Rolls Royce

"That classmate of yours is really handsome." Fu Lili was stirring the juice in the glass. When she said this, one corner of her mouth was raised while the other was flat, as if she was smiling, but it was a bit weird .

Tan Xianghui pinched two French fries, dipped them in ketchup, and before putting them into his mouth, he answered casually: "You are talking about He Yinrong?"

"Hmm." Fu Lili twitched her slender eyebrows, took a sip of the juice, and reached out to the French fries.

"You like him?" he asked casually.

"Haha, no way."

It really doesn't look like it is, but this is the first time she is interested in his classmates, so he is also interested in asking: "You keep saying that he is handsome."

"You don't have to like being handsome... besides, I'm not from the Appearance Association." As she spoke, Fu Lili looked up at him with a slight smile, and asked, "It's you boys, although you don't say that, but Actually, you all like pretty and cute girls, right?"

Tan Xianghui seemed to take this counterattacking joke seriously, lowered his eyes, thought about it carefully, and then replied: "Not necessarily." After all, Fu Lili is such a girl, and he doesn't treat her like a man or a woman. feelings between.

In line with his earnestness, Fu Lili also pretended to have suddenly realized, nodded exaggeratedly, and said, "That's right, boys can still like handsome boys."

"...What are you talking about?" Such a topic made Tan Xianghui a little uneasy.Because he couldn't help thinking of Deng Kai - he hadn't told Fu Lili about him yet.All she knew was that one of his partners during the training period of the school team jumped to his death for some reason.And she knew nothing about the truth behind this so-called "news".

"To be honest, there's nothing wrong with that." Fu Lili put away her smile, and her hands, which were placed randomly on the table, were unconsciously clasped together and placed in front of her body.Although she had rehearsed it in her heart many times, when she really wanted to say it, she would inevitably be a little nervous: "Xiang Hui, you really dislike this... do boys like boys?"

Tan Xianghui was taken aback.He really didn't expect that Fu Lili would ask such a question immediately after.

"Yes? Or not?" Given two options, Fu Lili tilted her head, her big eyes were always watching Tan Xianghui's expression, trying to find traces of his true emotions - she had watched two seasons of "Lietome" Although the understanding of micro-expressions is not to the level of proficiency, the basic elements can still be found.For example, now, Tan Xianghui's eyes suddenly drifted to the lower right corner, which seems to be... Guilt?

"I don't dislike it, but I don't like it either." He was always honest with Fu Lili's questions.And this answer made her breathe a sigh of relief, she lowered her head and bit the straw, and Fu Lili drank all the juice in the glass in one gulp.

"If you fall in love with someone, you must tell me." After a while of silence, Fu Lili said suddenly.

"If there is... I will definitely talk about it." Tan Xianghui ate two more French fries, and while chewing, he said vaguely: "Okay, let's change the subject." Fu Lili knew that he was a little uncomfortable, and secretly Smiling, he followed his lead and chatted about today's game... She really knew Tan Xianghui, how could he fall in love with someone of the same sex?That He Yinrong, I'm afraid he got the wrong partner. If she finds out that he continues to approach Tan Xianghui even though he knows that he "has a girlfriend", she will really have to do something.

After the school sports meeting, the whole second grade held a meeting, the theme of which was mobilization for the exam.The class teacher ignited a very high fighting spirit again, and for the next three weeks, he would toss the class meeting every Friday, repeating the importance of the exam dozens of times.After being brainwashed so intensely, most of the students also became motivated, and the voices of reading in the morning became especially louder every day.However, He Yinrong was not in this atmosphere at all. He still arrived at school on time, and then fell asleep on the table on time.His decadence was really out of tune with the whole class, even Tan Xianghui felt that this state was not very good, facing He Yinrong's sleepy eyes, he almost wanted to say words of dissuasion several times, but he held back.He was never a nosy person.

For the last relay race, he felt somewhat grateful to He Yinrong.If He Yinrong hadn't mentioned this matter, he would not have considered participating in the competition, let alone thought that after winning the championship, the students' attitude towards him would change so much.Since the end of the summer vacation, after joining this class, Tan Xianghui has never felt in a group. He doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't like to listen to others talking too much. The only ones who have communicated with him are the few people sitting next to him. up.After the game, more and more people came to talk to him, especially the few boys in the class who like basketball. Now they are familiar with him and will go to the basketball court to play with him shoulder to shoulder after class.Divided into two groups of seven or eight people, fighting against each other is much more tiring than practicing against each other, but Tan Xianghui still feels happy—yes, happy.He has only now tasted the bunch of grapes that his mother put in his palm. It is indeed a happy thing to be able to talk about his needs in his heart.He has already begun to wonder if his previous self was so stubborn and old-fashioned that now thinking about it, he would feel a little childish.It was only a few years later that he realized that adolescence is such a process of self-affirmation and then denial. Everyone has been stubborn and childish, but in the end, the group of playmates at the beginning have grown into decent adults.

