What to do when dating a gloomy roommate online

Chapter 9 Secret

The beast slowly opens its eyes in the dark

The little sister came back from the phone call, and regretfully told Yu Zhong that she had something to do and couldn't play today.

Silence: Wait until you are free tomorrow night.Is there anyone else looking for you?I pay the reservation fee.

ADE: No.I'll send you a message when the time comes XD;

The little sister's serious tone was particularly playful, and Yu Zhong's tone was very kind.

Silence: Down.

ADE: Bye.

The two left the transaction in Xianyu, and after the order was closed, there was an additional positive comment on the interface.Yu Zhong reposted the link and took another order, earning 120 yuan in one afternoon.

The depression caused by Mercury retrograde in the morning was swept away. After turning off the computer, Yu Zhong stretched his waist, changed his clothes and went out.

It seemed to have stopped raining in the afternoon, but the sky was still cloudy and the night was coming faster than usual.Yu Zhong jogged around the nearby small playground, and ordered a small self-service hot pot for one person in the cafeteria before checking the time.

The difference between college and high school is that there are fewer groups of people.Everyone has their own life and learning trajectory. Those who are in pairs are almost lovers, and most of the others act alone, and there are diners who are alone everywhere.Yu Zhong took the tray and found a clean corner to sit down, and familiarized himself with his pre again while eating.

The thought of giving a speech in front of two or three hundred people in more than an hour, although it only lasted five or six minutes, was enough to make him nervous enough to break out in a cold sweat.

This tension lasted until the moment before he took the stage.Yu Zhong didn't remember how he arrived at the auditorium. After entering the corresponding lecture hall, his mentality was always a little tense, and his face probably didn't look very good, because the counselor and other students he met expressed affirmation to him. caring greetings.

"Xiao Yu, are you okay?"

This time, the one who asked him was a girl from the same class as him who worked as an assistant counselor, and she was also standing in a row with him on the side of the podium.

"It's okay." Yu Zhong was embarrassed to say that he was nervous, and responded vaguely to the other party, keeping his eyes on the big screen, silently counting when it would be his turn.

Suddenly something poked his arm lightly.Yu Zhong turned his head and saw that it was a Xuanmai.

"Give you this."

Facing Yu Zhong's confused gaze, the girl smiled, with a little encouragement, "Chewing it can relieve tension, try it."

With a bit of punctured nervous embarrassment and gratitude for the other party's kindness, Yu Zhong whispered thank you, took the chewing gum, opened it, and slowly put it in his mouth.

He didn't know whether it was due to psychological effects or scientific factors, but his mentality gradually calmed down. It was his turn after 10 minutes. Yu Zhong wrapped the chewing gum in wrapping paper and threw it into the trash can behind him. After thinking for a while, he took off his glasses and walked calmly to the podium.

Without glasses, every face on the stage was blurred, and he no longer had that glowing feeling. He didn't realize that he had successfully completed the pre until the audience applauded loudly.

"It's great!" After coming down from the podium, the girl who gave him chewing gum patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Will my method work?"

Yu Zhong nodded slightly, feeling much more relaxed, and also showed a grateful smile from the bottom of his heart, "It works."

The counselor was still giving the closing speech of the lecture on the podium. Yu Zhong had a conversation with several counselor assistants, and left when he saw that he had nothing to do.

Going back to the dormitory from the auditorium, you have to turn over a hill with a gentle slope. The hillside is full of green plants, the shadows of trees are dancing, and the path paved with stone slabs is hidden.If you don't want to take a long way around the road, generally everyone will choose to climb mountains.

It may be because many people have gone to the lecture at this time, and it has rained, there are few people on the mountain, the lights are dim, and the path winds to a dark distance, and no voice can be heard.

With earphones inserted in both ears, Yu Zhong walked slowly along the path to the top of the slope with a relaxed expression.

Not far behind him, a black figure slowly walked out from the shade of the trees.

The man followed behind him, approaching silently.

Yu Zhong was unconscious, humming a song, and pushed aside the branches blocking the road.

At this moment, the black shadow behind him was only thirty centimeters away from him.

Yu Zhong seemed to have remembered something funny, with a faint smile on his lips.His eyes were as bright as if they had been washed by water, and his expression was innocent, unaware of the danger.

Black Shadow raised his hand.

The orientation lecture of the Faculty of Law was also held in the auditorium on the other side of the auditorium, and it ended at eight o'clock.Before that, Qi Yuechen had already found an excuse to say hello to the teacher and left early.

Tonight is a moonless night, the campus is very quiet, and students riding bicycles occasionally pass by on the road, each in a hurry.

The night is also a good way to hide a person's disguise.After coming out of the auditorium, the faint smile on Qi Yuechen's face disappeared, and it was replaced by an expression that was so indifferent that no emotion could be seen.He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, picked out one skillfully and lit it.

