How Could I Lose to Him

What Sui Houyu did not expect was that he would be standing outside, waiting for someone.

Of course, he was so bored he could also watch a farce.

 

That would be quite interesting.

 

 

In mid-August, summer vacation was about to pass.
The weather was utterly desolate.

 

When he woke up in the morning, there was a drizzle, and it was raining at that time.

 

The water on the ground has disappeared.

 

On the dry ground, it is hard to find a trace of wetness even in the shadows.
Everything exposed to the sun seems to be steaming, and even the air smells of melting asphalt.

 

The cicadas are hoarsely screaming as if this was a way to signal to the world that they have not been cooked yet, and their will was still strong.

 

Leaning on the railing, Houyu could feel the warmth of the railing through his clothes.

 

He looked down at the drink in his hand and held it with one hand.
He hooked the tab with his fingers.
He took a sip, looking at the buildings near him disinterestedly.

 

If he didn’t navigate it based on the map, he probably wouldn’t even know that there was such a place in this city.

 

To get to this place called Xiangjiaxiang, he actually needed to take the expressway to Linshi, get off the expressway, and drive for another half an hour.

 

It is basically a lane between the two cities.

 

Such a location can be regarded as one of the six districts of the city as if it is an isolated area, an independent place in the corner of the city.
He looked around, there were no particularly tall buildings here; most buildings here are no more than six or seven stories tall, the vehicles for the disabled are on the road.
The restaurants seem to belong to small stores, and most of them say [Home cooking].

 

The tourism industry is being developed in this neighborhood recently.
The environment is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and life can be considered comfortable and relaxed.

 

Overall it’s not bad, but one cannot be too sure about the night.

 

He talked to the owner of the hotel on the phone, and the owner said he was playing mahjong.
After that, he will come to pick him up and asked him to wait for a while.
This was the standard slow-paced life in small towns.

 

After hanging up the phone, he saw the notification of someone @-ing him on the top of the phone screen.
He clicked into the class group chat.
He saw that all the students in the class were swearing as if they were having a debate.

 

He scrolled up the chat log and saw that someone had reposted a screenshot of the chat, saying that the school group chat of Fenghua Private High School was openly dissing Houyu.

 

He clicked on the screenshot, it was nothing more than spreading that he was disgusted by cats and dogs and how he looked ugly and low quality.

 

Afterward, they trumpeted¹ how handsome their school bullies are and how good exercise is².
Like the pride of heaven, the school bullies have also become “male gods.” There are also girls who are worried and fear that Hou Yu will be troubled by their school tyrants when school starts.

 

[1] Trumpeting basically means to loudly boast about stuff

[2] I think it's kinda talking about how Hou Yu is thin (?), and that's why physical education/exercise is important

 

He turned it off after a quick glance.

 

 

Sui Houyu’s high school suddenly merged with another high school to improve itself, and the students from the two schools will go to school together after the beginning of the term.

 

Both sides are discussing, and there are even people who have mixed into the other school group chat as spies.

 

It can be seen that they are really free this summer vacation.

 

Houyu started typing in the group to answer: [In a sense, it can be said that their evaluation of me can be considered objective.]

 

Ran Shu: [The face is disgusting? I’m afraid that they don’t know what a country’s glory is³.]

 

[3] The sentence in the raws didn't make much sense in English so I changed it to the closest possible equivalent I could think of

 

Former Squad Leader: [Warning for usage of dangerous adjectives.]

 

Ran Shu: [I’m going now… I don’t want to kneel, I just feel my knees are going soft.]

After, Houyu chuckled ignorantly as he put the phone back in his pocket.

 

While he continued to wait, he happened to see two people making a scene.

 

There was a girl not far from Sui Houyu, who just came from the convenience store.

 

The girl is tall, had her hair in a ponytail, and was wearing a simple T-shirt and denim shorts.
The skin tone is wheatish and looks very beautiful.

 

First, a gangster came to flirt with the girl.

 

He said: “Meimei⁴, add a WeChat account to talk to me.”

 

The girl answered seriously: “Go away.”

