A kid's play (Teach me how to live again) - Hualian AU + TGCF as kids

A beer first, and later hot pot

"Everything was so quiet that I couldn't avoid listening, and then you said you... you were..."

"Cheated on. Oh, that's great, then. You already know it, that's nice. I didn't want to have to go back to the beginning and start explaining."

"If that makes you feel better..."

"Yes, yes, it does, so I can just skip directly to the point when, yesterday evening, my cheating girlfriend showed up at my door. Unannounced."

A short silence followed. Xie Lian was gathering the courage to talk, so Hua Cheng respected his space, taking a sip from his beer. Right when Xie Lian was about to continue, someone touched his shoulder.

He looked back, as did Hua Cheng since they were seating side by side. It was a girl in a flashy outfit, two others stood some steps behind her. She spoke to Xie Lian, "hey, fairy-mister. I'm sorry, not really, to interrupt your 'bro' talk, but I have an offer that will surely interest you. See, my friend over here is dying to get to know your ethereal being better." She then looked at Hua Cheng and smiled big, "oh, hello, handsome. I'll get to you in a bit." She leaned on Xie Lian's direction to whisper, her breasts almost touching him. "I'm pretty sure this friend would be willing to do a bit more if you're also interested. Why don't you follow her outside and you guys have a chat? I can stay here with your gorgeous friend," she turned to Hua Cheng completely now. "What's your name, you little piece of my ruin?"

Xie Lian felt his cheeks reddening and started to mumble. "No, miss, don't, I'm not sure, you see, I, we, wait a sec, San Lang, would you..."

Flashy-lady had already pulled a chair.

Hua Cheng replied to her with another question, "if the two of you are busy with us, what would your other girl friend be doing?"

"Oh, well." The spokesperson for the trio had to think fast. "She can join you and me if you like! I wouldn't mind," she replied to Hua Cheng.

The girl continued to insist to Xie Lian until she pushed him out of his chair. That was when Hua Cheng held his wrist.

"Gege, do you want to go there?" He asked.

"No, of course not, San Lang."

To that, Hua Cheng pulled him closer, distancing him from the girl. "I see, so, miss, if you'd excuse us, we were having a drink here."

She wouldn't just take it so easily and gestured for the other friends to come closer. "Listen, this here that we're offering is not something that happens to everyone, we are sincerely interested in spending time with y..."

What followed next made everyone surprised. Hua Cheng maneuvered Xie Lian to come stand close to him and hugged his shoulders. "You see, I was just trying to have a good time with my boyfriend, would you please leave us alone? Right, honey?" To make it more drastic, Hua Cheng then put his leg behind Xie Lian's knee and accommodated the teacher sitting on his lap.

"E-e-en," was all that came out of Xie Lian's being in a simple and shocked attempt to agree.

The three girls freaked out. They started saying "whaaat?", "stop it!", "is this a joke?" But the third one, the one that would just tag along with the spokesperson and Hua Cheng, she was the most impressed. Except for Xie Lian, of course.

She was basically shouting when she said, "This is like a movie scene! No way! You guys just want to get rid of us. I don't buy it!"

With that, the spokesperson got encouraged to be annoying again. She looked at her friend meaningfully, the type of look only another fujoshi would know, and said, "well then, we're very sorry to have disturbed you two, gentlemen. Still, for the purpose of research, you know, may we kindly request a demonstration of your love? We actually just wanna have good dreams today. Pleeeease?"
