In the quiet darkness, time passed by every minute and every second. The two of them were not talkative people, and they had nothing to talk about.

After a while, Jiang Yu’s impatient temper became a little restless. He held Li Ying’s finger and played with it on his wrist, and the pad of his thumb even rubbed the back of his hand unconsciously.

Li Ying didn’t move; he just let him play like this.

After a while, Jiang Yu seemed to be tired of playing, so he stopped.

After another moment of silence, Jiang Yu probably felt hungry and licked his lips. He stood close to Li Ying’s side, and the sound of him licking his lips rang so clearly in Li Ying’s ears.

In the darkness, where vision is blocked, hearing is infinitely magnified.

Li Ying closed his eyes; his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down twice, and he exhaled lightly.

After a while, Li Ying asked, “Are you hungry? There is a restaurant you like nearby, and I will take you there later.”

His voice was very soft, with a hint of coaxing.

“En, sort of.” Jiang Yu said, “I just drank a cup of milk tea today; now I’m too tired; I’m a little thirsty.”

After being bored for too long, he talked too much: “Actually, I don’t really like drinking milk tea. My sister likes to drink it, so I drink it with her every time she drinks it.”

“Hmm.” Li Ying replied in a low voice.

After a while, he asked again: “Then what do you like to drink?”

“Me?” Jiang Yu casually said, “Sports drink.”

“Good.” Li Ying said.

Hearing this, Jiang Yu laughed: “You made me realise the feeling I had when I was a child.”

Jiang Yu said, “My parents would spoil me so much only when I was sick when I was young. Apart from this, they would think that I am a boy and should be raised rough.”

After being quiet for a long time, Li Ying said, “It’s very good of you; all the students in our class who have seen you have praised you.”

After a short pause, he added, “You’re cool and handsome.”

Hearing this, Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows and curled his lips slightly: “Well, it’s not bad.”

Li Ying also smiled.

Time passed quickly during the chat, and Jiang Yu heard hurried footsteps and urging sounds from outside the elevator. They were probably Li Ying’s classmates who came with the property manager.

It didn’t take long for them to flounder outside before the elevator door was safely opened. Jiang Yu couldn’t wait to go out and stretch his muscles and bones. Only then did he feel that the air outside was indeed much fresher.

Li Ying followed closely behind him, looked at Jiang Yu for a while after going out, and then turned his attention to the property staff, who were hesitantly apologising to them.

This matter could be big or small; the people in the property management had repeatedly promised them that they would give a reasonable explanation and absolutely avoid other people being trapped next time.

The people present were all ordinary staff, and Li Ying didn’t make things difficult for the other party. He just made an appointment to wait for the person in charge to come to the door during working hours to solve the problem.

After a brief discussion, it was nearly 7:30, and Li Ying came here in a hurry and didn’t even have time to finish dinner. So the three of them happened to go to the nearby restaurant that Li Ying mentioned for dinner together.

Qin Yang is one of Li Ying’s classmates.

At the dinner table, the three of them chatted. Qin Yang learned that Jiang Yu belonged to Jiangzhou University and asked him to bring him with him next time he played. He said that since he came here, he hadn’t played for a long time, and he was a bit addicted to the game.

Jiang Yu readily agreed, and the two immediately made an appointment to play together this Saturday.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday afternoon. Jiang Yu and Li Wenhao called up their classmates early, occupied a seat in the gymnasium, and waited for them to come.

When Li Ying and Qin Yang arrived, a group of boys were talking. It was unknown what he said; Jiang Yu had a bright smile on his face, and he was spinning the basketball skillfully in his hands. His movements looked cool and handsome, which attracted many girls nearby to secretly look at him.

“Jiang Yu—” Qin Yang shouted from a distance, instantly attracting the attention of many people.

Jiang Yu turned his head to look, saw them, lightly tossed the ball to Li Wenhao, and trotted over.

He was wearing a basketball uniform, trotted halfway, and walked up to the two of them, saying, “You came.”

“Hmm.” Li Ying looked at him and replied. Whenever Jiang Yu put on the basketball uniform, the whole person would be extraordinarily energetic.

Jiang Yu first greeted Qin Yang, then turned to Li Ying with a smile and raised his chin towards the girls beside him: “Did you see those girls? They were looking at me, but they all looked at you when you walked in.”

After a slight pause, Jiang Yu half-jokingly said, “It seems that Haicheng University’s male god is about to get popular in our Jiangzhou University soon.”

Li Ying smiled when he heard the words, and after a while, he cooperated and said, “No, I don’t need so many people to look at me; one is enough.”

“Oh?” Qin Yang had been his classmate for several years, and it was the first time he heard him say such a thing, and his reaction was a step faster than Jiang Yu’s, “Which one, is it from Jiangzhou University?”

Li Ying looked at Jiang Yu, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said intently, “Right in front of you.”

Matching his eyes, Jiang Yu immediately understood the tease and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Only Qin Yang really looked around twice before he noticed that Li Ying was looking at Jiang Yu and suddenly realised that they were joking.

“Got it.” Jiang Yu said.

The three of them walked back, chatting while walking.

Seemingly thinking that this was quite interesting, Jiang Yu laughed a few times, then glanced at Li Ying and said, “You’re called a teaser, you know?”

……

A group of young boys stayed together, played basketball, talked, and laughed, and the afternoon passed quickly.

After playing, Jiang Yu was feeling really hot. He walked to a place where there were few people, raised his neckline, and wiped the sweat dripping from his cheeks.

