Chapter 117 Chapter 117 Li Chi, who do you like? ...

Qin Moran didn't expect Li Chi to understand what he said. He felt a little uncomfortable for a moment and quickly said, "No, no, no, I just used the example of falling in love. You can actually do something else that interests you to divert your attention."

The main reason was that it was too strange to suddenly encourage someone to fall in love, which made it seem as if there was something unclear between him and Li Chi.

Li Chi, however, didn't let him change the subject. Instead, he continued to stare at him and asked, "Who do you think I should date?"

Qin Moran felt a huge pressure in an instant. He didn't expect that Li Chi would really ask him questions after he just said it casually.

He felt more and more regretful, he should have thought carefully before speaking.

But now that things had come to this, he could only continue, "Of course it depends on who you like. You can date whoever you like."

Li Chi's eyes darkened, as if he had straightened out his thoughts in an instant, and then he spoke: "To be honest, I do have someone I like."

Qin Moran stopped breathing for a moment.

In fact, last time when everyone was playing the truth or dare game in KTV, Li Chi also said that he had someone he liked, but at that time they were all together in a group, so the feeling was not so obvious. Now that the two of them are alone together, Li Chi said this sentence again, and the impact of this sentence has become greater.

Qin Moran felt like he didn't know how to respond for a moment. It took him a while to react and he said dryly, "Oh."

He didn't know why he was so nervous and panicked at the moment, but he subconsciously held the phone tighter.

It seemed that only by holding on to something could he relieve his tension.

Li Chi didn't give Qin Moran much time to calm down and continued, "I like him, but I don't know how to tell him. What do you think I should do?"

He threw the question to Qin Moran.

Qin Moran became inexplicably more flustered. He felt that the air around him seemed to become thinner, making his nerves tense and his brain a little slow to work.

He looked at Li Chi, then looked away before speaking: "Then, then..."

He spent a long time organizing his words but still couldn't make any sense.

Li Chi seemed to know that he was at a loss at the moment, and did not expect him to say anything. He just continued to talk to himself: "Tell me, if I pursue him from now on, will he agree to me?"

For a moment, the air seemed to be stagnant, making people concentrate so intensely that every heartbeat was so obvious.

Qin Moran couldn't help but look at Li Chi again, and then was stunned by Li Chi's eyes.

At this moment, Li Chi's eyes were particularly dark, like the boundless sea, and it seemed that one would be immersed in it and unable to extricate oneself after just one look.

That look staring straight at people is like a net covering them.

Qin Moran felt as if he was bound.

He couldn't find his voice for a long time and forgot to speak.

The two didn't know how long they stared at each other.

Qin Moran finally reacted. He quickly looked away and shone the light of his mobile phone in front of him so that he would not be affected by Li Chi's gaze.

He didn't look at Li Chi, his eyes wandering aimlessly. After several minutes, he finally sorted out his thoughts and felt that he should ask more clearly: "Who do you like?"

But at this moment Li Chi stopped talking again.

Maybe just like what he said in the truth or dare game, he was reluctant to speak rashly because he didn't want to scare the other person and cause them to stay away from him.

He was testing the waters step by step in a roundabout way.

Qin Moran didn't get an answer, and he felt confused and a little unbelievable.

In the midst of such a chaotic thought, he said to Li Chi: "Why don't we go back to the dormitory? We won't be able to get in later."

He was obviously trying to change the subject.

Li Chi didn't press any further and said obediently, "Okay."

The two of them grabbed their belongings and started walking out of the grove.

Qin Moran walked in front, holding a mobile phone in his hand, lighting the road ahead.

Li Chi followed closely behind him.

The night was very quiet, neither of them spoke, and the only sound around was footsteps.

This state of silence continued until they returned to their dormitory floor.

Li Chi still walked Qin Moran to the dormitory door.

Qin Moran stood at the door of the dormitory, took out his schoolbag and searched for his key inside.

Li Chi stood aside, his eyes fixed on him.

It's rare to see Qin Moran so silent.

