back edge

Xie Jingnian sank into a depressive dream all night and couldn't escape.

He stood there blankly, looking at the stage eagerly.Chen Xi's lips opened and closed, but he couldn't hear a sound, and the colors in front of his eyes gradually blurred, and finally the frame was black and white.

He didn't wake up until the color appeared in his eyes, and he just heard the preset alarm ring last night.

There was a familiar white printed plastic bag on the table in the restaurant, inside it were the three steamed buns left by Chen Xi as usual, and a bag of soy milk, it was completely cold in his hand.There is still a bowl of tofu nao on the stove not far away.

Occasionally Chen Xi would take him to this restaurant for breakfast, it was cheap and delicious, it was very close downstairs.

He skipped the step of heating and finished the breakfast quietly.

The learning atmosphere in No. [-] Middle School has always been very good. I arrived at the class early, and there were already several people sitting scattered inside.

Xie Jingnian has long been used to other people's strange gazes for more than a month, and he doesn't care what is contained in these gazes.

The current situation only slightly magnified people's malice towards him - like someone accidentally poured hot water on him, although it didn't hurt him at all through the thick clothes, but Xie Jingnian's school uniform jacket Most of it was wet, and the sweater inside was not spared.

"Oh, I didn't notice."

He left a few words without guilt, and went back to the water dispenser to get a glass of cold water.When passing by Xie Jingnian again, he glanced sideways at him, and returned to his seat as if nothing had happened.

"You fucking eyeballs grew and your butt went up?" Jia Feichen saw this scene as soon as he entered the door. He dropped his schoolbag and walked towards the man in a daze. He kicked the table so hard that it hit the wall loudly. It must have attracted everyone's attention, "You won't even apologize?"

Xu Wen was shaken by Jia Feichen's yelling, and his glasses slipped from the bridge of his nose to his chin.Compared with Jia Feichen in front of him, he was small in stature, like an eagle holding a chick.

He put his glasses up in a panic, hugged his water glass tightly, and said stubbornly, "I didn't mean it, I just apologized too!"

"What do you call an apology? Can't say I'm sorry?" Jia Feichen blushed angrily and wanted to beat him up, "You didn't graduate from kindergarten or something, just leave it here and wait for me to teach you? "

Xie Jingnian took off his wet clothes in the toilet, held up his sleeves to wring out streams of water, and watched them swirl away along the drain of the sink.

"Same table at the same table." Jia Feichen chased after him, took a large roll of toilet paper in his hand, tore it off piece by piece and stuck it on Xie Jingnian's arm to absorb water, "Don't worry about it, he is just a pure Big idiot."

"Yeah." Xie Jingnian wasn't too bold at first.

Jia Feichen stuck him up like a plaster cast on his arm, and he still picked it up and stuck it on if it fell to the ground.

Xie Jingnian saw the dirty water on the ground when the toilet paper was picked up again, and hid in disgust: "Okay, don't waste paper."

"Oh." Jia Feichen stuffed the remaining paper roll into the pocket of his sweater, and continued to attack Xu Wen: "Who is this? He used to always copy your homework, but now he has this attitude?"

He was even more angry than the person involved, and the more he talked, the more angry he became, "With his virtue, he still serves as a school committee member. If it weren't for your unwillingness to be a member, there would be nothing wrong with him!"

Jia Feichen kept whispering in Xie Jingnian's ear that he was so angry that he was dead.He muttered in class, and also muttered after class. Xie Jingnian felt as if a Tang monk was sitting next to him, chanting like a curse until his head swelled.

Jia Feichen never asked Xie Jingnian whether he cheated or not, and why he cheated.I don't know whether to say that he trusts his deskmate, or that he is stupid.

Before, Zhuang Jie always said that if Jia Feichen was a dog, it must be Erha.

Xie Jingnian thought so too.

"No, what are you laughing at at the same table?" Jia Feichen probably muttered tiredly, took out his water glass and took a few sips.

"fine."

Xie Jingnian thought Xu Wen was just an accident, but only now did he realize that it was just the beginning of a malicious spread.

After class, a bunch of people from other classes gathered at the door of the class, holding on to the door frame and lining up all the way to the outer wall.If you can't see it, jump up and look in through the window.The focus of all eyes fell on Xie Jingnian.

"So it looks like this, and it's not very good-looking." The girl who spoke looked at it with a lack of interest, and then pulled the girl next to her to squeeze out of the crowd.

"What are you doing here to see him, a cheating dog, aren't you afraid of the eye of a needle?"

"Why hasn't he been fired yet?"

