Yuan Xiu found that Chu Yan became happy again, and he was always missing. Chu Yan explained that he was addicted to studying, but Yuan Xiu thought there was something fishy going on and suspected that he was in love.
After a month of close observation, Yuan Xiu became confused again.
No, there was no suspicious boy or girl around Chu Yan, except that Chu Yan's relationship with Xiang Kun suddenly improved. Of course, it was only slightly better. Although the two began to communicate, the scene of the communication always made people sweat.
"I told you I'm busy this weekend, so I'm not going!"
"Meet at 9am. Remember to have breakfast before going out."
"Chu San, don't you understand what I'm saying? I said I'm busy and I won't go!"
"It seems that you want me to pick you up at your house. No problem. I will be there on time."
Xiang Kun couldn't help but slam the table and stood up, angrily saying: "Chu San, do you want to fight?"
Yuan Xiu silently held his heart tightly and rubbed it back. The students around him all looked over and even forgot to eat.
"No loud noises are allowed in the cafeteria. Sit down and eat." Chu Yan seemed to be deaf and blind. He didn't notice that Xiang Kun had exploded. He reached out and pulled him down. He also pushed his juice over and said, "Drink some to calm down."
Xiang Kun got up and left.
Chu Yan chased after him skillfully.
The two men ran away one after the other, leaving Yuan Xiu alone to face the three servings of lunch on the table and the gazes of the students in the cafeteria. He smiled awkwardly and silently decided that next time if he eats with Chu Yan and Xiang Kun again, he must order a private room!
As a result, Xiang Kun showed up on time on the weekend, without Chu Yan picking him up, and he was very supportive and played with Chu Yan and Yuan Xiu all day.
The end of the semester came in a blink of an eye, and as soon as Chu Yan got the invitation form for his teammates, he ran to the practice building of the Mecha Manufacturing Department.
"He's so aloof all the time, and the teacher takes extra care of him. This is probably the privilege of being a child of a big family."
"I heard that he has been trying to make advanced mechas. He goes to the mecha driving department every day to find students to help him test the mechas, but he has never been successful. I don't know how long he will continue to overestimate his own abilities. Oh, it's so annoying. I really don't want to be in the same class with Xiang Kun."
Bang!
Chu Yan, who happened to be passing by, couldn't help but kick open the door of a laboratory. He glanced at the two students who were looking at him in shock and the intermediate parts on the operating table, and said, "If you want to transfer classes, go find the teacher yourself. Next time you say bad things about others, remember to close the door. If one day you are good enough to make advanced mechas beyond the syllabus, the teacher will take special care of you!"
The two students were shocked by Chu Yan's murderous eyes. Just as they were about to say something to soften the tone and explain, Xiang Kun appeared behind Chu Yan.
"Let's go, let's eat."
Xiang Kun glanced at the two classmates who were frightened by Chu Yan in the laboratory, and held Chu Yan's shoulders. He found that his muscles were as tight and hard as a rock. He frowned and patted him, saying, "Relax, hand, do you want to eat or not? If not, I'll go by myself."
Chu Yan finally turned around to look at him, and closed the door of the laboratory so that he could not see the two people in the room. His expression slowly returned to normal, and he said with a breath held back: "I spoke for you, but you didn't even plan to have dinner with me. Do you consider me a friend? Also, aren't you angry when others say that about you? Didn't you scold me very well before? Why didn't you scold them just now!"
"No."
Chu Yan was stunned, suspecting that he had heard something wrong. He frowned and glared at him, and asked fiercely, "What did you just say?"
Xiang Kun raised his hand and scratched his head, turned around expressionlessly, put his hands in his uniform pockets, and replied: "I said I'm hungry, either follow me to eat, or get out, it's your choice."
"You!" Chu Yan covered his head. Seeing that he was really about to leave, he hurriedly chased after him and said angrily, "Xiang Kun, you actually hit me. Come back and let's fight!"
Naturally, the one-on-one duel did not take place. For the first time ever, Xiang Kun did not refuse Chu Yan's invitation. After Chu Yan took out the teammate invitation form, he took it very naturally and filled in his name and major class number.
