Coincidence

    Coincidence

    “Convenient, where are you going? I’ll take you.”

    The “Big Frog’s” dialect sounded even more awkward than before. Bai Yao had to ask twice to understand what he meant.

    Bai Yao glanced at the spilled takeout on the ground, “I can only go back to the dorm first. It’s really… too cold outside.”

    He saw a cleaning lady from the school walking this way. He guessed that the security guard in the guardhouse must have seen the takeout spilling, so he called her over. He felt really sorry.

    “Okay, I’ll take you back to the dorm.”

    “…?!”

    The “Big Frog” walked directly up to Bai Yao, hoisted him up onto his shoulder; he also managed to support Bai Yao’s left leg, perfectly avoiding the wound on his right leg.

    “Hold on tight.”

    He carried Bai Yao around the puddle of soup and water on the ground, striding towards the campus.

    “No, dude, you don’t have to do this… actually, you can just help me. Only one of my legs is injured, the other one is fine.”

    As Bai Yao spoke, he subconsciously wrapped his arms around the frog’s head to avoid falling, and smiled awkwardly.

    He thought to himself, this person is so direct, and he can actually carry me up so easily. Could I have seen this person on the playground when I was working out before?

    The “Big Frog” didn’t reply, but instead quickened his pace, carrying Bai Yao towards the men’s dormitory.

    As they passed through the square in front of the South Gate, there were gradually more students around.

    Bai Yao thought for a while, and decided not to ask this kind “Big Frog” classmate to put him down. Instead, he supported himself on his shoulders, craning his neck to look around – he actually started to hope that he could run into Liu Yucheng again at this moment.

    So what if you go out to rent a room? Look, someone is carrying your ex back to the dorm!

    He wondered what Liu Yucheng’s reaction would be if he saw this scene.

    Bai Yao thought smugly to himself, as he passed the fork in the road leading directly to the school cafeteria, he saw several “Big Frogs” standing near the cafeteria, some red and some green.

    When he went to pick up his takeout, he noticed that those people wearing frog outfits seemed to be members of some club, doing volunteer work near the cafeteria.

    “Is that your club?” Bai Yao pointed to the people in the distance and asked, “What club are you guys, are you recruiting?”

    Big Frog: “…”

    This kind classmate didn’t answer. Bai Yao thought he might be too tired to speak after carrying him all the way, so he didn’t continue talking to him.

    He should be able to find out later in the Goose Group, which club is holding an event today, and who is so kind to carry him, an injured person, back to the dorm.

    On the way, they also encountered several classmates that Bai Yao knew.

    Like a showoff, Bai Yao raised his head and greeted them enthusiastically, while also not forgetting to pull up the mask on his face, so they wouldn’t see the wound on his face.

    “Hi, how are you!”

    “Bai Yao? Haha, you guys… what kind of play is this?”

    “Who is this frog, can we take a look?”

    The “Big Frog” hugged Bai Yao’s left leg with one hand and covered the opening of the hood with the other, hurriedly lowering his head.

    “He’s a new friend I just met.” Bai Yao wrapped one arm around the frog’s head and waved to them, “We have something to do, we’ll go back to the dorm first, see you later!”

    “Okay, see you later!”

    There was only the last stretch of road left to the men’s dormitory.

    “Will you feel uncomfortable if I keep holding you like this?”

    Bai Yao asked him in a low voice, raising his arm to try to find another place to hold on; but after looking around, he either had to grab the “Big Frog” classmate’s hand directly, or hug his neck, there were no other options.

    The moment he re-wrapped his arms around his neck, Bai Yao suddenly felt a sense of stiffness.

    This feeling of stiffness was a little familiar.

    Before, as long as he hooked his arm around Liu Yucheng’s neck, even just a friendly arm around the shoulder, Liu Yucheng would become stiff all over, extremely unnatural.

    “Don’t move.”

    The “Big Frog” classmate said in dialect, “Almost there.”

    Bai Yao quickly nodded: “Oh, okay.”

    Entering the men’s dormitory building, the “Big Frog” classmate carried Bai Yao all the way up to the third floor of the dormitory.

    At the corner of the stairs on the third floor, he finally asked, “I forgot to ask you. Which dorm do you live in?”

    Bai Yao replied, “319.”

    “Good, I thought I had gone too far,” he said.

    Bai Yao didn’t reply.

    After entering the 319 dormitory, the “Big Frog” classmate very kindly put Bai Yao down, and pulled out a chair placed next to a certain desk, helping him to sit down.

    “You can leave me here, thank you.”

    The smile on Bai Yao’s face was gone, looking at the silly frog’s head, he asked softly, “Can you tell me your name?”

    Seeing that the “Big Frog” didn’t answer, Bai Yao simply took off his mask, and then bent down, rolling up the right trouser leg little by little, while showing him the wounds on his face and leg.

    “Look, I didn’t lie to you, thank you for bringing me back.”

    The “Big Frog” stared at his face for a few seconds, picked up the medicine from the bag on the table and squatted down in front of Bai Yao, seeming to want to help him apply the medicine.

    But Bai Yao didn’t give him a chance.

    Taking advantage of his limited vision now, Bai Yao reached out and took off his frog headgear.

    “You didn’t even ask which desk is mine; how do you know that I can use the medicine on this desk?”

    Bai Yao’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, looking at the slightly curly-haired boy in front of him. He didn’t know where the black backpack he saw earlier had gone, but Bai Yao didn’t care about that.

    “Liu Yucheng, I really didn’t expect you to be such a player.” He threw the headgear back to Liu Yucheng expressionlessly, “Thank you very much for today, you can go now.”

