Jin Linkun held the handful of candies and looked up at him.
The room fell silent.
Yu Sheng couldn’t help frowning, before he was about to send him home, Jin Linkun hastily found a place to put down the candy, walked a few steps back, and raised his hand again to wrap him in his arms.
The warm body temperature suddenly covered the whole body, Yu Sheng raised his hand to support him: “What’s wrong?”
“I can’t bear to leave.”
Jin Linkun lowered his head, not in a good mood: “My boyfriend is alone, I’m afraid he’s afraid of the dark.”
“…”
Yu Sheng felt that he might have experienced the feeling of Jin Linkun’s parents packing up their luggage and rushing him out: “Wake up, my house has lights.”
He didn’t want Jin Linkun to misunderstand, so he opened his mouth, ready to explain, if something happened, he could stay at home for a few more days.
Without waiting for him to speak, Jin Linkun unwrapped his arms and took out a candy from his hand, peeled open the wrapper and put it next to Yu Sheng’s mouth.
Yu Sheng frowned: “It’s for you.”
“I know.” Jin Linkun still had one arm wrapped around his back, patted him on the back lightly, “Time is tight and tasks are heavy, so help me share some of it.”
Yu Sheng blinked his eyes and opened his mouth to speak.
Before he could react, Jin Linkun had already stuffed the candy into his mouth, curled his fingers, and lightly pressed his knuckles on his lips: “Stamped on it.”
Ready to be beaten out of the door, Jin Linkun quickly withdrew his hands with excellent conditioned reflexes, and dodged sideways, only to realise that Yu Sheng hadn’t moved at all.
The boy stood there in a daze, his eyes widened a bit.
The boy who seemed to have a bad temper was actually very well-behaved, he sucked on the candy, and his cheeks bulged up a little.
Jin Linkun’s heart softened so much, he stroked his hair, but still couldn’t hold back, he lowered his head and said softly, “Yu Sheng, close your eyes.”
His tone was different from usual, Yu Sheng frowned slightly, did not speak, and closed his eyes as he requested.
The world in front of him fell into warm darkness, and the extremely warm and soft touch fell down, lightly falling on his forehead.
Yu Sheng’s chest suddenly throbbed.
He instinctively wanted to hide, he felt that Jin Linkun had used a lot of strength, he couldn’t even break away from his arms which were tightly wrapped around him.
Jin Linkun pressed against his forehead, put one hand on the cool back of the young neck, and slowly comforted him: “It’s okay, it’s okay…”
Yu Sheng’s heartbeat was so fast that he was a little worried. Jin Linkun let go of his arm and stepped back slightly, but his forearm was suddenly grabbed.
Jin Linkun lowered his head and said softly, “I won’t leave, Yu Sheng—”
Yu Sheng didn’t listen to him, his lips were almost bloodless, his Adam’s apple moved up and down and moved closer.
Jin Linkun forgot what he wanted to say, and was a little dazed, looking at his little kid who was really willing to learn everything.
This little kid of his was a little shorter than him, he tried to tiptoe to reach him, and couldn’t hold back his temper: “Come down.”
“…”
Jin Linkun was provoked by the verb “come down” and coughed twice, opened his mouth, wisely did not smile, and lowered his head cooperatively.
A little rush of breath brushed against his face, his heart beat through his chest, and pounded against the other party’s chest.
Yu Sheng looked a little too nervous, but he still learned the basic movements well. He held Jin Linkun’s arm tightly, pursed his lips, and leaned forward carefully.
Jin Linkun was very cooperative, his shoulders and back were all tilted, and his forehead was lightly pressed on Yu Sheng’s lips.
It’s cool and a little dry.
It seems that he was too lazy to drink water if he hadn’t been coaxed recently.
Jin Linkun closed his eyes lightly, and his heart suddenly beat fast.
