Chapter 11

On the playground, Zhuge Xiao sat on the rest steps beside the track with his legs apart, a sly smile on his face.

He was surrounded by a group of curious students, all of whom focused their attention on his phone screen, listening attentively, waiting with bated breath -

"Let me make it clear first. I'll only let you hear it once," Zhuge Xiao cleared his throat and said solemnly again, "This is a roommate benefit. I contributed it because we are both members of the Savior Support Group. Anyone who leaks the secret will be a traitor to the club! Do you hear me?"

Everyone nodded in unison and swore an oath.

"It's been sent, it's been sent!"

Seeing the voice message suddenly refreshed on the screen, the students began to make a noise. Zhuge Xiao hurriedly shouted, "Don't worry, don't worry. Everyone, be quiet! Be quiet and listen together!"

He turned up the volume to the maximum and clicked on the nine-second voice message - why did the word "Dad" take nine seconds?

Just as this question flashed through Zhuge Xiao's mind, he heard a familiar deep voice coming from the receiver of his mobile phone:

"Guliang has gone outside to fetch water. Remember to come back early after you finish fetching food. The red shorts you hung on the balcony were blown onto the branches of the trees outside by the wind."

Zhuge Xiao: “…………”

silence.

Pale silence.

The afternoon sun was bright and brilliant, and Yi Yan's deep and magnetic voice echoed over the playground for a long time.

The students who were running on the track stopped and turned to look at the source of the sound, while Zhuge Xiao, sitting in the crowd holding his mobile phone, seemed to have turned into a cold stone statue.

The expressions of the people around him looked like they were constipated, and their faces turned red little by little, visibly.

Zhuge Xiao gritted his teeth, slapped his thigh, and stood up, unable to bear it any longer:

"Don't laugh! This is my zodiac year, isn't that enough?"

As the ancients said, "A blessing in disguise."

The good news is that Zhuge Xiao successfully saved his precious zodiac luck charm.

Unfortunately, he was too late.

The photo of the red shorts hanging on the tree branch had been uploaded to the forum before he came back, and successfully became one of the top ten hot topics on campus this month. Someone even wrote a poem about it:

The red plum underpants are hanging on the branches, they look like they are floating in the air, so elegant!

But what drove Zhuge Xiao crazy the most was that the instigator of the "Pants Gate" incident actually dared to laugh at him in person!

Late at night, Yan Beichen, who was holding his phone and almost dying of laughter, was strangled by the furious Zhuge Xiao, who strangled him viciously:

"Yan Lao Er, I will kill you ah ah ah ah - give me back my innocence!!!"

These two have been making a lot of noise all night, making it like a world war.

Gu Liangyi poked his head out from the upper bunk helplessly: "The bed is almost falling apart because of you two. It's late at night, please be quiet. Brother Yi has to get up early tomorrow."

As he spoke he glanced at the bed next to him.

Yi Yan and he shared the upper bunk, and they slept head to head.

At this moment, Yi Yan was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, resting his arm on one side.

There was a copy of "Chu Ci" next to his pillow. The lines on his arms were particularly obvious as he was lying on his back with his neck as the pillow. Perhaps he was a little hot after taking a shower, so he didn't even cover himself with a quilt. His tight black vest was slightly rolled up, revealing his fair and slender waist and the shape of his abdominal muscles.

When people relax, their muscles are actually very soft.

In addition, Yi Yan has fair skin. Under the light, he looks like a perfectly carved piece of white jade. When people see him, they can't help but imagine what his chest and abdominal muscles feel like.

Gu Liangyi was bewitched by this thought and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Yi Yan opened his eyes just at this moment, and his dark and deep eyes met his gaze directly.

...has been discovered!

He hastily looked away, and at that moment another howl came from below:

"Do you think I don't want to sleep? I just can't sleep!"

Zhuge Xiao complained angrily, "Damn it, I thought who was so wicked as to take photos and post them on the forum. Well, after all this time, it turns out that it was someone from our own group who rebelled! Brother Yi, Boss Yi, you are the dormitory head. There is a traitor in our dormitory. Tell me, are you going to intervene or not?"

Yi Yan's gaze kept following Gu Liangyi's position.

Seeing that he deliberately turned his head away and didn't look at him, the young man curled his lips imperceptibly, closed his eyes again, and placed one hand casually on his abdomen, as if he was asleep.

