Chapter 110 Extra 2: Gap
The first time I realized something was wrong was when I saw the snow-white walls of the corridor in the teaching building.
The walls were obviously newly painted, without a single dark stain. The floor was paved with black and white tiles, and the door frame was painted dark green. Because it was new, it didn't look outdated, but rather exuded a sense of neatness.
Judging from the light that shone into the corridor, it should be dusk. As soon as this thought came to mind, as if to prove its correctness, the empty campus soon echoed with the sound of the time. This bell sound has not changed for many years, and Ye Kai subconsciously knew that it was six o'clock in the afternoon.
There were very few people in the school. At least in the corridor where he was, there was not a single student or teacher to be seen.
Walking along the corridor, before turning the corner, I could vaguely hear voices talking.
"……I know."
It was a familiar voice, but not that familiar. For a moment I couldn't remember who it was.
Another voice continued, "And then?"
A cynical tone, a deep and magnetic background, but with a touch of youthful arrogance.
Ye Kai froze in his tracks—What the hell?!
One step away, he turned the corner and saw two people talking by the windowsill in the classroom. One of them was leaning against the window, holding a book in his hand. The book was very thick, and even when they were chatting, he did not move his eyes away from the book. The window was half open, and the wind blew the moon-white short gauze curtain, making his cold eyebrows look very handsome.
Why... a bit like Teacher Du Tang.
Another person stood in front of him, one hand in his school uniform pocket, the other holding a loose coat and throwing it over his shoulder. Compared with the other person's rules, he had two buttons of his shirt undone, looking arrogant and a little messy, the kind of person that the discipline duty team would be furious when they saw him.
Sure enough, Du Tang, who was reading a book, said calmly: "Chen Youhan, button up."
These three words were like a bolt from the blue. Ye Kai opened his eyes wide and watched Chen Youhan smile provocatively with one corner of his lips tilted: "Are you nervous?"
The other party finally pulled his eyes away from the page and asked calmly and rigidly: "Why should I be nervous?"
"Because..." He stopped talking before he could finish. Chen Youhan turned around, frowned and said impatiently: "Who are you?"
Ye Kai’s body stiffened for a moment, and he thought to himself… Damn, so handsome.
He had never seen Chen Youhan like this... No, of course he had seen photos, but how could photos compare to a real person who could talk, move and make expressions?
However, at this moment, his tone was unfriendly and his expression was cold, as if he was about to hit someone. Ye Kai was so angry and felt inexplicably wronged. When he looked at Du Tang who had also turned around, he took his displeasure out on him.
If he remembered correctly, this should be the scene where Chen Youhan confessed to Du Tang. He had just brushed it off with a few words, and after so many years, he had no reason to be jealous. The shock of seeing it with his own eyes was indeed greater than anything else.
He is very jealous.
Du Tang didn't say anything, but Chen Youhan narrowed his eyes and said, "Hey," he raised his chin slightly, "What are you looking at?"
Ye Kai thought, is this a dream? Since it is a dream, he can do whatever he wants.
"Brother Youhan," he smiled and ordered calmly, "You are not allowed to like him."
It was so natural, as if he was giving orders to something that belonged to him.
Chen Youhan was startled, "Again——"
Du Tang couldn't help but pursed his lips and looked at Ye Kai with interest.
Fuck, it’s your mother’s brother again. Chen Youhan was instantly annoyed: “What the hell are you talking about?”
Ye Kai ignored him, walked to the windowsill, raised his hand and pushed the window open a little further.
The windowsill was low. He was in the corridor and Chen Youhan was in the classroom. The two looked at each other across the window. The air was tense and filled with a faint smell of paint.
Ye Kai looked at him closely. Compared to the deep and handsome appearance of his adult life, Chen Youhan at this moment was even more unruly and rebellious. One could tell at a glance that this person was not disciplined by anything and would never play by the rules.
It just so happened that he was also planning to do evil in his dream.
Thinking of this, her eyes unconsciously became playful, and when Chen Youhan's breath suddenly stopped, she leaned over and kissed him.
Three voices rang in my ears at the same time:
Du Tang slammed the foreign language book shut. Director Zhang from the teaching department asked in shock, "Which class are you from? What's going on?" Chen Youhan pushed him away and grabbed his collar, gritting his teeth, "Fuck you, are you——"
Before the chaos, Director Zhang finally arrived with steady steps. He slapped Chen Youhan's hand away: "Chen Youhan! It's you again! What are you doing? Huh? You don't go home after school - what are you doing here?!"
