Li Xiangze usually has a habit of looking to the side of himself from time to time during class.
In addition to physics, Xiao Mingyang is very serious in math class. At other times, as long as he looks to the side, he can almost make eye contact with him.
Every time their eyes met, Xiao Mingyang would smile at him and then secretly rub his hand with his little finger.
But now Xiao Mingyang is gone.
The seat next to him was empty. When he looked to the side during class, he could only see an empty desk.
I feel empty inside and it's really unpleasant.
Suddenly he remembered the small jar that Xiao Mingyang mentioned during the video call with him.
He groped in the drawer and pulled out a glass sugar jar filled with paper stars. Some of the colors were so pale that you could see the black ink showing through.
Without hesitation, he took out a star from the candy jar and took it apart. Inside, there was a line of crooked words written: There are three kinds of mud in the world, mashed potatoes, plasticine, and - I like you!
There is also a small red heart drawn on the back.
Corny love words.
Li Xiangze smiled, his heart softening.
Little lamb, so cute.
It was the last class in the afternoon. As soon as the bell rang, everyone rushed out of the classroom like crazy. Li Xiangze slowly cleaned up the table, walked out of the classroom calmly, and walked towards the cafeteria alone.
If Xiao Mingyang were still there, they would usually be together. Now that Xiao Mingyang is not in school, he is alone.
In fact, it was the same in Donghe County No. 1 Middle School before.
Eat alone and go to the toilet alone.
He never felt lonely.
Everything is different now that I'm here.
Whether he was eating, going to the toilet, or even getting water, there was always someone chattering around him.
Once you get used to being in a crowd, you won’t be used to being alone again.
He opened his cell phone, stared at the time for a long time, and finally put the phone back into his pocket.
"Brother Ze!" Bai Tao, sweating profusely as he held the ball, waved at him, "Let's go, let's eat together!"
Li Xiangze knew that Bai Tao and Xiao Mingyang were childhood friends, and they played together when they were wearing open-crotch pants.
But to be honest, I don't have much interaction with him. I only went to see him when I went to rescue Xiao Mingyang last time. Apart from that, they have no interaction at all.
"No need." Li Xiangze walked past him and headed towards the cafeteria.
Bai Tao quickly chased after him: "No! If I don't complete the task Xiao Ming gave me, he'll be nagging me for a whole year! Give me some face!"
Li Xiangze raised his eyebrows: "What task did the little sheep give you?"
Hearing this name, Bai Tao choked on his saliva and coughed for a long time: "Little Lamb? Xiao Mingyang?"
He shuddered.
"What...did he tell you?" Li Xiangze slowed down his pace.
"Let me have dinner with you, or you'll hang the photo of me in crotchless pants on the campus wall," Bai Tao said helplessly. "Can you please control this guy? I'm speechless!"
Hearing this, Li Xiangze raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Very cute."
Bai Tao: “…”
Bai Tao: “…………”
Bai Tao was going crazy: "Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Could you please stop showing off and forgive me, a desperate straight man!"
The curl of Li Xiangze's mouth became more pronounced, and his tone became lighter: "Let's go and eat."
Evening self-study ends at 10 pm and lights are turned off at 11 pm, leaving me with an hour of free time.
After taking a shower, Li Xiangze sat at the table to do his homework, putting his phone aside, waiting for Xiao Mingyang's call.
Before he finished the multiple-choice questions, his cell phone rang. Xiao Mingyang requested a video chat and Li Xiangze answered.
Xiao Mingyang's face appeared on the screen, his eyebrows curved with a smile, and he said in a strangled voice: "Baby! Did you miss me?"
Li Xiangze smiled and said, "Don't pinch it, it's oily."
"Where is it oily...By the way, I just took a shower." Xiao Mingyang chuckled.
Li Xiangze instantly understood what he meant and blushed: "I didn't ask you."
"Reporting on the itinerary," Xiao Mingyang continued cheerfully, "I'm wearing the same pajamas as you today! Couple outfits!"
Yan Qi knew that Li Xiangze liked Conan, so she bought a lot of joint items for them, including this set of pajamas, one for each of them.
"You are wearing the same outfit as mine." Li Xiangze exposed her mercilessly.
"How did you know?" Xiao Mingyang was very excited, his eyes shining brightly.
"It smells like you." Li Xiangze said.
Xiao Mingyang smiled and said, "Does it feel like I'm holding you?"
Li Xiangze raised his eyebrows: "Not like that."
"I feel like you're hugging me when I wear your pajamas," Xiao Mingyang said as he hugged himself, "This way we're hugging! Try it!"
"No, that's too stupid." Li Xiangze tilted his head and looked at him, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
"How can I be stupid..." Xiao Mingyang curled his lips, feeling aggrieved.
Li Xiangze's eyes were filled with doting: "Okay, not stupid."
Xiao Mingyang was happy again, holding the phone, and said affectionately: "I miss you so much, I really want to secretly climb over the wall and go back to school to find you."
"Attend the training camp well." Li Xiangze warned.
"I know!" Xiao Mingyang smiled and said something out of nowhere, "Your underwear is so comfortable! Try mine, they're also very comfortable."
Li Xiangze's mouth twitched: "No need."
"Really! When I put on your underwear, I feel..."
Li Xiangze quickly interrupted: "What else? I'm not doing any more questions."
"No!" Xiao Mingyang moved closer to the screen. "I want to see you more to ease my longing for you."
"Then take a look." Li Xiangze put his phone on the stand and prepared to do the questions.
