Chapter 45
Ye Zhou carried the big and small bags back to dormitory.
Usually, sitting in his seat, hes always able to see Shang Jins figure with a turn of his head. Now, he was a bit unaccustomed to the completely empty space.
Ye Zhou took out the kitten and put it together with the rabbit doll.
Worthy of being brother and sister. They were both pink and putting them together also had a little brother and sister semblance. He laughed and took the new clothes to the sink, soaking them in detergent water.
When the water was drained, he heard the sound of a phone. Ye Zhou turned off the faucet to carefully identified it. Making sure that the dorm was quiet, he shook his head and turned on the faucet again.
After hanging the clothes to dry, it seemed like he heard the ringing of his mobile phone again. Three steps merged into two, he had just opened the backpack zipper when the phone pressed at the bottom rang and vibrated.
Looking at the contact on the screen, he was a bit distracted.
You can actually answer the phone! Frightened me to death. I thought you werent there! A very lively voice came through the receiver. I wanted to surprise you on May Day, but who knew that youd give me a fright first?
Shang Ming?? Ye Zhou was pleasantly surprised. You came over?
Isnt it? Come pick me up! Im just in front of your school.
Right away! Ye Zhou and Shang Ming had the best relationship when they were in high school. But because Shang Ming overall grades werent good, tending to overemphasize some subjects over others, his overall grade wasnt too good and the Ye parents didnt like him. Ye Zhou didnt mind his parents nagging his ears off, and still went on his own way. It wasnt easy to meet Shang Ming after attending university. Hed originally offered to meet up once during winter vacation, but who knew that Shang Ming would go on a trip and he wasnt able to meet up with him. He didnt expect that this time, Shang Ming would actually run over to A City.
Worried that Shang Ming had brought more things, Ye Zhou rode the little pedicab toward the gate of A University.
Shang Ming stood in front of the gate and took pictures of the gaudy and outlandish little pedicab he saw from afar. It was as if hed immediately been injected with chicken blood.
Haha, this magical car must be photographed and sent to my circle of friends. As a person who loved making friends, Shang Ming would always take out his mobile phone when he sees some novel things. But unfortunately, this little pedicab was a little far away and the picture wasnt too clear
Close
Closer
After Shang Ming took several successive photos, the pedicab that hed dubbed outlandish stopped in front of him. The door opened and he saw a familiar handsome face.
Holyshit!
As the car had already become a famous car, Ye Zhou riding it wouldnt consider it as anything different. Seeing Shang Ming still with an unclear expression, he said, What are you staring at? You didnt bring any luggage?
No Shang Ming circled around the car and still couldnt believe that his good friend had actually degenerated into driving a pedicab. Dont have a car, then cant we properly ride a bike? If I hadnt come here this time, I wouldnt have known where your aesthetic had deviated to.
Ye Zhou smiled insincerely and said, Believe it or not, dare to speak malicious words about this car on A Uni, the whole school would raise money to do you in.
Shang Ming was completely stupefied.
Ye Zhou pointed to the backseat and said, Quickly get in. The average person cant sit even if they want to sit.
Shang Ming was extremely reluctant as he got into the rear compartment and incessantly muttered, People from major universities are really unconventional enough.
Originally thinking that sitting in this kind of car, he would be taken as a monkey on display, but he didnt expect that all along the way, there were indeed many people paying attention, but no one showed a ridiculing or mocking smile.
Shang Ming sighed, So abnormal, the institution for higher learning is really tolerant.
Hurry up and come out. Ye Zhou locked the car and looked at his backpack again. You didnt bring clothes.
Why should I bring clothes when visiting my brother? Shang Ming seized his shoulders and said, I can just wear yours, so I brought some change of underwear.
Ye Zhou disdainfully said, You really dont see yourself as an outsider.
Shang Ming wasnt the least bit ashamed, said, Were the best of friends.
On the fourth floor, Ye Zhou opened the dorm door.
Similar to our dorm. Shang Ming circled around the dorm and saw a neat table and said with certainty, This is yours, right?
Wrong, this is mine. Ye Zhou hurriedly left in the morning and hed left the book hed been reading on the table, while hed just helped to tidy up Shang Jins desk yesterday. Today when Shang Jin left, he didnt touch it at all, so comparing the two, Shang Jins table was cleaner.
Shang Ming stood in the middle, glanced at Shang Jins desk and glanced at Ye Zhous desk, and doubted, But hes got the same technique as you.
You dont say! Its because hes the one who tidied it up. Of course, Ye Zhou also didnt think of saying more. If Shang Ming knew his situation, hed get gossipy. If he said that hed helped Shang Jin arrange it, Shang Ming would definitely get to the heart of the matter. He changed the topic and asked, Did you eat at noon?
Yeah. Shang Ming wasnt tired from taking the train at all. In high spirits, he looked here and looked there. Youre still raising flowers in the dorm. How are you raising them? The leaf is all broken but still dont hurry to pick it. Leaving it is a waste of soil nutrients. Saying this, he reached out his hand to help.
