Although Zhang Lingyi was an idiot, his fine upbringing nevertheless allowed him to be a good host when a guest was staying over. There was usually no one living in the house so he couldn't find any fruit, but he found a pile of snacks, biscuits, sweets and dried meat. He didn't want to place them on the table since that would only take up space, so he directly heaped them all on the floor.

Zhang Lingyi was afraid that Wang Guangning would be cold as there was no heating in the south and the temperature indoors was quite low. Hence, he then found a fluffy blanket for Wang Guangning to wrap himself with.

As a result, when Zhang Lingyi walked into the study room after hurriedly finishing everything, he discovered that Wang Guangning had moved the low desk next to the French window. He had sunk into the sofa he was sitting in and was lazily leaning against the window. The blanket was bundled across his knees and there was a heavy pile of snacks on the ground.

It was obviously supposed to be a scene that would cause people to feel envy and hatred. However, when Zhang Lingyi's eyes fell upon this, it transformed into a scene of a fair little pig that was wrapped in a blanket and encircled by snacks. His expression was especially happy!

The only flaw in the otherwise perfect picture was that the little pig was too thin.

Two hands clutching his chest, Zhang Lingyi stared at the Wang little pig, lost in thought.

He was too immersed and completely didn't notice that he had been staring at the scene in front of him for a long time. Finally, Wang Guangning couldn't stand it any further and fiercely turned his head, "Zhang Lingyi! Have you seen enough?"

Zhang Lingyi only laughed and eagerly ran over, stubbornly wanting to be by Wang Guangning's side.

After a while.

"Shou shou, I want to eat beef jerky. Ah—" Zhang Lingyi read English while opening his mouth wide, waiting for Wang Guangning to feed him.

Pursing his lips, Wang Guangning stripped a small piece of beef jerky and threw it into Zhang Lingyi's mouth.

Again, after a while.

"Shou shou, I want to eat biscuits. Ah—"

Did Zhang Lingyi become addicted to playing this?

Narrowing his eyes impatiently, Wang Guangning dropped something into his mouth.

"Ah——pei¹——ke ke ke²——"Zhang Lingyi had chewed a few times only to find that something was not quite right. Face changing colour, he quickly spat it out as he choked to the point that he was flushing, "What did you give me to eat?"

sound of Zhang Lingyi spitting the food out.

coughing noises.

The green dots that he had spat onto the tissue looked particularly suspicious.

Smiling sinisterly, Wang Guangning replied, "Wasabi."

He shook the bag of wasabi peanuts that was in his hand. As it turned out, he had peeled off the outer layer of wasabi on the peanut. Wang Guangning had eaten the peanut himself, then thrown all the peeled off wasabi into Zhang Lingyi's mouth.

Tearing up, Zhang Lingyi picked up a glass of water and drank a big gulp, "Shou shou, how can you do this."

Wang Guangning said coldly, "Can you go find another place to stay and stop annoying me?" He estimated that if he continued staying in the same room as Zhang Lingyi, he wouldn't be able to read a single book even in half a day.

Zhang Lingyi finally realised his mistake, however, he refused to move out of the study and said brazenly, "Shou shou, I'll go to a corner. I guarantee I won't annoy you."

After finishing speaking, he really did grab his books and moved compliantly to the corner of the room opposite Wang Guangning. With a pitiful expression on his face, Zhang Lingyi looked towards Wang Guangning and blinked his eyes.

Wang Guangning snorted then ignored him.

Then the two finally settled down for a while.

❖

For dinner that night, Zhang Lingyi called for takeaway and Wang Guangning also stayed behind since there was no one else apart from them present. Wang Guangning didn't object as the environment here was much more suitable for revising than at the campus so he agreed to stay.

After dinner, Zhang Lingyi took out a set of his own pyjamas and a new pair of underwear to give to Wang Guangning to use after he had showered. While Wang Guangning was in the bathroom, he went outside to throw away their rubbish and then came back inside to clean up the guest room for Wang Guangning.

Just as he finished cleaning up the guest room, Wang Guangning also finished showering. Wang Guangning walked out from the bathroom with his hair wet, water dripping onto the floor. While rubbing his hair, he said, "Zhang Lingyi, I've finished showering. You can go now."

Wang Guangning and Zhang Lingyi's height were quite similar so the pyjamas Zhang Lingyi gave him fit very well. Walking leisurely into the living room, Wang Guangning turned on the TV. He had read for an entire afternoon so he needed to have a rest.

However, Zhang Lingyi did not go to have a shower. Eyes bright, he ran eagerly into the master bedroom then came out a while later. Running eagerly back out with an object in his hand, he said, " Shou shou, since there is such a lovely romantic surrounding and it is rare that we are both alone in a room, we must continue our great cause of pretending to be gay!"

The hand that Wang Guangning was using to rub his hair shook and he lifted his head, only to find Zhang Lingyi holding a hair dryer with his eyes glittering as he stared at Wang Guangning's...wet hair. It was only then that Wang Guangning recalled one of the things that couples must do together...

