    Most of the courses in the university are staggered, the classrooms are not fixed, and different classes and departments are often collocated. There are both large and small classes, and the beginning and ending hours are different. So most of the time, only half of the classrooms in the school buildings are full of people.
    
    Apart from today.
    
    On the first day of school, the whole school had class meetings. Every class was full of people, and it coincided with the end of class hours in the evening. Crowds of people came out of the school buildings, and only when they reached the avenue did they scatter to different directions, such as the dormitory, outside the school, and the canteen.
    
    At this moment, with the bell for the end of class, the students filed out of the classrooms.
    
    It was also at this moment that Ji Mingxia pulled Yu Ning and walked out of the teacher's office.
    
    It was no exaggeration to say that everyone who saw the two remained with their eyes fixed on them.
    
    Yu Ning was born to be the focus of the crowd.
    
    Before going to college, although people loathed him, their eyes would unconsciously fall on him. But because of the rumors about him, people would deliberately turn a blind eye to him. Although he had their attention, it was the negative type that was filled with malice.
    
    After coming to college, he had the halo as the god of learning, and fans all over the school. Everyone paid attention to him, even far beyond a public figure like Ye Tian.
    
    And Ji Mingxia, as a low key person, has always been afraid of being given such attention.
    
    He liked to make friends, make people laugh, and to live freely but he didn’t want to be the center of the crowd, nor did want people to pay attention to his every move and every detail.
    
    If it was usual, Ji Mingxia would have avoided these eyes and quickly walked away with his head lowered.
    
    But not now.
    
    The crowd in front of him was looking at him, and so was Yu Ning who was behind him.
    
    Since he promised to face everything with Yu Ning, he couldn’t back down at a time like this.
    
    He was being watched by so many people and his heartbeat unconsciously accelerated because of his nervousness. His palms also broke out in cold sweat.
    
    However, he had an advantage that although he was panicking in his heart, it would not show on the surface.
    
    To onlookers, Ji Mingxia was very calm. He pulled Yu Ning down the stairs as if no one else was there.
    
    And Yu Ning, who had always been alone and seemed unattainable and completely unapproachable, was actually following Ji Mingxia obediently.
    
    Ji Mingxia walked ahead, pulling Yu Ning's sleeve. Yu Ning's face looked cold, but there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and the eyes that looked at Ji Mingxia were extraordinarily soft.
    
    The two left the school building and one after the other, walked through the campus area.
    
    Along the way, there were many onlookers and whispers, but Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning turned a blind eye. They didn’t speed up their pace, nor did they deliberately slow down their pace for people to watch. They nonchalantly walked to the boys' dormitory.
    
    Ji Mingxia opened the dormitory door, and pulled Yu Ning in.
    
    The moment the door closed, Ji Mingxia's hand stiffly let go of Yu Ning's sleeve and then he crawled towards the bed in a weak manner.
    
    His limbs were stiff, his waist was injured, and he couldn't climb up the stairs. So he directly sat down on the stairs.
    
    Yu Ning followed from behind and held him in time so Ji Mingxia's waist and back rested on his lap, while his hand held Ji Mingxia's shoulder so that he could sit comfortably.
    
    "Being a heartthrob is not something ordinary people can be." Ji Mingxia was held by Yu Ning and the posture was so comfortable that he went soft and leaned against Yu Ning with a sigh.
    
    The corners of Yu Ning's mouth twitched into a smile at Ji Mingxia's sigh.
    
    "You’re laughing, don't you think it's scary?" Ji Mingxia couldn't help but ask.
    
    They were surrounded by people the whole way, and so many pairs of eyes were staring. Ji Mingxia simply felt as if something was wrong with his whole body.
    
    He pulled Yu Ning the whole way and almost lost consciousness. He felt a lot of people secretly filming them and for some reason, a thought emerged in his mind: he hoped his pants were zipped  _(:3"∠)_
    
    The moment this thought came up, Ji Mingxia became even more uncomfortable. It was fine if he was photographed with Yu Ning, but what if the photo was a little indecent!
    
    After returning to the dormitory, he hurriedly looked down to make sure he was neat and tidy, then breathed a sigh of relief, and then could not help but spit on himself in his heart.
    
    Yu Ning listened to Ji Mingxia's ramblings and couldn't help but lower his head and gently rub it against Ji Mingxia.
    
    He was sitting a step higher than Ji Mingxia, and when he lowered his head, it gently rubbed against Ji Mingxia's forehead.
    
    "I am very happy that you came back with me." Yu Ning whispered.
    