Chen Youhan put his hands back into his school uniform pockets, was silent for two seconds, then raised his leg and fiercely kicked over the desk, and said arrogantly: "Dean, can you please be reasonable? I was... He..." His lips opened and closed, spitting out three words: "Sexual, harassment."
Director Zhang was choked and his hands were shaking with anger: "How dare you say that?!"
Chen Youhan rubbed the corner of his lips with the tip of his thumb, stared at Ye Kai provocatively, wiped the place where he kissed, and then turned his gaze to Director Zhang again: "Why are you so shameless? Homosexuals have no human rights?"
In the long confrontation, Director Zhang was obviously the one who was at a disadvantage from beginning to end. He was too lazy to waste any more words, and pointed at Chen Youhan and scolded, "Don't go home, put him in solitary confinement in the Q&A room! Call! Your! Parents!"
Then he turned to Ye Kai and said sternly: "Ye Kai! Is what he said true?"
Ye Kai was stunned for a moment. When he was in school, Director Zhang should have retired and retired. But how could he know his name? But since it was a dream, anything illogical could happen.
He was stunned for two seconds, and Director Zhang looked at Du Tang: "Du Tang, you know best, you tell me."
Du Tang put on his backpack and prepared to leave this sudden farce, and said coldly: "It's true."
He is a good student, and his overly serious eyes always make people feel that he would not bother to help anyone tell a lie.
The final word was given, and Director Zhang was furious: "You're causing trouble for me before the formalities are completed!"
How he hated it. Ye Kai was a transfer student from another province. His academic performance was among the best in his previous national key middle school. Transferring to Tianyi was basically a reassurance for the college entrance examination next year, a golden lacquer for Tianyi's signboard, and the ceiling of his year-end bonus. Director Zhang suppressed his anger and persuaded him: "Is it a misunderstanding? Did you have a conflict with Chen Youhan and something unexpected happened?"
Chen Youhan kicked the classroom door open with his schoolbag in hand, and said loudly and ostentatiously amid the earth-shaking noise: "You can't win, so you resort to dirty tricks. You're such a coward."
When he said that, Director Zhang angrily cursed, "You'll have to pay for the damage to public property." But when he turned back to look at Ye Kai, he softened his tone and said, "Don't do it again. Got it?"
Ye Kai followed Chen Youhan's back and suddenly understood what he meant. His eyes were subtly gentle in the afterglow of the setting sun. He didn't argue anymore and nodded to acknowledge the statement.
He followed Director Zhang and walked slowly around the old campus before the Tianyi renovation. All the students had gone home for the weekend, leaving only a few who lived far away. The second teaching building, the auditorium, and the library donated by Chen Youhan were no longer visible. Instead, there were large playgrounds, retro Republican-style red brick buildings, and stone carved archways.
He was naturally a good student, and Director Zhang was very patient with him. He introduced the plants and trees on campus, where were the relics, where were the famous scholars in the Republic of China who had stopped and taught, and even mentioned where there were strange stories on campus. Ye Kai walked in the golden dusk, and he thought of Qu Jia. She was the one who reshaped this school.
Walking here, he felt as if he were walking into his mother's idealistic youth.
After walking back to the school gate, Chen Youhan had just sneaked out of the question-answering room where he was locked up. Director Zhang was not in a good mood: "Did I ask you to go home?"
The man's school uniform jacket was open. He scratched his ears when he heard this: "You didn't let me. I miss home by myself, okay?" He said in a resolute voice: "See you later, Director. Have a nice weekend!"
...quite polite.
But that tone sounded so asking for a beating, coupled with the corners of his clothes flying up in the sunset and his hand casually waved and then fell lazily, Ye Kai felt that Director Zhang might need to take anti-stress drugs.
The black BMW 760 welcomed its eldest son. The door was slammed shut without mercy, and then it roared into the twilight.
Ye Kai once again confirmed that the setting of this dream was too real, because this 760 looked completely like an old model, but considering the year at that time, it was a well-deserved luxury top-of-the-line business car.
The next time we saw each other was on Siyuan Road.
The gate of the Ye family's main house was locked, and it was still the same as before the renovation. The security guard stopped him dutifully and kindly told him that the whole Ye family went to Vancouver for vacation.
Amid the distant noise of traffic, what was clearer was the thud of the basketball hitting the ground. The sound of the basket going into the basket was crisp and clear, and it was carried into Ye Kai's ears by the night breeze.
