In a men's restroom in Longteng Internet Cafe, a teenager in a black T-shirt and a duckbill cap was sitting in a room. Smoke was lingering around his left hand, and he was leisurely fiddling with his cell phone with his right hand. His fingers were slender, with distinct joints, and the corners of his lips curled up from time to time.
He was tall, thin, and looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old. At first glance, he looked like a bad boy.
But suddenly, the interest in the boy's eyes slowly turned into confusion. He even dropped the cigarette between his left index and middle fingers on the ground because he didn't hold it firmly, and his fingers were burned and left a slightly red patch.
Lin Xu subconsciously looked at his hands, and there was a patch of ash on his fingers. He habitually put away his cell phone, frowned, and washed his hands, and inadvertently saw the figure in the mirror. His body paused, and he suddenly realized that something unscientific seemed to have happened to him.
The boy in the mirror looked no different from when he was young, with youthfulness in his eyes and eyebrows, but Lin Xu knew that this was not him.
When he was young, he would not wear ripped jeans and hide in the toilet to smoke.
Lin Xu had been staying in an ivory tower all his life. After completing his studies, he stayed in a research institute, doing scientific research that he was interested in day after day. In real life, he died suddenly due to overwork.
Lin Xu was not sure who he had become now. Only some fragments emerged in his mind from time to time, perhaps the memories of his original body, which were a bit trivial.
But Lin Xu roughly realized that the original body was a senior high school student, and it seemed... still in the rebellious period. He didn't quite understand the scenes in his memory.
Just as he was thinking, another person walked in from the door. He looked the same as the original body, a young boy.
As expected, he was familiar.
"Brother Lin, you are so addicted to smoking? Smoke less, be careful that your grandparents will smell it when you go home." The other party wrinkled his nose to fan the smell, and then grabbed Lin Xu.
"The brothers said they were a little hungry, let's go out to find something to eat?" Mao Jun pulled Lin Xu out.
Although Lin Xu was not used to being touched by others and was a little stiff, he still followed.
Walking out, Lin Xu realized that this was actually an Internet cafe. He had never been to an Internet cafe before, and he felt strange looking at the group of Internet-addicted teenagers not far away.
These were all friends that the original owner knew. When they saw them coming, they grabbed their coats and stood up in twos and threes, and were about to walk out in a noisy manner.
"We've been waiting for you for a long time." They complained.
Lin Xu glanced at them, said sorry in a low voice, and lowered his head to naturally pick up his shoulder bag and put it on his back.
Everyone thought he was weird today, but they didn't think much about it. They just discussed whether to go for barbecue or hot pot. Lin Xu didn't listen much, and he was a little dazed when he just came in.
His thoughts were interrupted by a white and soft hand. The girl with delicate makeup who landed at the end of the group put her hand on his shoulder and said ambiguously: "Although your smoking posture is very attractive, but... I really don't like the smell."
The original owner learned this activity from them, but what the girl said was biased. In fact, Lin Xu only had a faint smell of tobacco, which was not unpleasant.
The main reason was that although the girl mixed with them, she liked the type of academic tyrants who were out of her reach.
After seeing it so many times, he knew that for boys of their age, smoking, fighting and skipping classes were decadent behaviors that could be done without any effort. The only special thing about Lin Xu was that he looked better. To
be honest, due to his personality, Lin Xu had never been in love in his life. Lin Xu has a little social phobia, which is related to his habit of being alone all year round. He is not very good at communicating with others.
He has never had a secret crush, so he has never taken the initiative. But in fact, he has been pursued, but he was still in school at that time and the timing was not right, so he politely declined. Later,
he was busy with research and did not have many opportunities to fall in love. After that, it seemed that no girls approached him.
In general, Lin Xu felt that he might not be a popular partner in terms of love. He has friends who have rich emotional experience and are very popular with the opposite sex, which is completely different from him.
He moved his shoulders uncomfortably, thinking that his scent would affect the girls, so he kept a distance from Yang Zixuan. The original owner seemed to be interested in the girl and always took the initiative.
