Chapter 42

　　He Chao held half a cigarette in his hand, surrounded by the smell of smoke. He didn't know why he felt like he had been caught doing something bad. He was silent for a while before he said: "You're not good...not yet." Sleeping?"

　　Probably because he had just finished smoking, He Chao's voice sounded much hoarse, low and deep, and even the tail tone dropped.

　　After saying that, he released his fingers, and the cigarette fell directly to the ground, and then he didn't know what to say.

　　This was the first time Xie Yu saw He Chao like this, or rather, He Chao like this.

　　When he met He Chao, this big fool had already started to quit smoking, chewing candy and holding a stick in his mouth all day long. Xie Yu smelled the smell of nicotine in the air, and suddenly wondered what the feared East Building boss looked like when he was in his freshman year of high school.

　　Is it like this now?

　　The overall aura is low, but he looks very strong and even a little violent. A bit sleepy and bad-tempered.

　　"I'm going to use the bathroom first," Xie Yu used the same joke He Chao had used before, but it was an enhanced version. He turned around and said, "Fuck you, just stay here and don't move around."

　　He Chao said, "Ah . After making a sound, Xie Yu walked past him and then remembered: "Why are you going to the toilet here?" If

　　nothing else, the accommodation conditions in No. 2 Middle School are notoriously good, with air conditioning and private bathrooms, and spacious bedrooms. Also big.

　　Xie Yu's voice came from far away: "The water pipe is leaking, please report it for repair."

　　He Chao sat on the steps and did not move.

　　He actually went to bed very early and lay down after taking a shower. However, he woke up again after a dream. When he woke up, he was covered in sweat. Then on this crisp autumn day, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

　　The words that came over and over again in his ears were what Lei Jun said in his ear when Lei Jun suddenly approached him in the restaurant: "He Chao, you hurt Er Lei like this, why don't you just die.

　　" Even in his dream, he felt as if an invisible hand was holding his throat, suffocating him, and he couldn't say anything.

　　He Chao lowered his head, took the lighter in his hand and played with it. He pressed it down with a "click" sound, and the small flame burst out.

　　When you release it again, the area where your thumb is pressing gradually becomes hot, starting from the fingertips upwards.

　　Lei Jun is now Brother Jun. He is a fourth-year student at the Electrical Technology College, and he repeated the grade for a year. He can't be said to be a school bully, but after reaching this level, all the "big brothers" in electronics in the past are almost gone, and the burden falls on him.

　　Although they are like enemies every time they meet now, in the past... they were good buddies.

　　When he was in junior high school, although He Chao was popular and knew everyone, he had few real friends. Later, I met Lei Jun in a canteen. Lei Jun was in love, holding a bottle of Coke and drinking it as wine. There was a boy beside him who kept comforting him: "Women come and go, but I am still here, brother."

　　Lei Jun He said, "Er Lei, do you like me? But I don't like men."

　　That's how we got to know each other.

　　Because Lei Jun and Fang Xiaolei's grades were so poor, the teacher basically didn't care about them. As long as they didn't affect other students' studies, they turned a blind eye to them.

　　At the beginning, He Chao was really the hope of the whole village, an outstanding alumnus in the eyes of everyone in the future.

　　For this future outstanding alumnus to play with two poor students, the teachers in all subjects were worried, especially the head teacher: "Have less contact with them, you are different from them."

　　How bad can a kid in junior high school be? Go, I haven't even started to get involved in society yet, so my grades are pretty low.

　　Every time He Chao said: "Teacher, for example, if I become bad, I can't blame others...it's my own problem, not to mention I'm pretty good now, can I stop being prejudiced against other students?" ?"

　　He Chao thought and suddenly lay back, crossing his hands and resting his head on his neck.

　　He was wearing thin clothes, and when he lay down, he felt a chill coming from his back through the fabric of his clothes.

　　Not long after He Chaogang lay down, Xie Yu washed his hands, walked up the steps, and sat down next to him: "Do you still have your candy?"

　　He Chao thought he wanted to eat it: "There seems to be another one in your pocket. You Look for it."

