Chapter 159 - TTFSO Chapter 159
The doctor disinfected the abrasion on Tang Qi Yuan’s face with medicine, then gave him some more medicine and instructed, “Be careful when you wash your face in the near future, try not to touch the wound.”
“Does he need to eat medicine?” Sheng Cen stood next to Tang Qi Yuan and spoke in a deep voice, his face was a little red, his hair was damp with sweat. After entering the hospital just now, he had been running back and forth to help Tang Qi Yuan register and queue up, he was so busy that he didn’t stop until now.
The doctor shook his head, “No need, it’s nothing serious, just don’t touch the wound.”
Tang Qi Yuan looked at the sweat on Sheng Cen’s forehead and took out a handkerchief from his bag and handed it to him, “Wipe it ba.”
Sheng Cen was stunned for a moment when he saw the handkerchief, he didn’t think that people would still use handkerchiefs in this era, he was a little surprised as he took the handkerchief.
The texture of the handkerchief is very soft, and there were several small glutinous rice balls embroidered on the bottom left corner of the light blue handkerchief. Sheng Cen counted them, seven in total, which was inexplicably cute.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked: “Don’t tell me that you embroidered these?”
“How is that possible?” Tang Qi Yuan stared at him with round eyes, astonished.
“……” Sheng Cen reacted, also feeling that his question was a bit silly, but he couldn’t help but feel that there was nothing that his table mate couldn’t do.
Sheng Cen let out a low cough calmly, picked up the handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. The handkerchief was soft and much more comfortable than a paper towel.
After he finished wiping, he put the handkerchief into his trouser pocket with expressionlessly.
Tang Qi Yuan opened his mouth and reminded him, “My handkerchief.”
“En.” Sheng Cen replied, but had no intention of returning the handkerchief to Tang Qi Yuan.
Tang Qi Yuan pursed his lips, feeling that his table mate is a bit thick-skinned, but a handkerchief was just a handkerchief, and since his table mate liked it, he could just give it to him generously.
The two of them said goodbye to the doctor and after leaving the hospital, Sheng Cen personally sent Tang Qi Yuan home.
“Classmate Sheng, thank you for sending me back.” Tang Qi Yuan stood downstairs and said goodbye to Sheng Cen, remembering the progress of his studies today, and said with some regret: “I haven’t had time to explain the paper to you today.”
Sheng Cen took one look at the injury on his face, pressed the corner of his mouth and said: “We’ll talk about it tomorrow after school.”
He seemed a little embarrassed when he finished speaking, turned around and left.
Tang Qi Yuan’s eyes lit up when he heard his words, and he quickly waved happily, “See you, Classmate Sheng!”
Sheng Cen sat in the car, looking at Tang Qi Yuan standing outside through the dim car window, and couldn’t help but muttered, “Little nerd.”
The next day, when Tang Qi Yuan went to school, his classmates were surprised to see the wound on his face, and all of them kept glancing at Sheng Cen’s face.
The injury on the study tyrant’s face must have been inflicted by the school tyrant! They had personally seen the study tyrant following after the school tyrant yesterday! As they thought this, the way they looked at Sheng Cen unconsciously became more fearful, as if Sheng Cen was some kind of beast.
Tang Qi Yuan didn’t know what they were thinking, he sat down in his seat, put down his school bag and saw a brand new stack of handkerchiefs on his desk, he couldn’t help but pick them up to take a look.
He frowned slightly and reached out to nudge Sheng Cen, who was sleeping sprawled next to him, and asked in a low voice, “Are you giving me these handkerchiefs?”
Sheng Cen raised his head, not knowing if it was because he hadn’t slept well last night, his whole person looked a little irritable, and the air pressure was low like a layer of frost.
However, Tang Qi Yuan did not show the slightest fear and continued to look at him calmly.
Sheng Cen reached out to rub a handful of hair and gave a soft ‘en’, saying impatiently, “Returning it to you.”
Tang Qi Yuan shook his head, “No need to buy a new one, just give me back my old handkerchief.”
“It’s gone, just these.” Sheng Cen lifted his chin, not feeling guilty in the slightest.
Tang Qi Yuan was speechless for a moment, so he had to pick one of his favourite handkerchief from the stack, then pushed the rest onto Sheng Cen’s table, “It’s enough for you to return one to me.”