Stop Ye Zhou quickly grabbed his hand. Dont look at this as only half a leaf. Not only did Shang Jin not plan to remove it, but he was also ready to buy a large pot to supply more soil and also apply fertilizer from time to time. This is my roommates stuff. How many leaves are in the flowerpot and how many millimeters the leaves grew are all clearly recorded. Not mentioning that you touch the most conspicuous leaf, even if you pulled the weeds from the flowerpot, hed be able to find out when he comes back.
Shang Ming embarrassingly withdrew his hand. Thats too scary. Still recording it is so much trouble.
Isnt it? Obviously, Shang Jin hated trouble the most. Every morning, he took pains to record the strawberry seedling progress and calculate the day it would flower and bear fruit.
Could it be because he wanted to eat strawberries?
Ye Zhou hesitated whether to buy some strawberries before Shang Jin returned to school tomorrow.
After a short rest in the dorm, Shang Ming proposed to visit A Uni, and Ye Zhou rode the pedicab and acted as a guide for the day.
Good schools arent the same, having such a large area in such a good location. Shang Ming saw a good view and took out his phone to take photos and record a little video. Where is it like us? If we want to go downtown, we have to take the school bus and walk for half an hour.
I made so many notes for you at that time. If youd reviewed them well, wouldnt you have been able to get into the same university as me?
What a joke. My third year in high school, that semester when I went through your devil cramming and raised my score by fifty points, it had already taken my little life. Want to be in the same school as you? Itd be a bit faster if I dream.
The two people met a lot of students on the road. Although Ye Zhou didnt know many of them, but it was no match for other people knowing him. Seeing Ye Zhou together with a stranger, one after the other, they vigilantly asked, Zhou, your friend?
Ye Zhou smiled and replied, Yeah, high school friend. He came to play over the holiday.
What about Shang Jin?
Went home.
For some reason, Ye Zhou always felt that everyone was looking at him like he was a cheating wife.
Shang Ming couldnt make head or tail of it and said, Why do people look at me with hostility? Do you have good relations with people or not?
Its an illusion. Ye Zhou comforted, You dont know them, so why should they be hostile to you?
Thats true.
After eating dinner, Ye Zhou went to the supermarket to help Shang Ming buy toiletries and took him back to the dormitory.
No one else was in the dorm today, so the sleeping arrangement was easy.
Originally, Ye Zhou wanted Shang Ming to sleep in his own bed and he would sleep in Shang Jins bed. As a result, when he intended to send a message to Shang Jin, he felt something was wrong, and finally turned to Wen Renxus bed next to his.
Why dont we sleep together? I think your bed is quite wide. Its 1.2 meters.
Ye Zhou gave him a cold stare. Even if its wide, it cant accommodate two big men. I dont want to fall out of bed at night.
Then, we can sleep and chat together before going to bed.
Ye Zhou supported his forehead. This good friend of his, dont look at his lively outer appearance, he had a particularly annoying habit of liking to hold things when he sleeps, even claiming that he cant sleep without holding something. One time in high school, he had a sleepover at Shang Mings home and discovered that he had two body pillows on his bed. This time, he came suddenly. If Ye Zhou had known earlier, hed definitely have bought him a big long pillow.
And there was one more point. Ye Zhou said with his arms crossed, I really have no interest in girls.
What do I have to worry about? If you like me, you would have liked me long ago and wouldnt have waited until now. And Im perfectly straight. Even if you look better, youre still a man and I still like fragrant and soft girls. Mentioning this, Shang Ming felt deeply helpless. Why cant I, who want a girlfriend, get a girlfriend, while you, with such qualifications, actually arent attracted to girls. Such a waste. Your entire body, up and down, is superior!
This wasnt the first time Shang Ming had said this, so Ye Zhou directly ignored him. After showering, he reluctantly squeezed in with Shang Ming on his upper bunk.
Do you have a love interest now? The topic brought up by his friend was nothing more than love, especially for Ye Zhou who was so outstanding. Even if he liked men, it shouldnt be too too hard for him to find one.
Ye Zhou vaguely said, Things hasnt taken shape yet, its hard to say.
Shang Mings eyes shone and he gossiped, Then there is? What does he look like?
Ye Zhou took out his cell phone and looked for Tang Dongdongs photos in his album. He hadnt found it yet when he suddenly saw that Shang Jin had sent him a WeChat.
Shang Jin sent a photo of Shang Youyou sitting on the bed and smiling happily while holding all the dolls theyd grabbed. Ye Zhou smiled unconsciously.
Shang Ming glanced at the screen and then at Ye Zhous expression. He said earnestly, Zhou, although Im glad that you changed to liking girls, but you cant commit a crime.
Ye Zhou rolled his eyes twice. He didnt sleep at noon and, now that it was eleven oclock, he could hardly keep his eyes open, while Shang Ming was still chattering on without end as if hed been injected with chicken blood. Ye Zhou still blinked his eyes and responded at first, but after ten minutes, Ye Zhou fell deeply asleep with his back leaning against the wall.
Shang Ming didnt hear a response for half a day. When he turned around, he saw Ye Zhous peacefully sleeping countenance. He yawned and lay down on his side, also starting to feel sleepy.
In the morning, Shang Jin came back with the clothes hed bought yesterday, took the key and opened the dorm door. He habitually glanced towards Ye Zhous bed, and his face immediately darkened.
Why was there a strange man sleeping on Ye Zhous bed and also holding him??
