Good Guy Card
The last syllable fell.
Meng Qian was used to the cheers from the audience and should have left the stage immediately, but something suddenly moved her and she turned to look at the corner.
Our eyes met in the air, no words were needed, the expression in the eyes was the best answer.
“Wow!”
Xiao Xiaoyu frantically pressed the shortcut keys: "What's going on with these two? They even made eye contact, but why is it so pleasing to the eye!"
“Ahhhh—”
There was constant cheering from the audience, and behind the curtain on the stage, there was a lot of activity.
"Clothes." Gao Liyang just found Zhou Xi and wanted to return the clothes to her, but he was pushed and ran away.
"clothing!"
"Wait a moment……"
The next program has begun, and the sonorous reading fills the entire venue.
Gao Liyang's steps in pursuit were blocked by volunteers who were moving things. He barely squeezed through and turned a corner. The voice-controlled lights in the corridor came on.
Gao Liyang frowned and stood at the door of the toilet holding his clothes. He could hear the sound of water splashing and bursts of vomiting from inside.
Zhou Xi leaned against the wall, glancing at the mirror covered in dust and water stains, feeling disgusted and nauseous.
The tied hair was pulled down and became a mess. The white camellia hairband was wrapped around the wrist, with a few deformed hairs entangled on it.
Xiao Xiaoyu specially matched the hairband, and she said it suits her very well.
"Are you okay? If you're not feeling well, do you want to go..."
Zhou Xi saw Gao Liyang hurriedly putting clothes on her.
"Why?"
Gao Liyang saw Zhou Xi's lips trembling, and for the first time he saw unconcealed emotions in her eyes.
Gao Liyang didn't respond for a moment and grabbed Zhou Xi's scarf.
"I was on stage and couldn't hear anything. I was just relying on muscle feeling and was sweating profusely."
Zhou Xi leaned weakly against the wall, but his eyes were fixed on Gao Liyang.
Now she hates seeing anyone, wants to vent, is inexplicably irritable, and can't control her emotions.
"Why?"
"Didn't I ask you to wait a moment?" It was really cold. Zhou Xi put her hands into her sleeves, and the warmth made her feel numb.
Gao Liyang didn't ask Zhou Xi why. He sighed and seemed to let himself go: "I'm worried about you."
"You think you've hidden it so well, don't you?" Gao Liyang put Zhou Xi's scarf around her and took out the hair stuck in it.
"You are such a good person." Zhou Xi gave out good guy cards.
Gao Liyang raised his eyelids and stared at a certain big cat: "You are also a good person."
Another good guy card added.
…
So embarrassing.
Zhou Xi gave up looking at her, warm liquid slipped from the corners of his eyes, and he lowered his head.
She heard something in her heart burst open, and the culprit was still helping her adjust her scarf.
What a crappy scarf! Just wrap it around your head left and right. Why are you wasting so much time? Is it fun?
Zhou Xi frowned, lowered his eyes and stared quietly at the beautiful pair of hands.
"Zhou Xiaoxi, don't be sad. If you don't want to play, then don't play. Do you want to be an idiot? Why force yourself?" Gao Liyang leaned against the wall side by side with her, and the lights in the corridor went out.
"oh."
“It’s snowing.”
Gao Liyang walked straight to the door.
Large flakes of snow began to fall from the sky. They were carried by the wind, swaying in the air, and finally lay silently on the ground.
The flying snow fell on his hair and clothes. Gao Liyang reached out and caught the first snow of this year.
"Look, the snow is coming."
Zhou Xi stepped into the snow, snowflakes rustled everywhere, and his hair turned white in an instant.
She looked up and saw the dark sky, the howling wind, and the dry and quiet snow.
Zhou Xi sniffed his red nose, his eyelashes stuck together by tears.
"Are you feeling better?"
"ah?"
"I said you just vomited, are you feeling better now? Are you out of your mind?"
"It's okay, you won't die." Zhou Xi kicked Gao Liyang.
“Fuck—”
“What are you doing!”
"My feet are itchy, what's wrong?" Zhou Xi tilted his head back, with half-frozen tears at the corners of his eyes.
"You, you're always bullying at home..."
