Reborn with an Old Enemy on the Day of our Marriage

Chapter 83 - Coming Out (2)

Topic: On the afternoon after the college entrance examinations, we walked out of the school in a happy mood. We saw our two formerly incompatible Bosses (Although we wanted to insert a lot more adjectives, the topic title has a word limit. Anyway, you get what we’re saying) and a parent standing under the sun, looking very tense. We got a little curious, so we approached them to ask about the situation. Suddenly, our Bosses told us that they’ve been dating for a long time.

Supplementary information: Both of our Bosses are male

What we want to know: Just how big do you think our psychological shadow is?

Even years later, whenever the tutoring group would come together, they would still mention this day. On this fateful sunny afternoon, they all learned what ‘being shrouded by your own psychological shadow’ felt like.

Even the top students, who had exhausted their brain’s learning capacity, still couldn’t calculate the size of their shadow.

It was beyond the scope of the syllabus, ah! This topic is beyond the scope of the syllabus!

Zheng PingQing’s smile showed teeth, but there was an undercurrent threat in his words: “This Boss orders you all to give us your blessings, forthwith. Immediately. Right now.”

He was so domineering that nobody could possibly refuse.

Lou XingGuang could only plant his butt on the ground.

In fact, the first to fall was Dong MingEn. However, Dong MingEn was lucky enough to be behind Xu Yao, so he could drape himself onto Xu Yao for support as he stared blankly at the couple.

The group behind them directly lost all their voices. They all turned silly and dumb as they thought: It’s definitely going to rain today. Our Boss is dating a man.

It was a real bolt from the blue.

Zheng PingQing was obviously dissatisfied with their reaction. He narrowed his eyes, and his voice dropped a few degrees as he said: “Why are you all staring? You don’t want to say auspicious words?”

Everyone: “....” You’re not even married, yet you already want to hear auspicious words?

While everyone was experiencing collective insanity, Gou XinDou, the man who had been sitting on this information for over a year, was unperturbed.

He was the only one in their group that wasn’t scared. He even took the lead to calmly say: “I wish Boss Zheng and Boss Lin a long and happy life together. May you live together until the white hairs of old age, to always be of one mind, and to forever bathe in the river of love.”

With such elegant vocabulary, one has to wonder if Gou XinDou had prepared a draft a long time ago.

The group once again descended into a strange silence. One by one, they secretly aimed admiring glances toward Gou XinDou.

Zheng PingQing was very satisfied with Gou XinDou’s performance. So much so that he almost blurted out, ‘I will bestow a reward.’ Fortunately, he didn’t forget that he was a modern man. He stopped the feudal words from escaping and lightly replied: “Ah Dou is very polite. I’ll send you the latest phone in the market after I get my admission notice.”

Gou XinDou swallowed down the ‘Thank you for the Lord’s generosity’ that he was about to spout, and then smoothly said: “Thank you, Brother Zheng.”

Others: “.....” WTF! There was this sort of reparation involved?!

The shock slowly faded, and everyone’s thoughts inevitably focused on material things. Seeing that these young, impressionable students were about to lose all their moral integrity, Lin YaZhi violently rushed at Zheng PingQing. “You bastard! You’re so young, yet you’re already so crafty! It wasn’t enough that you seduced Ah Qian to have sex, and then lead him astray? Now, you actually want to bribe your classmates?! I have to properly teach you how to behave with integrity today!”

Lin YaZhi learned his lesson. Fearing that he would attract a crowd and damage his son’s reputation, Lin YaZhi didn’t dare hit him directly. Instead, Lin YaZhi grabbed Zheng PingQing’s arm and dragged him away. “You come home with me right this instant. If I don’t properly destroy you, I can no longer call myself a teacher. I need to make a good example out of you!!!!”

Unexpectedly, Zheng PingQing was still able to maintain his delinquent temperament despite Lin YaZhi’s actions. He said: “You can hit me all you want. No matter what, I won’t break up with Lin Qian; no one can separate us.”

Lin YaZhi’s expression was dark as he angrily replied: “I’ll beat you up so bad that your face will be unrecognizable. See if Ah Qian will still want you then!”

