Cheng Chen and Jiang Xuan have known each other for many years. He also often observes his emotions. Cheng Chen believes that Jiang Xuan treats him differently1與眾不同 (yǔ zhòng bù tóng): to stand out from the masses (idiom); different; distinct; distinctive; standing out from the crowd..
His brother is Jiang Xuan’s friend. When Jiang Xuan was eleven years old, their two families became neighbors. The two families are close to each other, and they often hold family activities together. It’s not an exaggeration to say that they grew up together.
Jiang Xuan has been very good since he was a child. He is very independent and his life has always been regular and thorough2有條不紊 (yǒu tiáo bù wěn): regular and thorough (idiom); methodically arranged; in perfect order; methodically arranged; From the Book of Documents: 若網在綱，有條而不紊；若農服田，力穡乃亦有秋。, When the net has its line, there is order and not confusion; and when the husbandman labours upon his fields, and reaps with all his might, there is the (abundant) harvest., never making mistakes.
Such an exceptional Jiang Xuan has never been seen with other people around him, whether they are men or women. Jiang Xuan becomes more attractive as he ages, and Cheng Chen becomes increasingly drawn to him. That’s why Cheng Chen always followed Jiang Xuan and even studied the same major in university.
He feels that he is special, for so many years, who could hold Jiang Xuan’s arm, and who could make him accompany another person to report to the university?
None. No one. Only he could.
Tomorrow, he will go to the same university as Jiang Xuan. There are plenty of opportunities to confess. Whether it’s himself or his mutual acquaintances with Jiang Xuan, everyone thinks that Jiang Xuan will be with him sooner or later. Therefore, He doesn’t need to care about this moment.
Jiang Xuan had drunk alcohol, so he turned the autopilot function of the flying car on.
When he returned home, he didn’t see the new residents who had just moved in. Only one soft yellow light was turned on in the living room. The new resident had already returned to the room to rest.
He goes to sleep so early.
Jiang Xuan poured himself a glass of water; turned off the light in the living room; and went back to his room to take a shower. He didn’t come back so early in the past. Today is an exception.
In fact, Lin Zimao’s sleep quality is not good. He vaguely heard Jiang Xuan’s movement when he came back, but the outside quickly calmed down. He was sweating, but his head was a little heavy. He was half asleep and half awake. He didn’t know whether he was dreaming or not.
***
Early in the morning, when the fat cat Jiaoyan got out of bed, he stomped heavily on his stomach. Lin Zimao opened his eyes and saw that it had opened the door by itself, and got out from the crack of the door.
When he woke up, he realized that his nose was very stuffy.
His words turned out to be prophetic3一語成讖 (yī yǔ chéng chèn): (idiom) to have one’s words turn out to be (tragically) prophetic; one’s careless words (inauspiciously) turned out to be a prophecy.. Last night’s premonition came true. He caught a cold.
He coughed. The sound was a bit wrong. Fortunately, he took cold medicine in time yesterday, so it’s not serious. At least there is no sign of dizziness, thanks to Jiang Xuan’s foresight.
After washing up, he remembered that they had to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to collect their certificates in the morning.
Jiang Xuan has already woken up and is jogging in the exercise room on the second floor. When Lin Zimao came out, he happened to see him coming out with a towel.
Compared with Lin Zimao’s pale face and extremely pale mouth, Jiang Xuan’s body is extremely healthy. Lin Zimao said hoarsely: “Morning.”
Yesterday’s voice was not like this. Jiang Xuan pursed his lips and said affirmatively: “You’ve caught a cold.”
Lin Zimao sniffed: “Just a little stuffy nose, it’s okay.”
Jiang Xuan nodded: “There’s breakfast downstairs.”
Lin Zimao was thinking about how to deal with breakfast, and it was ready. He just doesn’t know if Jiang Xuan made it himself or ordered takeaway.
He entered the dining room. Judging by the appearance of the breakfast, it should be takeaway.
