Chapter 49: This guy is so close to me, but he still has the mood to joke! ...
Jiang Ci said nothing and continued to chase without hesitation, while Yu Xiang continued to use the big bed to jump back and forth on both sides to keep his position. The two of them remained in a stalemate for several minutes.
The bad thing was that Yu Xiang wasn't as strong as Jiang Ci, so he couldn't hold on for long. He was soon out of breath and could only try to negotiate with him: "Are you done yet? Stop chasing me. Are you going to do your homework or not?"
Jiang Ci stood at the end of the bed and looked at him leisurely: "Okay, then don't run away."
Anyone who doesn't run is a fool.
But Yu Xiang really couldn't jump anymore, so he planned to roll from the middle of the bed to the other end as handsomely and neatly as the protagonist in a movie.
However, he underestimated his own strength and was caught off guard by his long legs - he had only rolled halfway when Jiang Ci grabbed his calf.
He immediately tried to break free, but Jiang Ci was very strong and quick to react, and he had already taken action before him. He pressed down on him, holding down his wrists with one hand while pressing down on his knees with his legs, forcing him to be unable to move.
Yu Xiang was already almost exhausted, and seeing that there was no hope of breaking free, he simply gave up struggling and turned his head to the side with other plans. He just happened to see Jiang Ci's hand supporting his head.
Because Jiang Ci had to hold him down with his other hand, the hand that was supporting the bed became the main fulcrum for him to maintain this posture. If this hand lost its strength, the consequence would be that this thing was so big that it would crush him.
But this was also a good opportunity to break free from the shackles - as long as he reacted quickly enough, he could roll to a safe area before Jiang Ci's body fell on him.
He simulated the feasibility of doing so in his mind. Out of an inexplicable confidence, he felt that it was feasible. However, both of his hands were controlled by Jiang Ci and he could not use any strength, so it was a bit difficult to implement.
But this did not pose a problem for him. After thinking for a while, he suddenly had an idea. He raised his head and opened his mouth in front of Jiang Ci, pretending to bite him.
In this state, if he really wanted to bite, he could only bite Jiang Ci's chin or mouth, but he could still bite it, which should scare him.
Jiang Ci was indeed stunned when he saw this, but he didn't avoid it. He just frowned slightly and asked: "Are you born in the year of the dog?"
Yu Xiang took advantage of the few seconds when Jiang Ci was stunned and hit Jiang Ci's hand hard with his forehead.
The latter didn't expect that this was Yu Xiang's true purpose, but he reacted quickly and stabilized his body in time, barely avoiding falling. Unfortunately, Yu Xiang, who thought his plan was going smoothly, closed his eyes and rolled over -
He used his actions to explain what it means to dig your own grave.
Yu Xiang was completely stunned until the distance between them became zero. What was even more embarrassing was that his hands had circled Jiang Ci's waist during the chaos of rolling around, and Jiang Ci's hands were around his own waist, holding it quite tightly: "..." How come this is completely different from what I expected?
Now they were lying on the bed facing each other and hugging each other. It was as weird as it could be.
Yu Xiang's arm was still being held down by Jiang Ci. He struggled to pull his arm free while trying to explain, "Listen to me, this is definitely a misunderstanding..."
Jiang Ci stared at him, and suddenly loosened his arms around his waist. When Yu Xiang was caught off guard, he reached out to his face, rubbed it first, and then pinched it.
Yu Xiang stared at him in shock: "!" Even in this situation, he still hasn't forgotten his original intention!
At this point, Yu Xiang simply let himself go. After thinking for only a second, he jumped up, waving his arms and wrestling with Jiang Ci. Inevitably, another melee began.
The battle was very fierce. The two men used all means in a hurry. In the end, Yu Xiang fell exhausted on Jiang Ci, using him as a human cushion, and then raised his hand and made a "Yeah" gesture to symbolize victory.
Although he won, he was in a more miserable state than Jiang Ci - the collar of his loose T-shirt was crooked, revealing his smooth shoulders, and his hair was frizzy and sticky everywhere.
"Come down." Jiang Ci's chest was heaving, his breathing had become heavy, and his voice was a little hoarse.
"I don't." Yu Xiang raised his head and looked at Jiang Ci under him.
"You..." Jiang Ci wanted to say something, but Yu Xiang covered his mouth.
"Shut up." Jiang Ci had said these two words to him countless times, and now Yu Xiang had learned them well.
Jiang Ci fell silent.
The two people's rapid heartbeats intertwined together, appearing particularly clear in the quiet air.
The face in the dream was now right in front of him. Yu Xiang's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and some evil thoughts in his heart were infinitely magnified, which eventually drove him to slowly lower his head and put his lips on the back of his hand that was covering Jiang Ci's mouth.
He couldn't see Jiang Ci's current expression, nor did he dare to look.
After a moment, he felt Jiang Ci's lips move through the palm of his hand.
The movements were so small and cautious that Yu Xiang couldn't help but wonder if it was just an illusion.
Some words that cannot be expressed are hidden in the ridiculous actions of the two people.
In the end, it was Yu Xiang who took the lead, blushing and saying "I'm going to the bathroom", and ran away.
Jiang Ci sat up from the bed and looked at Yu Xiang rushing towards the bathroom without looking back. He subconsciously raised his hand and touched his lips, his face and ears turning red.
When Yu Xiang came out of the bathroom again, Jiang Ci had already sat back in his chair, holding a black pen in his hand, writing on a math test paper as if nothing had happened just now.
However, Yu Xiang saw the clue immediately and pointed it out: "Why did you write -1 on the multiple-choice question?"