With his movements, the hem of his clothes lifted a large piece, and when Li Ying glanced sideways, he happened to see a thin piece of abdominal muscle.

With just one glance, Li Ying quickly turned his eyes away.

And Jiang Yu over there wiped off his sweat and went straight to get water near the auditorium.

There were several girls sitting in the first row of the auditorium, and when Jiang Yu bent down to get water, one of the girls asked him, “Jiang Yu, who is that tall guy you guys played together with?”

Jiang Yu had just finished playing, and his mind was still a little confused. Hearing this, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced, and he saw Li Ying standing alone near the place where a few boys were talking.

He was indeed very tall, and he stood upright, not to mention that handsome face that could be seen from a distance.

Jiang Yu turned around, smiled, and looked at the girls. “Is he handsome?”

“Handsome.” Several girls nodded sincerely. “He’s not from our university, right? I haven’t seen him before.”

“Hmm.” Jiang Yu picked up a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap, and took a few sips before saying, “Haicheng University.”

He was still panting a bit, and after a short pause, he smiled and said, “Haicheng University’s male god.”

Seeing that he was gossiping, one of the girls laughed and said, “Sure enough, handsome guys are surrounded by handsome guys.”

Jiang Yu drank a few more sips of water. After drinking, he was about to speak when the girls in front of him suddenly looked at him excitedly.

Jiang Yu screwed on the bottle cap, turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Li Ying walking towards him.

Jiang Yu turned sideways and was about to tease him when Li Ying, who had just walked up to him, asked, “Is there any water?”

Obviously, the water was right in front of him.

Jiang Yu raised his hand and was about to say, Isn’t it right there?

Li Ying glanced down, landed on the mineral water bottle he raised, and took it with his hand: “Thank you.”

Originally, Jiang Yu’s water had already bottomed out. Li Ying raised his head and poured a few sips in his mouth, and it disappeared in an instant.

At this time, the girls beside them all stared wide-eyed and covered their mouths, looking at each other with suppressed smiles on their faces.

Jiang Yu didn’t care about such small details. Seeing that Li Ying didn’t have enough to drink, he took another bottle for him, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to him.

Li Ying took it and thanked him.

After the two of them got a few bottles of water for others and walked back, a few girls in the audience dared to speak boldly.

“Sure enough, handsome guys are a little bit gay.”

……

Playing basketball consumes a lot of energy. By the time the group left the court, it was already late, and their stomachs were already growling with hunger.

Boys get to know each other quickly, and Jiang Yu’s classmates are all in their early twenties. After a casual discussion, they decided to find a place to have dinner together.

They had just finished playing, and now they were so hungry that they wished they could swallow a cow. After discussing it, they decided to go to the seafood buffet at the university gate.

When several people entered the restaurant, Jiang Yu walked up to Li Ying and whispered in his ear, “This restaurant is not expensive; are you used to this food?”

Li Ying glanced at him and said, “If you are used to this food, I’m used to it too.”

Jiang Yu laughed and couldn’t help saying, “Then you are not as hard to serve as my sister said.”

Li Ying paused slightly. “What did she say about me?”

Jiang Yu met his eyes, blinked, and realised that he might have spoiled his sister’s image in the male god’s mind.

Jiang Yu pondered for a while: “She said that you love to be clean and have a cleanliness obsession.”

“I’m a bit of a clean freak.” Li Ying said.

After a slight pause, he glanced at the other party again and added, “However, it’s also different according to people.”

Just when Jiang Yu was about to ask which people, he was called over by the students in front of him.

The classmates said that they found a big table to sit down on, and everyone went to pick up the buffet one after another; only Jiang Yu was too lazy to move when he sat down at the table.

Seeing Li Wenhao come back with two plates of food, Jiang Yu lifted his chin and said lazily, “Xiao Li, give me a plate.”

“Go away.” Li Wenhao said unceremoniously.

Jiang Yu just said it casually, and after he finished speaking, he stood up like a carp. Just as he was about to go out to get something, Li Ying, who just came back, handed him a plate.

Jiang Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, “What is this called? This is called a real friend!”

After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Li Wenhao and asked, “Did you see?”

Li Wenhao scoffed.

The boys, full of vigour, were eating and drinking at the table until they were half full, and they began to have a leisurely chat. Apart from studying and playing games, the rest of the topics they could talk about were girls and relationship issues.

Li Ying and Jiang Yu are not talkative people, especially since neither of them has much experience in relationships, so they didn’t get involved in this topic much.

Until something was discussed at the table, Li Ying’s classmate Qin Yang suddenly said, “Yes, my classmate is like that.”

He said with a smile and turned to Li Ying, “Really?”

Li Ying put down the fork in his hand and raised his head: “What?”

Qin Yang explained: “They say that every boy is very possessive, and he can’t see his girlfriend or even someone who he likes getting close to other boys. It’s impossible for someone to not mind at all. I said you are the kind of person who would not mind at all, right?”

Li Yingwen paused slightly.

Jiang Yu took a sip of juice and turned to look at him.

After a short pause, Li Ying raised his hand to pick up the juice on the table and said, “Me neither.”

“Huh?” Qin Yang subconsciously let out an unexpected doubt.

Li Ying took a sip of orange juice and explained: “I’m no different; if it’s someone I like, I would mind too; I’ll be possessive.”

He lowered his eyes halfway and smiled faintly: “Even if it shouldn’t be, this kind of thing is quite difficult to control.”

After speaking, he raised his eyes and landed on Jiang Yu. The other party seemed to agree with him, nodding silly.
