not as sweet as you

Chapter 21

Luo Xing lowered his head, his mind was full of Huo Xingzhou's drunk appearance, whether he was sleeping quietly, or as usual, playing tricks on people.

It's like a cat scratching in my heart.

"Can you..." Luo Xing raised his head and found that he was looking at himself with his chin propped up. He was stunned for a moment and forgot what he wanted to say.

"Look at me...what are you doing?"

Huo Xingzhou curled the corner of his mouth with a half-smile, "If you don't look at me, how do you know I'm looking at you?"

"you……"

"Honestly, do you always peek at me?"

The secret was exposed suddenly, Luo Xing's heart tightened, and he stammered: "Who, who stole, peeked at you!"

Huo Xingzhou propped his chin to bully him, his breath was so close that he was almost entangled with him, he lowered his voice and leaned against his ear: "Really?"

"Of course not..."

"Last time, on the night when I brought you soup, you touched my hand and stared at me for a long time." Huo Xingzhou chuckled lightly, grabbing Luo Xing's heart in a deep voice, watching his fair face move quickly. Flushing, incoherent denials.

"I didn't, I didn't stare at you, I just watched you fall asleep, and I was afraid that your phone would fall on the floor."

Huo Xingzhou approached so close, and he was sitting next to the wall again, almost a little further forward to be surrounded by his whole body, avoiding him blushingly: "I really didn't peek at you."

Huo Xingzhou looked down at him, he was embarrassed, his ears were red and he dodged around but he didn't dare to look at him, the tension in his chest couldn't stand it, so he kindly let him go: "I'm teasing you."

Luo Xing heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that he was going to let go, but he got closer again, making him suffocate again: "What's wrong?"

Huo Xingzhou raised his hand to pinch his chin, moved it left and right, looked at his face that had returned to normal, and remembered that in the past two months, he disappeared for one night every time he took a big rest.

Although he didn't get hurt again, what if it wasn't on his face.

Although he tried his best to hide it so that neither he nor anyone would find out, Huo Xingzhou couldn't help but care.

Luo Xing didn't want to say, he wouldn't ask clearly, before he found out in private, he didn't allow Luo Xing to get hurt under his nose again.

No one can hurt him anymore.

"Want to play together on Feng Jia's birthday?"

Luo Xing originally wanted to say no, because he was not familiar with those people, and he had never attended other people's birthday parties, so he subconsciously resisted.

But when he thought about getting drunk, being disturbed by others when he was unconscious, and being taken away by Ye Qiaoqiao, his heart felt like a pinprick.

After struggling for a while, they nodded.

It doesn't matter if he is selfish or whatever, he doesn't want others to take Huo Xingzhou away.

The school bell rang.

Huo Xingzhou sat back to class safely, saying that he didn't listen to the class at all, he didn't know what was going on in his mind, but the expression in his eyes changed from rebellious to gentle.

-

Students in the third year of high school are immersed in exams and exams every day. For top students and scumbags, life is not bad, but it is difficult for those who are not full of half a bottle.

There are all kinds of mournful wailing in the classroom every day. I wailed when I looked at the piles of papers, and I wailed when I looked at the test questions.

Luo Xing gently tapped Huo Xingzhou, who was playing a game, and gently handed over a note. He looked down and saw that it read: Feng Jia, what should I get for her birthday.

Huo Xingzhou thought for a while, and wanted to speak, but suddenly closed it again. He took the pen in his hand, wrote a few words under that word, and then pushed it back.

Luo Xing looked at his aggressive characters, couldn't help touching them with his hands, thought about his suggestion in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "Is it really okay?"

"Believe me."

Luo Xing pressed the note, "En!"

After the small class on Friday, several of them walked to the school gate together.

Ye Qiaoqiao said, "You guys go first, I'll be there at night."

Huo Xingzhou hummed and walked forward.

Luo Xing stood where he was, watching her back as she hurriedly walked towards the boy who played with him that day, and stepped backwards on the square bricks in front of him.

The retrograde light gathered her into a silhouette. Although she couldn't see her face, she could feel her happiness. She liked that person very much.

"Luo Xing."

Huo Xingzhou turned around and called him, Luo Xing was startled, not wanting him to see Ye Qiaoqiao being intimate with that boy, he held his hand without thinking, turned around, and walked forward quickly.

"what happened?"

"No, nothing."

