However, the male protagonist loves the villain

Chapter 69

The summer of the second year of high school was extremely hot.

Fortunately, the air conditioner in the city library is fully turned on, making it very cool.The green leaves outside the window are reflected in translucent green.In the window, Pei Lin was not seriously reading a book, but pretended to hold a book and peek at people through gold-rimmed glasses.

Huo Xiuxun was seriously fiddling with the computer opposite.

His hair hasn't been cut for a while, it's grown long, and a little wolf's tail grows from his neck.His hair color is as natural and light as his amber eyes. Pei Lin will use a small rubber band to tie his pigtails when he has nothing to do recently.

Da-da, da-da.

The hall was quiet, only Huo Xiuxun's slender, white fingers could be heard nimbly typing on the keyboard.Last year, he successfully caught the "fish" as planned, and after experiencing Chu Xun's test of him, he successfully got a special offer from a top university through mediation.

After enrolling, what awaits him will be four years of continuous investigation and task test.If you pass the inspection, most of them will be absorbed by one place after graduation.

Background and past experience are often not worth mentioning in front of powerful special talents.Family status will not particularly affect him then.

In the evening, the library is closed.

Walking one bus stop to the east from the main entrance is the snack street in the local university town.Along the way, there were no people on the street at sunset.

The two carried their schoolbags and walked side by side.

As they walked, Huo Xiuxun stretched out his hand silently.

The remaining warmth of the sun dyed the street into a warm dark orange, and the two hands were quietly and naturally held together.

The street is quiet, only the breeze, this scene is like any ordinary and warm school story.

……

As night fell, the two mingled among the bustling crowd at the snack street in the university town, and ate a full meal of Mala Tang.The University Town is located in a remote area where you can't get a taxi. Fortunately, there are buses, but the road to the bus station has not been repaired and is full of potholes.

It had rained a few days ago, and it was muddy.

When he walked to a place where his shoes would get dirty, Pei Lin was picked up. Before he could react, he smelled the faint fragrance of detergent on Huo Xiuxun's T-shirt.

Pei Lin: "..."

During this period of time, he was often taken care of in such a delicate way.

I also gained a lot of new understanding of "the days of living with the real seth".

Seth's version of Huo Xiuxun occasionally showed some youthfulness similar to before.He is relatively quiet on weekdays, loves to read books, is emotionally stable, does not do things, and is not good at preparing gifts and surprises.

Up to now, during Chinese New Year, Pei Lin is in charge of the affairs between the two of them.

For example, on Huo Xiuxun's birthday last year, when he hung small lanterns with stars in the rented house and filled the room with balloons of various colors covering the bed and floor, Seth would pretend to be calm, but his amber eyes would light up slightly.In addition, it is up to Professor Pei to arrange various big activities, including outing in spring, playing in the water in summer, collecting fallen leaves in autumn, and building snowmen in winter.

For other big and small festivals, he will also carefully prepare various small gifts, sometimes hidden in various strange places for Huo Xiuxun to find by accident, and sometimes he will suddenly wake him up in the middle of the night, so that he can't get them right away. Sleep all over the house to find.

Pei Lin didn't know before that he was a person who was good at making things happen.

And I didn't know it before, but I am quite proactive.

However, the various daily routines outside the festival, and the relationship between the two are more quietly dominated by seth.

He was very good at guessing Pei Lin's thoughts.

Most of the time, Professor Pei is just some subtle movements and expressions that he didn't pay attention to, and he knows what he wants.In daily life and before going out, Huo Xiuxun will also be extremely careful to help him think of various details and bring all the things he needs.

Sometimes, he would control Pei Lin a little more forcefully.

This is not allowed, that is not allowed, this is unhealthy, that is unhealthy, and even make some decisions for Pei Lin.

It is said that mature adults would not like others to intervene in making decisions for them.But seth is strong because the decision he made for Pei Lin was fully based on the fact that he had guessed Pei Lin's thoughts, so that the behavior that should have lacked a sense of propriety actually manifested itself as strong and powerful. Charming without being obnoxious.

Therefore, the youthful and introverted sense of youth for a while, and the elegant and calm aggression of an adult male for a while, achieved an obviously exquisitely designed balance art in this person.

