"Congratulations." Shen Yicheng approached a little closer, the smile on the corner of his mouth never disappeared.

Not knowing who he seemed to be angry with, and where the inexplicable grievance came from, Yu Zhuoyi lowered his head, curled his lips, and said in a low voice, "It's just a substitute."

"What?" Shen Yicheng didn't hear clearly, and leaned forward, his side face suddenly enlarged in front of Zhuo Yi.

"No." Yu Zhuo turned his face away, his ears were red.

"Oh."

What I didn't expect was that the other party didn't ask any more questions, only one sentence, and there was no more after that.Yu Zhuoyi felt a little uncomfortable again, as if he was used to Shen Yicheng talking on his own even when Yu Zhuoyi didn't respond, why is he so silent now? Has it changed after a while? Doesn't it take a little longer for the other party to completely forget about himself?

Yu Zhuo clenched his hand hanging by his side a little bit, and his voice became louder, mixed with a little resentment and anger, he paused every word, "I said, it's just a substitute, there's nothing to congratulate."

Shen Yicheng was stunned for a moment, tilted his head, pretending to regret, "Are you a substitute?"

When he felt that the expression on Yu Zhuoyi's face began to change obviously, he opened his mouth again, "After all," he seemed very distressed, with a serious and serious tone, "I only saw you in the audience. "

Whether I'm sitting on a chair, warming up on the sidelines, or playing a game, all I can see is you, so it doesn't matter if I'm a substitute or not.

The heat that finally dissipated seems to spread all over the body from the spine in an instant, and the palms of the hands are slightly sweaty. This time, it's not just the tips of the ears that are red, but the whole ears.But Yu Zhuoyi still stubbornly believed that the corridor on the side of the dressing room must be too long, not ventilated at all, too stuffy, and it was only because he had been exercising just now.

Until he raised his head and saw Shen Yicheng's smile extending from his eyes to the corners of his mouth, it was as warm as the winter sun and as bright as the summer sun.He was wearing his school uniform, his baggy jacket was unzipped, and the hems on both sides were swinging slightly.

Then Yu Zhuoyi sneezed loudly.

"Is it cold?" he asked nervously.

Yu Zhuo shook his head, but before he could speak, he sneezed again.

Shen Yicheng took off his school uniform jacket, and covered him with no resistance. He was about the same height as Yu Zhuoyi. After doing this, he realized that the distance between the two was too close, and the tips of their noses would touch each other. Looking down, you can see his pale pink lips that seem to be slightly chapped due to lack of water.Yu Zhuoyi didn't seem to have recovered from the sneeze, he blinked his eyes with an innocent and naive expression.

Shen Yicheng's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he backed away quickly, with one hand in his pocket, and the other pointing at Yu Zhuoyi's clothes, he said with disgust, "Put it on yourself."

"Oh."

Yu Zhuoyi slowly stuffed his hand in, the sound of the zipper pulling up seemed to be pulling every nerve of Shen Yicheng, and the zipper finally stopped when it reached his chest.

"Then what do you do?" He reacted belatedly.

"I'm not cold." Shen Yicheng replied with an irritable face.

Faint voices could be heard not far from the corridor.

Shen Yicheng's cell phone vibrated in the school pants pocket.

"Hello, um." He looked at Yu Zhuoyi.

The voice of the other party on the phone came out, and Yu Zhuo pretended not to hear it, pretending to straighten the collar of his school uniform intently.

Liu Xin has already arrived at the school gate.

"Go back and take a shower first so you don't catch a cold." Shen Yicheng explained.

"Ah."

"If there's a celebration in the evening, don't drink too much," he added.

"It's not a child." Yu Zhuo snorted, as if deliberately confronting him.

"Ok?"

"understood."

In fact, he didn't intend to have dinner with them at all.

"If you dare to get drunk, you will die." He threatened him again as before.

"Ah."

I don't know why he looks sullen.

Shen Yicheng took a step forward, rubbed his head, and said in a tone like talking to a child, "Don't be unhappy, even a substitute is the best."

Idiot, not at all because of this.

Yu Zhuo put one hand in his school uniform pocket and said nothing.

"I'm leaving."

"Ah."

After turning around and walking a few steps, Yu Zhuoyi suddenly stopped him from behind.

He said, "Come on for the exam."

Shen Yicheng turned around and smiled, "Okay."

After getting in the car, Liu Xin asked where the school uniform jacket was.

