Chapter 17 Chapter 17
After a good night's sleep, Xibai felt much lighter when he woke up in the morning.
He rubbed his pillow and turned over. Xibai was still not awake, but he felt that the bed seemed narrower than usual, and the mattress was not as soft as before.
How did his bed change?
Xibai reached back and felt around.
He didn't know what he touched, so he pressed it again. It felt a little bumpy and blocky, not like a wall, and it was warm...
Xibai paused.
He suddenly remembered that he bought a mattress for Gu Chi yesterday.
Xibai's own mattress is a very soft one, because he is used to sleeping in a curled up position, but the one he bought for Gu Chi has stronger support and is more suitable for most boys.
Xibai tried lying on it in the store yesterday, and he said at that time that if he slept on it, he would definitely suffer from insomnia at night.
Facts have proved that Xibai's judgment is sometimes wrong.
Not only can he fall asleep.
But he also sleeps so hard that his head is fuzzy.
Slowly retracting the messy hand, Xibai swallowed at the neck.
Gu Chi is not awake, Gu Chi is not awake, Gu Chi is not awake...
Slowly turned his head.
Xibai:...
"Morning."
Gu Chi, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, tilted his face slightly.
It should be early in the morning and he was still sleepy, but Gu Chi's eyes looked extremely awake. He stared at Xi Bai's hand with a hint of surprise and a subtle embarrassment.
But he still stared at Xi Bai.
Xi Bai noticed his sitting posture and thought about the direction he had just stretched out his hand.
Xi Bai: ! !
"You..."
"I got up and went to brush my teeth!"
Without waiting for Gu Chi to speak, Xi Bai immediately got out of bed, rushed out the door, and fled to the balcony without stopping.
Gu Chi watched Xi Bai run away and lowered his head.
His slender fingers hooked open his collar, and he took a look inside. His eight abdominal muscles were neatly arranged.
Did Xi Bai seem to like what he did just now? Gu Chi thought to himself.
Then why not be honest?
While holding the electric toothbrush and washing it in his mouth irregularly, Xibai turned on the cold water and kept catching it with his hands to splash on his face.
Even if the heat was fierce, the cold water could not take away much.
Xibai could only say that it was fortunate that he woke up early, otherwise, if he went down a little more, he, who was avoiding it as much as possible last night, would probably have to be the flag-raiser himself this morning.
The sound of footsteps came from inside the house, and Xibai quickly withdrew his gaze from the direction of the balcony door.
Someone passed by behind him, bringing up a gust of wind.
Gu Chi reached out and lightly took down a piece of clothing hanging on the clothesline on the ceiling.
Xibai was about to express his speechlessness.
Gu Chi, however, took down the hanger and hung it aside. He lifted up his pajamas with one hand, revealing a small piece of clear and beautiful abdominal muscles from under the lifted hem.
Xi Bai:!
Gu Chi was halfway through taking off his clothes when he suddenly remembered something.
He kept lifting his clothes and looked at Xi Bai.
"Do you mind?"
Xi Bai wanted to mind.
But they were all boys.
And they were roommates.
So when the words came to his lips, he blurted out three words.
"You change."
Gu Chi quickly changed his sleepiness into a casual T-shirt, but no matter how fast he moved, it left an indelible impression on Xi Bai's fragile and young mind.
Xi Bai rinsed his mouth very hard, and the water flowed in his mouth with a gurgling sound.
But it still couldn't dispel the voices in his mind that might burst out at any time, and which kept coming out uncontrollably.
——Gu Chi's figure is really good.
——No wonder the touch just now was so clear and distinct.
——Fortunately, he reacted quickly and didn't become a flag-raiser.
"How did you sleep in the second half of last night?" "
Cough cough cough!"
Xi Bai was lucky not to be choked to death by a mouthful of water. He held the edge of the sink and coughed, and a hand gently patted his back.
"No, I'm fine." Xi Bai gently blocked it, took a half step back, and put away the toothbrush and mouthwash cup in his hand.
He took the towel, wet it, and then squeezed it dry.
Gu Chi watched Xi Bai wipe his face and heard his voice muffled from behind the towel.
"What about you?"
A pair of beautiful big eyes quietly peeked out from the top of the towel.
"Did you sleep well... last night?"
Those eyes didn't convey any deliberate emotion, they just looked at him and blinked twice gently. It was like a pendulum hitting Gu Chi's chest, disrupting the rhythm of his heartbeat.
