Who On Earth Bit Me? Chapter 102

Chapter 102: Extra – The Future Looks Promising

<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>

After the college entrance examination, the school organized estimated scores.

An Lan went to the supermarket and bought a big watermelon, placing it directly on his desk since it wouldn’t fit in the drawer.

In the front row, Qiao Chuluo, as well as Chen Naonao and Fat Flower behind, all had a watermelon each.

At first, Xu Xingran thought it was an agreement between An Lan and their little group. Later, he discovered that besides them three, many other students brought watermelons too.

Turning around, Xu Xingran was stunned. Even Xiao Chen brought a watermelon.

“After estimating the scores, is there any special activity? Like a watermelon-eating contest or something?” Xu Xingran asked.

“Tsk, I heard it’s a tradition in our Third High School.” Xiao Chen explained, “After estimating the scores, bring a watermelon. If the estimated score is not good, smash the watermelon, called ‘a sigh of relief.'”

“What if the estimated score is good?”

Xiao Chen tilted his head, “Xu Xingran, you usually seem to have a sharp mind. How come you’re acting silly now? If the estimated score is good, of course, we eat it—it feels sweet in our hearts!”

Xu Xingran chuckled, “Do you still believe in these things?”

“I don’t, but my family Lele believes it. As soon as I finished the exam, she enthusiastically bought me a big watermelon. With her thin arms and legs, she carried it all the way back for me. I have to give her face, right?”

“Okay, I’ll watch you eat watermelon later,” Xu Xingran said.

“Pff, you’re cursing me! Bite your head off!” 

An Lan patted his round watermelon, glancing at Gu Liyu and chuckling.

When the subject teachers came to guide the estimated scores, every student’s expression was exceptionally serious, and when in doubt, they all raised their hands and called out, “Teacher, teacher.”

But in the center of the classroom, the atmosphere seemed different.

Gu Liyu propped up his chin, and his other hand wrapped around An Lan’s shoulder. “Hmm, all the multiple-choice questions in math were correct. I’ll reward you with an iced cola tonight.”

“Get lost.”

An Lan’s face instantly turned red, and as he lifted his arm, the watermelon nearly rolled onto the ground.

“The big questions are almost full marks too. I’ll reward you with iced cola in the bathroom tonight.”

“I’ll find the class monitor to estimate my score,” An Lan’s face turned gloomy.

Xu Xingran clapped his hands, looking welcoming, “Well, I want to eat your watermelon later.”

Gu Liyu pressed An Lan’s head back, “Don’t you want to go to X Island?”

“I want to! Of course, I want to! But I don’t have that much money saved.” An Lan showed a regretful expression, “After I go to college, my parents have to support both me and my sister. I can’t ask them for money to go out and play.”

“I have it,” Gu Liyu replied.

“Going out costs money. I know, it must be from Auntie Song,” An Lan said, lowering his head to continue estimating the scores. 

“It’s not from them. The money to take you out, I earned it myself.” 

Upon hearing this, An Lan’s eyes lit up, and he leaned closer. “How did you earn it? Stocks? Dividends from the Gu family business?”

Who knew, on the other side, Xu Xingran leaned over and whispered, “I know—earned by seduction.”

“Ha?” An Lan heard this and thought something was wrong, “You… you’re being kept by a rich omega…?”

The words were not finished, and An Lan’s lower lip was bitten hard.

“Nonsense.”

“Then how did you earn it? Are you okay?” An Lan knew that Gu Liyu couldn’t possibly make money by seduction, but deliberately pretended to look surprised, “Does that rich omega demand something very, very high?”

Xiao Chen in the back row also leaned on the desk and laughed.

“When did you become a rich omega? Sponsor me to try.” After Gu Liyu finished speaking, he tapped An Lan’s head with the pen, “Hurry up and estimate your score, or else you won’t be allowed to go.”

“You won’t go without me. It’s not fun to go alone.”

“Sleeping at home with you is also very interesting.”

Gu Liyu’s “sleeping” definitely wasn’t a very relaxing “sleeping,” making An Lan shudder, lowering his head honestly to estimate his score.

