Chapter 23 Death Progress. I want to ask you a question.
Yu Han hung up the phone only after she reached the restaurant door.
Shen Man had even arrived before her.
"Didn't you say you'd come downstairs?" Chen Man greeted her from her seat.
Yu Han approached with a slightly awkward look on her face. "I was on the phone. I was standing at the elevator entrance and didn't notice it, so I took the stairs instead."
"Oh my God, you climbed five floors?" Shen Man felt distressed and immediately poured her some water.
"It's okay." With someone accompanying her, she didn't feel tired. She crawled as fast as an ant because she couldn't move at all if he said a word.
Chen Man handed her the cup and pushed the restaurant's ordering tablet over to her: "Order Hanhan."
Yu Han randomly ordered a few of her favorites and handed them back to her: "Is it far for you to come here?"
"Not far, just nearby. How about you? Did you come from home?"
"No, I went to play pool with a friend. To kill some time while we wait for dinner."
"Wow, that's great! I was worried you'd be bored this afternoon."
After ordering, Chen Man suddenly asked her curiously, "Are you and your, um, partner, going to play ball?"
“…” Yu Han shook her head subconsciously.
"Is it true? It's not him?" She was very curious and doubtful.
"no."
"You guys speak Chinese on Instagram, so isn't he from Lan City? Did you look for him when you got back?"
Yu Han stammered, "We are not together, actually."
"So you two are flirting on Instagram every day?!!" she protested, completely refuting the question.
"..." Really? He would just leave her a message when she updated. Everything he said was pretty normal, right? Any unusual things he said were over the phone, um...
Yu Han said, "We have a pretty good relationship and keep in touch often."
Shen Man asked leisurely, "There's a difference between frequent contact and daily contact, right, baby?"
“…” Yu Han blushed completely and lowered her head.
Chen Man smiled. Seeing her expression, she couldn't help but gossip: "Tell me, who is it?"
Yu Han really didn't know what to say. She didn't know how to fabricate an identity for someone. Subconsciously, she didn't want to fabricate one because she had never met anyone better than him, but she couldn't say anything bad about him either.
"He, is..."
"Hmm? You're so hesitant. There's definitely something fishy going on."
"You guys, from school."
"Huh?" Shen Man's face was filled with shock. "What? Students from our school?"
Yu Han confessed awkwardly, "Didn't I ask you last Spring Festival where your class, Grade 1, Class 29, was?"
"Oh my god!! You're with that guy!!!" Shen Man's eyes widened, "Online dating?!"
"No, we're not together. But the person who left me the message is that person."
Chen Man's eyes were full of doubt: "Are you sure he's from our school? Really? He's not a liar, honey? Don't be fooled."
"Really." Yu Han held up her chin, suddenly smiling, and said very confidently, "He is in your class."
"Huh?" Chen Man couldn't believe it, her face full of disbelief. "Class one? You know that class one is full of top students? It's a gathering of talented people."
"I know, really."
"I really think he's lying to you," Chen Man said with a very melancholy tone, "This person might be from our school. He knows that Class 1 is a genius, so he's using this to lie to you."
"I know many of his classmates. There is indeed someone with this name in Class 1. And if he lied to me, he wouldn't have given me...an expensive gift."
"??? Say it again." Chen Man felt that she could no longer keep up with her shock, which came one after another.
Yu Han: "He once gave me a camera that was endorsed by my idol. He also gave me other gifts, all very expensive."
"Oh my god, is that true? Did he take your stuff?"
"I sent him a birthday present in return," she explained, "but it was done secretly. He hadn't told me when his birthday was before. I pestered him for a long time, but he still wouldn't tell me, and he wouldn't let his friends tell me either.
I sent it secretly. Just today, we were on the phone and I was scolded and threatened that if I acted without authorization next time, I would be deleted from WeChat.
She laughed.
Chen Man looked at her with a melancholy expression. "Now that you say that, this person seems real and a fairly normal person... But, what's his name? You should tell me so I can find out if there's such a person in Class 1. It'll be safer."
"..." Yu Han blushed and shook her head, "No, I'll tell you when we're together."
"Oh my god!" Chen Man was furious. "What's the difference between you two being together now?!"
Yu Han smiled, but still shook her head vigorously.
Shen Man said painfully: "I'm very curious about what this person looks like."
