immature

Xi Yan didn't expect this development, he was stunned for a moment, and then felt the despair of the straight man rushing towards him.

Xi Yan suppressed a smile and asked: "Hey, it's bad enough. What kind of opinions have these guys expressed?"

Hu Xue paused for a moment, then asked rationally: "Forget it, Ah Qin, isn't it a bit bad for me to tell you a minor about this?"

"Okay," Xi Yan waved his hand and said in a big voice, "My mental age is beyond the restricted level."

Hu Xue immediately stopped complaining, and put on a face that was unrequited, as if this wave of hurt was engraved on his soul: "Brother Xi, that's disgusting... put it there and swear, saying that in this life Never play sports with a guy with a belly like a ball."

"Brother Guang gesticulated twice according to his own belly, and he didn't know where to figure out a sense of superiority. He said, he is indeed a little fatter, and only a man like him is competitive."

Xi Yan found it funny and curious at the same time, hurriedly asked: "Then... what about Zhong Qin?"

Hu Xue patted his thigh, and complained excitedly: "He is the worst! He raised his long legs like a grandfather at that time, and said with a blank face..."

Hu Xue imitated Zhong Qin's expression and tone with a numb face: "——I prefer tall, thin, and thin-waisted ones."

"After finishing speaking, he persuaded me to change the film! He thought I was not aesthetically pleasing! Damn, who the hell knows whether the waist of the pile driver is thin or not! Tell me! Is he angry?!"

Xi Yan fell into silence, joys and sorrows are not the same as the straight man Hu Xue.

He hid one hand in the blanket, moved down quietly, and pinched his waist.

Tall and thin-waisted.

Just... just barely.

After a long while, Xi Yan reluctantly looked down at the palm of his other hand, then slowly returned the baby peanut crisps and chocolates he was holding to Hu Xue, Qi Qi Ai Ai asked: "How thin is considered thin? "

Hu Xue choked for a moment: "Brother Xi said that I am getting pregnant! I have no right to speak on this issue!"

Xi Yan listened to Hu Xue chatting about Zhong Qin's past for a while, and gradually the two fell asleep amidst successive yawns.

The next morning.

After all, sleeping on the recliner was not very sound, Xi Yanting woke up early, after tidying up, he greeted Hu Xue and prepared to go back home.

Hu Xueliu said to him: "Don't, what are you going back for now, go after the reunion dinner. Brother Guang and Ah Qin should come later, let's feed the dog together."

As soon as Xi Yan heard that he was going to feed the dog, he felt itchy in his heart, and wanted to stay, but then he thought about his feat of locking Zhong Qin and Tang Xi together last night, and he was a little embarrassed.

So Xi Yan finally reluctantly gave up: "I won't eat rice, I'm losing weight recently."

During the exam preparation, Hu Xue, whom Tang Xi jokingly referred to as pregnancy preparation, stared at Xi Yan's small body, and pointed a finger at Xi Yan's dog nose: "Are you mocking me?"

Xi Yan slipped away with a smile.

Xi Yan knew that Zhong Qin was a hardworking person who rushed early, so he left in a hurry in order not to meet him.

As a result, as soon as he stepped out of the gate of the base, Zhong Qin called.

Zhong Qin rarely called.

A symphony orchestra popped up in Xi Yan's mind out of nowhere, with drums beating and horns blowing, which made him uneasy and secretly happy.

In the winter morning, the wind was still bitter, but Xi Yan's palms were sweating for some reason, and his ears were also hot.

My heart is still awkward, but I am not willing to accept it.Xi Yan wiped his hands on his pants casually, and before the phone hung up, he hurriedly pressed the answer button: "... um."

"Xi Xiaogou? Are you up?" Zhong Qin's voice sounded the same as usual, "Are you still angry?"

Xi Yan squeezed the phone tightly.He knew that his behavior last night was very strange. From Zhong Qin's point of view, he should have made an unknown anger. Now he should answer "no" or "why am I angry", so that it seems natural.

