The Strongest God

It was already 1:[-] in the morning when the two returned home with JoJo. Jiang Shaoqing asked Xu Ce to take a shower first, while he searched through boxes and cabinets to find a new bedding.

His house has a layout of three bedrooms and two living rooms. The master bedroom is where his parents live, and the other study room is full of bookcases on two walls because his father loves to read books. There is no room for a guest bed. His own The bed in the room is not big, and it is quite crowded for two big men to sleep together. The best way is for one of them to sleep on the sofa.

Jiang Shaoqing made up his mind, carried his quilt to the sofa, and wanted to give up the bed to Xu Ce.

When Xu Ce came out of the shower, he found that Jiang Shaoqing was busy spreading the quilt on the sofa in the living room. JoJo obediently followed him as a quiet little follower. Xu Ce immediately understood that Shaoqing didn't want to share the same bed with him. intention of.Although the two kissed after they got together, they took the initiative every time. Jiang Shaoqing carefully maintained the relationship between the two like a snail in a shell, and he shouldn't act too hastily. Relationship screwed up.

Thinking of this, Xu Ce walked behind Jiang Shaoqing and hugged him gently, and said in a low voice, "If you find it too crowded, I'll sleep on the sofa." Then he took a step forward and lay down consciously On the sofa, then wrapped the quilt up and said, "Go to sleep too."

Jiang Shaoqing was stunned for a moment, and said: "I'd better sleep on the sofa, you are tall, and sleeping on the sofa will be uncomfortable."

"It's okay." Xu Ce said, "Go to sleep, it's getting late."

"..." Jiang Shaoqing had no choice but to go back to the bedroom to sleep. JoJo turned her head and rubbed Xu Ce's hand to say goodnight. Xu Ce smiled, patted its head with his backhand, and said, "You go too." JoJo turned around and followed Jiang Shaoqing, wagging her tail.

Jiang Shaoqing laid a soft nest for JoJo in the corner of the bedroom. After JoJo entered the room, she obediently ran to lie down in her nest, and soon fell asleep.On the contrary, Jiang Shaoqing didn't sleep well in bed, he was a little worried that Young Master Xu would not be used to sleeping on the sofa.

Waking up in the morning, Jiang Shaoqing went to the bathroom. When he passed by the living room, he found the man on the sofa curled up, frowning with displeasure on his face. Sure enough, he slept very uncomfortable. Jiang Shaoqing walked over to wake him up, saying "Go to bed and sleep for a while." Xu Ce was called to the bedroom by Jiang Shaoqing in a daze, and he lay on his back on the bed, with his hands and feet spread out, and he finally slept comfortably.

It was already noon when he woke up again. Jiang Shaoqing was cooking in the kitchen wearing an apron. Xu Ce walked to the kitchen and asked with some doubts, "Why did I get on your bed?"

Jiang Shaoqing couldn't help laughing and said, "I called you over in the morning, don't you remember?"

Xu Ce rubbed his nose and said, "I was so dazed early in the morning, I thought I was dreaming. Cough, I have often dreamed of you these days."

"..." A simple sentence made Jiang Shaoqing's heart skip a beat, and he almost knocked over the pot with a trembling of his hand. The scalding hot water in the pot splashed out, and Xu Ce immediately protected Jiang Shaoqing in the In his arms, the other hand quickly put the pot away and said, "Be careful."

Jiang Shaoqing came back to his senses, quickly took Xu Ce's hand, and asked nervously, "Are you okay, did you get burned?"

The black and clear eyes stared at him seriously, filled with worry and anxiety, Xu Ce felt no pain at that moment, he even hoped that time would stand still like this - Shaoqing cared about him, Shaoqing's heart What a blissful experience it is to have him, the whole body feels light and even seems to be floating in the clouds.

Xu Ce, who was dazzled by happiness, was completely in a state of bliss, and didn't realize that the entire back of his hand was hot red.

Jiang Shaoqing noticed this, and immediately turned around to get the burn ointment, pulled Xu Ce to the living room and sat down, applied a layer of cool ointment on his hands, and then carefully wrapped them with clean gauze.He was originally a very soft-hearted person, and Xu Ce was scalded like this to protect him, so he was naturally very considerate and gentle in taking care of Xu Ce.

