Under Xie Li's obstruction, Yu Rui and Pei An'an's plan to exchange positions was aborted, and Yu Rui had to stay at Xie Li's front desk.
Fortunately, after the class meeting is the Friday after school. Thinking of not having to see this person or being tortured by his gaze for the next two days, Yu Rui felt that the depression accumulated in his chest had dissipated a lot.
However, it turns out that Yu Rui still thinks about life too well.
Early on Saturday morning, Yu Li routinely took a nap, and Yu Rui sat down at the desk to write papers after having breakfast alone.
He has to do three part-time tutoring jobs on Saturday night and all day on Sunday, and only during the day on Saturday can be used for his studies and family affairs. And today Yu Lusheng is not at home, so he can study by himself in a good environment without going to school.
That's when the phone vibrated.
Yu Rui didn't stop writing in his hand, just raised his head and glanced over. A WeChat message appears on the lit screen.
[patient]: [location]
Yu Rui paused and frowned subconsciously. After two seconds of silence, he turned his head and continued to work on the paper.
[Patient]is a note he gave to someone. At first, he was added as a WeChat friend through his mobile phone number. When Yu Rui set a note like this, he still felt a little uneasy in his conscience. Now...
Recalling the mental torture he suffered in the week since the start of school, Yu Rui sneered. He lowered his head and refocused himself by reviewing the question again.
However, Yu Rui still couldn't concentrate for too long.
After a few seconds, his phone vibrated again.
Yu Rui was annoyed, picked up the phone and prepared to set this person's messages to Do Not Disturb. Then he saw the latest one.
[Patient]: I am surrounded
Yu Rui was stunned.
He looked up at the previous line, which was the position sent by Xie Li. The positioning point is in a high-end Internet cafe called Hee Hee not far from Dezai Middle School.
—Last time Ye Mumu blocked the door in the classroom and invited him to the "new high-end Internet cafe in front of the school".
Yu Rui's face changed slightly. He turned to Xie Li's mobile phone number from the call log from memory and dialed it back.
"Sorry, the phone you dialed is off, please try again later..."
"Sorry, the phone you dialed is off..."
"Sorry, you called..."
The third call hung up, Yu Rui's expression was gloomy, he pushed aside the notebook in front of him, grabbed the jacket on the chair, got up and ran out.
Passing by the living room, Yu Li rubbed her eyes and asked, "Brother, where are you going?"
"I have something to do, come back soon!"
When the words fell, the man had disappeared outside the door.
Yu Li stood there for two seconds and continued to walk to the bathroom.
"It's strange, it's the first time I've seen my brother so frizzy..."
—
There are not many "living people" in the Internet cafes in the early morning. Yu Rui ran in panting, rummaging through the people lying on the chairs or in front of the computer desk, but couldn't find Xie Li.
He could only run to the cashier.
"Hello, have you seen-"
The voice stopped abruptly.
Yu Rui unintentionally scanned the inner area of the checkout counter, and the boy on the sofa was sleeping half-sideways with his long legs bent.
Yu Rui stared at it for a few seconds, his face ashen.
"Thank you, Li."
The person sleeping on the sofa seemed to hear Yu Rui's voice. The slender back moved.
A few seconds later, Xie Li sat up, rubbing his messy hair, and stepped on the ground with his two long legs to support him.
In this Internet cafe with low-temperature air-conditioning, he only wore a T-shirt, and the lines wrapped by the thin clothing were tight and powerful. The open black eyes full of sleepiness choked Yu Rui's figure, like a lion staring at its prey, revealing an aggression that exceeds the age of a high school student.
At this time, Yu Rui was no more gentle than him.
Counting the at least 40 hours he had wasted for this person, Yu Rui felt that he was out of breath.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds.
The air is scorched, electric and flint.
The little brother at the cashier in the middle didn't dare to speak.
Half a minute later, Xie Li was the first to regain his senses from the low air pressure he was awakened by. He turned his head to look at the stiff little brother at the cash register, and pointed at Yu Rui.
"Is anyone standing there?"
"—?" The little brother at the cashier turned his head blankly, and at the same time felt that the body temperature of the half of his body close to Yu Rui dropped by ten degrees again. He could only nod shiveringly, "Brother Li, this should be coming to you."
