Double A In Line Chapter 27
byChapter 27 Chapter 27 It’s embarrassing to ask
“Why are you following me?” As soon as Lin Sheng stood opposite, Cheng Yan taunted, “Tsk, you are obviously the stalker, right? Catch the thief.”
After saying that, he deliberately showed an expression of extreme disgust.
“…Don’t be narcissistic, just along the way.” Lin Sheng knew that he was in the wrong, so he ignored the taunt and continued to look at the time after answering.
Cheng Yan’s anger was blocked again just as he was halfway through.
Not here yet?Seeing that the time on the optical brain reached two o’clock on time, Lin Sheng raised his head and glanced at the small garden in confusion.
The small garden is a leisure place in the school. It is the weekend, so naturally many people gather there, but most of them are in pairs. Occasionally there are people who are alone, and they are obviously not here to keep appointments in the pavilion.
As for his roommate standing in front of him, who was obviously waiting for someone, Lin Sheng automatically ignored him as if he was nothing when he glanced at him.
[I’m already here, how long do you have until you come?] He lowered his head to send the message. The next moment, he heard the prompt from the optical brain on the other side.
Looking up, Lin Sheng happened to see Cheng Yan lowering his head and clicking on his light brain, as if he was sending a message to someone. The moment the other person stopped moving, Lin Sheng coincidentally received a message.
[I’m here too. Where are you? I’ll look for you.】
No!
Lin Sheng lowered his head and looked at Guang Nao in disbelief, and then looked around the small garden where he was.
When the prompt sounded from Lin Sheng’s side, Cheng Yan suddenly raised his head, with unconcealable surprise on his expression.
Come again?Once is a coincidence, twice…or is it?
The two of them “looked at each other affectionately” like this for a while. When they looked at each other, the optical brain did not make any inappropriate noise.
Lin Sheng was the first to move. He first lowered his head to type a few words, then immediately raised his head to observe the movements of the person opposite, and then continued typing.
When Cheng Yan saw this, he immediately reacted and repeated almost the same action.
[I am under the pavilion in the northwest corner of the small garden.】
The two sent the message almost at the same time, and then looked up at each other at the same time after receiving the message.
“You…”
There is almost no need for other evidence at this time. Cheng Yan doesn’t know what his expression is now. He only knows that when he presses the [Communication] button next to the user [Slow Voice], his hands are definitely shaking.
Two identical phone rings rang. The source of the ringtones was that one belonged to Cheng Yan’s optical brain, and the other… Under Cheng Yan’s gaze, Lin Sheng pressed the connect button, and both phone rings stopped.
The last struggle between the two failed as expected.
“Sound…slow?” Cheng Yan’s question was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
What answered him was a long silence on the other side, and a question after the silence: “You are fire…”
“Yes.” Cheng Yan closed his eyes tightly. He felt that he might have suffered a heat stroke.
The sun is not bright today, so why does it feel so hot?
Lin Sheng opposite him was no better than him.
“How is that possible?” How could such an easy-to-get-together companion in the game be the same person as the thorn-covered guy in front of him.
“Yes, how is that possible?” Cheng Yan looked at Lin Sheng for a long time and couldn’t help but ask, “Shouldn’t you be a poor student from a family with many children on a remote planet?”
“You poor student, where did you get the false news?” Lin Sheng asked with a frown, who spread the rumors to him?
“That’s not what you said…”
“When did I say that?”
“But… your name isn’t…” Cheng Yan was stunned mid-sentence. Yes, he did not say that. He only said that the name of his game came from a poem called “Slow Voice” in his hometown. He had never heard of this name before and subconsciously thought that it was the culture of a remote area.
However, for the entrance exam, I had read the history of Changhua Star, but I had never heard of this poem.
This is too niche, who would have thought.
“Name?” Lin Sheng remembered it after Cheng Yan reminded him. He mentioned it casually at that time, but he didn’t expect that it would lay such a big hole for him now, but he really didn’t know how to explain it. Could it be related to his previous life?
