Chapter 3
This is really not what Pei Zhi would say, so Xie Ning did not respond immediately.
They stared at each other, one second after another. Xie Ning was confused and asked, "Didn't we add each other as WeChat friends?"
The day Xie Ning first came to the dormitory, Chen Xi took the initiative to liven up the atmosphere, enthusiastically introduced everyone, and then took out his mobile phone to create a group.
Should he have added friends at that time? Since he had already created a group, he should have added friends as well.
Xie Ning really couldn't remember clearly. This was originally an unimportant matter, and he would not take it to heart at all.
Pei Zhi said, "I only added the group, not the friends."
"Is that so?" Xie Ning said, "Sorry, I've been a little too busy recently, and I always thought we had added friends."
"Then can I add it?" Pei Zhi asked again. Before Xie Ning could speak, he said, "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."
Xie Ning, who didn't have time to speak: "..."
It was Pei Zhi who swept Xie Ning. Before Xie Ning could get through, a phone call came in. The other end of the phone was howling: "Brother, brother, why haven't you come yet? Where are you? Where? !! Your brother is so sad, why don't you come over yet!"
"Wuwu, I thought she was a sweet girl, but she's a man like me!!"
Xie Ning turned slightly and whispered, "I'll be there right away."
As soon as the phone was hung up, Pei Zhi said, "You go and do your work first. As for what you said, I will give you a reply as soon as possible."
...
Café.
A young man was lying across from Xie Ning. He stretched out his hand to touch his hair, making it look like a chicken's nest. Xie Ning couldn't bear to watch and said, "Then what do you decide to do? Stop the loss in time, or make the best of it."
This was Xie Ning's cousin, Qi Ran. Qi Ran was horrified and said, "But he is a man? I was cheated in an online relationship, and I still have to make the best of it with him? It's good enough that I don't beat him in real life."
Xie Ning waited quietly. Sure enough, Qi Ran's eyes were tangled: "But... he is really cute."
Recently, Qi Ran met a "sweet girl" in an online game. Every night he chatted with her online and got points... Life became more and more boring. When he proposed to meet in person, he found out that the other party was a man like him.
On the one hand, he was too emotionally invested and had too much sunk cost. He was really confused, so he asked Xie Ning to help him with some ideas.
"You don't seem to dislike him being a man, but you are just angry that he lied to you? If you are still unsure, then I suggest you calm down--" Xie Ning said, "Listen to the voice of your heart."
Qi Ran let out a strange cry in annoyance, and after venting, he felt much better. He said, "By the way, how is your new roommate? Is he hygienic?"
A big reason why Xie Ning changed dormitories was that his former roommate was not hygienic. He didn't wash his underwear for half a month, and his smelly socks were piled up until they were moldy.
Xie Ning: "My current roommates are very nice and very hygienic."
Qi Ran: "Really? But they are physical education students. Shouldn't physical education students be more...well, I shouldn't stereotype, maybe there are still physical education students who love hygiene in the world, and you happened to meet them."
"They really didn't bully you, right? Like isolating you?"
After all, Xie Ning and them are not the same professional.
Xie Ning: "No."
If I have to talk about a shortcoming, it is that he doesn't like the smell of cigarettes. All his roommates seem to like smoking, and sometimes they come back with the smell of cigarettes...
No, Pei Zhi doesn't seem to smoke.
Xie Ning had never smelled smoke on Pei Zhi.
Smoking is not a big problem as long as you don't smoke in the dormitory. Everyone has different living habits. Living under the same roof requires mutual tolerance.
While he tolerated his roommate, his roommate also accommodated him.
Xie Ning took the time to look at the class group notification, and at the same time received a message from Pei Zhi.
[Z: Hello, I am a liar. ]
[Z withdrew a message. ]
[Z: I am a firecracker. ]
[Z withdrew a message. ]
[Z: Pei Zhi. ]
If Xie Ning hadn't seen the whole process of Pei Zhi sending and withdrawing the message, he would have really thought that Pei Zhi was very cold, introducing himself by only typing in a name and refusing to say a word.
It was precisely because of seeing Pei Zhi's continuous mistakes that he felt that Pei Zhi, who seemed very cold, didn't seem to be so cold anymore.
"What's going on? What did he withdraw?" Qi Ran leaned over. "Who is he?"
Xie Ning locked her phone: "New roommate."
"Why is he messaging you so late at night? Doesn't he have anything to do? No, Pei Zhi... I seem to have heard of this name. Is he the school hunk in your physical education department?" Qi Ran was very sensitive because he had been deceived in an online relationship. "People on the Internet say that there are many gays among physical education students. You have to be careful. You look a little dangerous. Don't be deceived by gays pretending to be straight."
"I've read similar novels. The protagonist in the novel claims to be a straight man, but he holds hands and kisses and gets into the same quilt. What a cunning gay."
Xie Ning: "My roommates are all straight."
Especially Pei Zhi, who is a recognized iron-clad straight man and homophobe.
Qi Ran's worry was totally unnecessary.
Qi Ran: "At first I was sure that my brothers were all straight."
In high school, Qi Ran's good friends were all 100% straight, but after seeing Xie Ning, they all became straight, without exception.
There was a rainstorm in the evening, and Xie Ning decided to go back early. There was a
cold breeze outside the cafe. Xie Ning stood on the roadside waiting for a car. His thin figure was elegant and upright. His hair and clothes were blown back. Fine dust was floating around his body, leaving star-like light on his long eyelashes.
Qi Ran always knew that his cousin was superior in appearance, but he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
He suddenly understood why his straight brothers suddenly became straight.
