Chapter 10
"What book is this?"
Zheng Hao's attention was all on the words, and the book in his hand was suddenly taken away. He frowned helplessly and looked at Xiang Wei beside him, "Prose collection."
"A collection of essays? Who wrote them?"
"You won't remember even if you say it, why are you talking about him?"
Xiang Wei curled his lips and held Zheng Hao in his arms and said, "That's... what's written in it?"
Zheng Hao put his head on Xiang Wei's shoulder and stared at the ceiling in a daze, "Well...something that human beings have been studying, but they have never studied and understood."
"what is that?"
"Love."
"whispering sound!"
"What are you talking about!"
"boring."
"How can it be boring!"
"Why isn't it boring? Love is something that can only be truly experienced through practical actions. What's the use of just reading these words?"
Zheng Hao snatched back the book, "But I think what's written here is quite reasonable... You see, it's written here, if you love someone, you should turn yourself into the perfect image in the other's mind."
Xiang Wei glanced at the name of the prose, the perfect lover, "What the hell is this! If you love someone, you have to change yourself into what the other person likes? Is that still love?"
"Ok?"
Xiang Wei gently pinched Zheng Hao's chin, "You are so stupid, if you love someone, you must first be yourself."
"be yourself?"
"Yes, myself, if you change yourself into another person, is it still you?"
"But if you are yourself, will the other party still like it?"
"It's better if you don't like it! Then find someone who can love the real you."
Zheng Haoyu is in the cloud, making changes for the one he likes, and making sacrifices is not right?
Xiang Wei let go of his chin and pinched his nose instead.
"Ah! Why are you pinching my nose again!"
"Because you owe me! I used to think you were not smart, but after knowing you for a long time, I realized that you are stupid."
"Why do you... um..." Zheng Hao's rebuttal words reached his lips but were sealed by Xiang Wei's kiss.
The day before Xiang Wei's birthday, Zheng Hao met Liu Li again.
Zheng Hao packed his schoolbag. Xiang Wei had already told him that he had an appointment with his friends after school, so today he could only go home by himself. He saw Liu Li standing there just as he left the school gate. Zheng Haojue's sure she was not waiting He, so he was going to walk past her, but he didn't succeed.
"Zheng Hao."
"Huh?" Zheng Hao looked at the slender arms on his chest, it was the first time he was stopped by a girl's name.
"Tomorrow is Xiang Wei's birthday."
"I know."
"He told you to have a birthday party at home, so you must come, right?"
"Ah."
"do not go."
"why."
"Hey...no reason, you just don't go anyway!"
"If you don't tell me why, then I will definitely go, and...Xiang Wei's birthday is very important to me."
"But……"
"Just say this, if there is nothing else, then I'll go first."
Zheng Hao lowered his head and pushed his glasses and walked forward.
"Wait a minute!"
"What's the matter?" Zheng Hao stopped, but didn't look back. Liu Li behind her was so angry that she wanted to eat someone.
Liu Li stomped her feet habitually in anxiety, "I...I don't want to see you get hurt!"
Zheng Hao looked back at Liu Li in a daze, "You..."
Liu Li bit her lower lip, her heart was beating fast, she felt that she was so ashamed, she just wanted to remind Zheng Hao, why did it look like she was confessing, "As a...friend, I don't want you to get hurt."
Zheng Hao slowly looked away and looked at the trees on the side of the road, "Friend...what a strange word..."
"Yes, you helped me last time...I think you're not bad, so...so from now on you are my friend Liu Li."
Zheng Hao turned around and looked at her, "I should feel honored, right?"
"It's...it's not necessary..."
"Thank you."
"Huh? What are you thanking me for?" Liu Li was a little confused by Zheng Hao's sudden thank you.
"Thank you for being my friend, you are my first female friend."
"Female friend? Who is the male friend?"
"Who else could it be?"
"Okay! But you don't want it tomorrow..." Liu Li found herself asking an extremely idiotic question, who else could it be?
"Liu Li, I don't regret it."
"Ah?" Liu Li was confused again by Zheng Hao's no regrets, "What are you?"
