He wanted to try to get close to Jiang Yu, hold his hand, hug him, and kiss him.

Jiang Yu stared at Li Ying for a while, as if thinking silently, then he blinked: “Where?”

Li Ying was silent for a while, then raised his hand to point out the location for him. Then he saw Jiang Yu licking it there and raised his hand to wipe it again.

“Are there any more?” Jiang Yu asked.

Li Ying looked away, stood up, coughed lightly twice, and realised that it was really impossible to discuss issues with drunks in a serious manner.

“It’s gone.” Li Ying said.

“Oh.” Jiang Yu nodded, looking “relaxed”.

Then he supported the table and stood up slowly: “Then let’s go home; it’s getting dark.”

Li Ying saw that his movements were steady, so he didn’t rush to help him, but in the next second, he saw Jiang Yu staggering two steps. Li Ying hurried to help him. Jiang Yu grabbed him instinctively, followed by his footsteps, and staggered into Li Ying’s arms.

His head hit Li Ying’s chin, accompanied by a sudden attack of pain. Li Ying smelled a nice scent of shampoo. Then Jiang Yu’s soft hair rubbed back and forth twice between his chin and the tip of his nose.

It was a little itchy.

Li Ying took a step back and pulled him out when the door of the box was pushed open from the outside.

Jiang Meng walked in, glanced at the drunk Jiang Yu, walked up to the two of them, and said to Li Ying, “They want to sing; do you want to go?”

After a slight pause, she stretched out her hand to pick Jiang Yu: “Give him to me; I will ask my dad to send him back.”

Li Ying was clasping one of Jiang Yu’s wrists to prevent Jiang Yu from falling, but he let go without saying anything. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yu suddenly grabbed his hand in the next second and took the opportunity to avoid Jiang Meng’s claws.

The siblings looked at each other, Jiang Yu looked away in disgust, and then drunkenly said to Li, “Don’t pay attention to her; let’s go back.”

Jiang Meng: “…”

Jiang Meng and Li Ying looked at each other silently; the latter pondered for a while and suggested, “How about I send him back?”

“…It’s okay.” For some reason, Jiang Meng felt that this scene was a bit awkward. Probably because she knew too much, and she didn’t know if Li Yingzhi knew that she knew.

After a while, Jiang Meng confirmed: Then, after sending Jiang Yu off, will you go to the singing party again?”

“It might be a bit late.” Li Ying glanced at his watch and said, “I won’t go there; you guys have fun.”

“Ok.” Jiang Meng nodded as expected and glanced at Jiang Yu again; the latter noticed her gaze and squinted over.

The siblings stared wide-eyed for two seconds, and Jiang Meng responded to Li Ying: “Then I’ll leave Jiang Yu to you.”

……

It was past 10 o’clock when they left the restaurant. The restaurant was not far from Jiang’s house; a normal person could walk for about a few minutes to reach there.

Jiang Yu drank alcohol today, so his pace was a bit slow. Fortunately, he was not very drunk, and he was able to follow, tugging on Li Ying’s sleeve steadily by himself.

The drunk Jiang Yu was not fussy at all; Li Ying just walked slowly with him. A gust of evening wind came and blew on the faces of the two of them, making the night a little more gentle.

When walking halfway, Jiang Yu suddenly stopped, and Li Ying looked at him sideways and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Jiang Yu let go of his sleeve, and Li Ying’s sleeve was clenched with small creases.

“Sore hands.” Jiang Yu said.

Li Ying couldn’t help laughing; the drunk Jiang Yu seemed to be a little more coquettish than usual, so he felt that the other party seemed to be acting like a spoiled child to him.

Li Ying was about to say “Then I’ll lead you away”, but before he raised his hand, Jiang Yu took a step faster than him.

He drooped his eyelids and raised his arms with a tired face, saying, “You pull me.”

Li Ying lowered his gaze, landed on his outstretched palm, paused for a moment, then raised his hand to hold his thin wrist.

It didn’t feel good to be grabbed by the wrist by someone, especially Jiang Yu’s character, who didn’t like to be restrained; it always felt like being shackled by someone without freedom.

He looked at Li Ying, who was grabbing his wrist, and wriggled twice in dissatisfaction.

Li Ying had no choice but to let go of him, raise his wrist, and discuss with him: “Then you grab me, is it okay?”

Jiang Yu nodded, half-drunk, and said, “Yeah.”

Then he raised his hand to hold Li Ying’s palm.

Jiang Yu’s hand was a little smaller than his, and it was soft in the palm of his hand. Li Ying was stunned, and his fingertips just touched the other’s clear joints.

Seeing him pause in place, Jiang Yu flicked his wrist, signalling him to continue walking.

They were walking on the small path by the side of the road, and Li Ying lowered his gaze sideways and sized him up for a while. He knew that Jiang Yu just wanted to use his strength to stand, not to mention that drunk people are irrational and it is not unusual for them to do anything.

But he still couldn’t help thinking about it, and some selfish thoughts couldn’t help gushing out inch by inch with the temperature between his palms.

