Chapter 31 Chapter 31 I will never let you go even if I die.
When the two roommates came back, Jiang Chi and Sheng Jianan had already crawled into bed. After all, this was the first time that Sheng Jianan took the initiative to ask to sleep together. If Jiang Chi didn’t seize this opportunity, he would not be Jiang Chi anymore.
"Hey, the young couple has already gone to bed?" As soon as he entered the room, Lu Yu laughed below, "Be careful, don't do bad things in the dormitory, your bed is shaking too obviously."
San San laughed loudly upon hearing this.
On the bed, Jiang Chi grabbed Sheng Jianan's hand and pressed her under him. The two of them had just been making a fuss for a while, but when Sheng Jianan heard his roommate's words, he couldn't help but pause. While looking at Jiang Chi, he recalled the scene of that night, and his ears turned a little red.
His skin was fair, so the red spot on the tip of his ear was particularly noticeable. Jiang Chi's Adam's apple rolled up and down twice.
After staring at each other in silence for a few seconds, Jiang Chi's eyes moved slightly, his voice slightly hoarse, and he asked in a deep voice: "Sheng Nannan, what were you thinking about just now?"
After a moment of silence, Sheng Jianan asked, "What?"
"...When Lu Yu said the bed was shaking," Jiang Chi stared at him with burning eyes, his voice a little deep, "What are you thinking about?"
He was thinking about unhealthy things. Sheng Jianan thought to himself, his eyes flickering slightly.
Ever since Jiang Chi helped him that night, he would always think of that scene inexplicably.
Perhaps because of Shao Bin's shadow, before that time, he and Jiang Chi had never discussed this matter, nor had they watched similar films. It can be said that their world is extremely pure, so Sheng Jianan has always been indifferent to desires.
"You know..." Jiang Chi lowered his voice slightly and asked slowly, "When will the bed shake?"
Sheng Jianan pursed his lips, and his hands at his sides couldn't help but dig into the bed sheets. He felt that Jiang Chi seemed to be just like him, and was led astray by that incident.
Sheng Jianan's eyes are bright and lively, and when he looks at people, he always appears innocent and simple. He clearly didn't do anything, but Jiang Chi wanted to give him everything.
Sheng Jianan opened his lips slightly, but after a while, he said nothing. He glanced inside, avoiding Jiang Chi's sight.
Jiang Chi looked at his side eyes with clear eyelashes, his straight nose, and his beautiful lips, and unconsciously recalled his uncontrollable and pleasant voice that night.
That was the first time he heard Sheng Jianan make such a sound, panting and whimpering, and calling his name softly over and over again, as if she was making a request, or as if she was just calling it unconsciously, which almost made him lose his mind.
The kitten has grown up, become a little clingy, and also started to get mad and run away from home...
It wasn't until Jiang Chi turned over, lifted the quilt and got into bed that Sheng Jianan breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Jiang Chi turned him over and held him in his arms.
Jiang Chi hugged him, rested his chin on the top of his head, and said with a smile: "Sheng Nannan, don't try to avoid the question. Have you prepared a birthday present for me?"
"...Not yet." Sheng Jianan said frankly.
"Then hurry up." Jiang Chi reminded, "There are only three days left."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Jianan curled his fingers subconsciously, then hugged him with one hand, buried his face in his, and took a deep breath: "I'm with you every day, how can I buy it?"
"Do you have any creativity?" Jiang Chi couldn't help laughing, "Who said you have to buy birthday gifts?"
"...Then what do you want?" Sheng Jianan said, "Tell me, and I'll try my best to satisfy you."
Jiang Chi paused, loosened his grip slightly, and looked down at him: "Try to satisfy me?"
"Yeah." Sheng Jianan also raised his eyes, looked at him, and asked softly, "What do you want?"
The two looked at each other for a moment, Jiang Chi's lips curled slightly, and he smiled slowly: "Try to satisfy me? Sheng Jianan, do you know that you have to be responsible for what you say?"
Sheng Jianan thought about it carefully. Although he still had some spare money, it was enough to buy Jiang Chi a nice birthday gift. But based on the protagonist's strong possessiveness, he felt that Jiang Chi would most likely not be able to keep any gifts he gave him in the future.
If I could help him realize a small wish, it would also leave a small memory in their hearts.
The lights in the dormitory have been turned off, and the two roommates have finished washing up and lying on the bed. At this time, some people were playing games, while others were calling their girlfriends.
Everyone spoke very quietly at night, and only faint rustling sounds could be heard, making it seem quite quiet. Only the occasional noise coming from next door adds a touch of liveliness to the boys' dormitory at night.
"Yeah." Sheng Jianan nodded, "You said, if I can do it, I will try my best to satisfy you."