Jiang Xuan didn’t want to take care of Lin Zimao, but in the future they will live together under the same roof, and there will certainly be intersections. For things like breakfast, he could just order for one more person and it wouldn’t affect his life.
***
The breakfast is very light, congee and side dishes4清粥和小菜 (qīng zhōu hé xiǎocài): Congee and side dishes. 
, very suitable for Lin Zimao now. He took the initiative to clean up after, and stuffed the dishes into the automatic dishwasher.
At eight o’clock in the morning, Jiang Xuan and Lin Zimao received urging calls at the same time. One was Jiang Xuan’s mother, Qi Jingshan, and the other was Lin Bei.
Jiang Xuan’s expression remained the same from answering the phone to hanging up, seeming extremely indifferent. At the same time, Lin Zimao choked Lin Bei in two sentences and seemed to be in a good mood.
Qi Jingshan was very concerned about obtaining their certificates, and directly sent the driver to the door to pick them up, fearing that they would run away halfway.
The two got into the flying car, and it went straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Jiang Xuan and Lin Zimao sat in the back row, each occupying one side, each staring out the window. They didn’t say a word until they got out of the car. The calm atmosphere in the morning was dispelled by the issue of obtaining the certificate.
In the future, the two of them will be tied together. It’s difficult to get used to it in a short time.
None of them thought of running away. The process of obtaining a certificate is simple; they just need to press the finger print smoothly. In the process of taking pictures, the staff asked the two handsome guys to smile many times.
Although the staff did not take a photo of one of the handsome guys smiling in the end, they still gave the young couple good wishes.
During the vow session, Lin Zimao endured the itching of his nose, and sneezed twice immediately after reading.
Lin Zimao used up the tissues he brought with him, so Jiang Xuan took out a small packet from his bag and gave it to him.
With his nose rubbed red, Lin Zimao asked Jiang Xuan: “Is it over?” He really didn’t pay attention to the process of obtaining the certificate. Lin Bei hadn’t realized it yet, but for Lin Zimao, this was just a deal with the Lin family.
Jiang Xuan said: “Um, wait for the certificate.”
It only takes a few minutes to issue the certificate. Many couples choose to print a paper marriage certificate to commemorate and they printed the paper version to show to the two families.
When he got the certificate, Lin Zimao’s nasal voice became heavier again.
They came early. It was only ten o’clock in the morning when they finished.
The assistants arranged by the two families were at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau. The people from the Jiang family and Fang Jiawen made sure they had completed the formalities before leaving.
Before Fang Jiawen left, he wanted to say congratulations to Lin Zimao, but they all know the truth here, so he gave up.
Next, is the respective schedule.
The school stipulates that new students have to assemble in the afternoon. Lin Zimao began the fifteen-day military training.
Jiang Xuan also has his own arrangements. They both had to go back to school, so they went back together.
When getting into the car, Lin Zimao suffered from a stuffy nose. He clutched the tissues and never letting them go
Jiang Xuan told the driver: “Go to the community hospital first.”
Lin Zimao covered his nose with a tissue: “No need, I’m fine.”
Jiang Xuan ignored what he said, but glanced at him, labeling Lin Zimao as delicate in his heart.
The driver listened to his young master and sent them to the community hospital.
Standing in front of the community hospital, Lin Zimao’s heart started to get restless, Jiang Xuan asked him: “Not going?”
Lin Zimao said with a straight face: “I’ll be fine when I go back and take some medicine, immunity is the best medicine.”
Jiang Xuan said affirmatively: “You are afraid of needles.” Without the question marks.
Lin Zimao, who was poked at the heart of the matter, refused to admit it: “How can I be afraid of injections? What a joke.”
Jiang Xuan: “Then let’s go.” He thought to himself, it turns out that the aggressive method is still useful to people.
The moment he walked into the hospital, Lin Zimao thought to himself that he had been caught in a trap because of his carelessness.
