Tentative

The living room was very dark, Qu Zhe didn't dare to turn on the light, and quietly huddled on the sofa.

After the series of things just happened, he couldn't fall asleep at all, so he could only close his eyes tightly and try to calm himself down.

Just like last time, Qu Zhe didn't sleep well all night. He was half asleep and half awake. Every time he opened his eyes, there was boundless darkness in front of him, and there was nothing else.

Until the sound of footsteps suddenly sounded in the house.

He woke up instantly, but didn't dare to open his eyes.The footsteps gradually approached, and there was no one else except Shen Yizhuo.Then, a layer of quilt was covered on his body, and Qu Zhe shrank subconsciously, but Shen Yizhuo didn't see it.

If you just use your ears to feel it, even a slight sound will be amplified infinitely.

He heard Shen Yizhuo sitting on the single sofa next to him, and then the gears of the lighter rattled, the slight burning sound intertwined with the sound of breathing, and the smell of smoke filled the air.

The lighter sounded again, but this time it was very close to him, and he could feel the light and heat through his eyelids.

What is he doing?

Qu Zhe didn't dare to open his eyes, he held his breath nervously and let the flames dance in front of his eyes.

I don't know how long it took before the light went out.

Shen Yizhuo put out his cigarette, went back to his room and closed the door.

Silent all night.

Same as last time, after being woken up in the morning, Shen Yizhuo had already washed up and was sitting in the living room waiting for him.I don't know where the toothbrush and towels used last time were collected. When Qu Zhe went to the toilet, they had already appeared on the sink.

What happened last night seemed to be all his imagination, Shen Yizhuo didn't say anything extra except urging him to go out.

He came out of the toilet after washing and asked, "I, my glasses..."

"It's on the bedside table, get it yourself." Shen Yizhuo said, glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "Hurry up."

"it is good."

According to the previous plot, they should separate at the traffic light closest to the school, and let Shen Yizhuo go there first to avoid being seen by others.Qu Zhe has been walking behind him, like a follower, approaching the traffic light, Shen Yizhuo said: "What do you want to eat?"

"I, I can..."

"Then eat noodles."

"Ah."

Shen Yizhuo turned his head, glanced at Qu Zhe, and said, "You can say if you don't want to eat."

"I don't want to eat."

As Qu Zhe expected, Shen Yizhuo led him to the previous noodle shop and sat down, then asked, "What do you eat?"

"I also can……"

"Boss, please have two bowls of pea noodles."

When Shen Yizhuo talked to others, he always smiled and was very polite.If Qu Zhe hadn't seen those scenes and just judged by what he saw at school, with Shen Yizhuo's smile and politeness, coupled with his outstanding temperament, almost no one would feel disgusted with him.

Then I was at the beginning...why did I hate him?

Shen Yizhuo is too eye-catching.A person who is so bright that he has been in a dark corner for a long time will subconsciously resist.

Two bowls of pea noodles were ready soon, Shen Yizhuo acted as if he didn't exist, added vinegar and chili, picked up the disposable chopsticks, and started to eat the noodles.

Qu thought about his appearance, and added chili and vinegar to the pasta he hated...the taste didn't get any better, and the texture still made him nauseated.In front of Shen Yizhuo, he buried his head very low, for fear of being seen. As the chewed noodles continued to pass through the throat and enter the esophagus, almost every swallowing movement he made was suffering.

The two of them came quite early, and there weren't too many people in the store. When they were about to finish eating, they encountered several classmates coming over for breakfast one after another.

Without exception, everyone would greet Shen Yizhuo after seeing him: "Are you here so early?"

"I got up early today."

"Yo Quzhe is here too."

"morning……"

"We made an appointment to have breakfast together in the morning," the classmate smiled strangely, "The relationship is so good."

Shen Yizhuo was not surprised, but smiled calmly: "Qu Zhe is very good."

Qu Zhe, who was still eating noodles with his head down, almost choked the noodles into his airway when he heard these words.Covering her mouth, she coughed uncontrollably, her face flushed red: "Ahem..."

It's so embarrassing.As Qu Zhe thought about it, Shen Yizhuo had already got up and poured water for him.A disposable cup filled with cold water was placed in front of him, and without even thinking about it, he picked up the cup and poured it into his mouth.Not only because of being choked, but also because he was afraid that under such multiple stimuli, he would no longer be able to control the urge to vomit.

At this moment, suddenly a hand patted on the back lightly, and then stroked down from the vest to comfort him.

"Don't worry, it's still early, you have time to eat slowly." Shen Yizhuo said softly.

Several people in the same class next to him were dumbfounded - if they said what they thought of Qu Zhe and Shen Yizhuo before, everyone thought it was Qu Zhe's backlash, and Shen Yizhuo was just not good at rejecting people.But the scene in front of them seemed to prove to them that things were not what they thought.Whether it's the current actions or what Shen Yizhuo said just now, it seems that they have a really good relationship.

