ninety-nine twelve

As early as the first day of school, the class leader pulled all the boys into a separate group on WeChat and asked what to do on Girls' Day this year.I don't really understand this matter. After watching them chat for a long time, I finally figured out what Girls' Day is for.

I asked again: What does that have to do with men?

They said that when they were in the second year of high school, everyone didn’t have this awareness. When they saw other classes giving girls greeting cards and snacks that day, a few people rushed to raise funds, went to the supermarket to buy a few boxes of chocolate pies, and distributed them to each girl in the class. Then last year they became famous throughout the school for being perfunctory.Although the boys do not have this responsibility and obligation, the girls don't mention the collective benefits once a year. In fact, all of them are waiting for the festival.

According to the class leader’s analysis, science classes often have an advantage at this time. There are only 14 girls in our class. It is much easier to buy gifts, and the financial pressure on each boy is also small. The total amount is considerable.

The squad leader spent so much time trying, and finally got to the point, at this time another person also said: Stop talking nonsense, pay for it.

I asked Wu Haoyu privately, how much should I pay, can't really just pay ten yuan?

He seems to have never looked at his phone, and he has never made a sound in the group. I saw that everyone in the group began to send out red envelopes, and asked the squad leader to collect them. I didn't wait for him to reply anymore. After thinking about it, there were more It's always good, so I sent a full amount.

When Wu Haoyu appeared late, the reply I received was: twenty is enough.

I had a bad premonition, and clicked on the group message again, and my red envelope had already been collected, and the squad leader also sent an emoji, saying: Bow to Boss Zhang's power.

There are several people surnamed Zhang in the class, and I was thinking about how to fool them, when Wu Haoyu's private chat messages came over: How many did you send?

I replied: two hundred.

He answered me with a series of question marks, and then followed the squad leader in the group and sent exactly the same sentence: Bow to Boss Zhang's power.

Immediately afterwards, the squad leader sent another screenshot, showing the current amount of funds raised, with an additional sentence: There are currently 23 people participating in the crowdfunding, and those who cannot be contacted are to be determined. Once again, bow to the power of Boss Zhang.

Then I sent a smiley emoji in the group.

23 people raised funds, and more than 600 were collected. Sure enough, except for me, everyone else only contributed about [-] yuan.

Fuck, this time I'm pretending to be aggressive.

Thanks to me, the amount of money that can be used on Girls’ Day is more than 800 yuan. It was originally just a gift, but the upgrade has changed into several tricks. Wu Haoyu also yelled at each boss, complimenting and laughing at me a lot.

On Girls’ Day, a group of people went to McDonald’s to get breakfast in the morning, trying to put the breakfast on everyone’s table before the first girl entered the classroom. After school, a group of people went to get milk tea and small cakes, and specially notified the girls in the class in advance not to buy milk tea by themselves.

The whole process was not carried out in secret, and when some girls asked, they all told the truth, and it was rare to have a unified caliber, telling them to take it easy and not eat too much.

The squad leader led four or five people to get breakfast early in the morning. For some reason, they changed the coffee to hot chocolate, which made the classroom still smell of sweet chocolate after several classes.

The first shot in the third class was fired, and it spread throughout the morning. The girls were happy, and the boys were also happy. Later, it even spread to the teacher's ears. When they came to class, they made fun of the boys in the class as soon as they entered the classroom.

The flowers to be picked up at noon are neither too many nor too heavy, so you can go alone. Before I had a chance to ask Wu Haoyu if he wanted to get milk tea and cake at night, he took the initiative to ask the class monitor to get the flowers.

In fact, I still have a little bit, how to put it, I am not used to it.

But the truth is, he and I really don't need to do everything together, especially after that farce.

I was taking an afternoon nap on my stomach on the table, but I woke up without warning. When I looked up in a daze, I saw Wu Haoyu come back with flowers.The variety of the flower is gerbera. I don’t know who decided it. Wu Haoyu didn’t take one flower for each of the various colors, but roughly divided the three colors of yellow, orange and pink. Each flower was individually packaged and bundled into a bundle for him to hug. in arms.

In the classroom, even a needle can be heard. Wu Haoyu pushed the door lightly and walked in, and then closed the door quietly. Starting from the nearest first group, one by one the flowers were taken from his arms. Pull it out and gently put it on the girl's desk. If he encounters a desk full of books, he will remove a gap between the books and insert the flower in, making the highest point of the entire desk a flower. You can see it when you look up.

This man is so romantic.

Less than 10 minutes before the end of the lunch break, Wu Haoyu returned to his seat, I quickly closed my eyes, he seemed to sit down after a while, the whole process was quiet and did not wake anyone up.

I opened my eyes slowly, unable to tell what it was like.

In the afternoon round, the squad leader came over and told me that if I paid the money, I don’t need to work hard. Wu Haoyu listened in front, and suddenly laughed, and turned around and answered inappropriately: "It’s true, you can’t treat the landlord’s family harshly. Silly son."

I angrily kicked his stool, "Who are you talking about?"

