Wang Zehao, who was quite drunk, joked with the people around him while looking at his brother Chen's behavior: "I was just saying, Brother Chen treats my dad so well, it's just a pity that my dad isn't a girl, otherwise I would definitely force them to be a couple."
Zhang Boyuan was drunk. He swayed his head and looked at Gu Chen and Xiang Yu. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "What's wrong with two guys? Two guys can date! Gender doesn't limit true love!" After shouting, he burped. "Tang Yue says that to me every day, which makes her look at my brother Chen and brother Yu strangely. She says that the two classmates are innocent and she insists on pairing them up, but she won't pair me and Boss Tong up."
"Damn it, get lost." Zhang Zitong, who had also drunk quite a bit, laughed and cursed at him.
"Sigh, it's impossible for Chen Ge to have a girlfriend in high school. He's ruined both Haozi and me's dating experience." Yang Shuhuan was a little tipsy and brought up his past. "In junior high, a girl confessed to me. Guess what he did? He told me not to interfere with her studies and threatened to tell my parents."
"Me too!" Wang Zehao yelled, rushed over and hugged Yang Shuhuan. The two brothers shared the same plight, saying, "Back in junior high, when I wasn't fat, he wouldn't let me date. Now, I can't find anyone, sob sob sob."
Gu Chen glanced at them and tossed a peanut shell at them, saying, "What if it interferes with your studies because it's for your own good?"
Jiang Wensong didn't know if he was drunk or not, but his eyes looked much brighter than usual. "Afraid of interfering with other people's studies? Maybe from another perspective, Brother Chen just needs to find someone who is good at studying?"
"A good student?" The group of drunk boys all turned their gazes toward Xu Youqing, who was playing on her phone.
"I think my Sister Xu is perfect. She's the top student in the science class, with great looks and academic achievements. The only downside is that she's aloof!" Wang Zehao shouted, and the next second he got a handful of peanut shells shoved into her face.
"Get lost! I'll beat up anyone who dates my sister!" Xu Youluo was a little tipsy, but not quite drunk. Hearing this, she bared her teeth and brandished her claws, saying, "Hitting people is nothing!"
"What are you talking about?" Xu Youqing seemed genuinely afraid he would make a move, and pulled him over to sit on her other side.
Luo Zai looked aggrieved and buried his face in his sister's neck, feeling uncomfortable.
Xu Youqing turned her head and glanced at the group of boys, noticing her younger brother was upset.
For some reason, the group was startled by the glare, and after a few awkward laughs, they steered the conversation back to the older girls.
Xiang Yu felt a pang of sadness upon hearing them pair Gu Chen with other girls. He had also drunk some alcohol, which made him even more upset. Gu Chen rested her head on his shoulder, her eyes half-closed, looking as if she had fallen asleep.
Xiang Yu felt uncomfortable at the thought of Gu Chen dating other girls in the future, especially since he did have a girl pursuing him right now.
Yang Shuhuan shoved Gu Chen next to him, shaking Gu Chen's arm and calling out, "Brother Chen, Brother Chen?"
"Don't shout, it hurts." Gu Chen waved him away and buried his face in his deskmate's neck.
The hot, moist breath sprayed on his neck, making Xiang Yu shudder and his body stiffen involuntarily.
Yang Shuhuan looked at him with disappointment and felt that he was wasting his good looks. She said angrily, "Can't you stop trying to get close to my brother Yu? Are you secretly in love with my brother Yu all day long?"
The question made Xiangyu's head buzz.
Yes, is it possible that it's myself?
However, what followed was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.
He heard Gu Chen murmur, "Why would I have a crush on my deskmate if I don't have one?"
"..." Xiang Yu felt as if his heart had suddenly emptied.
My mind isn't clear. What am I thinking? Why do I think the other person has a crush on me? They're just being nice to me.
"I'm going to the restroom." Xiang Yu pushed Gu Chen away, waking him up.
Gu Chen, who had just woken up, stared at his deskmate's retreating figure as he closed the door, feeling confused.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, you can go back to sleep." Seeing his reaction, Yang Shuhuan decided not to continue the conversation.
Xiang Yu washed her face in the bathroom and stared at her red-eyed reflection in the mirror.
His hair was wet, flat and dripping water, making him look extremely disheveled.
He tried to adjust his mindset but found that he couldn't calm down no matter what.
"It must be the effect of the alcohol," Xiang Yu thought to himself, deciding to stay there for a while before going back.
"My deskmate."
Xiang Yu had no idea when the other party had come looking for him; they were now standing behind him, staring at him.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming out?" Gu Chen was drunk and spoke in a muffled voice, sounding very aggrieved.
"I—" I said, but you didn't hear me.
Seeing his pitiful state, Xiang Yu wanted to say something, but suddenly hardened her heart and changed her tone, "I don't need to tell you."
"How could this be..." Gu Chen looked like a large dog that had been soaked in the rain, its tail wagging sadly.
Xiang Yu felt that the other person was really drunk, and so was he.
