【Xun Si】How Could You Possibly?

The two were tossed dizzily by the raging lust in the next series of actions, and soon fell asleep afterwards.It seemed that even the pitch-black night was hot. While suppressing their gasps, they felt obsessed with everything that this reckless attempt brought to them—all vague memories.They didn't make it to the end, they just... caressed each other and culminated together.After the orgasm, both of them were drowsy and fell into a deep sleep before they had time to clean up.So the morning that followed had nothing to do with leisure time at all, just shy stammers and hasty showers.The two boys who had always lived alone lacked self-awareness, and the clothes they took off were scattered all over the place, and some of them were mixed together and it was difficult to distinguish them.

While not looking forward to going back to school, they find that going back to a familiar place after all that has happened and pretending that things are business as usual doesn't seem as easy as it should be - especially Shinji.On Monday morning, Kaoru behaved very naturally, composing music as usual, and greeted the acquaintances he met with a relaxed smile.The classes are still those classes, the people are still the same people, and the greetings in the hallway classrooms are nothing more than normal—he can handle it with ease.And of course, the other side behaved in the exact opposite way.The thought that others might guess what was going on made him fidget. "Why did you come to school with Kaoru? It's abnormal. Or... what happened between the two of you—? Huh? It's so easy to guess."

Shinji can be sure that if any rumors are spread, it will be his inadvertent mistake.Accidentally slipped it, maybe it was when discussing homework in class—to prevent any possibility, he didn't even want to admit to spending the night at Kaoru's apartment.In a way, that also means covering things up.

Kaoru had no sense of secrecy at all, Shinji guessed after careful observation, maybe he didn't realize that casual exposure is not a good idea at all. "Why keep it a secret? What bad things did we do again?" The black-haired boy could almost imagine the other party asking, and then tilted his head innocently to one side.Shinji's escape was just out of shyness, but he didn't know how to face it.He had no choice but to completely ignore the question, and at the same time hoped that Yu Xun would really heed his warning and keep his mouth shut.No one can—should—know.That's right, that's it - their private affairs have nothing to do with others, and it's justifiable to keep a secret, Shinji tried hard to convince himself.

Out of etiquette, he has always taken his clothes to the dry cleaner downstairs of the apartment to have them washed, so the bloody incident of wearing the wrong clothes did not happen.If he went to school in Kaoru's uniform, it would be impossible to argue.

This morning, as soon as Shinji took his seat and took off one of the earplugs, he saw Asuka pouted, her eyebrows tightly knit together, her face full of pain, and she seemed to have said something to him before.

"Ok?"

"Did you finish your reading...?" Asuka repeated, she was supposed to be saying—wait, what?

"No?" Shinji replied, tensed at the fact that he had no idea what the homework she was talking about was, "What homework?"

"Oh—yes, you didn't come on Friday..." She turned around, muttering how she forgot—maybe she wanted to borrow homework to copy. "Skipping class or something, huh?"

"I was—ill that day." Not a lie.Kaoru told him the same way, after a few days of good sleep, he was indeed much more energetic, although he hadn't really worried about his sleeping condition before.He is quite sober now. "Li may be ready, I don't know... Do you want it today?"

"Maybe. It shouldn't be due in this class." Hearing another girl's name, Asuka frowned and frowned almost reflexively. This familiar little gesture was only noticed by Shinji. "So how's it going with you and Kaoru?" The corner of her mouth curled up, and a Cheshire cat smile suddenly appeared, as if she had had enough of talking about her all the time, and now she was finally about to start the routine. "You spent the night at his house, didn't you?"

Before Shinji could speak, his face turned red—there was no way to quibble, I knew it would be—

"Why—? How do you know?" he asked almost timidly, pretending to study, carefully hiding his head behind the upright textbooks.This pretentious book that was brought along at hand finally came in handy, but it was not a teaching tool, but a shield. "I stayed there for a few days and Misato agreed."

"Who?"

"Ms. Katsuragi." Shinji corrected himself, he was a little distracted by the sudden alertness before, "The counselor? I don't feel well, she is worried about leaving me alone, so..."

"You don't have some kind of infectious disease, do you? How is Kaoru all right?"

"It's not flu or anything, I'm just—"

"I don't think you're sick at all," Asuka's smile became more mocking, "it's all an excuse."

This powerful sentence was like a sharp sword in Shinji's eyes—lack of sleep is not a disease, and I am not sick—it exuded bursts of cold light, and its power was greater than anyone expected.It's like accusing him of lying.Kaoru said he was sick, but he never really admitted it, and now Asuka has severely exposed it.

"What excuse—?!"

"It's an excuse to be close to Kaoru, dare you say it's not?"

"never--"

"Stop making excuses."

"Listen, I'm sick, I can't stay at home alone..." He gritted his teeth, as if he was particularly interested in a non-biological diagram in the book, "Stop talking."

Asuka snorted.

"Okay," she said sarcastically.

"Then what do you want me to say?"

The red-haired girl stopped answering, even though it was her fault for asking this question in the first place, now her back looks very stern.

