Good Luck Time - Chapter 12

[Chapter 12]

After dinner, at 6:30 in the evening, Tao Siyuan and his mother sent Tao Sizhi back to the group park.

The weather was not good, it was raining and the car was warm.

Tao Sizhi hadn’t slept well last night, and was still in good spirits during the day. In the evening, he felt sleepy. He slumped in the back seat, watching the rain outside the window, and didn’t even want to play games.

His mother and his brother had a chat in the front seat, and sometimes brought him into the topic, but he didn’t listen carefully.

“Brother, younger brother?”

When he got on the elevated road, his brother suddenly called him several times.

Tao Sizhi turned his attention away from the rain marks on the car window, and responded to his brother: “Huh?”

“I have to take the exam for subject one next Saturday. Have you read the book I gave you?”

“Yes.” Tao Sizhi Say.

His mother turned her head and frowned at him: “Why is this kid in such a bad mood today?”

“I played the game late yesterday,” his brother said.

Tao Sizhi looked at his brother’s eyes in the rearview mirror and went to see the rain again.

Back in the dormitory, Tao Sizhi sat on the chair for a while. At 8:45, he received a call from Jiang Ge. Jiang Ge asked him, “Are you in the dormitory?”

Tao Sizhi said yes, and Jiang Ge said, “I also want to apply for a dormitory recently, is it inconvenient to come and see the room layout of your dormitory?”

“Oh, I’m a single room,” Tao Sizhi told him, “You missed it, it’s gone.” The

logistics Xiao Li said that he lives in a rare room type, but not just anyone who applies at any time.

Jiang Ge was silent on the other end of the phone, and said to him, “I’ll take a look at the size, okay. What if there is?”

“Okay then,” Tao Sizhi agreed, but still reminded him, “It’s hard to have any. of.”

If Jiang Ge saw his single room, but applied for a multi-person room, there would definitely be a psychological gap.

Jiang Ge didn’t say anything. After hanging up the phone, more than ten minutes later, he came.

Tao Sizhi went to open the door for him, Jiang Ge was cold again, and a chill rushed towards Tao Sizhi. Tao Sizhi only wore a long-sleeved T-shirt, took a step back from the cold, and pointed to the slippers at the entrance: “I need to change my shoes.”

Jiang Ge changed his shoes, walked into Tao Sizhi’s room, and looked left and right.

Tao Sizhi thought that his room was just the right size, but when Jiang Ge came in, it seemed a little crowded, probably because Jiang Ge was too tall and his temperament did not match this place.

“Don’t you think it’s a little small?” Jiang Ge looked back at him.

Tao Sizhi muttered, “I don’t think so.” The nine o’clock game daily alarm clock rang, so he took his mobile phone, sat back on the chair, curled up his legs and started the game.

Jiang Ge looked at him for a while, then said, “Have you finished eating yesterday’s cake?”

Tao Sizhi lowered his head to do the task, and gave a vague “um”. After finishing the daily routine, Tao Sizhi had already collected two consecutive draws. He forgot to ask his brother to help him just now, and opened the card draw interface, hesitating whether to draw by himself.

At this time, Jiang Ge suddenly approached him a little, leaned over slightly, stretched out his hand and said, “I’ll help you.”

Tao Sizhi turned sideways and avoided him, but he got closer.

The remaining coldness on his body enveloped Tao Sizhi, making Tao Sizhi feel cold too. Tao Sizhi hugged his mobile phone, turned his face away, and quietly rejected him: “No.”

Jiang Ge didn’t try to touch him again.

Tao Sizhi lowered his eyes, he felt empty, panicked and worried, grabbed the phone in one hand and hugged his knee in the other, and found that he didn’t want Jiang Ge in his room, but he didn’t want Jiang Ge to leave either.

He really hoped that he hadn’t met Jiang Ge during the annual meeting. If he hadn’t met Jiang Ge, his life would still be regular.

Tao Siyuan once went to a family intervention course for autism spectrum disorder and learned a common term called learned helplessness. He sometimes used it to describe certain behaviors of Tao Sizhi.

For example, Tao Sizhi refused to learn to drive. He said that Tao Sizhi’s helplessness in traffic was learned, and Tao Sizhi was unwilling to draw cards by himself. He said that Tao Sizhi had a learned card drawing disorder.

In fact, these are all inappropriate usages. Tao Sizhi felt that he had only learned the helplessness from Jiang Ge.

Jiang Ge made Tao Sizhi feel negative and tormented on many occasions when he was alone. However, after Jiang Ge left for many years, the helplessness dissipated naturally, and Tao Sizhi thought he had recovered.

The two were silent for a while, Jiang Ge sat down at the end of Tao Sizhi’s bed, Tao Sizhi glanced at him, and felt that his eyes were difficult to understand.

After a few seconds, Jiang Ge said to Tao Sizhi, “I have no other intentions, I just want to help you.”

Tao Sizhi looked at him, and the two looked at each other for a moment, before Jiang Ge looked away and said, “You live alone every day. Isn’t it boring to be here?”

