Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Come Home with Me
The sound of the hair dryer continued for five or six minutes, and then the lights in the dormitory went out.
"good evening."
A low, cold voice came from the bed on the right. Tao Ning was stunned for a moment and replied softly, "Good night." But he didn't fall asleep immediately. He communicated with the system in his mind:
[System, I think Xu Jun is a good person. I might be able to complete the quest to capture him, but I have some trouble capturing Song Yucong... But sometimes, I also feel that he's not that bad. Well, I'm not saying he's bad, but he just says things that can be hurtful, and I don't like it.]
He has now completely let down his guard and can communicate his thoughts with the system.
System: [Idiot, you have a very good temper. If it were me, I would have already been yelling at him for three hundred rounds. What do you want to do next?]
[I don't know. Let's complete Xu Jun's solo quest first.]
Tao Ning vaguely thought, perhaps he should borrow a story from 'The Legend of Secret Love' to attract Xu Jun's attention. Suddenly, he thought of a question, and his consciousness became clearer. [I have a secret crush on Xu Jun. Do I need to let him know?]
This time, the voice that answered was a familiar mechanical one: [No, but he needs to be made aware. Please note that all quests are issued to help the host complete the strategy. If the host performs well in the strategy, the quest can be ended early.]
This meant that the time of "secret love" could be shortened, and Tao Ning was somewhat happy. He was most worried about this kind of task that took a long time and had no standard answer. If he did not do it well, he would be punished. So when he learned that he could finish the task early, his originally sleepy body became excited.
I poked my head out from under the covers. The person on the right bed didn't move, so he must have fallen asleep.
Tao Ning sneaked out of bed, took the game console onto the bed, turned on the console with his back to the bed, read the instruction manual, and then turned it on.
Playing games became Tao Ning's second hobby besides doing exercises. Since Oxente's classes would not officially start until next Monday, and these three days were reserved for students to learn reporting, Tao Ning thought it would be okay to sleep late.
"It's bad for your eyes to play with electronic products with the lights off." A cold voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Tao Ning was startled and turned around and said guiltily: "Are you still awake? Sorry for disturbing you..."
The man in the darkness did not respond, but said, "Close your eyes."
Although he didn't know why, Tao Ning still did as he was told. In an instant, all the lights in the dormitory lit up. If he hadn't closed his eyes just now, the bright incandescent light might suddenly hurt his eyes.
Tao Ning's eyelids moved, and she adjusted to the light for a while. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xu Jun taking off his clothes.
He said he would work out on weekends, and it was just as he said, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a faint mermaid line that sank into the crotch of his pants, and smooth and strong muscle lines, not exaggerated, but pleasing to the eye.
Tao Ning lowered her head, thinking it was not nice to watch others take off their clothes, but suddenly she remembered the task of 'secret crush' and raised her head again. At this time, Xu Jun had already changed into his daily clothes.
He said sincerely, "You have a great figure."
To have a crush on someone, you need to hide it from him while still making him feel it. Is it possible to do this through compliments? Tao Ning has never had a crush on someone before, so she can only give it a try.
Xu Jun paused as he adjusted his cufflinks, then asked calmly, "Thank you. Do you like this figure?"
Tao Ning never hesitates to give compliments: "I like it."
"Well, do you want to go to the gym with me this weekend?"
"Well...what?"
Tao Ning was a bit bewildered. The neatly dressed man had already approached. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but in the dead of night, his cold voice seemed to slow down. "Do you mind if I sit by your bed?"
"I don't mind." So Tao Ning watched him bring the stool over and put it next to the bed. Because it was close to the edge of the bed, the man crossed his legs and placed his hands on his legs in a relaxed posture. No one who saw this scene would think that it was time to go to bed.
"Classes don't officially start until next week, so you can't go back this weekend. So why don't you come to my house? I can take you to the gym." The man paused, his cold eyes narrowed, "Or do you want to go back to the Song family?"
Xu Jun had gotten all of Tao Ning's information and knew he was currently staying at the Song family's house. When he mentioned the "Song family," his tone darkened.
Tao Ning shook his head. "No, I'll go home with you." He now considered Xu Jun a friend. After all, the Song family was his financial supporter, so it wouldn't be nice to bother them too much. So, it would be better not to go back on weekdays. His bright eyes curved up, "Thank you."
But he was also a little worried, "Will your family mind?"
"No." Xu Jun answered decisively, "...I can play games with you now."
Tao Ning opened her eyes wide, instantly throwing away all her worries and concerns. She picked up the game console and moved it to the bedside like a small animal, sticking her head out. "Do you know how to play?"
The distance between the two of them was shortened by the boy's actions. Xu Jun changed his posture, with his legs leaning to the sides, slightly hunched, so that his upper body could get closer to the person approaching. He barely sniffed the sweet smell in the air and hummed lightly.
It just so happened that the two game consoles could be connected online. Tao Ning was very excited and gave him one. So for the rest of the time, the two of them played video games late at night.
The man seemed to have completely forgotten the words "go to bed on time".
They mostly played competitive or fighting games. Tao Ning won more often, but only by a hair, and that was because he'd played so many times and was very familiar with the controls. Xu Jun, on the other hand, probably didn't play regularly, but he did. He started out with some awkwardness, but within minutes, he quickly mastered the game.
The two fought fiercely in the game, neither giving in, and each victory was narrowly won. This gave Tao Ning a strong competitive spirit, but when he was still eager to continue, Xu Jun put down the game console and said calmly, "You should go to bed."
Tao Ning was like a teenager addicted to games, reluctant to let go of the game console. She blinked her eyes and begged him in a soft voice, "Can you play for a while longer?"
As the boy pleaded coquettishly, the sweet lemon scent in the air became stronger. Xu Jun's eyes were calm, but he couldn't help holding his breath. After all, he seemed unable to resist such temptation. After a while, his voice was slightly hoarse: "No, it's time to go to bed."
Tao Ning lowered his head in frustration and said "Oh" sullenly.
The person beside the bed mused, "Come home with me tomorrow and I can play with you for two days."
"Really?"
"Um."
"That's great! Thank you, you're so kind... Well, good night then."
"good evening."
The next morning, Tao Ning woke up in a daze and saw Xu Jun reading a book in a sleeveless vest. The smooth muscle lines on his arms were exposed to the awake person. Tao Ning thought: It would be nice if he had a body like this.
When I came back after washing up, there was a bowl of vegetable porridge on the table. The person behind me said lightly: "I made two breakfasts. We can set off after eating."
"Thank you," Tao Ning took a bite and found the taste neither salty nor bland, just right.
Xu Jun wanted Tao Ning to stay at his house for two days, so Tao Ning brought two sets of clothes and stuffed them all into Xu Jun's suitcase instead of putting them in her own suitcase. He said it would save trouble this way, and as the saying goes, "If someone gives you a good meal, you will be rewarded with a good deal." Tao Ning now listens to him very much and is very happy.
Because he had almost no friends since he was a child, but Tao Ning knew that good friends would stay overnight at each other's homes. This was his first time staying overnight at a friend's house, so he was very happy.
So much so that after he followed Xu Jun out, he didn't even notice that the phone in the dormitory rang for a long time.
