Dead rivals overturned each other

Eight years ago.

An ordinary Saturday.

Zhou Liang put his schoolbag on his back, and sat on the bench to put on his shoes. The off-white Kuangbai was unstained, and the shoelaces were tied neatly.

The school uniform pants are always rolled up, no matter how cold the wind is, the ankles must be exposed, and the shoelaces are always tied in a fancy way. The same Converse, the other party will tie the knot around the heel.

In addition to learning, he is proficient in all crooked ways.

Just as he was about to open the door, his mother greeted him and stuffed the bento bag into his hand, "I ate this afternoon tea during recess, made some more, and remember to share it with my classmates."

Zhou Liang pushed it, but couldn't resist the concern in his mother's eyes, so he had to put it on.

The driver was already at the door, and when he saw him coming out, he enthusiastically reached out to help him carry the bag, but Zhou Mu avoided him, "Uncle Dong, I'm going to the cram school by myself today, so there's no need to drop it off."

After speaking, he put on his earphones, pushed open the iron gate of the yard and left.

Random English broadcasts are playing in the earphones.

It is an article about foreign maritime transportation, and there is no lack of the word ship throughout the article.

The cram school was near the school, so he got on the bus and searched for "cruise ship" at the same time.

Cruiseship;

What about the Titanic, he couldn't help thinking.

The bus slammed on the brakes, and he quickly grabbed the handrail, and his head was instantly awake.

I don't know why I thought of this, and forced myself to continue listening to the radio, but found that I couldn't understand it, and I had already missed a large section.

Two 10 minutes later.

Standing in front of the movie theater, the tip of his nose was filled with the sweetness of popcorn, and he frowned speechlessly.

I don't understand why he came here when he was going to cram school.

He quickly found a reason for himself, he came to reject Xu Zhuo.

That's right, he had to clearly tell the other party that it was impossible for the two of them, so that he could completely die. He had a clear distinction between likes and dislikes. If he liked it, he liked it, and if he didn't like it, he didn't like it.

I checked the time on my phone, it was 12:49.

The movie is at one o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Zhuo should be here soon.

until 12:58.

All the people queuing up to enter the arena had left, but Zhou Liang still didn't see Xu Zhuo.

Is there any mistake? It's obviously the person he took the initiative to ask out. What does it mean if he doesn't show up?

Zhou Liang felt that it was extremely funny for him to be waiting all the time, so he shook his head, turned around and left.

"Zhou Mu?!"

Zhou Mu, who had just taken a step, suddenly stopped and came back following the sound.

At first glance, Xu Zhuo, who was rushing from [-] miles away, was holding his knees, panting, and his cheeks were rosy from the exercise.

The point is, he was wearing a black velvet fabric suit with large square shoulders that he picked up from someone who didn't know where. He was wearing a purple corduroy shirt inside. He had a turmeric silk scarf tied around his neck and tied a bow tie. His hair was combed back meticulously with pomade , and also brought a pretentious sunglasses.

Live like a butterfly.

Zhou Mu: "..."

As if he didn't see it, his gaze pierced him.

Xu Zhuo raised his hand and shook desperately in front of him: "Hey!"

Zhou Liang thought: Don't call me, I don't know you.

Seeing that the people around them looked at them with strange eyes.

Zhou Liang just wanted to leave quickly, but Xu Zhuo wouldn't give him a chance, tugging at his clothes, "You are also here to watch the movie, right?"

Afraid that he might misunderstand, Zhou Liang hurriedly said, "I don't want to watch it, I have to go to cram school at 01:30."

"Oh."

Studying on weekdays and studying on weekends, this person is really boring.

Xu Zhuo complained in his heart, his eyes swept across the lobby of the cinema, it was already one o'clock, but he didn't see Xu Zili's figure.

Zhou Liang's heart is full of twists and turns, and he refuses him to watch the movie. Does it mean that he obviously doesn't mean that to him?

Xu Zhuo turned around in front of him, "Do I look good today?"

I haven't recovered from running just now, and my breathing is still short.

For this first date in his life, he had spent the entire morning dressing up, and was almost late.

The corners of Zhou Liang's mouth twitched, "Can you tell me how beautiful it is?"

Xu Zhuo heard his sarcasm, and said unconvinced: "My whole body is the latest GUCC fashion show this year, okay! How fashionable! You don't understand, you idiot."

Zhou Liang's lips moved twice, and for the first time, he did not continue to complain.

Clothes are good-looking, but it also depends on whether they fit or not.

But in order to see him, he dresses up quietly, if he still speaks nasty words, he will be too ignorant.

It seems that Xu Zhuo really likes himself, so hard.

He has a headache, if he refuses directly according to the original plan, will it be too cruel.

Running so thirsty, Xu Zhuo licked his lips.

