Chapter 37
Shang Jin opened his eyes and blew out the candle. The dormitory immediately plunged into darkness.
Shoot, I should turn the lights on. Eyes not yet adapted, Ye Zhou carefully stood up and went to the door to turn on the lights.
Before he reached the door, the dormitory door was pushed opened from the outside.
No one in the dorm? Liu Yutian just finished saying this when he was scared by a shadow in the room and stepped back, stepping on Wen Renxus foot.
Ow! Wen Renxu continuously pushed and shoved Liu Yutian aside, Really hurts!
Liu Yutian, with fear lingering in his heart, hand shook as he pressed on the light.
The suddenly-on lights made Ye Zhou and Shang Jin both squint their eyes at the same time.
Liu Yutian stopped his steps in front, and Wen Renxu, who was blocked behind him, patted him again and said, Why dont youYe Zhou? Wen Renxus eyes shifted from Ye Zhou to Shang Jin, then finally, shifted to the cake. Ehuhthatdo you want us to withdraw tonight?
What withdrawing! Ye Zhou pulled the two men who were slowly retreating and said, Today is Shang Jins birthday. Were eating cake together!
Birthday? Wen Renxu was shocked, Then its even more necessary that we dont stay here! Rest assured, Ill just take my charger and go!
Ill take my notebook! Its fast!
In spite of Ye Zhous urging, the two quickly took the things they wanted and before leaving, said to Shang Jin, Happy Birthday, Shang Jin!
Hey Clearly before, he didnt feel awkward being alone in the dorm with Shang Jin, but after what Liu Yutian and Wen Renxu had said, Ye Zhou always felt a bit embarrassed now, as if there really seemed to be something between Shang Jin and him. He solemnly said, Shang Jin, through this period of time of getting along, you should know how I think of you, right?
This period of time of getting along
Shang Jin bowed his head and pondered. Half a year ago, Ye Zhou strongly charged into his life. The two men who had no intersections were suddenly bound together by everyone.
From childhood to now, it wasnt that no one liked him.
Most people merely talked, but didnt do anything. Even if they did something, Shang Jin only felt that they were causing trouble for him.
Ye Zhou was different from the others. He was like a beam of light, not harsh yet warming, slowly permeating into his life.
Once one got used to it, its hard to leave again.
Such as when hed had a fight with Ye Zhou during last years exam week, hed thought that it was only a return to his former life. However, one short week later, Shang Jin was the first to capitulate.
Shang Jin looked at the cake in front of him and said, Quite clear. Every little bit that Ye Zhou did for him, he couldnt be clearer.
Thats good. Ye Zhou was secretly delighted. Its fine as long as Shang Jin knew that he really didnt have any improper thoughts towards Shang Jin. Others may misunderstand it, then let them misunderstand. Based on the experience of the past six months, even if he dragged Shang Jin to explain, they may not believe it. It was better to maintain the status quo.
Shang Jin took out the candle, picked up a fork and forked a strawberry, bringing it to Ye Zhous mouth.
Ye Zhou took a slight step back and said, Today is your birthday. You eat first.
Shang Jin moved the fork to Ye Zhous mouth again, using his action to express that Ye Zhou should eat first.
Ye Zhou looked at the strawberry in front of his eyes and couldnt say what feeling was in his heart. He felt embarrassed and a little awkward. He resisted the complicated emotions and placed the strawberry into his mouth. While he finished eating, he conveniently grabbed a fork over. Ill eat it myself.
Shang Jin cut a small piece and handed it to Ye Zhou.
Ye Zhou didnt like sweets, and especially didnt like cakes, these kind of sweet and greasy things. So this time, hed bought a small, six-inch cake. Originally, hed had the intention to just eat a bite, but facing Shang Jins good intentions, he couldnt refuse. Fortunately, after receiving it, it was only a small piece of cake and could be eaten in two bites.
Then, Ye Zhou courted disaster and ridiculed, I bought you such a big cake, but you only gave me such a little bit? Too stingy.
Shang Jin stared at him with a smile that wasnt a smile and asked, Are you sure?
Ye Zhou silently closed his mouth.
Even if the cake is delicious, you cant eat too much. Do you mind if I give it to the next dorm in a while?
Of course, I dont mind. Id originally intended to ask them to come together to celebrate your birthday tonight, but I slept after returning at noon and forgot.
Shang Jin laughed, This is quite good. I like it very much.
Laughed again
Was today the major broadcast of the smile?
Ye Zhou always felt that todays Shang Jin felt very different, but he couldnt tell where it was different in the end. He shoved the cake into his mouth in two bites and took his eco-friendly bag from the door. He carefully drew two pots of plants from the bag.
Shang Jin moved the cake to his desk, crouched down and stroked a leaf, and said, This is a strawberry seedling.
Eh? How did you know? Ye Zhou curiously said, Have you grown it?
No. Its easy to see from the shape and veins of the leaves.
The seedlings only had a few small leaves: where was it easy to recognize? Obviously, there were a lot of weeds by the roadside whose leaves looked similar to this.
Really was inexplicable how hed lost to Shang Jin once again.
Ye Zhou pushed the seedlings in the pots in front of Shang Jin and said, Heres a gift for you.
Shang Jin glanced at strawberry seedlings in the white porcelain pots next to Ye Zhous hand and said, When you bought me a present, you also bought yourself one?
Ye Zhou laughedhehehtwice and said, Compete?
Shang Jin raised an eyebrow and said, You really want to compete with me in every possible way.
Raising plants is different from testing. I may lose in the exams, but raising plants wont be the same. Thinking of Shang Jins lazy character, Ye Zhou emphasized, Moreover, this is a gift. Youre not allowed to let it die!
Shang Jin didnt speak, his hand kept rubbing the leaves.
Once again, the dorm fell into silence. Ye Zhou also didnt know why getting along with Shang Jin today, he always couldnt keep calm in his heart. He suddenly stood up and said, You cut the cake and well send it next door.
After Shang Jin cut it, Ye Zhou didnt wait for the other person at all and impatiently rushed to the dorm next door with the rest of the cake.
At this time, the dorm next door was the same as many times before: many people were lying against the wall close to 405.
Ye Zhou, face filled with black lines, said, Is your hobby listening in the corner?
Once Ye Zhou said it, all the people, like being pressed by a switch, quickly stood up, forced a laugh and asked him what was the matter.
Inviting you to eat cake for Shang Jins birthday. Ye Zhou placed the cake on the table and deliberately looked at his two roommates. And you guys, go back to sleep at night. No matter what was said, he didnt want to be alone with Shang Jin tonight. This kind of uncontrollable feeling was too strange, strange to the point where Ye Zhou felt at a loss to know what to do.
Liu Yutian and Wen Renxu still wanted to refuse but were forcibly hauled back by Ye Zhou.
In the evening, the several people in the dorm finished showering and were lying in bed chatting. Most of the time, it was Ye Zhou, Liu Yutian and Wen Renxu talking, and Shang Jin occasionally inserted a sentence or two.
Just like every day before.
Ye Zhou touched his calm heart. His heartbeat was normal.
So the anomaly just then, was it only an accident?
