Chapter 45 The Rival's Story: Let's Sleep Together
Xie Changyu suddenly remembered that there were two people he had almost forgotten.
Those two perverts who dressed as women to deceive him.
He took out his phone and saw that his friend request section was almost overflowing with messages; it was a string of friend requests from Shen Zisui.
During these three days of exams, he was afraid of not being able to resist using his phone, so he usually just watched some videos before bed and then went to sleep, and didn't pay much attention to chat apps. He never expected things to turn out like this.
Xie Changyu climbed onto the bed and sat up. He leaned against the white wall, staring at his phone. He first accepted the friend request, and then started replying with a few taps of his finger.
[Bored God: Have your injuries healed?]
They replied very quickly.
[SuiSui: I'm all better now, but you haven't been replying to me T^T]
[Bored God: Uh...]
[Bored God: I've been busy with exams these past few days.]
[Sui Sui: I know, that's why I didn't come looking for you.]
Xie Changyu felt a lump in his throat when he saw the message. This guy even wanted to come to the school to find him. If he had actually come, he would have been in big trouble. But thankfully, he didn't come in the end, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to explain himself.
[Bored God: How did you know?]
[SuiSui: Didn't the baby tell me this before?]
Okay, he forgot.
Xie Changyu tapped his chin with one hand, wondering how to get rid of this guy. He really didn't expect the two of them to stay there and recover from their injuries. Did he really intend to let him fight back?
[SuiSui: Baby, why did you stop asking...?]
[Bored God: Stop, don't call me that.]
[Sui Sui: ...Okay.]
Xie Changyu seemed quite satisfied with this guy's attitude. However, he would never forget how they had conspired to deceive him. It was the first time he had been so thoroughly fooled, having been sweet and affectionate with another man for months. He was furious.
His eyes darted around. Why should he listen to their past and go looking for them? He'd already had his fill of watching them fight each other last time. Going over there would just be walking into a trap. Anyway, he was leaving tomorrow. Heh heh, he'd try to trick them back this time.
[Bored God: Tomorrow, I'll come find you guys tomorrow. Wait for me, it might be a little late.]
[SuiSui: Really?!!!!]
[Bored God: Of course it's true. You think I'm as shameless as you guys? Just you wait.]
[SuiSui: Okay! I'll wait for you ^O^]
Done.
Xie Changyu smiled and looked at the chat content on his phone with satisfaction. Finally, he changed the contact name to the other person's real name - Shen Zisui.
He didn't add the other person, and the other person didn't add him either. He guessed that they probably came together for his younger brother.
Regardless of who they came for, he's determined to settle the score this time. They'd better wait patiently tomorrow; he's going straight home.
After dealing with those two people.
There was another thing on my mind, and that was Wen Shu.
Xie Changyu hadn't paid any attention to the message until he finished dealing with the other two. As expected, the message was polite and asked if he had finished his exams and if they could go out together.
That's easy to fake.
Xie Changyu looked at these messages with annoyance. He thought Jiang Yue was already pretentious enough, but he didn't expect this guy to be even more pretentious. What kind of weirdos are around him?
[Bored God: Not interested.]
[Bored God: Aren't you going home?]
[Wen Shu: Don't you want to come out?]
[Wen Shu: I've never lived in the dorms.]
[Bored Male God: Exams are over and everyone's on vacation. Let's all go home and find our own mothers.]
[Wen Shu: You're going back so soon?]
[Bored Male God: Otherwise, should I stay holed up in my dorm? I'm too scared to be alone here.]
[Wen Shu: Come to my place, I have room to stay.]
[Bored heartthrob: No, I miss my parents, I want to go home.]
[Wen Shu: Oh, okay then.]
Xie Changyu thought the other party had given up, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
After getting rid of the annoying guy, Xie Changyu put down his phone, got out of bed, and planned to take a shower, play on his phone for a while, and then go to sleep.
After all, I have to get up early tomorrow to catch my flight.
He took a clean set of pajamas from the crammed closet, paused as he passed Gu Qingjia's bed, looked at the messy things on the table and the disheveled blankets on the bed, hesitated for a moment, and then asked Jiang Yue, "What will happen to the blankets if he doesn't come back?"
Winter break is over, and if I don't clean this quilt, what if some mice nest in it, and it will also accumulate a lot of dust...
