Chapter 131 No, buddy, you

“The love I gave you was written before the Common Era, buried deep in the Mesopotamian plain.”

Jiang Nian finished washing up, humming a song as he walked out of the bathroom, shaking his head and drying the water with a towel. He glanced down at his phone, raising an eyebrow.

“Five minutes to wash my hair and shower, I’m really amazing.”

After blow-drying his hair, he returned to his room and lay on the bed, receiving a picture from Lin Dong.

“【Wontons】 (Grinning).”

Jiang Nian had a deadpan expression, thinking, what’s wrong with this Lin Dong? Sending this kind of thing for a late-night snack, he thought it was another picture of a beauty bathing; he overestimated him.

“???”

Lin Dong replied at lightning speed, “Guess whose wontons these are? (Sunglasses)”

Jiang Nian: “The cafeteria auntie wrapped them for you with her mouth.”

In the darkened dorm room, Lin Dong’s smile instantly froze.

Next time, he’d learn his lesson; never chat with Jiang Nian while eating.

Damn it, one sentence killed his appetite. The auntie who sells wontons is over fifty, wrapping them with her mouth—

Ugh, can’t think about it anymore, the image is already there.

“No, Yang.” He typed one character, then stopped abruptly, cautiously glancing around and asking, “Where did Qiming go?”

Huang Cailang, showering naked on the balcony, turned and said,

“I just saw him, he went up to the rooftop.”

Lin Dong glanced over, his gaze unconsciously drawn to the ‘bird’s nest.’ He immediately looked pained. These guys are deliberately trying to stop him from enjoying his late-night snack, aren’t they!

“Get lost, get lost! Turn around, you bastard!”

“Oh, oh.” Huang Cailang turned around, facing the window while showering, leaving his roommates with a bare back. “Dong Ge, you can’t blame me.”

“It takes too long to queue for the toilet to shower. I’m so sleepy today, I want to go to bed early.”

Lin Dong’s expression was complex, showing Yang Mi’s signature look of disgust.

“Aren’t you afraid the people opposite will see?”

“What’s there to be afraid of? It’s so far away, and our dorm doesn’t have lights on.” Huang Cailang splashed water with his towel as he showered. “Besides, the wall blocks the lower part.”

Lin Dong: “.”

He always felt his roommates were weirdos but couldn’t find proof.

He thought for a moment, then lowered his head and continued to send messages to Jiang Nian, showing off.

“Yang Qiming gave them to me. He originally wanted to use them to win over his girlfriend. But his girlfriend ignored him and blocked him, so they ended up with me.”

Half a minute later, Jiang Nian replied.

“Yang Qiming might be playing a very new kind of gay fishing method. Actually, he didn’t buy them for his girlfriend at all. Is there a possibility…”

Looking at that last line of message and the ellipses that followed, Lin Dong’s cold sweat instantly broke out.

He gulped and replied tremblingly,

“Nian Ge, you can’t just say things like that.”

The message was sent, but Lin Dong’s heart was not calm. It would have been fine if Jiang Nian hadn’t said anything, but once he did, Lin Dong couldn’t stay calm, especially since he had just eaten Yang Qiming’s rice rolls that morning.

Is Yang Qiming’s girlfriend some kind of Southern Town Female Dragon?

You have to refuse three times before you can accept, right?

Jiang Nian’s message popped up again, “You can go ask him, he’ll definitely say, ‘Silly, these were prepared for you!’”

Lin Dong looked at the wontons, suddenly feeling uneasy.

There was indeed a slight oddness. Yang Qiming bought two portions in the morning, so giving one to him was reasonable. But how to explain the evening? His girlfriend refused them.

Couldn’t Yang Qiming eat them himself? He had never heard of a high school boy not eating late-night snacks, needing to lose weight.

“Nian Ge, stop joking.”

After sending the message, Jiang Nian only replied with a sly smile emoji.

Lin Dong couldn’t sit still. His rationality told him that Jiang Nian was just purely annoyed that he was eating a late-night snack and deliberately pulled this stunt, but… what if?

Thinking of this, he no longer had the mood to eat the wontons.

Brother Jie was also quite generous when giving snacks to Ah Wei.

He and Yang Qiming were in the same dorm, sleeping in the same room every day. It was better to confirm, just in case he woke up in the middle of the night one day.

Infighting among roommates, how terrifying.

Then it would truly be inescapable.

Lin Dong thought for a moment and sent a message to Yang Qiming.

“Brother, where are you?”

The message was sent, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea.

About three minutes later, Yang Qiming replied.

“Rooftop.”

Lin Dong breathed a sigh of relief. In those three minutes, he had already figured it out. Jiang Nian was indeed rotten, making up things, purely jealous that he had wontons to eat.

“Okay, I’ll come find you.”

Yang Qiming replied, “OK.”

Fifth building, male dorm, rooftop.

Logically, the rooftop should have been locked. But there were too many talented people in the male dorm; some guy had unlocked it, and if you didn’t look closely, you wouldn’t even notice.

The few male students on the upper floors of the fifth building tacitly kept this secret.

Late at night, Yang Qiming finished replying to the message, somewhat irritably rubbing the back of his head. He really couldn’t understand what was going on in women’s minds; he brought her food, but she didn’t want it.

Saying something like, “I didn’t ask you to bring it!”

This sentence deeply hurt Yang Qiming. For the first time, he gritted his teeth and glared at his girlfriend, his emotions somewhat inflamed.

“What do you mean! Your QQ signature, so you want other guys to bring you things?”

