Chapter 27
The young man, reclining on the bed, was wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt and shorts. His exposed fair skin was stained light pink. Especially between his cheeks and neck, it was stained a deeper red.
Like strawberry daifuku, a lick and a bite would probably fill your mouth with sweetness. Ji Linchuan couldn't help but push his jaw with the tip of his tongue.
I really can't wait to meet Xiuxiu offline.
Jiang Xiu glanced around in panic, as if he had just done something very rogue, turning into a crotch-staring cat.
Even though he was too embarrassed to look at Ji Linchuan now, he couldn't forget the scene he had just seen, causing him to stumble when speaking.
"I...I just think the design of your pajamas is really good." In a hurry, Jiang Xiu made up an excuse for himself.
"Really?" Ji Linchuan walked to the place where clothes were hung and took out his cell phone from his pocket. "But I also wore this pajamas at home before."
Ah...this...Jiang Xiu felt even more embarrassed when he saw Ji Linchuan take out his cell phone.
"Look, you don't care about me at all. I've been wearing this pajamas for a month." Ji Linchuan pretended to sigh, "Forget it, but I'm a good person."
Ji Linchuan walked to the bed, lay down, then turned sideways, supported his head with his arm, and stared at Jiang Xiu.
"I can let you take a closer look." After taking a shower, Ji Linchuan's voice had a sticky feeling in it's magnetism, but the next sentence frightened Jiang Xiu.
"If looking isn't enough, touching is also fine."
What? The color that had just faded from Jiang Xiu's face began to surge again.
"Touch... touch where?" Jiang Xiu didn't dare to glance down again.
He is usually a pervert online, but he still has some dignity in the three-dimensional world!
But Ji Linchuan didn't answer him, instead he grabbed his hand.
The scorching hot palm made Jiang Xiu shudder, and he watched in horror as Ji Linchuan moved his hand down.
No way, he had heard before that some straight men would help each other. Could Ji Linchuan mean the same thing?
No! He began to struggle.
Ji Linchuan gave him a strange look, put his hand on the corner of his pajamas, and asked in confusion: "I just asked you to touch my clothes, why is your face so red?"
When his fingertips touched the cool and soft silk fabric, Jiang Xiu's heartbeat, which had been accelerating, gradually recovered at this touch, and his desire to abuse Ji Linchuan also recovered.
Ji Linchuan, you are dead!
He glared at Ji Linchuan angrily, cursing in his heart.
Withdraw your hand and turn around.
"I'm going to sleep. I won't pay attention to you."
A low laugh from Ji Linchuan seemed to come from behind.

On the fifth day of the competition, Ji Linchuan did as he said, and the Peking University team they represented entered the finals.
It was a sunny day with no clouds in the sky and the sky was pure blue.
Jiang Xiu, Fang Qishan and Jiang Xu were arranged to sit in the first row to watch. This position was very close to the stage, and he could clearly see Ji Linchuan's name on the nameplate of the fourth debater of the affirmative team.
"He's on stage!" Fang Qishan's voice rang out beside him, "Brother Ji is out!"
Ji Linchuan walked at the back, wearing a dark gray suit. He walked with his long legs to his name tag and sat down.
He didn't know anyone except Ji Linchuan, but that didn't stop them from applauding loudly. As a spectator from Beijing University, sitting here and seeing the name of their school written on the back, a sense of pride rose spontaneously.
The applause from the audience behind him was even more enthusiastic, and Jiang Xiu heard someone discussing loudly behind him.
"Wow, this fourth debater from Peking University is so damn handsome!"
"Really? I told you to follow the competition with me on the first day. Isn't it awesome? The first time I showed up, I thought it was some model."
"Asking is like asking too late to regret."
“Not only is he handsome, he’s also a great debater!”
Everything is ready, and the topic of this debate is given on the field.
#Do you support homosexuality? #
As soon as the topic of the debate was announced, cheers rose in the audience.
In recent years, people no longer talk about homophobia. More and more people support the LGBT community and are fighting for the rights of sexual minorities.
However, Jiang Xiu looked at Ji Linchuan on the field with some worry.
When the affirmative side of this debate topic was too unfriendly to a homophobic person like Ji Linchuan, Jiang Xiu couldn't help but sweat.
There was a lot of back and forth talk on the field, and Jiang Xiu gradually felt relieved.
“Throughout this debate, we have consistently emphasized respect for differences. Standing here today, we are speaking out for minority groups and demonstrating the inclusiveness that a healthier society should possess…”
Ji Linchuan is indeed a very professional contestant. He did not bring his own personal style at all. Instead, he refuted the other debater with logical analysis one by one, and then explained his own point of view.
“True love is not bound by gender, skin color, or wealth…”
At the end of his argument, as soon as Ji Linchuan finished speaking, the audience cheered even louder than before.
"It's settled. Beijing University will definitely win this year."
"So handsome, so handsome!"
The girls at the back kept talking about Ji Linchuan. Jiang Xiu looked at Ji Linchuan on the stage, and this time he admitted that he was really handsome.
The final result was no surprise, the Kyoto University team won.
After everything was over, Jiang Xiu and the others came to the backstage, and Ji Linchuan and their team members gathered together.
Everyone else was excitedly hugging each other in groups of three or four, but Ji Linchuan was the only one standing there alone, as if refusing anyone to approach him.
When he looked up and saw Jiang Xiu, the coldness around him disappeared.
"Congratulations." Jiang Xiu raised his eyes with a smile.
"Well." Ji Linchuan said, "Just say it verbally?"
"Ah? Then I'll treat you to a meal." Jiang Xiu spoke without thinking.
