058. Be careful of your hair falling out.
"Huh?" He Jin took a sip of his macchiato and looked up in a daze. "Ah, it's pretty good. How did you know?"
Tong Xuan stared at He Jin without blinking. There was still a ring of milk foam stuck on the young man's upper lip. He looked silly, and his watery eyes were clean and clear … The words that she originally wanted to say suddenly couldn't come out of her mouth.
She originally wanted to tell He Jin that she was a little interested in Qin Yang and wanted to chase after him … As for why she liked him, it was because when she passed by the tennis court some time ago, she happened to see Qin Yang playing a friendly match with another school. She was captivated by the cool and unrestrained appearance of the other party on the court, and she fell in love at first sight.
But she knew that the line of girls who fell in love with Qin Yang at first sight could circle Huazhong University several times. So maybe she was just infatuated with him, but she didn't necessarily like him. It was just like how she fell in love with He Jin two years ago. It came out of nowhere.
Tong Xuan was very popular in school, so she was also very confident and brave. She had a clear distinction between love and hate. When she met someone she liked, she dared to take the initiative to pursue him.
Because He Jin was close to Qin Yang, she wondered if she should let He Jin help her test him first. Or rather, create a chance for them to get along.
Maybe it was easy for He Jin, but Tong Xuan didn't know if he had any old feelings for her. If he did, even if it was just a little, it would make Tong Xuan feel that it was despicable to take advantage of his soft-heartedness and repeatedly use him.
She suppressed her own selfish desires and turned to tease him. "You and Qin Yang are close because of the girls in the student union. You also know that those little girls in the publicity department and the disciplinary department are all like know-it-alls. Any rumor in school can't escape their ears … Hey, I also heard that you two took a walk on campus in the middle of the night and had a heart-to-heart talk? Is that true? "
He Jin thought of the girl who was running in the middle of the night and suddenly blushed with shame. How did it spread in just a few days?
But if he and Hou Dongyan were running outside, it definitely wouldn't have spread so much. The problem was still with Qin Yang!
He Jin simply explained to Tong Xuan how he learned tennis from Qin Yang and how he was urged to exercise. Tong Xuan was a little unhappy after hearing it. "How come I've never seen you being particularly close to anyone before?" She paused and joked half-jokingly, "Don't tell me the two of you are really gay like the rumors say?"
He Jin was originally quite magnanimous, but when he heard the word "gay", the hand that was holding the coffee cup loosened. With a "clang" sound, the cup knocked against each other and the coffee spilled. The two of them hurriedly stood up and used a napkin to wipe the table and their coffee-stained pants.
He Jin looked calm on the surface. He took the wet towel that the waiter handed over and wiped his hands.
Tong Xuan thought that she had gone overboard with her joke. Feeling a little guilty, she hurriedly said, "Are you scalded? Are you alright? "
"I'm fine." The coffee wasn't scalding, but He Jin himself was scalding. His heart was thumping wildly as if some secret had been discovered, but in fact, there was nothing. He and Qin Yang were innocent, but he didn't know why he had such a reaction … It was just that in that instant, he thought of Shang Huo, whose voice was similar to Qin Yang's. He thought of the kiss between Xian Yun and Ye He under the candlelight tree. He thought of physical contact with a same-sex husband in the game … Then, his entire body felt like it was on fire. He was nervous and terrified.
After tidying up, He Jin didn't order any more coffee. He asked the waiter to get him a glass of water with lemon. He lowered his head and slowly sipped it.
Tong Xuan didn't mention what had just happened. She changed the topic and talked about some things that had happened around her, such as her internship, the student council, and family matters. He Jin patiently listened to her talk and occasionally gave her some advice. The two of them were really like old friends, and they calmly chatted for a long time.
He Jin also liked Tong Xuan like this. She made him feel very natural.
Finally, Tong Xuan took out two bottles of vitamin pills from her bag and handed them to him. "You were drenched in the rain and fainted with a fever. Take care of yourself. These are vitamin C pills my cousin brought from America. Take them and eat one a day. It will strengthen your body."
He Jin wanted to refuse, but he saw Tong Xuan point in the direction of the counter. "Don't stand on ceremony. Today's coffee is on you."
