Chapter 20: The Cannon Fodder Roommate of the Unlimited Flow Male Lead (Part 20-2)
For the student council dinner, a large KTV room was booked. The venue was spacious, and there was plenty of alcohol.
Some people had arrived early and were sitting in their seats, fiddling with their phones, absent-minded.
The person next to them came over and asked, “Brother Xin, don’t you usually not participate in this kind of thing? Why are you here so early today?”
The boy with pink hair let out a light “tsk” and said nonchalantly, “Isn’t everyone here yet?”
“…” The boy he was talking to had a puzzled expression and scratched his head. “This… it’s not time yet, is it?”
Xia Xin said with a blank expression, “Oh.”
It wasn’t time for the appointment yet, and not everyone was there, but people were arriving one after another in the private room.
The music was hoarse and lyrical, and the lights were dim and ambiguous.
Two boys with their arms around each other’s shoulders came in, laughing and pushing the door open. “Did you see?”
“See what?”
“Yu Lin, like a simp. Su Huai hadn’t even said anything, and he was already eagerly replying in the group chat.”
“…” His companion raised his eyebrows. “The business school beauty, tsk, you don’t know, do you—”
As the two of them were talking, before they could finish, a glass cup was thrown at them, hit the wall, and then splashed all over their faces.
“Fuck!” One of them touched his face and found a handful of blood, his eyes red. “Which idiot, fuck you, a sneak attack?”
A slow voice came from the sofa, unhurried, both cheap and infuriating. “Of course… it’s your dad?”
Xia Xin held his phone and glanced over lazily, his gaze sweeping over the broken glass on the two of them.
Then, for some reason, he thought of the leaf that had flown over from more than forty meters away.
He had been crawling in the dirt, and the residual warmth of the leaf had brushed past his cheek, followed by the tragic scream of the monster… he couldn’t describe the shock of that moment.
His head was dizzy.
Could… it be him? For more than twenty years, Xia Xin had always judged people by his feelings. He had never had such a similar feeling from two people.
Could… it be him? Little Young Master Xia’s palms were sweating, and his eyes were fixed on the KTV entrance.
Seeing him so arrogant, one of them rushed up to hit him, but the other suddenly tugged at his sleeve. “Forget it.”
He said in a low voice, “Don’t mess with this guy. He’s a mad dog.”
“…”
The troublemakers ran away on their own, and Xia Xin’s anger had nowhere to be vented.
Could… it be him?
He was absent-minded.

Yu Lin didn’t know that someone was waiting for him. He and Su Huai had just gotten out of the car and were about to walk to the KTV when they passed by a commercial street and heard two chirping voices from the side.
“Sis.” A boy in a middle school uniform, very tall, was holding an ice cream and looking with confusion at a girl who was playing a game machine with a bang. “What’s wrong with you?”
The girl looked small and delicate, with a baby face, and was carrying a gun, her movements wild.
She frowned, fired a few shots with a bang, let out a breath, and gritted her teeth. “I… didn’t I just praise him for being really hot when I sent a private message to Lin Lin?”
“He blocked me!” The girl couldn’t believe it. “He blocked me. I can’t send messages anymore. I don’t believe it. It must be that dog 01!”
The boy: “…”
The boy handed her the ice cream. “Have a bite. Why don’t I… send it to Brother Lin Lin in the future?”
“…” Yu Lin turned to glance at his boyfriend.
His boyfriend’s expression was unchanged. He reached out and hooked his little finger, and denied it calmly, “No.”
He had just set up a keyword block to prevent some people from hitting on his wife.
“…”
When they entered the KTV, the atmosphere in the private room was a little strange, but overall it was harmonious and happy.
Yu Lin and Su Huai went in and found an empty seat.
The atmosphere in the private room was very high. Some people were singing, some were dancing wildly, and some were playing cards in a corner.
The people from the student council didn’t necessarily know each other, but most of them were familiar with each other by sight, and many people had seen the posts about the business school beauty and the computer science department bigshot.
Perhaps because they knew that Su Huai really dared to fight, not many people made a fuss, and most of the topics were very normal.
Someone handed Yu Lin a drink. Yu Lin took it, and then Su Huai calmly replaced it with a non-alcoholic one.
It was a very ordinary party. A group of people were talking and laughing. Apart from a boy who was sizing him up from time to time, Yu Lin didn’t feel that anything was wrong.
Until halfway through, most people had had a drink, and the room was filled with the smell of alcohol, making one drowsy.
The pink-haired boy took a glass of alcohol, suddenly came over, and asked, “You… have I seen you somewhere before?”
