"Pour some hot water quickly!" Zhou Weiqi shouted hurriedly.

Only after drinking a cup of hot water could He Kaiyan continue speaking.

Because his parents' work locations often changed, He Kaiyan has been changing schools since elementary school.

However, he is lively and outgoing by nature. Whenever he arrives in a new environment, he can integrate into it quickly, and everyone likes to play with this new classmate.

When He Kaiyan was in junior high school, his father settled down in a city considering his studies.

It was at this time that he met his most special friend - Xiao Mo.

He Kaiyan has seen many smart children and many introverted and silent children, but Xiao Mo is different from them.

He is not a talkative person. Ever since He Kaiyan became his deskmate, he seems to have not said a single word.

Even if he was knocked down or someone stole his things, he would leave the classroom without saying a word and would not come back until the next class was over.

He Kaiyan was very curious about his deskmate. Their school had strict management and students were not allowed to drink water during class. Even if they were sick, they had to hold back their coughs.

But Xiao Mo actually skipped classes, more than once, and the teacher never criticized him.

He wanted to know why Xiao Mo was special, so he secretly went to the teacher's office after Xiao Mo left his seat.

"Teacher Ren, my deskmate didn't come to class last time. Is he sick?"

He Kaiyan said this while observing the teacher's expression.

Teacher Ren is the youngest among all the teachers and she likes to chat with students. This is why He Kaiyan went to her for advice.

He Kaiyan didn't expect that when he heard this, Teacher Ren's face changed instantly.

"Kaiyan, I know you are a good kid who cares about your classmates, but Xiaomo is a little special, and I can't explain it to you." Teacher Ren said patiently, "If he doesn't come to class, just pretend you didn't see him. But if Xiaomo hasn't come back by the end of the school, come and tell me, okay?"

The doubt was not resolved, and He Kaiyan felt like there was a kitten scratching his heart, making him uneasy.

He decided that the next time Xiao Mo left the classroom, he would follow him to see what was going on.

However, such opportunities do not come often. Xiao Mo can skip classes, but he cannot.

He pondered for several days and finally came up with a way to solve Xiao Mo's secret without being blamed by the teacher.

That day was also a Friday, and the school stipulated that the second to fourth classes every Friday afternoon were the time for extracurricular activities.

Students in the first and second grades can participate in club activities during these three classes, or go to interest classes at the start of school. Students who do not have clubs and do not want to attend classes can also choose to go to the playground to exercise.

He Kaiyan transferred here later and missed the club's recruitment. The courses in the interest classes were nothing more than basic courses in music, painting or instrumental music, which he had already learned in elementary school.

During the lunch break at noon, He Kaiyan found a "troublesome" student in the class, nicknamed "Brother Tian".

He is tall and strong, and often likes to bully the thin students in the class, especially those soft-hearted kids like Xiao Mo who will just swallow their anger when being bullied.

"Brother Tian, ​​do me a favor. After this is done, I will lend you my game console for a month." He Kaiyan said in a low voice.

When Tian Ge heard the word "game console", his eyes lit up.

Brother Tian had once seen a kid from a wealthy family playing a video game console. The games on that console were much richer than those on a cell phone, and you could even play boxing.

As far as he knew, there were only a few people in the entire school who owned game consoles, which cost several thousand dollars. Parents from ordinary families would definitely not buy game consoles for their children.

However, the cell phones used by this transfer student named He all cost around five or six thousand yuan, so his family must be well-off.

Now that there was a game console delivered to his doorstep, Brother Tian agreed immediately, "Okay, I'll do whatever you ask me to do. Did some hooligans bully you? I'll go and beat them up!"

He Kaiyan shook his head. He leaned close to Tian Ge's ear and whispered, "That's not the case. You just need to do me a small favor..."

After listening to this, Brother Tian was a little surprised, "That's it?"

He thought it was a very important matter and was prepared to be beaten up by the senior students.

He Kaiyan reminded again: "As long as you... it's fine, it's best to pretend that you were careless. After school, you come home with me and I'll give you the game console. There's no one at my house, so we can play on the computer together for a while."