It is simply an ideal partner tailor-made and well-designed for him.

Pei Lin was convinced in his heart, this person really deserves to be a man who has been successful in foreign wealthy circles at a young age and is able to do a job with ease.

……

In the evening, the two returned to Huo Xiuxun's house together.

In fact, Pei Lin couldn't remember exactly when he started moving ants, and moved here little by little.

Anyway, since last year, Pei Libin and Tang Caiping have been devoting themselves to the business of the listed company. The couple don't go home all the year round and stay at the headquarters of the company in other places. They often don't remember to call their only son once a week.

Then according to the general dramatic conflicts in the "book world", in this period of chaos, the "well-behaved and excellent son" was abducted by someone, which can be regarded as a reasonable development.

In short, the two of them lived together so vaguely.

In a blink of an eye, we have lived together for more than half a year.

On the contrary, he never made a decent confession, and even on the surface, Pei Lin was not sure whether he had an official boyfriend status.Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the only thing that seems to be able to determine the relationship is that Liberty gave himself a ring in the Frostfall World seth, and then gave him a similar one, that's all.

But how do you say it?

In fact, according to his imagination in his previous life, the life suitable for him should be like this - one day he meets someone he likes, and the two of them will naturally live together, living a peaceful and picturesque life.

It fits his character very well.

Of course, he has matured a lot in his life, and he is not someone who is completely unwilling to achieve romance and a sense of ritual.

If the other party wanted him to do some grand and famous occasions, such as a public confession, such as a marriage proposal, Pei Lin was not unable to do it.

After all, he is not as twisted and awkward as Seth, and he doesn't have much psychological pressure to do embarrassing things.Of course, even though he could do it, it was really hard for him to imagine what kind of strange painting style he would have when he was placed in that kind of scene.

The sound of the shower stopped, and after a while, Huo Xiuxun came out of the bathroom with wet hair.

Drops of water fell from his jaw.He turned on the bedside lamp and took a book. The bed in the rental house was not big, but the two of them slept in tacit agreement for half a year and neither one complained.Every night before going to bed, the two of them read books separately, and have academic exchanges from time to time.

Of course, recently Professor Pei has developed a new hobby - when Xiao Xun is seriously reading beside him, he pretends to be reading, and from the corner of his eye, he secretly admires his handsome profile.

Pei Lin didn't think he was some man-marking maniac.

I like to watch, the first reason is that Xiao Xun is good-looking.The second is also because there is often a feeling that the person around me is both familiar and unfamiliar, and I can't get enough of it.

The familiar part is the little Xun he raised with his hands.The strange part is the quiet, mysterious and dream-provoking sexiness exuded by the joints of his fingers, the curvature of his Adam's apple, the slightly drooping eyes and the reddish corners of his eyes.

We've been living together for half a year, and nothing has happened.

For some people, this is the same as when they were young.Even though they were all sleeping on the same bed, they were still extremely restrained.

It seems that someone really made up his mind to be a virgin for two lifetimes.

Pei Lin's initial attitude towards this was, of course, "respect and blessing", but recently he has changed his normal routine, repeatedly taking the initiative to play tricks on Huo Xiuxun, kissing him, and pushing him down on the bed.

Because he thought about it again, he himself didn't really want to be a virgin for two lifetimes.

He has had such a good life in this life, many good experiences and many regrets have been made up, why must he keep one in the end?He is also too lazy to emotionally counsel some people. Anyway, Seth often watches him swallow, but refuses to have sex with him. There must be a particularly weird logic behind it.

He doesn't need to know what that logic is, he just needs to be soft and hard to achieve his goal.

People don't kill heaven and earth for themselves.Every time he kisses Huo Xiuxun, Seth's heartbeat will be fast, he will pant, and he will act in a daze and do some very unrestrained behaviors towards him, but no matter how hard he is, Huo Xiuxun will always force himself Sober, with a look of grief and indignation again, cutely frantically struggling to escape.

Pei Lin was not in a hurry.

Sometimes, the twists and turns before reaching the final goal are also interesting.

The people around me have been quietly reading the book for an hour.

