Jing Huan feels as if he's bent.

In December, winter officially started in Manjusri, and snowflakes drifted all night, Jing Huan woke up to a thick layer of white.

Toward the end of the semester, the classroom was crowded, and those who hadn't come to class often in the past showed up, trying to make a dying attempt to win the professor's favor.

In the afternoon, Jing Huan was lying on his desk, with only one pair of eyes showing. The heating in the classroom seemed to be broken, and it wasn't warm at all. Students were coming in and out of the classroom, and the door was never closed, so the cold wind was blowing inside. Jing Huan was so cold that he didn't even take off his scarf.

Another boy greeted Jing Huan as he entered the back door, and Jing Huan blinked and gave a muffled "hmm".

After the man left, Lu Wenhao asked him, "Do you know this man?"

"Remember the face, forget the name." Jing Huan responded lazily.

"......" Lu Wenhao was speechless, "Then why are you still responding so naturally."

"Then what?" Jing Huan said, "It saves time."

That's true.

The door was pushed open again, Lu Wenhao shivered, he bumped Gao Zixiang's shoulder: "What are you doing? Always holding a cell phone."

"Single dogs like you don't understand," Gao Zixiang said cheerfully, "talking to my girlfriend."

"Get lost, old me is not a single dog." Lu Wenhao retorted him with an angry grunt.

Gao Zixiang said, "Why not?"

Lu Wenhao Head tilted: "I got back together with my wife! I'll go find her on vacation to face her."

Jing Huan turned his head their way, his posture unchanged: "Which one of your wives?"

"Still which wife, you don't know a ...... grass!" Lu Wenhao said halfway, and remembered that miserable past, angry to laugh, "Huanhuan, I have not provoked you recently, how you always every now and then mention that stupid demon!"

Jing Huan said, "You can't attack all sirens just because you've been tricked by them, you're being speciesist."

Lu Wenhao nods, "Yes, I'm going to map gun it now, send a human demon representative to beat me up if you can."

Jing Huan wasn't interested in being a representative of sirens, he stared at Lu Wenhao and gave a cold laugh.

"Real face base?" Gao Zixiang said, "You didn't meet a con man last time, so you're not going to do a fairy jump this time, right? Don't ask your brothers to save you, we won't go."

"Fuck off, just know how to curse me. Did I kill someone or set them on fire in my last life to meet you guys."

Lu Wenhao said, suddenly remembered something, thievishly came to Gao Zixiang's side, whispered a word.

Gao Zixiang listened to it, first stared, then happy, cursed: "Nervous ......"

Jing Huan frowns, "What are you talking about?"

"Forget it, kids don't listen." Gao Zixiang shook his head.

Jing Huan laughed, "Owe a beating? Speak up."

Gao Zixiang pretended inscrutably for a while, then crossed Lu Wenhao and came up: "Wenhao asked me for a movie, this guy is really bad, he's thinking of someone else before we even met."

Jing Huan: "......"

Lu Wenhao was furious, wanted to stop but did not stop, after being poked and prodded, he could only pretend to be lighthearted and coughed, "I'm not preparing in advance?"

"No way," Gao Zixiang said, "You've been in an online relationship so many times and you're still a virgin?"

"Grass, I've never had a face to face before." Lu Wenhao was stepped on and directly dragged the people around him down as well, "Why don't you say Huanhuan!"

Jing Huan inexplicably swept him a glance, "What's it got to do with dad?"

"He's been playing Niners for so many years, and he's still handsome," Lu Wenhao said, "but he's still a virgin, and he hasn't even kissed anyone!"

Gao Zixiang looked at him rarity: "Means you kissed?"

Lu Wenhao let out a laugh, "I kissed my junior high school classmate."

Gao Zixiang gave him a thumbs up, and the two gagged for a while, the topic having turned right onto the highway.

Constantly hearing his name, Jing Huan couldn't stand it, "Who told you I haven't kissed anyone?"

It was finally quiet around them.

A few seconds later, Lu Wenhao wrapped his arms around his neck, "What! Who did you kiss! Who stole your first time!"

Jing Huan froze before reacting to what he had said.

He pushed the man away in mock disgust, "That's not your concern."

"When you first enrolled in school, Zixiang said that you hadn't had a girlfriend, so it must have been a college thing ......" Lu Wenhao asked, "We're good buddies, so we can't hide this from each other. Say! Which little girl!"

Grass.

Jing Huan That's really hard to say.

Because the word "little girl" has nothing to do with that person.

