Your Distance

60 - Ahead

Ting Shuang was still worried about the exam, “But I haven’t finished revising.”

“But can you take anything in now?” Bai Changyi asked.

Ting Shuang shook his head, redirecting his thoughts away from it, “Fine, I can’t take anything in anyway. Let’s go out and play, just as a stress reliever… What are we doing?”

“What do you want to play?” Bai Changyi put the emphasis on “you”.

Ting Shuang thought for a while, and said, “… I don’t know.”

Bai Changyi said, “Keep thinking about it if you don’t know.”

Ting Shuang said, “Then… Are there any options I can choose from?”

Bai Changyi smiled and said, “No.”

Ting Shuang straddled Bai Changyi’s thigh and dissatisfiedly pulled on his tie, “Hey, it’s you who said you wanted to take me out to play. You don’t even have options available, isn’t that too irresponsible?”

Bai Changyi put his hand on the back of Ting Shuang’s waist and said, “I am responsible for ‘taking you out’, and you are responsible for the rest.”

“I don’t know what I can do…”

“I’ll consider whether you ‘can or cannot’ do it. You just have to think about what you want to do.”

“Anything’s fine?”

“We’ll talk about feasibility later. Right now, not taking any other factors into account, what do you want to do?”

Ting Shuang looked at the ceiling for a while, and suddenly started wondering out loud, “I want to… drive a racecar without speed limits, so no one can catch up to me; play football and destroy everyone else, so even Germans can’t beat me; sail the seas and ride with the winds and waves, so as to fight the sharks; form a band in which I can play the guitar and sing, having tens of thousands of people in the audience go crazy; put on a mech suit, so I can fly around the city killing giants; hack all the professors’ computers, so I can steal the exam– cough, where was I. Oh, flying around killing giants… Hm, about the last one, isn’t flying around killing giants too unrealistic?”

Bai Changyi laughed as he listened, “The first few aren’t very realistic either.”

Ting Shuang also felt like laughing, “I know… so I didn’t think about really doing it…”

However, he didn’t expect Bai Changyi’s words to take on a whole new direction, “Being unrealistic doesn’t mean they’re impossible.”

“But…” Ting Shuang really couldn’t figure out how they could be done.

“As I’d said, I’ll consider whether you ‘can or cannot’ do it.” Bai Changyi patted Ting Shuang’s buttocks, “We’re going out so change your clothes. Wear shorter pants.”

“Then I’ll wear shorts.” Ting Shuang asked while looking for clothes, “Is it because we’re playing football?”

Bai Changyi’s lips tipped up, “It’s because I want to see the view.”

If Ting Shuang’d heard this before, he would definitely blush, but now, because Bai Changyi often told him about how beautiful his body was, he confidently stood up straight, back facing Bai Changyi, deliberately turning back and glancing at his buttocks and legs as if showing off. He asked proudly, “Is the view good?”

Bai Changyi couldn’t help but keep laughing, “Yeah.”

Ting Shuang put on a pair of mint green shorts and was extremely satisfied with his figure, “Say, since I’m this good-looking, will others think ‘hey, this old man has to be rich’(1) when they see me standing next to you later?”
