In the second year of high school, Yu Jia Xing was lucky enough to be in the same class as the person he liked.
That person sat in the first row and he sat in the third row. In between each class, his eyes would follow him until he left the classroom.
He was a good basketball player, had a sunny and handsome smile and was very popular with the girls.
Yu Jia Xing liked that guy, and that guy was called Meng Rui.
※※※
Meng Rui often went to the basketball court with people from other classes to play basketball, and Yu Jia Xing would occasionally go to watch.
It was a hot, sweltering day, without a breeze, and the air seemed to be frozen, with sweat sticking to his clothes and unable to evaporate.
There were not many people on the court, so Meng Rui went to the spectators and asked Yu Jia Xing, “There are not enough people, are you coming?”
Yu Jia Xing shook his head like a rattle and his heart beat like a rattle.
Meng Rui saw him shake his head and turned his head towards the court and shrugged: “He’s not playing.”
“Don’t ah, we’re just short of 1 person.”
“Why don’t we just forget it? It’s so hot……”
“Meng Rui, isn’t he in your class? You talk to him again.”
Yu Jia Xing heard it all, he had never liked being forced to do anything, but if the person was someone he liked, he thought he would still be soft-hearted.
Then he heard Meng Rui say again: “I don’t know him well.”
As a result, Yu Jia Xing finally obliged and went on in his non-breathable half-sleeves and black trousers.
He ran and stopped with the gang for nearly half an hour or so, before someone couldn’t hold on and sat down on the court first: “No more, no more, it’s too hot.”
Everyone stopped, and the basketball rolled away, Yu Jia Xing stood in place for two or three seconds thinking, and finally decided to go and chase the ball back.
“Hey, Fu Yuan, your ball.” Someone sitting on the ground lazily said.
Yu Jia Xing grabbed the ball and looked around for the one named ‘Fu Yuan’.
When Yu Jia Xing saw him, he raised his hand and threw the ball to him. He had an impression of the man named ‘Fu Yuan’, he wore a black vest, was tall and fast, like a black panther, and even his complexion was dark.
It was the first time Yu Jia Xing met Jing Fu Yuan. Jing Fu Yuan spoke little, played basketball well and was handsome, and some girls even jokingly shouted his name outside the court.
At that time, Yu Jia Xing thought that Jing Fu Yuan was a cool guy, very cool.
※※※
Perhaps his gaze was too obvious, someone around jokingly said to Meng Rui: “Hey, why is that little weakling Yu Jia Xing always looking at you? He doesn’t have a crush on you, does he?”
Some girls would ‘defend’ and say: “What are you talking about? Jia Xing towards Meng Rui is true love.”
Then someone else would chime in: “Yes ah, yes ah.”
The fire was already burning brightly, so everyone thought it would be okay to add more fire, right? So everyone threw torches into the fire, and the fire got hotter and hotter.
Finally, one day Meng Rui blocked Yu Jia Xing in the toilet and asked him: “You’re not gay, are you?”
Yu Jia Xing wondered why on earth he had fallen for this man.
He had just learned at that time that his sexual orientation was different from others and was sensitive, anxious and panicked……all negative emotions surrounded him.
There were a lot of people after school that day, and everyone was pouring out, and Meng Rui, who had just returned from playing ball, was pushing his way in. He bumped into Yu Jia Xing, who looked up. Meng Rui loves to smile, and smiled even after he bumped into someone, smiling a bit foolishly but also spontaneously and brightly, and he asked him: “Are you okay?”
Yu Jia Xing thought at that moment that this man smiled like the sun, and he kind of liked it.
“You’re not gay, are you?”
The toilet was quiet, Meng Rui had closed the door behind him, the echo of the enclosed space was loud, the words were infinitely amplified and sounded a bit harsh.
Yu Jia Xing shook his head gently, not answering Meng Rui’s question, and said: “I don’t like you.”
Meng Rui let out a breath and said: “That’s good……”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was pushed away by Yu Jia Xing. It was somewhat unbelievable, the boy in front of him was obviously so thin and weak, but he was quite strong.
Yu Jia Xing asked with a cold face: “Do you still need something? I want to go to the toilet.”
Meng Rui felt awkward and went out.
Yu Jia Xing didn’t care how dirty the toilet walls were, so he squatted down and leaned against the wall, burying his head in his arms.
