Chapter 050 Shadow Man-6
"Hey, Meng Tang is back? When? Why did I just find out now?"
"He's still so handsome. I really want to know what kind of girls he likes."
"But who is the boy with glasses next to him? Is he a friend? Why haven't I seen him before?"
On the first floor of the cafeteria, Jiang Yan adjusted the frame of his glasses. He concentrated on eating the food in his bowl, ignoring the glances from all around.
He swallowed the green leaves and raised his eyes slightly to notice that Meng Tang across from him hadn't touched a single bite of the food in his bowl. He was startled and raised his eyes, only to bump into the other person's sight.
Hey, why is he looking at me?
Or has he been looking at me since the beginning?
Jiang Yan looked puzzled, "Why don't you eat?"
The other party seemed to have just come out of his immersion and reacted a little too much, "Oh, I'm not hungry yet."
"All right."
Jiang Yan continued to eat. After taking a few bites, he found that the other person was still staring at him. He felt a little numb. If it was a girl looking at him like this, he might narcissistically think that the other person might be interested in him.
But Mengtang is a man, and from what other girls have said, there should be no problem with his sexual orientation.
"Can you look somewhere else?" Jiang Yan said bluntly.
"Oh, sorry." The other party apologized sincerely, but his eyes were still on him and there was no sign of moving away.
Jiang Yan: “…” What on earth is going on?
Is he hallucinating again?
"Is there any misunderstanding between us?" Jiang Yan tightly gripped the chopsticks in his hand and looked at the person opposite him sensitively.
Meng Tang's face was gentle, "No, I just like watching you eat."
Ah, isn’t it something every husband should do to like looking at his wife?
The shadow monster in the skin of "Mengtang" was a little confused as to what actions had caused the other party's dissatisfaction.
In fact, the shadow monster had thought about coming to see Jiang Yan in its true form, but it accidentally exposed itself last night, and Jiang Yan was frightened when he saw part of its true form.
At that time, the shadow monster realized that he was too ugly and scared his wife.
That's why it found a skin bag to get close to the ginger salt.
This body is the present "Mengtang".
"...watch me eat?"
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
"Mengtang" still smiled politely.
The real Meng Tang is still recuperating at home, and no one knows that the Meng Tang in the school now is a fake.
But the shadow monster only imitated Mengtang's appearance. Mengtang's real personality traits were learned from other people. Once someone who was familiar with Mengtang came over and asked a few questions, it would expose itself.
Fortunately, although Mengtang himself is gentle and polite, and has a good relationship with many people, it is just good. This high school student put all his energy into the college entrance examination, so he has no friends who really understand him.
This high school student hides a very lonely heart under his gentle and excellent appearance.
This is also one of the reasons why the shadow monster chose Mengtang as its imitation object.
"I think it's a big problem," said Jiang Yan.
Meng Tang: "Okay then."
Feeling that the eyes were turned away, Jiang Yan could finally eat without any burden.
But at this time, he heard some dense noises again.
"Wow, why did Meng Tang keep staring at the boy with glasses just now?"
"Why do I feel like there's something ambiguous between them?"
"Meng Tang has never had a girlfriend. Besides the fact that his studies were delayed, could it be that the real reason is that he...likes boys?"
Jiang Yan frowned when he heard this, but he was not the protagonist of the discussion, so he had no reason to explain anything. He was just a little curious about Meng Tang's reaction, so he raised his head, only to find that the person opposite was picking at the food in the bowl with chopsticks out of boredom, with no reaction at all!
Hey, brother, people say that your sexual orientation is abnormal, why don’t you explain anything?
Jiang Yan complained secretly.
But on second thought, it is normal for college bullies to not care about such boring things.
What is this called? It’s a big picture and you don’t pay attention to these messy rumors from the outside world.
As Jiang Yan thought about it, he began to have a new respect for Meng Tang. Not only did he turn a deaf ear to the girls' comments, but he was also willing to make friends with someone like him.
"Come to think of it, the college entrance examination is coming soon. Isn't it popular to confess your secret crush before the exam? Could it be that the guy with glasses is the one Meng Tang likes?"
"This is too outrageous. Meng Tang likes this kind of... boy? He doesn't look handsome. He's as skinny as a skeleton. He doesn't have any masculinity at all."
"Isn't this kind of Xiao Ling popular now? She is delicate and frail, even more delicate than a girl."
Not only the girls were discussing, but some boys also joined in. Soon the cafeteria was filled with discussions, and some even took out their phones to take photos of the two of them.
whispering sound.
Jiang Yan pulled the corner of his mouth.
"What's wrong?"
Meng Tang noticed Jiang Yan's expression and asked.
Jiang Yan shook his head, "Nothing, just a little noisy."
"Is that so? Are you done eating? After that, let's go talk somewhere else?"
"I have finished eating, but..." Jiang Yan looked at Meng Tang's bowl and found that he had been using his chopsticks to pick up the food in the bowl but had not eaten a single bite.
Isn't he hungry?
"You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
Meng Tang smiled and said, "I'm not hungry. If you've finished eating, let's go."
"……OK."
Is this college god trying to lose weight?
Jiang Yan suspected that Meng Tang was sick because he didn't eat well.
After coming out of the cafeteria, the world finally became a lot quieter.
"You don't seem to eat much?" Jiang Yan suddenly said. The fine sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves and fell on his face, adding a touch of softness.
Meng Tang stared at Jiang Yan in a trance. After all, it was his first time to watch someone so closely from a "human" perspective.
When it was a shadow monster, it could only stalk Jiang Yan in the dark. The rest of the time it was Voldemort, crawling in the dark on the dirty ground.
"Eat, maybe I... am not hungry yet." Meng Tang said.
The truth is that he can't eat human food.
