Jiang Zhong was taken aback by her words: "Uh..."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything malicious." Yan Xiaoxing apologized immediately, "I just saw you guys have been together today, and just now... I couldn't help asking, if I offended you, I'm sorry."
"It's okay." Jiang Zhong straightened his body, didn't answer Yan Xiaoxing's question, but raised his chin to signal the barbecue on the table, "You can't eat these baked ones, there are unroasted ones over there, you can do it yourself. "
"Okay, okay." Yan Xiaoxing tasted the 'answer' by himself, and was incoherent with excitement, "Oh no, no, you guys eat, I'll go first."
"Okay, go slowly." Jiang Zhong said politely.
After Yan Xiaoxing waved his hand, he walked in the direction of the little sister, and even jumped a little while walking.
Jiang Zhong: "..."
Xi Qin: "..."
The two looked at each other, and after a few seconds, both looked away uncomfortably.
"Cough," Jiang Zhong rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "I didn't come here to confess my love."
Xi Qin chuckled, put a piece of freshly roasted meat into Jiang Zhong's bowl, and said, "Who would confess his love the first day we met?"
"Some people fall in love at first sight." Jiang Zhong said.
"Will you?" Xi Qin asked.
"Probably not, at least I haven't encountered it before." Jiang Zhong lowered his head to eat the meat, and said after a while, "But I thought you were cool when I saw you the first day."
"Really?" Xi Qin asked back, actually he was a little nervous that day.
"Yeah." Jiang Zhong recalled, "On the first day of my freshman year, you helped me carry my suitcase upstairs, picked it up and left, it's like 'people don't talk much'."
"That's the first time you think you've seen me." Xi Qin curled his lips, "It's not the first time I've seen you."
"That's right." Jiang Zhong looked up at Xi Qin, "Why didn't you tell me that we were high school alumni?"
"How do I tell you? You don't know me." Xi Qin glanced at him and smiled, "Could I say, 'Wow, you're Jiang Zhong! You're a school star! I'm your fanboy'?"
Jiang Zhong kept laughing while holding his chopsticks, shaking his hands and said: "Forget it, then I will definitely not think you are cool, and even want to beat you up."
"I don't believe it." Xi Qin said, "You don't look like you can beat people."
Jiang Zhong had never beaten anyone, mainly because no one made him want to.
"You seem to have been pampered and grown up." Xi Qin commented, "It's very simple."
"You're thinking too much." Jiang Zhong quickly denied, "Boys over the age of fifteen who say he's innocent are just pretending."
"I don't mean this kind of simplicity, but I mean that you have no evil intentions."
"Speaking as if you are so bad yourself." Jiang Zhong didn't take it seriously, "Did you often bully others before?"
"Yeah, I often bully my...brother." Xi Qin turned his head and turned his face to Jiang Zhong, and whispered, "Basically, I have to beat him once every time I go home."
Jiang Zhong didn't care and said: "What's the matter, there are a lot of brothers like this, I have a friend and his brother who have a small fight every three days, a big fight every five days, and once a week..."
"No, I'm serious." Xi Qin avoided Jiang Zhong's gaze, "I beat him to the hospital once."
Jiang Zhong: "..."
"Is it your own brother?" Jiang Zhong asked tentatively.
"It was... born to my father." Xi Qin said with difficulty.
Jiang Zhong probably understood, this is really...every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite.
Looking at Xi Qin who was always facing him sideways, Jiang Zhong's heart ached slightly.
Jiang Zhong nudged Xi Qin lightly with his elbow, and when Xi Qin turned his head to look over, he raised the meat on the chopsticks and handed it to his mouth: "Ah—"
Xi Qin looked at Jiang Zhong quietly for a while, then opened his mouth and ate the meat.
"It's okay." Jiang Zhong comforted in a low voice with a smile.
Although he didn't know why Xi Qin beat his brother, Jiang Zhong believed that Xi Qin was not the kind of person who would do it indiscriminately.
Oh no, before Xi Qin said it, he didn't even think that Xi Qin would beat someone up. If he could make Xi Qin so angry, that brother must not be a good person.
-
After it was completely dark, a group of people prepared to return to school. Before leaving, they divided the work and cleaned up the place where they had activities today.
There was no class until the afternoon of the second day, Jiang Zhong hesitated whether to stay at home for the night and go back tomorrow morning.
"Look at you," Xi Qin said in the afternoon, his mood was not too high, "If you are tired, you can stay tonight, don't make a fuss."
"Forget it, I'd better go back with you." Jiang Zhong said.
During this day, Xi Qin stayed with him, did not take the initiative to talk to others, and even mentioned sad things.
If he had stayed at home, Xi Qin might have huddled in a corner alone and secretly wiped his tears on the way back.
Although it's not far away, but thinking about it, I still feel... so pitiful.
Fortunately, Xi Qin didn't know Jiang Zhong's inner thoughts. If you knew, the appointment would force him to stay and send him a sentence: You think too much.
After arriving at the school dormitory area, boys and girls had to walk in different directions separately. Taking advantage of the confusion, Yan Xiaoxing walked up to Jiang Zhong and Xi Qin, put one fist on his chest, and said solemnly, "Come on!"
Jiang Zhong looked at her speechlessly.
Yan Xiaoxing's eyes were full of righteousness, and he encouraged them: "Don't care about other people's opinions."
Just as Jiang Zhong was about to refute, Xi Qin answered her seriously from the side: "Thank you."
