Chapter 5 Friend Request
"It's done."
Cheng Che put down the knife, his expression cold and impatience evident in the corners of his brows. The customer across from him clearly had no intention of letting him go. He crossed his legs, raised his chin, and said, "Bring it here."
Cheng Che's fingers were clenched into fists. He lowered his eyes slightly to hide the violence in his eyes, picked up the cake plate on the table and walked towards the big customer sitting in the middle.
The customer stared at his face, then slowly came over, took the plate from his hand, and smiled with satisfaction, "How old are you? Are you still studying?"
Cheng Che finally stood up straight, staring at the claws holding his hands, and said calmly and politely, "If you let go now, I can let it go."
Before the other party could laugh, Cheng Che was pulled away by someone. In a few seconds, the other party's face was covered with two thousand yuan worth of cake, and white crumbs splattered everywhere. The bar instantly became lively.
The singer continued to sing the ballad, but the drinkers had already gathered around.
Zhou Xumao was shocked. He had never seen Li Zimai so wild. He looked like he was ready to fight. He stared at the boy who was held by Li Zimai and was even more shocked: Wow, this boy looks exactly like Li Zimai.
The customer finally wiped his face clean, revealing a pair of squinting eyes, and said angrily, "Don't you want to live anymore?"
Li Zimai slowly took off his jacket and said, "Why, you want to fight?"
The person opposite was completely bluffing. He was about 1.9 meters tall, and when he took off his coat, you could vaguely see the muscle lines under his T-shirt. He was so scared that his face turned pale and blue. He stiffened his neck, cursed a few times, and walked away angrily.
The farce ended here.
Li Zimai folded his arms and looked at Cheng Che, "Where did your energy go when you were so mean to me in the dorm that day?"
Cheng Che packed up the takeout bag, looked up at him, and said nothing.
Li Zimai said, "I helped you, and you didn't even say thank you?"
"Thanks."
He was very obedient, so obedient that Li Zimai was so angry that he didn't know where to vent.
Zhou Xumao grabbed Li Zimai and said, "Where are you going? Yueyue's birthday isn't over yet."
Zhuang Kaiyue quickly said, "I think the cakes there look delicious. Zimai, can you buy me one?"
Li Zimai hummed, his mood calming down a bit. He put on his coat while warning Zhou Xumai, "Don't tell my brother I want to fight."
"Then tell me first, who is that boy?"
"My roommate."
Everyone looked at each other, wondering when Master Li learned to live with someone else, and the person he was living with was a delivery boy.
The "delivery guy" was fiddling with his small battery, and the stupid customer didn't forget to kick the battery bike a few times to vent the gas before going out.
Li Zimai saw Cheng Che squatting there repairing the electric scooter. Cheng Che was not short at all. In fact, because of his excellent body proportions, he looked more than 1.8 meters tall. But when he squatted down, his back was extremely thin. From the back, he looked like an underdeveloped child, which was very pitiful.
"Cheche, let me apologize first. My tone was not good just now."
Cheng Che said "Oh" and continued to repair his battery. During this time, he received a call from the store manager. It seemed that he had been complained about. Cheng Che kept apologizing. Li Zimai added fuel to the fire and comforted him: "I'll go to your store later to buy another one and give you a five-star review, okay?"
Cheng Che didn't intend to waste time talking to him. He gave up repairing the small battery and prepared to take the subway back to school.
Li Zimai followed him, "Are you going back to the dormitory? I want to go back too."
"I'll take the subway back."
"I'll take the subway back too."
The 9 o'clock subway was during the evening rush hour for working people. While going through security, Cheng Che took out his phone and pointed to the WeChat mini-program, "Scan the code to enter the station."
Li Zimai was surprised and asked, "Don't we need to buy tickets now?"
The last time Li Zimai took the subway was when Beijing Metro Line 4 was officially put into operation. His grandfather took him there, and many media outlets followed him to interview him, filming him from the moment he bought the ticket to the moment he got off the train.
While on the subway, Li Zimai saw Cheng Che replying to someone's WeChat message and immediately showed his QR code. "Scan me, I want to see you add me. I receive one friend request every day, and you can ignore it so completely."
"You are boring."
"Then why don't you agree? We're roommates and we're going to live together for four years."
Cheng Che was still replying to WeChat messages, and the note was Duan Rui, probably because the other party was going to work in Beijing.
Li Zimai said, "Who is Duan Rui? Is he your friend?"
Cheng Che raised his elbow to press against the other person's shoulder, frowned, and said, "Stay away from me."
Li Zimai had to bend his back and try his best not to touch Cheng Che, but the subway was too crowded and too crowded. If he didn't touch Cheng Che, he would touch the girl next to him. Cheng Che had no choice but to move a few inches closer to the door. Seeing this, Li Zimai immediately moved closer, holding the safety bar with one hand and holding Cheng Che's takeaway bag with the other.
In the crowded carriage, someone was secretly filming them with a cell phone camera. Cheng Che frowned and looked over. It was a short girl. The girl met his gaze, immediately lowered her head, and tapped the screen with her fingers.
