Wei You originally wanted to call a tricycle to go to school, but then he thought that he was wearing a brand-name suit and leather shoes, and it would look too shabby to take a tricycle, so he spent a few more dollars and hired a van to take him to the school gate.

As you walk into the school gate, you will see a row of students standing on the road holding class signs, responsible for welcoming their parents.

He guessed that Wei Xu should still be in the key class, so he asked the student holding the sign of Class 12, Grade 8. The other party enthusiastically took him to the bottom of the teaching building and told him to go up the stairs to the third floor and turn right to the first classroom.

Wei You thanked him and quickly ran upstairs.

Turning out of the stairwell on the third floor, I saw that the corridors in front of the classroom doors and the corridors leading to other teaching buildings were crowded with students.

Although all the students were wearing the same school uniform, Wei You still found Wei Xu in the crowd at a glance.

The other party was lying on the railing at the edge of the corridor with two boys, with their arms hanging on the railing and their heads down, looking listlessly at the small garden downstairs.

Wei You was about to call his name, but before he could open his mouth, someone shouted loudly: "Squad leader, your brother is here!"

Wei You also attended the parents' meeting last year, and maybe someone recognized him.

Wei Xu turned his head quickly and saw Wei You standing near the front door of the classroom. His previous sullen expression instantly changed and his eyes opened wide.

His eyes moved in surprise from the man's straight long legs wrapped in trousers to the slightly loose collar of his shirt, and finally to Wei You's face, which looked even more handsome after he had put on makeup. He stared at him without blinking.

"Are you not too late?" Wei You walked through the crowded crowd and came to his side.

Wei Xu blinked, and as if in slow motion, he withdrew his hand from the railing, stood up straight and said, "It has already begun."

"Didn't you catch up?"

"It's okay, you still have time to go in now."

"I'm glad I caught up." Wei You was about to knock on the front door when he suddenly remembered something and turned around and said, "Your voice has changed."

Wei Xu stared at his face blankly and said, "Maybe the voice change period is almost over."

"Your voice is quite nice. You should continue to protect your voice in the last period of time."

Wei Xu nodded, and inexplicably felt a slight heat in his ears.

Wei You glanced at the closed classroom door and asked, "Will it disturb the people inside if I go in now?"

Wei Xu shook his head, walked forward and knocked on the door, and then heard a voice "Come in" from inside.

Wei You pushed open the front door and saw a classroom full of parents sitting inside.

Standing on the podium was a tall female teacher in her thirties, Wei Xu's homeroom teacher.

For a moment, he felt everyone's eyes were on him, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Wei Xu had told his class teacher that no one would come to his home, so when he saw the two of them standing at the door, the class teacher was obviously stunned for a moment, and then quickly changed his expression and showed a friendly smile: "Are you Wei Xu's parents?"

"Yes," Wei You replied with a smile, "Sorry, I'm late because of work."

"It's okay. We've just started. Wei Xu, take your brother to your seat."

Wei Xu responded and took Wei You to his seat with unsteady steps.

When it was time to go out, he was still reluctant to leave and squatted down and pretended to pack things in the drawer.

During this time, because his head was very close to Wei You's waist and arm, he could clearly smell a scent of men's perfume mixed with a faint aroma of alcohol emanating from the person next to him, and the tips of his ears were unconsciously stained with a thin layer of red.

Wei Xu slowly found the midterm test papers of all subjects and placed them on the table. He took a long time to leave through the back door.

As soon as he returned to the corridor, classmates came over and chattered around him, saying, "Class monitor, your brother is so handsome!"

"So formal, even wearing a suit."

"What does your brother do for a living?"

"He's really handsome, even more handsome than last year!"

"That's right, with this figure and this face, she can become a celebrity!"

Wei Xu listened to their praises, feeling both proud and inexplicably annoyed.

He didn't bother to respond and walked straight through the crowd back to where he had just stood.

But this time he didn't lie on the railing. Instead, he leaned against the railing and looked into the classroom through the window glass.

When he saw the calm and handsome profile of the young man sitting in his seat, his irritable mood suddenly calmed down.

The parents listened attentively to what the teacher was saying on the stage.

Wei Xu saw Wei You flipping through the test paper on the table, and then the corners of his mouth slightly raised up, smiling very beautifully.

