Why did Cheng Chen come here
Of course he did it for Jiang Xuan, but also for himself.
Ever since he felt that he got Jiang Xuan's hint that he should confess his feelings, he has been thinking about how to express his feelings to Jiang Xuan.
After the military training was over, he threw away his shabby training clothes and immediately changed into clothes with a strong sense of design that could highlight his image as a weak young master.
His clothes are all designed by professional designers, and Jiang Xuan will definitely be dazzled when he sees him.
Jiang Xuan’s current address was found out by asking for it before, on the pretext of sending something to Jiang Xuan.
Of course, he didn't want to go in. Having known Jiang Xuan for so long, Cheng Chen knew very well that he could not enter his private space without his consent.
Not only did he change his clothes today, he also knew that Jiang Xuan had not come back yet. The purpose of his standing here was to let Jiang Xuan see him the first time he came back. He checked the weather conditions today. It would rain at 6:30 in the evening, so Jiang Xuan should have come back by then.
Of course, it doesn't matter if he comes back later. He is already prepared. All his attire today is just for the sake of appearing weak. As long as Jiang Xuan comes back and sees him sitting on the steps waiting for him pitifully, it will be enough.
If Jiang Xuan came back and saw him standing in the rain, soaking wet, his pitiful appearance would surely arouse his sympathy.
Lin Zimao did not stay on the first floor, but returned to his room so that he could watch Cheng Chen leave from the balcony.
Time passed by minute by minute. Half an hour later, Cheng Chen still had no intention of leaving.
Lin Zimao was a little hungry and wanted to order takeout.
Jiang Xuan must know that Cheng Chen is waiting for him at the door, right? He is carrying a suitcase, so he can't be planning to stay here overnight.
Lin Zimao thought that no one should starve, so he dialed Jiang Xuan's communicator.
Jiang Xuan was discussing a design concept with his research group classmates in the school laboratory when he saw the communicator on the table vibrating. He took a look and saw it was Lin Zimao. He didn't seem to have called him through the communicator before. Was there something urgent
It turned out to be almost 6:30, and he said to the members, "Let's take a break."
He took the cup of water into the tea room and answered the communicator.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xuan was cold but not freezing. He was always unimaginably gentle towards Lin Zimao.
Lin Zimao deliberately lowered his voice and pinched his throat to say, "Brother Jiang Xuan, when will you come back?"
Jiang Xuan almost spilled the water in his hand: "Don't be naughty." There was some helplessness in his tone.
Lin Zimao snorted pitifully, "You don't know yet? Your childhood sweetheart is downstairs. He's been waiting for you for half an hour. I didn't even dare to order takeout. I was so hungry that my stomach hurt."
"What childhood sweetheart?" Jiang Xuan was stunned for a moment, then realized, "You mean Cheng Chen?"
"Yeah, he was carrying a box." Lin Zimao reported to Jiang Xuan on the spot, "Tsk, you already have a beautiful girl in your house, and you want to take another one in?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Jiang Xuan couldn't help but curl his lips. It seemed interesting to hide a beautiful girl in a golden house. He added, "No one else will live with me."
"Are you coming back now?" Lin Zimao asked him in a low voice, just like a lover whispering in his ear.
Jiang Xuan's ears felt slightly hot: "I haven't finished my work yet. I'll ask Cheng Chen's brother to pick him up."
As he was talking, Lin Zimao suddenly noticed that it was raining outside: "It's thundering, what if your childhood sweetheart gets caught in the rain?"
Jiang Xuan thought of the first time he saw Lin Zimao and Jiaoyan downstairs of his house, and said, "You can just throw him an umbrella. His brother will be here soon, and I will be back in a while."
Lin Zimao said, "That's fine. If it rains, I'll throw him an umbrella. Then he'll ask who I am."
Jiang Xuan: "Just say you are a friend from another planet and you want to talk to me about something."
Lin Zimao said, "Oh, that's fine."
It would be troublesome if Cheng Chen knew about his relationship with Jiang Xuan. Maybe the whole world would know that they were married tomorrow.
Jiang Xuan waited until he really hung up before putting away the communicator. He returned to the laboratory and continued to finish what he had not finished saying, speaking a little faster than before.
With a loud bang, thunder sounded outside, and drops of rain fell. It really started to rain.
Lin Zimao dug out a mask from the medicine box, found an umbrella, opened the door a crack, and threw it at Cheng Chen, who was sitting on the steps waiting to get wet and turn into a delicate beauty.
Cheng Chen was imagining that when Jiang Xuan came back, he was very happy to see him because he had been in the rain for too long. He felt a little dizzy when he stood up, and his body swayed slightly. Then Jiang Xuan reached out to support him, and he took the opportunity to dive into Jiang Xuan's arms.
