Yu Rui and Xie Li haven't said a word since that night, and have always treated each other as air - at least in Yu Rui's view.
Until the last class on Friday afternoon, the class meeting.
After Tian Xueqian finished the summary of the week, he began to talk about the administrative tasks assigned in the grades during the week.
The first few items had little impact, and he basically passed them through quickly. In the last item about the exceptional selection of several student council ministers in the second year of senior high school, Tian Xueqian emphasized it.
"Students, don't always think that students' work is a waste of time. This matter is also helpful to you. Therefore, students who are interested in this aspect and feel that they are eligible to run will come over before get out of class to get an election form."
"Teacher, what does it mean to be eligible to run for election?"
"This..." Tian Xueqian turned his eyes, and happened to see Yu Rui who was habitually sitting upright and writing with his head down in the back row.
Tian Xueqian showed a satisfied smile, "For example, as the Minister of the Learning Department, if Yu Rui runs for the election, the probability of winning the election is very high - in short, in the department you want to run for, you must be good at or even top-notch. , that's how to be competitive."
"… "
After being called by Tian Xueqian, Yu Rui stopped writing.
This matter, Tian Xueqian had already told him when he called him to the office last time.
Yu Rui wanted to simplify his study steps as much as possible, and he obviously had high hopes for the independent admissions test. And his academic grades are also enough to qualify. It's just that in terms of student work, a simple class position may lack a certain degree of competitiveness, and the position of the head of the study department is indeed the most suitable for him.
Yu Rui thought about it carefully, and after Tian Xueqian said that he could go up and get the form, he stood up and walked towards the podium.
After Yu Rui, there were two other students in the class who were willing to participate in the art department and the sports department.
Tian Xueqian looked at the few application forms left at hand, and asked with a smile, "There's no one left? Everyone has no confidence in themselves."
Someone in the class muttered, "Brother Rui goes out, the head of the student department must be his, and it's a waste of time to go. As for other departments, we only know what to do with our heads down and study?"
"Okay, then I'll-"
Before he could finish speaking, the last row of stools squeaked on the ground.
The teachers and students on and off the stage were all silent, followed by Tian Xueqian, who was the first to react, and turned to look at the last row in shock.
Xie Ligang took off his school uniform jacket and stood up, rubbed the broken hair that he slept in a mess, and raised his legs to the front of the classroom.
Tian Xueqian frowned, "Xie Li, are you drowsy? You haven't finished class yet."
Xie Li kept walking, until he came to the podium before stopping. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his stern and handsome face was full of laziness and impatience.
Glancing across the podium, he finally fixed his eyes.
"I'm also applying." Xie Li's voice was hoarse with obvious drowsiness. After he took one from the application form, he drooped his eyelids and turned his head back.
There is a lot of posture to go back and make up for a sleep.
Tian Xueqian was so bluffed that he didn't come back to his senses until he had walked halfway through the classroom, "You also signed up? Which department did you sign up for?"
"… "
Xie Li slowed down, when he was walking to Yu Rui's table.
The afterglow of the setting sun was obscured by the leaves outside the window for eight' nine minutes, leaving only a few bits and pieces of pale golden light. Many visible and invisible spots of light spread on the boy sitting by the window.
Staring at the figure, Xie Li's sparse focus slowly locked in his dark and deep eyes.
Yu Rui by the window noticed something, frowned slightly, and raised his head.
All four look at each other.
Two seconds later, Xie Li sneered abruptly—
"Learning Department, Minister."
"!"
The whole class was startled, all turned to look at Yu Rui.
—
After the last get out of class, it was an hour for the students of Dezai Middle School for dinner.
The last bit of impatience in late summer enveloped the whole land without hesitation, desperately exerting its residual heat. The huge playground is like a steamer covered with an invisible lid, and the air is filled with the smell of the plastic track being baked.
"boom!"
On the basketball court, a basketball slammed into the ground and bounced off at high speed. Just looking at the height of the bounce, you can also guess how hard the person who just slammed it down.
"Fuck, Brother Rui, what are you doing? Are you taking gunpowder?" Qiao Shengyu, who was playing 1v1 with Yu Rui, was taken aback, his eyes widened, he straightened up, and he looked at Yu Rui, who was half-bowed on his knees.
Yu Rui slowly straightened up, and the corner of his mouth twitched perfunctorily. "Excuse me. Come here first, and come back after a while."
"Well, I'm just tired too."
"… "
Yu Rui followed Qiao Shengyu to the rest bench next to the basketball court.
Today, Yu Rui rarely wore a plain white shirt, but changed into an ordinary white printed T-shirt. Starting from the round neck of the T-shirt and connecting to the neckline, the skin that was so white that it was almost reflective in the sun was exposed, and the collarbone was also a sharp and sexy depression.
After some warm-up and intense basketball bullfighting, the teenager had a thin layer of sweat, and the black broken hair was wet and stuck to his forehead, adding two points to the gentle and harmless teenager who usually wears rimless glasses. .
As soon as he sat on the bench, there was a girl trotting over next to him, with scars on his face that he didn't know if it was red from the sun.
"Squad leader, we bought an extra bottle of ice water over there. I'll give it to you."
Yu Rui was stunned for a moment, then looked down.
The bottle covered with water vapor was held tightly by the girl, and her eyes, expressions, and movements were full of unease that she didn't know, and other information.
She must have been inspired by someone before she mustered up the courage to come over - if she was rejected, she would be embarrassed for a long time after she went back.
Yu Rui returned to his senses, he put back the water glass he had taken half of his backpack, and took the ice water from the girl.
Then he frowned slightly, and his voice and smile were comfortingly gentle.
"thanks."
"No... you're welcome."
