The World Is A Bit Sweet Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Your Coat

If someone mentioned the name Chen Ge, you will hear numerous exclamations: I really like him!

If someone mentioned the name Mo Ka, you will hear numerous interrogative sentences : Who is Mo Ka?

Don’t know who told everyone that the coat Mo Ka was wearing was Chen Ge’s. The girls in Mo Ka’s cla.s.s, even compete for eyesight gathering on to Mo Ka. Not a moment of effort to surround him.

“Mo Ka, let me help you return this coat to Chen Ge?” A said.

“Mo Ka, don’t listen to her. I’m more familiar with Chen Ge. Give it to me.” B said.

“You guys, don’t be so annoying. Mo Ka. Normally in cla.s.s, my relations.h.i.+p with you is pretty good. They are sly and they have said bad things about you. I did not say anything. So, give me the coat.” C said.

More than two years, Mo Ka has never been concerned about by so many girls in the cla.s.s. How does this society have so many sn.o.bs. He is feeling very uncomfortable right now. No way to speak. His heart is feeling kind of oppressive, making him feel breathless. His heart wants to say a lot but there is no way to logically spit it out. At last, only his hands tightly grabbed on to the clothes side, desperately shaking his head. Mo Ka doesn’t like this. He hopes these strangers could stay a little farther from him because it seems like there is not enough air.

“Mo Ka, don’t be stingy. Is it possible that you a man, is also interested in Chen Ge.”

“I. I am not.”

“If you don’t why occupy the coat and hold on to it.”

“Any-, anyways no. ” Mo Ka very stubborn. He himself also doesn’t know why he would be so stubborn. Anyways, he just don’t want to give this coat to other people. No one!

“Mo Ka is really a nuisance.”

“Yeah, (he was) strange from the start of school. Maybe he really has that aspect of tendency.”

“He’s certainly cheating on Chen Ge’s sympathy, then got the jacket to do some disgusting things.”

Touching the wall, the words the girl spoke was becoming more and more vulgar. They talked about Mo Ka until his face was one minute blue and the next minute white. [1] Then, don’t know which girl reached her hand out and started to pull the clothes of Mo Ka’s body. Deciding to use force. Other girls saw and did not let go. Mo Ka pulled staggering. Head getting more dizzy.

The sound of clothes ripping made everyone let go. The girls looked on. If Chen Ge finds out that the coat get teared they will get the opposite effect instead. So the crowd quickly fell apart like when they came.

Mo Ka took off this coat that has already spilt/ripped everywhere. Biting his lower lip, not saying a word.

He doesn’t balme anyone. he also doesn’t want to blame others. That is too tiring. In spite of Mo Ka losing out on a lot of things, (such as) faith, dreams, (and) enthusiasm, but there’s one thing he has well preserved and that is a kind heart.

When school finished, the rain has stopped. The pavement was wet. The sky began to clear. Mo Ka ran back quickly. First put the umbrella in front of the door of 1801, then ran upstairs. At home he rummaged everywhere to find a small table lamp and the sewing box he just brought. Alone in his own room secretly sewing. As a man, Mo Ka is not very talented regarding things like sewing. After almost poking the cells of the fingers, the coat could be considered sewn. But it is like a ugly too horrible to look at wound. But Mo Ka still ran with the thought that maybe Chen Ge won’t notice it. Do not know if Mo Ka himself is too naive, or he feels that Chen Ge is a idiot.

The colour of the sky is slowly becoming dark. Mo Ka finished eating. He looked up to the balcony. Chen Ge’s room lights still dark. Has he not come back yet? He moved a small stool and sat in the balcony, clinging on to the iron railing watching Chen Ge’s balcony like a prisoner waiting to be released from prison. Is he with that pretty man from today? Or the two girls from a few days ago? Or the girl from a few few days ago? Mo Ka recalled seeing the people around Chen Ge and he slowly fell asleep. Still wearing Chen Ge’s coat. He liked this type of smooth and steady sweet taste, (it’s) like a candy that (you) never get tired of eating.

Chen Ge came to the balcony. Inadvertently see Mo Ka sleeping with a strange posture. He chucked a bit: “What a idiot.”

He leaned on the balcony, watching Mo Ka’s sleeping face. Really lucky he can sleep. October night wind bring a spasmodic chill, somewhat bleak.

“Hey.”

Chen Ge’s voice woke Mo Ka. Mo Ka opened his wavering sleepy eyes: “What?” This sentence was asked casually.

“You say what, if you need to sleep go back to your room to sleep. Don’t be a disgrace here.”

“What!” What else would Mo Ka want. Chen Ge already left back to the living room to pull the windows up.

This person, doesn’t listen to someone finish talking every time. In the end what is he [2].

[2] 一阵青一阵白 is a idiom that describes the change in a person’s facial expression when they become surprised or angry.

Mo Ka angrily went back to the room. Completely forgot the purpose of why he was on the balcony.

