surface roommate
Chapter 53 The Incident
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Zhou Ziheng and Fu Wu were startled and terrified. They looked at each other, and immediately remained motionless, for fear of making any more noise.
Fortunately, there was a curtain installed on Zhou Ziheng's bed, so he couldn't see through it at a glance, otherwise he would be seen hugging each other naked at this time.
Zhou Ziheng lightly lifted the bed curtain and exposed his head. Seeing Zhu Ren walking in with a suitcase, he pretended to be calm and asked, "Zhu Ren, didn't you say you'd be back in the afternoon? Why are you back now?"
Zhu Ren put down the suitcase and didn't find anything unusual for the time being. He smiled and said, "Come back early and pick up Gao Fang in the afternoon. It's already nine o'clock, and you're still sleeping. It's rare."
Zhou Ziheng usually got up at six o'clock, and Zhu Ren was a little surprised to see him sleeping until nine o'clock for the first time, but he quickly packed his luggage on his own without asking any more questions.
Fu Wu who was hiding on the bed didn't dare to vent his anger, his face turned red and turned white, he was so embarrassed that he couldn't contain himself, he only hoped that Zhu Ren would get out quickly so that he could get dressed and get out of bed.
Zhou Ziheng understood what Fu Wu meant, and deliberately dressed loudly so that he could also put on his clothes.
Fortunately, the two of them took off their clothes after going to bed last night. If they went to bed after finishing work a few days ago, not to mention that they had no clothes to wear, just the clothes thrown around would be enough to scare Zhu Ren into calling him father and mother .
After getting dressed, Zhou Ziheng was hesitant to get out of bed, so Zhu Ren asked, "Ziheng, where's Fu Wu?"
"He... went to the library." Zhou Ziheng carefully opened the bed curtain again and climbed down the bed ladder.
"You're sleeping, and he's going to the library. It's rare. It seems to be the other way around." But Zhu Ren soon realized something was wrong. Why was Fu Wu's slippers under Zhou Ziheng's bed?
Zhu Ren glanced around, there were several pairs of shoes that Fu Wu usually wears, so what shoes did he wear when he went out?
I haven't seen you for a summer vacation, and it's normal to buy new shoes.Zhu Ren's thoughts turned around, and he watched Zhou Ziheng put on his slippers and straighten Fu Wu's two slippers, without any intention of putting those two shoes back on the No. 1 bed.
This...is not normal, how can a straight man do this?
A long-standing speculation revived in Zhu Ren's mind.Living in the same dormitory with these two handsome guys, seeing their more and more intimate eyes and their more and more tacit actions, Zhu Ren has never doubted it.
Zhu Ren remembered that once in the morning, he was woken up by peeing and got up to go to the bathroom.Fu Wu and Zhou Ziheng were about to go out when Zhou Ziheng squatted down to tie Fu Wu's shoelaces; after Fu Wu finished applying hand cream, he also applied Zhou Ziheng.He also said at the time: "Tsk tsk, why are you two so tired?"
In addition, many details are very suspicious. Thinking about it now, it all confirms that there is some kind of ulterior secret between these two people.
But Zhou Ziheng and Fu Wu didn't reveal the truth too directly, let alone admit it, so Zhu Ren always thought that he was thinking too much, not to mention that Zhou Ziheng also said that he had a girlfriend.
But seeing Zhou Ziheng treat Fu Wu's slippers like this today, Zhu Ren couldn't help thinking seriously, could it be that these two are really a couple, could it be that Fu Wu is now on Zhou Ziheng's bed?
Just thinking of this scene made him feel extremely sick, and his whole body was covered with goose bumps.
Curiosity drove Zhu Ren to stand up.
Zhou Ziheng asked: "Have you had breakfast? Shall we go to have breakfast together?" Seeing Zhu Ren standing up, he became more vigilant, preventing him from walking to his bed.
"I came here after dinner. Go by yourself." If Zhou Ziheng went out, then Zhu Ren could lift the curtain of the bed without any scruples and have a look, and the truth would soon come to light.
However, Zhou Ziheng didn't intend to get up, and stood in front of the bed, thinking of another way to send Zhu Ren away.
Seeing Zhou Ziheng not moving, Zhu Ren glanced at his bed even more curiously, and asked, "Why don't you go? If you don't go, you won't have anything to eat."
