They suggested that the people in the apartment cook a meal together and have a Mid-Autumn Festival feast.
Chi Cheng suddenly remembered this interlude that he thought he had forgotten, and it was still vivid in his mind.
He had once thought he was the one who seduced Shi Ling, but looking back now, he realized that Shi Ling was much more sophisticated. She had been holding him by the collar long ago, waiting for him, making him think that he had turned his head.
Since that day, when he knocked on Shi Ling's door and got off her bed, the two have acted like strangers. Chi Cheng has been lazy, ordering takeout for every meal, and rarely even has the chance to run into her in the kitchen.
When they met, Chi Cheng was unwilling to tolerate her cold attitude.
Chi Cheng wasn't worried that Zhao Yongbin could catch up with Shi Ling.
Shi Ling has always been cold and ruthless towards people.
Sure enough, when Zhao Yongbin tried to tie an apron on Shi Ling, she dodged him.
She threw down the shovel and took it herself to tie it.
But he never knew that Shi Ling could cook. The dishes in her pot looked and smelled delicious.
Even with an apron on and a shovel in hand, she seems untouched by the smell of cooking.
When Zhao Yongbin saw him arrive, he exclaimed, "Oh, the young master has finally decided to come out!"
Chi Cheng wore a loose-fitting black turtleneck sweater and dark striped harem pants, revealing a section of his ankle. His hair was styled meticulously, and he changed his earrings to matte black ones, which matched the outfit perfectly.
Shi Ling didn't even look at him.
Chi Cheng rolled up his sleeves. "Shall I help? Where's Fang Ze?"
Zhao Yongbin replied, "He went to buy drinks."
Zhao Yongbin was originally just an assistant, and I don't know what kind of work he was assigned.
They could only ask Shi Ling for instructions, and Shi Ling casually pointed to the bag that was lying by the pool.
"Let's wash the vegetables."
Chi Cheng was indeed not as good as Zhao Yongbin; he only washed a few vegetables and got some bowls and chopsticks before eating.
Fang Ze noticed that Chi Cheng was unusually quiet tonight and asked him curiously, "Brother Chi, what's wrong? Are you pretending to be deep?"
Chi Cheng then took the initiative to start a conversation, returning to his usual talkative and cheerful self.
Zhao Yongbin finally understood, "So you two are from the same agency, and the agency was worried you wouldn't pass the exam, so they recommended you to a closed-door class, that's how you met?"
"Yeah, I don't know if the agency took the money, but they later recommended that we attend a closed-door class. A few of us who didn't pass the exam went to attend it."
"You attended two closed-campus classes?"
"One is closed-door teaching, and the other is memorizing test questions in a small dark room."
Fang Ze suppressed a laugh, "It really was a dark room. They took us to a villa in the suburbs, and the men and women were separated into two rooms with bunk beds. Then, unexpectedly, the subway construction cut the cable in that suburb, so they made us move back to the city."
After dinner, the group chatted for a while, then put down the half-washed dishes and went out to admire the moon.
The UK has always banned light pollution and advocated for a return to the night sky.
However, this dormitory area is densely packed with dormitory buildings and towering trees.
Behind their dormitory was a large tree stump, so thick that it would take two people to hug it, and about a meter high.
The view is much better from up there.
The boy went up first. Chi Cheng glanced at Shi Ling, then abruptly raised his hand, which he had half-handed over, and tucked it into his own fluffy hair beside his ear to smooth it down.
As expected, Zhao Yongbin reached out his hand. Chi Cheng watched coldly as the soft, boneless hand he had played with countless times was placed into Zhao Yongbin's hand.
The moon was partially obscured by dark clouds.
When they returned to their dorm, they were still chatting and laughing.
When Shi Ling entered the dormitory, Zhao Yongbin jokingly stuck half his hand in, "Aren't you going to invite me in for a bit?"
Shi Ling smiled and said, "Dream on."
Fang Ze patted his shoulder sympathetically, "Shi Ling is a real cold beauty. In our class before, no one dared to make a move on her, right, Brother Chi?"
Chi Cheng glanced at the door that Shi Ling had already closed. "Yeah, I was afraid she'd freeze to death."
For some reason, when he touched the doorknob, he remembered another line from that song.
"The bustling city is brightly lit. But with you, there will be no more dawn."
Chi Cheng cursed himself for being pretentious.
Thinking about all this is useless. I should just bring Shi Ling back and make her scream in agony in bed.
Let's see how cold she is.
Chapter 6
When it was time to leave the KTV, the group was about to go eat hot pot. Shi Ling said goodbye and then left alone.
They didn't find it strange; the strange thing was that Shi Ling could leave the classroom and play with them for an afternoon.
Chi Cheng sat comfortably with his legs spread apart. Not long after, he noticed someone gently kicking his calf from the left.
