World One
Because Luan Ye whispered the word "boyfriend" right next to his ear, Gao Yuan kept covering his ear when he went to the snack street.
However, even though he covered his ears, he was still rushing to pay and his hands never stopped moving.
Luan Ye listened as the system overhead went from excitedly annoyed at first with [Transformation Progress +1], [Transformation Progress +1], [Transformation Degree +1], to [Oh, so annoying! If you want to upgrade, just upgrade it to a big one! Why is it always +1?] He turned around and looked at Gao Yuan, who was asking him if he wanted octopus balls, and for some reason he felt like laughing.
He had never quite understood how the degree of transformation was calculated, even though Maoqiu had explained it to him. But now he felt like he was finally getting the hang of it...even if it was just a feeling.
"No need to buy more. I haven't even finished what I have." Luan Ye pointed to the skewers of pork tenderloin in his hand, and then to the plastic bags of snacks on Gao Yuan's wrists. "Let's eat together next time."
"Oh..." Gao Yuan felt a little disappointed for a moment, but it took him a while to come to his senses - didn't this mean that they could come together again next time?!
"Okay!" He nodded immediately.
[Renovation Progress: 70%!] He didn't know if it was Luan Ye's imagination, but the system that had been reporting "+1" before now sounded hollow.
When leaving, Gao Yuan took a taxi and said he wanted to take Luan Ye back to school first.
After getting in the car, he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes and kept staring at Luan Ye. Luan Ye now had the window halfway down and was enjoying the wind outside.
Gao Yuan had always thought that Luan Ye had a dull personality, but just by looking at Luan Ye now, he could feel that Luan Ye was relaxed, which was another side of Luan Ye that he had never shown him before.
Moreover, when he and Luan Ye went to the snack street today, no one said anything like "homosexuality is bad." Even if someone looked over, they quickly looked away. It was completely different from what he had imagined.
It's a bit funny to say this. He is a man of 1.8 meters tall, but when he goes out with his friends, passers-by will regard him as a "bad boy on patrol", but he is always afraid in his heart.
Gao Yuan was not only afraid that Luan Ye would break up with him one day, but he was also afraid of what they might experience if he and Luan Ye really brought the matter to light one day.
Even though they haven't reached that point yet, he still feels scared just by imagining it.
Will passersby point fingers at them?
Will his family disown him?
Those so-called "support" and "homosexuals can stand up openly!" on the Internet are essentially just bystanders encouraging them from a bystander's perspective, and are of no use in changing their current situation.
In the end, they have to carry it through on their own.
But now it seems... The taxi stopped at the door. Gao Yuan paid with his phone and got out. He looked at Luan Ye who got out from the other side. These things didn't seem to be anything to be afraid of.
"Why did you get off too?" Luan Ye stared at Gao Yuan who had also gotten off and pointed at the taxi. "Why didn't you just take a taxi back to school?"
"I... forgot." Gao Yuan handed the plastic bags to Luan Ye and said to him, "Take these in and eat them... Oh, you can bring food into your school, right?"
"We're already in college, so of course you can bring some." The taxi had already turned around and left, and Luan Ye had given up on letting Gao Yuan get in. He took the plastic bags handed to him and left a few for Gao Yuan. "You can take some home to eat, too. Remember to share some with your roommates, so you don't eat it all by yourself."
"Okay, I remember it." Gao Yuan nodded, but still stood there without moving.
"What's wrong?" Luan Ye hesitated a little, "Are you... reluctant to leave me?"
"Yeah." Gao Yuan nodded and took a step forward, "Luan Ye."
"What's wrong?" Luan Ye responded with a smile.
Gao Yuan pursed his lips, feeling a little nervous and inexplicably embarrassed.
I've actually always been afraid of those voices.
But it wasn't until today that I suddenly realized that few people actually care about other people's lives, because everyone has their own life to live.
It seems like I have been hurting you because of my cowardice.
If it weren't for what you did, I might have stayed like a coward until you broke up with me.
You laughed a lot today.
You look really good when you smile, so I am very happy now too.
