Growth pain

16 is old.

Lu Shining grew up to be 16 years old, at the age of high school, and he was still in the same school as Yuan Sen, and the two of them would go home together every night.

He had recently started growing again, and with that came growing pains.

Lu Shining thought he was used to it, but every night he woke up suddenly telling him that no one can get used to pain.

The last day of September was Yuan Sen's birthday. He spent the day with those friends and came back at night.

Lu Shining waited from [-]:[-] noon to [-]:[-] pm, and finally knocked on the door of Yuan Sen's house and handed over the candles and cakes he had bought to Yang Qiongfang.

this is nothing.

Lu Shining was in the third year of middle school when he was nervous about his studies, Yuan Sen didn't bother him, and he didn't go out to have fun anymore. He made many friends from the school during the year of high school.This is a good thing.Yuan Sen was good at sociability. When he was a child, Lu Shining often ran behind him. When meeting elders, Yuan Sen always spoke first, and he followed suit and repeated.

But recently, this sense of separation has become more and more intense, and Lu Shining clearly felt the gap between the two of them.

This gap has never existed.It's just that both sides didn't care about it before, but now Lu Shining started to care.

When Yuan Sen came back and saw the cake on the table, he immediately knocked on the opposite door. It was Lu's father who opened the door. He scratched his head and said, "Looking for Xiaolu? He said he was asleep. I wondered what time it was and went to sleep... "

Yuan Sen walked to the door of Lu Shining's room and opened the door directly.

Lu Shining had already changed into pajamas and was lying on the bed.

"Are you really going to sleep?" Yuan Sen walked over and lifted his quilt, "Today is my birthday."

Lu Shining turned over and shrank back, eyes still closed.

Yuan Sen pulled him up from the bed, "Little Lu, how old are you, why are you still playing around?"

Lu Shining opened his eyes, expressionless.

Yuan Sen pinched his face, "Smile."

Lu Shining pouted, and his speech was slurred: "Do you think I can laugh?"

Yuan Sen was hit by a laughing point, he lay on Lu Shining's quilt and laughed, turned over and leaned on the bed to look at him after laughing, "What's the matter?"

Yuan Sen has already grown up. He combines all the advantages of his parents' looks. He is tall and handsome, and is loved by many girls in the class.Such a profile angle, such a casual question, can make a little girl's heart flutter.

But Lu Shining is not a little girl, he is Yuan Sen's childhood friend.So he said with a straight face: "Didn't you finish your life outside?"

"What?" Yuan Sen sat up, supporting the bed with one hand.

"Birthday."

"How can it be counted?" Yuan Sen said, "Of course I have to spend with you to have a complete birthday."

Yuan Sen has become more and more able to speak such scenes recently, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.Lu Shining lowered his eyes, and reluctantly accepted the statement, "The cake is at your house, you can put candles, blow it, cut it yourself... eat it yourself."

But still very concerned.

Why do you care?

Lu Shining felt empty in his heart but couldn't explain this feeling.

Yuan Sen said: "Okay, you wait." After speaking, he opened the door and went out, leaving Lu Shining alone in the room.

Lu Shining moved his legs, pulled the quilt over his body again, and mumbled for a long time: "Close the door for me..."

Five minutes later, Yuan Sen came back with the cake, inserted the candles, blew out the candles, cut the cake into several pieces, and handed them to Lu Shining.

"Come on, ancestor, yours." Yuan Sen picked all the fruits from the cake to Lu Shining's cake.

Lu Shining said, "It's your birthday."

"Isn't it good to give you all? You eat."

Lu Shining raised his eyes, "Have you eaten outside?"

"Xiao Lu, what you said... so what if it is, brother, why don't you come back and wait for you to celebrate my birthday." Yuan Sen waved the plastic knife in his hand, it was still stained with cream, he stuck out his tongue and licked it Throw it into the trash can. "Hurry up and eat it all."

Lu Shining was already very full from dinner, but he still ate all the cake.

"Happy birthday." Lu Shining said.

I sincerely wish Yuan Sen happiness.

After that day, the two still went to and from school together as usual, but occasionally went out together but couldn't come back together.Yuan Sen always had some "extracurricular activities" and he didn't let Lu Shining participate in them, and Lu Shining had no interest in them either.

