Chapter 81
Chapter 81
Shu Meiru should not be asleep yet. Shu Yao didn't dare to bring Chen Ye into the house, so he could only pull his sleeve and pull him to a corner under the eaves to avoid the wind.
The snowflakes seemed to no longer bring coolness. Shu Yao wrapped his down jacket tightly around him and looked down at the shabby little dog in his palm.
"Why are you here?"
With the wind at his back, Shen Ye shielded her tightly from the elements, and said casually, "According to the weather forecast, Nanjiang will have its first snow today."
Shu Yao raised his eyes: "So?"
"It doesn't snow much in Fuchuan, so I came to take a look."
Shu Yao chuckled, but didn't expose him. He squatted down and started fiddling with the snow on the ground.
Shen Ye squatted beside her silently. Seeing that her hands were red from the cold, he took out a pair of gloves from his pocket, held her wrists, and pulled her hands over.
"How come you even have gloves?"
"My mom stuffed it in my pocket before I left the house."
"Does your mother know you're coming here?"
"Um."
Shu Yao let him help her put it on, and said with a sincere sigh: "Your mother is really open-minded."
Shen Ye raised his eyes and looked at her: "Are you unhappy on New Year's Eve?"
"I was a little unhappy just now." After putting on gloves, his hands felt much warmer, and Shu Yao continued to make a snowman with his head down. "But now, I'm quite happy."
Two snowballs, one big and one small, were stacked together.
When she saw the prototype of the snowman, she asked Shen Ye: "Guess what this is?"
Shen Ye looked down and said, “Radish.”
Shu Yao lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "It's you."
"Oh." Shen Ye said lazily, "I do look like a radish sometimes."
Shu Yao: “…”
She made a hat out of straw and put it on her radish head. Turning around, she saw Shen Ye also made one in the same way as hers.
He slowly pushed the snowman over, and their fat bodies collided with each other.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of fireworks was heard again in the distance.
Shu Yao glanced at his phone and it was midnight.
The car parked on the road turned on its lights, as if to remind him. Shen Ye took a look and said, "I'm leaving. I promised my mother that I would rush back before tomorrow morning and go see grandma with her."
Shu Yao opened his eyes wide in surprise.
He came here in such a hurry, but he wanted to go back in such a hurry.
"You just came to say Happy New Year to me?"
"Not really." Chen Ye looked down at the two snowmen standing side by side, and tapped one of them on the head with his index finger. "I came here to pick two radishes with you."
Shu Yao stood up, brushed the snow off his thighs, and walked him to the roadside.
He turned around and rubbed her head through the hood of her down jacket: "See you at the beginning of school."
"See you at the beginning of school..." Shu Yao muttered to himself.
His figure gradually became blurred in the heavy snow.
Snowflakes fluttered on his face, bringing a cool breeze. Shu Yao looked down at the gloves on his hands, but felt as if a warm current was flowing out in his heart.
She didn't care at all whether her mother could hear her and called out to him at the top of her lungs.
"Shen Ye."
Chen Ye stopped and looked back. The strands of hair on his forehead swayed gently in the wind. Under the dim street lights, his gaze seemed to melt the snow on the ground.
Shu Yao ran up to him, took off his gloves, and said in a trembling voice, "You didn't take your gloves..."
Shen Ye reached out to take it and stuffed it into his pocket.
"Anything else you want to say?"
One lowered her head, the other raised her head, and their eyes met. Shu Yao always felt as if there was a string pulling her towards him.
The two words were so light that they were almost drowned out by the sound of fireworks.
But Shen Ye still heard it clearly.
She said, "Shu Yao."
Shen Ye was stunned for a moment, then after he reacted, he smiled, closed his eyes, leaned over and rested his head on her shoulder.
He fell asleep again.
At this moment, wrapped in his body temperature, Shu Yao felt warm as spring all around.
She curled her right hand, raised it up, and pinched the corner of his clothes.
"Happy New Year."
Winter vacation is over in a flash.
As we enter the next semester, all the senior high school students seem to be using twenty-four hours as forty-eight hours.
