◎Two-in-one◎

October 22, 2017 was the anniversary of No. 2 Middle School. The school rarely announced that campus celebration activities would be held on this day, and students could move freely.

The students were very happy to hear this, and they brainstormed what interesting activities they should prepare.

Therefore, it wasn't long before all sorts of activities started happening on campus. Some people set up snack stalls, some sold small items, there were dance club performances, and there were also small activities organized in collaboration between classes.

The whole school atmosphere was filled with joy that day. Students took off their uniforms and put on their favorite clothes. Some girls put on beautiful hairpins and lipstick, making a rare effort to dress up. After all, the teachers wouldn't be checking their appearance that day.

"Damn, Brother Huai, why haven't you changed your clothes yet?" My deskmate Zhang Yitian walked in from outside, wearing a Superman suit in a flashy way, attracting many attentions along the way.

"Zhang Yitian, your shorts are fine, but why aren't they bright red?"

"Brother Tian is awesome, your cosplay is really ingrained in your bones." The other classmates started to make fun of him when they saw his outfit.

"Get lost! Your Sailor Moon is no slouch either." Zhang Yitian gave the other students the finger, walked past them to the desk, put his hand on his deskmate, and said, "Brother Huai, why don't you go change your clothes?"

Chi Huai was wearing a simple black T-shirt and sweatpants, very simple. He raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "Boring." It was obvious that he was not interested in this activity.

"Hey, why are you so bored? This is a cosplay event planned by the class monitor and the monitor of Class 16. Tsk tsk, can we not be so boring?" Zhang Yitian thought of something and continued, "And it seems like the school beauty is in Class 16."

Chi Huai paused holding his phone.

"Brother, the event has started. You really don't want to go?" Zhang Yitian retracted his hand. "If you don't go, I and the others will leave first."

After Zhang Yitian finished speaking, he said to the other boys, "Let's go. The venue is in the gymnasium?"

"Let's go, hurry up, I don't know what the school beauty is cosplaying."

"Okay, let's go." Zhang Yitian was about to go with them when he suddenly felt a shadow standing in front of him. He looked up and saw Chi Huai standing up. The man raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then said, "Let's go."

"Ah, where are we going?" Zhang Yitian replied in a daze. When he met the man's impatient gaze, an idea suddenly occurred to him. "Brother Huai, you should go too. Let's go for a walk. But are you going just like this?"

Chi Huai glanced at him indifferently, his eyes expressing "No?"

"Of course not. Wait for me to find you some props." Zhang Yitian turned to the others and said, "Hey, do you have any props? Give one to our brother Huai."

"Come here, I have two big bows here."

"Brother Tian, ​​your shorts are not very good." The others joked in a nonsensical way, but when they received Chi Huai's calm eyes, their necks lit up and they quickly changed their words, "Hehe, Brother Huai, we are just joking."

"Get lost." Zhang Yitian rolled his eyes at those who were giving him such stupid advice, took a bat-shaped black eye mask from someone else, and handed it to Chi Huai, "Brother, this suits you. Look at how good my taste is."

Chi Huai glanced at the exaggerated costumes of the others, then looked at the eye mask in his hand, reached out to take it and put it on.

"As expected of our brother Huai, the school hunk. He looks even more handsome with his eyes covered." Zhang Yitian walked over, put his hand on Chi Huai's shoulder and spoke.

"Shut up." Chi Huai glanced at him and said.

"Okay, I'll shut up."

Those who were ready followed them and walked towards the gymnasium.

The girl walking behind couldn't help but secretly took out her phone to take a few photos of Chi Huai, and then shared them with the other girls, "So handsome! So handsome that I fainted."

"Where, where, let me see." The other girls rushed over, "Damn, he's really handsome. Even with a mask on, he's even more handsome."

"No, I'm going to post it on the forum so that other sisters can be jealous." The girl did as she said and posted several secretly taken photos on the forum.

All of a sudden, the place was filled with screaming and hollering nymphomaniacs.

[So cool! But is your class doing activities with the school beauties?! What genius came up with this idea? It's amazing! Ladies, hurry up and take a picture of these two gorgeous girls together!]

[Got it. But I haven't seen the school beauty yet, and I don't know what she's cosplaying.]

It was already dark, and some lanterns were hung on the trees in the school. The warm yellow lights gathered together like fireflies.

