OVTTGTBE Chapter 10
by VolareHolding Hands
The pajama pants Bai Yao had struggled to put on were now being taken off, bit by bit, because he was hot.
The quilt had already been kicked to the side, and there was nothing else in the bed he could use as a fan. Bai Yao had no choice but to take off his phone case and use it to fan away the heat on his face.
“Why aren’t you talking?” Peach Milk asked him.
Bai Yao closed his eyes and clenched his teeth, refusing to make a sound.
Honestly, he was very susceptible to this kind of thing; otherwise, he wouldn’t have fallen so hard for Liu Yucheng. Whether Peach Milk and Liu Yucheng were the same person or not, the voice in the earphones was enticing him step by step, trying to make his desires take over and repeat the same mistakes.
“You said you waited for me all afternoon…”
Peach Milk’s soft panting came through the earphones, “I thought, you were missing me.”
Bai Yao: “…”
Help.
Hearing those words in CV Yuan Shuang’s voice was just too unfair. He couldn’t even bother with the heat anymore; if this continued… he would be dominated.
“No, I wasn’t missing you.”
Bai Yao threw the phone case aside and lightly bit his wrist. He tried to remind himself that the person he was talking to might be Liu Yucheng himself, and he wanted to calm down.
“I was missing you a lot.”
Damn it, his mouth had gone for a walk on its own again.
And the bite was too light, not even leaving a mark.
In an instant, Bai Yao’s mind was filled with images of Liu Yucheng biting his wrist in the past. He had good control, never biting hard enough to hurt, but his wrist could feel the warmth.
He heard Peach Milk take a deep breath.
“Say…”
Peach Milk was still panting slightly, his voice even lower, “Say you like me.”
Bai Yao struggled to the extreme, “If you dare to trick me with fake photos, I won’t let you go no matter where you run in this world.”
“Baby.” Peach Milk’s tone had a hint of aggression, “Hubby wants to hear you say it, hurry and say it to hubby, okay?”
“Baby” and “hubby” were also Bai Yao’s weaknesses, and now he was completely turned on, his heart almost jumping out. “I like you.”
“Who likes?”
“I…”
“Say it all together.”
“I like you…” Bai Yao was almost dying, “I want… to see a picture.”
“Want to see where?” Peach Milk asked casually.
“Anywhere… is fine…”
Bai Yao started panting as well.
He even hoped that Peach Milk would be ugly in person, with a bad figure, so he could immediately cool down and calm down.
A picture was sent to their chat box as promised.
Bai Yao hurriedly opened it, stared at it for three seconds, and then hung up the call and threw the phone to the end of the bed.
Two lines of tears streamed down onto the pillow. He slowly raised his left hand and gently bit his wrist, just like Liu Yucheng used to do.
This was the most unwilling self-release Bai Yao had ever experienced.
Both pleasurable and sad.
…
On Sunday afternoon, Li Jinyang and Zhang Yifang returned to the dorm one after the other.
“The atmosphere isn’t right.”
Zhang Yifang and Li Jinyang sat at their desks exchanging glances for a while. Li Jinyang whispered, “What’s wrong with Brother Yao?”
Sitting lifelessly on the bed, like a corpse.
Zhang Yifang squinted and shook his head, whispering, “It’s probably still his ex’s thing. Check our department’s Goose Group, someone saw that guy surnamed Liu go out to rent a room on Friday night.”
“Tsk.”
Li Jinyang turned to look at Bai Yao’s bed and saw Bai Yao staring blankly at him with a pale face, giving him a chill down his spine.
He gave a dry laugh and said, “Hey, Brother Yao, out with the old, in with the new! There are plenty of good-looking girls… good-looking guys in our school!”
Bai Yao: “…”
Bai Yao: “Don’t listen to his nonsense. Do I look like I’m upset about that? I’m struggling with…”
Struggling with something unrelated to Liu Yucheng? Come up with something quickly!
As for Liu Yucheng renting a room on Friday… he basically had the answer last night. He probably did it to talk to him.
The photo he sent last night was of a man’s Adam’s apple and collarbone. Although the picture had been heavily photoshopped, Bai Yao recognized it at a glance. Before, when Liu Yucheng took off his shirt, Bai Yao would secretly stare at his collarbones.
He just didn’t understand what Liu Yucheng was trying to do. Getting back together was impossible; online chatting and being together in real life were two different things.
The nutritional supplements that “Peach Milk” bought for him were also delivered this morning. Bai Yao went to the express locker early in the morning to pick them up and ran into Yan Hao, who had just returned from an all-night session at the internet cafe.
Yan Hao wasn’t in the dorm last night, and the other two had gone home. That meant Liu Yucheng was the only one in Dorm 519 last night, which was why he chatted so easily.
“I’m struggling with whether to let you drink that box of milk.”
Bai Yao continued, “When Tao Lin comes back, you three can share it. I can’t drink it all anyway, can’t waste it.”
When they returned to the dorm, Zhang Yifang and Li Jinyang noticed that there was a box of milk and a lot of food on Bai Yao’s desk.
“Okay, thanks, Brother Yao!!”
Of course, they were happy for free stuff.
Bai Yao wasn’t happy at all, and he quietly sighed in bed. After the call ended last night, Peach Milk sent him many messages.
[1:43 AM]
Peach Milk: Why did you hang up? Are you upset…?
Peach Milk: You didn’t like the picture? [Crying]
Peach Milk: Baby, please talk to me… [Pleading]
[2:38 AM]
Peach Milk: I’m sorry, I crossed the line.
[4:40 AM]
Peach Milk: [Wah Wah Dà kū]
This was the first time he had begged like this.
