Several people waiting in the classroom saw this message and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Not long after, Yue Xingwen and his group returned to the classroom in the Course Selection Center. Ke Shaobin immediately came up and asked curiously, “Was the exam process difficult? What kind of dance did you do?”
Yu Xin took the initiative to say, “It’s a waltz of 8 people. We improvised some dance steps, and the final performance effect was quite good. Xingwen and Pingce led the dance in front, and I didn’t expect the two of them to dance so well.”
Ke Shaobin sighed with regret. “It’s a pity that I wasn’t at the scene and didn’t record this show.”
Xin Yan said lightly, “Anyway, if you leave the library in the future, you won’t be able to take the materials with you. It’s useless for you to record them, right?”
Ke Shaobin scratched his head. “It’s true.” He quickly regained his vitality and came to Yue Xingwen with a smile. “Otherwise, Xingwen and Pingce dance for a while, so that those of us who haven’t gone to the scene to watch the performance can have a good show?”
On the side, Zhang Xiaonian was also curious and said, “I haven’ seen senior brother Xingwen dancing yet.”
Yue Xingwen remembered the scene of Jiang Pingce hugging his waist at the dance show at that time, and the roots of his ears were slightly hot. He immediately refused, “No dancing. I practiced the dance for three consecutive days for this exam, my limbs are numb and my waist is about to break. I don’t have the strength to perform another show for you guys.”
Hearing this, Ke Shaobin immediately took back this suggestion thoughtfully. “I’m joking. You must be very tired, it’s 10 o’clock at night, go back and rest.”
The dance course started at 8 pm, which lasted for 3 days, and the library time was always 2 hours.
Yue Xingwen glanced up at the clock on the wall and said, “Everyone is dismissed, go back to rest, and gather at the entrance of the canteen in the morning before going to the next faculty.”

Everyone got up and left. Yue Xingwen walked to Yu Xin, took the initiative to stretch out his hand and his gaze was sincere as he said, “Senior sister Yu Xin, thank you this time. Your adaptation is great, and, in the past three days, you have stared at everyone to correct their actions one by one, I know, you’re the one who’s worked the hardest.”

The dormitory area of the library would be locked at 11 pm at night. The power and network would be cut off on time, and when they came to the dormitory at 10:20 pm at night, Jiang Pingce said, “Go and take a bath.”
Yue Xingwen was not polite, took 10 minutes to quickly take a bath, then sat on the edge of the bed, opened the tablet that came with the dormitory to scroll the forum. After a while, Jiang Pingce came out after taking a bath, and seeing Yue Xingwen scrolling the forum with his head down, Jiang Pingce picked up the hair dryer and sat next to Yue Xingwen, saying, “You didn’t blow dry your hair again.”
Yue Xingwen turned his head and wanted to take the hair dryer from the other party’s hand, but Jiang Pingce took the initiative to reach out and gently press his head, saying, “Don’t move, I’ll help you.”
Yue Xingwen immediately obediently stopped moving.
The sound of the buzzing hair dryer sounded in his ears. Jiang Pingce’s fingers gently passed through the gap in his hair, gently drying a strand of black hair. Xingwen’s hair was smooth and soft, and it felt particularly good. Jiang Pingce asked softly while blowing, “What are you looking at? WAnt to write a strategy again?”
Yue Xingwen coughed lightly, “I just scroll the forum casually and see the progress of the students’ courses. I’m not going to be able to write a strategy for Music and Dance courses, so I’ll just scroll the forum until the power goes out at 11 o’clock and then I’ll go to bed.”
Jiang Pingce quickly dried his hair with a hair dryer and whispered, “Put the tablet aside and lie down.”
Yue Xingwen was puzzled. “En?”
Jiang Pingce pointed to the bed next to him. “Didn’t you say that your waist is going to break from practicing dance? I’ll help you massage it.”
Yue Xingwen remembered that when his legs were sore and swollen in the dance class. Jiang Pingce did help him massage them, and this technique was not bad. The library would clear anything they got inside after the exam, and any injuries sustained during the exam could be recovered immediately after they returned to the library. He just said that his waist was about to break in order to refuse Ke Shaobin’s request, and now his body had actually recovered and he did not feel tired.
Yue Xingwen just wanted to refuse, but when he met Jiang Pingce’s gaze, he subconsciously obeyed and turned around to lie down on the bed.
The corners of Jiang Pingce’s lips lifted lightly as he reached out his hand and slowly kneaded Yue Xingwen’s shoulders.
The boy’s hand pressed all the way from the shoulder to be back and waist like magic. The originally stiff body muscles gradually became soft under his hand, and the whole body became relaxed and comfortable as if a layer of heavy shackles had been removed.
Yue Xingwen narrowed his eyes in enjoyment and asked in a low voice, “Where did you learn this?”
