shame

Early September.

In the early autumn, the leaves of the sycamore trees on both sides of the boulevard showed signs of yellowing.The blue sky gradually faded, as if covered with a layer of gray haze.

The sound of bicycle wheels running over stone slabs came from the alley, accompanied by the children playing in front of the courtyard, and it reached Xiahe's ears.He stood at the entrance of the corridor, staring at the bicycle that had been parked for two months without any inquiries, hesitated for a while, and decided to ride it to school.

Senior three, the first day of school.

He rode the wind, drove across the street, passed the crowded campus gate, and parked in the bicycle storage area.Just as he took off the MP3 earphones and was about to lock the wheels, a figure suddenly passed by, the bicycle slammed to a stop, and the front wheel hit the iron railing, making a 'bang' sound.

Xia He turned his head to look, and saw that it was Zhou Yu.The other party made a gorgeous jumping action, and firmly stepped on the ground, looking safe and unrestrained at the same time.The car fell to the ground, and the wheels spun unwillingly.Zhou Yu looked at Xia He, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Morning, that, the bike is riding a bit fierce..."

He has always played cards not according to common sense, Xia He is no wonder.

"By the way, come to my house for dinner after school in the evening, I'll treat you."

Zhou Yu casually picked up the bicycle and said.

After locking the lock, Xia He stood up: "Aren't you allowed to go to class at night?"

"No, there's no one who makes up late at night on the first day of school, and there's still a flashback before he dies."

Xia He thought for a while and said: "Your parents are at home, I don't want to hear them nagging. Why don't you come to my house, my dad moved into the teacher's apartment, and I am the only one at home."

"This is the best way." Zhou Yu put on his backpack and walked to him, glanced at the black bicycle in front of him, and deliberately joked: "This bike is not bad, is it new?"

Xia He knew what was going on in his mind, so he gave him a blank look, raised his steps and brushed past him.

Stepping up the stairs and walking through the corridor, Xia He walked into the classroom and sat down at random.Next to me are classmates whispering in twos and threes, talking about the experience of those days of vacation.

He heard the sound of moving the table behind him, looked back, and saw a boy in a blue shirt with amber beads on his wrist, who was moving the table behind him, and gestured to the person who was sitting behind him with his eyes. The girl moved back.

That person is Gu Sheng.

Xia He was surprised and stared at him intently.

After setting the table, Gu Sheng stared at him and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Why are you here?"

"Nonsense, where am I when school starts?"

"No, why are you in this class?"

"This is not a place where gods live." Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows as he spoke, "You're not welcome?"

The tone of his speech is always unconsciously full of jokes and arrogance.Xia He stared at his face, with a straight nose bridge, good-looking eyebrows, bangs hanging down his forehead with beads of sweat.It couldn't help reminding him of the repeated dream two days ago, it was too taboo and morbid.He turned his head and didn't answer.

Gu Sheng took out the small box of chewing gum and shook it by his ear, and asked, "Either?"

Xia He shook his head: "No need." Then he saw the other party throw the chewing gum to the student on the left.

After returning from the countryside, this was the first time the two met. He thought that something could be changed, but now it seemed that nothing had changed, and the other party was still someone he could not get used to.

A transfer student came that day, a girl named Gao Yalan, who looked very quiet.The clothes are very simple, and the trousers are even washed a little white.She is very beautiful with a ponytail. She is two completely different girls from Ye Lian, but obviously, she is more simple and charming.

Xia He saw her carefully sitting down at the table in front of him, and she moved the chair very lightly.Gu Sheng suddenly poked himself on the back, and he turned around and asked, "Why?"

"Borrow a pen."

He handed the one in his hand to Gu Sheng, and was about to move the chair forward when the other's hand was placed on his shoulder suddenly, which surprised him.

Gu Sheng stretched his neck and whispered next to his ear, "Shall we switch places?"

Looking at Gao Yalan's back at the front table, Xia He obviously knew what Gu Sheng was planning.But he didn't let people get what they wanted, but pushed away the other person's hand on his shoulder, without any intention of negotiating, he said: "No change!" Then he moved the chair forward and put some distance away from Gu Sheng .

Gu Sheng cut coldly, and then played with the pen.

In the evening, there was no sunset, and the gray sky seemed to be a sign of rain.

After school, Gu Sheng was dragged away by his usual 'little brother', that yellow-haired Xie Dong, who seemed to be rushing to see some performance.Xia He didn't pay attention, but Gu Sheng patted him on the shoulder before leaving and said 'see you tomorrow'.This extremely ordinary sentence, and that extremely ordinary shoulder-patting action both made his heart tremble, but he deliberately frowned.

It was a weird feeling, but he didn't dare to think about it.

When she was packing her backpack, Gao Yalan in the front row stood up, Xia He's eyes glanced over unintentionally, and saw a red spot on the back of her trousers.He realized something, so he quickly stood up to cover the classmates who hadn't left yet.After Gao Yalan sat down again, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Xia He took off the white shirt he was wearing outside, picked up his backpack, and walked to Gao Yalan's side. Seeing that the students around him were not paying attention, he threw the shirt on Gao Yalan's desk.With solemn eyes, he said in a low voice, "You'd better cover your back with your clothes."

