Ji Shu's final grades were poor as expected, Ji Shu was unhappy, he looked down at the test paper, thinking about how to tell Ji Yuedong about the test results this time.

Lu Xiao and Gao Hao just got the test papers, so he stuffed them into the desk and glanced at Ji Shu who was sitting by the window.

Gao Hao asked him if he wanted to sing after the exam.

Lu Xiao said casually, "Okay."

Gao Hao laughed and said, "Why, you're not with that Ji Shu now?"

Lu Xiao remained silent, stood up, picked up her backpack and walked out.

When Ji Shu heard the sound of the back door, he looked back and saw that the chairs by Lu Xiao's side were empty.

The cicadas screamed on the branches, and Ji Shu turned her head silently, clutching the red test paper in her hand.

He still cared more about Ji Yuedong's thoughts, Ji Yuedong came to pick him up, and Ji Shu walked out slowly with his bag on his back.Seeing him listless, Ji Yuedong asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji Shu shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's nothing."

Back home, Ji Shu threw his schoolbag on the sofa, and Ji Yuedong poured him a glass of juice, which he drank in one gulp, with tiny beads of sweat on the tip of his nose.

He handed the empty cup to Ji Yuedong, Ji Yuedong turned around, and Ji Shu grabbed the corner of his clothes.

He was like a little pet who did something wrong and was afraid of being blamed by his master. First, he felt wronged and made it very pitiful. He said to Ji Yuedong, "I didn't pass the exam again."

Ji Yuedong was taken aback, and Ji Shu ran to the sofa and handed the test paper in the schoolbag to Ji Yuedong.

Only with the experience of the last parents' meeting, Ji Yuedong has already looked away, and he doesn't care much about Ji Shu's grades.

He glanced at the score and threw the test paper aside, put his arm around Ji Shu's shoulder, changed the subject directly, and asked him, "Where do you want to go during the summer vacation?"

Ji Shu's gaze followed Ji Yuedong's movements, and the test paper fell on the ground. The light pieces of paper did not pose any threat to him.He breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back, and rested his head in Ji Yuedong's arms.

Ji Shu raised his head to look at Ji Yuedong's jaw, pointed at the stubble that had just emerged, slid down the smooth arc of his jaw, and rubbed lightly on his Adam's apple, he said: "I can't figure it out, come here Decide."

Ji Yuedong circled Ji Shu's flailing hands, Ji Yuedong lowered his head, and he heard Ji Shu say, "As long as I'm with you, I'm very happy."

Their trip to Kenya is scheduled for July, when the drought in the south will allow herbivores to cross the Mara River into the Masai Mara.It's hunting season, and predators are feasting on wildebeest antelope that have entered their territory.If you are lucky, you may still see this cruel animal migration.

In order to have enough time to travel in July, Ji Yuedong started working day and night.Because of Ji Shu, knowing that there is a child waiting for him at home, Ji Yuedong seldom works overtime like this.

Until late at night, the people in the company were almost gone, Ji Yuedong poured himself a cup of black coffee, and the bitter taste permeated the tip of his tongue.He took off his goggles, pinched the bridge of his nose, and let out a long breath.

He didn't get home until four o'clock, parked the car, and came up from the garage.There seemed to be dewdrops in the air, and the tip of his nose was slightly cool. He raised his head and looked at the sky. It was foggy and daylight had come out.

Pushing open the door and going in, as he expected, Ji Shu didn't go back to sleep in the room, but lay on the sofa in the living room.

In the past two days, Ji Shu has been like this. Ji Yuedong said many times, don't wait for him to go home, but the child just doesn't listen.

Sitting next to the sofa, Ji Yuedong picked up the blanket that had slipped on the wooden floor and covered Ji Shu. He let go of the blanket, but didn't take it back. gently stroked.

The little lamb slept soundly, with two puddles of powder floating on its palm-sized face.

It seems that Ji Yuedong's exhaustion can be released at this moment. He didn't know the warmth of home before, but now Ji Shu gave him a home.

He is like a blind man who has gone through a rough and lonely road. After seeing the light for a while, he never wants to go back to the chaotic darkness.He didn't want to leave, no matter whether Ji Shu was an adult or not, he didn't want to leave.

