Disciplinary Guidelines

On the first day of Jiang Heng's 24th birthday, he shared his birthday with others after a long absence, and gave away half of his birthday cake.

When he ordered the cake, he obviously didn't expect that he would have such a taste, so he ordered the size very conservatively, so the whole birthday cake was divided, and no one present could feed it.

No way, Jiang Heng could only take out the previous preparatory options, and drove back to Wangfujing with Ji Yao to have a hot pot supper before sending him back to school.

The birthday cake seemed to have eliminated some kind of barrier between them, Ji Yao put on his seat belt and joked before leaving: "I thought you wouldn't send me back to school tonight."

"No rush." ​​Jiang Heng still said the same thing: "It's still early."

Ji Yao shrugged his shoulders dispensably. He got out of the car and took two steps. When he turned his head, he saw Jiang Heng's car was still in place, so he thought for a while, then turned back and knocked on his car window.

The car window moved down quickly, revealing Jiang Heng's face.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Heng asked.

Now it was approaching midnight, the road in front of the school was deserted, Ji Yao raised his hand to support the roof of the car, lowered his head under the cover of his arm, and kissed Jiang Heng quickly.

"The birthday cake is delicious." Ji Yao said, "Order one for me in two weeks."

Jiang Heng blinked.

"It's mango flavored." Ji Yao added.

Jiang Heng quickly realized the implication of this sentence, so he bent his eyes and smiled, and said, "What a coincidence—is there any gift you want?"

"The cake must be bigger." Ji Yao said and patted him on the shoulder: "Happy birthday."

As he spoke, he straightened up, took out something from his coat pocket and threw it into the cab, then waved his hand, turned his head and left.

Jiang Heng watched him enter the school gate before unpacking the perfunctory little gift box in his hand.

The gift box was only half the size of a palm. It was obviously bought on the spur of the moment. The receipt was taken away, but the receipt was still inside. Jiang Heng lifted the lid and saw that it was a pair of sapphire cufflinks.

Jiang Heng remembered that Jiyao had gone out for more than ten minutes during the meal. At that time, he thought that the other party had some personal affairs to deal with. Now that he thought about it, he probably went to buy this thing.

Jiang Heng suddenly smiled, and changed into a shirt on the spot in a good mood.

"Happy birthday," he said.

The winter night wind blew through the thin branches of the street trees, the headlights of the cars flashed across the road, and soon disappeared into the traffic flow at the intersection.

Ji Yao wrapped his clothes tightly and walked slowly towards the dormitory facing the cold wind.He touched the corner of his lips, vaguely feeling that there was still a little warmth left there.

How did things develop like this, Ji Yao couldn't help thinking.

When he kissed Jiang Heng at the traffic light, he actually had a desire for revenge in his heart.He was annoyed by his parents' unreasonable accusations and discipline, and felt wronged, so he wanted to just settle the charge—anyway, he liked Jiang Heng very much, and accepted him smoothly, which was fine.

He followed Jiang Heng's impulsive instinct and kissed Jiang Heng. He should have broken his mind with him and had a dewy relationship called a romantic affair, but he didn't know if it was because the strawberry cake tasted so good, so Ji Yao dismissed the idea himself.

He was suddenly not in a hurry to determine something so hastily, and he had the idea that it would be good to take it slowly.

Let things take their course and things will happen when conditions are right—Ji Yao began to wonder what step Jiang Heng could make, and also felt that it would be a pity if he was too impatient in the face of someone like Jiang Heng.

So during the whole meal afterwards, neither he nor Jiang Heng mentioned the matter of confirming the relationship. The two of them seemed to have tacitly agreed to a certain relationship of closeness, but they tacitly did not take the initiative to pierce the window paper.

It only takes 21 days to form a habit. When Jiang Heng suddenly discovered that the period of tacit ambiguity between him and Ji Yao had exceeded his previous "love preservation period", Ji Yao's dialog box had already stopped at the top of his WeChat. For a long time.

The frequency of their meeting is neither too much nor too little, once or twice a week when they are busy, and two or three times when they are free.But no matter what, there are always one or two things every month that are ambiguous and private, and we will make an appointment to do together.

"Student Ji is awesome." Ge Xing's voice came from the receiver, with a bit of a hangover nasal voice: "This is simply the urban love version of One Thousand and One Nights. Find something exciting from time to time. The common goal of hanging in the meeting, hanging in the air will lengthen the battle line, wonderful."

"Hmm." Jiang Heng stood in front of the closet, picking and choosing, folded the thick coat and down jacket and put them in the dust bag, then took out the slightly thinner shirt and coat, shook them, and hung them in the closet: "I also I think so."

Ge Xing: "..."

