Chapter 36 - Secret Admirer
Night time back at the dormitory Jiang Qi lying on his bed couldnā€™t sleep. He could not help getting out of bed and took the comic book he put inside the drawer. He also took his flashlight and drill back inside his quilt to see.
*******
Ye Yi pressed Pei Qian under his body, trying hard to take off his clothes but in the moment he was trying, Pei Qian turned his body over and pressure him back. Ye Yi at the beginning was surprised but afterwards charmingly bashful taking off his own clothes. Jiang Qi read dumbfoundedly. After their ā€œHā€ finished, Ye Yi on Pei Qianā€™s body confessed. After listening, Pei Qian told Ye Yi he himself actually quite early already like him. Precisely when Ye Yi wanted to be his friend that time. Afterwards, both of them finally together. At the last pages of the comic Pei Qian said: ā€œPerhaps at the beginning you already like this friend which always been by your side, only you didnā€™t realize it. Try to immerse yourself in that feeling for a moment and just try to be together with him .ā€
*******
Jiang Qi reading ā€˜friend by your sideā€™ this sentence, subconsciously his mind drifted to Ke Yan. He shakes his head repeatedly trying to throw off this idea out of his mind.
Friend at your side?
Jiang Qi unconsciously put Ke Yan in that position... in fact he and Ke Yan is not impossible, right?
Thinking about it, Jiang Qi could not help but to laugh...a minute later...silly laughing Jiang Qi suddenly froze and the smile become stiff. Why would I think so?
Did I actually like Ke Yan?
Although last time he realize his feeling towards Ke Yan was different from other people, but does that really mean he likes him?
If he really like him? Then...does Ke Yan like him as well?
Jiang Qi confusedā€¦ this kind of feeling, is it really liking a person?
Wanted to be together with Ke Yan, if he did not see Ke Yan he would feel lost, really want to work hard with him as a friend to stand together. Occasionally being in close contact with him will make his heartbeat fast and his face easily heatedā€¦.
This feeling is ā€˜likeā€™? And he likes Ke Yan?
Jiang Qi wailed and drilled his head into the quilt. The next day up, Liu Hao looked at Jiang Qi for a moment before he said: ā€œJiang Qi..did you sleepwalking ah last night?ā€
Jiang Qi snappily glared at him and yawned.
Yesā€¦ Jiang Qi was destined for an insomnia last nightā€¦...
Jiang Qi whole night did not sleep well so the spirit is a little bit weak. Morning has been yawning non-stop. Holding his textbook, from upstairs down to the fourth floor, his eyes couldnā€™t help but to look past the close door of a dormitory. Hopefully Ke Yan has gone to his class. Itā€™s rare for Jiang Qi to think that he donā€™t want to see Ke Yan but since reading that comic book last night, he felt embarrassed. His heart also inexplicable. At one side he wants to see Ke Yan but another side he was a little bit reluctant. Jiang Qi felt that his spirit was about to split apart.
Sometimes when you want to see that people, he wonā€™t appear in front of you but when you donā€™t want to see himā€¦ he actually shows up.
When he still in contradictory mood thinking whether he would like to see Ke Yan or notā€¦ they met. Immediately he became nervous and then calmed down. Jiang Qi and Ke Yan stand at the staircase, one above and another one below. Jiang Qi in dazed searching inside his mind how better to greet Ke Yan: Alrightā€¦
But, before Jiang Qi can think well he was accidentally push down by another student who was in a hurry running down the stairs. As a result, Jiang Qi was miserably in the process of falling down the stairs.
Jiang Qi subconsciously close his eyes... guess this fall if not head broken and bleeding also he will plunge down to dog eat feces ba. But the expected pain did not come rather he felt like he has fallen into a warm embrace. Jiang Qi breathe in the familiar smell of Ke Yan. Turned out he was caught by Ke Yan. Very warm embrace ah, very good smell ah. At this moment, Jiang Qi was like a puppy desperately immersed in the flavor of Ke Yanā€™s body.
