Chapter 22 Chapter 22

When Chen Xing returned to the dormitory after washing, Liu Mingxuan and the boy from the other class were not there, only He Bowen was sitting in front of the table, and he looked at him with a strange look from the moment he entered the door. Xing is too lazy to reason, He Bowen is either fourth or fifth in their class, no matter how hard he tries, he can't get into the top three. This person is far from Liu Mingxuan, and his biggest hobby may be to speak ill of others behind his back, especially he can't get used to studying The few people in front of him were not very popular in the class. They would blow their noses and stare when they saw Chen Xing, but Chen Xing never looked at him directly.

Chen Xing packed up his things, took out the book and looked at it for a while, then raised his head, with one arm resting casually on the back of the chair, he tilted his head and asked, "Why do you keep looking at me?"

He Bowen sneered, rolled his eyes at him, and immediately turned his chair around, muttering: "Don't think too much, I don't like you."

Chen Xing didn't hear what he said clearly, and he didn't bother to talk to this person anymore. He lowered his head to answer the question, out of sight and out of mind.

After a while, someone knocked on the door, and Chen Xing opened it. Du Keming stood at the door with his half-wet hair, and asked with a smile, "Let's go to dinner."

"Come in, let me change clothes." Du Keming entered the door, and immediately saw He Bowen who turned his head hastily just now, with his hands in his trouser pockets, looking at the person with his back facing him with a half-smile.

Chen Xing changed his clothes, took the money and keys, turned around and saw Du Keming staring at He Bowen's back in a daze.

Chen Xing followed his gaze, and Du Keming raised his chin towards the front: "Call your roommate together."

Chen Xing frowned and shook his head: "No, let's go."

Du Keming looked back at He Bowen meaningfully before going out, Chen Xing closed the door, raised his eyebrows and asked him: "Why, did you like it?"

"I'm not blind."

The place to eat was a large canteen. While eating porridge, Chen Xing began to lose his mind thinking about what Zhou Chen was doing now and what he would have for dinner. He already missed Zhou Chen a lot within less than a day of separation.Du Keming tried to say a few words, but Chen Xing either ignored him or dealt with it indiscriminately. He also felt that Chen Xing was not paying attention here, so he simply gave up and concentrated on drinking black rice porridge.

The two walked back from the cafeteria. Du Keming saw the short and fat figure in front of the telephone booth in the middle of the way. There was a tall and thin boy standing beside him. The two seemed to be arguing about something.

Du Keming squinted his eyes for a moment, then turned to Chen Xing and said, "You go back first, I saw my classmate." Chen Xing didn't think much, nodded and walked straight forward.Du Keming stood still and watched Chen Xing walk away, then turned and walked towards the phone booth.

Standing behind a telephone pole near the telephone booth, he reached out and touched the little drill on his ear again and again, with a faint smile on his face, listening carefully to the two people arguing over the telephone booth.

Liu Mingxuan pressed He Bowen's hand holding the phone, frowned and said, "Don't be like this, we are all classmates."

He Bowen smiled disdainfully: "Liu Mingxuan, I didn't tell you this to stop me. Let's call the school and tell them that Chen Xing is gay, and ask the school to disqualify Chen Xing from the competition, so that we can win the prize." The chance will be greater, you really don't be stupid, don't stop me, I must say."

"He Bowen, you can do it, even if there is no Chen Xing, you can't win the award. Besides, what's wrong with homosexuality, and it doesn't affect you. Why do you care so much?" Liu Mingxuan was also a little angry, and grabbed He Bowen's arm Trying to pull him away, Liu Mingxuan raised his head and met a good-looking face. Not only was he stunned, but his hand strength also weakened. He Bowen took the opportunity to break away and grab the microphone.

Du Keming smiled at Liu Mingxuan: "Student, please step aside, thank you for stopping him."

Liu Mingxuan silently stood aside, and whispered, "You're welcome."

