Chapter 104: Pretty hard to follow.
Jing Huan used to think that the exam period was the longest time, counting down the days and looking forward to the vacation.
But this time, after the last exam, when Gao Zixiang came up and took him by the shoulders and said he would see him at home, Jing Huan was still a little bit out of it.
The two friends are fighting next to each other, Gao Zixiang flirted with Lu Wenhao about his face, Lu Wenhao couldn't say anything to him, and in a short while, he was spitting and fighting, two big men fighting each other, but not as much as two cats fighting.
Jing Huan did not get involved, he took out his cell phone, the first time to find out to Huaizhi's WeChat.
Jing Huan: Brother, I'm done with the exam.
To: Uh, when are you coming home?
Jing Huan ๐ Yay: ...... tomorrow.
Jing Huan types quietly.
It had been arranged with the family a long time ago, because tomorrow was Grandpa Jing Huan's birthday, a full year old birthday, and the family was going to have a big party. If he wasn't worried about him getting tired, his dad would have arranged for someone to pick him up tonight.
Toward: meeting?
To: buy you dinner.
Jing Huan came back to life.
He went home, took a shower, changed into what he thought was his best suit, and finished it off with a little perfume.
When he arrived at the promised intersection, his smile instantly flew away along with the cold wind after seeing the four people standing together.
"Xiang Xiang said that he had asked you to have dinner with him, so I thought that we should not get together again, so I followed him here and called Wenhao and Zixiang," Lu Hang said half-jokingly, "You two don't mind, do you?"
Jing Huan tugged the corner of his mouth strongly, "Of course not."
He turned his head to look at Huaizhi, and the other glanced at him at the same time, with a hint of helplessness and remorse in his eyes, making Jing Huan laugh again.
"What's that smell?" Lu Wenhao sniffed and finally came over to Jing Huan, "Shit, you're wearing perfume? You're such a slut."
Jing Huan pushed him without force, "Not slutty for you, get lost."
Lu Wenhao was happy and joked, "Then who are you showing it to? Didn't you just ask Brother Xiang out? I'll help you ask Brother Xiang if he likes it."
When he finished, he turned his head and feigned a question.
Xiang Huaizhi was chatting with Lu Hang about something when he suddenly inclined his head and swept them a glance, "Like."
Jing Huan: "......"
Lu Wenhao froze, "I haven't asked yet, Xiang."
"Ask my ass," Jing Huan bumped him in the shoulder, "Shut the fuck up you ......"
This time we went to eat western food, Jing Huan went to the front of the line and grabbed a seat next to Huaizhi.
But the two didn't make any extra movements during the table, this restaurant was not big, the seats were a bit crowded, and the slightest little movement would be noticed.
Halfway through the meal, there came a group of students from Huaizhi's class, a line of people greeted and left, sitting at the table next to them.
Lu Wenhao probed the next table and was discovered by Gao Zixiang, who asked, "Who are you spying on?"
"Grass." Lu Wenhao was startled and slapped him, "Knowing that I'm peeping, won't you keep your voice down?"
Lu Hang listen to laugh, lowered his voice and said, "What, have a favorite girl? Those girls are single, brother can help you ask for a WeChat oh."
"That didn't happen, I still like the ones smaller than myself," Lu Wenhao said, "I just wanted to see if Huanhuan's favorite was in there."
Jing Huan almost choked on the rice, hurriedly drew out a piece of paper, covered his mouth and coughed twice, just wanting to scold him.
But he heard the man beside him speak before him.
"Oh?" Xiang Huaizhi asked, stirring the bowl with his chopsticks in a seemingly offhanded manner, "Why do you say that?"
Lu Wenhao This person has no shortcomings, just a big mouth, and boys are not as delicate as girls, like who is not something difficult to say: "Huanhuan did not tell you? Huanhuan didn't tell you that he's chasing after a schoolmate. He won't tell me who it is, so I can't help but look at her more when I see her recently. ......"
Jing Huan felt a glance towards Huaizhi.
Although the cards have been laid out for a long time, but probably because of the crowd, Lu Wenhao said so, he is still a little shy.
"Yeah." To Huaizhi, his tone was calm.
"Yes, they even chased after him twice." Lu Wenhao raised his chin to Jing Huan, "Huanhuan, tell me, did you catch up?"
Jing Huan leaned back and turned his head to meet Huaizhi's gaze.