With the help of a faint light, Jiang Chi looked at Sheng Jianan's sparkling eyes in the dark night, raised his lips, and whispered: "Okay, you said it, keep your word."
"Yeah." Sheng Jianan nodded again, "Go ahead."
"I'll tell you on my birthday." Jiang Chi said.
Sheng Jianan paused. If it was on his birthday, then this wish would most likely not come true.
"Can't you tell me now?" Sheng Jianan asked.
Jiang Chi laughed and asked, "If I tell you now, what if you don't admit it?"
"I won't deny it." Sheng Jianan said, "I've agreed to it."
"That won't work either." Jiang Chi hugged him tighter and said, "Go to bed, it's already late."
"..." Sheng Jianan felt the warm embrace and sighed silently.
-
On Friday, Sheng Jianan had few classes, so after Jiang Chi finished his class, they planned to go home directly.
So the two of them discussed it, packed up their things, and Sheng Jianan accompanied Jiang Chi to class, and they would leave directly after class.
Most of the time, Jiang Chi accompanied Sheng Jianan to class. Sheng Jianan almost never accompanied Jiang Chi to class, so as soon as he appeared in Jiang Chi's class, he immediately attracted a lot of attention.
There were even many classmates looking at them and whispering.
After all, there were many pairs of eyes staring at them in the classroom. Sheng Jianan didn't want Jiang Chi to hold his hand, so Jiang Chi directly took his wrist and walked to the second to last row at the back of the classroom which was more hidden.
As soon as the two of them sat down, a boy moved to Jiang Chi's side.
"Jiang Chi, I heard that you went abroad to get married recently?" the male classmate asked, "Is it true?"
"Yeah." Jiang Chi smiled nonchalantly and nodded, "The honeymoon is over."
"Damn, where's my wedding candy?" the boy said, "I only had those few candies last time, and I gave you one, but where's the wedding candy you gave me?"
Sheng Jianan: “…”
"I'll bring it to you next week." Jiang Chi lied without blinking, and turned his head away after saying it, "Hey, do you still have that candy?"
Sheng Jianan turned his head to look at them, and saw the boy asked defensively, "What are you doing?"
"How about I bring you two boxes of wedding candy next week in exchange for one of your candies?" Jiang Chi said.
The boy thought for a while and said, "Okay, then don't forget to bring it to me next week."
"Don't worry." Jiang Chi patted his shoulder with a smile.
Sheng Jianan: “…”
After listening to their conversation, Sheng Jianan couldn't tell whether they were talking seriously or just joking.
After getting the candy, Jiang Chi turned around and put it on the table in front of Sheng Jianan.
Sheng Jianan paused, then turned his head to look at him: "I don't want to eat, you eat it."
"I know." Jiang Chi casually turned the pen in his hand and raised his chin, "Eat for me for a while."
Sheng Jianan: "...Do you have any special hobbies?"
"Yes." Jiang Chi leaned against the table behind him, looked at him, and answered very calmly, "I just like to eat what you have eaten. Is it a habit?"
"Not really." The boy next to him answered, "At most he is a hooligan."
Jiang Chi smiled when he heard that, then picked up the coffee candy, tore open the wrapper, and fed it to Sheng Jianan's mouth.
Sheng Jianan lowered his eyes and glanced at it, but didn't eat it.
Jiang Chi put the candy to his lips, raised his eyebrows slightly, and fed it to him.
The sweet and astringent taste of coffee spread on the tip of his tongue. Sheng Jianan lowered his eyes and held a coffee candy in his mouth. Not so delicious, but not terrible either.
Jiang Chi listened to the class leisurely, glancing at Sheng Jianan next to him from time to time.
"Is it delicious?" he asked.
"It's okay." Sheng Jianan bit the candy, his speech a little unclear.
After listening to the class quietly for a while, Jiang Chi turned his head again and asked, "Is it delicious?"
"Not bad." Sheng Jianan nodded patiently.
Jiang Chi stared at him for a moment, then smiled and said, "Didn't you say it was normal last time?"
Sheng Jianan paused while sipping his coffee candy and immediately realized that Jiang Chi was urging him.
As the class was still in session, Sheng Jianan ignored him and pretended not to hear him.
The next second, Jiang Chi held the book upright: "Give it to me."
Sheng Jianan: “…”
Looking at this scene, Sheng Jianan couldn't help but think back to their high school days.
At that time, Jiang Chi often deliberately did not bring books, so that during class, the teacher would ask him to find classmates to read with him. Usually the teacher would directly call on the students sitting in front and behind him.
But Jiang Chi was thick-skinned and always moved a chair across several rows of tables and sat next to him.
