Chapter 35
Xie Ning's heart was still beating fast until he got in the car.
He couldn't believe what he just heard.
There were only two possibilities.
One, there was something wrong with the inner voice, or it was not Pei Zhi's inner thoughts at all; two, he was hallucinating and hearing hallucinations.
The more Xie Ning thought about it, the more ridiculous it became. No matter what, he couldn't believe that it was Pei Zhi's inner thoughts. How could Pei Zhi... like him?
His phone vibrated, Pei Zhi sent him a message.
[Childish ghost: When are you coming back? I'll pick you up.]
Xie Ning was so fascinated that he didn't dare to reply for a while.
It was too ridiculous.
Isn't Pei Zhi a straight man?
Before, when I was in class, the students around me would discuss gossip, which all came from the campus forum. In addition to some lost and found posts, there were also some gossip posts. Pei Zhi was also a frequent visitor.
He opened the campus forum for the first time.
Xie Ning unexpectedly found that there were many posts about himself.
[Come and see the beautiful photos of my Xie Ning’s wife. Anyone who doesn’t see it will definitely regret it. [Hook fingers]]
[Video of the event - Oh my god, did Xie Ning deliberately look like this to seduce me? ]
[I said my wife is the most beautiful in the school, who dares to refute? ]
Xie Ning: "..."
It turns out that now, there are really many people who call strangers "wife".
As the person involved, looking at these posts, I feel a little weird. But the focus is not on him, but Pei Zhi.
Xie Ning searched the keyword "Pei Zhi".
[Another gay on Waqu has set his sights on Pei Zhi, and Pei Zhi immediately turned black...]
[I advise all comrades not to have high expectations of Pei Zhi, he is handsome, but he has a really bad temper, and he is particularly straight...]
[Everyone in the world may become gay, but Pei Zhi won't.]
[Shashasha... Did baby Xie Ning talk to Pei Zhi? Pei Zhi stood beside Xie Ning, like a big wolf dog protecting a beauty. The height difference, body shape difference, and skin color difference... I'm convinced.]
Except for the last post, Xie Ning agreed with all of them.
The first few posts all explained how straight Pei Zhi was. One of the posts talked about an incident on the first floor. A freshman offered Pei Zhi some water. Pei Zhi did not appreciate it, and asked on the spot, "Are you free?" and then left.
Many people felt embarrassed for the boy, but more people said they were used to it because Pei Zhi had done things with lower EQ.
As the post said, the whole world may become crooked, but Pei Zhi cannot.
After looking at his phone for a long time, Xie Ning felt carsick. He leaned back in his seat, locked his phone, and closed his eyes in thought.
Just think... he was hallucinating.
...
Xie Ning looked at several communities, and coincidentally, the landlord of the house he was most satisfied with was Shen Ye.
To be more precise, the landlord was Shen Ye's uncle. He was well-informed. When he learned that someone wanted to see the house, and that the person was Xie Ning, he quickly came here.
"This neighborhood is good. The security is very good, it's easy to get in and out, and the greenery is good. Standing here, you can see the city scenery." Shen Ye introduced it earnestly, "and the subway is within 200 meters, and there is a shopping mall next to it, so it's very convenient for eating, drinking, living and traveling."
Xie Ning: "It's really good."
This is also the house that Xie Ning is most satisfied with.
"Do you want to book it?" Shen Ye said, "My uncle is in a hurry to rent it out. If you book it today, I can give you a discount."
When Shen Ye spoke, he couldn't help but move closer to Xie Ning, and his voice was deliberately suppressed into a low cannon sound, which sounded a little hoarse and ambiguous.
"Do you need a discount for this little money?" Qi Ran squeezed in between the two of them, "Stay away from my brother, why are you talking so close to him?"
If Xie Ning is the kind of reserved nobleman, then Qi Ran is the spoiled young master at home. Shen Ye's face changed slightly, but considering that he is Xie Ning's younger brother, he still had a little better face towards this rude guy.
"It's my problem. I shouldn't have gotten so close." Shen Ye changed the subject. "Would you like some coffee? I'll make it."
"No need." Xie Ning said, "Just stop here. I'll think about it and give you a reply as soon as possible."
