Gu Chen opened the door for them and closed it after they left.
The winter sun is not strong to begin with, and with the curtains drawn, the dormitory is simply dim. Not many people come back for their lunch break, and the entire dormitory building is quiet except for a few rooms.
After Xiang Yu got into bed, Gu Chen didn't stay downstairs for long and prepared to lie down himself.
Lying down with her boyfriend.
"Go to your own bed." Xiang Yu was already sleeping on his side facing the wall, and when Gu Chen squeezed in, his body was almost pressed against the wall.
"I'm not going." It was rare for it to be just the two of them in the dorm. Gu Chen lifted the blanket and crawled in, putting his arm around Xiang Yu's waist and pulling him towards him. He then playfully pressed his neck against Xiang Yu's neck, saying, "I'll warm you up."
Gu Chen had a high body temperature, and Xiang Yu's back felt like it was pressed against a furnace. In addition, this was the first time the two of them had shared a dormitory since they started dating, so Xiang Yu felt a little uncomfortable. She said, "It's hot." She pulled Gu Chen's hand away from her waist and moved closer to the wall.
Gu Chen opened her eyes and looked at her boyfriend's reddened ears. Feeling itchy, she leaned closer.
"Boyfriend." She whispered in his ear, nuzzling his earlobe with her nose, and then gently kissed him again.
A blush instantly spread across Xiang Yu's face. Gu Chen watched as the pink blush spread across the fair back of her neck, his eyes flashing. With a slight twist of his hand, he kissed her directly.
Xiang Yu was initially quite cooperative, trying to accept the other party's advances while attempting to respond to them.
The phrase "to take advantage of someone's kindness" is very fitting for Gu Chen.
Xiang Yu's breath was stolen, and in a daze, he felt Gu Chen gradually get up and press down on him.
They are all proper adults; they know what they should know, and they also know a little about what they shouldn't know.
"Boyfriend." Gu Chen let Xiang Yu catch her breath and changed the way he addressed her, "Baby."
After saying that, he gently kissed Xiangyu's forehead, lightly brushed it across the bridge of his nose, and left a kiss on the corner of his mouth.
Normally, the two of them would just kiss in a secluded place, and if they went any further, it would be by slipping their hands under each other's clothes.
It's not surprising that he did this alone. Xiang Yu doesn't know if Gu Chen had been planning this for a long time, but for him, it was beyond his capabilities.
[Author's Note: Later]
Gu Chen: Baby.
Xiangyu: Good night.
Gu Chen: ......
I tried my best to describe it in a way that was not overtly explicit.
Chapter Sixty-One: Rejecting Adversity
Chapter Sixty-One: Refusal to Push Further
Ever since that noon when Gu Chen and Xiang Yu made further progress in the dormitory, it was as if a new world had been opened to Gu Chen, and he couldn't stop himself from getting carried away.
He was incredibly audacious and greedy, a perfect example of someone who would push his luck.
Xiang Yu felt that Gu Chen was so shameless that he dared to be so blatant.
"Come to your bed." It was another lunch break, and Xiang Yu reached out to block the entrance to the upper bunk.
"No, deskmate, my bed isn't dry yet," Gu Chen said pitifully. "I didn't want to either."
Yang Shuhuan, who was lying down on the other side of the bed, saw Gu Chen standing on the ladder opposite him, looking uncomfortable with Xiang Yu blocking his way and swaying there. He couldn't help but say a few words on Gu Chen's behalf.
"Brother Yu, it's hard for the bed to dry in winter, and it's been cold and snowing these past few days. It'll be cold to sleep on a damp bed."
Xiang Yu glanced at him without saying a word, thinking to himself that it was no wonder this idiot slept with a damp bottle of mineral water every day at noon.
If it were just a normal night's sleep, it would be fine, but the problem is that this guy comes up in bed and starts touching and groping people, who can stand that?
Xiang Yu really wanted to grab Gu Chen's face and show him his excited expression to the other side.
"I'm so sleepy." Gu Chen even deliberately yawned.
Yawning is contagious. Hearing this, Yang Shuhuan yawned along with him. He rubbed his eyes and saw that the two people opposite him were still facing off. He pulled the blanket outward and moved inward.
