Chapter 2 Part 1: Second round

Chapter 9: The Second Round (1) second round: one Four days have passed. Under the influence of certain foreign objects, Xia Shengxuan will have momentary mood swings. The romantic line related to "hug" is just one of them.In addition, the bus on the way home, a certain song with clear drumbeats, or the girls in beige school uniforms in my eyes, all of them have changed from the meaningless characteristics of the past to abnormal beating The spectrum of the sixteen-year-old boy always feels palpitations passively. "And then substitute this X into the previous equation—"

"A girl said yesterday that she wanted to be my friend." Xia Shengxuan only felt that the pencil in his hand suddenly turned a corner, leaving an invisible trace in the air: "...En? What?" Compared with Shengxuan's surprise, Xia Zhengyi, who was obviously more nonchalant, rubbed the strip of rubber crumbs and said, "I just came here and stuffed a letter saying that I want to be my friend." Not knowing where to start asking questions, Shengxuan looked into the child's eyes: "'friend'?" "I think it's probably boyfriend and girlfriend."

Being overwhelmed by the other party's tone of saying "It's six o'clock now", Sheng Xuan wondered if he should be amused by Zheng Yi's attitude, but in fact he did show a little powerless gentle expression: "...then what did you say? ?” "I don't agree." Shouldn't this kind of thing be responded with "agree" or "disagree", Shengxuan thought, and repeated again: "Did you not agree?" "Yeah, girls are very troublesome." Zheng Yi returned to his homework, "Hey...this one is also very troublesome."

It should be the opinion that boys who are two years younger will have. Trouble or something.Homework is troublesome.Game bosses that cannot be passed are very troublesome.It is troublesome to let the sudden rain soak your shoes when you go out.Overcrowded trams are troublesome.Earlier, I would only use "very annoying" to describe things, but now when I encounter them again, I will use a little imitation of an adult-like demeanor, bringing what I think is the right amount of disdain, helplessness and resistance, and say "very troublesome". "Are. And now there is "girls are troublesome" said with the same expression.

Sheng Xuan looked at Zheng Yi whose teeth were resting on the penholder.When his tutoring ended, the boy whose progress was obviously slowed down when faced with the rest of the calculation hadn't moved for a long time. "In the same class?" Still a little curious. "Ah? What?" Zheng Yi seized the opportunity of being interrupted to ask the question that had been on his mind since just now, "The TV will start in three minutes!!" The tone is followed by the expectation of "take a break for a while". Shengxuan couldn't help sympathizing with the girl who mustered up the courage to confess to Zhengyi.If she develops the three-stage transformation ability like the protagonist in the animation, or even a devil who is so evil that he wants to destroy all mankind, maybe she will be more attractive to Zheng Yi.

"And I think it's better to be serious about feelings." This time he finally couldn't control it. After hearing Zheng Yi's confessional remarks, Xia Shengxuan held his forehead and burst into tears. two At the class committee meeting of the whole grade, Xie Zhe sat on the left side of Shengxuan, so when the girl on the right side of Shengxuan spoke to Xie Zhe, the boy put his chin on Shengxuan's shoulder and responded to the girl like this.Shengxuan didn't bother to reject him. After all, the facts have already proved that under the supervision of strong public opinion, he wants to resist the current "trend" just by himself.

The file in my hand is very boring, and it is inevitable that I will divert my attention and hear the conversation between the two when I look through it.It seems that Xie Zhe and that girl were classmates in junior high school and entered their respective classes after high school.They talk about an old classmate: "Because I know that you have a very close relationship with him, I feel that I must inform you." "When did this happen?" "It was the day before yesterday." "En." Then Xie Zhe said, "Thank you." After the meeting, Xie Zhe explained to Shengxuan: "She (referring to the class committee member) was the forehand in junior high school (Shengxuan asked, 'Squad leader?'), yes, I was the deputy...how come I have always been the deputy This time, my former buddy had an accident and was sent to the hospital yesterday, so we wanted to visit him."

"Oh." Sheng Xuan nodded, and recalled it after a while, "Why did you tell me?" "If you don't explain, I'm afraid you will be jealous." The boy patted Sheng Xuan's shoulder. "...be careful I take that thing under your left ribcage and hit it like a softball." "As long as you let go of the things in my crotch!" When Shengxuan walked near his home, he saw Zheng Yi was squatting with several boys of the same age or younger, squeezing their heads between the two walls. Sheng Xuan walked over: "What are you looking at?"

Zheng Yi turned around: "It's going to have a baby." "What?" Sheng Xuan didn't understand for a while, and looked in.After passing over the heads of several children with his height advantage, he saw a female cat twitching her abdomen at the end of the corner under the night. Shengxuan knew that female cats were the most vigilant when giving birth, so they probably chose such a hidden corner to wait for delivery.It was just discovered by some child. Although relying on the narrow length of the wall gap to make them unable to reach themselves, its nerves are also facing a severe test in full view.A little moved by compassion, Shengxuan greeted "Don't look", while pulling Zhengyi's arm to take him away.

