It was the first time that Xie Huai heard Jiang Xu curse someone so bluntly, and it was for... him.
"Did you hit him?" Xie Huai asked.
Jiang Xu said: "No, I didn't."
"It's good that I didn't encounter him." Xie Huai breathed a sigh of relief.
After hearing what Xie Huai said, Jiang Xu's lips twitched slightly.
He deliberately asked Xie Huai: "Why, are you worried about him?"
Xie Huai almost couldn't breathe: "Who cares about him? I'm not an idiot. I'm..."
Xie Huai hesitated before finishing his words: "I'm worried about... you."
Damn it, why did he say it so ambiguously? Jiang Xu shouldn’t be able to notice anything, Xie Huai thought.
"What are you worried about me?" Jiang Xu continued to ask.
At this moment, Xie Huai suddenly suspected that Jiang Xu did it on purpose, but he still said slowly: "What if there is a surveillance camera there, and he didn't hit you, but you hit him, Yuan Tao might turn around and call the police."
Jiang Xu observed Xie Huai's expression, then said a few words: "There is no surveillance there."
"Fuck, that bastard Yuan Tao got away with it." Xie Huai cursed.
The voice of this sentence was neither too loud nor too soft, and just fell into the ears of the physics teacher who walked into the classroom with a textbook.
Xie Huai's eyebrows jumped, and a bad premonition came to his mind.
All the students in the class looked at Xie Huai, and their eyes seemed to say, Xie Huai, you are finished.
Their physics teacher is a bald man with few hairs named Yang Shunguo. He is in his forties, tall and thin, with a fierce look on his face. He seems to be very difficult to get along with.
His temper is just like his appearance.
"Xie Huai?" Yang Shunguo put the physics book on the podium, supported his hands on both sides, and squinted at him.
"Can you repeat what you just said?"
Xie Huai had expected this sentence. He had heard similar words so many times that he became accustomed to it.
For example, when Yang Shunguo saw someone making small movements, he would call on that person to stand up and do the movements again. When he saw someone talking, he would call on that person to say it again. Even when he saw someone crying in his class, after that student finished crying, Yang Shunguo would ask that student to cry again.
Therefore, Yang Shunguo’s reputation among students is not very good.
Xie Huai leaned back in his chair, opened his mouth, and said, "Fuck, that cunt of Yuan Tao got it for free."
The whole class burst into laughter immediately.
Hao Xuexi turned around and gave Xie Huai a thumbs up: "6."
Yang Shunguo also heard about what happened between Xie Huai and the others and No. 24 Middle School. He knew that it was not their fault, and that Xie Huai's foot was deliberately injured by the man named Yuan Tao.
He looked at Xie Huai and picked up the book again: "Don't swear next time. Okay, let's start the class."
Xie Huai didn't attend any physical education classes this week. In order not to trouble Jiang Xu to carry him up and down, Xie Huai stayed in the classroom and slept on his stomach during every physical education class.
During one physical education class, Jiang Xu didn't bring his school uniform jacket downstairs and left it on the desk. To his right was the corridor window, which was not closed, and the wind blew from time to time. Xie Huai felt a little cold after sleeping for half the class. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Jiang Xu's school uniform on his left.
Then he reached out and took it, put it on himself, smelled it, and it was the familiar scent of plants and trees. Then he fell asleep comfortably.
After coming back from physical education class, Jiang Xu saw Xie Huai sleeping with his school uniform jacket on.
Xie Huai realized that there was someone next to him. He knew without thinking that it was Jiang Xu who had returned from physical education class, but he did not open his eyes and just kept them closed.
Jiang Xu stared at Xie Huai for a while, then suddenly reached out and gently pinched Xie Huai's right index finger which was placed on the desk.
Xie Huai was caught off guard and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
He felt like he couldn't breathe. Jiang Xu, what are you doing
The second before Xie Huai opened his eyes, Jiang Xu withdrew his hand.
There was no expression on his face, he was very calm. Xie Huai thought, if I hadn't been awake, I wouldn't have known that you, Jiang Xu, would actually touch your deskmate while he was sleeping.
