A Lover’s Rendezvous (3)

He quickly took a breath of the fresh air outside the window and forced out a smile. “Aha? It appears your top student world is very wonderful.”

Qin Yuan softly laughed.

Without looking at Ruan Qingmu, he rested his arms on the window frame as if he was talking to himself. “I never brought anyone here. You’re the first.”

There also wouldn’t be anyone else in the future.

Ruan Qingmu stood side by side with him by the window. Amidst the endless quietness, he suddenly extended his arm and jumped forward with all his might.

Qin Yuan, by his side, was startled by his sudden movement and subconsciously embraced him.

Ruan Qingmu stretched out his hand and stiffly gripped a branch outside the window, slowly turning back and looking at his waist.

“???”

He just casually wanted to pluck a leaf to defuse the awkwardness and silence. What was going on?

“What… what are you doing?”

“What are you doing?”

The two people asked nearly at the same time. Qin Yuan’s complexion was a little white while Ruan Qingmu’s was a little red.

After a long time, Ruan Qingmu finally gave a hard tug and plucked several acacia leaves from the swaying branch outside the window, squinting his eyes. “Did you think I wanted to jump?”

Qin Yuan didn’t say anything, but he didn’t release his arms.

He had seen the other person’s waist many times while living in the same dorm with Ruan Qingmu.

***

When Ruan Qingmu finished showering and climbed into bed wearing a small tank top, a small part of his waist was always easily seen. When he restlessly looked at books or played with his phone while rolling around the bed, his top would easily be crumpled, revealing a part of his waist.

It was slender but not the extremely delicate type. When it was exposed, the dazzling white skin would make people flustered.

But he had never wondered about how it would feel like to touch it.

… It turned out to be like this, ah.

The teenager’s waistline had a beautiful curve that could be enclosed easily in his arms. You couldn’t touch the skin through the school uniform, but you could clearly feel the strong, lean, powerful lines.

And that faint thumping heartbeat nearby.

Ruan Qingmu tilted his jade-like face. The clear light of the cold moonlight reflected off his features.

He moved slightly as if trying to break free from this strange embrace, but Qin Yuan did not let go. His broad palm tightened gently instead, clasping his waist a little tighter.

He also pressed a little closer.

Ruan Qingmu’s back was pressed against the window. The cool night breeze gently brushed the branches of the acacia tree outside the window and swept over the faces of the two teenagers by the window, blowing back their black hair.

The moonlight was shaped like a hook as ruthless and loving as it had been in the previous life. The wind that greeted them was also as entangling and silent as in the previous life.

Ruan Qingmu’s peach blossom eyes unblinkingly met Qin Yuan’s.

This man’s eyes in front of him were exactly the same as they had been on a certain night in his previous life.

But, it was springtime at that time.

The peach blossoms were in full bloom. There was wine under the trees and there was the moon and starlight in the sky.

At that time, he had just received a letter of war from Qin Yuan and not only was he unconcerned, but he was also full of the war spirit.

He told his attendants to set up a small table under the tree, bought the peach blossom wine from the Qing Yun House and the delicate cakes from the Tong Qing House, and pressed the war letter on top with a wine jug, waiting there for the world-famous shaoxia to come for a walk in the moonlight.

Fortunately, the shaoxia knew to be cultured a little and didn’t immediately turn the table and start a fight when he arrived. Instead, he sat down calmly, drank three cups of wine with him, and repeatedly asked him if he had any excuses.

Pah! Who would want to explain to this sort of dignified, righteous man who exuded an air of pedantry?!

Just hit if you want to and fight if you want to. He, Ruan Qingmu, had lived for ten more years. All the things he did and said had been changed beyond recognition by people. If he appealed and explained to everyone, wouldn’t he be tired to death?

Besides, would anyone believe him if he explained?

Those people looked dignified outside but killed and looted people on the back, itching to throw all the blame on someone from the demonic sect. Nobody would genuinely care what he said and would be unwilling to re-examine his answer.

Of course, this silent and noble Qin shaoxia had the patience to listen to his explanations.

But he just didn’t want to.

He was arrogant then and forced to use violence not only once but twice. He only felt in his heart that nobody in this world deserved to make him humble and make him explain himself.

He still remembered that he kicked over the table and told this Qin shaoxia to take out his sword after downing three cups of excellent wine.

Back then, this man looked at him for a moment with sharp and bright eyes as they were now. As if he wanted to burn him with his gaze.

Ruan Qingmu suddenly felt that something was different.

The present Qin Yuan’s eyes were still as bright as before as if flames were dancing inside. But instead of wariness and fervor, it was dark as if it was buried deep inside a cold pool.

Ruan Qingmu’s breathing became a little rough. Being so close and stared at by such familiar and unfamiliar eyes, he felt a little panicked and inexplicably unwilling.

This ‘Three Good Student’ clearly didn’t say anything and didn’t move one step further, but why did it seem his aura was weaker than in his previous life?!

He was about to say something to increase his loftiness a little when Qin Yuan suddenly spoke. “I didn’t see your message.” He softly said, “I also never wanted to have a cold war with you.”
