Taurus and Scorpio are a perfect match
Lu Yu woke up in the dim morning light.
He opened his eyes, his mind blank for a few seconds. Then, everything that had happened in the rehearsal room last night flashed back to him like a clear movie. The cold air in the rehearsal room, the starry sky playing on repeat, the loneliness in Shi Guang's eyes, and finally... that clumsy kiss tinged with salty tears, that trembling body that held him tightly with all its strength, and that confession that had almost exhausted all his courage.
Not a dream.
Lu Yu's cheeks began to heat up uncontrollably. He subconsciously raised his hand and gently touched his lips with his fingertips, as if he could still feel the electric shock.
Boy friend.
This realization made his heart tremble, and then he was overwhelmed by immense ecstasy. He almost immediately turned over, his movements as light as a cat, his eyes cast accurately at the bed opposite.
Time is still sleeping, breathing steadily.
He lay on his side, his cheek half sunken in the soft pillow, revealing a graceful neck.
The morning light outlined his thin figure, and his face, which was always tense, looked particularly soft in his sleep.
Lu Yu just stared at her motionlessly, his lips curling uncontrollably. His heart felt like it was soaked in a honey pot, every cell clamoring for sweetness. He picked up his phone, unable to resist, and secretly took a photo of the sleeping face. Then, like a guilty thief, he set it as his lock screen wallpaper.
After doing all this, he felt full of endless energy. He put on his clothes quietly and slipped out of the dormitory.
Half an hour later, Lu Yu returned like a gust of wind, carrying a plastic bag. He unloaded the contents one by one and carefully placed them on Shi Guang's desk. They were all breakfast items from the old shop near the school gate: preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and freshly fried dough sticks. They were steaming hot and fragrant.
He remembered Shi Guang once mentioned that the taste of this restaurant was a bit like the one downstairs from his childhood home.
Perhaps the aroma of the food was too overpowering. Fatty Jiang poked his head out from the upper bunk, his hair a messy, and said in a slurred voice, "Damn it, Brother Lu, you got up so early to buy breakfast? The sun is rising from the west?"
"Shut up, yours is on the table." Lu Yu pointed at another serving of soy milk and fried dough sticks in annoyance.
Perhaps Lu Yu's voice was too joyful. Shi Guang slowly sat up from the bed and rubbed his eyes, obviously having been woken up.
"Awake?" Lu Yu's voice was filled with an irrepressible smile. "Go wash up quickly and eat while it's hot."
Their eyes met.
Shi Guang's eyes still held the confusion and haziness of a moment of awakening. He stared at Lu Yu, seemingly still unresponsive. A few seconds later, the thrilling confession and desperate kiss from last night flooded back into his memory like a tide.
“!”
His body suddenly stiffened, and a surge of heat rushed from his neck to his cheeks, staining even his fair ears with a thin layer of pink. He looked away in a panic and pulled up the quilt, almost burying himself in it.
Seeing his reaction like a frightened little animal, Lu Yu couldn't help laughing any longer. He was in such a good mood that he could take off on the spot.
"Good morning," his voice was filled with the hoarseness unique to the early morning, and a hint of an uncontrollable smile, "My...boyfriend."
He spoke the last three words softly and slowly, as if he was tasting the sweetest candy.
Shi Guang buried herself in the quilt, only revealing a pair of shy and annoyed eyes staring at him, but she did not refute.
A few minutes later, Shi Guang finally got off the bed, grabbed his toiletries, and fled into the bathroom. Lu Yu immediately followed him cheerfully, like a giant tail.
The two stood side by side in front of the bathroom mirror. A slightly awkward intimacy hung in the air. Shi Guang lowered his head to brush his teeth while Lu Yu leaned against the door, watching him with a burning, undisguised gaze.
"You..." Shi Guang spoke vaguely with foam in his mouth, "...you don't want to brush it?"
"I finished brushing my teeth a long time ago." Lu Yu smiled like a fox that had successfully stolen some meat. "Besides, watching you brush your teeth is much more interesting than doing it myself."
This made Shi Guang pause, his face turning even redder. He quickened his pace, rinsing the foam from his mouth, accidentally getting a little on the corner of his mouth. Before he could wipe it off himself, a warm hand reached out, and Lu Yu's thumb gently brushed the corner of his lips.
The warmth of his fingertips seemed to carry an electric current. Shi Guang's body froze, and in the mirror, he met Lu Yu's deep, smiling eyes. He rushed out of the bathroom as if he was running away.
Returning to his seat, he looked at the bowl of porridge with mixed feelings.
"This... you bought it?"
"What else?" Lu Yu sat down next to him and said confidently, "This is a boyfriend's exclusive benefit. I'll pay for your breakfast from now on."
Shi Guang picked up the spoon and silently drank a mouthful of porridge. The warm feeling slid down his esophagus into his stomach, dispelling the last bit of coolness in the early morning and calming the panic in his heart.
