This year, the freshmen of the provincial university were lucky. Almost two-thirds of the half-month military training was raining.
On September 14th, the military training was nearing its end. It started raining early in the morning. It was only after two hours of training that the sound of the rain hitting the ceiling of the stands was already loud.
Forced to be helpless, the company went to the stands and sat.
The School of Economics and Management was assigned to the far left of the stand. The teams of boys and girls separated from each other and sang military songs.
Tao Jun sat on the outermost side, with a line of water droplets flowing down from the edge of the ceiling beside him, splashing extremely fine water on the ground.
He watched for a while, and couldn't help but want to pick up the water. He just reached out his hand, and a person came from behind, and his leg just hit his hand.
"Sorry sorry!" the man said.
Tao Jun looked up and saw that it was a classmate named Xia Chaoyang.
Xia Chaoyang is handsome and cheerful, and his work is neither dull nor too out of touch, so he is very popular in the class.
"It's okay." Tao Jun smiled lightly.
The eyes of the two met, Xia Chaoyang saw his expression clearly, and suddenly froze for some reason.
A drop of water fell from the top of his head, Xia Chaoyang blinked reflexively, and the drop of water landed just under his eyelids.
Like he suddenly shed a tear.
Tao Jun smiled again and lowered his eyes. Xia Chaoyang hurriedly turned his eyes away, smeared his face, and walked down the steps.
After a while, Tao Jun looked away leisurely, watching his back disappear on the edge of the court.
"Tao Jun, are you coming to play basketball after military training?" Someone poked him in the back.
"Come on." Tao Jun said.
In the evening, a group of boys gathered on the basketball court. Xia Chaoyang was also there. Some girls came to watch and said with a smile, "Aren't you tired? Military training in the daytime and military training in the evening, after the military training you still play basketball?"
"Please, ten □□ years old! Energy can't be squandered!" A boy responded with a smile.
Laughing for a while, a group of young men went on the field to squander their energy. When they ended, they were all soaked in sweat. A girl in the class came to distribute it with water. .
The girl bowed her head shyly and said, "I'm going to buy now, do you want to go with me?"
Having said that, Xia Chaoyang, who happened to be standing next to him, coughed lightly, and suddenly handed over the water in his hand: "Tao Jun, I brought you a water glass."
Tao Jun took it and smiled at the girl: "Thank you."
When the girl finished speaking and walked away, he turned to look at Xia Chaoyang, Xia Chaoyang looked calm, and then smiled at him.
Someone came over to ride on Tao Jun's back: "Mom Tao Jun, looking at you being gentle and elegant, can you stop being so violent? Hit me with a three-pointed bang, it'll make my heart thump—"
The crowd laughed.
"It's okay." Tao Jun replied with a smile.
Thinking that it's time to turn off the lights if we don't go back, everyone went back to the bedroom together. On the way, Tao Jun's roommate complained: "It's so annoying. The faucet in our bedroom bathroom is broken, and there is no cold water."
"Go to our dormitory to wash." Someone responded immediately.
Everyone chatted, Xia Chaoyang asked Tao Jun: "Are you going to our dormitory to wash?"
Tao Jun nodded: "Okay, thank you."
Even after taking a bath in Xia Chaoyang's dormitory, the two sides were still not too familiar with each other.
Tao Jun seems to be like everyone, and always maintains a relationship that is neither salty nor indifferent. If you get together, you can joke and laugh, but it doesn't matter if you don't get together.
In a blink of an eye, the military training was over, and the freshmen began to take classes. There was a compulsory course of 4 credits, which was divided into groups after class. Just after class, Tao Jun's roommate dragged Xia Chaoyang with one hand and Tao Jun with the other: "We are three of us, three of us are in a group. team!"
The two people in a row in the middle looked at each other and nodded.
The course required on-site research, and the three finally discussed it and decided to go to Linshi the day before the National Day. Unexpectedly, the night before the departure, Tao Jun's roommate suddenly said that he had to go home early, and the matter fell on Xia Chaoyang and Tao Jun.
