Chapter 16
After returning with the lemonade, Gu Fang pretended to be casual and mentioned, "I just met Lu Si. He works part-time at the milk tea shop."
"You'd even run into this?" Le Jiayu raised an eyebrow as she poked at the straw. "Well, it's true. He works so many jobs, it's normal to run into this near the school."
Gu Fang took a sip of lemonade and frowned.
……astringent.
Maybe it’s because I just ate candy.
He calmly touched the candy in his pocket, without any conscious thought of sharing it with Yue Jiayu. He covered his pocket with his hands, as if casually asking, "Does he work a lot?"
Le Jiayu hummed lightly, "I heard he's still tutoring on weekends. His parents are divorced. I haven't heard much about the details, but his family's financial situation probably isn't that good."
Gu Fang's gaze drifted away, and his heart suddenly felt a pang of pain.
He looked up at the milk tea shop diagonally opposite, and after a while, a few more customers came.
So, Lu Si's weekends consist of working part-time jobs everywhere during the day and performing in live houses at night.
The lemonade choked his throat. His heart was pinched, the force was light, yet it caused a lingering pain.
Maybe it's heartache.
He was only two months older than me, and only seventeen years old.
But Lu Si's youthfulness seemed to reside only in his still-not-so-broad shoulders, his still-immature figure, and his still-immature voice. Beyond that, his world seemed to be synonymous with that of an adult.
I got home in the afternoon, drew the curtains, and the sunlight filtered through a layer and poured in lazily.
Gu Fang nestled in the lazy sofa by the window, put on his headphones, listened to English listening, and wrote and drew casually with a pencil.
I glanced at the pot of mint on the windowsill, and while sketching, I fell asleep without knowing when.
When he woke up, the sun had already set and he didn't know where his headphones had fallen. He sat up in a daze with his hair disheveled, and he only remembered that he had to go to a performance in the evening.
Checked the time.
After washing his face and tidying up his hair, Gu Fang took out the barrier agent and sprayed it on his neck, then covered the glands tightly with a barrier patch.
The doorbell rang, Gu Fang opened the door, and greeted warmly: "Hello, Doctor Xie."
A team of people in white coats entered his home, put on overshoes, and without further ado, methodically set out their equipment. Only Doctor Xie smiled and replied, "Xiao Fang, are you going out later?"
There were two Dr. Xie doctors in charge of Fang's health. One was balding and experienced, while the other was still young. Dr. Xie usually performed the checkups every Saturday.
"Let's go to the performance tonight." Gu Fang smiled.
"Oh, it's that band again?" Doctor Xie knew about this. The child fell in love with a band when he was still in the hospital a year ago. Occasionally, when his body allowed, he would go to listen to it live - although the so-called live performance also required staying away from the crowd.
But Gu Fang had never expressed his desire to go anywhere before, and always stayed in the isolation ward according to the doctor's orders. The occasional accidents left a deep impression on Dr. Xie.
"Yeah." Gu Fang's eyes sparkled, "Now I can be very close to the stage."
Doctor Xie also smiled and said, "Congratulations, you've succeeded in chasing your idol."
After receiving the preliminary examination results, Dr. Xie frowned slightly: "Has the estrus period this month already arrived?"
Gu Fang blinked, his eyes wandering: "But I've tested it, and the pheromones are within the limit."
"Yes." Doctor Xie nodded and made a few strokes on the list. "Wait a few days, wait for the specific test results to come out and see. There should be no problem. The third operation was a success."
Before the evening performance began, Gu Fang asked Lu Qi to leave a bouquet of flowers for him.
The two met at the entrance of Wanliang. Song Ciqing couldn't come tonight because of her senior year internship, so she sent them a message asking them to take a photo of Xie Ziyao on stage - Sister Qing is a fan of both Yaoyaozi's sister and mother, and the relationship is very complicated.
Gu Fang didn't say what kind of flowers he wanted, so Lu Qi thought about the style of flowers he chose last time and kept a bunch of blue star flowers and tied them with a blue ribbon.
The petals of the blue star flower were simple, not as complex and overlapping as a rose. They had only a single layer of five petals. Although small, the color was a very pure blue, dotted among the green leaves. Gu Fang thought the color resembled watercolor, the petals a light blue soaked in water, while the center of the flower was a darker, darker blue.
Lu Qi shook the pen and card: "Do you want to write one?"
Gu Fang shook his head, carefully took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and put it in the bouquet. Lu Qi, with his sharp eyes, glanced at it and asked, "Isn't this the one from last time? It hasn't been given out yet?"
Gu Fang pursed his rosy lips and said after a while, "I will definitely send it out this time."
