World One
"Stop spinning," Luan Ye grabbed the system that had been spinning endlessly beside him. "You're making me dizzy."
He now has to figure out how to write the score.
"That's too risky! What the host said before was truly too risky!" The system struggled desperately in Luan Ye's grasp, its fur rubbing against his hand. Luan Ye couldn't help but give it a squeeze... Not bad, the touch was surprisingly pleasant, very relaxing. "Host, aren't you afraid he'll retreat into his shell again?!"
The system flew straight out of his hand, not allowing Luan Ye to continue pinching it, and looked like it was sulking: [Fortunately, the host still understands his partner's personality and did not force him back into his shell.]
Luan Ye glanced at the system, sneered, and said nothing.
He thought, what else can he do? Just take it slow as the system says? If he could really tolerate taking it slow, he wouldn't have resorted to such a trick of pretending to force his partner to give an answer.
But the system probably doesn't care what he thinks, otherwise it wouldn't suddenly appear and delete the "Let's break up" he finally mustered up the courage to send.
Luan Ye actually didn't know Gao Yuan very well.
The reason why they were interested in Gao Yuan in the beginning was entirely because he came to their school to participate in a friendly match jointly organized by the two schools. Gao Yuan was a long-distance running specialty student in the Sports College, and he left everyone in their school far behind from the beginning.
Perhaps because they believed in Gao Yuan's ability, even students from the same school as Gao Yuan didn't pay much attention to his competition.
At the end, people from Gao Yuan's school even went to help other contestants to rest, leaving Gao Yuan alone standing at the finish line, wiping his sweat with his head down.
He was clearly ranked first, but he did not receive the treatment that a first place winner deserves.
Gao Yuan quite straightforwardly lifted his shirt to wipe the sweat from his face, seemingly unconcerned about his treatment. But as he looked at the contestants being helped around the field, something more flashed in his eyes.
Luan Ye had originally intended to just watch. He had no interest in the matches, and wasn't particularly familiar with the players. He'd simply come because his roommate insisted he join in the fun. Then he caught Gao Yuan's eye—the look a stray dog gets when it sees a domesticated dog being patted on the head by its owner.
There is disdain, but more of it is envy.
Luan Ye's heart suddenly moved.
Although the man's temperament told him that he was most likely a straight man, he still wanted to make a final confirmation.
——After all, not everyone has this distinctive temperament that only large dogs have.
He walked over with a still-steaming sports drink in his hand and called out to Gao Yuan, "Hey! Number One over there!"
Gao Yuan was very familiar with the number on his body, so familiar that he didn't even lower his head to confirm it, but instead looked up at him very quickly.
Homosexuals all have a radar, and with just one glance, Luan Ye successfully determined that the other person was the same kind of person as him.
Gao Yuan's flashing eyes also told him that the other party was aware of this matter.
"You ran well just now, really impressive." Luan Ye handed him the bottle of sports drink, already prepared for his refusal. "Take a break."
Unexpectedly, Gao Yuan just glanced at him twice and took the bottle of water.
I'll omit some of the following content, but in the end they were together. The only thing worth emphasizing is that Gao Yuan didn't make it too difficult for him to pursue her.
Basically, Luan Ye would talk to him, and Gao Yuan would respond. Sometimes, Gao Yuan would even initiate a conversation with him. Over time, the two of them became familiar with each other, and after becoming familiar with each other, it was natural for them to get together.
It seems that they are still following the fast food route.
……wrong.
Luan Ye, who was reminiscing, suddenly frowned.
Since they were just a quickie in the first place, it was normal that the relationship wouldn't last, right? He didn't want to break up with Gao Yuan, but that didn't mean he could tolerate a system that suddenly appeared and forcibly bound him to speak to him in such a tone.
[Host?] At this moment, the system's voice came over, [Aren't you planning to do your homework? What are you thinking about?]
"Can't you read minds?" Luan Ye was thinking about something when he was suddenly interrupted. He immediately became angry. "Why are you still asking me?"
The system didn't say anything else, curled up into a ball and rolled away.
The visual effect is just that it's floating away in the air, but it's still pretty miserable to watch.
Luan Ye ignored the ball that rolled away in the air.
He is in a bad mood now, very bad.
He initially fell in love with Gao Yuan because he had long wanted a large, all-too-good-for-him dog. He chose to act with Yu Xiaoduo because Gao Yuan had been reluctant to come out to him. He wanted a dog that would reach out and wag its tail even in front of strangers, not a timid dog that wouldn't come along no matter how much the leash was pulled.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Luan Ye even threw away the pen in his hand.
But it was useless to be angry now, because he had already promised Gao Yuan to "wait a little longer".
I don't know whether the "wait a little longer" Gao Yuan mentioned this time means a few months, a few weeks, or a few years.
