As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chaoran regretted it.

What kind of question is he asking?

Regardless of what position Jiang Xunmo is in, he should at least ask about Jiang Xunmo's sexual orientation first, right?

If someone likes a girl, asking this question will seem very rude!

Ye Chaoran raised his eyes and met Jiang Xunmo's slightly confused eyes.

Ye Chaoran: “…”

Or should he just run away now?

Just as Ye Chaoran was about to turn around and slip away, Jiang Xunmo whispered, "I don't know."

Ye Chaoran looked at him.

Jiang Xunmo's handsome eyebrows were slightly furrowed. He was half a head taller than Ye Chaoran. He lowered his eyes slightly, and his long and dense eyelashes formed a small shadow under his eyes.

He didn’t know if it was Ye Chaoran’s illusion, but he always felt that Jiang Xunmo’s eyes looked a little swollen today, as if he didn’t sleep well.

"I've never been in a relationship," Jiang Xunmo explained, "and I don't have anyone I like, so I don't know."

After living for seventeen years, I finally found someone pursuing me who was quite good, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding.

Jiang Xunmo pursed his lips.

Not happy.

Ye Chaoran was a little embarrassed. He shouldn't have asked such a question just now: "I, I'm just asking casually, don't take it too seriously."

Jiang Xunmo did not answer. He just looked at Ye Chaoran deeply and said, "Come in first."

Ye Chaoran withdrew his gaze. For some reason, he felt that there seemed to be a hint of condemnation in Jiang Xunmo's eyes when he looked at him.

Did I see it wrong?

Xiao Zhao had already arrived and greeted Ye Chaoran when he saw him.

Ye Chaoran then breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to change his clothes.

Jiang Xunmo looked at Ye Chaoran's fleeing back and pursed his lips again.

Jiang Xunmo found it difficult to describe his mood throughout yesterday.

When Jiang Xunmo first learned that the love letter was not written by Ye Chaoran to him, he didn't believe it.

So he chose to verify it, but he got what he wanted, and it turned out to be true that the love letter was not written by Ye Chaoran to him.

In addition to shock, Jiang Xunmo also felt a faint, indelible sense of loss at that time.

Jiang Xunmo really wanted to be alone and calm down, but who would have thought that Ye Chaoran would send him messages one after another.

He always tells me about everything he does, and even sent me a message before going on stage saying that he was afraid of embarrassing him.

The meaning is very clear. Doesn't Ye Chaoran just want me to go over and cheer him up now?

Jiang Xunmo originally didn't plan to go, but he couldn't bear to do it.

So as soon as Ye Chaoran's performance ended, he hurried back.

After washing up, Jiang Xunmo planned to go to bed, but as soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with the image of Ye Chaoran sitting in front of the piano, playing the piano with a smile.

Very nice looking and handsome.

It’s a pity that I don’t like myself.

When he thought of this, Jiang Xunmo felt a little sour in his nose.

I feel very sad.

He was so confused that he couldn't sleep, but he couldn't figure out what was going on with him.

He had never encountered such a situation before. There were many people who liked him, Jiang Xunmo, but he had no intention of falling in love, so he wouldn't even look at them.

Now Jiang Xunmo still doesn't want to fall in love, but he can't help but care about Ye Chaoran.

There was no other way, Jiang Xunmo could only call his mother late at night.

Ms. Xia Wen was still working overtime late at night and was surprised to receive a call from Jiang Xunmo.

After hearing Jiang Xunmo's question, she was even more shocked.

"So your trouble now is that you can't sleep because you miss your desk mate?" Ms. Xia Wen is very good at summarizing.

Jiang Xunmo: “…”

It seems to be the case, but also it seems like something is wrong.

"You can say that, but I'm not..."

"Then this question is very simple," Xia Wen interrupted Jiang Xunmo, "You have fallen in love with her!"

Jiang Xunmo: "No, I didn't..."

"You are," Xia Wen said, "If you didn't like her, why would you be unable to sleep late at night because of her? And you even called me for help? If this isn't love, then what is love?"

Three questions in a row made Jiang Xunmo a little confused.

Xia Wen smiled and said, "It's normal for you to have someone you like and admire at your age. Son, your dad and I strongly encourage you to fall in love. If you have someone you like, go after them. Don't worry or be afraid. Come on, we will always support you!"

