Recap
The basketball was thrown from Jin Linkun’s hand, and before it even had time to hit the ground, Yu Sheng caught it in the air and sent it flying towards the basket.
The crisp sound of the whistle cut through the air.
Yu Sheng knew what he was doing and didn’t even look back when he landed. Facing Jin Linkun who was running towards him, he raised his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.
___
After the basketball game, the number of posts about Yu Sheng in No. 3 High School’s forums doubled again.
The Sports Committee finally got what they wanted. They came down from the basketball court wiping their sweat. For the first time, a girl took the initiative to ask for their user on WeChat.
It started with a very cordial “Hello, classmate”.
Seeing the hope of breaking the curse of 11.11 waving its hand in the distance, the sports committee was so excited that he pulled his good teammate Yao Qiang to watch together: “Come on, someone sent me a message. How should I reply? Be enthusiastic or reserved?”
“Be more reserved, girls these days like a steady boyfriend.”
Yao Qiang is also excited. He took a gulp of water and gave him some advice: “It’s best to bring in a few English words without prompt. There will be a hint of stability in your poise.”
The two of them were so nervous that they struggled for a long time, the preview message in their hands had not yet been fully clicked.
Duan Lei passed by the two of them and kindly helped open the unread message.
[Hello, classmate.]
[You play basketball very well and we all think you are very handsome. We heard that you have a good relationship with your classmate Yu Sheng. I would like to know more about it…]
Sports Committee: “…”
Yao Qiang: “…”
“I’ll teach you how to respond.”
Duan Lei is very proficient in this kind of thing, and he is inexplicably not surprised at all: “Just say that Sheng-ge doesn’t use a mobile phone, doesn’t use WeChat, has no hobbies, and only has studies in his heart, most importantly, he doesn’t need friends who can study together with him.”
The Sports Committee held the phone and felt very sad: “Can I add one more sentence: but I need it?”
“…”
Duan Lei patted him on the shoulder, took out a sticker with a screenshot of the 11.11 red envelope specially customised by their class monitor, and slapped it on the forehead of the Sports Committee.
That first message is just the beginning.
After knowing that Yu Sheng didn’t want to study with others, there was still an endless stream of people coming to ask for him.
There were boys who came to ask for videos of the game itself, and there were also young girls who cautiously asked if they had high-definition photos. There were also some who they had known for a while, “Long time no see. Do you remember that time we copied each others’ homework together once in elementary school?” and finally came to inquire about classmate Yu Sheng.
People gradually get used to it through the constant repetition. The Sports Committee and Yao Qiang were still looking forward to it at first, but soon they became numb. They copied, pasted and skillfully sent the same message over and over and turned into emotionless answering machines.
Later, they simply changed their signatures to “QQ and the photo albums have the photos, our moments and the space have the videos, and Sheng-ge and his friend have a relationship.”
The parallels are used very skillfully and with great momentum.
The people in Class 7 are very united, and no one told the truth that Sheng-ge and his friend not only had a relationship, but that they were actually having a relationship.
But the atmosphere in the Tieba forum was still the same as the many photos and videos circulated from that informal ball game, and it was inevitable that rumours would circulate.
Later, several special threads were even opened.
There are many art students in No. 3 High School, and the dedicated thread has everything from photos to fan comics, and the content is extremely rich.
Yu Sheng is not interested in most of these threads and forums, but Jin Linkun reads them very frequently. He even saved several posts in his alternate account, and went to see if the original poster had come back to update them.
“I didn’t see you all day long today.”
Jin Linkun held up his mobile phone and held his boyfriend back with another hand, who wanted to come over and delete some posts in his favourites: “If you want to see me, you need to take a look at this first.”
The two of them have to go to class during the day, even if they are not in the same class, they are not in the same school, they cannot even meet and chat between classes.
During class, Yu Sheng was still going through his review step by step. Jin Linkun didn’t send him messages often, so he had to find something else to talk about.
___
Seeing that this man seemed to be really serious, Yu Sheng was held in his arms and mentally counted the number of times this man jumped over the wall every day.
He didn’t know whether it was necessary to express his thoughts and feelings, but he felt that if the two of them had gotten a bit closer, the two principals would have been forced to simply tear down the wall and merge the schools into one.
But Jin Linkun obviously still felt that it was not enough.
