He Xi's pupils trembled, and he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry."

He hurriedly helped Lin Chao wipe away his tears.

Lin Chao immediately lowered his head and pulled his hand back, "Senior He Xi, is there anything else?"

He Xi took a step forward, and Lin Chao immediately took two steps back.

He now seemed to be covered with thorns and would not let anyone approach him, not even He Xi.

He Xi had no choice but to stand where he was.

The two stood in silence for a while, and finally He Xi spoke first, "Lin Chao, I..."

He Xi didn't know what to say.

He did intend to cut off contact with Lin Chao, because he found that if he didn't completely cut off contact with Lin Chao, he would not be able to control himself.

He knew that Lin Chao was rejecting his feelings, so he tried hard to restrain himself from calling Lin Chao every day.

But such restraint may be good for Lin Chao.

But for him, it was painful.

The longing becomes stronger because of the passage of time.

He Xi would feel uncomfortable every time he called Lin Chao.

He likes Lin Chao. He likes him so much that he wishes he could see Lin Chao every day when he wakes up.

He hid his little thoughts and called Lin Chao every day, occasionally telling Lin Chao his feelings directly.

He even once told Lin Chao directly, "I like you."

As a result, Lin Chao responded very calmly and said to him, "I like you too, you are my best friend."

He couldn't hold it in any longer and hung up the phone.

Lin Chao didn't react much afterwards and was in a confused state the whole time.

He had no choice but to calm down and continue chatting with Lin Chao.

It was not until later when Lin Chao asked to reduce the frequency that He Xi felt that he might really not be able to make Lin Chao fall in love with him.

Lin Chao doesn't like men, and he can't force Lin Chao to change his sexual orientation.

So he completely restrained himself and acted like a close friend in front of Lin Chao.

But he found that he couldn't just accept being friends.

The consequence of suppressing emotions is emotional backlash.

He Xi even had some dark thoughts.

He was really afraid that he would lose control and end up hurting Lin Chao, so he finally decided to gradually cut off contact with Lin Chao.

Maybe if we no longer see each other or keep in touch, the feelings will gradually fade away with time.

He likes Lin Chao very much.

He likes Lin Chao no matter what he looks like.

Introverted Lin Chao, nervous Lin Chao, shy Lin Chao, happy Lin Chao, angry Lin Chao...

In a year, everything about Lin Chao was engraved in his mind.

He is happy when he is happy, sad when he is sad, disgusted when he is disgusted, and loves what he loves.

It’s a pity that this feeling will never be reciprocated.

He Xi didn't expect to meet Lin Chao today.

The school is so big, there are so many students in class, people are coming and going, and the walking routes are complicated. Although there is a probability of meeting each other, it is not that high.

It was because of meeting Lin Chao that He Xi realized that he had not asked about Lin Chao's class schedule this semester.

He didn't even know when Lin Chao's class was.

Perhaps there is a divine will in the universe, and God wants two people who have drifted apart to meet again.

When He Xi saw Lin Chao's expression, he knew what he had guessed.

He didn't explain, nor did he want to explain.

He felt that it was okay for Lin Chao to misunderstand him and hate him.

But......

Lin Chao was about to cry.

He Xi wanted to leave, but his heart and feet were in opposite directions.

My heart is pulling back, and my feet are moving forward with difficulty.

Eventually, his heart-tug succeeded.

He couldn't help but chase after her.

He saw Lin Chao crying, and all the thorns on his body stood up, not letting him get close.

Lin Chao wiped away his tears and said calmly, "Senior He Xi, I understand what you mean. I won't bother you again."

"I really appreciate your help and the wonderful time you spent with me."

"I'm sorry I made you unhappy... All I can say is sorry."

"If you need me in the future, just tell me and I will definitely help you." After saying this, Lin Chao wanted to move forward.

He Xi grabbed him and pulled him into his arms.

Lin Chao pushed him but didn't move him. "Senior He Xi, you..."

