After dressing as a villain, I'm with the paranoid male protagonist.

The distance between the two was suddenly shortened.

Even under the light, he could clearly see the shadow cast by Xiaolou's eyelashes on his eyelids.

Qiao Annian tilted her head back unconsciously, "Who, who cried?!"

He Nanlou didn't worry about whether Qiao Annian was crying or not. He asked a question that Qiao Annian couldn't avoid: "Why are you hugging me?"

Qiao Annian's face flushed instantly.

In fact, he himself couldn't tell why he hugged Xiaolou just now.

Perhaps, it was because he felt that it was too cold outside and wanted to hug Xiaolou who had just entered the house.Maybe it's because in this world, apart from Jiajia, Xiaolou is the only one who treats him best.

But Qiao Annian knew in his heart that neither of the above two reasons was valid.

The truth is, he didn't think that much just now.

Just at that moment, he wanted to hug someone, and he did just that.

How could there be so many whys!

"I am hungry."

Under He Nanlou's gaze, Qiao Annian said with a guilty conscience.

He didn't know why, but he just felt that as long as he said he was hungry, Xiaolou would stop asking.

"Be proud of being favored."

What, what?

Who, who is proud of being favored?

He Nanlou pushed the boxed lunch in front of him: "Eat first."

Qiao Annian broke away the disposable chopsticks, "Did you just say that I am proud of being favored?"

He Nanlou asked indifferently: "I asked why you hugged me, and you said you were hungry, didn't you think you were proud of being favored? Do you think I will not force you to answer questions when you are hungry?"

"I didn't!"

However, apart from being louder, Qiao Annian really didn't think of a strong rebuttal for a while, and instead turned completely red from his cheeks to the roots of his ears.

Well, he admits, he's a little bit...

Because Xiaolou was too kind to him.

Although there have been many people who have been kind to him since childhood, they have never been like his family like Xiaolou.

No, not right.His family has not been so kind to him.

In short, Xiaolou is beyond the existence of friends and family.

Being pampered and proud, Qiao Annian never thought that these four words could have anything to do with him.

Qiao Annian couldn't help but reflect on whether it was not good for him to be like this.

Qiao Annian's thoughts were written all over his face.

He Nanlou rubbed his head: "This is very good, there is no need to change it."

Joannian: "Why?"

People usually don't like people who are too willful, right?

At least, what he hears most from adults is to be "obedient" and to be "good". In his cognition, a child who is not good will have no way to be liked by adults.

But he is different.The other children behaved well in order to be liked by the adults, and he had no principles.

Only by not causing trouble and being sensible enough can he survive in the cracks.

Thinking about it now, he seems to have changed a lot in the past year or so.

They will all be proud of themselves.

The face was pinched, "What do children want to be so sensible?"

Qiao Annian patted He Nanlou's hand away: "Don't take advantage of me! You are just..."

In the middle of Qiao Annian's speech, he closed his mouth again when he remembered the follow-up development of kissing Xiaolou on the face and mouth after he said this the other day.

He Nanlou lowered his eyes: "That's what?"

Qiao Annian lowered his head, pretending to be deaf and dumb, but refused to continue.

He finally remembered the lunch box they had neglected, opened it, and touched it with his palm, it was still warm.

With such heavy rain and such low outdoor temperature, if you walk a little slower, the food may be cold when you come back.

Usually, even if you are late for class, you don't see people who walk fast...

Qiao Annian had a sore nose and a runny nose again.

His hand went to pull out a tissue, but before he could stretch out his hand, his hand was already stuffed with a tissue.

He must have slept, and the cold got worse again, not only the nose was sore, but the eyes too.

When the rain subsides, he should go to the infirmary and ask the school doctor to prescribe some medicine for him, so that the cold can heal faster.

It was still raining heavily outside the window, and the wind slammed on the glass with a bang, and the rain was blown obliquely by the wind.

Qiao Annian turned his head and glanced at the rain outside the window. He lowered his head and said, "I'm serious, if it rains so much in the future, I really don't want to go out. We can wait for the rain to calm down before we meet again." Go out to eat."

