Met in early autumn of 2001

Xu Yichen, who was in a drowsy sleep, was awakened by the knock on the door. He opened his eyes suddenly, still a little confused about the situation.The door was knocked twice more gently.Xu Zhengqi, who was sleeping next to him, frowned at the knock on the door. Xu Yichen took his arm across his chest, lifted the quilt, and planned to get out of bed to open the door. He didn't know what time it was. The sun outside was through the door and window. glass shines into the room.

"hiss--"

Xu Zhengqi woke up when he heard the sound, saw Xu Yichen arched his back and put one hand on his stomach, turned over in shock, and saw him frowning with pain on his face.

"What's the matter??? What's wrong?" Xu Zhengqi hurriedly asked.

Xu Yichen moved his legs and stomach muscles and shouted. He took a breath and turned his head to see Xu Zhengqi staring at him nervously. He quickly waved his hands and said, "It's probably the aftereffect of those few laps on the playground yesterday morning."

Only then did Xu Zhengqi heave a sigh of relief, put his hands on his forehead and said, "You don't usually exercise, but now you suddenly go for a run, of course your muscles can't bear it."

While talking, he forgot that there was someone outside the door, and the wooden door inlaid with iron sheets trembled when knocked on it.

Seeing the people outside knocking harder and harder, Xu Yichen called out in doubt: "Who is it?" The people outside didn't answer, so he said again: "Wait a minute!"

Xu Zhengqi frowned when he saw him get off the bed, held him down and said, "I'll drive, you sit down."

As he spoke, he lifted the quilt and rolled over Xu Yichen with both hands to stand on the floor, turned his back to pick up the trousers on the table beside him and put them on, tightened the elastic band and tied them casually before putting on Xu Yichen's slippers to open the door.

The old wooden doors were slightly out of frame and required a hard push to unlatch.Xu Zhengqi opened the door, only to see a handsome boy standing outside the door, looking at a man who was four or five centimeters taller than him, wearing denim clothes, his originally impatient expression was somewhat inexplicable when he saw him.

Xu Yichen sat on the bed, turned sideways to avoid Xu Zhengqi's cover, and looked at the boy at the door in surprise: "Xun Lang??!"

Today Xun Lang got up at six o'clock. After breakfast, while his grandparents went for a walk, he told his father that he was going back to school and asked him to call Uncle Li.Xun Dong and his wife Lu Nianting glanced at each other, and they suddenly smiled knowingly.Xun Dong patted his son on the shoulder and called without asking anything.Xun Lang packed his things, took a bag of fruit given by his mother, and drove straight to school in the car.

He waved goodbye to Uncle Li, and ran up the slope cheerfully under the surprised eyes of the security guard, crossed the playground and went straight to Xu Yichen's hut.Xun Lang became inexplicably excited when he thought about Xu Yichen's happy expression when he opened the door and saw him later, he stopped at the door of the hut and took a breath to calm himself down before reaching out to knock on the door.

Twice...four times... Xun Lang was a little surprised, is he still sleeping?He knocked heavily on the door several times, and when he became impatient, the door finally opened from the inside.

It's just... who is the shirtless boy who opened the door?

Xun Lang frowned and was about to speak when he heard Xu Yichen's voice from inside the room.When he tilted his head, he saw Xu Yichen sitting on the narrow wooden bed and staring at him with wide eyes in surprise.

When Xu Zhengqi heard Xu Yichen call out the boy's name, he thought he knew him, so he turned sideways to let him into the room.Xun Lang glanced at Xu Zhengqi, walked into the room, and saw a pile of thin quilts on the wooden bed, and Xu Yichen sitting on the bed with Xu Zhengqi's naked upper body, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

The room was really small, Xu Zhengqi saw that many people came in and couldn't make room, so he simply opened the door, walked over and picked up his coat and put it on.After getting dressed, Xu Zhengqi turned his head and asked Xu Yichen, "Are you a friend?"

Seeing Xun Lang suddenly, Xu Yichen couldn't react. When Xu Zhengqi asked himself, he looked away from Xun Lang's face, and nodded after thinking: "Hmm...my friend, Xun Lang."

When Xun Lang heard Xu Yichen admitting that he was his friend, his face looked better, but he didn't think...

"This is my good friend, Xu Zhengqi." Xu Yichen smiled, pointing to the person sitting next to him.

"..." Xun Lang's hand in his pocket suddenly clenched into a fist, but with a light smile on his face, he nodded towards Xu Yichen's good-friend.

