The School Hunk's Pretend Lover Chapter 9

This question was like a thunderclap, which once again stunned Ethan Ling - he already had Ryan Qi's WeChat!

what to do?

It's definitely impossible to say it directly! How would he explain it if Ryan Qi asked about it?

Then... apply for a small account?

No way. He has dozens of people added to his WeChat account, including his parents and former classmates. If he applies for a new one just for Ryan Qi, he will have to switch back and forth to communicate with her. It's too troublesome.

...Delete Ryan Qi and add him again?

I can indeed do this on my side, but there will be a system reminder when the two of them first add each other as friends. What if Ryan Qi hasn't changed his phone in the past three years, or if he has changed his phone but still has the reminder from three years ago that "You can start chatting through friend requests", how should I explain it?

Ethan Ling had never tried it and didn't dare to take the risk.

After hesitating for more than two seconds, Ethan Ling became anxious and blurted out, "No."

...Huh!? Now it was Ryan Qi's turn to be dumbfounded!

He had excitedly taken out his cell phone, ready to "you scan" or "I scan", but Ethan Ling rejected him so bluntly.

...Why!?

...Tellmewhy! ?

The destructive power of these two words was so great that Ryan Qi was unable to recover for a long time.

Fortunately, Ethan Ling took out his cell phone and said, "Leave me your number. If you have anything, you can text me."

Ryan Qi was still a little bit unwilling to give up, thinking that maybe Ethan Ling didn't add him because he didn't have WeChat, so he asked tentatively: "Then, what about QQ?"

In fact, QQ has all the functions that WeChat has, including text, voice chat, and sending pictures to each other. All of them use data traffic, so it doesn’t matter which one you add.

However, WeChat is more popular nowadays. When talking about QQ, Ryan Qi always has a mysterious feeling.

Besides, he shared QQ with his brother, and he added a lot of his brother's friends in it, which was a mixed crowd. As they grew older, the two brothers also had their own privacy needs, so after switching to WeChat, Ryan Qi rarely went on QQ.

It is conceivable that he had struggled a lot before making this proposal.

However, Ethan Ling not only did not appreciate it, but also frowned in embarrassment.

Ryan Qi: ...

Okay, no need to say more, he already knows the answer.

With a flick of his finger, Ryan Qi opened the call bar: "Give me your number and I'll call you."

Being so coldly and ruthlessly rejected, Ryan Qi's mood almost hit rock bottom, and even his voice dropped two degrees.

...

...

As soon as Ryan Qi left, Ethan Ling sat down as if exhausted.

Thinking of Ryan Qi's deep and deep voice when he spoke to me, and the smell of Ryan Qi's sweat when they were close, mixed with a hint of men's perfume that was not unpleasant...

Oh, God knows how much effort he put in to keep a straight face just now.

However, even though he felt that the test from God was too great, after he calmed down, Ethan Ling actually felt a sense of happiness and joy belatedly.

That’s right, after all, the feeling of being with someone you love is so good, so good that it is almost addictive.

People are like this. Once they have enjoyed something more exciting, it is difficult for them to respond to the original thing.

...For example, the photos in Ryan Qi’s circle of friends.

Ethan Ling smiled and shook his head. After having come into contact with the living Ryan Qi, how could he possibly push him away again?

However, Ryan Qi’s stimulation to him was still too great.

In order to resist this impact, Ethan Ling could only subconsciously control this sense of distance. Otherwise, if he was not careful, he might lose his mind and expose his inner feelings.

Ethan Ling didn't dare to gamble, or rather, he had no illusions about dating Ryan Qi. Just being an ordinary roommate and classmate like just now was enough.

However, this kind of pure male friendship seems to be possible only between straight men.

Although society has become much more open, there are still a large number of people who are disgusted by homoS3xuals - this is a helpless reality.

Ethan Ling sighed softly. It seemed that in order to prevent Ryan Qi from hating him, he would have to hide his S3xual orientation for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, his self-control and disguise abilities have always been good. From the time he realized that he likes the same S3x five years ago until now, he has never been exposed.

After thinking it through, Ethan Ling calmed down a lot. While it was still early, he went out to go shopping.

The campus is still bustling with activity, like an online game with a new server just launched. The freshmen are taking on one task after another in the novice village, running around in sweat but with fresh looks on their faces.

There were actually people setting up stalls near the dormitory building to sell daily necessities, including bedding, mats, and electric kettles. There was even a big sign next to the quilts that read "70 Yuan".

A few students passed by and asked, "Is 70 yuan for a complete set of quilts?"

The vendor was a young man wearing a wide-brimmed cap and had a slightly tanned skin. He said enthusiastically, "Yes, it's ten yuan cheaper than the ones given by the school, and the quality is better than the ones given by the school. You will definitely not lose out if you buy mine!"

A few students probably feared that they would buy shady goods, so they asked several more questions. Finally, the vendor couldn't stand it anymore and took out his student ID and said, "Hey, don't be suspicious. I am a student of this school. See? I'm Gao Junyang, a senior in the Department of Economics and Management. Remember my name. If you have any problems with the goods, come to me anytime, anywhere!"

When the freshmen heard that it was a senior from the same school, they immediately let down their guard.

