Xie Huai didn't know what language this was, but it was obviously not English.

"What does this mean?" Xie Huai asked.

Jiang Xu's eyes stayed on the piano keys for a long while before he said, "It's meaningless."

Of course Xie Huai didn't believe it and just thought that Jiang Xu didn't want to tell him.

Just don’t say it.

"Are you still listening?" Jiang Xu asked.

Anyway, he had nothing to do, and watching Jiang Xu play the piano was a pleasure, so he nodded and said he wanted to listen more.

He listened to Jiang Xu playing for a while. After the song was over, Jiang Xu looked at Xie Huai. It was only two minutes before Xie Huai fell asleep.

Jiang Xu was a little helpless, but he still quietly carried Xie Huai into his room, covered him with a quilt, then turned around, closed the bedroom door and walked out.

It was still early and Xie Huai could probably sleep for two hours, so Jiang Xu went to the study to do his papers. At this moment, his cell phone rang.

Jiang Xu ignored it. It rang a few more times a few seconds later. Jiang Xu then picked up the phone beside him and opened WeChat.

It's their class group.

Someone suggested that we have a meal together during the Mid-Autumn Festival. After all, we have been in the same class for more than a year, but have never gone out to eat together.

Lu Yi: I’m fine. Saturday and Sunday are fine. But not on Monday. I have to go back to my hometown.

Xiong Qiqi: This is a good suggestion. I’m suddenly looking forward to it!

Qi Nian: So should it be on Saturday or some day of the week

Hao Xuexi: It’s probably Saturday or Saturday. Sunday is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I guess many people will not be at home.

A bunch of people below agreed.

Homeroom teacher—Teacher Yao: Since you all want to get together so much, I will pay for you this time.

Lu Yi: Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!!! Sister Yao, you are my God!!!

Hao Xuexi: Come on, let’s say it together, thank you Sister Yao!!!

Then there were a bunch of messages below: Thank you Sister Yao!!!

The messages in the group seemed to explode, ringing one after another, making Jiang Xu's head hurt.

Homeroom teacher—Teacher Yao: Okay, okay, then you choose for yourselves and tell me when you’ve made your choice.

Lu Yi: OK, OK, who wants to go? Come on, let's say our names, otherwise it will be hard to reserve a seat.

After the names were signed up, except for a dozen or so people who really couldn't go, everyone else had signed up, leaving only Jiang Xu and Xie Huai.

Lu Yi: @Xie Huai @Jiang Xu, hello brothers, are you going

Xie Huai: Of course.

Jiang Xu, who was considering whether to go or not, immediately replied after seeing Xie Huai's message.

Jiang Xu: Go.

Lu Yi: OK.

After sending the message, Jiang Xu turned off his phone and put it aside, then walked out of the study.

Just as Jiang Xu was about to knock on the bedroom door, Xie Huai opened it and he and Jiang Xu looked at each other in surprise.

Jiang Xu looked at Xie Huai who obviously didn't sleep well, and asked, "Why are you awake?"

"The messages in the group kept ringing, and I was woken up." Xie Huai yawned, and tears came out. He looked a little pitiful. He looked back at Jiang Xu's bed, a little surprised, "You carried me to the bed?"

Jiang Xu looked at Xie Huai in silence. Xie Huai also felt that he was a bit stupid. If it wasn't Jiang Xu who held him, could it be that he sleepwalked into someone else's bed

"How did you hold her?" Xie Huai asked, "It wasn't a princess hug?"

Xie Huai looked a little shocked.

Jiang Xu: “Yeah.”

"You still hum?" Xie Huai banged on the bedroom door a few times, "This is my first time being carried like a princess!"

Jiang Xu raised his eyebrows. Is this what they call "the one who is close to the water gets the moon first"

"But thanks anyway." After knocking on the door, Xie Huai returned to his usual expression, his tone childish and fierce.

"But you can't tell others that you carried me like a princess, otherwise where would I put my handsome face?"

Jiang Xu just thought Xie Huai was cute.

"Well, I won't tell you."

Xie Huai also asked Jiang Xu to swear, and Xie Huai did not believe it until Jiang Xu finished swearing.

At around four o'clock, Xie Huai received a call from Ms. Zhao Li, asking her to go to a party with them.

