World One
After the system released that bomb, it saw its bound host nearly choking to death on the water, and quickly added: [You can't look at me with human eyes! I'm not a child!]
It doesn't look like it before you say this, but it looks even more like it once you say this.
Luan Ye took the toilet paper handed to him by the department head, wiped his mouth, and apologized embarrassedly to the two people whose conversation he interrupted.
It was the first time he'd choked on water, and he'd been seen by two people... two and a half people. Luan Ye felt so embarrassed he could dig a Barbie castle out of it with his toes.
Fortunately, the two teachers also noticed his embarrassment. The department head said that you just need to sign a guarantee letter that you will not transfer to another department. The old professor said that this is enough, and you are not done yet, are you? Then he pushed Luan Ye out.
Luan Ye was pushed out by the old professor without any hesitation. However, just as he took a few steps towards the stairs and was about to talk to the system, the old professor came out and said, "I'll take you home."
Luan Ye: "Okay, thank you."
He had no choice but to ask the system in his mind: [So you are actually an adult life form, right?]
So the conversations between him and Gao Yuan were not overheard by an underage being, right?
"Why is the host so concerned about this? Humans take biology classes in elementary school." The system was puzzled by his question. "If I were to use my creator's age standards, I'd be seventy, but seventy is barely considered an adult there. But if I were to use human standards, I'd be around twenty, older than you, the host."
[…You’re actually older than me?] Luan Ye’s expression suddenly became a little subtle.
To him, this incident was just like the day when Gao Yuan forced himself to remain expressionless towards him, then looked at him with extremely deep eyes and said, "Actually, this is my true nature."
There's a feeling that if you say it's right, it seems quite right, after all, people's personalities are multifaceted. But if you say it's wrong, it seems really wrong.
"Because, ultimately, I'm not human." The system continued to explain. "I can use my knowledge to answer the host's various questions about the universe and my creator's race. But I don't understand humans."
[And to the host, these bizarre questions I need you to answer are more like questions a human child would ask.] The system said, [Looking at it this way, not only do humans not like to express their thoughts, but their thinking is also very interesting.]
[What's interesting?] Luan Ye said goodbye to the old professor at the classroom door, then walked into the classroom with his notebook.
"I feel like you're a little arrogant," Maoqiu said, realizing it belatedly after a while. "Will the host be angry if I say this?"
[No.] Luan Ye answered it in his mind and sat down on the chair. [You continue.]
"I think you all definitely think that age is the right age for you, and that you need to think clearly about the responsibilities that come with that age." Furball fluffed up his fur on his desk, looking a bit like a hedgehog, a chubby hedgehog. "So humans are really arrogant."
Why did the system think humans were arrogant just because of this? Luan Ye didn't ask. He felt like he understood what the system said, but it seemed he didn't fully understand.
He simply opened the notebook where he wrote the music and glanced at the teacher like a thief.
The class I'm taking now is Sposobin.
I'll just take a break, Luan Ye thought to himself. Then he wrote down the notes that had suddenly popped into his head while he was talking to the system.
He just felt the need to capture these inspirations.
The inspirations generated by communicating with the system may never appear again.
The ball of fur moved towards the host's notebook, wanting to look at the notes, but then turned back to look at the teacher. After thinking for a moment, the system decided to help the host take notes for this class.
Although I'm curious about the host's inspiration for it and what it will sound like when it's played...but isn't that what humans all say? Before the gift is wrapped, I need to wait patiently for a while.
Because he had found a new target, Luan Ye also said that he would give him a gift when he graduated. Gao Yuan seemed very excited this week, a little abnormally excited.
He was so excited that even when he grabbed someone's collar, there was a hint of joy on his face.
The man being grabbed by the collar by Gao Yuan had turned pale as the hospital wall. He was terrified by Gao Yuan in front of him. Who the hell could smile while fighting? He looked like a madman.
"What did you just say I was?" Gao Yuan loosened his grip and flexed his wrist. "You said I was a perverted homosexual, right?"
