While only a shadow was seen by others, 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 they walked out of the gate and arrived at the square outside.
The big brother was still a little out of breath after running all the way, mainly because he was scared by one crisis after another and his heart rate was a little unstable.
So compared to him, Lin Jianlu’s condition was much better. Now he was not red-faced and out of breath… Or maybe long legs had advantages. At the beginning, Yan Han had been pulling Lin Jianlu to run down.
Later, the two of them ran down the stairs side by side.
In the end, it almost happened that Lin Jianlu seemed to be dragging him away.
…Of course, this was not the point.
Yan Han, who had been running around just now with the wind blowing on his face, had become much more sober and suddenly realized one thing – from the tone of the conversation just now, it was obvious that Lin Jianlu was not here to test him or threaten him.
He just came to confess to himself that he had discovered the secret.
After being together 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 secret from the beginning to the end.
So after running for his life, Yan Han suddenly laughed. The eldest brother laughed so hard that he bent over. He looked a little heartless, but in fact he felt a sense of relief and liberation.
He asked Lin Jianlu: “So how did you find out?”
When he bent down, he realized that he was still holding Lin Jianlu’s arm.
It shouldn’t have exceeded the stipulated time.
The eldest brother quickly put his hand down without making a sound, and the other party answered his question as if he hadn’t noticed at all.
Of course, it was the same old reasoning about because, so, paradox, and zero possibility.
Yan Han was stunned by what he heard.
He seemed to be lost in the second set of becauses and sos, and that feeling was exactly the same as when he first started learning and was in a math class that he couldn’t concentrate on at all.
But after summing up, Yan Han still roughly understood it. With the previous reasoning, Lin Jianlu thought that he might be a man dressed as a woman after he witnessed a man dressed as a woman.
Even if an ordinary person thought of this, they would not have such an idea at all, and their consciousness would erase this possibility in an instant.
But the reason why Lin Jianlu was so confident in his guess was because… he also had a system.
No wonder!
Even if ordinary people noticed his abnormality and could make inferences like Lin Jianlu did but after all, their cognition was limited. Who would believe that he was a male time traveler who traveled through time and became a female classmate!
Rather than believing that he was a man dressed as a woman, it seemed more plausible to think that he was eccentric or even weird.
But with a 100% reasoning result and a system of its own, these two bonuses, it was impossible for things to not become absolutely certain when they reached Lin Jianlu.
After learning that the other party also had a system, it felt like he had finally found a fellow traveller in the vast ocean. Yan Han was excited: “So you knew it a long time ago, then why didn’t you tell me earlier!”
“At first it still needed to be confirmed, and later… I was afraid of disturbing you, just like now.” Lin Jianlu said, facing him with an expressionless face, but his eyes revealed a cautious look.
Yan Han: “Oh!”
He felt that what the other party said made sense and he could understand it.
Yan Han was already very grateful to the other party for not mentioning the matter to anyone or making it public, so he could accept any reason the other party gave.
“Then why are you telling me now?” Yan Han scratched his hair which had become slightly messy due to running wildly, trying to straighten it out.
Lin Jianlu’s answer was straightforward: “Because I want to continue to be friends with you.”
As he said this, he still looked at him intently, watching Yan Han’s reaction.
In fact, if he just wanted to avoid disturbing others, he could just pretend that he knew nothing.
But he tried, tried to pretend that he knew nothing, tried to cover it up for the other party without leaving a trace.
But after all, he was a selfish person.
Just as when he first noticed this person, to this day, he was still inexplicably attracted to certain qualities of this person. He wanted to see him, wanted to sit at the same table with him, wanted to… touch him.
Lin Jianlu also admitted that he had become a little abnormal.
He couldn’t really tell whether it was because he didn’t feel disgusted when he was touched by him for the first time, or because he saw how hard he tried to concentrate and study, or because he knew that this person always put on a cold face and acted as if it had nothing to do with him, but every time there was something, he was the first to rush forward…
Before this, he had never known that a person could have so many attractive qualities. Every expression was vivid, making it difficult for him to control his thoughts and not think about this person.
He really tried not to bother him, nor to become friends, like many ordinary classmates who once appeared around him.
But the harder he tried, the more he couldn’t control himself. He began to desperately want to get into his life, to understand everything around him, what he liked to do, who he liked…
People were selfish.
Lin Jianlu was no exception.
He would also subconsciously want more.
But what really made him decide to be honest with him and be prepared to corner him even if it would disturb him and make him never have any contact with him again was what the voice in his head said: This person may feel lonely because of carrying a secret.
