🍋‍🟩 Completed Chapter

【Zhao Linsu】

Shen Yan propped his hands on the sink, his head hanging low into the basin.

A tragic BGM automatically played in his ears.

He wanted to kill someone.

This was unreasonable! Utterly unreasonable! He hadn't fantasized about Zhao Linsu! He had just uncontrollably thought of Zhao Linsu during that moment...

Wait.

If that counted, then could it be that Zhao Linsu also...

The optimistic conjecture was instantly hammered into the ground by rational thought.

Thinking of it occasionally was still possible, but thinking of it occasionally every day, could that still be called occasional? It couldn't be that Zhao Linsu had some special fetish, needing to fantasize about him watching from the side every single time, right?

Shen Yan's lips twitched. If that were the case, then Zhao Linsu was truly not your average pervert.

Anyway, no matter what, the current situation had a general and unshakeable conclusion, which was—

——Zhao Linsu was a pervert.

"Yanyan, are you washing your hair?"

"Mmm..."

"Your sister Feifei's gift has arrived. You can take it to Linsu later."

"..."

"Got it."

Shen Yan replied listlessly.

"Why are you so listless early in the morning?" Shen Shen stepped forward and hugged Shen Yan's waist, rubbing it for a moment. Shen Yan was washing his hair and couldn't break free, so he could only shout, "Don't touch me, it tickles—"

Shen Shen laughed heartily, taking a deep sniff at Shen Yan's neck, intoxicated. "Oh, my darling, the scent of youth~"

Shen Yan: "..." Enough, why were there perverts everywhere in his life?

Shen Shen went to work, leaving two delicate bags on the table.

After Shen Yan finished washing up, he came out and took one of them, swaying as he went downstairs.

The little dog was lying downstairs.

Shen Yan met its gaze.

The little dog's eyes were innocent and pure.

Shen Yan seemed to be thinking, and suddenly asked, "Have you been neutered?"

The little dog probably didn't understand, stood up, and rubbed against Shen Yan's shoe.

Shen Yan sighed, bent down, and fed it a piece of dried meat.

The SUV was parked at the entrance of the residential area. Shen Yan braced himself and walked over with the bag. He opened the car door. It was warm inside. Shen Yan handed the bag to Zhao Linsu, wrapped his coat tighter, and closed the car door. "Sister Feifei's gift."

Zhao Linsu took it. "Thank you."

Their eyes met, and Shen Yan's eyelid twitched.

Hello, 【Shen Yan】.

Thankfully, it wasn't the horror version.

He had spent most of last night in the game, finally suppressing that strange emotion, only to have it broken again by a "good night." Early this morning, he was tormented by the 【Zhao Linsu】 above his head.

Now that 【Shen Yan】 and 【Zhao Linsu】 were face-to-face in a car, Shen Yan couldn't pretend that nothing was happening anymore.

This situation... how was it becoming more and more like Huang Mengxuan and Liao Jing?!

Shen Yan pressed his lips together tightly.

After avoiding it to a certain extent, some things became too obvious to ignore.

So Zhao Linsu really had desires for him.

Then what about him? Did he have desires for men, for Zhao Linsu...?

The first time he watched that video, it could be said he was unprepared, ambushed by that unfamiliar stimulation. Men, sometimes, really couldn't completely control themselves.

But what about yesterday? In that situation, just seeing the kissing scene, with Zhao Linsu sitting beside him, he actually had a reaction.

A thin layer of sweat broke out on Shen Yan's back.

"Aren't you going to take off your coat?" Zhao Linsu asked.

Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, his hand instinctively tightening his coat. "I'm not hot."

Zhao Linsu had been observing Shen Yan out of the corner of his eye.

Shen Yan was clearly a little uncomfortable.

Maybe it was too hot in the car; his cheeks were flushed.

Zhao Linsu turned off the car's heater.

After getting in the car, Shen Yan had only glanced at him once and then hadn't looked at him again, staring out the car window the whole time.

His lips slightly pursed, Zhao Linsu said softly, "Yesterday..."

Shen Yan's gaze was fixed on the scenery flashing outside the car window, and the back of his ears started to feel hot again.

"The resources weren't found properly, something got mixed in," Zhao Linsu's voice was calm. "My fault."

Shen Yan thought to himself, bullshit, you're admitting your mistake because you damn well want to get with me, but he only gave a dry "oh" in response.