Yu Han looked up: "You are not in the same class. I told you that you don't know him."
Chen Man spread her hands: "That's not necessarily true. I do know some people, such as Qin Yi."
“…” She covered her burning face.
Chen Man said happily: "If you are with this big brother, then I allow you to be ambiguous."
Yu Han suppressed her laughter and said, "I heard Tongtong talk about him. You all know this person."
Shen Man took a deep breath and nodded: "Everyone in Lanzhong should know him, he is handsome, super handsome."
Yu Han narrowed her eyes and nodded: "Is that so."
Chen Man: "But there's no chance for you. I heard that this guy has a girlfriend outside of school. She went to school to look for him before, and was encountered by our grade director. It caused a big uproar and he was almost expelled."
Yu Han held her breath and inquired, "Really? What happened next?"
"Believe it or not, it was dropped. I heard that he confronted our head teacher on the phone in front of our principal that day, and it was the principal who suppressed the matter."
Yu Han was surprised. Although it happened a long time ago, she didn't know about this.
Chen Man said as she ate some side dishes, "That's Qin Yi. I heard he's always been number one since the junior high school next door. When he took the exam for our school, the principal was very happy, so the school values him. He also wins gold medals in competitions every year. That's why we treat him like a treasure. Otherwise, if it were any other person, if they dared to contradict that stern head teacher, they would pack up and leave."
Yu Han felt that she was extremely sinful and that it was right not to come to see him this year.
"But the head teacher was transferred when we were in our second year of high school." She shrugged and smiled. "I don't know if it was because of this incident, but maybe it was related to some extent. Anyway, his temper is not suitable for dealing with a great person like Qin Yi, hahaha. He would confront him head-on, and the principal couldn't bear to see Qin Yi expelled, he cherishes him."
Yu Han nodded. She had heard this from Chen Ze.
Revenge.
Chen Man returned to the point and sighed, "It's hard to imagine that the top student in the grade would fall in love, but with his face, it would be a waste not to talk about it."
Yu Han just smiled and said nothing.
"But you," Shen Man winked ambiguously, "tell me what he looks like? Is he handsome?"
Yu Han blushed a little, but still said bluntly: "Of course, I am obsessed with looks."
Chen Man laughed: "You can be obsessed with looks, you look like a princess."
Speaking of which, Yu Han thought of another question: when did someone fall in love with her? He only saw her once in Florence, and he hadn't seen her since then.
So is it... love at first sight?
Halfway through the meal, white snow started falling outside.
Chen Man took out her phone to take a video, lamenting that she hadn't seen snow in Lan City for many years...
Yu Han held her chin up and looked out the window, thinking about the topic that had been bothering her over and over again today. She wondered, if the person she saw was really Qin Yi...
How could she accept not seeing each other for the next year?
The hazy night made her recall the afternoon when they watched the snow fall together in the billiard hall. She recalled him approaching her and gently saying that he would play with her next time he came back...
She knew clearly that once this conjecture was true, she would collapse and lose control, and would want to see him again every minute... because this person loved her a thousand times more than she imagined.
During the days when she thought they missed each other again and again, he actually found different ways to accompany her every time.
He had predicted it clearly. He had said since last year in Kuala Lumpur that if they kept in touch she would keep coming back to China, so he simply chose to disappear.
That was just a connection, but now, she almost saw him.
Yu Han suddenly asked Chen Man, "In your school's class one, besides that top student, are there any other good-looking people?"
"Yes, I have."
“…”
Yu Han's expression paused, "Ha, really?"
Shen Man nodded, put down her phone and went to pick up the food, "Yes, there are several handsome guys and beautiful girls in the class."
“…”
Chen Man laughed and said, "Bao Tong said our school did it on purpose, just to put all the handsome and beautiful students into one class, to spur poor students like us to work harder, hahaha." She spread her hands, "It's as if I don't want to work hard."
"..." Yu Han was a little confused, "Is there a man with the surname Jin?"
"I don't know about that. I know Qin Yi because he's always at the top of the class. And every time he wins a prize in a competition, his name is mentioned at the school meeting, so everyone knows him. But he's the best student in the class. I've only seen the others. They're good-looking, but not as amazing as him, so I don't know their names."
"Is there anyone who looks comparable to Qin Yi?"
