After the preliminary examination, the teachers in each class of the second year of high school did not follow too closely, fearing that they would not be able to bear it, and even assigned a lot less homework.But the students in Class A knew that the storm hadn't stopped, because the mid-term exam would be in a while, and these days were just a temporary respite.

The physics competition is getting closer and closer. These days, Jiang Yu and Zi Luo seldom go out to play. They either stay in the physics laboratory or spend time in the library, or they sit at the desk together to study the questions, and the draft paper is almost full. desk.

At this time, Jiang Yu's chin was resting on the desk, he closed his eyes and opened them again, and murmured like a dream: "...I miss the holiday."

Zi Luo's room was cleaned up very clean, and there was a sweet smell in the air. He kept holding the pen and said, "Don't think about it, there is a final exam before the holiday."

"Hey——" Jiang Yu sat up straight, slapped his hand heavily on the exercise book, and turned to look at him, "Take a break, Luoluo, play the first piece and listen."

Although the holiday has passed, sometimes Xu Meiyin would not go home at noon in the store, and Jiang Dezhi would not return from time to time, and would not take the initiative to inform Jiang Yu.Xie Xiaoan and Zi Chengmin didn't come back today, so Jiang Yu and Zi Luo went to eat potato noodles, didn't even sleep at noon, and did their homework until now.

The sun was just right outside, and the weather wasn't that cold. Zi Luo just finished a problem and didn't answer. He took Jiang Yu's notebook and looked at it. There was nothing wrong.

Really tired, Zi Luo didn't write anymore, walked to the piano and sat down, Jiang Yu didn't move, just turned around.

Everywhere in Baihua Hutong is very quiet, especially in the afternoon and night, occasionally there are a few barking dogs, and after that it is so quiet that no human voice can be heard.

The heavy piano sounded, and Jiang Yu listened to it for a while, and realized that he had heard this piece of music when he was a child. Later, Zi Luo would play it to him from time to time. Zi Luo said it was nonsense, but he liked it very much.

The slow and gentle piano music in the lazy afternoon seems to be able to dissipate all the distracting thoughts in his heart. Jiang Yu supported his head with his hands, and he had memorized the melody, and hummed softly along with Zi Luo in his heart. I will.

In the past, Ziluo played this piece for about a minute or so, but this time it took a long time. Jiang Yu didn't know how many minutes it was, but he could tell that the piece was gradually becoming complete.He couldn't help asking, "Did you compose the song yourself?"

After the last note, Zi Luo nodded: "Well, let's just listen."

"How can I make do with it?" Jiang Yu said, "It sounds so good, did you name it?"

Zi Luo was silent for two seconds: "No."

"You two are quite leisurely and elegant—"

A voice came from the door, and Jiang Yu and Zi Luo turned their heads to look at the same time, and found that Hou Yi, Zhong Tian, ​​and Zhou Shuosuo were all at the door, and they didn't know when they came in.

Hou Yi continued: "Won't the news hide in the house and play the piano?!"

Jiang Yu looked at them and was slightly taken aback: "What news?"

"We sent a message in the group after one o'clock, and neither of you replied." Zhong Tian entered the room, "Let's go play."

Jiang Yu looked at the group messages on his phone, and sure enough, there were, and he and Zi Luo were also called by Aite.After one o'clock, he and Zi Luo were busy brushing up questions, so they probably didn't notice it.

One of the basketball courts was occupied, while the other was empty. A few people played until dusk. Hou Yi had a performance at night, so they discussed going to the Time Zone together.

The business is very good in normal times, and it is almost full on weekends. When they went, there was no good seat. In the end, the waiter cleared up a table slightly in the back, and the stage can be seen clearly from this direction.

Qiu Ning was sitting on the bench holding the guitar. There was a little girl talking to him in the audience. During the conversation, she looked over here.

The table was full of snacks and more than a dozen bottles of beer were served. Jiang Yu didn't drink, and stuffed melon seeds into his mouth to watch the performance, and suddenly said, "I want to learn guitar too."

Zi Luo said: "Didn't I teach you before? You didn't learn it."

Jiang Yu clicked his tongue, recalling the scene when Zi Luo taught him how to play the guitar, he couldn't concentrate at all, thinking it would be strange if he could learn it.

"I will definitely learn if I study hard."

"Learn to catch girls." Zhou Shuosuo said to him, holding a beer in his hand, "The little girl will be fascinated by you in the audience."

Jiang Yu said: "What kind of girls are you fishing for? Who said learning guitar is for girls."

After he finished speaking, he ignored Zhou Shuosuo. On the stage, Qiu Ning was singing, and the surroundings were quite noisy.Jiang Yu moved closer to Zi Luo, staring at his neckline: "If I learn it, we can go on stage together again in the future."

When Jiang Yu said this, he was afraid that Ziluo would not be able to hear him, but he was also afraid that Zhou Shuosuo and Zhongtian who were on the opposite side would hear him, so he couldn't completely lower his voice, so Ziluo's ears were a little hoarse and low, as if there was something else Meaning, he couldn't help turning his head to look at each other.

