Su Jingyan lay on the bed in a daze, looking at Lu Yichen’s unreadable face, and softly called again, without fear, “Yichen?”
His voice was full of love.
Hearing the voice that tugged at his heart, Lu Yichen gritted his teeth and suppressed the turbulent emotions rising within him. He buried his face in the crook of Su Jingyan’s neck and took a deep breath to calm himself.
Lu Yichen didn’t speak. He held Su Jingyan tightly, his breathing heavy, as if fighting something like a beast within him.
Su Jingyan still looked lost, but his eyes were full of trust in Lu Yichen.
Because in Su Jingyan’s heart, he never thought Lu Yichen would wrong him, so he trusted Lu Yichen wholeheartedly.
The two looked at each other.
Su Jingyan’s face was flushed, visible only in the faint glow of the moonlight in the otherwise dark room.
Even though the surroundings were very dark, Su Jingyan’s eyes were still strangely bright, and the way he looked at Lu Yichen was as pure as before.
It was quiet all around, so quiet one could have heard a pin drop.
But the room was slowly filled with the sound of soft breathing and the heavy thudding of their hearts.
Lu Yichen’s rationality, which had been on the verge of collapse, was gradually regained. He braced his hands on either side of Su Jingyan’s head, and at last those red eyes slowly grew calm.
“Yichen.” Su Jingyan called again, weakly.
Lu Yichen bent down and kissed Su Jingyan’s tear mole, even more gently than before.
In the next second, Su Jingyan felt a burst of icy coolness at the corner of his eye.
After a little while.
“Senior.” Lu Yichen drew back, moved his lips, and fixed his dark eyes on Su Jingyan’s face.
Su Jingyan’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he opened his mouth slightly.
“You have to remember: even in death, I won’t let you leave me.” Lu Yichen spoke very slowly, biting down hard on every word as if venting some emotion. He coated his words in morbidity and fiery obsession and openly revealed his true thoughts.
With one hand he brushed back the damp strands of hair on Su Jingyan’s forehead. His movements were as gentle as ever, but paired with such a statement, they gave an inexplicable sense of horror.
Su Jingyan was shaken by what Lu Yichen said, not out of fear, but because of an indescribable feeling in his heart.
He felt as though he had heard these words before, as if they had known each other long, long ago.
It even made him want to cry.
Lu Yichen was like a prisoner awaiting judgment. His eyes were fierce enough to stop people in their tracks, but at this very moment, one sentence from Su Jingyan could easily decide his life or death.
Finally, Su Jingyan reached up and hooked his hands around Lu Yichen’s neck. With his eyes tinged with a bit of coyness and dissatisfaction, he muttered softly, “There’s no such thing as death. We have to live well together.”
Lu Yichen finally chuckled, releasing all the tension in his body as he relaxed against his senior.
Senior…
You’ve already fallen into the devil’s territory…
“Then can I stay with you tonight?” The boy’s lips curved aggressively, like a wolf that would never be satisfied, showing sharp fangs.
Su Jingyan blinked his shiny doe eyes and stared at Lu Yichen. He watched Lu Yichen’s Adam’s apple bob, swallowed himself, and, as if in a trance, nodded.
The boy sighed silently in his heart.
You have no chance to regret it!
Ah.
Song Keyin walked into the classroom, massaging her temples from time to time.
She didn’t know what was going on. She had gone to bed fine last night, but when she woke up, she felt as if she had forgotten something very important.
Otherwise, though, she felt pretty good.
As soon as Chu Yanyan saw her come in, she grabbed her arm at once, a bit of unconcealed anger on her face.
Song Keyin thought it was a little strange. She looked around and found that, except for Chu Yanyan, every student in the class wore a look of discontent, so she asked, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Chu Yanyan, completely ignoring that they were at school, took her phone out of her pocket and indignantly opened the school forum. She pointed to the top post and said, “Look!”
Song Keyin took the phone doubtfully, but her eyelids twitched as soon as she saw the title.
“Earth-shattering news! Su Jingyan was almost stabbed yesterday afternoon! The truth is…”
The title was so dramatic that it made people want to sneer, and it didn’t seem like a real thing at all.
