Chapter 33(1/2)
The story of Xu Qichen has also spread to Peiya. Compared with Jingjian at the center of the storm, Peiya's students are not much calmer. Gossip has no audience. The rumors are very exaggerated, and various strange versions have appeared, each one more curious than the other, bloody.
.
Rumors are brazenly tampering with Xu Qichen's character and conduct. As communicators, they have never met him in person, but they seem to be the ones who know him best. "I heard", "it is said", "one look at this appearance", "all rumors
"Everywhere"... In these illogical and empty words, the person involved has changed beyond recognition.
Song Yu returned to school the day after the training camp ended. In the cafeteria, the boys eating at the same table talked about this topic.
"That Jing Jian, you have heard, right? A boy is having an affair with a male teacher." The other party relied on his consistent sexual orientation with most people, and his words showed a sense of superiority, "It's disgusting, a man actually likes a man, luckily
It's not in our school, otherwise I wouldn't dare come to school." The remaining people laughed when they heard this.
Qin Yan picked up the dish with chopsticks and threw it back on the plate. He said casually: "Come on. There are still girls who like boys all over the street. They don't just like a boy when they see them, right? It would be better if they like boys of the same sex.
Same."
The other party was stung by his words and couldn't help but say, "What's the matter? You don't want to be told that you like men? Could it be that you also like men?"
Qin Yan put down his chopsticks and said, "To be honest, I like tall, straight and beautiful girls, but if I suddenly become curvy one day, I can't look down on people from the Qing Dynasty."
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yu, who had always been depressed, stood up with a plate that he had only eaten a few mouthfuls of, and walked away with a stern look on his face. When Qin Yan saw this, he also followed him with the plate.
On the fourth day after returning from the training camp, he finally received a WeChat reply from Xia Zhixu.
[Xia Zhixu: I’m fine.]
Song Yu didn't think so. People around him were very noisy, and his deskmate took advantage of the break to catch up on his sleep, so he edited a sentence.
[Song Yu: If you want to play ball with me, you can come to me on weekends.]
It was usually difficult for him to care about others, but when it came to Xia Zhixu, Song Yu couldn't completely stand aside. Maybe it was because he happened to be a witness, or maybe he really regarded Xia Zhixu as a mirror of him.
The mirror was broken, and his reflection in it was also broken.
The sky was gray, and it was raining. It was a drizzle that was not common in this city, and it was falling like needles. Song Yu looked out the window and was distracted. When he came back from training that day, the scene at the gate of Pei Ya School appeared again.
It was difficult for him to describe the feeling of being embraced by Joy after witnessing a bloody failure.
It must be described, probably drinking poison to quench thirst.
That day, Le Zhi didn't ask anything. He just comforted her and said, "Let's go home. Can we watch the documentary together?"
It seems that he is just a child, but Le Zhishi is actually a very mature adult.
They walked home from school along the street for the first time. It was a long way. Along the way, Le Zhishi stayed close to him and talked about many happy things at school. He also said that Aunt Rong's friend's Bian Mu had given birth to a baby.
He went to see it and it was very cute.
In trying to convey warmth to Song Yu, Le Zhishi will never get tired.
But Song Yu didn't give much response.
When he saw the post for the first time, Song Yu had the thought of retreating. He thought, forget it, this is too dangerous, even God is trying to give him a warning. But when he actually faced Le Zhi,
, and he was unable to make such a resolute and decisive retreat.
He is indeed not mature at all.
In the end, Song Yu didn't give the handmade picture album to Le Zhi. He kept it in his schoolbag. Sometimes he would see it when he took the teaching aid, but he pretended not to see it. Later, he stuffed it into a drawer.
Under many books.
After class, he lay on the table and closed his eyes to rest. His phone vibrated.
[Xia Zhixu: I can’t delay your review, just take it after the exam.]
Before I could reply, a new one appeared in the dialog box.
[Xia Zhixu: I finally met him just now, but he didn’t seem to want to see me. He said he was not gay and didn’t want to be friends with me anymore.]
[Xia Zhixu: You said you wanted me to give it a try, but it seems like there’s no chance.]
The night of the power outage, the lame pigeon metaphor, and Xia Zhixu's conservative imagination, all seemed to have been foreshadowed. Song Yu thought that before this happened, if Xia Zhixu flinched again, he could push him away
He shouldered his shoulder and told him, "I don't think so."
But now, he can't say that sentence anymore.
An example that was more likely to succeed ended bloody in front of Song Yu. He thought he was mature enough and could even give another person similar to himself a shot in the arm, hoping to catalyze the desired results. To say that he was great enough
Do you want to fulfill other people's love? No.
Song Yu knew that he was just looking for a successful case close at hand to encourage him.
After all, I am still too young.
You can never guess what will happen tomorrow.
When I was happy, I occasionally thought of Song Yu's appearance on the day he returned from training.
His fatigue didn't seem to last long. After returning home, Song Yu didn't want to watch the documentary with him. Instead, he locked himself in the room. When he came out, he returned to the calm Song Yu before.
