Chapter 1
It started again.
This feeling of being out of control.
The bathroom had just been cleaned and was very clean. Xie Ning rested one hand on the sink and put the other hand under the faucet to wash.
The cold water could not curb the thirst growing under the skin. Instead, it seemed to awaken a certain desire and make the fire burn more vigorously.
Xie Ning's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her long eyelashes cast fine shadows under her eyes.
Her shoulder blades trembled slightly, and her usually cold face was covered with an ambiguous red color. There was a little moisture at the end of her eyes, and some faint gasps overflowed from her lips.
Why...
why is it so serious this time?
The cold water was no longer effective. Xie Ning turned off the faucet. His body was unstable, and his shaking hands hit the shelf beside him. There was a "bang" in the bathroom.
There was a knock on the door.
A cold male voice sounded: "Are you okay?"
Xie Ning leaned against the wall, took a breath, and then said: "... I'm fine."
He tried very hard to maintain a normal tone of voice, and he thought he did a good job.
But what he didn't know was that his voice was trembling, which was completely different from his previous cold voice.
The person at the door was silent for a moment, and said: "Call me if you have anything."
The footsteps gradually faded away, and Xie Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't expect that the first person to discover his abnormality would be Pei Zhi.
Pei Zhi, the school hunk in the Department of Physical Education, has outstanding appearance and eccentric behavior. It is said that he has a bad temper and keeps people at a distance. He is a well-known figure in the school.
Xie Ning, on the other hand, is recognized as the flower of the high mountains. He has a cold personality and a serious cleanliness obsession. He keeps a certain distance from everyone, even from his roommate.
They basically have no intersection.
But no one knows that Xie Ning does not contact others just because of his cleanliness obsession.
Xie Ning has a secret. He has skin hunger.
Skin hunger can make people emotionally fluctuate, fall into anxiety and restlessness, want to be touched, and desire to be hugged.
But Xie Ning has a very serious cleanliness obsession, not only physically, but also mentally.
He doesn't like to be too close to strangers, nor does he like to have close contact with others, even if it's just shoulder to shoulder.
Fortunately, Xie Ning has strong self-control and a serious cleanliness obsession, so he has been able to endure it.
But he didn't expect that the skin hunger would start on the first day after he moved into the dormitory.
This is the most severe attack of Xie Ning's skin hunger recently. In the past, he only needed to take a cold shower to basically curb the itching under the skin.
But now, he has tried many methods, and the itching from the inside out of the bottom layer of the skin still has not disappeared.
Xie Ning waited for a long time, and his breathing finally became smooth.
The skin still has a slight itchy desire, but compared to just now, this degree is nothing.
Xie Ning wiped up the water on the sink, took a shower, and then washed his hands carefully, over and over again. He rubbed his hands repeatedly until his fingers turned red, then he stopped wiping.
He looked up at the mirror. Except for some redness on his face and moisture at the corners of his eyes, everything else was normal.
Xie Ning pushed open the door and saw Pei Zhi sitting not far away.
The position of the ergonomic chair was moved a little. Pei Zhi supported his head with one hand and stroked the Candy Crush on the screen with the other hand.
The phone was plugged into headphones, but not on.
Hearing the door open, Pei Zhi quit the game directly, stood up, and asked again: "Are you okay?"
The other two roommates were farther away from this position. Hearing the sound, they took off their headphones and looked over.
Pei Zhi is very tall, with sharp and deep facial features, so that even if he just stands there and does nothing, he still feels very oppressive.
Because of the height difference, Xie Ning needs to look up at Pei Zhi, and he shook his head.
He is very tired now and has no desire to speak.
Xie Ning sat in his seat. He had just moved into the dormitory not long ago and had not decided to live there permanently, so he did not bring too much luggage, only some basic daily necessities.
His desk was empty, and after being swept repeatedly many times, it looked spotless, just like him. There was
still a drop of water on his hand that had not been wiped clean. Xie Ning stared at it for a long time, but his tissues had just been used up.
He had no more tissues. Is
it too late to go downstairs and buy some now? The grocery store should not be closed. Xie Ning glanced at the time and it was almost time for curfew...
"Is this your tissue?" A cold male voice came from the side, "It ran to me."
Xie Ning tilted his head slightly. Pei Zhi was standing not far behind him. The oncoming body temperature made his mind blank for a moment. The thirst that had been suppressed with great difficulty was awakened again, and he couldn't wait to show his presence.
Fortunately, it was not as intense as before, and it was still within the range that Xie Ning could tolerate.
Xie Ning: "It's not mine."
Xie Ning was sure that the several packs of tissues he brought had been used up, just now.
He kept flushing because of skin thirst, and on the other hand, he repeatedly wiped his fingers because of mysophobia.
Xie Ning kept a distance from Pei Zhi without making a sound. Although they were not close, Pei Zhi felt very hot. Perhaps all students who studied sports had this kind of body heat. Although he was wearing a sweater and trousers, his body still exuded a heat that was hard to ignore, which made Xie Ning's face flush.
For Xie Ning, this kind of heat was very dangerous.
Pei Zhi seemed to notice Xie Ning's small movement of retreating and evading. He lowered his eyes and glanced at Xie Ning. His facial features were naturally sharp, and the slightest expression would easily reveal a sense of indifference.
"It's not mine either." Pei Zhi said, "I don't use this brand."