Chu Yan felt a dreamlike sense of unreality in his heart and stared at his face, as if he wanted to figure out something.
Xiang Kun tried to remain calm, but his ears turned red uncontrollably. He quickly picked up a glass of juice and drank it to cool down. He frowned and said, "What are you looking at? Do you want to fight?"
"You drank my juice." Chu Yan had a strange expression.
Xiang Kun was stunned, suddenly put down the cup, stood up and left.
Chu Yan did not chase after him this time. His eyes fell on the cup left by Xiang Kun. His heart suddenly felt like it was growing weeds, and he always felt that something seemed to be wrong.
A few days later, Xiang Kun once again took his newly made mecha and asked his classmates in the mecha driving department to help him test drive it. However, after pushing open the door of the training ground, he did not see the classmates he had made an appointment with, but only saw Chu Yan leaning against the wall.
"I heard that you have been researching small mechas recently. Why didn't you ask me to test drive them? That's my strong point."
Chu Yan stood up and walked over, holding out his hand to him with a cocky expression, and said, "Where's the mecha? Give it to me. I'll test drive it for you, and you buy me a meal. It's settled."
Xiang Kun was stunned, looking at the curve of his lips, reaching into his pocket and tightly grasping the space button of the mecha, thinking of [Knight], thinking of his countless failures before, and thinking of the fact that Chu Yan had always used the best things since he was a child. Suddenly, he felt sad and depressed. He pursed his lips, turned around and wanted to run.
"You failed before because the test driver was not good enough." Chu Yan suddenly grabbed his arm, reached out his other hand into the wide pocket of his uniform, held his hand and pried it open little by little, still with a smirk on his face. After a snort, he said, "How can someone with insufficient skills test drive? Remember to watch me carefully."
After saying that, he forcibly took the mecha space button from him into his own hand, turned around and walked to the training ground, took out the mecha, whistled, and praised: "Silver gray, I like it." After saying that, he got on the mecha neatly and lit it up directly.
There seemed to be still the warmth of the other party on his hand. Xiang Kun raised his eyes and looked at the silver-gray mecha that was performing basic movements on the field. It seemed as if something was stuck in his throat, choking him so much that he couldn't utter a word.
Remember to look after me.
He recited these words silently, tightened his grip on the electronic notebook, and sat down in the spectator seat.
The test drive was very successful, although Chu Yan accidentally destroyed the arm of the mecha.
"I said that the test drivers you found before must be not good enough. How could it be that the mecha you made is not good enough?" Chu Yan jumped out of the cockpit with sweat all over his body, waved to Xiang Kun in the spectator seat, and laughed heartlessly: "I broke the arm of your mecha, can I compensate you with a meal?"
Okay, why not?
Xiang Kun raised his hand to smooth his bangs, using this action to block the overly bright smile on Chu Yan's face. He nodded slightly, and moved his fingers to cover the test drive record about the design error of the mecha's elbow joint on the electronic notebook.
The final exam arrived in a blink of an eye. Chu Yan and Xiang Kun cooperated well, completed the task ahead of schedule, and got first place.
After the holiday, Chu Yan went to the military for internship with Chu Rong and temporarily lost contact with his friends. After some rest, Xiang Kun officially started to get involved in the production of special-grade mechas.
Work hard.
He stood in front of the operating table, looking at the design drawing of a small silver-gray mecha projected in the air, and slowly clenched his fist.
Even if I can never be as good as "The Knight", it must at least be better than anyone else's work. If I can't be the first choice, I hope I can be the first alternative.
Time passed quickly, and school started again. Chu Yan jumped down from the hovercraft with full energy. Seeing Xiang Kun just passing by the school gate, his eyes lit up and he rushed over happily, saying, "Xiang Kun! I'm going to the empire on a mission this time. General Netasi will take me..."
Xiang Kun stopped and looked back, looking at the high-spirited Chu Yan, and his deliberately cold face softened unconsciously.
