No.70 days

The three got into the taxi, Yang Shuyi was in the passenger seat, Shao Wu and Zhu Jingjing were in the back row.

"Shao Wu...you're here..." Zhu Jingjing half-opened her eyes, and rubbed her cheek against Shao Wu's shoulder, and Shao Wu had no choice but to put one arm around her shoulder in order to prevent her from bumping her head.The pose of the two looks as close as possible.

Yang Shuyi sat in the co-pilot without saying a word, but his eyes fell on the two of them through the rearview mirror again and again, Shao Wu only looked at him and didn't dare to look up again——Yang Shuyi's eyes were so cold that they were like ice, Really, really scary.

Shao Wu thought frightenedly, where did he offend him?Not going to the wedding?Not at all, whether he will attend the wedding is his own business, and has nothing to do with Yang Shuyi in essence.So... Could it be because he and Zhu Jingjing are "in love"?

Could it be that Yang Shuyi is jealous?

The moment this idea came to his mind, Shao Wu himself laughed. He dared to imagine that Yang Shuyi was jealous of him, so after being single for a long time, he would have strange thoughts... How is it possible?If he really fell in love with Zhu Jingjing, Yang Shuyi would be very happy, right?Didn't he ask Longlong before if he had a girlfriend?This is not exactly what he wanted.

The man who liked him like a psychopath was finally "normal".

Shao Wu raised his eyes, and met Yang Shuyi's gaze again in the rearview mirror. Yang Shuyi's face was expressionless, and his dark eyes were not only cold, but also seemed to contain some complicated emotions, hidden deep, like rolling in the dark underground of hot magma.

Shao Wu felt more and more thorns on his back, and the heater in the taxi was turned on too high. He felt that his cheeks were hot, his ears were hot, and his breathing was a bit stuffy.

Shao Wu rolled down the car window, and the cold and clammy wind immediately poured in, making him much more comfortable.

However, within 2 minutes, the driver pressed a button, and the window "hum--" automatically went up.

Shao Wu: "..."

Shao Wu coughed in embarrassment: "Master, can you open the window, it's a bit stuffy."

"Hey, why are you so ignorant of taking care of people?" The gray-haired driver shook his head with a seasoned look, "Drunk people can't blow their hair, they are easy to catch a cold!"

Shao Wu didn't expect this, so he could only say, "Oh, then... thank you."

"Really, I have never been a father at first sight," the driver turned the steering wheel and continued, "It's okay if the wife is not pregnant, but if she is pregnant, then she can't blow her hair. Many pregnant women will have a miscarriage when they catch a cold! In the future When you become a father, you have to take care of these things..."

Why is this getting more and more outrageous?

Shao Wu quickly interrupted him, and changed the subject abruptly: "Yongchuan has changed so much in the past few years, I can hardly recognize this road." The "this road" he said is right in front of the gate of No. The highway, facing the river, night markets and stalls have been banned, replaced by neat and clean shops.

"Everywhere is demolished and rebuilt," the driver smiled, "Yongchuan has been getting better and better in the past few years."

"Well, this is indeed..."

A few minutes later, the taxi finally stopped at the gate of No. [-] Middle School. Yang Shuyi silently took out his wallet and paid the bill.

It was still raining, Shao Wu dragged Zhu Jingjing out in a bit of embarrassment, and Yang Shuyi held an umbrella for them beside him.

"Thank you..." Shao Wu whispered, "I'll just send her back to the dormitory."

Yang Shuyi: "Let's go together."

After this journey, his tone was not as cold as when he was in the restaurant.

The teacher's dormitory is in the community across the street from the school. Shao Wu knew that Zhu Jingjing's roommate was also a physical education teacher. It was raining today, so she definitely didn't have to go to class.Furthermore, it is not convenient for them two big men to enter the women's dormitory.

Shao Wu called his roommate, luckily, the roommate was in the dormitory, soon she came downstairs, together with Shao Wu, carried Zhu Jingjing back.

"Our classmate got married, I didn't expect her to drink so much." Standing at the door of the dormitory, Shao Wu asked the other party helplessly, "She might vomit later."

"Don't worry, I'm in the dormitory this afternoon."

"That's good... just call me if you have anything to do," Shao Wu nodded at her, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Helping them close the door, the corridor suddenly fell silent, and after a few seconds, even the voice-activated lights were turned off.Shao Wu looked down through the narrow window and saw Yang Shuyi holding an umbrella, standing there motionless.

