My Underachieving Seatmate Doesn't Need Any Comforting

Chapter 78

Because both of them had spoken at the same time, neither of them understood what the other said.

He Shen only heard the words ‘I’m sorry’, and then ... ‘like’?

Qiao Shao likes him?

How is this possible?

Qiao Shao was even worse. He heard the worst four words in the second half of the sentence—I won’t like you.

Although he had told himself a long time ago, actually hearing it made Qiao Shao’s breathing seize.

What was he doing? Didn’t he already decide that I wouldn’t disturb his life? Why did he rashly rush over here?

Because He Shen had said that he was a good person he met?

So what if he was a good person?

He wasn’t that kind of good.

Qiao Shao’s head was filled with a buzzing noise. He couldn’t stand to stay here for even a second longer and he turned around to leave.

He Shen grabbed his wrist.

Qiao Shao couldn’t move his legs. He has never been so embarrassed in his entire life.

“When...” Qiao Shao’s throat had gone dry. “school starts, I’ll ask for a seat change. I won’t bother you ...”

He Shen’s hands tightened unconsciously. His voice low, as though he was talking in his sleep. “What did you just say?”

Qiao Shao: “...”

He Shen asked him in disbelief. “Did you say you like me?”

Qiao Shao’s face turned thoroughly red. He felt uncomfortable and embarrassed. He felt that he must have been crazy to run heedlessly here.

“Rest assured, I won’t bother you.” Qiao Shao said haltingly.

He Shen’s thin lips moved, but he could not make a sound.

Qiao Shao tried to break out of his hold, but couldn’t muster any strength. He whispered, “He Shen, let go.”

What else did he want?

He confessed and he was refused. What was he doing not letting him leave!

After a long time, He Shen managed to squeeze out a single word. “No.”

All of Qiao Shao’s pent up disappointment and embarrassment welled up into his chest. He said angrily, “Do you really have no sense of self-awareness! So what if I’m a guy? You were being so nice to me. Did it never occur to you that I might like you?”

The more he talked, the angrier he got. He found that he couldn’t think as calmly as he did before.

He’d failed in love. Why shouldn’t he be heart-broken?

He’d been rejected. Why shouldn’t he feel sad?

Qiao Shao said unwillingly, “Since it’s so hard to believe then don’t treat me so well in the fu &#k2026;”

He hadn’t finished speaking when he was forcefully pulled at.

With a bang, the security door was closed. The only things Qiao Shao noticed were the hard iron door against his back, followed by He Shen leaning in close and finally his warm lips.

It was like a loud bang had gone off in his head. Qiao Shao’s mind went blank.

He Shen kissed him.

It was a very, very shallow kiss; the merest brush of lips, young and inexperienced but —- From the point where they touched, their blood was suffused with an unimaginably scalding and blazing heat.

He Shen enveloped him into his arms. He embraced him so tight it was as if he was trying to embed him in his bones. “I thought you hated me.”

His voice was very hoarse, as if that kiss had burned his throat.

Qiao Shao was stunned.

He Shen closed his eyes, trying his best to keep his heart from jumping out of his chest. He continued, “I thought you hated me for liking you. I thought you were tired of me. I thought you were here to tell me to stop liking you. ”

He understood every word and every sentence he said but when taken together, it seemed to be covered in a layer of haze, so that he couldn’t see through to its actual meaning.

Until He Shen said to him in a breathless tone of voice, “I like you, Qiao Shao ... I’ve liked you for a long time.”

Qiao Shao’s heart jumped violently, but his body lost all his strength, as if all his strength had been used to feed this rapidly beating heart.

“I didn’t expect you to like me ...” He Shen remembered what Qiao Shao said, and his scalp went numb.

At last, Qiao Shao, came back to his senses. He asked, “Didn’t you just say that you don’t like me?”

He Shen repeated what he said. “What I said was that I will restrain myself and I won’t like you anymore.”

Now Qiao Shao heard it clearly, he heard it very clearly.

He blushed uncontrollably, even his ears were now cooked.

