you better leave me alone

The atmosphere froze for a moment, Mr. Wen Chen felt that he had tasted bitterness, and kept a low profile.

It was enough for him to touch a corner of Lin Zewu's life and know how bitter it was.

Maybe it's better to continue pretending not to know, Wen Chen thought.

Lin Zewu didn't notice the change in his state of mind, coughed lowly with a hoarse voice, and cleared his throat with his fist against his lips.

"I'm going to the supermarket, why don't you go back first."

Wen Chen: "Is there something wrong?"

Lin Zewu: "To buy vegetables, the rain has been relatively light in the past half an hour, and it will continue to rain after a while."

Not only rain, but also thunder. If Zhao Qian can't find him by then, the situation will be very bad.

Wen Chen was not at ease: "Are you okay?"

"..." Lin Zewu was silent for a few seconds, not knowing which sensitive nerve was being poked, he replied firmly, "I can do it."

No, your complexion looks particularly bad - Wen Chen can draw this conclusion with just one glance.

After hanging the water, he didn't sleep well, and even ran around, relying on his youth to toss around, so he couldn't pass out in a corner.

Just like the last time, Wen Chen picked him up in the grass, let alone being out of breath later, at least his arms and legs would be crippled.

"I don't have a fever anymore, and the hanging needle is very useful."

Wen Chen gave him a strange look, turned around and went downstairs without asking any further questions.

In an instant, the front of the door was empty, and a large piece of darkness pressed in front of it.

Lin Zewu shook his head, trying to wake up, took out an umbrella at the door, closed the door behind his back, and walked slowly towards the stairs.

There was only the sound of lone footsteps in the empty stairwell, the lights on the fifth floor were not turned on, Wen Chen probably didn't plan to go out, Lin Zewu swept past the door, pursed his lips and went straight downstairs.

Just arrived on the first floor, before going out, there was a sudden sound from the front.

"I don't think you're good enough."

Hearing this, Lin Zewu slipped his feet and looked to the left.

I saw Chen with a serious face, standing by the railing.

His lower back was two palms away from the wet pole, and his white fingertips revealed a little bit of glamorous light, which Lin Zewu couldn't see clearly through the rain.

As soon as the words were finished, Wen Chen's figure moved, and he got closer and closer until he hugged his shoulders and walked side by side at his side step by step.

Lin Zewu took a step back to the side, but was fished back by him again.

"The money I paid for the medicine would be in vain, so I reluctantly take you away." Hearing Chen Yizheng's words, he added in an attempt to cover up, "I still want to buy eggs."

"You can buy eggs at the small shop opposite."

"No, the quality is different."

"quality?"

"The difference between one five and one three."

"..."

This kind of reason was extremely effective from Wen Chen's mouth, and Lin Zewu didn't find any doubts.

Probably his feverish brain is not very flexible.

Wen Chen was surprised: "What kind of eyes do you have? I'll buy you a box of [-] yuan eggs and try it, and you'll know the difference."

Lin Zewu refused: "No need."

"You're welcome."

"It really doesn't have to be."

There were puddles one after another on the road, and if he accidentally stepped on the water, Wen Chen dragged him into it.

The moment he touched him, Lin Zewu struggled in a rare way.

"Don't move." Wen Chen said lightly when he was trying to move, "If you move around again, my clothes will get wet. These clothes are very difficult to wash."

Lin Zewu pursed his lips tightly.

The two huddled together under an umbrella, and their shoulders collided with each other from time to time. In the subtle rain, this sense was infinitely magnified, climbing from the palms and shoulders to the sensitive brain, and then translated into various emotions.

Speechless all the way.

At the entrance of the supermarket, Lin Zewu quickly squeezed out of the umbrella, left a sentence "I'll buy eggs for you" and hurried in.

The street lights flashed and the horns honked four times, leaving a bright white light in the gray and white tones.

Wen Chen touched his right shoulder, and there was still an inexplicable tingling sensation there.

Five minutes later, Lin Zewu walked out slowly with two bags of vegetables, and at the same time restrained his whole body perfectly.

As soon as he reached the steps, the phone in his pocket vibrated, and Dayuan paid him a salary, a total of 3000 yuan.

The main reason is that Lin Zewu works around the clock and closes the door at night every day, and the miscellaneous things can add up to three thousand.

Originally, [-] was enough, but with the money to go to the health center, it was not enough, and I had to wait for money from other places.

When he was about to reach the bottom of the building, the graceful beauty on the opposite side gave Wen Chen a wink.

It's a pity to hear that Chen doesn't wear glasses and can't distinguish between humans and animals ten meters away, and he doesn't receive any winks.

Instead, it was Lin Zewu who saw the graceful and charming clerk leaning against the door and the pink lettering written on her legs, Lin Zewu gave him a cold sideways glance.

His face was pale, his eyes were sharp like blades, and he was murderous.

"Bang!"

Wen Chen was so startled that he came back to his senses, turned his head, and saw that the opposite side was bleak and gloomy, and the billboard flickered twice, tremblingly steady.

Under the billboard, a small blackboard with the words "[-]% off today" at the entrance of the massage shop was lonely, and when the wind blew, it fell to the ground with a "slap".

