Upper Class

The car started again and drove for a while before Lin Sitao pretended to wake up naturally.He Xian didn't seem to have any abnormality at all, his face was calm.

When he was about to get out of the car, Lin Sitao said, "Director He, I will go back to my third year of high school and take the college entrance examination."

People are really strange.His grandmother persuaded him, and the head teacher of the school talked to him. He thought repeatedly over the past few months, but at this moment, he wanted to see He Xian's smile.

When He Xian heard this, he really laughed—he looked at Lin Sitao and smiled: "Very good, the college entrance examination is actually not that scary."

Lin Sitao pursed his lips and nodded.He was a little annoyed, when he first went out with He Xian, he was too nervous and didn't dare to speak; now he feels that he can speak freely, but it's time to go.

"Before I leave, may I go to you to say goodbye?" He asked He Xian.

He Xian said: "Okay!" He took a note and wrote a number to Lin Sitao: "Call me at this number."

Lin Sitao held the number, and when he walked back to the dormitory, he had memorized the 11-digit numbers by heart.He tried his best to stop himself from thinking about He Xian's answering the phone in the car, he shouldn't have heard those words - that was He Xian's privacy.

However, in case, if, such sentence patterns rolled over in his mind, he just couldn't stop.

This day seemed destined to be Lin Sitao's lucky day.Heavy rain continued into the evening.The poker game in the dormitory is still going on.No one had time to pay attention to Lin Tao's movements.

He went out and called Xu Dan again.This time Xu Dan finally accepted.

"Are you really not angry with me at all?" Xu Dan asked him.

It was only then that Lin Sitao discovered that he had never regarded Xu Dan as his girlfriend.

He asked Xu Dan: "Do you like curly hair?"

Xu Dan snorted and admitted it.

Lin Sitao said: "If I like someone else, will you be angry?"

Xu Dan immediately said, "Why should I be angry?"

She spoke so fast that even she could hear it uncomfortably.

The two were silent for a moment before Lin Sitao said briskly: "That's right! I brought you a whole set of Yu Weiyan's novels."

Only then did Xu Dan become happy: "Really?"

They didn't bring up the embarrassing topic of who they liked and who they had sex with.Lin Sitao told her: "After one month, I will come back in mid-July."

Only then did Xu Dan feel relieved: "The construction site is really not easy, right? But it's good for you to come back, and your grades are good. Didn't Lao Zhang also say that if you work hard, there is hope for the second exam. Why do you suddenly want to understand? gone?"

Lin Sitao's original problem was not his grades, but his family's financial conditions.Now the problem is still unresolved, but he suddenly got a mysterious revelation and power, which made him not afraid of anything.

"I figured it out," he said, "Going up is striving, going down is just escaping."

In mid-July, Lin Sitao paid a month's salary and bought a train ticket to go home.Old Chen didn't directly persuade him to stay, but only said: "Your grandpa and the others are getting old, and it will be quite difficult for you to finish high school."

Lin Sitao had already packed his luggage—an old travel bag, which contained a few simple changes of clothes and daily necessities, and the most important thing was the bag of documents that He Xian gave him, which was properly packed and placed deep in the luggage.

"I want to finish the third year of high school and at least get a high school diploma. We can talk about the future after graduating from high school." He is very grateful to Lao Chen.After all, there was no old Chen to take him out for this trip, he hesitated at home repeatedly, without a comparison, it was not a problem.

The night before he left, he called He Xian's cell phone.

"Can I go now?" he asked.

He Xian paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'm here."

Lin Sitao heard his pause, and his heart twisted: "If it's inconvenient..."

He Xian's tone was gentle: "Come here, I still have something to give you. If you don't come, I have to go find you."

Lin Sitao carried his travel bag and carried a bag of apples.It was almost seven o'clock in the afternoon and ran to He Xian's temporary apartment.In summer, when the sky was still bright, and the indigo pink and purple were applied day by day, Lin Sitao's heart was filled with tenderness and ambition.

When he arrived, He Xian seemed to be busy with something, he was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and there was an open laptop beside the sofa.

"What time is the train tomorrow?" He asked Lin Sitao.

"Eight in the morning." Lin Sitao said.

He Xian asked him to put the things down.

"Then you will sleep here tonight. Let Master Zheng take you to the train station tomorrow morning."

Master Zheng is He Xian's driver.As soon as He Xian made a decision, he immediately called Master Zheng, not giving Lin Sitao any time to hesitate to refuse.

He Xian turned off the computer, sat on the sofa, and chatted with Lin Sitao.

"I haven't been back to my hometown for a long time, what's the area around Yuhu Lake like now?" he asked Lin Sitao.

Lin Sitao said: "A new square was built, and a 15-meter-high artificial fountain was built by the lake. There will be a light show at night in summer, and many people go to see it."

