    Extra 1: When love arises, sweetness is found (1)

    “Li Chongge, why are you so slow?”

    Qin Yuanging rushed in through the back door of the classroom, holding a basketball, covered in sweat. Just by him getting close, Li Chongge could feel the heat radiating from him.

    Li Chongge took a bottle of water from his desk and handed it over, then pulled out a tissue and slapped it on Qin Yuanging’s forehead.

    The tissue stuck to Qin Yuanging’s forehead because of the sweat, as if giving him a talisman.

    Qin Yuanging deliberately imitated a zombie, hopping twice, and approached with a cheeky grin.

    “Didn’t you say you were coming to watch me play basketball? Why are you still sitting?”

    Li Chongge peeled off the tissue from Qin Yuanging’s forehead and stood up with him, a little helplessly, “It doesn’t start for another twenty minutes. I was planning to finish this set of questions first.”

    Private high schools don’t have such strict requirements for grades, but Li Chongge has high standards for himself.

    According to his family’s plan, Li Chongge would gradually take over some work affairs during his university years, so he didn’t plan to study abroad.

    Therefore, in his plan, Jing City University was his only suitable choice in the country.

    Qin Yuanging had a physique that made him sweat easily, and he was already drenched in sweat just from warming up.

    But even though Li Chongge was a bit of a neat freak, he didn’t show any disgust when Qin Yuanging deliberately leaned on him.

    The two of them walked together towards the basketball court, which was already surrounded by many people inside and out.

    The appearance of Qin Yuanging and Li Chongge caused quite a stir.

    Li Chongge, needless to say, had a top-notch family background, an extremely superior appearance, and with the blessing of comprehensive development in morality, intelligence, and physical fitness, the word “perfect” was personified in him.

    But no matter how perfect Li Chongge was, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, everyone would be intimidated by his aloof temperament.

    So compared to him, even though he was slightly inferior in terms of family background, Qin Yuanging was more popular.

    His handsome appearance coupled with a lively and cheerful personality meant he had good relationships wherever he went.

    Although Qin Yuanging’s height had noticeably increased during the summer vacation, the fifteen-year-old boy was still thin and slender. Plunging into the crowded court, he was almost pushed to the ground.

    Li Chongge raised his hand to support him and pointed to the steps in the third row.

    “I’ll sit there. I’ll buy two more bottles of water later. Don’t drink any water that other people give you. I’ll bring it to you during the halftime break.”

    Qin Yuanging grinned and naturally picked up his jacket from under the basketball hoop and stuffed it into Li Chongge’s hand.

    “Okay, hold it for me. If you think the seat is dirty, you can use it todiàn – pad, it needs to be washed anyway.”

    “Okay, I’ll go buy water first.”

    Li Chongge took the jacket and hung it in his hand, the scent of roses lingering around him.

    It was Yu Keci’s favorite laundry detergent and fragrance beads.

    Qin Yuanging said that she had recently been brainwashed by someone. Even though there were many servants at home, she insisted on washing clothes and cooking for Qin Yuanging herself, saying that parents must participate in their children’s growth process personally.

    Qin Yuanging couldn’t stand the increasingly strong fragrance, and he even began to suspect that Yu Keci hadn’t washed them properly at all.

    But because he estimated that Yu Keci would only persist for a week at most, Qin Yuanging chose to be understanding of her fleeting enthusiasm.

    It was also because Qin Yuanging had been emitting a rose scent everywhere recently that he got a new nickname: “Rose Princess.”

    Thinking of Qin Yuanging’s miserable expression when he complained to him while holding his clothes, Li Chongge found it quite amusing.

    When Li Chongge came back with the water, the game had just started.

    The opponent was the team from the neighboring middle school. Although they were saying it was a friendly match today, whichever team lost would lose face.

    So it was obvious that today’s game would be very intense.

    Qin Yuanging took the lead with a three-pointer, bringing the atmosphere to a climax.

    Because most of the spectators were students from the school, they naturally cheered for Qin Yuanging’s team.

    For a time, the three words “Qin Yuanging” echoed in the basketball court.

