Prologue 3 Part 4

Author Note: Sorry for the late update. My internet and computer somehow rendered unusable for a time.

The day went by just like that. It's time to return home immediately after school. Even though it's just one day that I am late home, but it feels like a long time, so I better hurry back quickly.

As I expected when I returned home, Xue-nee hasn't returned home yet. Looks like I'll have to wait.

I'll just go take a shower first.

After taking a shower, Hong Shuang Yu grabbed a towel and went into the living room with nothing to do.

Eh…Since I have nothing to do, let's just finish my homework first.

He took out his homework and started to do it.

At this moment, there was the sound of a lock opening. It's pretty obvious that Xue-nee has returned home.

Hong Shuang Yu quickly stood up and went to the door to welcome him.

Nee-chan is probably tired…she must look after me every day as well as take care of the student council.

When he opened the door, he saw Hong Xue walk in with a dispirited face.

"Welcome back…"

After entering and hearing Hong Shuang Yu's face, Hong Xue's originally dispirited eyes started to sparkle.

Hong Xue put her bag and lunchbox aside and launched herself towards Hong Shuang Yu.

"I want to eat Yu-kun!!! I want to eat!!!"

"Eh???! Eat? Eat what?"

"I~want~to~eat~Yu-kun!"

"Wtf? Why do you want to eat me?"

Hong Shuang Yu pushed the clinging Hong Xue away from him with an astonished expression.

"I don't care! I don't care! I want to eat Yu-kun! I don't have enough otouto-kun energy left!" (TN: if you don't know what otouto-kun energy is I explained it in the previous chapter)

Hong Xue hugged Hong Shuang Yu and started smelling him.

"Hehe…Yu-kun smells so good after taking a shower."

Hong Shuang Yu used his hand to clobber Hong Xue's forehead.

"Ouchieeee~~~That hurts!"

Hong Shuang Yu has already gotten used to Hong Xue trying to get sympathy.

After the commotion, Hong Xue went to make dinner. Yet Hong Shuang Yu used this time to finish his homework.

"Yu-kun, time to eat~"

"Coming…"

Three dishes and a soup just perfectly cover all the flavors there needs to be. (TN: "Three dishes and a soup" is an idiom in Chinese, basically referring to the basic dishes in a meal.)

"Ittedakimasu." (TL: I graciously accept the food)

"You have to eat a lot, ok? This contains a lot of nee-chan's love."

Hong Shuang Yu is still pondering how he should tell Hong Xue about him doing rehabilitation exercises with Lu Jing Xing.

"If Yu-kun has something on his mind, you have to tell me!"

"Eh…How do you know?"

"Hmph~If Yu-kun has something on his mind, I could see it immediately."

"Did Qian Wei Hui tell you about it? What happened yesterday…"

"Of course!"

"So…nee-chan…I want to do rehab exercises with Lu Jing Xing…Is that fine…Even though I don't know about the results…"

After hearing what Hong Shaung Yu said, Hong Xue dropped the chopsticks in her hands and the smiles and giggles on her face vanished.

"Are you serious? Yu-kun."

Hong Shuang Yu got a little scared by Hong Xue's serious expression, but still looked at her and nodded.

"Yes!"

At this point, Hong Xue smiled warmly and said,

"If this is Yu-kun's decision, then it is up to you."

"Thank you!"

Hong Shuang Yu happily said.

However, at this moment, Hong Xue's tone started to become more serious.

"If Yu-kun cannot persevere you have to give up! Don't push yourself too hard! Okay?"

Again, being scared by Hong Xue's serious face, Hong Shuang Yu nodded.

Hong Xue started to laugh after seeing Hong Shuang Yu's expression.

"Come on! Let's eat~"

At first, Hong Shuang Yu expected for Hong Xue to not allow him to do such a dangerous thing, but weirdly Hong Xue did not object him to do it. Hong Shuang Yu really doesn't understand, but whatever.

After returning to school and telling Lu Jing Xing about his current situation, Lu Jing Xing became even happier. She was so happy that she didn't even seem to have an injury.

Hong Shuang Yu and Lu Jing Xing practiced together for over half a month. He never expected it to be this hard when he started.

Even after almost a month, Hong Shuang Yu still basically faints after walking for ten steps. However, Lu Jing Xing's leg has already started to heal.

"Let's go! Keep it up Yu-kun!"

Qian Wei Hui stood by the side and kept cheering Hong Shuang Yu on.

With the soft body of a girl next to him, he felt like his head was going to explode.

With his body shaking and sweating nonstop, a fear kept stabbing at his heart.