“…” The private room was silent for a second, and then a series of screams broke out.
“Bro, you’re brave! This is fucking, openly trying to steal someone’s girl—”
“Damn, you’re awesome!”
“His boyfriend is sitting right there. He’s going to get beaten up…”
The boy’s features were delicate, his expression hesitant, and his cheeks were flushed from the alcohol.
He held the drink and looked over. Yu Lin saw something familiar in his eyes.
He shook his head gently. “Sorry, I don’t remember.”
The boy was a little disappointed. He didn’t move, but he was also unwilling to leave.
He said in a small voice, “Then what about being friends?”
His waist was suddenly tightened. Yu Lin said softly, “Sorry.”
Li Yang held a glass of alcohol and came over, swaying. His tall and thin body was stretched very long.
He shook his head and patted the boy’s shoulder earnestly. “What are you thinking? Lin Lin only likes Su Huai.”
He sighed. “At that time, this kid Su Huai rejected him, saying he was straight. But our Lin Lin liked him, and later, I don’t know how hard he had to work to win him over.”
His tone was sorrowful, and the others had surprised looks on their faces, and all turned to look at the other person in the private room.
The man sat in the dim and ambiguous light, his eyes dark, staring at the quiet young man by his side.
His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly as he said bluntly, “…Young and reckless, I didn’t know any better.”
After a pause, he added, “He didn’t have to chase. He didn’t need to.”
The others burst out laughing.
In the end, Yu Lin still had a little to drink, a fruit wine mixed in his drink, sweet and sour, which he hadn’t noticed.
Before long, he was dazed, his cheeks burning. The last part of the way, he was carried back by his boyfriend.
It was very late, and a rare breeze blew in the summer night. The summer wind was slightly cool, reflecting the stars in the sky.
One by one, the bright stars bloomed in the sky, a beautiful sight.
Yu Lin’s cheeks were flushed. His arm was resting on the single-sided glass window of the bedroom, and he was staring at the night view outside.
Su Huai held him, lowered his head and kissed him, grinding his tongue until it was sore and itchy, and soon numb. His eyes were red, and his head was dizzy.
He rested his hand on the glass window, breathing lightly. In a daze, the soft wool carpet on the floor became a little hard, and it pricked his ankle.
Yu Lin leaned weakly against the glass, extreme heat and extreme cold, his eyes slightly dazed.
His knee was lifted, and his mind was blank. He looked up lightly, his hand resting on Su Huai’s arm, his eyelids drooping slightly, thinking that it would be comfortable as usual.
In the sky, there was only the cool night and the twinkling stars. The lights outside the window flickered, a brilliant night view.
Yu Lin leaned against the glass, suddenly looked up, let out a light gasp, and looked at Su Huai in a daze, a little dizzy, and unfamiliar with the strange feeling at this moment.
By his ear was the faint, ambiguous sound of water, like comfort, and also like discomfort, very hot, and also very cool.
Yu Lin’s eyelids were red, and he was picked up and lay on Su Huai’s shoulder. The temperature on his body was damp and scorching hot.
Yu Lin had his head down, his hair messy. He was sensitively aware of the difference this time, and panted lightly. He suddenly reached out and pressed Su Huai’s arm.
All movements stopped in an instant, and the bedroom was silent.
Soon, Su Huai held him, gently wrapped his arm around his waist, and turned his head to kiss his eyelids. “Don’t be afraid. We won’t do it.”
Yu Lin sat up, his gaze dazed, his cheeks flushed. He raised his eyelashes, shook his head gently, and his arm lifted weakly, hanging around Su Huai’s neck.
He said softly, “I want to do it like this.”
His eyes looked over, their color very light, both obedient and soft, shy and open.
Su Huai held him, panted lightly, and the black hair on his forehead was damp and messy. He reached out, his knuckles distinct, and held Yu Lin’s head.
He turned his head, bit his lips lightly, and said, “Okay.”
“…”
Yu Lin felt that he was on a small boat, aimlessly.
The small boat was sailing in the night. The night was deep. He was on the small boat, moving around aimlessly with the waves. He looked up at Su Huai and bit his wrist lightly.
His breathing was ragged, with a slight nasal tone. He looked up lightly and kissed his boyfriend, his eyes a very light color, wet and dazed.
The person holding him did not separate from him, but held him even deeper, his voice very hoarse. He leaned down and kept kissing his lips, coaxing him over and over again, “Who did you just say… you like the most?”
Yu Lin’s eyelids were wet and red, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he said unconsciously, “I like… you the most.”