He said hello to Jiang Xu and left.

After walking out of the elevator, Xie Huai vaguely remembered something. Jiang Xu told him that the route map he sent out in the afternoon was for walking the dog. Where was the dog? Where did the dog go? !

He didn't see any dog in Jiang Xu's house.

Xie Huai wondered, when did Jiang Xu become so scheming

But it shouldn’t be necessary, just to be able to pick him up

Unable to figure out why, Xie Huai simply stopped thinking about it.

We finally made it to Friday and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. There is a Mid-Autumn Festival Gala tonight and everyone is quite excited.

Jiang Xu was the class monitor, so Yao Wenjing asked Jiang Xu to arrange for a few male classmates to go out and buy some food after school. Jiang Xu called three people, and there were four people in total including him. When they came back, everyone was carrying two large bags.

It’s a party, so it must have food, so they bought a lot and acted as if they didn’t need any money. Jiang Xu couldn’t stop them.

Jiang Xu simply turned around and went to the candy section and picked up a bag of blue and white gummy candies in the shape of dolphins.

Yao Wenjing asked them to take the food to the music room, and when leaving, Jiang Xu stuffed a bag of food into Xie Huai's hands.

Xie Huai looked down and saw a pack of Dolphin Gummy Candies. He loved eating these when he was in middle school, but after entering high school he basically never went to large supermarkets, and this kind of gummy candies were only available in large supermarkets, so he hadn't eaten them for a long time.

Xie Huai suddenly laughed, although he didn't know if it was a coincidence.

He took out his cell phone and sent a message to Jiang Xu.

Xie Huai: Thank you for the candy.

Jiang Xu was probably putting something away, and only replied to Xie Huai after a while.

Jiang Xu: No need to thank me.

Xie Huai: Then... Thank you Tang

Jiang Xu: …Not really.

Xie Huai was holding the candy Jiang Xu bought for him, and he laughed out loud when he saw the news. Lu Yi leaned out of his head, looking confused: "Brother, what's so worthy of your happiness?"

Xie Huai stopped and laughed so hard that he almost couldn't breathe: "It's okay, it's okay."

In the evening, the whole class went to the music room, which was much larger than the classroom, so it was more convenient.

After everyone was seated, Yao Wenjing first said some words of blessing and then asked them to start their performances.

The first group was singing. The whole group sang together. Some students were tone-deaf, but they were very confident. They sang very loudly and successfully led the students who were singing in tune out of tune.

The whole class was laughing the whole time.

There were more girls in the second group. After some discussion, they arranged several female classmates to dance Korean dance, which was explosive and neat, and won cheers.

The third group performed a skit, and the most classic line in the skit was, "The egg-laying rooster, the fighter among roosters."

Xie Huai laughed so hard that he almost fell off his chair, but Jiang Xu helped him up.

He supported his waist.

Xie Huai suddenly felt very hot, even though the air conditioner was on.

The next program is Jiang Xu's piano solo.

Xie Huai raised his eyes and saw Jiang Xu already sitting in front of the piano, his fingers on the keys, his head slightly lowered. The light shone on Jiang Xu's body, making his already delicate and sharp facial features even more conspicuous at this moment. He looked exactly the same as Xie Huai saw him at Jiang Xu's house that day.

All the students in the class held their breath. They had never seen Jiang Xu like this before.

Jiang Xu's fingers began to press slowly, and Xie Huai recognized that this was the song whose name Jiang Xu had not told him.

When the whole class burst into applause, Xie Huai came back to his senses and started clapping along, but his thoughts were not here.

For some reason, he didn't want Jiang Xu to play this song for others.

A classmate asked: "Monitor, what is the name of the song you played? It's so nice!"

Jiang Xu thought back to the day when Xie Huai asked him what the song was called.

Xie Huai didn't understand, and Jiang Xu didn't tell him.

He actually didn't plan to play this song at first, but changed his mind after he went up.

"Je t'aime." Jiang Xu turned his head to look at Xie Huai and said the name of the song he composed himself.

His tone was a little cold, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Xie Huai was gentle and a little affectionate.

He said this while looking at Xie Huai, as if he was saying to Xie Huai in front of the whole class: "I love you".

Xiong Qiqi suddenly said, "Fuck, this song is called 'I Love You'?!"
