Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Don’t you want him to chase you?
When Sheng Jianan woke up the next day, his body felt warm, as if he had been baked in high temperature all night, and he was sweating profusely. I had a cold last night and felt a little dizzy, but now I feel much more awake and the cold symptoms seem to have improved a lot.
He raised his head slightly, and his eyes first caught Jiang Chi's three-dimensional jawline, and then slowly moved upwards to see a peaceful sleeping face. His eyelashes drooped and trembled slightly with his breathing, making him look a bit boyish and a little obedient.
This made Sheng Jianan recall the cute and well-behaved Jiang Chi when he was a child.
Especially when he wanted to drive Jiang Chi away, little Jiang Chi would always lower his eyelashes and remain silent, looking aggrieved. The tender and cute face at that time, with the look of being wronged but not saying a word, always made Sheng Jianan feel so cute, making him feel more reluctant.
Many people said before that they were enlarged in proportion, but Sheng Jianan didn't feel anything. But now, Jiang Chi is indeed no different from when he was a child.
It was not very comfortable to maintain this posture for too long. After watching for a while, Sheng Jianan moved her body, trying to pull out one hand and carefully move Jiang Chi's hand away. However, as soon as she moved, Jiang Chi pressed her into his arms again.
He seemed to be showing signs of waking up.
Sure enough, not long after, Jiang Chi rubbed his chin against his head subconsciously. Then, as if he was still not fully awake, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Is your cold better?"
"Yeah." Sheng Jianan responded and coughed his throat. His throat was not uncomfortable. "It seems to be better."
Jiang Chi didn't say anything after that. They were both silent for a while, and then Jiang Chi asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Sheng Jianan paused, probably guessed what he was referring to, was silent for two seconds, and shook his head: "No."
Jiang Chi didn't say anything else.
There was a vague sense of "awkwardness" in the room. In other words, it cannot be called awkward. Perhaps it is because they have too little experience in this area, and coupled with some trauma left over from the past, the atmosphere becomes very delicate whenever related issues are touched upon.
Just as Sheng Jianan was about to get up, Jiang Chi's cell phone on the bedside table rang.
He stretched out his arm, took the phone, and said, "Ling Mo."
Sheng Jianan hummed: "You answer the phone, I'll get up first."
"Yeah." Jiang Chi slowly loosened his hand, answered the phone, and lay on the bed watching Sheng Jianan get up.
Because he just got up, his hair was a little messy, and there were a few tufts of hair standing on top of his head, which made him look very cute.
Jiang Chi couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
-
After both of them finished washing up, Jiang Chi and Sheng Jianan went to the cafeteria, where many classmates were already sitting in groups of three or four.
As soon as he saw them, Ling Mo immediately stood up and waved at them: "Here."
Jiang Chi asked Sheng Jianan to sit over first while he went to get the food.
After Sheng Jianan sat down, Ling Mo glanced at Jiang Chi's back, poured water for Sheng Jianan, and asked in a low voice: "What happened between you two yesterday? Did you have a fight?"
"No." Sheng Jianan picked up the water cup and took a sip.
Ling Mo looked at him, thought for a moment, and asked, "Nan Nan, do you want to fall in love?"
Putting down the cup of water, Sheng Jianan looked up at Ling Mo.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Ling Mo secretly said, "It's over."
No matter how much they spent time together, he and Sheng Jianan were friends who grew up together after all. As soon as he saw Sheng Jianan's eyes, he knew that it was different from before.
It’s all over, the war is about to begin, Ling Mo couldn’t help but start worrying in advance.
He simply couldn't imagine what would happen to Jiang Chi if Sheng Jianan fell in love. Given his obsession with Sheng Jianan since childhood, there is no way he would be willing to let go.
He knew that sooner or later there would be a day like this -
Ling Mochou subconsciously picked up the water cup.
"What do you think..." Sheng Jianan lowered his eyes and took another sip of water, "Is it appropriate for me to date Jiang Chi?"
"Puff——" Ling Mo spat all the water onto the table, and Jiang Chi, who had brought back some breakfast, happened to see it.
He pretended to hit Ling Mo, but Ling Mo subconsciously raised his hand to block him and sat a little closer.
The table in the restaurant was not small, so Sheng Jianan was not sprayed with water. Jiang Chi checked his clothes and hands, and then the three of them moved to a table nearby where there was no water.
While Jiang Chi went to get the meal, Ling Mo took the eggs from the table and peeled them while looking at Sheng Jianan. He drank the stomach-nourishing porridge that Jiang Chi brought back without any reaction. It was as if it wasn’t him who had said the shocking thing just now.
"Did I hear correctly?" Ling Mo said, "Are you asking out of curiosity, or are you serious? Or something else?"
