Lovely Allergen - Chap 35
ong Yu’s life after the college entrance exam was not much more interesting than before.
He still woke up early every day, carried his bag, and went to the provincial library for the whole day. He would return home in the afternoon to eat, and when he had nothing to do at night, he would play games in his room. It was so monotonous that it did not seem like the daily life of an eighteen -year-old boy.
A fifteen-year-old boy’s interests and hobbies were obviously much wider, but Le Zhishi did not have time to make his life happy. All of his time was squeezed into his studies. The high school entrance exam was getting closer and closer, and he, who was usually not nervous, was forced to be nervous like everyone else.
The Song family was obviously more nervous about him taking the high school entrance exam than Song Yu. In order to make it easier to send him there, Lin Rong went a few days in advance to find out the route to the exam venue and plan the recipes for the exam. She was afraid that Le Zhishi would have an allergic reaction or get a stomachache.
During the recipe experiment, Song Yu reluctantly ate all the recipes. As the biological son, he was treated as a free guinea pig for his younger son, and he was not allowed to resist.
The night before the exam, Le Zhishi came home from school early. Lin Rong gave him a long list of things to take note of, and told him to look at the list again after dinner to avoid forgetting to take them. Le Zhishi felt that they were exaggerating, but even Song Jin, who had always been very Buddhist, felt that this kind of worry was justified.
Song Yu was the only one in the family who did not seem to care about Le Zhishi’s exam.
This stark contrast made Le Zhishi feel a little frustrated.
He felt that Song Yu did not care about him as much as he cared about him.
After dinner, Lin Rong urged him to go upstairs to take a shower. “You have to sleep early today, okay? It’s not a joke that you can’t sleep well. ”
Le Zhishi nodded and got up. When he was about to go upstairs, he heard Lin Rong teasing Song Yu, “Yu, why do you run to the library every day? Don’t tell me you’re going on a date with a girl you like?”
Song Yu said expressionlessly, “You can follow me.”
“That would be boring.” Lin Rong put the bowls and chopsticks into the dishwasher. “I’m just curious. You’re an adult now, but you really don’t have anyone you like in school?”
Song Yu was silent, but his expression was more like he was ignoring this kind of gossip.
Lin Rong automatically took this as a denial, so she sighed and said, “You’re not like me. I’ve had a boy I liked since elementary school.”
Le Zhishi shuffled upstairs to the bedroom. Lin Rong even put a change of pajamas on the bed for him.
He didn’t know why, but Lin Rong’s teasing words to Song Yu kept echoing in his mind. He was a little absent-minded. After entering the bathroom, he took off his clothes and took a shower. The water poured down from his head, wetting his hair and eyelashes. Everything in front of him was foggy, white, and gray. Then he imagined a scene where Song Yu met a girl in the provincial library. It was a very cliché plot. For example, the two of them happened to meet on opposite sides of the bookshelf on the same level, happened to like the same book, and then happened to pick up the book at the same time.
This kind of plot seemed to appear often in shoujo manga, but Le Zhishi didn’t like shoujo manga.
He also didn’t like the girl who urged Song Yu to go to the library, even if she didn’t exist.
This slightly vicious thought appeared for less than a second before it was shattered by a knock on the door. Le Zhishi wiped his face and turned off the water.
“Who is it?”
“It’s me.” It was Song Yu’s voice. “You’re taking a shower? Then I’ll come back later. ”
“I’m done showering!”
Le Zhishi quickly wiped the water off his body and casually dried his hair. When he came out of the shower area, he didn’t find his pajamas in the dry area.
Usually, he would put them on the shelf.
Song Yu stood at the door and waited. Suddenly, the bathroom door opened a small crack. He thought he was going to come out, but unexpectedly, a white hand stretched out from the small crack. It was still steaming. Song Yu couldn’t help but walk over to see what he wanted. As soon as he stood at the door, Le Zhishi’s hand grabbed the hem of his clothes.
The accuracy of Le Zhishi’s grip on the clothes was like the mechanical hand in the Gold Digger movie that grabbed the stones. Every grab was accurate. After tugging for a while, he realized that something was wrong. He immediately let go and reached into the crack.
“What are you doing?”
