"Where and what I do, does it have anything to do with you?"

On the other side of the door, Yuan Xu's voice asked.

Xiang Zhiyuan swears that he didn't mean to eavesdrop on this conversation, but if he opened the door at this moment, it would be the same as breaking Yuan Xu's privacy on the spot.

He took half a step back, thinking about whether he should avoid it, but he was worried about Yuan Xu. Just at this moment, that unfamiliar voice—it should be the thorny head Ding Yi that the staff said—speaks again: "It has nothing to do with me, but your dad is coming out soon. Our beloved teacher Yuan has been in prison for several years, and finally regained his freedom. As a result, his son and wife have gone thousands of miles away. Are you having a good time?"

"..."

Xiang Zhiyuan stopped backing in surprise.

Only then did he realize that what he heard might be a secret that Yuan Xu didn't want anyone to hear.

The conversation on the other side of the door was still going on, but he didn't know whether to go or stay. He stood there for half a minute before making up his mind, and pushed open the door of the passage.

Yuan Xu stood with his back to the door, when he heard the sound, he turned his head abruptly, found him alone, gave him a complicated look, didn't say anything, and continued to confront the man in front of him.

"Yo, I brought a helper."

The people standing opposite him looked over 20 years old, at least definitely not their peers.He grinned, showing his smoke-yellow teeth, and whistled towards Zhiyuan maliciously: "Who are you to this brat, be careful, he's a killer..."

Yuan Xu took two steps forward and punched him on the chin.

"Fuck, you dare to hit me." Ding Yi slurred his mouth with blood in his mouth, as if feeling very embarrassed, he spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva, "Be careful, I call someone over, I'll break your leg today, to see if you're still sloppy—"

Yuan Xu raised his hand expressionlessly, and punched him in the stomach again, hitting him directly to the point of bending down, unable to straighten up for a while.

His strikes were fast and ruthless, and he obviously knew how to exert force. The guy in front of him looked very weak at first glance, but even if he was replaced by someone who was not so weak, it should be very uncomfortable to suffer these two punches.

Xiang Zhiyuan finally knew how the disciplinary notice that had not been torn up on the bulletin board came from.

If according to his own thinking, the guy in front of him really needs a beating, his mouth smells like it was fished out of a cesspit, he would like to punch him twice if he can, but Yuan Xu can't.Only a few steps away is the backstage of the music festival. Nightmare is officially invited to participate with a name and surname. The organizer knows Yuan Xu's name and age clearly, and if something happens, it can be stabbed to the school immediately.

Of course he didn't want this kind of thing to happen, he hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Yuan Xu's shoulder, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't cause trouble, you can't be punished anymore."

Yuan Xu waved his hand away, apparently in a rage he couldn't listen at all.

Ding Yi on the ground reluctantly groped for his mobile phone, and finally found it out, but was kicked by him, and the mobile phone flew out of his hand again.

"Yes, my father is a murderer." Yuan Xu said expressionlessly, the street lamp was pale, and the half of his face outside the shadow was illuminated white, but it failed to blur his black and white eyes, "he I’m already in jail, and I’ve already lost all the money that should be paid, what else should I do? Do I have to go to jail with him, or do I kowtow to the family members of the ‘victims’ every day to admit my mistakes, and my father and son will pay their debts to them?”

Ding Yi was beaten so badly that he couldn't speak for a while. He just felt that this teenager was completely different from the kid behind the teacher in his memory. He was no longer cowardly or naive, like A sharpened dagger could poke holes in him at any time.

"Yuan Shiwen did it to save people. What about the girl he saved? Did you stand up and take even a small amount of responsibility?" Yuan Xu asked again, "He paid the price for his actions, so what are you? , stand here and judge him?"

"... Yuan Xu."

Ding Yi hung a lot of metal ornaments on his body. When Yuan Xu beat him just now, his right hand was cut in several places, and now it is bleeding.Xiang Zhiyuan couldn't help but grabbed his hand and used some strength, otherwise he couldn't guarantee whether Yuan Xu could feel the pain.

But when he grabbed Yuan Xu's wrist, he realized that the other's empty hand was trembling slightly, and when he poked it down, his palm was covered in cold sweat.

There was thunder rumbling across the night sky, and then a bolt of lightning lit his face, and it was going to rain.

Ding Yi stopped talking, and tried to use his hands to reach the mobile phone, while staring at him defensively, looking at him like looking at a monster.

Yuan Xu picked up the backpack thrown on the ground, took one last look at him, and let Xiang Zhiyuan pull him to turn around and leave.

Seeing blood on his hand, it would not be good to go out like this. Xiang Zhiyuan didn't have a band-aid on his body, so he had to wrap Yuan Xu's clenched fist hand in his palm, and didn't let go until he went out the other door.

Yuan Xu didn't ask him why he came to find him, and he didn't explain what happened just now. He let him pull him silently, and when he was released, he just stood there without saying a word, ignoring anyone.

"We've ordered a car, we'll be there soon." Xiao Ai said, keenly noticing Yuan Xu's hand injury, and hurriedly took out a band-aid from her bag, "What's going on? You guys went to fight?"

This was Yuan Xu's secret, of course Xiang Zhiyuan would not take the initiative to reveal it, he shook his head, only said that a little accident had happened, and then took the band-aid and put it on Yuan Xu's wound.

"The location is reserved. When the car arrives, you go to order food first. I will take him to a pharmacy to buy disinfectant."

"The wound is a bit deep... are you all right? How about I follow?"

Xiao Ai stared at the wound a little worriedly.