After two seconds of silence, Xie Li smiled, with dark pupils.
"It wasn't a dream... it really came."
He stood up, threw the coat covering his waist on the sofa, and walked out of the cashier area, "Tell the boss that I'm leaving get off work first."
"Huh? Oh, good."
When Xie Li walked in front of Yu Rui, Yu Rui's anger had been withdrawn without restraint.
Xie Li stopped and lowered his head with a half-smile.
"Squad leader, are you angry?"
Yu Rui didn't speak in a hurry, he waited until his emotions calmed down before raising his head, "What do you want?"
"Um?"
"No one else is here today, let's make it clear and honest. If you have any dissatisfaction with me, feel free to mention it instead of using—" Yu Rui stopped abruptly. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, his eyes flickering with a smile. "Don't use such childish tricks to waste each other's time. We are not elementary school students."
Xie Li stared at Yu Rui's brows silently, until he lowered his head, he laughed hoarsely, "I have no dissatisfaction with you, Mr. monitor."
"..." Yu Rui put away his smile, "Then let's go back to the original question, what do you think, Xie Li?"
"I think," Xie Li laughed, "too many."
"Then say I can do it."
Xie Li frowned suddenly. After a few seconds, he raised his head, his eyes swept over every inch of Yu Rui's appearance deeply and greedily, until Yu Rui was obviously uncomfortable because of this gaze, and frowned even deeper at him.
Xie Li took a long breath silently and laughed again.
"Then, treat me to dinner."
"… "
Yu Rui stared blankly at him for two seconds, then turned and left.
—
The precious Saturday time is not counted as wasting a morning, but also a noon. Thinking about Yu Rui, he wanted to kill the culprit behind him.
The two went around the old downstairs.
Yu Rui heard that there was no movement behind him and turned around. Xie Li stood a few meters behind him, looking at the old building with raised eyebrows.
Yu Rui frowned, "Aren't you going?"
"This is... your house?"
"Um."
"You brought me to your house for dinner?" Xie Li raised his voice at the end.
Yu Rui frowned.
He took into account the possibility that Xie Li would dislike this decision and leave immediately—in fact, this was the result Yu Rui was most looking forward to.
However, judging from the expression and tone of this person at this time, it doesn't look like disgust but closer... Excited
Yu Rui suddenly regretted his decision for no reason.
But things have come to this point, and it is impossible to drive people back. Yu Rui no longer cared about that person, and turned around and walked towards the corridor.
"Keep up. I don't care if I lose it."
All the way upstairs, Xie Li was unexpectedly quiet - Yu Rui originally thought that Xie Li would say something when he saw the environment inside the building.
Stopping outside the door, Yu Rui glanced back at Xie Li and took out the key from his coat pocket to open the door.
Xie Li asked behind him, "You live alone?"
"What's wrong?"
"If so, it would be dangerous to let me in."
Yu Rui turned his head, his eyes were cold, "Are you sure you can beat me?"
Xie Li was silent for two seconds, then snorted, "I can't beat it." He was reluctant.
"..." The corner of Yu Rui's mouth twitched, it might be a mockery or something else. He pushed the door and went in.
Yu Rui's last expression tickled Xie Li's heart. He stood there, looking down, motionless.
Yu Rui walked into the entrance and bowed to change his shoes. The unsuspecting lean back draws a beautiful, powerful arc. The shirt on his upper body was pulled up by the action, revealing a spine or two centimeters slightly raised by the movement and a cold white body on his back.
Xie Li's eyes deepened.
"elder brother!"
"..." The hand that reached out unconsciously stopped, Xie Li raised his eyes, and in the center of the living room opposite the entrance, a girl in a beige skirt was standing uneasily on the old tiles.
Xie Li lowered his hands and raised his eyebrows, "Your sister?"
Yu Rui didn't look back, he straightened up and walked inside, "Didn't you know from the phone call earlier? Xiaoli, this is my brother's classmate. He's having dinner at our house at noon today. You go back to the house to do your homework first, and I'll call you at dinner."
The girl nodded and looked at Xie Li. She was obviously a little afraid of life, and her voice was much lower: "Hello, brother."
Xie Li changed his shoes and entered the door, "Good boy, I don't look like you at all, monitor."
