Unlike the helpless Shen Antu, Shen Yixing has a complete family and parents who love him. Shen Kaiping is an unexpected disaster for him. So during that summer vacation, Shen Yixing would run away every day. He would be caught, beaten and locked up every time, but he would run away again as soon as he could walk again.
Shen Antu and three others witnessed the whole process of Shen Yixing's escape and beating. Shen Chao and Shen Mingfei laughed and scolded Shen Yixing for being ungrateful. Shen Qi was timid and went back to his room after watching for a while. Only Shen Antu felt a sense of sadness. So one night, when Shen Yixing wanted to escape again, Shen Antu helped him lead the security guards away and delay time.
The next morning, Shen Yixing was not caught. Shen Antu was very happy, thinking that he had finally escaped. However, that night he saw a news report about a male high school student who fell into a river and died. The deceased was Shen Yixing.
Shen Antu felt so sad and self-blaming that he didn't sleep well for a month.
After Shen Yixing's death, Shen Antu became the "best choice", and his nightmare life began.
Among the remaining four boys, Shen Antu was the only one without a mother. The confrontation between the boys was already fierce enough, and coupled with the subtle exclusion of his three mothers in life, Shen Antu had a very difficult life. He often didn't have breakfast, or his dirty clothes were not washed - they deliberately let the servants forget Shen Antu's clothes.
But Shen Antu has a big advantage, his academic performance is very good. If it weren't for Xie Duo, Shen Antu could have firmly sat on the throne of the first place in Z.
At first, Shen Chao was also in Z, but he was always in the middle or lower ranks in every exam. In order to avoid being compared to Shen Antu, Shen Chao's mother asked Shen Kaiping to let him transfer to a private high school. Shen Qi and Shen Mingfei were younger than Shen Antu, and they were still in junior high school when Shen Antu was in the first year of high school, so the school became Shen Antu's favorite place.
"You don't know, Shen Kaiping is a madman. He probably thinks that if his son knew a little bit of Kung Fu, he wouldn't have been kidnapped. He forced the four of us to learn fighting, so we practice fighting in pairs during the holidays."
Shen Antu continued to speak, and Xie Duo listened silently.
"Shen Chao doesn't like me and often beats me up under the pretext of sparring. His physical fitness is better than mine, and I can't beat him. I often go to class with injuries all over my body," Shen Antu smiled at Xie Duo, "You probably haven't noticed."
Xie Duo was speechless. He really had no impression.
"But it doesn't matter, because I have you, Xie Duo. You have made my high school life a precious time that is unique in my life."
Xie Duo was confused for a moment: "When we were in high school..."
"We are not familiar with each other at all, right?" Shen Antu started laughing again, "You know, the night I was sick and nauseous, I asked you how you pursued me, and you said that we have been together since high school, and we have been together for ten years... Xie Duo, I am so happy, I dare not do this in my dreams, I know you are lying to me, but I am really happy..."
"Although you may have never noticed me, I fell in love with you at first sight on the first day of school. You don't know that I took the initiative to ask the teacher to move my seat in front of you, and later you complained that I was blocking your view of the blackboard; we were not in the same room for the physics competition, and I half-begged and half-threatened to switch seats with your roommate, but you didn't come to live here at all; later I missed the commendation meeting, and you brought the certificate back to me. I wanted to take this opportunity to talk to you, but you left without saying a word to me..."
"Sitting in the same classroom with you has become a sweet torture. The few seconds of passing homework between the front and back seats are the happiest moments of my day, because I can hold your homework in my hands for a few seconds, as if we are indirectly holding hands..."
"I also tried to send you a love letter, but I happened to see you coldly rejecting a girl's confession, so I gave up. I imagined that if you spoke to me in that tone, I would want to jump off the roof of the teaching building on the spot, so when I was in the second year of high school, I chose the liberal arts..."
"Xie Duo, I tried hard, I really tried hard, but you couldn't see me. I had a crush on you for the entire three years of high school and the next nine years... Xie Duo, in nearly half of my life so far, there has not been a single day that I didn't think about you."
Xie Duo couldn't control the stiffness and coldness that permeated his limbs. He looked down at Shen Antu in his arms and spoke mechanically, "What did you say?"
Chapter 58 We Are All Fools
I want to ask the author to follow me, thank you, love you guys?(′???)
"What did you say just now? Say it again." Xie Duo couldn't believe his ears.
"Which one do you want to hear? I like you, I love you, I have had a crush on you since high school, and have been secretly in love with you for twelve years?" Shen Antu took advantage of Xie Duo's daze, raised his head and stole a kiss on his mouth, then found that he didn't respond, so he stole another one.
Xie Duo stared straight at Shen Antu, his deep pupils gleaming with tiny lights, as if all the stars in the sky were crushed and stuffed into a glass bead the size of a fingernail.
After a moment, Xie Duo said, "Shen Antu, we are all fools."
Shen Antu was puzzled.
Xie Duo: "I said before that I have liked you since high school, you think it's fake, right? I told you so many times that I love you, but you didn't believe a word, right? Then I will say it again, Shen Antu, you are my first love, and you will be the only lover of my life. I am not completely ignorant of your past. I don't just like Shen Antu, I also love the part of you that is Shen Lin."
