Lingering heart palpitations

Xu Zixin walked across the short overpass between the teacher's office building and the teaching building, with his hands in the pockets of his black coat, and was stopped when he passed by a few girls.

"Xu Zixin, this is for you—" The leading girl handed over a bottle of Coke.

Xu Zixin looked down at Coke, then turned his eyes to the girl's cheeks that were a little red from the cold wind, and asked knowingly, "What are you doing to me?"

The girl was obviously choked by his question, she didn't dare to look at his face, and faltered, "Just...don't you like Coke?"

Xu Zixin sneered, "I still like Apollo, the sun god—" He turned around and left without taking the drink handed over by the other party.

After taking two steps, he turned around and walked back, and asked solemnly, "Is that you who put drinks on my table every day? Don't let it go, let me tell you, it's considerate enough to give people iced Coke in winter." Ya, you—" After finishing speaking, before the girl could answer, she walked away without looking back, selectively ignoring the discussions of the girls behind her.

Facing the flyover was the classroom of Class 10 and [-] of Senior High School. There were still [-] minutes before the bell for evening self-study, but he didn't go back to the classroom. He went down the nearest stairs and ran into Zhou Mo who came back after dinner.

"Where are you going? There's still 10 minutes to class—"

Xu Zixin reached out and snatched the bar of dark chocolate she was holding, and replied, "I'm going to the infirmary."

Zhou Mo was startled, and immediately understood what he meant, showing a sad expression, "You can't be serious, are you——I said those words in vain—give me the chocolate!"

Xu Zixin walked down the stairs, avoiding the other party's hand that was about to pull him, and naturally put the chocolate into his right pocket, "Hey, I'm thinking about your figure! You've gained weight recently——"

Zhou Mo's distraught voice came from behind, "You're the one who got fat—"

When he reached the first floor, Xu Zixin suddenly remembered that he didn't know where the infirmary was, so he casually grabbed a passing boy to ask for directions.

"Do you know where the infirmary is?"

The man was looking down at the phone, looked up at him, and replied, "Ground floor of Teaching Building No. 4, Room 104—" His tone was rather impatient.

"Oh, thanks"

The man shook his head without looking up.

Xu Zixin raised his eyebrows, walked in front of him, bypassed their senior one teaching building, bypassed the cafeteria and No. 2 playground, and walked up the corridor of No. 4 teaching building.

He turned his head slightly, and accidentally found that the boy he had asked for directions was still following him.

Teaching building No. 4 is the teaching building for the third year of high school. The first floor of the ground floor is full of activity rooms or infirmary. The second floor has classrooms for students to attend classes. Room 104 is at the end of the corridor.

Xu Zixin walked halfway through the corridor on the first floor, turned his head inadvertently, and suddenly found that the other party was about five steps behind him, and couldn't help being surprised.

If he was a third-year student, he should have taken the stairs over there to go back to the classroom just now. If he wanted to leave the school gate—who is okay to leave the school gate with a cup of hot drink?And no backpack.

Oh--

It only took 0.1 second for Xu Zixin to come up with the answer with his shrewd brain——

The man was following him.

Probably the same as the girl who stopped him on the flyover just now, she wanted to bring him a drink.

Although I don't know what kind of hot drink he's holding in his hand, it's much warmer than the iced cola that regularly appears on his table every day, um—it's an improvement.

When I was asking for directions, I didn’t pay attention to what the other person looked like. He was wearing glasses and looked quite white. He was probably about ten centimeters shorter than him—it’s just that he was too addicted to his mobile phone and was not very satisfied... ..

Oh...Maybe it's because I'm shy, I don't dare to look at him...

Thinking wildly, they have already passed the penultimate musical instrument club activity room——

Xu Zixin stopped at the door of the infirmary, the corners of his mouth curled up, thinking, if he didn't stop him now, he would go in.

Just at this moment, the person behind picked up the phone and stopped in the corridor.

Xu Zixin let out a "tsk", and Youyou sighed in his heart, alas, why are you still cowardly...

Xu Zixin shook his head, opened the door of the infirmary and walked in.

Although he didn't know what he was regretting.

The incandescent light in the room shone on the blue curtains and white sheets, showing a cold feeling.In the air, the smell of disinfectant is very strong.

There was no one in front of the wooden desk with computers and notebooks against the wall, and the off-white medicine cabinet was locked, and most of it contained some anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers.

The only light blue cloth curtain blocked the bed in the middle, Xu Zixin called out tentatively, "Yu Ran?"

The person behind the curtain responded softly, as if he had just woken up, "Yeah".

"Are you okay?" Xu Zixin walked to her bed and looked down at her.

Just after the basketball game was over, Yu Ran realized that his ankle was sprained and his ankle was swollen, so he came to the infirmary to bandage it.