Shen Ye: "Okay. By the way, your brother's school curfew is quite early, right? How about I drive you there?"
"No, I don't stay overnight." Qi Ran said impatiently, "Why are you so attentive? Do you like my brother?"
Being exposed so bluntly, Shen Ye still coughed a little embarrassedly.
Xie Ning frowned: "Don't talk nonsense."
Qi Ran responded, muttering in his heart that he didn't talk nonsense.
When this person saw Xie Ning, it was like a wild dog seeing a bone... just like the person he saw at the school gate before.
Xie Ning actually took the initiative to put a scarf on that person? But Qi Ran remembered very clearly that Xie Ning was a clean freak and didn't like to share things with others. Shen
Ye: "Can you give me a ride? I just happened to be going back to school and my car ran out of gas."
Qi Ran: "My car only has two seats, do you want to sit in the trunk?"
Xie Ning: "The seats are one thing, and the other thing is that I may not go back to school yet, so I can't give you a ride."
Shen Ye: "Okay, it's okay. If you think it through, send me a message, I'm always there."
Qi Ran kept muttering all the way: "Brother, who was that person just now? I knew he had bad intentions towards you at first glance, and he was drooling after seeing you... Wait, didn't you say you were going to the studio? Are you going back to school?"
Xie Ning changed the destination of the navigation.
Xie Ning: "My friend seems to be sick, I'm going to go back to see him."
"He's not a child. If he's sick, he can go to the hospital to register. Why does he keep pestering you?"
"Don't say that."
Xie Ning said, "When I was sick before, he always took care of me. Let's put today's work aside. I'll go to the studio early tomorrow and it will be fine."
In Qi Ran's eyes, the person who asked Xie Ning to take the initiative to take care of him was simply a heinous crime, but no matter how unhappy he was, he still obediently turned around.
He was very strange.
Xie Ning takes his work and profession very seriously. Sometimes he gets so absorbed in it that he doesn't eat or sleep, and doesn't take his body seriously at all. But he would actually put down his work because his friend is sick?
Who is this person? Why can he do this? Qi Ran couldn't figure it out.
When Xie Ning arrived at the dormitory, he met Shen Ye at the door. Shen Ye greeted him warmly and said, "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that we meet again. Has your brother gone back?"
"He has gone back." Xie Ning said.
Shen Ye: "Your brother cares about you a lot."
Xie Ning: "Not bad."
Xie Ning's attitude was cold, and Shen Ye didn't want to curry favor with someone he didn't like, because he was used to it anyway. He added, "Houses are in short supply recently, so you'd better consider it as soon as possible. My uncle said that many people have contacted him for this house, but the price has not been negotiated. The location you want is also a prime location. If you want to move out, you'd better act as soon as possible."
"You want to move out?" A gloomy male voice came from behind.
Xie Ning was stunned for a moment. He and Shen Ye turned around at the same time. They were both standing in the corridor. Pei Zhi was slowly approaching. His deep and handsome eyebrows were even deeper under the overhead light, and at the same time they were cut into three-dimensional and sharp. The
tall and sturdy figure cast a shadow on the ground. Pei Zhi was very tall. As he walked towards him step by step, he was like a giant monster approaching slowly, with an innate sense of oppression.
Pei Zhi stood in front of Xie Ning, his expression and tone were surprisingly calm: "You have to move out."
Before Xie Ning said anything, Shen Ye said: "I'm just looking at a house."
"..." Pei Zhi said, "You went to look at a house?"
Xie Ning said helplessly: "It's not like that."
Xie Ning and Pei Zhi returned to the dormitory. Without outsiders, he slowly explained: "I looked at a house today, and the landlord is Shen Ye's uncle."
Pei Zhi tried his best to maintain a normal expression, and even said in a tone of pretending to be relaxed: "Why do you want to move out? Do you hate me?"
"Of course not." Xie Ning said, "It's just too far. It's not convenient to go back and forth between the school and the studio. I have to go to class and revise my work."
Pei Zhi: "I can take you there, and you can catch up on sleep in the car..."
Xie Ning: "You always have something to do. Can you always make time for me?"