“I …” Le Zhishi hid behind the door, only revealing a pair of eyes, a neck with water droplets, and a small part of her collarbone. “I forgot to take my clothes. Are they on the shelf at the door?”
Song Yu looked away and sluggishly looked around. “No.”
Le Zhishi suddenly remembered. “They’re on the bed! Brother, can you help me get them? ”
Song Yu went inside and took out his pajamas. He handed them to him and stood by his desk, waiting for him to finish dressing.
Le Zhishi, who had just taken a shower, was emitting soft steam. His hair was still a little wet. He ran out barefoot and stepped on the floor. He was only a head taller than Song Yu, but Song Yu always felt that he had a natural innocence.
He knew that most of the time, people socialized based on their expectations of others. These expectations were images in their imagination. They were subjective attributes of nothingness, such as kindness, elegance, and innocence.
He knew these, but he still insisted that Le Zhishi was pure.
“Why are you looking for me?” Le Zhishi raised his face slightly and looked at him. His eyelashes were still wet, like the morning dew on the tips of leaves.
Song Yu finally remembered why he had come. He walked to the door and brought in the small cardboard box. He placed it on the floor where Le Zhishi was standing. “This is what I organized after I graduated. Some of the notes might be useful to you. You can keep them and read them.” After that, he lowered his head and took out two things from his pocket. One was the amulet Le Zhishi had given him that day, and the other was a pen.
“This is the pen I usually use. It’s quite easy to write. You can use it as a backup pen.” After that, Song Yu told him to rest early and turned to leave. However, Le Zhishi stopped him. “What’s this?”
Song Yu turned around and saw him squatting on the floor with the handmade sketchbook in his hand. He tilted his head in confusion.
“This … I bought it before. I bought it by mistake and never used it.”
“Where did you buy it? The quality of the sketchbook is so good! Did you really give it to me? “Le Zhishi stood up with the sketchbook in his arms.
Song Yu gave a muffled grunt, turned around, and left.
Le Zhishi felt that he was a little familiar.
It was just like Ju Zi, who always pretended to be disgusted when she was rubbed until she felt good. She was also like this, letting out a muffled grunt from her throat.
Le Zhishi held the sketchbook in one hand and the amulet and pen in the other. He lowered his head and looked at them carefully. There was nothing on the front of the amulet. It was the same as when he had given it away. However, when he flipped it over, he realized that there were words written on the back. It was Song Yu’s handwriting.
“Always successful,” he read softly.
He thought that he would write something like “Good luck for the exam.”
It was not just the exam. Song Yu hoped that nothing in his life would not go smoothly.
Hugging the many gadgets he had obtained from Song Yu, Le Zhishi was satisfied. He lay down on his soft bed.
His heart sank a little.
When the exam came, Le Zhishi had an easier time than he had imagined. The questions were not as complicated as the mock questions from training. The math questions were slightly more difficult, but he was very lucky. The last two big questions were questions that he had recorded in his error-correcting notebook. Moreover, Song Yu had explained them to him before, so they left a deep impression on him.
The most important thing was that the pen that Song Yu had given him had played a huge role. The pen that he had brought with him was not smooth. It was the same for several of them. He had just bought a new pen, so the quality was probably not good.
Fortunately, he had Song Yu’s pen.
After several exams, Le Zhishi felt that he had performed well and was in a good mood. In the last match, he also checked until the last second.
The sun was shining brightly outside the exam hall. As soon as Le Zhishi came out, he was seen by Lin Rong, who was holding an umbrella. She went forward to take him back to the car.
“It’s hot. Good boy, get in the car and enjoy the air-conditioning.”
Le Zhishi opened the car door. He did not expect Song Yu to be there too. He never dreamed that he would come to pick him up on such a hot day.
“Brother Song Yu, why are you here?”
The tone of his question completely revealed his overjoyed attitude. Song Jin, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, joked, “It’s a coincidence today. I was going to sign the contract, but the representative of Party A suddenly had an emergency and signed the contract in advance. Yu also said that he had something to do at the library, so he didn’t go in the afternoon. ”
For the first time, Song Yu took the initiative to add, “The renovation can only be lent out.”
This was excellent news for Le Zhishi. There was no room for doubt when it came to good news. But it was followed by bad news.
