Chapter 33 The Person I Like
forum--
1135L: Oh my god!!! Why did my couple break up after just one winter break?! Why! Why!!!
1138L: It turns out I’m not the only one who thinks so. Everyone seems to have noticed it. Oh, the collapse of the house is confirmed.
1140L: No, there was no collapse. I saw Li Shen and Che Ge squeezing into the cafeteria together at noon.
1141L: Yes, they are squeezed into the cafeteria together, but each person orders his own dish and eats his own food. There is also a bright light bulb next to them. Three people are eating together while looking at their mobile phones. Why don’t they just order takeout? Why eat in the cafeteria?
1143L: Li Shen never used his phone when he and Che Che were having dinner together, and he never brought anyone else with him. Now, not only did he bring another boy with him, but he also had absolutely no conversation with Che Che the entire time. He was constantly looking at his phone! I wonder which little vixen across the table was trying to flirt with him!
1147L: That light bulb must be their roommate, he is pretty handsome too. I have seen his live broadcast on BTV, it is very funny. Last time he even complained about his rich second generation roommate.
1149L: Hahahaha, I watched that video too, it’s so real, about rich people living in dormitories.
1153L: Why did Li Shen give away shoes worth 20,000 or 30,000 yuan just for free? Is he so generous to everyone? Then his love for Che Ge is completely brotherly.
1155L: On the first day of school, many people saw Lin Ximan and Li Shen walking together. I wonder if my idol is really won over by Lin Ximan.
1158L: Isn't Li Shen gay? Why is he with Lin Ximan? How does Lin Ximan get to know so many handsome guys?
1161L: The news of the collapse of the house is confirmed. It was clearly Brother Che and Li Shen who reported to school together on the first day of school, but then Brother Che left alone, leaving Li Shen and Lin Ximan alone.
1164L: What on earth happened during this winter vacation! My senior added Li Shen on WeChat and saw that he actually posted a photo of himself on the top of a mountain on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Why would he go to such a remote place?
1168L: It's really weird. In the past, Li Shen's Moments were all about him visiting exhibitions or playing with cats and dogs, so why did he suddenly post a photo of a mountain with no one in the photo on the first day of the Lunar New Year, without any text!
1172L: Has any of the sisters figured out where the photo was taken?
1174L: Where is the OP’s sister? Please give me some information.
1178L (Original Poster):
There is no house collapse yet, but there is indeed very little interaction.
In the afternoon class, I sat not far from them. The two of them sat together, but a fat man could squeeze in between them. They didn't say a word during the class. I felt that the atmosphere between them was very strange. It didn't seem like they were angry with each other, but just a simple "I have to endure it and can't talk to him" feeling.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Shen did post that strange photo. The comments below were all "What's wrong?", and Li Shen didn't reply to any of them. I don't know what he meant. However, according to my good friend's squad leader, the place was probably some remote mountainous area in the neighboring province. Li Shen was probably there to collect folk songs. The artist's ingenuity is beyond the comprehension of mortals.
Li Shen doesn't live in the dorms anymore, so I don't know if they've had any contact outside of school. Also, the girl that Che Ge heroically saved last time has been very attentive to him lately.
1181L: Oh my god, isn't this a house-break? Both of the hottest boys in school are about to have boyfriends, and I'm still single.
1183L: I think Brother Che doesn’t like soft girls. I think Brother Che likes cool girls, probably the kind that wear motorcycle leather jackets.
1184L: Okay, let’s go get a leather jacket tonight.
1186L: The house is about to collapse, and you are still wearing leather jackets.
1190L: No smugness! Absolutely not! I saw Li Shen staring at Che Che! His eyes were even fiercer than before! Absolutely no smugness! And during winter break, they both worked at the same bar! I went there several times! Che sold alcohol! Li Shen sold his craft!
1193L: Right, right, right! Why hasn't anyone mentioned this? Why is Li Shen, a wealthy man with no idea how many generations of wealth, going to a bar to sell his skills? And playing electronic music! Isn't he a classical musician?
