Chapter 4: Happy Enemies Together Four
I helped Yan Yimu walk out of the campus, struggling over whether or not to send him home.
"Yu Yingwu, I want to live in your house." Yan Yimu suddenly said.
I was shocked, and immediately let go of his arm, jumped a few steps away, and glared at him: "You...what do you want to do?"
Yan Yimu rolled his eyes and pouted, "Don't worry, I have no intentions towards you. The home in the comics isn't my real home anyway, and I don't want to be with those virtual characters every day. We live together so it's easier to investigate and communicate. Do you have something to hide and don't dare to let me go?"
"I'm not kidding, but we two live alone together, what if it gets out..." I bit my lip, feeling extremely reluctant.
Yan Yimu looked at me firmly and said, "I must live in your house. It's up to you." After saying that, he stood there, hugged his chest and stared at me.
I touched my forehead, feeling very angry, but finally nodded tragically: "Okay."
After all, I don’t have any friends in the comic world, and I can’t contact Yuan Yichen for the time being. My classmates are isolating me, and Yan Yimu is the most advantageous ally no matter how you look at it.
I first accompanied Yan Yimu back to his house to pack up his things, and then returned to my house to tidy up the room. Fortunately, I drew two bedrooms, so I could make room for Yan Yimu.
Like a servant, I tidied the room in a way that Yan Yimu could accept. Yan Yimu sat on the bed like a boss, crossed his legs and looked at me: "I need to rest for a while, you go cook." After saying that, he lay down on the bed.
"Hey, you live here with me and you still want to order me around!" I roared with my hands on my hips.
"What else? Do you want me, a wounded man, to cook for you? Aren't you afraid that I will poison you?" Yan Yimu lay on the bed and closed his eyes. "I hope I will have something to eat when I wake up."
In the bedroom, the warm yellow light shone on Yan Yimu, softening his usual coldness and arrogance. The small bed was just the right length for his height. The blue- gray sheets looked like a gray sea, and he seemed like a prince drifting on the sea. His handsome features were slightly wrinkled, and my heart suddenly softened, and I gently turned off the light for him.
When I walked into the kitchen, I suddenly realized how I could be so useless that I softened my heart when I saw his face! I knocked my head and warned myself: "Yu Yingwu, Yu Yingwu, you must always be vigilant. You can't be gentle to Yan Yimu easily. You only have the same goal temporarily and are just strategic partners!" I warned myself while cooking.
It was hard to imagine that I, such a conservative and self-disciplined person, actually started a "living together" life with Yan Yimu in the comic world. In order not to arouse suspicion, I went to the school gate early every day to wait for it to open, while Yan Yimu arrived at the classroom a few minutes before class. After school, I had to walk a long way and was exhausted before I could go home, while Yan Yimu was already lying on the sofa eating watermelon.
It was hard for me to write two self-criticisms. I racked my brains and wrote two self-criticisms and handed them in. Then there was no further news. I think the dean has almost forgotten about this matter. After all, there are so many students and so many things. Yan Yimu and I try to stay on the edge of the class, so being isolated doesn't matter. Anyway, since Yan Yimu came, there has been no situation where other people secretly bully me. Yan Yimu is really smart and often makes Xinxin and the others suffer for their own mistakes.
I actually sympathize with Xinxin. Originally, I arranged this role to teach Yan Yimu a lesson, but I didn't expect that now I would be taught a lesson by Yan Yimu. It really is true that man proposes, God disposes!
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu!" Just as I was circling to take a detour, a long-lost voice called me.
I turned around in surprise and joy, and saw Yuan Yichen in white. His clear figure stood out in the crowd, and the smile on his face was still so gentle.
"Yuan Yichen, you... why are you here..." I asked stutteringly. Countless questions suddenly surged in my mind, and those messy fragments were spinning in my mind.
"I don't know what happened, I was dragged here. Alas, I have been looking for a way to leave, but I can't find it. How are you?" Yuan Yichen smiled helplessly.
"When did you come in and why didn't you go to school?" I asked, staring into Yuan Yichen's eyes.
"It's been a while since I came here. I think it's about the same time as you. I was thinking about why we came here and how to find the exit of this comic book world. Going to school doesn't make sense to me. These are all fake, aren't they?" Yuan Yichen frowned and said in a nonchalant tone, " The most important thing is how do we leave."
"You...you found a way?" I asked in disbelief.
"Not yet, but we will find it eventually. Xiaowu, let's have a meal together ." Yuan Yichen said with a smile.
"I have something else to do. Let's talk another day." My heart was beating fast. I didn't know if this guess was correct. I hurriedly said goodbye to Yuan Yichen and ran home.
“Yan Yimu, guess who I met!” I started shouting as soon as I opened the door. Then I smelled the aroma of food in the room and my stomach started to growl.
Yan Yimu poked her head out of the kitchen wearing a short apron and gave me a blank look: "Who did you meet? Why are you so excited? Wash your hands first and eat!"
"Puchi!" I couldn't help but burst out laughing, "You can actually cook."
"My cooking is much better than yours, okay!" When Yan Yimu came out of the kitchen again, he had taken off his apron. He placed three dishes and a soup neatly on the table and said to me with contempt, "You are a girl, and you can only make noodles. If you eat it again, I will vomit. I don't know how you have lived to this age alone."
"I can buy food, and noodles are so healthy." I sat down unconvinced, picked up my chopsticks and started eating. Yan Yimu's cooking skills are really good. The more I eat, the more I want to eat. Before I know it, most of the three dishes are empty.
Yan Yimu stared at me in astonishment: "Are you the reincarnation of a starving ghost?"
"I haven't eaten such delicious food in a long time." I touched my stomach and felt very full. "Yuan Yichen is here too. He also entered the comic world. He didn't go to school and was looking for a way to leave." I said to Yan Yimu.
"Yuan Yichen, I have always suspected that it was him. This man is not a good person." Yan Yimu's face was full of anger when he mentioned Yuan Yichen. It seems that the two of them have a deep grudge against each other.
"Has he ever offended you?" I held my chin and looked at Yan Yimu, with the flames of gossip burning in my heart.
"I'm afraid I offended him. This man is stingy and holds a grudge. Stay away from him. I always feel that Meng Hun was stolen by either you or him." Yan Yimu's expression was full of disdain.
I thought about it and felt that every time I saw Yuan Yichen, I felt something was wrong, but I was not sure that Yuan Yichen was such a person. After all, he seemed to be very nice to me.
"Yu Yingwu, you are so stupid, be careful not to be deceived, stay away from this person, and leave it to me when necessary." Yan Yimu knocked on the table and looked at me with distrust, "Don't contact him alone in the future."
"Hey, you are too arbitrary. There are still many issues that have not been clarified. It is always better to have one more friend than one more enemy." Although I don't quite trust Yuan Yichen, I still don't like to say bad things about him behind his back.
Yan Yimu seemed very angry: "Do you understand him or do I understand him, idiot."
"Hmph, I'm so stupid, you should find a way to leave!" I got angry instantly, slammed the table, stood up and went back to my room, locked myself in the bedroom and sulked.
Yan Yimu was washing things outside, making a lot of noise, but I ignored him. It was all fake anyway, I told myself.
