Chapter 17: Almost Died There is a red heart birthmark on his waist...
Gu Shiying's illness consumed a lot of his energy.
After returning to the dormitory, Gu Shiying slept for the whole afternoon.
When I woke up again, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon and time for lunch at school.
Zhang Zhi's message arrived at the same time as the get out of class was over.
Zhang Zhi: Are you feeling better? Can I bring you some food?
Gu Shiying was just about to tell him that he could go to the cafeteria to eat when he saw Fu Huan coming in with a lunch box.
Fu Huan: "Gu Shiying, I brought you dinner. It's quite light, so you don't have to go to the cafeteria to eat."
Gu Shiying changed the message he was about to send to Zhang Zhi: "Thank you, how much is it? I'll transfer it to you."
"Give me twenty." Fu Huan had already figured out Gu Shiying and even set his desired price.
"..." Gu Shiying glanced at the exquisite lunch box. It must be more than twenty. "Are you sure?"
Fu Huan remained calm: "Yeah, it's just porridge and snacks. The clear soup is just right for you. It's so cheap without meat."
Gu Shiying was no fool: "Tell me which store it is and I'll go buy it tomorrow."
Fu Huan didn't expect him to do this: "I just went out for something, and bought it on the way back. I forgot where it was."
Gu Shiying didn't expect that he could lie with his eyes open. He really had no other choice. Fu Huan insisted on taking care of him and made him owe him favors day by day. He didn't even dare to mention the matter of owing him meals. It would take him forever to pay back these meals.
But the porridge was really fragrant, with some minced meat, snacks and vegetables in it. It was the amount for an adult male, and Fu Huan knew his taste.
I have the illusion that Fu Huan is controlling me.
Everyone was concerned about Gu Shiying's acute gastroenteritis. Yang Shuheng bought him expensive imported fruits, Guan Yu boiled hot water for him, and Zhang Zhi took some time to come over and gave him his notes from today's class, and continued the topic they had not finished discussing in the morning.
Zhang Zhi: "Ying'er, let me tell you, I attended a gathering in the same city last time and there was a very beautiful schoolmate. She has the same hobbies as you. Do you two want to get to know each other?"
Gu Shiying: "Common hobbies?"
Zhang Zhi: "Yes, she also worked as a volunteer at the Ren Ai Welfare Home. Didn't you go there several times last year?"
Gu Shiying: "From our school?"
Zhang Zhi: "Of course, she's a classmate who's a year younger than us. She's a good singer and dancer, knows jazz, and plays the piano really well. She's about 1.7 meters tall, which is perfect for you. She's tall and thin, and very sweet. Among the alumni we visited that day, quite a few boys added her WeChat. Let's get to know her and make friends!"
Hearing his enthusiastic recommendation, Gu Shiying nodded and said, "Okay."
Zhang Zhi, like a pimp, happily sent messages to the girl and even sent her a photo of Gu Shiying. The other party agreed that Zhang Zhi would send his business card to Gu Shiying.
At this moment, a loud noise interrupted Zhang Zhi's action, and the sound of a flowerpot falling to the ground and breaking came from the balcony.
Fu Huan came in from the balcony to get the trash can.
Gu Shiying raised his head and asked him, "What's wrong?"
Fu Huan: "I accidentally knocked over the flowerpot."
There is a pot of green ivy in their dormitory left by the seniors from the previous class. Whoever has time usually waters it. The green ivy has strong vitality and has been living strong all the time.
Gu Shiying walked to the balcony and found that the ceramic basin was indeed broken: "Buy another one?"
"Well, I'll buy one later." Fu Huan squatted down to pick up the broken ceramic pieces. His eyes wandered over the ceramic pieces. Each piece was broken very smoothly.
With Fu Huan taking care of things, Gu Shiying didn't care anymore.
However, Zhang Zhi's roommate asked him to play badminton, and he was about to leave before Gu Shiying came out from the balcony, and he even shouted something outside.