When Jing Fu Yuan pushed the door in, he noticed a child in the corner pretending to be a ghost to scare people.
Yu Jia Xing looked up when he heard the noise, he wasn’t crying, but his eyes were a little red.
When he saw Jing Fu Yuan, his voice trembled and softly shouted, “Boss1老大 (lǎo dà): usually what gangsters would call their boss, you’re here to go to the toilet?”
Jing Fu Yuan’s face, which had never been very expressive, was rarely startled, and his voice rose slightly as he asked: “What did you call me?”
In fact, since that basketball game, Yu Jia Xing often saw Jing Fu Yuan in the crowd, Jing Fu Yuan was tall and had long legs, so every day he could be seen standing in the sea of people at recess. The key point is that he is quite dark, not wheat-coloured, but really black, most likely tanned from playing basketball.
The first time Yu Jia Xing saw Jing Fu Yuan, Jing Fu Yuan had no expression on his face, but his every movement was implicitly dashing, very cool and handsome.
Yu Jia Xing felt that Jing Fu Yuan was a very unique person, there were not many people who were so handsome even though they were so dark, he thought as he exercised, not knowing that his hands and feet were moving together2like the left hand moving with the left leg, but usually it’s the left hand and right leg that moves together, still thinking in his heart, if there’s a chance he has to acknowledge Jing Fu Yuan as his boss.
Over time, he began to secretly call Jing Fu Yuan ‘Lao Da3老大 (lǎo dà): usually what gangsters would call their boss‘ in his heart, and every time they brushed shoulders in the corridor, he would mutter ‘hello Lao Da’ in his heart.
This time in the toilet, Yu Jia Xing had just suffered the blow of ‘lost love” and when he saw Jing Fu Yuan, he simply said, “Lao Da, I’ll recognise you as my Lao Da ba?”
Jing Fu Yuan: “……”
The more Yu Jia Xing spoke, the more aggrieved he became, and he didn’t want to cry just now: “You teach me how to fight.”
Jing Fu Yuan: “……” In fact, Jing Fu Yuan kind of wanted to ask Yu Jia Xing how old he was and why he was acting like a child, but seeing how sad he was, he didn’t really ask.
He even showed his rare tenderness and said to Yu Jia Xing: “You get up first, the floor is dirty.”
Yu Jia Xing began to shed tears, and he cried without a sound, only dropping beads with a ‘patter patter’, looking like a wronged little wretch. He said: “The wall is even dirtier.”
Jing Fu Yuan’s head hurt a little: “Then you should get up.”
“I leaned on the wall.” Yu Jia Xing continued, continuing to drop beans, “My clothes are all fucking dirty, I want to cry.”
Jing Fu Yuan wanted to say that you are already crying.
Yu Jia Xing wiped the tears from his eyes and stood up, his voice trembling with a whimper: “It’s fucking infuriating, I’m so angry.”
Jing Fu Yuan inexplicably wanted to laugh, but after seeing Yu Jia Xing’s face, he didn’t want to laugh so much. Perhaps because of his good eyesight, he saw that the boy’s eyelashes quiver, and he didn’t seem to be as strong as he appeared.
The bell rang, and only then did Yu Jia Xing remember that he skipped class with Meng Rui, “Lao Da, I’ll go first.” He said he went around Jing Fu Yuan and went out of the toilet.
As a result, nothing happened to Meng Rui, but he was kicked out by the class teacher and punished to stand.
As soon as he went out, he looked up and Yu Jia Xing fixed his eyes on him – oops, isn’t this the……Lao Da?
Jing Fu Yuan was standing opposite Yu Jia Xing, and the two looked at each other for a moment.
Jing Fu Yuan asked: “What are you doing calling me Lao Da?”
Yu Jia Xing said dryly: “You’re cool.”
Jing Fu Yuan: “……”
After a moment, Jing Fu Yuan asked again: “What’s your name?”
“Ah?” Yu Jia Xing raised his head, “……Yu Jia Xing.”
“En.” Jing Fu Yuan leaned against the wall, “Xiao Di4小弟 (xiǎo dì): younger brother”
“En?”
With a smile on his lips, Jing Fu Yuan joked: “Didn’t you call me ‘Lao Da’? Then you’re my Xiao Di.”
Yu Jia Xing revealed an ugly smile.
