Yu Rui walked into the viewing area of Class 20, and sat down in the seat reserved for him by the deputy monitor at the far end.
The deputy squad leader turned around when he heard the movement.
At this time, the stage was changing, and the lights on the stage also fell on this side. The deputy squad leader said, "Xie Li's side is ready-hey, squad leader, why are your face so red?"
"… It's hot."
"Oh." The deputy squad leader vaguely felt that something was not right, but nodded blankly, "Is Xie Li ready to play?"
Yu Rui was silent for two seconds, then gritted his teeth slightly, "En."
The deputy monitor turned back in peace and smiled, "That's good, I see that not only our class, but also the students in the first and third grades of high school are looking forward to his performance."
As soon as the deputy monitor finished speaking, the host on stage had already started to announce:
"Next, I invite Xie Li from Class 20 to bring us a solo song singing program, "Lock me up"."
"!"
The audience quickly set off a wave of applause.
In the dimly lit stage lights, a figure stepped onto the stage unhurriedly from behind the scenes.

Xie Li's birthday is October 10th, which is the Saturday one week after the school celebration. The wave of "star chasing fever" that Xie Li set off in school has subsided because of his indifferent and lazy attitude, and everything has gradually returned to the usual pattern.
Early on Saturday morning, Yu Rui left home after breakfast and went to Xie Li's part-time Internet cafe.
Listening to Yu Rui's explanation of his intention, the girl at the front desk of the internet cafe was very surprised: "Is Brother Li's birthday today?"
Yu Rui nodded, "He told me."
"But Li Ge is like this. He never says a word about his own affairs, and he doesn't care about other people's affairs at all." The girl at the front desk said while sorting out the account, "That's why you came last time, and I did that. Surprised that Brother Li still has friends."
"Is he upstairs?"
"Well, I heard that Li Ge's house is quite far from here. He usually doesn't go home and sleeps in the lounge on the second floor. He didn't have his night shift yesterday, so he should get up quite early today. You can estimate him after a while. It's time to come down."
"… "
Yu Rui listened to the little girl at the front desk for nearly a quarter of an hour before finally waiting for Xie Li, who came downstairs yawning.
Xie Li was listless when he came down the stairs, looking like he didn't wake up. He was about to pass the front desk without raising his eyes.
"Brother Li, your friend has come to find you." The little girl at the front desk greeted you.
"… "
Xie Li stopped, then raised his eyes.
After seeing Yu Rui for a few seconds, Xie Li's expression gradually peeled away from sleepiness and laziness, and the dark eyes under the broken hair gradually revealed a happy and excited mood.
"Class-leader?"
Yu Rui: "..."
Every time he met this man's morbid smile or eyes, he always had the urge to walk away.
But thinking of today's day, Yu Rui still took a deep breath and suppressed this urge. He glanced at Xie Li lightly, "Happy birthday."
Xie Li was slightly startled, "It's already October 10th today?"
"Um."
"..." Xie Li took out his phone and looked down.
Yu Rui glanced at it casually, only to see that there seemed to be a lot of information on it - it was expected that it was also a blessing text message sent by relatives and friends to Xie Li, but apparently this person woke up before and he spoke at this time, and he didn't take out his mobile phone to look at it at all.
Such a person, probably thrown into the deep mountains and forests for a few months, can still live a full life.
After Yu Rui finished slandering, Xie Li had already put away his phone and raised his eyes, his face still had that sloppy laziness smile, and what he couldn't hide was the slightly shaking light in his eyes.
"So the squad leader came here early this morning and delivered the gift to me personally?"
"..." It was a normal sentence, but when Xie Li turned around in Xie Li's mouth and then came out, he always called Yu Rui inexplicably blushing.
He turned his eyes away unconsciously, "The gift is at my house. Today at noon... go to my house for dinner." Yu Rui paused and added, "I'll cook."
Xie Li laughed, "Is the birthday treatment so good?"
"Yeah." Yu Rui responded perfunctorily and walked out, "If you have nothing to do, just go with me."
"… "
Xie Li stared at the back of the extremely good-looking boy for a few seconds, then turned his head carefully, and was looking at him curiously by the little girl at the front desk.
"What are you looking at?" As soon as Yu Rui left, Xie Li's smile faded away.
The little girl at the front desk said cautiously, "Brother Li, this... can't be your boyfriend?"
"." Xie Li lightly narrowed his eyes.
The little girl at the front desk instantly felt that the "killing" intention was approaching, and waved her hand quickly, "I don't mean anything else, I just asked curiously, and I don't discriminate against this matter at all, really!"
Xie Li was silent for a few seconds before he snorted softly and turned his eyes away, "Of course I want to, but unfortunately I didn't catch up."
"Hey... There are people Li Ge that you can't catch up with. This is too unscientific."
Xie Li went to the sofa to pick up his coat and asked casually, "How did you guess it."
The little girl at the front desk grinned: "Brother Li, you can restrain yourself when you are outside. The look in the eyes of the little brother is about to swallow your life."
"… "
Xie Li figured for a while, then stood up lazily and walked out.
A little remnant left behind—
"I can't hide it. Isn't the primary school teacher teaching? Eyes are the windows to the soul."
The little girl at the front desk: "..."
She froze for a few seconds, and when the backs of the two had disappeared from the door, she recovered and made a soft "hiss" sound.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I can't see it, Brother Li, how can you be so showy when chasing people."
—
When Xie Li followed Yu Rui to the house, Yu Li ran out of his bedroom and said "Happy Birthday" to Xie Li.
It's a pity that I didn't have time to chat with Xie Li a few more words, and was driven back to the room by my own brother to continue his homework.