He Nanlou: "Yes."

From the corner of the eye, He Nanlou didn't sit down, but got up and walked out. Qiao Annian asked anxiously, "Are you going out again?"

He Nanlou: "Change your pants."

Only then did Qiao Annian notice that not only the coat was wet, Xiaolou's trousers were also a little wet, especially the trouser legs.

This person also talked with him for such a long time.

Moisture appeared in Qiao Annian's eyes. He sniffed, and his eyes became more sore.

...

Knowing that He Nanlou didn't like the smell in the dormitory, Qiao Annian opened the French windows of the dormitory a little.

Sneaking around, thinking you won't be discovered.

Before Qiao Annian could turn around, an arm stretched out from behind him, closing the only gap.

Knowing that He Nanlou was standing behind him, Qiao Annian stared out of the window and explained in a low voice: "If you don't open the window, the smell inside the house won't go away."

"We'll talk about it when you're asleep."

Lying in bed, the window will not be so cold.

Qiao Annian heard He Nanlou's implication, "I won't sleep in the afternoon. I didn't read in the morning. I'd better close the windows..."

He Nanlou directly pulled the man to his desk, put his hand on Qiao Annian's shoulder, and told him to sit on the chair, "Take the medicine first."

Qiao Annian sat down on the chair, looked at the cold medicine conjured up on the table, and raised his head in a daze: "Have you gone out to buy medicine yet?"

"On the way."

certainly not.

The canteen is on the east side of the dormitory, and the infirmary is in the northwest corner. You have to go through the dormitory area and walk to the north of the teaching building to find the infirmary.

What is the right way?

He Nanlou had already poured warm water and put it on the table. He took Qiao Annian's hand and poured the medicine into his own hand, "Swallow it."

"If you take this medicine, you won't feel sleepy, will you?"

"will not."

"Have you asked the school doctor?"

"did not ask."

"then you……"

"The medicine is more bitter."

The medicine was poured in the palm of his hand, but the medicine melted a little because of sweaty palms, and the pain of sticking to his throat when he took the medicine was something he experienced when he was a child, and he didn't want to experience it again.

Qiao Annian immediately stopped asking questions and poured the medicine into his mouth.

He Nanlou handed him the water.

All the medicines were swallowed smoothly, only a white pill got stuck in his throat, and Qiao Annian was so bitter that he almost cried.

He stuck out his tongue, and a tiny pink coral was placed on the tip of his tongue.

Qiao Annian subconsciously swallowed the grass coral, and the cool mint flavor overflowed in his mouth.

Qiao Annian crushed the coral lozenges, and the bitter taste in his mouth was diluted a lot, "Did this one also prescribed by the doctor?"

He Nanlou: "I asked the doctor to prescribe it. I'm afraid you will cry and refuse to take the medicine."

Qiao Annian closed his fingertips holding the cup, lowered his eyes, glanced at the swaying circle of water in the cup, and muttered softly: "I don't know, I'm not a child."

He repeated the fact that he was not a child.

He Nanlou: "Oh."

Qiao Annian looked at him alertly: "Oh, what do you mean?"

"I believe it."

Joannian: "..."

That's not what your tone says.

...

The cold is so bad.

Qiao Annian was answering the listening test. Before she finished writing a word, her nose dripped on the paper.

He blocked his nose with a tissue in one hand, and sucked the snot from the test paper with the other hand, and peeked at He Nanlou who was sitting next to him.

That's great, Xiaolou was concentrating on playing with his mobile phone and didn't notice his side.

He Nanlou was looking at the weather forecast.

In the next seven days, it will basically be a rainy pattern, only next Saturday will be cloudy and sunny.

Qiao Annian's shoes were already too small. He proposed to take Qiao Annian to buy shoes, but he refused.

If it still rains in the next few days, Qiao Annian's two old pairs of shoes should not last long after being soaked in water.

It's just right to go shopping for shoes next Saturday.

