Coming out of the shower, Jiang Yu was still steaming. He wiped his half-dried hair and walked into the living room with his slippers drooping.

There was a weak, warm light in the living room; the sound of running water came from the parent’s room; Jiang Meng seemed to be still chatting; and the laughter of two girls could be heard in the room.

It was raining nonstop outside. When Jiang Yu was walking towards the balcony, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a person standing in the darkness of the balcony.

The man was leaning against the wall and smoking a cigarette, with a flickering spark burning between his lips. At the moment when a flash of lightning struck, Jiang Yu could clearly see Li Ying’s face.

He stood in the dim light and watched him. When Li Ying saw Jiang Yu walking towards him, he put out the cigarette.

The sea breeze mixed with rain came in from the window.

“Are you feeling cold?”

Li Ying spoke suddenly, and Jiang Yu was a little surprised. He hung up the towel and turned his head: “Huh?”

Li Ying didn’t speak any more, raised his hand, and closed the window behind him.

Now is the hottest time of summer, and even if it is stormy, there is still a sultry heat in the air.

It will not be cold.

Jiang Yu still remembered the task that Jiang Meng had given him, so he was not in a hurry to leave, but he didn’t know what to say to Li Ying. He is usually lazy, and it is always others who talk to him.

The weather was already dull, so Jiang Yu simply opened the window and let the wind blow inside for a while.

Li Ying didn’t leave either; the silhouettes of the two were hidden in the darkness of the balcony, silently admiring the never-ending torrential rain.

Jiang Yu’s slightly dry hair was wet by the rain again, and it drooped limply on his head.

“You and my sister…”

“You are at Jiangzhou University…”

The two spoke at the same time, stopped at the same time, and looked at each other sideways.

Jiang Yu took the lead to look away and couldn’t help but slander: talking to strangers is embarrassing.

Li Ying looked at him and withdrew his gaze: “You say.”

“Are you in the same class as my sister?” Jiang Yu asked, and he threw out some cryptic hints: “I heard her mention you.”

“En,” Li Ying lowered his eyes, wondering what he was thinking, “We usually don’t talk; this is the first time I know she has a younger brother.”

Li Ying looked sideways at him as he spoke; his voice was a little muffled by the rain: “You two don’t look alike.”

Speaking of this, Jiang Yu became excited, nodded, and smiled complacently: “I look like my mother, more handsome; she looks like my father, ugly.”

Li Ying smiled lightly and responded softly, “En.”

Hearing this response, Jiang Yu turned his head and glanced at him, and he saw that Li Ying, who is usually known as a cold male god, had a faint smile on his lips, as if he really agreed with what he said.

Isn’t he easy to get along with? The more Jiang Yu chatted, the more he realised that his sister was not authentic. Every day she said behind his back that he was so cold and difficult to get along with. On the contrary, he quite liked Li Ying’s personality.

He doesn’t talk much but is sincere when responding to others.

After being silent for a while and seeing that Jiang Yu didn’t speak any more, Li Ying asked, “You go to Jiangzhou University?”

“Yeah,” Jiang Yu looked at him suspiciously, “How do you know?”

Li Ying: “…I just heard Jiang Meng mentioning it.”

“Oh,” Jiang Yu said, not doubting him.

Li Ying asked again: “Sophomore?”

“En, sophomore year.” Jiang Yu grabbed his damp hair and pulled the window shut to block the rain.

Li Ying glanced at him twice, then glanced at his soft, wet hair. After a while, he lowered his eyes and took away the dark and unclear thoughts in his eyes.

“Go back to your room and rest,” Li Ying said, raising his eyes again, “Don’t forget to dry your hair.”

When Li Ying went to take a bath, Jiang Yu was being harassed by Jiang Meng all the time. Jiang Meng kept asking him about his progress: Did you add him to WeChat? Did you find out what kind of girl he likes, and does he have a crush on me?

Unbearable to be harassed, Jiang Yu simply leaned on the head of the bed and started a game.

Jiang Meng’s notification popped up again.

[Li Ying loves to be clean; get him a blanket and give him a better sleep!!]

Jiang Yu was too lazy to go back; he added a classmate who often teamed up with him, and the classmate also added a girl to join the team.

In the middle of the game, Li Ying came back from the shower.

After the conversation on the balcony, the strange and awkward atmosphere between the two disappeared a lot. Jiang Yu glanced at him and remembered Jiang Meng’s advice: “There are blankets in the cabinet behind you; you can take them; if you don’t mind, you can cover with me too.”

Li Ying glanced at the ravaged air-conditioning quilt on the bed. Jiang Yu stretched out one leg casually and stepped on it with one foot. It seemed like he wasn’t comfortable.