Dressed in black, he stood silently in the shadows where the light could not reach, and only a little spark and a thin wisp of blue smoke could be seen in the distance.

A bicycle full of laughter passed in front of him, and a girl who bowed her head and memorized words passed by him, and no one noticed that there was a person standing beside him.

I don't know how long it took, maybe a few seconds or maybe a few 10 minutes, a soft sound from behind startled him.

"So you're here." The boy smiled timidly.

Qi Yuechen still held a cigarette between his fingers, examining the boy in front of him.

I haven't seen it, I don't know it.

In the dark, there was no smile on his face, and even a bit of displeasure at being interrupted.

He quietly put out the cigarette, took a step forward, and walked into the range illuminated by the street lights, with that polite smile on his face again, as if the indifferent boy in the dark was another person, " What's up?"

Seeing his face clearly, the boy breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the oppression he felt just now might be just an illusion, "I've been looking for you just now, should we go back together and talk slowly on the way? I want to ask you something about the tennis club. thing."

Qi Yuechen looked down at the boy.She is not ugly, she is pretty, she has put on makeup, she has put on a thin powder, and her eyebrows are very neatly trimmed. She is not the type I like, but I don't reject it either.Facing his gaze, the boy's expression changed from very natural to slightly uneasy.

He could see through the other party's real purpose at a glance, but he was too lazy to expose it.

But now, he is really annoying.

The kind that doesn't want to talk.

I don't even want to continue to maintain the disguise.

There was silence between the two.

The boy became more and more uneasy.

Until Qi Yuechen caught a glimpse of a familiar figure not far away, and the person who followed behind him secretly.

"The tennis club is recruiting new students this Wednesday, and there will be a meet and greet at 3A205 of Yijiao. You can come then." Qi Yuechen glanced at the boy and responded lightly.

The boy couldn't hide his disappointment, "Okay, I'll come when the time comes. Will you be there?"

Qi Yuechen's tone was slightly perfunctory, "If you have time."

The boy let out an "oh" and walked in the opposite direction dejectedly.

Qi Yuechen played with the lighter that he hadn't taken back, looked thoughtfully at the direction where Yu Zhong disappeared, and stood still.After hesitating for dozens of seconds between "go and have a look" and "too lazy to take care of it", he finally lifted his feet and walked towards the road on the hillside.

He walked neither fast nor slow, with little empathy for what was going to happen next.If he arrives just in time, it is the other party's luck; if he is late, he can only say sorry.

The more you go up, the more you can hear the movement that is not calm.

late?

Qi Yuechen seemed to hear a scream.

Qi Yuechen pushed aside the treetops that blocked his view, and walked into the depths of the shade.

Until he saw the scene in front of him clearly.

A boy with a pimple face was subdued to the ground with his hands cut behind his back, half of his face was sunk in the mud, and he was kneeling and crawling on the ground, eating dense fists and kicks without any power to fight back. It was simply a one-sided fight beaten.

Qi Yuechen also knew the person who put his foot on the opponent's back and pulled the boy's hair with one hand, beating the opponent until he screamed.

The man hadn't noticed anyone coming nearby, and Qi Yuechen's expression was so cruel that he had never seen before, without saying a word, he punched straight in one direction.

The thick clouds thinned out at some point, and the moon rose high.

The moonlight shines through the gaps in the clouds, and everything in the darkness becomes invisible.

Only then did Qi Yuechen see that Yu Zhong had taken off his shirt before beating him up.

Topless.

And his attention is not on the beautiful outline presented in the dark.

From the moment he realized it, he had never seen Yu Zhong wearing short sleeves, nor had he seen his skin showing beyond his wrist, and he had never been curious about it.

Now, off guard, he saw the other's secret.

Maybe it's a secret.

That is a tattoo, the pattern is simple and elegant yet powerful, as freehand as a landscape.

Vigorous branches and vines slowly sprouted along the slender waist, slowly blooming, and bloomed on the left shoulder.The new shoots are climbing jaggedly on the left collarbone.

The thorns swept over the arms on both sides like green smoke, leaving just the right amount of white space.

Such a pattern, appearing on a boy who is usually gentle and calm, is so inconsistent, and so... fit.

That moment.

Qi Yuechen sensed that a certain beast dormant in his heart slowly opened his eyes in the darkness.

The tip of his tongue pressed against the roof of his mouth, rolling slowly, his eyes were unscrupulous.

He didn't move forward, but changed his posture and folded his arms, continuing to watch from the sidelines.

At the same time, Yu Zhong seemed to feel something, slowly lowered his hand, and turned his face away.

There was still a surge of anger in his eyes.

Until—to meet Qi Yuechen's interested eyes.

An irrelevant third party crawled on the ground and begged for mercy.

Other than that, nothing happened.Everything is as silent as a movement that hits a rest.

The tattoo is a very beautiful plain flower pattern, the kind of Chinese style elements with alternate shades!
