World One
This Saturday, Luan Ye took the bus directly to the bookstore.
After entering the bookstore, he picked up a book on the first floor, then walked to the rest area on the second floor and sat down.
Luan Ye scanned the code and ordered a cup of lemon juice, which is the cheapest but never has rock sugar in it. He drank it while waiting for Gao Yuan to come.
Ever since he started to intentionally or unintentionally let Gao Yuan see his photos with Yu Xiaoduo, the other party changed their meeting place to here, and didn't even ask him why he suddenly sent him a photo with a girl.
Ever since they got together, Gao Yuan changed his original personality. Whatever Gao Yuan said was what it was, and Gao Yuan would never raise a sign of opposition to him.
Sometimes Luan Ye wanted to ask Gao Yuan directly: Aren’t you really angry?
He was with Gao Yuan in the first place because of his straightforward personality. He liked people who faced problems directly instead of running away.
But since when, Gao Yuan began to look back frequently, as if he was afraid that someone would find out that they were a couple.
Two people who were originally walking along the same path were forced to walk in a curve because of one of them. Your foot tripped mine, and my hand hit your head uncontrollably. In the end, both of them successfully fell flat on their faces.
After taking a few sips of the very sour lemon juice that was never sweetened, Luan Ye saw the figure coming up the stairs.
Gao Yuan was a long-distance runner with a special athletic background. He was tall, had long legs, and a straight back. He always liked to take long strides when he walked. So even with a bucket hat covering half his face, he still stood out.
Luan Ye knew that Gao Yuan didn't like him calling him in a crowded place, so he just glanced at him and continued to play with his phone, as if he didn't know this person at all.
After a while, Gao Yuan came over on his own accord.
He chose a seat diagonally opposite Luan Ye and sat down, then turned on his cell phone.
A new message immediately popped up on Luan Ye's phone.
: I'm here, what's up?
Luan Ye flipped back a page of the book that was pretentiously placed in front of him, looked down at his phone, and clicked a few times.
：This is a very important matter. Let me think about how to tell you first.
He lowered his head while typing, so naturally he didn't see Gao Yuan subconsciously frowning when he saw this sentence.
Gao Yuan has a masculine appearance, the kind of face that men would say "you're so good-looking" when they see him. His smile can attract many girls and boys.
But Gao Yuan is good in every way except for his lack of smiles and conversation. Even when he does talk to people, he always gives off the vibe of, "Pay attention when you talk to me, or I'll fucking beat you to death."
As soon as Gao Yuangang frowned, the waiter who was about to go over to remind him that the place had a 'one sit, one drink' policy immediately stopped and walked to the side - maybe he should remind him later, as the man looked quite fierce, as if he was going to hit someone the next second.
:good.
A new crack appeared on Gao Yuan’s tempered glass.
Ever since Luan Ye intentionally or unintentionally posted photos of himself and Yu Xiaoduo, the cracks on Gao Yuan's phone screen started to increase, and it looked like it would be scrapped in the next second.
Gao Yuan certainly knew that Luan Ye and Yu Xiaoduo were very close.
Because there are always a lot of people commenting under the photos posted by Luan Ye, he now even knows what department the girl is studying in and what kind of personality she has.
If it was when the two of them had just started dating, he would have already started asking Luan Ye what was going on.
But he didn't dare to ask now. He didn't dare to ask his boyfriend whether those so-called "rumors" were true or not, and what those photos sent to him meant.
He was afraid of hearing the answer he didn't want to hear.
Gao Yuan was afraid that Luan Ye would say he still preferred women. He was also afraid that Luan Ye would tell him that he and Yu Xiaoduo were not actually together. So, how long would it take before they could officially announce their relationship to everyone they knew?
After almost a few minutes, Luan Ye sent a new message.
: Forget it, come over here and I’ll talk to you face to face.
Gao Yuan hesitated for a moment, looked around first to see that no one was paying attention to him, then stood up and walked to Luan Ye and sat down.
"Yu Xiaoduo and I...you remember her, right?" Luan Ye turned to look at Gao Yuan. "Now everyone in our school thinks she and I are in love."
Gao Yuan stared at the new crack that appeared on his phone. He didn't dare look at Luan Ye beside him, for fear that his eyes would reveal his true thoughts: "...Remember, what do you mean by this?"