He looked at the sales office at the front of the theater, and there was a long line of people buying popcorn and drinks. He was not a patient person, so he gave up buying drinks.

Zhou Liang pointed to the vending machine next to it, "There is mineral water."

Xu Zhuo shook his head, "I don't like to drink plain water, forget it, I can bear it."

Zhou Liang added another addition to the little book in his mind that specifically recorded Xu Zhuo's shortcomings - picky eaters.

But Xu Zhuo in front of him was so thirsty that he began to swallow his saliva. Zhou Liang thought that he might make the other party sad and hopeless later, and his conscience felt a little bit hard, so he opened the lunch bag in his hand and handed it to Xu Zhuo.

Xu Zhuo saw the passion fruit tea in the transparent bottle at a glance, his eyes lit up, but he hesitated: "Can you drink it for me?"

Zhou Liang made a gesture to zip it up, but Xu Zhuo quickly grabbed the bag and poured fruit tea into his mouth.

Quenching and refreshing, he drank the whole thing in one gulp, Xu Zhuo still couldn't get enough of it, "Zhou Jiu, where did you buy this tea, it's so delicious!"

I also want to see if it is in the bag.

Zhou Mu took a deep breath, "Try calling me by my name again..."

"Wow, there are Oreo mochi, biscuit scones, and thick black pepper fries!" Xu Zhuo was eager to report the name of the dish, but he was too embarrassed to speak. When he returned the bag to Zhou Liang, his eyes were still fixed. Hang on the bag.

He is often too lazy to eat breakfast, and spends time dressing up at noon, and has not eaten a bite since he got up.

Zhou Liang took a step back, fearing that he might drip saliva on his shoes, so he stuffed the bag into his arms, "Eat quickly, don't leave anything behind."

Xu Zhuo immediately found a seat and began to eat.

He eats other people's food and still doesn't forget to take other people's food as a favor, and he reluctantly gave up the last piece of French fries and threw it in front of Zhou Liang, "Here."

Zhou Liang was expressionless: "My mother made it, and I can eat it every day."

Without saying a word, Xu Zhuo turned his hand instantly, put it in his mouth, and sighed vaguely, "Oh my god, these are all made by my aunt. Auntie's craftsmanship is amazing!"

Zhou Liang sat down next to him, watching him eat so much sauce, "It's so annoying."

Disgustedly took out a tissue and threw it in his face.

But Xu Zhuo was genuinely happy and satisfied, and this emotion seemed to be contagious, and the corners of Zhou Liang's mouth turned up slightly, but he quickly suppressed it.

Suddenly two men walked by in front of them, they were ordinary at first, but the taller one scratched the palm of the shorter one with his fingertips, the shorter one looked around in a panic, and beat the taller one's shoulder shyly.

The two whispered and entered the theater.

They did it very carefully, but Zhou Liang and Xu Zhuo happened to be sitting and saw clearly.

Zhou Liang noticed that Xu Zhuo was staring at the two of them, so he pondered for a moment and said, "I don't think boys will be happy with boys."

He felt that what he said was very straightforward, no matter how stupid Xu Zhuo was, he should understand it.

Hearing this, Xu Zhuo turned his head and looked at him.

On the contrary, Zhou Mu felt embarrassed and turned his head.

"Have you tried it?" Xu Zhuo suddenly said.

Zhou Mu subconsciously said, "Of course not..."

Xu Zhuo said, "Then you have no right to speak."

Zhou Mu was taken aback.

Xu Zhuo didn't intend to continue talking with him about this, because he found that there were still a few things wrapped in candy wrappers in the lunch bag, so he picked it up and looked, "Hey, the beef cubes, are they also made by auntie?"

"Ah."

"I really like eating beef cubes!" Xu Zhuo couldn't wait to peel it off, put it in his mouth, and chewed it with enjoyment, "Good-good-eat! I'm so envious of you."

"You won't envy me." Zhou Liang seemed to be talking to himself, with a very soft voice.

It was so light that Xu Zhuo didn't hear clearly at all, "Zhou Jing, what did you just say?"

Zhou Mu didn't bother to correct his strange name, "The method is very simple, you can do it with an oven, you can do it yourself..." He felt that Xu Zhuo didn't seem like a person who could do it by himself, "Or let your mother do it .”

Xu Zhuo peeled another one and put it in his mouth, "My mother is very busy and rarely cooks for me. I used to have an aunt, but I don't like strangers at home, so I basically order takeaway."

Zhou Mu: "Where's your father?"

"I fell ill and died when I was five years old."

Zhou Mu was silent for a moment, "I'm sorry."

Xu Zhuo looked at him unexpectedly.

Zhou Mu coughed lightly, "Last time you asked me to join your gaming family, I joked that I wanted to be you...I take it back."

Xu Zhuo didn't pay much attention, "It's okay, you didn't know it at the time, and when my father left, I was still young, so I won't be sad if I don't have any impression."

