It was also the first time Chi Fang watched Jiang Li play basketball. Although they were together every day during summer vacation, other than going to work, Jiang Li gave him extra lessons, so they never played together.
Jiang Li's shooting posture was not only standard but also very beautiful. At first glance, he was not a novice. This three-pointer nothing-but-net was definitely not a fluke.
From studying to games to basketball, Jiang Li seemed to be at his fingertips. He was like a treasure, the longer he got along with him, the more he could discover the shining points in him.
Looking at the person not far away, a desire that he had never had before emerged from the depth of Chi Fang's heart.
He wanted to own this person and make him his own.
At this moment, no one noticed that there was an imperceptible emotion in the teenager's eyes.
At the same time, Jiang Li heard System's reminder: "Congratulations to Host, the male lead's favorability has increased by 5%, and the current favorability is 63%."
Jiang Li looked back and saw Chi Fang staring at him closely, so he raised his hand and waved at him.
After the game, with the cooperation of Jiang Li and Chi Fang, Feng Yu and his team lost horribly.
Feng Yu sat on the grass panting, looking at Jiang Li who was high-fiving with Chi Fang in front of him. "I said xiongdi, don't you have a misunderstanding on the phrase 'a little bit'!"
"It's really just a little bit." Jiang Li spread out his hands and said innocently, "I just relied on you guys going easy on me."
"Fuck, your 'a little bit' was separated by the Pacific Ocean, right?" Feng Yu, remembering that he was tricked by him the last time he played a game, picked up the basketball beside him and threw it at him. "You'll get struck by lightning if you keep being pretentious!"
Before the basketball touched Jiang Li, it was intercepted by Chi Fang who was next to him and he threw it back to Feng Yu. "Loser, I'll strike you down first."
Feng Yu: "…"
Feng Yu looked at the two of them, and silently experienced the sadness of "getting abandoned by a heartless man".
At the end of the game, everyone sat around to rest and chat. A small flattop boy sitting next to Feng Yu asked Jiang Li, "Jiang Li, you play so well, why haven't I seen you play before?"
The flattop guy's name was Sun Jianping and he was in the same class as Jiang Li when he was in Senior 1.
"I didn't have the chance before, I just played by myself." Jiang Li glanced at the other party lightly.
His words reminded everyone that Jiang Li was not welcome during Senior 1. At that time, Jiang Li was a loner and other people in the class were reluctant to have any contact with him, let alone playing basketball with him.
Sun Jianping and others had laughed at Jiang Li before. Hearing that, his face was a little embarrassed, but he still sincerely apologized to Jiang Li.
After him, two more boys apologized for their behaviour of following others.
Jiang Li smiled and accepted the apology on behalf of the original host.
"By the way, Jiang Li, have you heard? Chen Jialin has applied to drop out." Sun Jianping suddenly asked.
"Drop out?"
"Yes, I heard that someone saw him come out of the toilet dirty yesterday and he applied to drop out early this morning." Sun Jianping said, "He didn't even come to school, it was his parents who came to find the teacher."
Unlike Sun Jianping and the others who just made fun of the original host verbally; in the first year of high school, Chen Jialin often came to the original host for trouble when he had nothing to do. His duty was done by the original host. After being divided into classes during Senior 2, Sun Jianping's good friends were in the same class as Chen Jialin and he learned about Chen Jialin's dropout from his friends.
Back then, Chen Jialin found someone to block him halfway, Jiang Li had also planned to find a time to get it back from the other party. Unexpectedly, the other party dropped out on the first day of school.
The reason why Chen Jialin was able to go to the No. 2 middle school was that his parents had made a lot of connections to send him in. It was impossible for him to drop out of school unless there was a compelling reason.
Jiang Li thought for a while and asked, "When did you say that he was seen coming out of the toilet yesterday?"
"Um, in the afternoon."
Hearing this, Jiang Li thought of the time when Chi Fang left yesterday. He looked up and took a glance at him, and found that he was playing Tetris with his mobile phone with his head down, as if the topic they were talking about had nothing to do with him.
