Chapter 53

After confirming their relationship, the two of them interacted naturally yet unnaturally. The natural part was that after the relationship was made clear, some words could be expressed more naturally, while the unnatural part was that every time their eyes met and every time their skin touched, it seemed different.

The two of them walked aimlessly along the path, hand in hand. Ren Qiao'an didn't know whether they were heading to the campus or to Jinxi's house, because they had walked back and forth several times, and neither of them wanted to say goodbye.

Jin Xi suddenly said, "Ren Qiao'an, I like you."

Jin Xi let Ren Qiao Yuan hold her hand and walked slowly, casually, and without any purpose.

I really want to live like this forever.

The corners of Ren Qiao'an's mouth never fell, "Yeah, I know."

"Oh? You know how to say it?" Jin Xi looked at Ren Qiao'an with a smile.

Ren Qiao'an curled his lips and said, "When we first spoke on the phone, you chatted with me and sang for me, I knew you must be different to me. Otherwise, why would you come to me to confide in me?"

Jin Xi smiled, "Oh, then what song did I sing?" If Jin Xi told Ren Qiao'an that she was just in a bad mood and wanted to find a stranger to confide in, and Ren Qiao'an happened to be her CP, Jin Xi would have chosen Ren Qiao'an.

"Mercury Chronicles." Ren Qiao'an remembered it clearly. "You even cried. Most people don't cry in front of strangers, so..." This was when her heart first beat. Ren Qiao'an raised his head and said proudly, "I knew you were interested in me."

Jin Xi said angrily, "Nonsense." She didn't have such an idea at that time.

Ren Qiaoan continued confidently, "The second time was in Foshan. You were cold to everyone else, but you took the initiative to hold my hand. Later, when I found out you were Guiqulaixi, I knew you had bad intentions towards me."

"Pfft..." Jin Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Ren Qiao'an, I find you're quite narcissistic."

"Hehe..." When Ren Qiao'an gets carried away with pride, he tends to talk nonsense. "Then tell me yourself."

It was true that Jinxi's first heartbeat happened in Foshan. It was that night, the moment their eyes met across the balcony.

"I won't tell you." Jin Xi reached out and tapped Ren Qiao'an's nose, "I'll let you get carried away."

"Tsk~ Who cares~" Ren Qiao'an turned his head and saw a triumphant smile on Jin Xi's face from the corner of his eye. Ren Qiao'an leaned forward, closing the distance between them, staring into Jin Xi's eyes, and said, "Anyway, she's mine~"

The sudden closeness made Jin Xi's face turn red. She instinctively took a step back, but was pulled back by Ren Qiao'an. "Why are you hiding? I won't kiss you." Ren Qiao'an hummed in dissatisfaction. When Jin Xi heard this, her face turned even redder and her ears became hot.

"Let's go, I'll take you home." Ren Qiao'an pulled Jin Xi and continued walking. Her heart was pounding. She wanted to kiss him, but she didn't have the courage.

Jin Xi blushed as she followed behind Ren Qiao'an obediently, like a little wife. Why could she never stand Ren Qiao'an's teasing? "Ren Qiao'an."

"Hmm?" Jin Xi called her in a soft voice, causing Ren Qiao'an's heart to skip a beat.

"That time, did you do it on purpose..."

"What?" Ren Qiao'an didn't look back at Jin Xi, but continued to walk slowly. "What do you mean that time? Which time?"

Jin Xi looked at the back of Ren Qiao'an's head. That scene and the brief kiss tonight kept interweaving in Jin Xi's mind, causing her to suddenly wonder, "Ren Qiao'an, have you ever had a girlfriend before?"

"No." Ren Qiao'an answered without thinking.

Jin Xi murmured, "Really?"

Ren Qiao'an said frankly, "How about you find me an ex-girlfriend?"

