Chapter 71: Bite

Jiang Yang who suddenly ran out of the infusion clinic was reprimanded by a nurse not to run in a hospital. Jiang Yang, with his face still flushed with embarra.s.sment, felt guilty and immediately slowed down his pace into a fast walk but he still couldn't ignore the burning gaze that followed him from behind.

He stayed outside for a long time to allow himself to calm his emotions back down and restore a look of calmness.

Perhaps it was fortunate that his temper isn't great and that he had grown accustomed to maintaining a taunt face, so he didn't feel that he had embarra.s.sed himself too much earlier.

He found a water dispenser and proceeded to fill up two cups. Both times, he drank it all in one gulp and he was finally able to quench his dry throat. When he felt that he had finally calmed down, he thought that it might seem too suspicious running out so suddenly, so he filled another cup of water and walked back to the infusion clinic with it in his hand.

Jiang Yang walked back coldly and calmly, and handed the water over to Qin Xu, “For your medicine.”

It seemingly explained why he had suddenly run out.

Qin Xu laughed while receiving the cup of water from Jiang Yang. He obediently took his medicine but, because he only had one hand, it was inconvenient for him, so Jiang Yang naturally lent a hand.

Qin Xu picked up the tablet from Jiang Yang's hand with his warm fingertips brushed against Jiang Yang's palm. After swallowing it, he turned to Jiang Yang and revealed a brilliant smile.

Jiang Yang suddenly felt very uncomfortable. He turned away and tried to look for something to do. He looked up and proceeded to start watching the TV with a look of great interest.

Unfortunate, what was playing on TV just happened to be Peppa Pig.

Jiang Yang initially felt his body stiffen but after watching for a while, he found it surprisingly interesting. Even the people around him who weren't playing on their phones were watching with great interest, no matter their gender or age.

Qin Xu stared at Jiang Yang's side profile for a while but seemingly realised that his stare could make the other person feel pressured, so he slowly moved it over to the TV.

After the infusion was done, they left the hospital. The hospital wasn't far from the school, so it wouldn't take much time for them to walk back. Neither of them suggested calling for a taxi and they just proceeded to walk down the path side by side. Despite the silence, the atmosphere wasn't bad. In fact, it was actually quite good.

Halfway there, perhaps because the vague moonlight illuminating their heads looked quite beautiful, perhaps because it the dark night made people more impulsive, or perhaps Qin Xu's eyes were too bright and the kiss in his palm was too hot…………Because of many, many reasons, Jiang Yang felt a moment of impulsiveness. The moment he said it, he felt very relieved.

He looked at the road ahead of them and suddenly spoke up: “Qin Xu, I think I probably like you.”

At that moment, Qin Xu's mind went blank. It was as if all the surrounding sounds suddenly disappeared and everything had slowed down considerably into a scene like those of a slow-motion film.

“……What did you say?” Qin Xu didn't dare believe what he had just heard. He even suspected that it was something that he had imagined because he had desperately wanted to hear him say those words.

Jiang Yang was stared at by him as if he had been completely locked on. The stare was so fierce that, although he had said the words first, he's suddenly a little panicked?

Under that strong gaze, Jiang Yang subconsciously took a step back. He keenly sensed that danger and instinctively wanted to run.

Qin Xu however didn't hesitate. He grabbed Jiang Yang's hand and, because he was too excited, he didn't control his strength well. He grabbed so tightly that Jiang Yang's fingers twisted around in his grip in pain. He asked again: “You just said that you liked me a lot, right?”

Jiang Yang originally wanted to complain about the pain and pull back his hands but the moment he heard those words, he couldn't help but want to laugh. This guy actually arbitrarily changed someone else's words. He even removed the speculative adjective and added a quant.i.tative adjective in its place. If he did this in the exam, he would definitely lose marks.

At this moment, Jiang Yang couldn't help but admire his own ability to diss him while a.s.sociating it to their studies.

Qin Xu naturally noticed him being distracted and pulled at his hand with some dissatisfaction to attract his attention. He again asked: “Right?”

Jiang Yang looked at his handsome face that appeared very gentle as it is illuminated by the pale moonlight. It was like there was a soft layer of silk over him. Although he was still pale from his illness, he couldn't help but admit that he looked good. His personality also wasn't that bad; just a little annoying, and they also had very similar interests. Things like food they liked to eat and games they liked to play, they were able to get along very well.

Yeah, isn't this pretty good?

This time Jiang Yang didn't act proud and deny defensively. Instead, he calmly faced him and nodded: “Yes, I like you.”

Qin Xu was instantly in a very good mood. He took a step forward to reduce the distance between the two. With a pair of burning eyes, “Then we're a couple. Together. No backing out now.”

Jiang Yang couldn't help but lick his slightly dry lips before curving his lips up into a smile.

The atmosphere now is very good. It was like they had exchanged tokens of love under the soft moonlit grove but the next second several children ran past them waving light sticks while yelling out, “Together! Together!”

In an instant, things turned awkward.

They had just happened to pa.s.s a nearby park. At night, grandpas and grandmas would come out to dance and some would take their grandchildren out for a walk.

Qin Xu glared irately at the children that had ruined the atmosphere. That act of his was a little immature, but he was in a good mood, so he was too lazy to be too concerned about the kids. He pulled Jiang Yang's hand and started walking.

Jiang Yang and Qin Xu walked side by side chatting and laughing but Jiang Yang kept his hand to one side not allowing Qin Xu to hold it. As Qin Xu walked, he would reach out from time to time, but Jiang Yang would avoid it every time with a smile on his face. The two were as childish as ever and bickered around like tiger cubs play fighting.

When they returned to school, it wasn't considered very late. After all, the self-study cla.s.s goes until ten in the evening and it is only a little past eight now.

Jiang Yang and Qin Xu entered their cla.s.sroom through the back door and quietly returned to their seats. The other students heard their movements and subconsciously looked over. Those who paid attention realised very quickly that the two had once again reconciled. After all, they had returned together, and Qin Xu also had an uncontrollable smile on his face. It wasn't hard to tell that he was in a good mood.

They had missed more than half the time they were given to self-study, so they naturally had to quickly finish their homework during the remaining time.
