Lu Hao confessed to Chen Xingze at the end of the second semester, and the process was very tortuous.
The cause is still You Xiaolin.
When Wu Xingzhi went to perform in Germany before, he brought back a Pelikan pen for Chen Xingze, with a milky white tail and a translucent golden body, Chen Xingze thought it looked very good. He himself doesn't use pens very often, so he gave it to You Xiaolin as a birthday present.
As a result, this pen caused a problem.
Qin Bo lost the mock exam to You Xiaolin. He held a grudge in his heart. He complained to the school about biting the pen and asked the school to cancel You Xiaolin's qualification as a poor student.
"There are other students in the class who need help. Why should you give a student aid place to a person who uses a pen worth more than one thousand yuan?"
The teacher also asked about You Xiaolin's pen, and You Xiaolin said it was given by a friend.
The teacher said: "Then try not to bring it to school, it will have a bad impact."
But You Xiaolin, who used to be very good, didn't listen to the teacher this time. Although he no longer took it out in front of his classmates, You Xiaolin still carried the pen close to him. At first, it was nothing, but Qin Bo somehow found out about it. After class, he blocked You Xiaolin in the corridor and pulled out the pen from his pocket.
Qin Bo raised the pen high, ignoring the gazes of the surrounding classmates, and said to You Xiaolin, "Are you still carrying it?"
You Xiaolin stared at him, "Give it back to me."
Qin Bo: "It's weird, how can the school sponsor someone who is so vain?"
You Xiaolin's face was pale, "Give it back to me!"
Qin Bo's eyes were cold, "To be a poor student, you must look like a poor student."
The classmates who were watching the excitement formed a circle and whispered. You Xiaolin's lips turned blue, but he still persisted without flinching.
"Give me back the pen!"
Qin Bo: "Don't look at me like that. People will think I'm bullying you. Then let's go to the teacher's place to talk about it. I'll also seek justice for the other students."
"What is this for?"
In the stalemate, a lazy voice came, everyone turned around, Lu Hao just finished playing and came back from outside.
"If you have something to talk about elsewhere, don't block the corridor."
After a semester of Kung Fu, Lu Hao grew taller again. In addition, he likes sports and has a sturdy physique. The thin school uniform sticks to his body because of sweat, revealing the outline of his muscles.
Lu Hao is handsome, has a wealthy family, and has a good personality. Not long ago, he led his class to win the basketball championship. It can be said that everyone in the school knows it. The classmates made way for him. Lu Hao saw You Xiaolin who was pale in the crowd, his mouth twitched in reflex, and he walked over.
When passing by Qin Bo, Lu Hao took the pen from his hand.
"Don't meddle in your own business." Qin Bo warned Lu Hao.
"What are you nervous about? Everyone said it was given by a friend."
"so what?"
Lu Hao said with a smile: "Why, you like it, I will give you one if you like it, and you can choose the model."
The onlookers were amused, Qin Bo's face was cold, he didn't want to have a conflict with a school figure like Lu Hao, so he turned and walked away with a cold snort. The crowd gradually dispersed. Lu Hao returned the pen to You Xiaolin.
"Thank you." You Xiaolin thanked in a low voice, but Lu Hao didn't answer, and the atmosphere between the two was a bit awkward.
For You Xiaolin, Lu Hao has always held very complicated emotions. He looked at the pen and said casually, "Chen Xingze sent it."
You Xiaolin: "Yeah."
Lu Hao: "Qin Bo has too many things to do, so don't bring it to school."
You Xiaolin: "I took it with me. I didn't expect him to flip it like this. I'll pay attention next time."
Lu Hao felt that he and You Xiaolin had nothing to say. He walked past and planned to leave, but after taking two steps, he still felt a little concerned. He turned around and asked, "Have you always carried the pen with you?"
You Xiaolin didn't know why he asked such a question, and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Lu Hao hesitated, "Nothing..."
Seeing that he had nothing to say, You Xiaolin left.
Lu Hao was so upset in his heart that he scratched his head vigorously. It happened that Chen Xingze came back from the bathroom, saw Lu Hao scratching his head, and joked, "Have you not washed your hair for a few days?"
When he saw Chen Xingze, Lu Hao could find an outlet and shoved the basketball towards him. Poor Chen Xingze's freshly washed hands were full of ashes before they were wiped clean.
"What are you doing?"
If eyes can kill, Chen Xingze feels that he has died 10,000 times.
Lu Hao glared at him fiercely and went back to the classroom.
Chen Xingze was dumbfounded.
Later, a classmate in the class told him what happened in the corridor, and Chen Xingze almost turned his back.
"That shit!" Chen Xingze immediately went to Qin Bo to settle the account. The classmates advised him, "Forget it, Qin Bo is famous for being careful, and whoever has better grades than him, he will find someone else."
Chen Xingze: "Is that what he said is human?"
Classmate: "Xie Qi, do you still bite back when the dog bites you?"
Chen Xingze: "I won't bite back..."
Classmate: "That's right."
Chen Xingze: "But I can break his dog's leg."
classmate:"… "
While Chen Xingze was burning with anger, Lu Hao snorted coldly beside him. Chen Xingze suddenly remembered that Lu Hao helped You Xiaolin out of the siege, and thanked him in the past. I didn't expect that it would be fine if I didn't thank him, but Lu Hao's face became even more stinky when he thanked him.
