back to college

The next morning, it started to rain suddenly, but it wasn't too heavy.

The autumn rain is obviously a little cool.The rain was pattering, quietly washing the honest streets and alleys, and the noisy noise was gradually covered up by the sound of the rain unconsciously.Everything seemed to be soaked in a moist mist, washing away the dust.

The luggage is almost packed.

Lin Yi went out early in the morning because he wanted to buy something to bring to Lin Lin.Tang Xiaoli is because he hasn't slept soundly these days. Because he drank some beer yesterday, he hardly slept very deeply, so if he was not suddenly woken up by the phone call, I'm afraid he really wouldn't be able to sleep until the next morning. May wake up.

"Hello." Tang Xiaoli closed his eyes and couldn't help yawning. The drooping corners of his eyes looked like seams, and his head hurt a little.

"My car broke down on the way, and I may not be able to go back until later." Lin Yi said helplessly.

"En, I see." Tang Xiaoli nodded and was about to hang up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Yi hesitated for a while before deciding to speak, and then said: "Well... today... has anyone been here?"

"..." Tang Xiaoli yawned again: "Probably not." He slept deeply, although he might not have heard it, but after thinking about it, in normal times, except for the properties in the community, he would come back occasionally. Besides, very few people usually come.

However, Lin Yi on the other end of the phone seemed to be relieved, and his tone was obviously much more relaxed: "That's good, there's nothing else to do."

"..." Tang Xiaoli felt that Lin Yi was a little confused today.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Xiaoli went back to the room to sleep for a while and returned to the cage.

When he woke up, he realized that it was getting late.Because of the rain, it was already dark.

The quiet room makes the sound of the rain outside the house louder and louder. In the empty room, it even makes people feel that the sound of the rain has echoes, and the sound of the rain brings the coolness of early autumn, which makes people feel a little cold.Tang Xiaoli was a little apprehensive, so he hurriedly turned on the light, only then did he feel that it was too much.

This kind of weather, especially when it is shady and cool, can make people want to eat something warm.It seems that only in this way can we balance the cold feeling in my heart that is always warm and not hot, so as not to let the cold air take advantage of it when I feel empty.

Tang Xiaoli thought about it, since he had to pack his bags and leave tomorrow, today would be a rare luxury, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back after this trip... Thinking of this, he picked up his wallet, rolled up his trouser legs, and took Umbrella out of the house.

After he got out of the apartment, he realized that it was much colder than he thought outside, but luckily it didn't make people shiver.

The street lamps on the street were dimly lit one after another, making them extraordinarily warm in the rain.The dampness on the face has a slight earthy smell, which makes the mood that has been chaotic seem to wake up a lot.

The business of the hot pot restaurant seems to be better than usual. It seems that everyone thinks so and wants to take advantage of the heat of the hot pot.

But fortunately, Tang Xiaoli didn't have a meal when he came, so he quickly found a seat.After sitting down, I realized that my body was still a little wet. Although I took an umbrella along the way, it was inevitable that I would get a little wet because of the wind.

"I want spicy pot bottom, and two bottles of beer."

Tang Xiaoli stroked his sleeves with a smile, took the order from the boss, and the boss was called away by the person who left the table after a while.

Tang Xiaoli took the list and drew with the crochet. He knew that one person ordered a bit too much, but when he saw the lively atmosphere at the next table, he decided to be merciless.My heart is full of calculations, the big deal is that I can't finish eating, pack up and leave.It's a bit like today and no tomorrow.

"Boss, you've made your selection." Tang Xiaoli half-held the selection menu and shouted at the busy boss who was enjoying himself.

At this time, the list was suddenly taken away.

Tang Xiaoli was taken aback.

"When did your appetite become so good?" The man smiled, obviously lost weight, and his face was pale.Because he didn't have an umbrella, his whole body was already soaked, his drooping eyelashes were even covered with water vapor, and the rain slowly dripped down his black hair and slid down his tall nose.Although he tried his best to hide it, he was still short of breath, obviously walking in a hurry.

