As the class monitor, after I helped Mei Can's roommate

Near noon, the few people who discovered the truth parted ways with complicated emotions.

Fu Guyuan and Xiang Qingwu were about to leave by bicycle, while Bai Mingfeng and Xiuxiu lived next door to each other, so naturally they went home together.

"Then Brother Mingfeng and I will leave first." Xiuxiu waved goodbye to the other two boys.

"Be careful on the road." Fu Guyuan nodded.

"Ah Bai, have you finished your English summer homework? Remember to take a picture and show me when you're done." Xiang Qingwu winked at Bai Mingfeng.

"Got it." Bai Mingfeng was used to it.

"Ah Bai, you are my savior!!" Xiang Qingwu put his hands together, making a heart that looks like an apple.

Bai Mingfeng pretended not to see, waved goodbye to Xiang Qingwu and Fu Guyuan, and took Xiuxiu away.

No. [-] Middle School is far from their home, which is why Xiuxiu went to school and lived in school. The two decided to take the subway back.

But just as the two walked a few steps towards the subway entrance together, Xiuxiu suddenly asked, "Brother Mingfeng, what's wrong with your leg? Why are you limping?"

Bai Mingfeng paused.

He accidentally sprained his foot just now when he fell through the window and landed on the ground. He was trying to be brave and didn't want to be seen by others. He tried his best to endure the pain and planned to go home to deal with it, but he didn't expect to be noticed by others.

"I..." Bai Mingfeng had just opened his mouth when Fu Guyuan and Xiang Qingwu walked over pushing their bicycles—they also noticed the strangeness of Bai Mingfeng's walking posture.

Thinking of the loud noise when Bai Mingfeng rolled into the monitoring room and landed, Fu Guyuan carefully realized something: "Ah Bai, did you twist your foot?"

"En." Bai Mingfeng nodded.

Xiang Qingwu became anxious all at once: "Why didn't you tell me about your sprained foot! Before you fell from upstairs, your legs were not good, so the old injury won't recur!"

"No, it's just a twist, it's nothing serious." Bai Mingfeng said.

"You said it's okay if it's not a big deal?" Xiang Qingwu didn't follow him, "Sit down and let me have a look!"

"What can you see?" Bai Mingfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I usually get sprained while playing basketball. I can see a lot of things! Do you know that there is a saying that a long illness makes a good doctor!" Xiang Qingwu pressed Bai Mingfeng's shoulder and asked him to sit down by the flower bed by the roadside .

There was some dirt beside the flower bed, Bai Mingfeng brushed it away with his hand, and cleaned the edge of the flower bed, and said while sitting down: "I said it's all right, just go home and spray some bruise medicine."

Xiang Qingwu squatted down in front of Bai Mingfeng, rolled up his trouser legs and took a look, then gasped: "You call this all right?"

Bai Mingfeng's ankle was purplish red and slightly swollen, Xiang Qingwu stretched out his hand to pinch it lightly, Bai Mingfeng immediately shrank his foot in pain, he moved uncomfortably to the side, away from Xiang Qingwu, and then pulled down his trouser legs.

"Brother Mingfeng's foot is injured like this, how can he go home?" Xiuxiu said worriedly, "Our house is a short walk from the subway entrance."

"It's okay." Bai Mingfeng said, "Go slowly."

"Walk slower? Whether you can walk like this is a problem! You still walk slower!" Xiang Qingwu was angry.

"Otherwise, let's do this." Fu Guyuan suggested, "Qingwu's house is quite close to No. [-] Middle School. Ah Bai, you go to Qingwu's house to treat your foot injury first, and then make other plans."

"It's fine, just stay for one night." Xiang Qingwu immediately said, "And I have a bicycle, I'll take you there."

"No, I'll take Xiuxiu home." Bai Mingfeng supported the flower bed with one hand, trying to stand up.

"I don't want you to give it away, I can go back by myself." Xiuxiu held Bai Mingfeng's arm and asked him to sit down and rest quickly.