He instinctively circled the person in front of his chest, and it took him a while to find his own voice, and breathed out in a low voice: “It’s a shame…”
Yu Sheng has never been so nervous since he was so old, and he didn’t have time to feel anything. He heard him speak as soon as he landed, and couldn’t help frowning: “What shame?”
Jin Linkun was very disappointed: “We should kiss in another place.”
___
Jin Linkun, who was thrown back to the sofa, touched the tip of his nose and said, “My friend, I’m talking about kissing on the face.”
“I think so too.” Yu Sheng asked him, “Otherwise?”
“…”
Jin Linkun changed the topic, half-coaxed and half-persuaded Yu Sheng to take a bath, and took the initiative to clean up the house.
They haven’t come back for another half a month, and the house is somewhat dusty, but there is not much to clean up.
Jin Linkun stayed until night, and procrastinated in Yu Sheng’s house for a long time before he was finally thrown out the door.
There are people waiting at home, no matter what, he should go back.
Yu Sheng threw someone out, recalling the situation described by Jin Linkun, and taught him not to be annoying when he went home again.
Jin Linkun tried to explain himself, but Yu Sheng simply shoved him into the elevator.
There were fewer people in the living room, and it became quiet again.
Yu Sheng leaned on the sofa and played with his mobile phone for a while, then got up and took the two large suitcases left by Jin Linkun, and went into the bedroom.
Most of the clothes in the box were shirts. Yu Sheng picked out the ones that he was afraid of wrinkling and hung them up. He also took out the books and stacked them on the desk.
Don’t know where this guy got so many things.
It was only cleaned up halfway, and the bedroom, which was quite spacious at first, was suddenly overcrowded. Yu Sheng was holding a black shirt and was impatiently shoving it into the closet when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
___
The room, which was obviously so empty that one couldn’t lie down, seemed to be filled up suddenly.
The existence and aura belonging to another person who squeezed in very comfortably, filling every corner around him.
Before he even had time to realise it, his life was completely different from before.
Yu Sheng took the shirt and hung it on the railing in the closet. Before he could figure out what was going on, the hook of the hanger touched something small.
It was not stable when it was placed on the railing, but when it was touched, it fell down with a thud.
A candy.
A candy he probably gave Jin Linkun actually dropped here.
Maybe it was left behind when the other party was cleaning up the room. Yu Sheng picked it up and looked at it, hung up the dress shirt, and fell on his back on the bed.
He obviously didn’t feel any changes in himself, but somehow he started to get used to drinking jujube water, getting used to eating on time, and getting used to brushing his hair after taking a shower.
He was used to taking a book to write two pages of questions and memorise a few key points whenever he had time.
Yu Sheng clenched his empty hand twice, turned over on his back, and shook it lightly.
There was obviously no one else in the room, but with so many things belonging to another person stuffed in, it wasn’t empty at all.
Yu Sheng closed his eyes for a while, he held the candy in his palm for a while, tore off the wrapping paper, and put it in his mouth.
He really didn’t like candy, so he bit the candy into pieces and swallowed the powdered sugar.
……What a shame.
He doesn’t know if the other party’s scent is too soothing, Yu Sheng lay down for a while, and actually fell asleep.
He even had a dream.
In the dream, Jin Linkun ate all the candy in one day, his toothache was so bad that he couldn’t speak, his face was swollen into a steamed bun, and he came back and asked him to take responsibility.
___
When Yu Sheng opened his eyes, he stared at the ceiling and carefully recalled for a while whether he woke up from fright or gloating.
He didn’t know if Jin Linkun ate all the candies or not. He just ate one, and his mouth was still full of the sweet taste.
The lights inside and outside the bedroom were on, Yu Sheng sat up with his arms propped up, rubbed his forehead, and planned to find some water to drink.
Walking past the desk, he picked up another candy.
It was on the swivel chair seat under the table, chocolate candy, black and brown packaging, you can’t find it unless you look carefully.
Yu Sheng picked it up, put it in his pocket, and searched around the house, only to find two cans of beer.
