Chapter 28 Mian Mian and the Scumbag
The midterm exam results came out, and Ji Mian ranked second.
His Chinese language wasn't his strong point, and he'd lost a lot of points on his composition, especially since the core theme of his composition was a celebration of fatherly love. Ji Mian had no fondness for Ji Weiguo; he only felt hatred and disgust for him.
After every exam at Zhennan Middle School, a red list would be posted on the bulletin board. On Friday after school, Ji Mian stood at the back of the crowd and tiptoed to look for Fu Chenyu's name, and sure enough, it was hanging high at the top of the list.
About forty names down, he saw his own name.
As expected, not bad.
"Jimian!"
As soon as he walked out of the notice board, He Xi put her arm around his shoulder and asked, "Are you free to go get some barbecue later?"
He Xi also got into Zhennan as an arts student and is now studying in Class Nine.
Ji Mian had known him since elementary school, and they went to the same junior high school and high school together. They could be considered friends, and he was his closest buddy besides Fu Chenyu.
He Xi: "Have you made an appointment with Fu Chenyu?"
Ji Mian shook his head: "He has a competition class this afternoon."
In fact, Ji Mian himself felt that after applying the medicine on him last time, Fu Chenyu had become a little distant from him recently.
The other party has been like this since junior high school, sometimes hot and sometimes cold. If Fu Chenyu's attitude towards him had not changed, Ji Mian would have suspected that the boss had already decided to kill him.
He Xi sighed, "Damn, he's a real academic genius. Let's go, I'll take you to that new barbecue restaurant and treat you."
Ji Mian didn't like greasy food very much, but since He Xi invited him so warmly, he didn't refuse.
After a few slices of barbecue, Ji Mian's stomach felt uncomfortable, and he spent the rest of the time chewing on lettuce. He Xi ate like a guzzler, and every time Ji Mian looked up, he could see his mouth was stuffed full. Sixteen-year-old boys are called animals at this age, eating without regard for their lives, wolfing down food in a flash.
Ji Mian couldn't help but secretly compare He Xi with Fu Chenyu. Fu Chenyu was very quiet when he ate. Although he ate in a very polite manner, he could finish a whole table of food without making any noise.
He Xi swallowed the last piece of barbecue, looked behind Ji Mian, and patted Ji Mian on the shoulder: "Hey, Ji Mian, Fu Chenyu!"
Ji Mian was stunned and turned to look. Through the glass window, across the street, Fu Chenyu was walking side by side with a tall girl.
He Xi: "Oh my god, something's wrong with the school hunk. Isn't that the most beautiful girl in their class? What's her name, Luo Lu?"
Ji Mian looked at it for two seconds and then came back to his senses, teasing in his heart:...Oh, you told me you were taking extra classes in the competition class, but it turned out you were here for a date with a girl.
Boss, you are not honest.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen other people in love?" Ji Mian complained. He took the last bite of lettuce and felt a dull pain in his stomach.
He Xi: "Tsk tsk tsk, I've never seen Fu Chenyu in a relationship. Have you ever seen that icy face of his show any kindness to a girl?"
Ji Mian thought to himself, how come Fu Chenyu doesn’t know how to fall in love? In “Stranger Tenderness”, his role is that of a paranoid and affectionate attacker!
He and He Xi split up at the bus stop. Only after they got on the bus did Ji Mian feel a severe stomachache.
I guess I ate too much meat just now and I feel dizzy.
He subconsciously picked up the phone and called Fu Chenyu, but the figures of Fu Chenyu and the girl appeared in front of him, and Ji Mian put down the phone again.
In the past, I could bother my best friend with any trivial matters, but now my best friend might, should, or perhaps is in a relationship...
He should stop being so rude. The grass on Ji Mian's grave, the last one who interfered with Fu Chenyu's relationship, is already three meters high...
Ji Mian's desire to survive made him decisively give up asking Fu Chenyu for help!
He was in so much pain that he fell asleep on the bus in a daze.
It was not until the terminal that Ji Mian woke up. It was already dark outside.
The terminus of bus No. 485 is the passenger transport center. Ji Mian has never been here before. When he got off the bus and saw the unfamiliar place, he felt a little unsure.
He held his stomach and walked around the passenger center, but couldn't find the pharmacy. After asking the security guard, he pointed him to a road two kilometers away from his location.
...Let's just forget it.
Just be patient and you will get home.
Ji Mian thought about it and finally decided to call Fu Chenyu.
It's been so long, the date should be over, right? Although the boss is precocious, he has a sense of propriety and will never take a girl to a hotel!
When he checked his pockets, they were empty.
“!”
Ji Mian's eyes widened slightly, and he had to admit the fact: he lost his phone.
Most likely, it was stolen while he was sleeping in the car. At the end of December, as the New Year approaches, there are more and more thieves.
Blame myself for being careless.
I just bought it not long ago... Ji Mian thought aimlessly.
It was an iPhone 4S, a phone worth several thousand yuan, which was given by Lin Minzhi as a reward for his admission to Zhennan. It was so special that he was not surprised for a while.
