Your Promise

It tells the love story of school tyrant Lu Ye and academic tyrant Jiang Xubai, and they gradually get together later. They are two male protagonists. Intention: The wind in September still carries the lingering heat of midsummer, the leaves of the sycamore trees are curled up in the sun, and the chirping of cicadas echoes throughout Yuying Middle School, making people irritable. In the classroom of Grade 1 (1), the fan squeaked and turned, but it could not dissipate the stuffy heat in the room. The class teacher was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She stood in front of the podium with a roster in her hands. She frowned and glanced around the classroom. Finally, she landed on the empty seat in the last row by the window. There was an unconcealable helplessness in her tone: "Lu Ye is not here again? It's only the first day of school, and he dares to skip class. It's so lawless!" When the students in the class heard this, they all lowered their heads tacitly, and no one dared to answer the question. The name Lu Ye is known to everyone in Yuying Middle School. He was a school bully who rose straight from junior high school. He got into fights, skipped classes and went online, contradicted teachers, and was involved in everything students shouldn't do. He has short, eye-catching light chestnut hair, and the broken hair hangs down casually in front of his forehead, covering some of his eyebrows, but it cannot block the unruly anger in his eyes. The school uniform is always worn loosely, with an open collar, and the sleeves are rolled up to the elbows, exposing the neat forearms. He always walks with a carefree look, and has a fierce look in his eyes that should not be approached by strangers. He is the number one problem student in the eyes of the teachers in the school, and a person that students do not dare to easily mess with. The head teacher sighed and stopped mentioning Lu Ye. Instead, he picked up the chalk and wrote a line of elegant words on the blackboard. He cleared his throat and said, "Okay, let's continue arranging seats. This is classmate Jiang Xubai. He just transferred from another place. He has excellent grades. We should learn more from him in the future." As soon as he finished speaking, a young man walked in from the classroom door. In an instant, the classroom was quiet for a few seconds, the whispers suddenly stopped, and everyone's eyes turned to the door. The young man was wearing a clean and tidy blue and white school uniform, with the zipper pulled down to the collar. He was meticulous and his posture was tall and straight, standing there like a green pine. He was extremely handsome, with warm eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and clear lip lines. He wore a pair of thin-rimmed glasses, and his eyes were dark and clear behind the lenses, exuding a calm and elegant scholarly air. The whole body has a clean and calm temperament, which seems to be incompatible with the hot and noisy campus, with a distant but gentle aura. He walked slowly up to the podium, his voice was clear and pleasant, like a clear spring in the mountains, and he slowly said: "Hello everyone, I am Jiang Xubai." A simple self-introduction, without any unnecessary words, made the girls in the class blush and look at him secretly. This is Jiang Xubai, the complete opposite of Lu Ye. One is a rebellious and rebellious school bully, and the other is a gentle and top-notch academic bully. They are like two parallel lines that will never intersect, one is flamboyant in the dust, and the other is shining quietly in the clouds. The head teacher was extremely satisfied with Jiang Xubai. He smiled and pointed to the empty seat next to Lu Ye in the last row: "Xu Bai, just sit there first. That location has good lighting." In fact, everyone knows that that position is a "forbidden zone" in the class, Lu Ye's exclusive territory. No one dares to even approach him on weekdays, let alone sit next to him. But the class teacher was helpless. There was only one vacancy left in the class, and Jiang Xubai was a top student. She thought that maybe Jiang Xubai could motivate Lu Ye, and even if he could calm down his temper, it would be better than being so lawless now. Jiang Xubai looked in the direction pointed by the head teacher, and his eyes fell on the empty seat in the last row. Without any wavering in his eyes, he nodded lightly: "Okay." He picked up his schoolbag and walked slowly to the last row. When passing by the middle of the classroom, the students held their breath subconsciously, followed him with their eyes, and secretly felt a sweat for him. Everyone knows that Lu Ye has a very bad temper and hates people sitting next to him. Before, a classmate accidentally put a book on his desk and was pushed hard by him. Now, if Jiang Xubai, a seemingly elegant and weak academic, is allowed to sit next to him, he may be in trouble. Jiang Xubai was completely unaware of the strange looks around him. He walked calmly to the last row, placed his schoolbag on the empty seat, sat down quietly, took out his textbook and tidied the table, his movements calm and calm, his expression calm. Not long after he sat down, the back door of the classroom was pushed open violently, making a loud "bang" sound, which shocked all the students in the class. I saw Lu Ye walking in slowly with one hand in his trouser pocket. His light chestnut hair was a little messy, and there was a little sweat on his forehead. There was a trace of impatience on his face. His eyes swept across the classroom, and finally fell on the unfamiliar figure next to his seat. His brows instantly furrowed, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. When did anyone dare to sit on his territory? Lu Ye paused, his eyes fell coldly on Jiang Xubai, his tone was unkind and full of provocation: "Hey, who are you? Who told you to sit here? Get up." There was silence in the classroom for an instant. Everyone watched this scene nervously, not daring to breathe, waiting to see Jiang Xubai be driven away by Lu Ye, or even a conflict. Jiang Xubai slowly raised his head and met Lu Ye's fierce gaze. The eyes behind the lenses were calm and calm, without any fear or dodge. He just said lightly: "It was arranged by the head teacher." The tone was calm, but there was an