"Damn it! Aren't physical exams usually scheduled at the end of the semester? Why is it scheduled so much earlier this year?!!!"

Lin Shan started complaining angrily as soon as he received the group message: "I haven't prepared for a 1,000-meter run yet, but I can't stretch my ligaments or do pull-ups. This is a sin!!!"

"There is still one day until the physical test tomorrow." Xie Jiayi comforted: "You can prepare well tonight."

Lin Shan said sadly, "But it's almost seven o'clock now. What should I prepare? Do a 10,000-meter night run or do the splits while sleeping at night?"

Xie Jiayi: "If you get the news a week in advance, will you run 10,000 meters at night and sleep with your legs split?"

Lin Shan: "... Wuuuuuuuuuu Jia ‌ Don't expose me qaq"

Xie Jiayi was helpless and tried to comfort him: "Don't worry, the physical examination supervisor is our class sports committee member."

"... And I don't want to measure my vital capacity. Last time, my vital capacity was so low that even the physical education teacher laughed at me—eh?" Lin Shan realized that he had overreacted: "Is it monitored by the Sports Committee?"

"Yeah." Xie Jia nodded: "It's all said in the group message, take a closer look."

Lin Shan reread it and his mood immediately turned from cloudy to sunny: "Oh, really? That's great. I don't have to make any preparations. The Sports Committee will definitely protect us without any bottom line. Hahahahahahahahaha."

Xie Jiayi: "Then you should at least do something and don't make it too difficult for the Sports Committee."

"Hey, I'm not a three-year-old kid."

After the problem was solved, Lin Shan remembered the unfinished topic: "By the way, Jiaxun, what did you want to ask me just now?"

Xie Jiaxuan paused with his brush.

Under Lin Shan's inquiring gaze, he placed his hands on his knees, turned his head to look at her, and said slowly: "I want to ask you, if you want to pursue someone, what should you do?"

Lin Shan repeated: "Chasing someone?"

Xie Jia: “Yeah.”

Lin Shan asked again: "Who is chasing who?"

"... ... me." Xie Jiaxun paused, then added solemnly, "Lin Shan, I want to pursue Liang Sunian."

"?"

“???!”

"What???!!"

Lin Shan immediately controlled the volume and made a lot of noise. All the students in the studio turned their heads and cast curious glances at him.

Fortunately, the teacher is not here.

"Oh my god, my paint got on my pants, haha ...

After dealing with his classmates, Lin Shan quickly shrank his neck and hid behind the drawing board. He opened his eyes wide and asked Xie Jiaxun in a low voice: "No, friends, so you were together before?"

Xie Jiaxing shook his head: "Of course there is." He had been denying it all the time, but Lin Shan just didn't believe him.

Lin Shan's expression was complicated, and he hissed, "So, we are sworn brothers?"

Xie Jia: “Yeah.”

"Ah, this..." Lin Shan's face was almost wrinkled with anxiety, and he stuttered: "You... Have I been away from the straight world for too long? Do good brothers in campus society generally get along in such a 'full of gay love' now?"

What good brothers does Xie Jia mean? He doesn't even know how other good brothers get along with each other. He can't even make a comparison. He can't give a response and can only remain silent.

Lin Shan digested it for a while and sighed: "Okay, to be honest, based on my experience as a human being, it doesn't matter whether you chase her or not."

Xie Jia was puzzled: "Why?"

Lin Shan spread his hands: "Because you two are already together, there is a difference. Have you noticed?"

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment and added, "Oh, I almost forgot. You've been in a relationship before, so it's normal that you don't know."

Xie Jia was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, I have to chase her."

There must be a certain status to use, otherwise what if Liang Sunian does something stupid again and someone puts a rubber band on his hair

"But my method may not be suitable for you." Lin Shan said regretfully: "You know, I'm too coquettish, but you can't afford to be coquettish."

Xie Jia: “…”

Lin Shan is very concerned about his friend's lifelong event.

He pinched his chin and thought for a long time, and suddenly an idea came to his mind: "Right, at this time, we should find a solution according to the situation. The method of chasing people by the masses will not work. The right way is to treat the symptoms!"

Xie Jia repeated: "Prescribe the right medicine for the disease?"

"Wrong!"

Lin Shan confidently followed up with the analysis: "Didn't I just say that you two are together now, what's the difference?"

Xie Jia: “Hmm?”

Lin Shan: "Let's play along. From now on, you can treat me as your boyfriend and do whatever you want. Just remember not to say "I like you". Believe me, sooner or later, you will say this first!"

Xie Jiayi was half-believing and half-doubting: "Is this okay?"

"Then of course."

