Chapter 03 Chapter 3 Although he refused to sleep with me, he still ran into my arms.
As soon as Sheng Jianan walked out of the cafeteria, he met two senior schoolmates from the same department. The three of them stopped and talked for a while.
These two seniors usually take on some drawing jobs. One time, when the father of the client, with whom they often collaborated, came to them, they both happened to be busy, and they did not want to offend this big money sponsor, so after some thought, they found Sheng Jianan. After all, not everyone has the ability to take on such a big order.
Fortunately, this rumored junior was not only good-looking, but also very easy to talk to. After getting his consent, the two senior sisters did this favor.
So Sheng Jianan took the order. However, he did not let Jiang Chi know. After all, this money was his emergency fund for when he would be away from Jiang Chi. Although Jiang Chi in the future might not care about him at all, Jiang Chi now would definitely not be able to accept it.
Sheng Jianan estimated that if Jiang Chi knew now that he was saving money to make it easier for him to leave him in the future, he would probably go crazy. And judging from the way Jiang Chi always makes a fuss about him, he probably wouldn't be willing to let him work so hard.
Therefore, during that period of time, Sheng Jianan hid in the studio almost every day, and Jiang Chi couldn't disturb him from studying, so he had to go out and play ball every day to kill time. It was also during that time that he had a conflict with Cen Jin.
Sheng Jianan earned a five-digit fee from that order, which added a considerable amount of funds to his escape piggy bank.
The three of them exchanged a few pleasantries, and Sheng Jianan said, "Senior, are you free this weekend? I'd like to treat you to a meal."
"Ah? No thanks." One of the tall senior students was obviously flattered and waved her hand politely, "Actually, we are the ones who are looking for your help. After all, you are capable. As long as you are willing, there are many clients who are willing to find you. We really can't find anyone else at the moment."
Sheng Jianan smiled politely and said politely: "It's okay, I just happened to be short of money recently, and this money solved a lot of my problems."
"That's fine. If you need it, we'll introduce you to other orders in the future." The senior student paused and said, "Or you can register an account on our platform and post a few of your previous works. If the client likes them, they will contact you directly."
Although Sheng Jianan had already saved a small amount of money, he had to consider that her body was weak and she was being pampered by Jiang Chi. He really needs a steady source of income to ensure that he can live well after leaving home.
"Okay." Sheng Jianan said with a smile, "We can discuss the details this weekend. You can choose the place to eat."
After hearing what he said, the two senior sisters were no longer polite. Another shorter senior student glanced into the cafeteria and asked curiously, "Where's your guy? Is he going?"
Sheng Jianan paused, and then saw the tall senior student touch the short senior student to remind her. The latter then realized it belatedly: "Sorry, sorry, I just said it casually."
It can be seen that he has done it a lot in private.
However, although it is really exciting when the two handsome guys are fighting each other, now almost everyone in Xia University knows that Sheng Jianan and Jiang Chi are not a couple. Considering that most straight men don't like to make such jokes and are afraid of offending Sheng Jianan, the tall senior sister immediately said, "I'm starving. Junior, let's go in and eat first, and then we can contact each other on WeChat."
Before Sheng Jianan could respond, he heard someone coming out from behind him. As the two seniors glanced sideways, an arm pressed on his shoulders, and a familiar sense of possessiveness came over him.
"Hello." Jiang Chi smiled and greeted the two seniors. After saying that, he turned his head to look at Sheng Jianan, "Friends? I don't think I've seen them before."
"Yes, senior." Sheng Jianan said.
"Oh, it's senior sisters." Jiang Chi greeted politely with a smile, looking particularly friendly, "Hello, senior sisters."
The two seniors looked at each other silently, then responded with a polite greeting, then pulled each other's sleeves and left quickly.
After the two seniors left, Jiang Chi followed Sheng Jianan and glanced at him sideways when he reached the steps at the cafeteria entrance.
Sheng Jianan had no expression. Jiang Chi jumped one step at a time. When he landed on the last step, he stepped backwards and faced Sheng Jianan: "No wonder he left me alone there. It turns out you came out to see the senior."
Sheng Jianan raised his eyes to look at him: "We met by chance."
Jiang Chi also looked at him. The two looked at each other for a few seconds. Jiang Chi smiled and said, "I still have WeChat with my senior sister."
Sheng Jianan: “…”
"What are you planning to do with your WeChat contact?" Jiang Chi asked casually, "Take me with you?"
Sheng Jianan lowered her eyelashes and walked forward: "Just be polite."
Jiang Chi looked at him for a while, then suddenly took a step to the side and stood in front of him.
They were already close to each other, and Sheng Jianan had no time to react, so he bumped into him and was hugged by Jiang Chi.
Sheng Jianan heard him let out a low, triumphant laugh, and walked around him and went to the other side. But Jiang Chi stood in front of him again.
After going back and forth like this twice, Sheng Jianan looked up at him and said, "Stop messing around. I want to go back and take a shower."
Jiang Chi's eyelids drooped lazily and he shrugged: "I didn't pull you."
Having said that, when Sheng Jianan moved to the side, he followed closely.
Sheng Jianan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then simply asked, "What did my junior say to you?"
"How dare you say that, Sheng Nannan? Who told you to leave me behind?" The sound of people coming and going at the cafeteria door was very noisy. Taking advantage of the dim night, Jiang Chi hugged Sheng Jianan and held him very close. His warm breath sprayed on one of Sheng Jianan's eyelids, which made him feel a little itchy.
Jiang Chi laughed with an ambiguous meaning: "You even told people that you would never be with me. Why do you hate rumors about me so much?"
