Xu Ce found out that he liked Jiang Shaoqing, probably during the winter vacation of his second year of high school.
The key middle schools require the students of the second year of senior high school to make up classes collectively during the winter vacation. Although Xu Ce is very unhappy, he has to go to school on time. He can do many topics taught by the teacher. The dry grass classroom teaching makes him feel very boring, and he likes it when he is bored. have a bee in one's bonnet…
Thinking about it, his eyes involuntarily placed his eyes on Jiang Shaoqing who was listening carefully beside him.
Except for Jiang Shaoqing's habitual nap due to lack of sleep in the first class in the morning, he listened very carefully in other classes. The handwriting is correct, and the notes taken are as if they were printed.
Xu Ce was curious about what he was memorizing, so he took it over after class and frowned when he saw the notes: "You have to write down something so simple? This is the most commonly used formula, and it's in the book. Physics is not just rote memorization, you have to do more questions and keep formulas in your mind, do you understand?"
Jiang Shaoqing: "..."
When Xu Ce said this, Jiang Shaoqing blushed embarrassedly and felt a little sad. He lowered his head and said, "I'm not as smart as you, and stupid people have to use stupid methods. I can only memorize the formula like this, otherwise the formula Too many I can't remember..."
Jiang Shaoqing took the notebook back from Xu Ce's hand and silently stuffed it into his schoolbag.
Xu Ce's throat choked, and he realized that his tone was too heavy just now. It was obviously good intentions, and he wanted to teach him physics, but the words turned into ridicule. He looked at Jiang Shaoqing with his head down and sad. , Xu Ce angrily tore off a piece of paper and said, "I didn't mean that..."
Jiang Shaoqing lowered his head and did not speak, obviously his self-esteem was hurt. Xu Ce wanted to reach out and touch his hair, but there were so many students around him, so he could only forcibly hold back.
He found that his eyes would always be on Jiang Shaoqing's body, and his every move at the same table could touch his sensitive nerves. During the whole vacation, Xu Ce's mind was not on the classroom at all. It has always been Jiang Shaoqing's shadow...
It wasn't until Jiang Shaoqing foolishly helped the girl in the next class send him a love letter that Xu Ce was furious and found out that... he liked Shaoqing.
Xu Ce's character is inherently rebellious, and he ignores the tangled situation that most people find it difficult to fall in love with a boy. In his opinion, liking means liking, and it doesn't hinder others, just as he doesn't care what happens behind the back of his classmates. Like him, he didn't care that he actually fell in love with his roommate.
Jiang Shaoqing clearly felt that Xu Ce's attitude towards him was much better. With Xu Ce's help, Jiang Shaoqing's performance improved a lot. At the end of the make-up class, the whole-level unified examination was completed. With a score of 100, Jiang Shaoqing actually scored 80 points in the physics test. The physics teachers praised him for his rapid progress.
On the day after the exam, Jiang Shaoqing said in a good mood, "Xu Ce, let me invite you to dinner. My grades have improved so quickly, thanks to your teaching me."
Xu Ce was a little excited, but on the surface he pretended to be calm and said, "Can I go to your house?"
Jiang Shaoqing thought for a while, then said, "It's okay to go to my house. My parents are on a business trip. Let's go back to eat hot pot."
So, the two teenagers bought hot pot condiments and various meatballs and vegetables from the supermarket, and came to Jiang Shaoqing's house together.
The conditions of Jiang Shaoqing's house were naturally incomparable to Xu Ce's. It was an ordinary civilian family, with three bedrooms and one living room, a room for his parents, a room for Shaoqing, and a small study. It was clean and warm. He asked Xu Ce to sit down on the sofa. After he got home, he went to work in the kitchen with his apron around him. He quickly prepared the hot pot base and asked Xu Ce to eat in the restaurant.
The two had a hot pot face-to-face, and that meal was the warmest dinner Xu Ce had eaten in a whole year.
After the meal, Jiang Shaoqing sent Xu Ce downstairs. Xu Ce packed two unfinished spareribs and saw a familiar stray dog outside the community. It was the dog that Xu Ce rescued once before, and he obviously knew it. When Xu Ce saw Xu Ce, he wagged his tail and ran towards him.
