Perhaps because they had known each other for a long time, the two always had a great deal of tacit understanding.
After a long conversation, they finally reached a consensus.
Yi Pin hooked the corner of his mouth into a smile.
"How about it? Nervous?"
Shen Yu sat up. There was still an IV drip in his hand, and a faint smile played on his lips.
"Yeah! Although there might not be much to be nervous about since I've been on stage so many times, I'm still really nervous!"
Yi Pin told the truth and pursed his lips.
"Do you know how I relieve my nervousness when I'm tense?"
Shen Yu opened his mouth mysteriously and hooked the corner of his mouth upwards.
"I'm all ears!"
Yi Pin shrugged, folded his arms across his chest, and stood by the window, smiling.
"It's... when you feel really nervous, just think of me!"
Shen Yu smiled, and a mischievous glint appeared in his eyes.
"I'm being serious with you!"
Yi Pin rolled his eyes helplessly.
"I'm serious. Every time I think... don't be nervous, relax. Once I win, I'll get to see the person I like. That gives me boundless motivation. You have no idea how powerful love can be!"
Shen Yu stared at the ceiling and grinned.
A bright smile spread across his face.
Yi Pin was transfixed by that smile.
The corner of his mouth curled up involuntarily.
"I... I'll go buy some breakfast. The food in the hospital is just tasteless!"
Then Yi Pin went downstairs. For some reason, his heart was pounding like crazy.
On his way back with the breakfast, Yi Pin saw two familiar figures.
Moreover, they were acting intimately with each other.
Yi Pin didn't dare to call out to them for fear that he might be mistaken. It would be even more embarrassing if that were the case.
"Yangcong, hurry up!"
Wang Xiangyang's familiar voice rang out.
"What's the rush? Are you in such a hurry to go to hell?"
The person beside him was Lin Yangcong. He shot a disdainful look at Wang Xiangyang.
"I'll deal with you when we get back!"
Wang Xiangyang hooked the corner of his mouth upwards, put his arm around Lin Yangcong's shoulder, and walked forward.
Yi Pin stared in disbelief, not knowing how to react.
His childhood friend and best buddy had somehow gotten involved with his college roommate.
"Wang Xiangyang, Lin Yangcong!"
Yi Pin finally called out to them.
Obviously, the two of them froze in their tracks.
When they turned around, Lin Yangcong pushed Wang Xiangyang's hand away and gave him a disdainful look.
Yi Pin sized the two of them up and down.
"Pinzi, what are you doing here?"
Wang Xiangyang hooked the corner of his mouth into a smile.
"Yeah, Pinzi, what are you doing here?"
Lin Yangcong smiled lazily.
"Don't worry about why I'm here. You two... what's going on? How did you guys meet?"
Yi Pin smiled and stared directly at the two of them.
"Just... he... is my roommate!"
Lin Yangcong laughed awkwardly.
"Damn it, so the place you said you found to live is his place?"
Yi Pin raised his eyebrows. He thought this guy was even more unreliable than himself.
Then Lin Yangcong said he was in a hurry to go to work and left early.
Wang Xiangyang also tried to slip away, but Yi Pin grabbed him from behind.
"Yangzi, so you've got secrets now, huh? You don't even tell me about them!"
Yi Pin hooked the corner of his mouth and stared at Wang Xiangyang in front of him.
"I don't have any. I... just didn't get the chance. Besides, you've been running around with that Shen Yu every day. When do you have time to care about me!"
Wang Xiangyang laughed.
"Wait a sec. I'll take the breakfast up. You wait here. We need to have a talk!"
Yi Pin hooked the corner of his mouth upwards.
He rushed upstairs in a hurry.
"You eat with Ziqi. I'll go downstairs. Xiangyang is waiting for me down there!"
Yi Pin smiled and was about to turn around and leave.
"Xiangyang?"
Shen Yu opened his mouth with a complicated expression. There was a hint of doubt in his voice as he asked tentatively.
"Yeah!"
Yi Pin nodded.
"Come on, don't be so jealous. He's just a good buddy!"
Yi Pin sighed helplessly.
But Shen Yu still sat there with a sarcastic look on his face.
"Fine, think whatever you want. Amuse yourself!"
After saying that, Yi Pin left.
Wang Xiangyang was standing at the hospital entrance, smiling. "Pinzi, who's up there? It's really rare to see our Pinzi in such a good mood!"
"Just... an idiot!"
Yi Pin smiled. He looked up and saw that the window of the ward on the fifth floor was open. A guy with a straight face was standing by the window, staring directly at them as if he was longing for something.
The corner of Yi Pin's mouth curled up involuntarily. He deliberately walked over and put his arm around Wang Xiangyang's shoulder, leaving the two of them with their backs turned.
Without even looking, Yi Pin knew that Shen Yu must be fuming with anger at this moment.
The two of them went to a quiet café.
"Tell me, what's going on between you and Yangcong?" Yi Pin got straight to the point and asked coldly.
"You mean him?" Wang Xiangyang twirled the coffee in his hand and smiled. "He's just a dumbass!"
"How did you guys meet? Judging from the way you two act, it seems like there's something going on between you!"
Yi Pin hooked the corner of his mouth into a smile.
"Just last time, when we were on the phone. Didn't you say that there was a gentle and elegant guy in your dorm who was deceived and bullied? I thought about going to avenge him at that time. Then we started to contact each other frequently. After that, he just clung to me. I couldn't shake him off... Later, I found that it wasn't too bad. The feeling was really strange!"
As Wang Xiangyang was speaking, a smile appeared in the corners of his eyes when he mentioned Lin Yangcong.
Yi Pin hooked the corner of his mouth into a smile.
"So what's the situation now?"
"Just like that. I don't know what the situation is. It's kind of ambiguous, but it seems like something is still missing... I don't know. It's really annoying!"
Wang Xiangyang shrugged and hooked the corner of his mouth into a smile.
"Hey, what's going on between you and that Shen Yu? You used to hate him to the core. Now it seems like things have changed!"
Wang Xiangyang laughed and then continued.
"I don't know either. It's really annoying!"
Yi Pin said helplessly. There was a look of exhaustion in his eyes.
The two of them chatted back and forth for a long time. They didn't part ways until almost noon.
When Yi Pin came back to the hospital with the food he had bought, he glanced at Shen Yu. He was still lying in bed with a straight face.
"Time to eat!"
Yi Pin smiled and handed the food to Shen Yu.
"I'm not eating. I'm so angry that I'm already full!"
Shen Yu said with a straight face and a fierce look in his eyes.
"Fine, if you don't want to eat, then don't!"
Yi Pin pursed his lips. He took the other portion of food and gave it to Ziqi. It took him a long time to come back.
He saw that the portion of food on the table still hadn't been touched.
"What's your relationship with Wang Xiangyang? Why did you put your arm around him and walk like that?"
Shen Yu asked. His straight face was about to hit the floor.
"Friends. Just pure brotherly love!"
Yi Pin shrugged.
Then there was a moment of silence. Shen Yu sat there coldly.
Yi Pin hooked the corner of his mouth into a smile. He walked over and sat on the edge of Shen Yu's bed. He looked at Shen Yu with a pleading look on his face and said, "Brother Yu, really not going to eat?"
Looking at the obedient look on Yi Pin's face, Shen Yu sighed helplessly.
"Feed me! My hands can't move!"
"Sure thing!"
"From now on, stay away from Wang Xiangyang!"
"Haha..."