It's a pity that the umbrella covered his face, and Shao Wu couldn't see his expression.

In just a few minutes, Shao Wu suddenly realized that there was another possibility.

Yang Shuyi thought he was lying to Zhu Jingjing?

That's right, there are indeed some gays who will pretend to be straight men and girls to marry and even have children. Think of him as this kind of person?

Unexpectedly, he is this kind of person in Yang Shuyi's eyes.

But it's not uncommon if you think about it carefully. If Yang Shuyi knew something about the gay circle, he would know how frivolous and indulgent it is. Probably nothing?

Shao Wu clenched his fists, stepped on the voice-activated light, and went downstairs.

He saw Yang Shuyi, and Yang Shuyi also saw him.But he found that he didn't even know what to call him, Yang Shuyi?It seems too blunt; Shuyi?He didn't dare to be so intimate with him.And——and why did Yang Shuyi follow, was it really to condemn him?It's so cold and rainy today, how hard it is.

"Shao Wu," it turned out that Yang Shuyi spoke first, "Come here."

His tone was normal.

Shao Wu walked into the rain, took a few steps, and walked under Yang Shuyi's umbrella.

Yang Shuyi was half a head taller than him, holding an umbrella. The two of them seemed to be enveloped in a small closed space. Yang Shuyi's eyes were tightly pressed down, which made him flustered and moved.

It's been too long, too long since I looked at Yang Shuyi so closely.

Shao Wu didn't realize that he swallowed his saliva.

"Find a convenient place to talk," Yang Shuyi looked away, "I have something to tell you."

"Ah - good, good," Shao Wu was stunned, "Is a coffee shop okay, there is a coffee shop in front of the school."

"can."

Shao Wu led Yang Shuyi to the coffee shop, but Yang Shuyi stopped within a few steps, stretched out his index finger and tapped lightly on Shao Wu's arm: "Your clothes are wet."

Indeed, when Shao Wu went to the cafeteria for lunch, he didn't wear a coat, but only a woolen jacket. He originally thought about having a meal, and returned to the office after eating.

On the way to send Zhu Jingjing back to the dormitory from the hotel, she was hugged and dragged and drenched in a lot of rain.At this moment, both arms of the woolen coat were soaked and fell heavily.

It's embarrassing enough.

Shao Wu wiped the rain from his face and asked Yang Shuyi: "Then shall I go back to the dormitory and change clothes first?"

But Yang Shuyi asked back as if he had made a mistake: "Can I visit your dormitory?"

"..."

Shao Wu is really confused, what's so good about his dormitory?And he was going back to change clothes - didn't Yang Shuyi feel a little embarrassed?

Oh, by the way, for straight men, the matter of men changing clothes is nothing.

Shao Wu bit the bullet and said: "If you want to see it, go upstairs together." Fortunately, his roommate has gone out to study these few days and is not in the dormitory at all.

The teacher's dormitory in No. [-] Middle School is no better than the student dormitory - it was originally remodeled from the student dormitory.Shaowu lives on the second floor, on the shady side, and it often rains in Yongchuan, so as soon as he enters the door, he can smell a faint musty smell.The school opened up two student dormitories into a teacher's dormitory for two people to live in, so the dormitory is quite spacious, even a little empty.

When the two entered the door, Shao Wu realized that the window was open, and some raindrops drifted into the balcony through the screen window—it was he who woke up in the morning and smoked with the window open, and forgot to close it after smoking.

In the next second, Yang Shuyi saw the cigarette case on the table: "Do you smoke?" His tone was a little bit surprised.

Shao Wu complained in his heart, now he seldom smokes, only these few days when his roommate is away, he only smoked a few with the window open...

"Well," Shao Wu said vaguely, "don't you also smoke?"

"I quit."

"... Quit it, that's good."

Shao Wu thought, did you borrow it for Zou Xin?

He closed the door and window, turned on the air conditioner, and poured Yang Shuyi a cup of hot water.

Yang Shuyi didn't drink the water and was still looking at his dormitory.

Shao Wu dug around in the closet, really wanted to just bury himself in the closet.In the end, he still grabbed a sweater and said with some embarrassment: "I'll be fine soon."

Yang Shuyi stood, leaning his back against his desk, and let out a "hmm".

There is no self-consciousness to avoid it.

