What are these predatory words

Yu Baizhou stared at the “good night” sent by He Yan, taking a while to collect himself.

He Yan wished him a good night.

He Yan actually took the initiative to say good night to him!

Behind the bedroom door, Yu Chen’s voice came through. “Turn off your lights and hurry to bed.”

Yu Baizhou quickly turned off the bedside lights and, hugging his phone, climbed into his bed.

He replayed the scene of receiving the good night He Yan had sent to him… Ahhhhh, this was considered a milestone-worthy moment. In a very good mood, he made a post to his circle of friends——”Super happy, I think I can I live for at least thirty years longer.”

The accompanying photo was a “good night”.

On the other side, He Yan was still awake. When he saw the post in his friend circle, he couldn’t help but laugh lightly.

It was just a good night. With such a small amount of sweetness, you can be this happy?

Behind him, Pan Yi suddenly hugged He Yan’s back, and muttered, “My Ge is such a splendid beauty.”

The smile on He Yan’s face faded. With a disgusted look, shoved Pan Yi’s hands away from his body and pushed the other aside.

Pan Yi rolled over on the sofa, face planted into the material. In his dreams, he suddenly felt like it was a bit hard to breathe.

The next morning, Yu Baizhou was woken up at an early time. After they finished with the last of the preparations, the family set off to the horse farm over at Yunhe Bay.

At first, Yu Baizhou was only told that they were going fishing, and he wasn’t made aware of a horse-riding program. When he laid his eyes on the vast horse farm, his entire person was confused into a shock.

He knew that the original owner was not only extremely capable in the arts, but even horse-riding was in his top ten most powerful talents. But, when it came to him… He doesn’t know how!

The last time he rode a horse was when he was still a young boy. His mother had taken him to an amusement park and placed him on a carousel.

A wooden horse and a real horse, there was quite a difference.

No, the difference is huge!

After they arrived at the horse farm, they were taken to the reception area to rest. Yu Baizhou sat on a chair and panicked. He tried to comfort himself. It was going to be fine. Besides, when the time came, he can just excuse himself by saying his body was feeling under the weather. There was no need to actually ride a horse.

After a while, Pan Yiming came with his wife and son. Not only did he bring his wife and son, but there was also an extra person.

When Yu Baizhou saw the boy standing next to Pan Yi, he almost stopped breathing. The boy was nearly 190cm tall, hair trimmed in a way that made him look energetic and sharp. The eyes underneath his thick eyebrows shone like stars but retained a bit of coldness. The shape of the straight nose bridge that led to pink pale lips was super good-looking and when he leaned back, the exposed jawline was smooth and attractive. No matter which angle you looked at him, there were absolutely no dead ends.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that among the men and women Yu Baizhou has seen in his nearly 19 years of living, this person was the best-looking one!

It’s just…why did he look so familiar?

Pan Yiming, after shaking hands with Yu Chen, introduced them to his family. He first introduced his wife, and then began to introduce the boys. “This is my dog son*, Pan Yi. You should have already met him before at a party. The other one is the friend of my dog son, He Yan.”

[T/N: “犬子” dog son, an insulting way to address one’s son]

Hearing the other person’s name, Yu Baizhou almost couldn’t stand straight.

Holy shit!! It turned out to be He Yan!!

He had just thought that this person was a bit familiar. Looking closely, weren’t those pair of dark eyes He Yan’s most defining features?! 

Pan Yi politely greeted Yu Chen and Fu Xia, and He Yan followed up with his own greeting.

Yu Baizhou was still looking at He Yan in horror. After the latter finished speaking to Yu Baizhou’s parents, he lifted his head, and their eyes happened to meet suddenly. Yu Baizhou nervously moved his gaze away, embarrassed.

…Wait. Why should he be embarrassed?? Just because He Yan looked very attractive?

Thinking this, he moved his gaze back again, but He Yan had already looked away.

Yu Baizhou stared at the person opposite him and couldn’t help but say in his heart, “Ahhh! He is really attractive, ah! How is it possible to have such a perfect person underneath the heavens!!”

