My deskmate is always catching me [Rebirth]

Ye Cheng's soaked school uniform exuded a cold aura, and she shrank into the warm and strong embrace, her arms still tightly wrapped around the other person's waist.

His hand was so tight that Lu Xiao felt a little short of breath, and his heartbeat was louder than the thunder outside.

Boom, boom.

He lived seventeen years and never hugged anyone of the opposite sex except his mother, let alone the same sex.

The person in his arms lost his usual aloofness, and was like a wet kitten, trembling on his chest.

Lu Xiao's Adam's apple tightened and he stood there helplessly, not knowing whether to push him away or hugging him to comfort him.

It seems that nothing is appropriate.

Until the ‌ sound at the end of the corridor rang again.

"Oooh-meow-"

Weak and non-aggressive.

Ye Cheng gradually woke up, and the tone... seemed a bit familiar, not quite like the baby spirit in the ghost movie.

A hand patted his back. The gesture was very jerky, but the tone was very gentle: "Don't be afraid, there are often wild cats in the city."

Only then did he realize what he had done, his face turned red, and he quickly let go and took a step back.

He was about to die, so why did he hug him?

Lu Xiao patted his hand and hung it in the air, then took it back awkwardly.

Ye Cheng thought about the purpose of coming to his son, and temporarily put his panic behind him, and said to him: "Are you okay? Why did you come to the hospital?"

Lu Xiao originally asked him a question, but he asked him a question later.

Lu Xiao frowned at the dripping trousers and did not answer him, but suddenly reacted: "You... came to see me?"

"Yes, why don't I go on an outing in such heavy rain?" Ye Cheng said.

He lifted up his clothes uncomfortably, feeling sticky and uncomfortable all over his body, as if he was entangled in some soft body.

After hearing his words, Lu Xiao's breathing became messy, and the fist hanging by his side clenched and unclenched, as if he was suppressing some emotion.

Ye Cheng looked around and said, "There's not even anyone on night shift here."

He saw Lu Xiao coming in from the door, still carrying something in his hand, and asked: "You don't feel uncomfortable, do you want to call a doctor for you?"

"No, I'm not feeling uncomfortable." Lu Xiao's voice was slightly hoarse, hiding a hint of tenderness that even he himself didn't notice.

Ye Cheng looked at him carefully and asked tentatively: "Are you in a bad state of mind lately?"

He tried his best to be as tactful as possible.

Lu Xiao choked and finally understood what he meant.

"I'm fine, ‌... ‌ a relative is hospitalized." He said sarcastically.

Ye Cheng relaxed instantly, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground: "It turns out that ‌‌, I thought you were ‌."

"How do you know..."

Lu Xiao opened his mouth, and halfway through asking, Ye Cheng couldn't help but sneeze.

He had been soaked in the rain for a long time and was really freezing in a place with strong air conditioning.

Lu Xiao was wearing a jacket, so she immediately took it off and put it on him.

He obviously didn't do anything like that. His jacket was piled messily on Ye Cheng's shoulders.

Ye Cheng thanked him and took off his clothes and put them on.

"You wait for me in the room," Lu Xiao shook the plastic bag in his hand and said, "I'll go up and put something in, and then take you to the room."

As soon as they finished speaking, both of them felt something was wrong.

Ye Cheng touched his nose and said "Oh" ‌‌.

Lu Xiao said nothing more, turned around and walked towards the elevator entrance with an awkward expression.

While Ye Cheng was waiting for him, he sent a message to Gao Qiulan, telling her that it was raining too hard and that he would not go back.

It would have been difficult to take a taxi in this kind of weather, let alone in a place like Qingshan.

Gao Qiulan was indeed awake, so she replied asking him to pay attention to his safety and send her his location when he arrived at his residence.

Ye Cheng didn't want her to worry, so he agreed.

Five minutes later, Lu Xiao came down.

"There is only one umbrella upstairs, so I left that one up there." He said with empty hands.

Ye Cheng said: "Use mine, where are we going?"

On the way to the hospital, he vaguely remembered seeing a small hotel.

Lu Xiao said: "Let's go, it's not far from ‌."

"Don't you need a chaperone?" Ye Cheng asked him.

"No need." He lowered his head, as if he didn't want to say more.

