Yu Sheng raised his head.
The light shone on the bus window, casting a faint yellow light. Jin Linkun sat beside him, looking down at him.
His heart beat clearly, thumping against Yu Sheng’s palm.
The light in his pitch-black eyes was clear and firm, reflecting Yu Sheng’s shadow.
Yu Sheng’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, and he pursed the corner of his lower lip, trying to look away.
After turning away, one hand was already pressed against his hot ear.
Yu Sheng shivered, barely resisting the thought of doing something, and suddenly couldn’t help but frown.
He doesn’t know if Jin Linkun was overly nervous, but the hand he held was extremely cold, and even slightly wet.
Yu Sheng frowned, raised his hand to pull his arm: “What’s going on?”
“……It’s nothing, nothing.”
Jin Linkun couldn’t help laughing, and lightly hugged his boyfriend who was as red as a tomato, “You’re almost ripe, let me cool you down.”
Yu Sheng turned his head and looked at the particularly conspicuous handprints on the car window that was covered with water vapour due to the temperature difference between inside and outside of the bus: “…”
Jin Linkun, who was thrown back, sat in his seat, rubbed his nose and turned on his phone, adding another item to the long list of “may be beaten”.
It was a long way home from the school gate, and the bus made a big circle, and it took almost an hour before finally approaching Yu Sheng’s stop.
When he was about to get home, Yu Sheng suddenly moved his arm to touch Jin Linkun’s hand propped by his side.
Jin Linkun bent his eyes, turned his wrist and held that hand in his palm, and was about to speak when Yu Sheng’s fingertips touching his wrist suddenly attracted his attention: “…”
“Excuse me, friend.”
Jin Linkun wasn’t quite sure what the process was now, so he couldn’t help but ask, “Can I ask—”
Yu Sheng focused on taking his pulse: “No, shut up.”
This man’s heartbeat was obviously as fast as his just now, but now it has actually slowed down.
At any rate, he had played basketball for several years, yet his cardiopulmonary function was actually not as good as that of a person who only went to the esports base to play games for a year.
Yu Sheng threw away his arm, looked out the window, and continued to take deep breaths to adjust his state.
Jin Linkun looked carefully for a while before he almost guessed what was going on.
___
His kid always seems to be very strong in some particularly interesting areas.
The corner of Jin Linkun’s lower lip couldn’t help but tug up, he cleared his throat and leaned over, reaching out to hold Yu Sheng’s hand: “Think about it this way, friend, maybe you just realised that we two are in a relationship now.”
Falling in love is different from everything they have done before.
It doesn’t start when you make an agreement and pull the hook, nor is it like an exam, where the dust settles after handing in the paper.
You have to learn little by little, discover and adapt to all the changes in your life little by little, and accept the appearance of another person in your current life and all your plans for the future.
Jin Linkun lowered his voice considerately, comforting his little boyfriend.
Then he found that the little boyfriend seemed to be more popular than before.
The bus stop is across the street from Yu Sheng’s house, and you have to cross another road when you get off the bus.
The rain stopped for a while, the wind was blowing so hard that people couldn’t stand, and the dark clouds, like thick ink were still gathering together under the dim moonlight, and it was estimated that there would be another rain after a while.
Jin Linkun managed to remember the way, and wanted to find their home by himself, so he insisted on leading the way.
Yu Sheng fulfilled his wish, followed behind him, and pulled the zipper to the neckline.
The coat is Jin Linkun’s, a little big and very thick, and it can block the cold wind blowing tightly.
Jin Linkun carefully looked at the vehicles on both sides of the sidewalk, and naturally reached behind his back and waited for him.
Yu Sheng was a step slower than him, walked to the side of the road, and looked at the hand he extended.
The air is exceptionally fresh after the rain, and the streets are washed clean. The vehicles on the road flow by, and the red light jumps into a green villain through the hazy fog.
Jin Linkun waited for him at the intersection, behind him was the dense traffic, the green light on the sidewalk was on, and pedestrians hurried past.
It was like a vague dream that suddenly unfolded clearly in front of him, leading to a future where no new stories would happen.
Yu Sheng followed and gave him his hand.
It wasn’t until he got home that the heat from Yu Sheng’s ears mostly faded away.
He actually tried to take a cold shower at one point, but Jin Linkun stopped him and went into the bathroom first, and now the whole bathroom is full of steam.
