But he calls me baby [campus]

========================

……what?

There was a light beep, and the voice suddenly ended.

Qi Sibai blinked.The ear seemed to be burned by that voice, and there was a slight heat, but the brain hadn't been able to process the last two syllables.

Little J said something... oh, ask him what he is doing.

Qi Sibai leaned on the side of the bed with his elbows, trying to sit up.The moment the back of the head left the headboard, there was a muffled sound and it hit the wall.

He rubbed the back of his head, thinking about what else Xiao J said.

Oh, he called him baby.

...Little J called him baby? !

Qi Sibai stared.

He, a big boy, 1.8 meters three, six-pack abs.Called baby by another boy? ?

...his mother didn't even call him that!

While Qi Sibai was surprised, there was also a bit of sulking in his heart that he couldn't laugh or cry.

He just picked up the mobile phone and wanted to argue with Xiao J about who is the baby. He pressed his left elbow on the edge of the bed, slid it, and pressed it empty.

He lost his balance and rolled over from the bed.

With a "boom" sound from his left hand, he leaned heavily on the ground, while holding the phone with his right hand, it hit the ground with a "slap" along with the screen of the phone.

There was a loud noise, and Qi Sibai was stunned for two seconds, feeling as if all the scattered drowsiness in him had been thrown away.

Soon there was a rustling sound from the next room, followed by Grandma Qi's voice: "Xiaobai? What's the matter?"

The elderly are light sleepers and sometimes prone to insomnia.A little loud noise outside the house can wake them up.

Qi Sibai came back to his senses, and hurriedly shouted: "Grandma, it's okay!"

When Grandma Qi rushed to the door to take a look, Qi Sibai had already got up from the ground grinning.

"Why did you fall off the bed?" Grandma was amused and distressed, "... What kind of new trick is this, are you doing acrobatics every day?"

Qi Sibai coughed, "No, my hand slipped."

Grandma Qi didn't wear reading glasses, so she narrowed her eyes and tried her best to look at the wall clock on the wall, "Is it so early in the morning?"

Qi Sibai looked at the hour hand pointing at eleven on the wall, he hesitated to comfort grandma, and let her go back to her room and continue to sleep.

Lying back on the bed, Qi Sibai buried himself under the quilt, unlocked the screen again, and watched the three-second voice.

...is it only three seconds?

When it was played just now, he felt like a hopping rabbit in his heart, and the voice seemed extremely long.

Qi Sibai took a breath, and spoke seriously——

Or what are you doing.

Then, there was a light, shallow, chaotic but clear breathing sound.

Finally, there was another baby.

Hearing Xiao J say this word for the second time, Qi Sibai's expression was still distorted for a moment.He only felt that the heat behind his ears was getting hotter, and the heat spread to his cheeks, and his brain was exploding.

He said silently in his heart, Xiao J is such a person, don't make a fuss.

Little J has even sent kisses so many times, now... isn't it just an extra word of baby?

——But voice and text are different!

Voice seems to be able to cut off the indifferent distance drawn by the electronic screen.

Much more intimate and real than words.

Qi Sibai was silent for a moment.

He thought that Xiao J's behavior style has always been different from other people, and he must respect the differences in the world.

After finally dissipating the heat from his face, Qi Sibai took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, and wanted to listen to Xiao J's voice with a pure appreciation attitude.

After all... Isn't it because of his nice voice and singing that he added Xiao J's WeChat in the first place?

Voice bar for three seconds.Qi Sibai clicked, waited for a while, clicked, waited for a while.I don't know what I'm listening to, and I can hear different details every time.

There is the sound of whistling wind in the background, and vehicles whistling past.

There is Xiao J's deliberately low and charming ending, and there is a little hoarseness in the depths of his voice.

That voice seemed a little drunk, but also extremely sober.

Qi Sibai lay on his back on the bed, holding up his phone, and he didn't know how many times he poked it.Until I somehow let go of my hand, the phone tilted and fell straight down, and the corner hit the cheekbone with a bang.

Natural tears welled up in the eye sockets.

Qi Sibai was a little dazed from being smashed, his right hand was groping for the dropped mobile phone at the side of his face, and the sound played in the earphones just seemed to be echoing in his head over and over again.

Although, Xiao J always speaks in this familiar style.

Although, Little J might be a slender and cute boy.

but.

Qi Sibai lay on the spot and blinked again.

He called me... baby.

Qi Sibai picked up his phone, turned over and lay down on the bed, and clicked on the reply box.