Faced with Zhuge Xiao's attempt to drag him into the trouble, Yi Yan remained silent, as if he were deaf.

But Gu Liangyi knew that he was just pretending to be asleep and was simply too lazy to pay attention to these two idiots.

"Brother Yi, you need to do justice for me!" Zhuge Xiao continued to yell, "Gu Liang, come and judge for me, does he deserve a beating?"

Hearing this, Gu Liangyi asked curiously, "The forums are all anonymous, how did you find out that it was Brother Yan who posted the photo?"

"Who else but him would name himself 'I am 1.96 meters tall'! He would like to carve this number into his family tree!"

Gu Liangyi: “…………”

It made so much sense that he couldn't refute it.

"It's almost eleven o'clock," Yi Yan finally said after a while, "It's time to turn off the lights. Third brother, stop making noise and go turn off the lights."

Perhaps it was because Yi Yan usually gave people the impression of being too steady and reliable, so even the most noisy Zhuge Xiao listened to him. He snorted, glared at Yan Beichen fiercely, climbed down from the bed and went to turn off the lights.

The dormitory finally became quiet after the lights were turned off.

In the deep night, Gu Liangyi couldn't sleep.

What about Yi Yan? He tossed and turned, unable to control his thoughts, could Yi Yan also not sleep?

The outside world is basically an unknown and mysterious area for human beings. There may be murderous intentions lurking everywhere. Will he feel uneasy because of this?

Apparently Gu Liangyi wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep. After a while, Yan Beichen asked in a low voice from the lower bunk:

"Brother Yi, are you asleep?"

His voice was still a little rough and hoarse, but after laughing all night and being pinned down in the quilt by Zhuge Xiao and having his neck pinched for a long time, it would be strange if his voice wasn't hoarse.

Gu Liangyi pricked up his ears quietly.

"No," Yi Yan said calmly, "What's the matter?"

"Tomorrow..." Yan Beichen paused and said, "Remember to be careful."

"knew."

"Principal Zong seems to have said that the flag-raising ceremony will be held at 6 o'clock this morning? Students are welcome to participate?" Zhuge Xiao's voice came from the other side of the lower bunk. His voice was very distinctive, with a lazy and slightly hoarse tone. "What time should the three of us set the alarm? After all, this is Boss Yi's first expedition ceremony, we can't just give him face."

"About half past five." Gu Liangyi said.

"Need not."

In the darkness, Yi Yan seemed to sigh.

The voice was so soft that Gu Liangyi, who was less than a foot away from him on the upper bunk, suspected that he had heard it wrongly.

"Just sleep, there's no need."

"Brother Yi, we are not discussing this with you," Zhuge Xiao said with a smile, "Didn't you hear me? I said 'the three of us', not including you."

“…………”

Yi Yan stopped talking and seemed to let them do as they pleased.

"Then let's do it at half past five," Zhuge Xiao decided when no one objected. "I'll set the alarm. Everyone remember not to lie in bed then."

In fact, it was not just Gu Liangyi and the members of the special operations team who were physically exhausted during this period. It really takes willpower to get up so early when the body is overloaded.

It's just that everyone tacitly didn't mention it.

Given Yi Yan's personality, even if he knew this, he would not point it out specifically.

Some things are better left in your heart.

Gu Liangyi took off his glasses, folded them and placed them next to the pillow.

In the darkness, he turned over and lay facing the wall, his fingertips gently stroking the tiny marks inside the frame, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly.

In college, I also made friends I can trust.

...Did you see it?

The next day.

Before dawn, Gu Liangyi climbed out of bed.

Zhuge Xiao, who was sleeping on the lower bunk, huffed and turned off the alarm clock, then said "good morning" to him in a half-dead voice.

He was confused: "No, you're not sleepy at all?"

"fine."

Gu Liangyi was the kind of person who couldn't rest well if he had something on his mind, but he was born with this kind of thoughtful personality and had a light sleep. In addition, Yan Beichen would occasionally snore at night, so he actually didn't sleep much last night.

In order to avoid appearing too tired today, he went downstairs to make himself a cup of sugar-free coffee.

"Anything else?"

Yi Yan's voice came from the side, a little hoarse and low, just like waking up early in the morning.

