Song Baiyi twirled the note on the receipt with his fingers, his eyes lingering on the word "handsome guy" for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Cheng Zhi and asked with a half-smile: "Order takeout?"
Cheng Zhi shook his head in confusion and nodded again. Facing Song Baiyi, his voice was a little weak.
"I...ordered very little."
Song Baiyi hummed, "That's it."
As he spoke, he took a step forward, getting closer and closer to Cheng Zhi, until the two were no more than a fist away from each other.
Cheng Zhi stood still, the bag in his hand being pulled louder and louder. He could feel the scent of Song Baiyi approaching him. This time it was a mixture of mint, woody scent and a little bit of alcohol. They were harmonious and not conflicting. He liked it very much.
Just when Cheng Zhi was about to get sick of the scent of Song Baiyi, he felt his fingers being gently stroked.
A warm breath spread on his neck, and his ears felt a little hot. If he tilted his head slightly, he could see Song Baiyi's Adam's apple rolling slightly.
Then he saw Song Baiyi's Adam's apple tremble twice, and a gentle and low voice fell into his ears, the tone was like coaxing, "Confiscate it."
Then, Cheng Zhi felt that the plastic bag in his hand was being pulled by Song Baiyi on the other side, and he had no intention of letting go.
Even though he was nearly drowned in Song Baiyi's breath, Cheng Zhi tried hard to keep the last bit of his rationality and defended the packaging bag in his hand, which represented hope and the barbecue supper for the whole team.
He stepped back, holding the package bag even tighter, as if he was refusing to let go.
Song Baiyi was still communicating with Cheng Zhi patiently, "Be obedient and let go."
The word "obedient" entered Cheng Zhi's head, making him numb for ten seconds. However, the strength in his hands showed no sign of weakening. Instead, he pulled harder and harder, and refused to give the packaging bag to Song Baiyi.
The two men were in a stalemate for a while, and seeing that Song Baiyi still had no intention of letting go, Cheng Zhi decided to adopt a new tactic.
His tone was a little soft, and even he himself didn't realize that there was a hint of coquettishness in it, "Teacher Song...how about giving me a chance?"
Hearing Cheng Zhi's words, Song Baiyi chuckled, loosened his hand that was pulling the packaging bag, and lowered his eyes to look at the person in front of him.
When she got closer just now, Song Baiyi could still smell the fragrance of the shower gel on his body. It was very light, but smelled a little alluring.
From his point of view, Cheng Zhi had just finished taking a shower, and his hair was still wet, looking soft and sticking to Cheng Zhi's face. He looked very well behaved, with bright eyes, and was looking at him eagerly.
Song Baiyi moved his eyes downward and saw Cheng Zhi's slender collarbone. Perhaps because he had just exercised, the collarbone looked a little red. The neckline of his white T-shirt was wide, and the exposed skin was a little dazzling to Song Baiyi.
Cheng Zhi's coquettish words just now successfully persuaded Song Baiyi.
The next second, he silently withdrew his gaze, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and his tone still left no room for negotiation.
"No."
Cheng Zhi's expression suddenly became more aggrieved, and his eyes were a little moist. He didn't even realize that this time he was acting like a spoiled child, "Not even once?"
Song Baiyi's heart itched after hearing Cheng Zhi act like a spoiled child again, but he still didn't express it openly. He hummed and continued, "Give me a reason to give you a chance."
Cheng Zhi bit his lower lip, and the plastic bag in his hand rattled as he pulled it. Based on the principle of not wanting to sell out his teammates, he spoke carefully.
"I'm hungry. Teacher Song, can you give me a chance? I won't dare to do it again next time..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Zhi's stomach cooperated and made a "gurgling" sound.
At this moment, both of them were silent.
Seeing that Song Baiyi didn't respond, Cheng Zhi tilted his head slightly and continued to ask: "For this reason, can you give me a chance?"
Song Baiyi laughed, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "Didn't you have enough for dinner?"
Cheng Zhi touched his nose guiltily and answered honestly: "I didn't have dinner..."
