camouflage

Shu Xia and Ji Xi's board inches were scrutinized and whistled by the students in the class, and everyone praised them.

There was a wave of board inches in the class, even Shen Shi was no exception, he had a hairstyle uglier than Meng Ke, and Meng Ke's self-confidence returned.

Ji Xi's birthday is on Monday, and on Sunday night, Qi Xin and the others will bring people to have fun after the evening self-study.

The first venue, the bar.

It's the same as last time.

Qi Xin felt as if he was beating chicken blood, and swayed to the music as soon as he entered, Ji Xi pulled Shu Xia together, with experience, Shu Xia didn't have any restraint, and looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ji Xi stopped and pulled him out.

"No, I just think it's pretty good, a coming-of-age ceremony." Shu Xia sat at the bar and ordered two cocktails, "I'm looking forward to being an adult too."

"Yo, in a hurry?" Ji Xi teased, and it seemed that his mind was full of thoughts that could not be judged.

The bartender handed over the wine, and Shu Xia lifted it with a sigh of relief.

"Hey, why? Why are you in such a hurry?" Ji Xi snatched his wine glass and saw that it was empty, "What's going on?"

"Courage." Shu Xia blushed.

"Bold?" Ji Xi took a sip of his wine and looked at him suspiciously, "What do you mean? What more courage do you need?"

"It's nothing, aren't you going to dance?" Shu Xia glanced at the stage, Qi Xin and the others were in high spirits, waving their hands to the rhythm of the music.

"Together?" Ji Xi put down the wine glass, took his hand and squeezed into the crowd.

"Brother Xi, get up!" Qi Xin bluffed and ran over to pull him, his face full of excitement.

"Okay, I'll let you see your brother Xi and I dance in ecstasy." Ji Xi raised the corners of his mouth, loosened the hem of his clothes, and blended into the crowd, not forgetting to pull Shu Xia up.

The rhythm of the music is very strong, the colorful lights, and the crowd swinging wildly, they wave their arms to the rhythm.

Ji Xi's birthdays used to be disco dances, a group of people he knew or didn't know crazily eating, drinking and having fun together, now it seems that he has returned to his previous life, familiar and strange.

He subconsciously looked for Shu Xia's figure.

Seeing him right in front of his eyes, he was slightly relieved, Shu Xia's dancing posture had changed a lot, not as stiff as the first time, but he was quite relaxed, he thought to himself what Shu Xia meant by being bold.

"Brother Xi, do you still remember your birthday last year? We went to the ghost building together, will we go this time?" Qi Xin asked with a smile.

"I don't want it, it's too scary!" Liu Yang immediately refused.

Last year's senior banquet's birthday, they had the courage to go to a legendary haunted house, and were scared to death by their own people.

"Ghost building?" Shu Xia stopped in doubt, the music was too loud, he couldn't hear clearly, "Is there a ghost building in school?"

"No, it's the one from No. [-] Middle School." Qi Xin came to his senses and shouted loudly, "Hey, Xueba, didn't you just transfer from No. [-] Middle School? Why don't you know about the ghost building in No. [-] Middle School?"

Shu Xia wondered, is there a ghost building in No. [-] Middle School?

He's been here for almost a year, why hasn't he heard of ghost buildings?

"Is there a ghost building in No. [-] Middle School? Where?" He asked shamelessly.

"The old library, isn't it very famous?" Qi Xin teased, with a malicious smile, "It is said that there are always footsteps in there, and many people have heard it."

"No way?" Shu Xia frowned, thinking for a while, he often goes to the old library, why didn't he hear footsteps?

"I remember that although the old library is old, the equipment and books inside are quite new, and there are many people, and I haven't heard any footsteps. What time did you go there?" He asked.

"Two o'clock in the middle of the night." Seeing that he didn't understand anything, Qi Xin pretended to be mysterious, "Xueba, you must have never felt the school at two o'clock in the middle of the night, right? Let me tell you, when the school is in the middle of the night..."

"Stop talking!" Liu Yang shivered with aversion to the cold, and stayed away from them.

Qi Xin complained about him: "Coward!"

"If you want to chat, go down and talk, it's too noisy here!" Meng Ke shouted, the sound of music and the sound of people getting excited swallowed their volume, and they couldn't hear what they were saying unless they got close.