    Ji Mingxia felt Yu Ning's hair brush over his forehead, like a feather gently brushing past the tip of his heart, and his face reddened all of a sudden. At Yu Ning's words, he averted his gaze somewhat unnaturally, "We're going to be scolded to death, what's there to be happy about."
    
    Although his mouth was harsh, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up a little.
    
    If they want to scold them, so be it. he and Yu Ning were still good friends anyway.
    
    This was what Ji Mingxia thought in his heart.
    
    At that moment, the door of the dormitory was opened with a "click".
    
    Lin Cheng and Luo Zixuan were students of the same class, so they came back to the dormitory together.
    
    The moment they entered, they saw Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning sitting on the steps, leaning against each other and their eyes widened in surprise.
    
    Ji Mingxia hurriedly sat up straight and took the initiative to greet them, "You're back."
    
    "Mm-hmm." Lin Cheng and Luo Zixuan managed to come back to their senses, and although they saw Ji Mingxia greeting them with a smile, Yu Ning, who was sitting behind him was looking at them coldly.
    
    Especially after seeing the lunch box they were carrying, Yu Ning's gaze coalesced like a substance.
    
    As if his hands were hot, Luo Zixuan quickly put the lunch box on the table and said to them, "This was handed over to us by the auntie. She said that Ji Mingxia's friend ordered for everyone."
    
    Luo Zixuan and Lin Cheng both carried lunch boxes in each hand, adding up to exactly four lunch boxes.
    
    Ji Mingxia took a closer look and found that the logo of the bags was of a nearby five-star restaurant.
    
    At the sight of this pompous takeout, Ji Mingxia didn’t have to guess that it was Ye Chen's handiwork.
    
    "This...... I told Ye Tian that there is no need to send food, so why.... ?"Ji Mingxia looked at Lin Cheng and Luo Zixua, and then looked at Yu Ning. "Do you guys mind eating?"
    
    Lin Cheng and Luo Zixuan did not dare to answer.
    
    The cafeteria of H University had normal dishes, but they were just ordinary.
    
    The chef of this restaurant was a well-known person, and the fragrance of his dishes wafted through the lunch box.
    
    After a full day of classes, everyone was hungry. If the situation was normal, Lin Cheng and Luo Zixuan would definitely nod yes.
    
    But Yu Ning's presence was so strong that the desire to live made them shut their mouths.
    
    Ji Mingxia also looked at Yu Ning.
    
    Yu Ning said, "Since it's the other party’s good intention, and the meal is already delivered, let's eat."
    
    He then took the initiative to get up and unpack the lunch box.
    
    The aroma faintly wafted out from the bag, and the moment the lunch box was opened, the whole dormitory was filled with the fresh aroma of food.
    
    When Yu Ning moved, Lin Cheng and Luo Zixuan were also not polite, after thanking Ji Mingxia, they each opened a lunch box.
    
    Yu Ning opened two by himself. His and Ji Mingxia's beds were next to each other and their desks were also close together, so the two of them ate together.
    
    Lin Cheng and Luo Zixuan rightfully sat across from each other, and the four teamed up in twos to quickly eat up all of the food.
    
    After finishing the meal, Yu Ning took the initiative to pack up the takeaway, and Lin Cheng on the other side also packed up, and the two went downstairs to throw away the garbage.
    
    The door was closed with a click, and the dormitory was quiet again.As soon as Yu Ning and Lin Chen left, Ji Mingxia was just about to take out his phone to look at it when Luo Zixuan came over and asked: "Mingxia, they say that Yu Ning and Ye Tian are chasing you, is it true?"
    
    Ji Mingxia was prepared to be questioned by his roommates, but he never expected such an explosive question as soon as Luo Zixuan opened his mouth.
    
    He was caught off guard and almost choked on his own saliva. Only after a few seconds did he manage to slow down and ask in shock, "Who said that, how could there be such a rumor?"
    
    "It's being spread all over the internet." Luo Zixuan said. He casually clicked on a post, and didn't say anything else but showed two photos.
    
    One was a picture of Ye Tian coming to Ji Mingxia on her own initiative, and the other was a picture of Yu Ning, alos coming to Ji Mingxia on his own initiative.
    
    One came in the morning and stayed with Ji Mingxia until afternoon hours; the other came in the evening after school and went back to the dormitory with Ji Mingxia.
    
    In one day, two popular figures got involved with Ji Mingxia, and the school exploded.
    
    It would be fine if Ji Mingxia took the initiative to find the two, but Ji Mingxia was sitting in the classroom obediently, and it was Ye Tian and Yu Ning who took the initiative from beginning to end. How could this not be shocking?
    
