"Great talent Xu, don't keep silent..."

The noodle shop is located in the basement, and the sound of thunder and lightning is blurred in the distance when you are in it. If you don't listen carefully, you will think that the weather is still sunny outside.

So when Yu You saw Xu Xie walking in from the door of the noodle shop, dripping wet, he was really startled.

"What's the matter? Is it raining outside?" Yu You walked forward, welcomed Xu Xie who was hanging his head silently, pulled him to sit on a chair, and turned his head to look at his face, "Why don't you An umbrella?"

Xu Xie shook his head and didn't speak, and Yu You didn't know what to say.The two sat in silence for a while, and for a while, the only sound in the silent noodle restaurant was the slight ticking sound of the raindrops on Xu Xie's body falling to the ground.

It's past meal time, and there are no customers in the noodle restaurant.After tidying up the kitchen, Boss Wang came out of the kitchen wiping his hands. Seeing this scene, he was not as careless as usual. He quietly waved for Yu You to come over, and asked softly, "What's wrong with him?"

"I don't know either." Yu You scratched the back of his neck, "I haven't spoken since I came here...By the way, Lao Wang, do you have a towel? If he doesn't wipe like that, he'll catch a cold."

"Yes, I'll find it for you." Boss Wang pushed Yu You towards Xu Xie, "Teach him well, kids with good grades like them have a lot of stress on their minds, maybe their hearts are depressed. What's the matter?"

Yu Youxin said, Lao Wang, you still don't understand Xu Dacai enough. Anyone may have study pressure, but he can't.

But this time Yu You was really wrong.

Xu Xie really started to feel the pressure of studying, but it was not the normal positive kind of how to improve his grades, but the reverse kind.

He thought about half an hour ago at the station, Fang Zhi vented to him the emotions and pressure he had endured for many days with a crying voice.

"What's the future between us? Is it University Z? You are the first in your grade, and your grades are so stable. As long as you think about it, you can pass the line steadily even if you don't participate in the competition. But what about me? My grades are fluctuating, good luck Even if I participate in the rematch, I can't guarantee that I can win the prize, and I can't guarantee that I can get the discount for reducing points." Fang Zhi said a lot in confusion, and finally deduced the worst As a result, "I probably won't be admitted to Z University."

"Even if you take a step back," Xu Xie was about to speak, but was interrupted hastily by Fang Zhi.He seemed to have suppressed it for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it any longer, and he wanted to confide everything: "I don't go to Z University, I will go to another school in the same city as you, spend four or five years together, graduate from university, And then? Xu Xie, have you thought about that?"

... Then, it should be work and love.

"What should I say then? How should I tell my uncle?" Fang Zhi endured his eyes flushing, and finally said what he was most afraid of in his heart, "Tell me that I have a boyfriend, and then get a sentence from him 'Unacceptable'?"

When the words came to this point, Xu Xie finally realized that he might have missed something, or that Fang Zhi was hiding something from him. He was full of fear, but pretended to hold Fang Zhi's shoulder calmly, looking into his eyes: "Fang Zhi Brother, Brother Fang, is it... Did uncle tell you something?"

Fang Zhi didn't answer his question.He chewed the candy in his mouth and swallowed it hard.

He doesn't like this kind of sugar, and there will always be a sticky layer left in the end, sticking to his mouth and throat, and it won't melt away no matter what.Fang Zhi brushed away the increasingly forceful hand on his shoulder, turned his head away from Xu Xie's eyes, and said, "Actually, you know very well that this has nothing to do with what my uncle said... I'm sorry, I'm in a mess right now. , let's separate for a while and calm down...don't follow me."

...Of course he knew it, but he kept ignoring it deliberately, as if he could pretend that they never existed.

He repeatedly emphasized the future, which was actually hypnotizing him and Fang Zhi, because he knew that their future was not as firm and accident-free as he said.

Just the factor of Xie Wen is enough to completely ruin the relationship between the two of them.So he never dared to mention anything about Fang Zhi in front of Xie Wen, pushing the already precarious relationship between the two to the edge of a cliff, and once they retreated, it would be an abyss.

Xu Xie mechanically took the towel handed over by Yu You, and wiped her hair that was still dripping with water, feeling bored and aching, thinking of the tears in Fang Zhi's eyes for a while, and thinking of Xie Wen's gentleness The appearance of smiling, chaotic and densely stacked together, in the end I can't think clearly or understand anything.

Yu You sat on the side and looked at him, held back for a long time, finally couldn't hold back, and asked, "Did you quarrel with...Fang Zhi?"

