Extra 3: Three confessions

Timeline: Wan Ge and Gong Ze in highschool
( They’re not dating yet at the moment)

After five o’clock, the number of students on the playground dropped sharply, and the school basketball players were still in daily training.

As the captain, Gong Ze was helping the team members to do a physical test, pressing the stopwatch, and after the last team member passed the 50-meter mark, he clapped his hands and assembled the team members.

“This is the end of today’s training. Disband.”

A group of big boys clapped and cheered, and after talking to each other, they took their schoolbags and left.

Gong Ze also stayed to organize training equipment, and the school basketball’s deputy captain and friend of Gong Ze, Beech, stayed to help.

Beech is of British Chinese descent and has lived in the UK since he was a child. However, he speaks Chinese very well. It can be said that he met Gong Ze, who is also a Chinese, at first sight, and his friendship has developed rapidly.

The two were chatting and packing up the basketballs. Suddenly Beech stopped and bumped Gong Ze’s shoulder.

“What’s the matter?” Miyazawa looked back at him.

Beech looked outside the court and blinked ambiguously at him: “Your little wife is here to pick you up.”

Hearing that, Gong Ze looked out of the court and saw a thin figure with short black hair leaning on the outermost basketball with his back facing them.

Seeing that little back figure shrunk into a ball, Gong Ze’s eyes softened, speeded up to pack up the basketball, and then hurriedly said to Beech and ran out of the court.

Not long after Wen Ge sat down, he was about to take out the book and look at it. A shadow fell in front of his eyes.

He looked at his watch and then raised his head: “How come today is over so early? I’m going to read the book for a while.”

Gong Ze removed the book in his hand and pulled him up: “The coach is not here today, and the regular training is over.”

He glanced at the thick book in his hand and frowned: “What is this? Why? So thick? Isn’t it still “A Brief History of Time” yesterday ?”

“I finished reading “A Brief History of Time” yesterday. I just borrowed this book from the library, “Shakespeare Poems”.”

Gong Ze’s brows deepened. He put the brick-heavy poetry book into the schoolbag, then took the two people’s schoolbags from Wen Ge’s hand, and walked towards the school gate holding hands, preaching to him as he walked: “Read less and exercise more. You’re going to be a nerd.”

Wen Ge’s attention was focused on the hands held by the two of them. He didn’t hear what he was saying, so he just perfunctorily said.

Thinking of what his classmates said to him before school, a complicated look flashed across his eyes, and he drew his hand back with his mouth pursed.

Gong Ze was telling him about an interesting event that happened today, feeling that his palms were empty, stopped, and turned to look at Wen Ge: “What’s wrong? I pinched you?”

He tried to grab Wen Ge’s hand again, this time no matter how hard it was. Still, the grasping movements are much gentler.

Wen Ge shook his head, originally wanting to withdraw it, but seeing that Miyazawa was so persistent, he gave up, but he resisted dryly: “Zhuang Zhuang, I am 17 years old. I don’t have to hold hands when crossing the road. It’s your brother, even if you protect, I should protect you.”

Gong Ze didn’t hear the resistance in his words, but still clutched his hand tightly, listening to him show his age, curling his lips, and making gestures with his hands.

“How do you protect me? As far as the size of the two of us is concerned, is it still controversial who protects whom? What about three years old, Aunt Wen said that I am more reliable than you, and let me take good care of you. “

Although Wen Ge is three years older than Miyazawa, he is seven or eight centimeters shorter than Gong Ze. At the age of 17, he can reach Gong Ze’s chin now, and he is even a size smaller than Gong Ze.

This makes Wen Ge very depressed, always feeling that his brother’s majesty has been challenged. And now Gong Ze is less and less looking at him as his brother.

Not only does he not call him his brother, but he always protects him in the palm of his hand with a protective gesture, even when he walks on the road, he must be protected inside.

In the past, Wen Ge never felt that something was wrong. After all, the two have been together since they were born. They have been inseparable for more than ten years, and they are closer than many of their brothers.

This is very common for them, but they used to be physically inseparable. He was protecting his younger brother Gong Ze for his elder brother, and now he has become a younger brother protecting his elder brother.

But before school today, an unintentional remark from a classmate made Wen Ge remember, and he began to have doubts about the way the two get along.

“Zhuang zhuang.” Wen Ge whispered.

“Huh? What’s the matter?” A bit cold and a gust of wind passed. Wen Ge shuddered, and Gong Ze naturally put the hands of the two into his pockets.

This action interrupted Wen Ge. He looked at the bulging hands in his pockets, his expression was more complicated, and it took a long time before he remembered what he wanted to say.

“You, what kind of girl do you like?” Wen Ge asked carefully when he looked at Gong Ze’s expression.

Gong Ze paused and looked down at him in surprise: “Why did you ask about this?”

“Nothing, just curiosity.” Wen Ge concealed his emotions and smiled faintly.

Gong Ze looked at him for a long time before turning his head and moving on. Instead of answering his question, he asked him, “Then what about you? What do you like?”

“Me?” Wen Ge said in a suprise. Somewhat embarrassingly, “I didn’t think about it.”

“I really didn’t think about it or did I say this deliberately to coax me? I heard that Susan from your class is pursuing you frantically. I have confessed several times.”

“Where did you come from? Sounds like?” Wen Ge suddenly felt a little guilty. The two were in different classes. He had never told Gong Ze about this, not to mention that he didn’t want him to know. As for the reason, he still can’t let him know.

