Chapter 48 The First Experience of Love
Chapter 48 The First Experience of Love
Xia Jianjing went home with Lu Zai, and was urged by Rui Su to soak his feet as soon as he entered the door.
Rui Su boiled a large bucket of water for them, and soaked some Chinese herbal medicines for relieving fatigue and relieving stress. Soaking their feet at night is also good for sleep.
Rui Su now devotes herself to taking care of her two children, making recipes and physiotherapy every day.Although it took a lot of effort, she enjoyed it, as if she had found the value of life.
In addition, Xia Jianjing is currently preparing for the exam, and the pressure is comparable to that of senior high school students. Rui Su and Qin Hongyang are closely following him, and the logistics support is quite in place.
Xia Jianjing threw her schoolbag to Lu Zai, then bent down and half-dragged and half-carried the foot bath bucket into the small bathroom in Lu Zai's bedroom.
Rui Su bought a new foot bath today. It is made of wood, as high as Xia Jianjing's calf, big and deep, and filled with water.He is such a vigorous half-sized guy, it took a lot of effort to carry it in.
Xia Jianjing put the barrel on the ground with a "boom", straightened up and let out a breath, then pointed his head outside and shouted: "Grandma, please stop watching health programs, they are all deceptive and useless."
Rui Su responded with a smile in the living room: "Nonsense, how good is "The Road to Health"? I'll fry okra for you tomorrow. Experts say it's good for your stomach."
Xia Jianjing couldn't persuade Rui Su, so she raised her head and curled her lips at Lu Zai, and whispered, "This thing is so heavy, my arm is almost broken, and I don't know how grandma made it out."
Lu Zai stacked two schoolbags on the chair, then walked over, flicked Xia Jianjing's head with a sneer, and said, "Let's go."
Lu Zai pulled down his trousers, squatted down, supported the side of the barrel with one hand, and reached to the bottom with the other to dig out.
Then there was a "click", and I don't know what mechanism Lu Zai caught, and two universal wheels popped out from below.
Lu Zai tried to push the barrel, it was very easy.
He stood up and clapped his hands, squinting at Xia Jianjing and asked, "Are you a stupid dog?"
"It's fine to be an annoying dog, why have you become a stupid dog again?" Xia Jianjing snorted twice, very dissatisfied, "You know there are wheels under the ground and you don't tell me, just watch me move in. Not enough friends."
Lu Zai looked at him and smiled, raised his hand and pinched the back of his neck, "Stop talking nonsense, bring a stool over to soak your feet."
Xia Jianjing was reluctantly ordered by Lu Zai, and went to the living room to move two small blocks.Seeing that Rui Su was still watching Li Yuanchun on the sofa, he said, "Grandma, it's past ten o'clock, aren't you going to sleep?"
"Go to sleep after listening to this piece of "Suolin Sac." Rui Su smiled and adjusted her reading glasses, waved her hand at Xia Jianjing, and said, "Don't worry about me, go soak your feet and go to bed early."
Xia Jianjing said, "Okay then, good night, grandma."
When Xia Jianjing returned to the room, Lu Zai had just finished brushing his teeth and was standing by the sink rinsing a cup.
Xia Jianjing walked over, threw the short pier to Lu Zai's feet, and hummed, "Soak your feet!"
Lu Zai raised his eyebrows to look at him, straightened the short pier, sat on it and straightened his legs, then bent down|to roll up his trouser legs.
The light in the bathroom is warm yellow, and Lu Zai's skin is cold and fair. Under the light, it looks like a plaster statue used for sketching, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.
Following Lu Zai's movement of rolling his trouser legs, a pair of long legs were exposed|exposed to the air, the blue blood vessels under the skin were clearly visible, the muscles were well-proportioned, straight and slender.
Xia Jianjing looked at Lu Zai, his throat tightened, and he couldn't help swallowing.
Lu Zai went in to test the water temperature, looked up at Xia Jianjing and said, "It's ok."
Seeing Shang Luzai's expressionless face, Xia Jianjing was inexplicably flustered, and her heartbeat was messed up, beating gongs and drums indiscriminately like a bad Ansai boy.
Xia Jianjing choked for a moment and said, "Oh, good."
Xia Jianjing put his foot in in a daze, and before he stepped on it, he touched Lu Zai's foot. He shivered suddenly, and retracted involuntarily.