When he was Jiang Yan's shadow before, he sneaked out to eat a piece of bread that Jiang Yan had stored, and he almost vomited to death.
There are only two kinds of food for shadow monsters: one is the shadows of other people, and the other is the emotions of people who have been "marked".
The "mark" of this shadow monster is Jiang Yan, so it can eat Jiang Yan's emotions! After all, it was born for this.
"Okay, but you still have to remember to eat three meals a day." In fact, Jiang Yan is not a motherly person, but he still couldn't help but want to remind Meng Tang, "Studying is important, but physical health comes first."
"Just tell me, you were sick for so long this time. Did you not eat well before?"
Meng Tang blinked and said, "Okay, you are right, I will eat well in the future."
"Um."
Finally, Jiang Yan took Meng Tang back to the classroom.
They eat quite quickly, and Jiang Yan's class is mostly composed of lazy students, so there is no such thing as him writing furiously in class at this hour.
You will be the same when you come back as you were when you left.
It's very quiet.
"I thought you would go back to your class to study." Jiang Yan returned to his seat and paused when he turned around and pulled the interlayer of his schoolbag.
Inside were the four little paper figures, Jiang Yan originally wanted to leave them at home because they were still asleep when he left. But he was afraid that they might be seen by their uncles and aunts, or something unexpected might happen, so after thinking it over, he decided to bring them to school.
Jiang Yan glanced at Meng Tang behind him. Meng Tang walked towards him and said, "Didn't you just say that besides studying, good health is the most important thing? I just recovered from an illness, so it should be okay for me to have a short lunch break, right?"
Jiang Yan saw Meng Tang wink at him, with a hint of intimacy in his eyes, which was a heavy blow to him, a straight man who understood gays very well.
Could this person really be...gay?
Jiang Yan tilted his head to look at the glass window beside him. His good looks, which were hidden by his glasses, were reflected in the glass. He had a good face shape, but with those ill-matched glasses, he could only be considered average.
Even if it's true, Meng Tang shouldn't look down on me, right?
Jiang Yan hoped that he was just being too sentimental.
At this time, Jiang Yan noticed that his schoolbag was moving.
It should be the four little paper figures that woke up.
But it was a really bad time to wake up.
Jiang Yan rubbed his brow with a headache, especially when he heard Meng Tang's question from behind, which made him even more puzzled.
"Your schoolbag seemed to be moving just now?"
Jiang Yan immediately said, "No, you read it wrong." At the same time, he pressed down his schoolbag with his hands, stuffed the books in the drawer into the schoolbag, pretending that he was packing.
"Really?" Meng Tang asked persistently.
Jiang Yan's heart tightened, thinking: Is it that obvious? Such a keen perception?
If someone else asked this question, Jiang Yan would definitely think that the other person was looking for trouble, but now that person is Meng Tang, a recognized model student in the school.
Jiang Yan dispelled his doubts, met Meng Tang's gaze, and forced a smile, "Do you really want to know?"
Meng Tang looked innocent. "If you can't tell me, forget it. Although I'm still curious about what's moving, is it a puppy or a kitten?"
It's obvious that these two creatures can't be squeezed in, right?
Jiang Yan's suspicion, which he had originally dispelled, resurfaced. It was hard for him not to guess the real purpose of Meng Tang's deliberate and illogical words.
After beating around the bush for so long, you still want to see what's hidden in his schoolbag, right?
Jiang Yan fell into deep thought.
I don’t know if it’s because the other person has a strong aura of a top student, which led Jiang Yan to have an idea: If the other person is Meng Tang, it’s not impossible to tell the truth, after all, he will definitely keep the secret, right?
But that's really unfair.
In this way, Meng Tang will know his two secrets.
Thinking of the condition proposed by the other party before lunch to help him keep the secret of the live broadcast of his cross-dressing show, Jiang Yan wondered what condition the other party would propose next?
In fact, Meng Tang had told him to be Jiang Yan's little follower before, but it was never really implemented. Instead, it was Meng Tang who actually followed him all the way. It seemed that Meng Tang was Jiang Yan's follower.
"Okay, I can tell you, but you have to promise me two things." Jiang Yan looked into Meng Tang's eyes and said seriously, "One is to keep my secret, and the other is not to make any requests!"
The other party made a thoughtful expression, then nodded, "I promise you."
"That's good."
Then Jiang Yan opened the compartment of the schoolbag, and four little paper figures' heads popped out one after another.
"Oh my god... we are dying of suffocation..."
"Wow... It's so stuffy in there, I need mommy to comfort me."
"Gurgle... I'm hungry again..."
Jiang Yan picked up the four little paper figures and placed them on his palm, then turned around to show Meng Tang, "Look, they are moving, but I'm not responsible if you get scared."
“Hey…isn’t this…die…” Daddy.
A small paper figure was the first to notice Huadian. Just when it was about to say something, it suddenly met Mengtang's "kind" eyes.
It was so scared that it shuddered violently.
The remaining three little paper figures also noticed something was wrong and looked away one after another, soon ending up with a look of fear as if they had seen a ghost.
"What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Yan missed Meng Tang's terrifying look and only saw four little paper figures that looked like they had lost their souls.
"Are they...sick?"
I heard Meng Tang's gentle question.
Jiang Yan said, "Hmm..." "I don't know either. This is the first time I've seen them like this."
"But come to think of it, you accepted them so quickly? I was shocked when I saw these little guys."
Meng Tang smiled softly, "I really like watching horror movies with ghosts, but I didn't expect that they really exist in reality."
"Eh?" Jiang Yan's eyes lit up as if they had finally found a common topic. "You also like to watch horror movies. I thought that academic masters like you only watch literary documentaries or something like that."
"Are you surprised?" Meng Tang said softly.
But I thought in my heart: I watched these horror movies with you.
