Chapter 143 It turns out I like men

At the school.

Jiang Yi rushed back to his dormitory after finishing the club's regular meeting.

The reason was simple: someone asked Jiang Yi in their class group chat what was going on in their dorm and whether someone had really had an accident.

Even more outrageous, some people asked if that person was Jiang Yi.

This left Jiang Yi completely dumbfounded.

Something happened? What happened?

What happened to their dorm room?

Why are people even talking about this in the class group chat?

Some of the other members of the same group also heard about this and told Jiang Yi the rumors they had overheard.

"My friend lives in that building. He said he saw someone collapse in your dorm and be carried out. Who lives in your dorm?"

Jiang Yi was stunned. "What did you say?"

He just didn't go back to his dorm at noon, how could such a big thing have happened!

Jiang Yi stopped talking to the man and quickened his pace to get back to his dormitory.

As soon as I arrived at the dormitory building, I bumped into Xu Zishi, who was returning from the library.

The other person also looked rushed.

"Jiang Yi!"

"Old Xu!"

"You...you've heard about it too, haven't you?" Xu Zishi asked before he could catch his breath.

"I heard that only Xiaolu and Yezi are in the dorm? Did something happen to Yezi?"

Jiang Yi guessed that Lu Yinzhao might not be in the dormitory.

When Lu Yinzhao doesn't have classes in the morning, he usually goes out to take photos or goes to the photography association.

“I also think it’s Yezi! Does he have some hidden illness that he didn’t tell us? I see it’s all over the group chat, saying that a student from our 506 dorm has died.”

"Pah! Pah! Pah! What unlucky words! They're the ones who are dead!"

"Exactly! What nonsense are you spreading!"

"Stop talking and let's go up and take a look!"

"good!"

Without further ado, the two took two steps at a time, climbing the stairs faster than they usually did when going down.

They ran up to the fifth floor and found that their dormitory door was not closed properly, so they rushed in one after another.

"Hey? You guys are back? Didn't you say you were busy at noon?"

Song Shuye was mopping the floor with his back turned. He had accidentally spilled water earlier. While he was mopping, he heard a noise behind him, turned around, and saw two people appearing in front of him, panting.

Jiang Yi: "..."

Xu Zishi: "..."

Song Shuye: "What's wrong with you guys?"

"We should be asking you what's wrong!" the two said urgently.

Before Bian Ji left, Song Shuye was busy taking care of Lu Yinzhao and didn't look at his phone at all.

Seeing that the two looked a little off as they hurried back, he subconsciously took out his phone to check.

"Holy crap!" Song Shuye's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

He quickly explained, "Lu Yinzhao had a fever, and his brother called. I told him what happened, and then his brother drove over to pick him up and take him to the hospital... How can these people be spreading such nonsense..."

Looking at those outrageous rumors, Song Shuye cursed, "What the hell is this?! I have to debunk these rumors right now!"

Jiang Yi and Xu Zishi finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Song Shuye's account of the situation.

They were terrified on their way back.

Although she had doubts about what was said in the group chat, she was still very worried about her roommate and rushed back.

Xu Zishi didn't even bother to check the information.

Seeing Song Shuye's fingers frantically tapping on his phone and skillfully navigating between various groups, Jiang Yi and Xu Zishi decided not to cause any trouble.

However, the two were still surprised and said, "You kid... how come you have so many groups?"

"Is that a lot? Only about eighty. I used to have over a hundred, but I had to give up some later. Otherwise, where do you think all the gossip you hear comes from?"

"..."

Jiang Yi and Xu Zishi thought to themselves, "It's good that we have someone like Song Shuye in our dorm."

Otherwise, if those people spread rumors everywhere, it might become a story that everyone in their dorm has died by tomorrow.

That would be terrible!

Half an hour later, Song Shuye wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Okay, everything's been explained. Even our counselor contacted me to ask about the situation... Oh right, I also need to ask Lu Yinzhao for leave. I'll call their counselor now."

