Chapter 301 - 301 301 Memories from Childhood (very sweet 5)_1
?Chapter 301: 301, Memories from Childhood (very sweet 5)_1 Chapter 301: 301, Memories from Childhood (very sweet 5)_1 In a dream that belonged solely to Black Jack.
He was surrounded by a white mist, running forward with all his might, but he never seemed to reach the end.
Suddenly, the fog dispersed, and a blinding ray of sunshine pierced through.
Jian Luo raised his hand to shield his eyes. When he adjusted to the light, he lowered his hand.
A crisp sound of laughter reached his ears, faintly familiar.
He focused his gaze, and the image in front of him gradually became clear.
It was in Black Jack’s fortress.
A miniature version of him and a miniature version of Black Jack.
He was ten years old and Black Jack was thirteen.
At that time, it was their fourth year of acquaintance and the second year since Black Jack helped him overcome mild autism.
That year’s winter vacation was freezing cold. Black Jack and his family went to France for a month, and he remembered going to the airport to pick them up very early in the day.
In the living room, the flames in the fireplace were roaring, casting a warm glow in his clear eyes.
He and Black Jack sat on the soft carpet, dressed in thick sweaters, while Black Jack was clad in a thin knitted shirt.
He rummaged through Black Jack’s suitcase but did not find the desired gift. His rounded face instantly lost its cheerful smile.
He looked up, puffingly turned to the person next to him, his fair hand extended towards him, demanding for the gift, “Black Jack, where’s my gift?”
“I forgot to buy it.”
He immediately grew unsatisfied, pounced on him, and clung onto his back, placing all his weight on him.
“You promised me a gift and you didn’t get me one! And here I am working so hard to pick you up at the airport, smelly Black Jack, I will squash you to death, squash you to death!”
“Hey, you decided to pick me up, I didn’t ask you to.” Black Jack, with him pressing down on him, was not annoyed. His sapphire eyes shone with a charming smile.
“Luo Xiaobai, you’ve gained quite a bit of weight recently; you’ll become a round ball if you keep eating.”
He forgot about the gift and dared to mock him, absolutely unforgivable.
He rolled off his body, pursing his moist lips, “Smelly Black Jack, if you think I’m fat, I won’t give you gifts anymore, I hate you.”
“As you wish, anyway, the gifts you usually give are all pranks on me.” As Black Jack said this, he pinched his chubby baby fat.
“Look, you’ve gotten fat like this.”
He glared at him angrily, and swatted his hand away.
“I’m going home, let’s have a two-day breakup.”
Black Jack grabbed him, messing up his chestnut hair, “You’re getting mad so easily?”
“Don’t mess up my hair, starting from now, we are having a two-day breakup. Come find me in two days.” He raised his chin and hummed in a proud manner.
“Ha-ha.” Black Jack couldn’t help laughing, earning a glare from him.
“You’re still laughing, I’m going home now, then I’ll get my sister to beat you up.”
After that, he slipped into his shoes smoothly and walked towards the door without even putting on his coat.
“Don’t you want your chocolate?”
The teasing words imbued with a trace of laughter sounded from behind, successfully halting his steps.
He turned around abruptly, his eyes shining brightly as they fixated on Black Jack.
“Chocolate?”
Didn’t he say he forgot to buy it?
Black Jack stood up, walked around the table, opened the drawer and took out a beautifully packaged box of chocolates.
His grumpy little face instantly lit up with a bright smile. Kicking off his shoes, he rushed towards Black Jack.
Using too much force, he ended up knocking Black Jack onto the ground.
Fortunately, the floor was carpeted with wool. Otherwise, Black Jack would have suffered internal injuries from the fall.
He snatched the chocolate from Black Jack’s hand. His beautiful eyes curved up into a smile, “Black Jack, you big liar.”
His favourite chocolate!
Only his grandpa did not allow him to consume too many sweets.
Despite having bought it for him, he had lied and said he’d forgotten.
“Young master, you sure are comfortable sitting on me as if I’m a human cushion, hmm?” Black Jack casually commented, looking at the chubby figure sitting on him.
This foodie. He gets so happy over just a chocolate. What if he gets easily deceived by others?
Holding the chocolate, he gleefully looked at Black Jack, lowered his head and kissed his cheek, “Black Jack, I knew you were the best.”
Black Jack snorted lightly, “Who was it just now that said they wanted to break up with me?”
Ungrateful little thing.
He pretended to be dumb, “I don’t know, who said it, I’ll go and beat them.”
Black Jack gave him a cold look, “Hurry up and move, you’re squishing me.”
“Oh.” Holding his chocolate, he rolled off him.
Black Jack sat up, looking at the person beside him who was eagerly opening the chocolate, he couldn’t help but grin.
“Luo Xiaobai, can’t you have some ambition? If Bai Jue saw this, he’d definitely make fun of you for days.”