This time they arrived early and managed to snag a front-row seat. But once the show started and the fans got excited, it was like a riot of demons. Lu Qi scratched his bangs in annoyance, gave up holding up his phone, and reached out to pat Gu Fang on the shoulder.
Gu Fang hummed in confusion. The music and the crowd were too loud, so he had to bend down and tilt his head to hear clearly.
Lu Qi was shouting, "Please help Sister Qing take pictures. I'm too short!"
Perhaps because he loves painting, Gu Fang doesn't usually like taking photos. He prefers to memorize images with beautiful light and shadow, color, and structure, and then copy them on paper in his free time.
Lu Qi gave him the task of taking pictures. Gu Fang nodded seriously, took out his mobile phone, found a good angle and light, and let the monsters around him dance wildly, but he remained motionless and ready.
When the previous rapper left the stage and the lights dimmed, Gu Fang knew it was TS's turn. He pursed his lips, frowned solemnly, and raised his phone. When the light suddenly brightened, he aimed it at Xie Ziyao and took a picture.
I don’t use it often, and I don’t know where I pressed, but the phone actually flashed.
Gu Fang was so frightened that he quickly lowered his phone, and many of the audience around him cast their eyes over to him.
Xie Ziyao was tuning his drum set when he felt the sudden flash of light directed at him. Without even looking up, he chuckled into the microphone, "It seems my hair dye looks really handsome tonight. Are you charmed by me?"
The little Os covered their mouths and laughed, and the one who cheered them on was the big brother with tattoos: "So handsome! I'm completely fascinated by you! Yaoyaozi!"
Of course, there were also some brave Omegas, but they all shouted: "Brother Lu Si, you are so handsome too!"
They are just older than Lu Si.
Lu Si's seat was just slightly in front of Xie Ziyao. After the flash lights came on and everyone laughed and shouted, Lu Si narrowed the corners of his long and narrow eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly, and his gaze fell on the boy near the edge of the stage.
He wasn't wearing glasses, but Lu Si recognized him.
It was quite magical. The boy was standing in a corner that was obviously quite remote. When the stage lights came on, only half of his face was illuminated - the light slid down along his right ear, along the graceful contours of his face, and fell to his chin with his lips tightly pursed, forming a very beautiful arc.
Just by looking at the half of his face, Lu Si recognized him.
But what made Lu Si inexplicably unhappy was that the reason that attracted him to discover Gu Fang was the flash of light directed towards Xie Ziyao.
Performers on stage experience this feeling: except for where they stand, all around them is a sea of darkness. To Lu Si, without his glasses, even the lights from waving cell phones become blurry halos like shooting stars.
So Lu Si rarely paid attention to the audience.
Pay attention, even a blind person can't see the road clearly.
But Gu Fang's position was neither close nor far.
When Lu Si swept across the entire audience with his usual nonchalant eyes, no one noticed that his gaze paused slightly in the corner, and his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a light that only appeared when he was observing something carefully.
As the fluorescent lights waved around, Gu Fang's eyes glowed like stars.
He looked at the stage with shining eyes, perhaps towards himself, or perhaps towards Xie Ziyao who was diagonally behind him.
It was undeniable that at that moment, a strange feeling passed through Lu Si's heart. He had never seen Gu Fang like this before. Such a straightforward, clean, and pure passion in his eyes had a kind of magic that made Lu Si's heartbeat quicken, and he played the guitar more vigorously, as if he wanted to vent something.
But at the same time, something extremely soft tickled his heart.
I scratched and provoked it, but I didn't get the point.
So I itched in vain.
Then the harder I played the guitar, the more I vented my anger.
The other teammates didn't know the reason, they just felt that Lu Ge was in great shape in this game. In order to keep up with the rhythm, they also let their hormones surge and had a great time as if they were ruining the party.
Then the whole audience was excited.
Fortunately, TS's performance was at the end of the order. After listening to their performance, the audience was sweating profusely and had no energy to listen to the next show.
When the show was over, Lu Qi looked at the bouquet of blue star flowers in Gu Fang's hand, clicked his tongue, and said coldly, "Follow me."
Gu Fang didn't understand what was going on. He watched Lu Qi lead him through several paths and skillfully get behind the stage. He then greeted the security guard at the door and took him backstage smoothly.
Lu Qi pointed to the end of the corridor and said, "That's the one. Go and deliver it."
He had no choice but to send him off now, otherwise he would feel sorry for Lu Qi taking him around like this.
Gu Fang gritted his teeth and walked towards the last room. He stopped at the door, rearranged the bouquet, and made sure the card was inside. He hesitated for a few times and finally decided not to take the card. After all, what he wrote was the truth. As long as the person who wrote it was not embarrassed, why should he be afraid that the person who read it would be embarrassed?