Another roommate, Gu Nian, looked over and said, "Neither do I. What brand is this? I've never heard of it. It's in a foreign language. Chen Xi, come over and translate it."
"Okay." Another roommate, Chen Xi, took a quick look and translated, "Cream paper... This brand is very expensive, and my rough face doesn't deserve it. Xie Ning, it was you who ran to Brother Pei's place on your desk, right? You had this brand of cream paper on your desk before."
Xie Ning had a severe cold when he was a child. After that cold, he suffered from rhinitis. People with rhinitis will feel much more comfortable using cream tissue.
Later, his rhinitis was cured, but he kept the habit of using cream tissue.
Except for Xie Ning, everyone in this dormitory is a rough guy from the sports department. They can put toilet paper directly on their faces and would never think of buying cream tissue.
Pei Zhi was born with a cold face and a low and cold voice, which made it difficult for people to doubt the truth of his words. The other two roommates were also impossible, and Xie Ning was a little confused.
Xie Ning remembered very clearly that the tissues he brought were indeed used up. He looked at Pei Zhi half confused and half hesitantly: "Is it mine?"
"Yeah." Pei Zhi said, "Yours."
Pei Zhi directly helped Xie Ning make a decision and put the cream tissue on Xie Ning's desk.
Xie Ning looked at the unopened pack of cream paper. He and Pei Zhi were very close, and their desks were close together. If they made large movements or bumped into each other, it would be easy for items to hit each other.
But there were very few things on his and Pei Zhi's desks, and he had already run out of paper...
Could it be that he remembered it wrong?
Xie Ning opened the plastic wrap, took out the paper and wiped his fingers. The texture and brand were the same as the ones he usually used.
Maybe he remembered it wrong.
After resting for a while, Xie Ning felt that the thirst transmitted from his skin had improved a lot, but it was still slightly itchy.
He decided to go to the balcony to get some cool air.
As soon as Xie Ning left the dormitory, the other two roommates gathered around him.
"She's really cool, just like the rumors say... just as beautiful." Gu Nian said, "She has a nice voice, too."
Chen Xi said, "I used to think the photos on the forum were retouched, but it turns out she's even better in person..."
When Xie Ning first came to their dormitory, he opened the door, and the three people in the dormitory remained silent for at least three minutes.
The one playing games died, the one listening to music lost his headphones, and the one drinking water forgot to swallow, and the water in the cup spilled all over him.
"Xie Ning just stayed in the bathroom for a long time, right? How long did she take a shower? She is too fond of cleanliness... In addition to this face, he is also famous for being aloof and having a cleanliness obsession." Gu Nian said, "He may have changed dormitories because his previous roommate was unhygienic. I passed by that dormitory when I was looking for someone before, and I almost died of the stink... I really can't imagine how the beautiful Xie Ning lives in such a garbage dump. It's so unfair to him."
Most boys are very unhygienic, and the male dormitory is even more smelly. Stinky socks are piled up like a mountain, and underwear can be worn until it is moldy.
Dormitory 505 is a clear stream in the male dormitory garbage dump. They take turns to do hygiene every day, and there is no strange smell in the dormitory.
This is also something Xie Ning is very satisfied with.
"You don't mean the dormitory on the twelfth floor? That dormitory is really disgusting. Fortunately, Miss Xie has moved to our place." It hasn't been long since they called the beauty. Chen Xi chuckled and said, "Then I will clean the dormitory more diligently in the future, and I can't let Miss Xie in 505 stink."
"He looks very fragrant."
Not only does he look.
He smells, too.
Pei Zhi sat there without saying a word. Just now, when Xie Ning passed in front of him, and when he approached Xie Ning, a faint fragrance blew past him, like a breeze after a drizzle, with a bit of damp floral fragrance.
Not strong, but very addictive.
The knuckles were bent and pressed against the tip of the nose.
Pei Zhi was wondering if Xie Ning was feeling unwell.
Xie Ning looked very strange, as if he was in discomfort, and his face was very red, even his collarbone was red.
His eyes were misty and moist, and his voice was slightly hoarse.
Did he have a fever?
With a "sizzle", the door to the balcony was pushed open.
Xie Ning had been outside in the cold wind for a long time, and now he had completely calmed down. He returned to his previous appearance, as if he was always calm.
At this time, Pei Zhi, who was sitting on the black chair, turned around and placed his fingers folded on his thighs.
Under the dim light of the dormitory and the bright moon, their eyes briefly looked at each other, and then looked away very quickly.
Xie Ning always has this expression, just like the outside world's evaluation of him.
He always looked distant and cold in any situation, and it seemed that the gaffe he had just endured was just an illusion of Pei Zhi.
Xie Ning was still as elegant and tall as before, and her expression and posture were still as aloof and noble as before. She was beautiful yet kept people at a distance.
But the red corners of her eyes and overly rosy lips added some indescribable meaning to her dignity that could never go wrong.
Xie Ning's cleanliness habit came back again. He was going to the bathroom to wash his hands again. When he passed by Pei Zhi's seat, he suddenly heard an abrupt voice.
[How pitiful, you want to bully me.]
Xie Ning looked at Pei Zhi, and when Pei Zhi saw him looking at him, the two looked at each other.
After a while, Pei Zhi asked: "What's wrong?"
Xie Ning: "...Nothing."
He must have heard it wrong.
