Chapter 42: Breaking the Jar
Xie Ting glared at Chu Chenghuan like a ferocious beast as he leisurely walked into the dormitory carrying his suitcase. Chu Chenghuan thoughtfully locked the door and placed his suitcase next to Xie Ting's. Xie Ting's suitcase was black, and so was his. They were a couple's suitcase.
Xie Ting even retreated behind the wall, frowning angrily: "You lied to me!"
Chu Chenghuan hummed calmly, his tone firm: "I did lie to you."
Xie Ting felt even more justified. Just as he was about to babble to claim the moral high ground, he heard Chu Chenghuan say, "I tricked you into a kiss."
Xie Ting:!
Xie Ting's face flushed immediately. He pointed at Chu Chenghuan, who was looking at him with a smile not far away, and scolded: "You are shameless!"
Chu Chenghuan didn't have much temper. He kept a safe distance from Xie Ting and asked, "I like you, how is that shameless?"
"You cheated me out of a kiss." Xie Ting cried bitterly with every word.
Chu Chenghuan raised his eyebrows slightly and walked towards Xie Ting calmly, "Just touching my face is called a kiss?"
Xie Ting was now paying close attention to Chu Chenghuan's every move. The moment Chu Chenghuan took a step, he quickly climbed the ladder back to his bed. Xie Ting wrapped himself up, "Anyway, you didn't go abroad. So, Chu Chenghuan, go apply for a room change."
Xie Ting was also very confident and thought that Chu Chenghuan owed him this!
Chu Chenghuan looked up and said, "We can't change. Why do you think there are only two of us in this dormitory?"
Xie Ting realized something instantly.
"What did you do?"
Chu Chenghuan withdrew his gaze mysteriously, and took Xie Ting's wet wipes to wipe the table under the bed on the wall next to Xie Ting.
Xie Ting felt that Chu Chenghuan was more and more hateful.
So Xie Ting chose to hurt himself a thousand times and said sullenly: "You will never be able to pursue me with this attitude."
Chu Chenghuan said calmly: "You are a straight man, I won't pursue you."
Xie Ting felt like he had punched into cotton.
"Have you given up now?" Xie Ting couldn't help but feel that Chu Chenghuan hadn't given up on him. If he had, how could he possibly share a dorm with him? But Xie Ting still wanted to ask. What if? What if Chu Chenghuan still wanted to be his brother?
"No." Chu Chenghuan said something very vulgar in a calm tone, "In that dream of mine, you swear to be my wife."
Chu Chenghuan put down the wet wipes and looked up at Xie Ting, who was already dazed. He said in a low voice, "Hello, my wife."
Xie Ting: “…”
Xie Ting hid himself in the quilt, his face burning with heat! Chu Chenghuan, during the time he hadn't seen him during the summer vacation, wasn't trying to learn to be a good person. Instead, he was planning to harass him like a pervert!
He actually called her his wife! He had never been so shameless in his previous life!
Xie Ting opened the quilt again, and lying on the edge of the bed, he looked down at Chu Chenghuan, who was suffering from mysophobia, and said coldly: "The more you do this, the more I hate you. We can't be friends anymore."
Chu Chenghuan just said "oh" lightly.
Xie Ting questioned: "So bland?"
"What else? Haven't you hated me for a long time? From the moment I kissed you. What happened cannot be changed, and I can't change my love for you. Then no matter what I do, won't you hate me?" Chu Chenghuan asked back reasonably.
Xie Ting: “…”
Xie Ting understood.
Chu Chenghuan, this is a broken jar!
But he didn't hate Chu Chenghuan. Just as Xie Ting opened his mouth, Chu Chenghuan said sternly, "Don't try to appease me. If you really didn't hate me, would you let me go abroad? Tingting, I haven't received a single call these days."
Xie Ting felt wronged when he was questioned like this: "I'm sad too. Who can stand you suddenly acting like that? I wasn't flirting with you. I've always told you I'm straight. You're the one who's going too far!"
"It was you who had to find someone to annoy me. Two days ago, you promised to try to accept my feelings, but ended up finding a girlfriend. Tingting, am I too much or are you too much?" Chu Chenghuan knew the reason, but still pretended that he had not recovered his memory and questioned Xie Ting.
