Although he had a lot of fun the night before, Dou Xun still got up early due to the influence of his biological clock. His body was awake, but his soul was still hanging on his seven orifices. He went downstairs in a daze, and was greeted by a nagging from Grandma Xu.

Grandma Xu was never annoying when she was nagging. Her tone was neither fast nor slow, and her voice sounded like lines in an opera, without any worldly air: "Your mother called twice last night to ask about you. Oh, you were crying so much that I didn't hear clearly what it was about. Look at you, how could you run away without telling your mother? Alas, grandma doesn't even know when you two came back. It's so chaotic outside now. You are just kids. If you don't go home in the middle of the night, what will you do if you meet bad guys? And this Xiao Lin... Look at him, he's too unreasonable. He will be a senior in high school next year, and he hasn't moved at all until now..."

Dou Xun responded randomly, his mind resting on Zhu Xiaocheng for a moment, and asked, "Will my mother come over today?"

Grandma Xu was stunned for a moment.

Dou Xun understood as soon as he saw her expression and nodded expressionlessly: "Oh, I see."

Zhu Xiaocheng has been abroad for ten years, living with the loneliness of a beautiful woman with a tragic fate. She is already very busy just admiring herself every day, so how could she not take care of her son?

He didn't even have time to take care of those ten years, not to mention that he is now an adult and has his own ideas.

After what happened yesterday, Zhu Xiaocheng was probably busy blaming Dou Junliang and had no time to come and discuss the college entrance examination with him.

Besides, Zhu Xiaocheng probably also knew that she had never taken care of Dou Xun's affairs before, and she probably couldn't do anything about it now, so she lacked the confidence to interfere.

Dou Xun finished his breakfast reluctantly, and went upstairs under Grandma Xu's slightly worried gaze: "Come or not, I'll go wake Xu Xilin up."

He gently pushed Xu Xilin's door open a crack, and an eerie cold air seeped out immediately. Dou Xun felt like he had opened the door of a refrigerator - Xu Xilin was full of bad habits and never understood what "saving" meant. The air conditioner in the house was always set at 16 degrees in the summer. He himself was wearing the long-sleeved pajamas he wore in the spring and autumn, curled up in the quilt, with only a bunch of messy hair on his head exposed. Maybe he wanted to cultivate himself into a penguin.

Dou Xun tiptoed into the room, stood next to Xu Xi's clinic, and looked down at him for a moment.

Xu Xilin's face was half tucked in the quilt, his face was a little red from sleeping, and he couldn't be woken up even by the earthquake. Dou Xun rarely looked at Xu Xilin so intently. He found that this person's face seemed to be born to please people, and he seemed to be smiling even when he closed his eyes. His messy hair spread on the pillowcase, very soft.

For some unknown reason, Dou Xun suddenly wanted to reach out and touch it.

He was an action-oriented person who acted as soon as he thought of something. He carefully inserted his fingers into Xu Xilin's hair.

Xu Xilin's short hair had been blown by the air conditioner all night, and it felt like cold satin without body temperature, and it felt very good. Unfortunately, it was only a short section, and it fell gently through Dou Xun's fingers with a slight movement.

Xu Xilin felt a little itchy when his own hair touched him, so he buried his face in the pillow and rubbed the tip of his nose against it gently.

Dou Xun stared blankly at the profile of his nose for half a minute before he realized that he was in a daze and a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

His fingers curled around him several times, but finally failed to wake the sleeping person up. Dou Xun wandered around the bedside for a while, silently picked up the air conditioner remote control, set the indoor temperature to 30 degrees, and left as vigilantly and quietly as when he came.

Twenty minutes later, Xu Xilin, who was sleeping in a ball of cotton, was awakened by the heat.

He got up with a dull look in his eyes, and got angry with himself. He took off his pajamas and threw them on the bed. He scratched his hair in annoyance with his bare upper body. It took him a long time to realize that the culprit that woke him up was the temperature. Xu Xilin grabbed the air conditioner remote control and looked at it. It exploded.

Needless to say, no one except Dou Xun would do such a wicked thing.

Xu Xilin grabbed his pajamas, wiped the sweat off his body, threw it away and prepared to rush out to settle the score with Dou Xun, but as soon as his hand put on the door handle, he suddenly stopped.

The memory of the previous night slowly came back to him, and Xu Xilin blinked gently.

Then he coughed uncomfortably, locked the door, brushed his teeth, took a shower, changed his clothes, tidied himself up, and left the house as if nothing had happened.

There was an unknown sound coming from Grandma Xu's old radio. It was all the retired Kunshan dialect. At the time, the tune was too highbrow and few people understood it. Even though it was later lowered and people made changes to it again and again, it was still of no avail. Now it can only be heard in the old lady's dusty radio.

