Pretend to B

Two days before the countdown to the midterm exam, the atmosphere between Su Xing and He Chi became very awkward.

Even the nervous Li Lang noticed something was wrong, Xueba was always aloof, so it was fine if he didn't speak, why even He Chi started playing the trick of pretending to be deep?

Li Lang was so awkward, the low air pressure from behind almost suffocated him, he didn't dare to turn around and ask He Chi what happened, so he wrote a note and threw it behind him.

"Boss, did you quarrel with Xueba?"

He Chi ignored him, and threw the note into the trash can without changing hands.

"Xueba, did you quarrel with the boss?"

Li Lang, who was ruthlessly rejected by the boss, wrote another note and wanted to throw it to Su Xing.

The note was miserably intercepted by He Chi in mid-air, and ended up miserably in the trash can.

The next day, things got weirder.

Su Xing arrived at the classroom earlier than Hechi, and as soon as he entered, he handed Li Lang a plastic bag with two boiled eggs and a bottle of soy milk in it.

"For me?" Li Lang pointed to his nose and took it flattered.

Su Xing raised his chin and pointed to He Chi's position: "Leave it to him when he comes."

Li Lang: "...Why don't you give it to him yourself?"

Su Xing stuffed the schoolbag into the drawer, raised his eyelids and gave him a cold look: "Can you help me?"

Li Lang was shocked by the cold eyes, and nodded quickly: "Okay! Okay! Why not!"

After about twenty minutes, He was late. As soon as he came in through the front door, Su Xing got up and left the classroom through the back door.

He Chi took out a paper bag from his bag and threw it into Li Lang's arms.

Li Lang was overjoyed: "For me?"

He Chi said: "You are dreaming! When the number one scholar comes back, help me give it to him."

Li Lang:? ? ?

Before the day even started, he experienced two disappointments.

He Chi continued to warn: "Today, the custard buns are gone again. It's still bean paste. Tell him not to picky eaters. He ate all of the two barbecued pork buns. Eat better for breakfast."

Li Lang craned his neck to take a look. There were four steamed buns in the paper bag. They were soft and steaming, and his eyes glowed green with greed.

He blinked, and stared at He Chi pitifully: "Boss, I didn't even have breakfast!"

"Oh," He Chi sat down in his seat and said, "It's none of my business."

Li Lang was angry: "Brother is so worthless?!"

He Chi also brought a bag to school. He took out a hand warmer from the bag and handed it to Li Lang, muttering non-stop: "Give this to him later. I just charged it up this morning. The electricity can be heated all morning, and it can be charged in the classroom when you go to the cafeteria during lunch break, and you can use it when you come back from the meal.”

"Stop, stop!" Li Lang scratched his hair irritably, "You two are playing Infernal Affairs? You are sitting at the same table, and you have to ask me to give something to each other?! What crime did I do in my previous life!"

He Chi quickly grasped the point from this long series of words: "What did he ask you to give me?"

Li Lang handed the boiled eggs and soy milk to He Chi, curled his lips: "Here, this."

He Chi took it, and kicked Li Lang's ass angrily: "If you don't take it out sooner the fuck, it'll be cold!"

Li Lang was aggrieved: "You came so late by yourself, it's already cold! Our brotherhood is also cold!"

He Chi made a "cut".

When Su Xing returned to his seat, Li Lang handed him the bun. Su Xing took the paper bag and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Li Lang glanced at He Chi and said, "He said thank you." Then he glanced at Su Xing: "He said no thanks."

Su Xing took a steamed stuffed bun and came out to eat it slowly. Li Lang was greedy, turned his upper body, and leaned on Su Xing's table and asked, "Xueba, can you share it with me? I didn't eat in the morning."

Su Xing nodded and said, "Eat it, I don't like barbecued pork."

Li Lang was gearing up, and laughed straight: "That's great, I just love meat!"

"Cough cough!"

Before he put his hand into the bag, He Chi coughed twice beside him.

His Boss He held up an English book, on the surface he looked very serious, but in fact his toes were already touching his butt under the table.

With a mournful face, Li Lang withdrew his hand nonchalantly: "Don't eat, you eat, I'll be full if I eat the air and drink the northwest wind."

Su Xing: "..."

After a while, Li Lang turned around again, gave Su Xing a hand warmer, and recited a passage like an artificial intelligence reciting a textbook, with no ups and downs: "It has been charged in the morning, and it can be heated all morning. When you go to the cafeteria to eat at noon, put it in the classroom to charge it, and you can use it in the afternoon.”

