Chapter 058 : Be Careful of Hair Loss

“Ah?” He Jin drank a mouthful of his macchiato and looked up, “Yes, our relationship is quite good. How did you know?”

Tong Xuan stared at He Jin, the young man’s lips was still covered by a sticky circle of milk bubbles, his eyes were wide and clear, his appearance so utterly innocence… She found herself unable to say what she had wanted to say.

She had wanted to tell He Jin that she felt something for Qin Yu and wanted to chase him… As for how did she come to like him, that happened because when she passed by the tennis court , she’d occasionally see Qin Yu having friendly matches with other schoolmates. His appearance was so dazzling even from the other side of the stadium, and she couldn’t help developing a crush.

But she knew, the number of girls who had a crush on Qin Yu was immeasurable, they could create a few laps around the whole China if they were to be lined up. So what she felt might be mere infatuation, and not necessarily love. Just like what she felt for He Jin two years ago, it was inexplicable.

Tong Xuan was very popular in school, so she was also very confident and brave. She knew what she wanted and was not afraid to take the initiative to pursue them.

Because He Jin and Qin Yu was close, she thought about asking He Jin to help her; either by enticing Qin Yu with stories about her, or by creating opportunities for them to get along.

It might be an easy thing for He Jin, but Tong Xuan wasn’t sure if he still had any old feelings for her. If he did, no matter how small, it would make her feel like she was taking advantage of the man’s soft spot towards her – it felt a bit despicable.

She pressed down on her own selfish desires, and continued to ridicule him, “You and Qin Yu’s good relationship, news about it has been passed around by the girls in the student union. You also know that the girls in the Propaganda Department and the Discipline Department are all like Bai Xiao Sheng, no gossip can be hidden from their ears. Ah, I also heard that the two of you took a walk around campus after midnight? Is that true?”

He Jin thought of the girls who previously caught them running in the middle of the night and was immediately embarrassed. How many days had this gossip been spread?

However if the one he ran with was replaced with Hou Dongyan, there wouldn’t be such a great spread of gossip. The problem was still because it’s Qin Yu!

He Jin simply explained to Tong Xuan that he was learning to play tennis from Qin Yu, and the other guy urged him to exercise his body. Tong Xuan felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, “How come I’ve never seen you having such a good relationship with someone else before?” She paused, then half-jokingly said, “Both of you can’t really be like what people have been saying right? You are not really in a gay relationship, are you?”

He Jin was merely being open and honest. When he heard the word “gay relationship”, his hand holding the coffee cup loosen, with a loud “bang” the cup fell, and the coffee sprinkled all over the table. The two of them stood up in a hurry, then took a paper towel to wipe the table and their coffee-soiled trousers.

On the surface, He Jin’s appearance was very calm, he handed over the wet paper towel to a waiter and rubbed his hands.

Tong Xuan thought her joke was too much, and said a little guilty: “Is it hot? Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” The coffee was not hot, what felt hot now was He Jin’s own face. His heart was beating like crazy, like someone whose secret had been found out- but there was no secret. His relationship with Qin Yu was perfectly innocent… However at that moment, he suddenly thought of Qin Yu’s similar voice with Fire’s; of Leisure Cloud and Wild Crane kissing under the silver trees and fireworks; of the intimate contacts he had been having with his same-sex husband in the game… Then, his whole person seemed to be burning, into a nervous and frightened wreck.
