wait, i'm chasing you

After class, Hao Chen followed Jiang Lin to the office.

"Sit down." Jiang Lin pointed to the sofa, went to pour two glasses of water, and put them on the tea table in front of Hao Chen, "Tell me, what's going on recently?"

Hao Chen took a sip of water from the paper cup, lowered his eyes and bit the edge of the paper cup and said, "It's okay, I just started school, I'm not used to it."

"Are you a freshman?" Jiang Lin interrupted his meaningless words, "Even if you were not at this level on the first day, who are you perfunctory?"

Hao Chen didn't make a sound, still biting his cup.

He has known Jiang Lin for a long time. Jiang Lin was originally a student who went out of the training class. The relationship is more like friends.

"If you encounter something that is difficult to solve, please tell me first, and we can solve it slowly. What's the matter with you now?"

Seeing his lack of cooperation, Jiang Lin frowned slightly, feeling that he had encountered his first challenge in education.

"Is it a family matter?" So I started to check one by one.

"No." Hao Chen put down his glass and thought about his choice of words, "Let's count it as an emotional issue."

"..." Jiang Lin looked at him helplessly, "After a summer vacation, you went to the beauty pass? Didn't you go to the mountain village to shoot a documentary? Did you meet Xiaoqian?"

"...No." Hao Chen rubbed his nose, and imagined Chen Yiran's version of Xiaoqian, feeling a little inexplicably happy.

Thinking of Chen Yiran, and remembering that Jiang Lin was also a freshman in an art school, Hao Chen paused and opened his mouth.

"Brother Lin, I want to ask you about someone..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in." Jiang Lin glanced over there, and said to Hao Chen, "Wait for me a moment."

As soon as Jiang Lin finished speaking, people outside the door had already opened the door and walked in, fiddling with their mobile phones while walking, not idle in their mouths.

"I've found all the information you need, and you can find what you need next time, and you won't pay for running errands..."

With a teasing smile on his lips, the man put the phone away, and when he looked up, he saw Hao Chen sitting on the sofa, met his shocked and complicated eyes, and immediately froze in place, Hao Chen didn't come out. He stared at him in a daze, until his fingertips were pinched with bleeding marks, and then he managed to regain his senses.

It wasn't long after we separated from him, but Hao Chen still felt the feeling of regaining what was lost. He thought it would be ecstatic, but in the end he only felt sour, which made the tip of his nose turn red.

"Brother..." Hao Chen called him softly.

Chen Yiran opened his mouth slightly, but suddenly couldn't find a suitable address...

He wanted to call him Little Morning Cub, but the intimacy he used to have seemed a bit inappropriate. He wanted to call him by his name, but he was afraid of the distance and strangeness.

"That... I didn't come at the right time." Chen Yiran smiled dryly, and put the documents in his hand on the table, "You guys talk, I'll just put the things here, let's go first..."

With that said, he turned around and went out the door.

"Chen Yiran!"

Hao Chen was almost a little angry. He actually wanted to run away again, but he still wanted to run away even though he was right under his nose!

"Brother Lin, come back and talk."

After Hao Chen finished speaking, he grabbed his schoolbag and chased him out.

Jiang Lin didn't say a word during the whole process, from doubt to shock, and from shock to speechless.

If there is no misunderstanding, my buddies and my students have some bloody emotional problems... Is that what it means...

Jiang Lin thought about it for a while, leaned on the sofa and raised his face, inexplicably wanting to laugh.

"Hey...what else are we talking about..."

"Chen Yiran, stop!"

Hao Chen went out, caught up with Chen Yiran in a few steps, grabbed his arm and pulled him towards the wall with all his strength, and was knocked against the wall by inertia, making a muffled sound.

"I go…"

Chen Yiran hissed when he was hit, and couldn't help but complain.

"You murdered..."

Hao Chen stretched out his hands to press the walls on both sides of him, and surrounded him in front of him, preventing him from escaping again.

"Why are you running!"

Hao Chen stared at him closely, with anger and unwillingness in his eyes.

"Who ran away!" Chen Yiran argued, "Aren't you talking about studying, I'm leaving!"

Hao Chen's voice improved a bit, but there was a guilty conscience in his eyes.

Hao Chen pursed his lips and slowed down his voice.

"What about that time in the small town?"

This sentence was like a switch, and the two of them fell silent again. In the corridor after school, it was empty and silent.

"I don't have your contact information, I don't have your address information, I don't know anything except your name. You don't tell me anything, I have no defense at all..."

Hao Chen smiled lightly.

"You didn't run, you disappeared."

Chen Yiran raised the hand hanging by his side, but finally let it go.

Hao Chen's words made him feel distressed, he wanted to hug him and tell him that I was here.

But in the end, he just looked at him and called out.

"Boy..."

Hao Chen's eyes suddenly turned red.

Chen Yiran looked at him helplessly, thinking that he would cry in a second, but Hao Chen lowered his head, closed his eyes hard, and when he raised his head to look at him again, his eyes were calm.

"I like you, you know that." Hao Chen said.

Chen Yiran's pupils shrank suddenly: "You..."

"You should know, otherwise it wouldn't have disappeared suddenly."

Hao Chen laughed at himself and interrupted him.

"I always feel that I did something wrong. I have always been afraid that you would resist such feelings, so I asked you many times. You said it was nothing, but it still disappeared..."

