slow and quick

Waking up the next day, Zheng Man glanced at his phone.

Mom sent a lot of messages, and finally stopped after realizing that the other party refused to communicate.

The last message is: What can't I tell my mother?

Holding the phone, Zheng Man sat on the bed, only feeling that it was difficult to breathe.

He raised his head, forced back the astringency in his eyes, and mechanically clicked on Moments.

After swiping twice, I saw Ji Lin's movement.

It's a photo of what looks like a right leg with a big cut, showing flesh and blood.

Zheng Man's pupils constricted suddenly.

The fingers can barely hold the phone.

Ji Lin, that idiot, also laughed at the accompanying text, saying that the first lesson at the beginning of school is to prove that he is an iron-blooded man.

Zheng Man clicked on the dialog box, wanting to scold him, but also wanting to ask him how he is doing now.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally put down the phone.

Pretend you didn't see it, it's better to pretend you didn't see it.

He had just put down the phone, and before he had time to fold the quilt, the phone rang suddenly.

Pick it up and look, it's Ji Lin.

Zheng Man was stunned.

Holding your phone is like holding a soldering iron.

After a while, it was finally opened.

Ji Lin: Are you on vacation?

Zheng Man looked at the message, not knowing how to reply.

Ji Lin sent a second message: Shall we go home together?

Looking at these words, Zheng Man's eyes became hot.

He changed the subject and asked Ji Lin: What happened to your legs?

Ji Lin glanced at his still-bandaged knee, thinking about whether to sell it badly, and coaxed Manman to book a ticket with him.

After hesitating for a moment, I replied: I just fell, it looked scary, but it was nothing, the pain was gone.

Deceiving.

Zheng Man gritted her teeth, threw the phone on the bed, and turned over by herself.

How could such a big wound go away overnight?

He kicked the chair angrily, stood there, calmed down for a while, and then picked up the phone again.

Zheng Man: That's good.

There was silence on both sides.

After a long time, Zheng Man replied to the previous message: Guoqing will not go back.

Ji Lin was a little dazed: Then where are you staying?

Zheng Man: Dormitory.

There is no way to continue the topic.

Ji Lin replied "Oh", and sat there blankly, not knowing what to do.

All the roommates went to training, and the instructor said that he could come later, for fear that there would be too many people and he would be injured again.

The requested time is nine o'clock, and it will only be 07:30.

Zhou Ya just called him breakfast and put it underneath.

Ji Lin mustered up his courage and sent a message to Zheng Man, thinking about blustering, and then went to eat after finishing talking.

Now I'm a bit reluctant to eat it.

Can't eat it.

There are mooncakes he bought before in his cabinet.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, during military training, Ji Lin wanted to give the mooncakes to Zheng Man.

And then put it until now.

I originally thought of giving it to him when I went back, but now...

He scratched his head in boredom.

Which tendon was wrong before?I don't know what mooncake to buy.

He obviously knew that he couldn't send it out.

Ji Lin glanced at his drawer.

There are more and more gifts that can't be given out.

But the moon cakes can't be put in, the moon cakes won't be long.

In the end, he took the beautifully packaged mooncake back and gave it as a gift.

It also provoked his parents to tell him that he spent money indiscriminately.

By the way, he chanted to his injured leg.

In fact, by the time I got home, I was already much better.

But the National Day is still relatively hot. Wearing shorts like this, exposing scabbed legs is indeed a bit scary.

When Zheng Man's mother came to play, she saw Ji Lin and asked about Zheng Man.

Said that the child refused to come back during the holidays, and now he has not responded to the message, and asked if Ji Lin and Zheng Man have contacted each other.

Ji Lin shook his head silently.

Zheng Man's mother sighed: "I should have noticed when he said before that he didn't want his father to pay the tuition fees and wanted to apply for student loans by himself. But why?"

Ji Lin stared blankly at the TV, a little empty.

Yes.

why?

Manman... what does he want to do?

Ji Lin's mother was still there to persuade her, saying that it was just the child's temper tantrum.

As for why you are angry...

Ji Lin's mother frowned: "Could it be because of the child?"

Zheng Man's mother hesitated: "...It shouldn't be, I treat Man Man the same as I treat Kid, and even treat him better. It's just that Kid is younger and needs my company more."

But it's not impossible.

She still remembered the scene where Zheng Man lost his temper when he was a child, saying that he hated his son and his mother.

In addition, there are always some gossips who gossip about Manman.

Maybe the child did have grievances, but he just kept silent.

Zheng Man's mother sighed: "It's hard, I knew I really shouldn't have given birth to a child."

"Don't let the child hear what you said," Ji Lin's mother quickly reminded her, "otherwise the child should be sad."

Zheng Man's mother could only sigh.

He also said that Ji Lin's mother is as good as she is. There is only one child, so there will be no such dilemma.

Good for this, afraid of having opinions on that.

Be good to that, but worry about this discomfort.

He is obviously very tired, and he has really given almost everything to the two children, but he is not pleasing to both sides.

"The children are all born, and the children are so old, so it's meaningless to talk about it," Ji Lin's mother advised her, "Now I can only find a way to take care of both children."

He also said to let her wait for Manman to be alone for a while, calm down, and then have a good communication with him.

