Rising like the sun

It was 1 p.m. when Li Xin arrived at Li Yu's house. As soon as he entered the door, he noticed a change in Li Yu's hair - his hair was dyed black, or a dark gray with excellent texture.

Li Yu shook his head, his soft and fluffy short hair danced playfully, "Not bad, right? I just went to Meng Sheng's house to dye it this morning."

Li Xin didn't make any comments, and followed Li Yu to his bedroom on the second floor. The first thing he noticed was the 2-meter-square bed. The orange cat was curled up in a corner and biting its tail to play.

The slightly obtrusive cat climbing frame stands next to the huge European-style solid wood wardrobe, and the hut-shaped cat litter box is placed on the balcony connected to the bedroom, with a cute small shovel beside it.

Thinking of Li Yu squatting on the balcony shoveling shit with a face full of reluctance, Li Xin couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at? Doesn't it look good if I dye dark gray?" Li Yu stroked his hair in front of the full-length mirror.

"It's beautiful." Li Xin bent down and clapped her hands at the cat, "Lollipop, come here."

Li Yubai glanced at him, "It's called Big Head, not Lollipop."

"Are you jealous that it stole your nickname? All right, it's called Big Head, and you are called Lollipop."

After sitting down at the desk with Li Xin, Li Yucai really worried about what happened in the KTV bathroom yesterday.

Seeing him startled, Li Xin patted the table lightly, "Take out the monthly exam paper." Then she took out the glasses case from her schoolbag.

Looking at Li Xin, who suddenly became three points gentle, Li Yu snorted through his nose, "Look carefully, when you wear glasses, you look like a dog!"

"Thank you for the compliment."

Li Yu slowly took out the test paper, "Well... are you my boyfriend now?"

"What do you say?"

"Then... can I no longer have girlfriends?"

"You can try." Although Li Xin was smiling, the eyes behind the lenses were not smiling at all.

"I'm just kidding," Li Yu muttered, "What's your ex-boyfriend's name?"

"Xiao Ji."

"Do you still like him?"

"It's long gone," Li Xin stared at him, "Didn't I say I like you?"

"You didn't say it, you just said you accepted the confession." Li Yu pouted slightly.

"I told you when I was waiting for the car with you, but you don't remember after drinking the pill."

"Then say it again!" Li Yu put his arms around his arm.

"Okay," Li Xin squeezed his face, "I like you, okay?"

Li Yu blushed slightly and nodded.

Li Xin flipped through Li Yu's answer sheets for each subject, and gradually frowned, "It's scarier than I imagined, even if you're blind, it should be better than this, right?"

Li Yu's mind was not on study at all, "How far have you and that chick progressed?"

"What step?"

"First base, second base, third base..."

"I haven't done it." Li Xin replied straightforwardly.

"Why did you break up?"

Li Xin had no choice but to tell a serious story about how her ankle was injured, how the other party felt bored, how she was cheated on, and how she was dumped...

"Actually, we've only been together for a few months since the summer vacation when we graduated from junior high school." Li Xin said lightly.

"Even if your leg is broken again, I won't dump you." Li Yu put his hand on his thigh and rubbed it.

"Can you stop cursing me?" Li Xin endured the slight itching from her legs, "What else do you want to know?"

"Not yet, I'll ask you when I think about it."

"You don't have to feel lost, you have nothing in common except for a little bit of similarity in appearance."

Li Yu's expression suddenly became clear, "Really?"

"He's not as cheerful as you, not as lively as you, but he's more connotative than you." Li Xin paused, but still told the truth, "Study is not as bad as yours."

Li Yu pursed his lips and accepted, "I'm also trying to improve the connotation. The book you mentioned last time, "The Snow of Kilimanjaro", I just bought it online the day before yesterday!"

"You don't have to read the books I like, just read what you like."

"Meng Xing told me that you like Hemingway, and he also said that you keep a lot of books at Lin Zhiye's house."

"Ah."

"I know Hemingway, the old man who went fishing."

"That's The Old Man and the Sea."

"That's right, I remember an excerpt from the language book, Hemingway went fishing and wrestled with fish." Li Yu said confidently.

Li Xin rubbed his temples, "It wasn't Hemingway who went to sea, but the protagonist of "The Old Man and the Sea". Hemingway was the one who wrote this novel."

"I always thought that old man was also called Hemingway..."

"Let's stop talking about the sea, okay? I'm going to get seasick," Li Xin tapped on the table, "Back to the topic, have you summed up where you are going wrong? For example——"

Li Xin took out the English paper casually, "Why are all the mistakes in this reading comprehension, have you ever thought about it?"

"I misunderstood it! The teacher said that this article is about the impact of the Internet on life. I understand it as electric shock treatment for Internet addiction."

"Why did you get it wrong?"

"I don't know the words..."

"so what should I do now?"

Li Yu lowered his eyes and played with his fingers, "Recite words..."