She also saw that Yuan Xu's mood was not right. Fortunately, although he refused to speak up, he was still obedient. Xiang Zhiyuan should be able to handle it by himself, and it seemed useless for them to follow the past without knowing the reason.So she forcibly grabbed Yu Ziliang who was going to follow, and the three of them got on the car to the hot pot restaurant first, leaving room for the two of them to talk empathetically.

Xiang Zhiyuan fiddled with the phone for a while, then put it down quickly, and said to him in a low voice: "I took a taxi, and I will find a pharmacy to clean the wound and then bandage it again..."

"Xiang Zhiyuan." Yuan Xu called to him.

"Ok?"

"You now know what I didn't say that day."

He was referring to the night at the riverside, when he said a lot of things, but they were basically his own thoughts, without involving any truth about his father.

Originally, after a while, they would know more or less sooner or later, but Yuan Xu was relieved to be bumped into by Xiang Zhiyuan in this way.

At least he doesn't have to try to organize his words, and continue to hesitate whether to tell the other party "My dad is out of prison, I am very worried about him, and I decided to go back to Ningdu to live with him for a while", which is a bit difficult to say.

Xiang Zhiyuan understood what he meant and smiled helplessly.

"Actually, I always thought your father was sick, but I didn't expect it to be like this." He didn't hide his true thoughts, and said frankly, "It's not like I know the truth now, if I can, I still want to hear from you explain."

After all, what he heard from other people were all one-sided words, only what Yuan Xu himself said, he would accept everything verbatim.

"What's the difference?" Yuan Xu asked him, "The fact that I am the son of a murderer won't change just because of who said it."

He was digging into a dead end, so Xiang Zhiyuan had to use a tougher attitude: "No matter who you are, you are you to me, understand?"

"I know, I didn't say you underestimated me, I just stated the facts." Yuan Xu smiled, and looked at a car approaching the intersection not far away, "Is that the car you took, let's go."

After asking about the cause of the injury, the pharmacy brought them disinfectant and cotton swab gauze tape, and told them not to touch the water when taking a bath at night.Xiang Zhiyuan responded one by one, and after the pharmacist helped disinfect Yuan Xu's wound, he put everything into his bag.

"...The medicine seems to be for me." Yuan Xu couldn't help but say.

Xiang Zhiyuan asked back: "Can you wrap your right hand with your left hand before taking a bath?"

It seems right.

When they arrived at the coconut chicken hot pot that Xiang Zhiyuan had ordered, the soup had been gurgling for a long time, but none of the three people at the table ate, and the dishes they ordered were all placed on the table.Xiao Ai chewed the rice crust sent by the hot pot restaurant and waved to Yuan Xu: "Come and see, is the wound okay?"

Yuan Xu looked much better, no matter his mood or the wound on his hand.He comforted Xiao Ai with his usual expression, and explained to everyone: "Just now I met someone I knew in Ningdu before, and there was a dispute. It's nothing serious, don't worry."

"It doesn't seem like a big deal to you, it looks like you lost your soul." Yu Ziliang said in a cold tone, "Don't hide anything from us, how can you not worry?"

Su Ran took off the earphones, looked at the nose, nose, and heart, and said in a timely manner: "When they come, hurry up and get the food, the chicken soup will be boiled dry in a while."

The hot pot restaurant adheres to the fine traditions of southern cities, and its business hours are until two o'clock in the morning, comparable to Haidilao.They only ate some dry bread for a few nights to deal with it, all of them came hungry, each of them drank a bowl of chicken soup and started to scramble meat and vegetables, halfway through eating, Xiang Zhiyuan looked at the dishes he had ordered before Not enough, and added a few dishes and desserts according to the review website.

They came late, and it was almost closing time after eating, so they returned to the reserved hotel in two cars, Su Ran sent Xiao Ai to her room first, and Yu Ziliang followed Xiang Zhiyuan and Yuan Xu to the 12th floor.

Before parting, Yu Ziliang said goodnight to Yuan Xu, and asked, "Are you all right?"

"I'm fine." Yuan Xu reluctantly pulled out the room card and opened the door, "Go back quickly, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."

Xiang Zhiyuan played the role of a deaf-mute throughout the whole process. After entering the room and closing the door, he said with emotion: "It's the first time I've seen Yu Ziliang trying to care about someone in such a big age."

And at first glance, he was not a skilled worker. After making [-] excuses, he could only ask "Are you all right?"

Yuan Xu was squatting on the ground looking through his schoolbag for a change of clothes, and when he heard this, he also smiled: "Actually, he cares about us, but he doesn't know how to express it."

He found his clothes, stood up with his arms in his arms, walked to Xiang Zhiyuan, and stretched out his injured hand towards him.Xiang Zhiyuan was stunned for two seconds, then lowered his head and took out the gauze tape and the plastic wrap he asked for at the front desk downstairs from his backpack, and wrapped Yuan Xu's hand clumsily.

He didn't learn the pharmacist's bandaging technique at all, and the result of the wrapping was like a rice dumpling. Yuan Xu couldn't laugh or cry, pressed his hand with his free hand, and explained: "Wrap it with gauze, and wrap it in plastic wrap again. Layers are fine."

Xiang Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed: "I just listened carefully, and didn't look carefully at how they wrapped it."

In fact, all the attention was on Yuan Xu, but he didn't pay attention to how that hand was treated. Fortunately, he still talked nonsense and wanted to help him bandage, but in the end, he forgot everything, only remembering the way Yuan Xu stared at Ding just now .

Fortunately, he stopped him, otherwise something would have happened today.
