“Yes…” Su Tang lightly nodded, then hastily pulled his hand out from the other person’s hand. His movements were very rigid, and he didn’t even know where to place his hands, so he could only put it in front of his chest, as he stared somewhat helplessly at the other person.
“What’s this?” Chi Shuyan smiled.
“No, nothing.” Su Tang hastily put his hand down, and his gaze followed. He wriggled his fingers, then placed them behind his hands in the end.
Chi Shuyan observed his reaction and couldn’t resist laughing. His gaze was fixed on Su Tang’s face, and he even looked at the latter with a brow raised.
Su Tang was flustered by his look. He didn’t know how he felt inside, but he put his other hand behind him as well.
“Hey, I just kissed you once. It’s not as if I’m eating you up, why are you so terrified?” Chi Shuyan asked.
“I’m not afraid. I just… just want to study.” After Su Tang said this, he felt that his words were too fake. He returned Chi Shuyan’s stare, but he felt too embarrassed to admit it, so he really took the book and started reading.
In reality, he wasn’t reading anything, because Chi Shuyan continued staring at him. This made his heart beat wildly, and he couldn’t calm down.
Turns out that the saying that dating affects one's studies was real. Although it couldn’t be described as being unable to extricate oneself because they were immersed in the romance, most times, one would be touched by the tiniest action from the other party.
This couldn’t go on. Su Tang pondered for some time, then finally placed his book down. Chi Shuyan saw this and chuckled, “Are you going to stop studying?”
“......” Su Tang couldn’t muster a reply. He could only harrumph seethingly and then said, “Stop looking at me. It’s affecting my studies.”
“Can I be blamed for this?” Chi Shuyan reached out and tapped the tip of Su Tang’s tiny nose before adding, “It’s clearly because you like me, hence nothing is going into your brain.”
“You’re to blame for that too.” Su Tang was feeling aggrieved, and wanted to add on more, but he felt that it wasn’t appropriate, and finally, he could only retort, “I don’t care. Anyway, this is your fault.”
Chi Shuyan was elated when he heard this. He continued staring at Su Tang, whose eyes were bright like crescent moons. They weren’t blinding, and instead, felt very warm.
He’s so good-looking. Su Tang couldn’t help but think this, though he didn’t say it out, otherwise the other party would surely think of ways to make him repeat this a few times, or say something that would make him blush. Su Tang couldn’t handle this.
However, he really liked Chi Shuyan’s smile. It was a smile that was reserved for him, and Su Tang even wanted to use a camera to photograph this smile, then secretly keep it so that he could look at it when he missed him.
However, he thought about it again. He wasn’t going to be apart from Chi Shuyan. They were together everyday, so he could surely see Chi Shuyan whenever he wanted to. Moreover, how could a picture compare to the real person?
Chi Shuyan was observing Su Tang as the latter’s mind ran wild. He noticed that the other party was in a daze. His face was flushed, and the corners of his lips were curled upwards. His long lashes fluttered intermittently, and his features were exquisite and beautiful, like a doll displayed in a cabinet.
However, the ahoge on his head was swaying around carelessly, as though someone had accidentally turned a switch on. It looked so fun to play with that after Chi Shuyan watched him for some time, he reached out and placed his hand lightly on Su Tang’s head and caressed it, then stroked the ahoge.
Su Tang was still daydreaming, hence he didn’t notice what Chi Shuyan was doing. All he felt was that the other person’s rubbing was quite comfortable, so he instinctively rubbed back against his hand.
These moments passed exceptionally slowly, but they didn’t feel bored at all. Instead, they felt contented, as though the passage of time was peacefully well.
Chi Shuyan’s actions gradually slowed. Initially, he would fiddle with Su Tang’s hair, but when he saw Su Tang’s pleasurable expression, a thought came to mind. He stopped his movements, waiting to see if the other party would react.
True enough, without Chi Shuyan’s gentle caresses, Su Tang groaned unhappily. He looked like a cat acting coy, appearing soft and gentle, yet with a hint of regret.
Yet, somehow, Su Tang’s groans didn’t compel Chi Shuyan to continue. Su Tang was a little upset, and he unwittingly looked up. However, he simply opened his mouth, but nothing came out of it.
“Were you feeling very comfortable just now, Kitty Su?” Chi Shuyan asked.
“Ah…..” Su Tang finally managed to react. Immediately, he wanted to dig a hole and hide, but the dorm was only so big. Where could he hide? Under the bed? In the closet?
And Su Tang really considered this seriously before he realised that his mind had wandered again. He deliberated some more, then finally decided to sprawl himself over the table, leaning his head forward like an ostrich.
“Why are you feeling shy again?” Chi Shuyan leaned over too, his voice sounding extremely close, as though he was speaking close to Su Tang’s ears.
“I’m not. I’m just sleepy.” Su Tang’s muffled voice floated out.
“You’re tired so soon?” Chi Shuyan feigned surprise as he asked Su Tang.
