The Beautiful Cannon Fodder Only Wants to Chase the Cold and Aloof Academic God Chapters 14, 15, and 16

 Chapter 14: Forum

“Damn it, I’ve never been slapped in my life, and now that I know someone wants to slap me, I have to endure it?” Shen Mu cursed the task countless times in his heart.

Feeling unhappy, Shen Mu stood up and took out his unfinished homework from the table, intending to finish it to distract himself. He also called Fei Xinglan to join him in studying.

“Bro, I’ll play for just a little while, really just a while. I can make up for it during morning self-study tomorrow,” Fei Xinglan reluctantly said, his exhausted body instantly surrendering to the comfort of the bed, not wanting to move at all.

It was a math assignment, and Shen Mu had a rough idea of Fei Xinglan’s main difficulties. He decided to check if there were suitable reference materials for him to undergo some targeted training over the weekend.

As Fei Xinglan was writing, he suddenly felt a bit chilly and sneezed. He rubbed his nose and wondered, “I’m not even sick. Who’s talking about me?”

Shen Mu, the instigator of all this mischief, replied, “I don’t know.”

In the dormitory below theirs, there were Jin Yixiu and Xi Xiangyang.

The two of them had finished their homework early. Xi Xiangyang had already washed up and was playing games on his bed, while Jin Yixiu was still sitting at his desk, diligently studying.

Xi Xiangyang had grown accustomed to Jin Yixiu’s daily routine, but little did he know that the person he thought was still earnestly studying had long lost his focus today. What was the meaning behind that blurry image and today’s Shen Mu? What was going on?

“Oh my god, Yixiu, take a look at the school forum, ‘Shocking! The Unbreakable Bond between Class E’s Beauty Shen Mu and His Inseparable Best Friend.'” Xi Xiangyang saw the commotion in the group chat and opened the forum, completely taken aback.

Upon hearing that familiar name, Jin Yixiu took out his old phone, a model from several years ago. He opened the forum, and the first post he saw was that one… Jin Yixiu’s eyes narrowed as if there were swirling depths in his black pupils.

Bright lights illuminated the two boys huddled together. One of them held the other, eyes closed, gently patting their back. The other boy also had his eyes tightly shut, burying his head in the other’s shoulder, appearing dependent.

…

…

Jin Yixiu and Xi Xiangyang looked at the image, feeling inexplicably displeased.

********************

Chapter 15: Invitation

Xi Xiangyang, with a hint of jealousy he didn’t even realize, said, “What kind of image is it when two guys hug each other like that?”

Jin Yixiu, rare to agree with Xu Xiangyang’s words, frowned at the busy bodies at the comments and decided to exit the forum, no longer wanting to look. He got up, grabbed his clothes, and headed to the bathroom to prepare for a shower and sleep.

Xi Xiangyang also didn’t want to continue looking. Seeing a kitten cuddling up to someone else made him feel a twinge of sourness in his heart.

Meanwhile, the protagonists of the story, Shen Mu and Fei Xinglan, had already completed their tasks. After washing up, they lay in bed, preparing to get some extra sleep and recharge, completely unaware that they had become the talk of the forum.

Fei Xinglan had fallen asleep, but Shen Mu hadn’t yet. He lay in bed, thinking about the events of the day, feeling somewhat surreal. He had already become a new version of himself.

Gradually, Shen Mu drifted into slumber.

“Ding Ling Ling~”

The next day, a ringing sound pierced the morning silence, waking up Shen Mu and Fei Xinglan from their drowsiness. They turned off the alarm clock and went to the bathroom to wash their faces and wake themselves up.

After they were ready, the two of them headed outside.

They arrived at the cafeteria, planning to buy breakfast, but unexpectedly encountered the main characters again while queuing.

Shen Mu sighed, “What bad luck.”

However, Luo Yuan and Liang Feng seemed oblivious to the unpleasant expression on Shen Mu and Fei Xinglan’s faces. They cheerfully approached the two.

“Shen Mu, I was in the wrong before. To apologize, I’m inviting everyone to have a meal together after school this Friday,” Luo Yuan put on his signature fake smile and said to Shen Mu and Fei Xinglan.