From Li Chi's perspective, he could see his soft, broken hair and fair face. The difference was that his face didn't look as relaxed as usual.

Li Chi's heart sank as well.

It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it also seemed like just a moment, Qin Moran found the key.

Qin Moran took the key and opened the door.

Li Chi stood alone by, as if waiting for judgment.

At this time, the door opened.

Before Qin Moran pushed the door open and entered the dormitory, he paused again, then turned to Li Chi and said, "Good night."

Li Chi raised his eyes suddenly, and at that moment he felt as if he was illuminated by the warm sun, and his heart also brightened a little.

He also replied solemnly: "Good night."

Qin Moran pushed the door open and walked in, quickly closing it.

Li Chi stayed there alone for a few minutes before heading towards his dormitory.

When Li Chi returned to the dormitory, the other three roommates were there.

However, two of my roommates were already lying on the bed playing games.

Only He Jun had just finished washing up and came out of the bathroom.

Li Chi casually threw his schoolbag on the desk, then lowered his eyes, opened the drawer beside him, and took out cigarettes and a lighter from it.

He took the two things and went to the balcony, then lit a cigarette and took a puff.

The smoke spread, but Li Chi's expression was as solemn as frost and snow.

He Jun wiped his head with a towel and walked over to him: "What's wrong with you? It's like the sky is falling."

Li Chi leaned on the sink, lowered his head slightly, with his dark eyebrows drooping, took another puff of his cigarette, and said nothing.

Under such circumstances, He Jun naturally couldn't just leave him alone. Instead, he leaned against the wall and began to chat with him: "There's no point in keeping things bottled up. Maybe talking about it can help."

Li Chi's expression was solemn.

He Jun rolled his eyes and guessed, "Could it be that you confessed your feelings to that person?"

Li Chi raised his eyes and looked at him.

He Jun immediately snapped his fingers. "Tsk, I was right, wasn't I? I was saying it, apart from that matter of someone, how could you be so serious?"

Li Chi took a puff of his cigarette and finally spoke: "I didn't confess."

He was afraid that once he said something, it would be impossible to take it back.

He Jun was puzzled: "Since you haven't confessed your feelings, why are you acting like this? You two wouldn't be having a conflict, right? It shouldn't be like that. You two are usually so close, so why can't you make up for any conflict right away?"

Li Chi continued smoking, his voice becoming a little hoarse: "Some things are hard to explain at the moment."

He Jun, the bystander, was much more relaxed and offered advice: "What are you worried about? Since you didn't confess your feelings and only dropped a few hints, you can just pretend you don't understand. It's called being able to attack and defend. I think your operation was very good. You came out unscathed. You're worthy of being the smartest person in the grade."

Li Chi frowned and muttered, "You don't understand."

If some things could be sorted out in just a few words, people wouldn't be so worried and unable to sleep.

He Jun shrugged. "Well, I've never been so fond of someone before, so I don't understand the intricacies involved. But I advise you to relax a little, you might even gain something unexpected."

Li Chi forced a smile: "Well, thank you."

He Jun patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, think about it for a while. I'm going to bed and play games first."

"Um."

He Jun left.

Li Chi stood alone on the balcony, continuing to smoke silently.

The moonlight is bright tonight, shining on the balcony and on him.

But he seemed unable to be illuminated, and his whole body seemed to be trapped in some invisible darkness.

Li Chi hardly slept that night.

He first went to wash up, and then walked back to his desk.

The lights are now off and my roommates are asleep after playing games.

Li Chi turned on his desk lamp and sat at the table.

He sat quietly for a while, then took out his textbooks and began to organize his notes.

In order to make it easier for Qin Moran to organize his notes, he went to a printing shop some time ago and bought a lot of A4 paper.

In this way, I can organize a batch of notes and give them to Qin Moran every once in a while.

At this moment, he took out a few sheets of A4 paper, picked up a pen, and began to organize his notes bit by bit.

Over a period of time, he has clearly understood Qin Moran's strengths and weaknesses in learning, so every time he compiles notes, they are targeted. He knows exactly what to detail and what to omit.

