Xie Changyu's head spun for a moment, and he felt like something was talking in his ear, but when he listened carefully, he found that there was nothing there. Could it be that he was just imagining things because he was too tired?
Wen Shu's bedroom had a huge floor-to-ceiling window. When Xie Changyu found out, he went over and pulled back the curtain, revealing the dark, snowy scene outside. Fine snowflakes occasionally appeared under the warm light. Looking at the scene outside, for some reason, a sense of loneliness washed over him...
After he finished, he sat back on the bed. Wen Shu was still outside. He came in first. The bedroom was very warm now, and it wasn't cold to walk barefoot on the floor.
He had already told Qi Yan that he wouldn't be going back today and that he didn't need to leave the light on for him. Now he could stay here peacefully for the night. But this was Wen Shu's room. Would he have to sleep with him later?
As he was thinking this, another message came through on his phone. Xie Changyu stared at the lit screen with a bit of helplessness. What was going on? This message kept coming in as soon as he went out. Was he that popular?
Upon closer inspection, it was still Jiang Yue who sent it.
Jiang Yue: Where are you?
[Xie Changyu: Why are you asking this outside?]
Jiang Yue: Not coming back tonight?
[Xie Changyu: Okay, I've already told Qi Yan. He doesn't need to leave a light on for me tonight.]
Jiang Yue: Understood.
Xie Changyu raised an eyebrow, feeling a little strange. Why was Jiang Yue suddenly concerned about him? No, it wasn't really concern, it was more like a simple inquiry. Hmm, but it still felt odd. But why didn't Qi Yan tell Jiang Yue that he wasn't going back tonight?
Could it be that they forgot?
On the other side.
Wen Shuzheng had just finished cleaning the kitchen and was wiping his hands with a tissue when a familiar phone rang. His eyes darkened, and the tender smile on his face disappeared. But he didn't move; he wiped his hands even more slowly.
After carefully wiping it clean, he slowly walked to his phone, picked it up, and said with a sneer, "It's rare that you would call me first. What's up?"
Jiang Yue's cold voice came from the other end: "Is Xie Changyu with you?"
Wen Shu's expression shifted, but her tone remained unchanged, "Xie Changyu? How could he be here with me? Why are you suddenly asking about this? Are you two very close?"
Jiang Yue wasn't fooled by his words. Instead, she laughed and said, "Didn't anyone tell you to talk less when you're lying, little brother?"
Wen Shu narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean by that?"
"He's with you, right? He's still in your bed."
They were all right. Wen Shu's eyes grew even colder, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips: "I don't understand what you're talking about. And even if it's true, what gives you the right to tell me this, as my roommate?"
After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for a reply, giving the other party no chance to react.
After hanging up, Wen Shu first processed his emotions on the spot. When he walked into the room, there was no trace of the gloom from before. He had a smile on his face and was carrying a plate of fruit.
Xie Changyu glanced at him but couldn't see anything wrong. Instead, she asked him, "Do you have any other rooms? I'll sleep there."
Wen Shu placed the fruit plate on the bedside table next to her and said casually, "That's all. This is just a temporary place for me to stay. I haven't furnished that many rooms."
Actually, there was another one nearby, but how could he possibly say it out loud?
"Alright then." Although Xie Changyu didn't quite believe it, he had no choice but to believe it since that's what they said. He had to give up the idea of sleeping separately. He curled himself up on the other side, leaving only his head sticking out, looking wary. "Then you sleep on that side and I'll sleep on this side. You can't come over."
Wen Shu raised the corners of her mouth, "Are you asking me to sleep in the same bed with you?"
Xie Changyu hesitated, "Isn't this your bed? It's not mine."
Although he really wanted to kick the person out to sleep on the sofa, he was afraid that saying it would backfire, so he figured he might as well give the person a little something sweet, since it wasn't his bed anyway.
hey-hey.
"Aren't you afraid I might do something to you?" Wen Shu asked.
Xie Changyu finally closed her eyes, her voice weary: "I can't right now."
He wasn't worried at all. After playing around all afternoon, he was completely out of supplies. No matter what you did to him, he wouldn't react. All he wanted to do now was sleep. He was full and ready to sleep...
Seeing that he was truly exhausted, Wen Shu stopped talking. He turned off the main light and turned on the night light, plunging the entire room into darkness, leaving only a warm glow.
Although Xie Changyu said he wasn't afraid, he was still worried that the thirsty guy next to him wouldn't be able to resist, so he simply wrapped himself up tightly in the blanket, not giving him any chance to touch his body.
For some reason, Wen Shu didn't move, and the two of them fell asleep peacefully on opposite sides of each other...
