Chapter 78: Secret Dating Besides family, the next person to date is your lover. ...

Yu Xiang finally couldn't stand it anymore and said: You think too much, your position is irreplaceable, don't make such a fuss.

Zhang Miao: That’s good, that’s good, hehehe

Yu Xiang thought about it for a while and also sent a contemptuous emoticon.

Zhang Miao: Brother Yu, why do you despise me too? I'm so sad.

Yu Xiang: I despise you for not being sick and being exempted from training.

Fang Chengyu: You can’t say that, Sanshui is mentally ill

Zhang Miao: Lao Fang, don't take the opportunity to criticize me. Our schools are only a dozen kilometers apart. Be careful, someone might kill you online.

Fang Chengyu: Oh. I'm so scared.

Yu Xiang's typing fingers paused, and he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at his roommates.

Li Mingsheng was passionately playing a game with his friends, even getting so excited that he kept yelling, "This bastard! I really want to go online and kill him! What the hell is he playing for?!"

Yu Xiang couldn't help laughing and turned his head back, continuing to type on his phone keyboard: I think there is someone in my dormitory who you should have a lot in common with @水水水

Zhang Miao: Who is it? Is he as handsome, humorous, wise, and righteous as me?

Yu Xiang curled his lips, suppressing a laugh as he replied: No. He is just like you, speaking in jerky, with a strange train of thought, and a true drama queen.

Zhang Miao: [Thinking]

Zhang Miao: Why doesn’t it sound like you’re praising me?

Fang Chengyu: Be more confident, I'm not praising you

Fang Chengyu: [Hahahahaha]

Yu Xiang: But I don't mean to insult you, don't misunderstand

Zhang Miao: I know Yu Ge, I know

Fang Chengyu: You know shit.

Zhang Miao: Lao Fang, shut up!

Zhang Miao: Speaking of which, where's Brother Jiang? Why haven't you been around? I heard the better the schools, the more intense the military training. Could he be exhausted?

Jiang Ci:......

Zhang Miao quickly withdrew the message and slumped to his knees: Brother Jiang, I was wrong.

Yu Xiang and Fang Chengyu tacitly typed a series of "Hahahaha" to express their ridicule.

Jiang Ci certainly wouldn't bother with Zhang Miao over such a little joke. The latter tactfully changed the subject and started talking about the National Day holiday arrangements. They chatted until after midnight, then said good night to each other and went to bed.

He had to get up early the next day, but Yu Xiang tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

After lying there with his eyes closed for an hour without any results, he opened his eyes resentfully and fumbled to open his phone.

The light from the screen made him squint. After blinking a few times to adapt to the light, he boredly started browsing the APP he usually liked to browse.

He originally wanted to watch some sleep-inducing videos to help him fall asleep, but the app seemed to be deliberately working against him and kept pushing funny videos to him.

The result is predictable - not only could I not sleep any more, but I also felt uncomfortable trying to hold back my laughter.

Just when Yu Xiang made up his mind not to scroll any further, a new message popped up at the top of the screen.

Jiang Ci: Why don’t you sleep?

When Yu Xiang saw this familiar name, he felt a little nervous at first, and then he subconsciously glanced at the time displayed in the upper left corner of the screen.

2:03 am.

At such a hellish time, Jiang Ci is actually awake?

Yu Xiang bit her lip and thought for a while, and finally opened the chat box with Jiang Ci and replied honestly: I can’t sleep.

Jiang Ci replied quickly: Reason?

Yu Xiang: Maybe it was because of the bottle of oolong tea we drank during the halftime break of evening training?

Before Jiang Ci could reply, Yu Xiang sent another message: "Then why haven't you slept yet? Are you also suffering from insomnia?"

Jiang Ci: Yeah.

This reaction was exactly what Yu Xiang wanted, and he also replied like Jiang Ci just now: Reason?

After sending it, he had to imagine in his mind how he would say these two words with one part reservedness, three parts coldness, three parts tsundereness, and three parts handsomeness. If he was not afraid of waking up his roommate, he would have laughed out loud with his teeth bared.

He held the phone and waited for Jiang Ci's reply, only to see the other party tactically silent for more than ten seconds, and finally replied: I'll ask you about the remaining half bottle of oolong tea.

Yu Xiang then belatedly remembered that the bottle of oolong tea was probably the culprit. After drinking half the bottle, he found it unpalatable and casually handed it to Jiang Ci beside him.

After figuring out the cause and effect, it was now his turn to remain tactically silent.

This was very bad. He never thought that just a bottle of oolong tea could successfully make both of them have a sleepless night.

Yu Xiang's fingertips hovered over the phone screen for a long time before he typed a line of words awkwardly: You won't drink the remaining half bottle, will you?

Jiang Ci: What else?

Yu Xiang: So what should I do now? I just tried to sleep for over an hour, but I couldn't fall asleep. Instead, I felt more and more alert. So, use your clever brain! How can I fall asleep quickly?

Jiang Ci: Just knock yourself out.

Yu Xiang:?

Yu Xiang: Is there a more scientific and decent way?

Jiang Ci: No.

Yu Xiang sighed silently.

In fact, when Jiang Ci came up with the bad idea of ​​"knock himself out", it was already proven that Jiang Ci had no other choice.

He stared at Jiang Ci through the phone screen for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and a bold idea came to his mind.

