Chapter 40 Chapter 40

"Xibao, let me show you a handsome new guy in our school."

Zhuang Suan approached Xibai with his phone in a mysterious manner and waved at him.

"Is there a transfer student?" Xibai glanced at him, "Transferring at this time?"

"Who knows, but he's really handsome!" Zhuang Suan looked infatuated.

Xibai shook the pen in his hand and moved a little closer, thinking that there was no other handsome guy who could be more attractive than Gu Chi.

As a result, he couldn't take his eyes off him after seeing him.

"What do you think, he's really handsome, right?" Zhuang Suan raised his eyebrows proudly, "I decided to let him temporarily replace Xu Xiao's favor in my heart!"

He said, but Xibai didn't say a word. He just saw his friend sitting there in a daze, thinking that Xibai was stunned by his handsomeness.

Zhuang Suan thought about it and said quickly, "He is handsome, but I still think he is not as good as her. You can't fall in love with someone else!"

"What are you talking about..." Xi Bai quickly retorted, looking around with a guilty conscience. Zhuang

Suan was very loud, but fortunately, it was not class yet, and the classroom was noisy, so no one heard their conversation.

But compared to the conversation, Xi Bai was more concerned about the person in the photo.

"You said this is a transfer student from our college?" Xi Bai pointed at Zhuang Suan's phone and frowned.

Zhuang Suan hummed, "Yes, do you know him?"

Xi Bai did not answer, but he did know him.

The "new favorite" in Zhuang Suan's photo was the boy with a very strange temperament whom he met when he went downstairs to get medicine two days ago!

※

"Hey! Gu Chi!" Zhuang Suan saw the people in the stadium from a distance, waved his hands and shouted, "Xi Bao is here..."

Xi Bai quickly covered his mouth.

Blushing through the crowd of people who were saluting, Xi Bai dragged the waving Zhuang Suan into the basketball court.

He was about to tell Zhuang Suan seriously that he couldn't always add drama to him in public in the future, but he was held by the shoulder and turned half a circle.

His body changed direction, Xi Bai raised his head, and Gu Chi had come to him without knowing when.

The boy was holding a ball in one hand. In the middle of winter, even during the day, the temperature was only seventy or eight degrees Celsius. He was only wearing a sports vest, but he didn't feel cold.

The exposed arm muscles are tight and beautiful, covered with a thin layer of sweat, which adds to the visual effect.

Gu Chi had obviously just come off the court, his chest was still heaving.

Xi Bai glanced at it and quickly looked away.

"Are you done?"

Gu Chi said nothing, but observed Xi Bai's expression.

Xi Bai touched his nose, "How about going to eat?"

Seeing that Xi Bai didn't seem to be interested in staying and watching him play, Gu Chi gave up the idea.

He threw the ball towards the group of people behind him, took his coat and threw it over his shoulders.

"Well, let's go eat."

Zhuang Suan said without warning: "Gu Chi, keep an eye on Xibai."

Xibai was still in a daze when he heard the person next to him say: "Well, I will."

What are you doing?

Xibai stretched out his hand to pinch him, and Zhuang Suan hurriedly laughed and tried to run.

As soon as he turned his head, he bumped into a piece of chest muscle.

"Ah, whose chest muscles are so elastic." Zhuang Suan just rubbed his nose and said, and raised his head, and saw Xu Xiao looking down at him.

There was no expression on the boy's face, and he even stared at each other for a long time without even blinking.

Zhuang Suan blinked, raised his hand and held Xu Xiao's face.

Xu Xiao's eyes widened slightly, and there were a few more highlights.

Zhuang Suan: "Wow! Why do you look so bad!"

Xu Xiao: ...

"You must be jealous."

Xi Bai's voice suddenly came, attracting the attention of the two.

Zhuang Suan turned around and saw Xi Bai raised his eyebrows.

"Didn't you say it yourself? That boy's favor is more than Xu Xiao's."

Xi Bai finished speaking, and as Zhuang Suan yelled out of control, "Xibao, you've learned bad things," he pulled Gu Chi away with a smirk.

On the way to the cafeteria, Gu Chi glanced at the palm of his hand, which still had Xi Bai's warmth.

He glanced at the boy jumping beside him, "So happy."

"Hmm."

He had just taken revenge on Zhuang Suan, so of course he was happy.

"How is your wound?" Xi Bai asked Gu Chi.

Gu Chi bent his waist slightly, meaning to see for himself.

"It's scabbed over. Just disinfect it regularly in the next two days." Xibai said, and pointed to his neck, "Have my mosquito bites disappeared?"

Gu Chi took a symbolic glance. There was a white patch on the slender neck, so thin that he could easily hold it with one hand.

With a muffled hum, Gu Chi silently looked away.

The two of them got their meal and sat down at a small table in the cafeteria. Xibai looked at Gu Chi, who was still wearing a vest and whose beautiful muscles attracted passers-by to peek at him.

"Put it on. Aren't you cold?"

