The next day, which was the first day of the holiday, Yan Han got on the bus home carrying a huge bag on his back.
As the weather got warmer, the fabrics for clothes in the dressing room became less and less. Yan Han chose and chose before he finally found a few pairs of jeans that were simple and not too exaggerated. He paired them with various T-shirts and put on a baseball cap. He still looked a bit sharp but also looked stunning.
The school bag that the eldest brother carried on his back was also very distinctive.
It was originally a new product launched by a luxury brand at this year’s xx Fashion Show. It was made of linen, had a large space inside, and had a unique shape. However, this decorative bag was now used by Yan Han as a school bag…
It was a whole bag filled with books, so it was so bulging that it looked more like a sack than a bag.
The sight of his brother grunting and carrying the “sack” on his shoulders and getting on the bus was quite unique.
So much so that when he appeared on the bus in this look, many people turned their heads to look at him.
Yan Han found a seat in the last row, put his schoolbag under his feet, simply covered his face with the brim of his hat, ignored other people’s thoughts, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
He studied until two o’clock in the morning last night. There was no need to mention the reactions and scenes of the fans in the live broadcast room when they came back from partying on the first night of the holiday and found that the anchor was still studying!
Yan Han got up early this morning to catch the bus. His extreme lack of sleep made him feel a little uncomfortable when he smelled gasoline after getting in the bus, and he vaguely felt like he was going to get carsick.
But because he was too sleepy, the sleepiness completely outweighed the discomfort once the bus started moving, and Yan Han fell into a deep sleep.
The highways were bound to be congested during holidays, especially the May Day holiday which was one day longer than before, so even though Yan Han caught an early bus, he still arrived at the small county town two hours later than usual.
However, the eldest brother slept quite comfortably this time. He was stuck on the highway. Others were either upset by the traffic jam or were feeling constipated because of the toilet problem. Only Yan Han slept soundly for a whole night. When he woke up and wanted to go to the toilet, he could go directly to the dressing room to solve his physiological needs…
It was the first time in this world that others were frustrated to the point of exploding, while he himself was intact. The eldest brother suddenly felt that the saying “When God wants to confer a great responsibility on a man, he must first make his heart and mind suffer and his muscles work hard” made sense.
His current golden finger was simply amazing!
After arriving at the bus station in the small county town, he could take a taxi home.
After the bus stopped, Yan Han jumped off with a “sack” on his shoulder and took a deep breath of the fresh air in the small county town. It felt fresh, but it was actually not much different from the campus with a very high level of greenery. Moreover, this place was really extremely desolate.
The buildings in the small county town were generally old buildings with five or six stories high. Due to their age, the brick walls on the outside still had a gray color.
There were few people on the streets at three or four o’clock in the afternoon, and there were only a few bus routes – people in the town preferred to ride electric motorcycles when going out.
Fortunately, there were several taxis waiting at the exit of the bus station. As soon as he walked out, people came up to him and asked him where he was going. Yan Han said a few words in a flat voice: “Hu Family Courtyard Hutong.”
“I’ll take ten dollars. Are you going?” a muscular man looked him up and down and asked.
In the original owner’s memory, it would cost about eight or nine yuan to take a taxi from home to the station, but it was difficult to call a taxi at the station entrance, and Yan Han was in a hurry and wanted to get home quickly, so he agreed, “Let’s go.”
Sitting in the back seat of a taxi whose outer shell was covered in mud and dirt and whose interior was not very clean, Yan Han looked through the window at this strange yet not-so-strange small county town. He suddenly felt that everything here was very similar to the place where he lived as a child.
The city he lived in in his original world was bigger than this one. In terms of scale, it should be considered a city-level city, and it also had heavy industry. However, it was located in the north and the economy could not develop. So when he was a child, his impression of the place where he grew up was that it was dilapidated, poor, and polluted.
But it was this place that carried most of Yan Han’s happy memories in this life. At that time, he was young and knew nothing. He only knew to run out, play and have fun every day.
At that time, the old lady was still alive. She would try her best to stop his father from beating him, and she would make him delicious red date soy milk every morning…
“Beautiful lady, are you here to play in our small county? Or to visit relatives?”
His thoughts were interrupted. The car continued to move forward and Yan Han’s thoughts were pulled back by the voice of the chattering man.
….Actually, he wasn’t pulled back by this sentence.
When the buddy in front of him saw that he didn’t respond when he approached him for the first time, he simply called out in confusion, “Big sister?”… The eldest brother was shocked by this sentence.
Looking up and examining her appearance through the rearview mirror, Yan Han couldn’t understand how the other party could tell that she was a girl.
He just didn’t believe that there was anyone in this small county who could recognize that the jeans and T-shirt he was wearing were from a women’s clothing brand!
“It’s rare to see someone as slickly dressed as you are here. Hey, you’re not from here, are you?”
The driver was quite talkative, or maybe it was because Yan Han suddenly raised his head and their eyes met in the rearview mirror, that made this big brother so excited.
Yan Han said ruthlessly: “Just focus on the road when driving, uncle.”
He deliberately lowered his voice, his eyes were made sharper, he then chuckled, and simply leaned back on the back of the chair, put one ankle on the other thigh, and swayed his white sneakers and knees in the car. Yan Han then said in an extremely heroic manner: “Besides, how can you tell that I am a grown woman?”
Driver:”……”
The driver was so frightened that he shook and dared not speak again.
People from small places like him also surfed the Internet and used various video software such as Duyin. In the past, he often saw a group called “transvestite” on the Internet. He didn’t understand it, and he didn’t dare to ask. He just followed to watch the fun. He thought that it didn’t matter whether they were men or women, as long as they looked pretty in the video, it was just for fun.
