What Comes Around Goes Around

"What the hell is this? It's already beginning of spring and it's still snowing." Qin Ziyang didn't come to the company until eleven o'clock this morning, rubbing his frozen red hands and jogging all the way into the office. Seeing Jiang Ke wearing a coat as if he was going out, he wondered Said, "It's almost noon, why are you going?"

"I made an appointment with someone," Jiang Ke said, "Why did you come here?"

"Overslept this morning."

Qin Ziyang smiled a bit cheaply and embarrassedly, Jiang Ke understood it at a glance, and teased him around the corner: "Your Song He Nan is really not old."

"It's not old at all..."

Just as Qin Ziyang finished the first half of the sentence, Jiang Ke, who had already stepped out of the door, snatched the second half of the sentence, "The next sentence should be 'I'm in good health!' Bye."

"...Damn!" Qin Ziyang only had time to protest to his back.

The weather was bad, Jiang Ke didn't drive, and when he came out of the subway station, the snowflakes that had been drifting all morning finally stopped for a while.But after a meal of entertainment, the snow was heavier than in the morning.Jiang Ke didn't go far when snow fell all over his head.

There is a middle school along the street nearby, and there are usually not many people on the playground at noon in winter, probably because of the snow today, Jiang Ke could hear the laughter and slapstick across the road.He pulled back the coat and hat that was buttoned on his head, turned his head to look over, and saw a group of students having a snowball fight, it was very lively.

Jiang Ke glanced at it for a few times, and just turned his face away, when he was turned back again by a sudden howl.It turned out that a few boys got together to fight, and someone stuffed the snowball into another collar, which made the person who was iced screamed.

Jiang Ke couldn't help being taken aback, he remembered that he used to "play" with his classmates like this.But the person he teased didn't immediately throw a snowball at the others like the boy he had done, and continue the game with a full face of dissatisfaction. Instead, he just gave a "hiss" and endured it silently.It's still hard for Jiang Ke to imagine what kind of mood that person would have looked at him at that time.

"It's snowing, it's snowing."

Half a month before the final exam, in math class on Thursday afternoon, the snow that the students had been looking forward to all day finally fell.Several sharp-eyed people saw it first and murmured softly. After a while, the attention of half the class was caught by the snow outside the window.

In fact, the students are not to blame. At the end of each term, the weekly free activity class is often ruthlessly occupied by teachers of various subjects.During self-study this morning, the head teacher casually made a promise: If it snows today, the activity class will continue as usual.The students had been looking forward to it all day, and seeing that the promise was about to be fulfilled, they all prayed helplessly that the snow would not stop—it would fall more heavily!

The homeroom teacher knocked on the desk, with a serious expression on his face, asking the people below to pay attention, until the end of the class, he said with an expression of "I really can't help you": "Seeing that your hearts are flying out, forget it, Wear more clothes for the next class, don't catch a cold." As soon as the words fell, before the person got off the podium, the pot exploded, full of all kinds of flattering words praising the wiseness of the head teacher.

Jiang Ke and a group of boys rushed out of the classroom by stepping on the get out of class bell, and chased them to the playground, laughing and cursing a few obscenities from time to time.After a while of madness, when he was sitting on the parallel bars to take a break from the fire, he caught a glimpse of Zong Kai not far away wearing a hat and gloves and wrapping himself like a ball.With a thought, he jumped off the parallel bars and walked towards Zong Kai.

"Hey, why are you going?" a companion behind him called him.

Jiang Ke turned around with a smirk and said, "Go and have some fun."

"Where is the fun? Let's go together!" When they heard this, they all clapped the snow on their hands and followed.

Zong Kai was standing in front of the flag-raising platform, stomping his feet and talking to people from other shifts, not paying attention to the situation behind him at all.Jiang Ke stared at him not far or near for half a minute, then suddenly raised his arm, gathered a handful of snow from the side railing, rolled it a few times to make it firm, and then unexpectedly smashed it towards Zong Kai's knee.

