Weren't You Cold?
He Jin didn't vomit or faint. Just like how he didn't have any symptoms of a cold, even if he was drunk, with his physique, he wouldn't be able to tell.
He just slept in his clothes for the night. When he woke up in the morning, he had a slight headache, but the side effects weren't serious. Instead, He Jin was a little addicted to the feeling of being drunk. He wondered when he could drink it again.
There was a lecture that night. He Jin followed Tong Xuan's instructions and arrived at the lecture hall early. When he saw that there were quite a few juniors there, He Jin wasn't nervous. To him, this kind of occasion was much more relaxing than calling Shang Huo "hubby."
Guo Youling and a few members of the Foreign Language Club were there too. They pulled him aside and gossiped about Qin Yang carrying him to the hospital.
"You guys are exaggerating …" He Jin had no strength to refute them one by one.
Guo Youling said excitedly, "Everyone who saw it that day was shocked! They all guessed that the school hunk was really gay. He even ran out of the dormitory with a guy in his arms. Those who didn't know better would think that the two of you did something … "
A few girls heard this and covered their mouths as they laughed strangely.
He Jin was confused. "What did we do?"
One of the more courageous girls said directly, "Just the two of you did that, and then you fainted …"
He Jin: "…" He had to keep his distance from this group of scary creatures!
Just as he turned to go to the podium, He Jin saw two familiar figures appear at the door. It was Qin Yang and Zhao Xibai.
Qin Yang saw him and even waved at him. Suddenly, there was a series of gasps. Many girls' gazes drifted back and forth between Qin Yang and He Jin. Then, it turned into whispers and suppressed laughter.
He Jin didn't care. He walked to the podium and opened his PowerPoint. He coughed lightly. "Everyone, please be quiet … I'm very happy to receive the Foreign Language Club's invitation, and I'm also very honored to see so many juniors listening to my lecture … I've summarized some of my learning experiences for the CET-6 revision and preparation. I hope it'll be helpful to everyone …"
He Jin held a laser pointer and spoke slowly. From the scope of the exam to the introduction of the questions, to the revision period and time arrangement, his logic was clear and organized.
When he was in high school, he was also a student cadre in the school. He often had to go on stage to give speeches or be the host of school anniversary events. If there were any benefits He Jin recognized from his years as a student cadre, it would be his ability to be fearless on the spot. Time and time again, it allowed him to calmly face every formal occasion, whether it was an interview, an exam, a report, or a speech...
"He's very good. He speaks much more clearly than our English teacher!" Zhao Xibai sat down and took notes seriously.
Qin Yang didn't bring anything with him. His hands were in his pockets as he sat lazily. However, his eyes were fixed on the figure on the stage, tightly locking onto the other party's body. He admired the other party's posture and captured every little movement and expression …
His clear voice, his empty left hand, and his natural body movements …
His empty gaze as he scanned the students, and the warm smile on his face …
When he did not speak, he was low-key and quiet like a pool of still water, but when he spoke, he was like a gust of warm wind …
— A Jin who was alive and well and was no longer just a game name.
Perhaps it was because of the eight years of waiting that Qin Yang buried deep in his heart had fermented and changed. Wine was no longer wine, and vinegar was no longer vinegar. He knew that he liked him, but apart from liking him, there seemed to be an indescribable feeling in it.
He wanted to crush this person into pieces, roll him into a ball, and stuff him into his heart. He wanted to become one with him, and then he would never be able to run away again.
…
An hour later, He Jin's lecture finally came to an end. He pointed to the stacked photocopies in Guo Youling's hands and said, "Everything I just said has been excerpted in detail in my notes. A few of the tables and diagrams I put in the PowerPoint were also scanned from them. If you need them, you can directly buy them from the girl in yellow. Basically, you only need to pay for the photocopying costs …"
As soon as He Jin finished speaking, some students rushed over to ask about the price of the notes. Some girls even went up to He Jin himself. That's right. Although He Jin was not as popular as the school hunk Qin Yang, he still had pursuers. These girls were like Tong Xuan back then. They were captivated by his scholarly temperament and used the excuse of asking for his contact information in the future.
He Jin couldn't handle this kind of thing. Just when he couldn't get away, Qin Yang came over. This person was like the sun. Wherever he moved, he would automatically create a circle around him. Those who were attracted to him looked at him from outside the circle, as if they would be burned if they got too close.
The girls who were pestering He Jin and asking all sorts of questions immediately quieted down. They looked at the newcomer in a daze. Usually, they didn't have the opportunity to see the school hunk up close.
"You came too?" He Jin spoke first. He was quite surprised that Qin Yang would come.
Qin Yang smiled and said, "I came because I saw your name."
The people around him were stunned. They had never seen Qin Yang so gentle to someone before. His eyes were slightly curved, and the corners of his mouth were raised. It was as if he was bathing in the spring breeze.