"Ying'er, I've forwarded you my junior's WeChat business card. Add her when you have time! The third brother called me, so I'll be leaving now!"
Gu Shiying replied from the balcony: "Okay!"
He is indeed his good brother!
He observed Fu Huan quietly and found that he just lowered his head to pick up the debris on the ground, without showing much expression. Has he changed?
Although Fu Huan had helped him a lot recently, he still had to keep his distance and let him know what he should know. Now he knew that he liked girls and not men.
However, he was thinking that he would use Zhang Zhi's words to let Fu Huan know that he liked girls. When he picked up the phone again, he forgot to add girls and instead searched for flower pots on the shopping website.
Fu Huan came out from behind carrying a garbage bag.
Gu Shiying thought he would say something, but Fu Huan took the garbage and walked out of the dormitory directly. However, he didn't see that Fu Huan took a box of cigarettes and a lighter when he passed by his desk.
"You want this tree to die from secondhand smoke." Liang Qi went downstairs after receiving Fu Huan's message.
There is a forest and a small lake behind the boys' dormitory. The school is well-maintained and has a great atmosphere. There are May Day flags hanging on the lampposts on both sides of the road.
Fu Huan was sitting on a bench where young couples often sat, puffing away at the cigarette. There were already a few cigarette butts in the trash can next to him, and one of them was still emitting an unburned spark.
Liang Qi sat next to Fu Huan and saw that he was staring at the calm lake in front of him. His eyes were out of focus and his face no longer had the same cold and indifferent expression that had remained unchanged for thousands of years. Instead, he had a desperate look as if he was about to jump into the center of the lake at any time.
"Fu Huan." Liang Qi patted his shoulder vigorously, "What are you daydreaming about?"
This expression is scary.
Fu Huan came back to his senses and asked him, "Do you want to smoke?"
Liang Qi had no choice but to smoke with him. After finishing one cigarette, Liang Qi said, "Are you not going to stare at your roommate anymore?"
Fu Huan snorted coldly, his eyes losing all life: "He's going to get to know a new girl."
Liang Qi put his hand on the back of the chair: "To be honest, I think you are really tolerant. You have liked him for a while."
Fu Huan had no intention of hiding anything: "Yeah."
Liang Qi: "Have you ever thought about pursuing him?"
Fu Huan: "He is straight."
Liang Qi: "So straight people can't be pursued?"
Fu Huan glanced at him and said, "You'll be scared."
"What era is it now? People nowadays aren't as homophobic as some traditional people." Liang Qi said with a hint of meaning, "Fu Huan, you have to fight for happiness on your own. What if you succeed? Boiling a frog in warm water is unrealistic. You have to take the initiative."
Fu Huan: "How to pursue?"
Gu Shiying's life was quite simple. Besides studying, he would do part-time jobs or volunteer work. He had never been seen in a relationship. Fu Huan thought there was a possibility, and even felt a little relieved. But now Gu Shiying had a girl he liked, and Zhang Zhi was frequently introducing girls to him. He even wanted to meet other girls. Fu Huan began to feel uncomfortable, especially after the two of them had been in frequent contact recently. He could no longer ignore it.
Liang Qi: "You ask me? My style is not suitable for you."
Fu Huan: "Indeed."
Liang Qi: "However, the most important thing when pursuing someone is sincerity. Chasing a girl is different from chasing a boy. Otherwise, you can do this first... and then do this..."
The more Fu Huan listened, the more outrageous it became: "Can it work?"
Liang Qi: "How will you know if you don't try? It's better than wasting your time being emo here."
Fu Huan lit another cigarette and disagreed with Liang Qi's suggestion: "What a stupid idea."
Liang Qi: "What a bad idea! Then you can only watch Gu Shiying being sweet and affectionate with girls, and then give him a big red envelope when they get married and have children."