"It probably depends on people's perspective and preferences. I don't think so."
Yu Han thought that the guy surnamed Jin looked like a big star, and he fit her fantasy of Qin Yi's appearance. If Shen Man thought his appearance was just average, it would be unrealistic, but if he was Qin Yi, and she said no one could compare to him, then it would be very reasonable.
However, after all, another handsome guy suddenly appeared, and Yu Han was confused and couldn't be sure that he was really Qin Yi...
"Bao Tong has been very close to someone in Class 1 recently. She is a new transfer student this semester. She is very obsessed with her and keeps running to Class 1. I asked her why she is not obsessed with Qin Yi, and she said that this is no different from challenging herself to get the first place in the grade, and the whole school knows that she has a girlfriend, hahaha." Shen Man laughed.
"Really? I haven't heard her say that."
"She didn't make it. She must have been too embarrassed to tell you. She's more interested in you, the one who did."
“…”
"Let me show you some photos of those handsome guys." Chen Man reached for the phone that was lying on the corner of the table.
Yu Han was stunned: "What photo?" She was a little nervous.
"It's the one Bao Tong likes." She turned the phone screen around. "She sent it to me."
Across half the table, Yu Han looked at the unfamiliar yet handsome face and sighed sincerely, "Indeed, all the handsome ones are in Class 1."
"Yeah, yeah, I'm envious."
But it is true that no one is as good-looking as that so-and-so, and their styles and temperaments are different. Someone has top-level configuration, and any one of them looks like a poster.
In the taxi on the way home after dinner, Yu Han sent a message to Qin Yi on her mobile phone.
"My classmate showed me a handsome guy in your class. There are so many handsome guys in your class."
Qin translation: “???????”
Yu Han: "Really, really. Don't you think so?"
Qin Yi: "No, why do you want to read it?"
Yu Han: "The purpose of having two eyes is to see. Who doesn't love beauty?"
“…” Qin Yi made a voice call to her.
Yu Han answered the call with a smile: "What's wrong? What's wrong? The phone rang before I even got home."
"Then why didn't you tell me at home and mess with me so early in the morning?" he questioned on the phone.
"..." She smiled timidly, looking at the snow outside the window and defended herself, "I was just saying it casually, so stingy."
Qin Yi: "Who just told me not to have two relationships at the same time?"
Yu Han found it strange: "No, I don't. I just appreciate beauty, and you and I can't see it."
"Turn on the video, now, right now!"
“…”
Yu Han hung up the call.
A video invitation popped up on the screen, and she was so scared that she covered the phone with her legs and defended her eyes tightly.
She wanted to know if that person was him, but she couldn't look, otherwise, she would suffer for the next year.
…
The weather was extremely cold the next day. Yu Han's parents sent her to the airport. They wanted to accompany her to check in and then send her to security check, but Yu Han saw that it was still early and didn't want to go in so soon.
She still remembered that she had made an appointment with someone yesterday to meet at the airport today, but it was almost impossible to meet again after passing security.
So she sent her parents away and went to check in slowly by herself.
The person she was waiting for had already noticed her from afar across several check-in counters.
After finishing the procedure, Qin Yi said to his sister, "I saw a friend."
Dong Lanyi raised an eyebrow: "Really? Where?"
"I'll go say hello." Qin Yi raised his chin and pointed at the person queuing in front of the counter.
Dong Lanyi looked and found that it was a girl.
She asked uncertainly, "Yes, the one in the white down jacket?"
"Um."
Qin Yi felt it was inconvenient to bring his sister to meet her, as that would expose him, so he said, "Can you go through security first?"
Dong Lanyi nodded and looked away: "Then I'll go to the lounge and wait for you."
"Um."
Dong Lanyi wanted to pull the suitcase, and Qin Yi said, "I'll take it."
The two of them only had one suitcase, so she left with her small bag on her back.
Qin Yi pulled a 20-inch suitcase and walked towards the little princess in line.
There weren't many people at the international flight boarding gate, with only one person standing in front of her.
Yu Han listened to music while lowering her head and pulling out her passport from her small backpack. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone approaching from behind, walking very close to her, stopping only when their legs touched her suitcase. And it was a man.
This is not a normal distance for queuing at all.
