Chapter 17 My Heart Is Beating Fast
Chapter 17
When did Yan and Su come back???
Wen Xi stared at the time with wide eyes. It was 9:00 p.m. and there were still twenty minutes until the end of the exam.
Yan and Su actually handed in their papers half an hour early!
Wen Xi's body was restless and hot, as if a ball of inexplicable fire was burning in his body, baking every inch of his skin exposed to the cold air. He looked at the tall figure in front of him who looked very much like Yan Jue, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
Yan and Su were right in front of him, only three meters away. Wen Xi was so absorbed in his roommate's uncle's boxing performance, or perhaps he was mesmerized by the guest's masculine beauty, that he was so tense that he didn't hear a single sound.
Yan and Su were separated by an unlocked frosted glass door, and behind the door was Wen Xi, who was wearing a sexy red dress. Further inside was Yan's uncle, who was shirtless and video chatting with Wen Xi, who was dressed as a woman.
Wen Xi hurriedly turned around to look at the phone on the bathing table, and met Yan Jue's long and deep black eyes. The man's upper eye sockets were slightly sunken, and the ceiling light cast a shadow on his eyes through his brows.
Their eyes met, Yan Jue raised his eyebrows, with the hormonal attack that had not yet subsided after the intense exercise. The situation was critical, and Wen Xi actually tasted some evil spirit, but before Wen Xi could see clearly, it disappeared without a trace.
Yan Jue raised his hand and put a finger between his lips, nodded comfortingly, then turned sideways to avoid the camera, leaving a blank space.
In this way, even if Wen Xi was found wearing women's clothes, Yan and Su would not know that his roommate was having a video call with his uncle.
There was only a two-second gap between the first knock on the door.
“Bang, bang, bang.”
The crisp knock on the door suddenly rang out again, hitting Wen Xi's tense nerves again and again, accompanied by the click of the hand holding the door handle.
At this moment, Wen Xi's heartbeat and breathing were almost uncontrollable. He rushed forward and pressed the glass door. He blinked in panic. The door was opened a little bit, and the familiar outline of his roommate was within reach. Wen Xi could even smell the perfume that Yan and Su Guan often used through this small gap.
"It's me. I'm taking a shower."
Because of excessive tension, Wen Xi's throat became tight and his voice became weak and soft, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a tremor of fear.
The movement of opening the door suddenly stopped.
Wen Xi couldn't help but curl his fingers that were pressing on the frosted glass door, his fingertips turned white with nervousness. He swallowed his saliva, pretended to be calm, and said casually: "You handed in the test paper so early, I'm just taking a shower, you wait a while."
Wen Xi heard the other party let go of the door handle.
"Oh." Yan Hesu's voice sounded calm and natural. "The test wasn't difficult. I handed it in after I finished it. I thought Ning Haoyu didn't turn off the lights when he left."
"I don't need the bathroom, you take a shower."
The reflection on the door became smaller and my roommate took a step back.
Wenxi pushed hard with his fingers and closed the glass door again.
Click, and the lock cylinder pops out.
Although he knew that no one would break in again, Wen Xi still locked the door. In order to hide his identity, he even turned on the shower, put the bathroom heater in an empty bucket, and pretended to be taking a shower by making a running sound.
After doing all this, Wen Xi found that his hands were shaking badly. He supported himself on the bathing table with both hands, and his body trembled slightly due to excessive tension and relaxation.
Excessive fear, excitement, and even the joy of escaping all mixed together into an airtight net that enveloped Wen Xi and swallowed him up. His brain crashed, his mind went blank, and he was unable to handle this peak emotion, causing his body to go limp.
My sensory acuity is on track again. The bathroom is both too quiet and too noisy.
The rustling sound of splashing water and Wen Xi's rapid breathing intertwined together and were transmitted through sophisticated technology to the third person in the entire dormitory who was thousands of miles away.
That was a close call.
It was almost discovered.
"Wenxi, are you okay?"
Yan Jue's low and hoarse voice sounded, and was transmitted to Wen Xi along with the sound of water and the sound of roommates playing games outside the house.
This sentence was like a power-on command, making Wen Xi's confused mind start to work. His absent-minded eyes began to regain clarity after hearing the man's concerned words. Wen Xi hummed blankly to show that he was listening, then raised his eyes to look at the mirror in front of him.
Wen Xi was stunned when he saw his current appearance.
Unlike what one would imagine, where his face turned pale from fright, his entire body was now almost completely red, with the ends of his eyes and the tip of his nose all red beyond recognition. He was not wearing any makeup but looked even more red with it on. His lips were bitten with water from excessive nervousness, and his exposed shoulders were a different shade of pink, a healthy and plump flesh-pink color.
The butterfly at the collarbone rises and falls.
For the first time, Wen Xi intuitively felt the spring feeling that the protagonist in the story was experiencing in himself.
His eyes sparkled, as if he had drunk fake wine. Wen Xi's nose twitched, wondering: Why is he behaving like this? Shouldn't he be afraid?
Why does he look like he's enjoying the excitement?
"Wenxi."
The voice of Yan Jue came again, and Wen Xi tilted his head to look at the mobile phone screen beside him.
The crisis disappeared, and Yan Jue appeared in the camera again, now wearing a black T-shirt. What surprised Wen Xi even more was that the man wore the frameless gold-rimmed glasses again. This was the second time she saw Yan Jue wearing glasses, except for the first time. It was placed on the man's tall nose, and the lenses reflected light slightly, blocking most of the wildness and desire from his eyes.
"Are you okay?" Yan Jue asked with his eyes downcast.
