Chapter 61 Posting Updates
It was freezing cold outside, and passers-by were wearing thick down jackets, hats, and scarves, so their faces couldn't be seen from a distance.
Lu Qingmian and Jiang Jinyue wore hats and scarves of the same color and style, covering their faces together. Jiang Jinyue held Lu Qingmian's hand tightly, and put both hands in Lu Qingmian's pocket. The pocket was warm and no cold air could get in.
Jiang Jinyue stepped into the campus he had been away from for a long time. The school was still bustling, and the enthusiasm of the students was not dampened by the cold. From time to time, students would make snowballs, throw them at each other, and pass by them laughing and joking.
Because they were wearing thick clothes and wrapped up tightly, few people recognized Lu Qingmian and Jiang Jinyue, and the number of people peeping and secretly taking photos following them decreased a lot. However, there were still many people who were curious about the two boys holding hands and would secretly talk about them from time to time.
Jiang Jinyue was a little nervous. It hadn't been long since he made up his mind to change himself and throw away his armor, and he hadn't fully adapted yet.
Lu Qingmian noticed that Jiang Jinyue's hand was a little stiff, so he squeezed Jiang Jinyue's hand hard and rubbed Jiang Jinyue's palm lightly with his fingertips.
Jiang Jinyue raised his head and arched his brows at Lu Qingmian, "I'm fine."
The two of them walked to a fork in the road. Lu Qingmian naturally wanted to walk with Jiang Jinyue to the teaching building where he had classes, but Jiang Jinyue stopped first.
"What's wrong?"
"I want to go to class by myself." Jiang Jinyue looked at Lu Qingmian. He knew that Lu Qingmian was worried about him, and he also knew that Lu Qingmian had mastered all the courses taught in school, but he still didn't want to miss Lu Qingmian because he didn't even have the life he should have.
"I can do it. I'm fine. I'm completely fine." Jiang Jinyue raised his head, and his little face peeked out from the thick scarf. The tip of his nose was red from the cold, and the hot air condensed into mist when he spoke, making him look particularly cute.
Lu Qingmian reached out and pinched Jiang Jinyue's cheek, his tone of voice exceptionally gentle as he spoke, "But I want to accompany you, what should I do?"
Jiang Jinyue didn't expect Lu Qingmian to say that. He blinked, and his rosy cheeks turned visibly red, like peach blossoms blooming in winter.
"You, you..." Jiang Jinyue bit her lower lip, "You can't be so clingy!"
Lu Qingmian chuckled, and couldn't help but lower his head to kiss Jiang Jinyue's soft and tender lips, and then bit Jiang Jinyue's cheek.
"Oh my god! Is that Lu Qingmian?"
"Who did he kiss?"
"It's Jiang Jinyue!"
"Are they confirmed to be together?"
"It's not just a rumor, it's actually true!"
Hearing a series of exclamations, Jiang Jinyue quickly lowered his head and pulled his scarf up to cover his face.
Lu Qingmian's dark eyes flashed, "Are you afraid of being seen?"
Jiang Jinyue kicked the snowflakes with his toes and said, "Not really."
He just wasn't used to it yet and felt embarrassed.
Lu Qingmian didn't ask any more questions. He helped Jiang Jinyue adjust her hat and scarf. "Wait for me in the classroom after class. I'll pick you up and we'll go together."
Jiang Jinyue did not refuse this time and nodded slightly.
Lu Qingmian touched Jiang Jinyue's head again, then turned and walked towards the teaching building where he was taking classes.
Jiang Jinyue also turned around, took a few steps, and suddenly turned back, ran quickly towards Lu Qingmian, and hugged Lu Qingmian's waist from behind.
Lu Qingmian stopped where he was and didn't look back.
Jiang Jinyue rubbed Lu Qingmian's cold coat with her cheek, "I will miss you."
Lu Qingmian lowered his eyes and looked at the hand that was around his waist. "I will miss you too."
Jiang Jinyue then reluctantly let go of her hand and simply went to class separately. The two of them made it seem as if they were going to be separated for a long time.
This time Jiang Jinyue turned around completely and ran quickly towards the teaching building, restraining himself from looking back at Lu Qingmian.
Entering the teaching building, Jiang Jinyue slowed down his rapid breathing after running and walked to the stairwell. All his classes this morning were large classes, and they were all held in the lecture hall.
Jiang Jinyue did not come to the classroom early today. He arrived neither early nor late. Like most students, the teaching building was very busy and he would pass by people from time to time.
Every time they passed each other, Jiang Jinyue would subconsciously tremble slightly, but after a few times, he gradually got used to it and moved calmly among the crowd.
There are too many people queuing for the elevator at this time, so it’s faster to take the stairs.
Arriving at the classroom door, Jiang Jinyue took a deep breath and walked in.
Because he was wearing so many clothes and wrapped up so tightly, his classmates didn't recognize him at first.
After Jiang Jinyue found a place to sit down and took off his scarf, some classmates began to look in his direction frequently.
After being stared at so many times, Jiang Jinyue gradually became nervous. He couldn't help but touch his face and adjust his collar.
Is there something on his face? Why do they keep looking at him?
Suddenly, a male student sitting in the front rows couldn't help but said loudly:
"Jiang Jinyue, you finally came to class. I heard you were sick and had been on sick leave. How are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?"
Jiang Jinyue was startled. He looked at the boy who was talking and remembered that he was a classmate in their class.
"I'm already done, I..." Asking for leave was just an excuse. Jiang Jinyue seemed awkward and nervous when facing greetings from his classmates for the first time.
