CFL 17

Jiang Yufeng’s first impression of Wen Ci was that he was easily shy, reserved, and somewhat naive. In reality, it was a bit different from what he had imagined. Wen Ci was quite bold, straightforward, and occasionally showed a bit of cleverness. During the first few days of school, he was so directionally challenged that he couldn’t tell east from west, but now he had completely mapped out the school’s layout, demonstrating a very strong learning ability.

So when Jiang Yufeng suggested that he strip naked, Wen Ci refused, and he didn’t mind. However…

Wen Ci spoke in a very low voice, afraid of being overheard. He stealthily lifted his eyelids and unexpectedly locked eyes with Jiang Yufeng across from him.

Uh-oh.

Did he hear that?

Jiang Yufeng lowered his eyes, looking as if he didn’t want to look at him.

Wen Ci thought to himself, did he dislike him again?

He suddenly felt a bit thirsty.

He really wanted to eat strawberries.

How about going to get a cup of milk tea after class? A four-dollar cup of big lemonade, ilove.

During the last class of the afternoon, Wen Ci took advantage of the chaos to go downstairs and buy a super large cup of lemonade.

Jiang Yufeng had just finished a phone call and looked back to see Wen Ci holding the lemonade, his lips pursed, and his cheeks puffed up with the sour and sweet liquid.

If someone were to poke his cheeks with a finger at that moment, it would probably spray a table full of water.

Jiang Yufeng slightly lowered his eyes and pressed his lips with the back of his hand.

The last class was still self-study, and everyone was doing their own thing. The sound of discussion was gradually replaced by the noise of gaming and cursing. Wen Ci finished a large cup of lemonade and went to the restroom three or four times during the class.

When he returned to his seat, he noticed that Sha Zhengyi had finally rejoined the group, and Cheng He was there too.

As Wen Ci approached, he realized they were discussing going out for barbecue tonight, having a meal together with Group Four to get to know each other better.

Cheng He, who had already finished his class, came to find Jiang Yufeng to go out for dinner tonight and happened to hear about this: “Barbecue, I love it. Let’s go together.”

Sha Zhengyi had a great social circle and was open to everyone: “The more, the merrier. You’re welcome to join!”

Sha Zhengyi was particularly reserved only towards Jiang Yufeng, glancing at Wen Ci.

Wen Ci: “?”

Cheng He also instinctively looked at Wen Ci. Although he didn’t want to be a desperate suitor, he still had a good impression of Wen Ci…

But lately, he hadn’t heard Wen Ci mention Jiang Yufeng. Had they broken up?

Jiang Yufeng slightly raised his eyes: “Are you going?”

For a moment, everyone looked at Wen Ci, who was a bit dazed: “……Yeah, I’ll go.”

Lu Xuesong’s eyes were very busy, looking here and there, feeling that the atmosphere was quite strange.

So, they all walked out of class and headed to the school gate.

[W: Senior, I have a group dinner tonight.]

[Yf: I know.]

[W: You know? Do you have a dinner too?]

[Yf: Yes.]

Wen Ci put away his phone, thinking that students from University A usually went to the food street across the street for group dinners. He wondered if he would run into the senior.

Even if he did, he probably wouldn’t recognize him.

Lu Xuesong was a very emotional person. He looked at Wen Ci walking in front, who was busy replying to messages, and then at Jiang Yufeng walking behind, who was also busy replying to messages.

He felt that something was off, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

Cheng He fell a few steps behind and came to Jiang Yufeng’s side: “Has Wen Ci been… lately?”

Jiang Yufeng coldly interrupted him: “What do you want to say?”

“You know, I…”

“I don’t know.”

“……”

The people from Group Four, who had finished class early, had already reserved a table and were waiting for them to join. Lu Xuesong sat to Wen Ci’s right, and Jiang Yufeng sat to his left.

It was almost the same as their positions in the classroom.

Wen Ci sipped hot tea, waiting for the skewers to arrive.

Under the glaring white light, Wen Ci’s skin was strikingly fair and smooth. Someone suddenly mentioned to Wen Ci: “It seems like you have higher popularity on the forum now.”

Since finding the senior last time, Wen Ci hadn’t logged on again. He asked, “Why?”

“Because you’re good-looking. Everyone is a face-ist.” Wen Ci’s appearance was the ultimate catch in the gay community, a type that both older and younger people liked. To put it simply, he was universally appealing.

Wen Ci often heard such comments and habitually said thank you.

“Hahaha, if you get into a relationship, I guess half of our college will be heartbroken.”

Wen Ci thought to himself, that’s an exaggeration, but he still told the truth: “I have someone I like now.”

The whole table suddenly fell silent for a moment~

“Did you get into a relationship?”

Wen Ci: “I’m still pursuing him.”

This time, even the air seemed to freeze, as if time had stopped.

Lu Xuesong quickly guessed who it was, the unknown senior.

He sighed. Wen Ci had a carefree look on his face. Did he even know what liking someone meant? He just said he liked someone. He was probably just craving their body. After satisfying his craving, he would probably kick the person away and act innocent.

Jiang Yufeng took a sip of tea, appearing very calm, seemingly uninterested in the topic.

Cheng He shook his head slightly in the corner, unnoticed by others. It seemed that even if it wasn’t Jiang Yufeng, he wouldn’t have a chance either.

Sha Zhengyi had a very complicated expression.

When he was organizing the photos earlier, he saw a picture of Jiang Yufeng standing in the shade, fanning himself. Knowing it was taken by Wen Ci, he deleted that photo from the package he sent to Jiang Yufeng.

Now it seemed like he had discovered a huge secret.

