The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

Just two days ago, after finishing a long day at work, Xu Yanze went downstairs to the convenience store to buy some things. When passing the bridge, he looked at the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance falling on the flowing water, sparkling in the ripples, and in the distance, the rosy clouds stretched as far as his sight could see.

Xu Yanze simply stopped here and watched the scene quietly.

I don't know how long I stood there, the sunset in the sky had already faded, Xu Yanze came to his senses and prepared to leave.

Just then, there was the sound of a skateboard sliding behind me, followed by the squeaking sound of the skateboard rubbing against the ground, and then it stopped.

"you you you……"

The man came up with a skateboard, about 170cm tall, wearing a loose, fluffy sweatshirt and overalls. When he walked over, he took off his sweatshirt hood, revealing his pink hair.

The man pointed at Xu Yanze with a look of surprise and didn't say anything for a long time. He seemed to be trying to determine whether he had recognized the wrong person.

Xu Yanze quickly saw the person in front of him and was startled. Then the corners of his mouth slightly raised and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Lang Buping, long time no see." Xu Yanze took the initiative to greet him, his voice gentle and calm.

Lang Buping was surprised when he heard the other party calling out his name.

"It's really Xu Daxue! This is really like meeting an old friend in a foreign land!"

"I thought I had made a mistake. You've changed so much. You used to be a nerd but now you've become a handsome man in a suit. Damn, I didn't dare to recognize you just now." Lang Buping said in surprise.

"You haven't changed at all. You're still the same as when you were in school." Xu Yanze replied.

"Don't mention it. I'm almost crazy at school. It's because I'm still studying and haven't graduated yet, so I don't have the mature temperament of successful people like you."

Lang Buping shrugged helplessly, but a smile still hung on his lips.

"How about we go to a cafe and chat for a while?" Xu Yanze suggested.

Lang Buping obviously didn't expect Xu Yanze to take the initiative to invite him, and he was stunned for a moment.

"You have really changed a lot, including your personality. Ten years ago, I would never have thought that the day would come when Mr. Xu, the top student at the university, would actively invite me to have coffee," Lang Buping exclaimed.

"But since we want to reminisce about the past, why do we need to drink coffee? Come on, let me treat you to a drink," Lang Buping said with a smile.

Xu Yanze didn't refuse, but just smiled and followed Lang Buping while carrying his things.

When they arrived at the place, Xu Yanze didn't act pretentiously. He drank with Lang Buping and chatted for a long time. Lang Buping had obviously not met a fellow villager for a long time, and he became more and more excited as they talked.

Xu Yanze sat quietly aside, with a smile on his face, listening to Lang Buping's story quietly, and occasionally interjecting a few words.

Lang Buping's throat was almost smoking from talking so much, he gulped down a glass of beer, which finally relieved the hoarseness in his throat.

"Just listen to my nagging, don't be disgusted by my nagging, I finally met an acquaintance."

Lang Buping scratched his head, with a slight blush on his face, which was the result of alcohol and excitement.

"will not."

"You helped me a lot back then, and I still owe you a thank you." Xu Yanze said gently.

Lang Buping was a little confused when he heard this.

"What do you mean?" Lang Buping asked.

"After the fact that I was gay was exposed, you helped me many times when others bullied me." Xu Yanze said.

Lang Buping was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized and waved his hand with a smile.

"Hey, what's the big deal? It's just something I can do."

"Besides, actually, it wasn't me who went to help you at that time. It was my buddy Tao Zhi who asked me to help you. If you really want to thank someone, thank him." Lang Buping said with a smile.

Xu Yanze was stunned for a moment.

"I don't quite understand what you mean." Xu Yanze said in a daze.

"What's so clear about this? It's exactly what it means. When you got into trouble, Tao Zhifei was unwilling to do it himself. He always hurriedly dragged me to your side and kicked me, forcing me to help you with threats and inducements."

"He was fine, just watching from a distance while I took the beating for you."

"No, I heard from my brother that you and Tao Zhi have had a very good relationship over the years. How come you two haven't talked about this until now?" Lang Buping asked puzzledly.

Xu Yanze felt his mind go blank, his heartbeat accelerated, and he could hardly think about what Lang Buping said.

Didn't Tao Zhi feel disgusted by being a homosexual? Didn't he take the lead in humiliating and bullying him many times? How could he take the initiative to ask Lang Buping to help him?

"By the way, are you two together?" Lang Buping asked curiously.

Xu Yanze was a little surprised when he heard the voice, and he couldn't understand why Lang Buping asked this.

Seeing Xu Yanze's expression, Lang Buping naturally guessed that they were probably not together.

"You two didn't make it? That shouldn't be the case. Did you reject him? Or has he never confessed to you yet?"

"No way, a person like our Brother Tao actually plays the role of waiting silently? I am shocked."

"I heard from my brother that Tao Zhi came out a few years ago, and then broke up. Since then, you two have been on good terms. I thought he finally plucked up the courage to look for you, his white moonlight, but now he's been acting like a sheep for a long time." Lang Buping joked.

As soon as Lang Buping finished speaking, Xu Yanze grabbed his wrist with quite a bit of force, causing Lang Buping to feel some pain.

Xu Yanze had already lost his composure and rationality at this time, and his eyes were filled with anxiety.

"Lang Buping, I don't understand what you are saying. Can you please explain it more clearly?" Xu Yanze's voice was hoarse.

When Lang Buping saw Xu Yanze's state, he realized that Xu Yanze was completely clueless. He slapped his head in annoyance and grimaced for a moment.

"It's over. My big mouth has ruined things. If Tao Zhi knew about this, he would piss me off to death."

"I was too talkative today. Just pretend you don't know about this. Don't hold a grudge against Tao Zhi when you go back." Lang Buping said tiredly.

Xu Yanze frowned and grabbed Lang Buping's hand even harder uncontrollably.

"Please, tell me." Xu Yanze's throat felt unusually dry.

Lang Buping was a little confused when he saw Xu Yanze's expression. Why didn't he look like he was disgusted?

"Just...just the fact that Tao Zhi likes you. He liked you when you were in school. You really don't know anything about it?" Lang Buping said guiltily.

Xu Yanze felt as if his throat was being strangled when he heard the words. He couldn't breathe, and in just a few breaths his eyes turned red.

"I don't know." Xu Yanze said with difficulty, his voice trembling violently.

"Then my brother Tao is amazing. He has been by your side for so many years and you haven't noticed him. He is the real-life version of Liu Xia Hui." Lang Buping sighed.

"I don't know. I never knew about it."

"Didn't he always hate me back then? After the love letter incident, he found me even more disgusting..."

Before Xu Yanze could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lang Buping.

"That's not the case."
