This is Yu Xia's second birthday.
He doesn't remember when his first birthday was, but it was probably when he was in sixth grade.
He had a friend in elementary school, who was more of a "troublemaker" than a friend. But after they were in the same class, they started to communicate and interact.
I just remember that the boy was a little taller than him.
He was the same. He only learned the date some time before Yu Xia's birthday and was busy preparing.
I remember that at that time, the child didn’t have much pocket money, but he still scraped together the price of a small cupcake.
Ms. Liao Shengnan has never celebrated Yu Xia's birthday
Not really, it’s just that there’s no sense of ceremony.
"What surprises do boys need? They know they've grown up, so they should contribute more to the family."
This sentence was said to Xiao Yuxia, but it also seemed to be said to Ms. Liao Shengnan herself.
She also wanted to celebrate her son's birthday. Yu Xia's birthday was not on a holiday, and it was rarely during the holidays.
Ms. Liao Shengnan finally had some time, and every time she came back on time, she would arrive at the end of her birthday.
At around 12 o'clock, I pushed open the small wooden door in the corridor across the room.
Because the light was too dim, I couldn't see the structure of the house clearly. I could only vaguely see a small bed with a sleeping boy lying on it.
She walked in to see him, and tiptoed to cover him with the quilt. But in the blink of an eye, she met those dark eyes again - he was not asleep.
Because she did not subconsciously notice whether his eyes were open, when Ms. Liao Shengnan met that lonely look in her eyes, no matter how reluctant she was, she pretended not to see it.
After Yu Xia recalled the past, his eyes were dull for a moment.
As the hands ticked by, the boy finally recovered from his shock and took a step back, not daring to face it.
Xu An hurriedly lit the candles on the cake.
"My little deskmate, make a wish!"
"Ah? Ah...ah" The boy also blew out the candle with a strange and nervous mood.
Yu Xia doesn't like cream, so Xu An scooped out the cake with a small spoon and watched Yu Xia open the gift.
If I had known he didn’t like it, I would have bought another one. Why do so many people not like cream?
The wind blew outside the window, gently blowing the boy's hair. His fingertips brushed the edge of the box, and he was flattered.
Apart from anything else, the reason why Xu An had to arrange it on the spot and buy it on the spot was because he spent too much time preparing for this gift in the early stage.
It was a box carved piece by piece from a piece of mahogany. The pattern was not complicated, even a little too simple.
There are many rough areas, which are obviously not professional work. But it can also be proved that they are artificial.
"How do I open this?" Yu Xia studied it for a while. Even though his hands were moving non-stop, he still had to ask unnecessarily.
After a "click", the square little box was opened.
Xu An moved closer to Xiao Yu with some uneasiness, observing his eyes.
It was a piece of white jade.
It was pure white, shaped into a circle, and strung with a black rope containing another small bead of unknown material.
It is the most essential white that has been drained of all juice, all color, and all softness. It is the skeleton of time.
jade pendant
What’s different from the previous peace lockets is that the hole in the middle of the one in Yu Xia’s hand is a little bigger, unlike the other ones that have a thin hole for the rope to pass through.
Yu Xia pursed her lips and said nothing.
Just when Xu An was giving up on himself and thinking that Xiao Yu didn't like him, he finally glanced to the side and saw the boy's earlobe which was already red and bleeding.
Caught off guard
Falling into the arms of a young man
"Xu An...?" Yu Xia's voice was still trembling as he had just recovered from the shock.
Xu An quietly changed the subject. He had just given her a gentle hug. Boys can hug each other? That should be okay, right?
That’s not right, anyone can be hugged!!
Why couldn't he react subconsciously just now?
"Do you like it?"
The person behind seemed to react immediately and stepped back suddenly.
"Yeah," he said, as if he was afraid it would be misunderstood as perfunctory, and hurriedly added, "I like it."
"Do you like this thing very much, or do you like this gift very much?" Xu An, who was 1.83 meters tall, was about 8 centimeters taller than Yu Xia. He leaned his body slightly to one side, keeping his eyes level with Yu Xia, and asked in a frivolous tone.
It was because of this joke that the atmosphere that shouldn't have appeared was broken.
"Isn't it all the same?"
"How are they the same? Even the concepts are different!" Xu An retorted.
The two of them played around for a while, and then Xu An helped Yu Xia put on the peace locket.
Bai Yu lay in the black shirt, making the collarbone inside more obvious.
"nice"
Fortunately, the things on the floor were not difficult to clean up, otherwise Yu Xia would have really picked up a knife and killed his deskmate.
When the two came out, it was time to gather and go back to school.
"cell phone."
"?" Xu An was in a daze.
"Didn't you take it? Give it back to me." Yu Xia looked at him like a fool.
"Huh? Xiao Yu knows that it was me who took it?!" Then what a bullshit act I'm putting on. It makes me keep changing the subject.
"If you hadn't taken it, there's no way I would have been following you all this time."