He said, "No, it's pretty hard to chase."
I smiled at Huaizhi and said nothing.
Lu Hang : "Tell me, I'll see if I recognize it, and help you to find out what's going on."
"Forget it, I'll try on my own." Jing Huan lifted the corner of his mouth and elbowed the person next to him, "Brother, do you think I can catch up?"
To Huaizhi, he picked up the teapot and refilled his cup, "I can."
After eating and drinking, the group headed to the school. They had to say goodbye to Huaizhi and Lu Hang halfway to the library.
Jing Huan and Xiang Huaizhi walk side by side behind them, no light bulb today, Lu Wenhao is arguing with Gao Zixiang in front of them, and Lu Hang is watching the fun.
"You do well on the exam tomorrow." Jing Huan whispered, "In case you retake it, won't you have to come to class with me next year?"
When he finished, he paused and muttered, "...... seems good too?"
To Huaizhi, he cried, "Think of me well."
Jing Huan said vaguely, "Thinking about it."
The library is some distance from the dormitory, and you have to walk out a ways to go your separate ways.
Jing Huan wanted to follow Huaizhi, but he was afraid of disturbing his study, because he couldn't read properly when Huaizhi was there.
He was still torn when Huaizhi raised his hand and rubbed his hair.
The gesture was a bit intimate, but it was still within the realm of friends' contact, and no one else would think anything of it if they saw it. Only Jing Huan knew how heavy the rubbing was, and he could feel the warmth of Huaizhi's palm.
"Go back," said Huaizhi, "and I'll see you on winter break."
-
The next day, Jing Huan got on the bus home at eight o'clock in the morning.
His father said to hold a big grandpa's birthday banquet, but it is really big, all the relatives from all over the world rushed back, the garden put up a shed to avoid snow, the following full of seats, the chef alone invited five or six people.
Grandpa Jing has always loved Jing Huan, causing him to sit next to the birthday boy all day, and when he pulls out his cell phone he has to suffer a warning look from his parents.
It was eleven o'clock at night when I got home again after my birthday.
The first thing he does when he leaves his grandfather's house is to send a message to Huaizhi.
Jing Huan ๅ๏ผPlaying on the cell phone was sanctioned by my parents.
Jing Huan: Are you still there, brother?
To: In.
Jing Huan ๐ Yikes: what's going on?
[Video request to you]
Jing Huan was startled as Jing's mom turned her head from the passenger side, "Who else is looking for you this late?"
For his part, Jing's dad was holding the steering wheel and glancing at him in the rearview mirror.
Jing Huan said, "A senior."
Jing's mom said, "Oh, the one before? The one before?
Jing Huan nodded sheepishly, "Uh-huh."
"Well, hurry up and answer it then, it's so late, it could be an emergency."
"......"
Jing Huan wanted to go back and fight again, but was worried that Xiang Huaizhi would be asleep by then.
So he pulled his headphones out of his pocket and tapped answer.
To Huaizhi, who is wiping his hair, still a little wet under the chin, the camera is placed at a very tricky angle: "Just taking a shower."
Jing Huan tugged on the earphone cord, his voice a little low, "You just got back to your dorm room?"
Huaizhi let out a "hmm" and lowered his eyes to the screen.
Jing Huan's entire body was trapped in the darkness, and with the lack of light, he could only barely see his features.
He frowned, "Where are you?"
"In the car," Jing Huan cleared his throat, "with my parents."
To Huaizhi: "......"
Feeling Jing Ma's concerned gaze, Jing Huan pretended, "It's so late, what's your emergency, senior?"
He smiled at Huaizhi, his teeth neat and white, and Jing Huan's heart fluttered at the sight.
"Yes, the school is offline today, I don't know when it will be fixed." Say to Huaizhi, "Feed the children when you have time."
"Yes, of course." Jing Huan said in a serious manner, "You study hard and don't worry about these things."
Say to Huaizhi, "Then go back and talk?"
"Yeah," Jing Huan held the phone up to her face, "aren't you taking a break?"
"Seeing two, I suppose," guffawed Huaizhi, "not afraid of bumping your nose?"
"No fear, I have a high nose."
Jing's mom wondered, "What's with the nose chat?"
"Nope, random chatter." Jing Huan coughed, "So I'll go back and check for you and call you back?"
