After a few days of "rest" after the banquet, Duan Hengye finally went to teach at Amro again. Due to his "physical discomfort", he could only stay at Amro for one day before returning to Nanzhu to continue his rest. However, if one were to observe carefully, they would notice that the moment Professor Duan stepped onto the starship leaving Southern Zhu, the corners of his mouth actually curled up into a faint smile. F * ck! I can finally leave Meng Jinhuai's side for a while!
The news of Duan Hengye fainting on Planet Zhen Cui had already spread throughout the Galaxy. At his home base of fans, Amro University, everyone didn't hold back at all and expressed their concern for Professor Duan.
During class, Duan Hengye stood on the podium and looked around. He saw that all the students were staring at him with shining eyes. Their eyes were filled with admiration, admiration, and indescribable sadness, as if they were looking at a martyr … But this was also his fault for not looking in the mirror before class today.
The original owner's physical fitness really wasn't that good. He couldn't withstand any torment. On the way from the House of Marshal to Amro, the starship happened to pass by an asteroid belt. Duan Hengye, who was obsessed with the interstellar scenery, was so engrossed in it that he forgot to rest. By the time class started, his face was visibly tired and pale.
After all, Duan Hengye was known as the "Flower of the High Mountains". Even though everyone was very worried about his health, the students who didn't have any private contact with the professor were still a little afraid of him. Therefore, after some hesitation, everyone decided not to disturb Professor Duan and let him rest quietly by himself.
However, there was one exception.
Duan Hengye didn't rest on time, plus a few hours of high-intensity mental work, so he was physically and mentally exhausted. After returning to the lounge, he sat on the leather office chair in the room and yawned without any arrogance. The interstellar era was technologically advanced and people knew how to enjoy themselves. For example, this office chair was extremely ergonomic. Duan Hengye only wanted to rest for a while, but after a while, he felt a strong sense of drowsiness.
Duan Hengye was worried that someone would ask him questions, so he didn't close the door to the lounge. So when Lan Jingchi opened the door and came in, he saw this scene — —
The man in the off-white shirt sat quietly on the black leather seat. The color of the seat and the cold light in the lounge made his face look even paler. For some reason, Duan Hengye's head tilted back slightly, and there was still a tear on his left cheek that had not yet evaporated.
Duan Hengye … cried?
The scene in front of him really shocked Lan Jingchi.
Even though Duan Hengye's health wasn't good, and he had even made it onto the galactic news a few days ago because of his coma, in the hearts of most people, the man in front of them was definitely strong. Right now, Ye Tian was in a state of war, and Duan Hengye, who had personally created the new mecha, was undoubtedly an existence like the protector of the Empire in their hearts.
Especially in Lan Jingchi's eyes, Duan Hengye was not only the high and mighty head of the research institute, but also the savior who had pulled him out of the depths of his life that day.
But now, the savior in Lan Jingchi's heart, Duan Hengye, was actually crying?
As a pharmacy student who was known for his rationality, Lan Jingchi wasn't a person with much imagination under normal circumstances. But today, in just a few seconds after seeing Duan Hengye's current state, Lan Jingchi's mind had already filled in a bunch of nonsense.
Could it be that Duan Hengye's illness was very serious? No, Lan Jingchi quickly rejected this conjecture — — if Professor Duan was seriously ill, the Marshal probably wouldn't have allowed him to come to Amro to teach.
Wait a minute … Marshal? Standing there, Lan Jingchi slowly frowned.
Duan Hengye's social status in the Yetian Empire was very high. To Lan Jingchi, who didn't know the complicated relationship between Duan Hengye and the royal family, the only person who could make Duan Hengye cry silently in the lounge was … his spouse, Meng Jinhuai.
Duan Hangye, who had almost fallen asleep, did not know how many things Lan Jingchi had thought of when he saw this drop of physiological tears from his yawn. When he heard footsteps beside him and opened his eyes, he saw Lan Jingchi standing in front of him with a melancholy expression, and his two tightly clenched fists hanging by his side.
Seeing Lan Jingchi's appearance, Duan Hengye couldn't help but feel nervous. Could it be that someone in Amro was blind enough to provoke the future popular supporting male lead? Thinking of this, Duan Hengye habitually reached out his hand and gently pressed his temples, then stood up from his chair. "What's wrong?" He frowned and asked Lan Jingchi.
Lan Jingchi only saw the teardrop that was quietly hanging on Duan Hengye's cheek as he stood up, then completely disappeared into his black hair. The teardrop disappeared, leaving behind only a shallow tear stain. If one didn't look closely, one wouldn't be able to see it.
Lan Jingchi wasn't someone who liked to care about other people's private lives, but when he saw the tear stain, he only hesitated for a moment before decisively asking his previous guess. "Professor Duan … You … Have you encountered any problems in your life recently?"
Have you encountered any problems in your life recently?
Ever since he left his contact information with Amro last time, Lan Jingchi would send Duan Hengye messages from time to time. But from Duan Hengye's point of view, the messages that Lan Jingchi sent him were very similar to the life updates that poor students regularly sent to their sponsors on Earth. It was nothing more than talking about the state of his studies and the progress that he had made. Other than the time when he fainted and was on the galactic news, Lan Jingchi didn't seem to care about Duan Hengye's life.
So why was he suddenly concerned about this now? Although he was very puzzled, the other party was a future pharmaceutical genius after all, so Duan Hangye still shook his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
As a character who was both good and evil in "Toppling the Stars", Lan Jingchi also had the paranoid temperament of a villain. He seemed to have determined that Duan Hengye's "secret" tears in the lounge had something to do with Meng Jinhuai. After a few seconds of silence, Lan Jingchi gritted his teeth and took a deep breath before saying, "Professor Duan … I'm sorry, as an outsider, I really shouldn't care about your relationship issues. But please believe me, even though the Marshal is our Ye Tian's God of War, in my heart, you are far greater than the Marshal." His tone was particularly serious.
Under normal circumstances, Duan Hengye admitted that his EQ was barely above average. But today, for some reason, he actually understood the meaning behind Lan Jingchi's words … It seemed that Xiao Chi thought that there was something wrong with his relationship with Meng Jinhuai?
Even though he didn't know what caused Lan Jingchi to have this misconception, Duan Hengye was still very touched by his words of loyalty. In this era where everyone worshipped Meng Jinhuai, it was rare to find a fanboy who would put himself first!
At this time, the popular supporting male lead, Lan Jingchi, still had the appearance of a teenager. From his body, one couldn't see the future "evildoer" that was described in the novel. Perhaps it was because he had just finished class, but Lan Jingchi was still wearing the white lab coat issued by the school. He looked abnormally young and pure.
In his previous life, the Duan family had a total of four young masters. Probably because he was the youngest in the family, Duan Hengye had always wanted a cute little brother or sister since he was young. He couldn't help but admit that the current Lan Jingchi in front of him, who hadn't yet turned evil, was very much in line with the image of a good little brother in Duan Hengye's heart.
After imagining the scene of Lan Jingchi calling him "big brother" behind his back, Duan Hengye pretended to be serious as he walked to the other's side. Then, he pretended to casually touch the fluffy black hair on the other's head.
"Okay." Duan Hengye, while silently enjoying the feeling of being a big brother, said as if he was coaxing a child.
But Duan Hengye, who was in the middle of exclaiming that "it felt good" in his heart, didn't see that the moment he touched Lan Jingchi's head, the youth's ears suddenly turned red.