It was too late and then quickly, the door opened a crack, stretched out a white arm, and picked up the small blackboard with a "swish".

Wen Chen: "..."

Lin Zewu suddenly grabbed his wrist, and Wen Chen was hurriedly pulled into the building.

As soon as he entered the building, Lin Zewu let go of his hand, and slowly went upstairs while holding on to the handrail, unable to see the expression on his face clearly.

Wen Chen closed his umbrella and followed, water drops dripping down his trouser legs.

"Friday, I invite you to dinner."

Lin Zewu had made up his mind about the salary issue, and was about to mention the matter of repaying the money, but his burning brain unexpectedly brought out his picky taste.

"Go out to eat, not around here."

Wen Chen thought about it: "Friday..."

Lin Zewu slightly tilted his head, whispered hoarsely, but his words were surprisingly clear: "What's the matter?"

Wen Chen denied: "No, why did you suddenly invite me to dinner?"

Lin Zewu turned around the corner of the stairs, swinging the plastic bag from side to side in his hand, he thought for a while, then suddenly stopped, Wen Chen silently observed him.

Lin Zewu: "I want to discuss something with you."

For example, to redeem his 3000 yuan IOU, and he cannot owe more and more.

After the exam, successfully entered December.

Losing the days when Sa Huan wore short sleeves, students on the road obediently put on shirts and jackets, and ran into the school in the cold wind.

After finishing the exam on the last day, it happened to be Friday, and I had half a day off.

Lin Zewu went out of the school openly with his bag on his back, and Lao Liu stared at him for a long time, watching him leave all the way.

Li Xun followed him on a bicycle, his spine felt chills from time to time, and when he turned his head, it was old Liu who hated him for his indisputable grief.

Li Xun turned his head abruptly, stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Lin Zewu.

"What did you say when you visited Lao Liu back home? Why is he a bit resentful?"

Lin Zewu said: "He asked me to increase my score by 10 points."

"Chinese?" Li Xun thought about it based on experience, "Then you have to write the composition."

"All."

"Squeak-"

The tires left crooked marks on the ground, and Li Xun almost fell into a ditch.

After a long while, under Lin Zewu's probing gaze, he gave a thumbs up: "As expected of a frightening homeroom teacher!"

The four big characters "Frightened by the wind" jumped into the ears of old Liu Jimin, only to hear a roar from behind——

"Li Xun!"

Li Xun froze in an instant, he was fighting with each other, he was either staying or leaving, a drop of sweat dripped from the tip of his nose under the gloomy early winter sun.

"My mood is like the weather." Li Xun pointed to the sky with a mournful face, and saw that the sun was covered by dark clouds, "The wind and rain are coming."

Lin Zewu waved his hand and took a step first.

Li Xun shouted with tears streaming down his face from behind: "You are so disrespectful!"

Lin Zewu, who had no loyalty, caught up with the bus that was almost leaving, counted the stops, and estimated that it would take about 10 to [-] minutes to reach the hotel entrance.

He didn't bring cash with him today, it's not safe to carry it with him, and he will transfer the money to Wen Chen face to face in a while.

After the transfer, he had about 1000 yuan left on him, and he barely managed to get by.

Wen Chen went to work on Friday, and he was free only after get off work in the evening, but Lin Zewu had work in the afternoon, so he only had time at noon.

They couldn't live together.

After thinking about it, Wen Chen came out for a two-hour lunch break at noon and made an appointment at a food street downstairs from their company.

When Lin Zewu arrived at the restaurant, Wen Chen had already been waiting for a while.

The suit jacket is draped over the back of the chair, the cuffs are slightly rolled up, and the ballpoint pen is held on the fingertips, drawing circles on the menu.

Wen Chen is very comfortable in this kind of occasion, even though it is not his treat, it seems like his home court.

Lin Zewu walked through the corridor: "Waiting for a long time?"

Wen Chen had just ordered the dishes, sent the waiter away, and was lowering his head to wipe his glasses, Wen Yan replied: "No, I just arrived too, have you finished the exam?"

"The exam is over, and the results will be released next week."

"Strive for a day trip."

"I'll try."

Wen Chen raised the corner of his mouth: "The stock market has been in a downturn recently, and I have lost a lot. Passing the exam will give me some miracles, and it will ignite my hope for life."

"?"

The dishes were served quite quickly, Wen Chen didn't order much, they were mostly vegetarian, and there was also a plate of Longjing Shrimp, the whole table didn't exceed one hundred dishes.

Very balanced nutrition, virtuous housekeeping.

Lin Zewu looked around: "Would you like some more?"

Wen Chen raised his eyebrows: "I have no objection, but can you finish eating?"

Can't finish it.

Lin Zewu closed his mouth and picked up the vegetables in silence.

Unknown music was played in the restaurant, the ensemble of cello and violin made people drowsy.

Wen Chen's eating looks very good, the amount of vegetables he picks up is about the same each time, and the number of times he chews is also almost the same, which makes people speechless for some reason.

The two ate half of the food silently, Lin Zewu saw that the timing was about the same, and put down his chopsticks.