Sheng Cen sneered and sidled up close to Tang Qi Yuan, bracing his hands on either sides of his body, narrowing his narrow eyes, his face grim as he said: “I purposely woke up early this morning, ran to a few shops and bought these handkerchiefs for you, and you say you don’t want it?”
The two students seated behind them were startled and hastily dodged away, not only had the school tyrant beaten the study tyrant yesterday, but he is going to continue torturing him today!
Tang Qi Yuan looked at Sheng Cen’s face close at hand and blinked gently, the contours of Sheng Cen’s eyes were very deep and when he stared at someone, he looked extraordinarily focused. An inexplicable nervousness rose in his heart, and his fingers unconsciously grabbed the hem of his clothes and whispered: “I can’t ask for more.”
Sheng Cen’s eyes sank, “En?”
Tang Qi Yuan looked into his gloomy eyes and unconsciously shrank, asking in a whisper: “Can I keep the handkerchief and give you money?”
Sheng Cen looked at him for a moment, then suddenly withdrew his hands and slid it into his pocket, leaning back in his chair with a breezy ‘en’.
Given this little nerd’s character, he probably wouldn’t take it without paying.
Tang Qi Yuan’s felt relieved and he hurriedly asked: “How much is it?”
In fact, he liked all these handkerchiefs that Sheng Cen had bought, but it was just that General Tang had taught him since he was a child that he should not take more than he needed for no reason, so he had only picked one, and it would be great if he could buy them.
Sheng Cen opened his mouth and said a reasonable price for an ordinary handkerchief. In fact, these handkerchiefs were all custom-made models from high-end luxury brands, so naturally, they were not as cheap as he said.
Tang Qi Yuan focused on studying on normal days and didn’t know about those luxury brands at all, so he believed it without thinking too much. He immediately took out his wallet, counted the money neatly in it, and put it on Sheng Cen’s table.
The students in the class who had been watching their every move could not help but suck in a breath of cold air, the school tyrant had actually started robbing the study tyrant’s money!
Could this be the legendary protection money? They unconsciously squeezed the wallets in their hands and decided that they must act poor in front of Sheng Cen in the future.
At the same time, they couldn’t help asking the same question in their minds, are even the princes are so poor now?
Chen Zi Zhan noticed everything and snorted coldly, Tang Qi Yuan was really hated by Sheng Cen, this was just a matter of course, even he could not even enter Sheng Cen’s eyes, what is one Tang Qi Yuan.
He gave Tang Qi Yuan a disdainful glance, and his depressed mood, which had lasted from yesterday until now, finally improved.
When school was over, Sheng Cen had just left his seat with his backpack when he was tugged on the arm by Tang Qi Yuan, “Classmate Sheng, I agreed to explain the exam paper to you today, you can’t leave.”
Sheng Cen sighed helplessly and sat back down, he had met such a nerdy little boy who could not be beaten or scolded, and for the first time, he understood what it meant to feel at a loss on what to do.
He watched as everyone walked out of the classroom one by one, all of them giving Tang Qi Yuan a sympathetic look before they left. He couldn’t help but get angry. He was obviously the one who should be sympathised with, right? How come each and everyone’s expressions are instead looking as if he forced Tang Qi Yuan to stay?
“Classmate Sheng, let’s start with the first question.” Tang Qi Yuan pointed to the paper and began talking about the questions in a warm voice.
He explained the process in a very structured manner, making it easy to understand after listening once. If it was a student who loved learning that was listening to him talk about the questions, it would be more than they could wish for, but unfortunately, it was Sheng Cen who was listening to him now.
In fact, he wanted to tell Tang Qi Yuan that he could do all these problems.
Sheng Cen kept spinning the pen in his hand. The questions taught by Tang Qi Yuan went in one ear and out the other. In fact, he wanted to tell Tang Qi Yuan that he could do all these problems.
Unfortunately, he could not say that, there were too few people in this world who were worthy of his trust.
Tang Qi Yuan bowed his heads and explained seriously, not noticing the gloom in Sheng Cen’s eyes. He would occasionally look up and ask Sheng Cen if he had understood the question, and Sheng Cen would often nod perfunctorily.
Sheng Cen spun his pen for a while, feeling a bit bored, his eyes gradually focused on Tang Qi Yuan’s lips that kept opening and closing.
