Chapter 19: Rivals - You guys have such a good relationship!
Chen Du stood at the door for a while, and seeing that the other person's attention had turned to those clothes, and that they wouldn't be able to change them all in a while, he simply went in and closed the door behind him to prevent his younger brother's fetish for wearing women's clothing from being discovered by others.
He sat on the sofa for a while, busy with his computer, and only looked up after finishing a small task, but didn't see anyone.
They must have gone to change their clothes.
Thinking this, Chen Du put down his computer and walked to the bedside. He hadn't been able to get a clear look at the clothes from the doorway, but now that he was closer, he thought they were indeed quite nice.
His clothes are usually prepared by someone, and the color scheme is relatively fixed, mostly black and gray, which are common in the workplace, unlike his brother's clothes which are flashy.
He stared at one of the red pearl dresses, the one Shen Zisui had just asked him about. He was right; it didn't suit her at all.
Shen Du's face was expressionless, his eyes were dark, and he stared blankly at the clothes on the bed.
A moment later, the sound of a bathroom door opening was heard, accompanied by footsteps.
What are you doing standing there?
Shen Zisui then changed into a light green cheongsam. Her makeup was exquisite, but her expression was somewhat distorted, ruining the beauty of her good looks.
Those grey-blue eyes flickered slightly, and her tone was indifferent, "Just taking a look."
Shen Zisui snorted coldly. His walking posture was a bit strange, probably because he wasn't used to the cheongsam. He walked to the mirror in a crooked manner, looked at himself carefully, and then frowned. "The cheongsam doesn't suit me very well."
Chen Du also walked to the mirror and said definitively, "You're a man, how can you wear this?"
The two stood side by side in front of the mirror, the same height and with similar appearances, like twins. Shen Zisui looked at his own face in the mirror, his eyes flickered, and he asked, "Would you like to try on these clothes too?"
Seeing that Chen Du didn't react, he continued, "Maybe you'd look even better in it?"
This time, Shen Du showed an expression. He frowned slightly and refused, "I don't have that fetish."
"I am a man."
Shen Zisui smiled, looking at her twin brother who seemed to have a hint of disdain, and said in a somewhat inexplicable tone, "I understand."
After saying that, he continued to gesture with the clothes, and then picked up another set of clothes to change into.
Chen Du stood there and looked in the mirror for a while. He looked at his somewhat pale face in the mirror, touched his not-so-red lips, and then pursed his lips.
His eyes were lowered, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
Finally, Chen Du sat back down on the sofa and continued to handle his business, no longer paying attention to the person's actions by the bedside.
...
The afternoon arrived quickly. Xie Changyu found his race location ahead of time and stood by the track, holding his race number.
The temperature has risen considerably now, and it's not as cold as it was in the morning. Xie Changyu has also taken off his hoodie, and he's wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and casual pants.
"Don't be nervous, it'll only take a few minutes, you'll finish in no time."
Qi Yan stood beside him, speaking with concern, and handed him a bottle of water. Xie Changyu took it, drank a few sips, and then handed it back.
He replied calmly, "Don't worry, I'm in pretty good shape right now, so there shouldn't be any problems later."
"Then I'm relieved." Qi Yan held his hoodie in his arms and his water bottle in his hand, standing tall among the group of people about to compete. A slight smile appeared on his lips. "I'll wait for you at the finish line. Good luck!"
Xie Changyu nodded, his eyes bright, and his lips curved slightly. "Mm!"
"I'll go prepare now, see you later."
After saying that, he followed the other people who were going to compete in this event to the track.
Qi Yan slowly retreated back into the crowd by the track. This time it was the men's 1500-meter event, and most of the people around were the girlfriends or female friends of the male competitors. Qi Yan stood next to this group of girls and watched them cheer for the runners on the track.
What's more, he also saw two or three girls standing on the inner circle of the track, ready to run with the boys.
Just then, he made eye contact with Xie Changyu, who was already standing on the track. His eyes were bright, and he looked very excited, rubbing his hands together.
Qi Yan chuckled and mouthed encouragement to the other person.
Then Xie Changyu smiled, a bright smile that made Qi Yan inexplicably lose his composure. He hugged his hoodie tightly, savoring its scent, feeling a sense of peace.
With the sound of a gunshot, the race began, and one boy after another ran off the track. Qi Yan's gaze followed that figure closely.
"Go! Go! Go!"
Many people around him started shouting, including classmates, volunteers, and their girlfriends. As Qi Yan watched, he couldn't help but shout out as well.
As Xie Changyu finished his first lap and passed his spot, Qi Yan shouted quickly and loudly, "Go Xie Changyu! You're the best!"
The figure, which had slowed down somewhat, clearly sped up after hearing this.
Qi Yan felt his blood boil as he watched. He stared intently at the figure, gritted his teeth, and silently cheered himself on.
Just then, he heard a sudden commotion in the crowd, followed by another male voice in his ear, "Xie Changyu! Run faster!"