He could feel that Jiang Yu didn’t reject his approach and had even begun to get used to getting close to him, whether it was from their daily chats or their behaviours when they came into contact.

He knew that Jiang Yu’s personality was a bit lazy, and he probably wouldn’t be so close to many people. So in Jiang Yu’s mind, would he be a little bit special? Could he also try to get closer to him?

In the past, Li Ying had fantasised about this kind of thought very occasionally, but never was it clearer than this time.

He clearly felt that he had become a little greedy, and he didn’t want to stop being good friends with him.

He wanted to try to get close to Jiang Yu; he wanted to hold his hand again; he wanted to hug him; and wanted… a little more.

If…

Jiang Yu really couldn’t accept it; he would choose to retreat to the original position and keep a distance from him.

Li Ying thought so.

Under the night wind, he felt the warmth of another person in his palm and felt his own heart beating warmly and vividly because of some despicable thought.

Want to own a certain someone.

……

It took them nearly half an hour to complete the few minutes of walking.

When the two stood at the door of Jiang Yu’s house, Li Ying asked, “Where is the key?”

Jiang Yu pondered slightly, then shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”

Although his articulation was not very clear, his thinking was very clear.

The two looked at each other, and for a moment, Li Ying was a little curious about how drunk he was and whether his consciousness was blurred or sober.

Looking at each other a few times, Li Ying raised his chin and said softly, “Try to see if it’s in your pocket.”

Jiang Yu touched his pocket obediently and looked at him after touching it, but did not make any action.

Li Ying could hear the sound of the key.

It seemed that he was really drunk.

Thinking of this, Li Ying raised his hand and touched the key in his pocket.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu touched his pocket again, then frowned unhappily and asked, “Why are you taking my things?”

Li Ying took the key to open the door, heard the words, and glanced over. When he saw his expression, he couldn’t help laughing and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll return it to you after I use it.”

Jiang Yu didn’t follow him; he didn’t grab the key from Li Ying’s hand, but he imitated the other party, touched his pocket, and took out Li Ying’s car key. He took a look at the car keys, seemed quite satisfied, and put them in his pocket.

Li Ying opened the door, and after entering the house, he made Jiang Yu drink some milk to get a hangover. After drinking, Jiang Yu consciously went back to the room; he seemed to be extremely sleepy, his eyelids were drooping all the time, and he started to take off his clothes as soon as he entered the room.

The curtains of the room were still wide open. Li Ying walked in immediately, frowned quickly when he saw this, walked over with big strides, and pulled the curtains shut.

He didn’t look back after pulling and stood silently with his back to Jiang Yu for a while until he heard the sound of him going to bed.

After a while, Li Ying turned around slowly after confirming that he would not see anything he shouldn’t see. He saw the clothes scattered on the ground, and Jiang Yu had already wrapped himself tightly in the quilt.

Li Ying picked up the clothes for him one by one, put them on the small sofa next to him, then took out his keys from his coat pocket, took one of the dormitory keys, and stuffed the rest back.

After finishing these, he walked to Jiang Yu’s bedside.

Originally, Jiang Yu had already closed his eyes, but upon hearing the sound, he opened his sleepy eyes and looked at him. He was really sleepy, and he yawned lazily, with a little moisture at the end of his eyes.

“Good night.” Jiang Yu said and closed his eyes.

Li Ying couldn’t help laughing. How did he manage to have no sense of defense at all?

“Good night.” Li Ying also replied softly.

Not long after he finished speaking, Jiang Yu became silent. Li Ying looked at his face with most of the quilt exposed, his eyelashes trembling slightly in his sleep, and his soft lips exhaled gently.

He indeed fell asleep.

Li Ying slowly looked at him a few times.

Jiang Yu’s hair was slightly glowing and looked a little soft. Li Ying immediately thought of the soft, slightly itchy touch on the tip of his nose.

He stretched out his hand and gently stroked the hair sticking out on the pillow.

It was really soft.

He heard from an old man that a boy with soft hair has a soft heart.

Will he be soft-hearted towards him?

……

At noon the next day, Jiang Yu woke up from dizziness.

This was the first time he got drunk, and he felt good last night. His mind was light, and he felt like he could fly when he walked.

As a result, when he woke up today, his head felt heavy, like he had two heads.

Jiang Yu patted his head with a headache; his stomach growled with hunger, and he got up from the bed.

After washing up, when he picked up his phone and was about to go out for food, he saw a message from Li Ying.

[Li Ying: Are you awake?]

[Li Ying: If you have a headache, drink some milk.]

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows involuntarily and typed:

[Jiang Yu: I just woke up.]

[Jiang Yu: I’m starving to death; I’m going out to eat noodles.]

Li Ying responded quickly.

[Li Ying: I didn’t eat either.]

[Li Ying: Check to see if my car key is with you.]

[Jiang Yu: Huh? What car key?]

[Li Ying: Yesterday you took my car key away.