Zong Kai bent his leg, obviously startled, and immediately looked down, probably thinking that someone was playing crazy and didn't pay attention to chopping the wrong target, and didn't care, patted Yu Xue who was stuck on the school uniform pants, and continued to turn back talk to people.

Jiang Ke squinted his eyes, very annoyed by this ignorance, and immediately nodded to a few partners around him.The few friends didn't think much about it, they just thought it was a sneak attack and prank.So half a minute later, Zong Kai was attacked by several waves on his legs, back, and even the back of his head.Only then did he feel something was wrong, and when he turned around to look at the situation, he met Jiang Ke's gaze.

Jiang Ke was looking at him with a big snowball bouncing in his hand.Seeing this, the boy who had been talking to Zong Kai thought he was here to play with Zong Kai, so he patted Zong Kai on the shoulder and walked away.

"Hey school committee, don't just stare at the books all day long, move your hands." Jiang Ke's opening remarks broke the stiff atmosphere between the two.But he didn't know if it was an illusion, he seemed to catch Zong Kai's frown, but he let it go quickly.

The other students were not aware of the entanglement between the two, so they echoed what they said, and pulled Zong Kai to play with them.Zong Kai looked a little reluctant, but he didn't disappoint in the end, but he was obviously absent-minded, with a snowball in his hand, but his eyes kept aiming at Jiang Ke's direction, as if he was subconsciously preventing him from attacking him.

Jiang Ke thought to himself that this person is not too stupid.

But when he was so distracted, Zong Kai's accuracy and speed were naturally inferior to those of the others. After a while, the battle situation became several people besieging him alone.But it's no fun to fight around one person all the time. The other people quickly turned their heads and started attacking each other, laughing and beating and cursing.

The more they quarreled, the more nobody paid attention to Zong Kai.Jiang Ke happened to lean over, knowingly asked: "You just kept looking at me. Why?"

"..." Zong Kai didn't say a word, and unconsciously took half a step back.

Jiang Ke followed immediately.After a few back and forth, the distance between the two became closer and closer.Zong Kai came to his senses and did not retreat.

"Go ahead and hide." Jiang Ke's tone was somewhat provocative.

Zong Kai glanced around and said in a low voice, "What else do you want to do? I've already fetched water and food for you, and even cleaned for you."

"That doesn't count, I haven't figured out what to ask you to do."

"You..." Zong Kai finally frowned again, "Don't go too far."

Jiang Ke saw Zong Kai's impatient expression for the first time, and thought it was quite interesting. He stared at him for a while, and then suddenly ordered: "You make a snowball, the bigger the better."

Zong Kai didn't know where he was coming from, so he just stood there in a daze.Jiang Ke urged: "Hurry up."

Zong Kai had no choice but to hold a handful of snow balls on the flag-raising platform.

Jiang Ke said, "Make another one."

Zong Kai rolled another snowball full of surprise, and then placed two snowballs on the table.In fact, when Jiang Ke asked him to make snowballs, he didn't even think about what to do, but the classmates who were playing around reminded him, and he suddenly came up with an idea.

"Stuff it in your clothes."

Jiang Ke spoke lightly, Zong Kai thought he had heard wrong, his eyes widened, and asked him, "What?"

"I said stuff it in your clothes."

"..." Zong Kai didn't speak, and looked at Jiang Ke very unwillingly.

"Don't make me do it."

In fact, Jiang Ke was not particularly confident when he said these orders, but he didn't know what was wrong with him. Seeing Zong Kai's bewildered expression, he couldn't help but want to bully him, and wanted to test how far he could endure .

Zong Kai seemed to be having a psychological struggle. Jiang Ke thought that he would run away anyway this time, but Zong Kai bit his lip, and actually reached out and took a snowball, gritted his teeth and stuffed it in from the hem of his school uniform. Immediately, he was frozen to the waist.

"It doesn't count through the clothes."

