Transmigrated into the School Idol’s Love Rival and Lover

Chapter 5 - Turned the Male Lead Green (5)

Subtitle: Ruan Yan, don't you dare to try your tactics on my Little Psycho

Ruan Yan originally didn’t like crying. Now that he was disguising as Ran Yan, he still couldn’t force himself to cry.

The Chu Nan who was classified as “though his grades were bad, but that was just because he didn’t like studying. In actuality, he was a top grade genius” in the original novel, suddenly stared at him without blinking, his sharp brows twisting into a knot.

Ruan Yan secretly wondered, did he find out that I’m actually fake crying?

That wouldn’t do. At least for now, Chu Nan still had to be amorous with him. He definitely couldn’t realise something was off!

“Chu Nan.” Ruan Yan schemingly leaned over, pasting his face on Chu Nan’s shoulder, though leaving a fraction of distance between Chu Nan’s body and his slender waist. “Let’s go back to class. It’s going to be the monthly test soon...if I don’t get a good score, then my mum and dad will scold me.”

As Ruan Yan spoke, his breath landed on Chu Nan’s neck, making Chu Nan’s heart itch.

His breathing turned slightly heavier. Chu Nan replied, “Ok, you don’t need to worry about that person just now.”

Even if he had to search 3 chi (1) under the ground, he would still find that person!

Finished speaking, Chu Nan took a deep glance at Ruan Yan before taking him back to the classroom.

This Little Psycho only had him in her heart and wasn’t at all aware of what her blushing face could mean to males. Thinking up to this point, this was probably also the reason why that Ruan Yan had become interested and spoken such perverted words.

With Chu Nan leading Ruan Yan back to class, a single glance was all it took for them to be let off the hook despite missing a self-study session. Afterall, the class leader didn’t have the guts to record their names down.

Very quickly, it was time for lunch.

Just as Ruan Yan was about to go to the canteen to eat, Chu Nan came over holding two food containers. “What are you dazing off for? Come and eat together.”

He had even specially declined Ju Ping’s invitation to lunch.

Ruan Yan was a slightly picky eater. Unsure of what Chu Nan had ordered, he became hesitant to agree.

Chu Nan looked at her in askance, “Didn’t I already say? If you don’t eat, then you won’t grow tall. When you spy on me, I can lift you with a single hand.”

He pushed the container in front of Ruan Yan, “Eat quickly.”

This Little Psycho must’ve been scared by that pervert today. Thinking that she would probably be too scared to even go wait in the canteen line today, Chu Nan had specially gone out twenty minutes ago to buy lunch.

Ruan Yan stared at the container and didn’t speak.

Chu Nan’s lips curved up, voice suppressed and bantered, “What? It’s not a heart design so you won’t eat it?”

She really liked him that much? Such a little psycho.

The conversation had already gotten to this stage and Ruan Yan could only accept the container, softly saying, “I didn’t…”

He found that Chu Nan had given him the exquisitely decorated container whereas he himself was eating from a normal white, non-reusable container.

Very apparently, Chu Nan had given him his lunch from home and bought a meal for himself from the cafeteria.

Ruan Yan had always been eating food from the cafeteria since he started disguising as Ran Yan. If he brought food from home, then Butler Lin would very likely prepare him swan liver, fish sauce, etc. that kind of food.

If he told Butler Lin not to be that concentrated, then Butler Lin would likely even omit the Swallow’s Nest every morning. It was known as: Young Master is living this kind of bitter life each day; how could I be worthy of drinking porridge…

Ruan Yan’s thoughts were slightly digressing, but Chu Nan had thought that he was too moved by his actions. Raising his chin, he said, “Choose a pair of chopsticks.”

One pair of chopsticks were made out of a white, unknown material. The other pair were once off chopsticks from the cafeteria.

There was no need to think to know who that pair of white chopsticks was originally used by.

Ruan Yan was slightly mysophobic. If it wasn’t necessary, the he didn’t want to eat from someone else’s chopsticks.

He thought for a moment before taking up the wooden chopsticks. “Chu Nan, I’ll use this pair.”

“Are you sure?” Chu Nan kept his cool despite the pressure and lowered his voice, “These are my chopsticks.”

Ruan Yan obviously knew that these were his chopsticks. In the next moment, Chu Nan moved close to his ear, and spoke, his breath hot and numbing, “If you don’t use it now, then the next time you want to be intimate with me, then it won’t be so easy.”

Ruan Yan felt a bit uncomfortable. His skin was very fine, like porcelain, just that after this kind of action, the back of his neck was completely flushed red.

He was being flirted with by Chu Nan, right?

The so-called school idol male lead had taken Ran Yan to be an ambiguous partner and was even so intimate with 'her'. Ruan Yan somewhat wanted to hide but couldn’t hide.

He could only duck his head and say, “Chu Nan, I’m just a bit shy.”

Chu Nan held his hand and said, “My chopsticks are washed very clean. Even if you eat from it, it won’t count as an indirect kiss.”

Indirect kiss?

Even Ruan Yan’s finger tips were slightly red. The hand holding the chopsticks almost wanted to throw it away.

It was just that no matter how Chu Nan looked at it, 'she' seemed cute and meng (2). He precisely liked Ruan Yan’s shyness!

Under his gaze, Ruan Yan could only accept that pair of chopsticks and bit by bit, pick up the dishes.

