The Wind Blows Fallen Leaves Chapter 13

A lot of pressure

The weather is getting colder, the campus is full of fallen leaves, and the countdown on the blackboard is being read page by page by the wind.

He raised his face when he was thinking seriously, and suddenly he lowered his head again with a flash of inspiration. It goes on like this over and over again. Everyone is programmed and has only one thing in their mind, “preparing for the college entrance examination.”

At 5:30 in the morning and 10:30 in the evening, there was no hustle and bustle of traffic outside the window, only the shouts of victory to them. The super-intense busyness had exhausted the students. Lying in bed and closing their eyes was already a luxury.

Looking at those textbooks that are as tall as one person, they are piled on the desk with no blackboard and no choice.Exhausted, Shen Luo raised his arms, put them on An Yu’s shoulders, tilted his head and leaned against each other, and opened his eyes sleepily.

Zhang Jiacheng’s voice was hoarse as if he had not seen the light of day for a long time: “The pressure put on me, and the college entrance examination gave me the feeling that if I failed the exam, I would be stuck in it for the rest of my life.”

Others agreed one after another, and Fei Zhu felt distressed when he saw that all of them were overloaded with studies, so he could only give them some guidance.

“Don’t put so much pressure on yourself. You must learn to find ways to relieve stress and release all the stress. Everyone has different ways of decompressing. You can communicate with each other.”

As soon as these words came out, they started communicating one after another. It was as messy as a vegetable market at five o’clock in the morning. Zhang Jiasheng asked his deskmate urgently. He was still picking up a math problem on the scratch paper, “Old man Ding, what do you do to relieve stress? Let me tell you that when I play games, I like to scold the other person until they are bloody, without any ability to fight back. After I scold him, I feel much better.”

When Yu Miao heard his words, she immediately turned around and asked cautiously: “What’s the name of your game?”

“The leftovers of the Zhang family,” Zhang Jiasheng said the name of his game in a smooth tone and pretended to be cool, “Call Brother Sheng to come and listen, I can guide you to win and vent your anger.”

“Let me tell you, the voice sounded so much like you when I was playing games that day. It turned out to be really you.”

Yu Miao’s voice got louder and louder, and everyone else turned around to watch the excitement. Zhang Jiasheng didn’t understand what he meant. He stared and asked the people around him at a loss: “What’s wrong? Does it have anything to do with me?”

Yu Miao broke off the ballpoint pen in her hand, wishing her hair would burst into flames, and said, “It doesn’t matter. I was going to relax for the exam the next day, but I was so angry with you that I couldn’t sleep all night, and I didn’t do well in the exam the next day.”

As he spoke, he wiped away his tears. Zhang Jiasheng immediately became at a loss. He rummaged through his pockets but couldn’t find any tissues. Just when he was about to wipe her tears with his clothes, Zhao Zhewen handed over a box of tissues, and Zhang Jiasheng immediately held it up attentively.

Yu Miao covered her eyes and Xia Shuyao looked helpless. Zhang Jiasheng kept apologizing and promised not to hit her back next time. Yu Miao gradually put away her sadness.

Ding Lei couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Yu Miao’s stern look made him shut up. Fei Zhu looked at their noisy scene as if he was back in the first grade of high school.

“What about you?” Shen Luo asked with a smile, his arms on the table and his face in his hands.

After all, An Yu came back from school, and he was able to handle these courses with ease. When he asked him, he didn’t know how to speak.

“I’m actually not under any pressure, but I can tell you what you want to hear.” Seeing him looking at her expectantly, An Yu leaned into his ear and whispered, “Drink.”

“Drink?” Shen Luo asked confused.

“Yes, wine is Wangyoujun. If you drink too much, you will forget everything.” An Yu told him very seriously.

Shen Luo said helplessly: “I don’t know whether I have forgotten it, but didn’t Li Bai have a poem that says, ‘cut off the water with a knife and the water will flow more, raise a cup to relieve sorrow and make it more sorrowful’?”

“Experience comes from practice. Don’t you know the effect after doing it once?” An Yu smiled so hard that people couldn’t refuse, and Shen Luo agreed bravely.