Lin Shan looked him up and down, curved his eyes and smiled meaningfully: "I believe in your talent, follow your ability, just follow the current progress and do what you want to do."

"Young man, do you know what 'pure desire' means?"

After class at nine o'clock in the evening, Xie Jiaxuan left the art building and walked towards the dormitory following the street lights. When passing by a supermarket, he happened to meet Liang Sunian, who was standing there buying ice cream after his elective class.

He started calling out to Xie Jia, but the latter was the first to spot him from the reflection in the cake window. He turned around and smiled at him, raised his hand to make a "wait for me" gesture, quickly picked out the ice cream, paid for it, turned around and strode to Xie Jia.

"Just finished class?"

Xie Jia nodded: "Yeah."

"Me too. I'm taking an elective course about hypnosis being very effective. It makes me dizzy, but I can't escape."

He held out his hand: "Well, I'll treat you to some ice cream to celebrate the passing of another day of our suffering."

It was the same brand of cream cone from last time. Liang Sunian handed the bag with strawberry pattern to her and kept the ones with special flavors for himself: "The original flavor is sold out, and there's only one strawberry flavor left. You'll have to make do with that."

After saying that, he tore open the packaging bag and threw it away, planning to eat while walking.

Seeing that Yong had taken a bite, Xie Jiaxuan's expression became a little strange, and he couldn't help but ask Yong, "Is it not delicious?"

“It’s not bad.”

I've tasted this flavor before. It's a bit complicated and a bit strange, but I can't tell exactly what's strange about it.

While I was thinking about what adjective to use to describe it, the wrist of the hand holding the ice cream was suddenly gently grabbed.

Xie Jiaxuan seemed too lazy to wait, and he pulled his hand closer and opened his mouth to taste it himself.

There were two obvious bite marks overlapping each other, one large and one small, indicating that they had eaten the same ice cream.

After carefully tasting it, I gave a positive review: "It's a little sour, but still delicious."

She licked off the white cream that accidentally got on her lips, then sipped it again, and her lips inevitably took on a somewhat watery red hue.

Liang Sunian stopped under the street light, looked at the ice cream, then at the food, with a look of surprise for a moment.

Seeing that Yong didn't say anything, Xie Jia's brows gradually frowned, and he gently let go of Yong: "Do you dislike me?"

"How dare you? I don't have the qualifications to do that."

Liang Sunian suddenly grinned and said, "I just think I should be the one asking this question. Xiao Xie, don't you dislike me?"

Xie Jia lowered his eyes, his voice a little muffled: "When have I ever disliked you?"

Seeing that the person seemed unhappy, Liang Sunian immediately started to coax him: "That makes sense. It is my great honor to be accepted by our teacher Xie. Tsk, how can I be so ungrateful? It's all my fault. Please don't be angry."

Xie Jia was so angry that he said, "... I'm angry."

Liang Sunian followed suit: "Oh, yes, then don't mind me, I'm just talking nonsense."

Xie Jia: “…”

Before he could say anything else, the ice cream with bite marks on it was handed to him again. Liang Sunian tilted his head and looked at it with a smile: "If you think it tastes good, do you want to try it again?"

Xie Jiaxuan puffed up his cheeks sullenly.

Then he grasped my hand, opened his mouth and bit off a big piece of it as if to vent his anger.

When I returned to the dormitory and opened the door, I heard Li Tang's deafening scream.

Liang Sunian narrowed his eyes and hissed, then covered the ears of Xie Jiaxuan who was walking in front of him, and said to Li Tang: "Alright, brother, are you calling for the soul? Your eardrums are almost broken by your yelling."

Li Tang excitedly jumped in front of everyone, holding his phone in his hand, and showed them the chat interface: "A girl added me! She said she has heard of my name for a long time, admires me very much, and wants to be! friends! and! talk! with me!"

Shen Xuehao had been tortured for the entire afternoon and was now exhausted both physically and mentally. Li Tang had shifted his target to someone else, and Shen Xuehao finally breathed a sigh of relief and could go to bed to watch some drama and videos.

"I've heard of your name for a long time?"

Liang Sunian took the phone and casually flipped through the chat history under Li Tang's encouraging eyes: "Okay, first tell me what your name is?"

"I'm good at playing games!" Li Tang patted his chest, and said with mysterious confidence: "Last season, I easily finished the battle with 100 stars, and I was a 32-level shooter. I was also good at supporting and playing jungle. Who else can I ask?"

Liang Sunian was puzzled: "How could a girl admire you because you are so good at gaming?"

Li Tang: "That's it, the charm of e-sports is unmatched!"

What she said was not completely unreasonable, but somehow Liang Sunian felt that the more he read the chat records, the more something was wrong: "It's a bit weird. Are you sure she wants to talk to you?"