For fear of affecting each other's state, Shu Yao and Chen Ye did not contact each other very often except for weekly tutoring.
I thought the hundred days would be very long, but with the start and end of the first, second and third mock exams, in the blink of an eye, only single digits were left.
The night before the college entrance examination, Shu Yao thought she would be very nervous, but when the time really came, she instead felt a sense of calmness as if the outcome had already been decided.
After I put away the test papers on the table, it was only nine o'clock.
Shu Yao took a shower and prepared to go to bed early. When he came out, there was a knock on the door.
She walked over to open the door and saw her uncle outside holding two big red T-shirts with a happy look on his face.
"Yaoyao, wear this tomorrow!"
Shu Yao took the T-shirt and took a look at it. It wasn't tacky at all, but it was an exceptionally bright red.
"Uncle, that's not necessary." She tactfully put the blame on the school, "The school requires everyone to wear uniforms."
"Hey, it's been raining these past two days and the temperature is low. Who would notice you wearing it underneath your school uniform?" Shu Ming said, "Your aunt even specially ordered a cheongsam. She'll go to the school gate tomorrow to ask for good luck for you."
Shu Yao thought so too, she couldn't waste her uncle and aunt's kindness.
"Okay." She glanced down again, "But why two?"
Shu Ming said as a matter of course: "For that boy. I heard from his mother that their family didn't prepare anything. I thought it would be the same if I bought one or two anyway, so I bought one more."
“…” Shu Yao imagined how Chen Ye would look wearing this bright red T-shirt, and inexplicably found it a little funny.
Her eyes rolled and she said, "Okay, I'll give it to him tomorrow morning."
Close the door.
Shu Yao spread the two T-shirts on the bed, took a photo and sent it to Chen Ye.
Shu Yao: [My uncle said I should wear this underneath my school uniform tomorrow.]
Chen Ye: [OK.]
Shu Yao:?
You agreed so readily?
She said as if she was enjoying the show: [Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?]
Chen Ye: [It looks pretty good.]
“…” Shu Yao thought, maybe straight men’s aesthetic tastes are just so consistent.
The first day is red, which means a good start.
The second day is green, which means smooth sailing.
The third day is gray, which means a bright future.
The college entrance examination came to an end in these colorful memories.
The classroom was as noisy as a vegetable market. Some people excitedly tore at their test papers and threw them around, while others sat in their seats silently crying.
Shu Yao remained calm throughout the whole process, sorting out the few remaining review materials in his desk.
The head teacher gave some instructions on things to note, such as filling out applications when returning to school, and then notified everyone that they could leave.
It was not as reluctant as shown in TV dramas. Everyone in the classroom ran away in less than ten seconds.
Shu Yao took out the phone from her schoolbag and turned it on. She found a message from Chen Ye about five minutes ago: [I'm on the rooftop.]
Why did you suddenly go to the rooftop?
Could it be that I didn’t do well in the exam?
Shu Yao grabbed his schoolbag and ran out quickly.
I arrived at the rooftop panting, and the iron gate was closed.
Shu Yao just put his right hand on the door handle when he heard a familiar female voice coming from behind the door:
"Chen Ye, do you... have a girlfriend?"
Shu Yao stopped.
If she was not mistaken, the voice should belong to her classmate, Jiang Yayun.
During this year, she had several contacts with Jiang Yayun, but she had no idea that she actually had a good impression of Shen Ye.
She lowered her eyes, not knowing for a moment whether to leave or open the door.
At the same time, Shen Ye's calm answer reached his ears.
"No, but I have someone I like."
Jiang Yayun was silent for a moment, then asked, "Yes, Shu Yao?"
Shen Ye said “hmm”.
There was no sense of loss in Jiang Yayun's voice, but rather a sense of relief.
"Okay, now that I've said it, I'm satisfied. I wish you happiness."
"Thanks."
"No wonder you two have been wearing the same color T-shirts these past few days. You're wearing matching outfits for the college entrance exam too, right?"
Shu Yao:?
What kind of outfit?
Shu Yao originally wanted to say that Jiang Yayun's imagination was too big, but she didn't expect that Chen Ye not only did not deny it, but also said "hmm".
