It was the first time for Jin Linkun to experience the feeling of setting off firecrackers with his eyes closed.
It was also the first time he knew how fast his heartbeat could be.
The boy’s movements were jerky, a little nervous, and the fresh, fruity toothpaste smell, together with the wet, soft and warm tip of his tongue, ignited a fire in his chest.
A spark burst out, and suddenly there was a crackling sound, the smoke filled the air, and the fiery red firecracker exploded all over the place.
Jin Linkun was a little dazed.
Although his sanity has almost been blown away, his remaining desire to survive is still dutifully reminding him that he might definitely be beaten when he opens his eyes at this time.
And the beating may not be light.
And his kid was so brave after all, he might be scared to retreat if he moved.
The future is long, so don’t be in a hurry.
Jin Linkun pretended to be sleeping, and changed his posture calmly. Just as he was about to adjust his breathing again, Yu Sheng in his arms suddenly tensed for some unknown reason, and picked up his wrist.
Jin Linkun: “…”
___
“Friend.”
After finally getting up from under the bed, Jin Linkun pressed his waist and turned on the light, trying to explain: “The heartbeat is really beyond my control, I have tried my best.”
He didn’t expect his child to be so vigilant.
In the middle of the secret kiss, he suddenly picked up the hand of his boyfriend who was pretending to be sleeping, and felt the pulse.
“…” Yu Sheng covered his eyes with his arms and lay on his back on the pillow: “Shut up.”
Jin Linkun closed his mouth cooperatively, sat up with his arms propped up, and leaned against the bed.
After a while, Yu Sheng put his hand under the bed and swiped twice.
Jin Linkun tried to pass his arm over, but was grabbed by that hand, and pulled him onto the bed with a bit of strength: “Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?”
Jin Linkun thought in his heart that it would be better to be colder.
His child is not cold now, but it seems that his whole body is almost burning.
The whole person was flushed red, half of his face was covered in the quilt, and even the tips of his ears were hot.
So soft… no.
Jin Linkun patted the hand that was holding his wrist, indicating that he will do nothing but lie down, but the hand tightened slightly instead, and did not let go.
That little bit of strength is actually very gentle.
The contact between Yu Sheng’s fingers and his skin burned a strange heat in his wrist slowly.
Jin Linkun opened his mouth, but made no sound.
He leaned down, supported Yu Sheng with one hand, listened to his own heartbeat for a while, then bowed his head and kissed him.
Yu Sheng is really inexperienced in this kind of thing, so inexperienced that he is too nervous, his jaw is raised, and his throat tense.
But he did not move either.
The tip of the tongue lightly pried open the lips, exploring. Their breaths intertwine.
Jin Linkun kissed him, put one hand on Yu Sheng’s back, and softly comforted his lips: “It’s okay, relax…”
The two of them are actually not familiar with this kind of thing at all, and they are clumsily tangled together, unable to tell who is warmer than the other.
Yu Sheng didn’t move at first, but when Jin Linkun was about to get up and move away to tell him to take a break, he suddenly raised his arms to hug him.
Jin Linkun took a deep breath.
The boy hugged him tightly, so hard that he didn’t know how to relax, chest to chest, leaning against him: “Ge.”
Jin Linkun’s chest was hot.
He turned sideways, let Yu Sheng lean on his shoulder, raised his hand to stroke his hair, and kissed his forehead: “Wait for you… don’t worry.”
Yu Sheng moved between his arms, and half of his head came out.
The young man’s brows and lips were all tense, not knowing that he was already flushed with heat, and his pure black pupils were misty from being kissed, reflecting his shadow.
Jin Linkun: “…”
Jin Linkun took out his glasses, put them on, and looked at the calendar again.
……soon.
He let go of his arms, smiled at their children, and stood up: “Wait for me, I’ll go take a shower of cold water—”
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Sheng had already pushed him off, got off the bed with his arms propped up, and went into the bathroom.
___
Slowing down again, the two of them had already taken a shower for a long time, and returned to the bed in a daze.
Jin Linkun leaned against the head of the bed, touched Yu Sheng’s freshly dried hair, and looked at the time: “Let’s not go to class today, shall I ask you for leave?”
Yu Sheng felt that this person’s tone was getting more and more problematic: “…do you really regard yourself as my parent?”
“It doesn’t matter what I think in this matter.”
Jin Linkun had been gradually accepting the torment of life, and patted him on the head very maturely, “I dare say that if I make a phone call, your leave will definitely be approved.”
Yu Sheng: “…”
Can’t deny it.
Jin Linkun’s phone is very useful now. Two days ago, the school said that it would start preparing for a coming-of-age ceremony and college entrance examination swearing-in ceremony in a few months. Others informed the parents, and his news was directly sent to this person’s mobile phone.
Yu Sheng wanted to remind the Education Office several times to change the prefix of “Dear Parents”. Watching the principal key in the characters on the computer screen slowly with two fingers on the keyboard, he chose to unilaterally delete the messages on Jin Linkun’s phone.
The monthly exam is due next Monday, and adequate rest is indeed necessary.
