Tentative

"The results of the last monthly exam came out, and they were not satisfactory." Li Tuzhi stood on the podium, put his fingers together, and tapped the table from time to time as he said, "There is still one month before the final exam, this month Crucially..."

"It's not the college entrance examination."

"Hey, Baldy Li is like this."

"'Important'—" Someone imitated his tone and repeated it, which immediately made the neighbors laugh.

"Quiet! Everyone, be quiet!" Li Tuzhi naturally heard the movement below, and he continued patiently, "So the teacher plans to implement 'one-on-one', and strive to improve the average score of our class in the final exam. Go up a little more..."

Hearing this sentence, Shen Yizhuo, who had been immersed in writing the test paper, finally raised his head and cast his eyes on Li Tuzhi.Naturally, Qu Zhe behind him also followed his movements and turned his gaze to the podium.

The bottom No.1 of their class is Jiang Yuzhao, who handed in a blank paper in mathematics, physics, chemistry and English.Qu Zhe is the sixth from the bottom, and he will be included in this so-called "one gang, one" measure out of emotion and reason.

Holding the list in his hand, Li Tuzhi continued, "I hope the top ten students can take the initiative to help the last ten students, is that possible?"

No one spoke, and everyone looked at the so-called top ten.Tianzhong's performance rankings have always been very transparent, and the rankings of each class are hung on the blackboard at the back of the classroom, and students are never concerned about whether they will feel ashamed or tire of studying because of this.

Zhang Nana lowered her head, she has been studying very hard, always hovering between the fifth and fifteenth place.She performed very well in the last monthly exam and ranked No.5, but she didn't expect that this No.5 would force her to deal with the last students.The first thing she thought of was Jiang Yuzhao and Qu Zhe... Not to mention tutoring them in their studies, she was unwilling to talk to them a few more words.She was worried and looked at the ponytail. The other party understood her meaning in a second, shook her head helplessly, and mouthed: "I am 43..."

"If there is no objection, the teacher will read the name." Li Tuzhi continued, "Jiang Yuzhao, who would like to tutor classmate Jiang Yuzhao?"

The stage was silent.

"Is no one willing to tutor Jiang Yuzhao?"

"Teacher, Jiang Yuzhao handed in blank papers, tutoring is useless..." a boy sitting in the middle shrugged and shouted.His speech immediately got the response of many people: "That's right..."

"exactly……"

Qu Zhe turned his head to look at Jiang Yuzhao who was next to him, who was still sleeping on the table. What happened in the classroom seemed to have nothing to do with him, and he didn't wake him up at all.

"Then the teacher will arrange for Jiang Yuzhao," Li Tuzhi smiled slightly, "We are all classmates, so we should give full play to the spirit of helping each other, right...then..."

He looked at the list in his hand, scanned the names back and forth, and finally landed on Zhang Nana's head: "Zhang Nana."

There is no reason for him to choose so. As a young teacher, he thinks he understands the minds of the students better - boys of this age always want to save face in front of girls.If a beautiful girl like Zhang Nana goes to tutoring, even Jiang Yuzhao will have to pretend for the sake of face, so that she can learn a little bit.

Hearing the roll call, Zhang Nana bit her lower lip and looked at the books on the table, feeling extremely sad.

Li Tuzhi continued to order several more, and finally it was Qu Zhe's turn: "Qu Zhe...is there anyone willing to take the initiative to help Qu Zhe?"

"That must be Shen Yizhuo." A boy replied from below.As soon as these words came out, everyone hurriedly booed: "Qu Zhe would definitely like Shen Yizhuo to tutor him."

"That's right, Shen Yizhuo is the top ten in our grade, haha."

Looking at the smiling faces below, Li Tuzhi relaxed a lot.I thought it would be a bit difficult to implement this "one-to-one" measure - good students are always reluctant to deal with poor students, but he believes that there are no students who can't study well, only teachers who can't guide them.Now it seemed that everyone was very enthusiastic, so he smiled and said, "Why do you choose Shen Yizhuo?"

"Mr. Li, you don't know that Qu Zhe and Shen Yizhuo had a great time!"

"Correct!"

Shen Yizhuo looked indifferently at the booing people in front of him, but didn't speak.Li Tuzhi looked at him, and gently asked for his opinion: "How about it, Shen Yizhuo, would you like it?"

Being called by the teacher, Shen Yizhuo stood up and nodded, and said with a slight smile, "Okay."

"Okay then, let's continue..."

This boring selection activity took up half of the evening self-study, and the students were all very happy, especially the group of people whose grades were in the middle, and they could watch the crowd with peace of mind-this was much more interesting than the evening self-study.

After Li Tuzhi left the classroom contentedly, Shen Yizhuo suddenly turned around and said in a deep voice, "Give me your monthly exam scores."

"Ah..." Qu Zhe didn't take this matter to heart at all. He thought it was just to deal with the teacher. In private, everyone should learn by themselves, and those who don't want to learn don't.

"hurry up."

"well."

His monthly exam results were terrible, especially in mathematics, physics and chemistry. Although he did not hand in a blank paper, it was not much better than handing in a blank paper.He obediently took a piece of draft paper, wrote down the results, and handed it to Shen Yizhuo.

Looking at the numbers on the paper, Shen Yizhuo frowned, casually inserted it into the book, leaned back and said softly, "Come to my house on weekends to give you tuition, and bring all the books with you."

"...You don't have to worry about me..." As for learning, Qu Zhe had completely given up on studying as early as the third year of junior high school, "I can't learn..."

"Come as soon as I let you."

