in love with that couple

Liu Xiazhi stood up half dead, and wanted to sit back on the seesaw, but the pain in his lower body made him sit on a bench in the corridor.

"Why did you skip class?"

Chi Xin leaned against the flower stand, took off his shirt and T-shirt, wrung out a handful of water, and put it on his shoulders.

The rain didn't seem to stop for a while, but it didn't matter, the two of them were basically two mud monkeys now.

"It's the first time I've skipped class since I grew up. Do you believe it?"

Liu Xiazhi wiped his face, and found that his glasses had disappeared when he rolled on the ground just now.

"You are so good, of course I believe it."

Chi Xin laughed.

This kid was born to be such an obedient card, a good baby in the eyes of the teacher, and a good student in the eyes of his classmates. This skipping class really broke the glasses of all the teachers and students.It is said that when Mrs. Wu, the head teacher, heard it, she said in a daze: "It must be that Xia Zhi is not feeling well... Tomorrow, the students should pay more attention to him."

The whole class was speechless.

"Actually, I am very envious of Daqi...Although I don't think it's fun to skip classes and fight. But I really envy him for living so freely."

Liu Xiazhi bent down and picked up the glasses with a broken leg, "Brother has worked hard raising me, I don't want him to worry."

After all, he let out a long sigh.

Chi couldn't help feeling sour in his heart.

Yes, Liu Xiazhi is a good boy, but he is different from ordinary children.

He and Qi Xiangtian were able to act like heaven and earth without any scruples, fighting and skipping classes. In the final analysis, they relied on the love of their parents.

Because they know that no matter how big a mistake they make, no matter how angry their parents are at that time, as long as the blood relationship is there, there will always be a time for the family to sit together happily.

But Liu Xiazhi didn't.

He has no parents, no relatives in the sense of blood.

Liu Xiaoman is not an elder brother who will take good care of others.

He has too many insecurities, and being an obedient card is the most reassuring role he can play.

An inexplicable distress floated in Chi Xin's heart.

He stretched out his hand, wanting to rub the top of Liu Xiazhi's head.

In the next second, Liu Xiazhi's shoulders shrugged, his head drooped, and he let out a deep sob.

"Summer Solstice..."

Chi Xin's hand stopped there, he really didn't know how to comfort Liu Xiazhi.

Liu Xiazhi wept silently, while Chi Xin stood bewildered.

For the first time, he hated his own powerlessness so much.

The heavy rain submerged the lonely figures of the two.

----------

Qi Xiangtian still didn't report to school the next day, and Liu Xiazhi was really feeling unwell just like Mrs. Wu said, and asked for sick leave after getting caught in the rain.

Chi Xin sat alone in the last row of the classroom for a whole day, looking at the two empty seats in front of him, he also felt empty in his heart.

After class, Wen Rui came over and patted him on the shoulder, and the two went to the empty classroom in the laboratory building together.

"what's up?"

Wen Rui basically didn't have much contact with him. If Liu Xiazhi and Qi Xiangtian weren't there, the two of them wouldn't take the initiative to get together.

"Yesterday, my father told me that Qi Xiangtian's father plans to throw Daqi into the army after this summer vacation."

Wen Rui's father is a senior member of the Armed Police Corps of S City, and he and Qi Xiangtian's father used to be comrades-in-arms.

"This summer vacation? He's not in his third year of high school?"

Chi Xin asked.

Wen Rui showed an expression of "you really knew that he was going to join the army".

"After the second year of high school exams, you can get your graduation certificate in advance. With his grades, it's a waste of time to go to the third year of high school. It's better to go to the army to exercise earlier. I thought I'd stay until the end of the summer vacation and let Da Qi's grandma take a look at his grandson joining the army. I didn't expect... His grandma left so suddenly."

Wen Rui rested his hand on the experimental table, looking out the window at the lively playground.

"You know everything... Does Liu Xiazhi know?"

"No. Da Qi hasn't told him yet."

Chi Xin scratched his hair irritably.

