Chapter 84: Childhood Friendship If (Part 2) Childhood Friendship Feelings Deteriorate
Chen Wei unconsciously rubbed the red rope on his wrist with his fingertips.
He was lying in the last row of the classroom. The physics teacher's lecture was so hypnotic that he didn't sleep well last night.
A pen slid in a graceful arc in the air and landed precisely on the table where Chen Wei was standing.
"The monthly exam is almost here, and you're still sleeping!"
"Chen Wei, you dropped 10 places in the last monthly exam. Isn't that enough to sound the alarm?!"
Jiang Yuan, who was sitting at the same table, reached out and caught the pen, preventing it from hitting Chen Wei's head.
The outstretched hand had long joints and protruding wrist bones. A red rope was hung on his wrist, which matched his skin color and was particularly conspicuous. It was the same red rope on Shen Wei's hand.
They have been wearing this type of rope for many years. Since they take good care of it, the red rope has not worn out much over the years.
Chen Wei raised his head and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, teacher."
The teacher, filled with anger, stopped talking and did not intend to waste time on Shen Wei, and continued to explain the problem.
Chen Wei hunched over, a good deal shorter than the person next to him. He nudged the person's shoulder with his elbow and whispered to Jiang Yuan, "Where were we at?"
His voice was hoarse with sleepiness.
Jiang Yuan turned the pages to the correct position on the test paper for him while listening to the lecture.
He stretched out his hand and pointed at Shen Wei.
Chen Wei's gaze followed Jiang Yuan's hand, and his gaze shifted from the red rope on Jiang Yuan's wrist to the question.
"This kind of question? You can already do it, so why are you still listening to the teacher?"
Jiang Yuan's gaze remained fixed on the teacher lecturing on the stage, not turning his head. He said, "Since you don't know how to do it, I'll listen to what the teacher has to say."
Shen Wei didn't care much. He finally sat up straight, glanced at the questions, and said, "Aren't you good at this kind of questions?"
Jiang Yuan said, "I'm listening to the teacher to see if there is a simpler way. The method I told you last time was too difficult."
"Okay, tell me if you understand."
Chen Wei lay down again, looking lazy.
Shen Wei didn't get enough rest after watching the game competition too late last night. He didn't disrupt the class order or provoke his classmates. He lay quietly on the table, resting his head on his arms, looking out of place in the surrounding environment.
Take advantage of the moment when the teacher turns his head to write on the blackboard.
Jiang Yuan took out a very small doll, passed it through Shen Wei's arm from under the desk, and stuffed the small doll between Shen Wei's face and the desk through the gap.
The doll was given to him by Chen Wei two years ago.
Strictly speaking, they got it by participating in an event when they passed by a newly opened video game arcade.
The doll is a brown bear wearing a small hat and carrying an apricot bag across its body, as if it is going out for a spring outing.
Chen Wei usually wasn't interested in these plush toys, so he gave it to Jiang Yuan the first time he got it.
Jiang Yuan has been preserved until now.
Jiang Yuan took his eyes off the doll and said, "It's more comfortable to use as a cushion."
Chen Wei's face sunk deep into the doll, his stiff neck freed, and he muttered, "Thanks, brother."
Jiang Yuan withdrew his hand and did not answer.
Finally, a physics class ended and Shen Wei just woke up. He patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder and asked, "Do you want to go to the bathroom?"
"Um."
Jiang Yuan followed Shen Wei out of the classroom door.
The two men were actually about the same height, but Jiang Yuan was taller than Shen Wei. He followed Shen Wei's steps closely.
There are many students in No. 1 Middle School, and it is very lively after class. The corridors are full of students playing and fighting. Perhaps because the daily study tasks are too tight, many people take advantage of the break time outside the corridors of the senior high school.
The entire teaching building was designed in a quadrangle style, with access to all directions. Shen Wei and Jiang Yuan walked side by side in the corridor.
They were wearing the light apricot uniforms of No. 1 Middle School with the school logo and nameplate on the chest. The shirt vests made them look taller and longer-legged. The shirt buttons above the vests were unbuttoned, leaving the collar open, revealing a long, white neck.
Jiang Yuan buttoned his shirt to the top with an indifferent expression.
The expensive uniforms paired with the two handsome faces make them look very attractive.
Everyone who passed by them looked sideways.
I don’t know how two people with such different personalities can get along well with each other.