The morning passed, and the head teacher, Bald Qiang, nervously came to the center of the classroom, looking at the few of them.

“How did you three do? Didn’t miss the target, did you?”

Xu Xingran smiled slightly, patted Xiao Chen’s watermelon in the back row, “Teacher, don’t worry. Look, didn’t we not smash this watermelon? We’ll eat it later.”

“Eating watermelon is good, eating watermelon is good!”

Bald Qiang didn’t leave immediately but looked at An Lan.

After all, An Lan had been tutored one-on-one by these teachers in the grade office for a long time. The teachers had put a lot of effort into helping An Lan catch up, so naturally, they had high expectations for him.

An Lan was stared at by Bald Qiang for so long before he reacted.

“Well… then… um… wait for me to invite you to a thank-you dinner! The best dishes and the best wine!” An Lan patted his chest, blinked his eyes.

“Little Lan Lan, bragging is useless. If you promise to go to X University’s journalism department, you just have to tell me if this score is enough.” Bald Qiang asked.

“Huh?” An Lan was stunned, “When did I say I wanted to go to X University? It was these three who said it!”

Qiao Chuluo in the front row turned around, patted his chest and said, “I’m scared to death! I really thought An Lan, you wanted to leave our class and enter the ranks of scholars!”

“He will apply to X University’s journalism department. If the estimated score is enough,” Gu Liyu said.

An Lan kicked him under the table. The scores hadn’t come out yet; how could he casually say that? What if he didn’t get in and was laughed at? Moreover, how high is the score line for X University? His score is not that stable; he wouldn’t dare to report casually.

“Is it really enough?” Bald Qiang asked.

“Yes, it’s enough,” Gu Liyu nodded.

An Lan widened his eyes, “Eh? Are you estimating my score or Gu Liyu’s score?”

Xu Xingran, leaning on his chin, smiled and said, “Clearly, the teacher trusts Gu Liyu’s judgment more when it comes to estimating your score.”

After the estimated scores were done, there were mixed emotions among the students.

Chen Naonao and Fat Flower walked past An Lan with drooping heads, hugging their watermelons, and asked, “Want to smash watermelons together?”

An Lan shook his head, “No smashing, I’ll eat normally.”

After saying that, Gu Liyu took out a fruit knife and a round spoon from his backpack, obviously prepared for cutting and eating watermelon.

“Ah! Ah! An Lan, you betrayed us!”

“An Lan, you belong to the bottom of the pyramid, who allowed you to climb to the top!”

Outside came the sound of watermelons being smashed one after another. Teachers and staff stayed quietly in the office or hallway, avoiding getting hit by watermelons.

Only the janitor sighed, “Such good watermelons. If picked up, they can still be eaten.”

“Aren’t you going out to smash watermelons?” An Lan poked Qiao Chuluo in the front row.

“No need. I played normally. Although I can’t go to X University, going to the same university as you is more than enough.” Qiao Chuluo showed a proud expression.

An Lan immediately happily picked up his watermelon and gave Qiao Chuluo a bump.

Gu Liyu divided An Lan’s watermelon in half. One half was cut and given to Xu Xingran, Fat Flower, and Chen Naonao, who had smashed watermelons. The other half was scooped out with a spoon, and the two of them ate it together.

“Is it sweet?” Gu Liyu scooped out the central part and gave it to An Lan.

“Sweet! It’s so sweet it’s deadly!”

After estimating the scores, An Lan thought Gu Liyu would take him home. After all, they needed to inform their respective parents about the estimated scores. However, Gu Liyu brought An Lan to his own small apartment. On the way, Song Kelan called, not asking about Gu Liyu’s scores but inquiring about An Lan’s.

“We should be going to X University together.”

This was not the first time An Lan heard Gu Liyu make such a confident and baseless statement.

“That’s great! That’s great! Son, Mom believes in you!”

“Yeah, I believe in myself too,” Gu Liyu replied.

An Lan squinted his eyes, always feeling that their conversation had other meanings.

“Why not go home?” An Lan asked.

“Don’t you think that after going home, there will be various questions about how you performed in the exam, whether it’s really good, whether reporting to this university or that university is stable, which can easily cause anxiety? The good mood originally present will become self-doubt.”