Say to Huaizhi, "Yes."
After hanging up the video, Lu Hang just came out of the bathroom.
"Who else are you talking to? Hurry up and blow-dry your hair, I'm freezing in line." He wrapped himself thickly, turned his head and said, "Say, are you really not going to come out for your birthday? A bar just opened on Anyang Street, I heard the atmosphere is especially good, don't you want to try?"
Huaizhi's hand was rubbing his hair, and he opened the calendar to look at it.
His birthday was over winter break, and his mom liked to have a good time, so he mostly spent it with his family. He hooked up the hair dryer and perfunctorily said, "Not going, I'll have to serve you if you get drunk."
The last few days of the semester, the school inexplicably cut off the network, telecom people came to see a few times, the result is that until the beginning of the junior exams, the network has not been repaired.
After the exam, I said goodbye to Huaizhi and Lu Hang and went home with my suitcase.
It's been a long time since I've used my home computer, and I have to wait twenty minutes just to update the Niners.
To Huaizhi, he packed his bags and took out his cell phone to return the message.
Toward: Just got home.
Jing Huan: [photo]
Jing Huan ๐ Yay: Shopping with my mom.
In the photo, Jing Huan is carrying many bags in his hand and taking pictures in the mirror of a clothing store. He is tall and handsome in a work jacket and jeans, with his cell phone covering half of his face.
To Huaizhi. Before I could type, a voice came in.
"I also secretly bought you some pairs of socks ...... you give me your address."
Lower your voice, like a thief.
I smiled at Huaizhi, the sleepy fatigue of the exam and the return trip was swept away.
Press the voice button to Huaizhi: "Pick a time and give it to me personally."
Jing Huan replied quickly, "When!"
"Sunday, are you free?" Huaizhi asked, as if he had picked the day at random.
It was quiet there for a moment.
Jing Huan ๅ๏ผSunday the family is going to a hot spring ......
Jing Huan: [bawling]
Jing Huan: [rolling on the floor]
Jing Huan: [snatches head off the ground]
Say to Huaizhi, "Next week then. There's no rush, winter vacation is so long."
Jing Huan was appeased by his last words.
When he looked up, his mom was paying the bill again and waved at him, "Huanhuan, come here."
Jing's mom is not an extravagant person, these big bags are all New Year's gifts that she is going to take to her cooperative partners and little sisters.
Jing Huan accompanied her for a day of shopping, only to feel more tired than the Games. After shopping, mother and son went to Pizza Hut downstairs in the mall for dinner.
After ordering, Jing Huan leaned back and focused on his cell phone.
Toward: when will you be back?
Jing Huan yah: I'll go back after dinner
Toward: I'll take your number for the daily.
Jing Huan ๐ Yikes: crying.
Jing Huan Yay: Brother is so nice.
He was just about to chat a bit more when he was annoyed by the @ of the discussion group.
It's Lu Wenhao, who's going to Face Off on Sunday and is now going nuts in the discussion group, dragging them through what he should wear that day, what date program he should set up, and what he should say.
Gao Zixiang: Fuck off, you woke me the fuck up while I was sleeping.
Jing Huan ๐ Yay: do your own thing, learn to walk independently, don't @ daddy.
Lu Wenhao : Okay, you guys are just jealous that I have sweet, sweet internet love.
Jing Huan snorted coldly.
I'm jealous my ass.
Father has it himself.
He was just about to make a snide remark when his cell phone suddenly perked up.
Qiu Feng: ............
Qiu Feng ๏ผHow come you didn't tell me that the number is not your own on ah ah ah ......
Jing Huan Inexplicable.
Jing Huan ๐ Yikes: why should I tell you ......
Jing Huan ๐ Yikes: what's going on?
Qiu Feng: I clicked on the wrong friend and sent you the words I wanted to send to my arena partner [smile].
Jing Huan ๐ Yikes: and then what?
Qiu Feng : Your husband thinks I'm asking you out again.
Jing Huan ๐ Yikes: ...... And then what?
Qiu Feng: And then I didn't.
Qiu Feng: [Photo]
Jing Huan clicked on the picture and saw Qiu Feng standing in the same spot with blood remaining in his body, and a rope binding the immortal under his feet was tightly wrapped around him.
Heart to Heart stood across from him with a bubbling box over his head.
[Current] Heart's Desire: Still asking my wife out privately?
