"Shi Rong, what are you doing?!" Shi Li finally lost his usual calmness, looking at his sister who rushed out from the corner in astonishment.
Facing the question, Shi Rong's eyes were red, looking down at Shi Mu who was lying on the ground.
Shi Mu gritted her teeth and forced herself to stand up from the ground. Her knees hurt so much that she could hardly move. She held on to the wall, her pale face made her eyes look even darker.
Shi Rong's whole body was trembling, tears welled up in her eyes, she trembled in her voice: "Shi Mu, you are so shameless, you are deliberately humiliating me, right?"
Thinking of that day in the bar, she felt moved by her, she felt more and more ashamed, and more angry after being teased. She was wondering, she clearly ran away secretly, why did her brother find out? Later, when she returned home, she was scolded by her mother and grandmother. They scolded her for becoming a shameless woman like Shi Mu, and told her to get out of the house.
Grandma didn't like girls, and she was nice to her because of Shi Mu. After Shi Mu left, grandma returned to her original nature.
Shi Rong had been thinking about that boy for so long, and she never thought that he would be the most annoying sister. How grateful she was to Shi Mu for saving her, how much she hated her now.
"Shi Rong..."
"Don't say anything!" Shi Rong cried and waved away the hand that Shi Li stretched out, sobbing hoarsely, "You are my brother, and I am the one who has been with you since childhood! Why do you give her money? It was she who wanted to leave the Shi family, and no one stopped her! No one is sorry for her! You clearly knew that she would kill you, why did you still look for her? Who are you doing this for?"
Shi Rong felt more and more wronged as she spoke.
From childhood to adulthood, she grew up with her brother and studied together. When people mentioned Shi Li, they immediately thought of the equally outstanding Shi Rong. Later... the Shi family had a daughter who was perverse and arrogant. After transferring to No. 1 Middle School, she either skipped classes or fought. When she saw a good-looking boy, she would bring a group of people to surround him. There were more and more bad rumors about Shi Mu in the school. When her classmates heard that she was Shi Mu's sister, their eyes became more and more strange. In order not to be associated with bad girls, the classmates distanced themselves from Shi Rong.
She hated this intruder, hated her so much, hated her, and hated her so much that she wanted her to disappear immediately.
Shi Rong looked at Shi Mu with rapid breathing, "Why are you so vicious? You just want to kill your brother. You and the thing in your body are evil things. You are voodoo!"
Shi Li covered his chest which was aching a little, frowned and scolded: "Enough, Shi Rong, don't say anymore."
"Why can't I say it." Shi Rong looked up at Shi Li, "You are twins, it's true, I can't compare to you in this respect, but have you forgotten? She can live to this day because of your life. You are in such a bad health now, you can't run or jump, and your chest hurts when the weather changes. It's all her fault. Why are you still licking your face? Do you think she cares?"
"Shut up!" Shi Li suddenly pinched Shi Rong's neck and pushed her hard against the wall. The usually silent boy was full of danger at this moment.
Shi Rong's breath was choked, and her wide eyes were full of shock. In Shi Li's eyes, she saw the former Shi Mu. Her sister always stared at her with such malicious eyes like a snake, as if she was a weak prey.
"Don't say it. It's none of your business. If you are wrong, it's wrong. There is no need to hurt others in the name of doing good for me. I feel ashamed." Shi Li held his breath and slowly loosened his hand.
Shi Rong's lips trembled, and her eyes were full of hurt.
Shi Li went straight down the stairs and stretched out his
hand to Shi Mu: "I'll take you to the infirmary." "She's right, I don't care." Shi Mu leaned against the wall, avoiding Shi Li's open arms without moving his expression.
The twins stood very close, but also very far apart. The distance of a few centimeters was a gap that they could never cross in their lifetime.
If the former Shi Li was willing to reach out and embrace, and to suppress his fear and alienation, perhaps the former Shi Mu would not be in despair, and would not walk down a road of no return.
Shi Mu forced a smile on his lips, his eyes were extremely cold and silent: "If you come close to me now, the insects in my body will suck your energy dry in three minutes. If you are lucky, you can survive tonight, but with your physical condition, I estimate that you won't even have time to close your eyes. Even if it is for your own good, just treat her as your sister's death. Whether you see her or not, just treat her as dead."
These words were naturally meant to scare Shi Li. The charmed insects in her body were suppressed by the vine insects, so how could they easily suck people's lives?
Shi Mu straightened her spine, walked around Shi Li and went downstairs, her back was lonely and full of stubbornness.
