immature

Xi Yan originally thought that he might have some fate with the podium this time. It wasn't until the radio broadcast that the students who had won the top eight places went to the podium to receive the award. He realized that he was thinking too much. Even if he ran 1000 meters in 3 minutes, No.1 was still nearly 150 meters faster than him.

Xi Yan clicked his tongue in amazement, he admired athletes, creatures that challenged the limits of the human body, and by the way... just by the way... Zhong Qin became a little more powerful in his heart.

Holding his No.5 certificate, Xi Yan waited under the rostrum for Zhong Qin to get off the top podium of the high jump event of the men's group of senior one.

This person said nothing, he said that he wanted to jump a height without ambiguity, he really got a result of [-], broke the record of the high group, and was only one centimeter away from the standard of a second-level athlete, exaggerating to Xi Yan himself I can't believe it.

The expressions of the two students from Sandong District standing on both sides of Zhong Qin were indescribable, and Xi Yan even felt a little distressed and affectionate for them from the bottom of his heart.

Under the rostrum, there is an umbrella shed, which is a temporary gathering place for the student officers of the propaganda department of each school.

Xi Yan had time to wait, so he walked over to the Fifth Middle School for a stroll, and happened to see their newly developed photos.

These photos were strung together with fine hemp ropes, and hung in rows under the canopy in a staggered manner to show the campus style, and teachers and students passing by could watch the excitement.

Xi Yan saw Zhong Qin in this pile of photos at a glance - the young man jumped up beautifully, and stopped at the highest point, the smooth lines stretched out from the shoulders, neck and back, hovering above the crossbar, and his movements were clean and neat.

You can even vaguely see the abdominal muscles under the hem of the school uniform.

As expected of the student officer of the school's publicity department, his photography skills are much better than those of the female students who just look at handsome guys... Xi Yan curled his lips, but felt that this photo was hung in such a prominent place, which made him a little unhappy.

Xi Yan asked: "Hello classmate, will these photos be sold as postcards in the future?"

"You know it very well, and I will choose some to make postcards around the campus." The two female students smiled, and one of them replied friendly, "If you like our photos, please support us a lot. "

Another female classmate said lively: "Are you from our No. [-] Middle School? Or you can join our Propaganda Department! Can you hide the photos secretly..."

The female classmate next to her immediately made a "shh" gesture, added "she was joking", and laughed together.

Xi Yan also smiled, feeling "Youth is so good", and at the same time convinced that Zhong Qin's photos must be hidden by many people.

Xi Yan suddenly couldn't wait for the day when the photos would be made into postcards.He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, turned on the camera, and quickly took a picture of the photo praised by the crowd.

The two female classmates suddenly fell silent——

"What are you filming now? Why did you go when I was competing?"

Xi Yan was startled, looked back, and found that the protagonist in the photo had already received the award and was standing behind him.

Zhong Qin raised his chin slightly, but lowered his eyes lightly, looking at Xi Yan with his usual teasing.

The little trick was caught on the spot, Xi Yan rubbed his nose, and put away the phone: "Well, I just watched it during the game, so why don't you have time to take pictures."

Zhong Qin raised his eyebrows, meaningfully: "Really."

Xi Yan felt a little guilty for some reason, so he glared at Zhong Qin: "I also saw you hit the pole and fell badly - at that time, I really should have taken a photo of you, printed it out, and sent it to every female student in your class." open!"

Zhong Qin: "..."

Zhong Qin didn't know about the things between Xi Yan and the female students in his class, but he didn't bother to ask.

He nodded to meet the eyes of the student officers, then reached out and hung something around Xi Yan's neck, then pressed Xi Yan's back of his neck, and led him back towards the stands.

Xi Yan walked two steps under Zhong Qin's pressure, and looked down at his chest—it was a golden medal whose color matched Zhong Qin's.

Xi Yan wanted to raise his eyes and ask Zhong Qin what he was doing, but he didn't ask, he just lowered his eyelashes, rubbed the edge of the gold medal with his fingers, and spit at Zhong Qin by accident: "...Give it to me ?”

Zhong Qin didn't hesitate, just hummed lightly, as if he didn't care too much about this gold medal, and also as if he planned to give it to Xi Yan originally.

