“You go sleep slightly additional over there.” Mo Lingqiu pushed Jiang Chenming, who was holding him further tight, asking him to shift again into the darkish. 

Jiang Chenming didn’t hear, nonetheless hugging him tightly. As an alternative, he draped his legs over.

Mo Lingqiu’s physique stiffened and he lay there with out transferring.

“The 2 of us simply acquired collectively. Let me hug you,” Jiang Chenming stated, tone filled with happiness. 

Mo Lingqiu noticed his brilliant eyes and selected to compromise. Let him hug me, then; I received’t lose a bit of flesh anyway.

“Trainer Mo, the matter of our workforce supervisor right this moment… I haven’t defined it to you but.” Jiang Chenming thought that the explanation Mo Lingqiu had all of the sudden misplaced his mood earlier than was as a result of he may’ve been jealous of the basketball workforce’s Omega supervisor. The Omega had even particularly talked to him about it. Jiang Chenming felt the necessity to make clear. 

“…What?” Mo Lingqiu didn’t actually wish to hear. Each time the Omega was talked about, he would subconsciously examine himself to him. From appears to age, from persona to recognition, it was apparent that he was older and fewer in style. 

“He got here to me a while in the past and requested me to ask for forgiveness to you.” Jiang Chenming thought that Mo Lingqiu was getting upset with himself once more, so he raised his hand to clean the hair on the again of his head. “He stated that his angle wasn’t excellent when he met you final time, and that he doesn’t like me anymore.” 

Mo Lingqiu didn’t say something, however he actually wouldn’t be bothered by a a lot youthful scholar. Nevertheless, how might he merely say that he didn’t like Jiang Chenming like that? He’d in all probability simply swallowed down the bitterness. 

“Trainer Mo, our workforce supervisor was chosen yearly. In relation to skill, he’s fairly good. Nevertheless, I’ll positively concentrate sooner or later and attempt to preserve my distance from him, so…” 

“No want,” Mo Lingqiu interrupted. “I… belief you.”

Jiang Chenming’s coronary heart crammed with sweetness at his phrases. “My Trainer Mo is one of the best.”

Mo Lingqiu glared at him. “Sleep.”

Jiang Chenming moved nearer to Mo Lingqiu, dropped a kiss on his brow, after which peacefully closed his eyes. 

Later, the interior faculty basketball competitors proceeded in an orderly style. After greater than half a month of ‘battle’, the semi-finalists had been quickly determined. Jiang Chenming’s PE Division workforce was on the record in fact, whereas the three remaining groups had been from the Laptop Science, Chemistry, and Structure Departments. 

When Jiang Chenming noticed the record of groups, he calculated the possibilities of successful in his head. The impediment wasn’t huge, however it could be slightly troublesome to play in opposition to the Structure Division. 

College A’s Structure Division was comparatively well-known. Virtually all the scholars within the main had been prime college students, they usually didn’t lag behind in varied actions, particularly the basketball workforce, which was the image of the whole division. 

When Jiang Chenming was an undergraduate, he was previous rivals with the members of the Structure Division’s basketball workforce. Afterward, these gamers give up the workforce one after the opposite, graduated, and left the college. Jiang Chenming would then play in opposition to their barely completely different roster yearly, managing a slender win every year. 

Jiang Chenming didn’t care an excessive amount of about whichever workforce was drawn as his opponent, as a result of in the event that they didn’t run into the Structure Division’s workforce, they might have a excessive risk of getting into the ultimate. In the event that they met earlier than the ultimate, then they might simply have to start out taking part in. 

Because it turned out, God needed to save lots of one of the best for final. Jiang Chenming, because the consultant for the PE Division, drew tons and ended up selecting the Chemistry Division to play in opposition to. 

The semi-finals had been scheduled for December twentieth at 2pm, with each courts taking part in on the identical time. A whistleblower, a referee, and a supervisor had been assigned for every courtroom; it was a fairly sturdy lineup.

Mo Lingqiu had initially promised Jiang Chenming that he would watch the match, however, sadly, on December 18th, his mentor all of the sudden rushed to the emergency room. 