He Jin lowered his eyes. "I didn't embarrass myself, did I?"
"Well said ~" Qin Yang put his hand in his pocket and said very familiarly, "It's over, right? Let's go. I'll treat you to a drink. "
He Jin was stunned and hurriedly packed up his things. He actually fell for Qin Yang's act. It was natural and intimate, as if they were friends who had known each other for a long time.
He Jin left the cleanup to Tong Xuan and Guo Youling before leaving with Qin Yang.
Zhao Xibai looked at their departing figures and mumbled, "When did their relationship become so good?"
Guo Youling said, "It's over, it's over. You jinxed it. This time, the school hunk's CP will change!"
Zhao Xibai said, "What does it have to do with me?"
Guo Youling said, "Last time, you said that only someone like Senior He can accept it! Look, Qin Yang is making a move now … "
Zhao Xibai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You're imagining things too much!"
Ten minutes later, He Jin and Qin Yang were walking under a ginkgo tree, enjoying the cold wind and drinking Seven Up … Qin Yang said he would treat them to a drink, but He Jin didn't expect it to be an iced Seven Up!
"Actually, I wanted to ask you for a favor," Qin Yang said.
"What kind of favor?" He Jin was shivering in the cold.
"My English grammar isn't very good …" Qin Yang gave a simple introduction and looked at He Jin. Seeing him shrink his neck, he asked, "Are you very cold?"
He Jin shivered. "I'm cold …" He picked up the Seven Up in his hands. "It's such a cold day, yet you bought an iced drink …"
"Hold it for me." Qin Yang handed his Seven Up to him. He Jin was baffled. Then, he watched as Qin Yang took off his jacket and draped it over He Jin's shoulders.
He Jin: "…"
… Is, is there something not quite right about it?
Then, Qin Yang took the two bottles of iced drinks from He Jin's hands.
He Jin maintained his petrified posture for three seconds before his face turned red. "You don't have to give me a coat. I'm not a girl."
Qin Yang glanced at him with a smile. "But aren't you cold?"
He Jin: "…"
Although he fell for it, he and Qin Yang … were they that close?
"I was sitting there listening to you just now. It was so hot that I was sweating," Qin Yang said as he leaned over. He was 183 centimeters tall and was half a head taller than He Jin. "If you don't believe me, touch my neck. It's very hot."
He Jin: "…" Who would touch his neck!
Qin Yang shrank his neck back again. Everything seemed so natural. It was as if He Jin was the only one who was unnatural.
Qin Yang continued to walk forward. He Jin jogged to catch up and awkwardly continued the previous topic. "You said your grammar isn't good, so what happened?"
Qin Yang looked at him and smiled shyly. "I was wondering if you could tutor me when you're free. I'll pay you an hourly salary based on tutoring fees."
He Jin heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. "We're all classmates. What hourly salary? Grammar is very simple. I'll explain it to you twice and you'll understand."
Qin Yang: "Will it be too much trouble for you?"
"It won't be." If it were anyone else, He Jin would probably just recommend a reference book and be done with it. However, it was Qin Yang. Perhaps because of what had happened previously, He Jin felt that he was a good person, so he was willing to help. "In exchange, teach me how to play tennis."
Qin Yang couldn't have asked for more! "When are you free?" Qin Yang asked with a smile.
He Jin: "Oh, usually on the 24th and the 6th. Sunday is fine too …"
When Qin Yang heard He Jin say that he was free on the 24th and the 6th, he was elated that he had caught another piece of evidence. But when he thought about how he had to do a live broadcast for three days, he couldn't help but feel a headache.
Qin Yang: "Sunday then."
He Jin nodded. "Sunday it is then." The two of them walked to the dormitory. He Jin quickly took off his clothes and returned them to Qin Yang. "Text me when the time comes."
Qin Yang raised the 7 Up in his hand. "Okay."
On the following Friday, He Jin went to Godfiend as promised. Shang Huo had already brought his "Spirit Pet Account" to level seven. The last three levels were more difficult to train and might take some time.
He Jin saw hundreds of friend requests every time he went online. As he cleared them, he said to Shang Huo, "Can I change my name in the future?"
Shang Huo: "Why? You want to change it? "
Little Immortal Ah Jin: "A lot of people have added me recently. I don't know them."
Shang Huo: "Just close the friend list. Don't change your name. It's useless even if you change it."
Little Immortal Ah Jin: "Why?"
Shang Huo: "You are my wife. You will become famous sooner or later. Just get used to it."
Little Immortal Ah Jin: "…"
Qin Yang was afraid that He Jin would always be bored, so he formed a team and pulled a few friends in to bring him to play dungeons.

Team player His Highness Jiu: "Why did you pull me in?"
Team player His Highness Jiu: "Damn! Auntie Bai is here! Hehehe … "
