Zhang Lingyi received a text from Wang Guangning early in the morning.

≦

Wang Guangning looked at the message sent by Zhang Lingyi for a while and thought that he had finally convinced the other. He didn't expect that after a while, his phone would light up again.

Angry, Wang Guangning quickly replied to him, his fingers typing quickly.

Zhang Lingyi's reply came back fast.

This was definitely a conspiracy!

Wang Guangning had already given up all hope towards this world which was trying to act cute.

Stretching his waist, Wang Guangning got up to have a shower then he headed towards the library with his textbooks.

His own self who was acting crazy with Zhang Lingyi was really too crazy, Wang Guangning felt that he needed to immerse himself in the mathematics world in order to purify his spirit.

It was near the end of the semester so the library was overcrowded.

Wang Guangning finally found a seat and he glanced up, only to find that the one sitting opposite was Luo Zihui.

For such a high level beauty like Luo Zihui, everyone in the campus had heard of but rarely seen. Wang Guangning had met her several times and his impression towards her was not back. Hence, he smiled at her then nodded.

Luo Zihui also smiled, but without revealing her teeth, just like a wise and virtuous woman.

Lowering his head, Wang Guangning proceeded to read. After a while, Luo Zihui handed a note over.

Wang Guangning had a few suspicions. After reading it, the result was that the note said:

Wang Guangning didn't think much of it and handed it directly to her.

Luo Zihui took the phone and fiddled for a bit, then gave it back with an attached note:

It was only now that Wang Guangning realised that he had set a password together with Zhang Lingyi two days ago. At the same time, he also remembered another thing — the wallpaper for his cell was a photo of Zhang Lingyi.

Wang Guangning's heart immediately had an awkward feeling, not knowing what to say. Although a password had been set for his phone, the screen background would still be shown when pressing the keys. Therefore, Luo Zihui must've already seen it just then.

Although he wanted to retaliate against society and hurt the hearts of the other girls, Luo Zihui was different to the rest. After all, she and Zhang Lingyi had quite a close relationship. Just yesterday, he had said that he had once considered dating her. Even though he and Zhang Lingyi were currently pretending to be gay, it couldn't be guaranteed that Zhang Lingyi wouldn't date her in the future.

The more Wang Guangning thought about it, the more unsettled he became. However, seeing Luo Zihui's usual demeanour, she didn't seem to be surprised in the least. His mind calming, Wang Guangning replied to her with another piece of paper:

Luo Zihui smiled then passed the note back:

Wang Guangning drew a few back at her.

Wang Guangning was unable to laugh.

Everyone in F university knew that Wang Guangning and Zhang Lingyi's relationship was like water and fire.

Luo Zihui and Zhang Lingyi's relationship was so good, so how could she not know what Zhang Lingyi's attitude used to be liked towards him? And she even wanted him to give Zhang Lingyi porridge?

Wang Guangning didn't understand Luo Zihui's thoughts.

However, he did not refuse.

At midday, Wang Guangning took the take-away lean meat porridge Luo Zihui bought from the cafeteria to Zhang Lingyi's dorm room.

F University was a newly built campus so the dormitory had the standard quadruple rooms. They were the type of dorms which had the tables below and beds above.

Since it was near the end of the semester, the other people who lived in Zhang Lingyi's dorm were out doing self-study. Hence, Zhang Lingyi was lying alone in the bed reading with his blanket half covering him. Hearing the knock on the door, he shouted lazily, "The door isn't locked, come in."

Wang Guangning pushed open the door and walked inside.

As soon as Zhang Linyi caught sight of Wang Guangning, his eyes brightened and he placed the book aside. Lying on his stomach with his head stretched out to the bedside, he wore a dispirited appearance, "How come you only came now. I've almost died from being sick..."

Finishing his words, he then coughed twice forcefully.

"......" Wang Guangning's entire head was filled with black lines. Ah, this was a child who had immersed himself in the play using his life ~

"Hey, you seem fine." Wang Guangning was speechless. Placing the porridge down on the table, he said, "Luo Zihui asked me to give this porridge to you. You should come down and drink it."

Hearing this, Zhang Lingyi frowned, "You told Luo Zihui?"

Wang Guangning felt the suspicion in Zhang Lingyi's words and he also didn't know how to explain so he replied snappily, "Your roommate told her, I only just met Luo Zihui in the library."

"Oh." Zhang Lingyi finally understood, but then he was puzzled again, "Wait, no. Then shouldn't she ask my roommate to send it to me? How come she asked you?"

Before when he was still in discord with Wang Guangning, he had spoken badly about him many times in front of Luo Zihui. So why would she ask him to bring it?