Wen Ci was pursuing Jiang Yufeng.

Cheng He leaned back in his chair and inadvertently glanced at Jiang Yufeng’s expression.

At this table, people had different reactions to Wen Ci’s words: some were surprised, some were curious, some were gossiping, some congratulated him, and then there were those with expressions as complicated as Lu Xuesong and Sha Zhengyi, who were hard to read. Only Jiang Yufeng…

Bro, what are you smiling about?

The first day of military training soon arrived. They had to change into their uniforms in the dormitory and then gather on the playground.

The military uniform that Wen Ci had initially picked up was the smallest size for males. It fit well everywhere except for the waist, which had a large gap. Even with the belt tightened as much as possible, it still felt loose when fastened.

Lu Xuesong came out after changing and saw Wen Ci tugging at the end of the belt, almost pulling himself out of balance.

He walked over and asked, “What are you doing?”

Wen Ci looked troubled: “I don’t know how to adjust this belt. It’s so loose.”

Tao Peng was already fully dressed and urged them, “We’re going to be late. Hurry up.”

Lu Xuesong walked over and hooked his finger under the waistband, pulling out a large gap. Wen Ci clutched it tightly to prevent any accidental exposure.

Curious, Lu Xuesong asked, “What’s your waist size?”

Wen Ci replied slowly, “56.”

“……”

Lu Xuesong let out a low curse.

In the end, they couldn’t fix it properly. Wen Ci managed to tie a small knot to prevent his pants from falling down. The quality of the camouflage pants was even worse than the ten-dollar sleepwear his father had bought.

Going downstairs to the playground, Wen Ci immediately spotted Jiang Yufeng standing nearby. He was neatly dressed in a full set of camouflage, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. His demeanor was calm and indifferent, making him stand out in the crowd like a crane among chickens.

“Senior, senior, senior~”

Lu Xuesong nagged in his ear. Wen Ci guiltily averted his gaze and retorted, “I was just looking.”

“Sure, and your eyes are bulging out.”

Wen Ci dismissed it: “This is called appreciation.”

After saying that, he slightly lowered his eyes. Moreover, Jiang Yufeng had said he didn’t like him.

He wasn’t going to force himself on someone who didn’t want him.

Lu Xuesong leaned in: “Then I’ll appreciate you too.”

Wen Ci’s beauty was soft, with rosy lips and white teeth, and he had a slightly delicate and pretty appearance. However, the upright camouflage uniform neutralized this effect.

Lu Xuesong threw himself at him: “Give me a kiss, give me a kiss.”

Wen Ci dodged in alarm: “……”

They were formed into a company of three classes, with a large number of people, so they were assigned two drill instructors.

Before the mobilization meeting began, they had to first organize the ranks according to height.

Although Wen Ci looked delicate, he wasn’t too short and was placed at the end of the second-to-last row. Standing behind him was Jiang Yufeng, who gave him the feeling of having a mountain pressing down on his back.

Jiang Yufeng’s hat brim was pulled very low, casting a shadow over his eyes. He glanced down and saw the small knot of Wen Ci’s belt tucked into his waistband. It looked very tight to the naked eye, and the curve of his lower back was fully revealed.

Today ended particularly early, and they didn’t do much. It was completely different from the exhausting high school military training.

Tao Peng had a friend who had come from far away to play with him. Lu Xuesong also knew him and heard that he was an elementary school classmate, so they were going out tonight.

The dormitory was left with only Wen Ci. He climbed onto the bed and put on a pair of pants with a wider waistband. He didn’t zip up the fly and left it loosely open, revealing the light-colored underwear inside.

Well, he just wanted to figure out how to deal with this damn belt.

He had talked about it with his senior.

As a result, the senior directly made a video call. It was unexpected, and Wen Ci was unprepared. He propped the phone against the railing, trembling as if it would fall at any moment.

The tripod wasn’t on the bed, and at this angle, only Wen Ci’s pants could be seen. So when the video opened, Wen Ci’s lower body was directly facing the camera.

The senior’s side was also dark, and nothing could be seen. It seemed that the other party didn’t want to show their face yet.

Wen Ci didn’t dwell on this issue.

Senior: “What are you doing, taking off your pants?”

The senior’s voice was as ever magnetic and cool. Upon hearing it, Wen Ci’s ears turned red: “I don’t know how to tie the belt.”

Wen Ci tried to save face and added, “Don’t call me stupid.”

The senior curled the corner of his mouth.

Then, the senior would say a sentence, and Wen Ci would follow with an action.

The metal buckle of this belt could be detached, and the few holes were useless because Wen Ci’s waist was too thin. So they decided to wear it without making any holes.

Wen Ci said, “It will fall off.”

“Tighten it a bit more, and it won’t.”

Wen Ci complained, “The quality is so poor. What if it falls off while I’m running?”

“It won’t.”

The senior’s words seemed to have a magical power. Wen Ci tightened it according to his instructions. It was still a bit loose, but better than before.

Wen Ci, still in a straddle-kneeling position, happily said, “Thank you, senior.”

“No zipper.”

Wen Ci felt like he was about to be seen naked by the senior and blushed as he said, “Thank you, senior.”

He was about to sit down when the senior said, “Don’t move.”

Like magic, Wen Ci’s body froze. He realized how strange his posture was.

It was just a screen away, such a distant relationship, yet he felt the senior’s breath about to hit his cheek. Unprepared, Wen Ci was teased by the senior’s voice and almost had a reaction.

“Kneel.”

Wen Ci knelt and said, “Senior…”

“It’s not senior.”

He was interrupted.

Wen Ci came to his senses, feeling both ashamed and excited: “Hello, instructor.”
