If fate could materialize and have a human form, Gray would probably stab it with a knife without hesitation—well, just stabbing it would be really cheap for him.

Without a trace of preparation, Gray was sent a small confession by the best friend.

The next confession was a car accident. He pushed Jin away and fell into a pool of blood.

After a long coma, he woke up in a strange city. His parents stood coldly between him and the past, becoming an insurmountable wall.

He hadn't had time to give his answer.He didn't know what his answer was.

He has no experience in love, and he doesn't know what it feels like to like someone.What's more...he and Jin are too familiar, this long-term companionship has blurred the boundaries of feelings.Gray would not give an affirmative answer without careful consideration. Although Jin would be sad, he did not want to deceive Jin's feelings.That's not fair to Kim.

The sudden death of his parents hit Gray very hard. For a long time, he was in a trance, and he had a lingering sense of illusion in everything he did.He has repeatedly warned himself not to be so depressed, maybe his behavior and things are still the same as usual, but the inner soul often falls into uncontrollable confusion.

Until he and Kim meet again.

Like a ray of light illuminating the fog, he suddenly woke up.If he goes down, who will protect Kim?

That little golden retriever is just a hot-blooded idiot who can't even take care of himself.

Breathing out a foul breath, Gray blinked his dry eyes and decided that it would be better to fall asleep.

The quilt next to him moved, Jin turned his head and looked at him with half-closed eyes.

"Gary, are you still awake?"

Perhaps it was because lying on the bed, his voice was not as energetic as it was during the day, but rather vague and soft, like a lazy little milk cat.

"You can't sleep?"

"Well, insomnia, it's an old problem. I always have a headache, I don't know why."

Gray's eyes flickered.He never knew that Jin had this problem before, and it probably developed during the year he was away.One year is neither long nor short, but it is enough to change many things.He wasn't sure... Jin's feelings remained unchanged from a year ago.

"Perhaps your brain is struggling to grow in a small head," he teased.

Jin Nunuo hummed twice to show his dissatisfaction, and didn't bother to hit him.Suddenly Gray sat up, raised one hand, supported by an elbow, and approached Jin.Jin was startled by the slightly cold temperature on his temples, and looked at Gray's drooping eyebrows in a daze.

"Isn't that comfortable?"

The fingers on the temples are turning with appropriate strength, like a mother gently pushing the baby's cradle, or like a butterfly kissing a flower stamen.

Jin dodged his serious gaze, and met Gray's serious eyes unexpectedly.The four eyes met, and there was a wonderful link formed between the two pairs of eyes.The two travel almost obsessively in the universe in each other's eyes, like kissing lovers constantly exchanging each other's saliva.

Suddenly Jin shrank back suddenly, escaped from under Gray's hands, grabbed the quilt and covered his head: "Thank you, Gray! Oh, it's a bit cold, I should sleep, Gray Good night!"

cold?

Gray stared blankly at his fingers that were still in mid-air, where they had inadvertently rubbed against Jin's ears just now—it was scalding hot.

High school life is like a line, going straight forward with occasional ups and downs.Gray lives peacefully, occasionally looking at Jin's smiling face, he has the illusion of living in a dream.He felt that his memory seemed to have declined, and he always felt that he had forgotten something, but he couldn't say it.He still didn't understand what he wanted, and he didn't give a reply for a long time.And Jin acted like his confession was hit by a car, and he still treated him like a good friend.

But one day the dream was broken.

That day Jin was called away by several seniors, led by a very gentle-looking boy wearing glasses.Gerui held him back, but Jin laughed and said that he also had many friends in the senior year, that is, the student union came to him for help.However, Jin left for a few classes, and when he returned to the classroom, there were a few more messy Band-Aids on his face.

Gray asked him what happened.Jin scratched his somewhat messy hair, and said casually: "The student union asked me to help manage the cats in the school. Hey, Gray, you said those cats are so cute, why are they so fierce? Look at me Got scratched." After that, he deliberately approached Gray, showed him the wound on his face, and blinked hard to make him look tearful. "Then when I was in the infirmary, I was accidentally caught by Daniel, so I was delayed."

It was a name that was unfamiliar to Gray.Gray pushed away the Band-Aid face that Jin leaned over: "Who is that?"

"Oh, he is the psychology teacher who came after you left. It's normal if you don't know him. Anyway, it's right to see him take a detour-don't look at him always with a pleasant face, he can read my head from head to head. Big! I don't know how my sister endured to be friends with him." Jin curled his lips.

The next day was Kim's turn to clean up the newly assigned cleaning area.It is an area near the sports equipment room, including a one-way alley behind the equipment room. It is said that some students like to throw strange garbage into that corner.

Today, Kim confirmed the rumor with his own eyes.

"No..." Jin tremblingly looked at the corpse on the ground, almost speechless.The bamboo broom handle collided with the concrete floor, making a pitiful sound.

It was a black cat with a thin body lying quietly on the ground, dead for a long time.The air is tearing at the rotting carcass, flesh and bones hug each other, maggots and flies dance together.

