Blow

About ten days later, Xia Jue finished the final exam one step earlier than Wen Xiao, first returned to Juzhou, and then flew to Beijing from Juzhou.

——He specially went to accompany Wen Xiao in the competition. On the one hand, he really missed it. On the other hand, he heard that during the digital simulation competition, he would have to spin for 90 hours. He couldn't let it go, so he brought some supplements.

However, Wen Xiao didn't know about all this, and only thought that Xia Jue had successfully passed the exam and was at home.

On Friday morning, the last subject was handed in. The atmosphere in the class was relaxed, and most of the people were immersed in the joy of winter vacation.Wen Xiao was still in a hurry, and rushed to the computer room to meet with Fei Yi and Fang Ligao.

There are less than two days left until the Mae Sai.

They have successfully passed the registration before, and have done a lot of preparatory work, and clarified the general division of labor in the competition: Fei Yi is the most experienced and capable, responsible for modeling and leading the overall situation; Fang Ligao is a computer professional, mainly responsible for code; Wen Xiao is the Newcomer, inexperienced, but with excellent English skills, responsible for papers, assisting in modeling and programming.

Also gathered in the computer room, there were several other teams in the school.Everyone is the same. After finishing the communication and summary today, we will suspend training to recharge our batteries and fight a fierce battle for four days and three nights.

"Don't forget the time," Fei Yi emphasized once again before parting after sorting out and discussing the materials, "Be sure to arrive at five o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow. If you are afraid that you won't be able to get up, go out to the room and sleep with me."

The race schedule is based on Eastern Time in the United States. The papers are released at [-]:[-] pm locally, and it is [-]:[-] am in Beijing.

"Sleeping with you, then I would rather sleep in the computer room," Fang Ligao said speechlessly, "I'm sure it's fine."

Fei Yi then looked at Wen Xiao.

Wen Xiao was about to answer, but Fei Yi said first, "Leave it alone."

Fang Ligao immediately gave Wen Xiao a look of "you wish you were lucky", smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and ran away, probably going back to have a good night's sleep.

Wen Xiao was taken by Fei Yi outside the computer room to a corner where no one passed by.

"How is it?" Fei Yi leaned against the handrail of one side of the stairs, crossed his arms, and put on a questioning gesture. "The official competition is about to begin. How do you feel?"

Wen Xiao replied: "I can get up early and never be late."

"You know I don't mean this," Fei Yi said, "I ask you, do you still have the confidence to give the school the first place at the beginning? You know, in international competitions like the US Competition, there are O and F awards. The proportion of winning awards added up is only a few tenths of a percent.”

The so-called O Award and F Award are the Outstanding Winner and Finalist of the American Mathematical Modeling Contest respectively. There are three other awards from high to low, M, H, and S.Among them, the S award is equivalent to the participation award, which is of little significance. The remaining ones judged as U and DQ are due to unsuccessful participation and disqualification.

"I will do my best." Wen Xiao said cautiously.

Fei Yi shook his head inexplicably: "We've known each other for so long, there's no need to talk like this."

Wen Xiao was startled, and asked, "What?"

"I mean, can you be more sincere?" Fei Yi spread his hands, "Otherwise, if you are still holding your breath until now, it will be too boring-I admit that I used to be prejudiced against you because you were in a relationship, yes If you mind my misjudgment, I can apologize."

"I didn't pay attention to this." Wen Xiao frowned.

Fei Yi asked: "Really? Then why do I feel that you are under more pressure than me and Lao Gao now? Because you seem to have decided that you have a bet with me, and if the results of this US competition are mediocre, you will will think they have lost."

"I didn't," Wen Xiao denied after listening, without even thinking about it, "You feel wrong."

Fei Yi was noncommittal, and looked elsewhere.

With a thought in his mind, Wen Xiao suddenly understood what the other party meant.

Fei Yi has a typical aggressive personality, and it is difficult to comfort people directly with words. What he said just now is not so much a reproach or a questioning, but more like a hint to Wen Xiao that he should pay attention to decompressing himself.

"Anyway, I'm not too nervous," Wen Xiao thought for a while and said, "I can accept any result for the first time."