The children did not pay attention to such instruction, except for Zheng Yi who muttered "no way" reluctantly, the others remained motionless.Even one of the boys touched a branch from the ground and made a gesture of poking it.Fortunately, Sheng Xuan reacted quickly enough to pinch the opponent's wrist. Asked: "What do you want?" "I see that it doesn't move, is it dead?" While twisting and trying to break free, "Let go of me!" Sheng Xuan frowned, grabbed the child's arm and dragged him to the ground: "Go home. Now." He turned to the rest of the people: "And you." His voice was calm but cold.

The older boy with a serious expression who is a few heads taller than himself, the overlapping of several conditions can still play a considerable deterrent effect after all.So even though there was hatred on their faces, the children left while cursing in a naive manner. Only then did he look at Zheng Yi: "You go back to me too." Because of the unquestionable look in Shengxuan's eyes, Zheng Yi patted his knees and stood up. He licked his lips and finally did not speak. At the end of the physical education class that day, Xie Zhe waved at Shengxuan and said, "I'll leave early later." "What's wrong?" "Go to the hospital with her to visit former classmates." Thinking of what happened before, Shengxuan said: "Yes. Good." He nodded to the female class committee member in the neighboring class. Needing to buy some ingredients for dinner, Shengxuan went to the supermarket once.After walking out of the moving door, he held the plastic bag in his hand and quickly assembled the most complete dishes in his mind.When he reached the back street, Shengxuan found that at some point, the sole of his left shoe was stuck with a tape from the supermarket, and the boy stopped.I was too lazy to bend down, so I used my right foot to help me step on it. Chapter 10: The Second Round (2) At about that time, a figure rushed out of nowhere at a speed that almost hit him. The very sudden situation made Shengxuan startled unconsciously, so when he heard the following sentence "Stop!", he subconsciously looked up at the source of the voice.It's just that what fell from the sky at the same time as that shout was a basin of extremely impactful and unexpected cold water. impartial. It perfectly met Xia Shengxuan's face. three In short, do not underestimate the horoscope fortune-telling book. This was the first ridiculous idea thought of by Xia Shengxuan, whose eyelashes were covered with water droplets and couldn't help trembling when the wind came.But indeed, he recalled himself being dragged in during the day when the girls were chattering about their horoscope. "Water-based" was not on my mind at the time... But now I know that this idea is wrong... Just when Shengxuan was still unable to control his thoughts to wander because of the "shock" he had just suffered.The perpetrator who accidentally injured the innocent had already run down the stairs, shouting repeatedly, "I'm so sorry! I'm going to slam that bastard who posted the small advertisements indiscriminately!" Shengxuan raised his eyes and looked carefully through the mist. long haired.Beige uniform.A girl who is getting clearer. facial features.Eye.Every detail of the face matches the key points in the memory. The boy suddenly took a step back unconsciously.The fingers that were hanging down instantly wanted to be raised in front of him. Sagittarius this month is hydrophilic, prone to accidents ★★★★ four points, academically maintain the previous momentum ★★★★ four points, interpersonal relationship ★★ two points. And love index ★★★★★. Full point. Four When Xia Zhengyi looked around the window this time, he finally found the lights in Shengxuan's house that had been turned on.He jumped down, opened the door and ran through.It's just that the person who answered the door startled the little boy: "..." "Oh, is that you?" Xia Shengxuan poked his head from behind Xie Zhe who was talking: "Zheng Yi? My neighbor." The latter sentence was addressed to Xie Zhe, and the other party responded "I know" and turned sideways to let this beautiful neighbor brother come in. "...Brother Shengxuan, what's the matter with you?" Seeing the half-wet shirt and the dripping uniform on the other side, the little boy was even more surprised. "Oh...something happened." "What's up?" "It's just an accident." "What accident?" Zheng Yi pursued curiously. "...the water pipe burst." Xie Zhe, who knew the whole story of the accident, let out a laugh, and Sheng Xuan glared at him. "Ah?..." As if feeling something from the reaction of the two, Zheng Yi asked again, "Really?" Not continuing this topic, Shengxuan walked into the bathroom, and