Chapter 48 Fish Maw Soup Luo Shixi's Third Duke



Luo Shixi took the dinner plate and placed it opposite Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan took the chopsticks from the side and handed them to him.

"Thank you." Luo Shixi took it and thanked him.

Jiang Yan said "hmm".

There was a brief awkward silence between the two.

Luo Shixi didn't know what to say. In his heart, he was wondering whether Jiang Yan hated homosexuals or not, and at the same time, he was wondering whether what Liang Yulan said, "He likes you," was true.

Because his entire attention was focused on these two issues, Luo Shixi only reacted after Jiang Yan put the peeled shrimps on his plate.

Luo Shixi loves eating shrimps, but is too lazy to peel them himself.

Jiang Yan remembered this after only having dinner with him once.

Seeing Luo Shixi looking up at him, Jiang Yan wiped his hands with a tissue, "What's wrong?"

The tone was the same as always.

"No." Luo Shixi shook his head, thought for a while, picked up the shrimps on his plate, ate them slowly, then looked up and smiled at Jiang Yan.

Seeing that he didn't reject her, Jiang Yan easily put all her carrots over to Luo Shixi.

Luo Shixi bit his chopsticks and was still thinking about what to do if Jiang Yan hated him. Who knew that when he lowered his head, he saw a plate full of carrots. He got angry and said, "Hey, YY, what's wrong with you? If you don't want to eat, give it to me?"

Jiang Yan pointed to the only shrimp left on his plate and said, "I've paid you. If you don't want to eat the carrot, give me back my shrimp as well."

Luo Shixi looked at the shrimps he had eaten, and then at the pile of carrots. He finally admitted it with a grunt, "I won't give it back."

After saying that, he resigned himself to his fate by picking up a piece of carrot with chopsticks and stuffing it into his mouth.

While eating, he asked Jiang Yan, "Why are you ordering carrots?"

Jiang Yan: "Oh, I want to try it."

Seeing Luo Shixi secretly rolling his eyes, he pretended not to see it, his face not blushing and his heart not beating, and continued: "It turned out not to be delicious."

Luo Shixi couldn't stop rolling his eyes. "What were you thinking? You hate carrots so much, but you still try them. Are you stupid?"

Jiang Yan looked at the lively expression on his face that was revealed to him again, and replied calmly: "Yes, I am stupid."

Luo Shixi was so scared that he almost dropped his chopsticks. "Are you okay today?"

"I'm fine."

Luo Shixi stared at him suspiciously.

Jiang Yan let him look at him calmly, even raised his eyebrows, with an expression that said "Why are you staring at me?"

Luo Shixi retracted his gaze and muttered, "I thought you were possessed by a ghost."

Jiang Yan tapped the table with his index finger. "Eat your food. Stop imagining nonsense."

Luo Shixi smiled at him, and the fear in his heart completely disappeared after joking with Jiang Yan.

Sang Zi, who was watching the two people laughing from a distance, tugged at his teammate's sleeve and said, "Hey, can you help me check, are those Luo Shixi and Jiang Yan?"

The teammates looked carefully and said, "Yes, it's them. What happened?"

Sang Zi shook his head, "No, nothing, I just asked."

But I was wondering, haven't these two been having a quarrel recently? Why are they still eating together?

Is this a reconciliation?

After dinner, Jiang Yan pushed Luo Shixi back.

Luo Shixi wanted to go back to the practice room to look at the music score, but Jiang Yan pushed him back to the dormitory and forced him to rest.

Luo Shixi protested dissatisfiedly: "You are restricting my personal freedom!"

Jiang Yan was immune to all poisons. "I'm restricting you. So what? Go to bed and sleep."

Luo Shixi was just a little cripple, and there was really nothing he could do to him, so he could only submit to Jiang Yan's tyranny temporarily and reluctantly.

He was lying on the bed and felt it shaking. It turned out that Jiang Yan climbed to the upper bunk, and then there was no movement.