Then Xia Wen ruthlessly hung up the phone.

Jiang Xunmo was half-believing and half-doubting.

For the whole night that followed, Jiang Xunmo kept thinking about this question - does he really like Ye Chaoran?

I thought about it all night but couldn't figure it out.

In the morning, Jiang Xunmo thought that Ye Chaoran might come over. He didn't want to meet Ye Chaoran, so he planned to go out early. However, things turned out to be such a coincidence that not only did they meet, but Ye Chaoran also asked him a strange question.

1 or 0?

He doesn't even have anyone he likes, how would he know?

But Ye Chaoran...

He had someone he liked before.

Jiang Xunmo looked towards the training room. Ye Chaoran had already changed his clothes and was doing stretching exercises with Xiao Zhao.

Then wait until the training is over and ask again.

…

Since there was no class this morning, Xiao Zhao took Ye Chaoran to practice for an extra hour.

At the end of the hour, Ye Chaoran felt tired for the first time in a long time.

"Get up quickly!" Xiao Zhao found it funny when he saw Ye Chaoran lying on the ground and acting like a spoiled child.

Ye Chaoran shook his head, closed his eyes, and rejected it with his whole body.

Xiao Zhao was helpless and was about to go forward to pull Ye Chaoran up when he saw Jiang Xunmo walking towards him.

"Come on, it's a good opportunity for us to lend a hand." Xiao Zhao said.

Jiang Xunmo nodded, and the two of them took one side of Ye Chaoran, held his arms, and forced him to stand up.

A familiar minty scent entered his nose, and Ye Chaoran instantly opened his eyes and tilted his head.

The boy's enlarged facial features were even more handsome, and their heads were so close that they could even feel each other's breath.

Ye Chaoran's heart seemed to skip a beat.

So cool.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"I just want to rest for a while." Ye Chaoran gave a helpless smile.

Jiang Xunmo and Xiao Zhao said in unison: "You can rest while standing."

Ye Chaoran sighed and raised his hands above his head to show that he understood.

Xiao Zhao and Jiang Xunmo let him go.

"Okay, that's all for today. I'm going back." Xiao Zhao waved at the two of them, picked up his clothes and went downstairs.

Ye Chaoran said goodbye to Xiao Zhao, stood against the wall for a while, and turned his head to look at Jiang Xunmo.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the sunlight shone directly in through the floor-to-ceiling windows that covered the entire wall, just wrapping half of Jiang Xunmo's body, making his tall and straight figure look even more upright.

Ye Chaoran always thought that Jiang Xunmo was the aloof school hunk. He had an incredibly handsome face, but gave people a cold and distant feeling that made people afraid to approach him easily.

But once you become familiar with him, and tear off his cold outer layer, you will be able to feel the surging passion inside him, and the gentleness that others cannot see will all belong to you alone.

Such boys are full of charm.

Thinking of this, Ye Chaoran curled his lips.

"Want to eat?"

"I have a question."

They both spoke at the same time.

"What's the problem?" Ye Chaoran asked.

Jiang Xunmo looked up at him, pursed his lips nervously, and then said, "You just asked me, is it 1 or 0?"

The smile on Ye Chaoran's lips froze for a moment.

Isn't this problem already in the past?

Why do you bring it up again?

Ye Chaoran coughed slightly unnaturally: "I just asked casually..."

Jiang Xunmo hummed: "I know, but I just answered you, I don't know, but I don't know what you are."

"Huh?" Ye Chaoran didn't react for a moment.

Jiang Xunmo had no choice but to endure the shame and repeated Ye Chaoran's original question: "I want to ask, are you 1 or 0?"

Ye Chaoran was dumbfounded.

Why did Jiang Xunmo ask himself this question? !

As if he could see what Ye Chaoran was thinking, Jiang Xunmo explained, "I'm just a little curious. Didn't you like Gu Yao before?" When mentioning Gu Yao, Jiang Xunmo's eyes were full of disdain. "I don't have anyone I like, so I don't know my position, but you have had someone before, so you should know, right?"

Ye Chaoran: “…”

Ye Chaoran lowered his head and did not answer Jiang Xunmo's question immediately. Instead, he said, "I didn't like Gu Yao before. I only had..."

