023
It was the end of get out of class time, and a group of people were located between the first, second and third grade teaching buildings, with many students coming and going.
Xu Yin and Xu Ling were well-known throughout the school, so when they saw the two of them fighting, many students passing by would click their tongues and wink, indicating that there was going to be another interesting show to watch.
Of course, this moment was the most difficult for Xu Ling.
A scene like this—a group of people surrounding and looking at someone with subtle eyes—has always been how Xu Yin was treated.
However, at this moment, it was Xu Ling who was surrounded and stared at with all kinds of eyes. The tricks he had been using were suddenly exposed. He felt his scalp tingling and wanted to turn around and run away.
Yan Ningchuan was standing in front of him, his handsome face always calm.
Xu Ling moved her lips, sweat broke out on her back, and her ears were buzzing: "I... I didn't..."
"But this time and the one witnessed by Lin Jia alone, there have been two such incidents," Yan Ningchuan continued calmly, "Or do you want to say that these were the only two times that we happened to encounter?"
Xu Ling: “…”
How else could he respond to this!
The looks around him became more subtle, and Xu Ling began to tremble all over.
But at this moment, the PE teacher suddenly shouted from behind: "Hey, hey, hey, get out of class is over, what are you guys doing here?!"
Xu Ling's whole body suddenly relaxed.
A group of people looked at each other.
The PE teacher came over and said cautiously, "Go away, go away. You don't have classes next, so you don't have to go to the classroom?!"
How could the physical education teacher not know about the feud between Xu Yin and Xu Ling? He would not let these students fight after his class!
"… Let's go," someone whispered.
Xu Ling felt like he was saved. He quickly looked at Qu Yi and Ye Xunran with a pitiful look, wishing he could fly away from here.
However, the two were still in a daze.
If it were usual, they would have dragged Xu Ling back to the classroom.
But now, Yan Ningchuan's words were still echoing in their ears, and Lin Ye's recording was still turning in their minds. For the first time, they realized that Xu Ling might be a little different from the boy they usually knew
This left them dumbfounded and at a loss for what to do.
Xu Ling was anxious and shouted directly to Ye Xunran: "...Xunran?"
Ye Xunran was awakened. He looked at Xu Ling with a subtle and unfamiliar look, then looked at Xu Yin hesitantly.
…However, Xu Yin seemed to have paid no attention to them from beginning to end.
He kept looking at Yan Ningchuan and smiling.
Xu Yin: The old man is so cute.
After he finished laughing, he said to Yan Ningchuan, "Don't worry about them, let's go back to the classroom."
Yan Ningchuan gave him a look of disapproval.
Wang Feifei also whispered: "Why leave? Let Xu Ling answer."
Xu Ling heard this and glared at Wang Feifei angrily.
Xu Yin still had his hands in his trouser pockets.
A gust of wind blew his slightly long black hair into a mess.
He stood in the wind, his voice gentle, "Even if we force him to answer today, he will only deny it. Don't talk nonsense if you don't know or are unclear. Wait until the class bell rings and everyone can go back to their respective classrooms."
"Ah, as for them," Xu Yin nodded at Ye Xunran and Qu Yi with his chin and shrugged, "Even if they waver now, they will be the same as before after Xu Ling cries."
Xu Yin spoke very bluntly, Xu Ling's face changed drastically, and Ye Xunran and Qu Yi also froze in place.
Qu Yi angrily said: "Do you take us for fools?!"
Xu Yin blinked.
As if to say, am I wrong
Qu Yi wanted to curse, but when he thought about the physical education class just now, he just hesitated for a moment, and then he regretted it because Xu Ling's eyes were red, and he immediately felt choked.
His expression changed several times, and suddenly, he turned around and looked at Xu Ling with a frown.
Xu Ling was about to cry.
Qu Yi: “…”
Qu Yi: Why does Xu Ling really keep crying
Seeing Qu Yi facing his tears, she did not show concern for him as usual, but became a little suspicious. Xu Ling's heart sank.
Xu Yin didn't have the patience to continue to argue with them.
Just like he said, he didn't quite believe that those "good brothers" in Class 7 who broke up with the original owner for Xu Lingneng would ever truly wake up, and he also had no intention of wasting time dealing with Xu Ling.
It is said that the original owner could not let go of his family affection and therefore fell into a state of self-torture. Xu Yin had no sense of belonging to the Xu family.
