Chapter 33 Chapter 33 I'll let you pinch my earlobe, okay? ...
On Wednesday, Xin Ai has an early 8am dinner.
Xin Ai got up early in the morning, washed up and went downstairs, where he saw Fu Xize waiting for him as usual. Xin Ai had memorized his class schedule, so he knew that Fu Xize had no classes in the first two periods today, and his class was at 9:50.
This lazy guy got up so early just to accompany him.
Xin Ai is obviously the one pursuing, but that doesn't stop him from enjoying Fu Xize's devotion to him, so much so that Xin Ai falls into self-doubt from time to time, wondering if it is possible that I am the one being pursued.
Thinking of this, Xin Ai shook her head and laughed, then trotted over and greeted Fu Xize: "Good morning!"
Fu Xize replied: "Good morning."
The two went to the cafeteria to have breakfast side by side.
After yesterday, Fu Xize's mood changed a lot. He used to take a leisurely and unhurried attitude towards Xin Ai's daily check-in. He hadn't thought it through, so he wasn't in a hurry; but now that he had thought it through, he felt a little... anxious. He knew that Xin Ai would definitely ask him again today, so he just had to wait. However, he didn't know in which scene or at which time Xin Ai would ask him, so he felt anxious.
It was a strange feeling. It turned out that waiting for someone to respond to one's love was so hard. But Xin Ai had waited for him for seven days before.
This morning, Xin Ai obviously didn't ask anything.
Fu Xize couldn't help but look at him frequently.
Xin Ai noticed his gaze and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Fu Xize shook his head: "Nothing."
Xin Ai felt puzzled, but it was not a big deal, so he and Fu Xize went into the cafeteria to have breakfast.
There are so many canteens in their school. I was a bit bored of eating in the same canteen before, so I changed one this morning and had Cantonese rice rolls and Chaoshan beef balls for breakfast.
The white and glutinous rice rolls are wrapped with eggs, shredded pork, shrimps, and lettuce, and then topped with a black soup. The whole rice roll has a black and white beauty. Xin Ai picked up a piece of rice roll soaked in soup with chopsticks and put it in her mouth. It was soft, glutinous, and fragrant, and all kinds of flavors instantly flooded her tongue. It was delicious.
Xin Ai started to try beef balls again. The beef balls were hand-made, with a crispy texture and chewy texture. Xin Ai ate six balls without getting tired of them, and decided to go to Guangdong to eat and drink as much as she could in the future.
Fu Xize was already accustomed to Xin Ai's appearance of enjoying everything he ate, because... this was most likely the first time that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had eaten rice rolls and beef balls in his life.
He is obviously a rich young man, but because his family is too strict and he is given all kinds of diet meals, everything he eats seems fresh and new.
Fu Xize quite enjoyed eating with him. Not only was he a good-looking man, but watching him eat with relish also increased his appetite. Before he knew it, he had finished a very boring meal in the boring cafeteria.
After breakfast, Xin Ai went to class, and Fu Xize naturally accompanied her.
In the freshman year, there are mostly general education courses and the professional courses are not very in-depth. Xin Ai's two courses are "College English". Xin Ai is very good at English, and this kind of course is quite easy for him. Xin Ai usually does some fixed painting exercises in this class, such as sketching, watercolor and so on.
Xin Ai had thought of skipping classes to accompany Fu Xize in class before. It was not that he was not doing his job properly, but Xin Ai had taken all these courses in his freshman and sophomore years. He had the highest GPA in the class at that time. Xin Ai started to pursue a double degree smoothly. Even though Xin Ai had almost forgotten the specific course content ten years later, some things you have learned will remain in your mind and appear on your pen when you need them. Xin Ai always felt that the courses at the Academy of Fine Arts were not difficult for him. After his rebirth, Xin Ai had ten more years of painting experience, so he had no pressure in his studies.
Fu Xize insisted that he attend classes, so Xin Ai began to take them seriously, but he would be selective. For professional courses, Xin Ai would listen carefully to review what he had learned and learn new things; for casual courses, he would finish the daily practice tasks in these classes, and concentrate on accompanying Fu Xize after class.
