Wild School Boy Was Picked Up And Brought Home By His Professor Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Chapter 22 He’s back

Human beings’ joys and sorrows are not the same, and neither are diseases.

After running back from the hotel in the rain that night, a fierce cold came. First it was an itchy throat, then a low fever, and finally developed into a stubborn cough.

He had no choice but to take sick leave, shut himself in his apartment, and hide in his cave like a wounded animal.

The physical discomfort is bearable, but the real discomfort is the sudden insomnia.

As soon as you close your eyes, those fragmented memories will play automatically:

The back of Shen Beidao cooking porridge in the kitchen, the dark marks on Shen Beidao’s shoulders that were wet when he held an umbrella on a rainy night, the shadow stretched by the street lights when Shen Beidao was waiting for him…

Although we had known each other for only two months, these images were so clear that they seemed to be engraved in my mind, burning over and over again and refusing to fade.

“I’m really worthless.” Lin Yi was wrapped in a blanket and nestled on the sofa, talking to himself in the empty living room.

The doorbell also rang at this time, followed by the sound of entering the password [Zi~The door lock has been opened]

I saw Zhang Zexuan and Li Rui squeeze in carrying large and small bags.

Lin Yi was trying to get up from the sofa. He was wearing wrinkled pajamas, his hair was as messy as a bird’s nest, and his face was sickly flushed.

“Oh my god! Lin Yi, are you trying to become an immortal?” Zhang Zexuan put the shopping bag on the ground and reached out to touch Lin Yi’s forehead, “It’s so hot? Have you taken your medicine?”

“Eat…” Lin Yi replied in a hoarse voice, hiding back, “Why are you here?”

“Your Majesty, you forget things. Now we are colleagues in the same company. Can I not know that you asked for leave? Besides, you didn’t answer the phone. I was really afraid that something would happen to you, so I came directly to the door.”

As Zhang Zexuan spoke, he walked to the kitchen, “It happens to be Saturday. Li Rui and I went downstairs to buy some food and cook you a meal.”

Li Rui is much quieter.

He put the fruits he brought in the refrigerator and poured a glass of warm water for Lin Yi. Then he sat down on the sofa and looked at Lin Yi carefully: “Why are your eyes swollen? It can’t be influenza A, right? Many people in Jiangzhou seem to have influenza A recently.”

Lin Yi twitched his lips, “It’s okay, just a common cold.”

The sound of Zhang Zexuan washing vegetables came from the kitchen, and the sound of rushing water filled the silence of the living room.

Li Rui: “You haven’t recovered this week. Your mental state is still so bad and your lips are very dry. I don’t think it’s a common cold. Why don’t you go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow?”

Lin Yi was currently sitting on the sofa with a blanket wrapped around him, wearing a mask to prevent the infection from spreading to Li Rui. “It’s not a cold, I’m heartbroken.”

The sound was almost inaudible.

But Zhang Zexuan’s ears are particularly good at times like this.

He rushed out of the kitchen holding a spatula, his eyes widened: “What? When did you fall in love? How come we didn’t know?”

“I want to wait until I’m stable before I tell you.” Lin Yi’s voice was lowered a little, and his eyes were obviously evasive. “The result…it was over in less than two months.”

“Three months? Do you think you are pregnant? Can’t you say you are afraid of miscarriage in the first three months?” Zhang Zexuan’s mouth is always faster than his brain.

Li Rui glared at him, stood up and pushed him to the kitchen: “Go and wash the vegetables, don’t make a mess here.”

After Zhang Zexuan reluctantly returned to the kitchen, Li Rui sat down again.

He handed Lin Yi a tissue and said in a very soft voice: “Is the other party the game netizen you mentioned before? Or is it someone else?”

Lin Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly: “You may not believe it, but I am from your school.”

The sound of a spatula falling to the floor came from the kitchen.

Zhang Zexuan poked his head out again: “From Jiangzhou University? Who? Which college? Did he bully you? Do you want me to beat him up for you?”

“Forget it.” Lin Yi buried his face in the blanket and rubbed his cheeks, “It’s all over.”

Zhang Zexuan put down what he was holding and began to deliver “information” to the person on the phone.

Li Rui was silent for a while. Looking at Lin Yi, he felt uncomfortable asking any more, so he took out his phone and started typing.

Lin Yi glanced at the screen and asked casually: “What about school?”

“Well, it’s almost the internship period recently. Regarding various things in the college, my instructor asked me to compile the information of the whole class and send it to him in the evening.”

Lin Yi’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He forced himself to ask in the calmest tone: “Your mentor? Is he the one you took photos on stage with last time?”