"..." In front of Yu Li, he didn't want to bother with this person, Yu Rui only glanced back at him, but saw that Xie Li took out a rectangular box from nowhere.
The dark blue shell, covered with a layer of short fleece, looks very beautiful.
When Xie Li walked up to Yu Li, he had already opened the box and took out the contents. He crouched down and looked at the girl.
"Little pear? This is the gift your brother asked me to buy for you. Look, do you like it?"
The girl was dumbfounded, as if she didn't respond. It took a few seconds for her to regain her senses, her cheeks flushed, and she looked at the beautiful bracelet uneasily, and then turned to look at Yu Rui.
Yu Rui also recovered.
"Xie Li, you—"
"Didn't we agree on the phone that day?" Xie Li turned around with a half smile.
Yu Rui was stunned.
[I'm sorry for not saying good evening to my sister. I apologize next time I bring her a present.]
[That's my sister, not your sister. And I won't let you see her.]
Speaking of which, he still didn't do it.
Yu Rui staggered his gaze and saw that Yu Li looked at the bracelet and couldn't hide his liking.
He was careless and forgot - Yuri has reached the age where she starts to pay attention to her appearance and appearance, and it is normal to like these things. As a brother, he never seemed to think about it.
Yu Rui sighed softly in his heart, looking at Yu Li's eyes softened.
"Xiao Li can accept it if he likes it, but he has to say thank you to Brother Xie Li."
Yu Li was still a little uneasy, and asked Yu Rui in a low voice, "Can I accept it?"
"Of course." Xie Li picked up the words, and he lifted the girl's thin wrist and helped her put it on.
"Thank you, Brother Xie Li." Yu Lihong fluttered her face.
Xie Li got up, smiled lazily, and looked back at Yu Rui, "Your brother asked me to buy it, thank him."
"… "
When Yu Li returned to her room, Yu Rui looked at Xie Li, "More—"
"Don't ask how much it is, and don't even think about giving it back to me. I bought it on the roadside, I don't remember."
"… When did you buy it?"
"The next day after calling?"
Yu Rui glanced at him with a complicated tone, "You are very confident that I will let you see my sister."
"intuition."
Yu Rui was helpless and turned to go to the kitchen. "Wait in the living room, it won't take long... What are you doing here?"
"A little curious." Xie Li poked his head from behind and looked Yu Rui up and down, "Are you really good at cooking?"
Yu Rui was terrified and wanted to clean up this person, but Nian endured it for Yu Li's rare happiness. He pushed away the hairy head that was too close.
"Otherwise you will come?"
"Tsk." Smelling the long-lost soapy fragrance on the boy, Xie Li couldn't help but laugh a little pervertedly. He took two steps back and leaned against the wall, "So virtuous... Monitor."
Yu Rui was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Yu Rui stood in front of the sink and washed the breakfast dishes. The sleeves of the washed white shirt were rolled up, and the slender and powerful knuckles were concave with fair and beautiful arcs under the water.
Washing and washing, the sound of the water flow softened, and Yu Rui's movements slowed down.
After a few seconds, he stopped and turned off the water.
The boy didn't look up, but his eyes were still down. Under the light from the side of the body, the slender eyelashes are clearly rooted.
The last plate was wiped clean in his hand and put back.
"…Have you seen enough?"
Xie Lishun retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and let out a hoarse low laugh from his throat.
Yu Rui turned his head back, his brows and eyes were icy cold. He picked up a piece of paper towel from the side and wiped the water droplets off his hands.
"You may need to go to the hospital to have your eyes checked."
"… "
"Or the brain."
Xie Li laughed, and when the man passed by him, he leaned over and lowered his head to stop him.
"Doubt I'm sick?"
"No doubt." The young man raised his head, smiled gently, and put a paper towel in his hand.
The clear voice dropped back to freezing point in a second: "I'm sure."
"… "
His face was smeared by the half-wet and half-dry toilet paper, Xie Li not only was not angry, but smiled.
Yu Rui walked past him with a cold face.
Xie Li raised his hand, caught the paper towel that fell in the air, picked it into his palm, and slowly tightened it.
He looked at the slender, slender figure of the young man with a straight back, reflected in the opposite window glass.
After staring for a few seconds, Xie Li smiled again.
With some kind of perverted gnashing of teeth—
"I also think... I'm pretty sick."
