The people from the Literature and Art Department were afraid that Xie Li would cause trouble again and they wouldn’t be able to control the scene, so they dragged Yu Rui to stay in the dressing room.
Yu Rui had to accompany everyone to wait for Xie Li to change clothes.
Two girls from the Literature and Art Department were mainly in charge of setting up the stage for Xie Li. They had nothing to do at the moment, so they got together and chatted, then went towards Yu Rui and started a conversation.
The two briefly introduced themselves and talked for a few minutes before one of them asked, “Yu Rui, what is your relationship with Xie Li?”
Yu Rui blinked in surprise, then softly laughed, “Of course a classmate relationship, what else could there be?”
“Ah, I don’t mean that, I’m just a little curious.” Said the embarrassed girl, “Xie Li didn’t seem to have any friends before, and this semester is the first time I saw anyone together with him or even eating together.”
The other girl said, “Yes. Especially when we were saying that Xie Li listens to you. Our President tried to persuade him for a while, but she was ignored.”
“Our President is a senior girl, and today is the first time I’ve seen her get in trouble with a boy. Her face even turned red with anger.”
The two were talking next to Yu Rui, and Yu Rui did not interrupt but listened quietly and patiently.
The two gossiped for a while, before realizing that Yu Rui had not intervened for a while. One of them blushed, “Yu Rui, are we bothering you?”
Yu Rui was a little surprised, then shook his head and smiled, “No. I was bored waiting here alone, so it’s fun to listen to you two talk.”
Another girl sighed, “You have a great personality, Yu Rui, unlike those stinky guys in our class and our department who either don’t talk without being rude or spend all day talking about inappropriate things that annoy people.”
“Well, now I understand why Xie Li likes to be with you, it must be very comfortable to be friends with someone like you.”
The emotion under Yu Rui’s eyes shifted slightly, and as if he had weighed in on something, a bit of helplessness quickly flashed through his eyes.
At that moment, the curtain of the dressing room where Xie Li entered suddenly lifted with one hand, and the messy-haired boy walked out with a frown.
The eyes of the crowd widened in surprise.
Then, in this corner, the chatter died down and the air was suddenly silent.
Only when Yu Rui noticed the sudden silence around him did he follow the girl’s steady gaze to his side, and then he too, could not help but stare.
The suit that the Department of Literature and Art had prepared was indeed of poor quality in which you could barely see the lines when you held it in your hand. But the person who came out, made Yu Rui understand, for the first time, the term ‘walking hanger’ that the girls used.
The suit pants were black, with a slight silver-gray drape. The long, slender legs, which were normally hidden under baggy pants, were wrapped in softly draped black pants, and the line from crotch to thighs was slightly taut in a sharp, distinct curve.
The measurements of the pants between the waist and hip were perfect, but the length of the pants is a bit short for Xie Li’s long legs, with the cold white skin fully exposed from the ankle above the leather shoes.
As for the upper body, the white shirt was tucked inside a plain black belt, outlining a slim and strong waist, the lines of the chest and abdomen were also visible under the shirt. The collar of the shirt had two buttons undone, exposing half of the noticeable collarbone lines. The tie that should be in that position was clutched in Xie Li’s hand with a frown, the suit jacket carelessly draped on the arm.

In particular, the two girls next to Yu Rui were clutching their hands at each other, their faces flushed with excitement.
“That collarbone, that waist, that leg, that ankle line, and with that face…shit… I feel like I’m going to explode!”
“Ahhhh! I want Xie Li to wear a suit forever! He’s usually so hunched over all the time, who would have guessed he has such an amazing body!”
“If I pass out later, remember to pinch me…. what the hell were they thinking when they didn’t recruit someone like that for the Literature and Art Department? He doesn’t have to do anything, he can just sit still as a vase!
“When the Vice President brought the clothes, I complained that it was of poor quality, and it would look bad, but as a result… Xie Li putting it on is too dangerous to our hearts?”
“Okay, calm down sister, this is Xie Li, the one who won’t even look at girls. He will beat you to death if you make any decisions for him.”
“…. okay calm down, you’re right wuwuwuwu.”
With the two girls excitedly discussing the situation, Yu Rui also recovered.
Alerted that he had been looking at him for too long, His eyes unconsciously turned away from him, only to be met by a pair of dark eyes.
In those eyes, the impatience that had been there vanished; it was as if he had found something interesting, something a little playful and profound blossoming.
