Jiang Zhihuo: “?”
What does this mean
"Ah, I understand." Jiang Zhihuo didn't understand the meaning of Yan Mufa's two sentences. He suppressed his other thoughts and tried to understand the logic behind them.
"You think the term 'homosexuality' cannot be explained clearly. After all, it is just a subjective perception. No matter how you explain it, it cannot perfectly respond to the doubts. So you just take it on for me? Wow, Brother Yan is so righteous!"
This long paragraph is well-reasoned, logically consistent, and ends with a sincere expression of emotion. It is an excellent explanation.
But Yan Mu shook his head: "No."
"Ah?" Jiang Zhihuo looked at Yan Mu with a puzzled expression.
Yan Mu looked at him seriously.
His pupils were pure black, like the night sky after rain. It was afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, everything was enveloped in the warm autumn sun, and the bottom of his eyes seemed to be covered with a touch of fine light, with a bewitching seriousness and affection.
An inappropriate thought suddenly popped up in Jiang Zhihuo's mind.
Is this not a confession...
That shouldn’t be the case, right
As soon as this thought came to his mind, his heart seemed to skip a beat, and then it started beating faster and faster. He unconsciously turned his eyes away and reached out to grab his shoulders.
Place your right hand on top of your left shoulder.
This was a subconscious action of his. Once he felt nervous or didn't know where to put his hands, he would habitually grab his shoulders.
"So what does this mean?" Jiang Zhihuo asked.
The stronger the thought in his mind, the less hopeful he would be about the next answer. Jiang Zhihuo suppressed his expectation and waited quietly for Yan Mu's answer.
Yan Mu's voice was as serious as his eyes.
He said, “I’m chasing you.”
"Ah..." Jiang Zhihuo put down his hand.
It was so sudden! He didn't know what expression or words to use to react.
"I know, but why? Don't you have Bai Yueguang? Then I definitely don't look like him. It's not right for you to use me as a substitute."
He spoke incoherently, looking away, pinching her shoulder again, tapping nervously with his fingertips, "I, I, I here..."
Yan Mu looked at the nervous fingertips and finished the sentence for Jiang Zhihuo: "There is a tattoo here, I know."
Jiang Zhihuo raised his head, a little surprised: "How do you know? Even if you know, then this... is not it, why?"
At this moment, Jiang Zhihuo was in a state of confusion. His words were incoherent and he said a lot of things, but it seemed like he said nothing.
He did not deny that he did have a good impression of Yan Mu, nor did he deny that he was moved when he saw Yan Mu would rather bite him. He also did not deny the sense of loss that welled up in him when he knew that he could use special inhibitors and had no reason to continue living in Yan Mu's house.
But being moved, having a crush on someone and being disappointed are one thing, but keeping them in your heart and bringing them out directly are another.
Jiang Zhihuo has always been reluctant to think about this matter carefully because of many practical factors.
Everything else can be left aside. The most important point is that Yan Mu has Bai Yueguang, and he himself... his tattoos, his family...
"Oh! It's Yan Shen and Huo Ge... um!" Two girls passed by nearby, one of them couldn't help but scream out because of her loud voice, and the other girl immediately covered her mouth.
"They are in love, don't disturb them!" After saying that, he quickly left the basketball court.
Yan Mu raised his hand and placed it on Jiang Zhihuo's shoulder. Jiang Zhihuo suddenly raised his head as if frightened.
Yan Mu looked at him, his lips slightly parted, as if he was about to say something. At this moment, the broadcasting voice came from the playground. The female announcer said in a clear and melodious voice: "Athletes participating in the high jump in the third grade of senior high school, please come to the rostrum for pre-match registration."
Due to the large number of athletes and events, registration for each game will be carried out after the start of the previous game, which can save time to the greatest extent possible.
Jiang Zhihuo was as if he had been granted amnesty. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "You go over first. Don't say anything. Let me sort it out." He pinched his brows and said, "I'm a little confused now."
Yan Mu stretched out his hand, his fingertips were slightly warm, and touched his brow, saying, "I don't want you to answer me now."
Jiang Zhihuo: "Ah?"
Yan Mu did not answer again, but smoothed out the wrinkles bit by bit and said, "I'll go over first."
When Zhu You found Jiang Zhihuo, he was sitting on the flower bed and reading the forum with a sad face.
Not long after Yan Mu sent out those words, the whole building exploded, from being a melon-eating building to a screaming building, with the screen full of “Ahhh”, and it felt like the eyes were being hurt by the noise.
-Ahhhhhhhhh, this is really Yan Xueshen! He is confessing! It is a confession!!
