“Wuuuuuu——!!!!”

“Holy crap—!”

“Be gentle, ahhh!”

Bai Yao clenched the towel in his mouth, his entire body twisted in pain. His hands gripped the table, wishing he could tear the wooden surface into pieces.

After a few minutes of wailing like a ghost, Bai Yao looked down and noticed that Liu Yucheng, who was squatting on the floor, had the tips of his ears turning red.

Considering that Liu Yucheng was taking care of him, Bai Yao resisted the urge to kick him away and mumbled, “Damn it, I’m in so much pain, and you’re getting turned on? Are you a pervert, you bastard!?”

Liu Yucheng: “…Sorry.”

“Are you done yet? It hurts like hell.”

“Almost.”

Liu Yucheng changed the disinfected cotton swabs four times before finally completing the disinfection process. “Do you have any other medicine?”

“Yeah, isn’t there some prescribed by the hospital? Just apply it. Thanks.”

After a few seconds of silence, Liu Yucheng said, “I already looked at that medicine. It’ll hurt a lot if you apply it.”

He knew that Bai Yao was actually very afraid of pain, but he liked to act tough sometimes.

Bai Yao also wanted to continue being stubborn, but he really couldn’t take it anymore, so he asked Liu Yucheng, “Do you have any good suggestions?”

If he dared to take this opportunity to say something like, “Let’s go live somewhere else, get a room, and I’ll take care of you,” Bai Yao planned to kick him away immediately.

“I have medicine that’s quite effective and doesn’t hurt as much. But I don’t know if you can use it.”

Liu Yucheng hesitated, “I’m afraid you’re allergic.”

…

A few minutes later, Liu Yucheng brought the medicine from the dorm to Bai Yao.

Bai Yao recognized the medicine box as soon as he saw it. It was the kind of external medicine he had used when he was a child. It felt cool when applied to the wound, and it did feel less painful.

Liu Yucheng also helped him treat the scratches on his face and put on a bandage.

“You’re quite knowledgeable,”

Bai Yao exclaimed, “If you hadn’t brought it today, I would have forgotten that I used this kind of medicine when I was a kid.”

“Yeah.”

Liu Yucheng lowered his head, dabbing the medicine on his wound little by little with a cotton swab, “This kind of medicine is cheap and heals quickly.”

“But you don’t usually get into fights, do you?”

Bai Yao asked curiously, “I can understand having cold medicine, but how do you have this kind of external medicine?”

“Just a habit,” Liu Yucheng said quietly, “I used to get beaten a lot when I was a kid.”

“By your family?”

“Yeah.”

Bai Yao didn’t ask any further.

A pitiful, thin, pale boy gradually emerged in his mind.

He knew that the little boy was both himself and possibly Liu Yucheng.

Although Liu Yucheng was quite tall, he was on the skinny side, and his skin was a somewhat sickly pale.

Judging from his personality, Bai Yao found it hard to imagine him being mischievous as a child, and he didn’t know what he had experienced.

“Thank you for today.”

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Yao asked, “Have you had lunch?”

“No.”

“I don’t like owing people favors.”

Bai Yao opened the food delivery app, “I haven’t eaten either, so I’ll treat you to lunch. Order whatever you want—but only for today.”

He might also have to trouble Liu Yucheng to go to the South Gate to pick up the delivery again.

Coincidentally, Peach Milk replied to Bai Yao’s message while Liu Yucheng was out getting the food.

Peach Milk: Sorry, I was busy just now. I just saw the message.

Peach Milk: How do you want me to help you?

Responding neither earlier nor later, but just when Liu Yucheng was acting alone. This couldn’t be thought about too deeply. Once the floodgates were opened, the more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.

He had complained about Liu Yucheng to Peach Milk quite a bit; if they were the same person, then this could rank among the top three most embarrassing events in Bai Yao’s life.

Bai Yao: He went out with his new love last night and got a room, and students witnessed it, but he still won’t admit it. Can you help me think of a way to expose him?

If Peach Milk was Liu Yucheng himself, he might intentionally or unintentionally speak up for Liu Yucheng and try to clear his name.

Peach Milk: Hmm.

