hold you in my arms tonight

On the first day of [-], Dean Zhang put nougat on each child's pillow, which was their New Year's gift.

"Happy New Year, Xie Yuan," Jiang Xun said.

Xie Yuan smiled and peeled off the candy wrapper, fed the candy into Jiang Xun's mouth, and said with a smile, "Happy New Year, Jiang Xun."

Jiang Xun put two candies on the table, his face was calm for a while, and it took a long time before he laughed.

Happy New Year, Aguai, Ono.

The new semester is coming soon, and the weather has been gloomy for many days, but on the day of reporting for the new semester, the sun rarely appeared.

Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun were still sitting in the same positions as before. The first class was still changing seats. The students were walking around in the classroom, and Jiang Xun sat in his own position, straightening his back.

Jiang Xun is quiet.Xie Yuan prefers sports. After getting along for a semester, he has become very familiar with his classmates and often makes appointments to play basketball together.

Xie Yuan was playing basketball, and Jiang Xun was sitting on a chair in the auditorium with a book to do the questions. His eyes were tired and he raised his head, just like Xie Yuan scoring a goal.

"You are not brothers, you are conjoined twins," Luo Ping concluded.

Xie Yuan and Luo Ping played with a few people in the dormitory next door, and during the break after grabbing the ball, a few boys chatted one after another.

"You and Jiang Xun have such a good relationship," a boy said with a smile, "Have you known each other for many years? From elementary school?"

Xie Yuan hummed lightly, but did not answer the following questions.

Luo Ping ran to Xie Yuan's side after shooting the basket, wanting to hook his shoulders, but then thought that although Xie Yuan was gentle and courteous to everyone on weekdays, in fact he only got close to Jiang Xun.

Thinking of this, he just patted Xie Yuan's shoulder and said: "You and Jiang Xun are so good, how can you have a girlfriend and fall in love in the future? You can't fall in love with Jiang Xun."

Xie Yuan was at a loss: "What love?"

Luo Ping smiled: "Are you a nerd after studying? Don't you know that several girls in the class like you? That's right, you treat everyone the same."

Xie Yuan is 13 years old and is in the first grade of junior high school. He used to think about how to have enough food every day in Lanlin Lane. Hearing the topics of these peers, he was extremely unfamiliar.

It was already late to return to the dormitory after playing basketball, Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun went to the public bathhouse together.They've always showered together, and that hasn't changed.

When taking a bath, Xie Yuan turned his back to Jiang Xun.The boy's body began to grow little by little, from a boy to a teenager.

He turned around and faced the young man, hot steam was floating in the air, his eyes were dazzled, and he looked away awkwardly for a moment.Suddenly remembered what Luo Ping said when playing basketball.

That night Xie Yuan had a dream, psychedelic and bizarre.

When he woke up in the morning, his head hurt a little, and it hurt even more before he lifted the quilt.

Jiang Xunyun glanced at him and didn't respond. Luo Ping, who entered the room with a mouthwash cup, was delighted, and whistled: "Wow, you've grown up!"

Xie Yuan blushed, and ran to the bathroom with a change of clothes in his arms. Behind him, Luo Ping laughed loudly, and said to Zhang Ze and Gao Cheng, "Aren't you embarrassed? I've been like this since I was 12 years old!"

The teenagers suppressed their laughter, and Jiang Xun asked blankly, "What's wrong? What's wrong with him?"

Zhang Ze didn't expect that there would be someone who was even less sensible. He showed his kindness and took out a book from under his pillow, opened it and placed it in front of Jiang Xun, and slowly explained it to him.

After Jiang Xun finished listening, his face was redder than Xie Yuan's, and his tone was a little hasty: "You all focus on your studies, don't think about these things!"

"Are you really not knowing or are you pretending not to know?" Gao Cheng was speechless, "It's all taught in biology class."

Jiang Xun didn't answer. He hadn't heard what was said in the biology class before, but it was not as profound as it is now.

The bathroom door opened, and Xie Yuan came out with the same expression as usual, as if nothing had happened.

"Tell me, who did you dream about last night?" Luo Ping asked gossip, "Tell me, is it from our class?"

Xie Yuan gave him a blank look, and pushed Jiang Xun who was in a daze: "Pack up quickly, class is about to begin."

Jiang Xun went out with a mouthwash cup, Xie Yuan glanced at his back seemingly casually, and quickly looked away.

He clenched his fists, his heart was far less calm than the surface.

Studying and living are very peaceful, the days on campus pass quickly, and the mid-term is coming in a blink of an eye.

In the midterm exam, Xie Yuan was still number one.This time the test was better than last time, the class was first, and the grade was ranked fifth.

Yu Na was the happiest. She originally put these two students who had been away from campus for a long time into her class. Although she accepted it, she was very worried.What she worried about was that low scores would bring down the average score.But the current situation is that the two teenagers have excellent grades, especially Xie Yuan, who has amazing learning ability.

She believed that by the next semester, Xie Yuan would definitely be the first in the grade.At that time, she will also feel proud among the teachers.

However, at this time, something happened in the fifth class of junior high school that she didn't know about.