Li Xiaozhai bit his lower lip shyly and smiled shyly: "If it's a relationship, I can accept it."

Liang Sunian: "... ...Brother, I think you should calm down first."

Xie Jiaxuan listened carefully, then quickly returned to his seat, put down his things and prepared to take a shower.

However, after picking up the pajamas, he stood there for a while, without thinking about anything. Soon, he quietly put all the clothes in the most conspicuous place on the table, turned around and went into the bathroom empty-handed.

Student Xiao Li, who has been a solo student since birth, is obsessed with love. Liang Sunian tells him not to do anything, but then he thinks he can't ruin her marriage. What if his feeling is just an illusion, and the girl really adores him and wants to be friends with him as Li Tang said

Liang Sunian then said, "Okay, then just have a good chat first, you might just meet your love."

Li Tang scratched the back of his head: "Hehe, I think so too. People admire me, so I certainly can't let them down, right?"

Liang Sunian nodded, returned the phone to his father, and when he turned around, he saw a set of pajamas lying alone on the table.

Sigh helplessly.

How could this kid forget to bring clothes after taking a bath

I took it up to the balcony and heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom. I leaned over and waited patiently for a while. When the water stopped, I knocked on the door and said, "Xiao Xie, are you still taking a shower?"

The person inside responded: "Well, do you want to use the bathroom now?"

Liang Sunian admired the child's naivety and teased him, "If I need it now, will you let me?"

Xie Jia was silent for a few seconds, and then agreed: "Yes, you can go in with your eyes closed."

Liang Sunian was immediately amused: "Are you stupid? Did you check to see if you brought your clothes in? What? Are you planning to go out naked later?"

He knocked on the door again: "Leave a gap, Xiao Liang will get it for you."

Soon there was the sound of a lock being unlocked, and the person inside obediently opened the door a crack, but it was not a small crack.

Xie Jiaxuan poked his head out from behind the door and looked in. His wet hair was neatly stuck to his forehead, and half of his bare, thin shoulders were exposed.

He stretched out a hand to take the clothes.

Liang Sunian's eyes glanced over unintentionally, and then stopped.

I have to admit that boys' bodies are very good-looking.

Different from what I saw in the dimly-lit dressing room that day, now she was half-covered, and her cold white skin was turned pink by the water vapor.

There were water droplets in the depression of the clavicle, and the arms were slender and well-proportioned, also with water droplets condensed on them, with smooth bone structure, clear and beautiful.

Just when Xie Jia's fingertips were about to touch his clothes, Yong withdrew his gaze and raised his hand to avoid it.

She cleared her throat a little uncomfortably and said, "Let me go. Your hands are all wet. Don't get your clothes wet."

The wall hook was near the door. Liang Sunian reached in to hang up the clothes, and Xie Jiaxuan also went to take it. When he withdrew his hand, the backs of their hands touched each other.

A warmth seemed to gently hook the outside of my little finger.

The palm of my hand was scratched lightly, intentionally or unintentionally, and the itchiness spread.

Liang Sunian couldn't help but curl up his fingers and tried to hold the rebellious hand, but unfortunately it only lasted for a second before the other party bent his fingers and pulled them back.

"Thanks."

Xie Jiaxuan spoke to Yong in a soft and light tone, and there was also a hint of wet coldness in his eyes when he looked at Yong.

Like a proud young deer, it stretched out its long and beautiful limbs, turned in a circle on the spot, then leaped back towards me and hit my chest with its soft antlers that had not yet fully developed.

When I subconsciously wanted to catch him, he disappeared on the spot.

Liang Sunian looked at the closed door in front of him and was stunned and confused for a long time. He couldn't figure out where that inexplicable emotion came from and what it meant.

In the end, it all turned into helplessness and no need to care, and was forgotten about.

However, there was another sudden and clear idea.

Will someone like Xie Jiaxuan become a girl's boyfriend in the future, protect someone wholeheartedly, shelter her from the wind and rain, and become the harbor that she can completely rely on

It's beyond imagination.

The slender and beautiful figure I had just seen flashed through my mind, and the preconceived impression was deepened again. I always felt that Xie Jiaxuan should be the one who should be properly protected and treasured.

You should have your own harbor, otherwise you should become someone else's harbor.

In the bathroom separated by a door.

Xie Jiaxuan looked down at his hands and slowly twisted them with his wet fingertips.

He suddenly closed his eyes and raised his hands to cover his ears which were getting hot.

Turn on the faucet and let the warm water flow through your body from head to toe.

The pink color all over her body did not fade for a long time, but this time it was not because of the hot steam in the bathroom or for some other reason.