Just as the dormitory atmosphere was gradually warming up, Sun Rui, who was on the upper bunk, woke up. He calmly pushed his glasses up, glanced around the room, and then issued his morning observation report:
"Based on analysis of heart rate changes, external signs of dopamine secretion, and non-essential material exchange behavior, conclusion: Relationship confirmed. Congratulations."
Fat Jiang was chewing on a fried dough stick and nearly choked when he heard that. He pointed at Lu Yu and Shi Guang and finally realized, "Holy crap! So last night you weren't going... you were going... to do some serious work?! Are you two a couple?!"
Faced with the shocked or calm gazes of his two roommates, Shi Guang wanted to bury his head in the bowl of porridge.
Lu Yu seemed to have finally waited for this moment. He laughed heartily, embraced Shi Guang, and, ignoring his struggle, announced to the entire dormitory like a victorious general:
"That's right, I see it all clearly. From today on, Time is mine!"
This resounding announcement not only stunned Fatty Jiang but also made Shi Guang's face look completely cooked. He struggled hard, but failed to free Lu Yu's iron-clad arms. He had no choice but to give up resistance and resign himself to being a large human pendant.
"Oh my God!" Fat Jiang finally recovered from his shock. He slapped his thigh, his face instantly transformed into an ecstatic expression of "I've hit it!" "I told you! I've seen that there's something going on between you two! My eyes are made for couples! No way, I have to post something in the super topic and tell everyone that we're just one official announcement away from victory!"
As he spoke, he actually took out his cell phone and started typing away.
After breakfast, the four of them went to their morning professional classes together.
As soon as he walked out of the dormitory building, Lu Yu reached out and held the hand of Shi Guang who was walking beside him.
Shi Guang's body tensed instantly, as if he'd been electrocuted, and he subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back. This was downstairs in the dormitory, people were coming and going, and countless gazes were drifting towards him. He wasn't ready for this kind of open intimacy.
Lu Yu sensed his resistance, but didn't let go. He simply held his hand tighter, using his body temperature to warm the slightly cold fingertips of Shi Guang.
Time's struggle gradually weakened. He could feel Lu Yu's broad, dry palms, a thin layer of calluses on the palms, the marks left by years of playing ball. The rough touch and irresistible warmth strangely gave him an unprecedented sense of security.
He finally gave up and let the man lead him into the bright autumn sunshine.
Fat Jiang and Sun Rui tactfully walked ahead, automatically separating them by a few steps. Fat Jiang held his head high, like a bodyguard escorting a royal family on tour. He scanned every curious passerby with his eyes, muttering, "What are you looking at? Jiang University's Person of the Year is out and about, everyone stay away!"
The journey from the dormitory to the teaching building was only ten minutes, but Shi Guang felt as if he had walked the longest distance of his life. He could clearly feel the gazes cast upon them, filled with surprise, curiosity, and inquiry. There were even a few girls whispering to each other not far away, pointing and commenting at them.
He was so nervous that his palms began to sweat and his back was a little stiff. He had always been used to being the most inconspicuous and invisible person in the crowd, but Lu Yu's presence meant that he could no longer keep a low profile.
Just when he was about to collapse, Lu Yu suddenly pinched his palm, tilted his head, and whispered in his ear: "Hold your head high, chest out. My boyfriend can't be so unimpressive."
The warm breath blew against Shi Guang's ear, making it itch. He raised his head and met Lu Yu's smiling eyes. There was no concern or evasion in those eyes, only full of calmness and... pride.
It was as if holding his hand was something worth showing off to the whole world.
At that moment, the heart of time suddenly calmed down.
Yes, what is there to be afraid of?
He looked at the young man beside him, who shone like the sun, and their tightly clasped hands. The gazes that had once frightened him no longer seemed so terrifying.
When they entered the lecture hall, Lu Yu was not shy at all. He directly pulled Shi Guang and sat in the middle of the classroom.
"Sit...sit here?" Shi Guang felt a little uncomfortable.
"Of course," Lu Yu helped him put the book away and said as a matter of course, "The best viewing area, convenient for watching the professor, and also convenient for others to watch us."
When he said this, he did not lower his voice at all. Several students sitting next to him smiled ambiguously when they heard it.
Shi Guang was a bit distracted during the class. He could sense that Lu Yu, beside him, was now existing in a completely new way. He no longer glanced at him furtively, but now openly nudged him with his elbow to remind him to take notes. Or, under the table, he'd gently bump his leg with his knee, earning him a helpless glare.
When the white-haired old professor was speaking excitedly at the podium, Lu Yu suddenly handed him a small note.
Time unfolded doubtfully, and on it was Lu Yu's flamboyant handwriting:
[I checked last night, Taurus and Scorpio are a perfect match.]
Shi Guang stared at the words for a long time before realizing he was talking about their zodiac signs. He couldn't help but want to laugh, but it also felt childish. He took out a pen, thought for a moment, and wrote back on the back of the note:
【superstitious. 】
The note was passed back and quickly returned.
No, that's called big data analysis.
Finally, Shi Guang couldn't help himself and raised the corner of his mouth in a very shallow arc. The sunlight shone in from the window and fell on the corner of his slightly raised lips.