Departing early the next morning, sitting on the bus, the car was driving at high speed, Tao Jun sat by the window and closed his eyes to rest. When he was about to fall asleep, someone stuck something cold in his ear.
He half-squinted his eyes, turned his head, and saw that Xia Chaoyang had one earphone plugged into his ear, and the other was on his side.
In the headphones is a song "Spiritual".
"Sunrise." Xia Chaoyang said to him with a smile.
Tao Jun was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look out the window, the horizon in the east was just red, and after watching for a while, he laughed.
"Are you going home on National Day?" Xia Chaoyang asked when he returned to the hotel after finishing his work in the evening.
Tao Junying: "I want to go back, my brother is at home alone."
Xia Chaoyang smiled: "You still have a younger brother? I am the only one in my family."
The smile on Tao Jun's face suddenly became real. It wasn't the usual light and distant one, but it was a little proud. The whole person looked alive in an instant.
He said: "A little rascal with a very strange temper, called Tao Ling. He is only in the second year of junior high school. He is usually in school, but it is not possible for me to be away from home for such a long vacation. Even if I don't go back tomorrow, I have to go back the day after tomorrow."
"Your parents are at home, what are you worried about?" Xia Chaoyang said casually.
Tao Jun lowered his head to straighten his pajamas and replied calmly, "I don't have parents."
Xia Chaoyang was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said, "I'm sorry."
Tao Jun squinted and smiled: "It doesn't matter."
They slept in their own beds at night. Xia Chaoyang usually couldn't see it. In fact, sometimes he talked a lot. He asked Tao Jun a question, and he gradually chatted until midnight.
The last sentence Tao Jun heard before he went to sleep was: "I want to change my major to study history in the future."
"Okay." Tao Jun replied in a daze.
After returning to school after the National Day, Xia Chaoyang brought food for all the boys in the class, and also prepared a box for Tao Jun: "Try it, my mother's fried beef is delicious, it was brought back from Tibet. The meat doesn't taste like the outside."
When he said this, the two of them were in the stairwell on the top floor of the dormitory building. Tao Jun smiled: "What? Can you open a small stove for me?"
Xia Chaoyang said "um": "After you finish eating, it will be gone when you go back to the dormitory next time."
Tao Jun was speechless for a while, looked at the box full of beef in front of him, and finally spit out a sentence: "Am I a pig?"
Xia Chaoyang laughed when he heard the words, and without thinking about it, he directly pinched his face with his hands.
As soon as this action came out, the two fell silent at the same time.
Tao Jun raised his eyes to look at him, Xia Chaoyang rolled his Adam's apple uncomfortably, released his hand, and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't finish it, we both eat together."
Tao Jun's eyes curved into crescent moons, the corners of his mouth pursed, and he joked, "You said earlier that you wanted to eat."
Xia Chaoyang stared at him for a while, and was a little surprised, not only surprised by what he said, but also by his vivid expression.
"How to eat with only a pair of chopsticks?" Tao Jun lowered his head.
Xia Chaoyang wanted to say "you feed me", but he didn't dare to say it.
Tao Jun sighed, picked up a piece of meat, and said jokingly, "For the sake of the meat you brought me, the eldest young master will come and I will feed you."
The two of them ate most of the box of beef with a pair of chopsticks, and finally left the stairwell. The box of chopsticks was brought back to the bedroom by Xia Chaoyang.
A long time later, when Tao Jun asked about the half box of meat, Xia Chaoyang replied: "You don't want to let others touch the things you touched. I secretly ate them the next day."
Tao Jun laughed: "Are you stupid?"
Xia Chaoyang put his hand in his arms and warmed it: "I'm stupid and you don't want me?"
"You're not stupid," Tao Jun said with a smile, "I am the most stupid."
Xia Chaoyang smiled, bowed his head and kissed him, Tao Jun closed his eyes, stroked his hand from his chest, and touched his side carotid artery, so powerful.
After returning to the National Day, Tao Jun and Xia Chaoyang got closer and closer, but this kind of closeness could only stop on the line of not talking about private affairs. They were closer to Tao Jun than others, but they were separated from the real Tao Jun. Frosted glass.
