hell make me fall in love

"—36 in total."

After paying the money, Liu Xu stood by the counter and waited for a while, then turned around with two cups of warm honey grapefruit tea, and walked to Shen Anxing's side.

He brought Shen Anxing to a milk tea shop.After all, Shen Anxing didn't wear much, so Liu Xu couldn't bear to let him suffer from the cold outside.

Shen Anxing chose a seat in the corner near the window.Just resting your chin and looking out the window in a daze.

Shen Anxing was so fascinated that he didn't notice that Liu Xu had already walked over with two drinks.

Liu Xu didn't know what he was looking at, so she followed his gaze and looked out.

The cold wind in the evening is not strong, only bringing some slight wind noises.Outside the window, a woman just left the milk tea shop and is tidying up the clothes of the child.

She was wrapping the scarf around the child, wrapping it round and round, like wrapping a big rice dumpling.

The child is so cute, Liu Xu couldn't help pursing his lips into a smile, and looked down at Shen Anxing again.

Shen Anxing didn't smile at all, he looked at the child with no waves in his eyes, but something flickered faintly.

It's like envy, but not like it.

Liu Xu couldn't tell, rather than envy, he felt more like he was watching indifferently knowing that everything had nothing to do with him.

Liu Xu felt sorry for him.So, he stretched out his hand and touched Shen Anxing's face with the cup of hot honey citron tea.

The honey pomelo was not hot, but Shen Anxing was looking out of the window in a daze, and when he was so - pressed against his face, he was startled - shuddered all over, and turned his head away.

Liu Xu shook the honey pomelo in his hand, and smiled lightly at him: "Here you are."

Shen Anxing: "..."

Shen Anxing reached out to take the honey citron tea and the straw in his hand, lowered his head again, and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Liu Xu responded, put his share on the table and sat opposite him, and asked casually, "What time do you go home?"

"Anything is fine." Shen Anxing replied, "Anyway, as long as I can get home before ten o'clock in the evening."

"So late?" Liu Xu frowned and said, "Does your family come home so late every day?"

Shen Anxing nodded, lowered his head and inserted the straw into the drink cup, not in a hurry to drink, he held it in his hands and covered his hands.

—Look, I just don’t intend to talk about my own affairs deeply.

Even if Ruan Feng had already said that, he didn't intend to tell Liu Xu the whole story, he insisted on holding on, protecting his stubborn decency like a prison.

Liu Xu was helpless, but this was also within his expectation.

It is normal for Shen Anxing to be such a closed and sensitive person.

Wanting to have a heart-to-heart relationship with him and let him open up, forcing him to say that it must be the most undesirable thing, we can only let it happen slowly.

Liu Xu inserted the straw into the cup, stirred it back and forth a few times, and looked at Shen Anxing twice.

The other party lowered his head, covered the hot drink in his hand, and said nothing.His eyelashes are very long, and his skin is ridiculously white.

Liu Xu stared at him for a while, then, while stirring the drink in the cup, said softly, "I have a sister."

After he spoke, Shen Anxing raised his head and looked at him.

Liu Xu lowered his head and looked absently at the grapefruit slices in the cup that he had stirred up and down, left and right, and said, "She was a senior in high school last year, and she went abroad to attend college preparatory courses in August this year."

"She used to be from the No. [-] Middle School, and the two of us have a school."

"My sister... how should I put it, she is less girlish and crazier than me since she was a child."

When Liu Xu said this, he remembered what happened when he was a child, and couldn't help chuckling twice.

After laughing, he went on to say: "So, she is more unrestrained, and she is very popular among girls in school. Of course, there are those who like her and those who hate her... The two girls who were videotaping with their mobile phones just now, Did you see it?"

Shen Anxing nodded slightly.

"Those two girls are very domineering in the class. Last year, a girl in the class was isolated. That girl was bullied to the limit. Once she was blocked in the toilet, and she was grabbed by the two girls just now. Hair slapped."

"It turned out that I couldn't die. My sister went to the bathroom inside."

As soon as Liu Xu said this, he wanted to laugh, so he couldn't help laughing twice, and said: "In the end, my sister beat them both up, and she took them to the Political and Education Department together. Those two girls were beaten by my sister." The whole school criticized him, and he was carried to the rostrum when he was doing exercises between classes, and he was directly punished."

Shen Anxing understood, couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and muttered in a low voice: "Big hatred."

