My deskmate makes me unwilling to study

Wen Xiao did the questions very fast, even if Chi Ye was beside him and he couldn't concentrate, it still didn't affect him to finish a paper in less than an hour.

Before leaving, Wen Xiao took the black schoolbag from Chi Ye and asked him, "Are there many things these two days?"

The young man's expression was very calm, as if it was such an ordinary question, but Chi Ye accurately captured the emotions hidden in it, "I can finish my work tomorrow afternoon. My mother's attending doctor asked me to go to the hospital, and I will have nothing to do after that."

Wen Xiao didn't speak, just hung her schoolbag on one shoulder and stood quietly.

Chi Ye's heart was unbelievably soft, "Tomorrow... can we meet again?"

Wen Xiao nodded immediately: "Okay, see you at the basketball court at nine o'clock in the evening?"

The time and place have already been thought out, and the smile in Chi Ye's eyes is even stronger: "See you on the basketball court."

When eating dinner, even grandma could tell, "Xiaoxiao is in a good mood?"

Wen Xiao froze for a while, then put the ribs into the bowl as if nothing had happened, without denying it: "Is it obvious?"

"Obviously." Grandma sat across from her wearing a beige shawl, holding a bowl of soup for Wen Xiao, "Although grandma's eyes need to wear reading glasses, you can still see this. Did you encounter something happy?"

She has been very worried about Wen Xiao.For a long time after the accident, Wen Xiao was unable to fall asleep, occasionally fell asleep by taking medicine, and would soon wake up in a nightmare.He was too weak to get out of bed because he couldn't eat, and even lost the ability to communicate completely.She was worried every day whether Wen Xiao would not be able to get out of the shadow of that accident.

Afterwards, day after day, she finally got better. She took Wen Xiao to Mingnan and changed schools, hoping to keep him away from the past as much as possible and try a new start.

After all, people have to move forward.

Fortunately, he gradually made friends in the new school, and gradually encountered happy things.

Wen Xiao tried to sum it up, but couldn't sum it up—the reason why he was in a good mood was probably because he made an appointment with Chi Ye to play basketball tomorrow night.

Looking at it separately, playing basketball is very common, and the time and place are not special. They have been to the basketball court several times.If you really want to say it, it is probably because of the meaning of "appointment" itself, which gives a special meaning to this time, place and content that are very ordinary.

A...date?

Grandma thought: "Is it because of this monthly exam? Your head teacher also called me specially, saying that because of the teacher who calculated the score, I gave you 140 points because of the teacher's mistake. Although they are all first, [-] and full score are still different."

Wen Xiao let out a "huh" and changed the subject, "Grandma, how were your grades when you were studying?"

Grandma recalled: "Me? I went to the girls' school when I was young, and my grades have always been very good. I learned French at that time. Although my spoken English is very average, I have no problem reading and writing. My grades are usually the first in the school. Second, as for the articles, the Chinese teacher heard that I like mathematics and physics, and was sad for a few days, very sorry. Our family, it should be your mother's poor grades."

Wen Xiao was puzzled: "Mom? Mom told me that she has always been a perfect score in mathematics and physics."

"She didn't lie to you, but your mother certainly didn't tell you that she often handed in blank papers in Chinese, right? When the test papers were handed in, except for the name and student number, the rest were the same as the new ones. I don't know why. I’m going to school for the first time to finish her off with a nice word!” Grandma put a piece of braised pork ribs in Wen Xiao’s bowl, “Fortunately, you are different from your mother, if you also pass the test in Chinese, my hair will be a few more gray!”

The chopsticks stopped, Wen Xiao asked suddenly: "Grandma, what if I do something wrong in the future?"

Grandma: "Then, please define what is wrong first."

Grandma's eyes fell on Wen Xiao, and she spoke slowly, "You should understand that in this world, right and wrong are relative, and even speaking, they are all determined by people for the survival of the population. Therefore, right and wrong Wrong is not absolute, as long as it does not break the law, does not harm innocent people, and conforms to the code of conduct you set for yourself, then it is not wrong.

Grandma believes in you. You are very smart and understand the rules. It is rare that you are very sensible and sober. So, eat this rib too, Xiaoxiao, you are still too thin now, you need to grow a little more meat! "

Wen Xiao had no objection and ate the ribs obediently.

Once there is something to look forward to, the time in between will pass quickly.

