Li Baisheng recently got to know an interesting trick.

The name of the trick is: The other party withdrew a message and kissed you…

It can also be played like this, [The other party withdrew a message and groped you.]

Or, [The other party withdrew a message and hit you.]

Now, I won’t give the remaining examples one by one. It’s not because I don’t want to give examples, but because…there are too many ways to play this trick!

With such a simple format of [XXX withdrew a message and XXXXX], of course, as long as one’s brain hole is big enough to fill with super imaginations, you could imagine just how wonderful the gameplay would be!

However, Li Baisheng still hasn’t gotten any weird ideas drilled in his brain hole yet. He simply followed the various examples found on the search engine and replaced his own name into the format. Next, he replaced all his group nicknames for each group.

Then… naturally it is time to enjoy playing it in various groups!

He crazily sends messages in various groups and then withdrawing them in various ways. A group of friends that had always been playing dead in the group and never seen this type of skill came online to ask him how did he do it.

After sharing the way of playing the trick with his group of friends, a variety of gameplay exploded. Various unique styles keep popping up increasingly in different groups causing Li Baisheng who saw it to be left speechless.

Suddenly, a certain admin of their classmate group finally couldn’t stand the barrage of messages and banned non-admin members from sending a message.

That’s when everyone saw the last withdrawal message before the ban.

[Li Baisheng withdrew a message and kissed the group owner once.]

Under the prohibition of other members to send a message, the group owner, Lurking For Thousand Years, send a sentence.

[Li Baisheng, why do you want to kiss me?]

Why do I want to kiss you?! Of course, it is because that is from what I copied down!

How could there be another reason! There can be none!

Then, Li Baisheng realized that his hand was rapidly typing a few words on the keyboard.

[Because I like you.]

The overwhelmed Li Baisheng was rejoicing that the group members were banned from sending messages as he did not dare to send this message.

When he wanted to delete it, Li Baisheng who accidentally pressed the send button due to his shaky hand, found that it had already been sent out!

It was sent out!

Sent out!

Sent!

Out!

Ah!

How could this happened!

He completely forgets that he, Li Baisheng is one of the group admin…

This is the moment when we realize the importance of setting “Ctrl+Enter” to send messages.

Li Baisheng, who wanted to save himself, quickly clicked on the message and withdrew it.

And so, he saw the latest withdrawal message displayed.

[Li Baisheng withdrew a message and kissed the group owner.]

…

Li Baisheng could only pass out from crying on his keyboard…

Regarding the situation where the once class leader during classmate period and now their immediate superior being “confessed” to [Thick Fog], 1 Li Baisheng was currently being roasted among his friends.

Daring to molest the class leader who was given the nickname “Iceberg”, Li Baisheng surely has extremely big courage.

With cheeks streaming with tears, Li Baisheng declared himself dead behind the massive pile of documents.

Since the incident of him “confessing love” to class leader Liang, Liang Zexun, Li Baisheng feels that his good days are over.

He had been doing just fine in the small staff office downstairs when he was suddenly transferred to the office upstairs the next day under the envious gaze of his colleagues.

He absolutely didn’t want to go upstairs to share the same “room” with Liang Zexun! Just let him stay downstairs and do his work peacefully!

However, Li Baisheng felt that this wasn’t yet the most miserable incident.

What is more tragic is that a colleague who was sitting next to him told him that his desk was directly facing Director Liang’s office.

This means that he will always stay within the boss’ line of sight in the future, which means he can no longer happily slack at work!

Besides, the temperature here is obviously several degrees lower than the surrounding!

Even with a thick glass wall as a partition, you can still feel the “frozen rays” being emitted. The assistant in the office is probably already frozen into an ice sculptures!

Nevertheless, there was no time for him to feel sorry for the little assistant sister in the office. Li Baisheng felt that he should give himself a handful of sympathetic tears. Just why did he send such a sentence?

Look, now boss let him wear small shoes 2 ! This is the disaster caused by his hand!

3.

Thinking back, the Liang Zexun 20 years ago was what Li Baisheng’s parents called “other people’s children”.

The five-year-old Liang Zexun can already sit quietly before the piano and play a serenade, while the four-year-old Li Baisheng was still peeing and playing with mud at the sandbox outside of the house.

Six-year-old Liang Zexun would draw a chibi version of a villain for Li Baisheng, and the five-year-old Li Baisheng wouldn’t concede and also drew one for him even though what was drawn can’t be interpreted.

Liang Zexun who had reached school age was sent to elementary school by his parents. Meanwhile, Li Baisheng’s parents thought over it, and decided to send Li Baisheng who was still learning nursery rhymes with the teacher in the kindergarten, to Liang Zexun’s school, and asked Liang Zexun to take care of their ‘little brat’.

Li Baisheng is very good at math, thanks to his grandpa who had been teaching him abacus at home.

So, when Li Baisheng returned home with the first prize for the first-year abacus competition, he was awarded with a big drumstick.

However, the happiness hadn’t lasted for a day yet when Li Baisheng’s parents got to know that Liang Zexun from next door had won the first prize for children’s piano competition at the city level. They then started to consider sending their family’s Li Baisheng to learn some musical instruments too.

Li Baisheng who learned to play the violin naturally blames the next door Liang Zexun for it, because from learning it, his neck will ache all over.

Although Li Baisheng hates Liang Zexun very much, the person he likes the most is still Liang Zexun.

Because whenever his parents were away, Liang Zexun will be the one that accompanies him at home even though both of them would be doing their own thing. For example, Liang Zexun would work on his homework on one hand while Li Baisheng would watch cartoon on the other hand.

Even though Liang Zexun couldn’t reach the pots at his house, he would still search for ways to cook for him. He would step on a stool to cook him a bowl of ham and egg noodles. Despite the fact that the ham sausage was cut into weird shapes and there were even some eggshells that were accidentally mixed into the noodles, Li Baisheng and Liang Zexun happily finished them.