"How would I know." Wang Guangning shot him a supercilious look. This kind of thing he should ask Luo Zihui, not him.

"Ah, forget it. Let's not think about that anymore." Zhang Lingyi looked up, "But a woman's mind is really difficult to guess." Then he stuck out his head, "Shou shou, bring my laptop up."

Wang Guangning didn't understand, "What for?"

"Ah, of course it's to implement our plan of pretending to be gay." Zhang Lingyi said confidently, "I haven't even said anything to you, shou shou. Ah, no, today you are the gong. Whatever the case, I'm still your boyfriend. I'm even sick, yet you still had the heart to go to the library. My heart is so cold now...I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself, come up."

Wang Guangning's lips twitched. Zhang Lingyi's train of thoughts in his brain was indeed not ordinarily complicated.

He knew that if he was normal, then he should let this matter which was completely lacking in objective to end here. Yet, he didn't know for what reason he faintly was not willing to conclude it prematurely.

Hence, he took the laptop and ended up climbing up onto Zhang Lingyi's bed.

"He he, come on. This young master will give you half the blanket." Zhang Lingyi grinned and received the laptop. Then he shuffled inwards so that half the space of the bed was exposed. The winter blanket was indeed a temptation, especially since Wang Guangning had just come in from outside and his body still carried some chilling air.

Therefore, he bluntly burrowed into Zhang Lingyi's blanket.

The blanket had been used by Zhang Lingyi for an entire morning, so it was very warm inside. When Wang Guangning drilled into it, he suddenly let out a comfortable sigh.

Studying him for a while, Zhang Lingyi then silently gave up half the pillow to him.

"What are you doing?" Wang Guangning couldn't help but ask.

"Finding a movie." Zhang Lingyi placed the laptop on the bed then clicking, he opened one folder after another before finally selecting a movie. Wang Guangning glanced at it — The Love of Siam.

"......"

"I searched on Baidu¹ and it says that this film is a classic for gay men. Who cares about how pure and innocent it is, in any case, we're pretending to be gay. It's only natural that we watch this movie."

Baidu is a search engine used by the Chinese.

"......" Wang Guangning decided to just quietly watch the movie and not further examine Zhang Lingyi's thoughts.

Just when he thought everything had calmed down, Zhang Lingyi's once action frightened him so much he nearly tumbled off the bed.

Zhang Lingyi's head was leaning on his shoulder, especially like a timid and lovable little woman.

"What are you doing?" Wang Guangning finally could not help but push him as he roared furiously.

Feeling wronged, Zhang Lingyi looked at him then removed a piece of paper from behind them. It was that piece of paper written《30 Things Couples Must Do Together》that had pushed them on this road of no return.

He said, "We have to do according to what is written above. When I'm sick, you have to sit beside me in bed and I'll put my head on your chest. We'll watch movies together, and you were originally supposed to feed me medicine and accompany me while I get injections. But actually eating medicine and getting an injection is too foolish, so we'll just lean against each other and watch a movie!"

Isn't what we're doing now very foolish?

Inside, Wang Guangning's soul was weeping.

At that time, why was he so demented to think of doing such a damaging and detrimental activity. Why had he agreed to pretend to be gay with Zhang Lingyi?

If time could be repeated, Wang Guangning would certainly rush back to the day they decided to be gay and not hesitate to kick himself.

Wang Guangning was both annoyed and upset, yet faced with the excited expression in Zhang Lingyi's eyes, he did not end up saying anything.

"Oh~"

Sighing in his heart, Wang Guangning helplessly compromised with him for once, "Then come and lean on me."

"Ye²~", cheered Zhang Lingyi who once again became a 'timid and lovable little woman' as he leaned against Wang Guangning's shoulder.

final particle that indicates enthusiasm.

Ten minutes later.

"Why is the story so slow?" Zhang Lingyi was very impatient.

"......" Wang Guangning was too lazy to care about him, weren't all innocent films like this?

After another ten minutes.

Zhang Lingyi, "Zzz......"

Wang Guangning watched silently as Zhang Lingyi fell asleep with his mouth open. Then, his head dropped slowly from Wang Guangning's shoulder, to his chest, then slipped down to his thigh.

Zhang Lingyi's face was turned slightly up towards Wang Guangning's stomach. Lowering his head, Wang Guangning could just catch sight of his enigmatic facial features, and his dark black lashes which covered his eyes.

The him who had fallen asleep quietly was elegant and not all feminine, instead distinctly appearing quite intelligent. If he didn't open his mouth, he absolutely wouldn't cause other people to think he was stupid.

He was indeed quite a good looking person.

Wang Guangning didn't know why, but he was unexpectedly deeply moved.
