The Top-Tier School Hunk Has Been Targeted by the Cold CEO - Chapter 7

As soon as those words were spoken, Bai Yang raised his eyes to look at him.

Bai Yang appeared a bit embarrassed. “This might not be appropriate.”

Yan Xun gave him a look. “What is not appropriate?”

“We are both men. What is the big deal about touching some abs? In the dorm next to mine, there are two guys who even help each other out while watching movies.”

He truly had a knack for saying things that could shock someone to death.

Bai Yang’s lips twitched, and he let out two awkward coughs. “You college students certainly have quite the variety of entertainment.”

“You bet.”

As he spoke, Yan Xun applied a bit of force and pressed Bai Yang’s hand onto his abdominal muscles. He said quite generously, “Buddy, feel as much as you want. Do not be polite with me!”

Bai Yang: “…”

He lowered his gaze, concealing the burning, flickering light in his eyes. Slightly rough fingertips brushed against the skin of the stomach, bringing a warm sensation that reminded him of the hot springs he had visited on a snowy mountain last year.

The sharp contrast between cold and heat made it feel as though one could smell the intoxicating scent of flowers on a snowy night, making the very soul drift away with the fragrance. Bai Yang’s fingertips trembled slightly. Fortunately, Yan Xun, whose reaction time was notoriously long, did not notice.

Yan Xun was still directing him. “Buddy, move your hand up a bit. Right, right there at the stomach. Can you feel how bloated I am from eating so much?”

Bai Yang’s well-defined fingers gradually moved upward.

“Mm, you really did overeat.”

When the fingertips accidentally brushed past a place they should not have gone, Yan Xun’s entire body stiffened. Seeing his reaction out of the corner of his eye, Bai Yang calmly moved his fingers away.

“Sorry.”

Yan Xun shook his head generously. “It is nothing. We are both guys; there is no need to be so sensitive.”

In just an instant, Yan Xun returned to his usual carefree self. He simply assumed Bai Yang had been careless and did not give it another thought. He pulled his shirt down, reached out to pick up his glass, and took a sip of milk. A bit of pure white milk stained the corner of his mouth, and he casually stuck out his tongue to lick it off.

Bai Yang: “…”

With just that one look, the depth in his eyes intensified significantly.

Yan Xun was completely oblivious. “The milk at your place is really delicious.”

Only then did Bai Yang regain his composure, saying warmly, “Since you like it, take some back with you later.”

Yan Xun was not one for fake politeness. He had already eaten a seafood feast; why would he worry about a little extra milk? He immediately nodded and thanked him.

Bai Yang smiled, not mentioning anything about sending Yan Xun home. Instead, he asked politely, “I see you like playing games. I happen to have an imported gaming console. Would you like to play for a bit?”

At such a fun-loving age, how could he refuse such a temptation? He definitely had to play.

Anyone who plays games knows that once you get into the zone, it is impossible to stop.

After Yan Xun got the controller in his hands, he quickly entered an immersive state. By the time he realized what was happening, the night had already grown deep. Yan Xun put down the controller sheepishly and turned to look at Bai Yang beside him.

“Um, I accidentally stayed too long.”

Bai Yang gave a soft response, looking out the window as if checking the time before glancing down at his watch. He said with some difficulty, “Yes, it is quite late. Should I send you back to school now?”

“Now?” Yan Xun immediately rubbed the back of his head awkwardly, looking pitiful. “President Bai, do you have an extra room here? Could you let me stay the night?”

After a pause, he explained, “The dorms closed ages ago. Normally, I could just climb over the wall to get back in, but you saw I just hurt my knee. The doctor said no strenuous exercise.”

Bai Yang’s face remained expressionless, appearing somewhat hesitant. “I see.”

Yan Xun: “President Bai, please be a good person and take me in for the night! Please!”

The young man was thick-skinned and quick-witted. He knew exactly when to use sweet words, showing no sense of shame at all. Bai Yang knit his brows, seemingly deep in thought for a moment, and sighed. “President Bai does not have any extra rooms here.”

Yan Xun’s lips curled downward, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Bai Yang’s next sentence.

“But as a buddy, there is an extra room.”

Yan Xun froze for a second, only then realizing that Bai Yang was joking. He happily gave a thumbs-up. “You gave me a heart attack! I knew you were a great guy!”

Bai Yang raised an eyebrow. “I can let you stay for the night, but I have one condition.”

The smile on Yan Xun’s face faltered. “What condition? I am just a broke college student. All I have is this young body and healthy organs.”

Bai Yang raised a hand and flicked him on the forehead. “Enough. No one wants your organs.”

Yan Xun covered his forehead and rubbed it.

Bai Yang then said, “From now on, do not call me President Bai, and do not call me ‘buddy’ either.”

Yan Xun: “Then what should I call you?”

Bai Yang: “Just call me… Brother?”

It was just a title; Yan Xun did not care at all. Calling him “Brother” in exchange for a night of free food and lodging was a great deal! He immediately cleared his throat and shouted loudly, “Brother!”

There were four rooms on the second floor, with the master bedroom at the end of the hallway. Bai Yang helped Yan Xun into the guest room next to the master bedroom and brought over a set of clean pajamas.

“The pajamas and bedding are new. Can you shower by yourself?”

Yan Xun picked up the pajamas and looked at them; the size was surprisingly perfect. He wondered if these wealthy families often had guests, since they had things like new pajamas ready. However, Yan Xun did not understand the world of the rich. He took the pajamas and was just about to head toward the bathroom when his eyes darted around, and he made another joke.

“Brother, if I cannot wash myself, are you going to help me?”

Having almost fallen for it once before, Bai Yang quickly saw through the straight guy’s joke this time. He let out a light chuckle, suddenly leaning forward and whispering into Yan Xun’s ear, “Of course… I won’t.”

Yan Xun sneered. “I knew you would not. Brother, I could tell just now that you are quite thin-skinned. Someone like you would die of embarrassment if you ever went to a public bathhouse in the Northeast.”

Bai Yang said nothing, watching the self-assured boy limp into the bathroom. The bathroom door closed, and soon, the sound of splashing water came from inside.

Bai Yang stood at the door for a while. His gaze fell upon the glass door panel, through which a vague silhouette could be seen. Bai Yang’s pupils contracted for a moment, and then a slow smile spread across his lips. At this moment, there was not a hint of embarrassment or gentleness on his face. His eyes were filled entirely with shrewdness and calculation.

A moment later, the water in the bathroom stopped. Yan Xun walked out of the bathroom with his hair soaking wet. After the shower, his skin had a faint pink tint, and even the color of his lips looked much fuller.

He froze when he opened the door and met Bai Yang’s deep gaze.

“Brother, you are still here?”

Realizing that the sentence was ambiguous, Yan Xun quickly corrected himself. “I mean, I thought you went to rest. I did not expect you to still be in my room.”