Gao Liyang thought Zhou Xite was like his little bully. He would cry and whine when bullied by the cats and dogs in the same village, and then come back to destroy the house, overturning all the cat food and scattering it everywhere.
He carefully applied medicine to it and said a few words: "Don't be a bully in your own nest."
Then it started scratching him so fiercely that he wanted to kick it out of the house, but the cat's face was so beautiful that he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Gao Liyang and Zhou Xi were getting wet in the first snow. The sudden silence was a little scary, and he felt itchy in his heart.
Eyes can speak, he saw all of Zhou Xi's emotions, but he was not that great. He should have known not to look at her. Now, it's so embarrassing.
"Zhou Xiaoxi, you are a white camellia and a red rose."
"Oh, you want to crossbreed?"
Gao Liyang: “…”
Gao Liyang's eyes are so sharp that they can chop bones. Is there something wrong with Zhou Xi's brain? He has such an authoritative face for nothing. What the hell is this hybridization? Where does it come from? One blooms in spring and summer, the other blooms in winter, and the pollination goes to outer space 180,000 meters away.
No, he is sick. It's several degrees below zero, why should he accompany her in the snow? His heart is freezing.
Forget it, let’s not bother with her. Gao Liyang resigned himself to giving tonight’s results to Zhou Xi.
"Why are you pulling me?"
"Look at your phone."
Zhou Xi finally reached for his phone and after reading what Gao Liyang sent, he successfully hardened his fists.
“So ugly.”
"What? What are you talking about? I don't understand. Ugly, is it because I took the ugly photo, or do you think you are ugly?!"
Gao Liyang didn't believe it. He took this photo specially behind the curtain. The angle was unique. Is it ugly?
"I'm not ugly, it's the photos you take that look ugly." Zhou Xi slowly saved each photo and held up his phone. "From this angle, I look like a big-headed doll. Do you think it's a good photo?"
"Isn't it pretty? How can it be big? I even zoomed in on it to avoid anyone else from being in the frame. Don't you get it?"
Zhou Xi: “…”
"Why don't you go and study some more before you come and argue with me."
Gao Liyang shook his head, and the snow on his head flew away: "Hey, don't try to hit on me, I don't want to be your disciple."
Zhou Xi's mouth twitched: "I'm not going to accept you as my apprentice yet. I'd be embarrassed to tell anyone."
"Then I'm really guilty, but I'll take pictures, I'll take pictures, especially of you!"
—
The heating in the dormitory had long since dissipated. Zhou Xi stood at the door. The sightseeing lights in the corridor outside illuminated the inside. She was at the innermost part and was perfectly blocked, as if the dormitory was empty.
Turning on the light, she put her things on the first empty bunk by the door and found the air conditioner remote control.
"drop!"
“Ding ding ding!”
The air conditioner was rumbling, but the heat was not coming out.
"hehe."
She even bullies a broken air conditioner. The air conditioners in this stupid school are all junk. They look shiny, but they are actually rotten inside.
“Cough cough cough!”
Zhou Xi found the medicine in the drawer and took it with the cold water in the cup on the table.
The iron key was placed in the large drawer in the middle.
The phone was just turned on and the messages were jammed all over the screen.
I found the group of 猹 that had joined the Do Not Disturb group and wanted to read the comments on their show.
The message at the bottom made her pause.
[Have you heard? Someone in our grade just got into a car accident!]
What?
【Car accident! 】
[Is everyone okay? Who is it?]
[Looks like they're from Class 12...]
Zhou Xi's expression tightened, and his finger slid down Class 12.
Several messages came in every second, and no one mentioned their name. She waited for a moment, but was overshadowed by other topics. Zhou Xi exited the conversation, found Li Li in the class group, and clicked Add Friend.
Passed in seconds.
[Xueba, I'm flattered. What's the matter? ]
【I am at your service! 】
[I want to ask, in the group chat, you guys were talking about the car accident, do you know who it was? ]
[Call, seems to be Yao Yao]
Who are you talking about?
[Yao Yao, yes, that's her! ]
Zhou Xi heard his stomach growling, probably because the medicine was starting to be absorbed.
[I heard it was quite serious. It was snowing, the roads were slippery, and then a disabled car crashed into her house.]
[It was near the school, so someone saw it when they got home.]