Wen Rui snorted softly, "Look, they were the closest, but Liu Xiazhi was the last to know about such a big event."

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he looked at Chi Xin ambiguously.

"Speaking of which, now that you think about it, do you really like Qi Xiangtian or Liu Xiazhi?"

Wen Rui smiled slyly, "This couple is about to 'break up', do you feel happy?"

Chi Xin squinted at his schadenfreude look, thinking that this guy in their "Four ~ People ~ Gang" was simply a fox squatting among herbivorous animals.

"I... I originally liked women!"

Chi Xin said unwillingly, "My ex-girlfriends are all beautiful and sexy."

How did he know that he had been straight for 17 years, and his previous girlfriends added up to more than two hands, but when he changed schools, he fell under the hands of two men.

If his former girls knew about this, they would laugh at him to death.

"Of course I know that you like women, and I also know why you came to our school."

Wen Rui smiled slightly, "The Great Lover."

Chi Xin's expression changed.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in publicizing other people's privacy."

Wen Rui said seriously, "But I still want to warn you: I don't want to break the original relationship between Xia Zhi and Da Qi because of your appearance. Their affairs should be resolved by themselves. If you intervene, I will definitely not sit idly by Ignore it. I am not Daqi, I only bluff."

A strong sense of oppression came from this boy of the same age as him. Chi Xin took half a step back, snorted randomly, and raised his head to meet him.

"Don't worry, I'm not such a despicable villain. Although I haven't sorted out my feelings yet, I Chi Xin never do things that take advantage of others. They really like each other... I will naturally bless them!"

He admired Qi Xiangtian's heroism and loyalty, and felt sorry for Liu Xiazhi's cleverness, but he also appreciated the relationship between them that had been cultivated over the past ten years.Or, what he fell in love with from the very beginning was the precious friendship between the two of them who supported each other as childhood sweethearts?

No matter what the reason was, as a man, he wouldn't be able to play tricks and separate the two at this time.

Seeing that he answered with a righteous face, Wen Rui nodded solemnly, and walked out of the laboratory with his hands behind his back.

Walking to the corner of the stairs, Wen Rui's mouth slowly curled up.

Hahahaha, this kid really thinks that Qi Xiangtian and Liu Xiazhi are a couple?

Also bless them?

Does he really like both?

Wen Rui glanced at the playground where a football match was being held in full swing, and sighed like an old cadre, "Youth is really good..."

----------

The cruel reality never depends on people's will, what should come, will come after all.

A week later, Qi Xiangtian finally returned to Class [-], Grade [-].

But Ye Meixue was no longer in the mood to bring her Detachment Army to fight with him.

Qi Xiangtian returned to school with the application form and his exam report card, applying for early graduation.

The moment Qi Xiangtian walked out of the office of the dean's office holding his graduation certificate, Qi Xiangtian finally met Liu Xiazhi's incredible eyes.

After Liu Xiazhi's glasses legs broke, Chi Xin took him to get contact lenses fitted.

Without the rustic black frame, the bangs that originally covered the forehead have also been combed to the back.It was probably due to the cold a few days ago, which made his milky face even clearer. Qi Xiangtian realized that he hadn't seen him for five or six days, and Liu Xiazhi had become so that he felt A little strange.

And he, after this trip, really didn't know when he would come back.

"When was it decided..."

Liu Xiazhi raised his head, his tone was not of reproach, but of fear and grievance.

The parting was caught off guard, even though we knew that no matter how close our teenage friends were, we would not be able to go our separate ways as adults, but after all, we had agreed to spend another four years of university time in the same city.

You're only a sophomore now, aren't you?

Why did the parting after four years come five years earlier?

Moreover, why did we hear the news that Qi Xiangtian was going to join the army from Wen Rui and Chi Xin.

He thought, he always thought, that they had no secrets.

Did everything change just because of the seat change that day?

"Summer Solstice..."

Qi Xiangtian turned his head away, he couldn't face those red eyes.

"We...will grow up after all."