-Oh my god! What is this! What am I seeing! !
-How come the CP I was rooting for suddenly came true!!!
-Brother Huo! Promise him! Fall in love! Get married! Get married! Ahhh!!
-After reading so many campus stories about the school hunk and the school bully, I finally get to witness a love story that belongs to the school hunk with my own eyes one day!
-So the person in the photo is Yan Xueshen? Oh my god!
What? I just posted two sentences on the forum, why are you getting married
Jiang Zhihuo unscrewed the drink and took a big gulp.
"Brother Zhihuo?" Jiang Zhihuo's expression was really strange, Zhu You asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm thinking." Jiang Zhihuo moved to the side to make room for Zhu You. "Have you read the forum?"
Zhu You sat down, propped up his chin, and rested his elbows on his knees: "Look, it's really romantic."
Jiang Zhihuo: “?”
romantic
Jiang Zhihuo: "Do you have any misunderstandings about romance?"
Zhu You looked into the distance with a yearning look in his eyes: "It is difficult to be recognized nowadays to like the same sex. Many people like to hide it and dare not hold hands when walking on the street. Isn't it romantic to have someone who is willing to tell everyone openly that he is pursuing you?"
Zhu You is a beta. Most people in this world are betas. There are too few alphas and omegas. Sexual orientation is still judged by the primary gender - male or female. People are always used to following the public's ideas as a code of conduct. For example, most people are male and female. Few people will bring things beyond cognition to the public.
Because of this, when Zhu You realized that he actually liked the same sex, he fell into a state of crazy entanglement and self-denial. He had experienced it and could understand how rare it was to express it to everyone so openly and without hesitation.
He asked Jiang Zhihuo: "Why do you have such a bitter face all the time, Brother Zhihuo, don't you like him? But why did you still kiss him in the equipment room?"
This is a fatal question!
"Ahem." Jiang Zhihuo was drinking a drink when he suddenly choked. He wiped off the coughed-up water with the back of his hand and said, "It was an accident. Our situation is a bit special."
"Why is it special?" Zhu You looked at Jiang Zhihuo puzzledly.
There are so many special places.
For example, because a changed to o, he was accidentally marked; because of the fever, he had to keep touching; and because he knew that Yan Mu had a white moonlight, but he was unwilling to forget the past, he was entangled.
In short, there are many reasons, like a tangled ball of threads, tangled together and impossible to explain clearly.
Jiang Zhihuo tried hard to organize his words, but failed every time. He opened and closed his lips many times, but he couldn't utter a single word clearly.
Zhu You tilted his head to look at Jiang Zhihuo and blinked.
"I... em... ah! Forget it!" Jiang Zhihuo gave up struggling, stretched out his hands and legs, and leaned back straight.
He was very confused and frustrated, but Zhu You beside him smiled softly: "Brother Zhihuo, you are so cute."
Jiang Zhihuo: “?”
Jiang Zhihuo: "Please withdraw."
Zhu You: "I don't! I'm just cute."
Can cute be used to describe the school bully? No! Not in this life!
Jiang Zhihuo stood up and stretched out his claws to Zhu You's fluffy hair, ruffling it hard. Zhu You couldn't run away at all. The only thing he could do was to protect his bangs: "I sprayed hairspray! Brother Zhihuo! Bangs! Don't mess up your bangs!!"
After rubbing his hands full of hairspray, he was about to let go when Sun Liyu and a group of people rushed over from a distance and surrounded Jiang Zhihuo in the crowd.
Sun Liyu: "Brother Huo! What's going on between you and Yan Shen!!!"
Chang Luo slowly poked his head out from the crowd: "That's right, weren't you guys arguing a few days ago? Why are you so fine all of a sudden?"
Zhu You's head was still under Jiang Zhihuo's hand, and he spoke up for Jiang Zhihuo, "Hey, don't ask for now. Your Yan Xue Shen confessed to Brother Zhihuo, and now Brother Zhihuo is in a dilemma. He hasn't figured it out yet, so he can't answer you."
"Wow, did I let you speak?" Jiang Zhihuo pushed Zhu You's head down again and decided to mess up his bangs as well.
Zhu's explanation was almost the same as saying nothing, and a group of classmates started asking again:
"So when did you guys get involved?"
"How did you become a god of learning?"
"Hey, you guys use the word 'do' very cleverly!"
"Is it because of the extra classes? Extra classes really can bring people closer together!"
"Bullshit, you must have had feelings for a long time, otherwise how could you let Yan Shen take the initiative to tutor you?"
"Fuck, didn't you see how Yan Shen rushed in to grab the bag yesterday? I even suspected that what I took was not a bag, but a bomb!"
