世界有点甜_NO.2 贪爱 Tanha [1]

[1]People on discord said “Craving for love” and Baidu says “Tanha” which is a Buddhist term for an intense desire for life

All sorts of rumours went around concerning the last time the school saw Chen Ge and Mo Ka eating together and the majority of them were passed about Chen Ge’s good intentions and so on. helping the impoverished and neglected senior. Usually, if Chen Ge was with a beautiful girl there would be a ruckus and rumours what not but with Mo Ka, he became a Philanthropist.

Meanwhile when Mo Ka heard the rumours he let out a long sigh of relief and extremely resented the manners and morals of the time, a bit too far from reality.

[T/N basically the rumours were nothing of the reality]

The teacher’s words pulled Mo Ka back from his thoughts: “You are third year students, you should be familiar with the outside world. From dawn to dusk you live by muddling along without any aims. Nowadays PhD candidates are everywhere, if you don’t make great efforts then in the future it will be hard when you want to find a job. How many students took the certificate of completion last term instead of a diploma? You should know that the certificate of completion has no use at all, there isn’t a sense of crisis yet as nowadays young people are too arrogant.”

Mo Ka listened to his teacher’s lecture on the stage whilst scribbling his pen on the paper. He is a third year student, next year he will need to go out for an internship and so it seems he needs to be a bit more serious. Recently his mind was full of Chen Ge and he hasn’t settled down to study well, it’s time for him to also make good efforts. Mo Ka doesn’t want to be an outstanding person but he doesn’t want to be a useless person even more.

Noon break, Mo Ka was still putting up a desperate fight to read books to repair the previous slump. In a little while the students have all left, the empty classroom was left with Mo Ka. Mo Ka looked outside the window in a daze, spring should be coming quickly.

“What are you looking at?” a magnetic voice broke the silence. Mo Ka turned around to see Chen Ge walking to him. Chen Ge reached out to press Mo Ka’s head then sat down next to Mo Ka throwing the bread onto the table.

Mo Ka tore open the bread’s plastic bag taking a few bites: “As expected first year is still better it’s just about enjoying a very good youth, i’m already the setting red sun.” [1]

[1] 我都已经夕阳红了 means i’m already old

“Are you a grains old man?” [2] He unexpectedly said such words.

[2]糟老头吗 for some reason it translates to dirty old man

“I think it’s about the same, in half a year I’ll need to go for an internship.”

“So what?”

“What ‘so what’? Going for an internship means leaving school of course. At that rate…” Mo Ka flattened his mouth and swallowed a big bite of bread. In a low voice: “At that rate you will certainly be snatched away.”

He is really is cute. Chen Ge took the pen and poked Mo Ka’s face: “Moron if you’re scared degrade to keep me.”

[T/N I think that Chen Ge is saying get held back a year at uni so that Mo Ka can prevent him being stolen away.]

“Who wants to keep you, don’t flatter yourself.”

Mo Ka finished eating the bun and rubbed his belly feeling so full. His eyes were somewhat blurred: “What’s going on? Feel sleepy after eating my fill.”

Chen Ge reached out to press Mo Ka’s head to his leg but because of his body’s distortion Mo Ka could only lie flat on the rows of stools. His face was red as he struggled to sit up.

“Don’t move.”

“Someone will see in a moment, this is the classroom I won’t help you lick.”

“Pu——” [3] Chen Ge actually laughed out.

[3] snigger

“What are you laughing at?”

“Mo Ka you’re very indecent.”

“You’re indecent.”

“Stop making such a noise, sleep.”

Mo Ka was taken aback, he was simply regretting the shameless words he had just said that he awkwardly rubbed his face on Chen Ge’s trousers scolding himself an moron but, because he was too sleepy not long after, he snuggled on Chen Ge’s leg peacefully sleeping, splendid.

The warm winter sunshine came into the quiet classroom sprinkled on the textbook, on the pen, on the blackboard and on the two people’s bodies.

In the afternoon the last lesson is physical education class. It’s really strange, maybe because the university was lazy. In junior high school and senior high school, the lesson that students most looked forward to was physical education as it can be capable of inhibiting studying to allow one catch their breath. Why is it physical education lesson again in university.

“A sports meeting is to be held straightaway, your class try to win. Students who have signed up practice in a short while, the whole class run 5 laps around the sports ground. Each and everyone has become lazy to the bones. Don’t think that just because you’re in university that you can have your own way. The body is ability.” The physical education teacher was in high spirits again talking without stopping.

