Self-cultivation of spare tire

When I returned to the window again, the basketball that had been on the shelf for a long time was gone.

"Hey, isn't that a coincidence, I just bought it for a kid." The boss sat with his legs crossed under the fan, and said with a smile, "You boy, I don't know if I look here every day or so? It's a pity, That ball is the last one, just now the young couple bought it as a birthday present for the child."

Unable to tell what was going on in his heart, Chen Zhu thanked him politely and walked out of the shop.

Bought it, birthday present... That kid, you must be very happy.

The boy's lips were pursed into a line, and his face was sullen, showing no trace of loss.

Very good, Chen Zhu thought, don't worry about it.

When I got home, I went through the questions and test papers step by step, cooking and cleaning.

The summer night wind made people extremely hot and dry, so Chen Zhu removed the old fan leaves, washed them one by one, and sprayed some toilet water on them.

The old fan creaked and blew slowly on Chen Zhu's face with a sense of coolness.

Alone at home, Chen Zhu was shirtless, sitting on a small bench, reciting English model essays in front of an old fan.

"Dear ming ming, i heard that..."

"bwi shoots for you..."

"Wrong." The man's low and mellow pronunciation gently brushed against the boy's ears, "Here, shoot stoyou with to——bwi."

Chen Zhu closed his eyes, listening to the creaking of the old fan, but fell into Xu Lanting's tender and affectionate magic barrier.

The bitter smell of tobacco, the damp and dark room, the low, intermittent reciting.

"wearemadeonewithwhatwetouchandcolore...Ah..." The man's voice was soft and hoarse, hidden in the creaking of the bed boards, mysteriously, intoxicated, and secretly hooking people, sinking into this humid summer night.

"Swheart, take it easy, um..."

Chen Zhu opened his eyes, raised his hand and adjusted the wind to the maximum.

The hot air hit his warm eyelids.After calming down, Chen Zhu saw clearly the cruelty under Xu Lanting's gentle appearance.

The man smiled, his brows and eyes were so deep and beautiful, but his eyes were full of sarcasm.

"Success, as you like." He raised his hand and looked at the time casually, "I have something else to do, so I won't be with you today. Let's go and take you home."

Chen Zhu didn't want his "alms", so Xu Lanting didn't want his "companion".

After all, there are as many people rushing to accompany Xu Lanting as crucian carp crossing the river.Obedient, sensible, enthusiastic, will come to things.

Anyway, there will be no one who is so ignorant and stubborn like him, who will not make the eldest son happy with a smiling face.

Chen Zhu took a deep breath and began to recite English words silently in his heart.

"qui, quily"

He recited words until late at night, and Chen Zhu didn't get up to take a shower until he had memorized all three thousand words in his heart.

He is not born smart, what others see as easy to get, is just continuous hard work day and night.

The bathroom is very small. For a person who is about 1.8 meters tall, he has to curl up to barely stand under the shower.

Chen Zhu bowed his back slightly, the bones on his back were faintly visible.His figure is thin, especially at the age of growing body, the sense of bone on his body is more obvious.

He lowered his head, letting the water splash on his face.In this way, those so-called hypocritical heartaches and grievances can be hidden under the drops of water, pretending not to be tears, and slowly flow to the feet and flow into corners that no one cares about.

When she raised her hand to wipe her face, the butterfly bones at the shoulder blades fluttered slightly, like a pair of young wings that haven't fully grown yet.

Young, with nothing, and without wings to cover, he can only bow down and shrink in the world of one inch square, competing with himself.

Even the sound of crying had to be carefully hidden in order to barely maintain that crumbling self-esteem.

Fortunately, Chen Zhu seldom uses his mobile phone.Therefore, he doesn't have to wait for Xu Lanting's message all night; he doesn't have to watch the excitement in his circle of friends and lose sleep;

He lay on his back on the narrow bed, closed his eyes, and fell into a moment of tranquility.

Very good, Chen Zhu closed his eyes and thought, maybe Xu Lanting will be "bought" by someone suddenly one day.

Then, it would be good for him to stand outside the window and look at it for a while, just for a while.

Under the sun, the basketball drew a beautiful arc, briefly covering the clouds and the sun, and with a bang, it entered the frame neatly.

