Yu Chengsong went up the stairs two steps at a time. The voice-controlled light on the fourth floor was broken again. He almost collapsed the stairs, but they still didn’t light up. He could only grope in the dark with his key to open the door.
The living room was quiet. Yu Chengsong turned on the light and squinted his eyes due to the dazzle. It took him a while to adjust before he looked around carefully.
The sofa cushions were neatly arranged, nothing spilled on the coffee table, and the floor tiles were mopped to shine… there were no signs of war.
Very good, no worries.
He first went back to his room, threw his schoolbag away, then went out and knocked on Yu Chengdi’s bedroom, banging on the door.
The door was opened from the inside. Yu Chengdi frowned at him and said unhappily, “The door is broken, you have to repair it at your own expense.”
“Why should I spend money if your door is broken?” Yu Chengsong stretched out his hand, rubbed his head hard twice, and suddenly said, “I have a monthly exam today.”
“What does it have to do with me? Stop pulling my hair!” Yu Chengdi tried to retreat, but his brother held his head down, and he couldn’t move.
“The questions were so difficult…” Yu Chengsong sighed solemnly, looked at Yu Chengdi’s face, which was full of “you are not that good either”, and burst out laughing, saying, “But I know all the answers, how can I complain?”
“You! Do you think it has anything to do with me?” Yu Chengdi twisted his wrist, his face flushed with anger.
He had just failed the exam, and Yu Chengsong came over to make him angry.
Annoying!
“It has nothing to do with you. I just came to see how our little idiot is doing.” Yu Chengsong grabbed two more handfuls of the little curly hair before letting go and sighed with regret, “You grow up looking so much like me, but how come your IQ is nothing like mine?”
After saying this, he immediately left without waiting for Yu Chengdi to get angry.
Yu Chengdi grabbed the door and almost cried in anger.
After taking a shower, Yu Chengsong sat on the bed and dried his hair. His hair was not seriously curled, but it started to bend a little near the ends, and it was not easy to get tangled when blow-dried.
As he leaned towards the head of the bed, he picked up his cell phone to see if there was any business.
Zheyu: Scumbag, like my post on WeChat Moments!
Zheyu: In the end, I still endured it all alone
Yu Chengsong clicked into the moment and saw that idiot Zhou Zheyu posted more than ten rows of “Someone said I was ugly, crying, crying”, and a bunch of oga below kept commenting, “Mommy will hug you.”
He laughed for a long time until his face hurt, and finally he gave a thumbs up.
After scrolling down twice, Yu Chengsong’s fingers stopped.
Yin Gu posted a photo of the moon. Judging from the clouds in the sky… he doesn’t know where it was taken.
He threw a piece of candy into his mouth and commented, “egg.jpg” below.
He didn’t exit after leaving the comment. He waited for about a minute, and Yin Gu indeed replied.
-Egg
-?
He was typing while enjoying himself.
-I wish you a zero on the test
Just a few seconds after the message was sent, the phone started ringing, and the voice interface showed an avatar of Yin Gu holding a cat.
Yu Chengsong pressed the voice button to answer the call, “Hello?”
There was total silence on the other side, not even the sound of breathing.
“Speak?” Yu Chengsong looked at the screen of his phone, which showed that he was on a call. He felt like an idiot. “Yin Gu, f*ck—”
“Beep—”
“…F*ck?” Yu Chengsong was stunned for a moment and pressed the call button. “You’re done for.”
“Ding, ding, ding.”
The smile on the face of the person holding the cat on the voice page seemed to be mocking him blatantly, and Yu Chengsong also pressed the reject button without thinking.
Let’s die together, you son of a b*tch.
Yin Gu sent a voice message, his voice sounded a little hoarse.
Classmate Yin: You’re done for.
Without waiting for Yu Chengsong to reply, he sent a second message.
Classmate Yin: Cancel, so neither of us will be done for.
“F*ck…”
Thanks to Zhou Zheyu and Yin Gu, Yu Chengsong felt like he had laughed himself into an idiot.
