LMBYE 5
"And you still say you're not dirty."
Ning Ci was scolded, and he felt very wronged.
Even though he had grown up enduring hardships and never complained while learning mystical arts from his master, Ling Feng, his master had always favored him due to his extraordinary talent. Unlike his strict teaching methods for other disciples, Ling Feng never hesitated to praise Ning Ci. Because of this, Ning Ci hadn't been scolded by someone close to him in a long time.
Zhang Yang, observing from the side, was internally panicking. He feared that his brother Lou Zhengduo had offended this mysterious new classmate and that he, too, would end up with an invisible sword of misfortune hanging over his head—just like him.
In an act of brotherly protection, Zhang Yang solemnly said, "Here… you can have my food. It’s really good."
Ning Ci: "…"
Lou Zhengduo, who had been eating his meal, suddenly paused. He looked at the young priest eating so delicately, barely disturbing his plate, and then at Zhang Yang's meal, which looked like a disaster zone. He felt a strange dissatisfaction.
Tang Yuan, scared by Lou Zhengduo's expression, quickly tried to mediate: "If you’re still hungry, just tell me. Don’t eye someone else’s food. Here, take this—don’t say I don’t take care of you."
With that, he stuffed his other chicken leg into Zhang Yang’s mouth.
Zhang Yang tragically pulled the chicken leg out and, with a serious tone, said, "Lou-ge, you don’t understand. I’m doing this for your own good."
Lou Zhengduo’s face darkened.
What did he mean? Was he helping him take care of this unwanted admirer?
He didn't mind since he was straight, but what about that little pervert? If he really liked someone, how could he just switch targets so easily? …Wait, hadn't he just been staring at another guy while getting food earlier?
Maybe he really would accept it. But then, why did he say that stuff to me before? And with such a casual attitude? Could it be… that wasn’t his first time saying such things?!
Lou Zhengduo felt his world crumbling. Turns out, his bias against gay people wasn’t extreme at all—he was right all along! How shameless!!
"You are completely impure. You… you’re not even an adult!" Lou Zhengduo looked like a relic from the feudal era, ready to throw Ning Ci into a punishment cage.
Ning Ci blinked his innocent peach blossom eyes. Even though he didn’t understand what was going on, he decided not to argue. After all, he wasn’t good at socializing, and considering how often he unintentionally pissed people off, he figured it was better to say less.
Tang Yuan couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up for Ning Ci: "Lou-ge, Zhang Yang is talking nonsense—why are you scolding our school flower?"
It wasn’t like he wanted to betray his friends, but Ning Ci was just too well-behaved!
"I agree, Lou-ge, don’t scold him," Zhang Yang said with a pained expression. Meanwhile, Chen Jue gave him a look that screamed, "You little brat, you dare to steal Lou-ge’s admirer?"
Luckily, Zhang Yang quickly added, "If you scold him, you’ll have bad luck—just like that old bald monk."
Lou Zhengduo was just about to force him to swear he’d never ‘become sisters’ when he heard this and froze.
Everyone: This guy is the real feudal relic.
Zhang Yang defended himself: "What kind of normal person can draw a perfect circle like a human printer? I bet his circles are even more precise than a computer's!"
The truth was, Ning Ci had trained in drawing talismans since childhood. His master used to hang a bucket of water from each of his wrists and make him practice tirelessly, which resulted in his extremely steady hands. But saying that outright wouldn’t sound very believable, so he softened the explanation:
"I had to practice calligraphy from a young age, so I trained my hand stability. It’s nothing special."
Zhang Yang was momentarily speechless before asking the question that truly concerned him: "So… will I have bad luck?"
Ning Ci wanted to ask Lou Zhengduo to return his five-coin talisman. Those three particular five-coin pieces were different—his master had enchanted them with special divination power. If he used them for an I Ching reading, the results would be extremely accurate. However, he had just denied any supernatural explanations, and if he asked for the coins back now, he’d expose himself. So, he settled for a quick face-reading instead.
Zhang Yang had a broad forehead, just like Lou Zhengduo, indicating strong moral values and a bright future. He also had 'Big Dipper' eyebrows, symbolizing longevity and fortune. With his righteous personality and strong yang energy, he shouldn’t encounter bad luck anytime soon.
"You’ll be fine."