The morning light fell in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, Ji Yuedong curled up beside the sofa and fell asleep, lying beside Ji Shu like a big dog.

When Ji Shu woke up, he felt that his arm was numb. He frowned and opened his eyes, and saw Ji Yuedong's head was pressed on his arm, and his hair was fluffy.Ji Shu couldn't hold it back, and slowly leaned over, raised the other hand to cover Ji Yuedong's head, pressed it down, imitating Ji Yuedong's usual movements, and kneaded several times.

As if he was petting Dordo, or another big dog, Ji Shu bit his lower lip and held back a smile, breaking ground on Tai Sui's head.

"Are you having fun?"

The motionless man suddenly made a sound, Ji Shu's wrist was grabbed, Ji Shu was startled, and was about to run away.Ji Yuedong opened his eyes, looked at him with a smile, stood up and turned over and pressed Ji Shu into his arms, tickling him.

Ji Shu was the most ticklish, and struggled desperately. In the end, he couldn't breathe from laughing, and Ji Yuedong let him go.Ji Shu was panting on Ji Yuedong's stomach, his body trembling slightly, and Ji Yuedong's hand stroked his back to give him a smooth breath.

Ji Shu also scratched Ji Yuedong's hard abdominal muscles with his hands, but the effect was minimal. Ji Yuedong put his hands on his sides, watching Ji Shu play tricks, he laughed and said, "I'm not ticklish."

Ji Shu saw that he really didn't move a muscle, even his expression didn't change for a moment, a little discouraged and unwilling.

He suddenly lifted the hem of Ji Yuedong's shirt, unfastened a few buttons, lowered his head, and bit Ji Yuedong's waist, leaving a light tooth mark on his light wheat-colored skin.Ji Shu looked at Ji Yuedong's blank look, with a happy smile on his face, his hands were clasped on both sides of Ji Yuedong's waist, he buried his head, and wanted to bite again.

Ji Yuedong immediately pulled him away, as if he was carrying the much fatter Angora rabbit, and gently left Ji Shu aside.Just after throwing him over, Ji Shu hugged Ji Yuedong's neck with his arms, lay on his back, and bit Ji Yuedong's neck with his mouth open.

Ji Yuedong shuddered, and he heard Ji Shu laughing: "So you are afraid that I will bite you."

Ji Yuedong grabbed his arm, dragged him into his arms, held the pussy kitten in his arms, and rubbed the cat's belly.He pretended to open his mouth to bite, and Ji Shu was so frightened that he begged for mercy.Ji Yuedong pinched his chin, and jokingly asked him, "Do you still dare?"

Ji Shu pinched Ji Yuedong's index finger, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and said aggrievedly, "Don't dare."

Ji Yuedong went to the company in the afternoon. After getting up, he took a shower first, changed his clothes and went downstairs. Ji Shu came out of the kitchen and asked him, "Do you want porridge? I cooked porridge."

Ji Yuedong was taken aback, "Did you cook it?"

"I cooked it with a rice cooker yesterday. I thought you might come home late and you might be hungry, but you can't eat greasy food late at night, so I cooked porridge." Ji Shu scratched his nose, "It's all my fault I was so sleepy, I fell asleep before you."

"What nonsense, I can't eat in the middle of the night, so it's just right to eat now."

Ji Yuedong walked into the kitchen, lifted the lid of the rice cooker, hot mist rushed towards his face, Ji Shu handed over the spoon.The rice porridge boiled overnight in the rice cooker was very thick, Ji Yuedong scooped up two bowls and took it out.

Sitting face to face, Ji Shu himself didn't taste it first, so Ji Yuedong must eat it first.He bit the spoon and looked at Ji Yuedong expectantly. Ji Yuedong took a sip, covered his mouth with a smile and said, "It's so hot."

Ji Shu asked him, "Is it delicious?"

The rice porridge has no taste, and after sipping a sip of it, Ji Yuedong nodded and said, "It's very delicious."

Halfway through the porridge, Ji Yuedong's cell phone rang.Ji Shu looked at him, and when Ji Yuedong answered the phone, he seemed to have heard something disturbing. His brows, which were originally smooth and gentle, slowly frowned, and he pinched the tissue that he had just wiped his mouth with his fingers, rubbed it unconsciously, and rolled it into a white ball of paper.

