Chapter 2
"What?" Jiang Xiu was so surprised that he almost jumped up. "Whose dormitory do you say this is?"
As he spoke, he looked at the reserved Mo Ye beside him and said, "Ye Zi, aren't you going to move in?"
Ever since something happened in the dormitory during the first semester of their freshman year, there has always been an empty bed in their dormitory and no one has moved in.
Later, his relationship with Mo Ye became better and better. After the start of his sophomore year, Mo Ye directly applied to transfer to their dormitory, but his application was rejected.
School had only just started in his junior year, and Jiang Xiu still thought that Mo Ye's application to change dormitories had been approved.
"It's a pity that I didn't get accepted this time. Looks like someone got there first." Mo Ye pushed the packed lunch box on the table towards Jiang Xiu, "Eat it while it's hot, baby~"
It was his favorite potato ribs. Jiang Xiu curled his eyes and said, "Thank you, dear Ye Zi. I'll start eating right away!"
Mo Ye glanced at Ji Linchuan and found that the other party looked at him indifferently with a cold look in his eyes, which made him shiver.
"What? You don't want to see me?" Ji Linchuan's voice was emotionless. "I haven't seen you for two years. I miss you so much, Xiuxiu baby~"
Jiang Xiu: "...Don't call me that, it's disgusting."
After taking a few bites of rice, Jiang Xiu came to his senses and turned to Mo Ye and said, "I'm not talking about you."
Mo Ye propped up his chin, his eyes scanning the two of them with interest. He leaned close to Jiang Xiu's ear and asked in a voice only Jiang Xiu could hear, "What's your relationship with Ji University's campus hunk? It's not that simple."
Knowing that Ji Linchuan's impulsive words would cause misunderstanding, Jiang Xiu lowered his voice and said, "We are just childhood friends."
"Oh? Childhood sweethearts—" Mo Ye dragged out the last syllable, and one could hear a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Jiang Xiu instantly remembered the childhood sweetheart comic book that Mo Ye had shared with him a few days ago, and his face flushed red: "Don't let your imagination run wild! Ji Linchuan is a straight man!"
As far as Jiang Xiu can remember, his family and Ji Linchuan's family have been neighbors. Thanks to this innate condition, he and Ji Linchuan grew up together and went to school together.
Unlike him and Ji Linchuan who became more and more dissatisfied with each other the more they got along, the relationship between their two families became better and better. They even bought houses together and became neighbors again.
The most terrifying thing is that after Jiang Xiu was admitted to Beijing University, his family bought him a house in the city center of Beijing. However, when Ji Linchuan's family found out, they sold the house across the street to Ji Linchuan.
Oh my god, they are living together again in this high-rise building with two households per floor.
Unexpectedly, in their junior year, they were living in the same dormitory again, sleeping in adjacent beds.
What kind of bad fate is this?
"Straight guy, he really looks like one." Mo Ye smiled as he remembered something. "I still remember the sensation you two caused during freshman year. One such handsome guy among the freshmen was enough to drive people crazy, and two of them at once."
At the beginning of the freshman year, there was a post to select the new school idol. In the end, only Jiang Xiu and Ji Linchuan were left. The votes for the two were almost evenly matched, but in the end Ji Linchuan won.
The main reason was that everyone later agreed that Jiang Xiu was more suitable to be the school belle, as she had a kind of androgynous beauty.
Originally, Mo Ye thought that there was no one in Jiang Xiu's dormitory. He stayed up late last night drawing fan art in the dormitory and was so immersed in it that he didn't go online.
This morning when she opened her eyes and wanted to use male beauty to prolong her life, she saw a familiar body on the homepage. Of course, the main thing was that the clothes were very familiar. Jiang Xiu had shown them to him after designing them.
The top male blogger's connection with his friend jolted Mo Ye awake. Even though his heart still felt like it was being pricked, it was obvious that now was not the time to discuss this. Jiang Xiu had other people in the dormitory, so Mo Ye had no choice but to chat with Jiang Xiu for a few words before slipping away.
Mo Ye: [Ji Xuehu is just like the rumors say, it's so cold! I'm too cold to speak. I can't even look at such a handsome face.]
Mo Ye: [But she has a great figure, suitable for being my body material.]
