Chapter 17 - Spring Dream

When Yan Shuo was chatting on WeChat, Shen Ze was right next to him, not too far away.


Since they slept on the same bed, they have become accustomed to getting along like this.


However, because the content to be chatted was related to Shen Ze, Yan Shuo moved his position calmly, a little further away from Shen Ze, and then began to type.


"Xiao Qi, are you busy?"


"Not busy, what's the matter QAQ?"


"..."


The signature "QAQ" on the screen popped out brightly, and Yan Shuo was suddenly reminded that Qi Haoyu is a simple-minded primary school student. What can he ask him for advice? This QQ love tenth-level research scholar can at best help him change an online dating partner.


Hey, it's all here.


Yan Shuo: "It's okay, I can chat with you casually."


After sending this sentence, he thought, he should first prepare for the topic before entering the topic.


Yan Shuo: "How are you, how are you with your new girlfriend?"


Qi Haoyu: "Okay QAQ, she is super cute! Super good!"


Qi Haoyu: "But it's a bit upsetting..."


Yan Shuo: "What's upsetting?"


Qi Haoyu: "She seems to want to meet me, in reality."


Yan Shuo: "..."


Isn't the little girl so young and dare to meet strangers after only a few days of online dating?


Qi Haoyu: "Hey, she hinted to me several times. I deliberately interrupted and went around. How could I meet her? But she saw that I didn't want to see her, and she was very depressed. I was afraid that she would be sad. What should I do? Brother?"


Yan Shuo: "..."


I didn't find an emotional mentor, so I must first be a mentor to others.


Forget it, people called brother openly, he had to act like a brother.


Yan Shuo said, "Do you want to fall in love? I mean, in reality, falling in love with Li Linjia on your back, do you dare?"


Qi Haoyu: "Don't dare to QAQ."


Yan Shuo: "Then it's over. Let's continue online dating. Meeting is too risky. Besides, you are not familiar with her. I don't know what her nature is. If she meets you, she will burst out for you..."


Qi Haoyu: "55555" (note: sounds like 'wuwuwu' it's the Chinese slang for crying sounds)


Qi Haoyu: "Being a star is so hard to TAT."


Yan Shuo: "Who said no."


The two of them were silent for a few seconds. Yan Shuo felt that it was time to get to the point. Before he could speak, Qi Haoyu was very on the road and took the initiative to ask——


Qi Haoyu: "How about you, brother? You're so old, why aren't you ready to fall in love?"


Yan Shuo: "..."


What is "so old?" He is a handsome young man in his early twenties.


Yan Shuo: "Don't worry, I didn't want to talk about it, but..."


Qi Haoyu: "But?"


Yan Shuo pretended to say, "But recently my relationship with someone is a little bit so...unexplainable."


Qi Haoyu: "Who is it?"


Yan Shuo: "Who is not the point. The point is that I and him are in a strange state. I don't think his attitude towards me can be understood in accordance with common sense. It is too baffling."


Qi Haoyu: "⊙o⊙ him?"


Yan Shuo: "She."


Yan Shuo: "The input method is wrong, don't care."


Qi Haoyu: "Oh, why is it weird? Tell me."


Yan Shuo: "How should I say, I have not known her for a short time, but it has always been a very ordinary relationship. I haven't had a deep relationship with her. Recently, because of some things I have become more familiar with, it is a leaps and bounds, but friends. It's just a friend. Neither she nor I have any thoughts in that regard."


Yan Shuo: "At first, because of a misunderstanding, I mistakenly thought she liked me, but then I solved the misunderstanding. I was a little embarrassed. What's more embarrassing was that she suddenly made a move that I didn't expect."


Qi Haoyu: "⊙o⊙ What action!"


Yan Shuo: "Kissed me, kissed me."


Qi Haoyu: "!!!"


Qi Haoyu: "Ah, ah, ah, ah, I haven't been kissed by a girl yet! The first kiss is still there! Are you also the first kiss this time, brother?"