His eyes involuntarily lingered from the other person's soft eyes to the pale pink lips, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Is it because you saw his test results that you are smiling so happily?

Just as Wei Xu was thinking this, Wei You in the classroom seemed to sense his gaze. He suddenly turned his head and looked at him through the glass window.

The moment their eyes met, Wei Xu felt his heart beating faster and the skin from the palms of his hands to the soles of his feet became numb.

At this moment, he saw Wei You wink at him, then put his right hand on the test paper and secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Wei Xu was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but smile.

Du Shao's voice suddenly came from beside him, interrupting his interaction with his brother: "How old is your brother this year? Why do I feel that he looks younger than when I first saw him?"

"He..." Wei Xu paused and said, "He was very young."

"Is that so?" Du Shao asked casually, not noticing his perfunctory answer, and said to herself, "But the suit is really handsome. I will wear a suit every day when I work in the future."

“It also depends on who is wearing it.”

"I'll wear it... Damn, what do you mean?" Du Shao cursed with a smile, reaching out his hand and pretending to hit him.

Wei Xu was in a good mood and cooperated by turning his head to avoid the attack, but his eyes remained fixed on the people in the classroom.

After a while, the girl in charge of making tea came over and asked, "Monitor, do you want me to make a cup of tea for your brother?"

Wei Xu was about to shake his head, but after thinking for a while he said, "I'll go to the bar."

He took the initiative to take over the task, went to the front door, got a plastic cup and made a cup of tea, then entered the classroom from the back door with the boiling hot tea in both hands, walked to his seat, and carefully placed the cup in front of Wei You.

Wei You reflexively said "thank you", and when he looked up he realized it was his own kid.

The kid smiled sweetly and said, "You're welcome."

The teacher on the podium was talking about the grade rankings for this exam. Seeing Wei Xu coming in, he said, "The first place in the midterm exam is still in our class. Wei Xu, who is also the monitor of our class, is really amazing. He is very serious in class and studies very hard. At the same time, he handles all the affairs of the class very well. He is a caring assistant to the teachers of various subjects, right, Wei Xu?"

The parents immediately looked over and there was a burst of praise in the room.

"It was him last year too. He always ranked first in the exams. He's really amazing."

"The boy is quite handsome."

“It’s not easy to stay number one all the time.”

"How come he is so good at learning? He has the same teacher as my son..."

Wei Xu probably didn't expect the teacher to suddenly talk about him, and his face turned slightly red.

Seeing him like this, Wei You laughed softly and said, "Why are you shy? I'm praising you."

Wei Xu pursed his lips, shook his head, and quickly walked out of the classroom.

Not long after that, the teacher ended the communication session with the parents and announced that everyone could walk around and chat freely on the campus, and go to the playground with their children. When the cafeteria opened at 11 o'clock, they could go to the cafeteria to eat.

Perhaps it was the effect of the class teacher's generous praise of Wei Xu before. As soon as Wei You stood up, several parents came to ask Wei Xu how he usually studied at home, what tricks he had planned, what tutoring classes he had signed up for, etc.

Wei You had no idea about all this, so he could only make excuses by saying that he didn't really care about him and that the child was self-aware. This then attracted a wave of envy and praise from the parents.

After the crowd finally dispersed, Wei You walked out of the classroom. Wei Xu immediately came over, grabbed his wrist and said, "Would you like to go for a walk on the playground?"

Wei You didn't want to stay in the crowd any longer, so he said happily, "Okay, it's so sunny today, let's go out and bask in the sun."

Then, the two of them went down the teaching building, walked through the stone road with the fragrance of osmanthus, and went straight into the playground.

There were already other parents and students walking and chatting on the playground. The two of them attracted a lot of attention from classmates and parents along the way, and the turning back rate was almost 100%.

Wei Xu noticed this and became more aware of how eye-catching his brother's outfit was today.

This should have been a happy thing, but for some reason, he felt a subtle sourness in his heart.

"Brother, have you been away for a while to become a star?"

Wei You didn't understand: "What?"

Wei Xu said seriously: "Thanks to you, I will probably become a celebrity in the school. Everyone wants your contact information."

