Duan Lei watched Yu Sheng play on his mobile phone for most of the class, and was shocked by Sheng-ge’s good mood that he seemed to have never had before.
He only met Yu Sheng when he was divided into classes in his sophomore year of high school. Before that, this name was just a legend in the school for most people.
A first-year high school student with a gentle name and a very harmless appearance, confronted the school bully who had been famous for a long time in the third year of high school. He beat up the school bully so much that no one could recognise him. The bully was beaten up so badly he hugged the passing teacher’s leg and cried loudly.
In the end, the two sides wrote the reflection and took punishment together, the school bully transferred to another school, and Yu Sheng became famous in the school.
It was only later that Duan Lei found out that the reason Yu Sheng beat up the school bully was because an honest boy in their class had been blocked by the school bully for money.
Yu Sheng’s class teacher in the first year of high school didn’t care about anything. The boy told the teacher the truth several times, and the answer he got was “Reflect on what you did wrong.”.
The boy really had no other choice, and he didn’t dare to tell others. After changing several roads and being blocked by the bullies, he had no choice but to give the money to save himself.
The pocket money he gave at the beginning was enough, but the group of people asked for more and more, from fifty to one hundred, and if he didn’t have it, he would be beaten.
Later, the boy’s grades plummeted, and he was already in a slump. Duan Lei saw him twice, and thought that there might be something wrong with this person.
Yu Sheng forgot to bring something back from school and came across this incident by chance.
At that time, the school bully in the third year of high school led people to block the boy, took off his clothes and covered his head, laughing and telling him to kneel down and crawl over.
___
But when Yu Sheng was solving the problem in the past, that idiot still had to speak harshly, threatening that honest boy that he would never be able to finish high school safely.
As soon as Yu Sheng made a move, he accidentally beat him to tears.
When Duan Lei found out about this, he couldn’t figure it out: “Sheng-ge, you were not doing a bad thing, why didn’t you tell the students in your class at that time?”
No one knew the inside story of the fight, except that Yu Sheng was punished for almost crippling someone.
The students in the first class were terrified of Yu Sheng because of this incident, and they were trembling when they spoke, and they didn’t dare to speak loudly when they were sitting next to him.
Yu Sheng didn’t explain the reason to him afterwards, but just found a very zen reason: “It’s too troublesome, I don’t want to talk about it.”
Duan Lei felt that he probably didn’t want to talk about it for some reason, so he didn’t ask any more.
Later, Duan Lei saw that boy twice, he was much more energetic than before, and his grades were improving all the way. Every time he met Yu Sheng on the road, he blushed and stuttered to say hello. Once he was assigned to an examination room, he tried his best to pass a note to Yu Sheng across thousands of mountains and rivers*.
*(people/obstacles)
Duan Lei was also at the scene at the time, and he was almost crazy with envy: “What is this? Filial piety? Sheng-ge, do you want to see it, or if you don’t, I want to see it…”
“Don’t read.” Yu Sheng gave him the small note, feeling happy, “Check carefully, believe in yourself, you can do it.”
Duan Lei was curious for half the exam, and finally he was so annoyed that he couldn’t take it anymore, and read the note on his desk.
As a result, he opened it with great enthusiasm, and found that there was only one line written on the note, the handwriting which was very upright and solemn but punctuated with bolded exclamation marks: Check carefully, believe in yourself !! You can do it !!!
When Duan Lei turned his head, it so happened that Yu Sheng was also looking there.
The boy wearing glasses with a thick frame grinned shyly, clenched his fists and gestured twice, mouthing: “Come on!”
After the exam, Duan Lei really wanted to talk to that boy, but was dragged by Yu Sheng to the cafeteria.
___
All in all, in the eyes of Duan Lei and even the entire second year of high school, Yu Sheng is by no means the school bully who would tear people apart with his bare hands in the minds of his first year high school students. He’s an ordinary classmate who is a little cold and doesn’t look easy to get along with, but in fact has a very good temper and is even quite helpful.
