Ha ha

Xu Chenchuan froze, his first reaction was to hide that stupid packaging behind his back.

I just escaped yesterday, and today I met again on a narrow road.When Xu Chenchuan saw this person, he became nervous, and before he could find a suitable opening line in his mind, the eyes of the two met.He forced himself to smile, but couldn't laugh anymore: "Are you... all right?"

Bai Qi's face was as pale as paper, even his lips did not show blood, only his eyes became darker and paler.He stared at Xu Chenchuan without expression for a while, and exhaled a bit of cold mist: "Why are you here?"

"I'll send Bai Sheng over here." Xu Chenchuan had an intuition that he was unwelcome, and it was probably because he had encountered someone else's housework. "It's time to go." He added.

"Oh, thank you." Bai Qi gave a normal response for the first time, making the other party stunned.But he didn't say anything else, he passed Xu Chenchuan straight, the wheelchair stopped beside his car, and opened the door.

Xu Chenchuan's eyes kept chasing Bai Qi, wondering and wondering.Although this guy has always been wrong, but today is especially wrong.He watched Bai Qi propped up his arms and wanted to move himself into the driver's seat, but suddenly his arms gave way and he fell back down.

Xu Chenchuan was startled, and hurried over: "What's the matter?" Before he finished speaking, he remembered what Bai Sheng said on the phone, subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch Bai Qi's forehead, and retracted his hand, "It's burned like this!" Should have gone to the hospital long ago—”

"Don't bother you." Bai Qi propped up the seat and tried again, but it seemed that even the strength of his upper body was exhausted, and he couldn't exert any strength.

"You can't drive right now, you're going to—"

"Go away." Bai Qi turned his head and said coldly.

Xu Chenchuan felt a chill in his heart.

But Bai Qi suddenly paused, with a strange expression on his face.Xu Chenchuan followed his gaze and looked at his hand, which was still clutching the bag of pebbles and chocolates.

The atmosphere became nondescript in an instant, like a balloon being punctured, even Bai Qi couldn't put back his cold expression.

"..." Xu Chenchuan silently turned around and walked towards the trash can, throwing it away.

When he came back, he had already made up his mind: "I won't mind my own business, but you really can't drive, it's too dangerous. I'll call Bai Sheng and leave."

Bai Qi lowered his head and didn't make a sound, he seemed to weigh it before he spoke: "He's not free right now."

Xu Chenchuan couldn't figure out what he meant, so he had to follow along and ask: "Then what should we do?"

Bai Qi raised his head, twitched the corner of his mouth without warning, and said softly, "Please take me home."

******

Bai Sheng made full use of his professional expertise, dismissed Zhou's classmate's family with eloquence, and sent Teacher Huang back to school all the way, promising to educate his younger brother well when he went back, and then he walked out.

Walking to the school gate, he saw Bai Qi's car parked beside him, but Bai Qi was nowhere to be seen.

Bai Sheng frowned, found Bai Hao's class and called him to the corridor, and asked, "Where's big brother?"

"gone."

"Where did you go?"

"I don't know, let's go home."

Bai Sheng was in a hurry: "The car is still parked outside, how can he go home? Didn't you ask you to see him off!"

Bai Hao was already remorseful, and when he heard this, he panicked and said with a wooden face, "You, you call him."

Bai Cheng glared at him, picked up his phone and dialed Bai Qi's number: "Hey, brother, where have you been?"

"Almost home. Your colleague sent me off."

Xu Chenchuan?Bai Cheng froze for a moment, instead of being able to breathe a sigh of relief, he became even more worried.Bai Qi never let anyone other than himself see him in or out, nor let others into the house, let alone accept help from a stranger.Unless—"What's wrong with you, what's wrong with you?" He lifted his foot and left, "That won't work, I'll take you to the hospital right away."

Bai Hao's eyelids twitched, his expression becoming more uncomfortable.

"No, it's nothing serious, just take some antipyretics." The other end hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Bai Sheng had no choice but to put away his phone, turned around and asked, "What happened after I left just now?"

Bai Hao bowed his head: "He gave me a scolding....I said a few words."

"what did you say?"

