Xu Qichen's story also spread to Peiya. Compared with Jingjian at the Storm Center, Peiya's students were not much calmer, and gossip did not distinguish between audiences. The rumors were very exaggerated, and various strange versions appeared, one more than the other, and the other was weird and bloody.

Rumors tampered with Xu Qichen's character and character unscrupulously. As communicators, they had never seen him before, but they seemed to be the one who knew him best. "I heard that", "it was said", "it was spread everywhere"... In these illogical and vague words, the parties involved were already unrecognizable.

The day after the training camp, Song Yu returned to school to attend classes. In the cafeteria, the boys who were having dinner at the same table talked about this topic.

"You guys have heard of that quiet and frugal person. A boy has an affair with a male teacher." The other party relied on his sexual orientation with most people, and his words showed superiority. "It's so disgusting. The man actually likes the man. Fortunately, he is not in our school, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come to school." The remaining people laughed when they heard this.

Qin Yan picked up the chopsticks and threw them back into the plate, and said calmly: "Come on. Girls who like men are everywhere on the streets. They don't like men just when they see men, right? The same goes for boys who like the same sex."

The other party was stabbed by his words and couldn't hold it in his face, "What's wrong? People who like men are not happy to say it? Could it be that you like men too?"

Qin Yan put down his chopsticks, "To be honest, I like the beautiful sister of black and long, but one day I want to bend suddenly, and I don't look down on the Qing Dynasty."

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yu, who had been low pressure, stood up with a plate that had not eaten a few bites, and left directly. Seeing this, Qin Yan also followed him with the plate.

On the fourth day after returning from the training camp, he finally received a WeChat reply from Xia Zhixu.

[夏知许:我没事.]

Song Yu didn't think so. The people around him were very noisy. His deskmate took advantage of the break and he edited a sentence.

[宋煜:要陪打球的话,周末可以找我.]

It is difficult for him to care about others in normal times, but Song Yu cannot completely watch Xia Zhixu, perhaps because he happened to witness it, or perhaps he really regards Xia Zhixu as his mirror.

镜子碎了,他在里面的倒影也是碎的.

The sky was gray and rainy, which was a light drizzle that was not common in this city, and it spilled like needles. Song Yu looked out the window and was distracted. When he came back from training that day, the scene at the entrance of Peiya School appeared again.

It is difficult for him to describe the feeling of being hugged by Le Zhishi after witnessing a bloody failure.

一定要形容,大概是饮鸩止渴.

That day, Le Zhishi didn't ask anything, just comforted him and said, "Go home, can we watch the documentary together?"

It seems that he is just a child, and Le Zhishi is actually a very mature adult.

For the first time, they walked home from school along the street. The road was very long. Le Zhishi was close to him along the way, and said a lot of happy things about school. He also said that the Border Horseman at Aunt Rong’s friend gave birth to a baby. He went to see it. It was very cute.

When trying to convey warmth to Song Yu, Le Zhishi will never be tired.

但宋煜没有给太多回应.

When he saw that post the first time, Song Yu had the idea of ​​retreating. He thought, forget it, this is too dangerous, even God is trying to warn him. But when he really faced Le Zhishi, he could not retreat so resolutely.

He was indeed not mature at all.

In the end, Song Yu did not give Le Zhishi the handmade picture album, and kept it in his schoolbag. Sometimes he would see it with teaching aids, but he pretended not to see it. Later, he stuffed it into a drawer and pressed under many books.

After class, he lay on the table and closed his eyes and rested, and his cell phone vibrated.

[Xia Zhixu: You can't delay your review, please try it after the exam.]

Before I could reply, a new one appeared in the dialog box.

[Xia Zhixu: I just didn't see him easily, but he didn't seem to want to see me very much. He said he was not gay and didn't want to be friends with me anymore.]

[Xia Zhixu: You said you asked me to try it, it seems that there is no chance.]

On the night of power outage, the crappy pigeon metaphors and the conservative imagination of Xia Zhixu, all of this seemed to be a sign of premonition. Song Yu thought that before this happened, whenever Xia Zhixu retreated again, he could push his shoulder and tell him, "I don't think so."