The cautiousness in this question was obviously abnormal, and the thoughts in Xu Xie's mind stopped beating for a while.He raised his eyes, looked at Yu You's guilty expression and said, "Have you discovered our relationship?"

"Ah...well." Yu You was overwhelmed by him, looked at the sky and the ground, and finally set his eyes on his feet, "It wasn't me, why did you tell me. He said you two... ...the aura is not quite right. Just...haha, the same kind of people, the same kind of people."

Probably seeing that Xu Xie kept silent for a long time, afraid that he would get angry, after a while, Yu You added: "Don't worry, we didn't tell others... I didn't want to say anything at first, so why did you say you didn't tell me?" He just doesn't want others to know, but, that is, you now...what's the matter?"

Xu Xie remained silent, pursed his lips a few times, but he didn't say anything.

Yu You scratched the back of his neck, thinking that if Xu Xie didn't tell him about it, he probably wouldn't be able to tell others, so he was troubled for a while, and said slowly: "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it... But I think so, let's It is definitely not easy for two people of this type to be together, and if there is something to bear and face together, it will be more painful to resolve it slowly than a breakup or something, but it is worthy of the difficulty of being together."

Xu Xie was a little dumbfounded by what he said: "It's not to the point of breaking up...just, a little confused."

Seeing that he was willing to speak, Yu You quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued his efforts: "What are you confused about?"

Xu Xie asked something else: "What are you doing with me? Do you have any plans for the future? For example, tell your family or something in the future."

"Yes." Yu You said, "I have made an agreement with He Jie. If our two families disagree in the future, we will go on a hunger strike and kneel until they agree...Although, this is a bit of persecution, and it is not It must be successful, but the days are so long, who can say for sure."

He paused, and then said a little angry: "Anyway, who let them have a son like me, I just want to stick them to death with He Mo."

Xu Xie smiled, but knew that Yu You's method did not have much reference value for him.

His parents dote on their children, and He Jiao's parents are relatively open-minded. Maybe when the time comes, they can really get support by kneeling on a hunger strike.

But Xie Wen neither spoils him nor is he enlightened at all.If she knew that what was tightly held in her hands was divided by another person, she would probably only have infinite hatred.

And Fang Zhi...

Xu Xie felt another dull pain in his heart when he thought of that "unacceptable".

His teenager suffered that kind of sadness at a certain time that he didn't know. It's ridiculous that he didn't realize it at all, and he was still wallowing in the firm future lie that he built for himself.

Fang Zhi was much more sober than him.

The basement suddenly became a little brighter. Yu You got up and went out to have a look. The golden light pierced through the dark clouds, and the sun hung high in the sky again.He hurried back to the basement and said to Xu Xie, "It's sunny, are you going back to school?"

After a long period of silence, Xu Xie raised his eyes and said suddenly, "Yu You, if I don't take the Z University exam, do you think Lao Zhou and the others will be disappointed?"

The venue for the rematch of the mathematics competition was set at No. [-] Middle School, and No. [-] Middle School had chartered a bus for this purpose, to pick up and drop off the precious contestants who could not tolerate any mistakes at this juncture.

"Master, turn up the temperature of the air conditioner a little bit... good good... do you have motion sickness? Do you know if you feel uncomfortable? Li Xiao! Don't read in such a short time! Close your eyes and rest for a while! Okay, okay, Let's go, thank you master."

When students rush to the examination room, the teacher is always the one who worries most.From the moment Lao Han got on the bus, his throat never stopped, his eyes wandered among the candidates, telling this one to close his eyes, and telling the other to eat less.

After finally arranging everyone, Lao Han sat in the front seat of the bus, looking back worriedly from time to time.

Xu Xie was sitting in the middle of the bus on the side of the aisle, next to him was He Jing who was sitting by the window, and on the other side was across the aisle and an empty seat with a schoolbag, sitting with his head against the window, clutching his stomach and feeling dizzy Fang Zhi who was sleeping.

The young boy said to separate and calm down, and it took more than half a month to calm down. During this period, whenever he saw Xu Xie, he hid, and if he couldn't hide, he deliberately put on a cold face. After the cold face was useless, he began to swear. Xu Xie approached.

However, this closeness is only limited to the occasional discussion of the topic. Once the topic goes deep into other places, or perhaps the big boss moves restlessly, the other party will immediately shake his face, and then start to hide again.

Repeated the cycle several times until before getting into the car, because Xu Xie couldn't hold back and pulled Fang Zhi's hand in front of the public, the young boy immediately turned black, left Xu Xie and got into the car by himself, and occupied the seat with his schoolbag. This childish behavior silently extinguished Xu Xie's desire to sit together.

