"Let's beat the drums and spread the flowers."

Gu Zhi casually took an emptied drink bottle from the table, tightened the cap of the bottle and tapped it lightly on the table.

"Starting from Sister Yan, on average, everyone took turns to 'beat the drum' twice, and whoever the 'flower' fell on when the drum stopped would be punished."

"The way of punishment is up to the flower receiver to choose, singing, dancing, telling jokes and answering the drummer's questions."

"And everyone can participate. There are more choices than truth or dare. It's like watching a live Spring Festival Gala in advance. What do you think?"

Finally, he smiled and asked the other people present to ask for public opinion.

Others naturally have no opinion.

Not only because Gu Zhi's suggestion is more reasonable, but also because he usually has a high reputation in class and school, so when he opened his mouth, basically everyone abandoned their own ideas and nodded in agreement.

The first person to "beat the drum" was Hao Yan, and the "flower" fell on Yingdai Li Yueyue and another girl present.

The two people who picked up the "flower" both chose to sing, which can be regarded as a pretty good start for this game.

Then the person "beating the drum" became Xia Ke next to her in a clockwise manner, and then the girl next to Xia Ke who changed seats with Gu Zhi, and so on.I chose to tell jokes and perform shows to add to the fun.

Except Jiang Yu.

Because he is tone deaf, not very good at singing, let alone dancing, even telling jokes in public, he chose to give up because he was not very comfortable.

But there is no other choice, so the only way left is to answer the question.

Fortunately, he was quite lucky, and everyone present also followed the rules and cared about Hao Yan and Wen Xin, and did not deliberately target him.

So from the beginning of the game until the "drum" was passed all the way to his own hands, the "flower" fell on him only once.

And because Wen Xin was the one who "beat the drums" at that time, the question he was asked was very simple and easy to answer.

Until he handed the empty drink bottle to Gu Zhi next to him.

Twice in succession, when the sound of the "drum" stopped amidst Gu Zhi's unhurried beating, the "flower" landed on Jiang Yu's body perfectly.

Either he didn't have time to throw it on others, or it just happened to be thrown into his arms that were sitting firmly like a mountain.

Jiang Yu naturally chose to answer the questions.

It's just that after the question was answered, everyone present was dumbfounded.

Because after Gu Zhi opened his eyes, he turned to Jiang Yu with a half-smile and asked the two questions: "Excuse me, do you have someone you like?"(1) Are you from this class?".

And Jiang Yu has always been, unless it is a situation that is very special to him, so special that he can only cover it up with some loopholes, lies and fake actions that he is not good at at all—for example, he likes Gu Zhi——Otherwise, he would either simply keep his mouth shut, or he would be too lazy to talk about anything, and he would not be able to hide his character.

So even though he didn't quite understand why Gu Zhi asked him this suddenly, he felt very guilty.

But under the curious gaze of everyone present, and Gu Zhi's determined gaze behind the thin lens, which seemed to have seen through everything, he was still very honest, and he answered two "yes" one after another without hiding anything.Character.

This was completely beyond the expectations of the group of onlookers who were suddenly forcefully gulped.

No one thought that Gu Zhi would suddenly ask Jiang Yu this, let alone that Jiang Yu would answer yes.

Even Hao Yan and Wen Xin, after seeing this scene, turned their heads and looked at each other subconsciously, always feeling that there seemed to be some unusual subtle atmosphere in it.

However, the parties were still quite calm.

After Gu Zhi asked, he sat down, basically without looking at Jiang Yu again, and handed the empty plastic bottle in his hand to the person next to him.

To remind the opponent to continue the game.

As for Jiang Yu, apart from being a little dazed when he heard the question, he also didn't have any unnecessary communication and interaction with the other party, and lowered his eyes and didn't speak again.

Therefore, although these people wanted to continue to eat melons, they didn't want to gossip too obviously, so they could only continue to play the second half of the game with their own minds.

But in fact, Jiang Yu looked calm on the surface, but he was already extremely flustered in his heart.

He didn't know why Gu Zhi suddenly remembered to ask him these two questions, and he didn't know whether Hao Yan and Wen Xin, as two people who had experienced it, would react when they saw these subtle interactions between him and Gu Zhi.What doubts.

He only knew that the two eyes that Gu Zhi cast on him when he was questioning just now were very determined.