And he was able to act like "it's none of my business" afterwards. Xie Huai felt it would be a pity if Jiang Xu didn't become an actor in the future.

Xie Huai had previously told his uncles and aunts not to tell his parents, but Zhao Li and the others still found out in the end.
Then he immediately called Xie Huai.
"Huaihuai, how are you?" Zhao Li's anxious and worried voice came from the other end of the phone, "Are you still in pain?"
"Mom, I'm fine. It's been a few days, and my feet don't hurt that much now," Xie Huai said to Zhao Li with a smile, "You and Dad don't have to worry about me. My uncle and uncle have dealt with it, and besides, there are people who will take care of me."
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Xu who was getting water for him outside the bedroom. Jiang Xu noticed Xie Huai's gaze and looked over as well. Xie Huai didn't feel guilty at all when he was caught peeking, and he even smiled at Jiang Xu.
"Remember to tell me and your dad if something like this happens next time, otherwise we will be very worried about you. Don't keep it to yourself. No matter what happens, remember that you still have us," Zhao Li said softly to Xie Huai, and then she realized what Xie Huai had just said, "You said someone is taking care of you? Who is it?"
Xie Huai said: "Jiang Xu."
"Xiao Jiang?" Zhao Li asked in surprise, "Will this be too much trouble for him? How about I come home?"
Xie Huai quickly waved his hand: "No need, you guys just mind your own business, he was the one who said he would take care of me."
"Did you say that yourself?" Zhao Li paused.
Xie Huai said "hmm".
Zhao Li had noticed before that Jiang Xu and Xie Huai had a special relationship. That time he was taking care of a dog, but this time he was directly taking care of a person.
Zhao Li suddenly realized, could it be that...
"Huai Huai, tell mom, are you and Jiang Xu..."
Xie Huai: “What is it?”
"Are you together?" Zhao Li said.
puff-
Xie Huai vomited blood.
How did his mother think of this directly
Xie Huai gritted his teeth and explained to Zhao Li: "Mom, we don't have it."
Zhao Li's tone was obviously a little unconvincing: "Oh, really?"
Xie Huai held his forehead with his hand: "Yes, at least not yet."
Zhao Li caught some words and suddenly laughed on the other end of the phone: "Huai Huai, do you like Xiao Jiang?"
This time Xie Huai did not deny it: "Yeah, I like it."
"What do you like?" Jiang Xu's slightly hoarse voice came into Xie Huai's ears from not far away.
Xie Huai was startled and his phone dropped to the ground in a panic, making a slight sound.
Then he bent down to pick it up, wanting to say goodbye to Zhao Li first, but he heard his mother laughing on the other end of the phone.
Xie Huai: “…”
"Are you scared?" Jiang Xu walked to the bedside and asked.
He looked at Xie Huai's face, which was still not calm, and regretted that he had spoken out suddenly just now.
"I'm sorry," he said.
Xie Huai immediately said: "No, I'm not scared by you."
If he hadn't been frightened by Jiang Xu's sudden voice, Xie Huai wouldn't be so timid.
He was just afraid that Jiang Xu had heard what he had just said.
Xie Huai was afraid that Jiang Xu would ignore him after knowing that he liked him.
Jiang Xu half-knelt in front of him. Xie Huai raised his eyelids and looked at Jiang Xu.
He saw himself in Jiang Xu's pupils.
Xie Huai suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, and the pain made him frown slightly.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xu's expression changed immediately, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Xie Huai shook his head: "No, I just had a palpitation and it hurts a little."
"Xie Huai, you have to take your health seriously, okay?" Jiang Xu's expression suddenly became serious, "I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow."
"No need..." Xie Huai said, "Do I have to go to the hospital for a checkup just because of palpitations? I've had them before, and they're normal, right?"
"Then we have to go to the hospital. Doctor Qin also said that you'd better go to the hospital to check your foot." Jiang Xu stood up, his tone was not to be refused, "I'll ask the teacher for leave."
Xie Huai reached out and grabbed the corner of Jiang Xu's shirt, stopping him: "Can we go the day after tomorrow? Finish the class tomorrow."
Jiang Xu didn't move.