【What's wrong? 】
"Oh, Sister Zhou, you and Meng Qian really gave our class monitor a hard time last night. Now a lot of people are asking me about you!"
Zhou Xi sat in the chair with his back hunched, frowning, feeling uncontrollably nauseous again. He pressed his stomach with one hand and exhaled gently.
[So beautiful, sisters, so awesome! ]
【Thanks. 】
【If there is any news about her later, can you tell me? 】
[Huh? Xueba, why are you so concerned? Are you a friend?]
[Yes, she is my friend.]
【OK】
Zhou Xi got the answer, threw his phone on the table, and ran to the balcony sink.
The snow was getting heavier, and the windows were covered with white. The cell phone on the table was ringing like crazy, as if venting its dissatisfaction with being left out.
The medicine was spit out, and the blue and white capsule outside had become blurred and was about to melt, just a little bit.
Zhou Xi wiped his mouth and had to use his card to get hot water from the water dispenser in the corridor.
In the middle of the corridor where the water dispenser is placed, a layer of snow is piled on the carved hollow wall windows, and the half-person-high tree forks outside are also covered with thick snow. Only the soil below, right next to the tree roots, is still yellow.
There is just one last dose of medicine left, and after I take it, the semester will be almost over.
This box of medicine was bought at the beginning of the school year, and she took it on and off for a whole semester. The whole box had 24 pills, and she took two pills at a time, 12 times. Her stomach became much worse.
“Ding ding!”
"drop!"
The machine made a sharp sound, Zhou Xi lowered his eyes, the balance was 0.00.
Haha, she cries to the sky and the earth but no one helps. Why should she still take medicine? If she doesn’t, she won’t believe it. She should have the control over her body. It’s just a minor stomachache, she won’t die, haha.
Zhou Xi let out a breath, still thinking that she hadn't been home for a long time. There was no accurate concept of time in high school. When to have vacation was decided by the school. Maybe because of an exam, the vacation was gone, or the vacation appeared out of thin air.
She heard from Xiao Xiaoyu that according to Yuxiu's previous practice, she would have to take make-up classes during the winter and summer vacations.
By the time I was in my third year of high school, the winter vacation was only a few days long.
"Cough cough! Cough cough cough!"
Gao Liyang covered himself tightly with the quilt, still feeling cold. He tucked a thermometer under his armpit and tried to listen to the ticking countdown, but Zhou Gong was pulling him hard, thinking he must be crazy.
Suddenly my phone vibrated, ding dong ding dong, and it kept ringing.
"The sound of nature."
Gao Liyang muttered to himself and lifted the quilt. A doll rolled down from the opposite bed. He was so dazzled that he had no strength to pick it up.
I walked barefoot on the carpet. The air conditioner was on in the bedroom, so the carpet was warm but my feet were cool.
The snow is falling heavily outside the window, as if it is going to drown the world. I don’t know when it will stop.
Gao Liyang took out a thin mercury thermometer from his armpit, but he felt dizzy and couldn't see clearly.
"Auspicious sign from heaven, the first day of the new year is a holiday, and I'm happy to get double vision."
He squinted his eyes, turned and turned, finally found the scale surface, looked and looked, and finally counted the degrees.
"Just because I got caught in the snow, you come and attack me, tsk!"
38.7℃, that’s great, I can take antipyretics and don’t need to get an injection.
Gao Liyang carefully put the mercury thermometer back into the packaging and rummaged through the medicine box, where he found some antipyretic medicine.
It was a small paper box, completely empty inside.
Waiting for death is impossible, and going out is also impossible. Best friends can be used to save lives at this time.
"Hello? Xiao, Xiao Xiaoyu, help, help, you're going to die..."
"Oh my god, who are you? Am I Yang? Why does my voice sound like a male? Where's my cool and handsome voice?"
"He can't come today. Please summon him in two days."
Xiao Xiaoyu put her cell phone on the ground, turned on the speakerphone, held the pencil between her fingers, and proudly held it with her little finger. However, she didn't know how to start writing, so she just spun it around in her hand.
"Then what's wrong with calling me? No one comes to me for no reason..."
"Do you have any medicine, fever-reducing medicine?"
Gao Liyang didn't have the strength to collapse back into bed. There was only an empty cup on the table, and the water had been drunk long ago.