"No matter what happens, I have no regrets, thank you, my friend."
"but……"
"Goodbye." Zheng Hao didn't give her a chance to speak, turned and left.
Liu Li who stayed behind looked at Zheng Hao's back, "Why is this person so stupid."
The next day Zheng Hao came to his house with the gift prepared for Xiang Wei. He stood at the door and did not ring the doorbell. Yesterday Liu Li’s words were still echoing in his ears. It would be a lie to say that he didn’t care at all, but Zheng Hao doesn't want to break the current happiness, and today is Xiang Wei's birthday, a birthday worth celebrating, what else can he do to be unhappy?
Zheng Hao took a deep breath and raised his hand to press the doorbell.
"Ding dong..."
"Come on!" Xiang Wei opened the door and saw that Zheng Hao was in a daze for a second or two, "Zheng Hao, why did you come here?"
"Sorry, I'm late."
"It's okay, come in quickly." Xiang Wei moved aside to let Zheng Hao let him out.
Zheng Hao walked in and blinked at Xiang Wei, but Xiang Wei didn't look at him and turned to enter the room.
Zheng Hao took off his shoes and frowned strangely. He felt that Xiang Wei was weird today. He hadn't looked at himself since we met.
Zheng Hao walked into the living room. There were many people in the living room, some he had seen and some he hadn't seen. Their eyes were all focused on Zheng Hao. Zheng Hao didn't like the feeling of being scrutinized.
"Come, come, everyone, be quiet, Zheng Hao is here, and everyone is here!" Xiang Wei said to everyone with his arms around Zheng Hao's shoulders.
Zheng Hao didn't listen carefully to what Xiang Wei was saying, it was nothing more than a few polite words, his eyes were completely attracted by the cake on the table in the living room.
It was a three-tiered chocolate cake with two candles in the shapes of 1 and 8.
Then everyone began to give out their own gifts, Zheng Hao quietly hid in the kitchen, Xiang Wei’s friends gave either expensive watches, or limited edition sneakers, each worth several thousand, he wrinkled in shame Eyebrow, and what he prepared is that the ring cannot be given away in front of others.
"What are you doing here? Come here and cut the cake." Xiang Wei found Zheng Hao in the kitchen.
"Nothing, I'll go right away."
"Wait." Xiang Wei stopped Zheng Hao.
"what?"
"I want a gift." Xiang Wei put his arms around Zheng Hao's waist.
"Xiang Wei, let go! There are still people outside, if you see them..."
"If you are seen, you will be seen, so what?"
"..." Zheng Hao stared at him blankly, unable to refute.
"I want a present!"
Zheng Hao thought of the ring, and he decided to give it away when there was no one else, "Didn't you say that I don't need to prepare a gift, as long as I arrive."
"You really didn't prepare a gift?"
"Ah."
"Forget it, if you are not prepared, you are not prepared, but you can make up for it."
"What do I have to make up for?"
"Hiss! Can you stop talking back to me! Give me a kiss as a punishment."
"what?"
"And it must be in front of everyone in the room."
"Impossible!" Zheng Hao turned around and was about to run, but the hands on his waist didn't intend to let him go. Zheng Hao felt a little pain from being strangled. He raised his head and found that Xiang Wei was serious, "Are you serious?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
"But if they know about our relationship..."
"I'm almost graduating, big brother! Who will know who after graduation?"
"But……"
Xiang Wei let go of Zheng Hao and nodded his face, "You make your own decision, anyway, today is my birthday."
"Xiang Wei..."
Zheng Hao stood where he was, why was he so uneasy?
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
After Jin Teng and Lin Xuan sang the birthday song, Xiang Wei finally laughed, "Hahahahahaha, can you two sing more ugly! Hahahahahaha..."
Jin Teng gave Xiang Wei a hard push, "Go! We wouldn't sing if it wasn't for you!"
"that is!"
"That's no one's fault. I said I don't need to sing. You two insist on singing. You see, no one else sang." Xiang Wei pointed to other people around him.
