Chapter 40
"Gu Liang."
Yi Yan's cheeks were still pale as he leaned against the head of the bed. He looked very tired and his fingers were rubbing his forehead to relieve his physical discomfort.
But those dark eyes were still staring at Gu Liangyou who was standing frozen in place without blinking.
Gu Liangyou's expression looked very unhappy.
It was not only because Yi Yan's gaze was so noticeable and so hot that it almost made his cheeks feel hot, but also because his behavior just now was telling everyone "I care about him, and more than just a little"!
Gu Liangyi whispered to him: "But this is the fact."
Gu Liangyou gnashed his teeth and said, "Can you be a little more capable?"
In the end, Gu Liangyou chose to ignore Yi Yan. He ignored Gu Liangyi's cautious suggestion of "talking to him" and rolled up his sleeves and said to the school doctor with a cold face:
"Blood draw."
The school doctor was shocked by his heroic action: "Oh... OK."
After completing the physical examination and confirming that there was nothing serious except for some minor wounds, Gu Liangyou directly dropped Yi Yan off at the school hospital and returned to the dormitory alone.
Too many things happened today, so Gu Liangyou simply washed up and prepared to go to bed. Not long after, he heard the door of the dormitory opened, and it seemed that Zhuge Xiao and Yan Beichen had returned.
Seeing that he was sleeping, the noise they were making suddenly became quieter.
Gu Liangyou ignored them, turned over and continued to sleep.
A few hours later, it was completely dark outside the dormitory.
While he was drowsy, he felt someone climbing onto the bed.
Gu Liangyou opened his eyes sleepily and saw Yi Yan standing on the ladder. He lowered his eyes and looked at him quietly.
"Sorry. Did I wake you?" he whispered.
Gu Liangyou was silent for a few seconds before his confused brain belatedly realized what was going on.
"you……"
He patiently uttered a word, but didn't know what to say to Yi Yan.
Gu Liangyou actually wanted to ask him why he didn't stay in the school hospital for a few more days, but by asking this, it seemed like he was caring about the other person.
Tsk, so annoying.
After a moment's silence, he simply changed the direction of his pillow, rolled up the quilt, and lay on his side facing the wall, expressing his rejection of someone with his actions.
Yi Yan looked at him as if he was trying to get away from him, his expression didn't change much, instead there was a faint smile on his face.
"good evening."
As he spoke, he turned off the night light beside the bed.
The voice coming from the darkness seemed particularly low and gentle. Gu Liangyou lay on the bed with his eyes tightly closed. He held it in for a long time before swallowing the word "get out" that was about to come out of his mouth.
Gu Liangyi felt that this was not going to work: "After all, we are roommates, so it's better for us to get along well with each other."
Gu Liangyou said gloomily: "I will go to the counselor to change dormitories tomorrow."
Although he said this, Gu Liangyou still did not put it into practice the next day.
Because after getting up in the morning, he found a brand new glasses case on his desk.
After opening it, there was a familiar pair of black-framed glasses inside.
The scratches and cracks on the frame were carefully repaired bit by bit with black paint, and there was no trace of repair at all. Even the broken legs of the glasses were completely restored to their original appearance.
——But that small "U" mark was left there intentionally.
Gu Liangyou was stunned for a moment holding the glasses case, and subconsciously looked up in the direction of the bathroom.
Yi Yan was washing up inside. He didn't say anything in the morning. He just sat in his seat eating bread and drinking milk for breakfast as usual. He didn't ask Gu Liangyou for coffee again.
Gu Liangyi: "Should we say thank you?"
Gu Liangyou snorted: "Why thank me? Just consider it as the reward for fetching water for him every day."
But before going out, he still put the glasses on his nose.
Since Yi Yan is the captain of a team, they will go together to see Principal Zong for a meeting today.
When they were walking together on campus, the two walked one in front and the other behind. Gu Liangyou straightened his back and strode forward with big strides, his feet carrying the wind. He kept a stern face and said nothing the whole time. Yi Yan was quite self-conscious and kept a distance of two or three meters behind him, following him not too far or too close.
This meeting was held mainly to resolve the Alpha issue.
When Gu Liangyi and the special forces team entered the tower, the remaining few students who were qualified to leave the city took him and left Morton City and returned to school first. As a result, they were able to avoid the attack of the demon.
The main reason why the command wanted to cooperate with the Magic Guild was that they wanted detailed information about the Demon and the mechanical creatures he created. Alpha was now eager to return to the Magic Guild to take control of the situation, so the communication between the two parties was very fast, and the specific details of the cooperation were determined in just one morning.
Gu Liangyou was bored. The only thing that could arouse his interest was the topic about the shops in the city mentioned by Zong Qinyuan:
Because the shops had been bombed to the sky, they now had a stable source of intelligence, so except for a group of special task force members who were stationed in the city and changed shifts regularly, there was no need for them to leave school.
Gu Liangyi pondered and said, "It seems that the headquarters has made a plan. Compared with collecting civilization points, it is easier and faster to kill the demon god once and for all."
