Diurnal

"Xiao Zhou."

The first time Ji Shizhou heard this title about him was in the second semester of his sophomore year.

Fang Ji called him tentatively, his tone was tentative, his eyes were tentative, he found it very novel, pointed to himself and asked, "Are you calling me?"

Fang Ji nodded, biting the dead skin on his lower lip with his teeth, "Is that okay?"

"up to you."

He often couldn't figure out what was going on in Fang Ji's head, just like he never thought that the other party would soften his attitude so quickly, just because he went to find him in the classroom that day, obviously he did it before that Many efforts failed to make Fang Ji let go of his guard.

In Ji Shizhou's eyes, the effort is to greet Fang Ji regardless of the occasion, get close to Fang Ji's sister, and follow Fang Ji.

Staying in Huadu for the whole winter vacation was not pleasant, but luckily Shi Qiong was not around, so there was only him and the new nanny at home.The new nanny was not as eloquent as the previous one. Ji Shizhou thought of her very accidentally. After all, she was the aunt who had been working at home since he was born. She had taken care of him for more than ten years. She was still there even after Ji Guohua left. The petty theft was caught by Ji Shizhou and fired.

Fang Ji seemed to be sleepy, so he yawned and asked Ji Shizhou when he would finish his painting. Ji Shizhou stopped his pen and said, "I won't draw anymore." Liu came to his home to be a model, and Fang Ji really came. According to the address Ji Shizhou gave, he took a bus for half an hour to the suburb where he had never been before.

After Ji Guohua made his fortune, he re-found a small duplex building near Li County. This is where Ji Shizhou lives now. It is not close to the school, but there is a direct bus.

Fang Ji couldn't be sure that he really came to the right place, so he called Ji Shizhou, but Ji Shizhou didn't get up at all, so he went downstairs to open the door for Fang Ji, and saw that he was facing away from him and facing the courtyard. A tree leaned against the door frame, closed its eyes and called out "Fang Ji" in a very sleepy manner.

When he opened his eyes again, Fang Ji was already in front of him.

During the whole winter vacation, he grew a lot taller. The body of a young boy who was originally thin was strong because of long-term exercise. After standing up straight, he could easily see the hair on the top of Fang Ji's head. Maybe it was even longer. He would be taller than Shi Yi. .

This idea popped up suddenly, his eyes swept to Fang Ji's back, it was rare to see Fang Ji carrying a backpack, "What's inside?"

Fang Ji began to bite his lower lip, biting until his mouth was rosy and covered with a shiny film, "My mother made chicken soup, she knew I was coming to your house, so she made it specially..."

Ji Shizhou was not surprised to hear the word "mother" from Fang Ji's mouth. Fang Ji cared about his family, a little too much to be precise, but he pronounced this word too softly.

So he offered, "Can you please stop biting your lip."

Obviously Fang Ji didn't listen, the two went upstairs, and Ji Shizhou led him into a special studio.It was already eleven o'clock in the morning, so I made some simple preparations and started to compose the picture. Fang Ji was a little restrained, but he didn't dare to move casually, his eyes flickered for a while, and he couldn't help talking to him.

He began to tentatively call him that title, calling him "Xiao Zhou".

Ji Shizhou had no problem with the title of the kitten or puppy. What he did have was that Fang Ji kept licking and biting his lips.His attention is not at all on himself, not on the paper.

It is impossible to meditate like this.

The moment I finished talking about not drawing, my stomach growled untimely.

Fang Ji asked him: "Are you hungry? Do you want to have lunch early?"

"No need to advance, I haven't had breakfast yet."

Fang Ji was very surprised, Ji Shizhou laughed inexplicably, showing his dimples, and told him, "I only eat one meal during the holiday."

Fang Ji said it was unhealthy, and Ji Shizhou said that he would not die of starvation.

Fang Ji immediately showed a disapproving expression. It happened that what he brought was chicken soup, which could be drunk as soon as it was warmed up. When he went downstairs to see that the refrigerator was completely empty, he wondered what Ji Shizhou usually ate.

"Auntie will do it. If you want to come today, I will tell her not to come." Ji Shizhou walked downstairs slowly, watching Fang Ji researching the smart appliances at home, "Let me tell you first, I don't know how to use them."

Fang Ji's eyes seemed to be asking him how he lived to such an age. Ji Shizhou wanted to cover his eyes to cover the brightness in his pupils, but finally turned around and poked his finger on his half-exposed collarbone. Fang Ji didn't respond for a moment, Ji Shizhou changed his position and pressed on his shoulder, in exchange for shivering quickly and breathing in due to the pain.

He fixed his eyes on Fang Ji, his expression unchanged, "He hit you again?"

