Quick Travel: Destiny for Thirty Lifetimes

Lian Qingyang turned his head and met Jing Chen's gaze.

Lian's mother's voice rang out in the somewhat quiet dormitory: "Qingqing is still too thin. She needs to eat more. What's wrong, Qingqing?"

Lian Qingyang came back to his senses and sat down, saying in a low voice: "My roommate is back."

Jing Chen didn't say anything. He put the book on his desk, found his clothes and went into the bathroom.

Lian's mother could only see a tall, thin figure from behind. She leaned closer to the screen and whispered, "Is that Qingqing's deskmate? He's so tall, maybe even taller than you."

There was a sound of water in the bathroom. Lian Qingyang looked over there and then turned back.

"It's been half a month, and mom still hasn't seen what he looks like. Can you let me see him later? Turn sideways and I'll take a peek." Lian's mother was really curious and discussed with Lian Qingyang in a low voice.

Lian Qingyang was amused by her cautious look, so he chatted with her while waiting for Jing Chen to come out.

After Jing Chen came out, he saw Lian Qingyang waving at him. He walked over confused and noticed that the woman on the phone was looking at him, gentle and kind.

He was stunned for a moment, then he stood up straight unconsciously and said awkwardly, "Hello, Auntie."

Lian's mother shifted her scrutinizing gaze to his face and said with a smile, "Hello, are you Qingqing's deskmate? Qingqing often mentions you."

Jing Chen was a little surprised. He glanced at the embarrassed Lian Qingyang, coughed lightly, and introduced himself: "My name is Jing Chen, Jing as in scenery, Chen as in Chenzhou. Auntie, just call me Xiao Jing."

"Okay, thank you for taking care of Qingqing at school. I heard from him that you often explain his exercises to him. If he does anything wrong, I'd like to apologize to you first. Qingqing is not a bad person by nature, but he is sometimes too lively." A gentle voice came from the phone.

Jing Chen's eyes flashed with envy, and he shook his head slightly and said, "Qingyang has a very good personality. I also... like making friends with him. He is very smart and listens to the class seriously."

……

Jing Chen waved: "Goodbye, Auntie."

Lian's mother also waved: "Goodbye, Xiaojing, have a good rest. Qingqing, you should have a good rest too. Mom will hang up first!"

Lian Qingyang sat sideways, holding his cell phone in one hand and raising the other hand to wave to Lian's mother.

After hanging up the phone, Lian Qingyang sat up straight and chuckled, "I didn't expect you and my mom to get along so well. Look, she even sent me a message, asking me to take you to my house for dinner next time I'm on vacation."

Jing Chen took a few steps forward, staring at the back of the person in front of him, and stammered a few words: "Are you still angry with me?"

Lian Qingyang turned his chair 180 degrees, a puzzled look on his face: "I'm not angry? Why are you asking?"

"You haven't paid much attention to me these past few days. I thought it was because I made you angry that night." Jing Chen lowered his head, his hand unconsciously rubbing the crotch of his pants.

Lian Qingyang chuckled, resting his elbow on the armrest of the chair to support his head, his voice full of laughter: "Jing Xueba hasn't been thinking about this these days, has he? Actually, it's my fault. I shouldn't have asked that question and made you angry in the first place. I'm really sorry. I didn't dare say much to you these days because I was afraid of annoying you."

Jing Chen suddenly raised his head and shook it, saying in surprise, "I'm not angry. Why would I be angry with you? My tone wasn't very good at the time. I'm sorry." Then his eyes wandered a little, and he continued hesitantly, "Because... at the time, I couldn't hold it back."

"Hmm?" Lian Qingyang's gaze slowly shifted downwards, his expression filled with an indescribable complexity. "Is that so...was the question I asked at that time very explicit? I remember I was wearing clothes..."

Jing Chen was startled, his eyes panicked, and he covered his lower abdomen with both hands, with a look of shame and anger on his face: "What are you talking about? This is not what I said!"

His emotions fluctuated so much that tears welled up in his eyes again, just like the expression he had that night under the night light.

Lian Qingyang found it more and more amusing the more he watched. Regardless of the fact that he was about to collapse, he excitedly said, "Do you like me? What's it like to like a boy?" He even stood up and took a few steps closer to him, lying with his eyes open, "I've never been in a relationship with a boy before. If it were you, I wouldn't be against it."

Jing Chen's face was expressionless again, his face was getting darker and darker, and he lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"By the way, have you ever seen the little beeps between boys?" Lian Qingyang heard the telegram sound in his head and paused: What the hell?

Xiaojiu covered his ears with his paws and whispered, "Recently, the leaders of the Quick Wear Bureau brought people from the Judicial Inspection Department to inspect our work. They're paying special attention to us. You should be more careful with your words. What if the leaders see you?"

Lian Qingyang rolled his eyes secretly: "I didn't mention bleep-ah! Don't you think the little bleep-bleep is even weirder? What kind of blocking rules are you talking about? Can't I even say bleep-bleep? Can't I even say , and Wu Ang-Si'e? Speechless. Oh, by the way, isn't there a department that focuses on coughing?

Xiaojiu remained silent for a moment before speaking: "I went to ask the guys over there. Their department got the news in advance, so they went to Jinyun Island for a team-building trip with pay."

Lian Qingyang asked again: How long will their inspection take?

"Well...according to this world's time, it's been about a week. It's okay, host, just speak normally. It's mainly because what you said contradicts your current relationship, so that's why it's like this." After a pause, Xiao Jiu said awkwardly, "By the way, you can't tell me either. Technically, I'm still a baby."

Lian Qingyang could only sigh softly, his original enthusiasm turning into boredom.

Jing Chen didn't hear what was said next, and couldn't help but look up at the person who was half a step away from him. He saw that the person suddenly became indifferent.

He pursed his lips and took a small step forward. In an instant, they were very close. Lian Qingyang looked up blankly. Their eyes met, and the scent of shower gel lingered on the tip of his nose. Jing Chen's eyes were deep and bright, as if hiding endless thoughts.

He took a deep breath and whispered, "Don't say that again in the future..." He turned his face away, his voice so low that only he could hear it, "Otherwise, I really can't help it."

After saying that, he silently returned to his bed, leaving Liu Qingyang with a bewildered look on his face.

*

The next morning, Lian Qingyang was awakened by Ma Sixue knocking on the door. He looked down and found that Jing Chen's bed was empty and no one was in the dormitory.

He was startled and lost all sleepiness. He quickly took out his cell phone from under the pillow and saw that it was only six o'clock. In the past, Jing Chen would be in the dormitory at this time.

Then he saw a message on his phone. It was sent by Jing Chen. Lian Qingyang clicked on it to check, saying, "I thought Jing Chen wouldn't play with his phone at night."

02:32

Jing: You said you haven’t dated boys, do you mean you have dated girls?

Jing: I don’t mean anything else, I’m just asking casually.

02:40

Jing: If you can’t withdraw it, just pretend you didn’t see it.

When Lian Qingyang saw the time when he received the message, his mind flashed back to Jing Chen tossing and turning in bed last night and unable to sleep. He wanted to ask him about it, but after sending the message, he felt it was inappropriate. He wanted to withdraw the message, but found that he couldn't. His expression was full of regret. His mood, which had been bad because of getting up early, suddenly became cheerful, and he jumped out of bed to wash up.