He squatted down and picked up the basketball that had rolled to his feet. He twirled his fingers and the orange ball began to spin steadily on his fingertips: "Good luck."
Chen Youhan half raised his wrist and turned the black wristband, frowning: "Why are you here?" His face changed slightly: "Are you following me?"
Ye Kai laughed out loud, and the basketball rolled off his fingertips. He took the opportunity to hug it and said, "Your car is running so fast, how can I catch up with it?"
He passed the basketball back to Chen Youhan.
Chen Youhan smoothed his wet hair. He was so excited that the basketball bounced back and forth between his slender hands. He raised his lips and asked casually, "One-on-one? Pick one."
Ye Kai's white T-shirt fluttered in the wind, making him look tall and thin. He smiled and shook his head: "I don't play basketball."
Chen Youhan raised his eyebrows.
"Tennis, baseball, skiing, scuba diving, your choice."
Chen Youhan couldn't help laughing, and said in a leisurely voice: "I choose singles."
That being said, they didn't fight in the end. Under the street lights of the stadium, Ye Kai sat cross-legged on the ground behind the basket, watching Chen Youhan practice various dribbling skills and long-range jump shots. Sweat dripped down the ends of his hair, and at that moment in the air it seemed to reflect the warm yellow light of the street lights.
Chen Youhan was concentrating on his work as if no one was around, and didn't even glance at him.
Tianyi Library has a display room with various milestone awards since the school was founded, which is open to the public all day. Chen Youhan's school basketball team won the school's first provincial championship. Nearly 20 boys squatted in two rows, holding the big golden trophy high in their hands, and he was in the center.
On the empty court, there was only the wind of the late summer night and the rhythmic sound of basketballs hitting the ground. No one spoke, and crickets crawled in the dense, fragrant grass.
This was a wonderful dream. Seeing Chen Youhan like this, he felt a little reluctant to wake up so soon.
It was almost eight o'clock, and the boring practice was over. Chen Youhan picked up the sports bottle and drank water. His raised neck had a beautiful and sexy curve, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down as he swallowed, and sweat slid down. He pulled up his collar and wiped his mouth, glanced at Ye Kai casually, and asked impatiently: "Aren't you going home?"
Ye Kai found it a little funny and thought to himself, my house is right next door to yours, but I can't get in now.
Chen Youhan asked again: "I heard that you have very good grades."
This topic came up again and again, and Ye Kai nodded, not understanding what he meant. But he soon understood what he meant, because Chen Youhan immediately said, "Would you like to borrow your homework and copy it?"
Ye Kai: “…”
You are worthy of it.
"I just got here," Ye Kai suppressed his laughter, "I haven't done my homework yet." Then he asked, "Why don't you ask Du Tang to borrow it?"
It would have been fine if he didn't mention it. As soon as he mentioned it, Chen Youhan's face turned a little sour.
"none of your business."
"You like him, but he doesn't like you."
Chen Youhan tilted his head with interest, raised one corner of his lips and smiled defiantly: "Who said that?"
Well... of course you said it yourself.
Seeing that Ye Kai did not answer, Chen Youhan turned around and waved: "It's no secret that I like Du Tang. So you saw it. See you later."
Ye Kai's originally calm state of mind was turned into a rage by this remark. He narrowed his eyes slightly, said "Hey" to his receding figure, and raised his voice to sarcastically say: "Forget it, he didn't even reply to you today."
Chen Youhan paused, and he seemed to faintly hear him curse "Fuck!", then he dropped his sports bag and strode towards Ye Kai: "I warn you not to meddle in other people's business."
Ye Kai brushed away the finger he pointed at him: "That's so fierce."
He only said this softly, with a look of ignorant resentment and resentment in his eyes, but Chen Youhan inexplicably felt that he couldn't get angry, and could only take a deep breath to suppress his temper, "Don't act like you know us very well."
Ye Kai raised his head slightly. The two of them were closer than they had been in the corridor.
The person in front of him was familiar yet strange to him. His eyes had a kind of attachment that was about to be withdrawn but not yet withdrawn. Chen Youhan felt empty inside when he was looked at by him. For some reason, he felt an uncontrollable throbbing. He lowered his voice: "Don't look at me like that."
Hormones filled the air after exercise, invading the two bodies that were so close to each other.
Unwarranted ambiguity.
Ye Kai turned his head slightly and his eyes fell on Chen Youhan's lips.