The person who he had been sneaking around calling ‘Lao Da’ recognised him as his Xiao Di today……but today he had lost his love, so he wasn’t happy at all.
Yu Jia Xing silently thought in his heart, sorry ah Lao Da, wait for me to smile to you tomorrow.
Later, neither of them spoke. When the bell rang, Jing Fu Yuan walked to the classroom and said: “Jing Fu Yuan.”
The bell was so loud that Yu Jia Ying didn’t hear it and muttered in a low voice: “Lao Da, what did you say?”
When the bell stopped, Yu Jia Xing’s class teacher came out, and he was about to sneak in when he heard Jing Fu Yuan, who suddenly peeked out of the classroom, say: “Jing Fu Yuan.”
Yu Jia Xing froze for a couple of seconds before he said cheerfully: “I know your name.”
Jing Fu Yuan had already retracted his body, seemingly not hearing him.
※※※
When Yu Jia Xing occasionally ran into Jing Fu Yuan in the corridor, he would whisper ‘Lao Da’.
Winter was fast approaching in this city facing the north, and before the first snowfall, Yu Jia Xing noticed something remarkable.
“Da Ge5大哥 (dà gē): Big brother” Recently, Yu Jia Xing had changed his address from ‘Lao Da’ to ‘Da Ge’, “Did you shed your skin?”
Jing Fu Yuan didn’t really want to answer this.
Yu Jia Xing continued, “Why are you whiter?”
“……I just got tanned in the summer.”
“Yu Jia Xing muttered: “Is it so magical?”
Jing Fu Yuan couldn’t stand it and raised his hand to pull his ear: “Shut your mouth.”
In fact, Jing Fu Yuan had always wanted to ask Yu Jia Xing why he would only come to talk to him when there were few people, like a little gopher, but when there were many people, he would dive into the crowd and stop looking at him.
Meng Rui had also been hesitant to talk to him recently, and Jing Fu Yuan remembered that he had met Meng Rui first when he went to the toilet that day, and only later did he see Yu Jia Xing squatting in the corner when he pushed the door in.
This question didn’t bother Jing Fu Yuan for a few days, but Meng Rui took the initiative to find him.
Meng Rui said: “You……ai, that……hai, I’ll just remind you, Yu Jia Xing may be gay, you understand, right? It’s……anyway, you better stay away from him, he’s a bit weird.”
Jing Fu Yuan only returned two words: “Evidence.”
Meng Rui was a bit dumbfounded: “Ah? What evidence ah, they all say so, I’m also just reminding you, nothing else……”
The two of them spoke a few more words, Meng Rui is used to being heartless6not meaning that he is cruel or something, but he doesn’t put his heart into things, not thinking before doing things, he would say whatever he thought of, Jing Fu Yuan talked to him until he was resentful, he actually rarely moves his mouth, if words cannot solve, taking action to solve it is enough.
So he beat Meng Rui up.
The next day, Meng Rui rushed to Yu Jia Xing with a bruised face and said: “I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have listened to other people’s slanderous words, I should have used my own eyes to judge!”
Yu Jia Xing didn’t understand why he had liked Meng Rui, the stupid bastard.
Meng Rui’s words offended most of the people in the class. Many of them didn’t like Yu Jia Xing, and there was no reason for that. In a high school, in a class, there was always someone who would be left out and bullied and had things made difficult for them, maybe because you couldn’t talk, or maybe because you talked too much. There are all sorts of reasons, but to put it simply, they just don’t like you, they just hate you.
Yu Jia Xing had long been accustomed to the cold violence of the class, and after Meng Rui apologised to him, he turned around and went off to play basketball with a big grin.
Later Yu Jia Xing asked Jing Fu Yuan what he had told Meng Rui yesterday, and Jing Fu Yuan said: “Didn’t talk, he was too noisy, so I beat him up.”
“Da Ge.” Yu Jia Xing asked quite seriously, “Do you do any kind of missionary work?”
Jing Fu Yuan pushed his head away: “No, don’t think about all that nonsense.”
After the winter break came senior year, Yu Jia Xing thought, he’s going to study hard, love has nothing to do with him, Meng Rui has nothing to do with him, he’s going to establish an intimate relationship with books.
He probably never thought in any way that three years later he would have a relationship with Jing Fu Yuan, a relationship of lovers.
