Chapter 28 The Rival in Love: Gu Qingjia, the Pervert

Wen Shu felt the teacup was a little too hot to handle, and he took a deep breath, "How can such a small amount of tea be so expensive!"

His eyes were filled with surprise. He looked around but still couldn't see anything unusual, so he simply gave up, took another sip of tea, and said, "It's really delicious."

“A box costs 500,000, and a cup of tea is worth only a few thousand,” Wen Shu explained.

"That's quite expensive," Xie Changyu muttered, taking a sniff of the tea. "Then I'll have to drink more, because I won't be able to drink such expensive tea again in the future."

Wen Shu's eyes flickered slightly at his words, and she asked casually, "You like to drink tea?"

"It's okay, I didn't drink much. I usually drink a lot of beverages."

Upon hearing this, Wen Shu took out a tea box, placed two fingers on the box, slowly moved it over, and presented it to Xie Changyu, saying, "Drinking too many beverages is not good for your health. Here, take this. You can drink more tea in the future."

"Huh?" Xie Changyu was surprised by his action, pointing at herself, "Giving me something so expensive?"

"Hmm." Wen Shu nodded, smiling nonchalantly. "I have plenty, giving you a box won't hurt."

Xie Changyu was shocked by the other party's arrogant tone. They just gave him 500,000 yuan like that?

Although he was tempted, he still refused, moving the tea box over and saying, "No need, I can just buy it myself if I want to drink it. You can keep it."

He shouldn't accept undeserved rewards; he's already taken enough advantage of others. If he were to accept more, even with his big appetite, he wouldn't be able to handle it all, or he'd feel nauseous.

"Really don't want it?" Wen Shu raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Xie Changyu nodded vigorously, "No, you keep it yourself."

"Okay." Wen Shu's tone was a little low, but he didn't show his emotions. He was still gentle and kind. "If you want to drink, come here. You can drink as much as you want."

"Okay." Xie Changyu paused for a moment, then agreed.

In fact, he had already decided to reduce the time he spent with the other person. This person had a close relationship with Jiang Yue, yet inexplicably became close to him, which made him suspect that the other person had ulterior motives, although he hadn't noticed anything strange so far.

But he still felt uneasy about it.

He raised the corners of his mouth in a forced smile and said, "Let's continue drinking tea."

Wen Shu glanced at him, staring at him for quite a while, making Xie Changyu think that his thoughts had been seen through. But the next second, the other party smiled and said, "Okay."

...

When Xie Changyu returned to his dormitory, it was already 10 p.m. He had been kept there for a long time by Wen Shu with various irresistible excuses, and he drank almost five cups of tea, his stomach full of water, before he finally found an excuse to leave.

He clutched his stomach, thinking how lucky he was to have drunk hot tea, otherwise he would have gotten diarrhea in the middle of winter.

He entered the password to open the dormitory door. The room was dark and he couldn't see anything clearly. He fumbled on the wall and found the switch to turn on the light.

The dormitory room lights suddenly came on, and his pupils contracted slightly from the shock. He involuntarily grimaced for a moment before raising his eyes.

Jiang Yue was not in the dormitory.

Xie Changyu closed the door, changed out of his snow-covered shoes, put on slippers, took off his heavy coat and scarf, found the remote control, turned on the air conditioner, and selected a suitable temperature.

He wasn't very cold, but as usual, he picked up a bucket and went to the bathroom to fill it with hot water to soak his feet. He took off his socks, put both feet in, and sighed comfortably.

So comfortable.

Xie Changyu sat there soaking in hot water, humming a song and playing on his phone.

"You're back."

A sinister voice rang out, and Xie Changyu shuddered in fright. After he realized whose voice it was, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, saying, "Gu Qingjia, why don't you turn on the lights in the dormitory?! You're playing ghosts and scaring people to death."

Someone got off the bed next to him. Gu Qingjia was wearing pajamas and looked lazy. He sat up, crossed his arms, and smiled smugly. "I like to sleep with the lights off, so what?"

Having been rebuked, Xie Changyu didn't have the energy to get angry with this guy. Out of sight, out of mind, she retorted, "Then why don't you turn on the air conditioner? How can you withstand the cold?"

Are you concerned about me?