　　Seeing that the handsome guy had no intention of moving, Xie Yu reached out and asked, "Which way?"

　　He Chao said, "On the left."

　　He Chao's shirt was obviously short-sleeved and had no pockets. He stretched his hand halfway and paused.

　　In fact, He Chao himself had forgotten it. He thought he was wearing the piece of love and peace, so he remembered stuffing a handful into his pocket when he went out in the morning. When Xie Yu's hand touched his thigh through the fabric, he suddenly woke up.

　　"..."

　　He Chao was wearing a pair of low-waisted jeans. Black, holes.

　　Xie Yu lowered his head and groped in his trouser pocket for a long time, but found nothing. However, he noticed that the man next to him was getting stiffer and stiffer.

　　He Chao couldn't lie down anymore. He sat up and subconsciously held Xie Yu's wrist. The boy's skin was warm, and the bulging joint on his wrist pressed against his palm.

　　He cursed in his mind, "Holy shit."

　　"I remember wrong," He Chao said, "There is no sugar, it's in the dormitory. If you want it, I..."

　　He Chao rolled over before he finished speaking, stood up with his hands on the ground, and then took three steps together. He took two steps and walked down the steps. He didn't even step on the last few steps and jumped down directly. The corners of his clothes were blown up by the wind beside him.

　　Like flying.

　　Xie Yu sat on the steps, wondering why this man was so crazy.

　　A few minutes later, He Chao came back holding a tin can. It was quite a big one, bigger than the sugar bowl on the desk that he saw in his dormitory before. He probably brought all his personal belongings with him.

　　There is a dazzling array of dishes, with every taste available.

　　He Chao opened the lid and handed it to Xie Yu: "Here." Here you go.

　　Xie Yu took it, held it on his knees, carefully picked it for a long time, and finally pulled out a strawberry-flavored lollipop from the bottom.

　　He Chao just watched, watching the cold-hearted child unwrap the candy wrapper, and then unexpectedly heard a word pop out of Xie Yu's mouth, and he dragged it back: "Ah."

　　He Chao: "Ah?"

　　It was just a single syllable. As soon as He Chao opened his mouth, Xie Yu directly stuffed the candy into his mouth, quickly and accurately. The sweet and cloying taste instantly spreads on the tip of the tongue, dissipating the bitter tobacco smell just now.

　　"Eat, kid," Xie Yu seemed very happy to be able to return the title of 'kid'. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but his tone was habitually cold, "After eating, remember to brush your teeth."

　　He Chao was stunned. He was stunned. He didn't react until he heard that he was brushing his teeth. He held the candy in his mouth and said, "You..."

　　He Chao stopped mid-sentence and said, "Forget it, I'll let you do it once."

　　When He Chao ran back The sensor light that came on went out again.

　　After a while, Xie Yu asked: "That trash, old friend?"

　　"Brother Jun? His name is Lei Jun." He Chao said, "My junior high school classmate is not a bad person, but he and I... have some grudges."

　　He saw it.

　　Xie Yuxin said that if he was really such a stupid thing, they wouldn't be able to leave so easily. The fight was quite fair and they would disperse after the fight.

　　He has seen a lot of idiots on Blackwater Street, the kind who will continue to mess with you even if they just can't call someone. It's like a dog-skin plaster, which can't be peeled off even if half of your skin is stained. Lose.

　　Either you are more ruthless than him, or you are more stupid than him, then he will be afraid of you.

　　Xie Yu didn't ask any more questions. He Chao didn't know what to say.

　　——Actually, I am a super genius. It's not that I have bad grades at all. I'm afraid I'll be beaten to death if I say this.

　　He Chao was thinking about it, but suddenly, a few words started to ring in his ears again.

　　"He Chao, the teacher will solve this matter. You can prepare for the exam with peace of mind and bring glory to the school."

　　The head teacher's face was a little blurry, but there was a clear smile on the woman's lips: "I know you and know that you are a good child. This is the scene. It's an accident, and you didn't mean it... don't think about it too much."

