When Lu Xiao called for the first time, Ye Cheng didn't dare to answer.

He slowly held back his tears, calmed down for a moment, and then picked up his phone to call back.

Just then, the second call came in.

Ye Cheng put it in his ear and said, "Hello."

His voice was still a little hoarse, with a thick nasal tone.

Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then asked keenly, "What's wrong with your voice?"

"Well, I have a cold." Ye Cheng casually made an excuse.

The season has changed recently, and it is the high incidence of colds. Many people in the class have stuffy noses, and it is understandable for him to be infected.

"Why did you catch a cold? You got caught in the rain?" Lu Xiao's tone became anxious, "No, it hasn't rained recently, so you kicked the quilt again at night."

Mingming Ye Cheng was the older one, but when he talked about it like this, he instantly felt like a child with degenerated limbs and unable to take care of himself.

He coughed and said, "I didn't kick the quilt."

"Nonsense, you must have kicked, you have a cold."

"No kick, you're so annoying!"

The two chatted for a while, then hung up the phone.

It's really strange today, Lu Xiao didn't force him to say something like "Goodbye, I like you the most", "Woo, see you tomorrow, brother Lu Xiao", and hung up decisively.

After making the call, Ye Cheng got up and put the envelope on the third floor of the bookcase.

It was late at night outside, and Ye Gaoyang was accompanying him in the hospital tonight. After reading the letter, he wanted to ask Ye Gaoyang for a while, and asked him if he knew the relationship between Yu Tian and Qu Tian.

After hesitating for a long time, he gave up.

Know what to do, what to do if you don't know.

He failed Yu Tian, ​​this is an undeniable fact. If he knew, it would only be more disgusting.

In fact, before Ye Cheng was five years old, Ye Gaoyang in his impression was a good father who loved his wife very much. Later, before he knew it, something changed - he stopped rushing back after work, rushed into the house and kissed Yu Tian and Ye Cheng. Afterwards, drinking and socializing became more and more, and they would not take them to play badminton in the park on weekends.

Yu Tian has a principle that he should not quarrel in front of the child.

In this regard, she and Meng Li are fundamentally different.

Lu Xiao grew up with his mother's complaints against his father, and Ye Cheng never heard Yu Tian say anything about Ye Gaoyang, including when she was the most painful.

The first time he discovered that something was wrong with his parents was when he overheard Yu Tian calling her best friend. At that time, she already knew that Ye Gaoyang had cheated, but she didn't know who the other party was. Her best friend encouraged her to seek justice from Xiao San.

Yu Tian went out after the phone call. When he came back, he was so haggard that he slumped on the sofa.

Ye Cheng staggered and ran up to help her. That was the only time he saw Yu Tian so complacent.

Marriage and family without the support of trust are real graves.

Sometimes he would even wonder if it was because he and Lu Xiao both had a fragmented growth environment, so they could not trust each other unreservedly afterwards. Lu Xiao concealed something from him, and he was not frank enough. After finding out, he still pretended to be stupid and didn't want to solve it, so the hidden estrangement deepened.

Neither of them found this problem in their previous lives.

But five years later, ten years later.

Will it also end badly?

Ye Cheng shook her head, not wanting to think about it any longer, got up and took a shower.

He had just changed into his pajamas and lay down when he heard a rustling sound from the window.

Thinking it was the neighbor's orange cat, Ye Cheng got up to look for earplugs.

The neighbor fed a stray cat, bathed it and dewormed it, and served it with delicious food and drink, but the cat refused to enter the house.

But he had no choice but to build a nest outside, because he couldn't catch it and couldn't sterilize it. So when it comes to spring night, it is called spring heart rippling.

Before he could find the earplugs, he remembered a familiar voice outside.

"Hush-hush-the handsome guy in there, come here and open the window for me."

Lu Xiao made a signal sound like a snake, trying to attract the attention of the room.

Ye Cheng walked over and opened the curtains, and saw the bright face outside the window.

"...What are you doing at night? Don't tell me if you want to come." He was startled, opened the security window with the key, and let people in.