There were only the two of them in the bathroom, but there was a strange atmosphere that made him feel suffocated.
"Let's go back." Xiang Yu felt stifled, pushed him away, and walked out of the bathroom.
But the other party grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
The other person was too strong to break free from, and there was no way to dodge. He could only face them, looking up at their eyes with a helpless expression.
"Are you unhappy, deskmate?" Gu Chen asked, looking at him with a frown.
"I didn't." Xiang Yu turned her face away, refusing to look at him.
"You do, deskmate, you always show it when you're unhappy." Gu Chen felt that his words were strange, perhaps due to the influence of alcohol. He wanted to correct himself but saw that the other person seemed to like it, so he let it go.
"Can you tell me if you're unhappy? I'm here for you." Gu Chen lowered his head and rested his head on the other's shoulder, his short hair brushing against Xiang Yu's neck and making it itch.
call.
Xiang Yu sighed. He probably really couldn't handle someone he liked acting cute towards him.
"Don't be like this, Gu Chen." It seemed to be the first time he had called the other person by their name. "Gu Chen, do you think this is normal?"
"Is what's normal?" Gu Chen looked up at him.
"You and me, two boys," Xiang Yu said tactfully, "Don't you think there's something off about how we're getting along?"
"Is there?" Gu Chen couldn't figure it out and tried hard to think, but it caused a headache from the alcohol, so he simply lowered his head and rested his head on the other person's neck. "There's nothing wrong with it."
"..." He wanted to speak frankly, but his behavior only made Xiang Yu more hesitant.
Maybe we should try one more time, just the last time.
Xiang Yu turned around and, seeing no one coming this way, whispered in Gu Chen's ear again, "Do you have a crush on me?"
"Why have a crush if you're not going to have one?"
The same answer extinguished the last spark of hope that had been ignited deep within Xiangyu's heart.
Despite being well-prepared, I was still dealt a heavy blow.
Let go of me, it's time to go back.
Before Xiang Yu could speak, the other person continued, "Why do you all have to ask if it's a secret crush? Does mutual affection count as a secret crush?"
Gu Chen looked up at him, looking puzzled. "Classmate, crushes are done secretly. Aren't we mutually attracted to each other?"
At that moment, Xiang Yu only remembered that the other person's eyes were very bright, so bright that they opened a new window to her soul through her own eyes, and the dawn light replaced the spark of hope to illuminate her pounding heart.
Xiang Yu stared into his eyes, her lips slightly pursed and upturned.
Perhaps it was because he had drunk too much alcohol and was feeling tipsy, Gu Chen stared at the other person's lips for a long time, swallowed, and said blankly.
"Hey deskmate, can I kiss you?"
He realized his mistake as soon as the words left his mouth. He hadn't formally confessed his feelings yet, and there needed to be a sense of ceremony. Asking her so abruptly if he could kiss her now would be like being a pervert. Would she dislike him because of it?
"I...I was just kidding!" Gu Chen panicked, and seeing the other person's eyes lower, he became even more flustered. He quickly coaxed, "Let's not kiss now, later, later—"
This happened very quickly; Xiang Yu blushed and turned away, refusing to look at him.
"Is that so?" The voice was barely audible.
Gu Chen blinked, reached out and touched the spot on his lips where the soft kiss had just been. He watched as a blush spread across his deskmate's earlobe, his eyes flickering slightly.
"That's probably not right."
"?" Xiang Yu looked at Gu Chen in confusion, only to see the other party's lips slightly raised. The next second, he was led directly into a cubicle by the other party.
That should be the case.
As soon as she finished speaking, she was pressed against the back of her head, wrapped around her waist, and pressed close to her.
The sounds of breathing gradually became disordered in the cubicle.
Xiang Yu could sense the other person's impatience and inexperience.
Their lips met; it was the first time the young man had ever been gentle, and could only be described as reckless.
Xiang Yu, breathless from being bitten, tried to push him away, but the other man grabbed her wrist and put her behind his back.
They kissed and hugged.
a long time.

Chapter 45: In the End: Okay.
"Brother Yu! Brother Chen!"
A shout suddenly rang out in the bathroom, but the surroundings were quiet and no one answered.
Wang Zehao was completely drunk, and when no one responded, he called out a few more times, unwilling to give up.
"That's strange, aren't they all coming to the toilet?"
Seeing that no one responded, he muttered, "Hiccup—".
He had too much beer and was bloated, so he let out a long burp. Wang Zehao unzipped his zipper at the urinal to keep it dry, and was only two meters away from the stall behind him.
The small cubicle was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere, with two figures intertwined.
Xiang Yu felt his breath being stolen by the other party, his consciousness hazy with his eyes half-open. There were strong hands tightly gripping his lower back and the back of his head, preventing him from pushing them away.
He was separated from Wang Zehao outside by only one door, and he was extremely flustered.
Wang Zehao stumbled and accidentally bumped into the bathroom door as he left, making a loud 'bang'.
