My deskmate makes me unwilling to study

Wen Xiao went home, put his hands on the door frame and put on slippers.Grandma was already in her pajamas, seeing him coming back, "Did you send the study materials to the deskmate?"

"Well, I sent it over." Wen Xiao held the black schoolbag in one hand, remembered something, and asked, "Grandma, do you know a person named Qian Zhengliang nearby?"

"Qian Zhengliang?" Grandma thought about it carefully, "I only have a little impression that his parents are both retired workers, and they are very friendly. He himself graduated with a master's degree. Ten or 20 years ago, master's degrees were not common. Why do you think of asking this?"

Wen Xiao tightened his grip on the strap of his schoolbag, and was silent for a few seconds before saying, "It's nothing."

Grandma saw Wen Xiao's expression, and knew that he rarely pays extra attention to other people's affairs on weekdays, let alone asking such a special question like today. She guessed that it might be more than "hearing someone chatting", but Wen Xiao obviously didn't want to. Meaning, grandma said gently: "If you have anything, you can tell grandma."

Wen Xiao nodded: "Okay."

The three mathematics syllabus were all placed on the desk, Wen Xiao picked out a dark blue pen, and made marks while reading it.After reading a page, he couldn't help looking through the window again.

There were not many lights on in the whole building across the street. He saw the lights of Chi Ye's house turn on, and after a while, they went off again.

Grandma's words lingered in his ears - this should be the impression of Qian Zhengliang from the people nearby.Just like Chi Ye said, in the eyes of others, that scumbag has an education, a decent job, and a complete family. No one will easily believe Yaya's words, and even think that Yaya learned to lie at a young age , Sure enough, there is no adult at home to teach.

Leaning back on the back of the chair, Wen Xiao stared at the ceiling in a daze until the phone beeped.

On the chat interface of WeChat, a pitch-black profile shot up, and only two words were sent, "Come out?"

Wen Xiao stared at Chi Ye's head, and suddenly thought—is this the same as the sky above his head?

After replying with the word "yes", Wen Xiao put down his pen, got up and went out.

As soon as he walked out of the building, he saw Chi Ye standing upright under the old street lights in the community, his eyes fell on a certain position, thinking about something.As if eyes were growing behind him, he turned around, with a usual smile on the corner of his mouth, "Did you come down?"

"En." Wen Xiao approached, "Where are you going?"

Ikeno shook the white plastic bag in his hand, "The stadium?"

"Let's go."

The paint on the surface of the basketball hoop has long since fallen off, revealing a reddish-brown rusty inside, which is very rough.

Wen Xiao straightened his long legs, took the can of beer from Chi Ye, opened it with one hand, and handed it back again.

Ikeno didn't answer.

Wen Xiao: "Isn't it handicapped?"

Remembering the last time I was on the school basketball court, I asked him to help open drinks—understanding the origin of the "handicapped" stalk, Chi Ye took the beer cans that were handed over, and gave the rest of the unopened ones to Wen Xiao, "Yes , the degree of disability is a bit high, and it has not recovered yet, thank you Teacher Xiaowen for caring about the handicapped party."

"You're welcome." At the same time as the words fell, Wen Xiao's finger was pierced through the metal-colored pull ring, and with a "pop", white air slowly came out.

He put it to his lips and took a sip.

Chi Ye waited for him to finish drinking, touched it close to him, and regarded it as a toast, raised his head after touching it, and drank it clean in a few sips.

The Adam's apple swallowed up and down, the muscles in the side neck stretched, and blue blood vessels stood out.

Wen Xiao looked at it, took another can from the plastic bag, opened it, and placed it between the two of them.

After drinking, Chi Ye breathed out, "Ya Ya is coaxed to sleep." After a few seconds, he continued, "I was crying before going to bed, and I held my hand and said I wanted my mother."

It's late spring, the surrounding leaves are turning green, and when the wind blows, there are rustling sounds in my ears.

The two of them just sat like this, listening to the soft rustling of leaves for a long time, I don't know how long it took, Wenxiao finished a can of beer before they heard Chi Ye's hoarse voice, every word was very low and deep, "I can't save you!" Come back to my mother's life, I have no other choice but to watch her get weaker day by day. I also didn't take good care of my sister."

After the last sentence was spoken, Wen Xiao heard that Chi Ye's voice was unsteady, and the can was pinched and deformed in his hand.

"But, what can I do? I can't do anything except beat that scum hard and warn him not to approach my sister. I can scare him once," Chi Ye said in a hoarse voice, " What else can I do, can I maim him, kill him? I can't. When I do it, I warn myself over and over again, I can't commit a crime, I can't have an accident, if something happens to me, what will they do .”

"They only have me."

He is like a trapped animal bound by chains, thinking before and after, he can't take a wrong step.

Throwing the empty can in his hand viciously, two seconds later, with a "boom", it fell into the dark blue trash can.Ikeno picked up the can at hand, shook the cold liquor inside, and took a sip down his throat.

Without speaking, Wen Xiao held his own can and drank with Chi Ye.

The wine was swallowed one by one, and the stomach throbbed.Wen Xiao's usually bloodless face was covered with a thin layer of red.He shook the beer can in his hand, and the little liquid hit the wall, making a loud noise.In the silence, he said to himself, "I also had a younger sister before."

Ikeno stopped drinking.He discovered Wen Xiao's words - before.

Wen Xiao didn't look at him, but only stared at the shadow under her feet.On weekdays, he would never say these words, maybe because of drinking, or maybe for other reasons, he heard himself say, "I used to have parents, but now they are gone, they are right in front of me, Slowly out of breath."

His voice was still as cold as usual, but when he said this sentence, his tail sound was as light as smoke.