Yan Shuo: "...=_= This is not the point."


It's so hard to talk to elementary school students. It's really hard.


Yan Shuo was a little desperate and didn't want to continue speaking. Anyway, he said nothing.


Qi Haoyu was aroused by curiosity and proactively asked——


Qi Haoyu: "Why did she kiss you suddenly? Does she like you?"


Yan Shuo: "No, after the kiss, she also emphasized that she didn't like me at all and had no interest in me.


Qi Haoyu: "Oh, she must be a tsundere."


Yan Shuo: "..."


Yan Shuo: "No, she really didn't like me. She ignored me the next day. She has been ignoring me for more than a week, treating me like air."


Qi Haoyu: "How could this happen? Did you do something to annoy her?"


Yan Shuo: "I doubt it too, but I'm not sure."


Yan Shuo: "When we were together that day, she said to me that she could promise me one thing. The atmosphere was very delicate and I was in a bad mood. I didn't know what she meant for the first time, so I just agreed. Jokingly told her to pay me back."


Yan Shuo: "But she doesn't seem to be angry because of paying back the money."


Yan Shuo: "Actually, I recovered a little bit afterwards. She might be hinting at me...suggesting that aspect, let me speak actively."


Qi Haoyu: "⊙o⊙?"


Yan Shuo: "It seems to mean this, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Mainly I don't feel that she likes me. Normally, if you like someone, shouldn't you take the initiative to show them well? She has never expressed anything special to me. "


Qi Haoyu: "Not necessarily."


Qi Haoyu: "Girls are generally more reserved."


Qi Haoyu: "But she took the initiative to kiss you, it's weird..."


Yan Shuo: "Yes, I can't understand it."


Besides, Shen Ze is not a girl. What is he reserved? If he doesn't like it, he doesn't like it.


But then again, if there is no meaning in that respect, would a real straight man make a joke about kissing? It's too far.


Yan Shuo's brain hurts. It's okay if he doesn't talk to Qi Haoyu. The more he talks, the more he at a loss, he shouldn't think deeply about this matter.


Qi Haoyu said, "Brother, should we ask Brother Jin? He is the best at this kind of thing."


Yan Shuo: "No need."


Qi Haoyu: "Oh, don't be shy, this is about your lifelong event!"


Yan Shuo: "..."


Qi Haoyu's hand was so fast that he quickly pulled a small group of three people, named "Rescue the Stumbled Teenager in Love."


Yan Shuo: "..."


Thinking about it better, at least Qi Haoyu didn't directly say it in their five-person group, otherwise he would be seen by Shen Ze and he would be publicly executed again.


Just when Yan Shuo sighed, the group chat began.


Li Jin: "What is this? What group?"


Yan Shuo grimaced and blackened himself cruelly: "Junior high school girls really love exchange groups."


Li Jin: "..."


Li Jin: "Ah, what's the matter, who has fallen into the quagmire of love?"


Qi Haoyu: "Brother Yan."


Qi Haoyu: "Wait, I will post a screenshot."


A few seconds later, Qi Haoyu snapped out the chat history between him and Yan Shuo.


Li Jin quickly finished reading. As a veteran love player at the king level, let him participate in this kind of elementary school chicken symposium, and he was really disappointed.


Li Jin didn't reply to them for about two minutes.


Just when Yan Shuo thought he would not speak anymore, a line of words jumped out of the group.


Li Jin: "How is her usual style? What is her character?"


style? character? He is cold, alone, and out of gregariousness. Yan Shuo doesn't understand his attitude towards feelings. He doesn't know whether Shen Ze has ever been in a relationship or not. It seems that there is no such thing.


But he couldn't be too truthful, because he was afraid of revealing his stuff and was seen by Li Jin. So he replied vaguely "not too enthusiastic".