Sure enough, Fei Yi looked at him again, squinted his eyes, and smiled a little on his face: "Let's talk about it first, everything else is fine, but you can't take S."

Then they went back to the dormitory.

Most of the roommates were packing their luggage and preparing to go home, only Wen Xiao was free.He planned to really relax for a day, chat with Xia Jue, and make video calls at night.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned on the phone and was about to read WeChat, the phone rang.

When Wen Xiao picked it up, he could only hear what Xia Jue was saying over there, mixed with the whirring of the wind, it was indistinct and inaudible, and he could vaguely make out the words "school gate".

"I can't hear you clearly." Wen Xiao's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "Xia Jue, what did you say?"

Then there was a mess of movement from Xia Jue's end, and the voice gradually became clear.He said with a smile, "Wen Xiao, where do you think I am?"

"...Stand still, or find a place to take shelter from the wind," Wen Xiao said in a deep voice, as a certain thought in his heart was confirmed, "Send me the location, and I will pick you up."

"Wait, you guessed the answer now?" Xia Jue was surprised, "Do you know where I am?"

Wen Xiao said: "I heard the first sentence a bit. The wind is so strong, is it at the gate of my school? The east gate?"

Xia Jue let out a "huh".

"I'll be right there." Wen Xiao hurriedly got up and put on his down jacket.

This is obviously a posture to go out, and the roommate Lao Wu asked curiously: "Is there anyone here at this time? Who is it?"

Ji Xinci, who rolled the quilt on the upper layer, said in a bad mood: "Look at him like that, and ask who it is, can you think about it with your pig's trotters head that is destined to be single."

He and Wen Xiao are still roommates now, and since the previous conversation, they have kept their word and kept a proper distance from Wen Xiao, and their reactions to Wen Xiao and Xia Jue have become much more normal.

Wen Xiao didn't bother to respond to them, and went out quickly.

It was very cold outside.Because Xia Jue was worried that the wind would blow too much and his cold would recur, instead of walking as usual, he chose to ride a bicycle to pick up people, and drove all the way.

From a long distance away, Wen Xiao recognized Xia Jue by his figure and posture.

Xia Jue wrapped herself up tightly, wearing a wool cap and a cotton mask with a cartoon pattern.The texture of the mask was not very good, Wen Xiao looked at it and felt a little familiar.

When he came to Xia Jue, he finally remembered that he bought it for Xia Jue from a small supermarket on the side of the road when he was still in the Sanbianqiao community.

Wen Xiao couldn't help stretching out his hand to pull.

"Hey, what do you do as soon as we meet?" Xia Jue quickly protected her.

Wen Xiao thought to himself: Such an ugly thing is so precious.

"Don't want this," he said, "I'll buy you a new one later."

Xia Jue protested, "If I buy a new one, I won't lose it."

Wen Xiao was speechless for a moment, and wanted to touch Xia Jue's forehead, but it was mostly covered by the brim of the woolen hat, so he scratched and pinched the bridge of his exposed nose instead.

— icy cold.

It's just that once you touch it, you can't bear to let go.Wen Xiao had to take a deep breath to suppress the throbbing in his heart.

"Let's go, go to my dormitory first," he said, while pulling Xia Jue's big backpack, intending to help carry it, "If you want to come, don't tell me in advance, what if I'm not here, what will you do?"

Xia Jue tightened her shoulder straps: "If you want to ride a bicycle, I can carry it by myself... If I say so, will you still let me come? You must let me wait at home."

Wen Xiao thought about it, too, and rubbed his hat.

After a while, the bicycle carried an extra person and drove slowly on the campus trail.

Xia Jue held her schoolbag in one hand, hugged Wen Xiao's waist in the other, and said with a smile, "I've never seen you ride a bicycle before. I always thought that if you were going to ride, you must be riding a 'Dead Fly'. I didn't expect this..."

Wen Xiao's bicycle is of ordinary style, far less light and cool than "Dead Fly".

"Earth?" Wen Xiao didn't care, and helped Xia Jue complete the words, "Death is not safe. And if I ride a death, how can I take you."

