one punch

When Jiang Ran woke up, the sun had become scorching hot and dazzling. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at his watch, and suddenly got up from the bed.

It's already past ten o'clock!

Why did no one wake him up!

However, he quickly realized that today was May [-]nd, and he didn't have to go to class, so he fell back, and the soft mattress rebounded his upper body.

Dou Tianxiao's bear boy was placed on the bedside table, staring straight at him.

He still remembers the first time he went back to Dou Tianxiao's house in the fourth grade and saw such a little bear on his bed. He didn't expect to keep it by his side after so many years. Except for the old style, there was no other change.

...And, the broken glass jar next to the desk lamp is also very familiar, look at the expiration date.

Ok!

Seven years ago!

He had never seen a character who loved the new and never tired of the old like Dou Tianxiao.

One person and one bear looked at each other for nearly a minute before Jiang Ran changed into a comfortable position and stretched.

Thinking back to why I stayed on Dou Tianxiao's bed last night.

When a few fragments flashed in his mind, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Jiang Ran turned his head subconsciously.

"You're awake." Dou Tianxiao was standing at the door, not looking like he was going to come in.

"Ah," Jiang Ran supported his head with one hand, "Did I drink too much last night?"

"You don't drink much," Dou Tianxiao gestured with his fingers, "about two bottoms."

Jiang Ran was pissed off by his "You're really bad" expression, "Fart! I've already drank two glasses when I remember it."

Dou Tianxiao originally wanted to answer, it can only be regarded as soda, but he decided to save face for him when the words got out of his mouth, "Really, I didn't pay much attention."

Jiang Ran went down the steps, "There are so many things you didn't pay attention to! —Oh, by the way, have your uncle left?"

"Let's go early, they have to go back to open the shop early in the morning," Dou Tianxiao asked while holding the doorknob, "Are you hungry, do you want something to eat?"

"Whatever, eat whatever you have." While speaking, he sat up from the bed and got up to get the pants on the sofa.

The slender and straight legs suddenly bumped into Dou Tianxiao's line of sight, making him suffocate.

Those embarrassing and shameful images from last night resurfaced before my eyes.

Dou Tianxiao's eyes stared uncontrollably at the movements of his hands.

Jiang Ran just lifted up his shirt in front of him and sniffed it...

Dou Tianxiao raised his brows, and finally saw the tight muscles and waist clearly.

After confirming that there was no smell, the other party put it down again, and picked up the jeans on the sofa.

Dou Tianxiao felt that his ears were getting hotter and hotter. He was worried that Jiang Ran's peripheral vision would receive something, so he turned his head slightly and pretended to rummage through the closet.

I saw that Jiang Ran bent over and lifted his legs to pull the zipper in one go, and made a very faint "click" sound when he pulled out his belt. Dou Tianxiao clenched a sweater in his hand, and couldn't help but think of helping Jiang last night. The picture of burning off pants.

He even shamelessly felt that the sound of the belt buckle was extraordinarily sexy and provocative.

Hey!

Crazy, crazy, crazy!

Dou Tianxiao slammed the door shut with a "bang", making Jiang Ran shrug his shoulders in fright.

"What's the matter with you?" Jiang Ran opened the kitchen door.

"No." Dou Tianxiao put the leftover lean meat porridge from the morning into the pot to reheat, and put on a spring and bright expression.

Jiang Ran stared at him for a while, "I want to brush my teeth, do you have a toothbrush?"

"Yes, I just bought a new board yesterday." After Dou Tianxiao prepared a series of brand new toiletries for him, he rushed back to the kitchen without saying anything.

Jiang Ran looked at his back and paused for a long time. He always felt that Dou Tianxiao was acting strange today, but he couldn't say what was strange.

After breakfast, Jiang Ran also proposed to go to the city library together, "The third floor was expanded a while ago. It has a large area, and there are all kinds of books."

Dou Tianxiao let out an "ah" and politely declined.

Jiang Ran was stunned, "Are you busy?"

Dou Tianxiao scratched his head and evasively said, "It's a holiday... I just... want to stay at home, so go."

"That's fine." Jiang Ran's tone was light, and he couldn't tell if he was disappointed. After a while, he added, "Next time you want to go, tell me next time, and I will take you there."

Dou Tianxiao nodded.

How could he not want to go to the library with Jiang Ran?

If it was normal, the thought of being able to read a book with him next to him would have made him feel as energetic as if he had won dozens of games in a row beating landlords.

But now he is very afraid of getting close to Jiang Ran, afraid that that secret and obscure emotion will develop to the point where it is difficult to control.

He felt that what he needed most now was calmness and restraint.

He was afraid that one day, he would become... a wretched pervert in Jiang Ran's eyes.

Dou Tianxiao originally wanted to forget those weird and embarrassing emotions through continuous study and exercise, but every night, when he was lying on the bed, he would still think of that extraordinarily slender figure.

He misses the scent of Jiang Ran like crazy, imagines Jiang Ran lying beside him, and whenever he feels the touch of Jiang Ran's bare thigh rubbing against his skin, he feels restless.

It was a particularly difficult time.

He has had almost insomnia for almost a month.

He didn't even know how he suddenly became like this.

He miraculously understood and empathized with the lovelorn texts that were so hypocritical to death in Qzone.

After the final exam of the first year of high school, he bought himself an old flip phone with the pocket money he usually saved from food and frugality. After opening the Internet, he started to read idle books online. Sure enough, the longing is not as strong as before.

During the rainy season in the Jiangnan area, the sun would not be visible, ranging from three to five days to ten and a half months. After finally surviving a week of continuous torrential rain, Dou Tianxiao called the noodle shop while waiting for his clothes to dry.

He hasn't been back to the countryside for a long time, and he wants to go back to see his family, and at the same time, to stay away from Jiang Ran.