Gu Liangyou was twirling the pen absentmindedly, an operation that both personalities could perform. The slender pen shaft flipped back and forth between his slender fingertips, almost making flowers appear, attracting the attention of the surrounding school leaders.
But he himself didn't care at all and didn't even raise his eyes when he heard topics that had nothing to do with him.
——The difference between them is that Gu Liangyi always takes notes seriously during meetings, while Gu Liangyou just slacks off openly when he is not at a meeting.
"I think so," he said lazily.
Just firing at him with a heavy machine gun was not enough to satisfy him.
Although Gu Liangyou did not have much affection for his classmates at Mo University, the master personality cared about them, and he had recorded every detail of what the demon god had done to the master personality.
He would not be able to get rid of the anger in his heart unless he broke the opponent's bones inch by inch and crushed them into ashes.
“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”
After the meeting, when Zong Qinyuan was shaking hands with Alpha, Alpha's eyes noticed Gu Liangyou standing on his left and asked, "Is this your student?"
This student naturally does not refer to an ordinary student. Alpha means to ask whether the relationship between them is like the relationship between Teacher Tina and himself.
"Yes," Zong Qinyuan said with a smile, and put his hand on Gu Liangyou's shoulder, "Student Gu Liang is the student I am most proud of."
Although Zong Qinyuan always called him that, both Gu Liangyou and Gu Liangyi had a feeling that Principal Zong's words were directed at the two of them.
Although Gu Liangyou's personality is very different from that of the host, the school does not seem to want to treat them differently. After the meeting, Zong Qinyuan let him and Yi Yan go back to rest and did not mention anything about Gu Liangyou.
Gu Liangyi was quite happy about this: "I said that Principal Zong is a good teacher. You, don't have a stern face all day long. Why don't you smile more at everyone?"
Gu Liangyou felt a chill. He couldn't imagine himself smiling foolishly at people every day like Gu Liangyi.
"Forget it, I don't have that hobby."
But when passing by Lover's Hill, looking at the cabbages and potatoes all over the hill, as well as the students from the Agricultural College next door busy in the fields, Gu Liangyou, who had always looked lazy, couldn't help but stop and stare at the scene in a daze.
Unknowingly, they have been in the other world for such a long time.
"I remember that the New Year's Day was quite early this year," he suddenly said to Gu Liangyi.
"Yes, the Chinese New Year is just a few weeks away." Gu Liangyi also remembered, "The school should organize some activities to celebrate. Principal Zong also mentioned this before."
"I'm not interested in a party," Gu Liangyou curled his lips, "You are the same, aren't you? Let's go to the library and find a place to sit for a night. The library of Mo University is pretty good, and it has a complete range of astronomy books."
"Okay," Gu Liangyi didn't feel lonely because he had gotten used to being alone over the years. "It just so happens that I have some books I want to borrow, but I've been too busy lately and haven't had the chance to read them."
"Classmate! Can I ask you for a favor?"
Suddenly, a voice came from the bottom of the slope.
The person who called him was a sweaty girl who was struggling to carry a bag of potatoes onto a cart, but she almost slipped because she was not strong enough. Now she was trying to support the cart with her shaky hands, but she could only barely keep it from falling.
Although he didn't care about other people's affairs, Gu Liangyou still went down to lend a hand when he saw this scene.
"Thank you...ah, you are classmate Gu Liang, right?"
The girl looked up and saw him, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Gu Liangyou said "hmm" without commenting. He lowered his head, looked at the cart full of potatoes and asked, "Are you sending this to the canteen?"
"Yes, the two boys from the Agricultural College who are in charge of this field with me today are both sick," the girl said with a bitter face, "I may be too busy here, Gu Liang, can you find a few boys you know to help? I really can't move these things by myself, and the potatoes in the field still need people to harvest."
Gu Liangyou was about to say that he didn't know anyone, but Gu Liangyi said, "We don't have classes in the afternoon anyway, so why don't we help her? The cafeteria isn't far from here anyway."
Gu Liangyou sighed: "How many potatoes do you want to give away?"
"Not much, just three carts," the girl glanced at the piles of potatoes over there, looking unsatisfied, "The land here has been trampled by the young couple, and the yield of this batch of potatoes is not even half of what was expected."
Gu Liangyou's mouth twitched, thinking that Lover's Hill was not meant for growing vegetables, so it was impossible for it to produce a high yield. But on the surface, he just silently lent a hand and helped her push the cart up.
This cart is really heavy, no wonder the girl almost flipped over. And although a single wheel is more convenient in the field, it is difficult for beginners to maintain balance.
Fortunately, someone nearby helped him up in time: "Let me do it."
Gu Liangyou subconsciously said: "Thank you... why are you here!?"
He turned his head and glared at Yi Yan, who looked back at him innocently: "I've been behind you the whole time, I thought you knew."
Gu Liangyou: “…………”
He did know, after all, they came out of the conference room together.