In fact, the two of them don’t need to go to class every day. If they really want to review their studies, the efficiency of helping each other and learning together is higher than that in school.
He just took a shower of cold water, and he still hasn’t felt sleepy yet. Yu Sheng looked at the dawn that had already appeared outside the window, pressed his forehead, and acquiesced to his proposal.
Jin Linkun couldn’t sleep either, so he leaned on the pillow and moved down, put one arm around the person lying beside him, and patted the back lightly: “It just so happens that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are Saturday and Sunday. Relax a little, I want to do something.”
Yu Sheng said succinctly: “Sleep, study.”
“…” His boyfriend’s yearning for life is very simple and pure, and it is a lifestyle worth advocating.
Jin Linkun turned off the lights, sent a few text messages to classmate Liang Yifan, and at the suggestion of a good friend, simply scanned through the recently released movies, picked out a few with good ratings, and looked through the movie reviews.
The two of them haven’t even had a serious date since they got together, and the only two movies they have watched are in the private rooms of Internet cafes.
He retracted his arms and was about to let Yu Sheng choose a movie, only to find that the person who was too energetic to fall asleep just now had already fallen asleep next to him.
The boy’s thick eyelashes were firmly closed, his breath was light, and he held a little bit of the fabric of Jin Linkun’s pyjamas between his fingers.
Although he had been in cold water for half an hour, the lingering heat still came out, his skin was slightly red, and his forehead was pressed against his side.
Jin Linkun lowered his head, looking down at his boyfriend through the faint moonlight coming through the window.
He suddenly felt that Yu Sheng was right.
It’s not necessary to watch a movie, let him watch his child sleep at home for two days on weekends, it doesn’t seem to be boring at all.
___
It was only early in the morning that they closed their eyes, and both of them were extremely sleepy.
Jin Linkun set the alarm clock, struggled to wake up in the morning, called the teachers of the schools on both sides to ask for leave, and then fell asleep in his arms again.
Yu Sheng woke up at noon, and put Jin Linkun, who was about to follow into the kitchen, back into the bedroom, and started cooking a meal, which saved the taste buds of the two who had been so used to takeaways for several weeks.
Yu Sheng went to bed early yesterday and still had a few pages of vocabulary to finish. After eating, the two of them sat down and recited the vocabulary together.
It was always easy to get sleepy in the afternoon after a meal, and Yu Sheng’s biological clock was kept strict. Jin Linkun went to the balcony to test the temperature, pulled him outside, and took a nap with him hand in hand.
After waking up from a nap, the teacher from the provincial school just sent over two sets of high-difficulty maths papers. Yu Sheng happened to pass by when Jin Linkun was brushing up the questions, so he took the time to finish the rest of the questions.
___
In the evening, facing the gossip-filled text message “How is the date?” from classmate Liang Yifan, Jin Linkun thought about it carefully for a long time before suddenly falling into deep thought.
Liang Yifan didn’t receive a reply for a long time, and couldn’t help asking: Kunshen! What have you been doing? Are you too tired from playing??
Liang Yifan: Sleeping at night on a date is very important. Although Sheng-ge is still young, it doesn’t involve the neck down, and you still have things to do!
Liang Yifan: Don’t coax Kunshen! Sleep well, come on!
Jin Linkun pondered for a while on these text messages, and replied: I can’t sleep anymore.
Liang Yifan: ???
Jin Linkun didn’t explain any more, and ran five kilometres with his family’s child who was exhausted from too much sleep, and brushed up three sets of college entrance examination simulation papers.
When it was getting late at night, Liang Yifan found that they sent a Moments message: an extraordinarily fulfilling date.
Sheng-ge passed by below, and gave a clear thumbs up.
Three extraordinarily fulfilling days flew by.
The eight school’s joint examinations, the school’s exam time is arranged together. When Yu Sheng sat down in the examination room, he just received a message from Jin Linkun.
Dating, having a relationship, and being very fulfilled: how does it feel?
Yu Sheng was shocked by his extraordinarily long new WeChat name for a while, couldn’t help raising the corners of his mouth, and replied: I don’t feel it.
The eight-school joint examination always has given public rankings, and the results this time are not as reliable as last time. According to the principal’s instructions to him, he can hide his clumsiness appropriately, he doesn’t need to get too good grades in the exam, it’s almost enough, so as not to attract a group of school students to stare at him later.
Yu Sheng didn’t have too much obsession with this kind of exam. Since the principal wanted him to hide his clumsiness a little, he didn’t mind answering a few questions properly, and controlled the score within a range that was good enough but not too eye-catching.
After all, his foundation has always been there, and sometimes he accidentally listened to a few sentences of the class. His grades in the third secondary school were not at the same level, and he was also ranked in the middle of the grade. This time, doubling his grades would be almost the same.
Yu Sheng looked around, and there was the sound of flipping through books and notes around him, and everyone was racing against time to read a few more pages.
Reviewing before the exam has a magical power. Although you can’t see any possible exam questions, when you turn the pages of the book, you feel that every punctuation you see may be a test point.