Xu's father asked him not to go home, which was just perfect for him.
Therefore, he didn't even have a starting point for arguing with Xu Ling.
"Yan Ningchuan," Xu Yin said, "Don't waste time on this kind of thing."
Yan Ningchuan was stunned and asked, "Don't you care?"
Don't care
For a moment, Xu Yin became the focus of attention again.
However, the boy who was the focus of their attention smiled and said in a gentle voice:
"No, I don't care."
Even when they returned to the classroom, Wang Feifei was still saying, "I didn't expect Xu Ling to be this type of person. She's even more innocent than a white lotus! She looks so cold, but she's so dramatic."
Lin Jia had heard about what happened after class and sneered, "How can a person who can turn a 'good brother' and Xu Yin into enemies in just one year and directly force Xu Yin to change shifts be pure and kind?"
And the last row—
The bell for class has rung, and the students have returned to their seats and taken out their textbooks.
Yan Ningchuan turned to the page he was going to learn today, and recalled Xu Yin's words "I don't care" just now, and frowned slightly.
He heard the boy's gentle voice beside him.
"Don't think too much. I'm not sad. I said 'I don't care' because I really don't care now."
Yan Ningchuan turned his head away.
Xu Yin propped her chin up with her hand, looked at him sideways, and said softly, "You should have heard about some of our family's affairs. I just think there's no need to take a father like that too seriously nowadays. After all, he doesn't treat me as his son, does he?"
Seeing Yan Ningchuan frowning even more after hearing this, Xu Yin laughed and said, "In fact, family affection is not necessary for everyone. For me, understanding this will make me feel a lot more relaxed."
"Really." Xu Yin gently tapped Yan Ningchuan's brow with a pen.
Yan Ningchuan's brows relaxed and his ears turned red.
After he withdrew his gaze, he sat upright and looked forward.
The teacher has walked in, put down the textbook, and opened the PPT.
Xu Yin also collected his attention and planned to listen to the class seriously.
Although he didn't know to what extent he could improve his grades in one year, Xu Yin was not the kind of person who would give up easily, so he listened carefully in every class, trying to keep up with everyone else.
However, just as he opened his notebook, he heard the boy next to him lower his voice and speak again: "Then what else makes you sad?"
Xu Yin paused.
He moved his fingertips, smoothed the corner of the notebook, raised the corner of his lips and said: "I still have someone very important in my heart."
Turning around, he and Yan Ningchuan met eyes again.
Xu Yin curved her eyebrows.
There are people in this world who can affect his emotions.
As long as that person is fine, there will be no cloudy days in Xu Yin's life.
On the other side, Class 7.
The atmosphere was very subtle as the whole class sat quietly waiting for the teacher to enter the classroom.
Lin Ye and Qu Yi sat in the fourth row.
Lin Ye poked Qu Yi with his elbow and whispered, "Brother, you don't still not believe it, do you?"
"Do I look so stupid?" Qu Yi said angrily, "I heard the recording!"
Lin Ye looked at him and shut up.
Although he is Qu Yi's younger brother, he has never been as... caring towards Xu Ling as Qu Yi
It's not quite right to say that he cares for her. Anyway, as a grown man, Lin Ye always finds it strange that Ye Xunran and Qu Yi always feel distressed when they see Xu Ling crying. This is not like raising a son or a girlfriend...
But he couldn't tell this to Qu Yi.
Qu Yi was extremely annoyed at the moment.
Not to mention the recording just now, Xu Ling’s reaction alone showed that he was guilty!
What Xu Yin said turned out to be true.
What about before
What Xu Yin had accused before... were they all true? ? Did they misunderstand Xu Yin? !
Qu Yi's mind was in a mess, and he was thinking again -
He had always felt sorry for Xu Ling. He felt sorry for a boy with such a cold personality when his eyes turned red. But at this moment, he recalled what had happened in the past year and suddenly realized... Xu Ling said she was strong, but it seemed like she was always crying
One, two... three or four times a week
Qu Yi snapped his fingers and suddenly began to doubt his life.
Obviously he used to hate boys who cried the most
He placed his fingers on his temples, thinking about how things between them and Xu Yin had turned out like this after Xu Ling transferred in.
