Did Not Say Anything About My Feelings - Chapter 47. A Fight

In the afternoon, they had a picnic on the field in the park, the cameramen helped the trainees take many photos. Some people lay on the grass and suntanned, some people chased each other around loudly on the field, and some people sat close to each other, whispering among themselves.

The green field, the blue sky, the sunlight, and the youth, with their clean gazes and bright smiles, all of these made people’s hearts thump, causing them to be entranced by them.

Qiu Yi borrowed a phone from the staff members, asking the ‘Jungle Moonlight’ group members to come over and take a selfie together. The trainees sat close to each other on the white picnic mat, Qiu Yi sat in front and raised the phone.

He changed the camera to selfie mode, on the phone screen, there was a large face that was close to the camera and a group of small faces. Qiu Yi raised his eyebrow in unhappiness, “Why do I need to sit in front when my face is the biggest? Someone with a small face should take over.”

His teammates behind him sucked up to him, “Even if your face is big, you’re still handsome.”

Qiu Yi stood up, disagreeing with that statement. He used his palm to compare each of the seven people’s faces. Finally, he pulled Lin Ye up from the picnic mat, “Look at this, we have someone on our team with a palm-sized face,”

Lin Ye smiled casually, not taking it seriously. Then, he sat down at Qiu Yi’s original spot. The person closest to him changed from Ming Rang to Jiang Lian.

The phone screen was a little small, and eight was quite a large number. Lin Ye adjusted the camera angle many times but was unable to find a good angle. He could only turn his head around and told the others, “Can you guys come a little closer?”

The teammate that was at the edges of the camera placed his chin on the shoulder of the teammate in front of him, and Qiu Yi raised his arm to place it around Ming Rang’s shoulders, “Is it fine now?”

Lin Ye was still adjusting the phone in his hand, not speaking for a moment.

Ming Rang said, “Move backward a little.”

Lin Ye listened to him and moved backward slightly. His right arm touched the inside of Jiang Lian’s thigh, the two of them were sitting together, one in front of the other. Lin Ye’s body was leaned against the inner thigh of the leg that Jiang Lian had bent.

Qiu Yi extended his neck to look forward, “Why don’t you have Jiang Lian hug you.”

The others were already used to Qiu Yi’s occasional slightly dangerous words. Then, they looked at their other teammates, that were also in intimate positions, their chests touching the other’s backs. Upon seeing that, they felt that there was nothing wrong and all agreed.

Jiang Lian bent his other leg, his arms reaching below Lin Ye’s hands, hugging his waist and pulling him closer to his chest. His legs were separated, one on each side of Lin Ye, and the two arms that were around Lin Ye’s waist did not go away.

Lin Ye glanced at his other teammates’ faces in the camera. Their expressions were all normal as if they did not feel that there was anything out of the ordinary about his and Jiang Lian’s actions.

He relaxed, but he felt that it was quite uncomfortable, and thus followed Jiang Lian’s posture, separating their legs, and pressing them next to Jiang Lian’s.

Then, he slightly turned his head and looked behind him. He then leaned on Jiang Lian, in a way that did not block Jiang Lian’s face. Then, he made a peace sign with his left hand, his right hand raising the camera in his hand up high as he adjusted the camera angle, “I’ll take the photo now?”

The people behind him quickly made their hand signs, some made peace signs and placed them behind their teammates’ heads, some made a seven with their hands, and there was even someone who made a peace sign right in front of his eyes.

(T/N: Instead of seven, it’s eight in Chinese, because if you google, eight in Chinese is two strokes, in a mustache like shape, which ends up somewhat looking like the hand sign that’s described)

Lin Ye started to count down from three to one, and his teammates all smiled their signature smiles, Qiu Yi’s smile was wide, showing eight teeth, Ming Rang’s smile was slanted, with one corner of his lips higher than the other, Jiang Lian’s eyes had a slight smile, while Lin Ye’s smile was very average.

When he counted to one, Jiang Lian turned his head suddenly, and stopped close to Lin Ye’s face, his gaze on the side of Lin Ye’s face as he said, “There’s no need to raise the phone so high.”

His voice was not loud but it wasn’t soft either. Their teammates behind them heard what he said very clearly. It was just that no one had the time to react before Lin Ye pressed the button to take the photo.

Everyone was stunned, and Lin Ye opened the gallery to take a look. Seven of them in the photo, including Lin Ye, had a smile, only Jiang Lian had turned his head, not looking at the camera and instead, was looking at Lin Ye, so close to Lin Ye that it seemed like he was about to kiss him.

However, his teammates all knew that Jiang Lian did not want to kiss him. He had simply happened to turn his head to talk to Lin Ye. With that kind of misunderstanding, all the straight men were a little awkward.

Qiu Yi could not help hugging himself, acting as if he was rubbing the goosebumps on his arm, saying, “Hurry and take another photo.”

Lin Ye nodded his head, not deleting the photo in the gallery, and instead, returned to the camera, raising the phone in his hand again. This time, he did not raise the phone too high.

However, he had been unable to take the second photo.

The staff members came over to remind the trainees to pack up their things and prepare to get in the car back to the base. When everyone heard those words, they stood up and started to pack up the rubbish on the picnic mat and the snacks that had not finished.