He is still a little taller than Yu Sheng. Yu Sheng has to stand on tiptoe and Jin Linkun puts his cell phone on the top shelf of the bookshelf. He took the opportunity to draw the person closer into his arms, lowered his head and kissed Yu Sheng’s lips quickly.
The warm and sweet atmosphere imagined in Tieba fan comics actually does not exist.
Under normal circumstances, Yu Sheng would react immediately to sudden attacks, and a brand new display of skills would usually follow the next moment out of the blue.
In fact, both of their skills are not bad. Jin Linkun is not as good at specific moves as his boyfriend, but he also has his own unique moves.
Especially if Yu Sheng gave an indication that he was going to act out, Jin Linkun’s height and physical strength have considerable advantages. Every time, he is able to successfully hold the person in his arms, and rub his head and kiss his little friend.
___
After holding his child and lying on the bed to catch his breath for a while, Jin Linkun’s thoughts wandered away from Tieba, and suddenly he remembered another thing: “By the way, Cen Rui and the others said before that the temporary certificate of our summer camp forum is about to expire. We need to download all the resources that we want.”
Most of what is circulated in the summer camp forums are all kinds of real exam questions, as well as a lot of precious online problem-solving materials. It can be said that they are rare treasures that come from the collision of the brain power and knowledge reserves of the top students in the province.
Classmate Kong Jiahe specially bought a large mobile hard drive and it was filled to the brim, with not even a byte left.
Yu Sheng had already finished the above questions at the summer camp. He turned over and rested his head on Jin Linkun’s arm: “There are things you want to download?”
“Of course.”
Jin Linkun said in his heart that the video of two people wearing the little dinosaur and little bear costume playing was still on it. He stopped when he was about to speak and changed his words quickly: “There are some good sets of competition questions on there. I can practise if I have nothing to do as a mental exercise.”
He sat up and took out his computer, opened the forum and was about to log in, when he suddenly remembered that his “wsyzka” level 9 account. It is not convenient for it to be exposed in front of his child.
With his heart in his throat, Jin Linkun raised his hand and hesitated for a while, then touched Yu Sheng’s shoulder: “I forgot my password, can I log in to yours?”
“…” Yu Sheng moved his arm and got out of the bed: “I forgot it too.”
In that somewhat troublesome situation, it was really not easy to hear the word “forget” coming out from Yu Sheng’s mouth.
Jin Linkun raised his eyebrows and looked at his child who calmly took the lid of the cup and went out to heat the milk. He felt that things might not be as simple as he thought.
But he didn’t ask either.
On the one hand, even if two people are already together, they should have their own secrets and space, and they don’t have to let each other know everything.
…On the one hand, it was also because when he followed him out to place the cup on the lonely cup holder in Yu Sheng’s hand, he was stared at by his child’s death ray, he felt that he might die if he asked further.
They played around for a long time before going to bed. The air conditioner at home was turned on high, but both of them were sweating a little.
Yu Sheng took a shower, then stuffed Jin Linkun into the bathroom, and leaned against the headboard to play with his mobile phone for a while.
The garbage money-making app from the summer camp has been sitting in the corner of his phone for a long time. He usually doesn’t have anything on his phone, and he has uninstalled several mobile games that took up space, so he doesn’t have any worries about memory.
He hasn’t organised his phone since the beginning of school, so he just let this app sit there until now.
The summer camp has ended, and he doesn’t know who is continuing to maintain the forum. Yu Sheng clicked into it and browsed, and found that there were still many people actively chatting on it.
There is actually nothing wrong with his account. The problem mainly lies in the purchase record.
He doesn’t know who gave the bad idea that they have to spend money to see the photos.
Spending money is one thing, but whoever it was also made such a conspicuous purchase record, hanging on the login interface, with the words “Thank you for your support and encouragement to this forum” written in red and bold.
Extremely annoying.
Yu Sheng logged into his account and clicked on the only purchase record.
Afraid that others would not know what he bought, this purchase record also comes with a thumbnail image. The so-called “Most popular boy last year” who is the main model of the picture, wearing a blue and white school uniform of the provincial school. In the preview of the picture, he is standing with a group of people in the sun, laughing heartily.
___
Yu Sheng tried to delete the purchase record, but found that it could not be deleted, so he had to think about something else.
When Jin Linkun came out, his boyfriend was looking through some practice questions on his mobile phone.
“Why are you doing those papers now?”
Jin Linkun had just finished taking a shower. He was feeling hot and warm. He wiped his hair and sat down next to him. He was a little curious about this increasingly strange development: “Are you not sleeping now?”