Shen Yicheng only said that he forgot to take it.

She didn't care, anyway, summer will be coming soon, there are many school uniforms at home, and she is about to graduate.

A few days before the municipal quality inspection, it rained for several days in a row, and the weather had no intention of clearing up.Shen Yicheng caught a cold, and rarely developed a fever, and his mental state was not very good. Liu Xin was worried, and took care of him almost every step of the way except to go to school.

But even so, his condition did not improve much, and he was still coughing and runny during the exam.

Fortunately, after the exam, the school had a day off.

As long as Shen Yicheng is at home, Liu Xin basically doesn't go out, and Shen Yicheng's itinerary other than school tuition must be sent by her with her consent.

Shen Yicheng slept all morning. He just drank the medicine and he felt better. When he turned on the screen of his phone, a bunch of messages on WeChat flooded out. He replied to a few important ones, and pretended not to see the others.His finger stayed on Zhuo Yi's WeChat profile picture, and he opened the chat box, but there was not a single message, and all previous messages were deleted by him.For him, the mobile phone is no longer private and only belongs to him.

Tomorrow is his birthday.

The neighborhood was very quiet in the early hours of the morning, with occasional stray cats screaming like babies crying.The rain has stopped, the road surface is very wet, and the recessed place is full of water, and if you step on it carelessly, your shoes will be useless.

Under the streetlight, the boy was wearing a red sweater and black sweatpants. He was running all the way. The shoes made a short-lived contact with the ground and made a snapping sound. The water splashed on his pants. He didn't care and just ran forward. .

Yu Zhuoyi closed his eyes, stretched out his hand to fumble for the vibrating mobile phone next to the pillow, opened a gap in his eyes, and answered the phone.

"I'm downstairs in your dormitory."

Shen Yicheng's panting voice sounded from the microphone.

Yu Zhuoyi reacted in his mind for about two seconds and suddenly woke up, turned over, and almost stepped on the air when he climbed out of the bed. Without any fear, he pulled off the coat hanging by the side and stepped on slippers and ran downstairs.

He opened the door of the dormitory lightly, even though it was dark, he could see Shen Yicheng at a glance.It's just around the corner from the dormitory building.

Shen Yicheng frowned when he saw that he was wearing thin clothes. It had just rained, and the wind was not only wet but also cold, "You'll catch a cold if you wear so little!" Then he reached out and zipped him up.

"You have a cold???" His breathing was so heavy that he didn't hear it when he was on the phone just now, but now he can feel the strong nasal sound all at once.

"Well, it's almost ready." Shen Yicheng knew from his appearance that he wanted to say something more, but he didn't have so much time now.

"I'm not cold, I'll go back soon." He answered the question he was about to ask in advance.

Then why did you come here before he said this, the things Shen Yicheng took out from his pocket also let him know why he came here in the middle of the night.

He took out a packaged snack cake and said, "It's not midnight, I haven't had time to buy cakes," he paused, and said with some embarrassment, "There are no candles." Then he took out a blackout candle from his pocket. The candles that were only lit at home are hardly used by anyone now, and I don’t know how he found them.

Yu Zhuoyi thought it was funny and wanted to laugh, but he really did.

Hearing Yu Zhuoyi's chuckle, Shen Yicheng lowered his head and asked carefully, "Do you mind?"

Smiling and laughing, for some reason, he suddenly felt that his throat was stuck, and Yu Zhuoyi blinked desperately.

"A little bit," he said.

"It doesn't matter," Shen Yicheng simply played tricks when he heard it, "I, I, I ran here in the middle of the night, and I have class tomorrow, don't be disgusted!"

After a while, Yu Zhuo hummed and nodded.

Shen Yicheng opened the packaging bag of the cake, handed it to Yu Zhuoyi, then took out the lighter and lit the candle.The candles were lit, and the dim light was enough to illuminate the faces of two people.

Holding a candle, Shen Yicheng said to him with crooked eyebrows, "Make a wish."

"You haven't sung happy birthday yet."

"How can I sing alone." He was a little embarrassed.

Yu Zhuo snorted and turned his face away.

Shen Yicheng coughed twice, sang a few lines reluctantly, his cheeks flushed a little, and then began to urge Yu Zhuoyi impatiently, "Okay, make a wish quickly."

Yu Zhuoyi closed his eyes in satisfaction.The eyelashes fluttered slightly like the wings of a butterfly, and the corners of the mouth had an invisible arc.