The days went by in such a calm way. After half the semester of freshman year, the school's hibiscus gradually bloomed and changed color. It was a very elegant autumn.
One day when we went to the library together, Xia Chaoyang suddenly said, "I think you are like autumn."
"Huh?" Tao Jun responded casually.
Xia Chaoyang: "I don't know, I can't tell, but I like autumn. I think you are very similar to autumn."
Tao Jun turned his head to look at him for a while, Xia Chaoyang didn't seem to notice anything wrong with what he said, just smiled at him as usual.
After a long while, Tao Jun lowered his eyes, and when he looked away again, he saw a tree with hibiscus blooming and smiled.
It was his nineteenth birthday. The solar and lunar calendars coincided on the same day. The gentle, cheerful and good-looking big boy said he looked like autumn.
In the second semester of freshman, in the late spring and early summer, the cherry blossoms in the school are all gone, and the branches and leaves are lush.
Tao Jun and his roommates went out to school for dinner. On the way, they encountered a woman chasing a man, shouting "thief".
When no one around him could react, the man passed by, the loudspeaker on the street was loud, Tao Jun's eyes were quick and he grabbed the man's arm violently.
During the pulling, the man took out a knife from his pocket and slashed at Tao Jun, but Tao Jun couldn't dodge, and his arm suddenly saw blood.
Then he gritted his teeth and kicked the man's knife with one kick, and the people around him swarmed up and restrained him.
Before eating, the person went directly to the emergency room of the school hospital.
Just after the wound was bandaged, the roommate went to help pay the money. Tao Jun was sitting in a chair outside the clinic when a person suddenly rushed in in a hurry.
Before he opened his mouth and shouted, Xia Chaoyang was already kneeling in front of him with red eyes, hugging him, his whole body was shaking.
Fortunately, it was too late and no one was around, otherwise the scene would be weird.
Tao Jun was held too tightly, stunned for a while, and then patted Xia Chaoyang's back: "What are you doing? This posture makes me want to die soon."
Xia Chaoyang then let him go, checked his whole body, saw that only his arm had been slightly bandaged, and heaved a sigh of relief.
The roommate who paid the money finally came back, saw Xia Chaoyang, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you, Chaoyang?"
Tao Jun raised his eyebrows inadvertently, and heard him say calmly, "trachoma."
With a puff, Tao Jun laughed, and then he laughed louder and louder, until Xia Chaoyang could hardly sit still, his roommate stood beside him and scratched his head.
Walking together at night and walking to a secluded place with no lights by the lake, Xia Chaoyang grabbed Tao Jun and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Tao Jun."
"Huh?" Tao Jun replied.
Xia Chaoyang took a few deep breaths and said, "I..."
After a long time without writing, Tao Jun said, "You?"
"I," Xia Chaoyang gritted his teeth for a moment, then finally gathered up his courage and said, "I like you."
As soon as the words came out, he immediately tensed up, and even held his breath. After waiting for a while, Tao Jun didn't respond at all, just stood quietly in front of him.
"Tao Jun," Xia Chaoyang became anxious, "don't take me for a pervert, I..."
"I know." Tao Jun interrupted him.
Xia Chaoyang was stunned: "You know?"
Tao Jun smiled: "I know."
Xia Chaoyang couldn't react: "What do you know?"
Tao Jun said, "Get closer to me."
Xia Chaoyang took a half step forward and got closer to him.
Tao Jun leaned his head up, put his lips against his ear, and said very softly, "I know everything."
Before Xia Chaoyang could react, he had turned his face to the side, and his lips touched the corner of Xia Chaoyang's mouth.
"Fool." Tao Jun stepped back with a smile, moved some distance, and looked at Xia Chaoyang who was stunned in the night.
Xia Chaoyang spoke with a nasal voice: "Tao Jun..."
Tao Jun was still laughing: "I was thinking just now, when will you come to kiss me, who knows when you wait for a long time to talk to yourself there."
Xia Chaoyang also laughed. After Kankan stopped, he said a little embarrassedly, "I'm afraid you will ignore me."
"Are you still afraid now?" Tao Jun tilted his head to look at him.
