Although Chi Fang was playing with his mobile phone, his mind was always on Jiang Li and Feng Yu; in case Feng Yu, his stupid teammate, talked nonsense in front of Jiang Li and caused an awkward scene. Out of the corner of his eye, when he noticed that Jiang Li was watching him, he wanted to pretend he didn’t know; but Jiang Li’s gaze kept looking at him, making him uncomfortable.

… Look my ass, I’m not going to date.

Chi Fang complained in his heart and was so irritated by his gaze he simply glared back.

The two lines of sight met each other and Jiang Li suddenly smiled at Chi Fang.

It was a smile from the heart, without a bit of alienation and disguise, it was an overly real and beautiful smile which stunned Chi Fang. He looked at him fixedly and forgot to react.

At this moment, the unknown song that he had heard before rang ‘ding dong’ in his mind non-stop, and the scenes of spending time with Jiang Li the past few days flashed before his eyes bit by bit.

The heartbeat of “thump” echoed in his ears, and the noisy classroom suddenly quieted down. The students who were passing by back and forth suddenly disappeared one by one. The only place that Chi Fang’s sight could see was the one who smiled at him in front.

Shit, I’m dead.

Chi Fang heard a voice in his heart saying: I’m not straight, I want to date.

Realizing his filthy thoughts, Chi Fang avoided Jiang Li’s sight in embarrassment and left the classroom as if he was escaping.

He ran straight to the bathroom on the first floor, turned on the faucet to the maximum in front of the sink, bent down, and scooped up the water to wash his face.

… Calm down Chi Fang, he’s a guy.

Chi Fang propped up his hands on the edge of the basin and looked at himself with his face full of water in the mirror. He brainwashed himself over and over again in his heart, but no matter how he brainwashed it, Jiang Li’s earlier smile was firmly engraved in his mind, and he couldn’t wash it away. He even felt that he seemed to have seen such a pure smile at some point in time.

He lowered his head and washed his face again. He then took a deep breath and waited for the violent throbbing in his heart to slowly pass before reaching out to turn off the faucet.

At this time, two people happened to come out of the bathroom. One of them hooked the other’s shoulder and said, “Chen Jialin, Lao Zhao invited us to go to the Internet cafe to play games at noon. Would you like to come together?”

The three words “Chen Jialin” caught Chi Fang’s attention, he turned his head to look over, and the two of them also saw him.

“Hi, Chi ge.”

One of them was a classmate from the same class as Chi Fang during Senior 1. He had played basketball with Chi Fang before. When he saw Chi Fang, he greeted him aloud. The other person turned pale when he saw Chi Fang and took a step back.

“What’s your name?” Chi Fang’s gaze landed on the other person.

The other party didn’t answer and took two steps to the side. He exerted force on his leg, wanting to run away. Chi Fang took a lunge, grabbed his collar, and threw him back, directly throwing the person to the ground.

“Chi ge?!” Another person was taken aback by his sudden action. “What’s wrong?”

“What’s his name? From which class?” Chi Fang motioned towards the person on the ground with his chin and asked him.

“Chen, Chen Jialin, he used to be in Senior 1 Class 5, and now he’s in the same class as me, Senior 2 Class 4.”

“Chen Jialin from Senior 1 Class 5, then I didn’t find the wrong person.” Chi Fang raised a smile on his lips, moved his neck, and said to the person standing, “It’s none of your business, you can go.”

The other party hesitantly glanced at Chen Jialin on the ground, and finally chose to leave.

Chen Jialin watched Chi Fang approach him, got up quickly, grabbed the trousers’ bottom part of his school uniform, and said, “Chi ge, I know I’m wrong, I shouldn’t have asked someone to block Jiang Li, Qiang ge has already taught me a lesson, please spare me!!”

After Chen Qiang and others failed to block Jiang Li before, Chen Qiang turned around and cleaned up Chen Jialin after his injury recovered. He blamed him for not clarifying the relationship between Chi Fang and Jiang Li and causing them to suffer a loss in vain.

Although Chen Qiang couldn’t beat Chi Fang, he wasn’t an easy character in front of others. Chen Jialin was beaten by him, and he was discharged from the hospital after lying in the hospital for two days. Until he was discharged, Chen Jialin still didn’t know when Jiang Li was involved with Chi Fang. The two were even good brothers.

As soon as he came out of the bathroom and saw Chi Fang, he subconsciously wanted to run, but he couldn’t move faster than Chi Fang.

“Spare you?”

Chi Fang laughed lightly, the shadows in his eyes were flickering, and his emotions couldn’t be seen clearly. He suddenly raised his foot and directly kicked Chen Jialin to the ground, immediately bent over and grabbed his collar to lift him up.

“Did Jiang Li beg you for mercy like this back then? What about you? Have you guys spared him?” Chi Fang looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at useless trash.

…

“I’ll teach you now, there are some people you can’t touch, understand?”

…

In the classroom, Jiang Li looked thoughtfully in the direction Chi Fang had left and slowly stood up from the ground.

“Little cutie.”

He called out to System in his heart, “Tell me, who else is playing this game besides me?”

“I’m sorry, Lord Host.” System’s voice was apologetic, “This involves the privacy of other hosts, so I’m sorry I can’t answer.”

“In other words, there are indeed other people playing this game, right?” Jiang Li asked in a different way.

System didn’t speak, which meant that it was a silent acquiescence.