Xi Yan's heart was beating very fast. Although Zhong Qin's photo was hidden by many people, Zhong Qin's only gold medal in the high jump would only be given to him.

Xi Yan got cheap and acted like a good boy. He habitually squeezed Zhong Qin to walk, and turned his head to look for Zhong Qin's eyes: "Give it to me? Really? Are you willing?"

Zhong Qin raised his hand to press his raised forehead, gave him a sideways look, and said nothing.

He gave away everything he never thought he would give, and he really didn't want to part with a gold medal.

On the way back to the stands, the third group of high jumps was finished, and Zhong Qin and Xi Yan just ran into the referee of the competition.

Zhong Qin nodded politely to the referee: "Teacher."

The referee patted Zhong Qin on the shoulder and said, "You are very talented, young man, are you going to take the athlete test? You are only a freshman in high school, and you can train for two years, maybe you can get some results."

Before Zhong Qin could answer, Xi Yan, the annoying ghost, laughed first: "Hello, teacher referee—whether he can achieve results depends on what he has trained in the past two years. There is a high probability that it will be a computer competition. Up to 1.5 meters is a problem."

referee:"……"

Zhong Qin briefly said a few words to the referee, and took the troublesome ghost away in a troubled manner.

In the afternoon, Xi Yan and Zhong Qin had the last event left, the 4×200 relay race.

The relay race was signed up by school and grade. The first-year students in the fifth middle school were Xi Yan from Class [-], Zhong Qin from Class [-], and two students from other classes.

When I was doing additional training at school, the leader of the physical education grade group tested the 200-meter scores of the four of them alone. Zhong Qin and Xi Yan were first and second respectively, but the gap between Xi Yan and another student from another foreign class was very, very small .

It stands to reason that according to the results, Zhong Qin and Xi Yan should be arranged at the first and last.

But Xi Yan, a rambunctious dog who doesn't understand the general situation and doesn't take the overall situation as the top priority, always makes a fuss about running third.

"Why," said the little classmate with almost the same grades as Xi Yan, "I will be nervous when I run the first club..."

"Don't be nervous, you won't be the first if you are nervous anyway," Xi Yan patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "You run fast too! There is no difference between my first shot and your first shot, just run as you like. , no matter what, Zhong Qin has the bottom line."

The little students didn't know whether they were comforted by "You're fast" or persuaded by "I'm nervous and can't get the first place". In short, I finally accepted Xi Baba's arrangement. After all, it is more practical to have Zhong Qin in his pocket. .

Only Zhong Qin, who was arranged to "cover the bottom line", looked helpless: "What do you want to do?"

At that time, Xi Yan didn't answer Zhong Qin, picked up the school uniform jacket thrown on the playground and shook it, obviously in a good mood, happily stepped on the class bell, and pulled Zhong Qin back to the teaching building.

——When they actually stood at their respective starting positions, Xi Yan, who comforted others not to be nervous, was the first to tremble.

Not afraid.

It was anticipation and excitement, which made his trembling blood rush to the bottom of his feet, as if the moment of handing out the baton would excite him more than the moment of standing on the podium.

Because Zhong Qin was standing on the curve in front of him, turned sideways, raised one arm backward, and opened his palm firmly towards himself.

200 meters is a distance that Xi Yan can run in less than half a minute.

In less than half a minute, he was able to get close to Zhong Qin who was standing in front of him.

A deafening signal shot—

The first rods of the seven groups left the strings at the same time!

Boom, boom.

The loud cheers were no longer distinct, only the sound of his heart beating like a drum was left in Xi Yan's ears.

While waiting to take over the baton, Xi Yan hoped that time would flow faster, but when he firmly grasped the baton handed to him by his teammates and ran towards Zhong Qin, he actually hoped that time would run faster. Slow down, slow down.

He didn't run the first baton due to a little selfishness that he couldn't explain clearly. It seemed that when he delivered the last baton subconsciously, he also delivered the secret emotions in his heart to Zhong who was holding the other end of the baton tightly. Qin.

In the three schools and seven districts, men and women of each grade participated in the 4×200 relay race, and the men's group of the first grade of the fifth middle school took the third place. Finally, Xi Yan tasted what it was like to stand on the podium.

