immature

Early the next morning, the alarm clock rang.

Zhong Qin woke up quickly, wanting to raise his hand to stop the vibrating cell phone.

Then... there was a lump that hindered his turning over.

Xi Yan, the boyfriend he just gained last night, was pillowing on his arm at this moment, and hummed a little dissatisfied.

As summer approaches, dawn comes early.

Before Zhong Qin woke up, there was already a sliver of sunlight shining into the small attic room of "the other partner" through the curtains which were not too thick.

Butter is on all fours, lying on his stomach on the thick cushion that makes him feel at ease, his milky white paws are actually covered with a layer of bright fur edges by the dawn light.

The quilt was skewed, and a corner protruded from the bed, covering two sleepy, irregular teenagers with long arms and long legs.

The small pavilion is not big, and it feels like the floor is very close to the ceiling.

Whether it's the messy desktops in the house, the kennels placed everywhere, the clothes thrown on the ground, or the faintly heard birdsong outside the window, it's easy to make this place seem a little crowded.

——It seems that all the comfort and warmth in the world have been stuffed into this small world.

Perhaps it was because just after waking up in the morning, Zhong Qin's thoughts began to wander around the person he saw when he opened his eyes.

... Xi Yan seems to be particularly sensitive to light when he sleeps.

Sometimes he forgets the time while brushing the questions, and the light of the white woven lamp on the desk will stay until very late. When he finally stops the "mass production" of various subjects in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and then looks back at Xi Yan on the bed, then People will be like a shrimp, with their backs to him and covered in a soft blanket.

Occasionally, he would "wake up" before the alarm clock in the morning. It was still daylight, and he couldn't tell whether it was sunlight or street lights coming in. Xi Yan had already changed his sleeping position, facing the bay window above his head with the back of his head—half lying down fell asleep.

Another example... now.

Xi Yan put his eyes on the skin of his arm, and buried his face in the crook of his arm.

Zhong Qin thought, Xi Yan is not an obedient person, but there are always times when he is particularly obedient.

Zhong Qin thought for a moment, he no longer needed to press Xi Yan's forehead to push people away.So, as he had always expected in his heart, he tightened his arms, and embraced Xi Yan, who was keeping a "polite distance" from him, in his direction.

In his sleep, Xi Xiaogou consciously put his light-sensitive eyes against Zhong Qin's neck.

When he was looking for a place he liked, he rubbed lightly, and the tip of his nose touched Zhong Qin's Adam's apple, which was a bit itchy.

... Zhong Qin has been a student god for so many years, and for the first time, he does not want to get up to go to class from the bottom of his heart.

After dawdling for another ten minutes, when it was time to turn from stepping on the clock to being late if he didn't get up, Zhong Qin showed a little bit of regret and reluctance, and retreated a little, trying to get his arm under Xi Yan's dog's head. Pull it out.

——Xi Yan woke up at this time.

Xi Yan half-opened his eyes in a daze, and there was a reassuring body temperature under his neck, and the target was Zhong Qin's obviously protruding Adam's apple.

Xi Yan is half awake, his brain is working slowly, and he vaguely realizes that he may be comfortably nestled in Zhong Qin's arms, and Zhong Qin——has been his boyfriend for several hours now.

Before Xi Yan had time to be embarrassed, he mumbled in a vaguely conscious way: "Hmm... Ah Qin? You haven't left yet... Am I finally more important than a dog?"

This time Zhong Qin got closer and finally heard what Xi Yan was saying.

Moreover, Zhong Qin felt that... on the morning of the joint sports meeting, Xi Yan woke up and opened his mouth to say this sentence to him.

Zhong Qin decided to be 2 minutes late, and asked this inexplicable sentence clearly: "Let's go now-what is more important than a dog?"

"Well," Xi Yan seemed to want to rub his eyes, but he was too lazy to raise his hands, so he leaned on Zhong Qin's neck and "rubbed" his eyes, and then said in a daze, "When you woke up in the morning... ...not in bed, either in class or feeding the dog... Anyway, don't sleep with me... Well, scumbag..."

Zhong Qin: "..."

His boyfriend inexplicably loves to compete with dogs.

Although this can't be said in front of Xiaogou Xi - but the scumbag really doesn't want to go to class today.

Zhong Qin sat up a little bit, Xi Yan immediately leaned over and hugged Zhong Qin's waist, his eyes were still closed, and his words were no longer forgiving: "You still run...you are my boyfriend now, you I can't run away..."