Fei Xinglan was about to refuse, but Shen Mu grabbed his arm and said to Luo Yuan, “Got it, we’ll come.”

Although Fei Xinglan didn’t quite understand why Shen Mu agreed, he didn’t say anything more.

“We’ve delivered the message, so we’ll take our leave now,” Liang Feng said. He then turned around, his expression suddenly turning dark. So, Shen Mu still likes Luo Yuan, huh? Hmph, just you wait, I won’t let you succeed.

In a place unnoticed by the group, Xi Xiangyang was also buying breakfast. He overheard their conversation and pondered on it.

“Shen Mu, why did you agree? You’re not still holding onto that Luo Yuan, are you?” After they bought their breakfast and left the cafeteria, Fei Xinglan asked, puzzled.

Shen Mu shook his head, “No, it’s not like that. How could I be that foolish? I’m just going to see what they’re up to. Besides, it’s a good opportunity to see through their act.” Yeah right. If it weren’t for the task, I wouldn’t even bother with them.

Chapter 16: Murmurs

The two returned to the classroom and started eating their breakfast.

“Shen Mu, Fei Xinglan, your math homework,” the math class representative approached them. The class representatives had started collecting assignments and needed to tidy up before morning self-study began.

Shen Mu held a sauce-flavored pancake in his mouth and took out all their homework, intending to let the class representative take them directly.

“Hey, did you two know that you became popular on the forum yesterday?” The math class representative asked with curiosity.

What?

Shen Mu and Fei Xinglan had a bad feeling and quickly opened their phones. As expected, the top post was the one from yesterday with the picture of them hugging, filtered and all.

…

Shen Mu looked at Fei Xinglan, coincidentally, Fei Xinglan was also looking at him. The two exchanged a wordless glance.

For the first time, they felt that it would have been a wise choice if the teachers could collect phones during evening self-study.

Silence became the theme of the morning.

They were truly 24K pure brothers with an unbreakable bond!

—

Class A.

Xi Xiangyang walked into the classroom and saw Jin Yixiu already seated.

“Hey, Yixiu, you’re not eating breakfast?” Xi Xiangyang asked while sipping a bottle of soy milk.

Jin Yixiu shook his head, “Not hungry.”

At that moment, Luo Yuan walked over. “Xi Xiangyang, Jin Yixiu, I’m treating the classmates to a meal after school tomorrow. How about you guys join us?” Although he felt reluctant in his heart, and had a strong dislike for Jin Yixiu because had stolen all his limelight as soon as he transferred, he still invited him. In order to not let their classmates notice his hostility toward Jin Yixiu, he had to put on a show.

Jin Yixiu didn’t want to attend such an occasion, but unexpectedly, Xi Xiangyang preemptively said, “Sure! Don’t worry, Yixiu and I will be there.” He even grinned.

Luo Yuan frowned for a moment but quickly regained his composure. “Great. Looking forward to your presence,” he said before turning and leaving.

After Luo Yuan left, Jin Yixiu looked at Xi Xiangyang with an indifferent gaze and asked, “Reason?”

“Hehe, this morning, when I went to the cafeteria, I ran into Shen Mu and Fei Xinglan. Luo Yuan also invited them, apologizing and all. So, I thought it would be fun to go and see the show! Besides, I remember that Shen Mu said something about pursuing you,” Xi Xiangyang said with a mischievous smile.

Shen Mu is going too? Upon hearing this, Jin Yixiu glanced at Xi Xiangyang and said, “You’re bored.” Then he turned around and focused on his own tasks.

But Xi Xiangyang knew that Jin Yixiu had agreed!

Not bad, not bad. It seems like there will be some drama to watch on Friday. I can watch the show and also see the little kitty. What’s going on? Lately, I find Fei Xinglan from Class E more and more adorable.

“Achoo.”

“Achoo.”

Two sneezes sounded simultaneously.

Shen Mu and Fei Xinglan looked at each other. What’s going on?

“Who’s talking about me behind my back?” Fei Xinglan rubbed his nose and asked.
