Jiang Wen returned to the dormitory. The main lights were turned off, leaving only two desk lamps. He opened the magazine that Zhao Binlin had casually discarded and sat down on his chair.
Zhao Binlin turned over, poked his head out of the bed, and whispered, "Xi Gaoyuan accompanied his girlfriend to the cinema to watch the premiere of Avengers last night, and went to bed before nine o'clock today."
Jiang Wen nodded.
"What about you?"
"Me what."
"What did you do with Cheng Jiajia?"
“Classroom learning.”
"Just keep pretending." Zhao Binlin's face was full of bad taste, like an instigator, "You have to be more proactive with girls. How can you get on base if you don't take the initiative? How can you experience the joy of life if you don't get on base? As long as you have the intention, today's date is in the classroom, and tomorrow's date is in bed. How wonderful it is."
Jiang Wen fiddled with his phone and ignored his dirty talk.
Zhao Binlin had long been accustomed to his sexual apathy, so he didn't mind: "Are you texting with Cheng Jiajia? So serious?" His neck was almost broken when he tilted his head back. Only when he changed the angle did he see the colorful screen on Jiang Wen's phone. It was a new racing game.
"It's boring, really boring." Zhao Binlin sighed and muttered to himself, "Yeah, how can dating be more interesting than playing games."
The sports meet is on schedule.
The Kai Tak Sports Games have always allowed three days without wearing school uniforms.
After a brief gathering on the playground, the Iron Lady asked the monitor to lead them to sit on the stands of Class Nine.
Because some students from the previous class took advantage of the sports meeting to sneak out and play, and something happened on the way. The parents went to the school and made a fuss for a long time. This time, the school took it seriously and managed it extra strictly. The Iron Lady repeatedly emphasized that no one was allowed to run away and must sign in at the designated time and place.
The weather was hot, and several girls sat together in groups, chatting and passing the time.
Jiang Wen had a knee injury, so he didn't sign up for any projects. He wore a white baseball cap to block the sun and watched videos on his iPad. It was almost lunchtime when large clouds gathered together, and the sky suddenly darkened. It was going to rain again.
Jiang Wen raised his eyes and found that someone had stood in front of him. He did not react in time and looked up from the bottom.
From ripped jeans to a black T-shirt, and a skull necklace on his chest, he looked very cool. Jiang Wen's astonishment gradually accumulated. After a short silence, he asked, "What are you doing standing here?"
They have been in a cold war for many days.
Feng Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked instead of answering: "Do you remember this dress of mine? I wore it especially for you to see."
His face changed and he said stubbornly, "I don't remember."
"How could you not remember? I don't believe it." Feng Ning smiled happily, very confidently, "Didn't you fall in love with me at first sight? How come you don't even remember what I was wearing?"
"Who fell in love with you at first sight?" Jiang Wen stood up excitedly, "How boring!"
Jiang Wen didn't even care about the iPad. He was angry, ashamed and annoyed, and walked forward angrily, his steps were hurried as if he was fleeing from famine, and she followed him slowly behind him.
The two of them walked out of the school gate one after the other, turned a few corners and walked a few streets, and came to the familiar alley entrance again. Feng Ning stood in front of him leisurely.
Jiang Wen finally slowed down his pace and said unkindly, "Don't follow me."
Feng Ning still smiled, her peach blossom eyes flashing with electricity, "You get angry when I follow you, and you get angry when I don't follow you, so what do you want?"
"I want you to stop following me."
"Don't you want to know why I came to you?"
"In no mood."
She raised her head and pushed his shoulders again and again, "You say one thing and mean another. How long are you going to keep pretending? Hmm? Children who tell lies will have their noses grow longer."
Jiang Wen was a head taller than Feng Ning, but he staggered backwards until he was pressed against the wall by her, with no room to retreat. "What do you want?"
She stood on tiptoe and kissed his earlobe, just like a dragonfly touching the water, with only a little heat, "I want it this way."
Jiang Wen's back was straight, his heart was beating so hard that his face turned red. He was at a loss, so frightened that he could hardly speak, "You, you..."
