Chapter 23 Chapter 23 "If someone refuses to admit it after sleeping with you, you want to be...
Early in the morning, Pei Shuyu woke up slowly and found himself lying on a large bed.
Sunlight streamed through the window screen, falling directly onto the pristine white sheets. The glare caused Pei Shuyu to blink several times. He raised his hand to shield his eyes and slowly sat up.
"Hiss..." Pei Shuyu felt a sudden pain in his head, as if there were countless glass fragments hidden inside, making a scratching sound with the slightest movement.
As his vision gradually cleared, he realized with a start that he was in a completely unfamiliar room. He looked down and saw he was completely naked. To his right, he saw the floor littered with scattered clothing. To his left, he saw a man lying beside him.
A man...a...man!!!
It was Lu Hean, the young man who had helped him out last night! At this moment, the two of them were lying on the same bed, both shirtless!
Lu Hean lay curled up on his side, his messy hair half-hiding his sleepy eyes. Pei Shuyu's tug at the quilt caused it to slide down, revealing Lu Hean's lean upper body without reservation, his firm abdominal muscles faintly visible.
Pei Shuyu felt like he had seen a ghost. Suddenly, it felt like his hands and feet were not his own and he didn't know what to do with them.
In a moment of excitement, I rolled off the bed.
Then he realized he was only wearing...! How could this happen?! He hadn't drunk anything last night! How could he have lost his memory like this? He turned his head and looked at the ground. His shirt and pants were piled up with another person's clothes.
He was more or less an adult, so the implications of this situation were self-evident. However, aside from a slight headache, he felt no other discomfort.
After an agonizing inner struggle, Pei Shuyu devised a plausible explanation to comfort himself. His guess was: the two of them had been drinking and bragging to each other last night, getting drunk. Then, a kindhearted person took them to a hotel, and they finally spent the night sleeping under the covers.
Yes, that's it.
They have nothing, they are innocent.
Pei Shuyu comforted himself like this, then picked up his pants with a headache and put them on in no time.
Lu Hean was still asleep. Pei Shuyu didn't want to cause any misunderstanding, so he dug out his shirt from the pile of clothes he'd left overnight and slowly put it on. He kept observing Lu Hean's reaction as he did so. Lu Hean simply rolled over, lying flat on his back to reveal more of his toned chest muscles, his eyes still tightly closed.
Pei Shuyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he can run away.
"where are you going?"
Pei Shuyu had just tiptoed a few steps when he heard Lu Hean's slightly hoarse voice behind him. It was obvious that he had just woken up.
Lu Hean lifted the hair on his forehead slightly, revealing his sleepy eyes and looking at Pei Shuyu.
At this moment, Pei Shuyu was holding his shoes, his hair and clothes were messy, and his posture was like a thief.
Lu Hean suddenly understood and said in a low voice with grievance: "You don't admit it after sleeping with someone, do you want to be a scumbag?"
Judging from the tone, he was unhappy.
But Pei Shuyu's focus was on the first half of his sentence: Who slept with him? Who slept with whom? They...
"Me...me?" Pei Shuyu pointed at himself and spoke weakly, full of disbelief.
But he doesn't remember anything.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Lu Hean calmly asked him to go to the bathroom to check in the mirror, "There is a scratch on your back. I scratched it accidentally."
Actually, he had brought Pei Shuyu back yesterday. He hadn't expected him to be so unruly after drinking that even trying to change his clothes and shower him was like fighting. But considering the injury on his right hand, Lu Hean was cautious at first. It was Pei Shuyu's fussiness that had led to him resorting to coercion. He had really accidentally scratched him.
Upon hearing this, Pei Shuyu quickly put down his shoes and rushed to the bathroom. He turned his back to the mirror and lifted up his clothes. The glaring scratches on his back instantly chilled his heart, and he wanted to slap himself twice.
Pei Shuyu! Beauty can lead to misfortune!
Lu Hean folded his arms and looked towards the bathroom with interest.