"Okay, I want to tell a ghost story!" Qi Xin looked excited, and pulled Liu Yang, who was trembling with rejection all over his face, down. Seeing his cowardly behavior, he couldn't help admonishing him, "Are you scared? Are you a man? "

"I don't want it! Meng Ke save me!" Liu Yang cried and couldn't shake off Qi Xin's hand.

Shu Xia pulled Ji Xi's sleeves, pointed at the backs of Qi Xin and the others leaving, "I'll go and listen too."

Ji Xi raised his eyebrows, seeing the curiosity on his face, he stopped with a chuckle and led him out of the crowd towards the bar.

In the past, Qi Xin was already talking about it, and Liu Yang covered his ears and looked at death, "Suddenly... a drop of water or blood dripped on the back of his neck, it was icy cold, and a little bit of wind blew by. You smell a..."

"boring!"

Ji Xi interrupted Qi Xin's ghost story, and Liu Yang was startled by his voice, "Damn it, what's next?"

"Aren't you scared just now?" Qi Xin patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Is it not enough to hear it?"

"No, I just want to know if it's water or blood." Liu Yang said sullenly.

Shu Xia really didn't realize what was there to be afraid of?He turned his head to look at Ji Xi: "So did you find anything? There are really footsteps in the old library of No. [-] Middle School?"

Ji Xi smiled mysteriously, "Would you like to take a look?"

"No." He shook his head.

"Why?" Ji Xi asked.

He said angrily, "Today is your birthday, coming-of-age ceremony, what the hell are you going to see?"

"Actually, it's not a ghost, it's a pendulum."

Ji Xi took a sip of his wine with a smile, he was too bored to believe that Qi Xin's nonsense got mixed up.

"Damn! Brother Xi, how do you know?" Qi Xin asked in surprise.

"I went there again later!" Ji Xi casually wiped off the alcohol from the corner of his mouth.

"Damn! How courageous!"

"I was scared to death the first time I went there!"

"For a long time, I'm scaring myself!"

"What's wrong with Yizhong? Installing a pendulum in the library sounds like footsteps. Aren't they afraid of themselves in the middle of the night?"

Shu Xia was confused, but the pendulum in the old library was real. He explained: "The pendulum is for scaring the mice."

"what?"

How many people are stunned!

He continued: "The old library has a long history and is made of wood. Rats often entered it, so we made a pendulum to scare them."

"I go!"

"Damn it, for a long time... did I scare myself?" Liu Yang couldn't explain it. At first, he was so frightened that he almost fucked up, and he had several nightmares. In the end, he was scaring the mice?

"Then why didn't your school explain it clearly? There was also a rumor about a haunted building?" Meng Ke asked.

"Everyone in the school should know it, so why explain it?" Shu Xia said.

"...For a long time to scare us other schools?" Qi Xin looked constipated.

Every school has some strange legends, and everyone seems to tacitly maintain a sense of mystery.

"Isn't there a rumor in No. [-] Middle School?" Shu Xia said, "I heard that there is a dormitory window facing a tomb, and at night..."

He hesitated.

Several people were made curious by him, why didn't they know there was this ghost story in No. [-] Middle School?

Qi Xin looked curious, and asked impatiently: "Just what? Is there a will-o'-the-wisp? Or..."

"I heard that the people living in that dormitory will be inexplicably awakened by a mysterious force every night, and then they will see a shadow standing at the window, shouting at them..."

Several people swallowed nervously, and the loud music was automatically blocked by them.

Seeing his serious face, Ji Xi couldn't help but chuckled, his expression was definitely telling nonsense and making up stories.

"Damn, Brother Xi, you scared me!" Qi Xin covered his chest and patted hard, "It's exciting, what are you laughing at?"

"Xueba, what are you calling?" Meng Ke asked curiously.

Shu Xia's face was full of seriousness: "Shout to them, why are you sleeping? Wake up!"

"what?"

Several people were stunned, their faces covered with black lines!

Qi Xin said slowly, "Damn... no, are you telling a joke? Or is it true?"

"Of course it's true," Shu Xia took a sip of wine, and continued slowly, "Then...they found that they couldn't control themselves, and followed the figures out, one by one, across the quiet playground, over the fence... "

He drank another sip of wine, and several people were hung up.

"And then?" Qi Xin asked.

Ji Xi tried hard to hold back a smile.