After taking a deep breath, the conflicted expression on Gu Fang's face instantly disappeared. He straightened the corners of his lips, knocked on the door, and his expression was extremely calm.
It was Lu Si who opened the door.
"Lu Qi?"
He had changed out of his black team uniform with the TS logo and donned a simple white cotton T-shirt with a slightly darker collar. His side-parted hair hung loose, the ends of it damp for some reason, and he looked relaxed and relaxed.
“…Gu Fang?”
Seeing who it was, his tone was filled with surprise. Especially after seeing the bouquet of blue flowers in his hand, Lu Si raised his eyebrows with interest.
"Come to bring flowers?"
Gu Fang once again smelled the sweet mint scent on him.
Combining this with his previous experience, Gu Fang guessed that the satisfaction on Lu Si's face after the pheromones were released might be because the performance itself was a way to vent emotions.
During or at the end of a performance, pheromones are inevitably leaked.
Gu Fang's expression became increasingly calm. His facial features were delicate and soft, making him look approachable even when he wasn't smiling.
But those dark blue eyes when backlit added an incongruous sense of coldness for no reason, and the facial features were also burdened by the eyes, making the whole face look very cold.
"Yeah." He nodded stiffly, "I'll bring the flowers."
"You came at an inopportune time. Xie Ziyao and the other two went to the bathroom together. We'll be back later..."
Lu Si was about to say something, but Gu Fang didn't even hear what he said before. Without saying a word, he pulled Lu Si's hand away. Lu Si's hand froze and he stopped talking.
Gu Fang put on a pretty face, carefully pried open his hand with distinct knuckles, stuffed the flowers into Lu Si's palm, and then closed them one by one.
When doing this series of difficult things, every action was done with such seriousness that people could not even find any reason to blame him.
Lu Si didn't move, or perhaps he'd forgotten to move. He lowered his eyes, staring at Gu Fang's long, drooping lashes. A strange... sense of pleasure welled up in his heart. It was the soft, gentle feeling that sprouts in your heart when someone takes you seriously.
This unfamiliar contact brought him an extremely complex shock in a short period of time. His senses were not enough, and it was not until Gu Fang turned his head and walked away abruptly that he could recall his soft hands, the fingertips still cool and the palms warm.
Lu Si stood leaning against the door frame, lost in thought for a long time.
Xie Ziyao and his two brothers came back from the toilet, humming a song and holding hands.
Lu Si was lying on the sofa in the lounge, reviewing his English test paper. Suddenly, he raised his foot and hooked the chair next to Xie Ziyao, blocking him in his way.
"What's wrong, Dad?" Xie Ziyao was confused.
Lu Si handed over the bouquet of blue flowers without raising his eyelids: "Someone just gave it to me."
"Hey, Brother Xie," Mo Ji whistled, "Your romantic luck is even better than Father Lu's tonight."
"Yaoyaozi's spring has come." Xiao Yuanshan sighed while holding the phone.
"Of course not," Xie Ziyao stroked his newly dyed golden hair, "It seems my dyeing and bleaching skills have improved a lot... Tsk, it's a pity that I have to dye it back on Monday."
Xie Ziyao sighed and reached out to take the flowers.
"Dad?" Xie Ziyao said, "Let go."
Lu Si seemed to be immersed in reading English, then he came to his senses and let go.
Xie Ziyao looked at it and asked: "Does this flower have a name?"
"Yes." Lu Si said.
"What's the name?" Xie Ziyao asked.
"What you're asking is, does it have a name?" Lu Si said calmly.
"Damn it." Xie Ziyao took out his phone, "I'll search for pictures myself!"
Lu Si continued to read, but found that the arrangement and combination of the 26 letters gave him more and more headaches.
Feeling restless, he unconsciously twirled the pen. When he lowered his head, he suddenly caught sight of a card lying on the sofa.
A small light blue card.
Like... that bouquet of flowers?
Lu Si raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Xie Ziyao calmly.
The silly boy is still happily searching for pictures.
Lu Si thought to himself, just take a look.
After all, today's minors are too blind in their so-called likes.
So he used the test paper to cover his belongings and found the lost card.
In the familiar neat small characters, it was written carefully, "You are the unique and unbridled shining star (little star) in the universe."
Lu Si, whose Chinese score was still hovering at the passing line, couldn't help but complain inwardly, what a long and redundant thing.
He touched the familiar little star, sighed, and put the card into his pocket.
Today's minors are really too blind.
We can’t let Xie Ziyao and the immature children sing the same tune and develop a premature love story of you love me and I love you.
The author has something to say:
Oh, little road, little road (pointing and talking without saying anything)
