know the enemy

Most of the students who entered Nanxiang High School were students from the junior high school.

Lu Jia and Feng Yucen were assigned to one class, and Bai Yi was assigned to another class. The three of them would occasionally get together for lunch at noon.

Since Bai Yi grew taller, his appearance has improved a lot, and he is quite popular with girls in school.

Lu Jia originally thought that Bai Yi would get a girlfriend soon, but it's been a month since school started, and Bai Yi just didn't move at all.

With a heart of gossip, Lu Jia asked Bai Yi why he didn't have a girlfriend anymore, and Bai Yi asked Lu Jia, "Then why don't you find a girlfriend?"

Luke: "I'm still young."

Bai Yi, who just turned 15 this year: "..."

On the contrary, Feng Yucen fell in love with a senior who was one level higher than her, and went to the playground every day to seek chance encounters, even when he saw Lu Jia and Bai Yi at noon, he didn't say hello, saying that he was afraid of being misunderstood by the senior.

Bai Yi sneered, put his hand on Lu Jia's shoulder: "You think too much."

Feng Yucen gave Bai Yi a middle finger and kicked Bai Yi.

Bai Yi bared his teeth and grinned: "I didn't say... what's wrong with both of you, why did you hit me without seeing you two fighting each other?"

Luke spread his hands innocently: "I'm used to it."

Feng Yucen imitated Lu Jia and spread his hands: "I learned from Lu Jia."

Bai Yi: "..."

The university that Mu Wenran attended is far away from home and closer to the suburbs, so accommodation is inevitable. Freshman courses are so full that it is difficult to go home on Saturdays and Sundays.

During the weekend holiday, Lu Jia was lying in bed with nothing to do. Thinking that he hadn't seen Mu Wenran for a long time, he immediately went out with his schoolbag and took the bus to the gate of Mu Wenran's school, only to realize that he hadn't asked if Mu Wenran was at school.

Lu Jia stood at the school gate, sighed and shook his head: "Mistake, oh mistake."

After dialing Mu Wenran's phone number, Lu Jia raised a smiley face: "Hello? Brother."

Mu Wenran: "..."

Mu Wenran: "What?"

Luke: "Where are you now?"

Mu Wenran was silent for a moment, and asked, "Have you come to our school?"

Luke's smile couldn't hold back: "... nothing."

Ten minutes later, Lu Jia was brought into the school by Mu Wenran.

Mu Wenran: "Come right here, what are you hiding?"

"If you're not at school, wouldn't I be embarrassed." Lu Jia followed Mu Wenran.

After walking for a while, Mu Wenran asked, "What's in the schoolbag?"

Lu Jia shrank his neck: "Homework."

Mu Wenran stopped in his tracks: "Today is Sunday."

Luke nodded: "I know, so I came here to ask you for help."

Mu Wenran stared at Lu Jia. His expressionless eyes made many people feel uncomfortable. Lu Jia was used to it, but he felt guilty before finishing his homework and dared not look directly at Mu Wenran.

Mu Wenran withdrew his gaze, turned and went in another direction.

Lu Jia was extremely frightened, followed up and asked, "Are you going to take me back to do my homework?"

"Where are you going?"

"Home."

Mu Wenran patted him on the head: "Go to the library."

Lu Jia instantly turned bitter: "I really want to write."

For a whole afternoon, Lu Jia was overwhelmed by math problems, until the end of writing, his mind was muddled, and he couldn't figure out the last problem.

Mu Wenran looked at him with his chin propped up, Lu Jia frowned more and more, and finally looked at Mu Wenran as if asking for help.

Mu Wenran opened his mouth, Lu Jia was eagerly looking forward to it.

Mu Wenran: "Why don't you cry?"

Luke: "..."

Luke: "Because I'm already a mature 16-year-old."

Mu Wenran: "Oh." He picked up Lu Jia's draft paper and wrote a few strokes, "That's the calculation."

Luke: "... I can thank you."

After coming out of the library, the two of them went to the cafeteria.The university cafeteria is much larger than the high school cafeteria, and Lu Jia went around twice but still didn't decide what to eat.Mu Wenran followed him all the time, he turned his head startled, stammered and asked, "Eat, what are you eating?"

"Choose yourself."

After finally ordering food and finding a seat to sit down, Lu Jia asked while eating, "Do you usually come to eat with your roommates?"