The cursor flickered one after another, his mind was empty, he even thought about whether to search it, and how to reply when someone called him baby.

His eyes were wandering, and he suddenly remembered that he was staring at the time at the top of the screen while poking the voice bar just now.He listened to it for 4 minutes in total, estimated at ten seconds...he listened to it 24 times.

Oh, before I finished listening to the last time, the phone fell off and the earphones were ripped off.Just count it 23 times.

Qi Sibai pressed his arms on his forehead, a little dumbfounded, he couldn't tell whether it was for himself or Xiao J.

Little J drank.

Little J sent a voice message to him.

Little J's voice is still very nice.

But after 23 times, Qi Sibai could vaguely feel that Xiao J deliberately lowered his voice and dragged the end of his voice when speaking, deliberately reflecting the deceptive texture in his voice.

……Can even those who are not straight call someone baby in such a casual and seductive voice?

But he is straight!

The place where it was hit just now faintly began to swell up and up. He rubbed the swollen cheekbones with the back of his hand, and finally regained his composure in his mind.

Little J asked him what he was doing.As for the phrase "baby, baby, just ignore it."

Qi Sibai felt like his face was just like a boiling hot water pot, the kind that was bald and steamed out.It was only now that he barely calmed down.

He paused with his fingertips and started typing.Before the message was sent, another voice popped up in the dialog box.

Qi Sibai put on the earphones, and tried to click on it.

It was a question with a smile: "Are you writing some small composition?"

Qi Sibai was ridiculed by him in the air, so he snapped back his short reply: [I'm doing competition questions. ]

After 2 minutes, there is still no reply.

Qi Sibai flexed his fingers, and said again: "What about you?" ]

This time, Little J quickly returned a voice: "Hmm...you guess?"

Qi Sibai couldn't hold back and smiled.It was nearly twelve o'clock in the evening, and Xiao J asked him to guess what he was doing?If he hadn't heard fans talk about Mian Ji, where would he have guessed?

Cheese: [Resonance around the beam offline party? ]

Little J gave a low laugh and asked, "How do you know?"

Qi Sibai didn't think much about it, and replied: [I heard it on the YY channel of your club on Saturday]

Immediately, he curled his fingertips.

The people on both sides of the chat box seemed to pause at the same time.

Qi Sibai realized belatedly that the chat between him and Xiao J seemed to be the same as usual.The possible gap that I thought before actually didn't exist at all.

Sexual orientation is a personal choice, and he has no intention of interfering with others.And he and Xiao J are just netizens who have met because of their online identities, and can even occasionally chat about competition questions together, that's all.

He seemed to have accidentally punctured something just now, but it all depends on Xiao J whether to say it or not.

He waited patiently for a while, and Xiao J switched to text.

J: [Did you hear that? ]

Cheese: [um]

J: [What do you think? ]

Qi Sibai was taken aback.

Little J came out in public, why did you ask him what he thought?

Cheese: [Your words that day were very handsome]

J: [No more? ]

J: [You are not disgusted? ]

Cheese: [your choice]

Qi Sibai didn't want Xiao J to misunderstand, so he replied very simply.

There was silence for a while, and Qi Sibai was tired of waiting, so he lay down and nestled under the quilt again, and decided to change the topic to something more lively.

Cheese: [Just curious, do you... all like to call other people baby? ? ]

When Qi Sibai typed out the word baby, he still felt a little ashamed.

J: [? ]

Cheese: [You... circle? ]

Little J seemed to try his best to comprehend Qi Sibai's meaning for a while, and then sent another voice.

Qi Sibai was a little nervous, but when he opened his mouth, he heard a burst of laughter again: "Ah, you said that."

"We fans like to call people we like baby." Xiao J said, his voice seemed hoarse with a little grievance: "Other fans can call you baby, but I can't."

In the background sound, the wind howled, as if it could bring coolness through the earphones.

Little J seemed to be very serious in explaining, but Qi Sibai felt inexplicably that this person was talking nonsense seriously.

Another voice played over there: "I still have an emoji pack here, do you want to see it?"

Cheese: [? ]

Little J quickly sent over a few cat expression packs such as "Let me see what the baby is doing now (peek).jpg", "My baby is so beautiful (fascinated) (stopped).jpg".

Qi Sibai's ears were warmed by Xiao J's mouthful of baby at first, and then he was so shocked by the "baby" that filled the screen that he couldn't speak.

He suddenly had some serious doubts. After a while, he wouldn't even be immune to being called a baby by Little J, right? ?