He was sitting to his left with She Jiaxin. Chi Cheng didn't move away, but just glanced at her.
She glanced over out of the corner of her eye, smiling ambiguously, her lips a vibrant red.
People from Guangdong love to eat Chaoshan beef ball hot pot. It's not that spicy, but the effect of getting their lips red from eating it is just as good.
Chi Cheng instantly understood her thoughts.
Actually, Charmaine Sheh has a bad reputation. Scrolling through her WeChat Moments, it's all photos of her going to bars at night, wearing heavy makeup and revealing clothes. And the men in the photos are rarely the same.
But every move she makes is affected and pretentious. Yet she doesn't pretend to be aloof. There's a kind of bitch who is openly bitchy, which makes her less repulsive.
She even recorded her IELTS speaking practice sessions in the IELTS Brother app, and was only satisfied when she received a certain number of likes and comments.
During these last few times when everyone played together, she responded to every joke made by any of the boys, and returned the joke in a equally witty manner.
After exchanging a glance with Chi Cheng, She Jiaxin smiled and raised her glass, "Chi Cheng, how about one?"
She pronounced Chi Cheng very clearly, making it sound like "Chi Chen," which was both sweet and coquettish, unlike Shi Ling, who pronounced everyone's name with perfect clarity and a sense of aloofness.
Lin Ziqi chimed in, "Hey, why is it Chi Cheng? Don't you think he's the most handsome?"
She Jiaxin said, "It's because of his name, it's really cool."
"Want him to dominate you?"
She Jiaxin clinked glasses with him directly, saying, "It's not that it's not possible."
Chi Cheng reached down and pressed down on her leg, which was rubbing against him, and laughed, "I like women on top."
This sparked a conversation, and everyone started talking about all sorts of sexy topics.
Lin Ziqi said he likes to record videos, but once he accidentally sent one to his mother. After he deleted it, his mother said quietly, "Your girlfriend has a nice figure."
He Qiuxi complained that her ex was particularly weird, as he liked to call her "daddy" in bed. She rolled her eyes several times as she spoke, and said that she broke up with him after only a few times.
In this atmosphere, no one took Chi Cheng and She Jiaxin's conversation seriously, nor did anyone notice their actions under the tablecloth. She Jiaxin was wearing shorts that barely covered her thigh, and Chi Cheng's hand suddenly went down and touched her thigh.
She Jiaxin was wearing pointed shoes, and she slowly circled the toes of her shoes around his calves.
Even though Chi Cheng was wearing trousers, she still got on his nerves.
He didn't remove his hand, and right on his left was She Jiaxin, whose legs were smooth and tender. He took advantage of her to his heart's content.
After they finished eating, all the boys went outside.
"Go smoke."
I haven't finished eating yet.
"Let's go, you idiot."
She Jiaxin also grabbed Chi Cheng, "I'll go too."
Unlike Shi Ling, She Jiaxin's posture was graceful and her movements were skillful, clearly indicating that she was a seasoned smoker.
Chi Cheng, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, said, "Lighter."
She Jiaxin held it up for him, and Chi Cheng directly covered her hand with his and lit a cigarette using her hand.
The two of them stood a little distance away, and the others were talking in twos and threes, paying no attention to what was happening on their side.
"Is Shi Ling prettier or am I prettier?"
Chi Cheng looked down at her and said, "You're beautiful."
She Jiaxin smiled and didn't ask him if it was true or not.
After finishing his cigarette, Chi Cheng asked her, "Is it your room or mine?"
She Jiaxin raised her hand to poke his chest, but Chi Cheng grabbed her finger, saying, "So impatient."
Chi Cheng chuckled softly, his laughter only twitching one corner of his mouth, a smile that was both mischievous and wicked.
"Isn't this what you wanted? Or do you want to be my girl?"
She Jiaxin pulled her hand back. "Remember to bring a condom to my room. I don't like hotels."
Both of them knew exactly what the other was talking about.
Chi Cheng has many ambiguous relationships, but he refuses to date.
She Jiaxin is beautiful. Even though he knows she's a bitch, he likes her bitch nature and won't bother her.
After they made their agreement, She Jiaxin behaved herself and stopped teasing him.
Chi Cheng was not in a hurry.
He didn't take a shower until the teacher checked the rooms at 11 o'clock.
After taking a shower, Chi Cheng deliberately left the water on his chest undried, his bathrobe hanging loosely, revealing a glimpse of his chest and the outline of his pectoral muscles.
I blow-dried my hair until it was half dry, making the roots fluffy, and then used gel to mess up the half-wet hair, forcibly creating a wet hair effect.
Chi Cheng placed the Okamoto box diagonally in the pocket of his bathrobe, leaving the tip sticking out.
She went down there in such a flamboyant way.