The car was silent. After a while, Zhao Linsu coughed lightly. Shen Yan's peripheral vision instinctively glanced over. Zhao Linsu's coat was very thin.

Shen Yan struggled for a few seconds, took off his coat, and reached to turn the car's heater back on.

While twisting the heater knob, he said, "It's okay, just be more careful next time you're looking for resources."

Zhao Linsu's gaze softened as it fell on the top of Shen Yan's head.

"Otherwise, if something like this happens again," Shen Yan said, lowering his head and retracting his hand from the heater, "it'll be too disgusting."

A sharp pain flashed in Zhao Linsu's eyes, and he slightly held his breath.

Shen Yan crossed his arms and leaned his head against the car window.

His brow was slightly furrowed, his lips lightly pursed, and a hint of distress was faintly visible on his face.

When the car arrived at school, Shen Yan put on his coat and got out. The weather outside was getting colder day by day. He pulled the zipper up to his chin and shivered, turning back to look at Zhao Linsu.

Zhao Linsu was wearing a thin coat, revealing a section of his fair and slender neck. A single-shoulder bag hung from his shoulder, and he looked very clean and neat.

Shen Yan hid his chin in his collar, his eyes secretly peeking, wondering if this pervert was just wearing a T-shirt underneath.

The two of them walked towards the teaching building, Shen Yan holding back his words.

When they reached the bottom of the teaching building, Zhao Linsu suddenly said, "Shen Yan."

"What?" Shen Yan's voice was loud, startling himself.

"Have you forgotten something?"

Shen Yan: "..."

Did this person still want to bring up yesterday's matter? Don't go too far!

"Forget... forgotten what?" Shen Yan stammered a little. "I did forget, and there's no need to remember. It wasn't anything important. I'll forget it as soon as I get back."

Zhao Linsu listened to him quietly, then said, "Have you had breakfast?"

Shen Yan: "..."

Damn it, he really had forgotten.

"I forgot," Shen Yan's face flushed instantly. "I'll go buy some now—"

He turned around abruptly, but his arm was grabbed.

"I'll go buy it," Zhao Linsu said.

"...I'll go buy it, it was my responsibility in the first place."

"You go to the classroom and save seats."

Zhao Linsu let go of his hand and turned to walk out of the teaching building.

Shen Yan wrapped his coat tighter where he stood, fiercely thinking to Zhao Linsu's retreating back: You perverted bastard, freeze to death!

Hot soy milk, black rice cake.

These were Shen Yan's two favorite things to eat on winter mornings.

"Thanks."

Shen Yan tore open the soy milk packaging, thinking that the ancients were indeed right.

Unusual kindness hides ulterior motives.

This person just wanted to "get" him!

Glancing at the person beside him, the classroom had the air conditioning on, and Zhao Linsu had pulled his coat zipper halfway down, revealing the dark T-shirt underneath.

Shen Yan took a big gulp of soy milk, thinking if he were to say, "Zhao Linsu, why have you been wearing T-shirts so often these past two days?" would Zhao Linsu switch to wearing shirts tomorrow?

Amused by his own imagination, Shen Yan lowered his head and chuckled softly.

"I've looked at those papers and documents in the USB drive," Zhao Linsu said.

A trace of a smile still lingered in Shen Yan's eyes. "You finished reading them so quickly?"

"No, I just looked at the table of contents," Zhao Linsu said. "Thanks, I really needed them."

Shen Yan snorted lightly, thinking, and you still want to get with me, is this how you repay a brother's kindness with enmity?

Zhao Linsu saw that his expression was much more relaxed than in the car, and he had just been chuckling. He teased as usual, "What about your Lego? Have you finished building it?"

Shen Yan choked. "Just like you, I built a table of contents."

Zhao Linsu laughed.

Shen Yan shot him a sharp sideways glance.

What's so funny? Was this the attitude towards someone you wanted to "get" with?

Shen Yan recalled their daily interactions and realized that Zhao Linsu had never shown any signs of crossing the line before.

Yesterday's incident and Zhu Ningbo's matter were so close together.

So, did Zhao Linsu think that since Zhu Ningbo could get with Liang Keqing, he could also get with him?

But was he also afraid of not being able to beat him, so he was first testing his attitude?

Shen Yan found this very reasonable.

So, his attitude yesterday...

Shen Yan took two big gulps of soy milk, his face feeling a little hot.

He couldn't give the pervert the wrong impression. He didn't want to be gotten by Zhao Linsu!

