The Blaze of Xueba

boyhood (thirteen)

Zhou Yan was woken up by the alarm clock at 6:20 in the morning the next day.He got up without delay, pressed the alarm clock, got dressed, and packed his schoolbag.

His parents also got up at this time, so the bathroom in the living room was bustling, and Zhou Yan could hear the high-pitched voice of his mother's bluffing even through the door panel.

He opened the door and looked up to see Cheng Fang who had packed up and was going to work.Cheng Fang said, "Xiao Yan, I bought bread yesterday, put the milk in the refrigerator and warm it yourself." After finishing speaking, she frowned and looked at the time, and said hurriedly, "I have to go out quickly!"

Zhou Shuzhi moved relatively slowly. He heard Cheng Fang anxiously calling out when he was about to have breakfast after washing up, "Hurry up, can you, or you will catch up with the traffic jam!"

Zhou Shuzhi quickly swallowed a mouthful of bread, drank some cold water, and followed Cheng Fang. Perhaps because he walked too fast, the door was slammed with a bang.Zhou Yan has been very afraid of this sudden and rough door closing sound since he was a child. Whether it is intentional or not, he always feels a sense of oppression.

After he finished washing, he started to eat bread. He didn't want the milk to be hot after taking it out of the refrigerator, so he put it down after drinking three sips.

Go out on time at 06:30.

It's like this every day, I go to bed at eleven o'clock at night, toss and turn for an hour, and then barely close my eyes at twelve o'clock, and go out at 06:30 in the morning to go to school.Study, go home, study again, go home again.Ten years of life will always be so boring.

Zhou Yan walked out of the community where he had lived for 15 years. He looked up and saw that the sky had brightened. He felt that the road today was a bit different.

Where is the difference?

Oh, thinking about it, he heard from Li Lie yesterday that he also lived here. Zhou Yan looked at the crowds of tall buildings and wondered which house he lived in?

Will you meet me later?

He should also go to school at this point.

There was a little hope in his heart, but he denied his wild thoughts in an instant. After so long since school started, he couldn't even remember many people in the class. How could he meet Li Lie in such a large community? here.

It just happened, Zhou Yan had just given up the glimmer of hope in his heart, but he didn't expect that Li Lie would come out from some corner and give him a peerless hook, almost scaring him to death.

Zhou Yan saw Li Lie smiling with a face that was brighter than the sun. He thought that this person was his opposite. If he was ice, then Li Lie was definitely fire. Water and fire are incompatible, but today, at least At this moment his ice was a little melted by this brilliant fire.

Li Lie said, "What a coincidence, I ran into you just as I was going out."

Zhou Yan said, "What a coincidence, you must be following me."

Li Lie was stunned for a while, Zhou Yan's words were half right, it was indeed not a coincidence but premeditated, he got up early in the morning, stood at the gate of the community which was a bit cold and waited for Zhou Yan, and he couldn't be the first to see him, After he walked out for a while, he pretended to meet him by chance.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yan, who is usually silent, has seen through his thoughts. He said, "Stalking? Is your brother such a perverted person? Ah~ Zhou Yan, you look innocent. I didn't expect you to be a villain The heart measures the belly of a gentleman."

"You're right, I'm a villain." Zhou Yan's face was still calm when he said this, he smiled, looked at Li Lie, and said meaningfully, "Gentleman, can you hold your hand now?" Take it off my shoulder?"

Li Lie really wanted to put his hand on Zhou Yan's forehead and ask, "Did you take the wrong medicine today?!" He is obviously a shy and handsome young man, why did he speak so much like a dark-bellied young master just now? Is my grandpa going transgender...

While Li Lie was in a daze, Zhou Yan raised his hand to check the time again, and said, "Now time is running out, let's go to school quickly."

He said "we."

Because Zhou Yan doesn't talk much, Li Lie is very concerned about his words, just like a hungry person is sensitive to food. He was overjoyed when he heard "we", and he didn't care if Zhou Yan changed his gender just now. He followed him in two steps in three steps, and continued to hook shoulders with Zhou Yan persistently.

When the two teenagers arrived in the classroom, the bell was just about to ring, and the Chinese class representative was writing today's morning reading tasks on the blackboard.Zhou Yan has always been self-assessed in learning, learning by himself, and doing by himself. He took out his Chinese textbooks in a planned way and began to read the chapters to memorize.

Li Lie also has a way of studying, unlike Zhou Yan who is well-planned and organized, he is more like a libertine, who cares where he goes.He opened the Chinese textbook and turned to a page at random. If he felt that he needed to review it, he would memorize it. If there was no need to review it, he would not even read it.

So although Li Lie's knowledge is not as extensive as Zhou Yan's—Zhou Yan carefully harvested and absorbed everything in the textbook like a harvester, whether it was the test site or not, he took everything as ordered—but the relationship between the two The results are comparable.

Zhou Yan believes that knowledge is knowledge, and if you don't learn it, you don't learn it.

Li Lie believes that knowledge is for exams, and if he doesn't take exams, he is not a person who can sit for more than ten hours. It would kill him to ask him to seriously and patiently learn knowledge that does not take exams.