Pei Lin: "Hey."

Huo Xiuxun was poked with the tip of his toe.Pei Lin tried and tested repeatedly, and every time he scratched La Huo Xiuxun's leg, he could see intense shock and doubt in the amber eyes of the male moral student.

That look is particularly easy to read—how could Professor Pei do such a thing?Professor Pei shouldn't do such a thing!

"Little Xun," he said, "I actually think that the little dinosaur... can come back once in a while."

Huo Xiuxun was stunned.

Pei Lin looked at him with gray eyes.The current Xiao Xun is so obedient, so obedient that it makes people feel distressed.He really likes his mature and stable personality now, but he also hates that he is always like this.

What about my little dinosaur that can make trouble?

Let it out occasionally, don't suppress it for too long.

Huo Xiuxun finally put down the book.

But then, he paused, and asked Pei Lin a question that he couldn't figure out.

"Am I, weird?"

Although Pei Lin has been able to understand most of Seth's magical brain circuits after years of training, he really failed to understand them today.And when he wanted to ask more questions, Huo Xiuxun had already turned around and went to the kitchen to make coffee.

The coffee machine roared for a long time before he finally came back and handed the coffee to Pei Lin.

The coffee is very fragrant, suitable for staying up late, Pei Lin drinks it.

"Professor Pei prefers me...the way I used to be?"

Pei Lin understood.

He shook his head bluntly: "I prefer the current one." After thinking about it again, some people are too sensitive and may not be satisfied with this answer, so he continued to add: "I also like the previous one, all of them."

Huo Xiuxun pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.

"But has Professor Pei ever thought that I may, in fact... not have a 'definite' personality at all."

Back then those people called him "Chameleon".

This title is not only because he was good at judging the situation in the business field and being able to deal with all kinds of people with ease, but also because his emotions and acting styles often have no rules to follow, making people unpredictable. Bottomless.

In fact, it is still not true.

There is no trace of what he does, because he is essentially a broken container, made up of various scattered things, so where is the pattern?

It is also because of this that he can be a little dinosaur, a little Xun, and a seth.And at the same time nobody.

Huo Xiuxun lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly.

If someone like him was really thrown into the "book world", he wouldn't be the "male lead".What kind of "male protagonist" has such fragmented personality changes and completely inconsistent words and deeds like him?It will certainly be questioned.

But in fact, he is such a thing.

something broken.

The air was suddenly cold, Huo Xiuxun subconsciously squeezed closer to Pei Lin.

Professor Pei's side is very warm.

For a long time, with Professor Pei's level, Huo Xiuxun did not believe that he would not feel the fragmentation, chaos and disorganization that filled him.But for so long, Pei Lin never seemed to think that this was a problem, neither trying to correct him nor trying to mend him.

He thinks he is cute, based on the full acceptance of all parts of him, good and bad.

As for the little dinosaur made again, no matter how broken a heart is, after a long time... he will want to pick it up again, fight hard by himself, and try to pretend to be the best in his eyes.

"You're really thinking about strange things every day," Pei Lin sighed, "Who said you don't have a 'definite personality'?"

Huo Xiuxun looked at him.

In Seth's eyes, there was a rare trace of the pity of the little dinosaur in the past.

"If you don't have a 'definite personality', then why are you hiding? If you really don't have a 'definite personality', you shouldn't keep hiding when I keep recruiting you."

Huo Xiuxun regretted it, but he couldn't escape if he wanted to.

During this time, there was one sentence that he had been afraid to say.He really thinks that Professor Pei is good at everything else, but it just seems...

Not enough chastity?

Living together, I always want to get started with him, tease him every day, and use all kinds of tiger and wolf words.After all, he is a normal man, with such a young body of seventeen or eighteen years old, he will think about how he can't resist being teased! ! !

Sometimes I really want to sit down with Professor Pei and have a talk, but I don't know where to start.

Because he couldn't let him know that he had been secretly in love for so long and cared about it very much. Some things were...very important to him!

Can't just...

Although, he also knew that the world was on the verge of crumbling.

