autumn evening
Xu An ran madly with the medicine in his hand, and the plastic bag rustled as he swung it. In short, it was uncomfortable to carry it.
There was a pharmacy on the outer street of Baihua Lane. Xu An was riding his bicycle and turned into the corner of the lane when he was hit by a stone.
The bicycle was heavy, and gravity pushed it, causing it to fall and scratch Xu An's arm.
He didn't care and just ran away.
It was unknown how much time had passed, but when Xu An came back, he almost went into the wrong door of Yu Xia's house.
The wood remained stable and did not move.
He stood at the door and took a deep breath.
The door was closed. Xu An forgot whether he closed the door when he came out, so he knocked on the door carefully.
No one is driving.
He was stunned, and the strength and speed of his hands increased.
Still no one opened it.
The door seemed dead and there was no sign of it.
The wind stopped, and the trees stopped moving as well, perhaps because they didn't like the rustling sound of themselves swaying.
On Xu An's side, time seemed to have stopped.
Xu An took the phone from his pocket and put it in his palm.
Xu An: Where are you?
〖The other party is not your friend, click to add friend〗
Xu An looked at the system notification bar that popped up, and his body seemed to be frozen.
As if he didn't believe it but didn't give up, he sent another message.
Xu An:?
〖The other party is not your friend, click to add friend〗
In an instant, a corner of his world was pried open. Someone broke it into pieces, and the fact that had allowed him to get away with it for so long was shattered beyond measure.
He didn't want to see the fog clear at all.
The boy stood there for a long time, until a woman next door came to call him.
"Kid? Why are you standing there for so long ignoring me?"
The woman's voice was gentle, the kind that made people let down their guard.
Xu An looked up at her and asked after a long moment, "Hello, where is their family?"
"This family?"
"Um."
"He just left. I saw it when I was collecting clothes."
"…Is his mother here?"
"Yeah, two of them together, do you have something to do with them?"
"No more." Xu An heard himself say this.
No, Xu An, why are you looking for him?
What can you do? Watch Yu Xia mess herself up because of you, just for someone like you?
Xu An was standing at the door of Yu Xia's house reading a book.
He still has to review the materials today, but he doesn't want to go back at all.
Let’s do it here. If Xiao Yu wants to come back, he can let Yu Xia review math first.
Xiao Yu likes to eat while doing math papers. It seems that his snack library is empty. Xu An remembers that there is still some in the room opposite him.
But don't let Xiao Yu go in, let him get it for him. Xiao Yu would be disgusted if he knew that there were photos of himself posted in his room.
Can we kiss after reviewing? Xiaoyu seems to be less resistant recently. But is he right to resist? If Xiaoyu is disgusted, then he doesn't have to leave.
…
The cell phone was out of battery from making calls, and Xu An even called Xu Yanxing.
"Hello?"
"mom."
Xu Yanxing waited for this long-overdue call for a long time.
"An An."
"I... um, it's me. Did Yu Xia come to see you? Did he come to the hospital?"
"Yu Xia? No, what happened to him? Did something happen? He didn't come to see me. Isn't his follow-up appointment not here yet? An An, you—"
"fine."
Xu An didn't want to tell others that Yu Xia should have left Hengshui.
In fact, Yu Xia was indeed on the plane.
The boy's coat was an off-white sweater, and his expression was indifferent, as if one color covered everything.
He glanced at the scenery outside the window and always felt that the colors outside were not beautiful, not as beautiful as Xu An's paintings.
He was in a daze for a long time, and only came back to his senses when he saw Ms. Liao Shengnan's gaze.
"What's wrong?"
"Xiao Yu," Ms. Liao Shengnan held it in for a long time. Seeing Yu Xia's expression, it was really inappropriate to ask, so she kept silent. "Are you okay?"
Yu Xia looked at her for a moment, then lowered his gaze to the floor. His voice remained the same as before, but it seemed even colder.
"not good."
…
"Does it hurt?"
Yu Xia neither nodded nor denied it.
"Doctor Xu sent a message before boarding the plane. Xu... he should have said, you..."
Ms. Liao Shengnan did not continue speaking. She saw Yu Xia closing her eyes as if she was asleep.
Let him sleep.
He seemed to have not slept for too long.
The hospital was a bit noisy, and Dr. Xu didn't receive a reply from Ms. Liao Shengnan for a long time.
"mom."
The woman took the time to look up. The brat who had previously said he would not come was standing very conspicuous in her office.
"Have you contacted him?" She turned to ask the colleague who was helping her.
“…The landlord said he just gave up the lease.”
Xu Yanxing's typing hand paused for a moment, and she felt that the boy who had just been standing in the room had walked out.
"Your son..."
"I know. Go ahead and do your thing. I'll contact his mother."
"You probably can't get in touch for a while."
"His mother can do it. She's also a doctor. I know she wouldn't do anything rash."
…
Xu An didn't go home.
He didn't know where he was going.
When he reached Birch Lane, he realized he didn't seem to have eaten breakfast or lunch.
The afternoon sun was really dazzling, but the young man that the light once favored had nothing left.
Xu An found a random stall and took out his cell phone again.
Xu An: Teacher Xiao.
Xiao Yi, head teacher of Class 1: Oh, why are you trying to be a good student today?