There were classmates wearing ancient costumes, medieval style clothes, and modern clothes walking under the tree, and for a moment I felt a sense of time and space confusion.

When we arrived at the gymnasium, quite a few students were already gathered there.

"Tsk tsk, the international class is indeed full of handsome guys and beautiful girls." Zhang Yitian touched his chin with his hand, looking lewd.

Chi Huai took his hand away and looked at him with disgust.

Zhang Yitian touched his nose after receiving his gaze, "Hey, everyone has a love for beauty."

"Jinjin, here."

"Here I come." I saw a girl walking towards me from not far away. She had two high ponytails, a short pink tight-fitting short-sleeved top, and shorts, revealing her white and slender legs.

Although her face was painted with that dramatic pale makeup, she still looked lively. There was a black heart painted under the right corner of her eye, which was very charming.

The girl walked past them, attracting everyone's attention to stay on her.

After she walked away, the others came to their senses and started discussing.

Zhang Yitian even exaggeratedly covered his heart and said, "Oh no, Cupid's arrow shot my heart. The school beauty cosplaying as Harley Quinn is so beautiful and cute."

The other boys nodded, "She usually looks aloof, but with two ponytails, she's so adorable."

"Isn't that right, Brother Huai?" Zhang Yitian turned around and said to Chi Huai in a mean way.

Chi Huai withdrew his gaze and did not answer him.

The girls who had just arrived couldn't help but excitedly took some photos of the school beauties and posted them on that thread.

[Here come the sisters, ahhhh, the school beauty cosplaying as Harley Quinn is so cute and cool!]

[I’ve never seen a school beauty with twin pigtails in my lifetime!]

[Where are the photos of them together? Show them up now.]

[We haven't seen these two together yet, but there's still one night left, and I don't believe I can't capture a photo of them together!]

[The sister in front is relying on you.]

"What are you looking at?" Lin Chaojin glanced at Li Yin, who was holding his arm but looking around.

"Look at the handsome guy, it seems like the class of the school hunk is here too." Li Yin said with his eyes rolling.

"Oh." Lin Chaojin glanced around casually, not caring much.

"But I'm saying that you look so charming in this outfit. It's a big change in style." Li Yin's eyes darted around her, admiring her.

After hearing this, Lin Chaojin glanced at her lightly and said, "This is exactly what you want." If Li Yin hadn't been pestering her before, she would not have dressed like this.

"Hehe, then the fact proves that I have a good eye." Li Yin said proudly.

Lin Chaojin curled the corners of his mouth and had nothing to say.

They turned the gymnasium into a party. I don’t know who got the lights from, but it was a KTV style, with red, green and blue lights that blinded people.

But the students didn’t mind, and they became even more excited. After all, what they wanted was the atmosphere.

Chi Huai looked at the group of people dancing wildly, walked to a corner and leaned against the window, playing with his phone boredly.

At this time, a man came over and looked around. It seemed that he also came here to get some peace and quiet.

The person stopped not far from him, leaned against the wall on the other side, looked at him, and stretched out his hand to him, "Classmate, do you want some cherry tomatoes?"

When Chi Huai heard the voice, his gaze paused for two seconds at her ponytails and moved to the palm of her hand, where there were three cherry tomatoes, their bright red color making her hand look even whiter and tenderer.

"Thank you." Chi Huai reached out and took one from her palm. His fingertips accidentally scratched her palm. He withdrew his hand and suddenly clenched the phone with his other hand.

"You're welcome." The girl calmly withdrew her hand, her gaze lingering on his face for a moment. "Are you playing a mask?"

"Yeah." Chi Huai nodded.

"Very handsome." The girl nodded sincerely and praised.

Chi Huai paused, looked at her, and said calmly, "You are also very beautiful."

The girl curled her lips and said, "Thank you."

After two sentences, the atmosphere between the two of them was no longer so awkward, and they started chatting casually.

With a "click", a classmate saw them looking at him, shook the camera in his hand, and said, "Just a random photo." After that, he took the camera and walked to another place to take pictures of other classmates.

The two looked at each other, but neither of them went up to ask the student to hand over the photo.

Not long after, other students came over and said, "Hey, there are two more hiding here. Quickly pull them over to dance with us."

As she spoke, the girl was pulled away by several girls, and Chi Huai was also pulled away by other boys.

