You Zhong and Zhou Xuan bought drinks in the small shop, and the latter took some time to choose the taste.

When they came back with drinks for six people, Yang Juan was the only one left on the steps in front of the observation tower.

Zhou Xuan took out a bottle of iced Coke from his bag and threw it into his arms.

Yang Juan stretched out his hand to pick it up nervously, and then hugged Coke to his full.

Taking into account the interaction between the two, You Zhong frowned, "Where are Lin and Xi?"

Yang Juan raised his head, "He went to the bathroom."

You Zhong asked again: "When did you go?"

Yang Juan pursed his lips and thought.

Zhou Xuan beside him raised his eyebrows and teased: "Captain You, don't you need to be so competent?"

Ignoring his teasing, You Zhong looked straight at Yang Juan.

Yang Juan replied uncertainly: "It should be 2 minutes ago."

Hearing this, You Zhong still frowned slightly, and wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by Zhou Xuan's hand on his shoulder.

The other party's tone was full of indifference: "Don't be so nervous, it's only 2 minutes. So many people have to go to the toilet, and it takes more than 2 minutes to stand in line."

You Zhong paused, and said nothing more.

They sat down in front of the steps and turned to chatting about the homework assigned by the professional teacher this week.

Neither Yang Juan nor Zhou Xuan can do their homework, so they want to borrow You Zhong's homework.

You Zhong himself, who was at the center of the topic, was always a little absent-minded, and even frequently glanced down at the time on the phone.

Zhou Xuan couldn't help but raised his hand and shook it in front of his face.

Suddenly regaining consciousness, You Zhong slapped his hand off, "What are you shaking?"

Zhou Xuan withdrew his hand, clicked his tongue and said, "Let me borrow your homework for us to refer to. Which beautiful sister are you thinking about?"

You Zhong didn't answer half a word about the homework, but said in a deep voice, "It's been 10 minutes."

Zhou Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the 10 minutes in the other party's words referred to Lin and Xi.He was still a little unconcerned, and casually stopped the boy who came back from the toilet and asked, "Dude, is there anyone else in the toilet?"

The other party thought for a while, shook his head and said, "There should be no one."

After thanking the other party, Zhou Xuan withdrew his gaze, his face was no longer in a good mood, "This Lin Hexi, didn't he sneak down the mountain, and deliberately dug a hole for us to jump in?"

Yang Juan interjected softly and said, "His backpack is still here."

You Zhong had already stood up, and said in an unclear tone: "I'll go to the toilet to have a look."

Zhou Xuan was surprised, and subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but at this time he had no time to investigate further, so he stopped him and said, "What are you looking for? Just tell the teacher no."

You Zhong took his hand away, frowned tightly, "I'll go down to find him, you go to the teacher."

Zhou Xuan was stunned again.

Feeling that the other party's appearance was a bit abnormal, Zhou Xuan stretched out his hand to grab him again.

You Zhong suddenly turned his head, a pair of dark eyes looked at him coldly and sharply.

The outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and Zhou Xuan saw his face clearly.

The other party's expression was gloomy, there was obvious restlessness in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, the line of his jaw was unconsciously tense, and his lips were already pursed into a straight line.

These subtle changes on You Zhong's face all showed his bad mood at the moment.

Watching the other party's back leave, Zhou Xuan wondered, but he just lost an unimportant person, so why be so angry?

He turned around and took two steps in Yang Juan's direction, then stopped abruptly.

wrong.

Zhou Xuan's heart trembled, and he finally realized——

That's not anger, that's worry.

When did the relationship between You Zhong and Lin Hexi get so good?Zhou Xuan looked at Yang Juan in surprise, "When did you say that he was so nervous when I disappeared?"

Yang Juan said without thinking, "This is different."

Zhou Xuan's face turned darker, "What's the difference?"

Yang Juan was silent for two seconds, and finally blurted out truthfully: "You and You Zhong are friends, and Lin Hexi and You Zhong are lovers."

Zhou Xuan nodded impatiently, "Yes, You Zhong and I are friends, and Lin Hexi and You Zhong are also friends—"

Before finishing a sentence, he suddenly got stuck.

After a while, Zhou Xuan slowly showed an incredulous expression, "What do you think is the relationship between You Zhong and Lin Hexi?"