Shao Wu secretly scolded why this shit dormitory doesn't even have a single guard——

Taking off his coat and sweater, his skin was suddenly exposed to the icy cold air, and a layer of goose bumps appeared.With his back to Yang Shuyi, Shao Wu quickly put on the sweater, his hands were trembling.He didn't dare to turn his head, for fear of meeting Yang Shuyi's gaze when he turned around.It's so embarrassing, Yang Shuyi doesn't know that he likes him?

Shao Wu was sure that his face had turned red, but he had no choice but to turn around and tell Yang Shuyi, I changed, we can go to the coffee shop now.

Shao Wu turned around very slowly, his breathing was short, and his whole body was tense.

He thought that Yang Shuyi was still looking at the dormitory, or that Yang Shuyi would lower his eyelashes as if nothing had happened and avoid suspicion.

However, Yang Shuyi looked at him.Looking at him frankly and straightly.

Like a dark umbrella, it enveloped him.

"Shao Wu," Yang Shuyi said, "Let's talk about it here."

Shao Wu nodded, speechless.

"Today Zhu Jingjing was drunk. She told me that you were pretending to be together. She said it was to convince your parents to allow you to return to Yongchuan... She said that you were supposed to be admitted to graduate school, but failed."

"..."

"She told me that you failed the exam because you missed the exam, and you missed the exam because..." His voice was very soft, "My father-in-law's accident, isn't it?"

Shao Wu thought, he knew.

He didn't want him to know.

The decision was made by himself, and the road was chosen by himself, Yang Shuyi didn't know it at all.The last thing he wants to see is that one day these choices become the weight of his bitter drama, which is boring.

He is willing to make and receive by himself.

"It's almost like this," Shao Wu said, "It doesn't matter, I'm not interested in academics."

"It's because of me that you failed to keep the graduate school."

"Don't say that... I can't help you with the father-in-law's affairs." She even kissed you secretly, and you found out.

"Shao Wu," Yang Shuyi took two steps forward, and firmly grabbed Shao Wu's shoulder, "Are you stupid?"

Something in his pitch-black eyeballs seemed to be gushing out, Shao Wu realized that his brows were furrowed, and his expression was so painful.

Shao Wu almost thought that he was going to kiss him in the next second.

But in the next second, Yang Shuyi let go of his hand.

"I chose this myself, and it has nothing to do with you." Shao Wu whispered.

Yang Shuyi was silent, and after a few seconds he asked, "Why don't you go to the wedding today?"

"I don't want to go."

"Are you afraid of seeing me?"

"Do you think it's possible?" Shao Wu smiled miserably, thinking that there's no need to pretend that the matter has come to this point, "Do you know how much I want to see you?"

Every day, I really want to.

"...Then why don't you go?"

Shao Wu thought, this is what you have to ask.

"When we were in high school, that time, your dad quarreled with the homeroom teacher because you were sitting in a 'special seat'... Shen Qi was also watching around at the time, and I heard her say that Yang Shuyi sleeps every day, no matter where he sits."

"..."

Yang Shuyi seemed to be in disbelief, his Adam's apple rolled, "That's it?"

"It's not 'that's it'," Shao Wu thought, anyway, I'm a psychopath in his eyes, "It's because she looked down on you, she looked down on you back then."

"Then you remember this sentence—how many years?"

Shao Wu didn't have the strength to calculate carefully, so he just said: "Five or six years."

Yang Shuyi didn't speak again.

Silence froze around them like a high-density medium.

Shao Wu thought, is it all over this time?

After a while, Yang Shuyi said:

"I owe you your insurance research."

Shao Wu asked: "Then can I let you return it?"

"I can't be with you, Shao Wu."

"I know."

"That……"

"I ask a question, you tell me the answer, be honest."

"go ahead."

Shao Wu closed his eyes, he knew that he was pushing himself into a deeper abyss, but he actually felt excited, his heart was beating lightly, as if he was going to fly.

"You said before that at 5.00% of the time, you only think of me... Now," he didn't dare to open his eyes to look at Yang Shuyi, "5.00%—I'm sorry [-]% is too much, two percent, Yang Shuyi, is there two percent?"

One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, time ran over him like a wheel.

When counting to No. 12 seconds, Shao Wu heard Yang Shuyi's voice:

"It's 5.00%."

Then without waiting for Shao Wu's answer, Yang Shuyi opened the door and walked out quickly.