While Qi Sibai was stunned, he was really amazed at the way Little J got along with others.

He sighed helplessly.He is a straight man, and he doesn't want to reply to Xiao J's nonsense words, but Xiao J calls him baby.He is always easy to be fooled by Little J's sweet talk, bah, nonsense.

Qi Sibai thought that tonight's late-night heart-to-heart talk would be over, and was about to tell Xiao J that it would be cold at night, when Xiao J suddenly sent another message.

J: [You ignored me for several days, I thought you mind]

J: [So you really don't mind? ]

Cheese: [none]

Cheese: [It's just that I heard you say that the other day, and I suddenly guessed that a classmate beside me...]

Over there, "the other party is typing..." was displayed for a long time.

J: [Why do you guess so? ]

Cheese: [Just... I feel that he is different from the boys I knew before. ]

Qi Sibai has been more or less depressed these days, and he doesn't know who to talk to with his random thoughts.Now that Xiao J asked, he told the other party some trivial and ethereal things in bits and pieces.

J: [If he was, would you avoid him]

Qi Sibai was stunned.Little J's question is really... straight to the point.

He initially kept a distance from Jiang Yusheng because there were too many rumors in the school.But since Saturday, his thoughts have become difficult to understand even for himself.

Qi Sibai also wanted to answer "No" frankly, but in the end he told the truth: [... I don't know. ]

When the message was sent out, he suddenly realized that it was prone to ambiguity.He didn't know if he would hide, not because he was disgusted, but...

The phone suddenly vibrated again.

J: [I think, he is not]

J: [Some boys treat their friends like this, it has nothing to do with whether they are the same or not]

Cheese: [Really? ]

J: [Rarely encounter in life, rest assured]

Qi Sibai was silent for a moment.

Borrowing homework, blackmailing milk tea, delivering water... Indeed, it can also be just a way of getting along with friends.

He originally just had a lot of confusion and strange conjectures about this group.Now that Xiao J said this, he seemed to have a calming needle in his heart, making him calm down for a moment.

On Wednesday morning, Qi Sibai got up a little late, and when he walked out of the apartment building, he realized that today's sky was even more gloomy than the previous two days.

A few dragonflies hovered lowly beside the grass, the air was stagnant and stuffy, and it felt like a rainstorm was about to fall at any moment.

Qi Sibai first went to the cabinet to get the vocabulary book, and when he hurried to the English morning reading classroom, he happened to meet Jiang Yusheng who was going upstairs at the stairs.

Qi Sibai slowed down by half a step, recalling what Xiao J had said to him with certainty yesterday, when he raised his head, he met Jiang Yuesheng's eyes.

Jiang Yusheng's expression was calm and sleepy.

Qi Sibai paused, and said "Morning" to him with a smile.

Jiang Yusheng seemed a little surprised, but also seemed to remain calm.He also said "Morning" softly, and then naturally walked beside Qi Sibai.

Qi Sibai and Jiang Yusheng walked side by side at a distance, and nodded to him——

Look, don't be cranky.Everything is normal.

After entering the morning reading classroom, Qi Sibai and Jiang Yuesheng parted ways.After he sat in the seat he had occupied in advance, Mu Yangcheng came over to gossip: "Hey! Did you come with Jiang Yusheng?"

Qi Sibai flipped through the vocabulary book, looked at him warily, and said "no" to cut off all of Mu Yangcheng's imagination.

Mu Yangcheng let out a cry, sat back and memorized half a page of vocabulary, and couldn't help poking his head over: "Sometimes you don't know each other, and then you respect each other like a guest. Is this the fun of getting along between you big brothers?"

"..." Qi Sibai skillfully raised his hand to pinch the back of Mu Yangcheng's neck, "If Mr. He hears you using idioms indiscriminately, he will be so angry that he will punish you to copy the idiom dictionary."

Mu Yangcheng patted Qi Sibai's hand, and said casually, "By the way, I heard that the end of our semester has been brought forward to the end of June."

The grade has not yet issued an official notice, Qi Sibai looked at him in surprise: "The end of June? Isn't it always the middle of July in previous years?"

"This year, it seems that the quasi-senior year's return to school review was brought forward half a month, so after the end of the sophomore year, the group training in the suburbs was also brought forward half a month, and the end of the term was squeezed to the end of June."

Qi Sibai let out an oh, shrugged his shoulders: "Then let's advance, what's wrong?"

