【Nain】Did they start dating today?

Chapter 11

Did they start dating today?

--No.

Time always passes faster than people think, and the only thing that runs faster than time is... rumors.

The third semester started on a day when the early cherry blossoms had not yet bloomed, the streets still had a New Year atmosphere, but the weather was still cold.

On the first day of the new year and the new semester, the teenager Cam, who was about to become a sophomore in two months, stared at his classmate and buddy who was reading a book while waiting for the bus with a devilish expression.

"Yi, Inaho? Why did you go to school alone?!" Cam was so surprised that his voice changed.

"Do you still want my sister to send me to school?" Inafan gently closed the book, looked at his friend, "Cam, you look so bad, did you overeat during the Chinese New Year?"

"I didn't overeat! No, why don't you go to school with Slein?" Cam couldn't hold back, and asked the question that cared most in his heart.

Inafan looked at him strangely. It wasn't too warm today, and Cam felt the temperature around him dropped several degrees. You see, even the Labrador, which was taken out by the owner for a walk early in the morning to lose weight, suddenly He even sneezed several times.

Inafan replied flatly, "I'm not that familiar with him."

Cam's jaw dropped in surprise.You are not familiar? !Hell, didn't you all sleep together?How can I be unfamiliar? !

"But, didn't you go to the aquarium together on Christmas?" Cam bumped Inaho with his elbow, "You were locked up in the aquarium all night, everyone knows."

"That was just an accident." Inafan frowned, "How did everyone know?"

"Ahem!" Cam coughed violently, "Then, that news has been reported!" Even if you die, you can't say that the mysterious user A?E posted this matter on the Internet, and not only did two people enter it. The photo of the aquarium is also accompanied by a photo of two people who were released from the aquarium by the staff early in the morning the next day.

In that photo, the two looked sleepy, sitting on the back seat of the ambulance that arrived, their hair was disheveled, but they looked much cuter than usual.The two were wrapped in the same blanket, which should have been put on by the staff, and the staff was holding another blanket in their hands, but these two guys completely ignored others and were willing to share a blanket together.

I don't know from which angle the photo was taken, and I can still see the hands of the two people holding each other tightly. Slein must be the one who was more sleepy, with his whole head resting on Inafan's shoulder. Inaho rested his chin on his fluffy pale blond hair, half-closed his eyes sleepily.

If it weren't for the lack of clarity in the photo, we would definitely be able to see traces of saliva at the corners of the mouths of these two people.

It's like this, and they said that nothing happened to them all night, how could anyone believe it!

Cam is all prepared for the first day of school, and he will be blinded by the picture of them holding hands and waiting for the bus together at the station!He is so lost now, what should he do!

"...We haven't seen each other since then." Inaho said, his voice was so small that only he could hear it.After Christmas, he also sent a New Year's message to Slein, but the other party didn't respond at all. What does this mean?He seemed to be able to come up with only negative answers, so he didn't think about it at all.

"Huh?" Naihe was still no match for Cam, whose ears were almost pricked up to the sky, but seeing Inaho's current appearance, he thought it would be better not to ask.

Once you fall into the "like" mood, your IQ will inevitably drop, even a genius like Inaho is not immune. He can't hide his thoughts now, with "so disappointed" and "I really want to meet" written all over his face. ", In another sense, Cam's dog eyes still suffered [-] points of damage.

In fact, Cam doesn't know why he is so concerned about this matter. It sounds unbelievable to match two boys and one of them is his good friend, but he really hopes...they can have a good relationship .

As if this could make up for some irreparable regret.

After returning to the classroom, Inaho was surrounded by people, and Nina asked with sparkling eyes: "Hey, what's the matter? Is the aquarium fun?"

"Has the relationship improved? When will we go on a date again?" Kisuke asked with a smile.

Those who didn't come around were also eavesdropping. They had never been so serious about the principal's speech at the opening ceremony—well, they didn't listen at all at that time.

Cam winked at the corners of his eyes twitching, but no one noticed.

"I came back with Cam today." The actor No. [-] replied blankly.

In an instant, dozens of lightning-like gazes from the whole class fell on Cam - what are you doing, you light bulb!