At that time, when they had parent-teacher meetings, each family sent a parent to attend, so the teachers treated them as brothers and turned a blind eye.
After hesitating for a while, Sheng Jianan leaned forward and approached the book. He had been holding the candy in his mouth for quite some time, and it had become a little smaller. He used the tip of his tongue to push the coffee candy between his lips and teeth, then raised his chin slightly to pass it over.
Seeing this, Jiang Chi also moved over, but paused halfway and looked at Sheng Jianan in front of him from a close distance.
If you ignore the candy in the middle, Jiang Chi felt that Sheng Jianan's posture was like asking for a kiss. She was still willing to raise her chin, looking at him with a pair of innocent and pure eyes, waiting to be kissed.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Sheng Jianan looked a little puzzled. Just as he was about to sit up, he saw Jiang Chi stretched out a hand, pressed his neck, and then moved closer.
For a moment, Sheng Jianan's heart beat violently twice, thinking that Jiang Chi wanted to kiss her directly. However, he controlled his strength steadily, maintaining a distance that was neither too close nor too far, just enough for the coffee candy to pass through his mouth.
Sheng Jianan didn't know whether to feel disappointed or relieved. When she was about to retreat, Jiang Chi moved first. Then Sheng Jianan felt a soft touch lightly brushing against her upper lip. That's the area above Jiang Chi's lips, it's a little soft...
The two of them looked at each other and paused at the same time.
The moment of touch was too brief, Jiang Chi only remembered the warm, slightly wet touch that quickly flashed across his lips, sweeter than the sugar in his mouth.
Although they have been extremely close since childhood, sleeping together, taking baths together, and all kinds of intimate behaviors are normal to them and not a big deal, because there is no extra gap between them at all. But this is the first time that their lips have been touched directly.
The touch is indeed very similar to jelly, but softer than jelly and a bit chewy...
"Jiang Chi."
"Jiang Chi."
Hearing the voice, Sheng Jianan was the first to come to his senses and sat up. He saw that most of the students in the classroom had turned their heads.
Seeing Sheng Jianan stepping away, Jiang Chi straightened up, put down the book and stood up.
"Please tell me about my question just now." said the male teacher at the podium.
Jiang Chi was silent for a while, then he turned his gaze to the male classmate next to him and winked at him.
"Even you don't know?" The male teacher raised his head.
At this time, the boy next to Jiang Chi shouted with a smile: "Teacher Zhou, he is busy eating imported candy, why don't you order me."
After he finished speaking, several students laughed.
Hearing their laughter, Teacher Zhou also laughed: "What's so funny about eating candy? Some of you ate in my class last time, don't think I don't know."
"Teacher Zhou, we are laughing at the fact that this brand of imported candy is very expensive and most people can't afford it."
This classmate emphasized the word "imported". The students who didn't understand it at first also laughed and turned to look at Jiang Chi and Sheng Jianan behind them.
Sheng Jianan: “…”
-
After class, Jiang Chi followed Sheng Jianan all the way: "Are you angry?"
Sheng Jianan said nothing.
Jiang Chi looked at his half profile, not knowing what he was thinking. He narrowed his eyes slightly and poked his cheek with the tip of his tongue: "They didn't see it, they just followed suit and made a scene."
Seeing that he still didn't speak, Jiang Chi asked: "Is the schoolbag heavy? Do you want me to carry it?"
Both parents were busy today and no one came to pick them up, so the two walked to the school gate to take a taxi.
Standing on the side of the road, seeing that Sheng Jianan still refused to pay attention to him, Jiang Chi said, "Next week I will settle accounts with that classmate and ask him to apologize to us."
"..." Sheng Jianan glanced at him sideways, "Why are you apologizing to us?"
Jiang Chi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Aren't you angry?"
"...I'm not angry." Sheng Jianan said, and after a slight pause, he added meaningfully, "It's not mainly his fault."
Jiang Chi smiled: "I know, it's mainly my fault."
Sheng Jianan glanced at him and said nothing. He knew that Jiang Chi always liked to show off their intimacy in front of others, and it had been like this since they were young. In fact, he was not surprised at all.
"Then how do you want to punish me?" Jiang Chi said with a smile, "I accept the punishment. Go home and kneel on the washboard?"
Sheng Jianan: “…”
-
After arriving home, Sheng Jianan went home to eat, while Jiang Chi was called back by Jiang's mother to talk about tomorrow's birthday party.
The main purpose was to remind him that there would be elders from the Jiang family's business and Grandpa Jiang's side at tomorrow's birthday party. After all, he is the protagonist tomorrow and can't be as willful as usual. He must know his limits and be polite.
After listening to Jiang Ma for a while, Jiang Chi checked the time: "Mom, are you done? I have something else to do."
