OVTTGTBE Chapter 25
by VolareBai Yao sat cross-legged on his bed, staring expressionlessly at the two of them.
Didn’t these two already know how the dorm assignments were made?
Zhang Yifang secretly observed for a while, then looked up at Liu Yucheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed next to Bai Yao’s, and said, “Bai Yao already has someone.”
However, Liu Yucheng, the blockhead, didn’t seem to react at all, and didn’t say a word. Yan Hao, on the other hand, looked confused—with Bai Yao’s looks, wasn’t it normal to have a girlfriend?
It seemed like Bai Yao clearly disliked Liu Yucheng… Could it be that the snowball fight before the New Year had completely broken them up? It wasn’t incomprehensible.
But why did this classmate specifically tell Liu Yucheng? Could it be that the two of them had a grudge because someone stole the other’s girlfriend?
“I didn’t even eat lunch, I’m about to starve.”
Since they were assigned to the same dorm, Yan Hao wanted to quickly integrate into the group. Besides, roommate relationships needed to be worked on. Everyone was brothers, nothing was insurmountable, it just depended on how hard they tried.
Thinking this, Yan Hao said, “Can we go together too?”
It was fine not seeing each other during the winter break, but now, whenever Bai Yao saw Liu Yucheng, he would remember how he had backstabbed him before the New Year, and he would still feel angry.
But he had no animosity towards Yan Hao, and Yan Hao seemed like a nice guy. There was no reason to refuse him joining them for dinner, and they might often eat together in the future. But if he didn’t bring Liu Yucheng along in this situation, people might say that Bai Yao was leading a dorm bully…
So, Bai Yao nodded and said, “Sure, let’s go together. What do you guys want to eat? I’ll listen to you.”
“Let’s go, let’s go, we’ll decide after we go out,” Li Jinyang was already putting on his shoes.
Bai Yao put on his down jacket again. Turning his head, he saw that everyone else was ready to go out, but Liu Yucheng was still sitting on the bed.
“You guys go, I’m not going,” Liu Yucheng said faintly.
Tao Lin saw Bai Yao’s face darken. It was rare for Bai Yao to let bygones be bygones and nod in agreement, so what was this guy still being difficult about?
Yan Hao was also a little surprised and asked him, “You’re not going? What are you going to eat tonight then?”
“He’s probably on a diet. If it really doesn’t work out, why don’t you get him something?”
If he didn’t go, Li Jinyang would actually be relieved. At least the atmosphere wouldn’t be too awkward during dinner.
“Are you going to treat?” Liu Yucheng looked at Bai Yao and asked.
“During the winter break, I only said I’d treat Zhang Yifang,” Bai Yao thought for a moment and said, “You guys can split the bill.”
Liu Yucheng, you idiot, dieting? Dieting my ass. Liu Yucheng’s chin looked even thinner than it did last semester, he probably had an irregular diet during the winter break.
“Oh.”
Liu Yucheng got off the bed, “Then I’ll go too, is that okay?”
“Whatever.”
After Bai Yao finished speaking, he turned around and left the dorm in a cool manner.
The conversation between the two made everyone else present a little confused—did Liu Yucheng want Bai Yao to treat him or not? Did Bai Yao actually want him to go, but was too embarrassed to say it???
Great, he’s been infected by him, he’s become difficult.
After everyone’s discussion, the dinner was unanimously decided to be a nearby self-service hot pot. Because the weather was really too cold, and the wind was strong tonight, hot pot was the most suitable thing to eat at this time.
Liu Yucheng basically didn’t say a word throughout the dinner, and Bai Yao also spoke much less than before. The two of them were still sitting next to each other, but neither of them paid attention to the other.
It was only when Li Jinyang and Tao Lin were curious about who Bai Yao’s new partner was that Bai Yao said, “You guys don’t know him, I’ll bring you to meet him when I have the chance.”
Liu Yucheng, who was holding a water bottle to pour tea, visibly trembled, and a few drops of tea splashed onto the table. Bai Yao pretended not to see it; the other insiders, except for Yan Hao, just thought that Liu Yucheng was still hung up on the past.
