Difficult to heal

The pain in his head exploded, Lu Shu stood in a long corridor, top-heavy and light-footed.

He helped the wall beside him, but he was suddenly frozen. The wall emitted a gloomy cold white light, the temperature was strangely low, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant, which was strong and choking.

Lu Shu walked a few steps forward, and a fluorescent light suddenly lit up at the end of the dark corridor. The fluorescent light fluctuated up and down, and slowly converged to one place, getting brighter and brighter, and gradually outlined a figure.

The figure was inexplicably familiar, and Lu Shu wanted to get closer, but found that there seemed to be an invisible barrier in front of him, blocking the way, and he couldn't move at all.

He squinted hard, trying to figure out who that person was.

Seeing that moment clearly, he couldn't believe it, and subconsciously shouted at the figure: "...Xu Qinjiang?!"

"Brother! Chu Qinjiang!" He shouted again, "Is that you?"

The figure turned around slowly, revealing Xiu Qinjiang's face.

He smiled lightly, walked over slowly, stood in front of Lu Shu, and said, "Yan, you are finally here."

Lu Shu was stunned: "What are you doing here?"

"Wait for you."

Xiu Qinjiang lowered his head, his slender and thick eyelashes drooped down, the bridge of his nose was just right, his lines were soft, his skin was fair and flawless, and his facial features looked more refined than usual.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." He raised his hand and held Lu Shu's face, his tone was a little seductive, "Don't you like me, why don't you come to me?"

Lu Shu's whole body was stiff, as if he was fixed in place by something, and he couldn't look away at all.

He watched Xuan Qinjiang get closer and closer, and after a while, he tilted his head and kissed him.

The temperature in the cold and dark corridor gradually rose, becoming steaming and stuffy. A layer of mist floated on the white walls. Someone's hand pressed down, leaving clear and slender finger marks.

The surroundings are completely silent, quiet and secretive, and the air reverberates with tiny panting sounds from time to time.

........

Lu suddenly opened his eyes.

My first reaction was a headache. It felt like someone had copied an electric drill and was doing crazy work in my head. The pain was so painful that I wanted to hit the wall.

Then he became thirsty after he realized it, and his throat seemed to be smoldering, and he felt dry in bursts.

Lu Shu propped himself up from the ground, and out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of Tang Xingchen who was still unconscious on the sofa. His thoughts froze for a few seconds, and he wanted to fetch water for a drink, but when he just took a step, his body froze suddenly.

After a while, he tugged on his trouser legs.

The lingering sticky feeling between his legs reminded him how ridiculous and shameful the dream just now was.

Lu Shu looked embarrassed, his face darkened, he pulled a towel and walked into the bathroom.

It was less than seven o'clock after I got out of the shower, and the hangover pain eased a bit.

He got a piece of toast and a can of milk from the refrigerator, and before entering the room, he threw a thin blanket over Tang Xingchen, who was sleeping heavier than a pig, to prevent someone from getting a cold after being half-drunk.

After breakfast, I picked up my phone, only to realize it was out of battery.

Just after charging and turning on the phone, a series of missed calls and messages popped up.

Lu Shu's right eyelid twitched twice.

It's over, I forgot to report safety.

After clicking on it, Xiu Qinjiang was really angry.

Judging from the piles of news and the question marks that followed, it can be predicted that the consequences will be serious.

Lu Shu first tried to send a message of his arrival home, trying to find out the direction of the wind, but the other side was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.

But judging from the time, it is estimated that he has not woken up yet.

After thinking about it, he wondered if he should just make a phone call and apologize.

Just thinking about it for two seconds, the phone rang, and there was only one word on the caller ID—Brother.

Lu Shu immediately picked it up, without confidence: "...Hello."

Fortunately, Xiu Qinjiang's tone sounded calm: "Are you awake?"

"Yeah." Lu Shu was quite guilty, "Last night...it was too late, so I didn't send a message because I was afraid of disturbing you."

"Afraid of disturbing me?" Xuan Qinjiang said lightly, "Didn't you forget?"

Lu Shu: "No, actually..."

"Yan, don't lie, it's not for you."

"..."

It's only been a month since I saw him, but his brother's sense of oppression is already so strong?

"I'm sorry." Lu Shu has always been very sensible, and he is even more sensible when he is in front of the person he likes. He said sincerely, "I made you worry."

"How much did you drink?" Xu Qinjiang asked.

"... There are several bottles of miscellaneous things, the exact number, I forgot."

"More than that, drunk like that, a dozen bottles?"

Lu Shu was startled: "You..."

Xiu Qinjiang sent a video over and said slowly, "You should be lucky that there are security guards in the duty room."

Lu Shu clicked on it, the video was very dark, only a little light from the street lamp next to it, and there were two crooked protagonists standing in it, it was him and Tang Xingchen.

