Saying that, Xia Yu took another step in, looked around and said, "Why is it so dark in your room? You were sleeping just now?"

Zhou Ding's thinking was short-circuited for a moment, and he looked at Xia Yu in a daze: "Why are you here?"

Xia Yu replied: "I'm here to sketch. Can we go in and talk?"

Zhou Ding turned sideways subconsciously, letting Xia Yu in.

The moment he finished this action, he felt annoyed, but at this time Xia Yu had already walked into the room, so he had no choice but to turn on the light in the room.

Once the light is on, everything in the room is invisible.

Xia Yu glanced at the messy quilt on the bed, then glanced over the drawn curtains, and landed on the open booklet beside the bed, on which the words "TV Guide" were clearly visible.

TV guide...

Xia Yu frowned indistinctly.

"Cough." Seeing this, Zhou Ding let out a low cough, walked up to Xia Yu, and blocked his sight with his tall figure, "How do you know I'm here?"

Xia Yu withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhou Ding with a natural expression: "Wu Le told me about your team building before, and he even invited me, but I don't know your basketball club very well, so I didn't respond. I came here because my friend chose this place, I didn't expect such a coincidence, I happened to be staying in the same hotel as you."

"Is that so?"

Xia Yu nodded.

Zhou Ding couldn't help sighing in his heart, how could he and Xia Yu run into each other everywhere?

He was helpless in his heart, but he didn't show the slightest bit on his face, and asked again: "Do you have anything to do with me?"

Xia Yu picked up the bath towel and bathrobe in her hand and showed it to Zhou Ding: "I want to borrow your bathroom."

Zhou Ding frowned slightly: "Bathroom? Don't you have one in your room?"

Xia Yu said: "There are girls in my room, so it's not convenient to take a shower."

"girl?"

Xia Yu nodded lightly: "It was my friend's girlfriend who came to play with him. I didn't want to be a light bulb there, but I wanted to take a bath, so I asked Sheng Wule. I originally wanted to go to his place, but he said He was not at the hotel for the barbecue by the lake, so I had no choice but to come and find you."

After a pause, his tone became hesitant, "Did I come at the wrong time? Did I bother you?"

It was indeed not the time to come, and it did bother him.

But seeing those black and clear eyes, Zhou Ding couldn't say anything, he could only shake his head and said: "It's okay, it doesn't matter, you can go wash it."

Xia Yu said gratefully, "Thank you."

"No need." After saying that, Zhou Ding sat down beside the bed and watched Xia Yu enter the bathroom.

As soon as the bathroom door was closed, he fell backwards.

Zhou Ding was lying on his back on the bed, feeling that his mind was in a mess. If Xia Yu was a girl, it would be fine, and he would just pursue it. However, Xia Yu was a boy, which made him very depressed. What is the matter with him being so destined to be with a boy? ?

He is not gay.

Thinking of this sentence, Zhou Ding suddenly felt confused for a moment.

He rolled over and sat up, his eyes fixed on the closed bathroom door.

As soon as Xia Yu opened the door after washing, she met Zhou Ding's thoughtful eyes.

The step outside stopped, Xia Yu asked: "Have you been waiting for me to finish washing?"

Zhou Ding looked away: "No, I just happened to be thinking about something."

Xia Yu walked out, wiped her hair with a towel, and asked casually, "What are you thinking?"

Zhou Ding wanted to cover it up: "It's nothing."

Xia Yu didn't ask any more questions. He walked to the sofa and sat down. He stretched out his hand to pick up the hotel brochure Zhou Ding had spread beside the bed, and after flipping through two pages, he asked, "Were you watching TV just now?"

"Ah."

Xia Yu lowered his head. After taking a shower, his skin exposed outside the bathrobe was lightly pink, his hair became blacker and shinier after being wet, his lips were much redder than usual, and his fingers on the brochure were even more so. Thin and straight, it looks warm and white, like a work of art carved out of suet white jade.

His every move is loose and casual, not like a guest who came to borrow the bathroom, but like the owner of the room.

"Don't you want to continue watching?" Xia Yu asked again.

Zhou Ding said: "I won't watch it, it's nothing to watch." Anyway, he wouldn't turn on the TV.

"I kind of want to watch the BBC, can I watch it here for a while?" Xia Yu raised her head, her eyes were as clear as water.

Zhou Ding: "..." He regretted that he was so busy thinking about things just now that he didn't cut off the TV station first.

He also didn't know if this paid channel would continue to play after it was turned off and then turned on again, but to be on the safe side, it's better not to turn it on.

After thinking about it, Zhou Ding changed the subject and said, "Do you have anything else to do?"

This is an order to evict guests, Xia Yu heard it.

Staring at Zhou Ding with dark eyes, he nodded solemnly: "Yes."

Zhou Ding was silent and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I've always wanted to ask you, are you gay?" When Xia Yu asked this question, she rested her chin on one hand, and her eyes fell directly on Zhou Ding's face, not letting go of the slightest change in the other's expression.

Zhou Ding was shocked when he heard the words. His eyes widened and his pupils trembled slightly. After a while, he looked at Xia Yu and said, "Why did you think of asking me this?"

Xia Yu tilted her head and looked at him: "Did I guess right?"

Zhou Ding laughed angrily: "Why did you guess right? I didn't say anything, did I?"

Xia Yu said seriously: "You are hesitating."

Zhou Ding was speechless for a moment, and after a while he paused and said: "I'm not gay."

After speaking, he stood up and said in a cold tone, "If you have nothing else to do, you can go back. I'm a little tired today and I want to go to bed early."

