The early morning sunlight shone into the dormitory, the birds chirped crisply, and as the room temperature began to climb, Ji Mingxia comfortably turned around under the covers.
The alarm clock hadn’t gone off yet, so he could still sleep a little longer.
Just as he was about to close his eyes and go back to sleep, Ji Mingxia felt two pairs of eyes on him.
If it were in the past, Ji Mingxia would have ignored it and continued to sleep, a basic ability he had honed during his long dormitory career.
But he had been extra sensitive to such prying eyes recently.
Ji Mingxia opened his eyes to look at the side of the bed, only to be met with Luo Zixuan and Lin Cheng’s faces.
“What are you guys doing?” Ji Mingxia asked in confusion.
“When did you come back last night, we didn’t even notice.”
“The dormitory door was closed and we thought you would not come back to sleep.”
Lin Cheng and Luo Zixuan said.
“Yu Ning picked me up, and got the access card from the auntie. We just ……” Ji Mingxia said while stretching his back, but halfway through the sentence, some images suddenly appeared in his mind.
Yu Ning pulled him to the corner by Yu Ning, and they spoke in low voices.
Like men …… let’s try ……
And, pretend to be a boyfriend ……?
Ji Mingxia’s face stiffened, and the whole person felt a little bad.
Most of these images were blurred, and Ji Mingxia only felt that his brain was in chaos. However, the only thing that was clear was Yu Ning’s eyes reflecting the bright moon outside the window as he looked at him.
Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia knocked his head with some uncertainty.
So, did this actually happen, or was he dreaming?
Ji Mingxia lifted his head and looked around, there was no sign of Yu Ning in the dormitory.
“Where is Yu Ning, have you seen him?” Ji Mingxia asked.
Luo Zixuan said, “I think he went to buy breakfast, he always gets up earlier.”
Ji Mingxia could only get up from the bed with apprehension.
When he finished washing up and came out, Yu Ning had indeed returned with breakfast.
Yu Naing had bought a double breakfast, one was in his hand, and the other already on Ji Mingxia’s table.
Ji Mingxia peeked at Yu Ning sheepishly, and found that he had finished his breakfast and had already packed his school bag for class as usual.
Yu Ning noticed that Ji Mingxia was staring at him blankly, and he even called out to him, “Mingxia, get ready for class.”
“Oh— oh, okay.” Ji Mingxia came back to his senses. He quickly finished his breakfast, grabbed his books and walked out with Yu Ning.
As they walked towards the school building, Ji Mingxia’s attention was highly focused, observing Yu Ning’s every move, but there was nothing unusual throughout.
It was only when he and Yu Ning went their separate ways that Ji Mingxia’s hanging heart slowly fell.
“It seems that I was overthinking, it really was a dream.” Ji Mingxia murmured, “I’m thinking about it every day and dreaming about it every night.”
Ye Chen had asked his help in pursuing Yu Ning, and as a result, he dreamed that Yu Ning had asked him to be his boyfriend ……
This was really an embarrassment and a little bit pitiful.
Fortunately, he did not open his mouth to get confirmation from Yu Ning, otherwise, it would be the scene of social death!
Ji Mingxia suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed the embarrassment and loss, and prepared for class as usual.
Half a month passed.
As New Year’s Day approached, the weather gradually got colder, and the first semester of Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning’s freshman year was coming to an end.
Before the holidays, Ye Tian, who had been recuperating for several months, was discharged from the hospital.
Since Ye Tian was hospitalized, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning had never seen her again. She was finally better, so Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning planned to go see her over the weekend.
There was some distance from the school to the hospital. Ye Chen happened to pass by the school on his way from the company to hospital, so he picked Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning.
It had been a long time since Ji Mingxia saw Ye Chen, and once he thought of their last meeting experience, Ji Mingxia was a little apprehensive.
Because of that dream, Ji Mingxia was uneasy recently, but he didn’t dare mention this matter to Yu Ning.
Last time, he promised to be Ye Chen’s messenger. Half a month later, he did not mention Ye Chen in front of Yu Ning at all. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing when the three of them meet later?
He had to at least remind Yu Ning, so that Yu Ning would do some psychological preparation.
With that thought, Ji Mingxia opened his mouth to speak but unexpectedly, the two had just walked out of the school gate when Yu Ning suddenly took his hand.
He was taller than Ji Mingxia, and his hands were also larger. His fingers were long and slender, and he could easily hold Ji Mingxia’s hand.
He noticed Ji Mingxia staring blankly at him, and asked, “Is my hand cold?”
“Not cold.” Ji Mingxia said in a daze.
Yu Ning’s body temperature was on the low side most of the time so he usually paid close attention to his body temperature. He rarely touches Ji Mingxia’s skin directly now that winter is approaching.
But at this moment, Ji Mingxia felt that his temperature was neither high nor low, it was warm and even quite comfortable ……
Yu Ning smiled and said, “That’s good.”
Ji Mingxia saw him happy and couldn’t help but smile as well.
However, he soon remembered where they were. There were people coming and going, and someone would notice their small movements so Ji Mingxia hurriedly struggled to pull his hand out.
“Ye Chen will be here soon.” Yu Ning felt Ji Mingxia’s movement, but did not let go and whispered instead.
‘Ye Chen was coming? That’s more reason not to hold hands ah!’
Thank you for the chapter!