But Xi Yan acted like a baby to Zhong Qin subconsciously: "...well, I'm angry, so angry that I couldn't sleep and went out for a walk."

"Then what should I do?" Zhong Qin seemed to smile lightly, "Would you like to take you to the base to celebrate the New Year?"

Xi Yan's heart trembled when Zhong Qin laughed, and he also felt that Zhong Qin's tone was like coaxing a puppy, which made him a little embarrassed.

Xi Yan glanced back at the gate of the base, took a deep breath and decided to be tough, and said sullenly: "I don't. You go with them by yourself."

Before Zhong Qin could speak, Xi Yan said "hang up", hung up the phone in a panic, and raised his hand to hail a taxi from the gas station across the street.

In the car, Zhong Qin's message came seamlessly again:

"Then I'll take a picture for you?"

Xi Yan murmured in a low voice: "What are you doing, Zhong Qin..."

As if hearing Xi Yan's muttering, Zhong Qin said again:

"Coax you?"

Xi Yan quickly locked the phone, not daring to learn Zhong Qin's tricks anymore.

Not long after Xi Yan left, Zhong Qin arrived at the base.

Hu Xue said to him: "Xi Yan just left, have you two met?"

Zhong Qin was stunned for a moment: "Did he come here last night?"

"Yeah, he really didn't tell you?" Hu Xue thought for a while, then said with a shiver, "That's right, when he came yesterday, he said that he was kicked out by you and Brother Xi."

"I didn't reply to the message all night. Is that what he said?" Zhong Qin laughed angrily, "Maybe I begged him to lock the store door for me from the outside. If brother Guang was also in the store at that time, I You can only call 119."

Hu Xuele: "This dog's temper... I guessed last night if you two were having a fight, oh, so I didn't tell you, the little classmate came all the way to this wilderness, because he felt uncomfortable and needed Do you want to hide in a quiet place?"

"En." Zhong Qin appreciated it, "Thank you."

Hu Xue waved his hand and gave him a white look: "Thank you."

Zhong Qin smiled lightly: "Who is the old lady, thank you."

"..." The old lady Hu Xue choked for a moment, "Damn."

After chatting with Hu Xue for a few words, Zhong Qin took out his mobile phone and clicked on the WeChat message.

Xi Yan didn't reply anything, and looked very vengeful.

Zhong Qin was not in a hurry, instead he smiled.

"Don't laugh like that!" Hu Xue said vigilantly, "You will remind me of the fear of stabbing a gay nest!"

The vengeful Xi Xiaogou left Hun'er in the base, and Zhong Qin was the only thing in his mind.

Sitting in front of the messy desk in his room, he pouted, put the pen between his upper lip and nose, and began to dream.

There is a Chinese dictation book spread out on the desktop, and at the end of the spread page, there are four beautiful and majestic words written in red pen.

"Gold and stone can be carved"

After a long while, Xi Yan tore off a blank page from the draft book, covered it, and couldn't help following Zhong Qin's handwriting, carefully tracing it.

But he couldn't calm down after writing it more than ten times. Instead, he always thought of Zhong Qin's way of writing with a pen, of Zhong Qin's slender hands stained with ink, and of how Zhong Qin used this hand impatiently and tenderly. pinch the back of his neck.

Xi Yan threw away the pen, and lay his head sideways on the table, his eyes and ears burning hot.

Inadvertently, Xi Yan caught a glimpse of the "Student Rules" that he threw casually in the corner of the desk—because the classroom was emptied at the end of the semester, all the books were brought back.

... He had memorized the "Student Rules" for Zhong Qin many times.

Xi Yan blankly flipped through the pages one by one, as if he wanted to recall his encounter with Zhong Qin through this action.Suddenly he paused, and saw a line in the second article of the fifth chapter:

"Students are prohibited from having too close contacts"

Xi Yan felt guilty in an instant, because now he has a clear-cut "too close relationship" partner.

Xi Yan casually grabbed a 2B pencil, circled it for some unknown reason, and annotated his name stroke by stroke next to it.