Lu Zai was splashed with brown drops of water on his legs. He frowned, raised his foot to step on Xia Jianjing's throbbing feet, and said, "Don't make trouble."
Xia Jianjing couldn't move, so he had to be stepped on by Lu Zai obediently.
The water temperature was still very hot, and with the nagging uses of the Chinese herbal medicines, Xia Jianjing's back was sweating in a short while.He looked like a shrimp about to be cooked, red from the feet to the sockets of the knees.
Xia Jianjing shrank his toes and said, "It's so hot."
Lu Zai said, "Be patient."
In fact, Lu Zai was not much better than him, and Lu Zai's skin was fairer and redder, and even his neck was covered with blush, but he lowered his eyes and his expression was cold and indifferent.The combination of the two has an indescribable allure.
Xia Jianjing felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, he licked the corner of his mouth, and then asked, "By the way, I found that the annotation you wrote for me was very useful. Gu Xinghai wanted to read it this afternoon, but I didn't give it to him."
"I wrote it for you," Lu Zai said, "it's useless for other people."
Lu Zai is not a particularly gifted student. He relies entirely on the solid basic skills of the previous ten years, coupled with practicality and comprehension, to achieve the current seemingly effortless state.
When Lu Zai read Xia Jianjing's textbook at noon, the barriers were very thick, and he struggled to read, but this did not affect his ability to order Xia Jianjing from the perspective of a bystander.After all, being a teacher is nothing more than preaching, teaching and resolving doubts. You don't need to have a background in a world-renowned school.
He is not proficient in physics, but he is familiar enough with Xia Jianjing.And he was more focused than the teacher, after all, he only cared about Xia Jianjing's problems alone.He only needs to read Xia Jianjing's mistakes a few times to understand which step Xia Jianjing made a mistake in and which knowledge point was missing.
After soaking his feet, Xia Jianjing went to put the little pier down, and Lu Zai went to pour the water. The two cooperated and divided the work, and it was over soon.
Lu Zai squatted under the desk, pulled out the storage box, and put two bottles of milk into his schoolbag.
Xia Jianjing said: "You can just give me one bottle directly, you can fill two bottles, not to mention, you have to take it to the cafeteria at noon, what a bother."
Lu Zai glanced at him and said, "I am willing."
Xia Jianjing spread his hands, he didn't argue with the milk sponsor, as long as Lu Zai was happy.
Xia Jianjing sat down at the desk, supported his head, and said yearningly: "I really want to participate in the training camp, I feel my blood is boiling, it must be very interesting."
Lu Zai finished his evening self-study. He stood up, stood behind Xia Jianjing, and said, "Then go."
"Gu Xinghai is definitely going to take up one of the spots, and there is only one left. I feel a little stressed." Xia Jianjing sighed, turned to look at Lu Zai, and said, "Our class is actually pretty strong. I used to be old. I thought I was number one in physics, but now I realize how shameless I am.”
Lu Zai laughed at him: "You know that too."
Lu Zai was standing with the backlight, and while smiling, he leaned over Xia Jianjing to get the book on the table.
Xia Jianjing looked up at him, and suddenly couldn't control the distance between Lu Zai and him.As soon as his eyes flickered, he felt that Lu Zai's thin and beautiful lips seemed to be close to his face, so close that it was like a kiss that was about to be released, and he couldn't help breathing in disorder.
Xia Jianjing's mind was like a hornet's nest stabbed by a brat, the irritable worker bees mobilized out of the nest, buzzing to start a revolution.
Xia Jianjing scratched his hair, and somehow asked directly.
Xia Jianjing said, "Brother Lu, are you gay?"
After Xia Jianjing finished speaking, he bit his lower lip, his eyes dodged.
He was so remorseful that he secretly scolded himself for being unrestrained, which ghost with a long tongue had possessed him, and what kind of question was he asking!
Lu Zai's back stiffened, and his face suddenly sank.He pursed his lips, stood up slowly, looked down at the floor for several seconds, and then raised his eyes to look at Xia Jianjing.
Xia Jianjing frowned slightly, completely different from his usual laughing and joking appearance, as if he was suddenly encouraged by the seedlings, and turned into a stern little adult.
Lu Zai didn't understand why Xia Jianjing suddenly asked such a question?Did you find something?
