I still don't want to go to school today

His mother didn't seem to understand why, so he was silent for a while.

"What are you doing? I'm telling you business—"

"I know. Really," he tried to sound normal, "I know. Good. I'll—"

He clamped the piece of paper secretly held in his palm between his fingers, and wiped his face hastily after turning his back.In order to conceal it better, he also picked up the kettle from the coffee table at the same time—but he seemed to have a problem with estimating the weight of the kettle.

The actual force required is far from the psychological expectation.There was a loud noise as if the marble floor tiles were about to crack.

He took a step back before the pain in his foot came through.After staying for a while, I felt that the pain had passed and I was able to move again, so I wrapped my fingers in paper and gathered the pieces on the ground together.

"What do you mean? Show me face?" His mother slapped the table, "Speak up!"

He threw the pieces into the trash.The feeling on his feet was a bit strange. He lowered his head and saw a small piece of skin on the back of his feet that was stretched high, and it was extraordinarily smooth.For a split second he thought he saw the limb of another creature.

"Mom." He didn't have time to manage his tone, so this sentence was crying. "……It hurts."

But he didn't expect his mother to rush over and stare at his feet and scream, and was about to fire again, but when she looked up and saw his face, she swallowed all the words.

She opened her mouth, her nose moved, her facial muscles began to shift, and then she cried bitterly.

Fu Luojia felt a hand that was too trembling to pat his face.

"I've told you countless times—!! Countless times!!! Don't cry!!! Don't cry even if it hurts!!!"

……

"Stop for a moment..." The strength in Fu Luojia's hand suddenly increased, Xu Zhijian stretched his legs and stopped the car.

Fu Luojia got off the back seat, stepped on a little rainwater tucked in the low-lying part of the road, and jumped onto the sidewalk with one leg.

The weather suddenly became severe a few days ago, and the school uniform jacket could no longer be worn.The rising temperature was slightly blocked by a torrential rain in the early morning of this morning-although it is already a sunny noon, the air is still refreshing.

The trees on the side of the county road are beginning to lose their leaves.I don't know what species it is, but they are indeed starting to lose their leaves this season.

A handful of dead leaves were planted on the wet ground, and it was a little scary to watch.

"Has the gauze slipped away again?"

"...Well." Fu Luojia bowed his head, pinched a piece of gauze hanging down with his fingers and lifted it up.

The location where the hot water focuses is rather awkward, neither up nor down, slanting across the heel and ankle, and spreading a little to the instep.The doctor didn't dare to wrap the gauze too tightly, but wound it loosely to cover the ointment, and finally tied the knot on the unburned calf.

Slipknots often slip down the calf and hang down to the ankle.Hanging the knot will unravel, and then the whole wrap will come loose.

Very troublesome.It's okay to be loose in the classroom, but it's annoying to be loose on the back seat of Xu Zhibian's bicycle from time to time.

Xu Zhibian pushed the car onto the sidewalk.

"Don't tie the knot, it will be inconvenient to change the medicine."

Fu Luojia unwrapped the loop he just put on, calmed down and tried to remember how to tie the slipknot.

"Let me do it." Xu Zhibian squatted down, "You support the tree first."

Fu Luojia looked at the hair on the top of Xu Zhibian's head and was distracted.

The heel of his right foot is basically unable to touch the ground, and the back of the forefoot will also hurt when he exerts force-so he has almost been taken care of by others in the role of a cripple these days.

In fact, he was a bit like "simply not going to school for a few days", his mother even thought about it, but Teacher Ye firmly opposed it.

"He has missed several classes. How long is it before the college entrance examination? One year is a long time, but in fact it is just a blink of an eye—"

Even sponsored a walking stick. "I used it myself when my arthritis was severe." Teacher Ye explained.

"He goes to and from school—"

"You can find a classmate who lives close to him to help."

His mother said "Oh", "Will it be too much trouble for other students? Will no one want it?"

Teacher Ye was silent for a while. "Let me ask first. There are some student cadres in the grade who should be able to help." She didn't mention the students in her class—maybe she knew there was nothing to hope for.

After asking around, Teacher Ye only mentioned one name, and his attitude was very subtle, as if he adopted the only solution after a compromise.

"Then...Xu Zhijian should be able to help."

He tensed up.His mother frowned and asked, "Is it a girl?"

"No." Teacher Ye replied.

"That's fine."

He relaxes.Sure enough, she hadn't remembered—or heard—the name before.

"Then I will trouble this student Xu, Xu—Xu."

It turned out that his mother didn't remember Xu Zhijian's appearance either.On the first day when he was disabled, when Xu Zhijian came to pick him up, his mother went downstairs with him and saw Xu Zhibian.