"it is good……"

If you don't read or write like Jiang Yuzhao, then it's no big deal if you don't get good grades.But like Qu Zhe, after reading desperately, he is still at the bottom of the crane...he will only feel that he is more pathetic.

After being found out twice about stalking, Qu Zhe still couldn't control his impulse, and would always watch Shen Yizhuo go home.But during this period, Shen Yizhuo neither played billiards nor exposed him.

Shen Yizhuo probably knew he was following him.Qu Zhe thought so more than once, but the other party didn't make any response to it, like a kind of acquiescence.If it was said that the purpose of stalking at the beginning was to dig out the secrets of the top students, then now, he just wanted to follow.To investigate the essence of this idea, he himself could not figure it out.

There was no evening self-study on Friday, and Qu Zhe obeyed his instructions and stuffed all the books and test papers of various subjects into his bag.The bag that had always been empty was stuffed to the brim, and it carried a lot of weight on his shoulders.He habitually followed Shen Yizhuo's figure with his eyes, carrying a heavy bag, keeping a distance that no one else could see, and followed behind.

As the days passed, the darkness grew faster and faster.

After Shen Yizhuo greeted a few fellow travelers, he stood at the traffic lights and waited.Seeing him stop, Qu Zhe also stopped, staring at the movement over there.The light at the crosswalk turned green, but Shen Yizhuo still had no intention of taking a step forward.Just when Qu Zhe was surprised, the other party suddenly turned around and looked at him.

Then he raised his head and waved at him.

Qu Zhe's face flushed slightly. Obviously, the other party knew about his stalking behavior all along, but he just acquiesced after debunking it twice.He walked over quickly, and Shen Yizhuo was holding the mobile phone, editing the text message with his fingers quickly, and asked casually: "Following me all day, is it fun?"

"..."

"I'm going to play billiards, so you don't have to follow." Shen Yizhuo said.

He suddenly remembered how Qu Zhe was drunk in the billiard room last time, and felt a little funny again.Qu Zhe nodded and said, "Okay..."

"Or do you want to go?" Pressing the send button, Shen Yizhuo put the phone in his pocket, turned to look at him and asked.Once eye contact, Qu Zhe became nervous for no reason.

When Shen Yizhuo is not angry, his eyes are not fierce, and most of the time, his expression is indifferent, showing no emotion.

There were passers-by coming and going, another green light came on, but Shen Yizhuo still didn't leave.

He just looked at Qu Zhe and waited patiently for his answer.

Qu Zhe's eyes fell on the ground, and the other party didn't speak any more, nor did he intend to move his legs, as if he had to answer.He raised his head cautiously, wanting to see Shen Yizhuo's expression at this moment, to see if he could guess the correct answer from the expression - as soon as he raised his head, his eyes met, Shen Yizhuo had no expression at all, his eyes were dark, reflecting his own blurred outline .

He must be wretched and ugly, the reflection in the other's eyes made him really feel the gap between himself and Shen Yizhuo.

He tried to break the silence between the two at this moment: "I..."

"Qu Zhe," Shen Yizhuo interrupted him before he could say a single word, "What on earth do you want to do?"

"I...I don't know..."

This answer seemed to have been expected by Shen Yizhuo, he sneered with the corners of his mouth curled up, and his eyes still did not move away from Qu Zhe.Because he lowered his head timidly, his eyebrows and eyes were exposed from the cover of his glasses, and Shen Yizhuo could see his eyelashes, which were long but not curled.With such eyelashes, there is always a kind of laziness that can't be woken up, just like that night, after Qu Zhe took off his glasses, his slightly squinted eyes were almost blocked by the projection of the eyelashes, and he looked extremely wronged.

... It makes people even think of insulting.

"I'll ask you one last time, do you like me?" Shen Yizhuo said in a deep voice.

Qu Zhe's heart trembled following these words.

"If yes, I allow you to follow me." He continued, "If not, don't bother me again. You talked nonsense in front of others before, and I humiliated you too. We are even. You know My business, I have your photo, just so that no one can threaten anyone."

"So, isn't it?"

Just like being forced to take off his pants that night and being forced to admit that he is gay... Even now Shen Yizhuo didn't do anything, just stood in front of him, stared at him expressionlessly, and questioned him without any emotion He, he was so nervous that he was about to suffocate.

This feeling is like standing on the edge of a cliff, facing an abyss, still ready to move, wanting to take this step.

Just like Kuafu is chasing the sun, he does not think what he can do, and there is only one dead end... and he can't suppress these thoughts.

"Yes..." His lips were extremely dry, and it was very difficult for him to say this word.

But Shen Yizhuo still asked dissatisfiedly: "What is it?"

"Yes, I like..."

"Who do you like?"

"Hi, I like you."

"say clearly."

"I like you..."

"Look up and speak clearly."

The body didn't feel like his own anymore, and the soul seemed to be standing on the side, watching how he raised his head coldly, like a stray dog ​​begging for food, reacting according to Shen Yizhuo's wishes.

Qu Zhe raised his head, the tip of his nose and cheeks were flushed by the cold wind, his eyes were also red, looking at Shen Yizhuo's face as if he was about to cry at any moment.

He's so good-looking, so charming, so tough, so...unable to extricate himself.

"I like you."

Qu Zhe sniffed, not wanting to be more embarrassing.

It's yearning, jealousy, wanting to get entangled with him, wanting to see him being spurned, wanting to expose his disguise, wanting him to be hated by others like himself... all the complex emotions are mixed together, Qu Zhe never knew how to define it.

At this moment, with Shen Yizhuo's questioning, he finally got the answer.
