Wait till the sun rises

Start of school

Xu Jiming was covered in sweat when standing at the door of Xia Yang's house. He knocked on the door, and the half-closed door creaked open.

When Xu Jiming walked to the backyard, he saw Grandpa Xia chatting with a few elderly people in the shade, fanning the air with a fan in his hand.

Bailey, the big black dog lying at Grandpa Xia's feet, saw him and ran towards him, wagging his tail happily.

Xu Jiming said: "Grandfather." Grandpa Xia smiled when he saw him, "Jiming, Yangyang hasn't woken up yet?" He came back after only a few days, Grandpa Xia didn't bother to mention him and waved his hand sent him away.

Feeling uncomfortable with sweat and stickiness, Xu Jiming simply took off his T-shirt and put it on his shoulders, and opened Xia Yang's room door with his upper body naked.

The curtains in the room were not drawn, and the sunlight came in from the window and hit the quilt.

Xia Yang closed his eyes tightly, lying on his side on the mat, with a thin quilt covering his waist and abdomen.The air conditioner was obviously installed in the room but it was not turned on. The electric fan in front of the bed made a whirring sound, which messed up Xia Yang's black hair.

As if feeling someone watching him, Xia Yang's eyes slowly opened.

After seeing who it was, Xia Yang yawned and sat up, and said lazily, "Why are you here?" Then he lay down again and threw the quilt aside.

Seeing him like this, strangely, the irritability in Xu Jiming's heart disappeared in an instant. He sat by the bed and said with a smile: "It's okay, school won't start now? Let me see if I can help."

Xia Yang reached out and touched his bare back. His hand was sweaty, and he moved it in, motioning him to come up to blow some air.Xu Jiming was not polite to him, he took off his shoes and climbed up.

Xia Yang said: "It's almost done, just pull them over together." Xu Jiming nodded and said that's good.

The two chatted one after another, and Xia Yang's stomach rang.Xu Jiming turned to look at him, Xia Yang stroked his belly naturally, and said innocently, "I'm hungry."

Xu Jiming resigned himself to getting up and putting on his shoes, Xia Yang followed him into the kitchen and asked what are you going to do?Xu Jiming washed his hands and said without turning his head, "Go and wash your face, I'll be fine in a while, you can just eat."

The pot was turned on, and oil was poured in to fry the onion and ginger. Xu Jiming then added water. When the pot opened, he threw a handful of vermicelli into it, and then he beat two poached eggs. I picked up a handful of verdant green onions, and the bright green floated on the noodle soup, which looked really delicious.

When Xu Jiming came out with the bowl of noodles, Xia Yang was already sitting at the dining table. Seeing him coming out, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "It's so delicious, what did you do?"

"Noodles." Xu Jiming put the bowl in front of Xia Yang, and handed over the chopsticks.

The smell of food filled the air beside him, Xu Jiming went to wash his face before sitting opposite Xia Yang.Xia Yang ate very slowly and politely, and did not make a sound while eating the noodles. Xu Jiming dipped his hands in the water in the cup and wrote and drew on the wooden table, and suddenly asked: "Did you have a good time yesterday? "

Xia Yang swallowed the food in his mouth, then nodded, and said, "Not bad, very good."

Seeing him bowing his head and continuing to eat noodles, Xu Jiming held back for a while, until Xia Yang finished eating and went into the kitchen to wash the dishes, then he leaned against the kitchen door and asked with a smile: "Hey, did you call me yesterday? Why did you hang up again?" He joked with a smile, Xia Yang looked at him with a natural attitude, "Something happened, so I hung up. Later, the phone turned off automatically when it ran out of power."

Xu Jiming snorted, and Xia Yang said, "Go take a shower, and I'll find you some clean clothes."

Xu Jiming turned on the faucet and splashed warm water on his face.He let out a breath, feeling a little comfortable in his heart, humming a song unconsciously.Xu Jiming was washing his hair when Xia Yang opened the door and came in and said, "Where do you put the clothes?"

Xu Jiming stood naked without blushing. He turned around and faced Xia Yang, grabbed his hair and said, "Leave it there, I'll wear it later." Put it away and get out.

Xu Jiming originally wanted to ask about the girl's confession yesterday, but then he thought again, he is not Xia Yang's mother, and it might be annoying to always meddle in things, and besides, his attitude when seeing Xia Yang today is not different from the past , I don’t intend to ask any more.

Xu Jiming thought, there's nothing wrong with Xia Yang falling in love, as long as it doesn't affect their brotherhood.

