15. Sneak Attack
52.
In the blink of an eye, it was Friday, and after the last class in the afternoon, the courses for the week were over.
I don't know how the class schedule is arranged. Everyone is obviously eager to have a holiday, but they have two consecutive professional courses. Lin Can was fully focused for the whole afternoon. Finally, the bell rang and he breathed a sigh of relief. He almost felt like he was dying.
The old professor walked out of the classroom leisurely. Lin Can also stood up and followed the others slowly out of the classroom.
He was carrying a shoulder bag. Just as he put the last pen in the bag and was about to put it on, someone suddenly tapped his right shoulder.
Lin Can thought that it was Fu Xingzhi who came to the classroom to pick him up. He turned around in surprise, but it was not the person he wanted to see.
"You really have a full class schedule on Friday? What a mess." Li He complained nonchalantly.
This sentence revealed two pieces of information: first, he just learned about Lin Can's class schedule; second, he had been waiting here for a while.
Unfortunately, Lin Can didn't pay any attention to the deeper meaning. He just frowned and asked him, "Is there something wrong?"
Li He was stunned by the question. He pinched his earlobe with his hand for a long time before he managed to utter, "Um...you don't have anything else to do this weekend, right?"
After saying this, he put his hands into his trouser pockets again, raised his head stiffly, and tried hard to maintain his usual free and easy image.
He didn't want Lin Can to think that he was actively inviting him on a date or anything like that. At best, he was just making up for what happened last time. Yes, compensation.
Li He figured out the reason to convince himself, and his expression instantly returned to his arrogant look.
Lin Can had no intention of guessing what the man in front of him was thinking. For a long time, he had been so exhausted from trying to please him that he was almost losing himself.
"I have an appointment." Lin Can said calmly.
Li He, who had been full of confidence, felt like he had been slapped in the face by his answer. He lost even the little pride he had and asked in surprise, "You have an appointment? Who do you have an appointment with?"
Lin Can frowned even deeper. He had already wasted too long, and Fu Xingzhi must be waiting anxiously outside the school gate.
"This is none of your business. I'm going home."
Li He still couldn't suppress the bitter feeling in his heart. He pinched Lin Can's wrist a little uncontrollably and questioned him: "It's only been a few days and you've already found another employer, Lin Can, do you have any shame?"
His figure was approaching, almost forcing Lin Can into a corner.
Lin Can was really... angry to the extreme, and even wanted to laugh.
He knew that he couldn't explain anything to such a person, so he just regarded the previous four years as an indispensable experience in his growth. Now he didn't want to say anything more to Li He, and just wanted to go home quickly and read with Fu Xingzhi.
"Li He, don't be so childish," Lin Can said in a neutral tone, and slowly broke free from his grip.
Li He watched Lin Can's back getting farther and farther away, but he still didn't react.
An emotion called "frustration" then came over him, making this proud and somewhat conceited young man taste what regret was for the first time.
53.
Lin Can is really exhausted both physically and mentally now. He is already tired enough from a day of classes, and now he has to deal with someone he doesn't want to see again.
He immediately wanted to rush to Fu Xingzhi's car, lie on his lap and take a nap.
The distance from the teaching building to the school gate was so long that it would take a long time to reach Fu Xingzhi. Just when he was about to start running, he was suddenly brought into a slightly cool embrace.
Lin Can would never mistake him for someone else because the aura was too familiar.
"Fu Xingzhi!" His tone was full of surprise.
Lin Can felt that as soon as he saw this person, all the irritability in his heart was dispelled, and was replaced by waves of warm and solid feelings. He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
Fu Xingzhi found an empty corner and stood there waiting to attack Lin Can. He thought his first reaction would be a struggle, but he unexpectedly received a smile as bright as the sun.
Fu Xingzhi couldn't help laughing now and asked him, "Aren't you afraid that someone might kidnap you?"
"Who would be so bored? Besides, am I worth ten yuan a pound?"
He was joking, but Fu Xingzhi answered him seriously: "Where can I buy it? 100,000 per pound. I'll buy it."
"Puchi——" Lin Can couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Just now, when I saw you walking towards me, you kept your head down. Are you unhappy?" Fu Xingzhi asked him.
Lin Can thought about whether to tell him about Li He, but in the end he didn't want to let this name break the atmosphere at the moment, so he shook his head and said, "Nothing."
Fu Xingzhi had already taken out a piece of fruit candy from his pocket and asked as before, "Guess what it tastes like?"
"Um... grapes?"
The hard candy was fed into his mouth. Lin Can stretched out his tongue to taste it and it clearly tasted like orange.
"Why can't I guess right?" He couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
Fu Xingzhi gently wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "Okay, don't be unhappy if you can't guess it."
When two pairs of eyes met, both of them were smiling. Lin Can felt that the last bit of unhappiness in his heart seemed to have really disappeared. He didn't understand why Fu Xingzhi could always come up with a flavor that he couldn't guess, because it was like "you are not allowed to be unhappy if you can't guess it", which was like a magic in itself.
Back to the topic, he asked Fu Xingzhi: "How did you get in?"
"I waited outside for too long," he said, but suddenly sighed, "It wasn't long at all. I was just too impatient."
"What's the rush?"
Fu Xingzhi answered with action. He pinched Lin Can's chin with one hand and gently pulled him into his arms with the other hand. As soon as he lowered his head, a gentle kiss was taken away by him.
"Steal a kiss," he said.
Doing this kind of thing in the teaching building, even though he was standing in a blind spot of the surveillance camera and no one was passing by, Lin Can still felt a little embarrassed, and his eyes were moist.
Fu Xingzhi still overestimated himself. Looking at Lin Can like this, he had no self-control at all.
Lin Can probably realized something, and whispered shamelessly, "Do you still want to... in the car?"
At that moment, he could almost feel the light in Fu Xingzhi's eyes.
