Chapter 3 Flag Raising
Almost all the students in the school lined up and came down. After the host on the rostrum announced the official start of the flag-raising ceremony, Ren Yizi and the other three flag bearers, each holding one side of the national flag, walked step by step towards the flag-raising platform.
When they reached the flag stand, Wen Siru came over and took the national flag. The two nodded to each other and began to tie up the national flag together.
Ren Yizi caught a glimpse of the media holding cameras and cannons on the runway, and he was actually a little nervous. He wondered if the camera had made him look ugly.
After a while, my palms were sweating and the sticky stuff got onto the inner core of the white gloves.
I'll go back and wash these gloves, and then return them to Wen Si Ru, Ren Yizi thought.
As the national anthem sounded, it resounded through the sky. The flag-raiser threw away the national flag, and Ren Yizi and Wen Siru stood on both sides of the flagpole and saluted.
During this long process, Ren Yizi somehow stole a glance at Wen Si Ru standing beside him.
The young man had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, long legs and leather boots. The morning sun shone on him, and the halo devoutly outlined his cheeks, making the whole person shine, and the badge on the white uniform was dazzling.
Wen Si Ru noticed the gaze and looked over at him. The smile on his face was as clean and refreshing as pure water, sweet and refreshing.
Many years later, when Ren Yizi recalled this scene again, he had long forgotten the people in the playground and the cameras of the media. It was as if he and Wen Siru were the only two people left in the world. He only remembered the young man who was full of light and the fiery look in his eyes that made people unable to look away.
At the same time, the students standing on the playground started to stir slightly:
Classmate A: "Puff, puff, do you see it at one o'clock?"
Classmate B: "Wow, I see it, I see it, two of these influential figures standing together, so pleasing to the eyes."
Student A: "Just now I saw them staring at each other, there was a lot of tension between them."
Classmate B: "Huh? At first I thought there was some tension between them, but the more I watch, the gayer they become."
Student A: "Oh, I see. I bumped into it, I bumped into it..."
Classmate C: "Swearing at everything will only hurt you. Didn't you hear about the gay guy who harassed him by posting his dick on WeChat Moments a while ago? Be careful you get beaten up by the school bully if you talk about this."
Classmate A said at the same time, "You don't understand. This is called homophobia and being in the closet~"
Student C: “???”

"What? There's a bed available so soon? Lao Feng, you're so efficient!"
After school in the afternoon, Ren Yizi received a call from Hei Xuanfeng and went home to get his packed luggage.
"Didn't you ask me today? I reported it to the school, and I didn't expect there would actually be a vacant bed. You're lucky, kid."
"Ah, then thank you Director Feng~"
"I worked so hard to get you a good bed and a nice dormitory. You have to cherish it, okay?"
Ren Yizi felt sleepy after listening to what he said. He answered the person on the other end of the phone in a confused and intermittent manner. It seemed that Hei Xuanfeng's saliva was about to spurt out of the phone.
"By the way," Black Whirlwind stretched out his tone and emphasized, "Stop smoking and drinking. You're living on campus now, so your cell phone has to be handed over to your homeroom teacher for safekeeping. You can only get it back after school every Friday..."
Upon hearing this, Ren Yizi immediately put his phone away and deliberately yelled incoherently: "Hello? Can you hear me, Teacher Feng? Is the signal bad... I can't hear you clearly, I'm hanging up..."

Ren Yizi rushed to school after the evening study ended, and just now he and Qin Yang moved their luggage to dormitory 520.
His luggage wasn't large, but it was heavy. Qin Yang breathlessly complained, "Brother Zi, what are you carrying here? Stones? Why are they so heavy?"
Seeing Qin Yang like this, Ren Yizi took three more steps and laughed at him: "Old Qin, you are not good enough. You are so tired with such a small amount of weight? I have an abdominal wheel, dumbbells and a fitness mat in my bag..."
Qin Yang gasped in shock, leaning against the handrail and saying, "Brother, are you going to use the dormitory as a gym?"
Ren Yizi: "It's not impossible. Anyway, Black Whirlwind told me that this dormitory is quite big. It seems that it was a former faculty dormitory that was converted into a student dormitory for the two of us to live in."
Qin Yang was extremely envious when he heard this. The dormitories in the school include twelve-person rooms, eight-person rooms, six-person rooms, and double rooms like this one. It is said that double rooms are for top students with excellent academic performance, and teachers' children can also live there if they use private connections.
Although there were only two of them, the space was the largest. Compared to the birdcage crammed into a twelve-person room, where one had to listen to their roommates' thunderous snoring every night and fight over shower spots, Qin Yang was truly filled with envy. He quickly asked Ren Yizi, who was walking in front of him, "Brother Zi, how did you get a dormitory like this from Black Whirlwind?"
Ren Yizi had already reached room 520. He turned around and spread his hands, the shiny key lying in his palm. "I asked him this morning during the flag-raising ceremony. He probably asked the school's accommodation department for me. I didn't expect he would be able to find such a good dormitory for me."
As he spoke, he opened the door with the key. A fragrance hit him in the face and lingered at the tip of his nose, as if he had smelled it somewhere before.
Before Ren Yizi could think about it, Qin Yang couldn't wait to squeeze in, put Ren Yizi's luggage bag on the seat, looked around, and said with a sigh: "Fuck, Brother Zi, I want to apply to live here too!"
"You wish. It's no big deal. Black Whirlwind will definitely not let you move out of your original dormitory." Ren Yizi said as he put his luggage together and looked around the dormitory.
The bed was a new wooden bed, no wonder Qin Yang was making such a fuss. Except for the double rooms, almost all the dormitories in the school had iron beds. They had been used for many years and made a creaking sound when turning over, which greatly affected the quality of sleep and the relationship in the dormitory.
The lower bunk was already occupied. There were two tables and chairs side by side in the dormitory, and one of the tables was already filled with books and extracurricular tutoring exercises.
Qin Yang also looked at the table full of books and exclaimed in a naive manner. He fired off a barrage of questions, "Holy crap, man, your roommate is such a nerd! With so many books, does he have time to read them all? Can he even finish them all?"
Ren Yizi took out a wet towel and climbed onto the bed to wipe it. He was annoyed by Qin Yang's noisy behavior, so he said a few perfunctory words and reminded Qin Yang that if he didn't go back to take a shower, he would have to wait for a cold shower.
Qin Yang was excited and said that he would come up to play next time. Then he disappeared in a flash and ran back downstairs at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
Ren Yizi didn't have much stuff, so he made his bed and arranged his daily necessities in no time. He finally took out the white gloves that Wen Siru had given him that morning, washed them and dried them on the balcony. He was thinking that he would return them to Class 3 (1) after they were dry, when the dormitory door was opened.
Ren Yizi heard the noise and looked over to see what his roommate looked like.
——It was the person I just met this morning.
