[BL] Bite Your Fingertips

Afraid?

Come December, the weather was still as cold, but Jianing Private's atmosphere had changed from inside to outside.

It would be Christmas at the end of December, and a few days later would be the New Year's Eve Cultural Gala.

Zhang Yueshan was clasping a thermos cup while muttering, "Apple, apple, apple..."

Chu Yu was so annoyed that he took off the tissue earplugs in his ears. "Class Rep, if you want to eat apples, I'll buy you a box right away! If one box is not enough, then ten! Even one truck is fine! I beseech you, stop chanting, you've been chanting all morning!"

Zhang Yueshan looked tangled as he sighed. "School Flower, you don't understand, I want to send apples on Christmas Eve."

"It's you giving away an apple, and not giving away a person's head on Christmas Eve!"

Zhang Yueshan glared. "My gosh, don't speak like it's some horror movie, okay? It's also not Halloween!" His shoulders then dropped. "Ai, you don't understand."

Chu Yu lifted his chin. "What do I not understand? Isn't giving apples just a marketing method that apple sellers came up with? And for what? That's right, for a sense of tradition!"

Li Hua moved his draft paper away, turned his head, and spoke profoundly, "In the distant Jianing Private, a beautiful legend had been handed down. That is, on Christmas Eve, buy two apples and give one of them to someone you like. If the other party accepts and eats it, it means that you've broken out of the ranks of singles and will soon reap sweet love."

After speaking, he pointed to one side. "Look."

Looking in the direction Li Hua's finger pointed at, Chu Yu saw Dream-Ge gnawing an apple in big bites with a not so good expression and wrinkled brows.

Chu Yu was puzzled. "Dream-Ge doesn't look good while eating that apple. Why on earth look at him? And what's that much bitterness and hatred for?"

"This is the fourth apple Dream-Ge ate today. He has eaten twenty apples in the past three days. He's trying to find out for himself which variety of apple is the most delicious. Afterwards, he'll choose the most delicious apple and give it to the girl he likes."

Chu Yu secretly took a breath—Damn, isn't this eating till you fucking vomit?

After Li Hua's enlightening session, he sat down again and continued to do his homework. Zhang Yueshan, who had his brows creased, lay down on Chu Yu's table, and sighed every now and then. "School Flower, I'm so anxious."

"I can see that."

"Should I give an apple?"

Chu Yu remembered when they were trapped in the cave, Zhang Yueshan had told him he'd always had a crush on a girl, but didn't dare to confess.

Thinking of this, Chu Yu also followed and lay on the desk. Zhang Yueshan and his gaze met, and he put out an idea. "I think so, why not just give one? If you're afraid, just be more subtle. For example, give an apple along with a banana!"

"What is the principle behind giving a banana?"

Chu Yu was initially talking nonsense, but he really wanted to give some kind of reason. "Probably... yes, banana means to quickly peel my clothes and show you my soft, snow-white, sweet heart at once!"

Zhang Yueshan couldn't stop laughing. "Wtf, you're so talented, School Flower!"

Chu Yu was proud. "Of course!"

He urged again, "Isn't there that saying, 'You confessed to me at our graduation dinner, I cried, where the fuck have you been in the last three years?' If you don't say it, how will the other person know you like her? Isn't this the reasoning behind it?"