Jiang Ci paused for a moment, then silently crossed out the "-1" and changed it to "B".
It was the first time that Yu Xiang saw Jiang Ci so absent-minded while doing the test that he made such a low-level mistake. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but since he knew the reason very well, he said nothing in the end.
For the rest of the time, Yu Xiang kept numb- ing himself by doing exercises so that he could calm down.
He knew that he had just acted rashly and done something inappropriate to his childhood friend, but the thing had already happened and there was no way to undo it.
But his intuition told him that things might not be as bad as he thought.
Hiding in the bathroom not only gave him a chance to catch his breath, but also gave Jiang Ci a chance to choose.
He didn't know whether Jiang Ci had noticed the secret kiss. If he had, he could take this opportunity to leave secretly. He would not bring up the matter in the future. Perhaps they could continue to act as if nothing had happened and continue to be friends while maintaining the necessary social distance.
But Jiang Ci chose to stay.
That means he may not have noticed, or did not take it to heart, or maybe he has a good temper and forgave his momentary impulse.
"Do you have a red pen? I forgot to bring it."
Jiang Ci's words interrupted Yu Xiang's thoughts. He came back to his senses and replied, "Yes. What are you going to do?"
"Check the math answers." Jiang Ci's tone was indifferent, and it sounded no different from usual.
Yu Xiang asked curiously, "Did they give out answers for Math?"
"The teacher gave me a separate copy." Jiang Ci explained.
"Special treatment for the top student." Yu Xiang sighed and took out a red pen and handed it to him.
Jiang Ci took it and without saying anything else, he concentrated on answering the questions.
Yu Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief - it seemed that they could still get along with each other as before.
Just when he had finished writing a test paper and turned his head to look to the side out of habit, he caught a glimpse of several answers circled in red pen on Jiang Ci's test paper, and was surprised.
So many mistakes? Is this still Jiang Ci?
He began to worry about Jiang Ci's condition again, fearing that he was the culprit.
Then he would have committed a serious crime. If Fan Zhengqing knew about it, he would probably chase him with a knife.
So now he had to ask: "...How many questions did you get wrong?"
"Guess. There's a reward for guessing correctly."
Yu Xiang: “…” This guy is actually still in the mood to joke!
So he held his breath and counted the number of red circles on Jiang Ci's test paper. He still couldn't believe it: "You got 6 multiple-choice questions wrong?"
Although this number is normal for ordinary students, it is very wrong for Jiang Ci.
"Who told you that the circled ones are wrong?" Jiang Ci turned to look at him with a barely perceptible smile on his lips.
Yu Xiang was puzzled: "Then why did you circle it with a red pen for no reason?" Is this some new type of performance art?
"The circled ones are typical examples I think I can explain to you." Jiang Ci said calmly, "Do you want to listen now?"
"That's fine—but why don't you circle the question number instead of the answer?"
"To take care of your emotions."
"What the hell?" Yu Xiang was confused.
Jiang Ci: "Last time when I was explaining the test to you, you said that looking at the row of red ticks on my test paper made you jealous and it made you feel frustrated, so I changed my approach this time."
Yu Xiang: “…Really?”
Now that you mention it, I do have some impression of it, but that was actually just an excuse he made up because he was tired of listening and wanted to take a break.
However, after knowing that it was a false alarm, he felt much more relieved, and even became more energetic when listening to Jiang Ci's math problems.
——
The few days of vacation ended quickly, and the first and second year high school students returned to school one after another to make final preparations for the college entrance examination.
They had done sufficient review before this, so the exam went smoothly. Except for a few people who were not sure, the rest of them felt good about themselves after leaving the exam room.
The second-year high school students moved into the third-year building after the final examination, announcing that they would soon become the new third-year students and enter the countdown to the college entrance examination.
"Don't change seats without permission. Sit the same way you did in the original classroom!" On the first day of moving, Lei Wanquan arrived at the new classroom early and supervised the students to pack their school supplies.
Yu Xiang put a pile of books on the desk and was too tired to talk - their classroom was on the fifth floor.
He turned around and saw Lu Ziyang also holding a pile of books that was almost higher than his head. He kept talking as he walked forward: "Yes, yes, yes, that's it. Praise me more, and I'll be motivated to help you move the books."
"You have so many requests, Lu Ziyang. Jiang Ci has moved more people than you and he has no complaints." Ning Anyan's voice came over.
"That's different."
"Why is it different? They are all boys. You should reflect on yourself."
"Of course it's different. Those who are capable will do more work."
"Oh, then you are admitting that he is physically stronger than you."
"Hey, hey, hey, I didn't say that, don't talk nonsense."
Yu Xiang: “…” There is no one else like him.
"Your books." He took out some of the books he had just put down and walked over to put them on Wang Sitian's desk.
"Thank you, Yu Xiang." Wang Sitian looked at him gratefully. Then she thought of something and took out a mint candy from her coat pocket and handed it to him. "By the way, this is for you."
Yu Xiang was stunned for a moment, but still gave her face and took the candy: "Thank you."
He casually stuffed the candy into his pocket and walked out of the classroom again.
There were a lot of books to move, and he was also helping some girls in the class get some things, so he couldn't finish them in one trip.
As soon as Yu Xiang walked out of the classroom, he met Jiang Ci who had just come up the stairs with a book in his arms.
He knew that the books Jiang Ci was holding now were basically Ning Anyan's, because before he left, he heard Ning Anyan asking Jiang Ci for help, and Jiang Ci didn't seem to refuse.