It wasn't until he wrapped his hands that Xu Ce stroked his hair and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, it's just a small injury, don't worry."

Although Xu Ce grew up in a wealthy family, he didn't have the delicate problems of the rich second generation. It was common for him to fall and bleed when he was young, and he didn't need to deal with this minor injury at all.

Jiang Shaoqing was relieved when he heard this, looked up at him and said, "You stay here and don't move, I will cook."

Xu Ce was ordered not to enter the kitchen, so he played with JoJo in the living room out of boredom.

Jiang Shaoqing quickly cooked the meal, two bowls of rice, served with a few light home-cooked dishes and seaweed egg drop soup, although his cooking skills were not very good, but Xu Ce ate with relish, Jiang Shaoqing personally The food he cooks can make him feel like "home". If he can, he would like to eat with this person face to face every day, and he will never tire of it for the rest of his life.

***

According to Xu Ce's plan, today he was supposed to go to the middle school where he was studying. Jiang Shaoqing had no objection to this. In the afternoon, the two took JoJo to school together.

After leaving for many years, the school has changed a lot. Several teaching buildings were newly built behind the library, and the area of ​​the whole school has also been expanded to more than double that of that year.However, recently it happened to be during the summer vacation, the students had already had their vacation, the school gate was closed, and there was no one in the school, it was very quiet.

Jiang Shaoqing said with some regret: "The school gate is closed, it seems we can't get in."

When he came here, he actually wanted to go in and have a look. The teaching building where he studied in the past is still there. He remembered that his class was in the corner classroom on the third floor. His seat was by the window, and he could see it through the window. The garden downstairs... It's a pity that today is not the time, the school is already closed for holiday.

While regretting, Xu Ce suddenly took his hand lightly and said, "Come here."

Jiang Shaoqing followed him suspiciously, and was taken to a corner behind the school by Xu Ce, before he suddenly understood: "You don't want to climb over the wall, do you?"

Xu Ce said calmly, "Yes."

Then, the tall man took a step back, took a run-up, stepped on the tree next to him with his right foot, grabbed the wall with both hands neatly, and climbed up with ease.This wall-climbing skill is simply professional-level, Jiang Shaoqing was dumbfounded.

Xu Ce sat on the wall and stretched out his hand towards Jiang Shaoqing: "I'll pull you up."

JoJo: "Wow!"

The two masters ignored it again, and JoJo was a little unhappy.

Jiang Shaoqing smiled and said, "Let me carry JoJo up first."

Xu Ce frowned at JoJo and said, "It's so fat, can you hold it?"

Jiang Shaoqing tried to hug him, and it was really heavy, but he is a big man with a height of 175 or above, so it is not a problem to hold a dog, but JoJo is too fat to hold it.

Jiang Shaoqing picked up JoJo, and Xu Ce met him on the wall. Luckily, JoJo was very smart. With the strength of Xu Ce's arms, he quickly climbed to the wall, stood on the wall majestically and turned back to Jiang Shaoqing. wagging tail.

Xu Ce patted its buttocks to make it jump off by itself, then reached out his hand to Jiang Shaoqing: "Come on."

Jiang Shaoqing raised his head to meet his gaze. Under the sun, a handsome man stretched out his palm towards him from a high place. The moment his eyes met, Jiang Shaoqing's heartbeat suddenly became chaotic. He took a step forward and moved his hand After handing it to him, Xu Ce immediately squeezed his hand tightly and pulled him up.

It's a pity that Jiang Shaoqing is rather clumsy, and he couldn't climb up for a long time. This is also because he was too honest when he was a child. When boys of the same age were climbing trees on the wall, he stayed at home quietly and did his homework. Because of his seriousness, Jiang Shaoqing In elementary school, his grades were actually quite good, but after middle school, mathematics, physics and chemistry became more complicated. He is not a particularly smart person. Even if he still works hard, his grades can't keep up.

Now I am clumsy even climbing a wall, and I slipped down several times, getting covered in dust.Jiang Shaoqing stood there in embarrassment and said, "How about...don't go in."

Xu Ce looked at him helplessly. This honest man probably climbed a wall for the first time since he was a child, and today was an exception.

Simply jumping off the wall, Xu Ce turned around and stood behind Jiang Shaoqing, saying, "I'll carry you up."