It was as if he had seen through him completely, knew that he liked her, and knew that he would admit it.

Completely and thoroughly, he knew the secret that he had been clumsily and trying hard to cover up.

Jiang Yu was distracted throughout the second half of the game.

My mind turned upside down, repeatedly echoing "he discovered it, he still discovered it", "when did he discover it", "what about others? Did anyone else discover this?","Did he find out by himself, or did someone else find out and tell him?", "Then what should we do now?", "Should we just take the initiative to expose this matter and leave, or pretend that nothing happened?"Those who know, wait for him to ask himself." These few words.

Because he was too guilty and nervous, even the movement of the "flower" falling on him and being stuffed into the hand of the person next to him was unconscious and mechanical.

I didn't realize that I had already confused myself and believed that the other party had discovered the secret, and I didn't realize that even if Gu Zhi really found out and came to him to ask him for confirmation, he could actually kill the three "dislikes"Words are not recognized.

In the final analysis, he actually couldn't pretend anymore.

Sober love is the most difficult, and secret emotions are too depressing.

So when I realized that I was discovered, apart from the nervousness and panic that I was caught off guard, there should be a feeling of relief mixed in with it.

It's just that he was still flustered.

Because he really wanted to spend this year with Gu Zhi.

So he didn't dare to talk to Gu Zhi anymore, and he didn't dare to look at him, and even moved his chair to the right calmly afterwards, not daring to get too close to Gu Zhi.

Even less dared to have any individual contact with Gu Zhi who walked side by side with him intentionally or unintentionally on the way from the hotel to the fountain square with everyone, and whispered that he wanted to chat with him alone.

Even when Gu Zhi said that he wanted to return his cell phone, he didn't go to get it himself, but stood with Xia Ke specially and spread his palms to signal Gu Zhi to give it to him.

Until the countdown to the New Year's Eve bell in Fountain Square rang, the sound of electronic fireworks in the new year was intertwined with the sound of "Happy New Year" that suddenly sounded around, and began to sound one after another in the crowd of strangers in the square.The moment comes.

He suddenly felt a tightness on his wrist, and then in a serious tone of "what are you hiding, let's talk", he was forcibly pulled to a place where there were few people, and even the lights were dark.The corners were so dim that only the outlines of each other could be seen clearly.

"Jiang Yu..."

"Yes, I just have unreasonable thoughts about you! I like you!"

Just as Gu Zhicai let go of his hand and called his name in a serious tone, Jiang Yu opened his mouth and exposed himself before he had time to say anything.

He didn't want to hear this matter asked from Gu Zhi's mouth, and he didn't want to express his feelings for Gu Zhi as if he was forced to confess.

This is an active and spontaneous behavior of his, and if he dares to do it, he dares to admit it himself.

Jiang Yu tried his best to look at Gu Zhi with his eyes wide open in the dim environment, even though he couldn't see the specific emotions on the other's face in such a dark corner with little light.

"But I like it just because I like it silently in my heart. I don't want to do anything with you, and basically I never thought about letting you know."

As he spoke, he suddenly felt more fortunate that they were in such a dark and sparsely populated corner now.

Because of this, he can completely see Gu Zhi's reaction and expression, and all the efforts he has made to cover up this secret during this period of time have not faded in his heart, but it seems to be getting worse.I don't know when, because of Gu Zhi's inadvertent provocation, the liking that I can no longer hide will be fully expressed to the other party.

"I don't know how you noticed it, and I don't want to ask more, because it's not important." Jiang Yu said, "But the important thing is that I have been avoiding suspicion as much as possible since this semester.Your non-essential contact should not lead to reverie and misunderstanding, and try to avoid your awareness and knowledge as much as possible."

He said: "I know what kind of character I am, and I know what the consequences will be if you or others find out about this matter. So I am afraid that because I am a little closer to you, I will not be able to help it., I don’t know what day and time, I was caught off guard, and I told you this white confession regardless of the occasion—”

"So you just pretended to be angry and clung to the sentence I said casually before," Gu Zhi suddenly continued, "you have been confronting me in class all the time, evenYou never take the initiative to talk to me after class, and you always look like you will never give up until you surpass me in the grade list. In fact, it is not because of the overpowering desire to win and lose that is born in your heart, nor is it because of being rejected.The anger I lied to has never subsided."