He turned his head to look and saw Wen Shu.
The usually gentle and quiet person was now emotionally agitated, constantly cheering on the people on the field, which made Qi Yan frown.
Xie Changyu was almost exhausted by the third lap. His face was drooping, and he felt like his hands and feet didn't belong to him anymore. He had just sped up in a moment of excitement, which had depleted his remaining energy.
well.
Xie Changyu could feel sweat dripping from his forehead. He looked ahead and saw that he was currently ranked fourth, which was already quite good.
That's what he was thinking.
I was just here to get points.
In the last 300 meters, he was very close to the crowd, and he could feel many people calling his name.
It's just an illusion.
Xie Changyu felt he didn't even have the strength to look up. When he finally reached the finish line, he felt like his throat was about to bleed.
Not daring to stop easily, he paused for a while before sitting down on the grass to rest.
How are you feeling?
Qi Yan came to his side with the clothes in his arms. Seeing how sweaty and disheveled he looked, he felt a pang of sympathy. He took out some tissues and carefully wiped the person beneath him clean.
Xie Changyu gasped for breath, and only spoke when her breathing calmed down, "So tired."
His voice was a little hoarse, and you could tell he was exhausted.
Qi Yan opened the water dispenser and instructed, "Come and drink some water, but don't drink too much, drink it little by little."
Xie Changyu did as he was told. He slightly raised his chin, opened his mouth, and let Qi Yan feed him water sip by sip.
"Changyu did a great job this time, third place!"
Wen Shu also held water in his hand. He half-squatted in front of Xie Changyu, a smile on his gentle face, watching as the person in front of him was fed water bit by bit.
Xie Changyu was pleasantly surprised to hear that he had come in third place. "Really? I was that good this time?"
Wen Shu nodded, "Yes, Changyu was very impressive this time, and you even got a prize."
These are the prizes set up by the student council this time. The top three in any category can receive them. Xie Changyu knew this rule and seemed very happy. She hurriedly asked, "What's the prize for third place?"
Qi Yan had already put the water away. He didn't move, letting the person next to him lean on him and chat happily with others. He even adjusted his sitting posture.
Wen Shu first replied, "Not very big, just a pair of headphones."
Then she looked at Qi Yan, smiled and nodded, "Long time no see, Qi Yan."
"You know Changyu too?"
Qi Yan seemed indifferent, replying casually with a nonchalant expression, "Yes, we're roommates. I didn't expect you two to know each other."
After saying that, she turned her head to talk to Xie Changyu, her tone concerned, "Put on your hoodie first, don't catch a cold, you just finished sweating."
Xie Changyu was quite happy to hear that the prize was a pair of headphones. "Getting headphones for running is pretty good. It's a good deal."
He wasn't surprised to hear their conversation. Qi Yan and Jiang Yue were childhood friends, and Wen Shu and Jiang Yue had been friends for a long time. Naturally, they knew each other, or at least had met before.
When asked to wear a hoodie, he completely refused, leaning back slightly and saying firmly, "I'm so hot right now, I don't want to wear it."
Qi Yan glanced at him, and he looked back at her with an innocent expression.
This left Qi Yan with no choice. He rubbed his temples, somewhat helplessly, "Okay, then you must wear it later. This weather is no joke; it's winter already."
Xie Changyu nodded hurriedly.
Watching the interaction between the two, Wen Shu smiled and said, "I never thought Qi Yan would have a day like this, managing Chang Yu like a mother."
Xie Changyu thought this made a lot of sense. He really felt that Qi Yan was too good to him, just like his mother.
But seeing that Qi Yan's expression was not quite right, he didn't say anything, keeping his eyes closed and his mouth tightly shut.
Qi Yan had a handsome face and a very strong upper body. Xie Changyu felt very safe leaning against him, and he placed his hand on Qi Yan's thigh.
Wen Shu smiled again, looking very amiable. "Sorry, I misspoke. I was just using this analogy because I thought you two seemed to have a good relationship."
"You won't mind, will you?"
He smiled gently, asking "you" but his eyes were fixed on Xie Changyu.
Xie Changyu thought for a moment, "...I'm fine." After saying that, she looked up at Qi Yan.
Qi Yan felt the gaze and said calmly, "No."
Xie Changyu breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that the atmosphere was strange and made him a little uncomfortable. Thinking of this, he simply stood up.
Qi Yan used the force to help the person up, and the two of them stayed close together.
"I'm going to collect my prize now, and then I'll head back to my dorm."
As Xie Changyu spoke, his limbs felt a little weak. To avoid falling, he gripped Qi Yan's arm tightly, feeling the powerful strength in his grip.
Wen Shu was somewhat surprised, "So fast? Aren't you going to take a look?"
Xie Changyu refused, saying, "There's nothing to see here. Let's watch it tomorrow. Qi Yan is competing tomorrow, and I'm coming to cheer him on."
"All right."
"Okay, I'll be going now." Xie Changyu said and pulled Qi Yan away.
