This time, Arthur is going to Jinlin and planned to pack lightly.
He only brought his wallet, laptop, and admission notice, nothing more.
Arthur intends to buy the other things he needed in Jinlin which is more advantageous as it can also help him gain experience points.
He also didn't want to be tired and be troublesome in carrying big bags with him.
Thus, he didn't even bring a set of clothes.
He only wore his backpack and set off.
Compared to Shanghai, Jinlin is closer to Jiangzhen City and it only takes an hour on the road. As for the high-speed train, it's faster and doesn't even take half an hour.
There is no need to buy tickets in advance since there are more than dozens of servicing trains every day.
This is why David Farlier didn't send Arthur off.
Buying a ticket, getting through security and ticket check, and finally alighting the train wouldn't even last for half an hour.
"Are you going on an outing or reporting to school."
As soon as Arthur sat down, he heard a somewhat familiar lazy voice from behind.
Arthur stood up and looked around.
Turning back, he couldn't help but freeze for a while.
The man who just spoke had an outstanding appearance.
Different from the superior and aloof handsomeness of Feng Yang, this man had a healthy glowing bronze skin and a hint of wildness in his features.
But what took Arthur attention is not the handsomeness of this man. It is because he realized the guy who just spoke is an acquaintance of his.
Han Haoran!
It is the name of this person.
For those readers, who don't remember, this dude is the leader of his high school basketball team mentioned by Feng Yang in Chapter 4.
His relationship with Arthur could not be said to be cold, but just not too close. However, seeing this guy took the initiative to strike up the conversation, Arthur must say he was quite surprise.
"Are you going to report to school today?" Arthur raised his eyebrows.
Han Haoran responded jokingly: "Aren't you and Feng Yang dating each other? Didn't Prince Yang tell you that I am also going to a university in Jinlin?"
"Prince Yang?"
Hearing of this alias, Arthur couldn't help but think about the relationship between Haoran and Feng Yang. Han Haoran is also a guy who is always bickering with Feng Yang when their path crossed. He initially thought these two don't like each other.
But hearing this guy called Feng Yang like this, it doesn't seem to be the case...
"Why would he tell me…? Besides, how do you know we are dating?"
Hearing this, Haoran chuckled and said, "Of course, that cold guy told me!"
Well, this is quite unexpected!
"Wait, which university are you enrolled in?"
Arthur seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked.
"Jinlin university!"
"I knew it! So are you the so-called intelligence personnel of Feng Yang?!"
Arthur was well-aware of Feng Yang's possessiveness. His boyfriend was just like a mother hen conscientiously protecting her eggs.
One time, during their little chitchatting through the phone, Feng Yang once said he was thinking of countermeasures to prevent Arthur from attracting bees and butterflies.
Arthur thought that it was just the joke between them. But he didn't expect the things were a real deal.
'He is not that unreliable, okay?'... Arthur mentally complained in his heard. (T/N: Yes, we all trust you ~~)
Nevertheless, back to the topic of Han Haoran, Arthur must say this is a big surprise!
Jinlin University and the Jinlin University of Finance and Economics are very close to each other. Both are in the Xianlin University town. It only takes a ten-minute bicycle ride between two campuses.
"But isn't it that the two of you dislike each other?"
Arthur found it strange Han Haoran agreed to be Feng Yang's eyeliner when the two obviously act like they utterly disliked each other.
"That's called the rivalry in boy's friendship, okay?"
Han Haoran crossed his long legs and lightly scoffed.
After changing to a more comfortable posture, he smiled and said, "Would you like to consider bribing me? Offer me something and I'll keep it a secret from Feng Yang."
Saying so, Han Haoran looked at Arthur at the corner of his eyes, not knowing what plans he was actually brewing.
"Fuck off! I am not guilty of something. Why should I be worried about your jabbering?" After saying this, Arthur then sat down on the opposite row of Han Haoran.
However, not for long, Arthur felt a little itchy in his neck and so raised his head and found Han Haoran's magnified face.
The man was standing right in front of him, tilting his body over. His handsome face, with a ruffian smile at the corner of his mouth, nearly touched Arthur's forehead.
Han Haoran then said teasingly, "Really? You don't want to consider bribing me? Men who have money usually become bad, especially rich guys like you will definitely attract a lot of bees and butterflies in college. How I wish I could be like that as well!"
Arthur flicked his forehead in disgust, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Are you sure you are asking me to bribe you? Perhaps, be my boytoy and I'll treat you something…"
Arthur doesn't know if it is just himself thinking too much. But Han Haoran's behaviors from the start 'til now seemed too strange.
Han Haoran was different from Feng Yang. If Feng Yang was the kind of aloof Prince Charming who kept his body like jade, then Han Haoran was not shy from romantic relationships at all.
