Their friendship was already showing signs of strain, and he didnât want any physical contact with Wen Yang!
âStop arguing, hurry up.â
âI can walk myself.â
Ning Chu opened the door and looked at the drizzling rain outside, âIs there only one umbrella?â
âYeah, I couldnât find the others. If I carry you, you can hold the umbrella for both of us.â
âThen you can get wet. Iâm the one whoâs sick.â
He shook his head again, his body leaning to one side but catching himself on the wall.
The discomfort from the fever was getting worse.
Wen Yang frowned, noticing Ning Chuâs discomfort, and threatened, âCome here, or Iâll carry you princess-style.â
âYou donât want to be carried like a princess by another man at school, do you? What if our classmates see us?â
Ning Chu: ââ¦â¦â
Ning Chu was speechless.
Last time he had a heat stroke, this guy had carried him princess-style without a second thought, and this time, it seemed Wen Yang would do the same.
With no other choice, he moved closer, wrapped his arms around Wen Yangâs neck, and hesitantly leaned his body against Wen Yangâs back.
The hot, soft body pressed gently against his back, and Wen Yangâs breath hitched for half a second.
It felt just like a girlâs body, right?
Carefully, he supported Ning Chuâs legs and stood up easily.
His whole body is soft and light, with a refreshing girlish fragrance, especially the two soft lumps on his back which are impossible to ignore.
Normally they werenât noticeable, but now they were very distinct.
This is definitely not a pectoral muscle. How can pectoral muscles be so soft?
Could Ning Chu really be a girl?
Ning Chuâs hot breath fell on his neck, turning it a shade of red.@@novelbin@@
Gradually, Wen Yangâs face also flushed with embarrassment.
Afraid of being recognized, Ning Chu buried his head in Wen Yangâs neck, keeping his head down.
It wasnât the first time heâd been carried, but this time felt especially humiliating.
His ears turned bright red, unsure if it was from the fever.
Luckily, it was break time, so the dorm building was mostly empty.
They didnât encounter any classmates until they left the building.
âHold the umbrella properly.â
âYeah, take it slowâ¦â
âDonât worry.â
Ning Chu opened the umbrella, holding it with one hand. Wen Yang walked steadily, trying not to jostle him too much.
The rain brought a rare coolness to the summer.
Realizing they probably wouldnât run into any classmates, Ning Chu lifted his head, resting his chin on Wen Yangâs shoulder, looking at the light rain outside the umbrella, at the rain-covered world.
Wen Yangâs presence made him feel safe, causing him to take a deep breath unconsciously.
It seemed like his fevered body felt a bit better.
But he quickly realized his mistake, pursing his lips and reminding himself that Wen Yang was his main target of caution, not someone to feel warmth and safety around.
That would make him more vulnerable!
Thatâs a close call; he almost got lost in the protagonistâs tenderness!
âYou havenât had breakfast or lunch yet, right? After the infirmary, letâs eat at the cafeteria together?â
âOkay.â