He wasn't worried about Gu Qingjia's bed, but rather that his own bed might be affected.
Jiang Yue was tidying up his things, but when he saw Xie Changyu ask, he turned around. He first glanced at Gu Qingjia's position, then looked at Xie Changyu and said in a low voice, "Don't worry."
Um?
Xie Changyu looked at Jiang Yue, who had only said four words and then fell silent, and asked hesitantly, "Will Gu Qingjia come back?"
The school gates will be closed in a few days, and the dormitory buildings will be locked too. It's uncertain whether Gu Qingjia will be able to get in then.
But his worries were dispelled by Jiang Yue's words in the next second.
"I've called someone to clean tomorrow, and they'll tidy up these blankets."
"That's good." Hearing him say that, Xie Changyu was relieved. As long as someone was coming to take care of it, it didn't matter whether Gu Qingjia came back or not.
Then he doesn't need to worry about it anymore, since it's none of his business anyway.
You seem to care about him a lot.
"ah?"
Xie Changyu was stunned by Jiang Yue's certain tone, not understanding how he could have such a misconception, and quickly denied it, saying, "I was just asking."
Moreover, he stared at Jiang Yue strangely, thinking that whether he cared about Gu Qingjia or not had nothing to do with this person.
Most importantly, the tone was exactly the same as when he was questioned about his relationship with Wen Shu last time.
"The last time you went out to meet someone in person, those two came with you."
Jiang Yue looked intently at Xie Changyu, his gaze so deep that it was impossible to discern his emotions.
Xie Changyu was completely bewildered by his words. "You mean Gu Qingjia and Qi Yan?"
Gu Qingjia knew that the guy had suddenly appeared and even fought with that Shen Du. Gu Qingjia's appearance wasn't surprising to him at all, but Jiang Yue said something about Qi Yan.
How could that be?
Looking at his ignorant appearance, Jiang Yue felt a surge of unfamiliar emotions in his chest. His deep features were cold, and he parted his thin lips slightly: "Yes, after you left, these two people eagerly followed you out."
The sarcastic tone of the words was obvious, and Xie Changyu was uncomfortable with it. He immediately retorted, "How do you know they went out with me? Couldn't they have just gone out to play?"
He frowned in displeasure, somewhat regretting that he had just struck up a conversation with this person. He should have asked Qi Yan instead; he'd been too talkative...
Jiang Yue's usually aloof and indifferent face darkened at this moment, and his gaze was filled with a chilling coldness, making Xie Changyu instantly afraid to utter a sound, while inwardly screaming for help.
He instantly calmed down, realizing he had been a bit impulsive. This was Jiang Yue, after all! How dare he provoke him? Damn it, what a guy who changes his tune so quickly! He should have booked his flight tonight.
He didn't want to spend the night alone with this person...
Qi Yan wasn't there either; he'd gotten carried away.
Xie Changyu held his breath. He felt he couldn't withstand that gaze any longer. Just as he was about to show weakness, he saw the other person move. He quickly stepped back, afraid that the other person was going to hit him.
Jiang Yue's eyes darkened slightly as he looked at Jiang Yue's defensive posture and expression. He said, "I won't do anything to you, so you don't need to be afraid."
Xie Changyu was still wary, but when she heard him say that, she couldn't help but reply, "I'm quite worried about you looking like this."
Jiang Yue took a step back and said restrainedly, "I'm sorry."
His chest heaved slightly, and his eyelashes trembled as if he were suppressing some emotion. In fact, there were only the two of them in the dormitory now, and they wouldn't see each other for a month after tomorrow. Jiang Yue was a little anxious.
Since the start of the semester, he was the only one who noticed this treasure at first. Afraid of alerting the enemy, he kept a close watch from the shadows, enjoying a few sweet yet painful months. However, more and more people were spying on him, and he realized that if he didn't step forward, he would lose all right to do so.
Tonight is an opportunity.
Xie Changyu straightened up, surprised that this person would apologize to him. Was this still Jiang Yue?
He coughed lightly and said in a very timid tone, "Just don't hit me."
"Gu Qingjia likes you, right?"
Xie Changyu was shocked by Jiang Yue's words. How did he find out? Although he felt that Gu Qingjia's behavior did not mean she liked him, he didn't know why she had become so attached to him. It was all very strange.