“…”
From then on, it seemed like I had a clue about what to do.
The two people were closer to the meeting point and walked over slowly.
"Student Xiao Yu."
"Hmm?" Yu Xia was replying to the message.
"You didn't make a wish!" Xu An put his face close and looked into his eyes seriously.
I blew out the candles almost the next second. Did you make a wish?
Yu Xia was startled by this inexplicable force.
"It's okay."
"This is obviously a huge matter!"
How could he be so childish... I really can't stand it. Yu Xia felt his idiocy kicking in again.
"Don't make me slap you."
The boy quickly shut his mouth.
The two of them slowly walked towards the rooted group. It was only then that they realized something was amiss.
Basically everyone was surrounding one person, forming a circle with three layers inside and three layers outside.
Why does that person look so familiar?
Hiss, squad leader Liu Ning?
"What's wrong?" Xu An especially likes to join in the fun. As soon as he said something, he suddenly heard:
"Yu Xia is here."
…
Yu Xia: “? Why did you suddenly cue me?”
Before Zhou Yanxu had finished comforting her, he came over to explain, "I don't know which idiot told you that you particularly hate this kind of fussy and childish behavior."
Yu Xia's face was full of black lines.
Zhou Yanxu saw that the two people probably saw it later, so he kindly explained: "Our class monitor, you are really worried about this time."
He spoke very vividly.
The general content is that when Liu Ning went to the meeting, she suddenly received a call from her deskmate Yan Jingyi's mother.
She hoped Liu Ning could help bring the homework for the past two weeks to the hospital.
Upon asking, I found out that Yan Jingyi colluded with Lin Zhao to prevent Liu Ning from knowing that something "little" had happened to Yan Jingyi in order to prevent her from worrying.
But the truth will eventually come out, and Yan Jingyi will have to go back to Hengshui to attend classes one day.
Her right calf was broken.
Comminuted fracture, driver fled.
amputation
A large truck ran over my calf.
It looks like she has a prosthetic limb installed on it, but Yan Jingyi has not learned how to walk on the ground.
Her own mental state is also endangered.
I locked myself in the ward for the first two months and refused to see anyone except a doctor.
It was during this period that I agreed to have someone to look after me.
Yan Jingyi's mother was afraid that she would not be able to catch up with the progress after returning to school after recovery, so she made an exception and told others.
Liu Ning was stunned for a long time after knowing this. When someone shook her shoulders, she simply slid down and sat down.
It seems like I don’t have the strength to stand up.
After a while, the crowd, which had been quite noisy just a moment ago, fell silent. However, one boy stood out and became unusually noisy. "Is it really that serious? It wasn't like she fell down on her own."
"Who the hell are you? What the hell is your business?!" Zhou Yanxu frowned immediately.
I don't know which class that boy is from, but he's been muttering quietly since the beginning. Zhou Yanxu had already asked the crowd to be noisier and carry that voice over, so singling him out now is really...
God, you didn't bless me today.
"Who are you scolding? I can say whatever I want, and you have no right to interfere."
"Why can't I control it?"
"You really can't control it. What's wrong? That girl is your girlfriend?"
Yu Xia's expression also turned unhappy, starting from the word "woman".
"Who said so? Did she provoke you?" Zhou Yanxu threw his arms around and started to curse at the boy.
"I just can't stand seeing women cry, okay? I do whatever I want, why are you so troublesome? You don't have to listen if you don't want to. No one is forcing you to listen."
"No? Then aren't you speaking so loudly just for others to hear?"
"Is what I said wrong? What's wrong? She's not disabled by her legs. I really don't understand what you're so angry about."
Yu Xia glanced at the person standing behind him, and without even turning around, asked directly, "Did he say anything else just now?"
Xu An didn't know who came back with him, so he just casually took a photo of a classmate next to him.
The man looked at Xu An and spoke for him, "The one who just started cursing, right? He cursed even dirtier than this, saying that the girl in your class deserved to be hit by a car."
"Why?" Yu Xia was puzzled.
"You're new in class! I know you. You got first place in the monthly exam." The classmate next to him suddenly noticed Yu Xia and almost changed the subject.
"Well, first tell me why, he said she deserved it?"
"Oh... then you probably don't know."
"What don't you know?"
Xu An leaned behind him and suddenly said, "In the first year of high school, that boy pursued Yan Jingyi. The girl didn't agree, so he spread rumors that she was not clean."
What? ? ?
"You just found out, right? You know the guy you were talking to just now, Xu An! He's the second in the grade that you beat! Oh, no, you two are in the same class..."
More than just knowing each other, we are quite familiar with each other.
Xu An probably suddenly thought of it and raised his eyebrows at Yu Xia.
"Ange got a zero on math on his first semester final exam in high school because of this."
What math score of 0?
"ah?"
"There was a fight. Ang went and beat that guy up when he started spreading rumors. He didn't even take the math test."
Xu An? Can he fight?
