Chapter 44
Until the end of today's practice, Zheng Yan still hadn't seen Jiang Shiyu.
The people in their practice room had a profound understanding of what it meant to wait impatiently. As soon as there was a sound at the door, Zheng Yan would immediately adjust his appearance, straighten his hair, which had been messed up during practice, and after checking in the mirror again and again, he would put on a smile and open the door.
Then his smile froze on his face.
The above scenario occurred three times in total.
The first time, it was the instructor standing outside the door.
Zheng Yan also opened the door with his peacock tail raised, and frowned: "Why is it you?"
Xu Junwen raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with me? Are you dissatisfied? Who are you thinking about?"
Zheng Yanye: ...It won’t be you anyway.
Xu Junwen wanted to laugh when he saw how exquisite he looked from head to toe. With such a big fuss, who else could he be waiting for except the little trainee that he loved so much?
He approached Zheng Yanye, smiled and whispered, continuing to stab him in the heart: "I didn't see him at noon, and now I haven't seen him yet?"
"How pitiful."
Zheng Yan's eyes were also full of sincerity: "...Can you please get out of here? What are you doing here?"
Seeing his forehead twitch, as if he was about to lose his temper but had to consider the camera, Xu Junwen smiled even more happily. He walked into their classroom, looked around, and coughed a few times in a pretentious manner: "Everyone practiced well. I'm rooting for you."
"But Zheng Yanye, your hair isn't even messy. You probably haven't practiced enough."
"Extra practice."
Zheng Yanye:?
He looked at Xu Junwen speechlessly. The man had an expression on his face that said, "What can you do to me?", which made people angry just by looking at it.
He smiled through gritted teeth and nodded: "Teacher is right."
What the hell, Zheng Yan narrowed his eyes, just wait for me to get out, then I’ll settle the score with you.
Someone knocked on the door again for the second time. The person closest to the door was about to open it, but before he reached the door, their captain had already opened the door again, tossing his hair and looking very handsome.
Luo Wenxi hadn't even had time to put down his knocking hand when the door opened. He watched Zheng Yanye's expression change from sunny and bright to calm in an instant, and before he could even smile, the door was closed by Zheng Yanye.
"Don't close it." He blocked the door in time and said with a smile, "I came here to learn about your team's progress. You wouldn't be so stingy as to not let me visit you, would you?"
Zheng Yan also sneered: "I am so stingy."
"Don't be like that," Luo Wenxi said with a smile as he walked away. "We're the only two groups that sing these kind of lyrical songs. The other groups are all more exciting than the other. It's really necessary for us two groups to learn from each other."
Zheng Yanye: "I think we should avoid suspicion of each other."
"How unkind." Luo Wenxi shrugged. "Teacher Xu just said in our group practice room that your level of accomplishment is exceptionally high, and that everyone should learn from you. That's why I came."
"Do you think I want to see you?" He glanced at Zheng Yanye, "Although you are indeed handsome, you are not my type."
"I don't like cold and strong people."
Zheng Yanye: "...Do I really like you?" He said, unable to bear it any longer, "I don't like men with sharp tongues like you either, okay?"
"Yeah." Luo Wenxi nodded perfunctorily, complaining in his heart, "You like Jiang Shiyu's fragrant, soft, big-eyed cute little cakes. Our Xiaoyu is so easy to control that it favors a cold-faced man like you. If it weren't for his good temper, no one would love you now."
He thought again of meeting Xu Junwen in the corridor just now. Their mentor couldn't stop laughing in the blind spot of the camera and said that now he could see Zheng Yanye's good show. Although their mentor talked nonsense all the time, he never missed such fun moments.
It was well worth his while to come knocking on the door today.
The door rang for the third time.
Their entire group had spontaneously turned their attention to Zheng Yanye, and no one wanted to compete with him for the job of opening the door.
Zheng Yan also faced everyone's gaze, opened the door with great anticipation, and was once again doused with cold water and stood still.
Feng Zhuo was like a hungry monkey. He would cling to him whenever he saw him, muttering to himself, "Zheng Yanye, do you have anything to eat? I just asked Jiang Shiyu, and he said you brought him a hamburger."
"I want one too."
Zheng Yan also struggled to steady the monkey on top of him, lest they both fall to the ground. He also had to distract himself to answer Feng Zhuo, "Did you just go to look for Jiang Shiyu?"
"Yeah." Feng Zhuo nodded. "I didn't have enough for lunch, and dancing made me starve. I went to ask him, but he didn't have any snacks, but his teammates said you brought some food to Jiang Shiyu. I don't care, I want some too."
"there is none left."
Feng Zhuo slid down his back, leaned against the wall, and began to howl, "How can you be so hypocritical? If it's Jiang Shiyu who's here, how can you say such cold words with a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius?"
Zheng Yan also wanted to laugh when he saw his unreasonable behavior: "You are not Jiang Shiyu."
"Then just think of me as someone Jiang Shiyu sent." Feng Zhuo took over his words without any pressure. "What if Jiang Shiyu is too hungry to walk and wants me to get him some life-saving snacks?"
"First of all, Jiang Shiyu wouldn't be as starving as you." Zheng Yan speechlessly threw him a piece of chocolate. "Secondly, if he really needed it, why didn't he come to me himself?"
"Doesn't he want to see me?"