After finishing the paper at a half-speed slower than usual, Wen Xiao greeted her grandma and said that she was going to play basketball on the basketball court downstairs.Grandma was very happy, and told him while knitting a sweater: "Exercise more, and you are not allowed to go home before ten o'clock."

Wen Xiao picked up the key with her fingers, and put on her sneakers: "Okay, remember."

One of the lights next to the basketball court was broken and was not repaired, making the entire field darker than before.Wen Xiao came down 10 minutes earlier than the agreed time. He walked around the venue twice, sat down against the basketball hoop, and took out his mobile phone.

It's five minutes to nine o'clock.

Wen Xiao clicked into the class group, and found that the chats inside were in full swing.

"Shangguan Yu: I've already spent all my pocket money for a week, why haven't I drawn out the 5S card yet?"

"Squad leader-Chen Zhenyu: Because you smuggled here from Africa, you didn't get the residence permit of my Great Europa hahaha!"

"Zhao Yiyang: Because you don't have enough krypton gold! Come on, young man, put a month's pocket money into it!"

"Shangguan Yu: Damn, master, is this game developed and operated by your family?"

After looking through the chat records for a while, and then looking at the time, 5 minutes have passed after 3 minutes, Wen Xiao put the phone in his pocket.

与此同时，他心里开始数数，1、2、3、4、5、6、7……

However, no one came towards the basketball court until he counted to three hundred.

Guessing that Chi Ye must have been stumbled by something and couldn't catch up, Wen Xiao took out his phone again, opened the test software, chose a subject at random, ticked the highest difficulty, and began to do the questions seriously.

The white sneakers stepped on the concrete floor, the long legs were spread apart, and the knuckle fingers selected the answer, and then slid to the next question.Wen Xiao didn't stop until the system reminded that the phone had [-]% battery left.

Nine fifty-five.

Wen Xiao was a little worried.He opened the address book and saw Chi Ye's name at a glance.He doesn't have many friends, and even fewer contacts. Except for his grandmother, the name on the communication list is Chi Ye.With his fingers hanging over the screen, Wen Xiao hesitated for a few seconds, then pressed down.

connecting.

The feedback is not a monotonous "beep -" sound, but "the user you dialed has turned off the phone".

Shut down?

Wen Xiao thought for a while, it should be because the phone is out of battery, or some other reason.

Sitting under the basketball hoop without leaving, Wen Xiao called again after 10 minutes, still reminding the other party that the phone had been turned off.

When the battery was only [-]%, Wen Xiao did not continue to dial the number, and after confirming that it was not muted, he put the phone back in his pocket.

hospital.

The corridor was very quiet. I don't know which ward suddenly heard howling. Someone Xu Xu tried to persuade her, but the crying never stopped.

A nurse was asking what was going on.

"The patient in bed 3, I thought he could last a little longer. I heard that he is a retired old teacher. Many students come to see him every day. I didn't expect him to leave so suddenly..."

Chi Ye had just finished signing the critical illness notice, and the fingers holding the pen were trembling all the time, none of them were straight.When he arrived at the nurse's station, his voice was very hoarse, "Excuse me, is there a mobile phone charger, my mobile phone is out of power."

All the nurses here knew him. One of them opened the drawer and took out the white charger, handed it over, and comforted him: "Dr. Yang who is on duty today is also here. She is very powerful, so don't be nervous."

Ikeno took the charger and said "thank you".

The plug was next to it, Ikeno connected it, and the phone turned on automatically after a while.It was almost an hour past nine o'clock, Chi Ye took a deep breath, and pressed Wen Xiao's mobile phone number with trembling fingers.

"Sorry, the user you dialed has shut down, sorry..."

Then, the nurse saw Ikeno dial the number again, and after hearing the prompt that the user had turned off the phone, he would hang up and repeat the action just now.

Seeing him dial the number six or seven times in a row, the two nurses looked at each other, and carefully reminded him with the charger: "Is it because the other party is inconvenient, so they turned off the phone? Or is it not charging?"

Calls are not as frequent as before, and those who can memorize phone numbers are even rarer.Seeing that Ikeno dialed the number so skillfully, the other party should be a very important person.

Another nurse also chimed in: "Would you like to send him a text message or leave a message on WeChat? Then he will be able to see it when he turns on the phone, or—"

Ikeno raised his head.

For some reason, the voice of the speaking nurse gradually weakened, and she looked away in fear.

The boy's eyes were dark, full of depression, and seemed to be afraid of something, overflowing with panic.

