Before the bell rang, it was like the darkness before dawn, or the silence before a storm... In short, there was no one else in the corridor except the two of them.
In the empty corridor, Yan Han heard his own trembling voice: "...What do you want to tell me?"
Lin Jianlu: "I have something to tell you, which may disturb you. If that's the case, I apologize in advance."
Yan Han: "..."
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and his heart was in his throat
. Yan Han said: "...Actually, I think it's better not to say some things." "Really?" Lin Jianlu pursed his thin lips slightly, as if thinking about the philosophy of his words.
"Yes." Yan Han laughed dryly. His personality was really not suitable for Tai Chi, but the opponent was Lin Jianlu! In order to keep this friendship, the elder brother still has to fight again.
Yan Han said: "If you don't tell me some things, I can pretend that I know nothing... nothing has happened, and then we can still be good brothers."
Lin Jianlu's slightly pursed thin lips relaxed, and he seemed to be relieved, "You really know that I know your secret."
Yan Han: "???"
What the hell? This time it was the elder brother's turn to be confused.
As Yan Han stared blankly, Lin Jianlu slowly took a step forward and tried to chant with him: "Good brother..."
Yan Han: "......?"
Things seemed to be a little different from what he thought.
This cognition made Yan Han's legs weak!
His legs bent uncontrollably, and his body leaned back like a boneless person, with his back directly against the wall. Disbelief and panic made him choose to play dumb again. Yan Han asked with a trembling voice: "What, what do you mean?"
In his vision, Lin Jianlu looked at him with his eyes slightly lowered, with doubts and hesitation in his eyes.
But in the end, he still slowly raised his arms and placed his hands on the wall on both sides of Yan Han's shoulders.
And Yan Han really didn't move. He leaned there, and Lin Jianlu's eyes were about to pop out, a little silly.
But this expression on his face would not reduce his appearance. Even a beauty with a terrified face is still a beauty. Yan Han's panic now looks a bit pitiful.
He still kept his knees slightly bent, which made him look shorter than before, creating the cutest height difference between him and Lin Jianlu.
This distance made Lin Jianlu feel a little overwhelmed. He was just afraid that Yan Han would get irritated and run away. At
this moment, with his hands still on the wall, he simply lowered his head, lowering it all the way until his lips were level with Yan Han's ears, until his voice would only be heard by the other party and would never be announced, then he opened his mouth and said in a pleasant voice: "Aren't you a boy?"
Yan Han: "..."
His words were undoubtedly questions, he had learned in elementary school that sentences ending with "嗎" are interrogative sentences.
But there was no element of doubt in Lin Jianlu's tone.
Yan Han: ... ! ! !
When Yan Han heard this, he almost jumped up, but Lin Jianlu was still looking down at him, so he didn't dare to jump. He
didn't dare to move.
He desperately thought about the mission requirements of coming to this world in his heart... What would happen if people knew his true gender...
Yan Han closed his eyes, and this time he closed his eyes for a full few dozen seconds, until he was sure that there was no change around him, and Xiaowu's voice notifying him that the mission failed did not sound.
The eldest brother then opened his eyes, and saw Lin Jianlu's pair of beautiful and gentle eyes. The first question he asked was: "You didn't tell anyone?"
When he asked this, Yan Han realized that his voice was still shaking.
Lin Jianlu looked at him strangely, "Why should I tell others?"
Yan Han only then realized that if his true gender was leaked to a large extent, he should have failed long ago, instead of waiting for Lin Jianlu to reveal his cards to him. Taking
a deep breath, his heart, which had almost jumped out of his chest, finally settled back to its original place. Yan Han tried to calm himself down, but his nostrils were filled with the smell of Lin Jianlu, and he felt that he would not be able to calm down for a while. If
he couldn't calm down, he simply stopped struggling. Like a drowning man, he opened his mouth and breathed heavily.
At this time, he thought of a question that a normal person would react to first - how did Lin Jianlu find out? !
