After that, the two treated it as an experiment and did not hold hands again.
It's strange, but the two young couples, who had just confirmed their relationship less than a day ago, walked side by side on the campus of University A without making any contact with each other.
But the two didn't seem to be strangers.
Xia Zhiyi: "How are you feeling now? Has anything changed?"
While observing his surroundings, Fu Chi would occasionally glance at Xia Zhiyi, as if he were worried about getting lost from Xia Zhiyi.
Seeing his reaction, Xia Zhiyi smiled slightly as she asked the question, saying, "Don't worry, even if we were in a crowded place, I wouldn't get lost."
Fu Chi coughed lightly. "It feels a bit faded compared to a few minutes ago."
Xia Zhiyi felt that Fu Chi was probably a little embarrassed, so she didn't continue the previous topic and smoothly changed the subject, "Did it fade? It seems that we did something before that affected your eyes."
"Shall we hold hands now? Or wait a bit?"
After a pause, Xia Zhiyi asked again, "By the way, what about my clothes? Have they faded too?"
Fu Chi turned to look at him. "No."
"In my eyes, you will always be colorful."
Xia Zhiyi: "I see."
Fu Chi: "Let's wait and see how long it takes for the color to fade completely."
Xia Zhiyi: "Okay."
The two walked around the lake once, and stopped when they were about to reach the vicinity of the neighboring school.
Xia Zhiyi: "How is it?"
Fu Chi twitched his fingers and pursed his lips. "Done."
Actually, his vision hasn't completely faded, it's just... he wants to touch Xia Zhiyi.
The boy's hands were not rough; they looked slender and delicate, but only those who held them could feel that they were very strong, not at all as soft as they appeared. There was a thin layer of calluses on his fingertips and the area between his thumb and forefinger.
Hearing Fu Chi's words, Xia Zhiyi didn't think twice and naturally reached out to take his hand, "Okay, let's try."
Their hands clasped together. Fu Chi's expression was calm, his eyes slightly lowered. He naturally adjusted his fingers to intertwine with the boy's. "Mm."
After looking at each other for a moment, Xia Zhiyi asked, "How is it?"
Fu Chi slightly raised his eyes, looked at him, and softly hummed in agreement. "Very beautiful."
Xia Zhiyi: "... Don't look at me."
Fu Chi: "..."
Fu Chi slowly turned his head to look elsewhere, then after a few seconds turned his gaze back to Xia Zhiyi: "... Nothing has changed."
Well, now the world has completely faded into black, white, and gray, and Xia Zhiyi has once again become the only color in his world.
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhiyi, still intently studying the changes in Fu Chi's eyes, murmured softly, "Then it shouldn't be caused by physical contact. Did we do anything else we haven't done before today?"
Fu Chi's eyes flickered.
The man's ears turned slightly red as he recalled what had happened in the car not long ago.
Xia Zhiyi quickly realized something, and her gaze slowly fell on the man's slightly pursed thin lips.
Well, if I had to say, the most unusual thing they did today, besides that one thing, is probably nothing else that could be considered unusual, right?
Xia Zhiyi's gaze also began to wander slightly.
Fu Chi: "Want to... give it a try?"
Xia Zhiyi turned her head to look to the side and saw a young couple standing under a tree not far away, talking to each other. The girl's face was still a little red, and she gently pushed the boy who was holding her in his arms, but the force was not a rejection at all.
He looked away, coughed lightly, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Would you like to come and see my dorm?"
Today... his roommates are probably all out having fun, right?
They're probably not in the dorm.
perhaps.
Fu Chi: "Okay."
Even if Xia Zhiyi hadn't said anything, Fu Chi would have wanted to go and see.
Let's take a look at where Xia Zhiyi lives.
So the two of them, still in their current positions, held hands and slowly walked towards the dormitory area.
On the way, for some reason, neither of them spoke this time, remaining silent as if they were mute.
However, the atmosphere between the two had nothing to do with coldness. An invisible atmosphere, seemingly carrying a hint of pink bubbles, enveloped them, excluding everyone else around them.
They made their way to the dormitory building without any problems.
Even Xia Zhiyi herself didn't notice that on their way, two classmates were about to greet him when they saw him.
However, after seeing Xia Zhiyi and Fu Chi's state, the two classmates tacitly held hands and hid behind a nearby building, peeking and observing them until they entered the dormitory building.
Student A: "They... were holding hands, weren't they?"
Student B: "Oh, right."
Student A: "Is it what I think it means? Or do guys these days just hold hands and walk together like that?"
Student B: "Shouldn't the focus be on who that cold beauty next to Xia Zhiyi is?"
The two exchanged a glance.
The two of them simultaneously took out their phones.
[Class XX, Information Security Class 1 Group (Don't change the group name, you bastards!)]
[My roommate doesn't wash his socks, I'm going to die: Urgent! Urgent! Old Qin and I just saw Xia Zhiyi walking back to the dorm hand in hand with a super beautiful girl!]
[ Nobody Touch My Huabei!: It's a guy!]
[My roommate won't wash her socks, I'm going to die: They're holding hands!]
[My roommate doesn't wash her socks, I'm going to die! I can almost smell the sweet and sour scent from far away!]
[My roommate doesn't wash her socks, I'm dying: Help! Is Xia Zhiyi finally out of the single life!?]
[ Nobody Touch My Huabei: The key point is, it's a guy! Holding hands! Entering the dormitory building!]
[ Nobody Touch My Huabei: Can you guys please explain why guys these days walk hand-in-hand like this?!]
The two of them, singing in unison, immediately caused a stir in the class group chat.
Then, in their excitement, they completely forgot that Xia Zhiyi was also in the group chat.
So after a while of heated discussion, one of the parties involved quietly emerged.
[ Ordinary Person: Actually, you could just ask me directly.]
[ Ordinary Person: Let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend. I won't post a photo, but thank you for complimenting his good looks.]
[ Ordinary Person: And, I don't hold hands with other people when I walk.]
Everyone:...
The lively group chat inexplicably fell silent after Xia Zhiyi suddenly appeared.
In the dormitory, after replying to a few messages and silencing her phone, Xia Zhiyi looked back at the man who was surveying the dormitory.
It wasn't that Xia Zhiyi was deliberately trying to scare people; he had already set the class group messages to Do Not Disturb mode, but at the same time, he also set his own name to be a special contact.
Then, as those people kept mentioning his name, Xia Zhiyi's phone kept vibrating.
It's hard not to notice.