During the awards ceremony and photo session, Xi Yan and the others stood side by side on the third step, with a hard-won bronze medal hanging around their necks.

The moment the flash light came on, Xi Yan smiled brightly, even under the camera, he insisted on stretching his arms to hug Zhong Qin's shoulders.

Zhong Qin had nothing to do with him, so he could only cooperate with Wei Wei's short stature, saving a little face for Xi Xiaogou.

So when he finally faced the camera, Xi Yan proudly hung Zhong Qin's neck, and even made a scissors hand next to Zhong Qin's ear.

As always, Zhong Qin raised his chin slightly, lowered his eyes, and gently wrapped his arms around Xi Yan's shoulder.

The photo freezes a pair of scorching sun-like teenagers.

After the relay run, for Xi Yan and Zhong Qin, the joint sports meeting had basically come to an end, and they were very relaxed when they returned to class.

Today happens to be Friday, after the sports meeting, everyone will go home directly from the city gymnasium, and there is no need to study by themselves in the evening, so a group of young students who are not enough to make a fuss have to have a party, and want to have a meal together, and everyone will sing a song Watch a movie or something.

Xi Yan was happy to join in the fun, and Zhong Qin wanted to slip away—of course, he couldn't run away with Xi Yan around.

Zhong Qin put on a critical face: "...you can do your homework yourself."

As soon as the homework was mentioned, Xi Yanren stiffened immediately.

The homework was sent out before the opening of the joint sports meeting. Two days of the sports meeting and two days of weekends were enough to make up the amount equivalent to a small long vacation, and they were collected together on Monday.

Xi Yan had been a chasing boy for a while, and his heart was about to be as high as the sky, but he was suddenly thrown back to the ground by a stack of papers thicker than his skin. Could he not be stupid?

Xi Yansheng hangs back on Zhong Qin's body without love, and said to the other students in a nonchalant manner: "...Why don't you guys go and play, I'll go back to the kennel with Brother Gou to do homework honestly."

"Hey! Why don't we all go to the dog shop!" Li Wenrui immediately sang with Ding Xuan, "Yes! I haven't been to a dog cafe yet!"

Yang Ziyang also chimed in: "It's not about spending money, why not take care of our Brother Zhong's business!"

Both Lu Yaoyao and Chen Xing's eyes lit up, and "Take us with you" was written all over their faces.

Xi Yan laughed: "His shop card..."

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Zhong Qin raised his arms around Xi Yan's neck, and covered Xi Yan's mouth very smoothly.

Then Zhong Qin himself said very frankly: "I have a cup of cappuccino 46 in my shop."

"Hmm!" Xi Yan tugged Zhong Qin's hand dissatisfied, but Zhong Qin ignored him.

And a group of young students didn't know what filters they brought to Zhong Qin, but they all said in unison: "It's such a bargain! Then this wave must go!"

Zhong Qin: "..."

Another companion.

A group of young students pushed two tables together and sat down noisily, no matter whether it was cappuccino or tiramisu, they took the menu proudly and ordered whatever was expensive.

Xi Yan clicked his tongue twice: "Students who have never worked and earned money are rich."

Zhong Qin gave him a sideways glance: "You are not much better, do you read the price list before spending money?"

Xi Yan stared back without showing any weakness: "Who told Boss Zhong to be stingy and not want me to work in the store to earn your money! You let me earn for a while, and I will definitely learn to be diligent and thrifty to manage the house!"

Zhong Qin: "..."

Ding Xuan: "Old Li..."

Li Wenrui and Ding Xuan have a perfect understanding: "Hey! It's been a long time! You smell so masculine!"

There were other customers in the store, so after the little classmates settled down, Boss Zhong went upstairs first and put down the cream to play.

For the first time, Xi Yan couldn't look back at the dog son, but went into the catering preparation area to help Zhang Yiheng. He was more busy than Boss Zhong himself, like a landowner's wife. Feet to go upstairs.

Ding Xuan raised his head and asked, "Xi Baba? Where are you going? The toilet is on the first floor."

Xi Yan waved his hand: "I don't go to the bathroom, and wearing a school uniform doesn't feel like a holiday. I'll go upstairs and change."

Seeing that Xi Yan walked up the stairs in a familiar manner, everyone looked at each other for a while, and then asked Chen Meng who happened to come over to deliver drinks to them: "Sister Meng, upstairs is...?"