Xie Ting suddenly felt guilty.
Xie Ting scratched his head.
Chu Chenghuan sneered and opened his mouth to mock: "Can't you say it? You can't even find a real girlfriend, and you have to spend money to find someone to pretend. You don't even have a girl you like. And you're straight?"
Xie Ting muttered unhappily at this venomous look: "There will be more in the future."
"There won't be any in the future. Honey, just look at me."
Xie Ting: !!!!!!
Xie Ting hid in his bed again, not wanting to see Chu Chenghuan acting like such a scoundrel. He clearly hadn't recovered his memory, but he was even more scoundrel than in his previous life! So, even without his memory, would he still be the same person?
Xie Ting didn't believe it, it was definitely not just one person.
His brother Chu Chenghuan was only forced into a desperate situation by him and loved him too much, so he would not become a pervert.
A moment later, there was a knock on the dormitory door. Xie Ting immediately threw back the covers and curiously peeked in. It was the Chu family's servants, carrying Chu Chenghuan's various luggage, including a refrigerator.
Xie Ting: “…”
Xie Ting murmured: "Master, you are here to study, not to enjoy yourself."
"There's cake inside, come down and eat."
Xie Ting hesitated for a second, and the uncle carrying the refrigerator also smiled and said, "Really, there are not only small cakes but also chocolate and ice cream. The young master asked us to buy them."
Hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to the food!
Xie Ting got out of bed and opened the refrigerator door to find a pile of snacks—all his favorites! He found a box of small cakes. While he was eating, a roommate from another dorm heard the noise and came over curiously to check on him.
Xie Ting wasn't a generous person either. The snacks Chu Chenghuan bought weren't cheap. Xie Ting walked over and closed the door. "If you have anything to say, let's talk tomorrow."
Jiang Li, who was full of curiosity, was also locked outside the door.
Xie Ting hesitated and walked to Chu Chenghuan's side. Chu Chenghuan glanced at Xie Ting, and Xie Ting showed a kind smile. Chu Chenghuan declined in a low voice: "Wife, if we are just friends, don't say that."
Xie Ting suddenly lost the taste of the cake in his hand. He silently moved to his seat, ate the cake in a few bites, and returned to his bed. After the dormitory was completely renovated, he and Chu Chenghuan were the only ones left.
Xie Ting, seemingly scrolling through his phone, was actually eavesdropping on Chu Chenghuan's every move. After Chu Chenghuan finished his shower, Xie Ting heard a noise on the ladder. Xie Ting's eyes shifted furtively from his phone, and as soon as he glanced, he caught sight of Chu Chenghuan approaching his bed in broad daylight.
Xie Ting:!
Xie Ting quickly sat up, "What are you doing?"
Chu Chenghuan expressionlessly lifted Xie Ting's quilt. Xie Ting had no choice but to move into the bed. Chu Chenghuan lay down, closed his eyes, and said confidently, "I don't know how to make the bed."
Xie Ting was incredulous: "Then why didn't you let your servant help you lay the bed?"
"I'm a germaphobe."
Xie Ting: “…”
Xie Ting stared at Chu Chenghuan, who was sleeping on the bed he had painstakingly made, and was furious. Chu Chenghuan, who had given up hope, was truly fearless!
In this case, Xie Ting can only take a step back.
"I'll help you lay the bed."
Chu Chenghuan's bed was piled with neatly folded bedding. Xie Ting turned over Chu Chenghuan's bed and began his clumsy journey of making the bed. While Xie Ting was making it, Chu Chenghuan sat up from the bed. When Xie Ting had worked hard for half a day and was almost done with his sheets, Chu Chenghuan said, "I won't sleep until it's neatly made."
Xie Ting was not one to be bullied. When Chu Chenghuan said this, he tore up Chu Chenghuan's bed and said indignantly: "I was kind enough to make the bed for you, and you still do this! Chu Chenghuan, don't sleep!"
Chu Cheng said quietly, "Is this how a follower treats your young master?"