Both of them have good grades in school, but Chen Wei's grades are not very stable. Moreover, their appearance is equally good. To this day, the title of school idol is still fluctuating between the two. Logically speaking, no matter from which aspect, the two should be in a competitive relationship.
Unexpectedly, the relationship between the two was unexpectedly good and seemed extremely harmonious.
Until an insider revealed that the two grew up together and had a close relationship that allowed them to wear the same pants. Their relationship was more than family and better than family.
Everyone suddenly realized that they were childhood sweethearts.
The two people at the center of attention didn't seem to have any special reaction.
After all, they have received a lot of attention since they were very young and have become accustomed to it.
Chen Wei hunched his shoulders slightly, hunched his body, slowed down his pace, and moved closer to Jiang Yuan and said, "My mom isn't home tonight. Do you want to play games with me and then watch the game together?"
Jiang Yuan said, "Okay."
When school was over, the sound of packing up could be heard all around. Jiang Yuan put on his schoolbag and picked up the already packed schoolbag on the table for Shen Wei with one hand. He said to Shen Wei, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
Shen Wei followed beside him, holding his coat in his hand, and walked out of the classroom without any self-consciousness about carrying his schoolbag.
When they were young, they fought over who was the boss, and the loser had to carry the other's schoolbag.
It's not out of malice, but just for the sake of betting, there must be some stakes.
Jiang Yuan had said that he would let Chen Wei be number one, so he did not break his promise on this matter, and Chen Wei naturally became the boss among them.
In this way, the bet of helping Shen Wei carry his schoolbag has continued until now and has become a habit.
Chen Wei followed Jiang Yuan, adjusted the cufflinks of his school uniform, and said, "Eat the noodles you made. They're delicious."
Jiang Yuan nodded.
The two walked home side by side. Jiang Yuan lowered his eyes and sent a message to his mother, telling her that he would not be home for dinner tonight.
With a glance, Jiang Yuan's shoelaces were untied.
Jiang Yuan handed the phone and schoolbag to Chen Wei and leaned over to tie his shoelaces.
The phone in his hand vibrated, and Chen Wei unlocked Jiang Yuan's phone very naturally, and saw that the person with the note "Mom" sent a message.
It's a three-second voice message.
A gentle female voice came from the receiver, saying, "I understand. What are you guys having for dinner?"
Shen Wei was too lazy to type, so his fingertips slid to the small microphone on the screen.
He said, "Auntie, I asked him to cook noodles for me tonight."
Jiang Yuan had already tied his shoelaces and stood up.
However, Chen Wei didn't ask him to help carry the schoolbag. He slung the schoolbag over one shoulder and looked down at Jiang Yuan's phone screen. His long eyelashes blinked, and the light from the screen illuminated his eyes.
Jiang Yuan was taller than him, and his peripheral vision fell on the joints of Shen Wei's neck. The open collar allowed Jiang Yuan to see the curve of his spine.
He then said nothing and let Chenwei fiddle with his phone.
After chatting with Jiang Yuan's mother, Shen Wei exited the chat history and saw the message sent by the class committee member.
We are already as familiar as family members, and we don’t need to avoid each other’s messages anymore.
Jiang Yuan said that Chen Wei can watch anything.
Shen Wei said, "You're already in your third year of high school, why haven't you given any notes to other people?"
Jiang Yuan withdrew his gaze from his bony hands and said, "We don't usually chat."
"Oh, I've added the name of the student committee member to the notes for you."
"She said she wanted to ask you some questions."
Jiang Yuan said, "Yeah."
Shen Wei asked, "Then I'll help you get back?"
Jiang Yuan remained silent.
It means default.
[Okay, next Monday.]
He imitated Jiang Yuan's tone of voice when speaking to others and replied.
Chen Wei lowered his eyes, scrolled across Jiang Yuan's phone screen, and asked, "What did you note for me?"
The two rarely chat online. They basically stay together offline and rarely have the opportunity to communicate online.
Before he could reply, the weight on Shen Wei's hand suddenly lightened.
Jiang Yuan took the phone from Shen Wei's hand.
Chen Wei teased him, "Sure, did you give me some shameful name?"
Jiang Yuan didn't answer.
Shen Wei said: "No notes for me?"
Jiang Yuan's expression did not change.
Not the correct answer.
"Give me a note—"
Before he could finish, someone called out to Shen Wei.
Shen Wei's gaze was fixed on a quiet-looking girl in front of him.
He asked, "What's wrong, classmate?"