Zhong Qin looked down at the hairy head on his chest, and for a moment really didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.

... a little clingy.

But very well behaved.

Zhong Qin reached out and rubbed the top of Xi Yan's soft hair twice: "You are so obedient when you are sleeping, why are you so annoying when you are awake?"

Laying out of bed must have been more than 2 minutes late, Zhong Qin finally lifted Xi Yan up together, very ruthless.

The main reason was that the puppies downstairs hadn't come down to feed them at meal time, so they started throwing temper tantrums.

... If you can't leave people alone to accompany the dog, then go together.

Zhong Qin quickly tidied himself up, and before going out, he said to Xi Yan who was feeding the puppies: "Wait for Brother Yiheng and Sister Meng to go to work before you go for a walk with the dog. Don't go by yourself, you won't be able to take care of it."

Xi Yan squatted in front of the dog bowl, gave Zhong Qin a closed back, and said sullenly, "Oh."

Zhong Qin went to class with the corner of his mouth curled up, while Xi Yan...

Xi Yan recalled the scene of ten minutes ago when his weak willpower hung on Zhong Qin's body, and felt that no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't stand such torment.

I... How can I even say "you won't sleep with me"!

Xi Yan hugged Butter, wrapped his hands around its neck, and buried his face in its fur, exposing the tips of two red ears: "What a rascal...it's embarrassing..."

Butter was not in a hurry to grab food, and obediently stood in front of Xi Yan, giving him a hug.

It tilted its head, and one of its front paws was still fixed in mid-air in doubt, with a sensible look of "I don't know what Xi Yan is going crazy, but I have to comfort him".

And the Corgi cubs seemed to feel that no one was feeding them their revenge, so they all surrounded Xi Yan after they were full, pulling and tugging their little buttocks, and almost wrote a gloat on the dog's face.

Xi Yan became furious, pawed the pups a few times, and began to declare his sovereignty: "Your dog king is now mine! Round up! You are all my dogs now!"

The days when she and Zhong Qin changed from "dog-boy-boy" to "boyfriend-boyfriend relationship" started quietly, but for Xi Yan, he didn't actually feel the earth-shattering difference.

Because Zhong Qin, who was fully preparing for the competition, was too busy.

How busy are you?

Gao Chengliu was so busy that he greeted the teachers of each subject in advance and said that if Zhong Qin really couldn't hand in the homework on time, forget it.

At the moment of the competition, the homework is not grasped for the time being, as long as there is time to do it, just make up.

So Zhong Qin is always hurrying to do his homework in class.

The teacher who usually turned a blind eye to Zhong Qin's assignments for different subjects in class, now completely ignored him.

The National Youth Informatics Olympiad (NOI) is held around July and August, when senior high school students have graduated, so throughout their high school career, there are only two opportunities to participate in the summer vacation of the second year of senior high school and the summer vacation of the third year of senior high school.

The top [-] in the country enter the national team training camp and can get the qualification to recommend to prestigious schools.

Every year, the school puts the pressure on the sophomores to get good grades, but still encourages the freshmen to prepare seriously, because this is not only an experience, but also a valuable experience.

This year's NOI will be held on July [-]th and [-]th, leaving only one more month for students to prepare for the exam.

The sophomores are about to enter the sprint stage of full suspension of classes, and the freshmen of high school are still training at the seams despite the non-stop classes. For them, such things as weekends do not exist at all.

Zhong Qin sacrificed Saturdays and Sundays, and went from nine to nine on both days, continuing a single and boring high-intensity training camp.

While igniting the spirit of working, Xi Yan teased whether his alma mater will start to train "007" in the next step, and at the same time, he naturally put himself in the shape of a good wife, helping Zhong Qin to take care of "the other partner" Puppies.

One of the clerks of "Another Companion" left some time ago, only Zhang Yiheng and Chen Meng were left, and it was a little difficult when they were busy.

Originally, Zhong Qin wanted to recruit again, but was overruled by the stingy Xi Yan.

——Since it was Xi Yan who vetoed it with one vote, he also took the responsibility of taking care of the "other companion".

On Friday night, after evening self-study, Xi Yan and Zhong Qin would go back to the store together. The next morning when Zhong Qin went to class, Xi Yan would feed the dog and clean up.

In this way, when Zhang Yiheng and Chen Meng go to work, only one person needs to be responsible for the preparation work, and the other person will go for a walk with Xi Yan. After walking the dog, they can almost open for business when they come back.

