Tentative

It’s not that Qu Zhe didn’t think about how to deal with Dong Chuang’s incident—it’s nothing more than forcibly refuting that he didn’t “steal” it, but picked it up; or he kept silent and admitted all the accusations and spurns.In fact, there is another way, if in class, when classmates and teachers are present, he can turn on the MP4 and play the unsightly video in it, and tell everyone that Shen Yizhuo is gay.Those sharp eyes would naturally shift from him to Shen Yizhuo.

That was the picture he had imagined, Shen Yizhuo being spurned by others.

But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't imagine what kind of expression Shen Yizhuo would face at that time, maybe he would remain expressionless as usual, pretending that he didn't care about gossip at all.But how could you not care?If he really didn't care, he wouldn't have packaged himself as an impeccable top student.

But the current situation is too different from what he expected, there is no one around, only he and Shen Yizhuo who are questioning him.

Qu Zhe didn't dare to raise his head, and didn't dare to answer. He kept sweating while holding the MP4. Shen Yizhuo said again impatiently: "That's my MP4."

"No...you read it wrong..." Qu Zhe said, taking another step, trying to get around him.He couldn't explain the situation to Shen Yizhuo, and he didn't want to be charged with theft.

But Shen Yizhuo seldom discusses other people. As far as he can hear, most of the conversations are insignificant inquiries, such as "Will you go to play ball?", "Will you play games on weekends?" and so on.Most of the replies from Shen Yizhuo himself were rejections.Judging based on these, Qu Zhe couldn't come up with an answer as to whether Shen Yizhuo would tell his classmates about it.

"Hey," he failed to leave smoothly. When passing by Shen Yizhuo, the other party had exhausted all his patience and grabbed his hand impatiently, "Take out the things."

He raised his head in bewilderment, the horror in his eyes was undisguised.

Shen Yizhuo raised his voice, "I'll let you take it out!"

A certain house with the lights on on the first floor suddenly opened the window, with the light behind it, a figure stood by the window and said, "Is it Xiao Shen?"

The addition of a third party made the scene even more weird.Shen Yizhuo grabbed his elbow and didn't let go, and said in a relaxed tone towards the window: "Hello, Aunt Wang."

"I knew it was your voice as soon as I heard it. Why are you still downstairs at such a late hour?" The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Have you been out of class for a while?"

Shen Yizhuo nodded towards that side, and continued: "Well, today my classmate slept here, so I took a detour to buy some snacks."

During this process, Qu Zhe didn't say a word and let him grab him.

Shen Yizhuo's mask seemed to be on his face all the time. Last second, he had already begun to lose control of his anger, but this second, the neighbor's greetings made him return to his usual obedient and obedient attitude.

This man is horrible.Qu Zhe couldn't help but think so.

"Hurry up and go home, it's so unsafe at night." The middle-aged woman said without any intention of leaving the window.

Before Qu Zhe could figure out the situation, Shen Yizhuo dragged his elbow vigorously. After staggering two steps, he had to turn around and followed Shen Yizhuo into the dark corridor.The voice-activated light turned on immediately, and he heard the sound of the window closing. The woman seemed to be monitoring Shen Yizhuo. After they entered the corridor, the monitoring task came to an end temporarily.

"I..." "Stop talking, follow me up." Shen Yizhuo interrupted him, dragging Qu Zhe upstairs.

To say that she was completely dragged by him, might as well be said to be half pushed and half done.

Because of tension, excess saliva was rapidly secreted in the mouth.Qu Zhe swallowed his saliva, and followed Shen Yizhuo up to the second floor. Immediately afterwards, the door opened on the first floor.The old-fashioned anti-theft door made a harsh "squeak", Shen Yizhuo just walked up as if he didn't hear it.

The sound of chaotic footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, and the stair room at night always had a somewhat ominous atmosphere.

With a bang, the downstairs door closed again.