Gu Liyu retorted.

“That… makes some sense?”

“Let’s watch TV together. I’ll accompany you to relax. Isn’t that good?” Gu Liyu asked again.

“Yeah, sure.”

An Lan began to imagine a very pleasant evening. They would play games together, annihilating Xu Xingran and Xiao Chen.

But in reality, it seemed a bit different.

Gu Liyu ordered takeout, and the two of them watched several episodes of a comedy series in a row. An Lan laughed so hard that tears came out, but Gu Liyu, sitting beside him, didn’t laugh at all. He just kept watching An Lan with his face turned sideways.

Until after ten in the evening, Gu Liyu touched An Lan’s temple and said, “Let’s sleep.”

An Lan tilted his head. “Just sleep?”

Isn’t summer vacation supposed to be crazy with all-night gaming?

What about playing duo rank?

Sleeping at ten? They’re not kids, are they?

“Yeah.”

Gu Liyu went upstairs to the bedroom, and An Lan suddenly remembered the reward this guy promised after estimating the scores. Instantly energized, he went upstairs in two or three steps.

But found out that Gu Liyu didn’t even bring the cola.

Is it purely for sleep? Boring.

An Lan took his changed pajamas and went to take a shower. Just as he was about to turn around to close the door, Gu Liyu, wrapped in a bath towel, also came in, sitting on the edge of the bathtub and running water.

“Do you want to shower first?” An Lan asked with toothpaste foam.

Gu Liyu didn’t speak.

While spitting out toothpaste foam, An Lan looked at the other side with the corner of his eye.

Since he came back today, Gu Liyu had been very quiet. Of course, most of the time he was quiet, but at least he would express his opinions, such as when they were watching the TV series just now, if he found a certain joke not funny.

The quieter Gu Liyu was, the more An Lan felt that something big was brewing.

“Then you… enjoy your bath. I’ll go out and play for a while!”

Now, if he goes online, he might catch up with Xiao Chen and the others.

An Lan turned around to open the door, and Gu Liyu’s voice sounded.

“Come here.”

It was just two words, with a different flavor than usual.

As if soaked in moist steam, falling heavily on the heart, and a bit hoarse. From fingertips to the membranes of the heart, it seemed to pass through like electricity, tingling.

“Mm… ah?” An Lan turned slowly.

The scent of ambergris became more intense, and even if An Lan was dull, he understood that Gu Liyu was inviting him.

An Lan swallowed his saliva, turned around slowly, and leaned against the door.

Gu Liyu’s forehead was already dampened by steam, and his eyes were like a sea of ​​lapis lazuli. Wherever his gaze fell, An Lan gradually felt a warmth.

Gu Liyu didn’t say anything, just looked at him like that. The pheromones of the ambergris fragrance did not become more intense; on the contrary, it seemed more like a confession, a request, touching An Lan’s nerves, sticking to his breath.

An Lan’s throat became dry, even though the whole space was filled with steam.

Even though he knew what would happen if he walked over, An Lan couldn’t control himself. He came to Gu Liyu’s front, and the other party reached out to hold his face. An Lan instinctively lowered his head, and it was a moist and lingering kiss. At the most passionate moment, Gu Liyu suddenly hugged him.

An Lan hugged him instinctively.

Gu Liyu repeatedly kissed him, his fingers stroking An Lan’s nape, seeking An Lan’s consent.

I want to mark you.

An Lan took a sharp breath, pushed Gu Liyu away, and though he was looking at him, his mind was blank.

Droplets of water splashed down from Gu Liyu’s hair, falling perfectly on An Lan’s body, as if it had boiled, causing An Lan to shiver.

Gu Liyu’s hand reached out, he turned his face, eyelashes also moistened with water vapor, and asked softly, “Are you afraid of me?”

An Lan shook his head.

“I’ll be gentle.”

“Then… then…” An Lan opened his mouth but couldn’t continue.

Gu Liyu touched his lips lightly, “I can’t guarantee it won’t hurt, but I really want to mark you.”

An Lan never thought Gu Liyu would speak so honestly, so honest that he didn’t know how to respond.