But even if this impression is already very common, the previous attributive “a bit cold and not easy to get along with” is something that no one would or would dare to take off in spite of their abilities.
In the first half of the second year of high school, they played Truth or Dare in the middle of the night. When they talked about whether Sheng-ge could not laugh, Duan Lei recalled it carefully: “Don’t talk nonsense, during the two months when I sat at the same table with Sheng-ge, I’ve seen him smile at least three times.”
Then he gained a group of people’s deep sympathy.
Duan Lei felt that he really had nothing to sympathise with in this matter.
He only sat at the same table with Yu Sheng during the first period of school, and he had the impression that Yu Sheng was in class for nothing except for sleeping, and he was not as violent as the rumours said, nor did he give the impression of having a bad temper.
He just couldn’t help feeling that Yu Sheng didn’t seem so happy.
Just laughing with others doesn’t necessarily mean you’re really happy. Occasionally, for a certain moment, he even felt a little lonely sitting at the table and watching Yu Sheng, in the midst of a lively classroom.
This feeling has not improved much even after having a group of their friends.
___
So Duan Lei still thinks that Sheng-ge, who is playing with his mobile phone happily and even has a relaxed smile, is probably possessed by that damn summer camp.
The thought didn’t bother him for long.
After the homeroom teacher reminded them of the morning self-study start time, Duan Lei watched helplessly as a man in black who looked very cold at first sight stood by the door.
Leaning against the wall to look at the phone, the black shirt has a simple design, the man is carrying a plastic bag with contents which cannot be seen clearly, and a pure black umbrella in his left hand.
The tip of the umbrella touched the ground, spreading a small puddle of water.
Duan Lei felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen him before, so he was instinctively nervous: “Sheng-ge, Sheng-ge! Be careful——”
Yu Sheng was packing up the newly distributed books. He raised his head according to the sound, and raised his eyebrows when he saw the figure outside the door.
“We’ll protect you.” Duan Lei felt a sense of responsibility, and stood up actively, blocking the angle of the man in black from looking towards Yu Sheng: “Go, don’t look back.”
___
Duan Lei, who was patted on the shoulder by Sheng-ge to sit down, couldn’t figure it out: “Why?”
“I think it’s because of this.” 302 was also paying close attention to the situation outside, leaning over and hooking his shoulders, “Look.”
Duan Lei then looked up.
The people in the class were almost gone, only a few of them who were going to the Internet cafe were still dawdling, preparing to stroll to the entrance of the Internet cafe pretending to be casual and careless.
The corridor was quite clean, Yu Sheng stood beside the man in black shirt, and without saying a word, the schoolbag in his hand was taken over.
The man in black shirt took out a coat from the plastic bag, pulled the man to his chest, and put the coat on for him.
Duan Lei felt that Sheng-ge should quickly grab the shoulder of the black shirt and throw it over his shoulder. After waiting for a long time, he only saw Sheng-ge fumbled something from his pocket and stuffed it for him.
In terms of size alone, it looks like the candy he ate during the online lecture yesterday.
“Are you short-sighted or not?” Yao Qiang couldn’t help it, “Is it purely from the size? That’s a candy!”
“Keep down.” Duan Lei is very serious, “Maybe this candy has a hypnotic effect, Sheng-ge wants to confuse him, and then take the opportunity to get away…”
A group of people were suspicious, put down their things again, and got together.
In the corridor, Jin Linkun looked curiously at Yu Sheng’s classroom with a chocolate candy in his mouth: “What are they looking at?”
Yu Sheng recounted to him in full: “They are looking to see if you were the man in black sent by the summer camp to live with me in my house and to detain me to study. Then, because I yearned for freedom, I was going to use this candy to paralyse you and take the opportunity to escape.”
“…” Jin Linkun himself hadn’t thought of this idea: “Is it so powerful? How did you explain it to them?”