a voice came from inside: "Is your mother not at home?" "Ok." "Then you have eaten?" "……not yet……" In fact, to put it bluntly, the reason why he waited so long to come back to Shengxuan was because he was hungry.Years of habit have made Zheng Yi completely abandon the idea of ​​finding a solution by himself.He once felt helpless, "Isn't this a little emperor?", but Shengxuan was more or less the culprit behind Zhengyi's habit. "I'm sorry, it's too late today, I'll warm up some food for you right away... Sneeze!" "Cold?" Xie Zhe asked. "No..." Rubbing his nose, after changing his clothes, Sheng Xuan rubbed his hair with a towel, "But please pour me a cup of hot water." Although the request was directed at Xie Zhe, Zheng Yi took the first step, walked to the cabinet and took down the glass.Xie Zhe looked at this boy who was two years younger than him, and laughed out loud: "Did Xia Shengxuan cook for you?" "...Not all of them." Not very willing to take the initiative to answer. "I want to eat too!" Turning to Shengxuan. "Who cares about you." The answer inside. Fives Xia Shengxuan's appearance in the kitchen with his sleeves rolled up obviously surprised Xie Zhe, who is a classmate, and even said seriously: "I really want to marry you." Shengxuan replied: "If you really have this intention, I also hope you use the phrase 'marry me as a wife'." The topic turned back to the topic after the joke. "Is your classmate okay? Pass me that plate." "Yeah." Xie Zhe said while responding to Shengxuan's request, "Actually, it's all that guy's own fault. He's been like that since before, and he got into the habit of running red lights. I said earlier that he can live with arms and legs. It's true. Hell. But this time it was really bad luck, a pickup truck didn't expect a man to come out and take him down..." Chapter 11: The Second Round (3) Shengxuan noticed the weakening of Xie Zhe's tone, and knew that although he didn't say anything, he was actually quite sad: "Is life in danger?" "I have already reported the critical illness notice... But fortunately, the truck driver is also responsible. His family is pursuing compensation. If the sentence can be passed, although it may not be able to save people, it is somewhat consoling..." "Oh... so..." Noticing the extra gaze from beside him, Sheng Xuan turned his head, "Are you hungry, just wait a minute longer." "No." Zheng Yi shook his head.After a pause for a few seconds, he turned his eyes on the faces of the two older boys, "Why?" "What why?... Sneeze." "Why is the driver responsible?" "Because he hit it." It was Xie Zhe who answered. "It was someone else who ran the red light." The person who spoke changed, and his tone became obviously rude, "What's wrong with the driver? He wouldn't want to hit someone, would he?" Sensing some strange emotions in the question, Sheng Xuan paused, "That's not the case." "Then he just said..." Zheng Yi cast his suspicious gaze on Xie Zhe's face again. "Although there is nothing wrong with running a red light, it is also stipulated in the law to recover part of the driver's responsibility." At the end of the sentence, the tone of "little brother, do you understand?" Xie Zhe lowered his head and explained to Zheng Yi. "You're just covering up your friends." The answer was unexpected. Xie Zhe stared at the boy who was one head shorter in front of him, and was about to step forward when Xia Shengxuan took the first step. He stood in front of Xie Zhe, looked at Zheng Yi, who was two years younger than him, and called his name: "You don't understand these things, Zheng Yi, legally—" But his words were interrupted. "It wasn't like this last time." "……what?" "Brother Shengxuan, don't you think that driver is very pitiful?" "Zheng Yi, don't mess around." Xia Zhengyi looked back at Shengxuan, with a hint of loss and confusion on his expression, "Why? You obviously didn't let anyone touch that cat last time." "Obviously your attitude was not like this last time." And a few days ago, Xia Shengxuan couldn't help laughing suddenly because he recalled Zheng Yi's old god's saying "Treat your relationship seriously" in class. So much so that when the girls at the next table looked at him in astonishment, they couldn't stop immediately.He could only turn his head while propping his face sideways with his hands, but still revealed the secret of his smile on the line of his jaw. Later, the girls secretly talked about the amazing harvest this time: "It's the first time I know that the monitor looks the best when he smiles." six The next evening, when Xie Zhe saw Xia Shengxuan, he threw the ball to his companion and ran in front of him. "I'm sorry for yesterday." "Ah?...It's not