Chapter 132 Extra Thirteen
During the seven days of National Day, Jiang Xing didn't do a single word of his homework. Lin Qingyu watched him open the schoolbag that had been lying in the corner for a whole holiday, and took out a large stack of test papers from it, estimating that there were about twenty of them.
Lin Qingyu asked: "How long does it take you to finish a test paper?"
Jiang Xing took off the pen cap, turned the gel pen so that the ink would not splash out, and said casually, "At least half an hour."
A rough calculation shows that Jiang Xing may not be able to finish his homework even if he stays up all night. Lin Qingyu recalled the days when Jiang Xing was dominated by the memorials, and was both angry and amused: "The task is so difficult, why did you wait until now to do it? What did you do in the past six days?"
Jiang Xing raised his eyebrows: "What did you say I was doing?"
"Don't put the blame on me." Lin Qingyu said the truth, "Even if I wasn't there, you would definitely put it off until the last day."
"Damn it," Jiang Xing casually pulled out a math test paper, glanced at the questions, and wrote down the answers, "I'm in such a miserable state, and you won't let me pass on the blame."
Lin Qingyu said coldly: "I won't let you."
When in Dayu, Lin Qingyu would occasionally accompany Jiang Xing to stay up late to review memorials. He never expected that now that there was no memorial, he would have to stay up late with Jiang Xing to do homework.
There is an eye-protection lamp on in the study and two cups of milk tea on the table. One of them was doing homework while the other was playing games. They were quiet and didn't disturb each other. Jiang Xing finished a paper, threw away his pen, and looked at Lin Qingyu. Lin Qingyu was seen wearing headphones and picking up the milk tea to drink. However, because his eyes were fixed on the mobile phone screen, his lips touched the air and he tried twice before he successfully bit the straw.
Jiang Xing chuckled and wanted to go find Lin Qingyu to get close to him, but then he heard Lin Qingyu ask, "What does 'magic assassin' mean? My teammates asked me to fill in for the magic assassin."
In the game, a magic assassin refers to a mage who can act as an assassin. Usually, the operation requirements for him are higher than those for other mages. Lin Qingyu had just started playing moba games, and Jiang Xing only taught him two or three easy-to-learn heroes, which were more than enough for him to play in the low-level segments.
"Don't pay attention to them." Jiang Xing said, "Just play what you know how to play."
Lin Qingyu said, “I also want to try something else.” After that, he chose a hero that required complex combos and had a slightly complicated mechanism.
Jiang Xing was unable to stop him, Lin Qingyu had already locked onto the hero. Jiang Xing hesitated: "If you are scolded by your teammates, let me help you fight."
Lin Qingyu said: "No need, just help me curse back."
Jiang Xing stopped doing his homework and went to Lin Qingyu to watch him play. Four minutes into the game, a small team fight broke out between the two sides. Lin Qingyu used a set of stylish combos to successfully fly into the air and take down the first blood of the opponent.
Jiang Xing was a little confused: "This..." Most likely a coincidence.
Seeing Lin Qingyu successfully perform three consecutive combos, Jiang Xing became more and more confused and couldn't help asking: "Qingyu, have you practiced this hero before?"
"No, it's my first time playing."
"Then how did you fly?"
Lin Qingyu was surprised and said, "Isn't the skill description very clear? If you want to fly, can't you just follow the skill description?"
Jiang Xing was silent for three seconds, then smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's that simple. You continue, and I'll do my homework."
Jiang Xing had too much homework to do and he couldn't finish it even after staying up until the early morning. Lin Qingyu was the first to give up and fell asleep on the table. Jiang Xing picked him up and carried him horizontally. He wanted to send him to the master bedroom to sleep and then go back to the study to work, but when he saw Lin Qingyu's sleeping face, he felt reluctant to leave.
I won’t be able to be with Lin Qingyu 24 hours a day tomorrow.
So he moved his position from the study to the bedroom. The things on the bedside table were cleared out and it became his makeshift desk. He sat cross-legged on the floor with the bed next to him - Lin Qingyu was sleeping next to him.
In the middle of the night, Lin Qingyu opened his eyes while half asleep and half awake, and saw that the light was still on at the bedside. He called out, "... Jiang Xing?"
Jiang Xing immediately stopped writing: "Awake?"
Lin Qingyu was sleepy: "Why haven't you finished writing yet?"
"It's almost time." Jiang Xing patted Lin Qingyu's back as if he was coaxing a child to sleep, "You go to sleep first."
Lin Qingyu nodded and closed his eyes obediently. Jiang Xing just patted Lin Qingyu's back gently with his left hand and wrote down the answers on the test paper with his right hand.
Jiang Xing worked until three in the morning to finish his homework. He got onto the bed weakly, lay down beside Lin Qingyu, and used his last bit of willpower to set the alarm clock half an hour earlier.
Lin Qingyu slept late the day before and woke up late the next day. When he woke up, Jiang Xing was packing up his things, looking sleepy and lazy, as if he hadn't gotten enough sleep.
"Are you going to school?" Lin Qingyu asked.
