seasonal flu

Chapter 40

"Don't stay in the house every day and don't go out. How can you grow taller if you don't bask in the sun?" When Qi Qi went downstairs to eat, Qi's father stopped him and gave him a red ticket, "Go and buy a pack of cigarettes for your father, Exchange two bottles of beer." Qi Qi stood still and stared blankly at him.

Qi Qi didn't accept the money, and Qi's father became a little impatient: "Why are you stupid? There must be a limit to the house, right?"

The owner of the poker table doesn't play cards, so it's not easy for others to continue, so a group of poker friends, men and women, aunts and uncles all stared at Qi Qi.A poker player smoothed things over and said: "Children, it's normal not to like to go out. My skinny kid can't catch it when he goes out in the wild all day. It's black to carbon. How can Qi Qi be so white?"

"Yeah, staying at home means being in love with family, and being in love with home means being filial. Brother Qi, you are lucky!"

Father Qi snorted and turned his head away from looking at Qi Qi, twisted the cards in his hand and made a match: "Blessing? You want this blessing for you."

The next family looked at the card and said: "I'm sorry, pass."

Qi Qi was frightened when the atmosphere was cold, and he was still standing there, as if he had been triggered by some kind of stress state, his chest heaved and breathed greatly. "What a blessing, Qi Guodong. You don't know if you don't go to the parent meeting. The grade meeting has praised the child, and the grade ranking has improved by two hundred!" An aunt got up, picked up an empty wine bottle from the ground, and handed it In Qi Qi's hands, he pushed him to the door, "Go, boy, don't get angry with your father, he just has this temper."

Qi Qi stood at the door for a long time holding the wine bottle and money.The holiday was coming to an end, and he was still a little afraid of light, reluctant to go out, or even go to school.He sent a message to Chen Jun, and in about 15 minutes, the other party came over and took away the wine bottle in his hand.

They were sitting in the backyard again at night, and Chen Jun asked him, "What should I do when school starts? If you don't want to go, just ask for leave."

Qi Qi shook his head.

"Still going? You dare not go out, so don't go."

He pointed to the bicycle parked at the door.

"Why? Do you want me to see you off? Are you forcing me to get up early?" Chen Jun stood up and looked down at Qi Qi's begging eyes. After a holiday, his hair grew again, and his eyes looked hazy behind his bangs hazy.Seeing it, Chen Jun couldn't help but cough twice, "...Then let's practice tonight, let's go out for a walk with the dog."

This street is old. The task of demolition and relocation was carried out in the first two years of last year, and many families have been moved away. The surrounding area is a scene of dilapidated walls and few people, which is convenient for walking a big dog.There was no one on the street, so Chen Jun loosened the dog leash. He led two wolf dogs, and Qi Qi followed behind him holding his sleeves.Until now, Chen Jun didn't know what happened. He wasn't smart enough to figure it out, and Qi Qi would cry again if he asked urgently.

Qi Qi grabbed his hand suddenly, Chen Jun was stunned for a moment, and found that he was touching the scratch on the side of his palm.

"I've already taken the medicine, and I'm fine." Chen Jun said.

Qi Qi talked less than before, and whispered: "I miss my mother..."

But you haven't seen your mother.Chen Jun refrained from saying this, and said coldly: "I don't want to, and she doesn't want me anyway." After finishing speaking, he felt that it wasn't good enough, and added, "...But your mother should miss you."

It was a cold night in February. It snowed yesterday, and today it melted into mud. Their hands were cold.Chen Jun thought meanly and selfishly, it would be fine if he kept living like this.Qi Qi is just a mute, he only relies on him to listen to him the most, there is no school, no Zheng Nanyu, Qi Qi who is stupid and afraid of being bullied belongs to him alone.He doesn't need Qi Qi to be cheerful, make friends, improve in studies, excel in sports... All he needs is Qi Qi to be a pair of stray abandoned dogs.

The snow had melted away on the first day of school, and Chen Jun got up late to take Qi Qi to class. Both of them rushed into the school without having breakfast.

At the door, Qi Qi dared not go in, and Chen Jun pushed him in.

"It was you who said you would come to class, don't let me send you here early in the morning, you ran away!" He grabbed his schoolbag and took it in. When he got to his seat, the person next to him had already arrived and was chatting with someone, Qi Qi lowered his voice He sat down as unobtrusively as possible.

Zheng Nan and the holiday schedule are very full. His English is weaker than the other two subjects. During the holiday, his parents signed him up for a summer camp and sent him abroad, and they even took away his mobile phone in the first half of the month.Fortunately, Zheng Nanyu himself is not a person who is addicted to electronic products, so he doesn't feel tormented by brushing up questions and making new friends.When he got the phone and saw a lot of messages, he replied one by one with apologies.

There is no message from Qi Qi, Zheng Nanyu thinks it is normal, because Qi Qi stopped sending him messages some time before the holiday.There was neither embarrassment nor embarrassment between the two of them because of that incident, and he was too embarrassed to bring up the topic. Everyone said that keeping a distance and still approaching each other would inevitably be suspected of being deliberately provocative.It's better to wait until school starts, and the two should be able to communicate normally after a holiday.

From the corner of his eye, he saw the tablemate sitting at the same table, and he turned around to say hello: "Qi Qi..." He got stuck in the middle of the sentence, because he could hardly recognize Qi Qi's appearance.

