Waiting For You Online Chapter 14

014. Who Attacks Who

Tong Xuan Ignored He Jin, He Jin also could not participate in the girl's gossip, so his mind slowly began to wander, thinking of his own worries.

He thought of his seemingly down-to-earth but boring college life these years. Not to mention a decent love, he did not even have friends he could talk about feelings with, he never played until late at night, nor went out and got drunk like others...

He envied Hou Dongyan and his love for playing games, envied Zhao Xibai's and his girlfriend' bickering, also envied the youthful blood of the tennis club members , Shang and Qin Yu ...

Thinking of the imminent end of his own freedom, He Jin's heart was filled with unwillingness and regret. Honestly, he still felt curious about the world outside, he wanted to take a break and saw it with his own eyes.

But he knew, that woman would never agree, and he had no courage to die by his own mother's hand.

He Jin looked up at the vast blue sky, as if looking at his own path which had been arranged for him, his expression dull and lifeless.

Inexplicably, He Jin's mind turned back to Fire, thinking of his eight years of waiting.

Although this occurred only in virtual network, it was also the only unusual thing he had experienced in his ordinary days in recent years.

Deep in the bottom of his heart, a small fire had already been lit, fluttering and impossible to be ignored. That warmth invited him to explore this unreasonable affection feeling of his, but he felt uneasy over the truth of his gender that had yet to surface.

"Cold?" Hearing Fire's voice so close to him jerked He Jin's back from his day dreaming. He looked up and found out that the person talking to him was actually Qin Yu, whose gaze was fixed on him from under that dark hair of his. His stare somehow created a false illusion of affectionate feeling in He Jin's mind.

"Ah ...?" He Jin tried to make a sound, but his voice trembled, causing his ears to turn bright red out of embarrassment.

Truthfully, Qin Yu was just casually looking at him, and when he saw his shrinking neck, he also just very casually asked that question to him.

He Jin quickly straightened himself, and tried again: "Well, a bit, when I went out this morning I actually thought the weather was good, I did not expect it would be this cold at the lake."

Qin Yu gently let out an "Ah" sound, and looked past He Jin's head. Late autumn was still better than winter, although the sparkling water of this lake did give off a chilling vibe. Qin Yu did not feel cold though. Because his body had a good condition, even when it's cold, his hands and feet would still feel warm.

"You were thinking about something before." Qin Yu still did not look at He Jin, and uttered this sentence faintly. The tone of his voice indicating it's not a question, but a statement.

He Jin was surprised, and it might be because Qin Yu and Fire gave off the same aura, or because his mind was still distracted, but he actually blurted out: "Yes, thinking about what I'd do after graduating."

Qin Yu: "You are still a junior, but already thinking about this?"

He Jin smiled: "Yeah, if you wait until you are a senior to think about this, then it might be too late. You still have to think whether to go to graduate school or go abroad. Time is needed to prepare for this decision. In fact, most of our school students already have clear goals when they entered university..."

Qin Yu: "What about you? Have you decided? "

"My family wants me to work right after graduation," He Jin answered.

Qin Yu glanced at him: "You don't want to?"

He Jin freeze, he was sure his tone didn't reveal anything, yet Qin Yu was able to rightly guessed what was on his mind. After a while, he smiled softly: "Yes. "

Qin Yu fell silent for a moment, before saying in a faint voice: "Whatever you want to do, just do it as soon as possible. The longer you hesitate, the less daring you will become, then you will end up never doing it."

Hearing such words coming from Qin Yu, He Jin was once again surprised, because he did not just give a simple "If you don't want to, then don't do it" answer, but instead followed it up with a perfectly sound reason.

The flame in He Jin's heart began to burn a bit more brightly, like something was pulling at it, making it felt warmer.

---

When they were close to the shore, the previously blue sky unexpectedly began to get layered by grey clouds, with the wind also blowing more and more fiercely. They quickly got off the boat and ran, as it started raining.

They stopped outside a food court area, then hurriedly went inside the nearest one. Fortunately the rain was still small, so they were not that wet. The girls began wiping their face while complaining: "Didn't you say the weather will be nice today!"

Tong Xuan: "The weather forecast says it's going to rain in the evening, so I thought if we just go a bit early then there would be no problem! "

Just then, Zhao Xibai suddenly sneezed, making Guo You hurriedly handed a paper towel to him in distress: "You guys also don't forget to dry yourself, it's so easy to get a cold when it's raining, don't let the chill sipped into your scalp."

After she said this, they heard a gentle female voice asking them: "Excuse me, are you a party of eight?" "A uniformed waiter stood at their side, smiling," do you want to sit in the box or the lobby?"

'Oh! What are we doing here?' Only then were they realized that the restaurant they've rushed into was actually a pretty upscale one, 'Won't it be very expensive here, ah?!'

When the girls were worrying about the food price, Zhao Xibai said: "Let's go in, if we go out now, we will lose even more face."

Guo You glared at him: "You are one to talk, in case the prices here are around four or five hundred yuan, we wouldn't be able to eat for at least half a month ah!"