    Liu Yucheng sighed softly, then reached out and took off his mask and windbreaker hat.

    “What about your lunch?” He no longer spoke in dialect like he had been doing, and his voice returned to normal.

    “None of your business.”

    “The clothes, I borrowed them from that club.” Liu Yucheng was still squatting on the ground, not getting up, “Your walking posture is not normal, and you won’t let me bother you, so I came up with this idea.”

    “I didn’t ask, but now you’re so talkative?”

    Bai Yao frowned, “The wound on my leg is none of your business either.”

    So he had noticed everything.

    But since Liu Yucheng already has a new love, and they’ve already slept together last night, he has to drive Liu Yucheng out of the 319 dormitory today no matter what.

    “Liu Yucheng, you leave now.”

    Bai Yao said seriously, “I don’t want the person I like now to misunderstand that I’m still hung up on my ex-boyfriend.”

    Peach Milk, I’m so sorry! Disciple is in trouble, please lend your name and innocence to help! Disciple thanks Master in advance for his great kindness and virtue!!!

    Liu Yucheng: “?”

    “You’ve already fallen for someone else??”

    “Yes, I have.”

    Bai Yao’s scalp was tingling with guilt, but he still said, “We’ve already broken up, it’s been half a month, right? Is it strange that I’ve fallen for someone else during this time?”

    Anyway, he and Liu Yucheng hadn’t been together for very long.

    Liu Yucheng lowered his eyes, holding the bottle of medicine in his hand, looking a little at a loss. Looking at his pitiful, aggrieved appearance, Bai Yao felt a little soft-hearted.

    He had the same expression on the night they got together. It rained heavily that day, and Bai Yao was trapped in a fast food restaurant near the school; as soon as he walked out of the fast food restaurant, he saw Liu Yucheng squatting alone under the eaves outside the fast food restaurant, his hair and clothes soaked.

    His face always looked very pale, looking like a pitiful little animal.

    But… come to think of it, this person already has a new love, and they’ve already slept together last night, so what’s he pretending to be sentimental in front of him now?

    “You don’t believe me?”

    Bai Yao took out his phone, and in front of him, clicked into Peach Milk’s WeChat, and sent him a message: My ex is here again, help me.

    The next second, the phone in Liu Yucheng’s pants pocket buzzed twice.

    Liu Yucheng: “…”

    Could it be such a coincidence.

    Bai Yao: “?”

    He was replying to Peach Milk, so why did Liu Yucheng’s phone vibrate??

    Damn, the so-called [Peach Milk], doesn’t that refer to the one sold in their school cafeteria? Wait, Peach Milk is also the CV Yuan Shuang online, Liu Yucheng is secretly doing CV work? He is Yuan Shuang??

    How is this possible?

    Seeing Liu Yucheng standing there silently, not taking out his phone to check the message, Bai Yao reached out directly, “Give me the phone.”

    Liu Yucheng: “…”

    “Give it to me!”

    Liu Yucheng pointed to the frog outfit on his body – the phone was in his pants pocket, and he had to take off the frog outfit to get it.

    “It’s okay, come on, I’ll help you take it off.”

    Bai Yao stood up, supporting himself on the table, and said with a cold face, “Anyway, it’s not the first time I’ve helped you take it off, the situation is special now, your new love should be able to understand.”

    Liu Yucheng was confused, what new love?

    “Turn around, I’ll help you pull the zipper.”

    The frog outfit was stripped off by Bai Yao extremely roughly. Liu Yucheng took out his phone and handed it to Bai Yao.

    His phone password hadn’t changed, it was still 0329.

    “You’re really something, remember to change the password back quickly, don’t use my birthday.”

    Bai Yao’s face became even uglier, “If your new love comes to the door and says we’re still hung up on each other, it’s almost the end of the semester, I don’t want to fight anymore.”

    “I don’t have a new love.”

    Liu Yucheng stared greedily at Bai Yao’s eyes. But this kind of greed was not very obvious on his face, at least not obvious enough for Bai Yao to see.

    Bai Yao didn’t reply, and clicked into Liu Yucheng’s WeChat.

    The WeChat ID was still the one Bai Yao knew before, black avatar, the WeChat name was a comma. Although he had always known his phone password, this was the first time Bai Yao had looked at his WeChat.

    There was a large row of red message dots in his WeChat list, and the bubbles at the bottom showed that there were 999+ unread messages, most of which were junk messages.

    The only one pinned to the top was still Bai Yao’s cat head avatar, although the owner of this cat head avatar had unilaterally deleted him. Bai Yao didn’t know if he hadn’t noticed, or if he couldn’t bear to part with the chat history that was chilling to look at.

    And the vibration just now was an advertisement sent by a real estate salesperson.

    Bai Yao continued to flip through his chat list and the currently logged-in WeChat account.

    He didn’t click into anyone’s chat history, just to confirm that only this one account had been logged in on the current device, then he returned the phone to Liu Yucheng.

    “You’re also an amazing person. So many red message dots, all 999+, how can you bear not to open them?”

    Not seeing what he wanted to see, Bai Yao was a little unwilling, so he could only tease him like this.

    “I’m not like you, I don’t have a new love,” Liu Yucheng suddenly said.

    Bai Yao: “…”

    “I really wasn’t in the dormitory last night, because I had other things to do. I have to work, you know that.”

    Liu Yucheng picked up the bottle of medicine, stared into Bai Yao’s eyes, and said seriously, “If your wound isn’t treated, you might really have to have it amputated.”

    Bai Yao, who was intimidated by him: “…”

    How did he suddenly become the disadvantaged party, why did things develop like this?!