He took out his mobile phone, checked Wen Chen's number, and transferred 3000 yuan.

"Brother, I will transfer the money to you."

As soon as the voice fell, the phone on the edge of the table vibrated, and a transfer message was displayed on the screen.

Wen Chen paused, his eyes suddenly fell on his left shoulder, where the white school uniform fabric wrapped his thin but tough shoulder.

The moment he saw the transfer, Wen Chen understood the ins and outs of the whole matter.

"That's why you came to me today."

"Yeah." Lin Zewu was holding a piece of green vegetables, and he couldn't get rid of it. He changed his voice, "Not all of them. You have helped me so many times. I can't justify using a barbecue stand to deal with it."

"..." Wen Chen's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end, he just said along, "Actually, the barbecue stall is also good."

Lin Zewu nodded: "When I get paid next month, I will treat you to roast chicken hearts."

This is a joke, if in the past Wen Chen could say a few mean words without changing his face, using his outstanding demeanor on the negotiating table to choke Lin Zewu to death, he couldn't say it today.

They finished their meal quietly, and parted ways an hour later, Lin Zewu went back to work, and he also had to go back to the meeting, but his heart was buried like a sponge all afternoon.

For several days after that, Wen Chen was in a sluggish mood, so that Zhang Xun gradually wondered if he was cheated and then dumped.

However, he didn't have the guts to ask, he just gave Wen Chen a pot of small green plants the size of a palm every day, trying to hint at it.

Lin Zewu didn't know about this, if he didn't live in the same building, his life trajectories would hardly overlap with Wen Chen's.

After the weekend, the results came out on Monday.

Lao Liu called him to the office to give him a good compliment, and he was so excited that he spit all over the place, thinking that Lin Zewu was about to win the first prize.

In fact, he just did a few more questions, resulting in an average score of [-].

"Your cousin is very promising! Very promising! The parents will have a good talk with us."

Lao Liu seems to want to use Wen Chen to contribute to the cause of education.

Lin Zewu thought silently that he would not let Wen Chen go to the parent meeting, there were too many people.

The office is always busier than usual when the grades are out. When Lin Zewu went out, he passed by a few dejected boys.

One of them pushed the boy next door and winked at the door.

"Fuck? Why did he come to school?" The man was surprised for a while, and then said maliciously, "Could it be that he was caught cheating?"

Before he had time to gloat, the back of his head was touched.

Turning his head, Old Liu rolled up the newspaper and turned towards them again, blowing his beard and staring.

"Wang Meng—"

Wang Meng quickly stood at attention on the spot.

"Do you think everyone is like you? Xiao Lin passed every subject this time! What are you looking at, come and stand for me!"

Wang Meng said "recklessly": "This is unscientific..."

Old Liu: "Come here!"

The roar of the office pierced through the door and echoed in the corridor, and the students who came out to fish all passed by on tiptoes, with their backs against the wall and sprinting past like crabs.

When Wang Meng came back, he was listless, looked at the test paper on Lin Zewu's desk, touched his forehead, and said "this is not scientific".

Lin Zewu lay on his stomach to catch up on sleep, ignored him, and only opened his eyelids when the class bell rang.

Five p.m.

Today Lin Zewu finished all the classes for the first time, and he probably won't come to school for a few days in the future.

He stuffed the accumulated test papers into his bag at once. These papers were enough for him to study for ten days and half a month. After thinking about it, he took out the test papers and took out his mobile phone to "snap" and take a few photos.

Back home, Lin Zewu threw back his schoolbag, rubbed his stiff left shoulder, and leaned over to open the living room window.

——In order to prevent Zhao Qian from almost falling off the balcony last time, whenever Lin Zewu went out, the doors and windows must be closed tightly.

He went in again to check on Zhao Qian's situation, Zhao Qian hit him with a pillow without hesitation, probably just woke up and was very energetic.

The pillow hit him straight.

"Okay, I'll go out." Lin Zewu closed the door in compromise.

After finishing all this, Lin Zewu sat back on the sofa in a relaxed manner.

After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to someone Wen who swears that he won't pass the exam.

Lin Zewu: I passed all the exams.

Two minutes later, the reply was long overdue.

Wen Chen: Oh?

Lin Zewu sent him the photo.

Wen Chen: Come down to me with your ID card, and you won’t wait when it’s overdue.

Lin Zewu stared at the line for a long time.

Wen Chen sent another message: The wool has been squeezed!hurry up.

Lin Zewu fumbled to find his ID card from the bag, and he stuffed the schoolbag back under the sofa, leaving a few odd bills and all his homework in it.

Lin Zewu picked up the key on the table and went out the door simply.

2 minute later.

"Click."

There was a sound of metal rubbing in the silent space.

The door of the bedroom was opened, and Zhao Qian walked out slowly, holding on to the wall. She could usually walk a few steps, but she couldn't walk fast, and had to rest after two steps.

Usually when Lin Zewu is not at home, she has to pour water by herself.As long as she doesn't go crazy, this simple behavior can still be done smoothly.

Not long after she woke up, she was more energetic. She looked around and finally landed on the sofa.

There is a book bag hidden there.