It was filmed when they first entered the community. In the video, the security guards stopped the two of them and asked several times if anyone called Lu Shu, but they were so drunk that they didn't even answer questions, let alone answering questions. It is good to have someone carry it in on the ground.

The security guard was speechless and had no choice but to send the person to the door of the house before leaving.

As for the above things, Lu Shu had no impression at all.

Hu Qinjiang's voice sounded beside her ear: "Otherwise, what you saw today would be Auntie."

"..."

thank you.

"Did you call the security room?" Lu Shu touched his nose.

Xiu Qinjiang: "Yes."

"You haven't slept all night?"

"Do you have a headache?"

Both sides spoke at the same time, and suddenly fell silent again.

A few seconds later, the two sides laughed together, the laughter was suppressed in the throat, and the corners of the mouth could not stop rising.

After laughing nonchalantly for a long time, Lu Shu cleared his throat and said first, "I took a shower, it's okay."

In fact, it was not very comfortable. My head was dizzy with swelling, and I was dizzy and painful. It was not ordinary discomfort.

But he just ignored it because he was only interested in observing Chu Qinjiang's mood.

Xu Qinjiang said: "Will you make hangover soup?"

Lu Shu's tone rose: "Why didn't you follow the rules? It's your turn, answer the question."

That video must have been shot at almost three o'clock in the morning. Now it's past six o'clock in the morning, and Xiu Qinjiang's voice sounds sober. It doesn't look like he just woke up, and he probably stayed up all night.

"I can't sleep." Xu Qinjiang didn't hide anything, and said frankly, "I'm afraid something will happen to you."

Lu Shu was slightly taken aback, and then said sorry again.

"Next time, it can't be like this." Xiu Qinjiang said.

Lu Shu: "...not anymore."

Then he went on to talk about other random things, and Xiu Qinjiang asked Tang Xingchen what was going on, and Lu Shu said that he was kicked out of the house, and from today on, he will be abusive in society and eat a lot of food.

Xuan Qinjiang said in a serious tone, hurry up and collect the accommodation fee, there will be no chance if you don't cheat at this time.

The two laughed again.

Before hanging up the phone, Lu Shu was putting his phone away when he heard Xiu Qinjiang ask, "What is... going the wrong way?"

Caught off guard by the question, Lu Shu's smile stopped abruptly.

My mind started to feel dizzy again. When I heard this sentence, my thoughts seemed to be pulled back to the moment last night again, and it reminded me of that unspeakable and absurd dream for no reason.

It wasn't until Xiu Qinjiang called him several times that Lu Shu came back to his senses in a daze.

My head seems more dizzy——

"Wait a little longer." Lu Shu said.

His eyes shifted to the bookshelf, and on the bookshelf was the diary given by Su Qinjiang, with a torn page of "review" inside.

It was there that all his base and unreasonable thoughts were hidden.

As the years go by, someone is yearning for it all the time.

"When you come back," Lu Shu said, "I'll tell you myself."

—

When he woke up again, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and Lu Shu was so hungry that he lost consciousness.

Humbly getting up from the bed and walking into the living room, a scent of fragrance hits his face.

"Hey, are you awake?" A homeless young master was eating a bowl of fish meal happily, "Come, come, come and eat, it's still hot."

Lu Shu stepped forward, the table was full of food, steamed, fried, boiled and fried, and he sat down to eat without saying a word.

It wasn't until the bottom of a bowl of beef stewed noodles that Lu Shu felt revived, so he cheered up and asked, "Can you make hangover soup?"

"Hangover soup?" Tang Xingchen said contemptuously, "Would I need that thing?"

"I didn't let you drink." Lu Shu said, "My brother...Xu Qinjiang asked me to get some to drink."

Tang Xingchen came to his senses: "Oh... yes, it's the first time you drank so much, right? You need to sober up. I also drank too much last night, and I don't even remember how I brought you back. "

Lu Shu was expressionless: "I brought you back, thank you."

"Really?" The other party was surprised, "You drink so well?"

"Stop talking nonsense, how do you get hangover soup?"

"I don't know," Tang Xingchen said bluntly, "I haven't drunk it."

Losing friends is unreliable, so Lu Shuan simply supported himself, searched the Internet, found a few simple ways to remove the troublesome steps of ingredients.

After a rough scan, white vinegar with brown sugar and ginger, white vinegar with honey, white vinegar with rock sugar... Lu Shu's expression gradually twisted.

Are you sure you can drink it?

Turning off the interface in a good manner, he felt that he didn't need to sober up.

Tang Xingchen smiled, "Why don't you watch it?"

Lu Shu glanced at him: "Have you drank?"

Tang Xingchen closed his mouth and buried himself in his food.

Lu Shu: "Oh."