"Then they went to the Internet cafe to play games all night." Shu Xia leaned against the bar and said lightly, "Okay, it's over."

WTF?

It's a ghost story?

Not a bad joke?

"Damn, Xueba, are you telling a bad joke?" Qi Xin looked confused.

"Pfft...hahaha," Ji Xi couldn't control his laughter, and leaned on Shu Xia's shoulder, laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten up, "You... your skill of fooling has grown again."

He gave a thumbs up, "Great, escaped from school and went to the Internet cafe to live the atmosphere of being told ghost stories by you."

Several people:"……"

"No, is it true?" Liu Yang asked.

"What is that figure? And that mysterious force?" Qi Xin asked.

Ji Xi smiled and explained for them, "The figure is naturally an accomplice, the mysterious power, isn't it the power that makes you not want to go to class anytime, anywhere!"

Several people:"……"

Depend on!

A incident of skipping school and surfing the Internet was actually told as a ghost story!

The key is that they still listened with gusto, with curious expressions on their faces, simply... shameful and mentally handicapped!

Qi Xin praised him endlessly, Xueba is awesome.

Several people couldn't accept this fact, they were silent for a while, Shu Xia drank silently, while Ji Xi laughed from ear to ear.

"Damn, Xueba, why don't you tell me one more thing?" Qi Xin was very upset.

"No, I'm not a storyteller." He said with a smile, "Besides, can you still listen?"

Several people shook their heads unanimously, Xueba's skills are profound, if they talk about another one, they might be tricked again without knowing it, and they still ask curiously what's next?

"Xiao Erlang, carrying a schoolbag to school..." The strange atmosphere was broken by the ringing of the phone, and Qi Xin took out the phone embarrassedly, "That...my nephew likes it, not me."

Several people rolled their eyes.

"Hey?"

"Okay, I'll pick you up."

He hung up the phone and looked at Ji Xi, "Brother Xi, Xing Yi and Mu Yao are here, I'll go pick them up."

Ji Xi nodded, took a sip of wine, saw that Shu Xia's glass was empty again, and asked suspiciously, "Why did you drink so much today?"

"Ah?" Shu Xia licked her lips, scraping away the spicy taste in her mouth, "I just drank two glasses, not much."

Ji Xi raised his eyebrows, this person definitely had something to hide from him, but he looked at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock, and it would be his birthday soon, with Shu Xia's appearance... there must be some surprises waiting for him.

"Where's Qi Lei?" Meng Ke asked.

"He will go directly to KTV later." Liu Yang said.

Several people were drinking, and the people in the stands were twisting hotly, their bodies involuntarily following the rhythm.

Shusha pulled Ji Xi's sleeve, "Going to the bathroom?"

"Go." Putting down the wine glass, he followed Shu Xia's footsteps.

He wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in Shu Xia's gourd?

The toilet in the bar was crowded and narrow, there were only three of them, and there were four or five people in it. Shu Xia dragged him into the fire stairwell next to him, and hid in the corner with a potted plant half the height of a person.

"What are you doing?" Ji Xi asked funny.

"I want to be the first to say blessings to you." Shu Xia pursed her lips and smiled, took out her phone and looked at the time, it was 23:58, and Ji Xi's birthday was 2 minutes away.

Ji Xi leaned on his shoulder and smiled lowly, "Brother Xia, why are you so... a little girl?"

"Speak well!" Shu Xia squeezed his hand in dissatisfaction, and leaned against the wall relaxedly, her eyes watching the time for a moment, "This is the first time I have lived for you, so naturally I must pay attention to it."

23: 59.

Ji Xi chuckled twice, didn't speak any more, and waited quietly with him. It was obviously a very noisy environment, but now he could hear the other party's breathing quietly.

Shu Xia pushed him, it was embarrassing to be seen by others.

Ji Xi took a step away, looked at Shu Xia looking at the time seriously, waiting for the first one to bless him, a warm current flowed in his heart.

With a smile on his lips, he looked at him quietly.

00:00

Time is up!

Shu Xia immediately raised her head, "Brother Xi..."

The moment he raised his head, Ji Xi leaned closer and kissed the corner of his mouth, blocking his words in his throat, and the time passed by second by second.

He pushed it away vigorously, but before he could speak, Ji Xi's cell phone rang one after another.