He feigned composure and said, "Is today April Fool's Day?"
Jiang Yue stood there, his gaze deep and unfathomable. "I'm not blind, and I'm not deaf. I just stayed up late that night."
Both of them knew exactly what time that night was.
Xie Changyu knew this all too well. He swallowed hard, a hint of guilt creeping onto his jade-like face. "You weren't asleep..."
Now that they've already said it, there's no use in him sticking up his guns. I really didn't expect that not only did Qi Yan not sleep that day, but Jiang Yue didn't sleep either. So why didn't they say anything?
"I wasn't asleep, I heard everything, and your voices weren't quiet at all."
Does that mean Qi Yan also heard it, and instead of exposing him, he went along with his lie?
He recklessly admitted, "He likes me, but I don't like him."
Jiang Yue wasn't as happy as he had imagined when he heard him admit it. Instead, his expression darkened, and his lips trembled slightly. "Wen Shu let you sleep, didn't he?"
When he mentioned Wen Shu, that bastard, he paused noticeably. He had been holding back this for a long time. Putting aside everyone else, why was this guy allowed to get close to him?
Xie Changyu fell silent upon hearing this. He looked at Jiang Yue with some unease, wondering how Jiang Yue knew even this. Could Jiang Yue have planted a surveillance device on him?
He remembered how Jiang Yue had reacted when he questioned Wen Shu last time; he was already frightening then, and what Jiang Yue said this time almost scared him to death.
He wanted to deny it, since only he and Wen Shu knew about it, and Wen Shu probably wouldn't tell his admirer. But Jiang Yue's sudden mention of it meant he was 100% sure, otherwise he wouldn't be so certain.
He tentatively asked, "What if I said this is fake..."
Then he saw Jiang Yue move his hand, and immediately changed his tune, his tone somewhat strained: "I did sleep with him, but—"
"Would you believe me if I said I was forced?"
Xie Changyu felt really wronged. It was clearly not his initiative; he had been deceived by those people all along, and now that they were holding him accountable, he felt truly wronged.
Feeling increasingly aggrieved, Xie Changyu drooped her eyelids and stared at the floor, not daring to look at the expression on the person opposite her.
I believe you.
Um?
Xie Changyu looked up, her eyes wide. "You believe I was forced?"
"Um."
Jiang Yue's cold expression softened for some reason, and her tone became very gentle, "I know exactly what kind of despicable people Wen Shu and Gu Qingjia are."
Despicable, shameless person.
Xie Changyu choked. He watched as Jiang Yue so casually called those two people "bastards" without a trace of guilt for talking behind their backs. A strange feeling welled up in his heart. Gu Qingjia and Jiang Yue had always been at odds, so it wasn't surprising that he would say such a thing. But wasn't Wen Shu his sweetheart? Why was she cursing him like that?
Or was it just his imagination?
"You, it's good that you understand."
Regardless, as long as the conflict isn't dragged into it, let others criticize as they will, since he himself thinks the description is quite accurate anyway.
Jiang Yue's expression remained calm. "They lied to you, didn't they?"
Xie Changyu nodded eagerly, "Yes, yes, they were the ones who lied to him."
"I knew it, you're so naive."
He suppressed his shame and continued nodding, "Yes, I'm very innocent."
Jiang Yue gave him a deep look. "I understand. Go take a shower."
Anyway, it's good that it's over.
Upon hearing this, Xie Changyu immediately grabbed her clothes and rushed into the bathroom, afraid of being called back again.
Once inside, he finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Jiang Yue was terrifying; he couldn't withstand just a few words. He leaned against the pool in front of the mirror, his face full of gloom.
He looked up and realized his face was incredibly red, and his ears were red too. He must have been embarrassed by that word "innocent" just now. He didn't know where Jiang Yue got that idea from. He pinched his face, and a hint of water glistened in his eyes. His nose was round, and his lips were thin. He didn't look innocent at all.
After calming down, Xie Changyu realized that he had been led by the other party, answering one question after another. He felt he had to defend himself. It must be because Qi Yan was not around. He didn't dare to confront Jiang Yue head-on. Usually, things were fine. Jiang Yue seemed indifferent to everything, and he had gradually gotten along well with him.