"Brother Chen, if you can't squeeze in with me, why don't you? It's the last day anyway."
That makes sense. It's Friday today, and if the mattress isn't dry by now, we can take it home and get a new one.
"It's alright, it's alright, you can go to sleep." Gu Chen smiled awkwardly but politely when he saw that Yang Shuhuan had even made room for him. He turned to Xiang Yu with a pitiful look and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I promise I won't lay a hand on you."
Having said that, Xiang Yuqi couldn't do anything about it, so she made room for him, and Gu Chen immediately lifted the blanket and 'scrambled' inside.
After seeing that Gu Chen had a bed to sleep in, Yang Shuhuan lay down as well. Before lying down, he saw that Zhang Boyuan was covered by the blanket and not moving. He muttered casually, "Why is Yuan'er sleeping so early today?"
Gu Chen kept her word; she said she would sleep normally, and she did. In the bed where no one could see, she hugged her boyfriend and closed her eyes.
Soon, even breathing filled the dormitory.
After a long while, once he was sure everyone else was asleep, Zhang Boyuan pulled off the blanket covering his head and, after a long pause, finally managed to mouth two words.
Oh shit.
He was furious. Why did his stomach hurt at noon? If he hadn't had a stomachache, he wouldn't have rushed out of the dormitory to the public bathroom. If he hadn't gone to the bathroom, he wouldn't have passed by the public balcony. If he hadn't passed by the public balcony, he wouldn't have accidentally caught Gu Chen spilling half a bottle of water on the bedding, and Xiang Yu had caught him red-handed. Even if he was caught red-handed, his gossipy nature still compelled him to secretly watch the show.
Then I saw our class monitor, a straight-laced guy, grinning and kissing the school bully on the corner of his mouth.
Damn it, why does he have a stomachache?
He has a big mouth and can't keep secrets, but this isn't the kind of gossip or hearsay.
Frustrated and unable to contain his emotions, Zhang Boyuan could only vent his frustration on his WeChat Moments.
Zhang Boyuan: Let my unbearable anguish be exchanged for your peace of mind right now. [You don't understand me].jpg
Tang Yue: Are you sick?
City X welcomed its first snowfall of the year two days ago. The weather forecast predicted sleet, but the snow suddenly turned into a blizzard late at night, catching everyone off guard. Traffic was disrupted, and the thick snow piled up, requiring manual clearing of all roads. However, the continuous light snow meant that the snow on both sides of the roads inside the No. 1 Middle School had not yet been cleared.
The disruption to students on campus seemed minimal. Although the regular physical activity during the long break was temporarily canceled due to slippery roads caused by snow, the number of people on the playground did not decrease as a result.
At the end of the class before the long break, the students of Class 2 were excitedly waiting to go to the playground to "battle" with other classes.
As soon as the bell rang, Zhang Zitong encouraged everyone to go to the playground.
"Let's go, brothers and sisters! Today we're going to battle against Class 13 of the Science Department!"
Xu Youluo, always eager to play, stood up and shouted, "Let's make this clear first, you're not allowed to hit my sister, or I'll get mad at you!"
“I know, I won’t hit soldiers’ relatives, but you’d better keep an eye on your sister.” Zhang Zitong stood up and said, “The students in Class 1 next door said that yesterday, a girl in Class 13 of the Science Department was having a snowball fight and she was hitting her every time. The Class 1 leader of the Arts Department only hit her once, and she targeted her the whole time. She’s extremely vengeful.”
“Hey, no problem, I’ll be with my sister the whole time.” Xu Youluo was wearing a thin crew neck sweatshirt, and now she put on the down jacket that was draped behind the chair. Seeing Jiang Wensong close his book and fall asleep on the table, she nudged him awake. “Come on, Song’er, wake up, let’s go to the park and have a snowball fight to wake you up.”
Xiang Yu also wanted to leave, but Gu Chen simply pulled a scarf from the table drawer and put it around his neck.
Xiang Yu: "..."
Gu Chen: "It's so cold outside. Wrap your scarf around your neck. Here, put on your gloves, hat, and down jacket hood too."
"No way, Brother Chen!" Wang Zehao exclaimed, looking at how little Brother Yu could move from the neck up. "He's the main force of our class! How can he see and hear anything if you bundle him up like this!"