Realizing that his emotions were wrong, Chi Ye closed his eyes and forcibly suppressed the panic that was overflowing.

He took the charger away and sat back on the chair he had been in before.

The emergency room was still busy, and the night was the same as countless nights before.He dialed Wenxiao's number mechanically, over and over again, until the joints of his thumbs were sore.

He hasn't been to school for three weeks, and he hasn't seen him once in a few days. Even if the two meet occasionally, it is very hurried.In the evening, there will be video or audio, but it is usually late at night. If Wen Xiao didn't wait until late, or if he didn't chat a few words, he would unconsciously fall asleep.

When he woke up and watched the video of the two, it usually showed half an hour or four to five ten minutes—after he fell asleep, Wen Xiao didn't hang up immediately.

But Wen Xiao never said anything.I will listen to him talk about boring work, I will help him when he is tired, I will help him take care of Ya Ya in the hospital, I will ask him if he has time when I left yesterday, and I hear that we can make an appointment to meet at the basketball court , with unconcealable joy in his eyes.

Wenxiao...

The hand hanging on one side was clenched into a fist and hit the wall behind the seat with a "bang". Looking up at the dazzling cold white fluorescent lamp, Ikeno suddenly felt that he was...very irresponsible.Obviously he was the one who forcibly broke into the other party's eyes first, and he was the one who kept approaching step by step. He was the one who brought Wen Xiao to the water's edge, wet his feet, and let him sink into it with himself, and he couldn't get out easily.

But now?

He clearly said yesterday that no matter if he was sick or something else, he should be told. He was even confident that he would be able to handle it.

He was too confident, too arrogant, too self-righteous.

The phone was turned off, maybe Wen Xiao didn't want to talk to him, more likely... Wen Xiao was still stubbornly waiting for him on the basketball court.

He clearly knew that he had breached the contract and couldn't go, but he was still waiting there stubbornly.

His heart constricted, and Chi Ye felt a sense of suffocation during his breathing. He clenched his phone tightly, but the pain caused by it was as frivolous as a feather, as if he had been cut off from consciousness.He couldn't tell where he felt the pain like a knife, and it came and went, so that the muscles all over his body were tense and he couldn't relax.

Finally, he leaned back in the chair, covering his eyes with the back of his hands and wrists, blocking the light.

After an unknown amount of time, the metal door of the emergency room opened, and the attending doctor came out and asked him to talk to the office.

The attending doctor took off his mask and said very directly: "This time I was rescued, but the situation...is very bad. We will do our best, but we dare not make any guarantees in the future."

Chi Ye was very calm, he nodded, "I understand what you mean."

The doctor looked at the young man sitting across from him.She has the vigor unique to this age, but also has a calmness that is different from usual.The facial features already have a neat outline, which is very good-looking, and should be the focus of countless eyes in school.

He couldn't bear it, but still said: "Our best treatment is useful, but the speed of treatment can't keep up with the speed of your mother's deterioration. We have already used the best equipment, the latest medicine, and the most effective diagnosis and treatment plan." , but the effect is not satisfactory, I hope you can accept this."

Ikeno nodded again: "I know."

Speaking of this step, the doctor opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to word it next.

Chi Ye took the initiative to speak out: "How is my mother's condition?"

Knowing what he was asking, the doctor replied: "Your mother's desire to survive is very strong, which is one of the reasons why her condition has been getting worse repeatedly, but has not deteriorated rapidly. People's willpower is a very powerful booster."

Chi Ye was silent for a moment, his voice hoarse: "As long as my mother wants to live, I will not give up. My sister has been waiting for her mother to come home. She is only six years old."

After finishing speaking, Ikeno stood up, "Thank you for your hard work."

The hospital bed entered the intensive care unit, and Ike Ye went to the window to pay the fee.While swiping the card and entering the password, he kept calculating how much money was left in the card and how many days it could last.

The "sizzling" sound of the printer stopped, and a form was handed out for him to sign.

After the process was over, Chi Ye took the payment slip, turned around and walked a few steps, but for a short distance, he could no longer move his legs.

Clutching the thin receipt in his hand, Ikeno squatted down on the spot, lowered his head, and cried silently.

On the empty basketball court, Wen Xiao leaned against the rusted basketball hoop, his legs a little stiff.The phone was dead and turned off, and he guessed it might have been past 10:30.

