Purple Ice Cream, Put It in My Mouth
墨書 Inktalez
I asked my Straight Male Roommate to help me buy a green popsicle. He misheard and thought I said purple.
"Put it in my mouth quickly!"
"Don't use that thing. Just eat me instead."
Gu Huai told me to come to his bed to eat, and I nodded excitedly.
"Sure, sure!"
Time for ice cream!
I waited for him to pull back the curtains and climb up.
But I found out he had stripped down completely, only wrapped in a towel.
Half an hour ago, Gu Huai had left.
I reminded him,
"Make sure to bring me a big green popsicle when you come back!"
He looked a bit unwell.
"What do you want me to bring?"
I pinched his waist.
"I'm feeling hot all over right now, you know what I mean~"
With the temperature at thirty-six degrees and the air conditioning broken, I would really die of heat in the dorm if I didn't have ice cream.
The sticky tank top clung to my sweaty skin.
When Gu Huai returned, I was practically drooling.
I rushed up to him and opened my mouth wide.
"Put it in my mouth quickly!"
Gu Huai looked as cold as ice, his tone indifferent.
"Why do you want that?"
I blinked my big eyes.
"I want to eat it!"
"Don't use that thing."
"Huh?"
He stared at me for several seconds before speaking again.
"I didn't buy any. I want to eat yours."
So he actually has some!
"Really? Where is it?"
"Just wait on my bed."
Is he going to get it for me?
"Okay!"
After saying that, I obediently rushed to his bed.
Gu Huai climbed onto the bed wrapped in a towel around his lower body.
I was shocked.
He managed to take a shower while getting me ice cream.
He was also surprised.
"Are you serious?"
I looked at him earnestly.
"What else would it be?"
His ears quickly turned red, and his voice became hoarse.
"Don't mess around... I was just joking."
Not only did he not bring me any, but he also teased me like this.
I was really angry!
I had waited on the bed for half a day!
In front of him, I wiped the drool off my mouth.
"Gu Huai, you are so stingy! You won't even let me have some!"
Gu Huai was stunned.
"Is... is this being stingy?"
"Of course! You don't know how to share at all!"
"Share... share?"
His expression was as if he had heard something explosive.
I patted my butt and got off the bed.
He grabbed my arm, looking embarrassed.
"I'm not that easygoing."
God, like gold.
I stayed quiet for two seconds, then began to roar in my heart.
Wasn't it him who just let me come up to eat?
I reluctantly got out of bed.
"Forget it, I won't eat yours."
Gu Huai wouldn't let go.
"What do you mean? Who else are you going to eat from?"
Didn't he just go out of the dorm alone?
Where would anyone else get ice cream?
Just as I was about to ask, I saw his empty hands.
"You can't possibly be without any, right?"
Is he lying to me about having ice cream?
Gu Huai was agitated.
"I'm a man! How could I possibly not have any?"
I frowned deeply.
What does this have to do with being a man?
Ignoring Gu Huai's protests,
I muttered as I left,
"If I didn't get to eat it, then it's as good as not having any."
After lying on my bed for a while, it was too hot to bear.
Tossing and turning, I ran back under Gu Huai's bed.
I tugged at his bed curtain.
"We're brothers; if you really have some, just let me have a bite."
Gu Huai remained silent.
I climbed up directly.
"Can't I just lick it a couple of times?
"I'll pay you."
Sweat from my eyebrows dripped into my eyes.
I stuck out my tongue and fanned myself with my hand.
"I'm really feeling terrible."
It's hot.
The room temperature is 38 degrees, and Gu Huai is wrapped up in the blanket like a twisted pastry.
His exposed head and ears are bright red.
His voice trembles a bit.
"I was wrong; I shouldn't have said that. Song An, please don't..."
The ice cream must be hidden in the blanket!
I suddenly reached out to grab it.
He wrapped himself tighter.
I attacked, he tightened, I attacked, he tightened...
"Do you have it or not?"
If he doesn't have it, I won't hold out any hope.
"I do."
"Then give it to me."
"I won't."
"..."
After battling with Gu Huai for what felt like eighty rounds, I still couldn't find any sign of the ice cream.
I was exhausted.