After thinking for a while, Ye Chaoran finally found a suitable word: "Appreciation." Ye Chaoran nodded, "Yes, only appreciation. I was young at that time and liked handsome boys with good grades. But now that I think about it, I don't have a special liking for Gu Yao, he just happens to be my type. I admire him more."

But later on, after seeing what kind of person Gu Yao was, I no longer had any admiration for him.

Before his rebirth, Ye Chaoran always thought that he liked Gu Yao. But after his rebirth, he analyzed the situation calmly and found that his feelings for Gu Yao were not actually love.

In his previous life, Gu Yao was the school idol of their school. Ye Chaoran had always liked looking at handsome guys, so of course he would pay too much attention to Gu Yao.

Later, he was "under house arrest" in the Fang family. No one in the Fang family disliked him, and Ye Chaoran lived a very depressed life every day. It was at this time that Gu Yao appeared.

If the person who appeared at that time was not Gu Yao, but someone else, Ye Chaoran would also become dependent on him.

So when he learned the truth, Ye Chaoran was not sad, but only felt angry at being betrayed.

When Ye Chaoran said this, Jiang Xunmo had been looking at him. Ye Chaoran's tone was calm and his expression was serious, and he didn't seem to be lying.

Jiang Xunmo nodded.

That’s right, Gu Yao is not only not as handsome as me, but his academic performance is also not as good as mine.

It’s normal that Ye Chaoran doesn’t like Gu Yao.

"Then what are you?" Jiang Xunmo asked.

Ye Chaoran said: "I'm not too sure... should it be 1?"

What a coincidence, Jiang Xunmo just thought about it carefully. Although he doesn’t have anyone he likes, he seems to be 1 as well.

Jiang Xunmo said: "I think so too."

Ye Chaoran smiled: "That's really a coincidence."

Jiang Xunmo nodded, no longer looking at Ye Chaoran, frowned slightly, and said irritably: "Yeah, what a coincidence."

After breakfast, Ye Chaoran went back. Before leaving, he made an appointment with Jiang Xunmo to have lunch together. Song Ya and Ye Pei were busy today and there was no one at home to cook, so he had to eat out.

Jiang Xunmo had no reason to refuse, so he agreed.

After Ye Chaoran left, Jiang Xunmo picked up his phone and sent a "." to Jiang Ze. It showed that the message was sent successfully. It seemed that Jiang Ze had already removed him from the blacklist.

Jiang Xunmo sent a message: [Brother, what does it feel like to like someone? 】

In order to prevent Jiang Ze from cheating him, Jiang Xunmo specially transferred 5,200 yuan to Jiang Ze.

Jiang Ze accepted the money and happily sent Jiang Xunmo a smiley face emoticon in return.

[Oh, it seems that our iron tree has blossomed! 】

[Wait, I'll send you my love sutra!] 】

After a while, Jiang Ze threw a document over.

Jiang Xunmo clicked save and decided to come back in the evening to study it carefully.

…

Fang Yan waited in the hospital for a whole morning, but Fang Sheng didn't show up. Instead, a nurse came and urged him to leave the hospital as soon as possible.

Fang Yan realized something was wrong and quickly asked, "Discharge? I fainted yesterday. Didn't my brother arrange for me to be admitted to the hospital?"

The nurse glanced at him, thought of what the doctor said last night, and went to ask the head nurse again.

The head nurse came over in person and explained, "Your brother had already completed the discharge procedures for you this morning. Didn't you know?"

Discharge procedures?

Could it be that he pretended to faint last night and was discovered by his brother?

Fang Yan's expression suddenly changed.

He quickly took out his cell phone and called Fang Sheng. The call was connected, but the other end rejected it.

When his guess was confirmed, Fang Yan suddenly felt as if he was in an ice cellar.

Finished.

At this time, Fang Sheng was on his way to No. 1 Middle School.

Fang Yan pretended to faint last night, so his entire attention was on Fang Yan, so naturally he didn't bother to get the gift.

Later, the school leader called Fang Sheng and said that they had collected the gifts for him and asked him when he was going to pick them up.

Fang Sheng originally wanted to say it in two days, but then he thought again, he had planned to apologize to Ye Chaoran yesterday, but was interrupted by Fang Yan, so he might as well go today.

The sooner he apologizes to Ye Chaoran, the sooner he can feel at ease.