"It's really a big enmity." Liu Xu said, "So those two girls refused to accept it, so they tricked the three boys just now to block her. That time I happened to ask her for something, and when we met, we won together."

"My sister is ruthless. This matter went to the Department of Political Affairs and Education again, and she was criticized again. The two girls were also suspended from school for a few months."

Shen Anxing: "..."

Shen Anxing felt speechless and felt that Liu Xu's sister was really cruel, the corners of his eyebrows twitched.

Liu Xu went on to say: "The two of them came back to school later, and my sister finally sprinted for the college entrance examination. Their homeroom teacher also focused on the two of them, and nothing happened. Later, when the third year of high school graduated, my sister He also went abroad."

"...I thought this matter was over, it wasn't a big deal."

When Shen Anxing heard his words, he vaguely guessed the next development.

Sure enough, Liu Xu went on to say: "Later, my second year of high school started. After the start of school, right before I put ten... I was blocked."

When Liu Xu said this, he stopped talking.

He took a deep breath, put the straw in his mouth, and turned his head to look out the window.

Liu Xu didn't say what happened next, and it was difficult to say it, but Shen Anxing knew it all.

Just now I found the file at the police station, Liu Xu was blocked by those people and went to the back of the school more than three months ago.

He was alone facing three people who were about to beat him up, and the two girls next to him must have been the same as before, laughing and videotaping with their mobile phones.

Record his ugly behavior.

Those people didn't dare to offend his sister, so after his sister was gone, they spread all their irresistible resentment on Liu Xu.

... Some people become bad, and they really have no boundaries and are unreasonable.

Shen Anxing lowered his eyes, then raised his head and asked, "Does your sister know about this?"

"I don't know." Liu Xu bit the straw and said, "I didn't tell her."

"...??"

Shen Anxing suddenly felt unreasonable, immediately widened his eyes, and said in disbelief: "You didn't tell her!?"

"Yeah." Liu Xu said, while letting go of his mouth, he laughed helplessly, and said, "She is going to a language school outside to prepare a portfolio for the exam, why should I tell her such a trivial matter, she If I ran back because of this, wouldn’t it be a waste of air ticket money? I’m not going to be beaten to death.”

"..."

Liu Xu's thoughts were too selfless, Shen Anxing - Shi Shi didn't know what to say.

But he was blocked and beaten by his sister's enemies, and he was transferred to another school because of it.But just because he was afraid of affecting his sister's status in the exam, he didn't tell her about it at all.

Shen Anxing couldn't understand.

He looked at Liu Xu, Liu Xu was gently stirring the drink in the cup with a slight smile on his lips.

Shen Anxing also couldn't understand this point.When Liu Xu talked about these things, he didn't seem to feel hateful at all.

From the beginning to the end, he has been smiling softly, and he doesn't seem to care.

why.

How can I laugh.

Why can't I laugh.

Shen Anxing really couldn't understand, and fell silent for a while.

After a moment of silence, he lowered his head again and muttered, "...I don't understand."

Liu Xu looked up at him.

Shen Anxing lowered his head, frowned slightly, and looked at the drink in his hand.

He said, "How can you laugh?"

"Aren't you blocked and beaten up?"

"How can you laugh?"

Hearing this, Liu Xu smiled lightly again.

"Who knows." Liu Xu said, "Maybe because you helped me fight today."

Shen Anxing - Startled: "..."

"Before today, I really didn't want to mention this matter. After all, being mobbed and beaten is really terrifying." Liu Xu said, "Especially when someone is videotaping you, it's even more terrifying."

"Besides, it's confusing. Before I was beaten last time, when they came to take me away, there were actually two friends beside me. But they thought it was scary, and they all ran away. I was the only one who was dragged over and beaten. .”

"Although they went to ask the teacher to help find me, I was still severely beaten and stayed in the hospital for four or five days."

"So I feel that no one can be relied on in this matter. No one will help me fight with me. The matter can only be resolved by myself. Unlike those who beat me, there is no one behind me, No one will help me."

"To tell you the truth, I planned to go there today to get beaten up and make things worse. I'm going to fight, those people are very annoying, and they come to trouble me again today, so-see, only by making things worse It's settled... the students of No. [-] Middle School were beaten up by the group of No. [-] Middle School, and if this matter is going to be spread, won't they be promoted to the school class?"

When Liu Xu said this, he stopped for a while.

