After finishing reading the entire essay, Yao Wenjing resisted the urge to call Xie Huai to stand in the corridor as well.
In an essay, nine out of ten sentences are about his handsome deskmate.
This time, the essay assignment she made for National Day did not specify the topic, and allowed everyone to express themselves. As long as you wrote at least four essays, you were considered done.
As a result, Xie Huai was so confused by the first essay.
The first thing he said was “My desk mate is so handsome”.
The whole class has been laughing since Xie Huai read the first sentence. Several people who had just washed their faces and were standing in the corridor all looked inside from the back door, each with a puzzled look on their face. They thought, what good thing happened while we were away? Why are they all so happy
Lu Yi clasped his fist towards Xie Huai from a distance: "Awesome."
Hao Xuexi looked back at Jiang Xu. The protagonist seemed to be quite happy
He turned his head silently and saw Xie Huai's black and white face. It was white because Xie Huai was really white, and it was black because Xie Huai's face was very black at this moment.
And Xie Huai above now only wants to kill people.
He stood on the podium, looking at the culprit with vicious eyes, feeling that he would step down and stab his boyfriend in the next second.
Jiang Xu did not laugh out loud like the other students, but the upturned corners of his mouth proved that he smiled.
"You..." Yao Wenjing calmed herself down, looked at Xie Huai and exhaled, "You go down first."
Xie Huai took his composition book and walked to his seat.
When passing by Jiang Xu, he reached out and poked him on the back with his fingers, neither lightly nor heavily.
Yao Wenjing on the stage opened the textbook and started the class.
Jiang Xu saw that Xie Huai's face looked strange and thought that Xie Huai was angry, so he stretched out his right hand and touched the palm of Xie Huai's left hand with his fingertips.
Jiang Xu lowered his eyes: "I'm sorry."
Xie Huai was stunned for a moment, then held Jiang Xu's hand.
He was not angry with Jiang Xu. It was just a composition. When he was in junior high school, he was often called to the podium by his Chinese teacher to read his compositions. Besides, how could he bear to be angry with Jiang Xu
His face looked strange because his bones started to hurt again, and he could clearly feel that the pain this time was more severe than before.
Class is in session now, so it is impossible for Xie Huai to go outside to take medicine.
He had no choice but to endure the pain until the get out of class was over.
As soon as the bell rang, Xie Huai ran to the water cubicle on this floor, filled a paper cup with warm water, and swallowed the medicine.
Xie Huai's chest was heaving not too violently. He leaned against the wall to relax for a while, then threw the paper cup into the trash can beside him.
After throwing it, he turned around and saw Jiang Xu standing at the door.
Jiang Xu walked over a few steps, and his tall and straight figure blocked the sunlight from Xie Huai's eyes.
Jiang Xu frowned, his eyes dark, and asked, "Xie Huai, what's wrong with you?"
Xie Huai's fingertips curled up slightly, and then he looked at Jiang Xu blankly: "I'm fine, can't I just drink some water if I'm thirsty?"
"Do you think I believe it?" Jiang Xu's face also fell.
In this cramped water compartment, Xie Huai's breathing gradually became difficult. His throat tightened and his long eyelashes trembled slightly.
He looked at Jiang Xu and said slowly, "I'll tell you when I get home tonight, okay?"
It was exactly the same sentence that Jiang Xu said before he confessed his feelings.
But this time, Jiang Xu always had a bad feeling in his heart, but looking at Xie Huai like this, he couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to nod: "Okay."
The two returned to the classroom and soon after they sat down, they saw the student council standing in front of Xie Huai's desk. Then he placed the milk tea he had just bought on Xie Huai's desk and gently pushed it in front of Xie Huai.
"Xie Huai, I'm sorry. I accidentally mentioned your name to Teacher Yao in the composition just now. Don't blame the monitor."
Xie Huai: “?”
The student council member continued, "When I went to hand in my math homework, Teacher Yao saw me and asked me if Jiang Xu had collected all the essays. The math teacher was also asking me questions at the time, but I didn't react and just said I had collected all the essays..."
Time goes back to the end of morning self-study get out of class.
The student council member collected all the math homework and brought it to the office. The math teacher was sitting at his seat. She walked over and put it down. She originally planned to leave directly, but the math teacher insisted on pulling her aside to explain the questions to her.
Yao Wenjing also saw him at this time, so she asked casually: "Lin Yue, has Jiang Xu collected all the essays?"
The student council member's mind was all on the math teacher. When she heard Yao Wenjing asking her a question, she nodded without hesitation and said, "I have collected all the materials."