"Let's go! Yu-kun! You mad it ten steps!"

After taking ten steps, Hong Shuang Yu still didn't want to stop, but after feeling drained, he collapsed.

After collapsing, Hong Shuang Yu felt terrified inside.

After half a month passed, Hong Shuang Yu's symptoms started to ameliorate, and Lu Jing Xing's leg has already recovered. Even the doctors are astonished by the speed of recovery.

In the end, Lu Jing Xing's recovery was a success, but Hong Shuang Yu's was a failure.

The crisp sound of pencils, the extremely boring sound of the teacher's lecture has caused Hong Shuang Yu to lose all interest in listening to the class.

Even though he had the determination to cure his condition, after half a month, there is still no result.

"Hong Shuang Yu, please answer the next question."

The teacher that is teaching said.

The exhausted Hong Shuang Yu wasn't even listening to the class.

"Yu-kun…The teacher is calling you…Yu-kun!"

Ling Mu told him in a quiet voice.

"Eh…?"

The dispirited Yu-kun was completely oblivious to what was happening around him.

"Yu-kun…The teacher is calling you to answer a question."

"Heh…"

Hong Shuang Yu reacted and looked towards the question on the blackboard.

The teacher looked at him and gave him a look that says, "You better answer this question or else…".

"Hong Shuang Yu…"

After waiting a while, the teacher assumed that Hong Shuang Yu couldn't answer the question and was about to start lecturing him.

"The answer is the square root of two."

After saying the answer, the teacher looked down at his answer book.

And stared at Hong Shuang Yu.

"You better listen during class next time, now sit down."

Hong Shuang Yu signed with relief and sat down.

After the class, Hong Shuang Yu decided to keep resting.

A shadow appeared in front of him.

With the faint smell of shampoo.

It is the library administrator, Chuan Nai.

Her face looks like it could give anyone a chill. (TL: Meaning that she is expressionless)

"Hong Shuang Yu… Do you want to come to the library…It's been…a while since you last came…"

The voice was very cold yet quiet that the few words at the end were almost inaudible.

The sudden approach from a girl caused the originally dispirited Hong Shuang Yu to tense up.

"Ah…Uhm…I don't have much time…the past few days…I'll come when I have free time…"

Hong Shuang Yu stuttered.

Chuan Nai didn't really acknowledge how Hong Shuang Yu was acting and said,

"Ok…"

After nodding, Chuan Nai left.

Hong Shuang Yu let out a sign.

After all, these past few weeks have been dedicated to rehab exercises with Lu Jing Xing and eating lunch with her too. There is just not enough time for him to go to the library.

Let's just go to the library this lunch.

After enduring a few boring classes, Hong Shuang Yu rejected Lu Jing Xing's offer to eat lunch together.

What can I say, even after doing rehab with her she is still the most known person to him at school.

But Hong Shuang Yu's symptoms are still there and avoiding contact with girls is still his top priority.

After finishing Xue-nee's lunch, Hong Shuang Yu hurried to the library.

After picking a book in the library, but looking around in the library, he noticed that the library was packed with people today. It was almost the time for exams, so the third graders are studying for exams. Actually, he was also a third grader, and he dares to just come and read some random books. But Hong Shuang Yu didn't really care about his grades in this way. It's not that he doesn't care about his grades, a better way to put it is that he is confident in his abilities.

After circling the library once, he couldn't find a seat.

He then arrived at the entrance to the office.

Hong Shuang Yu stood at the door and thought.

Should I go in or not? If I go in I might be alone with Chuan Nai.

That is a serious problem, last time he just wandered in without thinking.

As Hong Shuang Yu was considering his options, the door to the office opened.

Inside was actually Chuan Nai.

Chuan Nai opened the door and saw the Hong Shuang Yu's expression.

"Come in…" Chuan Nai said lightly.

"Ah…Uhm…"

Without waiting for Hong Shuang Yu to finish, Chuan Nai returned to the office.

Hong Shuang Yu could only walk in shamelessly.

"Sorry for the intrusion…"

After appraising the room, Hong Shuang Yu concluded that there were no large changes.

Chuan Nai sat in a chair beside a large table in the middle of the room.

"Just sit anywhere you want….."

Chuan Nai said and continued to read the book in her hand.

Hong Shuang Yu looked at Chuan Nai's reaction and actually felt calm.

Looks like Chuan Nai doesn't like to talk much.

Because Hong Shuang Yu didn't really know how to talk to girls, this kind was the best for Hong Shuang Yu.

After calming himself down, Hong Shuang Yu started to read the book in his hands.