She looked back curiously, wondering what kind of outlaw was getting so close to her? Perhaps he was trying to cut in line!
Two glances passed across each other's cheeks, one was stunned, the other tried hard to pretend to be calm.
Yu Han was stunned, and then she smiled brightly the next second: "You, you are here? You saw me at once? That's amazing." She turned off the Bluetooth headset while speaking.
Qin Yi raised the corners of his lips and said, "You're not easy to recognize?" He lowered his head and said softly, "Is it almost the most conspicuous in the crowd?"
She laughed, a little embarrassed, "I thought it was some bad guy standing so close to me, but it turned out to be the person I was waiting for."
He smiled: "You are waiting for me."
"Yeah, didn't we agree to meet here? I even asked my parents to go back first so I could check in by myself. Hehe, I was afraid we wouldn't be able to see each other after we passed security."
Qin Yi's heart softened. Just like that casual remark, she had already been seriously creating opportunities to meet him today.
Yu Han looked around and found that he was the only one there: "Are you alone?"
"And my sister, she's going to security first. I'll come find you."
"Ohhhh. That's so embarrassing."
Qin Yi asked: "What time are you?"
"I still have almost three hours left. It's still early. The weather is bad today so I left early." She then asked, "What about you? What time are you leaving?"
"Half an hour later than you."
"That's great." She was very happy. "You came early too."
Yes, he went out early just to see her. My sister was also curious about why he went out early today. He also used the bad weather as an excuse, saying that there was a traffic jam in Lanxi due to snow today and transportation was inconvenient.
In fact, they were going to Landong Airport, which was 40 to 50 kilometers away from Minqiao Airport in the west, and the weather in the two areas was completely different.
Seeing that the person in front had finished, Qin Yi raised his chin and motioned her to come forward.
Yu Han turned around, took two steps, and handed her passport to the staff.
Qin Yi walked out of the queue to make room for the person behind him, and as he walked, he stuffed the boarding pass and passport showing the destination in his hand into the pocket of his windbreaker.
Yu Han couldn't help but stare at him. The young man stood outside the counter, carrying a 20-inch white suitcase. He wore a black baseball cap and the same black windbreaker and pants as yesterday. He looked as cool and serene as the bitter winter air, standing there like a star.
"Do you have any luggage to check in?" the staff asked Yu Han.
Yu Han immediately turned her head to look at the counter: "No, I can just carry it."
The staff nodded and quickly handed her the boarding pass tucked inside her passport.
"Thank you." She walked back and came to the boy.
Qin Yi pushed his suitcase, and the two of them walked towards the security checkpoint together in tacit understanding.
As Yu Han walked, she asked the people around her, "Are you going to play with your sister?"
"Um."
She suddenly sighed and said, "It's a pity there's nothing fun to do in Singapore. Otherwise, if you guys ever go to Singapore, I'll treat you to a meal."
“…” Qin Yi also sighed deeply in his heart.
He said, "I will go and have dinner with you if I get a chance."
"Okay, okay. But didn't you just travel to Malaysia last New Year's Eve? Why are you going again?"
Qin Yi made up a random sentence: "Last time I went with my classmates, this time I went with my family. Besides, we're not going to Kuala Lumpur."
"Oh, that's right. We can go somewhere else. Malaysia is more fun than Singapore."
While chatting, a passerby suddenly bumped into Yu Han's suitcase and almost knocked her down.
Qin Yi reached out in time and hugged her to his side.
The little princess was still gasping for breath and looked up confusedly, glancing at him and then at the culprit.
As the man ran, he turned back and apologized to the boy who was glaring at him as if he was going to kill him: "I'm sorry, I'm too late and I have to go through security. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"Okay." Yu Han lowered her head and checked her suitcase. Fortunately, there was nothing serious, just a few minor scratches.
But the backpack she was carrying was about to fall off.
She put her schoolbag on the suitcase and prepared to pull it together.
Qin Yi took her box.
Seeing him put the two boxes together and push them with one hand, Yu Han immediately said, "No, no, no, I can do it myself. Both of them are too heavy."
Qin Yi shook his head, said nothing, and walked forward.
"Thank you~" Yu Han caught up with him, very happy, "I always cause you trouble."
"fool."
Yu Han suddenly stopped.
Qin Yi turned around: "Hmm?"