It was because of this sentence that his girlfriend instantly turned cold, walked into the dorm, and then blocked all his contact information.

Out of helplessness, he could only chat with his girlfriend using Alipay.

【Did you just try to hit me?

Do you have a violent tendency, is that my problem?

There’s nothing more to say between us. Let’s break up, it’s over.】

Although he wasn’t a simp, these words really hurt his heart. He irritably exited, accidentally clicking on QQ.

If his girlfriend hadn’t said that, would he have gotten angry? If the QQ signature wasn’t hinting at him, then who was it hinting at?

This situation, put on any man, who could endure it?

At this moment, he really wanted to tear open his heart and show her. He had invested true feelings in this relationship; what did all those efforts count for?

Amidst his pain, the urge to pee came.

The dorm rooftop was higher than the two dilapidated off-campus shared rental buildings opposite. Besides a row of cooling bricks and a few water towers, it was completely dark.

So there was no need to worry about anything; he just took off his pants, peed, and it was done.

Yang Qiming did the same. After relieving himself, he let out a long sigh of relief, and the knot of resentment in his heart, controlled by the bad woman, also dissipated a little.

He pulled up the zipper of his jeans, a single pull.

Hmm? Why did it get stuck?

Yang Qiming tried several times without success, and he couldn’t help but laugh in frustration. Why were all these annoying things happening today? That woman was like this.

His pants zipper was also like this, damn it.

He tried to pull it a few more times, still without success. The suppressed, nameless anger in his heart instantly erupted, silently shouting, “Everyone bullies me, everyone bullies me!”

Yang Qiming frantically pulled the zipper of his pants up and down, his expression ferocious, occasionally letting out a low growl.

At the rooftop entrance, Lin Dong stood stiffly rooted to the spot.

Yang Qiming had his back to him, continuously making strange movements, combining bending and straightening. First, he ruled out that he was practicing his waist; his hip joints were almost flying back and forth.

Accompanied by a ferocious low growl, it was as if he was… charging.

More crucially, Yang Qiming’s phone screen was lit, displaying the chat interface with himself.

In that instant, Lin Dong’s world collapsed.

The pain brought by this scene might take a lifetime to heal.

Yang Qiming seemed to have sensed something. He turned around but saw nothing. The rooftop entrance was empty. Only then did he remember that Lin Dong said he was coming to find him.

In the darkness, he couldn’t help but murmur,

“Why isn’t Dong Ge here yet?”

By the wall at the rooftop entrance, Lin Dong covered his mouth, his face filled with terror. He almost scrambled, using both hands and feet, quickly went downstairs, and fled back to the dorm as if escaping.

Bang! Click!

“Dong Ge, why did you lock the door?” Huang Cailang was drying his hair, looking puzzled. He kindly reminded him, “Yang Qiming isn’t back yet.”

Lin Dong pressed his back against the door, too scared to speak, trembling.

“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!”

Huang Cailang said “Oh,” and his gaze fell on the bowl of wontons.

“Godfather, are you still eating your wontons?”

Lin Dong shook his head vigorously, “Take them away, take them away!”

“Okay, bro.” Huang Cailang was overjoyed.

He had seen it; Lin Dong only ate one wonton before leaving. Now, they were all his. What was there to dislike? It wasn’t like they were leftovers.

Hehe, he made a profit.

The entire night, Lin Dong was half-awake and half-asleep, thoroughly frightened.

Yang Qiming didn’t notice this at all. When he went downstairs, his girlfriend sent him another message. He was busy arguing until his phone ran out of battery.

In the last second before the screen went black, she sent a message.

“Please, let me go.”

Seeing that message, Yang Qiming couldn’t sleep the entire night. The moment he closed his eyes in the dorm, scenes of their past relationship flashed before him.

Yang Qiming suddenly softened again, a thought flashing through his mind.

Maybe, he should try one more time tomorrow, send her breakfast.

Perhaps, she was like him. She had calmed down after a night, and tomorrow she would change her mind, after all, they had so many beautiful memories!

This is love!

The next day.

Lin Dong looked at the breakfast on his desk, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His fingers dug into his hair, his eyes bloodshot, with only one thought in his mind.

No, buddy, you…

I’m finished, I’m finished, I must change dorms!!!

There was still a bed in Zeng You’s dorm. He should swap with one of them. With the connections he had built up, he shouldn’t be refused.

Although Wu Jungu was in that dorm, it would be a bit awkward, but it was better than—

“Team Leader, what’s wrong?” Chen Yunyun looked at Lin Dong curiously, hesitating, “You look so pale, are you sick?”

Sun Zhicheng arrived early today and also glanced over, startled.

“Dong Ge, did you use Tsukuyomi last night? So red?”

“It’s nothing, nothing, I just didn’t sleep well.” Lin Dong coughed. He definitely couldn’t tell anyone about this, but Jiang Nian must know.

Sigh! That scoundrel! He truly deserved to die!

Chen Yunyun wanted to ask something else, but suddenly she caught sight of Jiang Nian entering from the classroom doorway.

She stopped speaking, pursed her lips, and walked across half the classroom towards the door.

Sun Zhicheng appeared to be memorizing words, but his eyes had already taken everything in.

He looked at Chen Yunyun’s retreating figure, feeling heartbroken, wishing he could write a sad love song on the spot. But in the end, he could only endure, swallowing the bitter fruit.

Starting over as friends, love is restraint and forbearance!

This is love.

Fewer updates today. I’ll try my best to do three updates starting tomorrow.