If this person was really like what the voice in his head said, then he didn’t mind letting go of his selfishness and ignoring everything and walking into his life without regard for the consequences.
——Because he really understood the feeling of loneliness too well.
He could, and really wanted to be friends with him.
….
However, from Yan Han’s point of view, he would not think that Lin Jianlu’s behavior was selfish, nor was it a disturbance.
If it were him, he would probably not be able to resist confessing to the other person if he found out about the person who had such a system.
It was the instinct of animals to stay close to their own kind, there was really nothing to argue about it.
So no matter how nervous Lin Jianlu was, the eldest brother never thought in that direction at all.
On the contrary, Lin Jianlu’s explanation today made Yan Han certain – his previous abnormal behavior was not because he liked him, but because he discovered that he was of the same kind as him!
They could really become 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 likes, but the two people still had a common secret, and he could even be himself for a short time in front of this person.
This was simply a triple blessing!
This was enough for Yan Han.
While relaxing, the eldest brother pinched his chin and looked thoughtful.
The two of them had just revealed their cards to each other, and there was so much information to exchange that he couldn’t think of what to ask for a moment.
Seeing that class was about to start and time was running out, Yan Han asked what he was most concerned about: “Do you think anyone else knows my secret besides you?”
Lin Jianlu: “Hmm?”
“Although I didn’t quite understand what you said, but according to your method, someone would have to be as smart as you to discover my abnormality, right? And he must have some superpowers, so do you think there are other such people in our school?”
Lin Jianlu was slightly startled, but still thought carefully for a while before saying, “Probably not.”
“I haven’t noticed anyone else who’s different except you.”
“Then can you help me keep this secret?” Yan Han asked again.
“Yeah.” This time he answered without thinking.
After 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, so the air pressure was a bit low.
The howling wind caused the branches of the green plants covering the campus to tremble, but against the backdrop of the gloomy sky, the colors of the leaves and shrubs seemed to become even greener and more vivid.
Looking around, Yan Han, who was in a good mood, suddenly remembered: “Oh, swimming class will start soon, did you forget to bring your swimsuit? Go back and get it quickly, I also have to change clothes, see you later!”
As he said this, he ran towards the gymnasium in a hurry.
The strong wind blew up the hem of his skirt, and Yan Han hurriedly held it down with his hands. While running, he turned around and waved at Lin Jianlu, asking him to hurry up.
Lin Jianlu looked at him with messy hair 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 stunned for a moment, just for a few seconds, but to Lin Jianlu, this period of time seemed as long as half a century.
He didn’t know yet that the step he tried to take today would lead to many steps in the future for the two of them.
And the future outcome that he could not have anticipated and that was difficult to predict even if he was very good at calculations.
At this moment, Yan Han knew nothing. After a moment of hesitation, he casually raised two fingers to the other party, as if making a V-sign.
Yan Han said, “On the second floor, I’ll be in the same restroom as last time.”
After saying that, this time he really turned around and ran away.
When other students rushed down later, it would be terrible if Qin Siyu and some familiar female classmates pulled him to change clothes together!
The author has something to say:
Babies, continue to be happy on 521!
I have been struggling for a long time on the question of how Brother Yan would get exposed. My initial plan was for Big Brother Lin to deliberately set up a trap to let Brother Yan know that he was exposed.
This is mainly to insert a few interesting gags and continue the spoof-style hilarious route. I didn’t consider telling directly at the beginning because it seems boring and uncool, and it makes the plot seem bland, which is inconsistent with the exaggeration and excessive high profile that has always been there.
But why did I delete tens of thousands of words of the manuscript in the end and let Big Brother Lin choose to tell it directly? To be honest, I thought about the plot for a long time but couldn’t figure out how to end it. I always felt that it would be weird no matter what.
Because I want Brother Yan to enjoy the purest love at the most youthful and unrestrained age. The two of them should communicate in time when there are problems, and they should united in facing the outside world, without suspicion or misunderstanding.
This is the original intention of writing this article besides being hilarious and funny.
So I began to reimagine what Lin Jianlu would do if the time really came to confess. In the end, I felt that even though he had countless ways to achieve his goal, he still chose the dumbest, most straightforward, and most honest way, which was very Lin Jianlu and really cool.
Uh, I said so much because I feel bad for the waste (shut up, no)… Actually I want to say that the yards have been lost, how far can third base be? [dog head saves life]
(Because the dialogue is too long, I will post it tomorrow. [Continue to post]
