Dylan sat in the corner, with the chatter and banter between them echoing in his ears. Suddenly, Adonis casually mentioned his viewpoint on not dating and stole a glance at him.
"Let you talk too much, hahaha." Gene turned around and mercilessly mocked, "Don't end up being the forever single guy in the whole dorm room." "
No, I can't. "Dylan suddenly interrupted, turning his chair to face Adonis, but arguing with Gene, "I will follow Senior Song's footsteps and stay single until the end together." "
Gene opened his mouth, speechless with anger, "Hey, you two really have a telepathic connection." Adonis propped up one side of his face smugly and raised his chin at Gene, "So, it looks like the majority are on my side." "
He then gave Dylan a thumbs up and said, "Good job, bro!" "
Dylan waved his hand, turned around, and started scribbling on his notebook again. In the second year of college, the class schedule seemed quite relaxed. In the afternoon, Adonis only had to attend an elective class. In the spacious classroom big enough to hold a football match, he lazily leaned against the window, propping his chin with one hand, his eyes wandering absentmindedly towards the suddenly darkening horizon outside. The wind outside was howling, and Adonis couldn't help but be drawn to the small sapling swaying in the wind.
On the podium, the young female teacher in a white police uniform was explaining the fourth chapter of the Marriage Law fluently. Adonis felt a bit bored, his half-opened eyelids twitching as if ready to meet the God of Death at any moment, when suddenly a flash of light passed before his eyes.
Hmm? He lightly nudged Oswin, who was secretly playing a game on his phone hidden under a book, with his elbow, and asked, "Did something just flash a moment ago?" "
No, you must be seeing things. "Without looking up, Oswin continued to focus on his game of elimination."
Before Adonis could speak again, a deafening clap of thunder startled him, jolting him awake. Oh my goodness! Adonis covered his chest and said, "Wasn't that lightning just now?" I knew it would be like this. "
Oswin was also frightened by the thunder just now, so he quickly hid his phone under the book, saying, "I'd better not play with my phone. It would be terrible if it got struck by lightning." "
You sound just like my grandma when you say that. "Adonis said with a smile." Adonis looked out of the window. Just as the thunder passed, the heavy rain poured down like a waterfall. He couldn't help muttering, "This rain is really disrespectful!" "
Several students in the back row began to voice their dissatisfaction.
A: Oh my goodness! I forgot to bring an umbrella! "
B: "Me too, empty-handed!" "
C: "I did bring one, but it's a parasol for sun protection." "
A: "An umbrella will do, better than getting soaked like a drowned rat. Give me a ride while you're at it."
B: "Don't forget about me, I need rescue too." "
A: "Your roommates are truly devilish creatures." "
BC: "We are your intimate little cotton jacket." "
A: "Yuck!" "Ahem." The goddess-like teacher on the platform seemed to be interrupted by the whispers from the audience below, so she had to interject, "The rain god is showing his power outside. Did any of you bring an umbrella?" "
"No," came the unanimous reply from the audience, as if rehearsed.
Adonis turned his head, his eyes shining with a glimmer of hope, looking at Oswin.
Don't count on me. Haven't you forgotten that I haven't even seen the shadow of an umbrella? Oswin shrugged helplessly, as if to say, "I am a victim too."
Half an hour until liberation. The teacher glanced at the watch on his wrist and said with a smile, "Hurry up and send a message to your significant other to come to the rescue, there's still time." "
"Teacher, we are all single nobles." Not sure which boy shouted, and laughter filled the classroom instantly.
I can only pray that the rain god is in a good mood when class is over. The teacher said helplessly. "Ahem," the mentor at the podium lightly tapped the table, "Okay, let's continue." Issues regarding the division of marital property... "
Adonis quietly took out his phone from his pocket. Just now the teacher mentioned asking partners to bring umbrellas, and the first thought that came to his mind was to message Dylan.
He really did it.
What are you busy with? /obedient.jpg
Just finished the exam, in the dorm. Oh no, it's raining outside. "
"Yes, I came prepared with an umbrella." "
I didn't bring it. /pitiful.jpg
When do you finish class? "
Adonis glanced at the time on his phone and replied excitedly, "Just a few more minutes until freedom." "
Received. "
Done! Adonis contentedly put his phone back in his pocket, leisurely flipping through the textbook in his hand, almost humming a tune.
Oswin was still happily playing his Happy Elimination game.
When the bell rang, Adonis grabbed his backpack and rushed out of the classroom. The classroom is on the second floor. He had just descended halfway down the stairs when he saw Dylan standing at the entrance holding two umbrellas.
Dylan! He ran down the stairs in three steps and two steps. Dylan heard some noise, turned his head and saw him running towards him with a big smile on his face.
At this moment, the rain not only shows no signs of weakening, but instead is getting heavier, and the wind is becoming more wild.
Dylan gave him a bright smile and handed him another black umbrella, saying, "Let's go." "
Okay! Adonis took the umbrella and just as he opened it over his head, a head inexplicably popped under his umbrella. Oh, Adonis, you are truly my savior! "Oswin tightly held Adonis's arm and pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose. 'Finally, we don't have to walk back to the dorm in the rain anymore.' "
"Why don't you walk with Adonis and me? My umbrella is bigger, and we won't be afraid of getting wet together." "Dylan couldn't help but interrupt as he watched the two of them being intimate."