“Can’t I be tired from learning?” Su Tang knew that Chi Shuyan was teasing him, and he panicked. However, since he’d already said that before, he couldn’t go back on his words, hence he could only press on ahead.
“That’s quite tiring.” Chi Shuyan almost burst out laughing. After all, this was such a “powerful” reason. He predicted that Su Tang probably didn’t even know the subjects of the books that he was reading tonight.
“I’ll go to sleep then.” After saying this, Su Tang hastily got up, then ignored the stack of books as he strode back to his bed, shook the slippers off his two tiny feet, then covered the blanket over his head and tried to sleep.
His eyes were shut tightly. He didn’t bother to look at other things. The weather was still warm and he was rather nervous, hence after a short while, he was already perspiring profusely. Furthermore, his mouth and nose were covered by the blanket, and when he breathed out the hot air, it would immediately spread over his face, adding another layer of heat.
He couldn’t take it anymore, so he could only pop his head out slightly. However, that wasn’t cooling enough, so he secretly uncovered his feet too. Then, when Chi Shuyan wasn’t looking, he discreetly raised his leg up to let the hot air dissipate.
He didn’t want to be like this too, but he dug his own grave, so he had to follow through regardless. Moreover, Chi Shuyan was packing up on the other side, but he had specially turned in his direction, so he felt as though he had to bear with it, otherwise he would have lost.
Su Tang didn’t know where these childish thoughts came from. Under normal circumstances, he would surely think there was something wrong with his brain. However, in this situation, once he was immersed, he felt that he was rather normal.
Thus, Su Tang unilaterally started this competition.
Chi Shuyan was laughing all the way. When he returned both their books to their places and walked towards Su Tang, he couldn’t hold back his laughter anymore.
“Aren’t you feeling warm?” He asked.
“......” Su Tang didn’t answer. His eyes didn’t even move.
“Stop this. Can you not wrap yourself in the blanket?”
“......” Su Tang continued to remain silent.
“Are you asleep? Let me pull away the blanket for you then.” After saying this, Chi Shuyan acted as though he was really going to do it, but just before he reached the side of the bed, Su Tang finally couldn’t resist speaking up.
He lied, “I’m not warm.”
“Oh,” Chi Shuyan didn’t leave his side because of this. He continued to move, then suddenly cried out, “Oh no! I’ve sprained my back!”
When Su Tang heard this, he knew that the other party was lying, but he still couldn’t resist and took a peek. True enough, Chi Shuyan was still smiling. Where was the look of pain that came with a sprained back?
However, he wasn’t angry. He even heaved a sigh of relief, then asked, “And so?”
“And so, I can’t get back to my bed.” Once Chi Shuyan said this, Su Tang had a bad premonition.
True enough, Chi Shuyan continued, “Are you willing to take me in for one night?”
Su Tang opened his eyes and stared at the other party. He didn’t know what he was thinking then, but it was as though he was under a spell. He actually nodded in agreement.
He immediately regretted it though, but Chi Shuyan had already swiftly turned off the lights, pulled the covers open, and climbed onto his bed.
The school bed wasn’t too wide. It was comfortable for one person, but slightly squeezy for two. In order to make way for him, Su Tang had to lie on his side.
However, he turned to face the wall, and not towards Chi Shuyan.
“Hurry up and sleep.” He urged him quickly, but Chi Shuyan pushed himself against him.
Both of them weren’t wearing a lot of clothes, hence their skins were in contact right now. Su Tang didn’t expect this to happen, so he was in a daze when Chi Shuyan hugged him.
The familiar scent enveloped him, together with the smell of hormones. Su Tang only felt dizzy. He couldn’t breathe properly, and all he could do was to feel the warmth that Chi Shuyan passed to him, as well as the latter’s strong heartbeat.
Both of them didn’t say anything, nor did they do anything else. Chi Shuyan’s hands didn’t stray. It stayed limply on his waist. Chi Shuyan was actually as nervous as Su Tang. All his muscles were tense, and he didn’t even dare to move.
Even so, he still felt strangely satisfied. He could only touch a small patch of skin, but he would meticulously feel it.
During this time, both of them said nothing, as they listened to each other’s heartbeats and breathing. Then, they both felt that the air was getting warm, filled with each other’s scents.
“It’s quite warm.” After some time, Su Tang said quietly.
“I feel it too.” Chi Shuyan nodded, but his arm was still hugging the other person, and he only moved his lower body by a small bit.
He was greedy. Initially, he thought that he would be satisfied if he could hug the other person, but when he really managed to do so, he couldn’t bear to release him. He wanted to hug him longer. Just one second more, and then, when countless seconds had passed, he was still thinking the same thing.
“That’s better.” Su Tang whispered again, “Goodnight.”
“Good…” Chi Shuyan stopped in his greeting, then said in an unbelievable voice, “You… I thought that you’d chase me away.”
“......” Su Tang was reminded by him, hence he quickly said, “Then you should go.”
When Chi Shuyan heard this, he really wanted to give himself two tight slaps.