Because Lu Hao's temper was so violent this time, Chen Xingze didn't have the energy to think about how to take revenge on Qin Bo. In the next two days, Lu Hao had a cold war with Chen Xingze. Chen Xingze tried every means to coax him, but it didn't work.
On the third day, Chen Xingze changed his strategy. If Lu Hao didn't look for him, he wouldn't look for Lu Hao. At the end of the day, Lu Hao's face was getting darker and darker. When school was over at night, Chen Xingze deliberately left early for a while, but was caught up by Lu Hao and blocked in front of Taolin.
The summer is long, and the sky is still light blue when school is over. The insects in the bushes flap their wings and make the leaves rustled.
"What do you mean?" Lu Hao asked Chen Xingze.
Chen Xingze tilted his head slightly to look at him, "What do you mean, aren't you not talking to me?"
Lu Hao blushed with anger, "Chen Xingze!"
Chen Xingze: "Why?"
Lu Hao: "Don't bully people too much!"
Chen Xingze: "..."
how do I say this.
After Lu Hao shouted this sentence, he felt unbearable and turned to leave. Chen Xingze patiently went over to pull him, "Okay, don't be angry..." He pulled Lu Hao's shoulder and froze for a moment. Tears welled up in Lu Hao's eyes, but he was holding it back, but when Chen Xingze saw it, it burst out instantly.
Chen Xingze said in surprise: "What's the matter... Why did you cry? I was just joking. I ignored you. Didn't I coax you for two days before?"
Lu Hao: "If he is angry, you will only coax him for two days?"
Chen Xingze naturally knew who Lu Hao was referring to by "he".
Lu Hao: "If You Xiaolin is angry, you'll have to apologize behind your ass for 24 hours!"
Chen Xingze frowned, "What do you always compare to him?"
"You don't know why I compare to him?" Lu Hao became more and more angry, and his voice became louder and louder, almost roaring in the end. "You really don't know why I compare with him?! Chen Xingze, you have the guts to ask again!"
Chen Xingze was silent, he was a little afraid to look at Lu Hao.
Seeing him like this, Lu Hao sneered.
"Go on and play stupid."
Disapprove.
Chen Xingze felt that it was not the way to go on like this, so he went to Lu Hao the next day.
"Let's have a good talk."
Taking advantage of their spare time in the afternoon, they found an empty study room on the first floor. Chen Xingze closed the door, and Lu Hao sat by the window and looked out.
In the afternoon, the sun was full, and the classroom was languid. Lu Hao was lying on the table like he usually sleeps in the classroom, his face facing the outdoor basketball court.
Chen Xingze walked up to him, and just as he was about to speak, Lu Hao took the lead—
"I like you."
He spoke very calmly, the voice mixed into the sunlight, into the chirping of insects, into the scramble on the court, like a fake.
Chen Xingze, who was usually eloquent and eloquent, suddenly became mute.
Lu Hao turned his head, leaned on the table, looked at Chen Xingze, and smiled.
"What's the matter, are you scared?"
"Lu Hao..."
"Um?"
Chen Xingze didn't know what to say, Lu Hao slowly straightened up.
"What about the answer? I just confessed to you. What do you think, you should give me an answer, right?"
Chen Xingze couldn't understand the situation at all.
"why?"
"what why?"
"Why are you confessing to me..."
"Why is this, I like you and want to be with you, so I confessed."
"are you gay?"
"No." Lu Hao said without hesitation, "I just like you."
Chen Xingze didn't reply to Lu Hao that day. He briefly lost his ability to express himself, and he couldn't say a word of the big truth he had thought up in advance. Lu Hao didn't force him, and gave him time to think about it.
Chen Xingze lost sleep that night.
He tossed and turned until the early hours of the morning, and in the end he couldn't help it, so he sent a text message to Mi Sheng, and was reprimanded.
Something seemed to have happened on Mi Sheng's side. Chen Xingze no longer only thought about himself, he apologized to Mi Sheng and called him the money he had saved, hoping to help him tide over the difficulties. The next day, Chen Xingze talked to Mi Sheng on the phone, but Lu Hao caught him. Chen Xingze hung up in a hurry, and Lu Hao questioned him with dark circles under his eyes, "Who are you calling on the phone! You're still smiling!"
Chen Xingze: "...No one."
It didn't matter, Lu Hao appeared in front of him like a palace image.
After two days of embarrassment, Chen Xingze asked Mi Sheng for his opinion on the matter. After that phone call, Mi Sheng's attitude towards Chen Xingze was much kinder, and this time he replied to him very seriously.
- I've known some straight men before, who had impulses towards same-sex on a whim when they were young, but it slowly changed after they entered the society. People who are not in this world will eventually leave, and they will choose women sooner or later. Don't feel that you are special, if you promise him for a moment of pleasure, you will be peeled off in the future.
In fact, Chen Xingze had long understood what Mi Sheng was saying, and deep down in his heart, he hoped that Mi Sheng could give him another answer.
"The adults are so mature..."
Chen Xingze looked at Mi Sheng's reply and smiled bitterly. He didn't even have the strength to say thank you, and fell on the bed. He always thinks of the scene when Lu Hao confessed to him, the sunshine, the campus, the voices on the basketball court... He seems to have made that memory into a GIF, and replays it in his mind over and over again, the more he replays, the more uncomfortable it becomes, as if his heart, liver, spleen and stomach All emptied.
