20 : mouth is sore

 Yinluo didn't speak again, lowering his eyelashes as he entered the dormitory building.

It was eight o'clock in the evening, and those who were supposed to have class had gone to class, while those who weren't in class stayed in their dorms, so there was naturally not much of a person around. Yinluo entered the elevator, with Lu Ran following closely behind.

The small, empty, and bright space instantly fell silent.

Just when Yinluo thought that the other person had lost interest in kissing and the heat on his face was gradually fading, a voice sounded in his ear: "You said your mouth was sore, did he suck on it?"

Yinluo: "!"

He looked up and glared at Lu Ran, but those light-colored pupils were too beautiful, shimmering with water, and he looked very coquettish.

Lu Ran's heart was pounding from being teased, but he pretended to be calm and continued the topic: "So you weren't feeling well, but you obediently let him kiss you? You didn't even resist."

Finally speaking something sensible, Yinluo slowly said: "I resisted, but I didn't have any strength in my legs, and my waist was being held down, so I couldn't push it away."

Lu Ran was a little shocked: "He even touched your waist?!"

Yinluo looked at him, his eyes slightly complicated.

Lu Ran realized his reaction was a bit over the top and awkwardly looked away. Just then, the elevator stopped. He followed closely behind Yin Luo, staring at that delicate, white nape of her neck like a large dog clinging to its owner.

The dorm was empty. Yin Luo had been out all day and just wanted to take a shower and lie down. True to his character, he didn't need to consult Lu Ran, so he grabbed his clothes and said, "I'll shower first," before

going into the bathroom.

Yin Luo showered quickly this time. When he came out, he found Lu Ran still in the same position he'd been in before entering the bathroom. Surprised, he asked, "What are you doing?"

Lu Ran didn't look up. "Thinking about something."

Yin Luo didn't ask further, but Lu Ran continued, "Thinking about why a first kiss involves touching the waist. Shouldn't it just be a quick touch on the lips?"

"..."

Yin Luo felt that Lu Ran was genuinely concerned about still having his first kiss, probably because he'd been teased about it a lot on their basketball team. He thought for a moment, deciding this was an opportunity to increase his bullying value, so he patted the other person's shoulder, a little smug: "Touching your waist is nothing, there's something even worse."

Lu Ran raised his eyelids: "You were even subjected to something worse?"

Yin Luo was almost speechless at his thought process: "No..."

"Then when were you kissed?"

"...High school."

Lu Ran was surprised: "You were kissed and had your waist touched in high school?"

Yin Luo: "

..."

Yin Luo: [Look at him, he's really jealous of me.]

System: [(*╯3╰)]

"You're so annoying." Yin Luo immediately frowned and said fiercely, "If you want to know so much, why don't you just find someone to date?"

[Bullying value +2!] Lu

Ran's expression paused slightly, but only for a brief moment. He quickly regained his usual lazy and casual demeanor: "But I can understand."

Yin Luo: "What?"

"With looks like that, you'd definitely be even prettier in high school."

"You don't even need to say anything; just standing there, a lot of people would like you."

"If it were me, I wouldn't be able to resist either."

"Couldn't resist...touching your waist and kissing you on the lips, or something."

Yin Luo felt a chill run down his spine, both angry and embarrassed. He hadn't wanted to kiss him; it was as if just anyone could. But after a long pause, he couldn't think of a single insult.

Seeing Yin Luo pursing his lips and his face flushed, Lu Ran, afraid he was really angry, immediately changed his tone and said ingratiatingly, "I meant if."

Yin Luo frowned: "There are no ifs!"

Lu Ran said "Oh," and after a moment asked, "Do you like men?"

Yin Luo wasn't completely appeased yet, and his tone was harsh: "Is that not allowed?"

"You like men older than you?"

"?"

Yin Luo raised an eyebrow. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Lu Ran's eyelids twitched slightly, and he pointed towards the table: "You got a call while you were showering, and the contact name was 'old man'."

Shang Chengning? It should be the middle of the night for him.

Yin Luo wasn't interested in Lu Ran's question. He opened his phone, and sure enough, Shang Chengning had called him on WeChat voice.

There was a message before the voice message: [So what kind do you think looks good?]

It turned out to be about the bracelet.

Yin Luo thought for a moment and sent a message as if to tease him: [With roses, I guess.]

After sending it, he didn't look at his phone again, climbed into bed, and went to sleep.

Lu Ran was left alone downstairs, looking rather listless, but he still asked Yin Luo, "Do you want me to turn off the light?"

*

In the following days, with fewer classes, Yin Luo rarely left his dorm except for the teaching building, gradually revealing his homebody tendencies.

The system couldn't hold back any longer: [Host, aren't we done with the mission anymore?]

Yin Luo, wearing loose

pajamas , lazily asked: [What's the next important plot point?]

System: [You were chosen by the director to film a short film, but you were picky and choosy in the crew, causing most people to be dissatisfied with you.]

Yin Luo: [Isn't it in half a month? I made up so many extra exams for the original owner, I'm so tired, I want to lie down and play games. Let's rest together, baby.]

System: [...]

Waaah, the host called me baby, so whatever he says is right.

The entire afternoon was wasted by Yinluo until Lu Ran returned around 6 PM. Seeing him on the bed, he asked, "Have you eaten?"

Yinluo tilted his fluffy head out from beside the bed: "No."

Lu Ran had gotten into the habit of bringing food for his roommate these past few days: "I bought a lot, come down and eat with me." Yinluo

dragged out his words: "Wait until I finish this, just a little while. Okay?"

Fine, wait, why the whining?

Lu Ran outwardly acted aloof, but inwardly he felt like he'd been tickled by a feather. He couldn't help but glance at the bed.

The boy was propped up on his back.

The temperature had risen recently, and he wasn't wearing much, so because of his posture, his shirt was all rolled up,

revealing a section of his fair and supple waistline.

And then...

Lu Ran looked away.

He felt that he must have fallen for Yinluo.

Especially these past few days, it was so obvious.

When he couldn't see him, he couldn't help but think about him, worry about whether he'd eaten, whether he was in a good mood, and even... had those kinds of dreams. In his dream, Yinluo was incredibly obedient, clinging to his neck and constantly asking for kisses.

Lu Ran ruffled his hair haphazardly.

He came from a wealthy family and was good-looking; he had been confessed to countless times since childhood, but he had never liked anyone. Only Yinluo had stirred such a feeling in him.

Besides, Yinluo also had a crush on him, but was just too timid to say it.

She probably brought up the kissing incident in front of him that day to make him jealous.

The older man was probably an elder he didn't like at home.

Thinking of this, Lu Ran remembered what Yinluo had once said—"Touching the waist is nothing, there's something even more outrageous."

So, if he were to kiss Yinluo, he could do more than just kiss him on the lips.

He wanted to touch his waist too, and he wanted to suck his lips until they ached.

But would doing all that be too fast? But since they had already kissed, his whole body, including his first time, would belong to Yinluo, so why be afraid?

After sorting out the mess in his mind, Lu Ran felt much better.

He reminded Yinluo, "The food's getting cold, come down quickly."

"Okay, okay, you're so nagging." Yinluo reluctantly got out of bed. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, which hung loosely, and the hem wasn't straightened, vaguely revealing the dimples on his lower back.

His two slender, white legs swayed as he went down the stairs.

Lu Ran felt a little dizzy.

A thought suddenly popped into his head—how do men behave between each other?