[Li Ying: You didn’t give it back to me.]

[Jiang Yu:…]

Jiang Yu put down his phone and searched for a while. He first searched around on the bed, then on the floor, and then remembered the pockets of his clothes.

He picked up the dirty clothes on the chair and felt, and sure enough, there was a key.

[Jiang Yu: I found it; it’s in my pocket.]

[Jiang Yu: Do you want to use it now?]

[Jiang Yu: I’ll bring it to you.]

[Li Ying: No, I’ll come to you.]

[Li Ying: Let’s have dinner together, by the way.]

[Jiang Yu: Okay, do you want to eat noodles?]

[Li Ying: Anything is fine.]

So Jiang Yu sent Li Ying the address of the noodle shop he was planning to go to.

Not long after Jiang Yu sat down, Li Ying arrived.

The sun was good today. Jiang Yu propped his chin, waiting boredly, when he saw Li Ying walking in with the sun behind his back.

He was dressed very casually today; you could tell at a glance that he was a college student.

Jiang Yu couldn’t help but click his tongue when he saw it, wondering why he was so handsome. Jiang Meng can’t do anything else, but her eyesight is quite good. It’s quite a feat to take such a handsome guy out for a walk.

After entering the noodle shop, Li Ying saw Jiang Yu immediately. He walked to the table and saw Jiang Yu staring in his direction in a daze.

“What’s wrong?” Li Ying asked.

Jiang Yu sat up, took out the key from his pocket, and threw it to him: “You look handsome.”

Li Ying just took his seat; when he heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at him, raising his eyebrows slightly. His eyes were thoughtful.

Jiang Yu didn’t see it: “I ordered their signature dish for you; try it; it’s very delicious.”

“Okay.” Li Ying.

Jiang Yu said again: “If I had known that I would be so drunk yesterday, I wouldn’t have drank.”

“Did you drink milk?” Li Ying said, “It can relieve the hangover.”

“No, I’m not thirsty; I’m starving to death.” Jiang Yu spoke weakly.

Li Ying glanced at him and said, “There is a supermarket next door; I’ll go buy it.”

Only then did Jiang Yu look at him and say, “No, I don’t want to drink milk.”

As he spoke, he took out a pair of chopsticks, bit them in his mouth, and said word by word, “I’m-so-hungry.”

Fortunately, after he howled twice, the noodles came up, and Jiang Yu immediately rolled up a large chopstick of noodles and stuffed it into his mouth.

After Jiang Yu took a few mouthfuls to fill his stomach, he immediately recovered a lot of vitality.

He bit a small steak and said, “I was going to have a barbecue with my classmates last night.”

Li Ying glanced at him, finished eating the noodles on the chopsticks, and asked, “Then why didn’t you go?”

Jiang Yu took a sip of the delicious broth, licked his lips, and then looked up at him and said, “Because of you.”

His tone was casual, but he didn’t know that the person opposite was startled.

Jiang Yu rolled up a chopstick noodle playfully again and said with a smile, “You had supervised me for a week, so I must let you see the results.”

After a slight pause, he said again: “I said I got well early, but you still didn’t believe me.”

Li Ying couldn’t help laughing, then took a sip of the drink at hand and asked, “Then do you still want to eat barbecue?”

Jiang Yu raised his head, and before he could speak, Li Ying said again: “Zhao Wen asked me to have a barbecue tonight; do you want to go together?”

“Just you two?” Jiang Yu asked.

“Well.” Li Ying said, “Just the two of us.”

Jiang Yu thought for a while: “…Ok.”

“Ok, then I’ll tell him.” Li Ying took out his mobile phone, and when he looked up, he saw that there was only half a bowl of bare noodles left in Jiang Yu’s bowl.

“Do you want small ribs?” Li Ying asked him.

Jiang Yu bit the small rib in his mouth and said vaguely, “No, I’m almost full.”

Li Ying hummed: “It’s too much; I can’t eat it.”

Jiang Yu glanced into his bowl; there were indeed many small ribs.

“You don’t like it?” Jiang Yu asked.

“En, I don’t like it much.” Li Ying pushed the bowl over and said, “You can eat it.”

As he said that, he picked up his phone and looked at it.

Jiang Yu hesitated a little; he had actually eaten enough, but he seemed to be able to eat two more.

He licked the remaining deliciousness on his lips. “Then I will take two?”

Li Ying hummed, seeing him stretch out his chopsticks; the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and then clicked into Zhao Wen’s WeChat.

[Li Ying: I’m free tonight.]

[Li Ying: Are you going to have barbecues?]

[Zhao Wen: Why are you suddenly free?]

[Zhao Wen: Didn’t you say you’re going to have a family dinner tonight?]

[Li Ying: I drank a little too much last night, so I didn’t go back.]

[Li Ying: I had dinner with Jiang Yu.]

[Li Ying: I will bring him together.]

[Zhao Wen: Okay, I haven’t seen him for a long time.]

[Li Ying: Well, see you tonight.]

[Zhao Wen: *OK*.]
