World One
Yu Xiaoduo still held the evidence he had given her before.
Luan Ye wrote down a new note and tried to hum a short part of the melody he had written previously. It sounded pretty good.
So if I break up with her directly, it won't take long for the whole school to know that he is gay, and he might even become a homosexual who cheats on others.
Luan Ye threw away his pen and fell back on the bed.
...Although he promised Gao Yuan to break up with Yu Xiaoduo, he couldn't think of a way to have the best of both worlds for the time being.
Perhaps having heard the noise from the upper bunk, Luan Ye suddenly popped his head out of the lower bunk, grabbed the outermost railing of the upper bunk and asked him, "What's wrong? Luan, the school hunk."
Several other roommates also poked their heads out.
Luan Ye sighed.
"I just feel a little tired suddenly," he said casually, "it's okay."
"Is it because you can't write the music?" But his bunkmate, Xu Zhixin, was a warm-hearted person who couldn't read other people's expressions, so he continued to ask, "...or is it because your ears are injured?"
Luan Ye sat up immediately, and his movement was so violent that he almost bumped into the mosquito net above his head.
When his roommates walked into the dormitory while saying "It's a pity you didn't go to get some food", he had clearly taken the medicine back.
So how did Xu Zhixin know that his ear was injured?
Could it be that Xu Zhixin was also on the playground at that time?
See it?
Or did you hear his conversation with Gao Yuan?
"Hey," Xu Zhixin probably thought Luan Ye was going to say something, and immediately added the second half of the sentence, "Although you took it in quickly, my eyes are very good."
Luan Ye didn't say anything, so the other roommates shifted their attention from him to the other person, silently asking how they saw it.
"Isn't that girl I've been dating lately from the Sports Institute?" Xu Zhixin suddenly coughed twice. "The training there is always very strenuous, so sometimes she comes to me directly with medicine and asks me to apply it. I know all those medicines by now."
Several roommates turned to look at Luan Ye worriedly, their movements in unison.
"It's just a minor injury," Luan Ye felt a little embarrassed by their stares and waved his hand, "It's really nothing."
"Everyone knows that ears are very important to us." Liu Ting was obviously unconvinced. "How could you accidentally hurt your ears?"
Luan Ye didn't know how to answer this question.
"It was Yu Xiaoduo who did it, accidentally." He didn't want to say more, "It's just a little bleeding, it will be fine after a while."
Luan Ye didn't plan to explain further after he said this, but the roommates below looked at each other, and none of them believed what he said about "accidentally".
It’s not that I don’t believe what Luan Ye said, the key point is... if it was just a joke, why would he draw blood?
How much effort did it take?
"A little girl shouldn't throw a tantrum like this, right?" Xu Zhixin asked tentatively, "Did you offend her at some point?"
"I..." Luan Ye wanted to say of course not, but he suddenly stopped.
Really? Even though Yu Xiaoduo clearly stated that she didn't mind being a "wingman" or acting with him, she still liked him and even confessed her feelings to him.
Luan Ye opened his hands and looked down at his hands.
What did he do?
What did he do?
He knew that Yu Xiaoduo liked him, but he used this to ask her if she could help him make his partner "open up". Then when she was angry, he thought she was being unreasonable. What on earth was he doing?
"——Fuck." Luan Ye smiled and whispered, "I'm such a complete idiot."
He called Yu Xiaoduo. Although he had deleted most of her contact information on social media, he still kept Yu Xiaoduo's number.
Not long after, the call was connected.
Luan Ye got out of bed with his phone, thanked his roommates, and then said to his phone, "Let's talk."
"Let's talk?" Yu Xiaoduo's voice came from the other side, sounding a little unreal. "You say you want to talk to me now?"
"Yes," Luan Ye pushed open the dormitory door and then closed it from the outside, "Let's talk."
The roommates who were left behind looked at each other, with the same confusion on their faces.
Xu Zhixin finally said, "Forget it. Let's just wait for the young couple to sort it out on their own."
"But he's so proactive, isn't he?" someone complained. "Before I could even react, he called me straight away."
"That's why you still don't have a partner!"
"Get lost! Go line up in the cafeteria by yourself tomorrow!"
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Yu Xiaoduo asked in an unhappy tone, "Aren't you afraid that I will expose that matter directly? Aren't you afraid that people will call you a homosexual?"
"I'm afraid. Who doesn't fear being scolded?" Luan Ye didn't deny it. "But I don't care anymore now."
After this sentence was spoken, there was no sound for a long time.
Luan Ye was flicking the ball of fur in front of him from time to time. Their dormitory was on the first floor, near the back, and no one would come over at this moment.
"We had a normal chat at that time. I told you the details and you agreed." Luan Ye said.
"What? Are you trying to say I deserve it?!" Yu Xiaoduo's tone suddenly became a little aggressive. "Are you trying to say that I agreed, so I deserve this? Don't you know I like you?!"
"I didn't mean to say you deserved it. It was my fault for not considering your emotions. I was too selfish." Perhaps because he had figured it out now, Luan Ye said this with surprisingly little anger. "So we don't have to act anymore. Aren't you going to tell everyone I'm gay? Go ahead. I won't clarify anything you say."
"You can also say that you don't know my true face and that I just deceived you."
"What do you mean?! Do you think I don't dare?" Yu Xiaoduo's voice sounded angry. "I'm going to make it clear on the school forum tomorrow. I'm going to expose everything you've done! I'll let my classmates judge whether you're trash or not, you coward!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Luan Ye said and hung up the phone.
——Very cool.
——Very easy.
He hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time, as if a heavy burden had finally been lifted from his shoulders.
[Host,] Maoqiu circled around him, a little anxious, [Why are you talking like that? Isn't she angry at you?]
