The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

Tao Zhi huddled in the quilt, holding his hot and flushed face in his hands. The image of Xu Yanze touching his face in the library could not be shaken off his mind, and the touched cheeks became even hotter.

The touch of Xu Yanze's slender and slightly cool fingertips seemed to still remain on Tao Zhi's face.

Thinking of how he almost ran away from Xu Yanze in a panic, Tao Zhi curled up his toes in shame.

In the narrow space of the quilt, Tao Zhi once again thought of the scene of Xu Yanze murmuring his name in his sleep. Tao Zhi was so excited that he hugged the quilt and spun on the bed like a top, and couldn't help howling.

After a long time, Tao Zhi calmed down a little. He hugged the quilt and buried his face in the soft quilt, feeling his still out-of-control heartbeat and disordered breathing.

I'm done for, Tao Zhi thought to himself.

On Monday, Tao Zhi got out of the car dejectedly, and Lang Buping put his arm around his shoulders before he even touched the ground.

"Why did you become so depressed? You didn't answer my calls or reply to my messages the whole day yesterday."

"It's just that Xu Yanze caught you in the library. Don't be discouraged. Look at the dark circles under your eyes. You're almost like Bao Zheng." Lang Buping said.

Tao Zhi looked conflicted. He opened his mouth several times to say what he was holding back, but he just couldn't muster up the courage.

Lang Buping looked at Tao Zhi's shy look, smiled and patted Tao Zhi's shoulder, then spoke in a mean way.

"If you have any problems, you have to rely on me. Even though you failed, I have helped you. When I go on stage later, you can wait to see Xu Yanze's performance." Lang Buping said with a smile.

Tao Zhi's pupils constricted when he heard this and he grabbed Lang Buping's arm.

"What did you do?" Tao Zhi asked anxiously.

"Just give him a small punishment for offending my brothers. But don't worry, seeing how thin he looks, I specifically told you guys to be gentle and just hit him on the face, haha." Lang Buping said with a smile.

"Where is the person?" Tao Zhi asked.

Lang Buping pointed to a place not far away.

"It's in the alley ahead. He got out of the car and walked just a few steps when we guys put a sack on him. He should be beating him now," Lang Buping said, waving his hand.

In the blink of an eye, Tao Zhi had already flown out, heading straight in that direction, leaving Liu Lang in disarray.

"Hey, he feels unsatisfied and wants to kick himself a few times." Lang Buping thought to himself.

Tao Zhi ran over breathlessly and heard wailing from afar in the alley. Tao Zhi's heart tightened and he rushed in with clenched fists.

"Xu Yanze!"

Tao Zhi shouted in a depressed tone, and when he opened his eyes, he saw people lying in rows on the ground in the narrow alley, all of them shouting and screaming in panic.

In the crowd, Xu Yanze kicked down the last person standing in front of him with a cold face.

Although I am too thin and weak now, and it is a little difficult for me to fight, fortunately my skills from the previous world line are still there, so I can still deal with these young guys.

When Xu Yanze heard Tao Zhi's voice, he turned around, but his glasses had fallen somewhere, so he could only vaguely see the outline of the alley entrance.

Tao Zhi stepped over the person in front of him like a hurdle and ran straight towards Xu Yanze. Without waiting for Xu Yanze to react, he grabbed Xu Yanze's arm and touched him everywhere, then put his hand on Xu Yanze's shoulder to check if there were any injuries.

Xu Yanze grabbed Tao Zhi's wrist and stopped Tao Zhi's flustered and disorganized movements.

Xu Yanze looked at Tao Zhi, who was standing right in front of him with a worried look on his face, and his heart was filled with agitation.

"How are you? Where did they hit you? Are you hurt?" Tao Zhi asked anxiously.

At the same time, the guys who were rolling on the ground because of the pain still hadn't recovered yet, and they were crying out in pain one after another.

Everyone: Why don’t you take a look at the ground first?

Xu Yanze swallowed his saliva.

"I'm fine." Xu Yanze replied.

"How can you be okay? There are so many people beating you up, and you are as thin as a chopstick. You must have broken a few bones."

"I'll take you to the hospital."

As Tao Zhi spoke, he grabbed Xu Yanze's wrist and pulled Xu Yanze out of the alley.

When they reached the entrance of the alley, Xu Yanze stopped and Tao Zhi looked back in confusion.

"What are you standing there for?" Tao Zhi urged.

"Are you worried about me? Tao Zhi." Xu Yanze said softly.

Hearing his name coming out of Xu Yanze's mouth, Tao Zhi's heart trembled inexplicably.

"Huh? Why would I worry about you? I am kindhearted, caring about my classmates, and I stand up for justice when I see a classmate being bullied."

"I didn't come here on purpose to save you. Stop flattering yourself." Tao Zhi shook off Xu Yanze's hand and said unnaturally.

Tao Zhi shook off Xu Yanze's hand and was about to leave in anger.

Tao Zhi has always been a soft-hearted person and is most likely to be soft-hearted.

Xu Yanze suddenly had an idea in his mind.

So Xu Yanze let out a soft cry of pain, then frowned and covered his shoulders.

Seeing this, Tao Zhi hurriedly reached out to pull Xu Yanze's shoulders.

"Is your shoulder injured?" Tao Zhi asked anxiously.

Xu Yanze loosened his hands as Tao Zhi moved, allowing Tao Zhi to pull the clothes off his shoulders, revealing a bruise on his shoulder.

"I was just hit with a stick." Xu Yanze explained.

"There's such a big bruise. They must have been too rough. Does it hurt?" Tao Zhi asked subconsciously.

"It hurts." Xu Yanze replied seriously.

Tao Zhi raised his head and met Xu Yanze's loving gaze. Tao Zhi's breath was caught and he instinctively avoided Xu Yanze's gaze.

His eyes almost gave Tao Zhi an illusion, as if his heart and eyes were filled with himself.

"What a messed up look you have! Who would stare at someone while talking to them like you do?" Tao Zhi complained.

"Sorry, I'm severely nearsighted and can't see clearly." Xu Yanze explained.

Tao Zhi felt uncomfortable, but still pretended to be at ease. He turned around and ran back to the alley, bent over and searched for a while. Finally, he pushed aside a person on the ground and found Xu Yanze's glasses from under his back.

Tao Zhi wiped Xu Yanze's glasses with his clothes, then reached out and put the glasses on Xu Yanze.

Focusing his sight, Xu Yanze saw the gleam in Tao Zhi's eyes close at hand.

"Do you see it clearly now?" Tao Zhi asked with pretended impatience.

"Well, I see it clearly." Xu Yanze smiled gently.

The two walked towards the school one after the other. Tao Zhi hesitated for a long time and then turned back.

"Xu Yanze."

"Those people just now...those people were not me..."

"Forget it. I'm not going to explain anything to you. You can think whatever you want." After saying that, Tao Zhi quickened his pace and walked forward.

Xu Yanze quickened his pace and kept two steps away from Tao Zhi in front of him.

"I know it's not you." Xu Yanze said.

Tao Zhi paused when he heard this and stopped walking.

"Also, thank you, Tao Zhi."

"Thank you for coming to save me." Xu Yanze said.

Tao Zhi looked dazed, his emotions already surging like huge waves in his chest.

Tao Zhi felt the clear beating of his heart at this moment.

I'm really finished, Tao Zhi thought to himself.
