--You too, right?

On Friday morning, during the third period, shortly after the bell rang, the hallway was filled with students coming out to do some activities. Lin Jian was putting his notebook away when a student at the door suddenly shouted into the classroom, "God Lin, someone is looking for me!"

All at once the eyes in the classroom converged on the last row.

"Geez, it's only been two weeks since the start of the school year, how many waves has it been?" Gao Chongfan turned back to Lin Jian and threw him a look that said "I know what you're talking about", "Why is there such a big difference between the same freshmen, and why doesn't anyone want to get acquainted with me every once in a while?"

Zhou Yan chimed in and joked, "What, envious?"

"Ha!" Gao Chongfan thumped his chest, "I'm tired of saying the word "envy"!"

Lin Jian has long been immune to these two living treasures' comic dialogues, snapped on the cap of his fountain pen, and walked out of the classroom without a word.

No matter who was looking for him outside the classroom, with so many students watching, Lin Jian wouldn't have ignored him coldly, that would have left too much to chance--

If it's a girl, it's even more inappropriate.

But I didn't expect that it was Ai Jia again who led the search.

Seeing Lin Jian come out, Ai Jia seemed to be secretly relieved and relaxed, and asked with a smile, "God Lin, how many of us will go out to eat at noon, together?"

Behind Ai Jia stood two other girls, one with medium-length hair, wearing a blue and white striped dress, always with her eyes slightly downcast, and the other with a fresh ponytail, obediently wearing a school uniform dress, looking slightly nervous, as if she was a little embarrassed, with her eyes fluttering without a place to look, and inadvertently raised her eyes to collide with Lin Jian's, and then quickly moved away.

"No." Lin Jian smiled very lightly, "Noon is too short, and I have to prepare for the first afternoon class to warm up, so I won't be there."

"You're number one in age, what else do you need to study for?" Ai Jia's showy and pretty eyebrows wrinkled slightly as she reached out and tugged at the girl on her left who was wearing a school uniform skirt, muttering in a low voice, "You've been called out, so fight for it, girl!"

That girl was her so unobtrusive a reminder, originally fluttering line of sight more do not know where to fall, half a long time, only as if to drum up the courage to raise his head, with a very light voice to Lin Jian said: "No, not far away, just in the school across the street of that Hong Kong-style teahouse, his family food is also very fast, no ... ...It won't take you a long time ...... Lin, Lin Jian classmates, let's go together ......" The words were not yet finished, and his face had already turned red.

Such a blatant heart, anyone can see, I thought it would be Lin Jian hard to reject, I did not expect the opposite side of the boy just quietly think for a few seconds, as if there is really in the consideration of the general, and only then raised his eyes, and then very shallowly smiled at her, and said, "Thank you, but really do not need to, next time if there is an opportunity, I invited Ai Jia sister dinner. Everyone can come along if it's convenient."

As soon as the words fell out of her mouth, Ai Jia gave a very over-reactionary "Ai! Ai Jia let out a cry and rushed over in a panic, almost going to cover Lin Jian's mouth, but fortunately Lin Jian's reaction was faster to avoid it, "You're in school, why are you shouting at me!"

The corner of Lin Jian's eyes curved slightly, holding Ai Jia's wrist with his index and middle fingers, he leaned down and whispered, "Then don't help your classmates to find me for a dinner date in the future, and stop for a couple of days?"

Ai Jia squeezes out an airy voice: "...... Sold!"

Lin Jian nonchalantly let go of his hand, took a step back, nodded at them, and turned to go back to his class.

Once again the dinner date failed, the three girls headed to their own class, class 12 was on the third floor, when they were going up the stairs, the girl with medium-length hair couldn't help but be curious and asked Ai Jia: "Jia Jia, just now I seem to have heard ...... Lin Jian calling you... . sister?"

Ai Jia's face couldn't help but stiffen, Lin Jian's relationship with the Shen family, and her own relationship, she had never told anyone, and she didn't want anyone to know. Ai Jia has always felt that those past entanglements between Lin Jian and the Shen family belong to his personal privacy, and if he doesn't tell them, then no one has the right to shout them out.