"Yes, I have bought breakfast and put it on the dining table. Remember to eat it." Jiang Xing hurriedly stuffed the textbooks and test papers into his schoolbag. Although he set the alarm, he still couldn't help but stay in bed for ten minutes, and went to buy breakfast for Lin Qingyu. He was most likely going to be late. "Auntie will come to clean and cook at noon. I've already told her that you're at home. Just tell her what dishes you want to eat."
Lin Qingyu nodded and agreed: "Okay, you can go now."
Jiang Xing put on his schoolbag, rushed to the door, but suddenly stopped, turned back and threw himself on the bed. Lin Qingyu groaned when he was hit by his schoolbag and asked, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Xing leaned over and placed a kiss on Lin Qingyu's forehead: "I want to kiss you before I leave."
Lin Qingyu was slightly stunned.
"Fuck, I'm really going to be late." Jiang Xing kissed her and ran away, "Let's go, Qingyu."
Lin Qingyu raised his hand and touched his forehead. Mr. Jiang... no, it's Classmate Jiang, he is still so introverted when falling in love again - in other words, he is still so cowardly.
The aunt Jiang Xing hired was a middle-aged woman who was efficient and quiet. She only came to cook and clean at mealtimes. Most of the time, Lin Qingyu is alone at home. He didn't feel bored at all. Just a book on modern medicine was enough for him to read for a whole day.
Lin Qingyu was immersed in the book and didn't play the game much. After an unknown amount of time, I heard the sound of a key unlocking the door in the living room. Lin Qingyu glanced at the time. It was still early for Jiang Xing to finish school. Did his aunt come early?
He arrived in the living room, and before he could see who was coming, he was hugged and pushed back two steps.
“Qingyu…!”
It’s Jiang Xing.
Jiang Xing was wearing a school uniform and breathing slightly, obviously having run all the way back home from school.
Lin Qingyu was hugged tightly by him and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Xing whispered, "I sent you so many messages and called you, why didn't you reply?"
Lin Qingyu said: "Sorry, I didn't see it."
His cell phone was in the living room, on silent mode. He has not yet developed the habit of carrying his mobile phone with him and checking it whenever he has time.
Jiang Xing murmured, "You really want to scare me to death."
"What's so scary about this?" Lin Qingyu pushed Jiang Xing away, walked to the side and picked up his phone, "I'll get back to you when I see it."
Jiang Xing sighed, "Qingyu, please be kind and don't ignore my calls or messages. I know it's unrealistic for you to reply immediately, but please check your phone at least once every hour - or two, okay? I can't concentrate on my classes if you don't send me any messages."
Lin Qingyu flipped through the messages sent by Jiang Xing. Since Jiang Xing arrived at school, he had been sending a few messages from time to time:
[Qingyu, I’m in the classroom.] As soon as I entered the door, the second place in our class stopped me and asked me how many papers I had written during the holidays. He said that in addition to the twenty sets assigned by the teacher, he made ten more sets. I felt like he wanted to kill me. 】
[This "Li Sao" is a bit difficult to memorize... sad.] 】
【Hello?】 Is anyone there? 】
[Qingyu?] ? ? 】
[Save the children...]
Lin Qingyu said: "How could it be that I haven't been back for only an hour."
Jiang Xing choked: "Two hours isn't long enough?"
Even if Lin Qingyu adapts well to modern society, he is an ancient man after all. Without getting a response from Lin Qingyu, he couldn't help but have wild thoughts. Worrying that he got into trouble when he went out, worrying that he encountered difficulties at home, or even worrying that he would just disappear.
Lin Qingyu said, “Even when we were in Dayu, we wouldn’t have Xiao Songzi delivering messages all the time.”
Jiang Xing shook his head: "It's different. You don't belong to this world. You came here because of me. If you suddenly disappeared, I would think..." Jiang Xing laughed at himself, "I would think that you went back to Dayu alone. On the way back, I even wondered if I had to be hit by a car again before I could go back to find you. If that's really the case, then I can only..."
Lin Qingyu's face changed slightly, and he interrupted him coldly: "Don't say such stupid things."
Jiang Xing said resentfully: "So, you can't scare me like this."
Lin Qingyu suddenly realized that Jiang Xing, like him, was also afraid of loss and separation. And this is just Jiang Xing who has recovered his first life memories and has only experienced separation once. What was Jiang Xing's mood when he left for the second time? Even after returning successfully in the end, facing him who was almost collapsed, Jiang Xing still had to rationally comfort him, coax him, and give him enough sense of security - even though Jiang Xing was one year younger than him.
Perhaps, Jiang Xing's sequelae of anxiety and fear of loss may not be any less severe than his, but he has never shown it.
Lin Qingyu straightened the collar of Jiang Xing's school uniform and said gently, "Okay, I will try my best to reply to your messages in time in the future."
Just try your best?
Jiang Xing was still not satisfied. He grabbed Lin Qingyu's shoulders and said seriously, "Qingyu, here, it is illegal not to reply to your boyfriend's message within two hours."
Lin Qingyu was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do I look like someone who can be easily deceived?"