The coffee in the school didn't cost much, but He Jin couldn't refuse Tong Xuan's kindness. He thanked her and stood up with a smile to swipe his campus card.
The entrance to the cafe wasn't directly facing the main road. Instead, he had to pass through a winding path to reach the main road. There were dense cypress trees all around. It wasn't mealtime yet, so there were very few people. He Jin suddenly stopped and said, "Tong Xuan …"
"Hmm?" Tong Xuan turned around, her crystal earrings sparkling in the light of the setting sun.
He Jin looked at her and asked politely, "Can I hug you?"
Tong Xuan: "…"
He hadn't taken the initiative to make a request when they were dating. Tong Xuan was a little confused when she suddenly heard it. However, she was a big sister after all. It only took a moment for her to face him and generously open her arms.
He Jin hugged her gently. He could smell the unique fragrance of a girl even with his eyes closed, but he couldn't hear his own heartbeat.
After letting go, He Jin wanted to ask Tong Xuan how she felt, but when he saw her slightly red ears and drooping eyelashes, He Jin knew he didn't need to ask anymore.
Tong Xuan was actually … shy, which was rare.
"Thank you for your vitamin C. I'm leaving." He Jin waved the nutrient bottle in his hand at her and quickly walked to the dormitory.
He didn't feel any impulse when he hugged someone of the opposite sex, but he always felt strangely nervous when he touched someone of the same sex … Of course, he didn't touch everyone, but only a part of them, like Shang Huo and Qin Yang.
… Why? Was there something wrong with him?
He left in such a hurry that he didn't hear someone calling him from behind. Because it was a very familiar voice, he thought he was hallucinating until his arm was suddenly grabbed and pulled back. He was forced to turn around. "Why are you running? Didn't you hear me calling you? " That person smiled faintly. His eyes were deep, and his voice was low. His entire body exuded a strong sense of hormones that He Jin couldn't escape from.
A dull thud resounded in his chest, shaking his entire atrium, pericardium, and heart valves … He struggled to free himself, but he was unable to do so. He was like a fish caught in a net, wrapped in a cocoon, powerless all over.
Qin Yang waved his hand in front of his eyes. "He Jin?"
He Jin snapped back to reality and took a deep breath. "… Qin Yang?"
Qin Yang let go of him. "Yes, you just finished class?"
"Yes … Oh no, I finished a long time ago." He Jin turned around, lowered his head, and walked slowly.
Qin Yang walked shoulder to shoulder with him. "Were you distracted?"
He Jin lied. "Ah, I was thinking about something professional."
Then there was silence. About five or six seconds later, He Jin suddenly felt someone rubbing the top of his head. He was confused from the rubbing. He looked at Qin Yang and asked, "What's wrong …" He forgot to pursue the humiliation of being rubbed on the head by a junior.
Qin Yang smiled. "Don't think too much. Be careful not to lose your hair, go bald, and become a small old man."
He Jin's heart had yet to calm down. He said in a daze, "I have quite a lot of hair …"
Qin Yang covered his mouth with his fist and laughed for a while. He Jin finally reacted … Damn, why did he feel like his IQ was hopelessly dropping every time he was around Qin Yang and Shang Huo?
But the feeling of being teased, teased, and cared for seemed to have a different feeling besides confusion and awkwardness. It was like the candied haws bought in the Demon God Imperial City. When one bit, there was a hint of sweetness in the sourness. One could not help but frown, but his whole body felt comfortable.
…
After walking together for a while, they returned to their respective dormitories.
He Jin's mind was still in a mess. As he woke up too early in the morning, he started to feel sleepy before eight o 'clock. He sent a message to Shang Huo using ME. He did not log into the game and went to bed early.
On the weekend, He Jin and Qin Yang agreed to buy a racket outside the school. In the era of online shopping, people could buy anything they wanted without leaving their homes, regardless of whether it was a big city or a small town. As long as it was delivered to a place, people could buy anything they wanted without leaving their homes.
However, Qin Yang said that they had to go to a physical store to buy a racket. Just like buying a piano, shoes, or high-end clothes, they had to see and try them in person before they could place an order.
He Jin was not as particular as him, but he did not have any objections. He actually quite liked spending time with Qin Yang.