Unexpectedly, he would actually meet someone who was neither male nor female (not in a derogatory sense) today!
Why does this boy have such a fair and pretty face? Isn’t this just misleading?
The uncle was as quiet as a chicken the rest of the way, but Yan Han’s memories were interrupted by his disturbance. The sadness only lasted for a while, and the elder brother, who was not elegant or literary by nature, had his attention attracted by new things.
That’s right, just now, when he crossed his legs and admitted that he was a man, the sense of relief that came from his soul went from his spine to the tail, as if his soul had been recharged and sublimated. Yan Han finally realized that in this place far away from school and classmates, he could finally let go of himself and be himself!
Even if only for a moment.
He still had to pretend when he got home.
After all, to her grandparents she was a “granddaughter” rather than a “grandson.”
If she was suddenly found to have changed their gender, he guessed the two elders wouldn’t be able to bear it…
“Speaking of which, this thing is a bit cruel.” Yan Han, who had taken over the entire back row, chatted with Xiao Wu: “The two elders probably don’t know that their granddaughter is gone…”
[Of course they don’t know, this is the setting.] Xiao Wu said, and the little girl in a miniskirt appeared next to Yan Han and swung her legs with him, [Even their existence is a setting. It’s all fake, there’s no need for you to worry about it.]
“That’s what I said, but…”
[If you really love them, then don’t disappoint their expectations of ‘Yan Han’, study hard, and make more money.]
“…”
“That’s true, but it’s all a little too real…”
Campus, county town, streets. And his classmates, his friends, his family he would meet soon…
Yan Han said this and shook his head violently, forcing himself not to think about it.
He had only been in this world for a short time, and there were still a lot of things to do in the future. Now was not the time to think about these things.
The eldest brother had always been very ruthless to himself. He said he didn’t want to think about it anymore and whistled out of boredom in the back seat. In an instant, he turned from a thinker into a fat and kind-hearted gangster.
Driver in front: “…”
One moment he noticed the handsome young man shaking his head frantically, and the next moment he saw someone shaking his head and whistling, and the driver suddenly felt a little nervous.
——There are all kinds of people these days, so he couldn’t have pulled someone who was mentally unstable, right?
…He’s good-looking, but it’s a pity.
The driver sighed and stepped on the accelerator to rush out, wanting to finish the order quickly and get rid of the problem as soon as possible.
Hu Family Courtyard Hutong was actually a small alley. Not all the people here had the surname Hu, so he didn’t know how it got this name.
On both sides of the alley were bungalows with courtyards. The courtyards were not big, usually only two or three square meters, so it was not possible to grow vegetables. Therefore, every household chose to grow flowers and grass in the courtyard. Emerald green vines poked out from the top of the wall, and occasionally a few brightly colored flowers could be seen. Some courtyard walls were covered with ivy, which looked green and pleasing to the eye.
Yan Han stopped in front of an old wooden door of a house. For some reason, the wooden door was not locked and was ajar.
After checking the address and scene with his memory and confirming that they were correct, he pushed the door and walked in.
If the house wasn’t so old, it would feel a bit like a townhouse.
Unfortunately not.
The dilapidated old houses, the backward objects and facilities in the yard, the damp and dark corners full of green moss, and the damp and moldy smell that hits the face all made this place look primitive, backward and poor.
He pushed open the door and walked directly into the yard – this was originally “Yan Han’s” home, so there was no need to knock on the door, as knocking on the door would make people feel weird – to be honest, Yan Han was still a little nervous inside.
Unlike the classmates who never paid attention to the original owner before, the elders in the family were the ones who raised “Yan Han” from childhood to adulthood. He wondered if he would be exposed after going in?
He should have found an optical shop in a corner on his way back and bought a pair of glasses frames without any prescription that looked tacky and vulgar to cover it up!
Yan Han still remembered the scene when he looked in the mirror when he first came into this world. He felt that having a pair of glasses like that to cover it would make a lot of difference.
Unfortunately, the decorative glasses in the dressing room were too damn fashionable. He had searched for a long time but couldn’t find any that were associated with “earthy” and “vulgar”. It was too late to prepare now. The eldest brother had to scratch his medium-long hair and walk in with gritted teeth.
But before he pushed open the small old door, he heard a quarrel coming from inside.
A male voice was shouting and cursing inside, with a rude attitude and harsh words. Yan Han couldn’t tell whose voice it was, but from the voices of an elderly couple mixed in, he could tell that the man was arguing with them.
….
No wonder the two elders who had never had the heart to disturb him in his studies actually called him to come back. It turned out that something really happened.
As soon as he realized this and heard the man inside cursing “two old basta**s”, Yan Han could no longer bear it and kicked the door. With a “bang”, the door was kicked open, attracting the attention of an elderly couple and a man in the main room.
Everyone inside was stunned. They all recognized who he was, but they didn’t dare to acknowledge him because of his completely changed appearance and the fact that they obviously didn’t expect him to do such a thing.
At this time, Yan Han grinned, showed the two old people a pure smile, and said: “Grandpa and grandma, I’m back!”
Then he turned his head and said to the man: “Who is this…”
The man’s face immediately fell, and he cursed: “You little bast**d, you don’t even recognize your father?!”

Happy Children’s Day! The author is still six years old this year [Super happy]
I finished my work at the end of the month today. I’m in a very good mood. I plan to continue writing, so I’m posting a two-in-one _(:3∠)_
(Actually, I wanted to give you a surprise so I couldn’t help but post it.
Then the next chapter, which is the normal update on June 1st, will be moved to the afternoon or evening. I plan to code romantically in the middle of the night and go to sleep when I feel sleepy.
