Chapter 69
As soon as Lin Huaichen left, Yu An leaned against the door and gasped in shock. At this moment, he felt the fear and worry of a good child doing bad things without telling his parents, and of course, there was also a faint sense of excitement.
Yu An's heartbeat gradually subsided. He turned around and bumped into a hard body. He touched his nose, which was a little painful from the collision, and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I went to your room but couldn't find you." Claude sat down in the rocking chair in front of his window, his long legs a little awkward to move. "We've confirmed our relationship, shouldn't we tell our parents? Why are we hiding it from them?"
Yu An said confidently, "We are just in a romantic relationship and haven't reached the stage of discussing marriage. There is no need to meet the parents."
"Really?" Claude was puzzled. Why didn't his love manual say this? Shouldn't the next stage of a confirmed relationship be meeting parents, getting married, and having children?
Yu An nodded affirmatively, "Yes."
He had just recently assured Lin Huaichen and Wen Xun that there was no possibility for him and Claude to be together, but now, not even a week had passed, and he was already involved with Claude.
Just thinking about it makes him feel embarrassed. Yu An still has to save face. Anyway, he must not tell his fathers about his relationship during this period. As for how long he can keep it a secret, that depends on God's will.
Seeing Yu An's insistence, Claude gave up the idea of confronting Lin Huaichen, but his experience in the human world was not as good as Yu An's, so Yu An must be right, there was no doubt about that.
"Then we have to keep our relationship a secret. Don't let my dad and his family know. My dad is very fragile. We have to take it slow and gradual. We can't scare them."
Yu An sat beside Claude and gave him detailed instructions, "Anyway, for the next period of time, our behavior must not arouse their suspicion, so you should not always stare at me... like you are doing now."
Yu An reached out and turned Claude's face to the other side. "Your eyes are obviously unclean, so when my fathers are around, try to reduce eye contact with me."
What else could Claude say? He naturally nodded in agreement, but he still had doubts about Lin Huaichen's fragility.
After chatting about this and that and barely covering all aspects of life, it was time for dinner. Yu An reluctantly went downstairs and sat down next to Wen Xun.
Not long after, Claude also came down from upstairs. Yu An immediately lowered his head and pretended to be concentrating on eating without any distractions.
Lin Huaichen picked up some food for Yu An, his eyes full of heartache. "Is your university really that good? You've lost a lot of weight in just one week. How about I buy a house outside the school and let Auntie cook for you?"
"Cough cough cough..." Yu An choked and couldn't stop coughing. Wen Xun brought him a tissue. Claude couldn't help but looked over with concern.
Yu An took the paper handed to him by Wen Xun and said, "Thank you, Dad."
At the same time, he quickly glared at Claude. Claude smiled helplessly, understood what he was saying, and lowered his head again. Anyone who saw him would think that he and Yu An were still arguing.
Lin Huaichen patted Yu An's back gently. "Eat slowly, there's still a lot left. Sigh...what a hard life you've been through in school. It's even worse than when you were in Xu Ye Ning's crappy school."
"Dad, University A is actually pretty good." Yu An silently defended the school, "Compared to other schools, it's one of the top ones."
"Is there a new beginning?"
Yu An: “…Not really.”
There is really no other school in the country that can compare with the wealth and power of Xinqi College.
Suddenly, Wen Xun stood up and went to the second floor to get a campus card, and handed it to Yu An, "Since the food at Xinqi is good, you can go eat there. It's next door anyway."
From Yu An’s reaction just now, Wen Xun could see that he didn’t want to rent a house outside, but after all, he was his baby who had been raised since childhood, and Wen Xun was reluctant to let him suffer.
Since Yu An thinks the food at Xinqi College is good, it’s not a bad idea to just arrange for him to eat there.
Yu An had seen this card at Gu Yixing's place. Every student at Xinqi College had one, but its appearance was far less exquisite than the one he had now. It was the same as Claude's. It must have been specially given to the teachers by the school.
Yu An was curious, "Dad, how did you get this?"
Wen Xun said slowly, "Your principal Yu asked me to go to Xinqi College for classes. I agreed, and he gave this to me."
Yu An asked in surprise: "When did this happen?"
Not only Yu An was unaware, Lin Huaichen was also clueless. But that was all. Even Claude, who had taught students at Xinqi College for a year or two, seemed confused.
Lin Huaichen began to brainstorm, trying to search his previous memories, wondering if Wen Xun had mentioned it to him and he just forgot.
But no matter how hard he tried to recall, he still had no impression of it.
Claude: "...but I've never seen you in school."
"Because I only go there once a year and teach a class at most." Wen Xun's brows were filled with a hint of joy. "They put my name out there to recruit students. I just need to show up at the beginning of the school year."
