Did you tell Gu Xingye about our relationship??
Yan Heqing didn't reply and turned off his phone.
--
Lin Fengzhi didn't receive a reply from Yan Heqing; instead, Gu Xingye called right after.
Lin Fengzhi didn't want to accept the answer; he didn't know how to explain it.
He didn't intend to hide his background from Gu Xingye. If there was anyone in the world who could share all his secrets, it would definitely be Gu Xingye. It's just that he missed several opportunities, and now he finds it difficult to speak up.
And because of him, Yan Heqing and Gu Xingye became acquainted.
Lin Fengzhi admitted that he was stingy.
It's because Yan Heqing is so outstanding that he has the magic to make everyone like him.
My older brother, my parents, and even my future sister-in-law, who has never met Yan Heqing, all mentioned wanting to see Yan Heqing when they came over for a meal.
The strawberries in his mouth suddenly lost their sweetness, and Lin Fengzhi was still carrying a large box in his arms.
He was writing in his diary when he got hungry, so he went downstairs to find something to eat. He had just taken out a box of strawberries and started eating when Gu Xingye suddenly sent him WeChat asking if he knew Yan Heqing, which made him angry.
It must have been Yan Heqing who told Gu Xingye!
Although it was true, how could Yan Heqing tell his friend such a thing without his permission? It showed him no respect whatsoever!
He could already guess that Yan Heqing discovered his classmate was Gu Xingye, a prominent figure in the biology department, and wanted to use him as an excuse to build a relationship.
Lin Fengzhi, in a fit of temper, threw a box of large, red strawberries into the trash can, answered the phone in a huff, and vented repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Yan Heqing is my brother! My twin brother! Are you satisfied now?!"
Gu Xingye had only assumed Yan Heqing was Lin Fengzhi's relative, never expecting they were twins. He exclaimed, "Then you two really don't look alike at all; you must be fraternal twins."
He didn't mention adoption, Lin Fengzhi's anger subsided by half, but he was still resentful. "What do you mean? He's so much better than me, isn't he!"
Gu Xingye chuckled, "See, you're getting worked up, aren't you? That's the difference; your brother is more composed than you."
Every sentence he spoke mentioned Yan Heqing, Lin Fengzhi didn't want to talk to him anymore. "I don't want to talk to you anymore, I'm hanging up."
"Hey, I have something to do." Gu Xingye called out to him.
"Explain!"
"Our class is going on a week-long field trip tomorrow afternoon. The signal is poor in the mountains, so we might lose contact."
Lin Fengzhi was a little unhappy again. Yan Heqing hadn't told him he was going on a field internship for a whole week. Wasn't Yan Heqing worried that he wouldn't be able to contact him and would get anxious?
He said sullenly, "I understand."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "You know Yan Heqing is my older brother, so... maybe you should take care of him a little bit."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Fengzhi stared at the chat box with Yan Heqing, but Yan Heqing still hadn't replied.
He's probably too guilty to reply.
Lin Fengzhi wronged. He rubbed his sore eyes hard, turned around to go upstairs, and saw Lin Fengyi standing at the kitchen door.
Lin Fengzhi doubly aggrieved and pitifully cried out, "Brother..."
Lin Fengyi was lost in thought, but upon hearing his voice, he snapped back to reality, "Huh? What did you say?"
"... You're all equally annoying!" Lin Fengzhi's temper flared even more, and he stepped forward and shoved Lin Fengyi aside.
" Zhizhi," Lin Fengyi called out to him.
Lin Fengzhi, his voice stiff. "What are you doing?"
"I heard you on the phone. Yan Heqing and Gu Xingye are in the same class?"
It's Yan Heqing again!
Why does everyone who contacts him ask about Yan Heqing?
Lin Fengzhi around and shoved Lin Fengyi, "If you care about him so much, go ask him yourself! It's so annoying!"
He stormed upstairs in a rage.
Lin Fengyi bumped into the door frame; his silk pajamas offered no cushioning, and both of his shoulder blades ached.
He grimaced, rubbing his shoulders with his hands crossed, completely oblivious, his mind preoccupied with something else.
Field internship, one week?
After giving Lin Fengyi a quick shoulder massage, he strode back to his room and made a phone call.

For their field trip, Class 2 of Life Sciences chartered a bus.
After school, we gathered at the side gate. Zhou Wuyou, clutching her suitcase, stood on tiptoe and peered out, but Yan Heqing hadn't arrived yet.
Zhan Pingting knew what she was thinking and teased her in a low voice, "So eager to see him?"
Zhou Wuyou answered frankly, "Yes." Still staring at the side door, her heart raced as she thought of the clean-cut, gentle young man. "I really like him. If you like him too, we'll compete fairly."
Zhan Pingting shrugged, "I never take on difficult challenges, those kinds of things..."

"We mere mortals are not worthy of her." She gently bumped her back and said with a smile, "This time I'll team up with Yan Heqing and help you create opportunities, how about a barbecue?"
Zhou Wuyou turned to look at her, his big eyes blinking. Zhan Pingting felt uneasy under his gaze and rubbed her arms. "What are you doing? Don't calculate..."
Zhou Wuyou suddenly hugged her. Zhan Pingting was less than 160 cm tall and petite, so Zhou Wuyou easily lifted her off the ground. "One meal isn't enough! A month! I'll treat you to a month's worth!"
Zhan Pingting chuckled, "Quickly put me down!" A moment later, she looked ahead with delight and quickly lowered her voice, "Hurry! Your unattainable beauty is here!"
Zhou Wuyou quickly let go, tugged at his clothes, and turned around.
Yan Heqing carried a plain-colored travel bag. He could feel Zhou Wuyou's intense gaze, but he couldn't give any response. He pretended not to notice and got into the car with his bag.
Zhou Wuyou was still standing there, but Zhan Pingting was even more anxious. She pushed her into the car, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and find a chance to sit together! I'll help you put your suitcase in!"
Zhou Wuyou finally moved, rushing onto the bus.
But she was too late.
Yan Heqing walked to the second-to-last row of double seats. There were plenty of seats, so he could sit alone in this row.
He had just put his travel bag down when someone pushed him from behind, causing him to stumble forward a few steps due to inertia.
He turned around, Gu Xingye had just sat down, his long legs braced against the back of the seat in front, blocking the aisle. He looked up and smiled, revealing a set of white teeth. "Good afternoon."

Yan Heqing lowered his eyes slightly, did not respond, and turned to sit down.
The car windows were large, fully enclosed glass. Yan Heqing opened his backpack, took out his earphones and put them on, then pulled out a book and began to read.
