for the sake of you liking me

Ji Li doesn't like to listen to Fang Mo's gossip, and Shi Xing knows this, so when Shi Xing was still living at school, Fang Mo told him everything.

After Shi Xing moved out, Fang Mo and Ji Li couldn't hang out together, and the relationship between the two can only be said to be harmonious and distant.

Now, Shi Xing can't listen to Fang Mo's gossip anymore.

It's fine if there are other people who don't know each other, but Fang Mo's topics can't always be around Ming Jue, Lu Jing, Liang Jia, or even PlanB and Yun Xi, these time stars really don't listen.

and so--

At Lin Xue's birthday party, Shi Xing and Ji Li sat in the corner, listening to Fang Mo and Lin Xue's sisters gossip, making two background panels as quiet as chickens.

However, the reality is not as he wished.

Fang Mo suggested playing Truth or Dare, which forced the two of them into the crowd.The empty wine bottle was put down in the middle, and whoever faced the bottle mouth was the one who turned around. Shi Xing was lucky to escape two rounds. In the third round, when the senior was punished for "hugging with the opposite sex", the senior was shy and turned away. He pretended to be heroic and hugged him.

The people next to him booed and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, pass the short video on to her boyfriend, it's going to be heaven to cheat in public!" Shi Xing still had a suitable smile on his face, but in fact, the automatic blocking function had already been turned on,— —Those who don’t like to hear it should not hear it.

The fourth round was Ji Li. Except for Fang Mo who was interested, everyone else was not as energetic as before.Obviously, everyone was not very interested in Ji Li, and just asked a few simple questions perfunctorily.

Fang Mo said, "Don't ask, let me come let me come." Turning to Ji Li, "Didn't you say last time that you came to Nanjing University for the person you like, so who is that person?" ?”

Ji Li looked at him, but said nothing.

The others were excited when they saw the situation. Although it was not interesting to see Ji Li dull, they did not expect him to be such an affectionate and serious person.

Fang Mo then asked again, "You don't say yes, you don't say you have to drink."

Ji Li poured the wine for himself silently, half of the large glass of draft beer went down in one breath, and everyone else applauded him with shocked expressions, "Wow, I didn't expect Ji Li to drink so well, it seems that the teacher likes it student."

Fang Mo let out a "tch", shouted "no energy, no energy", poured himself a glass of wine, and clinked glasses with Ji Li, "Forget it, I wanted to help you, what a great opportunity this is .”

Lin Xue's expression was a little subtle when she heard his words, after all, only she and Ji Li were high school classmates.

Ji Li stood up at this moment and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Shi Xing watched him go out, but couldn't understand the situation.

As soon as Ji Li left, Fang Mo couldn't help it anymore, took a sip of wine, put down his glass and said, "Didn't you say Lin Xue was his high school classmate and often took the same bus. He told me last time He likes a person, and he doesn’t dare to say hello on the same bus all the time. He heard that person and his friend are going to apply for Nanjing University, so he came. So did you tell your friend that you are going to apply for Nantah University, or that there is still time on your bus? Others? Impossible."

Lin Xue was stunned, and the others were blown up, and they all confirmed with Fang Mo, "So, the person Ji Li likes is actually Lin Xue? Lin Xue, you don't know at all!?"

"I..." Lin Xue said awkwardly, "What do I know...I haven't spoken a word to him..."

The friends kept pressing, "Oh? He didn't even say a word. Why did he come to celebrate your birthday? It wasn't you who invited him or someone else."

Lin Xue was speechless, and subconsciously glanced at Shi Xing.

She really just invited Ji Li by the way, in order to invite Shi Xing in a logical way so as not to appear abrupt.

When Shi Xing received her gaze, he suddenly felt that he was in a very embarrassing situation, so he also stood up and went out with the excuse of going to the toilet.

To be honest, he didn't think Lin Xue was interested in him, at most he had a good impression of his face.Girls always have a good impression of good-looking boys, even though they don't know anything about the other's personality, hobbies, family and friends.

When thinking this way, Shi Xing also deeply reflected on himself, wasn't he just fascinated by Yun Xi's face.

Going to the bathroom, Ji Li was standing by the sink with a cigarette between his fingertips. When Shi Xing came over, he raised his eyes, and their eyes met in the mirror.

Shi Xing was stunned for a moment, and walked over to turn on the faucet to wash his hands, "I really didn't see it, it seems like I just met you today."

Tobacco and alcohol, such things are obviously not compatible with top students.

Shi Xing shook the water, took out a piece of paper and dried it.Ji Li's cigarette was placed on the marble countertop, and he took one and lit it for himself. After smoking it a few times, it looked decent, and Ji Li also looked at him with surprised eyes.

"I learned it from Yun Xi." Shi Xing laughed, "Then who did you learn it from?"