Not mentioning how hard this meal was to endure, Chu Nan still thought in his heart that Ran Yan was too reserved. Though his action of eating bit by bit was very cute, but it wasn’t good for the digestive system on the long term.

After eating, Chu Nan was going to play basketball.

Amongst his group, he was the best at playing basketball and had almost become a sports student (1).

Waiting until Chu Nan had finished playing and returned with a head of sweat, Ju Ping and the others following at the back, “Brother Chu, your slam dunk just now was so handsome! If it wasn’t for you, our team probably wouldn’t have won back there.”

Chu Nan usually didn’t care about this type of praise, but today, he turned to look for Ruan Yan. A single glance and it was disastrous; Ruan Yan was doing homework!

What was she doing homework for? Not sleeping and resting her body in the afternoon, but doing homework?!

Chu Nan walked over with a body full of the smell of male hormones. “What are you doing?”

Ju Ping and the others were all dumbfounded. Ran Yan was the school flower; Brother Chu was finding trouble for the school flower?

Ruan Yan frowned and said, “I’m doing my homework. My mum said that if I didn’t score over 300 for my monthly test, then she won't give me any living allowance.”

What did living allowance count for? I’ll raise you!

Chu Nan almost answered like this. He couldn’t stand Ruan Yan’s lonely and helpless appearance.

But thinking and he already knew that answering like this wasn’t suitable.

Chu Nan threw the basketball to Ju Ping. Then, something that never happened occurred. He moved his honourable eyes to the test paper that he usually looked down on and said, “Let me see… Why can’t you even do a single question? Can’t afford to do it?”

The Ran Yan that Ruan Yan was disguising as was an extremely terrible student, the type that was ranked first from the reverse (2).

Even if he could do these questions with a single look, he still had to disguise as if he was normally quite poor in these subjects.

“Chu Nan…” Ruan Yan was born as a school tyrant, and obviously had an air of pride deep inside his bones. Being told by Chu Nan that he couldn’t do these questions made him very ashamed and resentful.

But he couldn’t slap Chu Nan’s face right now, and could only settle with making him stop talking.

Chu Nan carelessly replied, “It doesn’t matter if you can’t do it. I’ll teach you.”

Ruan Yan was dumbfounded. Chu Nan, who ranked second last in the grade and was merely a single rank higher than him, was going to teach him how to do his homework?

Ju Ping and the others also had their eyes and mouth wide open in shock, yet Chu Nan really came closer.

“Asking you to question the east flowing water how long it is; however long is the length of my longing for you (3). What kind of emotion is this poem expressing?”

Chu Nan glanced over at Ju Ping and Ju Ping quickly answered, “Ah! This is easy to understand. The poet is watching the river flow to the east and wants to compare who is longer.”

“Yes, yes, yes, Brother Ju is wise!”

The corner of Ruan Yan’s lips twitched. Chu Nan annoyedly said, “Don’t play around. Ran Yan’s still here, don’t go overboard you guys.”

He once again changed his tone and used an extremely confident tone to say, “Ran Yan, I think that this type of question wouldn’t be so simple. If it were only testing the literal meaning, then why would they take it out to be an exam question? The river in this poem must have another meaning. The length also has a different meaning.”

“What meaning?”

Chu Nan muttered for a moment, “I think that this poem expresses the poets lofty sentiments and ideals. Daring to compare lengths with a river means that his ambitions are… far and wide.”

“F**k! Brother Chu, so awesome!”

“Brother Chu, I suddenly feel like playing basketball with you is too much of a waste of your time. Really, you’re our grades most genius sprout ah~!”

Ruan Yan: …The actual number one in our grade is right here watching you bunch of salted fish exploding from blowing your own trumpet. Feelings are extremely chaotic.

Chu Nan softly coughed, “Ran Yan, what do you think?”

Ruan Yan honestly thought that being a school dreg was difficult. He adjusted his tone before carefully replying, “Brother Chu, you’re really awesome.”

He knew that Chu Nan liked being praised, thus starry eyed said, “I don’t know how to do those questions at all, you’re too terrific.”

Chu Nan’s vanity was extremely contented. What did studying count for? It wasn’t hard at all!

Yet Ruan Yan couldn’t resist anymore and pretended to inadvertently say, “I have the answers here. Let’s compare it together.”

Everyone fell silent after looking at the answers.

What lofty ideals reaching the clouds?! The poem was freaking talking about the sorrow of friends parting!

Chu Nan pursed his thin lips, emitting an air of not being able to be easily offended.

Ju Ping had clearly witnessed the Chu Nan’s different treatment of the school flower, and said, “If Ran Yan really has to study, I heard that there was a new transfer student whose very good at studying. The teacher of class one even allowed him to not attend class. He seemed to be called… Ruan Yan? The name’s quite similar to yours.”

Dong!

Chu Nan’s face sunk, slamming his fist onto the table with a bang. “Who let you mention him?”

“What?” Ju Ping didn’t understand.

Seeing that Chu Nan was still going to vent his anger, Ruan Yan hurriedly went to comfort his target in a warm and sticky voice, “Chu Nan, you’re already very awesome. Look at you, you can play basketball and I heard that even your martial arts are very good. Your appearance is even so… If even your grade was the best, then can those other guys still live? Just let them go ma~”

He familiarly tugged on Chu Nan’s sleeve. Though Chu Nan’s expression didn’t change, the anger in his heart had extinguished by a large half.

His Little Psycho was so gentle and cute; that guy called Ruan Yan, don’t even think about laying a hand on her!
