Although Shi Changxuan couldn’t help himself and acted on impulse, he still subconsciously gave Xie Lingya time to hide. After touching his soft lips, he was delighted that he did not avoid him.
Although their lips were simply sticking together, Shi Changxuan’s heart was already beating faster. After years of practicing Taoism, such things rarely happened. If he were to meet the enemy with his current mentality, he would probably fall into the evil Buddha’s illusion.
After a few seconds, Shi Changxuan slightly moved away, then couldn’t help but kiss back. He held Xie Lingya’s cheek with one hand and gently sucked on his lips, then changed to hugging Xie Lingya.
Shi Changxuan said in a sighing voice with a hint of embarrassment that was barely noticeable, “…Senior Brother likes you.”
Xie Lingya couldn’t find his voice for a moment, his throat seemed to be stuck, and his face flushed. After all, this was the first time.
Even though he had so many premonitions, he didn’t dare to believe that Shi Changxuan had such thoughts about him until the last moment. It really was true that you couldn’t judge a person by his appearance!!
That kiss made his eyes go dark. Shi Changxuan then added a confession, and Xie Lingya was almost unable to think after hearing it. It was not the first time that he was confessed to, but it was the first time that he was confessed to by Shi Changxuan.
But thinking back objectively, Shi Changxuan’s occasionally abnormal actions in the past did reveal that meaning, but he was like a blind man who couldn’t recognize it. Just last time, he proudly said that they should not discriminate against homosexuals.
What was even more terrifying was that after being kissed, although he was shocked, when he thought about it carefully, he didn’t feel disgusted at all. It seemed that he had long been accustomed to intimate contact with Shi Changxuan!
Shi Changxuan’s hand touched the back of Xie Lingya’s head again, and he woke up in shock and jumped back.
As a result, Xie Lingya fell headfirst onto the bed. He immediately rolled over and crawled away, leaning against the wall, panting with hot cheeks, his voice trembling: “You, what’s wrong with you… calm down, it’s not… I need to calm down…”
No matter how thick-skinned he was or how eloquent he was, he was confused at this time.
Shi Changxuan found Xie Lingya’s incoherent look particularly adorable, and he felt a little calmer. So he just let him go. Anyway, he couldn’t think of any other way to crack the problem these days, although it seemed that Xie Lingya was frightened.
Shi Changxuan knew that Xie Lingya was still in shock, but the fact that Xie Lingya did not avoid him nor show disgust made him feel less uneasy. In fact, seeing Xie Lingya’s reaction, he calmed down instead. He then lowered his head and said, “Can I say a few more words?”
He wanted to tell Xie Lingya what was in his mind, and he also wanted to comfort Xie Lingya that there was no need to be frightened. He just couldn’t help but point it out.
“No!” Xie Lingya howled and simply covered his face. He could no longer look directly at Shi Changxuan, and he didn’t have enough brain cells to think of more words.
Shi Changxuan laughed in silence, took two steps forward and leaned over.
Xie Lingya froze for a moment, but Shi Changxuan just touched the Reporting God beside his pillow, and then said: “I’ll move to the rental house first, you…”
He hesitated, didn’t say anything else, just packed a few clothes and turned to leave.
….
Shi Changxuan had just picked up the Reporting God and put it close to his ear when he heard him screaming and shouting incoherently, and he immediately wanted to put it away.
“No, no, no—” The Reporting God screamed.
Shi Changxuan stopped hanging it on his shoulder when he heard that it stopped howling like a ghost or a wolf.
After two seconds, the Reporting God said sourly:
“Shi Changxuan has made progress…”
“You generally don’t make a name for myself, but it’s a surprise when you do.”
Shi Changxuan took it calmly and said, “Yeah.”
He admitted it.
The Reporting God: “…”
The Reporting God finally couldn’t hold back any longer: “Is it sweet or not?!”
….
Xie Lingya lay on the bed. It was obviously only his left hand that was weak, but now it felt like his whole body had no strength at all.
After a while, he moved a little and turned over. What should I do…
Shi Changxuan asked him to think, but he really had no idea at all and his mind was in a mess.
What was even more frightening was that, if he thought about it carefully, while he was shocked, he didn’t show any resistance or disgust, and his face even turned red. Could it be that he was not as straight as he thought, and had a little potential to be crooked?
After all, it hadn’t been excavated for more than 20 years, so only now did he suddenly think of this possibility.