Of course, he not only thought about it, but also planned to put it into practice: Do you still remember that one night in high school when you inexplicably called me downstairs from the room just to hold my hand?

Jiang Ci was silent, but Yu Xiang knew he was doing it on purpose: Don’t pretend to be asleep, you must face up to what you have done bravely.

At this point, Jiang Ci finally "resurrected": I didn't say I didn't dare to face it.

So five minutes later, Yu Xiang got out of bed quietly with his cell phone in hand, tiptoed to open the dormitory door, and sneaked downstairs.

The dormitory building has access control, but there is a side door that does not require a card swipe. It is located in a very secretive location. The dormitory manager never locks it all year round (it is said that this is to make it convenient for her husband, a security guard, to go home and sleep after get off work). Now it just happens to be convenient for him to sneak out.

The whole process went very smoothly. Yu Xiang quickly arrived outside the dormitory building and walked onto the school avenue.

The dim light stretched his shadow very long, and the night wind was a little cold. He rubbed his arms unconsciously, and while walking, he worried whether Jiang Ci could slip out smoothly.

However, it turned out that his worries were unnecessary, and soon he saw a familiar figure in front of him.

Yu Xiang didn't hesitate and jogged straight in that direction. However, because he was wearing slippers, he stumbled when he was half a step away from Jiang Ci and fell straight into his warm arms.

This wasn't his intention, but it seemed alright.

"Although it's nice that you took the initiative to throw yourself into my arms, it's better not to run in slippers. You're likely to fall with your running skills." There was a barely perceptible smile hidden in Jiang Ci's low and pleasant voice.

Yu Xiang: “…” Bullshit, it’s just a real bummer.

But it was true that he was prone to falling, so he had no choice but to pretend nothing had happened and straightened up, clearing his throat to cover it up: "Ahem - I forgot to change my shoes when I went out."

Jiang Ci raised his eyebrows and said nothing more.

"How did you get out? Faster than me?" Yu Xiang finally asked the question that had been bothering him since a while ago.

Jiang Ci's face was calm: "Climb over the wall."

Yu Xiang: “Really?”

"That's fake." Jiang Ci bent his fingers and tapped him on the forehead with his knuckles, "The access control on my side is open."

Yu Xiang quickly covered his forehead to prevent him from knocking, and at the same time asked, "Why don't you have access control?"

“Because many people stay in the library late.”

Yu Xiang gave a thumbs-up in admiration: "As expected of a top student, great result."

"But it still doesn't make sense. How did you get into my school?"

"The pedestrian door wasn't locked, and as for the security guard on duty at the door - I could even hear him snoring through the wall when I walked by."

Yu Xiang: “…”

"Okay, let's talk somewhere else. Didn't we say we wanted to go on a date?" Jiang Ci naturally took Yu Xiang's hand and walked with him on the empty and quiet school road.

"It's a tryst." Yu Xiang corrected him seriously.

Jiang Ci seemed to be in a good mood, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Yu Xiang caught a glimpse of Jiang Ci's curled lips and read something else in it: "What are you laughing at?"

"This is to express my congratulations on your improved choice of words."

Yu Xiang turned around and glared at him angrily: "What do you mean by 'improvement in word choice'? How should I have used words before I made any progress?"

Jiang Ci seemed to think seriously for a moment, then suppressed a smile and replied, "Based on your previous train of thought, you would probably call it cheating."

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!!!" Yu Xiang's face flushed red as he racked his brains to defend himself, "My words weren't that rude."

Jiang Ci opened his mouth. Yu Xiang only took one look and knew that this man was about to start giving examples. He quickly covered his mouth with his other hand and interrupted the spell: "Don't say it!"

Jiang Ci glanced over helplessly, and the words "You're cheating again" were clearly written in his seemingly calm eyes.

The two of them quarreled all the way until they reached the playground.

There was no one else on the playground at this time except them. The night wind was a bit strong, ruffling their hair, but the two of them obviously didn't care about it. They found a clean step and sat down.

"It's been a while since I've been alone with you like this." Yu Xiang sighed sincerely, "I suddenly miss the time when you tutored me every day. Although learning math was painful, no one bothered me."

Now that I'm in college, I have fewer opportunities to be alone.

Jiang Ci turned his head to look at Yu Xiang's delicate and beautiful profile, listened quietly to what he said, and then said "hmm", and then asked: "Actually, now is also possible."

Yu Xiang heard the hidden meaning in his words: "Hmm?"

Jiang Ci's gaze was fixed on Yu Xiang's face the entire time. "Xiao Xiang, do you want to move out with me?"

Yu Xiang was stunned when he heard that. Then, a blush spread across his cheeks at a visible speed, all the way to his ears. He even spoke incoherently, "Why did you suddenly call me like that? I'm getting goosebumps."

Jiang Ci usually called him by his full name, so calling him by his nickname made him feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.

"You don't like it?" Jiang Ci's expression hesitated for a moment.

“It’s not that I don’t like it…” Actually, I do like it.

Because the nickname "Xiao Xiang" is more special to him, only Ms. Chen Xiaomie and Luo Fang call him that occasionally. As for other friends, some like Zhang Miao call him "Brother Yu", while others like Li Mingsheng call him "Xiao Yu".

In other words, those who can call him "Xiao Xiang" are all people with whom he is relatively close, besides his family, that is, his lover.