Ai Jia paused but two seconds, then waved his hand naturally, exaggerated: "Joking, a middle school called my sister's people are still less? Four streets in the southeast, northwest and north, ask who is the father, shouting sister is nothing, yesterday, the senior two that stupid big individual special not also shouted me a 'aunt grandmother'?"

The girl walking on the other side with the ponytail couldn't hold back her laughter.

Ai Jia converged her smile and lamented, "But the person didn't make the appointment for you, I'm sorry ah Yue Yue."

Cheng Yue, who was wearing a ponytail, smiled coyly and said softly, "It's okay, I didn't have much hope in the first place, and ......" the girl paused and let out a breath with some relief, "Lin Jian and I imagined is not quite the same."

"I originally thought that a cold looking boy like him would reject others in that same unforgiving way, but ......" Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Although it was very dry and didn't drag on, it was probably the can imagine, the gentlest rejection."

Cold fir bamboo like boys, the whole body is permeated with an ineffable sense of cold, but on the contrary, in the face of the girl's show of goodwill, silently convergence of their own overflowing ice-cold temperament, with the softest way to give the other side to leave enough room and decency.

Cheng Yue said - Cold on the outside, warm on the inside, Lin Jian is really a very good person.

Ai Jia's footsteps on the stairs gave a slight lurch, and inexplicably, the figure of another person surfaced at the bottom of his heart.

Presumably ...... really who brings up kids who look like who?

In that case, Lin Jian and that man really look alike.

At lunch time, Lin Jian took his lunchbox from the convenience store to the small park as usual. There was nothing new in school today that was worth sharing with Shen Ke, so he finished his lunch quickly, threw away the empty lunch box, and was about to take a short break by bringing his U-shaped pillow, when he suddenly heard a considerable commotion coming from the Tengxiang acacia forest behind him.

Vulgar and unpleasant grunts and curses were interspersed with the muffled sounds of fists and feet to the flesh.

The originally peaceful lunch break was abruptly broken, Lin Jian did not want to meddle in the matter, got up from the bench, ready to go back to the classroom to make do with lying down for a while, but just took two steps, and fiercely heard a low, hoarse voice, caricaturedly laughing: "Senior class (1), right? Already knowing which class you're in, how hard can it be to find where you live?"

And then is a voice that is not considered familiar, but also not unfamiliar, sneering and laughing and cursing, "Then you guys action can be fast, it is best to catch up before my injuries are good today, or the next time I see you again ...... may be to give you burned paper."

"Damn, dead faggot, mouth is tougher than a few, no tears until you see the coffin!"

Sporadic exchanges of blows ensue, and Lin Jian is silent for a second with his eyelids downcast as he turns and walks into the woods.

Not far away in the corner, a few young men were holding a boy down on the ground, and seeing that the foot of one of the men next to him was about to kick the boy on the left side of his face, Lin Jian frowned and shouted, "Hey."

As if a pantomime had suddenly been pressed to pause, a few people's movements stalled and they all turned their heads to look over, even Xu Yang was clearly out of his depth, his eyes widening slightly when he saw Lin Jian.

"What are you doing?" A yellow-haired man holding Xu Yang's arm yelled, "Get out of here, I won't be responsible if you get hurt!"

Lin Jian took out his cell phone from his pocket, clicked on the camera, the lens on a few people, calmly walked over, while walking, said: "A minute ago I reported to the police, the precinct police station is less than a kilometer from this district, according to the speed of the police in the five minutes or so, and now it has been two minutes, the remaining three minutes, you are the first to run, or to stay with me and I'm going to the police to see the physical evidence?"

After saying this, Lin Jian had already walked to the side of the crowd, taking advantage of the lapse of concentration of a few people, he suddenly yanked up Xu Yang on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Run!"

Xu Yang reacted quickly at this moment, not caring about the vague pain coming from his body, he used Lin Jian's strength to scramble up from the ground, and both of them ran towards the residential area almost at the same time!

Behind the gang of punks finally reacted, some people screamed and cursed, some people behind them chased a small half of the road, but this residential area belongs to the typical "old and small", residential buildings are densely and intricately organized, turned two rows of buildings, people were Lin Jian they got rid of.

