Sludge to the Mountain Ghost

Keeping his chin from moving, he gently wiped the blood on his lips with his fingers, "It's okay, what's the big deal..."

Xu Rui's gaze gradually moved up, passing through the lips, passing through the tip of the nose, and finally locked on the eyes.

The heating lamp stretched the projection of Lin Pai's eyelashes, his eyes were still as bright as ever, Xu Rui suddenly moved forward, took Lin Pai's fingers in his mouth, and stirred them gently.

A wet itching came from his fingertips, passing through his whole body like an electric current. Lin Pai felt a little dizzy and itchy, and his eyes became blurred. He pulled out his fingers, stood on tiptoes and approached Xu sharp.

"You can't dodge me three times." Lin Pai held the back of Xu Rui's head, not giving him a chance to dodge.

"You don't need to tiptoe to kiss me." Xu Rui first brushed the tip of his nose lightly, then leaned over and kissed him.

Lin Pai grabbed his back with his right hand, and felt the throbbing blue veins again halfway, he stepped back a little, and said against Xu Rui's forehead, "Don't be afraid, this is my smell."

"Well... continue..."

A few minutes later, Xu Rui stopped incessantly. Lin Pai's legs were weak for a moment and he couldn't stand still. He quickly wrapped his arms around his waist, held Lin Pai in his arms, and straightened his slightly damp hair on his sideburns.

"Is it still uncomfortable?" Lin Pai asked him.

"No, I'm afraid of touching your wound." Xu Rui shook his head, and whispered into his ear as if whispering, "Lin Pai? Baby? Are you unsteady?"

Lin Pai raised his leg against his knee and withdrew from his arms, "I just had a pain in my left hand, which caused my foot to cramp."

"Okay, okay, okay..." Xu Rui nodded perfunctorily, his eyes seemed to be glued to Lin Paihong's translucent earlobe, and he reached out to help him take off his clothes, "I'll help you take a bath."

Lin Pai pressed his hand in a panic, "No, no."

"It will be very troublesome for you to touch the water later..." Xu Rui suddenly thought of something, moved his eyes down, and smiled clearly, "There is nothing wrong, I will help you solve it."

"But……"

"Don't worry, listen to me, tuck your right hand into your sleeve... lower your head, lower it a little more, yes... don't move your left hand... Kid Lin Pai is awesome!"

Xu Rui threw the clothes he took off into the bucket, and when he started to untie his belt, Lin Pai held down his hand again.

Xu Rui stretched his neck, rubbed against Lin Pai's face, and whispered, "Do you remember when we first met?"

"Are you eating watermelon?"

"Then, what did you say? I will now satisfy your unfulfilled wish at that time, without any additional money..."

Lin Pai's ears turned red all the way to his neck, and he let Xu Rui move in a daze.

After serving Lin Pai, Xu Rui took a cold shower for himself.As soon as the door was opened, the smell of chicken soup filled the whole house.

"Xu Rui, didn't you put salt in your chicken soup?" Lin Pai sat relaxed at the dining table, and shouted upstairs quite dissatisfied.

Xu Rui changed into a pair of slippers, ran down the stairs, took a mouthful of the soup with the spoon in Lin Pai's hand, and tasted it, "It seems a little bland... Oh, I don't seem to have added salt."

"You drink this bowl, I'll put salt in the pot now." Lin Pai said and walked towards the kitchen.

Xu Rui shouted behind him, "Bring me some salt! I'll just add it to the bowl... Forget it, come back, I'll get it."

"That's what you said." Lin Pai was not polite to him at all, and sat back at the dining table waiting to eat.

Ten minutes later, Xu Rui came back with two bowls of chicken soup, and handed one of the bowls to Lin Pai, "I added salt, and then boiled it for a few minutes, you can taste it enough."

"Well, it's delicious."

"Then drink more soup later." Xu Rui found the remote control from the crack of the sofa, switched it to the set-top box mode, and then watched his previous "Crayon Shin-chan" progress with relish.

Lin Pai lowered his head and quietly ate a chicken leg, looked at Xu Rui with the bowl in his arms, and said suddenly, "Brother Rui, didn't you just ask why I didn't run away?"

"I don't blame you, I just..."

"I know..." Lin Pai stretched out his arms and held Xu Rui's hand on the table, "Whether it's He Hui or Lin Kangrong, you are probably the same as me. Thanksgiving, they can bear the word "parents" only from the blood relationship. "

"But Brother Rui, do you know? It's hard for us to completely get rid of our sense of morality. We can stay away from them and sever ties, but once this choice is magnified to the point of life and death, I can't turn a blind eye to her like those people who join in the fun , because she is your mother, because you are very important to me."

