Chapter 60 (2/2)

Zhao Yuan seemed tipsy. He crossed his arms over his chest and squinted at Lin Wenxi.

Lin Wenxi felt somewhat anxious and shouted, “Turn off the light. You should at least respect my habits.” Before he finished his sentence, the light was turned off. It was pitch-dark in the room now, since the window was too small to let enough light come in. Zhao Yuan remained silent, and Lin Wenxi could not feel his existence anymore.

Lin Wenxi had never experienced such darkness. After a long time, he still failed to see his own fingers clearly.

“Hey?” He said, but Zhao Yuan did not reply. He could only hear his own voice inside the room now.

His heart began to race, as he crawled to the place where Zhao Yuan had been. When he touched it, he was surprised to find out that it was empty. He could not help but scream. Suddenly, the door was opened and slowly closed. The next moment, the door was opened again. Lin Wenxi could not help but think of some scenes in horror movies.

When he fumbled for the light switch on the wall, he touched a cold thing. It seemed to be a cold hand. He shrilled. Suddenly, the light was on, and a weird-looking mask appeared about 30 centimeters in front of his face. He was too frightened to cry out. He hid under the quilt and shivered.

“Humphy, you coward, do you dare to shout at me gain?” Zhao Yuan said and wanted to get under the quilt. To his surprised, he could not uncover the quilt, as Lin Wenxi tightly wrapped it around himself.

“I’m freezing to death!” Zhao Yuan could not help but cry out. He had stayed outside for quite a long time. If it had not been for this good health, he would’ve had a running nose now.

Lin Wenxi continued to wrap the quilt tightly around himself. He gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Zhao Yuan grabbed the quilt with both hands and lifted it up. Lin Wenxi was lifted up together with the quilt but he still tried his best to grab the quilt. Suddenly, the quilt cover tore. Zhao Yuan lost balance and fell beside Lin Wenxi. They looked at each other, their faces less than 10 centimeters apart.

At the moment, both of them were exhausted and panted heavily. They kept looking at each other for several seconds. Lin Wenxi’s face and ears all turned red.

Blue vines stood out on Zhao Yuan’s forehead, and his head was soaked with sweats. He looked into Lin Wenxi’s eyes, but Lin Wenxi still kept a straight face.

When their eyes met, Zhao Yuan was deeply impressed by the clear and bright eyes of Lin Wenxi. He found it hard to control himself and reached out a hand to grab Lin Wenxi, as he thought of what Zhang Dong had told him back in the cafe.

“No,” He thought and quickly came back to his senses. He looked at something behind Lin Wenxi and shouted, “Look, what’s that?” Lin Wenxi was surprised and looked back. Zhao Yuan took this chance to rip off Lin Wenxi’s sweater.

“You jerk!” Lin Wenxi shouted while wearing an undershirt. Zhao Yuan pointed a finger at him and laughed. Lin Wenxi felt that something was wrong, but he still lay prone on the bed without covering himself with a quilt. He felt quite uneasy.

“What’s the big deal? We slept together during the wilderness training,” Zhao Yuan grumbled. Somehow, he thought of Zhang Dong’s words again and really wanted to do something to Lin Wenxi. Suddenly, he felt sad. He felt as if his Lin Wenxi had been taken away by someone else.

He looked at Lin Wenxi’s slender neck, clearly visible shoulder blades, white skin and red lips. He felt increasingly excited. After a while, he sighed heavily and said, “Let’s sleep. It’s almost 1 o’clock.” He gradually calmed down and felt tired. He picked up the broken quilt cover and said, “It’s alright if you want to sleep with your pants on. But you have to mend my quilt cover tomorrow. Otherwise, I won’t let you leave this place.”

As Lin Wenxi remained silent, he continued, “This is my only quilt cover. If you don’t mend it, we can only sleep without a quilt!”

Lin Wenxi swiftly took off his outer trousers and woollen trousers under the quilt, folded them and placed them beside himself. He said, “I’ll try my best to mend it, but I can’t promise you that I’ll mend it well. If your mother scolds you for ruining the quilt cover, you can’t put the blame on me.”

Zhao Yuan did not reply. He had fallen asleep with his head resting on his hands.

Upon seeing that, Lin Wenxi slept as well. Shortly afterwards, he felt that Zhao Yuan put an arm around his waist. He remained silent.

He struggled a little and then calmed down. He looked at the black sky and the falling snowflakes through the window and thought, “It still snows. Tomorrow, everything will be covered with snow. Will such a scene make me forget about everything?” Gradually, he fell asleep.

It was a cold and windy night, but he felt warm.