Jiang Pingce said in a low voice, “My mother is a professor of traditional Chinese medicine, and I usually watch her study acupuncture points, and I learned it in passing.”
Yue Xingwen rarely listened to Jiang Pingce mention his family, and when he heard this, he couldn’t help but praise, “No wonder it’s so comfortable. You just pressed the acupuncture point, right? I think this level of comfort is like being opened up to the two meridians of the artery and veins in the wuxia novel.”
Jiang Pingce chuckled. “The two meridians are not here.”
Yue Xingwen’s ears were red, “Give me some face, don’t expose me on the spot, okay?”
Jiang Pingce let out an ‘En’ and moved his hands down to help him massage his legs by the way. Xingwen’s legs were straight and slender, and his hips were also very beautiful. Jiang Pingce got a little carried away when he massaged it.
——I really want to monopolize this person.
He had already possessed Xingwen many times in his dreams, but every time he saw Yue Xingwen’s face with a bright smile and the trust in his eyes, he didn’t dare to overstep the bounds. Not to mention, he didn’t want to ruin the beautiful relationship between them.
That was why he used the way of boiling frogs in warm water to guide Yue Xingwen to slowly fall in love with him.
After so many years of companionship, it was about time for Xingwen to respond, right?
Time passed minute by minute, Jiang Pingce had just finished massaged Yue Xingwen’s calf when a piercing ringtone suddenly sounded in his ears, followed by a cold mechanical voice: “It’s time for the library to turn off the lights, please rest on time, good night.”
As soon as the words fell, the lights in the room ‘snapped’ and went off.
“Is it 11 o’clock so soon?” Yue Xingwen rolled over and fumbled in the dark to sit up, but he accidentally grabbed Jiang Pingce’s hand with this touch.
Jiang Pingce just wanted to stand up with his hands on the side of the bed, but was pulled by Yue Xingwen. His whole body lost its center of gravity, and fell towards the bed, falling firmly onto Yue Xingwen’s body.
“…” Yue Xingwen was caught off guard by this unexpected turn of event, and his mind was a little confused for a moment. Jiang Pingce reacted quickly, supporting his body slightly with his hand on both sides.
However, both of their legs were still entangled, and the bed underneath made a ‘creaking’ sound, obviously unable to bear the weight of two boys over one meter eighty.
There was only a fist distance between their chests, and Jiang Pingce’s rapid breathing gently sprayed on Yue Xingwen’s face.
Time suddenly stopped, Yue Xingwen’s cheeks felt hot as if they were going to burn. He grabbed the sheet nervously, pretending to be calm. “Sorry, I-I didn’t see it. It didn’t hurt, right?”
Jiang Pingce did not speak.
In the darkness, although he couldn’t see the other party clearly, Yue Xingwen felt Jiang Pingce’s gaze looking at him. The kind of gaze seemed to have a temperature, it was so hot that Yue Xingwen’s heartbeat was about to stop. For the first time since he was a child, he encountered this kind of helpless scene, not knowing whether he should push Jiang Pingce away or do something about it. What should he do?
It was dark in the quiet dormitory, but you could clearly feel the other party’s breathing.
The warm breath gently brushed on his face, tickling him. Yue Xingwen was motionless, frozen there like a statue. He didn’t know how long it took, and Jiang Pingce sighed softly, his voice seemed to be a little hoarse, and asked carefully, “Xingwen, your whole body is stiff, you… hate being close to me?”
Yue Xingwen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously denied, “It’s not that I hate it, I just think that, right now, in this position… seems a little strange? *Cough*, do you want to go back to your side first?”
Jiang Pingce pressed him on the bed, and the distance between them was only a few centimeters, it was too ambiguous.
Yue Xingwen’s heartbeat was getting faster and faster. In the darkness, he couldn’t see Jiang Pingce’s expression. Soon, the feeling on his body suddenly loosened, Jiang Pingce stood up and propped up on the edge of the bed, and after a crackling sound, Jiang Pingce turned around and went to the next bed and whispered, “It’s good that you don’t hate it. Sleep.”
Yue Xingwen hummed, and grabbed the quilt to cover himself.
That night, he had another dream, which was full of Jiang Pingce. Both of them hugged each other and spun on the dance floor… There was only them on the entire stage, dancing to the end, Yue Xingwen tripped over his feet, and Jiang Pingce’s body suddenly lost its center of gravity, directly crushing him on the stage.
The distance between the two was getting closer, staring at each other through their masks.
Then…
Yue Xingwen sat up abruptly and broke out in a cold sweat.
At the end of the dream, Jiang Pingce kissed him tenderly.
Fuck! Is he crazy? He actually dreamed that Jiang Pingce kissed him?
The author has something to say:
Under the efforts of the Pingce and the ‘coordination of the library’, Xingwen’s wooden head cracked open : )