Of course.
Even if he has classes, he can take a leave, and even if he has something to do, he can not go. Pei Zhi can push everything away and make Xie Ning his priority.
But Pei Zhi didn't say anything.
These words were a bit too ambiguous and could easily cause psychological burden to people. He didn't want their relationship to become more tense, so he remained silent.
After a while, Pei Zhi said, "Are you really going to move out?"
Xie Ning: "I'm not sure yet, just waiting. If I'm not so busy next time, I won't move out."
But it's likely to be very busy.
Xie Ning changed the subject: "Have you been to the infirmary? If not, let's go now."
Pei Zhi: "I'm not sick."
He suddenly realized, with some joy in his eyes, "Did you come back specially to accompany me to the infirmary?"
"Not specially." Xie Ning corrected the wording, "I'm just afraid that you won't go to the infirmary, and the workload today is not that heavy."
Lie.
Xie Ning really doesn't lie. His tone is stiff when he speaks, probably because he doesn't like to tell lies. His eyelashes tremble guiltily, and his slightly staggered eyes just allow Pei Zhi to see a small part of the wet end of his eyes.
The gloomy and irritable mood just now was smoothed out in an instant. Pei Zhi lowered his eyelashes, revealing a little fragility between his brows: "I feel a little dizzy."
His tone was sickly, and he was not as strong as before.
Xie Ning tiptoed, ready to reach out to test the temperature of Pei Zhi's forehead. Pei Zhi was afraid that he would be tired from tiptoeing, so he bent his waist with a large amplitude and lowered his head to let him touch his forehead.
"I can't feel it." Xie Ning said embarrassedly, "Let's go to the infirmary."
He quickly withdrew his hand, with his fingers slightly bent. He hadn't been in close contact with Pei Zhi for several days, and suddenly there was physical contact, and his body seemed to have an inertial reaction, and he subconsciously wanted to stick to Pei Zhi.
Fortunately, he suppressed the impulse again.
Xie Ning and Pei Zhi went to the infirmary. Pei Zhi had no temperature and his cold was completely healed.
The doctor said so, but Pei Zhi, who was following beside him, kept showing a very uncomfortable and sickly expression, which made Xie Ning a little confused. Could it be that the doctor made a wrong diagnosis?
Xie Ning looked at Pei Zhi's profile, thinking of the voice he heard not long ago, and hesitated to speak.
He wanted to ask, but didn't dare to ask. On the one hand, he was afraid to know the answer, and on the other hand, he was afraid that after asking, he would not even be able to be friends.
Xie Ning rarely had such a struggle. He was very entangled, but he gave up.
...
Xie Ning went to bed very early. He has been very tired
recently. Since he is not going to the studio, he should take this opportunity to rest well, keep enough energy, and continue to work tomorrow.
Suddenly there was a rustling at the foot of the bed, and Xie Ning was startled. A large hand with distinct bones opened the curtain, and Pei Zhi stepped in.
"I'm sorry." The first thing Pei Zhi said when he saw Xie Ning was to apologize. He lowered his head, "I shouldn't have made you angry."
What?
Pei Zhi enumerated his crimes in detail: "I have been sick recently, and my mind is confused. I haven't figured out many things. You have been very tired recently. I shouldn't have been pestering you, and I shouldn't have been so clingy."
He said, "Let me give you a massage."
Xie Ning: "Massage?"
Xie Ning was half lying on the bed, propping up her body slightly, and raising her upper body a little. The pajamas were slightly rolled up by the sheets, revealing a section of the smooth and white calf line.
The delicate skin was like white porcelain, and the ankles were exquisite and could be held in one hand. Pei Zhi's eyes became deep, his Adam's apple moved, and he asked in a very restrained manner: "Can I?"
Pei Zhi didn't dare to shake her hand directly, but just placed his hand near Xie Ning's white feet. His body heat lingered around her warm feet, and Xie Ning just moved her legs slightly, as if she was actively pushing her feet into his hands.
The toes rubbed against the hot fingers, with a rough feeling. Xie Ning's skin was delicate, soft and tender, and she also had skin hunger. An electric current rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, making his scalp numb instantly and his body fell down.
