Chapter 22 Waiting for him to be bent
High school military training lasted two weeks. On the first day, the opening ceremony was just as Hu Yaqin had predicted: a speech by a freshman representative. This freshman was Chu Chenghuan.
Chu Chenghuan was wearing camouflage uniform, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. As soon as he came on stage, Xie Ting, who was sitting below, heard bursts of exclamations.
"Who is this? Who is this? So handsome!!!"
"I met him in the cafeteria before. He's so handsome!"
"How could you not know him? He's very famous, handsome, good at studies, and most importantly, his family is extremely wealthy!"
Xie Ting, with his exceptional hearing, overheard the conversations from other classes. Chu Chenghuan, his position as the school hunk is secure!
After the opening ceremony on the first day, military training officially began on the second day. Standing at attention under the scorching sun was the hardest thing Xie Ting had ever endured. He spent the entire afternoon in a daze.
Chu Chenghuan was as calm as a shrew, even taking time to ponder Xie Ting's hand gripping his arm. Xie Ting's hand was a little darker. It was a good thing it was darker; if it were, he wouldn't mistake her for a princess anymore.
Xie Ting persisted for three days. On the third night, a Friday, after showering, he ran to Chu Chenghuan's bed and lay there, enjoying the air conditioning. Xie Ting was wearing shorts, his long legs draped over the bed, his knees bruised, as if they had been hit by something. This was the scene Chu Chenghuan saw when he emerged from the shower. Inexplicably, Chu Chenghuan felt the need to avoid suspicion, so he turned around and sat on the chair, his back to Xie Ting, wiping his hair.
After seeing Chu Chenghuan come out, Xie Ting sat up from the bed and said, "I have a surprise for you in a few days."
Chu Chenghuan had no expectations at all, his voice still carrying the damp, lazy air of someone who had just gotten out of the shower: "Your surprises are never good. They're either pornographic magazines or pornographic discs."
Xie Ting was stubborn: "That's an art magazine."
"What about discs? Are they also art?"
Xie Ting fell on the bed, and the next second, he started snoring.
Pretending to be asleep.
Chu Chenghuan: "..."
After a while, the snoring stopped, and Xie Ting, already tortured by the military training, fell into a deep sleep. Chu Chenghuan placed the towel beside the chair, gently stood up and walked to the bed, staring down at the already asleep Xie Ting.
About ten minutes later, Chu Chenghuan nonchalantly withdrew his gaze and pulled Xie Ting's pajamas down to cover his exposed belly. Chu Chenghuan then found some disinfectant and applied it to the bruises on Xie Ting's legs. He then turned off the air conditioner and lights, and fell asleep at a distance from Xie Ting.
A week later, the always talkative Xie Ting had already met all the students from other classes and could chat with anyone. Tong Hao took advantage of Xie Ting sitting alone on the stone steps to sit next to him and reminded him, "Since you are not a person like that, you should be more careful in your interactions with others."
Xie Ting held his cheeks with his hands and said, "What's the point? After breaking up with me, you're either overly concerned about my grades or playing dumb with me?"
Tong Hao sneered: "Aren't you overly concerned about my grades? You want me to be last more than anyone else, right? But now I don't need to care about your grades. You are last, and I am 34th."
Xie Ting put his hand down, feeling depressed. "So you came here just to mock my grades? If I'm last, then you're fourth from the bottom. I'll surpass you next time."
"Fuck! You've led me astray. This isn't what I came to you for today." Tong Hao paused for a second, then raised his chin slightly to gesture to a boy not far away. "That guy, I advise you not to get involved with him. Otherwise, you'll regret it."
Xie Ting also looked over and happened to meet the boy's eyes. Xie Ting looked away, confused: "Why?"
Tong Hao said directly: "Because he likes you. If you continue to pay attention to him, he will probably come to you to confess his feelings in a few days. You also have to be careful of Chu Chenghuan. My radar will not make mistakes."
Xie Ting:?
"Are you okay? Why didn't you tell the instructor that he liked me? Yesterday, the instructor said I was good-looking. Go away, don't say bad things about my brother. My brother is going to be the most handsome boy on campus soon!"
Tong Hao looked at Xie Ting's innocent appearance and felt very disappointed. "You'll know when you suffer the consequences!"
Xie Ting scratched his face, even more innocent.
Tong Hao: “…”
Although Xie Ting had chased Tong Hao away, he was still quite concerned about homosexuality. Perhaps it was because of his "better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one go" mentality, so Xie Ting really stopped actively talking to that boy.
It’s always right.
On the last day of military training, Chu Chenghuan, the top freshman, was about to give a speech on stage. Xie Ting listened for a while, got bored, and slipped out to buy milk tea. But before he got far, a boy called him back.
