Chapter 116 Completely Gone Mad
Lin Yao, who had been resting his palm on his shoulder, stopped moving after hearing those words.
He rarely heard Xie Xingchen speak in such a pleading tone.
It's as if I'm really afraid of leaving him behind.
However, the risk is too great. If all previous efforts are in vain, Xie Xingchen's suffering over the past few years will have been in vain.
"I know, but..." Lin Yao saw the other person's eyes were filled with an unnatural redness, and he was extremely restrained, unable to bear saying anything more hurtful.
"Alright, alright, alright, this fight ended with our Commander Xie narrowly winning. Enough is enough, enough is enough." A pair of twins rushed over from the side of the stage, each grabbing one of the two fighters who were entangled in the training field and separating them.
Xie Xingchen lowered his head, breathing slightly heavily, trying to calm himself down.
Lin Yao gave him a deep look, then turned and left the stage first. As soon as he entered the dressing room, before he could even change his clothes, he saw Cheng Boyan waiting for him.
"You can use my phone." Cheng Boyan handed over his. "If you want to talk to him during this time, use my number. No one will check. You can call, text, or video chat."
Lin Yao moved his lips slightly: "Is this appropriate? What if someone comes looking for you...?"
“Then just relay it to me verbally. No one is watching us chat.” Cheng Boyan smiled. “If getting too close can cause them to misunderstand, even better. I don’t mind being your rumored boyfriend for a while.”
Lin Yao looked at him gratefully: "Thank you."
He sighed and said slowly, "I originally wanted him to leave, but he refused."
“I know, Xingchen… he just missed you so much that he couldn’t hold back and came here. Besides military affairs, he has to deal with so many annoying people every day, trying to get bits and pieces of information. It’s too tough for him,” Cheng Boyan explained for his brother. “Don’t be angry with him.”
Lin Yao's eyes were full of worry: "I'm not angry, I'm actually worried about him and afraid that all our efforts will be in vain."
"Let him stay for a while. Be careful, as long as he doesn't go too far, it'll be fine."
Cheng Boyan said, "The election is coming up soon, and the alliance leader is busy lately. He said he was testing the waters, but actually he felt that keeping Xingchen here was safer than letting him cause trouble outside. As for the breakup, they already believed that you two had nothing to do with each other."
After a pause, he exclaimed, "After all, who can endure four years without any contact or meeting? You two are truly amazing."
Lin Yao was a man of few words to begin with, and at this moment he was even more at a loss for words, only saying succinctly, "Isn't it just about enduring?"
Cheng Boyan bent down, tapped the back of the phone with his fingertip, and said with a smile, "Alright, stop holding back. Password: 0809. Use it."
"He Li's birthday?" Lin Yao suddenly looked up, his expression as if he'd stumbled upon some juicy gossip. "When is it...?"
Cheng Boyan didn't bother to hide anything: "It's been a long time, and you guys haven't been around. Spending so much time together every day makes it easy for sparks to fly. But he's so clueless. He keeps talking about wanting to find a sweet Omega. He's incredibly stupid."
Lin Yao still couldn't shake his bluntness: "...What if he really did find someone...After all, the news department probably has the most Omegas in the military region."
Cheng Boyan hummed in agreement, his tone nonchalant: "If he dares to come looking for me, I'll tie him up."
Lin Yao finally understood where the sense of disconnect he felt when he first saw him at the start of the semester came from. He would occasionally utter some very shrewd comments, but usually he seemed both noisy and naive.
Now I suspect that all those silly things I said in my sleep back then were just to create a persona for myself. It's terrifying how meticulous I could be.
Four years have passed, and he has grown stronger. He no longer needs to pretend to be gentle. At this moment, he is the real Cheng Boyan.
Lin Yao could only offer his condolences for He Li.
This would be a disaster.
Lin Yao moved his lips, but still reminded him, "Even though you helped me, if you bully him, I'll beat you to death."