This guy has dated 4-5 girlfriends, all of whom are stunning and are top-tier dream girls at their school. However, it was unknown why their relationship with this dude never exceeded 4 months. Despite that, there are a lot of fellow female classmates still fawning over this guy.
Nevertheless, a shocking thing is his skill 〖Gay-dar Identification Aura〗 was triggered just now!
Arthur swears he has no ideas about this side of Han Haoran. There were no rumors of Haoran showing interests in boys at all!
But Arthur believed that the system would not make a mistake.
This guy must be a hidden gay, or at least bisexual!
It's definitely not because Arthur was being too narcissistic. He always felt that this man is intentionally or unintentionally attracting him.
Hearing Arthur offering him to be a boytoy, Han Haoran was not offended at all. Instead, he showed a proud expression and smiled, "That'll be better, Prince Yang will surely be mad!"
Hearing this man's casual answer in a so shameless way like that, a storm raged in Arthur's mind.
All what in his mind right now is numerous 'What the actual fuck!' exclamations rolling all over each other.
… This guy definitely had some ideas about him!
It's just he wondered because of his money or his charms… or maybe both?
At this time, the train has set off and Han Haoran saw that no one was seated beside him, so he said abashedly, "It's too troublesome to talk this way. I'll sit here!"
Saying so, Han Haoran didn't leave any time for Arthur to react but came directly to Arthur to sit beside him.
This guy then took a deep look at him, which made Arthur a little awkward.
Only after looking at Arthur for a few times, Han Haoran smiled and said, "First you asked for my Penguin account, and when you returned to school to get your admission letter, you kept on staring at me. I thought you would chase me, but I didn't expect you to end up with Prince Yang instead." (T/N: In China, Facebook and Instagram are banned. Therefore, netizens use Penguin or Weibo as the main social networking sites.)
'Damn! So that's the reason this guy was paying attention to him?'
Turning back in time, before his relationship with Feng Yang officially got the green lights, Arthur was simply a member of the Face-control club (almost a literal simp of handsome guys). It could not be blamed though as he was single for a whole 18 years.
What's more Han Haoran definitely had top-tier appearance.
The time Arthur returned school was also during Han Haoran's last basketball game as the leader of their high school team. Recalling during that time, Arthur could not help being interested in this guy in the past.
Han Haoran's image with neat short hair and few drops of sweat hanging on his handsome face was definitely a scene to be remembered. Through the comfortable basketball team jersey wet of sweats after the game, his perfect body after strenuous exercise was further highlighted, vaguely his two full chest muscles and eight-pack abs.
Even that time, Arthur must lament that if the word 'sexy' was ever used to describe a man, that man must be Han Haoran!
That's also the reason after that day, Arthur could not help but wanting to get this guy's contact.
However, since his official relationship with Feng Yang, this part of memory had totally slipped his mind.
Arthur thought no one would notice him but now the black history was exposed by the target himself.
This is f*cking embarrassing…
"How did you know that I kept staring at you that day?" Arthur could not help feeling his face heated up and asked curiously.
"How? Other girls are usually guilty and sneaky, as for you, you don't shy away from it. I think It will be hard not to pay attention."
"I don't know you are also interested in males now, Haoran?"
"There are many sides of me you don't know, Little Arthur!" Haoran scoffed lightly.
Hearing the "little Arthur", which only his parents used to address him, Arthur involuntarily got a few goosebumps.
Han Haoran hurriedly changed the tone of his voice and asked. "What about you? Do you really want to chase Prince Yang over me? I'm much handsomer than Prince Yang, right?"
This man is really good, a different style from Feng Yang…
If it were before, Arthur would once again be ashamed due to his suggestive words.
But now, his impulse to bury his head in the ground to escape from embarrassment was so much today that it made him feel numb.
Because of that, he felt that his face had gradually got exercised to the thickness of the city wall in just 15 minutes.
Now that this guy intentionally played him like this. Being polite is not the way of Arthur's.
Arthur said abashedly: "You are late. You can only be my little boytoy."
"Don't even think about it!" Han Haoran looked uninterested.
Finally getting a chance to make this guy deflated, Arthur would not let go, "Have you heard of this joke?"
"What joke?"
"Once there was a boy who tried everything to pursue his male comrade's boyfriend. He successfully ruined their relationship and finally…"
"Finally, the boy and his friend's boyfriend ended up together? Is that a lame joke from the '90s of the gay community?"
Han Haoran raised his eyebrows.
"No! In the end, the three of them lived happily ever after!"

@Feng Yang: Keep your eyes on Arthur for me, Haoran!!!
@Han Haoran: Yes, sir! But I will keep more than my eyes…
The future @Feng Yang: I have invited the wolf into the house!