He Nanlou didn't think it would take much energy to watch the weather forecast, He Nanlou knew exactly what the people around him were doing.

"Go to sleep if you can't hold on. Doing questions inefficiently has no effect other than self-comfort and wasting time."

Joannian: "..."

He knew that Xiaolou had seen it just now.

shameful...

Qiao Annian: "Let me finish this listening comprehension first."

The effect of the cold medicine was really too strong. After taking the cold medicine, his eyelids became heavy and sticky.

When listening to the conversation, I always get distracted, and I didn’t hear several key words. After I finished the answer, I turned to the answer at the back, and there must be a red surprise.

Qiao Annian wiped his nose, he asked concerned: "Are you cold?"

His position is by the window, and the balcony is outside. If the wind is strong, the wind will seep in from the outside, so Xiaolou changed positions with him.

He Nanlou was playing with his mobile phone: "No."

Qiao Annian went to touch He Nanlou's hand, it was really warmer than his.

After finally finishing this set of listening comprehension, Qiao Annian gave a pair of answers, which were very good, and the accuracy rate was impressive.

Learning takes time, and efficiency is just as important.

If he continues to do the questions in the current state, it will only be the same as what Xiaolou said, and there will be no other effect except self-consolation and wasting time.

Qiao Annian climbed onto the upper bunk.

The rain was a little lighter than it was at noon, and it no longer hit the floor-to-ceiling windows with a bang, but the wind was still strong.

Lying on the bed, Qiao Annian couldn't help thinking, what would happen if he went to high school alone?

In order to have more study time and save travel expenses, he may not go back at all except when the season changes.

Maybe he still missed his younger brother or younger sister in the past, after all, they lived together for so many years, not to mention the two children he brought up together since childhood.

Ever since the two of them told his stepmother where he hid the money, he was disheartened.

The younger siblings may be young and don't know the loss and harm this incident has brought to him, but it reminds him that no matter how much he treats the younger siblings with all his heart, it's useless, the closest person to them is the stepmother.

If the stepmother asked the two of them to stay in his room and hide his admission ticket, would the younger siblings do it?

He believed it would.

No matter how he educated his younger siblings, half of his younger siblings still followed his stepmother's temperament, and the rest of the cuteness in the children's nature was also taught by his stepmother to decrease year by year in recent years.

Apart from Jiajia, he probably has nothing to think about.

On weekends, he should be studying alone in the dormitory like now.

If you accidentally catch a cold, you can only go to the infirmary to get medicine and go to the cafeteria to get a meal.

And the reason why he can lie comfortably on the bed without even getting wet is because of Xiaolou.

Even when he was admitted to Jianan, he was greatly influenced by Xiaolou.

"咚咚-"

"咚咚-"

The heartbeat is a bit noisy.

...

"Small building."

"Ah."

"Small building."

He Nanlou put down his mobile phone, he looked up with his head half up, and his eyes met Qiao Annian who poked out half of his head from the upper bunk.

Qiao Annian didn't expect this man to raise his head suddenly, his ears felt hot for no reason, "I want to ask you, why don't you go home on weekends?"

Xiaolou is different from him, Xiaolou's parents are both in Jiangcheng.

Sometimes, on Thursday or Friday, he would hear Xiaolou talking to his parents on the phone.

There are six people in their dormitory, and the other four students also have mobile phones.If other students talk to their parents on the phone, it takes a long time to talk, only Xiaolou ends the call every time without saying a few words.

Sometimes on Fridays, Xiaolou's parents would come to pick him up from school, but Xiaolou never went back with his parents once.

He knew that Xiaolou's parents were divorced, and both of them seemed to be very busy at work, other than that, he didn't know much about other things.

He Nanlou: "It doesn't mean having a father and a mother equals having a family."

Joannian: "..."

It is true.

Qiao Annian rested her chin on her folded hands and asked softly, "Then...do you miss your parents?"

He Nanlou: "I don't want to, you are enough for me."

Qiao Annian sniffed heavily, these words carried too much weight.