Just now when Yu Sheng opened the door to hand him a towel, he almost thought that the Disneyland stage performance crew had parachuted into his bathroom.
The rain outside began to fall again, getting heavier and heavier, the sky was so overcast that it looked like it could touch the ground, thunder and lightning argued in the sky non-stop.
Yu Sheng changed into a short sleeved shirt and lay on the bed, touching the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.
___
To date someone.
When Jin Linkun entered the bedroom, Yu Sheng was still lost in thought with his arm on his pillow.
It seems that he is thinking very seriously, and he didn’t even notice when he left the bathroom.
He still remembers the last time when Yu Sheng got caught in the rain and had a fever. Jin Linkun was a little worried, went over and touched his forehead, and waved his hand in front of his eyes: “Yu Sheng?”
“I’m not asleep yet.” Yu Sheng leaned on his arm, turned over, and pulled the hand covering his forehead to let him sit down, “What did you tell your family?”
Having met this bed several times, Jin Linkun warmly supported the bed and said hello, and leaned down in his direction: “Said: I found a good place, it’s very comfortable to live in, the kid is very cute, and it only takes ten minutes to go to school if I flip over the wall.”
Yu Sheng: “…”
Based on his understanding of Duan Lei and his parents, normal parents may not be able to accept this kind of reason for living outside.
Jin Linkun was still adjusting his posture, trying to find the most suitable way to lie on the bed: “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing.” Yu Sheng rubbed his forehead, “Then your family agreed?”
Jin Linkun didn’t think there was anything wrong with his reason. He lay beside him, took the child’s arm, and nodded: “They immediately relaxed and took their luggage to travel abroad.”
___
It seems about right.
To be able to raise such a son, they should not be the usual parents.
Correcting his initial impression, Yu Sheng stretched his stiff shoulders and wanted to get up to take a shower, only to realise that Jin Linkun was still holding his arm.
Jin Linkun was carefully looking at the furnishings in the bedroom. He didn’t know what he was planning, but he was thinking very seriously, and he didn’t have time to let go.
Yu Sheng didn’t pay attention when he got up, he slipped his hand while being dragged by him, and fell back on his stomach without holding on.
The bed is very soft, and it’s actually fine to fall into it. However, Jin Linkun didn’t think, so he unconsciously opened his arms to catch him.
___
The boy’s bones were hard, and they collided with each other with a muffled bang.
Yu Sheng pressed the corners of his eyes, and Jin Linkun covered his shoulders, both of which were in so much pain that they couldn’t make a sound for a long time.
“Where did you knock into?”
Jin Linkun was taken aback, not caring about his shoulders, he hurriedly pulled Yu Sheng’s hand covering the corner of his eyes: “Is it hurt? Let me see…”
In fact, it only slightly hurts from the impact. If they were to talk about who’s injured, Jin Linkun should change the material making up his shoulder first.
Yu Sheng was pulled twice by him, moved his hand away, and blinked twice: “It doesn’t matter.”
He didn’t take it seriously at first, but seeing Jin Linkun’s extremely nervous expression, he still couldn’t help raising the corner of his mouth, pushing his face away and pushing him away: “It’s fine, am I so fragile?”
It’s really nothing, just knocked into it, and it just looks a little red.
Jin Linkun breathed a sigh of relief, touched the red mark, but felt worried, and pulled him to sit up: “Don’t move.”
Yu Sheng still wanted to ask him what he wanted to do, but the person opposite had already leaned over, pressed his shoulder, and blew lightly around his eyes.
The gentle air current brushes over the skin, which is a little cool.
Yu Sheng’s heart skipped a beat, and his shoulders tensed unconsciously.
In fact, Jin Linkun didn’t stay in the bathroom for a long time, he just carried the warm heat out.
The warm breath was still on his chest, and he leaned over, his chest and shoulders were so warm that he couldn’t help but want to close his eyes.
Yu Sheng sat on the edge of the bed and asked him to carefully blow on it a few times, the fingertips pressing against the palm a little painful.
Jin Linkun may indeed be right. It’s not that he’s not nervous, it’s just that he reacts a little slower.
This love letter is so tactful that it can turn eight corners. When he just heard the phrase “I want this kid in my family”, his mind was a little empty, then he was caught off guard by the mention of ‘family’.
___
As a result, it took two days to realise that the prerequisite for becoming a family member and having a boyfriend is that they have to fall in love.
He has actually seen love, and he has also seen what love inevitably wears down in reality, and what it looks like to wither and die in the end.