Li Zimai followed his gaze and asked, "Which one do you like?"
Cheng Che didn't answer, and Li Zimai took it as his tacit agreement. "I didn't expect Brother Che to be quite traditional. He likes this type of girl."
"Will you shut up."
Li Zimai simply lowered his head and moved closer to him, asking, "Let's talk, do you like this one?"
He ran from the car to the outside, causing his head to hit the subway door when he got off the subway. This collision made several passers-by laugh. For the first time, Li Zimai felt that his male god style was no longer secure. He turned his head to look at Cheng Che, who smiled lightly.
Li Zimai almost missed this fleeting smile. When Cheng Che smiled, he had a dimple on his right cheek, which was particularly shallow. The end of his eyebrow was broken, and it was not known whether it was intentional or natural. With this dimple, he looked both fierce and cute, which was really good-looking.
Li Zimai finally added Cheng Che's WeChat. He opened the permissions of his own Moments and then clicked into Cheng Che's Moments. It was all white and there wasn't even a background picture set.
【Li】: Did you block me?
Cheng Che was lying on the bed, about to fall asleep, when a WeChat message popped up. He looked at the bed opposite him and saw Li Zimai with his feet resting on the edge of the bed, holding his phone high in one hand. The light from the screen shone on his face. He was indeed quite handsome, but his sleeping posture was very indecent.
【Li】: I saw you saw my message, why didn't you reply? Did you block me?
[Li]: You haven’t answered my question today.
【Ci】：Male God is curious.jpg
The last emoticon is of Li Zimai himself, and Cheng Che is speechless.
[Cheche]: Are you annoying? I didn’t block you. I’m going to sleep.
[Li]: Then why can’t I see your Moments? You must have blocked me.
[Cheche]: I don’t play.
[Li]: I don’t believe it. You always have to post discount advertisements or something, but you don’t even have an advertisement.
[Cheche]: If you send me another message, I will delete you.

Cheng Che turned off his phone, not feeling sleepy. After a while, he opened WeChat again and clicked into Li Zimai's circle of friends. There were not many friends, so Cheng Che quickly scrolled through it. Most of them were reposts from public accounts related to architecture, some were about dogs and cats, and some were about competitions. Occasionally, there were a few photos with faces showing, which Cheng Che had seen before.
Li Shen’s updates are often seen on the homepages of major forums.
The next morning, Li Zimai was woken up by a call from Zhou Xumao, who was furious: "Early this morning, Xu Sinian blocked me at Yueyue's door and asked me if I had a crush on someone."
Cheng Che just got off the bed. Li Zimai quickly hung up his headphones and whispered, "I'm hanging up first."
Yang Mingxi went to early morning class, and they were the only two people in the dormitory. Li Zimai stood next to Cheng Che, brushing his teeth, and apologized very politely: "I forgot to set my phone to vibrate while playing games last night. Did I wake you up?"
Cheng Che didn't say anything, he was indeed woken up.
Cheng Che was often woken up and had long been accustomed to it, but he did not expect Li Zimai to apologize so formally. Li Zimai was the quietest roommate he had ever met. Although his sleeping posture was a little bad, he did not grind his teeth or snore, and he was not sloppy or banging on the keyboard. He did not have the bad habits of most boys and was very well-educated.
After a while, Li Zimai asked again in confusion: "You had a nightmare again last night. Are you a little scared because you've done too many bad things?"
Cheng Che decided to take back his opinion of him being well-educated and said coldly, "You don't sleep at night just to listen to others sleep?"
"By the way, let me tell you something," Li Zimai said with a smile, "You sleep really well, curling up into a small ball like a little kid."
Cheng Che didn't want to pay any attention to him, so he packed his bag and went to the library. When the door was closing, he saw Li Zimai still wearing headphones, leaning against the desk, with his long legs lazily draped over the stool, talking on the phone leisurely.
"Just ignore him. Don't call me so early in the morning. My roommate is still asleep."
Li Zimai called Zhou Xumao back, "Also, could you please stop spreading rumors about me?"
"Do you still need me to spread your rumors? Li Shenyi opened the WeChat Moments permission, and a picture from several years ago appeared in my WeChat Moments this morning. You have no idea how many people are watching you."
Li Zimai then clicked into his own Moments and found that there were already many likes and comments, some even liked the first Moments post. It was like he was being watched all over. He immediately turned off the permissions, wondering if Cheng Che had seen it.
"Alright, alright, it's not for them to see."
"Who are you showing it to, then? Your new roommate?"
"You're right, I have a crush on someone."
"Li Shen, if you want to be flirty, you're the one. Don't you know you have a crazy ex-boyfriend? Believe it or not, if Xu knew, he would have his fans to spit out your roommate to death."
Li Zimai suddenly asked, "I remember your second uncle is the director of the neurology department, right?"
"Well, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's not me, it's Che...my friend. He has trouble sleeping at night and wakes up easily. He wants to see if there is any way to sleep better."
Zhou Xumao was furious on the other end of the phone. "I'm telling you about Xu Sinian, and you're talking nonsense to me. It's been so long, why is he still clinging to you? It's endless."