He was the boy Tong Hao had said she liked before.
Xie Ting was a little scared, "What's wrong?"
The boy nodded, looking very sincere. "Yes. Xie Ting, after this military training, we probably won't see each other very often. So there's something I have to let you know."
Xie Ting suddenly felt something was wrong and held out Erkang's hand, "You don't have to let me know! Keep it to yourself."
"Xie Ting, I like you!" The boy has confessed.
Xie Ting froze, staggering. Tong Hao, you really didn't lie to him!
Since Xie Ting didn't say anything, the boy scratched his head awkwardly. "I'm serious. I'm not looking for a romantic relationship with you. I just want you to know how I feel. If I don't let you know, there won't be another chance. Xie Ting, you're so pretty, prettier than anyone I've ever met!"
Xie Ting took a deep breath, paused for a moment, and uttered, "You, you, you actually took a detour as well?"
The boy smiled and said, "I'm a gay, so of course I'm taking a roundabout way."
Gay again?
Since he is in high school, isn't the probability of hearing this word from other people's mouths too high?
Xie Ting's eyes were filled with fear, "You, you have to take the right path. If you don't, I will tell the teacher!"
The boy had never expected that the person he liked would actually say something like "tell the teacher." The boy's love was shattered at that moment.
"Xie Ting, why are you this kind of person?"
Xie Ting bared his teeth. "That's who I am. I even discriminate against homosexuals! If you get close to me or Chu Chenghuan again, I'll sue the principal!"
The boy's eyes widened.
The boy pointed at Chu Chenghuan behind Xie Ting and said, "Why are you still dating Chu Chenghuan? Isn't he a man?"
When Xie Ting turned around, he was shocked to see Chu Chenghuan who was giving a speech on the stage a few minutes ago.
"Were you eavesdropping on me?"
"I just came here." Chu Chenghuan looked calm and there was no suspicion of lying.
Xie Ting quickly defended Chu Chenghuan again, "He is a man, but he is different from you!"
The boy sneered, "Xie Ting, my gay radar tells me that Chu Chenghuan is definitely gay too. You'll definitely fall into his hands in the future!"
?
What is radar?
Xie Ting firmly defended Chu Chenghuan: "Don't even think about spreading rumors! Chu Chenghuan is a straight man. He discriminates against gays, just like me!"
"Bullshit! My gay radar has never been wrong. Xie Ting, I'm waiting for you to regret it!" The boy no longer had the shyness he had when talking to Xie Ting at the beginning.
Xie Ting's eye twitched, "You're so angry out of shame!"
"Ah, I'm just pissed off. Liking you is on my criminal record! I'm waiting for you to get into trouble." The boy said this and left in style, leaving Xie Ting alone with a bewildered look on his face.
After Xie Ting calmed down, he realized that Chu Chenghuan had been mute beside him. Xie Ting turned around and questioned Chu Chenghuan, "Chu Chenghuan, he spread rumors about you being gay, why didn't you say a word?"
Chu Chenghuan then spoke: "It's not really a rumor."
Xie Ting stumbled, his pupils agape with shock. "Didn't you tell me you weren't gay?"
Chu Chenghuan said with reason: "I am not now, but that doesn't mean I won't be in the future."
Chu Chenghuan had just realized that liking a man wasn't such a shocking thing. He hadn't seen Tong Hao the last time, but this time, he saw a man sneaking up behind Xie Ting after he left. He had just finished his speech and came out, and he overheard the confession. Chu Chenghuan had already confessed his feelings to Xie Ting's face, so why couldn't he like a man?
This doesn't seem to be a curious idea, so he can just marry the little prince Xie Ting in the future.
Chu Chenghuan's eyes moved slightly.
"You won't be in the future either. We can't let that bad guy succeed! He is cursing me!" Xie Ting begged bitterly.
Chu Chenghuan lowered his eyes, not wanting to make Xie Ting worried or scared, and directly denied: "I'm not."
It's not really a lie.
Xie Ting knew that he thought of Xie Ting as a girl. If that was the case, then if Xie Ting was a girl, then he was definitely not gay. Apart from Xie Ting, no one else was worthy of his love.
Chu Chenghuan had a strange expression.
Xie Ting, is she so worthy of his love?
"Great, I'll treat you to milk tea!" Xie Ting felt relieved.
Milk tea shop.
Xie Ting bought two cups of milk tea and considerately put a straw into one before giving it to Chu Chenghuan. He sipped his own cup fiercely, his cheeks puffing up.
Chu Chenghuan thought, like a little hamster, so cute, how could he not like her? When he became gay, he would marry the little prince Xie Ting home.
