Chapter 11 The Rival's Pervert

The next few days passed quickly.

By the time Xie Changyu had some free time, it was already Friday.

Gu Qingjia hasn't returned to the dormitory in the past few days, but Qi Yan has started moving some things in intermittently, looking like he's planning to stay for a long time.

Xie Changyu has been busy with various assignments and the upcoming sports meet this week. He signed up for the men's 1500-meter event, and he goes to the track to run for a while every evening at seven o'clock these days to practice his lung capacity in advance so as not to be embarrassed if he can't finish the race.

Qi Yan also joined his evening run, ostensibly to keep him on track and prevent him from slacking off, and Xie Changyu, feeling he needed a supervisor, agreed.

Today is Friday, and I only had one class in the afternoon before it was over.

Xie Changyu carried a black backpack on one shoulder, wearing a white and blue striped shirt. His hair was pure black, and he looked at Qi Yan with bright eyes, his tone excited: "Am I going to the gym with you tomorrow? Is it far?"

He wasn't really looking forward to it at first, but he'd been too busy this week and hadn't played many games or had any other entertainment. Plus, he'd been working out lately and wanted to give it a try.

Qi Yan stood beside him, his physique robust and muscular. The same height made Xie Changyu look even thinner. With a smile in his eyes, he replied, "Someone will pick us up tomorrow. It's not far."

"That's good." Xie Changyu nodded, thinking it would be even better if someone could pick him up.

Qi Yan turned her head to look at him and asked, "We're going to two places, one is my family's gym, and the other is a gym with a personal trainer. Which one do you want to go to?"

Xie Changyu hadn't expected to have another option. He was impressed by the other person's generosity and then hesitated for a while. However, he didn't hesitate for long. He had never liked crowded places, so he chose the first option, "Let's go to your house."

Qi Yan moved his arm, a knowing look on his face, "Okay."

When Xie Changyu returned to the dormitory, he saw Gu Qingjia again. The man was sitting there with a cold face. Xie Changyu looked up and saw that Gu Qingjia had dyed his hair red.

The atmosphere in the dorm room was freezing. He looked at the two cold faces and wondered if they had argued again. Oh right, these two were rivals in love, so it was normal for them to argue. Something must have happened and they were jealous.

Moreover, he had never seen the two of them get along peacefully. Since enrolling in school, the two of them had rarely interacted calmly.

Normal, normal.

When gods fight, mortals suffer. Not wanting to get involved, Xie Changyu closed the door and remained silent, appearing very quiet. Qi Yan, standing to the side, raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, somewhat amused.

Gu Qingjia's bright red hair made his eyebrows and eyes appear even more intense and flamboyant. With a slight upturn of his eyes, he had a touch of bewitching charm. He caught sight of Xie Changyu the moment the dormitory door opened, but he didn't say anything. He had just angered Xie Changyu last time, and he was still holding a grudge.

Jiang Yue, that idiot, just said that his red hair makes him look like a young, trendy guy. This guy is clearly just jealous of his good looks. He's so handsome, what do those young, trendy guys have to compare with him? It's ridiculous.

Although he dyed his hair red because he lost a game, Gu Qingjia was quite satisfied with it; at least his handsome face could pull it off.

He thought to himself with satisfaction, but his face grew colder and colder. Why hadn't Xie Changyu come to apologize to him yet?

Looking at the dormitory now, Xie Changyu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. It was much more comfortable when she lived with someone else. Now, although everyone was there, their relationship seemed strained, and the atmosphere was very unpleasant.

Logically, Qi Yan and Jiang Yue should have a good relationship, but he's actually closer to me. Maybe it's a case of like attracts like; the relationships among the wealthy are just so complicated...

Xie Changyu put down his schoolbag and felt a sense of relief. He had finished his homework ahead of schedule, so he had nothing to do on the weekend and could relax.

He stretched and felt refreshed.

The dormitory quieted down for a moment. It was only a little before four o'clock, and it wasn't mealtime yet, so Xie Changyu decided to take a nap and rest.

He took off his shoes and was about to get into bed when his hand was grabbed again. Yes, he used the word "again." Xie Changyu had already stepped onto the bed. He looked at Gu Qingjia speechlessly. Good heavens, he didn't even look at him directly.

Gu Qingjia had been maintaining a cool and aloof demeanor, waiting for someone to strike up a conversation. But when that person wanted to go to bed with him, he impulsively grabbed the other person, only to regret it afterward.

He simply turned his head to the side, refusing to look at Xie Changyu, but his hand remained tightly clasped. Xie Changyu tried to pull away, but the grip tightened. He then said directly, "Men shouldn't touch each other. Why are you holding me like this?"

Gu Qingjia got angry and immediately turned his head away: "Do you think I want to pull you? I haven't even settled the score with you for making me angry last time!"

Xie Changyu looked puzzled: "Huh?"

What did he do to upset him?

Gu Qingjia got even angrier seeing the other person's completely oblivious expression, her eyes practically spitting fire. "You and that idiot Jiang Yue took a bath together, and you still told me about men not being allowed to touch each other! I don't like men!"