The two of them worked together to sweep the entire table of food, as if they had never eaten in eight lifetimes, eating like a raging cloud.

While cleaning up the trash, Tang Xingchen said, "I'm going to live outside tonight."

"Hotel?" Lu Shu turned his head and asked.

"No, my cousin is back now, I'll stay with him for a few days."

Lu Shu teased: "Stay for a few days before killing back?"

"Oh no, how much did I tell you last night with the help of alcohol?" Tang Xingchen was annoyed and funny, "I fucking forgot all about it. After a dozen bottles of wine, it's like a dementia."

Lu Shu said regretfully: "The old bottom is completely gone."

Tang Xingchen gave up on himself: "Yes, haha."

"You really don't remember?"

"I don't remember, you want to give me memories?"

"No." Lu Shu was relieved, and Yun Danfeng said lightly, "It's nothing. I heard that you took a Chinese quintessence class. Teacher Tang has a lot of knowledge and benefited a lot."

Tang Xingchen: "..."

—

The seven-day vacation passed quickly, and the students had already entered the senior year of high school before they could react.

The intense first round of review began, half a month later, and on the eve of the official start of school, Lu Shuan ushered in the "Yunyi Cup" competition held by Yining City.

There are several events. He and Yue Zhuojun participated in the men's 65kg competition.

The schedule is divided into two days, the first day is the preliminary round and the semi-finals, and the second day is the final.

Lu Shu had just finished the semi-finals. At this time, he was standing next to the coach, and the two of them looked at the center of the field together.

Yue Zhuojun's game is in the third game, the current score is 3:4, match point.

He was one point behind the others, with only half a minute left on the clock.

The opponent was attacking fiercely, but he was more defensive. When the score fell behind, his psychological pressure soared, and his movements were a bit overwhelmed.

The opponent used forward kicks again and again, and Yue Zhuojun was forced to retreat step by step, and was about to step on the boundary line.

With ten seconds left, he stared nervously at his opponent.

At the same time, Lu Shu outside the field suddenly raised his hand and made a gesture.

Yue Zhuojun's eyes froze, the last five seconds!

The opponent gave up the attack and chose to retreat. He gritted his teeth, took advantage of the space and did a front flip while he was unprepared, and kicked the opponent's helmet.

The situation was reversed instantly, 5:4!

competition is over.

Yue Zhuojun jumped up excitedly, without taking off his helmet, he ran down a few steps and forcibly hugged Lu Shu.

"Senior brother! Senior brother! I won! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I won!"

Lu Shu retreated in disgust, and threatened, "If you sweat on me, you will be finished."

Yue Zhuojun wasn't afraid at all, he was immersed in joy and extremely excited.

The coach patted him on the head and said with a smile: "Don't be too happy, you will have to fight your brother in the finals."

The smile on Yue Zhuojun's lips faltered, and he immediately calmed down a bit, letting go of Lu Shu and solemnly begging: "Brother, be gentle tomorrow."

Lu Shu smiled: "What are you thinking?"

Yue Zhuojun laughed again: "Then I won't show mercy."

"En." Lu Shu nodded, "Come on."

"But senior brother," Yue Zhuojun said in a self-ashamed manner, "It was thanks to you just now, otherwise I really wouldn't have won."

The gesture that Lu Shu made before - the two fingers combined and slightly clasped inwards, was a habitual movement that Lu Shu asked him to practice front flips when they were training.

It was precisely because of this gesture that he was able to come back in the end.

Lu Shu didn't care much: "I made that gesture to remind you, but it doesn't mean you can't win without me."

Yue Zhuojun didn't understand: "Huh?"

"When people are nervous, they don't have so much time to think. The action is made subconsciously. You used a front flip when he backed up for a second. This is your muscle memory and brain reaction. My gesture is at most for you. Be confident, it has nothing to do with whether you win or not.”

Yue Zhuojun couldn't help being stunned.

This was the first time Lu Shu talked so much to him, and it seemed to be an explanation to make him not doubt his ability.

After a long while, he nodded resolutely, a little moved: "I understand, thank you brother."

Lu Shu hummed, but didn't say much.

Today's game is all over, Coach Qian told them to have a good rest at night, don't be nervous, and keep in the best condition.

When a few people got on the team bus and were about to go home, Yue Zhuojun suddenly had a urgency to urinate and ran down in a hurry, while Liang Cong, who had never made a sound, also expressed that he wanted to go to the toilet, and the two returned to the venue.

Lu Su felt something was wrong for no reason, and after greeting the coach, he followed.

As soon as he reached the door of the toilet, there was a loud bang, and Lu Shu's expression changed, and he rushed in.

I saw Yue Zhuojun fell to the ground and covered his ankle, grinning in pain, a bucket of water was poured beside him, and the cleaning lady went to help him helplessly.

And Liang Cong stood behind, watching all this calmly.
