Summer in Nancheng is like stuffing people in a steamer. Even if the barbecue restaurant installs a few big fans whirring above the customers, it still can't get rid of the dryness in the air.
Sitting in it, Yu Fan felt that a basin of ice water had been splashed all over his face, and the surroundings suddenly became cold.
Yu Kaiming is back. Yu Kaiming is nearby. Yu Kaiming was looking at him.
Every cognition is stimulating Yu Fan's nerves. His shoulders and neck stiffened unconsciously, and his eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly, but he still couldn't find that familiar and annoying face.
Why give him something? What did Yu Kaiming see? He and Chen Jingshen... did they do anything just now
Yu Fan didn't know how ugly his face was now.
Chen Jingshen looked at him silently for a while, and reached out to touch his tense fingertips, but just after touching them, the other party immediately withdrew his hand as if being electrocuted.
Yu Fan moved faster than his brain. He was stunned for a while before he raised his head to look into Chen Jingshen's eyes.
"... My hands are oily." Yu Fan recovered his voice. His face quickly returned to normal, and he turned his eyes away and asked, "Are you full?"
"Um."
"Then let's go." Yu Fan picked up the last iron plate that the proprietress sent over, lifted it to the trash can and flipped it over, and a few strings of chicken wings fell into the black plastic bag with a rustle.
Back in the old community, Yu Fan looked up and saw that the lights were on. The lamp in the living room is old and can be used for lighting, but it will damage the eyes if left for a long time, and the lingering light gives people a sense of depression and discomfort.
Walking to the gate of the community, Chen Jingshen's clothes were grabbed by the people behind him.
"Don't go up." Yu Fan lowered his eyes and didn't look at him, "Wait here for me, I'll get your paper down."
"Together." Chen Jingshen said.
"I told you to just wait."
After Yu Fan finished speaking, he turned to leave. Chen Jingshen reached out to hold him, thought of his reaction just now, paused, and went up to hold his arm.
"I'll go up with you," Chen Jingshen said, "I'll wait for you outside the door."
Although Yu Fan never mentioned his relationship with his family, Chen Jingshen can roughly guess.
Chen Jingshen didn't understand, but Yu Fan turned to look at him bluntly: "No, I was scared of him last time, and he hasn't dared to mess with me recently. You wait here, don't wander around."
When Yu Fan opened the door and entered the room, Yu Kaiming was sitting on the sofa, smoking and talking on the phone.
Yu Kaiming glanced at him, then turned his head to watch TV again, and said cheerfully: "Yes, I just got home. Fuck it! I told you to bet with me on that game, you must listen! Now blame Lao Tzu - do it, I will make you rich next time..."
Yu Fan didn't even look at him, and went straight into his room.
Their pattern of getting along seems to have settled down. After each fight, Yu Kaiming would leave home for a short time to give the two of them time to calm down and recover, and when they came back, they would regard each other as air as usual. They waited silently and lifelessly for the next bomb detonation.
The relationship between him and Yu Kaiming is like a scar that will never heal, it will crack when it scabs over, and it will be closed after a bloody patch. Yu Fan had always chosen to ignore it before, and he waited on his own accord, waiting for this scar to completely necrosis and disappear one day.
But now he no longer wants to rot away with this scar.
Yu Fan had no expression on his face from the time he left the barbecue shop to when he entered the house and returned to his room. But his heart was beating faster than usual along the way.
Fortunately, Yu Kaiming probably didn't see anything he couldn't see, otherwise he couldn't be so peaceful.
He rested his hands on the table for two minutes, and after carefully hiding some things, he grabbed Chen Jingshen's test paper and turned to go downstairs.
Yu Kaiming rested his feet on the coffee table, talking on the phone with a nonchalant face. As soon as the door was closed, his eyeballs turned away immediately, staring at the closed door for a while.
It wasn't until there was an inquiry on the phone that he closed his eyes and slowly stood up from the sofa.
"Yes, my cheap son went out... It's not noisy, I don't want to argue with him, the dog is so fucking hard, I'm going to be beaten to death by him someday, I have to get more money from that watch this month medical bills."
Yu Kaiming went to the living room window and looked down. The street lights in the old neighborhood were dim, and he saw his son walk up to the boy who was in the barbecue restaurant before, and pass the test paper over.
"You also restrain your temper, and if you don't say a few words to him, how much injury can you avoid? Be careful to piss off your son, and you won't be given a pension when he grows up." The person on the phone said, "It's the rebellious period, you bear it." Forbearance, you will be obedient in the past few years."
"I'm not good enough for him? I took him to KFC when he was seven years old, and I ordered two skewers of chicken wings for him and his friend just now. I don't think it's because of the rebellious period. This dog is very wild... But it’s really better recently, I think he seems to be studying, and he also made a friend who seems to be quite obedient.”
Yu Kaiming's eyes focused on the tall and thin boy downstairs, and he was quiet for a moment before continuing: "His friend looks quite rich."
Downstairs in the old community, Yu Fan stuffed the test paper into Chen Jingshen's hand and told him not to come here for a while.
After Chen Jingshen made sure that he didn't do anything upstairs, he said, "Go to my house."
"No."
"Then where shall we meet?"
Yu Fan was silent for a while, then choked out a sentence: "See you at the beginning of school."
"..."
Having said that, Yu Fan went home and took a nap. After being completely freed from his emotions, the first thing he did when he woke up was to endure sleepiness and use his mobile phone to search for places that he could take Chen Jingshen to.
When he passed all the cinema, playground, ktv video game city, etc., Chen Jingshen sent a message.
[S: I was downstairs at your house and woke up.]
Yu Fan squinted his eyes and stared at this line of words for a long time, then suddenly woke up! He jumped up from the bed, typing while changing clothes.