"No..." Because of someone, she didn't know how many times a day she would be called a fool. She stared at him, feeling entangled and going crazy.
Or just ask him, are you Qin Yi?
But if that were true, could she kill him right here? No?
I'll find a chance to ask him after I pass security, ok.
After walking a few steps, she was still slower than him. Qin Yi turned around again and saw the little princess bending down and touching her calf.
"What happened? Were you hit?"
Yu Han looked up: "Oh, no, I was playing in the snow last night and I bumped into it."
"Did you bump into something?" He stopped, his tough brows furrowed.
Yu Han explained to him, "The snow was too thick at the entrance of our apartment building. I couldn't see the steps clearly, and then I missed a step and fell, hitting the edge of the steps."
Qin Yi took a deep breath: "Is it serious?"
Yu Han: "It doesn't hurt."
“…”
She laughed, "I bled last night. It just makes me walk a little weird, but it doesn't hurt."
"You're bleeding." He looked down at the snow boots on her feet. "Can I carry you on my back?"
"Ah, no, no." She immediately walked forward by herself.
Qin Yi slowed down again, paying attention to her speed and expression at all times.
However, the security checkpoint was far away, and even without her luggage, Yu Han almost vomited while walking.
After a long time, they finally arrived. She was about to cry: "I'm so tired, wow, wow, wow, why is Lantung Airport so big...it's even bigger than Singapore."
“…”
Qin Yi looked down at the girl who was so tired that she was bent over with her hands on the suitcase.
She looked up, her face full of guilt: "You pushed two suitcases and a schoolbag by yourself, so sorry."
Qin Yi's face was calm and his heart was steady. He breathed steadily, as if he had just gotten off a plane and was as relaxed as ever. "It's okay."
"Aren't you tired?" she asked curiously.
Qin Yi shook his head: "Not tired. After we pass security, can I carry you on my back? You're tired and uncomfortable."
Yu Han pursed her lips sadly. She didn't feel happy at all that someone was going to carry her on their backs, but rather sad about the disparity in power between them.
"You can still carry me! Are you an iron man?!"
Qin Yi laughed.
There weren't many people queuing today, and the two of them quickly entered security check.
Qin Yi carried two suitcases and a backpack to the conveyor belt by himself, threw his passport, boarding pass and mobile phone into the luggage box, took off his hat, stood at the end of the conveyor belt, unzipped his coat and took off his coat.
Halfway through taking off his clothes, he turned his head and saw the little girl staring at him.
Qin Yi: "Didn't you see it yesterday?"
"..." She blushed and lowered her head, "I just suddenly felt that taking off clothes in public was weird. It's different from taking them off in private."
As Qin Yi was taking off his clothes, he said, "In public, and then in private. Are you going to ruin me with your Spring and Autumn style of writing?"
“…” Yu Han closed her eyes in despair, wishing she could put herself on the conveyor belt as well.
Qin Yi came closer and asked, "Why are you still standing there?"
"Ah?" She looked up in confusion.
Qin Yi: "Why don't you take off your coat? They'll urge you to do it soon."
"Wow, I forgot." Yu Han hurriedly took off her down jacket.
Qin Yi didn't move and asked the people behind him to go to security check first. He waited there for the little princess to take off her coat, then took it, folded it, put it behind their luggage, and sent it onto the conveyor belt together.
Yu Han felt that, apart from Qin, there was actually no one in the world who was so kind to her... He would take care of everything, no matter how big or small, and would push her luggage, say he would carry her on his back, and even put her luggage and clothes in for her to go through security.
Even though there are many handsome guys in their class, could it really be someone else?
"Can I, can I ask you a question for a moment?" She finally mustered up the courage to ask weakly behind him.
Qin Yi asked nonchalantly, "What's the problem?"
"We'll talk later."
"What kind?"
"death penalty."
"..." Qin Yi laughed, turned around, and looked at her in the noisy security checkpoint, "You, then, are really an ungrateful little bastard."
Yu Han was anxious and immediately retorted: "You lied to me! How can you say it is..."
"What did I lie to you about?" he asked calmly and blankly.
Yu Han choked.
Qin Yi walked forward to the security check, and after a few steps he turned back and said, "Follow me, you big fool."
"..." She moved her small steps closely, thinking, every time you say one more fool, you speed up the process of death.
