This attracted quite a few classmates.
Many had heard he was playing cards near the small supermarket and came over to join the fun.
Winter was cold, and going for a walk outside wasn’t very practical; it was much more fun to gather around eating instant noodles and drinking soda, all cozy and cozy.
And quite a few students from Class 10, who had heard that their class’s school beauty was playing cards, also came specifically to see.
This semester, their impression of Yan Han had changed from “a stunningly beautiful and mysterious school beauty” to “a studious genius who’s always buried in his studies.” Now, suddenly seeing this genius sitting cross-legged in a chair, completely unconcerned about her image, laughing and chatting while playing cards, they couldn’t help but feel a bit like they’d traveled back in time.
The students from Class 14, who overheard their discussion, couldn’t help but retort to the students from Class 10, “Who said Yan-ge isn’t lively? Have you never seen Yan-ge play basketball, or never seen Yan-ge fight someone?”
As they spoke, they couldn’t help but adopt a smug expression that said, “You don’t understand anything, but we do.”
The students from Class 10 were speechless.
They had heard the rumors about the school beauty when the classes were first divided, but they couldn’t blame them for forgetting now. All they had seen for the past semester was the school beauty buried in her studies. Not only could they not connect her with what she had done before, but even just imagining the scene was… unbelievable!
Facing the smug and slightly disdainful gazes of the students from Class 14, the students from Class 10 were indignant.
“What’s so great about her? The school beauty tutors us all day long!”
“Exactly! We’ve been staying up all night with her every day during final exams. She’s definitely explained more problems to us than you guys!”
There wasn’t really anything to compare, but the strange thing was that the students from Class 14 spoke so casually, making the school beauty’s current classmate very uncomfortable.
So the retaliation began, and a war gradually broke out about who knew the school beauty better and who was closest to her.
Yan Han was helpless about this verbal battle that had inexplicably started. He wanted to say that no matter what, he was still him, and he had never changed… but judging from the situation, both sides were just joking around. At this moment, the card game was more important, and he couldn’t afford to be distracted.
The dormitory lights went out at 10 pm, but no teachers would come to check the rooms, and the small supermarket wouldn’t close, so everyone simply ignored the rule. They didn’t care if it was past the time and still treated the small supermarket as their activity room.
If it weren’t for the early morning training the next day, they wouldn’t have wanted to disband at all.
Later, it was the class monitor and a few others who had more serious matters to discuss that suggested they call it a day and continue having fun tomorrow. By then, it was already 11:30. Time always flew when playing games.
As the other classmates gradually dispersed, Yan Han glanced at his phone; Lin Jianlu hadn’t messaged him yet.
He casually strolled out of the small supermarket and found Lin Jianlu’s tall figure standing not far from the door…
Yan Han quickly ran over, taking three steps at a time. If it weren’t for the fact that there were still people around, he really wanted to jump on Lin Jianlu!
“Lin Jianlu, how long have you been standing here? Why didn’t you come in?” Yan Han asked.
The corridor was windy, far less warm than inside the small supermarket. Thinking that Lin Jianlu probably didn’t want to disturb him since he was having so much fun inside, he felt a little sorry for him.
Yan Han couldn’t help but say, “If you had gone in earlier and called me, you wouldn’t have been standing here waiting.”
Lin Jianlu gently raised the corners of his lips and smiled at him, “It’s okay, I just got back not long ago. I didn’t want to disturb you since you were having so much fun inside.”
“Oh right, you don’t seem to like playing cards,” Yan Han suddenly realized, “Then I’ll be careful next time, I definitely won’t play until so late.”
“It’s really okay.” Lin Jianlu’s eyes softened, and after most of the people around had dispersed, he gently took Yan Han’s hand in a corner where no one could see him and said, “Come with me.”
Before Yan Han came out, Wen Juerong and the others had gathered around when they saw Lin Jianlu standing at the door, and exchanged a few words with their big brother Lin.
However, seeing Yan Han come out, they all tacitly dispersed, and no one dared to watch anymore. Now, there were really hardly any people left in the corridor.
Pushing open the glass door of the dormitory, Yan Han was led by Lin Jianlu into the cool evening breeze.
They rarely showed affection in public, and at school, they were always impeccably proper. Now, openly holding hands down outside their dormitories, Yan Han felt a strange tension, like he was about to taste forbidden fruit.
Damn it, he’d seen it all before, and yet he’d been caught off guard, feeling nervous about something like this!
But the truth was, he genuinely found it exciting, his heart pounding.
It wasn’t the fear of being seen by someone peering through a window, but the fact that he and Lin Jianlu were openly holding hands right under everyone’s noses…
Just the thought of them holding hands made Yan Han inexplicably excited, his blood boiling. He couldn’t explain why, it was just so thrilling.
He circled around to the back of the dormitory building, a place he’d already observed. The back of the building faced a high wall, beyond which lay a forest.
The wall was so high that he’d only ever seen a glimpse of it from the dormitory.
They were now standing in front of the wall. Lin Jianlu asked him, “Can you climb over here?”
“…Do you even need to ask?” Yan Han replied, his eyes widening as he stared at Lin Jianlu, shocked that his older brother Lin was asking him to climb over the wall.
“Okay, then climb over. We’ll meet outside the wall,” Lin Jianlu said seriously.
He didn’t seem to be joking at all.
“…”
So Yan Han could only open his mouth in an “O” shape, then walked to the base of the wall and leaped over it, easily landing on top.
He jumped down again, landing smoothly without making a sound.
Outside the wall, Lin Jianlu stood quietly waiting for him.
After unlocking the second level of the “Light as a Swallow” divine skill, Yan Han was indeed more awesome than before.
Before, he needed explosive power and arm strength to climb over a wall, but now he could do it with a light jump.
But no matter how easy it was, it wasn’t as fast as Lin Jianlu’s teleportation ability. To experience that feeling, he would have to wait until he unlocked the final level of “Flying and Escaped.”
Yan Han ran over again, this time alone. He simply threw himself into Lin Jianlu’s arms, giving him a thumbs-up, “Pretty fast! Brother Lin, you’re still the best!”
Lin Jianlu caught him, laughing again, saying, “I’d like to climb over walls like you, but I can’t, I’m not as agile as you.”
Yan Han was amused, but dared not laugh out loud, only suppressing his laughter with a chuckle, “Likewise, I admit it.”
“Let’s go.” Lin Jianlu took his hand again, this time putting both hands directly into his own coat pockets.
“Where to hang out?”
Yan Han had just asked when, after taking a few quick steps, he realized they were in a small grove of trees.
….
It was late at night, two lone men, in a small grove…
Thinking that his birthday was coming up, and that he would officially be an adult according to his ID card in this world, could Brother Lin be planning to…?
The previously surging blood was now boiling, Yan Han felt like he was on fire!
But after walking a couple more steps and turning a corner, there was a large truck parked quietly.
The vehicle was entirely black and resembled a bus, but the metallic sheen reflected in the moonlight told you it was no ordinary bus. Plus, the windows looked artistic and high-class…
“So this is… a motorhome?!”
“Yeah, you’ll have to make do in it for the next couple of days.”