Shu Yao: “…”
She suddenly realized. No wonder he agreed so readily when she asked him to wear it. It turned out that he was waiting here.
Sensing that Jiang Yayun was about to leave, Shu Yao hid behind the door.
The iron door was slowly pushed open, and Jiang Yayun's footsteps went down the stairs and gradually disappeared from his ears.
Shu Yao then came out from behind the door, but she didn't expect to meet Chen Ye's gaze at first sight.
He leaned against the stair railing and looked at her leisurely: "Why are you hiding here?"
Shu Yao pursed her lips: "I'm afraid she will be embarrassed."
She didn't care, but she thought that no one would want to be seen by others when their confession failed.
What's more, this "other person" was the main reason for her failure.
"So you heard everything?" Shen Ye asked.
Shu Yao nodded.
"That--"
Seeing him take a step forward, Shu Yao instinctively stepped back, but found that there was a wall behind him.
He leaned over, supporting his knees with his hands. In the dim corner, his eyes seemed to be the only source of light.
The distance between the two of them was so close that Shu Yao could even feel the heat of his breath on her cheek.
He smiled, but his tone was serious: "Student Shu Yao, do you have a boyfriend?"
Shu Yao raised her eyes and met his burning gaze.
No one spoke for several seconds after that.
Her heart was beating wildly, and impulse drove her forward, gently brushing her lips against his cheek.
A smile appeared between her eyebrows and she answered his question: "Yes."
Shen Ye’s Adam’s apple rolled, and his voice was a little low: “That’s it?”
"What?"
He stood up, placed his right hand on the back of her neck, his gesture firm to prevent her from retreating, then lowered his head again, robbing her of her breath.
The teaching building has only four floors. The windows in the stairwell are open, and Shu Yao can clearly hear the sounds of students playing and fighting downstairs.
And in the extremely dark corner behind the iron gate, the two inexperienced people were groping slowly, their lips and teeth entangled.
Shu Yao never thought that one day he would be so bold, and he was always worried that someone would suddenly come up.
There was a "bang" sound from somewhere, and Shu Yao trembled instinctively. She put her hands on his chest, trying to push him away.
However, Shen Ye controlled her hands with one hand, pressed them on her lower abdomen, and gently pinched the back of her neck with his right hand.
"Focus."
When it was over, Shu Yao's face was so red that it looked like it was about to burn.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on his back.
She unzipped her school uniform, leaned against the wall and let out a long breath.
Chen Ye took her hand with a satisfied look on his face and led her down the stairs.
Shu Yao hadn't recovered from the shock just now, and asked confusedly, "Where are we going?"
"Date." Shen Ye's crisp answer echoed in the stairwell.
Although the college entrance examination is over, many students have not returned home, and the campus is particularly lively.
Countless parents and media gathered at the door.
Considering that she was still wearing her school uniform, Shu Yao wanted to let go of his hand, but Chen Ye held it tighter instead.
Shu Yao just let him go.
As soon as the two walked out of the school gate, they felt that many people were looking at them.
Shu Yao didn't care. She shook his arm and discussed with him where to go for dinner.
It was not until he reached the intersection and felt a gust of wind blowing into his stomach that Shu Yao looked down and realized that the zipper of his school uniform jacket was not zipped up.
And he, too.
No wonder she seemed to see someone taking pictures of them when she was leaving the school just now.
Shu Yao's mouth twitched, and he asked awkwardly, "Will we be on the news tomorrow?"
Shen Ye smiled and said, “What news?”
Shu Yao: "Shocking! College entrance exam candidates all wore gray clothes in unison, and it turns out they did it for..."
Shen Ye looked down at her gray T-shirt and said meaningfully: "It doesn't have to be this title."
Shu Yao didn't understand what he meant at that time, until the next day, when she saw herself on Weibo.
The photo of her and Chen Ye holding hands was indeed taken by reporters and made into a news article specializing in the college entrance examination.
But the title is -
The envy of others! College entrance exam candidates wear couple outfits to the exam room!
I'll take a day off tomorrow, and will start updating the brother extra story the day after tomorrow. The content shouldn't be too much.