Ji Mian had to distract himself by using random thoughts to avoid focusing on the stomachache.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his stomach ached, and his thinking ability declined.
Ji Mian sat in the lobby and asked the store for a cup of hot water. He took a sip, preparing to wait for the next bus and then return the same way.
Half an hour later, when no bus came, he realized that he had just taken the last bus.
...I'm not that unlucky.
Ji Mian wanted to cry but had no tears.
hiss……
His stomach was also getting more and more painful. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he also felt a little dizzy.
He hadn't had a fever for two months since his last cold, but the flu had broken out in the class recently, and everyone got sick. He didn't open the windows for ventilation frequently in winter, so Ji Mian finally got infected.
Stomach pain and low fever came together, and Ji Mian leaned on a chair in the passenger center lobby and fell into a deep sleep.
He warned himself that he could only sleep for ten minutes, and kept analyzing in his mind:
There are security guards on both sides...
My most valuable cell phone has been stolen, so the only things in my backpack are my books, so they're safe...
I am a man, and you can't abduct me...
At worst, I'll beat him to death...
When Li Weishi got off the car, it was already completely dark.
He sent a message to Li Jue, asking him to cook something to eat at home and not to wait for him.
Su Luoyu moved back to Yang Chaoying's home when she was in high school. After so many years, Yang Chaoying finally cheered up and gritted his teeth to save up for a down payment on a house.
After experiencing such ups and downs in her life, she no longer had the arrogance and vanity of the past, and became silent and down-to-earth.
Now, only the two brothers live in Li Weishi's apartment in Tongcheng.
He closed his phone and was about to walk out of the hall when he was attracted by a figure in the hall.
The surroundings were empty, with only a young man wearing a Zhennan Middle School jacket, huddled on a stool pitifully, like an abandoned little rabbit.
He slept restlessly, his face flushed unnaturally. Li Weishi thought he looked familiar. Thinking carefully, wasn't this Su Su's junior high school classmate? His name was Ji Mian.
Li Weishi is a naturally kind-hearted, soft-hearted person who likes to meddle in other people's affairs.
The person lying on the chair was someone he knew, so Li Weishi couldn't just leave him alone.
He half-knelt down and saw the photo and name on Ji Mian's school badge, which further confirmed his identity.
Ji Mian was half asleep and half awake when he heard someone calling his name: "Ji Mian...Ji Mian..."
He opened his eyes with great effort, and Li Weishi's face was blurry in his eyes. But after seeing it clearly, the vigilance and alertness in Ji Mian's eyes suddenly reached the highest point.
He was so scared that he blurted out: "Li Jue..."
Li Weishi was stunned. How could Ji Mian know his own brother?
He touched his face and thought: I got myself wrong.
Although Li Weishi is almost ten years older than Li Jue, the two brothers' faces are 70% similar.
It’s just that Li Jue is flamboyant and handsome, Li Weishi is elegant and gentle, and Ji Mian only admitted his mistake now that he was not rational and Li Jue’s PTSD was too severe.
Li Weishi couldn't leave Ji Mian here alone, so he asked in a soft voice where Ji Mian's home was.
As a result, Ji Mian didn't know anything about anything he asked. She bit her lips tightly and didn't speak to him, as if she was on guard against him.
It’s just that Ji Mian’s condition was really bad. He stared at Li Weishi fiercely, like a vigilant rabbit.
It was so soft and not very intimidating, and I finally couldn't stand it and fell asleep.
Li Weishi sighed and wondered whether he should call Su Luoyu, as he should know Ji Mian better than he did.
However, the most urgent task is to settle Ji Mian down first.
When Li Jue saw Li Weishi's text message, he threw down his pen and went to the kitchen to make a bowl of plain noodles.
He was not a good cook, but in his previous life, Ji Mian took care of his daily life and cooked delicious meals. The young master lived a very comfortable life without having to do any housework.
After Ji Mian left, Li Jue realized that he had become accustomed to his presence.
Now, even when I make a bowl of plain noodles, I think of him.
The eldest young master certainly didn't want to eat this bowl of disgusting noodles. After preparing to leave it for his brother, he ordered a bunch of takeout for himself and went back to his room to play games.
Li Weishi came back, supported Ji Mian at the door and called out, "Xiao Jue, give me a hand, I brought someone back with me."
Li Jue was having so much fun playing the game that he ignored his brother and pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Li Weishi sighed and didn't expect to be able to order his brother around.
Li Weishi placed Ji Mian on the bed in the guest room, and he went to the medicine cabinet outside to find some common medicines.
Just now, I heard Ji Mian complaining about stomachache when he was confused, so I made him another cup of stomach medicine.
Li Weishi squatted down and placed the medicine on the bedside table: "Ji Mian, your stomach is uncomfortable. Get up and take the medicine before going to sleep."
After he finished speaking, he picked up his phone and called Su Luoyu.
"Beep—Hello, the number you dialed is currently busy..."
Fu Chenyu hung up the phone, his face gloomy.
If Ji Mian's phone was turned on at this moment, he would definitely see more than fifty missed calls.