Sheng Jianan scooped up some porridge, raised his head, and said calmly, "Seriously."
This time Ling Mo was quiet for several seconds, and then he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the war ended before it even began.
"I thought you couldn't like boys." Ling Mo said.
Sheng Jianan paused and asked, "Why?"
"It's very simple." Ling Mo sat up straighter, as if he was going to give him a serious analysis, "Don't think that Jiang Chi is homophobic on the surface. In fact, you are the one who is truly homophobic."
After that, he paused for a moment and continued, "No, that's not right. It probably means that you are also against boys confessing to you."
"Since the Shao Bin incident, I've observed that every time a boy confesses his love to you, you instinctively step back a little." Ling Mo said, "Although you look very polite, we are so familiar with each other. As a bystander, I can more or less feel your emotions."
Sheng Jianan was silent. He always thought he was a very objective person. Although the incident with Shao Bin cast a little shadow on him, Shao Bin is Shao Bin and others are others. He did not confuse them with others and therefore hated this group.
What's more, he had developed a vague liking for Jiang Chi before Shao Bin, so it was even more impossible for him to hate gays.
"After that, I no longer objected to Jiang Chi's touch." Sheng Jianan said.
"That's nothing." Ling Mo swallowed the egg in one gulp. "You two were good brothers back then. You've been getting along like this for more than ten years, so you must have gotten used to it. Besides, Jiang Chi is different from those boys who confessed to you."
After a moment of silence, Ling Mo glanced in Jiang Chi's direction again, and then said: "On the contrary, I think it doesn't matter whether Jiang Chi is homophobic or not. The most important thing is you. Just a move of your finger can move his heart. I think he is willing to do whatever you want."
Sheng Jianan paused and asked, "Do you think he is willing to date me?"
Ling Mo smiled: "Isn't he willing to do anything with you? When he saw you, he was like a dog seeing a bone, he wanted to swallow you up in one gulp. As long as you don't reject it, your current relationship is actually no different from being in a relationship. At most, you can just say "my boyfriend" when you go out to introduce yourself."
Seeing Jiang Chi coming back with a tray, Ling Mo lowered his voice and said quickly: "Don't confess to him, give him some hints and see if he will pursue you."
Sheng Jianan paused: "Chase?"
"Yes." Seeing Jiang Chi about to walk up to him, Ling Mo was afraid that Sheng Jianan would confess and miss out on the fun, so he quickly lowered his voice and said, "Don't you want to see if he will pursue you, and how he will pursue you?"
Just thinking about Jiang Chi's look, Ling Mo found it interesting. It was really fun.
Sheng Jianan thought about the picture and fell into deep thought.
At this time, Jiang Chi just came over. He took two trays, pushed one of them to Ling Mo's table, and then sat down next to Sheng Jianan.
"You really touched me today." Ling Mo said, looking at the plate in front of him.
Because Jiang Chi was particularly considerate today, he felt for a moment that the suggestion he had just made to Sheng Jianan was a bit unfair. However, compared to the fun of watching Jiang Chi, this slight feeling of being touched quickly dissipated.
Because we had to return in the evening, time was a little tight, so after breakfast we didn't take much rest and prepared to go our separate ways, some wanted to soak in the hot springs, some wanted to sketch.
Sheng Jianan naturally wanted to go sketching. Jiang Chi could see that he quite liked sketching snow scenes, so he didn't stop him. Before leaving, I asked the hotel to make some ginger soup.
Seeing Jiang Chi taking the ginger soup and walking out of the restaurant with Sheng Jianan and the others, Ling Mo called out from behind, deliberately saying, "Jiang Chi, don't go. What are you going to do? You have nothing to do there. Come play cards with us?"
Hearing this, Sheng Jianan turned to look at Ling Mo, then at Jiang Chi.
Jiang Chi was too lazy to pay attention to Ling Mo.
How stupid must he be to play cards with him instead of accompanying Sheng Jianan.
-
Arriving at the sketching location, Jiang Chi lazily sat on the small folding chair for sketching, bent his long legs that had nowhere to put, propped up one arm, and looked at Sheng Jianan.
Sheng Jianan was wearing a short down jacket in a light-colored color today. He stood in front of the easel with a focused expression. The white background made him seem to be glowing, like a person in a painting.
After a while, Jiang Chi saw him pause slightly, looking at the easel, as if thinking. Not long after that, Sheng Jianan moved and turned to look at him.
Seeing this, Jiang couldn't help but smile.
Sheng Jianan didn't say anything, as if she just wanted to take a look at him, and then turned back to painting.
When he turned around, Jiang Chi looked at him for a moment, tapped the side of his face with one hand, and took out the mobile phone from his pocket.
