To avoid hurting his confidence, I didn't tell him that I was almost done with the task. By the time I returned to the dormitory, the lights were about to go out. Lu Qingye had a rough day and went straight to the shower room upon returning. At this hour, he was probably the only one there. However, it seemed that shortly after he entered, the lights went out and the water was cut off. Just in case, I turned on the flashlight on my phone and went to check.
"Lu Qingye?"
"Mm..."
"The water's been cut off. Are you still not done washing?"
I stood at the door without going in. There was silence for two seconds before he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Jian Xi, it seems like some soap got into my eyes, and I can't open them. Can you—"
He paused before continuing.
"Can you bring me my towel?"
I blinked and responded slowly, "Oh." Since we were both guys, there was nothing to be embarrassed about. I reassured myself and walked in with his towel.
I shone the flashlight directly on Lu Qingye's face, not daring to look anywhere else.
"Here you go."
Lu Qingye took it from me. Just as I was about to turn and leave, I slipped on the wet floor and fell backward, landing right in front of Lu Qingye. I was facing his legs... and saw something I shouldn't have seen. Just then, Lu Qingye also lowered the towel and opened his eyes.
I instinctively looked up.
Our eyes met.
Me: "..."
Lu Qingye: "..."
At that moment, my embarrassment reached its peak.
After a few chaotic minutes, Lu Qingye casually went to the water fountain to splash cold water on his hair.
Then we silently walked back to the dormitory.
On the way, Lu Qingye suddenly spoke up.
"Is it still okay?"
"Well, it's already far beyond the average specifications for men in our country."
I subtly quickened my pace to create some distance.
Lu Qingye quietly added, "Really, I've searched for this data..."
That direct comment almost knocked the wind out of me.
My relationship with Lu Qingye unknowingly grew closer.
The ambiguity hung like a thin veil, easily torn apart at any moment.
Yet I hesitated.
Until I encountered Shao Ciyan again.
He publicly revealed his sexual orientation and started dating a freshman boy.
I don't know if it was just my imagination, but I felt that boy resembled me somewhat.
Meanwhile, Jian Qingtang had completely become a joke.
I used elective courses as leverage to have Big Guy publicly report Jian Qingtang's actions on the confession wall.
Jian Qingtang's reputation was ruined, and she was even asked by the school to take a year off.
I heard that later she was taken home by her mother, who valued her reputation over her life, and kept under house arrest for quite some time.
There were also rumors that she was planning to drop out of school.
That day, after dinner with Lu Qingye, we took a walk in the evening.
As we walked, we found ourselves near a small grove.
The ambiguous voice made us stop in our tracks.
"How about we go somewhere else?"
Lu Qingye suggested, rubbing the back of his head.
I held my expression and nodded slightly.
But just as I took a step forward, I suddenly heard a familiar voice.
The protagonist inside was Shao Ciyan.
"Jian Xi... Xi Xi..."
Lu Qingye turned around abruptly.
Immediately, another boy responded intermittently.
"I'm here... brother Ci..."
It was disgusting.
I instantly felt a wave of nausea.
I initially wanted to leave and wait for the two to come out before saying anything.
But Lu Qingye had already barged in.
"Are you sick, Shao?"
"Fantasizing about Jian Xi, are you out of your mind?"
By the time the three of them came out again, I had already composed myself.
I looked at Shao Ciyan with indifference.
"Shao Ciyan, the only reason I've tolerated you until now is that when I lost my luggage during my freshman year, you ran back to the bus station to help me find it."
The boy with his head down suddenly looked up, confused.
"What?"
"You may not remember it, but I am very grateful and have remembered it until now."
"However, you have now exhausted my last bit of patience."
Shao Ciyan still stared at me in confusion.
It was Lu Qingye beside me who suddenly turned into a firecracker.
He ignited instantly.
"Are you still pretending?!"
"That's me, Jian Xi! That's who the hell I brought back for you."
"Shao Ciyan, you really are a piece of work!"
With that, he landed a solid punch on Shao Ciyan's face.
I stood frozen in place, recalling that day's events.
The sophomore senior sister was comforting me.
"It's okay, we have contact information for the bus that picks up new students. Shao Ciyan has already gone to help you find it, so don’t worry."
She told me to wait in the dormitory.
Sure enough, when I came out after taking a shower, my luggage was already at the dorm entrance.
No one told me who had brought it back.
So I assumed it was Shao Ciyan.
The sounds of punches and kicks pulled me back to reality.
Shao Ciyan was on the ground, groaning, almost being beaten by Lu Qingye.
"Lu Qingye, let's go; he has already gotten his comeuppance."
Lu Qingye rushed in without a care.
Shao Ciyan looked quite frightened.
In such a situation, being startled could render some things ineffective for a lifetime.
Lu Qingye took a deep breath, stopped his actions, and left with me.
"I brought you back..."
The boy suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking down and emphasizing softly.
"Yeah, I know now, and I'm really grateful to you."
"After knowing it was you, I suddenly felt relieved. Because it was you, everything made sense."
I was pondering how to delicately break this layer of tension when the boy sniffed.
I heard him sobbing.
I paused and turned my head to look at him.
"Are you crying?"
Lu Qingye's eyes were slightly red, looking at me with a pitiful expression.
"You should have liked me."
"I saw you in the waiting area, and then I noticed that fallen suitcase. I knew it was yours, so I immediately took it to your school."
"I forgot to leave my contact information and forgot to ask your name before leaving."
"And then you ended up liking someone else."
By the end, he was almost in tears.
Why is someone nearly six feet tall so delicate?
I raised my hand to cup his face, comforting him softly.
"It's okay, Lu Qingye."
"It's not too late for me to like you now, right?"
He widened his eyes.
"What did you say!"
I seemed to see his tail standing upright behind him.
"I said, Lu Qingye, do you want to date?"
The tears in the boy's eyes disappeared instantly as he nodded eagerly.
His tail wagged non-stop.
I took the initiative to hold his hand.
"Jian Xi, I like you."
Suddenly, he confessed seriously.
Lu Qingye said he truly fell in love with me at first sight.
The essence of falling in love at first sight is superficial.
But Lu Qingye made me realize that falling in love at first sight and being devoted can coexist.
