[Ruijin] liar

Gray sat in the last row of the classroom, silently looking at the desks and chairs beside him.A few books were scattered on the table at the same table. The Chinese books were spread out askew in the center, and there were distorted notes attached to the densely packed black characters. A line of indeterminate meaning is accompanied by an equally indeterminate black dot.

The boy in the front row yawned and finally woke up from his sleep. He turned his head and asked his deskmate who was buried in the sea of ​​questions: "What homework did the teacher leave?" His deskmate didn't even look up: "Look at the blackboard yourself." Boy Accustomed to his indifference, he looked down at his watch and muttered, "What, it's time for class again."

The noise in the classroom is like a tide, one ebbs and the other ebbs and flows, constantly churning.However, the last row of the classroom is like an isolated island in the sea, a taboo area that cannot be submerged by the tide.

It is clearly early summer, but there is a trace of air-conditioning like a creeping snake spewing out a letter, climbing up to the fingertips, wrapping around the legs and feet, slowly wriggling against the skin, hissing into the warm blood vessels, and marching towards the beating heart .Gray is not a person who likes to be sad, but after his life was almost torn to pieces, he returned to the familiar campus and sat in a strange classroom. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little bit at a loss.

Why is he here?

The class bell screamed sharply in the ear, covering the rush of footsteps.A figure ran towards this side at high speed, only a sharp sound of chair rubbing against the ground was heard, the man was already sitting on the chair, lying on the table, panting heavily.

Jin hurriedly stepped into the classroom, almost sprinting for hundreds of meters. At this moment, he just closed his eyes to calm the noise in his head, and it took him a while to feel why there is no ventilation by the window today.He opened half of his eyes in a daze. In his hazy vision, he couldn't see the face of a familiar figure against the light, but the faint smile at the corner of his mouth was clearly distinct.

As if being slapped on the back of the head, Jin's eyes widened in an instant, and he sat up straight with a bang, his chest heaved violently, and two small red clouds almost flew away from his cheeks due to the violent exercise.

"Gerry?" He called softly, as if whispering an elusive dream, with doubts and excitement shining in his eyes.

The outstretched index finger is like a curious and timid newborn, trembling, hesitating, and cautiously moving forward slowly.

Gray was also surprised.At the beginning of the second year of high school, he had been re-segregated into classes. The subjects in this class were not what Jin was good at. When he returned to this school after a year, he thought that he would not be able to be in the same class as before.

It's just... like an incredible dream.And Jin, as if he heard his inner calling and arrived.

The same suspicious index finger approached quietly and touched in mid-air.

Warm.real.

Jin's expression changed instantly. "Gerry!" He was smiling, and was about to pounce with his arms wide open. Unexpectedly, the teacher with a gloomy face stepped to the edge of the podium almost at the same time and smashed a loud "boom" on the podium with the textbook, which made Jin tremble. , and his arms were like frost-beaten leaves, drooping down.He took a quick glance, took out the math book from the scattered books on the table, spread it out and covered it directly on the Chinese book, then tore off a sticky note, grabbed a pen and wrote a few strokes in a hurry, and handed it to Gray's desk.

"Gerry, are you here?" Gray silently read the contents of the note in his heart, glanced to the side, but saw that although Jin was facing the book, those blue eyes were staring at it all the time, he couldn't help but Secretly laugh.

"I have transferred back from another school." In Jin's hands, these few words became a bible with proverbs hidden in them. He tried his best to read and comprehend, as if he wanted to see the paper. "I'm very happy." He wrote hesitantly, and then added as if explaining, "After all, we haven't seen each other for a year." Biting his lower lip, he continued to write: "I'm very..." Embarrassed The chair twisted a bit, and he blacked out those words again, and added other sentences guiltily, and then threw the post-it note on the next table like a dumpling bag, with a look of determination that a brave man would die.

"I'll cover Gray at school, my popularity is very good."

At the end of the sentence is a painted ugly smiling face.

Gray gently rubbed the smiling face on the paper with his fingertips, turned his head slightly to look at Jin who stared at the textbook with straight eyes, feeling that the vacant part of his heart was gradually filled with softness.No matter how many fools Jin plays, Gray can always see through the flustered heart under his skin at a glance.He also understood how overwhelmed Jin was when they suddenly met after a year when the problems between the two intimate people had not been resolved.Why is he not like this.

