Ch 4 - What It's Like To Have A Jealous Lover

Chapter 4 - I'm not the jealous one

Recalling what happened when they first met, Xie Zhinan couldn’t help but laugh. He lightly touched the tip of He Jihuai’s nose. He joked, “This young lady wants to interview about the experience of having a jealous lover. Mr. Xiao He, would you like to express your thoughts?”

T/N: Xiao He is XZ’s endearment for HJ since ‘xiao’ means little, so it’s like calling HJ Little He.

 

He Jihuai raised his eyebrows when he heard those words, and his fair face blushed slightly: “What thoughts? I’m not the jealous one.”

His last sentence was said quietly and turned into a murmur. Xie Zhinan didn’t hear it clearly and repeated: “What?”

He Jihuai puffed up his cheeks and snorted before saying: “How should I know? I’m not the one with a jealous lover; I am the jealous lover. Xie Zhinan, just tell me, do you dislike that I’m too possessive? Do you dislike that I’m too controlling? Is your love gone?”

Xie Zhinan smiled: “How can I dislike you….”

Before he finished talking, He Jihuai hugged his arm and said unreasonably: “I don’t care. I’m angry. You need to coax me. “

No explanation mattered at this time. Xie Zhinan leaned closer to He Juhuai and said: “I’ll coax. Wait till we finish watching the movie. I’ll take you to a dark and stormy place and coax you well, okay?” Saying the last part, Xie Zhinan lowered his voice, and an affectionate smile could be heard from his voice, making He Jihuai’s ears red. 

The young lady at the side stared blankly at their sweet interaction and couldn’t help but smile. But by this time, the two people had already stopped their conversation and were both looking at her.

She subconsciously said: “Go on, continue. Don’t mind me, hehe.” After her voice fell, the young lady reflected on what she just said and immediately continued: “Ha ha, just kidding.”

Xie Zhinan paused and squeezed He Jihuai’s hands. He considered the young lady’s interview and answered: “In fact, when we first got together, Mr. Xiaohe would still control himself. “

After learning the truth, ‘Not Heading North’ has been silent for two days. 

During the day, Xie Zhinan never saw He Jihuai again. He thought that this embarrassing matter would end after the truth came to light. He didn’t expect that after the third day, He Jihuai was already too lazy to hide. He returned to the way he used to sit next to him and give him breakfast from time to time. If Xie Zhinan didn’t bring an umbrella during evening self-studies in the classroom, he would see He Jihuai standing on the corner waiting for him to come out with an umbrella in one hand and his phone on the other. 

At first, Xie Zhinan was not used to it. So when he held those steaming breakfast, he’d debate whether to return them or not. 

The most outrageous thing was when He Jihuai would sit on the balcony with a guitar and sing a love song to Xie Zhinan—making Xie Zhinan, who lived on the opposite balcony, silent. He didn’t know what response to give. 

When He Jihuai sang, his lyrics implied him. However, to the onlookers, it was just the little prince of the music department showcasing his talent and so sang along with him. 

Things began to develop in a magical direction. Xie Zhinan couldn’t help asking himself, does he really not have a younger sister? 

He Jihuai didn’t know Xie Zhinan’s entanglement and worked tirelessly every day. 

Later, Fan Wenji’s words awakened a person in his dreams. He spiritedly asked: “Lao Xie, Is this little prince from the music department chasing you?”

“?” A question mark slowly appeared on Xie Zhinan’s head, who had just encountered this kind of thing for the first time: “He’s a guy.”

Fan Wenji snorted and winked at Xie Zhinan: “Lao Xie, you’re wrong. It is already an open era.” 

Xie Zhinan: “....”

Xie Zhinan didn’t know what to reply and gently pushed Fan Wenji out of the dormitory door. 

But Fan Wenji’s words remained in Xie Zhinan’s mind. He recalled He Jihuai’s actions and found that it was indeed the most reasonable speculation. Otherwise, why was He Jihuai so good and passionate to him?

At that moment, Xie Zhinan found it absurd and felt a little complicated. 

He Jihuai, the little prince of the music department, is good-looking, can sing and dance, and knows how to play many musical instruments. Why would such a person like him?

Thinking about it, he felt that it was outrageous. 

Xie Zhinan didn’t know how to handle his relationship with He Jihuai and simply gently refused He Jihua’s affection. 

For example, when He Jihuai came to accompany him in class, Xie Zhinan would deliberately sit far away. When He Jihuai comes and brings him breakfast, he would return it to He Jihuai and say that he already had breakfast. Thanks to He Jihuai, Xie Zhinan, who hated eating breakfast on time, developed a habit of eating breakfast early and carrying an umbrella with him. 

He Jihuai probably noticed his vague rejection and slowly fell silent. 

It’s just that every time he goes to class, he can still see him. He watched him wanting to approach but not daring to. At first, Xie Zhinan could still be indifferent. However, after watching it a few more times, he found that he would feel inexplicably soft-hearted when He Jihuai looked at him with those aggrieved eyes.