The girl's face turned even redder, and before Yu Rui could say the second sentence, she had already turned her head and ran away.
Yu Rui looked away from the girl's back. He hesitated for the ice water in his hand, but he unscrewed the bottle cap and took two sips, which is considered to have been drunk.
- I don't know if it's genetics or other reasons. His stomach is not good, so he usually doesn't touch such things that are too raw.
Exception today.
In addition to giving the girl face, it was also because he really had anger in his heart that he needed some ice water to press it down—no gunpowder needed, thinking of Xie Li was enough to make him annoyed for a while.
Yu Rui was frowning, and Qiao Shengyu sat down on the bench beside him with his water.
Qiao Shengyu put his arm on Yu Rui's shoulder and bared his teeth reluctantly.
"Brother Rui, are you still not feeling well?"
"… "
Due to his own reasons, Yu Rui was very unaccustomed to this kind of intimacy between boys, but after all, Qiao Shengyu played basketball with him tirelessly for 20 minutes.
So Yu Rui could only endure it and smiled perfunctorily.
Qiao Shengyu is not surprised, "I know, you must be bothering Xie Li and your election for the Minister of Learning, right?"
Yu Rui was silent for two seconds, without denying it, he tilted his head and smiled, "Is it obvious?"
"… "
The smile was a little cool, cold and light, and fluttering gently. The beauty and temperament of the facial features were all blended in this smile.
For some reason, Qiao Shengyu felt that he was stunned for a while, and when he regained his senses, he even felt that the smile of the young man who had been turned back by his shoulders was really beautiful.
I think a boy looks good when he smiles... Playing basketball and getting sunstroke
Qiao Shengyu touched his forehead—
But it's almost night, I can't.
When he couldn't figure it out, Qiao Shengyu was never difficult for himself. He took Yu Rui's words back, "It's quite obvious, but Xie Li has done too much. He usually doesn't take classes every day, and he doesn't care about anyone or his grades. Master, why do you want the head of the study department? Isn't it obvious that you can't get along with the monitor?"
Yu Rui smiled and said nothing.
Qiao Shengyu added: "I guess, it was you and Pei An'an who offended him. Xie Li is really, he doesn't care about anything, why is he so careful. Isn't he a girl, brother is more important. Women are important?"
Yu Rui was amused by the tone of his last sentence, and then he said, "Xie Li... It shouldn't be because of Pei An'an."
"Ah?" Qiao Shengyu turned his head in surprise, "What's that because? I think you guys were fine a few days ago. I always thought it was because of Pei An'an that they turned against each other, didn't they?"
"I have nothing to do with Pei An'an, Xie Li also knows this."
"Then why is he so hard on you?"
Yu Rui was forced to recall memories related to that person, and his smile turned cold: "...Ghost knows."
Cold and hot, far and near, enemies and friends—just like sick.
Qiao Shengyu sighed, "But this person really can't be provoked. Let me tell you, Brother Rui, not only did he fight fiercely himself, but his family—"
Before he finished speaking, Qiao Shengyu suddenly choked.
A few seconds later, he pushed Yu Rui, "Brother Rui, say Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here."
"… "
Yu Rui raised his eyes.
On the diagonally diagonal basketball court, the tall and long-legged figure standing under the basketball hoop was indeed Xie Li.
Xie Li looked in the direction of the two of them expressionlessly, and the emotion in his dark eyes was terrifying.
Yu Rui's best forbearance and self-cultivation, which he had cultivated since childhood, could not hold back when he was in front of this person. After being stared at by this gaze for two seconds, a nameless fire surged in his heart.
… sick.
After staring at each other for a few seconds, a basketball popped out of the basketball court behind Xie Li.
Xie Li heard the sound, and hooked the ball into his hand from the side.
"Thank you classmate, just give me the ball..."
Before he finished thanking the man behind him, the basketball was held up by Xie Li, charged, and threw it forward.
"call out-"
The basketball smashed straight at Yu Rui and Qiao Shengyu across half the field.
Qiao Shengyu was so frightened that he snorted, hurriedly took away the arm that was still on Yu Rui's shoulders, and jumped to the side of the bench.
The boy on the bench did not move.
"boom!"
The basketball smashed a few centimeters at his feet, then bounced diagonally, swiping past him.
The eyes were facing each other, as if there were electric, flint, and thorns pulling out a battlefield without gunpowder smoke.
Seeing the fiery scene that was about to break the blood, the air pressure was so low that it felt like the temperature had teleported to the South Pole.
During the basketball court week, whoever noticed this scene, one of them stopped moving and muted his voice, and all looked here.
Then almost at the same second - Xie Li, who was standing, stretched his long legs, and Yu Rui, who was sitting, got up from the bench.
The two walked halfway across the court to the middle point.
Stop face to face.
The corner of Yu Rui's mouth twitched, and his smile was as cold and sharp as never before: "Bullfighting, are you playing?"
"Play." Xie Li also smiled, gritted his teeth, as if he was about to chew something and swallow it.
"Betting on what?"
"Betting..." Xie Li glanced at Yu Rui's face, "What the other party wants most now."
Yu Rui: "Okay."
Xie Li: "I lost, I quit the campaign."
Yu Rui's smile became even colder, "If I lose, I will automatically quit."
"... Tsk." Xie Li lowered his head and laughed mockingly.
The cold flame in Yu Rui's eyes jumped, "What are you laughing at?"
"Student Council, do you really think I want that kind of thing?"
"Then what do you want?"
"… "
After a long silence, Xie Li twitched the corners of his mouth, slowly leaned forward, and crossed the neck of the boy who was a few centimeters lower than him.
He laughed hoarsely.
The deepest hidden desire finally spit out the greedy and vicious tongue—
"If you lose, give me a fuck."