As for Fang Yan——

Fang Sheng looked grim.

He would take Fang Yan to consult a psychologist, but right now he really didn't want Fang Yan to disturb his plans, so he rejected his call.

Fang Sheng has already contacted the driver, and the driver will pick Fang Yan up and take him home at noon.

There's nothing serious wrong with his health, so he doesn't need to be so careful.

It was still early when Fang Sheng arrived at No. 1 Middle School. He went to the school leader's office and sat for a while. He also asked the school leader about Ye Chaoran's situation.

The school leaders don’t know as much about Ye Chaoran as Teacher Wang, but what they say is similar to what Teacher Wang says.

Ye Chaoran is very outstanding and is the best student in his second year of high school.

After coming out of the school leader's office, Fang Sheng felt a little lost.

Why was Ye Chaoran, such an excellent child, regarded as a wild child who had no manners, no respect for the elderly and no upbringing in the eyes of his family?

Is there a misunderstanding here, or is it that his family has many prejudices against Ye Chaoran, so they can't see the good in Ye Chaoran?

Fang Sheng's mind was in a mess. He couldn't think clearly or understand, so he decided to go and see it with his own eyes.

He went to Class 1 of Grade 2 and went straight over with the gifts.

Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo came to school after dinner. They arrived early and there were not many people on campus.

"I'm a little sleepy. I'll go to the classroom and take a nap for a while." Ye Chaoran said to Jiang Xunmo.

Jiang Xunmo nodded and suddenly asked, "I remember you said before that you like people with good grades?"

Ye Chaoran thought about what he said in the morning, and was afraid that Jiang Xunmo would misunderstand him, so he quickly explained: "I was naive before, so I thought that way. Now, for me, as long as the person has good character and I get along well with him, I like him very much." Then he glanced at Jiang Xunmo, "Don't take it to heart."

He really doesn't mean to dislike people with poor grades!

Jiang Xunmo nodded and said nothing.

It seems that he can't play games every day anymore. He should just get second place in the grade in next month's exam.

The two of them walked to the classroom door with their own thoughts. Just as Ye Chaoran was about to go in, he heard a strange yet familiar voice: "Chaoran."

Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo stopped at the same time.

Fang Sheng was standing not far from the two of them. When he saw Ye Chaoran, he was the first to smile.

The smile on Ye Chaoran's lips disappeared instantly. He frowned and asked unhappily, "Why are you here again?"

Jiang Xunmo directly blocked Ye Chaoran behind him, glanced at Fang Sheng indifferently, and said to Ye Chaoran: "You go into the classroom first, I will handle it."

Ye Chaoran was originally very annoyed, and after hearing what Jiang Xunmo said, he was a little confused: "What are you dealing with?"

Jiang Xunmo looked at him and mouthed, "Beat him."

Ye Chaoran was instantly happy.

He actually wanted to beat Fang Sheng up, but there had to be a reason to beat someone up, right?

"It's okay, I can handle it myself, you can go back to the classroom first." Ye Chaoran said.

Jiang Xunmo was a little hesitant.

Ye Chaoran walked around him and came to Fang Sheng: "I only have ten minutes to chat with you."

This was said in a particularly impolite manner, and it was a bit harsh in Fang Sheng's ears. If it had been before, Fang Sheng would have felt contempt in his heart without even sulking his face, but this time he did not feel uncomfortable at all.

It must be that his family had offended Ye Chaoran before, otherwise why would Ye Chaoran speak to him in this tone?

So Fang Sheng smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to another place."

"Let's go to the rooftop." Ye Chaoran turned around and went upstairs first.

Fang Sheng hurried to catch up.

Jiang Xunmo watched the two people leave, was silent for a moment, and followed them with some concern.

He won't go to the rooftop, he'll just be guarding downstairs so he can go up and help at any time if the situation gets bad.

Ye Chaoran noticed Jiang Xunmo behind him, he curled his lips but didn't stop him.

After reaching the rooftop, Ye Chaoran asked straight to the point: "What do you want?"

Fang Sheng stared at Ye Chaoran and Fang Yan's faces that were extremely similar. The boy looked at him with undisguised irritation and disgust in his eyes.

Fang Sheng lowered his eyes and finally spoke: "Chao Ran, I came here today to apologize to you."

