He didn’t know how to explain to Lin Jianlu how he influenced Wu Jian, because to be honest, Yan Han himself didn’t understand why the boy was suddenly moved to tears by him.
But Yan Han still said firmly: “He was wrong to hit someone first. I didn’t forgive him without permission, nor did I mean to betray the organization. Who knows why he suddenly wants to cling to me! Let me make it clear that we were innocent before this.”
“…”
Facing Lin Jianlu’s increasingly deep gaze, Yan Han had no choice but to raise three fingers to swear, and then said: “…I swear, I am innocent.”
Seeing that Lin Jianlu’s expression didn’t improve, Yan Han scratched his head, not knowing why he looked so serious, and could only tell him everything: “Tsk, I didn’t skip class on purpose. I came here to stop him mainly to ask him why he was targeting me.”
“Yeah.” Lin Jianlu’s voice was emotionless. “And then?”
“Then he said… Hey, are you familiar with a girl named Gong Yuxue in the liberal arts class?”
He originally didn’t want to ask Lin Jianlu this kind of question, because whether what Wu Jian said was true or not still needed to be verified, and Yan Han didn’t want to misunderstand and wrongly accuse a good person.
But if he didn’t mention Gong Yuxue, he didn’t know how to explain the conversation he had just had with Wu Jian. Besides, Lin Jianlu had been in the same class with her, so asking him might be a good choice if he wanted to confirm the situation.
Only……
Lin Jianlu’s facial expression finally changed. He frowned and suddenly thought of something. He then asked, “Are you saying this matter has something to do with her?”
“…”
See, this was what he was afraid of.
Yan Han said hurriedly: “I just heard it, it’s not certain whether it’s true or not, so I wanted to ask if you are familiar with her.”
“Um.”
But Lin Jianlu nodded and said, “I understand.”
Yan Han: “Hmm?”
“No, what do you know? Don’t be impulsive.”
Shocked by this irrelevant conversation, Yan Han felt that Lin Jianlu, who was walking forward with big strides, might rush to Class 1 to confront someone in the next second. So in a hurry, he grabbed the corner of Big Brother Lin’s clothes.
Lin Jianlu lowered his head and saw the hand holding the corner of his clothes. His steps thus slowed down. He seemed to be amused by him. The corners of his lips were slightly raised. He then asked him, “What do you think I will do?”
“I don’t know…” Yan Han was a little bit embarrassed and took his hoof off the corner of the other person’s clothes dryly. The eldest brother was a little embarrassed: “It’s just what you did just now, um, I always feel murderous intent.”
“…”
Lin Jianlu said: “The Gong family and my family are old friends, but other than that, there is nothing else between us.”
Yan Han: “Oh?”
Although he didn’t know why he told him this all of a sudden, Yan Han was still curious: “That’s impossible. You are old friends, and you are the same age and class. According to the plot in the TV series, shouldn’t you two be childhood sweethearts?”
Lin Jianlu: “…”
Taking a deep breath, Lin Jianlu said, “When I was a kid, I had serious mysophobia and couldn’t interact with outsiders, so I’m really not familiar with them.”
“Ohhhh.”
“Although I’m not familiar with her, if it is her, it’s not impossible for her to do such a thing.”
“Ah?” Yan Han stared.
In fact, based on Yan Han’s experience in judging people, what Wu Jian said to him today should be true.
He didn’t want to direct his hatred towards that person Xue because he didn’t want to trust other people’s one-sided words or his own feelings.
But if Lin Jianlu also said so, then it might be almost true.
However, Yan Han didn’t ask the reason, and Lin Jianlu didn’t say it either.
As long as they made things clear, neither of them was the kind of person who liked to gossip.
“Leave this matter to me,” Lin Jianlu said, “I will give you an explanation, including who called the police in the first place.”
“Okay.” Yan Han said.
When it came to investigating things, Lin Jianlu was indeed much more professional and skilled than him.
Only……
“Will this cause you any trouble?”
He didn’t understand the affairs of the upper class, but if Gong Yuxue was really powerful and the two families were aristocratic families, he wondered if Lin Jianlu would get into trouble if he intervened?