They hugged each other in the rain, time froze at this moment, and then Jiang Xuan felt so distressed that he picked him up and carried him into the house, took off his wet clothes and pants for him, and changed him into Jiang Xuan's underwear. Then he woke up when Jiang Xuan almost kissed him, and the two confessed their love, kissed, and did the best thing, and from then on they lived a fairy-like life that everyone envied.
Cheng Chen was hit by an object and was so frightened that all the beautiful ideas in his mind were smashed. He stood up and looked down. It was an assembled umbrella!
Cheng Chen immediately became alert: "Who's there!" In some ways, he reacted pretty quickly: "Who are you! Why are you living in Brother Jiang Xuan's house!"
Lin Zimao thought, he didn’t want to do it either, but they were getting married and were forced to live together.
Lin Zimao lowered his voice and said, "Why can't I live in his house? I'm his friend."
Cheng Chen jumped up immediately. The door was not closed tightly, so he rushed over and banged on it, trying to force his way into the house!
But he didn't push, because Lin Zimao was holding the door with one foot, and no matter how hard Cheng Chen pushed, he couldn't move it.
One is outside and the other is inside.
Cheng Chen pushed hard again, and the door still opened a crack, but only a crack. He pushed for a long time, but it still didn't move: "Let me in! Why don't you let me in? What's so shameful about you?"
Lin Zimao thought for a moment and said, "I have social anxiety and cannot meet strangers. I cannot open the door."
Cheng Chen didn't know whether to push or not, so he had to stand outside the door: "..."
There are indeed many socially anxious people in the world.
Lin Zimao continued in a low voice, "But I can chat with you through the door. Why are you standing at the door in the rain? I saw that you looked pitiful, so I brought you an umbrella. I'm a good person, so you'd better open the umbrella. It's so uncomfortable to be in the rain."
Cheng Chen asked in confusion: "If you are a social phobic, why do you dare to talk to me?"
Lin Zimao: "I also have a lot of fun chatting with people online. It's fine as long as I don't see the other person's face."
Cheng Chen could only believe him: "I have never heard that Brother Jiang Xuan has a friend like you."
Lin Zimao added: "Everyone says I'm a socially anxious person, why should I tell you? Do you like Jiang Xuan?"
Cheng Chen said confidently: "Yes, I like him."
Lin Zimao felt bored and started to ask Cheng Chen: "What do you like about him? Is he handsome?"
The rain started to get heavy, but Cheng Chen still opened his umbrella.
Cheng Chen said: "I like it, that's it."
Lin Zimao pretended to be curious: "He is not funny, not humorous, not romantic, not talkative, and cold. He may not even like small animals. What do you like about him? Do you like his family because they are rich?"
Cheng Chen was speechless for a moment: "Don't talk nonsense, it's not true!"
Lin Zimao: "If he was a pauper with only a face, would you still like him?"
Cheng Chen was speechless: “…” He hesitated.
Lin Zimao said earnestly: "As someone who has been through this, I think you should examine your heart carefully. There is no future in loving someone who has no heart."
Cheng Chen: "No, he definitely likes me. We grew up together. He gave me gifts on my birthday and an umbrella on rainy days. When I fainted on the playground due to low blood sugar in the first year of high school, he helped me to the school clinic."
Lin Zimao: "It seems like you two have a very good relationship."
Cheng Chen was a little proud again: "Of course, he just doesn't like to talk and is a little cold. I will warm him up!"
Lin Zimao wanted to say something when the sound of a flying car was heard outside. Judging from the speed of the flying car, it was Jiang Xuan who returned.
The first one to come down was Jiang Xuan. He walked to the door holding an umbrella.
Cheng Chen saw that Jiang Xuan was a little excited and almost threw away his umbrella and rushed over, but looking at Jiang Xuan's cold face, he paused: "Brother Jiang Xuan, you are finally back, I..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Xuan interrupted him, his voice so cold that ice chips could fall off: "I asked your brother to come and pick you up."
Cheng Chen was stunned: "... Can't I live with you?"
Lin Zimao shouted from inside: "I have social phobia and I cannot face people!"
Jiang Xuan paused for a moment: "Well, my friend is socially anxious."
Cheng Chen hated the socially anxious guy inside. All his plans for tonight went down the drain.
No, he must confess today!
Cheng Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Jiang Xuan, I, I want to tell you that I have liked... "
At this time, a flying car stopped in front of Jiang Xuan's house. The other party honked the horn and shouted to Cheng Chen: "Chenchen, get in the car!"
Cheng Chen finally got the chance to confess his feelings, but...
Jiang Xuan said: "Your brother is here, get in the car."
He did not help Cheng Chen carry the box, but let him carry it by himself, and before he got in the car, he said to him: "Don't come here again next time."
He believed that Cheng Chen should be able to understand this sentence.
Cheng Chen heard it, but he couldn't believe it. What did this mean
Cheng Chen left and Jiang Xuan returned home.
Lin Zimao ordered takeout for two people and it was delivered in less than half an hour.