Gray saw the cat's signature docked tail at a glance.That's right, it's the wild cat that likes to hang out near the cafeteria. It doesn't like people, but it doesn't resist Jin's feeding.Jin once said with emotion that its eyes are very similar to Gray.

He hesitated and patted Jin on the shoulder: "Let's deal with it. I'll find some tools." Jin's face was as pale as a ghost, he nodded, and silently squatted down beside the black cat's body, slowly covered his face.

Gray thought he was crying, and approached worriedly, and just about to speak, he found Jin's expressionless face hidden under his palm.

He spoke, sweetly as if whispering to his lover, but there was only a numbness in his eyes:

"Why do you also..."

"Grey."

Gray stopped in his tracks.He glanced around suspiciously, but he didn't see a familiar figure.

But he was pretty sure it was Kim's voice.

"Grey."

The moment the voice sounded again, Gray's breathing was stagnant, and a gust of dizziness hit him. The scenery in his eyes was overlapping and shattering, and a slight explosion sounded in his ears.

He shook his head, stabilized his body, and ran back desperately—without any reason, without any thinking, he just knew that he was urgently needed at this moment.

Around the corner, from a distance, he saw Jin surrounded by several people by the wall.A man wearing glasses pressed Jin's shoulders hard and pushed him against the wall, and Jin's body shook violently.A bloody mass lay farther away, dragging a black trail on the ground.The broom and dustpan were lying on the concrete floor, looking like two losers who had been beaten black and blue.

The heart was beating wildly, pumping out blood and washing the blood vessels, but it was a cold feeling that flowed through the whole body.

Gray growled coldly: "Let him go!"

Jin looked at the passerby in surprise, a flash of bewilderment flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled: "Haha, Gray, don't be so nervous, we are just exchanging feelings..."

Several teenagers looked at him explaining in a hurry, as if they were looking at a clown or a monster, and regarded Gray on one side as air.

A young man raised his voice and said disdainfully: "I just said that this kid is crazy!"

Jin looked at Gray nervously: "Gerry, don't listen to their nonsense—uh puff!" The sudden heavy blow landed on the abdomen, and Jin curled up on the ground clutching the sore spot into a shrimp.

"Good fight! Eliminate harm for the people! Kill this lone star of the evil spirit!"

"It's a pity that Gray should be friends with such a person. It's unfortunate."

Several teenagers shouted loudly, clapping their hands and applauding.

"No, it's not like that..."

He's not, he's not...

Shut up! ! !

The hand covering his abdomen grabbed the clothes suddenly and embedded himself in the flesh.Jin raised his dark eyes, but found that his sight was occupied by an all-too-familiar hand.Before I knew it, Gray had already stood beside him.

Gray's expression was calm.

"Come together?"

"Hiss - it hurts, it hurts! Gray, be gentle!" Jin wailed with a mournful face.

Gray grabbed his face desperately trying to escape, and said helplessly, "Be patient for a while, okay?"

Jin pushed him with a face of resistance, avoiding his iodine-stained cotton swab again and again, just like a cat who resists taking a bath.Finally, after Jin's waving hand touched the cotton swab again, Gray's accumulated anger was ignited.He grabbed Jin's face and turned it towards himself, leaning forward suddenly, almost nose to nose.

"You try again."

Jin met his smoldering eyes, swallowed, shut his mouth instantly, and put his hands on his knees aggrievedly, looking like a good little white rabbit.

"I'll take it easy." Gray sighed secretly.He's never had anything to do with him.

"Why didn't you go to the infirmary when you were injured, and insisted that I help you treat the wound?" Gray asked while painting Jin into a painted face.

Jin snorted with his nose: "I don't want to go to that quack doctor. The hairline reaches the top of the head, and he secretly watches the live broadcast of beautiful women all day long. When the students come, they shrink the window. It's really blind. And go The infirmary is easy to be caught by Daniel... Ouch, take it easy!" He grinned in pain.

"Do you hate him that much?" Gray screwed on the lid of the iodine bottle, packed up a few things, and he had to go back to the infirmary later.Will Kim, who always wants to be friends with everyone, hate someone so much?

"Hate? No, no, that's not true. I just... just don't really want to talk to him. He always keeps saying that he wants to help me, but..." Jin swallowed the latter words, knowing that he was a little out of control, and turned And look at your own toes.He lowered his voice and muttered, "I'm fine, I don't need his help."

"Then what's the matter today?" Gray asked coldly.

"It was just an accident." Kim replied quickly, as if the answer was so correct and beyond doubt. "Okay, okay, don't talk about this, let's hurry up and work first." He rolled up his sleeves pretendingly, as if he was afraid of Gray's questioning, he hurried to the back of a bookcase.

Naturally, Gray did not forget Jin's punishment for fighting - tidying up the reading room and sorting out the brought books.It is not so much a book reading room as it is a garbage dump parking lot. Basically, there are old books that are not nutritious, and some time-sensitive newspapers and magazines are stored here.