I really don't understand why Gu Huai guards his food as if it's a matter of life and death.
I gave up and returned to my own bed.
Gu Huai looked like he had just escaped from a near-death experience, his lips pale with fright.
I lay sticky on my bed, scrolling through my phone.
I came across a Study Blogger I follow.
It seems like he's in love lately; he hasn't posted any study content and instead shares some melancholic quotes every day.
"It's really hard to push away someone you like."
Why would you want to push them away?
So cryptic.
Push away, bro.
Today, I couldn't learn anything from him, so I turned off my phone.
Sleep well, and a calm heart will naturally feel cool.
The next day, the Athlete from the neighboring dorm invited me to have breakfast together.
I was about to follow him when Gu Huai stepped in between us, wanting to join me for breakfast as well.
He turned his back to the Athlete and faced me, biting his lip.
"Song An, don't eat someone else's food, okay?"
I didn't understand.
"What?"
He was slightly out of breath.
"I'm not saying you can't eat.
I'm offering it to you."
Suddenly, it dawned on me. He was talking about the ice cream from last night!
With that expression and having bitten his lip, I thought he was making some major decision. Just over sharing an ice cream!
"Alright."
I jumped onto his bed.
"Then give it to me now."
"Now?"
Gu Huai looked at me in panic, then glanced at the Athlete by the door.
"Isn't that inappropriate?"
"What's inappropriate about it? Come on, you're really lacking sincerity..."
"I am. I am sincere."
He quickly interrupted, as if afraid I'd get angry.
"Let's go eat first, okay?"
Eating ice cream on an empty stomach isn't good.
We can come back and have it after breakfast.
Recently, the school's voltage has been unstable; not only does the dorm's air conditioning often go out, but the cafeteria also hesitates to serve ice cream.
The delivery station is far from the school, and that's where the ice cream is. If Gu Huai had a mini fridge hidden in the dorm, that would be a treasure.
"Okay."
Athlete leaned in from behind.
"What delicious food are you having? Let me try some too!"
"No way!" I firmly refused.
Seeing Gu Huai's embarrassed and reluctant expression, it seemed there was only one.
"There's only one; I can't share it with you."
Gu Huai looked shocked.
He covered my mouth and pulled me away.
"Don't say anything."
"What?!" I was equally shocked.
My lips moved under his large hand.
"Could it be that you have two?"
Gu Huai's ears turned bright red.
I widened my eyes.
Could he really be feeling guilty?
"Wait, you really have two!"
He had two but was reluctant to share the ice cream with me yesterday. He was even more protective of his food than I imagined! I thought he was just unwilling to share one ice cream, which I could understand. After all, ice cream is as rare to us as water in a desert.
Given how protective he is, he probably wouldn't give me a whole one.
"Don't worry, I won't eat much," I said, rubbing my hands together.
I leaned closer to his ear and eagerly suggested, "Hehe, just let me lick each one twice~"
The plate in Gu Huai's hand almost fell to the ground in shock.
He was shaking his hand.
"Song An, you should read fewer of those novels."
"Hmm?"
"I am a normal man."
"Hmm???"
What is he talking about?
He bit his lip, his ears turning red.
"I only have one..."
It seemed he found it difficult to say the measure word that followed.
He couldn't bring himself to say "stick" for a long time.
But I understood what he meant.
He rambled on about various things.
It turned out he was just trying to say he only had one ice cream.
I felt a bit down.
That meant I wouldn't be able to have much.
I waved my hand lightly.
"Alright, alright, anyway, I won't eat much of yours."
Seeing my disappointment, he suddenly grabbed my arm.
His lips were trembling.
"Even though I only have one... but actually, you can eat however you want."
"Okay."
I stretched out my thumb and index finger to indicate a very long length.
"I'll eat this much."
Seeing him freeze in place, I smiled again.
"Just kidding."
To get the ice cream into my mouth as soon as possible, I ate breakfast quickly.
But Gu Huai was dawdling.
I urged him on.
"Eat quickly, eat quickly. After we finish, we'll go back to the dorm and eat something else."
He ate even slower.
"You, are you going to eat soon?"
I replied without thinking.
"Yeah."
Was he hesitating?