"I told you, okay?" Lu Xiao muttered while flipping open the window skillfully.

Ye Cheng was speechless, "Why don't you go through the main entrance?"

Lu Xiao said, "It's half past twelve! What should I do if I wake up my grandma when I walk to the front door."

Ye Cheng lost to him: "You know it's half past twelve, what are you doing here?"

Lu Xiao jumped in, closed the window with his backhand, shook the bag in his hand and said, "I'm here to bring you cold medicine."

Ye Cheng was stunned, Lu Xiao leaned over and touched his forehead, and said to himself, "Fortunately, I don't have a fever. To be on the safe side, I even bought antipyretics."

Ye Cheng didn't expect to say a word from himself and let him run all the way from Jiulong to Bai Ze.

It was so late that he had to buy medicine and take a taxi to deliver it, so he didn't mind the trouble.

The tip of his nose was sour, a little moved, and he was about to speak.

Lu Xiao suddenly looked at him and said, "Wait a minute, I haven't finished what I just said. I sent you a message, why didn't you receive it?"

"Ah... Maybe there is too much news, I didn't see it." He jumped so fast, Ye Cheng didn't keep up.

Lu Xiao said suspiciously, "Did you not put me on the top?"

Ye Cheng said embarrassedly: "You didn't let me top it."

Lu Xiao's glass heart was broken, and Lu Xiao was about to cry.

He threw the medicine on the table with his neck stuck, and said angrily, "Isn't it necessary for a relationship to be on the top! When I was not with you, I put you on the top, how could you not put me on the top?! "

The feeling in Ye Cheng's heart disappeared immediately, and he picked up the phone with a headache and said, "Okay, I understand, I'll pin it for you right away."

"Do you mean I'm forcing you?" Lu Xiao grabbed his phone and swiped it twice, his expression even more annoyed, "What kind of note did you give me? Lu Xiao, I'm just called Lu. Xiaoxiao, right? Why can Huang Shengan be called Shengan?"

Fuck, you might as well not come, Ye Cheng secretly said.

The last time Gao Qiulan borrowed his mobile phone to bargain for an order, he was afraid of revealing the truth, so he temporarily changed the remarks, and later forgot to change it back. can't explain it now.

"I'm changing now..."

He reached for the phone, but Lu Xiao waved it away.

"I'll change it myself, you go and take the medicine first." He looked unhappy.

Ye Cheng didn't want to provoke the person who was angry, so he obediently poured water and took a vitamin tablet, then ran over and hooked his shoulder from behind.

Lu Xiaozheng poked randomly at the phone, pinned his WeChat to the top and changed it to "Kiss baby", and then changed Huang Shengan's remarks to "Stupid little flat head".

During this period, he accidentally turned off the screen because he was too excited.

"Help me open it." He directly handed the phone back.

Ye Cheng went over his shoulder and pressed four numbers with his index finger: 1013.

He pressed against Lu Xiao's ear and saw that his earlobe immediately turned red.

"Aren't you angry?" Ye Cheng blew into the red ear.

Lu Xiao shrank his shoulders and bluffed: "What's the matter, my mobile phone password is also your birthday."

Gee, still so innocent.

After tossing with him for a long time, Ye Cheng yawned and said, "I'm so sleepy, go to bed, and I have to go to school tomorrow."

As soon as the word "sleep" was mentioned, Lu Xiao felt uncomfortable.

"I came here after taking a shower, do you have any pajamas?" he asked.

Ye Cheng gave him a set of pajamas. Although Lu Xiao was several centimeters taller than him now, most of his pajamas were loose and fit.

He left a table lamp and got under the soft quilt, revealing only one head.

Lu Xiao swallowed and asked carefully, "Are there any extra mattresses? I want to make a floor."

Ye Cheng frowned and looked at him outrageously: "It's not like we haven't slept together."

The Qingshan time and the Yingcheng time, didn't they all slept together?

Lu Xiao squeezed the corner of his pajamas and hesitated: "It used to be before, and now it is now. You used to stick to me, but now as soon as I hold you, it will...will..."