Before He Bowen dialed the string of numbers in front of the phone, there was a sudden gust of wind behind him. Immediately afterwards, he was lifted up by his clothes, and his feet were completely off the ground. Liu Mingxuan was stunned aside. Looking at this beautiful and thin young man easily picked up a person and walked a few steps, before He Bowen's feet touched the ground, he was kicked firmly on the stomach, and he His face turned pale from the pain from squatting on the ground, beads of sweat rolled down his temples, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence.Du Keming stood in front of He Bowen with his hands in his trouser pockets, suppressed his smile, his beautiful peach eyes were chilling at this moment, and his voice was extremely soft but made people tremble: "If you want to punish Chen Xing, you are not qualified enough, there will be another time , see if I dare to kill you."

After Du Keming finished speaking, he walked back a few steps, and seeing Liu Mingxuan with an unbelievable expression on his side, he smiled friendlyly at Liu Mingxuan: "Let's go first, bye."

Liu Mingxuan looked at the innocently smiling young man with a complicated expression, then looked at He Bowen who was curled up on the ground trembling, and nodded mechanically: "Goodbye."

Du Keming whistled and walked away, Liu Mingxuan stood there in a daze, and walked away without a heartbreak.

When he returned to the dormitory, Chen Xing was reading a book, Liu Mingxuan looked at Chen Xing hesitating to speak, Chen Xing asked a little funny: "What do you want to say?"

Liu Mingxuan pulled a chair and sat next to Chen Xing, and whispered, "Are you gay?"

Chen Xing nodded calmly: "How do you know?"

"He Bowen said that he wanted to call the school, but I stopped him."

Chen Xing smiled: "Thank you."

Liu Mingxuan shook his head, hesitated for a while and asked again: "Do you know a good-looking boy with brown hair?"

Chen Xing nodded: "Du Keming, from No. [-] Middle School, have you seen him?"

"When He Bowen and I were arguing in the phone booth, he came and kicked He Bowen several meters away. Is he your friend?"

Chen Xing thought of the viciousness of that boy who always had a playful smile when he fought, and his mood was very complicated: "It's my friend."

He feels very lucky to have Xu Xin, a good friend for more than ten years, Zhou Chen, a boyfriend who loves him very much, and now, Du Keming, these people, to him, are the most precious things in his life. Important wealth is a great gift from God to him. Other things are not important. He just wants to keep these people and keep them in his life forever.

After a while, He Bowen came back, and he kept his head down from the moment he entered the door, not daring to look up at Chen Xing.Chen Xing also chooses to ignore him. In fact, he doesn't mind being known as gay, but he is afraid that Zhou Chen will be angry and that Zhou Chen will be affected. He doesn't want the person he loves to be unhappy because of him. .

The sky was getting dark gradually, Chen Xing put on a scarf, put on his coat and went out of the dormitory door, the road was empty, only a few people here and there, he walked towards the phone booth according to the way Liu Mingxuan said, there was a long line of phone booths at the moment In the first team, Chen Xing walked over and stood at the end of the team. Occasionally, a gust of wind would blow the tip of his nose red.

After waiting for four or ten minutes, Chen Xing dialed the number he knew by heart and waited anxiously. The waiting time was longer than before. It took Zhou Chen a long time to answer the phone.

"Hello?" A familiar voice came from the receiver, and the corners of Chen Xing's lips slowly raised as he pinched his throat and asked, "Uncle, who are you?"

Zhou Chen's chuckle came from next to his ear: "Uncle is your boyfriend."

"I miss you so much." Chen Xing whispered while holding the microphone.

Zhou Chen seemed to be writing. There was the sound of the nib of the pen scratching the paper, and the voice was gentle: "I miss you too. This is the public phone. You study hard over there, be good and be obedient."

"Is there nothing else to say?"

Zhou Chen was silent for a while, then said seriously: "Don't flirt with others, not even boys or girls."

Chen Xing hugged the microphone and laughed: "You too, cover your face with a mask when you go out, your face is very attractive, there are still many people waiting behind, I will call you tomorrow. "

"Well, good night, love you."

"Good night, I love you too."

The training life is very boring, especially for a subject, a lot of practice is done every day, Chen Xing doesn't think it is too strenuous, but a little bored.He had to go to the phone booth to make a call to Zhou Chen every night, and he often couldn't sleep at night. There was a person missing on the bed, a strong arm was missing from his waist, and a warm chest was missing from his back. Chen Xing opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Chen. Ceiling, thinking about Zhou Chen's appearance in his mind, the thoughts spread wildly in the dark night, trying to swallow him whole, yes, he missed him.

