Ji Ranxin raised his eyes and looked at Qin Yi. He saw that Qin Yi was also looking at the screen of his mobile phone. He should have seen Qu Hao’s name. His finger on the screen paused for a moment, then he swiped to the right and answered the call.
“Hello?” Ji Ranxin’s voice sounded in the narrow environment.
Outside the cubicle, Yu Panwen stopped knocking on the door, hesitated for a while, and then walked towards the next cubicle.
Qu Hao’s voice rang from the phone’s receiver: “Where are you?”
Ji Ranxin looked into Qin Yi’s eyes. He was a little unsure whether Qin Yi could hear what Qu Hao said clearly since the two of them were so close. He said into his mobile phone: “I’m self-studying at school, is there anything wrong?”
Qu Hao’s voice became louder: “What are you self-studying for, ah? Come out and play games with me.”
At this time, the sound of flushing water just sounded in the next cubicle, almost drowning out Qu Hao’s voice. Then, the door next door opened, and someone walked out.
Yu Panwen looked at the stranger who just came out. He was stunned for a moment.
The man also glanced at Yu Panwen inexplicably, even forgetting to wash his hands before walking out.
Ji Ranxin looked into Qin Yi’s eyes and said to Qu Hao, “I don’t want to play games.”

Ji Ranxin paused for a moment. Yu Panwen’s footsteps sounded outside again. Now, except for their closed door, there was no one else in the entire bathroom.
Yu Panwen began to feel uncertain. He only saw two people coming in. From behind, he thought that one of them was Qin Yi. But now he was sure that the people in the two cubicles were not Qin Yi. It was impossible for Qin Yi to hide with someone else in the same cubicle, right?
He rubbed his head and realized that he couldn’t remember what the two people who came in just now were wearing, so he turned around and walked out with some annoyance.
When Yu Panwen left, Qin Yi was not in a hurry to come out. Ji Ranxin was still on a phone call with Qu Hao. He said, “You still want to drink this late?”
Qu Hao said to him: “I just got dumped. Shouldn’t you accompany me?”
Ever since he was rejected by Zeng Xiaolin face-to-face that night, Qu Hao has been acting a little depressed. Ji Ranxin had also been avoiding him since he accompanied him that night. He had no intention of taking advantage of Qu Hao’s emptiness, so he thought of a way not to see him sad about his broken love.
Ji Ranxin knew that he was a bit cruel. He was ruthless to others as well as to himself, but in matters like feelings, the more entangled they were, the deeper they would get, and the greater the harm they would go through in the future. He was afraid of this.
But he often also thought that maybe it was because he didn’t love Qu Hao deeply enough. That kind of vigilant and restrained affection might not be called love at all, but just an attraction, and he was always trying to separate himself from it.
There were things that could pull him away, such as Qin Yi’s tempting face. He sincerely liked Qin Yi and wanted to stay with Qin Yi. This was not exactly the same as his feelings for Qu Hao, but it was also similar to his attraction to him. He might even surpass Qu Hao one day.
When Qin Yi heard that Yu Panwen was already walking away, he reached out to open the door.
Ji Ranxin grabbed his hand, not wanting to let him go. At the same time, he said to Qu Hao, “Later. I’ll read some more.”
Qin Yi grabbed his wrist and twisted it a little hard to make him let go.
As a result, Ji Ranxin groaned in pain.
Qin Yi stopped moving. Qu Hao asked over there: “What’s wrong?”
Ji Ranxin said to Qu Hao, “It’s nothing. I’ll give you a call after reading these few pages.” After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Qin Yi had already walked out in large strides.
Ji Ranxin hurriedly caught up with him. He put his cell phone into his jacket pocket and called him in a low voice: “Qin Yi.”
Qin Yi did not respond to him but went directly back to the classroom and sat down in his previous seat.
Ji Ranxin sat down next to him and looked at him, “Why are you unhappy?”
Qin Yi just said: “Still not leaving?”
Ji Ranxin whispered: “If you don’t want me to go, I won’t go.”
Qin Yi said coldly: “Go.”
Ji Ranxin looked at him silently for a while, grabbed the books on the table, stood up, and walked out of the classroom.
After Ji Ranxin left, Qin Yi stared at the book for less than five minutes, then reached out to close the book and stood up, wanting to go out for a smoke.
As he walked out of the classroom, he remembered that he hadn’t brought a cigarette with him for a long time, hesitating whether to go outside to buy a pack of cigarettes or not. As a result, as soon as he reached the classroom door, he saw someone standing against the wall outside the classroom door.
Ji Ranxin looked at him with a smile and said, “Yi-ge, wanna go for a late-night snack? I still want to eat late-night snacks with you.”
Oh, boys 🥺🥺