Amidst the cheers, the teams that won the final hugged excitedly and shouted the slogan of victory.

I don't know who shouted "Brother Chen, Niubi!"

Chen Zhu was surrounded by everyone, surrounded in the center.

Chen Zhu had an ominous premonition, and sure enough, that kid Fang Xu was the first to come up and grab his arm, and then several PE students also swarmed up.

The sound of the wind passed through the ears quickly, Chen Zhu raised his head and saw the blue sky.

He was thrown high, and at the moment when the center of gravity fell, he was firmly caught by countless hands.

Such a stimulating experience made Chen Zhu flustered, but also a kind of pleasure.

At the moment when he was infinitely close to the sky, Chen Zhu finally showed a hearty smile.

Fang Xu caught him, and hugged Chen Zhu for a few more laps, "Brother Chen, why are you so awesome! Dude, from today onwards, I, Fang Xu, will recognize you as my big brother haha!"

Everyone was making a fuss, and they all began to call Chen Zhu Big Brother.If they weren't still wearing school uniforms, Chen Zhu would have thought he had fallen into some bandit's den.

"Let's go, big brother! Let me treat you to a meal, little brother!" Fang Xu hooked Chen Zhu's shoulders, waved his hands, and responded, "Go, let me treat you today, and the 'No. [-] Scholar BBQ' at the school gate is going."

Chen Zhu was being embraced by someone, and he struggled quite uncomfortably. Just as he was trying to find an excuse to avoid it, he saw Jiang Jianren approaching from a distance.

Speaking of which, Jiang Jianren was originally a famous figure in the school.From the junior high school of No. [-] Middle School, he was the unshakable number one in his grade. When he was promoted to middle school, all the teachers and students in the school thought that he should be the number one in the senior high school entrance examination this time.

No one expected that Chen Zhu would appear out of nowhere, overtook him by one point and became the new focus.

As soon as the first year of high school started, the two of them participated in the Mathematical Olympiad summer camp at that time with excellent results.

I thought that these two academic masters would fight to the death.Unexpectedly, for the honor of the school, these two people worked on the questions overnight, checked each other's omissions and filled in the gaps, and even stayed up late to bet on the questions.

In the following three years, the two of them participated in numerous competition summer camps and winter camps.

During the three years of high school, Jiang Jianren was the only friend Chen Zhu could talk to.

"Chen Zhu, for the big questions after this quiz, your way of solving the questions is different from mine." Jiang Jianren also had a bit of strength, straight to the point, regardless of the covetous eyes of the group of sports students on the side.

He pushed his thick glasses on the bridge of his nose, and stood in front of Fang Xu impartially, "Go, study room."

Only then did Chen Zhu break away from Fang Xu's hand, "Sorry, I have to do some research."

"Disappointment." Of course Fang Xu said to Jiang Jianren, he glanced dissatisfied at the person who appeared suddenly, and then looked at Chen Zhu, "Brother, when are you free?"

"Another day, it depends on the situation." Chen Zhu said a few perfunctory words, his mind was full of the big question at the end of the test paper.

Watching Jiang Jianren and Chen Zhu leave side by side, Fang Xu threw the basketball on the ground, "Fuck!"

"Fang Xu, do you still eat barbecue?"

"Don't eat." Fang Xu threw his schoolbag over his shoulder, "I'm going home to do my homework!" Who is not a top student?

Jiang Jianren took out the key and opened the door of the study room.The key to the self-study room is only available to the top ten students in the whole grade. This is a review place specially prepared by the school for top students.

But Chen Zhu rarely came here, he didn't like this kind of special treatment.Compared to the self-study room where the smell of needles can be heard, he still prefers to study in the noisy classroom.

Chen Zhu put down his schoolbag, and found the math test papers for the quiz according to the date from the test paper folder.

"I simplified a step, but the train of thought is not as smooth as yours." Jiang Jianren read Chen Zhu's test paper carefully.

The two discussed the difficulty of the questions, and after Chen Zhu had passed all the test papers, he realized that it was dark outside.

Chen Zhu packed his schoolbag and walked out of the study room with Jiang Jianren.

He and Jiang Jianren have been together for three years. Although they are friends, they stop at discussing and studying.

The two rarely talked about anything other than study.