Ji Xi took it out and looked at it. It was Tang Jing, who smiled and raised the phone in his hand, "Brother Xia, what to say, I will leave it to you first."

"You've lost all my words." Shu Xia muttered a few words, the phone kept ringing, he couldn't form words at all, so he could only smile and wish him: "Happy birthday, Brother Xi!"

Ji Xi waited for a few seconds, seeing that he didn't intend to continue, "It's gone?"

"Quickly answer the phone, I'm done." Shu Xia pointed to the phone that was still ringing.

Ji Xi hung up directly and switched to silent mode.

"Okay, there's a lot of time now, let's talk, I'll listen."

Shu Xia looked surprised, then scratched her hair in distress, and was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Brother Xi, let's do it today!"

Ji Xi was stunned for a few seconds, looked at him with surprise on his face, and saw that his face was serious and his eyes were firm, "You... don't I understand what that means?"

"It's you who understand that meaning. I gave you myself as a gift, do you want it?" Shu Xia tried her best to keep calm and fluent, her heart beating non-stop.

"Tonight?" Ji Xi asked.

Seeing that he was trying to put on a calm face, but in fact he was tense, and his clothes were wrinkled with his fingers, he chuckled twice, leaning on his shoulder, "But, you're not familiar with it yet!"

"You don't want it?" Shu Xia's eyes widened, with stubbornness and accusation in her eyes.

"I want it, but..." He sighed with a low smile, "Okay, give it to me, it won't be worth it if you don't dismantle it."

While Shu Xia breathed a sigh of relief, he was also nervous about other things. He was quite nervous that it was going to be demolished.

The two fell silent.

"That... you should call Tang Jing back first." Shu Xia broke the silence.

Ji Xi took out his mobile phone and muttered, "Where am I in the mood to make a call now?" Seeing that Tang Jing's call was still on the mobile phone, he swiped to pick it up.

"Girl, do you want to bully Mama?" He teased.

"I don't care about it today, I just want to say happy birthday to you, okay, hang up, don't disturb the world of the two of you, goodbye!"

Before he could say anything, the phone was hung up.

fuck!

He looked at his phone and then at Shu Xia who didn't know where Hun'er had lost it.

"What? Regret it?" He asked with a smile.

Shu Xia came back to her senses, her eyes dodged, "No, let's go back first." After leaving the words, she left in a hurry.

Ji Xi followed behind him with a grin, obviously nervous but pretending to be calm.

His mind is full of thoughts of getting Shu Xia done, how to dismantle it?

Have to prepare something?

For the first time, it seemed that a foreign object was needed.

With his mind full of unhealthy thoughts, Ji Xi is no longer in the mood to dance, and just wants to go back to unwrap the presents, do he have to wrap them?

Movies he had seen before popped up in his mind, and he couldn't help but waver.

Shu Xia's footsteps were fast, flustered and nervous, she used her hands and feet at one point, and almost bumped into her before she regained her senses, suppressed the tension in her heart, and went to the bar.

He needs another glass of wine to embolden him!

Xing Yi and Mu Yao arrived. After a trip, the two of them had a good relationship, like friends, and they hated each other but never separated.

Mu Yao old-fashionedly taught her a lesson: "The bar is not a place where children should come."

Xing Yi went back: "You are not my mother, besides, you are about my age, right?"

"I'm three years older, so I can be your sister." Mu Yao took a sip of wine, proud and free.

"Tch! Our family is an only child."

Qi Xin and Meng Ke went to disco again.

Seeing Shu Xia and Ji Xi coming back, Mu Yao looked at Ji Xi with glowing eyes, and Xing Yi looked at Shu Xia with admiration.

"End early today." He dropped the words, seeing that Shu Xia was almost stiff, "Would you like another drink?"

Shu Xia nodded straight.

Mu Yao dragged Xing Yibendi away, leaving only the two of them.

"Brother Xia, how can you do this?" He couldn't help laughing and rubbed his shoulder.

"I'm not nervous, it's just that it's too hot in here." He tugged at his collar. Although there was an air conditioner inside, it was steamy when there were too many people and noisy.

Ji Xi didn't expose him, seeing that Qi Xin and the others hadn't come back for a long time, "Why don't we go out for a walk?"

"it is good."

The entrance of the bar is very lively, people come and go, holding fans, sitting, standing or walking, and there are many cars.

