ARIPOEC Chapter 8

Chapter 8 Dormitory

That afternoon, the same day he accidentally touched a chest muscle near the bathroom door, Lin Jun called Yu Chenhong.

“Can I sleep in your dorm tonight?”

Yu Chenhong was in the lab doing an experiment and immediately switched the communication interface to private upon hearing this.

Lin Jun’s voice immediately disappeared in the lab, and no one but Yu Chenhong could hear it.

“Ye Mingyuan is back?”

“Yeah.” Lin Jun frowned with a headache: “He came back last night.”

Remembering the person who had inexplicably appeared in his bed that morning, Lin Jun felt a deep sense of crisis.

Today, it was just accidentally touching a muscle, but what if tomorrow he accidentally brushed against a gun or set off a fire…

After all, they were partners now, and if Ye Mingyuan wanted to do something intimate between couples…

Ye Mingyuan was in good shape, so it didn’t seem like a loss.

Lin Jun shook his head, forcefully shaking the smooth muscle lines out of his mind: “Then it’s settled, I’ll go to your dorm tonight.”

Lin Jun thought for a while and said, “I’ll talk to Meng Yi later to see if I can throw him to sleep in the same room with Ye Mingyuan, so there won’t be any crowding.”

Yu Chenhong on the other end of the communication was stunned for a moment and couldn’t help but purse his lips and smile: “That’s easy. Just tell him that Uncle Meng wants him to go, and he definitely won’t be able to refuse.”

That kid Meng Yi isn’t afraid of anything except his dad.

They both recalled some past events from their youth and laughed in unison.

This matter was even simpler than Lin Jun had imagined.

That afternoon, there happened to be a Mech Operation Course. Lin Jun was afraid that Ye Mingyuan would cause trouble again, so before class, he simply went to a professional teacher and only said that he was feeling unwell, without mentioning anything about being pregnant.

While Ye Mingyuan was called to do a mech practical exercise, Lin Jun pulled over Meng Yi, who was watching from the side, and told him about the dormitory exchange in a low voice.

Lin Jun didn’t even have time to bring out Uncle Meng, and Meng Yi nodded very readily: “Okay, how many days are you staying? I’ll bring more clothes over then.”

Lin Jun was a little surprised: “So readily?”

Meng Yi scratched his head: “Chenhong told me before that you have amnesia and must be unaccustomed to many things, so try to agree to any requests.”

Meng Yi patted Lin Jun on the shoulder: “We’re all good brothers, so what’s the big deal about changing dorms? No problem.”

Lin Jun was a little moved. He nodded and also reached out to pat Meng Yi: “Thanks.”

Ye Mingyuan had just come down from the mech when he saw Lin Jun and Meng Yi staying at the edge of the field, huddled together and whispering.

He couldn’t help but frown and walked towards them.

Lin Jun caught sight of Ye Mingyuan walking over, and immediately changed the subject: “What was your score on the last Mech Operation Course?”

Although Meng Yi didn’t understand, he still obediently replied: “It seems to be B+, almost an A, really just a little bit away.”

“…”

Ye Mingyuan had just walked over when he heard such peaceful and serious talk: “It’s a little difficult for Meng Yi’s mental power to operate an A-level mech. His last score had already reached A, but the teacher was afraid that his mental power would be damaged if he forcibly piloted an A-level mech, so he suppressed it to B.”

“Holy shit!” Meng Yi was dumbfounded: “Really?!”

Ye Mingyuan didn’t speak.

Meng Yi suddenly reacted: “Then what am I practicing operation skills for! I’ll go to the training room to practice my mental power every day from now on!”

Lin Jun was stared at by Ye Mingyuan’s gaze. He was a little guilty and had to pretend to be calm and averted his gaze, pretending to be seriously watching others operate mechs.

Ye Mingyuan didn’t expose him. He stood next to Lin Jun: “Is it good?”

“…” Lin Jun actually didn’t look carefully at all. He nodded with a straight face: “Not bad.”

The corners of Ye Mingyuan’s lips curled up slightly: “Well, thank you for the compliment.”

“…” Lin Jun was heartbroken. How could he forget that it was Ye Mingyuan who had just gone up to operate it!

“I’m going to find Yu Chenhong.” Lin Jun greeted Ye Mingyuan when he left the dormitory.

Ye Mingyuan was sitting at his desk, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, looking like a refined scoundrel.

He heard the sound and looked up, nonchalantly “hmm”ed, and didn’t try to stop him.

Lin Jun felt relieved and turned around to slip out of the dormitory.

The dormitory door closed behind him, and Ye Mingyuan raised his head from the desk, an inadvertent smile floating between his eyebrows.

The black pen twirled between his fingertips, and a hint of interest shone in Ye Mingyuan’s eyes.

He also wanted to see what Lin Jun was planning so carefully and trying so hard to hide.

More than ten minutes later, a beeping knock came from the door.

Ye Mingyuan put down his pen and got up to open the door.