When he came out of the tutor's lounge, Cheng Zhi felt very upset. He had no appetite to begin with, so he decided to just take a walk around to relax. When he returned to the cafeteria, it had already been cleaned up and there was nothing for him to eat.
Cheng Zhi didn't have much appetite to begin with, and since he wasn't very hungry, he went back to the dormitory.
And now, he hasn't eaten for eight hours. When the feeling of hunger came over him, Cheng Zhi was a little overwhelmed. His legs felt a little weak, and he felt weak when he spoke.
Seeing his look, Song Baiyi sighed softly and stopped trying to confiscate his takeaway.
He changed the subject and continued to ask Cheng Zhi, "Why don't you eat?"
Cheng Zhi lowered his head, avoiding Song Baiyi's gaze, "Because I'm not very happy today."
Song Baiyi hesitated for a moment, "You won the competition today, but you're not happy?"
Cheng Zhi didn't say anything, but his grip on the plastic bag was slowly tightening. Song Baiyi heard the dissatisfaction in his mood and began to smooth things over.
Song Baiyi lowered his eyes, stretched out his hand and tugged at Cheng Zhi's collar, helping him pull his collar up, and then slowly withdrew his hand. He looked at Cheng Zhi's skin that had just been exposed and was covered, and then he slowly spoke.
"Just now in the lounge, the director was in a hurry to find me, so I didn't have time to say anything."
Song Baiyi's fingers brushed across Cheng Zhi's neck. The warm fingers brought a sense of warmth across his neck. The part of Cheng Zhi's neck that had just been a little cold due to the wind instantly became warm because of Song Baiyi's temperature.
When Cheng Zhi heard Song Baiyi mention the tutor's lounge, under the dual stimulation of words and actions, he was a little confused. He hummed lightly and waited for him to continue.
"Whether it's pressure, or because you're not happy with your performance today, or something else, I'm not sure why you're unhappy today."
Song Baiyi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, Cheng Zhi's look imprinted in his pupils, and his tone was gentle.
"But I am very satisfied with your performance on stage today."
The next second, Cheng Zhi heard Song Baiyi softly calling his name.
"You can be happy today."
Cheng Zhi's heart stopped for a moment after hearing Song Baiyi's affirmation, and was replaced by a sour feeling filled with joy. His hand that was clenched in the plastic bag also relaxed slightly.
The child who performed hard just got the reward he wanted most.
When Cheng Zhi returned to the dormitory, the other three teammates were reprimanding Le Zhu's behavior.
"You just left Cheng Zhi and ran away?"
"That's too much. That's really too much. Cheng Zhi is so good to you. How could you sell out your teammates?"
"When you ran out, did you see Cheng Zhi coming out with you? He hasn't come back for so long, he might have been caught by the security guards..."
The teammates didn't notice Cheng Zhi standing at the door at all until he leaned against the door and coughed twice, shaking the plastic bag in his hand and making some noise. Then they looked over in the direction of the sound.
Lu Yinbai said in surprise: "Wow~ our Shao... ah no, Cheng Zhi is back."
Cheng Zhi raised his eyebrows, walked around his four teammates, and placed the intact barbecue on the table.
Chen You stepped forward before everyone else and asked with concern, "Are you okay? I heard from Le Zhu that you met the security guards?"
Cheng Zhi rubbed Chen You's head. Chen You had just washed her hair, so it felt soft and fluffy. He couldn't help but rub it for a while before answering Chen You's question.
"I ran fast and was not caught by the security guards, don't worry."
Chen You let Cheng Zhi rub his head without dodging, and continued to ask: "Then why did you take so long to come back? We have already scolded Le Zhu."
"Well." Cheng Zhi pulled the corner of his mouth, his mind was full of the words Song Baiyi had just said to him, and he made an excuse: "I ran too far and got lost, and then I took a detour to come back. I kept you waiting for a long time, sorry."
"Is that so? That's good..." Hearing this, Chen You breathed a sigh of relief.
