Chapter 28 The Old Men’s Little Secrets
When Xu Mingyao came back with the books, he saw the awkward scene of Yu An and Wan Cen sitting alone without talking to each other. The classmates in front and behind them were chatting happily with their deskmate, so that this pair of unfamiliar deskmates seemed particularly out of place in the class.
Yu An's desk was empty. He didn't dare put Claude and Xiaobai on the table. He secretly glanced at Wan Cen and saw that he was concentrating on reading without looking away. He quietly took out the two little friends and put them on his knees.
Claude felt very uncomfortable in Yu An's little pocket. The first thing he did after coming out was to stretch his little tentacles. Each tentacle extended outward, like a person stretching, or like a blooming flower.
Xiaobai is very clear about the location of his prohibited electronic products. He doesn't want his little master to be called to school by his parents on the first day of school. Xiaobai simply uses the display screen on his back as a chat screen, with lines of words appearing on it.
[Little Master, is your head still hurting? That idiot is so simple-minded and strong-limbed, and he actually cursed at me first. It's really annoying.]
"Young Master, don't be afraid of him. If he really wants to attack you, just... just use me as a hidden weapon and I'll bite him to death."
[Hmph, Xiaobai has decided to activate the time-honored skill passed down from his ancestors—curse him to constant Mercury retrograde!]
Yu An looked at the words scrolling rapidly on the screen and decided to appease the irritable Xiao Bai. He wrote on the screen stroke by stroke, "It's okay. He apologized to me."
As soon as Xiaobai heard Xu Mingyao scolding Yu An, it immediately turned on Zuan bird mode, concentrating on scolding Xu Mingyao and not noticing his subsequent apology at all.
But even after knowing the sequel, Xiaobai was still angry, [So what? Belated affection is cheaper than grass! ]
Yu An: “…”
After receiving Ruoyi's file, Xiaobai's temper became visibly more irritable. Those who didn't know would think that his data was poisoned.
Just as Xiaobai continued to criticize Xu Mingyao's actions, Yu An suddenly noticed a shadow looming in front of him. He looked up and met Xu Mingyao's eyes.
A strange sense of guilt rose from the bottom of Yu An's heart. Although Yu An had never scolded anyone, he still felt embarrassed about being caught talking bad about others behind their backs.
Yu An directly threw Xiaobai and Claude in his hands into the hole in the table. Because he didn't hold back his strength, the two little guys hit the wall of the hole in the table with a "bang".
Claude, who was caught off guard, said: "..."
Very good, He will be abandoned one day.
Oh my God!
Yu An regretted it on the spot, but he didn't dare to check on Claude and the others in front of Xu Mingyao. He just glanced into the hole in the table from time to time.
Hope they weren't broken and he didn't do it on purpose QAQ.
"What did you secretly bring to school?" Xu Mingyao put his hands on the table, his expression as if he had discovered Yu An's big secret. "Tell me quickly, or I'll tell the teacher."
Yu An was terrified and stood up subconsciously. His eyes began to turn red again due to anxiety. "I, I...can you please not tell the teacher? Please."
If Xiaobai and Claude were also taken away, Yu An’s study career would really be meaningless.
He could run home crying to his fathers on the spot.
Wan Cen watched his new deskmate being bullied and couldn't help but say, "Xu Mingyao, don't bully him. I saw you bring your phone into the classroom last time."
Xu Mingyao ignored him and looked directly at Yu An, who was clutching the corner of his clothes guiltily. "Did you bring your phone too?"
"No, I don't have my phone with me."
"So what did you bring?"
Yu An stopped talking again.
"You didn't bring your dolls with you, did you?" Xu Mingyao used his imagination and thought that bringing dolls to school was very appropriate for Yu An. "Are you inseparable from your dolls? Will you cry if you can't be with them?"
Yu An was stunned, and subconsciously put Claude and Xiaobai in the roles of the dolls, and nodded honestly.
Xu Mingyao smiled as if it was just as he expected. He could already imagine that before going to school in the morning, the obedient and soft little boy would stuff his favorite doll from the room into his schoolbag. If his parents stopped him, the little boy would cry while holding his beloved doll. That would be really pitiful.
Maybe his parents felt sorry for him and let him bring his baby to school.