But he started to panic because of Gu Qingjia's matter. He was led astray from the beginning and was in a state of extreme fright, unable to react.
He turned off the tap, took one last look at himself in the mirror, sighed, and then began to take off his clothes and shower.
Anyway, since Jiang Yue wasn't angry, everything should be fine.
However, Xie Changyu thought about it carefully and wondered how much of a chance he had if they really fought.
He took a very long time to shower; compared to his usual ten-minute showers, this time he stayed in the bathroom for a full half hour before coming out.
As soon as the door opened, the thick white fog gradually dissipated. Xie Changyu, dressed, walked out, looking relaxed and content.
Taking a shower is like resetting my brain; I forgot everything.
Then he went outside and was dumbfounded.
What are you doing here?
He stared in disbelief at Wen Shu sitting in his seat, his voice trembling with surprise.
Wen Shu was casually passing the time with a book in hand when he heard the voice. He immediately looked up with a smile in his eyes and said, "I came to find you."
Upon hearing this, Xie Changyu immediately looked at Jiang Yue standing beside him. Jiang Yue appeared expressionless and emotionless, but Xie Changyu knew that this person could not possibly be as calm as he appeared.
He immediately distanced himself, saying, "What do you want from me? It's so late, I need to sleep."
Wen Shu hummed in agreement. "I only came to find you because I knew you were going to sleep. You're leaving tomorrow, and I'm a little reluctant to see you go."
This statement is rather disgusting when a third person is present.
Xie Changyu was afraid that Jiang Yue, who had just been calm, might suddenly do something, so he quickly went over and urged, "Alright, now that you've seen him, you can leave."
When he stood in front of Wen Shu, he noticed that the other person's mouth was swollen and red. He immediately turned his head to look at Jiang Yue, and after seeing it clearly, he couldn't help but gasp. Good heavens, this guy's face was red, with obvious fist marks on it, which was not there before he took a shower.
That leaves only one last possibility—the two of them had just had a fight without his knowledge.
Xie Changyu stood there, too afraid to move.
His heart was pounding, and he was frantically calling out Qi Yan's name in his mind to enhance his sense of security.
Wen Shu followed his gaze. He glanced at Jiang Yue, then pulled Xie Changyu's hand and brought his gaze over. He smiled and said, "Look at me. Why are you looking at him? Aren't I more handsome?"
Before Xie Changyu could speak, she felt Jiang Yue pull her other hand. His voice was very calm, “I’m prettier.”
Xie Changyu was thus held by one person's hand.
Although he admitted that the two of them were usually very handsome, he said, "Neither of you looks very good right now."
He didn't want to praise anyone. Although Wen Shu had a cut on her lip, she smiled slightly when he looked at her, a smile tinged with a hint of sadness. Jiang Yue's face was also handsome and rugged; the slight swelling didn't detract from his good looks at all.
He freed his hands from their restraints and placed them behind his back. Xie Changyu took a step back, suppressing his unease, and said, "Don't pull me if you're arguing."
Wen Shu wasn't saddened by his words. Instead, she gently touched the corner of her mouth, her eyes fixed on him. "It's his fault. He beat me up like this. He's too violent. I heard you were alone in the dorm with him and I was worried about you, so I came to keep you company."
He even hissed softly as he spoke, indicating that his injury was in great pain.
Xie Changyu felt as if he had been slapped in the face. He looked at Jiang Yue, only to hear him say, "He started it."
Wen Shu's smile remained unchanged, and the corners of her mouth curled up. "How could I have started it? It was clearly you who suddenly punched me when you heard that I came to find Changyu. I had no choice but to fight back."
He looked at Xie Changyu with a soft, weak gaze, "Do you believe me?"
this.
Xie Changyu gave a fake smile, refusing to fall into the trap, and said, "What do you mean by believe it or not? I'm not a surveillance camera."
He finally understood. So the two of them had a falling out. That shouldn't have anything to do with him, as long as he didn't get involved.
So when he realized the other person wanted to sleep there, he quickly said, "If you want to sleep in the dorm, talk to the others and see if they'll let you sleep in their beds. Don't ask me."
Wen Shu sighed, "Can't I sleep with you?"
He refused without hesitation, saying, "No."
He'd be a fool to fall for it again.