Cam lowered his head and pressed wildly, speaking in the private chat room that everyone jointly established—big news! Mr. I said that they haven't seen each other since that day in the aquarium!

Eh--! ! !

The chat room suddenly exploded. If Inafan paid attention at this moment, he would find that all his classmates lowered their heads and pressed their phones, and some teachers in the teacher's room accidentally dropped their hands into the fish tank.

"How could this happen!" "It's unscientific!" "What are you talking about when you're in a relationship? If you look at it scientifically, you're a virgin and single dog." "If you say I'm a virgin, stand up and I promise not to hit anyone!"

"It's fine if you don't hit the home plate all night, and the relationship is even more distant than before? I don't understand the world of the top student!"

"What are you doing, Cam?"

"Why is it my fault? Don't explode your vest, classmate Lai Ai!"

At this time, Lai noticed something was wrong, and the protagonist seemed to be missing a character.She asked: "Speaking of Slein? Didn't you come together?"

Because the atmosphere in the class suddenly became weird, the monitor, Yunzi, was looking around. After hearing this question, she replied: "Student Slein? He came early in the morning, and then he went to the student union. Inaho, what are you looking for?" he?"

Inaho Kaizuka, who is known as "a human-made problem-solving machine without any questions he can't answer", can't answer this question.

What do you want to say when you find Slein?Why don't you text me back?Why haven't you contacted me for so long?Why did you kiss me at the aquarium?Either question seemed too aggressive, but he was eager to know Slaine's answer.

He will never forget the feeling of his heart beating faster that night in the aquarium. It should be a terrible experience to be locked in a dark aquarium, but after that, he will always dream of the day when Slein slept on his shoulders, His side face is fair and beautiful. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that there would be a boy with such long and beautiful eyelashes, and his slightly parted lips were plump and soft. He could return a kiss as soon as he lowered his head.

It was a good dream he had had, and he simply didn't want to wake up.In addition to the gentle and beautiful dream, it is also because once he wakes up he has to go to the toilet to solve his physical needs.

Yunzi also fell asleep leaning against him like this when she was a child, but he didn't want to kiss her.

When I was in junior high school, I went on a class trip, and Cam was tired of playing and slept next to him with snot and bubbles, so he slapped him away mercilessly.

He never had such unspeakable thoughts about "friends", only Slaine was special.

Slein didn't take the initiative to look for him, but in fact he didn't take the initiative to contact him either. He didn't know how he, who had such feelings for Slein, would interact with him as usual, so it might be a good thing to keep a distance... Bar?

The bell for class was about to ring, the door of the classroom was pushed open, and Slein walked in with a sunny body.He probably ran back from the student union office, with puffy cheeks. If the cherry blossoms bloom in a while, it will be the color of his cheeks, right?

Inaho thought blankly, thanks to his facial paralysis, it seems that there is no violation.But at the moment, all he can think about is Slein with blushing cheeks lying on his bed, or leaning on his shoulder... Shocked by the images flooding his brain, Inafan quickly lowered his head to do the exercises to quickly cool down his overheated brain.

He thought, "falling in love" is really too difficult.

However, because of this, he missed the gaze that Slaine was looking at him.

"Hey, look, it's a bird."

Inafan was startled by Slein's voice, he raised his head, and saw the man stretching his arms towards him with a bit blurred vision, and a sparrow perched on his finger, combing its feathers as if no one else was there.There are also birds that can fly over the high walls of the prison and into this place that is used to let the only prisoner out.

Inafan came out from the shade of the tree and looked puzzled at Slein, who was not uncomfortable under the fierce sunlight. He always felt that this person seemed to be made of ice and snow, with an arrogant attitude and a difficult personality. Reticent is different, but they are quite similar in that they are difficult to approach.

However, he seems to like bright places.

"It's rare for sparrows to be so close to people." Inafan approached a little bit, and the sparrow was so round that it almost became a ball.

"Because I often feed them bread..." The man seemed very proud.

"Where did you get the bread?"

"I hid it secretly during the meal... um." Slein realized that he had slipped his tongue, but it was too late, and his supervisor showed a dangerous expression.

"So you didn't eat properly."