Xin Ai painted in watercolor for this College English class. The reference photos were ready-made, so Xin Ai just rolled up her sleeves and started painting.
Fu Xize tends to feel sleepy if he gets up too early, and the same is true when he is in Xin Ai's class. He fell asleep after two classes. When he woke up, he found that Xin Ai had already finished a watercolor painting of him. The reference photo was taken on campus yesterday. Moreover, if you flip to the front of the watercolor book, there is also him.
Even the sketchbook is filled with his drawings.
Fu Xize looked at these paintings with a thoughtful expression.
When Xin Ai is pursuing someone, he is undoubtedly very romantic. He will draw him over and over again. In just one week, Fu Xize has seen his sketches, graffiti, and watercolors in class. The prospective boyfriend is so cool! Give the prospective boyfriend a call! !
Seeing Fu Xize flipping through his paintings, Xin Ai smiled and said, "One painting a day. When I finish a watercolor book for you, I will give this one to you and see if you will agree to be with me."
Fu Xize put down the watercolor book and said, "No need."
He turned to look at Xin Ai and thought, it won't take that long, I can agree to you today.
Upon hearing this, Xin Ai frowned. Are you not allowed to paint? That’s not necessary. He has painted Fu Xize in various styles, and he didn’t see anything wrong with Fu Xize.
Fu Xize thought about it and hinted, "No need to draw so many pictures."
Xin Ai smiled. It turned out that she was worried that he was tired. He replied, "I practice regularly. I'm used to it."
Fu Xize silently waited for his next words. As long as Xin Ai asked, "Can you fall in love just by drawing these few pictures?" he would definitely answer "Yes".
Xin Ai, however, had no such thoughts. The watercolor album was newly opened and he had only painted a few pictures in it. How could he give it away as a gift? He would only show his sincerity by filling it up. He stood up, packed his things and changed classrooms to attend another class.
Fu Xize was silent: "..."
What a good opportunity, and you didn't check it.
Eh.
Xin Ai vaguely noticed that Fu Xize's expression was a little subtle. After careful observation, he found that Fu Xize was still expressionless. After all, Xin Ai was not a worm in Fu Xize's stomach. He could feel Fu Xize's pampering and tenderness towards him, but he could not understand the rich inner world beneath Fu Xize's expressionless face.
Especially... Xin Ai has been numbed by the rejections, so he plans to fight a protracted war. He will spend two months finishing a 60-page watercolor book and then give it away.
Afterwards, they both attended their respective classes and had lunch in the cafeteria.
Fu Xize had something to do at noon, so he didn't go back to the dormitory to rest. Xin Ai asked him about it, and he found out that Fu Xize was going to feed the cat at noon.
Xin Ai was not surprised. Fu Xize loved cats very much and had always wanted to raise one in his previous life. However, he did not raise one due to Xin Ai's mental instability. He only raised a pot of succulents. However, the stray cats in the yard had long been familiar to him. Every time they saw him, they would lie down like a pancake and let Fu Xize serve them.
Fu Xize may have been a cat lover since he was young, or even since he was a child.
Xin Ai had nothing else to do at noon, so he followed along.
Fu Xize had no objection and took Xin Ai to their association's base to get cat food and clean water. The cats in their school are fed by special people and eat a fixed brand of cat food. Frequent changes of cat food will cause the cats' stomachs to become uncomfortable.
It was also at this time that Xin Ai found out that Fu Xize had joined a club, the Small Animal Protection Association.
Xin Ai was quite shocked.
Fu Xize, such a cold and cool guy, doesn't seem to know how to join any clubs. Even if he wants to, he will definitely join the Student Union or the Computer Association related to his major. It sounds very high-end and impressive, but Fu Xize didn't join any of them. He only joined the Small Animal Protection Association.
This strong contrast is absolutely amazing.
Fu Xize is so cute.
Xin Ai asked with a smile: "So, you only joined the Small Animal Protection Association."
Fu Xize said "hmm". There was nothing wrong with admitting this.