After reciting it, he turned to He Chi and asked, "Boss, didn't you miss anything?"

"Cough cough!"

He Chi coughed twice again to cover it up, turned a page of the book without looking sideways, and kicked Li Lang's chair hard with his foot under the desk.

Su Xing understood what was going on in his heart, and a faint smile flickered across the corner of his mouth. He took the hand warmer and saw that it was pink.

What is He Chi's obsession with pink?

The motorcycle helmet he gave him was pink, and even the hand warmer he gave him was pink?

He Chi tried to cover up with his textbooks, thinking that his peeping was flawless. He glanced at Su Xing out of the corner of his eye and saw that he had put the hand warmer in the drawer. He frowned and kicked Li Lang under the table again.

Li Lang jumped up from his chair in fright, turned around to look, He Chi gave him a wink, Li Lang made an "OK" gesture, and said to Su Xing: "Xueba, why don't you use it, take it quickly." Come out and warm up."

Su Xing held back his laughter and said coldly, "It's not cold."

Li Lang shrugged, with an expression of "I tried my best".

He Chi mouthed to him.

"waste."

It's the last day before the exam.

Su Xing didn't have the habit of hugging Buddha's feet the night before the exam, so he casually flipped through two pages of Chinese documents, intending to go to bed early, when the lights were turned off, Zhou Jinyan called him.

"A Xing, my mother is pregnant again," Zhou Jinyan said on the other end of the phone, not only did not sound happy, but a little depressed, "It's been four months."

"Ah."

Su Xing was not sure what mood he was in now, so he could only listen silently.

"Well, actually I should be happy, but I just feel..." Zhou Jinyan hesitated to speak with some distress, "I feel, feel that I am quite useless. My parents are very good, but I also know that they have always been happy. I want to have an Alpha child... I always feel that beta is the most useless gender, with the largest number of people, doing everything in a normal way, and always living in a normal way."

"..." Su Xing opened his mouth, but couldn't speak. He never knew how to comfort others, and Zhou Jinyan's distress was something he dreamed of.

He dreamed that when he woke up, he would no longer be an Omega, but a real beta.

"But I think you are very good. You are also a beta, but you are so smart. I wish I could be like you sometime." Zhou Jinyan sighed softly.

"The exam is tomorrow, don't think too much about it."

Su Xing didn't light up the skill of "comforting friends" by nature, so he held back for a long time, before he uttered such a dry sentence.

"Ah Xing, do you have someone you like?" Zhou Jinyan asked suddenly, changing the subject.

Su Xing got stuck and didn't know how to answer.He got up and walked to the window, the night outside the window was dark, and the sky was divided into countless blocks by intertwined electric wires.

A silhouette slowly emerged in his mind. That person was sitting on the podium, covered with the light of the setting sun.

Su Xing lowered his eyes, tapped lightly on the window frame with his index finger, and replied, "I don't know."

"I, I fell in love with a senior," Zhou Jinyan plucked up his courage, and said, "He's in the science class of the third year of high school, and he's an Alpha. I want to confess my love to him!"

Su Xing was taken aback. Zhou Jinyan had a meek personality, and he always wanted to be safe in everything he did. In his life plan, it would be best to find a suitable beta to start a family and spend the rest of his life on a blind date after graduating from university. Uncertain and risky things, he didn't dare to think about them before.

Zhou Jinyan took a deep breath, and continued: "During this period of time, I stayed with you, Boss He, and Li Lang. I was really happy. I think people have to live like this, and if they want to do something, they must Do it, if I like him, I have to tell him, otherwise I will regret it for the rest of my life! Even if I am just an ordinary beta, I have to work hard!"

He increased the volume, as if speaking out loud would be enough confidence, but immediately felt a little guilty after speaking, and asked in a low voice, "Ah Xing, do you think I'm right?"

Su Xing was silent, and his fingers tapped on the window frame to make rhythmic "click" and "click" sounds.

On the narrow street, a black cat tiptoed, dripped through a puddle of sewage on the ground, quickly passed through the darkness, and ran away.

After a while, Su Xing stopped tapping and said, "Go, if you don't try it, how will you know whether it's good or bad?"

