imaginary rival

There are very few people in the beverage shop at the moment, there is only one young lady at the front desk, playing with her phone boredly with her face propped up.

Jiang Shiyu and Yan An chose a hidden place, and waited for the drinks to be delivered. After the young lady left, Jiang Shiyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's talk."

"I don't know how to say it, hey," Yan An put his hands on the table and leaned back in the chair, "That's...in the beginning, before you transferred here, two days after the winter vacation started, I was just arrested. My dad beat me up..."

"No background introduction," Jiang Shiyu interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Let's get to the point."

"Oh," Yan An took a sip of his drink, "Our relationship was pretty good at first."

Jiang Shiyu nodded.

"He... When he asked me about Qi Fang at first, I didn't think much about it, but I thought he was very concerned about Qi Fang." Yan An frowned and said, "Then one day, he told me that he liked Qi Fang." put."

"Aren't you ignoring a little too much?" Jiang Shiyu frowned, "I just don't need the background introduction, and I can talk about the rest."

"No, it was just so sudden," Yan An said, "That's it, we sat together, face to face, Xie Lanlan went to practice the piano that day, and just after playing, he suddenly told me..."

It could be seen that Yan An was actually quite nervous.

Although I don't know what he is nervous about, as if he was the one who suddenly came out in front of his friends, but it can be seen from his incoherent narration that he is very nervous.

"He suddenly told me that he likes men, he likes Qifang." After Yan An said this in one breath, he lowered his head and took a big sip of his drink.

Jiang Shiyu didn't say a word, judging from Ruan Yu's attitude and the two messages that night, he could basically guess what Yan An's reaction would be.

"I didn't realize it for a while, so I just... left," Yan An pinched his fingers and clicked, "Isn't it too much?"

"Yes." Jiang Shiyu said without hesitation.

"I'm really not homophobic, it's just..." Yan An paused for a while, bit his lower lip, obviously avoided something, and continued, "He said it too suddenly, and I ignored him afterwards, he Talk about chatting, I said no, I didn't know what to do at the time... How can I say, he said he likes men, can I tell you the truth? That's great, congratulations, or just give him a red envelope?"

Jiang Shiyu clicked his tongue.

"That's not what I meant," Yan An irritatedly rubbed his head, "Forget it, I think I'm too much, I shouldn't be like that...Even if I'm really homophobic, but he's my friend..."

"Did you just think you were going too far?" Jiang Shiyu asked.

"...No," Yan An started, "I always felt that, but I don't know how to say it."

"Go and apologize," Jiang Shiyu said, "In your situation, you have to apologize to Ruan Yu."

"Ah." Yan An looked at him.

"Usually...whether it's for family members or friends, coming out requires confidence and trust. He can tell you that it must be because he trusts you," Jiang Shiyu said. It's also yin and yang."

"Is he angry?" Yan An was taken aback, "I didn't hear it."

"...You think it's too much, don't you?" Jiang Shiyu didn't bother to explain to him, "He really regarded you as a friend when he came out to you. Your attitude is quite hurtful, let alone..."

Not to mention your insistence that you are not homophobic.

Not homophobic, but that was the reaction to Ruan Yu who came out of the closet. Isn't this clearly telling people that I am not afraid of homosexuality, but you?

I'm still terrified of being a fool.

Of course, he didn't mean that Yan An was an idiot.

If the second fool is not a fool.

"So I thought, do I have to apologize?" Yan An squeezed his fingers and made a sound, "...I'm really not homophobic, but..."

I didn't say what it was for a long time.

Jiang Shiyu saw that he seemed to be constipated, so he didn't rush him. The two of them just sat in the drink shop, listening to music, and glanced at the phone from time to time.

"So you've been worried about this since then, haven't you?" Jiang Shiyu asked, "I've been asking if Ruan Yu said anything."

"Yes," Yan An said, "It's so awkward to be beaten up by someone you like, Qi Fang is an idiot."

"I didn't hit him, I just pushed it." Jiang Shiyu said.

