Chapter 316 I'm Really Not a Gangster
At dusk, the sunlight becomes particularly vivid, and the peach petals scattered on the ground are shining with golden light.
Xu Cheng stood there and stretched, "Let's go back first, it's almost time for self-study."
The girl was still thinking about what he had said before.
He nodded when he heard that and followed in small steps.
"Oh, yes."
Xu Cheng turned his head and glanced at Yu Yu.
"You'll have to perform a show when you go to the nursing home, so remember to prepare one."
The girl was stunned, her beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with confusion.
"…Me? Preparing a show?"
"Yes, everyone needs to prepare."
"What...what show?"
"Usually they sing revolutionary songs, three-line verses, and quick-paced music. What are you going to do?"
This really stumped the girl.
Performance show?
Just thinking about the feeling of standing in the center of the stage, being stared at by countless eyes, made my legs tremble with fear.
What's more, singing and clapperboard sound like skills that cannot be mastered without two and a half years of practice. How could she know these?
"I...I...I can't do this..."
"But that's the rule. Everyone has to perform one." Xu Cheng looked troubled.
Yu Yu muttered quietly in his heart.
If she could choose not to go, then she could not perform, right?
only……
The girl glanced in the direction beside her, and seeing Xu Cheng's thoughtful expression, she didn't dare to say she didn't want to go.
"How about this, you can just perform a show with me, and then you can just stand by and do some exercise, is that ok?"
"...Yeah." The girl pursed her lips, thinking that this was okay, and agreed softly.
Anyway, it would be impossible not to go, so this proposal seemed to be the best.
And when she stood next to Xu Cheng, she always had a strange feeling. She couldn't describe it, but she just felt less afraid and dared to look other people in the eye.
"What are we going to perform, Xu Cheng..."
"Let's sing a red song. This one is a little simpler. Let's sing "Song of Farewell to the Soldiers". Go back and listen to this song briefly. Then stand beside me and hum it softly."
"Oh, Ten Farewells to Soldiers..." The girl nodded, repeated the name of the song several times, and memorized it very seriously.
Before evening self-study, the classroom was noisy as usual.
Xu Cheng coughed while standing on the podium, and the class quickly became quiet, with only whispers remaining .
Xu Cheng would not go so far as to write down the names of those who whispered, so he sat back in his seat and raised his hand to gently poke the girl's tender back.
"Lin Wanzhou."
The girl sitting in the front row was thinking about a question. When her train of thought was interrupted, she turned around angrily, biting the mint candy in her mouth with her little canine teeth.
"what?"
"Ahem...are you going to the nursing home event?"
"What day?"
Xu Cheng told her the time, and the girl frowned and shook her head, "I don't have time that day. My mother happened to be on a flight back to China that day. My father and I had to go to the airport to pick her up, and then we had to have dinner..."
"That's fine, go pick it up."
Although the rules are dead, people are alive.
Lin Wanzhou's mother had been studying abroad for nearly a year, and the family was finally reunited. Of course, he couldn't destroy this hard-earned atmosphere.
"What are you eating?" He looked at the girl's rosy lips. There was obviously a small bulge behind her thin lips.
"Mint, what's wrong?"
"I want one too."
"No more, only one piece." The girl said and turned away.
Xu Cheng was busy deciding on the final list of volunteers when suddenly a pair of fair and delicate hands appeared in front of him, clenched into fists, and stretched out in front of the boy.
He raised his head and looked forward, and found that Lin Wanzhou in the front row did not turn around, so he could only see the back of his smooth neck.
She just held out her arm.
Just as Xu Cheng was puzzled, the girl opened her white fingers, revealing a crystal clear and moist candy in her palm.
“…”
Xu Cheng found that he really didn't understand girls. Sometimes they were so reserved that it drove you crazy, and sometimes they were so bold that it scared you.
But maybe that's why they are charming, cute and attractive.
At lightning speed, the boy twisted the candy in her palm with his fingertips and quickly stuffed it into his mouth.
The mouth is immediately filled with the fresh minty taste, mixed with the faint fragrance of flowers and plants, and a hint of sweetness. This sweetness seems to drip into the tip of the heart along with the saliva, truly refreshing.
