pretend to be poor

The sun in Yancheng in September was still very strong, and the sun was pouring hotly into the military training camp for Yanda freshmen. The surroundings were full of seniors and sisters who were carrying cold water and eating melons to watch the excitement.

On the first day of military training, the instructor came to show off.

After standing in military posture for an hour, the instructor leisurely yelled "Dismiss".

The freshmen seemed to be exhausted, some sat down, some drank water, and some slipped to the toilet to go to the toilet.

There are many girls in the School of Journalism and Communication, and a crop of girls immediately crowded under the shade of the tree. They looked at each other feebly, and asked nervously if they were tanned.

Tong Huai's toes touched the ground, but he gave up the idea of ​​grabbing territory with the girl. He sat down slowly, and pulled up his military training jacket to cover his scorching head, with a lazy look on his face.

It looks like a mushroom that has been wilted by the sun.

Roommate Song Ke went to get water from the college's free water supply, came over and looked at the unknown creature under his feet, and couldn't help but speak passionately: "...Tong, can we have some handsome face?"

Tong Huai was weak: "What face?"

"Look at the handsome guys in the other row, they are all standing up straight, receiving ice water from beautiful girls and pretty seniors, just like you are like an eggplant that has been beaten by frost."

Tong Huaizai carefully hid himself in a place out of the sun, and rolled his eyes when he heard the words: "They will accept it, I have the master."

"Ah?" Song Ke also sat down cross-legged, looked at his beautiful cheeks that were tanned, and said tentatively, "Do you have a girlfriend? A girl just asked me for your contact information."

As he said that, he unscrewed the water bottle, raised his head and took a few sips, and asked thieves: "Then does your brother have a partner? I just passed by the school bully team of the School of Economics and Management, and saw a bunch of girls watching your brother, the school beauty They are all holding water and waiting to be delivered."

Tong Huai paused and raised his eyebrows.

Song Ke was still saying: "I can't get the contact information of you and your brother, and they are bombing the wechat of the three of us. Hey, this is the consequence of being close to the water."

Tong Huai performed well in the college entrance examination, [-] points higher than the admission score of Yanda University, successfully entered the same university as Xue Ting, and chose a pleasing major.

Xue Ting chose Yanda's trump card major, the School of Economics and Management, which has gathered the top scholars in the country.

The school started the day before yesterday, and the two of them had just returned from a trip, and they were going to report directly to Yanda University, but they didn't expect that the old boy would postpone his work and follow him.

Two tall and thin boys, plus a handsome uncle in a suit and tie with a refined temperament, are a bit too conspicuous. A passing senior sister photographed them on the forum and asked excitedly which major they are. The forum became a sensation.

Tong Huai became famous out of nowhere.

"Aren't you thirsty?" It was too hot this day, Song Ke finished half a bottle of water and handed it to Tong Huai.

Tong Huai glanced from the small world he had separated, and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a commotion not far away, his heart moved slightly, and he looked up.

It was indeed a figure he was familiar with.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked at the person walking over there, and said lightly, "Sorry, my brother also has a date."

Xue Ting carried a bottle of ice water, looked around for a while, and then locked on the ball on the ground.

Walking all the way caused a lot of commotion, eyes from all around swept over, he didn't care, squatted down through his clothes, rubbed the top of the mushroom's head, a bit funny: "Huai cub?"

As he grows older, his voice is deeper and more magnetic than when we first met him, and it is very seductive when it rings in our ears.

Tong Huai turned around slowly, with bright eyes: "Why are you here?"

Xue Ting looked at his appearance, and glanced lightly at the shade of the trees crowded with people, knowing that the young master had committed a golden problem, so he stood to help him cover the sun.

But when Xue Ting came, Tong Huai stopped pretending to be mushrooms, took his hand to stand up, and naturally took the water he gave him, unscrewed it and drank it.

Whispering voices not far away came along with the hot wind: "...Is that the one from the School of Economics and Management?"

"Yes, the provincial champion of the neighboring province."

"Who is that curly-haired handsome guy next to him?"

"It seems to be his brother."

"His father is also super handsome, tsk tsk, as expected of a family, neat and tidy."

Tong Huai has a keen sense of hearing, so he listened for a while, hooked Xue Ting's neck, and gritted his teeth in displeasure: "Tingting, don't you think you've been attracting a lot of attention lately?"