“It’s just that sometimes I need to say a few words to the student representatives.”
For a social insulator like Wen Xun, these few short sentences made him extremely upset, but this was already the limit of Principal Yu's concessions. If he was pushed any further, he would probably collapse and hang himself in front of him.
Yu An shrank his neck, "Is that so..."
It seems that when I go to Xinqi College in the future, I not only have to be wary of Gu and his group, but I have to be on guard against Wen Xun who may appear at any time. In comparison, the latter is more terrifying.
The whole meal made Yu An's heart very nervous. After the meal was finally finished, Yu An did not dare to stay any longer and hurriedly said, "I'm so sleepy. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed. Good night, Dad."
"Is this kid hiding something from us?" Lin Huaichen watched Yu An's back as he quickly left. "He's been acting strangely today."
Wen Xun also felt the same way. He looked at Claude and asked, "Do you know the reason?"
Although Claude and Yu An have been in conflict recently, the image of them being so close to each other before still remains in Wen Xun's mind, so he subconsciously thinks that Claude knows the reason for Yu An's abnormality.
In fact, Claude did know, but after Yu An's repeated warnings, he dared not tell the truth. Humans' ability to read people's expressions is ridiculously strong. If he was found out, Yu An would scold him to death.
So, Claude chose to remain silent.
Wen Xun looked at him for a long time, and finally, unable to bear the dry eyes, he looked away first, pretending that he had not said anything just now, lowered his eyes, and continued eating.
Wen Xun found it strange that there was someone even more taciturn than him.
On the other side, after taking a nice hot bath, Yu An lay relaxed on the bed, completely unaware of Claude's dire situation.
Only then did Yu An have time to check the messages on his phone. There were already 99+ messages in the dormitory group, most of which were about gossip and ridiculous things that happened at school.
Yu An just glanced and didn't participate.
At this time, Gu Yihang sent him a link to a forum post. Yu An had been traumatized by the forum of Xinqi College in recent days. He held his breath and clicked on the link. Sure enough, it was about Claude and his affairs again.
But things are different now. The fake couple has become a real couple. When he saw this familiar post again, his mood became extremely complicated.
If it weren't for this post, he and Claude probably wouldn't have made their feelings known so early.
Gu Yihang sent a series of emojis, [An An! An An An An! Ahhhhh!]
Could this reaction be because he knew he was with Claude? Yu An pursed his lips and typed a few lines, [I am indeed with...]
[The chief instructor is actually from your father's faction. Do you know who his mysterious boyfriend is? Ahhhh—I really think I know! An'an, please mobilize your powerful connections and help me realize this wish.]
Yu An: “…”
Delete this line silently.
After much thought, Yu An was really curious. "Why are you so curious about Claude's boyfriend? Isn't falling in love a normal thing?"
Gu Yixing: [It's normal, but it's not normal for the Chief Instructor to do that. We firmly believe that the Chief Instructor will never find anyone who likes him!]
Yu An was embarrassed. Could it be that liking Claude would become a criminal record? Not really...
[Of course, An An, if you really find out, don't try to force yourself on his boyfriend. Two different people can sleep in the same bed. I can already imagine how vicious the Chief Instructor's boyfriend is.]
Yu An: “…”
He typed and deleted a paragraph, deleted and typed it again, hinting at him, "...So do you think I'm a vicious person?"
But he obviously overestimated Gu Yixing's intelligence. Gu Yixing didn't even think about it that way. [Hahahaha, An An, you're so funny. You're obviously the sweet type.]
Yu An expressionless: [...Haha, I think I'm pretty funny too.]
The opportunity to touch the truth was right in front of him, but Gu Yixing was able to overturn it directly. In this regard, Yu An also admired him very much.
At the end of the conversation, Gu Yihang was still begging Yu An to find out the news and satisfy his strong curiosity. Yu An was too lazy to explain to him and agreed to everything.
Gu Yixing: [Alas, our school assignments have gotten a lot more hectic. We have to leave for City B at 5:00 tomorrow morning. I guess we'll be out of touch for the next week. Woohoo, baby, goodnight.]
So busy?
Yu An was very surprised. He remembered that Gu Yihang and his team had just gone out on a field mission not long ago. It had only been a short time and they were going out again. It seemed that the disadvantages of the shortage of people with special abilities were indeed huge.
The next morning, Yu An got up early and rushed to school. In order to avoid suspicion, Claude had already gone ahead, so Yu An got into Lin Huaichen's car.
When they were almost at the school, Lin Huaichen suddenly said, "An An, have you been worried about something lately?"
This sentence scared Yu An so much that he woke up halfway from his sleep. He stared at Lin Huaichen with his eyes wide open, basically confessing himself.
