Teacher Wei, who is in charge of the rehearsal of the school celebration party, has a famous saying: "I don't take up your vacation time, as long as you rehearse well when it's time to rehearse and ensure efficiency, there will be no problems."
This "policy" made her popular with the students who participated in the performance, but there are also gossip that she did not come to school during the holidays because she had a son who was taking the senior high school entrance examination this year. In order to supervise her son's study at home.
When Ji Mingyue heard the rumors, he was shocked: He had no opportunity to contact this teacher in his previous life. When he saw her for the first time in this life, he still thought she was young and beautiful. It's time for the senior high school entrance examination!
"Actually, it's normal." Someone gossiped, "My mother knows someone from her husband's work unit. I heard that her husband is handsome and has a high salary. People who don’t suffer, are hurt by others, and have no worries, just age slower than ordinary people... "
"oh… "
Ji Mingyue was nodding seriously, but saw the man suddenly change the subject, patted him on the shoulder, and pulled him up: "So, someone like you will definitely be much younger than us in ten years' time. Ha ha ha ha… "
"Get lost!" Ji Mingyue kicked him, "What do you mean by being like me!"
Although the beginning was not so pleasant, but after rehearsing together for a long time, the boys gradually developed a revolutionary friendship. Especially one day they were so bored that they walked around to the main entrance of the gymnasium, specifically to see the donor written on the sign in front of the gate, and it turned out that the surname was really Ji. Since then, they have ridiculed and joked a lot more about Ji Mingyue.
Because the experimental middle school is not a closed dormitory system, many students go home for lunch at noon, so the lunch break is extraordinarily long. If the weather is bad and there is no exercise between classes, school will be dismissed 20 minutes earlier, and the lunch break can last from 11:00 to 1:40 in the afternoon, which is enough for students to eat and sleep well.
There is still a week before the school celebration. For the sake of performance, sometimes they will gather spontaneously and go to the small auditorium to practice for a while during the lunch break. Between rehearsals, I occasionally go to the indoor gymnasium in the south to play basketball and relax.
Because the gymnasium is newly built, it is relatively expensive, and the school generally does not open it except for physical education classes. Because of the privilege of the relatives of the donors, Ji Mingyue has the key of the gymnasium in his hand, and can open the door and "let" them in, but every time he has to accept a bunch of exaggerated and nasty compliments from these straight men, which makes him laugh and hate. Goosebumps all over the place.
They play basketball, Ji Mingyue is generally not good at it, he can actually play basketball, but with his current body, he is really not good enough among this group of big boys, Lin Feng is still watching, he doesn't want to Bring shame on yourself.
He usually sits on the sidelines, helps Lin Feng look at his clothes, fetch water, plays with his phone with his head down, and occasionally watches the tense situation and shouts for cheer.
While playing, someone said with emotion: "I don't expect a girlfriend anymore, it would be nice to find someone as obedient as Ji Mingyue."
The person next to him yelled strangely: "Wori, do you want to be gay? Then you have to ask Lin Fengtong if he agrees first, hahahaha..."
Lin Feng glanced at them, made a fake move with no expression on his face, and broke the ball in the hands of the first speaker in a blink of an eye, turned around, and the basketball hit the net.
"...Obviously." Everyone stopped playing the ball, and pretended to pat the man on the shoulder, "I don't agree."
Sitting next to him, Ji Mingyue, who didn't know what happened, raised his head:
"Wow, the door is actually open at noon?"
Suddenly there was a loud noise at the door, and the door of the gymnasium they had previously concealed was pulled open, and four or five people walked in quickly.
The dress of this group of people is also quite "trendy", not much different from theirs, but the style is a little more "social" - they belong to the more marginal type of students in the school, more or less carrying a Two punishments, no matter how handsome they are, the school leaders dare not use them to participate in official performances. Like Xu Yingying, they do whatever they want in class, and when they don't want to go to class, they wander around the school.
"Damn it, how did you get in? Why did we try all kinds of methods to no avail?" The newcomers marveled at them, "Where did you steal the key from, teach us!"
