BXBX NOVEL Chapter 79.1: Wei Xiao: Damn it, he had so many love rivals!
He was worried that Wei Xiao was being too careless and wouldn’t be concerned even if he’d hurt himself.
Wei Xiao abruptly came back to his senses, “Ah?”
Lu Feng said, “Sit down.”
Wei Xiao, who’d just been knocked over by his own thoughts, sat down on the bed. Lu Feng bent down and pressed his clean, slender hand over his ankle, “Does it hurt?”
Wei Xiao’s brain was buzzing. It had exploded.
Lu Feng looked up at him, “Hm?”
Wei Xiao’s cheeks turned red, and his voice trembled, “Itchy…” It was so itchy. The place that the captain was touching was so itchy that it made his heart jump around wildly.
Lu Feng quickly snatched his hand back, his movements so fast it was like he’d been scalded.
Wei Xiao might claim to be a beast, but he’d never thought that he’d really be such an animal. He took a deep breath and jumped out of bed, saying, “It doesn’t hurt, it’s fine. I’m going to go blow-dry my hair!”
A whole pot of hot water seemed to be boiling in Lu Feng’s brain. How could he continue the conversation?
After hiding in the bathroom, Wei Xiao lifted his hand and pressed down on his heart.
God, were human hearts really able to beat so fast?
Was it f*cking dancing and bouncing around in Laozi’s body?!
Wei Xiao couldn’t keep his gaze from shifting down. He stared at his left ankle.
The scene from just now popped into his head repeatedly, pew pew pew.
The captain looked gentle and handsome. His hands, which were known as the most expensive and good looking hands, had held onto his ankle…
A numbing electric shock ran all the way from his ankle all over his body, making his cheeks burn hot.
Wei Xiao looked at the ‘feverish’ self in the mirror. He took a deep breath: Who exactly had caught a cold here?!
Ahhhhh…
Wei Xiao turned on the hair dryer, switching the settings to cold air and blowing it straight at his head.
Calm down!
Old Wei, calm the hell down!
That was the captain! It was Close, it was Glory’s number one person. That was the faith that you chased!
After splashing himself with cold water and blowing dry his damp hair with cold air, Wei Xiao ‘achieved his wish’ and sneezed loudly.
The hair dryer wasn’t loud. The sound of his sneezing transmitted into the room.
Lu Feng came back to his senses and started to worry again––had he caught a cold? His face was so red just now, did he have a fever?
Lu Feng wanted to go take a look, but after he placed his hand on the handle, he couldn’t bring himself to press down.
He’d wait for a bit, wait until he was finished blow-drying his hair and came back out.
Wei Xiao finished blow-drying his hair and successfully calmed himself down.
It was just that he was a little cold now. It seemed that the temperature had dropped a lot.
As soon as he came out, Lu Feng handed him a cup of hot water, “Did you catch a cold?”
Wei Xiao accepted the hot water. He was just about to say no when he sneezed again.
Lu Feng’s eyebrows drew together, “Did you take a cold shower just now?”
Wei Xiao raised his head. His eyes were full of damp mist, “Mm…”
The hotel had a special shower room for guests coming out of the sea. Wei Xiao didn’t want to track sand and sediment into the building, so he’d rinsed himself with the water downstairs.
Although it was winter in China, it was summer on the island. The water temperature was cool, and Wei Xiao had felt very comfortable during the shower.
Lu Feng continued to ask, “Did you run up here before drying off?”
Wei Xiao had been anxious to come up and see the captain, so he’d only wiped himself down briefly before running upstairs.
Lu Feng thought about his damp hair and knew that he wasn’t wrong.
“Wait.”
Lu Feng pressed him down onto the bed.
Wei Xiao was so regretful he could die. If he hadn’t blown cold air at himself just now, he wouldn’t have caught a cold.
But, at the time, if he hadn’t done so, he was afraid that he might have done some sort of beastly thing!
Ahhhhh.
Had he gone crazy.
How could he be attracted to the captain!
It wasn’t spring yet. Why was he thinking of falling in love!
And it was with Close, damnit…
Wei Xiao nestled inside the quilt and felt that he was mostly done for.
A 19 year old youth. He’d lived to such an age without ever thinking about such things.
Yet suddenly, when he picked up a crush, it was for another man.
Wei Xiaoxiao, who wasn’t even afraid of the heavens and earth, was quaking now.
What to do…
He was too ashamed to see the captain!
Lu Feng soon came back with a bowl of ginger tea in his hands.