Yu Chengsong went out directly in the morning. It is better to be cautious during the exam period. It is not a big deal to die suddenly from eating food made by his mother, but it will be a big matter to rush out of the classroom due to diarrhea in the middle of the exam. He couldn’t afford to lose his face.
At the same time and place, Yu Chengsong saw the familiar figure as expected, although he didn’t know why he used the word “as expected.”
He rode over and patted Yin Gu on the back without much effort: “Yo, what a coincidence.”
“Yeah.” Yin Gu rubbed his back and narrowed his eyes with a smile. “Are you angry?”
“How could that be possible?” Yu Chengsong also smiled falsely, “I am famous for my good temper.”
He turned to the old man and asked for two sesame sugar biscuit and a cup of soy milk, but the old man told him that the soy milk was gone.
“How about preserved egg and lean meat porridge?” the old man asked him.
“No.” Yu Chengsong scanning the code to pay. “You should call this preserved egg porridge, you will have to use a microscope to find the lean meat.”
“If you don’t want to eat, get out, you little brat!” The old man scolded him.
Yu Chengsong took the biscuit with a smile, opened the package, and took a bite. He couldn’t help but sigh. He had to use a microscope to find the sugar.
“You—” Yu Chengsong turned his head and was about to speak when he saw Yin Gu’s left hand. The palm was wrapped with several circles of gauze. He didn’t see it because of the angle. He was stunned for a moment. “How did it happen?”
Yin Gu glanced at it, moved his fingers, and said with a smile, “I was not careful when moving things.”
Yu Chengsong looked at him for a while and didn’t ask any more questions.
“Deskmate, can you take a ride today?” Yin Gu tilted his head to look at him, with a smile on his lips.
“Did the almanac tell you that it was not advisable to take a bike yesterday?” Yu Chengsong propped himself up with his legs, “Get on.”
Yin Gu sat in the back seat and drank a mouthful of porridge before asking, “How was your exam?”
“It’s definitely not a big zero.” Yu Chengsong rode away.
There was a rustling sound behind him, and after a while, a beautiful hand reached out to him, holding a can of Wangzai milk.
Yu Chengsong hung the sesame sugar biscuit on the handlebars, took the milk, opened the pull ring with one hand, took a sip, and then he felt the biscuit that was choking in his throat go down.
“No merit, no reward.” He took two more sips. “This good good, do you want to ask me for something?”
“Let’s make a bet.” Yin Gu said.
“En?” Yu Chengsong looked back at him, “What bet?”
“Watch the road.” Yin Gu tapped him on the lower back.
“F*ck!” Yu Chengsong shuddered, and his lower back and shoulders suddenly became numb, as if he had been hit by a sunflower acupoint massage.
When Zhou Zheyu and the others were sitting in the back seat, they also cuddled and touched him, and there was no feeling. But when Yin Gu flicked it with his fingertips, the smaller the area under force, the greater the pressure… The extremely complicated feeling that Yu Chengsong had never experienced before almost made him jump up.
“Itchy?” Yin Gu asked.
“Why don’t you try it?” Yu Chengsong wanted to kick him down.
“Forget it.” Yin Gu said. “I’m injured, and it’s not convenient for me to ride.”
“What’s the bet?” Yu Chengsong tilted his neck back and drank a whole can of milk, then rode straight in without paying attention to the guard’s calls.
“Let’s bet on the grade ranking this time.” Yin Gu stretched out his hand in front of Yu Chengsong, keeping a polite distance, “Who is higher.”
“Wager?” Yu Chengsong put the empty can in his hand and watched him take it to the back.
“One thing.” Yin Gu said with interest, “Is that it can be done without violating the other party’s wishes.”
“Why should I bet with you? What are my benefits?” Yu Chengsong clicked his tongue.
He was no longer surprised to hear these words coming from Yin Gu’s mouth. This is the guy who looks like a good kid but is actually the most flirtatious. “Because…” Yin Gu tapped the can with his fingertips, with a smile in his voice. “You’re curious ah.”