Feng Zhuo bit the chocolate and wanted to say, "Stop acting." How could Jiang Shiyu not want to see you? Their Xiaoyu specifically mentioned your love-brain in his speech during the ranking announcement.
He met Zheng Yanye's gaze and found that there was a hint of hurt in his eyes.
Here we go again, that dog that got soaked in the rain.
In line with the principle of being grateful for what one has done, Feng Zhuo comforted Zheng Yanye: "The song that Jiang Shiyu and his group is singing is very difficult. They have been practicing all the time. How can they have the time to come to you?"
Zheng Yan also stared at him: "How do you know that theirs is difficult?"
"Of course Jiang Shiyu told me that." Feng Zhuo said as if it was a matter of course. Then, watching the storm begin to rage over their prince again, he hurriedly tried to make amends, "Actually, Jiang Shiyu just told me that he couldn't practice anymore when he came to see you. He just wanted to see you."
"It's all because you're so handsome. As soon as our Xiaoyu sees you, he has no desire to do anything else."
"Really?" Zheng Yan also lowered his eyes and looked at him, looking as pitiful as he could be.
Of course it was fake. Feng Zhuo chuckled twice. Jiang Shiyu's original words to him were, "Zheng Yan also kept asking me to go find him. I still have to practice, so I don't have the time."
He suggested curiously, "Then let him teach you. He knows everything anyway, and it would be more efficient than if you learned it yourself."
"No." Jiang Shiyu poked his head and said meaningfully, "Men only slow down my sword-drawing speed."
Feng Zhuo: ...If every time I see you and Zheng Yan together, you don't stick to him, this sentence might be more convincing.
But he didn't dare to say that. He could only say with a mouth full of chocolate sauce, "Really."
"Okay." Zheng Yan also stared at him for a while, and said with a forced smile, "I'll ask Jiang Shiyu tonight."
"If you lie to me, remember to spit out all my chocolate."
Before Feng Zhuo could say anything, he thought about the scene and felt a little disgusted for some reason, so he changed his words: "If you lie to me, you'll have to run errands for us. Jiang Shiyu has been craving for grilled sausages in the middle of the night for a long time."
"Did he eat it?"
"Of course. Otherwise he would be unhappy at night and make a fuss in our room."
Zheng Yan also had an expression that said, "Who am I? I will never let Jiang Shiyu's request fall through." He looked like he was complaining speechlessly and proudly, but in fact he was showing off: "But who am I? I'm the fairy godmother who grants wishes, okay? I bought it in advance."
Feng Zhuo: ...I think you deserve it, you're almost like yeast.
He chuckled twice and didn't want to pay attention to this love-brained person. It was more important to have a good communication with Jiang Shiyu. He didn't want to see someone standing by the bed in the middle of the night and be pulled off the bed by Zheng Yan.
Beauty sleep is still very important, okay?
Zheng Yanye's goalkeeper role lasted until the end of practice. It was past midnight, and the practice hall was nearly empty when he finally emerged from the classroom. Several of their group's moves looked a bit odd, so he re-did them before leaving.
He was walking forward with his head down when someone suddenly called him.
"Zheng Yan too."
It was Jiang Shiyu. I don’t know how long he had been waiting here. Even most of the lights in the corridor were turned off, leaving only a few dim wall lamps.
Jiang Shiyu leaned against the wall and almost fell asleep. He had thought that he would have no time to look for his roommate today and would explain everything to him when he returned to his room. Unexpectedly, when he finished showering and drying his hair in the dormitory, Zheng Yan still hadn't returned.
He glanced at the time. It was almost twelve o'clock. Instead of falling asleep in bed, he might as well go pick up Zheng Yanye from get off work.
The windows on the corridor were open, letting in the sea breeze, bringing the coolness of the night. Jiang Shiyu hesitated for a moment before putting on a coat. Only after he closed the door did he realize he had taken Zheng Yanye's clothes, but he was too lazy to go back and change.
That's it.
Zheng Yan didn't know what perfume he was using. He was surrounded by a cold fragrance with a very strong spicy base note.
It just dissipated too quickly.
He had only waited against the wall for about twenty minutes when the fragrance had completely dissipated, as if it had flowed away with the extinguished lights. Only his breathing could be heard in the quiet space.
Apart from that, there is the light on the other side of the wall.
The practice room's soundproofing was surprisingly good; he didn't hear a single sound from outside. Perhaps the people inside weren't playing accompaniment and were simply practicing on their own. Jiang Shiyu imagined Zheng Yan also working diligently, sweating profusely.
He seems quite handsome, he thought, Zheng Yan is always handsome.
His eyelids were fighting each other, and the music was still playing on a loop inside. When Zheng Yan pushed the door open, the person next to the wall was almost asleep, and it was the sound of the door that woke him up.
The black coat hid his figure, and it was only when Jiang Shiyu spoke that Zheng Yan saw him there.
Jiang Shiyu smiled brightly at Zheng Yanye: "Why did you just come out? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"I'm picking you up from get off work."
Zheng Yan also subconsciously supported him. The man had a very thin waist, and he swallowed slightly.
His eyes met Jiang Shiyu's, and the two looked at each other quietly.
Even in this charming situation, Zheng Yan still had the energy to be distracted. Who did he learn this bad habit from, hanging himself on everyone he saw, he thought.
