Because of the African Emirates, all the lucky points are counted.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the second semester of the third year of high school officially starts.After school in the evening, Xing Wenbo didn't go to the self-study room on the fifth floor, but called Xiao Liang to the rooftop.

It was the first time that Xiao Liang and Xing Wenbo had come to this place where nothing shit happened. He followed him suspiciously and said, "Why? Do you want to play Infernal Affairs with me?"

Xing Wenbo turned his head and smiled, "Let me tell you something."

Xiao Liang: "???" Damn it, is it really that smell?

The two leaned against the railing and looked into the distance. Xing Wenbo's hair was a bit long and hadn't been cut yet. The cold wind blew his bangs back, creating the effect of a big back.Looking at Xing Wenbo like this, Xiao Liang felt a little strange.

This strangeness is not new.When did it start?

Since when he and Xing Wenbo couldn't go to blackouts on weekends?

From when they dropped out of the varsity basketball team?

Since... when Xing Wenbo met Wen He?

Xiao Liang couldn't find an exact time point.

But that node exists.They seem to be heading in different directions, drifting away.

"Come on," Xiao Liang still looked carefree, "Be lenient when confessing, and be strict when resisting. Hurry up."

Xing Wenbo looked at Xiao Liang, only to realize that he hadn't prepared a speech.

I always feel that it is a very natural thing, and it can be explained clearly when it is a matter of course.

... When it's time to face it in person, it's not that simple.

"What are you struggling with?" Xiao Liang was amused, "When did you become so grumpy?"

Xiao Liang's words made Xing Wenbo happy, and he said, "I have someone I like."

"...Ah???" No matter how he thought about it, Xiao Liang couldn't think that what Xing Wenbo was going to talk about was this matter. He immediately forgave his tweaking, and the color of gossip spontaneously arose, "Damn it, who? From our school? Which class? ? Wait——is it from our grade? It can’t be the new school Huazhuang Qianqin in the first year of high school, right? I said why she keeps appearing on the third floor of our high school lately—”

"Liang, calm down." Xing Wenbo interrupted him.

Xiao Liang: "..."

"It's Wen He." Xing Wenbo said.

The air was quiet for several seconds.

"...What?" Xiao Liang asked.

"Wen He."

"Wen He?"

"Yeah." Xing Wenbo nodded unabashedly, "I like him."

Xiao Liang tried his best to understand this logic.Xing Wenbo knew that he had already figured it out.

He wanted to talk to Xiao Liang about this matter for a long time. He felt a little guilty if he didn't talk about it the day before, but he still couldn't find a reasonable time.

Now he understands.

What I have been unable to say are "I like men", "I am gay", "I am GAY", "I am different from you".

And at this moment he could speak. "I like him." What I like is that one person.Just that one person.

"You..." Xiao Liang opened his mouth, and Xing Wenbo interrupted him again, "I know what you want to ask, I've known this for a long time, sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you."

Xiao Liang was stunned.

Xing Wenbo actually said "sorry" to him.

"Actually," Xing Wenbo laughed self-deprecatingly, "I knew it in my freshman year of high school."

On the first day of high school enrollment, a group of senior freshmen crowded in front of the class schedule and made noise. It was at that time that Xing Wenbo and Wen He passed by.

Wen He was wearing a brand-new school uniform, white shirt, dark trousers, white sneakers, and carrying a schoolbag. He stood alone behind the crowd, with his head slightly raised, and quietly scanned the class schedule across the crowd.The sunlight hits his hair, his side face has sharp lines, and his Adam's apple is very prominent.

He remembered this boy that day, but he didn't know why he remembered it.It wasn't until two and a half years later, when he said the phrase "the moonlight is so beautiful" to this person on New Year's Eve, that he recalled it in a daze, and it turned out that his story started from that moment.

Earthy, Xing Wenbo also felt that he was very earthy and extremely superficial, just like the countless girls he had avoided who fell in love with him at first sight.

But the primitive impulse to "like" was unreasonable, and he couldn't suppress it.

Later, by chance, he and Wen He met on the court.Xing Wenbo's unconscious heart started beating. He tried to get close to Wen He, but was forced back eight hundred miles by Wen He's cold air.