He thought he was cautious enough, and usually actively used his beauty and his skills of teaching others by example. Sometimes he would talk to Wen Juerong and other girls about facial masks.
He had never exposed himself, and never risked running to the bathroom when he was about to burst. In the past, he tried his best to restrain his previous vulgarity...
He couldn't say that he was very successful in restraining himself, but Yan Han would occasionally observe other female classmates. Whether it was Class 17 or Class 14, there were one or two girls who were more neutral besides him in the class, and there were also those girls who looked sweet but extroverted and hot-tempered, who liked to swear and be called brother. After comparison, Yan Han felt that his behavior was not unusual.
To be honest, sometimes when Yan Han saw the quarrel at the next table, he felt that he was much more quiet than Qin Siyu...
So could it be that the things he tried so hard to cover up have actually been easily exposed to others? !
This is really unfair!
But now is not the time to think about these.
The most important question now is that if Lin Jianlu finds out, does it mean that others have also...
Yan Han's eyes were flooded with fear again. When the bell for class rang, he glared at Lin Jianlu. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a chaotic sound of footsteps in the corridor.
There were footsteps both near and far, and the closest one was just around the corner.
The class monitors of each class had just returned from a meeting, and many classmates were called up to discuss the basketball game. So when the bell rang, the whole building came alive. Students rushed out of the classroom, most of them ran straight to the toilet, and then they saw...
On the wall in front of the stairs, a tall, slender boy leaned his arms against the wall, and a girl in a skirt was trapped in his arm. Their faces were very close, and even from the side, it looked like the boy had just kissed...
"Ahhh!" The first few students who saw the scene screamed in unison, and then shouted: "Wall-dong! Someone is doing wall-dong here!"
The person in question came to his senses with a "Fuck!" and had many questions to ask him. He didn't have time to think too much. Yan Han grabbed Lin Jianlu's arm and dragged him downstairs.
He moved so fast that when the people who heard the shouts and rushed over to join in the fun, they only saw the last flash of a skirt at the corner of the stairs.
…
“It was really a wall-dong, we all saw it!”
“It’s a wall-dong, haven’t you ever seen people fall in love?” The crowd of onlookers who came later thought that these people were making a big fuss. Although the school had a clear ban on premature love, there were many people who fell in love prematurely, and this was not surprising among classmates—if they didn’t fall in love in high school, wouldn’t it be even more difficult to find a partner when they go to college or society in the future.
“But those two people are Yan Han and Lin Jianlu!”
The onlookers: “…”
In the noisy corridor, the air at the corner near the toilet and the staircase was stagnant for a moment.
Class 14 was the class closest to the corner of the corridor, and the first to run over were the students from Yan Han’s class.
They have been together for a while, and they are both big names in the school, so it is impossible for them to mistake each other.
The most important thing is that all the students in Class 14 know that Yan Han asked for leave to go to the restroom first, and then Lin Jianlu followed him out... If it wasn't them, who else could it be!
But the others didn't say anything, and one of the people who first saw the scene was a little uncertain.
"...Is it those two people? Am I seeing things right?"
"Of course I'm not seeing things wrong, I saw the two profiles clearly." The others quickly denied this doubt.
"But doesn't Yan Han have someone she likes outside of school..."
"So Lin Jianlu pinned her against the wall because he didn't want to let her go?"
"But that's not right. That's Lin Jianlu. Can Lin Jianlu be so domineering... No, can a gentleman like him do such a domineering thing? It always feels magical." There were still people who saw it with their own eyes and didn't believe it.
Regardless of whether the people who saw it with their own eyes believed it or not, there were people in the crowd who believed it——
"I told you a long time ago that there was something going on between these two, but you still didn't believe it."
"Ahhh, never mind, I'm going to open a CP forum again on the anonymous forum!"
"..."
While only a shadow of him was seen, Yan Han pulled Lin Jianlu all the way to the first floor, and then ran out of the teaching building. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he walked out of the door and came to the square outside.