Fu Huan: “…”
Gu Shiying saw that Fu Huan had been out for a long time and had not returned, so the pot of flowers was left scattered and pitiful on the balcony.
He remembered that he had left two pieces of colorful cardboard when he was a volunteer last year, which could be used to make a temporary flower pot.
He was good at doing things, and quickly found some cardboard, which he folded into a colorful paper flowerpot and placed the green radish in. As long as the bottom wasn't wet, it should last until Fu Huan bought the flowerpot.
After Gu Shiying recovered from enteritis, he ate bland food for a few days. His life suddenly became less interesting and he even lost interest in attending classes.
The last two periods on Thursday afternoon were physical education classes. At the beginning of the school year, Gu Shiying believed Zhang Zhi's nonsense and chose swimming lessons with him. However, he had no talent for swimming at all. Half of the semester had passed, and he had only barely learned it.
The two changed into swimming trunks and came out of the boys' locker room.
Zhang Zhi raised his right arm as he walked to show his biceps to Gu Shiying.
He said proudly, "I've been playing badminton every day lately. Look at how I've been practicing lately. Can you smell my excellent male hormones?"
Gu Shiying pushed him away with a look of disgust: "Get out, get away from me."
The physical education teacher led them in doing warm-up exercises, and then those who had learned could practice freely, while those who were not so good yet received further guidance from the teacher.
The teacher reminded them that the final exam would test how many meters they had to swim.
Gu Shiying looked miserable. Why couldn't he learn it?
Is it true that he has uncoordinated limbs?
The physical education teacher reminded them: "Students who are not very good at it should not go into the deep water area. Pay attention to safety."
Next is their free practice time.
Zhang Zhi has already started competing with other classmates, while Gu Shiying is holding a board and practicing kicking. Should he be able to do it if he practices more?
In fact, Gu Shiying was not the only one who hadn't learned it. There was another girl who was splashing in the water like him.
The girl fluttered over to his side and they almost bumped into each other.
Gu Shiying quickly distanced himself from the other person: "Sorry."
Girl: “You haven’t learned it either?”
Gu Shiying: "Yes, I'm quite stupid."
The girl sighed, "I can't find the trick either. I feel like the teacher is about to give up on me."
Gu Shiying smiled and said, "Maybe you'll give up on me first. You swim better than me, and your movements are much more standard than mine."
After the two rookies exchanged some techniques for a while, they became bolder.
The girl suggested: "How about we try to swim together? Let's swim to the center line."
Gu Shiying: "That's fine."
The physical education teacher said that he felt that he was actually fine, as he had learned how to breathe, and his kicking and paddling movements were all standard. He was just afraid of water and didn't dare to swim boldly.
Gu Shiying and the girl encouraged each other, and he let go of the floating board in his hand and tried to swim.
At the beginning, he swam for a while and then stopped. Later, he got braver and this time he did not choke on water and had no problem breathing. His efforts were really effective. He gradually found the trick and his limbs swam much more smoothly.
However, while Gu Shiying was immersed in the joy of being able to swim, he unknowingly crossed the predetermined midline and swam towards the deep end. When he stopped to stand at the bottom of the pool as usual when he couldn't swim well, he found that his body kept sinking, his feet unable to touch the ground, and his head gradually submerged in the water.
Oops! It's deep water!
Under the psychological effect of fear of water, Gu Shiying forgot what his teacher taught him. He drank a few mouthfuls of water and also inhaled water into his nose. He suddenly became confused and his hands were flailing around in the water!
How can he float up?!
Gurgle~
When his whole body sank into the water, a hand held him and pulled him up, and a voice full of security drilled into his mind.
[Gu Shiying, you idiot, could you please stop scaring me?]
You're the idiot, you almost died.
A few seconds after Gu Shiying was pulled out of the water...
[He has a red heart-shaped birthmark on his waist. It's terrible.]
"puff."
Gu Shiying couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of water on Fu Huan's face.
Fu Huan: “…”