Although he was a little confused by the current situation, he was not completely stupid yet.
Is it possible to say this?
Fortunately, Cheng Yan didn’t intend to pursue the matter. After all, there were obviously more important issues that needed to be resolved.
“Then… now that we have met, what should we… do now?”
What happened was beyond everyone’s expectations. Originally, Cheng Yan thought that when he saw Sheng Sheng, he could inquire about his situation in detail and make some insinuations. When the time came for his father to help poor students, his goals would be more precise.
Now it seems that not only is the other party not a poor student, but he is even a second-generation soldier, and he is also a second-generation soldier who had a conflict with him when they first met.
But… I really don’t hate him. After leaving the Li family, Cheng Yan didn’t want to have anything to do with the military. Of course, if it was news about the demise of the Li family, he would be particularly happy to inquire about it.
But the sound…he is different from those beasts of the Li family.
At least it’s different in the game.
Reality… Cheng Yan lowered his head and quietly raised his eyelids to look at the other side.
Why did it happen to be him?
Lin Sheng saw that the roommate opposite him lowered his head, obviously leaving the decision-making power to himself, and sighed helplessly: “It’s not a problem to stand here all the time. Let’s go back to the dormitory first.”
“That’s right… let’s go back to the dormitory first.” Cheng Yan said calmly.
After all, there was no need for them to leave the house in the first place.
On the way back this time, the two finally began to walk side by side, but they remained silent along the way.
The social distance is much closer, but the atmosphere is even worse than before.
It wasn’t until he returned to the dormitory that Lin Sheng leaned against the closed door and broke the silence: “Is it because you disliked me so much at the beginning because my father is a soldier?”
Although the fact that their roommates were netizens who played games together made them both very embarrassed – after all, they had been bickering with each other in the morning and sincerely hoped that the other would move out of the dormitory quickly.
However, Lin Sheng finally understood why Cheng Yan was so rude to him when they first met. He was not targeting him alone. He disliked everyone who had anything to do with the army equally.
“He’s not a soldier, my neighbor is a military cadet, but your father is an officer, and…” Cheng Yan turned his head away uncomfortably, “And he knows that scumbag.”
“Scum? Who?” Lin Sheng asked with a frown.
In his mind, there was no way his father could be associated with these two words. Although he was slightly rebellious in some aspects, his father still deserved the word integrity.
Cheng Yan looked at Lin Sheng, who was leaning against the door of the dormitory with his arms folded. He felt a little uncomfortable for some reason. He always felt as if he was being interrogated.
His eyes glanced uncomfortably to the side. After grabbing the pillow beside the bed and holding it in his arms, this inexplicable feeling subsided a little.
“Sound.” However, he got stuck as soon as he opened his mouth. In the past, it was no problem to call him this in the game, but now in this situation, this call is inappropriate.
In this situation… their relationship is not actually that close.
“What’s the matter? Keep talking.”
“I want to ask you something. It’s about the army. Tell me the truth.” Cheng Yan was a little awkward when he spoke, but he had to know the answer.
“After all, I’m not a soldier, and I don’t know much. And if it involves a confidentiality agreement, I can’t tell you.” Lin Sheng replied simply.
Growing up in a military family, he knew what to say and what not to say.
“It probably has nothing to do with the confidentiality agreement. Are you…” Cheng Yan wrung the pillow with his hands, looking hesitant.
“You ask directly, don’t twist the pillow, it’s about to be scratched by you.” Seeing how awkward the other party was, Lin Sheng couldn’t help but remind him.
“Oh, oh.” After letting go of the pillow that he had ravaged for a long time, Cheng Yan finally made up his mind and said, “Do you know Li Jinghua?”
“Li Jinghua?”
“Yes.” Cheng Yan stared at Lin Sheng, afraid of missing any expression on his face.