Zhou Ziheng looked as cold as usual, and said, "I'm not hungry now, so I might as well eat at noon." He noticed that Zhu Ren's expression was not right, so he glanced at the bed from time to time, and at Fu Wu's bed sideways.
Zhou Ziheng's mind turned very fast. When he saw Fu Wu's slippers on the ground, he guessed that his stuff was exposed, and immediately sent Fu Wu a message to ask him to mute his phone, just in case.
Sure enough, Zhu Ren took out his mobile phone, opened WeChat, and made a voice call to Fu Wu directly.
Fu Wu, who was hiding on the bed, saw the voice call, his heartbeat accelerated like a roller coaster, and he definitely couldn't answer it.Does it hang up directly, or wait for it to end automatically?
Zhou Ziheng asked Zhu Ren under the bed: "Who are you calling?"
Zhu Ren was suspicious and didn't answer, but glanced at Zhou Ziheng's bed again, thinking that Fu Wu might be hidden in the bed closed by the curtain.
But he didn't dare to lift the bed curtain rashly, Zhou Ziheng was right in front of him, he might have knocked him down before he touched the bed curtain.Zhou Ziheng was tall and powerful, Zhu Ren would definitely not be able to defeat him.
In order not to suffer, but also to understand the truth of the matter, Zhu Ren pretended to sit calmly for four hours.
During this period, he did not go to the bathroom.Because he remembered that once when he went to the bathroom, Zhou Ziheng, who had finished the shower, unexpectedly held the door abnormally to prevent him from coming out.Perhaps, at that time, he was doing ghost things with Fu Wu, and he was afraid of being discovered, so he behaved abnormally.
Thinking about it now, I really have lingering fears. It turned out that there were many times that the tricks of these two people could be smashed.
He didn't even go out to eat lunch, and took out bread from his schoolbag, thinking that after Zhou Ziheng went out, he could open the bed curtain and have a look.Not only that, he kept making voice calls to Fu Wu, and dialed his number directly, but Fu Wu didn't answer any of them.
Zhou Ziheng saw that Zhu Ren was so sloppy, and knew that he was doing it on purpose, so he directly confronted him, and stayed in bed No. 3 without going to the bathroom or eating.
Fu Wu, who was lying on the bed, was very anxious, and sent a message to Zhou Ziheng: "Zhu Ren obviously knows, he did it on purpose!"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Zhou Ziheng replied, "Sooner or later, he will go out. As long as he doesn't grasp the hard evidence, he can't explain anything."
After a while, Zhou Ziheng sent another message: "Actually, I'm not afraid of coming out, no matter what happens, I love you, Wu Zi."
But Fu Wu has not yet had the courage to come out, and when he thinks that his usual good friends will scoff at his sexual orientation, and even the rumors about this matter spread, he feels apprehensive.
It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon that Zhu Ren had to go out to pick up his girlfriend Gao Fang who was returning to school.
As soon as Zhu Ren left, Fu Wu dared to stretch his muscles and finally got out of bed. He let out a long breath and said, "From now on, we'd better be careful."
Just when Zhou Ziheng and Fu Wu escaped, the first thing He Yongbei said when he returned to the dormitory was: "Fu Wu, Ziheng, are you together?"
"Ah?" Fu Wu was watching a movie, and when he heard this sentence, the alarm bells sounded in his heart, and he had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.
"Zhu Ren said that when he comes back, you two will share the same bed."
Although it was true, Zhu Ren didn't see it, how could he talk nonsense!
Zhou Ziheng clenched his fists, Zhu Ren, a bastard, had already spread the matter behind his back.
Seeing both Zhou Ziheng and Fu Wu's confused faces, He Yongbei went on to say: "But it's okay, I'm very tolerant. I won't tell the outside world, and I even told Zhu Ren not to tell the outside world. Actually, I guessed it a long time ago. "
How could Zhu Ren not speak out with such a big mouth?Now that He Yongbei has been told, he will tell his girlfriend Gao Fang, and it will spread throughout the academy.
Sure enough, Fu Wu and Zhou Ziheng received many messages from their classmates throughout the afternoon.
"Are you really really with Zhou Ziheng?"
"Sure enough, I guessed right, a handsome guy deserves a handsome guy."