1195L: The above comment is too narrow-minded. Li Shen specializes in cello, but he's also played bass, drums, piano, and violin. He was trained entirely as an artist, and at 16, he received offers from several prestigious universities abroad.
1197L: He definitely has flaws! He has shortcomings! Every human being has them!
1198L: Could the disadvantage be sexual orientation?
1201L: Is the person above from the 80s? He still thinks homosexuality is a disease? (I hope he is gay. No woman is worthy of such a perfect man.)
1204L: It feels like their relationship was weird from the moment they started at the bar. At first, Li Shen was waiting for Che Ge at the door, but later, there were too many people trying to chat him up, so he bought a booth at the edge and waited. During that time, Che Ge ignored him much, and Li Shen even rode a bicycle back with him.
Later, the bar was short of people, so Li Shen took over. My brother said he had never seen that bar so popular. Li Shen went there three times, and even now people still go there to wait for him.
1206L: It turns out that this is also how Li Shen pursues people. He has to provide meals, pick-up and drop-off, and you have to be thick-skinned.
......
"It's my birthday this weekend, and I've booked a package at the B&B Club in the university town. Can you guys come with me?"
While eating in the cafeteria on Friday, Yang Mingxi finally plucked up the courage to make an invitation.
This birthday party was in the form of semi-sponsored hosting. The homestay had just opened and approached him for paid promotion. Yang Mingxi had recommended it several times in the live broadcast room, but with little success. So he thought of taking everyone there to play during this birthday party, and the homestay could offer a 50% discount.
Li Zimai raised his eyes to look at Cheng Che, as if waiting for his answer.
Cheng Che declined, "I have something to do this weekend, so I might not have time. Happy birthday to you."
Li Zimai put down his chopsticks and said calmly, "Sorry, I have something to do too. I wish you a happy birthday in advance."
Yang Mingxi wanted to cry but had no tears. He actually wanted to take this opportunity to ease the relationship between his two roommates.
Half a month after school started, he had completely become cannon fodder for both of them. They had to take him with them wherever they went, but they didn't talk to him and didn't allow him to talk. They just watched the two of them quarreling, which was unbearable for anyone.
The most important thing is that Li Shen always bribed him privately, asking him to help Cheng Che do this and that, saying that he was inconvenient. Yang Mingxi complained in his heart countless times: Why did you two drag me into your quarrel? Don’t I have anything to do?
"No, I've already told my friends that my roommate will be coming, and this package only works with eight people. I had a hard time getting enough people together."
"Brother Che, you know I'm such a homebody, I don't have many friends... I finally have a birthday..."
Cheng Che compromised, "When?"
"Saturday evening at 7pm, Shanlinjian, Xueyuan Road, University Town! I'll send the specific address to the group! See you there! I have to leave first! See you tomorrow!"
Yang Mingxi ran away with his plate, as if he was afraid that Cheng Che would go back on his word. It was dinner time, and his seat was vacant, so someone immediately filled it. Li Zimai moved aside to make room for the person who came.
The boy was from another school. He was trying to get close to Li Zimai during the meal. His chopsticks were of different lengths, and his cuffs were several centimeters apart, so they didn't match at all. But he kept waving the asymmetrical chopsticks in front of Li Zimai with his asymmetrical hand.
Seeing him tilt his head slightly, pursed his lips and showing a patient expression, Cheng Che interrupted the boy's chatter, picked up the plate and gestured towards Li Zimai. Li Zimai politely apologized and followed Cheng Che away.
After leaving the cafeteria, Cheng Che said in a bad tone, "If you can't stand it, why don't you leave?"
"No one else did anything wrong. It's my problem, and you didn't finish your meal."
He rarely affects others because of his obsessive-compulsive disorder, and will only make some suggestions if he really can't stand it.
Cheng Che had no idea that a boy could be so polite and well-mannered. He hated his own wavering attitude and temper that could explode at any time.
"where did you go?"
Seeing that he was about to leave again, Li Zimai couldn't help but ask, "Do you have to treat me like this? I'm not trying to pester you, why do you treat me like this?"
