Ch. 162
They said they were going back, but Chen Yao found himself at a loss looking at Lin Nan crouched in the corner.
Should he wake him up? Lin Nan already had serious mood issues, and having just fallen asleep under the influence of both morning grumpiness and alcohol, there was no telling what strange things he might do.
Or should he just pick Lin Nan up and carry him?
Chen Yao glanced hesitantly at his two roommates behind him who were packing up the remaining beer and snacks.
The dorm atmosphere was already pretty gay anyway, so they probably wouldn't have any objections.
He shook Lin Nan's shoulder again, but Lin Nan rudely slapped his arm away in his sleep, then shifted his butt and leaned directly against the wall.
Then the steady light snoring resumed. He really seemed exhausted.
Lin Nan's movement revealed his still-flushed cheeks. His mouth seemed to be mumbling something, his eyes tightly closed with a slight frown, clearly not sleeping very comfortably.
Chen Yao had seen plenty of drunk people, but whether male or female, none had been as cute as Lin Nan when drunk.
"Still can't wake him?" Despite being too drunk to walk straight, Xiong Da still maintained his usual cold, unapproachable expression. He looked down at Lin Nan with some concern and asked, "How do we get him back? Carry him on our backs?"
"Just hold him. Lin Nan doesn't look heavy anyway." Tu Junhui walked over carrying a large bag full of alcohol, still being his usual sharp-tongued self. "Chen Yao, if you're going to hold him, don't get handsy. Nan Nan belongs to all of us."
Chen Yao glared at him: "You probably have rocks in your head."
"Hurry up, let's go back to the dorm to shower and sleep." Tu Junhui stood there but suddenly swayed and leaned against the wall, clearly quite drunk himself.
With this idea already in mind, Chen Yao naturally didn't hesitate to crouch down at their urging.
He supported Lin Nan's neck with his left hand, wrapped his other arm around Lin Nan's legs, then with one effort, princess-carried Lin Nan in his arms again.
Having experience from last time, Chen Yao this time supported Lin Nan's shoulder rather than wrapping around his armpit.
So light.
Last time on the athletic field, he'd been constantly worried about whether Lin Nan was actually injured, so he hadn't really experienced it, but this time, as soon as he picked him up, he realized Lin Nan's body seemed much lighter than he'd imagined.
That made sense. After all, Lin Nan was only about 160 centimeters tall, at most 165, and with barely any muscle on him, he probably weighed around 100 jin at most. (TN: 1 jin=0.5 kg)
Plus the princess carry position made it easy to apply force properly. He even felt that holding Lin Nan was easier than lifting a 40-50 jin bag of rice.
"Alright." He felt a bit awkward. Carrying a male roommate in this position, under the gaze of his other two roommates no less, even he hadn't cultivated such thick skin.
"Let's go then."
The other two didn't react much. Chen Yao figured he might be the only pervert in the entire dorm who lusted after his friend's body, while Tu Junhui and the others had never thought in that direction.
Or maybe they were just better at hiding it?
Lin Nan's body was very soft. Getting close, a faint milky fragrance hit him, making Chen Yao's body uncontrollably start to get excited.
While walking, he tried as much as possible not to let Lin Nan sway, to avoid waking him up.
They'd just walked from the KTV onto the main street when Xiong Da called a ride-share and they waited by the roadside. Chen Yao noticed Lin Nan seemed to be showing signs of waking up.
"Mm~" Lin Nan made meaningless mumbling sounds, trying to turn over, not realizing he was currently in Chen Yao's arms.
This movement nearly scared Chen Yao into dropping him entirely.
However, Lin Nan didn't move much more, just buried his face in Chen Yao's chest and grabbed onto his collar with one hand.
This position created an enormous burden for Chen Yao, not just because his arms couldn't find leverage, but more importantly because his body was going weak.
This guy, not peaceful at all!
Chen Yao tried his best to push away the strange thoughts in his mind, but couldn't help looking down at Lin Nan's delicate profile.
He didn't know when it had started, but his hair could now cover his ears. The hair that had been trimmed last month was messy again, but it was increasingly full of feminine charm.
There was still nearly a month before Lin Nan could leave the dorm.
Chen Yao warily glanced at Xiong Da and Tu Junhui supporting each other in front of him. He didn't believe he was the only one lusting after Lin Nan's body. Tu Junhui was usually the most enthusiastic one, full of dirty thoughts, so there was no way he wasn't tempted!
If not for moral and ethical constraints, Lin Nan in the male dorm would probably...
Good thing this wasn't India. (TN: The shade is unreal.)
"The car's here."
"Mm."
Chen Yao thought he might be overthinking it. After all, his roommates still considered Lin Nan just a boy with a bewitching appearance.
Somewhat awkwardly carrying Lin Nan into the car, he let Lin Nan sit on his lap with one arm supporting his head, finally breathing a sigh of relief. He turned to look at Xiong Da sitting beside him.
Xiong Da didn't seem to pay him much attention. Having drunk quite a bit, he was looking down, leaning against the car seat with his eyes closed, planning to rest for a moment.
The ride-share's back seat wasn't large. Normally sitting in it felt spacious enough, but with Lin Nan in his arms, Chen Yao could only feel cramped... but admittedly, also somewhat romantic.
Hopefully, Lin Nan won't wake up.
He didn't have much mind to think about strange manga scenarios, just worrying that the scene would be extremely awkward if Lin Nan suddenly woke up.
However, Lin Nan had actually woken up the moment he was picked up.
He kept his eyes tightly closed, seeming to make abnormal movements in his sleep. He pretended to be dreaming, mumbling a few restless words, then didn't dare move around randomly. To hide his facial expression, he could only bury his head tightly in Chen Yao's chest.
This scent...
He once again smelled that strange, elegant scent on Chen Yao's body.
This scent was different from the cigarette and alcohol odors they'd picked up. It couldn't be called pleasant, but it made his head foggy. His cheeks, which had returned to normal color after resting briefly, once again turned crimson.
After being carried into the car, he was practically sitting on Chen Yao's lap.
At first he didn't think anything was wrong, his body gently swaying with the ride-share's movement, trying to pretend he was really asleep.
But...
Something strange is poking me!
Damn it, I treat you as a friend and you're lusting after my body!
He couldn't keep up the act anymore, but still had to continue pretending, because he really didn't know how to face Chen Yao in this situation.
Earlier he'd already confessed and kissed his forehead to unlock the mission, and now being poked in the hip, intense shame was frantically stimulating his brain. But his mind didn't find this sensation inappropriate at all, even happily secreting large amounts of dopamine, making his emotions increasingly excited and pleased in this situation.
Am I being infected by Lilith and becoming a pervert?!