Pei Zhi didn't expect Xie Ning's reaction to be so big. He was stunned for a moment, and then wanted to get closer. Just as he leaned over a little, Xie Ning stepped on his shoulder, as if to push him out.
The soft force had no effect at all, but it miraculously fixed Pei Zhi in place, and he really didn't move.
The small white feet stepped on the shoulders, the loose pajamas slid down, and the snow-white straight legs were exposed to the air.
Pei Zhi could feel its softness even through her pajamas. Pei Zhi
's Adam's apple slid again, and he couldn't help but look down. The round and plump toes were like flower buds, revealing an alluring pink. Pei Zhi's Adam's apple slid again, and he immediately felt dry mouth and tongue.
Xie Ning's breathing became a little disordered, and her eyes were misty.
He didn't expect that the physical contact this time would be so severe, or it could be that he had suppressed it too hard in the past few days, and his needs were suddenly satisfied, and the pleasure was also superimposed. His
skin hunger made him feel itchy and a little breathless. He rubbed his feet on Pei Zhi's shoulders impatiently, and his toes slid across Pei Zhi's Adam's apple unconsciously.
This time, it was Pei Zhi's turn to have disordered breathing.
But Pei Zhi didn't dare to move, let alone touch anything, for fear of making Xie Ning angry. He would not do anything without permission. He is an upright man.
About five seconds passed before Xie Ning calmed down a little. He realized how impolite the position of his feet was, and hurriedly put his feet down: "No need for massage, sorry, I'm a little afraid of itching, so just now..."
Xie Ning suddenly couldn't speak.
Because Pei Zhi had been looking at him, his dark and deep eyes were like the dark night sky, looking dangerous and scary.
Pei Zhi's breath was hot, and his panting was heavy and obvious. Even from a distance, Xie Ning could hear it clearly. The aggressive gaze on the aggressive face gave him an illusion.
It was as if he was about to be stripped naked and eaten by Pei Zhi.
With one arm on Xie Ning's waist, Pei Zhi slowly leaned over, his huge shadow like a huge monster, swallowing up Xie Ning's vision.
From this angle, Xie Ning looked particularly fragile and petite, in need of protection.
His always cold face, with messy hair, rosy cheeks, and raised eyelashes, revealed a frightened look, and the tears in his eyes made him look beautiful in a different way.
So pitiful.
So cute.
I really want to...
Pei Zhi stared at Xie Ning, and under Xie Ning's gaze, his Adam's apple moved for a moment. He calmed his breathing and then asked softly: "...Can we sleep together?"
He said again, "I want to hug you."
"Just through the quilt."
"..." Xie Ning was silent.
Pei Zhi understood his answer, and Pei Zhi did not force it. Instead, he slowly straightened his body, hooked his fingers around the trouser legs that were almost rolled up to the thighs, and slowly pulled them down, watching the snow-white and well-proportioned thighs being eaten up bit by bit by the black pajamas. Before
leaving, Pei Zhi bent his fingers and gently rubbed Xie Ning's trouser legs. His voice was already hoarse: "Good night, have a good dream."
Xie Ning seemed to be frightened.
He really just wanted to hug Xie Ning, nothing else, he wasn't greedy, just hugging her through the quilt would be fine, he wouldn't do anything to make Xie Ning unhappy.
But Xie Ning's expression was so beautiful, he was a little out of control, maybe he couldn't control his look and expression. He
couldn't scare Xie Ning.
Moreover, he had to find a way to please Xie Ning, and then formally pursue Xie Ning.
He didn't want to be Xie Ning's friend anymore.
...
When Pei Zhi just started planning to pursue Xie Ning and searched online for strategies to pursue someone, he noticed something.
Xie Ning was avoiding him.
Xie Ning had just finished a professional course today and had some free time. The first thing he did after getting up was to go to the studio on campus.
The studios on campus are provided for art students of different majors, including public art professional studios, fashion design professional studios... There is also a corridor not far away, and next to the corridor is a small and exquisite pavilion.
Pei Zhi sat here and watched for the whole morning.