 

[4] Means 'little sister' literally, also used as a polite way of addressing a younger girl even without blood relation

 

Then, the gangster started to behave harshly with the girl, reaching out and pulling her arm, as if to take her away.

 

As soon as the two showed signs of quarreling, a boy hero rushed to save the world, shouting loudly: “Remove your hand!”

 

As those two were fighting, they were stunned to hear Houyu laugh.

 

The gangster gave Sui Houyu an angry look, seeming to warn him not to be nosy.

 

Following his cooperation, Houyu dragged his suitcase to the side and completely ignored them, making room for them so as to not be affected and allowed them to continue.

 

Because of the sound of luggage being dragged, the girl looked up at Houyu.

 

Just a glance and the girl’s eyes were not willing to move away from Sui Houyu.

 

Sui Houyu can be called a pretty boy, simply as if he came out of a drawing.
Mainly a shoujo⁵ comic, because he looked like the male lead in those genres.

 

[5] Shoujo is a genre of comics and shows that is generally directed towards females (mainly contains romance and fantasy)

 

His eyebrows are beautiful, and even a little too exquisite.
At 183 centimeters in height, he has a beauty that will bewitch⁶ the country and its people. His hair is jet-black with natural curls, and his heavy and thick hair makes his face smaller.

 

[6] It was originally written 'harm' but in this context, 'bewitch' makes more sense

 

A pair of thick eyebrows, eyes reflecting water, the thick eyelashes that echo the volume of his hair.
The bridge of the nose is tall but not too excessive, the tip of the nose is small and the lips are small and pink, and there is also a playful smile on the corners of his mouth.

 

The girl looked in the direction of Sui Houyu for a long time.

 

The person who came to save the girl and the gangster fought for a long time.

 

The girl only saw Houyu and didn’t want to see the two gangsters.

 

Although the scene is entertaining, there is no audience.

 

When the rescuer came to talk to the girl, the girl looked back at him.

 

“Are you okay?” The rescuer asked questions while standing in front of the girl.

 

This girl has seen Sui Houyu first and then this one.
There is somewhat a gap between them.

 

This little brother can be regarded as skeletal thin and looks different from ordinary people.
What should one say about his facial features?

 

Forcibly using idioms, it can only be described as “very different from the norm.”

 

His eyes are a bit different in size, and the eyelids are still single, but the larger eye has a double.
The distance between the eyes is somewhat wide, the nose is good, and the mouth is normal, but they don’t look good when combined.

 

These five senses really insist on their own opinions, and no one accepts others.

 

The girl replied casually: “I’m okay.”

The rescuer continued to follow up: “I’m afraid that the gangster will harass you again, where are you going, shall I see you off?”

 

The girl was obviously unwilling.
After thinking about it, she shook her head and refused and walked towards Sui Hou Yu: “Brother, can you send me home? I was just harassed and I am a little scared.”

 

What was this transfer of one person to another?

 

This is called moving naturally and receiving beautifully.

 

Following Houyu squeezed the drink can that had just been emptied, threw it into the trash can accurately, and replied casually: “Hey, who is your brother?”

 

He doesn’t like the name elder brother very much.
He always found things like that strange.

 

“Sorry, are you a younger brother?” The girl would still be wrong.
Following his ignorance, Houyu took some chewing gum from his pocket, tossed out two pieces, and stuffed them into his mouth.

 

The girl’s gaze focused on his side profile, she subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and continued to ask, “Are you waiting for someone?”

 

Looking at Houyu’s side profile, he has a beautiful curve of the bridge of his nose and jawline.
When he lowers his head, his fluffy hair hangs down, resting on his forehead, curling just right.

 

This kind of stunning beauty is not common in real life.
After all, science and technology have not yet released the ability to add beauty filters inside human eyes⁷.

 

[7] This means the filter inside human eyes that makes everyone look beautiful

 

After Houyu responded vaguely and found out that the homeowner of the hotel in WeChat had sent real-time location sharing.
After opening it, he could see that the host was walking towards him.
