Chapter 10: The Rival's Story - Luosifen (Snail Rice Noodles)
Xie Changyu silently condemned Qi Yan in his heart, then moved his gaze upwards and met a pair of deep eyes.
He unconsciously straightened his body and moved back a little. "I know that, you don't need to tell me."
He really disliked these people commenting on his body. No matter how bad it was, it was none of their business. He could just listen to it once and forget about it. But these past few days, he had been hearing these comments so often that he felt uncomfortable.
Even though it was just a polite expression of concern from the other party.
Concern? That doesn't seem quite right. Just thinking about using that word to describe Jiang Yue gave him goosebumps.
Xie Changyu frowned slightly, "I'm going to brush my teeth now, I'm going to sleep soon."
Jiang Yue's dark eyes darkened, his lips tightened, and his voice was very low, "Mm."
Xie Changyu walked past Jiang Yue and headed towards the bathroom, inwardly wondering why everyone had been acting so strangely lately. He stood in front of the sink, looked at himself in the mirror, and scrutinized himself... He hadn't changed at all.
First, he used water to pull his hair up, then picked up a toothbrush and put it in his mouth, brushing his teeth carefully using the Bass brushing technique. After a while, he spat out the white foam in his mouth and rinsed his mouth repeatedly with water.
After putting the cup down, Xie Changyu grinned at himself in the mirror, looking at his strange appearance and laughing foolishly.
whee.
He went to the toilet again before leaving the bathroom.
Xie Changyu was too tired today and had no desire to play games. He lay in bed for a while, and then, wow, his stomach started growling.
He sat up, feeling utterly hopeless. He rubbed his disheveled hair, his eyes vacant, and became conflicted.
Should we order takeout, or takeout, or... takeout?
After thinking for two seconds, Xie Changyu glanced at Jiang Yue under the bed, who was leaning over the edge of the bed, his face propped up by his hand, his cheeks hunched over. He hesitated before trying to speak: "...Jiang Yue?"
That doesn't make sense.
He continued calling, this time louder, "Jiang Yue!"
Jiang Yue took off his earphones, his long, slender, fair fingers gently twirling them until the white earphones were in his palm. He hadn't turned the volume up very loud, but he didn't hear it at first. After hearing it, he turned around and looked up, and then he saw Xie Changyu blinking.
With tousled hair, dark eyes, and fair skin like jade, she smiled somewhat innocently.
Are you hungry?
Jiang Yue raised an eyebrow, a knowing look in his eyes, and asked, "Do you want to order takeout?"
Although it is a question, the tone is certain.
Xie Changyu scratched his head a little embarrassed when he realized he had been exposed. He really wanted to eat snail rice noodles right now. He wouldn't be so humble if he ate anything else. The taste of snail rice noodles is torture for people who don't like it.
Few of his roommates could tolerate the smell, and he didn't have much hope that they would agree to it. He figured if he was rejected, he would just order other takeout with a milder smell, and then he wouldn't have to worry about whether they agreed or not.
The main reason is that he's really, really hungry right now. He didn't eat much this afternoon, and there's not much food left in the cafeteria at this time. Otherwise, he would have gone to the cafeteria to eat snail rice noodles.
He continued smiling sweetly, "I want to eat snail rice noodles, is that okay?"
Jiang Yue tilted his head and covered his face with his hand. Xie Changyu didn't see the other's expression for a moment. He felt a little disappointed. No way, no way, he was so disgusted as soon as he heard it. Does that mean he can't eat it?
He felt a little down and was about to give up when he heard a clear, pleasant voice, "Okay."
Xie Changyu's eyes lit up, and he actually agreed!
"Thanks!"
He quickly took out his phone, opened the food delivery app, ordered his favorite snail rice noodles, paid, and waited for the food to arrive. After ordering, his stomach wasn't growling as loudly anymore, and Xie Changyu continued to lie on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the floor below.