Lin Huaichen's eyes flashed with a smile, and his tone was gentle, "Don't be nervous, An An, I'm just asking, your father Wen Xun and I are not unreasonable parents, if you have any troubles, you can tell us without worry."
Yu An knew that his fathers were very kind, so he said in a soft voice, "I do have something to hide from you...but I'm just afraid that you'll be angry."
Lin Huaichen hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation yet. He smiled and said, "No, we are very stable."
"Really?" Yu An quietly raised his eyes and looked at him, "Then...what if I say that I'm in love? Or I'm in love with...with Claude."
Lin Huaichen's smile froze on his face, then gradually disappeared. "Baby, you don't have to use your ultimate move right away. I don't have any heart pills with me..."
"It's fake." Yu An immediately tried to make amends, "It was just a joke. Don't get excited, Dad. Take a deep breath, inhale...exhale."
It took Lin Huaichen several minutes to recover. The shock of seeing his beloved son and Claude together was too great. Although Yu An finally denied it, Lin Huaichen was still frightened. Yu An almost flipped the car and dared not speak. For a moment, the car was silent.
After turning a corner, University A was within reach, and more students were coming and going. Lin Huaichen's luxury car worth tens of millions attracted countless eyes as soon as it appeared, and many car experts took out their mobile phones to take pictures with excitement on their faces.
Yu An is not the type of person who likes to be in the spotlight, and Lin Huaichen also understands him, so he asked the driver to go around and find a seat with fewer people before Yu An got off the car.
"Then I'm going to school. Goodbye, Dad."
Just like when he was a child, Yu An would still wave goodbye to Lin Huaichen obediently when he arrived at school.
Lin Huaichen was dazed and couldn't tell what day it was. It seemed that all of a sudden, Yu An grew from a little kid who liked to ask him for hugs to the young boy he is now, so fast that Lin Huaichen couldn't react.
"Goodbye An An."
Lin Huaichen calmed himself down, said goodbye to him with a smile, watched Yu An's back as he walked towards the school gate, and thought of his "joke" just now, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
It can be seen from Yu An's panic-stricken behavior that there is really something fishy between him and Claude, and only Yu An, this silly little fool, would think that he can really hide it from him.
But what can be done? Lin Huaichen naturally would not force Yu An. The only thing he could do was to improve his ability to accept.
…
Yu An had just returned to the dormitory when his enthusiastic roommate greeted him. He also smiled and said hello.
"An An, did you see that luxury car outside the school just now?" Zhu Ziyan, who loved the hustle and bustle, asked him excitedly, "Someone just said they saw the boss's car outside the school gate. I heard there are only three of them in the whole country. How come I didn't get such a rare opportunity? Ahhh, I missed out on ten billion!"
Yu An shook his head, sat on the chair, supported his chin with his hands, and stared at a certain place in a daze.
What if the fathers still can't accept Claude? Will he break up with her? But he's only been dating her for one day and can't bear to let her go.
Liu Hong had been staring at Yu An since he returned to the dormitory. Seeing that he was unhappy and seemed troubled, Liu Hong asked caringly, "An An? Is there something bothering you?"
Yu An sighed and shook his head.
Liu Hong sat beside him, like a caring older brother, and said, "Tell us, it's not good for your health to keep your worries bottled up inside."
Zhu Ziyan also said: "Yeah, what happened? Maybe we can help you with some advice.
Under the persuasion of his roommates, Yu An gradually wavered, "It's just... my dad is not very satisfied with my boyfriend, and I don't dare to tell them now."
Bang!
Liu Hong's reaction was so strong that he almost fell off his chair. He managed to steady himself and said bitterly, "An An, you have a boyfriend!?"
Yu Xiaoyu, who had been silently doing the questions, also put down his pen and looked at Yu An in surprise.
Zhu Ziyan was also shocked, "Are you gay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong. "No, I don't mean to discriminate against you, I'm just surprised..."
Yu An shook his head, not feeling offended, "It's okay, I just found out about it yesterday too."
Liu Hong: "How do you know that?"
"My boyfriend confessed to me."
Liu Hong was heartbroken again. He took a deep breath and suppressed the bitterness in his heart. He never expected that his relationship would end before it even began.
Out of some unknown emotion, Liu Hong took the initiative to ask: "What does your boyfriend do?"
Yu An thought for two seconds and said, "He should be a university teacher."
Damn it, let’s tell the high-income people.
Liu Hong: "...Then how did you two know each other?"
"We've known each other since we were very young. He always took care of me and played with me. We're all doing well until now."
Liu Hong was about to hold back the tears in his eyes. He shouldn't have asked this question!
It's even more heartbreaking.
