"My name is Zhou Jia, what's your name?" He was invited to enter the room next door.

He was shocked when he stepped into the comfortable warm room and could not believe his eyes. Too clean and neat, too warm and homey! He quietly walked in and felt like he was straying into a couple's space...Zhou Jia shook his head and felt it was only his imagination.

"Brother Zhou Jia, my name is Su Xing." He said. "Sit down here. I'll pour you a glass of water." However he found that there were only two cups in the room, one for him and one for Yu Feng.

Fortunately, Su Xing remembered that when he went shopping at the supermarket, he was given a cherry blossom patterned cup. This came in handy now.

"Thank you." Zhou Jia looked at the drink. It was not plain boiled water, but scented tea with wolfberry and chrysanthemum. This level of sophistication was really thought-provoking. He gave Su Xing another glance.

"You're welcome." Su Xing said while bringing food to the table.

The two people chatted while eating. Zhou Jia was a lively and talkative person. Su Xing learned that the man was working towards his degree and majoring in biology.

After the meal, Zhou Jia gratefully said, "Thank you Su Xing for your hospitality. I'll invite you to dinner on Friday. Can you come?"

The young man next door could cook. Zhou Jia sharpened his mind and wanted to make friends. What's more, the young man looked enthusiastic and Zhou Jia had an idea of pulling him into his circle of friends.

Su Xing froze and immediately wanted to refuse, but it would seem out of place after he thought about it. A few days ago, he vowed to his brother that he was okay, that he was improving and would retract into his shell.

"Okay." Su Xing agreed to Zhou Jia's invitation.

In the afternoon, Yu Feng came back before dinner. The weather in Beijing was still hot in early September. The man returned from the teaching building and was lightly sweating. He unbuttoned his collar at the door, he looked very casual, completely different from at the office.

If one saw him at school, they would say that Yu Feng was a model student with a professional atmosphere. However at home in front of Su Xing, Yu Feng was a relaxed and lazy old beast. This casualness lasted until he walked to the table and saw the paper cup.

Yu Feng walked to the bathroom and knocked on the door. The person inside had just taken a shower. Su Xing's hair was still wet when he opened the door. The first thing he saw was his brother's chest.

"Brother, you're back?" Su Xing stepped back a little.

"Who was here?" Yu Feng asked without hiding his emotions.

"Um, how did you know?" Su Xing answered, "I made a new friend and invited him over for lunch."

Su Xing did not notice his brother's expression change and continued, "His name is Zhou Jia, a student of the biology department. He lives next door to us. He has a good personality and looks good."

At this moment, Su Xing realized that Yu Feng's expression was unpleasant. "Didn't you want me to make new friends?"

The question made Yu Feng blink. He quickly smiled and touched Su Xing's head. "Nothing wrong, you can make new friends. I am very happy for you."

Yes, in Su Xing's case, it was best to make friends at the university. He should not stop it. On the contrary, he should support it.

Yu Feng suppressed his selfishness and distraction. He swept Su Xing's bangs aside and kissed his forehead. He whispered as Su Xing left to dry his hair. "I'll take a bath."
