Why did Cheng Chen come here?
Of course, he is for Jiang Xuan, but also for himself.
Ever since he felt that he GET a hint from Jiang Xuan to confess his feelings, he has been thinking about how to express his heart to Jiang Xuan.
After the military training is also over, he threw away the the dirty training clothes, and immediately changed into clothes full of design sense that can bring out his weak young master image.
His clothes are all designed by specialized designers, Jiang Xuan’s eyes will definitely brighten up the moment he sees him.
Jiang Xuan’s current address is still the one he asked for on the grounds of sending something to Jiang Xuan.
Of course he didn’t want to go in either, having known Jiang Xuan for so long, Cheng Chen knows very well that he cannot enter his private space without his consent.
Not only did he change his clothes on purpose today, but he also knew that Jiang Xuan hasn’t come back yet, his purpose of standing here is to let Jiang Xuan see him at the first sight when he comes back, he specially checked the weather conditions today, it will rain at half past six in the evening, Jiang Xuan should have returned by this time.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if he comes back later, he is ready, all his outfits today are for the sake of being weak and weak, just to let Jiang Xuan comes back and sees himself sitting on the steps pitifully waiting for him.
If Jiang Xuan came back and saw him standing in the rain, his whole body wet in the rain, delicate and touching, it would surely arouse his compassion1惻隱之心 (cè yǐn zhī xīn): feeling of compassion; heart of sympathy; sentiment of pity; Describes sympathy for people; From Mencius (《孟子·公孫丑上》): 所以謂人皆有不忍人之心者，今人乍見孺子將入於井，皆有怵惕惻隱之心。, When I say that all men have a mind which cannot bear to see the sufferings of others, my meaning may be illustrated thus: even now-a-days, if men suddenly see a child about to fall into a well, they will without exception experience a feeling of alarm and distress..
Lin Zimao didn’t stay on the first floor, but went back to his room, he could watch Cheng Chen leave from the balcony.
Time is passing by every minute and every second, half an hour has passed, Cheng Chen still has no intention of leaving.
Lin Zimao is a little hungry, he still wants to order takeaway.
Jiang Xuan doesn’t know that Cheng Chen is waiting for him at the door, right? Still carrying a suitcase here, isn’t this because he want to spend the night here.
Lin Zimao thought that no one could starve himself, so he dialed Jiang Xuan’s communicator.
Jiang Xuan was talking about a design concept with the students of the research group in the school laboratory, seeing the communicator on the table vibrating, he glanced at it, it was Lin Zimao, he doesn’t seem to have called his own communicator before, is there something urgent?
Turns out it’s almost half past six, he said to the members: “Let’s take a break for a while.”
He entered the pantry with a water cup and switched on the communicator.
“What’s wrong?” Although Jiang Xuan is cold, he doesn’t freeze people, towards Lin Zimao, he always has unimaginable tenderness.
Lin Zimao deliberately lowered his voice, and said in a choked voice: “Brother Jiang Xuan, when are you coming back?”
Jiang Xuan almost spilled the water in his hand: “Don’t be naughty.” There is some helplessness in the tone of his voice.
Lin Zimao hummed pitifully: “You still don’t know? Your bamboo horse is downstairs, have been waiting for you for half an hour, I dare not order takeaway, I’m so hungry that my stomach hurts.”
“What bamboo horse?” Jiang Xuan froze for a moment, and then reacted, “You mean Cheng Chen?”
“Um, he even carried a suitcase.” Lin Zimao gave Jiang Xuan a live broadcast, “Tsk, you’re already have a mistress in the golden house2金屋藏嬌 (jīn wū cáng jiāo): lit. to keep (Empress Chen) Jiao (inside one’s) golden house; a golden house to keep one’s mistress (idiom); settle one’s young wife/mistress in a golden house; a magnificent house built for a beloved woman; to take a concubine or wife; to keep a mistress in a tucked away in a luxurious house or apartment. More information: Link., but you still want to take another one in.”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Jiang Xuan couldn’t help but twitched the corners of his mouth, it seems a little interesting to hide his mistress in the golden house, and he added, “Won’t live with others.”
“So are you coming back now?” Lin Zimao asked him in a low voice, like a lover whispering in his ear.
Jiang Xuan’s ears are slightly hot: “Things haven’t finished yet, I’ll let Cheng Chen’s brother pick him up.”
While talking, Lin Zimao suddenly found that it was raining outside: “It’s thundering, what if your bamboo horse gets caught in the rain?”