"No...no." The boy who had been beaten up by him in front of a group of people fell to the ground, subconsciously shrank back, and covered his face with his arms, "...I didn't say that."
"Do you want me to help you recall?" Gao Yuan pointed at the nearby store, then at the group of people nearby who wanted to get closer but didn't dare. "Where were you standing, pointing at me and calling me a pervert?"
He finished his training run today in a good mood. He was also in a good mood when Lao Xiao said he was ten seconds faster than last time. He was also in a good mood when he walked to the store next to his dorm and decided to buy some instant noodles to treat himself and call Luan Ye afterwards. As he was happily paying, he overheard someone talking about a perverted homosexual.
He turned his head.
This person just took advantage of the fact that they were in a group and pointed at himself while talking to his friends.
…
When Luan Ye was about to leave that day, he told Gao Yuan not to skip classes. So Gao Yuan listened to him and never skipped classes again. Even Lao Xiao asked him if he had changed.
Luan Ye said that he would take coaching as a new goal, so Gao Yuan had been searching for whether he needed to take a certification if he wanted to be a coach, and he also asked Lao Xiao specifically about the precautions.
So during this period of time, no matter how much conflict he had with others, he was in a good mood and didn't take it seriously.
Even Yu Mao asked him in a roundabout way if he was in a good mood.
Maybe it was because he seemed really easy to talk to during this period, so some people took advantage of the fact that there were many people around and pointed at him and called him a perverted homosexual from a few people away, shouting so loudly that they were afraid he couldn't hear them.
"I..." After saying that, the man who was caught up by Gao Yuan in two steps and beaten in front of a group of people put down his arms that had been covering his face, looked at Gao Yuan, then looked at the people standing next to him who were watching the show, and simply gave up, "I said you are a pervert, so what?! You are a homosexual, right? Homosexuals are perverts, homosexuals are all fucking perverts--"
He didn't even have time to utter the second 'tai' because Gao Yuan, unable to bear it any longer, punched him again: "Come on, keep talking."
The man covered his mouth and didn't dare to speak anymore. He just stared at Gao Yuan.
"Look me in the eyes if you have the guts." Gao Yuan looked at him with a cold voice, "You have the guts to say this nonsense, why don't you have the guts to look me in the eye?"
It's very strange. Gao Yuan always felt that he was afraid to tell the fact that he was gay in front of so many people, but now he not only doesn't feel afraid, but also feels very confused.
Are these sounds scary?
That seems to be the case.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
He was baffled. What was wrong with having a different sexual orientation than most people? What had he done to offend anyone by being gay?
Why do we call homosexuals perverts just because many people are heterosexual?
During this period, Gao Yuan had actually heard people discussing whether he was a pervert or not. However, those voices were all in private, and no one dared to say such things to him in person.
Even the person who said he was a perverted homosexual didn't dare to look at him when he said this, but instead stiffened his neck and looked in the other direction.
What's that? Gao Yuan followed his gaze and saw only the students gathered there. When their eyes met his, they subconsciously looked away.
Gao Yuan lowered his head and continued to look at the boy whom he had just punched.
If you want to say these things... it would be more powerful if you looked at him, right? Point at his nose and say he's a fucking perverted homosexual.
If you really think he is a pervert and that everyone will follow you in condemning him, then why do you look at other people and say it?
Why didn't I dare get closer to him when I said that before, and why did I turn around and run away after he found out?
Gao Yuan took a deep breath, stood up, walked to the convenience store, and picked out a bucket of instant noodles.
The man who was beaten by him sat on the ground, still covering his face, without saying a word, but shaking constantly.
"How much is the instant noodles?" Gao Yuan asked the shop owner who was a little stunned. He didn't come to the shop very often.
"Four dollars and fifty cents." The boss turned his gaze away from the student sitting on the ground and looked at Gao Yuan, who was scanning the QR code. He added, "Wait a minute, four dollars! Just give me four dollars!"
"Hmm?" Gao Yuan, who had already paid, didn't quite understand why the boss said that. He glanced at him and showed the boss the screen of his phone with the payment prompt popped up. "I've already paid."