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, Ye Qiaoqiao showed up on time. She changed her school uniform and wore a floral cotton and linen dress. She held a gift and said happy birthday to Feng Jia with a smile.

"Thank you, monitor." Feng Jia took it with a hey hey, and waved his hand at Huo Xingzhou: "Look, it's better than the monitor, and I haven't seen you give me a gift."

"Did I send it?" Huo Xingzhou swept his eyes and sneered: "Where is my mobile phone, bring it to me, and apply for a refund now."

Feng Jia said in seconds, "Don't, don't, I'm just joking, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Huo Xingzhou straightened his legs like a master, and patted the back of the chair with one hand: "Come on, if you are sincere, just kneel down for me, kowtow three times, thank you, apologize, and respect."

The crowd laughed.

"Get rolling." Feng Jia picked up a small orange on the table and threw it towards Huo Xingzhou. He raised his hand to catch it, peeled it in twos, and fed it into Luo Xing's mouth.

Luo Xing sat beside him, his nervous back straight, he had never participated in this kind of occasion, the strangeness made him panic.

Everyone was talking happily, and it seemed that he was surrounded by a low pressure in this corner, and he was out of place.

It turns out that this is how everyone plays together, which is completely different from that in school.

Huo Xingzhou sat down, raised his hand to scoop up the kettle and poured some water for him, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Luo Xing nodded, because it was very noisy, he couldn't clearly separate Huo Xingzhou's voice from inside, so he could only stare at his mouth, and even slowed down his own speech unconsciously: "It's okay, it's just a little uncomfortable. Too used to it."

"Well, I will learn when I come out to play more in the future..."

"Xing Zhou, how much do you plan to drink today?"

Huo Xingzhou's voice stopped.

Liu Mengya walked over, brushing her long curly hair slightly, her short blouse could barely reveal her slender waist, revealing her whitened skin and navel looming.

Huo Xingzhou kept a cold face and said nothing.

Liu Mengya's eyes turned towards Luo Xing intentionally or unintentionally, her toes moved on the ground, as if touching his feet inadvertently, she hurriedly retracted as if frightened.

Huo Xingzhou frowned, and with his long legs folded in front of Luo Xing's feet, what the hell was he trying to seduce.

"Get up, the block is on."

Liu Mengya smiled a little stiffly, and said in a low voice: "I just want to say hello to you. I always heard Feng Jia talking about Luo Xing. He has good grades and good people. He has been in our school for two months and I..."

"You don't meet each other, so there's no need to exchange pleasantries."

Huo Xingzhou didn't give her the slightest look. Liu Mengya's face turned red with embarrassment, and she pursed the corners of her mouth in grievance, and turned and left after looking at her toes for a long time.

Luo Xing asked him a little blankly, "You don't seem to like her very much?"

Huo Xingzhou glanced sideways: "You like it?"

Luo Xing was startled, and shook his head, "I don't, I don't like it, and I don't know her."

Only then was Huo Xingzhou satisfied, and he leaned close to him and whispered in his ear: "This girl is called Liu Mengya, and she hangs Feng Jia all day long as a bully for him, as her human credit card, and she will neither refuse nor agree. After giving up, she gave him a little hope to hang him again, the bitch knows it."

Luo Xing was dumbfounded, and unconsciously went to look at Liu Mengya again, only to see her sitting quietly by the table, lonely and not knowing what she was thinking.

No, it won't.

"What are you two whispering while hiding here!" Feng Jia came over with a wine glass and stuffed it into Luo Xing's hands involuntarily: "We have a class and a dormitory, for the sake of fate, come here."

Luo Xing hesitated a little. Today is Feng Jia's birthday, and he should have a drink if someone invited him.

But, he never drank alcohol.

He didn't know what would happen to him when he was drunk, what if he said something that shouldn't be said, or what if it revealed that he was... different from others?

Luo Xing nervously looked at the dozen or so laughing classmates in the room. He had never participated in such an occasion, nor did he have so many friends. He didn't want to lose.

He took a deep breath, raised his hand to catch the cup, but was taken away the moment he touched it.

"What kind of wine do underage children drink?"

Huo Xingzhou got up halfway, brought a bottle of milk from the girl, poured half a glass and replaced the wine in his hand: "Drink this."

Feng Jia yelled a few times: "No, no, everyone knows that you pour a glass, I don't know what level Luoxing is, what's wrong with being a minor, and the monitor is not an adult yet, drink!"

