After Hooking Up With The Wrong Cold Professor Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Xia Yize sat on the ground and rolled the dice for a long time, but there was no result. Instead, he became more and more panicked.

At this time, Qi Ge’s voice came from outside the door, “You didn’t take your towel.”

Xia Yize trembled when he heard the voice. He couldn’t be here to settle accounts.

He took a deep breath to pretend to be calm, put on a smile and opened the door. Qi Ge stood outside the door, holding his towel with one finger. Xia Yize quickly took it, “Thank you.”

Xia Yize couldn’t stand the torment in his heart and asked tentatively: “While I was taking a shower, was there any message on my phone?”

“No.”

What does “no” mean? You’ll know if it’s not there until you look at it. He scratched his hair and asked, “Is my wallpaper good-looking?” Xia Yize was expecting Qi Ge’s answer in his heart without looking at your wallpaper.

Qi Ge raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn’t expect him to ask so directly, “What do you think is good-looking?”

Xia Yize felt like a basin of cold water was poured down on him, “I can explain.”

Xia Yize’s hair was still dripping, and he was still wrapped in a bath towel. He looked at Qi Ge with a pair of wet eyes. Qi Ge didn’t want to tease him anymore, so he chuckled and said, “Is your hot water ready? Let me check it for you.”

“Ah?” Xia Yize didn’t expect Qi Ge to be willing to help him repair the water pipe. He probably didn’t notice it, because he seemed to be smiling.

But Xia Yize’s bathroom hadn’t been cleaned yet. He didn’t want to be seen by Qi Ge, a germaphobe, so he stood at the door and said, “I’ll ask a master to come and take a look tomorrow. I won’t bother you.”

Qi Ge raised his eyebrows slightly, “It can’t be that it’s not broken in the first place.”

Xia Yize stood up straight. It was unacceptable to be wronged. “No.” Xia Yize sneezed again in a hurry.

Qi Ge put a towel on him and said, “I’ll go take a look.”

Qi Ge had thought of several possibilities before he came, but half of them were forgotten when he entered the bathroom. There was the smell of fragrance in the bathroom, and the water on the floor was not dry. A bear’s bath ball stood on the ground with Xia Yize’s clothes, coat and underwear on his hips. There were water drops hanging on the mirror, reflecting the faces of the two people hazily. Xia Yize went in first to put away the clothes and picked up the bath ball.

Qi Ge now regrets coming in. There are still big differences between people’s bathrooms. His bathroom can be used as a model room in advertisements, while Xia Yize’s bathroom reveals a sense of privacy.

Qi Ge strode into the bathroom and tried his best to keep his eyes on the water heater. The reasons he had preset turned out to be wrong, just because the hot water valve was not turned on.

Qi Ge adjusted it and turned on the faucet. The water temperature came up quickly. Qi Ge said: “Okay.”

Xia Yize came over to test the water temperature. Qi Ge just twisted it a few times and it was fine. He was pleasantly surprised and said: “It’s amazing. You are so omnipotent. I’ll bring you a towel to wipe it, but your clothes are stained with water.”

Xia Yize hummed a song and put on one slipper. He stood up to get a towel. He was so excited that he felt extremely happy and sad. His foot slipped and his mind began to think rapidly about how to get up quickly to avoid embarrassment when he was lying on his back.

In the flash of lightning, a pair of hands caught him. Qi Ge was behind him and caught him steadily. Xia Yize was still in shock, his heart was pounding and he was panting. Qi Ge didn’t move for a long time. Xia Yize lay in his arms, at a loss, and said: “Thank you.”

The faucet was not turned off yet, hot water flowed out, and the bathroom was filled with steam. Xia Yize’s body had the sweet fragrance of shower gel. Her big eyes covered with moisture raised and looked at him. The beating of two hearts seemed to be amplified in the small space. Qi Ge felt that the oxygen in the bathroom was not enough.

He helped Xia Yize up and said, “I’m going back first.”

Qi Ge left suddenly, leaving Xia Yize alone. He realized later that Qi Ge had hugged him just now.