After finishing writing, Xi Yan leaned back on the table again, buried his face in his arms, and said at a loss: "Zhong Qin...Zhong Qin...what can I do..."

Today is thirty, the year of Xi Yan's family reunion.

Ding Xuan came to join in the fun in the afternoon, busying around with Xi Yan and his grandmother in the house.

When Ding Xuan entered the door and saw Xi Yan, the first thing he said was not Happy New Year, but asked him for Brother Gou. Xi Yan felt sore, and his miss for Zhong Qin suddenly yelled.

Fortunately, Xi Yan's cell phone didn't stop all day long, and it was full of New Year's greetings from dear students, as well as chattering in the noisy class group. These lively and lively news, which are not false and inappropriate, are easy to cheer up and make people happy. People divert attention.

When the group was over, the relatives and Ding Xuan were sent away, Xi Yan returned to the room, and fell into the "only Zhong Qin's world".

He sat at the table, turned on the phone that had run out of battery, paused with his fingertips, and clicked into the chat interface with Zhong Qin again.

In just one day's work, he has read such a small amount of chat records several times.

Although it is more like a "message" than a "chat", because there is no reply from him in the record, only Zhong Qin's news, this is a small probability event - just like his first love affair.

Zhong Qin's worry, Zhong Qin's concern, Zhong Qin's concession, Zhong Qin's teasing him, Zhong Qin's coaxing him, Zhong Qin's sending him pictures of the base, one by one made the tails of the little dogs go up to the sky.

——The phone suddenly vibrated.

Xi Yan's heart trembled.

It was Zhong Qin who just happened to send three red envelopes to Xi Yan.

Xi Yan curled his fingers. After hesitating for a while, he didn't rush to get the red envelope, but sent a message first. This was his first reply after a day:

"...Why are you giving out red envelopes?"

Zhong Qin quickly returned and said:

"Because you are open to money"

Xi Yan: "..."

Xi Yan stared at this line of words, and angrily took the three red envelopes.

An 88.88, a 66.66, and a 75.21.

The first two can still be understood, but what is the last one.

Xi Yan thought for a while, but couldn't think of a reason, so he simply asked:

"What is the meaning of the third"

Zhong Qinyan answered concisely:

"WeChat Leftovers"

Xi Yan couldn't understand: "...what's the matter, the new year is new, the past is all gone, don't you even want the money left before, who is it?"

—— Zhong Qin pressed the lock screen and put down the phone.

A week passed quickly, and Xi Yan became addicted to being an ostrich, and there was almost no news these days.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Zhong Qin's store reopened for business. While cleaning, Zhang Yiheng asked Zhong Qin: "Little boss, what has Xi Yan been up to these two days? I thought he was about to usurp power and succeed in taking over the power from you."

"..." For a while, Zhong Qin couldn't find a suitable reason to explain why the little classmate who wanted to usurp power didn't come for several days, so he could only say, "He's busy holding grudges."

Xi Yan's dullness is shallower than Zhong Qin imagined, and his sensitivity is deeper than he imagined.

The more careless Xi Yan was when getting along with him in the past, the more passive he is now when he recovers.

Zhong Qin understands that the longer Xi Yan spends as an ostrich, the more important he is in Xi Yan's heart.

But he also pays attention to his mobile phone frequently, unconsciously thinking about Xi Yan.

Before Tang Xi smashed his "puppy love", he originally thought that it would not be that difficult for a self-disciplined person to restrain a relationship, until Xi Yan locked the door and left with a dark face that night, which made his heart ache .

He suddenly realized that at some point, when he mentioned the word "Xi Yan" to others, his heart would open up unconsciously, and even the corners of his mouth wanted to twitch.

At some point, he hoped that Xi Yan would always be willing and like to call him by his name.

From some unknown moment, the sense of comfort and joy of staying with Xi Yan is ambiguously intertwined, so that "classmate" or "friend" are not enough to accurately describe the expectation in his heart.