Ji Shu stared at the movements of his hands, Ji Yuedong turned his gaze to Ji Shu, pointed his fingers outward, then pulled away the chair, stood up, and walked to the living room.

Sitting at the dining table, Ji Shu watched the porridge getting colder. He heard Ji Yuedong's low and not-so-friendly voice talking with someone in the living room, and slowly stretched out his hand to pinch the ball of paper.

He held it in the palm of his hand and waited until his palm was wet before putting it in his pocket.

He doesn't know what's wrong with him?

Ji Yuedong came back after making the phone call, finished the remaining half bowl of porridge and left in a hurry.

When Ji Yuedong left, Ji Shu leaned on the sofa and rubbed away the tissue that Ji Yuedong had used.He looked at it for a long time, lowered his head and sniffed gently, and rubbed the tip of his nose repeatedly. He closed his eyes, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses.

With the end of the rainy season, summer came suddenly, and the wild roses outside the window were all over the wall.

Ji Shu dozed off on the sofa, the stack of papers was pressed heavily in the small pocket in front of his chest, turned over, the small paper balls fell out, Ji Shu stuffed them back again.

He slept for most of the afternoon, and the phone kept vibrating beside him. He opened his eyelids and touched it.

It was Lu Xiao who called, and after several calls, Ji Shu looked intently, and the phone rang again.He quickly connected, coughed softly and said in a hoarse voice, "Lu Xiao?"

A young man's clear voice came, containing a little grievance and frustration, he said to Ji Shu: "Ji Shu, can we still be good friends?"

Since the confession that day, after Ji Shu rejected him, they didn't speak a word again until the summer vacation.

Lu Xiao endured it for a long time. He was angry and didn't want to go to Ji Shu, but he hoped that Ji Shu would come to him.However, after such a long time, Ji Shu didn't even have a phone call. He and Ji Shu drifted away, and the uneasiness in his heart grew day by day.

Picking up and putting down the phone, the screen was on and off, he pondered over and over again, hesitated, and finally he couldn't bear to part with Ji Shu, put aside the depression in his heart about being rejected, put face aside, and dialed Ji Shu's number.

He made several calls, but Ji Shu didn't answer, and he became more and more afraid. He didn't let out a long breath until the call got through.

He heard Ji Shu say, "I thought...you're not going to talk to me anymore?"

Lu Xiao paused, almost biting his own tongue, he hurriedly said, "It's nothing."

Lu Xiao took a deep breath. The urgency and tension in his heart were unprecedented. He repeated what he said just now, and said softly: "Then...are we still friends?"

Ji Shu said, "Yes, we are still friends."

With the mobile phone pressed against his ear, Ji Shu's voice was very close, making him feel that Ji Shu was beside him.

Their reconciliation was very simple, as if they had never had such a bitter confession, Lu Xiao put the youthfulness and passion in her heart into a safe collection, and as usual, shared the fun she encountered with Ji Shu.

But it was also different. In that afternoon, the cicadas were singing harshly, the fan was blowing on the face, and the sweat on the forehead gradually became colder.

Lu Xiao's back sank into the chair, and his spine seemed to be pulled away. He heard Ji Shu say, "I fell in love with someone who is much older than me. Lu Xiao, what should I do to make him like me too ?”

They treat love in the same way, just like a war in the midst of chaos, the iron cavalry of love breaks through the heart, leaving only the haunting thoughts.The innocence of the world, hesitating and uneasy, when looking at that person, he tried his best to restrain his liking, but he couldn't help but want to get closer and want more.

Ji Shu felt that he was starting to deteriorate, his possessiveness increased sharply, and he wanted more. These terminally ill obsessions made him at a loss.

"Lu Xiao? Lu Xiao? Are you...still listening?"

"Yes, yes." Lu Xiao paused, took a breath, woke up from the silence, and asked, "Who do you like?"

The nail of his index finger dug into the belly of his thumb, and he took out the stack of paper balls in his breast pocket, which Ji Yuedong had used.He pursed his lips, suppressed the name on his lips, and said in a low voice: "This can't be said."