Along the way, the two chatted about some random things. When Jinxi returned home, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, but she was still the first one back. He Xiaoxiao was still out playing. Jinxi was a little worried and sent a message to ask about it. He Xiaoxiao replied, "I'll be back later, you rest first." Jinxi felt relieved. He was such an adult and there were other people with him, so she didn't need to worry about him. However, when Jinxi finished washing up and lay down on the bed, there were several more unread messages on her phone. It was from Ren Qiao'an.

You Ran Jian Nan Shan: Trash, are you checking the group?

Youran Jiannanshan: They are so funny. By the way, is that Tangtang the durian?

Leisurely seeing Nanshan: How do you say it?

Youran Jiannanshan: How about we make it official!

Leisurely seeing Nanshan: Is it good?

Jin Xi opened the group chat in confusion and looked through the chat history for a long time before she understood what Ren Qiaoyuan was talking about. Jin Xi thought about it and typed a few words with her fingertips.

Jin Xi was lying in bed, holding her phone, chatting with Ren Qiao'an, checking the group messages from time to time, and laughing from time to time, feeling very happy. Jin Xi didn't even know when she fell asleep until there was a knock on the door the next morning.

"Who is it?" Jin Xi struggled to get up and checked the time. It was already 10:16. As the knocks on the door became more intense, Jin Xi casually put on a piece of clothing, walked to the entrance, and looked through the peephole. "Xiao Xiao?"

Jin Xi opened the door and a listless woman appeared before her. "You're back just now?"

"Yeah." He Xiaoxiao responded weakly, walked into the room, and stumbled onto the sofa.

"What's wrong with you? Have you been playing all night?" Jin Xi walked to the dining table, poured a glass of water and handed it to He Xiaoxiao who was slumped on the sofa.

"Thank you." He Xiaoxiao's voice was a little hoarse. She looked up at Jin Xi and asked, "Are you really with Ren Qiao'an?"

Jin Xi hesitated but didn't deny it. "...Yeah." Since Jin Xi had the guts to announce it in the group, she considered confessing it to He Xiaoxiao. "Did you know that Ren Qiao'an was in the group?"

"...Yeah, I asked her." Ren Qiao'an didn't hide it from He Xiaoxiao. In fact, she had already noticed that something was wrong between the two of them, but He Xiaoxiao couldn't believe that Jin Xi actually...actually turned gay? It would be a lie for He Xiaoxiao not to be surprised, but what happened last night... caused her to see these messages in the group this morning and she didn't know how to react.

"Are you serious?" He Xiaoxiao's face was unusually serious and solemn.

Jin Xi nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, I like her." This was the first time Jin Xi had truly taken her feelings seriously.

"...That's great." He Xiaoxiao smiled. "Then congratulations on finding your partner. By the way, I'm going back to City A tomorrow."

Jin Xi always felt that He Xiaoxiao's state was a little strange, "So soon, isn't school starting yet?"

"Oh, there are still many friends in City A waiting for me to date~"

"Really?"

He Xiaoxiao came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Jin Xi always felt that something happened to He Xiaoxiao that night, which made him leave in a hurry, but He Xiaoxiao was unwilling to say, and Jin Xi had no way of knowing. After a few days, Jin Xi forgot about it.

After all, she still had a relationship to discuss. Compared to Ren Qiao'an, other people and other things seemed less important. Jin Xi had never considered herself to be a love-brained person, because her previous relationships had all been sober and boring, but this time was different. With Ren Qiao'an, she was moved, shy, and blind.

However, Ren Qiao'an had come to school early on a mission. Not long after the two of them confirmed their relationship, and still yearning to be together constantly, Ren Qiao'an was called away by the teacher to help out. The only time they could see each other was at night. After school started, Jin Xi was busy again.

The author has something to say:

I'm considering whether to write a secondary CP, because this story is almost reaching the expected word count, and if I can finish the main CP's campus story, it might be enough 23333. As for this secondary CP of a scumbag top and a scumbag bottom, does anyone want to read it? If you don't want to read it, deduct 1! ! !
