seasonal flu

It's been a while since the holiday, Fang Ning thought about going to the aquarium, so she sent a text message to Qi Qi.

[Ning Ning would rather die than submit: 777 When are you free?Can I go to the aquarium this week?Me, Yu'er, Zhang Yonghui and Zheng Nanyu, shall we go? ]

It took a long time for her to receive a reply, two words "not going".

Fang Ning really wanted to hang out with his friends, and said a lot of benefits, such as the weather is not cold recently, and the tickets for the Spring Festival are also discounted and not expensive. Say "sorry" back to her.

[Ning Ning would rather die than surrender: Are you and Zheng Nanyu still having a fight?Didn't talk that day, okay, tell me, I will enlighten you! ]

Qi Qi didn't reply, and she said some provocative words, such as graduating next year, don't regret it... But Qi Qi's reaction was very cold, which made her feel embarrassed to continue talking.

So Fang Ning wanted to contact Zheng Nanyu and ask him what he said to Qi Qi on the day of the holiday, which caused his temperament to change drastically, but Zheng Nanyu couldn't get in touch either.I only found out after asking Zhang Yonghui that he went to a summer camp abroad, where cell phones were strictly controlled.Fang Ning's five-person plan fell through and changed to three.

Not only the aquarium, but also T City.

On the second night of the holiday, Chen Jun came to see Qi Qi, the windows were locked and the curtains were drawn.He thought he went to bed early, but it turned out to be like this every day after that. He climbed up and knocked on the window, and he could hear obvious noises in the room.

"Qi Qi, open the window!" Chen Jun knocked again, "I know you are here, if you don't answer the phone or text, what are you doing?"

As usual, no matter what happens, Qi Qi will explain to him to open the window, but today he just can't open it.The glass would shatter if knocked any further, so Chen Jun had no choice but to come the next day and walk directly through the main entrance.

The front door of Qi Qi's house is always wide open. The reason why Chen Jun likes to climb the window is also because he doesn't like Qi Qi's father.When I walked in, it was still smoky and noisy. Qi's father was playing cards with a group of friends, and the table was full of melon seeds and change.

"Uncle, is Qi Qi at home?" He glanced at the scattered wine bottles on the ground and asked, suppressing his disgust.

Qi's father had half a cigarette butt in his mouth, and his eyes did not leave the sign: "Upstairs."

"Okay." He has recently worked in a fast food restaurant, and the off-duty employees can take away the leftovers. It's cold outside and everything will be cold, so Chen Jun simply does the opposite and makes a cup of ice cream and brings it over.He wondered if Qi Qi was angry with Zheng Nanyu again because of the idiot, so he brought some sweets to coax him not to lock the window.

Who knew that when he went upstairs, Qi Qi even locked the bedroom door.He knocked on the door several times, but there was no response.

"Qi Qi, it's me. I opened the door and brought you ice cream." Chen Jun put his ear on the door, and heard the sound of mattresses rubbing against each other. Qi Qi heard it. He waited patiently for a while, but the other party still didn't respond. Come and open the door.

Unable to coax it out, Chen Jun had no choice but to change his strategy: "Open the door, my paper is still with you, who is to blame if I can't hand in the homework?"

This trick worked, he heard Qi Qi stand up and look through his schoolbag, and then walked to the door.

"Open the door quickly." Chen Jun knocked on the door again, "I look like Grandma Wolf."

A paper was handed out from the crack of the door at the bottom, with Qi Qi's handwriting on it, and his name had already been written on it.The papers came out slowly, and the door spit out one by one like a printer. Chen Jun laughed angrily, grabbed the papers and stuffed them back.

"Give it to me with your own hands. Hurry up. If you don't open the door, I will jump from your window. Even if you can't see it, you can hear it."

"..." After a long while, the door finally opened, and Qi Qi looked at him with one eye.

Qi Qi wanted to just give him the paper, but he was not as strong as Chen Jun. Chen Jun pushed the door open effortlessly, went in and locked it with his back against the door.

With the lights off and the curtains drawn, Qi Qi's bedroom was pitch black.

"Why don't you turn on the light?" The room was lit up, and Chen Jun saw that Qi Qi was already wrapped in a quilt and hid in the corner of the bed, with his face buried in his knees. "Why don't you let me in?" He walked towards the bed, the closer he got to the bed, the more Qi Qi trembled, Chen Jun finally felt something was wrong, "What's wrong?"

In order to avoid his hand, Qi Qi shrunk so much that he couldn't be any smaller. Chen Jun grabbed him and asked him to raise his head. He saw that his complexion was very bad. Right now, someone was black and red from crying, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot. A kind of pink, the already big eyes looked distorted and terrifying under the sunken eyelids due to thinness.After not seeing him for a few days, Chen Jun felt that he had lost a lot of weight, and it seemed that a little force would break his wrist.

Caught by Chen Jun, he half-opened his mouth as if about to scream, but there was no sound, and he looked out of breath.

"Qi Qi..." Chen Jun's heart ached, "What happened?"

Qi Qi struggled violently, Chen Jun was afraid of hurting him so he had to let go, and as soon as he broke free from the restraint, he quickly retracted the cocoon made of quilt and hid his face.

"Do you want ice cream?" Chen Jun talked to him patiently for the first time, "It will melt in a while."

Qi Qi remained silent again.

The next day when Chen Jun came again, the cup of ice cream was still on the desk, and it had long since turned into soup, soaking the paper cup and getting a puddle of water stains on the table.

Chen Jun didn't turn on the light this time, he sat next to Qi Qi in the dark, the two of them looked like mushrooms side by side, and no one spoke for an hour.In the dark, he held Qi Qi's hand, and the other party shook but did not hide.

"Qi Qi, don't be afraid of me..." He whispered as if reciting a hypnotic spell, "It's okay." Even though he mentioned that he didn't know what happened, all he could do was comfort him.Chen Jun hugged Qi Qi carefully, and felt the bony spine protruding from his back.

Qi Qi buried his face in his arms, the piece of clothes was wet, and it took a long time before he murmured in Chen Jun's ear as if he had just recovered his voice: "I feel bad, I want to vomit..."

Chen Jun hasn't hugged Qi Qi like this for a long time. They are no longer friends after high school. Only Qi Qi unilaterally retains his right to be friends with him, giving him money, a bicycle, and a quiet half of the bed.

He caressed the back of Qi Qi's head strangely, and remembered something he said in elementary school and junior high school. He should have been Qi Qi's best friend and closest support.Chen Jun used to be reluctant to cry with Qi Qi, but now seeing the person haggard in his arms, he has forgotten how to comfort him gently.

Qi Qi didn't leave the house for the entire holiday.