The next morning, Xie Changyu intended to go straight back to school, but he suddenly realized that his dormitory key card was missing. He was so anxious that he thought for a long time before he remembered the place where he most likely lost it.
"It must be at the hotel."
Xie Changyu said this to Wen Shu. His anxious expression eased because of his guess. He took a deep breath and adjusted his tone, saying, "You go back to school first. I'll go to the hotel to get it myself."
Looking at the person in front of her who was already fully armed and dressed, Wen Shu refused, "I'll go with you."
Xie Changyu naturally refused, her face resolute: "No need, this is my own business, I can go by myself."
Wen Shu paused, looking at the face in front of him that couldn't hide his emotions at all, and agreed softly, "Okay."
Xie Changyu silently curved the corners of his mouth, inwardly cheering that he could finally get rid of this guy. He suppressed his laughter and said, "Then I'm leaving, bye-bye."
He put on his shoes, turned around and left, leaving Wen Shu alone watching his retreating figure, lost in thought.
The snow on the ground was quite thick, and Xie Changyu walked slowly, afraid of slipping and falling. Fortunately, the hotel wasn't far away. She just didn't know if she could get into that room now, and the lock on that door had been broken yesterday.
Xie Changyu walked along the road with his neck hunched over. The cold wind was getting stronger and stronger, and all the warmth he had brought with him when he went out was gone. He felt as if he had fallen into an icy place, and his hands and feet were cold.
On the top of the towering building, inside a room, Shen Du and Shen Zisui were facing off, their faces growing colder than each other's, especially Shen Zisui, who had just arrived and was still somewhat unsteady on his feet.
Chen Du asked in a calm tone, "What are you doing?"
Shen Zisui glared at him hatefully, her eyes icy cold. "Where is Changyu?"
"They left yesterday."
Shen Zisui was even angrier when she saw his nonchalant attitude. "Did you tell on me? The old man was clearly not going to come back yesterday, but he came back at that exact time and even saw me. Did you tell him?"
His face contorted with rage, as if he wanted to tear the hypocritical mask off the person opposite him. His eyes were filled with malice, and his delicate, effeminate face was almost contorted.
Chen Du looked up at him and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Seeing that he wouldn't admit it, Shen Zisui sneered. Then, he took out a photo from his pocket and threw it in front of him. "I found this in your room. How do you explain that?"
Chen Du's gaze fell on the very familiar photo on the ground. It was a photo of Xie Changyu, who was sitting on the grass with a blank look on his face, surrounded by people. It was obviously taken on the day of the sports meet.
Seeing the man's stunned expression, Shen Zisui continued, "Still not admitting it? If I hadn't tried to escape and climbed through the window into your room and accidentally found this photo, I wouldn't have known that you also harbored such thoughts about Changyu."
Chen Du's eyes flickered slightly. He picked up the photo and said in a low voice, "It's just a photo."
"Just a photo? I don't even have this photo. Where did you get it? Oh, I almost forgot, you're so good with computers, you didn't hack it from Changyu's computer, did you?"
Shen Zisui grew angrier the more he thought about it. The person he had gone to great lengths to please was being coveted by someone close to him, and he had even taken the initiative to have someone impersonate him to meet the person.
"That's quite a tactic, Shen Du. I really underestimated you."
...
When Xie Changyu finally returned to the hotel, the warm air made his face relax. He asked the front desk while breathing out warm air, "Excuse me, can I go into room 5188 now? I left something there."
The receptionist recognized him and said with a smile, "Of course."
He then took out his room key and said, "Would you like me to come up with you?"
Xie Changyu took the room key but refused, saying, "No need, I can go by myself."
He quickly took the elevator to the room, and when he got to the door, he looked at it and thought, "Wow, the door has been replaced with a new one. So fast."
He sighed inwardly, then placed the room key on the door, and it opened.
The room remained unchanged, still as messy as yesterday. It seems that Gu Qingjia hadn't cleaned it every day at his request, which conveniently suited him.
He walked quickly to the sofa and easily found his key card. Next to it were the flowers and gift bag he had given him. Xie Changyu picked them up, looked them over, and thought that even these hadn't been taken. It seemed that the person had really left. He had been worried that he might run into him before he came. It was good that he was gone.
After taking his things, he was about to leave when he turned around and saw someone he thought he wouldn't see again—no, there were two of them.
two? ? ?
Xie Changyu stared at the two similar yet strikingly different faces before him, his mind reeling. He swallowed hard. "Sui Sui, what's wrong with you...?"
Before Shen Du could speak, Shen Zisui couldn't stand it anymore. He had gone through so much trouble to escape, and the person he liked hadn't even said a word to him as their first words.
"I am Sui Sui! He is a liar!"
