Bear in mind that I don’t know chinese at all so the translations may not be 100% correct. If you know chinese then I apologize beforehand for all the mistranslations.

But Wen Heng even got worse, “What’s wrong? Try it!” For fear that Wen Heng thought he was unwilling to cooperate, Rong Xi quickly took a breath, but under such circumstances, he would only perform worse and worse. There was nothing right at all. Originally he thought Wen Heng would let him go, but Wen Heng would not let Rong Xi off easily if he was dissatisfied, and his tone become harsher, “You relax a little bit, breathe as the same as you usually do. Don’t deliberately try so hard, do it again.”

    Rong Xi knew if you don’t make him satisfied, Wen Heng would not let you go. In order not to disappoint Wen Heng and to escape from such an awkward situation as soon as possible, Rong Xi finally calmed down and took a slow and natural breath in accordance to the method Wen Heng said. Just as Rong Xi took a breath, he felt Wen Heng’s hand against his abdomen suddenly start to exert force, and a cold voice came from his ear, “Yes, that’s it, sink the breath.”   Rong Xi felt it.

Wen Heng’s hands on his abdomen feels like it were about to burn, but he continued to train according to Wen Heng’s requirements. After he finally completed his inhalation, Wen Heng slowly said beside him, “Now try to put the voice back. And say something.”  

   “Say, what?” Rong Xi felt that talking to Wen Heng under such circumstances was a kind of torture. What can he still remember to say now? He felt that he could only still remember a song ‘Ying Goose(1) in his mind, which was already a pity from heaven.   

  “Just say the first sentence of the manuscript I just read.”     Rong Xi glanced at the manuscript he had placed on the table and began to read the first sentence. Unexpectedly, Wen Heng started to speak again when he read a word, “Breath, Be steady.”   

  How can I be steady when you are by my side like this! Rong Xi clamored in his heart, but he didn’t dare to confront Wen Heng, so he could only continue to read according to Wen Heng’s request. Wen Heng only satisfied when Rong Xi finally said the right sentence, finally letting go of him, and drew a distance a little bit.  

   Only then did Rong Xi feel that he had finally recovered his freedom, his legs were so soft that he couldn’t stand it, and his mind become blank, nothing that Wen Heng taught could be remembered.    “Do you remember what I said to you?”

“Remember.” Even if you don’t remember, you have to say you remember. If they were to do it again, Rong Xi is worried that he can’t help but expose himself and it’s all over.

    Wen Heng nodded in satisfaction. Seeing Rong Xi’s uncomfortable appearance, Wen Heng asked, “Is it uncomfortable?”

    Rong Xi fixed his face and replied, “No, no.”

    “I think your face is a little red. Do you have a fever?” Wen Heng stepped forward and touched Rongxi’s forehead with the back of his hand, then touched his own, and muttered, “It seems to be a little hot. I have a thermometer here, let me measure it. “

    Rong Xi is full of grievance and said in his heart: I really don’t, I won’t blush if you don’t toss me.

 But Wen Heng, who had Rong Xi at his side, took the thermometer out of his drawer and handed it to him. “You sit there and rest, and take it as you please.”

    He took the thermometer and said thank you.

    Although Wen Heng misunderstood that he had a fever, he immediately took his body temperature, it was so warm. 

Rong Xi was so moved by Wen Heng’s caring  action that he stumbled with the thermometer and could not use it.

    Wen Heng frowned and asked: “Can you do it? Do you want me to help you?”

    ” Yes , no need…” Every time Rong Xi felt that he was embarrassed, Wen Heng always made him feel even more embarrassed.

    Of course, in Wen Heng’s opinion, there is nothing wrong with his actions.

    Rong Xi sat motionless in the chair waiting for the temperature to be measured. Wen Heng sat opposite him, writing and drawing on paper, not knowing what he was writing. However, in Rong Xi’s view, Wen Heng’s quietly writing looks really beautiful.

    If you don’t have that kind of thought for Wen Heng, from the perspective of getting along with Wen Heng, he is indeed a very warm person. If that is not the case, I might not like that person either. Sometimes Rong Xi it’s a lucky thing to like such a good person.

    There is nothing better and happier than to be happy for the person you like. Perhaps, he can really overcome the stuttering problem and speak nice things in front of people. Maybe his sister was right.

    In Wen Heng’s view, Rong Xi is sitting quietly on a chair with his hands folded on his knees, waiting motionlessly for his temperature to be taken. Unbelievably well-behaved. He doesn’t know how he can be so obedient. He (RX) follow him to read a book, let him take his temperature and even sit motionless.

    Wen Heng even wondered if he was too serious that he scares him? Everyone usually stays away from Wen Heng, andWen Heng also feels that it doesn’t matter but with Rong Xi being so nervous, this is the first time that Wen Heng starts to reflect on himself.  

   Five minutes passed quickly, Rong Xi glanced at the phone, and it was no more than five minutes, so he took out the thermometer and took a look at it for himself. It was just 37°C and there was no fever.

     So Rong Xi handed the thermometer to Wen Heng, “Thirty-seven degrees, no fever.”     Wen Heng took the thermometer, take a look at it and feel relieved, and then quickly hid the thermometer.     

Taking a look at the time, it turned out that it was already half past seven.     That’s right. The meeting just now started at six o’clock, it’s been an hour and a half after a lot of things were done. Wen Heng glanced at the time and thought that there seemed to be a lantern festival outside the school today. 

