After The Honest Person Was Discovered For Simultaneously Pursuing Three People - Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Come Home With Me

The sound of the hair dryer lasted for five or six minutes, and the dorm lights were turned off.

“Good night.”

A low, cold voice came from the bed on the right. Tao Ning was stunned for a moment and replied softly: “Good night.” But he didn’t go to sleep immediately. He communicated with the system in his mind:

System, I think Xu Jun is a very good person. I might be able to complete the mission of targeting him, but I can’t seem to target Song Yuceng… But sometimes, I also feel that he’s not that bad. Well, I’m not saying he’s a bad person, it’s just that his words are a little hurtful, and I don’t like it.

He had now completely let down his guard and could communicate his thoughts with the system.

System: Little dummy, you have a very good temper. If it were me, I would have already cursed at him for three hundred rounds. So what do you want to do next?

I don’t know. Let’s finish Xu Jun’s solo route mission first.

Tao Ning thought groggily. Maybe he really had to learn from the story in the ‘Legend of Secret Crushes’ and attract Xu Jun’s attention. He suddenly remembered a question and his mind became a little clearer. Do I need to let Xu Jun know that I have a crush on him?

This time, the answer was the familiar mechanical voice: No, but you need to make him feel it. Note that all published missions are to help the host better complete the targeting. If the host performs well, the mission can be ended early.

This meant that the duration of the “crush” could be shortened. Tao Ning was a little happy. He was most worried about missions that were long and had no standard answer. If he didn’t do well, he would be punished. So when he learned that the mission could be ended early, his originally sleepy body became excited.

He poked his head out from under the covers. The person on the right bed was not moving, so he must have been asleep.

Tao Ning secretly got out of bed, took the game console to his bed, and with his back to the other bed, he turned on the game console. He read the manual for a while and then turned it on.

Playing games had become Tao Ning’s second hobby besides doing problems. Because Oksen College’s official classes didn’t start until next Monday, these three days were for students to report to school. Tao Ning felt that it was probably fine to go to bed a little late.

“Playing with electronic products in the dark is bad for your eyes.” A cold voice suddenly came from behind him.

Tao Ning was startled. He turned around and said guiltily: “You’re not asleep yet? I’m sorry for being so loud…”

The person in the dark didn’t reply. Instead, he said: “Close your eyes.”

Although he didn’t know why, Tao Ning obediently did as he was told. In an instant, all the lights in the dorm turned on. If he hadn’t closed his eyes just now, the bright fluorescent light might have suddenly hurt his eyes.

His eyelids moved. Tao Ning adjusted to the light for a while, opened his eyes, and saw Xu Jun taking off his clothes.

He said he would work out on weekends, and it was true. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and the faint lines of his abs disappeared into his pants. His muscles were smooth and firm, not exaggerated, but pleasing to the eye.

Tao Ning lowered his head, thinking it was not good to watch others take off their clothes, but he suddenly remembered the ‘secret crush’ mission and looked up again. At this time, Xu Jun had already changed into his casual clothes.

He said sincerely: “You have a really good physique.”

To have a crush on someone, you have to make him feel it without him knowing it. Can this be done through compliments? Tao Ning had never had a crush before, so he could only try.

Xu Jun’s action of adjusting his cuff links paused slightly. He asked calmly: “Thank you. Do you like this kind of body?”

Tao Ning was never stingy with compliments: “Yes.”

“Hmm, then do you want to go to the gym with me this weekend?”

“Okay… what?”

Tao Ning was a little confused. At this time, the fully dressed man had already walked over. Was it an illusion? In the middle of the night, his cold voice seemed to have softened: “Do you mind if I sit on your bed?”

“I don’t mind.” So Tao Ning watched him bring the stool to the side of the bed. Because he was close to the edge of the bed, the man’s legs were crossed, and his hands were clasped on his legs. He was in a relaxed posture. No one who saw this would think that it was time to go to bed.

“Official classes don’t start until next week, so you can’t go back this weekend. So do you want to come to my place? I can take you to the gym.” The man paused. Those cold eyes narrowed. “Or do you want to go back to the Song family’s place?”

Xu Jun had a complete understanding of Tao Ning’s information and knew that he was currently staying with the Song family. When he mentioned the words ‘Song family’, his tone became heavy.

Tao Ning shook his head. “No, I’ll go back with you.” He now considered Xu Jun a friend. The Song family was sponsoring him, after all, so it was not good to bother them too much. So it was better not to go back if there was nothing to do. His sparkling eyes curved up. “Thank you.”

But he was also a little worried. “Will your family mind?”

“No.” Xu Jun’s answer was decisive. “…I can play games with you now.”

Tao Ning’s eyes widened. He instantly put all his worries and concerns behind him. He picked up the game console and moved like a small animal to the head of the bed. He poked his head out. “Do you know how to play?”

The distance between them was shortened because of the boy’s movement. Xu Jun changed his posture. His legs were tilted to the sides, slightly hunched over. His upper body was closer to the person who was leaning over. He sniffed the sweet scent in the air almost imperceptibly and gave a faint “hmm.”

The two game consoles could connect, and Tao Ning was very excited. He gave him one. So for the rest of the time, the two of them played video games in the middle of the night.

The man seemed to have completely forgotten about his “punctual bedtime” rule.

They were basically playing competitive or fighting games. Tao Ning won more often, but it was only a close call, and it was because he had played many times and was very skilled at operating them. In contrast, Xu Jun probably didn’t usually play, but he was also good at it. From being clumsy at the beginning, he quickly mastered the key points within a few minutes.

The two of them fought fiercely in the game. Neither of them gave in. Their victories were both close calls. This made Tao Ning feel a strong sense of competitiveness. But just as he was not satisfied, Xu Jun put down the game console and said blandly: “You should go to sleep.”

Tao Ning was like a teenager addicted to games. He couldn’t bear to part with the game console in his hand. He blinked and asked him in a soft voice: “Can we play for a little while longer?”

As the boy’s plea was like a spoiled child’s, the sweet lemon scent in the air became more concentrated. Xu Jun’s gaze was calm, but he couldn’t help but hold his breath. After all, he didn’t seem to be able to resist such a temptation. After a moment, his voice was slightly hoarse: “No. It’s time to sleep.”

Tao Ning lowered his head in frustration and said a gloomy “oh.”

The person next to the bed pondered: “Come home with me tomorrow. I can play with you for two days.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

“That’s great! Thank you. You’re so nice… Then, good night.”

“Good night.”

The next morning, Tao Ning woke up groggily and saw Xu Jun wearing a sleeveless vest and reading. The smooth lines of his arm muscles were completely exposed to the person who had just woken up. Tao Ning thought: I wish I had that kind of body.

When he came back after washing up, there was a bowl of vegetable porridge on the desk. The person behind him said blandly: “I made two portions for breakfast. We can leave after you’re done eating.”

“Thank you,” Tao Ning took a bite. The taste was neither too salty nor too bland. It was just right.

Xu Jun’s intention was for Tao Ning to stay at his place for two days, so Tao Ning brought two sets of clothes to change into. He didn’t put them in his own suitcase. He stuffed all of them into Xu Jun’s suitcase. He said it would be easier that way. Tao Ning was now very obedient to him and was also very happy.

Because he had almost no friends since he was a child, but Tao Ning knew that good friends would have sleepovers at each other’s houses. This was the first time he had a sleepover at a friend’s house, so he was very happy.

As a result, after he followed Xu Jun out, the phone in the dorm rang for a long time, and he didn’t know about it.