Li Jin said: "In your situation, it may be that she is deliberately ambiguous, slaps you a few times, and uses you as a spare tire. If you are not serious, she is in the middle of your arms. If you start to be more truthful, ask her to be responsible. She would ask innocently: What's wrong? What are you talking about, have we ever happened?"


Li Jin: "Or, she may be interesting to you, but she can't deal with you directly by confessing, so she wants to catch and seduce you, and wait for you to get the bait."


Qi Haoyu: "⊙o⊙ Wow, it sounds so advanced..."


Yan Shuo: "No, she doesn't look like this kind of person."


Li Jin: "Does it mean to be more serious?"


Yan Shuo: "Well, almost..."


Li Jin: "That may be a passion for committing crimes."


Qi Haoyu: "What does it mean to commit crimes with passion QAQ?"


"Brother." Li Jin issued a smoking face and began to conduct gender education, "You must know that men and women are all sensory animals. If the right atmosphere of the day is in place, it is easy to lose yourself and be controlled by hormones. So she was tempted, passionate, and doing abnormal things, but afterwards, she thought about it and regretted it again. She didn’t want to be responsible for what she had done. She only made mistakes on impulse, and didn’t even want to admit that she had made mistakes. When she close her eyes, nothing has happened."


Li Jin: "I have seen a lot of this kind of people. I used to be impulsive, but now that I have experience, at least I will never touch on this type of person."


Yan Shuo: "...what type of person?"


Li Jin: "People have left X mercilessly, and you still think over and over again, why, why, does she like me?"


Li Jin: "It's easy to be slapped."


Yan Shuo: "..."


Yan Shuo: "No, I didn't think about it over and over, I am not curious."


Li Jin: "Curiosity is the first step to get in."


Li Jin: "A man must never be curious about a woman. You should make her curious about you, so that she will never see through you, understand?"


Qi Haoyu: "Understand, understand! I understand!"


Yan Shuo: "..."


You know a ball.


Yan Shuo was one of the first two people, he read Li Jin's words carefully, and then he thought about it for Shen Ze.


But still uncertain--


Shen Ze wanted to catch him, deliberately hooked him, or committed the crime passionately, and then he drew a clear line with him afterwards, and when nothing happened, he continued to be a straight man?


It seems that the latter is closer to reality.


Yan Shuo put down the phone and went to the bathroom to take a shower.


Although after this exchange, his question has not been completely resolved, at least he understands one point. He shouldn't be curious about this. It doesn't matter what Shen Ze is like.


Not moving like a mountain is the right way.


Yan Shuo took a bath and fell asleep contentedly.


Maybe it was because he was in a gender class all night, and he was full of men and women passion hormones. That night, Yan Shuo had a dream.


A dream full of yellow spring.


Yan Shuo was suffocated, and in a suffocating fear, he was awakened.


"Hello." Shen Ze gave him a push.


"..."


Yan Shuo opened his eyes, missed the focus for several seconds, and looked at Shen Ze blankly.


Shen Ze turned on the light, "What's wrong with you?"


"..." Yan Shuo calmed his breath, and his consciousness returned a little, "No...Are you still asleep?"


"Sleep." Shen Ze said, "was awakened by your sleep."


Yan Shuo: "Ah, sorry."


He felt tight in his chest and coughed twice in a low voice. He looked down and suddenly realized that his quilt didn't know when he was kicked away. There was only a thin layer of pajama pants that could not cover anything.


Yan Shuo had a guilty conscience and pulled off the quilt smoothly.


Did he talk in sleep? What did he say?


Dreaming of spring dreams and talking in dreams, especially Shen Ze is now looking at him, the face in front of him is sharply defined, which overlaps with the dream. For a moment, he was in a daze, and almost had an illusion, suspecting that he and Shen Ze had indeed done something just now.


"Do you want a help?" Shen Ze said suddenly.


Yan Shuo was taken aback: "Huh?"


Shen Ze lifted his chin and motioned to the arch of his lower body: "I said, do you want a help?"