Due to his boastful mouth, he could only move in slowly. Jiang Xuan walked quietly with him.
Jiang Xuan registered for him. Not many people came to the community hospital. After sitting for a while, it was soon Lin Zimao’s turn. The doctor examined him for a while, then ordered him to have a blood test.
Lin Zimao grabbed the sheet and walked out quickly, but was suddenly grabbed by the wrist by Jiang Xuan: “The blood draw is on the left, not the right.”
The right side is the direction of the main entrance.
Lin Zimao awkwardly found an excuse: “Is that so? I don’t have a good sense of direction.”
He didn’t expect Jiang Xuan to be so responsible. He just got the certificate, but he already stared at him to draw blood. Lin Zimao had no choice but to bite the bullet and go draw blood.
Lin Zimao rolled up his shirt sleeves with a feeling of facing death with equanimity5視死如歸 (shì sǐ rú guī): to face death with equanimity (idiom); to view death as a return home; to not be afraid of dying; to be courageous and not fear death; to not fear sacrificing oneself for a greater cause.. He turned his head to look at Jiang Xuan, not at the nurse, and asked: “You’re not busy?”
Jiang Xuan not busy? On the contrary, he is very busy. However, he wants to watch Lin Zimao take the injections and take medicine before going about his own business.
“Um, still okay.” The nurse’s needle pierced Lin Zimao’s skin, Lin Zimao suddenly grabbed his small wrist. His expression was tense and his face was paler than paper. “What’s wrong?”
Lin Zimao bit his lower lip tensely. He seemed to have lost his hearing. He was so scared that his body was trembling.
The nurse told him to relax. The needle couldn’t even go in.
Jiang Xuan felt that Lin Zimao might faint in the next second. He remembered that when his grandmother took him to get an injection when he was a child, she would rub his head to make him relax and not be afraid. He gently put his palm on the top of Lin Zimao’s hair and rubbed it gently.
“Relax, it’ll be over in a moment.” Lin Zimao’s hair has just been cut short and it feels a bit prickly to the touch. It is said that people with stiffer hair tend to be more stubborn.
This sentence inexplicably made Lin Zimao relax a bit. Maybe it was because he felt the temperature of Jing Xuan’s hand for a moment, but Lin Zimao rested his forehead on Jiang Xuan’s waist and closed his eyes. He wouldn’t be afraid if he didn’t think about it.
He’s not afraid of injections, he’s afraid of needles.
With the help of Jiang Xuan, the nurse successfully drew three tubes of blood. Although the time was short, Lin Zimao, who was tense all over, still had sweat dripping from his forehead. The nurse suggested that Jiang Xuan help him rest next to him.
Lin Zimao loosened up his bite. When he stood up, his figure swayed slightly. Fortunately, Jiang Xuan helped him to not fall. Now, he just wants to leave the hospital quickly.
Jiang Xuan also never thought that bringing him to the community hospital would reveal that he was afraid of blood drawing and injections.
The two sat in the rest area for a while. Jiang Xuan didn’t ask Lin Zimao about the fear of injections because he thought it was the other party’s privacy.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Xuan took Lin Zimao’s laboratory test report. After reading the report, the doctor prescribed Lin Zimao’s medicine.
It’s a good thing that he doesn’t need acupuncture treatment.
***
The driver sent them home before leaving.
After Lin Zimao went back, he sat motionless on the sofa in the living room. He only came back to his senses when Jiaoyan jumped to his side and meowed twice.
Jiang Xuan handed the medicine and water to him: “Take the medicine, then sleep.” For the first time, he had thoughts of regret. He should’ve given Lin Zimao the password in advance yesterday.
Lin Zimao mechanically did as he was told in a daze. If Jiang Xuan gave him poison at this time, he might not notice even after eating it.
The cold medicine has a sleeping effect plus he didn’t sleep well last night. After returning to the room, he fell directly on the bed, covered with the blanket, and fell asleep soon after.
