After the evening self-study finally ended, Xie Qi stretched and then turned his gaze to Yu Ze.
Seeing Yu Ze still concentrating on writing, Xie Qi couldn't help but feel emotional. This guy spent the entire evening study session concentrating on doing his homework, just like a robot. I don't know if he was tired or not.
"Yu Ze, stop writing and go back to the dormitory."
Just like that, Xie Qi followed Yu Ze towards the dormitory building. When they got downstairs, Xie Qi first went to get the key, and then went upstairs with Yu Ze and returned to the dormitory.
There are two bunk beds in this room, which can be seen as a dormitory for four people. No one lives on the upper bunk, and the beds for two people are on the lower bunk.
The room has a desk and chair, a private bathroom, and looks quite spacious.
Xie Qi also saw his suitcase beside his bed, so he walked over, opened it and took out his clothes.
"Yu Ze, do you want to wash first or should I?"
"It will be all right."
"Then I'll go wash first."
As Xie Qi spoke, he walked into the bathroom holding his pajamas. In the bathroom, he saw his usual brand of toiletries, all brand new, probably prepared by his brother.
When Xie Qi finished taking a shower and walked out of the bathroom, Yu Ze went into the bathroom with his clothes.
At this moment, Xie Qi casually wiped his hair with a towel, then walked to the bed, lifted the quilt, crossed his legs, leaned comfortably against the wall, and skillfully picked up his mobile phone to open a game.
Time passed minute by minute, and Xie Qi was completely immersed in the world of the game. When the sound of the bathroom door opening was heard, Xie Qi raised his head.
Then Xie Qi saw that Yu Ze's hair was wet, with water droplets sliding down the ends of his hair. The hair in front of his forehead was also pushed back by Yu Ze, revealing his complete face. And for some reason, Xie Qi felt that Yu Ze had become more handsome again.
Xie Qi: "Yu Ze, do you want to change your hairstyle?"
Yu Ze walked to the bed and sat down, "Anything is fine."
After hearing this, Xie Qi frowned tightly. He felt that the other party's character was too soft. Why did he say yes to everything?
However, what Xie Qi didn't know was that Yu Ze actually didn't care about these things at all. Whether it was changing his hairstyle or other things, it didn't matter to him.
Xie Qi: "Then next time you leave school, I'll take you to get a haircut. I'll find you the best Tony. With your looks, I guarantee you'll stun everyone!"
Yu Ze: "Am I good-looking?"
Xie Qi: "Of course."
Yu Ze: "You look good too."
After Yu Ze finished speaking, he thought of Xie Qi's childhood appearance, so he added: "He was also very cute."
At this moment, I just thought that this was a way for humans to express their love.
However, when Xie Qi heard Yu Ze say that he was cute, his ears suddenly became hot. He quickly retorted, "Your complimenting skills are terrible. I can accept you saying I'm pretty, but cute has nothing to do with me, okay."
Yu Ze listened to Xie Qi's words, nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "Is that so? Then you are not cute."
Xie Qi: “…”
Xie Qi was suddenly speechless. He looked at Yu Ze's serious expression and didn't know what to say.
Simply skipping the topic, he asked, "Do you have your phone with you? Let's add each other as friends. I'll take you out for a haircut on Sunday."
Yu Ze: "I didn't bring my cell phone. Cell phones are not allowed in high school."
Xie Qi: "Okay then, what's your WeChat ID? I'll add you first and then check it out when you get home."
Yu Ze: “Okay.”
After Xie Qi added Yu Ze's contact information, it was time to check the dormitory, so the two stopped chatting and turned off the lights in the dormitory.
However, just after one in the morning, Yu Ze suddenly opened his eyes. He slowly sat up from the bed and his eyes fell on the sleeping Xie Qi.
Then he got out of bed quietly, walked slowly to Xie Qi's bed, squatted down and looked at him carefully.
Yu Ze wanted to confirm how much repulsive force from the way of heaven had accumulated in Xie Qi. The more of this force there was, the more dangerous it would be when Xie Qi came of age.
So, Yu Ze slowly leaned in closer. They were so close that they could almost feel each other's body temperature, and the tip of Yu Ze's nose was almost touching Xie Qi's cheek.
The warm breath gently brushed across Xie Qi's skin. In the quiet darkness, their breaths intertwined, as if Yu Ze was about to kiss him in the next second.
Yu Ze observed like this for more than a minute, and he had a rough idea in his mind. Then he stood up and walked back to his bed and lay down as if nothing had happened.
The only sound left in the room was the slight creaking of the mattress, and soon everything returned to silence.
However, not long after Yu Ze lay down, Xie Qi suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness. His cheeks were flushed red, and his eyes were filled with shock and confusion.
He had gotten enough sleep during the day so he didn't fall asleep at all. At this moment, he was extremely awake, and everything that had just happened was clearly imprinted in his mind.
Although he knew that victims of bullying would easily develop a liking for those who helped them, he never expected that just because he helped Yu Ze during the day, Yu Ze would develop such feelings for him.
What he didn't expect was that Yu Ze would secretly kiss him in the middle of the night!
Although they didn't kiss in the end, Xie Qi, who had already lost his mind at this moment, thought that Yu Ze was afraid of being discovered by him, so she resisted the urge to kiss him.
Xie Qi's heartbeat was so fast it nearly burst out of his chest: Oh my god, it's only our first day together! Although Yu Ze did fit his aesthetic, and he was also gay, this was too soon, wasn't it? If he rejected her, would Yu Ze be upset? Yu Ze had already been bullied, and now being rejected by the person he liked, would he be so heartbroken that he would do something stupid? Wouldn't that make him a sinner?
Two little men in his mind were fighting fiercely: on one side, rationality was shouting "too fast", and on the other side, emotion was whispering "it's not impossible".
Xie Qi spent the entire night in turmoil. In the morning, two obvious dark circles appeared under his eyes, silently revealing the torment he had endured last night.
Xie Qi looked at Yu Ze who was changing clothes with two panda eyes, with a face full of resentment. Because of him, he couldn't sleep all night, but the culprit was as if nothing had happened.
Yu Ze: "What's wrong with you?"
Xie Qi quickly came to his senses, concealed his emotions, and replied casually: "It's okay!" Then, he quickly got up from the bed and walked quickly to the bathroom.
Standing in front of the bathroom mirror, Xie Qi mechanically brushed his teeth while thinking to himself: Since Yu Ze secretly kissed him in the middle of the night, she definitely didn't want him to know about it.
This kind of silent secret love, so humble, was the first time Xie Qi encountered it.
Moreover, Yu Ze was often bullied by others, and he couldn't be the one who hurt him the most.
However, although he cannot respond to Yu Ze's secret love for him at the moment, he must at least protect Yu Ze and prevent him from being bullied by those people again.
