Jasmine milk
The dog days of summer in the south are often the most deadly in summer. The cicadas on the evergreen trees are chirping especially happily. The sticky, humid air rushes towards us like waves of autumn wheat. The No. 16 bus slowly sways to the gate of Lihe No. 4 Middle School. Li Huaizhou walks down slowly. He only feels that the fan hanging around his neck is blowing hot air. He feels a little annoyed and walks to the school with his hands in his pockets.
Before he had taken a few steps, he heard a loud roar, "Li Huaizhou! You are late again today, Monday. Stop hanging around. We are doing a fashion show and you will miss the flag-raising ceremony!" The voice came from the school's principal, Shen Jianhong. He was a typical middle-aged man, wearing a pair of glasses and carrying a thermos cup like a refresher. His classmates affectionately called him "Director Shen". The other party seemed to have been accustomed to this and was still slow. Shen Jianhong looked distressed, "It's only been a few days since school started, and this is the fifth time you've been late. Can you set an alarm?" Li Huaizhou felt like his ears were callused. He hummed perfunctorily. He thought he was going to be scolded again, but he heard Director Shen's voice soften.
"Xiao Xie, you're here just in time. Take him in from the back. The flag-raising ceremony should be starting soon."
Li Huaizhou subconsciously looked up and found that Director Shen was talking to a boy. He had long hair that was not allowed at first glance. It grew all the way to his shoulders and was tied into a low ponytail, which was obediently scattered on his neck. He looked that kind of outstanding and handsome. The broken hair on his forehead almost covered most of his eyes, looking a bit like some kind of long-haired puppy. When Li Huaizhou realized what he was thinking, it was too late. As if he seemed to have sensed something, the boy looked up. His eyes were lighter than normal people, and the chestnut brown should look very beautiful in the sunlight. The moment the two looked at each other, his eyes trembled slightly, but it was only for a moment. His expression was too cold or calm, without much warmth. He didn't look like someone who wanted to get along well with him. Li Huaizhou quickly retracted his gaze, secretly scolding himself in his heart, what were he thinking about? At this moment, the boy actually raised his foot and walked over, standing in front of Li Huaizhou.
"Let's go."
The man's voice was just like him, indifferent, yet very clean, so faint that it seemed like it could float away at any time. Li Huaizhou didn't react for a moment, and was stunned for a while before being awakened by Director Shen's voice, "What are you daydreaming about? You'll be deducted points for being late for the flag-raising ceremony." Li Huaizhou finally reacted and hurried inside.
According to the conversation he heard between this boy and Director Shen, Li Huaizhou could tell that this guy was in the same class as him. However, school had already started for a while, and even if he slept every day, he could be sure that there was no one in the class. After thinking about it, he decided to break the deadlock first. "Are you in our class? I haven't seen you before."
"Something happened, I just got back"
Li Huaizhou pretended to understand and said "oh". This guy was so arrogant. On his first day here, Director Shen actually acted very familiar with him. Thinking of this, he started to make small talk again. "What's your name?" The boy was silent for a while before speaking in a low voice. "Thank you Mo" Li Huaizhou raised an eyebrow. He worked so hard to find a topic, but this guy only replied with a few words. It seemed that he was really difficult to get along with. However, he didn't care. After all, he was a person who lay at the back of the class all day long. There was no need to build good relationships with classmates.
"Li Huaizhou, Huai of Huai River, Zhou of Oasis"
Xie Mo just hummed lightly again. Li Huaizhou felt that he had run out of things to talk about, so he had to quicken his pace. At this moment, the two of them arrived at the playground. The flag-raising ceremony began. Li Huaizhou just felt bored. It was nothing more than the school leaders talking about a bunch of nonsense. It was so hot, it was really unbearable to stay here. Unfortunately, the head teacher Zhou Yu was watching him and it was difficult to slip away.
Maybe the school leaders also felt the heat, so the speeches were unusually short. "Now we want to commend Xie Mo for winning first prize in the Mathematical Olympiad. Please come up and give your speech." Li Huaizhou was originally drowsy, wondering why Xie Mo disappeared as soon as he entered the team. When he heard the familiar name, he barely perked up. Xie Mo was wearing a meticulous school uniform with short sleeves. The ugly and rustic style looked surprisingly good on him. His hair seemed a little wet with sweat, but his face was still pale. The girls around him began to whisper. The so-called speech was actually a draft prepared in advance. Xie Mo's voice was really nice, and he seemed to have deliberately sped up his speech. It was only three minutes long. The school leaders came up again and briefly arranged the work for this week, and then left for exercise.
Li Huaizhou felt like he was about to be sunburned. It was always like this in the summer. People would feel weak in their limbs after staying outside for a while. The canteen was the most crowded at this time. The students who were crazy about the heat rushed in. The smell of sweat and iced drinks mixed together. Li Huaizhou felt uncomfortable. He went in and bought a bag of iced jasmine milk and came out. When the cold liquid entered his mouth, Li Huaizhou felt that he was finally alive. He didn't like crowds, so he just walked towards the classroom.
To his surprise, when he passed by Director Shen's office, he actually saw Xie Mo walking out of it. He must have just finished talking to him. Li Huaizhou thought about it and waved his hand symbolically. Xie Mo still looked the same and hummed in a low voice. To be honest, Li Huaizhou couldn't stand this guy. He was a bit too boring. Thinking of this, Li Huaizhou quickened his pace, but before he took a few steps, he heard a bang behind him. When he turned around, he saw Xie Mo lying on the ground!
Li Huaizhou didn't have time to react and quickly turned around to see Xie Mo's face was pale and sweaty. Did he look like he had low blood sugar? Li Huaizhou hesitated for a few seconds. He didn't have anything sweet on him. Then he saw the jasmine milk in his other hand. After thinking about it, he fed Xie Mo a little. Seeing Xie Mo's face improve, he finally felt relieved. He couldn't let him lie there like this, so he picked him up from the ground and half-dragged him to knock on Director Shen's office.
"Come in," Shen Jianhong was originally reading the news in the work group. When he heard the knock on the door, he spoke directly. As a result, he waited for a long time but no one came in. He even knocked twice. He got up impatiently and opened the door. Li Huaizhou saw that the door was finally opened and quickly handed Xie Mo out. "Director Shen, Xie Mo suddenly fainted. It seems that he has hypoglycemia. Send him to the infirmary." This man looked thin, but he was not light at all. Holding his waist, he could still feel the strong body under the school uniform. Although he was only a high school student, his figure could be said to be very good. His waist and abdomen were tight. Li Huaizhou was even a little jealous. He only had six abdominal muscles, and he had helped him just now. He had at least eight. He curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
While he was thinking about these things, Director Shen was very nervous and quickly called you, "Come on, Li Huaizhou, be a good person and help him to the infirmary." "He is..." While the two were talking, Xie Mo didn't know when he woke up. It can't be counted. It can only be said that he regained some consciousness and said, "Teacher Shen, I can go by myself." Shen Jianhong naturally disagreed and asked you to accompany him. In the end, Li Huaizhou was coerced and lured to go.
Xie Mo walked ahead, his steps a bit unsteady. Li Huaizhou followed him obediently, holding the bottle of jasmine milk in his hand. As he bit into his mouth through the straw, he somehow remembered that Xie Mo had just drunk the same... When he fainted just now, his eyes were obediently closed, and his usually cold and hard expression had softened a bit. He seemed to be quite handsome...? Li Huaizhou realized what he was thinking and quickly shook his head. What the hell was going on?
At this time, Xie Mo suddenly turned his head and spoke indifferently, his eyes still lowered.
"Thanks"
