The King's Game

Qi You called an express car on his mobile phone, and the owner of the car arrived shortly after. Qi You pulled Jiang Nan into the back seat and gave a place name at the same time.

"Do you still remember where I live?" Jiang Nan was a little surprised, or more surprised.

Qi You glanced at him, and said solemnly: "Don't underestimate Xueba's memory."

In fact, Qi You would not deliberately remember the unimportant things. Thinking about it now, he was already very interested in Jiang Nan when he was in the mall, otherwise how could he subconsciously remember the address of the other party?

The two sat quietly in the car for a while, speechless, Jiang Nan was still immersed in the suspected confession conversation in the restaurant not long ago, Qi You was thinking about when did he start to have unusual feelings for this boy, suddenly I heard the driver ask: "You guys just finished the college entrance examination and came here to celebrate?"

"Master, you have sharp eyes." Qi You said with a smile.

Hearing that he had guessed right, the driver became more confident when he spoke: "Hey, at your age, you look like college entrance examination candidates, and there are a lot of entertainment industries here. Isn't this here to celebrate? How did you pass the exam? like?"

Qi You smiled, turned his head and approached Jiang Nan: "I want to ask you, how did you do in the exam?"

Jiang Nan felt the heat exhaled by the other party, and his face began to burn, but he still took out the extra thinking ability to think about this question seriously, and said honestly: "I don't know, it's about the same as usual."

"Then you should be able to make a copy." Qi Youyou nodded and said.

"One, one book?" Jiang Nan blinked and repeated in disbelief.

One, he never thought about it.

"Why, don't you have confidence in yourself or don't trust my judgment?"

Jiang Nan lowered his head: "Of course I believe you, but... one book is still not enough..."

Qi You laughed: "The score hasn't come down yet, so I can't say it here."

Jiang Nan also muttered: "You also said that the score hasn't come down yet, so why do you say I can do it?"

"Hey? Do you still dare to talk back?" Qi You pretended to want to fix him.

"The relationship between you classmates is really good." The driver master sighed in front of him.

"Isn't it?" Qi You looked at Jiang Nan with a half-smile, and Jiang Nan turned his red face and looked out the window.

As he was silently reminiscing about what happened tonight, the sweet joy in Jiang Nan's heart never stopped. Suddenly he felt the warmth between his fingers. She looked out the window with a smile, but her fingers were already wrapped around his.

Jiang Nan felt warm in his heart, and felt that it would be good if time stayed at this moment.

The car stopped downstairs at Jiang Nan's aunt's house. Before Jiang Nan got off the car, Qi You said to him: "Go back and contact us on WeChat."

Jiang Nan pursed his lips and smiled, and nodded seriously.

Qi You said without hesitation: "Remember to miss me."

Jiang Nan opened his eyes wide, his flushed cheeks were hidden in the night, and he nodded slightly imperceptibly.

It wasn't until Jiang Nan walked into the building that Qi You asked the driver to start the car again.

This time until Qi You was sent home, the driver uncle didn't say anything, probably because he was wondering what the relationship between these two little boys was all the way.

------

On the day when the scores came out, Qi You was still eating lobsters from relatives around the dining table with his parents. The newly hired nanny was very good at making this. It tasted better than the outside ones but was healthier. The other party finished it because of something at home. Leaving early, Qi's mother specially gave the other party a copy for her to take back for the child to eat.

When he was about to finish eating, Father Qi looked at the food with great relish and Qi You suddenly asked, "Did you forget?"

Qi You looked blank: "What?"

Mother Qi also looked bewildered.

Blue veins popped out on Father Qi's forehead: "Don't pretend to me, I'm so easy to fool?"

"No, Dad, what the hell are you talking about?"

"You can forget about checking scores, what are you doing with your memory?"

"Haha, dear son, remember to cook tomorrow." Qi's mother swept away the daze just now, and looked at Qi You with a smile.

Qi You: "Dad, isn't the company very busy recently? It's rare for you to pay attention to such small things..."

Father Qi glanced at the naive two people speechlessly, and said, "Your mother and I were still discussing about your score yesterday, how could we have forgotten it today? And you, are you naive or not? You need to help cook a dish." Your mother is so lazy by gambling."

"Mom! You're not fair!" Qi You protested.

"Okay, okay, so much nonsense, hurry up and check your grades!" Father Qi frowned, and the partiality that was visible to the naked eye was almost indignant.

