Chapter 103: Get Together
Lin Han woke up very quietly, with almost no movement except opening his eyes.
He just turned his head and noticed Jiang Xuchen lying beside his bed, and he didn't dare to move anymore.
Jiang Xuchen had half of his face pressed against the bed, his chubby cheeks were squeezed, his mouth was slightly open, rising and falling with his breathing.
He was probably sitting on a stool, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground in his current posture.
Compared to when Jiang Xuchen was awake, Lin Han felt that he looked more like an exquisite doll when he was asleep. Even from such a distance, Lin Han could see his thick and straight eyelashes trembling gently like a fan.
Perhaps he noticed Lin Han's gaze, he frowned and tried to open his eyes, but he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes so easily.
Lin Han looked at him quietly for a long time before he suddenly started up, straightened up, and sat there in a daze.
Lin Han didn't know how long she had slept, and naturally didn't know how long Jiang Xuchen had slept, but judging from the red marks on his face and his eyes that were unconsciously squinted as if he was swollen from sleeping, he was probably still asleep for a while.
"Are you awake?"
The curtains were drawn in the room, so the light wasn't very bright. Jiang Xuchen's golden hair wasn't particularly dazzling, but it looked fluffy and very nice to touch. However, Lin Han didn't touch it, but just sat up.
"Why are you here with me?" Lin Han said "hmm" and asked him about this first.
Before, it was Alfred who "invaded" his room. Now that Alfred is gone and Jiang Xuchen has taken his place, the security and privacy of this college dormitory are really gone.
Jiang Xuchen winked at him ingratiatingly, moved the stool forward and sat down, resting his elbows on the mattress with his hands supporting his face, and spoke sweetly: "Alfred said you were exhausted in the last dungeon and didn't get enough rest, so I came to sleep with you~ You won't have insomnia with me by your side~~"
Insomnia? Based on his experience in the previous dungeon, he would have fallen asleep even without Alfred's words.
He could accept Alfred messing with him because he had a rough idea of Alfred's behavior, and at least he would help clean him up before letting him rest.
For example, now, Lin Han doesn't feel uncomfortable at all.
Although they were still wearing their previous clothes, "cleaning" should be a trivial matter for Alfred and the others, very easy.
Being able to let Alfred in doesn't mean Jiang Xuchen...
And Lin Han was not mistaken. Jiang Xuchen was deliberately poking his cheeks with his fingers, trying to make the flesh on his face softer and easier to pinch, as if he was seducing Lin Han to take action.
Lin Han: “…”
Just kidding, it's true that he likes cute kids, but cute kids can't just let into a place like the bedroom.
But when he looked at Jiang Xuchen's face, he didn't know if it was because he had just woken up and was still a little confused, but he really felt that Jiang Xuchen was just like those well-behaved children in his imagination, the kind that might even cry if you pinched them hard...
He shouldn't have been mean to him.
If a child shows kindness to him, he should naturally be nicer to him.
It was a very puzzling idea, but it was gradually being accepted by Lin Han's own consciousness, until he saw Jiang Xuchen's new little action - because Lin Han's expression relaxed, the little brat who was getting more and more demanding tried to climb onto the bed.
Lin Han poked his forehead with a finger to stop him.
You can go into the bedroom, but you absolutely cannot go on the bed.
The big and the small looked at each other.
Lin Han: “…”
Jiang Xuchen: “…”
Jiang Xuchen: "Really? I'm very clean... Alfred changed my clothes for me today, and I haven't even been to the ground yet..."
The child's voice sounded aggrieved, and his voice became lower and lower. As he spoke, he looked at Lin Han to see if he had any intention of changing his mind.
Lin Han: "Even clean is not acceptable."
However, Jiang Xuchen's words did remind Lin Han of Jiang Xuchen's daily life. It was true that he was a clean child. After all, he didn't walk his own path. He just stayed in someone's arms every day, and the most thing he did every day was sleep.
It seemed that except for Lin Han, everyone else, including Alfred and Su Fu, everyone Lin Han knew was doting on him. He had always been the odd one out. From the moment he first entered the academy, Lin Han directly called him "Chenchen".
Lin Han remembered that Alfred was a little unhappy because of the way he addressed Jiang Xuchen.
Lin Han almost wondered if she should adapt to the local customs, at least to stop Jiang Xuchen from looking so sad.
He thought about it, but still didn't let him get on the bed. He just reached out and picked him up: "Be good, I'll take you out for dinner later."
He was hungry and ready to go to Alfred's restaurant for dinner.
This was the first time that Lin Han really hugged Jiang Xuchen. It was obvious that children had a higher body temperature than adults. Lin Han hugged him like she was holding a soft and warm little stove. He couldn't help but reach out and pinched her twice.
When the hand was pinched on his waist, Jiang Xuchen was stunned for a moment. He reacted the next moment and twisted his body to avoid it.
"itch!"
Lin Han laughed dryly and put him on the sofa in the living room: "Sit here for a while, I'll go pack up and go out soon."
After saying that, Lin Han went to wash up. He was not very awake yet, but after touching the water, it was as if a warm film covering his body was torn off, and he woke up completely.
When I came out, Jiang Xuchen was sitting on the sofa swinging his legs.
He was wearing a yellow T-shirt, khaki overalls, and a pair of brown leather shoes.
When he swung his legs, the soles of his shoes were inadvertently exposed. Lin Han took a look and saw that they were clean. It was obvious that the noble young master did not step on them when walking.
However, considering the college's hygiene standards, you won't see anything if you step on it.
When Lin Han just came out, Jiang Xuchen didn't seem to notice him. He lowered his head and didn't have the mischievous energy that he had before to climb into Lin Han's bed. Instead, he looked a little sad.
