The wind was blowing from Ruan Mingxian's side, and there was a faint smell of sweat, which was not unpleasant. Ruan Mingxian should have just finished exercising, and there were obvious beads of sweat on his neck and arms.
Noticing that Li Erqin twitched his nose forcefully, he sat back a little embarrassedly: "Does it smell a lot of sweat?"
Li Erqin shook his head.
Ruan Mingxian was still explaining: "I sweat more easily."
Li Erqin smiled: "It doesn't smell bad."
Ruan Ming returned to that ruffian look first, and he didn't even bother to open his eyelids: "That's good, I just finished running."
"What project did you sign up for?"
"5000."
"So is Rong Si."
"Oh." Ruan Ming closed his eyes first and covered his eyes with his arms: "How about you? What project did you apply for?"
"The shot put."
Ruan Ming chuckled lightly: "Sports not good?"
"Um."
"So you run every Thursday, and you're all lazy?"
Li Erqin was surprised: "How do you know."
Ruan Ming first closed his eyes, took out the inspection card from his pocket and threw it at his hand: "That time is my inspection."
Li Erqin was even more surprised: "That's why I haven't been arrested?"
Ruan Ming first opened one eye to look at her, and smiled slyly: "Otherwise?"
"Then do you arrest other people?"
Ruan Ming laughed out loud: "No."
"Rong Si is rarely caught."
Ruan Ming sighed first and sat up straight.
"Look, I'll discuss something with you," he pointed to himself and Li Erqin: "When you and I are alone, please don't mention Rong Sixing?"
Li Erqin looked calm: "I can't control it."
Quiet for a few seconds.
Ruan Ming conceded defeat first: "Okay... When I didn't say it."
As frank as Li Erqin, naturally he will not say against his heart: Well, I will try not to mention him.
Ruan Mingxian continued to close his eyes and meditate.
As soon as Ruan Mingxian's sweat was collected, someone from the stand called him, "Axian!"
"Why?" The lazy voice took on the hoarseness of a teenager.
"Someone asked if you wanted to run another lap!"
Ruan Ming didn't change his posture first: "Don't run."
The man glanced at Li Erqin beside him and smiled wickedly: "Just now another female classmate came to bring you water! If you don't go and collect the water, people should be sad!"
Ruan Mingxian laughed helplessly, looked up at Li Erqin's face, and shouted at the people below, "Get out!"
"The slave's house is gone?"
Ruan Ming waved his hand first.
The man disappeared after a few steps.
"Are you good at the shot put?" Ruan Ming rested enough, and the whole person seemed to have some energy: "Do you want me to teach you?"
Li Erqin: "No need."
"real?"
Li Erqin said seriously, "I'm very good at throwing things out."
"?"
Li Erqin explained: "The uncle next door has a large dog. I couldn't run away from it a few years ago. Every time I come home and encounter it outside, I can only throw something to attract him, and then quickly rush into the house."
Ruan Ming laughed first: "What are you missing?"
"Eat, fun."
"How much weight can those weigh?"
Li Erqin pouted, but did not refute.
Ruan Ming made a swallowing motion first, and regretted not following along to get the water. After the feeling of exhaustion just finished running gradually dissipated, I felt fishy and dry in my throat.
"Drinking water?" Li Erqin could see his "pain" at a glance.
Ruan Ming responded repeatedly: "Yes!"
Li Erqin slowly took the water from his bag, and his fingertips touched the mineral water that was still dripping with water. It was cool, and it was originally intended for Rong Si.
He pouted and took it out of his bag: "Here..."
The water in her hand was suddenly drained, and she looked up in surprise.
Rong Si stood behind her, the slanting sunlight shone down from above his head, and the tips of his sweat-drenched hair seemed to hang from stars.
Li Erqin watched him unscrew the bottle cap easily, then raised his head and drank half the bottle of water in one breath.
Backlight, unable to see his expression.
Ruan Ming was first stunned by this sudden scene, and when Rong Si drank the whole bottle of water to the bottom, he said, "Can you leave some for me?"
Rong Si held up the mineral water, glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, raised his head and drank the rest of the water to the fullest.
Ruan Ming was stunned.
There was also Li Erqin who was equally stunned.
Rong Si twisted the bottle cap back into the empty plastic bottle, his expression still light: "I'm sorry, I'm done drinking."
Li Erqin: "..."
Ruan Ming smiled first, provocatively: "I have eyes, I see it."
Rong Si ignored it, sat down, and asked Li Erqin, "Why don't you go down and have a look?"
Li Erqin took the empty bottle that Rong Si kept at hand, and threw it into the bag: "It's good here."
Jonghyun said nothing.
Quiet.
Ruan Ming first stood up with his left hand on the ground: "Li Erqin, I'm leaving."
"goodbye."
Ruan Ming smiled wryly first, but this person really wouldn't hold back: "Come to me to practice shot put. I'm an expert!"
Li Erqin: "Goodbye."
It's kind of a polite refusal.
When Ruan Ming walked away, Rong Si raised his head and leaned against the steps behind him, just like when Ruan Ming sat down, he looked involved. Rong Si's whole body seemed to be pulled out of the water, his chest heaving violently.
It was the first time Li Erqin saw Rong Si's emotional ups and downs, so he stared at him curiously.
Rong Si let out a short laugh, feeling stuffy in his chest: "What are you looking at?"
Li Erqin hurriedly turned his eyes and looked up: "The ceiling."