There were rules to the game, and Jiang Li didn’t want to force the system. He thought in a different direction. Since he could be selected by System to traverse to every world to complete the task, why didn’t he think that it was also possible for Jiang Zhan? It was just that he took the script of the one who did the capturing, while Jiang Zhan took the script of the one being captured.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li’s heart pounded violently and the corners of his lips couldn’t help but slowly rise.

Whether it was the name Jiang Nuomi or his birthday on May 21, he didn’t believe that it was all just a coincidence, and all he needed now was further confirmation.

On the other side, Chi Fang tidied up his school uniform, and without looking at all at Chen Jialin who was curled up in the corner, he opened the door of the toilet and went out. After walking two steps, he saw his classmate was still standing outside. When his classmate saw him coming out, he nodded and called out Chi ge.

Chi Fang raised his eyebrows. “Are you guarding for me?”

The other party scratched his head and smiled. “Today is the first day of school, it will be more troublesome for the teacher to find out.”

“True.” Chi Fang nodded, reached out and patted the other’s shoulder, walked past him, and left two words, “Thank you.”

“Chi ge, you’re welcome!”

After Chi Fang cleaned up Chen Jialin, he returned to the classroom in a comfortable state of mind and body. He found that everyone had finished cleaning, and couldn’t find Jiang Li and Feng Yu when he looked around. He grabbed a boy next to him and asked, “Where’s Jiang Li?”

The other party looked confused: “I don’t know, Chi ge, he was still here just now, why not I go and find him for you?”

“I’ll go by myself.”

Chi Fang let go of the other party, and when he turned around and walked out of the classroom, he almost bumped into Jiang Li, who was about to come in. Fortunately, he took a step back in time.

“Where have you been?” Chi Fang asked.

“Where have you been?” Jiang Li also asked aloud at the same time.

“I went downstairs to wash my face.”

“I went to wash my hands.”

They answered in unison again, the two were silent for a few seconds, then suddenly looked at each other and smiled.

“The old man asked you to come back for dinner today, and asked us to drop by to buy vegetables when we go back.” Chi Fang said.

It was already time to dismiss now. Many students in the class had left the classroom one after another, and even Feng Yu had left earlier.

“Okay, I’ll take my things.” Jiang Li returned to his seat, took his backpack, and went downstairs with Chi Fang.

The two returned to the community’s market to buy vegetables. Jiang Li asked Chi Fang while walking, “What do you want to eat?”

Chi Fang said: “Anything, I don’t want onions and bitter gourd.”

When he was spending time with Chi Fang during the summer vacation, Jiang Li had long known that Chi Fang didn’t eat onions and bitter gourd. This was the same as Jiang Zhan, but Jiang Li never thought that the two were the same person before, and only regarded it as the world was big, and there were always people who had the same taste.

Now that the relationship between the two was connected, he found out that many details reflected that they were likely to be the same person.

While passing by a stall that was selling fish, Jiang Li wanted to try again, so he stopped, looked up, and asked Chi Fang, “Do you want to eat fish?”

“Sure.” Chi Fang had no objection, “What fish?”

Jiang Li looked at him and said slowly, “Sweet and sour mandarin fish.”

In the last life, after Jiang Li returned from participating in the live broadcast of “Face to Face Celebrity”, Jiang Zhan told him that he wanted to eat sweet and sour mandarin fish, and he wasn’t tired of eating it for three days, and Jiang Nuomi also followed him to eat for three days.

“Are you going to make it?” Chi Fang asked.

Jiang Li nodded, and Chi Fang said, “Sure, do you want to make another portion for Jiang Nuomi? One for me, one for him?”

——Jiang Zhan, you’re still eating Sweet and Sour Mandarin Fish today, aren’t you tired of it?

——It’s my pleasure, remember two, one for me, and one for Jiang Nuomi.

His words made Jiang Li couldn’t help but lower his head and laugh. The hole in his heart suddenly seemed to be slowly filled by something. After laughing, he said, “Okay.”

The two bought the ingredients and went back. As soon as the door was opened, Jiang Nuomi who was in the house rushed over from the sofa, and with the help of the shoe cabinet, it threw itself directly into Jiang Li’s arms.

Afraid that it would fall, Jiang Li hurriedly hugged it and reprimanded in a low voice, “Your leg has just recovered and you’re already being naughty.”

“Meow~” Jiang Nuomi pulled the clothes on his chest with its soft claws.

Jiang Li carried it in, and Chi Fang followed behind with the ingredients.

Chi Fang put the dishes on the kitchen counter, and as soon as he came out, he heard Jiang Li sitting on a chair teasing Jiang Nuomi, “Be a little more obedient, Daddy will make fish for you.”

“Meow~” He didn’t know if Jiang Nuomi understood him or not. It just kept calling towards Jiang Li.

Chi Fang looked at Jiang Nuomi who was acting completely differently in front of him and Jiang Li and looked at them with displeasure. “Why are you guys simply making up your relationship, if he calls you daddy, then what about me?”

He was older than Jiang Li, but he couldn’t be called Uncle, right? It felt like he was older than him by a generation.

Hearing his question, Jiang Li remembered how Jiang Zhan was angered by himself back then, and suddenly had an idea in his mind. He looked at Chi Fang with a smile: “You are my savior, just like my reborn parents 1 translated literally, meaning lifesaver , why not call you grandpa?”

Chi Fang: “…”

Grandpa your ass, I’m your grandpa!