It’s hard to say whether he was sad because she rejected him, but Lin Han really felt a bit indescribable regret.
Actually, it’s not impossible...
This thought appeared in an instant. Lin Han didn't know what was wrong with him. He just inexplicably felt that he was somewhat similar to himself at this moment when he looked down at the monster that had been lying on him in the copy. They were both strange thoughts that suddenly changed.
Lin Han didn't think much about it.
Because at this time Jiang Xuchen had already noticed him coming out, his eyes lit up when he saw him, and he immediately wanted to move closer to him.
He was just eager to try, but didn't actually get down. Looking at his pouting mouth, he was probably waiting for him to come over and pick him up.
This time Lin Han did not disappoint him.
It’s not a big deal to hug the child as he wishes.
Jiang Xuchen is not tall and not heavy, and he doesn't move around. As soon as Lin Han stretched out her hand, he came up obediently and put his arms around Lin Han's neck, helping him to share some of the weight in his hand.
Jiang Xuchen: "...I'm still a little sleepy."
Lin Han: "Then you sleep a little longer, I'll carry you there, and I'll call you when we get there."
Jiang Xuchen hummed softly, and held his arms tighter around his neck.
In fact, Lin Han didn’t think that Jiang Xuchen’s appearance at his side was a surprise. He must have come here for a reason. Considering how much other people loved him, letting him sleep like this lying on the side of Lin Han’s bed was already abuse.
Lin Han really didn't think this idea was an exaggeration.
But Jiang Xuchen didn't say anything. He didn't know and didn't ask. He just let it go.
As soon as Lin Han went out, he ran into Chen Qiuqiu from next door.
Shen Qiuqiu was probably practicing her old routine of "I don't know, I just happened to run into you when I opened the door", and she kept wandering back and forth at the door. When she looked up, she actually saw Lin Han and Jiang Xuchen in his arms.
His mouth opened so wide that an egg could fit in it.
Lin Han: “…”
Over there, Shen Qiuqiu first performed sculpture on the spot for a while, and then saw Jiang Xuchen in his arms with his eyes closed, so he tiptoed over quietly.
He winked at Lin Han and whispered, "I knew it! I knew that Teacher Alfred sent the young master here! I said I was not wrong!"
Lin Han: Well, this guy was sent by Alfred.
What the hell are they planning?
Shen Qiuqiu was obviously an outsider and had no idea what was hidden behind this. He was excited about confirming Lin Han's "true identity" again and the joy of being close to the sleeping young master.
Although he really wanted to do it, he was still quite restrained and did not actually poke his finger into Jiang Xuchen's face.
Lin Han immediately reached out and pinched it, causing Jiang Xuchen, who had his eyes closed in her arms, to hum twice.
It feels great in the hand and is a totally adorable child.
Shen Qiuqiu: “…”
He looked at Jiang Xuchen, then at his fingers, and then mouthed to Lin Han: You seduced me!
Lin Han: So what? The person is lying in front of you. Come and pinch him if you have the guts!
Shen Qiuqiu didn't have the courage and could only stand by sullenly.
Just because they were going out to eat, Lin Han called Chen Qiuqiu over again, thinking that maybe she could rely on Chen Qiuqiu to help Song Ziyi in the future.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Shen Qiuqiu happily agreed, saying only that she would sit next to the young master in a while. No one paid any attention to her and she was happy all by herself.
Lin Han still didn't know why everyone treated Jiang Xuchen like this, so he decided to ask Shen Qiuqiu about it when he came back in the evening.
But there seemed to be a small problem with the pinch he had just given Jiang Xuchen. The child, who had been sleeping well, became restless. Lin Han watched in amazement as Jiang Xuchen flinched in his arms and finally crawled onto his back like a monkey.
Lin Han: “…”
What's going on?
It seems like a lot of people like to run behind him lately.
First, he was followed by a monster in the copy all the way on his back. When Alfred came to rescue him, he directly replaced the monster. Now, he is fine and is carrying Jiang Xuchen on his back.
But Lin Han thought about it and decided not to pull the person down. He just carried him on his back. Maybe it was caused by his pinching.
Carrying Jiang Xuchen on his back and with Shen Qiuqiu following behind, the three of them went to Alfred's restaurant.
The place where Lin Han eats for free.
Lin Han swore that with Alfred's words in mind, he would never go to the free cafeteria next door to eat as long as he was in the new world.
Why? Because Alfred owed him this!
Lin Han: “…”
It’s hard to guess what I owe him.
I inexplicably remembered the Alfred experience card I had wasted.
When Lin Han thought of this, his heart ached even more, and he just wanted to eat more later.
However, things did not seem to develop as Lin Han imagined.
He envisioned going out to eat, taking Shen Qiuqiu and Jiang Xuchen to find a secluded corner like before, eating quietly, and maybe even running into Alfred to deliver the food himself.
If Jiang Xuchen was around, Lin Han felt that this situation was 100% likely to occur.
But it definitely won’t be the case right now.
Lin Han stood at the door of the restaurant. As soon as he stepped in, a waiter came up to greet him: "This way, please."
He was just wondering if Alfred had known he would come and had prepared a seat for him early, when he looked up he saw Su Fu waving at him not far away.
He didn't know anyone except Su Fu.
But Shen Qiuqiu should have realized it, and he stood there motionless, and even Lin Han couldn't pull him away.
Oh, and there was another person he knew, Alfred, who was cooking in the middle, wearing a chef's apron and rolled up his sleeves.
Alfred didn't look up, but Lin Han heard his voice from a fairly long distance.
"The young master said he wanted to eat teppanyaki today, so let's get together here."
Lin Han: “…”