Gu Liangyi raised the cup to his lips, turned his head and looked at him with wide eyes for a few seconds. When Yi Yan patiently repeated it again, he suddenly reacted:

“Yes, yes, yes!”

"Brother Yi, do you drink coffee too?" He reminded him as he used Yi Yan's cup to make coffee, "Mine is pure American coffee, which may be a little bitter, and most people can't get used to it."

Yi Yan took it and took a sip.

“…………”

He didn't say anything, but silently took a bottle of Wangzai milk from the drawer and mixed it into the coffee.

Gu Liangyi coughed and used the action of drinking coffee to hide the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Unlike her appearance, she is actually a sweet person.

However, Yi Yan was very efficient. Before Gu Liangyi had even finished his cup of coffee, he had almost finished cleaning up.

The curly-haired young man in the mirror was dressed in standard high-tech combat equipment from head to toe:

Inside the contact lens of his left eye is a miniature data panel that only he can see, which is used to scan images and upload them back to the school. The provider is an intelligence agency of the Bald Eagle Country;

The ring on the middle finger of the right hand is equivalent to a mini Swiss Army knife. It can also be used to unlock and record and transmit special band audio when necessary. This is a derivative peripheral series of Huaguo Mobei Heavy Industry. It is said that the person who invented it is a senior who graduated from the previous Tang class.

There are also high-pressure waterproof laser rangefinder watches made by a Nordic country, heavy combat folding military daggers produced by the Sakura Country, and portable high-explosive fragmentation grenades from the Bear Country...

Everything else was fine, but Yan Beichen's eyes were a little wide open when he looked at the high-explosive grenade.

"No, isn't this a portable suicide device? It turns both you and your enemies into hedgehogs... There is a difference between the special action team and the suicide squad, right?"

"It's fake." Yi Yan said as he fastened the Glock around his waist. "This is a bomb, but it was produced in the shape of a high-explosive mine."

Even if he trusted him, Instructor Jiao would never let him bring the grenade back to the dormitory.

If this were to explode, all of humanity would explode with it.

Yan Beichen laughed dryly: "I think so."

After putting on tactical gloves, Yi Yan inserted something similar to a hose into his chest pocket in front of Gu Liangyi, leaving only a detection head less than the size of a peanut exposed.

Gu Liangyi didn't understand what this thing was used for at first, until Yi Yan knocked on his drawer calmly before leaving the dormitory.

Inside was the wireless monitoring screen that Yi Yan gave him yesterday.

It dawned on him.

This thing is actually a miniature camera!

"I regret it." Zhuge Xiao said suddenly.

His tone was full of regret. "I should have signed up for the special operations team like Brother Yi. Even if I died heroically, I will be handsome forever. And with Gu Liang here, my heroic figure will definitely be seen by beautiful women all over the world. By then, my family tree will even have a separate page for me."

Yan Beichen sneered: "What is your obsession with the family tree... But don't worry, not only beautiful women, but people all over the world will definitely remember you now. After all, there are many grown men wearing red shorts, but you are the only one in the world who still wears Ultraman-signed red shorts after reaching adulthood."

Yi Yan sighed, stood outside the door and gave Gu Liang a look.

Gu Liang understood what he meant and followed him out of the dormitory, closing the door rudely.

"Do you believe in light? The pants will give you the answer! Hahahahahahaha..."

Inside the dormitory, Yan Beichen's extremely arrogant laughter soon came to an abrupt end.

Gu Liangyi said meaningfully outside the door, "I'll wait for you at the playground," then quickened his pace to catch up with Yi Yan in front of him, and by the way, he made the sign of the cross for Yan Beichen in his heart.

Buddha cannot save those who are planning to die, may God bless you.

Amen.

When the two of them reached the edge of the playground, Yi Yan suddenly stopped and said thoughtfully, "I heard on the forum that shaking hands with you will give me a lucky buff?"

Gu Liangyi: "...No, and it sounds like this is just made up."

"Really?" Yi Yan curled his lips, and suddenly patted his head with his hand wearing tactical gloves, and rubbed it silently. His movements were exactly the same as when Gu Liangyi petted the cat before.

"Then wait until I come back to verify it," he said.

Gu Liang's eyes widened, and before he could react, Yi Yan waved his hand with his back to him and walked towards the queue in front.