Out of boredom, his eyes gradually shifted to Jiang Yue's desk... Hmm, all of them were valuable items. He recognized a few of them, and he could vaguely make out that there was a car key among the keys that he recognized, the kind that he could never afford in his life.
He's starting to resent the rich...
After living together for only two months, Xie Changyu felt that she was about to lose her balance. They were both human, but the difference between them was too great.
He looked away and stared blankly at the floor.
Normally, this dormitory room, where only two people are present, is quiet and peaceful, with each person busy with their own tasks.
After finishing his work, Jiang Yue closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, his cold and stern features softening. As he got up to wash up, he noticed the figure lost in thought.
His eyes flickered slightly as he walked to Xie Changyu's bedside and knocked. The sound startled the other man awake instantly. His gaze, looking down at him, was filled with resentment, as if asking him what was wrong.
He reminded the other person, "You've already taken a shower. Will you take another shower after you finish eating?"
Xie Changyu pounded his hands, somewhat annoyed. "It seems so. The snail rice noodles smell too strong. I'll have to take a shower again later."
Jiang Yue nodded, "Okay, I'll go take a shower now."
Xie Changyu nodded, then, as if remembering something, immediately called him back, her tone hesitant, "You probably can't wash now, and you'll get the smell on you later."
The pungent smell of snail rice noodles has been reduced to suit customer tastes, but it's still there. He was worried that this young master wouldn't be able to stand the smell, so he said, "I'll eat it on the balcony later."
He was also worried that his blankets and their blankets would get smelled, and he would be in big trouble if he had to pay compensation, so he simply decided to leave it at that.
"Alright, you can go take a shower now."
Jiang Yue stood there without moving, his brow twitching slightly, and said in a calm tone, "No need for all that trouble, you can just eat in your dorm room."
Xie Changyu's eyes widened in disbelief. These were actually words from Jiang Yue?! Was this the same person who was a germaphobe?!
However, he still refused, shaking his head, "No, the whole dormitory will smell like snail rice noodles, and their blankets and things will all smell like that."
He almost regretted ordering the snail rice noodles; he could have just eaten them in the cafeteria.
Jiang Yue fell silent, seemingly convinced by these words. He raised his hand to check his watch, straightened his posture, and said, "I'll take you out to eat."
Xie Changyu almost suspected that the person in front of him had been replaced. His eyes hesitated, and although he was very tempted, he still firmly refused: "No, I don't really want to go out tonight, I'm too lazy to move."
"Then you can eat without worry, no one will say anything to you. I'll have someone clean the dorm room tomorrow."
Jiang Yue said this.
In their dormitory, everyone basically handled their own trash, and the common areas were cleaned in turns. Xie Changyu didn't have any objections, as he had gone through the same thing in high school. However, just a few days after the start of the semester, he saw his three roommates decide to hire someone to clean the dormitory, and he stopped worrying about the dormitory's cleanliness.
Since Jiang Yue had said that, Xie Changyu had no more concerns and suddenly felt that the other party did have some merits.
Having successfully received the takeout, Xie Changyu glanced at Jiang Yue's expression as she opened it. Good, he actually managed to hold back.
Because the air conditioning was on, the taste was milder than Xie Changyu had imagined, not as bad. He took a bite of the noodles and showed a very satisfied expression, his eyes crinkling with joy.
After finishing his noodles, Xie Changyu raised his hand to smell the odor on his body... It wasn't very strong, but he still couldn't stand it and needed to take a shower.
He looked at Jiang Yue, who hadn't showered yet, and thought that they had showered together yesterday, so there was no need to shower today. He invited, "Let's shower together, it'll save time."
Thinking about the thorough body search he usually gets when ordering takeout, he said, "It saves us the trouble of checking me. Just check if I'm clean."
Jiang Yue hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
The shower was uneventful. By the time he finished, it was already ten o'clock. Xie Changyu had showered very quickly, and he climbed into bed and lay down immediately.
Eat and then sleep, so comfortable...