Mo Ye: [Baby, can you give me some secretly filmed footage in the future?]
The cell phone buzzed several times in succession. As soon as Mo Ye left his dormitory, he started bombarding him with messages.
He knew that the other person was just like him and only dared to say these words in private.
Jiang Xiu: [Don't be fooled by his appearance! ]
Jiang Xiu: [Also, he never exercises, so his figure is definitely not that good.]
Ji Linchuan looked at the person who lowered his head to send the message, and used his eyes to describe the person in front of him. He hadn't seen her for two years. She was a little thinner than before, but more beautiful. She was so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off her.
After Jiang Xiu finished complaining, he became alert like a little animal and looked around, especially at Ji Linchuan.
Fortunately, no one was looking at him. Jiang Xiu touched the back of his neck, and for some reason he had the illusion that he was being stared at.
The other person leaned back in the seat completely relaxed, like a lion lazily lurking in its territory. His profile was sharper than before, giving him a mature vibe.
During the two years of exchange study in the United States, perhaps because of the excessive academic pressure, Ji Linchuan's aura was even stronger than before.
Jiang Xiu's eyes moved around Ji Linchuan's chest and arms for a few times, and he seemed to be stronger.
Did you have such a good figure before? Why do people who don’t exercise get better and better?
"Xiu Xiu, if you want to see it, just look openly." Ji Linchuan suddenly stood up and walked towards him, staring at Jiang Xiu intently like a beast locking onto its prey.
Looking at the body gradually getting closer and closer to him, Jiang Xiu suddenly panicked: "No... I wasn't looking at you... Don't come over..."
There was the sound of a key turning in the lock at the door, and the other two roommates came in noisily.
"Holy crap! Do we have new roommates?" Fang Qishan's voice rang out. "Last year, it was just the three of us living here. I thought no one would move in this year."
Jiang Xu: "Welcome, handsome boy! I didn't expect you to be assigned to our dormitory. We're finally back to a four-person dormitory. For the sake of dormitory friendship, shall we have a meal together at the North Gate tonight?"
"No problem!" Fang Qishan was the first to agree, "Let's go to the private kitchen."
Not far from the north gate of Peking University, there is a small home-style restaurant that is usually crowded during meal times.
The four of them sat down around a small table, with Jiang Xiu and Ji Linchuan sitting on one side. The space was small, and Jiang Xiu and Ji Linchuan had long arms and legs, so their bodies would inevitably bump into each other accidentally.
"The stir-fried pork and spicy beef here are delicious." Jiang Xu flipped through the menu and ordered the dishes they often eat at this place, "Mao Xue Wang, spicy and sour shredded potatoes..."
Ji Linchuan frowned as he listened to the names of the dishes and interrupted Jiang Xu to continue reading: "Order a few more non-spicy dishes."
"Huh?" Jiang Xu raised his eyes. "You can't eat spicy food, right? Oh, I forgot to ask you about your taste before coming here. This is a Sichuan restaurant. Why don't we go somewhere else now?"
When you take your new roommate out for dinner for the first time, you must respect his or her taste. It’s not too late to go to a Cantonese restaurant now.
"No, it's your roommate who can't eat spicy food." Ji Linchuan tilted his head and glanced at Jiang Xiu.
Jiang Xiu was stunned, then grinned at Ji Linchuan and said, "I can eat spicy food now."
During the two years of studying here, the plain Xiaoxiu has turned into the spicy Xiaoxiu.
But I didn't expect Ji Linchuan to still remember his taste. Yes, they had eaten a lot of meals at each other's homes since they were young, and it was hard to forget, just like he still remembered Ji Linchuan's taste.
"Give me some braised prawns!" Jiang Xiu regretted it right after he said that. Why did he order a dish that Ji Linchuan liked?
Ji Linchuan looked at Jiang Xiu with a smile, but in the end he said nothing.
When the braised prawns came up, he peeled the prawns naturally and put the plump prawn meat on Jiang Xiu's plate.
Jiang Xiu picked up the shrimp meat and stuffed it into his mouth. His cheeks were stuffed so hard that he chewed it like a little hamster.
It looked so cute, and there was a sense of satisfaction in feeding it, so Ji Linchuan's eyes softened.
