Light spot

After the summer vacation of that year, Lin Zhi and Xu Rui parachuted into the small class of a local private noble school.

Because Xu Rui hadn't been to school for too long, when he got out of the car with Lin Zhi wearing the uniform of the new school, his face could not hide his uneasiness.

Moreover, the world he has been in contact with in the past two years has been relatively closed compared to his peers. Walking in a school built in a European-style garden style, with uniformly dressed boys and girls walking by, Xu Rui has not seen so many for a long time. People of the same age, they tugged on Lin Pheasant's sleeve along the way and did not let go.

Lin's pheasant ignored him, and let him drag him all the way, and he couldn't walk smoothly. He staggered behind Lin's pheasant, and almost stepped on Lin's pheasant's shoes.

By the time they reached the door of their class, almost all the students in the class had arrived, and it was still time for early self-study. A new classmate forwarded the news. When Lin Zhi and Xu Rui stood at the door of the class, the voice inside suddenly became quiet for a moment, and the next moment, the scene of whispering and whispering began to appear.

Behind Lin Zhi, Xu Rui carefully raised his eyes and looked inside, just in time to meet the curious and observing eyes of some students, he quickly lowered his head and hid behind Lin Zhi's shoulder.

However, the 12-year-old Lin Zhi didn't have very broad shoulders for Xu Rui to cover, but Xu Rui stood behind Lin Zhi very stubbornly, even though Lin Zhi pulled him several times to pull him to his side Stand side by side at the door of the class.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Lin Zhi stood there with an apologetic smile on his face and said to the teacher standing on the podium: "I'm sorry, he's a little shy."

That was Xu Rui's first day in the new class, and it left an impression on everyone in the class.

He is like an inflexible tail attached to the back of the forest pheasant.

Although for some reason, both of them omitted to introduce themselves, but because of their identities, many students in the class have already heard of their names.

Xu Rui was distracted during the breaks of the first two classes, watching some half-grown children gather together in threes and fives to chat and play, so he sat quietly at the desk without moving much.

After such an irresistible distraction, he forgot about going to the bathroom.

He was also very embarrassed to raise his hand during class to tell the teacher that he was going to the bathroom, and the teacher probably couldn't understand sign language. Before he raised his hand, he had already figured it out. But I can't understand, the picture of the students below roaring with laughter.

This kind of assumption made him hold his urine until the end of get out of class, but when the end of get out of class was over, it cast a shadow on the school toilet.

Lin Zhi was flipping through the books, comparing the differences between the classroom and his tutor, when he suddenly felt that Xu Rui, who was sitting beside him, rubbed his knees with his legs, and then tugged at the hem of his clothes with his hands.

Lin Zhi turned to look at him, Xu Rui blushed, looked at him with a frown, and shook the hand that was holding the hem of his clothes twice.

"Go to the bathroom?"

Xu Rui felt a little embarrassed. Thinking about it, he was already in the sixth grade, and he was still a boy. He had to be accompanied to go to the toilet for such a big man.

Lin Zhi looked at his flushed cheeks from embarrassment and shame, and sighed softly.

After that, Lin Zhi had another task in his school life. He had to show the door of the cubicle to Xu Rui, who went to the toilet at school but was unwilling to lock the cubicle.

Let other students not accidentally push away.

Compared with Xu Rui who can't speak and is very timid to communicate with his peers, Lin Zhi soon became able to talk to some students in the class, especially the class committee members in the class.

And Xu Rui was very nervous when he was still in school in the first two months of school, as if he was afraid of repeating the same mistakes and experiencing the tragedy of being bullied before.

It wasn't until two months later that nothing happened that he slowly relaxed his vigilance.

As a matter of fact, Lin Zhi's behaviors such as his little dawdling before going to school and his complete reluctance to socialize with his classmates were regarded by Lin Zhi as his passive resistance against going to school.

If he knew what Xu Rui was secretly worried about, he would probably feel incredible.

Because Xu Rui didn't seem to understand his current identity at all, and he didn't realize all the changes that this identity brought to his life.

Lin Zhi saw him and himself sitting in the Rolls-Royce car that picked them up several times after school. After driving out, he could no longer see the figure of his classmate.

One day later, because a female classmate across the aisle helped Xu Rui pick up the eraser that fell on the ground, Xu Rui gained his first primary school friendship from then on.

It was a girl with a gentle and quiet personality, who showed a friendly attitude towards Xu Rui, and was even interested in speaking sign language, so she asked Xu Rui to teach him.

Xu Rui cherished this hard-won friendship very much at the beginning, and he also had great enthusiasm, so in the end, he often taught the girl sign language between classes, but for some reason, Lin Zhi became very angry when he saw it.

Then he was less willing to help Xu Rui finish his homework at night.

