He Li'an's Body!

Zhu Wen was really strange.

"Is it tight enough?"

Hearing He Li'an's voice, Yu An withdrew his gaze and looked down at his tie.

He Li'an was adjusting the tightness of his tie. To accommodate Yu An's height, he bent over slightly, his long, well-proportioned fingers pinching the tie as his deeply sculpted eyes watched him questioningly.

They were very close. Yu An caught a faint woody scent on He Li'an.

It smelled nice. He flared his nostrils twice, his eyes lighting up. "You smell really good."

He Li'an's fingers paused. He quickly lowered his eyes, his voice quiet. "I used a little perfume."

"Perfume can smell like wood?" Yu An had never used perfume and was curious.

"Mm." He Li'an did not ask about the tie's tightness again. He slipped a finger inside the tie to make sure it would not choke Yu An's neck, then straightened up.

The more Yu An smelled it, the better it seemed. He could not help stretching out his neck and following He Li'an's body to sniff him.

He Li'an raised his hand, then seemed to think it inappropriate. Instead, he held out one finger and pressed it against Yu An's forehead, stopping him from leaning any farther forward.

Yu An looked up at him blankly, his expression innocent.

He Li'an tapped his forehead. "Do you want to try some?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yu An nodded eagerly.

He Li'an laughed. "I've already used it. Would you mind?"

"I don't mind. It's been used, not eaten." Yu An had never used perfume, but he still knew the basics of how it was used.

He Li'an pressed his lips into a straight line and stared at him for two seconds. "I'll get it."

After He Li'an brought over the perfume, Yu An tipped his head back and pointed at the space beneath his nose. "Spray it here."

"Huh?" He Li'an had just removed the cap, and a rare look of confusion appeared on his face.

Yu An said, "That way, I can smell it all day!"

"..."

He Li'an fell silent, looking at Yu An as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

"Hurry up. We'll be late for school." Yu An urged him.

Still looking baffled, He Li'an sprayed a little perfume onto his fingertip and lightly dabbed it twice beneath Yu An's nose.

Yu An sniffed twice. "Smells good."

He Li'an said nothing and silently sprayed a little perfume onto Yu An's wrists and collar.

In truth, he could not really understand many of Yu An's thoughts and actions.

Yet for some inexplicable reason, he felt that Yu An had his own logic.

At the entrance to St. Phelien Noble Academy.

"Young master, Young Master Yu An, please get out."

Zhu Wen had come along to take them to school. He respectfully opened the car door and invited them out.

He Li'an got out first, then reached out to help Yu An.

Yu An still wore a stabilizing brace on his foot. His injury had healed considerably, and he could barely walk now, but he could not engage in strenuous activity and still needed time to recover.

The moment one of his feet touched the ground, he heard excited, frenzied shouts.

"It's Senior He Li'an!"

"Ah, it really is him!"

"He really looks so handsome and gentle..."

Yu An stiffened.

That familiar fanatical, dangerous atmosphere was exactly the same as the day he had been knocked down and stepped on a week ago.

He Li'an's voice came from above his head. "It's okay. Don't be afraid. They won't come over."

He was not smiling, and his expression was slightly dark.

As if he were unhappy.

But when Yu An looked carefully, He Li'an had returned to his usual gentle appearance.

Once Yu An was standing steadily, He Li'an put some distance between them. "I'll take you to class first."

Yu An shook his head. "I'll go by myself."

The incident of being knocked down and stepped on that day had left quite a shadow over him.

He Li'an was simply too popular.

Popular to an absurd degree.

"Alright. Be careful." He Li'an did not force him. "Call me if anything happens."

Yu An gave a soft hum and turned to leave.

Still worried, He Li'an took several long strides after him. "Should I come get you for lunch?"

"Just give me your meal card." Yu An held out his hand to him.

He could cling to He Li'an because he was injured, but he was not a masochist. At school, he still wanted to stay as far away from He Li'an as possible.

Perhaps because Yu An had rejected him so many times, He Li'an was getting used to it.

He took out his meal card and placed it in Yu An's palm. "You can eat at the school's light-meal restaurant. The food there should suit your tastes."

"Okay, thanks." Yu An tucked the meal card into his pocket as he turned and left.

He Li'an had originally wanted to give him a few more reminders, but he could only let it go.

Turning around, he saw Zhu Wen waiting nearby, and his eyes lit up. "Follow him and quietly see him off."

"Alright," Zhu Wen said.

"Wait." He Li'an stopped Zhu Wen. "I should go instead."

Zhu Wen drew back his foot.

He Li'an lifted his own foot, then lowered it again. "What if he notices me?"

Judging by his words and behavior, Yu An was a very innocent child, but He Li'an could tell that he was actually very smart and alert.

Zhu Wen spoke faintly. "Young master, you currently look like a parent sending their child to kindergarten for the first time and suffering from separation anxiety."

He Li'an was somewhat annoyed. "Zhu Wen, you talk too much. I need to go to class. Go back."

Yu An actually had no idea where he was supposed to go for class.

He found a flowerbed and sat down, intending to use his phone to search online for He Li'an's major.

It was a habit he had developed from living alone for so long.

At first, he bought books to read. Later, as the internet became more developed, it was more convenient to look up answers online.

He had just opened the browser when a shadow fell over his head, and several pairs of legs entered his line of sight.

Yu An slowly looked up and realized he was surrounded.

They wore the same uniforms as him and looked aggressive. It was obvious they had come to cause trouble for him.

Could it be that they were going to bully him?

"You're Yu An." The boy in the center looked down at him with extreme rudeness, practically looking at him through his nostrils.

Yu An was a little unhappy, but he did not show it.

There were too many of them, and he was afraid of getting beaten up.

Without drawing attention to it, Yu An propped up his phone screen and switched to his contacts. His gaze swept over the other boy's name badge. "Mm."

The guy looking at him through his nostrils was called Song Yuechi.

Just as Yu An was about to call He Li'an, Song Yuechi suddenly cried out.

"Ah!"

"Your phone case!"

Song Yuechi, who had just been looking down his nose at him, suddenly covered his face with both hands in shy delight. "Where did you buy this phone case? Can you sell it to me? I'll pay any price!"

"?"

Yu An looked at his phone case in confusion.

Was it something valuable or unusual?

When Yu An said nothing, Song Yuechi assumed he disagreed and hurriedly said, "How about one hundred thousand? I know one hundred thousand isn't much, but that's all the allowance I have left for this week."

Yu An slowly tilted his head, invisible question marks popping up one after another above it.

One hundred thousand, not much, this week, all he had left.

This absurd world...

It was! So great!

Yu An briskly removed the phone case and opened the account app on his phone. "Transfer one hundred thousand into this account."

Song Yuechi transferred the money on the spot, pressing the phone case against his cheek with a look of infatuation.

He did not look very smart.

After checking his balance, Yu An asked, "Why do you like this phone case so much?"

Song Yuechi's face flushed red with excitement. "This is Senior He Li'an's body! Who wouldn't like it?"