"Video call me tonight." Gao Yuan wanted to put his hands in his trouser pockets and pretend he didn't care. But after putting a few fingers in, he was forced to give up the idea because of the bags of snacks he was carrying. "...Is that okay?"
"Okay." Luan Ye didn't refuse, "Still in the playground?"
"In the dormitory," Gao Yuan blurted out, "I also want to see what kind of person your roommate is."
Luan Ye entered the school. Because the system had set up the program for him in advance, there was no problem when he scanned his face.
He looked back and saw Gao Yuan waiting for the bus at the bus stop opposite the school gate.
As if noticing his gaze, Gao Yuan raised his hand and waved at him.
Luan Ye also waved in response, then he turned and walked into the school.
[——System.] He shouted in his mind, [So, did Gao Yuan see the post I posted?]
If Gao Yuan really saw his post, given Gao Yuan's personality, the first sentence he would say after the call was connected should be "When did we break up?"
But Gao Yuan did not say that.
But then again, if Gao Yuan hadn't seen his post, why did Gao Yuan look so anxious when he came over, as if he was afraid that he would do something bad?
Or was he really wrong, and Gao Yuan just simply wanted to see him?
"What's so important about these things?" Maoqiu said as he rolled his hair around Luan Ye's head. "Things are moving in a good direction, that's enough."
[Thinking too much will make you bald, host.]
Luan Ye touched his hair.
Very good, not bald and no signs of going bald.
——The system just envies him because it has no hair!
The system was too lazy to speak: What a joke, the hair on its body is much more than the host's hair, what is there to envy about such a thing!
As he walked towards the dormitory, Luan Ye unconsciously took out his cell phone from his pocket and glanced down at it.
People in the dormitory group were calling him repeatedly, asking why he hadn't arrived at school yet. They were already planning to go to the cafeteria.
Luan Ye glanced at the plastic bag in his hand and replied, "Don't go, I brought some food," then continued walking towards the dormitory.
I don’t know what’s wrong with Gao Yuan today. Whenever I look at a snack for more than three seconds, Gao Yuan immediately takes out his mobile phone to pay for it.
He was in a very happy mood, but one person really couldn't finish all these things.
Luan Ye carried his things into the dormitory building.
From the school gate all the way to the dormitory door, he was constantly being looked at, some with curiosity, some with malice.
Being honest about what you have done requires facing these things.
However, Luan Ye was in a good mood and didn't pay much attention to the gazes around him.
He is actually a very strange person. Sometimes he is extremely fragile, and sometimes he seems extremely strong.
So, she could come up with this ridiculous method of 'saying that the two of them have broken up' because her boyfriend was unwilling to come out to her, and she could also turn a blind eye to those malicious gazes because she had the support of her boyfriend and relatives and friends.
But even with a good attitude, even though his roommates had clearly stated that they wouldn't have a negative opinion of him because of this kind of thing, Luan Ye still hesitated for a long time when he stood at the dormitory door.
Finally, he took a deep breath, made sure he was mentally prepared, and then pushed open the half-open dormitory door.
What greeted me was not boos.
Several roommates rushed over, some put their hands on Luan Ye's shoulders, some patted Luan Ye's back, some snatched the plastic bag from Luan Ye's hand, and some went to close the door.
Everyone's division of labor was very clear, which surprised Luan Ye, who had already prepared himself mentally. "No, what are you doing? Haven't you eaten in hundreds of years?"
"Oh my god!" Xu Zhixin exclaimed exaggeratedly as he opened the plastic bag beside the table. "Why are there so many delicious foods? Did you buy up the entire snack street?!"
Liu Ting, who had gone to close the door, had already walked to Luan Ye's side. He cleared his throat and said, "It's good that you're back. Don't do this again in the future! We were all worried sick."
His original intention was to persuade Luan Ye not to run away without saying goodbye like this, so as to avoid making a lot of people worry. If there was any problem, he should go to them first to solve it.
