A long meeting was taking place in the teaching building, and all the students were driven out. The playground was noisy, with constant laughter and occasionally a few students would run over to chase and play.
Whenever they saw Xie Ruan and Bo Jin sitting by the flower bed from afar, they would glance at them curiously.
Xie Ruan ignored these inquiring looks. He widened his eyes, almost thinking that he was hallucinating.
What did Bo Jin just say? Like him
Which kind of like? Friends or...
Xie Ruan's head was dizzy and his heart was beating uncontrollably. He calmed down and opened his mouth to ask something, then he realized belatedly that the two of them were in an ambiguous position.
Foreheads against foreheads, noses against noses, and they kissed almost as soon as they moved a little.
Xie Ruan instantly jumped away, and even his words were a little unclear: "You, you, you, don't joke with me."
Xie Ruan cursed himself for being useless. He hadn't figured out what was going on yet, so why was he so nervous? It wasn't necessarily what he thought it meant. Maybe Bo Jin was just trying to comfort him.
Even so, Xie Ruan's face was still flushed. His skin was white, and the redness was particularly obvious. Even without looking at Xie Ruan, he knew what a coward he was.
Damn, you are not calm, it’s not like I haven’t heard such words before! Xie Ruan licked the tip of his fangs, turned his head to cover it up, and suddenly his head was grabbed.
"Are you kidding?" Bo Jin turned his face and looked into his eyes. He was not allowed to escape or to whitewash the situation. "Who is kidding you?"
He snorted and laughed, took a deep breath, and held Xie Ruan's hand against his chest, letting him feel his heartbeat. He said word by word, "I like you, and I want to be your boyfriend and kiss you, hug you, and sleep with you openly. Do you understand?"
God damn, kiss him, hug him, sleep with him! Who would say something like this when confessing their love
Xie Ruan's cheeks flushed red, not knowing whether it was out of embarrassment or annoyance. His mind went blank, and he subconsciously asked, "Why didn't I sleep with you?"
After realizing what had happened to him, Xie Ruan was completely stunned. He wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into. Was he crazy? Was this what he was thinking now? !
Bo Jin was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help laughing.
"That's great." He raised his hand and hooked Xie Ruan's chin, breathed into his ear, and chuckled, "I can reward you with a navel orange."
"Get lost!" Xie Ruan slapped his hand away. Because she was too flustered, she didn't put her hands out in the open, nor did she put them in her pockets. She simply plucked a piece of plump and tender leaves and rubbed them slowly between her fingertips.
Green juice oozed out and stained a small area on his finger. Xie Ruan lowered his eyes, and his gaze finally found a place to go.
When he was in junior high school, he was quite popular in school. He would be picked up from time to time, and it was common for him to be stopped on the playground and confessed to in public.
But no matter how Fang looked or how few people were watching, he never got nervous. Only this time, feeling his slightly rapid breathing, Xie Ruan almost suspected that his wildly beating heart would burst out of his throat in the next second.
"Xie Ruan," Bo Jin held Xie Ruan's hand and bent down to kiss the top of his head, "But you will think that my personality is..." He paused and smiled, "Not that serious."
Xie Ruan raised his eyes instantly, feeling that this man still had self-awareness.
"But those words I said to tease you before were not just for fun," Bo Jin looked at him, smiling and focused, "I just liked you so much that I couldn't help it."
The sun danced among the flowers, leaving only a fleeting glimpse of light. The weather was sunny and the wind was gentle.
Bo Jin's voice was gentle and he slowly sent it into Xie Ruan's ears: "I have never pursued anyone before, I don't know how to do it and I have no experience, so I will do it my own way."
His hand moved from the back of Xie Ruan's neck to the side of his face, lifted his face, lowered his head to look at him, and whispered: "Hey, are you with me?"
Just nodding his head, how can he confess his feelings like this? Why doesn't he just decide it himself
and…
Xie Ruan looked away uncomfortably, not looking at Bo Jin, at least giving him time to think about it.
He knew that he liked Bo Jin, but he never thought about having a relationship with Bo Jin.
The rest of high school was over, and Xie Ruan only had two things on his mind. One was to study and get into college. The other was to stop Bo Jin from committing suicide.
