happy event in pairs

Chapter 38 Substitutes

Dong Xishuang walked on campus.Wearing a white short-sleeved hooded T, a black canvas backpack, and beige shorts, the calf below the knee is smooth and straight, with no hair visible, and the slender ankle bones are exposed on the green-tailed white shoes. The person is full of juvenile feeling, immature and pure.

He walked to the welcome area at the square and looked around. The crowd was silent for a moment, and there were faint exclamations and whispers from girls. Immediately, someone came up and asked him: "Student, which college are you a freshman from?"

"Ah?" Dong Xishuang didn't speak, but when he spoke, he immediately revealed his cute nature: "I... I'm not a freshman..."

"Dumb! Here!" Not far ahead, Memorial Qi waved to him wearing a T-shirt with the college logo on it.

"Isn't your college over there? Why did you come here and get lost again?" Ji Jiqi pulled him to stand under the shadow of the tree.

"Well, I'm done. I'll take over after three o'clock in the afternoon. I want to meet you for lunch."

A tall boy next to him came over with a bottle of mineral water and passed it into his small hands, while looking him up and down: "Ji Jiqi, is this your brother? He looks so cute."

Ji Jiqi snatched the water from his hand and twisted it away: "This one has an owner, you have nothing to do - drink it."

Xiao Shuang took a sip of the water, and saw a person in a takeaway overalls coming over with a big bag of lunch, and asked, "Are you unable to leave? Then I'll go find Luyu?"

Memorial Qi said: "It's okay, I'll hang out for a while, let's find Luyu together."

He went back to say hello, and the girls sitting behind the table smiled and waved at Dong Xi: "Little handsome guy, come play again in the afternoon!"

There were not many people in the cafeteria, and the air conditioner was fully turned on. The three of them sat by the window and ate some fried food.

Lu Yu unbuttoned his shirt to reveal a silver chain with a ring on it, took out a tissue to wipe the sweat on the back of his neck, and asked, "When will Brother Xiao come back?"

"Well, I left yesterday, maybe three or four days." Dong Xishuang was a little wilted, pulling the rice grains in the bowl with his chopsticks.

Memorial Qila let out a long voice: "I said, how did you realize that you wanted to come to me in conscience? It turns out that your husband is on a business trip."

Xiao Shuang gave him a foolish smile and acted cutely.

"Go! Do this trick every time!" Ji Jiqi slapped his face and pushed him, and then asked: "The class will start soon, why is he on a business trip at this time?"

Dong Xishuang looked confused: "It seems that he has some kind of company and doesn't know what's going on."

Lu Yu explained: "He invested in a VR game company a few years ago, and it is going to be round B recently, so it's probably time to talk about it."

Dong Xishuang sighed at the right time, and Ji Jiqi squinted at him angrily: "Isn't it you? You seem to have lost your soul just after leaving for a day. If you don't come back, you are still alive? In front of the two of us you It's too embarrassing to be lovesick, who is worse than you?"

He just said it casually, who knew that the crow's mouth would come true, Xiao Jun had planned a three or four day itinerary, but he disappeared as soon as he went.

When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Dong Xishuang left the classroom, looked around in confusion, and sighed.He walked out of the teaching building listlessly, looked at the sky, and sighed again.

Xiao Jun had been away for a week, and he only called him and chatted with him for half an hour after getting off the plane on the first day, and there was no news after that.At first, Dong Xishuang was afraid to contact him because he was afraid of delaying his affairs. Three days later, at ten o'clock in the evening, he sent a WeChat message asking him if everything was going well and when he would come back. Word: Something is up.To be determined.

Dong Xishuang didn't know whether he was too busy or encountered some difficulties, so he was thinking wildly and worrying here.He had long been used to the days when Xiao Jun was by his side. Even during the few days when he went home during the summer vacation, the two of them kept sending messages, and every night Xiao Jun would chat with him until he fell asleep with the video on.It was too much for him to get used to disappearing without hearing from him for a week like this.

I miss him so much, I can't stand it.Dong Xishuang stares at the mobile phone in a daze during the day, and at night hugs Xiao Jun's clothes and loses sleep. One night, he shed two drops of tears.

He stood at the entrance of the teaching building and looked at the sky for a while. During dinner time, the bustling crowd of people rushed towards the cafeteria. Dong Xishuang was not hungry at all, and followed the crowd for a while like a wandering spirit, then turned and went to the library.

There were not many people in the library. Dong Xishuang read the book for a while, but couldn't read it in a mess, and lay down on the table to look through the few statuses in Xiao Jun's circle of friends. The most recent one was one from two months ago. In this photo, I sat with my back to the camera under the vast starry sky on the grassland, only showing a black head.

He looked at the photo and giggled for a few seconds, finally calmed down, opened the book and started to do his homework.