But he had been standing at the Lover's Hill for so long, why didn't this person leave? He thought in disbelief, could it be that Yi Yan was still standing there with him?
"You are Yi Yan, right?" The girl was very excited to see him. "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much! I feel much more relaxed now - don't worry, I will definitely ask my supervisor to give you extra credits and give you the biggest potato!"
Yi Yan laughed and said, "No need for potatoes."
There is already a great druid in their dormitory. Just growing weeds can make Zhuge Xiao obsessed. If he adds a pot of potatoes... the dormitory will really become a botanical garden.
They delivered all the potatoes to the back seat of a tricycle, the kind you often see in vegetable markets. There were five large bamboo frames in total, all filled to the brim.
Gu Liangyou let out a long sigh, stood up and patted the dust off his hands. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Yi Yan ask beside him: "Do you want to kick or should I?"
"……What?"
"She still has two fields to harvest. We are all classmates, so let's help her out." Yi Yan said, "I can't deliver so many vegetables by myself. Too many potatoes will easily roll over. I need someone to help watch over them from behind."
Gu Liangyou felt that he was setting a trap for him, so he turned around and wanted to leave:
"I'll find someone else to help."
"Gu Liang!"
Yi Yan suddenly grabbed his arm, and Gu Liangyou stumbled, his lower back hitting the tricycle hard. He frowned in pain, raised his head and glared at the young man in front of him: "What are you doing? Let go!"
"You don't have to forgive me," Yi Yan stared at his angry face, almost pinching Gu Liangyou's arm with his five fingers, and said in an extremely suppressed tone, "But don't hide from me."
Gu Liangyou and Yi Yan looked at each other for a few seconds, then suddenly shook off his hand.
"Stay away from me." He said coldly.
Yi Yan was silent for a moment, but ultimately said nothing more.
Looking at Gu Liangyou's back as he left without hesitation, he clenched his teeth and closed his eyes patiently.
Suddenly, a foreign object hit him in the face, causing him to open his eyes suddenly. Yi Yan subconsciously raised his hand and grabbed it, only to find that it was the longevity token that he had given to Gu Liang.
Gu Liangyou was not wearing it when he showed up at the school hospital that day. Yi Yan thought he had thrown it into a trash can, but he didn't expect that he hadn't thrown it away yet.
"Aren't you..." Already gone?
Yi Yan looked at Gu Liangyou who had come back and widened his eyes slightly.
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm here to earn credits!" Gu Liangyou pushed his glasses and said angrily.
In fact, he couldn't stand Gu Liangyi's nagging all the time. How on earth could this bastard Fu Jingyan make the protagonist so bewitched in more than two months?
"I'm not obsessed with him!" Gu Liangyi protested loudly, "It's normal for classmates to help each other, and don't you think he helped us fix our glasses, so we should return the favor?"
"That's because I don't want to owe him!"
Gu Liangyou was furious at his master's personality: "You are too good-tempered, so he can control you. After delivering this truckload of potatoes, I will immediately ask the counselor to move to the dormitory. If you stay with him for one more second, I will lose!"
Gu Liangyi reminded him: "You said the same thing yesterday, You."
"...You're so annoying! Is it fun to backstab yourself every day?"
"People should be honest with themselves." Gu Liangyi said truthfully, "Because I can feel that you think the same way, why don't you admit it?"
Gu Liangyou said word by word: "You feel it wrong."
He pushed Yi Yan away who was about to go for the bike and said, "Don't faint on the road, sick boy. You'll have to make me take you to the school hospital. Get out of the way, I'll do it!"
Yi Yan straightened his collar that was pulled askew by him, and obediently went behind him to assist him.
The new demon god turned his anger into motivation and pedaled his tricycle at lightning speed, almost kicking the chain to sparks. Yi Yan, who was sitting in the back seat, tried to hold the boxes of potatoes steady, and wisely did not take the opportunity to speak to Gu Liangyou, otherwise he was afraid that Gu Liangyou would peel him like a potato.
At noon, Zhuge Xiao, who was picking his teeth and walking out of the cafeteria, suddenly froze.
After a long while, he poked Yan Beichen's waist with his elbow and said, "Second Brother Yan, am I hallucinating?"
How come he saw the fourth brother riding a tricycle, carrying Brother Yi and a cart of potatoes, speeding through the school?
Yan Beichen: "...No, I saw it too. Give me the money."
Zhuge Xiao gritted his teeth and transferred two hundred to him.
The two of them made a bet in the corridor outside the dormitory last night, saying that they would see how long the cold war between Lao Si and Boss Yi would last. Zhuge Xiao bet that it would be at least a week, because Gu Liang looked really cold and angry; Yan Beichen sneered at this, saying that he underestimated Brother Yi's methods, and if he could last until noon the next day, he would lose.
"A gambler will end up with nothing," Yan Beichen patted him on the back and said with a smile, "You still have a lot to learn, young man!"
Zhuge Xiao: “…………”