Feng Ning was like a scoundrel. He leaned close to his ear and said in a lewd tone, "The mole on your abdominal muscle is so sexy. Let me touch it."
Jiang Wen's body stiffened, his chest felt like it had collapsed, and his vision became confused.
She was still not willing to give up and moved a little closer. The two of them were so close that the skull necklace pressed against his chest, causing it to hurt.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Feng Ning put away her nonchalant expression and said sadly, "Jiang Wen, I regret it. Please don't be with other girls, okay? I don't know what to do. I feel so bad. I can't listen to the lectures or sleep every day. I miss you every day, and I miss your hot and cold attitude towards me, and your indifference to my love."
"You feel bad too?" He accused her like he had lost his mind, "You don't feel bad at all. If you felt bad, why would you still be watching crosstalk?"
"I try to find joy in misery, I force myself to smile."
Thunder rumbled from the distant clouds, and within a minute, bean-sized raindrops fell. Pedestrians hurried along the road, and some even ran, anxious to find shelter under the eaves. No one cared about what was happening in this corner.
"You're lying." Jiang Wen was finally going crazy. He was so dizzy that even his voice sounded particularly aggrieved. "You obviously don't like me."
Looking at him steadily, Feng Ning said softly in the sound of rain, "I like you, you are my little prince."
They were all wet.
Jiang Wen watched helplessly as her hand was pulled up lovingly, their five fingers entwined, making his heart sink.
Feng Ning took his hand, put it to her lips and kissed it affectionately, then kissed his lips again.
He couldn't hold out for more than two seconds before he took the initiative to stick out the tip of his tongue. The tingling sensation from his tailbone instantly spread throughout his body.
—Ding-ling-ling... Ding-ling-ling...
Apple's alarm rang on time in the dim morning light, waking me up from this absurd and nonsensical dream.
Jiang Wen's back was soaked with sweat, as if he had just blacked out. He calmed his breathing, half asleep and half awake, his mind was still in a daze, unable to come back to his senses.
Lost, embarrassed, annoyed, all kinds of complicated emotions mixed together. He lay on the bed, closed his eyes, opened them again, looked at the ceiling, and finally became clear-headed.
He reached his hand under the quilt and felt something sticky. After a few seconds, he pounded the bed and cursed inwardly.
On Friday, the eve of the holiday, the class is always particularly restless.
It was Feng Ning's turn to be on duty today. After the last self-study class, she diligently swept and mopped the floor, making the tile floor sparkling. When she finished cleaning, everyone in the classroom had left.
After closing the doors and windows, turning off the fan and checking the power supply, Feng Ning clapped his hands in satisfaction and went downstairs with his schoolbag on his back.
Shuangyao had something to do today and had to go out to eat with her family, so she had to take the bus home alone.
After leaving the school gate, she passed by a roadside shop and went to pick out a chocolate ice cream. After walking a few steps, she suddenly heard someone shouting.
Feng Ning licked the sugar stains on his lips, turned around, and saw an off-road vehicle slowly slowing down. The window was lowered, and Zhao Binlin poked his head out from the passenger seat, "Feng Ning, where are you going? Do you want a ride?"
"The bus stop is still fifty meters away. It goes directly to my door. No need to send me off."
"Who are you all? Do you want to go out and play?" She was curious and bent down to take a look. She didn't recognize the person driving the car, but the person sitting in the back looked quite familiar.
Jiang Wen was sitting in the car. He saw Feng Ning holding a black ice cream that was about to melt, and with her usual smile, she inadvertently met his eyes.
His whole body stiffened and he immediately turned his head away.
Zhao Binlin said cheerfully, "We'll go play with you tomorrow after dinner, Jiantang?"
Feng Ning nodded, "Yes, you want to come, right? I'll book a table for you when I get back."
"Can we bring two more people?"
"Okay." Feng Ning agreed readily, then frowned and said seriously, "But don't drink too much. Don't make me drunk."
A car honked its horn behind them, and Feng Ning waved his hand, "Okay, see you tomorrow, go ahead, and get out of the way."