But Lin Xu neither likes nor wants to fall in love too early, and he doesn't want to cause trouble to girls.
The shell contains a soul in his twenties, but Lin Xu still thinks it is better to follow the rules of high school students. He is very familiar with how to be a good student.
Passing the place where the network administrator registers, Lin Xu follows at the end, while the network administrator chats casually with these boys.
"I heard that some of you are classmates in the Affiliated High School?" The tone sounded incredible. He knew all these boys well. Most of them were from the vocational high school next door and were old customers.
What kind of school is the Affiliated High School of Jiangda? It is the first of the four famous schools in their Jiangcheng. It feels like they have nothing to do with each other.
The boy chuckled: "Lin Xu, come here." As he said that, his eyes swept to Lin Xu, who was walking at the end, and pulled him over.
With a bit of pride, the boy pointed at him and said, "My buddy is from the affiliated middle school, and he's in the international class."
At this time in the past, when the original owner was pushed out to save face, he would show more irritability and anger, and was very resistant. He even never wore school uniforms when going out to play because he felt ashamed.
Because the original owner was a complete scumbag in the international class, a slacker in the teachers' mouths, and a target of persuasion. Moreover, compared with the wealthy family backgrounds of other classmates in the international class, the original owner's family background was very ordinary, only considered well-off, and the original owner's parents took a lot of effort to get him in.
This may be the reason why the original owner slowly degenerated under such an extreme split.
Lin Xu's eyebrows were indifferent, and he just nodded, as if he was used to it.
Lin Xu's family background is not bad. He has been studying in the best schools in the capital all his life, whether it is high school or university. After studying abroad, he chose to return to China for research. The only thing that has not changed is that his social phobia has always been strong.
Now he only feels that being stared at by everyone makes him uncomfortable, but he doesn't know that he appears to be a little distant and cold outside.
"Oh, that's great, it combines work and rest!"
The network administrator didn't know whether the affiliated high school had an international class. He had some doubts in his heart, but he still said flattering words.
Jiangcheng has a strong learning atmosphere. Every year, the college entrance examination is very difficult. No matter what their cultural level is, the old and the children know that studying is the best.
Maybe because he thought Lin Xu was too pretentious, the boy couldn't help but sneer, but he didn't say much for Lin Xu's sake.
They have been playing with Lin Xu for more than half a year, so they naturally know what kind of person he is. He is an expert at being lazy and slacking off. He is a pile of mud just like them, and is not at all the academic master of the attached high school as everyone has the traditional impression of.
After leaving the Internet cafe, the people around him teased Lin Xu, "Come on, big nerd, what do you want to eat?"
"Are you treating us today? The nerd has been very generous lately~"
Lin Xu remembered that the original owner had been spending money lavishly recently, as if he had gained some unexpected fortune, but he had spent all of it on food, drink and entertainment in just a few days.
He felt that something important flashed through his mind, but he didn't catch it for a while.
However, Lin Xu looked at his watch and took off his hat, revealing his handsome appearance. To be honest, he looks like the male protagonist of a nerd in a youth drama, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, pure eyes, fair skin, and outstanding appearance. In a word, he looks very pure.
He put the hat into his backpack and took out the school uniform from the backpack. Today is a workday, and the lunch break is almost over. Of course, he has to go back to school to attend classes. He even feels that the hair behind his ears is a little long.
When he was in high school, his hair was incredibly short.
"Sorry, I have to go back to school. I have classes in the afternoon."
Lin Xu, wearing a blue and white school uniform, seemed to be separated from the other boys in two worlds. Apart from anything else, the school uniform was enough to make people look up to him in the eyes of outsiders, as if it was emitting a cool and cool aura like moonlight.
In fact, some of them were a little jealous of Lin Xu's ability to go to a prestigious school.
But when they thought that Lin Xu was also uneducated, they felt relieved. They were the same kind of people, so they could play together.