Xin Ai asked, "Why did you join this club? No, I don't mean anything else, it's just that... I feel like you're not very good at playing in clubs."
Fu Xize replied in a gentle voice: "There is a cat on the flyer."
Xin Ai: “…No wonder.”
As Fu Xize is a cat lover, he absolutely couldn't move his legs when he saw the cat on the flyer.
The fact is similar. After Fu Xize went to university, he had no plans to join any clubs. He was not sociable by nature and was too lazy to go out to socialize.
On the day of the club's recruitment, he walked by the recruitment tent with his schoolbag on his shoulder. He didn't even look at the flyers handed to him until he saw a flyer with a cat on it.
It was a little kitten, just born not long ago, so cute and adorable, so cute that it made my blood bleed. The flyer for recruiting new members was printed in black and white to save money, but even this black and white ID photo could not hide the kitten's stunning beauty.
Fu Xize was stuck in place for thirty seconds. When he came to his senses, he had already reached the recruitment tent, paid the fee and left his contact information.
Xin Ai smiled and commented: "That's good, a member of the Small Animal Protection Association."
Fu Xize said calmly: "It's the president."
Xin Ai exclaimed: "It's rising so fast."
Fu Xize said helplessly: "It's a new association with not many people. I became the president for no reason."
Xin Ai exclaimed, “Ah?!”
Fu Xize briefly explained the matter to Xin Ai.
It was probably in the afternoon when Fu Xize received a text message from the association asking him to attend a meeting. He had just joined the club and there was a cat in the club, so he went naturally. But the meeting was very boring. It was probably a meeting for the association's internal election. Anyway, Fu Xize fell asleep on the table.
After sleeping for a while, the meeting was over and Fu Xize got up to leave. He was still a little groggy because he had just woken up, and his classmates began to call him "President". Fu Xize almost thought he was sleepwalking and went up to vote. You know, he joined the Small Animal Protection Association because he had cats, and he himself was not interested in the position of president, which seemed to be a lot of work.
The former president told him that their association’s elections use an anonymous voting system, and all members have the opportunity to compete for the presidency, and it all depends on who gets the most votes.
Anyway, when the votes were read out, he had the most votes.
Fu Xize just wanted to resign on the spot, but resigning was also very troublesome. He had to hold a new meeting to elect a new president, and holding a meeting was very painful. The former president meant that he would recruit new people after this year and then hand over the position.
Xin Ai was not surprised that Fu Xize became the president. The Small Animal Protection Association was indeed not very popular. On the contrary, it was quite unpopular. Fu Xize loved cats and was handsome. With him in charge, there would be no problem recruiting new members for the next term.
Xin Ai said: "It's really good, President."
Fu Xize glanced at him and said nothing.
The two chatted as they walked, and then went to the fixed feeding point to replace fresh cat food and water for the cats in the school.
This is the time when cats eat. The school cats are very familiar with each other with their classmates and are not afraid of strangers at all. After eating their fill, these cats lie on the grass and let people touch them.
Fu Xize really loves cats. When talking about cats, he even becomes more talkative. He stroked the cat and said, "This one is very well behaved when it's full, so you can touch it as you like. The other one is a little fierce, so you can only touch it if you know it well."
Xin Ai followed and touched the cow cat. It was soft and warm. It felt relaxing and happy to touch, and it felt very healing.
Fu Xize took out his phone again, entered the album, and showed him the old photos of Big Fat Orange: "I took a photo of this orange cat a month ago. It was a skinny boy, but now it's as fat as a pig. I'm trying to make it lose weight."
Xin Ai looked at the fat orange cat in front of her and felt a little embarrassed: "I thought it was pregnant, so I gave it more cat food."
Fu Xize: “…”
This fat can't be lost.
Xin Ai also blushed for a moment, and he explained: "Look at its belly, it's almost hanging to the ground, it looks like it's pregnant."
Xin Ai looked at its big belly and really thought it was pregnant. Of course it had to eat more if it had a baby, so she poured a lot of cat food and was very satisfied that it finished eating it all. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a male cat, and a fat male cat that needed to lose weight.
