You Boys Play Games Very Well

Chapter 45
Shan Zhu delivered breakfast as usual but Ling Meng’s bed was empty. He was a little surprised because Ling Meng didn’t have classes this morning. It didn’t make sense that Ling Meng would get up so early.

“MengMeng? Go to the sports ground and look for him. He’s running,” Huo LongGuo directed him in the right direction.

“Running?” It was raining really hard and the otaku was actually running in the morning?

“Isn’t the school sports meet coming up soon? He has to train.”

“I didn’t think that MengMeng would participate in the sports meet, what event?”

“Five kilometer long-distance race.”

Shan Zhu: (O_O)

Seeing the incredulous expression on Shan Zhu’s face, the roommate laughed loudly: “When we were freshmen, all of us who heard about it had the same reaction as you. Go and find him. Maybe he’s finished by now.”

There weren’t many people on the sports ground in this morning so Ling Meng wearing a goose-yellow tracksuit was very eye-catching. From a distance, Shan Zhu spotted his figure, which looked small against the broad track. It was hard to imagine that Ling Meng would actually participate in the long-distance race, which many people respected the most out of all the sports meet events.

The jogging Ling Meng turned around the bend and Shan Zhu subconsciously stepped back and stood in the shadow of a tree.

Ling Meng didn’t catch sight of Shan Zhu and ran straight past him. Shan Zhu watched from a distance until he finished after three more laps.

“Oh? When did you come?” Ling Meng looked in surprise at Shan Zhu as he walked up to him.

“When you started to the third-to-last lap.”

“Oh… I ran eight laps in total.” Ling Meng’s breathing was still not stable, but he became interested in the breakfast in his hand. “What’s for breakfast this morning, an omelet? Wonderful, I like to eat omelets.”

Ling Meng’s passion for food was also one of Shan Zhu’s motivations for insisting on bringing him breakfast. No matter what he bought, Ling Meng would sincerely say that I like XXX the most. It felt very worthwhile to treat him.

“You just finished running, cool down and then eat.” Shan Zhu didn’t give it to him; he carried it with him instead and joined Ling Meng on the sports ground to do stretching.

“By the way, how did you get here?” Ling Meng asked while stretching his leg.

“Your roommate said that you were preparing for the sports meet.”

“He told you that?” Ling Meng shifted his gaze and remembered something. He punched Shan Zhu’s chest. “It’s all your fault.”

“Blaming me again, why?”

“When would I take the initiative to practice? Obviously our counselor asked me to start running every morning from today until the start of the sports meet. I was originally planning to run starting about three days before the sports meet.”

“Your counselor also supervises the sports meet?”

“He made a surprise nighttime room check last night and happened to find the twelve condoms in my drawer. His old-fashioned mindset5; even college students should be able to manage falling in love, how can this be tolerated?”

Shan Zhu imagined the scene and inexplicably wanted to laugh.

“You still think it’s funny? I was dealing with it, but who knew that you would suddenly message me on Penguin and it was immediately caught by him.”

“What’s the problem with my Penguin jitter?” Shan Zhu suddenly thought that this counselor was too harsh. “On the broadcast, you suddenly said that there was an urgent situation. Since you weren’t answering back in WeChat, I tried jittering the window.”

This time Ling Meng was a bit guilty: “No, it’s because… I changed your nickname to Porn Anchor…”

“…hahahaha.”

“Don’t laugh!” Ling Meng grumbled at him. “Because of this, I was taken to the office by the counselor for a long lecture. I was told about the dangers of young people’s addiction to online porn. Wouldn’t you say that I’m unlucky every time I run into you, first in the case of the live broadcast and now again.”

“It’s really a bit pitiful. In order to compensate, starting tomorrow I’ll run with you.”

Ling Meng swept his gaze to the slippers on his feet and declined to comment.

“Rest assured, I definitely won’t wear these when running.”