Mo Lingqiu’s mentor, Outdated Professor Cao, had been serving to him and infrequently giving him some pointers. Professor Cao was nonetheless single and had no youngsters. After he’d met Mo Lingqiu, he’d been elevating him as his personal son. 

Professor Cao had all the time had hypertension. Though it had considerably improved in recent times, his blood strain had all of the sudden spiked whereas he had been utilizing an excessive amount of effort to scrub his home, and he was consequently despatched to the emergency room. 

When Mo Lingqiu arrived on the hospital, his head was lined in sweat.

The physician came to visit and instructed him a bit in regards to the scenario, dictating that Professor Cao was to be hospitalized for just a few days; any additional particulars would rely on his restoration. 

Mo Lingqiu agreed and paid the invoice. Every thing took greater than an hour to complete. He then hurried into the ward to take care of Professor Cao. 

Professor Cao’s face was pale, however he didn’t act like a affected person in any respect. An IV needle had been inserted into his proper hand, and his left hand was nonetheless flipping by means of a heavy e-book. 

“Cease studying.” Mo Lingqiu frowned and reached for the e-book.

Professor Cao pulled the e-book in the direction of himself and prevented his hand. “I’ve nothing to do, sitting right here.” 

“You might be sick. It’s good to relaxation.” Mo Lingqiu checked out his white hair. He was already previous, and but he nonetheless didn’t deal with his physique. 

“Hai, sick, sick. Illness will all the time come.” Professor Cao sighed. “I’m already previous, it ought to’ve come.” 

“Completely not. I’ve requested you to not drink tea, however you drink just a few pots in a single sitting.” Mo Lingqiu felt actually helpless; he didn’t know if folks grew to become cussed after they acquired older. He had reminded Professor Cao to not all the time drink wealthy tea, however he hadn’t needed to hear. Consuming three pots of tea a day was nothing to him. 

“Cease. I wish to learn the e-book.” Professor Cao interrupted him and continued to bury his head within the e-book.

Mo Lingqiu was actually helpless. Prior to now six months, Professor Cao’s physique had clearly turn out to be worse. Even he, as an outsider, was anxious about his physique, however the particular person to whom it belonged was detached. 

Professor Cao learn two traces earlier than catching Mo Lingqiu off guard, all of the sudden asking, “How are you doing with that… Jiang baby?” 

“…How do you know?” Mo Lingqiu was stunned. Why did everybody find out about him and Jiang Chenming?

“Fan Nian got here to speak to me earlier and stated that you just’re in a relationship.” Professor Cao lastly put down the e-book. “What? You don’t wish to inform me about it? You assume I’m too previous to recollect?”

“Why would I believe that?” Mo Lingqiu anxiously requested. “It’s simply that our relationship wasn’t secure sufficient some time in the past…”

“What about lately?”

“It’s a lot better recently,” Mo Lingqiu replied, not noticing the joyful look on his personal face. 

After getting into right into a relationship with Jiang Chenming, Mo Lingqiu had utterly modified his thoughts about some issues. 

He used to really feel that he might dwell a great life alone, with an awesome profession and with out the affect of another particular person. Nevertheless, with Jiang Chenming’s involvement, there have been many issues that two folks might do collectively. Every time he encountered one thing sad, he didn’t want to fret about with the ability to communicate up or not; he might inform Jiang Chenming every part. 

Though Jiang Chenming was youthful, he had a mature perspective on loads of issues, and would typically make options that might make Mo Lingqiu enlightened. 

Although Mo Lingqiu normally held again, he might really feel that he’d lately turn out to be extra open-minded. 

Professor Cao gave him a significant look. “Good. That’s good for you.”

Mo Lingqiu’s temper grew to become fairly good together with his optimistic phrases. Nevertheless, being in a great temper was one factor and reminding Professor Cao to deal with his well being was one other. 

On the evening of the 18th, Mo Lingqiu cooked Professor Cao’s dinner himself at house and introduced it to the hospital. For the reason that semi-finals had been approaching, Jiang Chenming nonetheless hadn’t returned when Mo Lingqiu was cooking dinner. After Mo Lingqiu completed cooking, he left an additional portion on the lounge desk for him. 