This guy's focus went completely off track. Xie Changyu got goosebumps. He hissed, pointed a finger at him, and said definitively, "You're sick."

This guy's gone mad, saying such disgusting things.

Gu Qingjia's smile faded, his eyes changed, and he said, "It was just a joke, I can't take that."

"Who wants to play with you?" Xie Changyu retorted directly. He wouldn't play with this guy, no matter who he was with.

"And it's not funny either, thank you."

Gu Qingjia's chest heaved slightly, but her expression remained calm. Her voice was low as she asked, "So, who do you want to play with?"

He turned his head, his eyes slightly bloodshot, and said lightly, "Your girlfriend?"

Xie Changyu frowned, "That time you answered the phone, did you hear who it was, and then hung up on me?"

Gu Qingjia automatically picked up on the key words and said expressionlessly, "She really is your girlfriend."

"You actually have a girlfriend... "

He stood up and slowly approached Xie Changyu, who was sitting down. He gradually drew closer to Xie Changyu's somewhat frightened face and asked in a strange tone, "Didn't I make you feel good last time?"

"W-what?" Xie Changyu thought he had misheard. He stared at the person in front of him in disbelief, as if he were looking at a madman. "What are you saying!"

"Are you out of your mind?" Xie Changyu couldn't take it anymore. He pushed the man away forcefully, then lifted his foot to wipe it with a towel. He put on his slippers, stood up, and looked at Gu Qingjia with the eyes of someone looking at a weirdo.

Gu Qingjia's expression returned to normal. He glanced at it lightly and said, "Just pretend I'm talking nonsense."

Xie Changyu was taken aback by the nonchalant tone. "Right?"

This is harassment!

Gu Qingjia raised her phoenix eyes slightly, with a certain unknown allure, "Am I not telling the truth?"

Xie Changyu paused, taken aback, then suddenly looked up, "You weren't drunk that day?!"

"I was drunk, I can't remember anything."

Xie Changyu breathed a sigh of relief, "Then what nonsense are you spouting? We didn't do anything—"

"I guessed based on my feelings."

Gu Qingjia's eyes were filled with complex emotions, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said with a hint of inexplicable emotion, "You have memories."

This was a definitive statement, but Xie Changyu denied it, saying, "I've forgotten everything too."

He looked at Gu Qingjia, his eyes flickered for a moment, then he clenched his fist and said firmly, "I have a girlfriend now. What happened that night was because of you. You'd better not disgust me in front of me, it's really disgusting."

Gu Qingjia lowered her eyes. "I don't like men either."

"Then why did you suddenly go crazy?" Xie Changyu felt like he was going to die from the heat. The room was already getting warmer because of the air conditioning, and his emotional outburst made it even hotter.

He tugged at his collar and exhaled, "Besides, we're both men, so you're not really at a disadvantage."

He really didn't want to argue with this guy anymore. He thought it was over and he had almost forgotten about it, but it popped up again, and now it's happening again. He's really troublesome.

"I didn't suffer any loss?"

Gu Qingjia murmured these words, "Indeed, we didn't suffer any losses..."

Seeing that the other party had come to a realization, Xie Changyu advised, "That time was just an accident. You, a playboy, should know that. It was just—cough, you know."

"...It doesn't affect your coughing, right?"

Gu Qingjia glanced at Xie Changyu, who was clearly feeling guilty, and sneered, "What if I were to talk about the impact?"

Xie Changyu's eyes widened in disbelief. "You, you can't do it anymore?!"

"How is that possible!"

His emotions were extremely intense, filled with disgust and fear. He realized the gravity of the situation. He had initially thought it was just an accident, but the consequences were so severe. He had actually crippled Gu Qingjia; he was finished…

"No."

It startled him.

Xie Changyu took a breath and was about to speak when he heard the other person say, "But it's about time."

"So," Gu Qingjia smiled, but her eyes were cold, "you have to take responsibility."

"Take responsibility?" Xie Changyu's emotions were in turmoil, and his heart was pounding. He knew he was in deep trouble this time, and said dejectedly, "Will I have to pay compensation...?"

"It wasn't my fault, so why are you blaming me?" he couldn't help but complain.

He glared at Gu Qingjia, his face full of displeasure.