Qu Zhe wanted to break free from his hand uncomfortably, but Shen Yizhuo pulled it very tightly, his thumb seemed to be pinching into his flesh.When they reached the fifth floor, Shen Yizhuo took out the key with one hand and skillfully opened the door on the left.He heard that the reason why Shen Yizhuo pulled him upstairs was to avoid the sight of the middle-aged woman downstairs, but he didn't expect that Shen Yizhuo would really bring him to his home.

Qu Zhe never went to his classmate's house because no one invited him.

He stood at the door in fear. Shen Yizhuo had already walked in. After groping on the wall for a few seconds, he opened the door in the living room.Standing on the doormat, he turned his head and said sullenly, "Come in."

"...not good," Qu Zhe was anxious, but Shen Yizhuo's hand hadn't let go yet, "it's late at night, disturbing your parents...rest..."

"Come in if I let you in." Shen Yizhuo was really annoyed by this submissive look, he said, dragged him into the room forcefully, and then grabbed the doorknob to close the door.

"Take off your shoes and come in."

There seemed to be no one in the room.

This is a very standard two-bedroom apartment with the same layout as Qu Zhe's house, but it looks much bigger than his house.There are no decorations in the house, and the furniture is also simple and plain in color.He was still standing at the door, watching Shen Yizhuo put the plastic bag in his hand on the coffee table, followed by his bag and coat, and threw them on the sofa.

If you look carefully, you can find that although the room is clean, it is not tidy, completely different from Shen Yizhuo's drawers.Even these details, Shen Yizhuo can pretend to be perfect, in Qu Zhe's view, this is simply incomprehensible.How can someone change their habits just to let others see.

After doing this, Shen Yizhuo looked back and saw that Qu Zhe was still standing there without moving, with his head down looking scared, he sneered and said, "Are you not going to take off your shoes? Or are you not going to enter the house?"

"..."

It was the same as the voice heard in the infirmary in the morning. Shen Yizhuo was really laughing at him at that time.

Qu Zhe had no choice but to take off his shoes slowly. There were no extra household slippers on the ground, so he had to wear socks and step on the cold tiles.The pair of socks he was wearing today had been worn out for some time, but he never threw them away or bought new ones.After all, Qu Zhe didn't care too much about these things. In most cases, it was Lin Xiuyan's decision whether to throw it or not.If she hadn't thrown it away, Qu Zhe would have worn it all the time.

At this moment, he was ashamed of the toe sticking out of the hole.

If you compare yourself with Shen Yizhuo, it will be like a cloud and mud.Unfortunately, he would unconsciously compare himself with Shen Yizhuo.

"The slippers are in the shoe cabinet, take them yourself." The other party seemed not to notice this small detail, and his anger was suppressed a lot, and he said lightly.

"Good, good."

"There is no one in my house, so you don't have to be so cautious." Shen Yizhuo sat on the sofa and rummaged through the plastic bag for a while, "I won't kill you."

He dug out an unopened pack of cigarettes from the bag, skillfully tore open the transparent paper, and then took out one and put it into his mouth.There was a metal lighter on the table. He grabbed it, flipped off the cover with his thumb, and slid the gear. A small cluster of dark blue flames came out and lit the tobacco.

Qu Zhe had seen many people smoking in the past, but no one was as chic as Shen Yizhuo when he lit a cigarette.He looks like an old smoker who has been smoking for many years, his movements are just right, no more and no less.The group of people in the school were about the same age as the gangsters outside, and they always pretended to be old when they lit cigarettes, but they showed their childishness relentlessly.

"Come and sit down." Shen Yizhuo lightly exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "The aunt downstairs will contact my parents, it's inconvenient to talk downstairs."

"Hmm..." Qu Zhe nodded, took out his shoes, put them on, and walked over cautiously.

Shen Yizhuo's fingers were slender, and the cigarette was caught between his fingers very nicely.He stretched out his hand towards Qu Zhe, frowned slightly and said, "Give it back to me, and I can pretend this never happened."

Qu Zhe had no choice but to take out the MP4 in his pocket and hand it over to him.The distance between the two people is less than half a meter, and the MP4 will return to the original owner in just one second.Now that the property is returned to its original owner, theft does not exist.He and Shen Yizhuo will return to the relationship between the front and back tables, and they will not know how to communicate, and there is no need to communicate.