However, he treated Shi Changxuan as a candidate for his uncle’s disciple at first. Later, as they got to know each other, he felt that they had similar aspirations. After going through life and death together and sleeping in the same bed, their friendship had already become very deep.
Because of this, now that he was told that there was a possibility for development, Xie Lingya, who had little experience, didn’t know what to do.
“Let’s not tell my uncle for now.” Xie Lingya murmured to himself. Otherwise, he was afraid that his uncle would be shocked to the point of affecting his official duties if he knew that his apprentice liked his own nephew.
Shi Changxuan moved to the house rented for the new Taoists and stayed there temporarily, just with an extra bed. This made everyone else in the temple feel very strange. They didn’t know what happened between him and Xie Lingya, why he suddenly moved out, and why they spoke less – in fact, Shi Changxuan still spoke the same way as before, but Xie Lingya spoke less.
However, if they had a quarrel, why should he still live in the rented house in Baoyang Temple? Moreover, when eating and not having classes, Shi Changxuan still stayed in the temple, except that he slept in a different place, otherwise it was just like before.
No one dared to ask Shi Changxuan, but they couldn’t find out anything either when they asked Xie Lingya. This guy always avoided the question, which made everyone very curious.
Before Xie Lingya sorted out his thoughts, he first felt the power of habit.
He and Shi Changxuan had lived together for so long that they had developed many habits. When he suddenly lost this person, he felt really awkward, as he had clearly done many of the things before, and many of them did not even exist.
Especially since Xie Lingya’s hand had not fully recovered yet, he missed Shi Changxuan even more when he encountered inconveniences. Now it was Xiao Dian’s turn to take care of Xie Lingya, but they had different styles and Xiao Dian was not as attentive as Shi Changxuan.
Xie Lingya couldn’t help but sigh. No wonder Shi Changxuan was so caring towards him. Now that he thought about it, he didn’t notice it at all before. It seemed like he had cheated on him without realizing it.
….
Xie Lingya had something hidden in his heart and couldn’t tell anyone in the temple, otherwise they would find out. But he was really in a difficult situation, so when he was in school, he confided in a graduate student classmate who seemed to be a nice person.
After hearing this, the classmate said: “Do you really not like your friend? Otherwise, why are you so embarrassed that you don’t want to listen to her anymore?”
After hearing what he said, Xie Lingya hesitated: “… Impossible, I didn’t think so much, I was very shocked at the time.”
“You should let her finish,” the classmate said, “Don’t you want to know why she likes you?”
Xie Lingya: “It must be because I am good-looking and excellent. Everyone who confessed to me said so.”
Classmate: “……”
Xie Lingya: “Classmate, where are you going?”
Classmate: “…I don’t want to chat with you anymore, go find someone else.”
Xie Lingya pulled the man back: “No, give me some advice! I’m just kidding!” In fact, he felt that considering Shi Changxuan’s level of thinking, there might be other reasons, but he didn’t have the nerve to listen at that time.
“Ah…” The classmate sighed resentfully, and then said, “It’s quite difficult. You don’t dislike her, so if you don’t agree, you can have a friendship… By the way, what do you mean by a friendship that has gone through life and death together? What did you do to help her?”
Xie Lingya: “Oh… We always go to dungeons together when playing games.”
Classmate: “…”
Classmate: “You are a like-minded person, and you have a good relationship anyway. It would be very heartless if you don’t even try, then you probably won’t even be able to be friends. But if it doesn’t work out after trying, it would be very embarrassing. In my opinion, it’s better to give it a try. If it works out, you’ll be no longer single. Anyway, failure and rejection have the same result.”
“The result is the same, but the process is different.” Xie Lingya said anxiously.
“No, you don’t dislike her, and you have the same hobbies, so what’s wrong with going on a date and trying to develop that relationship?” His classmates looked at him strangely.
The classmates didn’t know that there was another issue involved, which was gender. Xie Lingya just thought that he didn’t seem to mind it, but he must be cautious.
Xie Lingya said hesitantly: “Well, thank you, I’ll think about it, don’t tell anyone.”
The classmate just nodded when he saw Professor Zhu coming. Then they both stood up and greeted him.
“It’s okay, sit down, I want to chat with Xie Lingya.” Professor Zhu said.
When the classmate heard that he was going to chat with Xie Lingya, he found an excuse to go out.
