Lu Zhi had no idea his brother had misunderstood.
Right after the video call ended, Shen Qi appeared like a phantom, startling Lu Zhi into dropping his water cup. Shen Qi caught it just in time, but his other hand also found its way to Lu Zhi's waist, asking, "What are you doing, so distracted?"
Lu Zhi rolled his eyes, took the cup back from Shen Qi's hand, turned, and poured himself another cup of warm water, asking, "Where are my clothes?"
"Ah~ I knew the clothes you were wearing looked familiar. Turns out they're mine." Shen Qi's playfully surprised tone sounded to Lu Zhi as if he had intentionally worn his clothes.
Lu Zhi's earlobes turned bright red, and he retorted in embarrassment and anger, "I was taking a shower, and there were no clothes of mine in the room. Was I supposed to run around naked? I'm not some perverted exhibitionist!"
The latter part was a veiled implication.
"If you want to see my naked body, baby, you just have to say it directly. No need to beat around the bush," Shen Qi unhurriedly unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt, his attitude flippant and ambiguous. "I'll show you. No, not just show you, you can touch me however you want."
Lu Zhi: ???
Lu Zhi: !!!
"You you you, what are you doing?" Lu Zhi stumbled back three steps, one hand cupped behind his burning red cheek, the other clutching his collar, his dark, bright eyes wide with flustered panic. "No funny business!"
Shen Qi strode over, scooped Lu Zhi up, and said, "What do you call this? It's called foreplay."
Lu Zhi reacted, instinctively hugging Shen Qi tightly in fear, struggling and shouting, "Shen Qi? What are you doing? Put me down!"
Shen Qi: "Alright, I'll put you down."
Just as Lu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, he was abruptly thrown onto the bed. In a daze, before he could get up, Shen Qi was pressing down on him. He floundered like a turtle, unable to flip over, his face turning red from suppressed exertion. He hurriedly said, "Shen Qi, get off me!"
Shen Qi had only intended to tease him, but seeing Lu Zhi's flushed face and evasive eyes, he couldn't help but continue. He pinned the other firmly between the sheets, controlling the force with one hand at the nape of his neck, while the other slid up along the exposed waist revealed by the rising shirt hem. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Lu Zhi flinched violently, his waist suddenly tensing and arching convulsively. The warmth of the skin rubbing against him made his limbs go weak. He angrily cursed, "Shen Qi, if you do this again, I'm going to get angry... Mmph... It tickles, stop touching me randomly!"
Suddenly, Lu Zhi's body froze.
Shen Qi's hand, which had been playfully teasing his drawing, also stopped. He leaned his head closer to Lu Zhi's ear, his low, chuckling voice filled with ambiguous temptation, "What to do? Need some help?"
Lu Zhi's face turned as red as ripe blood, his breathing shallow. He gritted his teeth and said, "No—need! Get off me!"
Shen Qi gazed at his flushed profile for a long time before releasing the restraint on Lu Zhi and rolling over to lie flat on the bed.
Lu Zhi shot up from the bed with a whoosh and dashed into the bathroom, yelling, "Shen Qi, you bastard!"
Shen Qi propped his forehead with one hand, his silver-grey eyes, which had turned golden-red with silver ringed pupils at some point, revealing his most genuine desires. He chuckled low, "I haven't done the more bastardly things yet..."
Shen Qi slowly closed his eyes, listening to the anxious sound of boiling hot water mixed with the dripping sounds from the bathroom. Lu Zhi's scattered breaths, escaping his lips, continued to provoke him, clouding Shen Qi's reason.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of rushing water came from the bathroom. The bathroom door opened, and Lu Zhi, like a startled small animal, peeked his head out cautiously and sneakily. Then, feeling too timid, he coughed and walked out of the bathroom as if nothing had happened.
As he approached the bed, Lu Zhi stopped, his gaze drifting to the area below his waist. Those who understood would understand the silent three seconds, and he inexplicably felt dry-mouthed, turning his head with awkwardness, "I'm done, I'm giving you the bathroom."
But Shen Qi didn't move. He opened his eyes, which had already calmed all emotions and returned to their silver-grey hue, and beckoned Lu Zhi with a finger.
Lu Zhi hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked closer, "What is it?"
Shen Qi reached out, "Give me a hand."
Lu Zhi, however, crossed his arms and stopped where he was, pointing to the 'danger zone' with his gaze, "No, I'm afraid you'll get up to mischief again."
Shen Qi heard this, his chest vibrating, a smile spilling from his lips. He had actually learned to be unreasonable. "If you don't pull me up, I won't get up. There's only an hour left before the monthly exam, so let's just cancel it."
Lu Zhi rushed forward, grabbed Shen Qi's hand, and pulled him up from the bed. He lectured, "Shen Qi, you are a mature deity, how can you act like a child throwing a tantrum? There's still some time, why don't you go to the bathroom and take care of it first?"
Shen Qi didn't take the opportunity to continue his playful harassment this time. He placed a hand on Lu Zhi's shoulder and leaned down, saying, "Baby, believe me, one hour isn't enough."
After saying that, he walked into the bathroom.
Realizing what he meant, Lu Zhi, in a fit of anger, cursed loudly, "Shen Qi, are you calling me fast?!"
A scholar can be killed, but not insulted. How could a man be called fast!
He, he clearly lasted quite a long time too.
After being angry for a while, Lu Zhi went to search Shen Qi's wardrobe again. He surprisingly found a black hoodie tucked away in a corner, still in its packaging. He chuckled in surprise, "Isn't this Shen Qi's style? Did Principal Shen buy it?"
The size was just right for Lu Zhi. It fit perfectly, although the pink piglet on the chest looked a bit childish. But having suitable clothes to wear was better than wearing Shen Qi's oversized robes.
He wondered if there were any suitable pants.
Thinking this, Lu Zhi began searching the lower part of Shen Qi's wardrobe.
Shen Qi came out after a cold shower and saw Lu Zhi's pert, round buttocks disappearing into the wardrobe, rummaging through drawers and cabinets like a little mouse.
"Found it." Lu Zhi happily dug out a pair of blue jeans and turned around to see Shen Qi standing behind him with his arms crossed, his eyes fixed on him. Lu Zhi guiltily shoved all the clothes on the floor back under the cabinet, saying, "Uh, you have quite a lot of clothes, haha..."
Shen Qi glanced at the jeans in his hand and said, "These clothes were all bought for me by Shen Lu. The tags haven't even been removed."
Lu Zhi: "Not to mention the tags, the packaging bags haven't even been opened, okay? Move aside." He slipped into the bathroom to change his pants. The waistband was a bit wide, but it didn't matter.
Whether it was a psychological effect or not, Lu Zhi felt that the bathroom was hotter than the bedroom, and there was a faint scent of musk...
Lu Zhi quickly patted his own face with his hands for a physical cooldown and put the discarded clothes into the washing machine next to the bathroom door, saying, "Shen Qi, you didn't start wearing suits when you were a child, did you?"
Shen Qi had also changed his clothes and glanced sideways at the question, "Mm."
Lu Zhi imagined Shen Qi wearing a suit when he was little, with a cool, aloof little face. He must have been very cute. He wondered if Principal Shen had any photos.
Shen Qi flicked Lu Zhi's cheek with his index finger, "What are you smiling about so... lewdly?"
Lu Zhi unceremoniously swatted his hand away, "What do you mean smiling lewdly? Watch your words! Let's go."
What he said made him doubt if he was a pervert.
