It seems that this distance is a little too close.

Jiang Xu said to tell him at night. What is it that must be told at night

If it’s not a certificate, then what else is first

Xie Huai buried his head in thought, and suddenly an incredible idea popped into his mind.

Jiang Xu asked Xie Huai if he could give the first place to him, then apart from the certificate, it would only be Xie Huai himself.

Xie Huaicheng was surprised by his own thoughts. He turned the pen in his hand, and then with a light "snap" sound, the pen fell.

What if, he meant what if, Jiang Xu also likes him

Come to think of it, Jiang Xu was so nice to him, so nice to Xie Huai that he had gotten used to it.

But how could ordinary classmates and brothers do this

When he was not at home, Jiang Xu took the initiative to help him take care of Xiao Huaihuai. When he was injured, Jiang Xu would take care of him meticulously. When he fought with others, Jiang Xu would help him fight back and then carry the child home. He would apply ice to his injuries, even if Jiang Xu's own hands were frozen purple.

He would give himself the school uniform jacket even though he was obviously cold too.

There are so many things that Xie Huai himself can’t even count how good Jiang Xu has been to him.

It seemed like Jiang Xu started treating him so well since the beginning of high school.

He actually just discovered it.

Today is Friday, there is no evening self-study, and school is over at 4:30 in the afternoon.

As soon as school was over, Lu Yi ran towards Xie Huai and asked him excitedly, "Brother Huai, are you and Brother Xu going to the movies tomorrow? Xiong Qiqi, the sports committee member, and the student committee member are all going, so I wanted to ask you."

Xie Huai promised Jiang Xu that he would go to the hospital for a physical examination tomorrow.

So he shook his head and refused: "No, I have something to do tomorrow."

Jiang Xu took his schoolbag off the hook beside the table, put it on one shoulder, and said, "I'm not going either."

After listening to this, Lu Yi sighed: "Oh, okay."

"By the way, Brother Huai, are you really going to run 3,000 meters?" Lu Yi looked past Jiang Xu and looked at Xie Huai's feet, still feeling a little worried.

Xie Huai laughed angrily: "Why, you don't believe me?"

"Hey, Brother Huai, don't talk nonsense. I never said that," Lu Yi said quickly, "I'm just worried about your foot. After all, it's so badly injured this time."

Speaking of this, Lu Yi wanted to pull Yuan Tao out and beat him up again. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fuck that idiot Yuan Tao. If it weren't for him, your kick wouldn't be like this."

"My legs aren't broken."

Hearing Lu Yi's words, it sounded as if his leg was broken.

"I know, but I just can't help it."

Xie Huai: "I know you have good intentions, so how about..."

Lu Yi looked up.

Xie Huai leaned back and looked at Lu Yi with a squinting expression: "Can you run 3,000 meters for me?"

Lu Yi: “…”

In fact, this does not have to be the case.

Jiang Xu laughed when he heard that. Lu Yi was startled. He looked at Jiang Xu and thought, damn, you know what, their squad leader looks so damn good when he laughs.

As he walked out of the school gate, the wind blew all the way, and Xie Huai's hair was obviously a lot messier. He raised his hand and pulled it a few times, and he felt comfortable instantly after straightening it out.

Xie Huai can now walk without help, although he still walks a little unsteadily.

He walked slowly, and Jiang Xu also slowed down, walking shoulder to shoulder with Xie Huai.

From time to time, Xie Huai would slightly raise his head and say a few words to Jiang Xu, and Jiang Xu would respond to every word he said.

From a distance, they looked like a close couple.

Jiang Xu glanced at the convenience store next to him and asked Xie Huai: "Do you want some candy?"

"Will you buy it for me?" Xie Huai put one hand on Jiang Xu's shoulder and replied with a smile.

Public account: Sweetness exceeds the standard

Spare: Sweetness

Jiang Xu: "Well, I'll buy it for you."

The corners of Xie Huai's lips rose up little by little: "Then I want to eat."

"Wait for me." Jiang Xu said these two words and walked into the 24-hour convenience store next to him.

It came out in less than a minute.

Xie Huai raised his eyebrows: "So fast?"

Jiang Xu hummed and opened the bag in his hand. Xie Huai leaned in to take a look inside the bag and was shocked by the amount of things inside.

"so much?"

"We don't have the kind of candy you like here," Jiang Xu said.

Xie Huai blinked: "So you took a pack of each kind of candy?"

Jiang Xu said: "Well, I wonder what else you like to eat."

"I like everything you buy." Xie Huai said vaguely.

Jiang Xu was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Xie Huai after coming to his senses: "What did you say?"

Xie Huai stopped talking.

There weren't too many people coming and going around them, but occasionally someone would look at them.

A gust of wind blew by, bringing with it a rustling sound. Jiang Xu's school uniform jacket was blown slightly by the wind, and his hair was messed up.

Jiang Xu's heart was also in turmoil.

"Let's talk about it when we get home, okay?" Xie Huai raised his eyes, pursed his lips, looked into Jiang Xu's eyes and asked.

Jiang Xu looked at the pair of clear and bright eyes. Xie Huai looked at him like this. He couldn't help but have some paranoid thoughts. He wanted to kiss Xie Huai's lips fiercely. No matter how Xie Huai struggled, he would not let go. He wanted to rob Xie Huai of his breath and wanted more...

Jiang Xu rubbed the knuckles of his left index finger, suppressing these thoughts. After a few seconds, he nodded and said, "Okay."

As soon as they arrived home, Xie Huai walked in first. When little Huaihuai heard the sound, he immediately climbed up from his nest and rushed to the entrance. Just as he was about to bump into Xie Huai who had just changed his shoes, he suddenly braked and stopped only a few centimeters away from Xie Huai.

