World One
Although the school is a music college, it has all the necessary sports facilities.
What Gao Yuan meant by 'stay a little longer' was dragging Luan Ye to the other school's playground for a walk, and in the meantime he commented on Luan Ye's school's sports facilities: the height of this facility is not very suitable for exercise, and that one doesn't look very good.
At this moment, there was only a girl reading a book on the playground, and the two of them slowly walked along the outermost circle of the playground.
They were walking around and chatting, and it really looked like a young couple walking on the street.
——The only difference is that they are now pressing on the playground.
"I'm thinking about becoming a physical education teacher in the future. But I always feel... my personality isn't suitable for teaching children." Gao Yuan said to Luan Ye in a joking tone, "What do you think of security work? It's an alternative iron rice bowl, and you can work there until you die."
"Physical education teachers don't necessarily teach children." Luan Ye was a little annoyed by Gao Yuan's joking reference to the future, but he calmed down and thought about it before offering his own opinion. "As for security, do you really plan to still be a security guard when you're seventy? If someone comes looking for trouble, what are you going to do? Chase them with your cane and a thermos of goji berries?"
Gao Yuan imagined the scene: an old man with missing teeth showing when he smiled, holding a thermos cup of soaked wolfberries in both hands, trying hard to chase the thief.
...feels quite 'inspirational'?
He couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Sounds like you're quite strong-willed despite your disability, huh?"
Luan Ye glanced at him, his tone already hinting at a hint of displeasure: "Really?"
Even with the "ha" in his tone, Gao Yuan couldn't pretend not to hear it. He quickly cleared his throat and explained to Luan Ye, "I know what you mean. I'm just... a little hesitant. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do in the future."
"Why hesitate?" Luan Ye asked.
Gao Yuan opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer this question.
The hesitation was of course because he was practicing long-distance running. Others who played badminton or basketball could at least become coaches in the future and teach others how to hold and swing the racket. If they were lucky, earning a few thousand dollars would not be a problem.
As a long-distance runner, what kind of coach can he be in the future? Is he going to teach others how to exert force... Gao Yuan stopped suddenly, then turned to look at Luan Ye beside him.
--yes? !
Gao Yuan opened his eyes wide.
It seems he could also be a coach.
Why hadn't he thought of this before?!
Luan Ye also stopped and turned to look at Gao Yuan: "What's wrong?"
"I was thinking... what do you think of me becoming a coach?" Gao Yuan thought about it and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. "Don't gyms have treadmills? I could teach people how to generate power when running, and I could also teach them how to run to minimize ankle damage."
In a sense, physical education students are essentially living off their youth, their health declining with age. Therefore, their teachers often teach them how to exert force and how to minimize damage. However, much more often, they rely on their own understanding, as everyone's physical fitness is different and their preferred force application points vary. Therefore, they must base their training on their teachers' advice and then develop a method that works best for them.
Gao Yuan is different from others. He can not only summarize the method that suits him, but also help others summarize the method that suits them best.
As a physical education teacher, Gao Yuan felt that his personality was not enough to handle the students. Having been a student himself, he knew how difficult students could be to manage, especially since they often had parents standing behind them.
As a physical education teacher, you're supposed to go to the playground, right? You should dismiss everyone after the required lessons, right? You certainly don't have 20 or 30 eyes on your face, do you? If a student gets hurt while you're not watching, you're responsible, right?
What? You said you reminded me?
What does it have to do with the parents if I've already reminded them? The student was injured at school, right? Wasn't he injured in your physical education class? So what are you still trying to explain?
As for being a security guard, Gao Yuan was just kidding. If he had to maintain the same posture all the time, whether sitting or standing, he felt he couldn't calm down.
So... the coaching path seems to be quite suitable for him?
"I also think being a coach is a good idea," Luan Ye looked at Gao Yuan, "Then make this your goal."
"Okay!" Gao Yuan nodded, but then felt that this wasn't impressive enough, so he clenched his fist and said, "I'll do my best!"
Luan Ye patted his shoulder and nodded with a smile.
Gao Yuan couldn't see his own eyes, but he could see. So he could see the light that suddenly appeared in Gao Yuan's eyes when he said the word "coach".
It’s like a person walking in the desert who suddenly sees water and walks over to make sure it’s not just his imagination.
The goal is really a magical thing. It can make people look for it for a long time but still not be found, or it can suddenly appear in a conversation.
Gao Yuan suddenly found his future goal. His spirit was different from before and he wanted to drag Luan Ye to run a few laps.