"..." Tang Xiaoli remained silent for an instant, still looking at the person in front of him in disbelief, even forgetting to hide the surprise and bewilderment on his face that shouldn't be there.

Xu He pulled out his chair and sat opposite Tang Xiaoli: "You can't eat so much by yourself, why don't you treat me to a meal." He still had a perfect smile on his face, faintly, gently, even watching It would be a little disrespectful not to come out.

There was a kind and polite smile on his handsome face, so perfect that no one could even find the slightest reason to refuse.

Tang Xiaoli still frowned unconsciously.He really didn't think about seeing Xu He again...nor did he want to.

He didn't speak, but stood up quietly, picked up the umbrella standing on one side, and got up to leave.

Xu He's smile was completely out of shape the moment Tang Xiaoli stood up, even a little stiff and hard to maintain.

Xu He, who was flustered for a while, reached out and grabbed Tang Xiaoli's arm suddenly.

"Just one meal...isn't it enough?" Xu He was amazingly powerful, and he grabbed Tang Xiaoli's hand with amazing strength, with a serious expression like a child who was begging for candy.

Tang Xiaoli was slightly surprised.

Xu He never knew what it was like to pray like this, but now he really understood.

No, indescribably humble, but... panic and tension from beginning to end.He...was afraid that the request after losing his self-esteem would still be rejected if he returned it.He...was afraid that even this pity would not be able to redeem anything...but what he was most afraid of was that it would be too late for Tang Xiaoli to do anything he did now.

He didn't tell Tang Xiaoli that since he met Lin Yi, he had been staying in the car. There was some food in the car. Except for going to the toilet occasionally, he hardly ever left.

One week... time is really too short...

He thought hard and couldn't find a good excuse to make Tang Xiaoli take back what he said willingly, and even the crappy excuses he thought of couldn't even convince himself.So what can make him believe that he really regrets it.How can he make up for it... He has never been so panicked as he is now. What he is really afraid of is that if he doesn't even think of a reason, Tang Xiaoli is already with Lin Yi.

At that time, everything will return to the way it was before... quiet and suffocating.

What should he do.

He didn't even dare to think about such a result.The only thing to do now is to watch.

All the time, not half a step away.Although this method is stupid enough, but he can't think of anything else better than this.Even if he really wants to leave, he will leave, so he always carries his ID and bank card with him, no matter where he goes, he always follows.

but.

But he didn't dare to go up to find someone again. After meeting Lin Yi, he didn't know what to do.He didn't know how sure he was.So, he just sat in the car like this, waiting for Tang Xiaoli to go out, deliberately pretending to meet by chance, so at least it wouldn't be too bad.

Just now, when Tang Xiaoli left the apartment, he was taking a nap in the car. Fortunately... when he stumbled, he happened to find that Tang Xiaoli hadn't gone far.

The car couldn't start, so I didn't have time to think, so I just got out of the car.

Always following Tang Xiaoli carefully, he took one step at a time, not daring to get too close or too far away, always keeping a distance.He never thought that he would have today, when did he learn to follow people...

Suddenly, there is only one sentence in my mind, self-inflicted... I can't live.

Is he responding to this sentence now...

Unknowingly, a wry smile appeared on his face.

"..." Tang Xiaoli looked at Xu He, Xu He's face was extremely tired, his clothes were soaked and even sporadically dripping water, his eyes were sunken, with heavy dark circles.

I don't know if he misunderstood it, but there was such a humble begging in his always proud and confident eyes.

No, you must have read it wrong.

After a few seconds of stalemate, Tang Xiaoli finally twitched his arm.

"...just one meal." Xu He looked at Tang Xiaoli, feeling seriously but with an indescribable humbleness, wondering if the surrounding voices were too noisy, Xu He's voice seemed to be the first time in his life. So weak that it was almost submerged and submerged.

Tang Xiaoli stood quietly by Xu He's side. It should have been only a few seconds, but Xu He was so nervous that his fingertips trembled slightly.

