Shi Yu also buried his chin in the quilt, looked at him with open eyes, and nodded obediently.

Li Xiao looked at him, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only said: "You have a good rest."

He walked to the door, pressed his hand on the switch, and made a soft sound.

The world went dark.

Shi Yu fell into a faint dream.

Shi Yu dreamed about his time in high school again.

As a poor student, he went to the best middle school in the city. Every morning, his grandmother would sweep the sidewalk in front of their school. At first, no one knew about it.In the mid-term exam of the first semester of high school, after Shi Yu got into the top ten of the whole grade, the news spread inexplicably, and spread throughout the school.

Shi Yu could feel their eyes on him every day, sympathy, pity, with a little "study can be so good", admiration based on pity, probably because he felt that if a family like his was not good enough If you read books, you will have no way out in life.

Yu Yu's elementary school and junior high school had already suffered from these gazes, and they were right.So he reads his own book every day, imagining in the book that he will become famous and proud of his future, which is also a kind of venting happiness.But being different and independent, this trait itself is likely to attract disgust from the surroundings. If the person concerned does not make up for it carefully, build a good relationship with the people around him, or simply override everything by himself, it will only attract disgust and resistance.However, Shi Yu was neither of the two, and his uniqueness became the reason for being attacked.

In the first half of the semester of high school, Yu had a bad life. When he entered this school, his grades were not good, and he was assigned to a lower class during the entrance examination.Even the city's No. [-] Middle School is also a mixed bag, and Shi Yu's class is full of ghosts and monsters. There are everyone except those who study hard. After handing someone the cheat sheet, he was targeted.

There will probably be such a small gang in every class. They are above the whole class, making jokes, making sabotage, doing everything, and worse, they will imitate street gangsters in school and run rampant inside and outside school.And Shi Yu, who had no friends, no background, and nothing, became the best target for their violence.

Shi Yu fell into a nightmare, the memory of pain and humiliation made people feel breathless even in the dream, he dreamed that he passed the playground and was stopped by those people, before the opponent's fist fell, he hugged himself head of.

Then he heard a scream, followed by the sound of a basketball hitting the ground.

"Sorry, the ball went crooked."

Wearing a jersey, the sweaty teenager stood under the basket not far away, and the apology sounded very perfunctory.

Behind the boy was a sun that was about to set. Standing in that halo, he smiled at Shi Yu: "Student, please bring me the ball, thank you."

Afterwards, Shi Yu found the class that the boy was in, and also knew his name, Li Xiao.

Half a year later, Shi Yu and Li Xiao were in the same class when they were divided into arts and sciences. Shi Yu always remembered the feeling that his heart almost stopped beating when he saw the class schedule.

But Li Xiao didn't remember Shi Yu at all.Li Xiao is the focus of everyone's attention. As soon as he waved, many companions gathered around him. In the classroom, on the playground, no matter where, Li Xiao was always surrounded by everyone. He didn't remember the people he rescued at the beginning. up.Shi Yu could only hide in the corner and watch him secretly, not even daring to speak to him.Occasionally Li Xiao fights with others and throws the ball of paper on his desk. When Li Xiao comes over and says sorry to him with a smile, he gets so nervous that his scalp explodes and all his facial muscles are damaged. It's okay to hold back a sentence from his throat, Li Xiao has already turned his head and went to play with others again.

And Shi Yu originally thought that his situation would improve after being divided into classes, but it didn't take long for him to realize that he was wrong.

Human beings are made up of previous social experiences. Shi Yu's own solitude, shabby family, experience of being bullied, does not have any desire to attract people, and even arouses a new round of speculation and suspicion.

He was once again isolated in his new class.

No one wants to team up with him in physical education class. He is always alone, waiting for the one arranged by the teacher; When collecting books and materials, he would be reminded by the name of the "good faith" to pay the money on time; when selecting class cadres, someone nominated him as a labor committee member in an uproar because his grandmother was a sanitation worker... Shi Yu finally got along with The booing boy started fighting.

They made that kind of seemingly innocuous joke, viciously, recklessly, and relentlessly bullied others. Once the person involved resisted, they would be labeled as stingy, unaffected, and neurotic.

But Shi Yu couldn't hear those words anymore, his eyes were red, his teeth were gritted, and he just wrestled with others without saying a word. He lost the wind and felt the bloody smell in his mouth, but he still refused to let go. until it was pulled away.