When the two of them walked out of the door, strong winds and heavy rain hit their faces, and the rain made their arms hurt.

"It's raining heavily again." Lu Xiao couldn't help but say.

Ye Cheng returned his jacket to him and held up an umbrella against the strong wind.

He had to grab the handle of the umbrella with both hands to prevent the wind from knocking it over.

"Come on!" Because the thunderstorm was so heavy, Ye Cheng had to shout when he spoke.

Lu Xiao immediately moved closer to him, shoulder to shoulder.

The two of them huddled under an umbrella and stepped into the rain.

The water quickly swallowed up the uppers of the shoes, and heavy rain poured down on them.

The umbrella surface felt like it had been pressed down by a large basin of water, and even dented downwards.

"I'm so fucking convinced, I have to come here every summer and what the hell happens." The umbrella was still not big enough, and Lu Xiao was splashed with water on his face, and he said angrily and helplessly.

A flash of lightning flashed, and Ye Cheng saw his appearance clearly.

Wet hair covered his forehead, rainwater flowed from his forehead to his chin, and his dark eyes flashed with displeasure.

Like an angry puppy, Ye Cheng was amused by this idea.

He didn't know that he also had an analogy in the other person's mind, otherwise he would have started a quarrel on the spot.

Lu Xiao shook his hair, squinted his eyes and said, "Why are you laughing? You can still laugh."

His expression was a bit evil, and he was so handsome that people couldn't take their eyes off him.

Ye Cheng was walking in the blink of an eye and failed to grasp the angle at which he held the umbrella. The strong wind suddenly blew the umbrella over.

Hua la la, the rain poured down on my head.

‌After getting off the boat, both of them looked like they had just been fished out of the water.

"Ye Cheng! What are you doing?" Lu Xiao was so angry that her voice broke.

Ye Cheng couldn't help but laugh. Lu Xiao and he looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

They were like two fools, pointing at each other and laughing wildly in the rain.

The ribs of that umbrella were broken and could no longer be held up.

In the end, Lu Xiao had no choice but to cover their heads with his more than 20,000-yuan jacket and rush off in the rain.

Two pairs of slender legs jumped over every puddle, splashing with huge splashes of water and mud.

During the summer thunderstorm‌, they cuddled up and ran and laughed.

Soon, we arrived at the small hotel where Ye Cheng met.

A dilapidated light sign hangs at the door, with the words "Ruyi Hotel" written on it.

Why does it look like a red light district?

Lu Xiao stayed in ‌ last night because there was only this ‌ shop around.

At first, Ye Cheng was worried about whether he could check in without his ID card, but the hotel owner only asked him to handwrite his ID number.

The boss was an old man in his sixties. His cloudy and blue eyes swept back and forth between the two of them, constantly looking at them.

"Are you sure you want two rooms? Don't come to me to check out in the middle of the night if you think it's not worthwhile." He asked in Qingshan dialect.

His tone was as sharp as his appearance, and the hands he used to record information were covered in old spots, and he was as thin as if he had a layer of skin on his frame.

Lu Xiao said impatiently: "Two rooms. In addition, get a plate of mosquito coils and new towels."

He said to Ye Cheng: "There are a lot of mosquitoes here at night."

Ye Cheng noticed the surrounding environment. The moldy walls were covered with spider webs, and the ceiling had two cracks. Everywhere smelled of disrepair.

Wei’s boss is nagging and looks like he’s about to curse at anyone at any time.

While he was turning around to look for mosquito coils, Ye Cheng lowered his voice and said, "You're not a shady shop, are you?"

Lu Xiao glanced at him and said, "You have quite a rich imagination."

"Ten yuan." The boss tremblingly handed over the mosquito coil and towel. The mosquito coil was also the kind that needs to be lit with a lighter.

Lu Xiao scanned the QR code to pay and took Ye Cheng upstairs.

The boss stood at the front desk and looked at them, looking like a sculpture, which was very strange.

The corridor on the second floor was covered with dark red carpet, with oil stains on it and unknown hairs stuffed in the gaps.

The air smells like moisture mixed with disinfectant, which is not a pleasant smell.

I don't know whether it was because of the rain. Ye Cheng felt cold all over his body and felt very sick in his heart.

Until Lu Xiao took him to the last room and swiped his card to open the door.