Except Deng Kai who has gone to another world.

But now, Tan Xianghui, who is only 17 years old, has never thought about what he will be like in a few years.What he cares about now is only a few sloppy things, such as the monthly exam, such as the NBA game broadcast on the sports channel on Saturday morning, such as going to Fu Lili's school to see her once at the end of the month, such as his heart The person who felt grateful was sleeping soundly on the seat next to him, while on the podium, the chemistry teacher was casting warning eyes at the last row from time to time.Tan Xianghui thought about it and decided to wake He Yinrong up.In order to avoid the teacher's sight, Tan Xianghui first raised his foot and kicked He Yinrong's stool, but with little effect. He Yinrong's eyebrows only moved slightly, but there was no sign of waking up.Sighing in his heart, Tan Xianghui had no choice but to take advantage of the time when the teacher turned his head to write on the blackboard, stretched out his left hand, and patted He Yinrong on the shoulder, which finally woke him up.He Yinrong straightened up in a little panic, flipped through the textbook that was just under his arm, and asked Tan Xianghui in a low voice: "What did the teacher say?"

Tan Xianghui told him the page number, and then turned his eyes back to the podium—the chemistry teacher obviously noticed that He Yinrong had woken up, and was still turning the pages of the book, as if he was about to start listening to the lecture, and his eyes lost the sternness just now.This realization made Tan Xianghui feel relieved, and turning the carbon pen in his hand, he would continue to attend the lecture.

After finishing the afternoon classes, several boys invited Tan Xianghui to play again. This time, he didn't pack his schoolbag immediately to keep up with them, but explained to them: "I still have something to do, you go first, I'll go to the stadium to meet you in 10 minutes." The boys nodded, hugged the basketball, and walked out of the classroom with a smile.While arranging the books on the table, Tan Xianghui turned his head and asked He Yinrong, who was in a daze, "Let's play together?"

"Play ball?" He Yinrong was a little confused by this proposal.He had told Tan Xianghui earlier that he had congenital heart disease and could not exercise vigorously. Did he forget it as soon as he turned his head?Tan Xianghui saw what he was thinking, and added: "Just don't fight for too long."

"It's not a matter of time, it's mainly because I can't do this kind of confrontational sports." He Yinrong said, making a choking motion: "I won't be able to breathe."

"Then, how about jogging?" This kind of exercise intensity should be bearable.

"Jogging is fine...but wait a minute." Only then did He Yinrong feel that something was wrong with Tan Xianghui's enthusiasm, and asked suspiciously, "Why are you asking me this? Are you asking me to go for a run?"

Tan Xianghui nodded.

If Fu Lili knew, Tan Xianghui asked her, "How should I thank someone who has helped me?" If the object of this question was He Yinrong, she would never take "You just find a way to repay him and treat him to eat." A meal or going out to play" responded to him.Tan Xianghui himself didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but in He Yinrong's ears, he only felt that he was hallucinating... After the school sports meeting, Tan Xianghui gradually had more interactions with his classmates. It took more time, and he saw all these changes, and he didn't think there was anything strange about them.Tan Xianghui has become extroverted, which is of course a good thing, and he is happy to see it succeed.But when Tan Xianghui offered him such an invitation that he had never had before, he just felt...abnormal.He and Tan Xianghui's brain circuits are completely different. He doesn't feel that he has done Tan Xianghui any favors, and he doesn't think about that now, so facing this sudden "run appointment", He Yinrong panicked and could only stare blankly. Looking at Tan Xianghui, he couldn't answer.Tan Xianghui only regarded him as acquiescing, and then said: "After the evening self-study, let's go to the playground and run...for eight laps. I'm going to play ball first." Then, regardless of He Yinrong's expression, he put on his schoolbag and walked out classroom.

Who said that she would agree to run with him... Also, why did she have to run eight laps!He Yinrong only felt broken, but he couldn't ask Tan Xianghui to clarify.He slumped down on the table, turned his face sideways, and outside the window was the reddish purple sunset, which was very similar to some days before.