“We can’t go to Japan anymore?” Le Zhishi leaned against the back of the seat like a deflated balloon. “I’ve already prepared a strategy.”
He looked at the restaurants that he could go to with his brother and the surrounding shops that he liked.
There was also Mount Fuji that his brother should like very much.
Now, it was all gone.
Lin Rong also leaned against the front passenger seat. “Sigh, who would have thought that there would be a typhoon warning, and it would last for so long.”
Song Jin enlightened them. “Safety first, safety first.”
The trip to Japan was temporarily put on hold. Le Zhishi was depressed for a long time because of this. On the third day after the exam, their classmates organized a dinner party to KTV. Le Zhishi was originally not interested, but Jiang Yufan called two hours before the party.
“Around One Piece? The limited edition one? Are you serious? ” Le Zhishi was very surprised. Under Lin Rong’s feeding, he ate a large piece of watermelon, the one in the middle.
“Then I’ll go too. Wait for me.” Le Zhishi hung up the phone and went upstairs with satisfaction. When he went downstairs, he was holding a basketball that he had bought a long time ago to give to Jiang Yufan.
“You’re going to play basketball?” Lin Rong asked.
“This is the graduation gift I bought for Jiang Yufan. I’ll give it to him when we have dinner later.” Le Zhishi showed off in advance. “Jiang Yufan bought me the limited edition peripheral that I’ve always wanted. I was going to go to Japan to buy it myself.”
Lin Rong used a round spoon to scoop out a plate full of watermelon pulp. “That’s great. I’ll invite Little Jiang to our house for dinner in a few days.”
Le Zhishi left for half an hour before Song Yu came out of the room. Lin Rong was about to bring him the iced watermelon when they met at the stairs.
“You’re just in time. Eat the watermelon.” Lin Rong pulled him to the dining room and sat down. She thought of something and scolded him. “You’re just staying at home all day. Your brother is going out to dinner with his classmates.”
Song Yu looked up at the time. “Dinner? Where? ”
Le Zhishi would always tell his family the time and place before he went out. This time was no exception. Lin Rong told Song Yu the location. Song Yu only felt that it was a little familiar.
The dinner venue was a KTV with a buffet dinner. Le Zhishi went in later than the others. Everyone had already started eating and drinking.
“Le is here!”
“Le, come here. Sit here.”
Most of the boys and girls in junior high school matured early. Even in a huge private room, everyone sat separately. The girls who played well were grouped together, while the boys gathered in a corner. The lighting here was not very good. Le Zhishi carefully walked to the innermost part and met up with Jiang Yufan.
Jiang Yufan saw that he was really holding a basketball in his hand and felt very proud. He pulled Le Zhishi to his side and took out his gift. The other boys next to them were very envious.
“You two are really close.”
“This basketball is not bad. Let’s go play a few games later.”
Le Zhishi actually did not like places like KTV. It was very noisy. When there were a lot of people, they liked to make noise and joke about things that Le Zhishi did not like. However, Jiang Yufan was here. Moreover, his new peripheral was very well-made. Le Zhishi observed carefully under the light of the big KTV screen. He did not even hear Jiang Yufan when he went to the bathroom.
There were two or three boys in the class who were very precocious. They fell in love, smoked, and fought. KTV was simply their home ground. Le Zhishi was a little hungry. He took a small piece of apple from Jiang Yufan’s buffet plate and stuffed it into his mouth. He had just chewed two mouthfuls when he saw the boys coming towards him.
“Le is here. Why aren’t you singing?”
Le Zhishi shook his head and vaguely said that he was not very good at singing. The few of them held glasses and squeezed out the people around Le Zhishi. They sat down. One of them even had a cigarette between his fingers. In the dim space, a red dot of light shone.
The smell of smoke made Le Zhishi’s throat uncomfortable. He tried to cough to clear his throat, but the effect was not good.
“My smoke choked you.” The male student who was smoking stabbed the cigarette butt on the table and extinguished it. He then clapped his hands. “Look at your cough. Your face is red.”
Le Zhishi’s throat was still uncomfortable. He wanted to drink some water. There were many glasses on the table, and they all looked the same. He took the one closest to Jiang Yufan’s plate. He took a sip and found that something was wrong. It tasted of alcohol.