Yu Xia had just briefly received this information when she clearly heard the voice of the boy they had just talked about.
"You're such a bitch! What's wrong? You said I was wrong? Maybe it was because we went to that hotel that we were driven away—"
A fist slammed into the man's face.
"Fuck, who the hell are you?" The man looked up and saw that he didn't recognize him at all, so he waved his hand and wanted to fight back.
Yu Xia didn't dodge at all. When he raised his hand, she kicked him in the waist.
The man felt the pain and almost fell to his knees. He probably just realized what was happening, and there wasn't a single good word coming out of his mouth.
"Oh my god! Who are you? Do I know you?"
Xu An kicked the man on the back just in time when he stood up.
Yu Xia suddenly felt that there was something wrong with his previous questioning of Xu An.
This guy actually knows how to fight.
"You two against one, do you have any shame?"
"You deserve it. You deserve no one to help you." Xu An kicked him on the knee again.
Liu Ning was stunned, her tears still wet as she stood up. "What are you guys standing there for? Either block it or move it away!"
Some clueless person asked, "Why?"
"You want to deduct points from the class, right?"
However, they still did not block or stop them. The teacher had already driven over after the farce started.
Yu Xia hit him hard, but it was just a few punches and the boy didn't get hurt.
"Which class is that guy from? What's his name?"
He asked casually.
"Chen Yanhao, I forgot which class he was in, it's not that important." Xu An briefly recalled.
…
On the bus back to school, the atmosphere in the class was very tense, leaving the teacher and several instructors at a loss for words.
Yu Xia leaned against the windowsill and thought for a while about Yan Jingyi, whom she had hardly met many times.
But the wind outside was so comfortable that I fell asleep while thinking about it.
…
Xu An watched Xiao Yu's head slide down from the back of the chair, and fearing that he would not sleep well, he reached out and pulled him onto his shoulder.
But what was particularly embarrassing was that although no one said anything, a small number of people still stood at the hospital entrance.
Yu Xia: “…”
Xu An: Smiling.
Zhou Yanxu: "Wow, our class has the ability to read minds?"
"Go to hell." Yu Xia cursed and was the first to walk inside.
There were a lot of people crowded outside the small ward.
The originally dead atmosphere of the hospital was also overwhelmed by the students in Class 1.
It was already around 7pm when Yan Jingyi opened the door. There was nothing she could do; her friends were too persistent.
If I don't open the door, I'm really afraid that they will stay outside the hospital.
17-year-old boys are really hard to break
"It's so noisy." Just when the team was about to pull Yu Xia over to comfort her, the door of Yan Jingyi's ward opened.
Almost hit it.
Just now they were still chattering about how to avoid the topic, how to start another topic, piles and piles of them, like instruction manuals.
And now the sound is gradually getting weaker.
She rarely talked to the handsome new boy in the class, so she was quite surprised that he would follow her.
"Well, hello." Yu Xia started and then retreated immediately.
By the time Yan Jingyi reacted, they had already reached the last circle of the crowd.
"Jingyi...are you okay?" Liu Ning almost knocked Yan Jingyi to the ground with one step.
"Yeah, it's okay." I originally thought that I couldn't face these classmates, but after the door opened, it seemed as if I was back to my previous life.
She was leaning on the side, and the bed was quite close to the door. She must have leaned out just now, opening the door most of the way.
Liu Ning stepped forward and pushed her back onto the hospital bed, telling her to take good care of her injuries. The moment he picked her up, the whole bed tilted.
What amazing strength!
A group of people gathered together like a bunch of chickens around rice.
Telling the "unbelievable gossip", "outrageous study tour" and "the monthly exam grade ranking that shocked the whole school" that Yan Jingyi did not hear because of her hospitalization
No one mentioned fighting.
However, when talking about the monthly exam grade rankings, Zhou Yanxu even winked at Yu Xia.
"Xia-ge is simply inhuman! He got almost full marks in science!"
"Wow, that's amazing. Hey? Brother An didn't do well in the science exam this time?" Yan Jingyi remembered that Xu An was also good at science.
"Hey! Just hint at your brother. Let me tell you, he had a bit of a meltdown on the exam. It would be bad if he gets upset and angry."
"I'm still here..." Xu An took the hint and didn't want it to be too obvious.
"So, Brother An, why didn't you do well in the exam this time?" Yan Jingyi was in much better condition than before.
He controls the points!!!
"Nothing." Xu An smiled gently.
"Just keep pretending." Yu Xia leaned on the railing of the hospital bed, with his back to Yan Jingyi, and looked at his brother.
Received a message on the phone
A: My deskmate shouldn’t be so deceiving!
A: Besides, even if the points are deducted, it's not that much. Oh, don't you think this is the best of both worlds?
A: If my mom knew about this, I probably wouldn’t be able to go to class tomorrow. I’d probably have my legs broken by her.
Also included are a few crying face emoticons
! : Best of both worlds bullshit
! : I really want to strangle you to death
