Curve driving

Xie Hang just sat at the desk calmly, observing the second half of the class like a supervisor.

After hanging up the video call, Xie Zhou packed up the test papers and said, "Restrain yourself."

Xie Hang saw that Ji Sinian sent over a time and address, it was a hotel on the west side of the business district: "What restraint."

Xie Zhou had already walked to the door of the study with the book in his arms. Hearing this, he stopped and looked at him deeply.

Xie Hang was still facing the desk, and his eyes didn't know where it fell, maybe it was on the medicine box in the corner, and there was a circle of tiny scars on the exposed ankle, which looked like a black anklet tattoo from a distance.

Xie Zhou just glanced at it and turned his head away, as if it was something dazzling.

There was a moment of pain on her expression. Facing the dark living room, she seemed to be able to speak more smoothly without seeing Xie Hang: "You need a friend, brother, whether it's a boyfriend or an ordinary friend, you can't Always separate your world from other people's."

After opening a head, the next words are much easier to say.Xie Zhou spoke slowly: "I know you are worried that if one day you get sick, your friends will be hurt. But why let things that may not happen overwhelm your current life? If you spend your whole life You won’t get sick, so you just muddle along for the rest of your life? You’re a sunk cost.”

Xie Hang chuckled as if he was very tired: "This is not a sunk cost, if your teacher hears about it, you will fail your subject."

As soon as he heard his words, he knew that he was talking about the topic. It was like this every time. Xie Hang was so stubborn and self-closing that he couldn't listen to other people's words.

Or... He listened to it all, but he just couldn't convince himself to accept it.

Xie Zhou tugged on his slippers angrily and walked away: "Duplicity, you don't want to make friends and you take the initiative to provoke others."

She took two steps and came back, and angrily patted the door of the study: "If you don't want to have a deep friendship, don't provoke others. If you are a scumbag and someone finds you and strips you naked, we will sever our brother-sister relationship."

"Got it, got it." Xie Hang was dizzy from her noise, so he hurriedly responded.

Xie Zhou finally stopped talking to him.

The night was falling outside the window, he was leaning against the shadow of the chair, Shen Rong's medical records were pressed at the bottom of the open drawer.

Xie Hang never felt that this kind of life out of the crowd was unbearable, like a child who only eats salt since birth does not know what sweetness is, so even if Xie Zhou tried to enlighten him countless times, he was still indifferent, not because Unwilling to change, just unable to start.

After a long time, he will naturally "get by". It seems that he doesn't need to "integrate", doesn't need friends, and doesn't need anyone to understand.

But he had a strong urge to take that step today.

These days, the contact between most people is so weak that there is only one phone number left. It is so fragile that it is difficult to find it once the mobile phone is turned off.

For the first time in this kind of alienated interpersonal relationship, he was afraid of missing out. He wanted to strengthen the connection with Ji Sinian layer by layer. He didn't have enough driving tests, enough remedial classes, and needed more.

Maybe it was because of the barbecue, or maybe it was because of the distance between them on the road. He was a little drunk from the coke that day, and he wanted to break the rules once.

— make a friend.

There was a shower the next day, summer rain always comes in torrential downpours, without any warning before it rains, it pours earth-shatteringly for a few minutes and then stops.

Xie Hang felt that he was so unlucky that it rained as soon as he went out, and the raindrops hit the top of the umbrella like pouring rice on his head. After finally walking into the subway station, it cleared up, and when he got to the hotel station, he walked out of the subway and it started to rain again. rain.

He stood at the exit and held an umbrella. He was afraid that water would drip in the room when he closed the umbrella before, so he put it in a plastic bag on purpose. However, when he pulled out the umbrella, all the water droplets flew out and fell all over his body.

Xie Hang sighed as he walked out, during which time he even found time to reply a message.

Ji Sinian: Don't forget.

Xie Hang: I did not forget.

Ji Sinian sent a smiley emoticon pack of Xiao Lan.

This hotel is quite luxurious, when Xie Hang walked in, at least five waiters came up to greet him.Sitting on the sofa in the lobby, he sent a voice message to Ji Sinian: "I'm here, in black clothes and pants, tell him he can see me as soon as he gets out of the elevator."

After a while, Ji Sinian also replied a voice note.

"You should be robbing banks with your outfit."

The three-second audio was played quickly, and Xie Hang clicked on it to listen again.

The person who came down to give the souvenir book was Zhou Yingfan.As soon as the elevator door opened, he recognized the man in black on the sofa. Zhou Yingfan specially put on hairspray today, dressed like a dog, and walked over in small leather shoes.

He stopped just a few steps closer, slightly incredulous: "Xie Hang?"

He looked up and down, and made sure that Xie Hang was the "black suit and black trousers" that Ji Sinian mentioned.