Brother Tian nodded, patted He Kaiyan on the shoulder, and promised to complete the task.

Because he was always thinking about this matter, He Kaiyan felt that time passed quickly and the first class in the afternoon was over.

He looked back and Brother Tian also gave him a look. Then He Kaiyan pretended to walk out of the classroom, but actually observed the situation inside from the back door.

According to the plan made by the two, Brother Tian waited until most of the class had left before he stood up shakily.

He slapped the boy in front of him hard on the shoulder. The boy also had a bad temper and yelled, "Are you sick? Are you looking for death?"

"It's just a slap on you, is that a big deal?" Brother Tian smiled frivolously, "You're so squeamish, don't call yourself a man in the future, go to the toilet next door."

This was a bit insulting, and the boy stood up suddenly. Although he was not as tall as Brother Tian, ​​he was very strong.

He slapped Brother Tian in the face, and Brother Tian fell backwards, knocking over a bunch of tables and chairs.

"No, I didn't use any force either." The boy looked at his palms, "Hey, are you pretending?"

"Then come out with me! I'll let you know if I'm pretending!"

"Come out if you want! Am I afraid of you?"

The two people pushed and shoved each other out of the classroom and went directly to the outside of the teaching building.

The classroom was in a mess, even He Kaiyan's own desk was knocked over, but he knew that their plan was successful.

Xiao Mo still looked calm. He slowly picked up the table as if nothing had happened just now.

Suddenly, all his facial features wrinkled together, as if something terrible had happened.

He quickly lay on the ground and started searching. He looked extremely disheveled, with even half of his glasses frame tilted.

"Where did you go... Where did you go..."

Ever since he became deskmate with Xiao Mo, He Kaiyan had never seen him so excited, and he felt a little bit sorry for him.

But the thing was in Tian Ge's hand. In order to avoid Xiao Mo's suspicion, He Kaiyan asked Tian Ge to hand the thing to him after school.

Xiao Mo stood up suddenly. He seemed to give up searching and rushed out of the classroom.

He rushed out towards the side door of the teaching building, heading in the opposite direction of He Kaiyan who was hiding at the back door of the classroom.

He Kaiyan hesitated for a moment, but still followed.

That curiosity has completely disappeared, replaced by regret and fear.

Xiao Mo is an introvert by nature. If that thing happened to be a relic of his family, and Xiao Mo did something outrageous after being provoked, wouldn’t he have made a big mistake?

So, for Xiao Mo's safety, he should also go and take a look.

He Kaiyan didn't expect that someone like Xiao Mo would actually skip school.

He seemed to have known that there was a hole in the school's iron fence, and because the surrounding area was covered with dense ivy, the hole could not be seen at all at a glance.

Xiao Mo nimbly pushed aside the thick vines, quickly crawled through, and tidied the vines at the other end.

Could it be that every time Xiao Mo missed a class, he went out of school?

But what can a middle school student do outside?

Xiao Mo didn't seem to be a child from a wealthy family, and he never went to the school supermarket to buy snacks. He Kaiyan was sure that his family would not give him much pocket money.

Whether it is an amusement park, video game arcade, coffee shop or fast food restaurant, none of them can be afforded by Xiao Mo.

With a bunch of questions in mind, He Kaiyan also pushed aside the vines.

He first looked outside and saw that Xiao Mo had already walked far away and showed no sign of turning back. Then He Kaiyan followed Xiao Mo's example and crawled through the cave.

Maybe because Xiao Mo often goes out from here, the iron wires at the edge of the hole are wrapped with tape. After He Kaiyan crawled through, he was not scratched by the iron wires.

He arranged the vines back to their previous shape to avoid being discovered by Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo's figure was gradually walking away, and He Kaiyan hurriedly followed. He tried his best to control the distance between him and Xiao Mo. The two were about four or five meters apart, and He Kaiyan kept walking along the edge of the street.

If Xiao Mo turned around or looked back, he could immediately go into the street next to him.

However, Xiao Mo never looked back from beginning to end, and his steps were hurried, as if someone was chasing him.