But how could he let Zhao Linsu know this?

Shen Yan racked his brains, and when he looked up, he saw Huang Mengxuan and Liao Jing walking in arm in arm.

【sy: Are you there?】

【Ruomeng: ?】

【sy: Can you do me a favor?】

【Ruomeng: If it's a handsome guy's favor, I'll definitely help.】

【sy: I want to spread some rumors.】

【Ruomeng: ???】

Huang Mengxuan created a group chat.

Three people in the group.

【Liao Jing: My wife said you want to spread rumors with her?】

【sy: ...】

【sy: SOS】

【Liao Jing: Can I do it?】

【sy: ?】

【sy: Can you act?】

【Liao Jing: Wait for it.】

Liao Jing really knew how to act.

"This weekend, can I invite you to go to the movies with me?"

Shen Yan looked at Liao Jing's pure and shy face, inwardly exclaiming that women were truly amazing.

"Sure."

Shen Yan agreed immediately, even clearly emphasizing, "Then let's go to the movies together this weekend."

Liao Jing smiled gently, "Our group got an A last time, and I've been wanting to find an opportunity to thank you." She flipped her long hair. "You looked really handsome when you spoke."

Shen Yan: "..." That's enough, any more acting would be over the top.

Liao Jing left.

Shen Yan stood there for a while, then chuckled twice. "Actually, I think she's quite cute, don't you think?"

Zhao Linsu picked up his bag and stood up. "Wasn't it the one next to her last time?"

"Oh, last time, last time there wasn't really anything," Shen Yan puffed out his chest and repeated emphatically, "I'm going to the movies with her this weekend."

Zhao Linsu looked at him and uttered two words, "Approved."

Shen Yan: "..."

Going to the movies didn't diminish Zhao Linsu's enthusiasm to get with him; 【Shen Yan】 was still seen every day.

Shen Yan wanted Liao Jing and Huang Mengxuan to sit with them in class, but then he thought that if Zhao Linsu noticed anything, wouldn't that harm the two girls? Or if the two girls realized that Zhao Linsu wanted to get with him, wouldn't he lose all his face?

So he could only give up on that idea, and he still had a world of two with Zhao Linsu every day.

Fortunately, Zhao Linsu didn't make any more strange moves.

On Saturday morning, Shen Yan posted on his Moments as soon as he woke up.

Information about movie ticket purchases.

A romance movie, two tickets, couple seats.

When posting, it was only visible to Zhao Linsu and Zhu Ningbo.

Anyway, Zhao Linsu would at most discuss it with Zhu Ningbo.

Posting like this would be fine.

As for Zhu Ningbo, he was busy suffering the bitterness of love and probably wouldn't care about him.

The movie tickets were bought by Shen Yan for Huang Mengxuan and Liao Jing, as a thank you to the two girls for their help.

They had also asked him why he wanted to spread rumors.

Shen Yan stammered and didn't say.

Liao Jing said calmly, "Are you trying to dissuade someone?"

Shen Yan: "..."

How perceptive.

"We don't mind," Huang Mengxuan beside her hooked Liao Jing's arm and said sweetly, "but you have to be careful. If the other person has a very strong personality, spreading rumors with someone else might actually provoke their fighting spirit."

Liao Jing also nodded. "The appearance of a rival in love can make people lose their minds."

Shen Yan quickly denied, "It's not what you guys think."

He just wanted to dissuade Zhao Linsu, to let him know his attitude.

He didn't want to be gotten by a man!

Shen Yan posted on his Moments and waited for about a few minutes. Zhao Linsu liked it.

Shen Yan: He better really think it's a good thing.

Relieved, he put his phone away. Shen Yan wanted to go online and play games, but suddenly remembered that he had Zhao Linsu as a friend in every game. He could only reluctantly give up and switched to browsing Weibo.

He was now a hardcore fan of Ge Feng, checking Weibo every day for Ge Feng and Fang Fei's honeymoon photos.

Although Fang Fei had only briefly been his "sister-in-law" for a few days, Shen Yan still really hoped to see her find the happiness she wanted.

He whiled away some time like this.

Shen Yan suddenly received a group message.

【Liao Jing: I don't know if I should say this】

【Liao Jing: We seem to have seen your friend at the cinema】

Shen Yan: "..............."

Shen Yan's fingers trembled slightly.

【sy: The friend you're talking about is?】

【Liao Jing: Zhao Linsu】

Shen Yan: "..."