"You don't have to memorize it completely, but you have to know it. Starting tomorrow, you have to familiarize yourself with 20 commonly used words in high school every day, so that there will be 600 words in a month. After a few months, you will basically have no obstacles when doing the questions."

Li Yu nodded in confusion.

Li Xin looked up, glanced at the small bookshelf next to Li Yu's desk, pulled out a brand-new "College Entrance Examination English Vocabulary 3500" and flipped through it, "This one is fine, start reading from the first page... Now let's look at mathematics."

As a result, Li Xin thought that Li Yu's mathematics and physics and chemistry students needed to start over from the first year of high school.He used the current high school questions to connect the knowledge points of the first year of high school, starting from the most basic question types.

After less than an hour of studying, Li Yu couldn't sit still. First, he went downstairs to get a box of Haagen-Dazs, then asked Aunt Chun to wash the fruits and grind coffee, and even teased the cat.

Li Xin shook his head and took out the competition questions to learn by himself.Li Yu licked the spoon and leaned over, "How did you concentrate? Why do I want to play games and eat ice cream as soon as I study?"

"I was born with a lot of self-control."

"Really?" Li Yu kissed him lightly on the cheek, and seeing that he didn't respond at all, he kissed him hard again.

Lips that had become cold from ice cream, soft and moist to the touch... Li Xin put down her pen and stared at Li Yu.

"Look, your concentration is not very focused." Li Yu complacently dug out a large scoop of ice cream and put it in his mouth. The next second, his mouth was blocked by Li Xin's sudden kiss, and all the ice cream was sucked away.

After the kiss was over, Li Yu blushed and watched in astonishment as the other party's Adam's apple swallowed the ice cream.

"I hate it, give it back to me..." He muttered, hooking Li Xin's neck, and took the initiative to put his lips on it again.

After a while, Li Yu desperately pushed Li Xin away, "I'm out of breath, I'm out of breath..."

Li Xin suppressed his idea of ​​"rectifying the Fa on the spot", "Have you rested yet? When you're done, continue studying."

"Wait a minute," Li Yu licked the last bit of ice cream from the box, opened the closet and found two bags, and put them on Li Xin's lap, "I bought it in the morning, and it's a birthday present for you and classmate Li Qing."

"Gloves?" Li Xin took out the box in the bag, two pairs of soft black leather gloves, one big and one small, exuding an elegant aroma of leather goods.

"It can be used in winter." Li Yu picked up a men's model and put it on Li Xin's hand, "Look, it's just right!"

"Thank you... when is your birthday?"

"March 3, Aries, are you a Scorpio..." Li Yu shifted his attention again, "Come, come, let me check whether Aries and Scorpio are compatible."

"So you are a few months older than me."

Li Yu put down his phone and smiled awkwardly, "I'm afraid it's not a few months, but one year and a few months."

"You go to school late?"

"Well...it's my privacy." He wouldn't talk about something as embarrassing as repeating a grade!

Unexpectedly, Li Xin hit the spot right away, "Could it be that you repeated a grade? When?"

Li Yu turned his face away, "No..."

Seeing him like this, Li Xin confirmed her guess even more, "Since you and Meng Xing were young, it must not be repeated in junior high school...Could it be elementary school?"

Li Yu covered his face with his hands and let out a muffled "hmm".

"Ah?" Li Xin sighed in disbelief at first, and then asked dumbfoundedly: "Are you unable to keep up with the class?"

Li Yu saw through his fingers that Li Xin's expression didn't carry too much sarcasm, so he slowly put down his hands, "When I was in the third grade, my dad's financial chain was broken and he owed a whole lot of debt. The creditor said I look cute Yes, they want to sell me to the Golden Triangle to beat the legs of drug lords. My mother and I hid in Tibet and didn’t go to school much... When we returned to class, the teacher was already talking about equations, but I couldn’t even multiply and divide. No, I had to repeat the third grade, and only then did I get to know Meng Sheng.”

After listening carefully, Li Xin rubbed his head, "I won't laugh at you."

Li Yu nodded happily, "That's good, I'm afraid you think I'm stupid."

"Well, I've already been mentally prepared..."

Li Xin explained the problems to him for a while, and couldn't help but say, "But isn't multiplication and division something one should know in first grade?"

"That's you, and not everyone is so smart."

Under the torment of one rationale after another, Li Yu fell asleep lying on the bed, and the orange cat climbed onto his chest with its big head, purred, and fell asleep.

Li Xin sat by the bed and watched him quietly for a while, packed her schoolbag and went downstairs, but was stopped by Aunt Chun, who politely handed over [-] yuan, "Student Li, this is your tuition fee .”

Li Xin shook her head, "I am voluntary."

"Mr. Li told me to give it to you. He said that time is money."

Without much excuse, Li Xin accepted the money and said, "Thank you."

"The young master is still very smart, right? He has learned multiplication and division since the fifth grade."

"Smart, very smart." Before going out, Li Xin said affirmatively.