Xia Yu sat without moving, he looked up at Zhou Ding: "There is one more thing."

Zhou Ding: "..." He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the depression in his heart.

"Say." The word seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth.

Xia Yu's voice was clear: "I want to make an appointment with you."

Zhou Ding was stunned: "...what did you say?"

"I said, I want to make an appointment with you."

After a pause, Xia Yu seriously explained to Zhou Ding, "The kind of appointment to go to bed."

As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell silent.

The air fell into silence, and Zhou Ding felt full of suffocation.

He looked at Xia Yu in disbelief: "Do you know what you're talking about?!"

Xia Yun hummed: "I know, I'm sober, do you need me to say it again?"

"...No need." Zhou Ding put his hands on his hips, he looked at Xia Yu, and a huge sense of absurdity filled his body and mind.

Xia Yu asked again: "You don't believe me?"

Zhou Ding frowned: "Don't you think this is very... this is very..." He was at a loss for words for a while, and didn't know how to describe this feeling.

"I've been paying attention to you for a long time." Xia Yu interrupted suddenly.

He ignored Zhou Ding's reaction, and continued on his own, "In my eyes, your body is more perfect than the Poseidon you saw at my place that day. I like it very much. Besides, you are really not Are you gay? I think you are, so I will approach you and talk to you."

Zhou Ding frowned and asked, "Why do you think I'm gay?"

He felt that he should be angry now and refute firmly, but Xia Yu's words just hit the question that had been circling in his mind for several days, making him want to find out involuntarily.

"The way you look at me is different from the way you look at other people."

Xia Yu also stood up, and he raised his head slightly, his eyes met Zhou Ding's, "It's with desire, I can feel it."

As if struck by a lightning bolt, this time Zhou Ding didn't show a shocked expression or rush to refute, he just froze on the spot and made no sound.

After a while, he rolled his Adam's apple, and said in a difficult voice: "It's because you are so beautiful, I regard you as..."

"Girl?" Before Zhou Ding could finish speaking, Xia Yu took up the conversation.

After speaking, he took a big step forward and almost stuck to Zhou Ding.Then he raised his head, pointed the tip of his nose to Zhou Ding's chin, and sprayed his warm breath on his Adam's apple.

He stared closely at Zhou Ding's eyes: "Look carefully again, do you really regard me as a girl?"

Zhou Ding looked at the pretty face that was close at hand, and quietly gave up his breath.

He swallowed dryly, and wanted to retreat, but Xia Yu grabbed the hem of his shirt.

Yes, this face in front of me is beautiful, very beautiful.

Not only the hands that I noticed before, but Xia Yu's delicate hair to toes are like works of art. At first glance, it makes people think that he must have grown up pampered by a rich family.

Words such as beautiful, delicate, androgynous, etc. can be placed on him, but it will not make people mistake him for a girl.

Not at all.

Even if he told himself over and over in his heart these days that it was because Xia Yu looked like a girl and he was as beautiful as a girl, so he confused his cognition and made him subconsciously regard him as a girl, he still had to Admit it.

——Xia Yu is a boy, a boy who can be seen at a glance.

He didn't make a mistake at the beginning, and naturally he won't make a mistake afterwards.

So, he was the one who forced Xia Yu to rely on the word "girl".

It was he who forcibly pushed Xia Yu in the direction of "girls" in order to make excuses for his recent misbehavior.

It is he who is avoiding the problem.

It was he who was deceiving himself.

Looking at Zhou Ding's expression, Xia Yu knew what he was thinking.

Instead of holding on to the previous question, he asked Zhou Ding: "Are you a conservative person?"

"Why do you ask this? Of course not!" Zhou Ding said without thinking.

Conservative has become a derogatory term these days, especially among college students who have not yet experienced social beatings and feel that they are the most advanced and fashionable in thinking. Conservative is a word that makes people frown.

It seems that admitting that I am conservative is admitting that I am old-fashioned, pedantic, and inflexible in disguise.

Of course Zhou Ding didn't think he was conservative.

"Then..." Xia Yu stood on tiptoe, so that her eyes were facing Zhou Ding's eyes, and her mouth was facing each other's. The distance between them was so small that they could clearly feel each other's breathing and body temperature.

After staring at Zhou Ding for a while, Xia Yu lowered his voice, and his tone was a bit more bewitching——

"Would you like to make an appointment with me?"

"Don't you want to know if you are gay?"

"I don't want to know if you have any desire for me?"

"Don't want to know... what kind of happiness is brought by desire?"

After Xia Yu left, Zhou Ding sat cross-legged on the bed alone.

He looked at the TV blankly.

At this time, the plot on the TV had reached its climax, bold and explicit images filled the screen, the expressions of the male and female protagonists seemed pained but not painful, ecstasy but not ecstasy, and the voices they made were provocative and ambiguous.

But Zhou Ding didn't change his expression.

He didn't feel excited, let alone excited. He propped his chin with one hand, and the two figures that kept shaking on the TV gradually blurred in his eyes, and their voices gradually weakened.

After concentrating again, he found that the two faces on the TV were him and Xia Yu.

Zhou Ding was startled, and hurriedly looked away.

He simply turned off the TV and lay down on the bed with large characters.

——"Would you like to make an appointment with me?"

——"Don't you want to know... what kind of happiness is brought by desire?"

Zhou Ding clenched his hands, and after a long time of being motionless, he suddenly pulled up a corner of the quilt to cover his whole body.

He curled up under the quilt, his eyes were all pitch black.

The small and closed space was quiet and silent. With his eyes open, he could clearly hear his own heartbeat.

Plop plop puff...

So fast.