"Friendship" and "like" fall on the two ends of the balance, and the weight on the side of "like" becomes heavier, stronger, and fuller.

The young people's "like" finally got out of control, falling heavily and resoundingly.

But Zhong Qin didn't want to interfere with Xi Yan's thinking, didn't want to "take advantage of the victory" to chase after him, and didn't want to take advantage of Xi Yan's most confused mind to grab someone.

He can also give Xi Yan a lot of time.

As long as the result Xi Yan gave him was not alienation, then he could show the most sincere liking and the most frank courage, and bring Xi Yan together to act recklessly in his youth.

——Zhong Qin is very thoughtful, Xi Yan almost didn't let Zhong Qin, a rationalist and scheming ghost, be mad at him to death.

On Valentine's Day, Xi Yan was soaked in a strong atmosphere of dog abuse, staring at his big eyes, which almost burned the screen of the phone, and gritted his teeth: "Master Dog Zhong Qin... I don't look for him. Don't look for me!!!"

Of course, Xi Yan didn't think that Zhong Qin did it on purpose, he thought the handsome guy wasn't so malicious, and even went to buy Zhong Qin a box of Valentine's Day chocolates.

Xi Yan has thought a lot these days, and finally thinks that he can't let that bastard Zhong Qin lead him by the nose, and has to look for opportunities...to take the initiative.

After all, he is tall, thin and has a thin waist, so Zhong Qin may fall in love with him.

Xi Yan stared at the Valentine's Day chocolates for a long time, finally opened the package and ate one, and muttered to himself while eating: "Anyway, I can't give it out this year, so I'll try it for him... Fortunately, I'm not fat."

Two days later, when the Lantern Festival was approaching, the opportunity Xi Yan had been waiting for came.

The day of the Lantern Festival, February [-]th, is his birthday.

Xi Yan couldn't remember when he didn't celebrate his birthday, maybe it was after college, or maybe after work.

But in middle school, "having a friend's birthday" is always an excellent reason to get together. Treating guests to dinner, singing, and watching movies must be the happiest when a group of young students sneaking in from their busy schedules get in the way.

Sure enough, two days before Xi Yan's birthday, Ding Xuan called: "Xi Baba? How are you going to celebrate your birthday the day after tomorrow? It's the Lantern Festival, and everyone may have to watch the Lantern Festival at home in the evening, or we can have a lunch at noon." Let's have some fun in the afternoon?"

Ding Xuan thinks about Xi Yan's birthday every year, and Xi Yan is the same. Even if he is no longer interested in celebrating his birthday when he is in his 20s, he will still say happy birthday to him.

When Xi Yan thinks back now, he feels that the most precious friendship is hidden by his side.

Xi Yan's mind was wandering, he also had to work hard to keep Zhong Qin by his side.

Ding Xuan was still fussing on the other end of the phone: "If you don't like crowds, I'll go to your house to eat glutinous rice balls—but how could you not like crowds! If Lao Li knew that you secretly celebrated your birthday, he would definitely Blame you to death!"

Xi Yan laughed for a while, and suddenly realized that he was indeed a lively person in his student days, so he replied: "Call Lao Li and others, um... and Zhong Qin, have a meal, sing and watch movies in the afternoon, you choose, I will dinner."

Ding Xuan said cheerfully: "Cheer up! I'll order a big cake for you!"

After hanging up the phone, Xi Yan took a deep breath boldly, and sent a message to Zhong Qin:

"Little Boss, are you free tomorrow?"

Soon, Zhong Qin's message came back:

"Competition Supplementary Lessons"

This was something Xi Yan never expected, he frowned instantly, and asked anxiously:

"... so miserable? When did you go to school?"

Zhong Qin told the truth:

"Nine to five"

Xi Yan reacted for a while, only to realize that "nine to five" means nine to five, which is about a whole day.

Xi Yan was shocked: "...Your uncle!"

Good guy, what kind of bullshit school is so ruthless, even during the Lantern Festival? !

Xi Yan felt aggrieved instantly: "My chance!"