"The training after the final exam is the last group outing before the third year of high school graduation, so you have to plan in advance what to bring to eat, drink, and play... I heard that you can also bring a tent to go camping?" Mu Yangcheng excitedly He bumped into Qi Sibai.

In Qi Sibai's impression, the quasi-senior year's training does not seem to be an easy "outing", but he saw that Mu Yangcheng was having fun at the same place, so he didn't say much.

After noon, the rain began to patter.

Halfway through, the drizzle turned into a heavy rain. It was sporadic for an hour, and then became hoarse again. It was a continuous drizzle until the end of school time in the evening.

Qi Sibai packed his schoolbag, rummaged through the cabinet for a long time, and found an old folding umbrella that he could barely cope with.When he passed by 307, he was grabbed by Mr. Chen, and asked him to help him go to the first floor to pass a message, asking Jing Yanbin to come to 307.

Qi Sibai was ordered to go downstairs, and when he passed the lobby on the first floor, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Yuesheng's back.

A tall and tall figure leaned against the side door, eye-catching, looking at the vast rain in front of the high school building.

After Qi Sibai finished delivering the message to Jing Yanbin, he returned to the central hall.When he approached the gate, he found Jiang Yuesheng with his head down, looking at the raindrops splashing on the steps in front of the teaching building.

He looked at Jiang Yusheng a few times, and suddenly realized that Jiang Yusheng didn't bring an umbrella and was waiting for the rain to subside.

Jiang Yusheng heard him approaching, raised his chin as a greeting, and then turned back to continue looking outside.

Qi Sibai hesitated for a moment, lowered his eyes, shook his umbrella, and walked slowly to the door. When he passed by Jiang Yuesheng, he propped up the umbrella above his head.

Half of the umbrella was exposed to the rain, and the raindrops made a tinkling sound.

Qi Sibai's footsteps paused, and when he turned his head, Jiang Yusheng was also looking up.

Under the eaves and amidst the sound of the verdant rain, the two silently looked at each other for a few seconds.

Qi Sibai curled his lower lip suddenly, teasing him for a long time: "Jiangshen, are you going to stand here and enjoy the rain?"

Jiang Yusheng tore off his schoolbag belt casually, fell silent for a second, and walked down the steps Qi Sibai gave him: "Then, can God Qi take me home?"

"...Speed," Qi Sibai smiled angrily, and pointed to the vacant half of the umbrella, "Come in."

Jiang Yusheng took two steps to Qi Sibai's side, and then Qi Sibai pulled the sleeve of his coat, and the two squeezed together awkwardly, walking into the rain.

The umbrella is not big, and it is actually a little bit reluctant for two big boys to hold it together.Qi Sibai naturally tilted the umbrella towards Jiang Yuesheng, and when he was almost at the door, the wind and rain hit his face, and his left sleeve, which was exposed outside the umbrella from time to time, was soaked.

Jiang Yusheng said suddenly: "I'll do it."

After finishing the words, he forcibly took the handle of the umbrella from Qi Sibai's hand.

Qi Sibai shook his suddenly empty palm, and the cold touch of Jiang Yusheng's fingertips seemed to still be in his fingers.

This time, before the daydreams in his head had time to emerge, Xiao J’s final sentence last night, “It’s rare to meet in life”, made his thoughts that almost went astray straightened——

Isn't it just a handshake between buddies?

Qi Sibai ignored the strangeness, and glanced sideways at Jiang Yuesheng, "How long have you been standing at the door?"

Jiang Yusheng hurriedly grabbed Qi Sibai's arm and led him to avoid a puddle, and then asked inexplicably, "Not long ago, what's wrong?"

Qi Sibai stepped on his feet and glanced at the splashed mud on the back of his trouser legs, and said casually, "Your hands are so cold."

Jiang Yusheng stopped, but Qi Sibai continued to walk straight forward, almost rushing into the rain, but was abruptly dragged by Jiang Yusheng, and slammed on the brakes, splashing a large amount of mud, knocking Jiang Yusheng to the ground. His trouser legs were also stained.

Qi Sibai looked at Jiang Yusheng who was one step behind for some reason, then glanced at his soiled trouser legs, and smiled, "Huh?"

Jiang Yusheng looked at Qi Sibai inquiringly, subconsciously tilting the umbrella over his head.

It wasn't until Qi Sibai reminded him that his shoulders were wet, and then he was dragged to his side by Qi Sibai, and the rain-soaked shoulders pressed against each other, that Jiang Yuesheng whispered, "...it's okay."
