TRMP Chapter 126

Chapter 124: Extra If Timeline

“You should really consider getting a different boyfriend; your boyfriend looks terrifying.”

The boy opposite Jiang Yifeng urgently grabbed his wrist, staring at Jiang Yifeng with intense desire and excitement.

Jiang Yifeng’s wrist was already red, the skin around the wrist bones compressed. The person was even secretly rubbing his skin with their fingertip, presuming Jiang Yifeng wouldn’t notice.

“Let go.” Jiang Yifeng’s face completely iced over.

He was on his way to find Xie Jingshen, but he hadn’t expected to encounter such an obstacle on the road.

The person’s somewhat crazed state made Jiang Yifeng feel uneasy. He twisted his wrist several times but couldn’t break free.

Students nearby who were watching the commotion sensed something was wrong and were about to step forward to help when someone came up behind Jiang Yifeng and embraced him. They gripped the boy’s hand covering Jiang Yifeng’s wrist and forcibly pulled it away, pushing the boy back several steps.

Only then did Xie Jingshen lower his head, gently kissing Jiang Yifeng’s hair, and then smiling softly, “What were you talking about?”

His tone was smiling when he spoke to Jiang Yifeng, but when he looked up at the boy opposite them, his gaze was so cold it made one’s heart sweat.

The boy had been quite eloquent in front of Jiang Yifeng just moments ago, but now he stammered, unable to say a single word.

He stared blankly at Xie Jingshen and Jiang Yifeng, his eyes filled with hesitation.

Jiang Yifeng cursed at him and pulled Xie Jingshen in the opposite direction.

“He told me to stay away from you.” Jiang Yifeng pouted unhappily, “Next time, be nicer to other students; don’t always have such a cold face…”

“I don’t have a cold face. I’ll help with anything I should.” Xie Jingshen didn’t think he looked that cold.

He had been smiling ever since he had spent a few times at his company during the summer – Xie Jingshen knew how important it was to maintain appearances.

Xie Jingshen had been smiling ever since he went to university.

However, the still pure and kind students would subconsciously stay away from Xie Jingshen – like how small animals would instinctively sense fear before a carnivore even launched an attack.

Xie Jingshen felt his attitude was already gentle enough.

But the students still found Xie Jingshen scary.

Except for a few people who approached him because of his looks, the rest wanted to stay as far away from Xie Jingshen as possible.

“I’m already very gentle.”

“Smile more sincerely.” Jiang Yifeng looked at Xie Jingshen’s tense expression and couldn’t help but reach out and pull up the corners of Xie Jingshen’s mouth.

His eyes stared directly at Xie Jingshen until his smile was sincere enough, then he nudged Xie Jingshen’s chest with his head.

“He said you’re terrifying, but I don’t think so.” After Jiang Yifeng said that, he took Xie Jingshen’s hand and intertwined their fingers tightly, then smiled with crinkled eyes, “If it weren’t for you, I don’t know what school I’d be in now.”

“I didn’t really donate a building; you got the grades yourself.” Xie Jingshen pinched Jiang Yifeng’s cheek and smiled helplessly.

Jiang Yifeng got the second-highest score in the school, while Xie Jingshen remained unmoved in first place, with a significant lead.

Although he was second in the school, his score was a few points short of the admission score, creating a chasm between him and the prestigious university.

Jiang Yifeng had originally planned to apply to a decent school closer to Xie Jingshen – he was already being supported by Xie Jingshen, which had cost him a lot of money, and Jiang Yifeng couldn’t let Xie Jingshen spend hundreds of millions more to help Jiang Yifeng go to school.

But Xie Jingshen was very angry when he found out.

Perhaps he was spoiled by Jiang Yifeng, Xie Jingshen pinned Jiang Yifeng on the bed in the bedroom and kissed him angrily.

That time, they nearly crossed the line, but neither of them knew anything. In the end, Xie Jingshen taught himself to press their things together and release, resulting in all the white liquid being splattered on Jiang Yifeng’s head, making Jiang Yifeng too ashamed to go out.

But eventually, they still had to apply to schools.

Xie Jingshen’s hand, wanting to donate a building, was stopped by the teacher’s words.

“Because you were only a few points short, the school communicated with the city, and the city’s top three students get ten extra points…”

Jiang Yifeng thanked the teacher with a red face, while the teacher looked at the two of them with a complicated expression.

Now Jiang Yifeng realized belatedly that many people had seen him and Xie Jingshen kissing after the college entrance exam, so the teacher must know too.

In the end, he didn’t rely on Xie Jingshen to get into the school, and he applied to his favorite major.

But Jiang Yifeng knew that without Xie Jingshen, his grades might not have been particularly high.

Or perhaps he would have dropped out to work when his father was sick and continued his mediocre life – he might have even been scammed into a job because of a high salary.

“They don’t know how good you are.” Jiang Yifeng held Xie Jingshen’s hand, his eyes full of smiles, “But it’s enough if only I know.”

.

Jiang Yifeng and Xie Jingshen rented a house outside.

Starting in their second year, Jiang Yifeng had to stay in the lab to help with his major courses.