There was even an empty bottle left from the meal the two of them had in the afternoon, which was artistically cut by Jin Linkun into an irregularly shaped base, and a head of garlic was put in it, and most of the water was poured very carefully.
Standing on the edge of the window sill, Yu Sheng carefully looked at the unpeeled and uncut garlic, thinking that Jin Linkun might want to raise a pot of garlic sprouts for him.
___
Considering that this pot of garlic seedlings probably showcased Jin Linkun’s full display of hands-on ability and artistic talent to the extreme, Yu Sheng couldn’t bear to disappoint his kindness, temporarily put aside the matter of finding water to drink, stood by the window, and helped him peel the garlic.
After searching around, he didn’t find any drinkable water, but he found a dozen or so candies dropped in various inconspicuous corners.
Yu Sheng was about to give up searching, when he boiled some water to dry to drink, he accidentally found Jin Linkun’s thermos.
It is not too accurate to say that it is Jin Linkun’s – he does drink from this thermos, but really is only willing to take a few sips when he is extremely thirsty, and most of the time he is addicted to a wide range of different brands of children’s drinks.
Yu Sheng picked up the thermos cup and was going to help him rinse it to dry, but found that the cup was still full.
As soon as it is unscrewed, the familiar sweet fragrance comes out first, and crooked red dates float on the water, with red wolfberries mixed in the middle.
The water is still warm, and it looks like it has just been soaked for a long time.
Yu Sheng stood holding the cup for a while, raised his head and took a few sips of water.
The phone has been ringing non-stop since just now, he took it out, turned on the screen and rubbed his eyes twice.
Jin Linkun has already arrived home, and sent two messages to report his safety. Tomorrow is the time set by No. 3 High School for going back to school. On the last carnival night, Duan Lei and the others are busy making an appointment, planning to go to the Internet cafe to have a good game after returning to school.
Yu Sheng hadn’t been interested in a quick game recently, so he cruelly rejected Duan Lei’s sincere invitation, replied to a few messages, and returned to the bedroom with a thermos.
The two suitcases hadn’t been packed yet, and Yu Sheng planned to continue tidying up, Duan Lei’s video request was sent first.
Yu Sheng squatted next to the suitcase, clicked on the video, and placed the phone against the edge of the bed.
“Sheng-ge! Haven’t you come back yet?”
Duan Lei was intimidated by a bully at the beginning of school, and basically ditched Yu Sheng in that horrible summer camp, he still feels ashamed now.
Especially after Yu Sheng asked him how to cheer up his teammates last time, they basically lost contact, and then Yu Sheng started posting all weird kinds of things to his circles of friends.
For example, a [smile.jpg] with a bowl of porridge.
Or three [smile.jpg] and a book of physics questions that they can’t even understand,
Another example is a row of [smile.jpg], and a picture of a sky blue children’s piano educational toy.
Duan Lei was puzzled, and could only suspect the root of the problem at the summer camp: “What did they do to you? Did they force you to take brain-boosting supplements? Did they hypnotise you to make you love learning? Is there someone watching it? As long as you run away, you will be caught?”
“…” Yu Sheng couldn’t help but wonder what this matter had become in the head of this group of people: “No, it’s pretty good.”
While packing his things, he chatted with Duan Lei, threw Jin Linkun’s pile of finished competition questions into the empty suitcase, and picked up a few candies.
___
I don’t know if there is a hole in the pocket of this person’s clothes.
Yu Sheng was basically able to estimate Jin Linkun’s course of action from the place where the candy fell. He dug out a few candies hidden in the suitcase and threw them together into the cardboard box he just found.
Most of them were chocolate, so Yu Sheng took one out casually, tore off the wrapping paper and put it in his mouth.
This kind of chocolate candy is soft and a bit bitter, and it is the only taste that Yu Sheng thinks is not bad.
Duan Lei widened his eyes, watched Yu Sheng put candy into his mouth without changing his face, and asked hesitantly: “Sheng-ge, what are you eating—is it candy?”