    Ji Mingxia never thought that it would be like this, and his face turned green: “I haven’t known Ye Tian for a long time, we just have a very ordinary relationship.”
    
    Luo Zixuan obviously didn’t believe him: "This morning, noon and evening, someone sent you lunch boxes...."
    
    "It's not from Ye Tian, it's from Ye Tian's brother, Ye Chen." Ji Mingxia hurriedly explained, " I helped them a small favor and in order to thank me, they sent these. Ye Tian came to my class to ask about my situation, nothing happened at all."
    
    Luo Zixuan listened with skepticism: "What about Yu Ning, someone proved that you two had been together since high school."
    
    "How is that possible!" Ji Mingxia hurriedly said.
    
    "It is said that you two often hugged in class and almost came out of the closet." Luo Zixuan commented while looking at the post.
    
    In Ji Mingxia's mind, the image of the two of them being caught hugging after dealing with Lin Siyun's ghostly shadow came to mind.
    
    Ji Mingxia: "......" I can not refute that.
    
    Luo Zixuan added: "You went together on vacation, and even slept in a couple’s room....."
    
    In Ji Mingxia's mind, the couple's double room in the Quanzhuang also came to mind.
    
    Ji Mingxia: "......"
    
    Once again, he can not refute, but ...... who sold him out.
    
    Luo Zixuan continued, "You two also sleep together often, and were inseparable..."
    
    This time without waiting for Ji Mingxia to answer, he nodded in confirmation.
    
    Ji Mingxia: "......"
    
    The images of him and Yu Ning sleeping together were too many to count, so ......he still couldn't refute ......
    
    Luo Zixuan finally said, "If you're really with Yu Ning, admit it, I’m pretty optimistic about you guys."
    
    Ji Mingxia: ......I can’t afford to fall to the ground.
    
    "We're really not a couple, I swear to God." Ji Mingxia said.
    
    But his feeble rebuttal was as good as nothing.
    
    Ji Mingxia wilted, this was a pile of seemingly ironclad evidence, but he and Yu Ning really didn’t do anything ah!
    
    At this time, a cough came from outside the door.
    
    Ji Mingxia and Luo Zixuan raised their heads, only to find that the one making the noise was Lin Cheng.
    
    He and Yu Ning stood at the door of the dormitory, and it was unknown as to how long they had been standing and how much they had heard away.
    
    Once Luo Zixuan saw Yu Ning, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He acted as if nothing had happened, picked up the phone and ran back to his bed in a flash.
    
    He left Ji Mingxia sitting awkwardly in his seat as he nervously watched Yu Ning and Lin Cheng walk in.
    
    But surprisingly, Yu Ning's expression was very calm. Ji Mingxia was sitting stiffly in his seat and looking at him nervously, and Yu Ning even took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong?"
    
    "No, nothing." Ji Mingxia immediately shook his head.
    
    It seemed that Yu Ning didn't hear anything, and Ji Mingxia immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
    
    At the beginning of the new semester, everyone was still adjusting to the environment, and there was no homework and no class schedule.
    
    After eating, the four took turns to wash up and finish doing their own things.
    
    Ji Mingxia's phone had been vibrating since the evening. He was busy with dinner earlier, but he now had the time. He picked up the phone and replied to messages.
    
    It was nearly twelve o'clock by the time he was done, and Lin Cheng and Luo Zixuan had long since fallen asleep.
    
    These two people had the habit of snoring, and once they fell asleep, their soft snores rang out in the dormitory.
    
    Ji Mingxia got out of bed and turned off the light. Just as he returned to the bed, someone grabbed his hand.
    
    In the darkness, Ji Mingxia could not see clearly, his waist was not well, and his every step was wobbly as he tried walking around.
    
    After grabbing Ji Mingxia's hand, the man gently pulled it, and Ji Mingxia fell in his direction.
    
    “Yu...Yu Ning!" Ji Mingxia lowered his voice and exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
    
    "Your waist needs to be massaged." Yu Ning's voice came next to his ear.
    
    Ji Mingxia felt Yu Ning's hand going down his spine, and was dazed.
    
    Too many sudden situations had happened today and he almost forgot about it!
    
    Objectively speaking, Yu Ning's massage technique was very good.  After his massage, not only did not have any redness, swelling and abrasion, but the injured area was relieved.
    
    But...
    
    Ji Mingxia couldn't help but think of the questions Luo Zixuan asked him a few hours ago.
    
    "In fact, this injury is not that serious, you massaged it all night yesterday, so it’s almost healed ......umm ......"
    