That evening, Mo Ka’s body began to feel uncomfortable in the middle of the night. Very hot. Sore throat. Although thirsty, he didn’t have the strength to even stand up and drink water. He weakly rested his hand on his forehead, feeling his temperature. Bad. He has a fever. He didn’t have enough time to take action, (as) he semi consciously fell asleep again. He felt that he dreamt a lot of dreams. The contents of the dream was very messy. Pyjamas were soaked with sweat, uncomfortably sticking to his body. Repulsive pull [3] endured till morning. Mo Ka climbed out, casually find medicine to take from the drawer. Pulled out his phone to look at the time. Today is Sat.u.r.day, fortunately there is no cla.s.s.

But because the teacher has arranged courseware/work he has to go to the library to borrow a book. Although his head is dizzy, he still dragged his heavy body to school. Along the way, those usually tasty snacks made Mo Ka frankly nauseous.

From out of the library, Mo Ka held the book. He used the back of his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead. Behind was a sweet female voice suddenly calling him.: “Cla.s.smate, sorry, can you help me lift this table?”

Mo Ka turned his head to see a very cute girl. He was a bit surprised. Turned his head to see that no one was behind him. After establis.h.i.+ng that the girl was calling him, slowly said: “You calling me?”

“Yeah, you also a freshman?”

“No. No I’m not. I’m a junior.” Still distressed

“So your a senior. I am a freshman, I’m called Su Rui. Can I bother you to help me lift the table because the welcome party is going to start immediately. (We’ve) agreed to come arrange on Sat.u.r.day (but) those boys from cla.s.s still haven’t come. Can I bother you to help me?”

Mo Ka’s body was already very unbearable but he still promised. He is a man, helping a women with this small thing cannot refuse. Don’t need to speak anyways. Should not be too embarra.s.sing. Several times Mo Ka lift the table, almost too looose. He gritted his teeth for support to A1. Inside, there was a lot of freshman. Mo Ka saw Chen Ge in one glance. Sitting at the table, with a book in his hand seriously looking. Regardless of where he looks, it will more or less lead to a sidelong glance. Mo Ka opened his mouth, but he found that his throats began to hurt badly. He couldn’t even yell out the name Chen Ge. He ignored the crowds weird glances and went in front of Chen Ge. Using his hands to press on the book Chen Ge was looking at. He wanted to tell Chen Ge about his coat.

Then, a scene happened making Mo Ka feel shameful. At the time Chen Ge looked up, his legs turned soft. Powerlessly fall in to Chen Ge’s arms. Yes. A man fell in to another man’s arms. Mo Ka still has some vague awareness. He fell would rather stick with who can use to knock himself dizzy. This time his face can be considered a big loss.

Chen Ge frowned. Looking at Mo Ka’s initiative to throw himself in to his arms. Fine nose tip sweating, somewhat red face. Suddenly opened and closed his eyes. Chen Ge placed the back of his hand in Mo Ka’s forehead, severely hot. Su Rui also followed: “Aiya, I only asked him to help me move the table how did he faint?”

Chen Ge didn’t speak. Picked Mo Ka up to walk outside. Mo Ka again smelled that faint fragrance on Chen a Ge’s clothes. Suddenly remembered something. Used all his strength looking at Chen Ge outraged: “You lied to me! As it turns out, you do not use Tide was.h.i.+ng powder. This smell isn’t right.” This complaint was the last sentence Mo Ka said before fainting,

Chen Ge somewhat dumbfounded. In the end what is he saying. Every time this guys attention focus is very strange. Su Rui picked up the book and put it into Mo Ka’s arms. Chen Ge carried Mo Ka out. Although it’s Sat.u.r.day there’s not a lot of people, but there’s not too less either. Chen Ge stopped a taxi: “To the hospital.”

(His) Voice uttered, Mo Ka like the final radiance of a setting sun, opened his eyes, grabbed Chen Ge’s collar “I’m not going to the hospital, I want to go home.”

“No.” in a firm voice. Chen Ge’s att.i.tude was cold.

“I don’t want to go to the hospital.”

Chen Ge didn’t reason with Mo Ka. Mo Ka softened his tone then spoke: “I beg you.”

Chen Ge looked at Mo Ka. Already become this sick but with that kind of expression looking at him. In the end, how afraid of the hospital is he. Mo Ka’s eyelids began to get heavy again. He gently caught Chen Ge’s fingers, voice uncertain: “Please do not take me to the hospital. My father died at the hospital. So don’t, don’t…” Mo Ka’s mouth only murmured. At last, heavy breathing. Chen Ge looked the hot small hands holding his and again, looked at Mo Ka’s twisted eyebrows expression. Finally, facing the driver and said: “Back to the academy road.”

Time, pa.s.sed like a century.

Mo Ka was teased awake by a particular sweet taste.This taste is somewhat familiar. The same as Chen Ge’s clothes. He opened his eyes, confused. For a short while, he didn’t know where he was. Maybe he died. Maybe this is heaven. So it turns out heaven was this clean.