He looked into Xia Jianjing's eyes and unconsciously clenched his fists.It's hard for him to describe Xia Jianjing's expression at this moment, it's a little serious, but also a little... evasive?
Lu Zai's heart was in a panic, he thought, sure enough.
Lu Zai hooked the corners of his mouth as if mocking himself, then he turned around and said ruthlessly, "I'm not."
Xia Jianjing looked at Lu Zai's back, feeling aggrieved and frustrated, he said, "Oh."
Lu Zai paused when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, "You can rest assured."
ah?rest assured?
Why don't you care?
When Xia Jianjing heard Lu Zai's words, he shook his head blankly, and his tone inadvertently changed into the usual boyish voice again, "Brother Lu?"
Lu Zai couldn't see Xia Jianjing's expression, he just thought Xia Jianjing was relieved.
Lu Zai's chest was stuffy and swollen. He closed his eyes and said coldly, "Go read your book."
"Okay." Xia Jianjing said, "But..."
Before Xia Jianjing finished speaking, Lu Zai got into bed with his head covered.Lu Zai turned around, turned his back to Xia Jianjing, and made it clear that he didn't want to talk anymore.
What Lu Zai didn't want to do, Xia Jianjing didn't do anything, he pouted, turned around and lay down on the desk.
Lu Zai asked him to read the book, but he couldn't read it at all. The lines of words seemed to float off the paper, dismantling them into pieces by themselves. Even if Newton was reborn, he couldn't spell out whether he had written it or not. laws of mechanics.
Xia Jianjing held his chin, his brows twitched into a ball, worrying about the upcoming test, and he was still doing foreign work, and felt very uneasy; at the same time, he felt sad, thinking about Lu Zai, who was not gay, and himself who seemed to be gay.
Xia Jianjing closed the book, lowered his head as if giving up, and knocked his head on the desk with a "boom".He didn't cry out for pain, just buried his face and didn't move.
Xia Jianjing's absent-minded state lasted for several days, even Gu Xinghai noticed it.
Gu Xinghai was completely opposite to Xia Jianjing. Ever since he sent away his little bamboo horse that day and was whipped by his own father, he had nothing to worry about and focused on his studies.
Gu Xinghai didn't skip class or leave early for five whole days, and occasionally he would obediently enter the class by the main entrance, which was so startled that the teacher advised him to relax and encouraged him that as long as he performed normally, he would be fine.
Gu Xinghai entered the class through the back door with a lollipop in his mouth. He passed by Xia Jianjing's desk, raised his hand and knocked on the edge of the desk twice, and said, "The test is coming soon, are you ready?"
Xia Jianjing got up, and there was a trace of haggardness on his usually bright face. He nodded and said weakly: "It's okay."
Gu Xinghai leaned over, stared at Xia Jianjing's big dark circles, and said, "You're too sluggish, isn't there still a quota, you still have hope."
Xia Jianjing said: "It has nothing to do with it, I am trapped by love."
Gu Xinghai became interested, he chewed the lollipop twice with two clicks, threw the stick into the trash can in the corner with a flick of his hand, then pulled a chair and sat down next to Xia Jianjing.
Gu Xinghai said curiously: "Come on, tell me about your problem, and your little brother Bei will guide you."
Xia Jianjing asked: "Are you and your partner gay?"
"How would I know that? I haven't tried anyone else, but I like him so far." Gu Xinghai spread his hands and said, "I was too young at the time, and the whole world could see him alone. Whenever he teased me, I fell in love with him." No, I have no choice but to admit it."
Xia Jianjing sighed, and asked again: "Then what if I fall in love with a man, but he is not gay?"
Gu Xinghai smiled and said, "Lu Zai?"
"Yeah." Xia Jianjing looked up at Gu Xinghai, then nodded with pursed mouth, and said, "You can see it too."
Gu Xinghai raised his eyebrows, and looked at Xia Jianjing subtly, "Who told you he wasn't?"
"I asked him, he said it himself." Xia Jianjing said, "Didn't we live together? I haven't been able to sleep well recently, and I feel very depressed and wronged. You said I finally fell in love , how did you encounter such a difficult task?"
Gu Xinghai had a strange expression, as if he was holding back a smile.He endured it for a while, and finally laughed.