"It's only been half a day, and you two are already so familiar with each other?" Fang Qishan, watching their interaction from the side, said in disbelief, "My first impression of Lao Si was that he was difficult to approach and didn't like to talk. It took us more than half a year to become familiar with each other."
"The fourth one is Xiuxiu. Before, according to age, Qishan was the eldest, I was the second, and Xiuxiu was the youngest." Jiang Xu glanced at Ji Linchuan, "You should still be older than Xiuxiu, right?"
Ji Linchuan nodded and told his birthday. It was the same year as Fang Qishan and Jiang Xu, but his birthday was in November, a few months younger than the other two.
"Hahaha, then Xiuxiu is still the fourth one." Fang Qishan laughed, "You are now the new third one in our dormitory."
"What about the previous one? Did he change his bed?" Ji Linchuan asked casually.
The air was stagnant for a few seconds, and even Jiang Xiu's chopsticks stopped.
"He was kicked out of the dormitory! He took advantage of his roommate status and claimed he was pursuing the fourth roommate, but in reality, he was harassing her." At this point, Fang Qishan's anger rose. "What a shameless scoundrel! In the end, he turned the tables and accused the fourth roommate of seducing him."
With a "pa" sound, Ji Linchuan put down his chopsticks with a cold look on his face.
Fang Qishan kept silent. Even someone as carefree as him could see that Ji Linchuan was very angry.
Ji Linchuan said coldly: "Which major? What's your name?"
He looked like a parent who heard his child being bullied and came over to teach someone a lesson.
Anger and irritability leaked out from the cold and hard shell.
Fang Qishan and Jiang Xu looked at each other, and finally looked at Jiang Xiu.
"Ah... this... is all in the past." Jiang Xiu patted Ji Linchuan's arm gently, "He was also punished."
He knew why Ji Linchuan was so angry. It was because he heard about the gay thing. He shouldn't have mentioned this matter during the meal. Ji Linchuan would probably be so disgusted that he couldn't eat.
However, after the topic was finally changed, they still had a dormitory dinner with a good atmosphere.
Afterwards, Fang Qishan and Jiang Xu went to an Internet cafe. They knew that Jiang Xiu and the new roommate were acquaintances, so they safely handed Jiang Xiu over to the new roommate.
Back in the dormitory, as soon as the door closed behind him, Jiang Xiu's whole body fell into a warm embrace.
"Why are you blocking this?" Their bodies touched, the skin exposed outside the clothes touched, and a faint ebony scent mixed with the crisp scent of cedar enveloped Jiang Xiu's whole body.
In the darkness, Jiang Xiu's wrist was grasped by a hot, powerful hand. A deep voice rang in his ear: "How did that bastard harass you?"
The warm breath sprayed on the side of his neck. It was too close, especially in the darkness, his other senses became stronger. He had the illusion that Ji Linchuan was really hugging him.
Jiang Xiu shook off his hand and reached out to push, but his hand touched Ji Linchuan's well-defined muscles, and his fingertips could be burned through the fabric.
Jiang Xiu's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said in an annoyed tone, "You're blocking me like this, forcing me to agree to go out with him."
"You agree, then?"
"Of course not!" Pushing Ji Linchuan away, turning on the light, Jiang Xiu walked into the dormitory.
Today Jiang Xiu was wearing a white T-shirt with a wide collar, revealing a large area of skin on the back of her neck. Under the light, her skin looked smooth and delicate, like the finest mutton-fat jade.
Ji Linchuan stared at the back of Jiang Xiu's neck. The previous sentence did not calm his irritable mood, but made him even more irritated.
Thinking about someone doing this to Jiang Xiu in this dormitory, he felt that the emotions in his body were about to explode.
He grabbed Jiang Xiu's hand hanging at his side, inserted his five fingers forcefully, clasped it tightly, and said viciously:
"Has he ever touched you? Ever held your hand like this? Ever hugged you?"
The warm and powerful palm showed an absolute desire for control, which scared Jiang Xiu. He was afraid that Ji Linchuan's next move would be to hug him.
He struggled backwards, his cheeks burning red. "What...what are you doing? You're even more perverted than him!"
A straight man with no sense of boundaries!