"I know, the strongest Omega in the universe, don't worry." Cheng Boyan smiled, and as he turned to leave, he muttered to himself, "If they really wanted to bully me, I would have held back until now."
Lin Yao's attention was entirely on his phone. He entered the password and opened it, only to see Xie Xingchen's chat window after a long time.
The profile picture has changed to a completely black background, which feels quite different from before.
Clicking on the status update, although it's only visible for one month, the few posts I can see all show a person seemingly deeply in love.
I saw him again today, my AA baby. He looked so cool shooting arrows, I love it!
I haven't smelled his pheromones yet, but Alphas usually clash, so I need to prepare myself.
AA baby glanced at me today and was happy all day.
Lin Yao scrolled through the page expressionlessly, his mind filled with thoughts of what Xie Xingchen was up to.
Is this a publicity stunt, deliberately posted for that old man to see?
But it looks so genuine, and what's with this AA thing? Even if it's fake, there has to be some source of inspiration.
Lin Yao raised his head slightly, thought about the initials of his name, and then went back to his student ID, military region number, and name code, but there was no connection at all.
"Xie Xingchen, you're dead." He said in a low voice, then felt that the nickname "Entanglement" was too pretentious, so he typed it out fiercely.
[Boyan]: Your state of mind is truly disgusting.
[xxc]: Are you jealous?
[Bo Yan]: Shameless, despicable, and vile.
【xxc】：Yaoyao?
[博言]: ? ? ? ? ? ?
No, how could he recognize me with just those two sentences?
Lin Yao looked bewildered. He went back to look at the sentence he had just sent, reading it over and over again three times. It was nothing special. Could it be that Cheng Boyan didn't know how to use such words?
[xxc]: Did you take Boyan's phone?
[Boyan]: Are you delusional? Are you going crazy thinking about Lin Yao?
Lin Yao denied it, typing under Cheng Boyan's name with a flushed face, deliberately teasing him.
【xxc】: Yeah, I came over because I missed you so much.
[xxc]: I dreamt about you last night, so I changed my mind and want to see you.
【xxc】：In my dream you didn't want me anymore, I'm so sad.
【xxc】: You're not really going to leave me, are you?
However, the other side insisted that they were Lin Yao and didn't care at all, unleashing a barrage of attacks.
[Boyan]: I've already said I'm not Lin Yao. Doesn't it feel uncomfortable for you to talk to your brother like that?
[xxc]: No, I'm enjoying it.
[xxc]: I've been holding it in for too long and my nerves are starting to malfunction, so please give in to me.
[xxc]: Let me imagine you as Lin Yao and tell you how much I miss you.
[Words of Wisdom]:
Lin Yao had only one thing on his mind right now: when he returned the phone to Cheng Boyan, he had to delete all the chat history, otherwise Cheng Boyan would laugh at him for a hundred years if he saw it.
Realizing he had been gone for too long, Lin Yao quickly changed back into his training clothes before grabbing his phone and returning to the stadium, where he sat down next to Cheng Boyan and He Li.
On the stage, another group of instructors, twins, were speaking. They were officers from another war zone in charge of warships and were giving the new students a science lesson.
"How did the chat go?" Cheng Boyan turned to ask him.
"Hmm, not bad." Lin Yao answered very conservatively. The person he was impersonating was right in front of him, and even the bright screen could only be dimmed to its lowest setting, while his phone continued to vibrate.
Lin Yao kept his eyes glued to the stage, probably still dazed by Xie Xingchen's outburst, and dared not slide away.
The vibration frequency was probably too high, attracting the attention of those nearby.
"Hey, how come Cheng Boyan's phone is with you?" He Li leaned over and his eyes fell on the screen, just in time to see the latest message pop up.
[xxc]: The first thing I wanted to do when I saw you today was to French kiss you.
Lin Yao: ""
He Li gasped, his pupils widening in shock.
Huh? Huh? Huh? He's going to French kiss Cheng Boyan?
"Has Xie Xingchen... been in the military region for too long and gone completely insane?"
