Chapter 45
The surroundings were already in a state of commotion, with gasps and exclamations coming from all directions. Expressions were constantly changing, and there was an unmistakable sense of astonishment in people’s eyes.
Leaving aside who this new man is, the real question is how he managed to find someone in the academic building under such special circumstances.
And on top of that, the fact that he actually came for the school’s grass, Su Jingyan, this was already a whole school’s level of melon eating.
Could it be that he is another new suitor for the school’s favorite?
The expressions of the crowd were a little subtle and became very excited, their eyes kept hovering between the man and Su Jingyan, curious looks plastered on their faces, full of excitement.
The campus heartthrob has proved himself by defeating his romantic rival!!
Su Jingyan’s eyelashes fluttered, his mouth opened slightly, blinking frantically. His entire person seemed to be in a trance, visibly moving his dry throat, swallowing hard.
Lu Yichen stood at the doorway with a commanding presence. Even if he simply stood there without any extra movements or expressions, he could capture everyone’s attention and was impossible to ignore.
“…”
“…”
Su Jingyan and Lu Yichen looked at each other across the classroom, calmly locking eyes. The latter stared at the other with an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a laugh.
At this moment Su Jingyan’s heart was simply unable to calm down, the whole person was struck by lightning, with a complex and indescribable emotion boiling inside him.
It could be said that in this instant, everyone in the classroom was waiting for Su Jingyan’s reaction alone, to see what he would do and what his response would be.
Su Jingyan felt uncomfortable from the gazes of the crowd, and after a pause, he finally came back to his senses.
He swallowed hard, and suddenly jolted up from his seat. His face turned bright red, and he began to hurriedly stuff the books and pens from his desk into his bag.
Su Jingyan’s actions didn’t resemble his usual demeanor of indifference and detachment, his calm and composed self. Instead, he appeared flustered.
Just this reaction alone left the people around him stunned and incredulous.
After shoving everything into his bag and getting his things in order, Su Jingyan finally mustered the courage to walk toward the door amidst the silent and awkward gazes of the people around him, maintaining his politeness.
Throughout the whole process, the entire classroom was horribly quiet, everyone didn’t even dare to breathe a little bit, the only thing that was left was the rustling sound that Su Jingyin made when he was organizing his things and the sound of his footsteps as he walked over.
“…”
Shit! We’re going to get a big melon today!
Honestly! Su Jingyan’s expressions and actions are just too conspicuous.
If Su Jingyan had acted the way he usually does at this moment, with his usual indifference, ignoring the situation, and not displaying any emotions, even if he stood up and walked over to talk to the man, without any emotional fluctuations, the onlookers wouldn’t think twice.
But the issue was, the current Su Jingyan…
His neck, the tips of his ears, his entire body was burning up, and his face was so red it looked like it might start bleeding. Both his expression and demeanor showed a state of nervousness and embarrassment.
It really left these onlookers with little room for doubt…
Well, this is something!
The classroom was filled with the sound of hearts breaking.
Heartbreak! It was a heartbreak!
Everyone in the classroom, almost instinctively, cast naked yet ambiguous glances back and forth between Su Jingyan and the man.
The looks directed at Su Jingyan mostly carried a sense of loss, as if someone had just snatched away their carefully cultivated cabbage. As for the glances toward the man, they were filled with the kind of resentment you’d see when someone’s prized cabbage had been stolen by a pig.
Not convinced! They were not convinced!
After Su Jingyan stood up, he kept his head lowered the whole time, not daring to meet the eyes of his classmates sitting in the classroom.
With his understanding of this group of people, he could almost imagine their expressions – a mixture of slight disappointment, brimming with astonishment and disbelief.

The man narrowed his eyes in silence, curled his lips slightly, as if issuing a warning and asserting his dominance, his gaze carrying an unspoken chill.
Zhao Hongyang’s already pale face became even paler in that instant.
Zhao Hongyang had an expression of fear and unease as he sat in his seat, trembling visibly. It was evident that he was frightened, and his teeth were chattering in fear, emitting a trembling sound.
Several people around him couldn’t help but cast astonished glances in his direction after hearing the sounds he made.
Zhao Hongyang bowed his head extremely low, feeling a dread so intense that he wished he could find a hole to bury himself in.
When he felt the man’s gaze on him, he experienced a suffocating sensation as if he were entwined with a venomous snake!
This was a fear he couldn’t put into words.
At that moment, he felt an inexplicable chill running through his body, as if his bones were emitting coldness, and he couldn’t control his trembling.
Su Jingyan, with his head down and a slight trot, hurriedly made his way to the classroom door.
As soon as he lifted his head, his gaze immediately met the man’s slightly teasing eyes.
Su Jingyan’s expression froze, as if he had been teased. His face completely lost control once again and turned bright red, making it impossible for the bystanders nearby to ignore.