Now they were the only two in the dormitory, and it was quiet except for the sound of the air conditioner. Because their dormitory was too far away from the boys' dormitory, the noise from there could hardly be heard.

Luo Shixi opened his eyes and looked at the bed above his head. He thought for a while, wondering whether he should confess to Jiang Yan.

Their relationship had just returned to what it was before. What if his confession made things worse, so bad that Jiang Yan didn't want to see him again? What should he do then?

He was anxious and couldn't make up his mind, which was reflected in the fact that Luo Shixi moved his inconvenient legs and tossed and turned on the bed.

"Can't sleep?" Jiang Yan's voice came from above my head.

"I..." Luo Shixi barely mustered up the courage, but only said one word and then fell silent.

After waiting for an answer for a long time, Jiang Yan had no choice but to ask, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm... a little cold."

Jiang Yan said "hmm" to show that he understood, and then he turned up the temperature with the remote control. "How about this?"

Luo Shixi secretly despised himself in his heart and nodded, "Okay, thank you."

Jiang Yan responded and said nothing more.

In fact, he was not sleepy at all, and was even very awake. His indifferent expression made it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

A few minutes later, the sound of Luo Shixi turning over was heard from below.

Jiang Yan: "The temperature is still not suitable?"

"No," Luo Shixi took a deep breath, sat up, and encouraged himself in his heart, "I want to tell you something about homosexuality."

Jiang Yan was stunned, and leaned out to look at Luo Shixi in the lower bunk, "What... do you want to say?"

"I want to say that I'm not heterosexual, I'm gay myself and I only like boys."

Luo Shixi finally said it, as if he had completed a very difficult task. He slowly breathed a sigh of relief, loosened his lower lip that was bitten with teeth marks, and looked up at Jiang Yan who had only poked his head out.

Jiang Yan was completely stunned, followed by ecstasy.

But he reacted immediately, his joy gradually faded, and another feeling of powerlessness gripped him.

Luo Shixi likes boys, which means that her previous assumption that "Luo Shixi would dislike her because of their gender difference" is completely untrue.

That leaves only the most □□ one.

He just wasn't the person Luo Shixi liked.

Sure enough, the next second Luo Shixi opened his mouth to explain, "I didn't hide it on purpose, I was just afraid that if I told you, you would... be uncomfortable. If you mind, I will move out of the dormitory today!"

Luo Shixi stared at Jiang Yan's expression, but found that his expression was very strange. At first he seemed happy, but slowly he was not so happy anymore.

After hearing what Luo Shixi said, Jiang Yan took a few seconds to react before saying, "Oh...it's okay, stay here."

Luo Shixi asked cautiously: "Don't you hate homosexuals?"

"No," Jiang Yan didn't know why Luo Shixi asked this question, but he still answered him seriously, "I have never hated it."

"……That's good."

"Well, go to bed."

Jiang Yan guessed that Luo Shixi was tossing and turning in sleep because he wanted to tell him about this matter.

Sure enough, after a while, there was no movement in the lower bunk.

Jiang Yan put his hands behind his head, looked at the ceiling, and occasionally blinked.

Should have known that, he had already made his decision that night, hadn't he?

===

Yao Yuyu had vocal class in the afternoon. When Luo Shixi arrived, the classroom was already half full.

Sang Huaiyan nodded at him and gestured this way.

Sun Luo and another teammate Xia Wenchao were much more outgoing, waving desperately at Luo Shixi, fearing that he couldn't see them.

Luo Shixi smiled and went over to sit with them.

"Hello, captain." He greeted Sang Huaiyan with a smile.

Sang Huaiyan nodded and moved a seat for him.

"Is Xu Xuan not here yet?" Luo Shixi lowered his voice and asked the three of them.

Xia Wenchao shook his head, "He said we have to wait a while."

Luo Shixi nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Sun Luo whispered to Luo Shixi: "Xiaoxi, I'm so nervous."

