The substitute is actually a scum attacking himself

Graduation is approaching, and the professional courses are gradually ending. Now the courses are concentrated on some boring theoretical development courses. The courses are not very helpful for graduation and employment. The biggest use is to collect credits for graduates.

Xie Xingzhou was one credit short, so he happened to choose this course, but he didn't expect that the course would be so boring that he, who has always been serious, found it boring.

Halfway through the course, Xie Xingzhou frequently looked out the window in a daze.

The farce outside the teaching building had subsided in the morning. After the crowds outside the window dispersed, a few student volunteers took cleaning tools and cleaned up the vases and potted plants that the crazy woman smashed along the way.

The ceramic shards of the vase were poured into the storage bucket, separated by a long distance, but Xie Xingzhou seemed to be able to hear the crackling sound of the shards smashing against the iron wall, which made him palpitate frequently.

The pitiful and sad appearance of the crazy woman in red emerged, Xie Xingzhou frowned uncomfortably, and the pen tip pierced the thick and rough paper of the notebook.

He remembered that he hadn't seen Duan Jingcheng for a long time, and heard that her condition was getting worse, and the time for waking up was only a handful.

Xie Xingzhou didn't dare to think about it, fearing that one day Duan Jingcheng would completely turn into that woman. The glory of the strong woman in the past faded away, and she became a madman in everyone's mouth and a female ghost in rumors.

He was even more afraid that Duan Jize would learn about Duan Jingcheng.

Even if Duan Jize can't remember the love between mother and child, he will do his filial piety, but I'm afraid it's more of endless self-blame—blame for his own "death".

But they will always meet, Xie Xingzhou has no right to prevent their mother and son from meeting, but he doesn't know how to do it yet.

Whoever said that nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart, Xie Xingzhou smiled bitterly, and called Meng Siyi after class.

Meng Siyi just entered her own company as an intern, and was "cared for" by relatives and leaders, so she was very busy every day.

Hearing Xie Xingzhou ask about Duan Jingcheng, she immediately withdrew from her busy work and hid in the company's bathroom.

"You've been busy working on the final project these days, so I didn't tell you that Aunt Duan was transferred to the Luohai branch some time ago... It wasn't my decision, it was the one who was rescued by Brother Duan... Wait for me After this period of time is over, I will apply to be transferred to Luohai City, and then I will go to see Aunt Duan with you at that time."

Transferring another hospital is not a trivial matter. If Xie Xingzhou was asked for his opinion, he would not agree to it, but it was a foregone conclusion.

He didn't say anything: "Got it."

Meng Siyi sighed: "Xing Zhou, I didn't tell you in advance because I was afraid that you would be distracted, and that person was not malicious. For so many years, he has taken good care of Aunt Duan as much as we do. I think my brother is still there, and he can't do it. That level."

"Don't compare him with my brother, it's not that I don't want to take care of him, but I have reasons!" Xie Xingzhou was suddenly emotional.

Meng Siyi was stunned for a long while before a surprised voice came out of the microphone: "Xingzhou, what do you mean, bro, he has already... How could I blame him for not being able to take care of Aunt Duan..."

"It's okay." Xie Xingzhou took a deep breath and calmed down, "I didn't mean it just now, I'm sorry."

He was so confused, how could he forget that Meng Siyi didn't know about Duan Jize yet.

"Xingzhou, you're under too much pressure." Meng Siyi's tone was affirmative, and she made a decision immediately, "Brother's birthday is coming soon, after celebrating his birthday, I will come to Luohai City, and we will visit Aunt Duan together. If you think there is anything wrong, I will help you talk to that person."

Xie Xingzhou was slightly stunned, took down his phone and glanced at the date.

On October 10, Duan Jize's birthday was less than four days away.

Usually, on Duan Jize's birthday, Xie Xingzhou would fly back to the capital to spend the whole night with him under the evergreen tree.But this year is no longer necessary, he can say "Happy Birthday" to Duan Jize himself.

The feeling of joy is like the waves of the sea, boiling salt and snow, and melting away the haze in my heart.

Xie Xingzhou couldn't wait to speak: "I won't be going back this year for my brother's birthday."

"Alright." Meng Siyi nodded, "Appropriately adapting to these sense of ritual is the beginning of letting go of grudges."

Has his grudge gone?Xie Xingzhou was noncommittal, but before hanging up the phone, he said sorry to Meng Siyi again.

The ambulance that picked up the student who was injured by the crazy woman this morning came again in the afternoon, but this time it went straight to the gymnasium to pick up the school's influential figures.

The school basketball team Wu Yangyang followed a group of people, but was refused by the ambulance, and then drove after the ambulance by himself.

Jiang Muye woke up and saw a group of people around the bed, he twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly, grabbed the pillow and threw it at the nearest Yang Ziao.

"Fuck, cry, I'm still alive!"

The choking sound in the room stopped, Yang Ziao took a step back in fright, and called him eagerly: "Captain..."

Jiang Muye frowned impatiently: "Get lost, don't bother me!"