unquestionable certainty. Lu Ye didn't expect that this weak-looking nerd would dare to talk to him like this. He immediately became angry. He took a step forward and leaned towards him. The hostility around him became heavier. He lowered his voice and threatened: "I don't care who arranged it. This is my position. Get out of my way right now. Don't force me to do anything." The two were extremely close, and Lu Ye had a faint smell of tobacco and sweat on his body, and the hot wind blew towards his face. Jiang Xubai still sat still, just looked at him calmly, and spoke slowly, his voice was shallow, but his words were clear: "This is a classroom, a place for learning, not your private territory. The seats are assigned by the head teacher, and I won't leave." His eyes were too calm, too steady, without the slightest trace of panic, which actually made Lu Ye a little confused for a moment. Ever since he was young, no matter whether it was his classmates at school or people outside, they would be frightened and run away when they saw his fierce look. No one had ever dared to look at him like this or reject him like this. The nerd in front of me is the first one. Lu Ye stared at him for a few seconds, looking at his gentle but firm eyebrows. The anger in his heart inexplicably subsided a little, but he still couldn't keep his face down. He glared at Jiang Xubai fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you have the guts." After saying that, he pulled out his chair suddenly, sat down hard, made a harsh sound, and deliberately threw his schoolbag on the table to vent his dissatisfaction. Jiang Xubai didn't seem to feel the low pressure around him, and still looked at the textbook quietly, his fingertips lightly tracing the pages, his expression focused, as if the thorn-covered school bully next to him was just air. Lu Ye glanced at Jiang Xubai, who was calm and composed beside him, and felt increasingly unhappy. He originally wanted to give this new nerd a slap in the face, let him know how powerful he was, and get out of his own territory, but he didn't expect that the other party was actually aloof and not afraid of him at all. He leaned on the back of the chair irritably, resting his legs on the table legs casually, tilting his head and looking at Jiang Xubai beside him. The sun shines through the window and slants on Jiang Xubai's body, coating his whole body with a faint warm golden halo. He drooped his eyelashes, and his long and dense eyelashes cast a shallow shadow under his eyelids. His nose was high, his lips were slightly pursed, his profile was clean and soft, and the fingers holding the textbook were slender and white, with clear joints, which made him look ridiculously good-looking. It was obviously the same school uniform, but it looked unruly on Lu Ye, but on Jiang Xubai, it looked particularly clean and elegant, with a reassuring temperament. Lu Ye looked at it, and the inexplicable irritability in his heart gradually dissipated. Instead, he felt that this nerd was quite good-looking, much prettier than the pretentious girls in school. He shook his head to get rid of his inexplicable thoughts, snorted coldly, turned his head, stopped looking at Jiang Xubai, simply lay down on the table, closed his eyes and went to sleep. Anyway, going to class is superfluous to him, and sleeping is the real thing. Looking at Lu Ye who suddenly became quiet next to him and even heard the sound of even breathing, Jiang Xubai raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly. He looked at the young man lying on the table, his usual fierceness had faded away, and instead he had a well-behaved profile. A faint smile flashed in his eyes, and then he regained his composure and continued to lower his head to read. The midsummer wind passed through the corridor, rustling the sycamore leaves in front of the window. No one thought that after their first encounter in midsummer, these two seemingly completely different teenagers would become entangled from then on, from tit-for-tat to caring about each other, from being alone to two-way redemption. The unruly and flamboyant wildness will eventually meet the warm and clear whiteness. When wildness meets whiteness, it will be a lifetime. Chapter 2 Tenderness in the wrong question book The days after school starts are dull and regular. Lu Ye still had his own way of doing things, sleeping in class, skipping get out of class and hanging out after class, or running rampant on campus with a group of so-called friends. Occasionally, he would have conflicts with people over trivial matters. Fights were commonplace, and he would always return to the classroom with injuries all over his body, but he still looked indifferent, as if the pain was not worth mentioning to him. Jiang Xubai has always been the most eye-catching presence in the class. His grades are firmly ranked first in the grade, and he is far ahead in every subject. He is the most worry-free top student in the eyes of teachers, and an elusive academic leader in the eyes of his classmates. He has a gentle personality and is polite to others. No matter who asks him for advice, he will patiently explain it. He will never be arrogant or complacent because of his good grades, nor will he participate in any disputes on campus. He always keeps to himself and is quietly immersed in his own world. The two of them were sitting at the same table, but they seemed to be from two different worlds. Lu Ye slept most of the day. When he woke up, he would either be in a daze or look out the window and get distracted. He almost never talked to Jiang Xubai. Occasionally, when Jiang Xubai accidentally touched his book, he would frown and look impatient. Jiang Xubai never cared about this, and still studied on his own. Occasionally, when Lu Ye was asleep in class and was called on by the teacher, he would calmly push the scratch paper filled with answers to him to help him out. At first, Lu Ye didn't appreciate it and felt that Jiang Xubai was being fake and deliberately showing off his achievements in front of him. Every time he was helped by Jiang Xubai, he would snort coldly, turn his head away, and pretend not to care, but there would be a strange feeling in his heart that he couldn't explain. When the first monthly exam results came out, there was no suspense. Jiang