"I heard that his father was arrested for whoring and prostitution two days ago and went to the police!"

"Damn it, it's so disgusting?"

"It's true, it's true. His family is in the same neighborhood as mine. I saw it with my own eyes."

"There is a father who is a prostitute. How can he be a good person? No wonder he cheated."

"Why give him a scholarship? His grades are all obtained by cheating!"

……

It seemed that Xie Jingnian had suddenly become a popular figure in the whole school overnight, with so much to talk about, anyone could come up with a few words of ridicule.

When Zhuang Jie came back from the toilet, he was blocked by the crowd and shouted, "What are you doing? Are you sick and blocking the door of our class?"

The crowd dispersed immediately, and before leaving, they still didn't forget to say a few more words: "Sure enough, none of the class are good birds."

Now not only Jia Feichen muttered, Zhuang Jie also started chattering.

Xie Jingnian didn't care about these at first, because what they said was indeed the truth.

He had thought of many ways to get rid of Xie Laosan, and he felt that this was a stain in his life.But this stain is deeply imprinted in the skin and cannot be wiped off.

He didn't know how long Xie Laosan's influence on him would last.The only thing that is certain is that the person he most wants to hide is Chen Shi.

He didn't want Chen Xi to know his past, he didn't want Chen Xi to know his embarrassment, and he didn't want Chen Xi to know that he had such a father——

Xie Jingnian rarely gets his wish.

Chen Kui was called to the school again, this time he went directly to the principal's office.

There were several people sitting scattered in the room, and Xie Jingnian stood in the middle, with his head hanging down, his hands in his pockets clenched into fists, tightly clutching the lining of his clothes.

The headmaster's meaning is very clear.She felt that Xie Jingnian had a very bad impact on the whole school this time, and he must be punished.

No. [-] Middle School recently participated in the selection of the best middle schools in the country, and the school officials have repeatedly urged that nothing should go wrong at this stall, but the problem happened to Xie Jingnian.

Xie Jingnian has always been the top student in his grade group. He won a lot of scholarships, but he was caught cheating suddenly. He was not sure whether his previous grades were true. The principal said that he was good enough if he didn't withdraw the scholarship.

As Chen Xi walked all the way, he heard a lot of gossip, eight out of ten sentences were talking about Xie Jingnian.

He walked over and touched Xie Jingnian's head, and asked, "The bruise on the waist was bullied at school?"

Xie Jingnian nodded.

Chen Xiu habitually wanted to reach out his hand to embrace him, but his palm was wet: "How did you do it?"

"I was hit by someone." Xie Jingnian replied.

"Has he got eyes?" Chen Kui took off Xie Jingnian's coat, and put his own coat on him.

Xie Jingnian was surrounded by the familiar smell of tobacco on Chen Xi's body, and forgot everything: "Probably not long."

"Little idiot." Chen Yu scolded with a smile, "You won't fight back when people bully you?"

Xie Jingnian didn't dare to tell Chen Xi that the injury was actually kicked by the student's parents, he was afraid that Chen Xi would find someone to settle the score - although he felt that Chen Xi would not do it for him.

"I didn't have time." Xie Jingnian said, "I will definitely fight back next time."

"What a fart!" Chen Xi reached out his hand and slapped him on the head like iron, "Are you still waiting for someone to beat you?"

"Oh." Xie Jingnian rubbed his head and said with a smile, "Then I will run away before he wants to hit me."

"Exit."

Chen Xi stood by the side of the road and took a taxi, and sat in the back row with Xie Jingnian.

"Brother Xiu, do you still remember the first time we met?" Xie Jingnian nestled in the back seat, looking at Chen Xi's profile.

"Remember." Chen Xi said nonchalantly, "I'm afraid you'll get blood on me, and I have to wash my clothes when I go back, which is troublesome."

Xie Jingnian couldn't help laughing: "You were so fierce back then."

"Really." Chen Xi suddenly stretched out his arms to wrap around Xie Jingnian's waist, and rubbed his palms on his waist, "Does it still hurt?"

The distance between the two was shortened all of a sudden, Xie Jingnian panicked suddenly, and his ears started to feel hot: "It's okay."

"It hurts, it hurts, if it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt." Chen Xi said seriously.

Xie Jingnian was stunned for a long time, but finally he honestly said it hurts.

"I'll give you medicine when I get back."

"You don't need Brother Xiu! I'll do it myself." Xie Jingnian recalled the scene when Chen Xi applied medicine to him last time and his legs were still weak, so he didn't dare to try it a second time.

Chen Xi was noncommittal, didn't say anything, just responded in a low voice, and there was no further text.
