CH 13

Jiang Jin was waiting in the canteen under the scorching sun, and soon saw Lu Xiao approaching him.

“Brother Xiao, there is only pure water.” He raised the bag in his hand and said, “I bought three bottles.”

Lu Xiao took the water in silence, unscrewed the bottle cap and took a gulp.

Jiang Jin handed him the small fan, and said with concern, “Fan it quickly, your face is getting hot.”

Maybe it was really too hot, and the heat was dizzying, Lu Xiao thought to himself.

He picked up the small fan and blew it on his face.

After a while, the heat on his face dissipated a lot, but he couldn’t calm down for a long time.

It clearly sounded like a joke, but it made his heart feel a blow, and he turned and walked away without even saying hello.

Thinking of the slightly embarrassing behavior just now, he couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Under the umbrella, Huang Sheng’an’s jaw almost dropped.

“You, do you really like men? You didn’t play with me, did you?” he stammered.

Ye Cheng calmly said: “What are you doing, you’re not funny.”

Huang Sheng’an’s face turned red and white, and he seemed to be hit hard. It took five minutes before he regained consciousness.

He looked at Ye Cheng tentatively and asked, “So, the gossip on the forum is all true?”

“What kind of gossip?” Ye Cheng was puzzled.

Huang Sheng’an said: “It’s you and you and your deskmate… Are you together? I mean, no wonder he was jealous last time.”

Ye Cheng: “…”

“You two are really together?” Huang Shengan stared.

“No.”

“Impossible! There’s something wrong with your expression!”

“Believe it or not.”

Under the shade of a tree, Xu Chao began to urge everyone to gather.

Huang Sheng’an was so curious but he could only go back to his class because of the roll call.

Before leaving, he glanced at Ye Cheng resentfully, as if he was certain that he was already in love.

Ye Cheng was aroused by him and wondered what the forum was discussing.

The class started to leave.

The stairs on the mountain road are very narrow and can only accommodate two people walking side by side.

Before going up the mountain, everyone voluntarily lined up according to the seating order.

Ye Cheng and Lu Xiao were in the same row, so they are climbing the mountain side by side.

After about half an hour, they reached halfway up the mountain.

Seeing that they were too tired, Xu Chao asked everyone to rest first.

All the places in the shade were occupied by the girls, and the boys sat around, exhaustingly blowing the fans.

Ye Cheng was sweating a lot, and his neck and collarbone exposed at the neckline were dripping with sweat.

The cold white skin has always been exposed to the sun, and his whole body is flushed with the blush after exercise.

The white T sticks to the skin and is very uncomfortable.

He tugged at his clothes to dissipate heat, and suddenly his eyes darkened.

A baseball cap was pressed down over his head, tightly covering his face.

Ye Cheng raised his head and met Lu Xiao’s gaze.

“It’s too hot to wear,you wear it for a while.” Lu Xiao avoided his gaze and fiddled with the sweaty fringe of his hair.

He stood in front of Ye Cheng, and his random movements attracted the attention of others.

Under the brim of his hat, the corners of Ye Cheng’s mouth raised slightly.

He clearly wanted to give him the hat, but he still had to make excuses. Is this an awkward high school boy?

Lu Xiao couldn’t see his expression clearly, and his eyes fell back on the loose neckline.

The pure white collar clings to the wet skin, and a small piece of collarbone is like an upside-down bowl, delicate and attractive.

Why do some people look so good even when they sweat?

The image in the dream reappeared in front of me.

The collarbone, the slender white ankles…

Lu Xiao abruptly looked away, his Adam’s apple moved up and down.

He covered his forehead with his hand, feeling the sun seem to be getting bigger.

After resting for ten minutes at the mountainside, Xu Chao continued to walk up with everyone.

“Teacher, how long does it take to get to the top of the mountain?”

“It’s so hot, why do you want to climb the mountain this season?”

Everyone complained.

Xu Chao cheered them on: “Come on! Hold on for a while, we are almost there. Let’s sing a song to raise morale, what do you want to sing?”

No one paid attention.

Xu Chao saw that everyone’s reaction was a little cold, so he threw a very attractive topic.