When "Another Companion" opened, Xi Yan, who relieved Zhang Yiheng and Chen Meng's work burden by himself, stretched exaggeratedly and comfortably, and returned to his home refreshed.

Zhang Yiheng often patted Xi Yan on the shoulder and said, "I can't stand the little boss not paying you wages."

Whenever Zhang Yiheng said this, Xi Yan would wink at him cleverly: "Isn't this in my own shop? Talking about salary hurts feelings."

Zhang Yiheng will definitely look horrified: "What, you are finally usurping power?!"

Xi Yan didn't do anything else when he got home, and when he wasn't with his boyfriend, he passed the time by brushing up questions. After all, Zhong Qin himself might not have time to do his homework, let alone copy it for Xi Yan after finishing his homework. .

And...Xi Yan's speed of doing the questions is much faster now, and the homework that needs to be opened to finish is the finale of mathematics and physics.

Rather than copying, he prefers to keep the questions he doesn't know, accumulate them together, and leave them for Zhong Qin to help him when he is free.

During Zhong Qin's competition class, he deliberately compressed the time for eating to a very short time.

Zhong Qin will use the spare time left by this point to selectively pick some meaningful homework to write.

Xi Yan knew that Zhong Qin used his time very tightly on weekends, so he would not go to school to wait for him for dinner just to get tired of being together.

... Isn't his sensibility reflected in this?

But when Zhong Qin returns to "the other partner" at night, Xi Yan will definitely calculate the time and bring a group of cubs on leashes to wait for him at the door of the store.

——Next is the time for the young lovers to get bored.

Zhong Qin would throw his schoolbag into the store casually, then naturally took half of the dog leash from Xi Yan, locked the door without even entering the store, turned around and "bring the dog with the family" together with Xi Yan, Walk slowly side by side to the grassland of the red forest.

The temperature at night in early summer is not low, but the evening breeze is pleasantly cool and just right, blowing through the bustling and peaceful market here from time to time.

The puppies released from The Other Companion rolled in the wind-swept grass, and occasionally flocked to find other dogs to play with.

Zhong Qin stood by the grass, holding several dog leashes in his hand.

Xi Yan sat on Zhong Qin's feet very naturally, and chatted with the owner of another family who came out to walk the dog with a smile.

Zhong Qin seemed too lazy to complain about him, and he didn't like to talk most of the time, only occasionally when Xi Yan raised his head and asked him, "Are you Zhong Qin?", he would hum slightly.

The street lamps beside the grass cast dim yellow blossoms on the stone brick road beside the street.

Xi Yan's bright smile came into Zhong Qin's eyes, and time seemed to turn back...the day when Butter was still a puppy.

As it is on Saturday, so it is on Sunday.

Xi Yan was in charge of the morning work. During the day, he left the store to Zhang Yiheng and Chen Meng. At night, he came back to wait for Zhong Qin, and went to school together on Monday morning.

Although it sounds a bit tossing, this little life is really very regular, and when the time comes, he knows what he should do like a conditioned reflex, and Xi Yan even feels that he has never had such a good life.

Every day is something to look forward to.

Every day counts.

Every day is precious.

Of course, no matter how busy Zhong Qin is, he will definitely help Xi Yan look at the remaining problems in his homework for the day before going to bed.

After explaining the questions to Xi Yan, Xi Yan will go downstairs to take a bath with a satisfied expression of "I have also sublimated today", and after taking a bath, he will obediently lie on the bed and start to sleep.

Zhong Qinhui kept the white woven lamp in front of the desk, and while Xi Yan turned over from time to time and the rustling of the quilt, he quietly studied the questions for another two hours.

Xi Yan didn't know what time Zhong Qin went to bed, but when he woke up in the morning, none of the boyfriends around him got up again, leaving him to accompany the dog.

Driven by the incomparably satisfied mood, Xi Yan would hug Zhong Qin very, very tightly in the morning.

...Generally, after hugging for a while, Xi Puppy would be the first to let go of his hands disheveledly, and then stumbled out of bed in a hurry, using the excuse of washing to cover up his embarrassing reaction from hugging someone.

At this time, Zhong Qin was thrown on the bed by her boyfriend... feeling her "youthful vitality" alone.

Of course, some things will still change quietly.

For example... Xi Yan somehow became a little thin-skinned.

Whenever Zhong Qin watched Xi Yan's back running away in a hurry early in the morning, without exception, he would feel that...

Seems like summer is here.