"I said Boss Zhang, are you Boss Zhang?"

"Shut up, I beg you."

The squad leader also watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, he laughed and booed together: "Hey, Zhang Tianle, do you have a mine at home?"

"There's a fart, there is shit in my house." After I finished speaking, I glared at Wu Haoyu again, and he still smiled heartlessly at me. Isn't he responsible for this matter? If he can reply me in time, there will be trouble. Is this a joke?

"Oh, by the way, I'll bring the things back later, let's go eat together, let's celebrate."

I didn't answer, and glanced at Wu Haoyu, but he turned to the squad leader, didn't look at me, and answered naturally: "I won't go, I have to go home, I have a courier."

The squad leader asked me again: "What about you? Anyone can not go, but Boss Zhang can't."

What he said had no effect on me, "I'm not going either, I still have to train."

The squad leader made a "cut" and complained that we were a disappointment. I continued to chat with them and felt bored, so I prepared to go to the playground. Before I left, I looked at Wu Haoyu again. He was having a good chat with the squad leader. I didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave school, so I hesitated for a while, but I didn't ask for the invitation to go together in the end.

While I was having dinner, I received a message from Wu Haoyu: Your game notification has arrived.

When I filled out the registration form, because my dad couldn’t find out, I couldn’t just fill in my home address in the mailing address column, so I had to fill in Wu Haoyu’s home address. At the same time, as a double insurance, I also filled in the address of the coaching company on the second line .Later, I greeted Wu Haoyu and told him to notify me as soon as he received any documents.

I counted the days, and it was almost time for the qualifying round. When I got excited, I even forgot to ask if he was still at home. I quickly finished two mouthfuls of food, and ran straight to his house.

I was still the same as before, I opened the door and entered the house by myself. I didn’t see Wu Haoyu when I walked into the room, so I turned my head to go out, but I happened to bump into him coming in from the outside. Wearing school uniform and trousers, he looks like he just got out of the shower.

I was startled, and blurted out, "Why aren't you wearing clothes?"

"Why are you here?" Wu Haoyu's voice sounded at the same time as mine. After speaking, he seemed to feel that the question was useless, and curled his lips unconsciously.

I opened my mouth unnaturally, but decided to answer him: "I'll get the notice."

Wu Haoyu passed me sideways and entered the room, opened the closet and found a short-sleeved shirt and put it on. I glanced at his back and subconsciously turned my gaze away. Then he came out with a black sweater and walked out while wearing it.

I stood at the door of the room, wondering if I should avoid it.Wu Haoyu didn't seem to think I was in the way, so he went out and came back, handing over a large cardboard envelope.

I took out the documents in the envelope, and the quasi-competition qualification review was passed. I roughly browsed the entry notice and information description. The qualifying competition is a non-public competition stage, more like the trials in Hong Kong. Generally only coaches and related personnel are allowed to accompany me. My group time was scheduled for a Thursday in mid-March at the Wan Chai Stadium. I was calculating the time, and my understanding of the current situation was still in the past. I didn’t think much about it before asking. Wu Haoyu: "Are you coming?"

"Me?" Wu Haoyu raised his eyebrows, "Of course I won't go, I don't have time."

"Oh, yes." I replied in embarrassment, without words to continue.

At this time Wu Haoyu had already put on his coat, he took the key, grabbed the bath towel and finally wiped his hair casually, walked to the door and put on his shoes and said to me: "Let's go, study at night."

"Oh." I repacked the files and went out with him.

Something's wrong... Now is the past, and if it were the past, I would really ask, are you coming, so there's something wrong.

Nothing is wrong, but I feel that everything is wrong.

The style of celebrating Women's Day is much less than that of Girls' Day. Most of the classes send greeting cards to the female teachers to write blessings. After all, the school alone gives all the female teachers half a day off, so there is no need for students to worry about sending welfare.

Although the students still had to go to school as usual, most of the teachers left the school after noon, so it was inevitable that they would be loose. After school, I asked Wu Haoyu if he wanted to go down to practice together, but he turned me down, saying he had other things to do.I stayed alone on the playground for a while, and saw students running towards the gymnasium from time to time, in groups of three or four, and I asked a passing classmate to find out that the singing competition in the school was about to be held again, and it was going on now Some people were practicing singing in the gymnasium, and those who were free went to watch.

I knew it, it was probably the competition that Wu Haoyu had participated in before, and I was thinking that there are so many activities in this school next semester, so I heard the classmate in front of me say: "Wu Haoyu is here, don't you want to go?"

I wondered about the logical relationship between Wu Haoyu's presence and whether I would go or not, and I had already arrived at the gymnasium.The gymnasium is usually closed. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence today, but it’s open for students to come and go as they please. It’s an indoor basketball court, and the total area of ​​the stands is not particularly large. There seem to be two or three groups of people practicing and singing. The students were mainly gathered in one place, and I moved closer, only to see clearly that they were people from the music club.

Senior high school students said that they are no longer allowed to participate in club activities, but many of the people surrounded were high school seniors, Wu Haoyu was there, Xiao Junlei was also there, they leaned back with a few other people, looking lazy .

