Chapter 61: Drunk Both of them raised their heads and took a sip...
They both tilted their heads back and took a sip of Coke, and their eyes met in tacit understanding.
They stared at each other for a long time, and no one spoke for a while.
In the dim environment, the other person's eyes appear brighter than stars.
The wind by the river should have been cool, but Yu Xiang inexplicably felt that it was getting hotter and hotter, and his heart was beating faster and faster unconsciously.
"Um..." Yu Xiang tried to calm his restless heart while racking his brains for a topic. After a fierce mental struggle, he could only manage one sentence: "Do you want to express your thoughts on coming of age?"
Then he saw Jiang Ci staring at him with an ambiguous expression.
Yu Xiang scratched his face uncomfortably, looking away: "Don't look at me like that. I just can't find a topic to talk about. Who told you not to talk?"
"Let's not talk about my feelings anymore, let's talk about some adult topics." Jiang Ci said lightly.
Yu Xiang turned his gaze back with a look of horror: "???" What do you mean by adult topics?
I didn’t expect you to be such a Jiang Ci!
"You, you should take it easy. You are an adult, but I still..." Yu Xiang was so scared that he stuttered and spoke incoherently.
"What are you thinking?" Jiang Ci wanted to laugh at his reaction, but he held it back. "You're blushing like this, could it be—"
Yu Xiang immediately covered up for himself with full energy: "I didn't!"
Jiang Ci nodded as if understanding: "Then it is."
Yu Xiang then realized that this person was obviously teasing him on purpose, so he became even angrier and turned his face away with an attitude of "I'm angry, you can do whatever you want."
"Are you angry?" Jiang Ci must have moved a little closer, his warm breath touching Yu Xiang's neck.
But Yu Xiang refused to turn his head back.
"Then I was wrong, okay? I apologize to you." Jiang Ci softened his tone again. If Zhang Miao and the others were present and heard these words, they would never believe that such a gentle tone came from Jiang Ci's mouth.
"I don't accept it. I won't accept anything you say." Yu Xiang was resolute and tough for once, vowing not to look back - even if his neck was sore.
"There's a bug on your clothes." This time Jiang Ci's tone became calm again.
"What?! Where?" Yu Xiang's face changed instantly when he heard the insect, and he turned back reflexively. As a result, he met Jiang Ci's eyes that were like deep pools.
He was really close, and if he moved a little closer, they would be face to face.
But Yu Xiang had no time to think about those trivial things at the moment. His mind was full of fear of insects.
"Don't move, I'll help you take it off." Jiang Ci was stunned for a moment, then he took out a pack of tissues from his pocket.
Yu Xiang didn't dare to move: "Hurry up, take it away! What the hell is this a caterpillar???"
"It's just a small moth." Jiang Ci wrapped the moth that had frightened Yu Xiang so much that his face turned pale in paper and crumpled it into a ball. He walked to a nearby trash can and threw it away. Just as he turned around to go back, he found that Yu Xiang had followed him. "What are you doing here?"
Yu Xiang himself didn't know why he came here: "I... uh... take a walk?"
Jiang Ci: "?"
Yu Xiang knew this was a poor excuse, but he still insisted, "Do you want to join us?"
"Okay." Jiang Ci didn't say much and agreed directly, "Go get your things and head home."
"Um."
It takes about 20 minutes to get home this way, which is equivalent to a walk home.
"You seem a little weird tonight. Do you have something to say?" Jiang Ci slowed down his pace and took the initiative to bring up the topic.
"No." Yu Xiang bit his lip lightly and answered dryly, "I think I'm normal."
Actually, no. For some reason, his heart was beating very fast, and his body was also hot - the kind of heat that came from the inside out.
Was that Coke I just drank? Not some fake drink? Why is this happening?
Yu Xiang thought inwardly, feeling extremely devastated.
"If you say no, then there's no more." Jiang Ci didn't ask further questions, but changed the subject. "Actually, the adult topic I just mentioned was to ask you some questions."
Yu Xiang looked at him suspiciously: "What's the problem?"
"Questions about future partners."
"Why are you asking this for no reason?" Yu Xiang's breathing became tight, but he still pretended to be calm and spoke.
"Just checking if you might fall in love with my cousin." Jiang Ci said nonsense seriously.
"What the hell? You mean Jiang Yuting?" Yu Xiang's forehead was filled with question marks. "Are you afraid that I'll steal your cabbage?"
He just said it but then felt something was wrong and quickly added: "I didn't mean to say I was a pig."
Jiang Ci saw all of this and couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.
"Stop laughing, the fuck!" Yu Xiang said angrily. "Aren't you usually very good at controlling your facial expressions? Hold it in."
"Okay, hold it in, and continue."
Yu Xiang approached, and after confirming three times that Jiang Ci had indeed stopped laughing, he said with confidence, "First of all, I won't like Jiang Yuting. She's totally not my type. Secondly... there's no second. Anyway, it's like this. There's no possibility for her and me. You can rest assured."