Xie Ning's workstation is by the window. Pei Zhi sat in the pavilion and could see it clearly. However, due to the blind spot of visual angle, Xie Ning could not see him.
Pei Zhi watched Xie Ning concentrate on drawing drafts. When he was tired, he would read a fashion magazine. For the whole morning, he really did not look at his mobile phone and devoted himself to his work.
He looked really charming when he was working seriously.
When it was time for lunch, the people in the studio got up and left, discussing what to eat. Pei Zhi watched a group of students walk out, and he suddenly realized that it was noon and time to eat.
Xie Ning is still concentrating on her work. The meal ordered by Pei Zhi is almost here. He went to the school gate to get it. When he came back, he saw Xie Ning sitting by the window in a daze.
The sunlight outlined Xie Ning's profile with a beautiful golden glow. After working efficiently, his brain and body seemed to be unable to keep up with the rhythm. He was in a confused and empty state with a dull expression.
So cute.
Before inviting someone to dinner, you have to lay the groundwork first. You can't just come up and ask if you want to eat together.
This is what the guide says.
Pei Zhi sent a message to Xie Ning.
[Childish ghost: What are you doing? Are you still busy? ]
Right in front of him, Xie Ning by the window glanced at his phone, hesitated for a moment, and unlocked the screen.
He should have seen the message. After being in a daze for a while, he finally chose to pretend not to see it.
The weather is very good today, the sun is shining, the green plants are swaying gently, Pei Zhi is bathing in the sun, his expression is cold and gloomy, the plastic bag makes a slight sound when he squeezes it in his hands. His fingers are tightened, as if he is enduring some emotion.
After a long while, he sent another message.
[Childish ghost: It may rain tonight, I brought you an umbrella and put it at the door of your studio, remember to come and get it. ]
[Childish ghost: When I ordered lunch, I accidentally ordered one more portion, so I put it all in. If you have eaten, you can share it with your classmates. ]
[Childish ghost: [Give the little baby a heart jpg.]]
[Childish ghost: Can I pick you up in the evening?]
At this time, Xie Ning finally replied.
[Ning: No, I may not go back to the dormitory in the evening.]
[Childish ghost: Where are you going? I'll take you there. It just so happens that I also need a car. I'm going to stay at home tonight and my parents want me to have dinner.]
[Childish ghost: I originally wanted to ask you to go with me.]
Xie Ning suddenly remembered that Pei Zhi had not given him his ID information yet.
So Xie Yan had not bought a plane ticket yet.
Looking through the chat history again, Xie Yan had urged them not long ago that she wanted to buy them seats next to each other. If it was later, they might not be able to buy them.
Recently, no one mentioned Christmas.
After Xie Ning rejected Pei Zhi, he lay on the table and wanted to take a nap.
He couldn't avoid thinking about that night.
If, if he saw it correctly, did Pei Zhi... have a reaction.
Before, he would think that this was normal. People's impulses are mobilized by hormones. When certain images stimulate them at once, it is indeed easy to have inappropriate reactions.
But after hearing Pei Zhi's voice, Xie Ning could no longer keep a normal mind.
He needed time to calm down, so he has been distancing himself from Pei Zhi recently.
After lying down for a while, Xie Ning pushed open the door of the studio and saw a restaurant bag with an umbrella next to it.
He brought both into the studio, thought for a long time, and still replied to Pei Zhi with a "thank you" and took a photo.
[Ning: I've got it, it's delicious. ]
[Childish ghost: As long as you like it. ]
Xie Ning did not continue to reply.
But it doesn't matter.
Xie Ning lowered her head to eat. Her eating manner was gentle and elegant, a sight in itself. Pei Zhi, who was not far away, had never left. He just stood there and looked at Xie Ning for a long time.
...
At night, there was a heavy rain.
The gloomy black sky was rolling with purple and blue lightning. With a loud "boom", the rain poured down. Many students ran with their heads in their arms and flew in the corridor.
In the dormitory group, Gu Nian and Chen Xi said that they had all returned home. They were both locals and sometimes went home to live on weekends.
[Childish ghost: Where are you? I'll pick you up.]
[Ning: No need. I'm already in the studio.]