"Damn! Two men, are you disgusting?"
"No wonder you don't agree to how I chase you. I don't like girls."
There is also a message from senior Xiao Jiusi: "Didn't you say you are straight? Why are you with Zhou Ziheng again?"
Facing the messy messages flying all over the sky, Zhou Ziheng turned a blind eye and didn't reply to any of them.But Fu Wu couldn't care less, he read every message, and his emotions broke down, with tears in his eyes: "Why is Zhu Ren like this? Damn it! Even if he guessed it, he has no right to mess around. pass!"
Zhou Ziheng hugged him and remained silent for a long time before saying, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I am here."
Seeing this, He Yongbei guessed a lot, and comforted him beside him: "Zhu Ren is also true, how can you tell others about this? Fu Wu, Ziheng, don't worry, at least I won't Any ideas."
He Yongbei voluntarily quit the dormitory to let Zhou Ziheng and Fu Wu calm down.He called Zhu Ren and angrily reprimanded Zhu Ren for being immoral. Instead of repenting, Zhu Ren gloated and said, "I've already decided to transfer the dormitory, so I don't want to live with two perverts. What if?" God, climb into my bed, how disgusting!"
"You don't even look at your virtues, just like you, you deserve it! You think too badly of Fu Wu and Zhou Ziheng! The heart of a villain!" He Yongbei hung up the phone angrily, wanting to be like Zhu Ren. It's a shame to live with the scum.
When Zhu Ren proudly told Gao Fang about this, he thought Gao Fang would eat melons with him and scolded Zhou Ziheng and Fu Wu, but Gao Fang reprimanded him angrily.
"This is Fu Wu and Zhou Ziheng's own business. Why do you tell others? Do you know how much this will affect them? Why are you so bad?"
Zhu Ren didn't understand why Gao Fang was angry, and said, "You are my girlfriend, why did you speak for those two people? Could it be that you still like Zhou Ziheng?"
Last year, when school just started, Gao Fang really liked Zhou Ziheng, and even wrote a love letter for Fu Wu to bring to Zhou Ziheng.Zhou Ziheng threw that love letter into the trash can, and Zhu Ren picked it up later.Zhu Ren has always been brooding about this matter.
"I like your size! If I liked Zhou Ziheng, I wouldn't be with you!" Gao Fang felt extremely angry. Not only did her boyfriend have no sense of morality and shame, but he also didn't believe her feelings.
"Even if it's not Fu Wu and Zhou Ziheng, it's any other couple, regardless of whether they are a man, a woman, or a man and a woman, they all have the right to pursue love. But this world is not so tolerant, and men and women suffer from many prejudices. , so they dare not walk under the sun, they are not like us who can be easy and generous. Zhu Ren, you are Fu Wu and Zhou Ziheng's roommates in vain, you hurt your roommates like this, you really let me down Disappointed! Do you know that this matter has been spread by you to many people, and several friends sent me messages about it! You are really too bad!"
"Where am I... am I broken?" Zhu Ren didn't understand, and he was also a little angry when he hit him head-on, "Don't you think they are disgusting?"
"I think you are disgusting. I thought you were a responsible man before, but now it seems that you are an empty-headed bastard! We can't think together, Zhu Ren, I am really angry now. If you are narrow-minded The prejudice is so deep, I really can't continue to be with you. This is a matter of character!"
The two had a big fight and were about to fall apart.Zhu Ren couldn't bear it, how could his girlfriend, whom he had finally chased after, break his relationship because of this trivial matter.He reined in the precipice and took the initiative to admit his mistake.
Gao Fang asked him to apologize to Fu Wu and Zhou Ziheng, and to say that he was spreading rumors in the circle of friends, and he was not allowed to say another word, so as not to make Zhou Ziheng and Fu Wu unable to stay.You know, if this matter gets to the ears of the academy leaders, it may affect the future of the two of them. This kind of immoral thing can't be done!
Fortunately, there was a curtain installed on Zhou Ziheng's bed, so he couldn't see through it at a glance, otherwise he would be seen hugging each other naked at this time.
Zhou Ziheng lightly lifted the bed curtain and exposed his head. Seeing Zhu Ren walking in with a suitcase, he pretended to be calm and asked, "Zhu Ren, didn't you say you'd be back in the afternoon? Why are you back now?"