There was a pile of books half a person's height stacked on the ground next to the table and chairs, exuding a musty smell of paper.Gray doesn't like the smell, it reminds him of death, he thinks it's the smell of being forgotten and buried by time.He glanced at it casually, and the top book had lost its cover, revealing the yellowed and brown water-stained inner pages.Stacked on the table are newspapers and magazines subscribed by each class, all of which were sent here because there was no room in the classroom.The newspapers delivered by one class were stacked very irregularly, as if they were grabbed at random, not only crooked, but also crooked.

Gray, who likes to be tidy, thought it was a bit eye-catching, so he picked up a stack of newspapers and tapped them on the table to try to align the edges. Unexpectedly, a newspaper slipped out and fell to the ground.It was a local newspaper from last year, and the headline was in black and bold fonts, which was a bit shocking at first glance. He only had time to see the "traffic accident" and "one death and one injury" before Jin picked up the newspaper.

"The newspapers in which class are all torn like this." Jin said disgustedly, folded the newspapers and threw them into the trash can, "Let me clean up the newspapers, can you put away the books first, to be honest, I can't understand that ghostly symbol-like label at all."

Gray was a little surprised at Jin's approach without a sound, feeling a little confused, silently clutching the old paper in his hand.

He saw the date in the newspaper.

—It was the day after his car accident.

After finally completing the punishment, an afternoon has passed.Jin stood in the corridor at the door of the reading room, stretching with his back to Gray.

Gray tugged at the hem of his shirt, trying to hide his exposed lower back.

"Today is not the first time, is it?"

Jin froze for a moment, then continued to move his sore body naturally: "Uh, my friends are not very tempered, and they will inevitably be impulsive. It's nothing, I'm used to it."

Although it was already time for school to end, the sun was still strong. Jin Zheng happened to be bathed in the sun, his blond hair reflected the faint light, and his blue eyes were as bright as glass beads.Gray took a deep breath. Normally, he would choose to respect Jin and not ask about the things he deliberately concealed, but this time it was different.

This is his treasure, and he will never allow others to defile it.

"Then how do you explain this?"

He grabbed his wrist, deliberately lightened his strength, and pulled it in front of him.

The arm that had been covered by the long sleeves was finally exposed to the eyes of others due to the carelessness of the owner. The fair skin was like a piece of rice paper that had been splashed with ink, with cyan and purple colors everywhere, and there were several old and new lines. The scars are engraved on it.

When his eyes touched the horrific skin, Jin broke away from Gray's grip like an electric shock, pulled off his sleeve with the other hand in a panic, and began to dodge his eyes.

"It's not what you think……"

fraud.

"So what?"

The sour coke bottle shook violently in my heart, and then exploded.An indescribable emotion blinded Gray's mind - he wanted to destroy something, but also wanted to own something.

Gray moved closer to him, a little hurried breath rushing through Jin's trembling eyelashes.

"This is myself..."

"fraud."

Jin's eyes widened in surprise.

"fraud……"

He hugged him violently.

Why lie.Obviously suffering from bullying, obviously suffering from misfortune, why do you still smile so happily.

Kim, you're a complete asshole and little liar.

"I'm sorry..." Gray bit his lower lip tightly, and there was a ball of wet cotton in his throat.

I'm sorry to just leave you alone.

Sorry for not being there when you needed me.

I am sorry.

The trembling that belonged to another person made Jin's heart thump, he was at a loss and carefully put his hand on Gray's back, and hugged him gently.

"What, I'm the one who should say I'm sorry. I'm the one who caused Gray to be hurt so badly, but I never apologized. Gray is so good, how could he be sorry for me?"

Grey's heart-warming behavior and words in the past came to mind one by one, and Jin evoked a small gentle smile.

"I won't leave you anymore."

Jin was shocked all over, and raised his head, as if some switch had been turned on, with a serious and serious expression as if a different person: "Really?"

"I swear." Gray looked into those eyes.

That wonderful connection was born again.A subtle but familiar sense of dizziness occupied Gray's mind, and he was panting heavily, like a fish out of water.Leaving the pair of blue eyes with a dreamy color, moving down, is the small and lovely bridge of the nose, and then down, is the pink lips that are slightly parted as if inviting something.

The two lips fluttered together, exhaling a tiny airflow: "Gerui..."

"What are you doing here?"

The sudden mature male voice woke Jin up like a basin of clear water. He pushed Ge Rui away in a panic, and his face quickly flushed red at a speed visible to the naked eye.After seeing clearly that it was Daniel, he rejoiced that the building was mostly a functional classroom and nothing happened without classes, but at the same time regretted that he forgot that downstairs was the school's psychological counseling room.He whispered guiltyly: "Nothing, Mr. Daniel."

Jin tugged at the corner of Gray's clothes and whispered, "Let's go."

Gray stood quietly aside with a somewhat unnatural expression.After all, he almost kissed his hair just now, but with his concentration, his face couldn't hold back, and the ear hidden behind the hair was completely red.

What happened to him just now?Gray stroked his chest, where the abnormal heartbeat hadn't calmed down yet.

Finally seeing the true face of the so-called psychological teacher, he took a few glances and said, "Let's leave now."

"Wait a minute." Daniel frowned, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

"who are you talking to?"
