I Hid You Away Again and Again

When the high school students had to choose between science and humanities, Xu Chen saw Chen Muyang choose science. Leaning back casually in his chair, he asked, "Chen Muyang, you're choosing science?"

Chen Muyang nodded.

Xu Chen leaned closer and teasingly asked, "Hey, are you choosing science because you still want to sit with me?"

Chen Muyang's ears immediately turned red. He stammered, "N-no. It has nothing to do with you."

Maybe Xu Chen had been too annoying, or maybe the heavens took pity on him: Chen Muyang wasn't placed in the same class as Xu Chen.

At their high school reunion, everyone had nearly forgotten Chen Muyang existed. When they learned that the golden boy Xu Chen had once had a thing with him, they were so curious that they urged Xu Chen to call Chen Muyang.

Xu Chen called and cleared his throat. "It's me."

There was silence on the other end for a moment.

A few seconds later, a polite, courteous voice replied, "Sorry, who is this?"

Everyone in the private room exchanged glances before bursting into laughter and whistles.

Xu Chen: "..."
