When Adonis returned to campus with the cold and ruthless "villain," it was the eve of the new school year. Adonis has been in a bad mood recently, insisting on carrying the luggage upstairs by himself. Dylan had no choice but to let him do it.
Back already? Gene opened the door for them and looked at Adonis, who looked as tired as an old dog, and chuckled, "How have you been these days?" "
It's okay. After Adonis entered the room, he casually threw his things on the bed and then slumped into the chair, motionless.
Let's go out for dinner while there's no curfew tonight. When Gene made the suggestion, Adonis looked at him in surprise, only to see Gene leaning against the bedside table, smiling, "Us?" Just you and me? "
"Of course not, there are others." "Gene smiled brightly, "And my girlfriend and her roommate." "
Adonis slumped on the table, sliding his fingers back and forth on the phone screen, "Don't want to go." "
Go, you must go. "Gene raised his voice, sounding determined, "I'll treat." "
Okay. "Adonis reluctantly agreed." Adonis answered decisively this time, and Gene turned back satisfied to focus on his homework.
Oswin peeked out from behind the computer screen and asked, "Why didn't you bring me and Dylan along?" "
Tonight is not suitable for you, let's talk about it next time. "Gene waved his hand, signaling Oswin to hurry up and do his homework." "
Dylan sat at the table, silently turning on the desk lamp and flipping through his textbooks, while his ears acted like radar picking up the conversations of the other roommates in the dorm. He was also a little curious, but his rationality told him it was better not to speak up.
Adonis took a shower, changed his clothes, sat in his seat, turned on the computer to play games for a while, felt a bit bored, and said, 'I'm going to sleep first, wake me up when it's time.' He waved to Gene and then climbed into bed, ready to drift off to sleep.
What are you doing? Before he could even close his eyes, another message from Tina popped up. Adonis wrapped himself up like a tightly wrapped caterpillar, with only one arm sticking out to play with his phone.
Just arrived at school, getting ready to take a nap, what's up? "Adonis replied, shaking his head groggily, trying to clear his mind." The message across the way popped up as quickly as a rocket: "It's nothing, just checking to see if your feet are feeling better." "
"Full of energy long ago! Adonis replied with a smug smile, "This little injury is a piece of cake." "
Oh, then I can rest assured. You should get some rest early. "
"Good night~" Adonis put his phone under the pillow, closed his eyes, and comfortably drifted off to sleep.
Before Gene could come and wake him up, Adonis was awakened two hours later by the rumbling of his own stomach. He patted his stomach, got out of bed, and put on a coat.
It was only at this moment that he truly felt that the autumn Dylan had been talking about had really arrived. The sky was darker earlier than before. He was wearing cotton slippers on his feet, and as he walked to the balcony door, he reached out and pushed it open, instantly awakened by a sudden gust of cool wind. With a disapproving click of his tongue, he shook his head and picked up the broom and dustpan next to him, sweeping away the dust and leaves that had accumulated on the balcony over the past few days.
It's time to go, Adonis. "Gene called out to him in the dorm room." Adonis put the tools back in place, tightened his clothes, entered the house, and casually closed the balcony door, "I'm going to change my clothes." He nodded to Gene. "Oh, your complexion looks terrible. Did you dream of being chased by ghosts last night?" Gene squinted at Adonis. Is this just your typical morning grumpiness? "
Adonis calmly took off his pajamas, revealing a slight smile, "No big deal." "
Okay. Gene shrugged and watched Adonis put on a short-sleeved shirt. "Let's go, we're leaving." "
Adonis put his phone in his pocket and caught a glimpse of Dylan's figure out of the corner of his eye. He hesitated for a moment, then grabbed a coat from the wardrobe and draped it over his arm. "Okay." "
When they arrived at the barbecue stall Gene had booked, the two of them found a place to sit down. Adonis played with his phone, gently poking Gene, "Hey, can you tell me who else is there now?" "
I've said it before. "Gene smiled like a fox, "My girlfriend, and her roommate." "
Adonis pondered for a moment, "Tina?" "
I knew you could guess. "Gene laughed heartily, flipping through the menu, "The girl is interested in you, so stop pretending to be clueless all the time." "
Adonis remained silent, his gaze fixed on the tableware in front of him.
I really think you have a problem. "Gene closed the menu, "Is there something on your mind? "
No. "Adonis spoke casually, as if everything was normal." In these two days, his attitude towards Dylan has evolved from initial confusion and dissatisfaction to calmness. This calmness is built on the intertwining of several previous thoughts, so that his current mood is so complex that it is difficult to describe.
During Dylan's one-sided cold war days, he unexpectedly experienced a hint of heartbreak.
He always believed that this sense of loss stemmed from being betrayed and abandoned by his brothers.
Xiao Wei. A female voice came from beside them. Adonis and Gene both looked up to find the source of the voice. They saw a girl wearing a white one-shoulder long dress, with short hair similar to Tina's, and a hint of makeup on her face, walking towards them with Tina. It was Gene's girlfriend, Jiang Wanyao.
Wanyao. Gene's face lit up with a smile as he stood up and took her hand. Adonis also greeted Tina, who was walking gracefully in canvas shoes.
Tina is wearing a red and white striped short-sleeved shirt today, paired with a blue denim skirt. Her hair is tied up in a small ponytail, with a few shorter strands gently framing her face. Unlike her usual exquisite and suffocating mature lady style, today she is simple and fresh, yet charming.
