Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Ning Ji was confused. …
Ning Ji didn't understand why.
Finally, amidst the constant sounds of Xiao Ning, I sat down to have dinner with Yan Sui’s friends in a daze.
Perhaps it was because Yan Sui's friends were too enthusiastic. Not only did he not feel uncomfortable, but when he heard Qi Lan and his group secretly telling him gossip about Yan Sui, his ears perked up and he was very interested.
Yan Sui was processing the cod in the refrigerator at the kitchen island. From time to time, he looked up at the group of people who were chatting enthusiastically at the dining table. He wondered what they were talking about so enthusiastically.
Qi Lan: "Really, I didn't want to play with him at first. Think about it, he always gets first place, and every time my dad beats me up, he always asks me why I don't learn from Yan Sui."
Go ahead, he leaned back in his chair, pointed at the group of people sitting there and said with a smile, "Ask around here, is there anyone who has never heard of Yan Sui's name when they were beaten as a child?"
A group of people started laughing.
Qi Lan asked if it was the same when Ning Ji met Yan Sui in High School.
Ning Ji shook his head and said honestly that he always got the first place in the exams and had always been the child of other people's families since he was a child.
He deserves the title of little prodigy.
Qi Lan was stunned, scratched his head, looked Ning Ji up and down, and said that he should not be as hated as Yan Sui.
They asked when Ning Ji and Yan Sui knew each other. When Ning Ji said they knew each other in high school, the group immediately perked up and surrounded him, saying, "High school? After Yan Sui transferred to the high school in Quan City, there was a nasty person. He told us every other day that the person was always holding his head high like a stubborn donkey. Every year on his birthday, Yan Sui would wish that the mortal enemy would not grow taller."
Ning Ji: “?”
Qi Lan: "He said that every time he met that person, that person would roll his eyes at him. He was like a cannonball, exploding when touched, and rushing around all day long, hahahahaha."
They asked Ning Ji if he knew that person.
Ning Ji thought about it for a moment, and said sincerely: "If I'm not mistaken, I am the cannonball."
The air suddenly became quiet.
Yan Sui finished processing the cod and walked to the dining table with the plate. He was originally worried that Qi Lan and his group would talk nonsense and pester Ning Ji with endless questions, but when he pulled the chairs away from the dining table, he found that Qi Lan and his group were as quiet as chickens, as if
He was a little confused, and when pouring the drink, he whispered in Ning Ji's ear: "What happened to them?"
Ning Ji shook his head honestly and whispered in his ear: "I don't know. I told them that my name in high school was Ning Ji and that I was your mortal enemy, and they stopped talking."
Yan Sui: “…”
During the meal, Qi Lan and his group came back to life and racked their brains to make amends to Ning Ji, saying that Yan Sui had actually praised him in high school, saying that he was smart and cute, and that his small body contained great energy...
The group of people talked a lot until Ning Ji put down his chopsticks and said honestly, "I know."
Qi Lan and his group: “?!”
As Ning Ji spoke, he stood up and naturally moved the Kung Pao lobster balls and chopped pepper grouper in front of Yan Sui, saying that Yan Sui couldn't eat spicy food.
Qi Lan and his group: “?”
Why didn't they remember that Yan Sui couldn't eat spicy food? Yan Sui had obviously adapted to the taste of Quan City after transferring to another school.
Yan Sui looked extremely calm, and when he received the questioning gazes from others, he raised his eyes calmly and innocently, as if he just couldn't stand spicy food.
Halfway through the meal, a creative fusion dish, red oil abalone with foie gras, received unanimous negative reviews. Qi Lan commented that it did not taste as good as the white rice prepared by another overseas student, Tang Lei.
Tang Lei: "Come on, brother, if I leave you abroad, your cooking skills will get better." After that, he smiled and glanced at Yan Sui, "But then brother Sui shouldn't have to worry about it, he's such a good cook."