Just when Gao Yuan was wondering if the boss was worried that he would punch him, the boss pulled a bag of lollipops from the bottom of the bags hanging nearby and stuffed one into his hand. "Here, this is for you."
Gao Yuan held the lollipop, feeling a bit confused: What does this mean? Seeing him beat someone up and then give him some protection money?
"Stay true to yourself!" the boss told him, then glanced disdainfully at the man still sitting on the floor. He raised his voice a bit as he added the second half of his sentence, "Isn't it just that your sexual orientation is different from most people? What's the big deal? You're much better than those who only dare to gossip about you behind your back!"
The volume is loud and clear.
Although he didn't know why the boss suddenly said that, Gao Yuan still thanked him, then opened the bag of lollipops and put them in his mouth - they were apple flavored and quite sweet.
He took the instant noodles in his hand, put his cell phone in his pocket, and walked up to the person he had beaten.
The other party subconsciously dodged backwards and didn't dare to stare at him this time.
"If you're unhappy, just say it to my face." Gao Yuan bit off the stick of his lollipop. "But if you say that to my face again, I'll hit you. I'll hit you until you dare not say it again."
The boy didn't say anything.
Gao Yuan finished his instant noodles on a chair next to the canteen. Instead of returning to the dormitory, he went directly to the playground wearing his Bluetooth headphones.
He just called Luan Ye on WeChat. Luan Ye didn't ask him why he called suddenly, but just asked what was wrong, with a hint of sleepiness in his voice.
Gao Yuan took back the complaints he was about to pour out, and took back the questions he wanted to ask, "Has your school called you a pervert?" Then he asked Luan Ye in the same tone as usual, "Is he sleeping now? Why didn't he go to class?"
Luan Ye said that there were no classes now and everyone in the dormitory was catching up on sleep.
Gao Yuan said, "Okay, can I keep talking on the phone? It's okay even if I don't talk."
He just suddenly wanted to talk to Luan Ye on the phone, even though he didn't know why he did that.
There was a rustling sound coming from the other side. Luan Ye said that he had already plugged in the charging cable. Did nothing really happen?
Gao Yuan said no, he was just a little tired from training.
He didn't want to bother Luan Ye with this matter, nor did he take it seriously.
When his parents came to pick him up for dinner on the weekend, Gao Yuan wished he had punched that man a few more times.
The boy was still standing a little distance away from him, pointing his finger at him and saying to the people next to him, "Look, that's a homosexual."
--Hold.
My mother subconsciously glanced at Gao Yuan, who was silent, and then looked at the boy. After confirming that the boy was indeed pointing at her son, she became angry.
"How can you talk like that, kid!" She glared at the boy and shouted, "Come here!"
"I'm not coming!" The boy quickly hid behind a classmate next to him. "Ask your son if I'm right! Is he a perverted homosexual?"
The smile on Dad's face was a little stiff now. He lowered his head and asked Gao Yuan, "Is what he said true?"
Gao Yuan looked at his father without saying anything.
At that moment, he suddenly understood the disappointment on Luan Ye's face when he told him about coming out to his parents a long time ago and mentioned his parents as the first thing he said: "Have you been poisoned by the opinions on the Internet? How could you be gay?"
He was worried that his parents would eventually find out he was gay, but underneath that worry lay a deep fear.
He was afraid that his parents, who had always been very kind to him, would disown him as their son just because he was gay.
He has always been afraid that when someone points at him and says he is a perverted homosexual, his parents' first reaction will be to confirm with him first.
He was afraid that his parents' first reaction would not be the "So what? I ate your rice!" he imagined, but would be "Tell me, is this true? Are you really a homosexual?"
Now his fear had come true, but he didn't feel any fear at all.
What is there to be afraid of?
Hasn't Luan Ye already experienced all these things?
"Yes." Gao Yuan mentally apologized to his parents, who were about to take him to hot pot. Instead of using a compromise, as he had imagined, he admitted it bluntly, "He's right. I am gay."
"Not only am I gay," he continued, looking into his parents' eyes, "I even have a boyfriend now."
