When He Zhao was done and the last note died away, no one said anything for severalNo one had expected it
Xu Qingqing had been watching a video on her phone Fourattention to the video's contents
”Ie, he…”
She cut herself off halfway
Because she saw He Zhao turn, as if to e, whom no one in their class dared provoke, had not fully closed the curtain next to hiap onto his hair
The sunlight lance, looked like a person without warmth
Liu Cunhao was the first to react ”Prince of love songs, Zhao-ge”
Wan Da, bag of chips in hand and mouth open, said, ”How about… how about an encore?”
He Zhao shut off the aphone and handed it forward ”Nah I'll let you all live”
The others started calling for an encore, too, but He Zhao really had no intention of singing any aphone back, he turnedshut off the music on his phone He looked up and found that Xie Yu atching hiood…”
He wasn't content with the praises of others and was about to praise himself to the skies, too
As he drew nearer, Xie Yu stopped the praise in its tracks, ser with actual ability no longer wanted to sing anyoldies, with a very strong sense of the tied twenty years
Two songs later they really couldn't take it any's confidence, either
So, even though the bus see
[Liu Cunhao]: Who'll stop hiood reason Next, please?
[Luo Wenqiang]: Beyond me, too Next
Xie Yu watched the, albeit a strange approach
Liu Cunhao raised his hand and said, ”Teach, we'd better quiet down so we don't distract the driver”
The driver: ”……”
Xie Yu had been tapping out a reply with one hand His position was uncoroup chat and took out a pair of earphones fros?”
This newly coined nickna
He Zhao took one earbud and said, ”Drop it It sounds like I sing love songs to harass people all the ti for you… what movie is this?”
Xie Yu had just rando ti movies; occasionally he would put one on to kill tih it
There was a mini-theater on Black Water Street where Dalei and the others would go when they had soe
Xie Yu had been once before An hour and 20 one in blank-faced and come out blank-faced
Dalei and Da Mei had walked out behind hi their eyes out, unable to extricate themselves from the emotions the movie had evoked They had cried the whole way back ”It's terrible A terminal illness separated them…”
Xie Yu endured theer ”It was the script that separated thelanced at the thumbnail: it was an absurdist comedy film Both the male and female lead looked faht for a while, then reood”
Before he finished speaking, Xie Yu had already pressed the top right corner to close out of the video
”—What did you shut it off for?”
After closing it, Xie Yu hooked a finger around the earbud wire, trying to get it back froht?”
”I've seen it,” He Zhao said, raising one hand to hold the earbud in place so Xie Yu couldn't take it back He smiled and said, ”But I haven't seen it with you”
Liu Cunhao, on He Zhao's other side, sensed so that love song, an indescribable atht, his gaze finally landing on the two Big Bros watching a ether, and realized he had found the source
Eventually, he tapped Wan Da and asked hesitantly, ”Do you think there's… so between them?”
C City was not far, about forty minutes away
They had watched less than half thelot near Northlake Park Everyone packed up their things and started getting off the bus
Xie Yu waited until ers had left, then held onto the backs of the seats in front of hio of his hand and, while no one was looking, placed his hand on Xie Yu's waist instead Through the material, he felt Xie Yu's fa home this weekend?”
Xie Yu had been about to squeeze through the gap between He Zhao's knees and the seats in front, but now he paused and faintly s of?”
What else would he be thinking of?
Both of theo in Later, I'll take you around Northlake Park once and then you can go off on your own,” the tour guide shouted into his aphone ”Free activity time lasts till two Please come back on ti the lake once and listening to three stories about the locale froroups and went off on their own
A group of six gathered by the road
He Zhao asked, ”Where do you want to go?”
Luo Wenqiang enthusiastically considered the question ”The cine”
Liu Cunhao had no interest in the cineht corner of the e”
”No! The cine, you aren't a man!”
Xie Yu was indifferent He had no interest in any of it, anyway
Luo Wenqiang and Liu Cunhao continued arguing Group Leader He squatted by the roadside listening to the on
He eventually showcased his leadershi+p talent He pulled a lollipop froht, stop it Rock-paper-scissors Best of three”
It was arather wishy-washy way of handling things
During the argument, Wan Da had carefully examined the ht his attention: Haunted House
Wan Da's eyes lit up He glanced up and said, ”There's a haunted house! Shall we go?”
Xie Yu saw He Zhao's hand tre” Luo Wenqiang put the cinema to the back of his mind, then leaned over to read the description of the haunted house out loud ”…Fierce ghosts galore! They died in all sorts of ways Guaranteed scares You'll scream out loud”
