For Yu Ning's safety, Ji Mingxia must not reveal anything about Ding Jialin to anyone else.
But at the same time, Ji Mingxia was a little worried about Ye Chen and Ye Tian.
Ding Jialin treated them as reserve food. Now he is injured. Since he has harmed Yu Ning, is it possible that he will attack Ye Chen and Ye Tian
Taking advantage of Ye Tian's discharge from the hospital and her return to the entertainment industry, Ji Mingxia actively chatted with Ye Tian in the next few days. Through indirect inquiry, he confirmed that the two had never seen Ding Jialin since that day.
Ye Chen and Ye Tian were obviously used to Ding Jialin's disappearance and didn't care.
After confirming that Ye Chen and Ye Tian were both safe, Ji Mingxia gradually felt relieved.
Ye Tian would often ask Ji Mingxia whether he had opened the gift boxes and what he thought of using them...
Ji Mingxia was so scared that he pretended to be dead and never dared to chat with Ye Tian again.
On the day before New Year's Day, it was Ji Mingxia's dormitory's turn to participate in the student union's charity event.
Ji Mingxia's prediction was correct. They were arranged by the Student Union to participate in a charity activity to take care of stray animals. The stray animal home they visited in their previous life was not far from the school, and this time they were going to another stray animal shelter located in a remote suburb.
"The location of this stray animal shelter is diagonally opposite to our school. If we take a bus there, it will take nearly seven hours to go back and forth, and it will take a whole day." Lin Cheng said, "The student union means that in addition to reimbursing our bus fare, they will also reimburse some of our accommodation expenses, so that we can stay there for one night. The next day, those who want to go back to school can go back, and those who want to go home for New Year's Day can go home by themselves."
Lin Cheng said, looking at Ji Mingxia with some pride: "This treatment is not bad, but I fought for it for a long time and finally got it with great effort."
Ji Mingxia nodded and asked casually, "Stay one night in a shelter?"
"How can that be possible? If you want to stay, they don't have that many beds." Lin Cheng said, holding the form. "There is a small hotel near the shelter. I have already booked a king-size bed room. It just so happens that all the people going this time are men, so we can all stay in a room for one night."
"Double bed room?" Ji Mingxia was stunned for a moment, "Two people sleeping in one bed?"
"Yes." Lin Cheng said, looking at Ji Mingxia strangely, and said, "You and Yu Ning are a couple, so it's okay for you to sleep together, right?"
"I, I...how did you..." Ji Mingxia was caught off guard and almost choked. He widened his eyes and looked at Lin Cheng in horror, "How did you know that Yu Ning and I are a couple?!"
Ji Mingxia only found out about him and Yu Ning pretending to be a couple a few days ago, and it hasn't been announced to the public yet. How did Lin Cheng know about it
Lin Cheng didn't expect Ji Mingxia to react so strongly, and said in confusion: "I've always known it."
As for the relationship between Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning, only he knew about it, and the whole school tacitly agreed to it. It was just because homosexuality was a minority after all, so everyone discussed it in private and would not shout about it in front of Ji Mingxia.
Looking at Ji Mingxia's reaction... Could it be that he broke up with Yu Ning
Ji Mingxia on the opposite side was even more shocked.
Always knew?
"Then... does Luo Zixuan know?" Ji Mingxia couldn't help asking.
"I know." Seeing Ji Mingxia's unclear expression, Lin Cheng suddenly felt a little nervous.
I don't think we will really break up. He has already booked the room, and he will have to pay compensation if he cancels it.
Lin Cheng thought about it and decided to ask politely: "Mingxia, can you and Yu Ning still sleep in the same room now?"
Just at this moment, the sound of people talking was heard outside the dormitory door, and then Luo Zixuan and Yu Ning, who had just finished class, walked in together.
Seeing Ji Mingxia's face flushed and Lin Cheng's worried face, Luo Zixuan asked strangely: "What's wrong with you two? Did something happen?"
They all lived in the same dormitory and there was nothing to hide, so Lin Cheng was just about to tell Luo Zixuan.