“Yes.” When Li Rui mentioned the name, there was natural respect in his tone, “How is it? Isn’t he handsome? Many girls in our school like him. Other teachers have empty seats in open classes. When Teacher Shen comes to class, the door is packed with people.”

“A lot of girls like him? Didn’t you say that he and the female teacher are in a relationship?”

“It seems not.”

“Li Rui took out his phone, clicked on a video and handed it to Lin Yi, “Look at this marketing account. I took a video of Teacher Shen’s speech a few days ago. It has almost over a million likes. The author specifically marked it in the comment area: “I asked Teacher Shen. He is currently single.””

“I think they are not together, and I go to activities with my tutor every day. It seems that Teacher Fang Yu is only there occasionally, but I am only his student. I don’t dare to ask about this kind of gossip. Teacher Shen is still very serious in private.”

Lin Yi took the phone.

On the screen was a clip of Shen Beidao’s speech at the school anniversary.

He stood under the spotlight, and the lines of his profile were particularly clear in the camera.

The video is paired with soothing pop music, which makes his voice even deeper and more melodious.

The footage was obviously carefully edited, with several close-up shots capturing his fingers pushing up his glasses, his Adam’s apple rolling slightly during his speech, and his calm eyes when he occasionally looked at the camera…

The comment area is already buzzing, and the number of likes is still rising at a speed visible to the naked eye:

[Hot Comment No. 1] What kind of magical teacher is this?I want all his information within three minutes [love] [love]

[Reply] Are you spreading rumors?Didn’t the author of the video specifically mark “It has been confirmed that Teacher Shen is currently single”?It’s right there in the introduction!

…

Lin Yi’s finger stopped on the screen.He saw that the video was released at 11:27 pm on the day of the school anniversary.

Exactly two hours after he ran out of the hotel.

An inexplicable anger suddenly surged up.

He hadn’t officially said they were breaking up, and Shen Beidao was eager to announce that he was single?

Who was it announced to?Should it be shown to that teacher Fang, or to all potential admirers?

Is he so shameless?

Lin Yi became more and more angry as he thought about it, his breathing began to become rapid, and he couldn’t stop coughing.

Li Rui quickly poured him another glass of water: “You really need to go to the hospital. This won’t work. Stop coughing up pneumonia.”

Lin Yi: I am angry at the scumbag!Is this really my retribution for this world?

Not long after, Zhao Qing and Zhou Ziyang also came.

They came from a neighboring city and took the high-speed train for more than two hours.

Zhao Qing gave Lin Yi a firm hug as soon as she entered the door. She was not afraid of being infected at all: “I didn’t say anything when I was sick! If Zhang Zexuan hadn’t yelled in the group, we wouldn’t have known!”

Zhou Ziyang was more practical and brought a few boxes of cold medicine: “My sister is a doctor. I asked her to prepare some medicine for you. It is better than what you can buy in the pharmacy.”

Four people surrounded Lin Yi, and the living room suddenly became lively.

They were eating family-style hot pot, and Zhang Zexuan started to talk about the weird colleagues in the internship company. Several people laughed one after another, diluting the sick atmosphere in the room.

Lin Yi was sitting in the middle, listening to the voices of his friends, and suddenly felt his nose was a little sore.

Even if you fall out of love or get sick, at least you still have friends by your side.

Seems not bad either.

In the evening, Zhou Ziyang left beforehand.

Zhang Zexuan had to go to work tomorrow, and Li Rui had to go back to school to hand in materials in the evening. They warned him for a long time before going out and leaving.

Zhao Qing stayed until the end.

When the door closed and the living room became quiet again, she sat next to Lin Yi and looked at him seriously: “Lin Yi, just forget about what happened last time. I have a new boyfriend now, who is much more handsome than you.”

Lin Yi hadn’t smiled much all day, but he couldn’t help laughing when Zhao Qing said something so sudden: “Thank you, Sister Qing, for recognizing my appearance. I also wish you and your handsome boyfriend a happy marriage.”

“Shut up, I’m a non-marriage person. Once the novelty wears off, I’ll dump him and find another one.”

Zhao Qing looked him up and down. Coming from a woman’s intuition, he knew that Lin Yi had something on his mind. After thinking about it for a while, he asked, “You still can’t forget your ex-boyfriend, right?”

“Huh?” Lin Yi was stunned for a moment.

“Chen Zhinan.”

“Oh, I really forgot if you didn’t tell me. Since we can be friends for many years, it also proves that I am not a long-term romantic person.”

