planetary deflection

After wrapping his hands, Yuan Xu went into the bathroom to take a shower, Xiang Zhiyuan fiddled outside for a while, chose the bed next to the door for himself, took out his pajamas and put them on the bed, and sat on the sofa to call Jiang Ning.

Affected by the time difference, it is daytime on the opposite side, but Jiang Ning picked up after a long time, his voice was a bit vague: "...Why are you calling me at this time?"

"Why are you sleeping at this time?" Xiang Zhiyuan was taken aback.

"I didn't sleep well last night, so I slept a little longer today." Jiang Ning yawned and asked him, "What's wrong with you, shouldn't it be bedtime now?"

The sound of Yuan Xu taking a bath came from the bathroom, Xiang Zhiyuan organized his speech, and finally picked and said some important parts that did not involve privacy.

"I accidentally broke one of his secrets, and he doesn't look angry, at least not at me." He recalled Yuan Xu's expression when he said "I am the son of a murderer", and couldn't help frowning , "I'm worried about him, and I don't have the position to say anything more, so I feel panicked."

"Aren't friends a good position?" Jiang Ning said.

It might work for something else, but this one...

Xiang Zhiyuan shook his head: "I don't know, I'm afraid he will think I'm meddling."

If Yuan Xu is unwilling to tell him, then he is not even qualified to know what happened.He didn't want to gamble on this possibility, but if he didn't gamble, this matter might just pass away, and it would be difficult for him to have the opportunity to listen to what Yuan Xu had to say in the future.

"Since it's something that makes you feel so embarrassed, tell him directly." Jiang Ning didn't give him any advice casually, "What can I do for you if you don't communicate face to face?"

Xiang Zhiyuan was silent for a moment, and had to admit that the little uncle was right.

He ended the call before Yuan Xu came out of the shower, dozed off on the back of the sofa, and was awakened by the other party's appearance when Yuan Xu came out: "Why do you still wash your hair with your hand hurt?"

"Before playing, Xiao Ai helped me grab my hair with hairspray, and I couldn't sleep without washing it."

With a towel on his head, Yuan Xu wiped his hair with his free left hand, and raised his right hand awkwardly, Xiang Zhiyuan grabbed him and carefully removed the plastic wrap and gauze.

The wound was no longer bleeding, and there was a thin layer of membrane on it that felt like it would break if touched. It was a little red and swollen, but it didn't look like a serious problem.Xiang Zhiyuan stared at it for a while, and then told Yuan Xu: "Don't move around, wait for me for 10 minutes, and then blow dry your hair."

It took him less than 10 minutes to take a shower, basically he just washed it casually, dried himself, put on his clothes, and rushed out to blow Yuan Xu's hair.Yuan Xu sat obediently and didn't move around, but he didn't understand that he was so nervous. Seeing him coming out of the bathroom as if he was in a hurry to go to the market, he wondered, "I didn't move, why are you in such a hurry?"

Holding the hair dryer in his hand, Xiang Zhiyuan scratched his head like a fool, feeling a little funny to himself.

"I'm afraid that if you try your best, you'll break your hand again." He explained helplessly.

Yuan Xu sat cross-legged on the bed, two legs were exposed in the loose trousers of the shorts, and the length was still considerable when bent. He was probably really sleepy, so he waved to Zhiyuan lazily and said, "Come here, the sheets will be torn I got wet."

To be honest, this sentence could easily cause ambiguity, but he had a pure face, and Xiang Zhiyuan couldn't think of any dirty waste, so he honestly went over to help him dry his hair.

The length of Yuan Xu's hair is within the allowed range of the school discipline, it probably hasn't been cut for a while, the bangs are a bit long, but it suits him well.Standing in front of him, Xiang Zhiyuan could see the two curls on top of Yuan Xu's head and the part of his neck exposed from the neckline when he lowered his head. He felt guilty and lightened the force on his hair.

The quality of the hotel's hair dryer is impressive, and the decibels are a bit loud. Fortunately, the wind is not very hot, and it's okay to blow it for a long time.

"Do you want to sit down?" Yuan Xu looked up at him.

Xiang Zhiyuan paused, and looked down at him.

"No, it will be fine soon."

Yuan Xu stopped talking, looked down at the phone, probably replying a message to someone, typing with his left hand, and propped his right hand on the bed, looking defenseless.

After Xiang Zhiyuan had blown his hair almost dry, he asked him if he had a comb while winding up the hair dryer, Yuan Xu raised his hand and grabbed his hair twice, and said casually: "You don't need to comb, this will do it .”

Xiang Zhiyuan put away the hair dryer and sat down to find that he was sweating all over after blowing it. The air conditioner seemed to be turned on and off. If Yuan Xu was not watching, he would have to take a shower again.

"Are you sleepy?" Yuan Xu turned to ask him.

Xiang Zhiyuan shook his head.

It's true that he wasn't sleepy, he had blown himself awake, and now he couldn't fall asleep even if he was lying on the bed.

Yuan Xu wasn't sleepy either, he put his pillow upright and leaned against the head of the bed, and turned off the headlights in the room with a "snap", leaving only the wall lamp between the two beds, and decided on the activities of the two of them tonight : "Then let's chat."

Xiang Zhiyuan didn't expect that he was willing to continue the chat, and he took the initiative to ask for it.

"Talk... about your father?" He asked tentatively.