Yu Sheng held onto the phone and rubbed his forehead.
He is actually very sleepy.
But the questions are bought with money after all. Even if it is just to push the previous purchase record to the second page, it would be too wasteful not to do it.
Yu Sheng originally wanted to buy a few sets of cheap questions and select the ones with unique questions. Unexpectedly, these people have recently updated the question bank and included many new question types, including mock test questions from several other urban areas in the province.
And then he has been doing it since.
“…” After hearing the second half of his thoughts, Jin Linkun couldn’t help but touch Yu Sheng’s hair: “Friend——”
He just opened his mouth, met Yu Sheng’s gaze, coughed slightly and stopped in time: “How about… let me do a bit for you?”
He has to get up early the next day. Yu Sheng felt that this habit of his, which was similar to a type of obsessive-compulsive disorder, needed to be corrected quickly. He shook his head and gave Jin Linkun his phone: “I’ll do it tomorrow. Our teacher won’t care about me in class.”
Jin Linkun actually felt that this plan was unlikely to succeed, but he still nodded, turned off the light, and put the phone on the bedside table.
Yu Sheng lay there for a while with his eyes closed, still thinking about the unfinished set of papers.
The traps in the next few questions are very subtle, and it is easy to miss them if you are not careful. He didn’t notice it at first glance. He later noticed it after carefully reviewing the questions twice, but there was no guarantee that all the pitfalls would be found.
It is also possible that there is an over-interpretation of the intention of the person who asked the question, and the answer is too complicated, covering up the scoring points.
Yu Sheng went through it several times in his mind and found that he couldn’t help but want to look at his phone.
Jin Linkun was lying on his side, counting the 762 little dinosaurs, when Yu Sheng touched his elbow: “Ge.”
“Thirsty?” Jin Linkun was not too surprised and touched his forehead, “Wait a moment.”
He stretched out his arms and prepared to pour Yu Sheng a glass of water. Before he could stand up, he was pulled back by his hand.
The child in his family was lying on his back, with the quilt covering him tightly, and one hand holding his sleeve.
The edge of the quilt he was covered with just now was pulled a little high, covering half of his face, and his voice seemed a little muffled: “Ge, I can’t sleep.”
___
Jin Linkun’s hands almost couldn’t stop themselves.
Although he knew that his boyfriend probably wanted him to hand over his phone, Jin Linkun felt that there were other ways to clear his mind a little.
Especially in this situation, it is very suitable.
Yu Sheng was still thinking about the trap questions and didn’t react immediately. He raised his head and said, “What can I do?”
“Don’t move.” Jin Linkun propped up his arm and raised his hand to turn on the small bedside lamp. He put an arm under his shoulder and lifted him up a little: “Close your eyes.”
Yu Sheng vaguely felt that something was not right. He frowned and wanted to speak, but was already covered by a soft and gentle warmth.
In winter, you should change into thicker pyjamas, but the air conditioner at home keeps the temperature cool, and Yu Sheng doesn’t like sleeping wrapped in three layers, so he still wears the T-shirt he usually wears in summer.
The boy is lying on his back on the bed, with the clear lines of his collarbone showing through his wide collar. It is clear what Jin Linkun is doing so he didn’t move. The hand on the edge of the bed fumbled back to hold the other’s.
He kept his eyes open disobediently, Jin Linkun’s shadow and a little light still reflected in the pure black pupils.
Jin Linkun smiled and clasped the hand he had grasped and pulled it back, then leaned down to cover the person completely.
___
In class the next day, Yu Sheng not only failed to finish the questions as expected, but even slept all morning.
Realising that Yu Sheng is not so energetic, their class sports committee hesitated all morning, before finally finding the opportunity when Yu Sheng came back from dinner at noon: “Sheng-ge, can you bring Teacher Jin to sit on the sidelines during the basketball game tonight?”
The last training match was so popular that it even suppressed the formal competition of the top four teams.
After hearing that Class 7 classmate Yu Sheng and his friends made it clear that they would not participate in the official game, many people were disappointed, and their expectations for the basketball game in the Tieba voting plummeted.
It wasn’t until the sports committee of Class 7 stood up and promised that although their Sheng-ge would not come, he would definitely sit on the sidelines with his friends to guide the team, which finally saved the shaky popularity.
“But they are not here to watch basketball, they are here to watch Sheng-ge and Teacher Jin.”