Jiang Yu was fixed there at such a close distance, raised his head slightly to stare at Zi Luo, and even forgot to lean back.

"What's the matter?" In the end, he didn't hold back, Jiang Yu said, "We can go on stage together when we go to college. You play the piano and I play the guitar. How about just playing the piece you made yourself?"

Zi Luo's gaze is like a magnet, it seems that it will suck him in after staring at it for a long time.

"Okay." Zi Luo smiled, his eyes brightened, "You must study hard."

Jiang Yu said affirmatively, "Don't worry, I'll practice when I have free time."

After staying in time for about two or three hours, Xu Meiyin called to remind her. The surroundings were too noisy, so Jiang Yu couldn't answer, so she just replied a message.

I don’t know if Xu Meiyin went to find Xie Xiaoan, Jiang Yu also called Xie Xiaoan just after returning, Jiang Yu heard Zi Luo say "immediately", their family is very strict, Zhong Tian and Zhou Shuoshuo are full After drinking enough and looking at the time, it is indeed time to go home.

During the intermission, Qiu Ning and a few people sent them outside the door. Shen Zi went to the bathroom on the way before he had time, Qiu Ning said, "Let's have dinner together some other day."

Zi Luo nodded, and after saying goodbye, he and Jiang Yu walked to another street.

The two of them didn't drink a drop of wine at night, didn't eat any staple food, and their stomachs were empty.Jiang Yu looked at the long shadow on the ground and took a big step to step on it.

He stepped on the shadow of Ziluo, and when Ziluo walked forward, he stepped forward again, and after several steps, he couldn't help touching his nose for joy.Zi Luo originally wanted to play with him, but he didn't know if he was infected or what, so he stepped on Jiang Yu's shadow.

Jiang Yu hurriedly jumped away, pretending to shout: "It hurts!"

Zi Luo laughed a few times and said, "Why don't you become an actor, work hard to win an Oscar."

"Tsk." Jiang Yu said with a smile, "Really?"

"You're so tall."

Jiang Yu took a few steps forward, but he didn't have enough fun, so he jumped forward and stepped on Zi Luo's shadow: "When I was young, I was a head shorter than you. At that time, I thought I couldn't grow taller, so I was so scared Half dead."

"Well, I still remember the way you glared at me because of this." Zi Luo looked forward and said.

Jiang Yu let out an "ah", and couldn't help laughing when he thought of that scene: "Why am I so naive!"

Zi Luo glanced at him, wanting to say that you are quite naive now.

"But I'm content now, just a little bit shorter than you." Jiang Yu also stretched out his index finger and thumb to gesture, "Hou Yidu asked me what I ate and suddenly grew so tall, which made him very angry. "

The boy's figure was elongated by the light, full of vigor.Zi Luo lowered his eyes and watched Jiang Yu having fun playing. He remembered that Jiang Yu was quite autistic when he was a child. He was bored at first, but then he became lively and ran behind him with the ball in his arms.

Zi Luo said, "Don't step on it, it hurts me too."

Jiang Yu stopped walking, and looked at Zi Luo with long legs: "Where does it hurt, I can't tell, you can act like me."

After a stalemate for about ten seconds, Zi Luo took a look at where Jiang Yu was stepping on his shadow, and covered his heart very cooperatively and let out an ah.

"Pfft——" Jiang Yu laughed very loudly, "Luoluo, if you debut as an actor, you will be scolded to death!"

Zi Luo raised his foot to kick him, but Jiang Yu had already pulled away when he was smiling, and ran forward in a hurry.Zi Luo chased after him, and when he caught up with him, he kicked him, stepping heavily on Jiang Yu's shadow.

Not to be outdone, Jiang Yu took a big step to step back, just arguing with each other childishly, Jiang Yu shouted: "If you kick me again, I won't be polite!"

"How impolite?" Zi Luo said, "A fight?"

"I'm not going to fight you." Jiang Yu thought in his heart that I would not be willing to fight you, and just after thinking about it, his footsteps slipped, "Fuck——"

I don't know who was the first to lose his footing. Jiang Yu only knew that when he lost his center of gravity, he grabbed Ziluo's arm, and his eyes darkened as if he had crashed into a warm embrace. When he regained consciousness, he had already He was firmly grasped by Zi Luo.

Zi Luo supported his arm with one hand, while the other stopped at his waist in confusion, the two of them are now in a half-hug.

But in this situation, no one let go of their hands first, just stood under the streetlight and looked at each other stupidly.The two of them were too close, and Jiang Yu watched Zi Luo's lips slightly open, and when they moved up, there were pupils as black as ink.

Zi Luo's eyes are really beautiful.

What a mess.

But why doesn't he let go?

Didn't react?It shouldn't be, how many seconds have passed?

His hand is still holding my waist?Fuck...really...