Seeing Lin Xu like this, Yang Zixuan's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but glanced at him and exclaimed: "Lin Xu, you look really good in your school uniform, just like my idol." Lin
Xu looked a bit like a young boy in the entertainment industry, who became famous for acting in a youth drama, but that young boy had some zr marks on his face. In fact, judging from his appearance, Lin Xu's face is even much better, but his temperament is definitely not comparable.
That young boy is famous for being the most similar to the male lead in youth dramas.
"Tsk, superficial, there is no difference in essence." Someone complained in a low voice.
Because of Lin Xu's refusal, everyone looked unhappy and asked, "Why did you suddenly want to go to class today? Didn't you always skip classes before?"
They also realized that Lin Xu was incredibly quiet today. He finally said something, but it was a spoiler.
Mao Jun was heartless and felt that the atmosphere was not right. He tried to smooth things over and said, "Then forget it today. I just happen to have something to do. I will go with Brother Lin."
He was the only one who called Lin Xu Brother Lin because he was a few months younger than Lin Xu. The other boys were not so open-hearted to Lin Xu. They called him by his first name regardless of whether he was older than him.
In the end, it was jealousy.
"If they don't want to go, forget it. Let's go." Everyone left unhappily and said in a gloomy manner.
Yang Zixuan suddenly felt that it was meaningless to play with everyone, so she went home.
Mao Jun looked at Yang Zixuan's back stupidly for a few seconds before he followed Lin Xu again.
"Brother Lin, do you really want to go back to class?" he asked.
Lin Xu still felt a little intimate with him, as he was one of the few sincere friends of the original owner.
"Well, you should go back to class too." Lin Xu advised him sincerely.
Learning to enjoy yourself at a young age is not a good habit.
Mao Jun nodded his head when he thought about studying, as he was more interested in other things: "Brother Lin, aren't you single? Do you still like Yang Zixuan?"
His ears turned red when he said this, because he seemed to have fallen in love with her recently.
Lin Xu was stunned, his eyes blank. What is being single? Is there something he didn't remember?
"Why, have you forgotten? It's an online romance." Brother Lin seemed to have only said this to him.
Something flashed through his mind again.
Although the original owner was an annoying bad boy in real life, he was a popular person on the Internet.
In a certain gay dating group he belonged to, the original owner was the most popular No. 1, a mature, handsome, gentle and coaxing bachelor, especially famous for his sweet talk. All the No. 0s loved to chat with him.
So even though the original owner was as flirtatious as a butterfly, people kept paying for him.
The backgrounds of his photos were all some luxurious villas. According to him, his family was in the real estate industry, a family business.
If real estate sales counted, the original owner's parents did sell houses in the capital, and the original owner had a brother who followed in his father's footsteps and went into sales.
The original owner was a left-behind child in his hometown of Jiangcheng.
The background pictures are all houses they sold, which are authentic. The original owner's figure was photoshopped, and the photo-shopping artist was not very skilled, so he was photoshopped to look ugly, but he did meet the requirement of looking more mature. He looked much older, and he looked at least 25 years old.
Of course, those pictures are enough. After all, there are not many high-quality men in the circle. Anyone who looks half as good as the original owner can walk around.
In summary, the original owner is an out-and-out childish gigolo, whose purpose is to catch rich men, and the ultimate goal is to make pocket money...
The gay circle is small, and there are no 1s and no one to rely on, so it is easy to manipulate. The original owner, a straight man, can also be turned into a number one.
I don't know what the group members will think if they know Lin Xu's true identity. Anyway, Lin Xu is now cracked, his eyebrows are wrinkled so much that they can pinch flies to death, and he is panicking.
He didn't expect that he would come with a partner when he traveled through time, and it was a man.
He couldn't even figure out heterosexuality, but now he has become gay.
When it comes to love, Lin Xu is definitely failing. Forget sweet talk, the most common chat sentences he uses are "yeah" and "okay". He would always say "ashamed" in front of the original owner, a high school student.
Compared to the original owner, Lin Xu is indeed more like a high school student.