"It's the leftovers... Ah!" Slein yelled regretfully, because the sparrow flapped its wings and flew away because of being frightened. He turned to stare at Inafan and complained, "It's all your fault."

Inafan grabbed his hand that was still outstretched in the air, and dragged him into the shadow of the tree, "You stand under the sun for too long, you will suffer from heat stroke." As a result, before he sat down with Slain, he was first held by the other party. Sit on a tree root.

"Who is the guy with heat stroke?" Slein said angrily. Inafan felt dizzy and couldn't see the man's expression clearly, but his tone sounded a little anxious. Was it because of him?

Why... so happy?Kaizuka Inaho thought that his brain must be overheated.

"If you say I didn't eat well, do you have a good rest?" the man whispered, his voice was as cute as a sparrow chirping.

"It's okay, are you worried about me?" Inafan felt a little dizzy from the heat, and said something strange, "I used to know that I didn't care if I was in the rain."

"Have a good rest!" Slein seemed to grab his hand, his fingers were cold, which made him feel very comfortable, "If you fall down, the relaxed prison environment like mine will not be guaranteed... Hey! "

Inaho doesn't know what's wrong with him, and he just lay down on Slein's lap. Pretending to be sick and acting like a baby should only be done by children, but Inaho Kaizuka is almost 18 years old. It's not embarrassing at all.

Slein didn't push him away, and the clasped hands didn't separate.The wind under the shade of the tree was very refreshing, and he felt cool fingers touching his forehead, "Shouldn't the heat damage your brain?" He closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep but listening to the man talking to himself in confusion.

"Hey, hello... are you really asleep?" Slein asked repeatedly, his voice was very low, and although he looked very unhappy, he was actually very worried about waking him up.After a while, Inaho was really drowsy, and he suddenly heard a sound as light as the wind passing through the treetops.

"... Ho... Inaho... Kaizuka Inaho..."

It turned out that it was Slein calling him by his name. After the war, Slein was reluctant to call him by his real name, usually "Hi" and "You", and occasionally "You guy" and "Orange" Such titles that do not conform to noble etiquette.There are too few times when he calls him by his name seriously, and the only times he remembers are the few times on the battlefield.

Hateful, angry and strong voices.

Call my name more, use your gentle voice, even if you want me to lie and pretend to be asleep like a naive child, it doesn't matter, as long as you are still willing to call my name...

"Kaizuka Inaho, you are such an annoying guy."

"..." He thumped in his heart, thinking whether he should just get up?But then, he heard Slein say again: "But... I don't really hate you that much."

Ahh, it must be a dream, it would be so sad if this really happened and he fell asleep at that time...

Inaho Kaizuka fell asleep again in the laboratory, and when he woke up, the document covering his face fell to the floor.He didn't pick it up, the artificial intelligence operated the robotic arm to pick it up for him, and put it on the table.

"Thank you." He thanked the electronic screen.

You're welcome.After further adjustments, the conversation of the artificial intelligence became much smoother. It said: You seem to have had a good dream, Inaho Kaizuka.

Inaho didn't bother to correct its address anymore. I don't know why, but it should call itself "Mr. Kaizuka" or "Dr. Kaizuka" many times, but it didn't work at all, so I just let it go. After all, if it's the AI's own will, then they should be happy.

When the time comes, schedule your schedule and submit your application.

"Well, yes." Inaho picked up the document and walked out.He found the relevant departments, and many people were submitting various application materials. The young girl who received the documents already knew him, and couldn't help asking: "No matter how many times you are rejected, Jiezuka-kun is very persistent."

What he submitted was an application form for going to Mars to conduct research on related projects. Before that, he had been returned more than ten times, but every time he was returned, he still insisted on submitting.

"Because there is something about going to Mars anyway." He said calmly.

But the Martians won't welcome you, a war hero of the earth, will they?Everyone else at the scene thought so, but it was strange to say that although it was a bit subtle, as the Queen of Mars, who was a close friend of Kaizuka Inaho, she should be tolerant, right?

They didn't know that every time Inafan's application was rejected, it was signed by Queen Esailam herself.

She didn't want Inafan to come to Mars, she knew he came for Slein, but what's the point of coming to a planet where he was buried?So even though Jie Zhongxue begged her several times in private, she still refused coldly.