Jiang Li withdrew his gaze as if he had understood something, lowered his head, and smiled.
After the evening self-study, Jiang Li said that he was going to Chi Fang's house to see Jiang Nuomi and asked him if it was convenient to give him a ride.
It was exactly what Chi Fang wanted, he then rode him out of the campus on his bicycle.
Their bicycle passed by Feng Yu like a gust of wind and disappeared in front of him in the blink of an eye. Feng Yu looked in the direction in which the two disappeared and remembered a lyric in his mind: Love is like a gust of wind, and it will go away after it blows. 1
Chi Fang was riding at a very fast speed, and the night wind blew up the hem of his clothes and across Jiang Li's face.
Jiang Li sat on the back of the bicycle, stretched out his hand to grab the hem of his clothes that were flying and held it in his palm.
When Chi Fang rode his bike past the gate of the South Slope police station, he unconsciously slowed down a bit, remembering the scene where he met Jiang Li back then.
At that time, he believed in Feng Yu and felt that Jiang Li was trying to set him up, deliberately looking for a chance to meet him. Later, when Jiang Li accidentally bumped into him on the bus, he thought he was finding fault with him. Now that he thought about it, it was more like he was the one finding fault.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing softly and speeding up again.
Jiang Li heard his laughter and asked aloud, "What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing." The corners of Chi Fang's lips were raised high and the youthful voice carried the energy and publicity unique to adolescence, "I'm just happy."
Jiang Li squeezed the hem of his clothes tightly, looked up at his hair that was blown by the wind, his eyes filled with gentleness. He slowly put his forehead on his back, and said in a soft voice, "Me too."
"What did you say?" His voice was too soft for Chi Fang to hear clearly.
"Nothing."
I just thought it's great to be able to see you again.
After they returned to the downstairs of the community, Chi Fang parked his bicycle in the small room under the stairs, locked it, and went upstairs with Jiang Li.
As soon as the two entered the room, Jiang Nuomi, who was squatting on the shoe rack, jumped down and circled around Jiang Li. After two circles, Chi Fang bent down and picked it up.
"Meow!!" Jiang Nuomi struggled to get out of his embrace.
Chi Fang was indifferent to its resistance and carried it directly into the living room. Jiang Li followed behind them and saw him place Jiang Nuomi on the sofa to ravage him; irritating Jiang Nuomi so much that it kept calling out, wanting to use its four paws to scratch him.
Jiang Li stepped forward to rescue Jiang Nuomi from his hands, and scolded, "Enough, he's going to turn against you if you continue messing with him."
"What an ungrateful brat, turn against me then." Chi Fang tsked.
The old man hadn't gone to play chess this day. He heard the voices of the two and came out of the room. "You guys are back? I've left some food for you guys in the kitchen. I'll go and warm it up."
"I'll do it." Jiang Li put down his school bag and followed him to the kitchen.
The old man didn't have the habit of eating supper. While Jiang Li and Chi Fang were eating, he sat on the side and chatted with the two of them for a while and planned to go back to sleep. Before going back, he suggested that Jiang Li should stay there overnight and not travel back and forth. After all, he still needed to get up early for class the next morning.
"Xiao Fang's bed is big enough for you two to sleep in one bed," the old man said.
"Pfft!"
Chi Fang almost spat out a mouthful of soup. He covered his mouth and coughed a few times before he could take a few more breaths and looked up at Jiang Li. "You… sleep with me?"
"Is it inconvenient?" Jiang Li saw that it seemed to be causing him to have a hard time, and said understandingly, "Then I'd better go back."
"It's not that it's inconvenient…" Chi Fang's eyes wandered a little, thinking that he was just not ready to suddenly share the same bed with him.
Hearing what he said, Jiang Li felt relieved and didn't refuse. "Then I'll trouble you."
"Lord, you promised too quickly…"
Jiang Li smiled. "I'm here for this."
After eating, Chi Fang went back to the room to get his clothes and went to take a shower. For some reason, he had a feeling that he was going to do something bad, feeling a little nervous and a little excited.