Someone grabbed him, pressed his shoulder firmly with one hand, and said to Shi Yu, "Don't move."

When Shi Yu heard Li Xiao's voice, it seemed as if someone had cast a spell on him, and he really stopped moving, his eyes were still red, and he stared at him as if he wanted to eat someone.

Then Li Xiao didn't give any explanation in front of everyone. He took Shi Yu's hand and went directly to the infirmary.

Waiting for Yu to return to the classroom wrapped in gauze, no one pursued him for the beating, and even the teacher only gave him a few words, not even a lesson.

And before the bell rang for the next class, someone finally settled in the next door that had been vacant all year round - Li Xiao moved the desk next to him.

He and Li Xiao became tablemates.

……

…………

Shi Yu broke free from the dream, because he couldn't bear to wake up, he struggled harder.When he woke up, he felt dry mouth and sweat all over his body. When he moved, the ice pack on his forehead slid to one side.

He grabbed the ice pack, sat up in bed, took a moment to wake himself up, and got out of bed.

He walked out of the room, all the curtains in the living room were drawn, and the room was spacious and bright. Li Xiao was sitting on the sofa and was playing video with someone with his laptop on. He was wearing earphones, as if he was worried about disturbing others, and his voice was deliberately lowered. .

Shi Yu was hesitant to go over, but Li Xiao had already spotted him, and he said to the other side: "I'll talk to you later."

Li Xiao took off the earphones, threw them on the table, stood up and walked towards him.

Shi Yu slightly stood there stiffly.

Li Xiao stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, and said with satisfaction: "Well, the fever is gone."

She lowered her eyes again, took a closer look at his face, and asked him, "How do you feel, are you feeling better?"

Shi Yu nodded, curled his fingers together nervously, and said, "Thank you...for your trouble last night."

Seeing his uneasy look, Li Xiao knew it was because of his anger last night, he paused, his expression eased, and said: "There is porridge in the kitchen, you are still not well, eat something light."

Shi Yu nodded vigorously as if wishing to carve every word of him.

Li Xiao laughed, seeing that his earlobes were still a little red, he couldn't help stretching out his hands to pinch them, and said with a low smile, "Now you're so obedient and obedient again?"

Shi Yu's ears were pinched, but his face turned red, he pursed his lips, as if he was desperate, he suddenly stood on tiptoe, and kissed Li Xiao's lips.

"...Because I like you."

Shi Yu spoke quickly, probably because he was very embarrassed, and slipped into the kitchen before Li Xiao could catch him.

Li Xiao was caught off guard by a kiss, stood where he was, touched his lips, thought it was funny, but there was a little tenderness in his eyes.

Shi Yu was drinking porridge, and saw Li Xiao enter the room and come out with a change of clothes. He held the bowl, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Are you going out?"

Li Xiao nodded, while facing the mirror to tie his tie, he said, "I have something to go out, you..."

Shi Yu immediately put down the bowl, and said very consciously, "Yeah, I'm leaving right away, too."

Li Xiao's hand on the tie stopped, turned his head, looked at him with a frown, and said, "You're not well yet, why are you running around?"

Shi Yu was startled: "?"

"You have a good rest at home, don't forget to take your medicine, and don't run around if you have nothing to do." Li Xiao paused, took out a spare key from a compartment in the shoe cabinet by the door, and put it on the shoe cabinet countertop, "If you want to Go out, remember to bring the key."

Shi Yu looked at him with wide eyes.

Li Xiao originally planned to stop here, but when he looked at him like that, the unplanned words came out of his mouth uncontrollably: "From now on, I'm not at home, so you can come in by yourself."

Li Xiao felt that this was not good, he had no intention of cohabiting with anyone, and he should not make a promise to hand over the key to one person for a long time.

He opened his mouth, and in an unhappy tone, he said: "Don't get sick again."

When Li Xiao left, he seemed a little angry for some reason.

Shi Yu didn't quite understand, but he didn't have time to pursue it.He was holding the key left by Li Xiao, the bumpy teeth bit his palm, it hurt a little, but he held it tightly, as if wishing to embed it in his palm, so that Li Xiao would not be able to hold it. The key was taken back.

Li Xiao's speech was vague and his attitude was ambiguous. He gave the key to Shi Yu, but he didn't say why or when he would return it.

But no matter what Li Xiao thinks, Shi Yu has made up his mind not to return him.

He'd lost once, he'd waited with anticipation