Xing Wenbo didn't think much about it at the time. He already had friends all over the world, so it wouldn't hurt to make one more.As for the future... we will talk about it later.

But Wen He's enchantment is perfect.Xing Wenbo thought for a while, that's all, he was forcing something, people were not happy, and they couldn't force it.

They are not the same kind of people, there is no need to force them.

He complained to Xiao Liang, and the matter passed.

But Wen He awakened his self-awareness to some extent.He gradually realized that he was different from others.

Being different is "heterogeneous", such a label is the mortal enemy of adolescence, and even the original sin of being human.

He and Xiao Liang grew up naked together. He is the captain of the school basketball team. He laughs and fights with so many boys every day. He is Brother Xing who is regarded as a role model by many juniors.

And this he is an outlier.

Xiao Liang, brother and classmate of the school basketball team, after this, can it be assumed that nothing has changed?Wouldn't they have the slightest hesitation when they hooked up with him again and called him brothers and sisters?

How dare he admit it, to whom should he admit it, no matter how dazzling his position is in the eyes of others, how indestructible he seems, but he is also afraid and cowardly.

Xing Wenbo searched a lot of information on the Internet. He wanted to verify himself once and for all. He either quit or went straight to the ruthless. He found a local bar that was quite famous in the circle.

On a dark and windy night, I went there alone.

This bizarre "inner world" opened his eyes.Xing Wenbo attracted countless eyes as soon as he entered the arena.Within 5 minutes of sitting down, someone came to buy him a drink.

In less than an hour, Xing Wenbo left in a hurry, leaning on the seat when unlocking the bicycle, feeling a little nauseous.

It's not that he hates anyone, let alone a certain type of person, but the undisguised desire in the other person's eyes when he looks at him makes him feel strongly uncomfortable.

I was a little dazed for a moment, not knowing which world he was from.

Fortunately, he is still young, so he can forget about these things for now.Growing up will come eventually, but at least not today.

Then, on the day when he was about to enter his third year of high school, he asked Wen He, "How did you match me?"

Why me?

Wen He said: "I chose to match only men."

The little confusion in my heart got an unexpected answer.He met a fellow...a companion.

A man who can fight side by side.

In front of this person, he no longer has to tense every nerve, maintaining his perfect personality in front of his family, friends, and classmates.

It was as if there was a place that could be called "belonging".

"Xing Wenbo." Xiao Liang's face was gloomy.

Xing Wenbo turned around from the railing and faced Xiao Liang.

Xiao Liang took a step closer and punched him.

The left side of Xing Wenbo's face hurt, and he fell to the ground, a fishy sweetness overflowed from the corner of his mouth, Xiao Liang's punch really didn't contain any water.

Xiao Liang grabbed his collar, "That's why you fucking do it?!"

The two faced each other high and low.Xiao Liang wanted to punch again, and Xing Wenbo also became fierce, "Why the hell are you crazy?!"

"I should just beat you to death," Xiao Liang sprayed all his saliva on Xing Wenbo's face, "You hid from me for so long just because of such a trivial matter? Would you die if you said it straight? Brother?!"

For a while, he was really afraid, afraid that he would lose this young boy who had sworn to be a good brother all his life.

And he still doesn't understand why.

This is really irritating.

Xing Wenbo was taken aback, and pushed Xiao Liang away, "Think about what you have said."

Xiao Liang was stunned, "What did I say?"

"In the first year of high school, watch the film with Cai Long and the others, and you can taste it yourself." Xing Wenbo said.

Xiao Liang was silent.

One weekend in the first year of high school, a group of people from the school basketball team finished practice together. Someone suggested that they go to Xiao Liang's house to watch a movie at night.

Of course, I watched the kind of movies that boys like to watch.

One of the boys in the team, Cai Long, was in charge of providing resources, and he didn’t know where his resources came from. There were all kinds of miscellaneous things. Everyone nestled in Xiao Liang’s room, locked the door, and tried to let them go one by one with great interest. .

Unexpectedly, traitors were mixed into the resources, and a film with only male protagonists and no female protagonists was released.

