Did Not Say Anything About My Feelings - Chapter 10 Part 2
Lin Ye took off his down jacket and put it on the back of an empty chair. After he hesitated for a moment, he squeezed between the two of them and sat down.
Ming Rang leaned over and placed one hand on his shoulder, handing his phone to Lin Ye with his other hand, “Who do you think is the most beautiful?”
On the screen was a group photo of a new girl group in China. Lin Ye took the phone, his gaze lingering on their faces for a few seconds. Finally, he pointed at the Centre of the group that was standing in the middle, “This one.”
(T/N: Not sure if I’ve explained this already, the Centre of the group doesn’t mean the literal center. It’s more of a figurative ‘Centre’. The Centre is someone who’s considered the ‘main’ person in the group, that normally has the most lines in the group. Basically, the main representative of the group)
Ming Rang held his chin as he said thoughtfully, “Is this your type?”
Lin Ye did not answer and passed the phone to Jiang Lian, “Take a look.”
“You don’t have to show Jiang Lian,” Ming Rang turned his face to the side, “He’s not interested in this sort of thing.”
Lin Ye smiled when he heard those words and retracted his hand. However, he did not say that the truth was, he was not interested in this sort of thing either.
He slowly raised his gaze to look at the side of Jiang Lian’s face, suddenly recalling the day he had came to look for Jiang Lian to borrow a hairdryer. He had lied at that time. He was not only gay, but he also had a boyfriend before.
He stopped that train of thought, but when he raised his hand, his elbow bumped into Jiang Lian’s shoulder and Ming Rang’s phone fell from the palm of his hand onto the ground. Lin Ye sat up straight and saw the light shining from next to Jiang Lian’s right leg, but he was sitting on the left side of Jiang Lian.
Lin Ye hesitated for a moment, but when he saw that the other party had no intention of helping him pick up the phone, he could only turn to the side and bend his waist, his arms passing under Jiang Lian’s knees, stretching his fingertips out to try to grab the phone with a lit-up screen.
The actual distance was longer than what he had estimated. Lin Ye had one hand holding the edge of the sofa as he raised his head to look at him, “Move your leg to the side a little, I can’t reach it.”
Jiang Lian was wearing his headphone with drooping eyelids, one hand on his forehead. Most of his face was hidden by shadows and he looked cold and distant. It was very obvious that he was in a bad mood.
He did not seem to have heard Lin Ye’s words, but at the same time, he seemed to have heard them but was too lazy to answer him.
Before entering the door, Jiang Lian had been standing in a place that blocked the light, which made it hard for Lin Ye to see his face. Lin Ye had not noticed the expression on the other’s face. At that moment, he realized that there was a tiredness in the other’s eyes. Lin Ye instantly came to a realization. These two had probably been woken up by the trainees who had returned to their dorms at this time, and that was the only reason why their room was lit up in the wee hours.
Lin Ye raised his hand to knock on the headphones on Jiang Lian’s head. Jiang Lian raised his eyelids to look at him.
Lin Ye pointed at the ground and said loudly, “The phone.”
Only then did Jiang Lian say, “I can hear you.”
After that, he moved his legs towards the right and gave him some space.
Lin Ye leaned over to pick it up again. The phone was just right there, but he still felt that his arms were not long enough. He stretched his fingertips to reach for the edge of the phone but ended up pushing it a little further. Lin Ye finally ran out of patience and could not hold himself back from directly patting Jiang Lian’s slightly raised knees, to give him the signal to move his leg a little more.
The two long legs in front of him did not move at all, and there was a shadow above him suddenly, covering most of the light in his vision.
Lin Ye held onto Jiang Lian’s knee with one hand and raised his head. Unexpectedly, he saw Jiang Lian’s face that was suddenly closer due to his bent waist.
His mouth rubbed against the corner of Jiang Lian’s lips, not very lightly, but not with a lot of force either.
Lin Ye’s eyes widened suddenly, his eyes showing how stunned he was.
Jiang Lian’s expression was shocked as well. He had not expected it.
The temperature in the dormitory seemed to have been raised by someone, and there seemed to be a heatwave in the room suddenly. The heat penetrated Lin Ye’s pajamas collar and moved around very close to his skin.
Lin Ye felt so hot that he was about to sweat.
The next second, Jiang Lian threw the mobile phone in his hands into Lin Ye’s arms and raised his fingertips to wipe the corner of his lips.
Lin Ye’s eyes landed on Jiang Lian’s face. He immediately forgot the feeling that caused his face to heat up and his heartbeat to speed up. He had a complex feeling coming from the bottom of his heart. After a moment, as if with the intent of taking revenge, he said, “Don’t worry, I don’t have anything dirty on my mouth.”
Jiang Lian’s hands stopped moving, and for the first time that night, he had a smile on his face.
He removed his headphones and laughed as Lin Ye gazed at him, “Vengeful person.”
