Chapter 28 The Real Adventure "This is not something to be curious about..."

Yu Xiang's thumb hovered above the screen, his eyelids twitching, still unable to figure out what was so urgent that he had to make a video call.

But while he was struggling, his finger accidentally fell and slid onto the answer button on the screen.

At this point, Yu Xiang simply used Jiang Ci's pen holder as a mobile phone holder, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked at the camera speechlessly.

The environment on Zhang Miao's side was very noisy, and the camera was shaking. The aftermath of the shaking was so severe that only fragments of afterimages could be seen. He wondered what the hell this guy was doing.

"It's connected! Hurry up and take it away!" Someone on the other end howled, and then the camera shook violently, and then Zhang Miao's slightly embarrassed face appeared on the screen.

Only after the camera stabilized did Yu Xiang get a clear look at Zhang Miao's situation—several faces were squeezed into the small camera range, all of them were classmates he had met during the day.

"Good evening, Brother Yu." Zhang Miao said dryly.

Yu Xiang: "Are you sick?"

"I, I, I, I--" Zhang Miao was stuttering at this moment. He said "I" several times but couldn't come up with anything. He was so anxious that he was about to sweat.

Yu Xiang had already seen the clues at this time: "You lost the truth or dare game, right?"

"That's right! Brother Yu, you really do understand me!" Zhang Miao replied excitedly, turning to the people around him and saying, "You all saw it. He figured it out himself. I didn't leak any information."

"Okay, okay, Sanshui, hurry up." Xu Tianhao said and waved his hand, signaling him to continue.

"I understand. Don't rush me."

"So." Yu Xiang considered taking his phone to the balcony to answer it, but he was too lazy to get up. He figured since Jiang Ci knew all these people, it didn't matter. "What do I need to do?"

Zhang Miao, standing across from him, rubbed his hands together with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. "It's very simple. Just blow each other a kiss towards the camera. One is enough!"

Yu Xiang was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then reached out without hesitation to press the hang-up button.

Bye bye Taishe is dead.

"Tonics, Brother Yu!!!" Zhang Miao had guessed Yu Xiang's intention the moment he raised his hand, and he howled frantically, "If you die too, there'll be no one to help me!"

Yu Xiang, still too soft-hearted, finally stopped just inches away from the hang-up button: "Let Lao Fang help you."

Zhang Miao: "I feel a little embarrassed when Lao Fang's parents are right here."

Yu Xiang understood what he meant and stretched out his hand to his left under Zhang Miao's puzzled gaze. Then Jiang Ci's indifferent and handsome face also appeared in the camera.

The moment Zhang Miao saw Jiang Ci, his eyes widened, his hair stood on end, and he exclaimed "Ah!"

The people surrounding Zhang Miao also showed surprised expressions.

"Stop yelling and be serious." Yu Xiang couldn't stand it anymore and said unhappily.

Zhang Miao adjusted his expression, but his tone was still full of confusion and depression: "Why are you still here?" Why are you like a dog-skin plaster?

He didn't dare say the second half of the sentence - he was afraid of being scolded by Yu Xiang, who was suspected to have reconciled with Jiang Ci and developed into a close brother.

"This is my home, shouldn't I be here?" Jiang Ci, who was forcibly pulled into the camera, had no displeasure on his face and asked slowly.

"You, your home? So this is your room?" Zhang Miao was stunned when he heard that, and his eyes unconsciously turned to Yu Xiang. He wanted to open a channel to chat privately with Yu Xiang.

However, the existing conditions certainly did not support him to do so, so he could only hesitate to speak, and in the end his face almost turned red, but he still couldn't come up with a clear answer.

Even though he couldn't hold it in, the other people present had a lot to talk about.

"Oh my god, you two really are neighbors?"

"Yu Xiang, what are you doing in the God of Learning's room? Giving him some private lessons?"

"What the hell? Don't do this during the holidays. Are you trying to get us killed?"

"Tonic, tonic, tonic, roll me—"

"Why would I lie to you?" Yu Xiang answered the first question, feeling very puzzled.

Lu Ziyang touched his chin angrily: "Ahem, mainly because I heard some rumors that sounded very true."

Yu Xiang's eyelids began to twitch: "What rumor?"

Lu Ziyang already regretted it. His eyes wandered, and he was struggling in his heart: "Or maybe it's better not to say it. The rumor has already been refuted."

He wanted to evasively avoid the topic, but Xu Tianhao beside him pinched his thigh without much tact: "You're already halfway through your story, what are you doing? I really want to know the truth, so hurry up and tell me."

Of course, Lu Ziyang would not take this blow in vain. He pinched it back on the spot and said through gritted teeth, "If you want to know, ask yourself. Don't use me as a tool."

Xu Tianhao cried out in pain, "Hey, hey, hey, be gentle, I didn't pinch you that hard just now! You're carrying something smuggled!"

"So what is the rumor? I'm curious too." Jiang Ci looked at the two people quarreling in the video with an indifferent expression and asked seriously.

Lu Ziyang: "This is not something to be curious about..."

"What rumor? How come I don't know about it?" Zhang Miao came to his senses and looked at Lu Ziyang in confusion.

"All you do every day is chase after Yu Xiang with Lao Fang. What do you think you know?" Xu Tianhao said quietly.