Chen Meng snorted and replied, "Our little boss's room."

Pupils: "Oh——"

Zhong Qin and Xi Yan walked down the stairs one after the other.

Both of them changed out of their school uniforms, because the air-conditioning in the shop was warm, so neither of them wore much.

Xi Yan was already used to wearing Zhong Qin's clothes, and he flicked the sleeves of the fleece sweater that had protruded from his fingertips tremblingly, followed by Butter, who had just learned to walk down the stairs.

Xi Yan walked behind, feeling that Zhong Qin was walking too slowly, so he took Zhong Qin's shoulders from behind and put his weight on Zhong Qin: "Mr. Zhong, can you stop taking a walk? I'm hungry." .”

Uncle Zhong walked grandly in the middle of the narrow stairs: "I can't."

Xi Yan stared at the back of Uncle Zhong's head, put his arms around Zhong Qin's neck, leaned forward and shouted: "I'm jumping!"

There was heat behind Zhong Qin's ears, and before he could refuse, Xi Yan jumped onto his back.

Zhong Qin reacted very quickly, quickly stopped and supported Xi Yan firmly with his backhand, and then turned his head to look at the hairy head next to his neck: "...Are you childish?"

Zhong Qin was carrying a rambunctious dog on his back, and at his feet was a jumping milk dog that had to circle around him, making it difficult for him to go down the stairs.

Laipi Gou stayed on his back and didn't forget to spoil, his legs swayed a few times, showing that he was complacent: "You are naive to block the way. Boss Zhong——I'm hungry——"

Xi Yan sneaked a look at Zhong Qin's ear, and found a small light brown mole on the pinna, which couldn't be seen unless he looked closely.There's nothing special about a mole, but Xi Yan just found it strange, so he reached out to rub it.

Zhong Qin's back stiffened, and Xi Yan withdrew his hand guiltily.

Xi Yan thought that Zhong Qin would throw him off after only two steps of good intentions, but Zhong Qin didn't, so Xi Yan felt sweet in his heart, and shamelessly swept Zhong Qin's neck with the broken hair on his forehead.

As a result, as soon as he stepped out of the stairs, Zhong Qin threw Xi Yan to the ground like a hot potato, and said in distaste, "I owe you? I still have to take care of the food?"

Xi Yan smiled and rubbed his nose, thinking that maybe he was too naughty, or Zhong Qin was a little ticklish, anyway, the little trick just now must have offended him.

Butter fell into the pile of corgis as soon as it came down. Xi Yan followed Zhong Qin, who was not looking sideways, and sat down in the seat specially reserved for them by the little classmates—then met the little classmates who spurned the dog boy on the spot gaze.

Xi Yan looked around subconsciously, and as expected, he caught a few inquiring glances.

Xi Yan was a little embarrassed again, and his heartbeat quickened after he realized it.

Everything to eat and drink is served, and there are many desserts, covering a table.

Zhong Qin looked at the things on the table, took out the phone and tapped it a few times, then handed the phone to Xi Yan.

Xi Yan took it and glanced at it...the interface of the delivery software was on the screen.

There are a lot of things on the table, but with so many people, these things can be eaten and played, and they must not be full.

Xi Yan blinked, and suddenly switched to the perspective of a puppy waiting for Zhong Qin to feed him, feeling that the taste of opening his mouth is really good.

When ordering in the store, you have to pay in advance. Zhong Qin said that he would not charge money, but was strongly rejected by his classmates. Zhong Qin did not insist anymore, but he paid for a luxurious fast food for everyone. Friendship.

... After all, he can't just buy Xi Xiaogou alone.

After a laughing and joking meal, and chatting for a long time, when everyone was about to go back to their homes, Xi Xiaogou rubbed his swollen belly, took the butter tied to the dog leash, and went out with Zhong Qin .

They also have to go to the hospital to pick up bean paste, bean buns and egg yolks for the weekend, and take a walk after dinner.

If it weren't for the pile of homework to be completed, Xi Yan would almost have the illusion of a chaotic life timeline, and the time spent with Zhong Qin in "the other partner" looks like retirement.

Zhong Qin knows how to take care of others, his...wife?