"I told you not to cling to Nan Nan so closely, but have you been turning a deaf ear to my words?" Jiang's mother said angrily.
"I have to go out for a while." Jiang Chi said while sending a message.
"Where are you going?" asked Jiang's mother.
"Secret." Jiang Chi said as he put his phone in his pocket with a smile on his face. He stood up impatiently and said, "You're done, right? I'll leave first."
Jiang Ma: “…”
Jiang Chi went straight back to his room, walked through the corridor, and climbed into Sheng Jianan's room from the windowsill.
Sheng Jianan had just finished his meal and as he walked into the room he saw Jiang Chi climbing through the window. If he hadn't been used to it, Jiang Chi would have looked like his house had been robbed.
"Sheng Nannan." Jiang Chi shouted.
"Yeah." Sheng Jianan took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack, then sat down at the desk and sorted out his schoolbag.
Jiang Chi stood beside him and tapped the table with one hand: "I need to go out for a while."
Sheng Jianan paused as he was packing his schoolbag, then continued: "Yeah."
"You don't have anything to say?" Jiang Chi asked.
"What?" Sheng Jianan asked back.
Jiang Chi: "Aren't you afraid that I have new friends?"
"...Do you have it?" Sheng Jianan asked.
"No." Jiang Chi said.
After a moment of silence, Sheng Jianan hummed.
Jiang Chi looked at him for a few seconds, then he pushed his chair aside, turned it toward him, and leaned over, supporting himself on the table with one hand and resting the other on the back of his chair.
"Sheng Jianan, I believe what you said, that you left last time because you were afraid that I would make friends." Jiang Chi leaned in front of him and looked into his eyes, "So I'm telling you clearly that I'm going out alone today and I don't have any friends. I won't make friends behind your back in the future."
Under Jiang Chi's straight gaze, Sheng Jianan nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Jiang Chi continued, "Don't run around. I can accompany you in whatever you want to do."
Sheng Jianan nodded again.
After staring at him for another two seconds, Jiang Chi rubbed his nose with his and said with a smile, "If you run away again, I don't know what I will do."
After saying that, Jiang Chi stood up and said, "Wait for me to come back."
After a moment of silence, Sheng Jianan hummed.
After Jiang Chi left, Sheng Jianan sat on the chair and was in a daze for a while. Then he closed his eyes, opened them again, and continued to pack his schoolbag.
Tomorrow is Jiang Chi’s birthday. Everything in the novel has finally come to the countdown of his life.
Sheng Jianan couldn't tell how he felt right now. His heart felt a little heavy, but his mood didn't seem to fluctuate much.
Perhaps he went through a process of intense resistance and gradually calming down. The most struggling stage has passed. Since we can’t avoid it, we can only choose to be numb or accept it calmly.
Sheng Jianan seemed to suddenly understand why people are in pain and struggling before death, but peaceful at the moment of death. Perhaps he was able to face it calmly.
After packing his things, he hung his schoolbag on the coat rack, went into the bathroom to wash his hands, and then stood in front of the mirror with his eyes lowered in a daze.
His breathing was slightly rapid, and he stretched out his hands and gripped the sink tightly.
-
It was already late when Jiang Chi went out, so it was midnight when he came back. In order to avoid waking up Sheng Jianan, he went back to his room to take a shower first. After he had cleaned up everything, he tiptoed into Sheng Jianan's room.
He has gone to bed.
The room was pitch black, and I could only make out a shadow on the bed with the faint light coming in through the window.
Jiang Chi tiptoed over and was about to carefully lift the quilt when he saw Sheng Jianan move twice.
He was afraid of waking up Sheng Jianan, so he stopped moving. However, in the dim light, he saw Sheng Jianan's slightly furrowed brows. His expression seemed a little uneasy and struggling, as if he was having a nightmare.
Jiang Chi frowned and was thinking about whether to wake him up when he saw Sheng Jianan's chest heaving violently.
"Nannan." Jiang Chi quickly patted Sheng Jianan's face, "Sheng Jianan."
After being called about three times, Sheng Jianan finally woke up from his drowsy sleep.
"Are you having a nightmare?" Jiang Chi asked.
Sheng Jianan was still a little dazed, his breathing slightly rapid, looking at Jiang Chi in front of him. After a moment, he sat up and hugged Jiang Chi.
"I had a dream." Sheng Jianan's tone was a little light, and his voice was slightly breathless. "I dreamed that you would leave me after your birthday tomorrow."
Jiang Chi hugged him and frowned when he heard this: "Why have you been thinking about these messes recently?"
Jiang Chi stroked the back of his soft head and smiled faintly: "Don't dream, Sheng Nannan, I will never let you go even if I die."
