At these words, Yu Guang suddenly looked up, his bangs swaying slightly from the abrupt movement, revealing the pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes underneath.

Ye Si… Senior Ye Si?

It really was Senior Ye Si!

He’s too close, Ye Si was leaning in too close to him.

The refreshing scent of sandalwood on the other person almost permeated through every pore and inch of his skin.

Yu Guang stared at the face in front of him, cold and sharp like an ancient Greek sculpture, his brain temporarily malfunctioning for several seconds.

“Ah…”

He hesitated for a moment before remembering to play it cool, quickly lowering his head to adjust his bangs and cover the overly bright eyes, nervously asking, “Senior Ye, what did you just say?”

“I forgot to take a picture of the teacher’s PowerPoint slides. Did you manage to take one, Yu Guang?”

Ye Si’s well-defined fingers were still resting on the desk in front of him, the bones of his fingers slightly curved, casting a smooth arc. The not-so-transparent sunlight outside covered his overly pale skin, giving off a strange and exquisite beauty.

Yu Guang had already pulled his hand back under the desk when Ye Si leaned in. Now, he continued to shield himself with the thin layer of the wooden desk, tightening his grip on his hand, slowly moving it above Ye Si’s hand resting on the desk.

If there were truly magic in the world that could make the desk disappear between them…

Ye Si’s hand,

would fall.

—As if he was supporting me.

“Yu Guang?”

Ye Si’s voice.

The beautiful hand, as if a work of art, moved away from the desk and waved in front of him.

The cool breeze that swept through the air made it hard not to speculate whether this hand, waving through the air, was also as cool.

Yu Guang hesitated for a moment, only to realize that he had once again been lost in Ye Si’s gaze. His hand trembled with a “bang” as his phone hit the metal of the desk, the reverberation lingering.

He hurriedly stuffed the phone into the deepest part of his backpack, shaking his head at the man with empty hands.

“Sorry… I, I didn’t manage to take one just now!”

“Is that so?”

Ye Si slightly tilted his head towards him, the backlit strands of hair swaying gently into Yu Guang’s heart.

After the initial palpitations subsided, Yu Guang suddenly realized that he was in a huge crisis.

Ye Si had seen him taking photos just now—they even made eye contact through the lens. He would never forget that captivating glance.

Sure enough, Senior Ye Si was not as easy to deceive as his stupid roommates. The almost imperceptible smile on the man’s lips was the best confirmation.

Yu Guang had a strong sense of foreboding in his heart. Ye Si didn’t intend to let him off that easily.

He knew this thought was even more bizarre than red rain in the world. Why wouldn’t Ye Si let him off? They were just strangers who happened to cross paths…

But the pounding in his left chest constantly reminded him: Don’t let your guard down. The crimson veins under his skin had become the best conductor, “thump, thump, thump”, even his eardrums began to vibrate.

He needed a reason…

He couldn’t let Ye Si see the snapshots of his profile in his phone…

“Senior… I’m sorry… I didn’t manage to take clear pictures, I didn’t mean to hide them from you…” Yu Guang pursed his lips, showing weakness to the man, the shadows of his bangs covering his eyes, presenting a pitiful appearance.

“Is that so?” Still light and airy, tossing the question back to Yu Guang.

Ye Si’s fair and clearly articulated hand attacked in front of him. Yu Guang thought Ye Si was going to take his phone to check it, his breath halted, his fingers tightly gripping the zipper of his backpack.

“Heh—why are you so nervous?”

The scent of wood wafted through the air, Ye Si’s clean fingertips brushed past his temples, but only gently smoothed his bangs.

“Has anyone ever told you that your eyes are very beautiful?”