Song Shuye was practically the "Minister of Foreign Affairs" of their dormitory. With him around, Jiang Yi and Xu Zishi felt much more at ease.

Then they came to their senses.

"You just said... that it was Xiaolu's brother who picked him up, was it that person?"

When Jiang Yi asked this, Song Shuye naturally understood what he meant and nodded vigorously, "Yes, that's him! I saw him up close today, and he's incredibly handsome in person! He's also so kind to Lu Yinzhao. Why don't I have a brother like that?"

"Huh? 'Ji' came here in person? Aren't celebrities supposed to be very busy?" Xu Zishi looked completely bewildered. Why did he have to go to the library at noon today?

He has never had the opportunity to get close to a celebrity before.

“No matter how busy you are, you can’t neglect your younger brother, right? I can tell from their relationship that the two brothers have a good relationship. With Brother Bian Ji taking care of Lu Yinzhao, we can rest assured.”

"I always thought the path was indestructible, but it turns out that everyone gets sick, so I should take better care of my health."

"Poor little Lu, I hope he gets better soon."

...

The "little rascal" that his roommate kept mentioning was now sleeping peacefully in the soft bed.

After taking the antipyretic, his body temperature gradually dropped to 38 degrees Celsius.

Afterwards, the family doctor gave Lu Yinzhao an IV drip. The boy didn't react much when he received the injection, which shows that this time the illness really struck like a landslide.

"Don't worry, he'll feel better after these three IV drips. Luckily, it's just a common cold and fever, and we got him to the doctor in time. Just make sure he gets plenty of rest during this time, doesn't overexert himself, wears more clothes during the changing seasons, avoids getting chilled, and eats a light diet."

After Meng Chen finished speaking, Bian Ji nodded slightly, "I will be careful."

From the moment Bian Ji received Lu Yinzhao's message, he felt annoyed.

He felt that he hadn't paid enough attention to Lu Yinzhao's health lately because he was too busy with work.

Lu Yinzhao would only report good news to him on the phone or via WeChat, never bad news.

Bian Ji didn't actually know whether Lu Yinzhao was eating or sleeping well at school.

For a moment, he even considered having Lu Yinzhao move in directly, wanting to take care of her personally.

But that would obviously disrespect Lu Yinzhao's wishes. Dormitory life in college is a precious experience that will become a lifelong memory.

Bian Ji didn't want to become a domineering "patriarch".

and……

Given his current feelings for Lu Yinzhao...

If Lu Yinzhao really moves here, he fears things will become even more uncontrollable.

The little thing hasn't figured things out yet, and Bian Ji doesn't want to deliberately guide it.

Lu Yinzhao's life should be decided by himself.

"elder brother……"

The boy on the bed was talking in his sleep again. Bian Ji noticed the boy's slightly dry lips, helped him up, and fed him some warm water.

The moment the water entered his mouth, Lu Yinzhao felt his long-parched throat being moistened, and he subconsciously opened his mouth, wanting to draw in more moisture.

Suddenly, the boy trembled, shook a few times, and then returned to normal.

"What's wrong? Are you still cold?" Bian Ji asked, putting down her water glass and pulling the blanket up a little.

Lu Yinzhao opened his eyes at this moment, his pupils fixed on the ceiling, then glanced at Bian Ji sitting next to him.

"elder brother?"

Upon hearing this address, Bian Ji knew that the little thing had regained consciousness.

"Hmm, why are you looking at me like that? I told you I'm not leaving." Bian Ji placed his palm on Lu Yinzhao's forehead.

The coolness of her palms brought a sense of comfort to Lu Yinzhao's burning forehead.

So, the feeling that someone was carrying him earlier wasn't a dream?

"Are you delirious with fever? Aren't you going to go back to sleep?"

Bian Ji said with a hint of amusement.

Lu Yinzhao seems unusually clingy today. Is it just because she's sick?

Lu Yinzhao was dazzled by Bian Ji's light laugh, and his Adam's apple bobbed nervously twice.

