RSK Chapter 14

The first person I texted back was Gu Yang.

[Gu Yang]: I really don’t know what got into him—why would he have such a huge misunderstanding?

[Ning Ran]: How could that be? What are you thinking?

As for the person Duan Linze mentioned who was talking in his sleep… could it be Wen Xu? Damn, did this guy say something he shouldn’t have?!

After pondering for a bit, I texted him back.

[Ning Ran]: Uh… who could it be?

After replying to those two, I revisited the anonymous forum and checked the message from user [g5d6o4gpu1].

[g5d6o4gpu1]: He kissed me first.

Who is this “he”? Could it be me, the guy who was accidentally pushed into kissing his bunkmate? Didn’t Wen Xu realize that was an accident?!

I was so mad I sat up in bed. Just as I was thinking of how to reply, Wen Xu came over and said, “Ning Ran, are you awake?”

“Huh? Yeah, I’m up. What’s up?” I turned my head in confusion, and because the neckline of my pajamas was too loose, any movement made it slip down, revealing much of my shoulder.

Wen Xu, looking at the exposed part of my neckline, said gravely, “Well, once you’ve washed up, let’s head out.” After that, he went back to his seat.

It was then I remembered that I had indeed said I’d treat Wen Xu to a meal this weekend as a way of returning the favor for letting me stay at his place. Damn, the events of last night almost made me forget about this. But since I had already made plans, I had no choice but to tough it out and get out of bed to wash up.

Only when I stepped out of the dorm did I realize Wen Xu was dressed too sharply today, his hair even seemed specially done. On our way to the restaurant, I saw him being hit on several times, but he just ignored them and walked straight past.

Once at the Cantonese restaurant and after ordering, I didn’t beat around the bush and directly addressed Wen Xu: “About last night’s Truth or Dare, I was pushed from behind and ended up accidentally hitting your lips. You know that, right?”

“Yeah, I know.” Wen Xu wasn’t vague at all.

Damn, this guy knows it yet he told the “doctor” online that it was me who kissed him? That’s so shameless!

I gritted my teeth and said, “Good that you know, it was just an accident!”

Wen Xu paused before replying, “Mhm.”

Geez, Mr. Agreeable here.

While waiting for our food, I pulled out my phone to play, only to find that Gu Yang had messaged me eight minutes ago. I opened it to see.

[Gu Yang]: Is that so? The kiss seemed so natural yesterday, didn’t look like it was your first time.

I felt a sudden pang in my heart. Indeed, it wasn’t the first time I kissed Wen Xu, but was Gu Yang’s vision that bad? Didn’t he see my struggle and helplessness last night?!

“What are you looking at?” Wen Xu suddenly asked, startling me into locking my phone. Luckily, the waiter began serving our food at that moment, allowing me to quickly change the subject.

Throughout the meal, Wen Xu and I barely spoke. I didn’t want to deal with him—thinking about his actions last night and the message I saw this morning just made me angry, so I focused on eating.

When I went to pay at the front desk, the cashier told me the handsome guy next to me had already settled the bill. I was surprised and turned to ask Wen Xu, “Huh? When did you pay? Weren’t I supposed to treat you?”

“I just paid while I was in the restroom, no worries, you can treat me next time,” Wen Xu said slowly.

“…Alright then.”

This scheming queer, he must have planned this from the start. What a miscalculation.

Back in the dorm, Qi Yiming was still sleeping like a pig, and both Gu Yang and Duan Linze were out, probably. Damn, does that mean it’s just Wen Xu and me left? No way, I need to get out of here.

While Wen Xu was washing his hands on the balcony, I grabbed my laptop and hurried out of the dorm, making my way to the library. I thought the library would be quieter on the weekend, but to my surprise, it was still packed at noon. After searching for a while, I finally found an empty seat, sat down, and pulled out my phone to reply to Gu Yang, as I hadn’t had a chance earlier.

[Ning Ran]: You must be mistaken. How could that be possible between him and me? We’re both guys.

After sending that, I opened the anonymous forum to reply to the “patient” [g5d6o4gpu1].

[A City First Hospital Senior Psychologist]: Are you sure it was him who initiated?

[A City First Hospital Senior Psychologist]: It doesn’t seem like it to me.

Ha, let’s see what you have to say!

Since I usually play games on the desktop computer at the dorm, my laptop doesn’t have much for entertainment, so I had to study. After a while, I got a message notification from the anonymous forum and checked it.

Damn, this shameless queer! He just said he knew it was an accident in the restaurant, and now he’s changed his tune online. But I can’t expose him, as that would reveal my identity.

As I was thinking about how to reply, another message came from the opposite side.

[g5d6o4gpu1]: He was pushed by someone, which led to the kiss. Though it was an accident, he did initiate it.

[g5d6o4gpu1]: But he moved away quickly. In that situation, I couldn’t help but kiss him in front of everyone.

[A City First Hospital Senior Psychologist]: …That’s not right, you know it wasn’t intentional, and yet you did such a thing!

[g5d6o4gpu1]: But doctor, he was sitting on my lap, and he’s so cute, how could I resist?

[g5d6o4gpu1]: I know I was impulsive. Afterward, he complained that my kissing skills were poor, but I’ve only ever kissed him. He won’t practice with me, so how can I improve?

[A City First Hospital Senior Psychologist]: Maybe find someone else…

After sending that message, there was no reply from the other side, so I went back to studying. About half an hour later, I received another message notification through my headphones and checked it.

[g5d6o4gpu1]: I don’t want anyone else. I only want him.

[g5d6o4gpu1]: Doctor, if my kissing skills improve and I make him feel good, will he agree to be with me then?