After moving his legs, the sneakers he put on specially made a sound on the concrete floor.Can't get in touch, grandma will be worried no matter how late it is, he didn't wait any longer, turned around and walked back along the way he came.

Walking to the edge, he looked back, the tree above his head was shedding leaves, and one of them just fell on his shoulder.

When Chi Ye ran to the basketball court, there was no one around him.On the concrete floor, leaves fluttered and scattered all over the place.

Self-study on Monday morning, the classroom is full of people talking about making up lessons during the summer vacation.

It's already the end of May, and in a few days it will be June, and in June, July will be very soon.

"Last summer vacation, I remember that I had to make up lessons for two weeks? Fifteen days or 20 days? I forgot!" Xu Rui worried, "According to the rubbish thinking of the attached middle school, the summer vacation of the first year of high school can be made up for so long, and now the third year of high school is coming soon. Is there going to be a wave of King Bombing?"

Zhao Yiyang didn't have much energy: "So what about Wang Zha, can it be done for two months?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Rui covered his mouth, "Damn, don't be crowed! If you really love it for two months, you will definitely be dragged in front of the statue of Confucius and put on fire to sacrifice to heaven!"

Zhao Yiyang broke away from Xu Rui's hand: "Confucian sages don't believe in offering sacrifices to heaven!" Seeing Wen Xiao came, he greeted him, "Wen Xiao, are you feeling better from your cold? Are you still hoarse?"

"It's much better." Wen Xiao sat down and found a bottle of rock sugar pears on the desk, "Whose is this?"

"Shangguan came early, and I saw a girl I didn't know send it over. Maybe I heard that you have a hoarse voice." Zhao Yiyang is very experienced. The ones he didn't even touch, after all the calculations, probably only the breakfast brought by Brother Chi would be eaten up.

Wen Xiao saw that Zhao Yiyang's eyes kept rolling on the drink bottle: "If you want to drink, I will give it to you."

Zhao Yiyang raised his eyebrows: "Thank you, brother!"

Ikeno arrived during the break in the second class.The first person to see Chi Ye was Zhao Yiyang. He couldn't believe it. He was worried that his eyes might be dazzled or hallucinating, and he rubbed his eyes, "Damn, Brother Chi? Am I right?"

Wen Xiao's writing pen paused, and the last stroke of the word "Xie" was too heavy, and the paper was pierced.

Seeing that Chi Ye didn't take his schoolbag, Zhao Yiyang was curious again: "Brother Chi, did you come here empty-handed?"

"It's not empty-handed." Chi Ye put the breakfast in his hand on the desk, Jianwen Xiao looked over, and said in a low voice, "Soy milk is three parts of sugar."

Turning his gaze to the breakfast, Wen Xiao put down his pen, opened the plastic bag, inserted the straw in it, and took a sip.

Seeing him drooping his eyes and seriously drinking the soy milk, Chi Ye felt a sharp pain in his eyes.

No one mentioned what happened last night.

Chi Ye didn't ask how long you've been waiting for me on the basketball court, and Wen Xiao didn't ask why you didn't come.One was eating breakfast while the other sat watching, like a silent pantomime.

Zhao Yiyang felt something was wrong.Brother Chi and Wen Xiao were not quite right.But what was wrong with him, he couldn't tell.

Probably... aura?

Chi Ye didn't stay for long, and when Wen Xiao finished the breakfast he brought, he put away the empty paper cups and plastic bags, "I'm leaving first."

Wen Xiao looked up at him, without asking any further questions, nodded and said, "Okay."

Zhao Yiyang was a little confused: "Brother Chi, are you leaving so soon? You didn't just come to deliver breakfast to Wen Xiao, did you?"

Chi Ye hooked his lips: "Otherwise, what do you think?"

Zhao Yiyang had the illusion of being shown his face brightly: "...Damn!"

The class bell rang, and the physics teacher entered the classroom, looking at the last row first: "I just saw Ike Ye coming?"

Zhao Yiyang smiled as a cover: "Teacher, you are hallucinating!"

The physics teacher also felt that it was probably an illusion just now, "Don't talk about this, come on, all men, women and children in the class, take out the books, let's take a closer look at this theorem that I have repeated no less than a hundred times..."

Under the desk, Chi Ye sent a WeChat message.

See "The other party is inputting" displayed on the dialog box.

Wen Xiao typed quickly: "No need to apologize."

After sending these four characters, the "typing" prompt disappears.

Wen Xiao lowered her head and typed again: "It's not your fault."