Unexpectedly, Bai Mingfeng's temperament is stubborn and his temper is as hard as a rock. The three people's persuasion was fruitless, and Bai Mingfeng insisted on sending Xiuxiu home.

Finding that Bai Mingfeng couldn't be said at all, Xiuxiu curled her mouth and waved to the three of them. After saying goodbye, she resolutely left Bai Mingfeng and trot towards the subway entrance.

"Wait...wait for me..." Bai Mingfeng felt pain in his ankle just by standing up now, he couldn't catch up with Xiuxiu who was walking like flying, he couldn't do anything except shout out a useless excuse to stay.

"Ah Bai, don't be stubborn, come home with me." Xiang Qingwu persuaded.

Bai Mingfeng: "..."

Fu Guyuan took a look at the awkward Bai Mingfeng, and understood, with a smile on his lips, he patted Xiang Qingwu's shoulder: "Brother, I'm leaving in a hurry, you are responsible for taking care of Ah Bai."

"Success! Don't worry, leave it to me, it's safe and secure!" Xiang Qingwu patted his chest and made a gesture of yes.

"Ah Bai, your ankle is swollen into a steamed bun, so don't force yourself." Fu Guyuan persuaded patiently like a big brother, stepped on the bicycle with one leg, waved away, and stopped disturbing the two of them .

"Let's go, let's go to my house." Xiang Qingwu stretched out his hand and took Bai Mingfeng's arm and put it on his shoulder.

Bai Mingfeng was speechless, he didn't object but he wasn't too cooperative.

"Don't worry, my parents have been busy with court proceedings in other places these two days and are not at home." Xiang Qingwu thought that Bai Mingfeng was afraid of his parents, so he hesitated.

The three of them grew up close together, but Fu Guyuan and Bai Mingfeng almost never visited Xiang Qingwu's home, because Xiang's father and Xiang's mother were lawyers with extremely serious and serious personalities, and each one was colder than the other.

When I went to play at other children’s homes, their parents were warmly entertained and filled with snacks and fruits. They were afraid that their children would lose friends if they did not entertain well.

And when they went to Xiang Qingwu's house to play, let alone fruit snacks, they didn't even dare to make a sound when they saw Xiang's father and mother Xiang's unsmiling appearance.

Others said that it was not easy for Xiang Qingwu to become so noisy in this growing environment.

Xiang Qingwu half hugged and half supported Bai Mingfeng, walked to his bicycle and let him sit on the back seat.

"It's rare for someone to come to my house!" Xiang Qingwu was suddenly excited, "And my parents are not at home, so we can spend time together? I'll go to the chubby next door to borrow a game console, let's stay up late and play games!"

"Forget it, if your uncle and aunt come back suddenly, you will be beaten again." Bai Mingfeng is well aware of Xiang Qingwu's family situation.

Just thinking about that scene, Xiang Qingwu felt shuddering, stuck out his tongue and said, "Forget it, if they drop the game console, I won't have the money to pay Xiaopang, but the weather is so hot, you can buy ice cream and Put the Coke in the refrigerator, Ah Bai, are you seated yet?"

"Yeah." Bai Mingfeng straddled the bicycle, absorbing the experience of being teased before, and firmly grasping the iron frame of the rear seat of the bicycle with both hands, in case Xiang Qingwu suddenly pedaled the bicycle and leaned back.

But this time Xiang Qingwu obviously didn't have such thoughts: "Keep your feet away, be careful, don't touch them."

As he said that, Xiang Qingwu rode his bicycle at a constant speed, and drove Bai Mingfeng towards his home.

Xiang Qingwu's home is near the business district in the city, with towering tall buildings, glare from the glass, and strict security.

Fortunately, there is an elevator, which avoids the hardship of climbing stairs.

Xiang Qingwu helped Bai Mingfeng back home, opened the door, changed into slippers, and helped him sit down on the sofa.

"You sit down, I'll look for medicine." Xiang Qingwu said as he walked towards the TV cabinet, squatted down, and rummaged through the medicine box.

