life is

"Tomorrow at [-] o'clock in the afternoon, everyone who received the forwarded message and is going to participate in the campus basketball league, please gather at the Sports Office on the first floor of the No. [-] Middle School Gymnasium..."

When I received this news, I was stunned. Because of my ankle problem, I was banned from participating in the basketball game by the physical education teacher last time. I didn’t expect to get a substitute position. Watching the game, you can also try to play and touch the ball.

[Mu Yang, did you receive the text message? 】

Shelley's hands are fast. I just received the text message, and he sent it a second later.

【kindness.Become a substitute. 】

[The substitute is fine.Let's go together tomorrow, I'll pick you up, and we'll talk in detail then. 】

【become. 】

In other words, this is the first time I have chatted with Shelley in the past few days during the holidays. I wondered if it was because of puberty a few days ago, but I was very flatulent. This feeling came and went quickly, and I couldn't control it.Oh, I pushed it all to puberty.

I stayed up late last night playing games, and I slept until noon. I rubbed my belly, and I was really hungry.

When I went downstairs, I realized that I was the only one in the house.My mother and father have gone to work, but they didn't leave me any rations.Looking through the refrigerator, there were only a few bottles of milk in it.It looks like I have no appetite at all.

When I rummaged through the boxes and cabinets at home, I found a package of biscuits that I missed in the small basket under the coffee table.It's about a month away from expiring.With tears in my eyes, unable to bear the hunger in my stomach, I sat cross-legged on the sofa, soaked in the water, and tore open the package.

The coarse-grain biscuits my mother bought have a light taste and are thick. I didn’t expect it to come in handy at this critical moment. Chewing and chewing, the faint fragrance of coarse grains overflowed my lips and teeth. In fact, they are quite fragrant.

Just then, Shelley's phone call came.

"Hey?"

"Mu Yang, shall we have lunch together?" I could hear the person on the other end of the phone chuckling, and I could even imagine the corner of his mouth lightly twitching.

"Eat, don't wait for noon, now! Shelley, can you bring some food to my house, I'm starving to death." The word "eat" hit my heart!I strongly urge Shelley not to wait for another time, now is the time!

Yi Xuelai on the other end was obviously taken aback, and finally agreed as expected.

I continued to chew the biscuit, and the biscuit made a crisp sound of "gra" in my mouth.Bored by pressing the remote control in turn, the TV channel took turns for two consecutive rounds.Just heard the doorbell ring.

What speed is this? It's too fast.

Yi Xuelai was carrying a bowl of vermicelli stew with a chicken chop.Frowning, he walked in, "There is nothing to eat on the road, so I brought this for you."

"It's okay! It's great!" There is meat and my favorite vermicelli pot!Very beautiful!

I ate vermicelli, drank soup, and chatted with him without answering.I actually can't stand being alone with two people, because it makes my heart beat faster for no reason.Only talking, or using other distractions, so that I don't pay so much attention to others.

But Shelley's phone screen flickered several times, and after clicking to read the text message, he didn't reply, just frowned and deleted it.

"What's wrong?" I took a sip of the soup, a little confused.

"It's okay." Shelley took a sip of tea, her brows were flat and moody.

I nodded.Continue to drink soup in silence.

Not long after, a phone call came.Shelley frowned, and wanted to press it again, I looked up at him, "Go ahead, it's hard work."

Or helpless or something, Shelley answered the phone, and the thin and soft female voice on the other end shocked me.Don't dare to speculate, this woman. . .Is it Cui Xiyuan?

A few words broke the topic.

Shelley and I set off for school.

At this time, there were already several people inside.Lin Rui waved to us.There was a girl, wearing a pink skirt, who came out of the gymnasium slowly.When he got closer, he realized that it was Cui Xiyuan. She seemed to have put on light makeup today, and there was a sweet smile on her brows and eyes.She tilted her head, stuck out her tongue, and winked at us playfully, "Shelley, sorry for calling you so many times."

As I spoke, I felt that her eyes seemed to drift towards me, and then moved away quickly.