"Lin Chao, I'm sorry." He Xi's voice was a little hoarse.

He hugged Lin Chao tightly, not wanting to let go.

He wanted to try again.

If Lin Chao still doesn't understand, then he...

His eyes darkened.

I can only find a way to keep Lin Chao by my side.

Anyway, I don't want to let go anymore.

"I do this for a reason." He Xi was speaking when the class bell suddenly rang.

When Lin Chao heard this, he immediately struggled in his arms, "Senior He Xi, I'm going to be late for class."

He Xi was silent for a while, then sighed slightly: "It seems that this kind of occasion is not suitable for talking about important things."

He let go of Lin Chao and asked seriously: "Lin Chao, can you give me a chance to explain? Can we have a good chat?"

Lin Chao was as quiet as a chicken.

He Xi was a little nervous. "Lin Chao, I really have a reason. I, I am happy..."

"Okay." Lin Chao looked directly into He Xi's eyes, "Senior He Xi, I'm willing to listen to your explanation."

"But not now. I have to go to class."

The worry between He Xi's brows disappeared, "I understand, I'll treat you to a meal when I'm free, and we can talk then!"

Although he intended to cut off contact with Lin Chao, he had indeed been working on solving the security issues of holographic technology during this period.

All external problems of holographic technology have been solved, and He Xi and his team are now solving various bugs within the holographic world.

He was busy almost from morning to night. When he woke up, he entered the holographic world. After staying in it for a day, he went to bed and rest immediately after coming out.

He schedules his time so full that he doesn't give himself any chance to think about other things.

So when he came to his senses and looked at his phone, he found that the time intervals were getting longer and longer.

I thought I could gradually fade away my feelings for Lin Chao, but once we met, everything was in vain.

Who said that feelings will fade with the passage of time?

His love for Lin Chao hasn't diminished at all!

"Yeah." Lin Chao nodded and walked around He Xi towards the teaching building.

"Lin Chao!" He Xi shouted.

Lin Chao turned around.

He Xi said seriously: "I didn't lie to you about the research on holographic technology."

"We are indeed at a critical stage of research recently. As long as we get through this stage, you will be able to use holographic technology next year!"

"Really?" Lin Chao asked.

He Xi nodded, "Really."

"Isn't this your excuse for not wanting to contact me?"

He Xi shook his head, "I am really solving technical problems."

The intense pain in Lin Chao's heart gradually dissipated.

He smiled and said, "Okay, I get it."

"Senior He Xi, see you next time."

"OK, bye."

He Xi watched Lin Chao go away.

The next moment, his cell phone rang.

He Xi answered the call, and the team member's urging voice came immediately, "Team leader, you are overtime."

He Xi took leave in the middle of his studies to return to school to process graduation materials. He only had three hours left, but because he met Lin Chao, he was delayed for a while.

"Is the repair program ready?" He Xi hurried back immediately.

He returned to school to finish all his graduation issues at once, because he wanted to devote himself to research next.

"We're ready, team leader. Is your method really feasible?" The team members were a little worried.

"It's too troublesome to go inside and check it step by step and then come out to find a way to repair it." He Xi replied.

"Wouldn't it be better if we could check and repair it in the holographic world?"

The technology is still in its infancy, and when the inside of the holographic world becomes unstable, it is actually safer to perform repair operations outside.

But that was too troublesome and too slow, so He Xi wanted to try a faster method.

"Team leader..." The team members still wanted to persuade He Xi.

He Xi chuckled: "Anyway, my parents and you will be outside monitoring my condition at all times. If there is any abnormality, you will help me solve it immediately."

"It'll be okay, don't worry."

The team members were unable to persuade him and continued to urge He Xi to go to work, "Okay, team leader, please come back soon and check if there is any problem with the repair program we made."

He Xi looked at the teaching building in the distance and replied with a smile: "Okay, wait for me."