"That battle is enough to scare people." Yan An said something, drank the drink completely, just after digesting it, the gap in his stomach was filled again, and he rubbed his stomach.

"Let's go," Jiang Shiyu got up with his mobile phone, "Snack around and eat."

Yan An nodded and agreed.

When we went out again, there were not as many people on the street as before. The two of them walked for a long time on the street, and at the corner of the street, they met a little singing girl, dressed in black, who looked about their age, and carrying a guitar , the voice is very gentle, slowly plucking the strings, singing intoxicated with eyes closed.

The song is very nice, and the little girl's soft and slightly hoarse voice seemed to take them away from the city and float into the world she sang.

Yan An turned his face sideways and saw Jiang Shiyu looking intently at the little singing girl, with his lips pursed slightly. Only now did he realize that Jiang Shiyu's eyes were actually quite light in color, which was not bright in this kind of light. You can clearly see his dilated pupils, which are double eyelids, and the ends of his eyes are slightly raised, like the eyes of small hailstones.

"Huh?" Jiang Shiyu turned to look at him.

"It's nothing." Yan An looked away and looked at the little girl again, "I'll find a chance to apologize to Ruan Yu."

"Well," Jiang Shiyu said, "It's enough to tell him once. If he doesn't accept you, don't bother him again. Don't act like Qi Fang."

"Who are you calling a fool?" Yan An glared at him.

"I'm just making an example," Jiang Shiyu said, "Don't stalk him, the more you stalk, the more annoying you get."

"...All right," Yan An seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after finishing this sentence, "Apologizing is a must, but whether to accept it or not is his business, isn't it?"

"Yes." Jiang Shiyu nodded.

"I see." Yan An also nodded, and continued to stare at the little girl. After a while, he let out a long sigh of relief.

When the little girl finished singing a song and the two were about to leave, Yan An glanced at her and muttered, "She looks quite like Zhan Le."

"Really?" Jiang Shiyu turned his head to look at it, and after a few glances, he realized that he didn't remember what Zhan Le looked like at all.

We will know tomorrow.

We want to play ball together.

The two of them walked to the intersection and chatted a little bit along the way. It can be seen that after Yan An expressed his guilt towards Ruan Yu, he felt a lot more relaxed, and he didn't have the constipated expression and language organization ability. , The nonsense was very smooth, and in the end they pulled Jiang Shiyu to stand at the intersection and chatted for a long time, and they didn't leave until they wanted to go to the toilet.

"Good night." Jiang Shiyu said.

"I said goodnight." Yan An said.

"Say it again," Jiang Shiyu said, "good night."

"Good night." Yan An smiled, turned and walked towards his home.

After entering the elevator, Jiang Shiyu's mood gradually subsided. When he got home, he locked the door behind him, changed his shoes, and took a change of clothes to take a shower.

Passing by his mother's bedroom when he came out of the shower, Jiang Shiyu paused and forced himself to look away, not to think so much, as long as he didn't think so much, he wouldn't feel too bad at all.

Today... probably because I couldn't hold it anymore, just like Yan An's mind, I couldn't hold it anymore, and I needed someone to listen to me.

Those irritability, doubts, and anxieties had been held back for more than a month, and finally expressed after the quarrel with his mother, melting into tears. This was the first time Jiang Shiyu cried in front of others.

It was also the first time I saw someone who could cry with others.

I can't do my homework anymore, Jiang Shiyu plans to come back to do it after playing golf tomorrow.

After playing, I can stop by for a haircut. I haven't cut it for a long time, and it kind of covers my eyes.

The phone vibrated, and Jiang Shiyu touched it to see that it was Yan An's message: I'm here.

Xie Lanlan replied: Got it.

-?

- You posted it in the group, what b.

-...

Yan An posted an emoji: It's decent to leave.jpg

Jiang Shiyu hooked the corner of his mouth, clicked on Yan An's dialog box, and typed: Got it.

- Find a chance to assassinate Xie Lanlan.

