School Uniform Gentleman

"—!"

After Xie Li's voice, Yu Rui suddenly came back to his senses, stretched out his hand and pushed Xie Li away.

Xie Li wasn't surprised and didn't resist, he followed Yu Rui's push and took two steps back, letting go of his strength.Then Xie Li lowered his head halfway to look at the gasping young man leaning against the wall, and laughed dumbfoundedly.

At this moment, Yu Rui seemed to be forced to hold his breath until he was almost suffocated. At the moment when he was suddenly let go, he bowed his upper body slightly, his chest heaved violently, and even his fair collarbone and slender neck were covered with a layer of sweetness. .

——That was the closest distance, he had never allowed anyone to get close like this, every centimeter was stepping on his torment point, and he did hold himself so close that he almost lost his breath.

And Xie Li...

Yu Rui raised his eyes in annoyance. Although he tried his best to suppress the expression on his face, the red corners of his eyes, moist pupils and undulating breathing still revealed the turmoil in his heart.

The apology faded away, leaving only regret, "Xie Li, don't go too far."

Yu Rui's voice stabilized little by little.

At the last word sound, everything that happened just now didn't seem to have much impact on him, and he returned to the cold and alienated eyes behind him.

Yu Rui gave Xie Li a final cold glance, then turned and walked up the stairs.

Without stopping, he folded the first floor and disappeared from the man's sight. Yu Rui walked faster and faster, taking two or even three steps a step, until his breathing, which was already not calm enough, rose and fell again.

Yu Rui stopped abruptly.

The footsteps behind him were still far away, and the casualness that could be heard from the pace was also the usual lazy and meaningless of that person.

Yu Rui clenched his fists tightly, and after a few seconds, he couldn't help raising his hand and gently pressing on the carotid artery.

In the extreme silence of the approaching night, the pulse in his fingertips, the heartbeat in his chest beat violently in the open space that only he could hear.

Bang, bang.

"—!"

Yu Rui's fingers seemed to be scalded by the temperature of his neck, and they quickly retracted.

Pausing on the spot for a few more seconds, Yu Rui frowned, pursed his lips, and moved his legs again.

...is an illusion.

At that moment, he must not feel anything else.

-

Yu Li waited anxiously at home for the whole afternoon before finally waiting for Yu Rui to come back.

Hearing the sound of the door opening in his soundproof bedroom, Yuli dropped his homework and ran out.Stopping in front of Yu Rui at the door, she called "Brother", then tiptoed to look behind Yu Rui.

"There was an accident this afternoon. I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

When Yu Rui looked up after finishing speaking, he noticed Yu Li's expression, he finally remembered what he had ignored for half an afternoon - how could Xie Li, who had troubled him before, find his own problem and solve it at this moment.

Yu Rui leaned over helplessly and asked, "Xiao Li, you told Xie Li where I was interviewing for a part-time job?"

Yu Li blushed, and seeing Yu Rui's disapproval, she lowered her head, "I'm afraid that something will happen to my brother... and Brother Xie Li said before that he will take good care of him. He said that if something happens, let him I called him."

Yu Rui was startled, "He said, take care of me?"

"Yeah!" Yuli nodded vigorously.

Yu Rui straightened up, a little dumbfounded.

In the first 16 years from the beginning of memory, he was the only one who took care of others, and no one said he would take care of him.

……sick.

Yu Rui stretched out his hand to touch Yu Li's head, "What did my brother teach you before, isn't it that you can't casually chat about family affairs with strangers?"

Yu Li said confidently, "Brother Xie Li is not counted as a stranger anymore."

Yu Rui sighed softly, "You, you will definitely turn your elbow outward again in the future."

"No, I like my brother the most!"

"Really? As a reward, you go back to your room and change, and I'll take you out for dinner."

"Can I still go out?" Yu Li's eyes lit up.

"Since I promised you, my brother will not break the appointment."

"it is good!"

Seeing Yu Li's back that couldn't hide her joy, Yu Rui straightened up with a slight smile.

There was movement from the half-open door behind him, footsteps followed by a strange sound.

The smile on Yu Rui's face faded, and he looked back.

Xie Li stepped on the shadow of the steps and was walking up the stairs.And that strange sound came when the tennis ball he was playing hit the ground.

The yellow sphere with a little fluffy texture fell down and fell together in the careless play of Xie Li, put it in the palm, fell down and rose again...it kept going back and forth.