Peach Milk: He went out and got a room, does it matter to you?

Bai Yao: It’s none of my business…

Peach Milk: Then does it matter to you?

He asked again.

Regardless of whether he was Liu Yucheng or not, Bai Yao felt like he had been put in check.

Of course, he didn’t care about Liu Yucheng going out and getting a room; but if he didn’t care, why did he have to expose him? Shouldn’t he just let him do whatever he wanted?

Bai Yao hadn’t figured out how to reply by the time Liu Yucheng returned with the food.

While Liu Yucheng was unpacking the food on the table, Bai Yao found [Peach Milk]’s phone number and dialed it.

He figured that if Peach Milk was really Liu Yucheng, his phone should also be a dual-SIM phone; since he was with him right now, he must have switched the SIM card.

Then Peach Milk’s out-of-town number should be unreachable, with a message like “Temporarily unable to connect.”

However, the phone rang with a “beep—beep—beep” waiting tone. After two more rings, Peach Milk might actually answer the phone and ask him, “Why are you calling me suddenly? Do you miss me?”

Bai Yao quickly hung up the phone.

“You, do you have two phones?” he asked tentatively.

Liu Yucheng sighed, “I’m poor, I don’t have that kind of money.”

This reason was very convincing.

Bai Yao knew that Liu Yucheng usually lived frugally; so then him going out and getting a room last night… no, then he shouldn’t have spent money to buy a five-figure game account, right?

Even if he was buying a game account, there should have been many more economical choices than [Why Bother Caring] at the time; he didn’t need to specifically buy such an expensive one with a limited-edition mount…

The impression Peach Milk gave wasn’t very introverted, at most he just didn’t pay attention to the random players he teamed up with; how could he be the same person as Liu Yucheng, who basically had no social life?

Bai Yao finally felt relieved—they shouldn’t be the same person, he was just overthinking things.

Liu Yucheng handed the roasted goose, shrimp fried rice, and oolong set meal from the takeout bag to Bai Yao.

If Bai Yao asked to check his phone now, he would probably find that his phone was already on silent; and there was also a missed call from him on the phone.

However, Liu Yucheng observed Bai Yao’s expression and guessed that the crisis should have been averted.

Bai Yao looked at the food he had ordered, most of which they had eaten together before, or that he had bought in front of Liu Yucheng.

It seemed that he wasn’t completely unaware of his preferences, and ordering this way wouldn’t result in every item being a bad choice. Bai Yao appreciated this thoughtfulness.

“Is there anything else?” Bai Yao didn’t touch the fried rice, asking him this way.

“Fried dumplings from the back alley of the school.”

Liu Yucheng also pushed the fried dumplings in front of Bai Yao, and finally took out his own egg and tomato fried rice.

Bai Yao opened his portion of rice and took a look, then handed his shrimp fried rice to Liu Yucheng, swapping it for his egg and tomato fried rice.

Liu Yucheng was stunned for a full three seconds after seeing his action, and then said, “You’re allergic to shrimp.”

He had originally wanted Bai Yao to eat more shrimp to nourish himself.

“Yeah, congratulations, you found out.”

Bai Yao said indifferently, “I ordered shrimp fried rice once before, but it was for my roommate.”

“I can’t eat any seafood, it’ll send me to the hospital; I won’t die from milk and dairy products, but my stomach will be uncomfortable, so I usually don’t touch them. Also…”

Halfway through his sentence, he noticed that Liu Yucheng was staring at him intently.

“Stop staring, eat.”

Bai Yao pointed to the shrimp fried rice, “You shouldn’t be allergic to this, right? Don’t waste food.”

“Yeah.” Liu Yucheng asked softly, “Is there anything else?”

It seemed he hadn’t told [Peach Milk/Yuan Shuang] the truth.

And Peach Milk was just a very sweet drink after all, and probably didn’t contain milk; or rather, the amount of milk in it didn’t make Bai Yao feel uncomfortable after drinking it.

There was a box of milk in the tonics he bought for Bai Yao, which was terrible.

“Of course, there is.” Bai Yao smiled, “I’ll tell you after you finish eating.”