As for the rest, I have no time and no thought.
But Bo Jin likes him...
Xie Ruan was not prepared at all. He was caught off guard and his brain almost froze. He was struggling to think of how to respond when he suddenly heard Bo Jin say, "Well, I understand."
Xie Ruan was stunned. No, he hadn’t said a word yet. What did he understand
"Silence means consent. You are too shy to say it, right? Okay, I understand," Bo Jintou said seriously, "From now on I am yours..."
"No," all the blood in his body rushed to his face. Xie Ruan felt that he had blushed more times today than in all the previous years. He interrupted Bo Jin angrily, "That's not what I meant. Don't talk nonsense!"
"So what do you mean?" Bo Jin knew very well that one should make a strong effort at the first blow, then decline and finally exhaust himself. He pressed on step by step, not giving Xie Ruan any chance to breathe.
"I..." Looking at Bo Jin's smiling gaze, Xie Ruan felt that her flustered appearance was really embarrassing. He was the one who confessed, so why was she the one who was nervous
Xie Ruan took a breath and pretended to be calm, "I'm going to go back and think about it."
He didn't shake his head or refuse outright, but thought about it. This answer was too clear. Bo Jinda was not in a hurry to get an answer: "Okay, there are plenty of places here. You can do it wherever you want, in the room or in our bed."
Wait, what room and bed? Xie Ruan took a while to understand what he meant, and immediately said, "I have to go back during the winter vacation, so I won't go with you."
Bo Jingang had just confessed his love to him, and it was too awkward for them to continue to stay in the same space. He also wanted to be alone for a few days to sort out his thoughts.
Hearing this, Bo Jin raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure you don't want to go?"
Xie Ruan shook his head and said firmly: "No."
Bo Jin smiled: "So the things you put in my pocket are not for future use, but for me as a souvenir?" He deliberately played a trick, stretched out his hand and gently pinched Xie Ruan's earlobe, looked at him with satisfaction and shivered, and continued before he could get angry, "Got it, I'll keep it."
"The things I left behind?" Xie Ruangong was distracted by him and asked back in confusion, not understanding what he meant. He packed all his clothes and textbooks and brought them here, so he shouldn't have left anything behind.
Bo Jin reminded him: "What did you hang out on the balcony last night?"
Xie Ruan was startled, and suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to collect his washed underwear, which was still hanging on Bo Jin's clothesline.
Damn it! Xie Ruan was so ashamed that he wanted to bang his head against the wall. He even took a few pieces of draft paper, how could he forget this! He had recited it silently several times in the bathroom after washing. If he had known, he would have set an alarm!
Bo Jin looked at his ashamed and angry face, and tried to hold back, but in the end he couldn't help laughing out loud.
In return, Xie Ruan gave him a cold look: "If you remember, why didn't you remind me?"
"You overestimate me," Bo Jin was very thick-skinned, not hiding his intentions at all, and stretched out his long legs and said lazily, "I wish you could stay with me, both you and your belongings."
Xie Ruan was still immersed in embarrassment, but when he heard these words, his ears felt hot and he could no longer think about anything else.
Bo Jin actually knew the reason why Xie Ruan didn't go to him, and he didn't want to "force" him. Xie Ruan was too thin-skinned, so he had to give him some time to digest it. Besides, even if they were going to live together, he had to go back and pack his things first.
Bo Jin reached out and gently pushed Xie Ruan's forehead: "I was just kidding you, it's a big deal, there's nothing to be ashamed of. I'll keep the clothes for you, you can wear them next time you come."
After a pause, he chuckled and said, "I've helped you so much, don't you have to do me a favor as well?"
Even though he still felt a little embarrassed, Xie Ruan still looked up and asked, "What's up?"
After knowing each other for so long, Bo Jin has never asked him for help. Could it be related to the rooftop? Xie Ruan was just thinking about it when he heard Bo Jin say, "Think about it earlier. Don't make me wait too long, okay?"
Xie Ruan was speechless.
Bo Jin did not urge him, but just lowered his eyes and looked at him quietly.
After a while, Xie Ruan turned his head and uttered a low "hmm".
