บท 30: She Just Treats Me As Her Little Brother
บรรณาธิการ: Henyee Translations
Once again, Xia Qingxue took her red Ferrari back to the dormitory with Su Hao.
Su Hao was lying on the sofa like a dead dog. What kind of unexpected calamity had he suffered today? Because of Xia Qingxue, he was now famous in the academy. It was the exact opposite of his original intention to keep a low profile and develop without rest. Fortunately, no one knew that he could unleash the power of a cultivator without cultivation.
"Oh? What's going on? You look like you're out of breath."
Su Hang walked out of his room and sat beside Su Hao with a smile.
Su Hao instantly got up. His face was filled with displeasure as he said with a hint of bitterness, "Don't mention it. It's really a mess. I clearly didn't do anything. Xia Qingxue, the girl who had asked me to meet downstairs, is very pretty and that led to some unwanted exposure."
Su Hao was afraid Su Hang didn't know who Xia Qingxue was. He didn't expect Su Hao to wave his hand and say, "I know, I know. The new Goddess Xia Qingxue, it's not like I don't shop on campus."
"Eh? Forget it, it's good that you know."
Su Hao was a little shocked that Xia Qingxue was actually so famous. However, he immediately curled his lips and continued, "And since I had a good relationship with her, the male students in my class became jealous and didn't give me any face. The chances of socializing for me died before I even had the chance."
He sadly looked up at the sky… the ceiling.
"Hahahaha, then you're really unlucky. But don't you think Xia Qingxue is interested in you?"
"Huh? Are you serious? How is that possible? She only treats me as her younger brother."
Su Hao waved his hand in refusal, indicating that it was impossible.
"Oh, really?"
Su Hang raised his brows and looked playfully at his wooden roommate. He felt that he had to fight to protect his roommate's love.
"Yeah."
Su Hao said with absolute certainty. After interacting with her for a few years, he felt that he understood her well enough.
Su Hang rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment before saying, "Let me ask you then, did she do that to any guy other than you?"
"Well… let me think about it."
Su Hao started to recall the bits and pieces of their past interactions. Then, he realized that besides him, Xia Qingxue had never been close to any other guy!
The more he thought about it, the more flustered he became. Cold sweat began to form on his forehead. "No… no," he said, his throat stuck.
It wasn't that she didn't have any, the other guys couldn't even touch her at all. She was like a flower in the mountains, only able to be seen from afar and far from anyone's touch. Only Su Hao could make her willingly walk down the mountain peak and rush towards him without any care.
"Does Xia Qingxue have any physical contact with you?"
Seeing Su Hao's intense reaction, Su Hang suddenly felt that something was up. Who knew, he might be able to enlighten this blockhead today!
"I do."
Su Hao replied. At this moment, his mind was in a mess. Was he really going to doubt Xia Qingxue's feelings for him? But in the past, when Su Hao asked her why she treated him so well, she only said that she treated him as a younger brother. Didn't she treat him well because of that?
Ever since then, Su Hao had completely believed that she only treated him as a younger brother. Hence, he kept away all thoughts that he shouldn't have. As a result, no matter how much Xia Qingxue hinted, Su Hao only thought that Xia Qingxue treated him as a younger brother.
Su Hang nodded in satisfaction and asked, "What about others?"
"No, at least not in my memory. Also, if any other guy wanted to touch her, she would immediately dodge and show a disgusted expression."
"That's right! Isn't that obvious? If this isn't love, then what is? Other guys can't touch her but she took the initiative to touch you and get close to you. If this isn't love, then what is?!"
Su Hang's saliva was flying all over the place as he spoke. He was extremely excited, as though he was boasting to his about his son.
"But I used to ask her why she was so good to me. She just said she thought of me as a little brother."
Su Hao said faintly. It was obvious that he still didn't believe her.
"Ah, this!"
Su Hang froze. He finally understood why Su Hao wasn't aware and why he could not find the actual reasons behind her intentions.
