His face was still flushed, the redness spreading across his ears and neck in uneven shades, even his eyes rimmed with red that hadn’t faded at all. He rubbed his eyes with his hand and muttered, “Hurry up and eat the noodles, they’re going to get cold.” He Zhiyuan looked at him and said, “If you wanted to tattle, you shouldn’t have said it out loud.” Qiu Xuning propped his elbows on the table, both hands covering half his face, leaving only his eyes exposed as he looked at He Zhiyuan.…- 335.0 K • Completed
- Taking advantage of the fact that Zhou Mingmei and the others hadn’t come back yet, Qiu Xuning decided to cook something for He Zhiyuan. “You can cook?” He Zhiyuan followed him into the kitchen, leaning casually against the doorway, watching Qiu Xuning. “I know a little.” Qiu Xuning fumbled with the gas stove, turned it on, and watched the bluish-green flame flicker as he muttered, “I only know how to make noodles.” Because Mrs. Qiu Yanru was always busy, there was a period when he…

- Qiu Xuning was still a little embarrassed. He sniffled, his voice carrying a faint nasal sound that made him seem even softer. “I wasn’t crying.” His eyes were still red, but the tears had indeed stopped. Not wanting to let He Zhiyuan see him like this, he pretended nothing had happened and got up from the floor. One hand patted his backside, and lowering his head, he noticed the scraps of paper at his feet. Circling around like an ant, he finally found a broom and dustpan and swept the pieces…

- He Zhiyuan said, “I thought you were crying.” Qiu Xuning pressed his lips together, his cheeks puffing slightly as he glared at him and said, “Do you just really want to see me make a fool of myself?” Even his glare was soft and weak, carrying no real force. He Zhiyuan let go of Qiu Xuning’s hand and denied it. “No.” Qiu Xuning lowered his head, staring at the tips of his shoes, and muttered, “I wasn’t crying. I’m not that much of a crybaby.” He Zhiyuan looked down at…

- The next morning, Qiu Xuning stepped out of his room. He glanced toward He Zhiyuan’s door, hesitated for a moment, then walked over and knocked. After waiting a while and seeing no response, a puzzled look crossed his face. “He Zhiyuan?” he called softly at the door, but there was still no movement inside. Rubbing his nose, which had been reddened by the cold, Qiu Xuning headed downstairs. Zhou Mingmei was making breakfast when she saw him. “Why do you always get up so early? It’s fine…

- Qiu Xuning didn’t dare look at him. He lowered his gaze, and a single glistening tear slipped down, which he quickly wiped away with his hand. Zhou Mingmei and Qiu Zhaozhao saw Qiu Xuning shrink back in fright, nearly stumbling, and their hearts tightened. They hurriedly stepped in front of him to shield him. Zhou Mingmei snapped at He Zhiyuan, “Get out of here! Don’t hang around in front of Ningning. If he doesn’t get into No. 1 High School, I’ll throw you out to sleep on the streets!…

- When Qiu Xuning and He Zhiyuan got home, it was already close to midnight. At the door, Qiu Xuning pulled out her keys and fumbled around for the keyhole. She tried for a long time but couldn’t get it in. In the end, He Zhiyuan couldn’t stand it anymore, snatched the keys from his hand, and opened the door himself. But just as the door swung open, before either of them could step inside, they saw Zhou Mingmei. Qiu Xuning: “…” He stared in shock at Zhou Mingmei’s darkened face. From…

- It was cold at night. Under the light from the living room, Qiu Xuning could see his breath forming a faint white mist. He exhaled softly and watched the thin vapor fade into the air. He waited until He Zhiyuan had finished changing his shoes before carefully opening the door. Zhou Mingmei and the others lived on the first floor—if their ears were sharp, they would definitely hear the sound of the door opening. He didn’t want them to find out that he and He Zhiyuan were sneaking out for a late-night…

- He Zhiyuan didn’t say anything, and Qiu Xuning held the test paper in his hands without speaking either. After a while, He Zhiyuan said, “You did pretty well.” Hearing that, Qiu Xuning sniffled and said hoarsely, “It’s fine, just didn’t get a full score.” He had lost a point in math because of carelessness, both chemistry and physics had deductions of varying degrees, but all were still above 95 points. He Zhiyuan said quietly, “You’ll have another chance.” Qiu Xuning…

- When Qiu Shuohai saw him crying, he was momentarily taken aback, but then the corners of his mouth twitched and he started laughing. "No way! You're crying already? Are you even a man? Always crying like that, you’re acting like a girl." The noise they made caught Zhou Mingmei's attention. "Qiu Shuohai! What the heck are you doing now?" Qiu Shuohai stepped back a few paces, his smile fading slightly. "Nothing at all, Mom, you're busy. I’m just going out for a while." He said that and tried to…