At the top step, Xie Li took the ball into his hands and didn't throw it down.

Xie Li held the ball in his pocket and lazily rolled his eyes.

When the line of sight touched, Yu Rui stopped.

He remembered the ball that Xie Li threw at the classroom wall when he lost his temper in school.

It's okay to wait for Yu Li, so Yu Rui asked, "What are you doing with tennis balls?"

Xie Li twitched the corner of his mouth, and his eyes followed the young man's backlit figure, flicking down from his neck and collarbone.His voice became hoarse, "... let's play."

"play ball?"

"Ah."

"Strange hobby."

Xie Li clicked his tongue softly, raised his dark eyes to look at Yu Rui, his smile seemed to have a deep meaning, "I've always been sick, don't you know?"

"..."

Yu Rui frowned slightly.

At this very second, the door of Yuli's bedroom was pushed open again, and the girl walked out briskly.

Seeing Xie Li's figure outside the door, Yu Li's eyes lit up: "Brother Xie Li!"

"Xiaoli, good evening." Xie Li suppressed those emotions, looked down at the little girl, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Xiaoli has grown beautiful again."

"No." Despite saying this, Yu Li still smiled happily.

Xie Li glanced at Yu Rui who was standing outside the door, "Are you planning to go out for dinner?"

Yu Rui raised his eyes, his eyes and tone were calm, "Do you have any other opinions?"

Xie Li regretted, "I still prefer you to do it yourself."

Yu Rui: "..."

Yu Rui pretended not to hear the ambiguity in these words, turned around and took Yu Li's hand, "Let's go, Xiao Li."

"Is Brother Xie Li with us?"

"Ah."

"That's great!"

"..."

Yu Rui lowered his eyes helplessly.

Someone noticed his complicated mood and laughed muffledly beside him.

Yu Rui ignored it.

-

Two blocks away from Yu Rui's home, there is a private kitchen restaurant that has been open for several years.The environment in the store is quiet, the price is affordable, the tables and chairs are always clean and tidy, and the dishes served are also plain and reveal the owner's intentions.

Occasionally, when Yu Rui has time, he will bring Yu Li here to "reward".

After a long time, coupled with the unforgettable personalities of the two brothers and sisters, the store manager also became acquainted with them.

As soon as I entered the store today, the store manager greeted Yu Rui, "Xiao Yu, did you bring your sister over for dinner? It's been a while since you guys came."

"The new semester is busy." Yu Rui smiled faintly.

"It seems that I'm busy, I came so late." The store manager came out with a smile, and took a clean rag to wipe the adjacent table, "You guys sit down—"

After a pause, the store manager looked unexpectedly at the handsome boy who came in behind the curtain.

Yu Rui explained, "My friend, you came here with me tonight."

"Oh, so. What do you want to eat today?"

Yu Rui raised his eyes and smiled, "It's still up to you. What ingredients are there today, follow your recipe."

"Are there any taboos for new friends?"

Yu Rui looked back at Xie Li.

Xie Li paused, shook his head, "No."

"Okay, then sit down for a while and come up soon."

"No hurry, store manager, take your time."

The shop manager's craftsmanship is beautiful and neat. The three of them didn't wait too long. Three bowls of steaming wonton noodles were served on the table with some exquisite side dishes.

The chopsticks cage was in a corner of the shop, Yu Rui went to wash his hands, took out the chopsticks from the clean chopsticks cage, and then returned to the table.

When he came back, he heard the store manager chatting with Xie Li about the methods and skills of this wonton noodle and those side dishes.

Yu Rui was used to Xie Li's indifference to others in school, but now that person rarely listened seriously, occasionally answering questions - it was enough face.

Yu Rui's heart moved slightly, but he didn't reveal anything emotionally.

He walked back to the table and handed the chopsticks to Yu Li and Xie Li.

The store manager stopped talking, and when he saw Yu Rui coming back, he smiled and said, "Xiao Yu, your friend is nice and knowledgeable, you have to socialize with him more, and bring him over more often in the future."

Yu Rui glanced at Xie Li, nodded, and smiled very lightly, "Understood, manager."

The store manager is unrepentant.

"It's strange to say that it's the first time I saw Xiaoyu bring friends over - what's your relationship?"

"..."

Xie Li stopped chopsticks, raised his eyes, and looked at Yu Rui with a half-smile.