Lu Xiao smiled dryly, shaking his head in his own room, covered his burning eyes with his hands, and buried his face in his knees.He suppressed the soreness in his throat, took a deep breath, and pretended to be indifferent: "You can observe for a while first, and ask him what he likes, what type he likes, don't be like me..." The voice stopped , he sneered to cover up the past.

Ji Shu listened ignorantly, and then asked him, "Is that all?"

Lu Xiao said sullenly: "That's all, I have no experience."

Ji Shu said "Oh", he said thank you, Lu Xiao told him not to be so polite, and asked him, "What were you doing just now?"

Ji Shu covered his mouth with his hands and hiccupped. He said, "I was sleeping just now."

Ji Shu chatted with him for a few words, but Lu Xiao couldn't get excited, and didn't want to reveal her emotions, so she hung up the phone hastily.

During the trip in July and half a month in June, Ji Yuedong was busy. At first he was able to go home, but later he slept directly in the office.Ji Shu hasn't seen him for several days, and his heart is full of thoughts.

He is a beginner in love. He is like a toddler babbling, there are too many things he doesn't understand.

The only one who can ask for help is Lu Xiao, a half-hearted boy, and the two teenagers, buried in the library, trying to find the answer from books about love.

Lu Xiao endured the aggrieved heart, and copied those love skills, and kept them for Ji Shu's reference.

Ji Shu supported his chin and turned the pages of the book.The air conditioner in the library was rustling, and the cold air was blowing on his face, and the sweat on his forehead evaporated quietly. Lu Xiao couldn't help it suddenly, and closed the heavy book cover.He took Ji Shu's hand and said in a low voice, "How about the overlord bow hard?"

After he came up with this bad idea, he immediately regretted it and shook his head again and again, "Forget it, forget it, just take it as my nonsense."

Ji Shu tilted his head to look at him. Lu Xiao didn't know if he had gotten into his head. He lowered his head, touched his hot face, then couldn't help raising his head, looked at Ji Shu carefully, and whispered, "I'll just talk about it." , don’t really go.”

Ji Shu pondered over his words, rubbed his fingers on the paper full of words, and drew circles one after another.

When he realized that his body was different from others, he indeed passed through a period of hesitation and confusion.

But if the other party is Ji Yuedong, he seems to have nothing to fear.

The man once said to him that imperfect imperfection is perfection.

Ji Shu's fearlessness is all given by Ji Yuedong. He is still living in the Garden of Eden. As long as Ji Yuedong is still there, he can continue to be happy.

In the twilight of summer, the clouds are colored.Lu Xiao was riding a bicycle, and Ji Shu was sitting behind him. The wheels went down the long bridge and slid for a certain distance at a very fast speed.

Lu Xiao yelled, and Ji Shu was stunned for a while, and followed his example and shouted loudly.After taking a bite of the wind, he laughed, and the boredom in his heart seemed to dissipate.

Facing the sunset, Lu Xiao sent him home, and the bicycle stopped in front of Ji Shu's house.He stepped on the ground with one foot, and Ji Shu jumped out from behind the car, shaking twice, and Lu Xiao grabbed his hand to stabilize him.Ji Shu said thank you, Lu Xiao stared at his reddish face, and opened his mouth.

At this moment, the door in the courtyard opened, and Ji Yuedong came out from inside. His gaze passed over Lu Xiao, stopped on Ji Shu, and beckoned, "Xiao Shu..."

Lu Xiao recognized Ji Yuedong, got out of the car, walked forward, and said in a low voice, "Hello, Uncle."

Ji Yuedong nodded, "Hello."

Lu Xiao looked at Ji Shu sideways, and saw that he flew back to the nest like a chick that had just found his home, and he snuggled up to him intimately, with a gleam in his eyes that he had never seen before.

Ji Shu said goodbye to him, Lu Xiao came back to his senses, raised his hand and waved it stiffly, he said dully: "Goodbye."

Ji Yuedong took Ji Shu back to the house, Lu Xiao pushed the car to the railing of the yard, peeped through the gaps in the black fence covered with wild roses, and caught a glimpse of two people next to each other.
