Yu Fan hasn't cried for a long time, crying is a sign of weakness, cowardice, and embarrassment. So realizing that he was crying, he immediately backed away for a while.
But Chen Jingshen's hand seemed to press some switch, and Yu Fan couldn't hold back at all.
So his hair was rubbed, and he felt ashamed while crying.
… so fucking embarrassing.
The summer rain came and went quickly, and the movement of the flashing gradually became smaller. Yu Fan was bored on Chen Jingshen's T-shirt, desperately trying to wait for the fabric to dry before getting up.
squeak-
With a muffled and soft sound, Yu Fan's heart skipped a beat and immediately bounced off Chen Jingshen.
He leaned on the handrail of the stairs and looked up in panic and vigilance. The old ladder stretched upwards, dark and dead.
"What's wrong?" Chen Jingshen followed him and looked up.
Yu Fan listened in silence for a long time, but the short sound did not reappear, and no one went downstairs. Yu Fan said in a daze, "Did you hear anything?"
"No."
Did he hear wrong
Yu Fan has lived in this building for 17 years. The movement just now was like the struggling sound of an unoiled door shaft rubbing against each other.
But there was only a light touch, so light that he couldn't tell whether it was real or an auditory hallucination.
Yu Fan hesitated for a moment, and went up half a flight of stairs to look. The door on the second floor was closed, and everything was the same as when he went downstairs.
"What did you hear?" Chen Jingshen asked in a low voice, he wanted to follow Yu Fan up, but Yu Fan blocked him after walking two steps.
"It's nothing, I heard wrong."
Yu Fan was abruptly pulled out of his emotions by the sound, and finally realized that this was the downstairs of his house, surrounded by dense residential buildings, and others could see them without approaching.
After confirming that there was no one in the corridor, he breathed a sigh of relief and blinked his dry eyes uncomfortably.
He has been like this since he was a child, and the stamina of crying is very strong. His eyes are swollen and red, and it takes a long time to disappear. So after being beaten by Yu Kaiming before, Yun Shan not only helped him to heal his wound, but also helped him to heal his eyes.
Chen Jingshen stared at his red eyelids for a second, and the next second, Yu Fan raised his hand to cover his eyes.
"What the hell??" Yu Fan tugged at his clothes and said indifferently, "Let's go."
The rain gradually weakened, and the big black umbrella brought by Chen Jingshen could barely squeeze the two boys.
When Yu Fan left the community, he couldn't help but glance back. He still covered his eyes with one hand and raised his head high.
The windows on the second floor were dimmed, and no one was there.
"Can you see the road?" Chen Jingshen glanced at his burdened boyfriend.
"Nonsense." Yu Fan turned his head back, looked down at the road ahead, "I'm not blind."
Chen Jingshen: "Do you want to buy eye drops..."
"Shut up, Chen Jingshen." The hand covering his face was clenched into a fist, and then released, "Or I'll beat you up and lose your memory."
Chen Jingshen leaned the umbrella forward a little, and also covered his face.
"I'll beat you even if you laugh." The person next to him said coldly again.
Chen Jingshen said, "Where are we going?"
The library during the summer vacation is very popular. There must be no seats at this time. Yu Fan took Chen Jingshen to the Internet cafe he often goes to. Just around the old neighborhood, much seedier than the cool boys.
The two of them didn't eat breakfast or lunch. Chen Jingshen went to the two shops next door, and when he returned to the plane with two cups of Kanto boiled, he saw his boyfriend squinting his eyes and frowning, staring at him with displeasure. looking at computer screen.
He put down his things and glanced at the screen, and saw a line of big characters: Admission scores for universities in Jiangcheng.
Although Yu Fan has not seriously considered which university he will go to in the future, he knows that with Chen Jingshen's grades, he will definitely go to those top schools in Jiangcheng.
Chen Jingshen picked up a bunch of white radishes and handed them to his mouth. Yu Fan stared at the computer screen and bit his head.
"Chen Jingshen." When the mouse scrolled to the bottom, Yu Fan said expressionlessly, "I won't elope."
"Why?"
"I can't pass the exam." Yu Fan did the math. With his current score, he should only be able to wash dishes in the cafeterias of these schools.
Chen Jingshen stretched out his hand, stopped a few centimeters away from the screen, and clicked on the names of some of the schools, "These are fine."