The days passed by in the noisy and noisy atmosphere. Chu Yan's mental strength and physical strength were upgraded to SS level, and he always occupied the first place in the mecha driving department and the command department. Xiang Kun also became more and more outstanding. He was already proficient in making advanced mechas and obtained many patents of his own. He left all his classmates far behind and became the well-deserved number one in the mecha manufacturing department.
The young boys who were once so outstanding have grown up to be outstanding and dazzling, and then stood side by side on the podium as representatives of outstanding graduates.
"Thank you, my good partner. He deserves half of my honor!" Chu Yan shouted while holding up the certificate and hooked his arm around Xiang Kun's shoulder.
Xiang Kun smiled faintly, and did not wave his arm away out of respect. He just lowered his voice and said, "Would you like to give me half of your small treasury?"
Chu Yan tightened his arms, changed from hooking to strangling, and lowered his voice and replied: "I can give you all, but you have to support me."
The faint smile on Xiang Kun's face froze, and then he elbowed him from behind and said with a sneer, "If you make too much noise, you might end up losing money."
In the audience, Xiang Lingzhi and Chu Huai looked at the "intimate" interaction between Chu Yan and Xiang Kun with great emotion. Thinking of their troublesome childhood, they suddenly felt a bit of "fate is wonderful" in their hearts.
After graduation, Chu Yan joined the military, while Xiang Kun began to get involved in the family business, preparing to inherit the Xiang family in the future.
The two of them suddenly went from seeing each other every day to being apart more often than not. Chu Yan, who hadn't figured it out yet, felt a little awkward. Xiang Kun, who was vaguely aware of his emotions, became obsessed with work and became thinner and thinner.
There was a month's vacation after the recruit training. Chu Yan only rested at home for one day before going to Xiang's house. He was shocked by Xiang Kun's haggard appearance after losing a lot of weight. He asked in surprise: "What have you been doing for the past two months? How did you make yourself look like this?"
Xiang Kun looked up from the pile of work and was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that he was coming. He hurriedly stood up and tried to greet him, but he felt dizzy, his eyes went black, and he passed out.
Xiang Kun fell ill due to overwork, lack of sleep, irregular diet, and even signs of depression.
Everyone can understand the first few points, but no one understands the last point, which is about depression leading to illness.
Xiang Lingzhi, who was on a business trip, hurriedly called back after receiving the news. Seeing that his son had made him suffer like this, he was angry and distressed. He forcefully removed all his work and told him to go out and play and have fun.
Chu Yan, who was frightened today, looked at Xiang Kun's pale and haggard face, frowned and thought for a while, then waved his hand, took out the hovercraft and moved Xiang Kun, who was still in a coma, to his own car. He transported Xiang Kun to the Chu residence on the grounds that "the doctors in the Chu family are more capable", which made the doctor in the Xiang residence so angry that he almost fought with him with a scalpel.
When Xiang Kun woke up, he opened his eyes and saw Chu Yan's bold sleeping face, with his body still against his warm body. His throat choked, his heart beat violently, and he kicked him without hesitation.
Plop!
“Ouch!”
Chu Yan covered his butt and got up from the ground, widening his sleepy eyes and asked blankly, "Why did you kick me? Are you hungry?"
The morning light was just right at this time. Chu Yan had his back to the window, and his young body, wearing only a pair of underwear, was exposed in front of Xiang Kun. His honey-colored skin, muscular limbs, chest muscles, abdominal muscles, and waistline... Everything about him told Xiang Kun that the two of them had almost been "sticking" to each other just now.
That’s right, Xiang Kun had already discovered the fact that he was only wearing a pair of underwear. This was simply challenging his virginity that had remained calm for more than 20 years!
"Where are my clothes?" Xiang Kun forced himself to look away and asked with a frown.
Chu Yan, however, had not slept enough. He lifted the quilt and lay down again, answering vaguely: "Take it off and wash it. I can't let you wear dirty clothes after giving you a bath. But you can wear my underwear. It's still early, go back to sleep..."