As if he was suddenly electrified, he rushed out of the bathroom, picked up the little black sesame ball, rubbed the cat, and laughed.

The little black sesame ball bit his hand, struggled out of his arms, and turned back to meow at him dissatisfied.

Qi Ge went back and closed the door, his breath still unsteady, and Xia Yize’s eyes lingered in his mind. He poured himself a glass of water and turned on the computer, but he didn’t read a word for a long time.

–

Xia Yize still learns new dishes every day and treats Qi Ge to dinner. Qi Ge brings him fruit snacks after get off work, and the neighbors become more and more harmonious.

A week later, Xia Yize had to go back to work at the printing company. He didn’t have a car. Just imagining the crowds of people on the bus during the morning rush hour gave him a headache. Since he already lived across from Qi Ge’s house, he would not go to work.

But looking at the balance in the card, he looked up to the sky and sighed, Qingqing, come back soon, I can’t bear it alone~

The day before going to work, Xia Yize wanted to ask Qi Ge if he could use his car to go to work, but considering that Qi Ge had to go for a morning run before going to school, it was hard to say which was more painful: getting up early or squeezing the bus, and Qi Ge might not be willing to take him to work every day.

In the past few days, Xia Yize has regained his biological clock of getting up in the afternoon. He suddenly had to get up early to go to work. Xia Yize set eight alarm clocks before getting up. He didn’t have enough time, but there was a long queue at the bus stop. Two cars passed by, but he still couldn’t get on the bus.

Finally the third bus came, and he was already at the front of the queue. The bus was rickety, like a fat man who was overfed, and it was full of people.

He was reluctantly pushed forward by the people behind him. When he got there, he couldn’t put a foot in the door. The people behind him wanted to try harder. Xia Yize was pushed with one foot and the people behind him grabbed the handrail of the door and squeezed in.

Xia Yize has simply seen the flexibility of human beings.

He was motionless inside, like a fish in a can. He could only endure the slow passage of time with his eyes open.

Xia Yize blew the messy bangs on his forehead, trying to relieve his inner irritation.

The rickety bus stopped at the next stop. The people inside shouted to get off the bus and give way, and the people outside said to walk inside.

Xia Yize was pushed and squeezed into the middle of the car. There were still people on all sides. He didn’t have an armrest, so he didn’t have to worry about falling because there was no space.

When he got off the bus, Xia Yize held on to a tree and took a deep breath. The day had just begun and he felt that his energy had been exhausted. He had underestimated the morning rush hour in the city center.

Even so, Xia Yize was still late, so he simply walked slowly to the printing club.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the owner of the printing company sitting at the exit of the passage where he set up to collect money.

When the boss saw him, he looked at him first, looked at the time and said, “I’m late today.”

Xia Yize said tiredly: “I still have a headache.”

Xia Yize was hit by many students who saw it. The boss weighed the work injury compensation and the fine for being late and said: “I will deduct the money next time. I have given you so many days of leave. Who knows if it is because you hurt your head again at home.”

Xia Yize ignored him and went in to tidy the shelves.

The boss looked really unhappy and didn’t give him any instructions.

Xia Yize still sent Qi Ge a photo of the cafeteria at noon. After he had eaten, Qi Ge actually replied to him, “I went back to work today.”】

Xia Yize made a withered expression.

Qi Ge didn’t say anything else. Xia Yize was used to Qi Ge’s style of not replying unless necessary. He still commented on today’s dishes for Qi Ge.

As soon as he went out, he saw several students setting up a promotional sign. He stood on tiptoe to promote the New Year’s Day activities.

The winter solstice is approaching!Let’s make dumplings in the cafeteria together!

Each person who registers and pays 20 yuan can participate in the dumpling-making activity held in the cafeteria on the day of the winter solstice. The limit is 300 people on a first-come, first-served basis.

Xia Yize checked the calendar and found that the winter solstice was a working day. There used to be a custom of eating dumplings during the winter solstice at home.

He asked Qi Ge if he wanted to go.