　　He Chao slowly closed his eyes and then opened them again. Xie Yu had already gotten up and was going back to the dormitory to sleep.

　　He Chao didn't know what he was thinking. He grabbed the corner of Xie Yu's clothes and tried to reach out to pull him. As soon as his hand touched the soft fabric, he reacted and let go.

　　Xie Yu's feet were not stable on the edge of the steps. He pulled them loose and his body lost stability. Before falling down, he suppressed his words: "... He Chao, are you fucking sick?"

　　The next day.

　　Luo Wenqiang was cheering for the remaining athletes who had not yet competed. By the way, he looked ahead to the awards for his class's men's 3,000-meter long-distance race. He had even won the first and second place unilaterally.

　　"Our class is stable this time. Our class is also one of the best in the grade, okay? Although our cultural scores are at the bottom, our sports scores are awesome! With Brother Chao and Brother Yu..."

　　Luo Wenqiang continued. Before he finished speaking, he saw He Chao helping Xie Yu come in from the back door.

　　"...These two, uh, two long-distance runners," Luo Wenqiang choked, "What happened to you?"

　　Xie Yu put ointment on his ankles, rolled up his trouser legs, and leaned against He Chao. He pointed at the person next to him: "Ask him."

　　"I really didn't mean it," He Chao carefully held Xie Yu's waist and said, "Do you feel any pain? Or do you want to go to the infirmary again? Or do you want to go back?" "Bedroom."

　　Xie Yu said, "I want you to shut up."

　　So He Chao was left alone in the long-distance running event.

　　When carrying the chairs downstairs, Luo Wenqiang was still mumbling: "I shouldn't be joking. The hope of the whole village has really become the only hope of the whole village."

　　He Chao held two chairs in his hand and waited. I have to come back later to pick up the children.

　　Luo Wenqiang said again: "Brother Chao, tell me, can I trust you? Brother Chao?"

　　"First, right? No problem." After arriving at the place, He Chao put down his chair, "Qiangqiang, don't worry, I I am not fighting alone, I still carry the souls of my classmates."

　　"The remaining events today are the long jump final, the 100-meter final, the men's 3,000-meter long-distance race, the four-by-one-hundred-meter relay race, and more. Group events, tug-of-war... and finally a 400-meter competition for teachers in each class." Director Jiang started mobilizing again, "I feel very happy when I see everyone running on the playground. This is what teenagers should have. Look! Come on, athletes!"

　　Xie Yu sat in his seat, looking down at his phone, holding the big coat that He Chao had forced on him to protect him from the sun.

　　The three-thousand-meter long-distance race has always been the highlight, and the race is also the longest. He Chao will go to the flag-raising platform to report soon. Before leaving, he was very confident: "You can think about it, when our class takes first place." What kind of acceptance speech should I give?"

　　Wanda applauded: "First place is scheduled."

　　Liu Cunhao: "Niu Bi, it's up to you, Brother Chao."

　　Xie Yu kicked him with his uninjured foot: "Stop talking nonsense and get out. ."

　　He Chao went, the four numbers 4286 behind him shining brightly in the sun.

　　After He Chao passed by, Luo Wenqiang and the others gathered together to discuss writing a radio call for contributions to cheer up the only long-distance runner in Class 3. They gathered their heads together to discuss for a long time. Wanda turned around and said, "Brother Yu, please help us take a look. Is this okay?"

　　Xie Yu reached out and took it, and found that there was a cheering broadcast script. This was the acceptance speech that He Chao wanted.

　　Above is Liu Cunhao's crooked handwriting.

　　-Victory belongs to Brother Chao and Class 3. Thanks to the other long-distance runners for participating. It's a pity and helplessness. You are destined to be unknown supporting actors in this scene.

　　"..."

　　Liu Cunhao blinked and asked, "How is it! Aren't you very talented?"

　　"Shameless, I might even get beaten up with a sack after the sports meeting," Xie Yu paused, and then said, "But you guys Brother Chao must like it very much. "

　　The author has something to say: So, Brother Chao is not because of family reasons... I love you all!