When Pei Shuyu came out, he looked like a man who had lost his virginity and looked pitiful.
"I'm so sorry, I was drunk last night and I don't remember..." Pei Shuyu hurriedly explained.
"What do you mean?" Lu He'an pursed his lips and asked knowingly, "Don't you want to be responsible for me?"
"This... I... am not..." Pei Shuyu was also a little bewildered. They were both alphas. How could he really have done anything to the other one? Alphas couldn't tag each other. Even if something did happen, it was consensual between the two of them.
This is something we both want...
Seeing him so conflicted, Lu Hean didn't want to push him too hard. From what he'd observed, Pei Shuyu was clearly the type to respond softly, so he needed to take things slow.
So, he buried himself in the quilt and said sullenly, "You still don't believe it? Forget it, go away."
"Anyway, I'm just a college student with no money or influence. Yesterday, it was my own fault for wanting to sneak into the bar to see the world. I didn't expect...it was all my own fault, and it has nothing to do with you. Brother, you can go now, don't worry about me."
Pei Shuyu also didn't understand what was going on. He said "Oh" in a daze and was really about to walk out.
Lu Hean sat up suddenly, tears in his eyes, and looked at him sadly.
Pei Shuyu stopped again when he heard the sound.
It’s not right to leave now, and it’s not right not to leave either.
Pei Shuyu knew himself well enough to know that a life of romance wasn't for him. He was already alone, and now that he'd joined Saifan, he could lose his life on a mission any day. He wasn't cursing himself, but he felt that in such a situation, making a promise to someone would undoubtedly lead them into a dangerous situation.
But doing nothing doesn't seem right either.
"Me, how much do you want?"
Pei Shuyu regretted it the moment he said it. Seeing Lu Hean's increasingly ugly face, as if he was about to cry, he realized he had said the wrong thing again and quickly added, "Sorry."
Lu Hean didn't want to listen to his apology anymore. He pretended to wipe away his unfounded tears and made a direct request, "I don't want money. Will you date me?"
Seeing Pei Shuyu stunned, he changed the subject and said, "I've never been in a relationship. My roommates all have partners, and they always laugh at me. So just date me for a month and let them know that I'm in a relationship."
"You! You are a student?" Pei Shuyu seemed to have just realized and was shocked.
"Brother, I've said this before, your reaction time is a bit slow." Lu Hean picked up the scattered clothes on the ground with some dissatisfaction, and said as he put them on: "How about it? Is a month okay?"
Looking at Lu Hean's tearful expression, Pei Shuyu swallowed.
One month...
Pei Shuyu frowned slightly, feeling torn between his conscience and his conscience.
A one-month relationship should be okay, not too long nor too short.
"Alright..." Pei Shuyu gritted his teeth and uttered the two words with difficulty. It's only a month anyway, so I'll just consider it as repaying the favor from last night.
When Lu Hean heard this, his aggrieved expression instantly vanished, replaced by a barely perceptible sly smile, but he quickly returned to his harmless demeanor. "Then it's settled, from now on."
Pei Shuyu nodded helplessly and looked at Lu Hean. He always felt as if he had fallen into an elaborate trap, but he couldn't explain why.
The September sun has lost its harshness and feels comfortable and warm when it falls on people.
Lu Hean returned to the dormitory, unable to hide his joy.
Yu Jingheng, who was playing games, looked up at him, took off his headphones, and asked curiously, "Hey, what good thing happened to you today? You're laughing so cheaply."
Lu Hean went to bed with his phone in his hand. He didn't reply to him, but just looked at the phone screen happily.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
Despite Yu Jingheng's repeated questioning, Lu He'an didn't even give him a look.
"Lu Hean, if you don't tell me, I'll climb up to find you!" Yu Jingheng had already put one foot on the ladder after saying this, "Will you tell me or not?"
The game on the computer screen was not paused, because Yu Jingheng temporarily withdrew, and the teammates were no match for the four against five.