Hao Chen bit his lip, lowered his eyes and didn't look at him.

"I always wonder if you hate me, that's why you leave without saying goodbye..."

"I'm not!" Chen Yiran stretched out his hand to hold him, clutching the corner of his clothes, and looked at him with a frown.

"How could I hate you, I just...just..."

Chen Yiran stared at Hao Chen, but didn't know how to continue the conversation.

"You just didn't know how to face me, so you ran away."

Hao Chen looked at him quietly, finished speaking for him, glanced at the hand he slowly let go, and asked a question.

"Brother, don't you miss me?"

Chen Yiran's fingers curled up, and he remained silent with some struggles.

"Why did you ask Tao Yi about my situation? Why did you record that video when you decided to leave?"

Hao Chen was almost asking him a question, looked at his trembling eyelashes, and continued.

"Could we not have missed it..."

Chen Yiran frowned and sighed slightly, looking at him a little bit helplessly.

"Boy..."

Hao Chen suddenly loosened the restraint on him, withdrew his hand, and smiled a little lonely.

"You don't need to tell me now, I found you anyway."

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, just wait, I can chase you."

He said.

"That's what I thought at first. No matter where you are, I will find you even if I go to each school. After I find you, I will chase you."

"Hao Chen..." There was no doubt in his tone, which made Chen Yiran a little flustered, calling his name for the first time. "Don't do this..."

"Don't do that?" Hao Chen smiled a little relaxedly. Anyway, he said everything that should be said, "Don't you like you? I'm sorry, I liked you for too long, and I have no chance to withdraw it."

"Brother, I'm going back, but you'll still see me."

After finishing speaking, without giving him any chance to refute, he turned and walked out of the gate.

Watching him leave, Chen Yiran leaned against the wall and bent slightly exhausted physically and mentally.

He didn't expect to meet Hao Chen. He originally thought that the two of them would never meet again, but now not only did he meet him again, but he also received a critical blow...

Hao Chen, confessed to him?dreaming...

"I said how you have made yourself so depressed recently, so that's what happened."

Jiang Lin came out from the corner and looked at him speechlessly.

"Fortunately, I dug you up and gave me a book today, otherwise I don't know how to solve this one or two."

After a pause, he asked again.

"Why didn't you promise him? You weren't..."

He and Chen Yiran were classmates in high school, and later they were admitted to the same university. Chen Yiran likes boys, and he already knew this.

Chen Yiran knew what he was going to say, but smiled self-deprecatingly: "Do you think it's appropriate for me to promise him in my current situation? He will be affected."

Jiang Lin frowned, remembering the almost vicious rumors in the school: "It's not your fault."

"Besides, Tao Yi said before that he has never been attracted to anyone. He is only 17 years old. I am afraid that it is because of me that he has misunderstood himself. What if he is just a temporary..." Chen Yiran said hesitantly.

"Wait a minute, let me interrupt." Jiang Lin folded his arms and looked at him, "Let me ask a question first. Before Hao Chen, did you ever fall in love with anyone?"

Chen Yiran froze for a moment, not quite understanding why he asked this.

"As far as I know, probably not? I haven't heard you tell me anyway." Jiang Lin said, "Then how can you be sure that you are not impulsive, but born like this? This cannot be used as a theoretical basis. And I told You have known each other for so long, and I have never had any impulse towards you, why can't you admit that he just likes you?"

"That's different, I don't like you." Chen Yiran shook his head and said.

"..." Jiang Lin laughed angrily at him, "Do you want to be shameless? Do you think that as long as you like others, others will like you? What about face?"

"That's not what I meant..." Chen Yiran also laughed, "But I like your conclusion."

"Get out." Jiang Lin cursed with a smile.

"What are you going to do?"

Now that you know the reason, you have to solve it, but there is no way for others to intervene in matters such as feelings.

"I don't know..." Chen Yiran shook his head helplessly, "I didn't reserve this solution at all..."

"I didn't expect that, I ran errands once, and there was such a big surprise." Jiang Lin couldn't help teasing him.

"Yes." Chen Yiran glared at him angrily, "So don't expect me to send you materials in the future."

"Yeah." Jiang Lin nodded, "I'll let my student pick it up."

"..." Chen Yiran glanced at him, "Is it okay to be a little self-conscious about being a teacher? How can there be a student who has a puppy love..."

"That's good." Jiang Lin said to him with a little seriousness, "As Hao Chen's teacher, there is one thing I think you need to understand."

"Before, I was very optimistic about Hao Chen. Let's not talk about anything else. At least he basically has no problems with the art test. As long as he thinks, he has the ability to get the certificate. But since the start of school a few days ago, his whole state Not online, let alone school recruitment, I’m worried that he might not be doing well in the unified examination, that’s why I’m looking for him, otherwise you wouldn’t see him in the office today.”

Coming out of Jiang Lin, Chen Yiran walked home absent-mindedly, his mind was full of what Jiang Lin said.

"Whether it's your relationship with Hao Chen or his study, I think you are responsible to some extent. I hope you can take care of it, instead of just walking away and evading."

"The way you think is good to him is not necessarily good to him. On the contrary, it may hurt him more. You should think about it carefully. After all, you don't want to affect his future."

Walking back in such a trance, until he opened the door and entered the house, he didn't notice the person behind him.

Hao Chen stood in the corridor, looked at the closed door silently for a while, then turned and went downstairs.
