Li Xiangze's energy has always been an unknown.
He usually goes to the bar at night and no one knows what time he comes back. He never falls asleep the next day and always does exercises during breaks.
He is like a high-speed machine.
After morning self-study get out of class, he lay down on the desk for the first time.
Xiao Mingyang touched his forehead, but the other party didn't move, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
Not hot.
With three minutes left before the end of the first class, he walked across half the school to buy a cup of coffee.
The American coffee he bought was very bitter. Although American coffee had a high status in Xiao Dayang's documents, he still went to the convenience store to buy Assam coffee.
When I got back, the bell for preparation had just rung.
Li Xiangze probably didn't hear it and was still lying there.
I don’t know what time he came back yesterday. Xiao Mingyang felt distressed and didn’t have the heart to call him.
It wasn't until the old man walked into the classroom that he gently patted his wife on the back: "The old man is here."
Li Xiangze rubbed his arm and slowly raised his head.
Xiao Mingyang inserted the straw and handed it to Li Xiangze: "What time did you get back yesterday?"
"Four thirty," Li Xiangze took the cup, "What is this?"
"American," Xiao Mingyang unscrewed the cap of the Assam bottle and placed it in front of Li Xiangze. "It might be a little bitter, but it's refreshing. After that, drink this... Why are you so late?"
"It's the boss's girlfriend's birthday." Li Xiangze took a bite and frowned.
Xiao Mingyang fed him some Assam: "Drink this and it won't be bitter anymore."
"Those two at the back," the old man looked at them, "it's time for class!"
Xiao Mingyang screwed the bottle cap on, smiled at the old man and made an OK gesture.
During the break of the first class, the old man informed us that we would go to the second grade to watch a movie today.
The Normal University Affiliated High School organizes a movie watching event every year. After lunch, we gather at the playground and take the bus to the cinema, with each grade going separately.
Before Li Xiangze, the school also organized movie watching, but they would set up a screen on the playground and use a projector to play the movie. Everyone would move stools from the classroom and sit on the playground to watch the movie.
He had never been to a cinema.
It only takes 10 minutes from the school to the shopping mall where the cinema is located.
Xiao Mingyang chose a seat at the very back. Li Xiangze would get carsick, so he sat by the window.
The bus was shaking, and Xiao Mingyang felt a weight on his shoulder. Li Xiangze's head was resting on his shoulder, and he was sleeping soundly.
The sun outside was a little strong, so he covered his head with his school uniform jacket to block the sun.
Soon the car arrived at the station. Chen Qiu sat next to Xiao Mingyang and turned his head to see the two of them leaning against each other: "Brother Ze hasn't woken up yet?"
Xiao Mingyang nodded and lowered his voice: "You get off the car first."
"Hurry up, if you're slow you won't be able to get a seat!" said Chen Qiu.
Hu Tianyao pushed him and said, "Why are you still blocking the road?"
"Fuck!" Chen Qiu took a big step forward. "I'm almost there. I'm afraid you can't catch up!"
Hu Tianyao was very disdainful: "Just your short legs."
Chen Qiu: "Just wait!"
Hu Tianyao: "Waiting."
The two got out of the car and ran away.
Almost everyone on the bus had gotten off. Xiao Mingyang pinched the back of Li Xiangze's neck, lifted the clothes covering his head, and whispered, "We're here."
Li Xiangze nudged his shoulder, slowly raised his head, looked around in confusion, and yawned: "Everyone has left."
There was a light in his eyes, and Xiao Mingyang looked at him with a gentle look in his eyes: "Yeah."
There were too many people in the elevator, so Xiao Mingyang took Li Xiangze up through the emergency passage.
A long line had formed at the entrance of the cinema. The grade leader stood at the door and said, "Girls, go in first! Boys, please wait a moment!"
They were sitting too far back and there were no seats left when they got in, so they found their class and sat on the stairs.
The movie started soon, and before the character introductions in the opening credits were finished, his shoulders sank and Li Xiangze leaned on his shoulders again.
The steps of the cinema were not comfortable to sit on. There was no backrest and the distance between the stairs was not large. Two boys who were over 1.8 meters tall could only sit with their legs bent.
The surroundings were too quiet. Apart from the sound of the movie, all Xiao Mingyang could hear was Li Xiangze's breathing, and the warm temperature penetrated his skin through his short-sleeved T-shirt.
Xiao Mingyang moved closer to his wife to let Li Xiangze sleep more comfortably. He stopped and wanted to hug the other's waist, but after thinking about it, he finally put his hand on the handle of the chair.
Chen Qiu glanced at the extra hand on the handle of his chair, then looked at Li Xiangze: "Brother Ze, are you sick? Why don't you sit here?"
Li Xiangze was sleeping too soundly and didn't hear it.
"Just keep watching," Xiao Mingyang said softly, "It's okay."
Chen Qiu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the grade leader.
"Quiet! What did I say before you left? Maintain discipline even in the cinema!" the grade leader said, "I don't want to hear anyone talking anymore."
Chen Qiu clicked his tongue and leaned back in his chair.
Xiao Mingyang gently tilted his head and slowly traced his outline with his eyes. The light reflected from the movie screen made the hairs on his face clearer. His gaze fell to the corner of his mouth, and the little mole looked particularly cute. Xiao Mingyang pursed his lips, his Adam's apple rolled, and his breathing became disordered. Fortunately, the lights were turned off during the movie theater, otherwise his face would be exposed to the public with a red face, and he would be socially disastrous.
He didn't know what the movie was about, he only remembered the other person's warm breath on his neck and the infinitely amplified heartbeat.