Firstly, Jiang Jianren is a typical question-making machine, he doesn't listen to things outside the window, and only works as a questioner; secondly, Chen Zhu is not used to talking about his own affairs with others.

They can also be regarded as a natural fit to a certain extent, and getting along with each other will not embarrass each other.

"This time the focus is on solid geometry, I guess the big question next time—"

Before Jiang Jianren finished speaking, a high-beam light shone directly on his eyelids.

He raised his hand to block the glare of the light, and heard Chen Zhu standing beside him stop.

The car door was slammed shut with a bang.Xu Lanting's tall figure stood against the light. He had deep brows and eyes. When he was not smiling, his brows were lowered, and a light sweep could make people feel oppressed.

"Who is it?" Jiang Jianren squinted his eyes in dissatisfaction, "Do you have a sense of public morality?"

"Sorry, little classmate." Xu Lanting approached slowly, his appearance was gentle and decent, but the expression in his eyes was not the same.

He glanced at Jiang Jianren lightly, "I'm here to pick Chen Zhu home." Xu Lanting stood not far away, with the unique smell of wine after the banquet.

The delicate scent surrounded Chen Zhu without any trace, leaving him nowhere to escape.

"Azhu," Xu Lanting grabbed Chen Zhu's shoulder and called him affectionately, "Let's go."

He used names that he would only use on the bed, and was as cunning as a fox, secretly seducing Chen Zhu.

Jiang Jianren: "Are you his brother?"

Xu Lanting curled his lips into a smile, "Yeah. I'm very dear, brother." He gently put the word 'brother' in his mouth word by word, with a meaningful ending.

After getting in the car, Xu Lanting pinched Chen Zhu's chin, and gently rubbed Chen Zhu's delicate skin with his fingertips.

"Have you had fun with your classmates?" He didn't mention the bad day that day, and he acted intimately as if there had never been a barrier.

Chen Zhu turned his face away, "Yes." At the end, he added, "Take me home, I want to write a question."

"That's it." Xu Lanting raised his eyebrows, put his chin on Chen Zhu's shoulder, raised his eyes slightly, and looked up at him, "So busy."

It has to be said that Xu Lanting is indeed God's darling, perhaps when God created this man, he made up his mind to trample everyone under his feet.

Xu Lanting's grandma is a Russian woman, so Xu Lanting's eyebrows are straight like a Westerner's, her eyes are deep, her pupils are shallow, and her nose is straight.

Lips are thin and light-colored—naturally, they look cool and thin.

However, Xu Lanting's face is a gentle outline unique to oriental people.At least, when he smiles and lowers his brows and eyes, it will give people the illusion of affection.

"Chen Zhu," Xu Lanting hugged Chen Zhu's waist, honestly and kindly, "Can you accompany me for a while?"

It is undeniable that Xu Lanting has extraordinary emotional intelligence, especially good at insight into people's hearts.

He cleverly avoided all of Chen Zhu's sharp thorns, and touched Chen Zhu's soft heart.

"It's up to you." Chen Zhu closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair wearily.

Along the way, Xu Lanting chatted with him occasionally.

Chen Zhu could tell that Xu Lanting was trying to make up with him.

Also, Xu Lanting seemed to be sidestepping, looking for Jiang Jianren's information.

Chen Zhu was not in the mood to go around with him, "Jiang Jianren is my friend, don't worry, I won't mess around."

He meant something, but Xu Lanting was not annoyed, but smiled lightly.

"Chen Zhu, as I said, although we are together for fun, I won't do anything that crosses the line."

Indeed, although Xu Lanting had a lot of flirts, when he was with Chen Zhu, he did not violate the bottom line of single-mindedness.

Chen Zhu's heart was inexplicably stabbed, playing...

That's right, they did say it right from the beginning, just for fun, why take it seriously.

How could he, Chen Zhu, be worthy of being Xu Lanting's serious lover, and he would not be the ultimate destination of a rich man like Xu Lanting.

To put it nicely, Chen Zhu is Xu Lanting's temporary habitat, but to put it bluntly.

Just a spare tire.

Chen Zhu opened his eyes and looked at the night outside the window, "Of course. If you step on the line and mess around, what's the point of playing?"

He, Chen Zhu, would not be so cheap.