The elder brother was still a little out of breath after running all the way, mainly because he was frightened by the constant waves, and his heart rate was a little unstable.
So compared to him, Lin Jianlu's condition was much better, and now he was not red in the face or out of breath... Or maybe it was the advantage of having long legs. At the beginning, Yan Han pulled Lin Jianlu to
run down. Later, they ran down the stairs side by side.
In the end, it almost became Lin Jianlu pulling him to run.
...Of course, these are not the main points.
During the chaotic running just now, the wanton wind blew on his face. Yan Han, who was much more sober, suddenly figured out one thing - from the tone of the conversation just now, it was obvious that Lin Jianlu was not here to test or threaten him.
He just came to confess to himself that he had discovered this secret.
Having known each other for such a long time, Yan Han thought he was pretty good at judging people. He knew that Lin Jianlu had never intended to reveal his secrets.
So after running for his life, Yan Han suddenly laughed, and the eldest brother bent over with laughter. He looked a little heartless, but in fact it was a kind of relief and relief.
He asked Lin Jianlu: "So how did you find out?"
Only when he bent over did he realize that he was still holding Lin Jianlu's arm.
...It shouldn't have exceeded the specified time.
The eldest brother quickly put down his hand without saying a word, and the other party answered his question as if he didn't notice it at all.
Of course, it was the same set of because, paradox, and zero possibility.
Yan Han was stunned.
...He seemed to be lost in the second set of relationships between "because" and "so", and the feeling was exactly the same as when he just started to learn and was in a math class that he couldn't concentrate on at all.
But in summary, Yan Han still roughly understood it. With the previous reasoning, Lin Jianlu thought that he might be a man dressed as a woman after witnessing a man dressed as a woman.
Even if an ordinary person thought of this, he would never have such an idea, and his consciousness would erase this possibility in an instant.
But the reason why Lin Jianlu believed in his guess was because... he also had a system.
No wonder!
Even if ordinary people found his abnormality, they could make inferences like Lin Jianlu, but after all, cognition has limitations. Who can believe that he is a male time traveler who traveled through time and space to a female classmate!
Compared to believing that he is a man dressed as a woman, it seems more reasonable to think that he is eccentric or even eccentric.
But the 100% reasoning result and the fact that he has a system, the two additions, make it impossible for Lin Jianlu to become an absolutely certain thing.
After learning that the other party also has a system, it feels like he has finally found a similar person in the vast and boundless ocean. Yan Han was excited: "So you knew it a long time ago, then why didn't you tell me earlier!"
"At first, I still needed to confirm it, and then... I was afraid of disturbing you, just like now." Lin Jianlu said, facing him with an expressionless face, but his eyes revealed a kind of cautiousness.
Yan Han: "Oh!" He
felt that what the other party said made sense and could be understood.
Lin Jianlu was very grateful to the other party for not mentioning this matter to anyone or making it public, so now he could accept whatever reason the other party gave.
"Then why are you telling me now?" Yan Han scratched his hair, which had become a little messy due to running wildly, and tried to straighten it out.
Lin Jianlu's answer was very straightforward: "Because I want to continue to be friends with you."
He said this, still looking at him intently, he was watching Yan Han's reaction.
In fact, if he just didn't want to disturb him, he could just pretend that he knew nothing.
But he tried. He tried to pretend that he knew nothing. He tried to cover up for the other party without leaving a trace.
But in the end, he was a selfish person.
Just like when he first noticed this person, to this day, he is still inexplicably attracted to certain characteristics of this person. He wants to see him, wants to be his deskmate, wants to... touch him.
Lin Jianlu also admitted that he had become a little abnormal.
He couldn't tell whether it was because he didn't feel disgusted the first time he was touched by him, or because he saw him trying to concentrate and study hard, or because he knew that this person always put on an indifferent face, as if it had nothing to do with him, but every time something happened, he was the first to rush forward...
Before that, he never knew that a person could have so many attractive points, every face was vivid, and it was difficult for people to control their thoughts and not think about this person.
