Sludge to the Mountain Ghost

As soon as he hit him, it was as if a magnet had been attached to Lin Pai, Fang Zhenghao rushed towards Lin Pai accurately, and secretly pushed Lin Pai to the ground hard.

Lin Pai frowned and staggered a few steps. He could have maintained his balance, but the gardener not far away was watering the lawn, and he tripped over the soft water pipe lying on the ground.

When he fell, his forehead hit the wooden sign that said "no trampling" on the lawn. The gardener was startled by the movement and turned around to pour water on his head.

Really unlucky, Lin Pai thought.

"Sorry, sorry!" Fang Zhenghao stood aside and apologized to him with a smile.

Lin Pai wiped the water on his face, and felt a pain when he touched the bumped forehead. He judged that the skin should be scratched. He opened his eyes after wiping his face, and he saw the expression of Fang Zhenghao watching a movie.

"Lin Pai, where did you fall?" Zhou Ning pushed aside the students in the front row and knelt down to help him.

Lin Pai sat up with his arms propped up, and waved his hands to reject Zhou Ning's help. He raised his head and smiled at Fang Zhenghao, "Are you tired of working?"

Fang Zhenghao innocently raised his hands, posing in a gesture of surrender, "I was really careless, then I'll apologize to you again!"

Lin Pai patted the ashes on his hands and stood up. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he suddenly rushed to Fang Zhenghao, strangled him by the neck, and hit his stomach twice with his knees. land.

Another boy wanted to step forward to help, but Lin Pai threw him a sharp eye, and he took two steps back instead.

Before the others came to fight, Lin Pai grabbed Fang Zhenghao's collar to prevent him from falling, and punched him in the face several times.

……

"Tell yourself, what's going on?" Li Chanjuan was very busy with the midterm summary, but she still had to spare [-] minutes of patience to do Lin Pai's ideological work calmly.

"He did it first." Lin Pai's hair was drooping wet, and the tips of his hair were still dripping.

"The teacher knew that he was wrong first, but you were too aggressive. Fang Zhenghao is still lying in the infirmary."

Li Chanjuan sighed, took a few tissues to wipe his hair, "Lin Pai, have you been under too much pressure recently? It's okay to fail an exam, everyone makes mistakes sometimes."

During the morning meeting, the playground was full of people, so the ins and outs of the incident were very clear.Li Chanjuan has nothing to ask other than a few words of education and criticism.

She comforted her a few more words, and said, "I'll give you a leave of absence, go home and rest in the afternoon, don't catch a cold, and bring a copy of the self-criticism to me tomorrow."

Lin Pai nodded, and left the teacher's office with the note signed by Li Chanjuan.

Coming out of the school, Lin Pai walked in the direction of Xu Rui's house in a strange manner.When he came back to his senses, he was already standing at the door of Xu Rui's house.

This street, this row of houses, and this door are all the same as before, and there seems to be no change. There is some dust on the door lock. Lin Pai brushed it with his fingertips and wiped off a thin layer.

He took out the key from his pocket, opened the door, and went straight to Xu Rui's room on the second floor.

There used to be a floor-to-ceiling mirror in He Hui's room, but Xu Rui moved the mirror over after her accident.

The black peaked cap was quietly hanging on the branch-shaped coat rack. Lin Pai took it off and dusted off it, and gestured to his head in the mirror.

He took a deep breath, sat down cross-legged, temporarily put the peaked cap on his lap, and was distracted by the ashen-faced person in the mirror.

At a certain moment long ago, Xu Rui also looked in the mirror like this. Lin Pai imagined the scene when he put this hat on him, and put the hat on his head.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Lin Pai turned his head and saw Xu Rui standing at the door of the room. If he hadn't been leaning on crutches, Lin Pai would have thought it was a hallucination.

"Why are you here?" Xu Rui walked to him, took off his peaked cap, looked at him in surprise, and asked, "Why is your hair wet? Your clothes are also wet, and what happened to the injury on your head? Who bullied you?"

"I'll get my hat." Lin Pai stood up, snatched the hat from him, and put it on his head.

Xu Rui grabbed his wrist and asked, "Tell me what's going on first."

"I fell by myself." Lin Pai withdrew his hand forcefully, looked Xu Rui up and down, and asked, "When did you leave the hospital? The leg is still...is the leg better?"

"I just got out of the hospital today, I..."

"Xu Rui! Can you do it yourself? Do you want me to clean it up for you?" Xu Ping shouted from downstairs.

Xu Rui turned his head and said towards the stairs, "No, I can clean it up myself."

"Then hurry up!"

"understood!"

It turned out that he came back to pack his luggage, Lin Pai nodded clearly, "Sit down, I'll help you."