Yu Sheng said concisely: “Yes.”
Suddenly he became a man in black, and Jin Linkun looked quite disappointed until he came out of the building.
Yu Sheng didn’t bring the stock with him today, and searched all over his pockets but couldn’t find another candy, so he could only deal with it and comfort him: “OK, you’re not cruel, and I also don’t yearn for freedom.”
Jin Linkun held up the big black umbrella that could hold three people, his eyes lit up: “Then what do you yearn for?”
___
Yu Sheng felt that this person was not ordinary.
Already used to the other party’s words to climb along the pole, Yu Sheng didn’t answer his words, and pulled up the zipper of his coat: “You guys ended so quickly?”
Jin Linkun nodded: “It is said that it is just returning to school, but in fact, school has already started for two weeks. I just want to emphasise a few words to mobilise morale.”
It was raining a lot outside, and the wind was blowing on me. Jin Linkun turned sideways to block the wind, took out a hand warmer from his pocket, and stuffed it into Yu Sheng’s hand.
He looked at Yu Sheng, guessed what Yu Sheng was worried about, and smiled: “Don’t worry, the teacher is still the teacher who taught me in the third year of high school, and the classmates are also very good – it’s just a headache if there are endless people asking for autographs. I’m considering whether to keep a low profile and wear a mask to school…”
___
The previous words sounded quite normal, but after hearing the latter, Yu Sheng felt that he was really worried about this person for nothing.
It is not suitable to climb over the wall on rainy days. You have to go around to the main entrance to go home, and the road home became longer in the blink of an eye.
Neither of them wanted to walk in the heavy rain, so they simply voted and decided to leave the school gate and wait for the bus.
The raindrops crackled on the umbrella so loudly that it was almost noisy.
Yu Sheng raised his head and carefully looked at the person beside him for a while.
Jin Linkun raised his eyebrows: “What’s wrong?”
“I’m not used to it.” Yu Sheng said bluntly, “You should act pitiful, and then tell me ‘friend, this is the only wish I have’, let me help you realise it.”
This person has used this method to escape being beaten more than once, which made him soft-hearted and promised something. This time it was so normal all of a sudden, but Yu Sheng was not used to it.
“…”
The kid had already seen the routine, Jin Linkun coughed lightly, and couldn’t help touching the tip of his nose: “After saying it like this, I suddenly feel that this is quite worthy of a beating.”
“In the future, you will probably have such opportunities for reflection often.”
The bus stopped at the platform, Yu Sheng got on the bus, searched for a seat, and walked to the last row: “Tell me, what’s going on?”
Jin Linkun smiled and sat down beside him: “Actually, that’s what happened.”
Yu Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked back at him.
“That’s the thing, really.”
It was raining today, and the bus was too dark to see clearly. Jin Linkun put his hands in his coat pockets, and leaned his shoulders to Yu Sheng: “I wanted to tease you, so I asked you to be a little anxious, and take this opportunity to give you a good hug. Let you promise to hold hands with me.”
Jin Linkun’s tone was very serious: “But I thought about it…no way.”
Yu Sheng frowned.
“Holding you is very important, but it’s more important to let you not worry.”
Jin Linkun smiled, raised his hand and gently stroked his hair: “It doesn’t matter about other things, I can’t make fun of you with this.”
The bus roared, raindrops hit the windows, and then slid down the glass.
The humidity and coldness were kept out of the window, and the hand warmer was still dutifully emitting heat. Yu Sheng put his hand in his pocket, squeezed it, and held the hand warmer and handed it over.
Jin Linkun was very humble: “No, I’m not cold—”
“Don’t talk.” Yu Sheng held the hand warmer, stuffed it directly into his pocket, and held his hand.
After holding the umbrella all the way, Jin Linkun’s hands were actually a little cold.
Yu Sheng fumbled with his hand twice, trying to find his fingertips.