"I advise you...you might as well like me sooner."
·
Chen Youhan was tying his tie. Hearing what he said, he couldn't help but laugh. He glanced at Ye Kai in the mirror and asked, "Did you really say that?"
From his perspective, Ye Kai was still wearing his pajamas, leaning against the wall with his arms folded, looking very lazy.
He is on summer vacation and doesn't have to get up early to go to the company.
Ye Kai covered his mouth, yawned, and nodded.
"Then what?"
"And then I kissed you."
His eyes were immersed in the gentleness of memories. He remembered the sweaty breath of the young Chen Youhan in the night wind, and his helpless feeling when he was kissed by him. This time the kiss was deeper, lips rubbing and sucking, the tip of his tongue swept across his teeth, and then probed in through the gap between his teeth.
His recollections were interrupted here when Chen Youhan flicked his forehead with a finger.
"Recalling kissing someone else in front of me?" Chen Youhan grabbed the back of his head and applied a little force: "You're jealous."
Ye Kai laughed: "Are you jealous of yourself?"
"What does he know?" Chen Youhan lowered his head and moved closer to him, lowering his voice: "Your brother Youhan is here."
Ye Kai hooked his neck and kissed him. Dreams and reality intertwined for a moment in a trance. The heat of their lips and tongues seemed to be the continuation of the unfinished kiss in the dream.
When he was sending people to the entrance, he suddenly remembered something, and his clear black eyes showed a hint of displeasure: "How much do you like Du Tang?"
Chen Youhan cursed with a smile, "Are you being unreasonable? Are you blaming me for what happened in the dream?"
Ye Kai didn't care, and used the dream to express his jealousy openly: "Teacher Du was indeed very handsome when he was young. I can understand that you like him."
Chen Youhan was touched by his adorable antics and kissed him on the lips: "Don't be silly, of course I'm not as pretty as you."
A smile appeared on the corners of his lips, and a mischievous look flashed in Ye Kai's eyes, "I don't believe it."
"If you don't believe me, ask him next time you dream about it."
Ye Kai thought of Chen Youhan's enthusiasm for defending Du Tang, and he began to get angry again. He said coldly: "Of course he thinks Teacher Du is prettier."
Chen Youhan was helpless and coaxed without principle: "Then beat him up."
He was going to be late for the meeting, so he had to open the door. Seeing Ye Kai still looking very tired, he felt a little distressed and a little amused, so he jokingly comforted him: "Sleep a little longer? Don't take your dreams so seriously."
Ye Kai nodded and finally kissed him goodbye.
As soon as the person left, he felt sleepy and fell asleep again on the bed.
The dream came true as expected.
Someone broke the corner of Chen Youhan's mouth, it was slightly swollen and bruised, and there was blood stain.
He himself also felt a pain in his body.
Ye Kai looked down and saw that his clenched fist was shaking slightly due to the hot blood, and his finger bones were broken.
Chen Youhan poked the corner of his mouth with the tip of his tongue, spat out a mouthful of blood foam, and said coldly: "Come on, continue if you are not afraid of death."
In the dark alley where the neon lights could not reach, no one knew who had thrown the stick first. The footsteps stumbled back, and as they retreated, they stared at Chen Youhan warily and nervously.
The headlights of the car suddenly swept past, and Ye Kai saw clearly that it was a few gangsters. Their frightened faces formed an interesting contrast with Chen Youhan's seemingly relaxed back. Ye Kai glanced at them calmly again, and under the Tianyi school uniform, it turned out that Chen Youhan's muscles were also tense and bulging, like a beast ready to go. After the people left completely, he really relaxed.
The narrow and damp alley returned to silence, and a horn from somewhere sounded sharply.
Chen Youhan turned around, clenched his arms, his cruel expression was stained with pain, and his brows were deeply furrowed.
Ye Kai was stunned for a short moment, then reacted quickly: "Are you injured?"
Chen Youhan glanced at him without any emotion, bit the end of his sleeve, and bandaged his arm with his coat. "Let's go to the hospital."
Sitting in the taxi, Ye Kai rolled down the window and the night heat flowed in with the wind. When he turned around, he found Chen Youhan looking at him.
The wind blew up his hair, and the shadows of lights passed by his eyes, leaving a dark and colorful phantom on his clean face.
With his uninjured right hand resting on the car window, Chen Youhan had seen enough. He raised his eyes slightly and said cynically, "You are so beautiful, don't walk alone at night in the future."
