Chapter 60: Object not allowed.

Ji Lianyi A pose held for a long time.

Dressed in a simple silk blouse and white suit pants, she was still looking respectable and polished after nearly half a month of intense work and a ten-hour flight.

She couldn't help but frown at the sight of the Band-Aid on Yu Fan's cheek and the hair that was longer than it had been at the parent-teacher conference. The little bit of subconscious revulsion on her face had shifted to seriousness when she saw Yu Fan's hand against her son's face again.

"Are you fighting?" Ryoko, Ji Lianyi asked.

Yu Fan heard this before reacting to how stiff her expression was now.

He breathed a long sigh of relief in the dark, his eyebrows drooped lazily, and he replaced them with an even more hangdog expression than usual: "Just looking for him to get some ......"

Before the word "money" could be uttered, Yu Fan's wrist was taken in someone's hand and returned to his side.

Chen Jingshen had just finished her bath, her palms were a bit cold, they touched briefly and then let go. Chen Jingshen faintly said, "He came to find me to do my homework."

"......"

Ji Lianyi knew exactly what kind of student Yu Fan was, and her expression became more subtle. Her phoenix eyes rose slightly, glancing at the band-aid on Chen Jingshen's neck, and then downwardly scanning the shorts on Yu Fan's body.

Yu Fan's lips had just moved, when Ji Lianyi suddenly loosened his eyebrows and nodded, "That's right."

"It's late and it should be done." She looks to Yu Fan, "Do you need me to have the driver take you out?"

Yu Fan put one hand in his pocket, "No need."

The driver who followed Ji Lianyi, quiet as a chicken with his luggage, gave way as Yu Fan approached him. The other brushed his shoulder and left without looking back.

"Old Wu, you go back too."

"Okay." The driver immediately put the luggage down, "I'll pick you up at nine o'clock sharp tomorrow night."

With the door closed, Ji Lianyi puts her handbag on the shoe cabinet and switches on the security camera at the iron gate of the house, watching Yu Fan leave as she changes her shoes.

Chen Jingshen withdrew his gaze and went to pick up Ji Lianyi's suitcase in silence.

"Why is Yu Fan wearing your pants?" Ji Lianyi suddenly asked.

"Got his dirty, got him one." Chen Jingshen asked in a soft voice, "Did you have dinner?"

"Had a little on the plane." Ji Lianyi asked warmly, "You really didn't fight?"

"Nope."

"So what happened to your neck?"

"An accidental scratch."

Ji Lianyi thought back to the demeanor of the two boys just now, and it really didn't look like there had been a confrontation. She nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

During this time she was busy working and going through a divorce, she was a bit neglectful of her son before he got to play with students like Yu Fan.

But it's okay, it's just as well to be busy for a while. She did some mental math, there were only about ten days left in the semester, and it was a pain in the ass to toss around the transfer of classes now.

"That's fine." Ji Lianyi said, "Why have you covered up all the home surveillance these days."

"Uncomfortable." Chen Jingshen faintly said.

Ji Lianyi remained silent for a few seconds and nodded, "You've grown up, mom can understand that, but I didn't install the surveillance to spy on you, it's for your personal safety, can you understand that? Mom is doing this for your own good."

Chen Jingshen looked at her with downcast eyes and did not speak.

"Don't block the surveillance outside the room in the future." Ji Lianyi gave the order gently, her hand gently resting on Chen Jingshen's shoulder, "Mom is going to cook a bowl of noodles for dinner, do you need to cook some for you?"

"No need."

"Good. Tomorrow I'll have Auntie come over to do a big cleanup of the house, and make a pot of chicken soup on the way, and I'll eat with you in the evening before I leave." Ji Lianyi headed for the kitchen, suddenly thought of something and turned back, "Right, there's no need to bring back those pants."

On the way home, Yu Fan chewed the whole box of gum.

He sat in the last row of the bus, staring expressionlessly out the window, his mind in turmoil, checking his cell phone once every few minutes, not receiving a reply from Chen Jingshen.

It wasn't until they got home and took a shower that the cell phone sitting on the vanity rang slowly. Yu Fan rushed to touch it without even drying his hands.

[-: Discovered?

[s: No.]

One word, and Yu Fan's taut nerves snapped slack. His shoulders slumped slowly, and he tossed his cell phone onto the counter and retraced his steps back under the shower head.

After settling down, Yu Fan realized with hindsight that he hadn't been this flustered in a long time.

Since he and Yu Kaiming are the only ones left in the family, he is indifferent to many things. He's all alone, unattached, and not afraid of what people will say or what consequences he'll have to bear.

So he and Chen Jingshen talked about it. It didn't matter if it was early love or homosexuality.

But Chen Jingshen is different from him.

He was just now getting numb and upset at the mere thought of letting people know that Chen Jingshen was gay and still in a relationship with someone like him.

In the future, we should be more restrained, at least we can't go to Chen Jingshen's house anymore.

After coming out of the bathroom, Yu Fan hesitated for a while, but still put back on Chen Jingshen's pants. They were too big to wear outside, but they were fine to wear while sleeping, they were spacious.

[S: But you won't be able to see the movie tomorrow.]

With his mind freshly cleared and a shower, Yu Fan is now in a relaxed state of mind and body.

Cicadas chirped outside the window. He lay in bed, one hand propped behind his head, lazily typing.

[-: Oh, so next week]

Chen Jingshen replied with an "uh-huh" and then sent another picture: "I'll bring it to you on Monday.

