Little Love Song Chapter 12 pt. 1:
As a child, Ning Er immensely loathed Shao Bai Han.
Within their neighborhood, the both of them were considered quite similar in age. Coincidently, their houses also just so happen to be on opposite sides from one another.
Grandma Shao was always worried that Shao Bai Han's eccentric and gloomy temperament would eventually cause a rift to grow between him and his parents. Due to this, she especially sought out Ning Er, hoping that as children, Ning Er and Shao Bai Han would become affectionately close friends.
Ning Er still remembers the time when Grandma Shao knocked on his family's door, tugging Shao Bai Han by his hand. Shao Bai Han's smile hasn't changed at all, even now, it still remains as lovely and sensible as ever. Where exactly could Papa Ning and Mama Ning find any faults with this child.
Papa Ning said to Ning Er: "Look at the Shao family's Xiao Han, he's such a good child. When you're playing with him you have to treat him well and make sure not to bully him, understood? "
How exactly could he bully Shao Bai Han??
At first, Ning Er regarded Shao Bai Han with curiosity and genuinely wanted to become friends with Shao Bai Han. The two of them could have fun playing in the sandbox together or they could even play with the children's building blocks.
This didn't seem to be the case however, when Ning Er brought Shao Bai Han to the community playground. Just as Ning Er was beginning to dig holes in the sandbox with his shovel, Shao Bai Han simply walked to the side and sat down and began to play video games.
From morning to night, Ning Er's presence was never acknowledged.
Timidly he would call out, asking if Shao Bai Han wanted to join him, however his questions were also left unanswered.
As the two of them were heading home, Shao Bai Han looked at him coldly and asked: "Did you have fun today?"
Ning Er coquettishly said: "Shao Bai Han, you shouldn't constantly play games. My mother said that playing video games isn't good, and that we should study hard instead."
Shao Bai Han's eyes narrowed: "Did you have fun or not?"
Ning Er who was intimidated by Shao Bai Han to tears: "I had fun!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the present day, Ms. Ning still enthusiastically welcomed Shao Bai Han into the house. Due to Shao Bai Han's sensible and caring appearance he seemed to exude the image of a very well behaved child. But as soon as Ning's mother left, and the two entered Ning Er's room Shao Bai Han's face was full of curiosity as he looked at his surroundings. Finally, his gaze seemed to to rest on a pile of awards that hung against the wall.
With his finger, Shao Bai Han pointed out: "Why aren't your award certificates for last semester and the third year junior high here?
Ning Er's body stiffened: "... I wasn't able to get them"
Shao Bai Han looked at him.
Ning Er lowered his head: "I failed in P.E that semester, so I couldn't get the certificates."
Shao Bai Han sincerely and earnestly said: "Train hard in order to build up your physique"
Ning Er: "..."
His body was already particularly good!
Despite coming over to his house to study, Shao Bai Han initially only brought with him a single math book and a pen. The moment the Ning Er's door was shut, he and Shao Bai Han sat down opposite from one another. Ning Er conscientiously brought out two of his exercise books and intended to work on the problems in earnest. Shao Bai Han however, casually threw his book and pen on the desk. As he leaned his back against the chair he took out his phone and began to play games.
Ning Er raised his head and glanced at Shao Bai Han, he than lowered his head to continued solving the problems.
By the time Ning Er finished three math questions, the background music of Shao Bai Han's game rang out.
Ning Er was a bit dumbfound and blankly looked up at Shao Bai Han.
Shao Bai Han fished out his headphones: "Well, I brought my headphones so I won't be bothering you. "
Ning Er's lips furled slightly.
As a matter of fact, their wasn't any issues concerning the headphones.
If Shao Bai Han didn't want to study at all, why would he go to Ning Er's house just to play games?
After completing the conic curve problems, Ning Er did several function and sequence problems.
After finishing all of them, he began to rub his wrists with his hands.
He was reluctant to lift up his head, however he soon wasn't able to hold back the urge and quietly looked in the direction of Shao Bai Han.
The glittering light of the desk lamp was only able to illuminated Shao Bai Han's lower chin. As he looked at the the screen of his mobile phone with indifference, he tightly pursed his lips, as his fingers slid down quickly.
Ning Er couldn't hear the sound of the mobile phone thus didn't know what game Shao Bai Han was playing, but eventually the white headphone cord gently dropped from the side of Shao Bai Han's ear. As this happened, Shao Bai Han's current appearance seemed to evoke familiar and strange feelings within Ning Er.
When Ning Er was just four years old he happened to see Shao Bai Han in this exact same position. He was sitting in a quiet place, playing games by himself. He was just so isolated from the rest of
the world.As if aware of Ning Er's gaze, Shao Bai Han lifted his eyes, raising his eyebrow at Ning Er, he perked up the corners of his lips and asked: "Is there something on my face?"
Ning Er's face suddenly became bashful, and he hastily said, "No."
Shao Bai Han came to a certain understanding: "it's because I'm just so exceedingly handsome that your eyes aren't able look away from me."
Ning Er: "..."
The new and improved Shao Bai Han, had also came with a thicker face!
Within the next 20 minutes, Shao Bai Han continued to play games, while Ning Er completed a whole set of examination papers.
Shao Bai Han: "I'm feeling a little sleepy, can I sleep in your bed?"
Ning Er who was momentarily in a daze said: "Yes ..."

Translator's note: Hey everyone, I'm Nel. I'm the new translator for Little Love Song. I thought I would pick this novel up since it hasn't been updated for a little over a year now. That being said, I like to point out that I have zero experience in the field of translation. To add to that, my Chinese is non-existent. So I'll be using machine-based translations as a reference. (I'm basically just editing the the MTL). Despite my lack of skills, I hope you'll enjoy my confuddling attempt to piece together a somewhat localized and coherent translation of Little Love Song.
P.s Sorry for the super short chapter, I'm hoping my overall translation speed will improve orz