"I plan to pick a few books for them to read," Yao Wenjing said with a troubled look on her face, "but I don't know which ones are good."
"Xie Huai?" Lin Yue saw the math teacher take Xie Huai's homework book and subconsciously called out the name.
Yao Wenjing thought Lin Yue was answering her question, and squinted her eyes and thought for a moment: "Is Xie Huai's writing good? Did Jiang Xu say so?"
Lin Yue's attention was still on the problem. She was only one step away from solving it. No matter what Yao Wenjing asked, she nodded: "Yeah, yeah."
Yao Wenjing suddenly realized that this was the case.
-
"This is roughly what happened." The student council member laughed awkwardly.
Xie Huai was silent for a moment, then shook his head to the student council member and said, "It's okay, you can take the milk tea back and keep it for yourself."
Lin Yue was instantly moved. She apologized to Xie Huai again guiltily and then left.
"Are you not angry with me anymore?" Jiang Xu asked.
Xie Huai choked for a moment, took out the textbook for the next class and placed it on the table, then said: "I was not angry with you in the first place."
Jiang Xu thought of the way Xie Huai didn't want to talk to anyone in the last class, and he obviously didn't believe what Xie Huai said. He rubbed the back of Xie Huai's hand lightly and said lightly: "Why don't you pay attention to me?"
"Students who talk in class are not good students," Xie Huai said to Jiang Xu without blushing, "I am a good student."
A good student who climbs over the wall to fight and sleeps in class, these words suddenly popped up in Xie Huai's mind, which was quite magical.
What Xie Huai meant was that Jiang Xu was not a good student.
Jiang Xu's eyes were filled with unclear emotions. He thought of Xie Huai being kissed so hard that he almost couldn't breathe. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said calmly, "A good student won't fall in love too early."
Xie Huai: “…”
Unable to convince Jiang Xu, Xie Huai simply shut up.
After school in the afternoon, Lu Yi came over with a basketball and called out to Xie Huai and Jiang Xu: "Brother Huai, Brother Xu, do you want to play basketball?"
"I won't go." Xie Huai stared at the basketball in Lu Yi's hand for a few seconds, then put it aside. "I don't want to play."
He clearly wanted to fight, Jiang Xu could tell at a glance.
Lu Yi felt a little sorry, but when he thought of Xie Huai's injured foot, he estimated that it might not be fully healed yet, so he didn't try to persuade him, and turned to look at Jiang Xu, "Where's Brother Xu?"
"I'm not going either." Jiang Xu said to Lu Yi.
"Ah?" Lu Yi wanted to persuade him again, "We..."
Before he finished speaking, he was pulled away by Xiong Qiqi who came from the front row. When he left, Xiong Qiqi looked back at Jiang Xu and Xie Huai with an auntie smile, then turned around and looked at Lu Yi with disdain: "What do you mean we? They both said they don't want to fight anymore. Let's go, let's go fight."
Lu Yi was pushed out of the classroom by Xiong Qiqi, and her voice still echoed in the corridor: "Can you fight?"
Xiong Qiqi seemed to kick Lu Yiyi: "You look down on me, don't you? I'm going to beat you to pieces."
Xie Huai smiled suddenly, and after laughing for a while, he took out his mobile phone from the table and sent a WeChat message to his mother.
Xie Huai: Mom, can you help me ask the doctor if I can go to school during the day and go back to the hospital in the afternoon after I am hospitalized? It will only be for this half semester. I will stay in the hospital after half semester. "
There is only one month left until the half term.
In fact, Xie Huai knew that this was unlikely, but he didn't want to stay in the hospital for his last moments.
Zhao Li quickly replied to Xie Huai.
Mother: Mom will ask the doctor for you.
Xie Huai: Thank you, Mom.
Zhao Li also knew that her son would definitely not want to stay in a place like a hospital all the time.
During the holidays, Xie Huai can stay in the hospital all the time. During the school term, he can attend classes during the day and go back to the hospital in the afternoon. As long as he takes medicine on time at school and does not exercise, it should not be a big problem for only one month. But she is still very worried.
The evening self-study class ended early today because the first-year students had some activities to hold, and in order to avoid being disturbed by others, the school let the second and third-year students finish the evening self-study get out of class earlier.
On the way back, Xie Huai was very nervous. In fact, he still hadn't figured out what to tell Jiang Xu. If Jiang Xu hadn't met him in the water cubicle again today, perhaps he could have thought about it for a few more days. Although the result might be of no help, at least Jiang Xu wouldn't know too early and he would be less sad.
He was really afraid that Jiang Xu would be sad and unhappy.