"Ok?"

"My roommate said that the school belle has gone to bring you water."

After a whole morning of training, Xue Ting still stood upright, not a little tired, let him hang on his body, and calmly responded: "I also saw many girls wanting to bring you water on the way here."

It's just that when they saw Tong Huai's weird mushroom shape, they all stared and hesitated.

Tong Huai greeted Song Ke, and dragged him to the outside of the training ground: "You should have replied to me just now, 'Don't worry, I will only take the water you gave me'."

Xue Ting looked down at him: "If you tell me, you will come to bring me water?"

Tong Huai's little thoughts were ready to move, and he smiled viciously: "No, it's gross."

Xue Ting flicked his forehead gently.

The two walked far away, found a big tree that was not occupied by anyone, and sat in the shade to enjoy the shade.

"Give you a chance, what should you answer me just now?" Tong Huai whimpered and looked at him.

Xue Ting thought for three seconds, and said sincerely, "You are more beautiful than the school belle."

"..."

Tong Huai said coldly, "You're gone."

On the first day of training, Tong Huai wanted to return to the dormitory desperately. He didn't want to move or eat at all. He sent Xue Ting a WeChat message, took a shower, and fell asleep.

It's not that this military training is really tormenting, it's just that he is delicate.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep. He didn't seem to have slept for long. When he heard other voices in the dormitory, he opened his eyes mistyly, rubbed his eyes and looked down, surprised: "Tingting?"

He thought he was dazzled, so he rubbed his eyes again.

Only Xue Ting was in the dormitory, and the other three roommates did not know where they went.

Xue Ting was sitting at his table, reading his professional books casually, raised his head and muttered: "Are you awake? Are you hungry?"

Tong Huai didn't expect him to come, so surprised and happy, he quickly got out of bed, threw himself on him, and rubbed his head against him: "Where are the three of them?"

"Go to dinner." Xue Ting hugged such a baby, his eyes were soft, "Tired?"

"Fortunately, it's just that I've been lazy for a summer vacation and I'm not used to it." Tong Huai sat on his lap affectionately and complained, "The instructor is also fierce."

He complained for a while, but he didn't really want to complain, he just wanted to talk to Xue Ting.

After finishing speaking, he smiled and leaned over to kiss Xue Ting who was listening quietly: "Come on, let's have dinner too."

The School of Journalism and Communication is a new school, located in the new campus of Yanda University, quite far from the School of Economics and Management.

After eating, Tong Huai was about to go back by himself, but Xue Ting responded with a firm attitude, and sent him downstairs to the dormitory.

There were freshmen passing by here and there downstairs, and the night wind was still a bit muggy.

Tong Huai dragged his voice out: "Brother Ting, a good boyfriend."

Xue Ting put one hand in his pocket and raised his eyebrows.

Seeing his handsome face, Tong Huai's heart skipped a beat, and he was brave enough to face the wind. He dawdled, put his arms around his neck, and quickly kissed him on the cheek on tiptoe: "Don't be seduced by any fox on the way back."

"Well," Xue Ting accepted calmly, "little fox."

The atmosphere in the university is open, and there are quite a lot of same-sex couples, but not many dare to be as affectionate as ordinary couples.

The night was so dark that the faces of the two could not be seen clearly. People passing by just glanced at them and didn't pay much attention.

The two procrastinated for a few minutes before they separated. Tong Huai's bedroom was on the second floor, and he went up a few steps away.Only Song Ke was in the dormitory. One of the other two had a girlfriend and the other had a crush, but they were not there.

Song Ke was sitting at the table, looking over with a strange look.

"What's the matter?" Tong Huai asked casually, and took a bottle of milk from the small refrigerator he brought for the public use.

Song Ke hesitated for a while, expecting Ai Ai: "Tong Huai, do you really have a girlfriend?"

Tong Huai drank the milk and said "uh".

Song Ke: "Your brother... also has a partner?"

Tong Huai paused, realizing something.

Song Ke's third question was also thrown out: "Then what, is your brother your own brother?"

Tong Huai walked over, and Song Ke's bed was by the window.He glanced down by the window, and found that he could see the place where he and Xue Ting had separated just now, and suddenly realized.

"This," Tong Huai smiled, and turned to look at him, "It's not my brother."

Song Ke didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or a sigh of relief.

Tong Huai: "It's 'Brother Love'."

