Half of the semester has already passed in the blink of an eye.
Cheng Xu had long been accustomed to going to the library with Zhai Yi.
That night, just as they walked out of the library, they discovered that it was pouring rain. Neither of them had brought an umbrella, so in the end, they had no choice but to borrow the security guard's umbrella from the library. After expressing their thanks, Zhai Yi opened the umbrella.
Senior, the rain is getting heavier. Shall we go back later?
"Just now you said you were hungry, right? Let's go, it's nothing."
Zhái Yì held up an umbrella as he walked on Cheng Xu's left side, with most of the umbrella covering Cheng Xu to shield him from the rain. As a result, Zhái Yì's own shoulder was soaked with rain.
The rain grew heavier and showed no signs of stopping anytime soon. Zhai Yi switched the umbrella to his left hand and used his right hand to pull Cheng Xuhuan closer, embracing him tightly in his arms. Then, he quickened his pace.
Cheng Xu's face turned bright red, and he lowered his head slightly.
Finally, we arrived at the dormitory door after much difficulty.
Cheng Xu noticed that Zhai Yi's back and half of his shoulder were already soaked, and he became concerned that he might catch a cold. Cheng Xu quickly said, "Don't eat for now, senior. You should quickly take a shower and change your clothes! I'll order food!"
Zhai Yi, while folding the umbrella, said, "There's no one in my dormitory today. Why don't you come and stay with me tonight?"
Cheng Xu hesitated slightly, "Huh?" His whole face showed a curious and innocent expression, like a baby.
Zhai Yi smiled and patted his head, saying, "What if I catch a cold? Won't you take responsibility and take care of the patient?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xu happily agreed.
As Cheng Xu cheerfully carried the takeout and prepared to go upstairs, he encountered a girl walking towards him. Huh? Why does she look so familiar?
"Sister President!" It turned out to be Yan Kequan.
Cheng Xu, perfect timing. Take me inside, I have something to discuss with Senior Brother Zhai Yi." With that, they walked into the dormitory building together.
On the way, Yan Kequan kept chattering, always talking about Zhai Yi. Love and admiration filled his eyes.
Knocking on the door, Zhai Yi opened it and smiled, saying, "Welcome back," only to find that there was someone standing behind Cheng Xu.
Without waiting for him to speak, Yan Ke greeted him by the spring and walked inside, saying, "Senior, this is a small gift that I brought back from my trip to Xiamen," as he took out a little box and handed it to him. "It's specifically for you."
Zhao Yi was neither receptive nor dismissive, so reluctantly, he said, "It's already late now, so you better hurry back."
Seeing her constantly reaching out her hand, Zhai Yi could only accept the gift first and said, "I've accepted the gift, thank you for your kindness. But in the future, there's no need to be so formal, we're all friends."
After Yan Kequan presented the gift, he happily returned, relieved that he no longer had to worry about whether or not his older schoolmate would refuse it.
Cheng Xu watched as Zhai Yi simply placed the gift directly into the drawer without opening it. His curiosity got the better of him as he asked, "Senior, aren't you going to open and see what's inside?"
"Never mind," Zhai Yi sighed.
Senior, I've noticed something. The president's older sister must definitely like you! I don't know why, but Zhai Yi always felt that these words came out of Cheng Xu's mouth. They were so adorable, he really wanted to pinch his face.
In fact, he did the same: "What's wrong? Feeling jealous?"
Cheng Xu touched his own face, and it instantly turned red: Who, who is jealous? It's just a fact."
Zhai Yi shook his head and smiled, opening the takeout: "Hurry up and eat, it's all getting cold."
At night, a certain senior brother showed no signs of catching a cold, and since the only roommate had not returned, Cheng Xu ended up sleeping on Zhai Yi's bed while Zhai Yi slept on the roommate's bed.
For some reason, Cheng Xu's heart kept thumping and pounding.
Suddenly, Zhai Yi walked to his bedside and gently bent down, looking at him. Zhai Yi's face gradually enlarged, and Cheng Xu's heartbeat sped up. He felt his face getting hotter. "Sen...Senior," Cheng Xu said.
Noticing his panic, Zhai Yi chuckled inwardly. He maintained a calm expression on the surface, with a slight smile curling up his lips. As he spoke, he casually rubbed his nose and said, "Cover yourself with the blanket. Goodnight." After saying that, he tidied up the blanket for him and then returned to his own bed.
After turning off the lights, Cheng Xu found himself unable to fall asleep. He pulled the blanket up with both hands, tugging it until it covered his face.
On the other side, Zhai Yi kept telling himself not to be impatient, or else what if he scared her away? Unconsciously, he let out a sigh. It was the first time he had been so cautious with someone.