"Here we are, you live in the room and I live next door to you."

Ye Cheng suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body.

Damn it! Legend has it that the last room is the most haunted!

The fateful last room!

He hesitated to speak, and the words that came to his lips were very hot.

Wouldn’t it be too cowardly if I asked to change rooms at this time...

He was scared to death by a wild cat just now, and he will change rooms soon. I guess Lu Xiao will laugh at him about it in the future.

——Forget it.

Lu Xiao helped him light up the room. There was a double room inside.

He skillfully took out the iron plate from the cabinet and lit the mosquito coil with a lighter.

The pungent smell filled the air, and Ye Cheng was choked to the point of coughing.

"It's enough to burn for an hour. Remember to put out the fire," Lu Xiao said.

Ye Cheng nodded.

The two of them stood face to face in the room, and the awkward feeling of being suppressed just now came back again.

Lu Xiao couldn't help feeling nervous and didn't know where to put her eyes and hands.

"I'm leaving first. Call me if you need anything." He said this and left in a hurry.

Ye Cheng actually wanted to find an excuse to keep him for a while, such as playing cards or something, at least until he finished taking a shower.

Now that Lu Xiao is gone, he has to take a bath alone.

Many people who love ghost movies and are timid have a common problem, that is, they will fantasize when they close their eyes.

Not only do you naturally like to think wildly, but you simply can't help it.

Ye Cheng almost collapsed under the shower head. He always felt that a pair of eyes were staring at him, blood red, and they were going to devour him in the next second.

After taking a quick shower, he ran out of the bathroom and found that he had no clean clothes.

Ye Cheng suddenly felt lucky that Lu Xiao was not here, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

He turned off all the lights and lay on the bed with half-dried hair on his head. His exposed skin was itchy due to the shoddy sheets.

I'm obviously very sleepy, but I still can't sleep.

The mobile phone signal is very poor and it keeps spinning in circles.

Ye Cheng tossed and turned for a while. Suddenly, there was a snap above his head, and the lights went out.

He was so startled that he rolled out of bed and sat upright in the dark.

The mobile phone plugged into the charger beside the bed also dimmed, and there was a power outage.

There was a sound of water dripping from the shower head in the bathroom.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock.

Ye Cheng hugged his head, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.

He is slightly night blind, and when there is a power outage, he is like a blind man, as if he is in an abyss of darkness.

After two seconds, I finally couldn't bear it anymore and decisively got out of bed to get dressed.

He was panicking, groping in the dark, and even wearing his pants inside out.

However, he couldn't wait any longer and ran out barefoot.

Ye Cheng ran to the next door and banged the door hastily. The little girl shouted: "Lu Xiao, Lu Xiao."

The door was pulled open from the inside, and the surrounding area was pitch black.

Ye Cheng couldn't see the figure in front of him, and could only hear uneven breathing.

He stared wide-eyed and tried to keep his voice steady as he said, "There's a power outage. Uh, can I stay in your room for a while?"

Lu Xiao was quiet for a moment, cursed something in a low voice, then reached out and pulled him in.

"Don't do it first." He said.

The low voice was a bit disordered, but Ye Cheng didn't notice it. He stood nervously by the door and waited, and he didn't dare to do it even if Lu Xiao didn't let him.

There was a rustling sound in the room, and he realized that Lu Xiao was probably not wearing any clothes just now, and now he was putting on the wet clothes.

Ye Cheng felt very insecure in the dark, and groped forward with both hands.

‌ touched him with one hand, and then held him with the backhand.

Lu Xiao's hand was a little bigger than his and wrapped him tightly.

Ye Cheng couldn't help but shiver as his hot palm pressed against the back of his hand, but his heart felt a little more stable.

"Follow me, don't hit the wall." Lu Xiao led him towards the bed and asked, "Are you missing?"

Ye Cheng blinked his eyes and said, "I don't know, please walk slower."

Lu Xiao was very patient and allowed him to move forward inch by inch.

After touching the edge of the bed, Ye Cheng relaxed and sat down stumblingly.

Lu Xiao held his hand unilaterally and let go unilaterally.

The moment he let go, Ye Cheng suddenly felt a little helpless and sat with his back stiff.

From the other bed, the sound of Lu Xiao lying down was heard.

