The next day, Lian Qiao sneaked into the campus before physical education class as scheduled.
Lian Qiao, who crawled into the dog hole for the second time, was already very experienced. He put on a RenDong's school uniform jacket while hiding in the grass. The school uniform was wide and big, the workmanship was rough and the style could be said to be quite ugly. Fortunately, Lian Qiao was tall and thin and the school uniform gave him a strong sense of youth.
He was born with a baby face and so, walking on campus with his head held high and his chest upright, no one would suspect that he was twenty-five years old.
Although pretending to be a high school student did not arouse suspicion, he was a stranger after all and did not dare to go directly up to the physical education teacher. Right now, he was standing under the shade of the trees on the edge of the playground. He saw RenDong and his class from a distance lining up in the middle of the playground. There was a different kind of excitement in his heart as he didn't know what RenDong called him here for.
Yesterday he asked RenDong what the so-called "pay back" meant and RenDong just said that you will know when the time comes.
This vague answer made Lian Qiao's imagination run wild. After brainstorming the 100,000 words that could not be described, he denied it to himself again: No, no, RenDong is not that kind of person. Not to mention the law of death in horror movies… RenDong's face is extremely thin and it is absolutely impossible to invite him to 'play' on the rooftop, in the classroom, in the library, or in the gymnasium…
Cough, stop, stop, I can't think about it anymore. If I think about it again, I will become a hard-boiled pervert.
Having said that, Lian Qiao, who was peeping behind the big tree, deeply felt that he was already engaged in perverted behavior.
He tried his best to restrain the immoral fantasies in his heart and stared at RenDong who was in gym class over there.
Even at such a distance, he could still find RenDong in the crowd at a glance. Under the sun, RenDong's skin was so white that it seemed to be glowing. He seemed to be the only one in the crowd who had turned on the beauty filter. He was as handsome as a fairy who had accidentally fallen into a pigsty…
The contrast was too strong!
The more Lian Qiao looked at it, the more he felt that his RenDong was really outstanding and beautiful.
Looking at him, he suddenly thought of a question:
Has RenDong really never been in love since he was a child?
Could it be that all the girls around him have been blind since he was a child? Turning a blind eye to such a big human treasure?
Could it be that there were really no pure school beauties, rich daughters, sexy and hot young ladies, etc., who are passionately pursuing him?
"…Ah!"
For some reason, that familiar stabbing pain came from the depths of his brain again. Like a red-hot wire, it suddenly poked on his brain. He could even hear the scorching sound of his cerebellum being scorched.
Damn, what's wrong with me! Am I over?!
Lian Qiao took out a bottle of painkillers from his pocket in a state of extreme irritability, poured several pills with a splash and swallowed them all.
However, the pain in his head was not relieved immediately. The painkillers took effect very slowly. He rubbed his temples, leaned his back against the big tree, closed his eyes and rested for a long time without recovering.
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly, a gentle voice could be heard.
With the sound of the familiar voice, Lian Qiao felt that his pain was swept away just by listening to it. He opened his eyes with joy and smiled at him: "RenDong!"
He saw RenDong wearing a summer school uniform, a white short-sleeved top and black sweatpants. He was slender and tall with clean and delicate skin, exuding the unique refreshingness of teenagers.
Those eyes are the eyes of an adult however. Quiet and gentle, there was a touch of affection quietly flowing in the eyes. It can see into the heart with just one glance.
When Lian Qiao looked into those eyes, his heart melted and he drowned in those eyes.
"I was waiting for you." Lian Qiao looked at him and spoke foolishly.
RenDong smiled, stretched out his hand and scratched his nose.
"Come. Come with me."
"Where are you going?" Lian Qiao unconsciously followed his footsteps after he spoke, as if he were being pulled by an invisible thread.
RenDong turned back and smiled at him: "Come play."
Lian Qiao: "…?"
He never thought that when RenDong asked him to come to school, he actually wanted him to play ball?!
Lian Qiao couldn't believe it. The moment he touched the basketball, he couldn't help sighing: He really couldn't keep up with RenDong's thinking!
The second half of the physical education class was a free activity. RenDong seems to have made an agreement with his classmates a long time ago that he wanted to bring someone to play together. Therefore, the students did not have any questions about this "brother" who appeared out of nowhere.
It was unknown where the physical education teacher went and this group of students were left playing on the playground.
Probably due to the high pressure of studying in high school, everyone acted crazy when they played. It's no wonder after all, boys in high school are already full of energy and their school and family life are tightly controlled. Puppy love is also strictly prohibited. Therefore, this youthful vitality that has nowhere to rest can only be vented in sports.
The boys played on the basketball court and the girls walked around the playground in twos and threes, chatting. From time to time, they cast glances towards the basketball court and commented on the sweaty boys on the court.
Lian Qiao observed the surrounding environment carefully and, after confirming that there was no danger there, he threw himself into basketball with confidence.
He also didn't expect that RenDong could play basketball!
In his impression, RenDong always wore a suit and tie and looked like a mature social elite. Unexpectedly, he also played basketball in high school.
However, as Lian Qiao expected, RenDong was not very good at playing. He had poor coordination and poor shooting accuracy. The ball seemed to be cursed, always spinning around the edge of the basket before falling out of the basket with a clang.