The two returned to the stage. From a distance, Chi Huai watched the person dancing in the crowd, her ponytail fluttering freely, and the hazy lights reflected her intoxicating peach blossom eyes.

Chi Huai walked into the classroom and put his schoolbag on the table. His hand accidentally touched the plush pendant and he held it in his hand and squeezed it.

He glanced at the group of boys beside him, who looked listless and in a bad mood, and raised his eyebrows. "Today is Friday, not Monday, right?"

"Oh." Zhang Yitian sighed heavily, and the other male classmates also sighed one after another.

Chi Huai glanced at them and was not in the mood to discuss what happened to them. He put the plush pendant back on the desk and took out the textbook.

"Brother Huai, aren't you sad at all?" Zhang Yitian, who was still sighing, suddenly came over and said with a look of disapproval.

Chi Huai glanced at him, pulled the corner of his mouth, and asked casually: "What are you sad about?"

"Our new campus beauty has transferred to another school!" Zhang Yitian suddenly raised his voice. "Why did she transfer so suddenly? I haven't even had the chance to confess my feelings to her yet."

"Get lost, Zhang Yitian, you idiot, you still want to eat swan meat, you have a nice dream."

"That's right." The other male classmates looked down on him when they heard his shameless words.

"Haha, brother, I'm very handsome." Zhang Yitian was not convinced and talked to them jokingly.

Zhang Yitian looked in the direction of the sound, only to see his brother Huai tearing up a homework. He said in surprise, "Brother Huai, what are you doing? I'm going to tear up your homework. How are you going to explain to the teacher later?"

Chi Huai didn't answer him. He covered his homework and threw it casually to the corner of the table. Then he picked up a bottle of mineral water, drank it in a few gulps, and threw it into the trash can behind him with a "bang".

The sound was so loud that it startled several people in the back row. Everyone looked at each other, wondering what was wrong with Chi Huai.

Zhang Yitian looked at his deskmate's series of actions and was completely confused. He didn't know why his mood suddenly changed. Maybe it was his uncle-in-law who came, Zhang Yitian muttered to himself.

"Brother Huai, are you okay?" Zhang Yitian scratched his head and asked.

"It's okay." Chi Huai replied indifferently, picked up the textbook again and looked at it with his head down.

Okay, Zhang Yitian glanced at him and didn't ask any more questions.

After school in the afternoon, Zhang Yitian packed up his things and glanced at his deskmate sitting on the chair, "Brother Huai, let's go."

"You go first." Chi Huai sat on the chair, his long legs casually draped on the ground, and spoke lazily.

"All right."

When almost everyone in the classroom had left, Chi Huai stood up and picked up his schoolbag. The plush pendant fell to the ground with it. Chi Huai looked at it for a few seconds, bent down, picked it up and put it in his pocket.

As soon as Friday came, the students on campus were like birds out of a cage. They ran away early in the morning, and only a few people were seen.

Chi Huai walked past the honor roll, paused after a few steps, turned around and walked back, looking at the honor roll, and saw the photo of the girl at the provincial English competition.

Even if it is a two-inch photo, she looks much more lively and pleasing than others in school uniform and ponytail.

"Okay, Brother Yang, don't be sad. It's just a girl. Just find another one."

"Get lost." Liu Yang threw a basketball at the man in a bad mood, "How can it be the same?"

The others looked at each other and thought, it's really different. How many of them can compare to the school belle?

"Oh, I transferred to another school suddenly, and I didn't leave anything behind. I even confessed to him several times." Liu Yang said in a bad mood.

One of the boys' eyes lit up when he heard his words. "I suddenly remembered that the school beauty once participated in a provincial English competition and won the special prize. Usually schools would hang this kind of honor on the honor roll with a photo."

"Really?" Liu Yang's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he immediately said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and take a look."

After saying that, they walked towards the Honor Roll, but after looking around, they didn't see any photos of Lin Chaojin, but there were photos of others.

"It's impossible that it's not there. Look, the commendation is still there, but why is the photo missing?" One of the boys pointed to one place and said.

"What else could it be? Some other bastard must have taken it first." Liu Yang gritted his teeth and said sinisterly, "Damn it, don't let me know which bastard took it."

In the morning, Chi Huai opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, his hands on his forehead, his mind empty.