Xiang Liu always had standard medicine on hand. He’d brought some of it upstairs but didn’t rush to feed it to Wei Xiao. If he’d caught a cold, he should drink some ginger tea first to warm up, and it should reduce the severity of whatever he had.
When Wei Xiao heard the door open, he simply decided to close his eyes.
He was too ashamed to see him and closed his eyes for a while.
Lu Feng’s movements were very light. His voice was gentle, seeming to sound out right beside his ear, “Asleep?”
Wei Xiao: “……”
F*ck, why didn’t he feel that the captain’s voice was charged with electricity before this?!
Wei Xiao opened his eyes with a swish, looking at him with wide eyes.
Lu Feng coaxed him, “Drink a bowl of ginger tea and get some sleep. You’ll be fine by afternoon.”
Wei Xiao sat up and looked at the steaming, hot bowl of tea. His mood was complicated, “Captain… weren’t you the one who caught a cold.”
Lu Feng had forgotten all about this. He’d pretended to be sick earlier just to stay out of the water.
Lu Feng faked a cough, “You shouldn’t catch a cold as well.”
Wei Xiao didn’t want to drink the ginger tea. He was hesitating and dragging out his motions.
Lu Feng saw through it, “You don’t like the spiciness?”
This kid was very picky about food. He didn’t like spicy, sour, bitter, or even particularly salty tastes. He liked to eat watermelon, the crispy and sweet type, and would treat half a watermelon as a full meal. It was no wonder that he was so thin.
Not only did Wei Xiao dislike spiciness, he also felt that the fire in his heart was a little too strong and drinking ginger tea wasn’t appropriate.
As a lonely, single man in the shared dormitory, he was afraid that the captain would be in danger.
Lu Feng tasted it, “There’s sugar in it. The taste isn’t bad.”
Wei Xiao: “……”
Lu Feng continued, “I’ll go get more sugar…”
How could he be willing to let the captain run around for him twice? Even before Lu Feng could finish speaking, Wei Xiao had picked up the tea bowl, closed his eyes, and downed it all in one go.
Spicy… hot… and a little sweet.
Wei Xiao frowned and set down the bowl, “Done!”
Lu Feng looked at the damp lip stains that were overlapped on the tea bowl, and his eyes flashed.
Wei Xiao only realized after the fact that the place where he’d drunk the ginger tea from coincided with the place where Lu Feng had sipped from before to taste it.
An in-indirect kiss?
Wei Xiao: “!”
He didn’t mean to, he really hadn’t meant to!
Even though he indeed had hidden intentions.
Lu Feng set down the tea bowl and covered him with the quilt, “Rest for a while.”
Wei Xiao was well-behaved and lay down, looking at him, “What about you, captain?”
“Your throat is uncomfortable. Did you take some medicine?”
“Yes.”
“Won’t you rest for a while?”
Lu Feng: “…….”
Wei Xiao felt that he was going crazy, “Stay and keep me company?”
Lu Feng looked at his cheeks that were flushed from his cold. His heart leapt.
Wei Xiao felt like he’d died after he said those words.
However, he was worthy of being Naughty God Wei; his mouth was braver than his brain, “Since we both have a cold, isn’t it better to sleep together and sweat it out?”
Wei Xiao was shocked at himself: F*ck, Laozi was really a beast!
Lu Feng really didn’t dare to agree. This brat’s mouth had no filter and was willing to joke about anything, but he couldn’t do the same.
If they slept together in this kind of situation…
Lu Feng flicked his forehead, “Sleep.”
It wasn’t the first or even the second time that Wei Xiao had had his forehead flicked, but it was the first time it made his eyebrows feel itchy, so itchy that he grew brave again, “Are you going to leave?”
Lu Feng: “I’ll wait until you’re asleep.”
Wei Xiao’s mouth was filled with sweetness, like the ginger tea just now had transformed into honey tea. “When I was a child and caught a cold, my grandma would also keep me company like this.”
Lu Feng: “…….”
Wei Xiao was more energetic the more he thought about it, “And she’d put her hand here.”
He reached out his arm and placed Lu Feng’s hand on his forehead.
Both of them were stunned for a moment.
Wei Xiao’s forehead wasn’t hot, but Lu Feng’s hand was very hot.
One of them felt scalded, and the other one… also felt scalded.
Lu Feng retrieved his hand, “Sleeping or not?”
Wei Xiao felt incredibly guilty, “Sleeping!”
And he really fell asleep…
He’d slept late and gotten up early because he’d been excited about playing in the water that morning.
Additionally, he’d really caught a bit of a cold and dazedly fell asleep.
