Chapter 5 Poor Students 5 Poor Poor Students
The dormitory was pitch black on a summer night, the air conditioner stopped working, and the temperature quickly rose again.
The pitch-black vision made Wu Lan's breathing become short-sighted. The body pressed against his back was extremely hot, and he felt like he was enveloped by a ball of fire.
This was the first time Wu Lan heard Yan Gui's voice.
A deep and magnetic voice sounded in my ears, and the gentle tone and intonation were like a basin of ice water poured on my body, making me shudder.
Wu Lan shuddered unconsciously. He thought he had misheard, swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice: "What did you say?"
The muffled and soft sound was accompanied by an obvious tremor, and Yan Gui noticed that the small body in his arms was shaking slightly.
In the darkness, he raised his eyebrows.
Noticing that the two of them were getting too close, he loosened his hand, took a step back, and repeated his words: "I said I'm waiting for you to come back."
The empty space was just enough for Wu Lan to turn around. He leaned his back against the cold wardrobe door and looked up at the other person.
The temporary blindness caused by the darkness at the beginning has disappeared, and Wu Lan can basically see the other person's superior facial features and the unique indifferent eyes.
There was a faint scent of cool perfume on Yan Gui's body, and this scent was the same as the feeling he gave people, making people subconsciously keep a distance.
Trying to stay away from Yan Gui, Wu Lan listened to her own pounding heartbeat and asked in a low voice, "Why are you waiting for me to come back?"
"I want to discuss with you why I lost the game."
As Yan Gui finished speaking, the lights in the dormitory suddenly lit up, sweeping away all the fear brought by the darkness.
Under the light, the young man who appeared in Yan Gui's sight had slightly red almond-shaped eyes, his long eyelashes trembled, and his eyes were hazy and seemed to be a little moist.
The loose hair on his forehead was fixed with a black clip. His pretty fair and tender face was only the size of a palm. Under the slightly red nose, his pink lips were tightly pursed.
He looked like a frightened little rabbit, looking pitiful and about to cry.
It makes people feel pity for them, but also makes people want to bully them.
The incandescent light above his head made Wu Lan's eyes dazzled. He frowned and timidly avoided Yan Gui's suddenly dangerous gaze, hugging the pajamas in his arms tightly.
"Wu Lan, do you know why I lost?"
Lifting Wu Lan's chin, Yan Gui's gaze swept across her watery eyes, and then fell on her lips that were pursed until they turned pale.
At that moment, he felt like he was back on the court. The boy sitting on the orange bench wasn't doing anything, but he always managed to easily draw all his attention away.
He was completely distracted by the final shot that decided the outcome.
After the game, he saw Wu Lan smiling at Ji Li with a smile on her face.
At the same time, the resulting chest tightness and depression made him unable to tell whether it was due to losing the game or for some other reason.
I want to get to the bottom of this frustration.
And now, there is an answer.
Yan Gui used his thumb to free Wu Lan's lower lip, which had lost its color due to pursing. He gently stroked the soft and elastic lips and whispered:
"Because I can't help but want to see you."

There was a sound of running water in the bathroom, and white hot steam gradually accumulated.
Letting the hot water hit her body, Wu Lan closed her eyes and recalled the scene in the dormitory just now.
He was trapped in the corner, unable to move, while Yan Gui pinched his chin and said some words that sounded very strange to him.
He thought the other party came to him to find fault because he lost the game.
So, when Yan Gui rubbed his lips back and forth with his thumb, he subconsciously opened his mouth and bit the other's thumb hard.
The inexplicable atmosphere between the two was broken by Wu Lan's bite.
While Yan Gui was distracted, he quickly pushed the person away and hid in the bathroom as if escaping.
After lingering in the bathroom for more than ten minutes, Wu Lan carefully poked her head out after taking a shower, observing for a moment before walking into the dormitory.
Besides Yan Gui, there was another person in the dormitory.
"Xiao Lan."
Seeing Qin Qiuyu talking to him, Wu Lan was stunned for a moment and blinked: "You're back."
Qin Qiuwei smiled and nodded, looking at Wu Lan wearing warm yellow pajamas, his eyes suddenly turned several degrees darker.
The boy's face was pink after taking a shower, his raven-black eyelashes were trembling, and his already bright eyes looked even more lively after being moistened by water.
He had fair skin, and after taking a shower with hot water, part of his skin was dyed a beautiful pink. His limbs exposed outside his clothes were clean and white. The warm yellow pajamas made him look soft and tender, without a trace of aggressiveness.
As Wu Lan approached, the fragrance that entered her nose became stronger. The moist and sweet scent mixed with the smell of shower gel made her feel extremely thirsty.
There were water droplets hanging on the ends of her black hair. A few of them rolled down and sank into her collar, and a large drop of water slid down to the protruding collarbone under her neck.
"Wet hair is not good, let me help you blow dry it."
Qin Qiuluo naturally offered to help blow-dry her hair, pulled Wu Lan in front of him, and did not give Wu Lan a chance to refuse.
The bathroom door slammed shut, and Wu Lan looked over curiously.
"Yan Gui went to take a shower."