“Do you believe me?” Zhao Qing curled her lips, “He came back from studying in Japan last week and said he would develop in Jiangzhou in the future. He plans to open a studio.”

“Very good.”

“The most important thing is that he asked me about you. I think back then, you two got together because of my matchmaking… We just haven’t seen each other for more than three years. Have you really forgotten about him?”

Forgot?

How could I forget.

We haven’t seen each other for more than three years, and it’s only been more than three years.

Three years ago, it was the same autumn, with a similar coolness and sunshine in the air.

It was the most beautiful season in Jiangzhou. The whole city seemed to be soaked with paintbrushes. The trees on both sides of the streets were burning in layers. The bright oranges, brilliant goldens and unyielding greens were intertwined, which was very similar to their bright and exciting life.

The sweet aroma of dry plants floats in the air, mixed with the caramel smell from the roadside sugar-roasted chestnut stall…

Lin Yi was wearing a high school uniform and walking side by side with Chen Zhinan on the way to school.

They had just finished two consecutive months of “closed training for the Provincial Art Examination Sprint” and finally had a rare “home week”.

They passed by a milk tea shop on the street, ordered food, queued up, and waited for two cups of hot milk tea.

【Please pick up the meal No. 444】

【Please pick up the meal No. 445】

Lin Yi walked in front, holding milk tea in his hand, “It’s finally homecoming week. Why do I have to take the provincial exam for two consecutive months? I don’t even have to change my clothes!”

“You don’t know, I bought a cigarette for the uncle who was guarding the gate and asked him to let me go home to change clothes at noon. He insisted on not wanting it and asked me to take it away, but he wouldn’t let me leave the school.

But my home is less than one kilometer away from this crappy training studio!After going back and forth for at most twenty minutes, the uncle wouldn’t let me go out. It was really amazing!”

Chen Zhinan walked next to him, holding their schoolbags in his hands.He was almost at the same level as Lin Yi, and his profile looked particularly gentle in the sunset: “What about the cigarette?”

“It’s in my schoolbag, and the supermarket man won’t return it to me.”

“You didn’t make a scene in the supermarket?”

“I was just about to greet his relatives when I turned around and saw the head teacher… I didn’t want to be called over to talk.”

“The head teacher likes you the most.” Chen Zhinan said with a smile, “Since you study so well, he might… give you a big fight.”

“What are you talking about!” Lin Yi took a few steps back, hooked Chen Zhinan’s shoulders, and strangled his neck like a punishment, “Who are you talking to? Are you talking to me?”

While laughing, their eyes met.

The light of the sunset happened to shine into Chen Zhinan’s eyes. Those eyes, which were always gentle, were filled with emotions that Lin Yi couldn’t understand.

Passionate, yet restrained, gentle, yet hot.

Lin Yi’s heartbeat suddenly became chaotic. He let go of his hand and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened: “Tonight, are you going to my house to do your homework?”

“Well, okay.” Chen Zhinan’s voice sounded behind him, a little deeper than usual.

They are the top students in the class and the two most proud students of the art teacher.

Teachers often compare their paintings together, but they always say they can’t tell the difference.

They are equally good, just with slightly different styles.

Lin Yi’s paintings are passionate and bold in color, while Chen Zhinan’s paintings are delicate and calm, paying attention to details.

Dim lights at night are most likely to make teenagers confused and obsessed.

They were sitting in Lin Yi’s room. A3 drawing papers were spread on the floor. No one picked them up and put them on the drawing folder.

Lin Yi suddenly took out the unsent pack of cigarettes from his schoolbag.

“What are you doing?” Chen Zhinan frowned.

“Try it.” Lin Yi took out one and lit it awkwardly.

He took a sip and immediately choked and coughed violently, tears streaming down his face.

Chen Zhinan quickly handed him the water: “Don’t try it, this is not a good thing.”

Lin Yi stubbornly shook his head. He stared at the extinguishing fire between his fingers. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Zhinan: “Before you become an adult, you must start learning what adults do.”

He took another puff.

This time he seemed to have learned it. The smoke was slowly exhaled, filling the narrow room into a hazy mist.

Chen Zhinan looked at him.

The soft light shone on Lin Yi’s side face, illuminating his slightly trembling eyelashes and illuminating his eyes that were slightly squinted by the smoke.

At that moment, Lin Yi lost his usual flamboyance, revealing a strange sexiness between a boy and a man.

Chen Zhinan leaned over and kissed Lin Yi gently on the cheek.

A very light kiss, like a gust of wind.

Both men froze.

Time seemed to stand still in that moment.