It was late at night and the only sound was the scraping of the pen tip against the paper.

This sound continued for a long time.

…

The next day came.

Today is Monday, and another busy week begins.

Qin Moran heard the alarm clock early, then got up and washed.

One of my roommates couldn't get up, and his voice was filled with sleepiness: "Mo Ran, when you go to the cafeteria later, can you bring two buns to the classroom for me?"

Qin Moran said generously, "Sure."

The roommate was touched: "That's great, Mo Ran, I love you so much!!"

After saying that, he lay back down and went to sleep.

When Qin Moran heard his roommate's words, he was stunned for a moment, and his thoughts wandered unconsciously.

Boys really talk to each other without any scruples.

But sometimes it seems different. Take Li Chi for example. Even though he didn't say such extreme words just now, he always makes people feel that there is something unusual about him.

While thinking about this, Qin Moran packed his schoolbag and went out.

Who knew that as soon as he went out, he saw Li Chi waiting in the corridor.

Qin Moran's steps stopped, and his thoughts also stopped.

At this time, Li Chi, who was leaning against the wall, also looked up at him.

The two looked at each other silently for a while, and some things that happened last night seemed to resurface in their minds.

Qin Moran forgot to speak for a moment.

Li Chi paused for a few seconds and walked towards him: "Here, the notes."

Because he didn't get enough sleep, his voice was a little hoarse.

Qin Moran reached out to take the pages of paper, then lowered his head and flipped through them.

There are a total of six or seven pages of A4 paper, and each page is filled with notes from various subjects during this period. Moreover, they are mainly based on Qin Moran's learning characteristics, which is enough to help him fill in the gaps.

Qin Moran looked at him with a puzzled feeling in his heart. He raised his head and said, "You stayed up very long last night, didn't you?"

Li Chi did not hide it and said in a low voice: "Because I thought if you were angry, I wondered if this could bring you back."

He had nothing, while Qin Moran had been spoiled since childhood and had received too many things. Whether he could afford it or not, Qin Moran probably had it all, so he used this method clumsily, hoping that these things could play a little role.

Qin Moran looked at him and asked, "Why am I angry?"

Li Chi didn't say anything, just stared at Qin Moran, his eyes containing a myriad of things.

Qin Moran looked away when he looked at him, and then lowered his head to look at the notes in his hand.

He would not really be angry with Li Chi, nor would he stay away from Li Chi from now on.

He was just feeling very confused right now and didn't know how to get along with Li Chi.

He vaguely guessed who Li Chi liked, but Li Chi didn't point it out, so it was even more impossible for him to take the initiative to break this window paper.

Maybe this is what happens when you pay too much attention to someone. You are afraid of doing too much, and afraid of not doing enough.

My heart seemed to be squeezed tightly and then loosened. Even my breathing was cautious, for fear of disturbing something.

Qin Moran took the initiative to break the silence, but changed the subject: "I'm going to the cafeteria, what about you?"

Li Chi asked, "Can I go with you?"

This was a very common move, but now he needed to get Qin Moran's approval.

Fortunately, Qin Moran was very calm: "Of course."

Li Chi raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Yeah."

The two walked towards the cafeteria together.

Along the way, they didn't remain silent like they did last night. They chatted occasionally, but it was obvious that something was different.

Qin Moran was confused and didn't know how to get along with Li Chi.

He basically didn't make any eye contact with Li Chi and would look away most of the time.

Li Chi saw all of this, but his face showed no reaction, but no one knew what he was thinking.

This awkward state between the two continued for several days.

Until this day, the school held a friendly basketball match with the neighboring high school.

Qin Moran was not very interested in the basketball game and had no plans to watch it.

But Xu Zhixia couldn't resist pulling him over and insisting that he go watch it together.

Qin Moran was puzzled. "When did you become so interested in basketball?"

Xu Zhixia stretched out her index finger and shook it: "NoNoNo, I'm not interested in the basketball game, I'm interested in the people on the court."

Qin Moran thought of something almost instantly: "Are you going to cheer for Li Chi?"

