The King's Game

Qi You came home, went into the room after dinner, and planned to finish the homework first, but when he opened his schoolbag, he saw the notebook for the first time.

The book is thin, and the milky white cover is decorated with black lines, which is very ordinary.

Qi You hesitated for a moment and took it out together with the book. After opening it, there were lines of pleasing words printed in front of his eyes. The owner of the notes was obviously very careful. Everything the teacher said in class was written down in detail, but it seemed Some couldn't distinguish the key points, and many knowledge points that were not very helpful for the exam were also listed in detail. Qi You flipped through the pages until the word "Qi You" came into view throughout the film.

His original intention for taking the book away was to prevent those people from finding out the owner of the book in that way. It has nothing to do with who the other party is. It’s hard to say whether these names are really because I like him. If it’s a girl in the class or another class, the students may make fun of it, but if the other party is really Jiang Nan, what will happen to the other party? I dare not even think about treating him like this.

Qi You thought of Jiang Nan's attitude today, as well as the other party's books scattered all over the place. In fact, he was already faintly sure of the ownership of this book. While he was relieved that he had snatched the book back in advance, the feeling in his heart There are also subtleties.

Maybe Jiang Nan just happened to see himself sitting in the front row and wrote it when he was bored, or he thought his name was good so he planned to write it to practice calligraphy.

But if the other party really likes him...Qi You suddenly recalled the phrase "If you really like him, why would you be willing to talk to him like that" whispered by the other party in his mind that evening, he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to be You may feel disgusted or uncomfortable because the other party is a boy, but you are just a little surprised.

However, although he thought Jiang Nan was cute and wanted to be close to him before, he never thought about it. Anyway, the other party is also a boy.

By the way, if the other party is a girl, I might have... Stop it, Qi You feels that her thoughts are very dangerous.

"Xiao You, can I come in?" There was a sudden knock on the door of the room, which interrupted Qi You's thoughts. He subconsciously stuffed the notebook under other books, and while he spurned his inexplicable behavior, he answered vaguely. With a sound.

Mother Qi came in with a bowl of fruit: "Have some fruit? Just cut it."

Qi You didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he always felt that the other party looked at him with deep meaning.

He thanked him, took the fruit and placed it beside the desk. As expected, his mother did not go out immediately, but looked at his desk: "I heard something just now? What are you looking at? It can't be a love letter from a girl." Bar?"

Only then did Qi You realize that he hadn't even opened his book yet, and he sighed inwardly with his mother's piercing eyes, and said, "No way, I was just thinking about something before, and I just took out all my things just now."

Qi's mother was skeptical, and instead of walking out of the room under Qi You's expectant gaze, she asked, "You're at school, don't you have any girls who confess to you? Don't you have any girls you like?"

"Mom...why are you gossiping like this? I haven't thought about it." Qi You said helplessly.

Mother Qi: "Don't be burdened! Mom has no other intentions, but our son is so handsome and charming. Mom just wants to know how many people in your class like you. In fact, with your temperament, even the puppy love mom will believe you It won't affect your studies, it's okay."

"...Mom, I really haven't thought about this."

Then he looked at his mother, turned and left as if he was a little disappointed.

Qi You twitched the corners of his mouth, turned around and opened the homework book.Being disturbed by Qi's mother, he didn't have the time to think deeply about whether it was Jiang Nan's problem. It doesn't make sense to think about it now, so let's finish the homework in front of him first.

------

When collecting the Chinese homework for the whole class in the morning self-study the next day, Qi You paid attention to everyone's handwriting, but at the end he couldn't find any that matched completely. He glanced at the back row of the classroom, and Jiang Nan hadn't come yet.

The original suspicion turned into worry. After all, it was the first time that the other party was late after coming to school for so many days.

The bell for early self-study get out of class rang, Qi You picked up a thick stack of Chinese homework, walked out of the classroom, and saw Jiang Nan running over panting, the other party saw Qi You, his expression was flustered, and there was a look of disbelief on his face. Normal flush.

Qi You instinctively stretched out a hand to touch the other person's forehead, remembering his guess yesterday, he held back, cleared his throat and said, "Your Chinese homework."

Jiang Nan quickly took off his schoolbag, rummaged through it carefully with his head down, took out the homework book and handed it to Qi You cautiously, not daring to look at the other party during the process.

While staring at the other person's expression, Qi You put his notebook on the top of the homework book, then lowered his head to look at the handwriting on the cover of the notebook.

When I didn't think about it, I wouldn't think it wrong. Now I have doubts, but everything is clear again.

The delicate and neat font really belongs to Jiang Nan.

Almost instantly, Qi You confirmed two things.

The book is Jiang Nan's.Jiang Nan likes him.

With this realization, Qi You suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He hadn't experienced such emotions in thousands of years, and Qi You himself didn't realize that there was anything wrong with him, at most he just didn't get used to it.

But if Mother Qi was here, she would hold her face and scream in surprise—my son would be embarrassed!

Jiang Nan kept his head down all the time, and naturally he didn't notice Qi You's unnaturalness for a moment. He just waited for Qi You to walk past him, but the other party didn't leave, so he just stood there.

The squad leader is indeed the squad leader, and the brief discomfort soon passed. He cleared his throat again: "Are you sick?"

Jiang Nan's eyes flickered, but he still didn't look at him: "Ah... yes, there is a little bit."

"...Have you taken your medicine yet?"

"……have eaten."

"Ah That's good."

"..."

"If you still feel uncomfortable, go to the infirmary to have a look." Qi You finally said something nutritious and natural to him. After he finished speaking, he didn't realize that he was relieved. Seeing Jiang Nan's face flushed Nodding, I don't know if the other party is sick or shy, his eyes are bright, and he seems to be smiling happily, seeing that he is as cute as ever in Qi You's eyes, Qi You suddenly feels really relaxed.

He thought, for the time being, he can't figure out what kind of attitude he should have towards Jiang Nan's feelings, but at least now, he doesn't reject such feelings, and he is willing to get along with the other party. , you don't have to deliberately ponder whether the other party has deep meaning, and you don't have to worry about the other party thinking about yourself in private. It's a relaxed and pure feeling.

Because he knew the other party's innocence, in other words, Jiang Nan was clear and transparent in his eyes.

Before thoroughly thinking about his own mind and thinking of a solution to everything, Qi You decided to pretend that he didn't find out about this matter, and he would always help the other party keep this secret.