Ye Cheng swallowed his saliva and asked him, "Will I bother you?"

"No." Lu Xiao answered quickly.

The room was quiet for a moment.

Ye Cheng bit his lip and asked: "How is your relative doing? Do you still have to go take care of him tomorrow?"

The man next to me was silent for a while and then said: "It's okay, it's the same old problem. I'll go back to Jiulong with you tomorrow."

"Oh, all right."

Ye Cheng grabbed the corner of his wet clothes, cleared his throat and said, "Don't you feel uncomfortable wearing wet clothes?"

Lu Xiao suddenly chuckled, "Aren't you afraid of sleeping alone?"

"I didn't." Ye Cheng immediately denied it.

Lu Xiao moved a little to the side, patted the vacated space, and said with a smile that he couldn't hide.

"If you want to be afraid, just come."

Ye Cheng's face suddenly turned red. Even though he knew that the other party was not interested, he still felt ashamed.

He, a man who is almost three years old mentally, has actually been reduced to being ridiculed by a high school student.

"Why don't you come?" Lu Xiao raised the corners of his lips, confident.

Ye Cheng huffed and puffed, and finally lost the psychological struggle. Gulu rolled out of bed and moved to his side.

The feeling of being close to people instantly dispelled the fear of space.

Ye Cheng's pounding heart finally calmed down.

Lu Xiao's arm was close to his, and she stretched out her hand to tug on his cuffs: "You're still telling me that you're wearing wet clothes yourself."

Ye Cheng's eyes flashed: "Then I can't run around naked. Come on."

"I can't let you in naked either."

The two of them were quiet again, and this topic made people feel uncomfortable for no reason.

Although they are obviously two grown-up men, they are as shy as little girls. They would rather wear wet clothes next to each other than go shirtless in front of the other.

He even knew that the other party was nowhere to be seen.

Ye Cheng lay on the pillow and felt the people next to him looking at him.

In the room where he couldn't see anything, he seemed to be able to feel those shining eyes.

Puppy eyes.

"Lu Xiao, can you promise me something?" he suddenly said.

‌The sentence seemed a bit abrupt, ‌Lu Xiao was not surprised at all.

"Tell me, what's going on?" He adjusted his posture.

Ye Cheng said: "No matter what happens in the future, I must stay in Thirteen and study hard, okay?"

Lu Xiao was startled for a moment, then sneered: "Sir, squad leader, do you have an occupational disease?"

"It's not an occupational disease, it's just my expectations for you." Ye Cheng couldn't see his face, but kept looking in that direction, and his voice gradually became softer, "Take the exam with me."

Go to college, Lu Xiao."

The light words were like a heavy hammer, slowly pressing on Lu Xiao's heart.

No one has ever said anything like that to him.

No, it should be said that among the people he knew, there had never been anyone like Ye Cheng.

Inexplicably, he transferred from the best high school and appeared next to him.

Inexplicably, she went from being unpleasant to being his deskmate.

Inexplicably, while urging him to study, I came to Qingshan on a rainy night just for him.

…

There are too many things that are inexplicable. In summary, it may not be inexplicable at all.

‌Not even his mother said these words‌.

Meng Li will only complain endlessly. Your dad took that bitch on vacation again. Sooner or later, I will kill them.

Even if I say a word, I have never cared about his study and life.

"Let's go to college with me." Chen Zhen didn't mention it either.

Because no one seems to think that he can go to college. It would be a blessing to have a high school student.

But Ye Cheng, a person who had passed the ‌ grade ‌ exam in all kinds of schools, actually said that he wanted to go to college with him.

In Lu Xiao's short life of more than ten years, he has always been self-centered.

He is a little bully, arrogant and unreasonable, and everyone is afraid of him.

‌There has never been a moment where he suddenly developed a sense of inferiority like he did now.

In his eyes, Ye Cheng was not from the same world as him at all.

He is so outstanding, so dazzling, and the bright future ahead of him is completely different from his own.

"Hey, why don't you speak?" Ye Cheng saw that he didn't answer for a long time and poked him with his elbow.

Lu Xiao's expression changed, then returned to normal, and asked casually: "Which university do you want to go to?"

"My ideal is Peking University," Ye Cheng said, "No, don't worry about it. I don't want you to get into Peking University. You can go to the school you like."

