mountain sleep

The days of high school passed quickly, and there was no free time during the winter vacation. Xu Zihang carried a bunch of homework and papers back to Kawashima City.

On Xu Zihang's first day back home, Xu Xingqiang cooked a table of good dishes, Chen Siyi pulled him to look left and right, and said with distress that he had lost weight.

"Tonight, the three of us lie down and watch a movie together, how about it?" Chen Siyi also opened a bottle of red wine, poured it for Xu Xingqiang and herself, glanced at Xu Zihang, took a glass, and poured him a little At the end, "I'll give you a sip."

"What movie to watch?"

"Just look at your folder, don't you have a movie folder?" Chen Siyi directed Xu Xingqiang, "Old Xu, you pick one."

Xu Zihang was stunned for a moment, and remembered the movies that Yao Ge had sent him before. He saved them in the hard drive, but his parents took them to watch.

"Who recommends the movies here to you? They're pretty good." After Xu Zihang went to school, Chen Siyi and Xu Xingqiang had a lot of rare time together for more than ten years. If they didn't want to go out on weekends, they would stay at home. See a movie.

"Yao Ge." Xu Zihang suddenly thought that his "Perfume" was still in it, wouldn't his parents read it too?He leaned over to watch his dad choose a movie, and quickly pointed to one, "Let's watch "This Killer Is Not So Cold"!"

"I've watched it a long time ago." Xu Xingqiang slid the mouse down, "You have a lot of old movies in it, and your mother and I watched them back then." His mouse stopped next to "The Wedding Banquet", "Watch this, the name sounds very festive .”

Xu Zihang hasn't watched this one, since it's not "Perfume" anyway, it shouldn't matter.

It's a pity that he miscalculated. He regretted it only ten minutes into the movie. Who knew it was about homosexuality?He was still urged to marry, so he had to plan how to lie to his parents.Xu Zihang's buttocks moved uneasily, and he turned to look at his parents. The two watched with great interest, and laughed a lot from time to time.

"This... These two guys look pretty good together?" Xu Zihang raised his voice trying to hide it, "They're both pretty handsome."

"Movies, there are so many in reality." Chen Siyi took the time to answer him, and then said to Xu Xingqiang, "The one we watched before, "Farewell My Concubine", isn't Leslie Cheung, hey, Leslie Cheung is really a pity. "

Watching this movie made Xu Zihang feel uncomfortable all over. When his parents watched the funny scene of a few people meeting, he put himself into it. The lies he had to weave one after another and the emotional struggle under suppression all made him feel the same.

After the conflict broke out, during the period when Gao's father was hospitalized, Chen Siyi began to wipe away tears, and sighed: "Poor parents in the world." Even Xu Xingqiang sighed, and then his wife said: "It's really not easy to be a parent."

This sentence made Xu Zihang panic, as if the matter between himself and Yao Ge had also been exposed in front of his parents.What will he do then?lie?When is it a head?He never forgot the questions that Li Chengjin asked him back then.

Xu Zihang gulped down the red wine he had been carrying all the time, then poked his neck and said, "But Weitong and Simon are also miserable, if they weren't forced to marry, they wouldn't be like this."

"Indeed." Chen Siyi nodded in agreement, "He can't control who he likes."

Xu Zihang, who smelled a glimmer of hope, wanted to agree with both hands and feet, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes."

"You are what you are, and it's none of your business." Chen Siyi gave him a sideways look, "After watching the movie, I'll take a shower and go to sleep."

Well, within a day of arriving home, his mother's tenderness towards him was exhausted.Xu Zihang put the red wine glass into the sink in the kitchen, let's talk about the troublesome things later.

Yao Ge did not return to Kawashima City this winter vacation, and his whole family spent the New Year in Nai City.It just so happened that he didn't have to spoil the happiness of his father's family. As for his grandma's complaints, let his father bear it.

During the New Year’s Eve, Yao Ge was on the phone with Xu Zihang. Firecrackers were not allowed in Yao Ge’s community, but the crackling sound came from the microphone. Yao Ge held the microphone farther away, and Xu Zihang yelled at him. The voice was still very clear: "Happy New Year!!"

Yao Ge also said a Happy New Year into the microphone. Xu Zihang blocked his ear with a finger, brought the phone closer to him, and raised his voice: "What? What are you talking about? I can't hear you! It's too noisy!"