He had to find a way to make Sheng Jianan happy to ensure that Sheng Jianan would not be able to leave him in the future.
Jiang Chi thought about it, opened his phone, entered the keywords and searched.
There was a lot of messy information popping up online, so he quickly skimmed through it. When he saw one of the pages, he paused and clicked on it.
If you find the right one, it is indeed a way to make people happy.
Jiang Chi scrolled down one by one according to the serial number, but the content became more and more frightening, and even Jiang Chi couldn't help but feel anxious.
It's really too erotic.
Jiang Chi felt guilty, which was unusual for him. He was afraid of being seen by Sheng Jianan, so he was very cautious when holding his phone.
Then, with each page turned, the description became more and more blunt and exaggerated, and Jiang Chi's temples could not help but throb twice.
Damn, why is it so yellow?
However, on second thought, it seems understandable. After all, this is how things are.
But Sheng Jianan may not cooperate with him.
Jiang Chi gritted his teeth and continued reading. After scrolling through a few pages, a loading page suddenly appeared on the network, and then the web page jumped and switched to another page.
Two naked boys hugging each other tightly suddenly appeared on the screen.
When Jiang Chi first saw this picture that was too inappropriate for children, his brows unconsciously frowned, and his head was buzzing for a moment. Although he subconsciously rejected this scene, his subconscious mind unconsciously put him and Sheng Jianan last night...
"Jiang Chi." Sheng Jianan walked to Jiang Chi and called out twice, "Jiang Chi."
Jiang Chi was so engrossed that he was startled by his voice. He quickly locked his phone and stood up.
Seeing his strange look, Sheng Jianan lowered his eyes to glance at the phone tightly held in his hand, and looked at him suspiciously for a few more times.
Jiang Chi's neck and ear tips were rarely flushed with blood, and his eyes flickered slightly and looked elsewhere.
Although they helped Sheng Jianan last night, they were too unfamiliar with this area and had never communicated with each other, so they inevitably felt embarrassed.
Especially the scene in that video...
It was really too explicit and straightforward. It was the first time Jiang Chi had seen it.
When he came to his senses and thought about what he had just put into his mind, all those disgusting insults suddenly came to Jiang Chi's mind, and he couldn't help but want to slap himself.
Damn it, he’s always telling people not to get close to Sheng Jianan, but how is the thought that pops up from time to time any different from that of an animal?
Sheng Jianan took out the thermos from his down jacket pocket, unscrewed it, took a few sips, and a warm current flowed into his stomach along with the ginger soup.
It instantly brought a feeling of warmth to the body.
"What's wrong with you?" Sheng Jianan handed him the thermos cup, "Would you like to drink?"
Jiang Chi lowered his eyes and glanced: "... Yeah."
Jiang Chi took the thermos cup and took two sips, then shook Sheng Jianan's hand, which was cold.
"Why is it so cold?" Jiang Chi immediately grabbed his hand and rubbed it back and forth for several times. He had never seen anyone who was more afraid of cold than Sheng Jianan. But he himself didn't feel cold.
"Do you want to go back first?" Jiang Chi asked.
Sheng Jianan's nose was a little red from the cold, and his eyes were a little wet. He turned around to look at Gu Panyu and the others and said, "Wait a minute."
"Okay." Jiang Chi put his hands in his pockets and pulled him closer to his arms to keep him warm.
-
It was freezing cold outside, so when they returned to the hotel for dinner, Gu Panyu asked the hotel to make a large portion of ginger soup and distributed a bowl to each of the classmates who were out.
After lunch, a group of students sat together, talked and laughed, and took a break.
By three o'clock, considering that they would have to return after dinner in the evening, everyone went back to their rooms, and those who wanted to go to the hot springs took advantage of the last minute to go.
Although Jiang Chi opened a private hot spring room, Sheng Jianan caught a cold as soon as they checked in, resulting in them not having a bath in it yet.
Taking advantage of the time now, Jiang Chi asked, "Do you want to take a hot spring bath?"
Sheng Jianan was packing his things. Hearing this, he turned around and looked at the private bath in the glass house, thinking for a moment. Now that we are here, it would be a bit of a waste not to take a dip.
Although he still didn't want to face Jiang Chi naked, Jiang Chi had already helped him twice, so it didn't seem to matter whether he was ashamed or not.
Besides, if they will be together in the future, it is only a matter of time.
After figuring it out, Sheng Jianan nodded and said "hmm".
-
A beautiful foot stepped into the hot spring pool. The temperature was just right, and Sheng Jianan stepped into the pool.
As soon as he walked in and sat down, Jiang Chi brought a pot of scented tea and some snacks and pastries and placed them next to him. I was afraid that he would feel cold after entering the water, so I brought him a bath towel to cover him.