The four huge words "Game Failed" popped up, making a sound effect unique to failure.
Seeing that Yu Jingheng was really planning to come up.
Lu Hean replied impatiently: "I'm chatting with my boyfriend."
"Oh. A boyfriend? You're keeping it a secret." Yu Jingheng climbed down the ladder again.
"What!? You have a boyfriend!?"
Yu Jingheng was incredulous. He had grown up with Lu Hean. How could he not know that Lu Hean had a boyfriend? He had never seen Lu Hean like anyone before.
But this is also a good thing, Yu Jingheng can't wait a moment.
He had already started editing his circle of friends, preparing to "bless" his good brother to find a partner. This was also to let his goddesses know the good news. Before, his goddesses each gave Lu Hean gifts, which made him feel a sense of crisis for a while.
Now that’s good, Lu Hean has a boyfriend.
Yu Jingheng was secretly delighted, but he was still curious about who this genius was, so he bent his head and lay down beside Lu Hean's bed.
He raised his neck with great effort through the railing.
Lu Hean was still admiring some photos he had taken secretly when he suddenly felt a burning gaze from the side.
He turned around and saw Yu Jingheng looking at him with the expression of a seasoned veteran.
"What are you doing?" Lu Hean asked unhappily.
"Who is your boyfriend? Is he someone I know? From our school? Whose omega is he?" Yu Jingheng was still typing, and he kept looking at Lu Hean.
The dormitory door opened and closed, and the other two roommates came back.
Seeing this scene, everyone was curious and put down their things to gather around. They looked at the computer on the table. The screen was still on, and the huge "Game Failed" message was still there. They looked at Lu Hean, and finally at Yu Jingheng.
"What are you two doing?"
It was rare to see Yu Jingheng, the internet-addicted teenager, not even playing games, and they smelled a hint of something fishy.
Yu Jingheng glanced at Lu Hean and smiled maliciously. Then he quickly leaned over and said, "Lu Hean has a boyfriend."
A word is like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing thousands of waves.
"What!?"
"Who is it? Who is it? Do we know each other? Is he from our hospital or another hospital?"
The three of them maintained the same posture, leaning on Lu Hean's bed, and asked the same question.
If he doesn't reply, I guess these three won't let him go.
Lu Hean suddenly opened the photo album and put the phone in front of their noses.
Several people were crowded together, head to head.
"Don't squeeze me, okay?"
"You're squeezing me!"
The phone hadn't been touched for a long time, and Lu Hean pretended to take it back. Several people immediately stopped fighting over it and stood still.
His eyes were fixed on Lu Hean's phone. Lu Hean clicked twice and the screen lit up again.
On the screen, a man huddled in his blankets, his profile visible only from the side, yet even that revealed his handsome appearance. His skin was fair, and there were suspicious red marks on his neck. The blanket was slightly lifted, revealing his shoulders, and he was shirtless.
Several people said "Oh~" in tacit understanding, not only dragging out the ending tone, but also looking at Lu Hean with unspeakable eyes.
Lu Hean didn't even need to think too much to know that these people had the wrong idea.
He picked up the book on the bed and hit each of the three people on the head: "You're done reading, get out of here."
Several people ran away laughing.
The game on the computer desk started again, and the takeaway box was opened, emitting an enticing aroma.
Lu Hean lay back down and continued to be a "machine-staring maniac".
Of course, he is not a pervert, and the author is not doing anything borderline, he is staring at the mobile phone.
He flipped the screen up and down, refreshed it, but not a single new message popped up. The message he had sent to Pei Shuyu when he left that morning still hadn't been replied to.
They had just added each other on WeChat, and the entire chat box was filled with Lu Hean's chatter. At the beginning, Pei Shuyu replied with an "oh", but later it was really Lu Hean's one-man show.
The three people under the bed were chatting animatedly, and occasionally handed over some snacks, but Lu Hean was not in the mood.
He remembered that Pei Shuyu worked in Saivan.