Yu Ando didn't need to say much, Xu Mingyao had already imagined what had happened in his mind. His tanned face couldn't help but blush, which was a little cute.
At this time, he seemed to understand his friends who had beautiful younger brothers and sisters at home. If Yu An was his younger brother, he would also buy him candy every day after school.
"Hide your doll. If the teacher finds it, he will definitely take it away." Xu Mingyao advised Yu An in a good mood, "It will be useless for you to cry then."
After he said this, the class bell rang and all the students returned to their seats.
Yu An looked at Xu Mingyao's back as he left, feeling mixed emotions. Why was this guy so weird?
But at least he didn't complain to the teacher, so Claude and Xiaobai would not be taken away by the teacher. This made Yu An change his opinion of Xu Mingyao a lot.
Yu An knew all the knowledge learned in the second grade, so he felt very bored in class. He followed Wan Cen's example and piled all the books on the table to build a fortress of books. Under the cover of "The Ladder of Human Progress", Yu An boldly put his two little friends on the desk.
When other students are absent from class, they only need to be wary of the teacher, but Yu An needs to be wary of everyone in the classroom, especially Wan Cen.
Wan Cen sneaked over, and Yu An quickly covered Claude and Xiaobai.
Wan Cen: "I know a lot of rumors about monsters. Don't you really want to know?"
"In no mood."
"Why? You're not interested in monsters?"
Yu An: "Not interested."
What are the things that interest you since you were a child?
Wan Cen was stunned. He couldn't believe that a little boy would reject a mysterious unknown creature. He was silent for a moment, thinking of a possibility, and said, "I understand."
Yu An blinked his big eyes, "What?"
"I know why you don't like monsters." Wan Cen's eyes behind the glasses flashed with wisdom, and he said confidently, "Because you prefer playing with dolls."
Yu An: “…”
Sure enough, coming to school was a wrong decision.
Wan Cen saw that Yu An didn't want to pay attention to him, and didn't want to make himself bored, so he tore off a piece of draft paper and passed a note to the students in front of him to discuss their favorite monsters.
The morning passed quietly. In the last class, Yu An suddenly felt itchy on his ankle. He looked down and saw the snow-white little snake looking at him with its little head tilted up.
The little snake's tail was wrapped around the shivering giant-eared rabbit.
[Little An'an.] Snow Snake's clear, youthful voice echoed in Yu An's mind. [We've come to find you.]
Because the giant-eared rabbit's mouth was blocked by the snake's tail, it could only make a whimpering sound, and the little rabbit was about to cry to death.
It doesn't want to come to this Usatos cub!
Yu An looked at them in surprise, looked left and right, made sure no one noticed him, bent down and picked up the snow snake.
The space on the table was limited, so Yu An put Claude and Xiaobai into his schoolbag, and placed the snow snake and rabbit on the table.
Yu An stroked the snow snake along its scales. The snake felt icy cold all over, and it felt very comfortable to touch. [Why did you come to see me? Where are Brother Yunshu and the others?]
[They're in another building. The annoying guy and the twins are still keeping an eye on that wimp.] Snow Snake, who disliked humans, rubbed Yu An's thumb. [We're going to the cafeteria to eat later. The annoying guy was worried you wouldn't be able to find them, so he asked me to come find you first.]
There is an inseparable connection between the alien species and the mutants, and Fu Yunshu can find Yu An through the snow snake.
Yu An was very touched that his brothers still cared about him.
After the last class in the morning, Yu An was hungry, so he put the four little ones in his mouth and took them to eat. He took out the meal card given to him by Teacher Yao and thought about what to eat for lunch today and whether there was any strawberry cake in the cafeteria.
He was the last one to leave the classroom, but he didn't expect Xu Mingyao to be standing at the door. This familiar position made Yu An's heart tighten. He subconsciously raised his hand to cover his forehead, and his round eyes looked at him vigilantly.
"Last time was just an accident. I wouldn't hit you." Xu Mingyao explained to Yu An awkwardly, "This is your first day at school. You probably don't know the way. How about I take you to the cafeteria?"
Yu An really didn't know the way to the cafeteria. Just as he was about to agree, Xueshe told him that Fu Yunshu and the others were already waiting for him downstairs of the teaching building.