He Ling has been dissatisfied with Xie Yuan for a long time, because she complained about Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun's positions before, and now Xie Yuan hit her in the face with strength.She was very dissatisfied with both boys.

She has been paying attention to the two boys silently, secretly competing in her heart, but finds out that the two boys may not even remember her name.Her good friend is in Class [-]. People in Class [-] said that two top students in the grade used to be pickpockets.

Everyone in class seven knew that there was a girl named Su Qing in their class who was in the same orphanage as the two boys.

Su Qing said in public: "What top students? They used to be pickpockets in the streets and alleys, and they were sent to the orphanage only after the person who adopted them died. The dean took pity on them and took them in. As soon as they came to the courtyard, the courtyard began to disappear for no reason. something..."

The words spread like this, and He Ling was very surprised when she heard it for the first time. She was dissatisfied with Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun because she felt that they did not take herself seriously, but to be honest, she felt that the two boys They are all good-looking, white and clean, different from those smelly boys.They also speak nicely and politely.

But when I think about it, what if I know people, face, but not heart?

He Ling thought, she must expose their true colors, so that they can never ignore her in the future!

Back in Class [-], a few girls headed by Yin Yue gathered around Xie Yuan's seat to talk, and some girls pretended to ask him questions.

Xie Yuan had a good temper, and said, "Can we change positions and talk? Jiang Xun is still working on the problem, so don't disturb him."

The girls naturally had no objections, and when they were about to change positions, He Ling said in a strange way: "I just heard a scary thing, I was so scared!"

A girl asked casually, "What is it?"

He Ling took the opportunity to sit opposite Xie Yuan, and said: "I heard that there are two thieves in our class. They are not ordinary thieves, but the kind of thieves who specialize in stealing for a living! I heard that their grades are particularly good. !"

Jiang Xun paused to write, raised his head, not daring to look at other people, and looked at Xie Yuan as if asking for help.

He Ling laughed a few times and asked, "Xie Yuan, tell me, how did you do it? You are so busy stealing things every day, and you also take care of your studies?"

Both Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun sat quietly and did not speak, Yin Yue at the side couldn't bear to watch anymore, and asked He Ling instead: "Don't you have to be responsible for what you say?"

"Why, do you dare to admit it?" He Ling said, "This is well-founded, you can't deny it!"

"Who said that?"

"What?" He Ling didn't understand what he said.

Xie Yuan suddenly raised his voice, and asked again: "I ask you who said that!"

He Ling was taken aback by the sudden shock. She suddenly felt a little uncertain, so she forced herself to straighten her waist and said, "Why, you admitted it? Su Qing from Class [-] said that she was in the same orphanage as you."

Neither Xie Yuan nor Jiang Xun had any impression of the girl named Su Qing.But at this moment, they were all at a loss. They wanted to get rid of that unbearable memory. They originally planned to leave it in dust in this life, but they were exposed in such an embarrassing way.

Yin Yue was originally on the side of Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun, but the current situation seemed to show that He Ling was telling the truth. She couldn't find anything to say for a while, so she had to remain silent.

It's recess time now, most of the students are in the classroom, everyone watches the play silently, and those who have good things will discuss with them.All eyes were on Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun, with suspicion and inquiry.

If there is only one person at this moment, everyone just wants to escape.

Xie Yuan felt fortunate that he was not facing it alone, Jiang Xun was beside him.

Jiang Xun calmed down first. He grabbed Xie Yuan's sleeve and tried to keep his tone calm: "First, we have had many bad things in the past, but none of them were of our own will. Second, this has nothing to do with yours. It doesn't matter to everyone, and you don't need to condemn. Third, we... have a clear conscience."

Jiang Xun always remembered that police officer Lin Quan said that the wrong person is an adult, and they are all innocent.They are innocent, they did not complain, but they cannot be the target of public criticism.

Xie Yuan noticed that Jiang Xun's hand holding his arm was trembling. He looked at He Ling and looked directly into the girl's eyes for the first time. He said calmly but clearly, "We have a clear conscience."

He Ling fiddled with her hair unnaturally, sat back in her seat, and said disdainfully, "It's unlucky to be a classmate with this kind of thief."

Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun straightened their backs, lowered their heads and read books in silence under the eyes of everyone.

Soon the class bell rang, and everyone's theater time was over.

Gao Cheng and Zhang Ze were at the same table, and he asked Zhang Ze in a low voice, "Are you serious? We share the same dormitory with them, so we need to store things better in the future!"

Zhang Ze was struggling with a math problem, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the words: "What are you afraid of? What can someone steal from you?"

It was an unintentional sentence at first, but Gao Cheng's face was very ugly.He felt that Zhang Ze knew that his family's conditions were not good, looked down on him, and was mocking him.

"Then be careful," Gao Cheng said sullenly.

Gao Cheng didn't finish speaking, he wanted Zhang Ze to be careful, lest he be stolen and find no place to cry.

Jiang Xun was not in the mood to listen to the class that day. He always felt that everyone was staring at him, so he tried to straighten his back a bit more.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here," Xie Yuan said, "No matter what, no matter what else, we will face it together."