10 minutes before self-study in the morning, Li Lie threw away his Chinese textbook and fell asleep on the table. Behind him, Fatty Wu and Yang Wei were restless, thinking about what to have for breakfast later. Zhou Yan also stopped reading and began to write silently.

As soon as the bell rang for the end of get out of class, everyone in the class rushed out with their jobs. Wu Pang and Yang Wei took the advantage of monopolizing the back door and took the lead.

After Zhou Yanmo finished writing and saw that Li Lie was still sleeping, he thought for a while and pushed his body, and asked, "Aren't you going to have breakfast?"

Li Lie woke up yawning and rubbing his eyes, and asked, "Is get out of class over?"

Zhou Yan nodded.Li Lie looked around and shouted in surprise, "Wow! They're all gone. These grandchildren usually stick to me when they have something to do, and they all run away when it's meal time. They don't know how to bring me something to eat!"

Li Lie turned around and wanted to find something to eat from Fatty Wu's table, but he didn't expect that the fat man's table was extremely clean today, and there was no food for Mao.

Although Zhou Yan's eyes were not moving, he was moving. He stood up and said to Li Lie in an unprecedented firm tone, "Get out of the way, I'm going to buy breakfast now."

Although Li Lie was sitting outside, he would not block his way if there was nothing to do, and usually Zhou Yan would go there if he wanted to, and he would definitely not be as solemn as today.

This kid really took the wrong medicine today.Li Lie thought.

It made him feel that Zhou Yan's taking the wrong medicine was still to come.After Zhou Yan left, Li Lie continued to sleep on the table. He was awakened by a gust of wind when Zhou Yan came back. When he opened his eyes, he saw an extra piece of bread and a glass of milk on his table.

Zhou Yan said, "The milk is still hot, eat it while it's hot."

Li Lie woke up with a jolt. He picked up the bread and started to eat it. He felt very comfortable drinking the hot milk.While eating, he looked at Zhou Yan with a smile, like a bee staring at a flower. Zhou Yan was very uncomfortable after staring at a flower for a long time. Zhou Yan said angrily, "Go away, don't look at me!"

Li Lie just finished eating the bread and drinking the milk. He was in a good mood, clapped his hands, and said seriously, "Student Zhou Yan, don't be so sentimental all the time, I'm obviously looking at the birds on the trees outside."

bird?Zhou Yan didn't believe Li Lie's nonsense, he lowered his head and continued to work on the questions.Unexpectedly, three little birds flew to the window, Li Lie excitedly pushed Zhou Yan, "Look, it's little birds!"

Three little heather-colored birds, you peck me and you push me, you are very cute.Zhou Yan was afraid of people since he was a child, so he especially liked cute animals, but her mother was completely opposite to him. She hated animals very much and would scream when she saw cats and dogs, so although he liked small animals very much, she had never raised them. .

Zhou Yan stared at the three heathen-gray birds, feeling itchy in his heart, and really wanted to touch them. After a while, the birds flew away, and Zhou Yan realized that Li Lie's body was pressing against him, with only one face on his face. Within a centimeter away, he blushed immediately, and pushed Li Lie to his seat, before he could blurt out his reprimand, Li Lie said first, "Thank you for bringing me breakfast."

Zhou Yan regained his composure, without blushing or heartbeat, and said calmly, "It's just a matter of convenience, no thanks."

Li Lie hugged Zhou Yan's shoulders with a smile, "I'm afraid it's not easy, but intentional."

Zhou Yan pushed away Li Lie's salty pig's hand and said, "I didn't have enough for breakfast today, so I brought it for you." After a short pause, he looked into Li Lie's eyes with breathless concentration and said, "You don't feed me every day? Shall I get the water, I'll buy you a breakfast once in a while as a favor."

Li Lie felt a warm current flow through his body. He had warned himself many times before that what he did for him was his wishful thinking and he didn't ask for anything in return, but it's so difficult to really do it without asking for an answer. He will be disappointed and sad.

Although he felt that his obsession with the boy in front of him was just a dream in his youth, but even if he got even a little repayment, he felt that this life was not in vain. He was like being in the dark all year round. The man in the cave, and Zhou Yan was the ray of sunshine that made his whole body warm.

He tried his best to suppress his feelings, ran out of the classroom, and ran down the stairs. On the way, he met Wu Pang and Yang Wei, a pair of brothers who were in a mess. Wu Pang shouted, "Brother Lie, where are you going?" He turned a deaf ear and continued running. When he met Zuo Yu, he didn't even have time to say hello to him. He also met a group of girls, but he turned a blind eye. He just wanted to find a place, a place that belonged to him alone.

Finally, he found a barren and lonely meadow behind the school. The grass was covered with morning dew. Standing here, he could overlook No. [-] Middle School, including the scenery outside the school. After being alone, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes and shouted into the distance:

I'm so damn happy!

Then he lowered his voice, as if talking to himself, and shouted:

Zhou Yan, Li Lie likes you, likes you very much!
