Ten seconds later, Fang Mo forcibly squeezed in between the two, walking in the middle.
Xu Xiran didnât notice Fang Moâs careful thoughts at all, so Fang Mo pretended to be nonchalant and took the initiative to talk to Xu Xiran as he walked.
âAiya, I donât think I brought my card either,â Fang Mo said, putting up an act.
Xu Xiran nodded, âThen you can also use mine.â
âAh, this is embarrassing,â Fang Mo smiled at him. âI really have to thank you a lot for helping me out so much today.â
âItâs really nothing, itâs not troublesome, no need to be courteous,â Xu Xiran smiled.
Fang Mo wanted to praise two more words, such as you are really too kind, warm, honest, and generous but before he spoke, Zou Shunâs voice came from the other side.
âMy god, why is it so cold today? I suddenly got goosebumps all over.â
âMm?â Xu Xiran was a bit far and couldnât hear clearly, âWhat did you say?â
Fang Mo coughed loudly, turned slightly sideways, and forcibly blocked Xu Xiranâs line of sight to Zou Shun and said, âHe said he wants to pack his dinner and bring it back to his dorm to eat.â
âAh, I see,â Xu Xiran didnât suspect anything. âItâs actually quite troublesome to pack your food in the dining hall here. You have to go to a special window to buy a takeout container and pack it yourself. Iâll take you there later.â
Zou Shun stretched out his hand and covertly pinched Fang Moâs arm. âThank you ah, sorry to trouble you.â

The dining hall was around a ten minute walk from the dormitory area.
It was still early for dinner, and there was barely anyone at the window.
After the three of them ordered what they wanted to eat, Xu Xiran swiped his card and took Zou Shun to buy a takeout container.
âI didnât look carefully just now, how much did I order in total?â he asked.
âI also didnât see,â said Xu Xiran. âItâs okay, itâs not too much, Iâll treat you both.â
Before Zou Shun could speak, Fang Mo said, âAh how embarrassing is that.â
ââ¦Iâll take a look at the price at the window when I leave,â Zou Shun glanced at Fang Mo, and then said to Xu Xiran, âIâll transfer the money to you later.â
Xu Xiran was a carefree person and no longer tried to fight back. He took out his phone from his pocket. âIn that case, you can add me as a friend on WeChat.â
Zou Shun was stunned. He looked at Fang Mo nervously, licked his lips, and then said, ââ¦how about you just treat me then.â
Xu Xiran was also taken aback. He held his phone for a while before nodding, âOh, okay.â
Just as the atmosphere became more and more awkward, Zou Shun suddenly smiled at Fang Mo, then turned to Xu Xiran and said, âFang Mo will treat you back for me next time.â

âYour friend is quite interesting,â Xu Xiran said quietly after Zou Shun left.
Fang Mo made no comment and instead of talking about him, he chose to recall the perfect assist that Zou Shun had made for him before leaving.
âYou took me to my room today and reminded me to look out for Liu Xiaochang, and now you not only treated me but also my friend to dinner,â he said sincerely. âI will definitely need your help in other instances in the future, so I really should treat you well for a meal sometime.â
âItâs really nothing, no need to mention it,â Xu Xiran waved his hand dismissively and then said, âThat friend of yoursâ¦â
Not Zou Shun again!
Fang Mo was speechless and wanted to immediately go and interrogate that little demon to find out what spell he used to attract the attention of his male god.
âHeâ¦â Xu Xiran hesitated.
Fang Mo frowned, âWhat is it?â
âNevermind,â Xu Xiran shook his head. âItâs nothing.â
Fang Mo became even more inquisitive now. âDonât just say half of it, do you really care that much about him?â
Xu Xiran hesitated for a moment and nodded, âA little bit.â
Fang Mo immediately entered the first level of combat readiness. âWhy? What about him? What is it that you care about?â
âCan you give me his contact information?â Xu Xiran said, âI want to ask him a favor.â
ââ¦â¦â
âWhatâs the matter? Do you find it inconvenient?â Xu Xiran said. âYou can ask him first, and you can give it to me when he agrees, no rush.â
Fang Moâs heart felt turbulent1.
âIs there a problem?â Seeing his strange expression, Xu Xiran was very puzzled.
âYou donât⦠have a crush on him, do you?â Fang Mo said.
Xu Xiran choked on the spot, coughed nonstop, and after some time, he shouted with a flushed face, âWhat the hell, donât make such a joke, okay!â
Fang Mo was very flustered, and for a while, he couldnât tell whether Xu Xiranâs reaction was so violent because he felt embarrassed after being exposed or because he simply disliked such assumptions.
âThen why are you so interested in him?â he asked.
Xu Xiran finally regained his composure. His cheeks were still a little red, and there was a hint of shyness in his expression. Seeing this, Fang Mo became more and more nervous.