The phone was also taken away by the employee to contact the driver, and although they felt like it was a pity, they said that they would take a photo again when they got on the bus. However, when they got on the bus, they remembered that they were not seated together in teams. Thus, they quickly forgot about the matter of the selfie.

The bus brought everyone back to the base. After Lin Ye and his roommates got off the bus, Xia Dongchan suggested that they go to the milk tea shop in the canteen.

The suggestion was approved of with no resistance and the six of them turned around to head to the canteen. After they entered the canteen, they realized that quite a few trainees were in the canteen eating, in pairs and groups.

They chose a clean table before they headed to the window of the milk tea shop to place their orders. Qiu Yi was also waiting for his milk tea with his roommates. Cheng Chi and Qi Huan took their bubble tea and stood at the side, while Qiu Yi made way for Lin Ye and Xia Dongchan.

Lin Ye skipped the desserts and looked through the milk tea. The employee brought over a dessert in a takeaway container, “Whose ginger milk curd is that?”

Qiu Yi hurriedly answered, “Mine! I ordered ginger milk curd!”

Lin Ye instantly looked up from the menu, “Ginger milk curd?”

Qiu Yi took the bag with the dessert and answered him, “It’s very tasty, do you want to try it?”

Lin Ye shook his head, his expression strange.

After they finished ordering, they took their order number and sat down at the table. While they were waiting for their milk tea, Cheng Chi asked Lin Ye about the advertisement filming from a few days ago, “How many people went?”

Lin Ye thought for a moment, “Four.”

Qiu Huan interrupted, “Only four?”

Lin Ye nodded and said yes.

Qi Huan’s expression was dark as he glanced at Cheng Chin, “Like I said, for something like filming an advertisement, there are so many trainees that have higher ranking and look better than Zhao Yisheng, how could he end up with the opportunity?”

Cheng Chi did not say anything, his gaze turning a little cold.

Xia Dongchan asked, “He tried to cause trouble again?”

Qi Huan said, “Didn’t a teacher come over to choose people for filming the advertisement a few days ago? Zhao Yisheng wasn’t present and I didn’t know his height, I accidentally said that he was shorter than he actually is, and he thought that I was targeting him on purpose.”

Xia Dongchan smiled but the smile did not reach his eyes, “Now, from his point of view, besides snatching his center position, you’ve also caused him to lose a chance to be in an advertisement.”

Qi Huan muttered, “Thankfully, we didn’t get put in the same hostel room as him.”

Right after he said that the others saw him put on a smiling face, waving his hand and greeting someone that was walking by behind Lin Ye and Xia Dongchan, “You two are here to drink milk tea too?”

Lin Ye turned around in response, happening to see Jiang Lian and Ming Rang walk past from behind him. Jiang Lian glanced at him but did not open his mouth to speak to Lin Ye. Instead, he walked over to another table with Ming Rang.

After the two of them sat down, they started talking, ignoring everyone around them. Lin Ye, who had originally wanted to talk to Jiang Lian, closed his mouth. Then, he turned back around casually, as if nothing happened.

However, he still glanced toward where Jiang Lian was sitting from the corner of his eyes. He did not manage to see Jiang Lian. Instead, he saw the employee that was bringing the milk tea over.

The person stopped next to Lin Ye’s table, passing them six cups of milk tea. Then, he placed a dessert that looked like double-skinned milk by Lin Ye’s hands.

Lin Ye did not reach out to take it. He told the store employee, “I only ordered a milk tea.”

The employee answered, “A handsome guy ordered it for you.”

Lin Ye’s expression was strange, “What’s this?”

“Ginger milk curd,” The employee smiled, “Our signature dessert.”

Lin Ye froze, the tips of his ears turning slightly red.

After the employee walked away, Qi Huan teased him, “A handsome guy ordered it? Everyone sitting in this canteen is handsome. Which handsome guy is he talking about?”

Lin Ye answered casually, “How would I know?”

Qi Huan pursed his lips, lowering his head to shake his milk tea. When he picked up the cup, he felt like something was wrong. He looked at it and realized that there were fruits in the cup.

Qi Huan raised his head, confused, “If I didn’t recall wrongly, I ordered milk tea and not fruit tea, right?”

Cheng Chi, who was next to him, paused, “They probably sent the wrong drink.”

Qi Huan stood up and walked away from the table, “I’ll go and ask the staff to change it.”

Cheng Chi stood up, “I’ll accompany you.”

Their roommate instantly raised his brows, “Needing someone to accompany him just to change a milk tea. The straight men these days are even mushier than gay men.”

When Lin Ye heard those words, he smiled but did not say anything.

They had only left for two minutes when there was quite a big uproar in the middle of the canteen. It seemed that quite a big disagreement had broken up between trainees.

They could not see anything from the corner they were sitting in. When they heard the clear sound of something smashing on the ground, they raised their heads. However, they were only in time to see the trainees sitting closer to the center stand up quickly, heading towards the center of the canteen.

Instantly, a voice that was saying horrible things sounded from amongst the crowd of people trying to stop the argument.

Lin Ye and Xia Dongchan looked at each other, having a bad feeling. Their other two roommates seemed to have thought of something and glanced at the two empty seats.

The four of them stood up together. They no longer had smiles on their faces as they quickly walked towards the center of the canteen which was surrounded by many trainees.