Wei Xiao had a dream.
In just one hour, he actually managed to have a very long dream.
He dreamed that he was standing on a stage filled with bright lights, holding the dazzling championship cup as he spoke to Lu Feng, “I like you!”
All the glory, all the passion of youth, all given to this one person.
The one who’d pulled him out of the mud and given him new life.
Close.
His captain.
When Wei Xiao woke up, Lu Feng was long gone.
He looked at the time and was relieved; it was only twelve o’clock, so there was no need to panic.
Bai Cai came to find him to go eat together.
Wei Xiao was absent-minded as he played with his cell phone.
Brother Cai had also gone to catch up on sleep. He yawned, “What are you looking at?”
Wei Xiao was startled and quickly hid away his cell phone.
Brother Cai was suspicious, “So mysterious. What are you doing.”
Wei Xiao pushed him away, “Go and get some food. Laozi’s hungry.”
Bai Cai’s words were full of disdain for him, “Don’t you f*cking have hands of your own!” But his body was honest, and he brought back a lot of delicious food.
Wei Xiao was very busy. He sat down and started to baidu seriously.
He didn’t quite remember the dream he’d had that noon very clearly, but the idea that remained on the tip of his heart was–– like you.
F*ck, he liked Lu Feng. He liked Close. He liked the captain!
It was that kind of like. Exactly, the gay type of like!
Aftre three seconds of psychological struggle, Wei Xiao accepted the fact that he was gay.
In any case, he hadn’t liked anyone before in his first 19 years of life. Now, he liked who he liked.
It didn’t matter if it was male or female. The important point was that it was the captain.
After recognizing his own feelings, Wei Xiao had countless concerns.
First of all, he’d fallen in love with his immediate boss. Office romance, give it a try?
Secondly, he’d fallen in love with his life mentor. Teacher-student (not really) romance, give it a try?
Thirdly, he’d fallen in love with a man who had tens of thousands of madame fans and wife fans. Idol romance, give it a try?
Lastly, he’d fallen in love with a man whose sexual orientation was unknown. Unrequited love, give it a try?
Ah…
Wei Xiao’s life was too difficult.
Baidu was going to explode from his searches.
A furtive office romance was very sweet, a teacher-student love was taboo and a little abusive, idol love was risky and may affect his reputation, finally, being lovelorn…
Well, who would’ve thought that there wasn’t even the slightest sign of the start of a romance, but Wei Xiaoxiao had already started looking through how to recover from a failed romance.
Preparation averts peril.
After all, there was a 70% chance of failure.
It was about the same rate as his solo games against the captain.
After searching through these things, Wei Xiao switched to a new set of keywords––Close, romance.
Tens of thousands of results popped up, and there were even YY novels:
My secret love affair with God Lu.
I’m God Lu’s only woman.
Those years as Close’s hidden lover.
I got married to God Lu.
Wei Xiao: “……”
Damn it, he had so many love rivals!
He changed keywords again––Close, same sex.
Oh, geez. There were even more results. As a man with a list of CPs as long as the Great Wall, he ‘loved’ a countless number of men!
What the hell could he find like this.
Let alone sexual orientation, just searching like this left Wei Xiao with a mouthful of vinegar.
When Brother Cai came back, Wei Xiao was still staring at his cell phone.
“Are you eating or not!” He couldn’t figure out what this fellow had gone off to do this time.
Wei Xiao put down his cell phone and started to eat absentmindedly.
Bai Cai: “Eat if you’re going to eat. Don’t waste food if you’re not eating.”
Wei Xiao really didn’t have much of an appetite. He looked at the innocent Brother Cai and sighed, “I envy you.”
Brother Vegetable: “???”
Wei Xiao shook his head and ate some pasta.
Telling him was impossible. He couldn’t tell anyone about this, including Brother Cai.
The captain’s identity was too special. He was afraid that if he didn’t handle things well, FTW, which had only just barely started to stand up again, would collapse.
He couldn’t ruin so many people’s dreams with his own selfish desires.
Wei Xiao knew what was important.
He’d take his time…
Wei Xiao comforted himself: The one who’d started an office romance spent half a year testing things out; the teacher-student relationship was even more fierce and had only confessed after graduation; as for the idol romance, oh, that was a light novel and couldn’t be used as reference for real life.
In any case, he could see, eat, sleep, and live with the captain every day. It was like they were in a relationship even if they weren’t.
Hold on! Brother Xiao, you can still win!
xiin: so… who else guessed that WX would be like an energizer bunny on crack once he figured out his feelings?
