Yi Pin, with a nervous heart and a faint smile on his lips, rushed non - stop to the apartment building where Shen Yu lived.
He took two quick steps up the stairs and knocked on Shen Yu's door.
There stood Shen Yu, unshaven, disheveled, and wearing loose clothes.
Looking at the somewhat gaunt Shen Yu, Yi Pin frowned.
"Brother Yu!"
The two embraced each other, both looking a bit haggard.
"Shen Yu, Brother Yu, let's go. Let's go abroad. We can start a new life. I can ask Qi Mingyang to book tickets for us!" Yi Pin said excitedly, with a smile on his lips and anticipation shining in his eyes.
But for a long time, Shen Yu didn't answer, nor did he show any sign of response. He just stood there coldly.
Yi Pin frowned, and tears glistened in his eyes.
"I'm asking you, Shen Yu!"
Yi Pin said coldly, staring directly at Shen Yu in front of him.
"Yi Pin, do you think running away is realistic?" Shen Yu said calmly but coldly, his brows tightly knitted.
"What do you mean?" Yi Pin suddenly pushed Shen Yu away and said in shock, "Are you scared? What about all those words about loving me and accompanying me in the future?"
Yi Pin got a bit angry and roared.
He had rushed here without even taking a sip of water.
But Shen Yu had such an attitude and showed no sign of responding at all.
"Damn it, say something!" Yi Pin said coldly.
But Shen Yu in front of him seemed like a walking corpse, unmoved.
"Shen Yu!"
Yi Pin called out angrily again, but Shen Yu still remained unmoved, only frowning.
"Sorry!" Shen Yu said slowly, a look of helplessness appearing on his face.
"Sorry? What good does it do? What on earth are you thinking? Huh? Do you think I'm fun? Do you think I'm naive? Are you afraid that your future will be affected?"
Yi Pin roared.
Looking at the exhausted Shen Yu in front of him, Yi Pin frowned and then turned around and left.
In a daze, under the strange looks of passers - by, he didn't know when he got home.
As soon as he got home, Aunt Liu rushed forward. "Oh dear, young master, what's wrong with you? How did you end up like this?"
"Aunt Liu, I'm hungry!" Yi Pin hugged Aunt Liu, and the tears in the corners of his eyes fell uncontrollably.
Why did all this happen? Why was the result he had been longing for like this? Why was what he had expected with full enthusiasm a fatal blow?
"Aunt Liu will cook for you right away! Stop crying, you child..."
So Aunt Liu rushed to the kitchen to cook.
Yi Pin stood there alone, looking at a glass of plain water, feeling a bit lost.
The food tasted bland. Yi Pin took a couple of mouthfuls and then vomited it out.
He just felt nauseous in his throat, accompanied by a metallic taste of blood.
"Oh dear, what's wrong with you?" Aunt Liu was shocked and quickly stepped forward to support him. "Are you sick?"
At this time, the old master came downstairs. He looked at Yi Pin in front of him helplessly. "Xiao Liu, you can go back!"
"Look at your sorry state, look at yourself, Yi Pin. Is it really worth it?" The old master looked at the thin - faced Yi Pin with grief and heartache, and sighed softly.
"I agree!"
Yi Pin said resolutely.
"Agree to what?"
The old master looked at Yi Pin in front of him blankly.
"I agree to go abroad!"
After saying that, Yi Pin walked up the stairs by himself, leaving only a tired back downstairs.
He gently closed the door, and it was pitch - black. He fell onto the bed and slept. He didn't know how long he had been in a coma. He only felt that even his dreams were full of sadness.
He opened his eyes hazily, and his head was throbbing with pain.
"You're awake?"
A hearty voice came from beside him. As the blurry face gradually became clear, Yi Pin's expression changed from anticipation to disappointment.
He recognized Qi Mingyang's face and felt a bit dazed.
"Why are you here?"
Yi Pin asked in confusion.
"Isn't it because someone was acting like they were going to die, had a high fever, and wouldn't let anyone get close? Your family's old master came to me!"
Qi Mingyang shrugged, looking calm, and there was a faint smile on his lips.
"Thank you!"
Yi Pin squeezed out these two words from his dry lips.
Qi Mingyang forced Yi Pin to take some medicine and drink a few glasses of hot water.
"Are you really going abroad?" Qi Mingyang asked nonchalantly.
"Yeah, there's nothing for me to miss here. Besides, it's good to change the environment when I'm outside!"
As Yi Pin said this, there was a look of disappointment in the corners of his eyes. He stared blankly at the leaves outside the window.
"Alright. It's good for you two to be separated for a while. Shen Yu seems to have had a lot of troubles these days. Things at school are quite tricky!" Qi Mingyang hooked his lips into a smile and played with his phone.
"What kind of trouble? What happened to him?"
Yi Pin frowned and blurted out instinctively. Just hearing Shen Yu's name made his heart skip a beat.
"The school found out about the two of you!" Qi Mingyang shrugged.
"How could that be? Did someone inform on you?" Yi Pin was a bit surprised. If no one had deliberately spread the news, the two of them had been very low - key at school and hadn't caused any negative impact.
Qi Mingyang shrugged and didn't say anything more.
In the afternoon, Qi Mingyang went out on a mission.
Yi Pin was left alone in the empty room, quietly feeling the cold wind and looking at the world outside the window.
Although the sun was shining brightly, it was bone - chillingly cold.
Yi Pin got up, took a shower, and shaved his beard. Looking at his haggard self in the mirror, he felt a bit strange.
He picked up his phone, looked at it, and then put it down. He picked it up again and put it down again.
Finally, he threw his phone onto the bed angrily and sat at the foot of the bed, covering his head.
At this time, a phone call came. Yi Pin quickly picked up the phone.
But when he saw the name on the screen, he felt a bit disappointed.
He slowly answered the call.
"What do you want?"
Yi Pin said coldly.
"Damn it, it's like I'm trying to kill you just by calling you. Forget it. I know you've been in a bad mood recently..."
Lin Yangcong's voice came from the other end.
"Speak quickly if you have something to say."
Yi Pin said impatiently.
"I've found out the truth about who leaked your secret. It's Qin Zhuoyue, that son of a bitch..."
Yi Pin didn't hear what was said later. He was just a bit dazed. They had no grudges against each other. Why did this Qin Zhuoyue always target him? Maybe there really was baseless hatred in the world.
"What about Shen Yu? What's his situation now?" Yi Pin said coldly. Although his tone was calm, his heart was twitching.
"He resigned on his own!"
Lin Yangcong said nonchalantly.
"By the way, your story has spread like wildfire in the school. How come you don't know anything about it? All the girls in the school even formed a fan club for you two..."
Yi Pin frowned, and he didn't listen to the rest of the things.
Why did he have to resign when they had done nothing wrong? Didn't university teachers have the right to their own private lives? Did homosexuals have to die? Didn't they deserve love?
His mind was in a complete mess, and his emotions were fluctuating all the time.
Yi Pin sat coldly on the floor, looking at the street lamp outside the window flickering on and off.
The cold wind was blowing rustlingly.