The drums were beating non-stop, and there was no way to beat them. Xiao Junlei lowered his head and said something to Wu Haoyu's ear, and Wu Haoyu laughed.

I felt bored for no reason, so I involuntarily took out my mobile phone to call Wu Haoyu, he quickly felt the vibration of the mobile phone, picked it up and connected: "Hello?"

"Where are you?" I asked.

"At the gym, what's going on?"

"what are you doing?"

"The music club has a rehearsal here today."

"..." I was speechless, Wu Haoyu didn't lie, everything was right, but my mood wasn't any better, what was wrong...

At this time, a person passed by me, and shouted "Big Snake" into the crowd. Xiao Junlei took two steps forward when he heard the sound, and the person made a gesture to him. From his mouth shape, it seemed that He said "fuck me", and then Wu Haoyu threw him a bunch of keys, Xiao Junlei took them and left in a hurry.

Wu Haoyu looked at him worriedly, and when he raised his eyes, he saw me by the way.

He was still holding the phone in one hand. When he saw me, he hung up the phone silently, and I also put down the phone. I felt that this place was really unbearable. Not only did I think so, but I did the same thing. What I didn't expect was that Wu Haoyu would chase after me. When he came over, he grabbed my arm and asked me, "What's wrong with you?"

I took a deep breath, this was not a good start to a conversation, I turned around to face him, and said word for word: "It's nothing."

Wu Haoyu frowned, let go of his hand, looked at me for a long time before saying: "Today is taking advantage of the fact that the teaching director is also home on vacation, and Big Snake asked the head of the sports team to borrow the key of the gymnasium, and it is open for everyone to practice singing. It is placed in the gymnasium. Usually the gymnasium is not allowed to enter. They can’t practice. They plan to ship out the equipment after the rehearsal today. Orochi has a friend in the music club and asks Orochi for help. They practice songs and have competitions. I participated in it last year , Big Snake asked me to help take a look, and then you saw something, it seems that something happened just now."

"Are you finished?"

Wu Haoyu was startled, then nodded, "It's over."

Then there is nothing more to say, I turned around to leave, Wu Haoyu's voice continued to sound behind me: "Do you think it is worthwhile for me to explain to you?"

His words held me in place like a nail, and I felt stiff, not only physically but also mentally.

He asked again, "Do you want to fight?"

This time it was my turn to frown and turn around to ask him, "What did you say?"

"I said, do you want to fight?"

"...I don't want to, are you sick?"

"It's fine if you don't want to," he paused, as if he was enduring, but he said in a blunt but still gentle voice, "then don't make trouble for no reason."

I may have been hit by what he said, a heat rushed to the top of my head accompanied by a shock, I became angry from embarrassment, I pushed him with my hand, but I didn't think about what to say before I leaned forward.

Wu Haoyu was pushed back a step by me, met my gaze, looked at him but suddenly laughed, maybe I heard it wrong, his voice was a little hoarse for a moment, "Tianle, you believe me Once, okay?"

This question was a question, but from Wu Haoyu's mouth, it sounded like he didn't mean to ask me. It seemed that he didn't expect anything from me at all. Back to the rehearsal crowd.

Believe, believe what?I believe it, I have always believed it, where have I not believed him?

I felt like I was running out of space, and no matter if it was anger or enthusiasm, I would never touch him in the slightest. He just stood there, not near or far from me.

This was the first time I was explicitly scared.

I was also afraid when he said he liked me, but at the time I was so confused, I couldn't even say what I was afraid of, I just knew that ignoring him and staying away from him was a natural solution.Now that this involvement is finally gone, Wu Haoyu is still Wu Haoyu, but I have come to the edge of his life unknowingly, and more often I can only watch this person.

Obviously it’s back to the past, isn’t it? It’s already back, isn’t it? Then why didn’t I dare to ask him directly why he chose to watch the rehearsal instead of training with me? Why didn’t I dare to directly say that I hope he will watch my first official game , Why didn't you dare to ask him directly after school if he wanted to go together, why didn't you dare to directly tease him for his gentle behavior of giving flowers to girls.

What is wrong...

We joked, laughed and scolded every day, he was neither indifferent nor avoiding suspicion, he was properly intimate and distant, everything I could think of and what I hoped for, Wu Haoyu did it.

Now he told me not to be vexatious.

I admit that this word is basically a flaming bow and arrow that hits the bull's-eye, making me jump on my feet.Wu Haoyu understands me so well, sometimes I even feel that he understands me better than me, he must know what I think, my unbalanced psychology, the gap caused loss, and he also knows that I have no right to stand He asked for priority treatment, so I was really making trouble out of no reason. He has his friends and preferences, and his life is very fulfilling. There is nothing because it is related to me, so I have to do it.

I left the gymnasium and squatted down at the gate with my head in my arms, my palms sweating.

I finally feel defeated, why is this happening, why is it worse than before when I tried so hard to be friends with him, why am I watching myself lose this person, and do nothing.