At 9:00 pm, Mo Lingqiu helped Professor Cao end washing up. He helped the previous man again to mattress and ready to spend the evening on the couch subsequent to him.

Jiang Chenming occurred to name at that actual second, and, simply by listening to the tone of his voice, Mo Lingqiu might inform that he was in a great temper. 

“Trainer Mo, sorry, I got here again late.”

“I’m not at house.”

“En, I do know, but it surely’s nonetheless necessary to tell you.” Jiang Chenming smiled. His proper hand was stirring the already chilly porridge.

“Heat up the porridge your self.”

“Okay.” Jiang Chenming stated that, however, actually, he had already scooped up a spoonful of the chilly porridge and put it into his mouth.

The porridge had been sitting outdoors for some time. Not solely was it chilly, but it surely had additionally turn out to be very thick, and it was utterly incomparable to when it was freshly cooked.

Mo Lingqiu heard the sound by means of the telephone and solemnly requested, “Are you consuming once more with out warming it up?” 

He’d been caught over the telephone. Jiang Chenming wiped his mouth. “No. Ding. Did you hear it? It’s the sound of the microwave oven.” 

“…If it’s like that, I also can do it.” Who didn’t know tips on how to say ‘ding’? 

“Then, strive saying it.” Jiang Chenming laughed. He would seize the chance to tease Mo Lingqiu each time he acquired the possibility.

This time, Mo Lingqiu fell silent; he knew that he was being arrange.

“Trainer Mo, are you staying on the hospital right this moment?”

“En, I’m fearful.” Mo Lingqiu was actually fearful. Professor Cao was an ‘previous baby’, no less than in some methods. He wouldn’t be keen to hearken to the physician’s phrases. 

“Then bear in mind to take a great relaxation, despite the fact that it’s unlikely for you.” Jiang Chenming sighed. “Don’t fear. I suppose Professor Cao’s well being can be restored earlier than I even play within the semi-finals.”

“En.” Mo Lingqiu preferred listening to that.

Jiang Chenming talked with him for some time earlier than lastly ending the decision with a ‘good evening’.

On the nineteenth, the attending physician got here to take Professor Cao’s blood strain twice extra. Though it was lowering, it was nonetheless very excessive. 

“Keep just a few extra days. As you realize, the previous man is reluctant to hearken to our phrases.”

“Sure.” The medical doctors within the hospital had been previous acquaintances with Professor Cao, they usually all knew how his temperament was. Mo Lingqiu knew it even higher. 

Since Professor Cao needed to remain on the hospital for just a few extra days, Mo Lingqiu simply arrange a easy cot within the ward and stayed with him. 

On the afternoon of the twentieth, Jiang Chenming completed the semi-final recreation, successful by a margin of twenty-three factors and advancing to the ultimate. Their opponent could be the Structure Division. The outcome had been anticipated. The workforce shouted and needed to go have fun, however Jiang Chenming slipped away with an excuse. 

On the hospital, Mo Lingqiu requested numerous instances for Professor Cao to place down his e-book and relaxation. 

Whereas Professor Cao was being shameless and disobedient, somebody knocked on the hospital room door. 

Mo Lingqiu glanced at him. “I instructed you that the physician would are available in a second, however you continue to don’t imagine me. Now you possibly can look forward to him to nag you later.” 

Professor Cao shook his head. “Undoubtedly not a physician.”

Mo Lingqiu didn’t imagine him. He actually wanted somebody to reprimand Professor Cao, so he went to open the door with nice enthusiasm. Outdoors the ward, Jiang Chenming grinned, carrying loads of meals and a bouquet of flowers in his fingers. 

“Trainer Mo, it’s been just a few days.”

Mo Lingqiu froze. He heard Professor Cao on the mattress, softly say, “I instructed you it wasn’t a physician, proper? How are you going to not even acknowledge your personal boyfriend.” 

Listening to the latter half of the sentence, Mo Lingqiu’s face turned crimson. He then angrily pulled Jiang Chenming into the ward.