Jiang Xu didn't say a word along the way. Both of them were very quiet, as if they were waiting for some serious judgment.
They didn't go home directly. Xie Huai took Jiang Xu to the rooftop.
Standing here, as long as you look up, you can see the stars in the sky.
But tonight there were none.
Xie Huai sat on the stairs and Jiang Xu sat next to him.
Xie Huai didn't say anything, and Jiang Xu didn't urge him either. They just waited quietly by the side.
At this time, the autumn night wind blew, bringing coolness, and blew into Xie Huai's heart.
Xie Huai looked at the light in the distance for a long time, and then Jiang Xu heard Xie Huai's crying voice: "Jiang Xu, I... don't want to be separated from you, not at all."
Jiang Xu's heart suddenly felt painful, and he quickly reached out to hug Xie Huai, and said softly: "Baby, we won't, never, not in this life, not in the next life."
Xie Huai tightly grasped the sleeve of Jiang Xu's school uniform, shook his head, and his throat tightened: "But, but I don't have this life anymore, Jiang Xu, you and I, don't have this life anymore."
Hearing this, Jiang Xu was stunned. Before he could ask the question, he heard Xie Huai say it again.
"I have bone cancer, it's in the advanced stage and it's incurable. The doctor said I only have one year to live. I... I don't want to die. If I die, what will happen to my mom and dad? I'm their only son."
"After my mother gave birth to me, the doctor told her that she could not have any more children. Why did it happen to me, Jiang Xu? Why did it happen to me?"
Xie Huai buried his head in Jiang Xu's arms, tears streaming down his face: "If I die...what will you do?"
When Jiang Xu heard the words "advanced bone cancer", his breathing completely stopped, his mind went blank, and he could no longer hear any sound from the outside world.
"Baby," Jiang Xu's heart ached as if he was dying, his voice trembled and was a little hoarse, "You, are you kidding me?"
But he understood that Xie Huai would not play such a joke on him.
"Jiang Xu, I can't bear to leave you. I used to really think about you and I being together forever. I thought I could be with you forever. I've thought about it all." Xie Huai clenched his teeth to prevent himself from crying out loud.
Jiang Xu's fingertips trembled. He stretched out his hands and gently lifted up Xie Huai's face. Where they touched was indeed wet.
It turned out that Xie Huai stuck to him because he really couldn't do it anymore in the future.
He lets me hold him in my arms as he sleeps because he knows he doesn't have much time left, so he is too uncomfortable to fall asleep. Only when he is held in my arms can he sleep peacefully.
When Jiang Xu thought about this, he felt like he was almost suffocating.
Xie Huai is only seventeen years old, why does his baby have to suffer so much
Jiang Xu leaned over and kissed away Xie Huai's tears, then rested his forehead against Xie Huai's.
Finally he couldn't hold it in any longer and started crying.
Xie Huai was afraid that Jiang Xu would be like this. He felt so distressed that his eyes were red. He reached out and grabbed the collar of Jiang Xu's school uniform and kissed Jiang Xu on his lips.
The night wind blew up their school uniform jackets, and their tears were dried by the wind, making a cracking pain.
This kiss is really bitter.
-
Jiang Xu hugged Xie Huai tightly, and after he fell asleep, he tiptoed out of the bedroom and went to a cabinet in the living room to find the cigarettes that his father had placed there when he came home last time.
He took a lighter to the balcony and smoked one cigarette after another.
He used to hate the smell of nicotine and couldn't stand it even at the slightest whiff.
Now... Jiang Xu only took one minute to learn how to smoke.
Jiang Xu lit another one, and the white smoke he exhaled disappeared into the night sky.
Only after finishing a box of ten cigarettes did Jiang Xu slowly squat down, lean against the glass door behind him, hug his knees and cry quietly.
It only took Jiang Xu one night to process the fact that Xie Huai was in the late stage of bone cancer.
The next morning, when Xie Huai woke up, Jiang Xu's hands were still around his waist.
Xie Huai touched his phone and saw that it was almost seven o'clock.
I still have classes today, and I haven’t even finished my morning self-study for ten minutes.
Xie Huai suddenly sat up from the bed. His shoulder hurt a little, but he didn't care about it as he was used to it.
He pushed Jiang Xu hard: "Jiang Xu, we are late!"
After changing his clothes, Xie Huai went to wash up, then ran to the entrance to change his shoes. When passing by the living room, Xie Huai took the tag in his hand and threw it into the trash can, but saw a pile of cigarette butts in it.
He paused. He didn't need to guess, he knew who smoked these cigarette butts.