Curious as hell, Lu Wenhao was about to ask a question when he suddenly caught a glimpse of something.

Then he acted as if he had discovered a new continent, "Holy shit! Huanhuan, your ears are red!"

Jing Huan: "......"

Jing Huan: "Shut up."

The two men questioned Jing Huan for the entire class, but Jing Huan didn't say another word, and he thought he was out of his mind to retort that sentence.

It was almost time for class to end when the cell phone in his pocket vibrated softly.

To:.

Jing Huan 🙂 ?

Toward: look at the door.

Jing Huan looked inexplicably at the small window on the door.

Xiang Huaizhi stood outside with his head hanging, and after a few seconds, he put away his cell phone and looked up, meeting Jing Huan's eyes.

The boy looked like he'd just slept in class, his eyelids drooping, dressed all in black and surrounded by a temperature cooler than the day's temperature.

Jing Huan couldn't take his eyes off of it.

"What are you looking at," Lu Wenhao followed his line of sight and looked out, then let out an 'ooh', "Xiang? He's waiting for someone outside our classroom? You guys have an appointment?"

Jing Huan said, "No appointment."

"Then who is he waiting for ...... " Lu Wenhao raised his hand and greeted Xiang Huaizhi, the other party nodded his head carelessly in response, Lu Wenhao tsked, "Xiang is so damn handsome. "

Wait for me.

Jing Huan uncomfortably withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to cough lustfully.

"Classes will be over soon, so I'll be going out to freeze again." Lu Wenhao said, reaching out and trying to probe into Jing Huan's pocket, "Warm my hands, Huanhuan."

Jing Huan gave a jolt and gently slapped him on the back of his hand.

Both of them froze.

Lu Wenhao: "?"

"Not offering this business anymore." Jing Huan said calmly with his hands in his pockets, resuming his usual expression.

After class, Jing Huan dropped a piece of gum into his mouth, closed his textbook, and was just about to get up when he saw that someone was faster than him.

Even in winter, there were still many girls in the classroom wearing skirts, and although they were all wrapped in stockings underneath, the light, flowing hemlines would still be a sight to behold.

The girl's skirt swayed with the end of her hair, her small steps were expectant and nervous, and she ran toward the door toward Huaizhi with a smile at the corner of her mouth.

"......" Jing Huan action paused, his lips slightly parted, but finally he could not help but ask, "Who was that?"

Lu Wenhao is chatting with the game wife, sniffed and froze: "Ah? Which ...... Oh, she ah, called Liang Mengjia, seems to be a quite famous model, I heard that in the future will also debut. This semester did not come to class is because to find a professional class teacher."

Jing Huan only asked subconsciously, not realizing that Lu Wenhao actually knew so much.

Gao Zixiang said, "Liang Mengjia seems to have chased after Huaizhi."

Jing Huan footsteps down, "You know all this ......"

"It's quite a big deal, it's rumored to be a confession of love in a KTV room." Gao Zixiang said, "Should we go and say hello to Xiang? Will it disturb others ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, Jing Huan was already heading for the door with his hands in his pockets and his textbook clutched loosely in one arm.

Hearing the commotion inside, Xiang Huaizhi dropped his cell phone into his pocket and took a slight step back so as not to get in the way of the others.

He was about to move back as the girl ran up to him when he heard the girl softly call out to him, "Senior Xiang."

Jing Huan walks behind the door, chewing gum a few beats slower.

Grass ......

The girl is still a lolita.

Pure, no vocoder, and it doesn't sound intentionally modified.

To Huaizhi, he gave a slight lurch, then said, "What is it."

"It's been a long time." The girl raised her eyes to look at him, and although she tried to hide it deliberately, those emotions in her eyes that were hard to suppress betrayed her.

I don't actually remember her from Huaizhi.

"We met at the KTV early last year." The girl handed him a small kraft paper bag with a cute Santa Claus drawn on it, "Christmas is coming, this ...... Christmas gift."

Xiang Huaizhi remembered that the lighting in the box was so dim that he didn't even see the girl's features.

He scanned the paper bag and then looked up to see Jing Huan standing behind the girls.

Jing Huan has two strands of hair gently sticking out of his head that look like they were accidentally crushed while he was lying on his back, and the gum is blown up in a bubble that bursts the moment he meets his eyes before being slowly contained back by its owner.

It was as if the word "upset" was written on the side of his head.

Taking her eyes back toward Huaizhi, she said, "Thank you."

The girl's heart was glad--

"But sorry," said Huaizhi, "I have a girlfriend."