"I know I shouldn't disturb you..." Xiao Mingyang leaned over the screen, looking very aggrieved, his voice sticky, "But I really want to talk to you. A lot of things happened to me today, and I want to tell you everything."
Li Xiangze paused, "Then promise not to say any more nonsense."
"How can this be called nonsense? I'm just flirting with my boyfriend in a reasonable way! Logically speaking, long-distance couples should masturbate over video calls!" Xiao Mingyang said confidently.
Li Xiangze blushed and gritted his teeth: "Are you going to tell me or not?"
"I say!" Xiao Mingyang talked a lot of nonsense to him like a diary, and complained about Lao Yang and Qiu Xun. After that, the lights were turned off.
Li Xiangze turned on the desk lamp: "You're living a fulfilling life."
"It's fulfilling. Apart from studying physics, I'm thinking about you all the time." Xiao Mingyang held the screen with a smile.
The lights were dim, and Li Xiangze's eyes unconsciously drifted to the desk next to him. He pursed his lips and said, "Yeah, I miss you too."
Xiao Mingyang was stunned and smiled foolishly: "The baby is so cute, I want to kiss him..."
"Let's talk about it when you come back." Li Xiangze pursed his lips and smiled.
"You have your final exams the week after next. I wasted a lot of your time today. Let's practice questions together tomorrow while we're still on the phone," said Xiao Mingyang.
Li Xiangze chuckled: "Chatting with my boyfriend is not a waste."
"Aze, so good, I like it so much..." Xiao Mingyang said.
Li Xiangze's ears flushed: "Hmm..."
"Have you seen that little jar?" Xiao Mingyang should have gone to bed. The angle in the video was very strange.
"Yeah," Li Xiangze smiled, "When was it done?"
Xiao Mingyang laughed: "Keep it secret!"
Li Xiangze raised his eyebrows: "Secret?"
Xiao Mingyang nodded: "Yes, keep it secret!"
"I originally had something to tell you, but now..." Li Xiangze smiled, "keep it a secret."
"No, I'm telling you, isn't it enough for me to tell you?" Xiao Mingyang fluttered his bright eyes.
"Too late!" Li Xiangze curled his lips and smiled.
＊
In the next few weeks, Xiao Mingyang and Li Xiangze didn't talk much.
They would video call each other every night. Li Xiangze would be working on his homework, and Xiao Mingyang would lie on the table and watch him quietly after a while. He couldn't disturb his wife's review.
Li Xiangze has his own review plan, and everything is so organized.
After the final exam, Xiao Mingyang used a cell phone that he didn't know where he got it from to call him.
"Baby, how did you do in the exam?" It was very quiet on Xiao Mingyang's side.
Li Xiangze went to a quiet place by the lake and said, "Play steadily."
"That's good," Xiao Mingyang said, "When do you plan to go home?"
Li Xiangze smiled and said, "Tonight's bus."
"Then can I call you secretly during evening study?" Xiao Mingyang's tone was full of anticipation.
"No, I want to sleep in the car." Li Xiangze said.
"How about in a few days?" Xiao Mingyang was eager to try.
"No, I need to go help my mom."
"Oh," Xiao Mingyang said in a low voice, "but we have to go abroad to visit grandpa during the Spring Festival this year, so we can't come to accompany you. We only have so much time to talk on the phone. I want to talk a little longer..."
"There's nothing I can do," Li Xiangze said, pretending to be distressed. "It's impossible for me not to help."
"Well," Xiao Mingyang said in a muffled voice, "let's fight for a while now."
Li Xiangze smiled: "I'm afraid that's not going to work. I still have to pack my luggage."
"Just clean up and beat him at the same time!" Xiao Mingyang was about to cry.
"Be good, I'm busy." Li Xiangze hung up the phone and returned to the dormitory.
Uncle Shi and Xiao Zhe have almost finished cleaning the dormitory.
Li Xiangze was very polite: "Thank you, uncle, godfather."
"Let's go, get in the car first."
＊
Xiao Mingyang was a little distracted in class today. He didn't listen to a question at all, so he had to circle it and ask after class.
When he went to ask questions after class, even Qiu Xun, who was slow-witted, noticed something was wrong with him: "What's wrong with you?"
Xiao Mingyang sighed: "It's okay, go on."
He was in a bad mood until the end of the last class.
I didn't even want to eat, I just lay on the table and thought about nothing.
Qiu Xun waited at the door for a while. Seeing that everyone had left, he was still lying there. She walked over and poked him: "Are you sick?"
"No..." He sighed deeply, "I don't want to eat today, Brother Xun, go by yourself."
"Oh." Qiu Xun took a few steps towards the classroom door when the phone suddenly rang.
"Well... okay," he turned around and called Xiao Mingyang before hanging up the phone, "Your brother is waiting for you at the school gate."
"My brother?" Xiao Mingyang's heart skipped a beat and he immediately climbed up from the table. "My brother!"
Qiu Xun didn't understand why he was so excited: "Then I'll..."
Xiao Mingyang didn't wait for him to finish his words and rushed out of the classroom and towards the school gate.
The temperature has dropped in the past few days and the weather has been foggy. Xiao Mingyang wrapped himself in a down jacket and ran all the way, sweat pouring down his forehead.
When he was still some distance away from the gate, he saw Li Xiangze, who had not had time to change into his school uniform.
He stood at the school gate, holding a thermos lunch bucket in his hand, standing there quietly, white steam coming out when he breathed, and he looked like an ethereal being.
Xiao Mingyang gritted his teeth, accelerated, rushed over and hugged him.
The scent of jasmine filled the air, enveloping him.
