030. Nice Figure

No? The answer was very unexpected, making He Jin looked in surprise at Qin Yu. He originally wanted to discuss about their respective love experiences, but unexpectedly the other guy did not have any!

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Qin Yu smiled, “You don’t believe it?”

He Jin nodded, automatically ignoring the latter half of what Qin Yu had just said: “I thought you were…”

Qin Yu interrupted: “I am what? What kind of person do you think I am?”

“You are handsome, you can play tennis, you are generous, talkative, considerate, motivated …” He Jin remembered that time when Qin Yu treated him at the lake, remembered when he accompanied him all day during his fever and even brought him back to the dorm. He thought of Qin Yu’s humble request as he asked for help in studying English grammar, and also of that night, when Qin Yu took off his own coat and gave it to He Jin just because he saw him shivering…

Although they had only known each other for a few days, the things Qin Yu did had given He Jin a feel of his personality charm. In He Jin’s heart, he meant much more than his “school idol” reputation.

At university, the students’ assessment of other people were no longer limited to mere grades and academic results, but also included things like family origin, appearance, and personality. Those were the main factors often considered in selection of male and female friends. And regarding this, Qin Yu was excellent in both inside and outside appearance. Whether in school or out of it, he was part of the most popular type; it was no wonder that girls would always be flocking around him.

Hearing He Jin saying this string of compliments about him, the corner of Qin Yu’s lips couldn’t help but lift up, “Then?”

“I think someone like you must know how to please a girl.” Unlike him, who, when they broke up, was accused by Tong Xuan as someone –boring, had no romantic cell, too stiff, old-fashioned, selfish, and oh right, a ‘weak chicken’ (=_=) …

He Jin heaved a sigh, probably in his role as her boyfriend, he really had done badly in treating her.

And although Tong Xuan had apologized to him once she calmed down, saying that she said those things only out of impulse, the sight of her crying face as she screamed out those words to him had left a big impression on He Jin. It made him do an introspection over his numb-soul, and leading him to discover, that all of it seemed to be true… He was so deeply disgusted with himself–yes, even He Jin himself disliked those parts of him.

So, when he encountered Fire in the game and learned that the other guy had waited for him since eight years ago, He Jin felt it was unbelievable. He feared they would fight if he confessed about his real gender. He did not want to be hated, after all he never meant to be treated so beautifully like this…

“Even if I know how to be pleasant to others, it doesn’t mean I’m in love with them,” said Qin Yu before continuing,” Besides, something like love, it should come from the heart, right?”

He Jin: “From the heart?”

He thought that love was when boys and girls held hands and went together to stroll around the streets, or watch a movie… That’s it.

Qin Yu continued sincerely: “Yes, when you like someone, you will involuntarily begin thinking about them, always trying to have more time with them, wanting to see them laugh, and hoping they will always be happy. I don’t think it’s the same as being pleasant, because those feelings come impulsively.”

He Jin: “…” Is that so? It does make sense.

Qin Yu looked at He Jin’s dumbfounded expression and couldn’t help but laugh more heartily: “Is what I say wrong? You, have you ever been in love?”

He Jin hesitated for a bit before nodding, which did not escape Qin Yu’s eyes. Qin Yu suddenly stopped smiling and stared at him as he confirmed, “Really have?”

“Yes,” and maybe because he was shocked by the taller guy’s sudden cold voice, He Jin subconsciously continued, “You have met her, Tong Xuan from our last lake tour. We were together when we were freshmen, but broke up in less than a year,” He Jin thought back of both their feelings at that time, and said hesitantly, “and I don’t think I have ever had those feelings you said… I thought to be in love was like a habit, if you keep acting thoughtful, romantic and so on, you will be able to cultivate it.”

Although he was feeling a bit uncomfortable initially, after hearing He Jin’s description of his “love”, Qin Yu was quite surprised as well: “Then you never did those things?”

[T/N: To avoid confusion, I’ll just say it directly. QY is talking about lewd things.]

“What kind of things?” As soon as he said these words, He Jin suddenly realized what Qin Yu meant and hurriedly waved his hands frantically,” No, No.”

Qin Yu’s expression eased: “Why so nervous, doing those things is normal between couples.”

Indeed, in this era, sexual concept among young men and women had become more and more open, and it occurred commonly in relationships based on love. However, He Jin grew up in an old-fashioned environment, and had quite a conservative character; even the mere mention of this kind of thing would make his cheeks turned as red as tomatoes.

He Jin quickly said: “Like you said, I may not have that kind of impulse.”

Qin Yu asked curiously: “Even for kissing?”

He Jin was afraid he would be given mocking looks, and avoided Qin Yu’s line of sight as he said “Ah” softly.

Qin Yu smiled: “Then aren’t you the same as a piece of white paper.”

Qin Yu’s teasing tone made He Jin feel like he was being ridiculed, so he said a little angrily: “What qualification do you have to judge me, you haven’t talked about yours either!”

Qin Yu: “…”

Qin Yu said in his heart: if that was your definition of falling in love, then it is better not to talk about it! But as he saw He Jin’s expression; that slightly raised chin of his as he relied on his own false sense of superiority coming from their one-year age gap, and that little prideful look on his face… Somehow, in Qin Yu’s view he seemed so cute!

So he did not continue to tease him, and merely smiled instead: “I think you are amazing.”

Hearing Qin Yu’s answer, He Jin’s anger immediately dissipated like an inflatable balloon; before it had the time to expand, it had already been discouraged.

After that, they continued their Grammar study, with Qin Yu no longer feeling distracted, and He Jin teaching seriously. However, their concentration was then broken by a sudden sound of music…

“My imperfect dream—you dream it with me

My imperfect courage—you say it makes it braver…

My imperfect worries—you worry about them as well

This imperfect me—you always treat me as your treasure …“

……………..

He Jin looked up and turned to look to the source of the song- Qin Yu’s smart bracelet.

Beside him, Qin Yu had already stood up and answered the phone: “Hello? Well… Yes, no, I have a few things to do today. Okay, see ya.”

He Jin stayed quiet during the phone call, and only spoke once Qin Yu had hung up the phone and turned back to him: “Someone needs something from you?”

Qin Yu: “Yes, Shang invited me to go out to eat, I declined.”

“Because of me? It’s okay, you can go, we’ll talk another day…” He Jin was feeling a bit embarrassed and quickly stood up. However, Qin Yu unexpectedly followed him to stand up, and took off his V-neck cotton shirt at the same time, saying, “No, I’ll eat with you. Wait a bit, I’ll change my clothes.”

Suddenly faced with Qin Yu’s naked upper body, He Jin couldn’t help but to take a glance at his thin waist, strong and smooth back muscles, and that slightly stretched muscles as he lifted his arms… Everything was oozing a strong and manly aura.

…… He has a nice figure.

Seeing as the taller guy was going to continue to change his trousers, He Jin hurriedly turned around, feeling awkward and nervous to the point of not even knowing where to put his own hands!