He Xian fell into memory.He remembered that when he was a child, there were no other decorations except the steps jutting into the lake.There are many people fishing, and my uncle sometimes fishes by the lake.

After both of them had dinner, He Xian cut some fruit and brought ice cream to Lin Sitao.

He Xian took another book from the drawer and handed it to Lin Sitao.

It is a famous teacher's teaching aid.

"This is Ms. Liu, an English teacher from No. [-] Middle School. She has rich experience in the college entrance examination. She is now retired and runs remedial classes by herself. I asked for her contact information, greeted her, and helped you pay the tuition. If you are free, go to her class and listen in."

Lin Sitao opened the book, and the address and phone number of Teacher Liu's classroom were written on the first page.

Lin Sitao's brain is not sober anymore.

It seemed that there was something very important that he wanted to tell He Xian urgently, but he couldn't speak, nor should he.

"It's time for you to take a shower. Go to bed early today, and wake up early tomorrow to be refreshed." He Xian looked at the time and urged Lin Sitao.It's already 09:30 in the evening.

"Ah." Lin Sitao opened his mouth and only made this one sound.He went into the bathroom and took a quick shower.He tossed his hair in the dense water vapor.This time he was wearing his own clothes—a pair of boxer briefs, and an old T-shirt washed almost transparent as pajamas.

He took a few deep breaths and walked out of the bathroom.

He Xian was busy with the computer again, and when he heard Lin Sitao's voice, he didn't raise his head, and said, "You can sleep in my room. I have to go out at ten o'clock, so I won't sleep here tonight. Master Zheng will send you off tomorrow morning." Go to train station."

Lin Sitao stood still and asked, "Am I alone?"

He Xian said, "I have something to do." He raised his head and was stunned—Lin Sitao had bare legs, and his underwear was covered by a T-shirt. At first glance, he seemed to be wearing nothing underneath.

——The boy is not tall, but his legs are quite long and straight. The only thing is that he is a little thinner, still like a child, not as strong and strong as an adult.

He Xian only glanced at it, and said, "It's okay, it's safe here. Just close the door before you leave."

He continued to stare at the computer screen.

Standing there, Lin Sitao felt that everything would be over if he took a step back, but this should have ended.He came today just to say goodbye.

"Director He..." He stammered, "I want to say..."

He Xian looked at him again: "What's wrong?"

Lin Sitao blushed.

"I want to say, thank you for helping me so much!" He was about to cry.

He Xian smiled: "You are really a child. If you want to help me, you can help me more."

Lin Sitao was confused.

He Xian said: "On the bridge that day, I was drunk. If I really climbed the bridge railing and fell down, I would either die or be injured." He joked: "You can be regarded as my savior."

Lin Sitao felt all the blood rushing away.

It all made sense.From the beginning to the end, He Xian called him a child, took him to eat, bought books, visited the university town, and persuaded him to continue his studies, all of which were treated as his students.

He only prayed that He Xian didn't see anything, otherwise, at this moment, there would be the huge words "self-proclaimed passion" on his forehead.

At this moment when Lin Sitao was so embarrassed that he couldn't breathe, there were two knocks on the door, which rescued him like the sounds of nature.

Lin Sitao and He Xian looked at the door at the same time.

After two light knocks on the door, it was a heavy blow.

"He Xian!" A voice cried out weakly.

He Xian stood up and said to Lin Sitao, "Go to the room and sleep."

He goes to open the door.

Before Lin Sitao entered the room, he heard a muffled groan from He Xian.The person outside the door bumped straight into He Xian's arms, He Xian couldn't hold him, almost fell to the ground, and took two staggered steps to hold him steady.

Lin Sitao was startled, and immediately went up to help He Xian carry the unexpected guest to the sofa.

The visitor closed his eyes tightly and lay on the sofa with tears all over his face. Even so, Lin Sitao was still shocked - he had never seen such a good-looking man.

He Xian is handsome, this person is beautiful.The lines of the eyebrows and nose are like the handwriting of a classical oil painter, coupled with his fair complexion, Lin Sitao can't imagine how he would look with his eyes open.

He Xian didn't raise his head to look at Lin Sitao again, he half knelt beside the sofa, just staring at his beautiful friend lying on the sofa; Lin Sitao couldn't help holding his breath.

The room was eerily quiet for a while.

He Xian raised his hand, stroked the visitor's hair, and tears kept pouring out as his fingers brushed against him.

"Song You..." He whispered his name.

Song You's long eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.Eyes washed with tears, black and translucent.He grabbed He Xian's hand, stood up suddenly, grabbed He Xian's shoulder, and kissed He Xian's lips.

It was a long, gluey kiss.Lin Sitao quietly retreated into the room, and gently closed the door.No one saw him.