“Hiss—-”
The people in the classroom involuntarily gasped in shock.
Then there was a chorus of “Ohhh—” as they started to cheer.
Su Jingyan, upon hearing the reaction in the classroom, became extremely flustered. He didn’t dare to speak and instead raised his head with a hint of embarrassment, glaring at Lu Yichen for a moment, before walking past the man and swiftly leaving the room.
“…”
So adorable.
Lu Yichen looked at Su Jingyan’s little expression, and his heart felt a bit soft. The curve of his lips couldn’t help but slightly rise.
He glanced at the suffocating crowd, wearing the expression of a victor, and straightened his back.
As he followed Su Jingyan’s steps, he thoughtfully turned around and closed the door that was left open.
The moment the door was completely closed, the whole classroom fell into a what the fuck kind of atmosphere, and even louder shouts and discussions than when the accident happened were heard.
“…”
Shit! It’s a provocation! Definitely a provocation!
“Oh my god! Did Su Jingyan just blush?”
“We’re done, we’re done. Su Jingyan looks even better with a red face. Damn it, I’m heartbroken!”
“Damn, if I had known Su Jingyan liked guys, I would’ve made a move!”
“…”
In any case, the classroom was filled with wailing and lamenting voices, and some had already taken out their phones to share this new gossip. It probably wouldn’t be long before everyone in the school knew that their campus heartthrob had found a partner.
Even though at this moment, Su Jingyan technically hadn’t officially started dating yet…
Su Jingyan walked out of the classroom, feeling extremely embarrassed. He still kept his head down and didn’t dare to look at the man’s face.
Embarrassing! That was way too embarrassing just now!
Su Jingyan really wished he could run into a wall and end it all.
Lu Yichen, looking at his little expression, had a smile in his eyes that was about to overflow.
On the other hand, if Su Jingyan wasn’t so nervous at this moment, still immersed in the embarrassment from earlier, he would have noticed that from the moment they walked out, the teachers patrolling the corridor were completely in a state of obliviousness towards them…
This state was different from knowingly ignoring someone. It was as if these patrolling teachers genuinely couldn’t see the two of them walking down the hallway.
Their gazes seemed slightly vacant, and even when there was only a few centimeters of distance between them and the patrolling teachers, none of them reached out to stop them.
This left Su Jingyan, who had prepared a whole set of explanations ready and had several times considered stopping and trying to forcefully explain, with no opportunity to use his prepared words.
Walking beside the man, Su Jingyan followed in Lu Yichen’s footsteps, purposefully heading downstairs.
However, both of them remained silent the entire way, even though they had descended several floors. Not a word was spoken.
Awkward…
Nothing but awkward…
Why don’t you say something!
Su Jingyan was almost screaming in his own mind, wishing he could shake the man’s shoulders with both hands to make him initiate the conversation.
Finally, Su Jingyan, feeling somewhat helpless and suffocated, took a deep breath and reluctantly broke the eerie silence with a quiet question, “Why did you suddenly come to find me today?”
Lu Yichen’s expression remained unchanged, his gaze that had been fixed on the path ahead slowly turned towards Su Jingyan. His steps also came to a sudden halt, as if he had deliberately waited for Su Jingyan to initiate the conversation, carrying a hint of teasing in his demeanor.
Su Jingyan saw his motions, and froze for a moment, stopping as well, continuing to look at him with an innocent expression, appearing quite silly and adorable.
At this moment, the two of them stood still at the staircase landing, facing each other with just a few centimeters between them.
Fortunately, no one suddenly appeared at this moment to make the situation even more awkward.
Lu Yichen licked his dry lips, the curve of his mouth lifting even more, and without further ado, he took a step closer in Su Jingyan’s direction.
Su Jingyan blinked rapidly, trying to process all the seductive actions he just witnessed. He swallowed hard to conceal his inner turmoil.
Very well! He was been charmed again!
Seduction, He was lured once more.
Lu Yichen was already taller than Su Jingyan, and with that one step closer, he immediately gave off the impression of looking down on him.
This made Su Jingyan feel as though he was being suffocated by the man’s aura, making him inexplicably appear somewhat petite in comparison.
“Pick you up for dinner.” Five words, clear and simple, in a deep voice that seemed to lack any emotional fluctuations.
However, for some reason, these words sounded somewhat ambiguous coming from Lu Yichen’s mouth.
“???” Su Jingyan looked baffled, and the question marks were practically written on his face.
How could he not understand those five words? But when Lu Yichen said them, he seemed to have trouble comprehending them?
After a while, his brain finally processed it, and he regained his composure, continuing with a perplexed expression, “Then how did you know which classroom I was in? There are many police officers downstairs, right? How did you get up here?”
