Fates Intertwined Among the Constellations Chapter 9

Liam Qin stood opposite Xing Yan, with a book on the table. Liam Qin lowered his voice and deliberately asked, "Is anyone sitting here, handsome guy?"

Xing Yan raised his eyebrows and replied: "Aren't you?"

Liam Qin smiled and sat down.

Originally, he thought that meeting again would be somewhat awkward, but since Xing Yan took the initiative to ask him to come over and sit, Liam Qin didn't care anymore. He was a carefree person.

Liam Qin reached into his bag to take out a notebook, but he couldn't find one. He didn't bring a notebook today, so he only took out a pen. Liam Qin looked back and forth. The girl sitting on his left was studying too hard, so he didn't want to disturb her. Liam Qin thought for a moment, took out his phone from his pocket, called up the WeChat QR code, and pushed the phone across the table.

Xing Yan saw the QR code on the phone, looked up at Liam Qin, then picked up the phone next to him and scanned it.

There was a faint "beep" sound indicating a successful scan, and Xing Yan pushed his phone back.

---"Xing Yan" requested to add you as a friend.

The avatar was a big black motorcycle. Liam Qin smiled and clicked "Agree". This avatar was very similar to his temperament.

Liam Qin: Did you save this seat specially for me?

Xing Yan's phone vibrated, and he read the message and replied: I said, aren't you embarrassed?

Liam Qin: Haha, then I won’t ask anymore. Thanks anyway.

Xing Yan didn't reply to him. Liam Qin posted in the dormitory group: Deng Keer, fourth floor, found a seat.

After sending the message, I put my phone aside and stopped disturbing people who were reading. The poor student had the consciousness of a poor student, so he took a book and sat there to read quietly, without making any noise.

After Lucas Shen arrived, Liam Qin packed up his things and left. When he passed by Xing Yan, he bent his fingers and tapped lightly on his desk as a greeting.

After adding the WeChat user, Liam Qin wanted to check out the other person's Moments, but he didn't know if the person had never posted a Moments or if the Moments were not open to him, so he couldn't see it anyway. But it didn't matter, Liam Qin felt very comfortable adding the WeChat user.

On mornings when I don’t have classes, I don’t think about getting up early to contribute to my roommate. After waking up, I reached for my phone and sent a message to Xing Yan: Handsome guy, are you going to the library?

Xing Yan replied: Go

Liam Qin: Could you please save a seat for me?

Xing Yan: OK

Liam Qin originally wanted to send an emoticon package, but it felt awkward to send an emoticon package since they were not that close, so in the end he just sent: Thanks.

After sending it, Liam Qin remembered the slash line when he passed the notebook to the library last time, and thought to himself, how can you act cool without paper and pen?

I really don’t have a pen to draw the line, so people don’t reply.

After Liam Qin thanked him, he knew that he probably wouldn't receive a reply, so he locked his phone, put it aside and went back to sleep.

But Liam Qin didn't just leave it alone and never go again. Sometimes when Xing Yan had classes to skip, Liam Qin would still go and give him one as well.

When he told Nolan Hua about this, Nolan Hua almost laughed to death. Who would have thought that they would eventually become friends in the library who reserved seats for each other.

Liam Qin didn't think it was a big deal. Boys make friends quickly.

Liam Qin brought two glasses of orange juice, each with about half a cup of ice cubes. He sent a message to Xing Yan downstairs in the library: Fourth floor?

Xing Yan: Second Floor

Liam Qin: Haha, there’s no room on the fourth floor today?

Xing Yan: Yeah

When Xing Yan was packing up to leave at about twelve o'clock, Liam Qin whispered, "Sir, please stay."

Xing Yan looked at him, and Liam Qin shook his phone at him.

Liam Qin: Let’s go eat?

Xing Yan: Go ahead.

Liam Qin: Together?

Xing Yan: With you?

Liam Qin: Ah.

Xing Yan looked at him again, then replied: Let's go

Liam Qin also stood up, packed his things, and went out with Xing Yan.

"Sitting for two hours is tiring," Liam Qin said to Xing Yan, shaking his arms, "I was hungry just now."

Xing Yan turned his head to look at him: "Don't you have to wait for your roommate?"

"Who would want to grab a seat in the middle of the day? Besides, your place is empty." Liam Qin smiled and said, "I've been wanting to treat you to a meal for a long time."

Xing Yan had very fair skin and dark eyebrows and eyes, and even though he didn't show any expression when he looked at people, he still looked a little fierce.

"Have you been like this since childhood?" Liam Qin poured himself a glass of water and asked.

Xing Yan leaned back in his chair and looked at him: "What do I look like?"

"Just..." Liam Qin thought for a moment, "Just like that, arrogant."

Xing Yan suddenly chuckled and asked him, "You want to say you're showing off, right?"

Liam Qin was quite surprised when he said that, and couldn't help laughing: "Just know it in your heart, do you have to say it out loud?"

"Be honest," Xing Yan said, then shook his head: "I wasn't like this when I was a kid."

The two handsome guys just looked at each other and smiled. It was a very pleasing scene. There was a little girl sitting at the table next to them, looking at them from time to time.

Her gaze was a little obvious, and Liam Qin turned his head to look at her.

The girl was quite generous and called him: "Handsome guy? Can I take a picture of you two?"

Liam Qin didn't care about this and pointed at Xing Yan across from him: "Then you have to ask him."

The girl then turned to look at Xing Yan, clasped her hands together and said, "Handsome guy, please take a picture, please."

Xing Yan spread his hands, then turned to look out the window.

The girl was very happy. She took out her phone and took a photo of Liam Qin's profile, the back of Xing Yan's head and his beautiful jawline. After taking the photo, she put down her phone, still a little excited, and said to them: "Thank you handsome guys, sorry to bother you."

