21. Remember what you said today
On the dilapidated basketball hoop, a lonely hoop hangs, in front of which is a small empty field, surrounded by long artemisia grass. It used to be a factory, but then the factory closed down and the land was not developed. This is the place where Yan Xiaose and Bai Xiaoding like to play, they often meet to come here to play a game, and today is Xiaoding of Xiao Seyu. At this moment, the two of them are naked and only wearing shorts, you come and go, and they are fiercely fighting in the afterglow of the sunset, their bodies are overflowing with excess hormones, and they all need a happy catharsis.
This time it was Xiao Se who took the ball, he wanted to break through to the basket, but Xiao Ding defended very strictly, and several breakthroughs were unsuccessful, Xiao Se finally couldn't hold his breath, and slammed into Xiao Ding's three-step layup, Bai Xiaoding was knocked to the ground by him, lying on the ground panting. Xiao Se picked up the basketball, walked to Xiao Ding's side and sat down, squinting at the red sunset on the horizon.
"Xiaoding, I've always wanted to ask you......"
"What?"
"You and Zhan Xiaopai...... What is the relationship? ”
“…… Classmates. ”
"That's it?"
"Hmm."
"You're lying." Yan Xiaose's tone turned cold.
Bai Xiaoding sat up, "Then what do you say is our relationship?" ”
"Fall in love!"
"Who did you listen to?"
"Do you still need to hear this?"
"Now that you know everything, do you need to ask me?" Bai Xiaoding stood up, picked up the basketball and was about to leave.
"Bai Xiaoding, stop!" Yan Xiaose shouted behind him.
Bai Xiaoding had no choice but to stop, didn't look back, and slapped the basketball in his hand casually.
"Bai Xiaoding, we're good buddies, right?" Yan Xiaose walked to Bai Xiaoding's side and looked at him.
“…… You say yes, yes. ”
"It was meant to be! Bai Xiaoding, you know, I have also told you more than once or twice, I like Zhan Xiaopai, I want to have a relationship with her, I want to marry her as a wife. But if you like her too, and the two of you are already getting along, then you can tell me clearly, and I can withdraw too! OK? In short, let's not hurt the brotherly relationship between us for this! ”
Yan Xiaose's sincere and bitter expression obviously moved Bai Xiaoding, and he turned his head to look at Yan Xiaose, "Since you said so, then I will be honest with you, I like Zhan Xiaopai!" ”
The two looked at each other, Yan Xiaose's gaze dimmed, and he lowered his head listlessly, "I'll just ask more, this is a clear ......"
"But we ......" Bai Xiaoding wanted to speak and stopped, now he was more distressed than Yan Xiaose.
"What's wrong with you?"
"We ...... Originally, I said that we would take the Peking University exam together, but I didn't do well, and then we agreed that I would repeat the exam again, but I missed the appointment again......"
"You mean you ......"
"I don't mean anything," a helpless wry smile appeared on the corner of Bai Xiaoding's mouth, "It's just to tell you the actual situation." ”
"I see......"
Yan Xiaose nodded, he could understand Xiao Ding's feelings at the moment, and patted him on the shoulder to show comfort, "Xiao Ding, why don't you repeat it?" Can you tell me? ”
Bai Xiaoding looked at Yan Xiaose, hesitated for a while before saying, "I told you that you can keep it secret?" Don't tell anyone? ”
"I promise!" Yan Xiaose nodded vigorously.
The two walked back to the stone next to the basket and sat down, and Xiao Ding told Yan Xiaose the reason why he didn't repeat and changed to the North Courtyard. These days, he is in a depressed mood, and he feels like there is a mess of thatch blocked in his chest, and he feels a lot more relaxed when he confides in Xiao Se at this time.
"That's why you don't repeat?" Yan Xiaose was shocked after hearing this, "Incredible! ”
"Of course you don't think anything about your family's wealth, but for my family, this is a big deal! Do you know? In order to save money for me to go to college, my mother didn't even go to see the disease, and she was reluctant to take medicine, do you say that I can still go to Peking University? ”
"I'll it! I always thought that the things of poor students happened in remote mountainous areas, but I didn't expect that there were them around me! Yan Xiaose patted her chest with a bang, "Bai Xiaoding, you go to your school, I'll find a way for you about the money!" ”
"No kidding!"
"Really! I'm not kidding! Yan Xiaose's eyes narrowed, "I'll go home and ask my dad for it!" Isn't it just tens of thousands of dollars? What's there? ”
"Yan Xiaose, I know that you are enough friends, but I can't ask for your money, it doesn't make sense," Bai Xiaoding shook his head, "Besides, I won't repeat it, it's not that our family doesn't have this money, it's that I don't want to burden the family, do you understand?" ”
"Oh......" Yan Xiaose nodded in understanding.
The two sat silently for a while, then Yan Xiaose turned his head to look at Bai Xiaoding and asked, "Xiaoding, you can't go to Peking University with Zhan Xiaopai, you must be very annoyed, right?" ”
Bai Xiaoding stared blankly into the distance and did not answer.
"Definitely! If this were to happen to me, I would be crazy! Put yourself in Bai Xiaoding's shoes, Bai Xiaoding can make such a sacrifice, and Yan Xiaose is both sympathetic and admiring him.
"Don't just talk about me, talk about you, everyone is going to college, what are you going to do?" Bai Xiaoding changed the subject.
"My dad asked me to repeat it, but I resolutely refused! Now he doesn't insist, but that day I heard my Aunt Cheng say that my dad wanted me to study in the United States, and I really didn't want to go! But that's better than repeating, at least it's to go to a fresh place, and no one ......cares about it," Yan Xiaose said and sighed, "Anyway, you can drag it out, the old man is also dead-eyed, why do you say he has to force me to do it?" I really can't drag it out, so I'll go over and take a look, and I'll come back after a year and a half. ”
"It's good......" After Bai Xiaoding finished speaking, both of them were silent. After a long time, Yan Xiaose coughed and asked Bai Xiaoding an extremely sensitive question.
"Xiaoding, if ......" Yan Xiaose hesitated, "I mean, if I go after Xiaopai, you won't mind, right?" ”
Bai Xiaoding was stunned, he didn't expect Yan Xiaose to ask like this, and after being entangled for a long time, he said gloomily: "Am I still qualified to mind?" ”
Although the expression on Yan Xiaose's face did not change when she heard this, she couldn't help but secretly rejoice in her heart.
"But there is one thing, I have to tell you well......" Bai Xiaoding turned to Yan Xiaose and stared at him coldly, his gaze was terrifying.
"What?"
"If she really gets along with you, if you dare to treat her well, make her sad and sad," Bai Xiaoding's tone was extremely serious, "I will definitely beat you with a blue nose and swollen face, so that you can't see anyone!" ”
"Don't worry!" Yan Xiaose hurriedly expressed her determination, "If she really has a good day with me, I will definitely take out my heart and give it to her!" ”
"Remember what you said today!"
After Bai Xiaoding finished speaking, he no longer looked at Yan Xiaose, looked up at the red glow on the horizon, Yan Xiaose also followed Bai Xiaoding's gaze and looked into the distance, the two sat side by side bathing in the sunset, the golden red light reflected their young faces with their own hearts.