What Jiang Xuan thought of was the first time he saw Lin Zimao and Jiaoyan downstairs in his house, and said: “You can just throw him an umbrella, his brother will be there in a while, I’ll be back in a while.”
Lin Zimao said: “That’s fine, it’s raining, I’ll throw him an umbrella, then what if he ask who am I?”
Jiang Xuan: “Just say that you are a friend from other planets, and you have something to do with me.”
Lin Zimao: “Oh, that’s fine.”
If Cheng Chen finds out about his relationship with Jiang Xuan, it will be really troublesome, perhaps tomorrow the whole world will know that they are married.
Jiang Xuan waited for him to hang up before putting away the communicator, returning to the laboratory and continued to complete the rest of the unfinished things, speaking faster than before.
There was a bang, thunder sounded outside, and drops of rain fell, sure enough, it began to rain.
Lin Zimao dug out a mask from the medicine cabinet, also found an umbrella, opened a crack in the door, and threw it at Cheng Chen who was sitting on the steps waiting to be drenched into a delicate beauty.
Cheng Xuan’s mind was imagining that when Jiang Xuan came back, he was soaked in the rain for too long, he was very happy to see him, when he stood up, his head was a little dizzy, his figure swayed slightly, then Jiang Xuan reached out to help him, and he plunged into Jiang Xuan’s arms.
They hugged each other in the rain, time was frozen at this moment, and then Jiang Xuan was so distressed that he picked him up and took him into the house, took off his wet clothes and pants for him, and replaced them with Jiang Xuan’s intimate clothing, and then he woke up when Jiang Xuan almost kissed him, the two of them confessed their love, kissed, and made love, from then on they lived the little life of the fairy couple that everyone envied.
Being hit by someone with an object, Cheng Chen was so frightened that all the beautiful thoughts in his mind were smashed away, he stood up and looked down, it was a packed umbrella!
Cheng Chen immediately became vigilant: “Who’s there!” In some ways, he’s pretty quick: “Who are you! Why do you live in Brother Jiang Xuan’s house!”
Lin Zimao thought to himself, he didn’t want to either, wasn’t this because he was married and forced to live together.
Lin Zimao lowered his voice and said: “Why can’t I live in his house, I’m his friend.”
Cheng Chen immediately jumped up, the door was not closed tightly, he rushed to slam the door, trying to force his way into the house!
However, he didn’t push it, because Lin Zimao was pressing against the door with one foot, no matter how Cheng Chen pushed it, he couldn’t move it.
One on the outside and one on the inside.
Cheng Chen pushed hard again, the door was still opened a crack, but only a crack, he pushed for a long time, still motionless3紋絲不動 (wén sī bù dòng): to not move a single jot (idiom); absolutely still; perfectly motionless.: “You let me in! Why don’t you let me in, what do you have to hide?”
Lin Zimao thought for a while and said: “I have social phobia4社恐 (shè kǒng): T/N: The full phrase is 社交恐懼症 (shèjiāo kǒngjù zhèng), directly translated from the English term “social phobia.” More commonly known as social anxiety disorder (SAD) today, it is an anxiety disorder characterized by a significant amount of fear in one or more social situations, causing considerable distress and impaired ability to function in at least some parts of daily life. However, in the Chinese context, many people who use the term to describe themselves or their friends are simply exaggerating. Some are shy nerds who prefer to stay home playing games, and others are exhausted workers who just want some alone time., I can’t meet strangers, I can’t open the door.”
Cheng Chen, who pushed but can’t push it, and had to stand outside the door: “…”
There are indeed many social phobia in the world.
Lin Zimao continued to say in a lowered voice: “But I can chat with you through the door, why are you standing at the door in the rain? Seeing how pitiful you are, I brought you an umbrella, I’m a good person, you’d better open up your umbrella, it’s so uncomfortable to be in the rain.”
Cheng Chen doubted: “Since you have social phobia, why do you dare to talk to me?”
Lin Zimao: “I also chat with people on the internet very HIGH, as long as I don’t see the other party’s faces, I’ll be fine.”
Cheng Chen can only believe him: “I’ve never heard that Brother Jiang Xuan has friends like you.”
Lin Zimao said again: “Already said that I have social phobia, why should he tell you? Do you like Jiang Xuan?”
Cheng Chen said with a straight face: “Yes, I like him.”
Lin Zimao felt bored and started asking Cheng Chen: “What do you like about him? Handsome?”
It started to rain heavily, Cheng Chen opened the umbrella in the end.
Cheng Chen said: “Like just because liking.”
Lin Zimao pretended to be curious: “He is not funny, not humorous, not romantic, not talkative, the person is also cold, may also not like small animals, what do you like about him? Don’t say you figure that his family is rich?”