"fine."

"That's good, I'm still worried if you think I'm annoying." Cui Xiyuan jumped down from the steps and hugged Yi Xuelai's arm.Shelley didn't struggle!Although he frowned instantly, he still accepted Cui Xiyuan's intimacy. Is the rumor that the two are together true? . . .

Standing beside me, I frowned, feeling a sense of trance.Suddenly a little at a loss, what should I do at this time!For some reason, my heart felt empty, as if something had been hollowed out.Watching the two of them walking away hand in hand.My steps can't go out.

Are you timid again?Obviously this has happened before, Shelley is different from me, I knew this from the beginning, and I was mentally prepared for it, but every time I receive such news, how can I, as a best friend? There is no way to send a sincere blessing.It's all against my will, because I don't like this at all!But I know from the beginning, you can't belong to me.That humble love will eventually be torn, trampled, and smashed with your own hands.

"Muyang, are you okay?" Lin Rui shook his hand in front of me.

I was startled and regained consciousness in an instant. "Oh, it's fine."

"You don't look very well." Lin Rui looked at me a little worried.

I shook my head, "It's okay, it's fine."

"Oh, that's it. Look at Cui Xiyuan and Brother Yi, they are so compatible. Just say, why are they not together? They are destined to be a couple. Hey, Mu Yang, what are you doing so fast! Wait Wait for me!"

Lin Rui behind me was calling, and my steps became faster.Sorry, I don't want to hear anything about these two anymore.The happiness I always thought was lost and found, after all, is just a preparation for getting it and losing it again.I need some time to buffer, I know myself. . .Should be able to pass.

"The time is set on July 25th, that is, ten days later, our school will compete with the No. [-] Middle School. You should take advantage of the ten days to practice hard. And, Cui Xiyuan, the cheerleading team will be handed over to you girls. Personnel organization how's it going?"

"Well, teacher, no problem, don't worry, we have all planned, even the slogan is ready."

"Well, okay, then everyone should disband. Pay attention to rest and protect yourself during this time, don't get hurt!"

The teacher's next words were almost yelling.Because when he said the word "disbanded", everyone dispersed in a flock.

I didn't move, but was dragged by Lin Rui and walked with him.

"Muyang, let's go back together." Shelley was waiting at the entrance of the gymnasium.The lonely back made me lose my mind for a moment.

"Hey, Brother Yi, I wanted to ask you to play games together. Goodbye, I'll go find Xiaopang." Lin Rui looked frustrated.Before I could express my opinion, he let go of my clothes, trotted, and caught up with Xiaopang and the others.

The two walked back slowly together, a little embarrassed and hesitant.

"Well, aren't you with Cui Xiyuan?" I asked cautiously.

"Why are you with her?" Shelley frowned, as if thinking of something, suddenly a little unhappy.

"Aren't you two together?"

After waiting for a long time without reply, Shelley suddenly turned around and took my hand. His other hand clasped my chin, forcing me to raise my head.

He looked at me very seriously, "Muyang, if I'm with her, will you be sad?"

My heart trembled, and many things flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern.But I don't know where to start, I opened my mouth, my throat was dry, "I..."

The phone rang, and kept ringing.

"You should answer the phone first." I pointed to Shelley's pocket and smiled reluctantly.

Shelley looked at me silently, as if giving up something, turned around and answered the phone.

Still a soft female voice.What was said at the other end made Shelley frown frequently.

"I have something to do, I have to go first." Shelley hung up the phone and turned around.

"Oh, okay, go get busy." I was taken aback, maybe Cui Xiyuan had something to do, after all, Shelley was his boyfriend.

"Then you...be careful." Shelley raised his eyes and glanced at the sky, "It's going to rain, you go back early. Remember to send me a text message when you go back."

I nodded.Shelley frowned and scratched my hair with his hands.

I stood by the side of the road and watched passers-by hurrying by.The sky was gray, and the air smelled sticky. Occasionally, there was a muffled "rumble" of thunder, which seemed to be in the distance or nearby.

It's going to rain.
