forced coquetry

I saw an oil painting stuck to the door, showing the backs of two teenagers on a tree-lined road under a blue sky, one in front and one behind.

The clothes these two people were wearing were exactly the same as what Lin Yuhuai was wearing now, the school uniform of Fengde Middle School.

Moreover, Lin Yuhuai can tell at a glance that the young man walking in front of the painting is Gu Yinzhou. Although there is only one figure from the back, he can be sure that it is Gu Yinzhou. As for the other person, Lin Yuhuai always feels familiar, but he can't tell who is it.

However, this picture was obviously torn and re-glued together, and the tear marks just separated the two people.

It seems that there is too much resentment towards this painting, and a big red cross on the painting occupies the entire space.

Lin Yuhuai stood in the stairwell and shivered greatly, until the voice control light went out again, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.

His intuition told him that it was brought by the wind.

Lin Yuhuai couldn't help but look around, but nothing could be seen in the darkness, his chest heaved violently, and his heavy breathing echoed in his ears.

"call--"

"call--"

"call--"

What lingers in my mind is the crack in the painting, as if my heart has been severely torn in two.

It wasn't until there was a sound in the stairwell that Lin Yuhuai suddenly came back to his senses. He turned his head, the sound of footsteps continued, each step was very slow as if stepping on his heart, listening to the sound of getting closer and closer to him voice, Lin Yuhuai tightly grasped his hand, his fingertips turned white very much.

Fear arises spontaneously.

There was only a bang, and the voice-activated lights on the third floor came on.

Seeing that the person at the top of the stairs was the stooped neighbor's grandmother, Lin Yuhuai breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that he was a little weak and unable to support himself. He took a step back and leaned against the wall to make room for his grandmother.

By the way, he raised his hand to wipe his forehead, only to realize that his forehead was dripping with sweat.

The grandma in the corridor gave Lin Yuhuai a strange look, and before entering the room with cloudy eyes, she looked at the painting pasted on the opposite door, and couldn't help saying earnestly: "Young man, it's very strange for your painting to hang on the door like this." It's unlucky, you'd better throw it away quickly, it's too unlucky."

He shook his head disapprovingly.

Lin Yuhuai was stunned for half a second, twitched the corner of her stiff mouth, and replied thank you.

After grandma closed the door, Lin Yuhuai shifted his gaze to the portrait. After hesitating for a moment, he carefully tore off the painting from the door. He looked at the trash can in the passageway and tightened his hands, but he still didn't throw it in.

He took the key out of the bag, inserted it into the lock several times, and opened the door with trembling hands.

As soon as he entered the room, he kicked his foot back and immediately closed the door again. The whole person leaned against the door slumped, his body slowly slid down, and the other hand was still holding the painting blankly.

Lin Yuhuai sat on the ground, staring at the painting in his hand with his dark eyes, until a drop of water fell on the painting and blurred, and he stretched out his hand to touch it, only to find that his cheeks were wet.

This emotion came out of nowhere, but he was really uncomfortable. Lin Yuhuai covered his heart with his other hand, tightened his fingers a little bit, leaving a deep wrinkle on the clothes on his chest.

Could it be Yu Huai's emotion?

Lin Yuhuai's body trembled uncontrollably, and he felt that his breathing gradually became difficult. He choked up a few times, and began to gasp for air with his mouth wide open, tears falling down desperately.

At this moment, the phone rang suddenly.

Lin Yuhuai subconsciously picked it up.

"Yu Huai, I have your nameplate..." Before Gu Yinzhou finished speaking, he heard a sobbing voice on the other side.

"Gu Yinzhou, I'm so sad, I'm really sad, I don't know, I don't know what's wrong with me." Lin Yuhuai kept sobbing, sobbing that he couldn't even speak clearly, "My heart hurts so much, I don't know what's wrong with me." I can't even breathe, what should I do..."

There was no interruption in the crying at all, occasionally mixed with the sound of heavy breathing.

Gu Yinzhou on the other end of the phone frowned almost together. He heard Lin Yuhuai's voice calmed down a little before he said in a calm voice: "Where are you?"

"At home." Lin Yuhuai hiccupped while choking on sobs.

"Send me the address."

"No."

There was still a low sobbing sound, if Lin Yuhuai's mood was not extremely unstable until now, Gu Yinzhou would have wondered if this girl was joking with him.

"Will you say it?" Gu Yinzhou suppressed his temper and said as gently as possible.

"No, I don't want you to come over."

Listening to Gu Yinzhou's voice, Lin Yuhuai gradually came back to his senses. He turned on the hands-free phone, took a piece of paper to wipe his nose and tears.

"Yu Huai, you're so fucking smug, I'll just hang up if there's nothing wrong with it." Gu Yinzhou said unhappily, he finally cared about this person, but he didn't appreciate it, who the hell would care? look for him.

When he heard that Gu Yinzhou was about to hang up the phone, Lin Yuhuai panicked. He immediately picked up the phone and approached him and said, "Don't hang up." Even with the hands-free on, he was worried that he would not be able to hear the other party's voice.

"Don't hang up, okay? I won't bother you, as long as you don't hang up."

Hearing Lin Yuhuai's rare pleading words, Gu Yinzhou's heart softened all of a sudden, and he was thinking about how to comfort Lin Yuhuai. After hearing the next sentence, the atmosphere disappeared completely.

"I can help you pay the phone bill this time."

Gu Yinzhou gritted his teeth for half a second before replying sullenly: "Yes."

Hearing Gu Yinzhou's promise not to hang up the phone, Lin Yuhuai breathed a sigh of relief. He looked down at the painting in his hand, finally rolled it up and put it in the closet, and locked it again.