Xia Chaoyang put an arm around his waist and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't be afraid." Immediately, she covered Tao Jun's two thin lips with his own warmth and trembling.
Tao Jun is a few months younger than Xia Chaoyang. Xia Chaoyang has already had summer vacation on his twentieth birthday, and the weather is just hot.
This day, Tao Jun got up early, sent Tao Ling to the interest class first, told him to lock the doors and windows at night, and then took the car to Huai City, where Xia Chaoyang was located.
He didn't tell Xia Chaoyang before he came. When he received him, Xia Chaoyang was ecstatic. When he arrived at the hotel, he immediately rushed over to hug him, and excitedly lifted him up and circled around, causing Tao Jun to kick him a few times. .
The two walked a lot of streets and alleys together, Xia Chaoyang took Tao Jun to the alleys of the old town and bought rose cakes that he liked when he was a child.
Back at the hotel in the evening, Tao Jun asked with a smile, "Will I be scolded by my mother if I don't go home?"
"I'm twenty years old, older than you." Xia Chaoyang pinched his chin, "and they're not at home."
"My name is brother." Xia Chaoyang said solemnly.
Tao Jun hooked the corners of his mouth: "No."
No matter how hard Xia Chaoyang is, Tao Jun still refuses to call him brother.
Xia Chaoyang has always been unable to do anything about him, so he didn't say anything, just caressed his face with the back of his hand and asked, "Why don't you get tan?"
Tao Jun smiled: "You don't like it?"
Xia Chaoyang approached him little by little and whispered, "I like it, I like it so much that I want to eat you."
After a fuss, Tao Jun went to take a shower first, and when he came out, Xia Chaoyang was answering the phone and said to the other end, "You two are so annoying, so let's just break up."
Tao Jun wiped his hair and waited for him to hang up before asking, "What?"
"My roommate, who broke up with his girlfriend, asked me every time, three times a month!" Xia Chaoyang was angry.
After listening to the words, Tao Jun was silent for a long time, and suddenly shouted: "Brother."
Xia Chaoyang was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and opened his arms to him: "Don't you scream?"
Tao Jun raised his chin: "It's your birthday today. Anyway, I didn't bring a present. This is a birthday present."
Xia Chaoyang pulled the person over and hugged him, rubbing his face in his arms: "No. Unless you kiss me, the kind that doesn't stop for ten minutes."
After laughing for a while, Tao Jun said, "Let me tell you something."
Xia Chaoyang listened to his tone of caution, took a joking gesture, and looked up at him: "Well, you say."
Tao Jun: "You said just now that your roommate often breaks up with his girlfriend?"
"Yes." Xia Chaoyang said.
Tao Jun sat on the bed with him, held his face, and said, "Brother, listen carefully, I'm with you, whether it's a conflict, a quarrel, or even a fight, it doesn't matter, but don't tell me. separate."
Xia Chaoyang frowned slightly, showing that he was listening to him seriously.
"If you say goodbye to me, I will never say no, but you only have one chance. If you do say goodbye, there is no such thing as starting over with me." Tao Jun stroked his lips with his index finger and whispered. , "You know I do what I say."
The voice fell, the room was silent for a while, Xia Chaoyang nodded: "Okay."
Tao Jun smiled, knelt on the bed and leaned over to kiss Xia Chaoyang, the only man he liked in his life, and the wonderful love he had when he was nineteen.
The surface is careless, but it uses all the strength.
Xia Chaoyang's hands were so steady, holding his back firmly, all the caresses carried sparks, and finally turned his whole body into a fire, burning from the inside out.
It was a sunny day when I woke up the next day. Tao Jun stood by the window and opened the curtains, seeing a line of orange red in the distance.
He curled the corners of his mouth, remembering their first trip together, which was also a precursor to such a bright sunrise, with "Spiritual" playing in his headphones.
"Little Jun." Xia Chaoyang called to him from behind.
Tao Jun turned back and saw that man opening his arms at him, his eyes full of young and vigorous love.
"Brother." Tao Jun walked towards the embrace and said with a smile, "Good morning."