Gao Yalan was a little surprised at first, but after hearing him say this, a trace of panic and shyness flashed in her eyes.Fortunately, Xia He knew that she would feel embarrassed, so he dropped his shirt and walked away.

At this moment, Zhou Yu happened to be rushing to the door of the classroom. He wanted to come in and have a chat with Xia He, but he grabbed his neck and dragged him away.After going downstairs, he let go of Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu rubbed the back of his neck that was hurt by him, and asked depressedly: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Xia He stared ahead, pretending that nothing happened.

Zhou Yu didn't dig into the horns, and changed the subject and asked, "Hey, who is that girl sitting in front of you? I haven't seen it before, she's pretty."

"You like it?" Xia He sneered.

"Just because I compliment someone on being beautiful doesn't mean I like him." Zhou Yu said, "I often say you are handsome, so do I like you?"

"You haven't told me, how do I know if you like me or not." Xia He glanced at him with a smile.

"You're not so pretty." Zhou Yu said, "I'm not crazy enough to like a guy."

Xia He smiled dryly, and answered his previous question: "He is a transfer student, his name is Gao Helan, Gao Youlan seems to be."

"Oh, that's why I haven't seen it before." Zhou Yu thought about it in his mind, "It's really pretty."

"Tch, don't be an idiot, let's go quickly, I didn't bring an umbrella when it rained later."

Xia He said as he stretched out his arms to hook Zhou Yu's neck again.

"You're a nympho..."

It was just getting dark, and the expected heavy rain hadn't come yet, but the wind picked up and dark clouds moved.

Zhou Yu came out of the supermarket holding the packaging bag, which contained various snacks.Xia He hurriedly followed after paying the counter, with a dozen beers in his hand.

The two of them had just left the supermarket and hadn't walked a few steps when the sky was ready to rain, and it was cold on their necks.

"This rain is really timely." Zhou Yu muttered, looking up at the sky.

"Stop talking nonsense and run."

Xia He started to trot after the sound, but he could feel that the rain was getting heavier, hitting his face like mung beans.

When they ran home and entered the house, the two of them were already drowned, with water dripping from their hair and trousers.

Zhou Yu put down the packing bag, and complained while taking off his shoes: "It's been really bad luck recently, how long do you think I haven't been drenched by heavy rain like this?"

Xia He put the beer on the table and replied, "A month ago, you ran home in the rain after the exam, forgot?"

Zhou Yu seemed to think about it, then smiled awkwardly: "It seems to be..."

Xia He glanced at him amusedly, then turned around and went to the bathroom to get a dry towel and threw it to him: "Wipe it off."

Then he took off his shirt and took a towel to dry himself.

Zhou Yu wiped his hair casually, then threw the towel aside, went to get a bottle of beer and pulled off the ring, sat on the sofa and drank a couple of gulps.Looking at Xia He's earnest way of wiping his hair, he asked, "Hey, you haven't told me how you met Gu Sheng in the countryside yet."

Xia He said: "He and I are fellow villagers, his dad and my dad grew up together."

Zhou Yu was taken aback: "Is there such a thing?"

"Well, I think it's a bit of a coincidence too."

"It's more than a coincidence, it's too coincidental, why don't you take him to the hospital for a blood test, maybe there is a blood relationship."

Xia He: "..."

He picked up the towel on the floor and took it back to the bathroom, and changed the wet clothes by the way.After coming out, I saw Zhou Yu sitting on the sofa and kept using the remote control to tune the channels, switching back and forth to Journey to the West, news, and entertainment programs.He also brought a bottle of beer and said to Zhou Yu: "If you get up from the sofa now, you can definitely see the shape of your butt clearly."

Zhou Yu turned his head to look at him, showing a hint of surprise, but then remembered that his house was a leather sofa, and his pants were wet, and if he sat down, wouldn't that be a conspicuous enlarged butt mark?

Seeing that Xiahe had changed into clean clothes, he asked, "Can you find me some clothes? Yours is fine."

"Okay, wait for a while." After hearing this, Xia He turned and went back to the room to find his own clothes for him, handed them to him, and said, "Go and change."

Zhou Yu took the clothes and sized them up, then raised his eyes blankly: "My underwear is also wet..."

"You want to wear my underwear too, so why don't you wear it?"

"If you don't wear it, it's uncomfortable..."

Xia He thinks that he only has a few pairs of underwear, and now they are hanging on the balcony to dry, let him feel uncomfortable, anyway, there are no extras.So he insisted that he had a cleanliness freak, and he couldn't just wear it for him.

Zhou Yu had no choice but to get up from the sofa, and walked to the bathroom with his clean clothes.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the sound of cars on the street not far away lingered in my ears.He put down his beer, went to close the window, and remembered that when he was in the countryside, whenever it rained at this time, the sound of Gu Sheng playing cards could always be heard from the back of the house.