your fault," Sheng Xuan smiled helplessly, "It's you instead, don't take his words to heart." "Well..." After a while, "Actually, I also know that this kind of thing is not clear. If the driver is related to me, maybe now I should complain about the injustice of the law or curse the person who ran the red light. ...It's just...different positions, and ideas will change accordingly." "Don't think too much about it." Shengxuan advised him, "You feel sorry for your friend, there is nothing wrong with it, it would be the same for anyone else." "Thank you....Then you can comfort me." She suddenly changed her tone. "...What?" Sheng Xuan became vigilant. "I want to eat your cooking." "...I'll talk about it when I get better from the cold." Because he was worried that the impact of the cold on his sense of taste would make him unable to control the saltiness of the cooking, Sheng Xuan had retired from his post as a chef for the past two days. "Ah?" Xie Zhe slapped his head, "Oh! I almost forgot the story about your love for holy water!" In fact, Shengxuan regretted that he couldn't stand Xie Zhe's entanglement when he visited that day and revealed the reason for his wet body.According to Xie Zhe's personality, this kind of "gossip" will be used as a joke by him for a long time.It's like noon today. The female class committee of the next class found Xie Zhe.Sheng Xuan was holding his nose and happened to sneezed as he passed by the two of them. "Do you have a cold?" The girl turned to him with concern. "Ah... not bad..." "Pay more attention to your body, it's time for the season change recently." "Hmm." She nodded politely. "It's just the turmoil before falling in love." Hearing this kind of words, he was used to being indifferent, Shengxuan looked at Xie Zhe at the side: "Oh, is that so, what you got is this pulse?" "Of course! How can there be stories about throwing a pot of water by mistake now! Do you think it's those romantic novels that are so bad that no one reads them?! You will only be laughed at if you use such stories to bluff people!" Chapter 12: The Second Round (4) "Then you porn lover, please rewrite a new ending where you have sex in two turns." "Thank you for your trust. But don't change the subject." Xie Zhe approached with a smile, "It's really not that simple, judging from what I heard from you. I must have even found out the girl's name Oh?" Then he ignored Sheng Xuan's fierce gaze and laughed out loud. seven Meeting again is more "shocking" than imagined. The girl's expression also changed from a simple apology at the beginning to a real embarrassment and nervousness after seeing Shengxuan clearly.There was even an awkward silence between the two for a short period of time, until Sheng Xuan couldn't bear the sticky and tight-fitting clothes all over his body, so he raised his left hand and waved it. "I go first." "...Eh, um..." The girl took a step back.After Shengxuan walked a few meters away, he suddenly stopped, "That!" "Huh?" Sheng Xuan stopped and turned around. "……that……" "what?" "...that... I mean..." Sheng Xuan watched her hesitate to speak, and the question that had been in his mind for a long time suddenly resurfaced: "Can you tell me your name?" "Huh? Me, my name is Jing Ye." "Well, hello." The boy smiled lightly and replied, "Xia Shengxuan." "……Ah hello……" "Let's get to know each other from here first." He said at the end. So a few days later, friends were amazed and ridiculed, "Your charm is still the same after being soaked in water", Shengxuan thought to himself, fortunately, he only told you the follow-up, and you didn't know that there was a preface to this matter.But he stared at Xie Zhe's excited eyes, and the idea of ​​keeping silent was suddenly extinguished in a mischievous thought. Xia Shengxuan put on the usual cold and calm tone: "Yeah, actually, I have hugged her (on the tram) before (without knowing each other) (for half an hour)." The female class committee member of the next class quickly covered her mouth, but still let out an exclamation of "Yeah".But what satisfied Shengxuan the most was Xie Zhe's sudden change of expression. It almost made him laugh. Eight When entering the first week of October, Zhengyi often stepped into Xia Shengxuan's house sweating profusely.This season obviously has little to do with "steaming", which Zheng Yi interpreted as "playing basketball".After eating, he finally explained "since they entrusted me" with a trace of deliberate disdain. That's pretty much it.The homeroom teacher who chose basketball as the match against the neighboring class did not know that there were far fewer people in his class who were keen on it than expected.And the sports committee