In the evening, Bai Yao came out of the dorm’s bathroom after showering and found that Liu Yucheng’s bed curtains were not only hung up, but also drawn tightly.
Great, they were flirting so much last night, and now he, who had just showered, was fragrant and handsome, had no appeal to Liu Yucheng, right? He even washed his hair twice more just for his image.
Bai Yao thought that Liu Yucheng would at least leave the curtains open, and then, after he came out of the shower, he would pretend to be deep and glance at him, then casually shift his gaze away. Just like when they used to go to hotels together, greedy but with a hint of restraint.
Liu Yucheng’s bed curtains were light blue, and the light inside could be vaguely seen from the outside. He even turned on a desk lamp inside the curtains, not knowing what he was doing.
“Bai Yao, you should talk to Yan Hao,” Li Jinyang said aggrievedly when he saw that Bai Yao had finally come out of the shower, “My feet aren’t smelly, but he insists on making me soak my feet with him!”
Only then did Bai Yao shift his gaze and notice that there was a brand new foot basin on the ground, filled with hot water, and a few fragments of rose petals floating on the water.
“There’s no harm in washing,” Bai Yao patted Yan Hao’s shoulder and said solemnly, “I’m counting on you from now on, supervise him more, Li Jinyang doesn’t shower every day.”
When he first met Li Jinyang last semester, he was indeed a bit sloppy. But after a semester of baptism, he had also become a clean person, Bai Yao didn’t not know that.
But who told him to lie to him? Go soak your feet with Yan Hao obediently, for at least a semester.
Yan Hao patted his chest: “Don’t worry, leave it to me! After all, my bed is next to his, I don’t want to be Smoked to deathby him in the middle of the night! Oh, buddy, don’t worry, my feet are a bit smelly, but I don’t have athlete’s foot. It’s less lonely to soak your feet together.”
Li Jinyang: “…”
Damn, who wants to soak their feet with a smelly man? The two guys in this dorm who are interested in men are playing cold war right in front of you.
…
After the dorm’s main lights were turned off and everyone else had returned to their beds, Bai Yao heard Liu Yucheng get out of bed.
He fumbled around near the wardrobe for a while, then went into the bathroom. Bai Yao soon heard the sound of him turning on the water to shower.
Bai Yao quickly scrolled through videos on his phone while listening to the movements in the bathroom—why was this person showering so sneakily in the dorm? When everyone took turns going to the washroom to wash up, he didn’t get out of bed, so Bai Yao thought he wasn’t going to wash up tonight.
Was he like this when he was in Dorm 419? He’s a bit of a thief.
Half an hour later, Liu Yucheng came out of the shower, not drying his hair, just wiping it with a towel while putting away the clothes he had changed out of.
After finishing, Liu Yucheng climbed back into his bed, set up a small table board on the bed, and placed a laptop on it.
The next-door Bai Yao suddenly turned over, this was already the third time Bai Yao had turned over since getting into bed.
Was he unable to sleep?
When the beds slightly collided, a subtle feeling welled up in Liu Yucheng’s heart, warm and fuzzy.
He knew that after the room check was over, Bai Yao immediately hid behind the curtains and adjusted the position of his pillow, sleeping on the other end. At this moment, Liu Yucheng actually felt a little envious, because the two straight men, Li Jinyang and Yan Hao, were sleeping head-to-head without any restraint.
However, Bai Yao was close at hand now, and the two would maintain this distance for at least a semester. Bai Yao didn’t chase him away, and didn’t mention changing dorms, which could already be considered Bai Yao’s answer.
So what was Bai Yao’s attitude towards him? Did he like him, or did he like that Peach Milk online?
This question had been Wrappedin Liu Yucheng’s heart thousands of times.
To Liu Yucheng, Bai Yao after showering was like a delicious cake. He didn’t even have the confidence to look at Bai Yao with the eyes of an ordinary classmate or roommate, like those two.
It was better for Bai Yao to sleep on the other end, to avoid anything that shouldn’t happen at night.
By a little after one in the morning, Yan Hao and Li Jinyang were snoring, but Liu Yucheng was still awake.
The dorm’s air conditioner had only been on for a short while tonight. The temperature dropped in the middle of the night, and Bai Yao was shivering in his blanket, unable to sleep.
