laugh at
In the corner of the teaching building, the "straight-ball, coquettish, and begging for comfort" drama had just ended, and Jiang Yibai contentedly embraced his obedient wife and left. As they left, two suppressed, distorted "whoops" sounds immediately erupted from behind the green belt nearby.
Lu Panji and He Yunling's heads popped out from behind the holly bushes, their faces flushed red and their shoulders shaking like sieves.
"I...oh my god..." Lu Panji was the first one who couldn't help himself. He pounded his chest to catch his breath and laughed so hard that tears were about to come out. "Did you see that? He Yunling, did you see that? That...that's Jiang Yibai? Huh? Is that Jiang Yibai?"
He Yunling wasn't much better. He held his knees and laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. His usual calm demeanor was completely gone. "See... I saw it... 'I'm unhappy~~'," he pinched his throat and imitated Jiang Yibai's sticky tone very poorly, the ending tone trembling miserably, "'Xi Yan~~ I'm jealous~~' Hahahaha!"
This imitation made Lu Panji laugh even harder. He collapsed on the curb next to him and pounded the ground, laughing wildly: "Hahaha, help! He even rubbed my shoulder! He actually rubbed my shoulder! Like a big dog! Oh my god! Who the hell is this? I don't know him!"
He Yunling also sat down next to him, laughing so hard his stomach hurt: "What was he like before? Huh? Like that person who was always angry and ignored everyone? Who ate him? What was that just now? A reincarnation of a spoiled child?"
"I can't take it anymore, I have to slow down..." Lu Panji wiped the tears of laughter and took several deep breaths before he could barely suppress his smile, but the corners of his mouth were still curled up wildly. "How do you think Lin Xiyan could bear it? Huh? Just like that, I got goosebumps all over the floor!"
He Yunling shrugged, with tears in his eyes: "Didn't you see that Lin Xiyan's ears are so red that they are about to bleed? He must be unable to bear it anymore. But... it seems that he really falls for his tricks?" He thought about the little action of Lin Xiyan just now, which showed that he was at a loss but finally indulged and even responded a little clumsily.
When this was mentioned, the laughter between the two of them subsided a little.
Lu Panji stroked his chin, his expression becoming a bit playful, yet also a bit emotional. "Honestly, Old He, could you have imagined Jiang Yibai becoming like this? That he would... do this to someone?"
He Yunling shook his head, his tone becoming more serious. "I can't imagine. You know what he was like before. He ignored everyone, as if the whole world owed him money. Besides the two of us, who else did he talk to?"
"Yeah," Lu Panji sighed, "I felt that he treated Lin Xiyan differently, but I didn't expect it to be so different..." He paused and lowered his voice, "But this is a good thing, right?"
He Yunling didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked towards the entrance of the teaching building where Jiang Yibai and Lin Xiyan had disappeared. The playfulness in his eyes slowly faded, tinged with a complex emotion. There was surprise, teasing, but most deeply, a sense of relief.
"It's a good thing." He nodded affirmatively. "When have you ever seen Jiang Yibai so... lively? I always felt that he was holding back, cold, and uninterested in anything. Now..." He smiled. "Even though it's so corny that it makes me want to beat him up, at least he seems like a living person with emotions."
Lu Panji also agreed: "And look at Lin Xiyan, what was he like when he first came here? He was like a ghost, falling down at the slightest breeze. Anyone who looked at him was afraid he would break into pieces. Now..." He tried to recall, "It seems... he can look up now? Although he still doesn't talk much, he doesn't feel so... so empty anymore?"
The two were silent for a moment, both knowing in their hearts who was responsible for this change.
"Well," Lu Panji suddenly laughed again and nudged He Yunling with his elbow. "Anyway, it's quite fun to see Brother Jiang like this. I'll have something to laugh about in the future."
He Yunling also raised his lip corners: "Yeah. It's just a little bit hard on the teeth, too sour."
"Hahaha, that's right!" Lu Panji thought of the scene just now and laughed uncontrollably, "No, I have to learn it again - 'You have to coax me~~ Otherwise I can't eat~~' Ouch!" He imitated it so exaggeratedly that he got goosebumps all over his body.
He Yunling was amused by him and laughed out loud again.
Two young men sat on the curb, looking at the empty corner with unruly smiles. The sunlight shone on them, full of fresh breath.
After laughing enough, Lu Panji rubbed his cheeks, which were sore from laughter, and suddenly asked, "Hey, do you think Brother Jiang realized how... that was?"
He Yunling raised an eyebrow. "Look at how he acted so confidently and coquettishly just now. Does he think there's something wrong with him? I guess in his mind, whatever he did to Lin Xiyan was natural and justified."
"That's right," Lu Panji imagined Jiang Yibai's "I'm just like this as my wife" behavior and couldn't help laughing again, "She's trapped, definitely trapped, it's unbearable to watch."
He Yunling stood up and patted the dust off his pants. "Let's go. If you keep watching, you'll get stye. Anyway..." He paused, his tone relaxed. "It's good that someone can cure him."
Lu Panji also jumped up, hooked his arm around He Yunling's shoulders, and walked towards the teaching building while still chattering back: "But seriously, he was really jealous just now. His face was as dark as hell. He just went up and took the person away. Is this a declaration of sovereignty..."
"Nonsense, wouldn't you be jealous if it were you?" He Yunling glanced at him. "I finally managed to raise Xiao Baicai, who looked a bit like a human, and she was almost kidnapped by another pig... Oh no, Wen Chijing was a pretty good guy... Anyway, she was almost abducted. How could I not be anxious?"
"Hahaha, you're right! Jiang Yibai's old house is on fire, there's really no way to save it..."
The laughter of the two gradually faded away and blended into the early morning noise of the campus.
On the other hand, Jiang Yibai didn't feel like he needed to be "cured" at all. He was in a very good mood, and his arm around Lin Xiyan's shoulders never loosened. He walked through the crowd, ignoring all the surprised and curious glances, and walked straight to the classroom door.
"Wait for me after class." He let go of her hand, but his fingertips still hooked Lin Xiyan's finger reluctantly, and his tone was so natural as if he was saying that the weather was really nice today.
The heat on Lin Xiyan's face had not completely subsided. He lowered his head, said "hmm" very softly, and quickly slipped into the classroom.
Jiang Yibai looked at his somewhat panicked back, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. He didn't turn around until the figure disappeared behind the door, and then he turned around and slowly walked towards his classroom. All the way, his mind was still replaying the way Lin Xiyan's ears were red and she was clumsy coaxing him.
Tsk, so cute.
As for being laughed at wildly by childhood friends?
He didn't take it to heart at all. He even thought that it was fine for them to laugh while he hugged his wife and not interfere with each other.
