While joking with them, Chi Cheng stood up and brought the plate over to her and placed it here.
"Hey, do you guys have to eat so much? I'm grabbing a plate of food from you."
Shi Ling glanced at him and could feel him rubbing against her leg under the tablecloth.
She rolled her eyes at him and was about to pull back when Chi Cheng clamped her legs together.
Chi Cheng gestured for her to look at WeChat.
Shi Lingcai replied to him.
Shi Ling: No, I'll write my paper some more tonight.
CC: Give me your hand.
Shi Ling: ...
She looked up and saw that Chi Cheng's gaze was unwavering.
She then reached out from below.
The two held hands awkwardly for a while, until Fang Ze told Chi Cheng to sit on the sofa and play games, at which point Chi Cheng pinched her a few times and let go.
The villa has bathrooms on both the upper and lower floors, and showers are available at each location.
Even so, taking a shower for eight people was a problem, and they all rolled dice on WeChat to form a queue.
Ivy set a timer to turn off the lights for them.
Wang Jiajian was still complaining while lying in bed, "Damn it, this is just like high school, with lights out and queues for showers."
Fang Ze: "Come on, Chi Ge and I were in a closed-off class before, and we weren't even allowed to date."
Liu Zuowei laughed so hard the bed was shaking. "Which boarding class is so weird? Are there any girls dating?"
Fang Ze sighed, "Sigh, no."
He then asked Chi Cheng, "Do you think She Jiaxin might have gotten together with someone, which is why she dropped out of the class?"
Chi Cheng was unwilling to elaborate, "Probably around 80%."
Fang Ze became interested, "Who do you think looks like him?"
Chi Cheng answered him lazily, "Me."
Fang Ze: "..."
Wang Jiajian was already annoyed by their low-level conversation. "Hey, I just bypassed the Great Firewall and downloaded a few Tokyo Hot and Ippon-do movies. Want to watch them together?"
Liu Zuowei, who was on the lower bunk, suddenly jumped up and clung to the railing of the upper bunk.
Good things should be shared.
Wang Jiajian got out of bed, and several people sat cross-legged on Liu Zuowei's bed to watch.
Fang Ze has been studying for the IELTS for two or three months and is almost going crazy lately. The last time he went was with Chi Cheng and a few others, when Lin Ziqi took him to a massage parlor.
"Damn, if I can't hold back, will I even be able to get out of bed tomorrow?"
Wang Jiajian mocked him, "If you're a man, you should fight your way out."
While texting Shi Ling, Chi Cheng absentmindedly retorted, "Don't take care of it under the covers later. It's too much of a bed shake and you're more likely to leak. I think the toilet is more suitable for you."
The boys had seen this many times before, so they weren't surprised.
No one actually blushed or breathed heavily while watching.
I gave my evaluation of the characters in it.
Wang Jiajian even brought up a topic of conversation in the boys' dormitory late at night: "Who do you think is the most handsome/beautiful person in this class?"
Seeing that everyone was hesitating, he spoke first, "Tch, I wouldn't dare say, but I think Zhuo Ting is very busty."
Fang Ze remarked, "She's a bit chubby."
Wang Jiajian retorted, "That feels better. Who do you think looks better?"
Before Fang Ze could speak, Liu Zuowei said, "Are you all blind? Tangtang is the prettiest."
Fang Ze nodded, "I also think Tangtang is pretty."
Wang Jiajian asked Chi Cheng, who hummed in response, giving an ambiguous reply, "It's alright."
Wang Jiajian added, "That's great, no one's going to compete with me. Actually, I wanted to say that Shi Ling is the prettiest, okay?"
Liu Zuowei clicked his tongue, "It's good-looking, but it looks like someone with frigidity."
Fang Ze agreed, "It's true, when we were in the IELTS class, she was cold to everyone."
Chi Cheng paused his typing, and since it was dark, he couldn't see how dark his face was.
He felt annoyed that no one had said Shi Ling was pretty, and he was dissatisfied that they didn't know her value. But when someone actually said she was pretty, he wished they would shut up.
Saying anything more about Shi Ling would be a disgrace.