She was covered with the quilt in the infirmary, and only her head was exposed. As soon as she turned her head and saw his face, she wrinkled her face in disgust—much like the reaction of a young child when he sees a bedbug.. ....

Xu Zixin was naturally very dissatisfied with this reaction, "I said...what's the matter with you, every time I see—"

"Let's go!" Yu Ran interrupted him, turned his face to the other side unwillingly, and closed his eyes as if he didn't want to face the reality.

Xu Zixin was also very puzzled, since when was he so annoying since he was a child?Or for no reason....

Thinking about how he is such a tall, handsome, lively, cheerful, responsible young man, how could he be so unbearable when he came to her...

As soon as his temper came up, he started to play tricks on her.

He looked at Yu Ran's closed eyes, wishing he could stay away from him a little bit more, and said quietly, with a very casual tone, "You don't close your eyes to wait for me to kiss you, do you?"

"What?" Yu Ran opened his eyes suddenly, and looked at him in disbelief, as if he had just heard the news that he was born with the wrong girl next door.

"I said—" Xu Zixin repeated it with a serious face, "It's a bit old-fashioned to use this way of hating others to attract people's attention."

Yu Ran was taken aback, and even wondered if there was something wrong with her reading ability. Why did she understand every word the person in front of her said, but she didn't know what it meant when they were connected together?

"I'll teach you." Xu Zixin patted the side of her bed lightly, motioning for her to lean over.

Yu Ran subconsciously moved closer.

"We all like cute and pitiful ones, do you understand? Those who can't unscrew the bottle cap and need our help, those who can't wipe the top of the blackboard and need our help, those who can't move homework, and those who need our help when they are tired of playing ball and thirsty. The kind with warm water—it’s not for people to walk away when they see people with a cold face all day long, how can I like you like you, huh?”

The expression on Xu Zixin's face was serious, and his teaching attitude was extremely sincere and serious.

"Wait" Yu Ran stretched out a hand and interrupted calmly, "When did I want you to like me?"

"It's okay." Xu Zixin waved his hands openly, "It's fine if you don't admit it, it's okay, as long as you change it, everything can be done again."

what a mess...

Yu Ran, one head and two older, was dazzled by his words.

Seeing her confused expression, Xu Zixin smiled amusedly, took out a box of hot milk from his left pocket and put it beside her pillow, "Drink this quickly—I'm going back to study by myself at night."

"Ah?" Yu Ran frowned and uttered a single syllable.

The patient Xu Zixin who was still saying "everything can be restarted" two seconds ago disappeared in an instant. He tugged at the corner of her quilt impatiently and urged, "Hurry up, what time is it? Drink me I went to class."

Yu Ran looked confused and resisted: "?? Why do I have to drink?"

"Don't ask why, hurry up, get up—" He said and pulled her arm that was not under the quilt, "You think I'd like to take care of you like an old woman, if it wasn't—"

Yu Ran sat up and continued to resist, "Are you sick——"

Xu Zixin, who had completely lost his patience, began to choose to use force, put the milk into the straw, forced it into the opponent's hand, and forced the straw into the opponent's mouth, but Yu Ran resisted stubbornly.

The arms of the two people were twisted together, and neither side showed weakness——

"Hey, isn't it over after you drink it? Do you have to sing against me??"

"are you crazy--"

"Damn, are you a girl, you're so energetic—"

"Go away—"

The two were glued to each other, a nice boy came from the edge of the blue curtain, a little cold.

"What are you doing?"

As soon as Xu Zixin raised his head, he saw the boy who was behind him just now standing at the end of the bed, looking coldly at the two twisted together, no, to be precise, he was looking at him.

Hey, after a long time of ideological struggle outside, it is finally time to take the first step?If you take a closer look, it looks a bit good-looking, and also a bit familiar.

Xu Zixin let go of Yu Ran's arm, patted the folds on his sleeve, and said to the boy wearing glasses, "Come on, let's go out and talk—"

The boy was taken aback, the expression on his face seemed a little surprised.

Yu Ran who was sitting on the bed suddenly said, "Brother! Don't talk to him!"

Xu Zixin: "?? Brother?" Upon closer inspection, the facial features of the two are indeed very similar——

The boy glanced at him, didn't say a word, went to Yu Ran and handed her the hot drink, and said softly, "Drink it soon, it will be cold later—" He raised his hand and put the milk in her hand On the bedside cabinet.

Xu Zixin watched his series of movements, and later realized that he followed him just now because he was going to the infirmary—how did he come to the latter conclusion? ?

Just as he was wondering, the other party had already walked around him and patted him on the shoulder, with a gloomy expression on his face, as if a storm was about to come, "Come on, let's go out and talk."