After Yan Xiaoxing left, Jiang Zhong smiled and said, "What is there to cheer for? It's not a competition."
"They are also kind." Xi Qin said.
"Yes, thank you." Jiang Zhong asked with a smile, "Do you know what she is talking about? Thank you."
"I know, I'm not stupid, she just looks like she's taking CP."
Jiang Zhong: "Do you still know about eating CP?"
"... How ignorant am I in your eyes? It's not that I don't surf the Internet, why don't I know?" Xi Qin asked.
"No, no," Jiang Zhong waved his hand, "It's just that when you say this, it feels... so cute."
"Besides," Xi Qin glanced at Jiang Zhong, "I heard you when she asked you if we were a couple before."
Jiang Zhong: "..."
That's right, the question was asked next to Xi Qin, and the voice was only lowered a little, Xi Qin must have heard it.
The point is, Jiang Zhong deliberately changed the subject and didn't answer Yan Xiaoxing. Why can't Xi Qin pretend that he didn't hear it? And just said it outright!
It's embarrassing.
"She seems to have misunderstood something." Jiang Zhong laughed "hehe".
Xi Qin gave an inexplicable "uh" and said softly, "Misunderstanding?"
Jiang Zhong thought that Xi Qin would say something, but until he returned to the dormitory, Xi Qin did not speak again.
On the contrary, Deng Letian was so excited: "Jiang Zhong, I didn't expect you to be an invisible rich second generation. You are usually so low-key."
"No, I'm not the second generation rich." Jiang Zhong quickly denied, "My family is a very ordinary rich man."
Deng Letian: "..."
Is this explanation serious
"In short, thank you very much for your 'selfless contribution', we had a great time today."
Jiang nodded emphatically: "That's good."
"But you two are really, hey—" Deng Letian pointed to Jiang Zhong and Xi Qin, shook his head and sighed, "Although you are very handsome, you don't have to worry about finding a girlfriend, but such a good opportunity, it is also good to make more friends It's okay."
Deng Letian: "It's good for the two of you, you've been stuck together all day, it's like an enchantment has been set up around, and no one can blend in."
It's really clear to a bystander, Jiang Zhong was almost ashamed by Deng Letian's unintentional words.
Deng Letian: "You guys are always tired of being crooked and don't talk about it. Why are you reluctant to give it to others just this day? I think there are a few girls who are really beautiful. You two are just reckless."
"Especially Brother Qin," Deng Letian turned his finger on Xi Qin alone, "you can't do this."
Xi Qin: "?"
"When girls want to say hello to you several times, you are always cold. Although many girls like boys who are cold and cold, they don't get any response at all. No matter how handsome you are, girls will be disheartened." Deng Letian said , "I think you and Jiang Zhong can talk quite well? Why can't you treat others?"
Jiang Zhong was really shy.
Xi Qin thought for a while, nodded and said seriously: "Yes, I only deal with Jiang Chong."
Fuck, Jiang Zhong blushed.
Deng Letian wanted to say more, but Xiao Yuan couldn't stand it and interrupted him: "Hurry up and count the money spent today, everyone will share it equally, someone in the group raised it."
Deng Letian: "Oh good."
Because the money for renting the venue was saved, the consumption this time was much lower than expected, and it was more cost-effective to spread it out evenly.
After Deng Letian sought everyone's opinions, he didn't let Jiang Zhong share the share with them, so Jiang Zhong was naturally not polite.
When Jiang Zhong went to bed at night, he couldn't help but think of Xi Qin's sentence "I only treat Jiang Zhong".
Jiang Zhong was sure that Xi Qin did it on purpose, tsk, it's so boring that Deng Letian called him cold.
Cold? Ah.
It's shameless for a gay to say such things to another gay.
But thinking about it carefully, Xi Qin didn't seem to be talking to him, he was answering Deng Letian... teasing him from the air made him even more sullen.
Hooliganism, if not for his handsome looks, Jiang Zhong would definitely...
Jiang Zhong turned over on the bed, thinking distressedly, I'm still blushing because of this sentence, I don't know if Xi Qin can see it.
The phone placed under the pillow vibrated suddenly, Jiang Zhong closed his eyes and didn't want to care about it, his head was already in a mess, and now he must be unable to fall asleep after looking at the phone.
"Cough." Xi Qin coughed softly on the opposite bed.
Hearing the sound, Jiang Zhong opened his eyes. He happened to be lying on his side on the bed facing the direction of Xi Qin's bed. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the screen of Xi Qin's mobile phone was on, and the white light shone on Xi Qin's face.
Jiang Zhong seemed to have a sense of it, took out the vibrating mobile phone and turned it on. Xi Qin sent him a message a minute ago:
[Can't sleep?]
[Jiang Zhong: Well, don’t you too?]
[Xi Qin: I was going to sleep]
[Xi Qin: I heard you keep turning over]
[Xi Qin: What are you thinking]
Jiang Zhong definitely can't say, he was thinking about whether you can treat me well.
[Jiang Zhong: I didn't think about anything]
[Jiang Zhong: A little excited]
After Jiang Zhong finished speaking, he saw that "the other party is typing" was always displayed on the phone, and he hadn't received the message for a while, so he couldn't help turning his head to look at Xi Qin's bed.
Xi Qin's fingers seemed to be typing all the time, Jiang Zhong thought what was he doing
[Xi Qin: Go to the toilet to solve it]
Jiang Zhong: "?"
Jiang Zhong: "!!!"
[Jiang Zhong: Fuck, I didn't mean the excitement]