The boys on their side looked at each other, and cast their eyes on Ji Mingyue at the same time—in front of this group of unstable factors, rashly exposing the fact that "this gymnasium is donated by his family, and he has the key to open the door" may be unreasonable. It would get him into trouble, so everyone tacitly kept silent, waiting for Ji Mingyue's reaction.
Of course, Lin Feng's attention was always on Ji Mingyue. He found that Ji Mingyue's face was ugly from the moment he saw this group of people coming in, and once the group of people dispersed, he could notice that Ji Mingyue's gaze Almost firmly locked on the person in front, his eyes were tense and vigilant.
… know
The person in the front had a black headband tied on his head, his hair was pulled up to reveal his forehead, he was wearing a hip-hop style black and white graffiti sweater on his upper body, and a pair of baggy white jeans on his lower body. It was easy to see that he was the leader of the group.
Lin Feng actually had an impression of him. He was a sophomore in high school and quite famous. Although Experimental High School did not have such a role as a school bully, there were always a few representatives of "bad students".
It's just that it's really hard to imagine how such a person can get in touch with Ji Mingyue...
This person also noticed that they were all looking at Ji Mingyue, with their hands in the pockets of their jeans, and the corners of their mouths were slanted, and they walked over to him and asked, "Did you take the keys?"
Ji Mingyue looked up at him, paused and said, "... Shang Boyu?"
Shang Boyu raised his eyebrows, obviously a little proud: "You know me?"
Although the overall change of this person was very big, his expression when he raised his eyebrows gradually coincided with the face in Ji Mingyue's memory.
When Ji Mingyue was studying in China in his previous life, he had indeed heard of the name "Shang Boyu". It was rumored that he liked to fight, formed an underground band by himself, and had contacts with many people in society. But at that time, Ji Mingyue himself was not a good student, so he heard it and didn't take it to heart.
After he went abroad, he heard his name more and more in the emails with the former classmates: that bastard named Shang Boyu always came to the class to look for Lin Feng; Lin Feng and Shang Boyu went away It's getting closer; I heard that the owner of the bar that Lin Feng went to has a relationship with Shang Boyu; someone saw Lin Feng and Shang Boyu appear together in another city...
The classmate said that since Lin Feng got to know Shang Boyu, he started to be late and cut classes, and when he came to school occasionally, he slept more and more fiercely. At that time, Ji Mingyue could only get in touch with China once in a few months. It was far away from the ocean, and his classmates didn't know what happened to Lin Feng's family, and Ji Mingyue didn't know much more.
He just became more and more disgusted with the name "Shang Boyu" amidst the regrets relayed by his classmates.
He also simply thought that Lin Feng's mind was wild and had been led to ruin. As for what kind of life path Lin Feng wanted to take in life, he had no right to comment.
It wasn't until the news of Lin Feng's death that he hurried back to China that he really learned the whole story at Lin Feng's funeral.
Ji Mingyue stood outside in the corridor all night.
Later, Shang Boyu came over with a cigarette in his mouth, looked at him and asked, "I heard that Lin Feng called you the last call before he died? Did you not receive it?"
Ji Mingyue stood numb and icy all over, looked at him for a long time, then nodded in a daze.
Shang Boyu raised his eyebrows, exhaled a smoke ring, and said, "If he knows what you are like, he will definitely regret it."
Ji Mingyue didn't know whether he said "he must regret it very much" was mocking him for being useless and unable to help Lin Feng, or whether Lin Feng should regret calling him the last call, and he didn't have extra energy to think at that time This question, after a long time, when I calmed down, I started to feel angry with him——
This anger was not because Shang Boyu looked down on him, but: You are the one who led Lin Feng astray, why do you question Lin Feng's final decision
He knew he was venting anger, but he didn't want to be rational and objective at all.
"I don't know." After being reborn, Ji Mingyue didn't feel how mature he had become. Probably the only improvement was that he was calmer than before, "I guess."
He turned his face to the side again, instead of looking at Shang Boyu, he called Lin Feng's name: "Lin Feng, I want to go back."
