Until the week before Jiang Yiyang's college entrance examination, he never spoke a word to Luo Shutu again.
It wasn't that Luo Shutu didn't want to take the initiative to attack, but that the other party ran as fast as if he had seen a ghost when they saw him. They also had their own radar detectors, so as long as he was within ten meters, he would be spotted.
If the situation did not allow Jiang Yiyang to leave, he would just ignore Luo Shutu who silently walked forward and wanted to talk, and continued to chat and laugh with others, without giving the slightest chance to intervene, which made others feel embarrassed. After a few times, it naturally spread Luo Shutu stopped openly looking for him after hearing the gossip between the two.
It’s the same in school, and it’s the same at home. At first, Luo Shutu patiently wanted to communicate with people, creating occasional encounters everywhere. It’s a pity that Jiang Yiyang, let alone helping with tutoring, took a detour even when he saw him, and went into the room after eating. , without leaving any opportunity to get close to him.
This attitude of treating people like air and keeping them at arm's length really caused Luo Shutu's heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys to ache—wasn't it just a kiss, as for avoiding him like a snake
Later, he didn't rush to find Jiang Yiyang at all. What should he do? Since Jiang Yiyang wanted to avoid him, he retreated and let him avoid it completely!
He stopped looking for Jiang Yiyang, and Jiang Yiyang felt empty instead.
That kiss was really inexplicable. He once wanted to forget the loss of control at that time, but the more he wanted to forget, the clearer he remembered it, and the more confused his mind became.
The end of the room where he came out was blurred, only the sweet orange smell and Tong Xin's subconscious moaning were still fresh in his memory. He could even recall the gleam of water on those soft lips when they parted, and then felt again. The body is dry and hot.
This is not normal. So he escaped.
After that day, Tong Xin looked for him, and then he disappeared. Every morning when I pass by the station by bicycle, I can still see him waiting there. He still looks quiet, but the feeling is completely different. When he is bathed in the morning light, he looks like a sapling, which is very rare.
Occasionally, the two of them would meet their gazes, and Luo Shutu would lower his head before Jiang Yiyang could hide. Seeing him like this, Jiang Yiyang's mood is a little hard to describe.
He didn't know what Tong Xin was thinking, he would definitely mind, right? Except for the fact that he seemed to have something to say to him at the beginning, he didn't express anything. When we met each other in the corridor, he passed by him calmly. At home, he wouldn't wait at the door of the room anymore. Life was as good as before. , even the slightest suspicion of hesitation and uneasiness was not revealed.
For a moment, he completely forgot that Tong Xin was the "victim". While warning himself not to be angry, he couldn't control his anger at the same time. He wanted to see who could exhaust the other, but he simplified the entangled emotional problems into a child's heart. Of course, he himself would never admit the tendency of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, otherwise he would not have quietly let out a sigh of relief when Luo Shutu actually entered the room to arrest him.
That's good, Jiang Yiyang thought so, Tong Xin convinced them that they are still friends, and they can pretend nothing happened.
"Brother." Luo Shutu closed the door without approaching, standing far away from Jiang Yiyang, and said.
After hanging him out for a month, it really worked. Jiang Yiyang not only didn't chase him away, but also saw the distance between the two of them being deliberately opened by Luo Shutu, and his eyes sank.
"...Look for me, what's the matter?" His voice was hoarse, and he was taken aback. Jiang Yiyang turned his face away slightly uncomfortably, but he was still following Luo Shutu closely from the corner of his eyes.
The young man bit his lip, and his white teeth pressed against the light red lips, like a cherry blossom covered with morning dew. Just by imagining it, he could feel the sweetness of the taste, and Jiang Yiyang couldn't take his eyes off of it. .
"What happened last time..."
Jiang Yiyang was startled, what was he thinking just now? Unexpectedly... so he shouted harshly: "Don't mention that!"
Luo Shutu moved his lips, his expression hurt, and he stood for a while before saying, "...I'm sorry, I..."
As soon as the words came out, Jiang Yiyang regretted it. He didn't want Tong Xin to apologize, besides, it was not his fault. Seeing the other party's expression, he felt a sore pain in his heart.
"I didn't mean to ask you to apologize, I was wrong just now..."
"If I'm at home and you feel uncomfortable, I'll move out," Luo Shutu shook his head and said, "The college entrance examination is one week away, and I don't want to affect you."
"Moving out? Where do you want to go?"
"The owner of the noodle restaurant I used to work for said that he could temporarily let me live upstairs. They bought a new house, and the old one can't be moved."
"How old are you? Do you know who they are? You are the one who was sold and counted the money!" Jiang Yi said angrily, "Move out at every turn, you dare to try!"
The young man stared at him blankly, as if he hadn't expected such a big reaction from him.
"Is there anything else, go out if you have nothing to do." He took a deep breath, turned his chair back to Luo Shutu, and gave the order to evict the guest.
He can no longer stay with Tong Xin, as long as he comes into contact with Tong Xin, sees him, and talks to him, he can't control those weird emotions, and even gets angry because of the other party's unintentional words, which is different from his usual cheerful and open-minded self. completely different
Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, his tense back slowly relaxed, revealing a self-deprecating smile.
Seeing that Tong Xin was a bully, he would accept it without a word no matter how he vented, so did he subconsciously bully him
Shameful.
In June, the city's college entrance examination.
The three-year cold window was for these two and a half days. Parents outside the school waited patiently for the candidates to come out under the scorching sun.
