Tentative

He dawdled in the bathroom for half an hour before he set the time back on track.But instead of buying breakfast in advance and waiting for Shen Yizhuo to arrive as before, he ordered a bowl of pea noodles at the breakfast shop in front of the school.His breakfast is usually plain porridge or soy milk, sometimes he skips it.Unlike other students, he has very few options for breakfast because he doesn't like pasta.

The pasta is wet with saliva, and the touch in the mouth after being chewed by the teeth will make him feel nauseous.

On the way to school, he couldn't help recalling his early morning dream, and when he came to his senses, he was already standing at the door of a certain noodle shop.The boiling water in the cauldron was boiling, the boss lifted the lid and put down the two sides, the long chopsticks stirred in the water, and the dense water mist slowly floated up and drifted away.During the day, many students would have breakfast in this street, and this noodle restaurant is considered the best among all kinds of breakfast shops, and it always has the most people.Qu Zhe stood at the door, probably because he hated pasta from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't have an appetite for the scent wafting out.But on the contrary, there is something in my heart that is just around the corner.

"Student, what do you want?" The boss asked enthusiastically when he saw him.

Qu Zhe had no choice but to say, "One, one bowl of pea noodles."

"okay!"

He picked a corner seat and sat down, and soon, the fragrant pea noodles were delivered to him.He took the disposable chopsticks, took them apart, stirred the noodles in the bowl, picked up some more, and put them into his mouth.The noodles here are the same as the ones Qu Zhe had eaten before, and the texture after chewing made him feel physically sick.

But before Shen Yizhuo, he was eating pea noodles with others clearly talking and laughing, and he saw it more than once.

Thinking of those pictures, Qu Zhe acted like crazy, and he moved quickly, sending the noodles into his mouth with big gulps.The faster he ate, the more he wanted to vomit, and the more eager he was to swallow.Soon, Qu Zhe was forced to cry by this physical discomfort, but he still didn't want to stop until the bowl of noodles had bottomed out.

He quickly put down his chopsticks, turned around and drank several glasses of water from the water dispenser behind him, suppressing the discomfort.

"Qu Zhe?" Just as Qu Zhe was standing at the door of the shop to pay, a voice suddenly came from outside, "Where's Shen Yizhuo?"

He looked towards the source of the sound, and it was the boy who often bumped into him and Shen Yizhuo together.The other party walked towards him, first stretched his neck to look inside the store, and then said, "You're not with Shen Yizhuo?"

"Yeah, um..." Qu Zhe nodded, "I'm going to school first..."

"Oh, good."

It doesn't take long to get along, just half a month, everyone has tacitly accepted that Qu Zhe will follow Shen Yizhuo all day long.

When Qu Zhe arrived in the classroom, Shen Yizhuo was already sitting in his seat.

He deliberately lowered his head to avoid looking at him again—compared with his previous observations, his heart has changed drastically—as long as he sees Shen Yizhuo, those pictures will appear.He had anticipated this situation, so he deliberately didn't buy breakfast for Shen Yizhuo as usual.

But in Qu Zhe's view, Shen Yizhuo didn't care at all.

He just sat there, not wanting to take another look at Qu Zhe, let alone investigate the reason for today's difference.

So the class time became very torturous. If he raised his head, he couldn't help but want to see what Shen Yizhuo was doing.It's hard to say whether it's out of habit or out of inner desire, so Qu Zhe simply stood the book upright to block his sight.

Shen Yizhuo turned around, only saw the English book standing upright, and looked away for a moment.

gym class.

The teacher lazily asked them to line up and disband after doing some symbolic warm-up exercises.Girls walk in twos and threes on the playground; boys play ball or simply skip class and go back to the classroom to sleep.

Today's weather is very nice, sunny.

"Yi Zhuo is here to play, will Qu Zhe know?"

"He won't." Shen Yizhuo lightly refused for him, and Qu Zhe nodded, making a gesture to leave.

At this moment, a boy said, "Naquzhe, help me to buy some bottles of water."

"Oh, good." Qu Zhe nodded, turned and left.

As long as he is not allowed to look at Shen Yizhuo's figure, he can do whatever he wants.The more he thought of those unsightly pictures, the more ashamed he felt.At this time, if he can still see Shen Yizhuo's face, if he is touched by Shen Yizhuo's eyes, he will feel that he has been stripped naked, naked and ugly.Those thoughts that cannot see the light will be exposed in full view.

"Wait," he had already walked a few steps, when Shen Yizhuo suddenly stopped him, "Here's the money."

Qu Zhe turned back obediently, still lowering his head, and what caught his eyes was the ten yuan in Shen Yizhuo's hand.He waved his hands in a panic and said, "No need! No need...I have...the leftovers from last time..."

"it is good."

After he walked away, he could still hear the sound of dribbling and talking behind him.

"Are you paying Qu Zhe back?"

"I gave it when I asked him to help with shopping last time."

"Ha ha……"

What was hidden behind the laughter was nothing more than saying that he was like a dog.In the past, he was like Jiang Yuzhao's dog, but now Jiang Yuzhao doesn't pay attention to him, and he becomes Shen Yizhuo's dog again, doing here and there for Shen Yizhuo diligently.

Most people think so.

When Qu Zhe came back with a few bottles of mineral water, Shen Yizhuo was galloping on the court.He took off his heavy coat, only wearing an oversized black hoodie, and was playing seriously.The coats that everyone had taken off were piled up on the bench next to it, and there were two or three boys watching and chatting.

