Chapter 42 Defeat Bai Lian and sleep with that athlete (16)
This matter seemed to have passed peacefully, but the two protagonists at the center of the incident, Bai Haoxuan and Wang Sijie, knew that this matter had passed for Li Ziyan, but it was not over for them.
Wang Sijie had always been a proud and arrogant person, a bit petty, and easily jealous of others' achievements. He had originally thought that even if he couldn't secure a spot for himself, he could at least make others have a negative opinion of Li Ziyan. However, he didn't expect that everyone else was as clear-headed as a mirror, and could see who was right and who was wrong in this matter.
Bai Haoxuan suffered his first setback on the road to being "kind". Not only did his classmates and seniors start to distance themselves from him, but even the person he liked was unwilling to talk to him.
The atmosphere in Han Yizhe's dormitory became somewhat tense. The other two didn't know what had happened, but they could tell that a conflict had arisen between Han Yizhe and Bai Haoxuan. Han Yizhe didn't let them get caught in the middle, so they could still get along, but the feeling was different from before.
Fortunately, it was exam week and the classmates were all busy. Han Yize spent the whole day in the library and the sports field and didn't have much time to spend with Bai Haoxuan.
"Brother, you have finished the exam now, I am rushing to the examination room, do you want to..." Today is the day when Li Ziyan takes the Marxist theory exam. Han Yize rushed to the main building after finishing his training in the morning. He was holding his mobile phone and sending a voice message to Li Ziyan on WeChat, but while he was walking, the voice stopped abruptly. His fingers loosened and the unfinished words were sent out. His footsteps paused and he stood not far away, quietly watching the scene happening in front of him.
Li Ziyan should have finished his exams. He was in front of the main building. Logically, he should have been walking with his classmates, but there were some strangers in front of him.
Han Yize knew those people. They were seniors from their department. Students from the Physical Education Department and the Dance Department usually took these large classes together, and naturally took exams together. The person sitting opposite Li Ziyan was his sophomore senior. They didn't have much interaction with each other, and had only met occasionally.
"Zi Yan, I heard you were selected for next year's dance competition. Congratulations." The boy was tall and strong. Because he was wearing a lot of clothes, the details of his figure could not be seen. However, he practiced swimming, so his figure was naturally not bad. "What I told you before, will you still consider it?"
The boy handed the flowers in his hand to Li Ziyan's arms. I don't know where he kept the flowers during the morning exam, but they looked quite fresh.
There were quite a few people around, and Li Ziyan's face was lightly flushed, perhaps because he was shy or because he was covered in thick clothes. He took the flowers with a smile, but shook his head gently. "Sorry, I don't have any plans in this regard at the moment. Thank you for your love. But the flowers are beautiful, I like them very much."
"Are you really unwilling to accept me? I think I'm pretty handsome, right?"
"Haha, yes, you are very good. You will definitely find someone more suitable than me." Li Ziyan smiled and tilted his head. "It is my luck to receive flowers from a handsome guy like you. Thank you for your kindness."
It was obvious that this wasn't Li Ziyan's first time experiencing this kind of situation. He handled it with ease, and neither side felt awkward. The boy on the other side's face changed, wrinkling his nose, but ultimately smiled. "Although I anticipated this situation, I'm still a little disappointed. But I wish you the best of luck in your competition."
"Thanks."
Probably no one can refuse the beauty's tilted head and beautiful smile. Several people watching the fun around blushed secretly. Both boys and girls stared at Li Ziyan's face.
Han Yizhe was standing a little far away, so he could only roughly see the scene, but he couldn't hear what they were saying. Watching Li Ziyan blush as she accepted the bouquet from the boy and talked to him with a smile, he didn't know why he felt sour and wronged, as if he had been abandoned.
Li Ziyan waited until everyone around him had dispersed before he took out his cell phone and saw the message sent by Han Yize. Just as he was about to reply, he saw Han Yize standing not far away and slowly walking towards him.
"Yizhe! You're here!" Li Ziyan trotted over, her pink cheeks looking even more charming and bright against the backdrop of the bright and fiery roses.
Han Yize felt very strange in his heart. He was angry that he was not the one who made Li Ziyan blush, but he was also happy that Li Ziyan's attitude towards him was particularly kind and warm. He didn't know where this contradiction came from, but he felt that he could not resolve it.
"Brother, the test is over, how do you feel?"
"It's fine. I just saw your message. Let's go eat."
"Okay." Han Yize nodded, with a hint of gloom between his brows. He greeted the two seniors beside Li Ziyan and followed Li Ziyan.
After finishing their meal, the group separated. Li Ziyan and Han Yize went to the familiar bushes to check on the mother cat and the kittens. They made sure that the entire cat nest was warm and had enough cat food before leaving together.
"What's wrong? Did something happen? I felt like you weren't in a good mood just now."
"...Brother, that person just now..." Han Yizhe wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to ask. He looked at Li Ziyan and found that his face was still red. He frowned and said, "Brother, why is your face so red?"