Qi Ge only replied to him in the afternoon, “I have work.”】

Xia Yize was a little disappointed, but he was unwilling to give in. [Dumplings are eaten during the winter solstice, and it only takes up two hours of dinner. Last time I saw you were very good at making dumplings in the nursing home.】

Qi Ge didn’t reply, so Xia Yize kept chattering, and finally said aggrievedly, “Okay, I’ll see if there are any classmates I know and I’ll go with them.”】

Not long after, Qi Ge replied, [Then you and your classmates can go.】

Xia Yize chuckled, thinking that if my classmates and I went there, he wouldn’t reply to the message. He sent another message, “No, I just want to make dumplings with you.”】

It wasn’t until night that Qi Ge replied, “Go.”】

Xia Yize likes to join in the fun and eat dumplings. He has already thought of asking Qi Ge to teach him how to make dumplings.

–

Since Xia Yize moved, he has asked Qi Ge to have dinner every night. Today Xia Yize went to work. Qi Ge first asked Xia Yize, “What are you going to eat tonight?”】

Qi Ge has already planned several options, including going to the snack street to eat, buying groceries and making a simple meal at home, or trying a newly opened restaurant nearby, and heard students say it tastes good.

Xia Yize never replied. Qi Ge guessed that he might have gone to class, so he was busy with his own affairs.

Until the end of the elective class, Xia Yize still didn’t reply. He had responded quickly to previous messages.

Qi Ge was a little flustered for no reason. He called Xia Yize and asked him to shut down the phone. He went to the printing office and found that the lights inside were all turned off.

Could it be that he was going home? He didn’t realize that his pace quickened. Qi Ge drove out and not far away, he saw a group of students sitting in front of a barbecue stall, talking and laughing. The familiar figure inside was Xia Yize.

The moment he saw him, Qi Ge felt a little more at ease. Then he saw the boy next to Xia Yize bring him a handful of meat skewers. He opened a bottle of drink for him. He was quite familiar with him from time to time. He didn’t reply to messages because he was busy having dinner with his classmates.

Qi Ge was overtaken by the car behind him, honking his horn, and his sight was blocked for a moment. Only then did Qi Ge realize that his speed was too slow.

He used to be Xia Yize’s only friend in school or even in the city, but not anymore. He has many friends around him. In fact, with his personality, it’s normal to have many friends, but Qi Ge inexplicably feels that he seems to be on the edge of Xia Yize’s circle.

Qi Ge did not disturb him and went home alone. The neon lights on the road flickered, reflecting on Qi Ge’s face, and the light was distorted.

When he got out of the elevator, he still subconsciously looked at the pair of little heads on the other side that were not sticking out.

As usual, Qi Ge made a sandwich for dinner and then turned on the computer to read some literature. However, today he still couldn’t help but pay attention to the movement outside the door. Until almost ten o’clock, there was a sound of opening the door outside, and it sounded like a person.

It didn’t take long for Xia Yize to reply to Qi Ge’s message, [My phone is out of power and turned off. Have you gone home?】

Qi Ge looked at the lit screen without taking his phone, forcing himself to finish reading the page. However, before Qi Ge finished reading, the doorbell rang.

A strange sense of comfort arose in Qi Ge’s heart. When he opened the door, he saw Xia Yize holding a handful of skewers, “I packed them for you. I wanted to ask you what you like to eat, but my phone’s battery is dead.”

“I’ve eaten.” Qi Ge said lightly, as if he didn’t care at all.

Xia Yize lowered his hand and Qi Ge asked casually: “You went to have barbecue, by yourself?”

Xia Yize shook his head and said: “I was with a few classmates. They came to make posters for New Year’s Day activities. I worked overtime to help them get it done. They had to invite me out for dinner, otherwise they would pay for the extra money. They said they couldn’t let me work overtime in vain. How could I give the boss an advantage by working overtime, so I went to have dinner with them.”

Xia Yize explained for a while, but he didn’t notice that Qi Ge’s cold expression had slowly melted away.

Xia Yize sighed, “This barbecue restaurant is quite delicious. I wanted to give it to you to try. I’ll just send you a message before I turn off my phone.”