Except hiding from me, hiding from me.
His tone was filled with a hint of grievance and unwillingness, as if he wanted to vent all the patience he had endured for the past half month. "I said I'll give you time to think it over. Before this, can't we just get along like friends? Why do you keep avoiding me?"
Cheng Che fell silent, his head lowered. Li Zimai couldn't see his expression, but he could probably guess that he was starting to feel conflicted and self-blame again. Li Zimai still couldn't bear to push him, so he softened his tone, "Cheche, can you think a little more open-mindedly? Divorce can always be remarried. We're not even dating yet, so why can't we be friends?"
Cheng Che whispered, "Is there anyone who describes it like that?"
Li Zimai breathed a sigh of relief and added, "I still want to divorce you. At least I've been married before."
Cheng Che murmured, "...I won't get married."
"That..."
"Cheng Che, are you guys coming to the cafeteria to eat too? Have you eaten yet?"
Someone interrupted their conversation inappropriately. Li Zimai's eyes darkened and his mouth was pursed into a straight line, a rare expression of displeasure.
Jiang Xiaoqing walked in and realized that the atmosphere was not right. She said awkwardly: "No... Sorry, I didn't know you were talking about..."
Cheng Che glanced at Li Zimai, then said to Jiang Xiaoqing, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Xiaoqing said stubbornly, "I followed the link I sent you yesterday, but it still doesn't work. Do you have time to go to the professional classroom and help me? Linlin has also encountered this problem."
"when."
"Do you have time later? We are all in the studio."
Jiang Xiaoqing lowered her head, she could feel the burning gaze above her head.
Cheng Che agreed, and before leaving, he asked Li Zimai, "...Do you want to go with us?"
He noticed Li Zimai's emotions and even wanted to let the other party misunderstand him, but when he saw Li Zimai's slightly lowered eyes, he couldn't bear it.
Li Zimai had no expression on his face. He put his hands in his pockets and casually took out his phone to take a look. He said in a cold tone, "I'm not going."
Cheng Che said "Oh" and said nothing more.
Jiang Xiaoqing is almost a head shorter than Cheng Che. She is petite, speaks softly, and is very caring. Although she is not stunning in appearance, she has a clean and comfortable temperament. She is the kind of southern girl that all straight men like.
"Clear."
Li Zimai suddenly called out to him, his tone full of frustration and helplessness, "If you are in a relationship, remember to tell me, don't hide from me."
Cheng Che paused without looking back.
Jiang Xiaoqing asked in a low voice: "...Did you have a conflict with Li Shen?"
"No."
Along the way, Cheng Che didn't say much. He saw Li Zimai's circle of friends on his mobile phone. It turned out that Li Zimai went to Xiao Penglai alone on the first day of the new year.
That night, Li Zimai said, "I heard that if you burn a stick of incense on the top of Xiao Penglai Mountain here on New Year's Day, you will have good luck for the whole year. I hope to give you all my good luck."
He looked at Cheng Che with expectant eyes, hoping that Cheng Che could take him to Xiao Penglai, but later he said nothing and went alone.
"...If you need help, I can figure it out myself. I'll go back and discuss it with Linlin. If I don't understand something, I'll ask you for help."
Jiang Xiaoqing interrupted his distraction and asked tentatively, "I just saw that Li Shen seemed to be in a bad mood. Do you want to go back to him? We can do it another day. I'm not in a hurry."
Cheng Che put down his phone and said, "Let's do it first. Aren't you guys supposed to submit the drawings?"
"...Well, thank you."
Cheng Che only stayed in the classroom for half an hour. After resolving their issue, he left without a moment's hesitation. Jiang Xiaoqing wanted to treat him to a midnight snack, but he refused flatly, even saying bluntly, "Don't take Li Zimai's words to heart. I don't plan to have a relationship."
Jiang Xiaoqing mustered up her courage and asked him one last time, "Can't you really give it a try? If it's not suitable... I won't pester you..."
"cannot."
"...Do you have someone you like?"
He lowered his brows, hesitated for a moment, and murmured, "Yes."