Feeling that Rongxi was being worked hard by himself today, Wen Heng naturally said, “There is a lantern festival outside at night, and it’s just right to go out at this time. Would you like to go see it?”     Hearing Wen Heng’s invitation, Rong Xi immediately become excited. The lantern festival!     

“Yeah, you might not know it since you just came. It’s in Huahua Wetland Park, very close to our school. Are you going?” Wen Heng was not in a hurry, waiting for Rong Xi’s answer. After all, if Rong Xi didn’t want to go, he also is not so reluctant.  

   “Okay, shall we go together?”  

   “Yeah, you have to hurry up if you want to go, let ‘s go.” Wen Heng turned off all the electricity in the office as soon as he finished speaking, and then pulled Rong Xi out.

Rong Xi was pulled with a hand, and there was no other reaction for a while, letting himself to be pulled by Wen Heng. Fortunately, Wen Heng let go when he locked the door, and Rong Xi felt a little regretful when he was let go.

    The time is too short, he still hasn’t had enough of it yet.

    When the two arrived, it was just in time for the Lantern Festival to begin. The Huahua Wetland Park was indeed worthy of its name(2), with flowers and lights everywhere. For a while, it really makes people feel like being in a “drunken place”.

    In the dark night, all kinds of lanterns are lit up everywhere, and most people who come to the lantern show come out with children or couples to play. There are a lot of people and lots of lights, which makes it very lively.    

 Miraculously, Rong Xi didn’t take out his mobile phone, Wen Heng also didn’t take out his mobile phone, neither did the two of them play mobile phones in tacit understanding. Rong Xi just felt that after all he is out with Wen Heng. Isn’t it a waste of time to take pictures of fireworks and lights?   

  Rongxi felt particularly relaxed in this place, it’s not like being at school or at home. It seems that the big world is just a feeling and he and Wen Heng are left behind. He doesn’t have to face other things, the only thing he needs to care about is Wen Heng. This feeling really didn’t exist in his life in the previous twenty years.  

   There is a bit of novelty, a bit of reluctance.    

Naturally, the flower-watching lamp is a part of the puzzle, and this year it is still a bit big. There’s a platform in the square, and there’s a mystery prize for the light mystery. Though Rongxi was skeptical that the mystery prize would be something as impractical as a refrigerator or television, but he and Wen muddled through.

   The host’s voice was there urging everyone to sign up. Wen Heng suddenly leaned over and said to Rong Xi, “Do you want me to help you win the’Mystery Prize’?”     Rong Xi looked at Wen Heng in surprise, “Really? ”   

 ” Let’s wait.” Wen Heng smiled and shove his cell phone to Rong Xi and go up to sign up.     Under the light of the lights, Wen Heng sat on the stage confidently and calmly. Although there were a lot of people on the stage, only Wen Heng was in Rong Xi’s eyes.

A hundred seats lined up neatly, the host asked questions, and everyone wrote the answers on the answer board. For each question, some people were eliminated, and the three who persisted to the end competed for the first, second and third places.

    Wen Heng wrote the answer almost every time without even thinking about it. Soon there were only three players left in the PK match. The others were a boy and a girl. Like Wen Heng, they gave the answer almost without even thinking about it. The audience below is more enthusiastic, wanting to know who this first place will go to.  

   For the excitement of the competition, the host announced that when the last three people competed, each player could have one opportunity to ask for help outside the field, and they could ask any audience on the scene for help.     

The other two have already used the opportunity to ask for help off the court, and Wen Heng has never used it once. It can be said that if they had no chance to ask for help, Wen Heng would have won, Rong Xi thought angrily.    

 For the last question, none of the three seem to be able to answer it, and they no longer have the opportunity to ask for help off the court, but Wen Heng still has it!   

  At this moment, both of them had already written the wrong answer, and the host asked Wen Heng to write the answer on the whiteboard. Wen Heng has been slow to write, and everyone felt that Wen Heng would definitely not be able to answer, and they were a little anxious for Wen Heng.  

   Wen Heng also seemed a little embarrassed, and said to the host, “I need to ask for help off-site.”    

 “Okay, may I ask which friend on the scene do you want help from?”  

   When they heard Wen Heng’s plea for help, many of the girls who had just became his fans were boiling all over. They all want to come on stage to help Wen Heng answer the question.     But Wen Heng remain unfazed and told the host, “A friend of mine came today, his name is Rong Xi. I hope he will help me.”    

The host, “You have to think clearly, if your friend can’t answer the question correctly, you will be counted as wrong. If you answer the question incorrectly, you will not be able to get the top three prizes.”   

  “No problem.”

Rong Xi was suddenly called underneath, and he was a little embarrassed that he didn’t want to go up the stage. After all, he didn’t know the answer. Wouldn’t it be a mess if he went up? But everyone was talking about who this mysterious friend was, and the host repeatedly urged that Rong Xi could only walk up slowly.

    Slowly walking towards Wen Heng, Rong Xi was a little uncomfortable. When he walked to Wen Heng’s side, Rong Xi quickly whispered to him, “I don’t know the answer. It’s useless for you to ask me to come up. What should I do now?”

    Wen Heng smiled without saying a word, just put on Rong Xi’s shoulder to comfort him not to worry.

    And just before the host spoke, Wen Heng spoke first, “I did not ask my friend to come up to let him answer questions, but to make it easier for me to give him the ‘mysterious gift’ I won. The Correct answer

   is– ” Wen Heng said, writing a few words on the whiteboard.