"...There's no need for that." Since we were about to leave, I simply broke it all at once, whether it was for myself or for him... Tang Xiaoli finally pulled his arm away, holding the wet Umbrella turned sideways and quickly walked past Xu He.

Xu He almost froze in place, standing upright, without even having time to withdraw his vain hand, he stopped stiffly in mid-air, but there was a trace of panic and loss that had never been seen on his face.

Slowly closing his eyes, his pale face was earthy, weak and ugly, and the long eyelashes were thick with moisture.

Tang Xiaoli pushed open the door, holding an umbrella, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and it was so heavy that it was hard to see the road on the other side.The cold rain made him shiver uncontrollably.

……

He could feel the person following him all the time, and he knew who that person was without turning around.

Not daring to approach but not daring to stay away, taking every step with caution.

He didn't understand why Xu He still didn't let him go at this time... Obviously he said he didn't like it, obviously it was his intention, all the things were just for fun, obviously he wanted to humiliate him , just to make him completely give up... Why, in just a few days, he suddenly appeared in front of me so pitifully.

Could it be another game... Tang Xiaoli thought it was ridiculous.

Ok.

He admits he succeeded.

He really felt terrible.

Are you laughing at him, or don't even want to leave him with the last bit of self-esteem.

Although he likes Xu He, but... at least he still has something he can't make concessions to, he knows he still has some dignity.He really didn't dare to worry about Xu He any more. He knew that no matter how much he had, he would lose everything.He also realized that he couldn't afford it, and he couldn't bear it.Now he just wants to get out of here quickly, anywhere is fine, as long as it is not here.

Why, he had to reappear at this time.

Tang Xiaoli walked faster and faster, but he couldn't tell the decisiveness.

... The rain is getting heavier and heavier.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps following him gradually slowed down and became lighter...it became farther and farther away, and then seemed to disappear.

Sure enough... it's still the same.

I don't know when, the sound behind me became more and more noisy, mixed, even mixed with shouts, these are getting louder and louder rain, mixed with car horns, footsteps of people coming and going... a lot of voices All mixed together, disturbing... noisy and chaotic... the troubled surroundings seemed to be ridiculing Tang Xiaoli's heart that he could only dress up in a suit all the time.

However, the sound of cautious footsteps could no longer be heard.

Tang Xiaoli, who was holding the umbrella all the time, although there was no movement on his face, he still couldn't help smiling, with a hint of sarcasm on his face, he suddenly felt very lucky that he didn't look back.

After going around, I finally bought some instant noodles for supper.

It was raining heavily, and even though I was holding an umbrella all the time, I still inevitably got drenched all over.After closing the umbrella, Tang Xiaoli shook off the rain.After entering the apartment, I realized that my body was already frozen and my nose was red from the cold.

Put some hot water, and plan to take a bath, at least warmer.

When I changed my clothes, I realized that there were dozens of missed calls on the mobile phone in my pocket.

Some of the phone numbers belonged to Xu He, and there were also some unfamiliar numbers.

For some reason, when looking at these missed calls, a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart, and he was in a hurry... He sat on the chair, holding the phone in a daze.

Suddenly, the phone rang again.

It's that unfamiliar phone number again...

Although hesitant, he finally pressed the answer button.

"Hello, is this Mr. Tang Xiaoli?" A strange voice suddenly came from the phone.

"I'm."

"Oh," the voice over there obviously relaxed a lot: "Who are you from Mr. Xu He?"

"It's... a friend." The ominous premonition was getting stronger and stronger, as if it was going to swallow him up.

"Well, please inform his immediate family, or can you come to the hospital in person, Mr. Xu He had a car accident half an hour ago, it seems very serious... now he has been sent to the emergency room for rescue .” The other end of the phone still said calmly.

……

When his eyes went dark, Tang Xiaoli felt his whole body go limp, and he didn't even have the strength to hold the phone.