Yao Ge paused for two seconds, raised the volume, and shouted into the microphone: "I said——you are deaf!"

Just in between his words, there was a pause of a few seconds in the sound of firecrackers. These words clearly shook Xu Zihang's ears.

"Damn." Xu Zihang smiled.

It's 2010.The seventh year Xu Zihang and Yao Ge have known each other, and the first New Year since they fell in love.

[I hope that one day we can celebrate the New Year together. ] Yao Ge wrote this sentence in his private diary.

After the term started, Yao Ge transferred to the comprehensive class. The difference was that there were more extracurricular readings in English, and he had to do three long readings every week.Yao Ge copied all these reading questions to Xu Zihang, and checked the answers with him on the phone after he finished.

Xu Zihang was very excited at the beginning, but doing the questions is boring after all. After a long time, his enthusiasm faded, and he complained endlessly. He often dragged on for a week to finish one, or did three but made all mistakes.

Xu Zihang felt very aggrieved, and said that Yao Ge was trying to help others: "I even struggled to learn English in textbooks, and if they were given to me after class, then I would not be able to learn well."

"You are not struggling, you are lazy." I didn't memorize the words at the back of the textbook solidly, and I still wanted to rely on my language sense in high school. "It doesn't matter if you make a mistake, it's good to read it."

"I don't want to do it." Xu Zihang frowned on the other end of the phone, there is no third year of high school yet, this is only freshman year, there is no need to be so far ahead, right?

Yao Ge was silent for a few seconds, then hung up the phone after saying "whatever you want".

Xu Zihang heard the sound of "beep beep" on the opposite side, and if he burst out of anger, did he get angry?He is not angry yet?

After Yao Ge hung up the phone, the phone vibrated soon, and he waited for two seconds before answering it.

"No, why are you so angry? Tell yourself, do you study and study every time you meet, do your homework and endorse, and go to the library to read books when you go out. What's the point? You have to study the answers on the phone. "

As soon as the phone was connected, Xu Zihang yelled, and the more he talked, the more he felt aggrieved: "My parents didn't push me like that, so why not combine work and rest? I'm only a freshman in high school, what's the rush? It's not that my grades are particularly bad. I won’t be able to pass the university entrance exam. I’m still learning to fall in love at school. Is there still a bit of a relaxed life? What’s the point of falling in love like this..."

Yao Ge thought he was calling back to make peace, but he didn't expect to receive such a long complaint.Yao Ge bit his own lip and interrupted him: "If you're not interested, don't talk about it."

Realizing that Xu Zihang's voice was a little weaker, he argued in an awkward and soft voice: "That's not what I meant..."

"What else do you want to say, just say it in one breath."

"I didn't..." Xu Zihang was like a deflated balloon, scribbling on the paper impatiently, "Aren't you..."

"Then I hang up."

Xu Zihang, who was hung up in the middle of the conversation, was stuck in his heart, and the apology he had just made evaporated. What's the matter?

Yao Ge threw the phone on the table, leaned his head on the back of the chair and took a deep breath, his eyes turned red.At this moment, he couldn't think, his emotions prevailed, and his mind was full of the phrase "what's the point" that Xu Zihang said.

The next day, for the first time in history, Yao Ge was called out by the teacher to stand up because he didn't do his homework.After sitting down, he was still not in the mood to listen to the class, and his phone had been silent all night.

Xu Zihang went to find his English teacher after class, and showed her the reading questions: "Teacher, are you free to help me see, right? I'm not sure about the answers to these few questions."

The English teacher likes Xu Zihang very much, who doesn't like a handsome kid?She turned a few pages and was a little surprised: "You still do such a difficult reading, why didn't you get a high score in the exam last semester?"

Xu Zihang rubbed the back of his head embarrassingly, and laughed twice: "It will be higher next time."

"Okay, I don't have a class this period, you go back to class first, I'll change it for you."

"Okay! Thank you teacher."

Yao Ge was lying on the table after class, and his new deskmate pushed him: "What's wrong with you?"

Yao Ge rubbed his eyes in the crook of his arm, and replied that it was all right.This morning he kept thinking about a question: Is he more and more like Yang Yiwen?