Xu Zhengqi was worried that Xu Yichen would be helpless and alone here, but now that he saw Xun Lang and heard Xu Yichen say that this was a friend he made here, looking at this handsome boy was like looking at his own brother, he laughed He raised his chin toward Xun Lang: "Xiaochen's friend, that's my friend!"

"Heh..." Xun Lang smiled bluntly, turned his head to look at Xu Yichen, and seeing Xu Yichen looking up at himself, the corners of his mouth curled up and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Xu Yichen stared at Xun Lang's wicked expression, his heart beat faster for some reason, and his face turned slightly red.Averting his face uncomfortably, Xu Yichen bit his lip and wanted to get out of bed.

Seeing that he was about to get out of bed, Xu Zhengqi stretched out his hand to support his arm: "After breakfast later, you lie on the bed and I'll give you a massage. Drink more water and you'll feel better."

Standing opposite the two, Xun Lang stared at Xu Yichen who was standing on the ground, frowning and breathing in. His legs were bent unnaturally, and then he looked at Xu Zhengqi supporting him with a distressed expression on his face.Suddenly something strange flashed through his mind, Xun Lang's face darkened instantly, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong with your leg?"

Xu Yichen lowered his head and didn't notice Xun Lang's expression, but he could hear some anger in his tone.He stood up straight, signaled to Xu Zhengqi that he could do it, and then explained: "Xing Xing went for a run yesterday morning, and that's it now."

running? !Xun Lang was taken aback.

Xu Zhengqi said: "He just didn't exercise all the time, and suddenly he couldn't stand it, so his waist and legs ached."

Xun Lang's eyes flickered, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.He looked at Xu Yichen, Xu Yichen put on his coat and turned around, and saw that he was carrying a bag on his back and carrying a bag in his hand.

"Why did you go back to school so early?" Xu Yichen asked.Don't the students usually come back one by one at night?

Xun Lang raised his eyebrows, and stuffed the bag of fruit he was carrying into Xu Yichen's arms, and Xu Yichen raised his hands to hold it in a daze.

"You keep these fruits, one apple a day, and you can handle the rest yourself." Xun Lang said and let go of his hand.

Holding the bag of fruit in his arms, Xu Yichen stared at Xun Lang: "This is what your family asked you to bring to school to eat."

The school’s canteen sells either food or snacks. Fruits are not sold. Some parents will wait for their children to go home on weekends and buy some for them to bring to school.Xun Lang's parents prepared this big bag of fruit for him. There are several common types of apples, oranges and pears. The two are dark pink. Xu Yichen knows that they are dragon fruits, but he has never eaten them, because the price is not cheap. .

Xu Yichen pursed his lips in thought, took a step closer to Xun Lang with the bag of fruit in his arms, and raised his hand to signal him to pick it up: "I don't want it, you can take it back to the dormitory later."

Xun Lang lowered his head and looked at the hair spinning on Xu Yichen's head, without moving his hands.Xu Yichen raised his head to look at him, and stubbornly repeated his words, this time Xun Lang's face tightened.

Xu Zhengqi sat on the bed and looked at it for a long time, guessing that this Xun Lang should treat Xiao Chen well.He patted the bed board with his hands and stood up, laughed and went over to pick up the bag Xu Yichen was holding in his arms and put it on the small table, breaking the deadlock and saying: "Since Xun Lang wants to give it to you, then take it, friends exchange There is nothing to send something!"

Xu Yichen bit the inner wall of his lower lip and remained silent.It's okay for friends to give each other things, but between him and Xun Lang, he is just the one who receives gifts.This made Xu Yichen feel uncomfortable.

Xu Zhengqi accepted the fruit for Xu Yichen, Xun Lang calmed down and nodded towards Xu Zhengqi.

Xu Yichen looked at the bag of fruit on the table and frowned.Xu Zhengqi looked at it, sighed, rubbed his stomach and said, "What time is it now, I feel so hungry."

Xun Lang raised his wrist and glanced, and said lightly, "It's almost ten o'clock."

"Have we slept for so long?! Xiaochen, go brush your teeth, wash your face and let's eat!"

Xu Yichen didn't look at the bag of fruit, endured the soreness of his thighs and went outside to brush his teeth and wash his face, Xu Zhengqi followed behind him.Xun Lang was greeted by no one, standing by the bed, with his hands in his trouser pockets, staring at the two standing side by side in front of the sink outside, seeing how good their relationship was, he gritted his teeth secretly.