But a small group of people like Jiang Yiyang, who can be called the pride of heaven, are as calm as usual. First, his level is beyond doubt. Second, for the Jiang family, this is a turning point for many people. The exam does not need to be paid special attention to, Jiang Father didn't even mention it, and went to the company as usual.
In terms of caring, the only one who was at home because of the college entrance examination was Luo Shutu.
Now he and Jiang Yiyang are in a tepid state, occasionally talking a few words - the young man hasn't thought about it yet, he understands.
After the first exam in the morning, Jiang Yiyang was about to eat when he was stopped.
Luo Shutu squeezed through the crowd carrying a lunch box, his face was flushed from the sun, his forehead was glistening with sweat, and a few strands of hair stuck to the side of his face, looking quite embarrassed.
There were a lot of people walking around, and their voices were messy, but the moment he saw Luo Shutu, it seemed to be automatically filtered into the background. Jiang Yiyang stood where he was, staring blankly at him, feeling that the flow of time was slow, and the process of a few seconds It seemed like a few minutes, so long that he could hear the beating of his heart.
During the exam, Luo Shutu delivered lunch to Jiang Yiyang twice, and all the exchanges added up to four words, one called "brother", and the other answered "um", repeated twice.
Of course, talking too much is not a problem, what is important is that the favorability has risen to 75.
After the exam, it's carnival time. Those who should confess should go crazy, or most of them, like Jiang Yiyang, go out for a trip.
Luo Shutu's current time slot doesn't match with his. Jiang Yiyang often packs up his bag and leaves before he sees someone. It's rare for him to stay at home for a few days, but he has to go out when Luo Shutu is out of school at night. At the party, until Luo Shutu was about to take the final exam, neither of them spoke more than three sentences.
On the last weekend before the end of term, Luo Shutu was lazily catching up with his homework in his room with the study package he had exchanged, when the neighbor next door yelled "Damn!", loudly, at least through the top-notch sound-proof walls.
Jiang Yiyang is back? Luo Shutu thought for a while, and just about to get up to offer condolences, the door was opened.
"elder brother… ?"
Jiang Yiyang, whose short-sleeved trousers were almost soaked, was wearing slippers, holding a towel in his hand to wipe his wet hair, and his face was a little embarrassed: "The shower in my room is broken, I want to borrow yours to take a shower."
"... Mmm." Luo Shutu nodded, turned around and continued to do his homework.
Jiang Yiyang looked at him from behind for a while, took out his mobile phone and wallet from his pocket and threw it on the bed, then reached into his pocket and touched the gadget that was not as big as a palm, but he didn't take it out after all.
The sound of water soon sounded in the bathroom, and Luo Shutu silently bit his pen, seriously considering whether he should take this opportunity to break in and develop any substantive relationship.
What if it is self-defeating, such enthusiasm is not in line with his setting, but Jiang Yiyang is full of blood, and the success rate of catching the little brother on the basis of a good impression is very high...
Before he could figure it out, the phone rang suddenly from behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Jiang Yiyang's phone buzzing and the screen flickering.
Luo Shutu didn't want to answer at first, but the phone rang for two full minutes, which was called indomitable. He went over to look, and the caller showed the word "Xiaofan" in big letters.
He hesitated for a moment, then picked it up.
"Brother Yi Fan..."
The other end fell silent immediately, and said for a moment: "Why is my brother's mobile phone with you? What about others?"
"He's taking a shower..."
"Du—" The call was cut off immediately, and Luo Shutu was speechless holding the phone, why did this child think of him as sinister, he was just taking a bath.
It didn't take long for Jiang Yiyang to come out, with a bath towel around his lower body, showing his good figure at a glance.
"Brother Yi Fan called just now." Luo Shutu said, "I said you were taking a shower, and he hung up."
Jiang Yiyang's face changed, and he hurriedly took the phone and called back: "Who asked you to answer it!"
He didn't care about Luo Shutu's expression, this time he was traveling with his friends in L City, and when he met Xiaofan, the other party probably figured it out, but he didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, and his relaxed attitude was regarded as a reconciliation up.
After calling back several times in a row, he was cut off, and Jiang Yifan didn't answer until the sixth time.
"Xiaofan..." Jiang Yiyang breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his back halfway to talk to him in a low voice.
Luo Shutu looked at him for a while, then turned around and picked up his pen.
When Jiang Yiyang hung up the phone, no one spoke in the room, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.
"...I'm sorry." Luo Shutu spoke first, with his back on his back.
What he heard Tong Xin say the most was sorry, Jiang Yiyang put the phone back in his pocket, touched the object he brought back again, pursed his lips and said: "I..." Went to L City, reconciled with Jiang Yifan, but said no matter what Not exported.
"You go first."
Jiang Yiyang was taken aback, thinking that he had heard wrongly, how could Tong Xin say that? Maybe to others... but to himself, he was a little angry, went to stand by the desk, and said, "Tong Xin, what's your attitude?"
Looking down, you can only see the thin and soft black hair, the straight neck, and the thin shoulders trembling slightly.
He vaguely felt that something was wrong, and when he was about to say something in a soft tone, he saw a little water stain on the open test paper, and then another little bit, as if a slight dripping sound could be heard in the silence.
Jiang Yiyang's throat choked up, his heart felt congested, and it was unbearable to pull and pull—Tong Xin is strong, Tong Xin can't even cry out in pain, but why did Tong Xin cry
Luo Shutu raised his head, his eyes were very red, and the water glistened continuously, and then he said, "Brother, I like you."