A series of words with intimate meanings came at him swiftly. Xiang Kun was stunned. He turned his head stiffly to look at Chu Yan who had fallen asleep again beside him, then looked around the unfamiliar room. Finally, with shaking hands, he lifted the quilt and looked at the only piece of cloth on his body.
In the dim light, the underwear they wore were exactly the same, only the colors were different and they were very eye-catching. Xiang Kun couldn't help but tighten his grip, then raised his eyebrows, and without hesitation, he raised his leg and kicked Chu Yan down again, shouting in anger: "Chu San! I want to fight you in a duel!"
Xiang Kun rushed out of the room with a cold face and was about to leave directly, but he ran into Gu Yanan who was about to go upstairs.
"I was just about to call you." Seeing him coming down, Gu Yan'an waved at him with a smile and said kindly, "Come over for breakfast. Where's Xiaoyan? He's not still staying in bed, is he?"
It was just a simple greeting, but the warm family atmosphere was overwhelming.
Xiang Kun stopped and stood in front of Gu Yan'an in a daze, looking at the warm-toned living room behind Gu Yan'an and the wooden carriage and toys scattered on the floor, smelling the faint aroma of food floating in the air, and suddenly felt extremely embarrassed at the moment.
He was like a villain who suddenly broke into a fairy tale, exuding an incompatible aura.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that he was standing still and not speaking, Gu Yanan moved closer with concern and asked, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable? I'll ask Zhuang Yu to come over and take a look at you—"
“No need!”
He quickly refused, but found his tone was too cold, so he added: "I'm not feeling uncomfortable, I just, just..."
"Then let's go have breakfast first. Qiao is waiting for you in the restaurant. He said he wants to discuss the new mecha with you." Gu Yanan interrupted him, reached out and grabbed his arm and pushed him towards the restaurant, with a friendly and encouraging smile.
Xiang Kun could no longer say no, and took two steps forward stiffly. Turning back, he saw Gu Yan'an still smiling at him. He curled his fingers nervously and walked hesitantly towards the restaurant.
After making sure that the person had left, Gu Yan'an turned his head to look at the stairs and said in a long tone: "Come down, I'll keep the person for you."
Chu Yan peeked out from the corner, smiled at her flatteringly, and said, "I know that sister-in-law is the best."
"Okay, come down and have breakfast. You've been making trouble every day." Gu Yanan glared at him with a smile, then turned and walked towards the restaurant.
The atmosphere at the Chu family's dining table has always been warm. Even with the addition of an outsider, Xiang Kun, everyone's attitude remained the same as usual, and they took turns to bring up a few topics so that Xiang Kun could also have a say.
Xiang Kun's tense mind slowly relaxed as he ate a delicious breakfast, occasionally responding to Georgia's topics, and occasionally helping Gu Yan'an who was sitting next to him to pass tableware and paper towels to Chu Pangpang. He unconsciously integrated into this big family.
After breakfast, Chu Rong and Chu Huai went to work. Georgia took Xiang Kun to her laboratory and asked him to study mecha-related things together. Chu Yan became the younger brother who served tea and water.
Once his attention was shifted to the mecha, Xiang Kun no longer cared about anything else, because he found out that Georgia was preparing to make the second generation of "Knight" to celebrate Chu Yan's graduation and joining the military.
Before they knew it, the whole morning had passed. After the equally warm lunch, Georgia went to take a nap. Xiang Kun wanted to leave again, but Chu Yan dragged him to the mecha battle hall and continued to let him test the mecha.
The afternoon passed, then it was dinner, and after dinner it was time to watch a movie as a family, and by the time the movie was over, the day was almost over.
"Go to bed. Remember to get up early tomorrow. Second brother will take us to train."
Chu Yan stretched, urged Xiang Kun back to the room, stuffed him a new set of pajamas, and pushed him into the bathroom.
Even when the hot water was poured over his head, Xiang Kun was still a little dazed.
How did a day pass by so quickly? I felt like I didn’t do anything… The warm water poured on my body seemed to warm even my heart. He raised his hands to cover his face, looked at the bathroom that was full of Chu Yan’s personal belongings, and squatted down.