"Little Huaihuai." Xie Huai half squatted down, leaned forward, and touched little Huaihuai's head. Little Huaihuai felt comfortable being touched, so he rubbed against Xie Huai's palm.

Jiang Xu walked in and closed the door. When Xiao Huaihuai saw Jiang Xu, he immediately abandoned Xie Huai and ran to Jiang Xu's feet and circled around.

Xie Huai's palms were empty: "..."

Xie Huai thought, I am quite good to this son, why does he love the other father more

He looked at Jiang Xu fiercely, and Jiang Xu looked back at him with an innocent look.

He left the father and son, took the candy from Jiang Xu's hand, walked slowly to the sofa in the living room and sat down. Xie Huai turned on the TV skillfully and found an anime he had not finished watching and continued watching it.

He looked at the bag on the coffee table, not knowing what kind of candy was inside and too lazy to choose, so he reached in and randomly took the top bag.

Take it out and take a look.

Lemon candy.

There was a hint of surprise in Xie Huai's eyes. Without thinking much, he opened the package, took out a candy, tore off the candy wrapper, and put it in his mouth.

Sweet and sour.

After Jiang Xu finished cleaning up, he went to the refrigerator to get a can of lemon tea, then took out a can of room temperature tea, and walked over to sit next to Xie Huai.

Jiang Xu opened a can of lemon tea with one hand, placed it in front of Xie Huai, and asked, "Lemon candy, is it sweet?"

Xie Huai didn't know why his heart was beating faster. With a "click", the lemon candy in Xie Huai's mouth was broken into pieces. After a while, Jiang Xu heard Xie Huai's voice: "Sweet."

for a long time.

"Xie Huai." Jiang Xu called him.

Xie Huai was inexplicably nervous: "Yeah."

Jiang Xu took a sip of iced lemon tea and said, "Do you know when I first met you?"

Xie Huai blurted out subconsciously: "Isn't it on the first day of the new year?"

Jiang Xu shook his head and smiled softly: "Not really, it was during the summer vacation before I entered the first grade of junior high school."

Now Xie Huai was really confused. He remembered that he didn't go anywhere at home that summer vacation. How did Jiang Xu know him

"I wanted to say thank you at that time, but before I opened my mouth, you were scared by me," Jiang Xu looked at Xie Huai and slowly recounted this past event that no one knew except him and Xie Huai, "someone ran to his bed and wrapped himself up like a dumpling."

Xie Huai's fingers curled up slightly. He remembered what Jiang Xu said, and he would think about it sometimes when he was unhappy, and he would feel much better.

Because that guy was the only boy who didn't mind him talking too much.

Xie Huai used to like sharing his happy things with others. When he was in primary school, when he saw some classmates were sad, he would tell them about his happy things, but many male classmates found him annoying and said he talked too much.

It was not until he entered junior high school that Xie Huai realized that his male classmates in elementary school did not annoy him because he talked too much, but because the girls in their class were close to Xie Huai.

So Xie Huai later deliberately spoke less, but he found that after entering junior high school, the situation like that in elementary school did not exist at all.

Many of the male classmates who got along well with Xie Huai still disliked that he was quiet, so Xie Huai went back to being his former talkative self.

Before this, only the boy who had been in the same ward with him was willing to listen to him for so long.

"You are..." Xie Huai opened his mouth.

"Yes, I am him." Jiang Xu said.

Xie Huai asked: "Did you find me annoying at that time?"

He was a little nervous. He was afraid of hearing an answer he didn't want to hear, but since this person was Jiang Xu, he couldn't help but ask.

"No, I haven't bothered you." Jiang Xu replied.

Xie Huai paused for a few seconds and asked slowly, "So when I stuffed all my snacks into your hands, didn't you look at me with impatience?"

Jiang Xu: "... I'm used to it. I always have that expression when I look at everyone."

But Jiang Xu didn't expect that Xie Huai could remember this for so long.

After hearing Jiang Xu's answer, Xie Huai's heart fell back to its original place: "Oh, I thought you were annoyed with me too."

"You can remember just one look for so long?"

Xie Huai looked at Jiang Xu angrily: "Since you were unhappy, I gave you all my snacks, all of which were my favorites. But you still stared at me like that. Who wouldn't be angry and who wouldn't remember it for so long?"

Jiang Xu looked at Xie Huai who was a little angry and smiled helplessly: "I apologized to you, and you still said I was dumb."

"You can't blame me for not speaking up."

Jiang Xu's gaze stayed on Xie Huai's lips for a few seconds, then moved away: "Xie Huai, you know, that was the first time I apologized to someone."

Xie Huai stopped talking.

"You were very popular in junior high school. I know a lot of people liked you, both boys and girls. Some people wanted to pursue you, but I heard that you were difficult to pursue and no one had ever succeeded."

Jiang Xu paused for a second and continued, "I have liked you since the first grade of junior high school, so, do I still have a chance to pursue you now?"

Xie Huai's mind went blank, and then he heard his heartbeat getting louder and louder. His fingertips couldn't stop trembling, and Xie Huai felt like he was about to suffocate.

It turns out Jiang Xu really likes him.

Xie Huai's heart finally settled down, and joy instantly filled his heart.

It was also the first time that Jiang Xu confessed his feelings to someone. He was very nervous. He was afraid that Xie Huai would never talk to him again.

"Jiang Xu."

Jiang Xu's Adam's apple rolled up and down: "Yeah."

Xie Huai suddenly grabbed Jiang Xu by the collar and moved closer.

Jiang Xu's mind exploded.

Jiang Xu's lips were a little cold, and after staying there for two seconds, Xie Huai slowly let go of his hand.

He panted lightly and asked Jiang Xu nervously, "Lemon candy, is it sweet?"

Jiang Xu licked his lips and smiled slightly: "Sweet."
