Sludge to the Mountain Ghost

What kind of wind is it, the fever has burned the brain?What do you mean I am endless!If I ask you if you have a heat stroke and you haven't recovered yet, you will scold me, you are sick! "

Zhou Ning sat in the front row of Xu Rui. He wanted to say something to calm down Xu Rui, but he worried that if he said something, he would be beaten accordingly, which would be too bad.

"Xu Rui!" Li Chanjuan heard the movement outside the classroom and hung up the phone in a hurry. She walked to the two of them, brought back Lin Pai's kicked chair, and scolded Xu Rui, "The first day of school starts today. One day, study hard for me when I go to school! Don't bully my new classmates here!"

"I bullied him?" Xu Rui pointed at himself, then at Lin Pai, and sat down with dissatisfaction.

Li Chanjuan didn't believe Xu Rui, and instead asked Lin Pai, "Tell me, what's going on."

"No, Teacher Li, I'm sorry, we just misunderstood." Lin Pai said with his head down.

Li Chanjuan glared at Xu Rui again, and asked the representatives of all subjects to collect the summer homework and send it to the teacher's office before the lunch break, and then hurriedly went out to deal with the matter.

Xu Rui sat on the seat with a serious face, and he took out a box of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water and a box of antipyretic medicine from the drawer, which Lin Pai forgot to take away from his home that day.

He deliberately didn't look at Lin Pai, turned his head and looked out of the window, and "slammed" something firmly on Lin Pai's desk.

7. Chapter 7

There were only two classes in the afternoon, and the third class was self-study. Xu Rui didn't say a word to Lin Pai. When he turned the pages of the book, he deliberately made a lot of noise, which attracted dissatisfied eyes several times.

As soon as the bell rang for the end of the second class, the English teacher was still copying the writing on the blackboard. Xu Rui closed the English book and left the classroom swaggeringly through the back door. Tripped over the foot of a chair.

Lin Pai felt that the chair paused, and turned his head to see Xu Ruiruo's nonchalant back. Without knowing it, he turned back to the blackboard. When he wanted to understand what happened just now, he buried his head and pretended to be reading a book. But I wanted to laugh a little bit.

Until halfway through the self-study class, Lin Pai did not see Xu Rui come back.He stretched out his arms to reach Zhou Ning in the front left. Zhou Ning was rough and fleshy. Instead of looking back to see who was looking for him, he stretched out his hand and scratched his back.

Lin Pai took a pen and poked Zhou Ning with the capped end, and the latter reacted and looked back at him.

Lin Pai pointed to Xu Rui's empty table with a pen, and asked in a low voice, "Where did he go?"

Zhou Ning put his palms to his mouth, and said in a low voice, "It should be on the playground. Brother Rui has to go to training for three or four classes in the afternoon."

"Why are you looking for him..." Zhou Ning moved closer to Lin Pai. Before he finished asking, Lin Pai had already closed the book and walked out of the classroom.

Lin Pai walked a few steps and then turned back, taking the mobile phone in the drawer, Zhou Ning quickly grabbed the corner of Lin Pai's school uniform, and said sympathetically, "Don't do it!"

Lin Pai took out the corner of the school uniform shirt from Zhou Ning's hand, and left without saying anything.

There were not many students on the road. When Lin Pai arrived, the self-study class was not over yet. There were only a dozen students with sports talents training on the playground. The girls were all wearing vests and shorts. Although the boys were issued uniforms, they couldn’t stand the weather. It's too hot, and several of them are shirtless and wearing shorts, practicing running various distances.

Although there are mostly boys on the playground, and the clothes of the boys are similar, Xu Rui is still very conspicuous.

On the one hand, he is too tall, and it is difficult to reduce his presence in the crowd;

On the other hand, he was the only boy on the playground with a top on.

Lin Pai entered through the small door on the side of the playground, just ahead of where the curve turns into a straight road, and Xu Rui is at the other end of the diagonal line of the playground. From Lin Pai's perspective, Xu Rui's moving speed is very slow , It seems that he is practicing long-distance running.

Lin Pai propped up one leg, leaning against the blue painted railing next to the playground, the shade of the trees above his head just made him hide in it.

His eyes occasionally stare at an osmanthus tree not far away, and occasionally follow Xu Rui's shadow. The shadow circles around the playground, gradually moving from behind Xu Rui to in front of Xu Rui, and then repeating the cycle again and again. .

Long-distance running practice is very easy for Xu Rui. You don't need to run too fast. There is heat in the wind, but when you brush the sweat on your forehead, it still feels cool.

He ran leisurely and noticed Lin Pai under the shade of the tree from more than 100 meters away, but he didn't slow down until he ran past the shade of the tree. He just turned his head and glanced at Lin Pai's position, and found that the other party was walking Staring at the plastic runway in a daze, Lin Pai felt even more baffled.