Cheng Chen was momentarily at a loss for words: “Don’t talk nonsense, it’s not!”
Lin Zimao: “If he is a pauper, only have face, would you still like him?”
Cheng Chen was dumbstruck and unable to reply5啞口無言 (yǎ kǒu wú yán): dumbstruck and unable to reply (idiom); to be speechless in response to being interrogated or refuted; at a loss for words; be left without an argument; be left/rendered speechless; be dumbfounded. by the question: “…” He hesitated.
Lin Zimao said with sincere and heartfelt words6語重心長 (yǔ zhòng xīn cháng): meaningful and heartfelt words (idiom); sincere and earnest wishes; sincere and heartfelt words; say in all sincerity; sincere and earnest remarks.: “As a person who has been through this, I think you should examine your heart carefully, there is no future in falling in love with someone who has no heart.”
Cheng Chen: “No, he definitely likes me, we grew up together, he would give me presents on my birthday, he even gave me an umbrella on rainy days, in the first year of high school, I fainted on the schoolyard due to hypoglycemia, it’s also him who helped me to the school clinic.”
Lin Zimao: “It seems that you have a good relationship.”
Cheng Chen is a little proud again: “Of course, he just doesn’t like to talk, he’s a bit cold, I’ll warm him up!”
Lin Zimao still want to say something, but the sound of flying cars came from outside, judging from Jiaoyan’s running speed, it was Jiang Xuan who came back.
The first to come down was Jiang Xuan, he walked to the door with an umbrella.
Cheng Chen was a little excited when he saw Jiang Xuan, almost throwing away his umbrella and rushed over, but when he looked at Jiang Xuan’s cold face, he froze again: “Brother Jiang Xuan, you finally came back, I…”
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xuan interrupted him, his voice was so cold that it could drop ice shards: “I asked your brother to come and pick you up.”
Cheng Chen was taken aback: “…Can’t I stay with you?”
Lin Zimao shouted from inside: “I have social phobia, I can’t meet anyone!”
The corners of Jiang Xuan’s mouth curled up slightly: “Um, my friend have social phobia.”
Cheng Chen hated that social phobic person inside, all his plans for tonight went down the drain.
No, he must confess his love today!
Cheng Chen gritted his teeth: “Brother Jiang Xuan, I, I want to tell you, since a long time ago I already like…”
At this time, a flying car stopped at the entrance of Jiang Xuan’s house again, the other side honked the horn and shouted at Cheng Chen: “Chenchen, get in the car!”
Cheng Chen finally seized the opportunity to confess his love, as a result… As a result…
Jiang Xuan said: “Your brother is here, get in the car.”
He didn’t help Cheng Chen carry the suitcase, but let him carry it by himself, and said to him before he got into the car: “Don’t come here again next time.”
He believed that Cheng Chen should be able to understand this sentence.
Cheng Chen was listening, but he couldn’t believe it, what does this mean?
Cheng Chen left, Jiang Xuan returned home.
Lin Zimao ordered takeout for two people and it was delivered in less than half an hour.
Lin Zimao sat at the dining table and unwrapped the takeout, Jiaoyan stood on the chair with its hind legs, its front legs leaning against the edge of the table, its head was stretched out to get into the bag, Lin Zimao pushed its big round head away, and it directly rubbed its head against his palm.
Lin Zimao said to it seriously: “Jiaoyan, you go eat cat food, we are not poor now, don’t keep grabbing food from me.”
Jiaoyan is still doing as it pleases7我行我素 (wǒ xíng wǒ sù): to continue in one’s own way (idiom); to persist in one’s old ways; to continue in one’s own way no matter what others say; persist in one’s old habit; stick to one’s old way of doing things; do always as one pleases., the palm of the hand should be rubbed still be rubbed, and after rubbing, it still have to continue to be curious about what is in the bag, and poking it with its paws.
Jiang Xuan just got caught in the rain, and just got out of the shower, he happened to hear him say the word that he was not poor, not only thinking of Lin Zimao’s return from planet Alpha, the Lin family doesn’t lack the money to support him, right, did he have a hard time before?
He considers the words: “Previous living conditions were not good?”
Lin Zimao: “It’s okay, look, can still raise Jiaoyan so fat.”
Jiang Xuan said while looking at Jiaoyan who continued to grab the bag: “It is quite fat.”
During the meal, Jiaoyan jumped on the table twice and was pushed down by Lin Zimao.
He thought it was quite strange: “Jiaoyan never used to be on the table, why did he start jumping up today?”
