imaginary rival

"Xiao An, Xiao An," Xie Zhu held Yan An's hand, tilted his head and asked, "Aren't we going there?"

Yan An stared at the two people over there for a while: "Let's not pass."

"Okay." Xie Zhu looked over there again.

Jiang Shiyu slowly let go of Xie Lanlan's arm, and whispered something, Xie Lanlan turned his back to the two of them, unable to see her expression.

But I could see some embarrassment on Jiang Shiyu's face.

How amazing that Jiang Shiyu would be embarrassed.

Yan An frowned and squatted on the side of the road.

Xie Zhu glanced at him, then squatted down, unscrewed the bubble water and blew bubbles.

What are they talking about?

Do you have to avoid talking to yourself?

Jiang Shiyu, this aggressive person, couldn't be trying to confess, that was too fucking sudden.

Yan An looked at the bubbles constantly floating around him, and felt that his mood was just like the bubbles, floating erratically and bursting at any time.

Very uncomfortable.

"What did you say?" Xie Lanlan stared at Jiang Shiyu with rounded eyes.

"Does Yan An like you?" Jiang Shiyu repeated.

"Who likes me?" Xie Lanlan continued to stare at him.

"Yan An." Jiang Shiyu said.

"Who does Yan An like?" Xie Lanlan took half a step back.

Jiang Shiyu was a little helpless, he put his hands in his trouser pockets, and sighed softly: "Don't worry, I just asked casually, you..."

"Wait, wait," Xie Lanlan waved his hand at him, covering his chest with the other hand, his face full of shock, "You are so casual, I can't accept it."

"Ah." Jiang Shiyu looked at her.

"If you don't want to treat me, you can just say so," Xie Lanlan looked at him sincerely, "don't scare me like that."

"...No," Jiang Shiyu looked at her amusedly, "What's your reaction? I'm just asking you, not an affirmative sentence. I myself... don't know what he thinks."

"Let me tell you this," Xie Lanlan also put her hands into her trouser pockets, and looked at Jiang Shiyu, "Xiao An...he can't like me, understand? It may be a bit green to say this, but if we can have an early relationship There it is."

After all, we grew up together.

childhood sweethearts.

Jiang Shiyu looked at Xie Lanlan, hesitant to click his tongue, mainly because he was a little afraid that Xie Lanlan would hit him directly in this state, and it was impossible for him to fight back.

But why can Xie Lanlan say with such certainty that it is impossible for Yan An to like her?

"Why is it impossible?" Jiang Shiyu looked at Xie Lanlan.

"It's just impossible," Xie Lanlan shrugged and said softly, "He... Anyway, what reason can there be?"

Jiang Shiyu stared at Xie Lanlan for a moment, then took a small step forward.

"Is it impossible for him to like you, or is it because..." Jiang Shiyu hesitated, and asked in a low voice, "It is impossible for him to like girls?"

Xie Lanlan was stunned for a while, and the helpless expression on his face immediately faded, replaced by a very complicated expression.

Surprised, hesitant, hesitant, the discomfort that the blackout cloth was lifted in an instant.

"I've heard about him and Ran Hang." Jiang Shiyu looked at Xie Lanlan, enunciating each sentence clearly, "something...is very wrong. Yan An is afraid of homosexuality because of Ran Hang, but he is not afraid of it." All gay, you know what I mean?"

Xie Lanlan said nothing.

"In his resistance, there is not only fear, but also an emotion...I don't know how to describe it," Jiang Shiyu said lightly, "He doesn't dislike homosexuality, but the reason why he dare not contact homosexuality..."

"Didn't you think clearly?" Xie Lanlan interrupted him, tilting her head, "For deeper things, I have to ask myself."

Jiang Shiyu was stunned for a while, then nodded.

Xie Lanlan's words were equivalent to acquiescing.

Yan An really didn't like girls.

He doesn't dislike homosexuality, but he is afraid of homosexuality. Apart from Ran Hang's fear, the biggest factor is probably because... Yan An dare not admit his sexual orientation.

When he saw Ruan Yu, he would not only think of Ran Hang, but also himself.

Jiang Shiyu squeezed the space between his brows, and heaved a long sigh, just when Xie Zhu was about to say something, Xie Zhu ran over, the bubble water was not tightened, and sprinkled some on her skirt: "Sister, when are you going to eat ice cream? "

"Go now," Xie Lanlan helped her squeeze out the bubble water, "wash your hands at the small pool in front."

"Okay." Xie Zhu responded cheerfully, raised his head and smiled at Jiang Shiyu.

Yan An squatted beside him for a long time, and when the two of them came over, their expressions were a little stiff, and he felt that his smile was not natural at all.

What did Jiang Shiyu and Xie Lanlan talk about?

Jiang Shiyu confessed, Xie Lanlan declined, and then the two of them had a friendly discussion to comfort Jiang Shiyu's boyish heart?

Or Jiang Shiyu didn't even think about asking Xie Lanlan for a response, he just felt that it would make him feel better to tell his likes in the third year of high school...

Yan An and Jiang Shiyu walked forward side by side, their minds were messed up, and there were all kinds of scenes. With a bgm, he could help Jiang Shiyu and Xie Lanlan play a drama of bloody youth pain, and it was destined to be be, It's too miserable, little brother Yu.

As he thought about it, he raised his hand and patted Jiang Shiyu on the shoulder.

"Huh?" Jiang Shiyu looked at him suspiciously.

"It's okay," Yan An sighed, "pat you casually."

"Oh." Jiang Shiyu smiled.

I don't know whether the news that Yan An doesn't like girls is more shocking, or the news that Xie Lanlan already knew Yan An's sexuality is more shocking.

