Can't hide

Chapter 58 Reach out and pinch Jiang Sui's sleeve, and lift it twice

When Cheng Ziyao got up, seeing Duan Zhuo was still in a daze, he knocked heavily on the dining table twice.

"Why are you in a daze, do you want to go together?"

Duan Zhuo looked up at Jiang Sui, but didn't speak, what he wanted to hear was Jiang Sui asking this question.

"Doesn't he still have part-time work to do, let him go back first." Jiang Sui said.

Duan Zhuo would not have thought much about these words before, but once the barrier was broken, he couldn't help guessing whether this was Jiang Sui's reason for reducing contact with him.

Until he walked out of the cafeteria, Duan Zhuo was still in a state of confusion, and went to the garage mechanically to pick up the car.On the way back, I almost ran into a little wild cat that suddenly jumped out of the bushes.

Returning to the empty dormitory, he closed the door with his backhand, and he was finally able to breathe, like a deflated ball, completely emptied.

Xiguang pierced through the mist and entered the room, and was cut by the curtains into a black and white boundary. He walked to the dark place and sat down.Today is the weekend, and everyone generally goes to bed later than usual, and the corridor is very quiet. This environment also allows him to calm down and think.

He just knows that Jiang Sui's attitude towards him is not the same as before, but he doesn't understand why.

Looking back on the time on the calendar, he suddenly remembered the night on the island, his heart shook, and then he felt a surge of embarrassment.

No wonder that night, he could hear Jiang Sui's heart beating so clearly, and the speed was a bit fast. He thought Jiang Sui's heartbeat was higher than normal.

But one thing he couldn't figure out was why Jiang Sui didn't push him away that night?

The doubts were not answered, and the frustration was brought to the swimming pool, which greatly affected Duan Zhuo's take-off reaction.For two consecutive times, he was the last one in the whole group to enter the water. This has never happened in recent months. Even he himself was shocked by the results on the monitor.

After landing, Wang Ye glanced at him with complicated eyes, Duan Zhuo's heart sank a little more, and he apologized in a low voice.

"I just didn't hear clearly."

"What's the matter with you? Did you dig out the earwax or something? Do you want me to kick you before you are willing to go down?"

Duan Zhuo realized that his problem was serious, and silently lowered his head.

Wang Ye is a person who is very clear about public and private affairs. When the same problem arises, he criticizes Duan Zhuo no less than he criticizes Zhang Jiayan.

Duan Zhuo felt like he was holding an AK rifle, and he was shooting at him. Duan Zhuo was sprayed with saliva on his face, but he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it off.

Duan Zhuo’s physical strength has been overdrawn by staying up late for a long time. He relies on willpower to complete the [-]-meter training volume every day, but today he feels very tired after getting into the water, his limbs are weak, and he can’t use his strength. .

When the training was over, Wang Ye called him to the waiting room alone.

It was past normal off-hours and it was just the two of them in the room.Wang Ye turned to pour water, Duan Zhuo put his hands behind his back, and stared at the wilting cactus on the desk without saying a word.

It feels a bit like when he failed the exam when he was a child, he was full of guilt, but he really tried his best.

"Tell me, what's going on today?"

Before Duan Zhuo opened his mouth, Wang Ye added: "Don't give me any excuses such as nervousness, I want to listen to the truth, I don't believe that with your usual training intensity, you can become like this abnormally, this is not the last Olympic Games."

Duan Zhuo felt like a knife had been put on his neck.

"Tell me, maybe I can help you." Wang Ye blew on the tea in the cup and said.

Duan Zhuo hesitated, he couldn't help but make up a reason, family difficulties, or academic problems, he could just pick one out and get away with it, but the person standing opposite him today is Wang Ye - this has something to do with him Same troubled crush.

If there is anyone in this world who can understand his pain and unwillingness with empathy, it is definitely Wang Ye.

After weighing, he confessed: "The relationship is not very smooth, but I will adjust it as soon as possible, and it will not affect the next game."

Wang Ye was scalded by the tea in his mouth, his facial features were twisted together, and he looked at him incredulously: "When did you fall in love? Why didn't I know?"