Yao Qiang was actually not very sure: “Can someone drop by to see us? Can someone bring us some traffic?”
“No, we can’t. But it doesn’t matter.”
The sports committee patted Yao Qiang on the shoulder and thought very far: “Just keep two photos. When I go to college and find a girlfriend, I will show her this photo. They all came to support me in Basketball.”
This very flexible idea of their sports committee instantly inspired other male students.
Yu Sheng didn’t have any objections and took the mask handed over by the lifestyle committee: “Which class are you guys going to play with?”
“Class 2, sophomore year, the top humanities class in their year, the ones who gave us free training last time.”
The sports committee guessed that he probably didn’t know which class that was last time, so he gave him a detailed introduction: “Their leader is a transfer student, his name is Chang Chi, he has some connections in his family, so he asked someone to get him in… Originally he was with the same grade as us, and also heard that he is the top in his previous school.”
___
Yu Sheng had not been in the arena for many years and had no impression of this person. He suppressed a yawn and nodded.
The basketball game is quite a big event in No. 3 High School. The location of the semi-finals is set in the gymnasium, and the auditorium next to it is almost full.
The four teams were ready, and Class 7, as the last defending champion, changed their attire in a separate locker room. A group of people came out smartly wearing basketball uniforms that said “Class 7 Must Win” and were in high spirits.
“Help me ask Lao Duan, did he take the pictures? After a while, I’ll wave my hand. Ask him to take two more photos.”
The sports committee member maintained a reserved smile, greeted the audience, and asked Yao Qiang in a lowered voice without moving his lips: “Ask him to take a few more photos, pay attention to the angles, light and shadow.”
“No problem.” Yao Qiang was still worried before, but now he was immersed in the virtual glory, “I’ve also asked him to take a photo of me. The effect will be perfect.”
___
After the group of people had enough fun, Duan Lei’s hand holding the phone was so sore that he finally sat on the plastic seats on the sidelines feeling unsatisfied.
Jin Linkun walked to No. 3 High School with familiarity. As soon as he entered the school, he was taken to the gymnasium by Yu Sheng. He sat on the coach’s bench and handed Yu Sheng the hot milk in his coat pocket: “Do you have to wear a mask?”
“What they wanted is to not bring too much psychological pressure to the enemy.”
Yu Sheng put the straw into his mouth from under the mask and took two sips of milk: “It’s okay, it’s not hot.”
It’s actually a little cold.
There is no wind in the gymnasium. If the air conditioner is turned on, the temperature on the sidelines is just right. It will definitely be too hot when the ball is played on the court for a while.
Yu Sheng warmed his hands with the milk for a while, then turned to ask Jin Linkun: “Why does this one taste better than the previous one?”
“Huh?” Jin Linkun thought about it carefully, bent down and took a look at the milk box in Yu Sheng’s hand, and found that it was different from the one he bought before, “This time it’s student breakfast milk, oatmeal.”
The milk before was all of ordinary flavour, but Yu Sheng unexpectedly liked this kind with some other added flavours.
Jin Linkun took out his cell phone, looked at it twice, and wrote down a note on the memo: “There are also chocolate ones, strawberry ones, banana ones…”
“It’s okay.” Yu Shengyan interrupted briefly and concisely, “This will do.”
Jin Linkun felt a little regretful and put away his phone: “Why not try out other flavours?”
Yu Sheng felt his head hurt when he heard the name of the milk, and turned the milk carton so that the side with the word “student” written on it is facing him: “I won’t try others, it’s pretty good.”
Jin Linkun raised his eyebrows, smiled, and thoughtfully blocked the sight of No. 3 High School students from seeing the student who was drinking breakfast milk: “What’s the name of the leader of the team on the opposing side?”
Yu Sheng overheard what the Sports Committee said: “Chang Chi, transferred from science stream.”
According to the division of the two groups of people, he should have fought with this person several times, but after thinking about it, he didn’t have any impressions.
Their sports committee was also curious about whether Yu Sheng could remember their opponent: “What does it mean to have no impressions?”
Duan Lei understood very well and raised his hand in time to educate him: “It means either Sheng-ge won too easily, or the other party lost too happily.”
___
After listening to this, Class 7 specially pulled up a row of people to block Yu Sheng from sight even more.
Under the full cover of the entire Class 7, the senior students were still arrogant. Remembering the defeat on the court that day, Chang Chi led them and smashed the basketball firmly on the ground: “How about it, do you dare to fight? “
