Perhaps because the two of them kept feeding off each other’s appetites, or because Lu Yichen had prepared too much food, Su Jingyan ate so much that he completely lost track of time.
When he looked at the electronic clock hanging on the wall and realized it was getting late, his eyes widened, and he almost choked.
It was now about half an hour past the time he usually left for school, and, even more frightening, he was still in his pajamas, not even wearing socks!
Damn! I’m so dead.
Finally, as if suddenly enlightened by a flash of inspiration, Su Jingyan turned urgently toward Lu Yichen. With a half-smile, he asked, embarrassed yet expectant, “Do you know how to ride a bicycle?”
There was another big reason why Su Jingyan liked to walk to and from school. He had never told anyone about it because he found it really embarrassing.
He simply couldn’t learn how to ride a bicycle.
He had once thought about learning so that he could sleep in later, but his sense of balance was really bad and his limbs were very uncoordinated. As soon as he sat on a bike and lifted his feet off the ground, he would fall heavily to the ground. There was no counting how many marks on his body had been caused by this.
He had tried to learn for almost two full months and still couldn’t get it, so he gave up completely on the idea. Instead, he earnestly got up early and walked to school.
The bicycle he had bought for a huge sum of money was left untouched in the yard and never used again.
Lu Yichen looked at Su Jingyan’s shining doe eyes, and the sick thoughts in his heart began to burst out again. His own eyes sank immediately.
Right! That’s right!
Just look at me like that! Only look at me!
This is how I want it!
Su Jingyan stared at Lu Yichen for a long time, waiting for an answer. When he finally saw the boy nod slightly, he nearly jumped up in excitement.
From then on, the impression of Lu Yichen in his heart might well have been that of an almighty machine, capable of everything.
“Then I’m going to change clothes. Wait for me!”
After he finished speaking, Su Jingyan bounced back to his room, leaving Lu Yichen standing alone in the same spot.
The boy’s gloomy eyes flickered as his gaze shifted from Su Jingyan’s retreating back to the unfinished desserts on the table.
He picked up the piece of sweet potato pancake that Su Jingyan had bitten only halfway through.
Lu Yichen stared at the tooth marks on the pancake for a while, then smiled obsessively.
Aiming at the part with the tooth marks, he bit into it without hesitation.
He narrowed his eyes, squinting contentedly.
He chortled.
The sweet potato pancake that my senior had eaten…
Su Jingyan changed his clothes quickly and rushed out with his school bag on his shoulder, shouting, “Yichen, let’s go!”
The boy froze in that spot, head lowered, without speaking. At first glance, he seemed very gloomy, but on closer look, his body was actually twitching uncontrollably.
It wasn’t from fear, nor from physical attacks. It was caused entirely by excitement!
Both of his eyes were almost popping out with excitement, and his neck was also twitching uncontrollably, making the bones crack.
Senior…
Called me Yichen…
I’m so happy.
However, Lu Yichen quickly composed himself. He slowly raised his head, maintaining his usual expressionless face, and replied, “Mn.”
Su Jingyan was completely unaware of Lu Yichen’s bout of strangeness just now, and there was still a slight excitement in his expression.
Before Su Jingyan went out, he looked over at the clean table and couldn’t help thinking…
Didn’t I have an unfinished sweet potato pancake?
Or did I remember wrong?
But he quickly dismissed the matter and didn’t take it to heart in the slightest. He just assumed Lu Yichen had dealt with it.
Lu Yichen sat on the front seat of the bicycle and held the handlebars. He was still wearing the uniform that had previously been Su Jingyan’s. It fit Su Jingyan just right, but on Lu Yichen it was quite short, which made it look rather inappropriate.
When Su Jingyan had seen it last night, he had only felt that the clothes were a bit short on Lu Yichen, so he had planned to check in the morning whether it was still acceptable. Now he was surprised to find that the trousers were stretched tight against Lu Yichen’s backside, to the point that he could even see the outline.
Su Jingyan’s expression became slightly strained.
Is Lu Yichen’s crotch really that big?
As if realizing he was thinking such indecent things, his thin-skinned face immediately flushed.
Lu Yichen noticed his gaze and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Su Jingyan sat sideways on the back seat of the bicycle, somewhat cautiously and awkwardly.
The bicycle had no footrests for the person sitting behind the seat.
Su Jingyan thought about it for a while, his face flushing even more. Then he cautiously stretched out his hands and wrapped his arms around Lu Yichen’s waist, trying to steady himself and sit more comfortably.
Lu Yichen’s body stiffened for a moment, and then he seriously stepped on the pedal and started off, as if he didn’t care at all.
Su Jingyan had no idea that such a simple action had brought the person in front of him so much inner shock and turmoil.