RenDong is on the same team as him. It has to be said that… RenDong is not a very good teammate.
No wonder he never mentioned that he can play basketball!
The more Lian Qiao thought about it, the more amused he felt. As he bounced the ball, his tense nerves gradually relaxed and for a moment he almost forgot what was going on. He forgot that he was in the instance.
He hadn't been this relaxed in a long time. Ever since the two of them were admitted to the ICU in the last dungeon, he has been feeling anxiety deep in his heart. RenDong's physical condition, the difficulty of the last instance, various unforeseen changes after entering the instance… all made his subconscious anxiety continue to accumulate.
Worst of all, the instance keywords point directly to RenDong. He was very afraid that other people would be hostile to RenDong if they knew the secret of the key player.
It is hard enough to guard against ghosts, but you also need to keep your teammates at bay. Sometimes he even thought darkly that it would be better to kill all his teammates.
This thought always terrified him. After calming down, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He realized that he had such dark thoughts because he was too anxious.
However, today, after this basketball game, Lian Qiao relaxed a lot.
He also finally understood why RenDong asked him to play this game. RenDong must have sensed his emotions.
Thinking of this, Lian Qiao felt terribly sweet in his heart.
After playing basketball, it was almost time for class to end. RenDong offered to help pack the sports equipment. The physical education teacher gave him the key to the equipment room.
The equipment room is located in a remote corner behind the gymnasium. The two were walking towards the equipment room with a bunch of basketballs and badmintons in their arms, when a girl suddenly appeared in front of then with a flushed face and a letter in her hand.
Ah?! A pink letter?!
A love confession?!
Lian Qiao narrowed his eyes vigilantly, like a cat whose tail has been stepped on. Sure enough, the girl glanced at him, her face turned red again and then whispered to RenDong like a mosquito: "Xu RenDong, can I, can I have a few words with you alone?"
No!
What are you thinking! Of course you cannot!
Lian Qiao knew that RenDong had a thin face and that he was not very good at dealing with such things. He was about to refuse for RenDong but he didn't expect RenDong to turn his head and smile at him: "Then you go to the equipment room and wait for me."
Lian Qiao: "Huh?!!!"
Lian Qiao frowned instantly. But he is not from this school after all and, if anything happens, RenDong will be the unlucky one.
After thinking about it, this woman is just an NPC after all. Why is he jealous of an NPC!
Lian Qiao took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, nodded, obediently listened to RenDong's words and went to the equipment room first.
The equipment room is very small, filled with all kinds of sporting goods, basketball, football and badminton and army green mats for sit-ups. Lian Qiao put down his things and looked around, feeling excited again.
Never been to this place! Is there any treasure hidden!
RenDong really understands me! The purpose of asking to pack up the equipment is to let me search here!
Ah, he was so kind to me!
Lian Qiao was so excited that he geared up and immediately began to explore. He touched the whole shelf, causing his hands to be covered in dust. However, it didn't take long before he couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Why hasn't RenDong come back yet?
Looking at the time, in fact, only five minutes had passed.
It's just rejecting the NPC's confession, is it necessary to take so long? Is it possible that he was finding a way to comfort the injured female NPC?
She's just an NPC!
Lian Qiao felt a tightness in his chest for no reason and then his head ached again.
What the hell is going on…why is the pain so frequent today?
He subconsciously reached out to touch the painkiller but when he reached into his pocket and touched the medicine bottle, he stopped.
Forget it, painkillers don't really help either. Eating too much is also prone to side effects. Just bear with it.
He pulled out the sit-up mat and sat down, closing his eyes and rubbing his temples slowly. The sharp pain like roasting brains gradually faded and he let out a long breath. He couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his chest.
The brass key was jutting out hard and it was slightly hot, as if it was a hint.
…Do you want to use it or not?
Should he discuss it with RenDong?
Surely he would not agree. But if he didn't tell him…
Lian Qiao was in a trance when suddenly he felt darkness around him. He suddenly looked up and there was a person standing at the door, blocking the light from outside.
"RenDong?" When Lian Qiao saw him, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up again, "Is it over?"
"En." RenDong pulled the door of the equipment room with his backhand and locked it with a click.
When Lian Qiao heard the clicking sound, he felt inexplicably nervous. He looked up at RenDong walking towards him and asked, "What did you tell her?"
"Told her that I already have someone I like and thanked her for her kindness." RenDong looked around and finally landed on the army green cushion under Lian Qiao. He hooked the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "It seems that I picked the right place."
"Huh?" Lian Qiao was stunned for a moment and quickly realized, "Ah, yes! I haven't been to this place before, and there are many things worth investigating. Speaking of which, I haven't finished the investigation. Just now I was a little…"
He was about to get up, but he was pushed down by RenDong and fell backward on the cushion.
"?!" Lian Qiao opened his eyes wide, looking at the young man above him in shock, "Nn, RenDong? What are you doing…?"
RenDong propped his hands on the mat but the person slowly sat on his waist, leaving him nowhere to escape.
"I'm already seventeen years old." RenDong looked down at him, his eyes flickering.
"So…?" Lian Qiao felt his mouth dry. The long-lost restlessness spread throughout the body like wildfire.
RenDong smiled, leaned down, and whispered in his ear with a hoarse voice:
"Fuck me."