Yu Fan clicked on the picture and his nerves snapped when he saw the black pants that had been taken off and then tossed into the corner, not even on his mind until he left.

He turned off the picture and turned it back on, and after three iterations, he still couldn't resist clicking on it for a closer look.

The pants were lying in a basin soaked with water, and Chen Jingshen carried a piece of fabric out of the water with one hand in order to photograph it for him.

Yu Fan looked at the generously and exquisitely decorated toilet, then at the water in the basin colored by the poor quality pants, and was tempted to type and tell Chen Jingshen to throw the damn thing away.

Finally, his eyes fell on Chen Jingshen's hands.

Chen Jingshen has long, thin, bony fingers. Normally, they do not show when holding a pen, but when you exert yourself, the veins will protrude slightly, such as when picking up pants that have absorbed enough water, e.g. ......

Grass.

Yu Fan threw his cell phone away and raised his hand to flick on the fan, blowing his brain clean on the biggest setting.

-

Yu Fan washed Chen Jingshen's shorts and took them to school on Monday, replacing them with his own no-good, worn-out pants.

To make it easier to fit his pants, Yu Fan pulled out that thing from his closet, which he hadn't used in years.

So the first period class was over, and all of his few fox friends at school gathered around the window next to his seat.

"Shit, so I read it right during the morning reading? What Yu Fan is carrying on his shoulder is really-" Zhu Xu asked in a stunned voice, "A book bag??"

Yu Fan: "......"

"I was fucking shocked too! When I saw it I thought I was in a dream and hadn't woken up yet." Wang Luan said.

Zhang Xianjing : "Not only you guys, when visiting Qin passed by their seats, I thought the school bully was carrying two school bags today."

Zuo Kuan reached into the window, picked up Yu Fan's school bag hanging behind the chair and weighed it, saying, "It's not heavy, what's in it? You wouldn't have stuffed sticks and knives in it, would you ......?"

Zuo Kuan's hand was cheap, and he tried to yank on the zipper when he finished.

Yu Fan was sleepy, and immediately turned around and slapped him on the hand, but because of his hasty movement, he bumped the desk when he turned around, and the pen on the desk shook violently, and fell off the edge of the desk with a gurgle-

Then it was caught in mid-air and put back on Yu Fan's desk.

Chen Jingshen glanced at Yu Fan's just-half-done paper by the way, and tapped his finger on a certain question, "The steps are wrong."

Yu Fan was made to look violent by Zuo Kuan, then suddenly extinguished the fire after seeing Chen Jingshen's hand, "...... Oh."

When he turned his head back to the window again, he was already slouching again, "Touch my stuff again and I'll cut your fingers off."

Zuo Kuan: "......"

"Hey, while there's time, hurry up and tell us what exactly happened to you guys that day." Someone outside the window said, "I heard that Yu Fan even pigeon-holed his girlfriend for Zuo Kuan?"

Yu Fan: "......"

Seeing that the people around him turned the pen in silence for a moment, Yu Fan really wanted to clutch the curtains into a ball and shove it into the mouths of these people: "That was the last Ding Xiao that thing he came, I returned him this time, not the intention ......"

"Shhh." Zuo Kuan index finger to his mouth, "Don't be tough Yu Fan, I understand everything. Brothers are brothers in arms, women count as clothes, more than that, this time, brother remembered in his heart."

Yu Fan : "Lao Zi ......"

"Hey, I forgot about it if you guys didn't mention it." Zuo Kuan pulled his cell phone out, "Those idiots got my phone number out of nowhere, texted us and cursed us, and said they wanted to fight us again."

Yu Fan: "......"

Wang Luan immediately said excitedly, "Damn! They actually dare to come! It happened so suddenly that day that I didn't have time to call my brothers, so I'll definitely give them a good fight this time!"

Zuo Kuan : "Of course! I've already been cursing at him for 3,000 words in a text message last night, and it's about this afternoon in that alley behind the school-"

"No." Yu Fan said.

The pause button was pressed on the heated discussion.

Wang Luan froze, "Why?"

"I see," Zuo Kuan flipped his phone over to show him, "You must not have seen how that grandson scolded us, look at that, he said that we're just wimpy dogs for not coming this time, and that he's going to beat us up every time he sees us in the South City from now on!"

"Haha!" Wang Luan snorted exaggeratedly, "You're going to send one back right now, tell him that the last person who dared to say such a thing to Yu Fan stayed in the hospital for three months, and tell them to book their beds in advance-"

Yu Fan was unmoved, "Said no."

"Why?" Zuo Kuan couldn't figure it out. "You're not a wimp, are you?"

"Is it possible?"

Yu Fan leaned back in his chair against someone's shoulder and said vaguely with an expressionless face, "The ...... object doesn't allow it."

The back row of the classroom was dead silent for a few seconds, all of them wide-eyed.

Only his tablemate stopped writing and quietly inclined his face to the side.

"You ......" Zhang Xianjing frowned suspiciously, "Didn't you say you broke up?"

"Make up." Yu Fan said coldly.

Wang Luan : "Didn't you say that guy is ugly, annoying and pestering and that you were blind for talking to him in the first place ......"

Yu Fan: "Blind again."

Zuo Kuan : "In that case, you sneak off to play, he doesn't know anyway, we'll be sure to keep your secret ......"

Yu Fan : "Thanks, no."

His subject would have known by now if he didn't have sudden deafness.