Bai Hao knew he couldn't escape, so he had no choice but to retell the conversation truthfully.

Bai Sheng's face became darker and darker, he endured it for a long time, and then sighed: "Bai Hao, Bai Hao. Forget it, there won't be a next time, so let's take care of ourselves."

Bai Hao is a typical sophomore boy. If he is offended, he has to pay back double. However, hearing such a gentle and chilling tone, his chest feels tight, and he grits his teeth knowingly that he is wrong and does not refute.

Seeing him like this, Bai Cheng sighed again, raised his hand and patted his head: "Next time we meet, I will apologize to big brother. This time, he said too much, but he ran over sick , just to humiliate you? Xiaohao, you are so old, taller than me... Isn’t that the big brother’s temper.”

"So others should be considerate of him unconditionally?" Bai Hao was furious again, "I know I shouldn't say that, but second brother! It's been so long, every time, no matter what he says or does, you It will only let me bear it. Yes, he is worthy of sympathy and needs to be taken care of, but to put it harshly, isn’t it just a broken leg! He intends to rot like this for the rest of his life?"

Bai Sheng's expression turned cold, and he withdrew his hand: "You have no right to say that, and neither do I."

"You persuade me every time, why don't you persuade him? You were obviously not like this when you were young! Could it be that you are also afraid of him—"

"Bai Hao!" Bai Cheng shouted, shocking Bai Hao into shutting up.

Bai Sheng's chest rose and fell, and it took him a while to say: "Go back and concentrate on studying, don't make trouble, otherwise I won't be able to help you." After finishing speaking, he ignored Bai Hao's reaction and left.

He was indeed afraid of Bai Qi, it was a kind of fear that went deeper into the bone marrow than a nightmare.

Bai Hao didn't realize what happened, but he could never erase the memory of that scene.

At that time, Bai Qi was in the recovery period after the operation. The doctor asked the family members to comfort the patient, maintain an optimistic attitude, and actively cooperate with the rehabilitation.Bai Sheng didn't believe that after that kind of thing happened, the scripted comfort would have any effect on Bai Qi.But he couldn't think of a better way, so he could only pull Bai Hao to rack his brains to persuade him every day, hoping for even the slightest effect.However, all efforts were in vain.

For the first week, Bai Qi didn't respond to the outside world, as if he had turned into a stone statue.Later, when he was finally able to speak, he said to Bai Sheng, "I can't move."

"No, the doctor said that you are incomplete, and the motor function has not disappeared completely, as long as you exercise well—"

"I can't move." Bai Qi just repeated dumbly.

They tried to take him to the rehabilitation room for routine training, but no matter how hard they tried, the legs that should have retained some consciousness remained motionless.Bai Sheng was helpless, and the doctor had never encountered such an uncooperative patient.In the end, they could only give up and let Bai Qi stay by himself.Bai Sheng was still not reconciled, and would make insinuations every few days, persuading him to cooperate for his own health.

Then one day, when he spoke again, Bai Qi raised the fruit knife placed beside the hospital bed and inserted it straight into his thigh.

The blood quickly permeated the hospital pants, like a strange flower blooming on the fabric.

Bai Cheng fell to his knees in fright.

Bai Qi raised his head, looked at him and smiled: "Do you believe it now?"

The legs were unresponsive, like dead objects.Then they start spasming.

When Bai Qi was pushed into the operating room, the doctor pulled Bai Sheng aside: "You can't stimulate him anymore, he may have mental problems. If you find self-harm again, you must notify the hospital immediately."

Bai Qi never harmed himself again, at least not in the traditional sense.

Bai Hao was ignorant, he hadn't grown up yet, he just cared about Bai Qi out of instinctive sympathy, and then he was so angry that Bai Qi jumped up and down again and again.Bai Sheng didn't dare to say more to him, so he could only persuade him not to get angry with his elder brother.

In fact, Bai Sheng knew in his heart that he had been afraid of Bai Qi ever since. Even if he spoke face to face, he was walking on thin ice.It seemed that just a flick of a finger would turn my brother into a complete monster.There was nothing he could do, because if anyone could turn this deadlock around, it wouldn't be him.