"You two are so funny." Gu Xinghai patted Xia Jianjing's shoulder, and jokingly said, "Maybe because of you, you are destined to shed tears for love."
Xia Jianjing said, "I'm not yet eighteen, brother."
Gu Xinghai shrugged, and said indifferently: "It's okay, the rainy season when I was 17 years old, fools shed tears through the window paper, it's the same."
Xia Jianjing pushed him away, "Go away, I don't play anymore, I want to cut off love, I want my carefree baby to sleep."
Xia Jianjing was annoying, and when it came time for the real test, he still took it 100% seriously, wishing he could turn his brain into a sponge, twisting and twisting the paper to squeeze out all the knowledge.
There were nineteen people in their class, and four teachers corrected the papers together. They finished the exam in the morning, and the results came out before the third class.
Xia Jianjing listened to the teacher read the grades, sniffed, and wanted to cry.
God is quite humane. Although he closed the door of his love, he opened a window of knowledge for him, urging him to let go of his little love and love, and go to the broad road of human civilization.
There was no dispute about the results, Gu Xinghai was first and he was second, both of them were selected into the training team.
The teacher sent a form to each of them, saying: "Fill this out, you don't have to attend the next class, take it to the office on the third floor of the teaching building to get it stamped, and finish it before school at noon."
Xia Jianjing glanced twice, but couldn't find the time, so he asked, "When are you leaving?"
The teacher didn't know either, so he just said, "Wait for the notice."
Both Xia Jianjing and Gu Xinghai were a little excited, they quickly filled out the form like a ghostly drawing talisman, and ran downstairs with it before Mo Gan.
The physics training camp was the first batch of all the training camps, and there were only the two of them. The school's work efficiency was very fast, and it was resolved with two clicks.Teacher Gai Zhang also cheered them on with a smile, wishing them success in no time.
With his hands in his pockets, Gu Xinghai complained to Xia Jianjing in a low voice, "The merit of becoming a ghost is to go to the training camp, not to participate in the International Olympiad."
Xia Jianjing also smiled and asked, "Have you ever participated?"
"The sea is gone. From childhood to adulthood, it is no longer challenging." Gu Xinghai stopped suddenly, raised his chin forward, and said, "Your brother Lu."
Xia Jianjing took a closer look and found that Lu Zai was standing at the entrance of the corridor in front of him. Although it was a long distance away, he was sure that he was right.
Xia Jianjing muttered: "Their class is on the fourth floor, why is he on the third floor?"
But he doesn't need to guess, someone will come to answer their questions soon.
Cheng Cheng jumped out of the science class, looked with his head, and laughed when he saw Lu Zai.Then Cheng Cheng ran to Lu Zai and handed an envelope to Lu Zai.
Cheng Cheng looked up at Lu Zai's face with a smile on his face. Xia Jianjing could feel her joy when he was so far away.
Lu Zai took the envelope and put it away carefully.He nodded slightly towards Cheng Cheng, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
I don't know what Lu Zai said, Xia Jianjing couldn't hear it, but could only see Cheng Cheng waving his hands quickly, his cheeks flushed with excitement.
The class bell interrupted the scene inappropriately, Lu Zai said goodbye to Cheng Cheng, turned around and went upstairs to go back to class.Cheng Cheng watched him off from the spot, and didn't turn back to work until the bell rang.
Gu Xinghai stood aside with great interest. After watching the good show, he said to Xia Jianjing, fearing that the world would not be chaotic: "Tsk, it seems that Brother Lu has accepted a love letter."
Xia Jianjing couldn't laugh at all, and even the joy of being selected for the training team was washed away in an instant.
Didn't they all agree to devote themselves to the construction of human civilization? How could he feel so uncomfortable seeing Lu Zai with others?
He felt as if he was the evil dragon. The treasure he worked so hard to save was suddenly poached by others. Of course he would be unhappy, and there was nothing wrong with it!
One size counts for one size, even if Lu Zai is not gay and doesn't like him, then we have to figure it out, what's the deal with dating without telling him?
Xia Jianjing said to Gu Xinghai: "Go back by yourself and hand in the form for me."
Gu Xinghai asked: "Then what about you?"
Xia Jianjing snorted and said, "I have to wait for Lu Zai to finish class, so I don't want to shed tears for love."
The author has something to say:
Whale boy, I advise you to speak well, otherwise there will be no milk at noon.
