World One
Gao Yuan had long ago determined that he was gay.
When he still had only a vague concept of the word sex, a few boys who were good friends with him took out a so-called "educational film" one day and asked him if he wanted to watch it with them.
——He agreed without much thought.
While these people were excitedly discussing what happened to the woman, Gao Yuan was not thinking about the woman or the man in the movie, but a man without a face.
Even though he didn't know much about this kind of thing, he knew that in this society where most couples on the street were men and women, he would probably be criticized if he expressed his thoughts.
So he never dared to say it.
Of course, Gao Yuan also wanted to find similar people.
However, most of the people who downloaded the apps were looking for one-night stands, and the girls who went to the bars started touching him after just a few minutes of chatting.
Gao Yuan scolded the one in front and then beat the one behind.
A 1.8-meter-tall man rushed out as if escaping, quickly uninstalled the software, and made up his mind not to come to these shabby places again.
Gao Yuan never thought about being with a woman, nor did he bother to try. Later, because he didn't like to use his brain, he went straight to sports school. He was busy training every day and had no time to think about these things.
- It wasn't until their college held a friendly match with the Conservatory of Music that he met Luan Ye.
Not only is Luan Ye good-looking, he is also recognized as the one who is chased by God and fed by God in the music conservatory.
It can be said that Gao Yuan only imagined the scene of being with such people in his mind. But he never thought that he would have an intersection with such people one day.
So when Luan Ye asked him, "Have you thought it through? Do you really want to date me?"
Gao Yuan hesitated for only three seconds before blurting out, "Well, I really want to date you."
Boys over 18 are most susceptible to impulse, and therefore are most likely to later realize the folly of their choices and regret their impulsiveness. Gao Yuan has this mindset.
The longer the two of them were together, the more he could feel the difference between himself and Luan Ye.
When he was feeling irritated by the tight training schedule arranged by the teacher, Luan Ye said that today's class was very interesting and he learned a lot of new knowledge.
When he was feeling confused about his future and hadn't figured out what he wanted to do, Luan Ye had already sold the copyright of the songs he wrote, and even asked the old professors in the college to help see if there was anything that needed improvement.
No matter how much he disliked thinking, Gao Yuan could feel that he had been inadvertently left behind by Luan Ye and was almost unable to see the other person's back.
It was also because of these reasons that he repeatedly rejected Luan Ye's request to come out.
The original sincere consolation gradually fermented over time, and finally gradually turned into the idea that "of course you don't have to worry, because your life is smooth, but I have too many things to worry about."
It's not that he didn't notice that Luan Ye was intentionally or unintentionally reducing the frequency of their chats, nor was it that he really didn't feel dissatisfied because Luan Ye sent him photos with girls.
But it was his own idea that he didn't want to come out, so he didn't dare to ask the questions he should have asked.
- If Luan Ye had not confessed to him about his relationship with Yu Xiaoduo in advance.
Gao Yuan pulled the towel off his shoulders and wiped his face vigorously. He then picked up his phone, which he had left on the playground, and the salt water he had prepared in advance, and took a sip.
- If Luan Ye hadn't posted that one-sentence post on the forum.
He screwed the cover back on and unlocked the phone.
Then he opened the software with ease and sent a message to Luan Ye on the other side.
He might keep standing still and even forget that he was originally an athlete and that what he is best at is running forward, not turning around and running away.
Being an athlete can feel like a job that depends on one's youth, as all that matters is hard work and a healthy body. So Gao Yuan always takes a walk after running to relieve the stress on his leg muscles.
He had just opened the chat interface with Luan Ye when someone came over.
Gao Yuan glanced at the other person. This person could barely be considered one of his best friends and also one of his roommates.
Yu, a rather gossipy person. Everyone knows that curiosity kills the cat, and coincidentally, his surname sounds the same as "fish," a favorite food for kittens. Out of a certain teasing, his acquaintances simply call him Yumao.
After calling the other person like this for a long time, Gao Yuan almost forgot the other person's real name.
"Brother Yuan, are you chatting with your date?" Yu Mao smiled, then pretended to be "I'm really not curious at all." He cleared his throat and asked Gao Yuan, "...Brother Yuan, we're good brothers, right?"
Gao Yuan could easily guess that he had something to ask, and he didn't bother to listen to his elaborate explanations. He simply said, "--Let it go."
"Okay, I don't mean anything else. I just wanted to ask!" Yu Mao pounded his chest, "What's your partner's name?"
It’s definitely not because he’s really curious!
It was not because he wanted to know whether the other party was the latest celebrity in the music school!
Gao Yuan sent a message saying, "I'm done with training, taking a leisurely walk to relax." He then mentally checked the schedule Luan Ye had sent him. After confirming that he was still in class, he turned around and looked at Yu Mao standing next to him. "Why should I tell you?"