He raised his head slightly, looked at Shi Rong indifferently, just one glance, and then left in the opposite direction without saying anything.
Shi Rong sniffed, lowered her head and cried aggrievedly.
"Shi Rong, why haven't you moved your books down yet? The teacher is urging you." The urging voice of a male classmate came from behind.
Shi Rong wiped her tears and turned to go out to get the books.
There were less than five minutes left before the start of the game. Shi Mu's legs hurt so much that she couldn't bear it after just going down one floor.
She sat on the steps and slowly lifted up her trouser legs. Her knees were abnormally red and swollen, and there were abrasions of varying degrees on her calves. Her elbows and waist also hurt, but they were far less serious than the injuries on her knees.
Shi Mu frowned, put down her trousers, took a deep breath, and stood up holding the handrail. As soon as she walked out of the door, Bei Ling hurried over, panting slightly: "The competition is about to start, Teacher Huang is looking for you."
"Oh." Shi Mu dragged his legs and slowly moved in front of her.
Bei Ling didn't see anything wrong, and asked sideways: "Where did you go just now?"
Shi Mu said: "I didn't go anywhere, I just walked around."
"Then hurry up, everyone else is starting to get ready."
"Yeah." He responded indifferently. Shi Mu looked at his feet and stomped them tentatively. He probably felt numb because of the pain. His left leg had no feeling at all. Looking at Bei Ling's jogging figure in front of him, he pursed his lips and quickly followed.
There were many people sitting in the audience seats outside the venue. The first participating school had already started the competition.
Shi Mu was fidgeting in a lounge chair at the backstage. Her waist and hands hurt, her legs were sore, and her frown never relaxed. Bei Ling didn't notice anything wrong. She kept encouraging her with shining eyes, and used all kinds of good words to praise Shi Mu. It was obvious that she was really looking forward to this competition.
"No. 1 Middle School has always looked down on us Yingnan. This time we are going to make them look at us in a new light. Don't you think so?"
"Hmm." Shi Mu narrowed his eyes and didn't hear clearly.
Old Huang, who was sitting next to him, finally felt something was wrong. He looked at Shi Mu from beginning to end. Compared to when he first came out, Shi Mu's face was much worse now. He pushed Shi Mu's shoulder and asked with concern, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"I'm not feeling uncomfortable." She touched her left knee reflexively.
That subtle movement naturally did not escape the eyes of the former policeman. Lao Huang pulled Shi Mu's hand away and lifted up her pants regardless of her resistance. When he saw the exposed swollen knees, Bei Ling screamed.
She was badly injured, and her calf was swollen.
"Fuck." Old Huang yelled, "Which bastard did this? Tell me. Did someone from another school bully you?"
Bei Ling's eyes turned red. "Have you been like this since just now? Does it hurt?"
As she spoke, she choked up.
Shi Mu patted the girl's head, glanced at the furious Old Huang, and said calmly, "I fell down by myself. It has nothing to do with others."
It's not that Shi Mu is being stubborn, nor is he pretending to be a good person. She is now a male. If people know that Shi Rong pushed her, her identity will be exposed soon, and she will be in trouble.
"Bullshit, how could you fall down like this?!" Old Huang obviously didn't believe it. "Tell me, who did it."
She lowered her head and pursed her lips tightly.
The atmosphere was deadlocked.
Old Huang rubbed his hair fiercely, "Okay, I'll just assume it was you who fell, then let's go to the hospital now."
Shi Mu still didn't move.
Old Huang slapped his thigh anxiously, "Little ancestor, it's fine if you don't say who did it, but why don't you go to the hospital?"
Shi Mu said, "Wait until the game is over."
Old Huang was stunned, "You still want to compete?"
Shi Mu twisted his head, his expression stubborn; "We've come this far, if we withdraw from the competition, it will make people laugh at us, I can't let people look down on us."
Old Huang choked and was a little moved: "You, you are doing this for my face? Let's not save face, let's go, let's go to the hospital!"
"No." Shi Mu struggled to get away, "The first place gets 100,000 yuan, and even the second place still gets 50,000."
"..."
Old Huang: "Are you fucking money-grubber?"
Of course you must be money-grubber, everyone needs to eat.
Soon it was the turn of Yingnan High School. Shi Mu took a deep breath and sat up from his chair. He lowered his head to tidy up his clothes, straightened his back and walked to the front of the stage. Bei Ling wiped away his tears, put on a smile and followed.
