almost lonely

Through the glass, I saw Ning Juechen standing on the opposite side of the road anxiously waiting for the red light.Ning Juechen was wearing an old smoky gray padded jacket that Lu Juelan wore the year before last. It was too thin and narrow to wear, so it couldn't hold it up at all. He looked as pitiful as ever.

This kid can be said to be growing up very well recently, like a jointed bamboo shoot.It's just that he is tall but not fleshy, and the taller he is, the thinner he looks. Every time Xu Ye looks at his two chopstick-like legs, he is afraid that he will accidentally break them while walking one day.

As soon as the green light came on, Ning Juechen ran to the opposite side, opened the store door and looked inside, Xu Yi raised his good hand to greet him: "Here!" Ning Juechen's eyes flashed, and he stood still.Xu Ye urged him: "What are you doing, come here quickly!" Ning Juechen frowned and stared at his right hand that was hanging around his neck with a plaster cast, and slowly rubbed it over: "Brother Yi."

Seeing that his eyes were a little red, Xu Ye teased him carelessly: "Are you crying from distress or fright?" Ning Juechen sniffed: "No, it's too cold outside." Xu Ye Seeing that he didn't wear a scarf or gloves, and his lips were blue from the cold, he felt a little embarrassed: "Actually, I mainly want you to take me back, because I can't ride a bike anymore."

Ning Juechen glanced at the bicycle parked outside the window: "Then how did you ride it over?" Xu Ye raised his eyebrows, very confidently: "Of course it came with one hand holding the handlebar." Ning Juechen Juechen looked at him with the eyes of a caring fool: "You are so skilled and bold, why don't you ride back in the same way."

He has recently activated his taunting skills, but only in front of Xu Ye, and will automatically release it for a short time when he is cornered.Xu Ye is not used to being teased by him: "You were not like this before!"

Ning Juechen asked him fiercely what he did, and Xu Ye said that he had a fight with that idiot Wu Tian in the morning.When he said this, Xu Ye was so excited that he thumped the table, and successfully involved the wound, he couldn't help but let out a scream.

For a moment, Ning Juechen really looked like he was about to cry. He stretched out his fingers to touch Xu Ye's arm, but he was a little afraid of hurting him.Xu Ye thought that according to his performance, he should say something tender and affectionate, but Ning Juechen looked at him silently for a while, and then uttered two words: "It deserves it."

"Do you know that Wu Tian made your brother's car. Didn't I go to the gymnasium to play basketball in the morning, but I ran into that idiot Wu Tian. I just walked behind him and heard him very proudly telling someone how he cut it The brakes of Jue Lan’s car had two screws removed. I became angry when I heard it, and when he was alone, I dragged him into the alley and beat him up.”

"How many arms did Wu Tian break?"

"I didn't count, it should be one or two."

"Oh. That doesn't seem to make any money."

"But he fell to the ground after the fight, and I can ride to the hospital by myself! Obviously I won, okay?"

"... Something is wrong."

"What? Didn't hear clearly."

"I said, well, it makes sense."

Ning Juechen drove Xu Ye home. He originally wanted to take a taxi, but Xu Ye refused: "Although my car is not as good as your brother's, I still don't feel at ease just parked outside like this. Come on, I believe Your car skills." Ning Juechen has only used cars to transport goods, but never transported people.He stepped into the car tremblingly, thinking to himself, but I don't believe it myself.

Xu Ye sat on it, and naturally reached out to wrap Ning Juechen around.After walking around for a while, I realized that Ning Juechen was like a kitten with fur in winter, his waist was full of cotton-padded jacket emptiness, he could hold it down as soon as he pressed it, and Xu Ye could wrap him all around with one arm.

Ning Juechen began to blush again, and moved a little uncomfortably: "You...don't get too close to me, I'm not good at riding a bicycle." Xu Ye didn't know if it was real or pretending, and began to cry bitterly pain.Ning Juechen panicked immediately, and didn't dare to move anymore, for fear of bumping into him again.

They shuttled through the streets and alleys of Jingcheng.Ning Juechen rode very slowly, he always tried to use this self-deceiving way to prolong the time alone with Xu Ye.Xu Yi's hand around his waist was so tight that he was in a daze, and asked a very self-righteous question, and by the time he realized it, he couldn't take back the words.

He said, "Why did you call me, not my brother?"

"Fuck, he will definitely laugh at me, okay, it would be too fucking embarrassing to have my hand broken by Wu Tian. You are not allowed to tell him that it was the same at my grandma's place, just say that I stepped on the ice and fell." Xu Ye finished. He poked Ning Juechen's waist with his finger, "Did you hear that?" Ning Juechen was afraid of tickles, the front of the car suddenly tilted to one side, and he hurried back: "It's even more embarrassing to fall."

Xu Ye continued to poke him: "Wow, I found that you have become more and more skinny recently, little heartless. Am I not for you? If it weren't for that idiot, would you be so wronged?"