Since he stopped calling Luo Shixi "Captain", Sun Luo started calling him "Xiao Xi Xiao Xi" every day.

Luo Shixi comforted him: "Don't be nervous, you have attended Teacher Yao's class so many times, there is nothing to be nervous about, she won't eat you."

Sun Luo: "I know, but I'm just nervous... If I don't perform well, Xiaoxi, please don't be mean to me."

Seeing his pitiful expression, Luo Shixi was amused, "Teacher Yao is not fierce, so I am? Great, so this is the image of me in your mind."

Before Sun Luo could say anything, Xia Wenchao quickly took over the conversation, "Then Xiaoxi, you are totally wrong. Everyone knows that in Sun Luo's heart, you are the epitome of gentleness, kindness, enthusiasm, generosity, diligence and hard work."

After hearing him finish such a long string of words in one breath, not only Luo Shixi was shocked, even Sang Huaiyan, who was standing aside, looked sideways.

"What?" Luo Shixi asked.

Xia Wenchao: "You don't know, this guy has been praising you privately, Xiaoxi, and he is your biggest fan. He will never change his mind and will never stop being your fan!"

Sun Luo's face turned red and blue, and he clenched his fists and threatened Xia Wenchao sinisterly, "Are you done?"

"Hey, why don't you let people speak?" Xia Wenchao grabbed Luo Shixi's sleeve and asked Sun Luo, "Am I not telling the truth?"

Luo Shixi looked at Sun Luo with a smile, "Student Sun, is this true?"

Sun Luo's face turned red, but he nodded and admitted, "I just said a few more words to others... But Xiaoxi, you are so kind, of course I have to let everyone know!"

He puffed out his chest with pride after he said that.

Xia Wenchao said, "Look, your rainbow fart guy is online again."

Just because Sun Luo couldn't say harsh words to Luo Shixi didn't mean he couldn't say harsh words to others. "Xia Wenchao, you belong to the sparrow sign, right?"

"What?"

"Tut tut tut all day long."

Luo Shixi wanted to laugh, but felt that he had to give face to Xia Wenchao and couldn't go too far, so he had to hold it in. He tilted his head and saw that Sang Huaiyan was also laughing.

A few people were chatting and laughing quietly when Xu Xuan came in.

As soon as he came in, he saw Luo Shixi in a wheelchair walking towards them.

Sun Luo asked him: "Why are you here so late?"

"Aren't you not late?" Xu Xuan said with a smile, and then asked Sun Luo to sit aside, "You go over there, I'll sit here."

Sun Luo was not very willing because his seat was right next to Luo Shixi.

The class bell rang, and Yao Yuyu appeared on time and walked in through the front door.

Xu Xuan was still standing, so Sun Luo had to move to the side. He looked at Luo Shixi pitifully, like a dog that had been abandoned.

Luo Shixi smiled and gave him a comforting look, and Sun Luo immediately became happy again.

Luo Shixi didn't believe Sun Luo's flattery for him at first, but now he believes it a little.

Xu Xuan sat down next to Luo Shixi.

Luo Shixi was sitting in a wheelchair, while Xu Xuan was sitting on the ground. He was a little higher than Xu Xuan's line of sight. So Luo Shixi could see Xu Xuan move and sit on the small cabinet at the back of the classroom where everyone kept their belongings, so that he was as tall as Luo Shixi.

As if noticing Luo Shixi's gaze, Xu Xuan turned his head and winked at him.

Luo Shixi was not familiar with Xu Xuan, he only chose him into his team because he sang very well.

So he just smiled at Xu Xuan with a little embarrassment, thinking to himself, is this guy just a sociable guy?

Seeing that he was not repulsive, Xu Xuan moved closer to him and leaned over to whisper to Luo Shixi: "Xiao Xi, I looked at the lyrics last night, and there is a part that the teacher can't sing. Can you teach me after class?"

Sun Luo was listening to the class attentively, but he saw from the corner of his eye that Xu Xuan was so close to Luo Shixi, as if he was whispering on his shoulder, and he immediately became angry.