He let out a bitter laugh. There was nothing he could do about this. Su Hao thought how this was similar to a girl who liked a boy but when that boy confessed to her, she said that she only saw him as a friend and had no romantic intentions.
Right now, Su Hao's situation was roughly the same. At the time when Su Hao looked forward to it the most and was most willing to believe that she liked him, Xia Qingxue had said those words to him. From then on, they were deeply rooted in Su Hao's heart.
Hence, no matter what Xia Qingxue did, Su Hao only thought that she treated him as a younger brother!
This was something akin to a shadow in his heart. No matter how much he tried to convince Su Hao, he probably wouldn't be able to convince him.
"Sigh…"
Su Hang sighed and looked at Su Hao with sympathy. So, it turned out that the girl was the one who committed the sin. This matter could only be resolved by them. There was no need for him to meddle in it. If there was a chance, he could just help out.
Thinking of this, he said to Su Hao, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. In any case, you will understand in the future."
"Um, okay."
Su Hao scratched his head but he didn't think too much about it because he couldn't figure it out. If Xia Qingxue didn't tell him, he probably wouldn't know for the rest of his life.
"Tsk, it's already so late. Are you hungry? I'll cook some supper for you."
Su Hang looked at his phone and realized it was already 10: 30 PM. Furthermore, Su Hao was still a mortal. He thought that Su Hao might be hungry and wanted to cook something for him.
"I'm not hungry. I was too full from the restaurant."
As Su Hao spoke, he touched his stomach. Back at the restaurant, he ordered a lot of things in one go. Then, he swept through everything in front of Su Hang who was dumbfounded.
"Pfft! You ate more than 20 steaks, hahahaha!"
Su Hang thought of the scene back then and burst out laughing while clutching his stomach.
"Hey, hey, don't laugh at me."
Su Hao scratched his cheek in embarrassment.
"Sure, sure."
Su Hang wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and returned to the sofa to continue chatting with Su Hao.
"There's something I almost forgot to tell you."
"What is it?"
Su Hao frowned and asked in confusion.
"It's nothing much. It's just that I won't be in the dormitory next Sunday morning, afternoon or evening. I'll probably only be back at night."
Su Hang said with a smile.
"Where are you going?"
"Nothing much, just going to the Demonic Beast Forest behind the school."
Su Hao's eyes lit up the moment he heard Demonic Beast Forest. He stared at Su Hang with a burning gaze.
"Hey, hey, what's with that look?"
Su Hang felt chills down his spine. He felt like he was being targeted by a gay right now.
"Hehehe, Brother Hang, can you bring me along?"
Su Hao leaned over with a fawning smile on his face.
Su Hang frowned and was about to reject when Su Hao spoke again, "Aiya, Brother Hang, you're a middle-aged senior. It shouldn't be a problem for you to bring a newcomer like me to help me broaden my horizons."
"Moreover, during the Audacity Test in the classroom, I wasn't scared at all when facing the Demonic Beast!"
Su Hao smiled ingratiatingly and massaged Su Hang's shoulders and legs.
"Oh? Really?"
Su Hang raised his brows and glanced at Su Hao. Previously, Su Hao had been complaining about Xia Qingxue the moment he returned. He didn't even ask what had happened afterward. However, he could tell from Su Hao's calm expression that the Demonic Beast really did not scare him.
"Why would I lie to you, Brother Hang? I hate lying the most!"
"Yeah, call me in the morning. I'll go with you on Sunday."
Su Hang hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded his head. He was very confident in his own strength. With his strength, as long as he did not encounter any Golden Core Demonic Beast, he would be able to protect Su Hao. Hence, he agreed.
"Yay! Thank you, Brother Hang. Love you so much!"
As he spoke, Su Hao rushed up to kiss Su Hang. Su Hang quickly held him down, afraid that the brat would really kiss him.