Li Ying looked away and said, “No, it’s not cold tonight.” He took another pillow at the head of the bed and asked, “Is this for me?”

“Hmm,” Jiang Yu said, moving his butt to one side to make room for him.

His bed was not big enough to barely squeeze two grown boys.

Hearing Jiang Yu’s voice, the classmate asked who it was, and Jiang Yu replied, “My sister’s classmate.”

Then the female friend asked again: “Is your sister’s classmate very handsome?”

Jiang Yu paused and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Li Ying. He had just gone to bed, and he was looking at his phone with his eyes downcast.

As if sensing his gaze, Li Ying raised his head and looked at him questioningly.

Jiang Yu turned his eyes away and asked in the earphones, “How do you know?”

The girl said, “Listen to the voice; it’s very magnetic, and you’ll know he’s handsome as soon as you hear his voice.”

Jiang Yu smiled and lazily said, “Yeah, he is quite handsome.”

Li Ying, who is quite handsome, looked at him and probably could guess what they were talking about. He took a few glances at Jiang Yu, saw that he was seriously playing the game again, and looked down at the phone again.

There are no entertainment games on his mobile phone. After watching the 20-minute documentary, it was almost time for bedtime. Li Ying turned off his mobile phone and looked sideways at Jiang Yu’s game interface.

Noticing his gaze, Jiang Yu turned around and asked him, “Do you want to play?”

Li Ying said, “I’ll watch you play.”

Hearing what he said, Jiang Yu simply leaned over and turned the screen towards him.

Li Ying watched his fingers operate neatly on the screen; the speed was very fast, and he took the heads of two people under the opposite tree at once.

The game was coming to an end. Jiang Yu got the chicken as he wished, bid farewell to his teammates, and left the team room.

“Done playing?” Li Ying asked.

“En.” Jiang Yu rubbed his neck and asked, “Aren’t you going to sleep?”

Jiang Yu usually does not sleep early. However, he saw that Li Ying was the kind of good student who goes to bed early and gets up early. He thought that the other party was embarrassed to go to bed alone and wanted to wait for him to go to sleep together.

Li Ying was silent for a while. “You played well.”

Speaking of this, Jiang Yu became modest and laughed lazily: “It’s okay.”

He turned his head curiously again: “What about you? Don’t you usually play games?”

“Well, I seldom play,” Li Ying said. “We have a lot of classes.”

Jiang Yu did hear from Jiang Meng that their classes are many and difficult, but they are so busy that they don’t even have time to fall in love and play games. This is probably the gap between ordinary people and top students.

Jiang Yu let out a laugh: “No wonder.”

Li Ying looked at him: “What?”

“No wonder you don’t even have time to fall in love,” Jiang Yu said half-truthfully.

He didn’t expect him to say this suddenly. Li Ying paused slightly and half-closed his eyes.

Seeing that Li Ying didn’t seem interested in talking about this topic, Jiang Yu didn’t continue to ask. Even watching a documentary before going to bed, it is obvious that Gaoling Flower’s thoughts are all on his studies, and he has no plan of falling in love at all.

After chatting casually for a few words, Jiang Yu turned his head, put Jiang Meng’s advice behind him, and fell asleep unknowingly.

Just like Li Ying’s guess, Jiang Yu’s sleeping appearance was really not ordinary; one person almost took up half of the bed.

Li Ying was squeezed to the side of the bed, and when he fell asleep in a daze, someone beside him turned over and conquered the little space he had left. In the end, he had no way to retreat and was grabbed by the man with hands and feet on the bed like a pillow.

The drowsiness that had just arisen was immediately extinguished, and Li Ying turned his head to the side.

With the help of the weak night light, he could see Jiang Yu’s slightly parted lips breathing gently and sleeping deeply. His lips were light in colour, and there was an inconspicuous mole on his lower lip. At least not too noticeable in normal social distance, but it was particularly conspicuous at night like this.

It rained all night, and the air was very fresh the next day.

When Jiang Yu woke up, he was alone on the bed, occupying the entire bed.

When he went out with a bird’s nest on his head, he saw several other people sitting in the dining room chatting, and when they heard the movement, they all turned their heads to look at him.

“Why did you wake up now?” Jiang Meng complained, but her tone was quite happy: “Li Ying said that he would wait for you to wake up and greet you before leaving, but you have been sleeping until now, and they have been waiting for you for a long time.”

Jiang Yu didn’t want to talk to this woman who doesn’t mean what she says, and he subconsciously glanced at Li Ying and saw that the corner of his mouth was slightly curved, looking at him.

It was not a very obvious smile, but it could be seen that he was in a good mood.

Jiang Yu scratched his messy hair, took the last breakfast on the table, looked at Li Ying, and asked, “Why didn’t you wake me up?”