Yu Mao raised his hand, indicating that he had 'absolutely no other thoughts': "I'm just simply curious! And you know what, that person is quite good-looking..."
Hearing this, Gao Yuan suddenly sensed a strange sense of crisis and glared at him: "What's it to you if I'm good-looking?!"
That's my boyfriend! Not yours!
"No, that's not what I meant." Yu Mao quickly tried to justify his previous words, "I think you two are a perfect match, really! I just want to know what his name is and whether it suits you!"
Gao Yuan wanted to say, "It's none of your business, stay away from me."
But when the words came to his lips, his original meaning changed: "What? There's actually a saying about whether a name is suitable or not?"
——How come he never knew?
"Of course!" How could Yu Mao miss this opportunity that came right to his door? He clenched his fist and put it to his mouth while saying this, coughing heavily. "I learned how to calculate marriage from my grandfather before. He told me that people's names are actually connected in some mysterious way..."
"Luan Ye," Gao Yuan said without hesitation, "My boyfriend's name is Luan Ye."
He really wanted to know whether his name matched Luan Ye's, and he didn't notice the loophole in Yu Mao's mouth at all, let alone ask the other party, "Didn't your grandfather pass away when you were three years old?"
This sentence popped out directly.
Yu Mao thought about it and felt that the name seemed a little familiar, but he couldn't remember why he felt the name was familiar.
He continued walking with Gao Yuan for a while.
It was not until both of them had walked a circle that Gao Yuan finally realized something.
He turned around and asked, "Are you fucking kidding me?"
Does it take so long to figure out whether a name fits?
Yu Mao then remembered why he felt the name sounded familiar. Wasn't this the actor from the melon he'd recently eaten?!
He was chatting with his friends before and complained that it turns out that the school hunk also has to go through the pain of his partner not wanting to make it public!
Yu Mao subconsciously glanced at Gao Yuan next to him, and received another venomous "Are you lying to me?"
After confirming that Gao Yuan wasn't a liar and that the guy's looks were indeed what a school hunk should be, Yu Mao, who could never keep secrets, burst out in surprise, "Holy crap, so Brother Yuan, your boyfriend is that hunk from the music school?!"
The sound was so loud that it almost filled the entire playground.
Yu Mao slowed down a bit and thought: But that's not right, didn't the other party say that they had broken up?
[Renovation progress: 75%] Maoqiu said in a very low voice.
It glanced at the host who was taking notes seriously and decided to remind him again after class.
Alas, it’s not good for the host to love studying too much!
All the strategies it had prepared, such as "How to make the host give up the golden thigh", "How to make the host's life more fulfilling", and "365 ways to persuade the host not to try to take shortcuts", were useless.
Oh, this is such a sweet burden!
Luan Ye is not a system and does not have the ability to read minds, so naturally he has no idea what kind of messed up things the system is thinking about above his head.
He looked up at the PPT on the whiteboard and continued to take notes.
Most college students take notes on their mobile phones, but Luan Ye always feels that a good memory is not as good as a good pen.
Those notes and photos you took might stay in your phone for 800 years and you won’t even remember to look at them. So instead of relying on your phone, it’s better to rely on the tip of your pen.
What's more, the impression will be more profound after writing it, and it will be more convenient to review it.
He'd certainly heard the system say the upgrade progress was 75%, but he was still jotting down notes and thinking about the key points the teacher had just mentioned. The phrase "75% upgrade progress" slipped through his mind like a loach, and the system hadn't even registered it.
Anyway, the system didn't give him any other tasks, and he always acted like a hands-off boss, so there was nothing to worry about.
Let’s talk about it later.
The consequence, which I’ll talk about later, was that Luan Ye had just finished class and before she had time to put her notebook and books into her bag, she received a call from her boyfriend.
He was sighing inwardly about how Gao Yuan's courage was either as small as a sesame seed or so huge that he couldn't even fit anything in. He put on a single Bluetooth headset and pressed the "Connect" button on the screen.
"Boyfriend," Gao Yuan's voice came from the other end, his tone unable to conceal his grief and anger, "I'm telling you, I've been cheated!"
"How much money did they defraud you of?" Luan Ye keenly caught the word 'defraud' and immediately said, "If the amount is large, call the police right now."
He knew that with Gao Yuan's intelligence, he would most likely be deceived one day.
I just don’t know how much Gao Yuan was cheated of.
Xu Zhixin, who was about to tease Luan Ye about whether he was talking to his girlfriend on the phone, silently retracted his head after hearing this: It sounds like... something seems wrong?
"It's not that person who was cheated, it's me who was cheated!" Gao Yuan immediately explained to her boyfriend.
"Fraud?" Luan Ye looked bewildered. "How can fraud not be fraud?"
Don’t they all mean the same thing?