"What?" Li Ziyan's eyes were hazy, as if filled with moisture. His head was slightly tilted, his mouth was half open, and his whole face was so heart-warming.
Han Yize was also distracted for a moment, but he reacted quickly. He stretched out his hand and placed it on Li Ziyan's forehead. Then his expression became serious. He stepped forward and put his forehead against Li Ziyan's forehead, feeling the other's body temperature.
His movements were too fast, and the distance between them was only a few millimeters. Li Ziyan's hot breath was all over Han Yizhe's face. And Li Ziyan's rationality seemed to be half taken away by Han Yizhe's action.
"Brother, you have a fever."
"ah?"
The person in front of him looked hazy, as if she hadn't understood what he was saying at all. Han Yizhe felt the impact of the silly beauty directly. His ears were burning and his heartbeat was accelerating. He resisted the urge to put his hand on his chest, put his arm around Li Ziyan's shoulders, and led him to the dormitory.
Li Ziyan's roommates had all returned and were packing their belongings. Some were leaving by train tonight, while others were staying off campus and flying out tomorrow.
Seeing Li Ziyan and Han Yize coming back together, he was stunned for a moment, and then made gossiping sounds.
"Zi Yan, I heard that guy confessed his love to you again today, and you rejected him again?"
"Our boy Yan, you are so popular. If it were you, you should reject these big pigs!"
"That's right! If you're looking for a partner in the future, you have to let us help you screen them!"
"Senior has a fever. Which bed is his?" Han Yize took Li Ziyan's schoolbag off his shoulder and put it aside. He then casually threw the roses that someone had just given him on the table and helped Li Ziyan sit down.
"Yizhe, it's okay, I just have a little fever, it's nothing serious."
"Zi Yan has a fever?" The roommate was surprised and frowned. "I knew it. You came back that day wearing such a thin dance outfit. How could you not catch a cold?! I have hot water in the kettle. Pour some for Zi Yan."
Han Yize took action immediately, and the other boys also took action, looking for medicine and clothes. Li Ziyan was helpless and could only be forced to sit there and be taken care of.
Li Ziyan's roommates were all in the physical education department and worked out regularly, so they had excellent physiques. They hadn't had any headaches or fevers at all. The medicine they found was mostly expired and inedible. Li Ziyan was starting to feel the pain, so he went to lie down on the bed to rest. Han Yizhe glanced at Li Ziyan, who was lying on the bed, and then went out with one of Li Ziyan's roommates to the pharmacy.
"Junior, we all have to go back today. Can I trouble you for something?"
"What's the matter? Senior, please tell me."
"It's nothing serious. I just want you to take care of Yan for a while. He didn't leave school during the holidays, and now he's sick again. Can you stay with him for a few days until he recovers?"
"Of course, this is what I should do. Don't worry, senior."
The boy patted Han Yizhe's shoulder with a very satisfied expression. When the two of them went back, Han Yizhe returned to his dormitory and packed up his things to prepare to come over. The boy was responsible for taking the medicine back. When Han Yizhe came back, they had also packed up and handed the keys to Han Yizhe before leaving.
The dormitory was extremely quiet, and only the breathing of the two people could be heard.
"Yizhe..."
"Brother!" Han Yize stood up when he heard Li Ziyan's weak voice. Thanks to his tall stature, he could see Li Ziyan's face by the bed.
"Yizhe, can you come up and keep me company? I'm a little cold..."
"……Wait me a moment."
Han Yizhe took off his clothes and quickly climbed onto the bed. Li Ziyan was lying on his side against the wall, his eyes watery. Just looking at him like that, Han Yizhe paused. He wanted to go over again, but then he remembered the scene in the morning when he saw Li Ziyan being confessed to. He felt inexplicably shy and nervous.
"Yizhe?"
Han Yize lay down. The bed in the dormitory was not very big, let alone for two adult boys. In order to make Li Ziyan lie comfortably, Han Yize let half of Li Ziyan's body press on him.
At this distance, we can feel each other's heartbeat.
"Brother...the boy who confessed to you today..."
"I refused."
"Why? Brother is straight?"
Li Ziyan didn't shake his head or nod, but just rubbed Han Yizhe's chest. "Love knows no gender. I just don't have any feelings for him, but...but if that person is you, I might agree..."
His voice was very soft, becoming increasingly fainter. He fell asleep after he finished speaking, but Han Yizhe heard it all clearly. He could feel his heart beating faster and faster as Li Ziyan spoke.
Looking down, Han Yize saw a black and white cloth sandwiched between the two bodies. He reached out and gently pulled it out.
——It was the baseball jacket he put on Li Ziyan last time.
Li Ziyan was sleeping while holding his clothes. He lowered his head, buried his face in the clothes and smelled them. The smell of mint laundry detergent on them had faded, and was filled with the fragrance of camellia.