Liu Yucheng obediently picked up his spoon and ate a layer of fried rice in a few big bites, it seemed he really wanted to know.

“Don’t eat so fast, chew slowly.”

“…Yeah.”

The two of them ate a peaceful lunch together like they hadn’t broken up, and also watched a few episodes of anime together.

After lunch, Bai Yao started thinking about his homework, which was due next week. But now the homework was basically done on a laptop; if he didn’t do it in bed, he would be letting the bed down.

“You can go back now.”

Bai Yao wiped his mouth and thanked him again, “Today, uh, thank you, and thank you for the medicine.”

Liu Yucheng looked up at Bai Yao’s bed, the Shin-chan pattern was still on the bed curtains.

“Do you want to lie on the bed? I’ll lift you up.”

Bai Yao: “…”

Did he want to stay and not leave? There were only two of them in the dorm now, and Liu Yucheng’s courage had grown.

“I’m not getting on the bed.”

Bai Yao shook his head, “I’m also allergic to several kinds of beans, and some specific mushrooms. You already know, now you can go back, I want to do my homework.”

Liu Yucheng approached him, wiping the roasted goose sauce that Bai Yao hadn’t wiped off the corner of his mouth with his thumb, and asked seriously, “Then, are you allergic to my mushroom?”

He didn’t expect him to suddenly ask this kind of outrageous question, which would only appear in bed before.

Bai Yao instantly turned red, and said angrily: “I warn you, we have already broken up! In broad daylight, don’t come here and act crazy with me!”

The distance between the two was extremely ambiguous. But Bai Yao knew that as long as they left this dorm room, without the frog suit, if he dared to walk side by side with him, Bai Yao would consider him awesome.

Liu Yucheng’s fingertips lightly brushed across the back of Bai Yao’s neck, and his breathing gradually became heavier, “Bai Yao, I’m sorry…”

Bai Yao took a deep breath and took half a step back with a limp—his neck was very sensitive, he was too familiar with this set of movements of Liu Yucheng.

It’s just that this hand didn’t know who it had touched last night, who it had pleased. Bai Yao pushed him away and roared: “Get out!”

“Don’t touch me with your dirty hands, I’m disgusted!”

“Get out of here now!!”

Liu Yucheng was taken aback and stared blankly at his reddened eyes.

The sentence that he had thought of in advance in order to continue staying in the 319 dormitory with him, “What about your dinner,” he could no longer say it now.

That originally sunny and cheerful boy had been angered into this appearance by himself, which had already violated his original intention.

“I”…”

Liu Yucheng retracted his hand, hesitated for a long time, and only managed to squeeze out a sentence: “I’m really sorry.”

“Don’t apologize to me, I’m tired of hearing ‘sorry, sorry’! If you don’t get out, I’ll beat you!”

Bai Yao said irritably: “Stay away from me in the future, and keep a distance of more than ten meters from me! Even if I die, it has nothing to do with you!!”

Liu Yucheng’s eyes were also red.

Before leaving the 319 dormitory, he originally wanted to say to Bai Yao again, “I have never done anything to betray you, and I don’t have a new love.”

But when he thought of Bai Yao’s master “Peach Milk,” Liu Yucheng finally didn’t say anything and silently turned around and left.

After he left, Bai Yao’s expression lost control for a moment, but he quickly suppressed the imminent emotions.

Don’t be fooled by him, Bai Yao kept telling himself in his heart, he already has a new love, even if he doesn’t, even if the two reconcile, it will only be a repeat of the same mistakes.

Liu Yucheng was just overcome with desire.

Bai Yao felt like he was about to explode, and directly opened Wechat and sent a message to Peach Milk: Can you do voice chat tonight? I want to talk to you.

Peach Milk replied to him quickly: Don’t care about your ex anymore?

Bai Yao understood what he meant.

The fact that he hadn’t denied it just now was tantamount to admitting it—yes, I do care about him getting a room.

Bai Yao: Why don’t you ask me, why did I call you just now?

Peach Milk: Well, I saw the missed call. Why did you call me?

Bai Yao: Because I was confirming whether you and him are the same person.

Peach Milk: But I was on voice chat with you all night… After you fell asleep, I even heard you talking in your sleep.