Everyone didn't react at first, thinking that the heroine hadn't appeared yet, Cai Long, who was in charge of operating the equipment, pulled the progress bar to the middle, and a group of people were stunned, looking at the extreme sports that several men were doing on the screen I was speechless.

"Fuck!" Xiao Liang roared angrily, "Cai Long is so good at you!"

Cai Long was so panicked that he couldn't find the exit button, he slammed the laptop shut, "It's not that I didn't—accident, it was really an accident—"

A group of people roared with laughter, and they all grabbed Cai Long and made a fuss. Xiao Liang even felt a little nauseated because he ate too much at night, so he went to the bathroom right away, "Damn, homosexuality is too hot for eyes——"

The moment Xing Wenbo saw that kind of picture, he had a very strange feeling, shocked, but not disgusted, far less disgusted than the pictures of those men and women just now.

But when Xiao Liang said this, Xing Wenbo's feelings were all shaken out of his mind.

He looked at Xiao Liang's back and said nothing afterwards.

"I..." Xiao Liang vaguely remembered his reaction at that time, and was at a loss for words for a while, "...you fucking said it a long time ago and it's over! I'm a person who can't talk but has a brain, you know from the first day? What if I say something that makes you If you're upset, won't you do it?!"

"Pfft—" Xing Wenbo couldn't hold back this time and smiled.

"Laugh at you," Xiao Liang was still angry, "I told you that we are not over yet, you won't let me beat you up, it's going to be hard for you—" As he said that, he rushed forward and planned to continue the fight.

Xing Wenbo climbed up while enjoying himself, dodging Xiao Liang's fists and feet, and the two quickly wrestled together again, fighting, and a person slowly walked up the stairs.

The two stopped their movements at the same time and turned to look at Wen He.

Wen He also stayed where he was, watching them.

After a while, Wen He said: "...you continue." He turned around calmly and left.

Xiao Liang looked at Xing Wenbo, and Xing Wenbo looked at Xiao Liang. The two of them stayed for a long while and laughed.

I don't know what I'm laughing at, I just want to laugh anyway.

"Why do you like him?" Xiao Liang leaned against the railing and asked.

He has no concept of a man's good looks. In his eyes, Wen He is like a lump of ice, colorless, odorless and permeating.

"Just... I like everything," Xing Wenbo said, "Look at him just now, isn't he quite stylish?"

"What style?" Xiao Liang said cheerfully, "Isn't it a human style? Are you a M-shaking kid? You still prefer the kind that hurts with magic."

Xing Wenbo kicked over again.

"Damn, the soles of your shoes are full of mud," Xiao Liang scolded angrily, "My mother has to nag me again."

"But to be honest," Xiao Liang said suddenly, patting his pants, "I'm not surprised either."

"Ok?"

"I have known you for 18 years, but I have never seen you fall in love with any woman." Xiao Liang said.

Xing Wenbo was speechless.

"Okay, now I'm mentally balanced," Xiao Liang patted him on the shoulder again, "You don't want so many beautiful girls chasing after you, do you know how painful it is for me to look at you? Now I understand, you are so disgusting no."

Xing Wenbo: "..."

"By the way," Xiao Liang asked again, "Does he know?"

Xing Wenbo thought for a while, "I should know."

Xiao Liang frowned, "Should I? Are you still secretly in love?"

Xing Wenbo scratched his head, "I've already said it."

"What did you say?" Xiao Liang took a while to come back to his senses, "Are you confessing?"

"Ah."

"How did he react?"

"...No rejection."

Xiao Liang stared at Xing Wenbo inexplicably, "What do you mean by not refusing? No, what stage have you reached now?"

Xing Wenbo also looked at Xiao Liang without a word, "Are you sure you want to hear the details?"

"..." The picture in his mind was so beautiful that Xiao Liang didn't dare to imagine it at all, so he shook his head decisively, "I don't want to."

"But the relationship between brothers is a big deal, I can't ignore it." Xiao Liang said.

Xing Wenbo was puzzled, what should he do?

"According to my many years of experience in eating melons," Xiao Liang hooked his neck, "Men, you have to take the initiative."