Although his words and deeds were not much different from before he went to the training camp, Ke Lazhi always had a vague feeling that Song Yu had changed a bit. He spoke less than before and refused to express himself even more.
When he went to school after the monthly break, Le Zhishi also heard rumors about Xu Qichen. Le Zhishi directly expressed his objections to everyone who tried to make malicious comments about Xu Qichen in front of him.
He firmly believed in his heart that Xu Qichen was not the kind of person they said he was, but these things eventually left a dark shadow in Le Zhishi's heart.
It turns out that there are boys who like boys.
Since childhood, they have been taught that opposites attract, and other possibilities rarely arise. From the beginning, the same presupposition has been established for them, and the germination and awakening of consciousness can only start with doubt.
Le Zhishi couldn't help but think back to the rainy day when they first met, and thought of the subtle connection between Xu Qichen and Xia Zhixu. He felt as if he had discovered something, but felt that it was not clear enough.
He was already about to fall asleep, so he turned over and turned on his phone, looking for answers in the search engine.
In the morning, Le Zhi almost fell asleep when he heard Lin Rong knocking on the door. He woke up. The mobile phone at hand was out of battery and turned off. He quickly washed up and saw Song Yu standing in the living room taking off his school uniform shirt, with a lean back.
Muscles cover bones and pull them along with movement.
When I was happy, I suddenly felt a strange feeling and stopped in place.
Lin Rong took another school uniform shirt, "This one should be completely dry. I just took it by mistake. No wonder it's a little wet. Here." She handed the shirt to Song Yu, and when she looked up and saw Le Zhi, who was stunned on the spot,
He urged: "Lele, why are you still stunned? Hurry up and eat something to go to class. I can drive you to school today."
Song Yu put a new shirt on his body, turned around, and had a brief look at Le Zhishi.
The tips of my fingers felt like electricity. I lowered my eyes when I was happy and took the time to go downstairs to tidy up.
Lin Rong drove an A-class car with a small space. Le Zhishi got into the car with Song Yu and sat close to the window and door. There was a lot of distance between them.
Taking a look in the rearview mirror, Lin Rong joked, "Lele, you have grown up."
Le Zhi was a little confused, "Huh?"
"You used to wish you could stick to your brother." She smiled beautifully, and the pearl earrings on her earlobes were shaking, "like a small pendant."
Hearing these words, Song Yu and Le Zhishi both turned their heads and glanced at the distance between them. Two seconds later, Song Yu turned his head to look at the scenery, and Le Zhishi stared at the schoolbag on his knees.
"It's a little hot next to me." Le Zhishi explained unconfidently.
·
Two weeks before the college entrance examination, Le Zhishi had been sick, with gastrointestinal discomfort and a fever.
He was afraid that his family would be worried, so he quietly went to a nearby clinic. The old doctor sitting inside only glanced at him and said that many students had come to see him recently, similar to him, and they were all suffering from stress caused by excessive stress before the exam.
reaction.
"Don't be nervous. The more nervous you are, the more uncomfortable you will be." The doctor did a general examination. After sitting down, he took out a medical record from the drawer and glanced at the calendar. "Oh, today is the 2nd, so there really isn't much time left for the college entrance examination."
Damn it."
He wrote quickly without raising his head, "What's your name and how old are you?"
Le Zhi reported his name, "Fifteen." He sat on the chair opposite and confessed honestly, "It's not my college entrance examination."
"Fifteen?" The doctor pushed the presbyopia on the bridge of his nose, "Ah? What do I mean, you are quite young and don't look like someone who took the college entrance examination. So are you nervous about the high school entrance examination?"
"I don't think so." Le Zhishi said, "But I am indeed a little nervous and can't sleep well at night." He added, "My brother is about to take the college entrance examination."
"You are worried about him." The doctor seemed to find it funny, "You should be nervous about yourself, silly boy."
Lezhi finally took a bunch of medicine home and took it for two days, and his symptoms were relieved a lot.
The school informed the junior high school that it would be vacating the college entrance examination room in a few days. Everyone began to move books home little by little. After clearing the room, they waited for the examination room to be decorated. From the time they visited the examination room to the end of the college entrance examination, all the students in the junior high school were at home for the holidays, and Le Zhishi also
You can only review at home.
Seeing that he was hungry while reading, he went downstairs to find something to eat. Lin Rong happened to be video chatting with a friend. Lin Rong called him over to say hello. Le Zhishi sat down with pudding and politely called aunt.
"You're so good, you've become handsome again. Hey Xiaorong, your two sons are about to take exams."
"Yes." Lin Rong's face changed in a second and she covered her heart, "I hope they are all in good health recently. After the exam, we will go on a trip."
"You are really like this. Parents are worried about not doing well in the exams and are worried about their aspirations, so you just have fun. Hey, do you know that Chen Xiaomei, the doctor? She even went to Guiyuan Temple to burn incense for her daughter the day before yesterday."
Lin Rong laughed, "Does it work?"
"She was also introduced to her by others. Someone said they were thieves before, which made me want to burn a stick of incense."
"I'm too lazy to go, it's too much trouble. My boss won't appreciate it either."