Xubai was still number one in the grade, with nearly full marks in all subjects. The report card was so dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes away. Lu Ye, on the other hand, was still firmly at the bottom of his grade. His grades in all subjects were appalling. The test papers were full of dazzling red crosses, and few of the questions were answered correctly. The head teacher took Lu Ye's report card and was so angry that he was shaking all over. He called him to the office and reprimanded him severely. However, Lu Ye still had an indifferent look on his face. No matter what the head teacher said, he just nodded perfunctorily, turned around and threw the teacher's words away. In the end, the class teacher had no choice but to find Jiang Xubai again and begged him sincerely: "Xu Bai, teacher knows that you are busy studying, but Lu Ye is not a bad kid at heart, he is just too rebellious. Can you help him more and give him extra lessons? Even if it can improve his grades a little, it will be better than what he is now." Jiang Xubai looked at the anxious and helpless look of the head teacher, nodded slightly, and said in a calm tone: "Teacher, I understand, I will try my best." Returning to the classroom from the office, Jiang Xubai had just sat down when he saw Lu Ye lying on the table, looking at his math test paper with red crosses all over it, his brows furrowed, his face irritated, and he muttered in a low voice: "What a broken question, I can't understand it at all, it's so annoying." He held the test paper and wanted to tear it up, but in the end he held it in his hand and rubbed it vigorously, with a look of defeat on his face. In fact, Lu Ye didn't really know anything about studying. It was just that he had not been disciplined since he was a child. He had long been accustomed to indulging himself. In addition, his foundation was too poor to keep up with the courses. Over time, he gave up studying completely and disguised himself as rebellious and fierce. But every time he saw such disastrous results, he would feel inexplicably lost and embarrassed. Jiang Xubai looked at his appearance and was silent for a moment. He reached into his schoolbag and took out a brand new white wrong-titled book, and then gently pushed it in front of Lu Ye. Lu Ye noticed the movement in front of him, raised his head, looked at the wrong question book with a puzzled face, and then looked at Jiang Xubai, with confusion and wariness in his eyes, and a bad tone: "What are you doing?" "Please sort out your wrong questions and I'll teach you." Jiang Xubai looked at him, his tone was calm but full of seriousness, "It doesn't matter if you have a weak foundation. You can learn it slowly if you make up for it." Lu Ye looked at the clean and tidy wrong-question book, and then at Jiang Xubai's serious eyebrows, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. In all his life, no one has ever said such a thing to him. His parents divorced when he was very young and each started a new family, leaving him alone with his elderly grandmother. Grandma is old and can't control him at all. People around him are either afraid of him or dislike him. No one has ever really cared about his study, and no one is willing to patiently teach him to do the questions. Everyone thought he was a bad student and a hopeless gangster, and even he gradually came to think so. But this deskmate in front of him, who he had only known for a short time, was a top student who was incompatible with him, but he was willing to take the initiative to teach him to study and help him sort out his wrong questions. Lu Ye looked at the book with wrong questions, and the tip of his nose felt inexplicably sour, but he still spoke harshly. He didn't want to show his vulnerable side, deliberately pretending to be impatient, and pushed the book of wrong questions in front of Jiang Xubai: "Who wants you to pretend to be kind? I don't need to make up the lessons, you can keep it for yourself." After saying that, he turned his head again, lay down on the table, and pretended to sleep. But this time, he couldn't fall asleep. His heart was in a mess. Jiang Xubai's words just kept echoing in his mind, and his serious look kept appearing in front of his eyes. Jiang Xubai looked at his awkward look, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes. He didn't say anything anymore, but just picked up Lu Ye's crumpled mathematics test paper, flattened it gently, then took out his pen, leaned over and began to sort it out seriously. He copied the wrong questions on Lu Ye's test paper one by one into the wrong question book one by one, and then wrote down the detailed steps to solve the problems in neat and elegant handwriting next to them. Even the ideas for solving the problems and the knowledge points involved were clearly marked. The sun shines through the window and shines on the two of them. Jiang Xubai lowers his head and writes seriously, quietly and gently. The tip of the pen scratches the paper, making a rustling sound, breaking the silence in the classroom. Lu Ye was lying on the table. Although his back was to Jiang Xubai, he kept secretly looking at him with his peripheral vision. Seeing his focused expression, seeing him carefully sorting out the wrong questions for himself, seeing his pen tip sliding continuously and writing neat lines of handwriting, Lu Ye's heartbeat inexplicably accelerated a few minutes, and the indestructible line of defense in his heart seemed to have quietly cracked open at this moment. This nerd doesn't seem to be that annoying. Even a little gentle. When Jiang Xubai finished sorting out all the wrong questions in the entire test paper, Lu Ye was still lying on the table, motionless. Jiang Xubai looked at his back, gently placed the wrong question book on the corner of his desk, and then spoke softly, his voice gentle, like the breeze in spring: "I have sorted out all the wrong questions on your test paper. The steps are written in great detail. If you don't understand, you can ask me at any time." After saying that, he stopped interrupting, picked up his textbook again, and studied quietly. Lu Ye lay on the table, listening to the even sound of turning books around, and couldn't calm down for a long time. After a long time, he slowly raised his head