Yu Sheng has never had much patience for eating this kind of food, he looked up while chewing: “Otherwise?”
“Maybe it… improves memory or concentration?” Duan Lei was suspicious, “Or hallucinogens? It’s used to convince you that learning loves me and I love learning.”
Yu Sheng was amazed at his imagination: “Yes, do you want me to bring you two yuan?”
“No need!”
Duan Lei immediately declined: “I don’t want to memorise it anymore. To tell you the truth, Sheng-ge, I have been forced to memorise the entire book this month, and now I feel that my head is not mine…”
No. 3 High School started early to make up classes. Because Yu Sheng went to the summer camp and the quota of 300 people remained, Duan Lei, as the 301st lucky winner, also experienced the friction of knowledge.
It was not easy to get to the beginning of the school year, and everyone who was tortured by the make-up lessons was extremely happy.
“What’s there to be happy about?” The 302nd person went to the dormitory to play games on Yu Sheng’s computer, and couldn’t help but ask Duan Lei, who was beaming because school was about to start, “We’re starting school, don’t you all want to start school too?”
Duan Lei was immersed in joy and couldn’t extricate himself, and he waved his hands happily: “You don’t understand. When I was in pain, I finally saw other people coming to share the pain with me. There is no way to suppress this kind of happiness.”
The third year of high school, which started early, was full of tension, and learning became the top priority above all else.
Duan Lei couldn’t help complaining to him, and was attracted by the thermos in Yu Sheng’s hand: “Sheng-ge, what… are you drinking?”
“This?” Yu Sheng glanced at the thermos, “Red dates and wolfberries.”
“…”
Duan Lei swallowed his saliva: “Soaked in…soaked in beer?”
___
After killing the conversation 3 times, Duan Lei decided to find some other topics to talk about.
They all knew that Yu Sheng didn’t sleep well. Although the boys dreaming of freedom can’t understand why it’s not a happy thing to have money and no one to care about him at home, but as long as Yu Sheng suffers from insomnia, they will still either play games with him or chat with him. Find something to do to pass the time.
“Sheng-ge, are you unable to sleep again?”
Duan Lei just saw that he rejected the proposal to go to the Internet cafe, so he rolled up his sleeves, “Where do you want to go? Tell me, brothers and sisters will go with you.”
Yu Sheng raised his eyebrows: “Have you finished your homework?”
“……Roughly.”
Duan Lei was a little guilty, and waved his hand: “Isn’t this a make-up class? Anyway, I can’t go anywhere for the self-study class, and I have finished writing everything I know.”
Just that the things he didn’t know seems a little too much.
According to the number of questions that are currently vacant, he probably has to go early tomorrow morning to find a few students in the class who have studied well and copy their homework.
“Let’s talk about it later, how uncomfortable it is not to be able to sleep.”
Duan Lei is very righteous: “I can’t keep you alone, Sheng-ge, just say what you need us to do!”
Just as Yu Sheng took out two more big white rabbit candies from under the mattress, he listened to his words and looked at the half box of candies that had already been eaten.
The phone turned on, and two messages from Jin Linkun popped up.
Once upon a time there was a mountain: Did you fall asleep already?
Once upon a time there was a mountain: Friend, you may not believe it, but there seems to be a hole in my pocket…
Yu Sheng couldn’t help but curl the corner of his mouth.
Don’t know what kind of hole it was to have candy dropped under his bed.
Duan Lei looked at the smile in his eyes, and suddenly his back felt cold for no reason, and couldn’t help shivering: “Sheng, Sheng-ge?”
“Yeah.” Yu Sheng nodded, “Tell them to start a video.”
Duan Lei nodded immediately, full of anticipation: “Okay! What are you doing playing the video? Playing games? Playing cards? Fighting the Landlord——”
“Go get your summer homework.”
Yu Sheng was in a good mood, and ate another candy, “What do you not understand? I’ll teach you.”