“…I’m not that curious either.” Yu Chengsong asked himself, feeling a little curious.
Yin Gu has a face that says, “I have so many stories that I won’t tell you”. Can he be blamed for being curious? No, he can’t ah.
“Then just consider it because I am a wounded person?” Yin Gu said.
“Is this a reason?” Yu Chengsong wanted to turn around to see what he was thinking, but halfway through the movement, he turned it back abruptly.
If he pokes him again, both of them will have to roll to the ground.
“I’m injured now, which might affect my performance later. You don’t even dare to agree to a bet from a patient?” Yin Gu’s tone was a little teasing, and coupled with his pleasant voice, it made people want to slap him in the face.
“Do you think I’m someone who can be irritated by a few words from you?” Yu Chengsong sneered.
“Then what to do?” Yin Gu thought seriously for a while and suddenly said, “You drank a can of Wangzai milk from me already.”
“Huh?” Yu Chengsong couldn’t help but look back at him.
Yin Gu raised his right pinky and thumb, made a “six” gesture, raised his smiling face, and said with a smile, “Six yuan.”
“No, Yin Gu, are you setting a trap for me?” Yu Chengsong was convinced. “It’s not a big deal, why are you trying to lure the enemy in? How immoral!”
“Six yuan ah.” Yin Gu sighed.
“Stop.” Yu Chengsong said, “Let’s bet then.”
Yin Gu’s joyful laughter made Yu Chengsong feel like an idiot again.
Idiot, so be it. He consoled himself. Life needs some surprises and excitement; otherwise, you will end up like a puppet, even worse than an idiot.
Yin Gu did not walk today, so the two of them arrived more than ten minutes early.
Yin Gu put down his schoolbag and looked back. Yu Chengsong threw his schoolbag, turned around, and went out the back door.
He retracted his gaze and looked at the gauze on his left hand. The wound inside was deeper than he thought, and it hurt all night.
He took some time to get a tetanus shot yesterday. And the doctor almost called the police, but he lied and said that he made a mistake while cooking, and finally the doctor told him to change the medicine twice a day, morning and night…
The bell rang, and the invigilator had already started to open the papers when Yu Chengsong came in from the front door. When he passed Yin Gu, he threw a plastic bag on his desk.
Yin Gu glanced at him, lowered his head to open it, was stunned when he saw what was inside, and after a while he covered his mouth with his fist and smiled.
Inside is gauze, iodine, and anti-inflammatory medicine…
Too many people handed in their papers early yesterday, and before the exam was over, there was already a group of people talking and comparing answers in the corridor. It was so chaotic that they couldn’t take the exam.
Today, the school has a rule that students are not allowed to hand in their papers early, and they have to stay in the classroom even after they finish.
Finally, the exam was over, and the class was in an uproar. Everyone was cursing the teacher for being inhumane and saying the questions were so difficult that it would make people want to jump off the building.
The fat boy sitting in front of Yu Chengsong, who was ranked second in the grade at the end of last semester, slammed the table, then laid on it and started crying loudly in grief and anger.
Yu Chengsong let out a “ho” and began to laugh in a rude way. The kind that made a lot of noise, laughing at the little chubby boy so much that he dared not speak up and wiped away his tears of grievance.
Yu Chengsong was very emotional.
He burst into tears in the examination room immediately after not doing well in the exam. How true are his feelings?
Why are there always tears in my eyes? Because I love this test paper deeply.
Just when he was halfway through expressing his feelings, someone in the front row who was surrounded by a group of oga suddenly stood up and walked straight to the back row with a plastic bag of medicine.
Yu Chengsong felt that, if he was not mistaken, he was coming for him.
There were already several pairs of eyes glancing over here from the corner of his eye. Yu Chengsong had always been accustomed to being himself under all kinds of gazes since he was a child. He immediately waved his hand and shouted, “What’s wrong, baby?”
The expressions of the owners of the eyes instantly split apart.
Yu Chengsong felt comfortable.
Yin Gu raised his eyebrows, ignored him, and instead tapped the fat boy’s desk lightly.