He saw Meng Yi standing outside the door with a big bag. He looked up at Ye Mingyuan: “Lin Jun has something to tell you.”

Ye Mingyuan stepped aside: “Please come in.”

As soon as Meng Yi entered the room, he put the bag down by the bed and turned around to pounce on Lin Jun’s quilt.

Ye Mingyuan’s pupils shrank slightly, and the fingers hanging by his side tightened uncontrollably: “What did he ask you to tell me?”

Meng Yi sat up from the bed with a smug smile on his face: “Oh, Lin Jun is going to change dorms with me these days, so I’ll have to trouble you to be my roommate today.”

Meng Yi clasped his fists at him: “Please take care of me.”

“…” Ye Mingyuan was silent for three seconds, then opened the door and went out without looking back.

As soon as he went out, Meng Yi pounced back into the quilt and sent a message to Lin Jun with his personal terminal.

[Warning warning, target has been dispatched.]

Soon, a new message popped up on the personal terminal.

[Received received, adequate defenses have been prepared.]

School had just ended not long ago, and the sky wasn’t completely dark yet. The dormitory corridor was full of students coming and going.

Ye Mingyuan walked to the door of 608 in a few steps, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

There was no movement inside the door, as quiet as if there was no one inside at all.

Ye Mingyuan’s hands hanging by his sides gradually clenched into fists, and he raised his hand and knocked again: “Lin Jun, I know you’re in there.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the blue indicator light on the doorknob flashed.

Ye Mingyuan’s eyes flickered slightly, and he put down his hand knocking on the door.

The next second, the indicator light on the door turned red, and a mechanical voice came from the loudspeaker at the door: “Sleep Do Not Disturb mode has been set, please visit another day.”

Ye Mingyuan: “…”

What time is it?! The sky isn’t dark yet, and he’s already sleeping? You’re kidding me!

—

This scene was seen by many students coming and going. Although they didn’t dare to provoke Ye Mingyuan in person, it didn’t stop them from gossiping behind their backs.

That night, a gossip post quickly turned red in the academy forum.

[Lin Jun and Ye Mingyuan are fighting! Pictures and truth!]

This news spread like wildfire and instantly blew up the entire forum.

[Lin Jun moved to 608 to live with his good buddy, and now Ye Mingyuan is alone in an empty room.]

[Hahahaha, why does it feel like he’s gone back to his mother’s house after being wronged, inexplicably cute.]

[Upstairs, get out of here, Lin Jun is my male god, I’m on Lin’s side as the top!]

[Lin top my ass, I heard that Lin Jun is pregnant, okay?]

[Upstairs, who did you hear that from?]

[Holy shit?! Lin Jun is pregnant? My world view has collapsed.]

Before anyone could continue the discussion, this post was quickly deleted, and new posts appeared in the forum one after another.

[The forum has been glitching too badly recently, and it’s being deleted easily, and you can’t even eat the gossip properly.]

[Lin Jun has moved out, so the fight must be very fierce, will they break up?]

[Break up quickly, break up quickly! I’ve been coveting Lin Jun for a long time, I’ll confess as soon as they break up!]

[Is Ye Mingyuan not handsome enough or A enough? No one wants to chase Ye Mingyuan?]

[The Ye party is here to report!]

[Ye Party +1]

[The Lin party is here to report!]

[Lin Party +10086]

……

[Don’t CP fans deserve a name?! Don’t break up! Keep sending sweets!]

[How long are you planning to run away from home?]

The translucent light screen showed the message being sent, and not long after, the small circle rotating next to the message disappeared, replaced by a bright red exclamation point.

“…” Ye Mingyuan’s fingertip poked at it.

Resend!

Exclamation point, exclamation point, still exclamation point.

Ye Mingyuan had to face the reality: he was blacklisted by Lin Jun.

Ye Mingyuan took a deep breath and almost laughed out of anger.

He thought it was just a prank by Lin Jun, or at worst another fight.

But who knew that Lin Jun would directly blacklist him.

Just… touched him once.

Ye Mingyuan felt a little wronged.

The personal terminal on his wrist suddenly vibrated twice, and a private communication request popped up.

Ye Mingyuan reflexively picked it up: “Lin…”

A youthful and lively voice came from the other side: “Boss! We’ve already told Ye Wenxing the truth according to plan. He agreed to cooperate and will start the operation tomorrow night.”

Ye Mingyuan: “…Understood.”

The teenager didn’t hang up the phone. He paused for a while and boldly started gossiping: “Boss, did your wife run away from home?”

Mentioning the pot that doesn’t boil.

Ye Mingyuan’s anger couldn’t be suppressed: “How did you know?”

“You asked me to block the news of Lin Jun’s pregnancy, and I saw someone posting it on the forum when I was deleting posts.”

“…”

“Boss, what did you do to scare people like that? I told you that your way of chasing people won’t work…”

“Si Zhuo.” These two words seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, with a hint of gnashing.

The teenager also realized that he was a little presumptuous, and he coughed twice and began to try his best to make up for it: “That… I’m actually here to give you a suggestion.”