Sheng Jianan was wrapped in a bath towel. He stretched out a hand, picked up the scented tea and took a sip. It has a light sweetness and is very refreshing.
After putting his things away, Jiang Chi got out of the pool and sat next to Sheng Jianan, one hand naturally around his waist.
Without clothes on, the waist is more sensitive. Sheng Jianan paused slightly, but did not push Jiang Chi away. He just glanced at him and said, "Why do you like to hug my waist all the time?"
"Hmm?" Jiang Chi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It was the hand that was naughty and hugged me on its own. It has nothing to do with me."
Sheng Jianan didn't say anything. In fact, he felt that Jiang Chi was more or less used to it, and his hands would itch if he didn't hug him.
The two of them were soaking in the hot spring and chatting, just like usual.
After soaking for a while, Sheng Jianan's body temperature gradually rose, and a thin layer of sweat soon broke out on his body, with a layer of powder covering his cheeks and neck.
He took the biscuits beside him and took two bites slowly. He noticed Jiang Chi's gaze out of the corner of his eye. Sheng Jianan turned his head and saw Jiang Chi staring at his lips.
Sheng Jianan paused, then subconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked the biscuit crumbs off his lips.
Looking at the flash of pink, Jiang Chi's Adam's apple rolled up and down unconsciously, and then he raised his eyes and met Sheng Jianan's slightly moist eyes.
The scene I saw on my phone this afternoon somehow came into my mind again and merged with Sheng Jianan at this moment.
…
Grass!
Jiang Chi couldn't help but curse inwardly, then he plunged into the pool and buried himself.
Sheng Jianan looked at him, his lips slightly parted, and was about to ask something when his eyes inadvertently fell into the water and he saw a protruding piece of cloth.
After a pause, he subconsciously retracted his eyes and lowered his eyelashes. The biscuit in his mouth suddenly lost its taste.
Is Jiang Chi reacting to him... or the high temperature?
The environment of this private bath is too ambiguous and makes people fantasize, otherwise it would not be the choice of many couples. Sheng Jianan thought for a while with his eyelashes drooping, and his body began to feel hot. He was really restless, so he took a bite of the biscuit and stood up wrapped in a bath towel.
Before he could say anything, as soon as he saw him stand up, Jiang Chi immediately surfaced and grabbed his popliteal fossa.
"Where are you going?" Jiang Chi asked.
Sheng Jianan moved the towel down a little to cover his waist: "I'm done soaking, get ready."
However, the bath towel was half soaked in water and was already wet. Once it touched the skin, it stuck to it automatically like a magnet.
Sheng Jianan: “…”
Jiang Chi raised his eyes and paused.
The two fell silent at the same time, and the air around them seemed to freeze for a moment. After a long silence, Jiang Chi's Adam's apple moved up and down a few times. He stood up, stood beside Sheng Jianan, and stared at him with burning eyes.
"Nannan." Jiang Chi's Adam's apple rolled up and down.
Sheng Jianan didn't look at him, but he could clearly feel the body temperature coming from Jiang Chi. It was very hot, burning their skin that was touching.
They maintained this posture for a while, Jiang Chi put one hand around his waist and made some movements, and Sheng Jianan grabbed his hand in time.
"Jiang Chi." He called out.
Jiang Chi looked at him solemnly and hummed softly.
"...The desire I was referring to last night was not simply physical desire." Sheng Jianan swallowed and said, "The desire I was referring to was mainly about falling in love..."
Before he could finish his words, Sheng Jianan's cell phone in the room rang.
He paused, then immediately felt relieved and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go take a call first."
Then he got up and left the hot spring.
Jiang Chi stood there without moving until he heard Sheng Jianan in the room politely call her "Senior Sister", then he looked outside in the direction of the voice.
When Sheng Jianan was talking on the phone, he had a smile on his face and was very polite and friendly.
After looking for a moment, Jiang Chi quickly retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes.
Although he still wanted to find countless excuses, the fact that Sheng Jianan had been hiding it from him from the beginning when she went to dinner with Gu Panyu until now, time and time again, was right in front of him, and he could no longer lie to himself.
But if Sheng Jianan likes Gu Panyu and wants to date her...
What should he do then?
Has Sheng Jianan considered him?
This thought has been going on in Jiang Chi's mind for the past few weeks, but this is the first time he has thought about it deeply. When he thought that Sheng Jianan might leave him, Jiang Chi felt as if he was standing in ice and snow, even though he was standing in a hot spring pool, and his limbs became cold in an instant.
No, he couldn't imagine Sheng Jianan leaving him and dating someone else.
To him, this was like the end of the world.