Are you finally going to confess?
Tell yourself that I actually prefer women?
"What I mean is that she likes me and has confessed to me before." Luan Ye pointed to the straw in the drink and motioned Gao Yuan to drink. "So I asked her to cooperate with me in a play, and the audience is you."
Gao Yuan really had no interest in drinking anything at the moment, but following Luan Ye's instructions had become his instinct, so he lowered his head and took a sip: "What play?"
After just one bite, he felt like his teeth were about to be soured: What is this taste! ?
"The scene where I forced you to come out to me." Luan Ye tapped the table lightly and continued, "I explained the situation to her in advance. She also knew that I actually had a boyfriend, but she didn't know who he was."
The system that was originally chattering non-stop beside Luan Ye stopped in mid-air, then it moved to Gao Yuan, and then back to Luan Ye.
First look at this, then look at that.
Luan Ye found it a little funny that he could see the confused emotion in the eyes of a fur ball.
[What did you do just now?] The system asked him, [Host.]
Why did Gao Yuan's anger suddenly drop?
[What did I do?] Luan Ye also joined the confused group, [I didn’t do anything?]
The system stopped dangling in front of Luan Ye's eyes and flew directly to a corner, muttering, "The Creator is right. Humans are indeed very strange."
Luan Ye felt like he was being bombarded by a star: [You're the weird one.]
You are the strangest. You are a strange ball of yarn with eyes. You don’t have wings but you can still fly.
"...What do you mean?" Gao Yuan silently pushed the sour drink away from him. "What do you mean by acting...?"
Why did he clearly know the meaning of these words, but when they were put together, he felt confused?
"I was just planning to use her to motivate you, and she agreed pretty quickly. So I thought... this plan would definitely work." Luan Ye handed his phone directly to Gao Yuan. "I've deleted Yu Xiaoduo's contact information, but you can still find the chat history from that time by searching for key sentences. You can read the rest yourself."
He really wasn't in the mood to explain things to Gao Yuan right now.
Gao Yuan stared at the phone Luan Ye handed him for a while, his frown starting to relax, and then he slowly exhaled: "Okay, what's the key sentence?"
"You know I like you." Luan Ye flicked the cup, thought for a moment, and added, "You don't want other people to know about this, do you?"
"Huh?" Gao Yuan was stunned, and then his ears began to turn red.
No, why are you being so shy here? Luan Ye was speechless.
"The first half of the sentence was her immediate reaction when I told her about this idea." Seeing Gao Yuan's reaction, Luan Ye couldn't help but explain, "The second half is what she's been saying to me a lot lately."
"The second half of the sentence..." Gao Yuan leaned closer to Luan Ye, his tone becoming a little anxious. "Is she threatening you?"
"Yeah." Luan Ye got a little angry when he mentioned this.
When I came out to my parents who didn't care much about him after my divorce, he was very direct and told them that I just like men.
If he wasn't afraid that Gao Yuan's information would be dug out by someone with ulterior motives, when Yu Xiaoduo used this to threaten him, he would definitely say, "Then you try it."
While Luan Ye was calling herself an idiot in her heart, Gao Yuan was concentrating on reading the chat history between her boyfriend and Yu Xiaoduo.
He even drank the lemonade again.
Luan Ye did not lie.
The first chat records with Yu Xiaoduo were just ordinary exchanges between classmates. Later, they began to chat about things in class, and then Luan Ye told Yu Xiaoduo about "that idea".
Yu Xiaoduo didn't hesitate for long before agreeing to this idea.
The subsequent chat records were normal at first, but after a while, Yu Xiaoduo no longer concealed her true thoughts, and her wording changed from the tone of a good classmate at the beginning to a threatening tone.
So... Gao Yuan raised his head and looked at Luan Ye next to him.
After figuring out some of these things, his eyes became bright.
So Luan Ye was not planning to be with Yu Xiaoduo as he originally thought, nor was he planning to break up with him!
Instead, she came to him to find a solution and resolve the matter with Yu Xiaoduo at the same time? !
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Luan Ye had just finished calling himself an idiot, and turned around to meet Gao Yuan's bright eyes, feeling completely bewildered. "Have you finished reading it? You're reading it so quickly?" Did he not read it carefully at all?