Jiang Yue walked over directly, grabbed Wen Shu by the collar, and pulled him up, saying coldly, "I'm not going to let you sleep in my bed. Get out of here right now, and don't try to use the excuse of keeping him company. I'm not going to hit him."
Wen Shu straightened up and raised an eyebrow. "If you don't agree, there are others. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Xie Changyu wondered if this person could get two other people to agree to sleep in their bed.
Wen Shu snorted lightly. He glanced at Jiang Yue, then looked directly at Xie Changyu and said seriously, "I've already spoken to Qi Yan, and he agreed to let me sleep in his bed for one night."
"Qi Yan?" Xie Changyu asked in surprise. He really didn't expect Wen Shu to have come prepared in advance, and that Qi Yan would actually agree. Are they that close?
Wen Shu nodded, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Yes, he agreed."
He made no mention of how he threatened Xie Changyu with whether he would sleep in Qi Yan's bed or spend the night with her, otherwise she definitely wouldn't have agreed.
Of course, Qi Yan initially refused the request, but then he thought about Jiang Yue and Xie Changyu spending time alone in the dormitory, and for some reason, he eventually agreed.
Jiang Yue frowned slightly. "How come I didn't know you were this close to him?"
Xie Changyu thought he was jealous. Although he was also wondering about this, he still said, "Since he agreed, then go sit with him. Why sit with me?"
Wen Shu began to complain, "I don't know! This guy punched me as soon as I came in, and I didn't even have a chance to ask. I didn't know this was your seat."
He leaned close to Xie Changyu, his voice pitiful, "He hit me so hard."
Before Xie Changyu could speak, the man was pulled away. It was Jiang Yue who did it. His face was dark and his tone was cold. "If you keep twisting the truth, you started it and now you're playing the victim."
Wen Shu raised an eyebrow, her tone dripping with sarcasm, "The older brother hits the younger brother and still has the nerve to say that."
Although he didn't understand why an older brother couldn't hit his younger brother, Xie Changyu felt he had grasped a crucial point, and he asked in surprise, "You two are brothers?!"
"yes."
"no."
Xie Changyu's lips twitched. "Is it or isn't it?"
He looked around. It seemed like Jiang Yue had just said no. His questioning look was obvious. Jiang Yue admitted as if resigned, "Yes, he is my brother."
Wen Shu spoke sarcastically, "You just said no."
Jiang Yue glanced at him dismissively.
Xie Changyu realized, "Wait a minute, you're the older brother and he's the younger brother, but he's already a junior in college, how can he be the younger brother? How old are you?"
Jiang Yue looked at him and said indifferently, "We're the same age, I'm a month older than him."
Wen Shu smiled again and teased him, "He repeated his senior year of high school several times."
Xie Changyu looked incredulous. "Impossible! He was the top scorer in the college entrance examination. How could he have read it so many times?"
"Who knows?"
Jiang Yue didn't want to bring it up again. He glanced at Wen Shu and said, "If you're just staying here for the sake of it, I won't interfere. But if you're up to something else, don't blame me."
Xie Changyu suddenly realized he had been led inside again. He said, "If you're brothers, why don't you sleep together?"
"no."
"reject."
Hearing the two brothers' similar answers, Xie Changyu raised an eyebrow and said, "Alright."
etc.
He suddenly remembered something, and his brows began to furrow. If he remembered correctly, Qi Yan had told him that Jiang Yue liked Wen Shu and had even confessed his feelings, and he had foolishly believed it all along.
But that's clearly impossible now. Not only do the two have a bad relationship, but they're also brothers. He couldn't tell who liked whom at all. Aren't Qi Yan and Jiang Yue childhood friends? How could he not know that? Was he just lying to him?
To avoid misunderstanding Qi Yan, he asked Jiang Yue, "You said you two are brothers, does Qi Yan know that?"
Jiang Yue sensed something was off about his tone. "Did he tell you something?"
Xie Changyu pursed her lips. "You answer first."
"Of course I know."
Seeing that his expression was off, Wen Shu asked, "He grew up with us, he must know. What's wrong?"
Xie Changyu certainly didn't want them to know about this misunderstanding, so he shook his head and said softly, "It's nothing."
Although he said he was fine, the other two could tell that something was wrong with him.