“There are bicycles and ropes on the top of the mountain. When you go down the mountain, you don’t have to walk.”

This aroused everyone’s desire to fight.

The Emperor’s Mausoleum was a few hundred meters away from the top of the mountain, but after coming up, everyone was paralyzed and didn’t want to move.

There are commissaries and car rental points on the top of the mountain, and the commissary is full of people.

Ye Cheng sat on the bench fanning himself, his mouth was dry from exhaustion.

In order to reduce the weight of his backpack, he put the drinks on the bus before going up the mountain.

He originally thought of buying water at the top of the mountain, but he didn’t expect that the line had already reached from the canteen to the door of the toilet.

“Is there still water?” he asked Lu Xiao next to him.

Lu Xiao turned to find Jiang Jin, another bottle of water was in his school bag.

However, he did not even catch a glimpse of Jiang Jin’s shadow so he didn’t know where he went.

Lu Xiao put half of the water in his hand on the chair, he got up and said, “I’ll ask where Jiang Jin is.”

“No need, I’ll take two sips.” Ye Cheng couldn’t wait, and picked up what he put down.

Lu Xiao opened his mouth.

Before he could stop it, he saw his lips stick to the place where he had drank.

Ye Cheng looks thin, but his lips are a bit chubby.

The color is light and fresh, and the lines are smooth and beautiful.

To put it bluntly, it looks very kissable .

He opened his mouth and drank the water from the bottle, gulping down the water in his throat.

For a moment, Lu Xiao only felt that his whole body was on fire.

The unidentified shock that was too strong made his head numb.

That’s… I drank from it.

The words that had reached his mouth were stuck in his throat.

Suddenly he couldn’t say a word.

Ye Cheng finished drinking the water, put down the bottle, and found that he had been staring at him.

“What’s wrong?” he asked suspiciously.

Lu Xiao looked at him stiffly, and briefly glanced at the bottle in his hand.

In just a few seconds, Ye Cheng understood what was going on.

… No, he wouldn’t be shy right?

Ye Cheng was a little shocked, he didn’t expect him to be so innocent.

Didn’t he just take a sip of his water?

Lu Xiao sat back pretending to be calm, but the tips of his ears were red, revealing his inner thoughts.

For a time, a seemingly non-existent embarrassment spread in the air.

Mixed with the hot and humid temperature, it nourishes the inexplicable ambiguity.

Ye Cheng didn’t know why his reaction was so strong, but as the only adult in the audience besides Xu Chao, he subconsciously wanted to take the initiative to resolve this embarrassment.

Not far away, several girls were riding bicycles to play.

He broke the silence and said, “That bike looks good to ride.”

Lu Xiao didn’t seem to want to stay in this place either. He looked up and said, “Do you want to ride?”

Ye Cheng just said it casually. He said embarrassedly, “But I can’t ride a bike.”

However, there is basically no need to ride a bicycle, since the driver drives him.

“I’ll teach you.” Lu Xiao said.

His voice was lowered a little, not always impatient as usual, as if he suddenly became very patient.

Ye Cheng didn’t expect him to say this, “…No need.”

Teach him?

Why does it sound like the kind of preschool children who have to be supported? It’s shameful to think about it.

But Lu Xiao said, “It’s okay, don’t you want to play and give it a try.”

At his invitation, Ye Cheng had no choice but to dig a hole and dance with tears, so he bravely went with him to rent a bike.

Lu Xiao held the back seat in advance, patted the seat and said, “Come up.”

Ye Cheng was so ashamed, feeling more and more like a child, he was forced to learn to bike.

What a pain.

A few girls gathered next to each other,one of them was Tan Xiaoqi.

She covered her mouth and whispered: “Ah, ah, I’ll just say they are ambiguous! I’m not talking nonsense, right?”

“God, what kind of stinky couple throwing dog food is in this scene, Guan Yu will teach you a lesson”

“I’ll tell you, I’ve never seen a gentleman so gentle, it’s scary, he was actually laughing just now.”

“…To tell you the truth, after Ye Cheng came to our class, this was my first time. I saw him laugh once.”

“We’re talking about their relationship, right?” The two parties had no idea that they had come out in public.

