Qi Yiming, with his loud voice, is quite something—always yelling so loudly! Now, as more and more people gather around to watch, I’m too embarrassed to speak up.
“Bro, that looks like it really is your underwear!” Gu Yang, who had walked over at some point, commented.
Heh, as if I didn’t know that myself.
Just as I was about to go downstairs to retrieve my underwear, I saw a guy talking to Qi Yiming. With that ramrod-straight back and tall figure, who else could it be but our school heartthrob, Wen Xu?
I don’t know what they talked about, but Qi Yiming ended up handing the underwear to Wen Xu.
“…”
What’s he doing? I quickly dashed out of the dorm to check things out downstairs. At the corner of the staircase on the next floor, I bumped right into Wen Xu.
At that moment, Wen Xu was holding my underwear, his bangs a bit messy, probably tousled from running up and down the stairs.
“What are you doing with my underwear?” I asked.
“Given the situation, I was afraid you’d be embarrassed, so I took them for you,” Wen Xu replied, then handed the underwear to me.
I noticed a stain on the underwear, probably from when they had fallen on the ground.
“Forget it, they’re dirty now. I don’t want them,” I said, frowning.
Wen Xu seemed a bit surprised. His tone was a little odd as he said, “You really don’t want them? Then I’ll take care of them—”
“Wait!” I interrupted him, snatching the underwear from his hands. “I’ll take them. Thanks for picking them up.”
Tsk, almost forgot—if Wen Xu got hold of them, who knows what he’d do with them? Better to keep them safe with me.
“No problem,” Wen Xu replied.
Remembering the misunderstanding in the dorm about Wen Xu taking my underwear, I said, “About that… I misunderstood you. Sorry.”
“Hmm?” Wen Xu responded, confused.
“I thought you took my underwear,” I clarified.
“No worries. I’ve taken them before, so your suspicion is understandable,” Wen Xu said earnestly.
“…”
He’s quite self-aware.
That night, after climbing into bed, I received a message from [g5d6o4gpu1].
[g5d6o4gpu1]: Doctor, I’m thinking about asking him out to a movie tomorrow night. Which movie do you think is good?
He then sent me a list of movies.
I carefully picked one. Considering I’d be watching it with him, I didn’t want to torture myself. Eventually, I chose a movie adapted from a best-selling detective novel, which I had read and found quite decent.
[A City First Hospital Senior Psychologist]: This one should be good, a light-hearted detective film.
[g5d6o4gpu1]: Doctor, do you also like detective movies?
[A City First Hospital Senior Psychologist]: Uh, they’re okay.
[g5d6o4gpu1]: What a coincidence, we met in the school’s detective club. He should like this one.
Indeed, the first time I met Wen Xu was at the detective club, though I had heard of his name before.
[A City First Hospital Senior Psychologist]: I’m actually quite curious. How did you come to like him?
I asked a question that had been troubling me for a while. Wen Xu took some time to reply.
[g5d6o4gpu1]: It was love at first sight when I saw him.
“…”
Wen Xu fell for me at first sight? Did I do something special back then?
[g5d6o4gpu1]: Before meeting him, I had never liked anyone. It was only when I saw him that I understood what love at first sight meant.
[g5d6o4gpu1]: At first, I tried peacocking around him, showing off my good points, often passing by his class to create chance encounters, but he wasn’t moved at all.
So that’s why Wen Xu always seemed like he was dressed for a blind date when he appeared in front of me…
[g5d6o4gpu1]: Soon I found the reason. Peacocking attracts females, and since he’s a guy like me, naturally he wasn’t interested.
[g5d6o4gpu1]: I had never pursued anyone before, so I looked up information online. Netizens all said not to try to turn straight guys, as it harms both parties.
[g5d6o4gpu1]: Moreover, seeing him chat happily with the girls in the club, and feeling completely different when he was with me, I learned to just silently like him and suppress my feelings.
[A City First Hospital Senior Psychologist]: Until what?
[g5d6o4gpu1]: Until I read the psychology book you recommended. Then I realized I shouldn’t suppress my feelings anymore. I needed to express my true feelings to him.
[g5d6o4gpu1]: Doctor, really, thank you.
Great. So it seems I’ve dug my own grave?!
But really, the content on Wen Xu’s main page was quite terrifying. If one day he couldn’t control himself and did something drastic, the regret would be unbearable. I’m just trying to counsel him, not help him pursue me!
[A City First Hospital Senior Psychologist]: You’re welcome…
Then, Wen Xu said he wanted to give me a gift and transfer money as a thank you, which really scared me. I sternly refused.
[A City First Hospital Senior Psychologist]: I am a professional doctor. I don’t accept gifts or money! Sir, please don’t cross my professional ethical boundaries!
[g5d6o4gpu1]: Okay, I’ll listen to the doctor.
Since he was so compliant, I decided to push my luck.
[A City First Hospital Senior Psychologist]: Then listen to one more thing from me.
[A City First Hospital Senior Psychologist]: Falling for someone based on their looks is generally more about your imagination than the actual person, and that kind of feeling usually isn’t true love.
I tried to guide Wen Xu gently, hoping he’d come to his senses soon.
[g5d6o4gpu1]: Now that I’ve gotten to know him better and like him even more, Doctor, my feelings for him are genuine. You don’t have to doubt that.
Looks like he only listens to the doctor selectively.
The next day, Wen Xu indeed asked me out to see the movie I had mentioned the night before. Without much thought, I agreed.
The movie was at 8 PM, and we left the school at 7:20 PM. We arrived at the cinema by 7:40 PM.
Before the show, we lined up to buy a double portion of popcorn and drinks. As Wen Xu was about to pay, I had the staff scan my code first.
“I should treat you for once,” I said, holding a large bucket of popcorn.
Wen Xu, holding a drink in each hand, paused before saying, “Okay.”
I thought, with the novel’s backing, the movie couldn’t be that bad. But I underestimated the movie’s ability to deviate from its source material, and I accidentally fell asleep.
Falling asleep in a cinema isn’t new to me; I slipped into dreamland quite adeptly.
At first, my dream was of an endless ocean. I was lying on the beach, soaking up the sun, everything so pleasant. Then a wave swept me away, and the scene changed to the bar where we played truth or dare the other night, but it was empty except for Wen Xu and me.
Like that night, Wen Xu held me in his lap and kissed me, but this time, in my dream, I didn’t push him away. Instead, I closed my eyes and accepted his numerous kisses.
The kiss felt very real, with the warm touch of his lips—not uncomfortable, but actually quite soothing.
I didn’t know how long we kissed in the dream until the noise of children woke me up.
I opened my eyes groggily, only to see Wen Xu’s handsome face up close, which startled me. In my haze, I accidentally touched his nose with mine.
Our noses touching felt like an electric shock, and our eyes met instantly.
To avoid his gaze, I shifted my eyes slightly downward, only to find a pair of well-defined hands at my chest, unbuttoning my shirt—two buttons already undone!
These hands were clearly Wen Xu’s.
My heart raced. In broad daylight, under the clear sky, Wen Xu was… actually undressing me?!
“I can explain,” Wen Xu seemed to notice my gaze and said.
“…”
Alright, I really want to see how you’ll explain this.
