Early the next morning, sunlight shone into Yan Yifan’s eyes. Yan Yifan squinted, waking up in a daze. He wanted to move but discovered that his whole body was numb. He squinted his eyes and looked for a few moments, then suddenly, his eyes widened—
He, he, he, he! He and Bai Jiangnan had hugged each other and slept the whole night!
The most, most, most important thing was, last night the two of them, it seemed, it seemed!
Feeling the dampness at the crotch of his pants, Yan Yifan’s heart jumped violently. It’s over, it’s over, it’s over! When he wakes up later, won’t he call me a pervert?!
Yan Yifan quietly moved his hands and feet, wanting to crawl up and go change clothes first, but Bai Jiangnan was holding him tightly, and his hands and feet were so numb that he couldn’t use any strength at all.
Yan Yifan moved a few times, and Bai Jiangnan also woke up. He asked: “What’s wrong?”
Yan Yifan’s body stiffened. Bai Jiangnan also opened his eyes. The two stared big-eyed at small-eyed. Yan Yifan laughed dryly and said: “We both got drunk last night.”
Bai Jiangnan: “Seems like it.”
Yan Yifan: “So, so we just slept directly on the sofa.”
Bai Jiangnan looked around, “Yeah.”
Yan Yifan’s ears turned red, and he lowered his head: “I, I’ll go to the bathroom first!”
After finishing, Yan Yifan did a carp roll [kip-up/spring], jumped off the sofa, and bounced to the bathroom.
Bai Jiangnan recalled what happened last night while thinking of Yan Yifan’s awkward appearance just now, and involuntarily revealed a smile. Then he furrowed his brows again, looking at that spot of his, a damp clump.
Yan Yifan rushed into the bathroom, the burning red of his ears having extended to his cheeks. He looked at himself in the mirror, then silently screamed ahhhhhhhh. God, god, god! The left side of his face was covered in sofa imprints, his hair was messy, and the eye boogers had glued his eyes shut! Just now he actually said quite a few words to Bai Jiangnan! QAQ
A wave of regret surged in Yan Yifan’s heart; he cupped water and splashed it on his cheeks.
After a while, Yan Yifan finished washing his face. He took off his clothes and took a shower. Only after wiping his body clean did he discover he had forgotten to bring his underwear in.
Yan Yifan… ==
Yan Yifan bit his lower lip. What’s there to be afraid of! Everyone is a man!
Yan Yifan wrapped the bath towel around his waist, then looked again and again, organized and re-organized, until he was finally a bit more satisfied with how he looked. He pushed the door open, first looking left and right at lightning speed. Great, no one! Yan Yifan walked on his tiptoes toward the bedroom at lightning speed. He swiftly pulled the bedroom door open, then swiftly closed it. Just as he turned around, he abruptly shrunk back—
“You, you, you, how come you’re here!!!!”
Bai Jiangnan was walking by the bed, looked at him, and said: “I came to look for a charger.” He was holding a plug in his hand, his gaze turning over and over on Yan Yifan’s body.
Yan Yifan’s face had a trend of turning red again, “What are you looking at!”
Bai Jiangnan bared his teeth in a smile: “Admiring your full set of abs!” He nodded: “Sure enough, a good figure!”
Yan Yifan: QAQ!
Yan Yifan ignored him, swiftly pulled the closet open, and rummaged inside.
Bai Jiangnan looked at his jade-like smooth spine and round butt, remembering the taste from last night, his eyes gradually deepening, “Looking for what? Do you need me to help?”
Yan Yifan rummaged left and right, finally finding his underwear. He picked one pair up and was just about to leave when he accidentally brought out another pair.
Bai Jiangnan looked at the Crayon Shin-chan-printed underwear on the floor and laughed puchi out loud.
Yan Yifan’s face was beet red; he picked up the underwear, stuffed it into the wardrobe, and then swiftly turned and ran toward the bathroom.
Bai Jiangnan looked at his back, whistling twice with interest.
Yan Yifan stumbled in his footsteps.
After Yan Yifan was done and came out, Bai Jiangnan entered with a smile on his face.
Yan Yifan was so angry his teeth itched. Isn’t it just a full set of abs? What’s so funny about that?
He picked up his phone and took a look; it was only 7:30, so he went to heat up two glasses of milk. Putting the milk in the microwave, Yan Yifan cautiously tapped open yesterday’s Weibo. There were many people commenting below, but the direction of the wind had already turned a lot. Perhaps because his words yesterday were extremely sincere, half of the comments below were cheers and encouragement, and half were still slandering him.
But this was already very good. Yan Yifan thought for a moment and reposted a new Weibo: Thanks everyone for being willing to believe me; I have never thought about harboring malice toward any author. From now on, I will update 6000+ daily to fill in all the pits I have. On the alt account I use to read, if there are opinions you want to raise, please try to express your meaning clearly. Thanks!
After Yan Yifan clicked send, someone replied immediately: a smiley face and the word “Jiayou” [Come on/Keep it up].
It felt very heartwarming, and Yan Yifan couldn’t help revealing a smile.
Bai Jiangnan had just come out and saw this scene. His heart instantly thought of Yan Yifan’s appearance yesterday while he was tangled up in sending a text, as well as his “Leilei” from last night.
The wonderful mood instantly turned bad. Bai Jiangnan was written all over with unhappiness.
Yan Yifan saw him come out and revealed a bright smile, “I heated up some milk. What else do you want to eat? It’s still early.”