Liam Qin smiled faintly at her, then turned back to talk to Xing Yan.

The girl left after a while. After taking the photos, she was satisfied and didn't look at them again, for fear of making others feel uncomfortable. After she left, Liam Qin smiled and said, "Young girls nowadays are quite polite."

Xing Yan asked him: "Do you know why she took the photo?"

Liam Qin said: "When you see a handsome guy, just take a picture."

Xing Yan didn't respond. After a while, he chuckled and said to him, "...silly and innocent."

"What? I'm just a naive person," Liam Qin looked puzzled, "What else?"

In the end, Xing Yan didn't answer this question. It wasn't a big deal anyway, so Liam Qin didn't ask any more questions.

The meal went quite harmoniously, but when Liam Qin paid the bill, he found that Xing Yan had already paid. Liam Qin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What are you doing?"

He stood there and looked back at Xing Yan. Xing Yan walked forward and pushed his back with one hand.

Liam Qin was pushed out of the restaurant by him, still saying: "I said I would treat you to a meal."

Xing Yan said: "Next time."

A meal was not worth arguing about, so Liam Qin smiled and shook his head: "Okay, let's talk about it next time."

The meal was over, so it was considered as a formal establishment of diplomatic relations. But Liam Qin never mentioned Zhou Siming during the whole process. He really didn't want to mention this person. He was too disgusting and disliked him. He felt that he and Xing Yan couldn't establish diplomatic relations if he mentioned him. So let's just assume that they didn't know each other because of Zhou Siming.

After dinner, Nolan Hua went to Liam Qin's dormitory to play games. Liam Qin pushed the door open and saw him. He looked up at the other desktops and said, "I thought I went to your dormitory."

"I'm here to rob someone." Nolan Hua said, turning around.

"Who are you robbing?" Ethan Chen was also in the dormitory. Lucas Shen had gone to the library and had not come back yet. Liam Qin sat on Lucas Shen's chair. "Robbed Ke'er? What kind of impure relationship do you two have?"

"Go away," Nolan Hua said, "I will rob you."

"Robbery?" Liam Qin laughed, "That's impossible. You can't beat me."

"I don't care," Nolan Hua turned around and said after closing the computer, "You have to stay in the dormitory with me tonight anyway."

"What are you doing?"

"The community behind our building is playing trumpets at a funeral hall." Nolan Hua frowned, looking miserable, "The trumpets made me feel flustered."

Ethan Chen said, "Why don't you just sleep here with us? I'll tidy up the empty bed for you."

Liam Qin's dormitory has four beds, but one bed has been vacant, so they let them use it to store their stuff. It was a bit troublesome to clean up the pile of stuff, and there was no bedding, so Nolan Hua said: "No need, just let Liam Qin go back and sleep with me."

Liam Qin laughed at him: "You are too timid, Brother Tong. It doesn't match your majestic temperament."

"What the hell am I so awesome about? I'm just a little white rabbit and a little lamb now." Nolan Hua picked up a lozenge from Liam Qin's desk and held it in his mouth. "I was so scared that I got angry and my throat hurts."

Ethan Chen couldn't help laughing beside him: "Tong is so funny."

"You guys are still laughing," Nolan Hua sighed, "your happiness is based on my pain points."

Liam Qin laughed, but he couldn't leave Nolan Hua alone in the dormitory, so he took his toiletries and clothes to change and went with him. Nolan Hua and his friends didn't have classes for the next two days, and they would have consecutive holidays afterwards. In addition to this night, Liam Qin had to stay in his dormitory for four nights.

Liam Qin came from the prestigious Institute of International Relations and came to the slum men's dormitory. There was no air conditioning or hot water. There was only a shower pipe in the bathroom, which was full of cold water.

Liam Qin took a cold shower that night, and as he came out and dried his hair he said, "I really don't understand why you would take a shower when there is no hot water."

"I couldn't figure this out at first," Nolan Hua said, "but if there wasn't this pipe, you would be completely confused now. There's no cold water to flush. The men in the Nanyuan dormitory have to use basins in the corridor toilet to pour water on themselves."

Liam Qin almost choked when he heard this: "Even if you fight with me, I won't come back to live with you."

"You can't. Brother Fang values   feelings and can't ignore me," Nolan Hua smiled flatteringly, "Brother Fang, protect me."

Liam Qin really couldn't just ignore him, and he would probably have to take Nolan Hua out to stay in a hotel. Not letting him take a shower before going to bed in such a hot summer would be tantamount to suicide.

"You can sleep on my bed, brother. I'll give you new sheets and I'll sleep on my roommate's bed." Nolan Hua said.

"Yeah." Liam Qin lay on the bed in the dormitory without air conditioning, not daring to move. He had to think twice before turning over, fearing that he would sweat if he moved too much. Nolan Hua set up a small fan for him, and Liam Qin lay flat in his shorts, a position that was clearly arranged.

Before going to bed, Liam Qin took out his mobile phone and posted a message to his friends: Brothers in Xiyuan, thank you for your hard work.

I also took a photo of the pink mini fan clamped on the iron railing next to the bed.

Nolan Hua saw his circle of friends and laughed while lying on his roommate's bed: "Feel the suffering of the world, young master. It's like this in college. Your tuition is high. It's unreasonable not to install an air conditioner for you with tens of thousands of tuition a year, right?"

Liam Qin said: "Feel my feelings for you. I have touched my Chinese brothers."

"I feel it." Nolan Hua said with a smile.

Liam Qin casually scrolled through Weibo and looked at a bunch of messages in his friend circle. Among the countless comments and likes, Liam Qin actually saw a big black motorcycle.

---Xing Yan gave him a thumbs up.

Liam Qin smiled and raised his eyebrows, this is not aloof anymore, just a cool guy.