"Yeah." Gao Yuan nodded. "I've finished reading it all, and I read it very carefully."
When I first participated in the competition and looked at the so-called precautions, I didn’t take them as seriously as I do now.
"It's good that you've finished reading it." Luan Ye reached out and tapped the wall of the cup. "Um, so you..."
Would you consider breaking up with me now?
"So you came to me to find a solution with me." Gao Yuan suddenly leaned in close, not blinking, and asked seriously, "Is that right?"
hand.
The unexpected development left Luan Ye completely stunned.
To be fair, this kind of Gao Yuan is much more pleasing to his eyes than the cowardly Gao Yuan.
However, this unconventional question really surprised him, and he had no idea how to answer it.
He opened his mouth, then decisively called the system in his mind.
The system, muttering to itself about growing mushrooms, heard the host's call and immediately flew over: [Host, what's wrong?!]
"Did you hear what he just said to me?" Luan Ye pretended to be thinking about what he said, but in reality, he was frantically pressing the help button to request off-site assistance. "So what should I do now?"
His original plan was actually to break up with Gao Yuan directly. As for the fact that Gao Yuan might mistakenly think that he was two-timing, he was actually too lazy to explain.
But in the middle of the process, a system suddenly appeared and asked him to correct his wrong view of love and also to change Gao Yuan's view of love.
As a result, things turned out like this.
[Host, you can now work with him to find a solution.] The system paused in mid-air. [Although asking Xiaoduo for help was a mistake, you didn't intend to do anything bad by doing so. Now, just figure out how to solve the problem, and all problems will be solved.]
Luan Ye didn't want to pay attention to it: [Isn't this just a bunch of nonsense? ]
The reason why he asked Yu Xiaoduo to help him act out this drama was to force Gao Yuan to come out to him.
Gao Yuan kept saying, "One day, I'll walk hand in hand with you in the sunshine," but he'd already said the same thing to himself at least ten times. Gao Yuan was so determined not to come out. He'd refused to come out before, so I couldn't just come out to him now because of this, could I?
But after the system said this... Luan Ye actually had an idea in his mind.
"I'm not here to talk to you about anything else, nor am I here to resolve this matter with you." Luan Ye suddenly said, "I know you don't want to come out to me, and you haven't been willing to tell me why."
Gao Yuan originally thought that he was telling him this in order to solve the problem with him, but he didn't expect Luan Ye to say that, and the little joy in his heart disappeared.
"I'm telling you because I'm really fed up. I don't want to worry about what others think every day, and I don't want to hide everything." Luan Ye ignored the system that had been spinning rapidly in front of him. "If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. I know coming out takes courage."
"But I'm really fed up now. I could definitely find someone willing to accompany me instead of wasting time here with you." Luan Ye stood up as he spoke, looking down at him, and continued in a voice only the two of them could hear, "As for what happened with Yu Xiaoduo, I will explain it clearly to her. I promise you, even if things end up to the point of no return, no one will know about your relationship with me."
Gao Yuan didn't say anything. He felt that he should stop Luan Ye now because Luan Ye looked like he was about to leave.
He also felt that he could now explain to Luan Ye why he didn't want to come out, but he didn't dare.
He still felt very scared, afraid of other people's strange looks, and also afraid that Luan Ye would blame him for it.
Luan Ye didn't say anything, turned around and walked out, ignoring the system that kept telling him to calm down.
——He is very calm now!
Whether you will succeed or fail depends on this one move!
Gao Yuan didn't know where he got the courage from. He reached out and grabbed Luan Ye's arm.
Luan Ye was caught off guard and stumbled when he was dragged by him. His face was full of confusion and bewilderment. "What are you doing?"
The system next to it looked left and right, and always felt that the situation would not develop as it originally thought, so it silently shut up.
Their movements were so big that the people who were reading next to them looked over. After seeing the expressions of the two people, they turned their heads back at the same time.
"It's you... Can you wait a little longer?" Gao Yuan noticed the gazes of the people around him and lowered his head when he said this, not daring to look Luan Ye in the eye. "Wait a little longer, okay? I will definitely tell you what's going on."
But I still need time now.
So could you...wait for me a little longer?