Ye Chaoran sneered when he heard this: "Apologize?"

Fang Sheng looked a little embarrassed.

He has been a favored child since childhood and the eldest son of the Fang family. He is indeed a little embarrassed to apologize, but Fang Sheng knows that he must be sincere today.

Otherwise, he had a premonition that their family might lose this outstanding child forever.

"Chao Ran, I'm really sorry," Fang Sheng took a deep breath and said again, "I didn't know you well enough before. I didn't know what kind of person you were, so I preconceived that you were that kind of person. I'm really sorry."

"I know there's a reason why you don't like my parents, grandparents, and I didn't know the whole story at the time, so I was a little angry and treated you like that. I..."

"Then you are standing here and apologizing to me now, is it because you know the whole story?" Ye Chaoran interrupted Fang Sheng impatiently, his tone full of doubt.

Fang Sheng opened his lips and said after a while: "No, I still don't know. But I will find out later, and I will also ask my parents, grandparents and... Yanyan to apologize to you. Chaoran, we are your family. Even if you have any opinions about us, don't reject us."

"The door of our Fang family will always be open to you."

Ye Chaoran laughed.

The more Ye Chaoran thought about it, the funnier he found what Fang Sheng said, and his laughter became louder and louder.

The expression on Fang Sheng's face froze, and he looked at the young man in front of him in confusion.

Ye Chaoran laughed so hard that he bent over, and tears even came out of the corners of his eyes.

Fang Sheng was at a loss for a moment.

What he just said...

Is it funny?

Ye Chaoran laughed for about a minute, and finally he stopped laughing.

He guessed the purpose of Fang Sheng's visit today.

Perhaps Fang Sheng learned about his situation from other people, maybe teachers at school, or other classmates. They felt that they were different from the person described by Grandpa Fang, so Fang Sheng thought there was some misunderstanding and came to apologize to him, one to clear up the misunderstanding, and the other to continue to convince him to go back to the Fang family with him.

Looking at Fang Sheng who was at a loss in front of him, Ye Chaoran felt only irony.

In his previous life, after Ye Chaoran returned to the Fang family, he liked Fang Sheng very much at first.

Because he always thought that Fang Sheng was different from the other people in the Fang family. Although Fang Sheng didn't like him, at least he wouldn't be like Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang, who were so blatantly partial to Fang Yan.

At least when Fang Sheng prepared birthday cakes, he would prepare two, and would also give Ye Chaoran a small gift - even though Fang Yan didn't want it.

Ye Chaoran was very content and knew how to give back, so he began to try to please Fang Sheng.

Get up early to make Fang Sheng a cup of coffee, help Fang Sheng with his laundry, or put his slippers in place as soon as Fang Sheng gets home from get off work.

Just when Ye Chaoran thought that he and Fang Sheng had finally gotten closer, he accidentally heard Fang Sheng coaxing Fang Yan:

"How could my brother like him?"

"You are my only brother, Yanyan."

"Whenever Ye Chaoran gets close to me, I feel sick..."

Only then did Ye Chaoran realize that they were all the same.

No one in the Fang family likes him.

As for the heart transplant, Fang Sheng was most likely unaware of it. It was something Ye Chao figured out slowly afterwards.

Old Master Fang seemed to understand that this matter was a serious sin, so before Ye Chaoran and Fang Yan were about to have surgery, the old man found a way to trick Fang Sheng to go abroad.

Thinking of this, Ye Chaoran suddenly thought with some evil interest, what would he do if Fang Sheng knew the true identity of his beloved brother and his beloved family?

Would he still have the audacity to ask me to go home with him?

Ye Chaoran looked at Fang Sheng and slowly curled his lips: "It seems you still don't know."

Fang Sheng was stunned: "Know what?"

Ye Chaoran looked serious and said in a serious tone: "I changed my mind. I thought ten minutes was enough to talk to you before, but now I want to spend more time."

Fang Sheng's expression froze. For some reason, he felt that what Ye Chaoran was going to say next would overturn all his previous understandings. He looked at Ye Chaoran with some uneasiness.

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Chaoran opened his mouth, Fang Sheng froze in place -

"Did you know that your Fang family's old house in City A has two basements?"

The author has something to say:

You are late! Xiao Jiang’s good grades are not just a glitch, he really has good grades. I will explain it later!