The waiter covered her mouth and smiled: "It's not that expensive, only up to one or two hundred." "

Everyone: "..." (= _ =)

For ordinary students, a meal in the canteen cost no more than 10 or 20 yuan, therefore one hundred or two hundred meal is still deadly for them!

However Qin Yu unexpectedly just stared blankly at the waiter and said two words: "box."

All of them was startled, handsome boy you answer way too quickly ...

"Yes, please follow me!" "The waiter led them inside enthusiastically, while saying," the box has the ordinary and the lake view options, but since there is not many people in the shop right now, so I will arrange you to sit in the lake view box at the price of the ordinary view one. "

Li Yao exclaimed: "The box has different prices?"

Waiter smiled: "Yes, the average between the minimum consumption is 1000 yuan, but you have eight people, so it should be fine."

Several girls immediately covered their chests, they would have to order some of the cheapest dishes ah ... But... the one who made this decision was the school idol ah, wouldn't he like those expensive dishes instead!

Arrived at the box, sure enough it was facing the Kun Lake, the room was decorated exquisitely, with a glass covered mahogany round table, which looked really upscale.

They sat down courageously, and was handed a menu by the waiter. The menu was also decorated with copper, giving off an antique feeling, on the cover written four words-Kun Lake Ya Tong.

"We are finished ..." Li Yao Yao was afraid to open it, her hands trembled.

He Jin looked at the cold dishes menu at first page, and indeed it was a little expensive, but Zhao Xibai still acted carelessly, and said: "We are already here, whatever you want to eat just order it ah, if you can't afford it, well don't worry, we have seniors here who can cover for us..."

One of the seniors, He Jin: "....."

The second senior, Shang: "....."

Qin Yu opened the menu: "Just order, I'll pay."

The girls eyes brightened, but they also felt embarrassed: "How could we let you ah, this is a 1000 yuan meal... to expensive. "

Qin Yu glanced at Shang: "I owed him a meal." Meaning, he would treat them because of Shang, so if they wanted to thank someone, they should thank Shang.

Shang smiled and looked at the menu: "Let him pay, he has money."

All the girls's faces turned excited, did not expect the normally low-key school idol was actually a rich second generation, it added a lot of extra points to his charm!

Zhao Xibai also said: "One person order a dish, just hurry ah, I didn't eat breakfast, so I'm starving."

The crowd finally no longer argued over the cost of the dishes. When it was He Jin's turn to order, he habitually picked the sweet and sour pork ribs. Hearing this dish name, Qin Yu subconsciously glanced up at him, staring at He Jin who was still looking at the menu. Like his hand, He Jin's face was also smaller than those of average boy's, he looked clean, and more childish than others his age.

If "Ah Jin" is a boy, will he look like this?

...... If this was the case, I don't seem to dislike this.

During dinner the girls couldn't help but start gossiping about Qin Yu again. It's because he was usually too dazzling, it's rare for them to be able to talk to him openly, so they had to seize this opportunity to learn more about him.

Li Yao Yao: "Shang Bai Jian, isn't your relationship with Qin Yu really good?"

Shang: "Eh? It's fine. "

Guo You suddenly said: "Seniors, do you know there are rumors spreading around that you and Qin Yu is a couple?"

"Poof ..." Shang Bai Jian sprayed out a mouthful of soup, "what?"

Qin Yu also stopped his picking-the-dish action, and looked at Guo You, so she had to explain further.

Guo You: "Because Qin Yu don't deal with girls, and everyone sees him usually hangs out with you, so there are some girls who guessed that you are gay ..."

"Cough and cough ..." Shang Bai-Jian's face was red, he quickly wiped his mouth with a small towel, "what is this nonsense ..."

"Wow, you girls are so wicked!" Zhao Xibai could not help but laughed, then looked at Shang and Qin Yu, "then between both of them... Who attacks who? "

Although homosexuality was not yet fully accepted by the public in this time, it was natural for young people to talk about this.

"Zhao Xibai, I see you have been completely influenced by your girlfriend ..."Bai-Jian said with indignation, "I am sure I'm the attack Ah!" "

[T/N: Attack = gong = seme, while shou = uke]

All of them laughed, this time even He Jin did not hold back and laughed along.

Guo You covered her mouth and giggled: "Not eh, everyone said that senior Shang is the shou!"

Shang: "..."

Zhao Xibai let out an "ouch" sound and covered his eyes: "I can't imagine the president as the one attacked ah, but no wonder I've always felt amazed by president's ability to endure suffering ..."

He Jin: "...." (=_=)

"OK, OK, let's stop this topic," After laughing madly, Tong Xuan came out to calm the situation, "but Qin Yu, you seem to be too asexual to the girls ah, so cold, so people started saying things about you."

Li Yao Yao: "Yes, normal boys this age usually would have showed their color already."

Qin Yu took a piece of rib, and said solemnly: "That's just because you haven't seen me showing my true color."

Li Yao Yao could't help asking: "Oh, so when will you show your ' color ' ah?"

Qin Yu squinted at her, stretched out his tongue, and with a slow action, licked the top of his chopsticks: "Of course ... it's only in front of the person I like. "