Lin Qian, who was following them, immediately called out: “I’ll still want him.”

Lin YaZhi: “.....”

Zheng PingQing ruthlessly twisted the knife as he followed with: “He loves me not because of my face, but because of my heart.”

Lin YaZhi hated the fact that he didn’t have enough hands to cover both his ears and drag this person at the same time. He could only shout: “Stop talking, ah, I don’t want to hear it!”

Lin Qian: “Oh.”

Zheng PingQing: “Oh.”

The two were acting like dead pigs who didn’t fear boiling water. Or more accurately, it seems that they already foresaw this situation and were long prepared.

Lin YaZhi had a sudden thought. He felt like Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing weren’t asking for his consent.

They were just informing him.

For the first time in his life, the fearless and brutal Lin YaZhi panicked.

The tutoring group stood in place and watched as the family of three left.

Even when they were long gone, the group still couldn’t move.

Lin YaZhi’s earlier words still echoed in their ears-

Zheng PingQing seduced Ah Qian to have sex, and then lead him astray...

Sex...

Their hearts collectively shattered.

After who knows how long, everyone eventually came to.

They all looked at each other, lost.

Lou XingGuang was still slumped on the ground. Feeling that his hands and feet were still weak, he asked for help: “Can someone help me up?”

They all shook their heads.

“I don’t have the strength.”

“My legs are still soft.”

“My entire body is soft.”

“I feel dizzy.”

“I think I just had a heart attack.”

“Me too...should we go to the hospital together?”

......

Lou XingGuang: “.....”

After a brief discussion about treating their internal and external injuries, things finally calmed down a bit. They looked at each other and thought about the shocking love affair that had just been exposed.

Lou XingGuang stood up with much difficulty. “Boss and Lin Qian are...unexpectedly...”

He didn’t have the courage to say the words ‘in love.’

Zhao Daota suddenly realized: “No wonder the Boss always gives his eggs to Lin Qian during breakfast. I always thought Lin Qian was stealing them...”

Dong MingEn drew a small breath. His voice sounded very much like his dying expression. “They often wear each other’s clothes and shoes....”

As he said this, Dong MingEn had an epiphany: “Ah, they were wearing couple’s clothes...”

Like dominoes, the epiphanies fell one after the other. “And couple’s watches...”

Fu YiFei and Pan Qibo supported each other’s wobbling bodies and doubted reality together. “They fell in love but pretended they only got along for tutoring...have we been taken advantage of?”

Jiang TingJun gasped. “And they even dared to fall in love during their senior year! They were dating!” This single dog was actually a little jealous.

The other’s squinted at him. “.....”

Although she had already been accepted to F University, Tang WanQi, who had developed a deep friendship with the tutoring group, came by to support them. Unfortunately, Tang WanQi had also witnessed the fight and was currently in a state of disorder. Embarrassed, she tried to summon a polite smile and said: “I remember during Huo YeRui’s birthday party, I lost a game and had to get Lin Qian to carry me around the venue. Zheng PingQing rejected the idea....”

Jiang TingJun nodded hard. “I remember! Zheng PingQing said he refused because one of his brothers had a crush on you...”

Tang WanQi pressed down on her chest. “Now I know the truth....”

Jiang TingJun grabbed at his hair: “Those two swindlers! Those lovestruck liars!”

Class 1 and Class 8, who were under the direct command of the two bosses, were at the brink of collapse as they went back and forth.

Even the delinquents from Class 7 could only look at each other blankly.

Li Gao stated: “So Big Boss and Second Boss aren’t ‘father’ and ‘second father’...but....”

Very much like a chicken, Guo DangLi screeched: “It’s ‘Dad’ and ‘Mom’–”

Everyone: “....”

They didn’t dare visualize this.

Don’t visualize it!

Don’t visualize it!!!!

Seeing these formerly happy and ignorant young people now panicking and frightened, Xu Yao suddenly felt a sense of unspeakable pleasure at their pain.

It was their turn to experience the suffering he had endured during their entire senior year.