However, in third grade, Liang Zexun moved to another city with his parents. Li Baisheng, when got the news, buried himself in a quilt and cried all night. The next day, he hardened his heart and gave Liang Zexun his favorite toy car.

Since there is no Liang Zexun from next door to compare to anymore, Li Baisheng’s parents would no longer talk of his achievements like, “Look at Liang Zexun, today he took first place again in…”

Nonetheless, this does not make Li Baisheng glad at all. He went to learn the violin because of Liang Zexun and even learned at his utmost, but he just ran away! He decided that when he sees Liang Zexun again in the future, he must punch him!

4.

In the end, Li Baisheng still did not punch him when he met Liang Zexun again because he only discovered it when the newly appointed squad leader took over the stage to give a speech. The once round-faced Liang Zexun had grown into someone with an “iceberg” facial expression.

Even though they were close playmates when they were young, it is not uncommon for friendships to disappear after so many years of not seeing each other.

Although Li Baisheng has never forgotten Liang Zexun. Since then, his grades are almost always the first in his grade, and he has also achieved good results in violin competitions at the province level.

Li Baisheng thought that perhaps he likes Liang Zexun since he keeps chasing after Liang Zexun.

The idea above was instilled in him by his irresponsible older female cousin.

Even so, this does not mean that even after three years of experience of being desk-mates, he will not be flustered after hearing Liang Zexun’s confession.

Li Baisheng still remembers, it was during the classmates gathering after the college entrance examination. Everyone was enjoying karaoke while at the corner of the box, Li Baisheng, who had a good relationship with his classmates, drank a few glasses of wine and was leaning on the sofa in a daze when a tall figure shadowed over him.

…

Li Baisheng’s who got his first kiss stolen away was instantly sober. However, he still can’t move his muscles under the influence of alcohol.

”Baisheng, I like you.”

Li Baisheng felt like his head had burst open with a boom. The breath that brushes his ear made him feel itchy, and various thoughts flashed in his heart before it returned to a peaceful state.

Li Baisheng is still able to recall the feeling when Liang Zexun’s mouth comes near his, and the shallow breathing filled with desire that tickles his ear.

He thought, he must have liked Liang Zexun. All those memories from before were still well cherished in his heart.

5.

However, Li Baisheng felt that he still failed in trying to be calm and collected while facing Liang -iceberg- Zexun at this moment…

“Come here.” Seeing Li Baisheng standing at the door with no intention of taking another step, Liang Zexun stopped what he was doing and called out to him.

Li Baisheng took small steps all the way until he reached in front of the large office desk.

“Put your things here.” Liang Zexun pointed to a place on the desk, and then fixed his line of sight on the computer.

After placing the required files, Li Baisheng looked at the man who was looking at the computer intently. After making sure that he would not say anything anymore, Li Baisheng turned around and walked to the door.

“Baisheng,” there was finally a voice behind him when his hand was about to touch the doorknob.

“You heard that day.” Li Baisheng was sure that this was not a question.

Damn! How did he know that?!

“Last time you said you liked me, I was very happy,” Li Baisheng turned around when he heard it, and as a result, saw Liang Zexun who was standing right behind him since who-knows-when.

The previous time was truly a misunderstanding!

“You had evaded for so many years. Now that you finally accepted me, it makes me really happy.” Liang Zexun said before Li Baisheng has the chance to explain.

“Listen to me, this is…”

…

Li Baisheng’s eyes widened, but his thoughts drifted to the night a few years ago. The feeling is exactly the same as the one in his memory, dry but soft.

Li Baisheng who had thought of that point instantly counterattacked. He bits those two lips violently, causing Liang Zexun to retreat all the way back until he reached the large desk behind him.

“I hate you.”

“Huh?”

“You learned the piano, so my parents wanted me to learn the violin. You would get first place in the examination, and my parents would talk about you getting first place every day. After you confessed to me, you ran away and were nowhere to be seen.”

A certain person that thought he had been rejected and run to study abroad…

“But I still like you. I still freaking like you!”

Before Liang Zexun could even reply, Li Baisheng kissed him again…

6.

Later on, in a group that had been silent for a long time, a message silently appeared

[The group owner withdrew a message and kissed Li Baisheng.]

——END——

TN:

Do you think the MC is shou or gong?

The story regarding ‘wearing small shoes’:

According to legend, in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a girl named Qiaoyu. Her stepmother wanted to marry her to an ugly and dumb rich man but Qiaoyu refused. The stepmother had no choice, so she secretly tried to fix her.

It happened that there was a matchmaker who introduced Qiaoyu to a scholar. Qiaoyu liked him very much, but her stepmother cut a pair of small shoes behind her back and asked the matchmaker to bring it to the man. On the day Qiaoyu got married, these shoes could not be worn, so she could not get on the sedan chair. She was ashamed, annoyed, and anxious, and hung herself in a fit of anger. People feel very sorry for her.

Later, people applied this to social life, and used it to specifically refer to those who make bad ideas behind others’ backs, or use certain powers to find opportunities to put others in trouble, as “giving people small shoes.” It also refers to retaliation by superiors against subordinates or between people. It is called “wearing small shoes”.

Footnotes

An explanation from our dear Jelly: It is an internet slang. It is used on the 大雾 (thick fog) which has the same pronunciation as 大误 (big mistake). It is used to prevent the consequences caused by improper words or joking tone on the Internet. However, one still wants people to see it. Thus, they add a ‘thick fog(大雾)’ behind it to prevent others from thinking that it is real. Wear small shoes means using one’s power to put others in trouble. There is a story behind it, so keep scrolling if you want to read it.