Perhaps because of his own preoccupations, Su Jingyan completely overlooked it. Obviously, he could have just held on to the edge of the seat for support.
Lu Yichen’s bangs were blown back by the wind, revealing a sickly, frenzied face with black swirls in his eyes, and then a smile tore across his face.
Remember!
Once you hold on, you can’t let go!
Otherwise, I will kill you!
My senior…
Tsk.
Lu Yichen’s bicycle skills were very steady. Compared with Su Jingyan’s technique of riding in circles and then falling to the ground, they were simply superb.
Sitting on the back seat, Su Jingyan didn’t know what was going on in his own mind, but he would show a shy smile from time to time, just like a boy who had fallen in love.
As they approached the gate of Jiyuan High School, all the people they passed on the road were Jiyuan High School students.
When they saw clearly who was on the bicycle, they couldn’t help but widen their eyes, their mouths falling open.
**!
Incredible!
How dare someone touch our school pet!
Lu Yichen, who was riding the bicycle, kept receiving incredulous stares from all around.
He felt the person behind him stiffen a little, and the hands on his waist loosened accordingly.
Lu Yichen’s eyes changed, filled with hatred.
Senior, didn’t you say you wouldn’t regret it?
Su Jingyan was terrified by everyone’s eyes on him. His body went limp, and his hands let go of Lu Yichen’s waist, but soon afterward he hugged him even tighter and buried his head against the other’s back in embarrassment, as if Lu Yichen were the only thing he could rely on.
The only thing he can rely on…
Thinking of this, Lu Yichen couldn’t help smiling, and even his gloomy expression faded.
Senior…
Is so obedient!
Sure enough, I love Senior the most in this world.
Tsk.
“Ahhh, I’m dead! Keyin, Senior Jingyan came to school today sitting on the back seat of a boy’s bicycle with his arms around his waist!”
It was Song Keyin’s best friend, Chu Yanyan, yelling madly. When she saw Song Keyin walk in, she rushed up to complain.
The two of them could simply weep together over their lost love.
“What did you say?” Song Keyin’s eyes widened. The bags under her eyes were as dark as bruises, and her face was terribly pale. She looked like one of the walking dead.
Chu Yanyan may have been so intoxicated by the pain of losing her love that she didn’t realize Song Keyin’s mental state was very wrong.
She even explained patiently, “Just now, Senior Su Jingyan, who normally walks to school, sat on the back seat of someone else’s bicycle. It’s estimated that one-third of the whole school saw it. It’s crazy how fast gossip spreads, woo woo woo.”
Song Keyin sat in her seat, her complexion pale, trembling uncontrollably all over.
What happened?
Why don’t I remember the day Senior came to school on someone else’s bicycle?
Could it be the butterfly effect of my rebirth?
Chu Yanyan snorted coldly, wanting to bite a handkerchief to express her fury, and said viciously, “I’ve decided! I’m going to investigate which class’s little slut actually dares to snatch our school pet!”
Song Keyin raised her head, some incomprehensible emotions flashing in her eyes, and replied quickly, “I’ll go with you.”
She must!
Protect Senior!
“Um,” Su Jingyan said, picking at his nails a little awkwardly as he looked at the taciturn boy in front of him. Finally, he extended his invitation. “Today at noon, let’s have lunch in the forest together! Together with Gulu!”
Lu Yichen’s gloomy eyes stared at the pair of doe eyes that were so bright they were almost shining.
The swollen desire in his heart grew deeper and deeper, like a black hole gradually darkening.
Not enough, far from enough!
I want more than that!
Not enough!
Su Jingyan looked at him expectantly, only to hear Lu Yichen reply softly, “Mn.”
Full of joy, Su Jingyan prepared to head to the senior building.
Suddenly, as if he had just realized a serious problem, he stopped, turned around, and found that Lu Yichen was still standing there without moving.
He asked loudly, “What class are you in?”
After speaking, Su Jingyan’s cheeks turned red again.
Honestly! After knowing each other for so long, I forgot to ask what year and class he’s in.
Lu Yichen’s eyes flickered, and after a long silence, he replied, “I’m in Class 4, freshman year.”
Su Jingyan nodded and started to walk toward the senior building. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something again and stopped once more.
He turned around. Lu Yichen was still standing there motionless, watching him leave.
Su Jingyan paused, his expression slightly choked.
It was a very subtle feeling, as if no matter how far he went or where he went, Lu Yichen would still be standing there, waiting for him to turn back.
Su Jingyan’s heart was touched, and he shouted, “Lu Yichen! See you at noon!”
Then, like a kid who had done something naughty, he ran off quickly and left the scene.
When Su Jingyan’s figure had completely disappeared, Lu Yichen, still standing in the same place, also vanished like a bubble.
Senior…