After the training camp, there is a competition, in a middle school in Hangzhou.Du Keming will train here for a month. He is an art examinee. Chen Xing has seen his paintings, watercolors, which are very beautiful.Every time you meet Du Keming, you can find some new shining points from him. The whole person shines brightly in your world, making it hard for you not to pay attention to him.

When Chen Xing left, he went to Du Keming's dormitory to say goodbye to Du Keming. Du Keming was wearing a pink bunny one-piece pajamas, and there was a ball behind his butt that was a rabbit tail. His bangs on his forehead grew long, so he tied them with a rubber band casually. Du Keming was still in a daze when he opened the door. Chen Xing leaned on the door frame and looked at Du Keming, who was exuding a girlish air, and bent over smiling while holding the door frame.

Du Keming reached out his hand to take off the rubber band, his bangs still kept the same shape, he caught a glimpse of the suitcase in Chen Xing's hand, his eyes dimmed: "Are you leaving?"

Chen Xing nodded: "I'm leaving, there's a competition tomorrow, and I'll go home straight after the exam tomorrow, you're pretty cute."

Du Keming raised his eyes and smiled, walked two steps closer to Chen Xing's ear, his voice was still hoarse, light and ambiguous: "Do you miss the day?"

The corners of Chen Xing's mouth twitched, and he stretched out his long arms to hug Du Keming. Du Keming was frightened by this sudden movement. Du Keming was about the same height as Chen Xing. Chen Xing turned his head and said seriously: "Du Keming, thank you."

Du Keming asked dumbly, "Thank you for what?"

"Actually, I know about your beating at the phone booth that day. I wanted to wait for you to tell me, but you still didn't say anything when you were about to leave. Thank you for treating me as a friend and protecting me so much."

Du Keming grinned with a corner of his mouth, and stretched out his arms to hug Chen Xing: "Zhou Chen won't be angry if you hug me like that."

"He doesn't know."

(Zhou Chen, look at your boyfriend and other men hugging and hugging behind your back. Hurry up.)

Chen Xing let go of Du Keming, punched Du Keming on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Train hard, come back and treat you to dinner, I will cook."

"Just us?"

"Don't dream, there are Zhou Chen and Xu Xin."

Du Keming twitched the corner of his mouth: "Not sincere."

"Love will not come."

Du Keming put away his laughing expression, and said seriously: "Chen Xing, if you are recommended to Tsinghua University, will you go?"

Chen Xing shook his head: "I don't want to go, I don't like physics, I haven't decided where to go yet."

"Then tell me when you've made up your mind."

"Yes, I will."

"Chen Xing, you are a little different from when I first saw you."

"What's the difference?"

"When I saw you for the first time, you were covered in thorns, and you exuded an aura that should not be approached by strangers. The air pressure around you was so low that it would freeze people to death, but now I find that you are quite fond of talking and laughing. Sometimes I do stupid things.”

Chen Xing didn't refute, and said: "Because you are included in the circle of my close people, I always look like this in front of those close to me."

Over there, Liu Mingxuan called for Chen Xing to gather, and Chen Xing pulled the box and smiled at Du Keming: "Let's go."

Du Keming leaned against the door frame and said softly: "Goodbye." Chen Xing didn't turn his head, otherwise he would have seen the brown-haired boy in pink pajamas, looking at the empty corridor with red eyes.

The competition was from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the morning. Although Chen Xing was usually good at physics, he felt it was difficult this time. Liu Mingxuan came out of the examination room with a wry smile and said to Chen Xing, "It's so difficult."

Chen Xing was noncommittal. He didn't have any expectations about whether he won the prize this time. Naturally, he didn't care too much about the outcome. Anyway, he had done everything he should do during this period of time, and he did his best to take the exam, just because I just don't want Zhou Chen to be disappointed.

Chen Xing called Zhou Chen, but the phone was turned off. He was a little depressed and waited for the bus to go to the airport. Before boarding the plane, he called Zhou Chen again, but the phone was still turned off.He was a little anxious, today is the weekend, Zhou Chen doesn't go to work, why is the phone kept shutting down?