Yan Sui paused, then said calmly, "Even if there's food, it can't stop you from talking."
Qi Lan sat opposite him and asked Ning Ji with a smile: "Aren't you going out with your date during the National Day holiday, Xiao Ning?"
Yan Sui frowned and looked up at Qi Lan.
Ning Ji blinked and said that he didn’t have a partner.
Qi Lan: "How about I introduce one to you?"
Yan Sui stared at Qi Lan, gave him a warning look, and called Qi Lan's name in a bad tone, "Qi Lan, he is not gay."
Qi Lan teased: "When did I say Xiao Ning is gay? I haven't even said whether I want to introduce a boy or a girl to Xiao Ning, why are you so anxious?"
"How can you be so sure that the person I introduced to Xiao Ning is a boy? Some people have something to hide, but I don't."
Yan Sui choked.
Qi Lan smiled and said, "How could I introduce a boy to Xiao Ning? Xiao Ning looks straight at first glance."
Ning Ji, who was chewing on spicy crab, heard his name and nodded with his cheeks puffed out.
Qi Lan: "Xiao Ning, do you like senior girls or junior girls, or girls of the same age as you? Girls with long hair or short hair? Lively or quiet?
Ning Ji thought for a moment and said, "I like gentleness."
Qi Lan stretched out his voice: "Oh~ so gentle."
As he spoke, he looked at Yan Sui with a smile, "I actually know a few... They really like your style..."
Ning Ji: “Is there?”
Qi Lan: "Yes... Have you never received a love letter before?"
The two of them actually started communicating.
Yan Sui called Ning Ji in a deep voice.
Tang Lei bumped Yan Sui's arm and whispered teasingly, "Aren't you innocent with Xiao Ning? Why do you care whether she's in a relationship or not? You're just friends with her, why do you care so much?"
The people beside him leaned back in their chairs and teased, "That's right, it's innocent, Xiao Ning is going to have a relationship? Why are you in such a hurry?"
After the meal, Yan Sui barely moved his chopsticks, nor took two bites of rice. His face looked extremely bad, and a feeling of depression surged into his heart, which made him feel suffocated and unable to move. He couldn't even find a reason to get angry, and his brows were gloomy.
Just as Qi Lan said, he and Ning Ji are innocent, so what reason does he have to stop Ning Ji from falling in love?
Ning Ji is already an adult, and there are many people who like him, whether in college or high school. College is also a time of youth, so it is normal for Ning Ji to have a relationship.
But there was more than one voice in his heart. Another voice quietly emerged, like a strange secret language - they were tied together now, how could Ning Ji fall in love?
What if Ning Ji turned into a cat when he was in love, would his partner help Ning Ji hide the password without any scruples like him? The evil thoughts that emerged were dark, but they also comforted the negative thoughts that were secretly growing in his heart.
It seemed that as long as he held this thought, Ning Ji would be tied to him forever.
The sound of rushing water brought Yan Sui's thoughts back to reality. He was startled, took a deep breath, and cursed himself in his heart. He felt that he was crazy. How could he have such dark thoughts?
Yan Sui washed his hands, placed his hands on the sink, frowned, and suppressed the inexplicable irritation in his chest.
Qi Lan and a few others were cleaning the hall. As they were cleaning, they smiled and pinched their throats and said, "Brother Sui, why didn't you say that we didn't clean well enough? Why didn't you let us stay on the sofa?"
Yan Sui had a blank expression on his face, pretending not to hear. He kicked Qi Lan on the butt and told him to clean the dirty spot under the dining table. If he didn't, he would never be able to set foot in his house again.
Ning Ji was a little stunned watching from the side.
Before the room was cleaned up, Yan Sui discovered that Qi Lan and his group had already started betting in the group on how long it would take for him to fall in love, and they had even placed bets.
Yan Sui just felt that Qi Lan and his group were crazy. Spring hadn't even arrived yet, but they were jumping up and down like monkeys.