When Yu Li's door closed, Xie Li looked back at Yu Rui, "Squad leader, where is my gift?"
"You're in such a hurry?" Yu Rui glanced at him without emotion.
Xie Li lowered his eyes and groaned, "Of course I'm worried. If the monitor wants to give him to me, then I don't want to wait even a second - I just want to unpack it right away."
"...Dreaming." Yu Rui glanced at him blankly, turned and walked to his bedroom.
Xie Li followed up knowingly.
Entering the bedroom, Yu Rui went straight to the desk before stopping. Before reaching out for the gift, he hesitated to stop and looked back at Xie Li, "You said it, it's not allowed to be bought."
Xie Li stopped at the base of the wall a meter away behind him, leaning half against the wall and looking down at him with a smile, "Of course I said that."
Yu Rui turned his gaze back, picked up a book on the table, and handed it to Xie Li.
Xie Li seemed a little surprised, "I thought it would be a handmade greeting card or something." He reached out and took it, turning to the first page and asking, "What is this?"
"... copybook." Yu Rui was silent for a few seconds, then whispered, "You came to me for the first time, didn't you want to take my physical paper. This is a copybook written by me."
Xie Li was stunned at the open book.
It took a few seconds for him to come to his senses, turning page after page, slowly and carefully, down.
After almost standing on the spot and flipping through the entire book, Xie Li looked up with a complicated look, "How long have you been writing this?"
"It won't be long." Yu Rui deliberately kept his eyes and tone cold, "Last time you said that, I will take a little time every day to write."
"A little bit of time?" Xie Li laughed dumbly, and suddenly stepped forward, forcing Yu Rui, who had subconsciously retreated, to the table.
Xie Li bent down reluctantly and asked, "How long is the hour? I see that the strokes are neat and tidy, it doesn't look like it could be written in a hurry, monitor."
Yu Rui frowned slightly, and put aside the converging eyes, "Probably, half an hour to an hour a day."
Xie Li was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed.
Yu Rui frowned and turned back, "What are you laughing at?"
Xie Li: "Laugh at how you look like a fool."
"?" Yu Rui was stunned by this.
Xie Li smiled and lowered his eyes, "Mingming said that even if he was tempted, he was completely self-control, but he spent a month preparing such a troublesome thing by himself..."
Yu Rui was annoyed, "If you don't want it, pay me back."
"How could I not?" Xie Li cut off his final voice, and leaned down again, almost kissing the boy's lips.
Yu Rui was forced by him to press his waist back, and the cold white complexion also began to spread a thin layer of bright color from behind his ears. But he still squinted his eyes and refused to accept it, "Have you forgotten what you said before?"
"What did I say?" Xie Li lowered his eyes and stared at the boy's slightly opened and closed lips, his eyes dark and rich.
Yu Rui was annoyed and helpless stared at by his explicit eyes, so he could only lean back as much as possible, and he couldn't help but avoid looking at each other and turned his eyes aside, "You said it yourself, there is no answer from me. Absolutely nothing."
"...Did I tell you?" Xie Li laughed hoarsely, "Then I must have a false confidence in my endurance—how could I feel that when you did something in front of me, Can you bear it?"
"Thanks, Li!" Yu Rui gritted his teeth angrily, "You go back on your word."
"Ah," Xie Li laughed happily, "It's because I said that, so you let down your guard against me—squad leader, were you so easy to deceive before?"
"… "
Yu Rui's face was flushed with anger, and she turned her head away and said nothing.
Xie Li looked down at him, stopped for a long time before slowly forcing himself to back away, and sighed in a low voice, "... Come to an adult, monitor, I'm going crazy waiting."
"!" Yu Rui turned his head to look at him, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, he didn't know if he was annoyed or angry.
Xie Li raised his hand to cover his eyes.
Yu Rui froze, "What are you doing?"
"If I can't do you, what else can I do?" Xie Li said in a hoarse voice, with a half-smile, "It's just insurance for you—don't look at me like this at this time, in case I can't hold back, I'll have to endure hardship. It's you."
Yu Rui was so angry that he wanted to kick him, "Xie Li, don't go too far."
Xie Li snorted and laughed, "Well, that's the sound - if you say one more word in this voice, I guess I can't help but push you against the wall and take off your clothes."
Yu Rui bit his lower lip angrily, and forcefully suppressed his words.
Xie Li's eyes deepened a little, "Lip loose."
"… "
"This is also a seduction, squad leader."
"—"
Unable to bear, Yu Rui raised his leg and kicked Xie Li's calf.
There were no muscles there. A kick was always painful, but Xie Li didn't hide. After abruptly carrying it, he laughed hoarsely.
"Well, it's my fault. I think you're trying to seduce me when you take a breath."
Xie Li slowly retracted his hand, looking at the corners of the boy's red eyes, he slowly breathed and suppressed the desire in his chest that he was about to break free.
Xie Li turned back and walked out of the bedroom.
"Borrow the bathroom, monitor."
"… "
Arriving outside the bedroom door, Xie Li suddenly thought of something, he stopped, raised his hand and gestured for the gift book in his hand.
"Do you know why I want your words?"
"...I don't know." The boy stammered.
Xie Li smiled: "Because, the words are like people, monitor."
Yu Rui looked at him inexplicably.
Xie Li went out, "Write on waterproof paper next time."
Yu Rui: "?"
Xie Li grinned, and glanced gloomily at Yu Rui, "This way I want to do something without getting it dirty."
"?"
No one confuses Yu Rui.
Until the bathroom door slammed shut softly.
Standing in the same place, Yu Rui suddenly thought of something, and his face suddenly turned red—
"Are you perverted, Xie Li!"
