faint star

On the last day of June, final exams are over.Amidst the hoarse cicadas, summer vacation is coming.

After Xu Zhiwei handed in the paper, he did not leave the teaching building with the flow of people.He stayed outside the second-grade classroom for a while, and then climbed the stairs to the fifth floor. The end of the stairs led to the roof, a large platform at the corner.The space is quiet and spacious, and he likes to sit here for a while after school.

A person memorizes words by heart, reads a book, or does nothing, just relax for a while.

But things seem a little different today.As soon as Xu Zhiwei put down his schoolbag, he heard footsteps behind him, telling him clearly—someone came to fight him for the territory.

Xu Zhi was slightly disappointed, he turned his head and glanced at the person following him, he didn't recognize him, but he was a little familiar, it was a boy at the same level and in a different class, he seemed to have only said a few words during physical education class.He didn't intend to share this corner with others, so he looked directly at the other person, hoping that the person would know the meaning of "first come, first served".

But the boy's behavior was beyond Xu Zhiwei's expectations, he didn't leave, but stepped up the steps in three steps, walked up to Xu Zhiwei and stood still.

The two looked at each other, and the boy shook his shoulders nervously as if he didn't know where to put his hands.

"Xu Zhiwei, I'm Chen Ziyan from Class Two."

Xu Zhiwei nodded: "What's the matter?" It seems that they are not here to grab the territory.

Chen Ziyan murmured, "Are you free? I want...to treat you to dinner."

Xu Zhiwei turned his head to look at the sky, the sun was shining at noon, his lunch hadn't been settled yet, but he and Chen Ziyan just knew each other.

There shouldn't be a free lunch in the world.

"Why?" he asked quietly.

Chen Ziyan's eyes were still fixed on Xu Zhiwei's face, as if he was afraid of missing the slightest expression on his face, he said, "I'm going abroad soon, everything at home has been taken care of for me."

Xu Zhiwei lifted his schoolbag, he had a premonition that he would not be clean here today.He said, "Congratulations, you don't need the college entrance examination."

As he spoke, he prepared to leave Chen Ziyan's side.

Chen Ziyan grabbed Xu Zhiwei's arm: "I've been hesitant to tell you, but if I don't tell you, I will definitely regret it, and I don't have a chance to say it. I like you! I have liked you for a long time!"

Xu Zhiwei froze.This confession came so suddenly that it was confusing.But he immediately felt unhappy—Chen Ziyan was taller and stronger than him, and he clamped his arms tightly, and he couldn't break free for a while.

"Let go." Xu Zhiwei shouted in a low voice.

Chen Ziyan's face turned red.

Before confessing, everyone who confesses has a premonition of the ending.

Looking at the expression on Xu Zhiwei's face, Chen Ziyan was even more convinced of his hunch - this confession was destined to end in failure.

"I really, really like you..." His voice became more and more desperate, "I can tell, I can tell everything, you also like boys!"

Not only did he not let go of the person in front of him, but he also violently pushed him against the wall.

Xu Zhiwei slammed his back against a hard wall, and he groaned in pain.

.

He pushed Chen Ziyan with his elbow sullenly, "What do you want!"

Chen Ziyan didn't say a word, he fell into a frenzy of desire, wanting to get a kiss.

Just when he was about to paste Xu Zhiwei's face, he suddenly heard a sneer.

The voice of the third person drifted over, with sarcasm in the joke.

"Enough is enough for you. He has already said he doesn't want to."

Chen Ziyan and Xu Zhiwei raised their heads at the same time—the door leading to the rooftop opened at some time, and there was a man standing at the end of the passageway on the platform. The setting sun shone from behind him, showing a tall figure.

Chen Ziyan didn't expect a third person to appear on the stage, and he wanted to force himself to be calm, but when he saw that person's face clearly, he suddenly let go of Xu Zhiwei.

Xu Zhiwei was finally able to stretch his limbs and kicked him hard.

Chen Ziyan was so ashamed and flustered that he ran away, fell on the steps, and ran away with a limp.

There are now two people left on the platform.

Xu Zhiwei's breathing still fluctuated a bit, he looked at the other person, and he also recognized him.Gu Heng from Class [-], the famous Gu Heng, is known to everyone in the whole grade, but few people dare to provoke him.

"You bastard." Gu Heng came over and leaned against the handrail of the stairs, looked at the direction Chen Ziyan was leaving, and cursed in a low voice.