Qi Ge raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xia Yize’s barbecue. Xia Yize cleverly raised the skewers and said, “It’s for you.”

Qi Ge hesitated for a moment, “Come to my house to eat.” Xia Yize immediately understood what Qi Ge, a germaphobe, was thinking, and opened the door.

The barbecue was placed on the table. Although Qi Ge had not eaten from such roadside stalls for a long time, it was still good to try it occasionally. The two of them had dinner face to face as usual. It was only a week, but Qi Ge seemed to have become a habit.

Xia Yize talked about what the students were chatting about, how interesting this event was, and how it also included a game session. His eyes were filled with anticipation when he spoke.

He leaned forward to confirm with Qi Ge, “You will go, I will go there early to save a place for you. You must eat dumplings during the Winter Solstice. You will be lucky.”

Qi Ge neatly placed the bamboo sticks on the paper towel on the side, “I promise you I will go.”

Xia Yize smiled and placed the skewers in front of Qi Ge, “Eat more.”

Although Qi Ge still had a lot of work that day, looking at Xia Yize’s smiling eyes, he still felt that two hours could still be squeezed out. At worst, he would have to work overtime in the past few days to catch up.

The next day, Xia Yize squeezed into the bus like a walking corpse with a sad face. The temperature had dropped in the past few days, so he surrounded himself tightly.

Xia Yize, who hadn’t woken up yet, mechanically walked forward with the crowd. He didn’t know which car would get on today.

When he was dazed, he heard the horn of the car next to him. Xia Yize didn’t turn his head. Irritated drivers were everywhere in the early morning.

Not long after, Xia Yize’s cell phone rang, it was Qi Ge.

Xia Yize opened his eyes hard and answered, “Good morning!”

Qi Ge’s tone was a little helpless: “Turn around.”

Xia Yize turned around blankly, and finally saw Qi Ge’s car on the roadside. Qi Ge slowly rolled down the window, and Qi Ge’s deep voice came from Xia Yize’s phone: “Come up.”

Xia Yize ran and jumped over, and finally no longer had to squeeze into the bus. At this time, he saw that Qi Ge was an angel descending from the sky, especially Qi Ge wearing a cashmere coat, which gave him a handsome halo above his head.

“Why did you come out today? I didn’t go for a morning jog.” Xia Yize sat in the passenger seat and took off his scarf, feeling that his breathing became easier.

“Go home and change clothes after running.” Qi Ge’s tone was as usual.

In contrast, Xia Yize was overly excited: “Can’t we change clothes at school? Then why don’t we go home and change clothes tomorrow?”

Seeing his excited look, Qi Ge slightly curled his lips: “It’s not convenient at school, but you can still take a shower when you get home. This will be the time from now on.”

Xia Yize tilted his head and said cutely: “Then can I walk with you every day?”

Qi Ge turned his head and glanced at him. He looked more and more like a little black sesame ball. He chuckled and hummed.

Xia Yize was dancing in the passenger seat, just to thank the Lord for his kindness.

Qi Ge let him fidget for a long time without stopping, tutting: “Sit down and don’t block the rearview mirror.”

Xia Yize calmed down and just smiled. He was still full of energy when he arrived at school today.

–

The winter solstice falls on a Friday. Xia Yize went over early after get off work, occupied two seats, and sent Qi Ge photos of the scene.

The cafeteria was decorated very festively, with balloons and warm-up music, and Xia Yize helped put up posters.

There are more and more people, and the surroundings are full of laughter. Only Xia Yize is guarding an empty seat. He has checked the time dozens of times. The host is adjusting the microphone in front: “The event is about to begin!”

Qi Ge not only didn’t come, but also didn’t reply to the message. Didn’t he say he would come?

When Xia Yize was about to call Qi Ge, Qi Ge replied, [Sorry, I have something to do and I can’t attend today’s event.】

Xia Yize lowered his shoulders in despair, [Then you get busy.】Added another sentence, 【I will wait for you to get off work tonight.】

Qi Ge replied after a long time, [No, I’m not at school.】

Xia Yize threw the phone aside angrily. He only felt noisy in the lively atmosphere.