Xie Huai felt a pain in his chest. Jiang Xu, did you smoke so many cigarettes last night
Jiang Xu hugged Xie Huai from behind: "Baby, don't look at it."
The breath gently brushed across Xie Huai's earlobe, and Xie Huai lowered his eyes and said "hmm" uncomfortably.
Xie Huai thought that he would feel better after telling Jiang Xu about his illness, but unfortunately, it didn't happen. Instead, he felt even sadder.
Jiang Xu looks no different from before, but that's just appearance.
When they arrived at the classroom, the first class had already started for ten minutes, and the math teacher asked them to come in and sit down without even looking at them.
After class, Xie Huai received a WeChat message from Ms. Zhao Li.
Mother: Huaihuai, Mom has asked the doctor, and he said that the decision should be made based on your current condition. Can you take a leave of absence today and come to the hospital
Xie Huai typed a reply.
Xie Huai: Okay.
Mother: Then mom will ask for leave from the teacher.
"Jiang Xu." Xie Huai called him.
Jiang Xu put down his pen and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xie Huai was silent for a moment and said, "I have to go to the hospital today, so I can't go home with you."
"Okay," Jiang Xu said nothing, nor asked anything, but gently shook Xie Huai's hand, "Then be careful."
Xie Huai bit his lip: "Yeah."
Zhao Li arranged for a driver to pick up Xie Huai at the school gate.
Xie Huai left. Jiang Xu stood at the door of the classroom, his eyes fixed on Xie Huai's back until he could no longer see anything, and then he returned to the classroom.
Lu Yi walked over, looked at the empty seat next to Jiang Xu, and asked, "Brother Huai asked for leave?"
Jiang Xu didn't even raise his head: "Yeah."
"I think he seems to be in a bad mood today. Is he sick?" Lu Yi scratched his head.
Jiang Xu's hand paused for a moment, then he said to Lu Yi, "No, he's fine. Something happened at home."
Lu Yi was relieved. He sighed, "That's fine. Hey, Xie Huai likes to keep everything to himself. If he really gets sick, I guess if no one finds out, he would be able to hide it until he recovers."
This was the first time Jiang Xu heard the name "Xie Huai" from Lu Yi.
He thought back to Xie Huai's attitude over the past few days and thought that Lu Yi was right. If he hadn't discovered something was wrong with Xie Huai in the water compartment, Xie Huai would probably have been able to keep it a secret for a long time.
-
When he arrived at the hospital, Xie Huai was arranged to have a full body check-up. The process of waiting for the results was very long. He sat in the ward for almost two hours before getting the results.
The doctor came in with the checkup sheet, and Zhao Li quickly stood up: "Doctor, what are the results?"
"It is possible to do so in his current situation. We have discussed it and the plan we have proposed is that he will attend classes during the day and come to the hospital for treatment at 4 pm. However, this can only be done for a month because he will have to undergo chemotherapy and a series of other treatments later. Therefore, it is not recommended to do this for a long time."
Hearing this, Xie Huai breathed a sigh of relief.
One month is just one month, it's better than nothing.
However, starting from tomorrow, Xie Huai will not be able to sleep next to Jiang Xu. He will have to stay in the hospital at night, and Jiang Xu will have to go to school and go home alone.
Small poor.
Xie Huai had finished the medicine he had taken before, so he took another box and rushed back to school.
It was already past noon, and the playground was full of people playing basketball, walking and chatting. The weather was a little cold today, so everyone was wearing warm clothes.
The temperature starts to drop after the National Day every year. It was still over 30 degrees during the National Day, but it dropped to over 10 degrees as soon as it was over, a direct drop.
When Xie Huai walked across the playground and returned to the classroom, he saw Jiang Xu still sitting in his seat doing his homework.
He walked over quietly, intending to scare Jiang Xu, but before he had taken a few steps, he was discovered by Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu saw Xie Huai and raised a subtle arc at the corner of his lips: "Are you back?"
"Well," Xie Huai didn't scare Jiang Xu, which was a pity. He sat back in his seat, leaned back on the chair, and nodded towards Jiang Xu, "Aren't you going to have lunch?"
"have eaten."
"Do you think I would believe it?" Xie Huai stared at Jiang Xu with a look that said, "Are you taking me for a fool?" Then he took out his phone and turned the screen to Jiang Xu. "It's only 12:18 now. You've already finished eating in 18 minutes after class?"
"Well, I eat fast." Jiang Xu lied without any guilt.
"Are you sure?" Xie Huai raised his eyebrows.
He tilted his head slightly, looked at the person sitting by the window on the other side, raised his chin and asked, "Xue Bai, your squad leader said he went to the cafeteria for lunch, did he go?"