He was obviously just a kid who could only follow behind his butt, brother, brother, why did he grow up so big all of a sudden, Shen Yicheng looked inexplicably emotional, he suddenly remembered that one year, his grandparents even forgot his birthday, the little one Time has no concept of time, and I didn't remember it until Shen Yicheng's birthday.Yu Zhuoyi felt aggrieved looking at the fruit cakes displayed in the restaurant.

Shen Yicheng asked him, "What's wrong?"

He said, "My birthday is over, and I can't make a wish." As he spoke, tears were about to fall.

It turned out to be the case.

Shen Yicheng lay beside his ear and whispered, "It's okay, I will grant you my wish."

"Really??" Yu Zhuoyi opened his eyes wide, full of expectation, and there were still tears lingering in his eyes that hadn't flowed out just now.

Shen Yicheng nodded heavily at him.

If you want it, what does it matter if I give you a wish every year, after all, fulfilling your wish is my wish.

"Happy birthday, 17-year-old Yu Zhuoyi."

"Thank you."

"The school uniform is your birthday present." Shen Yicheng smiled slyly, showing his white teeth.

The sky was dark with no stars, but it didn't matter, he saw something brighter than stars elsewhere.

For me, your arrival is the best birthday present.Yu Zhuoyi pursed his lips vigorously, trying hard not to let his eyes get hot, and smiled too.

He had blown out birthday candles many times in his life, but none was as special as this one, so he remembered it like this.

It began to rain lightly again, and the cool wind took away the heat from his body, but fortunately, the young man's heart was burning hot.

The mood of going home is filled with joy but with apprehension.

When he saw the lights lit up in the room on the second floor, Shen Yicheng's heart sank slowly, he stopped climbing the window and walked directly to the door.

Sure enough, the living room was brightly lit.

He stood at the door, took a deep breath, and his heart sank a little every time he pressed a password.

"Where did you go at night? Do you have the idea of ​​going to school?" Liu Xin said in an emotionless voice.

The red sweater has turned dark red under the action of rain, her cheeks are still wet, and the temperature in her body is constantly rising.He lowered his head and did not speak.

"Speak, are you dumb??!" She raised her voice and questioned, those suppressed things finally began to reveal gaps, and they were about to be lifted.

"Don't you know?" Shen Yicheng said flatly.

Didn't you locate my phone?

"Shen Yicheng, are you trying to piss me off, huh?! Have I ever said not to meet again, have I ever said to stop this impossible idea immediately?! Did you take my words as a deaf ear?!"

too hot.

Shen Yicheng felt that the temperature in his brain that had just subsided this morning began to rise slowly again, and the heat flow ran around uncontrollably in his body.Then he heard himself replying in a higher voice, "What's wrong with me liking him, what's wrong with me? Did I like him murder or break the law?"

Liu Xin felt that all internal organs in her body were shifting, and it was useless to take a few deep breaths this time. She picked up the cup on the table and slammed it down to Shen Yicheng's feet.

torn apart.

He stood there, as if expected, without any fright, motionless, with a stubborn expression.

Aunt hurried out of the room.

She was startled when she saw the debris on the ground, looking at her angry wife and Shen Yicheng who was drenched by the rain, she was at a loss for a moment.

"I can't control it," Shen Yicheng pointed to the heart, as if he was really discussing it seriously, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, the words he said were like a sharp dagger precisely inserted into Liu Xin's heart, he said, "Or, change it."

Her head felt dizzy, as if the whole house was turning. Liu Xin groped backwards for the armrest of the sofa with one hand, and pressed her fist into her temple with the other hand. She shook her head, but the image was still blurry. After a few seconds, suddenly As soon as it was dark, consciousness slowly slipped away from all parts of the body, and I lost consciousness.

"Ma'am!" Auntie screamed, quickly ran to Liu Xin's side, and helped him onto the sofa.

Shen Yicheng watched her slowly fall down with dull eyes, as if the robot had been turned off, he stood stiffly in place, and silently shouted, "Mom..."

"Call 120!" Auntie shouted anxiously.

"Yes, yes, dial 120, dial 120, where is the phone, where is the phone," Shen Yicheng finally got his eyes focused, took out the phone from his pocket, his hands trembled uncontrollably, the keypad was locked several times but he couldn't open it, "Fuck !"

"Hello! Emergency center?"