Okay, so Xu Xuan took his position just to do this?

Bah, shameless!

Luo Shixi dodged back and distanced himself from Xu Xuan, "If you don't know, you can go find the captain." After he said that, he wanted to listen to the class seriously.

Yao Yuyu was already checking the progress of the previous groups. Luo Shixi wanted to hear about the problems they had made and see if he had similar problems himself.

But Xu Xuan didn't seem to give up. He raised his hand and gently stroked Luo Shixi's shoulder.

Before Luo Shixi could do anything, Sun Luo grabbed Xu Xuan's arm and lowered his voice, "Hey, what are you doing?"

Xu Xuan looked at Sun Luo innocently and showed him the hair between his fingers. "I saw that there was hair on Xiaoxi's shoulder, so I helped him get it."

"Oh, so that's it." Sun Luo scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly at Xu Xuan.

Luo Shixi didn't care about such a trivial matter. After thanking him, he continued to listen carefully.

Xu Xuan looked at Luo Shixi's profile several times before he looked away and looked at Yao Yuyu.

One group after another went up to have their homework checked, and soon it was Luo Shixi's group's turn.

Sang Huaiyan stood up, led them to line up in front of Yao Yuyu, bowed and greeted them, and then began the performance.

Yao Yuyu played the piano to accompany them, occasionally asking them to stop and pointing out everyone's problems.

When it came to Luo Shixi, Yao Yuyu also stopped, "Luo Shixi, your biggest problem now is that you can't use your strength. Your lung capacity is not enough."

Luo Shixi listened quietly.

Yao Yuyu pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, you go to the gym every day and run at least five kilometers on the treadmill, singing while running. When you stop shaking and feeling weak while singing, that's when you're done."

Luo Shixi nodded and kept it in mind, "Okay, mentor, I understand."

Yao Yuyu was going to stop after she finished commenting on each one, but now she was silent after commenting on everyone.

The five members of the Light team looked at her in confusion.

Sang Huaiyan said: "Teacher, is there any problem?"

"I have an idea," Yao Yuyu's white fingertips slid across the lyrics and tapped the paper, "It would be better if the background music was changed to a piano solo."

She continued, "The meaning of this song is very pure, and the arrangement is ethereal enough. To put it in a very vulgar way, this is a song that comes with its own holy light. If you change the song to a piano solo, the ethereal sound of the piano will be more suitable for this song and will bring out the atmosphere of your live performance."

After listening to Yao Yuyu's words, the five people lowered their heads in thought.

Yao Yuyu is right, the live atmosphere of a song is very important, especially for slow songs like theirs. A good atmosphere will attract more votes for them.

"What do you think?" Yao Yuyu asked them.

Several people looked at each other and agreed.

"Then add it."

Xia Wenchao said, "Then we need to find someone who can play the piano first. Who among you can do it? I can't do it anyway."

Sang Huaiyan said simply: "I can't."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Sun Luo waved his hand, "Don't look at me, I don't know how to do it either."

"I only know the basics." Luo Shixi looked at Xu Xuan with a headache.

Xu Xuan said: "I only know the basics."

Several people were silent.

Luo Shixi suggested: "How about...try playing it first?"

Everyone agreed to let Luo Shixi and Xu Xuan play together to see who is better.

Xu Xuan played it first, and then asked Luo Shixi to play it.

Looking at Xu Xuan who wanted to carry Luo Shixi to the piano bench but was politely rejected by him, Sun Luo said softly to Sang Huaiyan: "Old Sang, do you think this Xu Xuan is weird?"

"What's wrong with him?" Xia Wenchao heard it and asked.

Sun Luo: "Why are you always clinging to Xiaoxi?"

Xia Wenchao sneered: "Aren't you also clinging to others?"

"How can they be the same?" Sun Luo muttered.

He is the biggest fan!

Who is this Xu Xuan? Does he understand first come first served?