There was a rare two seconds of silence on the other side of the phone receiver. After a long while, Boss Ge said sarcastically: "Your reaction, why do I feel like you two are fishing for each other."

Jiang Heng burst into laughter: "Really? Don't think of me as a scourge."

"Forget it, I can't ask you anything." Ge Xing on the other side of the phone muttered, and turned the phone in dissatisfaction: "So come out tomorrow to have fun? Bluebar is newly opened, and a superstar was invited for the opening ceremony." Awesome underground band."

"No." Jiang Heng said, "I have an appointment."

"You didn't come again." Ge Xing complained: "I just called Ji Yao, and he also said that he is not available—you two are dating again, right? You just met last week."

Jiang Heng adjusted the crooked Bluetooth headset, and couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

"Some things, even if you know the answer, ask, do you ask for it yourself?" Jiang Heng said.

"It's been more than three months, and you two are still so tired of being together." Ge Xing said in shock: "Are you really here this time?"

"Which time did I not come for real?" Jiang Heng said lightly: "For love, it is good for everyone to separate without feelings. Of course, those who have feelings must continue. It is not Cinderella. It is difficult to fall in love for more than a month. Turn into the Pumpkin Prince?"

He was as slippery as a loach, and he couldn't make a single sentence with eight poles. The senior matchmaker, Boss Ge, was scratching his ears and cheeks, wishing to get into their mobile phones and watch live to see how far the two of them had developed.

"Forget it, you—you wait!" Boss Ge yelled dissatisfiedly: "I decided to question you face to face."

Ge Xing said that the wind was the rain, so he hung up the phone immediately, and punctually appeared at Jiang Heng's door two or ten minutes later, knocking on his door.

"Good guy, at 07:30, there is a traffic jam on the inner ring." Jiang Heng was shocked by Ge Hongniang's efficiency: "Why did you come so fast?"

Ge Xing pulled Jiang Heng away from the outside world, rushed into the room and poured a glass of water, and then he seemed to come to life. He fell down on the sofa and asked angrily: "Confess, be frank and be lenient." , Resist and be strict."

"Explain what?" Jiang Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and walked over with his mobile phone: "Are you chasing after me to ask for a red envelope? Come, come, tell me the number—"

Ge Xing flicked away his cell phone, not going to give him a chance to make jokes.

"I don't understand." Ge Xing said solemnly: "Do you two have that intention? If not, make room for it quickly. Don't double 1 mess with each other, occupying what or what. Give it to those comrades who are number 0." Opportunities, there are people lined up holding love number plates."

"Sometimes I can't understand you." Jiang Heng said sincerely: "You said that when I was single, you matched us to death, and now we are together, and you are here to make a second spring——You picture What?"

"Look, let's admit it, isn't that enough?" Ge Xing said, "Anyway, you both are interesting, so let's settle it early. Why are you here enjoying the benefits of being single and flirting?"

"What's the rush?" Jiang Heng poured Ge Xing a glass of water again: "It's not a quick meal, just fill your stomach."

Jiang Heng couldn't explain why, he just instinctively enjoyed this comfortable feeling.The kind of ambiguous and tacit intimacy does not pass away because of time, but becomes more subtle because of the superposition of each other's lives and the fusion of friendship circles.

Just like Ge Xing, most of the friends in the circle have heard about the two of them, so when they talk about one of them, they will naturally mention the other.

This default sense of belonging and intimacy made Jiang Heng feel fresh, and because the other party was Ji Yao, he didn't hate it.

"I still admire him." Ge Xing said with emotion: "How did he catch you, this can be a lesson."

"It's nothing, I'm easy to raise." Jiang Heng leaned against the bedroom door and said with a smile, "He gave me half of the unfinished birthday cake."

Ge Xing obviously didn't believe this nonsense, and rolled his eyes at him bluntly.

"But you just came here, so I don't need to tell you extra." Jiang Heng said: "Don't look for me next week, I have appointments."

"Why?" Ge Xing finally saw the suitcase opened on the floor of the bedroom behind him, and said angrily, "You two are going to retreat for double cultivation?"

"I finished my dissertation, just in time for A Yao's vacation, so I'm planning to go to Japan for a while." Jiang Heng said: "Seven days and six nights, you may not be able to find us."

The fun of the ambiguous period is addictive, but like a bowstring, no matter how tough it is, it can't just be dragged.

Jiang Heng has recently detected Ji Yao's attitude vaguely, and feels that it is almost time to move forward.

"You can do it." Ge Xing gave him a thumbs up in admiration: "I didn't expect, Huanhuan, you are really serious this time, and you are going to bathe in Tangquan Palace after falling in love."

Jiang Heng: "..."