The voice to Huaizhi was not too loud, and Jing Huan could hear it.

The girl froze for a moment, then retracted her gift in embarrassment, "Ah, it's not ...... I just wanted to give you a gift, nothing else."

To Huaizhi refused: "No."

"She ......" the girl gritted her teeth, "Your girlfriend doesn't know anyway ......"

I don't know how, but I suddenly laughed a little.

"He knows." Said to Huaizhi.

How Liang Mengjia had gotten away, Jing Huan didn't know; when he looked back, Xiang Huaizhi was already walking toward him, then raised his hand and pressed down on his hair.

"Sleeping in class?" Asked Huaizhi.

"After lying down for a while," Jing Huan said slowly, re-chewing his gum, then said, "didn't you go to sleep, too?"

To Huaizhi, "Uh-huh", "I didn't sleep well last night."

Jing Huan said, this is not a coincidence.

He hadn't slept much since the kiss between the stairs that day.

He dreamed about Huaizhi for several days in a row.

Some of the dreams were so simple that he could not remember the content clearly, only the face and expression to Huaizhi.

Some dreams are just fucking ...... a bit much.

"Xiang," Gao Zixiang walked out wearing headphones, "you have a class in our building today?"

Toward Huaizhi withdraws his hand, "Uh-huh."

"Why isn't Lu here?" Lu Wenhao looked around.

"He skipped." Glancing to Huaizhi at his watch, he asked, as if unintentionally, "You guys going to dinner?"

"Yeah, there's chopped pepper fish head for sale in the cafeteria today." Lu Wenhao, just as if he had rehearsed it, naturally asked, "Brother Xiang, do you want to go together?"

On the way to the cafeteria, Jing Huan worried all the way, afraid that Lu Wenhao and the others would see something.

Then he realized that he was overthinking it, both of his housemates were quite busy, one was busy chatting with his girlfriend and the other was busy chatting with his gaming wife, they didn't even lift their heads.

He didn't do anything out of line with Huaizhi, and even at dinner, he only occasionally struck up a few conversations with Lu Wenhao.

Jing Huan felt grateful and at the same time, there was a little bit of indescribable emotion.

How.

Not very energized.

After a few seconds, he looked down and took a sharp sip of his soup, swallowing back all of these jumbled thoughts.

Halfway through the meal, a small window in the cafeteria quietly opened, and Lu Wenhao suddenly shook as he ate, followed by a sharp tap on Gao Zixiang's shoulder.

"Do you fucking ...... want to murder old me?" Gao Zixiang was stuck with a mouthful of rice.

"Window 12 is open!" Lu Wenhao said.

Window 12 is a special window in their cafeteria that sells Kanto boiled food with delicious sauce at a cheap price, but it opens at irregular hours, sometimes two days a week, sometimes not even once a month. Recently, it's been the latter, which is why Lu Wenhao was so excited when he saw it.

Half a minute later, Jing Huan and Xiang Huaizhi were the only ones left at the table, while the other two were in line for the kanto boiled food.

Jing Huan jabbed at the rice, glancing at the plate of the person next to him.

"When are your exams?" The man who had been speaking little suddenly put down his chopsticks and asked.

Jing Huan froze and said, "I finished the exam on January 7th."

So early.

Frowning very lightly at Huaizhi, she asked again, "When are you going back?"

"It's not finalized," Jing Huan said, "What's wrong?"

"Can we meet up for winter break."

Jing Huan chopsticks.

It's actually quite normal to see friends over winter break, and he goes back every year to get together with his former friends.

Thinking this way, Jing Huan became less awkward as he turned his head and said in as natural a tone as he could, "That's fine, but the Spring Festival is early this year, so I may not be able to go out of town ......"

"I came to you." Said to Huaizhi.

"......" Jing Huan said, "How troublesome that would be."

"Where is your house?"

"It's right in Full City, a couple hours drive to school."

Smiling a little to Huaizhi, "Me too."

So it was settled.

After that he said nothing to Huaizhi, and before leaving, he bought something from the mini-mart in the cafeteria.

"I have some errands to run off campus, so you guys go back." He said.

Lu Wenhao froze, "Since we're going off campus, what's the point of eating in the cafeteria ...... outside the snack street it doesn't smell good?"

"Doesn't smell good." Said to Huaizhi.

Before he left, he took a box of yogurt out of his pocket and shoved it into Jing Huan's hand when they weren't looking.