Ning Juechen felt as if his heart was scratched lightly and quickly by a feather, he licked his dry and cold lips, and repeated softly: "For me?"

"Yes, for you." Xu Yi said.

——Suddenly small snowflakes floated in the sky, everything was as beautiful as a dream, and also like the beautiful lies you coaxed me.

Later, this matter was still not hidden, because the villain Wu Tian filed a complaint first, his parents aggressively blocked Feng Feng's office to ask for an explanation, Xu Ye was called away from English class, the two almost had another fight in the office, a group of adults pulled I can't hold back.

Ning Juechen saw that he hadn't come back after two classes, so he slipped to the bathroom and called him: "Brother Yi, are you still in the office?" Xu Ye's voice sounded dull: "No, I'm in the hospital. I hit my hand, come here Correct it again."

Ning Juechen didn't speak for a while, Xu Ye thought the signal was not good, so he yelled twice.Ning Juechen asked him in a low voice: "The bones won't grow crooked, right?" Xu Yi said: "That's not true, I just have to hang for a few more days. It's so cool, I don't need the final exam."

Ning Juechen has been intentionally controlling Xu Ye for the past few days, but Xu Ye is too tigery, he is still restless after breaking his hand.Ning Juechen didn't allow him to play on the playground, didn't allow him to touch basketball, and didn't allow him to eat spicy food.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ye could get himself into the hospital after just going to the office. Ning Juechen got angry when he heard his heartless tone, and hung up the phone without saying a word.

But after school, Xu Ye forcibly took him home. Xu Ye's original words were, "Come home with me and help me drink bone soup! I drank almost a ton these days, and I'm going to vomit if I drink any more." Ning Jue Chen ignored him, pretending not to hear.

Xu Ye started to play tricks again, Ning Juechen paused, turned around and came back slowly, looking up at him angrily: "Do you really hurt or is it fake?"

Xu Ye grabbed his schoolbag strap and dragged it over: "It hurts, it hurts, the doctor said I have to keep a happy mood, otherwise this hand won't get better, so don't make me angry!" Ning Juechen was turned upside down by him The ability of black and white is shocking: "Who is making someone angry..."

They took the bus home, Ning Juechen carefully kept Xu Ye behind him, afraid that others would touch his hand.It happened to be school time, and there were so many people in the car, Ning Juechen's quilt was stuck on Xu Yi's body.

He quickly grasped the ring to stand firm, turned his head to see if he had bumped into Xu Ye, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.Xu Ye looked at him innocently, and spit out a sentence without thinking: "Chenchen, you smell so sweet." It seemed to smell like milk shower gel, very sweet.

Ning Juechen blushed instantly, frowned and glared at Xu Ye, then squeezed sideways through the crowd and stood opposite.But when there were many people at the station, Xu Ye hummed half-truthfully, and Ning Juechen squeezed back to him. Although he knew that Xu Ye was probably faking it again, his worry was real.He grabbed the handrail and ring to protect Xu Ye inside.

Xu Ye drove Lu Juelan to school when Lu Juelan was injured, and Xu Ye couldn't ride a bicycle after a while.The two physically disabled people were going to take the bus, but Lu Chengxiong was worried and insisted on taking them off in person, so Ning Juechen and Xu Ye went to and from school together these few days.

Ning Juechen couldn't help being a little bit unconcealably happy in his heart, but also felt that this kind of thinking was very selfish and bad.He has been particularly sensitive recently, and he always thinks of Lu Chengxiong's words "You really think he is something good" in the corridor of the hospital that day.

He thought that a good person should not be happy at this time, he wanted to be a good person.

He wanted to be likable, or at least not distasteful.

The bone soup that day was boiled very thick and white, and Ning Juechen drank a small bowl of it fragrantly, and his whole body felt warm.Then he inherited grandma's spirit, took over grandma's rolling pin, and supervised Xu Ye to drink up the rest, even sucking up all the marrow in the big bone with a straw.

Ning Juechen checked them one by one, and had to go back to work if he didn't eat clean.When Xu Ye poured the third bowl of soup under the control of his rolling pin, he began to doubt his life: "Is this different from what you said?!"

The fight is not over yet, it has been going on for several days.Wu Tian asked the school to punish Xu Ye, Feng Feng intervened in the middle, and asked Xu Ye to call the parents to apologize to Wu Tian's family together, and the matter was over.

Xu Ye went up against the case in the office, saying that I want Lao Tzu to apologize to him and dream about it. He was the one who flirts first when he makes small moves. He also said that he should give me a warning or write it down casually, but you dare to tell my grandma about it? It's not over with you.

Feng Feng originally wanted to make big things small and small things small, but if he disturbed him like this, as the class teacher, he would lose face first, and this matter stuck here.

During this turbulent final exam week, Ning Juechen had the courage to do two things: one was to secretly write a self-criticism in Xu Ye's handwriting to help him reconcile with Feng Feng; The night before the volunteer form, I crossed out the "wen" in the liberal arts and changed it to "reason".

Later, in the second year of high school, they chatted about the crisis by chance.
