Gu Xingye raised an eyebrow, ignoring him. He glanced at Yan Heqing's book, which was not a textbook or a professional book, but an original edition of Agatha's " The Murder of Roger Ackroyd," with a label from the Beijing University Library.
Do you enjoy watching suspense and mystery novels?
Gu Xingye was surprised, yet not entirely surprised. Yan Heqing was like a mystery book; the closer he got, the more mysterious he became, fueling his desire to explore further.
He wasn't embarrassed at all; he just stared straight at Yan Heqing and began to guess what kind of music Yan Heqing listened to.
Classical music? Light music?
It suits Yan Heqing's temperament.
However, Yan Heqing was unexpected; he appeared gentle and easy to talk to, but in reality, he was cold and kept people at arm's length.
Perhaps the contrast leads to a love of rock, blues, and jazz?
"Word."
Suddenly, those two quiet lips moved.
Gu Xingye reacted quickly, "Listening to words while reading a novel?" He smirked, "Multitasking, no wonder you were the top software engineer before."
Yang Rucheng said that Yan Heqing transferred to the Life Sciences Department with the highest final grade last semester.
He was being somewhat flattering to Yan Heqing; everyone likes to hear nice things, and he didn't believe Yan Heqing was an exception.
Yan Heqing was truly an exception. He turned the page, his long eyelashes barely blinking, his expression calm and aloof. "If you're curious about my relationship with Lin Fengzhi, ask him yourself."
Gu Xingye raised an eyebrow. He didn't care whether Lin Fengzhi was adopted or not, much less be curious about their relationship. "I'm curious about you," he said with a smile. "Did I offend you in any way? You don't seem to like me very much."
In the original text, Yan Heqing and Gu Xingye had no interaction whatsoever.
If we have to include it, it's that Lu Muchi would occasionally go crazy over Lin Fengzhi and Gu Xingye having a meal, watching a movie, or playing ice hockey, and then take his anger out on him.
He didn't dislike Gu Xingye.
To him, Gu Xingye was just an ordinary stranger.
"No."
Yan Heqing raised his voice.
His headphones are cheap, and they leak sound when the volume is slightly higher, so he usually adjusts them to a volume that's just enough for him to hear clearly.
But then he heard Gu Xingye say, "Since there isn't one, how about we become friends?"
On the page is a sentence from the novel.
To the detective, everyone involved in the case is a stranger.
Yan Heqing replied calmly, "I don't make friends."
This was the first field trip for the Life Sciences Class 2. The atmosphere on the bus was lively, with most of them enthusiastically discussing having a barbecue for their first meal in the mountains.
"I heard from my senior that the Mount Huai farm grows broad beans, potatoes, and purple sweet potatoes! They'd taste amazing roasted."
"Yes, it seems they also raised experimental chickens, and after the experiments, they were roasted with cumin?"
"Who's going to eat chicken when we're in the mountains? The temperature Mount Huai's several degrees higher. Let's go fishing and shrimping in the river for a nice snack."
"I'm different, I only want to see climbing roses! I've seen the photos, Florentina is so beautiful!"
The second-to-last row was the only quiet one.
Gu Xingye laughed incredulously, then didn't ask any more questions. He adjusted his posture, leaned back in his chair, took out an eye mask and put it on. After a while, he, who should have been asleep, suddenly blurted out a sentence.
No one is immune to the need for friends.
Yan Heqing didn't reply, and turned another page.
After a five-hour drive, around 10 p. m., we finally arrived at the Beijing University campsite halfway up Mount Huai.
Compared to the vibrant energy of the afternoon, the bus was now eerily quiet. As soon as the bus came to a stop and the doors opened, several boys rushed off and began to vomit loudly.
The road to the foot of the mountain was fine, but the section leading into the mountain was a dirt road. It had rained during the day, and the road was full of potholes. What should have been a 40-minute drive took an extra half hour of bumpy travel.
Yan Heqing also feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
I inexplicably thought of that time I got seasick; the candy Lu Lin gave me was very helpful.
Gu Xingye stood up, glancing at Yan Heqing out of the corner of his eye. The car lights were already on, casting a bright white light on Yan Heqing, who was still wearing headphones. His profile remained as calm as ever. Gu Xingye withdrew his gaze, took long strides, and got out of the car first.
After most of his classmates had left, Yan Heqing took off his headphones and pulled a bag of candy from his backpack.
The first time he went to Lu Lin's place, the medicine he needed to take was very bitter, so Lu Lin prepared a packet of candy for him.
He didn't touch the bag of candy at that time.
Inside the shiny candy wrapper were colorful fruit candies. Yan Heqing tore open the wrapper and picked out an orange candy.
It should taste like oranges.
He unwrapped the candy, lowered his head slightly, and put it in his mouth. The refreshing sweet and sour orange flavor melted on his tongue, effectively easing the discomfort.
Yan Heqing put the remaining candy back in his bag, got up to take out his luggage, and was the last to get off the bus.
Several boys were still vomiting. The counselor was on the hood of the bus, shouting through a megaphone, "Don't wander off! It's dangerous in the mountains at night. Stay with me and we'll get to the campsite first. We need to pitch our tents before we can rest! Hurry!"
Yan Heqing was the last to arrive; they were almost at the campsite when they could already see the light.
Just then, the counselor's voice came through the loudspeaker, "Hey, Little Sun, what brings you here too!"
Sun Tingzhou smiled and said, "I was hiking with my friend and we stopped by to take a look."
The counselor then noticed a tall man next to Sun Tingzhou and thought to himself, "Wearing a suit while hiking?"
Amidst the shadowy crowd, Lin Fengyi spotted Yan Heqing at a glance. Yan Heqing didn't even look at him, but Lin Fengyi reacted as if burned, quickly averting his gaze and politely extending his hand to introduce himself to the counselor, "Hello, my name is Lin Fengyi."
Gu Xingye and Lin Fengyi were very familiar with each other. When he saw Lin Fengyi appear at the camp, Gu Xingye subconsciously turned around to look for Yan Heqing.
He had a gut feeling that Lin Fengyi had come to see Yan Heqing.
Even in the dim light of the night, Yan Heqing was still incredibly conspicuous. Gu Xingye pushed through the crowd and walked up to Yan Heqing. " Lin Fengyi is here."
Only after the No. 1 Primary School of candy had melted did Yan Heqing look up. Gu Xingye observed his expression, which remained completely unchanged. Gu Xingye was filled with doubt. Lin Fengyi doted on Lin Fengzhi, so there was no reason why Yan Heqing wouldn't be familiar with him. Did he really not associate with anyone?
Lin Fengyi had been secretly glancing at Yan Heqing, and when he saw him standing with Gu Xingye seemingly talking, Lin Fengyi was extremely displeased.
Gu Xingye, that kid, he disliked because of his Lin Fengzhi, but I didn't expect him to get along so well with Yan Heqing as well.