But the two still do not dare to be careless, and deeper into the neighborhood ran a section, Xu Yang at this time the pain is a bit unable to bear, while running panting asked: "Hey! You did not call the police, we still, still need to run so ah!"

Lin Jian quickly glanced at him, quickly running in the eyes cast sharp with the wind: "You and the gang is equivalent to the IQ, why still have to get you dead and alive, hand words happy more good."

"...... Shit!" Xu Yang realized that he really couldn't run any more, and violently stopped his footsteps, stumbling two steps forward under inertia, and was quickly yanked by Lin Jian by the back of his shirt collar.

"No more running no more running ......" Xu Yang crossed her arms with one hand and waved her other hand with little regularity, "Not being killed, running yourself out of breath is much, much fucking worthless... ..."

Lin Jian also stopped, slightly gasping, and gave him a complicated look.

When Xu Yang had finally caught her breath, Lin Jian took two steps over and asked in a calm voice, "Do you need to go to the hospital?"

Xu Yang straightened up his waist, grinned and patted the dirt on his body, and shook his head in mixed unconcern, "No need, this just where with which ah - hiss ...... ankle seems to have been wrenched a bit... ..."

Lin Jian frowned slightly and asked, "They fought?"

"Just ran."

"......"

Xu Yang moved her left ankle in situ, feeling that the pain was still within tolerance, it should be due to the two steps that she stumbled just now, and then she looked up to see Lin Jian's expression, and after a pause, she couldn't hold back the "giggle" and laughed.

"Hey deskmate ...... thank you for today!" Xu Yang was very familiar with herself and stretched out an arm towards Lin Jian, "I couldn't tell, I had always thought that you were just a pure school bully, but today I realized that you are also a school bully who loves to see righteousness and courage, and you are also a school bully whose double quotient is very online - thick, thick, thick, thick, thick, thick, thick, thick, thick, thick, thick, thick, thick, thick, thick, thick! This table filter is thick again!"

Lin Jian said, "How come they didn't happen to mute you just now?

Seeing Lin Jian standing still, Xu Yang finally put away his joking demeanor and stretched out an arm to Lin Jian, saying pitifully, "Okay, okay, I'm not going to tease you, but you're good to the end of the table, my home is in the front of the building, be tired to take a ride, I'm in such a miserable state, it's really a little bit of a struggle to go up the stairs on my own."

Lin Jian stood in place for two seconds, but in the end, he said nothing, holding onto one of Xu Yang's arms and slowly walking over to the front row of residential buildings.

Not too far away, the two men had their own thoughts and neither spoke.

Lin Jian is now wondering, the day of the opening of the school heard Zhou Yan gossip, Xu Yang obviously belongs to the family conditions are very unusual kind of students, this kind of family grows up in the child, and how will be and social punks entangled? And ...... Lin Jian remembered the day of the report Xu Yang back that shoulder bag, very inconspicuous style, but a very niche luxury limited edition, can be such a bag as a backpack students, it is reasonable that should not be and the immediate "old raggedy little" residential buildings have any connection. The student who can carry such a bag should not have any connection with the "old and dilapidated" residential building in front of him.

After a moment of silence, Xu Yang suddenly remembered something and asked in a low voice, "Hey, you really didn't call the police just now?"

Lin Jian looked at him with no expression and asked rhetorically, "Reported it, and then had the police go to Ran's office to find you to make a statement?"

Xu Yang froze, suddenly laughed when he understood, his eyes uncontrollably looked Lin Jian up and down once, with a little probing meaning, "...... I found out that you're quite an interesting person."

Lin Jian said nothing, stood in front of a residential building and asked, "How many units?"

"Unit two, 202."

Upstairs, Xu Yang struggled to find the key to open the door, Lin Jian felt that he had already done enough to meddle in today's affairs, but standing at the door, Xu Yang unexpectedly and rarely turned her head seriously and said: "Usually I live alone, if you don't mind, come in and have a seat, have a glass of water, at least don't make me owe you such a big favor, don't you? "

As if turning his head away at this moment is a confirmation of the word "dislike", Lin Jian quite helplessly looked at him for two seconds, did not say anything, holding the door to let him enter the house first, and then he himself entered the house and closed the door behind him.

