The bedroom suddenly darkened.
The bedside lamp was on, leaving a little light, and the warm yellow light was wrapped in the moonlight streaming in from the window, quietly mixing together.
Yu Sheng was really sleepy, and he fell asleep not long after lying down, his breathing gradually became even.
Jin Linkun’s heartbeat finally dropped slightly to the normal range.
The quilt was indeed not small, Yu Sheng took up some of it while most of which were on his side.
Jin Linkun picked up the pillow and gently took a deep breath, lifted the quilt up and moved in.
He didn’t lie down immediately, and sat on the head of the bed for a long time, leaning against the pillow, took out his phone, turned the screen to the dimmest, and clicked on WeChat.
In the hotpot restaurant late at night, Liang Yifan, who knows nothing but studying, was painfully practising whistling, when the phone in his pocket vibrated suddenly.
When he took it out, it turned out to be a message from KunShen that he never expected.
Jin Linkun: Are you there?
Liang Yifan sat upright, his mind spinning rapidly.
These two people are obviously going to spend the night at Sheng-ge’s house tonight. Although no one in the Group 7 knows the structure of Sheng-ge’s house, it does not prevent them from giving in to their broad imagination.
“News from KunShen?” Xia Junhua leaned over excitedly, his imagination soaring wildly: “At this time——is KunShen being beaten by Sheng-ge again and kicked out of the house?”
Ding Zhengjiao was very dissatisfied with his schadenfreude: “How is it possible? At most, Sheng-ge’s house doesn’t have a guest room, so KunShen sleeps on the sofa. So, KunShen can’t sleep.”
“Maybe KunShen wants to sneak into Sheng-ge’s bedroom to explore at night!”
Cen Rui rubbed his hands excitedly, “Come back quickly, let’s see what Sheng-ge needs our help! Although we are completely inexperienced, we have a rich imagination…”
The voice fell, another message arrived from the other party.
Jin Linkun: We are now lying on the same bed, covered with a quilt.
Cen Rui: “…”
Ding Zhengjiao: “…”
Group 7 with rich imagination: “…”
Liang Yifan knew a lot, stared at the line of words and studied it several times, and replied a little apprehensively: So…do you still have any dissatisfaction?
It took a while for Jin Linkun’s message to pop up: No.
Jin Linkun: Are there any similar strategies?
Liang Yifan was stunned: What strategies?
Jin Linkun: For example, if I accidentally fell asleep on my roommate’s bed, how would I survive the next day kind of plan?
The hotpot restaurant was quiet for a while, and Cen Rui was the first to react, rubbing his eyes and doubting life: “No, KunShen shouldn’t be this type of person, I think it’s probably hacked.”
A group of people took it seriously, abandoned classmate Liang Yifan, and disbanded on the spot without any morals.
___
Jin Linkun waited for the phone for a while, but did not get any useful information, so he put down the phone and propped his head on the edge of the bed.
The bedroom was very quiet, Yu Sheng was sound asleep with his face buried in the pillow.
Usually he is obviously very tough, but when he is asleep, he seems obedient for no reason, and the sharpness of figure softens.
Jin Linkun couldn’t help reaching out his hand, wanting to touch his hair.
The freshly dried hair was still slightly cool, Jin Linkun touched it lightly, and was about to raise his hand when Yu Sheng suddenly moved.
The drowsy sleepy boy turned around, rubbed his palm against his head, and leaned over towards the warm breaths of air.
Jin Linkun stopped his movements and unconsciously held his breath.
He still can’t get over that photo.
Yu Sheng told him about a time he had a stomach ache once, how long he stood in place for. Such a stubborn, radiant and arrogant boy, and how long did he live like this.
Such an empty home.
He actually knew that Yu Sheng did not mind anymore, the young man was still too proud to be sympathised, he was living a good life by himself, he could do everything, and he could do everything concisely.
But…he still wanted to hug him.
Just for a while, gently let go after hugging him.
Jin Linkun sat for a while, then slowly leaned down, took Yu Sheng into his arms, and hugged him quietly.
Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, the person in his arms also vaguely sensed the touch around him, raised his arm, and directly grabbed him with his backhand.
Jin Linkun: “…”
This development was something he hadn’t anticipated.
Jin Linkun moved tentatively, and patted his arm lightly: “Yu Sheng?”
Yu Sheng didn’t wake up at all, it was that he was so used to fishing around for things, in his deep sleep, his arms subconsciously moved, touching Jin Linkun’s arm.
The young man closed his eyes, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he exerted persistent strength on Jin Linkun’s arm, refusing to let him go.
Jin Linkun was also reluctant to retrieve his arm, and lay down for a while holding his breath, still lying under the quilt which covered both of them, and closed his eyes.
Two hours later, Jin Linkun, who still couldn’t fall asleep, touched his phone and glanced at Liang Yifan’s suggestion “Pay attention to all details that may have special meaning”.