Jiang Zhihuo: “?”
All the confusion and melancholy in my heart were dispelled by this group of people who came over to gossip.
"Why are you asking so many questions!" Jiang Zhihuo held Zhu You, "This is a private matter, private matter, okay!"
Zhu You reached out to Sun Liyu for help. Sun Liyu patted Jiang Zhihuo and rescued him. Then the cute Zhu You stood behind Sun Liyu, covered his flying bangs, and said, "It's all publicly confessed on the forum! It's not a private matter anymore!"
Jiang Zhihuo stretched out his hand in a ferocious manner.
Zhu You stuck out his tongue and quickly retracted it.
There was really nothing he could say to this group of people, so Jiang Zhihuo said, "I'm going to be quiet now, no one is allowed to follow me, no one is allowed to ask questions!"
After saying that, he ran, running very fast.
"Hey hey hey—Brother Huo!"
Sun Liyu was very curious. Besides Yan Xueshen's confession, there was also the matter of the omega. He wanted to chase after him, but Zhu You held him back and said, "Don't go over there. Let Zhihuo think it over carefully. Really."
Jiang Zhihuo wandered aimlessly on the playground, but during the sports meet, there were people everywhere, even in the classroom, there was a group of people who drew the curtains and secretly watched movies on the projector. He wanted to be alone for a quiet time but had nowhere to stay, so he walked to the equipment room unknowingly.
There's no one here, but this place...
Jiang Zhihuo felt a little hot in his ears when he recalled the scene here two days ago.
It was so rare to find a quiet place but he was too embarrassed to stay there. Jiang Zhihuo was filled with melancholy. He raised his foot to leave, but heard the sound of two people talking behind the half-open door.
“Delete this post for me!!”
The voice was rude and unreasonable, and it was obvious that it came from Hexiezhou.
Since "post" was mentioned, the other person must be Yan Mu.
Jiang Zhihuo approached the door.
As expected, Yan Mu said only two words in his usual cold voice: "Reason."
"It's all fake!" He Xiezhou said angrily, "You are slandering me!!"
"Oh." Yan Mu had a blank expression on his face, repeating everything He Xiezhou had said to him, "If you didn't do anything, then you are not afraid of slander, so why would you worry about it?"
"…" He Xiezhou didn't expect Yan Mu to stop him with such words. Knowing that he was in the wrong, he lowered his head reluctantly, "I'm sorry."
Yan Mu glanced at him coldly.
"I'm sorry!" He Xiezhou said again, "I'm sorry! His mother has already apologized, what else do you want!"
Yan Mu sneered: "Is this an apology?" He grabbed He Xiezhou by the collar, his alpha aura fully open. An ordinary person like him couldn't bear it at all, and his muscles began to spasm unconsciously.
"Do you need me to teach you how to apologize?"
He Xiezhou was terrified, lowered his head, and said devoutly: "Yes, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again..."
Yan Mu let go of his hand, still indifferent: "I'm not the one who should hear this apology."
He didn't give He Xiezhou any chance to speak, he opened the door and walked out, bumping into Jiang Zhihuo who was eavesdropping: "..."
"Cough." Jiang Zhihuo coughed lightly and put his fist to his lips to hide his embarrassment.
Yan Mu didn't mind, he lowered his head and sent him a string of numbers: "Account and password, He Xiezhou will contact you later."
Although he was disgusted by He Xiezhou's behavior of throwing slanderous water on him, how He Xiezhou would apologize and whether Jiang Zhihuo was willing to accept it were all up to Jiang Zhihuo to decide.
Jiang Zhihuo glanced at the screen and followed Yan Mu towards the gymnasium: "Are you not going to take care of the forum?"
Yan Mu turned around and looked at him.
A 100-meter sprint competition was being carried out on the playground. The referee blew a long whistle, and then with a "bang", the starting gun went off. Foam flew from the muzzle, and the atmosphere on the playground was instantly ignited with cheers one after another.
Near the equipment room, two people walked forward side by side.
Jiang Zhihuo realized that there was some ambiguity in his words after he finished speaking. The forum also included the fact that Yan Mu was pursuing him. Jiang Zhihuo curled his lips and said, "No, I mean..."
He thought for a long time, and felt that no matter how he explained it, he couldn't make it clear. He couldn't take back what he had said, so he gave up and said, "Forget it, take it however you want!"
Jiang Zhihuo felt that his indecision was ridiculous, and he was even a little angry with himself.
If you can’t explain it clearly, then don’t say it!
Goodbye friends!
He turned around and wanted to leave, but Yan Mu grabbed him and said, "Are you going to hide from me again?"