member is one of the few boys who can talk about "friendship" with Zheng Yi in the class.Even though Zheng Yi has always been lukewarm about this friendship, and has no intention of actively "operating" or "maintaining", the boy didn't care, and still pulled him with a smile: "Hey, Xia Zhengyi, why don't you come to the competition too." "But I don't know how to fight." Zheng Yi fell asleep on the table. "Hey, come and participate, it's not serious, just treat it as a game." Make the other party show perseverance, "It doesn't matter if you win or lose." In the end, Zheng Yi couldn't resist, so he nodded casually and agreed: "Then just have fun." It was just a rash nod at the beginning, but when I really practiced, I was more involved than I expected.Zheng Yi bought a basketball, and every day after school he ran and jumped alone in the abandoned factory behind his home.A person who can't play well does not hinder his interest.It's just that no one has corrected the mistakes in the movements, so every time I repeat the practice, I just repeat the mistakes. Shengxuan did not come forward to help give advice as usual. Although Xia Shengxuan may be the most suitable teacher Zhengyi could find, when Zhengyi dragged Shengxuan to practice for the first time, it was not until the night was completely dark that the basketball hoop could not be seen, Zhengyi thought of saying, "Then let's go back." ".It was also from Mr. Xia's inadvertent words to Xia Shengxuan the next day that he heard "Are you late today?" In a word, Zheng Yi, who was sitting next to him, suddenly raised his head. Sheng Xuan, who didn't notice his reaction, was still busy in the kitchen, and said a few words to Mr. Xia by the way.Just occasionally rubbing the acupuncture points at the corners of the eyes is obviously a sign of fatigue. During the basketball practice after that day, Zheng Yi never looked for Sheng Xuan again. ——High school studies, class committee work, all kinds of housework...Xia Shengxuan is not just a Xia Shengxuan who only appears as a "basketball partner". Zheng Yi thought, forget it. Chapter 13: The Second Round (5) Basketball starts in two weeks. It's like Zheng Yi's casual promise at the beginning, but he became serious later.Even the head teacher had expressed the nature of "just a friendly match" before, but when it really started, the atmosphere of the two classes was by no means as harmonious as "friendship".Zheng Yi heard the girls in his own class and the girls in the opposing class yell slogans that sounded like arguing.One said "must win" and the other said "undefeated".It's just kids bickering. How should I say it? The final whistle sounded, and the score stopped at a "31 to 30" that turned from suspense to regret.The crucial last ball still fell into the basket without seizing the opportunity. It bounced off the backboard and flew far away, and the player who had been expected to turn the situation around had a beautiful face with light hair The handsome boy just stooped silently to tie his shoelaces, and then walked off the stage with others. Drenched in sweat even to the roots of his hair, Zheng Yi shivered when the wind blew up. And at that time, the hand suddenly pushed from behind made him almost stagger and fall. The boy stood down and looked around. Wondering who it is. But the problem is that many of the eyes that look at him do not contain enough kindness. No one comforted him with their eyes and said "it doesn't matter".Although he saw a team member walk towards the frustrated sports committee member and say "it's okay", but then he looked back at Zheng Yi with absolute complaint. If everyone is working hard, they are all doing their best. Then, as the last person who failed, even if he worked hard and tried his best, he couldn't get the same relief and relief. Xia Zhengyi gradually fell to the end of the line until he heard a voice passing by whisper, "What, if it wasn't for him not making the shot at the end". It eventually developed into a fight after a lost set. I don't know whether I am entangled with two people or three people.Most of the strength lost just now made it impossible for Zheng Yi to retreat completely.He just stretched out his hand and punched it at any place, and at almost the same moment, he felt the pain of being hit in that place blooming like a flower. Any mistake by any one person will be the cause of failure. But unfortunately, people only remember you at the end. Nine Sheng Xuan looked around in front of the neighbor's house suspiciously, and then looked around for a while.Make sure that no one is leaving the house or outside.According to theory, today was the day when Zheng Yi's mother was