Chapter 116: King Bomb Combination!

Song Mountain.

After arriving at Song Mountain, the Special Students took iron shovels to dig soil and plant saplings, while the photography club members held cameras to capture the tree-planting scenes, uploading them to the forum and various major official social media websites.

At dusk, the mountain stream still held a faint glimmer of light, and the distant mountains were hidden in the shadows, like an ink painting brushed with a wolf-hair brush; the glow of the setting sun struggled in the twilight net, gradually fading away.......

The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is extreme, and campfires were lit at the campsite.

When the cars of Jin Shaoyu, Jing Du, and their group pulled up to the side of the mountain road and their tents were set up together, many people immediately chose to pitch their tents near them.

Jin Bei and Ming Tan were setting up a tent by the path, with two black off-road bags sitting at their feet, bulging inside; Jin Bei said, "Did you bring the things?"

Ming Tan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I brought them."

The flashlight shone on Jin Bei's jaw, and one could see the smile on his face: "Ming Tan, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. I went to such great lengths to create such a good opportunity for you; you surely won't let me down, right?"

Ming Tan: "Mm, don't worry."

"I understand."

Ling Wu had just taken out his tent and was half-squatting on the ground, preparing to start setting it up, when a pair of long, slender legs appeared before his eyes, followed by a hand with distinct knuckles reaching out; the person above his head said, "I'll help you."

He raised his eyes to see the handsome face of the youth nearby: "Shao Yu."

The tent in Ling Wu's hands was taken away, and he stood to the side watching Jin Shaoyu's busy figure; he leaned over to clear the stones and branches from the ground, took the tent out of the storage bag, and rolled up his sleeves, revealing powerful muscle lines; as he lowered his head slightly, the contour arc of his shoulders and neck was especially good-looking.

Afterward, he installed the support poles and secured the tent with fluid, practiced movements.

Someone in the distance whispered:

"Young Master Jin is actually helping Senior Ling Wu set up his tent himself, my god..... is this still that evil younger brother?"

"Even if I can't find a boyfriend like Young Master Jin, I'd be happy just to have a younger brother like this; he's too doting!"

"I'm going to set up my tent next to Senior Ling Wu."

Once the tent was set up, Jin Shaoyu clapped the dust off his hands, his tone devoid of emotional fluctuation: "Done."

As soon as he finished speaking, he left straight away, his retreating figure looking somewhat like he was fleeing in a panic, not even daring to look into Ling Wu's eyes.

【Is it because of what Yin Huaiyu said in the Rest Room yesterday that Jin Shaoyu is feeling so guilty? He didn't even dare to look at the second male lead just now.】

【You two should make up soon. Young Master Jin, actually, if you just apologize to the second male lead—or maybe you don't even need to apologize—the second male lead would forgive you. After all, in his eyes, you are his only younger brother.】

【Who understands this? Jin Shaoyu was observing from the side, hesitating for a long time before he dared to come over....... sobbing, enough! My heart aches for you two!】

【Begging for a tutorial on how to get these two to speak their minds!】

【The family bond line between these two is too tear-jerking.】

Yu Shixue sat leisurely by the campfire; as soon as he turned his head, he saw Jin Shaoyu walking back from the path, so he followed his direction with his gaze.

He saw Ling Wu lift the off-road bag and bend over to put things into the tent; his top lifted up with the movement, revealing a small patch of snow-white skin and the line of his waist and hips, the curves of his body outlined to perfection.....

Yu Shixue poked the campfire with the branch in his hand, his eyes dimming.

Can a man's skin be this white?

"Damn!"

Yin Huaiyu shifted his pant leg: "Are you trying to set the mountain on fire?"

Yu Shixue came back to his senses and noticed that the sparks flicked up by the branch had landed on Yin Huaiyu's pant leg; the high-end fabric with its beautiful texture was instantly burned with a hole.

He threw the branch away: "Isn't it just a pair of pants?"

"I'll compensate you."

Jin Shaoyu sat down next to Jing Du and, seeing the light from his phone reflecting on his glasses lenses, asked him with boredom: "Adu, I find it strange; we finally made it to Song Mountain to relax, and you're holding your phone the whole time—what's the meaning of this?"

"Oh?" Yin Huaiyu found it interesting: "What else could it be? The iron tree has blossomed."

"Waiting for news from which young lady?" Yu Shixue: "Aren't you about to get engaged to that person from the Wei Family?"

Jing Du exited the contacts interface and tucked his phone into his pocket; the thin moonlight spilled onto his face, and his eyes behind the thin lenses appeared bright and piercing, his whole person looking exceptionally dashing and suave.

He asked calmly: "Why must I be waiting for news from some other young lady? Why couldn't it be from my future marriage partner?"

Jin Shaoyu exposed him: "Cut the crap."

"Adu, don't you hate homosexuals? It's a miracle you didn't throw up when you saw Wei Ranxu. The sun just set in the west, tsk...... still waiting for his message?"

Yin Huaiyu: "Are you really planning to get engaged to that person from the Wei Family?"

"Although their family is the most suitable marriage partner, if you aren't willing, you can just refuse; that's better than seeing each other every day after marriage and playing your own games separately."

Jing Du was silent for a long while, looking at the deep, secluded path: "...... Anyway, the marriage alliance is just a transaction."

"I don't care."

Aristocratic families put interests above all else.

Everything else can be put aside.

Yu Shixue thought of something and said it out loud: "Eh, I remember clearly, Wei Ranxu likes you a lot, right? This marriage alliance might even be a pleasant surprise for him."

Yin Huaiyu's gaze swept over the two of them.

"You say he likes me?" Jing Du's Adam's apple bobbed, his index finger pushed up his glasses frame, and a cold sneer spilled from his lips: "Heh, how interesting."

A person like Jing Du has been greeted by the world's flowers and applause since birth; he has lived smoothly, standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid, receiving looks of envy, jealousy, or admiration from all sides.

It is too simple for him to distinguish the truth of affection.

Those obsessed gazes, without exception, all carried a sticky, demanding, and superficial disgust.

In Jing Du's mind, the youth's exquisite and beautiful face appeared again in a trance, yet he strangely did not feel disgusted.

【Jing Du certainly couldn't marry Wei Ranxu; he is Ming Tan's future man. Even if they got engaged, they would divorce. After all, only our Ming Tan is the salvation of the Campus F4; the villain is too ignorant to appreciate what's good and has already been kicked out of these ranks!】

【Jing Du must have noticed Ming Tan a long time ago.】

【Uh...... is it possible that Jing Du is waiting for the second male lead to add him as a friend? He keeps looking over at the second male lead, but the two just don't have any eye contact, though it seems the second male lead has already put this matter to the back of his mind.】

【Jing Du is suspected to be a joker; alright, now he can be paired with Shen Zhaojue from earlier to form a 'King Bomb' combination!】

【999!】

【666!】

【I'm looking forward to it a bit. I remember that in the original text the manga is adapted from, it was after the Tree Planting Charity Meeting that the relationship between Ming Tan and Jin Shaoyu warmed up. Is the harem-collecting segment I've been looking forward to most finally about to arrive?】