"No talk, just broken love." In order to let Wang Ye understand better, Duan Zhuo added another sentence, "The kind like you."

Wang Ye may have thought of someone, he was stunned briefly, and then showed a meaningful smile.

"That's really a big deal, understandable."

Although Wang Ye's eyes always showed a little indecency, he didn't gossip about who Duan Zhuo's crush is. He just asked, "Did he reject you? Or is he married too?"

"I'm not married, and I don't have a date, but he must already know that I am interested in him, but he didn't pierce the window paper..."

While Duan Zhuo was talking about his own situation, he was still feeling emotional in his heart.If it was at the beginning of school, he would never believe that he would discuss such a secret private matter with an elder.

"It's not a bad thing if he didn't pierce." Wang Ye said after listening to his analysis.

Duan Zhuo was puzzled: "Why?" In his opinion, Jiang Sui didn't reveal that because he didn't mean anything to him. To put it bluntly, he was rejected.

He couldn't find anything worse.

Wang Ye moved a chair and motioned him to sit down.

"It doesn't mean that he cares about you and the relationship between you." He raised his eyebrows and asked, "If I'm not wrong, he should be someone you often meet around you, right?"

Duan Zhuo did not deny it.

Wang Ye smiled: "Let me tell you this, if he really doesn't have any feelings for you, he must have already had a showdown with you, so that you can give up completely, and he doesn't worry about being embarrassed when we meet in the future, because he I don't care about your feelings at all, do you understand?"

After his explanation, Duan Zhuo suddenly understood why Jiang Sui didn't push him away that night.

"Then, then how do I judge whether this relationship is more inclined towards friendship or..." Duan Zhuo couldn't say the following two words.

Wang Ye put down his teacup, leaned back in his chair, and lazily said, "I don't know, I'm not a fortune teller."

Duan Zhuo lowered his eyelashes, and pinched his fingers back and forth, because his skin was rather dry, and the edges of his nails would often have dead skin curled up. He used his nails to pull them out, which brought out a little blood.

The slight pain reminded him of a picture.

In the beautiful sunset, he sat at Jiang Sui's desk and tutored him in writing.

Jiang Sui was always absent-minded when brushing questions. He caught a glimpse of the dead skin on his fingernails, picked up the nail clippers at hand, and helped him remove them.

Blame only myself for being too greedy and delusionally trying to possess this person for making the situation so bad.

After being quiet for a while, Wang Ye suddenly said, "There are still five days until the competition."

Duan Zhuo nodded.

"If you still want to develop on this road in the future, you must adjust your mentality for me." Speaking of this, Wang Ye leaned forward and solemnly said to him, "Don't just rely on your youth I think there are still many opportunities in the future, but in fact, when you look back at the age of 30, you have only a few opportunities to show your face in the World Championships in your career, which is really very few. More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"I see."

After chatting, they each stood up, and when Duan Zhuo was about to walk out of the door of the lounge, Wang Ye stopped him suddenly, as if he had thought about it seriously before saying: "Maybe when you grow up, you will understand." , the relationship is not only a matter between two people, but also involves various factors such as their families, careers, etc. It is not your problem to be rejected or ignored. Since he chooses to pretend to be deaf and dumb, then you can act with him, just be It is better to restore the relationship of friends than two people who meet but are so embarrassed that they don’t know what to talk about.”

Duan Zhuo suddenly discovered that the dimension of thinking of adults is very different from his. Before, he always thought about how to take Jiang Sui as his own, but he never thought about what Jiang Sui would face when he really came together with him.

Compared with the state Wang Ye described in the end, Duan Zhuo feels that the current situation is not too bad, at least Jiang Sui still regards him as a brother.

This year's National Swimming Championship is scheduled to be held in early May. It will last for six days starting from Saturday. Duan Zhuo's name is under the name of the provincial team, so he has to start with the athletes in the provincial team.

The venue was in other provinces, and they had to take the high-speed train there. In addition to the time to adapt to the environment, the team leader booked tickets for Thursday afternoon.