Kong Rui completed the hospitalization procedures, pushed through the crowd and walked to Jiang Muye's bed, looking at him solemnly: "Mu Ye, the doctor said that you need to be hospitalized for observation now, and you may not be able to exercise strenuously in the next six months."

Jiang Muye didn't say a word, Kong Rui waved his hands to let all the team members go out.

When Guan Cheng, who was at the end, closed the door, Kong Rui found a stool and sat down, sighing, "Mu Ye, your health is important, I thought about it carefully, you are about to graduate soon, and your undergraduate major is not specialized in physical education. , In the end, I still have to go back to the capital to do what I should do.”

Hearing this, Jiang Muye finally turned his head to look at the coach in front of him, with dark fire in his eyes.

Kong Rui continued: "I originally wanted you to take Ziao and the boys to practice for half a year, but you have to listen to what the doctor said, and you can't risk your body. In order to worry less, why don't you leave the team early and take care of your illness? If you have the clock If you want to choose the captain you want, you can tell me, and I will listen to your opinion."

Jiang Muye's pupils narrowed slightly, and he wanted to say something.

A rapid ringtone of the mobile phone interrupted him, he took the mobile phone impatiently, pressed on the screen and saw Jiang Wenshan's name.

"You answer the phone. I'll go out first. Let me know when you think about it." Kong Rui stood up and said.

The phone rang three times in a row, Jiang Muye hung up one by one, and then stopped Kong Rui who had just walked to the door.

"Just Guan Cheng, he graduated and stayed here."

Kong Rui paused slightly, turned around and nodded, opened the door and let in a group of people who were pushing and shouting outside.

Jiang Muye had a terrible headache, and he was thrown out again.

He came to this ward just the day before yesterday. The bed number is the same, the attending physician is the same, and even the number of the heart monitor is the same.

After Jiang Wenshan made three phone calls to no avail, he stopped insisting.

The mobile phone at hand was a little hot, Jiang Muye turned it out boredly, his finger rested on the three words "Xie Xingzhou" on the dial page, moved away after a while, and threw the mobile phone aside.

After Xie Xingzhou finished the last class of the night, he followed the crowd out of the teaching building of the Academy of Fine Arts.

In the morning, the person who promised to take him to and from school disappeared. Xie Xingzhou stopped a few steps under the banyan tree outside the Academy of Fine Arts. A few frizzy students accidentally bumped into his back and hurriedly said sorry to him.

Xie Xingzhou came back to his senses, smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, and left the school with the frolicking crowd.

On the evening of October 10, Xie Xingzhou went to a famous cake shop and personally spread cream on the prepared cake base.

The clerk spoke to him in a complimenting tone: "You are an art student, you have such steady hands! Very beautiful."

"Thank you." Xie Xingzhou politely turned around and changed to another color of cream.

He wanted to write a sentence of happy birthday, but later felt tacky, so he only drew a Clivia and an eustoma.

It was two hours after the cake was finished and came out of the store, and it was still four hours before Duan Ji Ze's birthday on the 24th.

At this point, Yipin Bookstore must have closed, Xie Xingzhou glanced at the time, and took a taxi back to the rental house with the cake.

He had just gotten into the car when he received a message from Jiang Muye on his phone.

[I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. 】

Xie Xingzhou was slightly stunned, he didn't even know when Jiang Muye lived in the hospital, he doubted the authenticity of this sentence.

He didn't want to pay attention to it, and just about to turn off the phone, Jiang Muye quickly sent another photo.

In the photo, Jiang Muye appeared with a hand with an indwelling needle stuck in it. Opposite him was the heart monitor, and the date on the monitor was today.

【I did not lie to you. 】

【Would you like to see me tonight? 】

Xie Xingzhou held the cake in one hand and the phone in the other. He looked at the two new messages he received for a while.

He felt that with Jiang Muye's temperament, he should not have asked him if he wanted to go, but ordered him to go directly.

It's just that he won't go no matter whether he asks or orders.

Xie Xingzhou put away his phone and didn't reply.

When Duan Jize came to open the door, the room was deserted, and Yu Tangtang went out to buy some snacks.

Because Xie Xingzhou said in advance that today is a special day and he wants to come to have supper together at home, so Yu Tangtang was very happy and wanted to use his pocket money to treat Xie Xingzhou to snacks, and Duan Jize let him go.

"Why did you bring a cake?" Duan Jize took what Xie Xingzhou was holding, and asked him to sit in the living room, saying that udon noodles were being cooked in the kitchen, and they would have supper together later.

Xie Xingzhou didn't say the meaning of the cake right away, he only said that he made it himself, and said that cake should be eaten on this special day.

Duan Jize smiled gently, put the cake on the dining table, and went into the kitchen to bring out a big bowl of hot udon noodles.

The cake box was placed next to the udon noodles. Afraid of accidentally damaging the cake Xie Xingzhou made, Duan Jize carefully picked up the cake and put it aside.

The cake box was transparent, and Duan Jize saw the Clivia and eustoma on the cake.

He was stunned, staring at the cake for a long time, then turned to ask Xie Xingzhou: "Xingzhou, this is..."

Clivia and eustoma are just ordinary flowers, Duan Jize wouldn't be so surprised if he didn't think of something.