He violently tore open the packaging, took out a piece of chocolate, and directly put it into his mouth.
“Who cares, Bai Jue isn’t here anyway.”
Black Jack rested his chin on his hand, quietly watching him. His chubby face was puffed up from eating, making him look like a little squirrel.
Suddenly, he turned his head to meet Black Jack’s blue eyes, “Black Jack, let’s make a promise.”
“Huh?” Black Jack was slightly intrigued.
“Let’s remain childhood friends for a lifetime.” His eyes sparkled, and he spoke sincerely.
Black Jack’s mouth twitched, “…”
As expected, he couldn’t depend on his chocolate-filled brain to come up with a good plan.
“So, good or not?” He urged him.
“Luo Xiaobai, do you know what childhood sweethearts means?” Black Jack asked, rubbing his temple.
“Isn’t it just like us?” Jian Luo replied in a soft voice.
Black Jack tapped his head, “Did you even listen in class? Childhood sweethearts refer to a boy and a girl.”
“So, it doesn’t apply to two boys?” He asked with a pouting face.
Seeing his almost-crying face, Black Jack swallowed back his response.
“… Well, it’s not impossible”
To make Luo Xiaobai happy, twisting the truth a bit should be okay, right?
His eyes lit up as he spoke.
“Then it’s settled, you’ll be my childhood sweetheart forever.”
Saying so, he grabbed Black Jack’s hand, linking their pinkies together.
“Sealed, no takebacks.”
Black Jack looked at their intertwined fingers and chuckled, “Luo Xiaobai, why do you want me to be your childhood sweetheart so badly?”
“Because if you become my childhood sweetheart, you’ll buy me chocolates for the rest of my life.”
“…”
Just for this reason?
Unbelievable.
Black Jack curled his finger and flicked him between the eyebrows.
“Idiot!”
He rubbed his forehead, laughed harmlessly, then continued eating his chocolate.
“…”
Just for this reason?
Unbelievable.
Black Jack curled his finger and flicked him between the eyebrows.

He rubbed his forehead, laughed harmlessly, then continued eating his chocolate.
Jian Luo watched the two children sitting on the carpet, a small smile playing on his lips.
Suddenly, the scene changed again.
It was their school now.
Because they skipped grades, they were the youngest students in the class, making them a frequent target for school bullies.
That year, he was twelve.
He didn’t go home with his older sister after school and chose to wait for Black Jack and Bai Jue, only to run into trouble.
Six big kids, two to three years older than him, ganged up on him. He managed to escape from the fight with some injuries.
Fortunately, he was a fast runner; otherwise, he would have been beaten to a pulp.
Instead of going home, he went to find Black Jack and Bai Jue. Upon hearing what had happened, they immediately brought their bodyguards to back him up.
They blocked the six troublemakers at the school gate and gave them a good beating.
He sat back, leaning against Black Jack, watching the show with amusement.
“Luo Xiaobai, are you an idiot? Why didn’t you run when the fight was not in your favor?” Black Jack poked his scrape, asking.
“There were six of them, how could I run?” He covered the scrape in pain.
Black Jack pulled his hand away, blowing gently on his wound, “Next time something like this happens, come straight to Bai Jue and me. We’ll back you up.”
“Okay.” His eyes shone brightly as he looked at Black Jack.
After teaching the bullies a lesson, they headed back to the Manor together. At that time, their favourite thing to do was having sleepovers at each other’s places.
The four of them were playing a multiplayer game together.
Under the setting sun, the three young boys huddled together with their arms around each other’s shoulders.
“Black Jack, Bai Jue, I haven’t finished my summer break homework yet. The teacher will check it tomorrow.” He pleaded pitifully.
Bai Jue being the cunning one immediately said, “This is for Black Jack to deal with, don’t look at me. I still have to go through the love letters given to me by my school juniors.”
In response, he turned to Black Jack with a pathetic expression and a scrape on his forehead, looking quite miserable.
Black Jack smiled helplessly, “How many times has it been now? I remember doing your winter break homework too.”
He nodded, “So, help me one more time, please. If Grandpa finds out, I won’t get any snacks.”
“I really can’t stand you,” Black Jack said, laughing.
So he agreed.
He hopped onto Black Jack’s back, clinging onto him, “Black Jack, I knew you’re the best, unlike Bai Jue.”
Bai Jue lazily glanced at them and scoffed “Huh!”.
He would rather be stingy than stay up late to finish summer homework.
At night, Black Jack sat at the desk, burning the midnight oil, working on the summer homework. Luo Xiaobai had already fallen asleep on the big bed not far away.
Before falling asleep, he thought: having Black Jack is indeed a wonderful thing!
Suddenly, the scene in front of him disappeared, and he fell into darkness. He could faintly hear someone calling his name. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t open his heavy eyelids.
That was Black Jack’s voice!
