Chapter 58
He Shen recounted all of his seatmate’s good points and Lou Xiao exhausted half a pack of cigarettes. By now, his head was really throbbing in pain. “Do you want to sleep in the dorm tonight?”
He Shen: “No.”
Lou Xiao raised an eyebrow, “Oh, you’re actually willing to be away from your perfect baobei?”
He Shen, as though he were being astute and circumspect, said, “Don’t you know? Absence makes the heart fonder.”
If not for the many years they’ve been brothers, Lou Xiao would have snuffed out the cigarette on him!
There’s ‘Absence makes the heart fonder’, then what about 'bearing the distance'?
What was this old hooligan pretending to be pure and virtuous for!
Therefore, today, the school tyrant still did not know that these two’s relationship was a pure and innocent unrequited longing…
Although he was no longer going to sleep in the dorm, He Shen returned to 516 to talk to Qiao Shao.
As soon as the door opened, Wei Jiayu slowly burrowed out of his quilt.
He Shen looked up at him. “What?”
Wei Jiayu, with a bird’s nest on his head, stared at him for a long while. “Wha-what about Xiao Ge …”
In the end, did East High’s school tyrant lose out on this legendary man!
He Shen said, “I don’t know.” Lou Xiao hadn’t told him. He probably went back to the internet café.
Wei Jiayu paused and said, “Oh …”
He retracted back into his quilt and put on his headphones, listening to the music to sort out his thoughts, considering what to say to Lou Xiao to comfort him.
During their interruption, Qiao Shao saw He Shen and that bit of uneasiness he felt suddenly disappeared.
He wrinkled his nose and asked, “Why do you smell like cigarettes?”
He Shen ruthlessly passed the buck. “It was Lou Xiao, but the smell of smoke should dissipate soon.”
No one in Qiao Shao’s family smoked, and he couldn’t bear the smell of cigarettes. “That smell’s so suffocating.”
He Shen, as though he had never smoked, “I think so too.”
Qiao Shao said to him again, “Would you like to take a bath?”
He Shen replied, “No need, I’ll head home in a bit.”
Qiao Shao was a little surprised. “You’re not going to sleep here?”
He Shen looked at his fair and clear forehead and wanted to plant a kiss. How could he dare stay? “Since the power’s back on, I’ll go back.”
Qiao Shao answered, “Oh, right.”
Since the power’s back on, he won’t be afraid of ghosts anymore and he can sleep at home.
His own apartment would indeed be more comfortable than this small dormitory.
Qiao Shao asked him again, “Why’d you come back? Is something the matter?”
He Shen said, “Nothing, I just wanted to tell you.”
Qiao Shao didn’t think too much about it. He thought He Shen had been in the dormitory building just now, and said, “What’s there to say? Quickly go back and rest.”
He Shen didn’t explain that he had actually climbed back up the fifth floor and said, “I’ll be going then.”
Qiao Shao: “Bye bye!”
When He Shen left, Qiao Shao sat back on the bed, but he unexpectedly felt a bit empty.
After a while, his phone rang.
Qiao Shao pulled it out from under the pillow and saw a WeChat message from He Shen.
Without Friday: “Thank you for tonight.”
Qiao Shao’s lips ticked up, “What’s there to thank? You’ve helped me so much, how can I not look after you?”
Well, boys can be very sensitive about saving face.
It seemed that He Shen really was afraid of ghosts. He held had held his hand tightly all night and was always leaning against him. Thinking back, it was a bit cute.
He Shen sent him another message. “See you tomorrow.”
Qiao Shao was about to return the same to him, when he suddenly remembered something. “Make sure to sleep early tonight. Don’t stay up late.”
Although there was a debt that still needed to be repaid, there was still time. He could just help him with it later on.
He Shen smiled slightly and couldn’t help but tease him again. “I will put in every effort.”
Qiao Shao immediately replied back. “This still requires effort? You’re done with work, right?”
He Shen leaned against the street lamp and sent him a WeChat message. “I’ll be all alone. I’m scared. How can I sleep?”
Seeing this sentence, Qiao Shao’s typing fingers trembled a little. “Would you like to come back and sleep here with me?”
Before He Shen could answer, Qiao Shao sent another sentence: “Or should I go with you to your house to accompany you?”
He Shen stared at these two sentences for a long time, and finally sighed softly, no longer daring to tease him. “No, you rest early. I’m already going up.”
Qiao Shao thought about it and sent him another message. “If you’re really scared, call me.”
He Shen thought they shouldn’t still be chatting, but he couldn’t help himself. “And you’ll come to keep me company?”