Song Ke: "..."

Song Ke held back for a long time, and said in an embarrassing way: "No wonder you and Xue Ting are not as close as real brothers... Oh no, I said, you just came out of the closet?"

"Is there any problem?" Tong Huai propped up his hands, sat on his table, and looked down at him.

Song Ke waved his hand: "I'm not uncivilized. In high school, a girl in our class wrote eighteen forbidden fanfiction. Don't worry, I will help you keep a secret."

"Oh, that doesn't matter." Tong Huai swayed his legs and took another sip of milk, "Does that girl in your class still write? Let me order a fanfic of me and my brother, and post it on our school forum to save the school belle covet him."

If the academic committee was there, there would definitely be no people who believed in cults and said, "The new one from the School of Economics and Management really matches the school beauty".

Song Ke: "..."

You are a real tiger.

Tong Huai said that he would not deliver water, but after training at noon the next day, he still carried ice water and killed the team of the School of Economics and Management.

Xue Ting took water from the water station of the college, and was about to go to the School of Journalism and Communication to water the little mushrooms at home, when he saw him coming, he couldn't help but laugh.

Song Ke spread the news last night that the two are not brothers, so the scene that was supposed to be "brothers, are you really close" in the eyes of everyone suddenly turned into "these two seem to be a good match".

Listening to the whispers nearby, Tong Huai was satisfied.

After the military training is over, the freshmen officially start their classes.

Xue Ting had more classes than Tong Huai, so Tong Huai went to wait for Xue Ting to eat together after class.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day, he thought, he could just go to the neighborhood to see where it is suitable for renting a house.

Although the roommates are very nice, he is not used to the days without Xue Ting by his side.

Close to October, Yanda Dangui is fragrant, and the weather is not as hot as before.

Although Tong Huai didn't eat much, he loved to explore delicious food. After class, he went to the School of Economics and Management. When Xue Ting came out, he wanted to tell him that he had found a good restaurant again. Seeing Xue Ting's expression, he paused : "Tingting, what happened?"

Xue Ting's face was pale, and before he had time to restrain himself, others could not see anything, only those close to him could see that he was actually not very happy.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Tong Huai's nervous and worried expression. The tension in his heart eased, and he rubbed his head: "Huai Zai, I may not be able to have dinner with you tonight."

"Huh?" Tong Huai suddenly thought of something, "Did your parents look for you?"

Xue Ting nodded.

Tong Huai frowned: "I'll go with you."

He took Xue Ting's hand and ground his teeth: "I'll back you up. If they dare to bully you, I'll beat them up. You kiss your parents. If you don't want to do it, I'll do it."

Xue Ting watched him rubbing his fists for a long time, couldn't help but smiled slightly, and shook his hand back: "Okay, you support me."

The original restless mood seemed to be ironed out, and when Xue Songbo and Yu Hui met again, Xue Ting's heart didn't fluctuate at all.

It's not that he didn't expect extravagant family affection before, and it was also because he had the last illusion about them in his heart, so when Yu Hui pretended to be pitiful and deceived, and the red-eyed Xue Songbo directly asked for shares, he really felt "hurt". And downright disappointed.

Xue Songchu and Yu Hui have been divorced for several years, and they have new partners around each other, and their attitudes are still at odds, but compared to the previous ones, it is much better now.

When seeing Tong Huai, Yu Hui smiled at him generously.

Tong Huai remained silent, got into the car with Xue Ting, leaned against him, and took a few glances at Xue Songbo.

I have to admit that Xue Ting's facial features are somewhat similar to his.

Xue Songbo's following is different from the lovable Xue Songchu, with sharper eyebrows and good looks, but it may be due to subjective impressions. Tong Huai feels that this person's face seems to be full of "thinness and ungratefulness" and "selfishness". ".

Thinking about it this way, he felt that Xue Ting didn't look like him at all.

Although Xue Ting was cold, he had nothing to do with these words.

Xue Songbo and Yu Hui hadn't spoken to Xue Ting for a long time, and they were a little cautious in their attitude towards this son who had been hurt by them. They were awkwardly silent all the way to the private restaurant where the dishes had been ordered in advance, and Yu Hui thought about it and asked, "Military training?" finished?"

Xue Ting said lightly: "It's been a week since class."

Xue Songbo glanced at Yu Hui impatiently, thinking that she asked a stupid question: "I heard from your grandfather that you got the provincial champion? Not bad."