Xibai held a towel, covering most of his face, and under those dark eyes were two hands grasping the edge of the towel.
It was this hand that was messing around on his lower abdomen just now.
The half-dry towel in Gu Chi's hand was clenched so tightly that water dripped out.
"I slept well."
He said with a tight throat.
※
Today is Monday, Xibai and Gu Chi both have early classes.
But when the two of them were having breakfast together, Xi Bai felt that Gu Chi seemed to be in a good mood, and even gave him half a basket of steamed buns. He didn't seem to have the Monday Syndrome that is common among college students.
He was in a bad mood when he returned to the dormitory last night.
Do large dogs have such big mood swings?
After leaving the cafeteria and going to the teaching building, they were no longer attending classes on the first floor.
There were a lot of people around, all of them were students coming to attend the morning class, and they all looked listless.
His hanging hand was touched, and a very soft word seemed to fall on Xibai's shoulder.
"There are so many people, don't squeeze Xibai."
When Xibai raised his head, Gu Chi's hand just happened to be on his shoulder, and he brought him closer to him.
!
"Be careful, there are people."
Gu Chi's voice came again, and on the side where Xibai was originally standing, a fat boy rudely squeezed through the crowd and ran upstairs, and many students in front who didn't have time to avoid were bumped into by him.
Xibai came back to his senses and thanked him, while the hand on his shoulder remained motionless. The warmth coming from the palm was like a slow fire roasting, which made his heart beat faster than usual.
"I'm here." Xibai took a half step back, letting the hand on his shoulder slide naturally.
He grabbed the shoulder strap of his schoolbag, nodded to Gu Chi, turned around and trotted away.
But he still couldn't resist the warmth spreading to the tip of his ears, causing a slight itching.
So much so that Xibai didn't even realize that when he just heard the first sentence, Gu Chi next to him didn't actually say a word.
※
Xibai came to the professional class classroom, walked in and found a seat to sit down.
This class is a small class with not many people, but it seems particularly cramped - Xibai observed carefully and found that the reason is that it seems that many people are looking at him today.
Seeing Xibai looking at them, those eyes quickly retracted.
Before Xibai could figure it out, he heard an excited call from behind.
"Xibao!"
Zhuang Suan dragged his messenger bag and moved to the empty seat next to Xibai and sat down. The first sentence he said made people confused.
"Xibao, you and Gu Chi moved out?"
After Xibai asked in confusion, he knew the truth and realized why Zhuang Suan asked that question and why the classmates around him looked at him with such a look of disgust.
Zhuang Suan showed Xibai a video - a video of the on-site interview about the furniture mall case.
I don't know who watched the live news broadcast and edited a clip and posted it on the bullet screen website. At this time, the video has been played nearly 200,000 times.
The first half of the video is Xi Bai's interview, and his answers are well-reasoned.
The second half is the interview conducted by Gu Chi when Xi Bai went to find Xie Bian and Fan Wushe to ask questions about his yang life.
"Are you and that boy here together?"
"Yes."
"Are you here to buy furniture?"
"Yes."
"Oh! Are you...renovating a new house?"
"Yes, a new house. We are roommates."
"I see. You have a very good relationship."
"Yes, he is very cute and sleeps very well at night."
...
The barrage was filled with "yoooo", "So people in the city call that kind of relationship roommates", "I got it", "Yes, new (hun) house"... Xibai blushed and didn't hear everything Gu Chi said afterwards.
His brain was like a stuck tape, constantly replaying the sentence that Gu Chi just said in a very natural tone.
"He's very cute and sleeps very well at night."
He also recalled that he ran to Gu Chi to ask for shelter after dreaming about the Ghost King last night and said that he slept very well, but the other party replied "I know".
He knows nothing!
Xi Bai was embarrassed and angry, and he was furious.
[White: [Video link]]
[White:? ]
[Gu: What's wrong? ]
Xi Bai was furious. Gu Chi had the nerve to ask him what was wrong!
[White: Why did you say "decorating a new house"?]
But after the words were sent out, Xi Bai suddenly thought of the other party's shelter last night, and he might be forced to "stay in someone else's bed" in the future. He felt that he should be relatively gentle.
[White: What? ]
The class bell hasn't rung yet, and it is estimated that Gu Chi is also holding a mobile phone and will reply to the message very quickly.
[Gu: Because I just moved in]
Xibai: ...
That's true.
But why does it sound so strange!
[White: Then what about "He is very cute and sleeps well"? ! ]
[Gu: It's true]