    Ji Mingxia was halfway through his sentence when Yu Ning applied some force on the sprained area of his waist.
    
    The soreness exploded from the area, and the current-like pleasure climbed from the spine all the way to his brain.
    
    "Gently, gently, gently ......" Ji Mingxia hurriedly whispered.
    
    Yu Ning paused, then his fingers gently caressed over the skin, looking for the next location.
    
    That seemingly non-existent touch hovered around his waist, like a feather brushing on his itch, and Ji Mingxia got goosebumps all over his body. He hurriedly shrank his waist, and changed his words: “Harder…”
    
    Yu Ning chuckled, then pinpointed the position and landed on the injured area again.
    
    He seemed to use a little more force than yesterday, but the position he pressed was too precise, and Ji Mingxia felt both pain and soreness, and the feeling was indescribable.
    
    In order to avoid groaning, Ji Mingxia hurriedly closed his mouth tightly, and didn’t dare to speak at all.
    
    At first, he planned to wait until Yu Ning was tired before telling him that there was no need to massage him from tomorrow, lest everyone be embarrassed if Luo Zixuan and Lin Cheng bumped into them.
    
    But Ji Mingxia waited and waited, but Yu Ning’s hand never stopped. He was massaged so comfortably that sleepiness came in a steady stream.
    
    When Ji Mingxia opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright, and the sound of his roommates changing clothes and folding quilts could be heard.
    
    This time, Ji Mingxia had some experience. He slowly sat up from the bed and found that he was really lying alone in bed, Ji Mingxia poked his head down. Sure enough, Yu Ning had already bought breakfast and was sitting at his desk waiting for him.
    
    Ji Mingxia cursed himself for sleeping like this but he got up resignedly. He had breakfast, and then left the dorm with Yu Ning to go to class.
    
    With yesterday’s experience, Ji Mingxia, who was mentally prepared today, faced the onlookers again and was much calmer.
    
    In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
    
    The freshmen gradually adapted to university life. At first, the gossip between Ji Mingxia, Yu Ning and Ye Tian was discussed vigorously, but after seeing the parties concerned not taking it seriously, more fresh gossip gradually took over. Everyone’s attention was diverted and they gradually lost interest in the matter of Ji Mingxia, Yu Ning and Ye Tian.
    
    As for the direction of public opinion on the Internet, it was not within Ji Mingxia’s expectations.
    
    He was prepared to be torn apart by Yu Ning’s fans, but strangely enough, when the secretly filmed video of him and Yu Ning walking together was spread, most of his fans not only didn’t abuse him, they even kowtowed to him.
    
    This was all thanks to the earlier post that exposed the deskmate. It contained a lot of small details of how Ji Mingxia took care of Yu Ning in high school, as well as the most critical evidence— Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia, both wearing a blood red ring on their hands.
    
    The physical evidence was in front of them, making Yu Ning’s fans particularly receptive to Ji Mingxia.
    
    The short video of Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning was also very well made.
    
    Yu Ning already had a high face value, Ji Mingxia was also above the ordinary level, the two walking together was unexpectedly eye-catching. Not only did it not drive fans away, but also attracted a lot of passersby.
    
    In the end, except for a few of Yu Ning’s extreme fans that made trouble on a small-scale, most people calmly accepted Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia’s relationship.
    
    Whether the public opinion on the Internet was good or bad, Ji Mingxia could ignore it as long as it did not affect his life.
    
    In the university, the words and deeds of the students were controlled by the university so they would not affect Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning’s daily lives.
    
    In the end, the matter ended in a very calm way. Instead, the only thing that bothered Ji Mingxia were the two siblings, Ye Tian and Ye Chen.
    
    Although Ji Mingxia had made it clear that what happened that day was just a simple gesture of help and that it did not need their extra thanks, neither Ye Tian nor Ye Chen seemed to listen.
    
    Ye Chen sent Ji Mingxia lunch boxes for more than half a month, and although Ye Tian didn’t come to visit Ji Mingxia again, she sent a masseur to his door and it took him a lot of effort to send him away. The next day, Ji Mingxia received a gift of ice compresses, massagers and other things from Ye Tian ……
    
    September calmly passed by, and everything was peaceful until the name Ye Tian was once again on the campus forum one afternoon.
    
    By the time people clicked on the forum, all the posts had been cleared and all information about Ye Tian that afternoon had been deleted.
    
    Although the Ye family’s means were thunderous, they ultimately couldn’t stop the gossip from spreading.
    
    Someone like Ji Mingxia who doesn’t listen to gossip also learned from his classmates that something happened to Ye Tian.