…Thinking about it now, the pile of pillows with different shapes on the sofa is probably a hint.
If he didn’t predict the current development through this detail, he can’t blame his roommate for catching and hugging.
Jin Linkun thanked him and put down his phone, closing his eyes.
The boy’s strong body was pressed against his chest, and his short hair rubbed against his neck, making it a little itchy. The lukewarm air brushed his skin and dispersed into the air.
His throat felt dry unconsciously, and he forced himself to regulate his breathing. He really didn’t know what to think, and blindly ran through Yu Sheng’s revised score again in his mind.
The complicated mental journey in the middle of the night prevented Jin Linkun from getting up on time the next morning.
Yu Sheng opened his eyes, and was shocked by the inexplicable scene in front of him.
It seemed that the two of them didn’t need a second pillow. He was resting on Jin Linkun’s shoulder, with one hand strangling his back. Jin Linkun’s arm was on his back, and he was still asleep.
Sensing his movement, the other party was familiar with the action of pulling on the quilt, and tugged it over his shoulder.
Yu Sheng lay down for a while, carefully thinking about who to beat up.
The big living person in his arms suddenly sat up, Jin Linkun couldn’t continue sleeping through it no matter how sleepy he was, so he managed to overcome the deep drowsiness and opened his eyes.
He was still lying down, opened his eyes for a while, and met Yu Sheng’s sight.
Memories of last night flooded his mind.
__
“Careful–“
Yu Sheng was taken aback by him, grabbed his head and slammed into the person under the bed: “As for what, what did you do last night?”
Jin Linkun didn’t do anything last night, except that his arm, which had been used as a pillow all night, was terribly numb. He wanted to sit up and explain, but when he exerted all his strength, he almost fell down.
But he still didn’t know how to explain it, his adam’s apple moved, and Yu Sheng pulled him to sit still: “Friend…”
The friend didn’t seem to want to hear him explain: “Shut up.”
Jin Linkun shut his mouth obediently,
“Slow your movements.”
As soon as Yu Sheng came back to his senses, he figured out what was wrong with his arm, avoided the place that he had been lying on the whole time, and pulled him back into the quilt: “Get back to sleep, I’ll go buy us breakfast.”
Jin Linkun felt that it was necessary for him to participate in this kind of activity, and tried to sit up: “I’m not sleepy anymore, I’ll accompany you—”
His words suddenly paused with the cool touch of his eyelids, paused, and his throat moved: “Yu Sheng…?”
Yu Sheng touched it twice to make sure that the dark circles were not painted on with some eyeshadow pencil, and grabbed the pillow, shoving it at the person.
He has always been a quick learner, and now he has comprehended Jin Linkun’s movements, and tucked the corner of the quilt in a bit roughly: “Stop talking nonsense, don’t you know how to wake me up?”
Jin Linkun opened his mouth, smiled, and said nothing.
Yu Sheng wrapped the person into a rice dumpling, and was about to wash his face to wake up, when his wrist was suddenly grabbed lightly: “Yu Sheng.”
He called out seriously, Yu Sheng frowned, and turned around: “What?”
Jin Linkun half-supported his arms: “Sit closer a bit.”
As soon as Yu Sheng sat down, that arm wrapped around his shoulder and gently pulled it together.
Jin Linkun was ready to be thrown over his shoulder, but the person in his arms just straightened up abnormally stiffly, his breathing stopped, and even his shoulders were completely motionless.
The teenager’s shoulder blades were thin and hard, they didn’t know how to relax, and they pressed firmly against his chest.
Jin Linkun’s heart seemed to skip a beat, he took a breath, his voice softened, and he rubbed his neck: “Did you sleep well last night?”
Yu Sheng pursed his lips, and his adam’s apple moved.
…Never this good before.
He himself doesn’t know what’s going on, he usually suffers from insomnia for an hour or two when lying in bed, and unless he doesn’t close his eyes for three days and three nights, the chances of falling asleep are almost rare.
Especially yesterday after sifting through the piano scores.
The pictures from childhood to adulthood are all stored in memory, and from time to time they can pop up like a switch turned on, playing small movies back and forth in his mind.
He had already made preparations for a night full of those messy things in his head, but he slept exceptionally well the whole night, without even having a superfluous dream.
Yu Sheng hesitated to speak, Jin Linkun held him with one hand, and after a while he almost guessed the answer.
This person is very perceptive. After studying it carefully for a while, he couldn’t help but raise the corners of his lips, and patted his head: “Then you praise me.”
Yu Sheng: “…”
Jin Linkun didn’t wait for his roommate’s praise. He was twisted and placed on the bed so soft that he could bounce, and was re-wrapped into rice dumplings.
___
It is forbidden to set up stalls to sell in the community, and there are not many takeaways in the morning. Yu Sheng went a long way, bought two portions of tofu nao, and came back with a bag of buns.