After he came out of the bath, it was Jiang Li's turn to take a shower.
Jiang Li had never stayed at Chi Fang's house before. Although there were new toiletries, there were no new pajamas at his house, he could only wear Chi Fang's.
Chi Fang was twelve centimeters taller than him, wearing the large and loose pajamas, even the legs of his trousers were rolled up.
After preparing new bed sheets and pillows for Jiang Li, Chi Fang looked at the two pillows side by side on the bed. Some inappropriate images he had seen the previous night slowly emerged, making his ears warm again.
Sleeping together with Jiang Li…sleep together…sleep…
Chi Fang shook his head violently, shaking away the enchanting pictures in his mind. He lifted the sheets and lay in first, picking up his mobile phone and playing games to divert his attention.
"Knock knock…"
There was a knock on the door outside, Chi Fang looked up and saw Jiang Li walking in. Seeing that Jiang Li was wearing his pajamas, Chi Fang's gaze paused slightly, and there was a strange feeling in his heart so that he didn't even continue playing games.
Jiang Li walked to the front of him, slightly lifted the hem of his pajamas with one hand, and pulled the waist of his trousers with the other, a little distressed. "Chi Fang, your pajamas are a bit large."
A small part of his fair waist was revealed after he lifted up the pajamas and the waistline on both sides was slightly concave, showing a very beautiful arc.
Chi Fang's gaze involuntarily stuck to his slender waist, unable to move his eyes away.
So thin, so white, I feel like I can hold it with one hand.
Chi Fang thought in a trance and wanted to know how it felt to touch it.
"Chi Fang?" Jiang Li reached out and shook his hand in front of him. "Why are you in a daze?"
Chi Fang suddenly came back to his senses and found that he had been looking at Jiang Li's waist earlier, and his hand was even stretched out halfway. He quickly looked away, turned his palm, and touched his nose, retorting, "It's not that my pants are too big, it's just that you're too thin."
"Okay then." Jiang Li thought it made sense, put the hem of the clothes down, and saw that there were more pillows than usual in the bed. "Am I sleeping inside?"
"En." Chi Fang retracted his straight legs and gave him a place. "Come up."
Jiang Li got on the bed and lay down in the inner position. There was about a person's distance between the two. As soon as he lay down, he said, "It's time to sleep, it's almost twelve o'clock."
"Oh." Chi Fang quit the game, turned off the light, and lay down.
The curtains in the room were drawn tightly and there was not a trace of light, and the two lay side by side.
In the darkness, Chi Fang heard Jiang Li's breathing as if it was right in his ears. The feeling of lying on the same bed with the person he liked made him a little excited and somewhat at ease.
Even though the bed was huge, he felt like he would touch Jiang Li as soon as he moved, so he could only lie stiffly upright, silently repeating "Calm down a little" in his heart.
After a long time, he felt that the person beside him had fallen asleep. He reached out and gently opened the curtains by a gap.
The moonlight outside shone in through the gap in the curtains, slowly illuminating the originally dark space. Chi Fang turned his face, and his sight landed on Jiang Li's face.
Jiang Li was already asleep, his mouth opened slightly, his chest heaving slightly.
Chi Fang looked at him, his eyes were full of tenderness that he hadn't even noticed. He watched for a while before he closed the curtains, silently said good night, and closed his eyes to sleep.
Chi Fang thought he would not be able to sleep, but unexpectedly, he had a good night's sleep.
The next day, when he woke up, he felt that someone was pressing him, which he was a little unaccustomed to. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Li, who was sleeping on the other side at night, was hugging him on his waist and lying on his chest, while Chi Fang was holding his shoulder with one hand from who knew since when.
Did something happen last night?
Just when Chi Fang was confused, Jiang Li also woke up. He rubbed his head against his chest habitually, touched his fingers, and said in a daze, "Why is your chest so hard?"
Chi Fang: "…"
Don't fucking rub it anymore, if you continue rubbing, there's something even harder than this.