Xie Changyu felt like he understood, but then again, he didn't. He was even more confused. "So what did I do to upset you?"

Is it simply because he refused their invitation last time? That can't be right.

But Gu Qingjia's reaction confirmed his unrealistic guess: "You actually rejected me last time... I was very angry."

His tone was low and somewhat dangerous.

This is so troublesome.

Xie Changyu thought to himself, he hadn't expected the other person to be such a petty person. He said indifferently, "That's it?"

He felt a little tired. Why was this person suddenly so childish? He wasn't like this before. It's not like he always agreed to go out and play.

He looked down at the bright red-haired boy and wondered if his personality had changed along with the color. He had looked so steady and mature before, but now he looked like he was only three years old.

"You took a bath with Jiang Yue."

Gu Qingjia stared straight at him.

Xie Changyu instantly realized that Gu Qingjia had used him as a tool in her argument with Jiang Yue.

He subconsciously looked at Jiang Yue... Sure enough, the man was looking over. Of course, the man beneath him was muttering so loudly that everyone probably heard him.

He shook his hand, signaling the other person to release his wrist. As soon as the pressure eased, he immediately climbed onto the bed, leaving only his head showing, and then replied, "I don't like men either, don't worry."

The two were talking at cross purposes, and their communication was ineffective.

Gu Qingjia and Xie Changyu stared at each other, neither of them saying a word.

Xie Changyu pursed his lips and gave him a perfunctory smile.

What are you looking at?

"I'm going to sleep," he said.

Qi Yan spoke up at this moment, acting as if nothing had just happened, and said with a smile, "Then you should go to sleep. You're going for a run later tonight."

Then he looked at Gu Qingjia and said in a light tone, "If Young Master Gu is not used to living in the dormitory, he can move out. With such boundless energy, we can't handle it."

Gu Qingjia snorted coldly, his expression unchanged after being spoken to like that. He adjusted his posture and looked at Qi Yan with disdain: "What business is it of yours if I talk to Xie Changyu?"

Qi Yan wasn't a very good-tempered person either; he just restrained himself a bit in front of Xie Changyu. However, those words didn't really hurt him.

He looked at Xie Changyu, who was waiting to sleep on the bed, and held back. He tapped the table, making a few dull sounds, and said in a light tone, "People need to rest. Let's stop making a fuss."

"Gu Qingjia, I want to sleep."

Xie Changyu couldn't help but speak up, otherwise they would start arguing if they continued talking. All he wanted to do right now was sleep.

Gu Qingjia quieted down, and after a few seconds, she said in a muffled voice, "Fine, you can go to sleep now, considering..."

Why is he being so easy to talk to again? Xie Changyu thought groggily, and then drifted off to sleep peacefully in the quiet.

I woke up naturally two hours later.

Soon it would be time for its usual run. Xie Changyu ate some snacks that Qi Yan had given her to stave off hunger, then changed into her running shoes and got ready.

"Let's go, let's go, it's time."

"Okay." Qi Yan replied. He was wearing a white tank top and black shorts, his muscles were clearly defined, and his face was quite handsome.

"Where...are you going?"

Xie Changyu looked at Gu Qingjia, who had returned to normal and was very curious about them, and replied while putting on her sports watch, "Running? Aren't you participating in the sports meet?"

"There's such a thing?" Gu Qingjia was puzzled at first, then seemed to remember something and suddenly realized, "Oh, I don't need to participate."

Xie Changyu cast an envious glance. He was the only one in their dorm who didn't have to participate in the sports meet, but compared to the other two who participated voluntarily, he was completely forced to participate, otherwise he would lose credits...

He worked incredibly hard for the sake of his credits.

"I'll go with you."

Upon hearing this, Xie Changyu didn't want to respond anymore, wondering what kind of crazy thing would happen if he refused.

"No need, I'll stay with him," Qi Yan said calmly.

Then Xie Changyu was pulled away by Qi Yan, giving Gu Qingjia no time to react, which made him laugh in anger.

Only Gu Qingjia and Jiang Yue were left in the dorm room again; they had already eaten outside while Xie Changyu was sleeping. Gu Qingjia wasn't really in the mood to go out, so she simply picked up her phone to pass the time.

"Did you just tell him I like men?"

Gu Qingjia stopped looking at his phone, turned his head to look at the person in front of him with a questioning look, and said indifferently, "Did I say something wrong? Don't think I don't know what you've done."

Jiang Yue sneered: "If I remember correctly, someone confessed their feelings to a man not long ago."

Gu Qingjia's expression was unfriendly: "It's just a game punishment. I don't like men. Do you think I'm as perverted as you, stealing men's socks?"

"Is this the kind of heir the Jiang family has produced? Doing such disgraceful things." His tone was contemptuous, clearly showing his disgust.

Jiang Yue raised her lips, the curve of which was quite indifferent. "So this is what you mean."

Gu Qingjia tapped the screen, her tone casual, "Although I look down on your behavior, don't worry, for Xie Changyu's mental health, I won't tell him for now. But if there's a next time, I'll consider it."

"How he views you then is beyond my control."

He looked up at the other person and saw that he still had that cold, aloof, and lifeless look. He calmly said, "You won't."