Actually, Xu Yin never hit Xu Ling, because every time he wanted to hit her, they were there. When he asked what happened, Xu Yin would accuse Xu Ling of saying something too much, but Xu Ling always remained silent, sitting there coldly and stubbornly. When everything calmed down, he turned his head inadvertently, and Xu Ling's eyes were red. Sometimes when she found him looking at her, Xu Ling would turn her head away, but he still caught a teardrop falling...
…Those scenes were eerily similar to this afternoon?!
Qu Yi ruffled his hair madly.
Were they all fooled by Xu Ling? !
Qu Yi turned around angrily and looked towards the back row.
Xu Ling looked into his eyes with red eyes.
When Xu Ling noticed that he was looking at her, she turned her head away.
However, the teardrop that fell still fell into Qu Yi's eyes.
Qu Yi: “… ”
He turned back with gritted teeth.
Seeing that his attitude was wrong, Xu Ling was shocked.
He quickly wiped away his tears, lowered his head, and thoughts raced in his brain.
This shouldn't be the reaction. Is this not going to work? The recording is too strong a proof...
Xu Ling clenched her hands tightly, her heart beating rapidly.
Qu Yi no longer looked at him, but there was Ye Xunran beside him, who had not spoken a word to him since he entered the classroom.
Xu Ling thought nervously for a while, took a deep breath, and relaxed his body.
Ye Xunran was looking at the blackboard, but he was actually a little absent-minded.
When he thought of Xu Yin's words "I don't care" just now, his heart ached slightly.
Don't care about anything
Did he not care about his father anymore? Or did he not care about them...his former brothers
Ye Xunran kept rubbing the fingertips holding the pen, feeling anxious.
Suddenly, his sleeve was tugged.
Ye Xunran came back to his senses and looked at the cold boy beside him. He lowered his eyes and whispered, "Xunran, are you willing to listen to my explanation?"
Ye Xunran looked subtle and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Why do you want to do this?"
Xu Ling was silent for a few seconds, then said: "I..."
He bit his lip, closed his eyes, and said, "I admit that I was angry today. He wanted to beat me up at noon, but when he returned to Class 12, he acted as if he had never done anything. Everyone in Class 12 defended him and probably didn't believe that he had ever done anything to me. I, I couldn't help it..."
Xu Ling opened his eyes again and said in a hoarse voice: "He is so hypocritical, Xunran."
This time, Xu Ling's eyes were not red and he did not shed tears.
But Ye Xunran could feel that Xu Ling was trying hard to endure it.
Because his voice was choked.
Xu Ling continued to speak, her sobs becoming more and more obvious: "Yan Ningchuan's guesses were all false. I was only bewildered today and did something that caused you to misunderstand. I'm sorry... I have never lied to you before, you have to believe me..."
Ye Xunran hesitated and asked, "What about noon?"
When he walked into the bathroom at noon, he heard Xu Ling's exclamation. When he rushed over, he saw Xu Yin raising his hand. He didn't hear what they had talked about before.
Xu Ling sobbed: "Are you still doubting me? I said that it was only just now that I couldn't help but say that..."
The boy's sobbing sounded so pitiful. Upon hearing this sound, Ye Xunran's heart suddenly softened. All the doubts he had before could no longer stay and quickly dissipated.
He rubbed Xu Ling's head: "Do you promise?"
Xu Ling nodded and leaned towards him gently: "Of course..."
Ye Xunran's body tensed.
Xu Ling lowered her head and asked, "Xun Ran, will you regret making such a fuss with Xu Yin because of me?"
Ye Xunran was speechless for a moment.
Xu Ling gently held his hand.
Ye Xunran trembled and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.
He looked away and said, "… This is not a question of regret or not. If he had been as calm as he is now, we wouldn't have ended up like this."
In the front row, Lin Ye was speaking passionately as if he was broadcasting a match: "Xu Ling seems to be trying to conquer Ye Xunran. Ye Xunran is loose, he is loose! He seems to have been conquered again! Oh my god, he can be conquered again even after all this. Is Ye Xunran too weak, or is Xu Ling too strong!"
"..." Qu Yi, "Did you also broadcast the real-time match between Xu Ling and I like this before?"
Lin Ye: "Ahem."
Qu Yi: Damn.
Qu Yi admitted that he had some inexplicable feelings towards Xu Ling before, but he hated being played like a monkey even more.
When he thought about how he might have been fooled by Xu Ling like an idiot, he became angry and embarrassed and couldn't concentrate on the class at all!