The house that Grandpa Xia asked someone to find was very close to the school, and it took ten minutes by bicycle.Xu Jiming and Xia Yang worked together to move the last big cardboard box into the house.Bailey followed them in and out.

Because of Grandpa Xia's physical condition, they rented on the first floor.

The house has a small yard. Grandpa Xia nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's just what I want. I can plant some flowers."

Xu Jiming unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Xia Yang, opened another bottle himself, and said with a smile: "Okay, Grandpa, I'll find you some flower seedlings when I have time." Grandpa Xia was very happy.

After making sure that all the things were brought, Xu Jiming made a phone call, turned his head and said to Grandpa Xia, "My dad knew you were here, and said to have dinner together at noon, and it's nearby."

After eating for several hours, Xu's father was busy with his own affairs, and Xu's mother stayed to help with housework.

Xia Yang was embarrassed, so he took Han Ling and sat aside to talk to Grandpa. He and Xu Jiming clumsily sorted the things they brought, and when they were all cleaned up, it was already dark.

Xu Jiming threw the mop in the corner of the wall, hooked Xia Yang's neck covered in sweat, and cheered, "It's done."

Regarding his childishness, Han Ling smiled lightly and said, "Okay, let's eat."

Xia Yang asked, "Where's Uncle?"

Han Ling put a plate of shredded potatoes on the table, and said with a smile, "Your uncle works overtime at night and eats outside. Don't wait for him, come and taste it, auntie made your favorite food."

After eating with chopsticks, Xia Yang said, "Auntie's craftsmanship has improved again."

"This kid can really talk."

Xu Jiming picked up a shrimp and threw it into Xia Yang's bowl, and chimed in, "It's really more delicious, Mom, you're awesome." After eating the meal, the smile on Han Ling's face never disappeared.

Before going home after dinner, Xu Jiming threw the bag on the sofa to Xia Yang.

Xia Yang took it and asked, "What is this?"

Xu Jiming said, "Sunscreen."

Seeing Xia Yang looking at him, he explained: "The sun is too poisonous now, so I put a little on it during military training. I specially took the uncolored one, so you can just put it on. Otherwise, you will suffer."

Han Ling smiled at Grandpa Xia and said, "Look at this kid, he's really thinking carefully. I've thought of all this."

It's been a few days since school started.

During the big break that day, Xu Jiming put his school uniform on his head and ran to the playground with two bottles of mineral water in his hand.

From a distance, I saw the unlucky boy in the first year of high school standing in a military posture, and at a glance, the playground was full of students wearing camouflage military training uniforms.

Xu Jiming pushed aside the crowd and found a shady place to stand. When the instructor ordered him to rest, he found Xia Yang in the crowd and handed him the mineral water.

Xia Yang's lips were chapped, and Xu Jiming proposed again with some distress, "Why don't you just pretend to be sick."

Xia Yang poured down half a bottle of ice water, shook his head and said no need, Xu Jiming looked at Xia Yang's tanned face, frowning slightly.When the class bell rang, Xia Yang stuffed the mineral water bottle into Xu Jiming's arms and pushed him back.

Xu Jiming said: "Let's go home together after school. I'll come to you."

Xia Yang put the hat on his head, smiled and waved at him.

As soon as Xu Jiming got off the teaching building after school, he was stopped by Li Annian who followed behind him.

Li Annian said, "Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Going to the bathroom?"

"Go and go yourself."

Li Annian said, "Then let's have dinner together."

Xu Jiming walked a few steps quickly, shook him off, and said without looking back: "Go by yourself, I have something else to do."

Seeing him going all the way to the playground, Li Annian's teeth ached for a while, he kicked a small stone on the ground hard, cursed a word before leaving with the others.

On the way, we met many students who were disbanded from military training, each of them looked like a torn daylily. Xu Jiming went all the way to the playground, but he didn't see the person he was looking for. He walked around the playground a few times before he found Xia Yang in the corner figure.

Besides Xia Yang, there was another person standing there. Judging by her figure, she was a girl.

Xu Jiming walked over quietly, with half of his body leaning against Xia Yang's back, staring at the back of the person who left, "Who is that?"

Xia Yang was startled by him, took a step back and said, "It's nothing, junior high school classmate."

Xu Jiming snorted, pulled Xia Yang's wrist and said, "We're sunburned, let's go back quickly."

This so-called junior high school classmate did not attract Xu Jiming's special attention. His daily routine was to go to school with Xia Yang in the morning and after school together, and sometimes stay at Xia Yang's house all night. His life was peaceful and fulfilling.

Until one day, Xia Yang's junior high school classmate came to him on his own initiative.