Wei You reacted for a few seconds, then raised his hand and rubbed him on the head twice, saying, "You little bastard, are you teasing your brother?"

Wei Xu's hair was messed up by him, with strands sticking up here and there, looking very messy.

But instead of being angry, he suddenly became happy, grinning widely, his eyes full of pure joy.

Walking along the plastic track of the playground to the stands surrounding the playground, the two walked to the top floor and sat down, enjoying the breeze and the sun. Wei You overlooked the entire playground and couldn't help but sigh: "Seeing the track and the lawn, I miss the days when I was in school."

Wei Xu turned his head to look at him: "Brother, were your grades good when you were in school?"

"It's OK, at least I can get by in junior high school. Of course, I can't compare with you. I can only stay in the top 20 in the grade." Wei You said with a Versailles tone: "But it's not good in high school."

“Is high school hard?”

"It's difficult for one thing, and I didn't study hard enough. I fell in love early in my freshman year of high school. Although it only lasted for one year, it did affect my grades. I didn't learn the basics well, so it's hard to catch up later." Wei You sighed, "So, you'd better not fall in love too early, and remember your brother's lesson."

Wei Xu didn't respond, and asked in a very unclear way: "Is that girl pretty? Your early love?"

"Why, are you gossiping again?"

"I'm just asking."

"It's been so many years, I can't remember what she looked like," Wei You said thoughtfully, looking up at the sky, "but I do remember that she was pretty, had a good temper, high emotional intelligence, was gentle, cheerful, and considerate. I really liked her for a while at that time."

Wei Xu felt very uncomfortable, as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart. He was obviously extremely jealous, but he still asked for details in a self-torturing manner: "If you like me so much, why did you break up later?"

"The teacher found out." Wei You sighed. "I still remember this. We were so brave at the time. We agreed to take a leave together at noon and go shopping and eat together. We were seen by the director of the Moral Education Department, who happened to be her relative. That was it. The head teacher talked to her, the parents talked to her, and after a series of actions, she couldn't stand the pressure and finally broke up.

"At the beginning, we agreed to go to the same university and rekindle our relationship, but after being apart for so long, we no longer have any feelings for each other, let alone rekindling our relationship. We haven't even contacted each other on chat apps since then."

Wei Xu suppressed his boiling jealousy and said, "From your tone, it seems like you feel quite regretful?"

"First love has a filter. If it doesn't last, everyone will have regrets." Wei You sighed at first, then remembered that he was talking to a junior high school student, and immediately changed the subject: "But if I were to choose again now, I would definitely choose to study hard instead of having a meaningless relationship. There are too few couples who can last until the end during their student years. In comparison, using the knowledge you have learned to exchange for a future in life is the most important thing. So, you'd better not fall in love too early. This is a warning from someone who has experienced it."

"But, if I really like her, I can't control it, and it won't necessarily affect my grades." Wei Xu retorted. He knew that Wei You might suspect something because of what he said, but he still couldn't help but express his thoughts.

"Hmm?" Wei You had indeed noticed something. "What do you mean, is there something wrong?"

Wei Xu remained silent.

"I was already in high school then, and you're only in junior high now, so don't be upset!"

Wei Xu suppressed his confused emotions and shook his head: "I just said it casually, I don't like anyone."

"You'd better do this. I will always supervise you."

Wei Xu's depressed mood was suddenly relieved by his words. He raised his face and smiled, "Then brother, you have to take good care of me. There are many people chasing me in school."

Wei You laughed and patted his head twice: "Stinky boy."

Fortunately, my brother made it to my parent-teacher meeting.

I had completely lost hope at that time, and my mood fell into a bottomless black hole. Watching my classmates greet their parents one by one, I felt so sad. Looking in through the window, I saw that my seat was almost the only one that was empty in the class.

At this time, my brother suddenly appeared, dressed in his best!

Wow, although this description is a bit exaggerated, I really felt like I saw New Year's Eve, brilliant fireworks exploded in front of me, time stood still, my heart was beating fast, and he just appeared in front of me.

Hearing his classmates talking about him, I felt a little proud and a little jealous, but overall I felt very happy.

Give up resistance, just like him. There are too many variables in the future, and while he is still by my side, I should love him to my heart's content.