On the way back, Jing Huan wore his hat and kept his head down, looking at the ground the whole way.

Lu Wenhao came up and asked him, "Huanhuan, what are you thinking about."

Jing Huan didn't raise his head, "I don't know."

"?"

I don't know how far I've traveled, but Jing Huan suddenly turned his head and called out, "Zixiang."

Gao Zixiang put down his cell phone, "Ah."

"See you over winter break?"

"......" Gao Zixiang was blindsided for a moment, "Don't I go to your house every year to pay my respects?"

Jing Huan stared at him for a while.

Then he said, "It's okay," and turned around and walked away.

Gao Zixiang : "......"

Gao Zixiang: "What's he doing?"

Lu Wenhao shrugged, "Don't guess what's in Huanhuan's mind."

Jing Huan walked ahead, his face full of puzzlement.

Obviously they're all friends, obviously they're all going to see each other over winter break ......

Why is it so strange to change the subject to Huaizhi?

He couldn't describe the feeling, it just felt ......

It's like this winter vacation is different than the last ten or so.

-

Back home, Jing Huan sucked on her yogurt and sat down in front of her computer.

Jing Huan logged on to the game, his heart was naturally not there, he thought about it and decided to go to the house first to take his tonic for the day.

[User: Drinking this ice-sugar bird's nest, the little master moved and seemed to be very happy ^^]

Crap.

For a couple bucks a serving, can you not be happy?

His old man wouldn't even eat it.

Jing Huan finished his bellyaching and opened his calendar to see that the baby would be born tomorrow.

He hesitated for a moment and found his favorite web page, the keywords of which were all "Qiya Mountain Baby Parenting Tips".

He was just about to click on it when he saw a loudspeaker swipe out from the bottom of the game.

[Kang film +V → 99992LM: ⑤ leaf excitement ↑ love to see the film, + + + nest, Europe and the United States, stampo, Chinese subtitles at your disposal + + +]

There have always been a lot of small advertisements in Nine Warriors, but they are usually posted in less than half a second before the system automatically harmonizes them.

But this one floated below the game for a full ten seconds without disappearing.

[World] Star in the Sky: OK, sells movies in the world of relationship stoners.

Where's the [World]Old Lady's Crystal Shoes:@GM Come out to work.

[World] Midnight Murder 0: This guy sells a pretty high quality movie.

Normally, Jing Huan wouldn't even look at it, and would probably report it.

But today ......

He lowered his eyes, his vision locked on this little trumpet.

He's been having some messed up dreams for a while, is it because he's been holding them in too long?

At nineteen or twenty, it's really easy to get fired up. He felt like he had no place to put his energy the first few times he played ......

Two minutes later, Jing Huan opened WeChat, identified his junior high school roommate who had been an avid movie watcher, and told him what he wanted to do.

The other party didn't say a word and directly passed him a file package.

It was getting dark, the streetlights were already lit up, the lights were off in the room, the curtains were closed, and only the computer screen glowed faintly.

The atmosphere is just right.

Jing Huan propped his hand on the back of his head as he clicked on the file sent by his friend.

The videos were bad enough just for the covers, and he clicked on them one by one, from top to bottom.

This one is too ugly.

This one's too old.

This one doesn't have breasts as big as his.

...... This chest is too big.

Dozens of videos, none of which lasted more than two minutes.

A moment later, Jing Huan moved his fingers expressionlessly, deleted the file, and then opened his friend's chat screen.

Jing Huan Yikes: I'm just raiding here.

Friends:?

Jing Huan 🙂 Yikes: I didn't realize you actually had it.

Jing Huan 🙂 Yikes: I've already reported it.

Jing Huan 🙂 Yikes: your number's gone.

Jing Huan yah: [please come with me.jpg]

Friends: ......

BEST FRIEND: Jing Huan your mom, I'll kill you.

Jing Huan covered his mouth and laughed half a day, and when he laughed, his smile became bitter.

Fuck you.

I'm not here to find passion.

Why are you smiling like an idiot here ......

It's no fun.

It's so pointless.

He lay flat on his back, pinching his cell phone and scrolling through his Twitter feed. As sleep came on, Jing Huan yawned and wondered if he should just go to bed.

Ding.

Toward: I'm in the dormitory.

Jing Huan sat up from the bed with a "miso".

Jing Huan 🙂 Yikes: oh.

Toward: going to sleep?

Jing Huan 🙂 Yikes: no.

Toward: playing games?

Jing Huan 🙂 Yikes: oh.

Jing Huan 🙂 Yikes: okay.

