Chapter 19 Chapter 19
Xibai couldn’t explain.
After all, things were going in a weird direction from the moment he had his output on Gu Chi’s abdominal muscles in the morning while half asleep and half awake.
So he thought it would be better to say nothing.
Tonight, Xibai himself was hesitating whether to squeeze in with Gu Chi all night again.
As a result, when he blew his hair dry and turned his head, the boy lying on the opposite bed and browsing his phone seemed to have eyes on his back and moved a section to the wall, leaving a space just enough for Xibai to lie down.
Xibai: ...
After all, the ghost king was here last night.
Xibai thought about it, and finally climbed up.
His quilt was still on Gu Chi’s bed, and the corners of the quilt were rolled up together with Gu Chi’s quilt.
When separating the two people's quilts, Xibai clearly saw that Gu Chi's eyelashes drooped.
Xibai: ...
Just separating the quilts.
No need to look so aggrieved, right?
Xibai pushed Gu Chi's quilt towards him.
Fortunately, it didn't happen as if his brain couldn't control the thoughts in his mind, Gu Chi reached out to hold the quilt, then lowered his head to smell it. Sure enough,
the large dog and the like were all illusions in his brain.
Xibai turned off the light and climbed back into bed.
He breathed a sigh of relief to himself, and didn't notice that Gu Chi beside him silently covered half of his face with the quilt in the dark.
He also raised his hand to grab the corner of the quilt and rubbed it hard on his face.
※
I have to say, with a person who is as beautiful as the little sun by his side, Xibai found that he slept particularly well these days.
There were no more ghost kings in his dreams, and no more strange red marks on his body. Moreover, he slept until dawn every day and was particularly energetic during the day.
To be honest, he regretted buying a smaller bed.
But Xibai himself knew that this situation could not last too long.
He and Gu Chi were only roommates after all. The situation was special these two days, so he had to "stay in someone else's bed."
But Xibai himself was a gay, and although Gu Chi was good to him, Xibai himself would occasionally feel a little excited, but the other party's orientation was uncertain. Even if it was confirmed, the two of them would not have a formal relationship.
Although he was very conflicted in his heart, Xibai finally chose to be rational.
After basically confirming that the Ghost King would not come again in the short term, Xi Bai felt that he should move back.
So, when Gu Chi returned to the dormitory after school one afternoon and found that the familiar pillow and quilt were missing from his bed, his face immediately darkened.
The large dog, which was usually clean and clear and could blend into the background when exposed to the sun, suddenly changed its temperament at this moment.
The window glass was gradually covered with a layer of cold frost from bottom to top, and an unfathomable dark color flashed in the deep ink-like eyes.
When the fangs were exposed, the viewer could clearly realize that the person in front of him was not a large dog, but a wolf with a stern aura.
Click.
The sound of the door lock came from behind.
When Gu Chi turned around, his expression was normal, and the frost on the window glass also faded away instantly.
Except that the curve of the corners of his lips changed from the previous upward curve to a tight straight one.
Gu Chi has long legs, and even if they finish class at the same time, he will come back earlier than Xi Bai.
So when Xi Bai saw Gu Chi in the room, he didn't think there was anything surprising, nor did he find that the other party's condition was slightly different from the past.
He hung the dormitory key casually.
Xi Bai put down his schoolbag and took out a small shoulder bag.
"I plan to have dinner with Zhuang tonight."
Gu Chi started, but he was talking about another topic.
"Did you move the quilt back?"
Xi Bai hummed, "Yeah, I won't bother you if you don't have nightmares these two days."
After all, the bed was only 1m2 wide, and Gu Chi was big, so no matter how two adult boys lay down, it was still a bit crowded.
The two of them basically ate and slept together these past few days, and their roommate relationship - the pure kind - had made great progress.
And after the "abdominal muscle incident" that day, no other "accidents" occurred.
They didn't touch anything they shouldn't touch, and they didn't see anything they shouldn't see.
Everything seemed to be back on track. They went to class, ate together, and then Xibai stayed over at night, sleeping very soundly.
So when Xibai said this, he didn't think much about it, nor did he worry that Gu Chi would be unhappy about it.
The dormitory door quickly opened and closed again, and Gu Chi was the only one left in the room again.
This time, the frost that crawled all over the room froze into spider-web-like cracks.
※
Without Xibai, there was nothing delicious to eat.
Gu Chi sat on the bed with his thin quilt folded next to his legs.
Clearly, this quilt was tightly intertwined with another quilt two days ago, and clearly, there was another fragrant small pillow placed next to his pillow two days ago.
But now, neither the quilt, the pillow, nor the person using the quilt as a pillow are by his side.
Gu Chi's eyes swept across the bed opposite him with resentment.
A question suddenly emerged in his mind.
These days, Gu Chi was immersed in the happiness of being able to see Xi Bai as the last look before falling asleep and the first look after waking up, and he did not think about: Why did Xi Bai suddenly come to his bed with a pillow.
But now recalling that when buying the bed, Xi Bai obviously did not consider a double bed, and had no intention of intersecting with this new bed, Gu Chi realized that there must be some other reason.
After thinking about it, he quickly attributed Xi Bai's "change" to one thing: that night, in order to confirm Xi Bai's recognition of "Gu Chi's" identity, he entered Xi Bai's dream. Thinking about it
again, Xi Bai suddenly looked for a roommate, and it seemed that it was after he entered the dream for the first time.
His ears twitched twice, and Gu Chi came out of his state of calm thinking and looked towards the dormitory door.
When Xi Bai pushed the door open, he saw his roommate sitting on the bed and looking at him.
There seemed to be a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"You look very happy." Xi Bai said.
Gu Chi hummed.
"What's the matter, is there something good?"
Gu Chi turned over and jumped off the bed easily.
"Yeah, I found something interesting."
When turning off the lights, Xi Bai inexplicably had a thought: Wouldn't Gu Chi be unhappy that he suddenly moved back to his bed?
But then he thought, is he really treating people as large dogs?
The bed in the dormitory is small, and Gu Chi is big, who knows how uncomfortable he must have slept in the past few days.
Didn't you see that Gu Chi always looks happy from time to time tonight?
So, Xibai fell asleep with peace of mind.
The opposite of deep sleep was his breathing becoming lighter and lighter. At the moment when Xibai fell into a deep sleep, a black mist that had been lurking for a long time, with some eagerness, penetrated into his forehead.
In the middle of the night, the brilliant light from the bright moon shone on the branches. When Gu Chi regained consciousness, he slowly opened his eyes.
A thin and familiar figure stood by the bed, holding a pillow and quilt in his arms.
Gu Chi moved a little to the side, and Xibai didn't even react at first. He
hurriedly climbed up and carefully laid out his small pillow and quilt.
"...Sorry to bother you."
"Hmm."
Xi Bai closed his eyes, feeling that his roommate was really generous and kind.
Smelling the pleasant cold fragrance of pine wood, he soon fell asleep again. Therefore, he did not see the corners of Gu Chi's lips quietly raised in the darkness, full of success and satisfaction.