Jiang Yue's eyes darkened.
Wen Shu's lips twitched slightly. He raised his eyes and said casually, "Since Qi Yan has agreed, I'll stay here tonight."
Jiang Yue snorted coldly, "Whatever."
Xie Changyu was distracted by thinking about why Qi Yan had lied to him, and couldn't muster any emotion. "You can stay here."
Wen Shu twitched her nose slightly and said casually, "It smells so good. Looks like you've just finished taking a bath."
Xie Changyu rolled her eyes at him; wasn't it obvious?
However, seeing the other person's increasingly blatant approach, he looked at them with disgust and asked, "What are you doing?"
He hugged himself tightly, afraid that he would be taken advantage of.
The next second, Wen Shu was pulled away again, and Jiang Yue was now between the two of them. With his bright eyes, sharp eyebrows, and handsome features, he looked at Wen Shu with a sharp expression, "Get lost if you're being lewd."
Xie Changyu was taken aback by his blunt words. He hissed softly, fearing that the two would start fighting again.
Wen Shu wasn't annoyed at all, appearing to have a very good temper. A smile graced her delicate, cold face. "So you do know. Are you envious?"
Xie Changyu closed his eyes. This guy really dares to say things.
Jiang Yue didn't reply to him, but instead sneered, "Looks like I should tell Qi Yan first, lest you stay all night and wet his bed."
Wen Shu smiled faintly, "With Chang Yu around, things might be different."
Xie Changyu couldn't listen anymore. He couldn't understand how these two people could say such things without any shame. Was he just too thin-skinned?
His ears had already started to turn red, and his eyelashes trembled slightly with an indescribable youthful awkwardness, which warmed Wen Shu's heart.
"How about I sleep with you tonight, Changyu?"
Wen Shu began to coax Xie Changyu in an attempt to achieve his own goals.
But Xie Changyu firmly refused, "No, since Qi Yan agreed to let you sleep with him, then go and sleep with him."
"Alright, I'm going to sleep now. You guys can chat yourselves."
After saying that, he turned around, took off his shoes, and immediately climbed into bed.
Neither of them stopped him, but as soon as the other person went up, Wen Shu's smile slowly disappeared until his face became expressionless.
Jiang Yue frowned and glanced at him, then said softly, "Pretending."
Wen Shu raised his eyes, his smile devoid of any warmth. "Likewise."
Once on the bed, Xie Changyu stopped paying attention to the two people below him. He picked up his phone, found Qi Yan's profile, and started sending messages like crazy.
His face puffed up, and he was furious.
[Bored God: You lied to me!!!]
[Bored God: Wen Shu and Jiang Yue are clearly brothers! You grew up with them and still lied to me that Jiang Yue likes Wen Shu. Gu Qingjia lied to me too, right?!]
The reply came almost instantly.
[Qi Yan: What happened?]
Qi Yan: I didn't lie to you.
[Bored Male God: I just asked them in person!]
[Qi Yan: Has Wen Shu come to our dorm? Looks like he's really planning to stay overnight.]
[Bored heartthrob: ...Don't change the subject.]
[Qi Yan: I'm not lying to you. What the forum said is true. Gu Qingjia confessed to Wen Shu, and Jiang Yue also confessed to Wen Shu. I witnessed it with my own eyes.]
[Bored Male God: Leaving aside Gu Qingjia, Jiang Yue and Wen Shu are brothers, right? They're confessing their feelings to each other??]
[Qi Yan: Laughs] They didn't explain it clearly to you, did they? Although they are brothers, they are not related by blood.
Xie Changyu was stunned when he saw this line of text. No blood relation? He recalled the appearances of the two people and realized that they did not look very alike.
[Bored God: What's going on?]
[Qi Yan: They are half-brothers, and Wen Shu is the son of Jiang Yue's father's first love. The situation is a bit complicated, and it's not easy to explain over the phone.]
Xie Changyu calmed down after realizing that the other party had not lied to her.
[Bored God: Never mind then, as long as you didn't lie to me.]
He wasn't very interested in the rest.
[Qi Yan: Are we studying in our dorm room now?]
[Bored God: Hmm.]
[Qi Yan: Their relationship has never been good. If they start fighting, just ignore it.]
Xie Changyu felt a little guilty. The two of them had already fought once, but he didn't know how long the second round would take.