Xue Ting did not agree.

This question is dumber than that.

Sitting next to Xue Ting, Tong Huai suspected that the two of them didn't even know when Xue Ting's birthday was.

The meaningless questions continued for a while, and Xue Ting's attitude was neither salty nor bland.Yu Hui turned to Tong Huai and smiled: "Little classmate, do you remember me? We met."

Tong Huai poked the bowl with chopsticks boredly, looked up at her: "I remember."

"I didn't expect you and Xiaoting to be admitted to the same school." Her attitude was very gentle, as if she wanted to break through from Tong Huai. "It is fate to be able to go to a high school, and the fate is even deeper if you can go to the same university." gone."

Tong Huai twitched the corner of his mouth.

That's right, in order to grasp this deep fate, he studied hard for a year and a half, got up early and went to bed late, and stayed up late every day to write questions until two o'clock. Several times he felt that he was about to collapse, and he rubbed himself into Xue Ting's arms for a long time. In order to recharge the battery and re-energize.

Yu Hui was still muttering: "I don't worry if you can be good friends with Xiao Ting..."

"Not good friends." Xue Ting said suddenly, in a lukewarm manner.

Both Yu Hui and Xue Songbo were taken aback.

At this dinner, Xue Ting took the initiative to speak for the second time unhurriedly: "It's a boyfriend."

Neither Xue Songbo nor Yu Hui could utter a word for half a minute.

Tong Huai didn't expect Xue Ting to come out in front of his parents like this, but since he made it clear, he continued without hesitation, "Yes, we have been together for two years."

After the initial shock, Xue Songbo came to his senses and blurted out: "I don't agree!"

Yu Hui didn't speak, but the way she looked at Tong Huai was different. It was obviously rare to hold the same point of view as her ex-husband who had old grievances.

Xue Ting leaned back, with sarcasm in his eyes: "You disagree?"

Xue Songbo's face turned slightly green.

"It has nothing to do with me." Xue Ting pursed his thin lips slightly, and said coldly, "Whether you agree or not is up to you."

Xue Song stood up abruptly: "Xue Ting, don't think that I have no right to control you, I can let you do whatever I want!"

Compared with his excited attitude, Xue Ting is like a period of ice and snow in the middle of winter, silent and indifferent, without waves: "You really have no power."

Tong Huai folded his hands and sneered: "Uncle Xue, I hope you can understand that you didn't care about Xue Ting in the past, but now you have no right to control him. Or are you going to use your means to separate Xue Ting from me?"

He tilted his head: "I'm sorry, neither my dad nor your dad will agree."

Xue Songbo and Yu Hui: "..."

Tong Huai's father, they found out who it was before they came.

Xue Songbo's own father, of course he knows who it is.

"If you can't accept it, you can accept it slowly," Tong Huai smiled slightly, and held Xue Ting's hand, "If you really can't accept it, then don't accept it. Anyway, what you think, it won't affect me and Brother Ting. People, tough measures are useless, and you won’t cry, make trouble, and hang yourself, right?”

Xue Ting watched him sticking out his hooves to protect his calf, the ice in his eyes melted silently, turning into sporadic smiles.

"Eat dinner slowly." Seeing Xue Songbo and Yu Hui speechless, Tong Huai felt refreshed and courteous, "Read more books and newspapers, contact less and disturb less, goodbye. "

After leaving the private restaurant, Tong Huai looked back and couldn't stop laughing: "Your dad's expression just now was as dark as Aunt Chen's pot bottom, as if he wanted to come over and beat me up."

Xue Ting stroked his palm, and his smile deepened: "He dare not."

"How is my performance?" Tong Huai leaned in front of him to praise him.

Xue Ting nodded sincerely: "Handsome."

Tong Huai's eyes bent.

The night spread silently, and the two held hands, walking slowly towards the bus station under the indifferent, curious or surprised eyes of passers-by.

When he was almost there, Xue Ting's mood had calmed down, he tilted his head to look at the beautiful profiles of the people around him, and suddenly called: "Huai Zai."

"what?"

"Move out with me on National Day."

Tong Huai didn't tell Xue Ting about his little thoughts. He was thinking about tricking him out to give him a surprise during the National Day, but he didn't expect him to speak out on his own initiative and turned around with a smile.

"Okay."