Xue Bai raised his head with a puzzled look on his face, wondering why I didn't see it, but he still said, "No, the monitor has never gone out since get out of class. Which cafeteria did he go to for lunch?"
Jiang Xu: “…”
Xie Huai tapped Jiang Xu's desk with his fingertips, smiling and saying, "Let me ask you, monitor. Which cafeteria did you go to for lunch?"
Even though his lie was exposed on the spot, Jiang Xu just continued to do the questions silently.
Xie Huai was so angry that he laughed. He pulled Jiang Xu up with one hand. Jiang Xu did not expect Xie Huai to be so strong and was slightly surprised.
It's almost half past twelve. If we go to the cafeteria now, I'm afraid there will only be leftovers.
There were rice balls in the supermarket. Xie Huai took two for Jiang Xu, and then took a bottle of milk. These were all cold, so Xie Huai asked the clerk to help heat them up in the microwave.
There was a seat next to him, so Xie Huai pulled Jiang Xu over and sat down.
"Finish eating." Xie Huai said.
Jiang Xu: “…”
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and finally Jiang Xu gave in first, and then slowly began to eat.
This was not the first time that Xie Huai encountered Jiang Xu not eating lunch. If this continued, Jiang Xu would definitely get stomach problems.
Xie Huai said calmly: "Jiang Xu, remember, you have to eat three meals a day from now on, otherwise you will easily get stomach problems."
"I won't allow it, so you have to treat me well."
He knew he was worrying too much, but he had seen many reports that more than one million people die from stomach cancer every year worldwide, and one-third of all stomach cancer patients develop stomach cancer due to their eating habits.
He didn't want Jiang Xu to suffer from stomach problems.
Jiang Xu knew what Xie Huai was thinking. He hugged Xie Huai and agreed, "Okay, I promise you, I will eat well and won't get sick."
Xie Huai's eyes became red again. He turned his head and leaned on Jiang Xu's shoulder, wanting to stay like that for a while.
Jiang Xu put his hand on Xie Huai's head and gently rubbed his fluffy and smooth hair.
After leaning on Jiang Xu's shoulder for a while, Xie Huai suddenly realized that this was not Jiang Xu's home, but school.
He immediately sat up straight and looked around, fortunately there was no one there.
Jiang Xu smiled helplessly: "No one saw it."
Xie Huai looked down at the time and saw that class was about to start in fifteen minutes.
"Do you want to lean on me for a while longer?" Jiang Xu's voice was very low. Xie Huai would always blush when he used this teasing tone.
And he couldn't say no.
"want."
So Xie Huai leaned on Jiang Xu's shoulder and rested for another five minutes, until it was almost time for class, and then the two slowly walked back to the classroom.
When Lu Yi came to find Xie Huai to play ball this afternoon, Xie Huai did not refuse this time.
"Let's go to the basketball court." Xie Huai stood up.
Jiang Xu frowned: "You can't..."
Lu Yi interrupted in confusion: "Why not?"
"I don't play basketball," Xie Huai laughed, "Is it not okay for me to go and watch them play?"
"Brother Huai, you're not going to fight?" Hao Xuexi was also stunned.
"My foot isn't fully healed yet, just take a look." Xie Huai didn't really care.
Xie Huaixin said that the ankle had actually healed a long time ago, but what could not be cured was the bone cancer.
Since Xie Huai was going, Jiang Xu would definitely go as well. Not long after arriving at the basketball court, the surrounding spectator seats were filled with people, most of whom came to see Jiang Xu and Xie Huai.
Lu Yi was also shocked by this scene. When he played basketball with Hao Xuexi and others before, there were hardly any people in the stands. Sure enough, is this the disparity in the world? The difference is too big.
However, Xie Huai did not play, but Jiang Xu played while Xie Huai was looking forward to it.
This basketball game was quite intense, and we played against Class 4.
Every time Jiang Xu touched the ball, he would shoot it into the basket and receive applause from the crowd.
Xie Huai didn't look excited at all, and was very calm, with an expression that said, "It's none of my business, who cares?" But in fact, he was extremely excited inside.
See, this is my boyfriend.
Xie Huai couldn't help but said in his heart.
After the fight, everyone was tired, but Jiang Xu walked towards Xie Huai's position slowly, as if nothing had happened.
There was a bottle of lemonade next to him. Jiang Xu picked it up and took a sip without even looking at it. His protruding Adam's apple rolled up and down, making everyone who saw it blush.