A classmate who knew them passed by and saw them. He joked: "Oh, the young couple is showing their love again."
Although he is extremely disgusted with gays, Jiang Chi never minds being teased about the jokes he and Sheng Jianan make.
Hearing this, he replied generously: "Yes, isn't this our daily life?"
After the laughing classmates left, Jiang Chi let go of Sheng Jianan: "I don't think you minded when someone made fun of us before."
Jiang Chi observed his expression.
Sheng Jianan didn't know what to say. After all, he knew the future, but Jiang Chi knew nothing about it.
The day when Jiang Chi is destined to appear from the sky is not far away. Sheng Jianan wants to minimize the harm to himself and also wants to try to feel the life without Jiang Chi. But they had been together for too long, so long that his heart would ache occasionally when he thought that Jiang Chi would no longer be by his side in the future.
People always overestimate themselves. He thought that knowing the outcome in advance would definitely suppress his feelings for Jiang Chi, but some things are really hard to control. Even if he could only stay with Jiang Chi for one more day, he wanted one more day of warmth.
"I don't mind it now." Sheng Jianan said.
His voice sounded gentle in the night.
Jiang Chi was a little happier and walked side by side with him: "Then why do you have to explain so much to them? Just let them guess."
Sheng Jianan: “…Yeah.”
The two walked a distance towards the dormitory.
"Nannan." Jiang Chi suddenly spoke up and asked tentatively, "Have you really never thought about falling in love?"
"Well, I haven't thought about it." Sheng Jianan said gently but firmly, "Before you fall in love, I probably won't date."
"Keep your word." Jiang Chi was instantly happy, his tone rising, with obvious joy in his voice, "Then you will never have a chance."
At night, insects chirped in the bushes, and Jiang Chi was humming a little tune leisurely, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.
After walking a few steps, Jiang Chi grabbed Sheng Jianan's hand, which was always cold, rubbed it a few times, and put it in his pocket.
Because Sheng Jianan's hands are cold all year round, this has become Jiang Chi's habit. Their body temperatures are just right, alternating between hot and cold, so it's very comfortable to use Jiang Chi as a heater in the winter.
So when it’s hot…
-
"no."
After taking a shower, Sheng Jianan rejected Jiang Chi's proposal to sleep together.
Jiang Chi was silent for a moment, then asked, "How can you bear to let me be so hot?"
"I'm hot too." Sheng Jianan looked at him and replied meaningfully.
Jiang Chi understood what he meant.
It is indeed very comfortable to sleep with Jiang Chi in arms in winter, but it is also hot in summer. Even if Sheng Jianan's body temperature is lower, he doesn't believe that Jiang Chi will feel cool if the two of them sleep in each other's arms.
Even the coldest body temperatures will become hot when they come into contact with each other, so the usual result is that both of you sweat.
Besides, the weather is not that hot now.
The other two roommates, one was chatting with his girlfriend, and the other was playing games. Sheng Jianan finished washing up and tidied up the table. He looked to the side and found that Jiang Chi was gone.
He rarely leaves me alone to go to bed. However, thinking that she had not agreed to his proposal just now, Sheng Jianan didn't care and prepared to go to bed.
He climbed up the ladder to the bed, wondering when he had closed the bed curtains. As soon as he opened them, he met eyes with someone lying on his bed with half of his face propped up.
"I'm here." Jiang Chi patted the empty half of the bed, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Sheng Jianan stood on the bed ladder and hesitated for a few seconds, then stepped back. Jiang Chi quickly grabbed his wrist and asked, "Where are you going?"
"You sleep here and I'll sleep in your bed." Sheng Jianan said.
Jiang Chi: “…”
When Sheng Jianan climbed onto Jiang Chi's bed, it was time to turn off the lights and the dormitory suddenly became dark.
As Jiang Chi requested when he enrolled in school, Sheng Jianan and his bed had only one curtain facing outwards, so they could usually see each other by just raising their heads while lying in bed.
Jiang Chi turned on the light for Sheng Jianan and watched him climb onto his bed skillfully, straighten the thin blanket and prepare to go to sleep.
Alas, life is worse than a blanket.
Hearing Jiang Chi sighing, Sheng Jianan yawned and whispered, "Good night."
"...Good night." Jiang Chi curled his lips.
Blankets don't understand human language.

Room 508 was very quiet late at night, with only the occasional snoring and a little wind coming in from the balcony. Jiang Chi is afraid of heat, so his bed is facing the balcony door.
The weather has been getting cooler recently, and the night wind has also become a little chilly. Sheng Jianan was woken up by the cold in a daze. He shivered a few times in the cold wind and simply got up to go to the bathroom.
After coming back from the bathroom, Sheng Jianan quietly took out a thick coat from the closet and prepared to use it as a quilt.
However, when he climbed onto the bed ladder and was about to lie down, his palm touched a piece of hot skin, which burned him so much that he subconsciously shrank back.
Jiang Chi climbed onto his bed in the middle of the night.
This was Sheng Jianan’s first reaction.
Then his mind came to its senses and he realized that he and Jiang Chi had switched beds to sleep in tonight.
At this moment, a broad, hot hand hooked around his waist. As the burning sensation faded, Sheng Jianan's waist sank and Jiang Chi embraced her in his arms.
A beam of bright moonlight filtered through the gap in the bed curtains, reflecting Sheng Jianan's figure and making half of his face look even colder.
He heard Jiang Chi let out a low laugh, his voice slightly hoarse: "You refused to sleep with me, but you still ran into my arms."