Ethan Ling was also tempted. He hadn't bought a thermos yet because it was big and he had to buy one for Ryan Qi as well. It would be inconvenient to bring it back from outside, so seeing that it was available here, he decided to buy one nearby.

After choosing and selecting, he also bought a soap box and two bars of soap for washing hands, the total cost was less than fifty yuan.

When paying the bill, Ethan Ling made eye contact with the vendor, who grinned, revealing two fangs. He looked quite handsome.

But when he got back upstairs, Ethan Ling, out of rigor, sent a message to the senior who had added him on WeChat that morning: "Senior, may I ask, there is someone selling things at a stall near the dormitory building, and he claims to be a senior from our school. Is he trustworthy?"

The senior schoolmate has a very poetic name, Qi Qiurui.

Qi Qiurui: "What senior? If it's not a charity sale organized by the student union, it's against school rules."

Ethan Ling was stunned. Before he could answer, the other party sent another voice message to explain: "It is probably someone who got in with a fake student ID. Even if someone wants to sell something in school, it is done privately. If you are caught doing such a blatant thing as setting up a stall, you will at least be punished. Don't trust it."

Ethan Ling twitched his lips and took a look at the kettle and soap he had just bought.

Well, even if these things are fake, they probably can’t be that bad, right?

I filled the two thermos with water and tested them to make sure they didn't leak, then I felt relieved.

Since you've already bought it, just use it.

After a while, the senior student sent another message, telling him where there was a small shop with good quality and cheap goods. Ethan Ling thanked her. He was not the kind of person who liked to cause trouble. Even though he knew that the vendor downstairs might not be reliable, he did not go to find trouble. He went downstairs and went straight out of the school.

When they arrived at the place the senior sister mentioned, they found that the goods were indeed complete and dazzling inside and outside. Seeing that there were also various thermos bottles in front of the store, Ethan Ling asked the owner about the price and felt more relieved when she learned that she didn't pay too much.

Then he bought towels, clothes drying racks, small electric fans, small desk lamps and other miscellaneous items.

Towels come in different thicknesses. Ethan Ling touched this one and then that one, wondering if the one she bought would be of the quality Ryan Qi wanted, and she was troubled by this for a long time.

After struggling for a long time, Ethan Ling became annoyed by his little daughter's behavior and grabbed a few of them in anger.

---Damn, use it if you want.

After I finished choosing and counting, the cost was nearly three hundred yuan.

"Little brother, are you buying for two?" The shopkeeper packed the food for him and saw that he bought a lot. He then took two large porcelain bowls with patterns on them from the shelf and gave them to him. He said, "I'll give you two bowls. You can put them in your dormitory to make instant noodles or something."

Ethan Ling neglected this point. After paying the money and looking at the four large bags of things, he regretted not extorting some hard work fee from Ryan Qi earlier.

After carrying it back to the dormitory, Ethan Ling's hands were almost broken.

As it was getting dark, Ethan Ling took a short rest and then hurriedly tidied up. He didn't like to leave the things at hand until the next day.

But as the whole thing went on, Ethan Ling's mood suddenly became a little subtle.

He didn't notice it when he first bought the things, but now that he had placed them around the dormitory, he realized that he and Ryan Qi were using the same desk lamp, the same towel, the same water cup...

This subtle feeling reached its peak when Ethan Ling picked up the two bowls given by the store owner.

Because, they are a pair of couple bowls.

When they were stacked together, the walls of the bowls were white and nothing could be seen. Now when they were separated, I saw that one of them had a blue kitten printed on the bottom, and the other had a pink kitten, and there was a love heart on the corners of both kittens' pouting mouths.

Ethan Ling suddenly became Spartan and had the urge to smash the bowl.

Now look at the same desk lamp, the same towel, the same water cup around you... and then return your gaze to the two couple bowls.

---It's more than subtle, it's ambiguous!

At this moment, there was a sound of door opening behind me.

Before Ethan Ling could destroy the two bowls, Ryan Qi came back exhausted, dragging two suitcases.

"You," Ethan Ling was stunned, and folded the bowls guiltily, "so fast?"

He thought Ryan Qi said he would go back to get his luggage in the afternoon and might not come tonight. After all, school starts the day after tomorrow. Why would he come to the dormitory and suffer when he can enjoy himself at home?

Ryan Qi had just climbed up the fourth floor carrying a suitcase and was a little out of breath. "I'm in a hurry to come back to have dinner with you," he said jokingly, and then looked around for the remote control. "It's so hot, why don't you turn on the air conditioner?"

Ethan Ling was hit hard by the first sentence and was still a little dazed.

Over there, Ryan Qi had already found the remote control and turned it on. He sighed, "I went to get it when I got the quilt this morning. From now on, the remote control... just put it on my desk. If you want to turn on the air conditioner, take it yourself." He looked around again and was very happy to see that Ethan Ling had bought so many things: "Have you bought everything? Thank you for your hard work."

Ethan Ling noticed Ryan Qi's wandering gaze and suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

But it was too late.

The next second, Ryan Qi's eyes fell on the two bowls beside him and asked, "Why did you buy more bowls?"

Ethan Ling: "...given by my boss."

Ryan Qi said happily: "So nice, you even give me a bowl?"

Ethan Ling gritted her teeth and picked up the pink kitten, pushing it to Ryan Qi: "Here."