In fact, Zhou Jinyan had already made a decision, and only one person was needed to give him some courage to move forward. He clenched his fist and said firmly, "Yes! I must try it once!"

Su Xing leaned against the window, listening to Zhou Jinyan's voice, and smiled silently.

Even the little glasses who have no opinion are braver than him.

He remembered that afternoon, he and He Chi were under the same coat, and He Chi's breath was entangled with the tip of his nose and the corners of his lips.

Do what you want to do, or you will regret it for the rest of your life.

The midterm exams are scheduled on Thursday and Friday, and the subjects are quite tight, with two exams in half a day.

The exam room was randomly arranged. One of Su Xing and He Chi was in the classroom on the first floor, and the other was on the third floor.

The last test on Friday afternoon was English. Su Xing handed in the paper half an hour earlier and went upstairs to wait for He Chi outside the classroom where he took the test.

When I reached the corner of the stairs on the second floor, I heard footsteps coming from upstairs. A man came down from the third floor, wearing camouflage trousers with the hems tucked into black short boots, with straight and slender legs.

He Chi was stunned for a moment: "You..."

Su Xing: "You..."

The two looked at each other for a moment, spoke at the same time, and got stuck at the same time.

This is the first time they have talked face to face in the past four days. The two of them are on both sides of the corner of the stairs. When they go up and down, no one knows what to say first.

"That..." He Chi rubbed his neck and took the lead to break the silence, "English is too difficult, I just copied a passage of reading questions for the composition and handed it in."

"Oh," Su Xing nodded, and said, "I think it's too simple, so I'll hand it in after I finish writing."

He Chi raised his hand to cover half of his face, and smiled lowly: "...Little Zhuangyuan, is this a mockery?"

With his smile, the inexplicably tense and awkward atmosphere between the two eased a little.

Su Xing coughed twice, and clarified solemnly: "No, I'm just stating the facts."

"Then you..." He Chi walked up the next step and asked tentatively, "You go upstairs, what's the matter?"

His tone was both a little uneasy and full of expectation, Su Xing turned his head to avoid his gaze, he seemed a little nervous, and tightened his five fingers on the railing of the stairs.

But soon, he raised his head again and looked straight at He Chi calmly: "It's okay, I want to find you."

He Chi was startled for a moment, then the corners of his tightly pursed lips trembled slightly, and he slowly raised his lips.

He laughed with relief: "What a coincidence, I want to find you too."

The exam is not over yet, and the school gate is still closed.

The two found a bench by the playground and sat down, shoulder to shoulder.

The golden light of the setting sun spread all over the ground behind them.

"Zhou Jinyan told me that he fell in love with an Alpha senior and wanted to confess his love."

He Chi said: "I can't tell that these little glasses are quite brave."

"He said that he was inspired by you, so he knew that he had to do what he wanted to do, otherwise he would regret it."

Su Xing put his hands on the bench, leaned his upper body back, and raised his head facing the sky.

He Chi's gaze rested on his face uncontrollably, his neck bent into a smooth arc, and there was a bulge at the Adam's apple.Su Xing seldom showed such an unsuspecting look, he was usually like a cold piece of porcelain, only at this time did he gain warmth.

His eyes lingered on Su Xing's light red lips, wondering how the touch felt here, whether it was soft and sweet...

Su Xing suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, and turned his head to meet He Chi's eyes.

Peeping was caught on the spot, He Chi didn't panic at all, looked directly at Su Xing calmly, and said meaningfully: "Yes, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Su Xing asked, "What about you?"

He Chi didn't react: "What?"

Su Xing pursed his lips lightly, his mouth was dry for no reason, he licked his lips, and asked, "Do you... like Alpha?"

He Chi's heart tightened, and he asked, "Is it Omega you like?"

The two looked at each other, and both found something wrong in the other's expression.

"I'm not……"

"I do not have……"

He Chi burst out laughing first, Su Xing also burst out laughing, and shook his head helplessly.

"You always thought I liked Omega?" Su Xing laughed.

He Chi sniffed, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Why do you think I like Alpha?" He Chi said with a smile, "If I like someone, no matter what gender he is, I'll fix him."

Su Xing shook his hand, turned his head slowly, and looked at He Chi.

"Are you free the morning after tomorrow? I want to take you somewhere." He Chi stood up from the chair, looked him in the eyes, and seriously invited, "I have something to tell you."

"Okay." Su Xing also looked at him with a smile, "I also have something to tell you."
