Chapter 35: It's Pitch Black, I'm Going to Spit It Out

After their affair was made public within the team, there was no need to hide it anymore. In front of his teammates, Tang Ruining became more and more unscrupulous.

At first, Li Xi was not used to it. Even though Tang Ruining would not do anything excessive, just hugging her waist, holding her hand, or kissing her lightly, Li Xi still felt a little embarrassed. He also had another concern. If Tang Ruining developed a habit, he was afraid that he would unconsciously make intimate gestures in public.

But he was indeed soft-hearted towards Tang Ruining. He wanted to speak several times, but swallowed his words back when he met Tang Ruining's eyes. When he came close to her, he couldn't help but close his eyes, letting him get more aggressive and kissing her longer and longer each time.

Anyway, the other people have also practiced to the point where they can be invisible. Needless to say, Wu Xingye hasn't spoken to them privately for a long time. Rong Xiao only complained about them in the past, and he was too lazy to tease them later.

At first, Yuan Zhiyan was the one who reacted the most. Of course, after all, he was the one who was completely out of the situation. The first time he returned to the dormitory, he saw two people hugging each other on the sofa. He screamed "Ah!" and covered his eyes and shouted "Can you guys go back to your room?!"

"We were just chatting." Li Wei explained.

"You are still treating me like a fool!" Yuan Zhiyan moved his hand away. The two men sat on the sofa and looked at him seriously, but Tang Ruining's arm was still around Jiang Yilan's neck.

"What kind of nice person would chat like this?"

They were really wronged this time. Tang Ruining just hugged his neck, leaning his whole body towards him, and the two of them were talking very close to each other. From the angle Yuan Zhiyan entered, it looked like Tang Ruining was pressing someone down on the sofa and kissing him.

Tang Ruining remained calm: "Yes, I'm just doing what you want, don't disturb us."

"This sofa, I still want to sit on this sofa..." Suddenly his momentum weakened. Yuan Zhiyan felt embarrassed for them. He scratched his face and decided to leave, turning around and going to the kitchen.

Turning around again, Tang Ruining saw that Jiang Yilan's face was a little red, and he looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, so he couldn't help but kiss his earlobe.

"This is still not good. If Zhiyan really misunderstands that we are on the sofa..." Tang Ruining kissed him from the earlobe to the cheek and the corner of his mouth. His voice was interrupted. Li Xi kissed him back a few times and said intermittently: "Just, I really won't sit on the sofa anymore."

"Well, I'll explain to him later. I was just joking." Tang Ruining lingered on his lips, speaking vaguely, obviously nonchalantly.

It was indeed a joke just now, but now Tang Ruining looked at Jiang Yilan's lips, which were moist and red from his sucking, and the way he closed his eyes and kissed him back while talking to him, and he suddenly became distracted.

As if the hand saw through his thoughts, he stopped his body from pressing forward. “Go and tell him now, or he won’t even dare to come out of the kitchen.”

"He would love to sleep in the kitchen."

"No way, Zhiyan has been controlling his diet recently."

"Oh, you know so much." Tang Ruining said expressionlessly, "How come I didn't know he was in control."

Li Xi smiled, gently pushed him away, and pecked his lips, which were stretched into a line, "I'll go and tell him."

In the kitchen, Yuan Zhiyan was staring at the open refrigerator.

"What are you doing?"

"I am quenching my thirst by looking at the plums." Yuan Zhiyan said in a voice full of conviction.

"The more I look at it, the hungrier I get." Li Xi said, helping him close the refrigerator door. Yuan Zhiyan didn't look at him immediately.

Li Wei guessed what he was thinking and got to the point: "Ruining and I really weren't doing anything just now. He was just joking with you."

Yuan Zhiyan also knew that he was exaggerating. The two of them were wearing their clothes properly, what could they be doing?

"Oh..." Yuan Zhiyan turned around and looked at him, leaning his back against the refrigerator, "I just haven't gotten used to it yet. I'm not like them. They already knew it."

There was no sarcasm in his tone, but instead he sounded a little aggrieved.

He still had some resentment. Although he was usually very open-minded, Yuan Zhiyan always felt that he had a very good relationship with Jiang Yilan. He liked Jiang Yilan very much and was very happy that Jiang Yilan was good to him.

The same goes for Tang Ruining. Even though Tang Ruining is harsh to him, and since Jiang Yilan has a good relationship with the two of them, Yuan Zhiyan and Tang Ruining have been bickering with each other more and more often. But this is actually a manifestation of a greater sense of security. He feels very relaxed in front of Jiang Yilan and Yuan Zhiyan.

And because of Jiang Yilan, Tang Ruining also became more "human", making Yuan Zhiyan feel that he is more approachable than before.

He has had the feeling these past few days that his good friends don't really care about him. Although he also feels that this kind of thinking is very much like that of a junior high school student and not "adult" at all, he has accepted it. He is just that kind of person and may never be able to become a mature adult. He really does feel a little sad about this kind of thing.