He Jiu had enjoyed watching the play for more than ten days, and now he followed Xu Xie's eyes to look at Fang Zhi, and said teasingly: "You are really angry, it's been half a month, and you still haven't calmed down. "

Xu Xie pushed his elbow, and after hearing He Jiu's breathing sound as he wished, he said, "He's not angry, but uneasy."

The closer the day of the rematch, the more Xu Xie could feel Fang Zhi's uneasiness.He sleeps well, and usually doesn't wake up easily when he falls asleep, but in the past two days, he is often awakened by the sound of turning over from the lower bunk that can ring for half the night.

On the day when the results of the weekly exam came out, Xu Xie asked Jiang An to ask about Fang Zhi's results, but the other party finally came out with a sad face.

"I didn't ask." Jiang An felt aggrieved, "He tore the report card into pieces and threw it into the trash can as soon as it came out...or I'll go and look it up for you?"

"..."

Xu Xie didn't let him go, but afterwards she sneaked into the fourth shift to look through the trash can.

Fortunately, the students on duty in Class [-] were very competent, and the trash can was also very clean. Xu Xie saw the grade slips that had been torn into several pieces at a glance.

He picked up the piece with the total score - 654 points, five points short of Z University's lowest admission score last year.

That night, the rustling sound of the lower bunk lasted the whole night because of turning over.

The next day, Fang Zhiren was crippled.The stomach disease came back and came fiercely. On the way to breakfast, he was so painful that he squatted on the side of the road and couldn't stand up.

And that whole day, he didn't refuse Xu Xie's approach again.

There was a slight bump in the road, Xu Xie leaned his head on the back cushion, turned his head sideways to see Fang Zhi suddenly pursed his mouth, clutching his stomach and curling up into a ball as if in pain.

He remembered that day after Fang Zhi was sent to the infirmary, the pale young boy was lying on the bed, curled up in such a small ball, the pain was so painful that even the drooping eyelashes trembled.

Xu Xie was anxious and distressed, holding a cup of hot water to comfort him in a low voice, while the other hand wanted to pass through his arm and put it on his stomach, so as to relieve even a little bit of pain.

He stretched his hand halfway, but was tightly held by the young boy, covering his heart.

The chapped and pale lips opened and closed silently a few times, and the corners of the mouth drooped because of exhaustion, making him look even more aggrieved and pitiful.

It was only then that Xu Xie realized that the boy he liked had lost a lot of weight.

Fang Zhi half-opened his eyes, his black pupils soaked by the water light weakly shone a little, reflecting Xu Xie.

Looking at the person he likes, he hesitated for a long time, then suddenly choked up, his voice was hoarse, and he said vaguely: "Xu Xie, I... I seem to be unable to catch up with you."

Xu Xie raised his hands and rubbed his heart. After he relieved a little bit of depression, distress, anxiety and fear, he took his schoolbag and walked towards Fang Zhi, picked up the schoolbag that occupied his seat, put it on his lap, and sat down by himself. .

Before he could sit still, the people around him said coldly: "Go back."

"No." Xu Xie moved his buttocks, and after sitting down, he took out a thermos from his schoolbag and handed it to him, "Drink some hot water."

Fang Zhi pursed his lips, and looked at Xu Xie for a long time, and finally snatched the water glass fiercely, and turned his head to avoid his sight to look at the scenery outside the window.

Xu Xie saw that he was obediently unscrewing the water glass and drinking a little bit of water, feeling soft and astringent in his heart. After a while, seeing that he was almost drunk, he said, "Brother Fang, I don't need you to chase me."

Fang Zhi paused when he drank the water, but he soon returned to normal.

Xu Xie couldn't see his expression hidden behind the mist that filled the cup, but he knew that the other party must be listening.

"I don't need you to chase me." He repeated again, "It doesn't matter if you are the biggest or the biggest, as long as it is with you, it doesn't matter which university you go to."

"So—" Xu Xie hurriedly continued before Fang Zhi turned his head and was about to speak, "Brother Fang, don't be so uneasy, what school do you want to take, I will control the score and go with you.

"And the problems you mentioned, we can work together to find a solution and solve them little by little. If you don't want to face it, just push me out, and I will solve it."

Taking advantage of Fang Zhi's inattention, Xu Xie stretched out his hand to take his hand, and pressed it against his heart. At the end of the speech, there was a hint of pleading in his tone.

"So Brother Fang," he trembled, looked at Fang Zhi, his eyes full of longing, "don't give up on me, okay?"