Bai Mingfeng hadn't been to Xiang Qingwu's house for at least three or four years. He looked around and saw that most of the furniture was in black, white and gray tones, looking clear and cold. You can tell it's just a decoration.

Usually, when Xiang's father and mother were too busy to see anyone, Xiang Qingwu would go to his grandparents' house for dinner and lodging. It was close to Bai Mingfeng's house, so Xiang Qingwu was also willing to go.

"Qingwu, are uncles and aunts busy recently?" Bai Mingfeng asked with his gaze back.

Xiang Qingwu pondered for a moment, then replied: "The two of them have been very busy."

"Do you usually feel... um... lonely?" Bai Mingfeng thought about his words.

"No." Xiang Qingwu bared his teeth and smiled, "It's because of you."

Bai Mingfeng suddenly felt distressed.

In a family of three, Bai Mingfeng is the happiest. His parents are civil servants who are not too busy with work, and they care for him in every possible way. Bai's mother is even more gentle and attentive, taking care of his basic necessities of life wholeheartedly.

Although Fu Guyuan's parents are often busy on weekdays, no matter how busy they are, they will always take Fu Guyuan to heart, and their education has always focused on respecting and encouraging Fu Guyuan, recognizing his All options.

Only Xiang Qingwu, from childhood to adulthood, has suffered countless beatings and scolding. Eight times out of ten parents will be attended by grandparents. Even the parents of the primary school he chose to sign are all signed by him imitating his parents' handwriting. of.

"Ah, found it."

Xiang Qingwu's shout brought Bai Mingfeng back to his thoughts, Bai Mingfeng looked up and saw Xiang Qingwu coming over with a bottle of spray.

"This medicine is very effective." Xiang Qingwu grinned, "I sprained it before, sprayed it once, and it will be fine the next day! Come, come, I will spray it for you."

Speaking of which, Xiang Qingwu squatted down in front of Bai Mingfeng, but before Bai Mingfeng could stop him, Xiang Qingwu had already rolled up his trouser legs.

"It seems to be a little purple." Xiang Qingwu took a look, shook the medicine bottle with one hand, and gently held Bai Mingfeng's ankle with the other.

Bai Mingfeng flinched and hid back.

"What's wrong? Does it hurt? I didn't touch your bruise." Xiang Qingwu raised his head and looked at Bai Mingfeng suspiciously.

Bai Mingfeng said: "I will do it myself."

"No, I'll help you." Xiang Qingwu pushed away Bai Mingfeng's hand that was reaching out to take the medicine. He was afraid of hurting Bai Mingfeng again, so he supported Bai Mingfeng's calf with his palm up and lifted it lightly.

Bai Mingfeng is wearing off-white sweatpants today, which are relatively loose. Xiang Qingwu just rolled his trouser legs up to his knees. Now Bai Mingfeng's calf is exposed. When Xiang Qingwu's palm touched him, he flinched again and moved back a lot. step.

Xiang Qingwu was startled: "It still hurts?!"

"Everyone said I came by myself." Bai Mingfeng said angrily, with an inexplicably uncomfortable expression.

"I didn't hurt you!" Xiang Qingwu insisted on asking for an explanation on this matter.

Bai Mingfeng didn't answer, but reached out to seize the spray in Xiang Qingwu's hand.

Xiang Qingwu refused, stretched out his hand to hook Bai Mingfeng's knee with his forearm, carefully ensured that he did not touch his injury, and pulled him towards him: "Let me take care of you, what's wrong? I copied your homework and then Many times, it's time to be courteous."

But as soon as he let go, Bai Mingfeng hid back again, as if afraid of him.

"Ah Bai, what are you doing? Do you hate me touching you?" Xiang Qingwu wondered.

Bai Mingfeng supported his forehead, slightly collapsed, and it took him a long time to reply: "You didn't hurt me, but you touched my leg, I felt itchy."

Xiang Qingwu was stunned for three seconds, then said slowly.

"Ah Bai, you...are too sensitive."