Jiang Zhihuo was slightly startled: "What?"
Yan Mu realized that he had lost his composure, so he let go and explained, "Last time, you also hid..."
Jiang Zhihuo was stunned for a long time before he remembered what Yan Mu said last time.
After moving out of Yan Mu's house, he avoided Yan Mu for a while.
But the situation is different!
Last time, he felt too embarrassed to face people because of the dream he had. This time... He didn't want to hide this time
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhihuo suddenly felt that it was indeed wrong to want to leave when he was angry. No matter how difficult it was to explain the matter between them, he had to say it.
He turned around and said bluntly: "That was indeed a confession of yours, right?"
Yan Mu: "Yes."
Jiang Zhihuo continued to be tough: "I don't understand, don't you have Bai Yueguang? Are you going to use me as a substitute this time? Brother Huo, I will never be a substitute!"
Yan Mu: “I didn’t.”
These three words were said with such certainty that Jiang Zhihuo didn't know how to continue, so he changed the subject to himself: "Besides, my tattoo, he, he..."
Before he finished speaking, Yan Mu lightly touched his shoulder and carefully traced the shape of half a shell through his clothes.
Jiang Zhihuo: "This tattoo is what I did for..."
"Yeah. I know, you got it for another person."
Did you know
How do you know this again
No, you know what this expression should be
Yan Mu was not angry at all, he just looked at him and asked, "What were you thinking about when you were getting the tattoo?"
There seemed to be a hint of imperceptible joy in his tone.
Isn't this a weird reaction
"?" Jiang Zhihuo, "Are you sure you want me to tell you?"
"It's okay, you don't have to tell me." Yan Mu said, "I don't mind."
Jiang Zhihuo was completely confused, even more confused than when he saw the confession on the forum.
He already knew that this was a tattoo for someone else, so why didn't he react at all
This strange conversation successfully diverted Jiang Zhihuo's thoughts, and he could only admire: "Brother Yan is worthy of being Brother Yan, he can bend and stretch."
Yan Mu stared at Jiang Zhihuo's slightly puzzled eyes and did not continue the topic of tattoos. Instead, he said word by word, seriously: "I didn't treat you as a substitute."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became serious. Jiang Zhihuo couldn't help but want to stand up straight: "Ah, then what?"
"I can't explain this to you for now, but I don't treat you as anyone."
"I'm pursuing you, and I mean it. I don't want you to hide from me again because of this."
Even though he had prepared these words many times in his mind, when he said the last sentence, Yan Mu still slowly turned his eyes away.
"I think..." He paused.
Jiang Zhihuo narrowed his eyes.
He shouldn't have thought about anything else at such a serious moment, but he indeed, clearly saw that Yan Xueshen's earlobe seemed, seemed, probably, to be turning red little by little.
"I wish you could get to know me better."
This scene reminded him of the last time in the alley outside the pet hospital, Yan Mu also said to him with red ears: "Can our relationship be eased a little?"
Exactly the same scenario.
"Pfft." Jiang Zhihuo chuckled.
Yan Mu: “?”
He was very sure that he was confessing his feelings just now, and he was also very sure that he was serious. It turned out to be funny...
When Jiang Zhihuo saw Yan Mu frowning, he knew that he had misunderstood what he meant. He immediately covered his mouth and suppressed his smile: "I'm not laughing at you! I'm just very happy! Okay, okay, keep talking! I'm listening carefully!"
Forget it, if I could really listen to him obediently, I wouldn’t be the Jiang Zhihuo I am now.
Yan Mu continued, "You can think about it slowly. I don't want you to answer me right away. You can enjoy it first."
Jiang Zhihuo: "Enjoy what?"
Yan Mu held his face, stroking it gently with her thumb, and said softly, "The feeling of being pursued."
It feels itchy when my fingertips touch it.
Jiang Zhihuo's face instantly burned up, and the places that were touched kept getting hot, constantly reminding him how seductive Yan Mu had just been.
He took three steps back and turned his head away, not wanting anyone to see his embarrassment at the moment, and urged: "I, I know, it's time for you to compete, go quickly."
After saying that, he turned around and left. Still worried that Yan Mu would catch him again, he walked very fast, his steps as fast as the wind.
Yan Mu ran away right after confessing: "?"
Jiang Zhihuo took a handful of cold water and poured it on his face, forcing himself to calm down.
He leaned his hands on the edge of the sink and looked at himself in the mirror.
Calm down, calm down, calm down!
Isn't it just a teasing
We've kissed before, but you get your heart beating fast when you're flirted with. You're so unsophisticated! !