Because I'm not that smart.

Because I don't want to be thrown too far by you, Wen Rui, Haneda, or Chi Xin.

Because I want to have my own purpose in life.

Because, after I graduate, I want to become a human being, and keep pace with you.

He wanted to say too much, but at this moment he knew what it means to "hate less when the book is used up".The consequence of not reading at ordinary times is that I want to give a touching speech, but I can't find a suitable word.

Thousands of words, finally merged into one sentence.

"Xia Zhi, we...will grow up after all."

Separation is the first step for me to grow up.

The teardrops in the eyes finally couldn't hold on any longer, even though Liu Xiazhi stubbornly raised his head, the tears still fell from the corners of his eyes.

Almost reflexively, Qi Xiangtian wanted to reach out and touch his head, but at the next moment, he withdrew his hand with a wry smile.

"I'm sorry, Xia Zhi..."

Because of my stupidity and my lack of progress for more than ten years, we had to face the doomed separation of youth ahead of time.

If only I had been smarter, if I had worked harder...

Qi Xiangtian turned his head and saw Chi Xin standing at the end of the corridor at some point, then walked over, walked out of the academic building with Liu Xiazhi in his arms.

He saw the reproach in Chi Xin's eyes, but he couldn't explain anything.

On the campus in June, Qi Xiangtian was still wearing the sportswear his grandma bought for him. On the back of the sportswear was the black centipede-like patch sewn by Liu Xiazhi.

His high school career ended quietly before this midsummer came.

--------

The day Qi Xiangtian left City S to report to the army happened to be the last mock exam for the second year of high school.

After this exam, all the students will be re-arranged according to the results of this exam, and the last summer vacation of middle school is coming.

None of the classmates in the class could go to the station to see him off, so he just went on the road alone.

Carrying a bag and carrying big red flowers on his chest, Qi Xiangtian waved to the tearful Li Meijia and stepped on the train to the distant place.

During the exam, Chi Xin looked at Liu Xiazhi who was still sitting alone at the whole table from a distance.

The time Qi Xiangtian and Ye Meixue quarreled over their seats was also the last time they changed seats in their sophomore year.

Since then, Liu Xiazhi's side has been empty like this.

No one in the class said anything, but everyone knew it.

The taste of separation has spread in the hearts of these boys and girls.

The exam bell rang, and after the papers were taken away, several sentimental girls couldn't help hugging each other and crying.

After this summer vacation, when we return to school again, it is very likely that everyone will no longer be in the same class.

The whimpers of the girls kept ringing in their ears, and some of the boys couldn't take it anymore, hooked their shoulders, and forced themselves to leave the classroom.

Lu Yutian was once again surrounded by the girls and took a group photo. Wen Rui also had to follow out with a headache.

In the end, only Chi Xin and Liu Xiazhi remained.

Sitting in the last row, Chi Xin looked at Liu Xiazhi who was writing the last page of "Class XX Semester Diary of Class [-], Grade [-]" with his head bowed. He got up and walked to the blackboard, and slowly picked up the eraser.

On the duty form next to the blackboard, there is also a sticker of the student on duty scheduled for this month. It stands to reason that the one who wiped the blackboard today should be that brat Qi Xiangtian...

"That guy..."

Chi Xin felt sore in his heart.

It was only a semester, and even he couldn't easily accept such a resolute parting.

Regardless of the ten years of shadowy companionship?

Did this kind of friendship dissipate so easily?

He turned his head and looked at Liu Xiazhi in no surprise as he stroked the first page of the class diary and cried.

On the first page are the names of all the students in the class.

As the last Chi Xin who came to Class [-], Grade [-], his name was the last one.

The first and second, as expected, are "Liu Xiazhi" and "Qi Xiangtian".

Now, Qi Xiangtian is gone, and Class [-], Grade [-]... also no longer exists.

"Late letter..."

Liu Xiazhi raised his head and showed a bitter smile towards Chi Xin, "The feeling of growing up...it really hurts..."