TLN: ē‹—吃屎 - Gouchi Shi (gĒ’u chÄ« chÄ«), the body falls forward posture (with ridicule): fell a ~. [fall on the ground face down]
Ke Yan saw Jiang Qi fell down quickly came to catch him. As a result, Jiang Qi was he safely hugged in his arms and did not move for some times. Ke Yan thoughts Jiang Qi was frightened so he pulled him out from his arms and repeatedly stroking his hair: ā€œAre you okay?ā€
Momentarily absent-minded, Jiang Qi stuttered to answer: ā€œ......no, no...Iā€™m okay.ā€
ā€œYour faceā€¦ how so red like this?ā€
ā€œAh? Probably because itā€™s too hot.ā€ Jiang Qi weakly replied, at the same time he felt his face getting redder.
Ke Yan looked at Jiang Qi two layer of clothing. Lately temperature drop down and early morning is very cold, so he reminded him: ā€œ Do not take off your outerwear, careful not to catch the cold.ā€
ā€œN...nā€¦ I got it.ā€
Jiang Qi think since he already knew that he like Ke Yan, then he would obediently stayed by Ke Yanā€™s side ba. Because he felt happy also very satisfied with the status quo. So this secret he must kept inside his heart and never let Ke Yan know, for he fear he would lose him.
Jiang Qiā€™s wish is very simple. He only wants to be together with Ke Yan, just together only.
Butā€¦. really merely wants to be simply together only ba?
Recently the weather begins to get more and more cold. Almost everyone will wear two layers of clothing including Jiang Qi.
ā€œJiang Qi.ā€ Someone came and slapped his shoulder.
Jiang Qi take off his headset: ā€œWhat happened?ā€
That person is Jiang Qiā€™s classmate, he said: ā€œThere are two beauty waiting for you outside.ā€
Beauty? Jiang Qi looked towards the entrance and sure enough saw two beautiful girls standing there.
Jiang Qi stood up and went to the entrance.
Jiang Qi do not know them so he was puzzled: ā€œDo you have something to find me?ā€
The two girls suddenly looked at him mysteriously and said: ā€œYou in a while go to the small road at the left side of the library, we have something to find you.ā€
ā€œWhatā€™s the matter? Now...cannot talk ah?ā€
ā€œCannot. Andā€¦.ā€ said until here, the two girls suddenly gave a weird smiles: ā€œActually, to find you is not us but another person.ā€
ā€œWho?ā€ Jiang Qi really cannot understand, in the end who is looking for him.ā€
And looking at this two girls standing in front of him with such a strange smile, he felt the weather really cold so maybe thatā€™s why their face frozen stiff.
Why their smile Ā are so unnatural.
Although this request really strange and the girlsā€™ expression also strange but because the two of them request for his help then in the end Jiang Qi just agreed to their request.
Jiang Qi went to the left side of the library road but thereā€™s nobody there. Not yet arrive?
Jiang Qi frowned but decided to wait for a while.
Five minutes passed and Jiang Qi patiently continue to wait.
Ten minutes passed, Jiang Qi has become slightly impatient.
Twenty minutes later Jiang Qi felt bored and decided not to wait anymore.
All along Jiang Qiā€™s patience has been quite good but his so-called endurance varying from person to person. To like this unacquainted person, Jiang Qi at most will wait around half an hour. Obviously this meeting was under those girls arrangement but it is their own people that late to arrive. This matter made Jiang Qiā€™s patience from half an hour to become ten minutes short. But when he was ready to leave, someone call him to stop.
In front of him, the girl was clutching her hands together while grabbing the front of her clothes. She was looking very nervous . Jiang Qiā€™s mind is wandering thinking where he has seen this girl.
Have not waited for Jiang Qi to remember, the girl first to open her mouth: ā€œHello, Jiang Qi. In fact Iā€¦..Iā€¦. today Iā€¦.today Iā€¦.ā€
Looking at her stuttering appearance, Jiang Qi suddenly rememberā€¦ this is not the day of the birthday party trying to speak to him that girl?
Her name seems to beā€¦ Qiao Mi Er.