Generally speaking, the two news are quite elusive. Jiang Shiyu felt that he was numb by the amount of news in the past two days, and he hadn't been able to react.

The four of them sat at the roadside stall to eat ice cream. Xie Lanlan told Xie Zhu not to eat ice cream when she went home today. She could only eat two ice creams a day. This was her second one today. Xie Zhu was very obedient and ordered He ate without making a sound.

The ice powder on the small stall is traditional ice powder, unlike the taro ball honey in the current hot pot restaurant, it is a bowl of iced brown sugar water with ice powder, sprinkle various fruits, bananas, apples and watermelon, and then make some White sesame, there will be some unnamed colored fruit sticks, raisins and a small lump of black glutinous rice, and finally sprinkle with crushed peanuts before serving. The sweetness is moderate, refreshing and quenching thirst.

After eating, they were not in a hurry to go home. A few people just sat in the small garden and chatted for a while. Xie Zhu liked to blow bubbles, and small balls of different sizes floated towards them. It just shattered, fine water was sprinkled on the arms, and there was a moment of coolness.

After playing with the bubble water, Xie Zhu wanted another toy, so Xie Lanlan had no choice but to buy it for her. After both of them walked away, Yan An turned to look at Jiang Shiyu: "What were you talking about just now?"

"I have something to do." Jiang Shiyu didn't look at him, "We're done talking now."

"Can't you tell me?" Yan An continued to ask.

"Probably not." Jiang Shiyu said.

Yan An stopped asking.

He really wanted to know if Jiang Shiyu, an aggressive person, had confessed... In the end, he was just guessing about Jiang Shiyu's liking for Xie Lanlan, and he wasn't sure what the relationship between them was.

But is there anything that must be avoided from what he said?

It can only be a confession.

Fuck...just confess?

It was really a sudden overnight baldness.

Yan An sat on the stone bench in the small garden, frowning slightly, looking into the distance.

Jiang Shiyu looked at him for a while, then raised his hand to pat his arm, Yan An glanced at him, thought for a while, then stretched out his hand to rub Yan An's back twice.

"Hey!" Yan An straightened his back after being rubbed by him, "Why don't you give me a bath by the way!"

"Ah." Jiang Shiyu was stunned for a moment, and withdrew his hand.

"What does it feel like to take a shower?" Yan An changed the subject as quickly as a book, "Did you take a shower every day when you were in the north?"

"...No." Jiang Shiyu looked at him speechlessly.

"Do you still take a bath when you come to the South?" Yan An continued to ask.

"Taking a bath does not pay attention to the right time, place and people." Jiang Shiyu said.

"How do you rub it?" Yan An looked at him, "Do you rub it casually with a towel?"

Jiang Shiyu didn't know how to answer him.

A bath is a bath.

How can I rub it?

And why did the topic suddenly jump to taking a bath?

It's amazing, student An!

"Tell the truth," Yan An wanted to lie down on the stone table, but when his arms were shivering as soon as he put it on, he quickly retracted it, "Every time you are silent, do you call me an idiot in your heart? ?”

"No." Jiang Shiyu said with a smile.

"You better not," Yan An pointed at him, amused, and asked again after a while, "What were you talking to Xie Lanlan just now? Are you really going to tell me?"

Jiang Shiyu said nothing.

"Let me tell you, Xie Lanlan and I grew up together," Yan An said with some inexplicable urgency in his tone, "She still has nothing to hide from me."

Jiang Shiyu frowned, took a deep breath, and said, "Yes, I can't compare to the two of you, after all, you two are childhood sweethearts."

Yan An was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, and rubbing his head irritably: "...I didn't mean that."

Jiang Shiyu simply stopped looking at him.

He now knows that Yan An doesn't like Xie Lanlan, but he can't compare to his childhood sweetheart.

No matter what, Xie Lanlan will be a very important person in Yan An's life.

What about him?

What is he.

Jiang Shiyu sighed, and just about to say something to ease the atmosphere, the emotions in his heart suddenly rushed out, and his brain, which was a little stunned by the amount of information, suddenly started to work——Yan An didn't like Xie Lanlan, then Who does he like?

On the day of Truth or Dare, Yan An clearly said that he has someone he likes, but when he was asked later if the person he liked was there, Yan An said softly, "Yes."

Jiang Shiyu thought at the time that he liked Xie Lanlan, but looking at it now...it doesn't seem to be the case.

He doesn't like girls, and the four girls present can be ruled out. Obviously, he can't like Sun Ke, and it's impossible for him to know that person named Zhang who he just knew for a day...

leftover.

Who is left?

Jiang Shiyu's breathing suddenly became short. He stood up abruptly and looked at Yan An in disbelief. Yan An looked back at him, his eyes met. After a while, Yan An turned his head and looked behind him.

"Fuck, why are you looking at me like that," Yan An said, "I thought there was a ghost behind me."

"No... no," Jiang Shiyu's expression became a little weird, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, his eyes were full of concerns, but his ears were burning red at a speed visible to the naked eye, "No, Xiao An, I... ..."

Yan An froze for a moment, Xiao An's voice was so soft, as if something was touching his heart, and then his entire chest began to tighten, and his heart beat wildly.

"...No," Jiang Shiyu took a step back, rubbed his hand on the tip of his nose, his eyes widened, "just..."

"Are you okay?" Yan An stood up, hesitated for two seconds, and walked in front of him, reached out and grabbed Jiang Shiyu's hand, "Did you have any sudden illness history that you didn't tell me?"

Jiang Shiyu was amused by his words, couldn't stop laughing, and held Yan An's hand lightly: "It's really fine, don't worry."

Yan An was stunned for a while, then said oh, but didn't pull back his hand.
