OVTTGTBE Chapter 49

Back to the Dorm

Back to the Dorm

Both bodyguards were silent, which was exactly their answer.

“What good would knowing do?”

Bai Yao emphasized, “We’ve already broken up, she doesn’t need to do this.”

The words “break up” were like a thorn stuck in Liu Yucheng’s heart.

But for now, this might be why Bai Junyi hadn’t used forceful methods to forcibly separate them. She was currently just having the two bodyguards prevent them from meeting outside of school.

“Bai Yao, forget it.”

Liu Yucheng handed the groceries he was carrying to Bai Yao and said softly, “Don’t go against your mom too much. Since it’s her wish, let’s… just leave it at this today. I bought these groceries at the market, try making a meal yourself.”

Bai Yao got angry when he heard this. What did “leave it at this” mean? If they hadn’t broken up, would he still be so willing to compromise?

But since Liu Yucheng wanted to leave, Bai Yao naturally wouldn’t stop him, nodding and saying, “Okay, see you later.”

“Yeah.”

In the evening, the two bodyguards hid outside Bai Yao’s room, cautiously craning their necks to peek inside.

Bai Yao was sitting at his computer, with a book and a notebook in front of him, looking like he was working on his assignment for the week.

In order to prevent Liu Yucheng from entering the room, they lied to Bai Yao, saying that Bai Junyi had something to say; they could tell that he was in a bad mood.

Although he ended up ordering takeout for dinner, he couldn’t eat much of it, which made the two of them feel particularly awkward – if he starved, they wouldn’t be able to explain it to Bai Junyi either.

“What do we do?” Qianqian asked softly.

“What else can we do? Anyway, they’ve already broken up,” Manman replied quietly, “We definitely can’t let that Little Liu come to the house, or what if they get back together? How would we explain that?”

As soon as she finished speaking, they saw Bai Yao suddenly stand up, walk to the door, and “smack” it shut, locking it too.

The two bodyguards: “…”

It seemed like he wouldn’t get over his anger any time soon.

Bai Yao returned to his seat, opened WeChat on his computer, and clicked on Liu Yucheng’s profile picture.

This was Liu Yucheng’s main WeChat account, with a solid black profile picture. Bai Yao didn’t know how long it had been since he last spoke to him on this WeChat account. When he proactively sent a message, Bai Yao had a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.

Liu Yucheng: Actually, yesterday, my aunt received a summons from the court. Today, she called me from over a dozen different numbers, scolding me all day, saying it’s all my fault.

Bai Yao: My mom did it?

Liu Yucheng: Yeah, let’s talk in detail at school tomorrow. How did you solve dinner?

Bai Yao: I didn’t eat enough tonight.

Bai Yao: The takeout wasn’t good.

Liu Yucheng: I’ll make something and bring it to you tomorrow.

Bai Yao: Okay, where are you planning to borrow a kitchen from?

Liu Yucheng: There’s a hostel on the back alley of the school, you should pass by it often.

Bai Yao: I remember it.

Liu Yucheng: Actually, I used to rent hourly rooms there often when I recorded audio novels. The landlady there is very nice and willing to lend me her own kitchen.

Bai Yao: Sigh… My mom is really something, I don’t know why she has to do this. Today I was even thinking, should I move back to the dorm?

Liu Yucheng: Are you trying to get back together with me?

Bai Yao: ?

Bai Yao: No.

Liu Yucheng: Then why are you provoking her?

Bai Yao looked at their chat history, and suddenly snapped out of the inexplicable anger from the afternoon.

That’s right, he wasn’t getting back together with Liu Yucheng.

No matter who tried to stop them, it didn’t really matter.

But upon self-reflection, how did he come up with the idea of moving back to the dorm, and even have a rough plan…

It was because he wanted to see Liu Yucheng.

Ever since that trip, Bai Yao realized that he was no longer satisfied with only seeing Liu Yucheng in class; but this thought wasn’t strong enough to make him disregard past grievances and get back together with Liu Yucheng.

This in-between feeling was really killing him.

Liu Yucheng: [Picture]

Liu Yucheng: Something happened.

Bai Yao clicked on the picture he sent, zoomed in, and saw it was actually the orange senior who patrolled the lab before; there was blood next to him.

Bai Yao: Holy crap, what happened, is he still alive??

Liu Yucheng: He’s alive, he was hiding in the bushes by the side of the road, it looks like he was hit by a car.

Liu Yucheng: I’m taking him to the pet hospital now.

Bai Yao: Is it the one near the school? I’ll be right over.

Liu Yucheng: Okay.

…

By the time Bai Yao arrived at the pet hospital with the two bodyguards, it was more than twenty minutes later.

Liu Yucheng was sitting alone on the sofa in the pet hospital, his fingers and the coat he was holding were covered in blood.

The two bodyguards really wanted to sarcastically say to Bai Yao, you were in such a hurry to come out in the middle of the night, turns out you really were coming to see him.

But when they thought about how such a cute, chubby orange cat had been in a car accident, and Bai Yao looked really worried, they had no choice but to swallow their words.

Bai Yao asked Liu Yucheng, “How is it? Why is there so much blood?”

Liu Yucheng sighed and said, “He’s still alive, they’re doing surgery inside, but… the situation isn’t good, his hind leg is fractured.”

Hearing this news, Bai Yao thought of the orange senior leisurely patrolling the classrooms of the junior students, and his heart ached.