Jiang Shaoqing: "..."

Before he could refute, Xu Ce gently wrapped his hands around his waist and hugged him up.This posture made Jiang Shaoqing's face blush. As a man, Xu Ce climbed up to the wall cleanly in one breath. He slid down repeatedly clumsily and let others hug him, which was really embarrassing.

Fortunately, Xu Ce's expression was very calm. After hugging Jiang Shaoqing, he continued to guide the movement below: "You first use your hands to climb the wall, yes, hold on tighter, and then step over your legs. I will help you from below." you."

As he spoke, he gently supported Jiang Shaoqing's buttocks with both hands, and sent his whole body up.

Both buttocks were held up by the man with his big hands, and his body was suspended in the air. Jiang Shaoqing felt his heart was about to jump out of his voice. Cooperating with Xu Ce's movements, he stepped onto the wall in one breath. Jiang Shaoqing finally succeeded. With joy on his face, he sat on the wall, turned his head to Xu Ce and said, "I'm coming up."

"That's right." Xu Ce looked at him from under the wall, gave him a thumbs up, and his eyes couldn't help but soften.

——The obedient student Jiang Shaoqing climbed over the wall for the first time in his life, and achieved complete success with the help and guidance of Xu Ce.

Xu Ce climbed up immediately, and then passed over the wall neatly, followed by Jiang Shaoqing below, and the two led JoJo to stroll around the campus.

Jiang Shaoqing felt very guilty for sneaking up the wall and entering the school like this, and couldn't help but say, "What if the security finds out?"

Xu Celi said bluntly: "Anyway, we are no longer students at school. At worst, we will be criticized a few times. We don't have to worry about reporting criticism or getting demerit punishment."

Jiang Shaoqing couldn't help laughing, and said, "I suddenly remembered that you seemed to have been criticized in a report back then."

Xu Ce also thought of that incident, and frowned uncomfortably.

***

The cause of the incident is actually very simple. At that time, Xu Ce was still a proud 17-year-old boy. Although his grades were good, his popularity in the class was extremely poor, because he kept a cold face all day long and went his own way. It was pleasing to the eye, and because Jiang Shaoqing was very close to him, he often asked him to borrow homework. Many people in the class also had a lot of opinions on Jiang Shaoqing.

"Holding Xu Ce's thigh all day, isn't it because Xu Ce's family has some money?"

"During the last sports meeting, Xu Ce ran a long-distance marathon, and Jiang Shaoqing went to deliver water to others with a shy face. That flattering appearance was really disgusting."

"Be good as Xu Ce's little follower. I wonder if Xu Ce has done him any favors?"

"No? Seeing Xu Ce's arrogant attitude, Jiang Shaoqing must be a poor boy who wants to curry favor with him..."

Jiang Shaoqing was very sad when he first heard these gossips behind the scenes, but later he became numb after hearing too much.In high school, everyone was under a lot of study pressure. It was very common to gossip about teachers and classmates together after school. Jiang Shaoqing didn't expect all the students in the class to like him. If he heard these words occasionally, just ignore them.

It's just that I didn't expect that Jiang Shaoqing came home late that day, and Xu Ce was waiting for him at the door of the classroom. When the two went to the bathroom, they happened to hear a few classmates talking like this. Xu Ce was very proud and conceited. When he got here, he immediately changed his face, and threw out a punch as soon as he said anything.

"Never mind your stinky mouth, what do I have to do with Jiang Shaoqing, it's none of your business?" Xu Ce stared at them coldly, like a wounded little beast.

"..." Although the students who were beaten were wronged, but because of the large number of people, several people immediately surrounded and fought with Xu Ce.

Jiang Shaoqing was eager to persuade him but couldn't persuade him at all. Xu Ce's fighting power was so fierce that he rushed over like a wolf and beat a few students into pigs' heads. After the beating, his eyes were bloodshot.

There was too much movement in the toilet, which attracted the teacher on duty. The head teacher called everyone to criticize and asked Xu Ce the reason for doing it. Xu Ce stubbornly refused to tell, and refused to admit his mistake. His attitude was very bad. After returning, Xu Ce, who took the lead, was criticized on the big blackboard for a week because of "fighting".

At that time, Jiang Shaoqing just felt that Xu Ce was too impulsive. He even said about Xu Ce in private, but Xu Ce kept his face sullen and didn't answer.

