Chapter 27 - Press Down (1/2)

Chapter 27: Press Down

In the evening after class, they had dinner at the cafeteria and then headed back to their dormitory to take a shower.

Despite not wanting to face it, the thing that Jiang Yang had feared for the whole day still came. On a hot summer day like this even he himself wouldn’t accept not taking a shower to wash off the sweat that they had accumulated during the day.

As soon as they entered their dormitory room, Qin Xu habitually laid down onto his own bed and started playing on his phone. He guessed that Jiang Yang was probably feeling very complicated inside. He didn’t want to use his body to wash up, but he also didn’t want to get the other guy to help him wash up; while debating over these two options, Jiang Yang would undoubtedly head to the bathroom first.

As always, Qin Xu understood Jiang Yang very well.

When Xiao Yuxin finished washing up, Jiang Yang picked up his clothes and headed into the bathroom with a face of bravado. Because his mind was filled with thoughts, he didn’t notice Xiao Yuxin’s strange look as he looked in Qin Xu’s direction.

Xiao Yuxin’s first reaction after seeing “Jiang Yang” lying on Qin Xu’s bed was surprise but very quickly he recalled the scene he saw in the bathroom last time. In addition to that, they’ve been getting along pretty well these days so……This seemed quite normal?

Xiao Yuxin dried his hair and unconsciously found his eyes moving over to “Jiang Yang’s” direction.

Being watched like that, Qin Xu naturally noticed it. He looked up and asked: “Need something?”

Xiao Yuxin was surprised. He reflexively shook his head and then quickly nodded his head. His lips moved slightly and with hesitation he asked: “Jiang Yang you….do you like Qin Xu?”

Qin Xu heard this and suddenly became spirited. Finally, someone else also had the same thoughts as him. He threw down his phone and asked with a look of anticipation: “Why do you think so?”

Xiao Yuxin panicked a little, “It’s just that, didn’t you hate him before? But now you’re with him pretty much all the time and you guys act very close. Once, I couldn’t sleep and I saw you peeking at him from your bed and even help cover him with his blanket….”

“And then?”

Xiao Yuxin was confused: “What and then?”

“Besides these, anything else?

“N-no…..” Xiao Yuxin was confused. Why is he reacting so strangely? It was as if he wanted him to present solid evidence of him liking Qin Xu.

The arm supporting Qin Xu loosened and he once again fell back into his bed. He was disappointed that he didn’t manage to hear about something he didn’t already know about.

Xiao Yuxin looked on and couldn’t help but ask: “You really like him?”

Qin Xu didn’t say anything.

Although Xiao Yuxin was afraid of angering him, but as his friend, he felt the need to speak out, “But, both you and Qin Xu are men. And he often provokes and quarrels with you. He even likes Wu Tong from class three, you…..”

He said this hesitantly but the meaning behind his words were clear. He was basically saying that since they were both men, and because Qin Xu doesn’t get along with him and even has someone he likes, he probably didn’t have a chance.

Qin Xu shrugged and said indifferently: “Who says that he likes Wu Tong? That is something that happened eight hundred years ago. Also, do you think that Qin Xu is not good?”

Xiao Yuxin was startled. Although he felt that Qin Xu is a cold person and difficult to get along with, he naturally wouldn’t speak bad of something behind their backs. He could only respond dryly: “No……”

Qin Xu’s shameless narcissism was stimulated by this. He started relentlessly showering himself with compliments, “That’s right, Qin Xu is really good. Not only is he handsome, he also has a good physique, have good grades, is good at playing basketball and fighting, and he treats his friends very well. Although he may have not dated before, he is definitely someone who is loyal and devoted. Once he decides on someone, it would be difficult to change his mind….”

He chattered on non-stop. Since he was talking about himself, he naturally knew himself best and boasted effortlessly.

Xiao Yuxin listened to his chatter and thought — There’s no point trying to change his mind now. Jiang Yang has completely fallen. He likes Qin Xu to the point of no return.

He originally wanted to talk it out with Jiang Yang firstly because he was worried that it would affect his studies and secondly because he felt like it was impossible for them and Jiang Yang would get hurt. But seeing how things are now, it looks like he can no longer be saved. He could only hope that Qin Xu would also see him the same way.

However, based on his current observations, it looked like Qin Xu also had a good impression of Jiang Yang. It will have to be left up to their own devices if they wanted this relationship to be successful. Xiao Yuxin sighed and deeply related with a fathers’ sorrow.

Jiang Yang quickly washed up and came out, and Qin Xu promptly went inside. He was even given a warning glance on his way in, but Qin Xu wasn’t afraid. He was certain that Jiang Yang would not follow him into the bathroom. He washed up as per usual and when he walked out he saw Jiang Yang sitting on his bed playing on his phone. An inexplicable urge to tease him surged inside and he smirked while saying: “Hmm…. I suddenly noticed that my physique is pretty good. I even have a four pack…..”

He lifted his shirt up and narcissistically touched his stomach. The moment Jiang Yang saw this, he instantly leapt up and rushed over to stop him. While pulling his shirt back down he said through gritted teeth: “What are you doing!”

Qin Xu looked at him innocently: “I’m just complimenting you.”