"What, what. Friends are different from family members."

Xiaolou is different from him, even his parents don't want him, and Xiaolou's parents are all vying for his custody.

He Nanlou: "You are far better than your family."

"Me too!"

He Nanlou is tall and has long legs. As soon as he stood up, his eyes met Qiao Annian's: "What is it?"

Qiao Annian clutched the quilt on the bed, his face flushed red.

Obviously, what he could say easily just now, but for some reason, he couldn't say it to Shang Xiaolou's eyes.

He Nanlou stretched out his hand and poked his flushed cheek with his fingertips. The corners of his lips curled up, and he chuckled, "My little Annian, why are you so shy?"

The small area where the fingertips were touched burned up, Qiao Annian's already flushed face was now even more apple-red, and it was red from the neck to the back of the ears.

Who, who is shy!

...

The rain in Jiangcheng has been falling continuously for more than a week

Qiao Annian's cold was procrastinating, and it never got better.

To make matters worse, his shoes completely stopped working after being soaked in water for a few days.

The other pair of shoes was not spared either. One pair was degummed and had an opening, making it impossible to wear it.There is also a pair that leaks whenever it rains, but on the way back from the classroom to the dormitory, his socks will be completely soaked, and there is no way to wear them out on rainy days.

It's okay if you go back to the dormitory. After entering the dormitory, you can change into slippers and soak your feet in hot water to warm up your body.

The most uncomfortable thing is on the way to class. If there is heavy rain, it is difficult not to be affected in the morning or afternoon.

Qiao Annian plans to buy two new pairs of shoes.

Except for going to the clothes shopping mall with He Nanlou last year, Qiao Annian had never visited Jiangcheng.He was not familiar with Jiangcheng, so when he went to buy shoes, he called He Nanlou to accompany him.

Qiao Annian knew that he couldn't afford the expensive ones, so before he set off, he asked his classmates where to buy cheap shoes.

The car was under the bus stop sign, and the two crossed the zebra crossing.

"Isn't it the Lianmao Building?"

Qiao Annian pointed to the building in front of the two of them. He heard from his classmates that the clothes and shoes in this building were at wholesale prices, and the prices would be much lower.

"You remembered wrong."

Qiao Annian just heard from his classmates that the buildings across from the bus stop were wholesale clothing, shoes and hats, but he really didn't know which one it was.

"Oh."

He Nanlou continued to walk forward, and Qiao Annian followed him without doubting that he was there.

The two entered a shopping mall.

As soon as Qiao Annian entered, he saw the magnificent lobby of the shopping center and the bright lights, including the high-end clothes on the shelves. He knew that the things here were not something he could afford.

Qiao Annian held He Nanlou's hand and was about to walk back, he lowered his voice: "You lied to me, I don't want to go in."

After finally coaxing people to come, He Nanlou will not let them go so easily, "I want to buy shoes too."

Hey?

Taking advantage of Qiao Annian's stunned time, He Nanlou put his hands on his shoulders and led him up to the third floor where men's clothes, shoes and hats were located, and entered a sports brand shoe store.

When Qiao Annian saw that there were basically three-figure shoes on the shelves, and several pairs even approaching four-figure or more than four-figure shoes, he gasped hard.

This is too expensive!

In view of the fact that he was only helping to choose clothes last time, and ended up wearing a lot of clothes on him, this time, Qiao Annian didn't say anything and didn't give any advice.

He Nanlou tried on two pairs. When he wanted to check out, he was informed by the clerk that there was an event today, buy one get one free, and asked him if he wanted to choose another pair.

He Nanlou ordered two pairs that were exactly the same, but they were talking about Qiao Annian's size.

Qiao Annian didn't plan to buy it at all, so he sat obediently on the soft waiting chair, waiting for He Nanlou to finish trying on the shoes.

He is wearing shoes that have not been glued today, but are prone to leaking in rainy days. I don’t know if they are sun-drenched, and his feet are always a little wet after wearing them.