"that……"

As soon as Jiang Yu opened his mouth, he let go of Ziluo, looked away for a while, and looked back at him, with the same expression as usual: "Are you able to stand still?"

"Ah." Jiang Yu said in a daze, "Yes."

There was still the last bus on the way home, and I had to wait for a long time before arriving.Jiang Yu didn't know what to talk about until he got in the car and sat down. His heartbeat hadn't really slowed down until now, as if it had been stopped at the moment when he crashed into Zi Luo's arms.

Zi Luo doesn't wear perfume, but he has a faint fragrance, which makes people feel better, but now it smells like a catalyst, and Jiang Yu can't calm down at all.

Sitting inside, he saw Zi Luo's side face reflected in the window, calmly as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Yu closed his eyes, thinking the same thing, he would only be flustered if he liked Zi Luo, but Zi Luo only regarded him as his best friend, so he wouldn't feel anything else at all.

Jiang Yu turned his face out of the window along the way, peeking at Zi Luo's profile on the glass window when he was not paying attention, but remained silent all the time, and Zi Luo unexpectedly did not speak.

There were very few people on the last bus, and the driver drove very fast.Jiang Yu couldn't see Zi Luo's tightly clenched fists hanging by his legs, he couldn't see his unnaturally pursed lips, and he couldn't hear Zi Luo's heartbeat that could still make him deafen even now.

He was so stupid that he didn't know anything, he only knew that his heart was so stuffy that someone blocked the exit, he knew where the exit was, but he couldn't reach it.

Baihua Hutong became much less crowded at night, until they turned into the alley and stopped in front of their own house, neither of them really said a few words.

This feeling was very weird, Jiang Yu was afraid that Zi Luo would feel awkward and would mind, so he stopped in front of the door and refused to leave.

Zi Luo didn't move, and turned to look at him: "Your homework is still at my house, I'll bring it out for you tomorrow?"

"Oh, okay." Jiang Yu replied, but his mind was not on homework. After staying for a long time, he didn't know how to speak. Afraid of being anxious, he opened his mouth and said, "See you tomorrow."

Zi Luo stood under the silvery white light, without looking away, looked at him for a while before humming.

Jiang Yu said good night and almost ran away in a hurry, afraid that Zi's heavy eyes would see that something was wrong with him, the door was locked from the inside and he rushed back to the room, and sat on the bed for half an hour before going to wash.

His stomach gurgled several times, and Jiang Yu scratched his hair irritably. In fact, he came out of time and wanted to have supper with Zi Luo, because the two of them didn't eat at night, but there was an episode that distracted him. It was messed up, and I couldn't feel hungry at that moment.

Jiang Yu went to the living room to look for food. It was impossible to expect Jiang Dezhi to buy some snacks, but Xu Meiyin didn't know how to buy them either. He just bought some fruits from time to time, nothing else.

In the end, Jiang Yu washed an apple and went back to the house to gnaw. While gnawing, he packed his schoolbag and lay on the bed to continue gnawing.

"The more you eat this apple, the more hungry you become..." Jiang Yu listened to his stomach growling, and put the unfinished apple on the bedside.

He reached for his mobile phone and looked at the top box chatting with Zi Luo, opened it and saw that the chat record stopped in the morning Zi Luo asked him to go to his house to do homework together, and he finally sent an "OK" emoji with a big smile on his face.

Zi Luo didn't eat at night, isn't he hungry?

Jiang Yu opened the chat box and typed: Are you hungry... After typing it, I thought it was not safe to delete it, so after thinking about it, I typed again: Going out for supper?

No, go out when you get home, what if Zi Luo is going to bed after washing up?

Jiang Yu buried his head in the soft pillow, and smelled the delicious fragrance from Zi Luo's body in a trance, he raised his head for a moment, then moved his nose closer to smell it, what did it look like? !

When Xie Xiaoan heard Zi Luo came back, he said "close the door" and fell asleep. Zi Luo stood in his room for a while, feeling a little hungry, only to realize that he hadn't eaten that night.

He went to the table in the living room to see if there were any leftover dishes and ate casually, making little noise to avoid waking Xie Xiaoan, but Xie Xiaoan seemed to have no leftovers, so Ziluo opened the refrigerator, and there were only fruits and milk in it.

Zi Luo took a bottle of milk back to the room, reached for the phone, clicked on the emoji with a big smiling face making an "OK" gesture, paused for a long time in front of the screen, and slowly typed: Do you want to go out to eat? thing?

Zi Luo remembered that Jiang Yu was very quiet along the way and walked forward without looking hungry at all. After thinking about it, he thought it was inappropriate and deleted it.Another sentence: Aren't you hungry if you haven't eaten at night?

No way, Jiang Yu is the type who will say it whenever he is hungry and will fill his stomach immediately, but he didn't mention this along the way, maybe he is really not hungry, right?

Zi Luo put down his phone to charge it, and poured himself a bottle of milk, while Jiang Yusheng picked up the unfinished apple in his arms.