Zou Shun was a boy with a peach blossom face.
This word was coined by Fang Mo, which meant that he was good at seducing people, especially other peach blossoms. He was also the delicate and pretty type, but not as feminine as Liu Xiaochang. When Zou Shun would stand there without a word, he would look very cute and pure. Even the way he smiled had the ability to seduce people. He was not bad looking and he was good at making his own way, always standing out in the crowd.
Because he never hid his orientation, Zou Shun had been unclear before with many straight men who âwanted to give it a tryâ.
Their first meeting was rather ambiguous. At the time, Fang Mo had just signed up for a dating app, and Zou Shun, who was located less than twenty meters away from him, took the initiative to meet him after seeing his picture.
In a crowd full of greasy and indecent chat-ups or people going straight to hooking up, Zou Shun seemed particularly pure and genuine, so Fang Mo chatted with him whenever he had nothing to do. In the end, although they didnât work out because of preference incompatibility2, they unconsciously established a deep friendship.
Zou Shun would tell him everything, and Fang Moâs ears grew calluses from hearing about his romantic anecdotes in the past two years.
Fang Mo had heard these similar stories countless times. As soon as some seemingly straight men knew the special orientation of this aesthetically-pleasing boy, they would try to experiment with him without having the need to feel responsible.

Fang Mo was very worried now; Xu Xiran must not learn about this.
Xu Xiran still felt rather embarrassed and looked a little awkward, completely opposite to his usual carefree image.
Under Fang Moâs gaze, he finally opened his mouth shyly and said something that Fang Mo felt was very mysterious.
âDo you know⦠Super Fantasy School Love Story?â
Fang Mo blinked at him twice. ââ¦Ah?â
âUh, itâs just⦠an animation work,â Xu Xiran turned his head and looked away from him, âYou donât touch this kind of stuff, do you?â
âAn animation film?â Fang Mo said.
Xu Xiran frowned and hesitated for a while, and made no comment.
âI⦠I know a little bit!â Fang Mo said quickly, âItâs from Japan, right? Japanese anime!â
Xu Xiran was a little embarrassed. âItâs a little different, itâs a donghua film, not an anime. Itâs based on a game, but the level of game production is generally not well-knownâ¦â
âAh? Oh, so thatâs what it is!â Fang Mo nodded, âI totally understand!â
Xu Xiranâs expression became even more tangled. He cleared his throat, then quietly said, âLetâs just say itâs an anime.â
âBut what does this have to do with Zou Shun?â Fang Mo asked. âFrom what I know, heâs probably not very interested in this stuff.â
âLet me show you something.â
When Xu Xiran finished speaking, he lowered his head and fiddled with his phone. After a bit, he turned the screen and handed it to Fang Mo.
The phone displayed a cartoon picture with this fancy logo at the bottom.
ãSuper! âFantasy School LoveStoryâã
In the middle of the picture, there was a short blue-haired boy and girl looking shyly at the camera.
âLook,â Xu Xiran said, âDoesnât he look the same?â
Fang Mo didnât understand. ââ¦as what?â
âAs your friend!â Xu Xiran was excited. âThey look too similar! You canât see it well on the screen, but even their heights are similar!â
Fang Mo stared at the character whose eyes were obviously larger than that of ordinary peopleâs and whose hair had incredible color. After trying to distinguish it for a long time, he couldnât find anything similar to that of real-life people.
But if Xu Xiran said so, letâs just say they looked similar.
However, there was a question that made Fang Mo extremely concerned and nervous.
âIs this the character you like?â
âHow is that possible, this oneâs a guy,â said Xu Xiran.
âOh, it is a guyâ¦â
âYou canât tell the difference between a girl and a guy?â Xu Xiran said, reaching out and swiping the screen. âThis is the one I like.â
The picture that appeared on the screen shocked Fang Mo.
Although Fang Mo didnât see much difference between this characterâs face and the one before, this one had long black hair, so he assumed it was a girl. While she looked very cute, there was a place below her face that made Fang Mo bewildered.
âWhat is this?â He stretched out his finger and poked at the bottom half of the screen.
Xu Xiran slapped his hand off. âWhy are you touching my goddessâs chest!â
Are those boobs?
Fang Mo was shocked. How could a normal humanâs chest grow this big, as if two basketballs were stretched in her clothes? It made a gay Fang Mo extremely uncomfortable.