"I-I'm fine..."

"Let's go then."

"Ah."

He hurriedly stood up and followed Shen Yizhuo out.After leaving the acquaintance's sight range, Shen Yizhuo didn't speak again, nor looked at him.

The day returned to its usual calm.

According to common sense, maybe he will have more communication with Shen Yizhuo.But no, he still could only watch Shen Yizhuo silently behind his back, fetching water and buying breakfast for him occasionally, and the other party got used to it and wouldn't say anything more.

During the last class that afternoon, Lin Xiuyan was standing outside their classroom with a bag of things in her hand, as if she was waiting.Qu Zhe hung his head, drowsy, and suddenly there was a small discussion in the classroom.

"Who is that outside..."

"I don't know, whose mother..."

"Is there anyone to claim it?"

Lin Xiuyan was wearing the old factory uniform issued by Qu Yihao's factory before, with a few patches on the sleeves, her hair was casually tied behind her head, and her whole body showed the temperament of a working woman who worked day and night.After she stood outside the window and looked in for a few minutes, the teacher finally realized that the students' attention was attracted by people outside, and he went out and asked, "Whose parent are you?"

Lin Xiuyan nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, I am, I am Qu Zhe's mother, I am sorry, teacher, to interrupt your class, I can wait for him to finish class..."

The classmate by the window immediately heard this sentence, covered his mouth and snickered, "Qu Zhe's! It's Qu Zhe's mother!"

"Haha, Qu Zhe's family is so poor, look at the patch on her sleeve..."

Hearing someone mention his name, Qu Zhe looked out sensitively - usually when others mention his name, there are no good words.Looking at it this way, I saw Lin Xiuyan talking to the teacher nodding and bowing.

Qu Zhe's family is actually not poor, just a normal level.

But Lin Xiuyan seems to be afraid that the money will be spent all the time, and she will always spend the money wisely, wishing to split one dollar into two.

In the eyes of fifteen or sixteen-year-old students, this seems to be a law. With Qu Zhe's popularity and submissive temperament all the time, if it is revealed that his family is actually rich, it will be like a rumor.

It makes sense that such a woman is Qu Zhe's mother.

Qu Zhe stood up suddenly, the teacher in charge was still talking to Lin Xiuyan, he hurried out and said, "Mom, why are you here?"

"Then if you have anything to ask Qu Zhe, just talk to him first."

"Okay, thank you teacher!" Lin Xiuyan said, bowing exaggeratedly.

When the teacher returned to the classroom, he took his mother's arm and walked towards the stairwell.Standing at the door of the classroom and talking like this, no matter what you say, you will only become the laughing stock of everyone.

What's so funny about it?Qu Zhe thinks this is not funny at all, no one stipulates that parents must be in suits and leather shoes, and no one's parents will not wear high-end dresses when doing housework... He can only think about this in his heart, If he really was arguing with someone, Qu Zhe knew very well that he might not be able to say a word.

"Why did you come to school..."

"It's cooling down tonight, Xiaoyu didn't bring a down jacket to school..." Lin Xiuyan handed over the bag in her hand, and couldn't help rambling, "I put it in her bag, but she refused to bring it...I'll wait until evening I have to deliver food to your father's factory, so you can deliver it for my sister."

"understood……"

"Then I'm leaving, you go home early at night," Lin Xiuyan said, "Don't spend the night at your classmate's house, and their parents will think they know!"

"He lives alone..." Qu Zhe said, afraid that the topic would continue, so he said, "I'm going back to class, you can go."

"Alright, alright."

After Lin Xiuyan left, Qu Zhe hurried to the office to ask for leave.Li Tuzhi didn't say anything, and nodded in agreement after asking about the situation.

Shen Yizhuo watched Qu Zhe return to the classroom from the corner of his eye, glanced at the bag in his hand, and then looked away.

It was only a few minutes before the end of get out of class, Qu Zhe picked up the things on the table and stuffed the down jacket into his backpack.

"Jingle Bell--"

As the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Shen Yizhuo suddenly turned around and said, "Aren't you going to study by yourself at night?"

"Hmm..." Qu Zhe nodded, "I, my family asked me to do something."

He didn't go into details, because he felt that Shen Yizhuo didn't want to know either.

Who knew that Shen Yizhuo then asked, "What are you doing?"

Before he had time to think about whether he should tell Shen Yizhuo, he replied subconsciously: "The weather has changed, my sister...there is not enough clothes, I will send clothes to the girls' school...you should also keep warm."

As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Yizhuo's collar.In this temperature, everyone wore scarves, only Shen Yizhuo, who seemed to dislike scarves by nature, always had his neck bare.

"Hmm." Shen Yizhuo just perfunctory with his nose, and didn't continue talking.

Qu Zhe looked at his back, was stunned for a few seconds, put his bag on his back and left.