Sounds good. Adonis quickly weighed his options, decisively handed the umbrella handle to Oswin, and swiftly ducked under Dylan's umbrella.
Adonis grabbed Dylan's arm and suggested, "How about we don't rush back to the dormitory and instead go sit at the school's bubble tea shop? I haven't treated you to a drink yet." "
Good idea. Dylan nodded and walked out the door with Adonis, stepping into the rain together.
Oswin watched them go, hands on hips, and said self-deprecatingly, "Looks like I'm the unluckiest one in the dorm today." "
The heavy rain, coupled with strong winds, still managed to wet the clothes of the two people. They walked into the milk tea shop and sat down. The warm air conditioning inside the shop immediately made them feel extremely comfortable, as if they wanted to let out a satisfied sigh. What would you like to drink to quench your thirst? The shop owner was busy wiping the cups when he caught sight of two dripping wet customers entering the door, and handed them a few pieces of tissue paper.
The bad weather made them the first VIP guests today.
Adonis took the tissue, thanked politely, and then handed a few to Dylan. He skillfully sat in front of the counter and said, "I'll have a mango smoothie, please." "
Strawberry milkshake. "Dylan said casually as he wiped his wet hair."
Adonis glanced at him slightly surprised, "Strawberry?" "
Do you have any questions? "Dylan sat down next to him."
Nothing much. Adonis looked over the menu, "I thought only girls were fond of strawberry flavor." "
"... Oh. At the narrow counter, two tall boys squeezed together, like two bamboo poles colliding in a tight space. They were both buried in their phone screens, but their bodies were like magnets, always unconsciously leaning towards each other. Adonis restlessly squirmed in the swivel chair, the friction between his knees creating a silent dance. "Your mangoes, your strawberries, please enjoy." The shop owner, like a skilled juggler, placed two brightly colored drinks in front of them steadily, then turned to adjust the volume of the sound system, as if that was his true stage.
Boss, I'd like a medium-sized charcoal-roasted milk tea to go, hot, with three-quarters sweetness. The glass door was gently pushed open, and a cool breeze entered along with a familiar female voice.
Adonis looked up to see Tina, also dressed in her duty uniform. The school prohibits makeup, so she removed her usual delicate makeup, leaving only a light layer of transparent lip balm. Her hair seemed to have been cut short, revealing half of an ear, making her look more capable.
He greeted her first, "Long time no see, President." "
I just saw him yesterday. Tina bluntly exposed his hypocrisy. Adonis smiled awkwardly and asked, "Did you come alone?" "
Hmm. She replied succinctly, as if every extra word was a waste. Tina walked lightly to the small table on the side, sat down elegantly, and glanced casually at the counter, where a pair of legs seemed to be engaged in a complex dance. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she did not say much, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became unusually tense. In the boss's stereo, the song 'Whispers of Autumn' still flows slowly, as if whispering some unknown secret in a low voice.
The milk tea is ready. The boss's voice broke the silence. Tina stood up, took the milk tea, paid the bill, then pushed the door and left, leaving a room of tranquility.
Adonis casually rested one hand on the counter, while the other hand leisurely played with his phone, fingers gliding swiftly across the screen as if performing a silent symphony.
Have you found your other half? Tina's message suddenly flashed across Adonis's screen as he was browsing Weibo.
Adonis replied with a puzzled look, "No?" Why are you suddenly asking about this? "
"Adonis, to be honest, I have no bias against you, I just hope you can give me a clear answer." "
What are you talking about? Adonis felt that Tina's words were hiding something, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. His tone also became more urgent.
"Okay." I just asked straightforwardly. "
Hmm. Are you having an affair with Dylan? Adonis was almost choked to death by a milkshake, and he sat up straight, frantically waving his fingers on the keyboard, trying to clear his name.
"Is your brain caught in the door?" "
Just answer yes or no. "
Of course not!! "Adonis exclaimed with two exclamation marks, "Don't talk nonsense." "
Hmm. Okay. Tina stopped talking and Adonis glanced at Dylan, who was sipping through a straw, completely engrossed in his drink as if the whole world had nothing to do with him.
A moment later, Tina's message popped up again, "That means he has a crush on you." "
"Have you taken too much medication today?" Adonis was a little annoyed, "Sending me these out of the blue, I'll just take it as a joke. Please don't send anymore." "
The onlooker sees most of the game. To be honest, I'm starting to regret putting you all together to perform the play. "
The rehearsal schedule has been posted in the group. Remember to rehearse on time. I've been busy lately and don't have time to supervise in person. "
Tina dropped these two sentences, no longer responding to Adonis' questioning, as if she had disappeared into the void of the internet. Let's make a run for it. Dylan gently tapped Adonis's thigh with the back of his hand, bringing the person lost in his thoughts back to reality.
Adonis glanced at his empty cup, realizing he had been biting on the straw the whole time.
Boss, how much is this cup? "
30 dollars. "
Adonis quickly took out his phone to complete the payment, pushed open the door, and walked towards Dylan, who was already standing at the door holding an umbrella.
On the way back to the dormitory, Adonis couldn't stop thinking about Tina's puzzling words.
It seems like he has a one-sided crush on you. "
The onlooker sees most of the game. "