Help each other to rub and blow-dry their hair, lie on each other's leg while watching TV, and order the other to feed you food.

Ah, this cliff he had been forced against was a premeditated plan by Zhang Lingyi!

Feeling as if he had been completely defeated by the other, Wang Guangning reluctantly put down the towel in his hand. Nodding stiffly with a tragic expression, he said, "Then come over."

Cheering, Zhang Lingyi plugged the hair dryer into the power source. Recalling the movements of the brothers at the hair salon, he adopted their posture while positioning the air outlet at Wang Guangning's hair.

Wang Guangning hadn't trimmed his hair in a while so it was slightly long, and neither soft nor coarse. Even though Zhang Lingyi fiddled deliberately for a long time, there was truly not much he could do with a man's hair. Above all, Wang Guangning's hair style was so concise and not even a little bit fancy so when he blow-dried it, there was no particular sense of accomplishment.

Furthermore, Wang Guangning was very evidently impatient.

"Zhang Lingyi, do you dare to worsen your technique further? Stop blow-drying my eyes..."

"Zhang Lingyi, are you trying to take this opportunity to burn off my hair? ! !"

Fortunately, it quickly blown dry.

As soon as his hair was dry, Wang Guangning decisively grabbed the hair dryer from Zhang Lingyi's hands, "Alright, alright. You should quickly go and shower."

Zhang Lingyi obviously had found it immensely enjoyable and he unwillingly curled his lips, not wanting to give up, "Shou shou, wait for me. I'll go and wash my hair for you to blow."

Zhang Lingyi did exactly what he said he would and ran out of the bathroom after his shower, his hair still wet as he said excitedly, "Shou shou, quickly blow-dry my hair."

Wang Guangning was speechless as he stared at Zhang Lingyi's hair which was continuously dripping water. In the end, he couldn't restrain himself from rolling his eyes, "Zhang Lingyi, can you be an even bigger idiot?"

Even though Wang Guangning said that, he still pulled Zhang Lingyi to sit on the sofa. Grabbing a towel, he used it to rub Zhang Lingyi's hair so that water didn't drip anymore.

Zhang Lingyi was still feeling a bit unwilling, "Ah, shou shou, don't rub my hair too much. Otherwise, when you blow-dry it later, it'll dry very fast."

Unable to stand it any longer, Wang Guangning leaned over and pulled the collar of his pyjamas, "Don't you see that you've made your clothes wet?"

Zhang Lingyi shrugged indifferently, "Don't worry. It will my clothes' honour to respectfully sacrifice itself for our great cause of being gay!"

Wang Guangning stared at the tragic collar and decided to give up trying to communicate with Zhang Lingyi.

Wang Guangning technique of blow-drying hair was a bit better compared to Zhang Lingyi. At least, he didn't move the hair dryer too close and make people feel like their hair was being burned, nor did he blow directly at other people's eyes or ears. However, he spent quite a long time using the blow-dryer since he also had to dry Zhang Lingyi's collar.

When Wang Guangning had finally finished, Zhang Lingyi even tried to curry to favour by showing deference, "Shou shou, you blow really well. I think you can go to a hair salon and get a part time job and blow-dry people's hair professionally."

Wang Guangning used the hair dryer to knock his head, "Get lost, go and put everything back."

Zhang Lingyi cheerfully took the hair dryer to put it back in its originally place. When he came back, he saw Wang Guangning sitting on the sofa with the remote control in his hand, constantly changing the stations.

"Shou shou, I'm coming!" Zhang Lingyi ran over to the sofa but then tripped, his head falling directly on Wang Guangning's thigh.

Wang Guangning had never been so close to anyone and the muscles on his thigh trembled as he subconsciously kicked Zhang Lingyi away.

"Ah——" Zhang Lingyi yelled, his head nearly falling directly onto the ground. Fortunately, his body was still half on the sofa so his head didn't completely reach the floor. Since it was like this, he had also been frightened and his face was deathly pale.

Wang Guangning was also shocked and he quickly helped Zhang Lingyi lift his head back onto the sofa. Gasping for breath, Zhang Lingyi climbed up, feeling as if he had been given a new lease on life. With an expression of having been terrified out of his wits, Zhang Lingyi said, "Shou shou, are you trying to kill me?"

Wang Guangning was also a bit embarrassed, but he couldn't help but feel some anger, "Who told you to suddenly lie on my thigh?"

Hearing this, Zhang Lingyi adopted an expression of grievance, "If I don't lie on your thigh, then our task for today won't be completed."

After saying this, he seemed to realise something and he asked with wide eyes, "Or is it that you want to lie on my thigh, shou shou?"

Wang Guangning felt as if there was blood stuck in his throat, unable to be spat out. Angrily sitting back down, he stared at the TV screen and ignored him.

Zhang Lingyi hesitantly glanced at Wang Guangning's black face, not understanding what he did to make the other so furious.