“I seem to have heard this name before.” Lin Sheng murmured to himself.
Cheng Yan’s heart dropped to the bottom.
“Are they from the Gu Yanxing Li family? If it is this family, I don’t know much about their family because my father doesn’t like them very much.”
“Don’t like it?” Cheng Yan raised his head suddenly, and his originally gray eyes lit up instantly.
“Yes, after all, the Li family represents the old aristocracy of the empire, and has always been at odds with the emerging alliance forces in the Zerg war. Moreover, their family has always rested on its laurels. Not only does it not seek to make progress, it also allows the family’s children to use the resources of their ancestors to dominate. This kind of 250-year-old family will be finished sooner or later.” Lin Sheng repeated what his father once said to him.
After saying that, he suddenly seemed to realize something. He looked at Cheng Yan and asked directly: “The person you mentioned before who has been bullying you is not from the Li family.”
“Yes.” Cheng Yan responded in a low voice, and at the same time, he felt a sense of joy in his heart. It turned out that Lin Sheng’s father had a bad relationship with the Li family.
Speaking of which, the Li family will be doomed sooner or later… Did Teacher Lu also say this when he saved himself from the siege?
“Shengsheng, are there differences within the army?” Cheng Yan suddenly asked.
“Yes, didn’t I just say that? The old aristocrats of the empire and the alliance army formed to resist during the Zerg War. It is normal for the old and new forces to dislike each other.”
Any citizen with even a little knowledge of this matter would know about it. Of course, this should not include an ordinary college student who needs to go to school.
“Which faction does Teacher Lu belong to? The Alliance Army?” Cheng Yan thought of Lu Shoucheng and the Li family’s lack of dealing with each other, and guessed that he knew that the Li family was once an imperial noble, but that was all.
When he was in the Li family, his activities had been restricted, and he really didn’t understand the old grudges that these noble children should understand.
“Yes.” Lin Sheng nodded.
“I remember that you and Teacher Lu have a very good relationship.” Cheng Yan cautiously probed.
“My father used to be a soldier under Teacher Lu. The teacher often came to my home as a guest. Because I was precocious, he thought I had a good talent and wanted to lure me into the army since I was a child.” Lin Sheng said pretending to be humble.
Sometimes being too talented is a troubling thing. There is nothing you can do about a genius like yourself being competed for.
“That’s it.” Cheng Yan’s whole body relaxed. After a while, he said with some embarrassment, “I saw your father and Li Jinghua standing together before. They looked very familiar. I thought you and the Li family were in the same group.”
“Um… that’s necessary communication. There’s nothing you can do about it. You can’t just show your face to others in public.” Lin Sheng explained.
This is what his father said when he complained to his father at home.
“Really? I don’t quite understand this.” Cheng Yan lowered his head and said, his voice getting smaller and smaller, “I’m sorry for treating you so poorly when we first met.”
Seeing Cheng Yan’s low-profile apology, Lin Sheng didn’t know what to say. He could only try his best to organize his words: “This is not entirely your fault. After all, you have had that kind of experience before, so it is normal for you to subconsciously guard against me.”
Before going out this morning, who could arrive first would end up in this situation.
“Yes.” Cheng Yan responded in a low voice, and then looked at Lin Sheng with an unclear look, “And, can you also sit down?”
“Huh?” Lin Sheng was a little confused.
“I feel a little awkward when you keep standing like this, like you’re in a police station.”
“Ah?” Lin Sheng looked at himself doubtfully and suddenly realized that he seemed to be subconsciously imitating his father.
“…Oh, okay.” He put down his arms awkwardly and planned to walk back to his seat. However, before he took two steps, a “dong-dong-dong” knock on the door came from behind.
“How about… I open the door first?” Lin Sheng stopped, raised his right arm slightly and pointed to the door.
“Uh…then you…go?” Cheng Yan agreed hesitantly, although he didn’t know what he was hesitating about.