and looked at the white wrong-question book on the corner of the table. The cover is clean and tidy, without any wrinkles. When you open the first page, you will see the wrong questions on his test paper. The steps to solve each question are clear and clear, and the handwriting is neat and neat, which makes people feel comfortable just looking at it. He clutched the wrongly written book tightly, exerting slight pressure on his fingertips, and the tips of his ears turned red quietly. Lu Ye, who was fearless and never moved by anyone or anything, at this moment, looking at this gentle wrong-question book and the young man studying quietly beside him, strange emotions arose in his heart for the first time, like ripples on the surface of a lake where stones are thrown. He secretly raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Xubai beside him. The sun fell on the top of the young man's hair, warm and beautiful. It turns out that this is how it feels to be taken into consideration and treated with tenderness. From this moment on, Lu Ye knew that he seemed to be attracted to this new academic classmate. The tenderness hidden in the wrong question book quietly penetrated into his rebellious and dusty heart, and could no longer be erased. Chapter 3 An umbrella on a rainy day, warmth in my heart As the days passed, Lu Ye gradually changed. He no longer skips classes and hangs out all day long like before. Although he still occasionally sleeps in class, when he is awake, he picks up the wrong question book that Jiang Xubai compiled for him, looks through it carefully, and tries to understand those complicated questions. When he encountered something he really couldn't understand, he would awkwardly touch Jiang Xubai with his elbow, then point to the question in the wrong question book, avoid his eyes, and ask in a stiff tone: "Hey, nerd, how do you do this question?" Every time at this time, Jiang Xubai would stop the pen in his hand and patiently explain to him, from knowledge points to problem-solving ideas, step by step until he understood it completely. Jiang Xubai's voice was clear and pleasant, and his explanation of the topic was clear and easy to understand. Knowledge points that were originally difficult to understand became simple and clear after he explained them. Lu Ye was also extremely serious, looking at him intently, listening to his gentle explanation, feeling full of peace in his heart. The students in the class were extremely shocked when they saw this scene. Who would have thought that Lu Ye, the domineering and unruly school bully, would actually sit in his seat and study, and would take the initiative to ask Jiang Xubai questions without any impatience in the whole process, and there was even a trace of imperceptible obedience in his eyes. Only Lu Ye himself knew that all his changes were because of Jiang Xubai. He didn't want to disappoint Jiang Xubai, didn't want to live up to Jiang Xubai's intentions, and wanted to work hard to keep up with him, and didn't want to always be the bad student who was looked down upon. He wanted to become better, even better, at least worthy of standing next to Jiang Xubai. In the blink of an eye, early summer has arrived, the weather has become cloudy and cloudy, and it rains more and more. After school that day, the sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and the originally sunny sky suddenly became dark. Not long after, huge raindrops began to fall, and heavy rain poured down. The sky and the earth seemed to be shrouded in a rain curtain, making it difficult to see the scenery in the distance. The students took out their umbrellas one after another, or were picked up by their parents, and left the classroom one by one. Soon, only Lu Ye and Jiang Xubai were left in the classroom. Lu Ye touched his empty schoolbag and remembered that he had gone out in a hurry in the morning and didn't bring an umbrella with him at all. He leaned back in his chair irritably, looking at the pouring rain outside the window, frowning. His home is not close to the school, and he usually walks home. Now it is raining so heavily, and there is no way to go back without an umbrella. He originally wanted to wait for the rain to lighten up before leaving, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier, showing no signs of stopping, and the sky was getting darker. Just when Lu Ye was at a loss what to do, Jiang Xubai's clear voice came from beside him: "You didn't bring an umbrella?" Lu Ye turned his head and looked at Jiang Xubai, only to see that he had packed his schoolbag and was holding a black long-handled umbrella in his hand. He was looking at him with gentle eyes. "You don't have to worry about it." Lu Ye subconsciously spoke harshly and turned his head away, not wanting to admit his embarrassment. He had always been proud and never wanted to show his helpless side in front of others, even if that person was Jiang Xubai. Jiang Xubai looked at his awkward look and didn't say much. He just walked slowly to the door of the classroom, opened his umbrella, then looked back at Lu Ye, and said in a calm tone: "I'll follow you, let's go together, and I'll take you home." Lu Ye was stunned and looked up at him, his eyes full of astonishment. He and Jiang Xubai were not on the same road at all. He knew that Jiang Xubai's family lived on the other side of the school, which was completely opposite to his own home. Seeing Jiang Xubai's serious eyes, Lu Ye felt warm in his heart. The words he originally wanted to refuse came to his lips, but he couldn't say them out. He was silent for a moment, and finally stood up, picked up his schoolbag, and followed Jiang Xubai out of the classroom. The rain was pouring, hitting the umbrella and making a clicking sound. A black long-handled umbrella, not very wide, could barely cover two people. Jiang Xubai always tilted the umbrella towards Lu Ye. His right shoulder was completely exposed to the rain and soon became wet. The dark water stains spread on the shoulder, spread little by little, and stuck to his body, which was biting cold. Lu Ye was walking beside him and accidentally caught a glimpse of his soaked shoulders. His heart tightened and he suddenly felt distressed. He stopped, reached out and pushed the umbrella towards Jiang Xubai, frowned, and said with a hint of reproach in his tone: "Are you stupid? Move the umbrella towards you, my shoulders are soaked!" Jiang Xubai held his hand, looked at him, his eyes were full of tenderness, and said softly: "I'm fine, just don't get wet." This simple sentence made Lu Ye blush instantly, his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, and he felt like a warm current was poured into his heart. It was warm and sweet, dispelling all the coldness of the rainy day. He looked at Jiang Xubai's gentle brows and eyes, at his hair wetted by the rain, and at his firm eyes. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. This young man was always like this, taking care of him quietly and paying for him silently without asking for anything in return. The two continued to walk side by side in the rain, without saying much but not feeling embarrassed at all. The rain wet the ground, causing small splashes of water. The road underfoot was wet, but Lu Ye felt that walking on this road was particularly stable and reassuring. He secretly turned his head and looked at the young man holding an umbrella for him next to him. The rain had wet the ends of his hair, but it still couldn't hide his handsome face. The temperament around him was warm and clean, making people want to get closer. Lu Ye's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and his eyes were glued to Jiang Xubai, unable to move away anymore. It turns out that this is what it feels like to like someone. Your heart will be moved by his words, you will feel distressed by his actions, you will want to stay by his side all the time, even if you are just walking quietly like this, you will feel extremely happy. Unknowingly, we arrived at the gate of Lu Yejia Community. Lu Ye stopped and turned to look at Jiang Xubai, looking at his soaked shoulders and hair. His heart was full of guilt and gratitude. His Adam's apple rolled. He held it in for a long time before he said: "Today... Thank you. You should go home quickly. Be careful on the road." Jiang Xubai looked at his red cheeks, a smile flashed in his eyes, and nodded gently: "Okay, go in quickly, don't catch a cold." After saying that, he turned around, held the half-wet umbrella, and walked into the rain curtain, and his figure gradually disappeared. Lu Ye stood at the gate of the community, watching Jiang Xubai's figure disappear into the rain, before slowly turning around and going home. When he returned home, his mind was still full of Jiang Xubai's figure, his gentle eyes, and his words "Just don't get wet." That rainy day, that tilted umbrella, and that gentle boy became the warmest memories in Lu Ye's youth. They were deeply imprinted in his heart and could never be forgotten again. He knew that his love for Jiang Xubai was getting deeper and deeper, so deep that he could no longer hide it, so deep that he wanted to keep this person firmly by his side and protect him for life. Chapter 4: Stand up for you Lu Ye's restraint, in the eyes of many people, is only temporary. After all, his rebelliousness and unruly nature are deep-rooted, and it is not easy to completely change him. In addition, he had made many enemies in school before, so many people still disliked him, and there were also many gangsters from other schools who wanted to cause trouble for him. After school that day, Lu Ye walked out of school with Jiang Xubai as usual. The two planned to walk for a while together and then go home separately. As soon as they reached the entrance of an alley near the school, seven or eight teenagers in strange clothes and angry faces suddenly rushed out of the alley and blocked their way. The leader was a boy with dyed yellow hair and a ferocious scar on his face. He looked fierce. He stared at Lu Ye, his eyes full of provocation and ferocity: "Lu Ye, you really made me wait. You beat my brother before. This debt should be settled today!" Lu Ye recognized at a glance that this yellow-haired boy was a well-known gangster in the neighborhood. His brother had bullied junior students at the school gate before. Lu Ye caught him and gave him a severe lesson. Unexpectedly, the other brother actually harbored a grudge and came to seek revenge on him. Lu Ye subconsciously protected Jiang Xubai behind him and stood a step forward. His whole body instantly exuded a strong aura of hostility. He looked at the gangster in front of him with cold eyes and said in a fierce tone: "Want to settle the score? Just come, I will stay with you till the end." Although he was not afraid of fighting, he did not want Jiang Xubai to be involved in this dispute, and he did not want Jiang Xubai to be harmed at all. Jiang Xubai stood behind Lu Ye, looking at his back protecting him in front of him, looking at his thin but extremely firm shoulders, his heart warmed, but he was also full of worry. The opponent had a large number of people, and none of them looked easy to mess with. Even if Lu Ye was able to fight, he would still be outnumbered and would definitely suffer. Hearing this, the boy with yellow hair sneered and waved his hand. The gangsters behind him immediately swarmed up and rushed toward Lu Ye. "Lu Ye, be careful!" Jiang Xubai couldn't help but remind him, feeling extremely anxious. Lu Ye's eyes darkened, he clenched his fists, and faced him without hesitation. He always fights fiercely and without risking his life, but there are too many opponents, and he gradually loses the upper hand. In the chaos, a gangster picked up a wooden stick on the ground and hit Lu Ye hard on the back. "Be careful!" Jiang Xubai's face changed drastically. Without thinking, he immediately rushed forward and pushed Lu Ye away, but he received the blow forcefully. There was a muffled "bang" sound, and the wooden stick hit Jiang Xubai's shoulder hard. His face turned pale instantly, his brows furrowed in pain, and he staggered and almost fell down. "Jiang Xubai!" When Lu Ye saw this scene, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes instantly became bloodshot. The hostility around him suddenly exploded to the extreme. Heartache, anger, worry, all kinds of emotions were intertwined, making him almost lose his mind. He had never been so scared, never so angry. He could get hurt by himself, he could bear all the pain by himself, but he would never allow Jiang Xubai to be