"No need." Yu An smiled, but refused Xu Mingyao without hesitation, "My brother is downstairs, I'll go find them."
After saying this, he ignored Xu Mingyao's dark face and went straight downstairs to find Fu Yunshu and the others.
Fu Yunshu, Gu Yixing and Gu Ersheng were waiting for Yu An at the stairs. Yu An saw them as soon as he came downstairs. He waved to them happily and trotted to them like a happy little butterfly.
Fu Yunshu's eyes softened as he patted Yu An's little head. "How is your school life?"
Yu An thought for a moment and said, "It's not as interesting as I thought, but it's not too bad either."
There are many interesting classmates in the school, and some cute little girls gave him a lot of candies and cakes. There is still a lot of snacks in the hole of Yu An’s desk, all of which are gifts from his classmates.
Fu Yunshu nodded when he heard this, "That's good."
He was originally worried that Yu An would not be able to adapt to life in school, but now it seems that little Yu An has a strong ability to adapt.
Yu An returned the snow snake to Fu Yunshu. The snow snake rubbed its head against Yu An's hand reluctantly, "Hey, baby, don't return me to that annoying guy. Isn't it good for me to follow you?"
Yu An glanced at Fu Yunshu and tapped his forehead. "But Brother Yunshu is your good friend."
Snow Snake scoffed, "He's not."
If the mutant had not been unable to stay away from the alien species that infected him for a long time, Fu Yunshu would have killed the snow snake long ago. After all, he could not accept something disgusting following him.
Yu An knew nothing about this. He only knew that Xueshe and Fu Yunshu were inseparable, which was the behavior of good friends.
Fu Yunshu took the snow snake and stuffed it directly into his pocket. He turned around and said, "Let's go. It's time to have lunch."
Gu Yixing walked around behind Yu An and pushed him forward. "Let's go, I'm already hungry. Let's go and see if there's anything delicious in this school."
Gu Ersheng suddenly noticed a gaze, turned around and looked together with Xu Mingyao who was not far away. He clearly saw Xu Mingyao's eyes on Yu An. He raised his eyebrows slightly, turned around and followed Yu An and others.
Gu Ersheng: "An An, do you know Xu Mingyao?"
"Yes, he is in the same class as me." Yu An nodded. "Do you know him?"
"Of course I know him." Gu Ersheng introduced him to Yu An as they walked. "Xu Mingyao is the youngest son of the Xu family in Kyoto. He has an older brother who is an S-level judge. However, Xu Mingyao has no special abilities. In order to let him live a stable life, his family concealed the existence of special species from him."
Yu An fell into deep thought after hearing this. He remembered Old Xu. He was a very serious grandfather with a cane in his hand, but his cane was not used to help him walk, but to beat people.
Xiaobai jumped out at this time, raising one of his little wings, "I know, I also know that Mr. Xu and Mr. Fu fought over the same woman before."
Yu An, Gu Yixing, and Gu Ersheng: "......!!!"
They all looked at Fu Yunshu at the same time, with obvious gossip and curiosity in their eyes.
Fu Yunshu laughed, "Don't look at me, I don't know either. I've been in the base since I was two years old. I rarely go home, so I'm not familiar with the old man."
Since even his own grandson doesn’t know about it, we can only rely on Xiaobai to continue revealing it.
Xiao Bai held his chest high and straightened his back, continuing to recount the story with emotion, "It happened ten years ago. Two old men in their sixties fell in love with a professor in the Foreign Languages Department of Kyoto University who had been widowed for many years. The female professor was in her fifties, but she still had a charming demeanor, and she captivated the two old men."
"Later, the old professor couldn't stand the harassment and flew out of the country overnight, hiding from the two men and not coming back. The two old men, because of their special status, were not allowed to go abroad to pursue love. They blamed each other for this, believing that the other party's constant pressure had separated them from their lovers."
"At the time, Mr. Fu had broken his leg and was using a cane. In a fit of rage, he immediately stood on one leg, picked up his cane, and beat Mr. Xu. From then on, Mr. Xu also carried a cane with him every day, ready to fight Mr. Fu to the death at any time."