After the first person spoke, other classmates began to ask about Jiang Jinyue. The classmates talked at once, mostly expressing concern and chatting.
Jiang Jinyue had never experienced these before. Ever since he was kidnapped and walked into the campus again, he became a transparent person in the school. No one wanted to talk to him, no one wanted to be friends with him. The few times he was noticed by the crowd were after his PTSD was triggered.
That was Jiang Jinyue's embarrassing yet unforgettable past, but now facing the care and greetings of his classmates, those obscure memories of the past, like a faded canvas, have become much dimmer.
Jiang Jinyue was not very good at getting along with others. He only knew how to answer his classmates' questions seriously. Because there were too many people talking, the chatter always drowned out Jiang Jinyue's voice. Jiang Jinyue would patiently answer the repeated questions over and over again.
I don't know which girl muttered quietly, "He's so cute!"
Jiang Jinyue was sitting in the back row of the lecture hall. He had no idea that his surroundings were already filled with classmates. Some classmates were also standing in the aisle. Everyone came to talk to Jiang Jinyue.
After asking about Jiang Jinyue's sick leave, they began to praise Jiang Jinyue's heroic act of rushing into the fire to save people.
They could tell from the brim of Jiang Jinyue's hat that Jiang Jinyue had no hair. The dormitory of Jiang Jinyue's classmates was quite far away from the female dormitory where the fire broke out that day. They were stopped by the counselors and the doorman and did not go near the fire scene. However, the photos of Jiang Jinyue and Lu Qingmian going in and out of the fire scene to save people had been circulated everywhere. Especially the last time, the photo of the two people rushing out of the thick black smoke with flames like high-raised wings burning behind them was particularly shocking.
The classmates looked at the tiny Jiang Jinyue sitting in his seat. He looked shy and introverted. He couldn't get along with his classmates, spoke in a soft voice, and would blush at the girls' jokes. Yet, such a Jiang Jinyue could rush into the fire again and again, trying his best to save lives.
"Jiang Jinyue, you are a hero!"
"Jiang Jinyue, you are a real man!"
Someone suddenly shouted, and then someone followed suit to praise Jiang Jinyue. Jiang Jinyue was frightened by the loud voices of his classmates and didn't dare to speak. After a series of praises, the classroom was filled with continuous applause.
The classroom gradually became quiet until the teacher came in.
The teacher took out the roll call and when he read Jiang Jinyue's name, he looked at him deeply with admiration in his eyes. It was obvious that the teacher also knew about Jiang Jinyue's deeds of bravely rushing into the sea of fire to save people.
Jiang Jinyue touched the corner of the book and curled it up, just like his restless heart.
After knowing that Jiang Jinyue was back to class, the most excited person was Chen Keai. After seeing the text message sent by Jiang Jinyue, Chen Keai skipped class halfway through the first period, quietly slipped into Jiang Jinyue's classroom through the back door, sat next to Jiang Jinyue, and reached out to lift the brim of Jiang Jinyue's hat.
He put his fingers in and touched Jiang Jinyue's bald head, then continued to touch inside and touched Jiang Jinyue's furry and warm cat ears.
"Wow!" Chen Keai widened her eyes and couldn't help but touch it again and again.
Jiang Jinyue's cat ears were always pressed down by his hat, and Chen Keai kept touching them. He felt itchy and couldn't help shaking them. When he shook his ears, Chen Keai was even happier, and his other hand was ready to move. If they were not in the classroom, he would have wanted to take off Jiang Jinyue's hat and touch him with both hands.
After finally touching it enough, Chen Keai glanced back and asked softly, "Yueyue, where is your tail?"
Jiang Jinyue looked at Chen Keai's bright eyes, then looked around, and then quietly lifted up his coat a little. The cat's tail poked out and shook.
Chen Keai opened her mouth wide, and immediately reached into Jiang Jinyue's coat, pinched the tip of Jiang Jinyue's tail, and exclaimed: "Yueyue, you are so cute!"
After touching the tip of the tail enough, Chen Keai took out her cell phone and took a photo with Jiang Jinyue.
He then posted this photo on QQ Space and Moments, with the caption: Me and the little hero!
After I refreshed the page after posting, I soon saw a lot of likes and comments.
Jiang Jinyue looked embarrassed, and Chen Keai said, "You post it too! I see you never post these updates, you look like an old man."
Chen Keai said this and sent the photo to Jiang Jinyue.
Jiang Jinyue clicked save, then hesitantly opened his QQ space. Unlike Chen Keai's QQ space and circle of friends, Jiang Jinyue's social account was blank, with nothing in it.
Chen Keai reached out and guided Jiang Jinyue to post his first status. She also took Jiang Jinyue's phone and added a very cute emoji for Jiang Jinyue:
-3-Jiu Mi! Love the cuteness!
As soon as the post was published, one of Jiang Jinyue's few friends, Tang Zebin, was the first to like it and comment: "Brother Yueyue, have you changed your boyfriend?! Have you finally kicked out that jerk Lu Qingmian?"
Jiang Jinyue was stunned for a moment after seeing this comment, and then his phone started vibrating wildly.
Lu Qingmian's QQ messages, WeChat messages, and text messages came continuously.
Jiang Jinyue clicked it blankly, and a series of questions came into view.
[Cheep?]
[Favorite?]
What is this?
[The first post is a photo with someone else?]
[Um? ]
[Why don’t you speak?]
At this time, the bell for the end of get out of class rang and the phone vibrated again.
[Jiang Jinyue, don't move. I'll come find you now.]