Recalling carefully at this time, Xu Ce was furious at the time, wasn't it because those classmates just touched his nipples?

——His Ni Lin is Jiang Shaoqing.

Jiang Shaoqing is the person he likes, and he is a treasure in his heart. He can't bear anyone to slander Jiang Shaoqing behind his back.

So he impulsively settled the matter with his fists, beating up those few bad-mouthed guys in the class who didn't dare to speak ill of Jiang Shaoqing behind his back. Although this approach was very naive, for the young Xu Ce, This is his simplest and most direct way to protect Jiang Shaoqing.

***

Recalling his childish behavior when he was young, Xu Ce couldn't help turning his head, looked at Jiang Shaoqing seriously and said, "I already liked you very much at that time, it didn't matter how they scolded me, but when I insulted you like that, I could be angry for a while. Can't help myself... If I could do it all over again, I'd still do it."

When Xu Ce said this, he gently held Jiang Shaoqing's hand.

Jiang Shaoqing's heart trembled suddenly, and the heat came from the place where his fingers were intertwined, and then spread to his heart.

At that time, he didn't understand Xu Ce's painstaking efforts, and even stayed away from Xu Ce silently for a while, because he was a little afraid of Xu Ce's ferocity, but he didn't know it at all. Xu Ce will use his sharpest minions to teach those who insulted him.

When facing him, Xu Ce was actually very gentle, but that kind of gentleness was hidden under his proud appearance, which the ignorant Jiang Shaoqing couldn't understand at all.

Revisiting the old place, listening to Xu Ce's serious confession, Jiang Shaoqing felt his nose sore.

It turns out that Xu Ce loved him so earnestly and awkwardly in his youth, and did many things for him...

Every time he encounters homework that he doesn't know how to do, Xu Ce will pretend to write down the steps of his homework in detail in the exercise book, and deliberately spread it out on the table when class is over so that Jiang Shaoqing See; before each exam, Xu Ce always pretends to misplace the summarized points and put them in Jiang Shaoqing's schoolbag, and when Jiang Shaoqing returns them to him after the exam, he pretends to be "I don't I know" calmly withdrew it; every time it was Jiang Shaoqing's turn to be on duty, Xu Ce would find excuses to delay until he finished cleaning the classroom, and then waited for him to go home together.

At that time, the things that could be done for the same table were very simple, and now it seems very simple and naive. Jiang Shaoqing didn't realize this at the time, but now when he thought about it, he found that Xu Xu had unconsciously Ce actually liked him silently for a long time.

However, Xu Ce was too proud to confess.And Jiang Shaoqing was too slow to notice it.

***

The two walked hand in hand to the third floor of the teaching building, where their classroom was at the corner.

It was a holiday, and the door of the classroom was locked. It was impossible for the two of them to pick the lock to get in, so they had to look in through the window outside. The seats in the classroom were still neat, and the blackboard was wiped clean. There is a big "Countdown to the College Entrance Examination" written in chalk, which makes people seem to have returned to the third year of high school in a trance.

"We were sitting there at the time. The back row should be the sixth row, right?" Xu Ce pointed to the seat by the window.

Jiang Shaoqing smiled and said, "Well, the sixth row."

"I still remember that I always fell asleep in class in the afternoon, and you gave me the notes you made. Your handwriting was very neat. Every time I took your notebook back to copy the notes, I didn't want to return it to you. "Jiang Shaoqing asked suspiciously: "So you didn't accidentally lose my notebook, but you hid it yourself?"

"..." Xu Ce touched his nose in embarrassment and complained in a low voice, "Do you think I'm perverted? I have kept a lot of notebooks you wrote."

Jiang Shaoqing looked at the man in front of him who lowered his head in annoyance, and his heart suddenly became extremely soft.

This is the person who has silently liked him for many years...

He didn't fully understand until now how much heart and affection Xu Ce had for him.

When they were young, many people had a moment when they fell in love with a certain classmate. Later, as they grow up, that kind of heartbeat will fade or even disappear. When they are in college, they may find someone who suits them again, the object of their first heartbeat It will become a kind of green memory.

Like Xu Ce, after all these years, there are very few people whose original aspirations have not changed.