Yu Fan turned to look at him, and said dumbly: "Chen Jingshen, I am more than a hundred points behind their admission line."
"Well, there is one more year." Chen Jingshen poked him another ball.
Yu Fan looked at him quietly for a while, then lowered his head and bit the ball.
It was a rare visit to an Internet cafe. After filling his stomach, Yu Fan picked up his mobile phone and went to the group to find someone to play games with.
It took time for other people to go online, so Yu Fan leaned back on his chair and waited lazily, his gaze unconsciously drifting to the computer screen of the person next to him.
Yu Fan: "..."
Chen Jingshen looked at the list of rental houses that fit "Jiangcheng, double bed, convenient transportation, quiet and spacious", just about to click into a pretty good house to see, but the mouse started to move by itself. It was moved to the upper right corner of the page, click the X.
Yu Fan let go of his mouse, turned his eyes back to his computer screen, and informed him forcefully with red ears.
"Chen Jingshen, I fucking live on campus."
After staying in the Internet cafe for a day, it was already late when Chen Jingshen returned home.
He lowered his head and found the person on top, and opened the door while typing. When he opened the door and saw the light from the room inside, his fingers paused slightly.
"Really? That's great. I've been thinking about this for the past few days, and I still want to find you some time... I need the parents' signature to finalize? Okay, no problem, of course I am willing to sign. Then make sure Please let me know again later."
The exquisite chandelier in the living room illuminates the whole room. Ji Lianyi is sitting on the sofa, and her perennial habits make her maintain an elegant sitting posture when talking on the phone. Hearing the sound, she glanced at the door, then smiled lightly, "Okay, then I will contact you next time."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Lianyi got up from the sofa: "Where did you go, I came back so late. Have you had dinner yet?"
"Eat." Chen Jingshen put the phone in his pocket.
"I asked my aunt to save some soup, drink some later and go to bed."
"No need," Chen Jingshen said, "Why are you back? Didn't you say you'll be busy until next week?"
"It's over early." Ji Lianyi rubbed the center of her brows, "The company's business has almost been transferred to China, and your father and I have officially divorced. In the next time, if there is nothing to deal with, there is no need to fly out."
Chen Jingshen stood there quietly, and asked after a while, "Are you all right?"
Ji Lianyi froze for a moment, then nodded: "It's okay, everything was handled pretty well."
Because the other party cheated, and even had a child who was one year older than Chen Jingshen outside, she got much more from this divorce than she expected.
"It's going to be your most critical year soon, Depth of Field, Mom can finally stay with you at home." Ji Lianyi said, "Mom has already taken care of the house in Jiangcheng, and when you pass the exam, Mom will tell you—"
"No, I'll rent the house myself." Chen Jingshen interrupted her lightly.
Ji Lianyi paused, and said: "No, renting a house is not safe, nor is it clean."
In the past, Chen Jingshen would have just let her go. It was like this every time between them. When she made a request, Chen Jingshen silently complied, even seldom resisting.
"I rent a house myself." Chen Jingshen repeated.
"..."
The smile on Ji Lianyi's face was slowly pulled down, and the mother and son faced each other in silence for a while.
She is about to face the third year of high school, and she can't conflict with the child at this time. The hearts of senior high school students are fragile.
There is still one year left, let's talk slowly after the exam.
"Let's talk about it later." Ji Lianyi's face tightened and then relaxed, she said, "By the way, school starts next week, right? Mom will send you to report then."
Perhaps because there was no physical conflict, Yu Kaiming still stayed at home after the quarrel.
The two still regarded each other as air, until the day before school started, when Yu Fan came back with a courier, entered the room and kicked the sofa where Yu Kaiming was lying.
Yu Kaiming watched the ball without raising his head: "Why?"
"Have you contacted her yet?"
Yu Kaiming naturally knew who he was talking about: "No, damn it, get up, it's blocking me from watching TV."
Yu Fan didn't believe it and asked him to take out his phone to check. After flipping through the messages one by one, Yu Fan heaved a sigh of relief and threw the phone back.
"Fuck, if you throw it away, why don't you buy one for me? Did you tell me, I don't believe it..." Yu Kaiming fiddled with the phone, and suddenly said, "Why haven't you gone out recently?"
Yu Fan was about to go back to his room when he heard this and looked back at him in doubt.