Jing Huan Yay: I'm getting up.

Jing Huan sends three messages in a row to try not to look too impatient, then rushes out of bed.

Heart to Heart had appeared at the house and was now standing next to the Users in what looked like a conversation.

"What are you doing?" Jing Huan asked.

"Put in the tonic."

"Don't put it on! I'm having a baby tomorrow--"

Fuck.

Jing Huan said it before he felt it was wrong.

Xiang Huaizhi paused, looked back at the man singing in the bathroom, and said half-heartedly, "Turn off the voice changer."

"Ah, why."

"No one else is."

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to turn it off." Jing Huan said.

Don't you just love voice changers.

Pretending to listen to you, and you're still not happy about it.

Say to Huaizhi, "I want to hear your voice."

"......"

Half a minute later, the boy's clear, clean voice came in, "It's off."

Huaizhi tugged very lightly at his lips before moving his fingers and tossing the children's book he was carrying to little Tian Jing.

Jing Huan froze, "What's this?"

"For raising Fox Fairy Cave children." Say to Huaizhi, "I've written the plan, you feed it."

Before Jing Huan had a chance to say anything, he passed a document to Huaizhi.

He has not seen the strategy, this time he looked for a lot of strategies, most of the famous ones have been saved, this should be to Huaizhi himself to draw up.

Kids raised on their own schedule, that's definitely a little more pleasing to the eye.

Jing Huan thought about it and saved the strategy.

Xiao Tian Jing was pregnant and could not do many activities. Xiang Huaizhi teamed up to take him and wandered around the main city like he was looking at stalls.

Although he didn't do anything, Jing Huan didn't feel bored anymore.

He stared at the game for most of the day until a friend request popped up on the WeChat interface and he came back to his senses.

Friendship application: [Jing Huan Hello, I'm Liang Mengjia from my class.]

Jing Huan's fingertips gave a half-hearted nod to pass.

Liang Mengjia: Excuse me.

Liang Mengjia ：...... I should not add the wrong person, right?

This avatar, this name, except for the word "Jing", the rest does not match with the sunny and handsome boys in the class at all.

Liang Mengjia initially suspected that his friend had given him the wrong WeChat.

Jing Huan 🙂 Yikes: didn't add the wrong one.

Liang Mengjia: Oh, oh, that's good.

A few minutes later.

Liang Mengjia : ...... Are you still there?

Jing Huan 🙂 Yikes: in.

Liang Mengjia: ......

Liang Mengjia: I actually wanted to ask you for a favor [face covered].

Jing Huan 🙂 Yikes: said.

Liang Mengjia: I saw you chatting with Xiang Huaizhi today, do you know each other well?

Uncooked.

And just two kisses.

Jing Huan 🙂 Yikes: it's okay.

Liang Mengjia ：Oh-oh，it's not a big deal，I just want to have his wechat，can I?

Liang Mengjia: Are you still there?

Jing Huan had his hands on the keyboard and didn't reply.

At this point, he has Liang Mengjia's chat box on the left side of his screen and a baby parenting plan sent to Huaizhi on the right.

Jing Huan was just about to type when he suddenly saw a certain small line on the form.

The font is very small and on the last line of the parenting plan.

It reads: Little Xiang Jing Foster Book.

"......"

Liang Mengjia: ? _?

Jing Huan 🙂 Yikes: in.

Jing Huan Yay: It's inconvenient, isn't it? He's got a girlfriend.

Liang Mengjia ：I have also inquired about this, everyone said no ...... do you know who his girlfriend is?

Jing Huan yah: know.

Liang Mengjia: Who?

Me.

Jing Huan typed out this word and then delayed sending it.

A few minutes later, he closed Liang Mengjia's dialog box, deleting the person in the process.

Cut back to the game, only to find Xiang Huaizhi holding him in a Christmas duo.

To cut into an active battle, all teammates must tap down to agree.

Jing Huan was stunned and hurriedly clicked agree, and after entering the battle page, he asked, "I was just looking at something else ...... Why didn't you call me."

"Afraid you'll fall asleep." Said to Huaizhi.

Winter nights are quiet, without the sound of cicadas or the whispers of pedestrians.

So at this moment, Jing Huan could hear his heart beating very clearly, rapid and strong, beating faster than when he was with anyone else.

After the battle, Jing Huan breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair.

After a few seconds, he raised his hand and slowly covered his eyes.

Jing Huan felt as if he was bent.

He seems to have taken a liking to Huaizhi.