on a business trip, but Zheng Yi did not come back after eight o'clock.There was a little worry in his heart, and then he laughed at himself for worrying too much, Shengxuan went back to his house and closed the door. It was like counting "one, two, three" from the moment the door closed, and when the number stopped at "five", a figure slowly stood up from behind the light box in front of the building.The orange light in the advertising light box was found on Zheng Yi's face, his lips were biting, and the contour of his jaw was tensed, but it was hard to see what kind of expression it was. He hides because he doesn't want people to see him. Quietly looking at the lights in Shengxuan's house, and occasionally a silhouette of Shengxuan or his father flashed inside, Zhengyi dragged his legs and walked towards his home step by step. There is a tragic wound on the calf, which is the flesh scratched by being pulled and knocked against the edge of the steps during the fight. In my impression, the last time I cried was after I definitely understood the true meaning of "father leaving home".When I was seven years old, I cried and made a fuss to my mother.Afterwards, although there were many times the urge to cry, especially after having more "brothers" like Xia Shengxuan, the place to rely on became exponentially increased, but Zheng Yi also knew that since he was a boy, he should be with him. Keep something as effeminate as tears at a fair distance. But this time, because he was afraid that turning on the lights at home might make others realize that he had returned, Zheng Yi searched for the medicine box at home in the dark, found the medicine bottles one by one, and put them under the light of the street lamp outside the window until he was sure of the medicine in his hand. It's disinfectant alcohol. Like the way Shengxuan used to treat broken or similar wounds for himself, he dipped cotton in alcohol and poured it on the wounds. It's just that when it touched the raised flesh and blood, it almost exploded in pain. The wound that was about to expose the bone was almost numb before, but it didn't hurt like this under the influence of alcohol. The boy had to lower his head and take a long breath. Then, when he dipped the cotton in alcohol again and put it on his lap, Zheng Yi heard a cry that he hadn't seen for a long time. He hid in a dark corner, whimpering in a low voice. Weeping intermittently, shouting vaguely: "Dad..." ten The overall atmosphere of the school that entered the winter seemed to be lifeless. In order to awaken the "youthful vitality" of some students, and it was the XX anniversary of the establishment of the school, Xia Shengxuan's school decided to hold a school-wide celebration and entertainment.According to the principal, "Since January is about to enter the exam week, let's give everyone a last chance to be high." Chapter 14: The Second Round (6) "...He's 'high'! He's still 'high'!" Xie Zhe patted the book in his hand, "Is that old guy taking drugs? Does he have the demeanor of a principal? Why do I look at him like an old man? Sagittarius? Ah, is he responsible for most of the girls in our school? Is it his conspiracy?" "Which key high school doesn't have a lot of girls." Shengxuan nodded to the plan in his hand, "Don't be wordy, there are enough things." "Although I don't want to go to class, I can't wait to be obsessed for a month, but why do I have to push all the affairs to the class committee! Where is the director of academic affairs? (Sheng Xuan interjected: "She will be in charge of the city's unified examination for the third year of senior high school.") Where is the director of general affairs? ( Shengxuan added: "He has been out of town for a week)...shameless!What about the student council president? " "It was the president who said 'Let's leave it to the class committees to do it'." "...Indecent! Corrupt! Lack of mobility! Cruel child labor!" "Without a child laborer like you, we haven't decided what activities our class will have." "We can run a bunny club." "Why don't you come out and do a belly dance." "As long as you stay with me, it's OK." "What am I doing with you? Do I cut your belly for you at the end of your dance." "Oh, how about this, you call your neighbor's brother and come out together to act in a brotherly scene of 'we are born of the same root, why are we too anxious'. It must be 'big', 'popular' and 'welcome' .” Sheng Xuan directly kicked the boy's calf bone.Then, no longer bothering to answer the other party's yelling, he pulled the stool and walked out of the classroom. But in the end, at the instigation of Xie Zhe, almost the whole class, including all the teachers (even the