Lin Zimao was sitting at the dining table unpacking his takeaway food. Pepper and Salt stood on a chair with its hind legs, its front legs clinging to the edge of the table, and its head leaning back to bury itself in the bag. Lin Zimao pushed its big round head away, but it rubbed its head directly against his palm.
Lin Zimao said to it seriously: "Pepper and Salt, go eat the cat food. We are not poor now. Don't always snatch food from me."
Pepper and Salt still did its own thing and rubbed the palms of its hands. After rubbing, it continued to be curious about what was in the bag and used its claws to pry it out.
Jiang Xuan had just gotten caught in the rain and had just come out of the shower when he heard him say "not poor". It reminded him of Lin Zimao's return from Alpha Star. He thought that the Lin family had enough money to support him, so did they have a hard life in the past
He considered his words carefully: "Were the living conditions bad before?"
Lin Zimao: "Not bad, you see I can still make Pepper Salt so fat."
Jiang Xuan said as he looked at the salt and pepper that continued to be picked from the bag: "It's quite fat."
During the meal, Jiaoyan jumped onto the table twice and was ruthlessly pushed off by Lin Zimao.
He thought it was strange: "Salt and pepper were not on the table before, why did they start to appear today?"
Jiang Xuan ate in silence. It wasn't his cat, so he didn't know.
Lin Zimao ordered the takeout, and Jiang Xuan was the one who cleaned up after the meal. He put away the dishes according to the garbage classification.
Lin Zimao didn't walk far. He stood beside the open kitchen counter holding a cup and watched Jiang Xuan wash the dishes.
Watching his jade-like fingers putting the dishes into the dishwasher one by one, Lin Zimao thought that he had seen good-looking people, but most of those people only had good-looking faces, while Jiang Xuan was more than just a face.
Actually, a household robot could handle it, but he still did it himself.
At this moment, Jiang Xuan was much more down-to-earth than his cold appearance.
In fact, the more you get to know Jiang Xuan, the more you will discover that he is a real person. He is not as cold and unattainable as he appears to be.
Lin Zimao lay on the stage, his voice a little soft, and said: "Today Cheng Chen told me that you would give him a gift on his birthday, and you also gave him an umbrella on a rainy day. When he fainted in the playground due to hypoglycemia in his first year of high school, you helped him to the school clinic."
Jiang Xuan washed his hands and said word by word, "On his birthday, the gifts I gave him were similar to those given to other friends. I only gave him an umbrella once, and it was his brother who asked me to give it to him. As for fainting due to low blood sugar, it was my turn to be on duty that day, and the teacher called me over."
Nothing is voluntary.
The cold corner of Lin Zimao's heart collapsed slightly after listening to the explanation, and he said with a smile in his eyes: "On rainy days, I don't like to use an umbrella."
"Why?" Jiang Xuan asked him, dazzled by his bright eyes.
Lin Zimao spun his water cup and said, "Because it rarely rains on our planet Alpha, I like rain."
Jiang Xuan: "So you get caught in the rain."
Lin Zimao: "Doesn't it feel good to be caught in the rain?"
Jiang Xuan looked at him seriously: "You will catch a cold."
Lin Zimao: “…”
This guy is not romantic at all.
The next morning.
Jiang Xuan was woken up by Pepper Yan who forced his way into his room to sleep on both weekends, while Lin Zimao did not wake up until after nine in the morning every day, as if he wanted to make up for the sleep time he missed during military training, and he did not notice at all that Pepper Yan did not come back to sleep.
Jiang Xuan had to go to school every day to study design drawings, leaving early and returning late, so the two of them hardly ever met him.
On Monday, as a freshman, Lin Zimao finally had to get up early and go to school.
In order to abide by the three rules they had agreed upon, Lin Zimao yawned and got on the bus to school alone.
Jiang Xuan left home later than him. His car stopped next to the bus. He looked at Lin Zimao, who was almost squeezed into a meat patty by the people in the car, and was pressed against the window helplessly. Jiang Xuan couldn't help but slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
He recalled He Ling's previous comment on Lin Zimao, which was quite cute.
The school sent them the book contents in the form of data over the weekend.
He thought the place would be quiet when he came in, but he didn't expect it to be so lively and bustling like a vegetable market.
Wang Yi specially reserved a seat for him. Lin Zimao walked over and sat down. After squeezing on the bus, his whole body was hot, and he cooled down only after entering the classroom.
When we sat down, we found out that they were excited about the mecha simulation cabin competition held by the college, and they were all filling out registration forms.
After Wang Yi finished signing up, he asked Lin Zimao, "Are you really not going to sign up? Everyone wants to go and have some fun. It's said that the top three can challenge any senior from the Mecha Combat Department."
Lin Zimao thought of Ren Siran. On the forum, students from the school praised him, all praising his selfless spirit and his fearlessness of life and death.
However, the official website announced a few days ago that all the mechas of the Mecha Academy were recalled to the factory for inspection.
He suddenly became interested: "Since everyone has signed up, I might as well go and have some fun."