He made a bet on the option of absolutely no chance of falling in love. Qi Lan and the others laughed for a long time and began to persuade him to face his inner self.
Yan Sui pretended not to see it until he saw Qi Lan and others talking to him, saying that there was definitely something wrong with his feelings for Ning Ji, and that he had been talking about Ning Ji's name since high school.
For many years, Yan Sui would complain about anyone who got close to his mortal enemy Ning Ji.
For example, the person Ning Ji had called "senior" before, complained to them late at night while playing games with them, saying that he didn't understand why Ning Ji called that person "senior". That person's grades were not as good as his, he was not as tall as him, and he was not as good at sports as him. It was unbelievable that Ning Ji called such a person "senior".
Yan Sui: “…”
He asked Qi Lan: "Have I ever said something like this before?"
Qi Lan: ""There are so many. Those who know that you and Xiao Ning are sworn enemies, and those who don't know think that you like her - that tone is sour and jealous."
Even after sending Qi Lan and the others away and closing the door, Yan Sui still turned a deaf ear to it - how could he possibly like Ning Ji?
Ning Ji is not the only one in the world.
Ning Ji is good-looking, has good grades, a good personality, and is good at sports. Sometimes he gets angry like a firecracker and is quite cute, but how could he like Ning Ji?
He is not gay.
Ning Ji was playing games in the living room. Perhaps because he had a meal with Yan Sui's friends, he felt that he and Yan Sui were closer than before.
He swung his legs excitedly and asked Yan Sui if he wanted to play with him.
Yan Sui came back to his senses and asked him what rank he was at.
Ning Ji: “?”
He slumped down on the sofa and then got up. "You look down on me, don't you? Do you want to fight me in a one-on-one duel?"
Yan Sui: “No”
Ning Ji challenged him: "Are you scared?"
Yan Sui: "Let's have a one-on-one duel. We agreed that the loser has to call the winner "brother."
Ning Ji: "Just shout if you want."
He crossed his legs, sat up straight, rubbed his palms twice, and wanted to press Yan Sui to the ground and rub him.
In the end, he only won one of the three games.
Ning Ji was somewhat incredulous. He repeatedly reviewed the data of the three games and asked Yan Sui in shock, "How did you win?"
Ning Ji's confidence before the start of the game was not groundless. His favorite hero was unpopular, and few people were good at it, but he had never lost in a one-on-one fight.
Yan Sui didn't say anything, leaning on the sofa, looking at Ning Ji lazily. He didn't say that he had searched Ning Ji's game account in high school. Although he and Ning Ji didn't get along in high school, they had many mutual friends.
A mutual friend once posted a screenshot of a game on WeChat Moments. Ning Ji’s game nickname was the same as his online nickname, except for an extra punctuation mark.
Yan Sui had seen Ning Ji’s game homepage many times, knew Ning Ji’s favorite hero, had watched Ning Ji’s games many times with his passerby account, and knew all the details of Ning Ji’s games.
Of course, he wouldn't tell Ning Ji any of this.
Seeing Ning Ji's shocked expression, Yan Sui felt extremely happy.
He smiled and lazily asked Ning Ji to call him brother.
Ning Ji muttered, "I don't believe it..." He pestered Yan Sui to try again.
Yan Sui: "Call me brother first, don't play tricks, I'll fight you after that."
Ning Ji had been playing games for so long without being pinned to the ground by anyone, and he was eager to play another round with Yan Sui, eager to turn the tables.
He pestered Yan Sui and called him "brother" in a very urgent manner, looking at him with his head half tilted up, as if begging for something.
At that moment, Yan Sui's back felt numb, his throat moved a few times, and he stared at Ning Ji. As his childhood friend's words passed by his ears, something in his heart suddenly changed.
Ning Ji thought he didn't hear it, so he called out again.
Yan Sui tilted his head as if he couldn't bear it, as if some secret sexual fetish of his had been touched again.