Suddenly there was a noise outside the door. Thinking of that person last night, Chi Huai got up from the bed, washed up and went out.

When he came to the kitchen, he saw the man standing in front of the island with his back to him, watching the coffee machine running. There were two simple sandwiches on the table.

With a "ding" sound, the man picked up the coffee machine and poured a cup of coffee. He turned around and saw him raised an eyebrow, "Is it up?"

Chi Huai's eyes were fixed on her. She was wearing a white shirt that just reached above her knees. The sleeves were too long and were rolled up halfway by her, revealing a pair of jade-like hands.

With her long curly hair draped behind her, she held a cup of coffee, her brows relaxed, like a lazy and proud Persian cat.

Seeing his eyes on her, Lin Chaojin didn't feel embarrassed about being caught wearing someone else's shirt. She placed a cup of coffee in front of him, poured herself another cup, sat down across from him, and said leisurely, "I don't have any clean clothes, so I'll lend you a shirt. Mr. Chi, I hope you don't mind."

Chi Huai withdrew his gaze from her, sat down, and said lightly: "Isn't it enough for you to borrow from me?"

Lin Chaojin listened, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she tapped the cup lightly with her fingers, "Oh, really? I don't remember borrowing anything from Mr. Chi and not returning it."

Chi Huai looked up at her, and the two looked at each other silently.

When the last call came in, they looked at each other, Chi Huai looked away and clicked to answer the call.

Lin Chaojin also lowered her eyes and took a sip of coffee.

After finishing breakfast, Lin Chaojin stood up, looked at him and said, "Mr. Chi, please clean up the dishes." After that, she walked towards the room.

Xiao Yao, hearing the sudden female voice coming from his brother Huai, couldn't help but raise his voice and said, "Brother, you have a mistress hiding in your house so early in the morning." Something occurred to him and he couldn't help but say, "Could it be that young lady? If not, how come you two are on the same variety show?"

It was also after that game that Xiao Yao looked at the trending searches and realized that the woman he had met in Los Angeles before, who had abandoned his brother Huai, was actually on the same variety show as his brother Huai.

Thinking of the abandoned Brother Huai, he recalled that after winning the group stage in Los Angeles, Chi Huai had a gloomy face and drank recklessly during the celebration.

He, several teammates and his agent all looked at each other, looking at this abnormal person.

Xiao Yao realized something at that time. Later, when she saw Chi Huai carrying his luggage and moving back into his previous hotel room and not going out for several days, what else could he not understand? He must have been dumped.

Tsk, I didn’t expect that these two people would meet after going around in circles.

"Are you free?" Chi Huai said lightly.

Xiao Yao choked as he listened over the phone, curling his lips. "But you're not as idle as me, brother. You're still eager to get back at me even after being dumped. He couldn't bear to watch that live variety show. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but said fearlessly, "No, brother, can you be a little more promising?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Xiao Yao only felt the cold air "whoosh" coming through the phone line. She shuddered and realized that she had made a fool of herself. After she finished speaking, without waiting for the other party to speak, Xiao Yao quickly hung up the phone and slapped her mouth, "You are so mean."

"What are you doing?" A teammate came over and saw his actions, looking at him as if he was mentally retarded.

"Nothing." Xiao Yao chuckled and wanted to tell him some gossip about Brother Huai, but then she thought of the previous warning and could only shut her mouth in frustration.

Seeing him like this, his teammates shook their heads and left.

Chi Huai hung up the phone, curled his lips, and said, "What kind of future do you want?"

At this time, Lin Chaojin changed back into her clothes and came out. She stretched out her hand in front of him and said, "My car keys."

Chi Huai looked up at her, prepared to stand up, and said, "I'll take you there."

"No need." Lin Chaojin bent down slightly, put her hand on his shoulder, and moved closer to him, their breaths breathing each other. Looking into his eyes, she said, "You haven't eaten the breakfast I made for you yet. This is the first time I've made breakfast for someone."

After hearing what she said, Chi Huai glanced at the sandwiches and coffee on the table. He paused and did not stand up again. He took out the key from his pocket and handed it to her.

Lin Chaojin took it and said, "Thank you." Then she walked towards the door. After a few steps, she stopped and turned back, saying lightly, "By the way, I didn't wash your shirt. I left it on the bed."

After saying that, he walked towards the door again.