adjacent class had students), unanimously demanded "Let's invite Squad Leader Xia and his younger brother to act together!".Although Shengxuan dismissed him with a completely negative look at the first few times, even the class teacher and even the principal patted his shoulder and smiled "full of expectation". Shengxuan knew that he had a friend like Xie Zhe. What an unbearable loss in life. When he walked out of the supermarket at night, Shengxuan was still recalling how the whole unimaginable thing took shape in the end, and couldn't help heaving a long sigh.until he stopped in one place.The boy looked up.The empty outdoor corridor cuts the sky in pieces.And just as he was about to turn his gaze back, a door opened by the side of the stairs. Shengxuan looked at the girl who walked out the door, and after a while greeted her with a smile: "Okay, Jing Ye." eleven The way you treat girls. If your good friend Xie Zhe started with the expression and exaggerated provocative tone that Sheng Xuan called "rogue laugh", Sheng Xuan always faced the other party with a quiet temperament, and would also smile, but the smile was in front of him. The handsome face makes people not feel that it is a smile, it seems that it is just a certain change in the facial features, but it makes people even more unable to turn their eyes away (that is, the "cowboy smile" that Xie Zhe joked to Sheng Xuan at the risk of his life ). However, Xia Shengxuan is still a boy who rarely shows his emotions in front of outsiders.Although he was smiling from beginning to end this time, until the girl walked in front of him, he still didn't stop: "Long time no see." "Ah..." Jing Ye stared at his toes, and realized when his eyes touched the plastic belt in the boy's hand, "Come out from the supermarket?" "Ah you are?" "I ran out of seasoning at home, so my mother asked me to buy salt and vinegar." Sheng Xuan smiled at her, took a step forward, and said, "See you later." "Ah good……" But at the moment when Sheng Xuan turned around, his arm was suddenly held by the girl, and then even faster, he felt Jing Ye clinging to his side, and at the same time, he walked forward as if he wanted to drag him. "...What's the matter?..." Almost overlapping with the previous memory on the tram, Sheng Xuan wanted to ask in surprise. "...Don't look behind." The voice was tense, and he could hear a little nervousness, "Just walk for a while." "What happened?" Just reflexively wanted to look back. "please……" Sheng Xuan stopped speaking. "Is someone following you?" "……Ok……" "But, how could it be?" Sheng Xuan, who seemed to be out of the danger zone, was surprised that such words could be related to the ordinary girl in front of him. "About... ten days ago, I happened to meet someone stealing a wallet on the tram, so I rushed up and grabbed that guy." Surprise and admiration intertwined in Shengxuan's gaze: "I have been following you until now?" I feel that this is really a thief who is easy to hold grudges. "Because that person is not a professional pickpocket, he lived near my house before, and moved after he was fired two months ago, but he didn't expect to meet in that situation, and..." Jing Ye raised his eyes and looked Looking at Sheng Xuan, "I even slapped him in the car." Chapter 15: The Second Round (7) No wonder.Sheng Xuan thought. "Have you told your parents about this kind of thing?" If you call the police, there is nothing the police can do without solid evidence. "Not yet, they'll be worried." "However," recalling last month when Jing Ye yelled to splash water on those who posted small advertisements indiscriminately, although the results were biased, but having said that - Xia Shengxuan raised his eyebrows and said gently: "You are a very brave person .” twelve After dinner, Shengxuan hesitated for a long time, but went to knock on the door of Zhengyi's house.Zheng Yi's mother, who answered the door, saw him and immediately smiled and beckoned him to come in and sit down.Zheng Yi who was in the room also ran out when he heard Sheng Xuan's voice, and turned around and asked, "Mom, what did you want to say to me just now?" Hot drink?" Sheng Xuan waved his hand politely to the question turned towards him: "No, water is fine." After entering the room, I saw the TV turned on: "What is it?" "Oh? The newly bought animation." Seeing Shengxuan standing still, Zheng Yi, who had already sat back on the floor, also stood up, "Is there something wrong?" "Well...well, there was an event at our school, and I thought, no, they said..." The school event has already attracted a lively atmosphere as the preparations are in the final stage.The most eye-catching event, the one with the most