It wasn’t a big deal, he just wanted to have an idea in his mind. He believed that if the other party continued to find fault, he would eventually get the upper hand.
Besides, Big Brother Lin was usually very busy. In addition to school matters, he also had system tasks to complete…
“Oh, right, I suddenly remembered that Wu Jian said Gong Yuxue has been bullying the school students for a long time. Is your mission to help people being bullied by her?”
“I don’t think there is one. I have to look for it,” said Lin Jianlu.
“Um!”
According to what Lin Jianlu said before, the generation of thoughts required the right time, right place and right people. The probability of this coming together was actually almost the same as randomness. There was no pattern to follow, and it was possible that it would never occur.
Moreover, a thought may be just a short sound, a sudden idea, and perhaps its owner did not even know that he had generated such a thought.
So it took time to sift through them.
Nodding, Yan Han suddenly thought of something, and bumped Lin Jianlu’s shoulder like a good brother: “I have another question, do you know that Gong Yuxue likes you?”
This was exactly the way two brothers talked about girls and feelings. It was normal for adolescent boys to talk about how they liked other people, at least according to Yan Han’s experience.
But Lin Jianlu suddenly looked at him again, frowned this time, and then his facial expression returned to calmness and he said, “I don’t know.”
Yan Han, who was lost in thought, did not notice the other party’s abnormality: “Then will those thoughts contain such content as who likes you?”
“I don’t know.” Lin Jianlu said, “I blocked all words related to ‘like’.”
Yan Han: “…”
This thing can be blocked?!
“It can be blocked.” Lin Jianlu explained. First of all, being able to see other people’s thoughts did not mean that you had to pry into other people’s privacy. Not prying into other people’s privacy was Lin Jianlu’s professional requirement for himself. He had also formulated a series of restrictive clauses for this purpose. Blocking keywords was only a small item among them. The content of the restrictive clauses could take up more than 30 pages of A4 printing paper. The purpose was to avoid various things in life that infringed on the rights and interests of others as much as possible.
Yan Han: “…You also wrote binding terms for yourself?!”
“Secondly.” Lin Jianlu did not answer him but said: “Who likes who is obviously not within my scope of business, I am not a matchmaker.”
The implication was that he didn’t need to know.
Having said that, though…
“Aren’t you curious? Aren’t you curious about who likes you?” Yan Han asked.
Lin Jianlu replied: “I have never been curious.”
If he really wanted to know something, he could collect evidence, observe, and reason, and verify it using normal methods, instead of using this “golden finger”.
The more power a person had, the more he needed to control his desires.
He didn’t know if it was because of his strict family education since childhood, but Lin Jianlu had adhered to this truth since he got this system.
“That’s right.” Yan Han said approvingly, “If you used the system function to look around every day, I would have been exposed long ago.”
Although this horse fell off very quickly.
There was really no place to seek justice.
The two of them talked in low voices as they walked back to the third floor.
Lin Jianlu would occasionally turn his head to look at Yan Han, but he just pursed his thin lips and said nothing more.
When they were about to reach the classroom door, he lowered his voice and said, “The third point.”
“…And there is a third point?”
“Yes.” Lin Jianlu took a deep breath, as if he had been thinking for a long time before turning to look at him. He raised the corners of his lips slightly and said, “Third, there are too many people who like me. If I don’t block them, I will be annoyed to death every day.”
Yan Han: “…”
Meeting Lin Jianlu’s smiling eyes, Yan Han suddenly realized that Lin Jianlu was joking with him.
As they were both campus idols, it was possible that someone as arrogant as Wei Ningxin would say this, but Lin Jianlu had always been extremely humble and reserved. If he said this, he was just teasing him!
His beautiful eyes widened…so Big Brother Lin actually became a bad boy!
Who is it! Who did this? He is so capable that he has corrupted Lin Jianlu!
As they stepped into the classroom, the bell rang.
Because it was a self-study class, there was no teacher in the class. So when the bell rang, Yan Han saw Wen Juerong twisting his fat body to either flirt with the student on the right or try to pull the student in front of him to talk, and the monitor who was originally in charge of discipline seemed to suddenly become lively, and the other students who were jumping up and down and were still excited because their class won the basketball game…
Yan Han suddenly felt that it could be anyone.