The afternoon classes ended quickly and the students went to the cafeteria to have dinner.
Xu Yin didn't eat lunch, and later went to the canteen to only fill her stomach a little. She tried to eat more for dinner.
After dinner, I returned to the classroom. Evening self-study would start in half an hour.
The science homework gave Xu Yin a headache. He flipped through the papers and whispered to Yan Ningchuan, "When you finish your homework, can you teach me?"
Yan Ningchuan took a look at Xu Yin's empty paper and said, "Okay, you can ask me if you have any questions."
"Okay." Xu Yin smiled.
As soon as he finished laughing, he restrained his expression, stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Yan Ningchuan nodded and turned back to do his homework.
But after he had made a few strokes, Xu Yin's smile instantly disappeared and appeared in his mind, so Yan Ningchuan stopped writing.
After thinking for a while, he put down his pen, stood up and walked out of the classroom.
Although it was not yet time for evening self-study, it was already the third year of high school after all, and the students all knew that time was running out, so not many people were playing around in the corridors and classrooms.
When Xu Yin walked into the bathroom, there was only one person in it.
Xu Yin didn't care about anyone else. He quickly walked to the big trash can and started to vomit while leaning against the wall.
018 rarely appeared today. At this moment, a bubble popped up and said, "This body is in very poor condition."
Xu Yin took a breath and responded in his mind: "After all, I haven't had a good meal for a long time."
As soon as he responded, he vomited again, his stomach churning.
It was also his fault for not considering that the stomach of this body was already very fragile. Even if he was hungry, he really shouldn't have stuffed so much food into it at once like he did tonight.
"Xu Yin?" Ye Xunran's anxious voice suddenly sounded beside him. It turned out that the person he had just seen in his peripheral vision was him. "Are you okay?"
Xu Yin coughed and straightened up. He waved his hand, turned back to the sink, and rinsed his mouth with two handfuls of water.
Ye Xunran followed and said, "Is it gastroenteritis? The school doctor is off duty now, you'd better ask the teacher for leave—"
"I'm fine." Xu Yin stood up and politely rejected the other party's kindness.
Xu Yin had just finished vomiting, his eyes and nose were red, and his throat was a little hoarse, but this was a physiological reaction.
Unlike Xu Ling who wanted to cry but was holding it back, the boy in front of Ye Xunran was truly calm at this moment. Even though he was in such a mess, he still calmly took a step back and kept a distance from him.
Ye Xunran felt his heart ache again, and he cried out bitterly: "Xu Yin, I..."
Suddenly, footsteps were heard and a figure appeared in the toilet.
Ye Xunran had his back to the door and didn't know who came in. He only saw that the boy in front of him suddenly changed from his calm and composed look of the previous second to a soft expression.
Ye Xunran was stunned. The next second, Yan Ningchuan brushed past him and walked straight over: "Xu Yin, what's wrong with you?"
Yan Ningchuan walked up to Xu Yin, held his shoulders, frowned and checked his condition, and asked seriously: "Why are your eyes red?"
Xu Yin was actually not the kind of person who liked to make others worry, so when she realized something was wrong with her stomach, she immediately got up and went to the bathroom. However, she did not expect to be discovered by Yan Ningchuan.
But this person...has always been like this.
Xu Yin looked into the eyes of the boy who was so close to her and smiled softly.
Well... As I said, it feels really good to have a top to rely on.
… So Ye Xunran watched with his own eyes the boy who had just calmly told him “it’s okay” whispered to Yan Ningchuan: “I vomited.”
“It’s a bit uncomfortable.”
Ye Xunran: “…”
Yan Ningchuan stood still.
Then, he seriously supported Xu Yin and walked out.
Ye Xunran turned around and followed them, wanting to say something, but no one paid any attention to him.
Xu Yin: "Where are you going?"
Yan Ningchuan: "Teacher's office, asking for leave."
Xu Yin: "I probably just ate too much today. I'll be fine after I vomit. It's not that bad actually."
Yan Ningchuan: "That also requires taking a leave, and you don't eat much at all."
Xu Yin: “Okay.”
Yan Ningchuan tried to hold back, but couldn't help it. He reached out and touched Xu Yin's head, and asked in a low voice: "Do you feel better after vomiting?"
Xu Yin smiled.
He whispered, "Just a little bit, it will be fine after taking the medicine."
