Xie Zhuxing drove on the way back instead of Wang Chao. He sat in the passenger’s seat, shaking his head happily.
Xie Zhuxing asked him, “What did you go off to do?”
Wang Chao looked at him with a lascivious expression and said, “When to do someone, hehe.”
He was already tired after a whole day’s classes, but then he was dragged along to go clubbing. In the end, he sat alone in a noisy bar and drank lemonade for an hour.
He was already a bit upset, now that he found out Wang Chao had gone off to hook up with someone within that one hour, his unhappiness increased tenfold.
He suppressed his anger and said, “Why did you pull me along if you were going to go off and do that?”
Wang Chao couldn’t see that he was unhappy at all. He said, “If I leave you at the dormitory, what if they gang up on you and bully you?”
“What are you saying? Why would they want to bully me out of nowhere?”
“You never know, they don’t like me and know that they can’t do anything about me. They know that we’re close and your attitude is good, it’s possible that they’ll want to bully you.”
In reality, Wang Chao just didn’t want to let Xie Zhuxing and Ji Jie go back to the dormitories together.
Xie Zhuxing got even more angry when he heard all that nonsense. “Everybody tries their best in class all day, not wanting to fall behind and bother others, we’re all tired as hell when we go back to the dorms, you think everyone is like you? You think everyone has time to pretend like they’re in a show like you? You’ve never properly attended class and all you do is think of ways to laze around.”
He couldn’t believe it. “Are you giving me an attitude?”
Wang Chao questioned, “I asked, are you giving me attitude?!”
Xie Zhuxing was a bit annoyed. “If you say I am, then I am.”
“What do you mean if you say I am then I am? Speak clearly.”
Xie Zhuxing felt that if he kept on talking, he was going to flip. So he kept quiet as he continued driving the car peacefully. The road back was silent.
Wang Chao was far more confused than angry.
He didn’t understand, why did the good attitude Xie Zhuxing suddenly start giving him an attitude? Wasn’t everything fine before?
Why did he suddenly reprimand him for being lazy? It’s not like he only started being lazy today.
They both didn’t say a word on the way back.
It was already 12 o’clock when they got back. The living room light was still on, but there was no one there. Everyone else seemed to be asleep, it was quiet.
The two walked into the room with a straight face, both not speaking.
Wang Chao sat on his bed with a face full of anger. He waited for Xie Zhuxing to admit defeat first. He felt that he was definitely going to come coax him.
But who knew that Xie Zhuxing didn’t even spare a glance at him. He changed his clothes and went to take a shower.
He was extremely angry and there was nowhere to release his anger. He got up on Xie Zhuxing’s bed with his shoes on and stomped angrily for a while.
There were two bathrooms in the dorms. Xie Zhuxing took a quick shower in one of them, when he came out, he realized that the light for the other bathroom was still on. The door was open, he thought that someone had forgotten to close the light. As he walked over, wanting to close the light, he saw Ji Jie inside, taking out clothes from the washing machine.
“Ji Jie,” Xie Zhuxing said, “why are you washing your clothes so late at night?’
Ji Jie turned around and saw that it was Xie Zhuxing. “Nah, I had washed it when I came back, I suddenly remembered just as I was about to fall asleep that I haven’t taken it out to dry yet.”
Xie Zhuxing saw that he had difficulty with one of his hands, he asked, “What happened to your right hand?”
“I accidentally slipped today when dancing, I think I twisted my tendon.”
Xie Zhuxing walked over and helped him take the clothes out. They were all jackets, but it seemed that none of them looked to fit him right. All of the clothes had been washed white.
“Thank you, ge. When did you get back?”
“I just got back. I’ll help you put it on the balcony, it’s not easy for you right now.”
Ji Jie felt a bit embarrassed and said, “I’ll just do it slowly myself.”
The two walked to the balcony that was connected to the living room. Ji Jie held the clothes as Xie Zhuxing helped him put them on the hanger one by one. Ji Jie thanked him again, then they each went back to their room.
Xie Zhuxing closed the door as he walked in, Wang Chao said in a strange tone, “Oh? You’re willing to come back?”
Xie Zhuxing saw the dirty shoe marks on his bed and also blurted out some curse words. But he held them back, and said, “Clean it.”
Wang Chao refused strongy, “Why? I’m not gonna.”
Wang Chao blinked, Alright? Alright what?
Xie Zhuxing walked away from his dirtied bed and took off his flip flops, then laid down on Wang Chao’s bed.
“Changing beds with you.”