He sighed inaudibly: "Jin, we are still friends."

Jin's body froze for a moment, and then quickly collapsed like a stone statue crumbling into pieces.He lay on the table, lowered his eyes and pretended to be drowsy to the teacher's lecture, trying not to let Gray see his wet eyes.

"Well, we've always been best friends."

Although the get out of class is over, the students are still sitting in their seats, because the math class representative is handing out last week's test papers on the podium.In the past, after class, Jin would be like a monkey untied from the rope, and he would come alive all of a sudden, but today he sat very restrained in his seat, his eyes flicked to Gray from time to time, but finally dimmed secretly.

It's not like Jin at all... Gray stared at an old scratch on the table, and a bitter taste slowly filled his mouth.When did they get along like this?

The names that popped out of the teacher's mouth interrupted Jin's fidgeting, he glanced at Gray embarrassedly, scratched his cheek with his fingers, and stammered: "Wait a minute, don't laugh at me. "

"I didn't expect to see your brain fully developed in a year." Gray glanced at the other party's golden head pointingly.As soon as he uttered the usual style of complaints, Gray himself was stunned for a moment.It felt as if there had never been a year apart between them.

Jin blushed all of a sudden: "Ugh-Gerry!" he exclaimed in embarrassment, snarling his neck and putting on a fierce face, searching for something harsh to say back, and then glared at him. He said viciously: "I, I will forgive you today! Next time—there will be no next time—don't bully me! Hmph!"

Grey hummed twice casually, seeing that Jin was about to turn into a puffer fish because of his perfunctory attitude, he opened his mouth: "I didn't bully you." Jin immediately puffed up his cheeks, but didn't yell any more.

The natural verbal dispute was like a springboard. The two tacitly did not mention the incident a year ago, and quickly recovered the previous state of getting along.

The sleeping god in the front row looked back, frowned, and turned back again.

During the conversation, the class representative had already stepped off the podium and returned to his seat.At this time, there are only one or two minutes left before class, and most of the people in the classroom immediately left to go to the toilet or pour water.Gray asked, "Why didn't I read your name?" The golden statue, still puffing out its cheeks, choked for a moment. He looked away and said uncertainly, "Maybe it was left in the office." The boy wearing glasses is the representative of the mathematics class. He knocked on the man's chair and called out the man's name: "Well, I didn't get the test paper."

The man helped his slipped glasses, and was so absorbed in sorting out the class scores of last week's quiz that he ignored him.It was a grade record sheet, the first row was time, and the first column was name. Gray sharply saw that the row headed by Jin's name had terrible grades, and even a lot of squares were blank.

Jin withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and whispered to Gray: "I'll go to the office to look for it later."

Gray used to give Jin homework frequently before, and he knew how much he was worth, so he nodded without tearing off the fig leaf from his hair on the spot.

The afternoon passed in a blink of an eye, and some day students in the classroom began to pack their schoolbags under the bloody sunset.Kim just said "Let's go", and the two went home together naturally without any discussion.

"Where does Gray live now?" Jin asked suddenly when he was carrying his bulging schoolbag.

"Don't we live together?" Gray pressed his shoulders and straightened the shoulder straps of his schoolbag.

"Huh?" There was doubt in his eyes, then he shook his head and smiled, "That's right."

When walking on the street, Gray keenly felt Jin's body tense, and he asked, "Are you uncomfortable, Jin?"

Jin shook his head and smiled at him: "I'm fine." But even the setting sun couldn't hide the astonishing paleness on his face.

Gray glanced at him and moved closer quietly.

Along the way, Jin Du and Ge Rui chatted and laughed, holding the shoulder straps of the schoolbag tightly with both hands, and whenever a car passed by, the shoulder straps were almost torn off by him.At a certain intersection, it happened to be a green light, but there were very few pedestrians gathered at the intersection, and there were only Jin and Gray on this zebra crossing.Gray was about to take a step, but Jin grabbed him by the corner of his clothes.

"Gerry, wait, wait a minute, let's go this way and go around."

Jin raised his head, his barely curled lips were bloodless.The route he was referring to had quite a few people coming and going.

"You..." Gray's voice was hoarse, and an indescribable sourness slowly swelled in his heart, "Are you afraid of cars?"

Jin lowered his head and nodded twice very slowly.