Jiang Xuan eats in silence, it’s not his cat, don’t know, not clear.
Lin Zimao ordered the takeaway, and Jiang Xuan was the one who cleaned up after the meal, he put away the dishes according to the garbage classification.
Lin Zimao didn’t go far, just stood by the open cooking counter with a cup in his hand to watch Jiang Xuan wash the dishes.
Watching his jade-like fingers put the bowls into the dishwasher one by one, Lin Zimao thought he had seen good-looking people, but most of those people had good-looking faces, however, Jiang Xuan Jiang Xuan was more than just a face.
In fact, the household robot can handle it, but he still do it himself.
At this time, Jiang Xuan is more down-to-earth than his cold appearance.
In fact, the more one get in touch with Jiang Xuan, the more one will find that this person is more real, not as cold and unapproachable8高不可攀 (gāo bù kě pān): too high to reach (idiom); eminent and unapproachable; too high to reach—hold/keep people off/at arm’s length; be unattainable/unreachable/unapproachable; Describe difficult to reach; It is also described something being aloof and inaccessible. as he showed.
Lin Zimao lay on the table, his voice was a little soft, said: “Today, Cheng Chen told me that you would give him presents for his birthday, and you even gave him an umbrella on rainy days, in the first year of high school, he fainted on the schoolyard due to hypoglycemia, you also helped him to the school clinic.”
Jiang Xuan washed his hands and said matter-of-factly: “On his birthday, the presents I gave were similar to theirs, I only gave him an umbrella once, and it was his brother who asked me to give it to him, as for fainting due to hypoglycemia, I happened to be on duty that day, the teacher called me over.”
Nothing is voluntary.
Lin Zimao listened to the explanation, and the cold corner of his heart collapsed slightly, he said with a smile in his eyes: “I don’t like to hold an umbrella when it rains.”
“Why?” Jiang Xuan asked him, he was dazzled by his bright eyes.
Lin Zimao turned his glass of water and said: “Because we rarely get rain on our planet Alpha, I like rain.”
Jiang Xuan: “So you got caught in the rain.”
Lin Zimao: “Doesn’t it feel good to be drenched in the rain?”
Jiang Xuan looked at him solemnly: “Would get a cold.”
Lin Zimao: “…”
This person is not romantic at all.
The next morning.
Jiang Xuan was awakened by Jiaoyan, who had forced its way into his room for two days on weekends, while Lin Zimao didn’t wake up until after nine o’clock every morning, he seemed to want to make up for the sleep time he missed during the military training, he didn’t notice that Jiaoyan didn’t come back to sleep at all.
Jiang Xuan has to go to school every day to study the design drawings, leave home at the crack of dawn and return by starlight9早出晚歸 (zǎo chū wǎn guī): to leave early and return late (idiom); to leave early in the morning and return late at night; leave home at the crack of dawn and return by starlight; be gone from early morning until late at night; be out from dawn till dusk., the two of them hardly ever met face to face.
On Monday, as a new student, Lin Zimao finally had to get up early to go to school.
In order to abide by the basic rules between the two of them, Lin Zimao yawned and took the bus to school alone.
Jiang Xuan went out a little later than him, his car stopped next to the bus, he watched Lin Zimao being almost squeezed into a meatloaf by the people in the carriage, and helplessly stuck against the car window, Jiang Xuan couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
He remembered He Ling’s previous evaluation of Lin Zimao, it was quite cute.
The school has already sent the contents of the books to them in the form of data during the weekend.
Before it was silent when he came in, didn’t think it would be as busy as a vegetable market.
Wang Yi specially reserved a place for him, Lin Zimao walked over and sat down, after squeezing in the bus, the whole body is hot, and it is only after entering the classroom that the temperature cools down.
After sitting down, he found out that they were excited for the Mecha Simulation Cabin Competition held by the academy, and they were all filling out the registration form.
Wang Yi asked Lin Zimao after signing up: “Are you sure you won’t sign up? Everyone wants to have fun, it is said that if you take the top three, you can challenge any senior from the Mecha Combat Department.”
Lin Zimao remembered the matter of Ren Siran, on the forum, the students of the school praised him, all of which praised his spirit of self-sacrifice and fearlessness of life and death.
However, the official website issued a notice a few days ago that all the mechas of the Mecha Academy will be recalled to the factory for overhaul.
He suddenly became interested: “Since everyone has signed up, I’ll go and play, too.”
The author has something to say:
Jiang Xuan: Cute, want~~
Jiaoyan is corrupted by JX… 😂
