I Pretend to Be Good, You Pretend to Be Pure

CH 3

Default Dyslexic Roboto Lora

onest, the two of them, ultimately, ended up eating until they were full of food.
After their meal, the two people, whose stomachs were so full it felt like food was all they could think about, swayed and wobbled their way back to the dorms.

It was only then that An Youxi realised – Ran Ningmu actually lived so close to him, just across the hall.
Perhaps because the underclassman was out and about from dawn til dusk and his times didn’t match up to An Youxi’s, was the reason why, despite the fact that it had been several days since the start of the term, the two of them hadn’t encountered each other even once.

An Youxi naturally felt a bit upset – if he could have gotten out of bed earlier, maybe he would have become familiar with Ran Ningmu as far back as the beginning of the term ne.
But after his upset passed, he more so felt secretly delighted.

‘One step closer to the male god, so happy [12]!’

Ran Ningmu stared at An Youxi’s face.
“Senior, if there’s nothing else, then I’ll go back?”

Although he said that, his feet stayed welded to the ground and he didn’t move, no matter how one looked at it, nothing about his appearance suggested he wanted to go back at all.

“Wait a second, there is something else,” An Youxi stopped Ran Ningmu, who didn’t actually want to go at all, and his eyes nervously darted sideways for a moment. “You….Do you have any dinner plans?”

Ran Ningmu answered very quickly: “I do not!”

“That’s wonderful,” An Youxi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ran Ningmu, his beautiful peach-blossom eyes curving into crescents.
“Let me treat you to dinner tonight ba, this time you definitely can’t snatch it from me.”

Ran Ningmu was momentarily shaken, the knot in his throat rolling suspiciously [13] , before laughing, “Then this time senior should remember to bring his meal card oh.”

When he said this, he lowered his head slightly so that his lips were right next to An Youxi’s ear.
An Youxi even had the feeling that the slight air flowed warmly and gently entered his ear.
The end tone was coquettishly raised giving off a teasing feeling.

‘Maybe, it’s my misconception ba.
’

“I know la,” An Youxi blushed lightly and gently pushed him, “You hurry back to rest, there’s more military training in the afternoon ne.”

‘He is such a pure person, was it possible for him to deliberately tease me in such a way ne? He must just want to remind me to remember to bring my meal card, nothing more.’

Ran Ningmu turned his head back as he walked: “Will you come back to continue taking photos in the afternoon?”

An Youxi: “I will, I will, you hurry and go back ba, we will see each other in the afternoon.”

Ran Ningmu: “See you in the afternoon.”

An Youxi smiled lightly as he stood on the landing, quietly watching Ran Ningmu’s figure slowly disappear into the opposite hallway three steps at a time only turning his head around when Ran Ningmu couldn’t be seen anymore.
As soon as An Youxi turned around, he came face to face with five or six heads poking out of the dormitory building behind him.

Those heads met An Youxi’s eyes and, just like moles encountering a whacking hammer, shrank back with a swoosh.

An Youxi: “……”

What kind of ghost was this? [14]

An Youxi climbed up the stairs in a daze, he didn’t expect that as soon as he opened the door, his roommate would approach to point at him, overflowing with joy: “Hahahahaha, Pomelo, what the hell were you and that underclasman doing in the canteen ah? Do you actually intend to make me laugh to death to inherit my CET-6 [15] sample papers?”

An Youxi was rendered completely speechless.

“You hurry and take a look at the forum ba! The post has been on top of the homepage for half an hour!”

An Youxi hurriedly opened the forum.

Sure enough, it was as his roommate said – on top of the homepage, the names of him and Ran Ningmu shone brightly.
Over a hundred floors [16] had already been discussed, red hot [17] as if people were getting married [18], it all looked very festive.

Title: At noon, I had the honour of eating at the same table as AYX and RNM in the 3rd canteen, and I just want to ask these two school grasses when did they get together? This is not possible after only 2-3 days of school term? AYX put his hands onto him a bit too fast ba?? Can you or can you not [19] leave a chance for the rest of us brothers and sisters to eat out with somebody [20] ???

The author has something to say:

Chicken Leg lady: Thank you for your hospitality, today’s chicken leg….no, chicken food….also no, chicken legs are really delicious ^_^

T/N: This has been sitting completely tl-ed for the past couple of days orz.
Was busy with real life so I am very late UwU

哈 – normally it would be laughing but in this case she is reprimanding them. back A type of card that you use to pay for hot water or taking a bath(?) back I don’t think her hand is actually big, it just means that she was incredibly generous and giving with the meal she scooped for him. back Probably not literally, just means that it was super crowded. back

顿时话也不说了天也不聊了 – according to baidu, it is a way to say that the conversation is so dull, that it shuts up the sky and heavens so basically they fell silent very quickly and created an atmosphere where it’s not easy to speak. back I’m pretty sure this was meant to be suggestive/innuendo-ish so I did my best QAQ back Michelin stars are used to make the “quality” and “luxury” of restaurants.
The more Michelin stars, the more expensive and “luxurious” the food and eating experience. back 把自己脑花也一起吃掉好: 脑花 is a dish of pig brains but i think in this case the sentence can also be interpreted to mix his own brain with his flowery thought (of love) to eat together.
I went with the one I felt had a better feel in text. back Based on the recipe: it is seasoned chicken fried with some cornflakes.
I’ve had it before in my home country and it is very tasty with a mild flavour tho the recipe I found just now had more seasonings like white pepper, oyster sauce, egg whites and soy sauce.
It’s probably called this because from afar the cornflakes make the chicken look like it has been covered into numerous snowflakes.
Picture will be given below back Apparently in China steamed egg (or egg custard?) can be either sweet or savoury so I am not sure which one Ran Ningmu has.
Image available below. back 学弟 – previously i translated this as underclassman but it feels really weird for AYX to call RNM that to his face so I’ve left it in pinyin because I couldn’t come up with anything better.
I will continue to use “underclassman” if characters are speaking this word casually rather than to somebody’s face. back 开心 – rejoice, happy, I think in this case it is meant to be taken in the way sometimes words like that are added into manga (and manhua/manhwa) to accentuate the feelings of the character back 非常可疑地滚 – can’t tell if author means Ran Ningmu is suspicious/doubtful that An Youxi will bring his card or whether the roll of the adam’s apple is suspicious/ambiguous in the horny way back 什么鬼 – has the meaning of ‘what the hell’ but is more of an expression of curiosity/bewilderment when somebody finds an event/occurrence inexplicable back 六级 – The College English Test examines the English proficiency of undergraduate and postgraduate students in China.
CET-4 and CET-6 are the two options with CET-6 being the higher and more desirable one (tho it is not *officially* required, employers and other officials place a lot of importance on it) back In chinese, posts are called buildings, the OP (original poster) is called a landlord (or building owner) and replies are called floors. back Basically all the posts/replies are super popular.
I’m not sure if they are actually red (like on some old school forums) or it’s just a figure of speech but in any case, their entire university is on fire with the popularity of the topic back Red is a festive colour and very typical of wedding, ancient chinese wedding robes were also red. back 还能不能 – it’s also a song that seems to be about the push-and-pull feelings between the singer and her lover who had left her for somebody else and is trying to come back to her back 机/基会 Another translator helped with this.
机会 means like an opportunity (to meet) and 基会 means a meeting between (gays)friends.
To keep the joke i made it dirtier (1.
I wanted to keep it in line with the tone of the story and 2.
I couldn’t think of anything else) where eat out with somebody obviously means to have a meal and eating out somebody means to go down/give head/perform oral. back