Qu Zhe felt that this was the switch to return to the original point. When the MP4 was returned to him, the involvement with Shen Yizhuo that he had worked so hard to create would disappear.

The moment the other party's slightly cold fingertips touched Qu Zhe, he suddenly held the MP4 and withdrew his hand abruptly.

This was obviously unexpected by Shen Yizhuo: "What are you doing?"

"Shen, Shen Yizhuo."

"Ok?"

"You're gay!"

When he said these few words, his mind went blank.The words that had been held in my heart for several days were finally spoken out, and it was an unprecedented joy.In fact, there is no need to look at others to spurn Shen Yizhuo, but now, seeing Shen Yizhuo's surprised expression, Qu Zhe feels very satisfied.

But the surprise was fleeting.The other party just squinted at him, and the contempt in his eyes poked at Qu Zhe mercilessly.

Shen Yizhuo said: "So what?"

"That……"

"Are you going to tell me?" Suddenly, Shen Yizhuo approached him, "Are you going to post leaflets and notices in the school to tell everyone? Or do you want to threaten me with this?"

"I……"

"Think about it, it's more credible for you to say that I'm gay," he paused for a moment, took a puff of cigarette before continuing, "or it's more credible for me to say that you steal things?"

Then all the smoke was spit on Qu Zhe's face.

"Cough cough, cough cough..." For a person who has never smoked, this puff is extremely powerful, and the unsuspecting Qu Zhe inhaled a lot, choking and crying.

"Spy on me every day, follow me home," Shen Yizhuo continued jokingly, regardless of whether he was choking on the smoke, "Who is gay?"

He was right, if Shen Yizhuo said he was a pervert, then everyone would believe that he was a pervert; if he shouted that Shen Yizhuo was gay, he would only be regarded as a psychopath, and would become even more disgusted.

"Don't trouble me, I'm too lazy to take care of your business." Shen Yizhuo said, "Give it back to me."

So far, he seems to have no room for resistance.Qu Zhe finally stopped coughing and handed the MP4 back to Shen Yizhuo.After sitting down, he stood up and planned to leave quickly.

Every second he was in the closed space with Shen Yizhuo made him nervous and almost suffocated.

"Call your parents and stay overnight at my house tonight." He said suddenly, "Aunt Wang will know that there is something wrong when she finds you gone...don't trouble me."

Qu Zhe stood there at a loss.

Shen Yizhuo had already stuffed the phone into his hand.

Of course he remembered his parents' phone number, but in his impression he never proposed to spend the night outside, and it might not be possible to get permission.When he came back to his senses, he obediently pressed Lin Xiuyan's phone number, and the connection was quickly connected: "Hello?"

"Mom... I'm Qu Zhe." As he spoke, he remembered that he had never considered rejecting Shen Yizhuo's request before, "I'm sleeping at my classmate's house tonight..."

In the heart, in the blood... the excitement that is about to move is clearly surging.

He wanted to know about Shen Yizhuo and to know more about him.He didn't just want to see him unlucky, but to prove that he, like himself, was basically rubbish.The three words Shen Yizhuo alone carried infinite magic power, which made him both nervous and excited, wanting to spy more, but afraid of being known.

These complex emotions are mixed together and turned into new impulses.

If, he meant if, if he could get closer to Shen Yizhuo——

"No, go home immediately." Lin Xiuyan's distorted voice came from the receiver, but her displeasure could still be heard.

Just when Qu Zhe didn't know what to say, the phone was snatched by Shen Yizhuo.He turned around in astonishment, watched Shen Yizhuo pick up the phone, and said with a gentle expression, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Qu Zhe's classmate... Well, yes, my name is Shen Yizhuo, tonight..."

He didn't hear exactly what Shen Yizhuo said, but he happily obtained Lin Xiuyan's consent anyway.

After he hung up the phone, he raised his chin slightly, regained his disdainful expression, looked at Qu Zhe and said, "You sleep on the sofa, don't come into my room."

"……it is good."
