After arriving at the cafeteria, in order to let him have a big meal, Lin Jianlu took Yan Han to the third floor.
Because there was a private room on the third floor, no one knew what they did in there.
… Of course, they couldn’t do anything else, just eat heartily.
At this time, Yan Han had nothing to be picky about. For him, as long as he could fill his stomach, it would be fine.
After ordering the food, Lin Jianlu first placed him in the private room and then went to buy him a cup of milk tea.
It was still the original milk tea with red dates, but this time the sugar content became normal. Lin Jianlu said: “Sugar will be quickly decomposed in the body, which can quickly replenish energy for the brain. Let’s try it.”
Yan Han was not only trembling with hunger but also had black spots in front of his eyes. He didn’t care whether it was sweet or not. He took two big sips from the cup and then sat for a while. He felt that although the hunger was still there, he was no longer dizzy.
Blinking his eyes, Yan Han felt that this change was quite magical. He looked at Lin Jianlu and suddenly remembered that they had come to the cafeteria once before. At that time, he was injured because of something, and Lin Jianlu also brought him a cup of milk tea.
At that time, they were not familiar with each other. Suddenly someone bought him milk tea. Big brother was a little confused, but he was also very weak at that time, so he didn’t think much about it. Now he thought that milk tea was probably used to prolong his life by Big Brother Lin.
I didn’t consume energy like this before, so I didn’t know. Yan Han only noticed this detail now.
Lin Jianlu didn’t eat snacks. The only characteristic was that he occasionally ordered milk tea and always invited them to have a cup… It turned out that it was because he needed to replenish energy.
But Yan Han still had a question about this: “But I see that your appetite is normal… It’s the normal appetite of a boy in the growth period, and I haven’t seen you eat any snacks. How do you replenish energy when you don’t drink milk tea, Big Brother Lin?”
“Actually, it’s okay. I usually don’t think about problems on purpose.” Lin Jianlu answered honestly.
“…”
“The last time I collapsed, I spent a day to deduce Kepler’s conjecture.”
“???”
“Kepler’s conjecture is…”
Well, the translation meant that Big Brother Lin’s IQ didn’t really require him to think too much.
Yan Han nodded, stopped struggling, and decisively said that he understood.
At this time, the food they ordered was served. It happened that Lin Jianlu hadn’t had dinner either, so the two of them ate in the private room together.
While eating and chatting, Yan Han naturally told him about the skills he had just acquired.
Big Brother Lin was not only the only one who knew that he had a system, but also, rarely, he was also the one who could understand the skill of deep focus.
That’s right, Lin Jianlu could also achieve a similar effect with the skill of deep focus, but he managed his own brain and subjectively manipulated his thoughts to focus on one point… That was to say, he could freely control his brain and choose what to think about or not.
——Lin Jianlu’s brain was like a multi-functional computer that could be controlled by himself.
In addition, the difference from ordinary people was that it had a large storage capacity, and its normal running speed was very fast. The upper limit was also very high. It could run at a high speed on the basis of normal conditions, but it was usually unnecessary, so it would not consume too much so-called energy.
With this analogy, Yan Han felt that his deep focus skill was really awesome.
Although the system could not directly give him a super high IQ, it at least allowed him to simulate the thinking state of a high IQ person.
Of course, having this skill was one thing, and whether to use it was another.
After having a new skill, in order to upgrade quickly, Yan Han chose to enter the state of deep focus immediately after each CD.
It happened that the time period was during the evening self-study, and no one would come to disturb him, so he could study efficiently.
The only problem was that every time he entered the state and came out, Yan Han would experience hardship and hunger.
The hardship was okay, not as strong as when he tried it for the first time, but there was just a kind of overwhelming fatigue.
But as he used the skill for a longer time, not only did he exercise his brain power and energy, but also made his brain more developed, and the feeling of hardship faded.
Even during the day, he was more energetic than before, as if he had more and more energy and was more and more energetic.
But the problem of hunger could not be alleviated, and it would never be alleviated.
After all, he didn’t want to waste CD, so every time he entered the state, he would seize the time to study with all his strength. The higher the efficiency, the more brain power he consumed, and the hungrier he would be.
Even if he replenished energy immediately after exiting the state, it still took time to absorb. That feeling of hunger was unavoidable no matter what, unless he ate a pound of rice every night, but that was impossible, as he had to pay attention to his image.
It was equivalent to making the metabolism of a person who was already thin and could not eat enough become several times faster than before… It was no exaggeration to say that Yan Han would shudder every time he thought of that feeling of hunger for a long time afterwards.
Sometimes he felt aggrieved when he thought about it. In a world with highly developed material culture, he still had to endure hunger… How could he justify this. But it was a happy thing to have a good deskmate. From the second day on, Lin Jianlu would prepare some small gifts for him every day after dinner.
Most of the time it was milk tea, because when he was in a state of withdrawal, the class was usually not over yet, and no matter what class he was in, he could not eat during the class.
Drinking was no problem.
Since he needed to replenish sugar immediately and could only drink, milk tea was really the only choice.
In addition to milk tea, sometimes Big Brother Lin would buy him some candies and chocolates, and put them in front of him naturally, or directly stuff them into his desk, and Yan Han gladly accepted these.
… In return, in order to repay Big Brother Lin’s kindness, he would usually take time out to treat him to a meal on weekends.