On the contrary, Zhou Mu's direct apology made Xu Zhuo's heart burn.

Xu Zhuo was playing with the candy wrappers of beef jerky. Zhou Liang's character was not like someone who would say these three words easily, but he said it so sincerely.

Picking up the phone, Xu Zhuo looked at the time, the movie has started for 10 minutes.

It seems that Xu Zili will not come.

The first time he took the initiative to chase someone, it ended in a tragic failure. The other party didn't even show up. Although Xu Zhuo didn't care very much, he was still depressed.

What hurt him was not that he didn't come, but——

It's too embarrassing.

He hung his head and thought.

Although what he said was fine, Zhou Liang looked at his unmotivated look, and felt a bit of annoyance in his heart, why do you have to ask someone about his family.

Are you familiar with him? Why do you care about these things that have nothing to do with you? Your cram school is about to start.

Forget it, it's not suitable to say anything about rejection today, he decided to say it later.

Zhou Mu got up slowly, "I'm leaving."

Xu Zhuo: "Oh."

Return the empty bento bag to him.

Zhou Mu took two steps and couldn't help but look back.

Xu Zhuo huddled on the bench, his large and ill-fitting suit looked very small and pitiful, and he still held two movie tickets tightly in his hand.

Five seconds later, the double Converse stopped in front of Xu Zhuo, and he raised his head in confusion.

Zhou Liang touched his nose, "I suddenly want to watch a movie too."

Zhou Liang ushered in skipping class for the first time in his life.

……

three hours later.

Zhou Liang looked at the fashionable gucca boy beside him who was crying and whimpering, and felt that it was God's punishment for him skipping class.

He admits that this movie is very touching, but most men don't shed tears easily. Although the men in the whole hall shed a lot of tears, most of them endured it.

Only Xu Zhuo started crying when the movie was in the middle, and finally he didn't have to bear it anymore and could cry aloud after the movie was over.

He was the one who cried the loudest in the room.

After the show ended, many spectators passed by their seats, amused by Xu Zhuo's miserable state.

Zhou Mu helped his forehead, if he hadn't been sitting inside and it was difficult to get out, he might have left a long time ago.

Xu Zhuo cried until his eyes and nose were red. Seeing that Zhou Liang seemed to be fine, he cried and cursed:

"Cold-blooded."

"ruthless."

"Why don't you cry."

Zhou Liang: "This is a rerun. I've seen it online before."

Xu Zhuo was stunned, "You still watch it after seeing it? You...you specially watch it with me?"

Zhou Liang hurriedly said, "I advise you to do more homework and less dreaming."

Xu Zhuo was still sobbing, as if finally starting to feel ashamed, he covered his face with a tissue.

Zhou Mu was completely overwhelmed by him, "As for being so uncomfortable?"

Xu Zhuo got into the drama too deeply, "What makes me sad is whether it is impossible for a person to love only one person in his whole life."

"What?" Zhou Liang thought that what he was sad about was the death of the hero, but he didn't expect it to be so strange.

Xu Zhuo looked sad, "It's because Jack sacrificed his life for Ruth to survive. Ruth must have married someone else in the end, otherwise how could there be her granddaughter's narration at the beginning? I definitely don't mean moral kidnapping. After all, Jack It’s her freedom to do whatever she wants to do after she’s gone, and Jack definitely wants her to live well. But it’s just sad, and it’s a pity to think of her marrying someone else and having children. The saddest thing is that this movie has a prototype, and the prototype seems to be like this. "

Zhou Mu was silent, as if thinking about his words.

After the end of the film, the cleaning aunt came in and was clearing the scene.

Zhou Mu casually said a word of comfort:

"No, a person can only love one person in his life."

Xu Zhuo looked up at him, "Really?"

Before Zhou Mu could reply, he added another sentence:

"Then show me what you do."

Zhou Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What should I do?"

Seeing his aunt walking towards the two of them, Zhou Liang picked up Xu Zhuo who was crying so hard, "Let's go out first."

The exit of the movie hall is a long dark corridor, covered with thick blankets, and the footsteps on it are almost silent.

But Xu Zhuo's soft voice came from Zhou Mu's ear:

"I'm sure I can do it."

He was startled, and looked back at Xu Zhuo, the light was very dim, but the other party's eyes were shining with visible light.

"Zhou Liang, if you hear the following, forget it. My mother is Chinese. She grew up abroad. She was educated in the West. She is more open-minded. She only came to China after marrying my father. As far as I can remember , She has changed many boyfriends, including university professors, business bosses, American rappers, and even British gentleman writers.

I'm wearing the clothes she left at home for her newest boyfriend, a fashion director.

I should have inherited my dad, so I'm sure I can do it.I seem to be the only one in this family who remembers Dad, but I remember him as a very gentle person. "

Walking out of the corridor, Zhou Liang was subconsciously good at the light outside.