Jiang Ke took an inch and grabbed another snowball and stuffed it from Zong Kai's back collar.Now there is no underwear between them, the snowball is directly attached to the warm meat on the back, Zong Kai couldn't help "hissing" several times because of the cold, he didn't know for a while whether it should be a waist or a belly, The taste of front and rear flanking is too ecstasy.

"I didn't ask you to take it out, I can see you." Before leaving, Jiang Ke warned him.

Zong Kai was so busy enduring the cold that he didn't even have the strength to retaliate.Jiang Ke walked back to the parallel bars, leaned on them and stared at Zong Kai.He wondered in his heart: Did peeking at the paper scare him like this?Even if he is afraid of affecting his image, he can bear it if he fetches water for sanitation or something. How can he bear such blatant bullying?Why?However, the more he held back his silence, the more irritable Jiang Ke became, and the more angry he looked at him.Not only did he not understand Zong Kai, he also could not understand himself.

I didn’t know how long I stood on the side of the road like this, and all the memories flashed through my mind for a long time before Jiang Ke came back to his senses, grabbed a small handful of snow from the flower bed beside the road, lowered his head and spread it on his neck .

"Hiss!" It really didn't feel good.

At this time, Zong Kai had just returned to his office after lunch, and for some reason suddenly sneezed three times in a row.

"Have a cold?" The colleague next to me heard concern, "It's cold these days, wear more."

"Thank you."

Zong Kai said politely, got up and went to the bathroom, only to notice heavy snow outside the window when he came back.The same scene was also recalled from his memory.In fact, he couldn't remember Xueqiu's coldness for a long time. What impressed him deeply was everything after returning home that day.

The activity class was the last class. After class, the students went back to the classroom to get their schoolbags and rushed to the school gate.Zong Kai didn't linger too long, he packed his schoolbag and went directly to the car storage - he didn't have time to wait for the heating to dry his clothes, because then he would be late returning home.When he thought of his father's involuntary scolding, he was terrified, and he would rather go home in cold, wet clothes.

He developed a high fever that night.

That was the first time that Zong Kai asked for leave due to illness since he was studying.After going to school again, Jiang Ke didn't bother him for several days, and didn't even ask him to help him drink water.The two only met eyes a few times from a distance, but Jiang Ke always walked away as if nothing had happened after looking at him for a few times.

This calm lasted until the final exam.After the exam, it was Zong Kai's most nervous time.His ranking this time was the same as the midterm exam, he was second in the class, but his ranking in the grade dropped out of the top ten.After the parent-teacher meeting that day, the mother and son walked towards the parking lot one after the other.Zongmu walked in front, and Zong Kai followed behind with his head down, feeling uneasy all the way.He could feel his mother's dissatisfaction, but his mother never criticized him in public, and everything had to be settled when he got home.

As he walked, Zong Kai's eyes that were originally staring at the ground began to flutter.He caught a glimpse of someone who looked like Jiang Ke walking on the sidewalk across the road.He unconsciously glanced a few more times, and it was really him——Jiang Ke was carrying a schoolbag, walking boldly in front, followed by a middle-aged woman more than one meter away, who seemed submissive, but the parents would meet Shi Zong Kai saw it, it was Jiang Ke's mother.

Zong Kai saw the woman catch up two steps from time to time, talking to Jiang Ke.Jiang Ke looked impatient, sometimes he waved his hands, and sometimes he turned his head to say a few words, but he could tell from his attitude that he had a bad attitude.

This kind of mother-child relationship shocked Zong Kai to some extent. This was a scene that had never appeared in his home and would never appear.He couldn't help staring at the opposite side all the way, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he was, but at the end he silently thought: This person can have such an attitude towards his mother, so it's not unusual to play tricks on him.

Why do you remember this scene so well?Zong Kai is also confused.These past events, which have been no longer recalled for a long time, have always come to mind intentionally or unintentionally since meeting Jiang Ke again.

In fact, apart from a little setback in his self-esteem, Zong Kai really couldn't afford any feeling of holding grudges.He felt more like bewitched.Because he actually felt that Jiang Ke, who was emotionally unhappy in his memories, was a little...cute.
