He was extremely slow to reply to messages, and he was not willing to voice or call Bennett, let alone meet in person. Bennett couldn't figure out why someone who didn't seem to want to make friends at all would download a dating app.
However, Bennett and Lucas chatted a few times, and he thought he had found some ways into each other. Lucas is very slow to express his feelings and is very reserved. He always has to chase after Bennett for several times before he is willing to reply with a few words, but he is not completely unresponsive.
Thanks to Bennett's efforts, Lucas's replies have become more frequent than at the beginning. The most recent time, Bennett asked Lucas if he was chatting with anyone else on the software, and Lucas rarely asked Bennett: "Are you?"
"Tell me first if you have it." Bennett said.
Bennett actually matched with several other people, but they were too direct. They all wanted to have naked chats with him or meet him directly. Bennett felt that Lucas was more reliable if he ignored him like this, so he put all the others together. Deleted, only chatting with Lucas.
"No." Lucas said back.
Bennett said to Lucas a little guilty: "Neither do I, only you."
Lucas seemed to be distrustful and asked: "Really?"
"It's really just you," Bennett sent the contact page of the screenshot software to Lucas and said confidently, "Look, you are the only one."
Lucas didn't say anything. Bennett shamelessly asked Lucas for screenshots of his contacts. Lucas didn't want to send them, so Bennett accused Lucas of pretending to be innocent. He must have two hundred contacts.
Lucas couldn't defeat Bennett. After a few minutes, he actually sent a screenshot. The screenshot was the same as Bennett's. It was clean and had only one Mu.
"It took me so long to send it here. Isn't it because I am deleting people?" Bennett continued to tease Lucas unreasonably.
"It's not deleted." Lucas answered him seriously.
"Then are you interested in joining someone else?" Bennett asked, but then he thought about it and then withdrew because it seemed too serious to ask.
Unexpectedly, Lucas replied and told him, "Not interested."
Bennett looked at Lucas's non-mainstream muscular profile picture and thought that Lucas was actually a very gentle person. Lucas would express his preferences in his own unique and awkward way. Sometimes Bennett would send Lucas some photos on a whim. Lucas seemed to not care whether Bennett sent them or not, but Bennett could feel from his faster reply speed that Lucas actually wanted to Saw it.
On Wednesday, Bennett stayed in the library from morning to night. When he returned to his room, he didn't want to do anything, so he opened the e-commerce website and browsed the products. He was hesitant between two pairs of earrings, so he sent them to Lucas and asked him to help choose.
Lucas was still working overtime late at night and came back to Bennett every twenty minutes: "Is there any difference?"
"One pair is big and one is small," Bennett said, "The small one is more expensive."
"Little one." Lucas made the decision for Bennett casually.
Bennett actually liked the small one better, so he bought it.
The earrings arrived on Friday. Bennett put them on and took a photo to show them to Lucas. He said that Lucas had good taste. Seeing that Lucas didn't reply, he still had a biopsy analysis to do, so he packed up and ran to the laboratory.
While Bennett was standing next to the instrument waiting for the results, an Indian female classmate with whom he had a good relationship came up to talk to him and praised his earrings.
The earrings are black with subtle marble patterns. When worn on Bennett's right ear, they only make the earlobe look round and small, not feminine at all.
Bennett liked to talk about this kind of topics with people, and the two immediately exchanged ideas about the pros and cons of shopping websites and discounts.
"I was originally looking at another pair that was bigger," Bennett reached out and touched his earlobe, and said happily to the female classmate, "my friend helped me choose this pair."
"------Bennett, have you finished it?" The conversation between the two was interrupted by Jasper and Carter Song walking from the other side of the laboratory.
Jasper tapped the instrument at Bennett's hand and said politely: "Can I change it when I'm done using it?"
With Carter Song standing behind him, Jasper felt as if he had a backstage, his face full of arrogance.
Bennett looked at the progress of the analysis and said to Jasper: "There are still ten minutes, can you wait?"
The female classmate saw that they seemed a little unhappy, so she excused herself and left first. Bennett lowered his head and flipped through his experiment notebook, not talking to the two people waiting aside.
Jasper had nothing to do and felt embarrassed, always thinking of squeezing Bennett away.
He was short and fat, and had a strong sense of presence. Every time he got closer to Bennett, Bennett would retreat a little. But the equipment was placed against the wall. Bennett took a few steps back and then had no way to retreat. He didn't want to get out of the way and let Jasper succeed, so he picked up the booklet to block Jasper and asked him angrily: "You always come closer. what are you doing?"
"Let me take a look at the progress of the instrument." Jasper said, waving away Bennett's experiment book and trying to lean over to look at the instrument.
Jasper was about to pounce on Bennett. Bennett was naturally extremely unhappy. Just when he was about to ask Jasper to stay away from him, he blocked Jasper with one hand.
Carter Song moved Jasper's shoulder without saying a word, and looked down at Jasper. Jasper didn't know why Carter Song did this suddenly, but he still took a step back.
The person closest to Bennett suddenly became Carter Song.
Carter Song is tall and has a completely different temperament from Jasper. The way he looks down on people gives people a real sense of oppression.
Bennett only glanced at Carter Song, then lowered his head and whispered impatiently: "I know you are in a hurry. Can I give it to you as soon as you use it? Is this necessary?"
Carter Song didn't say anything. He stood beside Bennett for a few seconds and then moved away a little, but not too far. Before Carter Song, he would never even look at Bennett. He had contempt written all over him from head to toe. He didn't know what medicine he took this day, and his eyes were fixed on Bennett like nails, making Bennett feel hairy all over.
Fortunately, not long after, the instrument sounded a completion prompt. Bennett copied the data, cleaned the instrument to zero, and left in a hurry. When he raised his eyes, he glanced at Carter Song, and he felt that Carter Song seemed to be looking at his earrings.
After walking out of the laboratory door, Bennett breathed a sigh of relief. The phone in his pocket vibrated. He took it out and read it. It was Lucas's reply.
"Can't see the face clearly." Lucas replied.
Bennett was walking and said to Lucas with a little breath: "I patted the ears, not the face."
He suddenly understood what Lucas meant and asked, "You want to see my whole face? But you won't meet me, so what's the point of seeing my whole face?"
As he approached the school gate, Lucas wrote him a reply: "I'm busy with work."
"That's right," Bennett teased him, "but I'm very busy with school, so I don't have time to take photos for you to see."
After Bennett finished speaking, he shivered from the wind, put down his cell phone and wrapped his clothes tightly.