He sighed. Ah, Wang Guangning had a really bad temper!

Zhang Lingyi silently calculated in his heart. If he couldn't achieve his plan, then should he try coaxing Wang Guangning?

Then he saw Wang Guangning staring at him from the corner of his eye. His ears were slightly red and he spoke with his voice stifled, "Still not lying down?"

Eyes brightening, Zhang Lingyi felt as if he had resurrected and all his blood had been replenished. In a particularly bashful manner, he laid down on Wang Guangning's thigh, not forgetting to curry favour, "Shou shou, your thigh is really comfortable..."

"Lie down quietly and watch TV, don't speak so much nonsense." Wang Guangning's thigh was slightly stiff and even the actions of his hands weren't so nimble as he randomly switched channels, "Hey, what do you want to watch?"

Zhang Lingyi was lying down side ways on Wang Guangning's thigh and he said in a depressed voice, "Ah, I've discovered that watching TV in this position is really uncomfortable!"

Wang Guangning sneered, "Bullshit, how can it not be comfortable when lying down and watching TV." Who told you to treat that idiotic guide as a canonical text.

Pursing his lips, Zhang Lingyi once again began to command Wang Guangning, "Shou shou, I want to eat snacks. You go and get it."

Wang Guangning: "......"

Seeing that Wang Guangning did not move, Zhang Lingyi was dissatisfied, "Shou shou, you're not following that guide."

Wang Guangning finally couldn't help but violently get up and grab the checked pillow next to him and wrap it around Zhang Lingyi's head, "You idiot! Enough is enough!"

Zhang Lingyi's limbs immediately responded as he tried to struggle for forgiveness.

Hence, the evening ended like this, amidst the fooling and messing around.

❖

The next morning, the two once again revised their books for a while before eating lunch and hurrying back to school.

Taking into account that the library and self-study hall probably had no seats left, Wang Guangning returned directly back to his dormitory.

At the end of the semester, their dormitory was always quiet. Therefore, he didn't think that there would even be anyone inside.

He absolutely hadn't thought, that the person inside would actually be...

Wang Guangning's character was quite good, so he interacted just fine with the other dorm mates. Also, his relationship with Sun Siyang was even better as they were close friends.

However, this person called Li Sihong had always inexplicably been on disagreeable terms with Wang Guangning. Usually, he would be quite indifferent to him, except for when sleeping at night which he would find an excuse to leave the dorm if Wang Guangning was present.

Although Wang Guangning was baffled, but since the other didn't try to attack him, he didn't take it to heart. The main reason though, was that they didn't really have any chances to communicate anyway.

Therefore, Wang Guangning also had not thought he would one day see Li Sihong...masturbating.

He was sitting on his chair facing his computer screen, with his body arching back and an unusual flush across his face. He would gasp for breath intermittently while unceasingly moving his right hand up and down.

Wang Guangning's first thought turned out to be—

Wow, he didn't expect that cold as frost Li classmate would have such a...

He coughed...such an intoxicated expression.

En, Li classmate's posture was very standard. It seemed that he must have practiced often to be so familiar.

Alas, he was unfortunately unable to see the real thing so he had no way of accurately making a judgement on Li classmate's size.

As the other reached for the light, several thoughts flashed through Wang Guangning's heart as he wondered whether or not he should retreat quietly.

However, Li Sihong had also discovered him.

His expression which had originally been deeply engrossed in lust instantly changed to shock. His hands also halted their actions, and his eyes which had always shelf such a lack of regard also reflected a manner of being at a complete loss.

Originally, Wang Guangning thought that men being self-reliant was normal matter. He had also accidentally stumbled on Sun Siyang doing this several times, however, everyone had just laughed and passed on.

Therefore, upon seeing Li Sihong revealing such a wounded expression, Wang Guangning was also a bit surprised and he said in embarrassment, "Ah, that, you continue."

And then, he fled the dormitory, not daring to look at Li Sihong's face.

He wandered aimlessly around the campus; it was near the end of the term so everyone was inside, hence why the university grounds were absolutely empty. The handsome Wang xiao cao walked lifelessly around for a half a day before finally recovering.

Ah, god. What was all this about?

Wang Guangning stared speechlessly at the heavens.

He had always thought Li Sihong disliked him, to the point of that he disappeared whenever Wang Guangning was present in their dorm.

Then how come just then, he saw his own picture on Li Sihong's computer?

That's right. Although it was only a brief glance, when Li Sihong turned his head back to reach for the light, Wang Guangning had indeed seen a picture of himself during the freshmen military training on the other's computer.

Why was Li Sihong masturbating to a picture of him?

Could it be that the reason Li Sihong had always been so cold to him before was because he was unable to open his mouth and speak due to the feeling in his heart?

Wang Guangning couldn't help but shiver.

Although he always had great confidence in his charm, that was limited to his female friends!

He felt that he had received an internal injury.
