Chapter 70 (2/2)

”This was a birthday present?” After Xie Yu hung up, He Zhao held up the book and asked, ”Who gave you this? They're creative”

Xie Yu glanced at it ”The guy froift-wrapped the book and tied it up with a bright red ribbon in a butterfly knot

Reain and added, ”I nearly broke his legs”

He Zhao thought, Broke his legs?

Xie Yu had kept the book till now

His little friend seemed hard-hearted, but he really wasn't

Xie Yu's smile faded and he tossed his phone aside

Lei's s just now Zhou Dalei had tried to snatch the phone back to no avail Now that the noise on the other side of the phone had stopped, Xie Yu realized he actually felt disappointed

It was the same sort of disappointment Xie Yu had felt the first few days after he and his mother had moved away fro, he habitually started off to wang-er hear street hawkers yelling

The ht about it, the more frustrated he felt

Ordinarily, he would just curse out loud and be done with it, but now He Zhao was sitting next to hi that Face Life Cales aloud for him ”My little friend, you didn't read this at all, did you? It's actually quite useful… Learn fro violent to me”

He Zhao had sed the words, 'e”

He Zhao stopped mid-speech

Xie Yu wasn't sure how to explain, either It seemed too melodra sort The retted it

So they looked at each other for a while, then Xie Yu said, ”Nothing Just wanted to call you”

Xie Yu never called hie' for no reason The first time he had done it was at Liu Cunhao's birthday event, and he had followed it up with, 'You provoked ? As if”

It was all pointless, anyway

Xie Yu was reht about those noisy, vulgar sounds that could have come from a marketplace

Xie Yu had let one of his feet fall off the bed while he was talking His feet were bare and touched the floor

It was cool to the touch

”Then think about so else” He Zhao smiled ”For example, where I stand, in your present and in your future”

He Zhao said all of this very seriously, the dismissive tone he usually carried now absent Xie Yu's silhouette was reflected in his eyes

He was so serious about it that Xie Yu leaned in without realizing

As if possessed, he leaned forward to kiss He Zhao In that ht, why be dramatic? Just do it

Their lips touched, and his mind went blank

He Zhao, worried that he would hurt Xie Yu again, tried to hold hiue and touched He Zhao's

Just the one touch didn't count

Xie Yu's hands had undone He Zhao's trouser fastening The school pants were designed loosely, and he reached in after he undid thehtly curved When he first touched it, he felt burned by its warmth He paused, scared todoard, too ”Are you trying to kill nal sounded outside the dormitory

By the ti was pitch-black They only heard each other's breathing, hurried and intertwined

Xie Yu felt around at the head of his bed for a pack of tissues

He Zhao took it and was going to help Xie Yu clean up, but before he could touch him Xie Yu nearly kicked him out of bed ”…Don't touchto sleep together?”

Xie Yu asked, ”Can you fall asleep with a stick like that in your pants?”

Thinking about it, he had a point

The bed was sether, they were skin to skin

Xie Yu sat up and reached out to turn on the electric light at the head of his bed

In the diht, He Zhao noticed that his little friend's sweater had ridden up on his sto most of his waist Then he looked lower and saw the loose school pants he had undone just now

He kept looking, then bent down and touch Xie Yu's lips again ”I'll go back to my room then”

Xie Yu said, ”Get lost”

He was the sort of bed up his pants, would pretend they were strangers

He Zhao sh He Zhao had left, the sht was still lit Xie Yu noticed that his phone, which he had tossed onto the bed, was also lit up

The notifications piled up

Thinking He Zhao had sent hiht hold of his phone and unlocked it, only to see more than ten notifications from an app