Qin Qiuyu took out the hair dryer, glanced at the bathroom, and then looked away. He said softly, "He has a rather cold personality. Don't bother with him."
"Oh~"
Wu Lan made an "oh" sound, seemingly understanding something, and silently pondered Qin Qiuyu's words and what Yan Gui had done to him not long ago.
The hair dryer was so loud that you could hear it even in the closed bathroom.
Looking at the wet bathroom and the white mist that had not yet completely dissipated, Yan Gui smelled a lingering sweet fragrance.
Thinking of the fragrance he smelled when Wu Lan passed by just now, Yan Gui frowned and his jaw suddenly tensed.
Turning on the hot water, the steam spread throughout the bathroom again. The fragrance that had been unable to dissipate before was accumulated and lingered silently around Yan Gui.
It felt as if Wu Lan was standing right next to him.
As the hot water washed over him, Yan Gui vaguely recalled the feeling of trapping Wu Lan in front of the closet. The slender boy huddled softly in his arms, his unique sweet fragrance piercing his nostrils like a snake.
No matter where you touched the boy, it was smooth, and his face was so tender that it was about to ooze juice, soft and delicate. The only thing about his body that was really good at biting people was his mouth.
The bite mark on my thumb has disappeared, but the touch and aroma of my wet and soft tongue remain, and my heart trembles when I think of it.
Yan Gui's breathing suddenly became disordered, and his jaw tightened a little. He looked at the obvious changes below his sight, and his cold brows wrinkled into a river shape.
Looks very distressed.
Listening to the sound of hair drying outside, he silently turned the water temperature regulator and began to rinse his body with cold water.
He stayed in the bathroom much longer than usual that night.
Seeing Qin Qiuyu raise an eyebrow and look at him, Yan Gui explained calmly, "It was hot, so I took a long time to shower."
"What about him?"
Qin Qiu pointed at the bed with curtains hanging on it and lowered his voice: "Xiao Lan said she was sleepy. She should be asleep by now."
Nodding in understanding, Yan Gui placed the towel he had used to wipe his wet hair on the back of the chair. Half a minute later, he looked at Qin Qiuyu again, "When did you become so familiar with him?"
Something flashed across Qin Qiu's eyes, but he kept smiling and asked instead of answering:
"Why, is there a problem?"
...
The next day.
Wu Lan had no classes that day, so he stayed in bed for more than ten minutes before getting up.
Just as he fell asleep last night, his cell phone kept vibrating and disturbing him, so he had to press the power off button in his drowsy state.
As soon as I turned on the phone, a dense network of messages popped up, almost all sent by the same person.
Looking at the latest good morning message from Ji Li, Wu Lan yawned and replied with one hand:
Good morning!
The other party replied immediately, [Xiao Lan is awake?]
Wu Lan threw away her phone and slowly climbed out of bed. She glanced at the empty dormitory, then went to wash up with her hair messed up from sleep. It was about ten minutes later that she replied to Ji Li's second message.
[Well, I woke up. I went to bed early last night.]
Ji Li: [No wonder you didn’t reply to me last night, so that’s how it is, it’s okay, hahaha]
Ji Li: [I don’t have classes today. Do you want to go play with me?]
[No, I have something to do today. I’ll play with you next time~]
After replying to Ji Li, Wu Lan closed the dialog box and clicked into the SMS mailbox, which contained an unread message.
After reading the message, Wu Lan's face was full of worry.
[System, the debt collector sent me a bank account and told me to transfer the money to it by tomorrow, otherwise they will not let me go.]
He poked at 2720, feeling extremely distressed. "What should we do? We're still three thousand yuan short..."
2720 thought about it and suggested, "Go to the part-time job platform to see if there are any suitable part-time jobs. If there are, we can take them."
That's a good idea.
Under the guidance of 2720, Wu Lan found a part-time job platform, but the part-time jobs there were very mixed and the pay was pitifully low.
Being short of money, he had few options to choose from.
He wanted to randomly choose one with his eyes closed, but he didn't know where he clicked. The page froze after refreshing, and finally showed that he had successfully grabbed a newly released part-time job.
Without carefully looking at the part-time job requirements and work content, Wu Lan only saw the remuneration amount of three thousand yuan.
His eyes widened, and after confirming again and again that he was not mistaken, he quickly changed his clothes and rushed to the place agreed with his employer.
On the way there, Wu Lan slowly calmed down.
He felt that this kind of job that paid well for little work was too rare and suspected that he had fallen into a trap set by a scam gang.
He carefully analyzed the situation with 2720. [The job involves sharing a meal with someone. It requires the applicant to have a certain level of acting talent, be emotionally stable, and maintain a balanced attitude.]
What kind of job is this? Earning 3,000 yuan just for a meal is unbelievable.
2720 hummed, "The job description is a bit strange, but it's been vetted by the platform, so it shouldn't be a scam."
The employer arranged to meet us at a large shopping mall. If you feel there is a problem, you can leave at any time. Don't be afraid.
Wu Lan was indeed a little scared, but thinking about the tempting reward, she still wanted to give it a try. [Let's go and see what the situation is.]
