Chapter 168: Can’t I Like You?

The two got caught in a light rain, their hair and shoulders dampened. As soon as they returned to the dorm and closed the door, Lin Sheng urged him to change clothes and dry his hair.

Qu Minghui’s heart was itching, eager to know Lin Sheng’s secret. “Tell me first, and then I’ll go.”

Lin Sheng frowned, grabbed his arm without a word, and shoved a hairdryer into his hand. “Dry your hair, change your clothes, or don’t expect me to say a word.”

“Don’t be so forceful, it’s just a little wet,” Qu Minghui muttered, but still obediently turned on the hairdryer, drying his hair in no time.

Then he walked to the closet, opened the door, casually grabbed a t-shirt and changed. He glanced at Lin Sheng, who was shirtless, revealing his well-defined abs. He sighed, “I envy your figure. Once I lose weight successfully, my first priority is to build abs. If I have a good body and tan my skin a little, many female classmates should like me, right?”

Lin Sheng paused while putting on his clothes, then quickly put on a black tank top. “You already look great now, losing more weight would make you too thin.”

Qu Minghui lifted the hem of his shirt and glanced down, his voice muffled. “It’s far inferior to yours, my figure isn’t manly at all.”

Lin Sheng lowered his eyes to his pale abdomen, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he looked away. “You don’t necessarily need muscles for someone to like you.”

Qu Minghui plopped down on the bed, staring at him expectantly. “But no girl has ever confessed to me.”

“Are you that eager to be in a relationship?” Lin Sheng stepped towards him, looking down at him.

“Bro, I’ve been single for 19 years, is it wrong to want a relationship?” Qu Minghui retorted, “Didn’t you want one before too?”

“Before was before, now is now. After realizing my feelings, I lost that thought. Now, I only want to be with one person.” Lin Sheng’s gaze remained fixed on his face, growing hotter and hotter.

Faintly sensing that the atmosphere was off, Qu Minghui scooted back, leaning against the wall, bending one leg. “Sure enough, you have someone you like. Who is it? Someone in our class? Or someone in our school? Or someone outside?”

Lin Sheng suddenly sat on his bed, still silently staring at him.

Qu Minghui felt uncomfortable all over from his gaze, raised his hand and touched his nose. “I’m asking you a question! You’re just staring at me, how am I supposed to know the answer?”

Lin Sheng turned his head. “Don’t you know the answer?”

Qu Minghui couldn’t guess the answer, and was getting annoyed, he got up and wrapped his arms around his neck, shaking him violently. “Your mouth is really asking for a beating, can’t you just say it?!”

Lin Sheng almost threw up from being shaken, raised his hand to grab his wrist, and forcefully pulled his hand away.

“You’re making me guess, guess what?! Don’t tell me you like me, you have a crush on me, so you can’t say it?” Qu Minghui deliberately wanted to make him uncomfortable.

He thought Lin Sheng would get angry and refute him like last time, but he didn’t. He was still calm, but behind that calmness was a shocking truth for Qu Minghui.

Lin Sheng calmly said, “Is it wrong? Can’t I like you?”

Qu Minghui: …

Lin Sheng was still holding his wrist, his grip tightening, his eyes fixed on Qu Minghui, continuing to calmly say, “Are you satisfied hearing this answer?”

Qu Minghui burst out laughing, his shoulders shaking non-stop. “Oh my god, this joke is good, you learned from me? You used to get so angry when I joked with you like this, but now you have no reaction at all.”

“I’m not joking.” Lin Sheng let go of his hand, stood up, turned his back to him, his voice deepening.

Qu Minghui closed his mouth, stopped laughing. “You don’t want to say it, forget it, I won’t force you. You’ve changed, become more mature, *pfft*… hahaha.”

In the end, he couldn’t help but laugh.

Lin Sheng turned around, a hint of anger rising in his eyes. “I’m telling you the truth, and you still don’t believe me. Do I have to kiss you for you to believe me?!”

Qu Minghui laughed even louder, and couldn’t help patting the bed. “Kiss? I don’t believe you can kiss! We both are straight men, don’t force yourself… ah…”

His body suddenly fell backwards, he was pinned on the bed by Lin Sheng. Before he could react, his lips were blocked, and a hot tongue wrapped around his.

He widened his eyes, dumbly looking at Lin Sheng who was close at hand, his mind instantly exploded, a stampede of alpacas running through his head.

So, Lin Sheng really has a crush on him?

Lin Sheng is gay?

But he used to act straighter than him, even watched movies with him, how could he suddenly change?

Thinking about watching movies together, he couldn’t help but think more. Every time they watched, they would get excited, and inevitably helped each other out.

Lin Sheng did it on purpose, deliberately wanted to…

The feeling of suffocation suddenly disappeared. He dazedly looked at Lin Sheng above him, panting and foolishly said, “No wonder you were so eager to help me, so you had designs on me all along.”

Lin Sheng lowered his eyes, looked at his flushed face, and said in a hoarse voice, “I kissed you, shouldn’t you give me a punch right now?”

Qu Minghui finally came back to his senses, pushed him away abruptly, got out of bed, rushed into the bathroom and closed the door, locking it from the inside.

He leaned against the door, his legs starting to tremble. The stimulation from the French kiss made him unable to think too much, his heart beating wildly. He squatted down, hugged his head and muttered, “It’s over, it’s over, Lin Sheng has mutated too, am I the only straight man in our 606?!”

Lin Sheng walked to the bathroom door and gently knocked. “You probably don’t want to see me, I should leave the dorm first.”

Qu Minghui didn’t say anything, pricking up his ears to listen to the sounds outside, until he heard the sound of the door opening and closing, then he stood up, opened the bathroom door and walked out.

Lin Sheng had indeed left. He bit his lip, went to the mirror on the sink and carefully examined his mouth.

Dog-chewed-like kissing skills, a hundred percent first kiss.

Their first kiss was gone just like that.

Stimulated away by his joke.

“Ugh, so annoying.” He returned to the bed, lay down on his back, rolled around on it restlessly before finally calming down.

“No wonder he was angry, he was just jealous of the goddess.”

“He frowned when he saw me trying to lose weight, afraid that I would get snatched away by girls after losing weight?”

“What a secretive man.”

He stayed in the dorm until noon, Lin Sheng came back again, holding takeout in his hand.

Qu Minghui’s face was tense, his eyes following his every move, until he put the takeout on his desk, then he said in a muffled voice, “Lin Sheng, we are brothers for life.”

Lin Sheng’s mouth twitched, he said self-deprecatingly, “Who wants to be your brother for life?”

“Did something stimulate you to make you have thoughts about me?” Qu Minghui swallowed, and asked quietly.

Lin Sheng raised his chin and pointed to the takeout on the desk. “Are you curious? Eat your food first, I’ll tell you after you finish.”

Qu Minghui reluctantly walked over, sat down in the chair, opened the takeout, it was all his favorite dishes.

He picked up a piece of green vegetable and ate it, thinking to himself: How did I not notice these small details before?