After the movie ended, they took the bus back to school. Along the way, Chen Qiu was chattering about the plot with Hu Tianyao and the others. Xiao Mingyang did not participate and just watched Li Xiangze quietly.
"Are you feeling better?" His tone softened unconsciously, his voice was not loud, and it sounded like a whisper.
The atmosphere was a bit strange.
But Li Xiangze couldn't tell what was strange about it.
What was even stranger was that this strange atmosphere didn't make him feel uncomfortable, so he simply ignored it.
"Yeah, much better." He thought about it and asked, "Are your hands sore?"
Xiao Mingyang smiled: "It's okay."
They looked at each other and said nothing more.
The atmosphere is more subtle.
For the first time, Li Xiangze discovered that Xiao Mingyang's eye color was much lighter than that of others.
His eyes are as clean as he is.
"Classmate Xiao Ming! Don't you agree?" Chen Qiu suddenly shouted, startling them both.
Li Xiangze was fine, but Xiao Mingyang jumped up from his chair: "Chen Qiu!"
He pinched Chen Qiu's shoulders hard, and Chen Qiu cried out in pain: "Hu Sang Hu Sang! Help me!"
Hu Tianyao smiled maliciously and reached out to poke his knee.
Chen Qiu felt pain and itchiness, and struggled hard: "Ahhh! Help!!!"
Li Xiangze still looked into Xiao Mingyang's eyes.
very beautiful.

After returning to school, day students can go home and boarding students can move freely.
It's not time for dinner yet, so Li Xiangze went back to the dormitory to catch up on his sleep. Xiao Mingyang took a few exercise books and went back to the dormitory to practice.
Before he finished writing a set of test papers, his cell phone rang. Xiao Mingyang rushed into the bathroom and answered the call.
"Yangyang! Can you hear me?!" A familiar voice came from the receiver.
When Xiao Mingyang heard his voice, he remembered the accident that would happen to his father soon.
Is it him?
"Uncle who can hear." Xiao Mingyang replied.
"Oh, it's finally out," the uncle said cheerfully, "I was filming in the mountains during your coming-of-age ceremony last time, so I didn't have time to give you a gift. Just ask for whatever you want!"
There is a thorn in the flesh, even if you ignore it, the pain will still be there.
It's impossible to leave him defenseless.
"Let me think about it."
"Okay, Yangyang," the uncle paused, his tone worried, "Did something happen to you? Why does your tone feel off?"
Xiao Mingyang smiled and said, "It's okay."
"If you have something to say, don't keep it to yourself."
"knew."
Another person's voice came from the phone: "Director Xiao! Gone!"
"Uncle, you go ahead and do your work. I also need to practice some questions." Xiao Mingyang said.
"Hey, remember to tell me what you want! You're welcome!"
"knew!"
After hanging up the phone, he immediately sent a message to Xiao Dayang.
[The most handsome guy in the universe] My uncle asked me what birthday gift I wanted?
【Yang】Buy a car.
[The Most Handsome Guy in the Universe] Isn't that even more dangerous?
[Yang] This is a gift for you. Neither of them has any ill will towards you.
[The Most Handsome Guy in the Universe] If you had no ill intentions, why did you attack my dad?
[Yang] I don’t know either. The day after my father passed away, he also committed suicide.
[The Most Handsome Guy in the Universe] There must always be a purpose for everything you do...
[Yang] He never told anyone the reason, and when I wanted to ask him, he was gone.
【Yang】Sorry.
[The most handsome guy in the universe] No need to say that.
[The most handsome guy in the universe] I will ask him when I find him.
Xiao Mingyang felt like something was blocking his heart, making him feel very uncomfortable.
He pursed his lips and opened the chat box with his uncle.
[The most handsome guy in the universe] Car.
[Uncle] OK.
[Uncle] How about Aston Martin DBR22?
[The most handsome guy in the universe] Thank you, uncle!
[Uncle] Happy coming of age, Yangyang!
Xiao Mingyang put his phone on the table, lay down on it, looked at the question in front of him, but couldn't think at all.
My nose feels a little sore.
My vision gradually blurred.
"Xiao Mingyang." Li Xiangze woke up at some point and was sitting by the bed.
Xiao Mingyang buried his head in his arms, his voice nasal and vague: "Wake up."
He heard the scraping of slippers on the floor.
"Look up." Li Xiangze said.
Xiao Mingyang didn't move: "It's not time for dinner yet, wait a moment."
Li Xiangze simply squatted down and stuffed something into his mouth.
Xiao Mingyang held it in his mouth for a while and said, "Toffee?"
"Yeah," Li Xiangze rubbed his head, "When I was unhappy as a kid, my mom would feed me this. I would feel much better after eating it."
Xiao Mingyang was silent for a while, then blurted out two words: "Thank you."
Xiao Mingyang still didn't look up. Li Xiangze sat down on the edge of his desk, looked at the back of his head, and noticed that his ears were unusually red. He reached out and pinched them, and they were very soft.
His wrist was suddenly grabbed by the other party. Xiao Mingyang turned his head to look over, his voice still nasal and mixed with helplessness: "Stop touching..."
My heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Xiao Mingyang's eyes were red and his hair on his forehead was a little messy, making him look like a wronged puppy.
This look made him feel inexplicably awkward.
He looked away, pulled his hand back, and handed him a piece of paper from the side: "Blow your nose."
Xiao Mingyang took the toilet paper, greedily rubbed the other person's fingers, looked up at the other person's reaction and said, "Thank you."
"Um."
Xiao Mingyang noticed that his wife's ears were red.
