Many of the guys Lu Huangzhi played with were from his major. Anyone who knew both Lu Huangzhi and Zhao Yexi knew they had a casual relationship. Seeing them leave together was a bit of a puzzlement.
"When did Brother Lu and Senior Zhao become so close?"
"It seems they went to the ABO Institute for internship together, and perhaps developed a revolutionary friendship there."
"Looking at it this way, Lu Huangzhi is indeed much taller than Zhao Yesi."
"Senior Zhao used to play against Brother Lu. How dare he do that?"
"Hey, you know what, every time they fight, they're evenly matched. Senior Zhao can really jump high."
To most people, Lu Huangzhi's actions weren't ambiguous; they were just the way friends put their arms around each other's shoulders. But Zhao Yesi had a guilty conscience. Every time Lu Huangzhi touched him, he froze, feeling as if a dialog box had popped up above his and Lu Huangzhi's heads, with the words "Look, we're having an affair" written inside.
Lu Huangzhi is really something, doesn’t he know how to avoid suspicion?
Zhao Yesi nodded reservedly: "Okay."
How could there be an empty space in the school? There must be people everywhere. Could it be that Lu Huangzhi was talking about the men's restroom?
Lu Huangzhi put his hand on Zhao Yesi's back and pushed him forward.
"Won't it be out tomorrow?"
Zhao Yesi was still thinking about a place in the school where no one was around. He said absentmindedly, "I dug a tunnel with nails and got out in advance."
Lu Huangzhi smiled: "You came to me the first time after you got out?"
"That's not the case. I'm going home to put my things down first." Zhao Yesi said, "Are we going to the library?"
"What are you going to the library for?"
Zhao Yesi said: "Kiss me. Didn't you want to kiss me?"
Lu Huangzhi was slightly startled. He hadn't felt much when the primary school leader said "kiss," but when he said that, his body, which hadn't warmed up after playing basketball for a few minutes, suddenly became agitated.
Lu Huangzhi suppressed his laughter and asked knowingly, "Why go to the library?"
Zhao Yesi frowned: "You kissed me at the back door of the library last time."
A plant, Lu Huangzhi wouldn't forget it, would he? While it wasn't their first kiss, it was at least their first kiss together while awake. If Lu Huangzhi could forget such an important moment after just a few days of dating, he'd be so angry he'd go to the ICU and get a pacemaker.
Lu Huangzhi said "Oh" and said, "But the back door of the library is a bit far, and I don't want to wait that long."
Zhao Yesi didn't understand what Lu Huangzhi meant. Just as he was about to speak, the hood of his sweatshirt was lifted up by the boy next to him.
As he put on his hat, Lu Huangzhi lowered his head toward him and gently bit his slightly open lips. Then he quickly looked up and continued walking with him as if nothing had happened. The whole process took only two seconds. Zhao Yesi didn't even have time to close his eyes, but he still made a sound.
Well, don't turn off the pacemaker yet, his heart is about to stop.
"What do you want to eat tonight?" Lu Huangzhi asked.
Zhao Yesi heard himself say, "I want to eat meat."
"Then let's go to the mall," Lu Huangzhi said, "and take Zhao Zhitao to eat meat."
Zhao Yesi said in a daze: "Okay."
They walked along the small path in the school. It wasn't completely deserted; there were still a few people around. If those few passersby looked at them for even a second longer, they would definitely be exposed.
However, due to the height difference, his entire body was blocked by Lu Huangzhi, and he was wearing a hat on his face. Unless passers-by put their eyes close to his face, they could only see Lu Huangzhi's profile at most.
Is this the deserted place that Lu Huangzhi mentioned?
It’s all about the heartbeat.
Zhao Yesi looked around and didn't catch any strange looks. Then his little heart started beating again.
The two of them went to a restaurant for cheese ribs and vegetable-wrapped meat. The deep-fried ribs, coated in a thick layer of cheese, were sweet and crispy. The meat was sizzling beef, rich in scallion sauce, and wrapped in lettuce, each bite was delicious. When they got tired of it, they had some sour and spicy kimchi and lime sparkling water to help with the greasiness.
Zhao Yesi told Lu Huangzhi the real reason why he ended the observation early: "The research on the inhibitor seems to be going smoothly. I hope to launch it on the market as soon as possible, and strive to get it on the market before the college entrance examination."
Lu Huangzhi said: "During special times, the process should be accelerated."
"Then we should research inhibitors for alpha." Zhao Yexi thought of Tao Qiaosheng. "Alphas in the susceptible period are also feeling quite uncomfortable. I'm a little worried about Xiao Qiao."
Lu Huangzhi raised his eyebrows: "If you are worried about other alphas, you might as well worry about your boyfriend."
"Why should I worry about you? You already have an omega—yes, that's me."
Lu Huangzhi looked at Zhao Yesi for a while and sighed, "How did you do it?" With just a casual word, he turned his sour mood into sweetness.
Zhao Yesi:?
"You are so capable, Zhao Zhitao."
After dinner, the question arises: what do couples usually do on a date?
Zhao Yesi thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to watch a movie?"
"Emm..."
To be honest, I don't really want to. Ever since seeing the junior high school student on the court, Lu Huangzhi has only had one thing on his mind.
In the past, he thought it was vulgar for boys to have minds full of dirty stuff, but when he really fell in love with someone, who wouldn't be vulgar?
Zhao Yesi is his only vileness.
No matter how much he thought about it, he still had to meet the senior's request. He had endured it in bed a few days ago, so what else could he not endure?
"Whatever you want to see, I'll buy the ticket."