After hearing that Cheng Zhi was fine, Le Zhu was the first to come forward and confess his guilt.
Le Zhu looked guilty, "I'm sorry, I was so irresponsible at that time. I took you there, but I heard the security guard's voice and left you behind. I'm sorry again..."
Cheng Zhi himself didn't take the fact that Le Zhu left him and ran away to heart. To be honest, if he had to argue about right and wrong, Cheng Zhi should be thankful that Le Zhu ran away alone.
Leaving him and Song Baiyi a chance to be alone together.
When Cheng Zhi was in a good mood, his eyebrows and eyes curved when he smiled, "It's okay, let's eat the barbecue quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Le Zhu, who had been prepared to be scolded again, was stunned and uttered an "ah", not understanding what Cheng Zhi meant, "Aren't you angry?"
Cheng Zhi lowered his head, opened the barbecue packaging bag, and took out his portion of grilled squid.
He had been hungry for a long time and now felt dizzy at the smell of barbecue. He was too lazy to talk nonsense with Le Zhu. He lowered his head, took a bite, and then asked Le Zhu.
"Why am I angry?"
I'm so happy that I don't have time to express it, Cheng Zhi thought as he ate.
Le Zhu: “…”
When Le Zhu saw Cheng Zhi eating the barbecue as if nothing had happened, he was sure that Cheng Zhi was serious, not angry, and really hungry.
At this point, he breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "It's okay..."
After saying that, he gave half of his barbecue to Cheng Zhi.
"Whether you're angry or not, I still feel guilty. Just consider this as my apology to you, okay?"
Cheng Zhi looked at the barbecue that Le Zhu handed over. There were all kinds of barbecue, such as grilled sausage, grilled gluten, beef skewers, mutton skewers, chicken skewers, and palm treasures...
After he swallowed the squid in his mouth, he thought for a moment and took the barbecue handed to him by Le Zhu.
"Thank you."
The next morning, Cheng Zhi was woken up by Chen You.
"Cheng Zhi, get up. The program team is organizing us to go to the hospital for a physical examination. If you don't get up now, you will miss the bus."
When Cheng Zhi got up from the bed, his head was completely foggy. His stomach felt as if it had been thrown on the street, run over by a large truck two hundred times, and then punched by eighteen big men. It was throbbing with pain.
Seeing that Cheng Zhi looked very bad, with an unnatural blush on his pale face, Shen You asked anxiously, "Why is your face so red? Are you sick?"
Cheng Zhi was also confused. He walked from the bed to the floor without wearing slippers. When he touched the cold ground, his whole body shivered with cold.
Just as Shen You was about to help, Cheng Zhi pushed her away.
"I'm fine. Just go wash up. Wait for me... five minutes."
After saying that, Cheng Zhi staggered towards the bathroom.
There were only two of them in the dormitory. Chen You looked at Cheng Zhi's uncomfortable look and walked around anxiously. After a moment, he picked up his mobile phone and called Le Zhu without thinking.
At this time, Le Zhu had just finished breakfast and was about to go to the meeting place with Lu Yinbai when he suddenly felt the cell phone in his pocket vibrating.
He was startled and took Lu Yinbai to a corner before answering the call from Chen You.
"Huh? Cheng Zhi is feeling unwell? Then shall I go and tell the staff to send him to the infirmary now?"
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I'll go find the staff soon..."
After hanging up the phone, Le Zhu ran all the way to the gathering place. He looked around but didn't see any staff members. There were only a few tutors standing together chatting.
Le Zhu gritted his teeth and called out a mentor who looked friendly and would not leak information to others.
Tina yawned and wiped away the tears that came from yawning, "What's the matter? Why did you call me out?"
Le Zhu told Tina the whole story. She nodded, thought for a while, and then comforted Le Zhu and told her not to worry.
The next second, Tina looked at the tutors who were standing together chatting, and then shouted to Song Baiyi.
"Hey - Teacher Song! Cheng Zhi seems to be unwell, should we go and take care of him -"