Gu Chi wanted to say that he wasn't cold, after all, he was a ghost and was not afraid of the cold.

But a mysterious feeling emerged in his heart, so he took the long-sleeved shirt beside him and put it on.

Xibai felt that the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which had been a little sour just now, seemed to have become a little sweeter, and he ate it more happily.

He was actually quite interested in Gu Chi's muscles, but this was outside.

If he wanted to see them, he had to go back to the dormitory and watch slowly.

While eating, the two chatted casually. Xi Bai asked, "When I was in class just now, you were playing basketball?"

Gu Chi nodded, "Yeah, I was just playing with my classmates."

He only had two classes in the morning, but it was almost two hours, no wonder Gu Chi was sweating. He was in

good physical condition.

Xibai poked the rice with chopsticks and mentioned it casually.

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen you play yet."

Gu Chi paused with his chopsticks.

He just thought Xibai was not interested in watching him play, is that true?

"Do you want to watch?" Gu Chi thought for a moment, "I have a college game next week. If you want to come, I'll ask someone to reserve a seat for you."

"Who are you playing against?" Xibai asked.

Gu Chi: "Your college."

"Do you want to come and cheer for me?" Gu Chi thought for a moment and asked again.

He saw that the classmates around him often asked their partners to cheer for them.

Xibai wanted to say yes, but when the words came to his lips, he looked at the dog eyes of the boy opposite him and suddenly wanted to change his mind.

"Ah? So you're fighting with our school!" Xibai pretended to be shocked. He tapped his chin with his finger and observed Gu Chi's expression while saying, "Then we have to figure it out. Should I kiss you or should I help you?"

His original intention was to tease Gu Chi and see how Gu Chi would react to his words which seemed a little ambiguous if you thought about it carefully.

Unexpectedly, the boy gave an answer that Xibai never expected.

"I'm your roommate, and they are your classmates." Gu Chi tilted his head slightly, and the confusion on his face gradually became obvious.

Immediately, those clean eyes looked at Xibai.

He opened his mouth and asked seriously, "So should I kiss you or should I help you?"

Xibai's face flushed.

※

It was a sunny weekend, the air was dry and warm from the sunshine, and there was an occasional breeze in the air, which carried the noise and laughter on the playground further.

The referee team pushed the scoreboard onto the field and prepared for the pre-match work intensively.

The students who had just finished their final exams and had not yet returned home had nothing to do, so they naturally wanted to join in the excitement.

Moreover, one of the teams in this game was the team from the Sports College, and everyone was tall and strong, and in great shape.

Apart from anything else, it was good for the eyes.

As soon as Xi Bai sat down, he heard the classmates around him chattering.

"Why is the Sports College playing against the Arts College? Isn't this just bullying?" "It's

a stereotype, right? A small half of the main players in the school basketball team are from the Arts College, and their bodies are no worse than those of the Sports College."

"Fuck, I thought it was Zhuge Liang vs. Dian Wei."

"How can a mage fight a warrior?"

"You... forget it."

Among the many discussions, Xibai vaguely heard a sentence "I heard that the new transfer student from the Arts College is handsome and plays very well, and he defeated the forwards of their team."

This sentence itself went in one ear and out the other, but the next sentence immediately drew his attention back.

"It seems that he is more handsome than Gu Chi."

Xibai blurted out "nonsense" and quickly covered his mouth when he realized what was going on.

Fortunately, he didn't speak loudly, and there was a lot of noise around, so no one noticed.

What are these people talking about? Is there really aesthetics? Xibai couldn't help but mutter in his heart. The boy looked sinister last time.

"Gu Chi is obviously more handsome... No, much more handsome..."

He just muttered, and the protagonist of the mumbling appeared in front of him quietly.

"Hello, classmate."

Xibai clenched his trouser legs suddenly.

The boy who transferred to their college had stood in front of him without knowing when, wearing a brand new college team jersey.

Compared to the first time they met, his back seemed to be straighter than then, and the pair of pupils that had almost shrunk into a small dot, which had left a deep impression on Xibai, seemed to look more normal in the daytime.

Xibai saw the name on the boy's clothes clearly, it was Wu Xiang.

The first impression of Wu Xiang is always so uniform: very thin.

He is thin and tall, with a big frame, and looks like a pair of double doors, but it seems that he doesn't have much flesh, so it looks a bit abrupt.

His skin appeared a not very healthy bluish-white in the sunlight, and his face didn't seem to have enough blood. Although his facial features were handsome, there was always a feeling that he would fall ill at any time.

Despite this, after he appeared, there were still many shouts of "so handsome" in the crowd.

"Boss Xiang."

Several boys from the Academy of Arts team also entered the field. When they saw Wu Xiang was there, they came over to say hello.

Has he become the boss in just a few days... Xibai thought, and accidentally met Wu Xiang's eyes.

The feeling these eyes give people is very different from Gu Chi's.

Xibai thought to himself.

Gu Chi's eyes are clean and warm, always showing a light brown color under the sun, and when reflecting light and shadow, they are like a pool of soft water.