Yu Ran was still trying his best to stop him, "Brother!! Don't talk to him!!", almost rolling on the bed.

However, brother Yu Ran had already gently closed the door.

When Xu Zixin returned to the classroom, the preparatory bell had already rang for half an hour, and the head teacher stood on the podium to read out the list of students who were late for this week.

He came in through the front door, the head teacher glanced at him, and continued to read the list in his hand.

"What's wrong with your mouth?" Zhou Mo in the front seat turned around and looked at his face.

On Xu Zixin's mouth, there was an extra scar with dried blood, a slanted scar, dark red, especially conspicuous on his beautiful lower lip.

"It's okay." Xu Zi answered her nonchalantly, stretched out his hand to straighten his coat collar, and recalled in his mind 10 minutes ago, in the corridor outside the infirmary, the other party's hand grabbing his collar and the other party suddenly enlarged in front of him s face.

That fucking boy's hand——

The knuckles are well-defined, well-proportioned and slender. When he grasped his collar with force, there were faintly visible veins on the back of his hand, and his round and cold fingertips inadvertently grazed his chin.

Those light brown eyes showed a certain alienation, and there was a tiny mole in the corner of his left eye—what was it called?Mole of tears?

He reached out and touched his chapped lips, thoughtfully.

It was when the other party grabbed his collar and pulled it down, he accidentally knocked it on himself - he was already shorter than him, so why did he pull the collar.

The momentum of questioning was not weak at all, the pink lips in front of his eyes opened and closed, which made him almost fail to hear what the other party said.

"Have you ever forced a girl like this?"

"What the hell were you going to do just now?"

"........"

Strangely, Xu Zixin didn't feel uncomfortable with someone of the same sex, with their noses facing each other, with a distance of only 30 centimeters.Or to be more precise, it should not be classified as comfortable or not——

He's kind of...how should I put it, like he's suddenly possessed.

Some senses become dull, or even completely useless. For example, his ears—the sound close to his ears seems to come from afar, and he can't hear clearly. It didn't enter my mind, and what was replaced was the huge roar when the plane took off.

Some senses became extremely sensitive——his full-sighted eyesight seemed to be suddenly enlightened by a master in less than a second, and he was able to notice some things that he was completely blind to on weekdays.For example, it turns out that a person with raised eyelashes is so beautiful, and there is also a very small mole at the beginning of the jaw line next to his earlobe.

What was that smell on him—like the smell he smelled when he helped his brother pick up his nephew last time, and picked up that soft child, but it was different.

.......

When I came back to my senses, the head teacher had already left, and the classroom was so quiet that only the sound of flipping books remained.

Xu Zixin took out the dark chocolate in his pocket and broke it into two pieces, bit one piece into his mouth and chewed it fiercely, then threw the other piece to Zhou Mo who was in the front seat, and said in a low voice, "Take it, I'll warm it up for you."

Zhou Mo looked at the physics multiple-choice questions in front of him without turning his head, and said jokingly, "The chocolate is still hot", and was about to take a pen to check the options when Xu Zixin grabbed the sweater hat.

"Hey, let me ask you something - do you know that Yu Ran has an older brother?"

"??" Zhou Mo turned his head and examined his face carefully, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Is it her brother?"

"Yeah, you don't know? The name is Yu Ji, I have lingering fear, that lingering fear, Class [-] and [-], is very famous, our school grass—"

Xu Zixin curled his lips disapprovingly, thinking of the other party's face that was a bit too delicate for a boy, "Who the hell judged the school grass, he is not as handsome as I am."

Zhou Mo rarely countered his narcissism, and nodded slightly in agreement.

"Really! Do you think that too??" Xu Zi's heart suddenly swelled up inexplicably.

"How should I put it..." Zhou Mo frowned, "It's not my style anyway—but it seems that many girls in our school like him, he looks really good, and he has always been the top three in the grade. He is a top student and has a good personality."

"He's still a top student..." Xu Zixin remembered the way the other party looked down at his phone seriously, "What did the school say, you are not allowed to bring your phone to school—I think he is playing very hard."

"You just met him?"

"Well, when I went to the infirmary." Xu Zixin wrinkled his nose guiltily.

Zhou Mo noticed his small movements, "You have time to care about whether people bring their mobile phones to school - even if he brings them, he can still be in the top three of the grade, even if you are obedient and don't bring them, you are still near the bottom three Self-pull. Let's have a snack, huh?" After finishing speaking, he turned back to his desk and continued to write the few physics problems in front of him.

Xu Zixin frowned, and took out a pack of tissue paper from his pocket—it was Yu Ji who took it out of his bag to wipe his mouth when he saw his lips bleeding before he left.

 …and have napkins with them--girly. — sissy.