At that time, both his parents were seriously injured, and the blood kept flowing, which could not be distinguished when it was dissolved in the sea water, but he could smell the thick and pungent smell of sea and rust.Soon after his sister closed her eyes, they couldn't hold on any longer. With the last bit of strength, his mother tied his hands tightly to the floating board, and his fingertips became numb.She was completely exhausted, unable to speak, just crying and laughing, looking at him, looking at him, looking at him.

Memories were like a sharp knife, picking apart his closed blood scabs one by one, Wen Xiao closed his eyes.

The salty sea water overflowed from his surroundings, inch by inch, and gradually submerged his ankles, calves, and knees.The drenched cloth stuck to the skin, suffocating.He was as stiff as a wooden sculpture, unable to move at all. In the next second, he would be swept by the vortex and sink to the bottom of the sea.

Until someone firmly grasped his wrist, "Wen Xiao!"

Wen Xiao slowly opened his eyes, unable to focus for a moment: "What?"

Chi Ye let go of his hand, and the heat on his palm was blown away by the wind. He replied, "It's nothing."

Both of them stopped talking, and it didn't take long for several soda cans to be emptied.

The consequence of intemperance was that Wen Xiao didn't get up according to his usual biological clock the next morning, and slept until ten o'clock.

With a stuffy head, he stood up with his forehead propped up, and he didn't put on the right slippers once, so he simply stepped on the floor with bare feet to go to the bathroom.After washing up, I packed my schoolbag a few times, put on my school uniform and went out.

Before he had time to eat breakfast, Wen Xiao went to the bus stop with his schoolbag on one shoulder. Before getting on the bus, he realized something and asked the bus driver, "Master, what day is it today?"

"Saturday." The driver saw him standing still at the door, "Get in the car?"

Wen Xiao backed up: "No more."

After Route 117 left, Wen Xiao retreated behind the platform and sent a WeChat message to Chi Ye: "."

Chi Ye returned quickly: "Are you awake?"

Both of them deliberately did not bring up the topic of last night, probably some emotions can only exist in the dark.

Wen Xiao lowered her head and typed, "I'm wearing a school uniform, carrying a schoolbag, and I'm at the bus stop."

Five seconds after clicking send, the reply came back with a long string of "hahaha".

Wen Xiao quit WeChat, it's pure if you don't see it.

He couldn't go to school, so Wen Xiao walked back, and within a few steps, he saw Chi Ye coming towards him.

He pretended not to see, and continued to move forward without stopping.

Until the moment they rubbed shoulders, Chi Ye raised his hand and grabbed his arm, leaning his head towards him, rubbing his ears against his ears, and said with an obvious smile: "I shouldn't laugh at you."

Wen Xiao glanced at Chi Ye—sincere?

The two walked back together.

Unlike Wen Xiao, Chi Ye didn't walk properly, and when he saw a leaf fall on the road, he would kick it like a football.

He was obviously laughing when he was talking, no different from usual, but Wen Xiao looked at him and always felt that his eyes were very irritable, as if there was some emotion that was tightly suppressed, and he couldn't suppress it.

Pulling the strap of the schoolbag, Wen Xiao asked, "What are you doing now?"

"Go to the store. I got up in the morning and delivered a batch of goods. I have nothing else to do today." Chi Ye looked at Wen Xiao's expression and tentatively invited: "Let's play backgammon together?"

"Well, let's go."

It was said to be playing backgammon, but when the two arrived at the store, they didn't take a pen or paper.Taking a can of iced Coke from the freezer, Chi Ye handed it to Wen Xiao, "Here you are, the world-renowned spermicide."

"Your notes are redundant." Wen Xiao sat on the sofa and reached out to take it.The cuffs retracted with the movement, revealing a thin and white wrist.

The morning sun brightened the room a bit. Someone came to buy light bulbs. Chi Ye held his phone and did not move. Wen Xiao got up to find the goods, and asked in a loud voice, "How much?"

Only then did Chi Ye lazily reply: "Eighteen."

After collecting the money, Wen Xiao sat back on the sofa, seeing him staring at the phone without turning his eyes, "Why are you so focused?"

"Class group, Zhao Yiyang has opened up a side job, studying astrology and numerology, and posted a link to the astrology compatibility index in the group." Chi Ye reported his own first, "I am NO.16 in December, Sagittarius, I think Look... damn it, you actually said that I am a playboy, I am clearly concentrating on—”

"Stubborn sixty?"

"Yes," Chi Ye asked him, "What about you, what constellation?"

"February NO.16, water bottle."

"Isn't that when you transferred to another school, just after your birthday?"

Just as he was talking, Zhao Yiyang in the group called Chi Ye, "Brother Chi, what constellation do you have, I'll help you find your destined soul mate!"

Ikeno replied casually: "Shooter."

Soon, Zhao Yiyang turned on the mic directly and sent a voice message: "Brother Chi, let me figure it out, there is a zodiac sign who is a natural match with you, the matching index is 90.00%, and the mutual love index is five stars! Guess what it is constellation?"

Chi Ye always thought that only the girls in the class would read these constellations and numerology. He didn't believe in fate. If he believed in fate, he would have fallen down somewhere.

Soon, Zhao Yiyang's second voice came out again.There is a small red dot dotted on the voice bar, Chi Ye opened it habitually, and Zhao Yiyang's excited voice came out of the receiver immediately: "It's Aquarius!"

His gaze shifted from the phone screen to Wen Xiao's face, and Chi Ye's eyes were full of smiles, and he repeated in order: "A natural couple, a matching index of 90.00%, and a love index of five stars, at the same table, do you have any?" what idea?"