Xu An: “…”
Xu An: Has Yu Xia contacted you?
Xiao Yi, the head teacher of Class 1: No, what happened to him?
Xu An: It’s okay.
Xu An held the screen without swiping away. If Yu Xia was still in contact with the people around him, he might know a little bit.
Xu An didn't want to know everything, he just wanted to ask Yu Xia - did you miss me when you left?
Where have you been, Yu Xia?
Do you still hate me? If I don’t like you, that’s fine.
Xu An held the phone in his hand. The phone was so small that it seemed like it could be crushed between his fingers.
The stall owner brought a bowl of noodles and handed him a pair of chopsticks. "Student, what's wrong with your noodles? Did you have that expression because you had an argument with your family?"
Xu An was silent for a very long time. He had been a little slow all day, which made his boss a little embarrassed.
When the boss was about to stop talking to this well-behaved yet strange-looking kid, he heard someone else reply.
"No, I'm in a cold war with my partner."
The boss wanted to make a joke, but when he turned around, he saw that the person was no longer sitting at the seat, and there was a bowl of noodle money on the plastic stool.
…
Yu Xia hadn't come to class for a week, and Zhou Yanxu and the others finally couldn't wait any longer and wanted to ask Xu An, but seeing that their brother An was probably an insider, he would definitely not say anything.
When Liu Ning pulled her deskmate to ask, Zhou Yanxu went over without caring whether it was awkward or not.
Several people surrounded Xiao Yi and interrogated him as if they wanted to tear down the office.
"Boss, Yu Xia is our classmate and good brother. You can't just send us away like this."
Zhou Yanxu's constant pestering was the most annoying, and with Liu Ning getting involved, Xiao Yi didn't look at them. He was grading their pairs team papers from the previous week.
"He transferred to another school."
"What???" Zhou Yanxu had thought of a bunch of dirty tricks but they were useless.
"Yu Xia transferred to another school? Didn't he just transfer here?" Liu Ning asked.
Zhou Yanxu, on the other hand, didn't say much. He stared at the water dispenser in Xiao Yi's office in a daze.
…
"Xu An! I just want to ask if it's true. The boss said Yu Xia transferred away? How is that possible?" Liu Ning held her test paper with a confused look on her face and asked Xu An a fake question.
"Is this question on your test paper?"
"No, Xu..." Liu Ning was about to say something when Zhou Yanxu asked, "You don't even know this question?"
"I will! I just..."
"I can solve it much faster than you."
"How is that possible?? Show me yours."
Xu An looked at Zhou Yanxu. After a while, his eyes seemed to be uncomfortable, so he raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his eyes.
…
Zhou Yanxu breathed a sigh of relief as he watched his brother leave through the back door.
His headache memories,
During the evening study session when their class watched a movie, a rare occasion in a century, he was eager to find Xu An to discuss whether this was the first time they were showing this movie, and then he saw the usually quiet top student in their class smiling at his brother An.
This is a big red movie, not a comedy and it doesn't have a plot. Zhou Yanxu was just about to marvel at how a top student is a top student, and that even when watching a movie, one can see different feelings of the author.
Then he was a little overwhelmed with amazement.
He was just casually looking at it, and was shocked when he wanted to take a closer look. Then he saw his brother move closer and quickly kiss the corner of his cold deskmate's mouth.
Yu Xiaxiao was stopped too quickly and cursed in a low voice with a little anger.
But he still looked at Xu An, and the indifference and usual icy look in his eyes disappeared.
Zhou Yanxu didn't know what Yu Xia was scolding, but he knew the relationship between Xu An and Yu Xia very well.
Zhou Yanxu turned his head stiffly and decided to pretend he didn't see it.
It was the first time he saw Yu Xia smile because he was in a good mood. Normally, they would just mock or roll their eyes at such a cold-hearted Xia.
Then Zhou Yanxu's opinion of Yu Xia changed a little.
After that, Zhou Yanxu intentionally or unintentionally stayed away from the time when the three of them needed to be together.
Xu An continued to take exams in the following days, and the students in Class 1 seemed to gradually forget that a new student had come to their class briefly and then transferred away.
Yan Jingyi and he took two exams in the same team.
During their second team-up, Xu An put down his cell phone, which he never let go of recently. Yan Jingyi noticed that he had something to say, so she stopped and waited.
"Are you talking to the squad leader?"
Yan Jingyi shook the book she was holding loosely and looked up at Xu An. "No, I'm catching up."
"Does she know?"
The girl shook her head.
"If you're any later, she won't be able to wait for you."
"Are you talking to me or you?"
"?"
"Yu Xia's card must have been changed, and I can't get through to him on the phone. I guess you wanted to ask me this when you chased me out the back door that day."
Mo Lemo, Xu An nodded.
Liu Hangzhou was a member of the same group that Zhou Yanxu and Xu An used to play with. He couldn't get any of his friends together recently, so he called Zhou Yanxu out with the theory that "I'm going to die anyway, so the worst that can happen is that I lose face before dying."
As a result, the class was so busy that no one paid any attention to him and everyone stayed in the classroom.
Liu Hangzhou: “…”
In fact, there was one person in Class 1 who did not live in the classroom.
Class 1 didn't even see Xu An until the final exam.
It seemed like Xu An's high school was intercepted. He went back and forth, but waited for nothing.