He shouldn't have agreed to "wait a little longer" just because Gao Yuan looked so pitiful! What was he waiting for? The sooner they broke up, the sooner it was over!
Even if you feel pain after breaking up, it will only last for a while.
"System." Luan Ye shouted.
The system that had just floated away floated over carefully, but this time kept a distance from him.
"What if the transformation isn't successful?" Luan Ye reached out and grabbed it, rubbing it vigorously in his hand as if to vent his anger. "What if I succeed, but he doesn't change?"
"Will you send another 'blindly bowing your head will lead to no good end' system to bind to me then?"
[My creator did not create such a system.] Although the system was under his control, its words were still very clear. [Host, don't worry.]
"Oh." Luan Ye responded sullenly.
...But this ball of fur is really relaxing to squeeze, it's really soft.
The system looked at Luan Ye, whose emotions were gradually returning to calm, and suddenly said: [Before the system binds, it not only considers whether the two people's affection levels meet the requirements, but also whether the object being transformed is worthy of transformation and whether it will change after being guided. So the host doesn't need to worry about these things.]
The system doesn't care what the host thinks!
The system still cares about the host!
"I'm not worried." Luan Ye was like a scumbag who didn't recognize people after putting on clothes. When he felt that he didn't have much anger left, he simply threw the system away and picked up a pen.
Even if they really split up, it doesn't matter. There are more than one good large dogs like Gao Yuan.
The system flew over to the table and watched as its bound host began to write the score while thinking to itself.
He doesn't care.
He doesn't care about these things.
Talent is rare, but it is essential in every field.
Gao Yuan has the talent to feel excited when he pushes himself to the extreme.
In the second half of a long run, when most people want to rest and start subconsciously adjusting their pace and breathing, Gao Yuan will only become more excited and want to surpass everyone and run to the front.
So the second half will be his home turf.
This kind of excitement is a talent for students with sports talents.
As a student of the composition department, Luan Ye also has similar talents.
His talent lies in his ability to perceive music: he can associate the sound of a can being opened with a piece of music, and every person who passes by him is a ready-made material library from which he can take something when needed.
But now he just can't think of anything, can't get any inspiration, and is very upset.
Luan Ye didn't move when the phone rang. He took a deep breath and picked up the phone: "Who?"
"It's me, Gao Yuan." Gao Yuan's voice came from the other side, "Luan Ye, can you come out now?"
--come out?
Luan Ye lifted the bed curtain and looked outside. It was already dark.
He was the only one in the dormitory now, because the other people in the dormitory had gone to eat the skewers brought back by the neighboring dormitory. The people in their dormitory were best at covering for each other, so even if he went out now, he would be fine.
But he just didn't want to move now, nor did he want to ask Gao Yuan why he suddenly came to their school and what he wanted to see him about.
"No," Luan Ye replied, "I'm not in the mood right now."
Gao Yuan always puts his own ideas first, so he will definitely agree this time. At most, his tone will sound a little disappointed.
Luan Ye was ready to hang up the phone.
"I'm in your school playground right now. I also... brought you something." But unexpectedly, Gao Yuan didn't say the 'OK' that Luan Ye expected. Instead, he said, "I wanted to give it to you before. You should come out now."
"Doesn't your school check dormitories at night?" Luan Ye couldn't help but ask.
Now, whether he couldn't write the song or Gao Yuan didn't do it according to his ideas, he felt annoyed and frustrated.
"Our school isn't very strict. No one would even bother you if you stayed out all night," Gao Yuan said. "Luan Ye... I want to see you now."
Luan Ye didn't say anything else. He hung up the phone and put it in his pocket.
Then he got down from the upper bunk and put on his sneakers.
The system followed him, but this time it didn't wander around aimlessly. Instead, it floated directly into Luan Ye's hand.
Luan Ye pinched it gently and took a deep breath.
Forget it, I'd better go and take a look and see what Gao Yuan brought him.
There are always a lot of people on the playground.
Some are practicing vocal music, some are just here for a walk, some are sitting in the middle of the playground singing with friends, some are learning the Five Animal Frolics from a video, and some are insisting on standing on the track to kiss their partner.
Gao Yuan never liked meeting him in crowded places, so he would definitely not appear in a particularly conspicuous place.
But the playground is so big, how can he find Gao Yuan who said "I am in the playground now" among this group of people?
Luan Ye wanted to call Gao Yuan to ask where he was, but suddenly he didn't want to call anymore. The irritability came inexplicably, so he sat down at the edge of the podium, but before he had sat there for a while, he heard someone calling him from behind.
"——Luan Ye." And this voice was very familiar. It was the person who had just ended the call with him.
He turned his head and saw the figure standing next to the podium.
It’s Gao Yuan.
Luan Ye was stunned.
The light next to the rostrum was the brightest in the entire playground. He never thought that Gao Yuan would be waiting for him here.
Is it because this is closest to the entrance to the playground?
Or is it because of something else?
