I still don't want to go to school today

Xu Zhijian rushed to the door.Fu Luojia originally wanted to get closer, but he took a step back after seeing his somewhat astonished gaze.

"I just gave him a tug..."

Li Xin opened his mouth wide, as if he was about to roar, but he couldn't make any sound.Fu Luojia leaned over and shook him, shaking out the breath that was pent up in his throat.

"Damn...you fucking..."

"He should be fine." Fu Luojia went to look at Xu Zhijian again, "I really didn't mean to..."

"—you were angry just now?"

He regained his courage from this sentence, stepped over Li Xin's body lying in front of the door, and stood beside Xu Zhibian. "I don't."

Xu Zhiyan softened his expression, "Let's talk about it later." He turned to look at Li Xin, "Are you all right?"

Li Xin kicked a few times and stood up by himself, found Fu Luojia's direction, stretched out a finger, his eyes were red as if he had conjunctivitis. "Fucking lunatic——!! Why the hell did Zhao Min get fired when he was sick, and you can still beat people and kill people here when you are sick?! If I were you, I would jump off the stairs by myself—"

Someone poked his head out of the next bedroom.

Fu Luojia is familiar with the harbingers of Xu Zhiyan's certain actions - for example, before he suddenly reaches out to grab something, he will quickly wipe his sleeves. When the weather is hot and he does not wear a long-sleeved jacket, this action will be blocked Rub your wrists instead.

"You're just a uh-"

Xu Zhiyan used so much force that he pressed the flesh of Li Xin's cheeks deeply between the upper and lower teeth. "Why should you?"

"We've known each other for so long, if you don't fight back, I won't do it either. But haven't I said it many times," he sighed, "I know what you mean, and I answered you too. Why did I say 'screw 'doesn't work for you at all?"

When he closed the door, Fu Luojia thought of the scene where he was pestering Xu Zhijian for a kiss, and Li Xin suddenly pushed the door open and entered.He admitted that at one point he had the same eerie euphoria that he had then.

Xu Zhibian sat under the lamp and fiddled with a capsule coffee machine that came from nowhere.But this is not the first thing that has been added to the dormitory - before that, there was a dryer, a humidifier, and other furnishings in his bedroom at home.

After a strange noise, a fluffy white foam floated in the cup, Xu Zhijian took a few sips cautiously, and then stood in front of him holding the cup.

Fu Luojia put down the notes that he hadn't read for a long time, "What's wrong?"

"I've tried it since noon until now." Xu Zhijian smiled at him, "It's not bad. I want to give you a drink."

"Difficult to do?"

"Ah... a bit."

He took it, "Thank you." I hope the old circuit in the dormitory can withstand the toss of these electrical appliances.

Xu Zhibian was still staring at him intently.

"I didn't know before." He said suddenly. "Li Xin has never told me before. I have known him since junior high school. He has helped me a few times and I have borrowed money from him."

"...are you friends?"

"Friend?" Xu Zhibian tilted his head, "Aren't you the only friend of mine? Why do you ask me so suddenly?"

Fu Luojia was stunned for a moment, and then heard Xu Zhijian continue to say: "People I like, friends, boyfriends, and other things - aren't they all you?"

He thought Xu Zhiyan was joking, or narrowed the definition of "friend". "What do you tell Du Ran and the others to think?"

Xu Zhibian also thought he was joking, a little inconceivable: "Du Ran is not my friend, he knows me and I just know him - what about them, forget him, how come there are 'them'?"

"There are so many people..." Fu Luojia didn't know what to say.

"You say that... it might be unfair to them," he whispered. "You obviously get along well with them. Everyone... likes you very much."

"What... is there something wrong?" Xu Zhibian also hesitated. "What should I say?"

"...It's nothing." He returned the cup to Xu Zhibian and decided to end the conversation. "tastes good."

Xu Zhibian seemed to have something to say.But he just responded with a muffled sound, rolled himself up and sat at the foot of the bed.

Fu Luojia watched him for a while, then continued to review.

If you can't do it, your mind will be distracted, and if your mind is distracted, you will think of Xu Zhiyi.

Photos from Xu Zhibian's circle of friends.

A gift he receives every year on his birthday.

his daily activities.

His "friends" who are suddenly going to be in quotation marks.

The girls who liked him—and maybe the boys.

At ten o'clock, he finally couldn't hold back anymore, and looked up at Xu Zhijian again, but in the end they met Xu Zhijian's eyes.

"Did you forget that you said you were going to wash my hair tonight?" Xu Zhijian said quietly, still holding the cup.

When Fu Luojia was foaming between his fingers, he was still thinking about Xu Zhijian's friend.

By the way, he also thought about some aspects of Xu Zhilian's ability - he tried it just now, and the capsule coffee machine was really not difficult to operate.

The dormitory conditions were limited, so Xu Zhibian sat on a small bench with his head bowed and facing him, always raised his head from time to time, and threw the foam onto his collar and bed rails.

When he was splashed on the face again, he got up to get a dry towel, and when he came back, he asked seriously: "What do you want to say?"

"Correct."

"Let's talk when we're done?"

Xu Zhibian wanted to nod, but he stopped him in time: "No need to nod, I understand."

It's a pity that someone knocked on the door before the washing was finished. "Gaga, are you in there?"

Before Fu Luojia had time to respond, Xu Zhijian stood up with half of his head covered in foam and went into the bathroom, but fortunately he held him back.

"Your father doesn't seem to like me very much," Xu Zhibian said. "I promised him before..."

"You're right here." He opened the door without even wiping off the foam on his hands.

"I came here and got stuck in traffic, so I was late—" The voice stopped abruptly after three seconds.

"Foraka."

He responded calmly.

A car key was then thrown in his face.

……

"In the middle of the night, is she going to die? It's so urgent."

Aunt Lin sighed, "Jia Jia, don't say that... it's forbidden to stop here!"

Dad released the handbrake he had just pulled up again.

There was a moment of silence in the car.

He glanced out the window, "Changed place again?"

"...It turns out that the one who transferred it here said that there is a doctor here who is very good at the pancreas." Aunt Lin was still explaining.

"Oh." He nodded. "Then is it inflammation or cancer?"

Aunt Lin was also silent now.

"You just want her to die that much, don't you?! She has been thinking about seeing you for so many days——"

Dad yelled through the windshield, never looking at him.If someone passes by outside, it is estimated that it is a driver's road rage attack.

"Jiajia, your mother...she wants to see you very much."

"Don't tell him that. He—he has no sense of shame now, heartless and ruthless, worse than a beast—"

"Why do you always quarrel with me in the car?" Fu Luojia didn't bother to listen to him.

"The biological mother who has raised you for more than ten years is not as good as the so-called boyfriend you have known for a few days—are you still human!! How did you become like this—"

Dad actually choked up.

"I don't know what's going on," the red cross appeared at the end of the tall building. "It's just not comparable."

Every hospital is similar, corridors, clocks, people and patients.

He doesn't recognize his mother anymore, in every sense of the word.He felt like he was talking to a pile of white cloth and plastic pipes.

There are benefits too.He couldn't stop talking:

"Mom, I'm here to see you."

"The potted flowers you raised haven't been watered for a long time, and they may have died."

"I don't know if someone cleaned up that table of dishes you knocked over. If not...the house smells really bad now."

"Fortunately, we don't have to go back."

"I recorded the audio. Just listen to what I say, and don't come to me."

"Is it okay? If it's okay, let's hug."