Today's birthday star's tail is up to the sky, and Huo Xingzhou is not good to refute his face today, so he laughed half mockingly: "I will drink this cup for him."

Feng Jia looked at him and didn't stop him. After he finished drinking, he started to be unreasonable. He grabbed Luo Xing and said, "If you drink it, it's yours. What does it have to do with Luo Xing? Can you represent him?"

Li Lefan also came over, grabbed Feng Jia's arm and coaxed: "That's right, whoever you are from Luoxing, you want to represent him. Let him drink by himself."

"Drink it yourself! You must drink it yourself!"

Huo Xingzhou glanced at him, and the two quickly fell silent, then lowered their heads and asked Luo Xing, "Can I represent you?"

Feng Jia and Li Lefan came to see him together. He couldn't hear the laughter of the others, so he could only nod his head in a panic. Huo Xingzhou put his finger on his shoulder and gave Feng Jia a sideways glance: "I heard without."

Feng Jia made a fuss again to make Huo Xingzhou drink a few glasses before finishing, and took the bottle to drink others.

Huo Xingzhou sat down, Luo Xing remembered that his alcohol capacity was very light, and handed him his milk with a little worry, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Huo Xingzhou took the milk, saw that he didn't take a sip, put it down after taking two sips, and reached over him to bring a plate of strawberries.

With the upper half of his body lying on him, with a slight smell of alcohol and the slight smell of laundry soap on his body, Luo Xing dodged to the side uncomfortably.

Huo Xingzhou put down the strawberry and saw that his cheeks were a little red and his breathing was inexplicably heavy, so he raised his hand and touched his forehead, but he didn't try, so he leaned over and pressed his forehead against it: "Uncomfortable?"

"It's okay." Luo Xing was trapped in his arms in a daze, not daring to move, his slightly alcoholic breath lingered on his face, and his breathing became more rapid, and his hands tightly gripped his clothes.

Huo Xingzhou smiled, picked a strawberry and fed him a stalk, and waited for him to eat before saying: "They usually have birthdays like this, and they are very noisy. If you are not used to it, I will take you away first."

Luo Xing swallowed the strawberry in his mouth, and hurriedly said: "I'm fine, and I'm not used to it. I feel that your relationship is very enviable, and I'm very, very happy."

When he said this, there was extremely suppressed envy in his eyes, as if he had never had such feelings and occasions.

For high school students, he has never had an ordinary party?

The tip of Huo Xingzhou's heart seemed to be pinched severely by someone, it hurt and sore, he stretched out his hand to pinch his face, picked up a wine glass from the side and handed it to his mouth, the two of them were sitting against the corner of the wall, and the others were making a fuss, No one paid any attention to them either.

Huo Xingzhou trapped the person between his arms and the wall, and coaxed him in a low voice: "Do you want to try it?"

Luo Xing was hesitant, he wanted to try, but he was afraid that he would not know how to drink.

"I won't get drunk at all." Huo Xingzhou held the wine glass and pressed it to his lower lip, the cold glass wall, the slightly drunken smell, Luo Xing raised his eyes and asked uncertainly: "Then let me try drinking a little? "

"En." Huo Xingzhou raised his glass high, letting the wine flow into his mouth along the edge of the glass, and he was choked as soon as he took it.

Luo Xing pushed his chest away with both hands, and coughed to the side, panting uncomfortably.

Huo Xingzhou patted him on the back, fed him a strawberry, and asked with a low smile, "How does it feel?"

Luo Xing swallowed the strawberries in his mouth, and whispered to Huo Xingzhou, "It's so bitter and spicy."

Huo Xingzhou smiled, raised his hand to pull him up, and turned the table around to serve him food to watch him eat, while the others were making a fuss over there, occasionally booing and saying something very harmonious.

Luo Xing thought, he didn't have any friends in the past 17 years, and he never knew how it felt to laugh with someone.

Although it was a little noisy, and the ears were buzzing, I couldn't really hear what they were talking about, but the feeling was indescribable.

Really, so envious.

Moreover, it would be great if I could always, always be with Huo Xingzhou like this.

"Hey, it's so boring to just drink, let's play something different." Li Lefan probably also got drunk, stepped on the chair, and pointed at the table indiscriminately.

A boiling kettle was kicked down directly, Huo Xingzhou quickly grabbed Luo Xing into his arms, and ignored the kettle dropped on the ground, he frowned and asked, "Is it too hot?"

Luo Xing panted with lingering fear, shook his head: "No."