“This is my beer.”
“Ah?” Le Zhishi quickly put it down and coughed a few times. “You are still underage. You can’t drink.”
The few of them all laughed. Le Zhishi felt that he was being laughed at again. The boy on the right joked, “Le is a good boy. Don’t smoke and drink in front of others. You are acting like a little hooligan.”
“How am I a hooligan? I didn’t teach him to do bad things. Didn’t I just choke him?”
“You can teach him hand sex.”
As soon as this sentence was said, the boys around them all laughed. Only Le Zhishi was puzzled. He did not understand what was going on. He asked with a naive face, “What is hand sex?”
Everyone knew that Le Zhishi was a late bloomer and had a simple personality, but they did not expect him to be so simple.
“Damn, you are going to high school. You don’t even know this!”
“This is too funny. There is actually a boy who doesn’t know what hand sex is?”
Their fuss made Le Zhishi a little unhappy. He felt that he was a fool in their eyes. He lowered his head and took out his phone. “I will know after I check.”
“Don’t.” The boy who was smoking grabbed his arm. “Anyway, we have nothing to do. Let’s give you a sex education class.”
Le Zhishi was carried out by a few people just like that.
The so-called sex education class was actually in a small private room with no one around. A boy took out his collection of indescribable websites for everyone to see.
“This looks good. This figure is good.”
“You brat, your inventory is really good.”
Le Zhishi looked at it very seriously with a learning attitude. He felt that the feedback of the boys around him was too excited. However, these explicit images still caused a big visual impact on him.
The boy who was smoking bumped Le Zhishi’s shoulder and deliberately teased him. “Is it exciting?”
Le Zhishi answered honestly, “It’s okay.”
“This is not exciting.” He shook his head. “You don’t have any problems, do you?”
He reached out and wanted to touch Le Zhishi’s lower part. Le Zhishi was so scared that he fell to the right. In a panic, someone’s hand accidentally touched the advertisement. The video that was playing jumped to another screen. A huge animation of the advertisement appeared on the screen.
“F * ck, who did this?”
“You are sick. You like this kind of thing? I have to stay away from you. ”
“Damn, it’s really not me. I don’t know how it jumped.”
Everyone’s attention shifted to the phone screen. Le Zhishi was free. He sat up on the sofa and glanced at the content on the screen. To be honest, it was no different from the video just now. The only difference was that the female character from before had turned into a man. He was very thin, very white, and did not resist.
Le Zhishi’s heart rate suddenly accelerated. It was as if there were many small needles pricking his face. His whole body was electrified.
“I’m dying of laughter. A real man is a strong man!”
“Hurry up and change it back. I’m withering. Damn.”
He turned his face away, but the images did not disappear. Le Zhishi suddenly coughed violently. His face was red from coughing. The little bit of beer that he had just drunk burned down his throat. His whole body was hot.
He pushed away the classmates who came up to him and escaped from the smoky room.
Such a small amount of beer should not have caused such an intense allergic reaction. But he really felt hot and the air was thin. So he ran down the corridor and went downstairs to the door of the KTV. He wanted to breathe some fresh air.
To his surprise, he saw Song Yu’s back at the door. He was standing next to a parked black car.
Le Zhishi thought he was hallucinating. Just then, the window on the second floor opened. It was Qin Yan’s voice. “Song Yu, you’re not done yet? Don’t go. They’re smoking. You’ll still smell like smoke when you come up later.”
Song Yu looked up, but the first thing he saw was Le Zhishi standing at the door. He told Qin Yan that he would not go up first and then walked toward Le Zhishi.
“Why are you here?” Le Zhishi asked him from the steps at the door. Song Yu walked in front of him. Because of the steps, they were looking at each other at the same level for the first time.
“Same as you guys. A group activity.”
After Song Yu finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong with Le Zhishi. He put his hands in his pockets and moved his face closer to observe.
The distance between their noses suddenly shortened. His body exuded a very pleasant smell. It was the fragrance of the shower gel that Le Zhishi was familiar with, mixed with a little bit of mint smoke that had not yet dispersed.
Le Zhishi’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he restrained himself from thinking too much.
“What did you do? Why is your face so red?”