He really tried not to disturb him, and he didn't have to be friends with him, just like many ordinary classmates who had appeared around him.
But the harder he tried, the more he couldn't control it. He began to eagerly want to enter his life, understand everything around him, what he likes to do, who he likes...
People are selfish.
Lin Jianlu is no exception.
He would subconsciously want more.
But the real reason that made him decide to be honest with him and be prepared to block him in a corner even if it would disturb the other party and never have any contact with him again was what the voice in his head said: This person may feel lonely because of holding a secret.
If this person is really like what the voice in his head said, then he doesn't mind letting go of his selfishness, ignoring everything, and walking into his life without considering the consequences.
——Because he really knows the feeling of loneliness.
He can, and he really wants to be friends with him.
...
But from Yan Han's point of view, he doesn't think that Lin Jianlu's behavior is selfish, let alone disturbing.
If it were him, he would probably not be able to resist confessing to the other party after discovering someone with such a system.
It is the instinct of animals to lean on their own kind, there is really nothing to argue about it.
So no matter how nervous Lin Jianlu was, the eldest brother didn't think in that direction at all.
On the contrary, Lin Jianlu's explanation today made Yan Han certain - his previous abnormality was not because he liked him, but because he found out that he was of the same kind!
They can really be good brothers!
"Huh." After completely putting his heart back in his stomach, Yan Han felt very light, both physically and mentally lighter than ever before.
There were no secrets, no love, but the two of them had a common secret, and he could even be himself for a short time in front of this person.
This was simply triple happiness!
For Yan Han, this was enough.
While feeling relaxed, the eldest brother pinched his chin, looking thoughtful.
The two of them had just revealed their cards to each other, and there was too much information to exchange, so much that he couldn't think of what to ask for a while.
Seeing that the class was about to start and time was running out, Yan Han asked what he was most concerned about: "Do you think that besides you, there is anyone else who knows my secret?"
Lin Jianlu: "Hmm?"
"Although I didn't quite understand what you said, but according to your method, it should be at least someone as smart as you to discover my abnormality? And he must have some superpowers, so do you think there is such a person in our school?"
Lin Jianlu was slightly stunned, but still thought carefully for a while, and then said: "Probably not."
"Except for you, I haven't found that anyone else is different."
"Then can you help me keep this secret?" Yan Han asked again.
"Hmm." This time he answered without thinking.
Hearing the satisfactory answer, he patted Lin Jianlu on the shoulder and said solemnly: "Okay, I believe you."
It was cloudy today, and it was about to rain, and the air pressure was a bit low.
The howling wind blew the branches of the green plants covering the campus, but the leaves and shrubs seemed to become more green and more vivid against the background of the gloomy sky.
Looking around, Yan Han, who was in a good mood, suddenly remembered: "Oh, swimming class will start soon, didn't you bring your swimsuit? Go back and get it quickly, I have to change clothes too, see you later!"
He said and ran towards the gymnasium in a hurry.
The strong wind blew up the hem of his skirt hanging on the side of his legs, and Yan Han hurriedly held it down with his hands, and turned around and waved to Lin Jianlu while running, asking him to move faster.
Lin Jianlu looked at him with a messy hairstyle in the wind, moved his lips, and finally faced the wind, mustered up the courage to say: "Where are you going to change, I'll find you."
Yan Han was slightly stunned, only a few seconds, but this period of time seemed as long as half a century to Lin Jianlu.
He didn't know yet that the step he tried to take today would lead to many future steps for the two of them.
And the future ending that he was unexpected and difficult to predict even if he was good at calculation.
At this time, Yan Han knew nothing. After a moment of stunned, he raised two fingers to the other party, as if making a V-sign.
Yan Han said: "On the second floor, I'm in the bathroom last time."
After saying that, this time he really turned around and ran away.
When other students come down, it will be bad if Qin Siyu and some female students he knows pull him to change clothes together!