On a whim, Zhao Yesi decided to go to the movies. He picked a recent brain-burning film. "I'll go get some popcorn and Coke."
"Forget the popcorn, let's buy some potato chips."
Zhao Yexi disagrees: "A movie without popcorn is soulless."
"You don't like this popcorn."
Zhao Yesi said bewilderedly: "I don't like it? How come I don't know?"
Lu Huangzhi said, "The last time we came here to watch a movie, you said that was the worst popcorn you had ever eaten in your life."
The last time the two of them went to the cinema to watch a movie together was a long time ago. He didn't expect Lu Huangzhi to remember such details. He didn't remember anything at all. Recalling the scene at that time, he only remembered that Lu Huangzhi's profile was very handsome.
Zhao Yexi said: "You have a really good memory."
"That's good," Lu Huangzhi said, "at least I don't need to use the grudge book."
The two of them entered the theater ten minutes early. Zhao Yexi found a seat and pulled out his phone to check film reviews. This was his pre-movie habit. He didn't mind spoilers, but he did mind plot details. He also wanted to know which plot foreshadowings to focus on during the viewing. The director of this film was often criticized for his work being difficult to understand, and he didn't want to feel like he'd just watched it for nothing.
Lu Huangzhi sat beside him and looked at the junior high school student, smiling silently.
The principal probably thought their first movie together was a coincidence. In reality, he had a full class schedule that day. He had skipped class long before for Zhao Yexi.
He didn't believe in love at first sight. Even though he had the thought "this senior is kind of cute" when he first saw Zhao Yesi, he didn't take it too seriously.
But when he saw Zhao Yesi for the second time, he couldn't help but ask for his WeChat.
Unfortunately, just when he was about to throw himself into it, Zhao Yesi inexplicably changed his attitude. He wasn't someone without a temper. After failing to find out the reason, he thought it didn't matter. He could let Zhao Yesi do whatever he wanted.
However, no matter how casual he was, as long as Zhao Yesi was there, his attention would be uncontrollably focused on Zhao Yesi. At the same time, he also hoped that Zhao Yesi's attention would be focused on him and not look at others.
In fact, it was love at first sight, but he just didn't want to admit it.
"Zhao Zhitao." Lu Huangzhi said, "I want to tell you something."
Zhao Yexi was immersed in the spoiler: "Speak."
The movie was about to start. The lights in the theater had already gone out, and the familiar background music sounded along with a golden dragon on the screen. Lu Huangzhi said, "I'm not going home tonight."
Zhao Yesi's fingertips paused.
"I'm going to spend the night at your house."
These two sentences wiped out all the spoilers of the film review in Zhao Yesi's mind.
After watching the movie, Zhao Yesi felt lonely.
When he walked out of the cinema, Zhao Yexi was still wondering why it was his house. He didn't have anything at home, so he had to buy it now.
"Let's go to the supermarket," Zhao Yexi said, "I want to buy some food."
Zhao Yesi knew that kind of stuff was usually placed at the cashier, but he certainly couldn't just go to the cashier and buy it; that would be too deliberate. He had to pretend.
Zhao Yesi pushed the cart and first went to the fruit area to pick up a grapefruit, and then came to the snack area to do some shopping.
He hesitated for a moment between the original and tomato-flavored potato chips and asked his boyfriend, "Which one do you want?"
Lu Huangzhi took a bag of each flavor of potato chips and threw them into the car: "You want them all."
Zhao Yexi said, "Eating so much puffed food will give you mouth ulcers."
Lu Huangzhi paused and said, "One pack a day, no more."
"Then buy something to drink."
A strange voice sounded: "Brother Xi?"
Zhao Yesi retracted his hand reaching for Wangzai Milk. He looked at the man in front of him and asked, "Who are you...?"
"My little pinkie, the one who sat in the back seat with you during our senior year of high school," the man said excitedly. "Have you forgotten?"
Zhao Yesi remembered. In his senior year of high school, the boy sitting behind him had a pink shirt. After wearing it a few times, he earned the nickname "Little Pink."
He and Xiaofen used to be close friends. Unfortunately, Xiaofen was a poor student who didn't go to college and went to work after graduating from high school. The two gradually lost touch.
Zhao Yesi was also very happy to meet an old classmate: "Oh oh oh oh oh, it's Xiaofen! We haven't seen each other for six or seven years."
"That's right. I haven't seen him since I graduated from high school." Xiaofen said, "I didn't expect your child to be this big already."
"Ah?" Zhao Yesi glanced at Lu Huangzhi, "What child?"
Lu Huangzhi said: "He bought the snacks for himself."
Zhao Yesi then noticed that Xiaofen's stroller was full of milk powder and diapers, while his stroller was full of snacks.
He is a few months older than Xiaofen, which is awkward.
There's nothing you can do about it; that's just the way it is for people his age. Some of his peers are already fathers, while others are still being scolded by their teachers at school and have no mothers to show for them.
Xiaofen was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted: "That's what I said, you're going to graduate school, aren't you? How could you be faster than me? Hahaha."
Zhao Yesi gave an awkward yet polite smile: "How old is the child?"
Xiaofen said happily, "Xiaobao just turned 100 days old. Dabao is already three years old and her favorite drink is Wangzai Cowboy. I'll bring her a few boxes back."
Zhao Yesi: "...Father's love is like a mountain."
Xiaofen chatted enthusiastically with Zhao Yesi all the way and even stood with them when they paid the bill. Zhao Yesi saw something he wanted to take out of the corner of his eye, but his old classmate was right next to him, and he couldn't stretch out his hand no matter how hard he tried.
I'm so angry. What bad intentions could he have? He just wanted to buy a condom.