Just as the boy was savoring it carefully, the girl's hand, which had been stretched behind her back, quickly retracted, as if she was afraid that he would catch her fingers and bite them.
She turned her head and glanced at Xu Cheng with a smile from between the gaps in the pile of documents on the table.
"Is it tasty?"
These three words were spoken by the girl with her lips, and the boy was able to understand them easily because he was familiar with her.
He nodded, opened his mouth and spoke to her with exaggerated lip movements.
“Very delicious.”
The straightforward answer made the girl blush for a moment, and then she muttered something.
"It just fell to the ground."
"???"
The muscles on Xu Cheng's face twitched a few times, and the girl looked at his deflated expression with satisfaction before turning away.
Of course the sugar didn't fall to the ground.
but……
snort.
It was his fault for disturbing her while she was doing her homework just now.
She is extremely vindictive.
…
During the last few weeks of the second year of high school, there were often inexplicable holidays because of various major exams that occupied the classrooms.
Xu Cheng had made an appointment to meet Yu Yu to practice singing today, so he got dressed early in the morning and ran to Yu Yu's courtyard.
Due to years of lack of repair, the walls of the courtyard were covered with dark green moss. The boy was about to knock on the wooden door, but before he could knock he ran into his mother-in-law who was about to go out.
The old man looked much older today, with the passing of time becoming more and more obvious on his face. He was wearing the work clothes issued by his unit.
Nowadays, I can just do some simple cleaning work in government offices, and I no longer have to go out in the wind and sun to sell sweet potatoes.
"Baby, here I come."
“Meow.”
"Good morning, grandma." Xu Cheng greeted her obediently and rubbed the cat's head on the ground.
"I'm here to play with the little fish."
"well."
Grandma smiled, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes moved, "Yu'er is still awake, I'll call her."
"It's okay, it's okay, let her sleep, I'll sit in the room and wait for her to wake up."
The two families have a close relationship and visit each other during festivals. If you count carefully, they are closer than relatives, so it would not be abrupt to say such words in front of my mother-in-law.
He carried Xiaobai in, closed the gate, and walked around the yard a few times with the cat.
The rainy season is coming, and I feel that many places need to be repaired and renovated in advance, otherwise it will be a bit dangerous when the time comes.
I tried checking the light bulbs in every room.
This winter, my mother-in-law was changing a light bulb by herself and fell down. Although she only suffered minor injuries, she was hospitalized for a long time.
From then on, Xu Cheng developed the habit of checking the light bulbs, and once he found that one was broken, he would install a new one in time.
Finally, every room was checked, leaving only Yu Yu's room. The young man stood in front of the door and hesitated for a moment.
I looked at my watch and it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
strangeness.
Xiaoyu, who always gets up early, why did he suddenly stay in bed today?
The door was not completely closed, leaving a gap big enough for a cat to pass through.
The boy's damn curiosity was like a cat scratching his chest, making him unable to help but look inside through the gap and the door decoration in the shape of a tiny pendant.
The layout of the house is not much different from before.
There was a light blue tablecloth on the small square table, with books and drawing papers scattered around next to it, and a few pens randomly placed on the drawing paper.
Further to the side, there are neatly stacked clothes. At the bottom is a pair of jeans, and above it is a black T-shirt. The one above that also seems to be black, mixed with other clothes.
As if his eyes were burning, the young man swallowed his saliva, retracted his gaze, raised his head and lowered it again, and put his fists to his mouth, looking as embarrassed as a scholar.
Xiaobai, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, stared at him with hostility, his eyes flashing and his little tail wagging, as if he would scratch his face if he dared to do anything bad the next second.
I sat in the room bored for a while and looked at my watch. It was already 10 o'clock, but there was still no sound from Yu Yu's room.
This made the young man feel even more strange.
If a person's biological clock is well developed, even if he sleeps in, it will not exceed his normal schedule by too much.
Not to mention the daily routine of high school students.
If we only talk about waking up, not staying in bed, then on the weekends you will wake up at most at 10 o'clock.