    Li Chongge put Qin Yuanging’s jacket on his lap, sat quietly, his eyes always on Qin Yuanging.

    Ten minutes later, when the halftime break started, he belatedly realized that he didn’t seem to have paid any attention to who Qin Yuanging’s teammates were.

    Qin Yuanging obediently didn’t drink anyone else’s water. He crossed the crowd in two or three steps and stretched out his hand to Li Chongge.

    “Li Chongge, am I handsome!”

    Li Chongge threw the water into his hand and took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

    “I’m asking you, am I handsome!”

    Qin Yuanging’s light pupils were full of expectation. Li Chongge didn’t want to pay attention to him, but inexplicably, he said, “Handsome.”

    Qin Yuanging was extremely satisfied, and proudly tossed his bangs.

    “Then you have to watch carefully, I’ll be even more handsome later!”

    The halftime break was very short, and Qin Yuanging quickly returned to the court.

    Sun Qihao and the others seemed to be discussing game strategies with Qin Yuanging. Sun Qihao’s palm was on Qin Yuanging’s back, and the few of them were very close.

    Li Chongge wasn’t far away. Looking at the hand on Qin Yuanging’s back, his eyes flickered.

    Soon the game started again. Qin Yuanging was still the most shining focus in the crowd, making every ball beautifully.

    Li Chongge could hear the suppressed screams of the girls not far away.

    Qin Yuanging’s team won the game without any suspense. Amidst the shouts and cheers of the audience, Qin Yuanging looked at Li Chongge from afar and raised his eyebrows at him.

    Li Chongge curled his lips and stood up to go over, but saw a very pretty girl walk through the crowd, holding a pink envelope, and rush to Qin Yuanging.

    Li Chongge pressed back the corners of his mouth that had just risen, and even took back the steps he had just taken.

    This wasn’t the first time. Li Chongge had always known that Qin Yuanging was very popular with girls, but today Li Chongge felt especially annoyed.

    Moreover, Qin Yuanging usually politely refused, but today he accepted the letter and even leaned down slightly to say something to the girl.

    Qin Yuanging’s teammates were close and made teasing laughter.

    Li Chongge stood in the crowd, his eyes and even his face turned cold. But the teasing expressions on Sun Qihao’s faces gave Li Chongge a blow to the head. The warm sun was shining, but cold sweat was dripping down his back.

    What was he upset about?

    The expressions on Sun Qihao’s faces were the normal reactions of friends!

    Li Chongge retreated from the crowd step by step, the clenched fists exposed the panic in his heart.

    No, something was wrong, it shouldn’t be like this!

    Li Chongge had never been so flustered. He called the driver, told the teacher that something was wrong at home, and quickly left the school.

    His heart and mind were in a mess right now. He suspected that it was because the weather was too hot today that he had heatstroke, which caused such absurd emotions.

    When he got home, he suddenly realized that he had brought Qin Yuanging’s jacket back.

    Perhaps it was because the rose scent was too strong, Li Chongge, who rarely dreamed, actually had a dream.

    In the classroom, Qin Yuanging was dozing on the table, his lips slightly open because of the pressure from the hard surface of the desk, revealing a little of his white teeth.

    Li Chongge didn’t do anything, just sat at his desk and watched quietly.

    The alarm clock rang, and Li Chongge got up to wash up expressionlessly. It was a morning that was no different from usual. He confirmed that he liked Qin Yuanging.

    This was nonsense. According to his plan, he didn’t plan to be in a relationship before the age of twenty-five, let alone become a homosexual.

    But now everything was messed up.

    After the excessive shock, Li Chongge calmed down instead. It didn’t matter, he just needed to stay away. As long as he stayed away from Qin Yuanging, this terrible thought would slowly fade.

    Moreover, Qin Yuanging accepted that girl’s love letter yesterday, so he should have accepted her feelings too.

    Although Li Chongge didn’t approve of early love, but… he couldn’t control Qin Yuanging.

    When Li Chongge arrived in the classroom, Qin Yuanging was sitting in his seat, looking ready to question him.

    “Where did you go yesterday!”