Maybe choosing "timely gratification" will not leave any regrets, maybe it is indeed a loss for a day late.He also knew that Pei Lin's treatment of him was not considered sympathy, let alone charity.

But he liked him, really liked him for a long time, not for this.

……

In the third year of high school, there was suddenly a lot of uneasy news around the world.

War, tsunami, flood, desertification.School gossip and popular tabloids were all kinds of alarmist, and legends about the end of the world were spread like magic.

Pei Lin has actually seen this kind of thing in the real world.

The end of the world predicted in the Book of Revelation will happen in 2000.Later, 2012 was prophesied by the Mayans, and related disaster movies were made, and then the clay tablet of the Assyrians was unearthed in 2800 BC, which is still the oldest prophecy of the end of the world recorded by human beings. It spread panic.

In the end it turned out to be false.

Therefore, he could have laughed off all kinds of seemingly nonsensical "eschatology" nowadays.If it weren't for the data of the whole world collapsing day by day, if it wasn't for him passing by that eye-catching donut shop every day after school.

So far, he has never bought the donuts inside.

Although it used to be his favorite food.

Elvin Yang: "According to my personal experience, the relative flow velocity of time in the Philae world to the outside is the same as the relative flow velocity in the Frostfall world relative to the Philae world. It is almost relatively static."

"Of course, not as slow as 'Still'."

"I went through three reincarnations starting when I was about ten years old, and I was forced to clear out of the third reincarnation. The time spent in the outside world was about five to six working days in total."

"At the beginning of each reincarnation story, Seth's age starts at the age of ten. For him, this time should be an important node in his life."

"And at the end of each reincarnation, I have never seen him live past the age of 28. So I guess, maybe the time in the world of the Temple of Philae may not be able to beat the knot of real time in the real world."

"So there is a high probability that if there is an end to this reincarnation, it will be before you are 28 years old."

"Even earlier."

Because, although the system of the Temple of Philae is still barely functioning, the small world of Frostfall has already begun to collapse.

The original beautiful and quiet small world has more than half of its content eroded by irreparable darkness. This point was discovered by Alvin Yang, Pei Lin, and it is even more impossible for Seth not to notice.

But they were tacit, and no one said anything.

The days go on day by day.In June, graduation ceremonies, and in September, entering college.The donut shop moved directly, and opened next to the wall of the university, and life went on as usual.

……

Huo Xiuxun finally experienced the free university life he had longed for in his previous life.

Beautiful birch trees, quaint teaching buildings covered with vines, students from all over the world, and an open campus atmosphere.You can wear any casual clothes you want, wear earrings as you like, keep your hair long and tied up freely, and skip classes at will without being chased and scolded by teachers and principals.

You can also take your student ID card to buy half-price tickets for various attractions.

Their school is quite tall, and as soon as they show their student ID cards, they will get all kinds of envious looks.Especially Huo Xiuxun is too good-looking, and he doesn't look like a good student. People often look at the certificate, then look at him, then look at the certificate confirmation, and then look at him.

"The grades are so good, so amazing!"

Huo Xiuxun is always happy to experience this kind of small pride over and over again.

After entering school for half a year, Huo Xiuxun got his driver's license and bought a car. He took Pei Lin out for a drive when he had nothing to do after class.

The money is self-earned. Seth was raised by Professor Pei for eight full years, and finally became a financially independent man.

Facts have proved that having skills does not necessarily mean engaging in illegal activities, you can also earn money by working for one place.

There are not many students who buy a car in their freshman year. He is handsome, and he looks like a nobleman with every gesture. There are also a few handsome friends such as Pei Lin, and Tao Xiaoning, who is in the next-door college, is so beautiful and eats like him. The cute little sister of the little hamster is a typical winner in life.

As a result, he quickly became famous in school, and everyone envied him.

University life is as beautiful as imagined.If there was any headache, it would be that he and Pei Lin rented a house off campus to live together.

Although they lived together since high school, it is only logical that they continue to live together.

But recently, Professor Pei treats him really...

It's fine to tease him in all kinds of ways, isn't it too much to pretend that you haven't woken up in the morning and step on him with bare feet?

……

In his sophomore year, Huo Xiuxun already relied on his excellent business ability to half-negotiate and half-threateningly ask a department to sign a post-graduation work contract with him in advance.