“Hey, Wang Zehao, you don’t understand, this is called the love between deskmates~” Tang Yue said to him.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's love between deskmates." After what happened at noon, Zhang Boyuan saw that Gu Chen and Xiang Yu were feeling very guilty, afraid that their relationship would be discovered by others. He took out a hat from his desk drawer and put it over Zhang Zitong's head: "Deskmate, here, put this on, don't get cold."
Zhang Zitong said, "Damn it, I can't see anything at all! Are you an undercover agent sent by Li 13?!"
The snow on the field was at least two centimeters thick. Since the school saw that snowball fights were more popular than extracurricular activities, they didn't have anyone clear the snow. People were running around like crazy. It was supposed to be a battle between two classes, but there were several classes on the field. Once the snowballs were thrown, the situation became so chaotic that you could only tell if someone was on your own side. How could you tell if someone was from the opposing class?
As the snowball fight began, Gu Chen stayed next to Xiang Yu. The two strolled leisurely in the two-centimeter-thick snow. When snowballs were thrown at them, Gu Chen would make a few snowballs to throw back, but he didn't know if they hit Xiang Yu.
His vision was limited to the area in front of him by his hat, scarf, and mask; he had to turn his head to see anything else, which was too inconvenient.
He wasn't particularly interested in the snowball fight; he just joined Gu Chen in the fun.
With a 'thud,' a snowball landed on the back of Xiang Yu's head. Before Xiang Yu could even move, Gu Chen had already reached out to sweep the snow off his hat.
The two turned around at the same time and met Li Yifan's shocked expression.
“…Cousin, would you two believe me if I said it wasn’t me?” Li Yifan was still in the throwing posture.
But he missed.
Li Yifan turned and ran, but Gu Chen hit him on the back of the head with a snowball. The snow fell down his neck and into his clothes. He shivered from the cold and jumped up and down, shaking off the snow and shouting.
"Holy crap, it really wasn't me!"
Xiang Yu squinted, took off his gloves and stuffed them into his pocket, then made a snowball and threw it over.
"If it wasn't you, why are you running away?"
"No, Boss Gu's smile is so dangerous, I have to run!"
[Author's Note: Gu Chen: Don't hit my boyfriend!]
Chapter Sixty-Two: Where You Learn Doesn't Matter
Chapter Sixty-Two: Learning Doesn't Matter Where You Learn
Li Yifan inexplicably took the blame for someone else and was chased and beaten by Xiang Yu and Gu Chen, but he didn't dare to turn around.
My clothes and hair were covered in snowflakes that I hadn't swept away.
After circling around, he dashed into the crowd and escaped. He slowed down, panting, and surveyed the surrounding situation, trying to find a lone student from Class 2.
He actually found it.
An old acquaintance, wearing black-rimmed glasses and a black cotton-padded coat, stood motionless. If I don't hit you, who will I hit?
Li Yifan bent down and quietly rolled a snowball twice the size of Gu Chen's earlier one. He slowly approached from behind, and when he was within a certain range where he could hit the target with a certain percentage of the snowball's height, he suddenly raised his hands.
"Brother Wensong! I've decided on you!"
Jiang Wensong was buried in a snowball, and Li Yifan's sense of accomplishment soared. He laughed for a long time, and when he saw that the other party still hadn't sat up, he went over to pull him up.
"Get up, Wen Song, don't be angry. I don't mind that you're bad. Let's go, let's team up and take down the lone ones from other classes."
Li Yifan pulled him up, but felt that the weight under his hands was wrong.
Gu Chen and Xiang Yu were searching for Li Yifan's trail in the snow when they saw a group of people gathered not far ahead. Gu Chen pulled Xiang Yu over and heard a familiar voice shouting "Holy crap!" from within the group.
"Holy crap, holy crap, Jiang Wensong, wake up!" Li Yifan pulled Jiang Wensong out of the snowdrift and shook him vigorously.
"What's wrong with Song'er?" Gu Chen asked Li Yifan as he squeezed through the crowd with Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu reacted quickly, immediately bending down to check on Jiang Wensong's condition. The students from Class 2 nearby heard the commotion and gathered around. Seeing that it was their class representative, they immediately went over to him.
