"Welcome." Xie Lian opened the door completely, then went to find a pair of slippers on the shoe rack, "Put these on."

Feng Ruzi's voice came from the bedroom, "Xiao Lian, who is outside?"

"Jiang is here too. You are busy with your work, and I will take care of you."

"Hello, Auntie!" Jiang Ye called out.He changed his shoes two or three times, clutching the rolled test paper, and followed Xie Lian into the bedroom.

Walking to the desk, Xie Lian turned the chair and sat down, "What question?"

Jiang also unfolded the paper, turned it over and folded it along the middle seam, then put the A4-sized paper in front of him, poked a question, and said, "This."

"Okay." Xie Lian took out a pen from the pencil case, and pointed to the bedside with the end of the pen, "Sit down for a while."

Jiang also touched the edge of the bed and sat down, secretly glanced at Xie Lian's back with his eyes, thinking in his heart that Xie Lian's attitude towards him seemed to have changed a little bit, with less sharpness and more softness.But the reason for this change is unknown. Xie Lian said that he had misunderstood him before, so what was the misunderstanding?When was the misunderstanding resolved?He had too many questions, and he was full of doubts and didn't know where to ask them, but the most important of them was——

"Xie Lian," Jiang Ye said abruptly, "Why did you kiss me?"

It was waiting here.

The handwriting under the pen accidentally dragged out a long tail, Xie Lian dropped the pen, and asked lazily: "Hmm...that's why you came here."

"No, I said I would ask two questions, and these two won't take up much of your time."

Jiang Ye was also worried.Such a reckless rush might not give him an answer. Xie Lian kept silent when he was in the car, so would he tell him now?But he couldn't take care of that much anymore, when he was thinking on his chin upstairs, the chemistry problem that stumped him became an opportunity, urging him to come and give it a try.

"Xie Lian," Jiang Ye called him again, in a hurried and bewildered tone, "Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, and you have said that you don't hate me, can you tell me why? Why did you—"

Xie Lian is even more at a loss than him now.

How did he say?

Say I'm jealous, because I don't like to see you get so close to Feng Chu, and when I hold you, I find that your damn lips are so beautiful. I have nothing else to do but kiss?

are you crazy.

After finally conveying his apology, he forced Jiang to accept that he did not have any malice. The relationship between the two seemed to be easing up. How could he tell the truth at a time like this.

The timing was terrible.If he confesses that he likes him at this time, I'm afraid Jiang Ye really won't talk to him anymore in the future.

He didn't expect that Jiang would persist in asking questions like this. The matter was already like this, and he couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore.If you keep avoiding it, I'm afraid that the knot in Jiang Ye's heart will never be solved, so how can the two of them talk about going further.

So I can only give Jiang Ye an answer.

"Because," Xie Lian held his forehead, and after a long time finally spoke, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, "We broke up that day, and my emotions..."

False words are deception, and truth is destruction. The result of choosing the best is to kill the truth at this moment and fabricate a so-called "answer".

Jiang also heard this, and soon showed an expression of enlightenment.Xie Lian didn't actually say much, but it was enough for him to complete all the stories in his mind.

It doesn't matter if it's true or not, the answer is what makes Jiang Ye let down his guard.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault that I keep asking you to remind you of sad things..." Jiang Ye felt soft-hearted, and started to blame himself after hearing this.He also figured it out, oh, it doesn't matter if you kiss, since they are all men anyway.

Jiang also walked over with an apologetic expression, and gently patted Xie Lian on the back, "I really didn't expect...well, that, don't be sad, you are so handsome, and you are so good at studying, sure Can meet better."

Xie Lian's expression was extremely ugly.He didn't understand, after saying this, Jiang clearly believed it, but why his heart hurts as if he had been stabbed.It's like I wanted to get closer, but in the end I found that I was farther away.He took a deep breath, grabbed the test paper and forced himself to divert his attention, "Okay, let's do this question for you first."

"Yeah." Jiang also obediently ran to the side and sat down, "Then I won't bother you."

He propped his hands on the edge of the bed, his calf dangling in the air, glanced at Xie Lian from time to time, and then sighed softly.

After a while, Xie Lian turned the chair to face him, bent his elbows on his thighs, leaned over with the test paper in his hand, "I'll tell you."

Xie Lian was good at doing questions, and even speaking about them, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people pestering him every day at school to explain.His thinking is clear and the steps are closely connected. After throwing the beginning to you, he will lead you down step by step until the person who has the problem figured it out by himself.

It was the first time for Jiang Ye to listen to his lecture. At first, he stared at the topic without thinking, but with Xie Lian's patient guidance, he understood it all in a short time.

"You are amazing, you can speak better than our teacher!"

Xie Lian asked: "Which teacher is it from the school or the make-up class?"

Jiang Ye was so excited just now, but now he has been put into a dead end, and he really doesn't know who to offend.

Seeing Jiang Ye's helpless little face, Xie Lian snorted softly, "I'm kidding you."

"Teasing me again." Jiang also gave him a fake look.

"However," Xie Lian held the pen and turned it around, seemingly unintentionally asked: "Since my level is not bad, should you consider not going to tutoring, I will teach you."

Of course Jiang was moved.The room for make-up classes is crowded and stuffy, which is incomparable with this place.What's more, now that the two have settled their suspicions, they don't have any worries when they are together with Xie Lian.

only……

"It's too late for you. Two hours a week, how much can you learn with this time, don't waste it on me."

Xie Lian glanced at him with a smile, "On Sunday afternoon, I spend two hours playing PS4 and two hours playing Switch, and after that I will watch videos and check my phone."

Jiang didn't believe it either, "How do you have so much free time?"

"You can't run continuously seven days a week. Who can stand it if you keep studying under high pressure."

"Then you rest too much..."

"—So," Xie Lian seemed to be waiting for this sentence, "You can also supervise me while you stay here. Naturally, I can't play while teaching you."

Jiang was also a little moved by the persuasion, biting his finger, his face full of hesitation.

Jiang Ye couldn't hide anything from his face, Xie Lian could tell from his expression that the matter was settled, and when he saw it, he accepted it and said, "Don't worry, you go home and think about it slowly."

"Okay." Jiang nodded seriously, "I will think about it carefully."

After seeing Jiang Ye off, Xie Lian stomped back to the bedroom.Walking to the bed, he suddenly felt as if his limbs had been pulled from strength, and he closed his eyes and fell on his back on the mattress.

There still seemed to be traces of Jiang Ye in the air, Xie Lian raised his hand, not knowing exactly what he wanted to touch.

He thought, the previous battle was a disastrous defeat, and now he finally regained his victory.

Gathering his five fingers together, he grasped it in the air.

— Fortunately, it is not too late.