Xu Yao put on a cocky attitude and continued to intimidate them: “Now you know Ah Qian and Hardworking Zheng PingQing’s true relationship. I advise that you quickly reflect on whether you previously said something you shouldn’t have said, or did something you shouldn’t have done. You all know that Hardworking Zheng PingQing is a very petty and narrow-minded person. You should also know that the only way to avoid certain death is to take the initiative and admit all your mistakes before he comes for you.”

The others: “....”

Fuck! So fucking scary!

Initially, they were just shocked. But now that Xu Yao reminded them of this, they finally remembered how many times they’ve stepped on Zheng PingQing’s landmines this past year...

Tang WanQi didn’t have much contact with the two big bosses, so she wasn’t troubled by this. But she couldn’t help but frown as she asked: “But Ah Qian and Zheng PingQing never told us they were together. How can he count such slights?”

Xu Yao took the opportunity to discredit Zheng PingQing: “If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t. But this is our Hardworking Zheng PingQing. I’m sure you all know in your hearts just what kind of man he is....”

Zheng PingQing’s younger brothers: “....”

Lou XingGuang’s face started to turn green. “We introduced some girls to Boss...”

Xu Yao cupped his face and gasped. “My god, you actually did such a thing!”

Lou XingGuang: “.....”

While everyone shivered at the thought of their possible evisceration, there was a single man who looked calm and very detached.

Not only was he free from the threat of total annihilation, but he was even going to be rewarded for taking the initiative to bless the couple.

After a year of cautious living, Gou XinDou not only made a breakthrough in his studies but also achieved paragon status.

Gou XinDou stepped forward and directed a proud smile to everyone. “I’m different from you all. I haven’t stepped on a single landmine this past year.”

After his proclamation, Gou XinDou hitched his bag and ran away, the sun setting over his shoulders. His shadow stretched particularly long, as if hiding his deep merit and fame

Xu Yao also smiled. “I haven’t stepped on any landmines either.”

Although he was often ‘threatened‘ or ‘hurt‘ due to his close proximity to the couple, these people didn’t know that. Let’s put that off for another discussion in the future.

As soon as Xu Yao finished, he felt a strange gaze on him.

Xu Yao turned his head and saw that Dong MingEn, who was still draped over his back, was looking at him.

Xu Yao frowned. “What?”

Dong MingEn was very bitter. “You already knew that they were together...”

Xu Yao smirked. “Yep. So what?”

Dong MingEn silently released Xu Yao’s shoulders and retreated several steps away, keeping some distance between them. His expression was full of suspicion as he continued: “Then you already knew that their watches were couple’s watches...”

Xu Yao was confused. “...yes?”

Dong MingEn suddenly covered his chest with his hands. “Then what did you think when you decided to wear the same watch as me?”

Xu Yao: Fuck!

The rest of the group also reacted at Dong MingEn’s words. They looked at Xu Yao in shock.

Xu Yao waved his hands in panic and said: “Don’t blame me, you were the one who gave me the watch...”

Dong MingEn complained: “You wanted me to give you one!”

Xu Yao: “...don’t make groundless accusations! I didn’t ask you for one, ah!”

Lou XingGuang stepped forward to testify for his brother and accused Xu Yao: “You did. That day when you got drunk, you asked Xiao Dong to get you a gift!”

Xu Yao: “....”

Dong MingEn’s expression became worried. “You also usually paw at me whenever we meet!”

Lou XingGuang continued to testify: “Before the exams, you also offered to join fingers with him!”

Dong MingEn raised his index finger. “It was this one!”

Dong MingEn’s heart was distressed, and he directly asked Xu Yao what his intentions were. “Do, do you want to do me?”

Xu Yao was speechless at their allegations. In the end, Xu Yao felt that he might as well abandon himself to despair. He angrily shouted: “Dong MingEn, if you say another word, you’ll end up flat on your back!”

Dong MingEn: I’ll immediately shut up.

The others gave Xu Yao a thumbs up. “Ah Yao, we admire your capacity to make your lover behave.”

Xu Yao: “....”

The author has something to say:

.....I don’t know how this happened. I wanted to hurt the tutoring group, but in the end, I couldn’t help but hurt Ah Yao.