Too thin, almost skinny, even in a thick coat, you can see the clues in the deep depression in the side of his face.Qi Qi's face was originally small, but now it is even smaller, with a pointed chin, making his eyes bigger.The hair is very long, with bangs covering the eyes, and it can even be braided in the back.Qi Qi looked as if he had been fished out of a frozen lake, so gray that he couldn't see clearly, and someone had taken away all the vitality from his body. If it wasn't for the mole on the tip of his nose, Zheng Nanyu would not have recognized him.

He subconsciously glanced at Chen Jun, who stared back fiercely.

"Why are you so thin?" Qi Qi nodded slightly, but did not speak.

Qi Qi looks a bit bitter, but when he smiles, his apple muscles pop, and his big eyes are watery and sweet.Someone must have done something to Qi Qi this holiday, if it wasn't Chen Jun, then who?Zheng Nanyu obviously felt the change in him, Qi Qi was even more timid than when he first met him.No matter what Qi Qi asked all day, he didn't reply. The two of them were obviously at the same table, and they were so dull that they seemed to be separated by thousands of miles.

Fang Ning was also taken aback, but she was still sulking about Qi Qi not replying to her messages during the holidays, and she couldn't get off the stage if Qi Qi didn't talk to her, so she kept holding back.I couldn't bear it until lunch, and complained to Zheng Nanyu: "Why doesn't Qi Qi talk to me! I didn't recruit him either..."

Zhang Yonghui glanced at Qi Qi who was sitting with Chen Jun in the distance, his back was as thin as paper, and guessed: "Looking at how thin he is, I think maybe something big happened at home during the holidays, such as the death of a relative... Please forgive me , he may have to slow down."

Fang Ning didn't expect this level: "Ah, it is indeed possible... Well, then I will send a message tonight and ask."

Zheng Nan and his eyes kept staring at Qi Qi. Qi Qi, who was originally a good-looking puppy, was skinny and had his tail tucked up.Is it because of yourself?Because I rejected him?But he didn't believe that Qi Qi would torture himself so much because of this.

"...Yes, Zheng Nanyu, what did you say to Qi Qi that day? Have you made up yet?" Fang Ning asked this question again.

"When?"

"On the day of the holiday, didn't you ask him to go to the utility room on the first floor to talk to you?"

"I didn't, I left early that day." Zheng Nanyu frowned, "Who told you that I was looking for him?"

"Ah?" Fang Ning was stunned, "Yes, it's a classmate from a foreign class, I don't know him...he said he was passing along..."

"Do you remember what it looks like?" He intuitively felt that this matter was very important, and asked anxiously, "Which class is it from?"

Fang Ning was frightened by his serious expression when he stood up suddenly: "No, I don't know, anyway, it shouldn't be from Class 7 or Class 9..."

Li Yu'er hurriedly said: "Calm down first, Fang Ning won't be able to remember!"

Zheng Nan and then sat down slowly, but he couldn't eat any more.

……

After all, it is the third year of high school, and soon after the start of school, I will put into the rhythm of intense study.Their English teacher is famously strict in the grade, and at the same time, he leads an experimental class, and every question left in the homework paper must be explained clearly in class.This teacher Xu is thin and dry, with short curly hair, but his voice is extremely high, louder than the Chinese teacher next door with a loudspeaker.

"Question 28, students who didn't get it right raise their hands." She looked around, and the tricky grammar of this question stumped two-thirds of the people. "Student who is right, who will tell me?"

Teacher Xu likes to walk around in class. She has always paid special attention to Qi Qi, so she knocked on his desk: "His hair has grown a lot this holiday, Qi Qi, let's talk about this question."

She has a natural love for the lonely children in the class, and she was very pleased with Qi Qi's rapid progress in English until last semester, and she often asked him to give lectures to exercise self-confidence.However, this customary love is a blockbuster to Qi Qi now, he still can't talk to people freely, he stands up hastily, his ears are full of non-existent roars.He knew this question, but it was difficult for him to speak. Whenever he wanted to say something, his throat would secretly hurt, like a lump in his throat, and then acid water in his stomach, making Qi Qi feel sick.

He just stood there quietly, pinching and rubbing the corner of the rolled noodles repeatedly, and the edges were rolled by him.Teacher Xu thought he was thinking carefully about his words, but he didn't expect that he didn't even say "um", "er", and "ah" for a long time, so he asked him, "what's the matter, no?"

Chen Jun raised his hand: "Teacher, I'm also right about this question."

His words successfully diverted Teacher Xu's attention. After all, poor students were also her favorite objects. This kind of children had to chase after them with a whip before they were willing to learn.Teacher Xu let Qi Qi go and walked towards Chen Jun: "Then tell me."

Chen Jun stood up very unsteadily, pretending to be very professional and pointing at the options: "Uh...well, this question, A is obviously wrong, and D is the longest, so I chose it!" The students in the class roared. When he laughed, Teacher Xu was so angry that he hit him several times.

Zheng Nanyu looked at Qi Qi, he was still standing, as if he had entered his own world, his head was lowered, his hands on the paper were trembling.

"Teacher, can I go to the toilet?" He asked.

Teacher Xu was walking to the window, and waved without looking back: "If you want to go to the toilet, you don't need to ask me."

After she finished speaking, Zheng Nanyu grabbed Qi Qi's still trembling left hand and led them out through the back door to the toilet.Qi Qi staggered and followed him, looking at him at the toilet sink at a loss.

"Wash your face." Zheng Nanyu was very gentle