Xie Huai said again: "Jiang Xu."
Jiang Xu had no choice but to agree in the end.
Now it is much more convenient for Xie Huai to walk than in the past few days. He had just finished taking a shower in the bathroom and opened the bathroom door, and saw Jiang Xu standing next to him as usual.
Jiang Xu has been doing this for the past few days, standing on one side of the bathroom door and waiting for Xie Huai to open the door. He would then walk over, pick up Xie Huai, walk to the bed and put him on it.
Xie Huai had never been taken care of like this since he grew up, and he was not used to it at first. But after being hugged like this by Jiang Xu twice, he gradually got used to it.
It's true that I feel embarrassed, but it's also true that I want to be hugged by Jiang Xu as a princess.
Jiang Xu finished cleaning up and was about to close the door and go to the living room when Xie Huai suddenly called him.
"Jiang Xu, do you want to sleep with me?" Xie Huai asked tentatively.
Jiang Xu was stunned for a moment, then said, "No."
Xie Huai: “?”
Sure enough, Jiang Xu didn't want to sleep with him.
Xie Huai couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
Then Xie Huai heard Jiang Xu say calmly: "I haven't taken a shower yet."
Xie Huai: “???”
"You go to sleep first, I'm going to take a shower." Jiang Xu turned around and couldn't help but smiled.
He went into the bathroom with some clothes, and Xie Huai glanced in the direction of the bathroom door.
"Oh my god." Xie Huai was stunned.
The bathroom door is frosted and translucent. Although I can't see inside the bathroom completely, I can see a not-too-blurry human figure.
Jiang Xu's body lines are very smooth, from the shoulder blades all the way down to the calves, they look very tight and strong...
Actually, I can't see anything special, it just looks like she's well developed.
Xie Huai turned his head abruptly, his face flushed red.
Then Jiang Xu probably didn't see him when he was inside before. After all, Jiang Xu was standing next to him and probably couldn't see anything.
Jiang Xu came out of the bathroom and saw that Xie Huai had already fallen asleep, leaving half of the seat for him.
He walked over quietly, turned off the light, and then lay down facing Xie Huai's back. He wanted to reach out and touch him, but was afraid of disturbing Xie Huai, so he could only whisper "Good night."
Xie Huai was not asleep. He and Jiang Xu were both preoccupied with their own thoughts. At some point, Xie Huai felt a sinking sensation behind him, followed by a faint scent of grass. A few minutes later, Jiang Xu heard the steady breathing of Xie Huai, who was only a few centimeters away from him. Only then did he feel relieved and slowly fell asleep.
The registration deadline for the autumn sports meet is today. The sports committee member looked at the registration form with a worried look on his face.
Several events did not meet the required number of participants, such as the men's 3,000 meters, triple jump and 800-meter relay.
All three projects are just one person short.
The sports committee member asked everyone one by one, and some of them either had already reached the required level for the event they chose, or could not run.
The autumn sports meet requires that each student can only register for up to three events.
“I’m running 3,000 meters.”
Jiang Xu frowned, stopped writing, and looked at Xie Huai.
The people around also looked over at the same time.
Xie Huai knew what Jiang Xu was worried about, and he said, "The autumn sports meet is still more than a month away. By then, my foot will have healed long enough, so it's fine."
"In order to prevent our class from being punished, it's okay to run a little bit."
The classmates around were instantly moved.
If Xie Huai wasn't so good at triple jump, he would have signed up as well.
Jiang Xu finally signed up for the 800-meter relay. He wanted to switch with Xie Huai, but Xie Huai refused.
"Just wait for me to get first place." Xie Huai said to Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu looked at Xie Huai with a dark look in his eyes: "After winning first place, what next?"
Xie Huai: “I haven’t thought about it yet.”
"Give it to me, please?" Jiang Xu said, "I'm not talking about a certificate."
Xie Huai's heart skipped a few beats: "What is that?"
Jiang Xu leaned close to Xie Huai's ear. Xie Huai could feel Jiang Xu's breath hitting the side of his neck, which was a bit itchy. He instinctively wanted to avoid it, but he didn't move.
"I'll tell you tonight."