He originally wanted to go and take a look at the situation first, but as soon as he met his employer, he was taken into a styling studio and pressed into the makeup chair.
The curly-haired girl in a long skirt propped up her chin and looked at him with a smile: "Oh, I didn't expect the person who took over my part-time job was a boy~"
"It's my fault. I didn't write it clearly."
Yuan Qingqing's eyes were fixed on Wu Lan, unable to move away. "Brother, how old are you this year?"
“19.”
"She looks too young at 19. How can her face be so tender?"
Hearing Yuan Qingqing's tone, which sounded like she was teasing a child, Wu Lan's face felt slightly hot. While letting the stylist fix his hair, he asked, "Sister Qingqing, you haven't told me in detail what my job is."
Speaking of business, Yuan Qingqing coughed lightly and said, "It's very simple. This job just requires you to help me have a meal with someone."
"My grandfather arranged a blind date for me, but I don't want to go, but I can't escape." She paused, "So you have to pretend to be me and help me deal with this blind date."
“But I’m a man…”
"It's okay, it's okay~"
Yuan Qingqing waved her hand nonchalantly to interrupt Wu Lan, and couldn't help but touch Wu Lan's face. "Just dress up a little and wear a wig and it will be fine. You are so cute, the other party will definitely not notice."
Wu Lan was very skeptical: "Really?"
Yuan Qingqing nodded vigorously.
*
For the sake of the three thousand yuan, Wu Lan had no choice but to take the part-time job and let the stylist work on him.
"Can I not wear a skirt?"
Looking at Yuan Qingqing's excited face holding a miniskirt in her left hand and a dress in her right hand, Wu Lan, who was wearing a long straight black wig, couldn't help but take a step back.
The requirement not to wear skirts made Yuan Qingqing very sad. She considered it over and over again, and finally took out a pair of shorts, indicating that this was her last bottom line.
Feeling embarrassed to refuse again, Wu Lan took the clothes with a red face.
Things were going pretty smoothly up to this point.
Before Wu Lan walked into the restaurant, Yuan Qingqing transferred half of the money to her in order to calm her down from wanting to escape.
"Brother, I'll give you the rest of the money after dinner~"
She kindly said, "You don't need to talk too much to him, just deal with him casually."
"Remember, don't let him take advantage of you. This is crucial!"
Stunned by Yuan Qingqing's final instructions, Wu Lan nodded, "I know, don't worry, Sister Qingqing."
Seeing that the time was almost up, Wu Lan lowered her head to straighten her clothes, took a deep breath and walked into the restaurant. She was led by the waiter to the reserved table.
The other party hasn't arrived yet.
After taking a sip of lemonade cautiously, Wu Lan pulled her shorts down uncomfortably, trying to cover more.
But the pants were really disobedient. After pulling for a long time, they were still too short. He had no choice but to put his legs together and clamp them tightly.
Beautiful piano music was playing in the restaurant, and the gentle sound of knives and forks touching plates could be heard from time to time.
Everyone was comfortable except him.
Wu Lan was too nervous. He didn't notice that since he came in, the guests in the restaurant had been looking at him from time to time. Those vague gazes were not illusions caused by Wu Lan's oversensitivity.
After waiting for a while, a person suddenly sat down opposite.
"Hello."
The clear voice made Wu Lan shudder all over. He didn't dare to look up, but saw out of the corner of his eye that the other person was wearing a pair of black pants with a silver chain hanging on it.
On the table were the sunglasses the other person had taken off, and the fluorescent gold temples highlighted his unrestrained and flamboyant personality.
Hao Yuqin's patience had reached its limit because of this forced blind date. He lowered his eyes and glanced at the long-haired girl sitting opposite him without saying a word, his brows furrowed.
The considerate waiter came over immediately to take the order, but was sent away by Hao Yuqin with a gesture.
Not wanting to waste any more time, he got straight to the point and said, "I heard you were forced to come here too. Let's just call it a day."
Hao Yuqin narrowed his eyes and looked at the girl who had not said a word yet.
Her long hair almost completely obscured her face. With her head lowered, only her pointed chin could be seen. Her top was a simple design, and beneath her denim shorts were two long, white legs...
He saw it as soon as he walked in. The two legs that were tightly clamped together were being secretly watched by the guests here, and even the waiters couldn't help but take a peek when they passed by.
He looked away and saw that the person on the other side was still silent. Hao Yuqin's patience was completely exhausted and he stood up and prepared to leave.
There was a sudden tugging sensation on the hem of my clothes.
Hao Yuqin's brows frowned even deeper. He always hated being touched.
He looked impatiently at the slender wrist that was pulling his clothes, and his eyes followed the white arm. The girl, who had been lowering her head, finally raised her head.
Her fair and soft face is very beautiful, with delicate features, fair skin and beautiful appearance that is dizzying. Her long, straight, flowing black hair highlights her unique purity.
The girl's almond-shaped eyes were slightly moist, and her pink lips, coated with lip gloss, moved slightly. A soft little voice sounded, with a negotiating and slightly coquettish tone, and she said to him timidly:
"Can you please not leave..."
"Have dinner with me, okay?"