He was so attractive that Yu Baizhou wanted to cry.

The author was not lying, He Yan’s appearance could really kill someone!

The book mentioned the reason why He Yan didn’t like to show his face. It because He Yan was often harassed due to this face when he was a child. Regardless of men or women, and not only children but also adults, his daily life was often disturbed, and he was exhausted from facing these people. Since then, he had grown out bangs and wore old-fashioned glasses to hide his face, successfully turning away those comments of harassment.

However, he didn’t know why He Yan was suddenly willing to show his face again… Oh right, he remembered 008 had told him that his transmigration broke the balance of space energy, and everything was likely to change its course due to his appearance. Then, it was probably because of this.

He recalled how He Yan had been scolded and called ugly in the school forum, but now that he thought about it, if He Yan exposed his face later on, he would definitely slap the face of everyone in school.

Yu Baizhou kept staring at He Yan until Yu Chen shouted at him, finally shifting his gaze away from He Yan’s face. Yu Chen told him to greet Pan Yiming, to which he quickly said a hello, returning from his previous daze.

A few metres away, Pan Yi approached He Yan and quietly asked, “Yan-ge, why are your ears so red?”

He Yan replied in a low voice, “…Go away.”

He Yan didn’t expect for Yu Baizhou to come today, let alone expect for Yu Baizhou to stare at him so straightforwardly.

The weather was good today. After exchanging a few polite greetings, the two families began to talk about today’s planned activities. When they went to pick a horse, Yu Baizhou, who originally wanted to pretend to feel ill to get out of it, had just placed his hands over his stomach when he was interrupted by Pan Yiming asking if He Yan had ever ridden a horse.

While elders are talking, children shouldn’t intervene.

He Yan humbly answered, “I know a little.”

Pan Yi thought inwardly, you liar, pretending as if you don’t know who won the equestrian championship last year.

After Pan Yiming heard his reply, he looked at Pan Yi, probably wanting his son to teach He Yan a little. However, Yu Chen spoke up first. “Horse riding is Yu Baizhou’s specialty. Yu Baizhou, we’ll entrust He Yan to you later, take him along.”

Yu Baizhou* was shocked still. No, he did not intend to ride a horse!

[T/N: raws said Yu Chen, but that’s probably a typo]

Yu Baizhou turned his head around, meeting He Yan’s brown eyes. The latter offered him a polite smile. “Please advise me?”

Yu Baizhou: “…”

Okay, he can only ride the tiger* now.

[T/N: “骑虎难下” used before; someone who is in a difficult situation has no choice but to go through with it]

Fortunately, although he had never ridden a horse…he understood a little. Even though He Yan said that he knew a little, Yu Baizhou felt that his understanding should be even less than his own, so to teach He Yan, who was an amateur even more than him, should still be okay.

Thinking about it this way, Yu Baizhou felt that the sweat on his forehead was less intense.

After changing into his equestrian clothing, Yu Baizhou and Fu Xia chatted for a while. When he turned his head, he happened to see He Yan walking out of the changing rooms in his riding wear.

The close-fitting and elegant vest emphasised He Yan’s wide shoulders and narrow waist. His long legs that were fitted into the riding boots were also very eye-catching. Matched with the flawless face, Yu Baizhou was once again dumbfounded.

He Yan buttoned the cuffs of his shirt and raised his eyes, coincidentally meeting Yu Baizhou’s gaze. He froze for half a second, then lightly nodded in Yu Baizhou’s direction.

Fu Xia looked at He Yan, then at his son, and asked, “Do you two know each other?”

Yu Baizhou pulled himself away from his thoughts and nodded. “En, we’re in the same class.”

Fu Xia folded his arms and observed He Yan, eyes holding a meaningful shine.

When they went to choose a horse, the workers introduced them one by one.

Yu Baizhou stopped halfway, looking in the pen at a pony that was shorter than himself——I want.