Lin Feng gave a faint "hmm", bent down and squatted down, and began to pack his things very efficiently.
Some of the boys who were walking with them also looked at their watches and said, "Emma, it's almost time for class so soon, let's go."
"Hey, wait - who of you has the key?" Shang Boyu also confused them, but fortunately he still remembered the thing he wanted to ask the most: how did this group of people get the key and come in
"I have." Ji Mingyue answered, and said in a calm tone, "But I'm about to return it to the teacher, and I can't give it to you. You can stay here whatever you want, and it's none of my business when the teacher sees it."
He doesn't want Lin Feng to have anything to do with Shang Boyu now, no matter if it's close or conflict, so he just let it go and do whatever he wants.
"...All right." Hearing what he said, Shang Boyu reluctantly said, "Then show us the door when you leave, but don't lock it."
Ji Mingyue nodded, pulled Lin Feng with his hand, and the group of them hurried out.
"Ji Mingyue, do you know Shang Boyu?" After they walked out, someone asked as they walked.
Ji Mingyue: "I just heard about it."
"Really? Why do I feel that you are annoying him? Seeing him turn his head and leave, I haven't seen you so fierce before." The man smiled and said, "I heard that he likes 'that', maybe he has molested him before you?"
"You put it..." Ji Mingyue almost blurted out, glanced at Lin Feng beside him, and decided to change the wording to be more elegant, "What nonsense are you talking about? Which one does he like?"
"It's just... he..." the man lowered his voice, looked around and said, "I like to date men... I heard that he often has good-looking men around him, and he changes every two months... Don't tell me , This is generally known by our sophomores."
Although they usually like to joke about Lin Feng and Ji Mingyue coaxing, they are obviously insensitive to the real "homosexuality". Even though the voice of the gossipman was low, Lin Feng could hear it nine out of ten when he was so close. He paused in his footsteps, and couldn't help but glance at Ji Mingyue's face.
He saw Ji Mingyue's eyes widen slightly, and his expression changed in an instant.
Does he... hate this too
What Lin Feng didn't know was that what Ji Mingyue thought of at the moment was another possibility: Lin Feng had been in contact with Shang Boyu for so long in his previous life, and Shang Boyu still mocked him at Lin Feng's funeral. It can't be... Do you have any thoughts on Lin Feng? !
A new person in two months or something... Will Lin Feng's sexuality be disturbed by him? !
Thinking of this, he became more and more determined to keep Lin Feng away from Shang Boyu.
The teaching buildings of each grade are different. After walking a certain distance, the fellow boys dispersed and went back to their respective classes. Ji Mingyue and Lin Feng walked side by side for a while, Ji Mingyue suddenly turned his head and said, "Lin Feng, can you promise me something?"
Lin Feng said "huh?"
"That's right, can you try not to have contact with that person named Shang Boyu?" Ji Ming thought about it more, and then felt that it was too much to ask Lin Feng, so he changed his words, "It's not that you are not allowed to have contact with him , that is, if he comes to you, don't pay too much attention to him, just don't have too much fun with him... "
After the ball, why did he make more concessions the more he talked, the difference between asking and not mentioning it is no different!
Lin Feng said: "Why?"
Ji Mingyue blinked his eyes: "I heard that he always fights, and his relationship is too complicated. The people he knows are mixed, I think...it's not good to have more contact with him."
Hearing this, Lin Feng nodded slightly: "Oh."
Ji Mingyue was a little anxious: "Why is it just one word, oh what does it mean?"
"It's too windy today, so I'm too lazy to talk." Lin Feng smiled, "'Oh' I know, I won't talk to him, and I won't get in touch with him."
"Why are you so obedient..." Ji Mingyue felt a little embarrassed, "I'm not trying to restrict you, but I'm just expressing hope, um, hope..."
"Because I don't know him, and I haven't even spoken to him yet." Lin Feng turned his head, reached out and flicked his forehead, "I think he pays more attention to you than me..."
"If you don't like him, I think it's more useful for you to be nervous first?"
