Jian Ci shot him a glare before turning back to Yu Xi, undeterred. "We can share snacks and chat before bed."
Yu Xi shook his head. "Still nope."
Day three, Jian Ci tried again, this time with a decorated basket filled with Yu Xi's favorite snacks. "If we are roommates, we can take care of each other when we are sick, and wake each other up early for class."
Yu Xi, calm as ever, replied, "No."
Jian Ci slumped, speechless. "…" His persistence had met an immovable wall, and for once, Yu Xi's refusal was absolute.
After trying three time, he finally gave up. He was sulking, but he did give up. The weight of disappointment clung to him like a heavy cloak, dragging his mood down with every step. If he had a tail, it would have been drooping low behind him, burdened by rejection. Yet it wasn't Yu Xi who suffered for his sulking, it was Jian Rui and Jian Wei.