This woman is unreasonable, Shinji thought, but he never dared to say it out loud.He just turned up the volume of the music, drowning out all the sounds of the outside world along with his own thoughts.

They radiated an air of intimacy throughout the class, and it became even more tense when others joined them after class.More questions ensued, but with an inexplicably roundabout feel.But after Kaoru's class overlapped with theirs, everything piled up was like a flash flood, out of control.

Kaoru did not hesitate to show his special affection for him, but Shinji was extremely awkward, for fear of being discovered by others.

He shook off the love that was overwhelming him, and gave the other boy a wink, hoping he would understand him.Well, he's not sure.Kaoru is not good at reading body language, nor is expression - he can't detect any small clues like this.It is also impossible for Shinji to pass a note to him directly, saying please, don't look at me and smile like that, it feels so strange-the first possibility of doing this is that the note cannot cross the boundary river at all, and will be blocked by a group of bad friends Next—the second possibility, Kaoru will show an obvious confused expression, and then be heartbroken by his words.

So Shinji tried his best to avoid all of Kaoru's loving actions, affectionate stares, soft sighs, gentle smiles.And when Kaoru attached his palm to his, and his hand was resting on his thigh, uh- he didn't so much pull his hand out as he jumped out of the seat Three feet away, the eyes of the whole class were attracted.

He could only shake his head in frustration, biting his lip tightly.

After being rejected, Kaoru didn't try again, Shinji felt a little disappointed, and then the other party made another move.This time in another class, they were grouped together and sat around a table.There was supposed to be a team mission to complete, but instead everyone was lost in childish conversation.Asuka changed her hairpins to a different color, Rei never lied when she was late, and so on.Shinji has been immersed in his own world for a long time, and completely gave up grasping the direction of the topic, just drifting with the flow, occasionally inserting a sentence or two when he hears the keywords he is familiar with.

At this time, Kaoru stretched out his hand to Shinji, and intertwined his fingers quietly.He was perched so softly between his fingers that Shinji didn't realize it for a moment.Kaoru still smiled unconsciously, arguing with Asuka on inexplicable topics——

He realized this when he accidentally moved his hand and squeezed the opponent's hand even tighter.There was a warm feeling between the tightly pressed fingers, almost a taste of eternity.He suddenly became alert, looked up at Kaoru, and was on high alert.

"I said no—" He immediately pulled his hand back, seeing Kaoru sighing into the empty palm, he was overwhelmed by guilt again. "I mean, not right now—you can't do that," he whispered into his ear, thankful that Asuka and Toji's squabbling was just going to be hot.He shook his head, hoping the other boy must understand. "You can't do it in front of so many people, okay?"

Even though it was just a brief touch, Shinji felt sparks fly from their joined fingers, burning unstoppably all the way to his shoulders.He, too, was happy, but still nervous and very resistant to showing affection in public.Especially since no one knew that they had spent a weekend together at Kaoru's apartment and had done a lot more than they claimed.

"Why not?" The expected answer, Kaoru frowned slightly.confuse. "You like me, you said you wanted to have sex with me—"

Under tension, Shinji covered Kaoru's mouth with his palm without hesitation.It was really stupid to do this, the whole table suddenly became silent, and everyone turned their heads to look at them.

"Why are you covering his mouth?" Li blinked and asked softly.

"That's right—" Jianjie smirked, "What do you want to say, handsome guy? Forget it, give him a chance!"

"Wh-nothing," Shinji quickly withdrew his hands covering Kaoru's mouth and folded them in front of his chest, showing a vigilant posture. "He has nothing to say."

The others, of course, snickered.They've put in a lot of effort today to unearth the secret Shinji has been trying so hard to keep hidden.They knew he must be hiding something from them, and it was only a matter of time before he found out.

"Brother, Xun, what did you want to say just now?" Jianjie turned on the gossip mode again, "I mean, Ikari's face is completely red——"

"It's really nothing." The slender boy tilted his head slightly, showing a very convincing smile.Shinji tried to hide his relief. "I said something nasty, sorry."

"You? Nasty?" Dongzhi's eyes widened in surprise, he pushed Jiansuke aside with his arm, and said, "How is that possible."

Shinji can only accompany him.He laughs nervously. "I'm just, uh, surprised. It's kind of weird."

"You are as innocent as an angel, you are a liar."

"Unfortunately, it has been defiled by you." Kaoru smiled, and his words were full of lies that only Shinji knew.Kaoru always accommodated him, obviously he didn't have to worry about the existence of this group of people in front of him at all.

Laughs, banter, and banter about how perfect Kaoru is against the "bad stuff" around him - except for Rei.They have many similarities, all of which cannot be denied.Soon, a debate begins about who is more like an angel, Rei or Kaoru - what are the factors that can compare the two, who will be better - and so on.What's interesting is that Kaoru and Li stayed out of the matter completely, listening to the noise of the crowd, and just smiled from time to time.

Shinji mouthed "Thank you", reminding himself that he must thank him formally later, because Kaoru understood him.When he also noticed that Li and Xun did have a lot in common, the heat on his face gradually faded.However, Kaoru is his angel.

Even now, he was too shy to admit it.
