In the afternoon, when the whole group gathered, Shen-PD released the theme song and the re-ranking task on the spot.

The name of the theme song is “The Light Given to You”. The singing itself and the dancing are both at medium difficulty. The time given to learn this dance and song was three days and four nights.

The students were in an uproar. After their meeting was over, they went to visit the practice room in every class.

Xia Dongchan and his other two groupmates stayed in their practice room to learn dancing. Lin Ye was swearing after dancing in the morning and went back to take a bath first.

When he was bathing, he washed his hair. After he changed into his class uniform and came out to look for his hairdryer, he could not remember where Xia Dongchan had plugged the hairdryer in at.

He got up and wanted to look for his phone to give Xia Dongchan a call when he suddenly remembered that his phone had been handed over in at noon.

He raised his hand and rubbed his wet hair. The water droplets at the tips of his hair flew about everywhere with his movements, landing on his eyelashes and the tip of his nose.

Lin Ye opened his room door and started to knock on other doors one by one. When he reached the door of the hostel room, where he had accidentally walked into yesterday, he paused. After that, he purposely skipped it and knocked on the next door. However, there was no movement in any of the rooms.

Lin Ye had no choice but to walk back and knock on the door that he had skipped.

He had originally thought that no one would open the door, but unexpectedly, the door was opened very quickly.

And the person who opened the door was Jiang Lian himself.

Lin Ye was hit with the warm air coming from within the room. Jiang Lian was not wearing anything on the upper half of his body as he stood in front of the door and lowered his eyes to look at Lin Ye, “What’s the matter? You knocked from the first room to the last room, but no one came out to open the door for you?”

Knowing that the other party had heard everything from his room, Lin Ye’s expression showed a bit of awkwardness. However, Lin Ye’s expression returned to normal very quickly, “Can I borrow the hairdryer from your dorm?”

“Come on in,” Jiang Lian turned around and walked back in. Lin Ye could not tell if Jiang Lian was mocking him or giving him suggestions, “The temperature in the hostel room is so high, all you need to do is stand at the air outlet of the heating system and your hair will soon dry.”

Lin Ye followed behind him and entered the room, not saying a word. However, when Jiang Lian walked past the sofa, he turned his head back to glance at Lin Ye, “Close the door.”

Lin Ye turned around to close the door. When he turned back, he was met with a towel hitting him on his chest. Lin Ye instinctively caught it and realized that this towel had originally been on the armrest of the sofa.

He then heard Jiang Lian’s voice, “Dry the tips of your hair.”

Lin Ye raised his gaze in surprise. He was about to thank Jiang Lian when he heard Jiang Lian say, “Don’t drip water all over the dormitory floor and wet it.”

Lin Ye instantly shut his mouth, swallowing his ‘thank you’ back into his stomach.

He grabbed the towel in his arms and wanted to rub it on his head, but realized that it was wet upon touching it. Lin Ye lowered his gaze slightly in confusion and realized that there was a large patch in the middle of the towel that had a darker color.

Lin Ye had a complicated look on his face, “You passed me a wet towel to dry my hair with?”

Jiang Lian turned his head back to look at him.

Lin Ye frowned, “What was this towel used to wipe—”

“Hair,” Jiang Lian interrupted him.

Lin Ye did not understand, “What?”

Jiang Lian turned away and stopped looking at Lin Ye, “I used the towel to wipe my hair before this. You can find a dry part on one of the sides of the towel and use it to wipe your hair.”

Only then did Lin Ye’s expression relax a little. He took the towel and sat down on the sofa.

On the other hand, Jiang Lian had already found the hairdryer from the cupboard and plugged it in. He walked to Lin Ye’s side and stopped, bending down to pick up the pink class uniform that had been carelessly thrown on the sofa.

Lin Ye was sitting on the corner of the class uniform. Jiang Lian lifted his eyes and called out, “Lift your butt.”

Lin Ye did as he said. His eyes were sweeping across Jiang Lian’s abdominal muscles, which did not show any fat even when he was bending down.

Jiang Lian put on his class uniform and called him to the socket to blow dry his hair, “Dry your hair here, don’t take the hairdryer away.”

Lin Ye raised his head when he heard those words. His gaze landed on the part of Jiang Lian’s clothes that was sticking close to the side of his waist. The cloth that Lin Ye had pressed looked a little crumpled, and perhaps, it still had some of the warmth from his body.

For some reason, he felt a little restless.

When Lin Ye finally understood what Jiang Lian had said, he paused for a moment before he suddenly got up, looking straight at Jiang Lian, meeting his gaze.

Lin Ye then said mildly, “Don’t worry. I’m not gay, and I’m not interested in you. I won’t use this sort of excuse to harass you over and over again.”

The corner of Jiang Lian’s lips lifted when he heard Lin Ye’s words. His gaze lingered on Lin Ye’s face, “I need to use it again at night when I return. I was worried that you would forget to return it.”

Lin Ye did not expect that, and continued to nod his head calmly, “That’s good.”

After he said that, he walked forward with an easy grace. At the moment he raised his feet to walk around the Jiang Lian, his mouth felt a little dry and his palms felt warm.

“However,” Jiang Lian added coldly, “I do not intend to develop any relationship beyond that of teammates and opponents with anyone here.”

Lin Ye, who was flipping the switch of the hairdryer, stopped moving for a moment. He asked, without even turning his head back, “What’s the use of you telling me this sort of thing alone? You should say this to those who want to develop other relationships with you.”