Of course, Wang Chao wasn’t willing. “Yea right, get up get up.”
He walked over angrily, wanting to pull Xie Zhuxing up from his bed. But as soon as he reached out his arm, he was pushed by the back, and fell with his butt on the ground.
Having a brother who had practiced Sanda before, he understood a bit of what had just happened. He was stunned as he said, “What the fuck? You’ve done Sanda before?”
Xie Zhuxing closed his eyes, it seemed he was really getting ready to sleep here.
The Wang Chao who had been defeated many times now knew that he couldn’t fight the enemy, he could only resort to being shameless.
Xie Zhuxing’s eyes were closed as he heard some movement. He felt Wang Chao’s hand slip over and thought that he was going to pull him again, but then he quickly changed his mind. He opened his eyes, and saw that Wang Chao had laid the blanket on his body as the whole person jumped on the bed. Xie Zhuxing didn’t have any time to respond, Wang Chao quickly wrapped him and himself in the quilt.
Wang Chao’s proud face was close. “Push me,” he said.
He probably still felt unsafe as he quickly wrapped himself around Xie Zhuxing’s waist under the quilt.
Wang Chao laughed cheaply, “Hehehe, I dare you to push me.”
Xie Zhuxing really wanted to beat him up. He suppressed his anger, saying, “Let go, I’ll give the bed back to you.”
Wang Chao released him and Xie Zhuxing threw the blanket off. His aura cold as he changed his dirtied sheets.
The Wang Chao who had won this battle by his cheap tricks sat cross-legged on his bed, watching him clean up. He suddenly said, “Why did you help Trashy Ji wash his clothes? You’ve never washed my clothes before.”
Xie Zhuxing thought annoyed, You really think I’m your servant girl huh.
Wang Chao asked sourly, “When did you two get so close?”
Xie Zhuxing spread down the new sheets and said flatly, “It was inconvenient for him to hang his clothes up since he was injured, when did I wash his clothes for him?”
Wang Chao released a little anger, then said, “Why did you get angry suddenly on the way back?’
“Bullshit, you don’t speak like that usually.”
He looked at Xie Zhuxing with an aggrieved expression. “Xiao Xie, do you not like me anymore?’
Xie Zhuxing thought, When did I ever like you?
Wang Chao’s head drooped down as he said, “I know they all don’t like me, the only reason they endure it is because of Kun-ge. I know that even Kun-ge doesn’t like me that much, the only reason why he’s so kind to me is because of my big bro.”
Xie Zhuxing was a bit shocked. He knew Wang Chao was a fool, but he didn’t expect him to have such self-awareness.
Wang Chao looked at him again, and then said, “Only you’re not the same.”
Xie Zhuxing’s stopped making his sheets. “What…makes me different?” He asked.
Wang Chao scratched his head. “We’ve only known each other for a while and you don’t know my family background, but you’ve lent me your makeup remover and helped me remove my tattoo. I just think you might be a good person.”
Xie Zhuxing thought, It really is a miracle that you haven’t been kidnapped yet.
Wang Chao continued, “Usually when people see that I drive a Ferrari Enzo, they’ll kneel down and call me Daddy immediately. At the very least, they’ll want to get close with me. But you? You’re in a hurry to get away from me. I think you’re very real, it just so happened that you can dance and sing, so I gave Kun-ge’s business card to you.”
Xie Zhuxing thought about it. He had been annoyed to death by Wang Chao that day. At that moment he only thought about wanting to get away from him quickly; he didn’t think about if he helped him or not.
“That day at the auditions, Ji Jie had put me in a difficult position and you helped me get out of it. Then I saw how handsome you were when you were dancing, I liked you so much. I wanted to debut with you and eat hot pot with you. I wanted to tell you about my family but you didn’t want to listen. Even now I’m still a bit puzzled, aren’t you curious when Kun-ge is so dotting on me?”
“…that has nothing to do with me.”
“It doesn’t have anything to do with other people either, but they always want to know. Especially Gao Siyuan, he’s beat around the bush so many times about it.”
Wang Chao picked his feet as he said, “Whatever, you’re just not like them. I like you a lot, I wanna play with you.”
He asked Xie Zhuxing, “You don’t hate me right?”
What could he say? “….No.”
Wang Chao grinned and said, “I knew it. If you really didn’t like me then you wouldn’t hang out with me. If you didn’t have a girlfriend I would’ve thought you had a crush on me.”
Xie Zhuxing thought, How shameless are you? Ask anyone else, who has a crush on who?
