Zhang Yang discovered that Qi Yu no longer called him Yangyang, but only called him Zhang Yang, and occasionally called him Curly Hair like everyone else.
Only his parents called him by his nickname Yangyang, and few other people knew it. Zhang Yang did not ask Qi Yu why he didn't call him Yangyang anymore. For an adolescent boy, it was still embarrassing to have his good brother call him by a nickname, so the matter was left unresolved.
But every time Qi Yu coldly asked him to be more prominent, he would inevitably feel lost for a while.
On the day when the high school entrance examination results were announced, Zhang Yang was particularly happy. He performed exceptionally well and was admitted to Class B of No. 1 Middle School. His mother wanted to announce to the world with great fanfare that her son had been admitted to the key class. Zhang Yang felt embarrassed facing some relatives in the living room, so he found an excuse to hide in his room and called Qi Yu.
"Hello? Xiaoyu, have you checked your grades?"
Qi Yu on the opposite side paused and said, "I've finished checking."
"Oh~ You're in Class A, right?"
"No," Qi Yu's voice was a little distorted, "I went to Class B."
Zhang Yang didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only comfort him dryly, "Everyone has their bad days, don't be sad, Xiaoyu, we can play together again."
Qi Yu took a long time to say "hmm". Zhang Yang knew that he didn't want to talk, so he said goodbye in a hurry.
Unlike the joyous atmosphere in Zhang Yang's house, the atmosphere in Qi Yu's house seemed to be frozen below zero.
Qi Yu didn't want to listen to their quarrel anymore and went back to his room alone. Outside, his mother was blaming his father for not spending more time with him and teaching him. His father retorted that his mother's parenting style was even more of a failure.
They didn't know that Qi Yu had intentionally left a big question blank on the math test, earning her exactly 12 points. Qi Yu couldn't explain why she did this. Was it because she wanted to be with Zhang Yang? Or was it because she wanted to be rebellious and disappoint her parents?
It is undeniable that when he thought about losing these twelve points and probably falling into Class B, which meant a greater chance of being with Zhang Yang, he felt an indescribable impulse and expectation in his heart.
Qi Yu clicked on the score line of Class A, and found that it was fourteen points lower than his score. Even with those twelve points, he still couldn't get in. Qi Yu raised the corners of his mouth with a sense of relief, and his pale face made him look a little sick.
Zhang Yang bombarded him with calls time and again, probably because he simply thought he was sad. He was always like this, like a savior, showing kindness to everyone indiscriminately, and Qi Yu didn't want this.
"Xiaoyu! Come out and play. Let's go skiing. It's fun."
Qi Yu finally wavered, "Okay."
When they arrived at the place, Qi Yu discovered that they were not the only ones there with Zhang Yang. There was a tall boy with a tough-looking face next to Zhang Yang. He happened to know him, Luo Jiming, the only son of the Luo family.
"Xiaoyu! I'm here!"
"I'm not blind," Qi Yu walked over and nodded to Luo Jiming, "You know him too?"
Zhang Yang nodded. "Luo Jiming and I met at the arcade. He's a really good shooter. I want him to be my boss."
Luo Jiming sneered, "Are you an elementary school student?"
Qi Yu nodded calmly. There was really never a shortage of new people around Zhang Yang.
…
When they entered high school, Qi Yu and Luo Jiming were already acquaintances due to family ties, and now they became even more familiar with each other because of Zhang Yang.
Luo Jiming had a cold and simply didn't want to take the exam, so he reunited with them in Class B. Zhang Yang was very happy that day, saying that the three of them could play together again. Qi Yu curled his lips, mocking his own lack of ambition. After all this time, he was still a secret admirer.
A poor little girl in the class attracted Luo Jiming, and the arrogant Luo Jiming soon circled around her like a tamed dog, saving her and feeding her snacks. Qi Yu watched all this, occasionally helping Luo Jiming cover Zhang Yang's mouth when he was talking nonsense.
Zhang Yang watched Luo Jiming and Xu Nuo getting closer day by day, and the restless young heart in his heart gradually became agitated. He woke up from his dream and realized that boys could also have such a sweet love.
From that day on, Zhang Yang's eyes when looking at Qi Yu were no longer as frank as before. Later, the protagonist's unspeakable dream for him and Qi Yu broke his last fig leaf.
It turns out that he has always liked Qi Yu!
Liking someone is liking them, there's nothing shameful about it, especially since he and Qi Yu already had a good relationship. Even Heaven was helping him. Zhang Yang clumsily confirmed his feelings, secretly trying to get closer to Qi Yu. Specifically, he leaned in and imitated Luo Jiming's Xu Nuo-like approach to Qi Yu...
"Zhang Yang... do you like Qi Yu?" Once, Xu Nuo looked around quietly and finally whispered to him.
Zhang Yang's face flushed as if he'd drunk too much. "Is it obvious?"
Xu Nuo nodded.
"Tsk, how come Qi Yu can't see it himself?" Zhang Yang gave up on himself.
Xu Nuo was also puzzled. After all, Qi Yu looked very smart, but he wisely chose not to say anything.
On the day off from their freshman year in high school, the four of them went to climb Daqing Mountain to celebrate Xu Nuo's birthday. In the tent, Zhang Yang saw the two of them hugging and kissing each other.
With a "swish", Zhang Yang zipped up the tent and retracted.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Yang shook his head and after a while asked Qi Yu, "Um...Xiaoyu, do you want to date a boy?"
He thought he was being subtle enough, but he didn't realize that his wandering eyes had already revealed his true intentions.
For the first time, Qi Yu realized that Zhang Yang might also have a little crush on her, but how much was this fondness? Was it just a spur-of-the-moment impulse after seeing Luo Jiming's promise, or was it simply a confusion between friendship and love? Qi Yu didn't dare to gamble, and was even more afraid of hearing the word "tired of you" and becoming a coward and a deserter.