Did he regret it?
Did he want to eat by himself?
"Song An, you said yesterday that you wanted to share. I've thought about it a lot."
Looking at his dark circles, it didn't seem like he was lying.
Did he really think about sharing the ice cream all night?
"I can share with you, and I'm very willing to share with you."
That's great.
I'm glad he figured it out!
"But..."
Don't say it! Don't say it! Don't say it!
"But not right now."
Damn.
I was afraid he would say that.
I'm not Li Jie.
"Why?"
Gu Huai bit his lip.
"We... we can take our time."
I was stunned.
His little fridge can slowly cool and keep warm as the ice cream melts.
I can't stand the heat either!
Eating ice cream isn't like dissecting a little hamster!
What's there to hesitate about!
I felt a bit anxious.
"What's there to take slowly?"
He comforted me.
"Don't be angry, I just thought that we could wait until we get to know each other a bit better."
I was stunned.
Getting to know each other better while eating ice cream?
He continued,
"Don't you think it's a bit too fast for us to jump into this?"
My brain crashed.
Is there a speed limit on eating ice cream?
Suddenly, I felt like I was getting a little too close to the ice cream.
He went on,
"We can start by getting closer."
I understood.
For some people, sharing an ice cream cone might indeed be hard to accept right away.
He must have found it strange since he had never shared one with anyone else before.
So what should we start with to get closer?
I glanced at the fried dough stick in his mouth.
He was holding the end of the dough stick, and most of it was hanging in the air.
I opened my mouth and took a bite from the other end.
Gu Huai's eyes widened as he held the other end of the dough stick.
I leaned forward and took another bite.
"How about we get closer like this?"
If he got a bit more intimate with me, he should be able to accept sharing an ice cream cone.
Seeing that he didn't respond,
I leaned in for another bite, then another…
"Are we close enough now?
"What about now?
"How about this?
"Is this close enough?
"Can we do it now?"
As I watched the dough stick getting shorter and shorter.
Surrounded by girls gasping, someone exclaimed, "Oh my God, they kissed!"
I bit into my fried dough stick and turned to look. What nonsense! "We're just having a meal! Haven't you ever seen roommates eat together?"
Turning back, I noticed that Gu Huai's ears were practically bleeding from embarrassment. I was eager to speak up. "Now we're close enough, right? Can we go back to eating?"
"…No…"
"Not yet?" I jumped up in frustration. "I'm about to melt from the heat! You said you'd get me something to eat, and now you're acting like this. What do you mean?" I pointed at his flushed ears. "Look at you! You clearly want it too; stop pretending to be reserved. Your ears are so red; you must be burning up!"
I couldn't believe he didn't want ice cream right now!
"Gu Huai? I've been looking for you today."
I turned around to see an old professor from our major unexpectedly running into us. He started chatting with Gu Huai. After greeting the professor, I felt a bit resentful. He promised me something. I even paid for his breakfast. No matter what, he had to share a little bit of that ice cream with me. It was just hidden in the dormitory!
"You go ahead and talk to the professor; I'll head back to the dorm and find it myself!" With that, I ran off. Gu Huai tried to get up but was stopped by the professor. However, there was no small fridge in the dormitory at all. It turned out he never had any ice cream from the beginning.
What have you been doing since last night? Are you messing with me? I'm really angry!
At that moment, Gu Huai burst through the door, drenched in sweat. He turned and pinned me against the wall, my hands held together above my head and pressed against the door.
What is he doing? Is he crazy?
Gu Huai's tone was anxious and urgent. "Don't look for anyone else, okay?"
"But looking for you won't help either!" Because you don't even have any ice cream!
Stop lying to me! I'm not that easy to fool anymore! I won't be tricked again!
"I really have some for you," he panted.
"You’re right, I want it too." Ha, what a joke.
"You say all this, so why don't you just show me?" I mocked him, certain he couldn't produce any ice cream.
He looked at me and swallowed hard. "Open your mouth."
Does he really have it? I was taken aback for a moment and opened my mouth in confusion. Trust him one more time.
"Ah—"
In the next second, Gu Huai sealed my lips with his own, kissing me while unbuttoning my pants and pushing me toward the bed.
