He looked at Jing Tian and said slowly, word by word, “It seems you don’t remember very clearly.”

“…I remember,” muttered Jing Tian.

He remembered how Zheng Xunqian pressed his lips tightly against his, lightly biting with his teeth. He didn’t just bite his lips, but also his tongue. Their tongues stirred together. He licked his teeth and the corners of his lips, kissed the tip of his nose. He was so passionate, as if he wanted to devour him whole. His lips still retained a slight tingling sensation, perhaps still slightly swollen.

Zheng Xunqian shook his head. “Then you should know that the premise of my sexual harassment is that you did want it.”

“…”

Jing Tian’s face turned red in an instant.

He not only remembered the details of the kiss, but also remembered the intense pain in his stomach at the time.

It was so uncomfortable, but he couldn’t bear to stop kissing Zheng Xunqian. When Zheng Xunqian’s lips moved slightly away, he felt lonely.

Zheng Xunqian looked at him and said, “It’s different from what you did to me before.”

Jing Tian quickly glanced at him and immediately looked away.

Zheng Xunqian undoubtedly guessed what he had remembered.

The small study room that evening was dimly lit, with clutter all around. But the scene in Jing Tian’s memory was exceptionally beautiful.

The person who usually ignored him and was extremely indifferent to him had his eyes closed, and his temperament softened with the soft light shining in from outside the window.

After getting closer, the faint fine hairs on Zheng Xunqian’s skin made him look like he was emitting light. His short, fine black hair at the temples, and slightly drooping long eyelashes all seemed so suitable to touch with lips.

Jing Tian not only remembered that scene, but also remembered his uncontrollable feelings at the time.

“It’s sexual harassment because it happened without my consent,” Zheng Xunqian said.

Jing Tian subconsciously wanted to say “I’m sorry,” but then remembered that he had already apologized at the time, so he forced himself to hold it back.

Before Zheng Xunqian said “sexual harassment” that day, he had asked Jing Tian a question.

Now, Jing Tian also wanted to ask, especially wanted to.

What other reason could make Zheng Xunqian kiss him passionately, even as he almost vomited on him but still tirelessly taking care of him, spending the whole night in the hospital with him?

His kindness to him was more than just last night.

From the moment he woke up in the infirmary to now, Zheng Xunqian had done too much for him.

It was completely different from all the memories he recalled.

Zheng Xunqian used to be so cold and disdainful towards him, openly showing his annoyance.

This was so strange.

Zheng Xunqian said that he had a request last night. Jing Tian thought about it and realized that he couldn’t give him anything.

“Since you remember…” Zheng Xunqian thought of something else, “Then last time, did you forget because of the alcohol?”

Jing Tian’s heart skipped a beat.

Zheng Xunqian glanced behind him, “…Is the switch really back there?”

“You, you’re talking nonsense!” Jing Tian’s head buzzed, lowered his head and tried to glare at him, “It’s broad daylight!”

There was no effect at all, Zheng Xunqian just shrugged.

Jing Tian wanted to say something else, but Zheng Xunqian let go of his hand and stood up.

“It’s about time, I’ll help you make an appointment, wait for me for a moment.”

As expected, the diagnosis was acute gastritis caused by alcohol.

The doctor prescribed some medicine for him, reminded him to take it on time, and also gave him some advice on diet and lifestyle. Finally, he advised him to have a gastroscopy in a few days.

Zheng Xunqian didn’t say a word as they left the consultation room. When they reached the elevator, he took Jing Tian’s hand.

On weekday mornings, most of the people who came to the hospital were middle-aged and elderly. The bright lights here, with two boys holding hands, inevitably attracted attention.

Jing Tian was nervous and embarrassed, wanting to pull his hand back, but Zheng Xunqian wouldn’t let go. However, he didn’t seem to care about the surrounding eyes at all. Jing Tian didn’t want to attract more attention by struggling, so he let Zheng Xunqian lead the way, keeping his head down the whole time.

After getting into a taxi, Zheng Xunqian soon started yawning.

Jing Tian straightened his back, hinting that Zheng Xunqian could rest his head on his shoulder for a while. Zheng Xunqian cooperated well. After leaning on him for a while, he fell asleep.

On the way, Jing Tian sneakily glanced at him from time to time.

Unfortunately, except for the scattered hair on his forehead and a little bit of his nose, he couldn’t see anything clearly.

Zheng Xunqian, who was asleep, was a little heavy, making Jing Tian’s shoulder ache. This discomfort brought him a strong sense of satisfaction in his chest. He secretly rejoiced and felt a little proud, wishing to take a selfie as a keepsake, but he felt too embarrassed.

They returned to school just after nine o’clock. They bought some easily digestible food at the breakfast stall near the school gate. After eating, Zheng Xunqian supervised Jing Tian to take his medicine obediently.

“I really don’t remember feeling unwell in my stomach,” Jing Tian tried to justify himself after taking the medicine, “I didn’t have this problem in high school.”

“You were very well behaved back then,” Zheng Xunqian said.

Jing Tian sighed. Back then, he lived in the school dormitory, and meals were provided by the cafeteria. He could only eat what was available. Snacks in the school store were limited, and outside food was prohibited by the school. He couldn’t leave the school campus at will until the weekend, and couldn’t even have bubble tea.

Entering college, he was free and had more money. From a certain perspective, he was indulging himself.

Seeing him looking sad, Zheng Xunqian said again, “You’re not that bad now.”

After saying that, he raised his hand and ruffled Jing Tian’s pink hair.

Back in the dormitory, Yang Yue wasn’t there, he had gone to class. Zheng Xunqian was worried about leaving Jing Tian alone and suggested staying to accompany him.

But there were two empty beds in the dormitory without bedding, just hard and uncomfortable wooden bed boards.

