Confessions of a retired star

Zhu Shisi: ...

Fang Shuyun: ...

After staring at each other wordlessly for two seconds, Zhu Shisi slumped back on the bed and shrank into the quilt. His face was so hot that he was about to explode. He never dreamed that his rival would see him go crazy.

Damn Fang Shuyun, he's too good at picking his time!Zhu Shisi grabbed the corner of the quilt and wanted to cry, but at this time the other end of the bed sank, and Fang Shuyun's concerned voice came from the opposite side.

"How does it feel?"

Zhu Shisi was stunned for a moment, then lifted the corner of the quilt and peeked over. Fang Shuyun was sitting at the end of the bed, his left hand was naturally placed on Zhu Shisi's curled up calf through the quilt, without any offense or ridicule.

"...It's okay." Zhu Shisi replied in a strange way.

He originally wanted to choke on Fang Shuyun, such as saying "Congratulations" meanly that he got the first place in the exam again, but when he saw Fang Shuyun's calm and gentle eyes, he couldn't say a word he wanted to say, and there was an inexplicable hint of a child's playfulness in his heart. embarrassment.

Zhu Shisi turned his face away, closed his eyes, and refused to accept the sugar-coated bullets from Fang Shuyun.

Fang Shuyun didn't speak either. After a while, the weight at the end of the bed disappeared. Zhu Shisi thought he was gone, and when he was about to squint his eyes to confirm, a box of warm things was stuck to his cheek.

"You didn't eat at noon. I don't know what you like to eat, so I bought a drink. Drink it while it's hot to replenish your energy."

Fang Shuyun didn't know when he squatted on the head of the bed. Zhu Shisi saw his face when he opened his eyes. He was startled, and his eyes fell on the drink in front of him. He picked it up and saw that it was a box of milk tea , strawberry flavored, Zhushisi likes this kind of sweet thing the most.

Seeing Zhu Shisi swallowed calmly, Fang Shuyun smiled and said, "Do you like this taste?"

"Well," Zhu Shisi nodded honestly, and then became awkward again, "I don't really like it..."

"Then what do you like? I'm going to buy a new box."

"No, no need, don't spend money."

Fang Shuyun nodded, and crouched down beside Zhu Shisi's pillow. Zhu Shisi inserted a straw and took a few sips. The sweet liquid slipped into his throat. The healing effect was first-class, and even Fang Shuyun was not so obtrusive.

Zhu Shisi aimed at Fang Shuyun with a straw in his mouth. The other party was looking at him with his chin in his mouth. Zhu Shisi said thank you vaguely. Fang Shuyun seemed a little surprised. He smiled to indicate that he heard it, and threw the straw packaging into the box. Trash can next to the bed.

This little move made Zhu Shisi feel hot. This semester is almost over, and they didn't say more than five sentences. Fang Shuyun unilaterally asked him to talk to him. He seemed to hate him because he didn't know him at all. Is it too much to treat him as a class enemy?

Zhu Shisi suddenly realized that he was confused by Fang Shuyun's box of milk tea, he was too spineless.

But this hot milk tea is really delicious. Zhu Shisi has not spent money on drinks for a long time since he had a patient at home.

"That..." Fang Shuyun on the side spoke slowly, "There is something I want to discuss with you."

"What?" Zhu Shisi became alert, and I knew that the weasel had no good intentions in wishing the chicken a new year.

"Don't memorize in the toilet in the morning. It's getting colder and colder. If you want, I will also open at 05:30 in the future, and we will go into the classroom to study."

"...I didn't recite the book in the toilet!"

Fang Shuyun sighed: "Do you think you are the only one who pays attention to me? I also pay attention to you all the time. I have a tight schedule, look at the electronic dictionary with a sneer, and have erratic eyes when talking to the back row in class. The cross in my homework book... I know everything."

"..." The red tide that had just faded from Zhu Shisi's face rushed back quickly, feeling ashamed and ashamed, his thin face was burning hot, the secret was revealed, and the villain's heart in his chest beat his throat even more They were all shaking, and retorted with difficulty, "You, you... I... I didn't..."

"No, you have," Fang Shuyun showed a determined smile without a trace of joking, "I have been paying attention to your every move since I saw the red mole on your eye at the beginning of school, and I really want to be friends with you .”

Zhu Shisi's head buzzed and exploded. Is this what the old enemy should say?What kind of new sugar-coated shell is this?Shouldn't he take advantage of the fire to humiliate himself?

He looked at Fang Shuyun blankly, his eyes were clear and at ease, and his smile was generous and generous: "So are you willing?"

"...What do you want?"

"Be friends with me." Fang Shuyun stretched out his right hand.

friend?Zhu Shisi recited the word silently and lowered his head.

Be friends with Fang Shuyun?

Fang Shuyun is not joking, nor is it a prank, Zhu Shisi can be sure from his piercing eyes, which makes Zhu Shisi very embarrassed.

Why should he be led by the nose by narrow-minded jealousy, why would he refuse to face up to Fang Shuyun's popularity and suspect him of duplicity?He is simply a clown immersed in a one-man show, is he worthy of being his friend?

Zhu Shisi quietly rubbed his sweaty hands under the quilt, not daring to stretch them out for a long time.