Wen Xi's eyes drifted uncontrollably to the mirror behind the phone. She pursed her lips helplessly and said in a low voice, "Not bad."
"Why are you so nervous?" Yan Jue brought the phone closer and expressed his doubts to Wen Xi in a soothing tone: "Didn't you tell your roommate that you were trying on a miniskirt?"
Wen Xi's pupils dilated a little, and his breathing became rapid again: "No."
Perhaps realizing that her reaction was a bit too extreme, Wen Xi took a breath and whispered, "They teased me to wear a skirt, but I refused. I bought the skirt secretly. They have an exam today, and I wanted to try it on quickly during this time, but I didn't know I would be back so early."
"Is that so?" Yan Jue looked at him without blinking. Wen Xi's eyelids twitched, and she felt panicked that Yan Jue was about to ask why he bought the skirt.
He bit his lip, completely unaware that he was very close to the camera. The small mole on the tip of his nose was looking at the screen coquettishly, and the butterfly on his collarbone was chasing the small mole up and down.
Wen Xi pinched her fingers and looked at the man on the small screen with her eyes downcast: "They don't know that I work in Niye, and they don't know that I wear a short skirt."
"I only wore it for you."
"Brother, do you want others to see me wearing a skirt?"
After hearing Wen Xi's question, or rather, his flirting words, Yan Jue's throat rolled violently, his conspicuous little mole rose and fell, and the man snorted through his nose.
The highly transparent lenses refracted the light from the headlights, creating a blue flash. Through the two barriers of the screen and the eyes, Wen Xi captured the emotion of possessiveness, which was glaring and unconcealed.
Yan Jue frowned and said slowly, "What do you think?"
"Wenxi."
The sound of running water in the bathroom, mixed with the different frequencies and depths of breathing of the two people, Wen Xi couldn't help but pinch the cold porcelain bathing counter with her fingers to calm herself down. Her slender fingertips were pink as she rubbed the countertop helplessly.
"I don't think you want to," Wen Xi didn't know where she got the courage from, and bluntly stated a fact that both of them knew very well, "You are the only one who has seen me wearing a skirt, and this is your exclusive privilege."
"Am I right? Banquet decision."
Their eyes met, and their gazes collided on the small screen of the mobile phone across thousands of miles.
Yan Jue's eyes were pure black as he stared straight at Wen Xi. His tone was both praise and encouragement. He spoke word by word, "Great, baby."
Wen Xi's pupils dilated instantly and he gasped, unable to bear the feeling. He raised his hand to flip the camera, trying to block the line of sight. In his panic, he forgot that the wider and brighter mirror on the back of the phone could still reflect himself and allow Yan Jue to see his current appearance.
The man snorted and chuckled. Wen Xi opened her lips, and finally, in a panic, she took the phone off the stand, covered the camera lens, and pressed it against her chest.
His lower back felt weak, his body felt hot, and his exposed skin seemed to be scorched by fire. Wen Xi felt that the air in the bathroom was no longer flowing. He looked blankly at the bathroom heater. The water was clearly set to cold, so why was the temperature in the room rising?
Wen Xi leaned against the cool tile wall, trying to suppress the unreasonable heat by absorbing the coolness of the wall.
His eyes fell vaguely on his bent right leg, where there was a pure black leather leg ring. Due to the long-term restraint, the fair skin around the belt had obvious red marks.
"Your heart is beating so fast, Wenxi."
Wen Xi suddenly came back to his senses and took the phone away from his heart. He was actually a little distracted. He stared blankly at Yan Jue. Yan Jue raised his hand. The distinct joints were red and swollen from the boxing, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging, which was sexy in a different way from himself.
Yan Jue's action seemed to be touching the screen, which seemed to be a kind of comfort, but it seemed to have other meanings.
Wen Xi couldn't figure out the other party's intention, but that didn't stop him from feeling a sudden tingling sensation on his spine.
However, the screen on Wenxi's side was clearly pitch black and Yan Jue could not see anything.
He breathed in a hurry, and the sound of water splashing could be heard on the other side.
Yan Jue lowered his eyes, the small mole on his throat rolling, and continued, "It's also very beautiful."
Wen Xi's brain was overloaded now, and he didn't know what to say, so he subconsciously replied, "Thank you."
"Are you scared?"
“A little.”
"Feel sorry."
Wen Xi shook her head: "It doesn't matter."
Yan Jue smiled at him and said, "Remember to change your clothes before going out. I'll call you later, okay?"
"What are you going to do?" Wen Xi asked subconsciously.
"Me too," Yan Jue paused, his throat rolling, and continued, "I'm going to take a shower."
Wen Xi said "oh", his ears were a little hot, waiting for the other party to hang up the video. But Yan Jue did not move immediately, but looked at him steadily, quietly, and called Wen Xi again.
"Hmm?" Wen Xi accidentally moved his hand that was blocking the rear camera away, and his face appeared on the screen again. The shy boy reflected in the mirror appeared in Yan Jue's sight thousands of miles away.
Wen Xi saw it, but he did not cover it up. Instead, he lowered his eyes to look at Yan Jue and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with brother?"
"Wenxi."
"Um."
"The water is overflowing."
Wen Xi looked at the bucket when he heard it. It was full and about to overflow. He raised his hand to close it. He felt that Yan Jue's reminder was so coincidental. When he lowered his head again, the man's figure was no longer on the screen.
[The video has ended]
The sound of his roommate winning the game came from outside the door. Wen Xi looked at the screen and was stunned for a moment.
【Call duration: 52:10】
The fingers holding the phone tightened, breathing like butterflies, Wen Xi let out a long breath hidden in his heart.
Damn it.