“Senior usually doesn’t run outside at school… I don’t know which ignorant bastard hit him and left, so irresponsible.”

Bai Yao sat down next to him, waiting together for news from inside.

It wasn’t until after 11:00 PM that the surgery ended, and the two of them followed the doctor to check on the senior.

“He’s very strong, and very well-behaved. When I was bandaging him, he didn’t make a sound, and didn’t bite me either.”

The doctor said, “But he still needs to stay here for a while longer for observation.”

The senior was lying asleep in the cage. Bai Yao saw that his hind leg was wrapped up tightly, and he was wearing an Elizabethan collar, looking particularly pitiful.

“When he can be discharged, I want to take him back to raise for a while.”

Bai Yao said, “Although I’m a little afraid of cats, if he doesn’t fully recover, he’ll be bullied by other cats if he goes back to school.”

“If you’re afraid, you can secretly keep him in our dorm,”

Liu Yucheng said, “I feed him often, and I understand his temper better. I just don’t know if Li Jinyang and Yan Hao are willing.”

“I don’t know about Yan Hao, but Li Jinyang seems to have a cat at home, so he shouldn’t mind.”

Bai Yao looked at him, “Speaking of which, it’s already very late, and the dorms are locked, what are you going to do tonight?”

Liu Yucheng didn’t say anything, and turned his head with Bai Yao, both looking at the two bodyguards standing not far away.

The two bodyguards: “…”

“Just for tonight, it’s okay for him to sleep in the guest room,”

Bai Yao said quietly, “If you still want to stop me, then I’ll just go outside and rent a room with him. Anyway, we’re outside now, and you can’t forcibly drag me away.”

The two bodyguards: “You’re really making things difficult for us.”

…

The next day at noon, Bai Yao didn’t go home after class, but carried his schoolbag to the men’s dorm.

“You two, you can just take me here.”

Bai Yao said.

“Young Master, what do you mean?”

“Although I don’t have class this afternoon, I have to go to the library to do group work with others.”

Bai Yao replied, “I want to go up and take a nap now, you can go wherever you want, just pick me up tonight.”

At this time, people were coming and going under the dorm building, and before the two of them could stop him, Bai Yao mixed into the crowd entering and leaving the dorm, and quickly ran away without a trace.

Unfortunately, Bai Junyi’s phone call came at this time.

“Uh… Bai Junyi, hello.”

“How’s the situation?”

“That… uh, Young Master is, napping.”

“Napping? Dudu rarely naps, what time did he rest last night?”

“This, this, we, don’t know…”

Last night, they only remembered that at around 4:00 AM, they heard Liu Yucheng and Bai Yao talking quietly by the refrigerator in the kitchen.

Although on the surface, Liu Yucheng stayed in their guest room last night; but they really didn’t know what time the two of them actually slept, and whether they ended up sleeping in the guest room or going upstairs to the master bedroom together.

“Pay attention, keep a closer eye on them, don’t let them get back together.”

“Yes, Bai Junyi.”

After a while, dorm 219 on the second floor.

“Ah, my mini-bed, I miss you so much!”

After spreading out the new sheets, Bai Yao lay down directly and stretched.

“Brother Yao, are you staying in the dorm tonight? Not leaving?”

“I’m still thinking about it.”

Bai Yao spoke his mind, “Those two bodyguards are watching me every day now, it’s a little annoying. I really don’t want to go back tonight, I want to move back.”

Taking advantage of the fact that Liu Yucheng wasn’t in the dorm, Li Jinyang leaned by his bed and asked him with a grin, “Did you get back together with Little Liu?”

“Let me tell you, I think he’s actually pretty good, you know about the senior’s car accident, right? Everyone at school knows now, he’s the one who wrapped the senior in his clothes and took him to the pet hospital… And before the midterm exams, he took that class last semester, and helped me and Tao Lin make up for so many gaps in our notes, that’s how we barely passed that subject!”

“We didn’t get back together, I would definitely tell you if we did.”

Bai Yao sat on the bed, “I already know about the senior, Liu Yucheng and I discussed it, and we plan to take him to the dorm or my house to raise after he’s discharged.”

“Whoa, you two are planning to raise a cat together? What’s the difference between that and raising a child?”

Li Jinyang was still talking when Liu Yucheng pushed the door open and entered the dorm with a lunchbox, “What about raising a child?”

“You’re finally back, I’m starving.”

Bai Yao jumped directly off the bed, “What did you make?”

It had been several hours since his last meal, the bowl of midnight soup noodles, and the two of them woke up a little late this morning, not having time to eat breakfast, so they had been hungry until now.

“Just ordinary egg fried rice, I added three hot dogs for you. Time was tight, so I bought the cooked rice outside.”

Liu Yucheng put the lunchbox on Bai Yao’s desk, “Eat it, if there’s anything wrong with the taste, I’ll improve it next time.”

“Aiyo aiyo aiyo. I think I know why Brother Yao wants to move back.”

Li Jinyang cheered from the side, “Look at you two, you went on a trip, and your relationship underwent a qualitative change.”

“We didn’t get back together.”

After the two emphasized it in unison, Bai Yao glanced at Liu Yucheng silently, then lowered his head and began scooping up the steaming fried rice in the lunchbox.

Ah, whatever.

He was going to send a message to the two bodyguards later, saying that he was staying in the dorm tonight and not going home.