Shen Luo’s face was red, his heart was beating fast, and he said sheepishly: “Do you have to go to a bar to drink?”

An Yu was amused by him, pinched his face, and said with a smile: “Kid, you are not an adult yet and you can’t go to the bar. If you really want to go, you have to wait until after the college entrance examination. I will take you there.”

Shen Luo felt that the flesh on his face was being ravaged by a pair of big hands, but there was no pain at all. He nodded blankly and said, “Oh…oh, that’s good.”

“By the way, if someone wants to take you to a bar, remember not to go. They are all bad people.”

Shen Luo nodded simply, while An Yu dotingly rubbed his hair until it was a little messy, as if he had just woken up.

Just after class, Anyu noticed that there were more than a dozen missed calls on her phone. Then she remembered that she had an appointment with Zhuang Yi and the others today, so she walked aside and called them back.

Zhuang Yi answered the phone and first scolded him, and then asked him to give him a reasonable excuse, “Are you kidding us, Anyu? You have been trying to beat us a few times. I finally asked you out, but then you fucking disappeared for me. Are you happy if I tie you up like last time and call the police over? Do you know how much I lost last time? If you don’t give me a reasonable explanation today, this matter will never end.”

“It’s not a pigeon, it’s a delay. I forgot to tell you. Today’s meal is mine. I will apologize to you next time.” An Yu knew that it was his fault, so he explained to him patiently and made concessions.

“That’s it? Just…sent us away. Why don’t you tell us what big thing you have tonight, so you can leave the three of us here to accompany us?” Zhuang Yi was still confused and asked.

“No, it’s just that school is a bit stressful, so I have to go back to sleep.” An Yu told him seriously.

“You? Are you under a lot of pressure? I can drown you with the spittle I give you. If it were anyone else, I would still believe it. But if it were you, even if you say that the sky is falling, your credibility will be far higher than yours.”

An Yu looked at Shen Luo, who was waiting quietly on the roadside, with a smile on his lips. He just wanted to end the conversation quickly and said, “That’s it. Believe it or not, I’ll send it to you next time.”

After saying that, she hung up on him, tucked Shen Luo’s broken hair behind her ears and said, “Does it take a long time?”

Shen Luo pursed his lips, shook his head and said, “No, let’s go.”

It was almost early in the morning, there were few pedestrians on the road, but many vehicles. Shen Luo felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he took the initiative to find a topic.

“Did your family make the call just now? If your family asks you to go back, you…”

“No,” An Yu said hesitantly, “What I want to say is that actually I didn’t have any conflicts with my family. It’s just that I was the only one at home when they went abroad. As for me, I don’t like being too lonely, so I want to live with you.”

“It’s good that there are no conflicts.”

An Yu looked at him with a relieved smile and asked him, “Aren’t you angry that I lied to you?”

“Don’t be angry. There’s nothing to be angry about. It’s really okay.”

Shen Luo felt like he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in and escape from this embarrassing place. After thinking about it, he slowly approached the middle of the road. At this time, an electric car rushed from behind. The horn suddenly sounded, which scared Shen Luo. An Yu grabbed his wrist and pulled him behind him. Shen Luo could hear his pounding heartbeat. It was so fast that it seemed like he was the one who was almost hit just now.

“Are you okay?”

“It’s okay.”

After that, the owner of the electric bike said, “Can you walk? The road is so wide and you have to walk in the middle. Isn’t it enough to live a good life? It’s really unlucky.”

The man picked up the scooter and left cursing. An Yu frowned when he heard the scolding getting more and more dirty and wanted to step forward. Shen Luo stopped him and said, “Forget it, forget it, it was my fault in the first place. Let’s go back quickly.”

An Yu held his hand tightly, feeling that his hands were getting hot, and the bracelet on his wrist was sandwiched between the two of them to transfer their body temperature.

Shen Luo tried to break away several times on the way, but he was not strong enough.

The two sat cross-legged on the edge of the sofa. Shen Luo couldn’t wait to taste it. When he took it back, his hand turned into a bottle of milk. Shen Luo looked at him in confusion, and An Yu said, “Drink some milk first.”