"I'm sorry, Miss Jiezuka, I can understand how you feel as a sister." When she was speaking, Queen Atheilam was thinking about her crying daughter who had been refusing to step out of the room for a long time. Sister, "I also did this for Inafan, he can't come. You didn't see what he looked like at that time, but I saw it. So... please let him stay on the earth. If he comes to Mars, he must -"

Will it get out of control again?She really didn't want to see the crazy and sad Inaho holding Slein's body anymore.He hid his face in his neck, stubbornly refused to look up, refused to listen to anyone explaining to him, and he held Slaine so tightly that it seemed that he would really die if he let go.

But...Inafan, Slein is really dead, whether you want it or not, you can only accept it.

But no matter how many times she rejects it, next time, the application with the name "Kaizuka Inaho" will still appear in front of her, right?

The clerk girl accepted Inafan's application. She didn't know that this form would be rejected no matter how many times she applied. She also smiled and wished Inafan: "I hope it goes well this time."

"Wow!" Another girl in the office suddenly called out, "That... so Kaizuka-kun is in love!" She saw the ring on Inaho's right ring finger.Now the good people are all excited, and they all come to watch. After all, this earth hero is also the most outstanding young researcher, and he seems to be a species that is insulated from "love"!

Among them, there was also a girl who was interested in Inaho and said unwillingly: "Don't talk nonsense, Kaizuka-kun might just wear it casually..."

But Inaho said, "I know what it means."

Are you in love?Yes, he is indeed in love, he has been in love with someone for a long time without knowing it, and that love has never cooled down.

It is impossible for him to love another person the way he loves him.

Ridiculous, right?Absurd, right?

Enemies from the beginning, never really seeing each other face-to-face, but always feeling like they've known each other for a long time.But they spent their best years fighting each other, and they didn't know each other's name until they were on the verge of death once.

However, the time to call each other's names is so short.

"It's going to be summer soon." The young girls were still chatting, and their topics always changed quickly. "It's terrible when it's too cold in winter."

Inaho didn't participate in their chat, and turned to leave.Yes, winter is really terrible, as if even the heart is frozen.So what if it's midsummer?Even if he is in the hottest place on earth, his heart is still only cold.

Only the body temperature of his lover can resolve this coldness, but he can no longer feel the temperature of embracing with the one he loves.

He remembered the dream just now, how long ago was that dream?On a distant, quiet and comfortable afternoon, the weather was hot and his fingertips were slightly cool. As beautiful as the dream was, the reality of waking up was as cruel.

He is not afraid to dream of that person when he falls asleep.

He was afraid that when he woke up, he would find that it was just a dream.

After school that day, a large pile of documents was thrown in front of Slein, which made him dazed for a while.The person who dropped the document said lightly, "Then I'll leave it to you, senior," and left with a smile on his shoulders with his companion.Although he is one year older than the common first-year students, Slein is still a real first-year student. The member of the student council who gave him a job just now is a senior in the second grade. He called Slein like that, in fact. Sarcastic about his relationship with Esther's classmate, saying that he has more experience as a follower of the Martian princess than anyone else.

If you quarrel, it will make it difficult for Esther. In the school of the earthlings, let a Martian be the leader of all the students, and some people will always be dissatisfied.I believe Esther also knows this, but she still accepts such people to work in the student union, because she is always willing to give anyone a chance.

She once said to Slein in an email: "I will be in charge of a planet in the future, Slein, what a trivial matter."

She will definitely become a gentle and powerful queen in the future, so I can't hold her back.There are people like that "senior" everywhere, and he is used to it.He is a knight, and if his monarch does not bow his head, he will never admit defeat.

The consequence of being brave is to take over a lot of jobs that don't belong to him, but that's fine, Slein sighed, and opened the file. In fact, he ran to the student union office during this period of time because he wanted to avoid Inafan .

The New Year was coming soon after the previous Christmas. The parents of Jiezuka’s family rushed back from abroad to reunite with the children. How could he, as an outsider, disturb other people’s family reunion?And at the turn of the new year from the old to the old, even Slein's father temporarily put down his work. He was still so different. He directly booked a plane ticket for his son, and they went back to Northern Europe to celebrate the New Year with relatives.