When he woke up again, it was already half past two in the afternoon.
This sleep was too deep, but very peaceful. When he sat up, he touched his forehead. He then realized that Jiang Xuan touched his head when he was comforting him in the hospital.
He muttered to himself6自言自語 (zì yán zì yǔ): (idiomatic) to talk to oneself; to think aloud; mutter to oneself; to soliloquize.: “Doesn’t he know that a man’s head cannot be touched.”
After taking a nap, he felt much better than in the morning.
He was also a little hungry. He had to pack two sets of clothes for military training in the afternoon. Lin Zimao was starting to get tired of school.
Jiang Xuan is not in the living room, but there is some food left there, which is being warmed with a warmer. Lin Zimao was so hungry, that his chest stuck to his back. He ate it unceremoniously.
After eating, Lin Zimao skillfully cleaned up the table.
Jiang Xuan came down from upstairs, holding a printed paper in his hand. He handed it to Lin Zimao and said a long sentence: “In the future, there will inevitably be intersections in the same school, so we have to make some basic rules7約法三章 (yuē fǎ sān zhāng): to agree on three laws; three-point covenant; (fig.) preliminary agreement; basic rules; agree on a three-point law—make certain rules to be observed by all concerned; From Shiji, Volume 8: 父老苦秦苛法久矣，誹謗者族，偶語者棄市。吾與諸侯約，先入關者王之，吾當王關中。與父老約，法三章耳：殺人者死，傷人及盜抵罪。餘悉除去秦法。, Elders are suffering from Qin’s draconian law for a long time: those who libel had their family exterminated, those who whisper were publicly executed in markets. I have promised with other feudal rulers that the person who first entered the pass (Hangu Pass) would become the king (of Guanzhong), and I shall reign as the king of Guanzhong. I also promise with elders that there will be only three laws: murderers shall be punished with death, those who hurt others and steal from others shall be punished according to their offence. The rest of Qin laws are repealed..”
Lin Zimao wiped his hands, took the white paper, and read down the list one by one.
- One, the relationship between the two parties cannot be disclosed at school;
- Two, Lin Zimao can’t take the initiative to talk to him at school;
- Three, can not interfere with each other’s privacy;
- Four, if it is discovered by others that the two parties live together, Party A is the landlord and Party B is the tenant;
- Five, please make sure to remember the first rule;
…
Lin Zimao didn’t speak for a while. He clearly realized that Jiang Xuan didn’t want to have anything to do with him.
He thought about it carefully. Jiang Xuan is the real young master of a high-level planet and he’s just a country bumpkin the Lin family got back from a garbage star.
Lin Zimao pinched the white paper and asked him: “Are you sure?’
Jiang Xuan nodded coldly: “I can’t be more sure.”
Thinking of the postings in the forum, Lin Zimao suddenly understood. He pulled out a very light smile: “Okay, I will comply.”
After he finished speaking, he put the paper on the table and went upstairs to pack his clothes.
Jiang Xuan watched his thin figure disappearing at the corner of the stairs, and couldn’t help but look at the paper on the table; these contents were written the day before yesterday and for a while he felt that it was a bit of an eyesore.
Because students can choose to live on campus or outside, the school provides a lot of convenience for the new student’s military training and doesn’t make mandatory requirements.
During military training, all daily necessities are distributed uniformly. The clothes are mainly military training uniforms, and students don’t even need to bring extra clothes. It’s enough for Lin Zimao to bring a bag.
After packing his luggage, he has set out enough cat food and water for fifteen days on the automatic cat feeder. The cat litter box is connected to the equipment of the household robot, so there is no need to worry about cleaning. He played with Jiaoyan for a while, and told him to be good.
At four o’clock in the afternoon, he left Jiang Xuan’s house.
He didn’t say anything to Jiang Xuan before leaving.
This is because there’s nothing to say.
The author has something to say:
Jiang Xuan: I’m finished.
RIP Jiang Xuan 😂😂