Qiao Shao: “En.”
He Shen: “No matter if it’s very late?”
Qiao Shao said: “Of course.”
He Shen felt like he needed another smoke…
He didn’t type again, and sent a voice message to Qiao Shao instead. “Don’t worry, I’m fine, good night.”
After speaking, he took a screenshot of the above conversation.
Lou Xiao, who had just arrived at the Internet cafe, heard the phone ping.
He took a look and saw that He Shen had sent a picture.
The school tyrant didn’t suspect anything and was completely taken by surprise when he opened it.
On the first image:
Would you like to come back and sleep here with me?
Or should I go with you to your house to accompany you?
2nd image:
And you’ll come to keep me company?
En.
No matter if it’s very late?
of course.
Here were two screenshots of a WeChat conversation. The nickname above made the school tyrant want to quickly go blind —Qiao Guai Guai.
Lou Xiao dropped his cigarette. He sent He Shen three huge question marks and five words: “What’s the meaning of this?”
He Shen unhurriedly replied back. “Nothing, just wanted to show you how perfect he is.”
School tyrant: “………………”
He Shen was particularly considerate. “If you can’t see it clearly, I will enlarge it at home and print out a copy for you.”
Lou Xiao: “???”
Are you crazy! !! !!
The poor school tyrant. He’s been sitting in the internet café, minding his own business when this pie full of dog food fell from the sky. He hadn’t even eaten dinner yet but he was already full.
He was thinking of shutting his phone to get some peace and quiet when someone sent him another WeChat message.
Lou Xiao closed He Shen’s annoying dialogue box and looked at the unread message.
Wei Jiayu: “Xiao Ge?”
Lou Xiao didn’t know why Blue Hair was looking for him. “En?”
Wei Jiayu was typing for a long time, and in the end, he asked, “Are you okay?”
Lou Xiao said with a blank expression, “No, I’m not.”
He wasn’t okay. He was completely not okay. He was feeling so not okay that he wanted to stick a knife into his brother.
At 516, Wei Jiayu slowly sat up.
Qiao Shao had just come out of the bathroom and was startled: “What’s wrong?”
Wei Jiayu looked at him.
Qiao Shao said resolutely. “If there’s something the matter, then say it.”
What should Jiayu Wei say!
Should I say that you had broken the magnificent school tyrant’s heart?
Should I say that East High’s strongest man was out there alone, licking his wounds?
Wei Jiayu already found it hard to say these things and even if he could, Lou Xiao would never accept this sympathy!
Drink of misfortune, oh Drink of misfortune! What’s more, this drink of misfortune was his brother!
Wei Jiayu took a deep breath and said, “It’s nothing!”
He asked Lou Xiao: “Xiao Ge, where are you?”
Lou Xiao was in an Internet cafe.
Wei Jiayu put on his sandals and went out.
When he left, Qiao Shao looked quizzically at Chen Su, “What’s happening?”
Chen Su: “I don’t know.”
Qiao Shao said as he wiped his hair, “Do you think it’s anything serious?”
Chen Su thought for a while and said, “It’s okay. He’s brought his mobile phone with him. If he doesn’t return once it’s late, we’ll call him.”
That’s all they could do…
Although they now have a good relationship with Blue Hair, there was a wall between the international classes and the ordinary classes, and many things were unclear.
On the other side, Wei Jiayu hurried to the cafe and found Lou Xiao’s box.
At this moment, Lou Xiao was picking up a knife…
Wei Jiayu shouted, “Xiao Ge, calm down!”
Lou Xiao, who ordered a steak for dinner, was startled.
Wei Jiayu squeezed into the box and pulled the door close and said, “There’s plenty more fish in the sea! There’s no need to stay in unrequited love with this one fish!”
Lou Xiao: “???”
What was going on tonight?
Wei Jiayu said, “I know. I know everything.”
Lou Xiao put down his knife and fork and asked him, “What the hell are you talking about?”
Wei Jiayu sighed. “Qiao Shao and Shen Ge …”
He wanted to say something but hesitated.
Lou Xiao thought for a while and said, “Oh, you’ve worked hard tonight.”
While playing truth or dare, he saw Wei Jiayu trying to cover for the two.
Wei Jiayu said, “So what if I worked hard? I didn’t help at all.”
Lou Xiao said, “You already did quite well.”
Wei Jiayu wrung his hands. “But Qiao Shao only has Shen Ge in his heart!”
Lou Xiao was puzzled. “Naturally?”
The author has something to say: Yes, the important personage of the heretic party, Wei Blue Cat will finally be enlightened. [You get what I mean?]
