The door lock of the bathroom clicked, and soon the sound of rustling clothes and running water came out.
Jiang Tian looked at the narrow tea-white door, and the light-colored hot steam leaked out from the louvered fan below, and there was a wet trace on the ground in front of the door.
His long and narrow eyes blinked lightly, his eyes were withdrawn from the door, and he asked Shi Yu, "What's wrong with him?"
"What's wrong?" Shi Yu pretended to be stupid. It was rare for Jiang Tian to take the initiative to ask questions and chat, and he was flattered... No, he was really surprised. There is a guilty conscience of being caught for doing bad things.
Jiang Tian came in and put his schoolbag on the table. Sheng Wang's bag was next to him, the zipper was not opened, and nothing was taken out, as if he had not moved it when he brought it back.
He remembered the darkness when he first entered the dormitory, and looked at Shi Yu suspiciously: "What were you doing just now?"
Shi Yu was stuffing his notebook under the pillow, and when he heard the words, his hand shook and he almost dropped the computer on the ground.
He gave Jiang Tian a dry laugh, and said lightly, "Actually, we were watching horror movies before you came back. I didn't watch such movies much, so Sheng Wang just came back, so he took him to watch it with me, and be brave."
"Take him courageous." Jiang Tian glanced at the closed narrow door again, and couldn't help but said, "Then the two shake together?"
"Of course not." Shi Yu used horror films to cover up "action films", and he naturally spoke incessantly: "Sheng Wang is so courageous, I'm scared to pee, he can't even see his eyes. With a blink, you can also switch the music on and off and drag the progress bar for me. At one point, I was planning to take a shower."
Jiang Tian was stunned for a moment, and his expression finally showed a slight stun. He listened to Shi Yu's talk for a long time as if he was pouring beans, and finally asked as if confirming: "You said that Shengwang is bold?"
"Yes." Shi Yu nodded. "He said that he had seen basically all the thrillers and horror films on the market. He said that when he was a child, he would watch this at home alone, but he would become numb if he watched too much."
After talking a lot, he suddenly remembered that the person in front of him is from the same family as Sheng Wang, two brothers, do you need to listen to him as an outsider? So Shi Yu stopped talking and said, "Oh yes, you must know about these Tim brothers."
However, Jiang Tian didn't know, Sheng Wang never mentioned it.
He suddenly remembered that late night when there was a false alarm, the housekeeper and security downstairs were discussing the thief who broke into the dormitory.
He leaned on the bed rail and asked Sheng Wang if he would be afraid. The other party's clear eyes were covered with sleepy fog, and then he moved out of position and patted the bed.
Jiang Tian was slightly scratched by something in his heart.
Shi Yu was busy collecting computers, pulling the curtains of the bed, and taking out his mobile phone. He stood by the table for a long time and suddenly felt a little thirsty, so he took out water from his schoolbag to drink.
Sheng Wang took this bath for a long time, and when he came out, even his eyes had a layer of translucent water light as if they had been washed. He lowered his eyes and grabbed a towel to wipe his hair, but he almost collided with Jiang Tian by the closet.
The two were stunned for a moment at the close distance, and then each stepped aside for half a step. Sheng Wang blinked away the water on his eyelashes, wiped his hair and said, "Why are you standing here, you startle me."
If the person in front of him is Gao Tianyang or someone else, Jiang Tian may not be able to help but say, "Aren't you brave, and there is still time to be scared?"
But he didn't mention it. He just took the folded clothes and towel from the closet and said, "I'm taking a shower."
"Oh." Sheng Wang turned sideways to make way for him.
There were still hot flashes in the bathroom, and the smell of the body wash didn't dissipate, like a trace left by a previous person. Boys are very rough and don't pay much attention to things. But Sheng Wang still said in a mysterious way, "Why don't you wait? It's very hot inside."
Jiang Tian revealed an inquiring look.
Sheng Wang had a towel on his head, and his half-moist hair fell from his forehead to cover his eyes. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's nothing, you can go."
Jiang Tian went into the bathroom, and Shi Yu finally got down to it after a lot of tossing. He picked up a book for the first time and read it, and he didn't know if he read it.
Sheng Wang pulled out his chair and sat at the table, hunched his shoulders and wiped his hair. After a while, he raised his head, Shi Yu had already put down his book and played with his mobile phone. He was chatting happily with people on WeChat, with an uncontrollable smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't even notice other people's eyes.
He looked at Shi Yu for a while, and suddenly remembered that time when Xu Dazui took away his mobile phone outside the playground, Dazui asked him if he was in a puppy love. He was very puzzled at the time and didn't understand why Big Mouth had such a strange idea, but now... he probably knows.
"Who are you chatting with to laugh like this?" Sheng Wang asked casually.
"Ah?" Shi Yu raised his eyes, the silly smile on his face finally subsided a little, and said, "Who else, congratulations."
really.
Sheng Wang stopped wiping his hair, then took off the towel and grabbed it in his hand.
Shi Yu didn't notice anything unusual about him.
When people of this age fall in love, on the one hand, they are a little secretive, and on the other hand they want to show off. After returning to He Shi's WeChat, he flipped through the chat records aimlessly for a while, and finally couldn't help but say to Sheng Wang, "I found out that no matter how fierce those girls are, they are cute when they are in love."