"Jiang Xu, your water is here," Xie Huai suppressed his irritable emotions and handed another bottle of lemonade to him, "I drank the bottle in your hand."
Jiang Xu leaned down and smiled softly beside Xie Huai's ear: "We've already had a tongue kiss, why are you still concerned about this?"
Looking at Xie Huai's ears gradually turning red, Jiang Xu stood up contentedly and continued playing basketball.
The people sitting in the audience on the other side were shocked by Jiang Xu's action just now. Several girls held their hands together, and even Xie Huai could see the auntie smiles on their faces clearly.
But Xie Huai didn't understand what auntie's smile meant. He looked indifferent and continued to watch Jiang Xu and the others play basketball.
During evening self-study, there were not many people in the class because there was a sports meet at the end of the month. Excluding the weekend, there were only about ten days left. Many classmates were called to the playground for training, so there were only a few people in the classroom.
The teacher was unwilling to teach such a small group of people, so he just let them study on their own.
Xie Huai was even more straightforward. He slept through two classes.
If Jiang Xu hadn't woken him up, Xie Huai felt that he could sleep until tomorrow morning.
As soon as they got home, little Huaihuai started to hang around the two of them. He was probably hungry. Little Huaihuai was also bigger than when he was first brought home.
Xie Huai held his son in his arms and caressed him, while Jiang Xu went to take a shower first.
"Xiao Huaihuai, I, your father, may rarely see you from now on. You have to listen to your other father, understand?" Xie Huai said to Xiao Huaihuai earnestly, as if he was explaining something, "You have to be good and grow up happily, so that I, your father, will be relieved about you."
As Xie Huai spoke, his nose began to feel sore.
Tonight might be the last time that Xie Huai sleeps next to Jiang Xu. Every time he thinks of these so-called "last times", Xie Huai can't help feeling sad.
After Jiang Xu came out of the bathroom, Xie Huai went up to him and hugged him.
"Jiang Xu, we can't go to school and go home together starting tomorrow," Xie Huai was particularly reluctant to let Jiang Xu go, but he had no choice, "I can come to school every day this month, but I have to go back to the hospital in the afternoon. After this month, I have to stay in the hospital every day."
Jiang Xu's fingers gradually tightened. He had known that this day would come. This was also the only way to allow Xie Huai to live longer.
He pursed his lips for a while, then placed a kiss on Xie Huai's ear and whispered, "It's okay, I can go to the hospital to accompany you."
"Yeah." Xie Huai closed his eyes and smiled.
"Jiang Xu, I want to kiss you." Xie Huai raised his head slightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xu suddenly kissed him, with heavy breathing, hitting Xie Huai's face.
Without knowing when, Xie Huai had fallen asleep on the bed. Jiang Xu was afraid that he would use too much force with his hands and hurt Xie Huai's bones, so he had to support himself with his hands on both sides and leaned over to kiss him.
The sound of lips and tongues entangled filled Xie Huai's brain. He felt like he was about to drown in Jiang Xu's gentle kiss.
Xie Huai's chest was heaving violently due to the long kiss, as he couldn't breathe smoothly. Then he felt something and suddenly slowed down his breathing, and his face and neck turned red instantly.
Jiang Xu was also a little embarrassed. A kiss turned out to be...
"I'm going to wash my face." After saying that, Jiang Xu stood up and walked into the bathroom.
Hearing the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, Xie Huai turned his back with a red face.
It’s no wonder Jiang Xu reacted. Xie Huai himself had some reaction, but Jiang Xu didn’t seem to notice.
Shit, Xie Huai couldn’t help but curse in his heart.
Xie Huai hasn't taken a shower tonight, and Jiang Xu has been in the bathroom for half an hour. It's easy to tell what Jiang Xu is doing in there.
As soon as Jiang Xu came out, Xie Huai picked up his pajamas and went straight into the bathroom.
There was only a faint scent of grass and wood in the bathroom, a smell that Xie Huai was very familiar with.
When Xie Huai went out, he saw Jiang Xu sitting on the bed and looking at his phone. He walked over and asked, "What are you looking at? Why are you so engrossed?"
"Your circle of friends." Jiang Xu turned the screen around to show Xie Huai, looking like a well-behaved husband whose phone was checked by his wife.
"..." Xie Huai coughed lightly and stuttered, "Well, well, there's nothing interesting in my circle of friends."
There is really nothing good to see. Xie Huai rarely posts on WeChat Moments, and the most recent one was on the day he announced that Xiao Huaihuai was his son.
Jiang Xu flipped through it many times, but still felt it was not enough and wanted to read it again.
"What is this painting?" Jiang Xu's eyes stayed on the background picture of Xie Huai's circle of friends.
