Chapter 46 What Do You Want
In fact, it all started because He Li edited a very bizarre video.
It started like a snowball rolling downhill, with no end in sight.
"Our previous statement that he used Z7032 was a misunderstanding; it was our incorrect judgment."
Lin Yao spoke very rationally: "At first, He Li was wrong, and we were at fault. But later, Li Mao and Duan Zheng did retaliate in a much worse way. I don't think Duan Zheng can push all the blame onto his friends."
Unexpectedly, this matter had dragged him back into the spotlight, and Duan Zheng's face instantly darkened: "What do you want?"
"Last time it was indeed a common inducer, but it still caused irreparable damage to Xie Xingchen, so I think..."
He paused, noticing that everyone was looking at him.
It's not like before when I was ranked first and everyone subconsciously remembered and looked up to me; this is the first time I've been taken seriously and become the focus of decision-making.
It was Xie Xingchen who gave him such respect.
Lin Yao cleared his throat, thought carefully, and then spoke: "I heard that there has been frequent fighting on the desolate planet recently, and logistics are needed. If punishment is necessary, then let the two of them go to the desolate planet as volunteers, and He Li will go as a reporter."
"A desolate planet?" Duan Zheng frowned. "I don't want to go to that godforsaken place. What's the difference between this and exile?"
Li Maoru, facing the general amnesty, kowtowed repeatedly: "Yes, I'm willing to go. As long as I'm not discharged from the military, I'll go for half a year."
"If you're going by yourself, don't take me with you." Duan Zheng said with obvious disgust, "You're a pig brain."
Dean Hall chuckled and said slowly, "Student Lin has quite the potential to be a leader. Originally, the top thirty students in the last freshman competition automatically formed the Chongqing Guard Team. This time, the school planned to select some students to go. You've helped me choose the candidates in advance."
He paused, then, unable to contain his laughter because of the unexpected turn of events, said, "You, Xie Xingchen, and Duan Zheng, were destined to be in the top three."
Duan Zheng: ? ? ? ? ? ?
He turned his head, speechless: "No, is it too late for me to quit now?"
“Of course not.” Hall’s smile vanished. “The first principle of a soldier is to obey orders. You should know that.”
Duan Zheng turned his head away and muttered a curse under his breath.
Lin Yao nodded slightly, even seeming to enjoy the trip: "I'm fine with it. If it's necessary to supervise these two guys, I'd be more than willing."
Hearing this, Xie Xingchen, always eager for a good show, agreed: "Of course I have no problem with that either. But Dean, there should be a difference between us supervisors and punishers, right? For example, Lin Yao and I should enjoy the ultimate luxury aircraft and our own suites. Of course, considering the need to save the academy money, we can sleep in the same room."
Having finally avoided a military court trial, Li Mao was unusually agreeable, nodding repeatedly: "Okay, you can even let me sleep in the toilet."
Duan Zheng was truly out of his element, and kept his distance from him with obvious disgust: "Can't you fucking have some backbone?"
“For the punisher, it has to be a scrap metal, outdated flying machine. There’s no need to arrange accommodation; it’s not a vacation.” Xie Xingchen was extremely malicious. “When they’re in jail, their movement is limited to the bed. This is already considered very humane leniency.”
Duan Zheng: "......."
Why did he have such a stupid idea to provoke Xie Xingchen in the first place?
Lin Yao couldn't help but lower his head and chuckle softly.
Cheng Boyan belatedly realized what was happening and slapped his forehead: "No, all three of us in my dorm are going, I can't be left out."
"Are you sick?" Director Cheng raised his hand to touch his hair, extremely anxious. "Don't die out there."
“I’m going.” Cheng Boyan straightened his chest. “As the dormitory head, I’m going to be with my roommates every step of the way.”
"Well, you didn't make any mistakes, and you didn't even make it into the top thirty in the competition, so you really can't go," He Li whispered a reminder.
Cheng Boyan habitually looked at his father: "Dad, can you pull some strings and see if you can get through this?"
"You brainless idiot, come out here." Director Cheng almost threw a pen at his head. "Alright, the patient's visit has been going on for more than half an hour, everyone disperse."
The doctor told them to leave, and the others weren't easy to deal with either, so Lin Yao went out with the group.
I had just stepped downstairs when I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket.
He took out his phone and swiped it open, seeing a message from Xie Xingchen.
[xxc]: These past few days have been awful. I haven't had a single good meal. It's miserable, isn't it?
【01】：The seafood they sent that day, such delicacies, were so pitiful. This young master really doesn't know the hardships of life.
【xxc】: That's a picture I found online. It shows a life in its raw state, but a meticulously curated social media profile.
【01】：........
Lin Yao sighed slightly. Oh well, he wouldn't argue with a patient.
【01】: What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it.
Xie Xingchen smiled slightly, thinking to himself, "When will I ever get this kind of treatment? It's so good to be sick."
I casually posted a few dishes that were available at the nearby restaurant; I didn't really care what I ate.
She simply stood by the window, watching Lin Yao say goodbye to everyone and then enter the restaurant alone.
Xie Xingchen's room had a good view, and he often stood there gazing out the window during the time he was locked up.
Today was different, more pleasant than any other time I stood by the window, because I could see Lin Yao.
I watched him order and pay with a nonchalant expression, then carry a large bag of food, cross the traffic lights at the entrance, turn back, and walk into the small courtyard of the quarantine area.
Actually, when he first told Lin Yao that he wanted three wishes, it was just a casual remark. He didn't have any concrete ideas at the time; he just wanted to tease him.
But now we have it.
As Lin Yao walked through the tree-lined path in the quarantine zone and got closer to the building, he felt his phone vibrate. It was a call from Xie Xingchen.
He swiped to answer, and said helplessly, "You don't have to be this hungry, can't you even wait half an hour?"
"I've made up my mind. I have three wishes, and I want to fulfill them with you now."
Xie Xingchen stood by the window, looking down as he slowly approached. "Look up at me."
Lin Yao raised his chin and saw him standing by the window: "Don't use vulgar or obscene words. Be serious."
Xie Xingchen hummed in agreement: "My first wish is that you tell me whenever you're unhappy in the future."
Lin Yao was taken aback, his seriousness unusual.
I never expected such a request, or rather, a wish made with one's own feelings as the primary consideration.
Because you know it's difficult to speak up and difficult to analyze yourself, did you use up your first precious opportunity to redeem it?
He blinked slowly, feeling the evening breeze brush against his cheeks, burning hot.
"Yes." Lin Yao nodded in agreement. "Anything else?"
Xie Xingchen looked at him, at him standing in the soft sunlight, and her tone softened: "My second wish is to see you every day."
Lin Yao gripped the phone tightly, then slowly loosened his grip.
A relationship that once hoped to never see the other person again has unexpectedly turned out like this.
He joked, "Are you punishing me? To be honest, I don't really want to see you every day."
"Once a week is fine too, like when you came to see me today," Xie Xingchen said, settling for second best.
Lin Yao hummed in agreement: "I'll try. Anything else?"
Xie Xingchen looked at him, his gaze slowly sweeping over every inch of his body, a mixture of lewd, innocent, and frenzied desires, afraid of frightening him.
Approach him silently, so that he willingly walks into your trap.
"I'll tell you my third wish when the weather is nice."

Um, since the scores are usually very low when Tomato scores are first released, I hope you all can give me a few more five stars before the scores are released, so I can look more presentable later, sob sob sob (yes, I'm such a vain little girl!!!)