"It's all because you like me in your heart, but you are afraid that I or someone else will notice and know about it. Is that the meaning?"

He looked at Jiang Yuwen with an extremely complicated expression in the dark.

"yes."

Jiang Yuhu didn't dare to look at him anymore, and lowered his head and leaned back against the wall.

"I don't want this matter to have any effect on you, and I don't want it to have any effect on the pure and flawless friendship between us." He said, "So I have been working hard to control myself, and alsoDuring this long period of self-struggle and struggle, I tried my best to push back and stay away from you as calmly as possible. Even when I sat at the table just now, I went to the opposite side and forced to change seats with Xia Ke.To avoid suspicion."

Because he knows that he has no psychological defense against Gu Zhi, and he understands it better than anyone else.

He was afraid that if Gu Zhi did something at the dinner table that he couldn't refuse, or said something that he didn't want to refute or deny at all, he would show something uncontrollably.

Just like at that time, because he wanted to spend New Year's Eve with Gu Zhi, he let Gu Zhi unilaterally make the decision for him in the classroom, and told Hao Yan to record his name, even if he knew that everyone in the class wouldAfter thinking about it, still didn't open mouth to deny or refute.

"So you just pretended to be in front of me for a whole semester?"

Gu Zhi unconsciously frowned slightly.

"Yes," Jiang Yu chose to admit without intending to hide it at all, "I am afraid that you will find out, and I am even more afraid that others will find out. I am afraid that you will refuse, and I am even more afraid that you will mind. Especially those rumors after it is noticed by othersGossip."

"I'm even more afraid that if I accidentally pierce this layer of window paper, I will no longer be qualified, let alone have the opportunity to be friends with you." He said.

But liking and instinct are a particularly difficult thing to control.

So even though he tried so hard, Gu Zhi still noticed and knew about it.

Maybe this is fate.

Jiang Yu thought.

Although fate gave him a chance to do it all over again, it also made him make a new choice, and he met Da Zhi earlier than in his "last life".

But still don't plan to give him any good luck.

Even if he managed to retain his friendship with Pei Ben, he still couldn't change the original established route, and had to face the unknown life ahead alone.

Gu Zhi didn't speak.

By the time the people in the square next to it had finished watching the fountain in the middle of the river and the fireworks on the spire opposite, they had begun to disperse scattered, ready to go home and go to the next New Year party.

Jiang Yu didn't even wait for Gu Zhi to say a word.

What's more, he didn't wait for the answer that he knew in his heart that it was impossible, but he was still looking forward to it with hope.

I didn't even wait for the other party's opinions and opinions on this matter.

Ever since Gu Zhi asked him the second question, he has been silent in the darkness where he couldn't see his expressions and reactions clearly.

He neither wanted to give him a good time, nor did he seem to be thinking about what hope to give him.

As if waiting for the final judgment, Jiang Yu lowered his head and leaned against the wall that was as cold as his heart that was gradually cooling down while waiting, and waited quietly for a while.

Seeing that Gu Zhi still didn't intend to say anything, he finally couldn't hold back his self-mockery and took a deep breath.

"never mind."

Jiang Yu felt that he should have understood the things implied in his silent silence.

"I'm sorry," he smiled calmly as much as possible, "I know that the person you like is Chen Wenwen, and I also know that today I admitted that I like you without denying it.The online joke of 'I treat you like a brother, but you want to fuck me' is really disturbing."

But it happened suddenly, and he didn't expect it to develop like this suddenly.

"Maybe... maybe we all need some time to calm down and digest."

Jiang Yu worked extremely hard to suppress his urge to turn around and run immediately, but he still tried his best to maintain the superficial calm and looked up at Gu Zhi.

"Then let's do it for today, Happy New Year, Gu Zhi."

After finishing speaking, he lifted his feet and turned around in an extremely "calm" manner, and walked out of the dim and dim corner with his shoulders straight, which now hides the unspeakable secrets he unilaterally had with Gu Zhi.

The shoulder line is tense, and the eyes are not squinted.

He didn't notice at all that Gu Zhi subconsciously raised his hand the moment he turned around.

He didn't even notice that there were two onlookers standing there in the same dimly lit corner next to him.