The human brain is a highly developed thinking tool. Once faced with a problem or challenge, the brain will automatically look for ways to solve the problem, and will begin to spread to various related clips that have been seen before, which is simply called daydreaming.
This is what Xu Cheng is like at this moment.
My mind involuntarily began to flash through news stories such as "sudden death was discovered several days later" and "doctors said that coming ten minutes earlier would not miss the best treatment time."
After hesitating for ten minutes, the boy decided to push the door open and take a look.
Pay attention, he is not being a hooligan, but trying to ensure Yu Yu’s life safety.
Tiptoeing towards the door, Xiaobai scratched the boy's trouser legs with his claws, but could not stop him.
The door slowly opened, making a slight creaking sound.
The unique fragrance in the girl's room, which was consistent with her body scent, hit him in the face, making him a little dazed.
Soon, Yu Yu’s small bed came into sight.
She was sleeping soundly, lying on her side, like a kitten that had not woken up yet, her body slightly curled up, her hair scattered around her cheeks, a thin sheet covering her pair of slender legs, and her two arms sticking out from the sheet, placed a little distance in front of her cheeks.
The young man gently lifted the door curtain and walked into the room with his heart beating violently.
Not a gangster, not a gangster, not a gangster...
Xu Cheng kept reminding himself in his heart, not sure if he was reminding himself not to be as scared as a thief, or to remind himself not to control himself and become a hooligan.
Of course, we need to confirm the girl's vital signs, but confirmation of this kind of thing is definitely impossible to see from a distance.
The young man stood beside Yu Yu's bed, and lay in front of him, her sleeping posture natural and seductive.
And once you get closer, everything in front of you becomes clearer and more impactful.
The girl's neck was white enough, and the sheet happened to fall down a little, revealing more of her shoulders.
The Creator made the boy's shoulders look broad and strong, but made Yu Yu's shoulders delicate and gentle.
Not only did her skin look delicate and even, but it also looked fresh and glowing. The boy's eyes moved down along the graceful curve of her shoulders. The slight bulge that was different from that of boys made him swallow his saliva.
It's hard to be a good person.
The boy sighed.
The finger slowly stretched towards the tip of the girl's nose...
At this moment, Yu Yu, who had his eyes closed, was also extremely nervous.
She had just woken up, but when she saw through the gap in front of her eyes that it was Xu Cheng standing beside the bed, she didn't know whether she should open her eyes or not.
If she woke up at this moment and he happened to be in her room, would she be considered caught in bed with him?
Just continue pretending to sleep.
Of course, the girl's brain immediately confirmed the covered part of the quilt.
The first place she checked was the feet. She found that both little feet were tucked into the sheets, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
But soon, the slight chill in her shoulders and neck made her feel that something was wrong.
The girl pulled it up a little bit, but even though she had tried her best, it seemed like she didn't move it up at all.
However, when one sensory ability is lost, the abilities of other senses will automatically become sharp. This is the brain's instinctive defense mechanism.
Although he didn't go to see it, Yu Yu could still imagine the scene in his room at that moment.
Xu Cheng was now standing in front of her bed and had been standing there for a long time without moving.
This frightened her all of a sudden.
What is he doing?
He wouldn't be like Shinji...doing the same thing he did at Asuka's bedside.
Probably not.
Although the girl had never seen, watched or done anything like it, she had plenty of knowledge.
She knew that when boys rewarded themselves, there would be strange sounds and smells.
Just as he was thinking about it, Yu Yu keenly noticed that Xu Cheng beside the bed finally moved.
She opened her eyelids slightly and observed secretly.
The gaps between my eyelids were filled with the morning light from outside the window. It was a bit dazzling, but was quickly blocked by something.
It was a big hand that slowly stretched out towards her, and the place it stretched out to was...
The slightly cool neck and the part below seemed to remind the girl.
He, he, he...
No matter what, the girl couldn't pretend to sleep anymore.
It was like a fish jumping up on a chopping board, bouncing up with a whoosh, then shrinking to the corner of the bed wrapped in a thin sheet.
Her whole body was curled up and trembling, her peach blossom eyes were moist and rosy, and she looked at Xu Cheng pitifully.
“No, don’t…”