"When we were at the bookstore earlier, I noticed that your ear was injured. I wanted to take you to see a doctor..." Gao Yuan handed Luan Ye a plastic bag filled with medicine, "but you seemed very angry at the time, so I didn't dare tell you."
Luan Ye took the plastic bag and took a look inside. It contained medicines he didn't recognize.
"Your ears are probably very important to you, right?" Gao Yuan pointed to a small bottle in a plastic bag. "By the way, this is to be applied to the edge of the wound. Remember to apply it once every day before going to bed."
"Oh," Luan Ye nodded subconsciously, his mind still a little confused, "...Thank you?"
"You're welcome. By the way, these are the medicines we often use when we get injured during exercise..." Gao Yuan looked at him and smiled. "I've used them before, and there are no side effects. Don't worry."
Luan Ye subconsciously touched the wound on his ear. He was a composition student, and his ears were indeed very important to him. But he never thought that it would be Gao Yuan who reminded him of this.
He was not someone from the same department and major as them, but a sports student who was also his boyfriend.
"Don't touch it, it will heal faster." Gao Yuan pulled Luan Ye's hand down, "And... I came here not only to give you medicine, I actually have something to ask you."
"What?" Luan Ye asked.
"That's right, can you..." Gao Yuan suddenly looked to the side when he said this, and then lowered his voice. Just when Luan Ye was thinking that it was like this again, Gao Yuan continued, "...break up with that so-and-so?"
Who is that?
Who are you breaking up with?
——You?
Luan Ye thought about it and decided that Gao Yuan wouldn't be a psychopath, coming all the way here to ask him to break up with him. So the "someone" Gao Yuan was referring to was most likely Yu Xiaoduo.
"Why?" He sounded a little puzzled.
Why did Gao Yuan suddenly want him to 'break up' with Yu Xiaoduo?
Why did Gao Yuan, who had no reaction on his face even when he saw him and Yu Xiaoduo leaving the school together, suddenly hope that he and Yu Xiaoduo broke up?
Is it because he told Gao Yuan the truth about the matter?
Is it that... simple?
"Why..." Gao Yuan was stunned, as if he was stumped by Luan Ye's sudden question, and did not answer for a long time.
Luan Ye sighed inwardly, picked up the plastic bag, and stood up: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to answer. Thank you for the medicine."
He himself didn't know why he suddenly asked such a question, and he always felt that something was strange.
It seems like he cares about this matter very much.
Gao Yuan stretched out his arm, blocking his way: "...Isn't it possible?"
Luan Ye looked at Gao Yuan without saying anything.
The Gao Yuan in front of him who only said three words made him feel strange and familiar. That was the other party's true appearance when he saw Gao Yuan for the first time.
The real Gao Yuan shouldn't be someone who says nothing when she sees her boyfriend with a 'girlfriend'. The real Gao Yuan should be positive, energetic, wild, and have her own ideas.
"I'm your boyfriend, right? Why do you have to publicly have another girlfriend?" Gao Yuan looked at Luan Ye. "So you can't break up with the one you're with publicly? Or are you really in love with her now?"
This time, Gao Yuan's voice was more normal. Fortunately, the lights next to the rostrum were too bright and no one was exercising there, so no one noticed the movement here.
Luan Ye was about to answer Gao Yuan's question, but the system that had been silent suddenly jumped out!
It rushed out so fast that Luan Ye subconsciously tilted his head back.
[Renovation Progress: 30%! ! ! ! ! ! !]
Luan Ye silently looked at the system holding up a wooden sign with a few words and a row of exclamation points. He then glanced behind the system at Gao Yuan, who had no idea why he had just dodged and was now looking lost. He cleared his throat and said, "No, that's what..."
"Actually, there was a bug just now." Luan Ye made up a lie that anyone with a little brain would know was a lie.
The system only then realized that it seemed to have done something wrong. It looked at the host, then slowly and carefully moved the wooden sign that it had obtained from somewhere away.
"Oh." From the tone, Gao Yuan didn't believe this sentence at all, but he still gave Luan Ye face and didn't ask any further.
"There really was a bug just now." Luan Ye put his hand to his mouth and coughed lightly, "And... it's okay."
"...What can you say?" Gao Yuan glanced at him. Perhaps he hadn't recovered from Luan Ye's sudden backward movement just now. These two short words were filled with sadness, as if to say 'I'm really not sad at all'.
"I said yes." Gao Yuan's words made Luan Ye feel relieved, as if a dog that had been trained but never understood its master's instructions suddenly did what its master had said unintentionally. His patience also increased a lot because of this. "Do you understand now?"
"I understand." Gao Yuan finally reacted now, his expression surprised, "So you... promised me?!"
"Yes," Luan Ye nodded, "I promise you."
Isn't it just breaking up with Yu Xiaoduo?
He had wanted to do this for a long time.
