In the Same Boat

Yao Zhan is a strange thing in the class. In Shao Wei's words: "Have you seen that kind of youth campus idol drama? If Yao Zhan is allowed to shoot the kind of actor who is full of pretentious things, then Act in your true colors."

Seventeen or eighteen years old, boys and girls are in their prime. At this time, each child’s heart is full of agitation. Occasionally passing a small note, occasionally giving a sneak peek, is a common thing.

But for Yao Zhan, almost no girls wrote love letters to him, and of course, no boys stuffed him with notes.

This is not because he is bad-looking or has any defects. On the contrary, Yao Zhan is handsome with good grades, and his parents are also high-level intellectuals. Logically, it shouldn't be.

But there are too many things that shouldn't happen in this world, Yao Zhan really has no one to hook up with.

Shao Wei also summed up the reason: "You have an X indifferent face, and you are X indifferent at this age. Who dares to provoke you?"

In fact, Yao Zhan's personality is a bit arrogant, and he doesn't catch anyone's eyes. In other words, he is actually a second-degree disease.

In the past few years in high school, Yao Zhan's only friend is their class monitor, Shao Wei. Shao Wei and Yao Zhan are two extremes, they are good brothers everywhere, and they like to call friends wherever they go.

Shao Wei said: "Old Yao, you can't do this all the time, you are too out of group. As the class monitor, I am very worried about your physical and mental health!"

Yao Zhan shrugged indifferently: "Don't worry about it, I'm fine."

"Why don't you do this," Shao Wei said, "Recently, the head teacher has arranged a job for me, and you can practice your ability to communicate with others if you join me."

At that time, Yao Zhan was buying cigarettes and was wearing a school uniform. The uncle of the supermarket even persuaded him that he should not smoke when he is young.

"Why?" Yao Zhan asked.

"The art student in our class, he missed too much in culture, and the teacher asked me to make up for it." Shao Wei said, "I don't know him well, so it's awkward to be alone."

Yao Zhan refused without even thinking about it at the time, but he couldn't hold back Shao Wei, and finally said helplessly: "Let's talk about it when the time comes."

That art student was called Qu Yiheng, and Yao Zhan knew that there was such a person in the class, who only came two or three days a week, and often only taught half a day in the class.

The boy was quite honest, he didn't talk much, he was fair and thin, and he often came to the classroom with a drawing board on his back. This was Yao Zhan's only impression of Qu Yiheng back then.

On Yao Zhan's birthday, both his parents went to work overtime. In fact, he didn't pay much attention to this day, but he always hoped that his parents would be with him.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, the cake shop delivered the cake his mother had ordered for him in advance. Yao Zhan couldn't eat the cake alone, and he didn't feel happy.

After ten o'clock, Shao Wei called, first wished him a happy birthday, and then asked him if he wanted to hang out together.

Anyway, it was the weekend, and Yao Zhan would only get more and more depressed at home, so he simply went out.

Unexpectedly, Shao Wei ran the train with his mouth full, dragged him to eat a bowl of Mala Tang as "longevity noodles", and then went straight to school.

"In the future, I will believe your nonsense and take your surname." Yao Zhan sat in the taxi, a hundred times unhappy.

Shao Wei smiled and apologized: "I'm not afraid of embarrassment!"

Yao Zhanxin said: You still know how to write the word embarrassing?Why don't I believe it.

Although it is a weekend, students of our school can still go in.

When they got off the taxi, Yao Zhan saw a boy in jeans and a white T-shirt standing by the flower bed at the gate with a schoolbag on his back. It was very hot, and that man was just basking in the sun, and he didn't know how to avoid the heat.

"Hi!" Shao Wei stepped forward to greet him first, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, we are a little late eating."

Yao Zhan looked at the boy, who was obviously taken aback when he looked at him, then turned his gaze to Shao Wei who was talking, and said with a shy smile, "I just came too."

Before this day, Yao Zhan had never taken a good look at this boy named Qu Yiheng, but looking at it now, it was refreshing and clean, which made people feel very comfortable.

The three of them walked to the classroom, Shao Wei walked in the middle, Yao Zhan and Qu Yiheng followed each other like guardians.

Along the way, Shao Wei was always talking, from the Mala Tang he ate just now to the practice questions the teacher taught yesterday afternoon, he said whatever he thought of, regardless of whether the two people around him talked to him or not.

They rushed to their own classroom, Shao Wei had the class key, opened the door, and Qu Yiheng asked without saying a word for a long time: "Where shall we sit?"

"Just sit where you are." Shao Wei looked around, "Hey, where are you sitting?"

The seats in the senior three class are rotated every week, no matter whether they have good grades or poor grades, no matter if they are honest or mischievous, they can sit in the first row and the last row, so it seems quite fair.

That week, it happened to be Qu Yiheng's turn to sit at the last seat by the window. They passed by, and as soon as Qu Yiheng put down his schoolbag, Yao Zhan opened the window and sat on the windowsill.

"Let's do math first."

When Shao Wei was speaking, Qu Yiheng was staring at Yao Zhan in a daze. As soon as he made a sound, Yao Zhan also turned around, and the two just looked at each other.

When Yao Zhan looked over, Qu Yiheng immediately turned his eyes away, went to look through the schoolbag in a panic, and took out all the exercise books inside.

Yao Zhan chuckled lightly, touched his pocket and wanted to smoke.

"How can you not?" Shao Wei looked at Qu Yiheng who was flipping through the book, and asked.

Qu Yiheng was taken aback for a moment, pursed his lips, and looked embarrassed.

"Ah, I understand." Shao Wei patted his forehead, "It's the kind of state where you don't know what you can't do, right?"

Qu Yiheng nodded embarrassedly. When Yao Zhan looked at him, he found that his ears were red.

It's really easy to be shy.Yao Zhan thought so, and smiled again.

Shao Wei started to explain to Qu Yiheng from the formula in the textbook, he spoke patiently, and Qu Yiheng listened carefully, there was nothing wrong with Yao Zhan during the whole process.

Yao Zhan sat on the window sill and looked outside, thinking that when things are over here, he dragged Shao Wei to play billiards.

"Understood?"

Qu Yiheng nodded.

Shao Wei opened the exercise book and circled a few questions for Qu Yiheng to try to do first. Qu Yiheng frowned, biting his lip while doing the questions, Shao Wei and Yao Zhan went to smoke outside the classroom.

When he was seventeen or eighteen, he liked to do rebellious things. Later, in his thirties, Yao Zhan almost quit smoking, but when he was a teenager, he always smoked secretly outside.

The two of them each smoked one, and when they returned, Qu Yiheng hadn't finished.

Shao Wei went to scribble in front of the blackboard, Yao Zhan walked up to Qu Yiheng with a cigarette case in one hand and in his trouser pocket with the other.

Qu Yiheng looked up at him, his face was also flushed.

Yao Zhan glanced at him, straddled the chair in front of him, leaned on the back of the chair, and whispered: "It's okay, don't worry about me, you continue to work on the problem."

The author has something to say: I will start an extra episode today, two chapters a day, and I will come back in the afternoon.