Ji Mingxia was startled, and before Lin Cheng could speak, he quickly said, "Okay, okay, let's arrange it this way, it's great!"
Lin Cheng said: "Are you sure?"
Ji Mingxia felt Yu Ning's eyes on him, and fearing that Yu Ning would ask more questions, he nodded frantically: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm sure!"
Lin Cheng observed Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia and confirmed that they were no different from usual, so he felt relieved and did not ask any more questions.
After dinner, Ji Mingxia did not play games as usual. Instead, he quickly went to bed with his mobile phone and started searching secretly under the quilt.
At that time, Yu Ning asked him to pretend to be a couple. Although Ji Mingxia agreed immediately, when he woke up the next day, he thought he was dreaming because of drunkenness.
Yu Ning did not mention a word about this matter, so Ji Mingxia firmly believed that what he thought about during the day would appear in his dreams at night.
It was not until Ye Chen came that Ji Mingxia realized that all this was true.
But it was a little late to think about fulfilling his partner's duties now.
Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning spend every day together, and their way of getting along has long been fixed. Not only he and Yu Ning are used to it, but also Lin Cheng and Luo Zixuan are indifferent.
Ji Mingxia's sudden change in wanting to pretend to be a couple seemed quite strange.
But this time it's different.
They will go out of school, do charity work, and then sleep together in the same bed in a room.
Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning once slept together in the forest, but at that time, he and Yu Ning were still friends.
In the dormitory, although everyone sleeps in the same room, the situation is naturally different because there are two roommates, Lin Cheng and Luo Zixuan, next to them.
Now, he has been secretly in love with Yu Ning for a long time, and they are in a fake relationship. The two of them sleep together again, on a dark night with strong winds, and no outsiders disturb them...
Just thinking about it made Ji Mingxia's blood boil...
- Stop, stop. Although Yu Ning is very tempting, he will never take advantage of someone in distress!
Ji Mingxia plans to take advantage of this charity event to work harder, perform better, give full play to his abilities, and show his masculinity.
Even if they are pretending to be a couple, he wants Yu Ning to experience what it feels like to be loved and cared for in love.
After spending a whole night doing his homework, Ji Mingxia was woken up by the alarm clock the next morning with dark circles under his eyes.
According to his previous habit, after hearing the alarm clock, he would take a few more minutes to close his eyes and then take a nap.
But when he thought that he had to take care of Yu Ning from now on, Ji Mingxia resisted the drowsiness and got up from the bed in a daze. After washing up, he prepared to pack the things he needed for sleeping tonight.
"Face towel, toothbrush, toothpaste, pajamas, underwear..." Ji Mingxia looked at the list he made last night and started looking for them one by one, "ID card... Where is my ID card?"
"The ID card has been put into your black backpack." Yu Ning said, "In the innermost pocket of the backpack, where you usually put your ID card."
Upon hearing this, Ji Mingxia turned around blankly and found that Yu Ning had already bought breakfast and was sitting beside him, looking at him leisurely.
Looking at the black backpack again, it was obviously filled with Ji Mingxia's personal belongings, from daily necessities to documents, etc., all of which were neatly and meticulously packed.
Ji Mingxia said blankly: "When did you... help me clean it up?"
After waiting for Yu Ning to answer, Luo Zixuan, who came out of the bathroom, heard the words and said casually: "Last night, when you were lying on the bed playing with your phone, I saw Yu Ning helping you clean up."
Ji Mingxia: “…”
I am playing on my phone o(╥﹏╥)o
Yu Ning took the trouble to help him tidy it up, and was considerate and tidy. Although Ji Mingxia felt a little regretful, he still said, "Thank you, Yu Ning."
Yu Ning handed over the breakfast and said, "Eat."
Even though the idea of getting up early to pack luggage failed, it didn't matter. Ji Mingxia's strategy for the whole night was not only useful for packing luggage.
When setting off, the student union will arrange all students participating in the charity event to gather in the parking lot and wait for the minibus to pick them up.
It takes more than three hours to get from the school to the stray animal shelter.
The minibus was shaking for such a long time, and it was easy to get carsick and vomit if you sat in the back.