"Didn't you say I'm your husband..." Xie Ting's mouth was faster than his brain, and he realized it mid-sentence and immediately fell silent. He glared at Chu Chenghuan, snorted loudly, and pointed at the bed, saying, "I worked hard to make it, don't be ungrateful."
Chu Chenghuan chuckled and tactfully returned to his bed.
Fragrant.
The taste of Xie Ting.
Xie Ting also returned to his bed. After returning, he saw Chu Chenghuan made the bed in two or three strokes. Realizing that Chu Chenghuan knew how to make the bed, he fell asleep angrily, but at the same time, the stone pressing on his chest disappeared.
Xie Ting thought, he was still a little reluctant to let Chu Chenghuan go abroad. Although... although Chu Chenghuan had done something very bad, but, but the bond of eighteen years really couldn't be abandoned at any time and place.
I hope Chu Chenghuan is just a smooth talker and is actually a gentleman!
The next day.
Jiang Li from the next dormitory also saw that Xie Ting's dormitory door was open, so he hurried over to visit.
Xie Ting's dorm looked brand new compared to yesterday. There was a refrigerator, a washing machine, and even kitchen appliances like a microwave. And surprisingly, the power didn't go out! The only thing missing was Chu Chenghuan. So, this truly is a world for the rich, Jiang Li sighed.
Xie Ting was eating noodles. Sitting next to Xie Ting was a handsome man with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Jiang Li recognized him; it was Chu Chenghuan, who had come the previous night. He was fiddling with his phone. Jiang Li called out to Xie Ting, who greeted him warmly.
Jiang Li greeted Chu Chenghuan again in a reserved manner.
Chu Chenghuan hummed calmly, clearly not curious about who he was. Jiang Li didn't want to be boring, so he walked over and looked at Chu Chenghuan curiously, asking Xie Ting, "Didn't you say Chu Chenghuan went abroad to study?"
Xie Ting chirped Chu Chenghuan in front of him, "He lied to me."
Jiang Li laughed and said, "I want to give you a surprise, but you have a roommate now, so I can't share a dorm with you."
Jiang Li felt a little regretful.
Chu Chenghuan glanced at Xie Ting who was slurping noodles and asked, "You want to share a dorm with him?"
Xie Ting slurped halfway and muttered, "It's none of your business!"
"Indeed, I shouldn't have cared about you. Sorry." Chu Chenghuan apologized self-deprecatingly.
Xie Ting:?
Xie Ting turned his head and looked at Chu Chenghuan in disbelief. What... was going on?
Jiang Li was also stunned. He looked at Xie Ting and Chu Chenghuan and said what he thought was a fair statement: "Xie Ting, don't lose your temper with Chu Chenghuan."
Xie Ting:?
Xie Ting turned his head to look at Jiang Li again. Was he angry with Chu Chenghuan? It was Chu Chenghuan who had the weird temper, right?
"He's pretending!" Xie Ting said with certainty.
Chu Chenghuan stood up again and said gently, "It's my problem. Tingting, I'll go buy your favorite milk tea. You guys chat."
Xie Ting: ? ?
After Chu Chenghuan left, Jiang Li said earnestly, "Did you and Chu Chenghuan get along like this before? You can't get along with him like this now. Chu Chenghuan was the most handsome boy on campus in high school, so it's only a matter of time before he becomes the most handsome boy on campus in college. Once he becomes famous, his suitors will not let you go if they know you treated him like this. College life is not as innocent as high school."
Xie Ting thought that Chu Chenghuan's success as the school hunk in high school was due to his sudden inspiration! But at this moment, Xie Ting looked innocent: "He is really pretending. He is not such a humble person."
Jiang Li patiently asked, "Then what is he pretending?"
Xie Ting insisted: "Pretending to be generous."
"Why are you pretending to be magnanimous?"
Xie Ting touched his chin. Unexpectedly, why would Chu Chenghuan, a spoiled child who could do whatever he wanted and was so reckless, pretend to be so generous?
Xie Ting: "Let me ask him."
Jiang Li narrowed his eyes.
"Xie Ting, be nice to your friend."
Xie Ting has no way to defend himself!