This ... this ... what a mess!

He Shen slightly loosened his hold on him and looked down at him. “Qiao Shao, do you really ...”

Before he could ask, he saw Qiao Shao’s extremely red cheeks and slightly trembling lips ... The feeling of their lips brushing against each other just now came unbidden to his mind, and he bowed his head without thinking ...

Qiao Shao pushed him away. He could just explode from embarrassment. “You, you ...”

He Shen hugged him again. “Don’t be afraid, if you don’t like it, I won’t kiss you anymore.”

Qiao Shao buried his face against the other’s chest. His voice came out muffled. “I don’t not like it.”

He Shen’s heart quickly gave a jump.

Thankfully, Qiao Shao didn’t need to look up, but his voice was shy to the extreme. “But, but you should let me know first...”

He Shen laughed lowly. The trembling laughter from his chest passed directly to Qiao Shao.

Qiao Shao realized what a stupid thing he said!

“I......”

He looked up at He Shen. He Shen glanced into his eyes and asked him softly, “Can I kiss you?”

Qiao Shao: “..................”

Why does it feel so much worse!

He Shen’s eyebrows were bent down, his lips were raised, and the smile that he revealed was one that no one else has ever seen.

Only Qiao Shao saw it.

Such a beautiful smile, just for him.

“Qiao Shao,” He Shen embraced him again, “you’ll be bullied like this.”

His tone tickled Qiao Shao’s ears, and he pushed him hard. “We, we haven’t made things clear yet!”

He Shen was unwilling to let go of him. “Tell me what you want to hear. I’ll tell you everything.”

Qiao Shao hated their height difference. When he hugged him, he had no choice but to be enveloped against the other’s chest. It was too shameful!

In a muffled tone of voice, he said, “Let go a little. I’m going to choke.”

He Shen loosened his a little, but still wanted to hold him.

At this moment, a rumbling stomach sounded.

He Shen looked at Qiao Shao. “Didn’t you have breakfast?”

Not just breakfast, Qiao Shao hadn’t had anything for two days.

He hadn’t been the slightest bit hungry before, but now he thought he could swallow an elephant!

Qiao Shao was rather embarrassed. “Well, I am a little hungry ...”

No, he was absolutely starving!

He Shen finally let him loose. “What do I want to eat? I’ll take you to eat.”

Qiao Shao’s heart gave a tremble. He said, “I don’t want to go out to eat.”

He Shen immediately said, “Then I’ll make something for you, but there aren’t a lot of ingredients in the house.”

Qiao Shao said, “The breakfast from last time was very good.”

He Shen stared blankly.

Qiao Shao was afraid he wouldn’t understand but he was too embarrassed to say it exactly. He said vaguely, “Ham, carrots, and fried egg are just fine ...”

If he keeps talking about it like this, he was going to find a crack in the ground to sink into!

How could He Shen not understand?

He smiled, “150 points?”

Qiao Shao awkwardly tried to play it off. “En.”

He Shen approached him suddenly, and Qiao Shao was startled, thinking that he was going to kiss him again. Unexpectedly, he closed his eyes, flustered.

He Shen’s heart melt when he saw how he was acting. But he didn’t dare kiss him, and only touched his forehead carefully. “The meat pie is a bit troublesome to make. You might be waiting for a while.”

Qiao Shao opened his eyes and scolded himself a hundred times: Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Aaaaaahhh!

He Shen went to the kitchen, and Qiao Shao felt thoroughly uneasy.

He was really hungry, and the appetite that had disappeared before returned in full force. Just the smell of fried eggs already had him drooling.

Hold on, hold on...

Qiao Shao got up to pour himself a glass of water. When he passed the full-length dressing mirror, he saw his reflection.

He was so anxious to come here that he had just dressed in whatever and ran out.

This time he could clearly see what he had worn.

Gucci’s huge logo was printed on a black short-sleeved T-shirt.

Qiao Shao was startled!

What the hell was he wearing!

Right now......

Right now, it was too late to take it off!