Xiaobai's story was vivid and colorful, and Yu An and the other two listened with great interest. Yu An opened his mouth slightly in shock, and it was hard to imagine that such highly respected professors like Mr. Fu and Mr. Xu would have such a past.
Fu Yunshu listened to his grandfather's gossip with embarrassment but politeness.
Little White and Little Wings covered their mouths and laughed secretly, "I also have a video of them pulling out their hair flowers, do you want to see it?"
Hesitation for a second is against the old men
Nan Feng
Disrespectful, Yu An and others nodded repeatedly.
Xiaobai: "Okay, I'll send it to your phone when I get back. Remember to give Xiaobai a good review, dear~"
Yu An pinched it and said with a smile, "Is it a gift from Aunt Ruoyi?"
Xiaobai: "Yes! In fact, you would know if you ask Master Wen. He was chewing an apple while the old men were fighting, but the apple was snatched away by Old Master Xu and thrown at Old Master Fu."
So exciting!
But Yu An pouted the next second and said defensively, "How can they bully my dad?"
He actually stole dad's apple. This is too much.
Amidst the gossip, several people walked to the cafeteria. The school cafeteria had three floors. The dishes on the first and second floors were rich and affordable. The dishes on the third floor were luxurious and the prices were very touching. It was specially provided for wealthy children.
Yu An and his companions wanted to monitor Zhou Xia, so they went from the first floor to the second floor and found Zhou Xia in a small corner.
Zhou Xia was sitting alone at a long table. The students at other tables were eating and chatting in groups, but his table was deserted and looked out of place in the crowded cafeteria.
Yu An looked at Zhou Xia and said softly, "He seems very lonely."
After a whole morning of understanding, Fu Yunshu had a rough idea of Zhou Xia's awkward position in the class. The gap between the poor students who got in based on their grades and the rich second generation was difficult to bridge.
Unfortunately, Zhou Xia was introverted, timid, and unpopular. As time went by, he became a marginal figure in the class and had no friends at all.
Fu Yunshu told this to Yu An, who was stunned. "So... is he isolated?"
Fu Yunshu nodded, "You can say that."
Gu Yixing leaned on Gu Ersheng's shoulder and sighed, "But he's quite amazing. He didn't say a word for the entire morning and just read books wholeheartedly. Wouldn't he be bored?"
Gu Ersheng nodded seriously, "It's really amazing. If it were my brother, he would probably die of suffocation if he didn't talk for a whole morning."
"Gu Ersheng!" Gu Yixing couldn't help but hear that he was mocking him. He pinched his face and pulled it, "You're so brave! I'm your brother!"
They would always start fighting, and Yu An was used to it. He looked at Zhou Xia's lonely back and thought of the time after his grandmother passed away, when he was alone.
But he was luckier than Zhou Xia, as Monday was with him.
Yu An was in a complicated mood. After thinking for a while, he suggested, "Let's sit with him."
Fu Yunshu saw his good intentions and said, "You'd better ask him. Zhou Xia and we are not friends. He may not welcome us to be with him."
After all, they were the ones monitoring him.
Yu An still decided to give it a try. Fu Yunshu didn't stop him. He asked him what he wanted to eat and he would buy it for him.
Yu An looked at various signs and after a while, he chose one. "Eat steamed pork with rice flour."
"good."
Fu Yunshu went to buy steamed pork with rice flour for Yu An, and the twins also went to the cafeteria to look for their favorite food. Before leaving, Gu Ersheng turned Yu An half a circle to face him.
"Xiao An'an, I've been trying to convince Zhou Xia that there's no room left in the cafeteria." Gu Ersheng glanced at Zhou Xia, his eyebrows furrowed in distress. "It's better to share a table with him than to sit with a stranger."
Yu An felt that he had a heavy responsibility, so he clenched his fists silently and nodded, "Okay!"
On the other side, Zhou Xia, who was eating, suddenly felt a chill, his hair stood on end, and the terrifying feeling of being targeted by a natural enemy lingered.
He put down his chopsticks and looked around nervously. Seeing Yu An obviously walking towards him, Zhou Xia's heart tightened and he subconsciously wanted to run away. However, he had only taken a few bites and had not finished the food. He couldn't waste it!
For a moment, Zhou Xia was stunned, watching Yu An getting closer and closer to him.