At first, Luan Ye wanted to give his boyfriend some face, but after running four laps with Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan wanted to drag him to run the fifth lap. He finally couldn't help it and kicked Gao Yuan, then went to sit in the middle of the playground - you are still asking for more!
Gao Yuan didn't force it and went to run another lap.
[He's got some serious stamina!] Finally finding an opportunity to talk to his host, the fur ball leaped into Luan Ye's hands. [As expected of an athlete!]
Luan Ye gently pinched the fur ball: "Indeed."
"Look at you, host, you're not good enough," he said as he squeezed his hand. The fur ball immediately looked up at him, as if it had been waiting here specially. "You only ran four laps and you don't want to run anymore? You clearly still have a lot of energy left!"
This is clearly a good opportunity to get closer!
"Even if I have enough energy left, I don't want to keep running with him." Luan Ye sneered, "Besides, I'm a college student now. It's already great that I'm willing to run four laps with him."
He had run the first few laps with Gao Yuan because they were a couple, but why would he run four more laps with him? Believe it or not, he would collapse by the third lap, and Gao Yuan would pinch his nose and kneel down to beg him not to die.
Maoqiu didn't quite understand the necessary connection between "college students" and "running", so he hummed in confusion.
Luan Ye continued to watch Gao Yuan who was running to the starting point and took out his cell phone.
There's a difference between professionals and amateurs. Even if there's no one else's running form to compare it to, just watching Gao Yuan's running form is enough to make people feel happy.
That kind of smoothness can only be achieved by people who have been trained.
Luan Ye took out his cell phone and was about to take a picture of Gao Yuan, when he saw Gao Yuan turn right the next second, turn into the plastic track, and then run towards him.
She took big steps and soon she was only a few steps away from him.
But Gao Yuan is still running forward.
Luan Ye:?
Luan Ye:!
Luan Ye's finger was forced to release as soon as it pressed the phone to take pictures. Now, while listening to the endless clicking of the phone, he watched Gao Yuan pounce towards him like a Border Collie that had spotted its owner.
When he caught Gao Yuan, he felt like half of his life was gone and he saw stars.
"Were you filming me just now, huh? Let me see!" Gao Yuan asked as he moved to the side and picked up Luan Ye's phone that he had dropped beside him. "Unlock it quickly and let me see what you filmed of me!"
"—Get lost." Luan Ye rubbed his temples and took the phone. He thought for a moment before unlocking it, choosing the pattern instead of the fingerprint. He then shoved the phone back into Gao Yuan's hands, "…I almost got a concussion from you."
"Huh?" Gao Yuan was stunned and put down his phone. "Is it that serious? Come, let me take a look first."
"It's not like I really got a concussion..." Luan Ye was about to explain that it was just an exaggeration, but Gao Yuan held his head and stared at his forehead endlessly. He suddenly felt unwell. "No, what are you doing?"
"I want to see if I've given you a concussion." Gao Yuan replied, staring at Luan Ye's forehead with a serious expression. However, the seriousness didn't last long before a smile replaced the expression on his face. "Why are you so fragile?"
"Your eyes can go straight through my head, right?" Luan Ye laughed along with him for a while before slapping away Gao Yuan's hand that was holding his head. "I'm not an athlete, so what if I'm a little fragile?"
“——Okay.” Gao Yuan turned over and picked up Luan Ye’s phone. Just as he was about to look at it, he found that the screen was black again.
He subconsciously glanced at Luan Ye.
"Don't make me mark it for you," Luan Ye immediately pointed at Gao Yuan, "I was marking it so slowly just now, is your memory that bad?"
"Remember, it's a cross." Gao Yuan then swiped and the screen unlocked.
Of course he remembered it, he just suddenly wanted to know if Luan Ye really wanted him to remember it and that was why he marked it so slowly.
Gao Yuan clicked on the photo album.
The final product shot by Luan Ye was different from what he had imagined, because what appeared on the screen was a figure so blurry that it was almost impossible to tell that it was a human figure.
Gao Yuan was a little skeptical, so he flipped through the book and saw the whole process of himself coming here and going back.
——Looks even less like a human being.
"How come you made me look like a ghost in your photos?" Gao Yuan complained, showing his phone to Luan Ye, "I strongly condemn you."
"I haven't even condemned you for nearly giving me a concussion yet," Luan Ye opened WeChat and sent the photos directly to Gao Yuan. "You're still condemning me. How shameless!"
Gao Yuan had gone to Luan Ye School to look for someone before, but it was always at night, and he had to leave after just a few words.
It’s different now!
They started talking! This time they really started talking!