The street lamps were shining with colorful lights, and there was a tinge of coolness in the air. Shu Xia let go of the tension in her heart, and followed Ji Xi as she walked slowly.

"Thirsty?" Ji Xi asked.

"Not thirsty, where are we going?" KTV is a few hundred meters ahead.

Ji Xi stretched his waist, walked backwards, looked at Shu Xia with a smile on his face, "How about we go back now?"

His face was full of ridicule, and his eyes were full of smiles.

The tension in Shu Xia's heart suddenly came up again, he coughed twice, and his steps became messy.

"Brother Xi, don't look at me like that." He touched his nose, not daring to look into his eyes, casually looked to the side, the shop selling clothes, "How about I give you clothes?"

He was a bit busy during this period, Ji Xi was always inseparable, and he went to practice guitar in his free time, and he didn't prepare any meaningful gifts.

"Okay." Ji Xi walked in with his arms around his shoulders.

The quality of the clothes looks good, maybe because the lights are very bright, it looks very tall.

All men's clothing, white T-shirts, shirts, shorts, slacks.

The shopping guide has been following them. Shu Xia doesn't know how to buy clothes. His clothes are just pleasing to the eye and the price is very cheap. He has never been to this kind of store.

When Ji Xi chose clothes for him, he just went to the familiar old street, and each piece cost tens of dollars. Now that there are a variety of clothes hanging in front of his eyes, he silently calculates if he has enough money to buy them?

It is too difficult to raise discipline seats.

He has to work hard!

"Aren't you going to buy me clothes? Why don't you choose?" Ji Xi asked.

"Didn't you say that I have bad eyesight?" Shu Xia glanced at the row of T-shirts in front of her, dazzled, "You choose yourself, I don't know how to choose."

The shopping guide said at the right time: "These are our best sellers, do you want to try?"

Ji Xi looked at her with a smile: "Thank you, we can just watch by ourselves, you don't have to follow."

The shopping guide smiled awkwardly, but didn't follow them anymore.

Shu Xia took a deep breath, looked at the clothes that looked similar, at least it was Ji Xi's birthday, so choose whatever you want.

"Brother Xi, why don't you tell me what you don't like and narrow down the scope?" He picked up a white T-shirt with letters on it, which looked too childish.

"Only you choose, I like them all." Ji Xi copied his hands, but didn't help.

"Then I'll do whatever I want." He casually picked up a pure white T-shirt, "Is this one okay?"

"No, it's too ugly." He shook his head and leaned against the closet. He had no objections, but he was picky about one item.

Too naive, bright colors, bad style, too girly patterns, too monotonous without patterns...

He could pick out faults in every piece of clothing that Shu Xia took. He took a blue loose shirt and looked at him, "What about this one?"

"Too mature." He continued shaking his head.

Depend on!

"Don't make things difficult for me, I really don't know how to choose." Shu Xia frowned in distress.

Seeing that the shopping guide also looked at them with a bad face, Ji Xi finally stopped messing around and sighed deeply, "You, I'll contract your clothes in the future!"

Shu Xia couldn't deny it, is his taste so bad?Seeing Ji Xi holding two identical white T-shirts, the corners of his mouth twitched, damn it!

Still talking about him?He also asked about this set, right?

I still dislike the weird pattern on it, but now I want it again!

What a naked slap in the face!

Annoyed, he went to pay the bill, and it cost 300 yuan for two T-shirts, which is really a scam!

The cheapest one he wore was only 20 yuan, and it hurt even more thinking about it!

"Why? Do you want to go back on your word?" Ji Xi put his shoulders on his shoulders, with a smile that was not a smile, with a warning in his eyes, if you dare to go back on your word, you will bear the consequences!

"No." After paying the money, Shu Xia mourned silently.

"Tsk, iron rooster." Ji Xi went out with the bag, and Shu Xia followed him without refuting.

Except that he is a little normal in terms of eating, he is quite picky in other aspects.

"Why choose two of the same?" he asked.

"The couple's outfits are naturally the same, otherwise why would you buy them?" Ji Xi replied as a matter of course.

Shu Xia: "..." Coughed twice, "Then what, Qi Xin and the others should be in a hurry, right?"

"Well, I called a few times, but I cut it off."

"Then hurry up!"

……