But Rong Si still closed his eyes, and his breathing was no longer so fast: "What's so beautiful about the ceiling?"
Li Erqin: "There is ashes."
There was no further response from Rong Si.
Li Erqin retracted his gaze and continued to look at Rong Si. After watching for a while, I felt that my face was burning badly, and then I looked away to look at the playground.
New batch of students running on the track, colorful sportswear. There were a few groups of people scattered around the runway, some shouting for refueling and others running slowly to deliver water. On the other side of the track, a group of people practiced high jumps, occasionally bursting with cheers.
As for the young man beside Li Erqin, his breathing gradually eased, and there was no sound at all.
A cool April wind and a small patch of orange sunlight a few centimeters above my head. Time seems to be quietly walking around this small spot of light, slowly and endlessly.
Li Erqin lay down with him, his spine was actually very uncomfortable on the steps, but because Rong Si was lying next to him, it became a completely negligible matter.
She still couldn't help turning her head to look at him, watching the gradually setting sun move the reddish light spots to his face little by little. High nose bridge, pale lips, perfect mandible curve, and increasingly obvious Adam's apple.
-Eh.
- Rong Si.
-like you.
-I like you.
For someone as small as Li Erqin, such a relationship that is closer than ordinary friends, such a chance to lie beside Rong Si silently and say what he likes in his heart, is already extremely satisfying.
Satisfaction is like stealing a candy, sweet to the heart.
***
The cool breeze in April is still too cold.
Rong Si has a cold.
After sweating all over and falling asleep in a stand with too good ventilation, there is probably no other possibility other than catching a cold.
After Rong Si got up in the morning, he always felt a little top-heavy and his limbs were extremely sore. He just thought it was caused by excessive exercise the day before and didn't care.
When Peng Zige asked him with a frown, "A Si, why are you so nasal?", he only thought that his nose was short of breath.
In the middle of the morning class, he was sweating from cold to hot, and even the hand holding the pen was sweating.
Peng Zige noticed that something was wrong with Rong Si, and when he turned his head to look at Rong Si, what he saw was a sweaty and pale Rong Si.
"Fuck! Ah Si!" He whispered, "What's the matter with you?"
Peng Zige's voice was not small, which quickly attracted the attention of Li Erqin and Su Zi.
They both turned back together.
Even they noticed it, but Rong Si didn't hear it.
"A Si?" Peng Zige whispered his name again.
Rong Si slowly and slowly turned his head.
Peng Zige frowned, "Aren't you feeling well?"
Rong Si opened his mouth, his nasal voice was heavier and his voice hoarse: "Well."
Peng Zige immediately raised his hand: "Teacher!"
The history teacher who was lecturing stopped writing on the blackboard: "What's wrong?"
"Rong Si seems to be sick."
The teacher put down the book and walked from the podium table to Rong Si's side. After observing Rong Si's face, he reached out to test the temperature of Rong Si's forehead. As soon as he touched Rong Si's forehead, he frowned: "I have a fever, Peng Zige, take him to the infirmary."
high fever.
Li Erqin and Su Zi went directly to the infirmary after class at noon.
Rong Si was still taking the needle, lying quietly on the single bed next to the infirmary.
Su Zi asked Peng Zige, who had been taking care of him beside her, in an angry voice, "How is Rong Si?"
Peng Zige also whispered: "Fever, 39 degrees 8."
Li Erqin and Su Zi showed shocked expressions at the same time.
Li Erqin: "How much do you love to study when your fever is so high and you insist on taking classes?"
Su Zi: "Should you not realize that you have a fever?"
Li Erqin was even more surprised: "I don't know if I have a fever?"
Peng Zige and Su Zi were speechless at the same time.
The three of them had nothing else to help, they could only sit quietly beside the bed and accompany Rong Si. Halfway through, Peng Zige went out to buy bread and came back, which was counted as lunch.
After Rong Si finished the last bottle of drip, Peng Zige went to the school doctor in the infirmary to pull out the needle.
While pulling out the needle, the school doctor observed the little boys and girls who were waiting beside him. His eyes swept across Li Erqin's face and frowned, "Are you also having a fever?"
"Me?" Li Erqin pointed to himself.
The school doctor pulled out the needle, put the hemostatic tape on the back of Rong Si's hand, and said to Li Erqin, "Yes, it's you."
Li Erqin shook his head: "No."
The school doctor stood up, without any unnecessary nonsense: "Come and take my temperature."
A few minutes later, Li Erqin lay on the bed next to Rong Si. The cold salt water flowed into the body drop by drop along the slender transparent plastic tube, and the entire forearm was cold and slightly numb.
Although Li Erqin was ill, Peng Zige couldn't help laughing at her: "Who said that Ah Si had a fever just now and didn't know?"
Li Erqin: "Me."
Su Zi was amused: "Aren't you uncomfortable?"
"No."
Peng Zige looked at Rong Si, who was still sleeping, and then looked at Li Erqin, who was lying on the bed staring at the ceiling.
Li Erqin did not change his face: "Sleep."
"Are you poisonous?"
Li Erqin pouted: "Rong Si seems to be sleeping very comfortably."
Su Zi was still having fun: "So are you comfortable?"
"Your back hurts on the steps."
Su Zi and Peng Zige looked at each other, and each smiled and bent over.
Because Rong Si was still sleeping, their laughter was not loud, but this pure happiness was so obvious that it didn't contain any impurities.