When Lu Xiao walked by calmly, the three girls wanted to rush to block the scene.

Ye Cheng originally thought that this would be a disaster, but then unexpectedly found it quite interesting.

He wriggled his bike, leaving a mark like a winding earthworm.

Lu Xiao never let go of his hand, and followed behind him step by step, giving people a sense of security.

The wheel rolled over the uneven stone pavement, and his body vibrated.

Ye Cheng let out an exclamation, and reflexively wanted to stretch out his foot and step on the ground.

The man behind him stabilized the bike with only one hand, and said, “It’s fine, continue riding.”

The grass in the cracks of the slate was crushed down and stood up again, as if the throbbing could not be restrained.

“Don’t let go.” Ye Cheng’s voice was rarely trembling.

Lu Xiao suddenly thought of trying to tease him, and pretended to let go of his hand as a mischief.

“Hey!” The body shook, Ye Cheng lost his balance and fell to one side.

In the next second, Lu Xiao reached out and supported his waist.

The wide hem conceals the waistline.

He made an unexpected profit and didn’t touch his thin abs until his clothes were wrinkled.

He didn’t expect his waist to be so thin, Lu Xiao thought in a mess.

Ye Cheng’s waist has always been a sensitive zone, to the extent that he will jump up when touched.

Being hugged so unexpectedly, he clenched his teeth subconsciously and didn’t shout.

“You!” He tilted his head slightly annoyed.

Seeing that he had made him angry, Lu Xiao quickly retracted his hand and grabbed the back seat, and said in a slow voice, “I’m kidding you, I won’t let go.”

The heat left in his palm lingered.

Ye Cheng took a deep breath and concentrated on continuing to ride.

Over time, his control became smoother and smoother.

This is probably the least challenge he had while learning to drive without ever falling.

Lu Xiao gradually let go and said with a low smile, “Look, you can learn it.”

For some reason, the voice in his ear seemed to overlap with another voice.

In the past, whenever he completed a project well, Lu Xiao would say with praise and pride: “Look, our Ye Cheng can always do it well, don’t keep putting so much pressure on yourself.”

Ye Cheng felt something in his heart. It became soft without noticing.

**

When it was time to return, Jiang Jin finally showed up.

He went to Class 9 to find Jiang Yirong, but he forgot that the water he bought for Ye Cheng was still with him.

When he got in the car, he squeezed to Ye Cheng and asked, “Brother Cheng, are you two reconciled?”

Xu Chao took the roster and read a name to get on the bus.

Ye Cheng glanced at Lu Xiao, who was walking at the back. Although there were many people in the middle, he could still see him at a glance.

“Can you let me borrow your homework in the future?” Jiang Jin said eagerly, “I copied Brother Xiao’s English for a few days, and Sister Wang said that I should ask my parents to do this again.”

Before he realized that the two had quarreled , he naively thought that Lu Xiao’s English was copied from Ye Cheng, so he copied it with confidence.

Who knew that it was almost all wrong for a few days in a row, and Wang Lili was so angry that he scolded him in the face.

Ye Cheng laughed and said: “Is it so difficult, just memorize more words?”

Jiang Jin said painfully: “Don’t even mention it, I always forget it after memorizing it. Brother Xiao is better than me, I bet he doesn’t know the words in Lesson 1.”

Ye Cheng stroked his chin thoughtfully, no wonder he scribbled all the English exams.

Jiang Jin followed him into the car and sat down beside him.

The people behind got on one after another, until finally, Lu Xiao got up.

He stood in the aisle and looked down at Jiang Jin.

“Get up.” Lu Xiao said.

The people around looked up at him.

Jiang Jin thought he wanted to sit with him, so he glanced at Ye Cheng apologetically, for fear that he would be embarrassed.

“Brother Xiao, why don’t you sit with the monitor, there are no more seats left.” He pointed to the front row and said, it’s not good to leave Ye Cheng alone.

Who knows, Lu Xiao said impatiently: “You go to the front, I want to sit here.”

The others snickered and looked at Jiang Jin amusingly.

Jiang Jin was dumbfounded. After a few seconds, he got up angrily and said, “The clown turned out to be me, you sit together! Very good!”