The space in the back row of the bus was a bit narrow, and before I could feel it clearly, the other party’s hand had already been squeezed back with some force: “Yu Sheng…”
Yu Sheng tapped his knuckles, signalling him to relax a little: “What are you doing?”
Jin Linkun’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, his shoulders straightened unconsciously, and his heart beat a little faster: “Don’t move, I’m a little nervous when you’re like this.”
___
It has long been seen that this person can flirt endlessly once he opens his mouth.
Yet he is so nervous to hold hands, and go home with him.
Yu Sheng glanced at him, and moved his hand in his pocket twice: “I wasn’t looking for you, I was looking for a hole.”
Jin Linkun: “…”
When this stop was almost over, Jin Linkun’s hand tightened suddenly.
Yu Sheng felt that he was almost warmed up, and was about to take out the hand warmer, but when he sensed the other party’s strength, he stopped his movements: “What’s the matter?”
“I’m usually—not like that.”
Jin Linkun’s voice was too soft, and he was drowned in the noise of the engine if he didn’t pay attention: “Usually my mind turns very fast, and I’m not cowardly or annoying.”
“…” Yu Sheng couldn’t help but comment: “Is your perception of yourself so accurate?”
Jin Linkun: “…my friend, I finally typed up the draft at home, you have to cooperate with me.”
Fine.
Anyway, there will be a while before arriving, and Yu Sheng is also idle, so he leaned back and cheered him up: “Then what are you doing now?”
Jin Linkun was slightly dumb, smiled, and was very frank: “I’m very nervous.”
Yu Sheng looked back at him.
“I don’t know what’s going on.”
Jin Linkun held his hand and pulled the corners of his lips: “I’m nervous when holding hands, and I’m also nervous when I hug you. It was fine when I touched your head, but now I’m nervous…you feel.”
He opened his coat and held Yu Sheng’s hand on his chest.
The heartbeat pounded against the chest wall, and through the fabric of the shirt, it hit the palm of the hand in a hurry.
Yu Sheng followed his heartbeat, feeling as if he was also infected.
It’s obviously not a new movement, and it hasn’t changed much. He’s been used to it for a long time, so it’s not surprising.
Yu Sheng pursed the corners of his mouth lightly, moved his hand, and unconsciously wanted to withdraw it.
After receiving half of it, it was circled by another hand.
The boy’s clean and slender fingers were tightly intertwined, with clear knuckles touching the fingertips.
It’s as if something…is completely different.
Yu Sheng’s phone lights up.
Duan Lei: Sheng-ge, we discussed it, but everyone is still worried!
Duan Lei: If that man in black does something strange to you, you must not cooperate with him !!
The bus passed through a tunnel, and the light of the street lamps on both sides suddenly dimmed, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
Yu Sheng’s right hand was held by Jin Linkun, holding the phone in his left hand. After listening to his heartbeat for a while, he tapped the keyboard uncomfortably to reply to a message.
Yu Sheng: It’s too late.
Duan Lei: ????
Yu Sheng put down the phone.
Jin Linkun kept looking at him, the faint white light on the screen reflected the dark eyes behind the lenses, Yu Sheng could see himself in it, and also see the sea of light that was so gentle that it could overwhelm him.
Yu Sheng: “You.”
Jin Linkun was startled: “What?”
“The previous question, what am I yearning for?”
Yu Sheng raised his head: “Ge, do you want to do something more intense?”
His words are extremely clear and concise, but Jin Linkun’s mind is in chaos right now, as if spoke his words almost without thinking.
The tunnel is not long, and the light of the street lamps has faintly fallen through in front of it.
Seeing that he was not moving, Yu Sheng pursed the corner of his lower lip and raised his head. Just as he was about to hurry up and kiss his face, Jin Linkun suddenly lowered his head.
A touch that was almost over the top, barely a kiss.
Gently brushing against the edge of his lips, he paused for a moment, then withdrew back along with the bright warm light pouring in.