Xu Zhibian wore a neat short-sleeved school uniform, and put on school trousers for the first time. Both trouser legs were folded up to the same height. identity.

His mother thanked Xu Zhiyan and promised:

During the few days of helping classmates, Fu Luojia contracted for Xu's breakfast.

Xu Zhibian smiled lightly, and only looked a few more times at Fu Luojia's foot, which was pulling a slipper.

On the road, he could feel that Xu Zhijian deliberately rode more steadily.

"how did you make it?"

"...Accidentally broke the kettle."

Xu Zhibian sighed. "is it serious?"

"It's not too serious." His feet were intact.

When going up the stairs, Fu Luojia insisted on holding on to the handrail to move up step by step, but because it would seriously slow down Xu Zhijian's speed, he changed to jumping step by step.Later, I found that the problem of jumping is even bigger: one is laborious, and the other is that there will be crowds of onlookers.

Zhou Linya passed by with a cup of milk tea, first made a fuss at Fu Luojia's feet, and then directly proposed his opinion: let Xu Zhijian carry it on his back.

Several people onlookers nodded and said yes, with excited smiles, as if they were all happy to see the result.Fu Luojia had already jumped a little anxiously, just staring at Xu Zhibian's back and refusing to think about the meaning of "other people's" reactions.

Xu Zhibian was on the thin side, and his shoulders still had the unique thinness of young people.But according to his past experience, Xu Zhibian's strength is very good - at least stronger than him.

He is familiar with making physical contact with Xu Zhijian.Physiologically, he didn't feel any awkwardness, and psychological awkwardness could also be restrained and covered up: there was a fair reason for this.

But he didn't expect so many people to walk up the two of them.Zhou Linya was still flamboyantly clearing the way ahead, but fortunately it was early and there were not many people.

Carrying people on the back to the fifth floor must still be strenuous.Xu Zhibian moved his neck, and Fu Luojia felt a thin layer of sweat on his face.

"Do you know how light you are now?"

"..."

"I feel like I'm carrying a bunch of bones."

"……sorry."

He originally thought that Xu Zhimin would put him in the corridor, but Xu Zhijian went all the way into the classroom, and shoved him into his seat under the surprised eyes of two or three people in Class Nine.

"Wow."

Fu Luojia's eyelids twitched.This is Li Xin's voice.

Xu Zhibian walked over to Li Xin and whispered something to him.Li Xin's smile widened, and he glanced this way several times.

"Can you?" Xu Zhibian slightly raised his voice.

Li Xin continued to laugh unscrupulously for a while, and then nodded perfunctorily, "All right, all right. It's up to you."

Xu Zhibian stood leaning against a table for a while, Zhou Linya went around to him, and greeted cautiously: "Hi."

Xu Zhibian probably didn't know her, but he was very polite: "Hello."

"So you have such a good relationship with Fu Luojia!" She put her hands together, "He told us many times about you——"

Fu Luojia: "??" He didn't.Really do not have.Zhou Linya was the one who mentioned Xu Zhijian every time.

"Is that so. Are you—?"

"I'm at the same table as him!" Zhou Linya pointed to the seat next to him, "I'll sit there."

Xu Zhibian looked over with a smile, and then looked at Fu Luojia for a moment.

Fu Luojia smiled weakly.

He felt that Xu Zhibian who was here looked much more harmonious than himself who was also here.There is a wonderful atmosphere around Xu Zhiyi, which can always make all conversations and exchanges appropriate and appropriate.

As for him—

He still doesn't want to go to school.

……

What Xu Zhibian said to Li Xin soon had an answer.In the afternoon, when Li Wenjia came to remind him that Friday was here, the reaction mechanism of Xu Zhijian's burial was triggered - Li Xin walked over from the corner of the classroom far away.

"Is this what Zheng Junyu meant?" Li Xin smiled at Li Wenjia. "Brother Yu said that this matter can't be over so simply, no matter what, he must be taught a lesson."

"That's your business. We just ask for an apology for a meal, and return things."

"What time is your dinner?"

"Six o'clock this afternoon."

"Hey, it's so fateful, it's the same time as Brother Yu picked."

Li Wenjia stared at him. "Meng Yu has only been given a serious demerit in the past few days. What does he want to do? You have become so strict recently, how dare you be arrogant?"

"Don't you love Brother Yu. What's wrong with memorizing a few passes? Are you going to go to the review area?"

Fu Luojia lowered his head and fiddled with his own gauze.

"Well," Li Wenjia backed down, "You guys also come over together, and we'll talk about it during dinner."

"I advise you to call more people, we will be in trouble if you can't stop us when we get excited."

Li Wenjia frowned and left.

Li Xin turned his head and smiled at Fu Luojia: "They will call Xu Zhijian at that time. Don't worry."