Ye Cheng remembered that night in Yingcheng and seemed to be too cruel to the male high school students.

He was fine when he didn't expect it, but when he thought about it, he couldn't help it.

He had no choice but to accept his fate, climbed up and rummaged through the boxes, and made a floor for Lu Xiao.

The young master condescendingly nestled beside his bed, more like a large golden retriever.

Golden Retriever also whispered to him: "You lean over here, don't get too far away from me."

In the end, he slept under the bed, Ye Cheng slept on the edge of the bed, and he stretched out a hand to hold him.

Damn, in his last life and this life combined, he has never done such a green and sour thing.

The lamp light was dim, Lu Xiao blinked his eyes and looked up, and asked softly, "Are you asleep?"

Ye Cheng closed her eyes, but her sleepiness was no longer there. "No, I can't sleep for the time being."

he said helplessly.

"Is your throat still uncomfortable?" Lu Xiao said.

Ye Cheng almost forgot about her "cold". After a while, she said with a guilty conscience: "It's much better, thank you for your medicine."

Lu Xiao was happy and shook his hand twice.

Ye Cheng rested her chin on the back of her other hand, pulled the edge of the bed to look at him, and asked, "Does Auntie know you're here?"

Lu Xiao said, "I don't know, she won't find out. She wakes up very late, and won't wake up until 11 or 2 noon."

"How is your aunt's health?"

Lu Xiao was silent for a moment and said, "It's not very good. Maybe she is really suitable for a place to rest. Every time she goes home, her condition will get worse."

Ye Cheng said in surprise: "Why is this? Shouldn't it be more comfortable to go home, and you are with her."

Lu Xiao shook his head, "I always felt that she was in a much better state in Qingshan than she is now. As soon as she got home, she became suspicious, always saying that there were eyes staring at her."

Ye Cheng couldn't hear this kind of babble, and shivered slightly.

Lu Xiao squeezed his hand: "Don't be afraid, she's talking nonsense. My grandfather and grandma have passed away for many years, and my grandfather is still abroad, um... Her assumptions are a bit serious."

"Master... Does your grandfather plan to return to China recently?" Ye Cheng always felt that the old man was a life-saving straw, and hoped that the sooner he returned to China, the better. If there was a conflict with Lu Yaoshan, there would be an elder who could uphold justice. exist.

"No, he is busy with business in Europe, and it is estimated that he will not return to China within a year or two." Lu Xiao said.

Ye Cheng sighed inwardly, forget it, let it be natural.

He talked to Lu Xiao for a while, and finally said that he was sleepy, his head swaying beside the bed.

In the dim drowsiness, Lu Xiao got up and put his head back on the pillow and covered him with the quilt.

He seemed to want to endure, but he couldn't hold back and kissed him on the forehead.

Ye Cheng showed a smile in the dream, and gradually fell into a deeper sleep after listening to his suppressed breathing.

The next day, the two went to school together.

When they arrived at Shanhai Road, they separated by coincidence and entered the classroom one after the other.

Some of the desks in the classroom have been removed, today's morning self-study has also been cancelled, and the whole day's classes have been changed to cultural festivals.

The students spent half a day arranging the classroom and the playground. Speech competitions and book salons are held in the classrooms, while charity sales and various small games are held in the playground.

The items in the charity sale are small items that everyone usually does not use, or handicrafts that the teacher leads them to make together. All the money from this charity sale will be donated to the mountains.

No. 13 Middle School has never held such an activity. Everyone felt it was very novel and meaningful, and the participation and enthusiasm were very high.

Under the instruction of Hua Wangchun, Ye Cheng participated in a speech contest on the theme of environmental protection.

He stood on the stage to give a speech, and there were several judges and teachers sitting below.

Outside the bright and clean classroom, a group of people from their class and the boys from the basketball team were crowded. Lu Xiao gave him a "come on" gesture, and Tan Xiaoqi even brought a few ribbons.

Ye Cheng wanted to laugh a little, but felt his heart warm again.