He had never paid much attention to this matter before, but for some reason he suddenly remembered it.

Xu Zhixia, however, looked very proud. "Li Chi? I gave up pursuing him a long time ago, okay? He's too unromantic, there's no way I can pursue him. I've already changed my target."

When Qin Moran heard this answer, he didn't know how to react for a moment.

Xu Zhixia pulled him: "What are you daydreaming about? Come with me to watch the basketball game. Chen Yu wants to go too."

In the end, Xu Zhixia dragged the two boys to the court together.

The weather is nice today, the sun is shining warmly, and the people on the court are even more enthusiastic.

Xu Zhixia's latest target of attention happens to be the captain of the basketball team of the neighboring high school.

She took them to the front row for the best viewing spot.

Qin Moran was dazzled by the sun and covered his eyes with his hands.

With the cover, his vision became much clearer, and he instantly saw Li Chi on the court.

The game hasn't started yet and everyone is doing warm-up exercises.

Li Chi was holding a ball and hitting it intermittently.

Originally, Li Chi had not planned to participate in this basketball game because his relationship with Qin Moran had been a little awkward recently. He thought that Qin Moran would not come to the playground to watch the game, so he had no interest.

But the school teacher knew that he was good at playing basketball, so he dragged him to support the team.

At this moment, Li Chi was carelessly hitting the ball, and when he glanced around inadvertently, he saw Qin Moran.

Qin Moran has an outstanding appearance to begin with, and he is wearing a white sweatshirt today, which makes him even more conspicuous standing in the crowd.

The expression on his face at this moment was indifferent, but it inexplicably attracted people's attention.

The two looked at each other across half the court.

Li Chi's hitting force was unstable for a moment, and the ball rolled away from under his hand.

Someone laughed and joked: "Brother Li, why are you so distracted? You can even knock the ball away."

Li Chi responded to the boy and when he turned around, Qin Moran was no longer looking at him, but was talking to two friends beside him.

Li Chi suddenly felt a little bored.

This way.

Chen Yu complained, "Sister Xu, it's such a nice day, why did you drag us to watch a game? Either sleep or play games, isn't it better?"

Xu Zhixia pretended to hit him: "Life is about exercise, understand? You've been lazy all day..."

Chen Yu dodged everywhere: "Ahhh, Mo Ran, save me!!"

The two of them played around for a while, but found that Qin Moran didn't react.

Chen Yu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes: "Mo Ran, what are you thinking about? So serious."

Qin Moran suddenly came back to his senses: "Ah, nothing."

At this time, Xu Zhixia cheered: "Ahhh, look, the game has started."

Qin Moran's attention also shifted to the court.

He naturally focused on Li Chi at first sight.

Li Chi is indeed very good at playing basketball.

He is tall and has long legs. He can take a long step. After grabbing the ball, he can make a shot with just a light jump.

The cheers from the sidelines never stopped.

Most people here come for Li Chi.

Qin Moran's gaze followed Li Chi all the time.

Until the game ended and it was time for a break.

Players from both teams went to drink water and replenish their energy.

The captain of the basketball team from the high school next door also happened to come over to drink water.

He looked like an open-minded and sunny person, chatting and laughing with his teammates. When he walked over, he even lifted the hem of his clothes to wipe the sweat from his forehead without any hesitation.

But his move was a big deal.

Xu Zhixia was so excited.

She grabbed Qin Moran's sleeve and stamped her feet excitedly; "Did you see it?!!"

Qin Moran was stunned: "What did you see?"

Xu Zhixia's voice trembled with excitement. "Of course it's his abs. Don't you think his abs are amazing?"

Qin Moran followed Xu Zhixia's gaze.

He actually didn't see the captain's so-called abdominal muscles, but he didn't want to spoil Xu Zhixia's fun, so he naturally said in cooperation: "Yeah, his abdominal muscles are quite nice."

aside.

Li Chi was drinking from a bottle of water.

The conversation not far away came clearly to his ears.

He turned his head and glanced at the captain of the basketball team from the neighboring high school, his eyes turning colder.