In the half-full audience seats, Shi Mu saw Fu Yunshen sitting in the front row. The boy supported his chin with one hand, and his expression was particularly casual. Xia Hang next to him waved to them with a gentle smile .
The music started, and Shi Mu and Bei Ling stood side by side.
The radio gymnastics chosen by other schools were all at the forefront of fashion, and the dances were not so silly. Only they chose the ninth set of radio gymnastics. When the sound of marching in place sounded, many people laughed.
Shi Mu knew that this competition was quite stupid, and she also knew that it was silly for two people to dance this in such a big stadium. She dared to say that square dances were more beautiful than this. But no matter how silly she was, she couldn't lose the principles. Everyone was a former radio gymnastics dancer. What was so funny about it?
She did it seriously, without any slackness. Even though her knees were burning, she didn't show any pain on her face. The key point was that she was so beautiful that she danced radio gymnastics like ballet. Unconsciously, fewer people laughed outside the stadium, and some even started to take pictures of Shi Mu with their mobile phones. There was one person behind Fu Yunshen.
The sound of the camera was too harsh. Fu Yunshen turned around with a stern expression: "Delete it."
The man rolled his eyes at him and said, "You're sick."
Fu Yunshen propped himself up. His tall figure and gloomy eyes gave people an unspeakable sense of oppression. He said word by word: "I told you to delete it."
The boy looked at him carefully, and after confirming that he was not someone to be trifled with, he reluctantly deleted the photo.
Fu Yunshen sat down again.
The music slowly stopped, and the two bowed deeply to the judges and the audience, then turned and left to the backstage.
It was estimated that the exercise just now pulled the wound on her knee, and she could no longer exert any strength. After taking two steps forward reluctantly, Shi Mu fell to the ground with a sigh. She gritted her teeth in pain, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"Shi Mu——!" Bei Ling screamed in surprise. Just as he was about to approach, he saw a dark figure leaping down from the audience. He quickly approached, grabbed the man by the waist and picked him up. There was a burst of wows on
the stage. Fu Yunshen panted slightly, holding Shi Mu and walked out of the stadium quickly.
The sun was scorching outside, and his breath was refreshing. Shi Mu couldn't help but put his arms around the boy's neck. Hearing the emotion value rising continuously, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then slowly raised his head. The refracted light
was dazzling. The black-haired boy pursed his thin lips and looked solemn. After knowing him for so long, it was the first time that Shi Mu saw him with such an expression. He bit his lip, and suddenly an unspeakable emotion rose in his heart.
After leaving the school gate, Fu Yunshen stopped the taxi, held Shi Mu in his arms, and directly said the word hospital.
Shi Mu adjusted her sitting position and said in a hoarse voice: "You're taking me to the hospital without asking anything?"
Fu Yunshen glanced at her. Her face was pale to begin with, and now it was completely bloodless. Her lips were cracked, and she looked very uncomfortable. Fu Yunshen's internal organs also felt uncomfortable.
He had lived for seventeen years, and he had never been so worried and frightened for someone as he was today. From the moment she fell to the ground, his limbs reacted before his brain, and he only came back to his senses now.
So this is the feeling of worry.
So...
this is the feeling of liking someone.
Fu Yunshen looked out the window, and in the reflection of the window, he saw that his eyes were still confused and uneasy.
"Fu Yunshen?" Shi Mu called him softly.
Fu Yunshen opened his mouth, but before he could utter a word, the car stopped at the gate of the hospital.
His Adam's apple rolled up and down twice, and he handed over the change: "No need for change."
Then he carried Shi Mu out of the car.
The hospital was still crowded on a weekday. Fu Yunshen, who was wearing a school uniform and had outstanding features, quickly attracted everyone's attention, especially since he was holding Shi Mu in his arms.
Feeling the constant drifting gazes, Shi Mu patted Fu Yunshen's shoulder embarrassedly, "Put me down, I can walk."
"Hello, how can I help you?" A nurse came over.
Fu Yunshen hugged Shi Mu tightly and said quickly, "She is injured."
The nurse looked around at Shi Mu with a gentle smile, "What is the injury?"
What injury... ?
Fu Yunshen looked bewildered. He was in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to ask. He half lowered his eyes and asked, "Where are you injured?"
The nurse couldn't help but covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
Shi Mu's face was almost burning, and he said awkwardly, "I hurt my knee, my knee."
The nurse nodded in understanding, and said to Fu Yunshen, "You go register and pay the fee first, and we will take care of this student."