The teacher turned around and said solemnly: "Be quiet, haven't you seen the number one in the grade? You have to run over to watch when you give a speech."

Everyone burst into laughter.

This was Ye Cheng's most relaxed and most "informal" speech.

He spoke jargon and data with ease, but his eyes drifted to the boy waiting for him outside the window more than once. He also answered the teacher's questions with ease, but his eyes had a warmth and a smile that would not be found in a company speech.

In the end, the teacher nodded and praised: "As expected of the 'Light of the Thirteenth Middle School', both eloquence and writing are first-class. I haven't met such a fluent student for a long time. You are well prepared."

Loud applause sounded outside the window.

Jiang Jin kept cheering, "Ow, ooh", causing the teachers to stare at him.

"The results will be announced in the afternoon, you go out first and call number 33 in," the teacher said.

Ye Cheng bowed politely below, turned around and went out.

As soon as he walked out of the classroom, everyone from Class 20 gathered around him.

"Let's go, monitor, let's go to the playground to play games."

"Congratulations, Brother Orange, for speaking well!"

"Squad leader, we'll be waiting for you."

The crowd surrounded him and left laughing and talking. No. 33 was in class 18, and he was still nervous a second ago, afraid that he would make a fool of himself in front of so many people.

The next second, the hallway is empty.

No. 33: "..."

Class 18 didn't come to see anyone alone!

When everyone arrived at the playground, they hurriedly went to various booths to play games.

Jiang Jin and Lu Xiao Yecheng walked together.

Lu Xiao boasted: "Our oranges are so good, we made the teacher speechless."

He is as restless as the orange cat these days. After several proposals to call Ye Cheng "Baby" were rejected, he began to stubbornly call him "Orange" in public.

Ye Cheng's resistance failed, and he could only comfort himself that "Orange" was better than "Baby", so he just let him go.

Jiang Jin's eyes were almost rolled to the sky, and he couldn't help but say, "He's not in a debate competition. What does it mean to 'make the teacher speechless'."

Lu Xiao lowered his face: "I praise my partner, it's none of your business."

Jiang Jinsheng said without love: "I'm leaving, you can play by yourself."

Before he could take a step, Lu Xiao slipped back by the collar.

"Go ahead, three people are the best cover, understand?" Lu Xiao said mercilessly.

These days, he and Ye Cheng have to drag Jiang Jin in everything they do, because the last post has already aroused Xu Chao's suspicion. So Lu Xiao felt that as long as Jiang Jin was there, it could be seen as "the three brothers joking around".

Poor Jiang Jin's daughter-in-law is not around, and she has to endure the torture of being stuffed with a mouthful of dog food all the time. This world just doesn't make people live.

When he saw the ring game, he suddenly became wicked.

Jiang Jin is the best at playing hoops, and the playground owner who used to tangle chases after him. And what Lu Xiao is not good at is hooping and catching dolls. It can be said that the skill point of picking up girls is 0.

Jiang Jin said decisively, "Let's go play the ring, there are a lot of small pendants."

Since you force Lao Tzu to eat dog food every day, Lao Tzu will make you embarrassed today.

Just as Lu Xiao was about to veto it, Ye Cheng said in agreement, "Okay, I want to try it too."

Jiang Jin proudly bought the 50-dollar ring, thinking that you will be shy! Dress up again! Hahahaha, I see how arrogant you are! !

He generously gave Lu Xiao one, and encouraged him, "Brother Xiao, come and try. Brave brother Xiao, don't be afraid of difficulties."

Lu Xiao hooked the circle with his fingers, and asked the girl who set up the stall thoughtfully, "Did you catch something, and that thing belongs to me?"

There were mobile phone cases, stands, and various small ornaments on the booth. The girl nodded shyly and said, "Everything in the case belongs to you."

Lu Xiao smiled, took Ye Cheng's hand, and put the trap on his hand.

"It's mine," he said earnestly.

The girl opened her eyes wide and covered her mouth as if she was about to faint at any time.

Jiang Jin: I...fuck...