For this reason, Xu Rui didn't teach her very often.

So the two gradually became estranged. Later, in order to restore this hard-won friendship, Xu Rui went to the night before the gala that year and made a greeting card for the girl himself.

But I didn't expect that I put it in the schoolbag the night before, but it disappeared when I was about to send it out the next day.

After going to school, Xu Rui's regular work and rest life and school courses did consume a lot of energy.

This improved his sleep at night a lot.

One day at the end of that year, it started to rain in the middle of the afternoon, and it started to rain even harder after dinner.

Because Xu Rui saw two classmates cheering with drink bottles at the school gala, he insisted on clinking the glass with Lin Zhi every night when the two drank milk.

In the middle of the night, a muffled thunder exploded from the sky, and Xu Rui suddenly woke up from his dream, covered in profuse sweat.

He sat up and his chest heaved violently, and then quickly went to find the figure of the forest pheasant. He lifted the thin blanket of the forest pheasant, got in, and climbed to the other side of the forest pheasant.

Lin Pheasant was awakened by his movements, and he was already sound asleep, which made him a little impatient, and he opened his mouth in a slightly uncomfortable tone: "Why don't you sleep in the middle of the night!"

As a result, he heard the pattering rain accompanied by the sound of thunder, and then the panting of Xu Rui who was close at hand.

Xu Rui curled up his whole body and nestled against Lin Zhi's chest. He breathed out a sharp and heavy breath on Lin Zhi's heart, and Lin Zhi's heart suddenly felt warm.

He raised his hand to touch Xu Rui's damp pajamas, but his body temperature was not very high, as if he had woken up in a cold sweat again.

Xu Rui obviously hasn't had nightmares for a long time, and he doesn't know how it happened again today.

From the time Lin Zhi saw Xu Rui, whose face was blue with cold, in front of Xu Rui's father's grave a year ago, and later on when Xu Rui became a wooden man who couldn't eat, drink, cry, and have no emotions, he understood one thing.

He couldn't treat Xu Rui the way he treated his previous toys, dismantling and assembling them casually, like cutting off the limbs of a cotton doll, or tearing off the petals of a flower.

If he wanted Xu Rui's long-term company, he had to become a protector.

Because Xu Rui couldn't be tamed by intimidation, threats and shocks, he would just shatter into pieces.

When he was able to start to be afraid when he heard Lin Zhi's footsteps, the strange and cruel methods in Lin Zhi's mind could no longer be revealed.

He will use some tender means to deepen Xu Rui's dependence on him and achieve the goal of control.

The effect of this method is obvious.

But in the darkness like this now, Lin Zhi, who just woke up from sleep and was a little sleepy and impatient, didn't want to put any warm expression on his face.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Lin Zhi asked softly, patted Xu Rui's trembling back with his hand, and said comfortingly: "Good night, I hope you will never have nightmares again."

He spoke in the softest tone in the dark, but his face was cold and expressionless, that kind of strange sense of disobedience made people feel chills.

But Xu Rui couldn't see it. When there was another thunder, his body jumped up suddenly, and he stretched out his arms to wrap around Lin Zhi's neck.

Lin Zhi couldn't help frowning, why didn't Xu Rui feel scared when it rained and thundered so many times before, and felt a little dissatisfied that Xu Rui became more and more squeamish, but with the question "Afraid of thunder?" He raised his hands to cover Xu Rui's ears.

Lin Zhi's palms were dry and warm, and he covered Xu Rui's ears to block the sound of thunder, which gave Xu Rui a great sense of security.

This made Xu Rui unable to hold back, and put his arms around Lin Zhi's cheek and leaned against it twice.

He didn't even do such a blatantly intimate act of acting like a spoiled child to Aunt Wu, only to his father when he was very young.

Lin Zhi's expression was blank for a moment, and then his frown tightened again, and he opened his mouth: "You..." He just uttered a word, then suddenly stopped, and gradually tightened his mouth lips.

He seemed to want to criticize Xu Rui, who was timid and introverted, but he didn't really want to hurt Xu Rui.

The heartbroken Xu Rui would never do such a thing again.

After a pause for a while, Lin Zhi seemed to have finally organized his words, and said to Xu Rui: "Rui Rui! You are so cute!"

The tone is a bit like criticism but not so like, it seems that there is a bit of complaint in it that can't be said.

After Lin Zhi finished speaking, he heard the loud sound of rain outside, and he covered Xu Rui's ears, guessing that Xu Rui might not have heard it.

So, he slightly raised a gap in the palm covering Xu Rui's ears, moved closer and said again: "Rui Rui! You are so cute."

It seemed that Xu Rui had to hear it.

But in fact, at this time, the thunder outside also stopped, and Xu Rui fell asleep again.