I don't know how long it took, the lights in the library were turned on, and the snow was bright in an instant. Dong Xishuang took a breath and came back to his senses, raised his head and looked out the window, touched his flat stomach, and remembered that Xiao Jun had told him to eat well before he left, and dawdled Rubbing away the books spread out on the table.

He walked to the bookshelf holding the book he wanted to put back, and a boy stood beside him with his back facing him. His eyes lit up, he walked over, pointed his finger on the man's shoulder and whispered, "Luyu!"

When the man turned his head, Xiao Shuang was stunned.

like!Forget about the back image, but the front face looks alike!

The boy who was called by the wrong name looked at Dong Xishuang's dazed face with an inscrutable expression for a while, and whispered two words: "It's you."

"Ah?" Dong Xishuang didn't hear clearly, and immediately realized: "Oh, I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person."

The boy seemed very satisfied with this "acknowledgment of his mistake", he pulled the corner of his mouth very lightly, said "it's okay", and walked away rubbing his shoulder.

Dong Xishuang stared blankly holding the book for a while, thinking that at night he must send a WeChat message to tell Luyu about the adventure, then turned and went to the cafeteria.

Coincidentally, there were very few people in the cafeteria at this time, and Dong Xishuang just sat down with the plate in his hand when he found that the boy he had just met was sitting on the table obliquely in front of him.

It really looks like it. Dong Xishuang couldn't help peeking. He didn't wear glasses, and the light was dim, so he couldn't see the other person's facial features clearly. He only felt that the hair style was similar, and the style of clothing was also similar. Occasionally, he looked down at a certain angle of his face. Like to not work.

The boy seemed to feel that Dong Xishuang was peeking at him, so he raised his eyes to look over.Dong Xishuang was caught and stood there dumbfounded, not knowing that the rice grains on the chopsticks fell on the table.

The boy smiled, came over with a plate and sat down, and greeted him: "Hello."

"Uh..." Dong Xishuang finally came to his senses, frantically picked up the rice grains on the table, and moved the plate towards him.

"There's more here." The boy reached out and took off a grain of rice from his mouth, and wiped his fingers with a paper towel.

"Oh..." Dong Xishuang touched the place he touched with a little embarrassment, "Thank you..."

"You're welcome."

Dong Xishuang stared blankly at the other person's face, and it didn't look so similar when he looked at it so close. His facial features were not as neat and detailed as Luyu's, his skin was not as white as Luyu's, and... for some reason, the boy's face gave people a strange look. It is similar to artificially modified, with a faint sense of disobedience, like imitation of broken porcelain, but the shape of the vessel is still there, but the details are rough and lack charm.

For Xiao Shuang's almost offensive direct gaze, the boy was not angry, but just looked back calmly, with deep eyes and complicated meanings.

The two had a brief chat, exchanging names and departments. The boy's name was Song Ji. Dong Xishuang saw the other party's mature demeanor, and thought he was a senior or at least at the same level. After chatting, he realized that he was actually a freshman.

Song Ji was a little surprised to see him, and said calmly, "I repeated it for a year."

Dong Xishuang felt a little strange. Since he met Song Ji that night, he has been meeting him in various places recently. On the way to Shaw Building for class in the morning, he walked not far in front; Stopping him from talking, when he turned his head, Song Ji was passing him down the stairs with a book in his arms; he was going to the printing agency in Ximen to print materials, and when he went out with his head down, he almost bumped into someone's arms. When he looked up, it was Song Ji again.

The two met more times by chance, and gradually became the kind of relationship where they would nod when they met each other.

In the evening, he called Lu Yu to talk about it, and Lu Yu told him with a smile that this phenomenon is called "retinal effect" in psychology.It wasn't that they had more chance encounters than others, but that he just happened to pay more attention to this person.

"Don't be too interested in others, Brother Xiao will be jealous when he comes back." Lu Yu teased him with a smile.

Xiao Shuang suddenly remembered that the last time he went to his senior brother, Xiao Jun was jealous and said that he would put him in his pocket and carry him with him, blushing and stammering: "No...it won't be..." I don't know if it means Xiao Jun won't be jealous or I am not interested in others.

There was no class in the afternoon that day. After dinner, Dong Xishuang went to Boya Hall to read the latest books. He was fascinated by the books, and he woke up when his legs were sore. He rubbed his eyes and held the selected books I went to the front desk to pay, and when I walked forward, I stepped on something, and my body tilted, almost twisting my foot.

Looking down, it was a brown leather wallet.He tucked the book under his arm and squatted down, picked it up and looked around. Everyone around him was reading the book quietly, not like the owner.

He opened his wallet to see if there was a student card, but he was stunned when he opened it.

There is a photo embedded in the transparent interlayer on the left side of the wallet. The person in the photo is very familiar, and it is Xiao Jun.Dong Xishuang's heart beat wildly in an instant, all the blood in his body rushed to his feet, and his fingertips shivered from the cold.He brought the photo closer, yes, it can't be wrong, it was a bust, Xiao Jun turned his face halfway and didn't look at the camera, his face was always indifferent, but Xiao Shuang had been with him for a long time, You can see that his eyes are focused and gentle.