Xie Huai leaned over to take a look and explained, "This is Daocheng. When we were visiting the market before, the boss said that if I liked it, I could take a picture of it as a souvenir, so I took it."
"Daocheng?" Jiang Xu had heard of this place, but was not very familiar with it.
"Jiang Xu, I want to go to Daocheng Yading with you." Xie Huai looked at him with bright eyes.
Jiang Xu resisted the urge to kiss Xie Huai and said in a low, hoarse voice, "What are you going to do?"
Xie Huai smiled and nodded: "Take you to elope."
Jiang Xu closed his eyes and said, "Xie Huai, you asked for this."
Question: What are the consequences of teasing your boyfriend before going to bed
Xie Huai replied that he would faint if he was kissed.
-
The next day, when leaving, Xie Huai poured some food into little Huaihuai's bowl, then touched its head, and followed Jiang Xu to school.
After walking out of the community, Xie Huai stopped, looked back at the gate of the community for a while, then turned around and left after a few seconds.
I probably won’t have time to come back in the future, so I really can’t bear to leave.
Xie Huai had to go to the hospital at four o'clock in the afternoon, so he didn't have to attend the last self-study class in the afternoon.
After Lu Yi knew that Xie Huai would ask for leave every afternoon, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Huai, what are you going to do every afternoon when you ask for leave?"
"Nothing," Xie Huai said calmly, "My mom signed me up for the TOEFL, so I have to go to class every day."
"Oh, that's how it is." Lu Yi suddenly understood.
Xie Huai tidied up his desk, stood up, patted Lu Yi on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go. See you tomorrow."
He paused for a moment, bent down and smiled at Jiang Xu: "Let's go, classmate."
Jiang Xu wanted to hold Xie Huai's hand, but in the end he didn't move. He half lowered his eyes and said, "Well... OK."
The driver's car was parked at the school gate. When he saw Xie Huai coming out, he immediately opened the door and let Xie Huai get in.
It wasn't until the car drove into the hospital that Xie Huai came to his senses.
Zhao Li was standing at the entrance of the hospital. When she saw Xie Huai coming, she quickly ran up and hugged Xie Huai: "Huai Huai."
"Mom." Xie Huai called her.
After entering, the doctor examined Xie Huai as usual. Finally, Xie Huai looked at the two infusion needles inserted into his hands.
The analgesic effect of this is obviously much better than that of ibuprofen sustained-release capsules.
Then he slept until night, but his sleep was very light. He would be woken up by any noise, even if someone walked outside the ward. Without Jiang Xu, he could not sleep well at all.
He was lying on the bed with his eyes open when his cell phone on the cabinet next to him suddenly vibrated.
Xie Huai opened it and saw that it was sent to him by Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xuxu: Is there anything you want to eat
Xie Huaihuai: Will you do it for me
Jiang Xuxu: Yeah.
Xie Huai thought about it and realized that he couldn't eat fried, greasy and spicy food now. When he thought of this, Xie Huai suddenly felt that he had lost a lot of happiness.
He typed back—
Xie Huaihuai: As long as it’s light, I’m not picky.
Jiang Xuxu: Okay, I understand.
Xie Huaihuai: Thank you, my boyfriend QVQ.
Xie Huai looked at his phone for a long time. Since Ms. Zhao Li was not in the ward, he called Jiang Xu directly.
Jiang Xu answered almost immediately.
"How are you doing?"
Jiang Xu's voice came over, he seemed to be outside, Xie Huai heard the sound of the wind.
He found that he missed Jiang Xu so much even though he hadn't seen him or heard his voice for just a few hours.
"I'm fine, don't worry, I just... missed you."
Xie Huai turned his head and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window on his right. In the distance, the LED signs on the tall buildings were playing various advertisements in rotation. They were surrounded by colorful neon lights. Looking up, he could see the moon and stars in the hazy night sky, which made people want to hide this beautiful night scene in their pockets.
Jiang Xu didn't say anything, and Xie Huai thought he had hung up the phone. He picked up the phone and found that he hadn't hung up, but there was no sound from the other end.
The next second, his ward was pushed open.
Xie Huai thought it was Ms. Zhao Li who came back, so he looked towards the door.
stunned.
"Jiang Xu?"
"Yeah, I'm here."
Xie Huai didn't tell me which ward I was in. I knew it must be Ms. Zhao Li who told Jiang Xu.
But he was still very surprised and delighted.
At night, Jiang Xu still held Xie Huai in his arms to sleep. Smelling Jiang Xu's scent, Xie Huai was finally able to fall asleep soundly.