hurt at all because of him. "If you dare to touch him, I will destroy you today!" Lu Ye roared, like an enraged wolf, with red eyes, he rushed towards the gangsters desperately. He was fierce, using all his strength with every punch, his eyes were so fierce and scary, and the aura of violence emanating from his body made those gangsters unable to help but feel fear. Jiang Xubai held his painful shoulder. Seeing Lu Ye desperate to protect himself, his heart felt warm and painful. He endured the pain in his shoulder, took out his mobile phone, and quickly dialed the police number. His voice was calm and calm: "Hello, police? This is an alley near Yuying Middle School. There are people gathering to fight. Please come over quickly." When the gangsters heard the alarm, they immediately panicked and no longer dared to fight. The boy with yellow hair glared at Lu Ye fiercely, said "We'll see," and fled in a hurry with his men. Quietness finally returned to the alley. Lu Ye ignored his wounds and rushed to Jiang Xubai's side immediately, looking at him anxiously, his voice trembling: "Jiang Xubai, how are you? Are you okay? Does it hurt?" He carefully wanted to touch Jiang Xubai's shoulder, but was afraid of hurting him. His hand hung in the air, his eyes filled with distress and self-blame. It's all his fault. If he hadn't been so impulsive, if he had taken Jiang Xubai away earlier, Jiang Xubai wouldn't have been hurt and wouldn't have received this blow. Seeing the anxiety, remorse and worry on Lu Ye's face, and the large and small scratches on his body, Jiang Xubai felt warm in his heart, shook his head gently, endured the pain, and squeezed out a gentle smile: "I'm fine, don't worry, it's just a minor injury." "What do you call a minor injury! How could such a heavy blow be okay!" Lu Ye choked with sobs, his eyes slightly red. He had never shed a tear no matter how badly he was injured. But at this moment, seeing Jiang Xubai injured in order to save himself, he couldn't help but his eyes were red. He carefully supported Jiang Xubai, and his tone was unprecedentedly panicked: "Let's go, I'll take you to the hospital, and check it out quickly." "No need to go to the hospital, it's not that serious." Jiang Xubai pulled him and said softly, "Let's find a place first and treat the wound." Lu Ye didn't listen at all. He couldn't help but carefully supported Jiang Xubai and walked quickly to a nearby clinic. In the clinic, the doctor examined Jiang Xubai's shoulder. Fortunately, it was only soft tissue damage and no bones were injured. He prescribed some topical medicine and disinfected the abrasions on Lu Ye's body. Sitting on the chair in the clinic, Lu Ye looked at the red and swollen scars on Jiang Xubai's shoulders. His heart was still filled with self-blame. He lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry. It's all because of me that you got hurt." Seeing his dejected look with remorse on his face, Jiang Xubai felt soft, stretched out his uninjured hand, patted his shoulder gently, and said in a gentle tone: "I don't blame you, I don't regret it, I can't let you get hurt." The moment he rushed over and pushed Lu Ye away, he didn't hesitate at all. He didn't want to see Lu Ye get hurt, and he didn't want to see him face those dangers alone. As long as Lu Ye could be protected, it wouldn't be a big deal if he got a little injured. Lu Ye raised his head and looked into Jiang Xubai's gentle eyes. Seeing the unreserved care and concern in his eyes, his heart was instantly filled and tears almost fell. He hugged Jiang Xubai and carefully, for fear of touching his wounds, buried his head in the crook of his neck, his voice choked with sobs: "Jiang Xubai, you are not allowed to do this again, and you are not allowed to get hurt for me again, do you hear me!" Feeling the trembling and uneasiness of the boy in his arms, Jiang Xubai gently hugged him back, patted his back, and softly comforted him: "Okay, I promise you, I won't do it again." The setting sun shines through the window of the clinic, shining warmly and beautifully on the two of them. This sudden conflict and this thrilling protection brought the hearts of the two teenagers completely close to each other. Lu Ye knew that Jiang Xubai really cared about him and really wanted to protect him. And he also secretly vowed in his heart that no matter what happens in the future, he will do his best to protect Jiang Xubai and never let him be harmed in the slightest, nor let him suffer the slightest risk because of himself. For you, I am willing to stand up and give everything I have to protect you throughout my life. Chapter 5 Exclusive tenderness, heartfelt confession Since that alley incident, the relationship between Lu Ye and Jiang Xubai has become increasingly close. Lu Ye completely curbed his anger. He never fought with others, skipped classes, or contradicted the teacher. He became much docile. The fierceness in his eyes faded away, leaving only full of tenderness. This tenderness was only shown to Jiang Xubai. He would come to the classroom early every day, help Jiang Xubai clean the table and prepare warm breakfast. Jiang Xubai had a bad stomach, so Lu Ye made a note of it and brought him a mild and nourishing breakfast in different ways every day. Only after watching him finish it would he feel relieved. When Jiang Xubai was concentrating on studying, Lu Ye would sit quietly next to him, either reading or answering questions, never disturbing him, but just looking at him secretly from time to time, his eyes full of unconcealable love. When Jiang Xubai had a cold and cough, Lu Ye would immediately run to the canteen, buy warm ginger tea, and awkwardly hand it to him, saying "Don't infect it to me", but his eyes were full of unconcealable concern. When the weather is cold in winter, Jiang Xubai's hands tend to get cold, so Lu Ye will grab his hand, wrap it tightly with his own, and use his own body temperature to warm his cold fingertips. When Jiang Xubai gave Lu Ye tutoring lessons, Lu Ye was also very serious, trying hard to understand every knowledge point and answer every question carefully. His grades also improved little by little, from the bottom of the original grade to the middle. Such changes surprised the head teacher and teachers of various subjects. Everyone could see that