Mu Wenran raised his eyes: "No."

"Oh, you're alone again." Lu Jiasai took a bite of his meal, and suddenly approached Mu Wenran, "Can't you smile more?"

Mu Wenran raised one corner of his mouth.

Lu Jia put the spoon in his mouth, clapped his hands, and said inarticulately: "Yes, yes, yes."

Mu Wenran took the spoon out of his mouth: "Eat well."

When it was time to go back, Mu Wenran accompanied Lu Jia to wait for the bus at the station.

When the bus reached the corner, Lu Jia turned his head and said, "I didn't come to you today because of homework."

The bus stopped beside them, and Lu Jia waved his hand at Mu Wenran: "Just because I want to see you."

Mu Wenran laughed as the car door closed.

Luke is always so frank, saying what he has to say.

He said he wanted to see him, so he came.

In the past six months, Lu Jia would occasionally visit Mu Wenran's school, and even entered the classroom, listened to a class, and fell asleep at the end.

Bai Yi has never had a girlfriend. He heard that his ex wanted to get back together with him, but he refused. Feng Yucen managed to have a good relationship with his senior.

On the day of the final exam, Lu Jia met Fang Ren.

The exam time was at [-]:[-] in the morning, and Lu Jia left home at [-]:[-]. When he got on the bus, he heard someone calling him, and he turned his head.

"I haven't seen you in a few months, don't you know me?" Fang Ren greeted him with a smile, and Lu Jia sat next to him, "That's not true."

Fang Ren changed his hairstyle and stopped wearing school uniform. Lu Jia did not recognize him at first glance.

When Fang Ren saw Lu Jia's school uniform, he knew that he was directly promoted, and said with a smile: "I am in the university not far from your school, and Xiong Nanyue is also there." Xiong Nanyue is Brother Xiong.

Lu Jia got out of the car first, and before leaving, Qian Ren said: "I'll go and play with you when I have time."

Lu Jia knew that this was a polite remark, but he still responded with a smile: "Okay."

He quite likes making friends, so he doesn't understand why Mu Wenran can always be alone.

It's so lonely alone.

During the Chinese New Year, Lu Jia went to his grandparents’ house as usual, and was cared for one by one by his relatives. He was also asked about the current situation of his uncle’s house. Lu Jia picked up some irrelevant questions and answered them, and smiled at other times.

His grandparents are not the only grandson, and he is not the one who is closest to them.Putting the child in someone else's house will inevitably create distance. As Lu Jia grows older, his grandparents treat him more like a guest.

Although he will be disappointed, Luke understands that he has gained enough and should be content.

On the night when he returned to Bai's house, Lu Jia lay on the bed after washing and called Mu Wenran.

When the phone was dialed, Lu Jia said, "I'm going home, and I'll go play with you tomorrow."

"Ah."

"..." Lu Jia turned around and lay on his side, his fine eyelashes trembling slightly, "Then I'll go after breakfast tomorrow."

"Are you crying?"

Lu Jia was stunned: "No."

"Hmm." Through the phone, Mu Wenran's voice was a little distorted, but he could still hear his gentle tone, which seemed to be whispering. He probably didn't notice it himself, but just instinctively said, "That's good."

Lu Jia rolled on the bed, thinking how could Mu Wenran's voice be so nice, his heart was about to melt.

Lu Jia made a gesture of holding his heart, and after a while, he remembered that he was still on the phone, so he hurriedly picked up the phone and said, "Why do you think I'm crying?"

Mu Wenran couldn't say, it was just his feeling.

He is used to observing words and expressions in his hometown, but often chooses to ignore other people's emotions and not to participate, but now the person talking to him on the phone is Lu Jia, and he wants to ask if there is anything wrong with Lu Jia's tone.

Seeing that Mu Wenran didn't speak, Lu Jia took the initiative to say: "You think too much, I'm too old to stop crying."

What he said was too absolute, Mu Wenran casually said "um" and didn't take it seriously.

"You don't believe me?" Lu Jia said categorically, "I'm sure I won't cry, and if you see me cry again, I'll be a dog!" He played a trick, saying that Mu Wenran only counts when he sees himself crying.

However, the facts proved that Lu Jia really had the talent to slap himself, and within a few months, he really became a "puppy".