Even though it was uncomfortable to wear damp shoes, Qiao Annian never urged her.

His ankle was held, and before Qiao Annian could react, his shoes were already taken off.

Xiaolou squatted down and put his feet on his calves.

White socks, a little wet on the soles of the feet.

Qiao Annian retracted her feet in embarrassment.

He Nanlou acted as if he hadn't seen anything. He held his ankle with his wrist, took off his socks, asked the waiter for a new pair, and asked the waiter to bring a tissue to wipe Qiao Annian's feet. Once again, put the socks on for him with both hands.

"Xiaolou, what are you doing? First, let me go first."

Another customer just came in in the store, and the waiter went to serve the customer who just came in.

Qiao Annian was afraid of attracting other people's attention, so he lowered his voice so low that he could barely speak in a breathy voice.

He Nanlou took the same style as the pair he was wearing from the shoe box, and put them on for Qiao Annian.Knuckle-boned hands expertly tied the laces of both shoes with two bows.

He Nanlou let go, and he stood up: "Let's go and see."

Where Qiao Annian dared to step on it, he was afraid that if he did, the small building would really be bought.He took a deep breath: "Xiaolou, it's really too expensive, these shoes..."

"Buy one, get one free. I buy two pairs, and you get two pairs for free."

Qiao Annian is not so easy to fool: "Then why don't you choose other styles?" If you buy one get one free, you should be able to choose other styles, right?

"Only these two models do activities. If you don't believe me, just ask the waiter."

Joannian: "..."

How could he ask the waiter?

If he asked, wouldn't it be confirmed that he didn't trust Xiaolou?

...

Qiao Annian had never worn such expensive shoes!

Walking out of the shoe store, Qiao Annian kept looking down at his shoes, almost having the illusion that he was going to fly away at any moment.

This cloud is still made by RMB.

There was a knock on the forehead, and Qiao Annian came back to his senses, only to realize that if Xiaolou hadn't held him back, he would have run into someone.

"Look at the road."

Joannian's cheeks became hot, "Oh."

"I'm going to throw away my old shoes."

He Nanlou held Qiao Annian's old pair of shoes in his hand.

Joannian: "I'll go."

"Ah."

He Nanlou handed over the bag containing the old shoes.

Qiao Annian searched around, and finally found a trash can at an elevator entrance.

He threw the old shoes into the trash can.

Suddenly want to go to the bathroom.

There is a sign for restrooms just ahead.

The toilet and the shopping mall are separated by the door of the emergency escape route.

Joannian pushed the door open.

In the corner, a couple is kissing.

It was a pair of boys, one of whom was still wearing their school trousers.

Joan was so old that he had never seen a couple kissing, let alone two boys.

It had a big impact on him.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, one of them pushed the other away and looked at him in a panic, while the other glared in his direction very unfriendly.

Qiao Annian recognized that one of the boys was the one who was helping to pick up books outside the library when it rained that day.

No wonder, no wonder wearing their school pants...

"Have you fucking seen enough?"

Qiao Annian was taken aback by the boy's yelling, "Sorry."

He didn't even realize that he was staring at someone else.

It was only because he was so shocked that he forgot to turn his head for a moment.

It's really not polite to stare straight at people, Qiao Annian apologized, turned around and pushed the door out——

Pull your legs and run.

He didn't know what he was running.

As if, as long as he ran fast enough, he could expel the images in his mind.

He Nanlou waited on the spot, and saw Qiao Annian who was sprinting towards him with all his strength, with a strange expression on his face.

He stepped forward and stopped him, "What happened?"

Panting for breath, Qiao Annian pointed to the direction of the emergency exit, "I just saw, saw..."

He Nanlou followed the direction Qiao Annian pointed and saw nothing.

Qiao Annian raised her face slightly, her eyes just fell on He Nanlou's lips.

The image of two boys kissing at the escape exit flashed through my mind, and I remembered that day in the dormitory, when he pressed Xiaolou's lips...

"Boom————" The heartbeat he heard was faster than ever.