"Children, sometimes you are just a little bit of a dead end, and a little bit of big and small things turn the world upside down. When you grow up, you will know that you think too much. Mom and Dad are always for their own good."

Let Ji Lin pay more attention to Zheng Man.

"We're all in the same city, even if it's not the same school, let's take care of each other," Ji Lin's mother said to him, "After all, you are an older brother. If there is any conflict, if Manman refuses to come to you, you can take the initiative to find him." Let him resolve the conflict."

Ji Lin's mother has always been puzzled by the sudden estrangement between the two children.

Asked why they didn't play together anymore, but refused to answer.

Anyway, Ji Lin's mother decided that it was probably because the children had conflicts.

She even laughed with Ji Lin's father before, saying that she also had a falling out with her best friend when she was a child.

The reason is because she bought a very beautiful flower rope and went to show it to a friend, but the friend said that it was not good-looking and a bit ugly.

The two started arguing.

Then they had a falling out, and they started walking on each side of the road facing the sky.

"Decades have passed in the blink of an eye."

Thinking about it now, I find it quite funny, such a big matter is worth arguing about.

It's such a big thing that I lost a good friend.

After that friend, Ji Lin's mother never had a better friend.

Although we have not been in touch for a long time, but now that I think about who my best friend is when I grow up so old, I still think of her.

So she kept persuading Ji Lin, saying not to lose a friend because of a little conflict or impulsiveness.

"It's easy to get lost, but it's hard to find it again. I regret not coming."

Ji Lin just listened and didn't answer.

It would be fine if the conflict between him and Manman was only because of a small flower rope.

Unfortunately not.

When Ji Lin returned to school after the National Day, he carried a lot of things in big and small bags.

It's all fruit or something.

He said no, he couldn't lift it, and his father laughed at him, saying that he couldn't lift it for such a big guy.

I have to ask him to bring the food, say to share it with the students in the dormitory, and give some to Manman, and by the way, persuade him not to make trouble with the family.

Ji Lin dragged the big and small bags back to the dormitory, and when he opened the door, he saw Zhou Ya's panicked face.

There were still tears on his face, and his eyes and nose were red and swollen from crying.

Ji Yan froze for a moment, and he immediately turned and went to the bathroom.

Ji Lin put down the things, took out the loquat from the bag, walked over, and handed it to him: "Do you want to eat the loquat?"

Zhou Ya looked at the yellow fruit in his hand, paused for a moment, felt sad, and cried even more sadly.

Unable to restrain the grievance any longer, he squatted down and began to cry.

Ji Lin stood there, at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Grandpa Zhou Ya passed away.

The day before the holiday.

He originally asked for leave that night, saying that he was going to play with his brother.

Everyone was still laughing, saying they wanted to see his brother.

As a result, at night, when the counselor checked the bedroom, he told them that Zhou Ya's grandfather was gone.

There was still one day of class, so Zhou Ya asked for leave and went back.

Several roommates were stunned.

Then I heard from the counselor that there were only him and his grandfather in Zhou Ya's family, and now that his grandfather is gone, he has only himself.

They sent a message to Zhou Ya to persuade him to mourn.

But the word mourning is indeed too thin.

Zhou Ya stood up on her knees and said that she would use the toilet.

Then into the toilet.

Ji Lin stood there, looking at the toilet, a little worried.

Zhou Ya's soft sobbing sound came from inside.

He sobbed twice, then held back again.

Let people listen to it, and feel strange.

Ji Lin has never experienced the death of a loved one.

Let alone the only family member.

There is no comfort at all.

Ji Lin kept a small half of those fruits, and sent the other half to Zheng Man.

He was afraid that Zheng Man would not accept him, so he went directly to their school and called Zheng Man.

Zheng Man was playing a game, when he received a call, he froze for a moment.

Turn off the computer and go out.

He wanted to say he brought it in.

When I arrived at the school gate, I was dumbfounded.

There are so many, he really can't take them in.

Ji Lin smiled at him: "Shall I help you move to your dormitory?"

Zheng Man was speechless: "You can only help me move, this is too much."

He asked Ji Lin: "Why did you bring so much? I can't finish it."

"Uncle and my dad bought it, and we each have half," Ji Lin smiled, "It's not a big problem to share with classmates if we can't finish eating. I took the twice as much stuff and drove back to S City all the way."

Of course it's a lie, there are really so many, he can't even come back.

In addition to more than half of the original, he also bought some other fruits or something.

The purpose is to prevent Zheng Man from letting him go after taking something.

I've come all the time, and I always feel that I'm at a disadvantage when I meet you and leave after a few words.

After all, the next time I can find an excuse to come over, I don’t know when it will be.

When Zheng Man mentioned yogurt and apples and oranges, he felt a little headache: "Why did I even bring this from home, it's not like I don't have to buy it."

In fact, I bought it at the school gate.

Ji Lin coughed, and echoed: "I said it too, but those adults didn't listen, there's nothing I can do. It almost broke my hand."

Zheng Man paused, turned his head, and asked him, "How is your leg now?"

It is still itchy, and when the scabs fall off, sometimes the newly grown flesh will be involved, and the pain is like being bitten by tens of thousands of ants.

Ji Lin replied with a smile: "It's ready."

Zheng Man looked away: "Oh."