The tone of the command did not allow Shen Luo to refuse. While he was drinking milk, An Yu had already mixed a cup. There was a cherry pinned to the rim of the cup.The bar spoon in the middle stirred quickly and handed over a tornado. Shen Luo came over and smelled it. It smelled of lychee. Shen Luo was stuffed in one gulp. He was drunk very quickly. After a few drinks, Shen Luo’s face turned red and his eyes were a little blurry. His legs were curled up in the small gap. An Yu tasted it. It was like plain water to him. Looking at his silly look, he murmured: “I’m really bad at drinking.”

An Yu quickly cleared the table. Shen Luo’s consciousness was running low, but An Yu acted like a normal person and thought of teasing him, saying, “Do you still remember who I am?”

Shen Luo didn’t raise his eyes. After being drunk, his hair was lying limp, swaying from side to side as he swayed.

He suddenly felt something turbulent in his stomach, but the stomach contents were not considered to be rising. He pushed An Yu away, lay on the trash can and retched several times until his face turned even redder, and he raised his head to inject fresh air again.

An Yu wanted to pour him a glass of honey water, but he rummaged through the kitchen and couldn’t find any honey. In the end, he only went out with a glass of hot water.

After finally coaxing Shen Luo to bed, he went out to pack things. Shen Luo sat alone by the cabinet, half-closed his eyes, his lower lip slightly covering his upper lip. He couldn’t help swallowing and folded his clothes in an assembly line. There was no room around him. An Yu piled his folded clothes together behind his back. After Shen Luo saw it, he spread his hands in front of him.

“Give it to me, come on.”

An Yu handed him the pile of clothes without hesitation, thinking that he would put them safely in the cabinet. The next second, when he stopped his hand, the top clothes were directly pressed to the ground face to face.

Seeing that there were more and more clothes on the floor and becoming more and more messy, An Yu smiled fondly and sat down to help him clean it up. Shen Luo yelled, “Ah, you can’t put white clothes at the bottom, they will get dirty.”

An Yu was so frightened that the pair of pants he had just picked up fell to the ground again. He kept moving his hands like a normal person and quickly folded the clothes neatly.

“Put the top on the left, pants on the right, white on the top, black on the bottom…”

There were piles of folded clothes on the floor. Shen Luo didn’t know what to do next. He stood up silently and got into bed. Anyu put the clothes in the cabinet, tucked him in, and put the coffee table away to help him clean up the mess on the floor. There were a lot of sweat beads on his forehead, so he had to take a shower. It was already three o’clock in the morning when he lay on the bed.

Listening to Shen Luo’s relatively steady breathing, An Yu’s eyes filled with sleepiness. Just as he closed his eyes, Shen Luo turned over and put his legs on his legs in a very comfortable position. Then his upper body shrank. An Yu carefully hugged him back. The next second, he felt something moving around his waist. Shen Luo’s hands kept helping him grab, and the strength gradually became stronger. An Yu couldn’t help it, and took his hand. He struggled to continue grabbing.

“I’m itchy, so itchy.”

An Yu held his hand, and after hearing his words, she slowly placed her other heavy left hand on the spot where he had just scratched her and gently scratched it. Only then did he feel comfortable removing the force from his hand. His hand was slightly cold, and when he touched An Yu’s hot back, he felt a mark on his back.

An Yu could feel that only his fingertips were cold and his palms were warm, while the rest of his body was hot. An Yu stared at him for a long time and involuntarily moved closer and closer to him, until their skin touched each other.

“You are so good-looking.” An Yu looked at him and couldn’t help but whisper.

His soft lips were like jelly after being baptized by alcohol, making people want to ravage them. From his jaw to his collarbone, there was no resistance, only generous acceptance.

The next day, An Yu woke up from the heat and felt a tingling sensation on his chest. He lowered his head and saw that Shen Luo was sleeping soundly with his head lowered. An Yu patted his back, wiped away the fine beads of sweat on his forehead and said softly: “Shen Luo, get up, it’s time to go to school.”

The person in his arms just moved and returned to silence. Anyu shouted again. The person in his arms struggled to move back and almost fell to the bottom of the bed. Anyu fished it back for him. He buried his head in the crevices of the pillow in an aggrieved manner, and then said in a hoarse voice that sounded like he had not spoken for a long time: “Brother, my stomach hurts. It hurts so much. Can I ask for leave?”