Tang Qi Yuan’s lips were beautifully shaped, red and full, and because he had just drunk water, there was a faint watery light on his lips, the curvature of his lips is slightly upturned, and it was as if he was wearing a smile when he spoke.
“Classmate Sheng, do you understand?” After Tang Qi Yuan asked and waited for half a day without hearing him answer, he couldn’t help but look up at Sheng Cen in confusion.
Sheng Cen’s gaze rested on his lips and seemed to be wandering off, he frowned slightly and reached out to wave his hand in front of Sheng Cen’s face, “Classmate Sheng, do you understand?”
“Ah……” Sheng Cen came back to his senses and immediately averted his gaze, his brows frowning slightly as he replied in a low voice, “Yes, I understand.”
“Classmate Sheng, you have to pay attention to the explanation ah, I know your foundation is poor, these knowledge will be a little difficult for you to learn at first, but you have to persist a little.” Tang Qi Yuan spoke bitterly.
Sheng Cen nodded a little unnaturally, glanced at his lips again, averted his gaze, looked out the window and said, “It’s too late, the sky is getting dark, let’s stop here for today.”
Tang Qi Yuan turned his head, only then did he realise that the sky had unknowingly darkened, he hastily gathered his papers up, nodded and said: “Okay, let’s not delay the doorman grandpa from getting off work, I’ll explain the rest of the questions to you tomorrow.”
Sheng Cen opened his mouth, but thought better of it. If he retorted, the little nerd would start reasoning with him again, anyway, there is nothing to do at home tomorrow, so he might as well continue to waste time with the little nerd here.
“I’ll send you home.” Sheng Cen walked out first.
Tang Qi Yuan hurriedly followed, “No need, I live nearby anyway.”
“Why do you live so close?” Sheng Cen remembered that the place where he had sent Tang Qi Yuan home yesterday was indeed near the school.
He only remembered this morning, in interstellar, the one with the surname Tang and had seven children in his family should be General Tang’s family, but as far as he knew, General Tang’s family did not live near here.
Tang Qi Yuan said as he carried his bag on his back: “My house is too far from here, so my Ge and I moved out to live in a house nearby.”
“Just you and your Ge, the two of you?” Sheng Cen frowned slightly, it didn’t seem very safe for two high school students to live outside like this.
As if he knew what he was thinking, Tang Qi Yuan pursed his lips and smiled: “My Ge is very strong, ordinary people can’t beat him, and he’s especially nice, he’s always taken care of me since I was little.”
Sheng Cen slightly raised his eyebrows, “You usually compliment your Ge a lot too? Just like you compliment me?”
Tang Qi Yuan thought for a moment, then shook his head, “My Ge doesn’t like it when I compliment him.”
Sheng Cen wanted to say that he didn’t like it either, but thought better of it, the feeling of being complimented didn’t seem too bad.
The two of them had unknowingly walked downstairs and said hello to the doorman grandpa before leaving the school.
Tang Qi Yuan took out a small notebook from the side compartment of his school bag and said: “Classmate Sheng, remember to review the third paragraph on page fifty-two of your maths book at home tonight, and……”
Sheng Cen reached out a hand to support his forehead and said in a faint voice: “Watch where you’re walking.”
Sheng Cen’s palm carried a warm breath, Tang Qi Yuan’s voice stalled, his heartbeat unconsciously slowed by half a beat.
He looked up ahead, the teenager was not far from a power pole. Sheng Cen should be afraid that he would hit that pole, beside the pole, the falling sunset stretched their inverted silhouettes very long.
He couldn’t help but drift off for a moment, blinking his eyelashes gently.
Sheng Cen’s hand moved away, but the temperature still stayed on his forehead, and he nodded slowly, his voice very softly saying ‘okay’.
Sheng Cen walked with Tang Qi Yuan all the way downstairs and watched him go upstairs before he turned around and left, getting into the car that came to pick him up.
The royal car was so luxurious and cold but sitting inside was not as comfortable as it looked. Instead, it had an unspeakable suffocating effect.
Sheng Cen sat on the car seat, looked up at the soft light lit up in Tang Qi Yuan’s room, slightly hooked his lips, such a warm and soft light never belonged to the royal family.
melon: He shamelessly stole the handkerchief 🤣🤣🤣🤣