Shen Wei glanced at the girl's hand hanging by her side, which was holding a letter.
He was already very familiar with being confessed to, and he was about to politely refuse when the girl walked past him, walked up to Jiang Yuan, and handed him the letter.
Shen Wei was speechless.
He shrugged. Jiang Yuan's approach to dealing with such situations was too direct. Sometimes Chen Wei couldn't bear to see the girls' lost expressions.
So, before the girl and Jiang Yuan got embarrassed, he put his arm around Jiang Yuan's shoulders.
Chen Wei smiled and said to the girl, "I regret that you didn't confess your feelings to me, but we have to catch the bus now. Sorry."
Then, Shen Wei stretched out his index finger and poked Jiang Yuan's shoulder.
Jiang Yuan followed up by saying, "I'm sorry."
Then, Chen Wei led his men away.
The light of the setting sun made their shadows very long, and they walked out of the school gate in the light.
"Why did it take so long and you still have to rely on me to rescue you?"
Jiang Yuan finally smiled and responded to him.
He said, "Thank you, boss."
Chen Wei was unhappy and said, "Stop yelling, it's so earthy."
"good."
When he was a child, Chen Wei forced Jiang Yuan to call him "Boss". When he grew up, he forced Jiang Yuan not to call him "Boss".
Only occasionally, Jiang Yuan would still call him by this name, which showed that Jiang Yuan was in a good mood at the moment.
"Remember, you can't call me that."
"Um."
Shen Wei said, "Answer well."
Jiang Yuan said, "I'll remember that."
When they returned home, Shen Wei threw his and Jiang Yuan's schoolbags into the room, while Jiang Yuan walked to the kitchen of Shen Wei's house as if he was familiar with the place.
There are also some bowls and knives in the kitchen that were purchased by Jiang Yuan. Chen Wei's parents often go on business trips and rarely come back for ten days or half a month. Jiang Yuan's parents are also busy with work, and most of the time they have to prepare their own meals. Jiang Yuan often comes to cook for Chen Wei.
It's been about two or three years.
They are all familiar with the structure of each other's homes.
Jiang Yuan added some more chopped peppers to the bottom of the bowl according to Chen Wei's taste.
Cooking noodles is not difficult. Chen Wei always says that he wants to eat the dishes cooked by Jiang Yuan. After thinking about it, he always chooses noodles.
Quick and delicious.
When the noodles were served, Chen Wei came down from upstairs in slippers.
While eating, Shen Wei said, "I have updated the game. I will play it in my bedroom later. I can take a break now that the monthly exam is over."
"Why don't you just sleep here tonight, as usual."
Chen Wei chewed the food in his mouth and said, "Please don't reject me."
He was very good at using his face and knew how to make others feel good about him. In his grade, and even in the whole school, Shen Wei was well-known for his handsome appearance and ability to coax people. Even the most difficult teachers would smile when facing Shen Wei.
If it weren't for the school rules, Chen Wei might have already become a scumbag who was cursed by thousands of people.
After Chen Wei had interacted with a few of them, he felt that they were still too boring. His heartbeat was not even as fast as when he lost points playing games with his brothers.
In high school, it was nothing more than holding hands and eating together. There was no freedom, so Chen Wei no longer had any interest in this aspect after that.
However, there are really a lot of girls on the list. He basically doesn't take the initiative, but when others send messages, he will reply out of politeness. Therefore, there are rumors on campus that Chen Wei is a scumbag.
But there is no substantial evidence.
The rumors at that time did not have any malicious intent, but were more of a kind of gossip about the handsome guy, and people mostly spoke of it in a joking manner.
Chen Wei felt that there was nothing wrong with what he did, and he didn't care much about this title.
Anyway, it has been many years since he fell in love with a girl, and there is no one he likes now.
Anything that can be solved with your face is not a problem.
Shen Wei was very familiar with solving problems by using his face.
If it really doesn't work, he still has money.
When facing Jiang Yuan, he did not think of teasing Jiang Yuan in the same way as he would treat a member of the opposite sex. He just said that request with his eyelids half drooping and his eyes earnest, looking extremely sincere.
There was no way his friend could solve the problem with money.
Jiang Yuan paused for a moment, staring at Shen Wei's face.
He moved his mouth, and finally said, "Okay."
Jiang Yuan always takes the initiative to take care of the housework, and Chen Wei feels that it is really comfortable to get along with this brother.