The house is a typical old neighborhood in the middle of the household, one bedroom, one hall, one kitchen and one bathroom structure, very surprisingly, the furnishings in the house is simple and rustic, it is a long time ago the wooden decoration style, and it looks like there are already some traces of age.

There is only a sofa and a coffee table in the living room, Xu Yang entered the house really first limped and poured a cup of water over, put it on the coffee table, and then pointed to the sofa, and said to Lin Jian, "You sit for a while, I will go to take a shower ...... Damn this group of grandchildren, make me all over the sand. "

Lin Jian was looking from the glass of water to Xu Yang's body, looking at his footprints in varying shades of color, and asked, "Can you wash it?"

"It's fine." Xu Yang went to the room to turn out a clean clothes, tone full of concern, "no bleeding place, those people do not dare, it is just swelling two days."

Lin Jian didn't say anything and didn't drink the glass of water that was sitting in front of him, just took out his cell phone to check the time while Xu Yang went to take a shower.

It was already 12:30 p.m., an hour and forty minutes before the first class of the afternoon.

Xu Yang took a quick shower, and after probably less than five minutes, she came out of the bathroom changed and wiped her hair, with a refreshing vapor.

He first went to the water fountain where he received a cup of water, walked back to the sofa side when he saw the cup of water on the coffee table did not move, first froze, and then slightly raised his eyebrows, like a playful look at Lin Jian a glance, the tone of voice suddenly became a bit mocking: "What's the matter, don't dare to drink ah?"

"Huh?" Lin Jian didn't react for a moment.

Xu Yang grumpily sat down next to him and grunted, "Don't worry, gays aren't all 'dirty', I'm not sick, and my cup is clean."

Lin Jian first froze for two seconds, and after realizing the meaning of his words, his heart suddenly felt as if he had been stabbed, and a trace of unspeakable sharpness and discomfort flared up.

--In fact, he didn't touch the glass of water, merely maintaining the courtesy of being a guest for the first time.

However, Lin Jian didn't say anything after all, just picked up the cup and took a sip of water calmly.

"Overthink it."

When she put down the glass of water, Xu Yang's eyes clearly changed, the sourness and wariness that seemed to come out of nowhere just now suddenly disappeared, and the ends of her eyes abruptly curved, and her eyes brightened up again.

Lin Jian scanned him and asked in a faint voice, "You really don't need to go to the hospital?"

"No need." Xu Yang had a little smile at the corner of her mouth, "I got used to it a long time ago."

Lin Jian frowned imperceptibly.

Used to? Used to what? Is it this inexplicable fisticuffs, or is it getting used to having injuries internalize themselves?

Xu Yang was quiet for a moment as she held her glass of water, then suddenly said, "But I really didn't expect that you would do me a favor today."

Lin Jian, in a flat tone, recounting the facts, replied, "In another classmate's place, I would have helped, too, and it had nothing to do with who it was."

"Wow... ......" Xu Yang placed the water cup on the coffee table, then clapped her hands and praised him, "Dare I say it was God Lin's chivalry that saved my dog's life... I thought... ..."

Lin Jian lifted his eyes, his eyes fell flat and straight on his brow, and asked in a faint voice, "Why?"

Xu Yang : "Thought it was a sympathy of fellow travelers."

"......" Lin Jian suddenly reticent, just before the heart of the unspeakable discomfort once again rolled back, and raging, just a few seconds swept through the lungs, "What do you mean? "

"Don't pretend, God Lin, it's best for one's own people to look at one's own people." Xu Yang's eyes contained a little bit of obvious mirth, his eyes roaming an inch over Lin Jian's face, suddenly asking with certainty.

"So are you."

At that moment, Lin Jian's grip on the glass of water tightened abruptly.

On the day of the report, his mind suddenly recalled the three words Zhou Yan had said with a false accent while gossiping about Xu Yang's past experiences.

-You, too.

What is it?

Homosexuality.
