The high school student said that he would see him the next day. But in fact, the two of them did not see each other the next day. After all, he was in high school and left early and returned late. When he came back in the evening, he missed him.
But the high school student didn’t care.
They lived in the same building. When the high school student came back late, he would see the lights on in the shou’s room and the curtains would be drawn tightly, and some light was seen faintly.
The high school student couldn’t help thinking: What is he doing? Is he wearing a skirt? Will he put on exquisite makeup? Has he ever worn a skirt to go out? No, he is so timid that he would only dare to wear it secretly.
The high school student’s thoughts became explicit and bold. He even wondered: Would shou wear women’s underwear?
His thoughts became increasingly lewd. The high school student closed his eyes and suddenly realised that all his erotic imaginings had become impoverished and pale, yet vividly alluring.
The high school student got it in his own hands.
The next meeting was in the supermarket where the shou worked.
When the high school student went there, he didn’t see the shou. It happened that the little girl Qiu Qiu was on duty. The high school student’s face was unforgettable, and Qiu Qiu recognised him at a glance.
The girl said, “Hey…… Aren’t you Little Brother Lu’s — —” She thought for a moment and said, “Neighbour?”
The high school student glanced at her, took a bottle of water from the freezer, and hummed indifferently.
The little girl exclaimed, “Little Brother Lu is busy at the back.”
The high school student said, “It’s okay.”
There was a small bar in the supermarket. The high school student sat on a high stool, one hand resting on the long wooden bar counter. Several books and a test paper were scattered casually on the table. He had long legs and was wearing his school uniform, yet he gave off an unapproachable and aloof air.
Qiu Qiu said, “Are you and Little Brother Lu really neighbours?”
High school student, “En.”
Qiu Qiu, “Are you waiting for Little Brother Lu? Do you want me to call him for you?”
High school student, “No need.”
He had a cold attitude, but Qiu Qiu didn’t mind at all. She said with a smile, “Are you a student at the affiliated middle school next door?”
High school student, “En.”
Qiu Qiu asked again, “What grade are you in? Are you an adult?”
High school student, “……”
The two of them exchanged a few awkward words. Suddenly, the shou came out with a list. He was wearing a hat and said as he walked, “Qiu Qiu, this needs to be restocked. Please — —”
He looked up and saw the high school student. He was stunned for a moment, “Hey?”
The high school student looked at him calmly and said, “Good afternoon.”
“Good afternoon…… Good afternoon.” Shou looked at the high school student and then at the little girl. He was at a loss whether to go in or out.
The little girl came over, took the list from his hand, and said with a smile, “I’ll go take a look. Little Brother Lu, your neighbour is looking for you.”
The shou stared with his eyes wide, looked at the high school student, hesitated for a while, and whispered, “Is there something wrong?”
The high school student looked calm and said, “I left my key at home.”
“…… What should I do?” He asked, “Do you have a spare key? Does the landlord have one?”
The landlord was a woman of about forty years old, with a good temper and a smile. Shou had met her twice.
The high school student said calmly and tranquilly, “No.”
Shou wrinkled his brows, “Then what should I do?”
The high school student said, “Can I borrow your balcony? From the balcony, you can go up to the third floor.” He paused, looked at the shou, and said, “Is that okay?”
He hesitated and said, “Yes, yes. But it’s too dangerous……”
The high school student said, “It’s not dangerous. You work first.”
“I’ll wait for you to get off work.”