"Okay." Ji Linchuan agreed, but at the same time he stretched out his hands, "Won't you give me a hug?"
Ji Linchuan, dressed in formal attire, gave the illusion of keeping strangers away, but he opened his arms to him, as if he had the illusion of wanting to hug him.
Jiang Xiu didn't have time to think and just hugged him.
The cool woody scent surrounded his whole body. Jiang Xiu thought it was just a gentle hug, but Ji Linchuan hugged him very tightly, as if he wanted to embed him into his body.
The outline of the other person's suit buttons pressed against his chest, the cold and hard texture making him feel a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, after a tight hug, Ji Linchuan let him go.
After seeing the hug here, others also wanted to come over and hug Ji Linchuan, but after leaving Jiang Xiu's arms, Ji Linchuan seemed to put on the cold armor again.
Just as the others were about to move forward, they all took a step back.
"Who is that? Brother Ji actually hugged him and asked for the hug himself." One of the team members asked another.
"Jiang Xiu, she's very famous in our school. You know what, when they stand together, they really look like a perfect match."
Jiang Xiu heard the private chat of the debate team members and secretly glanced at Ji Linchuan, and found that Ji Linchuan seemed to be in a good mood.
What? They were talking about us so loudly, but Ji Linchuan didn't hear anything at all!
"Okay, let's go to the dinner party." After saying this, Ji Linchuan took Jiang Xiu out.
In the self-service seafood restaurant, they sat around a table.
"Brother Ji, please introduce her to me." One of the girls spoke and blinked at Jiang Xiu.
He was impressed by this girl, not only because she was the third debater, but also because she said they were a good match.
How can you tell they are a good match? Even now, when Ji Linchuan introduces them, his eyes are not innocent.
"I'm his roommate, Jiang Xiu." Without waiting for Ji Linchuan to speak, Jiang Xiu introduced himself, and brought Fang Qishan and Jiang Xu along, "And these two, Fang Qishan, Jiang Xu, the four of us are in the same dormitory."
With this introduction, let’s see how she can still accept it!
"Oh, so you're my roommate. That's even better." The girl said.
Jiang Xiu glanced at her and suspected that she had also read dormitory literature.
Ji Linchuan added: "Xiu Xiu is still my childhood friend."
"They are actually childhood sweethearts." The voice became louder.
Fang Qishan added, "They are so close that they even bought a house next door to each other, and now they go home together every Friday to spend the weekend."
"Wow——" He didn't say anything else, but the look he gave Jiang Xiu said it all.
Although it sounds like there are a lot of buffs, they really don’t have anything!
"My name is He You, and I'm a member of the school debate team." After the girl finished gossiping, she introduced herself to the others in a serious tone.
"This is our first debater, Zhou Shan, and the second debater, Shen Chaoyang..." He You introduced them one by one.
In addition to the contestants who were competing, there were also substitute contestants and team leaders. Jiang Xiu nodded repeatedly.
This made He You laugh: "You are so cute."
"You are cute too..." Before Jiang Xiu finished speaking, someone reached out with chopsticks and put peeled shrimps on Jiang Xiu's plate.
"Hurry up and eat." Ji Linchuan's voice sounded coldly from the side.
Jiang Xiu glanced at Xia, then at Ji Linchuan.
Forget it, considering that Ji Linchuan was peeling shrimp for him, he reluctantly shut up and ate.
However, He You seemed to smile even more happily. She was the first to raise her glass and said, "Under the leadership of Master Ji, congratulations to our Beijing University Debate Team for winning the championship again after ten years!"
"Raise your glass."
"Dry!"
Everyone filled their glasses with beer, but the glass in front of Jiang Xiu was only one-fifth full by the person next to him.
It was so obvious that he was embarrassed to raise his glass.
"Fill it up, fill it up!" He urged Ji Linchuan without any hesitation.
Ji Linchuan glanced at him and said in a cold tone: "You want a full glass?"
Jiang Xiu pretended to slam the table, but no sound was made in the noisy environment. He wanted to refute Ji Linchuan subconsciously, but it seemed that he did get drunk quickly last time.
"You're talking nonsense. I was clearly drunk after two glasses."
"How about we fill up Senior Jiang's glass, and he can just drink a sip, and give the rest to Senior Ji." He You, who was enjoying the fun, gave them both some advice.
Jiang Xiu was about to refuse, but unexpectedly Ji Linchuan agreed so quickly.
"Alright."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bottle fell over and the wine glass in front of Jiang Xiu quickly overflowed with white foam.
"Cheers! I wish the Peking University Debate Team will win every year in the future." Jiang Xiu raised his glass as everyone around him had been waiting for him for a long time.
"I wish the Peking University Debate Team victory every year!" others also shouted.
The crisp clinking of wine glasses was heard, along with laughter.
The cool, slightly bitter liquid slid down his lips and into his stomach, leaving a slightly sweet aftertaste. Jiang Xiu sipped it a few times. It wasn't as good as the cocktail he'd had last time, but it was perfectly suited to Shenzhen's weather and the current bustling atmosphere.
I couldn't help but take another sip.
Another bite.
When he was about to take a sip, a large bony hand blocked his cup and forcefully snatched it from his hand.
"You!" Jiang Xiu turned around and glared at Ji Linchuan, but this look made him stand there in a daze.
Ji Linchuan took a sip directly from his cup, exactly where his lips had just left, with some residual moisture still on it, and Ji Linchuan held it directly in his mouth.
The Adam's apple rolls, and instead of drinking it all at once, take a sip, pause for a few seconds, hold the mouth on that spot again, and take another sip.
Until it is stained with new water light.
Jiang Xiu's mind buzzed. What was the difference between his indirect kiss and Ji Linchuan's?