[Bored God: Okay, don't worry.]
[Qi Yan: I'm boarding the plane now. You should get some sleep too. Call me if you need anything.]
Xie Changyu knew the other party was busy in another city, so he replied with an "okay" and left.
After replying to the message, he lost interest in playing games. He glanced at the two people below him, one setting up a table and the other using the restroom.
He sat for a while, not knowing what to do. Just as he was about to lie down, the bathroom door opened, and he met Wen Shu's gaze.
Do you have a new toothbrush?
Xie Changyu sighed, "I have some in my drawer, take it yourself."
With a smile on his face, Wen Shu walked to his bedside, then bent down, opened the drawer, and took out a new toothbrush.
Just as he was about to close the box, his sharp eyes spotted something that looked very familiar. Wen Shu's eyelids twitched, but he calmly took the black object out and then covered it with his palm.
Xie Changyu saw that he was still bent over and thought he hadn't found it yet. "Haven't you seen it yet?" He doesn't usually rummage through drawers; he just stuffs whatever he has in there. But a toothbrush should be quite conspicuous.
Wen Shu's expression remained unchanged. He straightened up and said, "Found it."
As he spoke, he even picked up the toothbrush and shook it.
Xie Changyu nodded casually and urged, "Then hurry up and wash up. Our dorm lights usually go out at 11 p.m.
It's already 10:30, it's getting late.
Wen Shu smiled gently and said softly, "Okay."
His face darkened instantly as he turned around. He took a few steps and threw the things onto Jiang Yue's desk.
The sound was a bit loud. Jiang Yue looked at the black thing, then glanced at Wen Shu without any emotion, and asked, "What is this?"
Wen Shu raised an eyebrow and said softly, "Keep pretending."
"If I remember correctly, you have a lot of these things, how come they ended up in Changyu's drawer?"
They were talking quietly, and Xie Changyu, engrossed in short videos, was completely unaware of the tense atmosphere between the two people under the bed.
Jiang Yue remained silent.
Wen Shu felt a surge of anger. "No wonder you suddenly called me that night. You planted this bug on Chang Yu, didn't you? You could hear everything he was doing. You're such a pervert."
Wen Shu glanced at the bugging device, his expression cold. "How long has it been going on?"
Jiang Yue scoffed, "In what capacity are you questioning me? Let me guess, lover? A shameless slut who hides her secret?"
Wen Shu stared at him for a second, then swung her fist and punched him hard.
Jiang Yue reacted quickly and blocked him, sneering, "You think you'll succeed this time because I accidentally let you get away with it?"
Then he let go and struck with his other hand.
To his surprise, Wen Shu did not move but let his hand strike her. A heavy groan sounded, and Wen Shu turned her head, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth this time.
Jiang Yue frowned and said coldly, "What are you up to now?"
What are you doing?
Xie Changyu simply couldn't believe that the two people below had started fighting again just because he had been looking at his phone for a while. He had never seen anything like it before and was afraid that things would get serious and the whole dormitory would be in chaos, so he could only speak up to stop them.
But the next second, when he saw the two people looking at him with cold eyes, he chickened out again.
He stopped speaking, opened his mouth, and asked, "Can you... go outside to fight?"
Wen Shu's expression was somewhat distorted. This time, he turned around and looked directly at Xie Changyu. He said softly, "It's over. Don't be afraid."
Xie Changyu only noticed the blood at the corner of his mouth at this moment. He hadn't expected the two to fight so violently. He pointed to the corner of his mouth, "Your mouth..."
Wen Shu wiped it with her hand, looking nonchalant, "It's alright."
Xie Changyu could tell with his own eyes who struck harder and who had the advantage. Although he didn't know who started it, he could tell that Wen Shu was the most seriously injured.
His gaze toward Jiang Yue held a hint of reproach, but he remained silent; he dared not speak.
Jiang Yue took in the interaction between the two. His eyes were dark and devoid of warmth. Finally, he moved his mouth slightly, but Xie Changyu couldn't hear what he was saying at all. He could only see Wen Shu's expression change, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
Jiang Yue glanced at Xie Changyu again, then put away the black object and turned to wash up.