Bai Yao was easily moved. Fortunately, he was typing, so even if Bai Yao’s heart softened, he wouldn’t show it immediately, giving him room to think; but if it was face-to-face or a phone call, Bai Yao wouldn’t be able to resist either way.
One was the appearance of Liu Yucheng, whom he liked, and the other was the CV voice he liked. The thought of these two combining made Bai Yao feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.
Click on Peach Milk’s profile picture, click on friend information, add to the blacklist, done.
Now that his leg was injured and he couldn’t fight, this was the only feasible action Bai Yao could think of.
Less than two minutes after blacklisting him, someone knocked on the door of Dorm 319.
Bai Yao thought it was Liu Yucheng coming and tensed up. Li Jinyang immediately asked, “Who is it?”
“Uh, I’m Yan Hao from Dorm 519. I have something to ask Bai Yao about,” the person outside replied.
A bad feeling suddenly washed over him. Bai Yao shook his head at Li Jinyang, trying to signal that Bai Yao wasn’t here.
Li Jinyang glanced at Bai Yao’s haggard face, smiled, and walked over to open the door. “Looking for Brother Yao? He’s here, he’s here, come on in… Bro, why does your face look so bad?”
Bai Yao: “…………”
Okay, okay, stirring up trouble, huh?
Yan Hao’s face wasn’t much better than Bai Yao’s, and he said awkwardly, “I stayed up all night last night, but that’s not the point… Bai Yao, Liu Yucheng seems to have a fever. I’m really weak right now and don’t have the strength to take care of him, and the other two roommates don’t know when they’ll be back.”
“Is it convenient for you to go upstairs and check on him? He might need an IV.”
“Uh.” Zhang Yifang raised his chin and said, “Brother Yao is injured too, he doesn’t have the strength to take care of him.”
“I’m fine.”
Bai Yao had slowly climbed out of bed. “I’ll go up and take a look with you.”
But if he did that, what was the point of blacklisting him?
But Bai Yao couldn’t think of a good reason to refuse, because he had met Yan Hao outside when he picked up the express this morning. He knew he could walk; and Yan Hao didn’t know the true relationship between him and Liu Yucheng, still thinking they were good friends.
Whether or not he could take care of him was another matter, but he had to go up and take a look at least. After all, yesterday Liu Yucheng had carried him back to the dorm when he couldn’t walk.
“Then we’ll go together too.”
Zhang Yifang and Li Jinyang stood up and changed into their outdoor shoes. “We can also give you a hand, so we won’t be drinking your box of milk for nothing.”
“Okay, thank you guys.”
…
“Liu Yucheng, I’ve brought a group of people to take care of you. I really can’t handle it, I’m going to sleep.” After Yan Hao finished speaking, he quickly climbed into his bed, and snores started just seconds later.
Liu Yucheng’s arm was over his forehead, and he didn’t open his eyes, just muttering, “Not sick, don’t need it, thank you.”
“Goodness, who is he rejecting like he’s turning down a sales pitch?” Li Jinyang joked, “Bro, open your eyes and see who’s here.”
Hearing the voices of Bai Yao’s roommates, Liu Yucheng slowly turned his head and met Bai Yao’s emotionless eyes.
Liu Yucheng: “…”
Bai Yao: “Sick?”
“…”
“Are you feeling unwell? Should I take you to the hospital?”
“…”
“I’m asking you a question, don’t be stubbornly silent!”
Bai Yao felt a little soft-hearted as soon as he saw him; and as soon as he felt soft-hearted, he got angry at himself, becoming very irritable.
Li Jinyang pulled on Bai Yao’s arm and whispered, “Brother Yao, if you want him back, you have to be gentle.”
“Tsk.”
Bai Yao supported himself on Liu Yucheng’s bed with both hands, lifted his leg to kick Li Jinyang, but Li Jinyang dodged it nimbly.
Suddenly, a large hand reached out from the quilt and pulled Bai Yao’s hand into the bed. He moved so fast that, apart from Bai Yao, the other two didn’t even notice the small action.
Bai Yao: “…?”
“No need, I’m fine.”
Liu Yucheng opened his mouth and said softly, “You guys can go back.”
Bai Yao tried to pull his hand back, but he held on even tighter.
“You’re still injured, you should go back too. I’ll be fine on my own.”
Liu Yucheng said, deliberately turning his face away.
Bai Yao: “???”
“Forget it, Brother Yao, it seems he really has changed his mind.” Zhang Yifang sighed repeatedly from the side, “Let’s go, bro, I’ll introduce you to someone better later, don’t be sad for him anymore.”
Li Jinyang nodded in agreement: “We shouldn’t have come up. Brother Yao, it looks like we can only drink your milk for nothing.”
“Damn it!”
Bai Yao couldn’t stand steadily in the first place, and he hadn’t been able to break free after struggling for a long time.
Hearing them say that, he got angry and used his free hand to yank open Liu Yucheng’s quilt, unable to help but curse, “Then why the hell aren’t you letting go! What do you mean by holding onto me like this??”
Liu Yucheng’s pajamas and pajama pants, and their hands clasped tightly together, were suddenly revealed in front of Zhang Yifang and Li Jinyang.
“Holy crap…”
Li Jinyang looked at the patterns on Liu Yucheng’s pajamas, his expression becoming very subtle. “Brother Yao, I can’t believe it, you two are wearing couple pajamas? You’re wearing Jerry, and he’s wearing Tom? Didn’t you say you were the top?”
Bai Yao: “…………”
Finished, his image as the dorm boss was shattered.