"Hahahahaha, ok, see you tomorrow then."
Feng Ning hummed twice, "And you guys, it's not okay for underage people to drive, be careful and don't get caught by the traffic police."
Ji Chiyang laughed happily, "She is so interesting."
"Yeah, very funny."
Ji Chiyang was eager to try, "Where are you going to drink tomorrow? Take me with you."
After saying this, he subconsciously looked at Jiang Wen. Seeing that he had no expression, Ji Chiyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had not forgotten the sullen look Jiang Wen had shown when he said he wanted to pursue Feng Ning, and he felt sorry for a while at that time. However, within two days Jiang Wen was with Cheng Jiajia at the speed of light, and his attention was diverted, so he did not take it to heart.
Anyway, he changes one every week, and everyone is just playing around, so why take it seriously
We had dinner at a chain restaurant that Xi Gaoyuan's family had just signed up for. Today was a family gathering, and those who had girlfriends brought their girlfriends, a total of more than a dozen people, and we asked for a private room, and had a lively meal.
After the meal, a single guy started to make a fuss and insisted that all the couples present kiss each other. Once this suggestion was made, the atmosphere became even more heated.
Everyone was having fun, Xi Gaoyuan took the lead by hugging his girlfriend and kissing her for a minute, and the rest of the group followed suit.
They were laughing and making noises. Jiang Wen looked at the messy table, but he wasn't paying much attention.
Zhao Binlin tilted his head and asked, "What happened to you today? You've been distracted all day."
Everyone just happened to start making a fuss when they got to Jiang Wen. The girls pushed Cheng Jiajia, and the boys pushed Jiang Wen, and they all shouted, "Kiss, kiss, kiss, give me a kiss! Give me a kiss!"
"Others have already kissed, so you can't cheat!"
Pei Shurou smiled faintly, not anxious at all. Others couldn't understand, but she and Jiang Wen grew up together, and she could tell at a glance whether he had feelings for Cheng Jiajia or not.
Cheng Jiajia was half-hearted, blushing, and was pushed forward by others.
She raised her face slightly, and when she was about to kiss him, Jiang Wen turned his head away.
Cheng Jiajia froze and turned away seemingly calmly.
Everyone was disappointed and sighed because they didn't get to watch the good show. Xi Gaoyuan was angry at his lack of fighting spirit and couldn't help but cursed, "Damn it, Jiang Wen, do you really have to be so cowardly?"
Zhao Binlin held his shoulders with both hands and shook him, imitating the lines of the male protagonist in the movie, gritting his teeth and saying, "Jiang Wen, what I hate most is that you are like a stone!"
Jiang Wen pushed him away and stood up, "You guys play, I'm going to the bathroom."
When he left, Cheng Jiajia was left alone, feeling awkward. The atmosphere froze for a moment, and Pei Shurou patted her comfortingly, "It's okay, Ah Wen is just like that, he may still be a little uncomfortable with it."
It was indeed true. Over the past ten years, Jiang Wen had been pure and simple-minded, rarely showing his emotions, and was so sexually indifferent to girls that people suspected he was gay.
Several childhood friends around him all knew that Jiang Wen’s family had asked a Taoist priest to calculate his “love calamity” for him. They finally waited for him to fall in love, but the result was no different from usual. He was very arrogant.
Xi Gaoyuan sighed, "Alas, we all thought that Jiang Wen's iron tree had blossomed, but in the end, it was just a fucking bud."
He isolated himself from the crowd and washed his face with cold water. The water was running, and Jiang Wen looked at himself in the mirror, still feeling irritable.
Just now, when Cheng Jiajia kissed him, he couldn't help but think of last night's dream.
Even the details were vivid and replayed in my mind.
But the person in front of me has changed.
After washing his hands, Jiang Wen found a terrace to enjoy the fresh air for a long time.
He slammed the railing, but still not feeling satisfied, he turned around twice, and then kicked the wall as if to vent his anger.
No one knows, in this spring season, in this deserted corner.
Young Master Tieshu Jiang has already blossomed his flower bud with great fanfare, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to crack.