-I wish you success.

-You know my plan, now you are an accessory, you have to sack her with me.

-Do not.

Yan An sent an emoji: What do you mean by that, I don't like it, withdraw it.jpg

Jiang Shiyu also sent him an emoji: Have you cried enough?Crying enough for me to go to sleep.jpg

After fighting with Yan An for a while, Jiang Shiyu finally felt sleepy. After talking to Yan An, he glanced at Xiaoqun. Xie Lanlan asked in the group: Hello everyone, this is the first time I speak in this group. May I ask this question? Am I the only one in the group?

Jiang Shiyu smiled for a while, and replied: See you tomorrow.

Xie Lanlan sent a voice message, saying: "See you tomorrow, by the way, can you two come to me early tomorrow?"

- for what?

"I think...well, give the biscuits to Sun Ke tomorrow," Xie Lanlan said in a much softer voice when mentioning Sun Ke, "You two come early and guide me."

-OK.

- Fully OJBK.

After saying good night to each other, Jiang Shiyu put the phone on the bedside, plugged in the charger, took a deep breath and started to feel sleepy.

When he was about to fall asleep, Jiang Shiyu touched his phone again, and sent a message to his mother: When will you be back?

After sending, he put the phone away, turned off the vibration and the ringtone, closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep instead of looking at the phone.

Such compulsive falling asleep caused him to wake up once in the middle of the night, habitually touching his phone, and an unread message was displayed on the screen.

Mom replied to him: not sure.

Jiang Shiyu put down his phone, stared at the ceiling for a while, turned over after a while and buried his face in the quilt and continued to sleep. He passed the night groggy and had many nightmares, but when he woke up, he was completely indifferent. Remember what you dreamed about.

The set alarm clock rang twice before Jiang Shiyu woke up, turned off the alarm clock, yawned and went to take a shower.

As soon as Yan An woke up, he called Jiang Shiyu, who answered quickly, and said lazily, "Huh?"

"Are you awake?" Yan An's voice was hoarse as when he just woke up, "Let's go to Xie Lanlan's house for breakfast."

"Huh? Okay," Jiang Shiyu said, "I'm going to pee, hang up first."

"That's right," Yan An said, "it's as if you're too big to hold up with two hands."

Jiang Shiyu didn't expect that Yan An could make him speechless so early in the morning, so he was silent for a while and said, "Have you compared?"

"No," Yan An was happy for a long time, "You said you were going to hang up."

"I just want to concentrate on pissing." Jiang Shiyu sighed, "You really... caught this cross talk anthology when you were catching weeks."

"Your mouth is no worse than mine, ah," Yan An said, "Damn you, I'm getting up."

Jiang Shiyu smiled helplessly.

Yan An hung up the phone and quickly finished washing. His mother was waiting for his father to make breakfast at the dining table. When she saw Yan An coming out full of energy, she said, "My son is so handsome. Come on, Mom will ask you a question."

"Huh?" Yan An leaned over.

"Why do you get up so early when you're not going to school, huh?" Mom reached out and pinched Yan An's face without much effort, "Why can't you get up when you're going to school?"

"Well, it's a very serious question." Yan An nodded with a straight face, "I haven't figured it out after ten years of thinking about it."

"Peter," his mother patted him with a smile, "are you going out to play today?"

"Go play," Yan An said, "Go to Xie Lanlan's house for dinner in the morning."

"Okay, let's go," Mom said, "Xie Lanlan also plays ball?"

"No," Yan An said, "I fight with Jiang Shiyu, and she will be the cheerleader."

"Youth is so good——" my mother shouted with a long tail.

"What if someone disturbed your youth!" Dad shouted in the kitchen, "You continue to be youthful, and you go out to play with him, and you will be younger."

"Your father is too annoying," mother said to Yan An, "come back early in the afternoon to do your homework."

"Oh, I got it," Yan An put on his coat, took a wristband, took another one after thinking about it, put away his keys and mobile phone, and yelled, "I'm going out!"