"Well, besides that," seeing Yan Ningchuan waiting seriously for his next words, Xu Yin teased, "If you smile at me, maybe I will feel better immediately."
…
Yan Ningchuan didn't laugh.
After Xu Yin finished speaking, he stiffened like a log, even his steps were very rigid.
Xu Yin’s shoulders were almost shaking from trying so hard to hold back her laughter.
After going to the teacher's office to explain the situation and ask for leave, Xu Yin planned to return to the dormitory with his homework.
The wooden Yan Ningchuan accompanied Xu Yin all the way to the stairs. Xu Yin asked seriously, "You really don't want to smile?"
Yan Ningchuan: “…”
"Okay." Xu Yin sighed with regret.
018 suddenly said: "A random mission has arrived."
Xu Yin's face turned pale, and words popped up in the taskbar. At the same time, a girl walked around them, chatting and laughing with her friends. As she walked down the stairs, she missed a step and slid down: "Ah-"
A shadow flashed by, and she was grabbed by a hand. Then she was lifted up by the waist and returned safely to the ground at the corner of the stairs.
The girl was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. She turned around and said, "Thank you..."
When she saw it was Xu Yin, she was stunned.
Xu Yin smiled at her and said, "Be careful when you walk next time."
"..." The girl blushed, nodded and whispered, "Okay, I see. Thank you, thank you!"
As she spoke, she glanced at Xu Yin, raised her lips and blushed, then she pulled her good friend down the stairs. Even after they ran far away, they could still hear their excited discussions.
Only then did Xu Yin pay attention to the contents on the task bar. His total score was four points, which was almost the minimum score for a random task. It was good enough for him to get a random task now.
Xu Yin closed the taskbar interface while thinking about it. When he looked up again, he saw Yan Ningchuan staring at him.
Xu Yin: “?”
Yan Ningchuan: "Next time you can tell me and I'll lend a hand." He didn't notice it just now.
Xu Yin laughed: "It's too late."
Yan Ningchuan: “…”
He nodded.
I couldn't help but glance in the direction where the two girls had just left.
He lowered his eyes in silence for a moment, then raised them again.
Xu Yin: “???”
Yan Ningchuan pulled up the corners of his lips stiffly, revealing a very weird... smile
Xu Yin was distracted and asked in surprise: "Are you laughing?"
The corners of Yan Ningchuan's mouth immediately drooped, and he walked down quickly with an expressionless face.
Xu Yin: Ah, this.
He immediately followed, grabbed Yan Ningchuan's arm, and moved forward: "Are you angry?"
"No." Yan Ningchuan's tone was quite stiff.
"You are angry." Xu Yin couldn't help laughing.
Why? I didn't want to laugh just now, why do I suddenly want to laugh again
But no matter what, adhering to the attitude of encouraging her husband in everything, Xu Yin coaxed: "I'm fine, I'm not uncomfortable anymore, really!"
"You're coaxing a child." Squad Leader Yan was quite perceptive.
"Pfft..." Xu Yin couldn't help it anymore and laughed while holding her stomach.
Yan Ningchuan stopped, turned around and looked at him, his brows furrowed tightly, looking very dissatisfied.
A few steps up, the boy laughed for a long time before stopping.
The preparatory bell for evening self-study rang.
The boy took a breath and stopped laughing.
He wiped away the tears from his laughter and said, "Yan Ningchuan, you are so cute."
Yan Ningchuan was sure that his face turned red in the darkness.
He was a little flustered, but tried to remain calm: "I'm a boy, what's so cute about that?"
Xu Yin shook his head.
He walked down step by step.
Yan Ningchuan took a step back and turned his head away, fearing that Xu Yin would notice the clues on his face.
After Xu Yin stood in front of him, she looked up at him and smiled gently: "You are really cute."
"thump".
Yan Ningchuan's chest was vibrating.
Patting Yan Ningchuan's shoulder gently, Xu Yin raised her lips and coaxed, "Okay, the bell for preparation has rung, let's go back to the classroom."
He smiled and tried to leave, but his wrist was grabbed.
Turning around, Yan Ningchuan avoided his gaze, held his hand and refused to let go, even holding it tightly.
Xu Yin looked at him with a smile, shook her hand, and said, "Wait until you come back from evening self-study and teach me how to do my homework?"
Yan Ningchuan was slightly stunned.
After a moment, he replied in a low voice: "Yeah."
Under the dim corridor light, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