Being stared at by Xie Li at this moment, Yu Rui’s heart trembled for unknown reasons.
He quickly retracted his eyes and started to leave.
“Xie Li is ready, you can go ahead. I’ll go wait outside first.”
The two girls came to their senses and suppressed their nervousness and agitation, “Ah, yes, thank you Yu Rui.”
Yu Rui gave a faint smile, nodded his head, and prepared to leave.
However, it was too late.
“Class President, what’s the hurry?” Xie Li’s voice reached Yu Rui the moment he turned around.
Yu Rui pretended not to notice and walked quickly. Then, his wrist was held and he was pulled back.
Yu Rui was a little annoyed, but his gentle smile didn’t change. He looked at Xie Li, strangely to him, after a few seconds, he lowered his eyes and avoided his gaze.
“Xie Li, it’s almost time.” Yu Rui pulled back from Xie Li’s grip imperceptibly, “You should prepare to go on stage as soon as possible.”
Xie Li slightly raised his eyebrows, a smile appeared on his thin lips, “What else do I need to prepare?”
Yu Rui glanced at him.
The two girls beside him came to their senses, and one of them slowly spoke, “Xie Li, can you cooperate with us to do your makeup?”
Xie Li looked at them, his smile instantly disappearing, and said in a lazy and impatient tone, “No.”
Yu Rui said nothing but frowned at his words.
Xie Li seemed to have noticed it, looked back, his smile reappeared, and explained, “It’s not that I don’t listen to you, I’m allergic to those things.”
The girl, “….”
Wow, this excuse sounds way too realistic.
Another girl stepped into the rescue, “Classmate Xie Li doesn’t need makeup either, but the jacket….?”
Xie Li frowned and looked at the arms, “Narrow at the shoulders.”
“Oh, that’s it. You already look great in just the shirt.” The girl was speechless, unable to suppress her excitement.
Xie Li paused and shifted his gaze away, “Does it look good?”
“Yes, very good!” The girl frantically nodded her head.
The corners of Xie Li’s mouth curved up, his eyes shifted towards Yu Rui, a small smile tainted his raspy voice, “Does the Class President think it looks good too?”
“….”
Feeling the excited looks of the two girls instantly fall on him, Yu Rui strained his smile awkwardly.
A few seconds later, he threw a warning glance at Xie Li and quickly averted his eyes again.
“You look… good.”
The two girls nodded their heads.
There were whispers throughout the room, but Xie Li didn’t look at anyone but the young man with slightly droopy eyes in front of him with a smile.
At that moment, someone reacted, “Xie Li’s turn is coming up, isn’t it? Shouldn’t we get ready to go on stage already?”
“Oh, yes.” The two girls nodded as they looked at the time and towards Xie Li, “Xie Li, since you’re not going to put on makeup, why don’t we go behind the curtain and wait there?”
Xie Li slowly averted his gaze away from Yu Rui, “You two don’t need to go, I’ll go by myself.”
“Uh?”
“Anyway…” Xie Li’s arm rose and hooked around Yu Rui’s shoulder as he walked away, “Our Class President is going with me.”
“Oh, right…”
The two girls watched in surprise as the two stepped back. After a while, they came back to their senses.
“Xie Li and Yu Rui have a very good relationship.”
“Pretty good.”
“But don’t you feel that their relationship is simply… too good to be true?”
“No. There are only two outstanding people in the whole school, so leave me some room for fantasy.”
From the dressing room, Xie Li’s outstanding appearance got so many stares, they could poke holes in their bodies.
Yu Rui resisted to no avail.
When they reached a corner backstage, Xie Li suddenly pushed the young man in his arms into the dark area behind the curtain while no one was there.
Before Yu Rui could resist, he saw the person suddenly leaning towards him, laughing in a hoarse voice…
“Class President, what’s wrong with you, why didn’t you dare to look at me since I came out of the dressing room?”
“!!”
Yu Rui could hardly hold his gaze as his guilty conscience revealed itself.
Noticing Yu Rui’s hesitation, Xie Li’s voice became more and more excited, “So, do you like me in a suit?”
THE AUTHOR HAS SOMETHING TO SAY:
It’s just a normal sentence, but why does it smell like a car’s exhaust pipe (serious face)?
Oh boy, Yu Rui is in trouble! If Xie Li looks so good in the cheap outfit, can you imagine him in the kind of well- designed suits his family can afford? I have a feeling he’ll start finding reasons to wear them 😏