Xu Zhiwei tugged at his collar, and looked at each other silently with Gu Heng.

"Are you from class one..." Gu Heng asked.

Xu Zhiwei said, "Thank you."

He turned away.

There was another laugh from behind: "Just leave? This is what you owe me."

Xu Zhiwei turned around, looked at Gu Heng and asked, "Do you want money? I don't have money."

Gu Heng's smile remained unabated: "Do you think I look like someone short of money?"

Xu Zhiwei thought of Gu Heng's rumors: "That's right. Then what do you want?"

Gu Heng thought for a while and said, "It seems that I really don't want anything. But it's quite interesting to meet a good student in class one, the teacher's favorite Xu Zhiwei."

He carefully looked at Xu Zhiwei who was standing sideways, with a slender, slightly thin figure, the lines of his side face were soft and clear, but there was a trace of indifference at the corner of his mouth.

Xu Zhiwei was also looking at Gu Heng.Gu Heng didn't wear the summer school uniform according to the school rules, and he wore two strange rings on his hands, with a heartless smile on his face.

Xu Zhiwei thought that he was not a so-called good student, but could only study because he had nothing to do.Because I can only study, my score is at the top of the class.

Gu Heng's voice floated from behind him: "I'll tell you when I figure out what I want."

Two days later, the results of the final exam came out. Xu Zhiwei took the third place in his class and was ranked in the top [-] in his grade, which was about the same as before.Since his sophomore year in high school, he has been stable at this level. Although he rarely enters the top ten in his grade, his wins are stable and he has never fallen.

During the break, everyone exchanged scores and rankings with each other.

The deskmate is studying carefully with the grade ranking.

"Amazing! You did better than the monitor this time. The monitor is sixth in class this time, grade 33."

He excitedly informed Xu Zhi

micro.

The monitor of their class, Shen Lian, has good grades, but he is not the first person in the class.However, I don't know when it started, the classmates always seemed to compare Xu Zhiwei and Shen Lian together.

Xu Zhiwei somewhat understood why.

Because everyone thinks that they have a lot in common, they are classified as the same type of boys - they look alike, have good grades, and the teacher likes them.

So unconsciously, they were seen as competitors.

But Xu Zhiwei never felt that he and Shen Lian were of the same kind, at least he didn't have such a cheerful smile as Shen Lian, nor did he care as much about his classmates as Shen Lian, and he was very popular.

Sometimes he felt that he was too indifferent to the people around him, so he didn't regard Shen Lian as a competitor.

Seeing the grade list, Xu Zhiwei thought of another thing.

"let me see."

"Whose ranking are you looking for?" The deskmate leaned over and asked curiously.Top students with good grades usually only care about the ranking in the front of the grade, but Xu Zhiwei is looking at the back row.

Xu Zhiwei found Gu Heng's name, and this was the first time he paid attention to other people's achievements.Gu Heng is in the liberal arts class, with a total score of more than 200 grades, in the middle and lower reaches, a little better than expected.

Xu Zhiwei passed the watch to someone else: "No one."

The lunch chat continued.

Chen Ziyan from the class next door didn't come to school. I heard that Chen Ziyan accidentally fell down the stairs and broke his bone. He was put in a plaster cast and rested at home.

"It's really unlucky for him to break a bone at school on the last day of the exam..."

"He's going abroad anyway, and he doesn't need to prepare for the college entrance examination."

Xu Zhiwei listened to the discussion of the classmates at the back table, but only looked at his test paper.Others would never guess what happened to Chen Ziyan and him just by looking at his face.

The head teacher, Old Chen, suddenly poked his head over from the back door, and the chatter in the classroom instantly dropped.

Old Chen took a glance: "It would be great if you were so energetic in answering questions in class."

Her gaze fell on Xu Zhiwei, and she casually said, "Xu Zhiwei, come with me."

Everyone's eyes followed Xu Zhiwei who walked out of the classroom, and the classroom buzzed with chatter again.

Xu Zhiwei followed the homeroom teacher Lao Chen to not Lao Chen's own office, but the dean's office.

There are already several people in the office, which is a bit crowded.

The teaching director was sitting behind the desk, and on the sofa was a middle-aged couple who they didn't know.There is also the head teacher of Class [-], the head teacher of Class [-], and finally Gu Heng standing next to the head teacher of Class [-].

In the whole office, only Gu Heng had the most relaxed expression.