Fu Yunshen glanced at her worriedly and put the person on the stretcher.
Shi Mu was being examined by the doctor while Fu Yunshen was running around to pay various fees. The examination results came out quickly. After the attending doctor handed the X-ray to Fu Yunshen, he lowered his head to fill out the medical record form: "Soft tissue contusion, not too serious, rest well for two to three weeks, spray the prescribed topical medication every day, and be careful when taking a bath, so as not to get infected by water. Take this to get the medicine."
Fu Yunshen took the form and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Don't you need to be hospitalized?"
"No, bandage it and go back to recuperate. Control your diet and don't eat spicy food, smoke or drink alcohol. Come back for a follow-up visit when the time comes."
Fu Yunshen listened carefully and remembered everything in his heart. After saying thank you, he turned around to get the medicine.
Watching the boy's back as he walked away again, the nurse bent down and joked in Shi Mu's ear: "Is this boy your boyfriend? He cares about you so much."
Shi Mu was startled and waved his hand hastily: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, we are brothers."
The nurse smiled with her face covered, her eyes were very meaningful. Shi Mu was afraid that the more he explained, the more confusing it would be, so he touched his nose and let them treat the wound obediently. At this time, Shi Mu remembered that she ran out without telling Lao Huang and the others, so she quickly took out her mobile phone and sent a message.
It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon when she finished the examination. She had a thick layer of white gauze wrapped around her knees, and it was a little difficult for her to walk. After
leaving the hospital lobby, looking at the not-so-long stairs, Fu Yunshen slowly squatted in front of Shi Mu.
Shi Mu asked in a daze, "What?"
The boy replied coldly, "I'll carry you."
"No, I can walk by myself."
As soon as Shi Mu finished speaking, she was forcibly pulled onto the not-so-broad back.
Fu Yunshen had strong arms and a faint smell of sweat ran out of his body. She sniffed it and her ears turned red for no reason.
Shi Mu opened her upper and lower lips slightly and murmured, "Then... I'll get the medicine for you."
As she spoke, she hooked the medicine bag from Fu Yunshen's hand. She took the medicine and slowly rested her chin on the boy's shoulder. His bones were very hard and it hurt his chin.
In the silence, Shi Mu heard a sudden noise coming from Fu Yunshen's stomach. After a slight pause, her eyes fell over.
The boy pursed his lips and blushed. She didn't know if it was because of the sun or shyness.
Shi Mu blinked: "Are you hungry?"
Fu Yunshen: "As if."
As if...
he was obviously hungry. Shi
Mu looked around and found that there were many restaurants near the hospital. However, it was peak time and there would probably be no seats even if he went there. So he said, "How about I make you sweet and sour pork ribs?"
"No need." Fu Yunshen dragged the person up and stopped in front of the road, looking back and forth for empty cars.
Finally, he stopped a car, Fu Yunshen carefully put the person in, sat in front of her, took a long breath and said, "I'll make it for you when we get home."
Shi Mu exclaimed, "Can you make it?"
Fu Yunshen still had a cold look on his face, "Yes, if you can't, you can learn."
Shi Mu still looked at him with a strange look.
It was really strange that the stinky-footed boss who was not involved in worldly affairs actually wanted to learn how to cook. Thinking of the picture of him wearing an apron and entangled in the kitchen, Shi Mu felt a little happy in her heart, and couldn't help but have a little more expectation.
"Okay, if you want to do it, just do it. For the sake of safety, we should order a takeout in advance."
Hearing her say this, Fu Yunshen puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction.
The car was heading to Fu Yunshen's home. Shi Mu frowned, "Can we go back to my house? I don't want to go to your place."
Fu Yunshen glanced at her: "Where will I sleep if I go back to your place?"
Shi Mu; ? ?
Fu Yunshen sneered: "Otherwise, you can take care of yourself?"
Shi Mu: "...I'm not disabled."
He hummed and turned away.
Shi Mu still said stubbornly: "I won't go to your place anyway."
"Okay." Fu Yunshen said to the driver, "Turn around and go to No. 23 Hutong, Dongcheng District."
Just when Shi Mu breathed a sigh of relief, the boy in front of him laughed timidly: "Go to your place, I will sleep with you."
Shi Mu: "..."
"Okay, we can talk about something else." The boy regained his usual calm tone.
Shi Mu raised his head tremblingly, "What, what is it?"
He smiled, his eyes were much deeper: "How did you get this injury?"