Jiang Yuan was washing dishes downstairs, and Chen Wei went upstairs to adjust the room temperature to a suitable level and pull out the side-by-side gaming chairs.
After the extremely cool startup, Jiang Yuan's footsteps also approached.
Without even turning his head, Shen Wei said, "I've got the computer configuration and everything ready."
"good."
Jiang Yuan's voice came from behind.
Then, a plate of peeled grapes was placed next to Shen Wei.
Shen Wei was a little surprised.
His eyes fell on the plate of grapes. The flesh was plump and even the seeds had been removed.
"tasty."
Shen Wei casually pinched one and put it into his mouth.
The pull-out wet wipes were placed next to him, and Jiang Yuan pushed them over to him.
Chen Wei seemed to have gotten used to Jiang Yuan's care, and he didn't say anything.
The two are extremely talented in the game, and they work together to kill people in the canyon.
"Give me a sip of milk!"
Chen Wei controlled the hero without taking his eyes off the screen, and his voice was extremely steady.
Jiang Yuan had caught up before he finished speaking.
The precarious health bar was restored by the nurse. After Shen Wei breathed a sigh of relief, he quickly knocked the enemy hero behind the nurse away.
Afterwards, reinforcements arrived from the other side, and after some extremely tacit cooperation.
Shen Wei got a pentakill.
The two men pushed forward to the other side's high ground unhindered.
Then they won the victory in one wave.
Shen Wei played aggressively, and after the game, his teammates praised him in front of McGrady.
Apart from Jiang Yuan, the rest of the teammates failed to keep up with his rhythm for several waves and almost lost the game. Chen Wei had no intention of talking to them and took Jiang Yuan out of the room.
It’s still more comfortable to cooperate with Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan usually plays some supporting roles to assist Jiang Yuan.
He was the only one who could keep up with Shen Wei's gaming pace.
After the game ended, while waiting for the ranking, Shen Wei started eating with a fruit plate.
Jiang Yuan doesn't like to eat these, so usually, they are left to Chen Wei to deal with.
The two of them were at a high level and were playing in a duo, so the waiting time was a little longer.
Before he could enter the game, Shen Wei's phone vibrated.
The fruit plate hit the table, making a noise.
Shen Wei put down the fruit plate, picked up his phone, and read the message on the screen clearly.
Shen Wei canceled the ranking and said, "Wait a moment, I'm going downstairs to get something."
Jiang Yuan said, "Okay."
It's already seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
I don’t know who came to deliver something to Shen Wei.
Jiang Yuan walked to the window of Shen Wei's room and opened the curtains.
He stared down from the second floor with an expressionless face.
Downstairs, Shen Wei opened the door.
Just now, the student council of the next class sent him a message, saying that they would send him a set of physics exercises with high gold content.
It is said that the confidentiality level is very high, there is no electronic version, and it can only be obtained through special channels.
Shen Wei had long been eyeing this set and had found a way to get it.
The student council member of the next class had some resources at home. I happened to have added Shen Wei before, and saw the circle of friends posted by Shen Wei. I found a way to get this set of questions. I just sent a message to Shen Wei, asking him to come downstairs to get it.
Chen Wei thought about it, and packed a bag of snacks for his eldest brother from home, and put in the bag the perfume of the previous brand that he had given to his mother but his mother had never opened. His mother said that this perfume had a light floral scent, suitable for young girls, but not for her, and there was no point in her keeping it.
Out of politeness, Chen Wei stuffed the perfume into the snack bag, thinking of thanking the person properly.
The girl got out of the all-black car.
She also walked towards Shen Wei carrying a bag of something that was unclear.
It was completely dark outside the window. There were lights in the courtyard outside the house, reflecting the girl's figure.
Shen Wei smiled and took the things from the girl's hand, and handed the snacks to her in the same way.
The girl seemed to have dressed up and put on light makeup. Even though Jiang Yuan was upstairs, he could still see her facial features, which were extremely outstanding.
Jiang Yuan couldn't hear clearly what Chen Wei said to the girl downstairs, but they seemed to be having a very happy conversation.
Jiang Yuan lifted the curtain with his index finger, revealing half of his body. He was facing away from the light, his eyes were dim, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
Chen Wei saw the girl off and even opened the car door for her. After the girl left, Chen Wei seemed to sense something and looked up to see a dark shadow on the second floor.
Jiang Yuan was staring at him, and he didn't know how long he had been staring at him.
Shen Wei suddenly felt a chill on his back.