There are eleven laps in total.Counting from Lin Pai to the playground, until the scorching sun gradually retracted its edge, and the golden afterglow of the setting sun spread across the sky on one side, he counted Xu Rui's eleven laps.

Lin Pai stared at Xu Rui's shadow, thinking that he seemed to be some kind of tireless weirdo. He ran on the dark red plastic track, splashing the enthusiasm of seventeen or eighteen years old into the air at his feet, and Lin Pai gave birth to A little envious.

After Xu Rui ran the lap, he followed the coach to do some explosive sprint exercises. After the training of the day was over, he left with the track and field team from another exit of the playground.He looked back, and Lin Pai was no longer under the shade of the tree.

"Did you leave something on the playground?" A girl who followed the team asked casually when she saw Xu Rui looking around.

"No." Xu Rui shook his head, turned his head and followed the team in front.

People from the track and field team went to the equipment room next to the playground, put away their spiked shoes and other belongings, and left in twos and threes. Xu Rui got his phone and looked at the unread messages. The friends had dinner and posted their dinner in the group.

Xu Rui was the last one to leave, and he was in charge of locking the door as a matter of course. When he put the key through the lock, he caught a glimpse of a person standing not far from the wall from the corner of his eye. He looked up and saw that Lin Pai was holding a glass of watermelon juice in one hand. standing.

He threw the key into his pocket, and stood by the door for a while, Lin Pai didn't speak, but Xu Rui stared at him a little bit tremblingly.

He pointed to the watermelon juice in Lin Pai's hand with his eyes, and asked, "For me?"

Lin Pai responded with a muffled nasal cavity, and Xu Rui had already taken a glass of watermelon juice from him. He tore off the plastic packaging of the straw with one hand, lowered his head and took a big sip of the watermelon juice, raised his eyes and followed Lin Pai. Pai said, "Tell me, what can you do to me."

With a straight face, Lin Pai hesitated for two seconds, as if he had made some great determination, and said seriously, "I apologize to you for what happened in the morning."

"I don't eat people, why are you so bitter and bitter?"

Xu Rui chuckled, and freed up a hand to tear off the plastic packaging of Lin Pai's straw. He held the end of the package that was still there, and handed the torn end to Lin Pai. Lin Pai pulled out the straw, and he Together with the plastic package that I was holding in my hand just now, I threw it into the trash can at the door of the equipment room.

"Talk while walking." Xu Rui clinked glasses of watermelon juice with Lin Pai, and walked towards the classroom.

The two of them had nothing to say along the way, as if they were really concentrating on drinking watermelon juice.

When he arrived downstairs in the teaching building, Xu Rui's cup had already run out. He threw the empty bottle into the trash can at the corner of the corridor at a distance of two meters. fell to the ground.

Xu Rui took a few steps forward resignedly, bent down to pick up the empty bottle, and threw it into the trash can without fail.

Lin Pai stood on a few steps, silently watching Xu Rui complete this series of childish actions, and waited for him to catch up before saying, "If you want to know what they passed on, you can ask me directly."

"Will you tell me if I ask you?" Xu Rui turned his head and looked at him provocatively.

"Yes." Lin Pai went up a few steps forward without looking back at Xu Rui. The corner of the stairs was facing west, and the glass window at the corner was half opened. The setting sun cast warm yellow light on the steps. Grade, the evening wind still carried some heat from the day, stirring a few strands of hair on the back of his head and the hem of his white shirt.

"Oh..." Xu Rui withdrew his glance to the side, and turned to look up at Lin Pai's back in the sunset, thinking how thin it is, as if the wind was stronger, he could float up, "but I Not interested, don't want to ask."

Lin Pai looked back at him in surprise, Xu Rui stood at the bottom of a few steps, his whole body in the shadow, with a faint smile hidden in the corner of his mouth.

"In any case, I've lived for more than ten years, who hasn't done anything wrong yet." Xu Rui walked past Lin Pai two steps at a time, passed the corner of the stairs and found him still standing there, so he leaned on the handrail and said to him , "Didn't the sun get enough sun just now? In fact, the sun will rise tomorrow, and it will give you enough sun."

Through the glass window, Lin Pai squinted his eyes and stared at the bright spot in the western sky for a moment, then followed Xu Rui with strides.

-

Lin Pai attends classes at school during the day, and works part-time at Dong Wenwen's Internet cafe at night, and then sleeps in a small room behind the counter.

It has not been a week since such a peaceful day. On Wednesday, when Lin Pai just entered the school gate, the eyes of the students next to him became more and more serious.

Obviously by the time he left school yesterday, few people paid attention to him on the road.

Lin Pai's heart suddenly felt intense anxiety, he walked towards the direction where the students gathered by instinct, every step he took was fast, and every step he took was frightening.

All kinds of curious and inquiring eyes followed the buildings on both sides to recede frame by frame, creating an unrealistic feeling of dizziness out of thin air.

He walked faster and faster, and even his breathing became short of breath.