Then during the exam, he found that what he read before the exam was useless, and then repeated the exact same previous routine before the next exam.
In this atmosphere, Yu Sheng felt that it seemed inappropriate for him to chat with a mobile phone. He fumbled around in his schoolbag a few times, found a CET-6 English correction book, and laid it out casually, replying to Jin Linkun with one hand.
Yu Sheng: Just take the test anyhow, it’s okay to just pass.
Yu Sheng: Let’s go to the movies after the exam.
The bell rang, and the invigilator’s footsteps sounded.
Yu Sheng tidied up the table twice, and put his schoolbag in the front corner.
Looking up, he was meeting Yin Mei’s distorted face.
The other teacher who came to invigilate the exam was not from the third year of high school and didn’t know much about the inside story. He walked to the door with two test paper leather bags in his arms, but was blocked by Yin Mei’s footsteps that stopped suddenly: “Mr. Yin?”
Hitting head-on, Yu Sheng put down his things and said politely, “Good morning Ms. Yin.”
Yin Mei has not been doing well recently.
Firstly, because the students who were thrown out were almost lost, they were scolded by the headmaster. The handbag matter has not been resolved for a long time, and the most promising student with the best grades in the first class actually took the initiative to transfer to the garbage seventh class that was the bottom rankings.
Although she doesn’t know what this matter has to do with her, the head teacher of the first class was very angry when he saw her. Two days ago, he made a report and asked the students in the class to change their English teacher.
Yu Sheng was not prepared to wait for her to respond, so he turned around and returned to his seat, just in time to hear Yin Mei speaking behind him: “Mr. Xu, it’d be good to monitor the exam hall more strictly just in case a student who only knows how to make trouble sneaks in among the students who do want to do well.”
Yu Sheng raised his eyebrows.
The partner who came to invigilate the exam, Teacher Xu, was teaching the first year of high school, didn’t know what she was referring to, so he could only smile: “I think the attitudes of the students here are quite good…”
Yin Mei looked at Yu Sheng, and the more she looked at it, the more she disliked it: “You may know a person, you may know their face, but you don’t know their hearts*. The problem of a person’s character has nothing to do with their attitude.”
*(知人知面不知心 chinese saying)
When she spoke, she didn’t lower her volume at all. Many students were a little nervous. They couldn’t help but look around secretly until the examination papers were issued.
From the beginning of the exam, Yin Mei has been watching Yu Sheng closely. Halfway through the Chinese exam, she really caught two students who cheated.
One is on the right side of Yu Sheng, and the other is in the row behind, passing a cheat sheet written silently by Zhang Yuwen.
In fact, there are quite a few cases like this in the third secondary school. The level of the city-level joint examination is strictly monitored. Once found, the examination will be terminated and the examination paper will be handed in directly.
Yu Sheng was answering the composition when he suddenly heard a stern scolding sound, subconsciously raising his head. Yin Mei had already slapped the book on the corner of his desk: “You hand in the paper too!”
Yu Sheng has been distracted for a long time by her gaze piercing his body like a nail. Finally, she found a chance to explode, put down the pen in her hand, and raised her gaze: “Why?”
Yin Mei snorted coldly: “You are so close, who knows if you cheated with them? Let you make it up for another hour, what else can you make up?”
Yu Sheng looked down at the paper in his hand.
The incident happened suddenly, and the other invigilator didn’t have time to react, so he rushed up to persuade her. Yu Sheng had already packed up his pens and stood up.
“This classmate, Ms. Yin—Ms. Yin may have been in poor health recently, which affected her emotions, and she was a little extreme in the way she dealt with it.”
The partner’s invigilator hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over: “Our monitoring system is very clear, don’t worry, as long as you have no problems, we will not make a wrong judgement…”
Yu Sheng was very touched by the new monitoring system of No. 3 secondary school. He twitched the corner of his mouth and nodded politely: “Thank you teacher, I don’t plan to hand in the paper.”
Both teachers were stunned.
Yu Sheng took the paper, stood directly on the podium, and spread out the paper.
Yin Mei’s face was in hot pain, and she couldn’t help taking a few steps over: “What do you mean?!”
“Now I can guarantee that I didn’t cheat.” Yu Sheng raised his head, “Ms. Yin, this exam is at the city-level joint exam level. You know that if you maliciously disturb a students’ exams causing them to fail to complete their education, it will cause serious damage to the school. Do you know what the consequences are?”
Yin Mei couldn’t explain it, and forced a sneer: “How much loss can you bring to the school at your level?”
Yu Sheng nodded, put his elbows on the table, lowered his head and continued to answer the question.
The invigilator next to her persuaded Yin Mei to leave the examination room, and after locking the door, she was relieved, and couldn’t help but sneak a closer look.
The student standing in front of the podium did not immediately continue to write the half-written composition, but turned the answer sheet back to the front, filled in the high-scoring dictation and reading questions that had been left blank before, and changed it three more times. The multiple-choice questions that were lightly shaded in before, were completely different from the answers on the paper.