Even though I kept saying this to myself in my heart, Yan Mu's voice still lingered in my ears and could not be shaken off.
Jiang Zhihuo splashed a handful of water on his face again. When he felt his face was no longer hot, he changed his clothes and dressed himself up neatly before heading to the gymnasium.
The third-year high jump competition had already started for a while, and there were only six or seven athletes left on the field.
Jiang Zhihuo pulled up his hood, put on a mask, and blended into the crowd.
The incident in the forum had not happened long ago, and he didn’t want to watch a game and be criticized for the couple.
Bai Yuyun is watching the game in the gymnasium.
The stadium's auditorium was already full, and there was a circle outside where there were no seats, so people had to stand in a circle.
Bai Yuyun's hair had grown a lot longer, barely covering the necklace around her neck. She was still wearing a white dress, looking like an immortal.
After Bai Zhengou got into trouble, she was responsible for clearing up the aftermath of the Bai family's affairs. She was very tired, but also felt more relaxed than ever before.
I have to thank Jiang Zhihuo for being able to escape from the quagmire.
In fact, she was also very curious in her heart about Jiang Zhihuo's identity, what kind of work he did, and why he approached her for investigation, but she never asked. This was Brother Huo's privacy, and those who asked questions were not smart.
The girl next to her touched her and pointed to the tall boy wearing a mask standing at the front of the circle opposite her: "Is that Brother Huo?"
Jiang Zhihuo also saw Bai Yujun and waved at her.
Bai Yujun nodded and smiled, then said to the girl, "It's him."
The girl covered her lips: "Oh."
She just laughed and quickly turned serious.
After all, both Yan Xueshen and Jiang Xiaoba were pursuing Bai Yuyun before, but they ended up getting together. If I support them too obviously, it might hurt Bai Yuyun's heart.
Bai Yuyun felt helpless about her friend's reaction.
She actually knew about Jiang Zhihuo and Yan Mu a long time ago.
Although she was drunk at the bar that day, the alcohol content was not strong. She lay there for a while and then woke up in a daze. However, she still felt dizzy, so she continued to lie there to rest.
Later, someone came in, grabbed Yan Mu and took her out. On the balcony, they asked the two of them if they were kissing. The two people who were asking the question made a lot of noise, and she heard it all without missing a beat.
As I said, those who dig deep into things are not smart people.
Bai Yuyun chose to pretend to be drunk and act like she knew nothing, and she even secretly supported the couple in private. Apart from anything else, the two handsome guys standing together were still very pleasing to the eye.
Another round ended, the height of the horizontal bar rose to 1.85 meters, and only three people were left on the field.
Yan Mu, and two other sports students.
One meter eighty-five is already above the national standard for third-level athletes, and it is very difficult for non-professional athletes to jump over it.
Yan Mu was the first to go on stage. He was always a little short in the first two times and the crossbar was knocked down.
The third time.
Yan Mu retreated to the starting point.
He doesn't care about the results in the sports meet, but as a person used to being excellent, he doesn't want to give up easily when he is capable of doing well.
He adjusted his breathing and took a deep breath.
The gym had become eerily quiet long before the bar was raised.
This height is really terrifying, even taller than the referee next to him.
Everyone held their breath and watched Yan Mu jump for the third time.
Yan Mu closed his eyes and opened them again.
Just as they were about to start running, Jiang Zhihuo's voice came from the audience: "Come on, Brother Yan!"
The sound was very clear in the quiet gymnasium, echoing and echoing again.
Yan Mu looked at Jiang Zhihuo, with a very faint smile on his face.
Yan Xueshen, who never smiles, is so heart-warming when he smiles! It's like stepping on the tip of your heart. Your heartbeat and pulse are all driven by this smile, beating violently at an extremely intense rhythm.
Yan Mu retracted his gaze, took a step back, and then started running briskly and powerfully. He leaped in front of the pole like a flying swallow, and his body leaned back in an extremely beautiful arc. The corners of his clothes were also pulled down, revealing a small part of his waist.
The boys in the competition are so charming that every move they make can stir up a warm and noisy throbbing in their chests.
He jumped over the 1.85-meter bar, landed steadily on the mat, then stood up and stood under the lights of the gymnasium.
They stared at each other from a distance, across the crowd and across the stadium.
The stars fell, shining brightly.
My mind is full, full, full of Yan Mu's voice.
"You can take your time to think about it. I don't want you to answer me right away. You can enjoy yourself first—"
“The feeling of being pursued.”
The author has something to say: Finally! Finally it’s time for my favorite ambiguous time before we get together~ Ah~ Guys, I’m so happy~~