So Ji Mingxia’s plan was that as soon as the car arrived, he would rush forward and reserve a good seat for Yu Ning!
Thinking of Yu Ning's surprised look after he got the front seat, Ji Mingxia became full of energy and stared straight ahead with burning eyes.
After finally waiting for the car to arrive, Ji Mingxia just rolled up his sleeves and prepared to rush on, but the next moment, everyone stood in a row and queued up in an orderly manner to get on the car.
The four people from the dormitory, Yu Ning, Ji Mingxia, were standing at the front of the team.
"Do we have to queue up to get on the bus?" Ji Mingxia asked, unable to help asking.
Seeing Ji Mingxia's confused expression, Lin Cheng happily explained, "Because the journey is long, no one wants to sit in the back, so the seats in the car are decided by drawing lots. Yu Ning drew Sequence 1 last night."
The smile on Ji Mingxia's face froze for a moment: "Oh, so that's it..."
Luo Zixuan also said to him: "Yu Ning said you will get carsick, you will be the first one to go up later."
Ji Mingxia nodded and silently put down his rolled-up sleeves.
After suffering two consecutive blows, Ji Mingxia was a little frustrated, but he was not discouraged because he still had a third trick: taking a car!
During the three-hour journey, the minibus was shaking and Yu Ning felt sleepy from time to time.
And when Yu Ning feels sleepy, he will lend her a shoulder so that Yu Ning can snuggle up to him and sleep peacefully.
When Ji Mingxia thought of Yu Ning's sweet sleeping face after leaning on him and her shy look after waking up, he became motivated again.
There were four seats in the first row. Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning sat together, while Lin Cheng and Luo Zixuan sat in another row.
At the beginning, Ji Mingxia straightened his back, straightened his clothes and looked forward, ready to be leaned on by Yu Ning at any time.
But as the minibus started, the warm air from the air conditioner covered the entire car, and the winter sun shone in from the window, bringing waves of warmth. Ji Mingxia slowly sat up straighter.
He was prone to motion sickness. He read the travel guide too late last night, got up early today and didn't get enough sleep. Then, with the shaking of the train and the blowing of the air conditioner, he felt like he was about to fall asleep at any moment.
Feeling increasingly sleepy, Ji Mingxia couldn't help but turn around and steal a glance at Yu Ning to see if he was ready to go to bed.
Unexpectedly, Ji Mingxia actually saw Yu Ning holding a mobile phone and reading documents!
Ji Mingxia asked in a low voice: "Yu Ning, are you sleepy?"
Yu Ning was concentrating on reading, without even raising his head: "I'll read the information for a while, and then go to sleep."
When Ji Mingxia heard this, he felt relieved. As long as Yu Ning could sleep, his mission could be accomplished!
Ji Mingxia immediately said: "Then tell me when you feel sleepy, you can sleep on me, it will be more comfortable this way."
"Okay." Yu Ning said.
Ji Mingxia didn't disturb Yu Ning anymore. He leaned back in his chair, relaxed, and slowly closed his eyes.
Since Yu Ning was still planning to sleep, he would take advantage of this time to secretly take a nap, and then wake up when Yu Ning told him that she was sleepy, and then take good care of Yu Ning...
Ji Mingxia thought about this, and under the combined effects of motion sickness and drowsiness, he fell into a deep sleep within a minute.
After Ji Mingxia fell asleep, Yu Ning immediately put his phone aside.
Feeling Ji Mingxia's body slowly leaning towards the window, Yu Ning stretched out his hand and carefully protected Ji Mingxia's head.
After making sure that Ji Mingxia was sleeping soundly, Yu Ning exerted slight force on his hands and allowed Ji Mingxia's head to slowly rest on his shoulder.
Ji Mingxia was obviously very accustomed to the scent of Yu Ning. When he rested his head on Yu Ning's shoulder, he did not wake up, but slept more peacefully.
Yu Ning looked at his sleeping face and saw that he was sleeping soundly. Thinking of Ji Mingxia's secret behavior just now, he couldn't help but smile softly.