The little fat boy was crying so hard that he didn’t notice Yu Chengsong’s words, “baby”, which were so touching that they made the world shake and the ghosts cry. When he looked up at Yin Gu, he was very impatient.
“Classmate, can we change seats?” Yin Gu asked with a smile.
“Rely on what?!” the fat boy twitched again after he finished speaking.
Yu Chengsong felt sorry for him. Look, good students are so fragile.
“Rely on…” Yin Gu pointed behind the little fat boy and smiled gently. “He called me baby.”
“……” The little boy turned back blankly, and after confirming that the person behind him was indeed Yu Chengsong, he stiffly put away the mineral water on the table, stood up like a robot, and even limped when he took a step.
Yin Gu sat down sideways and put the plastic bag on Yu Chengsong’s desk.
“Don’t thank me.” Yu Chengsong pointed to the side. “Kneel down and call me dad.”
“How was your exam?” Yin Gu opened the plastic bag and took out the things inside one by one.
“A competitor trying to gather information?” Yu Chengsong leaned back in his chair and watched him pose as if he had obsessive-compulsive disorder.
“Yes.” Yin Gu glanced at him. “Confess, and you will be treated leniently.”
“It was terrible.” Yu Chengsong covered his heart, frowned, and regretted it. “I wrote it with my eyes closed.”
“Then I took advantage.” Yin Gu nodded. “I opened half of it.”
“You came all the way here just to talk about this?” Yu Chengsong looked at him.
Yin Gu unscrewed the cap of the iodine bottle.
Yu Chengsong sighed. “I’ve said that there’s no need to thank—”
“Help me apply the medicine.” Yin Gu pushed the bottle towards him and said, as a matter of course.
“What?” Yu Chengsong felt that his expression must be very interesting, so much so that the girl in the next row covered her mouth in surprise.
“You owe me one.” Yin Gu said.
“When—” Yu Chengsong paused, thinking of the time in the infirmary, and couldn’t help but say, “Tsk, weren’t you the one who rushed to me last time?”
The voice of this sentence was neither loud nor soft, and everyone who should hear it heard it. The class suddenly became so quiet that they could hear a pin drop, and everyone was looking at the two alphas in the back row.
Let me, no matter how or where, they don’t need this little traffic.
Yu Chengsong also realized that this sentence was ambiguous. He was not embarrassed at all. He even raised the corner of his mouth at them, smiled charmingly, and said word by word, “Give. Me. The. Medicine.”
The whole class immediately had a disappointed expression of “That’s it ah” and went about their business. Only a few oga gathered together, blushing and whispering.
Yin Gu ignored those looks and calmly put his hands on the table.
Yu Chengsong looked at him for a full half minute and finally picked up the cotton swab and said, “I am still too kind. The fact that a child like me is not labeled as a good child is because God is blind.”
“Indeed.” Yin Gu nodded in agreement.
Yu Chengsong violently removed the gauze from his hand and was stunned again when he saw the wound—a long line across the palm of his hand. It looked scary even after the stitches, one could imagine how bloody it was at that time.
If this was caused by moving things, Yin Gu might have brought a machete last night.
“Dagger?” He asked.
“Probably, I didn’t see it clearly.” Yin Gu said.
“You have a rich nightlife ah.” Yu Chengsong dipped the iodine in his palm and pressed it.
The movement seemed neither light nor heavy, but Yin Gu actually didn’t feel much pain.
“Did you really go to the vocational high school to experience life?” Yu Chengsong glanced at him.
“I didn’t.” Yin Gu laughed. “I don’t know the way either ah.”
Yu Chengsong picked up the anti-inflammatory medicine and sprayed it. “Next time you are about to die, you can tell them my name.”
Yin Gu held his chin and looked at him. “Will the person on the other side be scared to death if I tell him your name?”
“I can hit you harder.” Yu Chengsong smiled fakely.
“Thank you so much.” Yin Gu also smiled.
Yu Chengsong raised his middle finger in a friendly manner, “You’re welcome.”