Xu Rui wanted to say something, but was hugged by Lin Pai and sat on the edge of the bed. Lin Pai let go of him, and immediately turned around to pack up his things.

"Bring all the toiletries in the bathroom. If you don't bring them, you will have to wait for the expiration date... I have taken out the short sleeves and coats you often wear... Do you still need winter clothes?

It seems that I can't let it go, you can move it for a second time later, or I can send it to you...and this thread bound book, which is also your favorite..."

Lin Pai helped him pack his luggage, and asked him if he was missing anything, Xu Rui shook his head, and Lin Pai carried the suitcase and prepared to go down the stairs.

"Lin Pai!" Xu Rui leaned on a cane and took his hand from behind, "I called you a lot and sent you a lot of messages..."

Lin Pai turned his head and gave him a sleepy look, "Study is very heavy, if there is nothing important, it's better to play less with your mobile phone."

"That's not what I meant that day. I was, just for a while... In short, you will always be the most important thing in my heart, do you understand? The most important thing will always be you."

"I don't understand." Lin Pai glanced at the hands they were holding together, "Let go, I have to carry my luggage downstairs."

Xu Rui clenched his hand even tighter, "Then tell me what you want, whether you want the stars or the moon, and I'll pick it up for you right now, even if you're lame."

"I want you, can you afford it?" Lin Pai stared into his eyes, and opened Xu Rui with his other hand.

He handed the house key to Xu Rui, then went downstairs with his suitcase, leaving Xu Rui standing in the room in a daze.

Xu Ping was surprised to see Lin Pai in the house.Lin Pai claimed that he came to pick up his hat, ran into them by chance, and handed Xu Rui's packed suitcase to him. Xu Ping didn't ask any further questions, and raised his head to urge Xu Rui to go downstairs.

Xu Rui made several calls to Zhou Ning, but they were all hung up. He was about to call again when he received a message from Zhou Ning: "Brother, are you here to kill me? I'm in class!"

"Why didn't Lin Pai go to school today?" Xu Rui asked him.

"He came in the morning and had a fight with Fang Zhenghao. He may have asked for leave in the afternoon... Have you returned to school? Why didn't I see you?"

"You didn't report to me about such a big fight? Did that grandson do the bruise on his forehead?"

"I don't know where you guys are going to cause trouble! But Fang Zhenghao is always looking for trouble every day, and I have encountered it several times."

"Then you still haven't told me?"

"Are you familiar with Lin Pai or me? Don't talk, don't talk, Xu Lin wants someone to answer the question."

Holding the phone, Xu Rui limped down the stairs. When he went out, he walked around the car door and was stopped by Xu Ping, "I'm going to school."

"I've already completed the formalities at the school. Hurry up and get in the car. The appointment with the tutor is almost up." Xu Ping opened the car door for him.

"But I..." Xu Rui looked around the street, Lin Pai had long since disappeared, and a few neighbors were sitting in front of their house basking in the sun, casting curious glances at them.

Xu Ping turned up his volume a little, and accused, "What you said was wrong, Xu Rui, do you still think you are a child?"

Xu Rui glanced at his legs, and his momentum immediately weakened. Like a deflated ball, he got into the car limply.

56. Chapter 56

Xu Rui began the long days of "being in Cao Ying and heart in Han".

After divorcing He Hui, Xu Ping started a new family and now has a daughter who is in primary school.

After Xu Rui was discharged from the hospital, he lived with them all the time, but except at the dinner table, Xu Rui might not meet them all day long.

The most seen are tutors and live-in nannies.He has bad legs and feet, and the longest distance he can walk is from the residential building to the gate of the community.

Xu Ping hired tutors of various subjects for him to help him make up the lessons for this semester.

He has been in class since he opened his eyes in the morning. He often fell asleep several times during the day, and then was woken up by the tutor grabbing the collar without any surprise.

After dinner in the evening, he went downstairs for a walk, and came back to continue his night reading. He began to appreciate Lin Pai's boring life before.

One day after the class ended, Xu Rui left the community alone on crutches.

When Xu Ping came back and couldn't find him, he asked his wife if she had seen him. The wife said that she had just picked up her daughter from school, so how could she know where Xu Rui, a living man, had gone.

Xu Ping went to ask the live-in nanny again, but the nanny thought that Xu Rui was just walking around by himself as usual.

"Your precious son is the only one I see all day long. Your daughter has been in class for a day. Why don't you care about her hard work?" Xu Ping's wife complained.

"When did I stop caring about you?" Xu Ping retorted.

The two of them exchanged a few words, the nanny and the little girl were used to it, one brought out the prepared meal, and the other ate it with relish.

Just when Xu Ping's wife was about to get really angry, Xu Rui opened the door and came back.