As he said that, he took his hand and put it on his flat belly. Anyu’s cheeks were slightly reddened either because the air was too stuffy or because of shyness. She comforted him distressedly: “If you feel uncomfortable, we won’t go. It doesn’t hurt anymore. Brother, I’ll ask for leave for you.”

He picked up the phone and called Fei Zhu, lying to him that he was Shen Luo’s brother. Fei Zhu seemed to know that Shen Luo had a brother, but he had never seen him, so he didn’t doubt it.

“Okay, okay, since Shen Luo isn’t feeling well, let him have a good rest at home. He is in his senior year of high school and is under a lot of pressure, but he can’t tire his body out. After all, the body is the capital of the revolution. Then you take good care of him. If I have something to do here, I’ll hang up first.”

“Well, thank you for your understanding, teacher.”

An Yu’s voice was as quiet as possible and he didn’t dare to say more, for fear that Fei Zhu would hear something. After hanging up the phone, Fei Zhu became suspicious, “Why is this voice so familiar? Who does it sound like?”

However, he quickly dispelled this doubt and comforted himself by saying, “Hey, I’m sorry for bothering you. There are so many voices in the world. It must be that I love working too much and I need to find some time to take a good rest.”

After making the call, Shen Luo seemed to hear that he didn’t have to go to school anymore, so he hugged him tighter subconsciously. An Yu was secretly happy, with thousands of thoughts flooding into his heart, with a smile on his lips, as if he was living a stable life.

An Yu looked at Shen Luo’s side face in trance, and suddenly there was light around him, and a gust of wind penetrated his body, making every cell in his body tremble. When he laid him down, he realized that Shen Luo’s fingers had hooked on his bracelet at some point. The more he moved his fingers, the tighter they were. Shen Luo nuzzled into his arms and murmured: “It smells so good.”

After saying that, he kissed her, and the kiss happened to fall on An Yu’s chest. The skin there was as hot as if it had been grilled on a shelf. The two were entangled for a while, and An Yu took off the bracelet and left it to him.

He opened the bedroom door and walked to the bathroom. When he came out, he found someone sitting on the sofa. Liang Qian had been holding the milk in An Yu’s mouth since An Yu came out. He didn’t swallow it until An Yu came out of the bathroom. Just now, he was wondering where there was so much wine in his house. It wasn’t until he saw An Yu that he suddenly realized it. He pointed at him, pointed at the wine bottle on the table and pointed at the bedroom door and said, “Did you drink yesterday?”

An Yu nodded undeniably, and Liang Qian asked again, “Are you drunk?”

An Yu said: “It’s him, not me.”

“Then you…”

“Guess.”

The sentence “guess” made Liang Qian’s thoughts spin. He was about to rush in to see how his good brother was doing. An Yu stopped him and said, “He is still resting. You can come back later.”

Liang Qian looked at him like an animal and squinted his eyes: “I told you how I saw a car exactly like yours downstairs yesterday. I thought it was a new one, but I’m really new here.”

“…”

“To be honest, what did you two do besides drinking yesterday?”

An Yu spread his hands innocently and said, “What can we do?”

Liang Qian retorted: “You guys can do a lot. He likes you. Can you handle it when you’re drunk?”

As soon as these words came out, Liang Qian shut up urgently, and then slapped himself several times. However, An Yu captured the key information, but didn’t quite believe it, “He really likes me?”

“Do you like him? My brother is so good, wouldn’t you dislike him and still do that…that kind of thing to him?” Liang Qian became angry and shouted.

An Yu looked at him calmly and said, “Guess why I want to get close to him? Why don’t I get close to you?”

“Why do you always make people guess? Besides, you don’t want to get close to me,” Liang Qian said angrily.”Then can he still go to class today?”

“No need.”

“Why don’t you use it?” Liang Qian asked, “Did you ask for leave for him?”

“He’s not feeling well.” An Yu put her schoolbag on her back and went out without waiting for him.

Liang Qian looked at him angrily, then shook his head and imitated what he just said, “He’s not feeling well.”