He looked at Shen Anxing, paused for a while, then smiled helplessly, and said, "But who knew you would come out halfway."

Shen Anxing: "..."

"I thought I was alone. But when you came, I realized that there was someone behind me."

"So I'm very happy, and I feel that this matter doesn't seem so difficult...I'm really happy, Shen Anxing."

"Thank you for coming to help me. Thanks to you, I can tell you this with a smile here."

"..."

Shen Anxing had never been thanked by others, when Liu Xu said this, he suddenly blushed.

He coughed twice quickly, lowered his head, and his eyes drifted out of the window.

He didn't dare to respond, but it seemed that he couldn't justify it now.

He had no choice but to stammer and reply: "No...it's okay."

Liu Xu laughed twice, and asked again: "What about you? Why did you remember to follow me after school today?"

"..."

When he asked this, Shen Anxing fell silent.

After a moment of silence, he said: "When they were talking about the cake shop at noon, I woke up—for a while."

"...a cake shop?"

Liu Xu was a little dazed by what he said, and it took two or three seconds before he remembered: "Oh... you said that the cake called "LUCKY" at Shengtong's side that He Gaohan and Ning Qiao were talking about at noon shop?"

"..."

This store seemed to make Shen Anxing feel uncomfortable all over.

Liu Xu could clearly see that his face darkened and the corners of his eyebrows twitched.

"...What, what's wrong." Liu Xu was inexplicably frightened, and asked in a low voice, "You...do you have a grudge against that store?"

"...That's right."

Shen Anxing responded briefly, then let out a long sigh, and said, "It's a bit of a holiday, it's not important... Uh, after I woke up at noon, I saw that your expression was not right. I also saw that there was a student from the No. [-] Middle School at the door, and it seemed that they were looking for a fight, so I felt that something was wrong, so I just guarded there for a while."

...In the end, Liu Xu was really guarded.

Liu Xu was speechless for a moment.

"All in all, from what you've said, these people have been there several times." Shen Anxing said, "I'll get up early next week, and let's go with you. Where is your home?"

Liu Xu: "...?"

Liu Xu didn't react for a while, and after blinking blankly, he said: "It's... on the other side of Fengxiang Street, Yueqing Apartment... No, you want to pick me up from school??"

"...I'm afraid they will come again, I just want to guard you, and besides, it's just going to take two more steps." Shen Anxing dodged his unnatural eyes again, turned his head and said, "Anyway, we'll go together It's just a study, do you have a question?"

"...No." Liu Xu wanted to laugh a little, and couldn't help but say, "Have you noticed that when you get shy, you really always say "just", there are three in this sentence."

Shen Anxing: "...shut up."

Liu Xu restrained herself, pursed her lips vigorously, looking very hard.

Shen Anxing twitched the corners of his mouth, his face was full of displeasure, and he stared at him, as if he really wanted to give him a slap.

Shen Anxing was too fierce, Liu Xu had no choice but to purse his lips to suppress a smile, but the more Shen Anxing looked at him like this, the more he wanted to laugh.

The two tried their best to hold back their laughter and stared at each other for a long time.

In the end Liu Xu couldn't hold it back, he broke his skills with a puff, and just laughed in front of Shen Anxing.

Shen Anxing was full of embarrassment, slammed down the table, and said loudly: "Stop laughing! You are sick! Who would be ashamed of you!?!"

"No no no..." Liu Xu was overjoyed and said, "No, you can't blame me!! You too... you are too cute—"

Liu Xu couldn't help laughing, Shen Anxing was so angry that he wanted to hit him with the drink in his hand, but he felt it was inappropriate, so he could only stare at him blushing, ashamed and annoyed, and yelled a few words that were useless, "Don't laugh up".

That was the first time Liu Xu saw Shen Anxing arguing with him, the first time he saw that he was not the closed and sensitive Shen Anxing who shut himself up.

Later, he couldn't figure out why Shen Anxing, a person with a closed heart, would take the initiative to ask to go to school with him.

After a long time, Liu Xu finally understood why.

Because he inadvertently said to Shen Anxing, "You came and I found out that there is someone behind me."

He does not mean that.For Shen Anxing, what Liu Xu said meant that he was needed.

So he was going to pick up Liu Xu, and he had to guard him.

Because deep down in his heart, he desperately needs to be recognized, and he is more eager to be needed.

He wants Liu Xu to need more.

He is a superfluous burden all his life, so he really wants to be needed.
