Chapter 453: Saving the Jealous School Prince 08
The air in the stairwell fell into a state of stagnation at that moment, and Xiang Chen, Zhou Minghao and Yu Zhongyi did not speak again.
After a long while, Xiang Chen supported himself and climbed up from the ground unsteadily.
Zhou Minghao was about to reach out to help, but was brushed away by Xiang Chen.
"I can walk by myself." After saying that, Xiang Chen climbed up the handrail of the stairs and slowly moved upstairs by himself.
Zhou Minghao and Yu Zhongyi looked at each other, said nothing, and followed obediently.
After returning to the dormitory, Xiang Chen didn't seem to have any intention of going to bed, so he just sat downstairs.
Zhou Minghao and Yu Zhongyi didn't know what Xiang Chen's current condition was. They didn't dare to ask, for fear that Xiang Chen would get drunk and start scolding them. So the two of them went to bed quietly.
After Zhou Minghao and Yu Zhongyi went to bed, the dormitory returned to silence.
Xiang Chen just sat quietly under the bed for several hours.
It was not until the sky was getting light and Ling Yi came back that Xiang Chen finally spoke again.
But... the hidden tension in these words made Zhou Minghao and Yu Zhongyi, who were awakened by the sound in bed, dare not even breathe.
Just as the two of them were listening to the noise below, they heard Ling Yi laugh very softly.
"Yeah, I was with her last night."
Xiang Chen, who had been sitting quietly for most of the night, heard Ling Yi admit this so frankly. His face darkened and a storm gradually brewed in his eyes.
Xiang Chen stood up, slammed the desk in front of him, and said angrily: "You knew that I asked the dormitory to go out for drinks yesterday because that woman gave me the cold shoulder, and you still stayed with her that night. Are you crazy?"
Ling Yi did not refute Xiang Chen's blunt questioning on the spot.
He walked up to Xiang Chen with a smile. He was half a head taller than Xiang Chen, so he looked down at Xiang Chen in the darkness.
As it happened, it was six o'clock at this time, the power supply to the dormitory was restored, and the lights in the dormitory suddenly lit up.
Zhou Minghao and Yu Zhongyi, who were lying on the bed, hid behind their respective bed curtains, and finally saw the tense atmosphere between Xiang Chen and Ling Yi under the bed.
Just when they thought the two people under the bed were about to fight, they saw Ling Yi patting Xiang Chen's shoulder affectionately, "Brother, what are you misunderstanding? I took Wen Yang to the hospital last night, all for you."
Xiang Chen shrugged and shook off Ling Yi's hand on his shoulder.
He said coldly: "For me? Are you kidding?"
Ling Yi didn't care about Xiang Chen's attitude at all. He still smiled and spoke in his usual gentle and kind tone, "Of course it's for you. I was with Wen Yang last night because she had a fever and fainted. Her roommates couldn't move her, so she asked us for help. I was afraid that if I didn't help, she and her roommates would blame you. With this in mind, I helped send her to the hospital."
After listening to Ling Yi's explanation, Xiang Chen's cold expression finally warmed up a little.
His tone also softened a lot. Somehow, he subconsciously asked Ling Yi: "Is her fever serious?"
But after asking the question, he felt that asking this question seemed a bit like he was concerned about Wen Yang, which was a bit embarrassing.
After all, at the dinner party in the dormitory yesterday, he casually complained that Wen Yang, a good girl who didn't know how to dress up and only knew how to study, was not interesting at all and it was impossible for anyone to like her. She even dared to say that she wanted to break up with him. What a stupid woman.
But in fact, he still felt a little uncomfortable inexplicably in his heart.
So after Wen Yang left yesterday, Xiang Chen canceled Qin Yi's invitation to have dinner together in the evening, gave Qin Yi some money for a meal and asked Qin Yi to go back and eat by himself, then he went straight back to the dormitory and called the people in the dormitory to go out for a drink together.
During the past two years in college, he had already taken Wen Yang's kindness to him for granted.
Wen Yang always cared about him silently. Sometimes he would bring him breakfast in the morning, remind him to put on more clothes when it was cold, and when he won prize money in school competitions, he would happily invite him to dinner as soon as possible to share the joy.
At first, because he was moved, he thought it would be nice to make his relationship with Wen Yang public and become a real couple.
But as time went on, that gratitude was gradually replaced by numbness, especially when he saw Wen Yang with no makeup on, he began to feel that all this was what Wen Yang should do, that she did it voluntarily, and that he had never asked her to do it.
A handsome guy like him with a good family background and good looks should be worthy of a more beautiful girl.
So he felt at ease and treated himself as a single man, enjoying the kindness of the girls around him.
Only when he has too many chores to deal with will he remember to contact Wen Yang and throw all the chores to Wen Yang, asking Wen Yang to help him deal with them.
Thinking of this, Xiang Chen sneered softly.
He was actually worried that Ling Yi would like a woman he didn't even like. He must have been so drunk that his mind was not clear.
Although he didn't know the specific situation of Ling Yi's family, judging from Ling Yi's daily dress, conversation, and the things he ate and used, Ling Yi's conditions were even far better than his family's.
Moreover, Ling Yi was voted as the school's most handsome boy. With his superior appearance, there is no shortage of beautiful girls who like him.
Normally, when they go out to eat together, Ling Yi will be chased by many beautiful girls asking for their contact information, but Ling Yi refuses them all and seems to have no interest in those girls at all.
How could such a person be interested in a rustic girl like Wen Yang?
Xiang Chen attributed all his previous random thoughts to the fact that he drank too much last night and his mind was not clear. After looking at the time on the lock screen of his mobile phone on the table, he turned around and put one foot on the ladder to get to the bed.
Then he casually explained, "Don't misunderstand what I said just now. I have no interest in that kind of woman. I just thought that the tool I used to use was sick, so I asked casually. It would be best if she is okay. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that she will cling to me..."
After saying that, Xiang Chen kicked onto the bed.
"I'll lie down for two hours. Call me when you have class." After saying that, he covered himself with the quilt and fell asleep.
However, Ling Yi, who was standing under the bed, had a gloomy expression and a flash of coldness in his eyes.
"Ling Yi, do you want to take a break?"
Zhou Minghao on the side asked cautiously, and Ling Yi's expression quickly returned to its previous kindness.
He raised his head and replied to Zhou Minghao on the bed: "I'm not going to sleep anymore. It's already this late. I'll wash up and go out for breakfast later."
"Oh oh..." Zhou Minghao responded hesitantly twice, then shrank back into the bed curtain embarrassedly, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
It seems that Ling Yi didn't care about them informing Xiang Chen.
He almost misunderstood Ling Yi. Seeing Ling Yi's impatience towards Xiang Chen last night, and his cautious attitude when he picked up Wen Yang, he thought Ling Yi liked Wen Yang.
Now that I think about it, he must have drunk too much and his mind was not clear, so he saw it wrongly...
Zhou Minghao shook his head, set an alarm on his phone on the bed, and lay down again with peace of mind.