Thinking about it carefully, Yuan Sen seems to do everything behind his back, smoking and drinking.In his eyes, Lu Shining will always be a child who can't grow up, how can a child meddle in what adults do.

"Are you familiar with Yuan Sen?"

During English class, Lu Shining's deskmate suddenly asked him.

Lu Shining nodded, "It's a neighbor."

"No wonder, I often see him waiting for you downstairs." The girl whispered, curling her fingers at the corner of the book.

Lu Shining thought he understood, and said softly, "You like him too?"

The girl was startled, and shook her head quickly: "No, my best friend likes it, I didn't..."

Lu Shining glanced at her, with an inquiring look in his eyes that he didn't realize, "Oh."

"Really, I don't like him, why don't you believe me?"

"I didn't say I don't believe it." Lu Shining replied.

The girl was worried, "I really don't like him."

Lu Shining didn't understand why she repeated this sentence so persistently, but still nodded, "I see."

After school finally ended at night, Yuan Sen squatted at the door of Lu Shining's classroom and played games.

Lu Shining went over to look, and found that he was playing Snake Snake.

"It will be miserable if Director Yan sees you holding your phone." Lu Shining said.

Yuan Sen raised his head, "You guys are really late after school."

"Teacher is delaying the class." Just as Lu Shining finished speaking, his deskmate stopped him from behind.

"Your math workbook is out of class, don't you want to die? You can save your homework today."

Lu Shining took the exercise book, with a tangled expression for a few seconds: "I remember I put the schoolbag... Thank you."

Yuan Sen was still squatting behind him, propped his chin and looked up at the two people.

When the girl left, he stood up and put his arm on Lu Shining's shoulder, "That girl was your tablemate just now?"

"Hmm? Hmm." Lu Shining added, "We change tables every month for the monthly exam, so it shouldn't be soon..."

Yuan Sen interrupted him, "Does she like you?"

Lu Shining was slightly stunned, but quickly recovered, "No..."

Yuan Sen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you dare to bet?"

"What are you betting on? No betting." Lu Shining refused, and then walked forward quickly.

Yuan Sen's arm lacked support, and he staggered forward to escape.

"You waited for me, Lu Shining... Lu Ning! Do you have a heart? How did I mess with you?"

##

Lu Shining had a strange dream that night, in the dream was Yuan Sen and his deskmate.

The tablemate told him: "Lu Shining, I like you."

Lu Shining stepped back slightly, shook his head, "Sorry..."

Immediately, the appearance of the tablemate changed, and even his height changed.

Yuansen stood in front of him and said to him, "Xiaolu, I like you."

Lu Shining was at a loss for a moment, his eyes didn't know where to look, and he backed away in a panic, but he stepped back, Yuan Sen moved forward, until the distance between the two got closer...

Lu Shining woke up at the moment of the kiss, and his legs felt sore again, numb when he moved a little.The sky was slightly bright, and it was only five past five.

crazy.He wanted to grab the quilt, but he couldn't use his hands at all.It's crazy.

Although things had been foreshadowed, he had no interest in the opposite sex since junior high school, but...

That person shouldn't be Yuan Sen.

He clearly knew Yuan Sen's attitude towards homosexuality, so how could he still dare to like him.

Lu Shining didn't fall back asleep, woke up in the morning and went to school with Yuan Sen, absent-minded along the way.

Yuan Sen shook his hand in front of him, "Still angry? I won't make fun of you next time."

Lu Shining came back to his senses and looked at Yuan Sen.

Yuan Sen has a good appearance, a bright personality, and is good at communicating... In contrast, he is boring and difficult to get along with, always speaks slowly, and has no advantages at all.

Lu's father always said that Lu Shining's temperament was like him, and Lu Shining was indeed like his parents, but not the parents when he was young.Lu's father and Lu's mother are both over 60 years old now, so it is appropriate to speak slowly and nagging.

But Lu Shining is only 16 years old.

Lu Shining looked too carefully, Yuan Sen put his hand against the boy's forehead, "Xiaolu, what are you doing?"

Lu Shining pursed his lips, "It's nothing."

Yuan Sen joked: "You think I'm pretty too?"

Lu Shining's eyes wandered. A 16-year-old boy is not yet able to skillfully manipulate lies.

Yuan Sen really couldn't help laughing this time.

"Okay, as long as you know your brother is handsome, you don't need to observe so carefully."

Lu Shining turned his head and said a stiff "Oh".