Lu Ye was different from Jiang Xubai. He gave Jiang Xubai all his tenderness, all his patience, and all his goodness without reservation. And Jiang Xubai has always used his own way to silently protect and take care of Lu Ye. He will remember all Lu Ye's preferences, and will gently help Lu Ye put on his coat when he is sleeping to prevent him from catching a cold; he will patiently guide and encourage Lu Ye when he is confused and lost; and when Lu Ye encounters difficulties, he will stand by his side for the first time and accompany him to face it together. He would sort out Lu Ye's test papers one by one and explain the wrong questions over and over again until he completely mastered them; when Lu Ye was unhappy, he would quietly accompany him, listen to his words, and give him warmth. The two teenagers accompany each other, take care of each other, and warm each other. In their youthful campus time, they are quietly brewing full of love, and their heartbeat is already self-evident. This tenderness exclusive to each other, this love hidden in daily details, can no longer be concealed. The study life in the senior year of high school is tense and busy. The classroom is always filled with the atmosphere of answering questions, and everyone is working hard for the college entrance examination. The classroom for evening self-study was so quiet that only the rustling of the pen tip across the paper and the occasional buzz of insects outside the window were left. Lu Ye looked at Jiang Xubai next to him who was lowering his head to answer questions, at his focused brows, and at his slightly frowned brows. His heart was filled with joy and anxiety. He likes Jiang Xubai for a long, long time. From the tender wrong-titled book at the beginning, to the tilted umbrella on a rainy day, to the desperate guard in the alley, this love has deepened and settled little by little, and has already penetrated deep into his bones, occupying his entire heart. But he never dared to confess. He was afraid that he was not good enough, that Jiang Xubai would not like him, that after the confession, the two of them would not be able to have sex together, and that he would lose this hard-won warmth and companionship. He struggled for a long time and was worried for a long time. Finally, he mustered up all his courage on this evening self-study night. Lu Ye took out a clean piece of paper, held the pen tightly, and his palms were so nervous that they were all sweaty. He drew one stroke at a time and carefully wrote down his feelings on the piece of paper. His handwriting was not neat, but it was full of seriousness and anxiety. Every stroke of his handwriting was filled with all his love. [Jiang Xubai, I like you for a long, long time. It was just a short sentence, but Lu Ye wrote it for a long, long time. After he finished writing, he clutched the note tightly, his heart beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest. He was so nervous that his whole body was shaking slightly, his cheeks were red, and the tips of his ears were hot. He took deep breaths repeatedly, but he still couldn't calm down the anxiety in his heart. He secretly turned his head and glanced at Jiang Xubai, who was focusing on writing questions next to him. After hesitating for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and carefully pushed the note in front of Jiang Xubai. Jiang Xubai noticed the movement in front of him, stopped the pen in his hand, and looked down at the note. When he saw the handwriting on the note and the straightforward and uneasy confession, his body froze slightly, the fingers holding the pen tightened slightly, and a trace of surprise, a trace of tenderness, and a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes. He slowly raised his head and looked at Lu Ye beside him. Lu Ye had buried his head in his arms for a long time, not daring to look at him. His whole head was buried deeply, the tips of his ears were red, and his whole body was filled with unconcealable tension and anxiety, like a frightened little beast, waiting for the final judgment. Seeing his nervous and shy look, Jiang Xubai's heart was instantly filled with tenderness, his eyes were full of smiles, and his heart was filled with joy. In fact, he didn't like Lu Ye. From the rebellious but soft-spoken boy when they first met, to the boy who changed little by little and looked at him all over, Lu Ye's every move and every tenderness had been deeply imprinted in his heart. He likes Lu Ye's sincerity, likes Lu Ye's purity, likes how he is full of himself, and likes his persistence in trying to be better for himself. This love has already become deeply ingrained in our companionship and getting along with each other day after day. Jiang Xubai picked up the pen and gently wrote his response on the piece of paper. The handwriting was neat and neat, full of tenderness and firmness. [Lu Ye, I am too, I have liked you for a long time. After finishing writing, he gently pushed the note back to Lu Ye. Lu Ye lay in his arms and waited for a long time. He didn't hear Jiang Xubai's voice for a long time. He felt more and more uneasy and lost, thinking that Jiang Xubai had rejected him. The tip of his nose felt sour and he almost shed tears. Just when he was filled with disappointment, he finally felt the note being pushed back. He slowly raised his head, too nervous to open his eyes. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the note. When he saw the delicate handwriting on the note and the sentence "Me too, I have liked you for a long time", Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, his pupils dilated slightly, and his eyes were full of unbelievable surprise. He was not denied! Jiang Xubai also likes him! The huge surprise and joy instantly overwhelmed Lu Ye. All the tension, anxiety, and uneasiness disappeared at this moment, leaving only full happiness and sweetness. He raised his head suddenly and looked at Jiang Xubai, his eyes sparkling, full of excitement and joy, his cheeks were red, and his heartbeat was so fast that it seemed to explode. Jiang Xubai looked at his surprised and bright-eyed look, with a gentle smile on his lips, his eyes so gentle that they could drip water, and he looked straight at him with firm and affectionate eyes. Under the light, the two teenagers looked at each other and smiled. No more words were needed. All their love and intentions were completely clear at this moment. The heartbeat that had been hidden in my heart for a long time finally received the most satisfactory response this night. The youthful love between young people is pure and passionate, and the tenderness exclusive to each other finally turns into the most affectionate confession. From now on, the unruly wildness belongs only to the gentle whiteness, and the love that goes in both directions will eventually shine with the most dazzling light in youth. Chapter 6 The rest of my life is long, walking with you The college entrance examination is getting closer and closer, and a tense atmosphere envelopes the entire campus. Everyone is working hard for their own future. Lu Ye and Jiang Xubai still sat side by side, accompanying each other, encouraging each other, solving questions together, making up lessons together, and working towards the same goal together. Lu Ye's grades, with Jiang Xubai's help and his own efforts, have improved rapidly. He has already gotten rid of the last place, has reached above the undergraduate level, and even hopes to be admitted to a good university. He is no longer the ignorant and idle school bully. He has goals and motivation, and all of this was brought to him by Jiang Xubai. Jiang Xubai is still the top student with top grades. His goal is to be the top university in the country, and Lu Ye is also trying to catch up with him. He wants to be admitted to the university in the same city as him, and wants to continue to be by his side and run into the future with him. In their spare time, they would stroll along the sycamore path on campus, watching the sunset and the sycamore leaves falling in the wind, sharing their thoughts with each other and looking forward to their future life. They would hold hands and walk on the way home from school, feeling the warmth of each other's palms and enjoying each other's quiet time. They didn't need too many words, as long as they had each other by their side, they felt at ease. They would sit side by side in the library, study together, work hard together, and occasionally look at each other, their eyes full of love and tenderness that cannot be hidden, and all their efforts have meaning. Occasionally, like ordinary lovers, they would secretly share a gentle kiss in a deserted corner, feel each other's heartbeats, and enjoy this young and passionate love. There are no earth-shattering vows, no vigorous actions, only a steady stream of companionship, only sincere care, and only the unique one in each other's eyes. The college entrance examination is coming as scheduled. The moment they walked into the examination room, Lu Ye and Jiang Xubai looked at each other, their eyes full of encouragement and trust. They fight side by side and go all out for each other and the future. The two-day exam ended soon. When the bell rang for the last exam, when everyone put down their pens, and walked out of the examination room, the whole campus was boiling. Three years of high school finally came to an end. There is reluctance, nostalgia, longing for the future, and concern for each other. On the day when the college entrance examination results came out, Lu Ye and Jiang Xubai checked the results together. Jiang Xubai was admitted to a top university in Beijing with excellent results, and Lu Ye lived up to expectations and was admitted to another very good university in Beijing. The two schools are very close to each other. The moment they learned the results, the two teenagers looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of joy and excitement. Finally, they can continue to stay in the same city, continue to be by each other's side, and continue to rush to their future. On the day of the graduation ceremony, the sun was just right and the breeze was not dry. Everyone was wearing neat school uniforms, taking graduation photos and taking commemorative photos. The campus was full of reluctance. Lu Ye and Jiang Xubai stood side by side, wearing the same school uniforms, their eyebrows full of tenderness and determination. The moment the camera freezes, the two quietly hold each other's hands, their fingertips intertwined, their hearts connected, their eyes full of love for each other and expectations for the future. After the graduation ceremony, they came to the campus under the plane tree. This was the place where their hearts first moved and where they left countless beautiful memories. Lu Ye held Jiang Xubai's hand tightly and looked at him, his eyes serious and affectionate, and his tone firm: "Jiang Xubai, three years of high school, thank you for appearing in my life, thank you for changing me, thank you for staying with me." "From now on, we will always be in the same city, go to college together, graduate together, work together, and walk through every step of the rest of our lives together." "I like you, not only in my youth, but also in the years to come and the rest of my life. I just want to be with you and never be apart for the rest of my life." Jiang Xubai held his hand back, with a gentle smile in his eyes, and a firm and affectionate voice: "Okay, the rest of our lives will be long, we will walk together, and we will never be separated for the rest of our lives." The wind rustled through the sycamore leaves, as if to bear witness to them. The unruly wild meets the warm and clear white. It is destiny, a two-way redemption, and the love of a lifetime. They went from tit-for-tat to falling in love with each other, from being alone to running in both directions. In the most beautiful youth, they met the best each other and gained the purest love. The wild ashes meet with whiteness, and they will finally achieve perfection. For the rest of their lives, in spring, summer, autumn and winter, in the morning and dusk, in the mountains, lakes and seas, and in the cycle of four seasons, they will work side by side, accompany each other, warm each other, protect each other, and make every ordinary day the happiest life for them. This love that began in midsummer will eventually span the years and rush to eternity, year after year, and never end. - I keep a distance from everyone, but for you, I am willing to make an exception, to get close, and to indulge.