Yuan Zhiyan wanted to say, "Then I'll go take a shower first." Before he could finish his words, he heard Jiang Yilan say, "Zhiyan, Ruining and I are not deliberately hiding this from you."

Yuan Zhiyan was stunned, he thought he didn't show it, and he was chatting and laughing normally with Jiang Yilan these days, so how did he get to know?

"We two, um, maybe we're not ready to tell anyone yet? So we didn't tell anyone, and we were 'outed' unexpectedly." Li Xi smiled helplessly, "Besides, it's really embarrassing to have a relationship within the team. Rather than holding hands and announcing to you that 'we're together', I still hope that you will find out one day."

Yuan Zhiyan curled his lips, "I'm really so slow..."

"Oh, yes." Li Xi sighed, "So if there is anything in the future, I'd better tell you directly."

"Really?"

Li Wei nodded, "Really."

Yuan Zhiyan's mood instantly improved. He realized that he didn't need a perfect explanation. Jiang Yilan could actually read his thoughts and explain to him. This was beyond his expectations. Although he felt a little embarrassed to be seen through, he was more happy.

He clung to Li Xi again like before.

Tang Ruining appeared at the right time, pulled the person he was tagging into his arms, and separated him from Yuan Zhiyan, "Let's keep things separate. Don't get too close to someone who has a boyfriend."

Yuan Zhiyan's attack was in vain, and he angrily said, "You eavesdropped on my conversation with Brother Lan!"

"I wasn't eavesdropping. I was standing at the door the whole time, but you didn't notice."

"You!" She was shocked by his self-righteousness again. She looked at Jiang Yilan again. He saw a speechless but indulgent look on his face. He leaned on Tang Ruining without moving.

Yuan Zhiyan was about to cry but had no tears when he acted out to Jiang Yilan: "Have you decided it's him? Will you not think about it again..."

Tang Ruining didn't waste time talking to him and took the man away to the room.

When passing by Tang Ruining's room on her way back from the kitchen, Li Xi found his door was closed. Suddenly, she remembered that she had only been to Tang Ruining's room that first time. She had given him egg tarts to ask for peace but was kicked out. She was faced with that closed door.

Li Xi pulled Tang Ruining aside and suggested, "I've never slept in your room."

Tang Ruining stopped and said, "My bed is not as big as yours, and it is not as comfortable to sleep on as yours."

"What's the use of being big? You're still squeezing me to sleep."

……Too.

The two of them entered Tang Ruining's bedroom. Tang Ruining himself rarely slept here, and the atmosphere in the room was not as warm as Jiang Yilan's.

Even when Li Xi pressed the switch on the wall, he discovered that the ceiling light was broken.

Tang Ruining didn't know. The last time he turned on this ceiling light was the last time. He didn't know exactly when it broke.

The bedroom door was closed when they came in. The room was very dark. Li Wei wanted to ask Tang Ruining to turn on the desk lamp, but Tang Ruining did not give him the opportunity. He groped in the dark and pushed him down on the bed and covered his mouth.

Li Xi found that Tang Ruining was very excited, not sure whether it was because he was in his own room or because it was pitch dark.

The curtains had good light-blocking properties, leaving only a small gap for some light to leak in. Li Xi opened her eyes wide, but could hardly see anything. She could only feel Tang Ruining's intensive kisses and rapid breathing.

At the same time, it was very quiet. There was even soundproofing cotton on the walls of Tang Ruining's room. He could neither see nor hear anything else, and all his senses were focused.

The soft touch lingered on his waist and suddenly bit that piece of flesh. Li Xi shuddered violently in reaction, but did not dare to struggle, fearing that he would do something bad and bite harder. He could only wait for him to let him go.

But his reaction was amusing. Tang Ruining loosened his mouth and bit it again, grinding it a few times and then loosening it. After repeating this several times, Li Xi finally couldn't stand it anymore, grabbed his hair and pulled him away, cursing, "Enough!"

"Your waist is so sensitive." Tang Ruining laughed, and the breath from his words sprayed onto his waist again. It was unknown whether it was intentional.

"Who isn't ticklish..."

The lips and tongue moved down and wrapped around it. Gradually, impurities appeared in the darkness that Li Xi was looking at. The impurities kept expanding and shrinking, as if in a regular pattern. After many times, Li Xi suddenly closed her eyes and bit her lips hard.

A layer of orange covered the eyelids. Tang Ruining turned on the desk lamp, which was a very warm light. Li Xi slowly opened his eyes and saw the room clearly.

Hearing the swallowing sound, Li Wei hurriedly sat up, stared at him blankly, and stretched out her hand in front of him: "Spit it out quickly."

Tang Ruining had nothing to spit out, so he said nonchalantly, "Swallow it."

“…”

Li Xi's face, which had just begun to calm down, became hot again. Now he just wanted to go back to his room.