“Whatever.” Bai Jiangnan sat in his seat, picked up his own things, and started organizing.
Yan Yifan laughed hehe and said: “Got up early, let’s go out together to eat guokui [flatbread] and xiaolongbao [soup dumplings]~”
Bai Jiangnan: “My clothes are downstairs; I’m going back to take a shower.”
Yan Yifan checked the time and said: “Twenty minutes, is that enough?”
Bai Jiangnan nodded, opened the door, and went downstairs.
Yan Yifan was in a very good mood. He opened his tablet, looked at the word count he had written in these past few days, and felt particularly fulfilled. He combed through his outline and thought about what to write next. Then his phone rang; it was Bai Jiangnan!
Yan Yifan answered the phone, opened the room door, and went down one floor. Sure enough, Bai Jiangnan was waiting there.
Bai Jiangnan was leaning against the wall at the corner with both hands in his pockets, like a slightly melancholic youth. He was unbelievably handsome. In any case, as soon as Yan Yifan saw him, he discovered that quite a few passing people would intentionally or unintentionally glance at Bai Jiangnan.
Yan Yifan went over and patted him on the shoulder. Bai Jiangnan: “Let’s go.”
The two went to wait for the elevator, left the door, and went to eat breakfast together.
All day, Yan Yifan’s mood was not bad. In the evening, the two went to eat together, again with arms hooked over each other’s shoulders.
Bai Jiangnan made the excuse of going to the bathroom to come out and catch a breath. His development with Yan Yifan right now made him very suspicious and confused.
Last night, was he really drunk? But, he always felt he was pretending to be drunk.
Bai Jiangnan puffed out a breath of smoke; white smoke curled upward.
Da da da—high heels came toward him. Bai Jiangnan turned his head to look. Shen Leilei, reeking of alcohol, stood before him. Bai Jiangnan glanced at her.
Shen Leilei picked up her bag and swung it at Bai Jiangnan, but her hand was grabbed by him. Shen Leilei cursed: “Bitch!”
Bai Jiangnan: “Am I in your way?”
Shen Leilei threw off his hand: “Dead gay! Stealing my boyfriend! Go to hell!”
Bai Jiangnan frowned: “What did you say?”
Shen Leilei: “Yan Yifan is a piece of trash. He was already a GAY but still came to trick me! You are even more shameless! Knowing clearly that Yan Yifan has a girlfriend, yet you still hang around with him every day! Hooking him into dumping me! Hmph! He was only greedy for something fresh! When he gets tired of it, he will still come back to find me! He will lift me up to be the female lead! You bitch!” The last sentence was in Shen Leilei’s sharp voice.
Bai Jiangnan: “What do you mean? You say Yan Yifan is a GAY?”
Shen Leilei glared at him fiercely, then suddenly her voice grew louder. As she walked, she said to everyone: “Everyone come take a look! It’s this person! A dead gay! Forced [raped/took] my boyfriend! Now my boyfriend dumped me!”
A few people who heard the voice looked over, staying where they were to listen curiously.
Shen Leilei cursed while crying; the makeup on her face was almost ruined.
Bai Jiangnan: “Make it clear, will you?!”
Shen Leilei ignored him and continued to cry. Bai Jiangnan couldn’t ask any more words out, but huge waves had already been stirred up in his heart. What she said—was it the meaning he thought?
Bai Jiangnan stepped back into the private room with a pile of doubts.
Yan Yifan asked: “Back? I’m almost full.”
Bai Jiangnan glanced at Yan Yifan, sat over, and shoved two bites in a sloppy manner.
Bai Jiangnan suddenly asked: “How are you and Shen Leilei?”
Yan Yifan suddenly remembered this point, tucked away his smile, revealed an indifferent appearance, and said: “Broke up, right?”
Bai Jiangnan glanced at him and asked: “Not feeling bad?”
Yan Yifan was used to bragging, so he said casually: “What’s this? Women are like clothes; out with the old, in with the new!”
Bai Jiangnan raised an eyebrow, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked him: “Have a new lover?”
Yan Yifan: “How could it be that fast?”
Bai Jiangnan said “Oh”: “Last night you were drunk to the point of being a pile of mud; I thought you were sad to death!”
Yan Yifan’s eyeballs rolled around, he changed his tone and said: “Don’t expose me, okay? I still want to appear a bit more dashing!”
“Yo?” Bai Jiangnan looked at him, “Still thinking about her?”
Yan Yifan: “Ai, just feel like I’ve accomplished nothing, particularly failed.” He turned his head to look at Bai Jiangnan: “Tell me, what should I do?”
Bai Jiangnan: “Didn’t I say last night? If there’s anything, come find your buddy! Don’t worry, I will definitely help you reform properly!”
“Ah?” Yan Yifan looked at him.
Bai Jiangnan smiled and said: “Didn’t you say you wanted to be like me? From today on, you will go to the gym with me. I will lead you; I will definitely make you turn into a strong man that all women will be unable to turn their eyes away from the moment they see you!”
Yan Yifan swallowed a mouthful of spit: What kind of strange development is this? How did it become like this? Shouldn’t you be comforting me? I don’t want to go to the gym at all! QAQ
Bai Jiangnan: Hehe, whether you are straight or bent, whether you are a flirt or just using that to disguise yourself. Yan Yifan, I’m about to make my move; you better receive it well!