But it was such a single-minded, dead-headed Xu Ce that made Jiang Shaoqing's heart so soft that it almost melted.

This school is full of memories belonging to them. They once ran a marathon side by side on the playground. They were once called to the office by the teacher to criticize education. They listened to lectures and took notes together in class every day. Do homework, go home together after school...

Unknowingly, they actually experienced many unforgettable details.

Later, by fate, they reunited in the Dragon Yin team, and followed the team through a whole season of baptism, growing from a novice to a real professional player, watching Xu Ce transform, and even this year's tga won the ring. King's award.

Perhaps, they have long been closely connected by an invisible bond.

Seeing Xu Ce's head hanging down, Jiang Shaoqing couldn't help stretching out his hand, stroked Xu Ce's head lightly, and asked softly, "Do you still keep the notes I wrote?"

Xu Ce said angrily: "No more! When I moved, my brother thought it was waste paper, but he actually threw all my treasures into the trash can! Because of this... I even had a big fight with him .” Xu Ce gritted his teeth and scratched his hair depressingly.

Jiang Shaoqing looked at him amusedly, he was already in his twenties, but his easy-going temper was the same as when he was studying, and hadn't changed at all.

Gently stroking his tangled hair, Jiang Shaoqing couldn't help but said: "If it's gone, it's gone. It's just a note when I was studying. It doesn't matter. I'm here anyway..."

Realizing what he said, Jiang Shaoqing's face suddenly heated up, and he immediately took his hand back.

But Xu Ce quickly grabbed his hand, and looked at him with piercing eyes: "What do you mean by that? Do you mean that you are willing to stay by my side forever?"

Jiang Shaoqing looked away embarrassedly, his cheeks flushed slightly.

JoJo was circling around him excitedly, and bit his pant leg with her mouth open, as if encouraging him to agree quickly.

"Shaoqing?" Xu Ce put his hand on his shoulder and asked cautiously, "I've liked you for many years, you should know. I've always wanted to ask...how do you treat me?"

At that moment, the empty corridor was suddenly so quiet that the surrounding air seemed to be sucked dry. Xu Ce's voice echoed repeatedly in the corridor, hitting Jiang Shaoqing's heart word by word.

... What about you to me?

How do you feel about him?

Thinking about this question calmly for the first time, Jiang Shaoqing found that the answer was already on the verge of coming out. He clearly remembered the wind blowing in his face and the white moonlight above his head when the two of them went home side by side when they were young, and the first time they picked up That stray dog, remembering that when Xu Ce got a nosebleed from his classmates and was punished by the teacher, he felt a slight tingle and distress in his heart.

He remembered almost all the details since he met Xu Ce. If he didn't care about one person, how could his memory be so clear?

Jiang Shaoqing raised his head, his originally chaotic mood gradually calmed down as if he had been sedated when he met Xu Ce's deep eyes.

With a slightly red face, he said seriously: "I...I like you too."

Xu Ce looked at him in surprise, and the next moment, his hands suddenly hugged Jiang Shaoqing tightly, and his lips were also covered.

"Um……"

The moment he was kissed, Jiang Shaoqing trembled and closed his eyes.

This was the first time he willingly accepted Xu Ce's kiss, in front of the classroom where they had been deskmates for many years.

There were only the two of them left in the empty corridor. JoJo circled around them both curiously and excitedly, and was hugged tightly by Xu Ce. The tongue that entered his mouth lightly licked his gums and teeth, and swept across his mouth. Every corner of the house, as if declaring ownership, is warm and gentle.

Jiang Shaoqing was dizzy from his kiss, but a trace of sweetness and happiness gradually rose in his heart.

In an instant, it seemed that they were back in middle school. When they met for the first time, the proud boy looked at him coolly and said, "My name is Xu Ce."

But now, he kissed him tenderly, and at the end of the kiss, he whispered against his lips: "Shaoqing, I love you."

Jiang Shaoqing stretched out his hand and hugged Xu Ce back tightly.

Time flies in front of his eyes like a movie, and the pictures from the past are as clear as yesterday. Jiang Shaoqing knows that all the past with Xu Ce has been imprinted in his heart and has become the deepest part of his memory...

Before she knew it, she had already fallen in love with him.

After so many years, I am really glad that I finally did not miss him again.