He drank the water in the bottle in one gulp and then crushed the bottle in his hand.

Soon, the basketball game continued.

Everyone discovered one thing.

Li Chi changed in this game. He had played carelessly in the first half, but this time he seemed to be suddenly stimulated by something and played fiercely and aggressively. No one could get the ball from him at all.

The scores of the game widened all the way, with a particularly huge gap.

The captain of the opposing basketball team was stunned: "Where's the friendly match we agreed on? Why are you fighting so hard?"

A teammate whispered, "Captain, I think he might be targeting you. Didn't you notice he stole the ball from you several times?"

The captain immediately denied it: "Impossible. Before today, I didn't even know him. Why would he target me?"

The teammate shrugged: "Then I don't know."

In short, after the basketball game, the high school next door was completely crushed.

In the end, it was naturally No. 3 Middle School that won.

There were deafening cheers on the sidelines of the stadium, with many fan girls shouting Li Chi's name.

Chen Yu had not been paying attention to this basketball game, but now he was shocked and asked, "Why is Li Chi playing so fiercely?"

Qin Moran shook his head: "I don't know either."

He really didn't know. After all, he couldn't see why Li Chi had changed.

Xu Zhixia was excited: "My chance has come! My basketball team captain lost the game. I can go and comfort him. Wouldn't that allow me to take advantage of the situation?"

Qin Moran: "Come on!"

It was already noon after a basketball game ended.

Qin Moran was originally hesitating whether to go to the cafeteria to eat or go back to the classroom first.

At this time, Li Chi walked towards him: "Mo Ran, can you accompany me back to the dormitory? I'm going to go back and change clothes before going to the cafeteria."

Qin Moran suddenly became serious: "Yes, it's okay."

The two walked towards the dormitory together.

Qin Moran praised Li Chi sincerely: "You played the ball very well just now."

Li Chi tilted his head to look at him: "Are you paying attention to me?"

Qin Moran immediately said, "Of course."

Putting aside other things, he only knew Li Chi on the entire court, so he naturally paid attention to Li Chi.

Hearing this, Li Chi whispered, "Really? I thought you were looking at someone else."

Qin Moran didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Li Chi: "It's okay."

Soon, the two arrived at Li Chi's dormitory.

Li Chi said he wanted to take a shower and change his clothes.

Qin Moran naturally said, "Okay, then go ahead. I'll wait."

Li Chi went to the bathroom.

The sound of water soon began.

Qin Moran was left alone in the dormitory. He glanced around casually and then looked at Li Chi's desk.

Li Chi's desk is very simple, with almost nothing on it.

Just a desk lamp, some books and a pen.

This is quite consistent with Li Chi's usual style.

As Qin Moran read, he recalled the night when Li Chi sat at the desk, organizing his notes stroke by stroke.

Just when Qin Moran's thoughts drifted away, after an unknown amount of time, there was movement in the bathroom. Li Chi came out of the shower.

Qin Moran heard the noise and subconsciously turned his head to look, then his eyes widened slightly the next second.

Li Chi actually came out without any clothes on!!!

At this moment, Li Chi was only wearing a pair of black pants on his lower body, and his upper body was naked.

He walked out of the bathroom and walked towards Qin Moran naturally, then opened the wardrobe beside him to look for clothes.

This process was enough for Qin Moran to see clearly how he looked like after taking a shower.

Li Chi has had a better physique than others since he was a child. When he grew up, he often played basketball and developed a good physique.

His figure was still that of a teenager, but he had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his body was covered with a layer of muscles that were not exaggerated but had smooth and beautiful lines.

It’s not obvious when I’m wearing clothes, but now that I take off my clothes, those hormones burst out.

Qin Moran looked at Li Chi, forgetting to react, and looked away for a long time.

At this time, Li Chi had already dug out a cotton shirt from the closet and put it on, and then a sweater...

Although Li Chi was dressing himself up in layers, Qin Moran could not forget the scene he had just seen.

I don’t know if it was because I was nervous or what, but my heart beat faster.