After that, Jiang Xu would come to the hospital to accompany Xie Huai every night, and go to school with Xie Huai during the day. The classmates in the class even thought it was nothing to see them holding hands, as they had long been accustomed to the actions of this "old couple" and were not surprised.
For a month in a row, Xie Huai took medicine every day, either taking pills or getting intravenous drips. Although the pain would be relieved quickly, once it came back, the pain would be more severe than the last time.
Until the day before the sports meet.
Xie Huai looked at Ms. Zhao Li and said slowly, "Mom, I want to finish this 3,000-meter run."
Zhao Li obviously didn't want Xie Huai to run. She was very worried about Xie Huai: "Huai Huai, you can't run so vigorously. You still have acute heart failure, do you know that?"
"Mom, after the sports meet, it's the end of the semester, and I can't go to school anymore. I haven't had time to say goodbye to them properly." Xie Huai's voice was choked up as he spoke, and he lowered his eyes, "Mom, I beg you."
The next day Xie Huai still went to school.
He bought a whole bag of lollipops for Lu Yi. When Lu Yi saw it, his eyes lit up and he was very touched: "Fuck, Brother Huai, you bought this for me?"
"I promised to give it to you on the first day of school." Xie Huai put his hand on Lu Yi's shoulder and said.
At that time, Lu Yi said that he hoped he could get rid of Jiang Xu's clutches of truancy soon, and he said that if he did, he would give Lu Yi a lollipop. Now that Jiang Xu has become his boyfriend, he will definitely not catch him truancy anymore, so he can be considered to have gotten rid of it.
But one stick is too little, so give me a whole pack.
It wasn't just Lu Yi. Xie Huai bought things for all the students in the class, including teachers of all subjects, leaving no one out.
-
After the morning self-study get out of class, the opening ceremony of the autumn sports meeting officially began.
First, the principal gave a speech at the opening ceremony of the autumn sports meeting, and then it was the vice-principal's turn. His speech lasted for an hour, and many people almost died on the spot.
There are a total of forty-eight classes in the first and second year of high school. Four classes will be selected from each grade to perform, and the decision is made by drawing lots. This time, Xie Huai's class was drawn.
There were several girls who went up to perform. Whether they were dancing Korean dance or jazz dance, Xie Huai couldn't quite tell. But after they finished their performance, Xie Huai still applauded them vigorously, and then was pulled back by Jiang Xu.
After the performance, the sports meeting officially began.
Jiang Xu sat next to Xie Huai. He knew that Xie Huai would compete today, but it was 3,000 meters after all. It might not have been a big deal for Xie Huai in the past, but it was still a bit difficult for him now.
Xie Huai not only has bone cancer, but also acute heart failure...
Jiang Xu just found out about it yesterday. When he found out, he was heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do.
It was Xie Huai's turn. Jiang Xu helped Xie Huai change his clothes. He hugged Xie Huai tightly and whispered in his ear, "Stop if you can't stand it. Don't force yourself. Honey, you have to promise me."
"Okay, I promise."
But I promised to get you first place, and I will definitely do it.
Xie Huai stood at the starting line, and as soon as the gun sounded, he rushed out.
Lu Yi stood up and yelled at Xie Huai: "Xie Huai! Come on!!!"
All the students in the class stood up and cheers rang out one after another.
Hao Xuexi also shouted: "Xie Huai! You are the most handsome boy in the whole school!!"
The students around looked at Hao Xuexi and were silent for a moment: "..."
Forget it, ignore him and continue to cheer for Xie Huai.
In the first lap, Xie Huai overtook the second place by half a lap, and in the second lap, he overtook the second place by a full lap.
Jiang Xu's heart was in his throat. The speed was too fast. Xie Huai's legs would definitely not be able to bear it.
When running in the last few laps, it can be clearly felt that Xie Huai's speed is decreasing.
The second place was half a lap behind him. Everyone present held their breath, as there was still one last lap.
Jiang Xu walked off the stage and stood at the finish line. Xie Huai saw him from afar. He suddenly accelerated and ran forward against the wind. The wind blew past his eyes, and finally he ran into Jiang Xu's arms.
Xie Huai's chest heaved violently, and he thought, screw your heart failure and bone cancer, I'm still first in the 3,000 meters!
A few seconds later the whole audience burst into loud cheers.
Three thousand meters!!! It took ten minutes and fifty-two seconds, breaking the school's three thousand meter long-distance running record!
Lu Yi: "Fuck, Brother Huai is awesome!!"
The other students in class one all widened their eyes. They actually won: "WTF!!!"