Tang Xiao left his open and closed lips, but couldn't make a sound: "No, no..."

"We found the mobile phone in his pocket, and the only recent contact on it was you, so we called you. The hospital is..." The person over there still simply gave the address, and hung up the phone calmly.

The beeping sound of the phone made Tang Xiaoli stare blankly at the phone for a full minute.

His whole body trembled uncontrollably, and after a while, he seemed to wake up from a start. What happened to Xu He? !

problem occurs……

Without even thinking about changing his shoes, he hurried out of the apartment with his wallet.

While sitting in the taxi, he called Xu Ran, but because no one answered, he could only send a text message.When sending text messages, his hands trembled so much that he could barely type, and it took him a long time to send them.

Along the way, he could only tell himself over and over again that he was fine, that he would be fine...

However, I still recall Xu He's prayers, sadness, wet and desolate appearance not long ago... and the footsteps that were gradually submerged in the noise and could no longer be heard... These are omens, It's just that he didn't have the heart to pay attention at that time, and he didn't even want to look back to see what happened...

He just thought that Xu He had lost his patience... He just thought that Xu He was playing tricks on him again, maybe when he turned his head, he would see Xu He's sneering face...

If that's the case, he'll literally break down.

But, who knows, things will...

Will not.

It must be fine.

Not everyone said that a scourge can live for thousands of years... Xu He is a scourge, so he must be fine.

Tang Xiaoli kept clutching the phone tremblingly, even he didn't realize it, his face was full of tears and his face was cold.

When I got to the hospital, the pungent smell of disinfectant made my heart more and more emboldened little by little, because I was too nervous and my whole body seemed to be in great fear.

He felt that his hands and feet were cold, but it didn't feel like his own...

Finally, I found the waiter of the emergency room...

"Are you Mr. Tang Xiaoli, people are still being rescued... There are still some formalities..." Tang Xiaoli felt a little dazed, just looking at the emergency room, and couldn't even hear what the police were saying.

I don't know how long it took, Tang Xiaoli sat outside the door alone, so quiet that he could even hear his own heartbeat, muttering to himself over and over again mechanically.

"Nothing, absolutely nothing..."

But the words at this time seemed so pale and powerless.As time went on, he felt more and more uncertain...

"What's going on now?" Xu Ran hurried over, his suit was covered with muddy water, and he saw Tang Xiaoli standing outside the door alone, his eyes glazed over.

Tang Xiaoli shook his head, the hand he had been holding tightly was slightly pale.

Xu Ran frowned.

Not long after, suddenly, the door of the emergency room was slowly opened.

The doctor walked out of the emergency room slowly.

"Doctor... How is Xu He?" The doctor just shook his head, took off his mask, and stood beside Xu Ran: "Who is the patient's immediate family?" The doctor asked.

"I am." Xu Ran and the doctor walked to one side.

At this moment, the hospital bed was hurriedly rolled out of the emergency room.

With just one glance, he still saw Xu He's head covered with bandages. Although it was covered by an oxygen mask, the shocking blood stains on his gray face were clearly visible...

Tang Xiaoli didn't care about anything else, he just followed the nurse pushing the bed to the intensive care unit.

The nurse isolated Tang Xiaoli outside the ward, and Tang Xiaoli stood outside the transparent glass room, looking at Xu He who was wrapped in bandages.

"You can't have something to do...you can't have something to do..." Tang Xiaoli lay on the glass, muttering to himself, looking a little dazed.

……

Xu Ran's face was a little ugly, and he walked to Tang Xiaoli's side.

"The doctor said that there is a lot of bleeding in the cranial cavity...it may not last tonight..." Xu Ran said lightly, his tone was surprisingly calm, but except for his slightly trembling hands...and, when he kept looking at Tang Xiaoli, No more friendly eyes.

The author has something to say: Hehe... I knew there would be Yin, and I couldn't calm down after reading it... But Su, I am innocent.

I swear, I am sweet...

I swear, I'm tired, I'm absolutely tired...

Rolling...