Yu Chen pointed at a tall one. “Yu Baizhou, you want this one.”

Yu Baizhou stared up at much-taller-than-himself Ferghana horse: “…”

What can Yu Baizhou say; he was a boy of nearly 1.8 metres, could he actually get away with riding the cute and loveable Dwarf horse? Of course not. So, in the end, he still asked for the much-taller-than-himself horse.

On the open farm, the coach gave them a few simple explanations for riding. After listening, Yu Baizhou looked at He Yan next to him and felt that he had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the amateur. So, he waited for the coach to leave and, taking on the posture of an experienced senior, began to teach again.

“Now, you must be very careful when mounting the horse. First, you must lift yourself up onto the left stirrup, then…”

Although Yu Baizhou’s physical strength was rather weak, his memory was outstanding.

Yu Baizhou repeated the entire lecture again, asking He Yan, “Do you get it? “

He Yan’s eyes showed just a hint of a smile. “En.”

Yu Baizhou patted He Yan’s shoulder with a sense of accomplishment. “As long as you get it, it’ll be fine. If you have any questions later, you can ask me at any time.”

He Yan replied, “Okay.”

Although Pan Yi had originally complained about how Yu Baizhou had showed up instead of a beautiful girl, after seeing Yu Baizhou’s proud appearance when He Yan had been successfully ‘taught’, he became speechless and developed an urge to press Yu Baizhou’s face into the ground and scrub him around.

Who needs you to teach?

When it comes to equestrianism, He Yan surpasses everyone here.

Once it came to actually ride the horse, Yu Baizhou covered his face in regret. Earlier on, he really shouldn’t have agreed to mount a horse, he should’ve just continued to pretend he had a stomachache.

Because this was too damn embarrassing!

Everyone was running around wildly, and he was­­——slowly trotting behind near the end.

Beside him, He Yan’s voice floated over. “Do you feel unwell? Would you like to take a break?”

Oh, Yu Baizhou only just remembered, there was a novice next to him.

Suddenly, he felt that it wasn’t all that embarrassing.

No, it was still embarrassing. His character design was meant to be a veteran.

Yu Baizhou wanted to cry without tears.

Worried about He Yan misunderstanding him, he pretended to explain to He Yan, “In fact, I usually ride faster than this. It’s just that, I feel a bit under the weather today.”

He Yan looked at Yu Baizhou’s stubborn face. “En.”

He Yan turned his eyes to the sun above them. “Today’s weather is very hot, and I also feel slightly unwell.” He asked Yu Baizhou, “Do you want to rest for a while with me?”

Yu Baizhou heard his words, eyes becoming visibly brighter. “Okay!”

After riding at the front of the group for half a day, Pan Yi realised that Yu Baizhou still kept his original turtle-like speed.

What ‘horse riding is his specialty’? This was all fake.

Because of that happened in He Yan’s previous life, Pan Yi had never held any good feelings for Yu Baizhou. Now that he had unexpectedly found a weakness, he must give Yu Baizhou a hard time about it.

He turned back and prepared himself for a fight but found that Yu Baizhou’s original position was empty.

Pan Yi was lost. “Where are the people?”

His family’s Yan-ge also disappeared.

In the outdoor lounge, Yu Baizhou took a large bite of ice cream. The rich and milky fragrance exploded in his mouth, and the treat was flavourful and refreshingly cold. It was too great!

With ice cream in his mouth, he mumbled to He Yan next to him, “Are you really not eating? It’s very delicious.”

He Yan looked at Yu Baizhou, whose cheeks were rounded from the ice cream, thinking that it was a little cute. He shook his head.

The last time he ate ice cream was more than ten years ago.

Since He Yan chose not to eat, Yu Baizhou continued to eat alone. He quickly finished his first one, and unwrapped the second ice cream, which was strawberry flavoured. He looked out at the horse farm that was not far away, and said, “I thought I would have to wait until the start of school to see you again, but I didn’t expect to be able to see you today.” 

He Yan followed his gaze. “En.”