Lu Xiao doesn't have any favorite schools. Except for Qingbei University and Nandu University, he can't even recognize the names of other schools.

"I know." He nodded helplessly.

Ye Cheng's eyes narrowed: "So you agreed?"

"Um."

"Then pull a hook."

"...?"

Ye Cheng crawled over and propped himself up on the bed with his arms: "You guys...don't your basketball team all like high-fiving? Then let's make a hook as a promise."

He almost accidentally said that all little brats should like this "sense of ritual".

Lu Xiao almost wanted to roll her eyes, but she was dragged along by him.

"Hang yourself with a hook, and don't change it."

Ye Cheng hooked his little finger and pulled it childishly, then put his thumbs together and stamped it.

He smiled and felt very satisfied.

"Once the seal is stamped, you can't go back on it."

"You must be admitted to university."

Ye Cheng slowly lay down, and the sound gradually became quieter.

He was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, and he was in a daze because of fear and anxiety.

Now that I have a lot of things on my mind, the sleepyhead naturally comes up.

Lu Xiao was ten minutes away from him, and through the dim light outside the window, he could vaguely see his outline lying on his side.

From the shoulders to the waistline, she looks like the beloved of God.

When Ye Cheng sleeps, he likes to curl up with his left arm on his right arm, showing a protective posture.

‌‌A relatively insecure sleeping position.

Lu Xiao felt in a trance that he was seeing a scene like this. Ye Cheng fell asleep peacefully next to him, which seemed to be the right thing to do.

He was so ridiculous by his own feelings.

There is no reason why they should, because they are obviously lying on the same bed for the first time.

Lu Xiao shook his head and closed his eyes.

‌That kind of peace of mind cannot fool anyone. As the breathing of the person next to him gradually became calmer, he also fell asleep.

The next morning, Ye Cheng woke up from thirst.

He opened his dry eyes and felt as if there was a ball of cotton stuffed in his throat.

I got caught in the rain yesterday and caught a cold.

There was no one around him, and there was only a faint trace of body heat on the sheets.

Ye Cheng crawled back and forth to wash up. As soon as he came out of the bathroom, Lu Xiao came in with breakfast.

"There aren't many stores nearby, so let's just eat a little and eat something else when we go back." Lu Xiao threw the buns to him.

It was still raining lightly outside, and the tips of his hair were stained with moisture.

Ye Cheng sniffed, his cheeks flushed abnormally.

"Do you have a fever?" Lu Xiao noticed something was wrong with him and probed his forehead. It was indeed a bit hot.

Ye Cheng drank the soy milk and said softly: "It's okay, just take some medicine and you'll be fine."

He had had a fever since he was exposed to the rain since he was a child. He originally thought that drinking ginger soup would make him feel better, but he got sick even after wearing wet clothes at night.

"You wait here, I'll buy medicine." Lu Xiao frowned.

Ye Cheng was afraid of trouble: "Let's buy it when we go back. We'll be late for class."

"Wait." Lu Xiao stopped talking to him and turned around to go out.

Ye Cheng had to wait in the room for him to come back. Twenty minutes later, he took medicine and checked out.

Lu Xiao didn't ask him to go to bed early. It was already past nine o'clock when he went to bed. After waiting for a long time, after school, the morning classes were over.

As soon as they entered the class, Jiang Jin shouted: "Brother Cheng, where have you been? You didn't come this morning, and Hua Wangchun even asked."

Ye Cheng's voice had a thick nasal sound, and he said listlessly: "Is he in the office later? I'm going to make up a leave note."

"Here, Yu Kun went to see him just now." Jiang Jin looked at him, "Why did you catch a cold?"

He met Lu Xiao again, and the hidden culprit felt refreshed and showed no signs of illness.

"Why are you asking so many questions?" The culprit glanced at him unkindly, and Jiang Jin closed his mouth knowingly.

Ye Cheng came out of the classroom and went directly to the teaching office.

There was someone sitting in the teaching office, who seemed to be a parent of the student, talking to Hua Wangchun.

"Report." Ye Cheng knocked on the door and said.

The figure with its back to him turned around.

Ye Cheng paused and froze on the spot.

After waiting for a long time, he whispered: "Dad, why are you here?"