“Would you like to go out for a ride?” He asked Tao Sizhi, “I’ll get the pass today, and the car is downstairs, so I don’t have to go any longer.” It’s

getting late at half past nine, Tao Sizhi thought. Go to bed, he hasn’t bathed yet.

However, it was very strange. In the end, he said to Jiang Ge: “It’s raining so hard today. I think there must be very few people in the overnight bookstore that I used to like to go to.”

After speaking, he immediately regretted it. He didn’t know why he said that. I don’t know why I followed Jiang Ge out.

The corridor of the dormitory is relatively narrow, two people walking side by side, the backs of their hands would touch each other from time to time.

This time Jiang Ge’s hand was finally warm, Tao Sizhi turned his head slightly and looked at Jiang Ge’s profile.

Jiang Ge’s appearance always looked arrogant, his coat was spotless, Tao Sizhi wanted to see him, but he didn’t want to see him.

They went to the bookstore and stayed on the first floor for a while, Tao Sizhi picked out two books, and suddenly a group of middle school students came in at the door.

Tao Sizhi approached Jiang Ge subconsciously, with his shoulders on Jiang Ge’s chest, and quickly backed away.

“Why don’t you go.” Jiang Ge said, he took the book in Tao Sizhi’s hand and walked to the checkout counter in the queue.

Tao Sizhi followed and said to Jiang Ge, “I’ll arrange it myself.”

Jiang Ge gave him the car key and said, “Go to the car first.”

Tao Sizhi walked downstairs, went to the underground garage, and found Jiang Ge’s car.

Jiang Ge’s car was very quiet, and there were no decorations. Tao Sizhi sat in the car for a while, and Jiang Ge got down. He gave the book to Tao Sizhi and said, “Where are you going next?”

Tao Sizhi didn’t say a word, so he drove out, his speed was not very fast. Tao Sizhi didn’t understand why he came to this conclusion, but he felt Jiang Ge was very sad.

Jiang Ge drove for a long time, circled around the city for a long time, and took some repeated paths. Tao Sizhi did not stop him. In the end, Jiang Ge returned to the bookstore and stopped under an overpass in the city center.

The rain became so heavy that it smeared all the windshields, and it was so gray that they seemed to have entered another world.

“Tao Sizhi,” Jiang Ge said to him, “I came out with my parents last winter.”

“Do you know what coming out is?” He asked Tao Sizhi again.

Tao Sizhi knows what it means to come out. Homosexuality announces his sexuality to his family or society.

Jiang Ge looked at him for a while, without waiting for Tao Sizhi’s answer, he said to himself, “But I didn’t say who the target was.”

Tao Sizhi really wanted to look at the glass of the car window, because the ripples on the glass were very interesting, but he restrained him. Although he was a little distracted, he still looked at Jiang Ge.

“My dad beat me up and sent me to the branch in the northwest to open up wasteland. This year, he finally said he was too lazy to care about me and transferred me back.” Jiang Ge didn’t look at Tao Sizhi, he looked at the void somewhere ahead.

Tao Sizhi didn’t know what to say, he looked at Jiang Ge’s face.

After a while, maybe three minutes, Jiang Ge turned his eyes back to Tao Sizhi’s face. The corners of his mouth were slightly curved, but there was no smile in his eyes. He asked Tao Sizhi, “Don’t you remember this place?”

Tao Sizhi looked at Jiang Ge had no smiling eyes, his lips moved, and he whispered, “Remember.”

“September 13 of the first half of senior year,” he told Jiang Ge, “You were unhappy in the bookstore, so you dragged me here. Jiang Ge smiled again, and after a while, he said, ”

Why did you hug me then?”

Tao Sizhi felt that Jiang Ge looked really sad, so he didn’t answer.

“Do you remember what you said while holding me?” Jiang Ge asked Tao Sizhi.

Before Tao Sizhi could speak, Jiang Ge answered by himself: “You said your brother told you that it is impossible for everyone in this world to like you. You should only look at those who like you.”

“Tao Sizhi, are you talking nonsense,” he said. Ask Tao Sizhi, “Have you never liked me?”

His voice was calm, and he couldn’t tell whether it was doubt or pain, or even if he was saying a question.

But Tao Sizhi felt that his heart was suddenly tightened. He stretched out his hand and touched Jiang Ge’s arm, confirming that Jiang Ge was really sitting beside him.

“Tao Sizhi,” Jiang Ge looked at Tao Sizhi in the thick darkness, in the rain beside the overpass, and asked him in a low, helpless voice, “When you kissed me, did you want to kiss me, or did you want to be happy? .”

Tao Sizhi looked at Jiang Ge blankly, he raised his hand involuntarily, touched Jiang Ge’s hair and cheeks, and reconfirmed that Jiang Ge was sitting in front of him.

Jiang Ge pulled his hand away and clasped his wrist loosely.

After a while, Jiang Ge asked again, “Did you think about me when I was away?”

Tao Sizhi said, “Jiang Ge, I thought about it.”