[Childish ghost: In the studio? When?]
[Ning: Before the rain. It started raining as soon as I arrived. 】
【Childish ghost: Then it's just the right time for you to go back.】
【Ning: Yeah.】
Fortunately, they were not chatting face to face, otherwise, Xie Ning's lies would definitely be discovered.
Now he felt a little guilty, and another message popped up on his phone.
【Childish ghost: If you need me, call me anytime.】
Another thunder, the trees outside the window were blown all over the place. In the humid atmosphere, an unbearable feeling of hunger emerged under the skin, as if countless small insects were ready to move, gnawing at him, urging him to get physical contact.
In rainy days, the frequency of thirst syndrome attacks is higher, and Xie Ning has become accustomed to it. He went to take a cold shower, and his fair and slender fingers were frozen into rose pink. This color made him look inexplicably fragile and charming.
It is raining heavily today. For safety reasons, he should go back to the dormitory tonight.
Pei Zhi and the other two roommates have gone home. He is the only one in the dormitory. Even if the skin thirst attacks, it doesn’t matter.
No one will see it.
It’s just... Xie Ning’s nails are deeply embedded in the palm of his hand.
This time the skin thirst is coming on strongly, and he has to get back to the dormitory as soon as possible.
Xie Ning quickly picked up the umbrella, and when he passed by a classmate, the classmate called him, but he didn’t respond, so the classmate wanted to put his arm around his shoulder.
Xie Ning’s mental cleanliness and skin thirst attacked and collided at the same time. He immediately distanced himself from the classmate, and his nails were embedded even deeper. He said calmly, "I'm sorry, I just felt dizzy. You called me, is there something wrong?"
"You look bad..." The classmate asked in surprise, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"Nothing, just a little cold, it will be fine after a while." Xie Ning said.
"Okay."
Originally, he wanted to ask whether he should send Xie Ning to the infirmary, after all, Xie Ning's condition did not look very good. However, at this point, the school infirmary should also be closed...
Looking at Xie Ning's gradually receding figure, he couldn't help but recall that stunning face.
No wonder so many people like Xie Ning...
...
Pei Zhi sent an umbrella to Xie Ning in advance, but the rain was too heavy tonight, and he still couldn't avoid getting wet.
Fortunately, he wore more clothes today, and his down jacket was waterproof, so the wetness was only on the outside. However, some of the rain soaked his trousers and socks, which were sticky and very uncomfortable.
This wet feeling aggravated the craving caused by skin hunger. Xie Ning entered the elevator. There were many people in the elevator. He tried his best to hide in the corner to avoid physical contact with others.
As soon as he walked out of the elevator, Xie Ning quickly returned to the dormitory.
There was no light on in the dormitory, and it was pitch black. He leaned against the door weakly, his wet lips slightly parted, and some trembling breaths leaked out.
Longing to be hugged.
Longing to be touched.
Skin hunger made his consciousness a little blurred... He shook his head, it's okay, just bear with it.
Xie Ning leaned against the door for a long time, all his attention was attracted by skin hunger. When the situation improved a little, he felt something was wrong vigilantly.
When he just came back, there was a lot of water at the door of the dormitory, but Pei Zhi and the others were not in the dormitory. Who else had entered the dormitory and dirty the door of the dormitory? Also, there was an extra umbrella outside the door of the dormitory...
There is someone in the dormitory!
Even if there is no one for the time being, someone must have come in before. Pei Zhi and the others left the dormitory before the rain... The rain just started not long ago, and this person is likely to still be in the dormitory, observing his actions in the corner.
It was not easy for Xie Ning to remain rational in such a situation. His first reaction was that a thief had come in, and he quickly turned around and wanted to leave. His trembling hand just touched the door handle, and a hot palm wrapped around the back of his hand.
The skin-to-skin contact was like a gentle spring breeze blowing across his cheek. Xie Ning instantly relieved his strength. After his skin hunger was satisfied, his mind was in a trance for a moment.
"Click".
With a crisp sound, the door was locked.
Pei Zhi's gloomy and somewhat injured voice rang slowly: "Xie Ning, are you hiding from me?"