“The world in university is broader than now. You will meet more outstanding people, maybe even those who are more attractive than me, or those who know how to chat and make you happy. Even if I mark you a thousand or ten thousand times, you still won’t belong to me. But I still want to mark you…”

Before Gu Liyu could finish his words, An Lan suddenly pounced, kissing him forcefully.

“I’m yours… I’m yours!”

Gu Liyu didn’t sit steadily and fell backward into the water. An Lan and him sank into the water together, and water flowed out as if they were immersed in warm currents. Gu Liyu held him tightly.

From the time of estimating scores to the day of the college entrance exam results, Xu Xingran, Xiao Chen, Qiao Chuluo, and others made countless calls to An Lan, but he didn’t answer any.

Qiao Chuluo suspected that An Lan might be depressed and avoided the crowd due to not doing well in the exam.

Until the afternoon after the release of the exam results, Xu Xingran called An Lan several times in a row, and finally, Gu Liyu answered.

“Hello, what’s up?”

Xu Xingran hesitated on the other end, “Uh? Is this Gu Liyu? Since you two didn’t come to see the results, I called to ask.”

“Results are out?” Gu Liyu asked indifferently.

Hearing this, An Lan, who was lying on the bed in a daze, opened his eyes and finally managed to snatch the phone from Gu Liyu.

“Class Monitor? Results are out? Help me check…”

“Why does your voice sound like this? What about the celebration for the end-of-term banquet? Where are we going?” Xu Xingran asked with a smile.

“End-of-term banquet… How did I do in the exam? Class Monitor! Class Monitor!”

“Tsk. Your score is quite auspicious. 666!”

“Really? Then, I… have enough points to go to X University!” An Lan straightened up suddenly, but the pain made him immediately lie back down, almost rolling under the bed.

Gu Liyu reached out and pulled him back.

On the other end of the phone, Xu Xingran laughed, “An Lan, let me treat you to a bowl of red bean soup to replenish your blood.”

An Lan’s face immediately turned red, “I only drink cola, not red bean soup!”

The summer vacation passed by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, An Lan and others were about to report to X University.

At the airport, An Lan’s parents repeatedly admonished him, almost following him all the way.

Gu Liyu’s parents, on the other hand, were comforting all the time.

“Don’t worry, with our little Yu taking care of him, he will surely eat well, drink well, and be full of energy!”

Xu Xingran stood by, hands in his pockets, and whispered, “Eating well and drinking well is inevitable, but being full of energy is not guaranteed!”

“Huh? Why?” Xiao Chen asked curiously.

An Lan pushed Xiao Chen’s face away.

The three of them passed through security laughing and flew to another city.

It was another segment of life that they had imagined countless times but might exceed their imagination.

It was the future.

Two months later, in the library of X University, An Lan was sleeping on the desk, and Gu Liyu was reviewing beside him.

Several girls wanted to get closer, but they were deterred by Gu Liyu’s imposing aura and didn’t dare to approach. It was only when Xiao Chen arrived late, throwing his schoolbag on the opposite side of Gu Liyu, that he raised his eyebrows and said, “Gu Liyu, you’re amazing. After being the school grass in our high school, you’ve come to be the school grass at X University?”

“Hmm?” An Lan raised his head slowly.

Xiao Chen pointed behind, “See that? At least one line forms for those who want to get close to Gu Liyu!”

An Lan glanced over and then continued to sleep.

Those interested in Gu Liyu had no choice but to wander around him, and then they all laughed simultaneously.

Because there was a note posted on Gu Liyu’s back: This person belongs to An Lan, do not touch without permission.

Xiao Chen sat across from An Lan, laid down to sleep, and after another class, Xu Xingran arrived.

An Lan reserved a seat for Xu Xingran with his schoolbag. When Xu Xingran passed by An Lan’s back, he paused, “Tsk, you two are really made for each other.”

“Huh? What?” An Lan raised his head to ask.

Xu Xingran pointed behind him, and An Lan reached back and found that there was also a note on his back, with Gu Liyu’s powerful handwriting: This person belongs to Gu Liyu, no touching allowed.