Sheng Wang nodded absently, not interested in the person he mentioned was not cute.
Shi Yu didn't care whether he listened carefully or not, just nodding was enough. He talked a lot about He Shi, what dimples when she smiles, how beautiful the sun shines on her hair, and although she is competitive, she is cute as long as she doesn't get horny, and she highlights her fair skin, Good looking and long legs.
Sheng Wang lowered his eyes a little distracted. The previous ones went in from his left ear and out from his right ear, and he heard the last part the most clearly.
He listened to Shi Yu's boast, but what appeared in his mind was Jiang Tian—
After playing basketball, Jiang Tian always likes to brush his slightly wet forehead back, then pick up the school uniform jacket on the railing and put it on his shoulders. He had long fingers and long legs, and his skin was cold and pale.
Sheng Wang blinked and pushed these things out of his mind. Then he asked Shi Yu thoughtlessly: "How do you know that you like her?"
"Ah?" Shi Yu was stunned when asked.
"There are so many girls with fair skin, good looks and long legs, how do you know that you like He Shi?" Sheng Wang said.
Shi Yu had never encountered this kind of question before, and was a little stunned for a while.
He actually thought about it for a while and tried to answer: "I don't think much about other girls. I won first place in the sprint and triple jump at the sports meeting, and a group of people from our class came to hand me water. Towels, there are so many girls, I just saw her. I accidentally caught her when I was picking up water from her hands, and I was very nervous, and my hands were sweaty. And I, I really want to kiss—"
"—Forget it, these are bullshit." He blushed like a monkey's butt, as if it wasn't him who had just pulled out the Xiaohuang Pian, "You don't need to think about this kind of question, who you like and who doesn't like you must be the best. Clear."
Sheng Wang rested his elbows on his knees, holding the towel loosely between his hanging fingers. He listened to the silence for a moment, and then said "oh" and said nothing.
He went to the balcony to wash and dry the towels on his own, then climbed onto the top bunk.
"Going to bed so early?" Shi Yu was still a little unfinished, but the audience had already run away.
"Exam tomorrow morning, brother." Sheng Wang replied casually, then rolled up the quilt and turned towards the wall.
After a while, the door of the bathroom rang, and Jiang Tian came out after taking a shower.
He heard footsteps stop beside the bed, and Jiang Tian asked in a low voice, "Sleep?"
Shi Yu replied on the opposite side: "I guess I fell asleep, saying that I will go to bed early and get up early for the exam tomorrow."
Jiang Tian stood for a while, then the bed moved slightly, he should be sitting on the edge of the bed. After a while, Qiu Wenbin came back after reviewing. They lowered their voices and said a few words, and the lights out signal rang.
It was the end of autumn in early November, and the dew was even deeper.
In the middle of the night, a few muffled thunder rolled in the sky, and the heavy rain fell without warning. The raindrops slanted into the balcony and slammed on the window glass, rushing and slowing, noisily.
Sheng Wang finally turned over lightly and lay flat on the bed.
The street lamps downstairs reflected in the distance, forming a blurred spot on the rain-swept glass.
He stared at the spot for a while, then took out the phone beside his pillow and turned on the screen—3:14 in the morning. At 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, the Affiliated High School arranged for the school bus to go to the South College Entrance Examination Hall. He had less than 4 hours left to rest, but he had no sleepiness.
He plugged in his earphones and planned to find some soothing music to listen to, but found a message on WeChat that he didn't notice—
Jiang Tian: Are you really asleep
Sheng Wang was subconsciously startled, and looked over to the lower bunk with his probe, and saw Jiang Tian lying on his side, one hand still habitually resting on his neck, his elbow almost covering most of his side face, and his eyebrows and eyes were in the shadows.
It may be that the shadows gave people an illusion. He seemed to frown when he fell asleep, as if he was not very happy.
Sheng Wang lay on his stomach and looked at it for a while, then he withdrew his gaze and turned around.
He lay on the bed and scratched the chat log, and then he noticed the time of sending the message - 11:20 pm, when the lights were turned off, all the movements were hidden in the lights-out signal, which would not wake up those who were already asleep.
Sheng Wang stared at that time, thinking that maybe that was the reason.
The man sleeping on the bottom bunk looked cold and hard, but he was more careful than anyone else. And he happened to be sensitive, always finding these twigs.
It must be because he has been alone for too long, and Jiang Tian is too close, that's why this is the case.
He has no experience and can only find this reason.
Shi Yu was right, he didn't need to think about this kind of question, and he knew who he liked and who didn't like.
He should have known already...
He likes Jiang Tian.
But no, you are my brother. Sheng Wang said in his heart.
Sheng Wang stared at the phone screen for a long time, and finally clicked on Jiang Tian's information page and changed the name that had been used for a long time.
When he exited, the WeChat interface had been updated. The cat named "Captain" was still at the top of the interface, lying on the gray and white courtyard wall, looking down at him quietly after a few years.
The avatar of the person chatting has not changed, but the remark name has changed, and it has become "brother".