Xia Jue poked him on the back: "Stop throwing the blame on me. Did you buy the bicycle just to take me with you? It's hard for us to see each other."

"Otherwise," Wen Xiao asked back, "I don't feel my butt? It's not for taking you, who did I add the cushion for?"

Xia Jue was taken aback for a moment, then unconsciously bent her eyes and kissed him on the back.

With a mask and such a thick winter coat, it is reasonable to say that people should not be aware of it.But when they stopped downstairs in the dormitory, Wen Xiao said, "It's not easy to sit in a car, you're so idle."

"You have eyes on your back?" Xia Jue was suddenly incredulous, "You can see everything."

Wen Xiao glanced at him lightly, but didn't tell Xia Jue that in fact, he had a rough picture in his mind of every move he made when he was sitting in the back seat of the car just now.

——Maybe because I have thought about it too many times, in all the days when I can't meet.

Xia Jue was still puzzled.

"I'm going to get a change of clothes and go out to stay at night," Wen Xiao said after helping him straighten his hair and hat, "Are you going upstairs together, or are you waiting in the lobby?"

Xia Jue chose to follow.

After climbing a few flights of stairs, he thought it was too hot, so he took off his mask, and followed Wen Xiao curiously to look around.Little did he know that other people were also paying attention to him. Somehow, such a handsome boy stood with another cool guy, instantly raising the average appearance value of the entire dormitory building.

The two walked to the door of the dormitory, Wen Xiao unlocked it and let Xia Jue in first.

It was originally noisy inside, but from a certain moment, it became silent for a few seconds.

Xia Jue was caught off guard, and suddenly became the center of sight, smiling and saying hello to Wen Xiao's roommates one by one, including Ji Xinci, a little embarrassed.

Wen Xiao calmly packed some clothes, daily necessities, computer, and finally put on the bag.

"I'm fine." He said to Xia Jue.

On the other end, Ji Xinci's gaze straightened a little, and he murmured, "I'm fine too."

Wen Xiao glanced at him inexplicably, greeted the other roommates a few times, and took Xia Jue away.

Considering that Wen Xiao was going back to the school computer room to participate in the competition, they stayed at Boyaa International nearby.The price is a bit high, but the advantage is that the distance is close and the environment is good.

The room fee was paid by Wen Xiao, and after entering the room, Xia Jue insisted on paying the other half - he also found a part-time job to earn extra money, and usually saves money, so he also has spare money on hand.

Wen Xiao refused to accept WeChat transfers, so he took advantage of Wen Xiao to go to the bathroom, trying to secretly stuff cash into Wen Xiao's bag, but inadvertently groped into the interlayer and found a few thin square plastic packages.

This is……

"What are you looking for?" Wen Xiao asked suddenly behind him.

For a moment, Xia Jue was frightened, and the object in his hand was thrown onto the carpet.He turned his head, only to realize that Wen Xiao had come out at some point, only two or three steps away from him, with his eyebrows slightly raised, with a half-smile on his face.

"Why are you still walking?" Xia Jue's heart was still beating wildly, and she didn't dare to look at the things she threw on the carpet, "I..."

Wen Xiao finally couldn't help laughing out loud, and said, "It's interesting to see you acting like you're sneaking around and thinking no one will notice."

With that said, he squatted down, picked up the two safety condoms that fell to the ground, and put them on the coffee table.

The packaging of this brand of safes/condoms is silver, with a bit of metallic texture, which just reflects the light at this moment, making it very dazzling.

Xia Jue could no longer pretend not to see, his eyes became erratic.During the ambiguous silence, Wen Xiao saw that his face was gradually turning red, spreading to his ears and neck.

Originally entering the room, the first thing Wen Xiao was going to do was hug him, but now he can't help but think more.

"Have you been exercising recently?" Wen Xiao involuntarily lowered his voice, "Have you really gained muscle and gained two kilograms?"

Xia Jue didn't understand the meaning of this question in the current situation, but she still nodded subconsciously, and then saw Wen Xiao's Adam's apple slipping slightly.

So he suddenly understood, and whispered: "If you don't believe me, come and hug me."
