Chapter 24 Chapter 24

Gu Chi reluctantly put down the quilt in his hand until the sound of water on the balcony stopped.

He pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.

Reaching out to open the balcony door, Xi Bai walked into the heated bedroom.

There was no one under the bed, and Gu Chi was not in sight.

Xi Bai raised his head and looked upward.

For a moment, he even thought he was mistaken.

Gu Chi was sitting on the bed, looking at him, but not looking at him.

To be precise, he looked at him, but soon, he looked away with something else in mind.

This expression looked a little aggrieved.

"What's wrong?" Xibai asked. His first reaction was that Gu Chi caught a cold last night because he didn't cover himself with a blanket. "Are you sick?"

Gu Chi shook his head but didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Xibai became even more worried, thinking that the other party was hiding it because he was afraid that he would worry and feel guilty.

He quickly climbed onto the bed, knelt in front of Gu Chi, and reached out to touch his forehead. "Do you have a fever, or do you feel like sneezing?"

Putting the back of his hand against the full and smooth forehead, Xibai felt that the temperature seemed to be normal.

Gu Chi's breathing seemed to be relatively calm at first, but as Xibai touched his forehead with a worried look on his face, the temperature of his face... Gu Chi's chest rose and fell visibly.

Seeing that Gu Chi didn't say anything, but seemed a little uncomfortable.

Xi Bai's eyebrows were a little hot, "Gu Chi, you..."

He looked down halfway through the words.

When his sight touched the source of Gu Chi's slightly abnormal expression, everything was explained.

Xi Bai's movements froze, and the whole person went from anxious to embarrassed.

"Ahaha, if you are not uncomfortable, I will..."

Xibai's hand that was withdrawn was easily grabbed by the wrist by another palm.

The force was not strong, but it was enough for Xibai to clearly feel the difference in strength between them.

Gu Chi's thumb pressed on the small protrusion of Xibai's wrist bone, and his fingertips gently rubbed the skin, leaving a pink finger mark.

The last time in the furniture store, Gu Chi also grabbed Xibai's hand like this and rubbed it gently.

But the atmosphere was completely different now and then. Xi Bai had just escaped from the illusion and was still frightened, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

But now...

the air in the dormitory seemed to have become different.

In Beicheng during the heating period, the indoor air is always warm and dry, but now there seemed to be many more colorful bubbles in the dormitory. The bubbles floated upwards, hit the ceiling and broke, and the falling foam liquid made the air a little greasy.

There was no light in the room, and the only light source was the faint light coming in from the balcony. The weather was not clear, and the room was already dim.

All the two could hear was each other's breathing.

In this situation, there was a bit of unspeakable ambiguity.

"Xi Bai."

Gu Chi finally spoke.

"I... am in pain."

The slender fingers moved up along the wrist bone until they drilled into the palm. Gu Chi's voice was a little unbearable, but his still clear eyes revealed a fact.

He was really in pain. He

was also really confused, so confused that he could only ask Xibai for help.

"Xibai... what should I do?"

Gu Chi raised his head and looked into Xibai's eyes and spoke.

※

Xibai felt that the water consumption in the dormitory should be particularly large this month.

He could no longer remember how many times he had washed his face this morning, but this time was definitely the longest time.

Turning on the faucet, he took the towel and wiped his face.

Xibai glanced at the mirror hanging on the wall.

In the mirror, the boy, who originally had fair skin, had frozen to the point of having no blood color because he had been washing in cold water for too long.

But it still couldn't cover up the red on his ears.

But the ears were not the reddest.

The reddest were the two plump, elastic-looking lips.

Rubbed by hand.

With a click, the bathroom door was opened from the inside.

Gu Chi came out wearing a new set of clothes and glanced at the washing machine that was running.

"Can I put it down?" He looked at Xibai while holding the old clothes he had just taken off in his hand.

Xibai hummed.

"Just put it down."

The washing machine started running again, and Gu Chi turned around.

"Xibai."

Xibai:!

"What, what happened?"

"Sorry." Gu Chi lowered his head slightly, "I soiled your bed sheets and your face..."

Xi Bai: "I'm not angry, no need to apologize!"

Gu Chi became more anxious when he heard his tone.

"Really, I didn't expect..."

"Stop talking!"

Did Gu Chi do it on purpose?

But his expression was really innocent!

Xi Bai was in an extremely torn state. On the one hand, he wanted Gu Chi to stop talking, but on the other hand, he was too ashamed to speak.

It seemed that he was really angry and didn't want to pay attention to Gu Chi who had just done something bad.

Gu Chi: "I really couldn't control myself just now, and I didn't expect to get it on your face..."

Xi Bai screamed in his heart, but his hand pressed Gu Chi's mouth even faster.

Okay!

Don't say anything else!

"I! Am! Not! Angry!"

Xibai felt that his teeth were about to ache from biting them, but he had to force out a smile that could be defined as "gentle" in a visual sense. This

was to prevent the large dog in front of him from interpreting something else and giving him a few more critical blows.

Xibai felt that his heart could no longer bear anything more.

Gu Chi was covered by his mouth.

He blinked gently.

"I'm not angry. Do you understand?" Xibai thought for a moment, and then said, "Nod if you understand."

The large dog in front of him nodded obediently.

Finally calming down the storm, Xibai fled into the house.

He immediately sat back in his seat and began to bury his head in his homework. Although he heard footsteps pausing for a long time behind him and then leaving, Xibai didn't even dare to turn his head back.

His head was now full of ideas.

He, Xibai, just helped Gu Chi, his roommate... to do that kind of thing!

To be honest, Xibai really didn't have any other thoughts at first. He

just felt that Gu Chi's "illness" was caused by him, so he should be responsible.

But now, Xibai, who was dragging his sore hands to write his homework and washed his face with cold water all morning, couldn't be sober at this moment.

He suddenly realized that what Zhuang Suan said was right.

Gu Chi, a school idol, 1.95 meters tall, long legs, beautiful muscles, good personality, wealthy family... and some conditions that are too superior in space and time that only he knows about at present.

In addition, Gu Chi has been showing him care and concern, which may seem a little clumsy at times, but is actually meticulous and thoughtful.

No one who likes boys can resist such a presence.

So, Xi Bai* calmed down and made a rational analysis.

And then he blew up his rational analysis.
