Lin You huddled under the blanket and didn’t sleep all night.
He couldn’t sleep at all. The curtains in his room weren’t drawn, and the temperature inside was very high, making his cheeks flush from the heat. While outside, everything was covered in a cold, silvery white.
This feeling was actually very peaceful.
But Lin You’s mind was in turmoil.
There actually haven’t been many people who had confessed their feelings to him, but he wasn’t oblivious to the fact that he had a well-liked face. As both a beta and an omega, he had always received some admiration to some extent.
However, not many people dared to come forward and confess to him.
Most omegas and betas were shy, while alphas were afraid to be in a relationship with him, fearing they might get beaten up at the slightest disagreement.
.
Fortunately, he didn’t mind much. He couldn’t really tell if others had feelings for him or how serious they were about it.
He thought it was fine just playing around with Lu Qingyan and their group of friends. Even if they went their separate ways after high school and went to different universities, he and Lu Qingyan would still be together.
But now, Lu Qingyan had confessed to him.
Telling him clearly that he likes him.
Saying that he would wait for his answer.
Lin You buried his head in the blanket, feeling so frustrated that he wanted to jump off a building.
He pursed his lips.
His lips were no longer swollen, but it seemed like the warmth from Lu Qingyan’s lips still lingered there.
The next day, Lin You stayed in his room until nine o’clock, only reluctantly opening the door when he heard a knock.
I wasn’t Lu Qingyan outside, but Ye Nanshan, calling him down to have breakfast.
Ye Nanshan said, “It’s just the two of us left, everyone else is already downstairs.”
Thinking about Lu Qingyan, Lin You didn’t really want to go downstairs, but then he realized that he couldn’t exactly avoid Lu Qingyan forever.
So, he slowly followed Ye Nanshan downstairs.

Lu Qingyan’s demeanor was very natural, just like how he was every other morning. The plate was filled with Lin You’s favorites, and there was no hint of anything that had happened yesterday.
Lin You couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.
But in front of everyone, he couldn’t ask anything, so he ate breakfast with a head full of doubts.
After a while, he noticed that Lu Qingyan showed no signs of abnormality. He acted and behaved just as he always did. He would crack jokes with everyone, and even turn around to ask him if he had any places he wanted to go for the afternoon.
On the contrary, it was Lin You who felt tense and uneasy whenever Lu Qingyan leaned over.
Lu Qingyan was composed beyond his imagination.
Lin You already began to doubt his own memory.
Could it be that he had actually fallen asleep last night and dreamt about Lu Qingyan confessing to him?
And after waking up, he mistakenly took it as reality?
However, his doubts were shattered when he found himself alone with Lu Qingyan.
While everyone else went to get another round of food, Lin You and Lu Qingyan went to buy ice cream.
Standing in front of the ice cream cabinet, Lin You heard Lu Qingyan say.
“You don’t need to be nervous. I won’t do anything excessive to you. You don’t have to feel pressured either. During this time, we’ll still be how we were before.”
Lin You stopped looking at the ice cream. He straightened his posture, and his eyes seemed somewhat confused.
“You mean… you won’t distance yourself from me? We’ll still be together like before?”
Lu Qingyan nodded, “That’s right. So don’t feel troubled, and don’t avoid me.”
In Lin You’s heart, a little idea emerged. What if he just dragged things along like this, and Lu Qingyan wouldn’t force him…
But before he could fully form that thought, Lu Qingyan seemed to have seen through him.
“But don’t make me wait too long, Xiao You,” Lu Qingyan said, “I will also get sad.”
Those words felt like an arrow piercing through Lin You’s heart.
Making him feel guilty as hell.
He determinedly bought a double scoop ice cream for Lu Qingyan, macadamia and chocolate flavors.
Lu Qingyan couldn’t persuade him otherwise, so he ended up walking out holding an ice cream cone.
Lin You had a cream flavor for himself.
Even in the middle of winter, the two of them weren’t afraid of the cold. Everyone else felt their teeth ache just from watching them.
Today’s plan was to go to a newly opened amusement park. They had bought tickets in advance, and each person could skip the queue once for each ride.
In the past, Lin You loved riding roller coasters and exploring haunted houses, but today, he couldn’t muster much enthusiasm.
As he sat on the roller coaster, surrounded by people screaming and wailing, only he and Lu Qingyan remained calm and silent.
But Lin You thought to himself that if this was the past, he would probably be excitedly holding Lu Qingyan’s hand and shouting with joy while others screamed and wailed.
But this time, both of them remained proper. There was even a ten-centimeter distance between their palms.
For dinner, they ate at the amusement park. There weren’t any special high-end restaurants, but the fried chicken and pizza tasted pretty good.
While they were eating, Bai Lu noticed the black bracelet on Lu Qingyan’s wrist and asked, “Lu-ge, when did you buy this bracelet? I didn’t see you wearing it yesterday.”
All eyes were drawn to Lu Qingyan.
Lin You, with a chicken wing in his mouth, turned to look at Lu Qingyan as well.
Lu Qingyan returned the look and calmly replied, “Lin You gave it to me, a New Year’s gift.”
“Oh~~”
Others didn’t find it strange and just joked, teasing Lin You for being biased, since among everyone, it was only Lu Qingyan who received a gift.
Lin You swallowed the chicken wing and didn’t say anything.
In the past, he would have definitely argued, saying that Lao Lu was his main consort, that he was obviously different from all you weeds.
But now, he didn’t utter a word and just let them tease him.
On the third day, the group boarded the high-speed train back to school.
They left in the morning so that they would arrive back at school in the afternoon. Ye Nanshan and Shao An had also planned to return home first to pick up some things.
The seating arrangement was the same as when they departed.
Hou Zicheng took advantage of the remaining time to be all lovey-dovey with his girlfriend. Lin You happened to be sitting in front of them and overheard Hou Zicheng acting like a loyal lackey. He was opening snacks for Zhou Xiaoni, asking her if she wanted milk tea, and saying how he feels uncomfortable at the thought of not being able to see her when he goes back.
Lin You rolled his eyes when he overheard.
But after a while, he couldn’t help but wonder, is this how couples behave when in love?
Constantly thinking about taking care of each other, and missing each other after being apart for a day.
Even though they’re sitting together, there still seem to be endless things to talk about.
If that’s the case, doesn’t it mean he and Lao Lu have already achieved the status of a couple long ago?
With this thought, Lin You sneakily glanced at Lu Qingyan.
Lu Qingyan was sitting in his seat, focused on the Kindle in his hand, reading something. His handsome features were already striking, and the soft morning light cast a gentle glow over him, making him so attractive that even Lin You was stunned.
As if sensing Lin You’s gaze, Lu Qingyan raised his eyes and met Lin You’s.
Lin You instantly felt flustered, he wanted to pretend he wasn’t looking but didn’t have time to do anything.
All he could do was stare awkwardly at Lu Qingyan.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Qingyan asked gently.
“Nothing.”
Lin You turned his head away, trying to cover up by opening a bottle of water.
Lu Qingyan had told him not to feel pressured and said they would continue to interact as before.
But the truth was, it was just a paper facade of peace.
At least Lin You couldn’t live up to it himself.
Thanks for the update ❤️
Things are going so well🥰
