Looking at the two messages that popped up on my screen, I couldn’t help but curse, “Seducing your grandpa…”
Qi Yiming, who was playing games next to me, heard this and asked without even lifting his head, “What?! You want to seduce an old man? That’s some weird taste, huh?”
I twitched my lips and replied, “Go away, you heard wrong. Focus on your game!”
Actually, it was within expectations that Wen Xu would misunderstand; after all, that method was indeed meant to test if someone was gay. But wasn’t he not aroused? Or could he not perform?
Tsk, that might be a possibility.
After thinking for a while, I edited and sent a message back.
[A City First Hospital Senior Psychologist]: It doesn’t mean anything, it’s very common for guys to horse around like this, don’t overthink it.
[g5d6o4gpu1]: But I feel like he did it on purpose.
[g5d6o4gpu1]: He purposely got me hard, and I ended up jerking off in the bathroom for a long time.
[A City First Hospital Senior Psychologist]: …
Crap, so he wasn’t impotent!
No wonder he was panting so hard when I called him; he was busy doing his business in the bathroom!
Wen Xu really talks differently online; he’s bold enough to say anything.
But I can’t keep up with this topic, better steer it away quickly!
[A City First Hospital Senior Psychologist]: Maybe you should start by reading some psychology books. I’ll recommend a few for you.
Then, I sent over a bunch of psychotherapy books that I had specifically looked up that afternoon for Wen Xu.
After all, I’m not a real psychologist. When push comes to shove, you gotta rely on expert books for guidance.
[A City First Hospital Senior Psychologist]: These books are mostly available for subscription online, though a few might need to be bought in-store. If you can’t find them, send me your address, and I’ll mail them to you.
[g5d6o4gpu1]: Okay, thanks.
[g5d6o4gpu1]: No need to mail them, I can find them myself.
[g5d6o4gpu1]: I’ll start reading the books then.
“…”
Hey, maybe wait a bit before you start reading, I still had more to say.
Sadly, after sending that message, Wen Xu really did log off.
It left me quite baffled. Was he really that obedient? Do all top students immediately hit the books when they get them?
The next afternoon, upon reading in the group chat that the water and electricity were back to normal, Qi Yiming and I headed back to school.
Since Wen Xu had been offline since last night, it wasn’t possible that he read books all day long, was it?
When we got to our dorm, we were surprised to see Gu Yang, who was supposed to be sketching outdoors. Wasn’t he supposed to be gone for a week? And it had only been three days.
“Gu Yang, weren’t you out sketching in the mountains? Why are you back so soon?” Qi Yiming asked before I could.
Gu Yang looked all miserable as he said, “Don’t even mention it, the spot we were supposed to paint at encountered a landslide, and we couldn’t get through, so we had to come back early.”
“Ah? That serious, nobody got hurt, right?” I exclaimed in surprise.
Gu Yang replied, “Shouldn’t be, there aren’t any residences at the base of that mountain, and we didn’t hear of any injuries when we left.”
“That’s good then, nothing’s more important than people being safe,” I comforted him.
Qi Yiming also came over to console him, “Yeah, as long as everyone’s safe, there will always be another chance for sketching!”
“Yeah, I’ll listen to my brothers,” Gu Yang obediently said.
Later, as Gu Yang chatted with me and Qi Yiming went off to shower, the dorm door suddenly opened, and Wen Xu walked in holding several books, expressionless.
The moment I saw him, my heart skipped a beat, and I didn’t know where to put my hands or feet.
Fortunately, Wen Xu didn’t look my way and went straight to his spot without greeting anyone.
I accidentally caught a glimpse of the title of one of the books he was holding.
“How to Control Extreme Emotions”…
That was one of the books I recommended last night; it seems Wen Xu really did take the “doctor’s” advice seriously.
After Qi Yiming came out of the shower, Duan Linze also returned, announcing, “Bad news, just got a message from the dorm supervisor, they’re going to cut off the water again in about twenty minutes because the pipes aren’t fully fixed yet, urging us to hurry up and shower.”
As soon as he finished, everyone started to moan, what the hell kind of plumbing is this, not fixed after two days.
Gu Yang said, “But only Yiming managed to shower, how can the four of us shower in less than half an hour?”
“Right, so let’s shower together, two at a time. Ning Ran, you shower with me,” Duan Linze suddenly suggested.
“No way, Ran-ge showers with me, and you shower with Wen-ge!” Gu Yang quickly pulled my hand.
Internally laughing, I felt the intense gaze from behind and knew exactly who it was.
As I felt a chill down my spine, Duan Linze reluctantly said, “Alright then, Ning Ran, you decide who to shower with. We really need to hurry.”
Without thinking, I blurted out, “I’ll shower with Wen Xu.”
I hadn’t thought this through at all, mainly because I was worried Wen Xu might get unnecessarily jealous again, causing his “condition” to worsen, which would be bad for me.
Upon hearing my words, Wen Xu visibly paused, and after a moment, he just said one word, “…Okay.”
Since we were really pressed for time, Duan Linze didn’t say much and urged us to get going.
Then, Wen Xu and I grabbed our change of clothes and entered the bathroom together.
In the cramped space, I turned my back to Wen Xu, feeling somewhat breathless. Just as I was unbuttoning my shirt, I suddenly remembered that Wen Xu’s home was near the school. We could totally go there to shower.
Just as I turned around to suggest this to him, I saw that Wen Xu had already stripped completely.
“…”
My eyes involuntarily drifted downward.
Holy crap, what the hell was that monstrously huge thing?