Qi You's test this time was no different than usual, he neither failed nor performed exceptionally well, but his score was high enough, and it seemed possible that he could enter the highest school in city b.

Although she has always been confident in her son, Mother Qi still grinned when she saw the result, "Hey, do you think our son will be the provincial champion this time?"

Qi You said: "It is estimated that Xuan, there must be higher exams."

He usually took the third highest joint mock exam with his school.

"That's pretty good too." Father Qi also showed a rare smile: "I'll take you abroad this summer vacation."

Qi You smiled: "Thank you Dad." But another thing came to mind.

Jiang Nan's side was also very lively at the moment, the uncle's family gathered around the table, and even Lin Bin, who said he was not interested at all, came over curiously.

Jiang Nan stared blankly at the number 488 displayed on the computer, his heart pounding.

"Xiao Nan did well in the exam. This score should be able to get a good second grade." The aunt's eyes were full of surprise. After all, Jiang Nan was not good at studying since he was a child, and such a score was beyond their expectations.

Getting into a slightly better university was like a dream for Jiang Nan before he met Qi You, but after listening to Qi You's serious analysis last time, Jiang Nan even felt that he might be able to do better in the exam, he remembered When I wrote the question, I had a few careless places, and I still regret it a little.

But the feeling of surprise is still everywhere.

Jiang Nan went out for a big meal with the Lin family that day. For the first time at the dinner table, he mustered up the courage to express his gratitude and touch to his uncle, aunt, cousin and even his cousin in a sincere and direct manner. It made Liu Xiaohua's eyes turn red.

"Xiao Nan, you will be promising in the future. If your parents knew, they would also..." Liu Xiaohua realized something before he finished speaking, and stopped talking.

Jiang Nan's expression froze imperceptibly, and soon he said as if nothing happened: "It's okay, if they know, they must be happy for me."

When lying on the bed that night, Jiang Nan stared blankly at the moon outside the window, unable to fall asleep.

In the past year, Jiang Nan seems to have completely overcome the pain of his parents leaving early. In fact, he just buried those emotions deep in the corner of his heart, and he dared not touch them easily. But when the scores came down today, He inevitably thought of the two of them again.

Think how happy they will be when they know this day.

In the past, Jiang Nan could not see his parents a few times a day, let alone go out to eat delicious food or go to the playground like children of the same age. They were always busy, and they looked tired when they came home. Not many, but Jiang Nan knows that they are also doing their best to give Jiang Nan a home that makes people feel at ease.

They were the only ones my young self could rely on.

Jiang Nan always remembered the hopeful eyes they looked at him, the broad shoulders of his father, and the time when he rode on each other's shoulders while his mother watched with a smile on her side.

Recalling the time when he knew they were gone and would never come back, Jiang Nan felt the feeling of a bolt from the blue for the first time in his life.

This night, it seemed that all the emotions had been turned out, Jiang Nan hugged the quilt tightly, tears bursting out of his eyes uncontrollably.

Jiang Nan suddenly felt the phone on the bedside vibrate. He turned on the phone and saw that it was a WeChat message from Qi You.

"How many points did you score?"

Jiang Nan's eyes were a bit blurred by the short five words. Jiang Nan blinked, forced tears back into his eyes, and seriously reported his score to the other party.

Soon there will be back.

“Nan Nan is awesome!”

The nasty tone of the other party talking to a child successfully made Jiang Nan smile through his tears. He reached out and wiped his tears, and typed the four words "You are so childish" on the mobile phone. He hesitated for a moment before sending them out, and then deleted the four words Yes, I sent a smug little man with his hips in the past.

Qi You returned him with a "smelly shameless" expression, obviously it was he who said "Nan Nan is awesome" just now.

Jiang Nan asked: "What about you?"

Qi You also sent over his own score, Jiang Nan saw that the other party had the same high score as usual, a happy smile appeared on his face, and sent him a festive villain of the same style as the one with akimbo, and said silently in his heart Go back and post more emoticons.

The two chatted back and forth for a few words, and Qi You seemed to have sensed Jiang Nan's strange mood, and kept replying patiently, teasing him from time to time.

"Let's go out to play after filling out the voluntary application?" Qi You asked.

When Jiang Nan saw this sentence, his eyes lit up.

Going out with Qi You?

No, now that they know each other's intentions, it shouldn't be called just playing, it should be called a date, right?

The word "dating" went through Jiang Nan's mind. He didn't even realize that there was a happy smile on his face. The tears had already evaporated in the midsummer night, and the loss and depression not long ago were swept away.