"Why... you?" Zhou Yingfan looked very surprised, but he managed to calm down and put on a polite smile, "Long time no see, how are you doing?"

Xie Hang said with a calm face that remained motionless even after the end of the world: "Long time no see."

He reached out to take the souvenir book in Zhou Yingfan's hand.

Only then did Zhou Yingfan remember Xie Hang's purpose, and his eyebrows furrowed suddenly, as if he realized that his face had changed too quickly, and quickly changed back to a smiling face: "Old Ji asked you to come? Hahaha when did you two get along so well?" I don't even know."

Xie Hang looked up at him.

His eyes were too distant, Zhou Yingfan unconsciously let go of his hand, and the souvenir book was already in Xie Hang's hands.

He turned to leave, but was stopped by Zhou Yingfan: "It's raining outside, do you want to sit up?"

I also know that it is just a polite word, the upstairs is their classmate reunion, why should he go as an outsider.

"What... what happened to Lao Ji's leg? I heard it was injured?" Zhou Yingfan "that" took a long time to come up with a question, and he was able to continue the conversation.

Xie Hang said concisely, "There was a car accident."

Zhou Yingfan: "..."

One-sided enthusiasm can't support the scene, Xie Hang really didn't give face at all.

In fact, the two of them have known each other since their sophomore year of high school.

At that time, Zhou Yingfan was studying chemistry competition, and because of his good grades, the school pushed him to the provincial team. He was Xie Hang whom he met in the training camp.

Xie Hang has always been the top student in the camp, scoring the highest marks in both the written test and the experiment. Zhou Yingfan wanted to talk to him and make friends from the first day he entered the camp, but he usually talked less and didn't fit in with others. The dormitories are far away, and the high school is not in the same school, so I didn't know much about it until the end.

But Xie Hang knew that Zhou Yingfan often brought him out to brag about how many powerful people he had met in the training camp, as if he had a sense of superiority after returning from this training camp, and he no longer looked down on his classmates at work.

——After listening to Ji Sinian's supplementary explanation, he felt that Zhou Yingfan's words were mostly for Ji Sinian.

But it seemed that Ji Sinian didn't take this low-level provocation seriously.

"Had a car accident? Is he okay?" Zhou Yingfan had nothing to say, and kept talking around their only topic, "Everyone is very concerned about him today."

Xie Hang remembered that Ji Sinian said that day, "He couldn't be secretly in love with me", and couldn't help laughing in a low voice.

He put the souvenir book in his messenger bag: "He's fine. If there's nothing else, I'll go first."

"I'll see you off." Zhou Yingfan said immediately.

"No, I'm still waiting for you upstairs." Xie Hang politely said goodbye, "Please come down, I'm leaving."

Zhou Yingfan wanted to say something else, but Xie Hang had already turned around and walked towards the revolving door.

He suddenly remembered that after Yao Jia mentioned Ji Sinian's leg injury in the group that day, he seemed to mention that the encounter at that time was at the snack street, where he had dinner with his friends.

...Dinner with Xie Hang?

When did the two of them meet?

Zhou Yingfan couldn't suppress his comparability once he was overwhelmed. Zhou Yingfan suddenly felt that this bright and beautiful suit was for nothing. This afternoon's peacock-like performance was like a clown.

He didn't even ask for Xie Hang's WeChat!

The waiter pushed the revolving door, and the humid and hot air slowly replaced the air-conditioning in the hotel lobby. The rain outside had stopped, and the sun seemed to be shining in the sky, and it probably wouldn't rain again today.

Xie Hang hid the puddle on the ground, walked towards the subway station, pressed the voice bar: "Shall I send it to you now or next time?"

Before he pressed the lock screen, Ji Sinian's message popped up: "I can do whatever is convenient for you."

Xie Hang basically doesn't send voice messages usually, he knows that most people prefer to receive text messages, but today he wants to send them for no reason, his motives are not pure, he wants to trick Ji Sinian's voice into listening.

It's kind of magical, it seems to make him feel better.

He said, "Then I'll go now."

"can."

Xiaolan's bouncing emoticon pack.

"Is it something Zhou Yingfan personally gave you?" Ji Sinian asked.

Once I accepted the setting of "he couldn't be in love with me secretly", all the conversations involving Zhou Yingfan became funny.Xie Hang smiled and said, "Yes, he dressed very carefully today."

After he finished speaking, he sent another one: "Ask about your injury, he really cares about you."

Ji Sinian raised several decibels: "Get out!"

The next one couldn't help laughing again: "It's a good thing I didn't go, so I don't have to watch his peacock spread its tail. Thank you for your hard work. Today's heavy rain is because I am crying for you."