Not to mention that the fog that had been blocking his future had now been cleared, and he was extremely excited at the moment.
"Don't wait for the bus after you get out. Take a taxi directly back to save time." Luan Ye was still talking in front of Gao Yuan. "If you have anything in the future, just call or text me. Don't skip class all the time. Pay attention in class. Got it?"
"Yeah!" Gao Yuan nodded, but still looked at Luan Ye, standing there without moving.
Luan Ye wanted to say, "There aren't many people here right now, but there are people too. Could you please stop staring at me like that?" But after thinking it over, he didn't say it out loud.
These words seemed like something that the Gao Yuan who didn't want their relationship to be discovered would say. It always felt weird to hear me say them.
"Remember to call me if you have anything." Luan Ye could only repeat what he had said to Gao Yuan, "Now that you have a goal, don't skip classes so often, okay?"
"Got it," Gao Yuan had already turned around and was about to climb over the wall. After hearing this, he turned back and looked at him, "Luan Ye, you should run a few more laps every night from now on."
The words the system had said before overlapped with Gao Yuan's at this moment.
Luan Ye silently swallowed the words "You can call me even if you have nothing to do". He was speechless, speechless and angry: "No, what do you mean by that?"
The atmosphere seems pretty good, so you want to find fault, right?
The system flew to the side: The host's face suddenly became very ugly!
"We're all sophomores now," Gao Yuan coughed, looking up at everything except Luan Ye, "We're already adults."
"So what if I'm an adult? I'm a college student now, not a high school student with plenty of energy! It's already pretty good that I can run four laps with you!" Luan Ye said, "What on earth did you mean by that—"
When he said this, he suddenly thought of something and paused, subconsciously looking in the direction of the system: "What do you mean?"
Is this what he meant?
--ah? ? ?
Maoqiu shook his head: [I don’t know either!]
Luan Ye then realized that Gao Yuan couldn't see the fur ball, so he turned his head again and looked at Gao Yuan: "What did you mean by that just now?"
I felt like I almost broke my neck.
Just as Gao Yuan was about to ask Luan Ye what he was looking at, he subconsciously straightened up and cleared his throat: "Actually, it doesn't mean anything. That's what I meant."
Luan Ye would go out to participate in competitions for the school, and he was similar, going out to participate in various competitions for the school.
It is common for athletes to abstain from sex for a week before a competition in order to ensure that they do not fail during the competition, and coaches will also emphasize this matter.
When he had just been with Luan Ye, he hadn't thought about this. He was only thinking about how to prevent their relationship from being discovered by their friends and family. He felt speechless when he heard such words.
Now that the two of them had spoken frankly, their relationship had taken a qualitative leap. He had inadvertently cleared away the fog that had been blocking his way, and those inexplicable thoughts immediately emerged like mushrooms after rain.
"I..." Luan Ye opened his mouth, "You..."
No...that's it...
"I thought about it. I'm tough and strong, so I can handle anything." It wasn't Gao Yuan's style to say anything more than a token of his appreciation. He simply said, "If you don't mind, then I don't mind."
"I don't mind." Luan Ye felt his ears turn red after saying this, and quickly pushed Gao Yuan away, "No, go away!"
Gao Yuan climbed over the wall as usual this time, but was pushed out by Luan Ye.
He turned his head and looked at the wall behind him for a while before realizing what he had just said.
He turned around and was about to move forward, but after taking just one step, he successfully replicated the same hand and foot movements that he had made when he first started military training in junior high school.
On the other side, Luan Ye squeezed the ball of fur in his hand tightly, and his ears were a little red.
[Host, aren't you an adult now?] The system, having already figured out the meaning of the two people's tongue twisters, was now baffled, but wisely remained in its host's grasp. [What's there to be ashamed of? Don't animals do the same?]
Isn't this normal sexual behavior?
Animals are not shy about this!
"You don't understand," Luan Ye's heart was pounding, but he still tried to keep his tone calm, "We humans are different from other animals."
What's the difference? I feel I need to better understand how humans think, so I'm open to learning from the system.
"Most of us humans are shy about talking about sex." Luan Ye answered seriously.
"Oh—I get it!" The system couldn't wait for Luan Ye to finish the second half of his sentence before it eagerly stated its own conclusion. "So Gao Yuan's courage to speak out directly is actually very brave! And he deserves praise!"
So the reason he suddenly felt shy wasn't because he had never fantasized about these things before, nor because he hadn't accepted the fact that he was about to reach this stage, but because he was simply... shy.
Luan Ye, who wanted to correct the system but didn't know where to start, said: Okay, that seems to be correct.