Footsteps approached and stopped in front of Dong Xishuang.

"I lost the wallet." The voice rang above his head.

Dong Xishuang looked up blankly, looking at Song Ji's face that looked like Luyu.

Song Ji took the wallet from his stiff hand, and took out his student card to show him: "Here's the proof." After speaking, he put the wallet away, as if he didn't notice Dong Xishuang's abnormal expression, and said softly with a smile: "Thank you. Fortunately, you picked it up. The things here are very important to me."

The heavy book collapsed from Dong Xishuang's arms and fell to the ground.It attracted the attention of the people around.

Xiao Shuang knelt down numbly, picked up the books and hugged them in her arms.Song Ji bent over to pick up a little English red book beside his feet, and dusted off the cover.

Xiao Shuang stood up and looked at the book in his hand. Song Ji didn't seem to have any intention of returning it to him, and said softly, "Thank you for returning the wallet to me. I'll treat you to coffee."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xiaoshuang's answer, he turned around and walked to the front desk, and put the little red book at the cash register.

Dong Xishuang walked out of the bookstore carrying a heavy plastic bag.In mid-September, the autumn tiger is in full swing, and the scorching sun at two o'clock in the afternoon makes the eyes white.He covered his eyes with his hands, and in a trance, he saw Song Ji in front of him looking back at him with a mocking smile.His heart trembled, and there was a kind of fear for no reason, as if standing in front of him was not a person, but a bottomless abyss.

Shen Yuan waved at him, and the voice seemed to come from a dream: "Is the coffee under Baidao okay?"

It's like a dream.Dong Xishuang was still in a trance until he sat in the air-conditioned cafe.Holding the last sliver of fantasy, he stared down at the brown wallet on the table and asked dreamily, "Who are you in the photo?"

Song Ji curled his mouth to admire the anxious expression on the boy's face. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time, but he didn't expect that when it actually happened, the joy it would bring him was [-] times stronger than he imagined.

He opened his wallet, stroked the photo lightly with his fingers, and said in a gentle and cruel tone, "He...is someone I like—sorry, I didn't scare you." His apology was not sincere, and even a little joking .

Dong Xishuang shook his head with all his strength, holding up a far-fetched smile that was more pitiful than crying:

"No...then, he knows you...do you like him?"

"Of course." Song Ji leaned on the table and approached Xiao Shuang: "We have been together before."

Dong Xishuang's body and soul seemed to be completely isolated.He stared blankly at the ice cubes floating on the coffee, thinking that it was time to go, it was almost time for class, let's go now.But the body seemed to be cast by a spell, unable to move.

Song Ji's voice continued to speak, every sentence was like a knife, nailed precisely and firmly to the heart.

"He is a very persistent person. He can silently stay by the side of the person he likes for three years and wait for him to grow up. Even if that person is with someone else now, he still gives up his future and is willing to spend time here with him."

"But he probably didn't expect that someone would be more persistent than him. He came here for others, and I came here for him."

"He will always find the most similar substitute, so I spent a whole year trying to make myself exactly like the person he likes."

"I am the person who loves him the most in this world. For him, I am willing to completely give up myself."

Song Ji's mobile phone next to the white porcelain coffee cup lights up, and on the screen is Xiao Jun's photo, he is smiling, with a relaxed and happy expression, and the clothes he is wearing are newly bought before taking Xiaoshuang to the grassland during the summer vacation T-shirt.

"Look." Song Ji pointed the phone at Dong Xishuang's pale face, and there was a flight information displayed on it: "He knows I'm coming, and he will be back soon."

Dong Xishuang walked on the road, his eyes were empty, as if his soul had been sucked out.He wondered blankly: Which upstairs is the class at three o'clock?I'm going to be late, so hurry up.After walking a few steps, I stopped to look at my hands. Where is the newly bought book?Where did it land?Bookstore or coffee shop?I have to go find it.No, let's go to class first, we're going to be late.

He went around in circles like a headless fly, and finally came to the second teaching building. When the three o'clock class bell rang from the building, he suddenly felt that he had no strength in his body, and he couldn't take a step.

He sat on the steps at the entrance of the building, took out his mobile phone, and unlocked it several times before he unlocked it. He dialed Xiao Jun's number as he did every time he felt helpless. The magnetic voice, which made him feel throbbing and reassuring every time he heard it, did not sound.

Dong Xishuang repeatedly dialed the phone until the sun set and dusk came, and the phone turned off automatically when its battery was exhausted.His fingers and legs were already numb, and the get out of class was over, and the classmates who were in class together asked him why he was sitting here and didn't go to class.He stood up on his knees, staggered, almost fell down the steps, laughed haha, and said dreamily: "I'm so stupid, I forgot which classroom I was in."

The author has something to say: Little Theater:
