“I’ve seen your medical examination report before.”
"Date of birth, ID number".
"I know all of that."
"What's your current address and phone number?"
Ji Li didn't look up: "I filled in mine."
"Uh..." Ying Yunsheng's face felt a little hot.
On one hand, I was happy, but on the other hand, it felt like I had returned to the days when Ji Li was Ji Li’s guardian in Tingfeng Lane. There was a strange sense of taboo and excitement.
After the pupils were dilated, another examination was needed. During the time before the medication wore off, Ji Li took him to a nearby shopping mall. After having lunch and killing time, they returned to the hospital.
After the check-up, the two went to the glasses cabinet.
The young lady in front of the glasses counter was very professional. She didn't stare at the customer or give her any unnecessary glances throughout the entire process. She opened a cabinet and said, "Men's glasses are over here. You can choose a style you like and change the lenses later."
Ji Li turned to ask, "Which one do you like?"
Ying Yunsheng: "Is it really necessary?"
Ji Li: "You just promised me that."
Ying Yunsheng hesitated for a long time before saying, "Wearing glasses doesn't look good."
The two were actually speaking in hushed tones, but the optician, having been taught by her seniors to proactively observe customers' needs, subconsciously strained her ears to listen.
Ji Li chuckled: "Why does a guy like you need to be so good-looking?"
Ying Yunsheng: "You said last time that I was different from your other suitors because I was better looking than them."
The girl at the glasses counter: Holy crap!
Ji Li: "You've been agonizing over this for so long?"
Ying Yunsheng: "Hmm."
The girl at the glasses counter: Holy crap!
Ji Li: "Aren't you afraid that if you don't wear glasses, your eyesight will worsen faster and you'll eventually go blind?"
Ying Yunsheng: "I'm even more afraid that you won't like me anymore."
The girl at the glasses counter: Holy crap!
There were too many outsiders around, and Ji Li, being well-mannered, couldn't say anything too mushy in public, so he could only resort to his old method: "Be obedient."
Ying Yunsheng persisted for a few seconds, then gave in: "Oh."
In just a few seconds, the young woman imagined a whole drama unfold, from cars and trains to airplanes and cruise ships.
Finally, she chose a pair of silver square frames. The young lady took the frames and the examination form to the polishing room, and an hour later she brought back glasses with the correct lenses installed, along with a glasses case and tool bag.
Ji Li made him put it on and took him to the supermarket.
It was already evening when I got back to my neighborhood.
Just as Ji Li found the key, the door opposite suddenly opened, and a person flew out like a cannonball.
"Ji Li—"
Before Ji Li could react, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and pulled him back sharply.
Lin Chengshuang slammed her head against the door with a loud "bang," without even touching the hem of anyone's clothes. Ignoring the pain, she cried out, "What happened? I was playing a game when the class group chat suddenly exploded! Everyone's saying you and Ying Yunsheng are actually together? Where did this rumor come from? Even I, who sits across from you, didn't notice..."
Before he could finish speaking, he finally realized there was a third person present, so he quickly stopped talking and tried to salvage his fragile composure: "Sorry, sorry, I just wanted to ask him something."
Ji Li: "Would you like to take another closer look?"
Lin Chengshuang looked closely: "Why does this person look so familiar... Holy crap, Ying Yunsheng?!"
Ying Yunsheng was in the corridor, one hand carrying a full shopping bag of groceries he had just bought from the supermarket, the other hand still holding Ji Li's hand because he had just pulled him up.
How to describe this feeling? It's like going back to when I first heard that these two were childhood friends, and then I saw them sitting together eating in the cafeteria.
Lin Chengshuang looked at this person and then that person, unconsciously taking a step back: "You guys, you won't kill me to cover your tracks, will you?"
A note from the author:
Thank you so much for your support! I will continue to work hard!

The hot pot on the dining table was bubbling away.
Ji Li took out the bowl and chopsticks and placed a set in front of Lin Chengshuang: "Have you had dinner?"
"No." Lin Chengshuang accepted it with a blank expression. "Thank you."
When Ji Li took Ying Yunsheng to the ophthalmology hospital, he received a message from Cui Zhuoyue asking if he could reveal his relationship with Ying Yunsheng.
He himself didn't care about it, but Ying Yunsheng thought so, so he directly replied that it was okay. He didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, and even Lin Chengshuang knew about it in just one afternoon.
Ji Li returned to the kitchen, just as Ying Yunsheng came out carrying lettuce. He hesitated and looked at the dining table, saying, "Your friend seems to have a hard time accepting this."
"He just hasn't realized it yet."
"But hasn't half an hour passed since we finished explaining?"
Ji Li said, "His reaction time is too long."
"Just a heads up," Lin Chengshuang raised her voice, "the dining table and the kitchen are less than three meters apart, I can hear you."
Ji Li poked Ying Yunsheng's face: "Are you relieved now?"
Ying Yunsheng took the plate out and placed the food on the dining table.
Lin Chengshuang quickly grabbed him: "Hey, wait a minute, I have something to ask you."
Ying Yunsheng stood there for a moment, then sat down.
After all, the other party was a friend of Ji Li, and he cared about the other party's opinion.
This wasn't the first time Lin Chengshuang had met Ying Yunsheng, but it was the first time she had looked at him so carefully.
Because the heat from the dinner table would fog up his glasses, Ying Yunsheng had already taken them off. His face was actually the kind that was extremely striking, but unfortunately, he looked unapproachable, and his first impression was always one of coldness and gloom, which was very different from his gentle and harmless appearance when he wore glasses.
Lin Chengshuang hadn't met him many times, otherwise she wouldn't have failed to recognize him just now.
There was a long silence between the two, with the occasional sound of a cleaver clattering against the cutting board coming from the kitchen.
Lin Chengshuang unconsciously shrank her neck: "Can I ask you a question?" After thinking for a moment, she added, "It might be a rather personal one."
Ying Yunsheng sat up straight: "Go ahead and ask."
Lin Chengshuang: "Between you and him, who's on top and who's on the bottom?"
“Uh…” Lin Chengshuang quickly added, “If you don’t want to talk about it, just pretend I didn’t ask.”
He knew he shouldn't interfere in other couples' private conversations, but he was just too curious.
Ever since Lin Chengshuang met Ji Li, she had only ever seen him crush others in every way and in every aspect. He seemed easy to talk to in daily life, but when it came to principles and bottom lines, he was always the one who controlled and changed others. It was as if a gene called dominance was engraved in his blood. Even in that kind of situation, Lin Chengshuang found it hard to imagine that the other party would hand her over to someone else and put her in a passive state.
On the other hand, Lin Chengshuang had also witnessed that the other party had never attended physical education classes over the years. Even if she did not know the specific reason, she could guess that the other party's physique was weaker than that of a normal person.
This situation...
Ying Yunsheng was silent for a moment: "What do you mean by 'who goes up and who goes down'?"
Lin Chengshuang stopped her random thoughts from flowing: "Huh?"
What does "up and down" mean?
"Uh..." Lin Chengshuang was shocked: "Have you two never discussed this issue? Isn't this one of the most important factors for people like you when you're in a relationship? There are countless couples online who have broken up because they couldn't reach a consensus on this. Are you planning to stick to a platonic relationship forever?"
Ying Yunsheng frowned: "And what is Plato?"
Lin Chengshuang hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
Just then, Ji Li came out carrying the sliced meat and slowly lifted the hot pot lid: "All the ingredients are ready."
Having received no answer, Ying Yunsheng could only turn to Ji Li and ask, "What is Plato?"
Ji Li: "..."
He wondered if he had misheard: "What did you say?"
Ying Yunsheng repeated: "Plato seems to be a model of love."
Ji Li used a slotted spoon to scoop the meatballs floating in the soup out: "Where did you hear that word?"
"That's what Lin Chengshuang said."
What else did he say?
"They're asking us who's going up and who's going down."
Ji Li glanced at the culprit across the table, then lowered his head: "Don't listen to everything others say in the future."
Lin Chengshuang, who was suddenly demoted to "someone else": "..."
Ying Yunsheng said "Oh," and then asked, "So, who's on top of whom...?"
Ji Li used her chopsticks to poke a fish ball and stuffed it into his mouth: "We'll discuss this later."
Ying Yunsheng took a bite of the meatball, then continued to frown and ask, "But he said many people break up because they can't reach a consensus on this issue, what if we also..."
Ji Li stuffed another shrimp paste into his mouth: "Under what circumstances would you tell me you want to break up?"
Ying Yunsheng thought for a moment, swallowed what was in his mouth, and then spoke: "I won't break up with you."
If they break up in the future, it will definitely be because Ji Li took the initiative to break up, and he was willing to compromise.
At least he couldn't imagine himself initiating a breakup with Ji Li.
“I don’t know either,” Ji Li said. “So, are other obstacles important?”
Ying Yunsheng couldn't figure out what was wrong with his words: "It's not important."