After knowing it, this movie seems to be a bit touching, and his eyes are inexplicably sour.

Zhou Mu thought, he did not call his name by mistake just now.

-

Sophomore.

Xu Zhuo, who saw a movie with Zhou Liang in a daze on Saturday, felt that the friendship between the two should be much deeper anyway.

So when he was in math class on Monday, he crossed the "[-]th line" lawlessly.

The passion of aspiring to be a painter is gradually exhausted in the current situation where he can't even control the brush well. Painting is still interesting to watch other people paint.

Painting is not as interesting as his deskmate.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhuo pushed away the pen and paper on the table. As soon as the get out of class bell rang, he was going to take all these things to the life department for donation!

What the teacher wrote on the blackboard was like a heavenly book. Xu Zhuo felt dizzy after looking at it twice, so he propped his chin and turned to look at the classmate Zhou Liang at the same table:

"Hey, why don't I go to the same university with you."

The pen in Zhou Mu's hand paused.

Xu Zhuo smiled, "Does it sound great?"

Zhou Liang continued to copy notes, "Please don't curse me for failing the college entrance examination."

Xu Zhuo: "..."

He leaned closer, "I'm serious, I study hard, you teach me more, I'm not stupid, I will definitely be admitted to B University with you."

Being too close, his warm breath fell on Zhou Liang's neck, and the latter's Adam's apple slipped, pushing back the paper, pen and people that crossed the line, "That's because I'm stupid, forgive me for being incompetent. "

Xu Zhuo wanted to speak again, the math teacher on the podium tapped a chalk on the blackboard, "Xu Zhuo!! If you continue to harass Zhou Liang, I will tell your class teacher to go! Do you know that because of you, last week's weekly exam, he only took the math test No.2 in the class, one point back!!"

Xu Zhuo, No.2 from the bottom of the class: "Sorry, I made a big mistake."

The whole class laughed.

Xu Zhuo, who was afraid of being sued by the math teacher, dared to speak up, not because he was afraid of being reprimanded by the head teacher. He was used to it from a young age and had many ways to deal with it. What he was afraid of was that the head teacher would change his position.

Then his fun is gone!

He had no choice but to look for a math book, trying to pretend to listen to it, but he couldn't find it on the table, and then went to the drawer. Because the drawer hadn't been cleaned for a long time and was full of things, there were no crumpled papers or a pen. The pencil case and movie ticket stubs all fell to the ground because of his actions.

He was still muttering: "Where are the books..."

Zhou Mu was speechless: "When the cockroaches come, you have to open the navigation in the drawer."

Xu Zhuo squinted at him, did this man's mouth have been wiped with dichlorvos, why is it so poisonous!

He couldn't find the math book, so he pulled out a geography book and pretended.

But in private, he was fussy. He stretched his left foot over his desk, and his calf touched Zhou Mu's calf.

He didn't show it on his face, but he still asked Zhou Liang with an upright face, and warned Zhou Liang with his eyes, "Please take back your reverent eyes, and don't disturb my study."

Zhou Liang turned around speechlessly, just after writing a word, the hot legs below were pasted again.

Xu Zhuo triumphantly approached and retracted, repeated several times, as if practicing the peerless legs in a martial arts movie.

He reviewed the tape on the weekend, and felt that his deskmate was typically hard-spoken and soft-hearted.Otherwise, how could he skip class to watch a movie with him who is alone? He still doesn't believe that he can't subdue this kid!

Stretching his legs again, he made a gap.

Not in a panic, Xu Zhuo's legs were rubbing on the ground to search, and the next moment, a force of gravity stepped on his instep.

"I'll go—" he roared, gasped, and retracted his feet tremblingly.

He gritted his teeth and stared at Zhou Liang. This guy actually had a bad foot and dared to step on him!

Zhou Liang gleefully glanced in the direction of the podium.

Only then did Xu Zhuo realize that the whole class was looking at him silently, and the math teacher's face was purple with anger, "Xu Zhuo, you..."

And Xu Zhuo immediately stood up from his seat, and the chair rubbed against the ground making a harsh sound, "Teacher, there are mice, help!"

The surrounding male and female students were suddenly frightened, and the whole classroom became a field of Shura, and everyone exclaimed, where is the mouse? !

Zhou Liang stared coldly at the students who were huddled together, but did not move.

No, he is not celibate.

Xu Zhuo, who had successfully retired, was beside him, leaning on the chair with a bitter face at Zhou Mu, pretending to cry:

"Oh, my feet hurt, I need you to accompany me to the bathroom after class."

Zhou Mu looked at him quietly for a while, "It's a pity not to become an actor if you are so good at acting."

Xu Zhuo's eyes lit up immediately, "So, does University B have an acting department?"