The blanket he brought was a bit thin, and he wanted to turn on the air conditioner, but the air conditioner remote was on Li Jinyang’s table, and he would have to get out of bed to get it, making him even colder.
Bai Yao turned over again, took out his phone again, and tried to find a hypnotic universe encyclopedia video to listen to, forcing himself to fall asleep quickly.
Suddenly, two hands reached into his blanket and grasped his cold feet.
Bai Yao was startled and instinctively shrank back, then he quickly realized—Liu Yucheng was also still awake.
Why was he so unreserved? He was crossing the line on the first night, just like before.
He wanted to kick him away, but… this bastard’s hands were too warm.
Bai Yao couldn’t help but stretch his feet, feeling warmth bloom in his heart for a moment.
Struggling for a few seconds, he still sat up in bed, and said politely through the curtains, “Thank you.”
Liu Yucheng didn’t respond, just silently held his feet, warming one area before moving to warm another.
Until both of his hands became about as cold as Bai Yao’s feet, he let go.
Bai Yao had no choice but to dejectedly pull his feet back—Liu Yucheng’s hands had turned cold, but his feet still didn’t feel warm.
Less than half a minute later, he heard Liu Yucheng seem to fumble out of bed, moving very quietly.
Then there was a “beep” sound, and the air conditioner was turned on.
Liu Yucheng didn’t immediately return to bed, judging by the sounds, Bai Yao couldn’t tell what he was doing. After a while, Liu Yucheng sent something hot into Bai Yao’s bed curtains and placed it next to Bai Yao’s pillow.
Bai Yao picked it up and saw that it was a Puls drink bottle, filled with hot water.
“If you’re still cold, you can have my blanket.”
Through the curtains, Liu Yucheng said softly to Bai Yao.
“No need, this is enough, thank you.”
Bai Yao put the Puls bottle into the blanket at the speed of light and put his feet on it—it was so warm, he felt like he was sublimationat this moment.
He didn’t need the universe encyclopedia video to hypnotize him now, a wave of sleepiness immediately washed over Bai Yao. He listened to the sound of the air conditioner and closed his eyes in a daze.
Liu Yucheng didn’t take the opportunity to climb onto his bed tonight, which could be considered a decent thing to do.
…
The next morning, Bai Yao saw the messages that Peach Milk had sent in the middle of the night when he was washing up.
Peach Milk: School started, why don’t you talk to me?
Peach Milk: You haven’t been on the game since that day.
Peach Milk: Do you regret marrying me?
Peach Milk: Why aren’t you replying? Are you asleep, or do you already like someone else…? That’s fast,wish99.
Bai Yao, who had an 8 AM class on the first day of school, felt even more explosive after seeing these messages. This dog man, Liu Yucheng, was doing it on purpose, right? Since he could tell that he was cold and couldn’t sleep last night, couldn’t he guess why he didn’t send messages to Peach Milk last night?
Bai Yao, with a face full of Get up, walked straight to Liu Yucheng’s bed and shook his bed frantically, “Still sleeping? Get up!!”
From the content of Yan Hao and Liu Yucheng’s conversation last night, it was known that Liu Yucheng had already taken this class on Monday morning last semester; it was just that the class was in the afternoon last semester, and Bai Yao didn’t get a spot.
It was also known that Liu Yucheng probably didn’t sleep until four or five in the morning today, because Peach Milk’s last message was sent at 4:53 AM.
Thinking that this person was still comfortably lying in the warm blanket, Bai Yao felt very unbalanced.
They were husband and wife in the game, so it wouldn’t be too much to share the joys and sorrows in reality, right? Everyone was roommates, Yan Hao and Li Jinyang were extremely unwillingly getting up to prepare for class, if there was an 8 AM class, they should all go together!
The person on the bed didn’t move. And the bed shook much lighter than he thought, Bai Yao couldn’t help but get closer, wanting to lift the bed curtains to see what was going on.
Almost at the same time as he lifted the bed curtains, Liu Yucheng opened the door and entered the dorm with his keys.
He was carrying a bag of freshly bought breakfast, looked at Bai Yao standing by his bed holding up his hand to lift the bed curtains, and asked faintly, “What are you doing?”