Lin Jianlu was not in school on weekends, so Yan Han would go out of school to find him.
This tradition began during the May Day holiday. As for how the habit was formed later, Yan Han could not explain it clearly. Anyway, by the time he realized it, it seemed that he had met with Big Brother Lin alone on weekends for several weeks in a row.
The specific process was a later story, so we won’t talk about it for now.
Seeing their brother Big Brother Lin bought milk tea and chocolates for their brother Yan every night was already surprising enough for Wen Juerong and the others. What was even more surprising… no, it should be said that what was even more shocking was that no matter what brother Big Brother Lin gave them, their brother Yan, who was stubborn and unyielding, actually accepted it all??
And it was hard to say when it started… it seemed that after returning from the May Day holiday, their brother Yan not only drank milk tea sweetly, but also opened the chocolates sent by Big Brother Lin and threw them into his mouth… why did it feel like they were completely surrounded by pink bubbles?!
So what was going on with the two of them?!
“Could it be that they got together when we didn’t know about it?” Seeing Brother Yan and Brother Lin “closely” discussing a physics problem, Wen Juerong, Fang Yufei and others all crossed their arms and tilted their heads to discuss.
“But it doesn’t seem like it… I see that the way Brother Yan looks at Brother Lin has not changed much compared to before, but Brother Lin’s expression has changed a little more… But the interaction between the two has always been about the problem…”
“You don’t understand this, the academic masters are like this. What else can we do? Brother Yan is busy studying all day and has no time to care about us, let alone date Brother Lin alone.”
“…But I still feel something is wrong. When you are in love, even if you don’t kiss or hug, you should at least hold hands from time to time, right? But I think they never seem to have that?”
Not only did the class speculate constantly, but even those in other classes who admired either Yan Han or Lin Jianlu couldn’t sit still. Some people were asking questions in various ways on anonymous forums in the hope that an insider could answer their questions, while others used all kinds of connections to find people from Class 14 and asked, “What’s going on with the school beauty and the academic bully in your class?”
As the social flower on the third floor, Wen Juerong had to be blocked every time he left the class recently. He was dragged into a small dark room to inquire about the two people’s situation, which made him feel so wronged that he wouldn’t dare to run out if he didn’t really have to go to the toilet!
But the toilet obviously couldn’t save him. Sometimes he couldn’t even go to the toilet when he was caught to inquire about the situation!
In the end, the social flower, who had always been gentle and good-tempered, was forced to go crazy and turned into a queen flower who exploded at the slightest touch.
If someone came to ask him about something again, he would always reply with “I don’t know” or “I’m not sure”. If someone asked again, he would give an official answer like “Dear, we suggest you ask the parties directly”.
Yan Han didn’t know that his consumption of milk tea and chocolate caused a bloody storm, and he didn’t know that Wen Juerong had been driven crazy during this period. Yan Han only found that he was a little irritable occasionally, but he thought it was because the weather was hot and people were easily bored.
… Or maybe it was just his uncle[1] had come.
It was not that Wen Juerong didn’t come to ask him on behalf of the masses, but he was often asked this question in the past. Yan Han knew that there was a CP building between him and Lin Jianlu on the forum. When asked this kind of question, he always regarded it as someone teasing him and Big Brother Lin and never took it to heart.
Even in the past, when he was in a good mood, he would joke with Wen Juerong and others, so his attitude in answering this question recently was as frivolous as possible, and his attitude was so vague that even his classmates who were already familiar with him couldn’t figure it out.
——Although their Brother Yan is quite reliable when studying and playing basketball, he always talks a lot and is careless. You can only believe what he says!
It was more reliable to ask Big Brother Lin for this kind of question.
But Wen Juerong was an old member of the Yan Gang. He was used to playing and fighting with Yan Han. He knew that Brother Yan had a bad temper, but he would never get angry with his friends, so he was never afraid of him.
But in front of Big Brother Lin, who was a role model and would not hit or scold people, Wen Juerong dared not to be naughty with him or joke in front of him.
He couldn’t say why. After all, Big Brother Lin was usually nice to them and his attitude was approachable. He was not as fierce as their Brother Yan.
But he just didn’t dare to ask!
Subconsciously, he felt that Brother Lin was not the kind of person who would gossip and discuss these things with them!
But later, he was forced to do nothing, and he was just too curious. Wen Juerong still asked Lin Jianlu about it when someone next to him brought up the topic on the way to the toilet.
Lin Jianlu’s answer was very serious. At that time, he was walking straight forward with his long legs. When he was asked the question, he lowered his eyes slightly and said calmly: “Nothing.”
Wen Juerong was distressed: “…So it’s all a misunderstanding?”
It’s okay to joke around, but if it’s really not the case, Wen Juerong won’t force a CP.
Although as a CP fan, he still hoped that Brother Yan could be with Brother Big Brother Lin, but if it was not, then it was not. Heartache was one thing, and going out to help clarify was another.
From then on, when someone asked him about the relationship between the two, his answer would always become Lin Jianlu’s original words: “Nothing.”
It was also because of this answer that a stone stirred up a thousand waves. From the next day, when Yan Han went to class early in the morning, he saw a delicately wrapped pink envelope on Lin Jianlu’s desk.
Then after a while, he went out to lead the break and came back and found a small envelope on his desk.