Few people dared to raise conditions with Chu Xun.

This young man named Huo Xiuxun made him so interesting that he couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he deliberately came over to take a look at him.

Huo Xiuxun didn't want to see him at all.

Many of Professor Pei’s colleagues are excellent and handsome, but others are very sensible, and they all have their own families since they joined the job. Only this Chu Xun has always been single. He not only likes to work overtime with Professor Pei, but also loves to be around In the words, Professor Pei classified him as a "type of person".

That day Huo Xiuxun carried Pei Lin behind his back and had a meal with this man. During the dinner, both of them were rebellious and full of gunpowder.

As expected, Chu Xun is the man who most resembles a criminal. Although he has signed a work contract, he also smiled and expressed his intention to "treat" Huo Xiuxun well after joining the job.

Huo Xiuxun was not afraid of him.

He secretly kept the contract, feeling proud of himself.But he didn't tell Pei Lin the news immediately, but waited for two weeks until Professor Pei's birthday.

It's a pity that Pei Lin was arrested by his instructor to work that day, and he had to stay until eight o'clock in the evening.

Huo Xiuxun picked up the ordered cake by himself first, and then stopped by the supermarket next to the school to buy wine.

After all these years, he is still not good at picking gifts, but at least this time he has good news to tell him-after graduation, they will be colleagues.

He thought, downcast and smiling.

Huo Xiuxun deliberately picked fruit wine with low alcohol content.Beware of someone pretending to be drunk and then pretending to be drunk for pranks, holding his wrist with fingertips and moving up a little bit, or directly nibbling his neck.

Professor Pei has gotten worse recently, he thought, his back feeling slightly hot.

Unfortunately, in this moment of distraction, he was bumped by a rash kid who ran into the supermarket, knocking the customized cake to the ground.

The parents of the children kept apologizing.But it's such a big night, if I want to find a cake shop to make a new one, I'm afraid it will be too late.

Huo Xiuxun felt that all of this seemed to be a coincidence.

Under the night sky, he walked quickly to the cake shop. The cake shop was closed, only the donut shop next to it was still open, with transparent glass and wind chimes swaggering softly.

……

When Huo Xiuxun returned home, Pei Lin hadn't returned yet.

It just gave Huo Xiuxun enough time to tidy up the room and the table. Their small home is not big, but it is full of fun. The painting of fox leaves when they were young is still preserved, and now it is hanging on the wall above the dining table, in a vase The new roses delivered every week are blooming beautifully.

After finishing it, he was a little hungry, so he opened the refrigerator and secretly drank a pot of milk soup crucian carp that Professor Pei made for him.

Then, he went to the kitchen, took out the best-looking white porcelain plate in the house, and placed the newly bought beautiful and delicious donuts on it.

Just now, he finally mustered up the courage and walked into the store.

In fact, he may, and is not as vulnerable as Professor Pei thought.

Maybe he should have told Professor Pei long ago that in the face of such a peaceful and warm day, he, like him, was more indulging in it and enjoying happiness rather than anxiety.

Thinking of this, the phone rang softly and received a new message from Pei Lin: I'm off work.

Huo Xiuxun jumped up and quickly ran downstairs to pick him up.Their hut was very close to the school, and they would definitely run into each other on the road, but he still started running, because even if it was just a moment earlier, it would be nice to meet.

He ran downstairs, the moon was beautiful that night.

He kept running until he saw a figure waiting in the distance on the street full of street lights, and then he stopped suddenly.

A pain that pierced through his chest, and he could hardly stand up—

This moment, this life, this life.Is this another possibility that his life should have had...

A long time ago, he was a teenager.Sentimental, miserable and powerless, with no future in sight.In the embarrassing and suffocating years of desperately packing up his heart so that it would not be broken, the other half of the soul was by his side, but he couldn't see it.

But if at that time, he can take a long-term view and be brave.

……

That night, Huo Xiuxun seemed to have turned back into a little dinosaur again. He curled up under the quilt and leaned against Pei Lin's arms.

For the first time, they discussed many topics that had been tacitly avoided.
