    Chapter 12 The intention is clear

    When Lu Jin returned to the dormitory, the lights in the dormitory were dazzling, and the sound of keyboard tapping and game sound effects came one after another. Yu Yifan was wearing headphones, yelling at the screen, immersed in the fierce team battle.

    “Brother Jin, get in quickly! I’m waiting for you to carry the whole audience!” Yu Yifan didn’t even look back, his fingers were still operating rapidly on the keyboard, and the words “Kill” kept popping up on the screen.

    Lu Jin was still carrying the cold air from outside, and his silver hair was a little messy by the evening wind.

    He did not tease Yu Yifan as usual, but walked silently to his desk and sat down. He casually put his coat on the back of the chair and said in a faint voice: “No, I’m a little annoyed.”

    “What?”

    Yu Yifan seemed to have been pressed on the pause button, and suddenly took off his headphones, not caring about the game anymore.

    A “failure” message quickly popped up on the screen, but he had no intention of paying attention to it at the moment, “What’s wrong with you?”

    Yu Yifan’s face was filled with confusion.

    “I like Xie Shuhan.”

    Lu Jin’s voice was not loud, but it was like a thunder that exploded in the quiet dormitory.

    The smile on Yu Yifan’s face froze instantly, and he was stunned. His mouth was opened wide enough to fit an egg.

    He wondered if he had heard wrongly, or if Lu Jin had gone out to drink too much tonight and was talking nonsense.

    “Brother Jin, you…have you been drinking? Why are you talking nonsense?” He asked tentatively, his eyes full of disbelief.

    Lu Jin raised his eyes to look at him. His eyes were clear and clear, without any confusion after being drunk. His tone was firm: “I drank a little, but what I said was not nonsense. I know what I am talking about.”

    His gaze was calm, without any dodge, and his determination made Yu Yifan have to believe that what he said was true.

    Yu Yifan swallowed, still feeling a little unbelievable, and lowered his voice and emphasized: “Xie Shuhan is a man!”

    In his understanding, although Lu Jin has a flamboyant personality, he has always been surrounded by girls and has never shown any special affection for the same sex.

    Xie Shuhan is even more famous for being a cool academic leader in the school. The two of them have completely different personalities and social circles. It is impossible for them to get together no matter how they look at it.

    “I know.” Lu Jin nodded, with a faint smile on his face. It was a kind of relief from the heart after solving the long-term confusion.

    “I don’t know why. Just now, Yun Chuchu wanted to kiss me. The moment he pushed Yun Chuchu away, I suddenly thought of Xie Shuhan. I used to not believe in love at first sight and thought those were plots in novels, but now, I believe it.”

    His thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the scene when he first met Xie Shuhan.

    At that moment, his heartbeat inexplicably skipped a beat, but he didn’t care at the time, just thinking that the other person was good-looking.

    It wasn’t until the subsequent law classes, interactions in the infirmary, the writing on the notebook, the chance encounter in the mall, and tonight’s confrontation in the corridor, when those fragmented memories were connected in series, that he realized that Xie Shuhan had left traces in his heart from the first sight.

    “But…” Yu Yifan frowned, with worry in his tone, “You like this person, do they like you? That’s Xie Shuhan! It’s not like you don’t know what kind of character he is. He is as cold as ice, and he is cold to everyone. I have never heard of him being attracted to anyone, let alone you are a man.”

    It’s not that he doesn’t support Lu Jin, he just thinks this relationship is too unrealistic.

    Xie Shuhan is like a flower on the high mountains, out of reach. You can imagine how difficult it is to pick this flower.

    When Lu Jin heard this, the smile on his face faded a little, and a trace of uncertainty flashed across his eyes, but he soon regained his composure.

    He has never been a person who is intimidated by difficulties. Now that he has made his mind clear, he will not give up easily.

    “I don’t know.” He said frankly, “But there is no absolute answer to emotional matters. Just let nature take its course. As for the outcome, I won’t force it.”

    After saying that, he leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh of relief.

    Ever since he realized that he liked Xie Shuhan, the long-suppressed boredom in his heart had completely dissipated, replaced by an unprecedented sense of relaxation and determination.

    He has always followed his heart, then and now.

    Yu Yifan saw the determination on Lu Jin’s face and knew that he had made up his mind.

    Although he felt that this relationship had a bumpy road ahead, as a good brother, he still chose to support Lu Jin.

    “Okay,” he patted Lu Jin on the shoulder, “Since you have thought it through, I will support you. But Xie Shuhan is not easy to deal with, so you have to be prepared for a protracted war. If you need my help, please speak up at any time.”

    “Okay.” Lu Jin smiled, and the light rekindled in his eyes.

    The sound effects of the game in the dormitory started playing again. Yu Yifan put on his headphones again, but he lost his previous interest. He was still digesting the big news that Lu Jin liked Xie Shuhan.

    Lu Jin sat at the desk and took out his mobile phone.

    The fingertips stayed on the screen for a long time and clicked on the chat box.

    The chat history is still from a few days ago, and he only replied with the word “good”.

    He looked at the screen and thought of Xie Shuhan’s cold face, the redness at the end of his eyes, and the faint red mark on his wrist.