Before Li Ying could speak, Jiang Meng glanced at him first and said to Jiang Yu, “He even asked me not to wake you up.”

“It’s okay.” Li Ying glanced at the time and said, “I’m not in a hurry today.”

Jiang Yu silently stuffed a small soup bag into his mouth.

He said he was waiting for him especially, but in fact, Li Ying didn’t say even a few words to Jiang Yu. While he was having breakfast, they were all chatting about school.

Li Ying stopped occasionally and asked him, “Is it delicious?”

“Hmm,” Jiang Yu licked the soup on his lips, “It’s delicious; it’s the one at the gate of the community.”

“Yeah, is it hot?” Li Ying asked.
(vv: not LY finding random topics just to talk to him, lol, cute.)

Jiang Yu nodded; it was still hot, probably just heated up. He swallowed another soup bag and remembered something: “How did you sleep last night?”

“It was okay,” Li Ying seemed to smile, “Pretty good.”

They whispered a few words here, and the rest of the chat was almost done. Once Jiang Yu finished eating, the three of them got up and said goodbye.

As soon as they left and the door was closed, Jiang Meng couldn’t wait to ask Jiang Yu: “I see that you get along very well; how is it? Did you find out anything?”

Jiang Yu thought about it but didn’t show mercy to his sister: “I think you are useless; he has no plan for dating.”

Jiang Meng froze all of a sudden and asked after a while, “Are you sure? I think he has a good impression of me. He waited for you for more than two hours this morning. He should have left long ago.”
(vv: are you sure he has a good impression of you, miss?)

Jiang Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, “Then you give it a try.”

Hearing his irresponsible speech, Jiang Meng asked again: “Have you added him to WeChat?”

“No,” Jiang Yu said, taking a bottle of yoghurt and turning on the TV.

Sure enough, he was not reliable at all. Jiang Meng got angry when he saw him like this, picked up the pillow on the sofa, and started to beat him.

The two quarrelled for a long time, and finally Jiang Meng’s plan came to nothing because of Jiang Yu’s inaction.

In a blink of an eye, it was the beginning of the school day, and Jiang Yu’s Jiangzhou University was near his home, so he didn’t stay.

And Jiang Meng’s Haicheng University is in Haicheng City. Although the distance is not too far, it takes about an hour by car, but her studies are heavy, and she usually only goes home on weekends.

Not long after school started, Jiang Yu had just finished his afternoon class and was making an appointment with his classmates to go to the Internet cafe when he received a call from Jiang Meng.

Her laptop was left at home; she needs to use it this afternoon and asked Jiang Yu to bring it to her.

Although he said that he was not happy, in the end, it was his own sister. After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yu rejected his friends, took the laptop when he got home, and boarded a taxi to Haicheng University.

When he arrived at Haicheng University, Jiang Meng directly asked him to go to the basketball hall to find her. Jiang Yu was still wondering at first; when his parents asked Jiang Meng to watch him play games in high school, she looked like she was not happy, but now she is interested.

When he went to the basketball court, he saw that Li Ying was playing as expected. Many people surrounded the field. Jiang Yu entered from the door, and he saw him from a distance easily leap into a mid-range shot.

It turned out that Gaoling Flower can also play basketball; Jiang Yu thought he was quite handsome.

When giving the laptop to Jiang Meng, Jiang Yu teased her with a few words: “Didn’t you say watching basketball is not interesting at all?”

Jiang Meng immediately understood what he meant, raised her hand, and patted her younger brother on the shoulder: “Is watching you play and watching Li Ying play the same?”

Jiang Yu sneered: “Before talking, think about who specially came to give you the laptop today.”

“Yes, yes, my brother is the best.” Jiang Meng didn’t argue with him, but then remembered something and looked up at him, saying, “You’d better remember your words; don’t forget that you still have a sister after you fall in love.”

Not long after Jiang Yu arrived, Jiang Meng’s classmates couldn’t help but compliment her when they saw a handsome stranger beside her and asked, “Who is this?”

So Jiang Meng took Jiang Yu’s wrist and introduced him to everyone, “My dear brother,” with a little complacency in her tone.

After everyone said a few words of praise, a girl suddenly said, “Hey, is Li Ying looking at us?”

When Jiang Yu raised his head upon hearing it, Li Ying had already withdrawn his eyes. The ball was being passed to him all the time, and Li Ying was running the whole time, and there was no time to stop at all.

Jiang Meng still had something to do in the afternoon, so she asked Jiang Yu to have dinner together and left first. Jiang Yu was too lazy to wait for her and was ready to leave after parting with her.

Before leaving, he glanced at the court, thinking that Li Ying didn’t see him anyway, so there should be no need to greet him.

At this moment, Li Ying, who had just stopped to rest, swept his eyes away and looked at him.