Lin Xuan said: "That's enough, that's enough! Singing the birthday song to you can give us some satisfied expressions."
"My smile proves that I am satisfied? Don't you see that?"
Jin Lin and the two said in unison, "I didn't see it!"
"Hahaha... I won't quarrel with you anymore, I'll blow out the candles."
Jin Teng gritted his teeth and said, "We didn't make trouble with you either!"
At this time, the lights in the living room were turned off, and the candles on the cake were lit. Xiang Wei closed his eyes and silently made a wish, then opened his eyes and blew out the candles. During this period, Zheng Hao stood beside him and looked at him seriously, as if doing something making any major decisions.
"Okay I'm done blowing out the candles, turn on the lights!"
When the light was turned on, it was a bit dazzling for a while, and everyone's eyes were not quite used to the sudden light.
At this time, Xiang Wei felt someone pat on the shoulder, and just as he was about to turn his head, he felt a gentle touch on his right cheek by a familiar lip.
"My God!"
"what are you doing!"
"gross!"
"So you're gay!"
For a while, Zheng Hao became the target of attack by everyone in the room. He also knew that this would be the result, so he cast a look at Xiang Wei for help, but the latter didn't look at him, but showed a look that made him feel extremely strange. Smile.
"Everyone, calm down, calm down, this is just a joke we played with Zheng Hao, it scares you." Xiang Wei turned to Jin Teng and Lin Xuan after speaking to everyone and stretched out his hand.
Both Jin Teng and Lin Xuan took out the same thing, money, from their pockets.
"All right! Let us lose."
Zheng Hao looked at the three of them stupidly, what was Xiang Wei talking about just now?What a joke, why did the two of them give Xiang Wei money?
"What's wrong with Xiang Wei..." Zheng Hao grabbed Xiang Wei's hand and wanted to ask clearly, but Xiang Wei threw it away.
"Don't touch me." Xiang Wei said indifferently.
"Why..." Zheng really didn't like Xiang Wei like this, where did that Xiang Wei who would smile gently at him go?Why is it gone?
"Why are you looking at me like this? Oh! You see, I forgot to explain to you. I bet them that they will catch up with you, a piece of trash before graduation."
"waste?"
"Yeah, trash, you're almost graduating and you still don't know your nickname in school? Oh, by the way, I also want to thank you for your cooperation during this time. Without your help, I wouldn't be able to win today. "Xiang Wei slightly raised his eyebrows and shook the money in Zheng Hao's hand.
Zheng laughed out loud, but at first glance he was holding on, "Xiang Wei, you are joking, you really like me, right?"
"Can you stop dreaming, how could Xiang Wei like men, he likes women! I was not sure about your sexual orientation, but now I am sure, you are a homosexual at all!" Jin Teng came to Zheng Hao He tapped his forehead and said.
Jin Teng's words completely shattered Zheng Hao's only calmness. Jin Teng revealed the secret he had kept in his heart all along. He liked men, but Zheng Hao had no power to fight back because he was indeed a homosexual.
Zheng Hao kept backing away, he wanted to leave this place, he no longer wanted to know what the truth was, he found that everyone was looking at him, but their eyes were full of disgust.
Zheng Hao turned around and pushed away the people behind him and ran towards the door. He opened the door and rushed out without even changing his shoes.
"Zheng Hao..."
"Leave him alone, a big man is fine, and he has nothing to lose, and he has gained a lot from dating you!" Lin Xuan stopped him and said.
At this time, a girl beside them came over, "Xiang Wei, were you really betting just now? Are you betting that he will like you?"
Lin Xuan shrugged, "Of course, how could Xiang Wei like men, even if he likes men, he can't be that trash."
The girl breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm scared to death, you better not provoke him in the future, he is really gay in this way, Xiang Wei really wronged you."
"That's right! It's hard for our handsome Xiang Da!"
Xiang Wei didn't listen to what they said at all, he kept looking at the opened door, he felt that he did nothing wrong, everything was just a joke to Zheng Hao, but there was a voice in his heart that kept clamoring.
"I hope you won't regret it."