"That day He Hui dragged me and fell to the ground. My hands were covered with blood. It was the first time I felt so close to death, as if it was only one step away. I was very scared, but it's okay, you coming."

Xu Rui lay on the dining table, propped his chin with one hand, watched Lin Pai quietly, and listened to him finish these words.

Lin Pai waited for a while, but he still stared at him without saying a word, so he slapped the back of Xu Rui's hand, "Did you listen to me?"

Xu Rui nodded, stood up suddenly, walked to Lin Pai, picked him up horizontally, and walked upstairs.

"Hey... what are you doing?"

"Don't move around, watch your hands."

Xu Rui kicked open the door of the room, and carried Lin Pai to the balcony. A carpet that was originally in the room had been laid here in advance. He put Lin Pai down and let him lie on his lap, "What are you thinking? Still looking forward to it?" What? I just want to watch the moon with you."

Lin Pai quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "Today is neither the first day nor the fifteenth day of the junior high school. Why do you want to look at the moon all of a sudden?"

"I want you to compare with the moonlight, who is more beautiful." Xu Rui lowered his head and put his palm on Lin Pai's face. smiled.

"Then did you compare?"

"It seems to be the moon..." Xu Rui deliberately dragged the end of the voice, and waited for Lin Pai to grab his hand in dissatisfaction before changing his words, "Of course my Lin Pai is the prettiest."

"What about my Xu Rui?"

Xu Rui sighed, "Let's barely rank second... Lin Pai, I still have something to tell you."

"Well, ready to play."

"You don't want to learn such a mess from Zhou Ning..." Xu Rui patted Lin Pai's face jokingly, and then said, "It was just yesterday that Xu Ping called me. He found out about He Hui and said he found a Lawyer, ask about the guardian and so on, let me go and see it when I have time."

"For this kind of thing, you should consult a professional. When will you go?"

"Actually, I have been avoiding it all the time. I always feel that if I don't ask, He Hui's matter has nothing to do with me. Now that I have figured it out, I plan to go out tomorrow, and it may take three or four days to go back and forth."

"Well, you go, but you have to leave the key to me, or I will be homeless."

"Aren't you coming with me?"

"You already knew it in your heart, and you still came to test me?"

Lin Pai raised his finger and pointed at him, "Your father will definitely make arrangements for you, and I can't leave here. In case something goes wrong with Lin Kangrong, my grandma can't find me, and she will be in a hurry again."

Xu Rui smiled, and held his finger, "Then you remember the time to change the medicine yourself, and call me if you have anything to do."

"Yeah. Brother Rui, your anti-theft window is installed here, it's a sight... Do you know what it looks like from my point of view?"

"like what?"

"you guess."

"birdcage?"

Lin Pai smiled and said three words slowly: "Tears behind bars."

The next day, Lin Pai sent Xu Rui to the station. In the two or three days after he came back, he began to receive frequent calls from his grandmother, asking him to go back to have lunch, and asking him to make some snacks. Later, he simply moved back home live.

Compared with before, Lin Kangrong restrained himself a lot. He still smoked a lot. He squatted at the back door by himself and smoked all afternoon, but he finally stopped drinking.

He didn't have the chance to get drunk, so the house was much quieter. Lin Pai thought it might be because of this that grandma had the energy to manage the two of them.

In the first two or three days, he would call Xu Rui every day, telling each other what he ate and did today.

Later, Xu Rui sent a text message, saying that he was a little busy and would be back a few days later, so they began to communicate only by text message.

A week later, Lin Pai had been busy cleaning his grandma all day, and when it was over, he found that Xu Rui hadn't sent him a message. He was a little angry and went to bed early.

The next morning, Lin Pai was woken up by the alarm clock. He opened his eyes in a jerk, stretched out his hand under the quilt, and picked up the phone——

"Hello? How do you... oh, Mr. Li?"

46. Chapter 46

Li Chanjuan was sitting in front of the desk at home. On the desk were several stacks of final exam papers for this semester of Class [-] and [-] of Senior High School. Now she was opening the page of Lin Pai.

She compared the class address book to find the contact information of Lin Pai's parents, and found that he only kept his own.

She dialed the number, and when Lin Pai knew it was her, she seemed surprised, so she asked him, "It's me, Teacher Li. Is it convenient for you to talk now?"

Lin Pai lifted the quilt and sat cross-legged on the bed. He cleared his throat and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Li, what can you do?"

"Don't be nervous, it's okay, the final exam results are out, I'll call you one by one. I don't have your parents' contact information here, are they by your side?"

Lin Pai looked up, and Lin Kangrong's snoring could be heard faintly through the ceiling. He silently rolled his eyes and said, "They're not free, just tell me."

Li Chanjuan paused for a while, and re-read Lin Pai's test papers for each subject, "Well... yours