This afternoon, the competition class teacher arranged for Luo Lu to go out and purchase props for the New Year's Day performance. Afraid that one girl could not carry it all, he also instructed Fu Chenyu to go with her.
After an afternoon of no contact, Ji Mian completely lost touch.
It was when Lin Minzhi called to ask him if Ji Mian was doing homework at his house that Fu Chenyu realized something was wrong.
Ji Mian didn't come home, and the phone was unreachable...
Fu Chenyu immediately put on a coat and ran out in a hurry, without even having time to eat dinner.
When the call reached He Xi, He Xi was surprised and said, "I don't know. We went to eat barbecue this afternoon, and then Ji Mian took the bus, the one he usually takes home. He hasn't come home yet?"
Fu Chenyu wanted to kill him, but he took Ji Mian to eat barbecue for no reason. Didn't he know that Ji Mian had a sensitive stomach and that eating barbecue would cause indigestion?!
Then he remembered that it was because he politely rejected Ji Mian that Ji Mian went to play with He Xi. His self-blame and irritability reached a peak in an instant.
Blame him.
It was his fault for having inappropriate feelings for Ji Mian. Otherwise, if they were just friends, why would he distance himself from him?
But if she didn't distance herself from him, she was afraid that she would get deeper and deeper into trouble, that she would reveal her true feelings, and that Ji Mian and he would never have any contact again.
Fu Chenyu searched along the No. 485 bus. Halfway through, light snow began to fall, the temperature dropped sharply, and it became increasingly difficult to find the person.
The motorcycle was moving fast, and the December sunlight scraped against his face like scissors, forming a layer of frost on Fu Chenyu's beautiful eyelashes.
When we found the passenger transport center, someone finally knew where Ji Mian was going.
The security guard said that in the afternoon a student wearing Zhennan school uniform asked him how to get to the pharmacy. He looked unwell and later went to the lobby to ask for water.
When he asked the shop owner, he told him that Ji Mian was taken away by a man.
Fu Chenyu's heart almost stopped. He clenched his right fist, the violent factor in his heart was churning, and his face was so gloomy that it was frightening.
If something happened to Ji Mian...
Fortunately, a phone call from Lin Minzhi pulled Fu Chenyu back from the edge of the cliff.
"Xiao Chen, I found him. Su Su just called me. He's at one of his teachers' house. Mianmian lost his phone and has a fever. The teacher knows him, so she took him home first. I just contacted Su Su, I'm going there now..."
Fu Chenyu interrupted Lin Minzhi, his voice a little hoarse because of his emotions: "Auntie, it's snowing outside, I'll go pick him up."
Lin Minzhi has rheumatism in her legs. When it snows or rains, she can't even walk when the condition gets serious.
He remembers it all.
After Li Jue finished his last game, he heard a lot of noise outside.
He stuck his head into the living room and saw white steam coming out of the kitchen. His brother seemed to be cooking porridge.
Various medicines were scattered on the coffee table, and there was a pair of unfamiliar shoes in the shoe cabinet. They were not big in size and should belong to someone of the same age.
"Who did you bring back?" Li Jue raised his eyebrows.
"One of Susu's junior high school classmates, I met him at the passenger center. His child had a fever, so I brought him back to our house to stay for a while."
Li Jue sneered, "Why would you need to meddle in other people's business, you rotten nice guy."
In his previous life, his brother died young and ruined his life because he was a pushover.
This time Li Jue is reborn, he will never let what happened in his previous life happen again.
Moreover, he has a somewhat awkward attitude towards his brother.
Li Jue didn't realize until he was thirty that Su Luoyu didn't really love him, and that he had always considered himself a substitute for Li Weishi. Li Jue's arrogant self-esteem was almost crushed by Su Luoyu.
The two had a big fight because of this, and their relationship became unreconciled and ended in failure.
Li Weishi smiled and said, "It's just a small favor. His mother has called and will pick him up soon. Xiaojue, take the porridge over to him. I'll go find the thermometer at home."
Li Jue reluctantly picked up the porridge and pushed open the door to the guest room.
On the 1.8-meter-tall bed, Ji Mian was deeply buried in the thick quilt, with her profile blocked by the pillow, revealing only her beautiful jawline and white neck, which was thin, fragile and beautiful.
The bed was so big that he curled up and only took up a small space.
A strange thought popped up in Li Jue's mind: the neck is quite beautiful.
Li Jue put down the bowl and originally planned to go out directly.
But the boy on the bed, his snow-white neck kept shaking in front of him, making him annoyed.
Could it be a woman? Li Jue hesitated for a moment: Li Weishi brought a woman back?
Finally finding an excuse, Li Juezhi walked back with confidence, lifted the soft quilt, and revealed the boy's complete face on the bed.
Ji Mian's eyelashes trembled slightly, he turned his head and fell into an endless nightmare.
At this moment, Li Jue's brain seemed to be hit hard by a pendulum, and everything went blank.
Without any emotional transition, his eyes quickly turned bloodshot and his whole body began to tremble, first slightly, then uncontrollably.
He broke the porcelain spoon in his hand into two pieces unconsciously.