girls onlookers, and it is said that the poster was secretly torn off was the "'Brother' Severs Coffee" launched by the first graders.In addition to stating that the performers are "Xia Shengxuan" and "Special Guest Xia Zhengyi", the rest is the CAST list headed by "Planner: Xie Zhe". I don't know where (maybe it's from a game or a comic), it looks like an improved military uniform, but it fits perfectly after being specially cut.Add girdles and high boots and a gorgeous neck accessory that will make girls linger.Shengxuan's first impression after seeing the two sets of costumes was "COSPLAY", and there was a parenthesis (no!).However, the overly warm gazes of the girls had made him lose his usual confident coolness, and he was forced to accept this humiliating fact. On the day of the event. After leading Zheng Yi to change his clothes, and helping him adjust the decorative feathers on his chest, Shengxuan went to the backstage and looked at Xie Zhe: "... just wear it like this? Why do I always feel weird?" "Well, there was a small mistake." "Ah, where?" Sheng Xuan looked down. "Tighten your belt tighter." "...Can I take them off now?" The boy pointed at the girls who were almost boiling around, and smiled triumphantly: "What do you think?" Thirteen Multiplying "big success" by "two" can sum up the grand occasion Xia Shengxuan and Xia Zhengyi brought to this school celebration.In the end, Shengxuan even had to hide in the men's bathroom with Zhengyi to escape the wave of followers. "...I'm really sorry." He straightened Zheng Yi's messy hair just now. "It's okay, it's fun." Sheng Xuan laughed: "Then why don't you go out for a walk now?" "...I don't want it anymore." Afterwards, Zheng Yi took off the shapeless accessories on his chest and said, "It would be great if I could also enter here in high school." Sheng Xuan looked at him. The boy continued: "I think life here is very happy." Regarding the envious tone in the sentence, Shengxuan couldn't help showing an expression of disbelief. Maybe Zhengyi didn't understand the situation that the homework assigned every day in this school was jokingly said that he had to be dragged home by horse, but he would have such thoughts Did it mean something else.He asked, "Are you unhappy in your current school?" Zheng Yi didn't respond, and lowered his head to fiddle with the accessories in his hand. 圣轩刚要继续，听见门外有个男声嚷嚷着“干嘛都堵在这里啊，让一下我要进去上厕所！”，以及随后很快有女生回喊到“先给我憋着！” 这一次，夏圣轩和夏政颐同时忍不住笑了起来。 在车站遇见井夜时圣轩正和谢哲一起。不由心里哀叹谢哲真是八卦星再世偏偏让他碰见。他为两人作了介绍。说到“新朋友，井夜”时，谢哲立刻挑起眉毛“新朋友？” “对。”不愿继续纠缠这些，他看向女生，“你是坐这里的电车么？” “偶尔，有时去奶奶家才会搭乘这里的。”指指一边的站台车牌。 话题不知怎么转到前几天刚刚结束的校庆上，不顾圣轩神色中的抵触，谢哲满足在自己“造星运动”的功绩里，他探出头对女生说着“你该来看看哦，这家伙穿军装帅得就差赶上我了。” 第16节：第二回(8) 圣轩瞪着好友，可另一边递来好奇而期待的目光使他不得不又转向井夜：“别听他瞎说。就是个活动。” "what is it call?" “兄弟之爱——”谢哲插嘴的余音被圣轩的猛击截断了。 “兄弟？”女生很惊奇，“是吗？” “……我邻居家有个小两岁的弟弟。并不是真正的兄弟。” “如果是真正的兄弟那我还得给你父母的遗传基因磕三个头了，能生出这种'赶尽杀绝'的龙虎档。”谢哲摸着后脑。 “所以你尽可以抓紧这最后两年的机会浪里白条，免得等政颐两年后彻底长大了把你这种漏网之鱼逼上绝路。” “啊？……难道我们的时间只剩下两年啦？” “是啊，在漫画里都足够生孩子了。” “……你生啊？” “……生你咧。” 井夜在一边哈哈笑起来时，圣轩才意识到，他有些尴尬地低下头：“……都是开玩笑。” “我知道。”女生转了转眼睛，“不过还是很想看看的。会是怎样的兄弟啊。” 夏圣轩简单应了句“挺可爱的”。他靠向栏杆，然后露出微微的笑意。 fourteen 政颐回想起那一天。在圣轩的学校里，热情到过度的女生们为自己送来毛巾、茶水，然后圣轩带他进更衣室，扣子太复杂了让圣轩也折腾了很久，最后在额头热出点汗。不过他对政颐说“虽然我不想让外面那些家伙得意，可你穿着确实非常不错”。 带着自己走在校园里的圣轩总是得不断地停下来应付各种人的招呼。 政颐站在一旁看向圣轩的侧脸。虽然是一眼即明的冷淡和抵触，可它们又在随后转换成温暖的无奈。 带着淡淡温暖而无奈神情的夏圣轩，在那个瞬间曾经让政颐非常非常地羡慕，并钦佩着。 哥哥也是外表显眼的人。 他成绩优秀。 对待外人只是冷淡的客套，可没有人因此记恨他。 Why is that. 政颐跟在圣轩身边，靠近他的左半侧身体感受到来自圣轩的热度，右半侧则在阳光的照耀下，连制服袖口都微微发暖。铜质扣子亮得晃眼。 那是一条非常完美而温暖的道路。 12月10日。 刻意去超市找了点东西买，圣轩又经过井夜家楼下。不过他并没有看见女生。也没有发现注意有什么鬼鬼祟祟的跟踪者。 “……应该没事吧？”主语省略了“她”。 到家后看见父亲也刚回来正在开门，圣轩走上去：“今天没有加班？” 夏先生说：“是怕我儿子寂寞。” 圣轩在身后阖上房门时瞥见政颐的妈妈也正走近过来。 男生心想：“那晚上不用喊他来吃饭了吧。”指的是政颐。 fifteen 12月11日这一天。 尽管已经说过不用刻意地庆祝生日，可是夏先生还是怂恿着圣轩晚餐准备丰盛点。忍不住挖苦“过生日的是你么？”但显然圣轩的父亲很是陶醉于自己孩子的手艺，依然笑着说“我准备礼物给你就好了啊”。这话倒让圣轩想起来上次生日时收到的礼物是一条“给未来儿媳妇的裙子”，不由在心里狠狠地哆嗦了一下： “难道这次你要送我未来儿子的纸尿裤么？” “不要对你父亲说这种玩笑。” “……别突然扮正经。” 晚上家里的抽油烟机不知道怎么出了问题，“卡卡卡”转着像是患了严重哮喘。圣轩正翻出说明书对照着找症结，夏先生走到厨房门口。 “爸，你把电源先拔一下，我要拆开看看。” “圣轩啊。” "what." “爸爸打算结婚了。” “哦。这次是想和谁？”对于已经丧妻多年的父亲类似的话，圣轩以前也不是没听说过，从很小时候起的气愤到后来的习惯，偶尔也会指着电视上父亲看中的“对象”说“可你不觉得她胸部不够标准么”。 “昨天已经去领了证。” 圣轩停下手，困惑地望着并没有玩笑口吻的父亲：“什么……是，是和谁？” “……你听了后不要……” 第17节：第二回(9) 可是夏先生的话被外面传来的一声杂音打断，圣轩听见熟悉的男声尖尖地拉长了声音以至于有些颤抖地喊着。 他飞跑去打开了门。 雪水已融化的地面上散落了零碎的文具，政颐的笔盒被扔在很远的地方。还有从书包里甩出的书本，软塌塌地卧在地上。而浑身发抖的男孩，当手里能够用以发泄的东西全部被摔完后，此刻的政颐像抓着最后的守盾那样紧紧捏着书包握柄。直到他看见圣轩走出来。 视线在碰到从圣轩身后站出来的夏先生时一下变得尖利狠毒。 被眼前的各种状况打乱了思路的夏圣轩在注意政颐母亲一脸无措痛苦地喊着“政颐你不要这样”时，他明白了过来。圣轩惊愕地转向父亲。 “……你是说……你结婚是要和……” 突然冲到面前的政颐被夏圣轩反射性地架开。对方激烈的挣脱力气，让圣轩踉跄着跌跌撞撞了几步，直到把政颐一起带着摔倒。 撑到冰凉的阴湿的地面。 12月12日是夏圣轩的生日，也就是说在12月12日之前他还十六岁的少年。 小他两岁的夏政颐的生日在11月5日，此刻他已经是十五岁了。 换言之，从11月5日到12月11日这一个多月期间，是一年里夏政颐唯一一段和夏圣轩距离缩减到“一岁”的时光。 12月11日，那段时光的最后一天里，夏政颐甩开了圣轩的手，他站起来对着自己的母亲和圣轩的父亲说：“绝对不要指望我会原谅你们。” sixteen 在夏圣轩进入十七岁，和夏政颐的差距又拉到两岁时，他们变成了真正意义上的“兄弟”。