"No." Unable to explain clearly for a while, Gao Yuan simply told Luan Ye what happened, "It's a friend of mine. He said his grandfather can tell fortunes."
"Yeah." Luan Ye nodded.
It turns out that the crime was committed by an acquaintance, but this makes it easy to solve.
"He said he'd learned a few tricks and could tell marriages," Gao Yuan continued. "He also said... you can tell if two people are compatible just by looking at their names."
“——Ah.” Luan Ye stopped and felt as if he realized something.
...It didn't seem to be what he thought.
"So I told him your name," Gao Yuan continued. "We happened to be on the playground, and he had a very loud voice. So everyone on the playground heard it."
Luan Ye imagined the scene and felt it was quite spectacular.
The Sports Institute is close to their college, so they must know about the post on their forum. I guess... I guess they didn't read it because Gao Yuan, who looks very straight, actually has a boyfriend, but because Gao Yuan is the one who broke up with the school hunk on the forum.
"So now they all know I'm your boyfriend," Gao Yuan whispered, "Don't be angry."
…
Luan Ye began to walk out with the few people left in the classroom. He pondered the logic behind Gao Yuan's words, but still couldn't understand it.
Gao Yuan still doesn’t know that he has been unilaterally dumped by him. He just thinks that these people already know about their affairs.
So why did Gao Yuan think that he would be angry because of these things? Gao Yuan knew that he had always been the one who wanted to come out more than the other two.
Seeing the host's mind once again filled with questions, the watching system finally spoke: [Host, do you think it's possible that... he thinks it would be better for this kind of thing to be announced by the host himself, rather than letting others know because of such a mistake?]
[Does that seem to make sense?] Luan Ye nodded slightly.
"So?" he then asked.
"Hmm?" Gao Yuan was stunned. "Why?"
"So did he finally tell you," Luan Ye asked, "if our names matched?"
"--Ah." Gao Yuan felt that he might have understood what Luan Ye wanted to express.
Yu Mao's stupid shout actually didn't bring anything to the surface. There were quite a few people exercising on the playground. They weren't deaf either; they also knew about the music school incident.
If the person involved was not "that Gao Yuan", they would probably come over and ask what was going on.
But the key is that the person involved is Gao Yuan.
Students at the Sports Academy have to train every day and have to keep an eye on their food, so they don't have as many rules as other academies. At most, they're told to "don't go too far when fighting." Fights are a common occurrence at this school.
And Gao Yuan can be called the "best" in fighting.
When other people fight, they're always careful not to go too far, but Gao Yuan is different. When he's really angry, he doesn't even know how to write "carefulness." When other people fight and encounter a teacher, they're bound to stop. But Gao Yuan is different. He even dares to continue the fight right in front of the teacher, until the teacher personally intervenes.
So even though the people on the playground were curious about what was going on, and couldn't believe that Gao Yuan was actually the other person involved in the melon, the only thing they dared to do in the end was to pull out their phones and share the matter with their friends.
As for asking Gao Yuan what was going on? If you wanted to be beaten, you could have just said it directly. There was no need to beat around the bush.
Gao Yuan kicked away Yu Mao who came over to apologize to him for no apparent number of times.
He finally couldn't stand it anymore and turned around to glare at the other person.
——It’s not fucking over yet, is it?
If it weren't for what Luan Ye said just now, he might really disregard the friendship between roommates and drag Yu Mao aside to teach him a lesson.
He didn't really think Yu Mao could keep secrets; they were all roommates, so everyone knew who was who. But he'd just told him, "I promise I have no ulterior motives," and then, frightened, he'd let the whole playground know. This was really testing his patience.
If Yu Mao had brought this uncontrollable mouth into a palace drama, he would have been killed within the first ten minutes of the first episode. The two green leaves in the lunch box were only because the crew was conscientious and didn't want him to starve to death.
After being suddenly glared at by Gao Yuan, Yu Mao really didn't dare to go over.
He moved to the steps next to the playground and sat down silently.
He was already surprised that Gao Yuan, who looked very fierce, was targeting a man. How could he have imagined that Gao Yuan would be the other party involved in that melon!
However, judging by Gao Yuan's previous emphasis on "we're not in a superficial relationship," it doesn't seem like the two have broken up. Could it be that Gao Yuan's partner wants this incident to pass smoothly and doesn't want anyone to find him, wanting to protect him?
Wait a minute, protect Gao Yuan?
Yu Mao thought of Gao Yuan’s fierce glare just now, rubbed the goose bumps on his arms vigorously, and then shuddered: Impossible, this is all impossible!
The word "protected"... really cannot be used together with Gao Yuan, who looks very fierce. It makes people feel weird and uncomfortable.
Gao Yuan, who looked very fierce, suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he heard what Luan Ye said on the other end of the phone, but he still replied in a low voice: "He said we are a perfect match, a match made in heaven."