Xie Xingzhou's eyes were red almost instantly, he stood up from the sofa suddenly, and walked to Duan Jize's side.

"Brother, do you remember something?"

"I..." Duan Jize felt a dull pain in his temple, and bent down for a while, leaning on the dining table.

Xie Xingzhou was startled, and held his arm, not daring to press him any more.

Duan Jize paused for a long time before slowly raising his head to look at the people around him.

His eyes hidden behind the broken hair were gentle and passionate, and what he said made Xie Xingzhou's heart tremble even more.

"I saw a tree and a swing under the tree, and... you sat on the swing and smiled at me, saying it wasn't high enough."

"elder brother……"

Unprepared, tears rolled down the line, Xie Xingzhou was so excited that he lost his voice, his fingers were trembling uncontrollably.

Until falling into a warm and pure embrace, Duan Jize's deep voice sounded above his head: "I'm sorry, I just remembered this now."

Xie Xingzhou finally recovered his voice, "Brother, have you remembered?"

"...that's all I remember." Duan Jize let go of him slightly, tenderly and honestly.

The hug was fleeting, like a friend reunited after a long absence, how can it be worth the full of affection, Xie Xingzhou was not reconciled, and stretched out his arms to hug the person in front of him again.

"Bang—" There was a sound at the door, and Yu Tangtang stood at the door with a pale face, spilling the snacks in his arms all over the floor.

Xie Xingzhou turned to look at him when he heard the sound, but he ran away.

"Tangtang!" Duan Jize was taken aback, pushed Xie Xingzhou away without hesitation, and chased him out.

Xie Xingzhou was empty and chased after him for two steps.

"elder brother!"

Duan Jize looked back at him, Xie Xingzhou couldn't see Duan Jize's expression clearly under the mask, but read a hint of blame inexplicably.

Xie Xingzhou felt a dull pain in his heart, and watched Duan Jize chase Yu Tangtang out, before he slowly said to the empty door: "Happy birthday."

The only response to him was the slight shaking of the door panel.

Everything was too sudden, the originally supposedly bustling rental house suddenly became empty, and it took an unknown amount of time before Xie Xingzhou sat down on the bench beside the dining table.

The wall clock on the opposite side was turning every minute and every second. He kept his original posture and sat there for two hours without moving.

Until the phone rang, Duan Jize called him.

Xie Xingzhou picked it up in a hurry and asked, "Brother, how is Tangtang?"

The other end was silent for a long time, so long that Xie Xingzhou thought that the other party accidentally dialed the wrong number, Duan Jize's voice came——

"Xingzhou, I'm sorry, Tangtang can't accept it. I found him, but he doesn't want to go home. You go back first, and I'll bring him back. As for this period of time, we won't see each other again..."

"Brother, what do you mean?" Xie Xingzhou's voice was hollow and his mind went blank.

There was another noise from Duan Jize's side, as well as Yu Tangtang's crying, the sound of cars, the sound of water on the river beach... the situation seemed to be very urgent.

Duan Jize said hastily but seriously: "Xie Xingzhou, I'm sorry, when I remember everything, I will do everything I can to make it up to you, but I... can't live without Yu Tangtang."

You can't live without Yu Tangtang.

Then have you ever thought that I can't live without you...

Xie Xingzhou opened his mouth, wanting to question the person opposite him loudly, but tears flowed into his mouth, and he couldn't make a single sound, only a choked whine was left in the end.

I don't know who hung up the phone first.

Xie Xingzhou stood up from the stool in a daze, the udon noodles in front of him were already completely cold, he was about to burst into tears, this was the first time he lost his composure, and wanted to smash everything in front of him.

But he held it back.

In the end, he only took the undeliverable cake, and rolled out of the room alone in a state of embarrassment.

The streets are empty and desolate at night, only the food stalls retain the excitement of the day.

Xie Xingzhou's heart was so cold that it was about to shatter, and he urgently needed something to warm him up.

He sat down at the messy food stall, and Liushenwuzhu ordered a whole case of beer, and drank until the next table changed twice before paying the price and standing up.

He was very drunk, carried the cake wobbly, and continued walking aimlessly.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Xie Xingzhou was dazzled by the red cross light in front of him. He stopped and looked up at the building next to him.

Unknowingly, he crossed half of the city and reached the gate of the city hospital.

[I'm leaving the hospital tomorrow, do you want to come and see me tonight? 】

This is the hospital where Jiang Muye was hospitalized, and Jiang Muye is in it now.

Xie Xingzhou blinked quickly, raised his hand to wipe away his tears, then took out his cell phone and frantically called Jiang Muye.

Because he was so drunk, he almost pressed the wrong button several times.

The other side picked it up quickly, Jiang Muye's tone was brisk, obviously because of the call he was in a good mood.

"What's the matter, Xie Xingzhou, it's so late, do you really want to see me?"

"I..." Xie Xingzhou choked up, slowly squatted down and curled himself into a ball, sending a distress signal to the person on the other end of the phone.

"Jiang Muye, I'm so uncomfortable, can you come and save me..."