As soon as she saw Xu Zhiwei coming in, the middle-aged aunt who didn't know her took out a few pieces of paper from her bag and slapped them on the table. She asked angrily, "You are Xu Zhiwei? What did you say to Chen Ziyan? Ah? Why did you seduce him?" He went astray?"

Xu Zhiwei remained silent.He hated quarrels, especially shrill ones.

The calm of the last few days of term has come to nothing.

he hangs

Eyes, seeing those few pages filled with confession, very passionate, in which his name "Zhiwei" was repeated many times, as if he himself appeared in an inappropriate place.

"I don't know what this is." Xu Zhiwei said.

"What did you say!" Swipe the other side and stand up.

Lao Chen defended the students in her class. She comforted the parents: "Mom Ziyan, this has nothing to do with Chen Ziyan's fracture the day before yesterday. It's better for us to focus on what happened that day."

It turned out that Chen Ziyan's parents were very worried about Chen Ziyan's fall from the stairs, so they came to the school to retrieve the surveillance video.Because it is an old teaching building with blind spots for monitoring, I didn't take pictures of what happened on the big platform. I can only confirm that Gu Heng went up first, followed by Xu Zhiwei, and Chen Ziyan followed him.A few minutes later, Chen Ziyan looked panicked, as if being chased by a wolf and rolling down the stairs.

This touched the sensitive point of the parents, they believed that Xu Zhiwei and Gu Heng had partnered to bully Chen Ziyan.In addition, Chen Ziyan's mother found a few "letters" written by Chen Ziyan to Xu Zhiwei in a drawer when she was sorting out the documents, which were full of sweet words.

Chen Ziyan didn't dare to say that he was in unrequited love, so he pestered Xu Zhiwei unilaterally, and lied that Xu Zhiwei asked him to write it.

Today, Chen Ziyan's parents seem to have to ask for an explanation for their son.

The two class teachers restrained the angry parents and said, "Listen to what Xu Zhiwei and Gu Heng have to say."

Xu Zhiwei looked calm, even indifferent: "I don't know what Chen Ziyan wrote or said. I have never communicated with him. If he insists on saying that, ask him to show evidence, even if I wrote him a sentence, a Words will do."

Chen Ziyan's mother was so angry that tears were about to come down: "You hurt Ziyan and slandered him for lying? He is a good boy. If no one misleads him, he will like...like men?"

Xu Zhiwei thinks that not all parents know their children well.

The smile on Gu Heng's face grew stronger, and he said, "Uncle and aunt, do you really understand your son?"

The head teacher of Class [-] on the side quickly smoothed things over: "Gu Heng, speak up!"

As he said so, he patted Gu Heng's shoulder approvingly.

Gu Heng smiled at Xu Zhi and blinked.He said loudly again: "The truth is that your son molested his classmates in the corner of the campus. When he saw someone witnessing this, he panicked and fell downstairs. That's all I can say. Accept it if you like it. If you don't accept it, call the police. Let the police interrogate you." Pan Chen Ziyan, let's see what he says?"

Chen Ziyan's parents were dumbfounded.After Gu Heng finished speaking, he swaggered out of the office. He looked back at Xu Zhiwei and asked, "Good student, do you want to go?"

Xu Zhiwei said to his head teacher: "Mr. Chen, that's what I can say. This is the truth."

After he finished speaking, he chased Gu Heng out.

Gu Heng was waiting outside, when he saw Xu Zhiwei coming out, he smiled and said, "Now we are tied together."

Xu Zhiwei lay on the side of the railing, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Can you handle it? I don't want to invite the parents."

do

The quarrel in the office was not over yet, and Chen Ziyan's parents could be vaguely heard arguing, insisting on calling their parents.

Gu Heng said slowly: "No problem. You don't need to invite your parents, and no one will come to trouble you in the future."

Xu Zhiwei remained silent, and decided to trust Gu Heng for the time being.

Gu Heng looked at Xu Zhiwei's face—a plain white face, with eyes shaped like slender fish, and the corners of the eyes drooped slightly.The eyes are clear and the eyelashes are very long, so there is something touching.Especially when not talking.

The two looked at each other, then looked away at the same time.

Gu Heng smiled and said, "How are you going to thank me? I don't feel right if I don't ask for something."

"What do you want?" Xu Zhiwei asked.

Without thinking, Gu Heng said, "Come with me."