This was the first lesson his parents taught him.
When he was in that private junior high school, because his grades were dropping rapidly in the third grade of junior high school, the psychological counsellor of the school talked to him twice.
They talked a lot about mentality adjustment after parents divorced, and post-traumatic readjustment. They also gave him a few books and asked him to look through them.
Yu Sheng read two books at that time.
He deliberately didn’t read it carefully, and he didn’t find it much in the past few years, but if he really thought about it, he could still recall the content written on it relatively clearly.
It was the first chapter he opened casually.
There is a small faint crease in the upper right corner, two lines of space between the first paragraph and the title, and the last period at the end of the paragraph is in the very middle of the page.
The writing is not about cheering up and strengthening oneself, but analysing that individuals who have experienced family breakdown will have obstacles in accepting others, and they will tend to avoid and reject establishing long-term stable relationships.
There are quite a few examples above, as well as theoretical analysis of psychology, which proves that this is a common phenomenon and requires long-term adjustment and repair of scars before trust can be re-formed.
___
Yu Sheng could actually understand what was written above.
“Does it still hurt?” Jin Linkun blamed himself, “It’s all my fault… Let me see if this doesn’t work, I’ll bring some medicine—”
Yu Sheng took his hand and moved it away: “It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt.”
Avoidance, passivity, rejection, habitual self-protection.
He knew it all, he could understand it, and he had even experienced it.
Feeling that his mood was a bit wrong, Jin Linkun frowned, hugged him and lowered his head, gently rubbing his head: “What’s wrong?”
Yu Sheng shook his head, grabbed Jin Linkun’s wrist, put his shoulder on his shoulder and closed his eyes.
He just suddenly discovered that all of this can have nothing to do with him.
Whether his parents had separated, whether he had forgotten the memory of being a family of three at the time, whether he will become a parent and an adult who is not good enough.
It has nothing to do with him meeting someone he likes and wanting to be with him all the time, to go to a higher place with better scenery.
“Don’t you want to hug me for a while?”
Yu Sheng was inexplicably too lazy to move, and leaned on his shoulder, brushing Jin Linkun’s neck with the tip of his hair: “Do you want to hug me or not?”
“……Hug.”
Jin Linkun stretched out his hand and wrapped him in his arms, “I really want to hug.”
The house was quiet again.
The bedroom, which has already been stuffed with the things of two people, is completely isolated from the howling cold wind outside.
Yu Sheng leaned in his arms, quietly closing his eyes.
The atmosphere was warm and quiet, Jin Linkun hugged his little friend, lowered his head slightly, and tried to explain his stupid behaviour just now: “I actually wanted to hug you just now, but I couldn’t control where I landed—”
Yu Sheng decided to give this person who was going to be together with him forever a simple and clear reminder: “Shut up.”
“…”
Jin Linkun closed his mouth obediently, and tightened his arms slightly.
When he estimated the time when the steam in the bathroom would dissipate, and decided to remind Yu Sheng to finish the hot water as soon as possible, lest the bathroom cool down again, he suddenly found that Yu Sheng had fallen asleep in his arms.
The young man closed his eyes, breathing long and steadily, and his brows were relaxed and soft.
Jin Linkun sat quietly for a while, lowered his head, and hugged him in his arms.
…It’s okay not to go to the bathroom.
It is nothing more than to warm up as soon as possible to avoid catching a cold, and he seems to be able to do this function.
Already having experience, Jin Linkun lifted the quilt skillfully, lay down with the person who wanted to sleep as soon as he touched him, covered the quilt tightly, and hugged the person into his arms.
The bedroom lights dimmed, and the bedside lamp cast a soft halo.
Yu Sheng was so tired that he lifted his eyelids, half asleep and half awake, he glanced twice, and Jin Linkun raised his hand to cover his eyes in time: “Sleep, it’s okay.”
The palm was tickled twice by the tip of Yu Sheng’s eyelashes, feeling itchy, the hand moved away. The kid seemed to be waiting for something, frowning and refusing to close his eyes to sleep.
Jin Linkun hesitated for a moment, tried to lean over, and kissed him lightly on the forehead.
___
The next day, Duan Lei and the others were not surprised when they saw Yu Sheng’s bruise.
“Sheng-ge, if you are tied up and beaten up, blink once.”
Duan Lei couldn’t talk anymore, but he still tried his best to muster up the courage to help his brother: “We will accompany you to walk through the mountain of swords and into the sea of fire.”