But now, he can't say that.

An example of a more likely success ended in front of Song Yu. He thought he was mature enough to even give another person similar to him a shot of a heart-warming agent, trying to catalyze the desired result. Do you want to say that he is great enough to fulfill other people's love? Not so.

Song Yu knew that he was just looking for a successful case that was close to him so that he could be inspired.

After all, I'm still too young.

I can never guess what will happen tomorrow.

Le Zhishi occasionally remembered the day when Song Yu returned to school for training.

His fatigue did not seem to last for too long. After returning home, Song Yu did not want to watch the documentary with him, but locked himself in the room, came out, and turned back to the calm Song Yu before.

Although his words and deeds were not much different from those before going to the training camp, Cole Zhishi always felt that Song Yu had changed a little. He said fewer words than before and refused to express them.

After the monthly holiday, Le Zhishi went to school, and Le Zhishi also heard rumors about Xu Qichen. Everyone who tried to maliciously evaluate Xu Qichen in front of him expressed their opposition directly face to face.

In his heart, he firmly believed that Xu Qichen was not the kind of person they said, but these things left a shadow in Le Zhishi's heart.

It turns out that there are boys who like boys too.

From childhood, they were educated that the opposite sex attracted each other, and there were few other possibilities. From the beginning, the same presupposition was established for them, and consciousness germination and awakening could only start with doubt.

Le Zhishi couldn't help but recall the rainy day when he first met them, and the subtle connection between Xu Qichen and Xia Zhixu, and felt as if he had discovered something, but he felt that he was not clear enough.

He was about to fall asleep, turned over and turned on his phone to find the answer in the search engine.

Le Zhishi almost slept in the morning, but when he heard Lin Rong knocking on the door, he woke up. The phone on his hand was out of power and turned off. He quickly washed up and saw Song Yu standing in the living room taking off his school uniform shirt, with lean muscles covering his bones, pulling them as he moved.

Le Zhishi suddenly had a strange feeling and stopped in place.

Lin Rong took another school uniform shirt, "This one should be dry. I just got it wrong. No wonder it's a little wet, give it to me." She handed the shirt to Song Yu. When she looked up, she saw Le Zhishi who was stunned in the spot, and urged, "Lele, why are you still standing there? Have something to eat and go to class. I can drive you to see you today."

Song Yu put his new shirt on his body, turned around and had a brief look with Le Zhishi.

The fingertips seemed to have passed the electricity, Le Zhishi lowered his eyes and seized the time to go downstairs to clean up.

Lin Rong drove a Class A-class car with a smaller space. Le Zhishi followed Song Yu into the car and sat close to the window and door. The two were separated by a lot.

After taking a look through the rearview mirror, Lin Rong joked, "Lele, you have grown up."

乐知时有些不理解,“嗯?”

"You used to want to stick it to your brother." She smiled very well, and the pearl earrings on her earlobes were shaking, "like a small pendant."

Hearing this sentence, Song Yu and Le Zhishi both turned their heads to look at the distance between them. Two seconds later, Song Yu turned his head to look at the scenery, and Le Zhishi stared at the schoolbag on his knees.

"It's a bit hot." Le Zhishi explained without confidence.

·

Two weeks before the college entrance examination, Le Zhishi was sick all the time, had stomach discomfort, and had a fever.

He was afraid that his family would worry, so he quietly went to a nearby outpatient clinic. The old doctor sitting inside only looked at him and said that many students have been seeing a doctor recently, similar to him, all of which are stress reactions caused by excessive tension before the exam.

"Don't be nervous, the more nervous you are, the more uncomfortable you feel." The doctor roughly took a check-up, sat down, took out a medical record from the drawer, looked at the calendar, "Oh, today it's the second day, and the college entrance examination has indeed been in a few days."

His pen was quickly written without raising his head, "What's the name? How big?"

Lezhishi reported his name, "Fifteenth." He sat on the chair opposite and honestly explained, "It's not me taking the college entrance examination."