Obviously he was trying to escape from Yang Yiwen's control, but he subconsciously did the same thing to Xu Zihang.What is he in a hurry for?He didn't want Xu Zihang to fight for the first place, Xu Zihang's grades were not that bad, and he was still in the middle and upper reaches of No. [-] Middle School, so what was he so anxious about?

Maybe it's because...they think Xu Zihang won't be separated if his grades are good.Xu Zihang came to Nai City from Kawashima City, which gave him a taste of sweetness. As long as Xu Zihang got good grades, they might be admitted to a university in a city.Then they will not be separated.

But is this what Xu Zihang likes?Is it what you like?

Just when he took out his mobile phone and was editing the text message, the mobile phone vibrated, and the new message arrived first.

[The answer is 24131, 12321, 23134]

【Don't be angry, I'll do it obediently】

A drop of Yao Ge's tears dripped down, and he quickly wiped it away with the back of his hand.

He thought for a while and began to pack his schoolbag.The deskmate felt strange and reminded him: "There is still one class."

"Well, I'm not feeling well."

In view of Yao Ge's good reputation of never lying and skipping classes, he successfully got a leave note from the head teacher and took the subway to No. [-] Middle School.

Xu Zihang was worrying about looking at the dead phone, secretly typed text messages in the drawer while the teacher was not paying attention, but the class was almost over, and he hadn't received a reply yet.

Yao Ge leaned against the parking lot at the entrance of No. [-] Middle School, scratching the bicycle seat next to him, and dialed out the phone when the bell rang for the end of get out of class.

"Are you at the door?" Xu Zihang hurriedly packed his schoolbag, as if he was afraid that Yao Ge would leave if he was a second late, "I'll come out right away!"

Yao Ge was so conspicuous in the crowd that all the girls passing by turned back to look at him.With his hands in the pockets of his sweater, he stared in the direction of the school gate without turning his eyes. He didn't smile a little until he saw the man running towards him with his hair bouncing in the air.

Xu Zihang slowed down only when he was running in front of him, and the two of them looked at each other amidst people coming and going, and smiled tacitly.

Xu Zihang walked over and elbowed him: "Why are you so bad-tempered, you hang up the phone as soon as you say it, and you still don't reply to my text messages."

"Who asked you to send text messages in class." Yao Ge walked side by side with him, "Go eat, I'm hungry."

The two went to eat beef noodles at the gate of the school.Before the face-to-face, Xu Zihang raised his eyebrows triumphantly: "Did I do everything right?"

"right."

In fact, the content of the quarrel is not very important in the end. One is angry why the other party hangs up the phone when there is a disagreement, and the other is angry that the other party has nothing to say.It doesn't matter who bows first, what matters is that there will be someone who is willing to speak first to break the deadlock.

After eating, Xu Zihang took Yao Ge to his dormitory to have a look, and when he entered, only Xiao Wu was there.

After introducing them to each other, Xiao Wu rubbed the back of his head and asked hesitantly, "Brother Yao? Oh!" He thought he had made it all right, and was very excited, "I see! Your little Yao's elder brother, right? Brother Yao Hello Brother Yao!"

"Ahahahaha..." Xu Zihang laughed awkwardly, and Yao Ge looked at him with a half-smile, which made him a little shy.

"Why don't you bring your little Yao over here to show us? He's blowing it day by day," Xiao Wu was quite enthusiastic. Seeing how handsome Yao Ge was, he expected that Xiao Yao would definitely not be bad, "Yao Brother, let me tell you, he...well..."

Before Xiao Wu finished speaking, Xu Zihang hugged his neck and covered his mouth: "Aren't you annoying?"

Yao Ge beside him couldn't help laughing, he pursed his lips to hold back a smile to keep himself from laughing out loud.He knew Xu Zihang too well, with him like this, how could Bao Qi show off his anecdotes with Xiao Yao?

Yao Ge couldn't stay for too long, he had to go back to school after sitting for a while.Before parting, Yao Ge walked out a few steps and then turned back, and said to Xu Zihang: "I won't force you to write and read anymore, I was too anxious, sorry."

When he apologized, Xu Zihang felt a little guilty. He rubbed the back of his head and wanted to say no. It was all my fault for losing his temper first, but he really didn't want to write and read, so he hesitated for a long time before carefully asking: "Then I... Only write one article in the future?"

"Okay." Yao Ge felt amused seeing him like this, "but the words in the textbook must be memorized."

"okay!"