Yu Sheng himself didn’t expect to make such a misunderstanding, so he turned a page of the book and rubbed his forehead: “I said it’s alright, listen to your class.”
On the corner of his desk was the tea egg that Jin Linkun had stuffed before he went to school. After doing a few paper questions, he still couldn’t help reaching out his hand during the break, peeled off the eggshell and ate it.
___
This person actually thought that he would use eggs to apply it on his bruise.
If it weren’t for the delicious tea eggs at the street corner, Yu Sheng would have turned down his good intentions of going out to buy eggs early in the morning.
A group of people headed by Duan Lei firmly believed that Yu Sheng was even beaten black in the eye socket by the super aloof man in black. They discussed anxiously all morning, but they didn’t discuss how they could rescue Sheng-ge from a person whose fighting value might be higher than that of Sheng-ge.
After school at noon, they collectively hid cautiously in the corner of the classroom, watching Sheng-ge put on his school uniform, picked up the thermos and went out of the building door, all the way to the back wall facing the two pedestrian streets.
The school cafeteria is actually enough, but because there are too many unexpected ingredients in the meals, many students are used to ordering takeaway at noon or going over the wall to eat.
The leadership had been strictly supervised for a period of time, and the director of the education department educated the students several times in front of the loudspeaker. Finally, in order to set an example, he went to the cafeteria to eat with the students.
___
Later, this behaviour was silently allowed.
A group of people held their breath and quietly followed Yu Sheng, carefully scouting the enemy’s situation along the way.
“Sheng-ge arrived at the wall, Sheng-ge rolled up his sleeves, Sheng-ge was about to turn over – Sheng-ge didn’t turn over the wall, Sheng-ge got a person from the wall.”
Yao Qiang was in charge of the investigator of this section, facing the mobile phone, and lowered his voice to broadcast live to a group of people: “This person is wearing a black shirt. It looks like the same person as last time… Do you think this person looks familiar?”
“I also think it looks familiar!” Duan Lei patted his thigh, “Have you seen it in the exam before? I remember it was also a black shirt…”
302nd position’s student Yao Qiang shook his head: “That’s not true, we may not be meeting the same person, I am not in the same examination room as you.”
The information was not connected for the time being, and a group of people decided to temporarily abandon this topic and continue to monitor what the man in black was going to do to Sheng-ge.
“He brought two lunch boxes, and he and Sheng-ge walked to the small gazebo, and they sat down together——Damn it, is that squirrel mandarin fish?”
Yao Qiang swallowed: “Are we really going to protect Sheng-ge until the last moment? That squirrel mandarin fish smells so good.”
“Speaking of loyalty? Have you forgotten how Sheng-ge stayed up late to give you tuition!”
Duan Lei couldn’t help but question them from the soul: “Look at Sheng-ge’s bruises today, can you still eat?!”
The boy next to him looked at the photo sent by Yao Qiang, and couldn’t help swallowing: “How should I put it…”
The other boy pressed his stomach that was growling with hunger, and took a deep breath: “Should be able to eat a lot.”
The man in black and Yu Sheng found an empty seat by the small gazebo, put down their lunch boxes, and exchanged Wangzai milk and thermos cups in each other’s hands.
There is a gazebo and a promenade beside the wall, and there is a grove next to it. It is a good place for a date, and many people settle their lunch here at noon.
Taking advantage of the crowds around them, several people sneaked in and hid in the crowd. They watched the man in black and Yu Sheng talk and laugh as they opened the lunch box, arranged the soup and rice, and patiently picked out the fishbone, and put a piece of golden and crispy fish into Yu Sheng’s bowl.
“It’s coming!” Duan Lei was very nervous, “Give him a sweet date first, and then he will definitely show his true colour!”
Yu Sheng’s prestige has dominated the entire No. 3 high school all year round. A person who can even beat Yu Sheng, and even caused bruises, must be extremely powerful in combat.
Maybe he’s a legendary figure from another school.
___
Probably in response to his guess, as soon as he finished speaking, the man in black put down his chopsticks and raised his right hand.
Duan Lei instantly entered the battle preparations, got up quickly, and prepared to desperately hug the thighs of the men in black, to fight for their Ge’s opportunity to be free.
As he was just about to rush over, the man in black put his hand on the head of their majestic school bully Ge, smiled lightly, and rubbed it very lightly twice.