Yu Kaiming was silent for two seconds: "...I'm so annoyed to be in front of my face every day."
Yu Fan didn't bother to talk to him, and slammed the door.
Chen Jingshen's mother has been on the go for the past six months. When she came back this time, she was arranging dinners with her natal relatives every day, and occasionally invited people to eat at home. Every time, Chen Jingshen had to go with her, so she couldn't spare time. So they only went to the library once this week, and returned to the previous state of video lectures for the rest of the day.
But school is about to start soon, it doesn't matter.
Yu Fan opened the package, took out the camera inside, and began to inspect the places where it could be installed.
This thing is used by others to watch their cats. As long as there is something moving in the room, it will send a reminder to his mobile phone.
Ever since Yu Kaiming looked through his things last time, he has become more careful. The school is about to start, and he is not at ease in class because he is uneasy.
It was not difficult to secure the things. After checking with the mobile phone several times, Yu Fan lay down on the bed and continued to browse through the software that was not closed in the background.
A certain person said categorically that day that he wanted to live in a dormitory, but he couldn't help it after returning home and searched the house.
The more Yu Fan turned back, the more he frowned, and he couldn't help but brush the broken hair on his forehead.
Why is the rent in Jiangcheng so expensive?
He threw his phone aside and stared at the ceiling to calculate his savings. When his mother left home, she hadn't worked for a long time, and there wasn't much left for him. His living expenses in the past few years were all based on the money left by his grandfather.
Yu Kaiming used to be addicted to a kind of gambling that draws prizes once a minute. He lost money like running water, and he couldn't persuade him to come back. His grandfather felt that this thing was hopeless, and the relationship between father and son was also very tense. He almost gave nothing to him before he left. Yu Kaiming kept it, and secretly handed it all over to Yu Fan.
But it's not a big amount. Over the past few years, it has been used almost.
Yu Fan closed his eyes and clicked his tongue, rubbing his face regretfully, he would have known to smoke less, cigarettes are so expensive...
He was thinking about going to college while working part-time, when the cell phone on the quilt suddenly buzzed several times in succession.
It's that annoying discussion group that's making appointments for the class basketball game on the first day of school.
[Zuo Kuan: Then it’s settled. The losing class will treat the winning class to eat spicy hot pot. I want to order 40 yuan a piece.]
[Wang Lu'an: No problem, just wait and see if Yu Fan doesn't fill up your class's basket tomorrow.]
[Zuo Kuan: If you have the ability, don't let Chen Jingshen guard me!]
[Wang Lu'an: Are you okay? Is Xueba trying to guard against you? That's the position they're playing!]
[Wang Lu'an: @香藏@陈景深 Two big brothers, first think about what to put in Malatang, so that they will be overwhelmed.]
Yu Fan was worrying about money, and suddenly the sky fell free, that's right. He tapped on the keyboard and typed out a sentence: Can we have a few more appointments...
Just about to send, a new message popped up.
[S: Yu Fan and I will leave after fighting, and we won't eat.]
Yu Fan: "?"
[Zhang Wenjing:...]
[Wang Lu'an: Huh? What are you two doing?]
[s: I made an appointment with something else.]
Yu Fan: "?"
Have it? What's the date
You can't ask him to go back to the classroom to do the questions after playing the ball.
Yu Fan stared at the screen and thought for a while, then suddenly got up from the bed, stuffed a few sticks of chewing gum into the packed schoolbag with red ears and expressionless face.
The group is still chatting lively—
[Wang Lu'an: It's okay, the two copies of Yu Fan and Xueba will be transferred to Sister Jing and Ke Ting.]
[Zuo Kuan: Fuck you, you won't suffer a little, right? Who will play the remaining two positions in your class?]
[Wang Lu'an: Wu Si and Gao Shi.]
[Wu Si: Huh? What are you talking about? I just saw it.]
[Wang Lu'an: I'm explaining about the skyball game, my deskmate, I've signed up for you, kill them after school tomorrow!]
Wu Si didn't speak any more, probably checked the chat history.
Wang Lu'an and Zuo Kuan chattered harshly to each other in the group for a while, and just as the group was about to turn to the topic of borrowing homework to copy, Wu Si's avatar suddenly popped up again—
[Wu Si:...]
[Wu Si: A class ball game? Then Xueba and I can't participate.]
[Wu Si: Don't you know yet? The school resumed the top class.]