"Actually, I mustered up the courage to come to you today. After all, we only talked a few words." Fang Shuyun's frank smile showed a little shyness, "But I must seize this opportunity and tell you my thoughts, even if I am rejected. Well, at least I won't regret it."

This sentence...why does it sound like a confession?Zhu Shisi adjusted his wandering thoughts back. At this time, Fang Shuyun's sore hand stopped in mid-air and trembled. Zhu Shisi couldn't help holding it.

"Are you laughing at me..."

Zhu Shisi said with a blushing face, but did not answer Fang Shuyun's question about friends directly.

"Huh?" Fang Shuyun showed a happy and puzzled expression.

"Wake up earlier than the chicken will fail you."

Fang Shuyun burst into laughter: "Your thinking is too jumpy."

"Didn't you say to open the door for me at 05:30 every morning?" Zhu Shisi muttered in a low voice, his mouth still not softening, "Actually, you study at home all night every day, and you secretly compete with me, right?"

"Where does such a thing happen?" Fang Shuyun let go of his hand first, and patted Zhu Shisi on the shoulder, "I don't read books when I go home, I read novels every day."

Zhu Shisi opened his eyes wide: "Reading novels? Liar."

"Really, if you come to my house on the weekend, you will know."

"I'm going to cram school on weekends."

"Where are you going? I'll pick you up."

……

After three months of unilateral hostility, on this day at the beginning of December, Zhu Shisi opened up his heart and chatted with Fang Shuyun for the first time, gained the first friend since entering school, and made an appointment to finish the cram school on the weekend morning Later, he went to Fang Shuyun's house as a guest.

For Zhushisi, all this is a new experience.

Soon it was the weekend, after the cram school was over, Zhu Shisi stayed and asked the teacher a few questions. After everyone had left, he remembered that he had an appointment with Fang Shuyun today, so he quickly packed his schoolbag and ran downstairs.

Fang Shuyun was wearing a dark brown thick sweater, leaning on the bicycle beside the flower bed, holding a book in his hand and reading intently, not noticing Zhu Shisi who was rushing towards him.

"What are you looking at?"

Zhu Shisi ran over, bringing a cool breeze, Fang Shuyun had a rustic aroma of roasted fruit, Zhu Shisi felt like roasted chestnuts, because his sweater was like chestnuts.

Fang Shuyun adjusted his glasses, revealing the cover of the book, "Tenderness Like Water".

"Tenderness like water? Do you read romance novels?"

"No," Fang Shuyun smiled and shook his head, "This is not romance."

"Oh," Zhu Shisi didn't care what he was looking at, he made Fang Shuyun wait for a long time, and weighed the wallet in his pocket regretfully, "Well...it's cold, let me treat you to a hot drink."

Fang Shuyun closed the book and stepped on the bicycle: "No need, it's inconvenient to carry a drink while riding a bicycle."

Zhu Shisi breathed a sigh of relief silently, the money for two drinks was enough for him to buy a teaching aid, Fang Shuyun saw Zhu Shisi's relaxed mouth, smiled, and put "Like Water Tenderness" into Zhu Shisi's schoolbag , After Zhu Shisi went to the shed to pick up the car, they set off on the road together.

The cold wind in the early winter was blowing, because someone was accompanying and joking, Zhu Shisi, who was only wearing a denim jacket, didn't feel cold.

After riding for about half an hour, Fang Shuyun led Zhu Shisi into a quiet and old school district, and got off the car in front of a quaint courtyard.

"This is your house?"

"It's my grandma's house. I usually live here, not far from the school."

Zhu Shisi drove behind Fang Shuyun. This is a two-storey red brick villa with a hidden fence entrance facing the alley. There is a garden at the entrance, where various plants are planted.

Fang Shuyun leaned the car next to the swing in the garden, and Zhu Shisi also leaned there like him. They walked along the stone road to the entrance one after the other, and two gray-haired and kind old men were already waiting at the door.

After a brief introduction, Fang Shuyun's grandmother cordially took Zhu Shisi's nervous hand and led him into the house: "Shuyun often mentions you, what a wonderful child, Shuyun is taken care of by you."

Grandpa also nodded at the side, and praised Zhu Shisi's symbolic spirit, like a movie star, which made Zhu Shisi embarrassed to ask Fang Shuyun for help, and Fang Shuyun laughed at the side.

The two old people put a piece of candy on the left and a plate of fruit on the right side, surrounded Zhu Shisi to make daily life. Zhu Shisi was polite at the beginning, but after eating the first candy, he got out of control and was fed by the second elder before eating. .

When it was time for the meal, the food was very delicious. Of the four people on the table, three of them kept picking up food for Zhu Shisi.

"I...I can't..."

Zhu Shisi begged for mercy to Fang Shuyun who was next to him, Fang Shuyun touched Zhu Shisi's stomach, and after confirming that he was full, he put down his chopsticks: "Grandma, grandpa, eat slowly, I will go into the room with Shisi to rest for a while .”

Fang Shuyun took Zhu Shisi away from the enthusiastic dining table, Zhu Shisi whispered: "I'd better stay and wash the dishes, and play after eating, I'm so sorry."

"You are a guest, it is your duty to eat and play."

Fang Shuyun, who was walking in front, blinked at Zhu Shisi, and added: "Come on, the time to prove yourself has come."