Xu Ce didn't think it was dirty either. He squatted down and touched its head lightly, and asked, "JOJO, have you eaten today? I've brought you something to eat."
After saying that, I threw all the spare ribs that were not eaten and packed to it.
The puppy immediately rushed over to eat, and was very happy to eat. Jiang Shaoqing looked at the scene and said with some doubts: "You even gave it a name?"
Xu Ce said, "I live at my second uncle's house, so it is inconvenient to take it back to raise it, so I gave it a random name, hoping that kindhearted people can take it in."
Jiang Shaoqing also came over and said, "What is it called? I didn't hear it clearly just now."
Xu Ce said, "It's called JOJO."
Jiang Shaoqing wondered, "Zhou?"
Xu Ce said, "It's JOJO, the English name."
Jiang Shaoqing repeated it, and when the puppy heard his name, he raised his head and looked at him with wet eyes.
"It's cute." Jiang Shaoqing couldn't help laughing, reached out and touched its head.
Xu Ce looked at Jiang Shaoqing's smile, and his heart suddenly moved, and he whispered: "What you called just now is wrong, your pronunciation is wrong, your tongue is going up, like this..."
The moment he was gently kissed, Jiang Shaoqing was completely dumbfounded.
The boy's tongue gently stuck into his mouth, as if he was correcting his English pronunciation, and gently rolled up his tongue. Jiang Shaoqing stood there in a daze, watching Xu Ce's mind go blank until Xu Ce changed his mind. He withdrew from his mouth and said in a low voice, "Do you understand?"
"Uh..." Is there such a thing as teaching people to pronounce it? Jiang Shaoqing couldn't help blushing.
However, Xu Ce looked as if nothing had happened. After the kiss, he turned his head and stood up and said, "Just send it here, you can go back."
Jiang Shaoqing touched his lips embarrassedly, nodded, and turned to go home.
Xu Ce has always acted spontaneously, often surprising people. Jiang Shaoqing didn't think much about it, he just thought that Xu Ce was joking with him. He quickly ignored the awkwardness in his heart and returned home to continue taking the English test paper.
However, Xu Ce stood there, his heart beating like a drum, and he watched Jiang Shaoqing's back disappear at the end of the street.
In fact, he was embarrassed. After the kiss, he felt that he was too bold, but he would not admit that he was shy at that moment.
The kiss was one touch, and there was still a taste of youthful youth on his lips. Jiang Shaoqing's soft tongue and warm mouth, although it was only a momentary contact, was deeply imprinted in Xu Ce's mind— It was his first kiss and he will never forget it.
Later, the puppy was adopted by a kind person, and the cruel college entrance examination was getting closer.
Xu Ce never confessed because he didn't want to affect Jiang Shaoqing's examination status. During that time, Jiang Shaoqing worked day and night on the questions, and his whole body was drowned in the ocean of question banks, and he had no mood to think about it at all. For other things, Xu Ce also had to cooperate with his parents to apply for a foreign visa and prepare to go abroad after graduation.
There were too many messy things, and the college entrance examination was over in a blink of an eye. On the day after the application, Xu Ce told Jiang Shaoqing that he was going abroad. Jiang Shaoqing replied, "That's good, there are more opportunities abroad. The educational environment is also good…”
Xu Ce was silent and did not speak.
He tossed and turned for Jiang Shaoqing, sleepless day and night, but Jiang Shaoqing didn't give up on him at all.
It turned out that this was just wishful thinking, self-indulgent.
Later, Xu Ce went abroad to study and raised a dog abroad. He bought this dog because the little guy looked very much like the stray dog he rescued back then. He also took it as a souvenir. His name is JOJO. Unexpectedly, JOJO grows up and becomes more majestic as he grows up. He often dangles around his owner with his tail raised. The appearance of people's love.
Unfortunately, for Xu Ce, all the unforgettable memories for Jiang Shaoqing were nothing more than an irrelevant past in his youth.