"Self-taught." Ji Li said, flicking the cigarette ash, feeling a bit refined and scum.

"What about drinking?" Shi Xing asked again.

"It's also self-taught." Ji Li said.

"I see." Shi Xing thought for a while, "The last question..."

"I don't know." Ji Li replied without waiting for him to ask, "She is very beautiful, and her hair has a faint fragrance. When I see her every day, I feel that life is beautiful, and it is a little light in the boring study. I give I set my own goals, and greeted me as soon as I reached the number of points. I exceeded my goals every time, but I never stepped forward to say "Hello". "

Shi Xing thought for a while, "Because she wasn't your target in the first place?"

"I don't know." Ji Li said, "But I'm still here."

Lin Xue was very beautiful and was very popular in high school. Every time Ji Li saw her, she would hold hands with a few friends and smile carefree.

Many boys in the school like her, and she has dated several boyfriends. Ji Li doesn't need to inquire about these things, as they will naturally reach his ears.

At that time, Ji Li kept looking at her, paying attention to every bit of her life, such as new dresses and new jewelry, Ji Li could always notice these quickly, but he didn't actually observe them deliberately.

He obviously hasn't said half a word, but because of the relationship he can meet every day, he has an indescribable sense of familiarity, so when there is a slight change in her, Ji Li can always notice it immediately.

As for what kind of feelings he had for Lin Xue, he didn't know.

What Ji Li knows is that the feeling of seeing Lin Xue now is completely different from that in high school.

Lin Xue shouldn't be someone who is curious about other people's lives. After all, she lives so flamboyantly and brilliantly, adorning the dreams of many ordinary students on campus, and Ji Li is one of them.

But now she has become no different, she also gossips with Fang Mo about her seniors and sisters, and about other characters who are far away, revealing a small longing in her words.

She came down from the "altar" that was "out of reach".

Ji Li also thought that it might be because he was too close, so he tried to increase the distance.But still the same, nothing changed.Even today, even if it was Lin Xue's birthday, hearing what they said made him feel a little annoyed.

He actually found Lin Xue very annoying, and this disgust came out of his mind, which even scared him.If it's disgust, why did he choose this school? All the beliefs that supported him in high school have collapsed. This kind of cognition makes him at a loss.

Ji Li just smoked silently, Shi Xing didn't know what he was thinking.After extinguishing his cigarette, Shi Xing said, "Let's go. I have to go back, there is a kid waiting for dinner at home."

Ji Li put away his cigarette and followed him out.

"You and Yunxi knew each other before?" Ji Li asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Shi Xing laughed, "How do you know that the kid I'm talking about is him."

"I see." Ji Li said.

"Am I acting so obvious?" Shi Xing asked.

"It's not you." Ji Li said.

Shi Xing can't see anything, he is gentle and considerate to everyone, as if he has endless patience, he always smiles gently at everyone, as if he is never troubled by troubles.A person with a personality like Shi Xing can hide negative emotions, unless he tells you himself, otherwise you can't guess his mind.

But Yun Xi is different, Yun Xi's performance is very outward, and he doesn't like people he doesn't like at all, for example, he never bothers to talk to Ji Li Fang Mo, and occasionally smiles at Shi Xing.Ji Li can't even see Yun Xi's face, but whenever he shows up, there is definitely a chance.

The last time I had that meal, Yun Xi left without saying hello, and she was stern and refused to say anything before, maybe Fang Mo's rough nerves couldn't feel it, but Ji Li received Yun Xi's disgust.

Ji Li can see the clue from Yun Xi's difference with Shi Xing, but in fact he has nothing to do with Shi Xing.

"Not me?" Shi Xing thought for a while, then laughed, and stopped talking.

What Ji Li meant was that Yun Xi was too obvious, and he was right to see it that way.Yun Xi was indeed very obvious, that is, he deliberately lured Shi Xing to take the bait, but no one except Shi Xing knew his intentions, so Ji Li must have misread it.

After returning to the box, Shi Xing greeted her and said that she had to leave first, the senior said arrogantly, "Then you guys are all gone, it's not safe for us girls to go back in the middle of the night, do you still have a little gentlemanly demeanor?"

Shi Xing was stunned for a moment, and smiled politely, "It's very late, and I'm also worried about my girlfriend's safety, so I have to go back quickly. Here..." He looked at Fang Mo, "Fang Mo, drink less liquor."

"Okay, okay." Fang Mo expressed his understanding, "I will give it, I will give it. But I can't give it so much, Ji Li, why don't you go now? Please give it to me, Birthday."

I don't know what kind of consensus they reached after Shi Xing went out, as if they didn't know about the "secret", they didn't show any undue reaction.

Ji Li didn't think too much, and replied, "Okay."