"Yo, Qu Zhe is here."

"I, I buy water for them."

He put down the mineral water and made a gesture to leave.The person next to him became playful, put his arms around his shoulders, and led him to sit down: "Don't hurry, let's chat."

"Yes, yes, they are all classmates, why are you so nervous?"

"well……"

"Qu Zhe, do you have a stutter, every time I hear you speak," the boy asked maliciously, "Is stuttering a disease?"

He doesn't stutter, when he talks to Qu Xiaoyu at home, he is very natural.But once he arrived at this place and saw these people, it was difficult for him to speak fluently.

"What nonsense are you talking about. Qu Zhe, which girl in our class do you think is more beautiful?"

"what……?"

This is the first time someone is willing to discuss this kind of topic between boys.As the boy said, he pointed to the group of girls not far away, motioning for Qu Zhe to watch.

As for the girls in the class, he only remembered Zhang Nana.Qu Zhe had never looked carefully at what other people looked like.He is not used to eye contact with others, and no girl has ever taken the initiative to chat with him. After a long time, he has no deep impression on others except Zhang Nana who often appears in the mouth of boys.Asking who is more beautiful, Qu Zhe is too embarrassed to observe the girls, so he can only say casually: "Zhang... Zhang Nana."

"Zhang Nana haha...he said Zhang Nana..."

"Hahaha……"

The boys all laughed as if they had heard some great joke.Among them, the one who laughed the most exaggeratedly, covered his stomach, quickly suppressed his smile, stood up and waved to the girls over there: "Zhang Nana!"

Even though there was no wind, Qu Zhe's limbs felt cold, and he already realized what was going to happen next.

The boy's yelling attracted the attention of the girls, and they all looked this way, including Zhang Nana.The person concerned looked at them in confusion, and the boy put his hands to his lips and shouted loudly, "Zhang Nana! Come here!"

"Don't, don't do this..." Qu Zhe hurriedly stood up, trying to stop him.

Zhang Nana pointed at herself puzzled, but she just stood there, showing no intention of coming over.The boy turned his head and glanced at Shen Yizhuo who was about to take off and shoot the ball not far from the backboard. He had an idea, and then shouted: "Shen Yizhuo asked you to come here!"

The basketball left his hand and drew a parabola towards the basket. After successfully entering, it fell to the ground and bounced high again.

"Den, Deng, Deng."

All were attracted by the boy's words, and everyone looked at him, letting the basketball roll on the ground.Shen Yizhuo frowned impatiently, walked over and said patiently and softly, "What's wrong?"

The boy said to Shen Yizhuo with a playful smile, "I will borrow your name."

Shen Yizhuo would not get angry because of such a trivial matter, this is everyone's inherent impression.To be precise, no one has ever seen Shen Yizhuo even look unhappy when he was angry.Seeing that Shen Yizhuo really stopped, Zhang Nana on the other side walked over hesitantly.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Nana walked up to Qu Zhe and looked at Shen Yizhuo with a puzzled expression, but her cheeks were flushed.The boy suddenly put his arms around Qu Zhe's shoulders, pushed him towards Zhang Nana, and said, "Qu Zhe likes you, he just told me."

This push and shoving came unexpectedly, the other party had a lot of strength and seemed to want to see him embarrass himself.Qu Zhe was pushed and fell towards Zhang Nana. He grabbed twice with his hands, but he didn't catch anything, and finally threw himself on Zhang Nana.

"what!!!"

The girl's soft chest collided with his chest, Qu Zhe didn't have time to feel more, and was pushed away by the screaming Zhang Nana, and fell to the ground unsteadily.

Many people on the playground were attracted by the movement, including students from other classes who also took physical education classes.Everyone stared at this side, and the ponytails that had made friends with Zhang Nana heard the screams, and rushed over immediately, protecting Zhang Nana behind her and saying, "What are you doing!" She didn't know the situation here, but she knew that there must be nothing good——Zhang Nana After screaming, he covered his face and began to cry.

Obviously, the initiator of this incident did not expect that the girl's weakness was beyond his imagination.Seeing Zhang Nana covering her face and crying, the boys looked at each other, not knowing how to end it.Qu Zhe got up from the ground and quickly bowed to Zhang Nana: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Although he didn't think he was wrong.

At this moment, he heard Shen Yizhuo softly "tsk" not far behind him.

It seemed that no one heard except him.

Shen Yizhuo stepped forward, pulled Qu Zhe away, and said to Zhang Nana: "It's just a joke, don't cry."

This reminded the boy, and he quickly followed the words: "Yes, just kidding, don't cry, don't cry..."

It doesn't matter who the people present saw this scene, but in front of Shen Yizhuo, they got involved with a timid person like Qu Zhe—the more Zhang Nana thought about it, the more wronged she felt, and she cried harder and harder. I can't take it anymore.

"Hey, don't cry..."

"Just kidding, don't cry, don't cry..."

The boys talked and comforted each other, all of them looked unhappy.

Finally, the physical education teacher saw so many people gathered on the edge of the basketball court, looking from a distance as if they were about to fight, so he hurried over to check the situation: "What are you doing!"

As soon as the teacher's voice came out, everyone silenced it, only Zhang Nana was still crying uncontrollably.