Although after boarding the plane, Slein saw his father.

The New Year's holiday passed quickly, and on New Year's Eve, he received Inafan's New Year's greeting text message, but because he was on the plane with jet lag, by the time he saw it, the best time to reply had passed.This is too impolite, but what should he do... Slein was very melancholy lying on the table, he didn't know how to talk to Inafan normally, because...

boom!Thinking of what happened in the aquarium, Slein slammed his head on the table, and then held the painful place, feeling that he had calmed down.

Kiss, kiss, kiss... He kissed Inaho!I kissed someone out of nowhere, although it was because I was too sleepy so I was dazed, but it's not rude to kiss someone else's family!Even if it only touched the cheek... No, no, no, Slein shook his head desperately, what does "only" mean?Is there any other place you want to kiss Inaho? !How shameless it is!

Counting it, it has been almost a month since the start of school, but Slein and Inafan have not spoken properly. One has become a model backbone of the student union, and the other seems to be addicted to doing exercises for some reason. difficult to communicate.

"Ah, Slein." The gentle and sweet female voice interrupted Slein's chaotic thoughts. At some point, Esther came to his side, with his hands behind his back, smiling, "Come here as soon as school is over?"

"Uh, classmate Esther." Slein hurriedly stood up to say hello, but was covered by Esther and made fun of him.

"Don't do this, do you still want to kneel down and salute?" Esther flipped through the documents, and the smile in the green eyes dimmed a bit, "Did Slein fight with Inaifan again?" The future Her Majesty the Queen cut straight to the point, no nonsense.

"No..." He looked a little embarrassed.

"My student union is not your safe haven. If you hate the other party, you should speak up."

"I, I don't hate him!" Slein said in a hurry without thinking.

"If you don't hate it, you like it?" Esther smiled triumphantly.

Hiss... Slein was so embarrassed that smoke was coming out of his head, when did Esther become so cunning... What do you like... huh?The gears in Slein's mind suddenly froze, hi, like?

Because I like him, I want to kiss him; because I like him, I care about him; because I like him, when I first felt cheated, I was so angry and sad...

"If you don't hate it, you should tell the other party." Esther said, turning a small silver ring on her slender finger, her voice was soft but firm, "Because human beings are very stupid creatures. It would be very sad to do all sorts of tiny misunderstandings and do the wrong thing, even lead to a war."

"That..." Slein narrowed his eyes.

"It's like Kuran Kahn and I. Although we made a marriage contract since we were young, I didn't know at that time whether I really liked him? Or because of family and responsibility, I had to like him. I was hesitant. So it hurt him, and we had a really tough time."

"This ring...is a new gift from Kuran Kahn, right?"

"Oh, you found out." Esther stuck out her tongue mischievously.

You have been shaking this ring in front of my eyes, and my eyes are sore. By the way, are there real small diamonds on it? !Slein said angrily, "Are you here to show off to me?"

"If you feel unwilling, you can also find a way to show it off." Esther smiled very gracefully but also very mischievously, she stretched out her finger and flicked the tip of Slein's nose, "Don't you have it? You can ask The object of my showing off."

It's been so long since school, has Inaho already left?Slein couldn't remember how he ran out of the student union office in a panic, how would he speak when they met?How can we break the embarrassment that has been left in the cold for so long?But now is not the time to cringe, if not take the first step...

"Ah!" Fortunately, not many people stayed in the teaching building after school, otherwise they must have been frightened by Slein's sound. He saw Inafan across from the window in the corridor. It was lucky, it seemed that he was just about to Walking out of the classroom, a girl came out behind him, it was Yunzi, and the two of them walked close together.

Slein paused, and his joy and excitement were crumpled and thrown into Siberia, which was ravaged by the cold current.

He felt that he should either rush up to stop the other party, or turn around and leave, but he just couldn't move.

He watched Inaho and Yunzi stop at the corner of the stairs. The light of dusk dragged their shadows very long. He saw Inaho leaning over the girl, and their shadows overlapped.

The little bit of courage he had worked up with great difficulty disappeared in an instant.

Did they start dating today?

--No.