The class issued a sad sound. Mo Ka used to be good at sports but he can no longer good at it now. Anyways, he has no interest in participating in such a lively event. After five laps Mo Ka could no longer hold on anymore until the last bell rang, Mo Ka fell on to the lawn of the football court unable to move. Looking at the sky from this point of view was even more vast. The right hand side started to become lively, Mo Ka turned his body to see Chen Ge an Su Rui coming down together. It seems to be their class’s physical education lesson.

These two standing together, however you look they match each other like filming an idol drama. Mo Ka wanted to make himself be forgotten but there was something tightening up his chest. He was rather disgusted with his greedy self, seeing Chen Ge gentle with someone else he was really somewhat not resigned to it.

Mo Ka stood up patting the dirty stuff off his body  and was ready to leave. Su Rui suddenly saw Mo Ka: “Senior Mo Ka. Yi, why are you here?”

Mo Ka was at a loss of what to do but the other has already called him. Put in a difficult position he could only answer, his eyes stole a glance at Chen Ge.

“Our last class is physical education, I’m about to leave.”

“What a coincidence, encounter senior everywhere. Our physical education class has changed this school term.”

“So its like that.” Mo Ka didn’t know what to say, he laughed: “Then I won’t disturb you, you slowly chat.”

Su Rui revealed a shy expression: “Senior, you’re saying this again it’s very embarrassing”

That kind of look from a girl,there is a feeling that makes men want to protect. On the side Chen Ge expressionlessly looked at Mo Ka like he wanted to see through Mo Ka. Mo Ka went past Chen Ge then ran.

“Senior Mo Ka seems strange whenever he sees me, could it be that he likes me?” Su Rui laughed cracking a joke.

Chen Ge knitted his eyebrows, what is that guy thinking off again?

“Oh right, Chen do you have time this week? Do you want to go out to play?”

“I already have a plan.”

“Yi? Recently, we’ve not been able to reach you, that’s too much. Could it be that you need to accompany your girlfriend?” Su Rui probed.

“Yep.”

A short word was a big blow to Su Rui. Usually, did not see Chen Ge come into contact with that woman. How did a girlfriend suddenly emerge? He did not wait for Su Rui to continue asking, Chen Ge already went to the sports ground alone.

After self-study class at night, Mo Ka slowly picked up his books to go to the school gate and he bumped into Chen Ge at the lift. Two people stood in the lift, Mo Ka cuddled the books in his arms: “There’s going to be a sports meeting right away, today the physical education is really too much he/she actually made us run ten laps. He/she simply want my life.”

Seeing Chen Ge not speak, Mo Ka also didn’t.

When the lift arrived on the 18th floor, Chen Ge grabbed Mo Ka’s wrist dragging him out of the lift closing the door. Mo Ka leant against the door, Chen Ge propped his hand on the door: “Do you have anything to say to me?”

“There’s nothing special.”

Chen Ge used his hand to lift Mo Ka’s chin using some force “I say you should tell me, if you don’t want to see me with a girl.”

Mo Ka was surprised, why can he hide anything from Chen Ge: “I haven’t”

“You haven’t? You’re lying in front of me, I’m going to be angry.”

Mo Ka bit his lips thinking deeply for a long time only then did he gradually say: “I feel that I am very unpleasant seeing you with other women, I will feel vexed like a woman making blind and disorderly conjectures and there isn’t a bit of manly demeanour. How could I have the face to say these words to you?” Mo Ka cited his own faults one after another.

Chen Ge released Mo Ka’s chin and opened the living room light taking off his coat throwing it onto the sofa: “So what do you want me to do?”

“I can make a request?” Mo Ka went forward to hang up the coat Chen Ge threw onto the sofa.

“Let me hear it.”

“Then don’t get  too close with that girl!” Mo Ka straightforwardly gave an order.

“Attitude is not good, reject.” Chen Ge sat on the sofa.

Mo Ka was getting angry that his teeth were itching, let him give an order to him, he is also the one who complains at everything. Mo Ka dawdled for half the day before he reached out to close the living room light as he didn’t want to let Chen Ge see the expression on his face. He went in front of Chen Ge lowering his head to look at Chen Ge who was sat on the sofa: “Don’t be too gentle others, I will be disturbed.”

Chen Ge stretched out a hand and Mo Ka who was unstable fell into Chen Ge’s “I know.”

“It’s good you know.” Mo Ka murmured as he nested in Chen Ge’s arms.

Mo Ka really wanted to let Chen Ge know everything about ‘like’ this mood and he wanted to remember every second with Chen Ge not letting this memory be blurred by time.