Smoke, the ticking clock on the wall, the occasional sound of cars passing by outside the window… all the sounds and images are blurred, leaving only the sound of each other’s breathing close at hand.

Then Lin Yi put out the cigarette, turned around, held Chen Zhinan’s face, and kissed him.

It was a smoky, raw and passionate kiss.Teeth are knocked together, breathing is tangled, no one knows the technique, all depends on instinct…

They fell on the bed, and their school uniform jackets were thrown randomly on the floor…

At that moment, the door was pushed open.

Lin Yi’s mother stood at the door, holding a fruit plate in her hand.

The smile on her face froze and then broke as she took in the sight of the room.

The fruit plate fell to the ground and the fruit rolled all over the floor.

What followed was a chaotic nightmare.

The mother’s cries, the hysterical curses, the accusations against Lin Yi’s father, the despair of the family…

All the emotions rushed in like a tsunami, almost drowning Lin Yi.

But he was strangely calm.

When his mother was tired of crying and collapsed on the ground, Lin Yi walked over, knelt in front of her, and held her hand.

“Mom.” His voice was soft but clear, “Get a divorce.”

Mother raised her red and swollen eyes to look at him.

“Don’t wrong yourself for me or anyone else.” Lin Yi continued, pretending to be a man, but his voice could not hide the trembling, “I have known about you and my dad for a long time.”

Yes, he already knew it.

He knew that his father had someone outside, that his mother had maintained a seemingly intact home for him, and that this home had long since begun to rot from the inside.

If someone has to bear all the mistakes, let him bear them.

If the mother’s only hope is him, let that hope be dashed.

At least this way, my mother can leave without worries and pursue her own happiness.

Mother’s tears welled up again.

But this time, there seemed to be something different in her eyes.

It was also in this hospital that he sat on the iron chair at the door of the consulting room…

Listening to his mother asking the doctor: “My child is sick and mentally ill. He is a boy and he kissed another boy. Doctor…how should I treat this? He is still so young…”

“Please ask patient No. 60 to come to clinic No. 1 for treatment.”

“Please ask patient No. 60 to come to clinic No. 1 for treatment.”

The sound of the hospital’s radio brought Lin Yi back to reality from his memories.

Lin Yi sat on a chair in the waiting area, holding the registration form in his hand, and realized that his number had finally been called.

In the clinic, after a careful examination, the doctor said: “The upper respiratory tract infection is not influenza A. I will prescribe you some medicine and take it on time for a week. If you are cured, there will be no need for reexamination.”

While typing on the computer, the doctor asked, “Have you taken any medicine in the past two days?”

Lin Yi: “No.”

Doctor: “You haven’t taken any medicine?”

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment: “I drank a bag of isatis root before I got sick. Does that count?”

It was prepared for him by Shen Beidao.It rained that night, and Shen Beidao was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he specially washed the brandy root and handed it to him.

He remembered the temperature of Shen Beidao’s fingers when they touched the cup, and the gentle tone when Shen Beidao said “prevent colds”.

The doctor glanced at him and said: “Pay attention to rest these days. I see that your mental state is not very good. Young people should also pay attention to their health. Eat and sleep well. Your body is your own.”

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile, “I know.”

He took the doctor’s prescription and paid for it.

There were many people queuing up. He stood in the queue and looked at the gray sky outside the window. He suddenly thought why is life so tiring?

After waiting in line for several minutes, it was his turn.

He took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code on the operating machine.

The machine hummed and the bill slowly came out from the bottom.

At this time, a hand with sharp joints stretched out in advance and gently took away the list.

Lin Yi looked up.

Shen Beidao stood in front of him, wearing a dark gray coat and his eyes as calm as ever behind his gold-rimmed glasses.

He held Lin Yi’s bill in his hand, looked at the diagnosis on it, and frowned slightly.

“Upper respiratory tract infection.” Shen Beidao’s voice was very low, “Why did it take so long to come to see you?”

Lin Yi froze on the spot, unable to say a word.

The noisy voices in the hospital, the smell of disinfectant, the gloomy sky outside the window…all sensory inputs were blurred at this moment.

Only Shen Beidao’s face, Shen Beidao’s voice, and the familiar, cold and gentle breath of Shen Beidao were left in his world.

He wanted to say, “None of your business.”

I want to say “it’s none of your business”.

I want to say “Give me the list”.

But my throat seemed to be blocked by something and I couldn’t make any sound.

Shen Beidao looked at his pale face, the dark blue under his eyes, and his slightly trembling lips, his eyes deepened.

“Lin Yi,” he called his name, with a tiredness in his voice that Lin Yi had never heard before, “let’s talk.”