Yang Juan showed him the photos he had taken at the beach.

Just the photos are not enough, he continued: "You and I went to find You Zhong that morning, and Lin and Xi hid in the closet in You Zhong's bedroom."

"So." Yang Juan's expression was determined and solemn, "They are a couple."

Zhou Xuan looked at the photo and listened to what he said, his face was struck by lightning.

The two sat there for a while with different thoughts, wanting to wait for the news from You Zhong before deciding whether to go to the teacher or not.

A few minutes later, You Zhong called them and said that the person had been found, so they were relieved.

When he walked outside the toilet, You Zhong's mood gradually turned calm, and he also remembered that he had Lin Hexi's WeChat and phone number.

He stopped by the side of the road to call Lin Hexi, and when he heard the call was connected, You Zhong's face softened a little.

The voice of a strange girl came from the phone.

The other party explained the situation simply and quickly on the other end of the phone. You Zhong walked down the path on the right side of the toilet and found them where there was a swing.

Lin Hexi was still squatting at the bottom of the slope, You Zhong took off his coat, tied it to Lin Hexi's coat, threw the rope formed by the two coats down the slope, and pulled him up from the bottom of the slope .

After returning to the top of the slope, he untied his coat and put it on. Before he could thank You Zhong, he heard the other party reprimand him in a sullen tone: "Lin Hexi, why are you so troublesome?"

Lin and Xiji tactfully kept their mouths shut.

You Zhong's anger came and went quickly, and he frowned slightly and asked, "Are you injured?"

Lin Hexi paused, then slightly bent his eyes, "No."

The two wanted to take the injured girl back to the crowded place on the top of the mountain. The latter was worried that her best friend would not be able to find her, and when she was still hesitating, a shaking light swept over from a distance.

The other party's best friend came back with someone.

Both parties heaved a sigh of relief, and after saying goodbye to them hastily, Lin Hexi and You returned to the gathering place on the top of the mountain.

All the students had arrived, and the elective teacher took them down the same path.

Going down the mountain is much easier than going up the mountain, and the time spent on the mountain road is also reduced by multiples.

The teacher separated from them at the school gate, and Lin Hexi and You Zhong walked all the way back to the south of the city.

It was almost eleven o'clock at night, most of the shops on both sides of the street were closed, and there were very few vehicles passing by with their lights on.

The flat and wide road stretches to the end of the field of vision, swallowed by endless darkness.Only the pale yellow light cast by the street lamps at the feet exudes a faint warmth.

Stepping on the light circle under their feet, Lin Hexi said in a casual tone: "When I was on the mountain, I just wanted to call you, and your call came."

You Zhong glanced at him, calmly waiting for his next words.

Sure enough, he heard the other party's voice with a smile: "So, do we have a tacit understanding?"

You Zhong didn't move at all, "It's just a coincidence."

"A coincidence is a coincidence." Without arguing with him, Lin Hexi's smiles remained undiminished, and then, as if thinking of something, he said slowly, "You came to me in such a hurry, could it be because you were worried? Me?"

He was just asking casually, and it was a very common question.

You Zhong was stunned, and couldn't answer in a short time.

Not noticing the change in the other party's expression, Lin Hexi pretended to be playful: "If you don't speak, I will take it as your acquiescence."

Quickly regaining consciousness, You Zhong stopped, looked at him from under the streetlight and said, "Yes."

It was clearly standing in the light, but Lin and Xi couldn't tell the expression on You Zhong's face.Unexpectedly, he asked subconsciously, "What?"

"Didn't you ask me, are you worried about you?" In a short moment, You Zhong had already hidden his emotions in his eyes, and the corners of his lips slightly raised, "Yes, I am worried about you."

Lin Hexi stopped suddenly, and looked up at him calmly.

You Zhong smiled, "I'm worried that you will cause me trouble."

Hearing this, Lin Hexi let out a sigh of relief.I don't know if it was expected or just plain disappointing.

He turned around and continued walking, but he didn't notice that You Zhong was still standing in the light without moving.

Are you worried about him?

This is not the first time such emotions have appeared.

Looking away from Lin Hexi's back, You Zhong stood where he was, frowning silently.