Gray didn't expect the car accident to leave such a big psychological shadow on Jin, and he didn't know what to say for a while.The two kept a suffocating silence and walked to another zebra crossing where several people gathered.

5, 4, 3... Jin looked at the decreasing numbers on the opposite red light, and a sentence that was as light as an ephemeral word melted into the air along with the carbon dioxide.

"They took away something I valued..."

He shut his mouth abruptly, his surprised eyes fixed on the sudden warmth on his hands.

"Green light."

The cold voice brought Jin back to reality, he stumbled to keep up with Gray's pace, from this angle, only his tightly pursed lips could be seen.

The heart beat uncontrollably and accelerated, all sounds disappeared, only the pounding heartbeat shook the eardrum again and again.

"In this way, are you still afraid?"

Suddenly, they have crossed a zebra crossing.Jin's held fingers twitched, and the temperature spreading from the place where they held each other ignited the blood in his whole body.

It's just a favor between good friends.He warned his restless heart like this, but he couldn't bear to take half of his palm away.

"If there was Gray, I wouldn't be afraid anymore."

The familiar angelic smile made Gray's heart skip a beat, and he brushed the hair around his ears to cover his hot ear tips.In order to prevent Jin from bragging about himself, he quickly changed the subject: "Do you usually go out like this?"

"Well, what else can I do, I can only bear it. Waiting for more people to cross the road together, sometimes it just takes a little time. Anyway, I rarely go out at ordinary times."

Only half of the sun's bloody body was left, and the night wind had already begun to rage.The pedestrian in short sleeves sneezed suddenly, which startled Jin.He waved his hand shrunk in his oversized school uniform flauntingly: "As smart as I am wearing a long-sleeved jacket."

Some years ago, the voice-activated lights in the corridors of the community were broken, and no lights were turned on wherever Jin Xianxing took a step. He was so angry that he and Ge Rui climbed the stairs in the dim light while muttering.Looking at the burgundy handrails with peeling paint and the mottled and peeling white walls, a trace of nostalgia flashed in Gray's eyes.After finally reaching the destination floor, Jin Lei was out of breath, and complained for the thousandth time that there was no elevator.Looking at Gray in a blink of an eye, his breath was steady, not like he had climbed eight flights of stairs.

Jin couldn't help but screamed: "Grey is too much! I have never won the game of whoever gets home first!" Gray knocked on his forehead: "It's because someone loves potato chips and TV instead of exercise." .”

Jin stuck out his tongue, and his small nose wrinkled into a ball.

When you open the door, you will see the bright living room.

Qiu Weilan stared at them, slightly bent: "Welcome back."

Her cheeks are a healthy pink, and it can almost be said that her face is radiant, and that healthy breath is like sunlight, which can be irradiated even from a long distance.In his memory, Gray rarely saw Qiu in such a spirited state, it looked as if she had just been hit by a big pie.However, she sat quietly on the sofa, as if she had been waiting there for a long time, and she looked like a delicate doll,

"Sister!" Jin shot into Qiu's arms like a cannonball, and hugged her tightly.Qiu smiled and rubbed his little golden head.

Jin threw down his schoolbag in a hurry, and volunteered to let Ge Rui have a taste of Chef Jin's cooking skills, then rushed into the kitchen humming an out-of-key tune.

In the huge living room, only Qiu and Grey were left looking at each other.The two looked at each other, each speechless.

Qiu sighed, and was the first to break the deadlock: "You're back. I thought that uncle and aunt moved away, cut off all contact, and we would never see each other again."

"I didn't intend to leave back then." Gray replied after a moment of silence.

"I can understand. After all, it was my son who was in a car accident trying to save others. It is understandable for uncles and aunts to blame Jin. You were seriously injured at that time, and some things are not up to you. Since you can come back, presumably You must have put in a lot of hard work." Qiu pulled her sideburn hair behind her ears, "Well... let's get along well with Jin, this year, he..." Her eyes flickered, and she said softly in a joking tone: "This child can't live without you."

"I will." Gray listened to the gurgling sound of boiling water in the kitchen, and looked deeply into those blue eyes that were very similar to Jin: "Also, my parents, they... have passed away. "

He is now in this world and has no relatives.

"..."

"Gerry!" Jin poked his head out from the kitchen, "Chef Ben's delicious meal is ready!"