Luan Ye walked towards the dormitory and opened the door again: [There is no better solution to this problem. Might as well let her scold me.]
Besides, Yu Xiaoduo was right in scolding him, he was indeed a coward.
A coward who doesn't dare to take the initiative to ask his partner whether he plans to break up or come out with him, and only dares to let others help him test it out.
[But!] Maoqiu thought about it and couldn't help but say, [But this doesn't mean it's all the host's fault!]
[Of course this isn't entirely my fault.] Luan Ye closed the door.
The guy who was supposed to sweep the floor at night was already shouting that he would sweep the floor himself and asked everyone to go to bed. He immediately took off his shoes and went to bed.
If you think from his perspective, then he is not wrong.
But the funny thing about this matter is that if you think from other people's perspective, you will find that no one is wrong.
There is nothing wrong with Gao Yuan not wanting to come out in the short term.
It's not wrong for him to hope that his boyfriend can give him a clear answer.
It’s not wrong for Yu Xiaoduo to feel angry about this.
Gao Yuan was afraid of everything he would have to face if he came out, which could be bad voices or unfriendly looks.
And he hopes that his boyfriend can at least give him an answer, which is a normal thought after all.
As for Yu Xiaoduo, who confessed her feelings to him, even though he did reject her at first, he also made it clear that he was gay, and he made it very clear when he asked Yu Xiaoduo for help. But for Yu Xiaoduo, who once liked him, it is normal to hope that he can like her during their time together.
No one can easily control his heart.
So no one is at fault in the whole thing.
[Then why did the host do this?] Maoqiu looked at Luan Ye, still a little puzzled.
[The system knows that in today's society, where heterosexuality is the mainstream, admitting to being gay is tantamount to seeking death. So, host, have you really thought it through?]
"You said before that you wanted to correct my wrong view of love, right?" Luan Ye took out his notebook.
Maoqiu nodded.
"What would you do if you found out I was hopeless? Would you freeze me to death?" Luan Ye continued to ask.
[Why freeze the host to death?] The fur ball fell on the table. [I know humans have similar novels, but I'm not that low-level system that needs to kill the host to gain energy.]
"Because I didn't do what you wanted?" Luan Ye continued to write the song while chatting with Maoqiu in his mind. He didn't know if it was because he had talked things out, but he just felt relieved at the moment. "Aren't you a normal love psychology system?"
"Although I'm a psychological modification system, my creation was essentially because my creator was confused by the distorted view of love on their planet, and he wanted to understand how humans, who created the concept of 'love,' understand emotions." Maoqiu said, "So, like you, the host, I'm still in the learning stage."
"Of course I hope the host can help change my partner's erroneous views on love," Maoqiu continued. "But my creator said when he created me: Change shouldn't be forced upon the other person in a short period of time; it's a gradual process."
Luan Ye looked at the filled sheet of music, took a photo, and continued writing another one: [Then why did you control my hand in the first place?]
"Because my creator also said that any human with a bit of sense wouldn't trust a system that makes no sense. I need to prove to them that I'm real." Maoqiu looked at him and continued, "As for that threat that makes the host feel cold, that's what my creator told me."
Luan Ye was speechless: [Your host understands the bad nature of humans too well, doesn't he?]
"I wouldn't say I understand. Before me, other systems were deployed to Earth, including, but not limited to, why some regions prefer sweet foods and others spicy ones. This is the conclusion my Creator reached based on the data they provided." Maoqiu said, "What's strange is that humans can summarize and generalize a lot of knowledge, and we all have our own systems and principles..."
【But love, a concept created by you, is the most elusive to you.】
[--Got it.] Luan Ye continued writing another one, [By the way, since you're an advanced civilization, you should be able to help fool our Earth civilization, right?]
"I won't do anything bad!" Maoqiu was very alert and immediately said to him, "I know humans have laws!"
"No, I want you to trick our school's access system. I'm planning to go out for a bit tomorrow." Luan Ye thought to himself, "We have classes tomorrow, but I need to go out before morning self-study."
If you haven't taken any classes, no one will care what reason you give for your application. However, if you have taken classes, you will need a certificate from your teacher and a personal check.
I happen to have classes tomorrow.
[The host has classes tomorrow, so why is he going out?] Maoqiu looked at Luan Ye, [So the host wants to...]
[That’s right!] Luan Ye hummed a song in his heart, [That’s it!]
"Skipping class?!" Maoqiu said loudly, "Skipping class is not an option! Knowledge is very important."
"Of course not!" Luan Ye explained to it, "I don't want to see those people scolding me. I plan to come back when things aren't that serious."
[Okay,] Maoqiu thought for a while, [I can help the host fool your school's access system.]
[There are also surveillance cameras.] Luan Ye thought for a moment and added, [By the way, you also have to help me post something under Yu Xiaoduo's post using my account.]
[What exactly does this mean...?] Maoqiu looked at the line of words that Luan Ye typed on the phone screen and then deleted, a little confused, [No, host, you...] What exactly do you want to do?
"You don't need to worry about what it means," Luan Ye replied, "You just need to know that I won't do anything extreme."
Maoqiu stared at the host, and the meaning conveyed was very clear: Haven't you done anything extreme yet?
While it was asking the host to calm down and think of a solution with Gao Yuan, the host chose to directly say "break up" to the other party.
When it thought the host was going to have a calm conversation with Yu Xiaoduo, the host said, "You can also say that you don't know my true face and that I just deceived you."
It really couldn't believe the host now, but it had to believe it.
[I am the host.] Luan Ye knew what the fur ball was thinking after just one look, and couldn't help but emphasize, [Mind your own business.]