"No, brother, you have a fever? Oh my god!" Xiao Xiaoyu accurately dropped her pen into the pen holder, found her slippers pressed down by the book, and wrapped herself in her coat, scarf, and hat. "Wait, your dad will be here soon!"
Xiao Xiaoyu hung up the phone, put the bag in her pocket, zipped up her jacket, and rushed out of the house, like a big, slowly moving dumpling in the heavy snow.
"bite!"
“Ding Ding!”
"Yangyang! Open the door! I'm coming!"
Xiao Xiaoyu was wearing gloves and her fingers were not flexible. She twisted her body and struggled for a long time but failed to press the doorbell. She almost broke out in a sweat.
"Come in." Gao Liyang opened the door, went to find the air conditioner remote control in the living room, threw it to Xiao Xiaoyu, and went to the kitchen to boil water.
"Wow, you didn't turn on the heat? It's so cold!"
"The bedroom is open, but here is closed, to save money."
Xiao Xiaoyu skillfully took out slippers from the shoe cabinet, changed into snow boots, and took off her scarf and gloves.
"medicine!"
"Wait a minute, boil some water."
Xiao Xiaoyu rubbed her red, frozen hands and typed slowly: "Are you touched? Wait, I called Lu Zisheng and he'll be here soon."
"I'm touched, very touched. If you don't come, I'll burn into a fool." Gao Liyang leaned against the tiled kitchen counter with a gloomy look.
"But why call him over? Why make such a big fuss?"
"You don't understand. Someone must be with you when you're so vulnerable. My dear baby, if you're touched, take your medicine quickly and go to sleep."
Xiao Xiaoyu rubbed her numb hands and said, "Wow, I'll go to your room for a while."
"oh."
As soon as the water boiled, Gao Liyang fell down and went into the room with the medicine.
"Wow, you're not polite at all. Could you please not touch my things?" Gao Liyang's tone was as cold as a machine. He lifted the quilt and sat on the bed, waiting for the water to reach the right temperature.
Xiao Xiaoyu held a fat rag doll under her arm and took something off the hook with her free hand: "When did you get this thing? A competition? Why does this look like Sister Zhou's?"
"Yeah, that's it. It's hers."
"That's not yours. Why are you so anxious? It won't be damaged. By the way, how come this medal is here with you?" Xiao Xiaoyu was holding the heavy medal with a look of curiosity.
"That brat Wen Jingrui, wasn't he in the piano competition? He licked people in exchange for it."
"As a result, this careless guy stuffed it under the quilt like a treasure and forgot about it the next day." Gao Liyang felt the water temperature and pressed a red and yellow capsule from the tinfoil plate.
"After returning home, he called me and asked me to give it to him when the time comes."
This little thing only knows how to use him as a tool.
Xiao Xiaoyu carefully put it back on as if it were her treasure: "Look at you, among all the various medals, there's not a single math medal. Are your eyes blinded by this?"
"Not that I'm blind, but I intend to keep this piece for myself."
"What the hell are you talking about? You're such a cunning fellow! I'll report you to Sister Zhou!" Xiao Xiaoyu closed the window. "You're asking for trouble, and you're still opening the window. You think the King of Hell isn't cruel enough, right? I'll take you away sooner or later!"
"It's just a bad habit you've been spoiled with. Okay, take the medicine and go to sleep. Your sister Yu will be watching over you outside."
"She doesn't care." Gao Liyang lay down, with only half of his head and half of his face showing, his hands placed peacefully on his stomach, waiting for the magical effect of the medicine.
Moreover, he reported it to Zhou Xi early in the morning, and Zhou Xi replied that as long as he didn't sell it, he could do whatever he wanted with it.
Gao Liyang suddenly took out his hand and clasped his fists: "Thank you for your hard work. I'll cook a meal to repay you."
Xiao Xiaoyu originally wanted to ask him why he kidnapped Zhou Xi last night and ran away so early, but when she thought about Gao Liyang, this show-off, she knew he would not be able to come up with anything good.
From this angle, she couldn't even see half of Gao Liyang's black head. A row of neatly arranged dolls above the bed had their eyes wide open, as if yelling at her.
If you keep on talking, I'll shoot you!
