He Zhao remembered that Xie Yu had not yet answered his question fro hoo hoone to Aunt Mei's last weekend so if he didn't spend this weekend with Mada but she would be quietly upset
”I'o back to appease my mom”
He Zhao said, ”Ah”
A while later, he asked, ”Then when does my little friend Xie Yu plan to appease his boyfriend?”
Class 3 got off the bus
Many parents had gathered around the school gates Xu Qingqing'swith other parents She pulled an apple froot out, and walked over ”Are you hungry? What did you bring on the class trip? I told you not to eat so many snacks”
The parents all knew each other Liu Cunhao had roup chat that his e's ates
Liu Cunhao and the others walked over and greeted each other's parents
He Zhao got off the bus and glanced across the road
Xie Yu didn't need to take anything ho he had taken last weekend—but he still followed He Zhao to the dors
Xie Yu followed He Zhao all the way back to his dor ”You're not packing?”
Xie Yu replied, ”I don't need to bring anything”
He Zhao was about to ask, 'Then what are you doing here?' when he heard Xie Yu say, ”I cao”
He Zhao had wanted to hug him but hadn't found a suitable location the entire trip
Xie Yu had intended to just hug hi, to appease him, but when they touched he found it was not so easy to leave after all
He Zhao pressed close to hih the he his head to bite Xie Yu's neck ”Shall I take care of it for you?”
Xie Yu huhten his hand, alhtened on his bedsheets,on his wrist made his skin look even paler in contrast, a vivid and evocative sight
When He Zhao had bought it, he had never iined it would look this way on Xie Yu's wrist
fuck He really was going to die
When it was over, Xie Yu let go of the bedsheets, raising a hand to cover his eyes He Zhao got up to pull a tissue from a box at the head of the bed He pulled several sheets out and handed them to Xie Yu
The air was thick with the scent of a certain fluid
Xie Yu took it Cleaning up didn't seeo back to his own rooe his pants, then remembered that He Zhao was still hard
”I advise you not to touch o back and appease your mom”
”Ah…” Xie Yu was just about to touch hi onto the edge of the bed He got up and said, completely disaffected ”Thanks, then Take a cold shower to cool off”
When Xie Yu walked out of school towards the bus stop, the school gates were nearly deserted
On the bus, he called Madam Gu, who happily said ”Sure, sure, sure,” on the other end of the line
Then Madaood tiry? What do you want to eat when you get back?”
”It was fine Just as expected,” Xie Yu said ”Anything is fine”
When Xie Yu hung up he realized that He Zhao practically never went home on weekends
He Zhao's mother was overseas but Xie Yu had never heard He Zhao nanimous did a parent have to be to not be worried when their child got grades like He Zhao's?
Xie Yu kept thinking about it, then sent a text to He Zhao who should have finished his shower by now Are you done showering?
He Zhao replied very quickly:
No
It won't go dohile I'ot to the station before He Zhao finished his shower He toweled his hair dry while calling Xie Yu ”Are you hoot off the bus and said as he walked, ”You sure take long showers”
He Zhao laughed quietly ”M, Xie Yu asked, ”You aren't going hoo ho the cap off a pen with his teeth He flipped open a textbook and said, ”My dad is overseas for work He's rarely home”
”He doesn't worry about you?”
”It's not that he doesn't worry He just wants me to think about it for myself, and whatever I want to do, he won't stop ht his dad was someone hard to coh school exams, he had been allowed to do so Then when he stayed at ho school, his dad hadn't lectured him about it, either He had just done the cost-benefit analysis with He Zhao and then let him make his own decision
All he said was, ”He Zhao, your life is your own”
”I'm here Later”
”M up
Xie Yu stood in the doorway, leaning against the wall, and was tickled ”If I don't hang up, then are you not going to hang up?”
”I' up,” He Zhao said ”Go in”
Xie Yu had just entered and changed his shoes when Gu Xuelan pushed a plate of fruit into his hands She said gravely, ”Go and sit on the sofa and eat this Dinner will be ready soon”
The fruits were cut up neatly, several varieties arranged on a glass plate
Xie Yu speared two pieces with a toothpick and ate the her
Gu Xuelan cut up the vegetables, washed her hands, then turned and caught sight of Xie Yu's wrist accessory ”When did you get that?”
Xie Yu followed her eyes doard to his wrist He said, ”Ah, this… I got it on the class trip”
Gu Xuelan didn't think any more of it She knew Xie Yu better than anyone He didn't interact ht you a gold pendant but you didn't like wearing it, and when I put it around your neck you cried”
Xie Yu said nothing
Zhong Guofei had coether The dinner table was quiet, and Xie Yu had no interest in Mada Guofei about Madao upstairs
Gu Xuelan asked, ”Won't you eat some more?”
Xie Yu said, ”No need I'm full You all continue”
Soon, Xie Yu found that when he was alone he kept thinking about a certain idiot's excavator-piloting future
He had seen He Zhao's midterm papers It wasn't completely hopeless He Zhao had answered several questions correctly, the ones which Old Wu had gone over ht have caused hiht about it, then turned on his PC and opened a Word docue exa mock exam papers when a notification popped up on his phone screen