Xu Zhixin, dazzled by the delicious food, thought the words meant something else. He immediately diverted Liu Ting's message, "That's right! But godfather, although Yu Xiaoduo's actions were dishonest, you were also dishonest."
The other roommates who were still thinking about how to comfort Luan Ye were suddenly speechless: Luan Ye and Yu Xiaoduo were both wrong in this matter, but Luan Ye had just returned. If there was anything, couldn't they wait for a while or say it more tactfully?
I don’t know whether Xu Zhixin has high or low emotional intelligence. What if Luan Ye feels that way again?
But to their surprise, Luan Ye nodded in agreement with Xu Zhixin without much thought: "Indeed, I also plan to take some time to have a good chat with her."
It is undeniable that his behavior did cause harm to Xiaoduo.
After Yu Xiaoduo confessed her love, he made such a suggestion to her. Wasn't he just putting her sincerity on the fire?
Then in the later conversation with Yu Xiaoduo, although he said he was apologizing, his emotions were actually not very stable at the time, and it seemed more like he was provoking Yu Xiaoduo.
As for leaving school, aside from those excuses, he was just running away. He had always thought Gao Yuan was running away, but hadn't he been running away too?
Xu Zhixin mentioned it half-jokingly so that Luan Ye could have a general idea.
When Luan Ye left, he was indeed anxious for him, afraid that something might happen to him. But after he returned, he did want to have a good talk with him about this matter. Yu Xiaoduo's threats were annoying, but Luan Ye wasn't being very honest in asking him to do him a favor even though he knew he liked her.
He had already prepared himself for Luan Ye to frown and say "Why do you say that to me?", but he didn't expect Luan Ye to say so straightforwardly that he would talk to Yu Xiaoduo.
I was completely stunned and didn't even have the chance to say the words of persuasion I had prepared in advance.
"What's wrong?" Luan Ye could tell what Xu Zhixin was thinking. He stood beside him, took out the snacks from the plastic bag and handed them to Xu Zhixin, teasing, "Is your adopted son stupid?"
"No...no." Xu Zhixin shook his head and subconsciously asked, "How long do you plan to go talk to her?"
Now the roommates are all certain: this guy either has low emotional intelligence or is simply stupid!
But they are pretty cool! Because they also want to know the answer to this question!
"I'll go after evening self-study tonight." Luan Ye thought for a moment, "I plan to talk to her alone then."
Xu Zhixin opened his mouth, but unlike before, he now wanted to ask Luan Ye why he was so proactive.
Liu Ting, who was standing by, thought that Luan Ye was going to continue asking what he was going to say, so he took out a bag of marshmallows from the plastic bag, tore it open, and then took out one and rudely stuffed it into Xu Zhixin's mouth: "Brother, have some candy!"
- That's almost it, you're not done yet, are you?
Luan Ye really intended to have a good talk with Yu Xiaoduo.
When he wants to escape, he'll run away fast, even putting himself on the moral high ground. But when he's determined to face something, he'll rush forward without thinking.
So during the evening self-study session, Luan Ye took out his cell phone and sent a text message to the other party.
Yu Xiaoduo quickly replied: Okay, where shall we meet then?
: Just on the playground.
Luan Ye thought about it and added another sentence.
: Near the entrance.
This time, Yu Xiaoduo replied with just one word: OK.
Luan Ye took a deep breath and took out the songs he had written outside today to see if there was anything that needed to be modified.
He was still a little nervous about meeting Yu Xiaoduo, and he urgently needed to do something to distract himself.
The ball of hair stayed obediently on his hair the whole time, watching the host lower his head to change the song, sometimes crossing out a note and sometimes adding a new one.
The system has now fallen in love with the feeling of nestling in its host's hair and is reluctant to get off.
Luan Ye only asked one question about this: "So how does my hairstyle appear to others?" Doesn't it look like something's squashed down?
Maoqiu replied: "Still as handsome as ever! Not messy at all! Host, don't worry. They can't see me, so they naturally can't see the effects I've had on your hair, so your hair will still look its original look to them."
Luan Ye nodded, finally feeling relieved.