Xu Xilin leaned on the railing and listened for a while, but he didn't understand what was going on. He went downstairs to eat something and grabbed a handful of dog food for Doudou. On weekends, Xu Xilin would have taken his breakfast and ran upstairs - there were only his aunt, grandmother and dog downstairs, and no one played with him. But on this day, he was just idling around Grandma Xu, and he felt a little scared when he thought about going upstairs to face Dou Xun.

"Isn't it just a kiss?" Xu Xilin silently prepared himself mentally, "He's not a girl, what's the big deal."

The more Xu Xilin thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, but his feet betrayed his reason and he refused to move. This was just like a person who was stage frightened. Even if he analyzed himself rationally and said "there is nothing to be afraid of" before going on stage, he would still tremble when he got on stage.

He had watched many action film tutorials in porn movies and was very familiar with the process. However, he could only rely on his flying imagination to experience it. The first time he really put it into practice was on Dou Xun.

Xu Xilin's hands and feet didn't tremble, but his heart was shaking. He lingered downstairs for a while, and then started to play basketball anxiously.

He was disturbing others by taking too many photos, and was scolded by his grandmother: "Xiao Lin, if you want to play ball, go out with Xiao Xun. Don't take photos randomly in the house!"

Xu Xilin half-deadly spun the ball on his index finger and shouted back in his grandmother's accent: "I know—"

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up and his eyes met Dou Xun who was standing on the stairs on the second floor.

Xu Xilin was startled and subconsciously dodged slightly, then wondered: "Why am I hiding?"

Dou Xun's throat felt tight. He raised his hand, but couldn't cough. He put it down again and said dryly, "Can you lend me the answers to the math workbook you revised this week?"

Xu Xilin said "Oh" and ran upstairs with the ball in his arms.

There is a small open space similar to a living room between the two rooms on the second floor. It is equipped with a set of sofas and several bookcases, and has become a public space for two people to do homework together when they get home. Among them, there is a corner that is a "feng shui treasure land". Not only is there a small stool next to it for feet, but you can also reach out to the small refrigerator under the bookcase and take out drinks directly.

In the past, Xu Xilin and Dou Xun would always have a small fight with each other to grab the Feng Shui treasure land, and it would be based on first come first served.

But on that day, Dou Xun didn't know what medicine he had taken wrongly, and he stood beside the "throne" waiting foolishly as if he had a dementia attack. He took the answers to the exercises handed to him by Xu Xilin, and obediently stepped aside.

Xu Xilin had never known that the word "humility" existed in this guy's dictionary, and he felt embarrassed to sit down because of him.

So a few minutes later, the two of them vacated the lonely "throne" and each occupied a corner of the sofa. There was no idle chat or quarreling with each other. In the eerie peace, they finished their homework quietly and their efficiency was surprisingly high.

Doudou was attracted by the rare quiet atmosphere upstairs. He strolled up and took a look around, then lay down under the desk and fell asleep. His white fur was rising and falling, and he clearly looked like a sarcastic and mean person. However, after looking at him for a long time, one could actually see a bit of cuteness in him.

Xu Xilin looked up inadvertently and found that Dou Xun was also looking at him. He thought about it, grabbed a bag of chocolates from the side and threw it over.

Xu Xilin blurted out what he had been thinking for a long time: "Wu Tao was a jerk yesterday. Don't take it to heart."

Dou Xun shook his head in an extremely friendly manner, and then he finally reacted and smiled tentatively at Xu Xilin.

Xu Xilin had known him for more than half a year, and he rarely got to see him in a good light. He was frightened on the spot, and his teeth that were chewing chocolate bit his tongue, and it hurt so much that he almost cried.

Dou Xun felt that he should be feeling depressed. He had just given up the college entrance examination and was about to face questioning from a large group of teachers and parents. Zhu Xiaocheng and Dou Junliang also once again proved with their actions that he was nothing in their eyes.

He has excellent grades, but he doesn't know what the point of excellence is because he has no goals and no one expects any results from him.

But Dou Xun miraculously did not feel depressed. His thoughts stayed on those troubles and loneliness for a short while, and soon slid away briskly. It was a bit like the feeling when he secretly smoked his first cigarette - an unknown external force pried him out of his depressed mood and injected into his heart an expectation that was illogical and not supported by facts, as if something good was about to happen.

Even though his mind told him that this was just an ordinary weekend.

Anticipation is a mental drug, and Dou Xun spent the whole day in a daze. In the evening, Ms. Xu Jin came back dragging a huge suitcase. After a brief rest, she began to free up her hands to deal with her two naughty children, who were "one plus one was greater than two".