Besides, those rumors were just hearsay. Their relationship with Yu Xiang and Jiang Ci was normal. Of course, it was impossible for them to go up to them and ask what was going on just by hearing some gossip.

"Hurry up and tell me, after we finish eating the melon, Sanshui's adventure has to continue." A girl who was traveling with them urged.

Zhang Miao, who had thought she could use the topic to get out of the big adventure, looked hopeless: "...Sister, can we please forget about this?"

"Of course not."

"Okay, let me make it short." Lu Ziyang closed his eyes and steeled his resolve. "At the beginning of our second year of high school, someone saw you, Yu Xiang, secretly following Jiang Ci, seemingly intending to do something bad to him."

Yu Xiang frowned deeply. "What kind of a description is that? What does it mean to secretly follow someone with ulterior motives? This must have been seen by one of his little fans and exaggerated it, right?"

Xu Tianhao: "So what's the truth?"

Yu Xiang threw up his hands in exasperation. "What else could it be? He lives next door to me and we take the same route home. Besides, doesn't he ride a bicycle? Can my two legs be as fast as his two wheels?"

Xu Tianhao rubbed his chin. "That's hard to say. After all, with your sprinting explosiveness..."

Yu Xiang interrupted him in time: "In short, it's not true. If you don't believe me, ask Jiang Ci."

Jiang Ci nodded in agreement, "Indeed, and in fact, most of the time I was the one who bullied him. He was just all talk and no action towards me, and he only acted powerful on the surface."

Yu Xiang: “…” Although it was a very convincing clarification, why did it make me so angry just listening to it?

Jiang Ci's words were shocking, and those people were obviously shocked. It was probably hard for them to believe that Jiang Ci, who looked so gentle and quiet, could be a stronger person than Yu Xiang.

"Apart from this, is there anything else?" Jiang Ci asked.

Lu Ziyang: "Last semester, someone saw you two enter the same toilet cubicle and made strange noises."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Xiang coughed three times in an extremely unnatural manner.

How could this be seen? Wasn't it their turn to do morning exercises that day? Shouldn't everyone else be on the playground?

The most important thing is that he had clearly confirmed that there was no one around.

should.

Bar.

He lost confidence by the end of his recollection and simply stopped thinking about it: "As for that incident, well, it's not what I thought it was."

Zhang Miao blinked innocently: "What?"

"Shut up." Yu Xiang gave him a glare.

"That day he was bitten by some insect somewhere. It was itchy but he was too embarrassed to scratch it in public, and I happened to have some ointment." Compared to Yu Xiang's entanglement, Jiang Ci calmly told the truth.

Xu Tianhao: "That strange sound?"

Jiang Ci: "He's ticklish."

Yu Xiang was bitten on his back, which had turned red. Jiang Ci's already slightly cold fingers were dipped in the even colder ointment, and when they touched the smooth skin, Yu Xiang couldn't help but groan.

Everyone then looked as if they had suddenly understood: "So that's how it is."

"Alright, alright, let's stop here. Sanshui, don't you want to take another big adventure? Hurry up, hurry up, don't delay me from finishing my homework." Yu Xiang was afraid that if he continued talking, he would be forced to reveal some of his dark history, so he took the initiative to end the topic based on the principle of cutting losses in time.

After he said this, the others didn't continue to make a fuss, and naturally turned their attention to Zhang Miao again: "Sanshui, come on."

Zhang Miao, who was named, looked at Yu Xiang pitifully and said, "Brother Yu, please help me."

Yu Xiang felt like he had finally gotten out of one fire pit and fell into another, so he tried to negotiate with them: "How about, for my sake, give him a bigger adventure."

After he finished speaking, he felt the need to add another point: "If my face isn't enough, then add Jiang Ci's."

Jiang Ci gave him an ambiguous look, as if making a silent accusation.

"Hiss. But we finally got something this exciting... How about this, for your sake, let's make it a little easier. No need to blow kisses to each other, just him blowing kisses, and the other person just needs to look at him." The girl suggested, then turned to the others, "What do you think?"

Xu Tianhao: "That's fine."

Zhang Miao just wanted to die quickly and be reborn: "Okay, okay, that's it!"

Yu Xiang: “…” But it seems disgusting to ask me to accept a flying kiss.

But since it's between us through the screen, at most I'll get goosebumps, which is not completely unacceptable.

Go for it!

"Okay, hurry up." Yu Xiang took a deep breath and said to Zhang Miao.

"Well, well, here I come." Zhang Miao opposite closed his eyes, pouted his lips affectionately, and then covered his lips with four fingers.

At the moment when Zhang Miao blew the kiss, Jiang Ci suddenly pulled Yu Xiang towards him——

Yu Xiang, caught off guard, fell directly into Jiang Ci's arms. Zhang Miao, who had just opened his eyes after blowing him a kiss, was confused as to what was going on. He blinked blankly and asked, "What happened? Where are you, Brother Yu?"

-----------------------

The author has something to say: I failed to catch up with the list, and after thinking about it, I decided to publish this chapter. Thinking about it, my recent state is indeed bad, and I also want to write in a better state instead of just doing it perfunctorily to make up for the update. So I will stop updating for the next two weeks. I will try my best to adjust my state and save as many manuscripts as possible. I will not abandon the pit. See you in two weeks (bow)