Yu Baizhou turned his head to He Yan, and said with a smile, “I’m very happy.”

Faced with Yu Baizhou’s wide grin, He Yan’s eyes flickered for a moment, and his heart seemed to be very lightly hit by something unknown.

Yu Baizhou kept his smile and curiously asked, “But, since when did you and Pan Yi know each other?”

According to the plot, the two should’ve only met each other in university.

He Yan withdrew his gaze. “During the holiday.”

He Yan made up a story for his and Pan Yi’s meeting, saying that it was Pan Yi who had helped him.

Yu Baizhou nodded after listening.

Judging from the current situation, Pan Yi had helped He Yan, and he also brought He Yan along to this family gathering. There was no doubt that the relationship between the two was definitely very strong.

His original plan was to be He Yan’s only close friend, to help solve He Yan’s problems, so that He Yan’s impression of him can improve from how it was initially. But, now that Pan Yi had suddenly appeared and became his rival, this made completing his plan quite difficult.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want He Yan to have any other friends besides him. It’s just that, right now was a very advantageous period for him to brush up on goodwill. If Pan Yi’s appearance causes his goodwill value to be halved, it will be very troublesome.

But since it had already come to this, and because he wasn’t childish enough to pull the two apart, then…

Yu Baizhou made up his mind. He must be better to He Yan than Pan Yi.

…

In the evening, the entire scenery of Yunhe Bay was shrouded in the sunset, and the mountains and rivers were all glowing with an orange tinge.

They shifted their location to be by the lake. The adults fished while the children set up their tents. Their plan was to camp on this plot for the night.

Yu Baizhou was just in the middle of putting up his tent when he heard Pan Yi suddenly scream, “Ahhhhhhh!”

He and the adults heard the exclamation and came over, only to find that Pan Yi had accidentally broke one of the tents. It was the one prepared for He Yan.

The adults discussed the countermeasures. Yu Chen told them that he asked for someone to be sent over, and that they would arrive before the sky became dark.

He Yan thanked Yu Chen and said, “It’s okay, I can make do with someone.”

Yu Baizhou heard this exchange. Make do with someone? Make do with whom?

If He Yan was willing to make do with Pan Yi, and was also willing to make do with Yu Baizhou, then…he should take this chance to ‘make do’!

So, in front of all elders, Yu Baizhou recommended, “You can make do with me, ba!”

Hearing him, He Yan and Pan Yi were both stunned.

Pan Yi said, unhappily, “Hey! If Yan…He Yan needs to make do with someone, then he should still make do with me, why would he make do with you?”

[T/N: yes, “凑合”/make do was used a total of 12 times…]

Yu Baizhou raised his chin. “He Yan and I are in the same classroom, and we even have the relationship of back and front desk classmates.”

Pan Yi was initially unhappy with Yu Baizhou, and was even more so due to this matter, but Yu Baizhou was unwilling to back down.

The parents let go of the problem after seeing this. It didn’t matter who lived with who, since there was already a solution.

Even when the parents had left, Pan Yi and Yu Baizhou were still fighting.

Finally, Pan Yi said with an obvious bad mood, “Then, let’s have He Yan choose himself, okay?”

Yu Baizhou nodded. “Okay.”

Pan Yi looked at He Yan. “Yan-ge, you choose.”

After saying this, Pan Yi turned away, fuming.

Faced with this kindergarten-like multiple choice question, He Yan felt like he had a bit of a headache.

Yu Baizhou stood on the right side of He Yan. He took a glance at the fuming Pan Yi, and while Pan Yi was not paying attention, he stealthily took small steps to be closer to He Yan.

Just as when He Yan was considering to just go to a nearby hotel for that one night, he suddenly found his right arm being gently pressed by someone. Before he could turn his head, his arm was pulled down, and his ear was brushed by a warm breath.

Yu Baizhou slightly lifted himself up on his toes, bringing his mouth close to He Yan’s face, and spoke in a soft voice that drifted into He Yan’s ear, “I want to sleep with you.”