A great weight lifted off Zhang Yang’s heart. Nice! Now he could get back to reading his favorite novels!
Though it was a bit embarrassing to admit, Zhang Yang was the kind of guy who’d get teary-eyed in bed if he didn’t read his fill of dominant CEO novels every day.
That night, as Ning Ci returned to his dorm, he noticed a group of ghosts gathering outside. They were all single guys, and they were pissed.
"Brothers! Tonight, we have to take back the dance floor!"
"Yeah! Yesterday, those dead old hags took over two spots! Two! And they still wanted more! Unbelievable!"
"Let’s show them what This Is Street Dance really means! Remember how Old Wang got a girlfriend by showing off his moves? Now that he’s gone, it’s our time to shine!"
"Wait, why isn’t Old Wang here?"
"He got karma for showing off his relationship too much. Went on a date and ran into the Grim Reaper. Burnt his butt pretty bad."
Hearing them call women "old hags," Ning Ci frowned. Just as he was about to open the door, he hesitated.
…So these guys were all single ghosts? Who would've thought.
He glanced outside and saw the field full of female ghosts getting ready for an intense dance battle.
Ning Ci: "…"
So that was the so-called campus horror story about shadowy figures on the track at night? It was just a bunch of ghosts having a dance-off?
Feeling cold, he knocked on the door next door.
Inside, Lou Zhengduo was leaning against the window, a cigarette between his fingers. He was skeptical about all the ghost rumors. But just as he was about to dismiss it, he heard a knock and a soft voice:
"Hello, It is Ning Ci. Can I come in?"
Lou Zhengduo’s nerves immediately went on high alert.
Was this guy… seriously coming to his dorm at night? For that?
His mind short-circuited.
Then, the door opened, Lou Zhengdu held a cigarette in his mouth and opened the door with a sullen look on his face. and there stood Ning Ci in soft white pajamas, looking slightly damp from a shower. His skin was fair, and his sleepy, innocent eyes shimmered under the light. There was even a... very ugly rabbit sewn on the pocket of his shirt. However, the wearer's good looks made the clothes look several levels higher, making the ugly rabbit look like an ugly and cute rabbit.
Ning Ci looked up at him and sweetly said, "I brought you a gift."
Lou Zhengduo: Danger. Danger. This guy is lethal.
The mean tall boy deliberately blew a puff of smoke slightly towards him, interrupting his seduction spell.
But Lou Zhengdu inexplicably became irritated.
Damn, this person is obviously wearing quite a lot of clothes, so how does he gives off a seductive vibe???
Ning Ci glared at him: "Stop smoking, I don't like it."
In fact, Lou Zhengdu had only learned this not long ago because he himself hated the smell of cigarettes. But for some reason, Lou Zhengdu has been restless and irritable during this period of time, and he always has a feeling that something bad is going to happen. So Lou Zhengdu would only light up a cigarette when he was really manic and depressed.
And now he is bullying Ning Ci purely because Lou Zhengdu wants to show off.
Lou Zhengdu suddenly felt happy and felt as if he had a serious illness. He found that he liked seeing this little charlatan showing an expression that was different from before, especially when he made the little charlatan angry like now, but he still blamed him with a serious face. He felt a sense of accomplishment.
Lou Zhengdu raised his eyebrows, took out his cell phone to check the time, then said frivolously, "Oh."
"At 8:56 pm on August 21st, classmate Ning Ci expressed his important opinion that he doesn't like the smell of smoke."
The implication is, who do you think you are? I don't care whether you like it or not.
Lou Zhengdu thought nastily, which straight guy smells so good? Anyway, he is not gay, and he just hopes Ning Ci doesn't like him.
Ning Ci was not angry, and said in a good temper: "Smoking is bad for your health. If you smoke for a long time, you will age more quickly, it will be bad for your lungs, it may also cause some cardiovascular diseases, and the quality of sperm will also decline."
When Lou Zhengdu heard the previous part, he still looked indifferent, until Ning Ci said the last half of the sentence calmly, he choked, put down the cigarette quickly and coughed.
Ning Ci went straight to his hand and held the cigarette butt in his hand: "I'll help you put it out."
"F*ck!"
Lou Zhengdu was so scared that he stopped coughing and quickly turned the boy's hand over to see if he was burned by the cigarette butt.