"Fifteen?" The doctor pushed the presbyopia on his nose, "Ah? I said, you are quite young, not like the college entrance examination. So are you nervous because you are in the middle school entrance examination?"

"It seems not." Le Zhishi said, "But I am really a little nervous and can't sleep well at night." He added, "My brother is going to take the college entrance examination."

"You worry about him." The doctor seemed to find it funny, "You should be nervous for yourself, silly kid."

Le Zhishi finally took a bunch of medicine and went home. After taking it for two days, his symptoms relieved a lot.

The school notified the junior high school to make a vacant room for the college entrance examination in a few days. Everyone started to move the books home little by little, and then waited for the examination room to be arranged. From watching the examination room to the end of the college entrance examination, the junior high school students were all at home on holiday, and Le Zhishi could only review at home.

When he was reading a book, he saw that he was hungry. He went downstairs to find something to eat. Lin Rong was chatting with his friend. Lin Rong called him over and said hello. Le Zhishi sat over with a pudding and called Auntie politely.

"I'm so good, I've become handsome again. Alas Xiaorong, your two sons are going to take the exam."

"Yes." Lin Rong changed her face in a second and covered her heart. "I hope they are healthy and healthy lately. We will go on a trip after the exam."

"You really, my parents are worried that they won't do well in the exam and worry about their volunteers, so you know how to play. Hey, do you know that Chen Xiaomei? The one who was a doctor, she went to Guiyuan Temple to burn high incense for her daughter the day before yesterday."

林蓉笑起来,“管用吗?”

"She also listened to others' introductions. Someone said that the thief was so powerful that I wanted to burn an incense stick."

"I'm too lazy to go, it's too troublesome. The boss of my family won't appreciate it."

Le Zhishi listened to him, and after eating pudding, he went upstairs by himself, turned on the computer to search Guiyuan Temple, but unexpectedly he had received praise from him. He has received atheistic education since childhood, but Le Zhishi saw a comment that made a lot of sense - if you believe, you will have it, if you are sincere, you will be effective.

What's more, he felt unhappy whenever he thought of someone who had burned incense and prayed for his gods in the same exam room, but Song Yu had nothing.

别人有的,哥哥也必须得有.

Le Zhishi was an action-oriented man. He brought the money he needed early the next morning and ran out on the excuse of going to KFC with his classmates to review. Guiyuan Temple was far away from home. He took the subway and took the bus and rode a shared bicycle for a long time before he arrived at his destination.

As the exam approached, the temple was crowded with people. Le Zhishi went in and found that there was no tour guide inside, so he could only follow other pilgrims. Guiyuan Temple was larger than he thought, and most of the buildings were similar. He was alone in a daze and was asking for directions all the way. There were many statues of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas here. The five hundred arhats alone made Le Zhishi dizzy and struggled for a whole morning before he could find what he wanted.

When burning incense, he carefully observed the others, and when it was his turn to go up, he saluted and worshiped very seriously.

Please, I must bless my brother with all the best. He sincerely recited the Bodhisattva.

Before leaving, Le Zhishi drew a lottery, and another pilgrim on the side teased him, "Can you come to burn incense at such a young age, can you understand?"

The sign was written with sentences similar to ancient poems. Le Zhishi honestly said that he couldn't understand it, so he asked him to help explain.

“你给你自己抽的吗?求什么啊?”

"No, I asked for my brother." Le Zhishi was afraid that he would forget to explain the situation, so he took out his cell phone and said he wanted to record it.

The other party pushed his glasses and said, "That's it." After saying that, the other party handed him the sign, "Do you ask for a sign yourself if you don't give it to me? How difficult is it to travel far away?"

It makes sense, so Le Zhishi draws another lottery and asks this expert to help solve it and take it home together.

Sitting on the bus, Le Zhishi fell asleep so tired that he accidentally passed the station, got off at a strange station, reversed in the opposite direction, squeezed into the subway while hungry, and was exhausted, as if he had experienced a journey to the West.
