Chapter 2 Habits are a scary thing

After all, I still couldn't restrain myself.

The low-key and luxurious black Aston Martin LAGONDA ​​parked in the campus parking lot of Lianyu University, and Li Zeyan walked on the maple-leafed boulevard on foot.

There was a slight sound of leaf veins breaking at the tip of the toes, and the blue pupils seemed to be covered with misty fog. He didn't know where to look, and there seemed to be nothing to look forward to, as if the lens was out of focus, faintly ungraspable.

Li Zeyan felt something fell on his shoulder, and looked sideways to see a small fiery red maple leaf lying obediently on his black suit, the leaf was still covered with a thin layer of ash, and the skin was plated with some faint silver lead color.The original glaring bright red was weakened a bit, but it was still eye-catching.

For some reason, there was a sense of pity in his heart.

The slender fingers put it carefully into the suit pocket on the chest, as if it were some kind of precious and fragile item.

Before I knew it, I came here.

He stopped and looked up at the laboratory building in front of him, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Habits are a terrible thing.Some movements, before he had time to think, his limbs had already made choices for him.

That person shouldn't be here today...

He looked at the laboratory not far from the first floor, where the incandescent lights were still on. A kind of bitterness or nervousness filled his heart, like a container filled with foam, which would overflow if he was not careful. .He hoped that the person inside was that person and not that person.

"What the hell am I thinking..." Li Zeyan murmured in a daze.

He didn't know that he was a guest in the dream, and he couldn't even tell the reality apart.

A person came out from the inside, the bright light illuminated the person white, Li Zeyan's heart trembled, and he hid behind the flower bed outside the laboratory building for an instant.He habitually made an escape, a kind of... retreat hidden deep in his heart.

Why are you so cowardly...?He laughed at himself.

He felt so strange to himself.

Li Zeyan closed his eyes, and put his cold hands on his hot cheeks, trying to dissipate the heat that was steaming from self-anger.

"Sir... Who are you looking for?" Suddenly, a question full of inquiry and concern sounded in my ear.

He opened his eyes suddenly, looking at the fearful eyes of the young man in front of him.

Li Zeyan put down his hands, and the stern aura radiated from his body. The young man in the white robe flinched, and took a few steps back without a trace.

He regained his cold poker face, but looked a little uncomfortable when he asked.

"...Xu Mo... is he there?"

He turned his head away, the thick shadow covered most of his face, embellishing the embarrassment on his face.

The young man suddenly realized, with a youthful smile on his young face: "Oh, so you are looking for Professor Xu, and he seems to have an appointment with someone today. After all, it is Chinese New Year, and the work in the laboratory has basically been completed."

... He really has an appointment with someone, is it Youran?

Li Zeyan's eyes dimmed.

"……gentlemen?"

Li Zeyan raised his eyes, trying to be approachable, his chill subsided a little, and asked the young man, "Are you his student?"

The young man nodded and smiled very politely, but his tight fingers revealed his restraint and nervousness.After all, the man in a high-end suit in front of him has too much aura.

"It's Chinese New Year, why don't you go home?"

Hearing Li Zeyan's question, the young man scratched his head with a smile, and looked a little playful, "Hey, I'm still one short of the experimental homework assigned by the professor. After I finish it, I'll go back and reunite with my family!"

...Family?

A trace of bitterness flashed in Li Zeyan's eyes, he quickly regained his composure, and patted the young man's shoulder: "It's late, so I won't bother you."

Before leaving, he turned his head and told the young man, "Don't tell him I've been here."

The young man was stunned for a while, although he didn't know the reason, he nodded in agreement.He looked at the back of the man leaving, smiled and waved: "Happy New Year!"

Li Zeyan didn't turn around, he just raised his hands, his deep voice couldn't hear any emotion: "...Well, Happy New Year."

It's Chinese New Year, everyone should be happy, right?He looked up at the dark blue night sky, thinking like this.

The breeze blew the slightly long light-colored scarf around his neck, and the shiny black leather shoes disappeared into the thick darkness.