Lu Xiao sat down in his seat, and out of the corner of his eye saw Ye Cheng still looking at him .

“What are you looking at, haven’t you seen a handsome guy?” he said unnaturally.

Ye Cheng took out his phone and said, “Are you sleepy?”

Lu Xiao thought he wanted to play games, and immediately regained his energy: “Not sleepy, let’s start a game?”

Ye Cheng said, “Then let’s memorize the words from Unit 1.I’ll help you.”

Lu Xiao: “?”

So for an hour on the road, Lu Xiao was forced to memorize the words in the first four units.

He was not happy, even if the blue veins burst out, he could only endure it all the way.

The words spit out from Ye Cheng’s beautiful lips were like a haunting spell that caused a headache, and he didn’t want to hear it a second time in his life.

How can this be?

After getting out of the car, Lu Xiao’s head was still confused.

Everyone went back to class and it was time for dinner.

They thought it would be possible to leave school early today, but Xu Chao said that they would go to self-study at night as usual.

The sudden bad news made everyone complain.

Xu Chao was like a scumbag who turned his face after playing, leaning on the podium and sneering: “You still have the heart to complain, and you don’t want to look at the mid-term exam next week. The parent meeting of the last monthly exam was temporarily canceled, this time is not the case so I will not let you go again.”

“I can’t do it anymore, I’m really tired, teacher.” Li Junxiao fell on the table.

Xu Chao glared at him, “Are you still tired? What do you think you’re doing under my nose? You think I don’t know, right? You, Tan Xiaoqi, Zhang Tao, Ke Huimin, wait for me in my office.”

The names that were reported were all couples in the class.

The classroom was silent for a moment, and everyone looked at each other and made eye contact silently.

As soon as Xu Chao left, the class exploded.

Jiang Jin turned his head and said, “Fuck, Teacher has a shrewd eye. He caught them all.” Ye Cheng walked for a day, holding his head tiredly and said, ” puppy love is easy to get caught.”

The children think they are well hidden, but the atmosphere between the two cannot be deceived.

“Brother Cheng, you sound very experienced, have you experience about it before?” Jiang Jin smirked.

Ye Cheng said nonchalantly, “That’s right.”

Lu Xiao looked at him, the pen in his hand clenched tightly.

Because Xu Chao talked to a few people today, the atmosphere of the evening self-study was sloppy.

Everyone knows that he has no time to come to inspect, and after playing for a day, they have no intention of studying at all, and some people are reading novels on their mobile phone underneath the table.

Ye Cheng didn’t rest well at noon, and lay on the table weakly and sleepy.

He rested his head on his arm and closed his eyes, facing the window.

The long eyelashes were reflected on the lower eyelid. The usual arrogance and indifference was absent while sleeping, there was an aura surrounding him that people dare not touch him.

Lu Xiao didn’t know how long he had been looking.

The classroom was silent except for the sound of fans turning and paper turning pages.

The quiet environment made his thoughts more chaotic.

That joke has been lingering in his ears all day, accompanied by a strange and fresh feeling.

“Laugh till you die, I’m not straight at all.”

So is it a joke, or is he serious?

If he doesn’t like girls, then the ones he talked about before were also boys?

The question rose and exploded in his mind like a bubbling soda in the sun.

Lu Xiao held a black pen in his right hand and rested it on his left hand in a relaxed posture.

He looked too intently and didn’t notice that the fountain pen was getting closer and closer to Ye Cheng’s school uniform cuff.

Through the half-opened glass window, the night breeze brought a faint scent of flowers.

He seemed to smell the bellflower, though it seemed to be just an illusion.

Ye Cheng moved suddenly, and the cuff of his hit the tip of the pen.

Lu Xiao regained his senses and quickly moved his hand away.

But the black pen still left a scratch on the white school uniform.

He frowned, wondering if it was because he wanted to wake Ye Cheng or because he soil his school uniform.

Ye Cheng changed his posture unconsciously and continued to fall asleep.

Lu Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.

The ink marks on the school uniform weave the biggest secret of this summer.

He stared at the dirty place, and there was a voice in his heart like a drum.

——What kind of boy would someone like Ye Cheng like?

T/N: Ye Cheng would like someone like you.
