Chapter 36 - Second stalk.

Thank you for the Ko-Fis, Kenny_Cain!

Indeed, Kang Shengzhe had just woken up.

For Kang Shengzhe, it was normal to sleep until eleven in the morning, to say nothing if he went to sleep when it was dawn and four o’ clock. Despite opening his eyes just a moment ago, dazed, he immediately returned a morning salutation to [Little Angel Liang Liang] when he saw his message on his phone.

Before he even finished typing, Kang Shengzhe yawned, still feeling sleepy. His sleep had always been long, but he slept too late last night.

Last night, after adding [Little Angel Liang Liang] on WeChat, Kang Shengzhe was extremely excited. Initially, he had been worried about You Liangxing, but that had all changed into excitement when You Liangxing gave him his WeChat name. The pleasant surprise coming out of nowhere made him let go of himself and forsake his beloved biological clock.

You Liangxing’s WeChat name was【Righteous】. When he was adding his name as a friend, he did not know why but Kang Shengzhe was not repulsed by it in the slightest.

His in-game name was【Little Angel Liang Liang】and his WeChat name was【Righteous】— the contrast was vast, but there was not one moment where Kang Shengzhe had doubted that he added the wrong person.

Kang Shengzhe had a feeling that it had to be him.

It was a subtle thing, but Kang Shengzhe’s intuition had always been very accurate. After hanging out with him every day in the game, the feeling that You Liangxing gave him was very similar to his WeChat name. He waited, and not long after, [Little Angel Liang Liang] agreed to his request.

The time was late, so they only exchanged a few sentences. After saying goodbye to each other, Kang Shengzhe did not hesitate to press on his WeChat Moments.

[Little Angel Liang Liang] did not have much content in his Moments, and the most recent one was a photo of the scenery at a place in the Imperial Capital. For the most part, the photo was captured in a clean and cold style, and like his WeChat name, it was quite a marvel that his different approaches could lead to the equally satisfactory results.

Decisively, Kang Shengzhe liked the photo.

Immediately afterwards, he flipped to another, and the Moment dated back to more than two months ago. Although it was not a picture of the scenery, it had nothing to do with his daily life either. Instead, it was a homepage for mathematics academic thesis papers.

There was no caption but it was evident that the results displayed in the image belonged to the owner himself. Kang Shengzhe was a liberal arts student. While he could not understand the contents, he could still see the rigour in the piece of writing. Once more, Kang Shengzhe liked it.

Flipping again, this time it was a screenshot of an English transcript. In the beginning, Kang Shengzhe thought it was either a English Level 4 or English Level 6 paper from University since the other party was a university student. However, when he scrutinised it properly, he suddenly noticed that that the result slip’s contents was not by the hundreds, but it was his ranking position instead.

It was only then that Kang Shengzhe realised it was an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) transcript. He lowered his head again to look at the results. It was only a single digit, and it was sufficient to regard his competitors with disdain. Kang Shengzhe stiffened, pausing for a bit before he liked it.

As he worked his way down, Kang Shengzhe liked every post he saw. The Moments for [Little Angel Liang Liang] did not have a trace of his day-to-day trivialities, and the things he shared was an interim record of his own achievements. His life was very orderly, taken one step after another, and it was apparent that that he was very self-disciplined.

Kang Shengzhe could not help but wonder: This sort of self-disciplined person, what was he like in life?

As he was pondering, the other party responded to the morning salutation that he had previously sent out.

— ..... Just woke up?

Just then, Kang Shengzhe noticed the timestamp for You Liangxing’s greeting. Six in the morning. Unlike him, You Liangxing only slept for two hours. At that moment, the one who faltered became Kang Shengzhe instead.

Surprised, Kang Shengzhe said: — Why did you get up so early?

You Liangxing replied: — Morning run.

Morning run. Now that was a far-fetched concept in Kang Shengzhe’s life. He typed: — You’re running even though you’re outside?

You Liangxing: — Habit.

Kang Shengzhe was tall in stature and he was born with good genes. Even though he had a lazy personality and he disliked exercising, the excellent genes he inherited ensured that there were no chinks in his in his armour when it came to his external appearances. As for the exercising that You Liangxing mentioned, he usually avoided it. But this time around, he asked with sudden keenness: — How long did you run for?

You Liangxing: — Forty minutes.

Forty minutes. Turning his body, Kang Shengzhe lied on his stomach and propped up his head up before he replied: — Aren’t you tired?

You Liangxing: — Warm up, not tired.

The forty minutes he spent running in the morning was for warming up. If that was the case, what was he warming up for? Kang Shengzhe was extremely curious so he asked. You Liangxing followed with his reply: — Boxing.

Boxing?

Kang Shengzhe was very surprised. The results showcased in his Moments were already excellent. Other than being an achiever in his academics, he did boxing as well?

Furthermore...

He did not know why but when Kang Shengzhe heard the name of the sport, he suddenly recalled their first meeting where he had heard that sweet and soft voice. Boxing and a strong fit of muscles were inseparable in his mind, so was [Little Angel Liang Liang]... a robust man with a loli voice?

Before he could think further, Kang Shengzhe laughed at himself. Previously, he had thought that the other party was a girl, and now that he became cognizant of the sharp contrast between the past and present, it really made him want to laugh.

Kang Shengzhe said: — I don’t exercise much, and I have a work and rest cycle of a student. When it’s holidays, I use the time to sleep.

The word ‘student’ became You Liangxing’s focal point. When he heard Kang Shengzhe say that he had to work at night a while back, he could not ascertain how old [don’t want to move] was. However, with the confirmation that he was a student, You Liangxing now had a rough idea of his age.

Since he was a student, his age should not be too old.

You Liangxing thought of Liang Chulin and could not help but say: — If you exercise too little, you can’t grow taller.

[don’t want to move] replied with a〖Kneeling on both knees〗 expression.

You Liangxing didn’t quite get it, but he did not have the time to pay attention to it. Because in the next second, the other party sent over a new message.

[don’t want to move]: –【Picture】

It was a picture taken on the bed, and it was rather empty. The only items in view were dark blue sheets and half-white pillows. The simple colour scheme seemed to lure people to want to continue sleeping.

[don’t want to move]: — don’t want to get out of bed.