Jiang Ci followed up on his words and asked, "So what kind do you like?"
"I like..." Yu Xiang almost blurted out "you", but luckily he reacted in time and changed the rest of the words, "I don't like ugly ones. After all, I am pretty myself."
Jiang Ci nodded in agreement: "Very self-aware. What else?"
“Not too short.”
"Um."
"You need to have long legs, be good at studying, and your skin shouldn't be too dark, at least not darker than mine."
“That’s a lot of requirements.”
"What's the matter?"
"It's okay, just continue."
Yu Xiang rambled on for a long time, and Jiang Ci listened attentively. He concluded, "According to your standards, it will probably be difficult to find a partner."
"It doesn't matter." Yu Xiang spread his hands directly. "Besides, your requirements should only be higher than mine, not lower, right?"
"Do you want to know?"
"Tell me about it." Yu Xiang was nervous and excited, but he still tried to maintain a calm tone, "Let me taste it."
"The legs need to be long."
Yu Xiang: “…” I thought this person was going to make some earth-shattering request, but this is the result?
Jiang Ci automatically blocked out Yu Xiang's disdainful gaze and continued, "He doesn't need to be too smart, and he doesn't have to be a good student..."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Yu Xiang interrupted him, "It suddenly occurred to me, do you already have someone you like?"
"Yeah." Jiang Ci admitted frankly.
"You refused to tell me last time, what about now?"
"Still can't."
As soon as Jiang Ci said this, a look of disappointment clearly appeared on Yu Xiang's face.
"But I can tell you what kind of person he is." Jiang Ci paused, then continued, "Or, you can ask me a question."
Yu Xiang's gloomy expression brightened up when he heard this. He struggled for a moment, finally uttering only one sentence: "Do she have long legs?"
"It's quite long."
"Long hair or short hair?"
"short."
"Is she pretty?"
“It’s very beautiful.”
"From our school?"
"Um."
"Then one last question." Yu Xiang took a deep breath. "What do you like about her? Is it just her appearance that meets your requirements?"
"No." Jiang Ci gave a negative answer without hesitation, "I like him as a whole person, it has nothing to do with his appearance."
"What if she's ugly and fat? Would you still like her?"
"Yes." Jiang Ci answered seriously and firmly, without any hesitation.
"But this answer is based on the fact that she is very beautiful. Even if you say so, it is difficult to prove it—"
"I've seen him cry ugly."
Yu Xiang: “…”
Jiang Ci continued: "But I still like him very much."
Yu Xiang hissed, "This... then what was going through your mind at that time?"
"I feel so bad, I want to hug him."
He really answers every question.
Yu Xiang narrowed his eyes with mixed emotions and commented, "Then this girl is quite lucky. You didn't dislike her even when she was at her ugliest."
"Do you have any other questions?" Jiang Ci asked.
"One last question, when do you plan to confess your feelings to her?" Yu Xiang asked, clenching his fists.
"I think I've already confessed it." Jiang Ci replied calmly.
“???”
Yu Xiang's eyes widened: "S-So she refused?"
"No. He probably didn't hear it." Jiang Ci shook his head.
"Didn't you get it? How cryptic are you being?... Did you just draw her a graph of a function, and she can't figure it out because of her math skills?"
"No. But his math skills are really not that good, so I won't express my feelings in this way." Jiang Ci curled his lips and said, "I don't want him to know yet."
"Oh...you're worried about disrupting my studies, right?"
"Yeah. I'm also afraid that she doesn't like me, so it's a psychological burden."
"Who wouldn't like you?" Yu Xiang asked subconsciously.
"Stretch out your hand." Jiang Ci suddenly stopped and half turned to face him.
"What are you doing?" Yu Xiang felt confused, but still stretched out his right hand towards Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci stretched out his left hand, took the hand that Yu Xiang extended, then raised his eyes and looked at him: "What does it feel like?"
Yu Xiang was confused: "I don't feel anything."
"How about this?" Jiang Ci inserted his slender fingers into Yu Xiang's fingers and interlocked theirs.
Yu Xiang finally sensed something was amiss. "It's a bit ambiguous, isn't it? What exactly are you trying to do?"
There has to be a limit when using him for experiments!
Yu Xiang began to panic internally - he actually enjoyed it a bit, but he also knew that Jiang Ci probably just wanted to prove something to him through practice, such as why that person didn't like him.
"What do you think our relationship is?" Jiang Ci asked again.
"Friends? Brothers...right?"
"So what are you thinking when I hold your hand now?"
"What do you think?" Yu Xiang's mind was a mess. He thought to himself, "I don't have simple feelings for you. How do you want me to answer?"
But Jiang Ci's point was probably about how he would react if they were just friends. So Yu Xiang thought about it and stammered, "What's wrong with you?"
"Just that?"
Yu Xiang appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was already in turmoil: "..." Then what else do you want from me! Isn't that enough, big brother?