There was a day market outside, so Yu Sheng bought some food and stood at the entrance of a small convenience store for a while.
Suffering from severe sleep deprivation last night, Jin Linkun closed his eyes again, and when he opened them again, it was almost noon.
Yu Sheng had already had breakfast and was continuing to revise the score. His breakfast was placed on the table, covered with an insulated box, and two cans of Wangzai milk were placed beside it.
In fact, Yu Sheng also had a can in his hand, with a straw inserted, and he drank every sip, twirling the pen carelessly between his fingers.
It’s a pity that the sound of him leaving the door rang, and the person at the table immediately put down their pens with a vigilant click, quickly drank the last few sips of milk, crushed the red soda can and threw it into the trash can.
___
His roommate is so cute.
Jin Linkun rubbed the tip of his nose, cooperatively regained his half-dream and half-awake state, walked around the living room to say hello, yawned and walked to the bathroom.
He vaguely felt that the frequency of this thought* seemed to be getting higher and higher recently.
*(cutey rommie)
After eating steamed stuffed bun tofu nao for brunch, the two of them went out together, found a piano shop at random, and practised the piano briefly.
Yu Sheng’s skills are all there. Although he hasn’t touched the piano in the past three years, he picked it up again faster than Jin Linkun expected.
When he plays the piano, he will appear more relaxed than usual. His thin and clean fingers are jumping on the black and white keys, and his eyebrows are slightly lowered, appearing focused and gentle.
Jin Linkun stood by the side, watched him play the piano seriously, and politely helped to reject several girls who tried to come up to ask for WeChat with “My roommate only wants to study”.
Yu Sheng tried for half an hour, walked through the compiled piece, rubbed his wrists and got up: “No, I have to practise again… What about them*?”
*(the girls asking for wechat)
Jin Linkun handed him the water and coughed lightly: “Them?”
“Aren’t they waiting to play the piano?”
Yu Sheng saw several girls coming over just now, and thought they were waiting in line to try the piano, so he speeded up deliberately, but he didn’t expect that all of them disappeared now: “Couldn’t wait?”
“…” Jin Linkun couldn’t help laughing, and rubbed his head: “Yes, they left first since they couldn’t wait.”
The movement of this person rubbing his head became more and more proficient, Yu Sheng couldn’t help but frown, and slapped that hand away: “Then why don’t you hurry up and practice, what if they come back later?”
Jin Linkun opened his mouth, and was dragged by him to sit down in front of the piano quickly. With a cooperative smile in his eyes, he sat up straight and pressed a few keys.
He has been playing the organ for a long time, and many movements still need temporary adjustments.
Yu Sheng supervised with his arms crossed, and stretched out his hand from time to time to correct his chord-pressing posture, so as to give himself some leeway not to be knocked off the piano bench by his elbow.
The two of them controlled the tempo well, already matching the beat quickly. Yu Sheng bent down and was about to try to join him for the next part, when someone came over and said, “Excuse me, can I try this piano—”
The piano exhibited by the piano shop could be played by anyone. Yu Sheng didn’t know him, so he got up to give way, but found that there seemed to be something wrong with both Jin Linkun and the visitor.
The one who came was also a thin and tall student who was about the same age as them, wearing glasses, his eyes dodged and fell on Jin Linkun, his eyes could not hide the fear and guilt: “Kun-ge, you, why are you—”
He glanced at the document bag next to the piano bench, saw the summer camp logo on it, and his face turned pale: “You…haven’t taken the college entrance examination yet?”
Jin Linkun didn’t move, his hands fell flat on the keys, and he didn’t speak.
The tall and thin boy swallowed his saliva, took two steps back, apologised to Yu Sheng and hastily turned around, before running away without looking back.
The sound of the piano stopped for a while, Yu Sheng frowned and lowered his head: “You—”
“It’s okay.” Jin Linkun smiled, interrupted him, and raised his head, “Come on, try playing a section.”
Yu Sheng pursed his lips, did not speak, bent over from behind him, and put one hand on the keys.
Jin Linkun struck the first chord.
For the first practice together, it is destined to be impossible to directly play out the finished product directly. Jin Linkun is used to the double row of keys, and the area that he can play suddenly decreases half and half again. He often can’t react, and accidentally touches Yu Sheng’s hand.
The roommate, who didn’t even have the patience to correct his chords, suddenly remained silent and coordinated to the extreme, with one hand safely and skillfully wrapped around his arm, playing his part of the music meticulously.
Jin Linkun unconsciously lost his mind, and had already progressed to the next page before remembering that there was a left-hand chord that was too late to play, and subconsciously said: “Sorry——”
The chord sounded over his words.
Yu Sheng had been standing behind him with his right hand to cooperate, but suddenly his left hand came in, pressing the key to make up the chord.
“Why are you apologising? I’m watching.”
The young man’s voice sounded from behind him, clear and clean, with a bit of usual impatience: “What’s missing, can’t I just help you cover it?”