As they sat down, Adonis couldn't help but exclaim, "President, today is truly a glorious day." "
Tina smiled and gently brushed aside the stray hair lifted by the breeze, "Thank you, it's rare to hear your praise." "
They ordered some delicious food, accompanied by beer, and enjoyed the meal. Gene saw that Jiang Wanyao was already a bit drunk, so he helped her and waved goodbye to the remaining two people, 'She seems a bit drunk, I'll take her back first, you guys continue chatting.' "
Adonis nodded, "Be careful on the way." Tina also nodded in agreement. After watching the two of them leave, she seemed a bit uneasy, picked up the cup in front of her, and took a big gulp.
"You're a girl, drinking so much alcohol is not good for your health." Adonis noticed the blush on Tina's cheeks and kindly reminded her.
Tina put down the cup and called softly, "Adonis." "
Hmm? Adonis tidied up the clutter on the table, "What's up?" "
I like you. Tina's voice, though soft, was full of determination. On that sunny afternoon, a group of girls who chose the police academy as their special training camp had personalities as straightforward as their uniforms, without any beating around the bush. Adonis, the protagonist of the story, never expected that a confession would be so direct and sudden.
His hand paused in midair for a moment, then he slowly lifted his head, meeting Tina's slightly flushed cheeks with his gaze. Her eyes were filled with tenderness and determination, as if silently urging him to speak.
For a moment, Adonis felt as if he had been intoxicated by alcohol and was about to nod in agreement. The next moment, a gust of evening wind blew on his face, instantly waking him up.
Thank you, Tina. His gaze met Tina's eyes with equal determination, "I hope we can always be good friends, but..." He paused for a moment and said, "I don't think I'm the most suitable candidate for a deeper relationship." "
Tina's eyes dimmed slightly when he said "thank you," but she still smiled and listened to Adonis's words, then smiled casually and said, "It's okay, we are still friends." "
Hmm. "Adonis nodded earnestly, "Always have been." "
I'm leaving. "Tina said softly, turned and left, leaving Adonis alone in the wind to ponder." Tina's face was as pale as if covered with frost, her voice tinged with traces of unshed tears, "You should go back early too." "
I'll walk with you for a while. Adonis was about to reach out a helping hand, but Tina agilely dodged it, saying, "No need, bye-bye." "
Before the words had even faded, she strode quickly towards the back gate of the school, and Adonis sighed deeply as he watched her tall figure recede.
Feeling even more depressed.
Adonis shouted at the boss, "Another round of beer!" "
Our dormitory may be welcoming its second love expert. After Gene dropped off his girlfriend and returned to his dorm, he lay on the bed leisurely after washing up.
Who? Adonis? "Oswin was the first to stick his head out and ask, 'I almost forgot he hasn't come back yet.' On the other side, Dylan also cast a curious glance from the bed.
Yes. "Gene said mysteriously, 'If he succeeds, I think we need to give him a good beating in our dorm.' "
You spoke in a mysterious way, who are you really? "Oswin waved his hand to interrupt him, "The game is not over yet." "
The head of my girlfriend's dormitory is Tina. "Gene seems confident, 'I think there's a good chance this will work out.' Wow, isn't this the legendary campus beauty? Oswin widened his eyes, then suddenly realized, "So you're not taking us out tonight because you're arranging a blind date for Adonis!" "
What blind date, don't talk nonsense. "Gene retorted discontentedly, 'I was just helping them draw the red line.' "
The two of them were chatting enthusiastically, while Dylan on the side was growing increasingly sullen.
He picked up his phone and sent a message to Adonis: "Where are you?" "
After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply, Dylan started to feel anxious, "Could it be true, as Gene said, that Tina is with him and has no time to talk to me?" "
The unprecedented sense of crisis made Dylan feel uneasy. He got out of bed, sat in the chair, feeling uneasy and constantly reflecting on his recent cold attitude towards Adonis.
It's both laughable and childish.
Oh my goodness! Gene suddenly exclaimed as he held up his phone.
What's going on? What's going on? Oswin's neck was almost stretched to Gene's face, and he looked even more anxious than Dylan.
Gene's tone was full of disbelief, "My girlfriend said that Adonis actually turned down our sorority's invitation..." "
I had already guessed. Dylan said lightly. Oswin's shock only lasted for a few seconds, "He didn't even mention it, obviously not interested in that matter." "
Oh, this kid is really lucky but doesn't know how to enjoy it... "
"Enough, the melon forced to ripen will not be sweet." "Oswin complained while munching on melon seeds."
Dylan was always paying attention to their conversation. After listening to it, he finally sat down in his chair, took a long breath, and felt a mixture of relief and satisfaction in his heart, deepening his guilt towards Adonis.
He picked up his phone and struggled to figure out how to apologize to Adonis, after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't find the right words. He apologized gloomily. In the chat box, I felt that it was a bit abrupt to say that, hesitating whether to send it or not. Suddenly, Adonis's call appeared on the screen.
He hesitated for a moment, quickly answered the call, before he could speak, the other side shouted first: "I'm CN※&*％￥&Dylan, do you have such disrespectful juniors to seniors? Get out here and prepare to be beaten!" "