Fu Xize had no good idea for this fat orange cat. It really couldn't lose weight because it ate too much. So Fu Xize took Xin Ai to see the two-month-old kitten: "That's it, the one on the association's recruitment flyer this year. It was it that lured me to join the club."
It was a white cat, its entire body was snow-white, with ice-blue pupils. It looked calm, well-behaved and cute, an absolute beauty. No wonder it was printed on their association's flyers and seduced Fu Xize to join the club.
Xin Ai said: "This beauty makes me want to join the Small Animal Protection Association."
Fu Xize picked it up and handed it to Xin Ai: "You can touch it now. When it changes its teeth in two months, it may not know the severity of the situation and may bite people easily. It's best not to touch it then. You have to teach it slowly."
Xin Ai obediently reached out and stroked the little kitten.
Looking at these small animals living in human society, Xin Ai's heart softened. Being born as a human being may be the real simple model.
After the two fed the cats, they put the remaining cat food back to the association's base. Their association had a rotation system for feeding the cats, and today was Fu Xize's turn. The next time they would feed the cats would be next week.
The two washed their hands and rushed to the teaching building to prepare for the afternoon class.
Fu Xize tilted his head to look at Xin Ai, somewhat puzzled as to why Xin Ai didn't take advantage of the situation to ask him to support him.
Fu Xize was in the most leisurely period of his life, and he happened to have some money, so he could afford to support the Crown Prince. If he didn't have enough money, he could go and earn more. There was plenty of money outside anyway.
While Xin Ai was feeding the cat, he did try to tease Fu Xize to let him raise him, but he gave up quickly. When you hear Fu Xize talk about all the cats in the school, you know that he really loves cats. Xin Ai is not going to battle with a cat, in case he loses.
Never mind, let’s find another time.
They both had classes all afternoon, and after finishing their studies, they had dinner together and took a walk around the campus to digest their food.
The moonlight was like water, casting a silvery glow. Xin Ai's mood was as peaceful as the night. Xin Ai sometimes felt that there was nothing wrong with continuing to get along with Fu Xize. Fu Xize was very good to him and was opening up his world to him little by little.
In just seven days, Xin Ai had come into contact with all of Fu Xize's roommates, taken classes with him, learned about the clubs he joined, and also clearly noticed that Fu Xize treated him differently.
Take your time and don't rush.
Xin Ai told herself.
But deep in Xin Ai's heart, he is full of desire for Fu Xize. He is not satisfied with just being with Fu Xize. He wants Fu Xize to kiss him, hug him and love him. He wants to be entangled with him and be intimate with him and become a real lover.
These strong desires told him all the time that he loved Fu Xize, he could not live without Fu Xize, and he wanted Fu Xize to return him the same warm and deep love.
But his confession always fails?
What's missing?
Fu Xize clearly told his parents that they were bound to have a talk in the future.
Xin Ai turned to look at Fu Xize and asked bluntly, "What do you want in order to be with me?"
Fu Xize heard his own heartbeat, "thump," "thump," so clear and loud. He had been waiting for Xin Ai to ask him today. He even thought that if Xin Ai didn't ask, he would ask. There were some people he didn't want to miss and only wanted to hold them tightly, even for a moment.
But he waited, didn't he?
Xin Ai took the initiative to ask him about his feelings.
Xin Ai must be somewhat confused, as his confession has never been successful.
Not sure if it was a blessing or some strange coincidence, Xin Ai suddenly recalled some scenes from her past life.
He rested his head on Fu Xize's thighs as they watched a movie in the home theater. Fu Xize's hands ran through his thick long hair and stroked his earlobes, kneading them delicately with affection.
Maybe it was some weird sexual fetish, but Fu Xize seemed to like pinching his earlobes. In Xin Ai's memory, there were too many similar scenes to count.
Could it be...that this is where the problem lies?
Xin Ai didn't care. He grabbed Fu Xize's hand and stroked his right cheek and right ear. He said, "Can I let you pinch my earlobe?"