***
At this moment, seeing the surprised look on the face of the person who had liked him for many years, Xu Ce suddenly felt a strong sense of frustration.
In fact, he is a very affectionate person. His eyes are higher than the top and he will not easily be tempted, so once he is tempted, it will be difficult to change. After so many years, he has been unable to let go of Jiang Shaoqing, but since Jiang Shaoqing didn't mean that to him at all, Xu Ce didn't want to abandon his pride and stalk him. Such a posture was too ugly and did not fit his Xu Ce style.
Speaking of all this today, he didn't have any hope at all. He just broke the jar and threw a showdown with Jiang Shaoqing. The result was already in his expectations.
It's just that I'm a little sad...
Xu Ce took a deep breath, looked away from Jiang Shaoqing's face, and silently packed his suitcase.
Looking at the back of the man with his head down and packing his clothes, Jiang Shaoqing suddenly felt a little distressed, but he didn't know what to do. He really had no idea of surpassing his friends with Xu Ce, and it was impossible to agree to be with Xu Ce, but Watching Xu Ce leave, he was inexplicably reluctant to bear...
Jiang Shaoqing stood there in a conflicted mood. Seeing that Xu Ce quickly packed his things and turned to leave with his suitcase, Jiang Shaoqing hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and said anxiously, "You, you just left like this. , what should the team do?"
Xu Ce: "..."
- Sure enough, he only had the team in his heart, never Xu Ce.
Xu Ce clenched his fist tightly and said, "Liu Chuan will make arrangements for the team's affairs, you can rest assured."
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Jiang Shaoqing opened the door and saw that Liu Chuan and Lan Weiran were standing at the door together. Obviously, the captain and vice-captain had something to explain. The two let in.
As soon as Liu Chuan entered the door, he was very surprised when he saw Xu Ce carrying a suitcase and was about to leave: "Yo, what is this for? It's not because I scolded you just now, you can't stand it, you have to get angry and leave. ?"
Xu Ce: "..."
Lan Weiran rolled his eyes at Liu Chuan: "Don't be rude, you forgot how many newcomers in Huaxia were scolded and cried by you back then? Su Shilun will be willing to bow down to you if you are so poisonous."
Liu Chuan smiled and touched his chin: "As the captain, I can only be a bad guy. I train you all so that our team can go further in the future. I have no ill intentions towards anyone, only things and people. Xu Please don't take it to heart!"
Xu Ce: "..."
He intends to leave, not because of Liu Chuan's training him, but because of Jiang Shaoqing, he doesn't want to stay to affect Shaoqing. As a result, when the captain and vice-captain came, his actions were understood as being angry after being reprimanded by the captain.
Xu Ce said in a low voice, "It has nothing to do with you, I want to leave by myself." After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Shaoqing.
Jiang Shaoqing said with an embarrassed expression, "Captain, Xu Ce he... He has something to do at home and wants to take a leave of absence temporarily."
Liu Chuan was surprised: "Is there something wrong at home? Is it serious?"
"..." Seeing Shang Jiang Shaoqing's pleading gaze, Xu Ce had no choice but to press the truth back into his stomach. Besides, there was no need for Liu Chuan and the others to know everything he liked about Shaoqing, but it made Jiang Shaoqing embarrassed.
Xu Ce had to find an excuse to say, "There is something urgent at home that needs me to handle. Anyway, I don't have to play in the next game, it doesn't matter if I leave the team?"
Liu Chuan nodded: "If you really have something to do, you can take a leave of absence, but after the city game, you must return to the team immediately."
Xu Ce: "..."
Liu Chuan looked at him suspiciously: "What, is there a problem?"
"Let's talk later." Xu Ce frowned and said, "I'll go first."
After saying that, he turned around and left the room with his suitcase in hand.
Looking at Xu Ce's tall back when he turned to leave, Jiang Shaoqing's nose couldn't help but feel a little sour.
- He left like this, will he come back in the future
When he thought that he would never come back, Jiang Shaoqing felt as if his heart was being restrained by a thin thread. The pain was so severe that it even became difficult to breathe.