That night, Wang Ye sent a message in the group, saying that he had a dozen extra tickets on hand, and asked everyone if there were any friends or family members who wanted to go, and they could go directly to him to get the electronic voucher.

When Duan Zhuo saw this news, the first thing Duan Zhuo thought of was Jiang Sui, who had promised that no matter how big or small the event was, he would go to see it whenever he was free.

Duan Zhuo's freestyle preliminaries and finals happened to be scheduled on Saturday and Sunday. The high-speed rail round trip took four hours, and it wasn't too far away. He put down his phone and glanced at the people next door.

Jiang Sui was lowering his head to sharpen his ice skates, and there was a romantic TV series on the computer that didn't seem to require much thought. He was wearing earphones in both ears. Duan Zhuo slid the chair over and touched his arm.

Jiang Sui immediately took off the earphones: "Huh?"

"I'm going to compete in city A this weekend, which is the championship game I told you about last time. Coach Wang said he had some spare tickets and asked if we have any friends who want to go together. I thought of you..." Duan Zhuo Speaking of this, I immediately realized that it was not appropriate, and added, "There are still oranges."

But because it was added boldly, the turning point in the middle was blunt, and it became a cover-up instead.

Jiang Sui was obviously aware of this, the movements of his hands stopped, his eyes were a little dull, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Are you going?" Duan Zhuo asked again in a low voice, "I heard people in the team say a few days ago that there is a street over there that is full of things that cannot be eaten in other places. If you go, I can accompany you Go shopping, it's quite close to the hotel I live in..."

Jiang Sui silently watched him open the tablet, check the distance from the hotel to the old street, and carefully and rigorously calculate the time.

Duan Zhuo may have thought that he would not be discovered if he mixed up his little thoughts in the game, but the anxiety and anticipation in his eyes had already betrayed him completely.

Feeling that his trip might affect Duan Zhuo's concentration during the game, Jiang Sui thought twice, but politely refused.

"Sorry, my sister happens to have her birthday this week, so I have to go back and spend it with her."

"That's it..." Duan Zhuo's eyes flashed a trace of obvious disappointment, but he quickly smiled and said, "Okay, then I will call you again next time, and say happy birthday to your sister for me."

"Ah."

Just when Jiang Sui thought this was over, Cheng Ziyao suddenly turned around and said, "Is your sister's birthday this week? How could I remember it was June..."

Jiang Sui avoided Duan Zhuo's gaze, lowered his head and continued to sharpen his ice blade: "Can't she celebrate her birthday in the lunar calendar?"

"Really?" Cheng Ziyao tilted his head, a little unbelievable. When he was in Heilongjiang, he often celebrated Jiang Yu's birthday. He clearly remembered that it was June, but now it is the beginning of May, even if it is the new and lunar calendars. There is a difference, but not so much.

He likes to get to the bottom of things. He turned to his previous circle of friends and quickly found the evidence. He shouted, "It's obviously June, okay?"

Jiang Sui frowned and said: "Children like to celebrate birthdays. She can't wait to have 360 ​​five birthdays a year and receive 360 ​​five cents gifts, can't she? You are so lenient."

If Duan Zhuo hadn't seen his reddened ears, he definitely wouldn't have questioned Jiang Sui's words, but now, his first reaction was that Jiang Sui didn't want to watch him play.

Caught off guard, there was a soreness at the tip of his nose.

What made him sad was not that Jiang Sui couldn't watch his game, nor that Jiang Sui lied to him, but that he and Jiang Sui needed to rely on these piles of lies to maintain the superficial peace.

Obviously, they used to talk about everything.

At this point, he finally realized one thing, no matter how similar Wang Ye's experience was to his own, it was Wang Ye's, and other people's choices could only be used as a reference after all.

Wang Ye can accept maintaining a false harmony with He Xun, but he can't, he can't accept Jiang Sui talking to him so cautiously.

It took a few seconds for Duan Zhuo to calm down, reached out and pinched Jiang Sui's sleeve, and lifted it twice: "Come out with me."