“No need to pay compensation.” Gu Qingjia blinked slightly, seemingly thinking. The bright light shone on his face, highlighting his high, straight nose and thin lips, which curved into a dazzling smile. “Just compensate me with yourself.”

"You just said you don't like men?" Now you're saying this again.

Xie Changyu was speechless. He looked at the other person suspiciously. Was this person just joking with him all along? After all, he couldn't verify whether it was true or not.

He glanced at the place with suspicion.

"Are you doubting that I'm lying?" Gu Qingjia naturally noticed the obvious gaze, and he was unhappy as well.

"If it's true, I'd rather pay the money." Xie Changyu said sincerely. He was really unlucky to have run into this person.

"Don't you believe me?"

Gu Qingjia persisted in asking this question.

Xie Changyu was getting a little annoyed by the question. "That's true. Who knows if what you're saying is true or not? If you're trying to trick me, I don't know how to verify the truth of this matter."

"Then you verify it." Gu Qingjia suddenly grabbed his hand and tried to move it towards that area, which startled Xie Changyu so much that he forcefully broke free, bounced back, and cursed him, "Are you a pervert?!"

Gu Qingjia maintained this posture and tilted her head slightly, "Didn't you want to verify it?"

"Who wants to verify it like this! Can't we use another method?!"

Xie Changyu was actually a little guilty, because he could tell from the other party's attitude that it wasn't fake; it was frighteningly serious. If he hadn't reacted in time, he probably would have been killed.

If he actually encountered it, he would be disgusted with his own hands.

Thinking of this, he secretly glared at Gu Qingjia. He never expected this guy to be so twisted, especially because...

Thinking of that possibility, he swallowed nervously, his voice trembling slightly, "You won't become a eunuch, will you?"

Gu Qingjia sat down casually, a slight smile even on his handsome face. "Pretty much."

"Then why are you laughing?"

"Should I cry?" Gu Qingjia asked rhetorically.

What else?

Xie Changyu thought to himself, if this happened to him, he would definitely not be able to accept it. He could not be as calm as the other person. His gaze gradually moved upward, and his eyes flickered slightly as he looked at that face.

They wouldn't be laughing so happily...

"I still think you're lying to me."

Xie Changyu affirmed.

"How about this, you go to the hospital and get a test report. If it's true, I'll pay you back. Are you sure you want to?"

Gu Qingjia laughed sarcastically, "You mean I should go to the hospital and expose this to everyone?"

"You don't dare?" Xie Changyu was convinced the other party was lying, and his confidence instantly surged. "Anyway, I won't believe a word you say!"

"Either give me the medical report, or you're lying. You choose."

After saying that, he picked up the bucket of water, preparing to pour it out.

Gu Qingjia watched him brush past him like this. This time, he didn't say anything, but his eyes became even more profound.

In the bathroom, Xie Changyu kept the toilet door tightly closed, afraid that the guy would follow her in.

He looked annoyed, shook the water off his hands, and stared at himself in the mirror, muttering to himself, "Now look what happened. I told you not to deal with these guys, and now I've dragged myself into this. If it really comes to fruition, I'll have to pay compensation. This is such a hassle."

He tapped his face again, tugged at his cheeks, rubbed them, and thought, "I guess this is what I look like. Could I really have been targeted by a gay man...?"

He hissed softly, "Pah, pah, pah, it's definitely fake."

Xie Changyu hesitated in the bathroom for a long time before finally coming out. He glanced in that direction, afraid that Gu Qingjia was waiting for him there, but she wasn't; she was already in bed.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and Jiang Yue and Qi Yan both went out tonight, leaving only him and Gu Qingjia in the dormitory, which made him feel very insecure.

He'd rather stay with Jiang Yue than with this pervert.

Xie Changyu lowered his head and rubbed his hands together, feeling nauseous. He almost, almost touched that thing. Ugh, what a pervert.

But no matter how much he resisted, there was nothing he could do. He could only obediently turn off the lights and go to bed, throwing his phone on the bed beforehand and turning on the flashlight.

He climbed the ladder to bed and was about to close the curtains when Gu Qingjia's hand suddenly appeared, stopping him. Xie Changyu jumped in fright, "Are you crazy? What are you trying to do now!"

Gu Qingjia's face appeared, his tone deep and enigmatic, "I've thought of a better way to verify this..."