This was the first time Xie Changyu had ever seen someone's mouth bleed. He had never seen Shen Zisui and Shen Du fight like this before, so it seemed that he hadn't put in enough effort.
"Take my tissue and wipe yourself."
Wen Shu's eyes softened. "It's alright."
Xie Changyu curled her lip and said sarcastically, "Bleeding at night is very scary."
Wen Shu went to the floor under his bed, pulled out a few tissues, and carefully wiped the area clean. He leaned closer and asked, "Changyu, can I sleep with you tonight?"
"No way." Xie Changyu refused decisively, not forgetting that this person had always been concerned about his health.
Wen Shu started to play the victim, pretending to be pitiful, saying, "Qi Yan's bed is next to his bed, I'm afraid I won't be able to dodge if I hit him."
Xie Changyu glanced at him and pondered, "It does seem to be possible. These two have fought twice in just one hour, and this time they even suffered a major hemorrhage. In addition, he heard from Qi Yan that the relationship between the two is so complicated. He is still a little worried that Jiang Yue might suddenly break up with them in the middle of the night."
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay."
Wen Shu's lips flattened slightly. He had been about to smile, but the corner of his mouth was pulled and he suddenly felt a sharp pain, which made Xie Changyu feel a little smug.
"You can sleep here after you've washed up."
"good."
After Jiang Yue came out of the bathroom, Wen Shu took a toothbrush and went in to wash up. Jiang Yue was getting ready to go to bed when he saw Xie Changyu get out of bed and stand behind him.
"What's wrong?"
Xie Changyu held her phone, her eyes shining. "I'll sleep in Qi Yan's bed, and Wen Shu will sleep in mine."
Jiang Yue didn't ask why, but stepped onto the bed. Xie Changyu followed closely behind. When he sat down, he felt that the perspective was quite unfamiliar and found it somewhat novel.
He took the quilt out of the box, put it back in its place, and then lay down. He even took a picture and sent it to Qi Yan.
In the photo, he is wearing pajamas, smiling, with his collarbone exposed, lying on Qi Yan's bed.

[Bored God: I switched places with Wen Shu. I'll sleep in your bed and he'll sleep in mine, so they won't fight.]
[Qi Yan: It seems they've already fought.]
[Qi Yan: Is my bed comfortable?]
[Bored Male God: I didn't dare stop him even though he hit me twice.]
[Bored Male God: It feels pretty good.]
[Qi Yan: Good job. Don't worry about them. Even if they kill you, it's none of your business. They do it all the time.]
[Bored Male God: Oh, okay, I'm already in your bed, so I won't change. I'm too lazy to move.]
They chatted for a few more minutes before ending their conversation.
Xie Changyu felt much more at ease, knowing that no one would be killed.
Wen Shu quickly came out of the bathroom. He paused for a moment when he saw the empty bed. He turned around and saw Xie Changyu sleeping in Qi Yan's bed. "What's this...?"
Xie Changyu poked her head out, her skin fair and delicate. "Didn't you want to sleep in my bed? Then I'll sleep in this one. I just told Qi Yan."
Wen Shu was about to retort, "No, I—"
Jiang Yue's calm voice rang out, "Turn off the lights, get into bed."
Wen Shu glared at him, then looked helplessly at Xie Changyu's smile and got into another bed.
The lights went out very quickly.
The entire dormitory was plunged into darkness. Because Qi Yan's bed was on the other side, which was near the bathroom balcony, there were always some faint sounds of wind and water. He wasn't used to it, so he simply slept on the side closer to Jiang Yue's bed.
He changed direction very quickly, and the dormitory immediately became quiet again.
Suddenly, Xie Changyu could feel Jiang Yue moving, because his bed was also shaking gently. Then, he could feel a cool breeze on his head, followed by the sound of a pillow being put down.
Jiang Yue also changed direction.
Now that the two of them were facing each other head to head, Xie Changyu felt a little awkward. He didn't understand why Jiang Yue was doing this. Was he just following the trend?
He tried to close his eyes, but the thought of having someone above him made him feel uneasy, and he couldn't fall asleep.
Frustrated, he reached out and gently tapped the head.

I just barely managed to write 10,000 words, and I'll leave the remaining 1,000 words for now. I'll see if I have time to write more tomorrow; if I do, I'll finish it tomorrow. I'm too tired to continue now.