Although her mind was still hazy, Lu Yinzhao was unusually clear-headed at this moment.

Just now, something unexpected happened to him... something incredibly embarrassing and awkward.

Ever since Lu Yinzhao developed a fever, he has been having all sorts of bizarre dreams, and every single one of them is related to Bian Ji.

Just now, at the moment Bian Ji fed him water, what he dreamed about was...

Kissing a certain man.

In his dream, he kept his eyes closed, trying to see who the person he was kissing was, but all he could see was a cloud of white mist.

But he could clearly hear the familiar voices around him.

The person's voice was exactly the same as Bian Ji's; while kissing him, they kept calling him "Zhao Zhao".

That's impossible.

Bian Ji never called him "Zhao Zhao," but only "Lu Yin Zhao," and that's how it's always been since he was a child.

Dreams are all fake.

But it was because of this dream that he felt the stickiness in his pants when he woke up.

That's why I was initially confused.

He was so ashamed that he wanted to crawl into a hole, but the thick blanket pressed down on him, and he dared not move, for fear that Bian Ji would discover something was wrong.

Why is this happening?

Has he been indifferent to worldly desires for so long that his body hasn't been able to find relief...? That's why...

Even so, the object of his dreams was a man.

Despite his reluctance to admit it, Lu Yinzhao could not escape the fact that he had sexual urges towards men.

He's not straight; his sexual orientation is male.

In a short period of time, Lu Yinzhao needed to process a large amount of information, which naturally resulted in the appearance of the boy being "confused" in Bian Ji's eyes.

Lu Yinzhao was still trying to process what had happened, and her mind was racing, trying to figure out how to find a chance to change into a clean pair of pants.

I can't stay in bed like this forever, can I?

Lu Yinzhao's toes, hidden under the covers, were clenched tightly; the more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt.

He thought that no one in the world could be more embarrassed than he was right now.

However, he was unaware that the most embarrassing thing was yet to come.

"Brother, I need to use the restroom, and... my clothes are soaked with sweat, could you get me a clean set so I can change?"

Bian Ji saw that the last bottle of medicine on the boy's head was almost finished, so he came over and asked Meng Chen to remove the needle for him.

"Okay, I'll help you to the restroom. Your hand isn't working well, so I'll help you..."

"No, no need, I can manage on my own. I feel much better now." Lu Yinzhao dared not let Bian Ji follow her inside.

"Then take it easy." Bian Ji said this, but still escorted Lu Yinzhao to the bathroom door.

After Lu Yinzhao carried the clean clothes inside, he immediately closed the door, took off his pants, and did it all in one smooth motion.

The pants, which could serve as "evidence of the crime," were nowhere to be hidden.

Bian Ji's bathroom was too clean; throwing it in the trash would only make it more noticeable, but carrying it on his person... he felt it was rather lewd.

Moreover, Bian Ji will definitely take stock of his dirty clothes and wash them soon, so if he suddenly asks about it, he will have an even harder time answering.

Perhaps his brain had really been fried, because Lu Yinzhao didn't have time to think and went straight to the sink to wash his dirty pants himself.

That way, if Bian Ji asks about it later, he can say: "It was just something I did."

The clueless boy hadn't yet noticed that the door had been pushed open from the outside.

Bian Ji was worried that Lu Yinzhao had fainted in the toilet because the other party hadn't gone out for so long.

To everyone's surprise, when the door opened, they saw the boy washing his pants.

Bian Ji frowned and said, "You just had an injection removed from the back of your hand, so don't get it wet."

These words, like heavenly music, terrified Lu Yinzhao.

With a sudden tremor, the underwear fell into the pool with a "splash".

Bian Ji's eyes flashed, and then he looked at the boy with some surprise.

“Lu Yinzhao, you…”

"..." Lu Yinzhao stood there dumbfounded, unsure whether to explain first or destroy the evidence.

Although he is standing upright now, he has actually been gone for a while.