[-: Didn't I fucking say that you are not allowed to come over! !]
[-: Wait, I just woke up]
[s: So I didn't go in.]
[s: Bring the test paper.]
As soon as Yu Fan was dragged into the taxi by Chen Jingshen, he had an extra breakfast in his hand. Sandwiches and milk.
Chen Jingshen said: "Try it, I don't like to take you to eat something else."
Yu Fan opened the bag and took a bite, and found that Chen Jingshen was still looking at him, frowned and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Chen Jingshen asked: "Is it delicious?"
"improvise."
"Oh. I made it myself."
"Unpalatable."
Chen Jingshen turned his face away with a smile.
Yu Fan took another bite of the sandwich, his mind still dizzy from sleepiness. This is for a date? Ten in the morning? What does it mean to bring a test paper? After the appointment, make a set of test papers by the way
It's not that Chen Jingshen can't do such a thing.
The car stopped, and Yu Fan stood in front of the majestic provincial library and was silent for two seconds before turning around and going back to the car.
Chen Jingshen brought him back: "Where are you going?"
"Go home and sleep." Yu Fan said with a dull face, his eyes under his messy hair were still a little swollen from sleep, "Chen Jingshen, do you think I am suitable for this kind of place?"
"Why not?" Chen Jingshen said, "You are the top 500 in your grade."
"roll."
Chen Jingshen raised his arm and rubbed his hair: "You are the first-grade boyfriend."
"..."
Ten minutes later, Yu Fan was wearing a black skull short t-shirt, with two band-aids covering hickey marks on his neck, and sat unhappily under the sunlight shining in from the transparent glass in the study room of the library.
There were not many people in the study room chosen by Chen Jingshen, they were all in pairs, and they sat on the left and right side of them.
They sat in the last row, Yu Fan flattened the crumpled test paper stuffed in his pocket, and Chen Jingshen deftly took a pen from the pencil case and put it on his test paper.
"Do it first, and if there is any noise, then switch to another study room." Chen Jingshen said, "If you don't know the questions, leave them blank."
Yu Fan looked at the four people other than them and didn't realize it. Isn't the library not allowed to speak? Why are you noisy
Soon he will know.
Not long after he sat down, the pair of boys and girls on his left had already started to touch my hand, and I touched your head, their faces were so close to each other.
Soon, the pair on the right also made a sound, and the content of the conversation was probably "Baby, are you hungry or cold?", "The boy behind the baby looks so scary", "Baby, don't be afraid that there is a baby."
Yu Fan stared at the test paper expressionlessly, thinking to get the hell out, I'm much more serious than you guys.
Other people came in one after another, and the two couples finally calmed down.
The library was surprisingly quiet. People like Yu Fan, who couldn't sit still, held back two papers without saying a word, until the phone in his pocket vibrated a few times before he came to his senses.
[Wang Lu'an: Where are you? Come out online, we're all bad boys. Let's go to ktv to have fun at night, Zuo Kuan and I have already figured it out, and you will sing "Broken Love Front Alliance" to Zhu Xu tonight.]
ill? He's not broken in love, alliance shit.
Yu Fan originally wanted to go back to the "library", but when he typed these three words, he felt that these three words really didn't fit his temperament. So he pressed back to delete, and reposted: [Appointment.]
[Wang Lu'an: Damn it, Zhu Xu saw your reply from my computer screen, and already covered his face and left his seat to go to the toilet! !]
[-:...]
Can this blame him
When Yu Fan turned off his phone and looked up again, he found that the two couples in front had left at some point.
That's right, which couple can stay in the library for so long without being able to talk.
Chen Jingshen has overfulfilled today's homework, and is currently flipping through a heavy book. Yu Fan glanced at him, and said in his heart that you are a thief, tomorrow I will definitely not be fooled by you.
The next moment, Chen Jingshen pinched his thumb between the pages of the book, picked up the book with one hand, and suddenly leaned towards him.
Yu Fan lazily rested his pen on the table with one hand, and said angrily, "What are you doing..."
The people in front were all reading with their backs to them. The heavy notebook was held up in the air, blocking their faces.
They kiss briefly. Mint Xiang approached and moved away, Chen Jingshen said in a low voice: "After finishing this picture, I will accompany you to find Wang Lu'an and the others."
Yu Fan's movement of turning the pen was still stiff: "How do you know?"
"They said it in the group."
Yu Fan rubbed his nose, and it took him a while to say "oh" in a low voice.
In late July, Nancheng officially entered the hot dog days, and staying on the street for a while seemed like it would be melted by the sun.
They will be officially promoted to third grade in the next semester. Their summer vacation has been severely reduced this time, and it will only take 20 days if they are fully loaded. However, the workload of teachers in various subjects has not changed because of this.
The class group became lively because of this, and every day someone asked who had finished writing the paper and borrowed it to copy.
The holidays fly by in the middle of these questions. On this day, Wang Lu'an sent a message to Yu Fan early in the morning, wanting to make an appointment with him not to hand in homework together.
Yu Fan brushed his teeth and typed, and told him that he was only a few pages away from finishing.
[Wang Lu'an: I'm stupid? You are a traitor! !]
[Wang Lu'an: Yu Fan, just tell me, did you have a girlfriend who is a school bully?]
Yu Fan paused while brushing his teeth, spit out the foam before typing.
[-: Get out, don't guess.]
He took the unfinished papers and was about to go out to the library. When he passed the TV, he smelled a stench. It was the snail noodle that Yu Kaiming ordered last night. It was already stinky, and there were many empty wine bottles beside him. .
Yu Kaiming was sleeping on the sofa, and Yu Fan frowned in disgust, trying to wake him up. As soon as he walked over, Yu Kaiming's cell phone that was thrown on the table suddenly turned on with a "ding".