But when Song Keyin read the whole post, the expression on her face froze.
Little by little, the story came out. The post roughly laid out the truth of how Su Jingyan had almost been brutally murdered after school yesterday.
As for Lin Yiming, the villain, there was a great deal of condemnation and hatred under the post, and all kinds of ugly slander.
Lin Yiming…
That name is so familiar…
Song Keyin rubbed her forehead hard. When she saw the name Lin Yiming, she inexplicably felt a throbbing pain, and her heart was a little frightened.
She looked at Chu Yanyan and asked, “Who is Lin Yiming?”
Chu Yanyan sneered. “I heard he’s the captain of our school’s basketball team.”
Song Keyin nodded thoughtfully, but her heart was still tense. She was very worried about Su Jingyan, so she secretly took out her phone, immediately tapped Senior Jingyan’s contact, and sent a message.
[Senior Jingyan, I heard that something happened to you yesterday. Were you hurt?]
She sat anxiously in her seat, peeking at the screen every two or three minutes to see whether he had replied.
But she didn’t know that none of her messages would be received.
Because the senior had blocked her.
As soon as Su Jingyan entered the classroom, he received condolences from classmates on all sides. Before he could even sit down, the head teacher, Ms. Cao, called him into her office to find out what had happened.
She even delicately conveyed the school’s suggestion that he stay home for a few more days and adjust his state of mind before returning to class.
Indeed, he had almost been stabbed to death only a short while ago, which would be traumatic for anyone, so it was no wonder the school allowed it.
Although Su Jingyan hadn’t been affected too much, it would be a lie to say there was no damage.
He came out of the office awkwardly, ready to pack up his things and go home.
But then it suddenly occurred to him that if he had to go home to rest because of the incident, then Lu Yichen, who had also been involved, should definitely go home too.
At this thought, the unease and fear in his heart were suppressed once more, and his face lit up with joy.
After packing the review materials he planned to study at home for the next few days, Su Jingyan carried his schoolbag and happily headed for the freshman building.
He remembered Lu Yichen telling him that his classroom was Class 4 of the first year.
As soon as Su Jingyan stepped into the freshman building, he was treated like a rare animal.
Row after row of delighted eyes looked at him. From time to time, groups of two or three girls gathered to gossip and peek at him at the same time.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Senior Su Jingyan actually came to the freshman building!
It’s so exciting!
Su Jingyan looked at the commotion around him and smiled awkwardly. Fortunately, Class 4 was on the first floor, so he didn’t have to climb the stairs, and he arrived quickly.
As soon as Su Jingyan stopped at the door of Class 4, the students sitting inside almost screamed until they passed out.
Su Jingyan glanced through the window and didn’t see Lu Yichen. He thought it a bit odd, so he stuck his head in and asked the girl nearest the door.
“Junior, may I ask, is Lu Yichen from your class here?”
The girl stared at Su Jingyan’s face like a fool, her mind blank, and didn’t understand his question at all.
Su Jingyan patiently asked again, “Excuse me, is Lu Yichen from your class here?”
The girl finally came to her senses, heard Su Jingyan’s question clearly, and said apologetically, “There’s no one named Lu Yichen in our class.”
Su Jingyan’s eyes widened, and he asked uneasily, “How is that possible?”
Everyone else in the classroom was quietly watching Su Jingyan with bated breath and had heard his questions clearly. The class chimed in, “We really don’t have anyone by that name.”
“Yes, yes, there’s no one with the surname Lu.”
Su Jingyan’s mind froze, and he slowly trudged back the way he had come in a stupor. His heart was pounding, his whole body seemed numb, and the noise around him seemed muffled.
Did I remember it wrong?
But I clearly remember Yichen telling me his class, and it was Class 4 of the first year. There’s no way I heard it wrong!
Su Jingyan swallowed, collected his thoughts, and, his mind now firm, walked toward the school parking lot. He even started to jog, and then sprint, toward the exit.
It was remarkable for someone with such poor athletic ability.
Panting, he ran into the parking lot. As soon as he entered, his steps slowed instinctively.
As always, the boy he liked was standing beside the bicycle, looking at him quietly, waiting to pick him up…