Gong Ze didn’t speak, just staring at him with a rare seriousness and a faint anger.

Wen Ge was defeated by staring at him and looked at the ground with a guilty heart: “I have rejected her several times, and I have clearly told her that I don’t feel anything for her, but if she doesn’t give up, I can’t help it. Ah.”

After speaking, the voice became smaller and smaller.

Gong Ze’s eyes darkened, but he was relieved, pretending to be relaxed and asked him: “Then who do you feel about? Olivia?”

Olivia is the best-looking girl in Wen Ge and his class, too The school’s recognized school flower, eight out of ten boys want to pursue her.

Several friends who were close to Gong Ze were pursuing Olivia, but they were unsuccessful, because when Olivia rejected them, she personally told them that he had someone he liked.

Although Olivia didn’t tell them exactly who that person was, Gong Ze thought it might be Wen Ge.

First of all, two people are in the same class and spend a lot of time together, and Wen Ge’s appearance is the type that British girls like. He is very popular in school.

Olivia has also praised Wenger’s appearance, and it is said that Olivia often go to Wen Ge when class is over. Every time she talk about something dispensable, he know that she was deliberately looking for excuses to approach.

In conclusion, Gong Ze is 100% sure that Olivia likes Wen Ge. He had been sulking for a week, but because he didn’t know Wenger’s attitude, he didn’t dare to show it in front of him.

Speaking of Olivia, Wen Ge’s expression became more complicated, and he hesitated for a few seconds without knowing how to explain it.

And these few seconds of hesitation seemed to Gong Ze to be tacit, so the suppressed anger in his heart became more vigorous, and his cheeks were bitten tightly.

“Do you really like her?” Gong Ze asked him every word.

Wen Ge shook his head quickly: “No, no.”

But with the strange reaction before, Gong Ze had already determined that Wen Ge was lying, his eyes dimmed a little, and the whole person became much weaker.

“Same.”

“What’s the matter?” Wen Ge looked up at him.

“If, if you have someone you like, you must tell me as soon as possible.” Gong Ze said this in a sad tone.

Wen Ge lowered his head and smiled bitterly, tell you? I’m afraid if I really said it, you would run away.

Sniffing his nose, he raised his head, stood on tiptoe, rubbed Gong Ze’s hair top casually, and said with a smile: “Gong Zhuangzhuang, you are only fourteen years old. It’s too early for a minor to talk about this. I still think about your next basketball game.”

Gong Ze smiled and nodded perfunctorily.

Sure enough, in his eyes, is he just a brother forever?

For the first time, the two people walked together, but there was no noise, and the atmosphere was silent and depressed.

In the days that followed, the squabbling continued as usual. It seemed that there was no change, but something changed. At least afterwards, both of them deliberately avoided any topic related to love.

An inter-school basketball game will be held next month. During this time, the school basketball team is racing against time for training.

As the captain, Gong Ze has to discuss tactics and formulate training plans with the coach in addition to training. Gong Ze didn’t want Wenger to wait four or five hours a day before letting him go home first.

When he got home, Wen Ge would have fallen asleep. After a week, the two of them spent more than ten minutes getting together on the way to school. So they had no chance to meet.

On this day, Gong Ze and his class had no class in the afternoon, and school was over early, and there was still some time before training, so he wanted to meet him in Wen Ge’s class.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the corner of the corridor, he saw Wen Ge standing at the door of the classroom, and in front of him stood Olivia. Gong Ze stopped, the joy of seeing Wen Ge disappeared, and he looked at the two people not far away with sullen faces.

The two stood face to face talking, Gong Ze clearly saw the shyness on Olivia’s face, which was obviously reserved and shy when facing the person he liked.

Gong Ze clenched his hands into fists, and the storm gradually condensed under his eyes. Suddenly Olivia took out a pink letter from her bag, lowered her head, and handed it to Wen Ge.

love letter!

Gong Ze’s pupils shrank, and for a moment he really wanted to rush out and tear the dazzling letter to pieces, but he still resisted it because he wanted to see Wenger’s reaction.

Wen Ge stared blankly at the letter for a few seconds. Gong Ze only felt that his heart was jumping out nervously, praying in his heart “Don’t accept it, don’t accept it!”

But then Olivia said something again, Wen Ge accepted the letter.

When Olivia saw that he received the letter, she was pleased, then smiled and said a few words to him before going down the stairs on the other side.

Compared to Olivia’s uncontrollable joy, Gong Ze’s face was ashamed, his forehead was weakly against the strong, and his heart was a little bit painful.

Wen Ge looked at the letter for a long time, then sighed, put it in his pocket, and was about to return to the classroom, but Yu Guang caught a familiar figure from the back: “Zhuang Zhuang?”

Gong Ze subconsciously stopped and hesitated for a long time. Just turned around. Wen Ge had already walked in front of him.

He was a little surprised and nervous when he saw him, and his right hand quietly pressed the pocket of his clothes: “Why are you here? Did you come to me?”

Gong Ze saw his small movements, but what? I didn’t say anything, I just found an excuse: “I came to the coach to discuss training with him, but he doesn’t seem to be in the office. I still have something to do. You should leave today. I guess it will be quite late.”

“Oh.” Wen Ge nodded disappointedly.

Gong Ze rubbed his hair and left.

“Zhuang Zhuang!” After a few steps, Wen Ge stopped him again.

“Is there anything else?” Gong Ze stopped and asked him.

Wen Ge hesitated to rub the envelope in his pocket, and finally said nothing: “It’s nothing.”