Xie Jingshen received news several times that Jiang Yifeng was helping out in the lab, and the emptiness in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

He deliberately didn’t tell Jiang Yifeng and waited for him outside the lab, but Jiang Yifeng didn’t appear until the lab lights were turned off.

It was drizzling when he went home, and Xie Jingshen’s hair was wet when he entered the door.

He kicked off his shoes and met Jiang Yifeng, who came out of the kitchen.

“Why did you go out? You’ll get sick in the rain!”

Jiang Yifeng covered Xie Jingshen’s head with a towel and rubbed it hard, then pulled him to take a hot shower.

Xie Jingshen lowered his eyes, and at the moment Jiang Yifeng closed the door, he pulled him inside.

“Together.”

Jiang Yifeng was stunned for a moment.

He saw that Xie Jingshen’s eyes looked like he was about to cry, and his mood softened instantly: “What’s wrong?”

His fingertips touched Xie Jingshen’s eye sockets, and when Xie Jingshen grabbed his wrist, he couldn’t help but play with his eyes and smiled, “What’s wrong, you look so sad.”

Xie Jingshen took a deep breath.

“I’m not feeling well.”

Jiang Yifeng hugged Xie Jingshen, and both of them were soaked by the hot water. Xie Jingshen took the opportunity to change Jiang Yifeng’s clothes.

The two hugged in the shower, and Jiang Yifeng felt Xie Jingshen’s hand touch something. He leaned forward subconsciously but touched something.

Jiang Yifeng’s eyelashes trembled. He opened his mouth, but saw that Xie Jingshen’s face was flushed red, and he asked in a low voice, “Can I…”

Jiang Yifeng thought of something.

Jiang Yifeng’s heart softened.

He nodded, and Xie Jingshen became excited instantly, like a puppy who had received permission.

That night, Jiang Yifeng realized that Xie Jingshen had hidden things everywhere in the house. At first, he thought he would have a hard night, but he didn’t expect Xie Jingshen to be so prepared.

That night, Jiang Yifeng was drowsy and wanted to fall asleep, but he still persisted until dawn.

After the clock struck twelve, Jiang Yifeng tried hard to support his body and wanted Xie Jingshen to see something, but Xie Jingshen anxiously pressed down on Jiang Yifeng’s waist, making it impossible for him to say a complete sentence.

It wasn’t until the next morning that Jiang Yifeng was able to say to Xie Jingshen in a hoarse voice, “Your gift.”

“Huh?” Xie Jingshen looked blank.

“Lunar birthday.”

Jiang Yifeng turned his head away.

“I originally planned to give it to you in person.”

“Where did you get the money?” Xie Jingshen knew that Jiang Yifeng had no money, so he always stayed with Jiang Yifeng. He had even planned to give Jiang Yifeng his secondary card, but he was firmly rejected.

Jiang Yifeng’s second-hand mobile phone, which he had used for more than three years, was still in use, and he refused to let Xie Jingshen buy him a new one.

But the gift in his hand looked very valuable, a tie clip.

“I can only afford one now, but when I earn money in the future…” Buy a pair.

Jiang Yifeng thought to himself, but didn’t say it out loud.

Xie Jingshen held the gift and swayed it left and right: “Why did you think of giving me this?”

“You always have to go to work… Don’t you still have to go to your father’s company to train? I can’t afford a suit and still have to save some for living expenses, so I bought a tie clip. Remember to wear it when you wear a suit.”

Jiang Yifeng spoke softly.

Xie Jingshen not only wanted to wear it with a suit, but he even wanted to wear it with a crew-neck t-shirt.

It’s a pity that reason stopped Xie Jingshen.

“Did you, do a part-time job?”

“Of course, do you know how much part-time jobs at our school pay?” Jiang Yifeng excitedly gestured a number to Xie Jingshen: “Super high, online one-on-one tutoring costs as much as in-person tutoring…” Jiang Yifeng realized for the first time what the power of knowledge was.

Xie Jingshen smiled and reached out to grab Jiang Yifeng’s finger.

Although it wasn’t originally planned to be taken out today…

Xie Jingshen took out a red velvet box from the drawer, knelt on one knee, and handed the box to Jiang Yifeng’s hand.

“I couldn’t help it, so I wanted to propose to you in advance.”

Jiang Yifeng was stunned.

“Can you agree to me?”

Jiang Yifeng opened his mouth but said nothing.

Xie Jingshen knew that Jiang Yifeng would agree, but he was still extremely nervous.

He pursed his lips and said after a long while, half threatening and half aggrieved: “We’re still in a sugar daddy relationship, you can’t refuse.”

“…” Jiang Yifeng only moved his leg and felt a little pain, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.

Jiang Yifeng paused for a moment.

He narrowed his eyes.

“If we’re engaged, you can’t do it casually. Because it’s not a sugar daddy relationship anymore, I don’t provide…”

Xie Jingshen took out the ring and put it on Jiang Yifeng’s middle finger, then quickly said: “This is a gift from me to you, we still have to do it, let’s stay as sugar daddies first, and then get married directly next time…”

Jiang Yifeng hooked his finger and looked at the ring on his finger.

When Xie Jingshen saw Jiang Yifeng’s expression, his eyes were filled with a smile. He leaned forward, his whole body attached to his back.

“We have so much time together.”

“We will be together forever and ever.”