It's okay if he can't meet, but when he sees him, he is afraid that he will start to feel uneasy again and panic.

There was no response from the other end of the phone. Dou Tianxiao felt that the store might be too busy, so he went to dry the clothes first, and cooked a small pot of gnocchi for himself.

After a while, Ye Xi, who stayed up all night in the Internet cafe, also came back with big dark circles - he was recently obsessed with a gun game, and felt that the computer at home was too laggy to affect his performance, so he spent all day in the Internet cafe.

"Brother, have you eaten yet?" Dou Tianxiao asked.

"No, I don't want to eat. I'm a little sleepy. Go to bed first." Ye Xi closed the door and launched herself onto the mattress.

Dou Tianxiao came in with a small bowl of gnocchi, "Eat as much as you want, I added a lot of meatballs and vegetables, it's delicious."

Ye Xi reluctantly sat up, and Dou Tianxiao called the noodle shop again.

"Who are you calling?" Ye Xi asked while chewing on the meatballs.

"Uncle, no one has answered the phone at the noodle shop. I have called several times." Dou Tianxiao dialed the number in the country, and after the waiting tone ended, there was another busy tone, "It's strange."

"Did I go to someone's house for a wedding, I'll call my mother to see." Ye Xi also took out his mobile phone.

Still no one answered the first call, Dou Tianxiao frowned, and a sense of panic spread from the bottom of his heart.

"what's up?"

"I do not know either."

Fortunately, the second call was finally connected.

"Hello, what's the matter?" Auntie's voice was hoarse, as if she had a cold.

Ye Xi turned on the speakerphone directly, "Mom, why is your voice so weird? Are you sick?"

"Oh, it's all right, it's been raining and hot and cold, I've got a cold, why are you calling me?"

"It's nothing. Are you not at the noodle shop? Why is no one answering the phone? We, Xiaoxiao, are a little worried about you." Ye Xi said.

"Auntie, I'll go back to the countryside to see you tomorrow." Dou Tianxiao hurriedly said.

My aunt paused, "Your dad hasn't been feeling well these days, and he's a little dizzy, so the noodle shop isn't open, and he's resting in the country. You should live in the city first, as there aren't any quilts for you to dry in the country."

"Dizziness? Is it serious? When did it happen? Why didn't you tell us?" Ye Xi asked a series of questions. In his impression, his father rarely got sick, and at most he went to the pharmacy for a cough and a cold to dispense two boxes of western medicine. Passed by, dizzy to the point of not opening a shop, sounds pretty serious.

"Maybe I'm too tired. I've been talking about neck pain. I guess it's dizziness caused by cervical spondylosis. Don't worry too much, just study hard." My aunt said.

"We have been on vacation for a long time!" Dou Tianxiao said, "Uncle is not feeling well, go to the hospital for a check-up, don't hold on - or I will go back and take him to the hospital now."

Aunt: "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. Today is much better than the previous two days, but I'm usually too tired. We will close the door earlier in the evening."

At this time, my uncle also leaned in front of the mobile phone, "Hey, I'm fine. The weather forecast says that there will be another heavy rain later. Don't come back, come back another day."

"Oh, let's do it, uncle, you have to take good care of yourself." Dou Tianxiao said.

Aunt: "When he gets better, we'll go to the market to see you together, and buy some new clothes for you—oh, by the way, how did you do in the exam?"

Guiltyly, Dou Tianxiao stuck out his tongue at Ye Xi: "The report card hasn't come out yet..."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xi continued to eat gnocchi, and Dou Tianxiao was also idle at home, so he was going to go to the boxing gym to consume it all afternoon.

Jiang Ran's house was right in front of their house, and he would pass by every day when he went out. Although Dou Tianxiao hadn't been to Jiang Ran's new house, every time he passed by, he would instinctively glance at the location on the 5th floor of Unit [-].

Several times before, he saw Jiang Ran's clothes and trousers hanging out on the balcony.

On a rainy day, I dried seven or eight T-shirts...

He felt that he was probably sick, and he would be secretly happy when he looked at the other person's underwear, and he didn't know why he was so happy.

But the emotion just can't be controlled.

Later, he checked online, and Du Niang told him that this was a symptom of liking someone.

Dou Tianxiao felt that this would not work, so he searched again, "How can I make myself hate someone?"

Someone replied: Try to capture his shortcomings, list them in a small book, magnify his shortcomings, and at the same time narrow down or even ignore his advantages. Whenever you think of the other party, think about his shortcomings first.

But Dou Tianxiao thought about it all night, and felt that Jiang Ran didn't seem to have any shortcomings except that he didn't cook well, but he thought of a lot of his advantages.

Good-looking, good grades, clean, generous, self-motivated, strong self-management ability, very sense of justice, never gossip behind others, careful and caring...

Such a perfect character!

I can't hate it at all!

Dou Tianxiao tore up the A4 paper and decided to follow the original plan - keep a safe distance.

He thought that by keeping a certain distance from Jiang Ran, this absurd and outrageous emotional upsurge would gradually subside. Who would have imagined that after the announcement of the college entrance examination results, the relaxed Jiang Ran went to the gym to apply for a quarterly swimming card.

What troubled Dou Tianxiao was that his contract area happened to be the swimming pool on the second floor.

One day, Jiang Ran, who was shirtless, leaned on his waist with one hand, stared at someone who was peeping in the corner and yelled loudly, "Dou Tianxiao, what kind of diorama do you look at! Too little work, isn't it? If it hurts, come and take a swim with me!"

"I won't!" Dou Tianxiao yelled these three words with a mighty momentum.

Jiang Ran pointed at him, and then at the swimming pool, "If you don't mind asking for advice! Hurry up! I'll teach you how to plan a dog!"