The strange thing is that the boy's palms are still white, without even a trace of cigarette ash.
The boy's palms were very soft, and he looked like a matcha-flavored snow meringue dumpling. Lou Zhengdu could completely cover him with one hand, but his knuckles did not have calluses from "practicing calligraphy since childhood" as Ning Ci had said in the morning.
Lou Zhengdu was stunned for a moment, and then cursed: "Are you sick?"
Ning Ci, calling him a coquettish schemer, was unfair to him. Even though he is not scheming, he is a bit scheming.
Ning Ci made this move deliberately, scaring people so much that they even forgot the homophobia they had repeatedly emphasized and directly grabbed his hand. From the point where their skin touched, a stream of hot yang energy quickly poured into Ning Ci's meridians, and Ning Ci's palms instantly became warm.
Ning Ci withdrew his hand: "I'm fine, I didn't get close to him."
Because the Yin energy in Ning Ci's body was too heavy just now, the Yang fire would be extinguished when it encountered it. It's just like in horror movies, when a ghost comes, all the candles in the room are extinguished in an instant. It's the same principle.
The average person's body simply cannot bear so much negative energy, so of course they will get burned.
The warmth brought by the pure Yang energy made Ning Ci's face quickly heat up.
In order to get an intimate gesture, the little charlatan actually put out the fire with his bare hands.
Lou Zhengdu looked at Ning Ci's red cheeks with mixed feelings, and he immediately let go of Ning Ci's hand. Even though he is easy to manipulate, he doesn't like men after all. If he doesn't like men, he can't be ambiguous with them and give people hope, otherwise he would become a scumbag!
Lou Zhengdu immediately distanced himself from him: "What are you doing here? I didn't promise you anything during the day, so don't do anything...service."
The two words in the middle made him vague, but Ning Ci didn't shy away from it. He sidestepped into the door, took out the evil-repelling decree from his pocket, and quickly pasted it in Lou Zhengdu's room.
Lou Zhengdu was stunned: "You are acting quite well."
But he didn't like this kind of weird stuff. He frowned and wanted to take it off unappreciatively, but was stopped by Ning Ci.
"You'll sleep better if you keep it." Afraid that Lou Zhengdu wouldn't accept the truth, he said it tactfully.
Lou Zhengdu was stunned. He really hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time. And this tendency has become more and more serious recently, but God has been kind to him and he doesn't even have dark circles under his eyes. But how could Ning Ci know that? It’s strange.
He was puzzled and could only conclude that the boy liked him too much and wanted to take care of him. As a result, he happened to have insomnia.
Lou Zhengdu put down his hand that was about to lift the imperial edict, with an annoyed look on his face.
He didn't want to ruin the boy's sincerity, but he felt that his behavior was like keeping him hanging, like a scumbag, but he was obviously not that kind of person!
"Don't like me anymore, I'm a straight man," Lou Zhengdu said coldly.
Ning Ci blinked twice and said innocently: "I don't like you."
Lou Zhengdu: “…”
Are you kidding?
"Don't be stubborn."
After Lou Zhengdu said this, he suddenly felt embarrassed.
Because he thought this sentence sounded very familiar, like the kind of stupid novels that Zhang Yang liked to read, in which the male protagonist often said, "Girl, don't be stubborn, your eyes can't lie."
Zhang Yang sometimes learns it, and then he looks like an idiot. Now I have said that if I replace the same amount, I am also an idiot.
Lou Zhengdu suddenly became angry and embarrassed: "If you don't like me, then why do you keep pestering me?!"
He regretted it after he said it. It seemed that he had said it a bit too much, making Ning Ci look like a slut. He quickly eased the atmosphere and said a joke: "Are you greedy for my body?"
Ning Ci was silent.
Lou Zhengdu's expression began to turn ugly.
He didn't know how to refute, and he felt that Lou Zhengdu didn't wrongly accuse him, because he was indeed greedy for his yang energy. He always secretly took advantage of his yang energy without his permission. But in order to survive, Ning Ci had no choice.
Ning Ci felt guilty and softened his voice: "I'm sorry, but I'll be full after eating a little. It won't be too much trouble for you."
Lou Zhengdu's brain suddenly froze and half of his body went numb.
?
What are you talking about?
What does "eat a little" mean? ?
You fucking...and you still say you're not a little schemer.