The hot air in the bowl rose slowly and diffused, gently hugging the withered flower branches on the dining table.The charred and withered corpse of the flower lazily leaned against the rim of the vase, and a shriveled petal swayed lazily in the white air.

Looking at the steaming instant noodles in front of him, Gray rubbed his temples feebly.But Jin was still sucking and eating happily, looking at him with bright eyes from time to time, begging for praise, but he didn't feel the few drops of soup splashed on his face.

Sure enough, I can't expect too much from Jin.

He took out a tissue and patted Jin's face, then walked into the kitchen with ease and opened the refrigerator door. Unsurprisingly, there was only a little bread and milk that were nearing the expiry date.He glanced at the trash can where the kitchen waste was stored. Apart from the instant noodle bucket, it was the plastic packaging of the instant noodle seasoning pack.

He just wanted to discuss Jin's food with Qiu, but when he turned his head, he found that Qiu had long since disappeared, and the surface of the sofa she had sat on was smooth without any trace.

Taking the disposable chopsticks handed over by Jin, Gray asked, "Where's your sister?"

With noodles in his mouth, Jin said vaguely: "Go back to the room. She had a serious illness before, and it was just fine, maybe not very comfortable."

The aroma of instant noodles scrambled towards his nose, Ge Rui picked up a piece of instant noodles and bit it into his mouth, the taste of the instant noodles itself was still rolling in his mouth.

No matter how the outside soup is concealed, it is still difficult to conceal its own taste.

Thinking resignedly, Gray took a sip of the rich soup.

After eating and drinking enough, Jin warmed up all over. He lazily didn't want to open his schoolbag, so he pulled two benches to the balcony, saying that he wanted to blow the night breeze to cool off.

The buildings in the old city are not tall, most of the residential areas are not equipped with elevators, and there are no lights in the city center like a city that never sleeps. You can see a few twinkling stars when you look up, like a lighthouse twinkling in a storm, illuminating the bright red lights on some walls. The word "demolition".

Jin chatted with Grey nonchalantly, rubbed his stomach occasionally "hahahaha" and almost choked himself to death.Gray patted him on the back to cheer him up. Suddenly, he jumped up excitedly, pointed at the night and shouted:

"Look, Gregory! It's a shooting star!"

Gray rubbed his red nose, and he reluctantly pulled him to the railing.Jin took his hand and got very close, giving Gray the illusion that he was half hugging him.Jin yelled and blushed, like a tempting apple, one couldn't help but take a bite.Gray suddenly lost control of his heartbeat, he lowered his head as if bewitched, and slowly approached Jin's face.

Unexpectedly, Jin suddenly turned his head at this time, and the distance between the two suddenly became ambiguously close, and each other's noses were lightly sprayed on each other's faces.

Gray realized something was wrong and wanted to distance himself awkwardly.But Jin didn't seem to feel anything. Two pairs of butterfly wing-like eyelashes fluttered up and down, and a pair of star-like eyes stared intently at Gerui.

Gray wondered if Jin was facing Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, or how could Jin's eyes be so bright.He was captured by the stars and lost control of his body.

"Yesterday, I also saw a shooting star."

Jin's voice was as ethereal as the faint noise in the community. It was because the hardworking demolition team hadn't left work yet.His soft words were like a feather, slowly rubbing against Gray's heart.

"At that time, I made a wish, hoping that Gray would appear by my side. I didn't expect it to come true."

"Why... do you want to see me?"

Jin pursed his lips, revealing two shallow dimples at the corners of his mouth.At that time, a smile that was different from usual, restrained the arrogant little canine teeth, and was a little more reserved.

"Because I miss you all the time."

The starry sky in his eyes turned into a deep ocean, in which the light of water floated slightly.

The dimples disappeared, and the muscles around the cheeks tensed up. Jin bit his lip vaguely, but his lips couldn't stop shaking.

His forbearance reminded Gray of the last time they met a year ago, Jin's forbearable ugly smile.

"I'm sorry, I was too abrupt... It doesn't matter if you don't want to answer, we are still friends... right..."

Those were the last words he heard before he lost consciousness.

"I can't live without Gray."

Jin murmured, leaning his face against Gray's neck, and hugged him gently.

"I like you."

It was the penultimate sentence he heard before losing consciousness.

Gray's hands paused for a second helplessly in the air, and finally placed them lightly on Jin's back.

The unreal feeling of being adrift and rootless was gone.

He stood back to the ground.
