The next day, when the alarm rang, it was just dawn.
When Wei You woke up, he felt sweat on his neck and the wet collar was sticking to his skin, which was very uncomfortable.
He was just about to reach out to press the alarm, but when he raised his arm he found that his left arm was being hugged as a pillow by the boy next to him. The two of them were so close to each other, no wonder he was sweating so much.
At this time, Wei Xu also frowned and woke up.
He closed his eyes and skillfully turned off the alarm clock. Then he yawned, sat up, and said in a hoarse voice, "Brother, get up."
“Well, go wash your face first…” Wei You turned over, dragging out the last syllable, closing his eyes and feeling like he could fall asleep at any time.
Wei Xu groaned, got out of bed and went back to his room to get dressed.
Wei You remained in a half-asleep and half-awake state on the bed for quite a while, until he heard the sound of Wei Xu finishing washing and walking out of the bathroom, then he slowly got up.
In order to save time, the two of them decided to buy breakfast at the breakfast shop downstairs.
Going downstairs to the corner of the first floor, Wei Xu dragged out a bicycle from the small warehouse behind the stairs. It was the one Wei You bought for him three years ago.
In order to use it for a few more years, Wei You specially bought a lighter adult bicycle with a basket in the front and a seat in the back.
Maybe it was a little big for a fourth grader at the time, but it is just right for riding now.
Wei Xu put his schoolbag into the basket, and the two pushed their bicycles to the breakfast shop to buy breakfast. When they reached the alley, Wei You asked him whether he wanted to sit in the front or the back.
Wei Xu answered without hesitation: "Sit in the back."
"I think so. You can't carry me with your current body." Wei You said, and handed the breakfast to him to carry. Then he raised his legs and sat on the bicycle, one foot on the pedal and one foot on the ground. He raised his chin to Wei Xu and said, "Come on."
Wei Xu sat on the back of the bicycle, grabbed the hem of his shirt at the waist with his right hand and said, "Okay."
Wei You straightened the front of the car with both hands and was about to set off when he suddenly turned back and said, "You can have breakfast on the way, but don't forget to show me the way."
Wei Xu opened the plastic bag containing the steamed buns and responded obediently.
After a while, the bicycle carrying the two long-legged boys slid smoothly out of the alley and onto the road.
Although it was the end of summer, the morning wind was a little chilly. Wei Xu unconsciously shrank his body behind Wei You, chewing on a white steamed bun while looking at the street scenes passing by on the side of the road.
He didn't know if it was because the vision he experienced was different from usual, but he suddenly found that this small town where he had lived for more than ten years was somewhat unfamiliar. What flashed before his eyes were more like scenes from a movie, making him feel dazed.
"Which way should I turn at the intersection?"
Wei You's sudden question interrupted his train of thought. Wei Xu looked at the street corner and quickly answered, "To the right."
Wei You turned the car and drove towards the road to the right.
Ten minutes later, the two arrived at Wei Xu's school.
Parking his bicycle on the side of the road, Wei You looked up at the broad and flat road behind the school gate and several connected buildings, and exclaimed: "Not bad, this school looks pretty."
"Because it was only built last year." Wei Xu explained, "The conditions here are much better than those in No. 1 Middle School. Every classroom has air conditioning and computers. It's just that the location is a bit remote."
"It's OK, it's only fifteen minutes away."
Wei Xu picked up the schoolbag and put it on his back, saying, "Brother, you can ride this bike back later."
"What about you?"
"I take a classmate's car or take the bus."
Wei You recalled that he had never seen a bus stop along the way and asked in confusion: "Is there a bus here?"
"Yes, I have."
"Okay, then you study hard here, I'll go back first." Wei You patted him on the shoulder. Just as he turned around to hold the bicycle, he heard another voice of "Brother" from behind.
He turned his head and met Wei Xu's gaze, and looking at his expression, it seemed as if he wanted to say something.
"Anything else?" he asked, then he remembered the first time he sent Guazi to school, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you want me to pick you up from school now?"
Wei Xu shook his head and was about to open his mouth to speak, but hesitated and swallowed his words back.
He actually wanted to hug Wei You before they parted, just like they did when they were little.
But considering that I am so old now, I still don’t want to let the adults go back. It would be embarrassing if my classmates saw this scene.
So after hesitating for a while, he just grabbed the strap of his schoolbag and said nonchalantly: "I'm going to school. I'll buy groceries in the evening. You don't have to buy any."
Wei You thought he was going to say something, but he waved his hand and said, "Got it, go ahead."
·
"Wei Xu!"
As soon as he turned into the back door, Wei Xu saw Du Shao standing beside his seat, waving the homework paper in his hand excitedly.
"Hurry up, take my homework, the teacher is coming," he shouted at a rapid speed, "this crap English, such a long cloze test, my head hurts just reading it."
He quietly sat down at his seat, took out a piece of homework from his bag and gave it to him: "Go back to your seat and copy it."
"Thank you, monitor. You are my savior." Du Shao flattered him skillfully. He took the homework paper and was about to return to his seat when he suddenly remembered something and said, "You are in a good mood today. You didn't even call me stupid?"
Wei Xu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and did not deny it.
"What are you doing? You look so smiling, but not smiling. What's going on?"
"fine."
He responded perfunctorily, and slowly took out the homework and pencil case from his schoolbag and placed them on the table. Just as he was about to put the schoolbag into the drawer, his eyes suddenly swept to a bag of colorful chocolate beans beside the drawer, so he took it out and asked Du Shao: "Who put this here for me?"
When asked this, Du Shao couldn't help but curl his lips: "Who else could it be? Liu Weiwei!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the podium with resentment.
Wei Xu followed his gaze and saw the girl who always caused trouble for him in elementary school was standing on the podium sorting her homework books.
It seemed that he had been secretly paying attention to the corner of the classroom. As soon as Wei Xu's gaze went over, the other party looked up quickly and looked at him without any hesitation.
Wei Xu immediately turned his head and pretended not to see it.
"I never thought that she likes you. I always thought she had a crush on me." Du Shao muttered.
Wei Xu pushed the chocolate beans in front of him: "Do you want to eat it?"
Du Shao's eyes lit up: "You don't want to eat?"
Wei Xu shook his head.
"Then I'll take it."
"Um."
Du Shao laughed and grabbed the chocolate beans and put them in his pocket.
On the way back to his seat, he heard the sound of girls playing. Looking through the window, he saw several senior school girls in junior high school uniforms leaning against the railing in the corridor, chatting loudly while staring at a seat in the second to last row of the classroom.
Du Shao looked out the window, then looked at Wei Xu who was reading a book at the back of the classroom, then frowned with a complicated expression.
He really couldn't understand it.
Although he also admitted that his brother was indeed quite handsome, with the halo of being the top student in the grade and being the monitor of a key class, and always leading the team wherever they went, it was only a matter of time for such a person to become a celebrity in the school.
But it’s only been a week since school started. It would have been fine if girls from the same grade would casually pass by the window and look at Wei Xu during morning reading and breaks, but now even ninth-grade seniors have come to watch. Is it really that serious?
Du Shao shook his head and sighed deeply: "Students nowadays..."