Xie Ning has a face that is unforgettable. Standing there and doing nothing, he looks like a carefully painted painting of a beautiful woman. His expression is always cold and indifferent, but it is this expression that adds a bit of arrogance to his indifference, which can easily make people fall into a kind of frenzy.
Xie Ning got in the car, and Qi Ran wrote down the license plate number.
Xie Ning took out a wet towel from his pocket and slowly wiped his thin, white and slender fingers.
...
Dormitory 505.
It rained heavily at night. Gu Nian looked at his mullet in front of the balcony mirror and was very satisfied.
He glanced at Chen Xi's tin foil and looked disgusted.
Chen Xi rubbed her socks and said, "I plan to go to Lingxin Temple to make a wish this weekend. I hope my true love will come soon."
"What era is it? Why are you still believing in feudal superstition?" Gu Nian curled his lips and asked, "Is it effective? If it is, take me with you. I will go to pray too."
Chen Xi: "Everyone who has been there says it works, whether it is marriage or something else. The most amazing thing is that I heard that a man and a woman met in a vast crowd before, but they didn't have time to ask for contact information at that time, so they came to Lingxin Temple to make a pious wish... Not long after, they not only met, but also got married in the end!"
"Is it so effective? By the way, can I get extra credits if I get a certificate during college? I'm quite tempted..." Gu Nian asked in a hoarse voice, "Brother Pei, you are a native of City A, is Lingxin Temple really that effective?"
While washing socks, Gu Nian and Chen Xi had already completed major life events such as love and marriage in their fantasies.
Pei Zhi was still distracted, he lowered his eyes to look at the screen of his mobile phone. Ten minutes ago, Xie Ning accepted his friend request and sent a message.
[Ning: Hello, I'm Xie Ning. ]
Pei Zhi looked at this simple sentence for a long time.
"Brother Pei? Brother Pei? What are you looking at?" Gu Nian urged, "Is Lingxin Temple really effective?"
Pei Zhi seemed to be suddenly awakened, and clicked on the editing box with his finger, thinking about what to reply to appear more polite. He said calmly, "It doesn't work."
"How do you know it doesn't work? Have you made a wish?"
Pei Zhi was too lazy to answer.
He keenly noticed that someone was swiping the dormitory room card.
Their dormitory uses a card swiping system, and the machine is very old. The student card is placed on the sensor and it takes a few seconds to wait. Chen Xi and Gu Nian were playing around on the balcony, so whose student card could unlock their dormitory?
The answer was very obvious. The moment Pei Zhi took off his headphones, the dormitory door was opened synchronously.
It was raining outside, and Xie Ning still couldn't avoid being soaked by the rain. There was almost no dry place on his body, and water was dripping down.
The thin and transparent shirt was soaked with water and stuck to his thin waist, and the undulating curve of his shoulder blades could be seen through the clothes.
Her snow-white skin was a little red from running all the way to avoid the rain, her collarbone was streaked with rain, her hair was wet and stuck to her forehead and temples, and her usually cold expression added a bit of indescribable charm.
The driver could only park the car at the school gate, and Xie Ning hurried into the dormitory building before the curfew ended. He was not good at sports and was a little out of breath at the moment, and he began to feel dizzy when walking.
"Who is it?" Hearing the movement outside, Gu Nian on the balcony wanted to come out to see.
Pei Zhi stood up and blocked Gu Nian's sight with his body.
He noticed that Xie Ning's current state seemed to be a little abnormal, her steps were unsteady, and if she took a wrong step, she would slip and fall on the spot.
Pei Zhi, who had always disliked contact with people, stretched out his arm as usual and helped Xie Ning up when he was about to fall.
The moment his wrist was held, the hot body temperature and the touch of skin against skin came over him. Xie Ning's head buzzed for a moment, and he shook off Pei Zhi's hand in a hysterical way.
Pei Zhi's expression was blank for a moment, and then he lowered his eyes to look at the back of his hand, which had a red mark on it.
Xie Ning leaned against the wall weakly, panting, and his shoulder blades trembled slightly.
Even without further physical contact, the wrist still lingered with a tingling sensation like an electric current. This tingling slowly crawled out from the bottom layer of the skin from the inside out, like countless small insects greedily gnawing at the flesh and blood, and craving for more.
Xie Ning's mind was confused, but she apologized immediately: "Sorry, I didn't react just now..."
Xie Ning didn't say a few words, and the place where her wrist was touched was once again swept by an indescribable tingling sensation of electric current.
In the past, when the skin hunger syndrome attacked, the demands were always not met. The sudden touch made the skin hunger syndrome ready to attack.
Fortunately, Xie Ning and Pei Zhi were not in contact for long, and Xie Ning only needed to adjust her breathing to calm down.
During this process, Xie Ning had been leaning against the wall. Her skin, which was originally just a layer of pink, was steamed red, but her body was wet. Water droplets fell along the soft hair tips and fell into the slightly open collar, making the shirt even wetter and more transparent.
Compared with the usual clear and cold appearance, she has a bit more gentle and good-looking appearance.
Xie Ning suppressed his unwanted thoughts very skillfully. Now that he had regained his composure, he remembered clearly that Pei Zhi kindly helped him, but he pushed him away hard.
He had apologized just now, now it was time to thank him.
Just as she was about to speak, a deep male voice sounded first.
[Good boy, I want to surpass you.]
Xie Ning was stunned: "What did you say?"
Pei Zhi frowned, his cool and handsome face was also confused: "I didn't say anything."
What did Xie Ning hear?