When passing the first intersection, Xiao Mo suddenly jogged into the alley on the left.

"That's...the swimming pool over there?" He Kaiyan muttered to himself.

Although the weather is getting warmer, it is a little too unbelievable to skip school and go swimming in the swimming pool.

What's more, Xiao Mo didn't even have a bag on him, so it was impossible for him to carry swimming trunks, a swimming cap, goggles and the like.

When passing by the swimming pool, Xiao Mo did not go in, but continued walking forward.

Until he came to a crossroads again, and this time, he chose the opposite direction.

He Kaiyan followed him closely, guessing his destination from time to time, but he guessed wrong every time.

Xiao Mo didn't seem to be heading to a specific destination, but was just going around in circles like a headless fly. Many of the routes he took were repetitive. He Kaiyan even suspected that he had discovered that he was being followed, so he was playing a trick on him.

Before they knew it, they were near the tracks at the edge of the city.

There used to be a green train going to the next city, but for some unknown reason, the service was cancelled and the train was left parked on the abandoned track.

He Kaiyan had heard about this incident from his parents, but he had never seen the forgotten train with his own eyes.

He Kaiyan hid behind a tall sycamore tree and watched Xiao Mo climb in through the train window nimbly.

What's in there?

Since it is a once abandoned train, there must be some things left behind by tourists, and there may also be snacks and drinks that are commonly sold on trains.

However, it has been abandoned for several years, and the food and other things are probably expired long ago.

He Kaiyan was not a quiet child. At this moment, his curiosity and excitement burned like a raging fire again.

He wanted to go in and take a look. He had never ridden a green train before. What was the difference between a green train and an ordinary train?

However, although the train is long and narrow, the space inside is not large.

If He Kaiyan were to go in, he would most likely be discovered by Xiao Mo, and he would have to explain to Xiao Mo why he was following him. Xiao Mo might even think he was a pervert with a stalking habit, and then he would be too ashamed to face anyone.

He Kaiyan took a deep breath and took out a dice from his pocket.

As a person with severe decision-making difficulty, he must seek help from external forces to help him make decisions.

This dice is the most common six-sided dice. If you lose it, there is no need to feel sad.

"If the number is odd, go in. If the number is even, go back to school." He Kaiyan said silently in his heart.

He placed the dice in his palm, then leaned over and threw it.

The white dice rolled a few times and finally stopped at his feet. The number on it was "3".

He Kaiyan took a deep breath, picked up the dice and rolled it twice more.

"Just think of it as best of three."

The result of the second time is still "3", and the third time is the same number.

He Kaiyan was extremely surprised. The probability of rolling three identical numbers in a row was very low.

But he didn't think much about it. Since God let him in, he was mentally prepared to confess to Xiao Mo.

The car window was at least two meters above the ground and the door had been locked long ago. He Kaiyan could only do the same as Xiao Mo, first climbing onto the stacked boxes and then climbing in through the car window.

No one knew what was in the box, but it made a creaking sound when he stepped on it. He Kaiyan was afraid that he would fall down.

He always used to think that Xiao Mo was a weak and sickly person, but today his opinion has changed. How could he move so lightly, as if he was a gray magpie with wings?

He lay awkwardly on the window, with no support on the other side, so He Kaiyan could only jump onto the dark red leather seat.

He pinched his nose, but could still smell a faint musty odor, accompanied by choking dust.

The left and right sides of the carriage are filled with seats of the same color, and at first glance, one can feel an inexplicable sense of fear from the bottom of one's heart.

He Kaiyan sat in the chair and rested for a while. The seat was very hard, and the backrest was made of two pieces of plastic boards without any cushion.

After a few minutes, his back and waist began to ache. I really don't know how people who used to take the train managed to persevere.

"I have to go find Xiao Mo."

As he thought about it, he looked back cautiously.

The carriage he came from was exactly 01, which was the front carriage, so Xiao Mo could only have gone to the back.

But the train ride was too long. He Kaiyan looked for a long time, his eyes were sore, but he still couldn't find Xiao Mo.

He decided to walk to the back first, hoping that he would find something thrilling and exciting.