Lin Yuhuai put the phone next to the pillow, listening to the occasional rustling sound on the phone, and slowly fell into a deep sleep.

"Yu Huai." Gu Yinzhou called softly twice but no one answered.

It wasn't until he heard the sound of even breathing from the other end of the phone that Gu Yinzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Is this guy tired from crying, that's why he fell asleep so fast?

After waking up the next day, Lin Yuhuai realized that Gu Yinzhou really hadn't hung up the phone, as if the tip of his heart had been gently poked by a feather, a burst of numbness spread.

For a moment, Lin Yuhuai felt sweet and bitter in his heart, and the bitter thing was that the phone bill should not be a small amount, after all, it was just for one night.

Looking at the time, thinking that Gu Yinzhou hadn't woken up yet, Lin Yuhuai hung up the phone.

I made two sandwiches and took them to school.

Sure enough, when he arrived in the classroom, the seat next to him was empty. Gu Yinzhou didn't come until the class was about to start. Lin Yuhuai made way for him, and with a smile, he touched a sandwich from his schoolbag and handed it to Gu Yinzhou.

Gu Yinzhou froze for a moment, took the sandwich Lin Yuhuai gave him calmly, and replied with a very awkward thank you.

Lin Yuhuai bent his pretty almond eyes again, and also opened his own and started to eat.

Gu Yinzhou looked at Lin Yuhuai, and felt that this person was not much different from usual except that he was extra diligent today, as if nothing happened yesterday. Gu Yinzhou hoped that Lin Yuhuai could adjust his mentality so quickly, but he I always feel it's weird, but I can't put it into words.

Gu Yinzhou's eyes fell on Lin Yuhuai's slightly swollen eyes, and he said after deliberating, "What happened to you last night?"

Lin Yuhuai stopped chewing for half a second, rolled his throat, swallowed the bread in his mouth, and said, "Well, I've already paid the phone bill for you." Obviously he didn't want to mention what happened last night.

"......"

Because of this, Gu Yinzhou was sulking for self-study early in the morning.

Seeing Gu Yinzhou leaning back on the table again, Lin Yuhuai looked away, silently chewing the sandwich in his mouth, it seemed tasteless.

"The results of the monthly exam are out!" The monitor began to publicize since entering the classroom, "When I just handed in my homework, I saw the teacher holding the report card in his hand."

"Fuck, it's so fast, happy days are always too short."

"Don't tell me what number I got in the exam!"

"..."

Before the students finished speaking, they heard the sound of high-heeled shoes stepping on the floor, and immediately sat back in silence.

Yan Fang walked in with a stack of test papers in her arms, with a more serious expression on her face than usual. She handed the test papers to the classmate by the door and motioned to distribute them.

Everyone speculated whether it was because the class teacher was at the bottom of the class test that the head teacher looked so serious.

Yan Fang shifted her gaze to Lin Yuhuai in the last row, hesitated for a moment and wrote a question on the blackboard.

He said to his classmates: "Which classmate can do this question?"

Then she looked around for a week, but no one dared to raise her hand. Finally, she fixed her gaze on Lin Yuhuai, tried to slow down the expression on her face, and said.

"Student Yu Huai, the teacher just read the last question on your test paper, the thinking is clear and easy, I don't know if you can solve this question.

Upon hearing this, everyone cast their eyes on Lin Yuhuai, unable to figure out why the head teacher suddenly named Gu Yinzhou's boyfriend.

Lin Yuhuai stood up generously, and responded with a cute smile on the corner of his mouth: "I will try my best.

Then go to the podium and start doing the questions.

Seeing that Lin Yuhuai solved the problem quickly and his thinking was very clear, Yan Fang was greatly relieved, a satisfied smile finally appeared on her frozen face.

In fact, many teachers don't quite believe Lin Yuhuai's test results this time, but the teachers who know Lin Yuhuai's temperament think that this student will not do such a thing, maybe his brain suddenly opened up, and this is another one The dark horse that came out.

In order to take into account the self-esteem of the students, Yan Fang could only use this method to test. After all, the difficulty of this question is not low. There are no more than five students in the grade who can solve this question, and Lin Yuhuai's solution is like this. The ingenuity really surprised her, and she praised Lin Yuhuai without hesitation.

"Yeah, yes, that's a good explanation." Then let Lin Yuhuai go back to his seat.

"Did the students understand it?" He said the question again, and waited until most people understood it before mentioning the monthly exam.

"First of all, I want to praise the new classmate in our class, Yu Huai." After speaking, his eyes fell on Lin Yuhuai again, and he nodded in agreement, "This time he won the first grade for our class!"

As soon as Yan Fang finished speaking, she heard a burst of sighs from the students, and soon there was applause.

However, Lin Yuhuai himself was more surprised, he turned his head to look at someone who was still sleeping on the table.

In fact, he had already tacitly agreed in his heart that Gu Yinzhou would be number one. After all, he had never passed Gu Yinzhou's exam before, so now he was surprised besides being surprised.

"I hope Yu Huai will continue to work hard."

Then Yan Fang praised several people in succession, and talked about the overall situation of the next class.

Lin Yuhuai took the report card from the students in the front row.

He looked down along No.1, trying to find Gu Yinzhou's name, but he couldn't find it at the end, so he looked again carefully, and then moved to the second row.

His fingertips slid one by one, but he didn't see Gu Yinzhou's name.

Is it a missed call?

Until he saw the last name.

Lin Yuhuai's pupils suddenly constricted, as if he saw something incredible: "..."

Damn it, Gu Yinzhou actually got the bottom No.1 in the exam.