But Wu Xiang's eyes are frighteningly dark no matter which angle you look at them, as if there is no emotion at all.

Even if he is smiling on his face, it feels fake.

Xibai: Gu Chi is still good-looking after all!

Wu Xiang saw that Xibai didn't say anything, and spoke again.

"Hello, is it convenient for us to get acquainted?"

"Boss Xiang, don't you know him?" The boy next to him looked like a talkative person. He glanced at Xibai and said, "Junior Xibai is the campus beauty, but, uh, she may have a boyfriend."

He observed Xibai's reaction while he was talking, wanting to gossip to see if he could get any solid evidence.

As a result, before he could catch any secrets of Xibai, a chill surged around him.

Wu Xiang turned his head with a faint smile, glanced at the boy, and his eyes slowly drooped.

The boy who was originally arm in arm with him immediately withdrew his hand on the other's shoulder and pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly.

"Boss Xiang, hehe..."

Wu Xiang ignored him, but looked at Xibai again, and spoke again in the same tone as before, like a robot that kept repeating program instructions.

"Hello, classmate Xibai..."

But this time, he was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"I think your companion has made it clear enough."

A gentle yet strong force pressed on his shoulders, and Xibai was pulled back. The pine scent that belonged to only one person made him subconsciously give up his resistance until he fell into that familiar hot chest.

Xibai raised his head and saw Gu Chi's profile.

It was still the person he was familiar with, but the boy's aura was different from usual.

How to describe it... If Gu Chi is usually a smiling big dog, then now he should be a big dog with fangs bared.

Fierce.

But also quite cute.

Xibai coughed lightly and observed again.

Looking at Gu Chi who seemed to be on guard with a cold face, and then looking at Wu Xiang who was smiling but not really smiling.

Xibai always felt that Gu Chi was very hostile to Wu Xiang.

"Of course."

After Wu Xiang left, Gu Chi replied as a matter of course after hearing Xibai's doubt.

"He has ulterior motives towards you, don't get close to him." Gu Chi said.

Xibai said "oh", thought for a while, and said, "Do you know each other?"

Gu Chi paused, but he quickly responded, "No."

Seeing Xibai's doubtful look, he spoke again.

"I don't like him getting close to you."

These words... Although Xibai didn't want to fill in too much in his mind, he couldn't help but interpret something called possessiveness from them.

Especially when Gu Chi glared at Wu Xiang and just now, he was still hugging him.

"Xibai."

Xibai raised his head and saw Gu Chi, who had already stepped out of the audience seats, standing in front of the stands.

"I'll take you to sit over there." Gu Chi said, stretching out his hand to him.

The palm was broad and powerful, showing a light honey color in the sun. Xibai knew how hot the temperature in that palm was, because he had been touched by that hand countless times.

So in a very strange mood, Xibai stretched out his hand, and under the gaze of countless eyes and the whispers around him, he held Gu Chi's hand.

Walking to the stand with fewer people, Xibai sat down, and Gu Chi took him a bottle of water from the cardboard box next to him.

Xibai was sitting on the top floor, while Gu Chi was squatting on the step one level below him, so that they could look at each other at eye level.

Gu Chi placed his palm on Xibai's hand holding the mineral water bottle, and naturally helped him unscrew the bottle cap.

Although he could have done it before handing it to him.

But Gu Chi liked it this way.

Xibai, who also realized this, hurriedly took a sip of water.

"I'm going to go on stage soon." Gu Chi said.

Xibai nodded, and finally felt that he should give some reaction, and said, "Come on."

"Shout louder later." Gu Chi smiled.

Xibai hummed and watched the boy leave.

He found that this section of the stands seemed to be surrounded by a single block, with relatively few people, about a dozen people sitting around him.

But most of them were girls.

It wasn't until he saw a boy in the crowd chatting happily with a few girls turned around and greeted him with a smile.

Xibai asked and found out.

"This is the family area." The boy said, and looked at the two teams preparing to enter.

The players of the team were wearing the uniforms of their respective colleges. They were tall and slender, and their tight muscles showed beautiful colors in the sun.

The boy looked around and asked a question that made Xibai's heart beat faster.

"Who is your boyfriend?"

Xibai's eyes unconsciously followed the figure walking into the field.

At the other end.

Gu Chi walked to the edge of the field, as if he remembered something, and suddenly turned around.

Xibai raised his face as if he had a premonition and met his eyes.

Xibai saw that the fierce tall boy who just hugged him and greeted him turned into the familiar smiling big dog again at this moment.

Gu Chi opened his mouth to say something, but because of the distance, he seemed not to make a sound, and even the people in the front row did not hear it.

But Xibai understood his lip shape.

"Remember to help relatives instead of helping others." Gu Chi said.

The boy left after saying this.

Xibai was left alone sitting there, holding the bottle of mineral water in his hand to cool his cheeks back and forth.

Cool down his hot neck, and then cool down his hot and swollen ears.