The man, who had been staring intently at Su Jingyan, slowly withdrew his gaze when asked how he got here. He maintained a calm expression, moved his neck slightly, and then calmly replied, “You told me yourself last night.”
Upon hearing this, Su Jingyan softly responded with a hesitant “Hmm?” His breath caught, and his mind went blank once more.
I told him?
Su Jingyan’s eyelashes trembled as he began to search his memory.
Why didn’t he remember this…
Wait a minute, it seemed to be coming back to him.
Yesterday, while having dinner, he inexplicably fell asleep and woke up startled from a dream. Then, Lu Yichen had been comforting him by chatting.
Later on later on, as the two of them chatted, he logically stayed at Lu Yichen’s house for another night.
But this time, instead of sleeping on the sofa, he shared the same bed with Lu Yichen and slept on the same bed for the whole night.
The only thing worth celebrating was that there hadn’t been an awkward incident like the previous morning. Plus, this time they had more time, and Su Jingyan even managed to go back to his own home to take a shower…
He also had a vague memory of Lu Yichen talking to him about something while he was half-asleep after he had fallen asleep. However, he was so tired at the time that he had buried his head under the blanket, half-consciously nodding and making vague responses.
Which led to his current state of not knowing at all what questions Liu Yichen had asked him or what responses he had given.
So, Lu Yichen was inviting him to dinner back then?
Su Jingyan’s shame intensified, and he silently tightened his grip on his backpack. He then tilted his head down slightly, his blush not diminishing one bit, instead becoming redder.
—This was not the first time he wished he could dig a hole and hide in it.
He always felt that ever since he met Lu Yichen, he had been constantly embarrassing himself in front of him. It was strange because in front of others, no matter what he did, he could remain composed, unruffled, and as cool as ice. But as soon as he saw Lu Yichen, all of that fell apart, and he couldn’t control his affection for him.
Was this what they called having a crush?
After Su Jingyan struggled to digest the facts, he raised his head pitifully.
“Then, where are we going to eat?”
Su Jingyan blinked, smoothly being led off by the man, he completely forgot that he had asked another question, and actually followed the man’s words into a different conversation.
Lu Yichen’s eyes flashed.
Well, as easy to be tricked as ever.
Lovely as always.
A barely noticeable touch of morbidity and obsession flashed in the man’s eyes. His voice was hoarse, and he answered without hesitation, “To your place.”
Huh?
Su Jingyan’s eyes instantly widened and his heart tightened.
What?
Lu Yichen, as if seeing through Su Jingyan’s eyes, which showed no concealment of shock and confusion, continued to deceive with an unchanged expression, “You said that yourself last night.”
“…”
“…”
Is he for real?
Aside from being speechless, Su Jingyan also felt somewhat incredulous. Could he really have issued an invitation to the man while half asleep and nearly unconscious?
In an instant, Su Jingyan began to doubt the words the man had just spoken.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want Lu Yichen to go and sit at his house, after all, he had been staying at someone’s house for two days, even though it was only a few steps away.
It just that…
Su Jingyan took a deep breath, and certain images instantly surfaced inside his mind.
The problem is…
Because today’s class time was too rushed, and he hurriedly took a shower, causing him to have no time to clean up the mess, and the dirty underwear he changed out of are still lying on the living room couch at this moment …
and…
The color of the panty that day was purple, flirty as hell ……
“…”
No way!
So is it too late for him to regret?
It was unclear whether the man had actually realized his distress, but Su Jingyan was so desperate that he couldn’t muster even half a word.
Beside him, Lu Yichen stood watching his expression, and the curve of his lips turned slightly upward, as if he knew everything about the little thoughts in his heart.
But Su Jingyan was currently in the depths of despair, wishing he could be reborn.
He was done for!
Lu Yichen was seeing his lifeless expression, reached out and gently ran his hand over Su Jingyan’s head. The touch was not too heavy, but it made Su Jingyan shiver, and his brain once again felt like it was breaking apart due to this unexpected gesture.
“Let’s go, Yanyan.”
After saying this, the man’s smile became very pronounced, completely contrasting with his usual indifferent expression.
This sudden change in demeanor left Su Jingyan bewildered. It immediately disoriented him, making him unable to distinguish his bearings. He was now completely led by the nose by the man.
The man paused, his voice husky and tinged with unmistakable indulgence. He ran his fingers through Su Jingyan’s hair once more and continued, “What would you like to eat? Let’s go buy groceries first.”
Su Jingyan opened his mouth, his cheeks still adorned with a faint blush. His body trembled slightly, and he gazed into Lu Yichen’s eyes, feeling a sensation he couldn’t quite describe.
The words “Yanyan” echoed in his heart, leaving him standing there dumbfounded. His heart raced, and it felt as if there had been someone, once upon a time, who had called him by that name.
This was a kind of tremor, similar to a shiver deep within his soul.
I’m screaming, this is so cute QAQ