With a "click", Chi Huai heard the door closing, picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. The mellow aroma warmed his heart.

Lin Chaojin drove into the yard, stopped at the same time as another car, opened the door and got out.

Lu Ge opened the door of another car and got out. Seeing his sister getting out of the car, still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, he wondered, "You didn't come back last night? Where did you go?"

Lin Chaojin walked inside slowly with the car keys in hand and said, "I went to Li Yin's place."

"Oh." Lu Ge thought of his sister's best friend Li Yin, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just followed his sister and complained to her, "Sister, you don't know how annoying grandpa is. After you left yesterday, he kept asking me to practice calligraphy."

"You need to practice your handwriting." Lin Chaojin said indifferently.

"It's not even crappy." Lu Ge was not convinced. Although his handwriting was not as good as his sister's, it was not bad either. It had been praised by his fans.

When Father Lin heard what his daughter said, he looked at her, then looked at Lu Ge who had foolishly believed it, and shook his head. How could there be no clothes for her to change when she went to stay at her best friend's house?

"What are you thinking about?" Ms. Lu saw him frowning and looking unhappy, and asked suspiciously.

"I didn't think anything." Father Lin put his hand on her shoulder and walked in, muttering in his heart, don't let him know which brat kidnapped his daughter, otherwise he will break his legs.

Yan Ruo walked down the stairs to the living room. She looked up and saw Yan Sinuo walking in drunk. She frowned and walked over to him, saying, "Where have you been? Do you still remember that you're a celebrity? Don't tell me you've been hanging out with your friends again."

"Who do you think you are, if I ask you to care?" Yan Sinuo took a few steps and said rudely,

"You're not saying nonsense, are you?" Yan Ru was too lazy to pay attention to him. If she wasn't worried that he would get drunk and say something nonsense that would ruin her plan, she wouldn't have the time to care about him.

Yan Sinuo shook his dizzy head, unable to grasp what flashed through his mind. He pointed at her and said rudely, "Do I need you to teach me?"

"Hey, what are you two arguing about so early in the morning?" Yan's mother came down with a man on her arm. Seeing the two of them confronting each other, she glanced at the man's expression and walked down first. She glared at Yan Ruo unhappily and said, "As a sister, you won't give in to your brother."

"Come here, Sinuo, you must have a headache. Auntie will help you upstairs to rest." As she said this, she was about to help him up.

"Get out of here." Yan Sinuo didn't appreciate it and shook off his hand and walked upstairs.

The man just frowned when he saw it, but didn't say anything. Yan's mother withdrew her hand awkwardly and smiled again, pulling the man with her. "Husband, let's go have breakfast first. You still have to go to work."

"Yeah." Father Yan nodded, glanced at Yan Ru, and walked towards the dining table.

"Girl, why are you still standing here? Go make a bowl of sobering soup for your brother." Mother Yan pushed Yan Ru and said.

Yan Ruo walked towards the kitchen with no expression.

A relationship blogger on Weibo reposted a post: "I stumbled across this post, and it's all a little girl's secret crush diary. So sweet and sour, it feels like I'm back in high school, having a crush on someone. A homework assignment, the back of his head, a passing glance—everything makes my heart flutter... Ahhh, it's like the girl has reunited with her secret crush. Hopefully, it'll have a happy ending."

The emotional blogger has hundreds of thousands of followers. As soon as he posts on Weibo, he will soon receive comments from other fans.

[I saw it, and it records some small details about a girl's secret crush in high school from a while ago. Wow, it's so real, exactly like my previous secret crush.]

[It seems that the girl was also an ordinary girl in high school. The person she had a crush on was a popular figure on campus, but she never dared to confess her feelings.]

[Yes, that’s the hardest part. I felt like I wasn’t good enough for him. But now it seems like I’ve become a better girl. I met that boy again. Ahhh! I wonder if they’ll be together!]

[I’m going to follow this girl on Weibo and give her some encouragement. Be brave, you can do it!]

[Add me in front, I want to follow too.]

Tens of thousands of comments and reposts followed immediately. Almost everyone has experienced that kind of secret crush during their school days, so it's the easiest to resonate with others and touch their hearts. Consequently, the popularity of this Weibo post continues to rise.

Yan Ru glanced at the Weibo post and the comments below, and curled her lips.
