After class ended, Qi Feng glanced at his phone and saw that Shen YueZhe had sent a dozen more texts, all further elaborating on his previous point.

But seeing how he said so much but didn’t get a reply from Qi Feng, he left one final message:

Shen YueZhe: Going to sleep now!

Looking at the timestamp, that was sent 15 minutes ago.

Qi Feng remorsefully sent a ‘good night’ emoji, explained that he was in class, then put away his phone.

There was another afternoon class at 3, but since Qi Feng and Ling Ke both slept late last night, they went back to their room to take a nap after lunch.

Due to Shen YueZhe’s words, Qi Feng thought back to all that happened b/t him and Ling Ke as he lied in his bed. From their 1st meeting where Ling Ke was cold and distant to their current inseparable friendship, to the incident with Xiao Zhi, to the piano duet, to the interview trip……

The other was sometimes cold yet sometimes warm, sometimes intimate yet sometimes distant, but no matter what, all of it tugged on his heart.

He always thought that Ling Ke was straight and had never doubted that before.

But now, knowing that the possibility of the other being not straight existed, Qi Feng’s heart ping-ponged back and forth b/t thrilled and miserable, unable to fall asleep at all.

Having overused his brain, he was way too tired by the time afternoon classes started and thus, pillowed his head on his arms as he rested on the desk.

It was almost time for final exams so the professors would talk about what might be on the test. With his head facing Ling Ke, Qi Feng forced himself to keep his eyes open.

Soon, he started to get sleepy. The hand holding his pen became slack, and the lines he wrote on his notebook turned crooked and incoherent.

But every time he wanted to close his eyes, he’d look at Ling Ke. Seeing the other’s straight back and serious attitude, he would feel that he could still force himself to last a little longer.

However, Qi Feng eventually just ended up staring at Ling Ke while spacing out……

……The person he liked was so amazing, so devoted to everything he did……

It wasn’t until Ling Ke noticed Qi Feng staring blankly at him while looking half dead, that he realized the other had fallen asleep w/ slightly opened eyes.

Feeling helpless and wanting to laugh, Ling Ke reached over for the other’s notebook, but Qi Feng, who hadn’t been moving at all earlier, suddenly grabbed his hand.

Ling Ke shivered, then explained in a quiet voice, “You can sleep for a while. I’ll take notes for you.”

After a brief struggle, Qi Feng closed his eyes, but still didn’t let go of the other’s hand.

Ling Ke tried to pull his hand free and failed, so he quickly dragged both their hands under the table.

During this, Qi Feng still didn’t let go, but he did slightly knit his brows. Ling Ke wasn’t sure if that was an unconscious reaction, or if the other was doing this on purpose……