"It's all right, if you want to know." Yuan Xu said, "You can also talk about your family. Aunt Jiang is such a nice person. Your family must be very interesting."

Talking about Jiang Jing right now is of course meaningless, Xiang Zhiyuan has a lot to ask, and after typing out the draft for a long time, the first thing that pops up is another question that was not mentioned today.

"So you have already decided that you have to go back to Ningdu next semester?"

Yuan Xu leaned on one pillow, hugged the other as a hug pillow, put himself in a comfortable position, and then said, "Not yet, they all disagree, including my dad."

"Are you worried about affecting your studies?"

"It's all right. My mother should have told him about my situation in the past two years. She thinks that I have managed to live a little more easily in No. [-] Middle School. She hopes that I can continue to stay in Rongshi. It is best to let my father come with me. Come here, anyway, he can no longer be a teacher, and the new environment will make him feel better."

"He's a teacher?" Xiang Zhiyuan was a little surprised.

Of course he heard Ding Yi's "Teacher Yuan", but he thought he was mocking Yuan Xu, but he didn't expect it to be the real teacher.

People's teachers have been imprisoned for murder, and it is indeed impossible to return to their old jobs after being released from prison.

"Yes, the middle school teacher is the best junior high school in Ningdu." Yuan Xu smiled, "He was a bit nosy. That year, he found a girl in the class whose grades had dropped. She was always restless during class. He stayed in the classroom until late, and his parents ignored him, so he went to talk to others on his own initiative, wanting to know what happened."

"and then?"

"Then he discovered that there was a little hooligan outside the school who had been pestering this girl. He pretended to be pursuing her, but in fact he was always blocking her on the road and harassing her many times. There was no real harm, and the police didn't care. , The girl has an older brother at home, and her parents don’t bother to take care of her at all. They planned to let her go to work after graduating from junior high school. The girl knew that there was no way to ask for help, so she never told anyone.”

"Your father must have tried to help her."

"Yeah, he sent the girl home, and then got into a conflict with the hooligan. The man insisted on taking the girl away, calling him 'what's the matter with poor teachers', and brought a knife, and he was about to stab her when he came up." When Yuan Xu told it, he was very calm. This story would not hurt him anymore. "During the dispute, my father took the knife and stabbed him. He bled profusely. The rescue failed and he died."

Xiang Zhiyuan didn't know what to say, and felt that nothing was right at this time.

"Excessive defense, negligence causing death, three years in prison, which is considered light." Yuan Xu smiled, "I came out almost at the time of the Chinese New Year, and I want to go back and spend the New Year with him."

From Xiang Zhiyuan's point of view, he felt that Yuan Xu's idea of ​​going back to accompany his father was understandable, but to be honest, he was not optimistic about Yuan Xu's father's situation in Ningdu after he was released from prison.

"In fact, what your mother said is also reasonable. If he stays in Ningdu in such a situation, there may be many mad dogs like Ding Yi biting him. Maybe it would be better for him to live in a different environment and start over."

"I know," Yuan Xu nodded, "that's what he thought when I divorced my mother, let us get as far away as possible, so as not to be wronged in a small place. As a result, he would rather stay In Ningdu, I didn’t want to let me be dragged down with him. At first I proposed to go back to Ningdu to live with him just to let him come to Rongshi, but he refused, so I can only really go back. "

"Have you had a good talk with him?"

"We talked and quarreled, and my mobile phone was dropped during the quarrel."

The last time he went back to Ningdu, he went to visit the prison to discuss this matter, but ended up breaking up badly. His mother was very sad, and the others might not be all right.

"How should I put it... I completely understand your thoughts, and I can also understand Uncle's thoughts. In my opinion, all you need is an opportunity to be honest with each other." Xiang Zhiyuan said after deliberation, "He really needs a dog now. Pull him back into society's hand, but if that hand were you, he would choose to run away because he loves you."

"I'm afraid that if no one is with him, he will be even more depressed and degenerate."

Yuan Xu said in a low voice.

The light from the wall lamp is soft and not very bright. The two of them share a bed, and neither of them can see the expression on the other's face.Xiang Zhiyuan couldn't help but think, Yuan Xu seemed to be about to cry, but he was so strong, he shouldn't be able to cry.

Under such circumstances, he really couldn't tell Yuan Xu not to leave, so he could only hint in a roundabout way: "I may not be able to help much, but if uncle is willing to come to Rongshi, let my parents help him find a new one suitable for him." It shouldn't be hard work."

"Thank you." Yuan Xu said, "But he probably won't come, I can only rely on me to force him."

"...your mother, what about her?"

"She and Uncle Fang are fine now, and I don't want her to run around anymore. So if I want to go back to Ningdu, I should go back by myself." He said as if thinking of something, and explained to Zhiyuan Said, "Uncle Fang is my dad's college classmate. After they divorced, he helped our family a lot and never asked for anything. Later, my dad came forward to match them up."

Pushing his lover and children farther and farther with his own hands, how would he feel?Yuan Xu is unknown.

He only knew that he wanted to pull that person out of the quagmire called guilt, and let him return to the sun, and become that gentle and firm father.

"Can you understand me?" He asked Xiang Zhiyuan in a low voice.

"Of course." Xiang Zhiyuan replied.

It was precisely because he could understand that, facing the current Yuan Xu, he couldn't say "don't go".