Zheng Xunqian had taken care of him all night and now needed sleep more than him.

“You should go back to rest,” Jing Tian said, “I’m fine now, not uncomfortable, you don’t need to stay.”

Zheng Xunqian didn’t say anything, nor did he leave.

The only bed where they could sleep was Yang Yue’s, and he would definitely have opinions about it.

“If you don’t rest properly and get sick, what should I do?” Jing Tian said again.

Zheng Xunqian walked around the room and pointed to the desk. “I’ll lie down here.”

“It’s uncomfortable and you won’t sleep well,” Jing Tian disagreed, “I really feel quite okay now.”

“How okay?” Zheng Xunqian asked.

“My head isn’t dizzy, and my stomach doesn’t hurt,” Jing Tian said.

Zheng Xunqian nodded. “Then borrowing half of your bed shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Jing Tian was stunned.

“Is it this one?” Zheng Xunqian lifted his hand and pointed.

Jing Tian panicked. “But… that… I…”

“Oh,” Zheng Xunqian asked, “which bed does the roommate who doesn’t want me to move in sleep on?”

Jing Tian immediately closed his mouth.

“Never mind about him,” Zheng Xunqian looked back at Jing Tian’s bed again. “Let me temporarily borrow your bed to sleep for a while. It shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

The single beds in the school dormitory were not spacious, and with two people squeezed together, their bodies were bound to be close.

Jing Tian and Zheng Xunqian covered themselves with the same blanket, feeling warm.

Closing their eyes, they couldn’t fall asleep at all.

Jing Tian deliberately turned away from Zheng Xunqian, but Zheng Xunqian faced him, extending his hand and wrapping it around Jing his waist.

“…What are you doing?” Jing Tian pulled his hand under the covers.

“Does it hurt here?” Zheng Xunqian asked, feeling his stomach.

Jing Tian didn’t hurt now, he just felt itchy and uncomfortable all over. “Don’t touch.”

“Oh,” Zheng Xunqian stopped his movement, but his hand still rested on Jing Tian’s body. 

“Goodnight.”

Jing Tian thought to himself, it’s clearly morning now.

He didn’t answer, and Zheng Xunqian didn’t speak again, just quietly holding him without moving.

They were too close. After a while, Jing Tian faintly heard Zheng Xunqian’s even breathing behind him.

It seemed like Zheng Xunqian had really fallen asleep like this.

Unbelievable.

Jing Tian wanted to sleep quickly too, but he couldn’t ignore the warmth behind him.

Zheng Xunqian said he was worried about him and wanted to accompany him, but he was clearly affecting his rest.

After lying still with his eyes closed for a while, Jing Tian moved slightly and tried to turn over.

The hand on his waist didn’t move.

Zheng Xunqian had stayed up all night and must have been exhausted, sleeping deeply now.

Jing Tian spent at least five minutes cautiously adjusting himself until he finally lay flat. Just as he was about to turn his head to look at Zheng Xunqian, there was suddenly movement beside him.

Zheng Xunqian shifted slightly, sighed, and muttered softly, “What are you doing…”

His tone carried a strong sense of exhaustion, clearly complaining.

Jing Tian didn’t say anything, thinking to himself, you insisted on squeezing with me, so you deserve it.

He lay quietly without moving, wanting to wait until Zheng Xunqian fell asleep again.

But Zheng Xunqian opened his eyes, tightened the arm that was draped over Jing Tian’s body, forcing him to move even closer to him.

“What are you doing!” Jing Tian shouted.

Zheng Xunqian squinted at him from such a close distance. “Why are you shouting?”

Jing Tian felt wronged and didn’t know where to start.

Zheng Xunqian smiled, kissed him on the cheek, and said again, “Goodnight.”

Jing Tian was stunned.

His actions were so natural, as if they slept together every night, a gesture that had been repeated countless times and should be familiar to both of them.

Silently turning his head, Jing Tian looked at him.

His sleeping face was different from what he remembered.

The image in his memory was much more beautiful than what he saw now. Zheng Xunqian’s skin was smoother, his features more defined, even his bangs were neater.

The Zheng Xunqian in front of him looked noticeably tired.

There were faint dark circles under his eyes, and his hair was messy.

It couldn’t have been easy to bring a drunkard who couldn’t move on his own to the hospital for treatment. He had been on the IV drip for so long, probably changing bags multiple times, and someone had to watch over him at all times without letting their guard down.

Zheng Xunqian must be really tired.

“Why are you so good to me?” Jing Tian whispered.

The only response was Zheng Xunqian’s calm breathing.

Jing Tian bit his lip gently. There was a surge of emotions in his heart even stronger than that day.

They had just exchanged passionate kisses last night, and that wonderful feeling still lingered, at the corners of his lips and in his heart.

Jing Tian looked at Zheng Xunqian’s features and swallowed silently, then leaned over carefully.

This time, he didn’t close his eyes.

When he accurately pressed his lips tightly against Zheng Xunqian’s, Zheng Xunqian reacted quickly.

He instinctively moved back a bit, then opened his eyes.

“…Why did you bump my nose?” he asked Jing Tian.

Jing Tian pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.

Lying face to face like this, trying to kiss, it was inevitable that noses would bump. What could he do about it? 

Zheng Xunqian squinted his eyes and looked at him. “Why are you harassing me again?”

Jing Tian moved back slightly, with a tense face and a bit of aggrieved feeling.

Zheng Xunqian looked at him for a moment, then leaned towards him. At the same time, he lifted the arm that was originally draped around Jing Tian’s waist, slowly moving it up to the back of Jing Tian’s head.

He lightly touched Jing Tian’s lips with his again and said, “It doesn’t count now.”