After the group finished watching and dispersed, Chi Cheng spoke to Shi Ling again.
CC: Come out.
Shi Ling: Where to?
CC: First floor toilet.
Shi Ling: I won't go.
CC: Come on, baby, it's so late and nobody's around.
CC: If you don't come out, you'll regret it later.
Before Chi Cheng left, the others exchanged knowing laughs.
Wang Jiajian even waved his phone, saying, "Brother Chi, I'll time you."
When Shi Ling came downstairs, Chi Cheng was sitting on the sofa in the dark, and she didn't see him at all. When she got to the bathroom, Chi Cheng got up and hugged her from behind.
Shi Ling was so frightened she almost screamed.
Hearing Chi Cheng chuckle, it was clear that her reaction pleased him.
The two didn't even turn on the bathroom light, but opened the window a little and made love by the light coming in from the streetlights outside.
Chi Cheng watched the film for a while, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't angry.
Even Shi Ling could sense that he was holding back; Chi Cheng was acting hastily today, lacking his usual patience.
Perhaps it was the forbidden pleasure that made Shi Ling so engrossed.
The shadows of the trees were cast on the transparent glass door of the bathroom, and their shadows were also cast on it.
Chi Cheng pushed her to hold onto the glass door, looking at the door, where two shadows slowly merged into one, swaying along with the shadows of the trees.
Shi Ling's hair was loose behind her, and for a moment it was hard to tell whether they were a couple or trees intertwined and connected by roots.
The shadows of trees and people were a harbinger of an impending storm. Accompanied by the sound of glass doors being slammed and suppressed sobs, Shi Ling's eyes were somewhat glazed.
However, not long after, there was a knock on the bathroom door. "Holy crap, Chi-ge, you haven't finished yet. I'm about to burst."
Fang Ze knocked again urgently, "Don't you even turn on the lights when you're masturbating? If you don't behave, I'm going to get off."
Author's Note: I'm late!
Chapter 22
(Flashback)
Even if Fang Ze's knocking wasn't loud when it was quiet at night, the person inside couldn't ignore it.
Shi Ling involuntarily shrank back.
Chi Cheng gritted his teeth and tightened his grip on her waist to suppress the surge of emotion.
Chi Cheng was about to speak, but then thought better of it and decided against it.
There are no boundaries between guys. If he were to try to get rid of him, Fang Ze might even ask to squeeze in and solve the problem together.
Chi Cheng pressed his lips to Shi Ling's ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Tell him you're taking a shower."
Shi Ling remembered what Fang Ze had said earlier, which was all vulgar talk between boys. She felt too embarrassed to say it herself, so she gently shook her head.
Chi Cheng licked her earlobe, his voice still hoarse, "Be good."
Shi Ling had just uttered a single word when she realized her voice was both hoarse and seductive, so she cleared her throat.
"Fang Ze, it's me inside."
They both heard Fang Ze mutter a curse under his breath outside the door, "Damn it."
Clearly, leaving or staying is not an option.
I saw his dark figure take two steps through the frosted glass door and then retreat.
"Shi Ling?"
Before Chi Cheng could even make a move, he saw him return and was so angry that he almost punched the wall.
Shi Ling didn't care anymore and just gave a perfunctory reply.
Fang Ze confirmed that it was her inside, and then said somewhat apologetically, "Shi Ling, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you. I thought it was Brother Chi, and I was joking with him. I was just saying random things, so please don't overthink it."
Shi Ling pressed her forehead against the cold wall, finally calming herself down.
"What did you say? I didn't hear it."
Fang Ze chuckled, "That's good, that's good. My sister Shi is so easy to talk to."
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief as they watched him walk away.
However, the next second, the screen of Chi Cheng's phone, which he had casually tossed on the sink, lit up, and Fang Ze's message was clearly displayed on the screen.
Fang Xiaozhe: Holy crap, I'm so embarrassed!
Fang Xiaozhe: I was trying to take care of something, but it turned out to be Shi Ling in the bathroom. I was so scared I went limp.
Fang Xiaozhe: Brother Chi, you've really screwed me over.