It is self-evident who this "he" is.

Fang Ji was speechless, and after a while the microwave oven made a "ding" before he said, "I'm going back."

Throughout the afternoon, Ji Shizhou watched Fang Ji busy up and down, replacing all the sheets and quilts in his room with new ones, and spinning the worn school uniforms in the washing machine. Ji Shizhou asked him if he came here to work as a nanny Well, Fang Ji said that he was fine anyway, and urged Ji Shizhou to go back to his room and do his homework.

Until it was about to get dark, Fang Ji dried the last wave of clothes and said goodbye to Ji Shizhou.

"Are you going back?" Ji Shizhou asked him.

Fang Ji nodded, and then suddenly said to him, "Xiao Zhou, take good care of yourself."

After all, his sister had been away for more than half a year, during which time he had a better understanding of Ji Shizhou.

The teenager's parents are not around, only one aunt takes care of his daily life, but it is not always there.Although he can't wash or make clothes, Ji Shizhou can write beautifully, and his homework has steadily improved within half a year. Because his grades have improved, the class teacher turned a blind eye to his frequent contact with people outside the school. Close one eye.

Fang Ji almost treated him like half a younger brother, and he said these words sincerely, hoping that Ji Shizhou would be more considerate to him.

But Ji Shizhou sized him up and reconfirmed: "Aren't you going to stay overnight? Tomorrow is Sunday, so no one will come to my house suddenly."

Fang Ji paused, his teeth pressed against his lips again, "No."

After he finished speaking, he added: "If you have nothing to eat, you should ask your aunt to do it. Don't get up so late, it won't be good if you have a stomachache."

Ji Shizhou said, "I haven't eaten your cooking yet."

Fang Ji opened his mouth, but in fact... he didn't make a sound, and his smile became a little forced, "Next time, I can make it for you next time."

Ji Shizhou looked at him and nodded, "Then you can go."

He didn't keep him any longer, he stood at the door and watched Fang Ji leave.

Fang Ji walked out, out of this place that had nothing similar to Li County, the sky in the distance was divided into three parts, light blue, dark blue and slightly yellow.

Fang Ji was waiting at the bus stop.

He lied to Ji Shizhou.

The chicken soup was not prepared by my mother at all, but he made it by himself.As soon as Mother Fang heard that he was going to Ji Shizhou's house, she said in an incredible tone: "Fang Ji, why are you still hanging out with that kind of people, they will eat you!"

Fang Ji wanted to explain that Ji Shizhou was different from Chen Xiang and Liu Hang. He did not belong here and would not stay here in the future.

What's more, there is nothing in him that he can plot.

Just as he was about to speak, Fang's mother became angry: "You forgot what I told you before? I said I want you to provoke those people less, and don't cause trouble for the family!"

Fang Ji was silent, and rarely talked back: "The biggest trouble in this family is not here at all."

The woman opened her eyes wide, tears streaming down her eyes, and she looked a little older.

Fang Ji didn't sit obediently on the edge of the bed this time, but turned around and walked out of the room.

The bus hasn't arrived yet, so I don't know how long it will take. The night in May is slightly cool, and there is a small wind blowing from time to time. Fang Ji is a little cold, and stomps his feet on the flat ground.

The stray dog ​​in the park was drugged to death and failed to survive the winter.

Originally, I wanted to talk to Ji Shizhou, but I was sensitive to the suggestiveness of this topic, so he swallowed it back into his mouth, so he could only keep biting his lower lip. The bloody smell filled his mouth all the time, reminding him what he must do today. thing.

The backpack behind him was suddenly grabbed, and Ji Shizhou appeared out of nowhere.

Fang Ji was at a loss for a moment, then panicked, and blurted out "Xiao Zhou".

He yelled so skillfully, as if he had yelled thousands of times in private.

"What did you take from my house?" Ji Shizhou asked.

"No, I didn't take anything." Fang Ji grabbed the backpack tightly, and defended palely, not understanding why Ji Shizhou said that suddenly.

He didn't steal anything.

Ji Shizhou didn't listen to him, instead of loosening his grip, he even exerted more force, with a cold expression on his face.The two rolled down the slope to the grass, Ji Shizhou grabbed his backpack, Fang Ji rushed forward to grab it, something fell out of it during the struggle.

Fang Ji went to pick it up, trying to cover it up, but Ji Shizhou stretched out his hand and held it down without blinking his eyes. The sharp blade pierced his palm, and blood gushed out bright red.

Fang Ji was dumbfounded.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." He quickly let go of the knife to hold Ji Shizhou's hand, and kept apologizing, as if he was the one bleeding,

He wished it was himself, Ji Shizhou was an art student, his hands were the hands holding the paintbrush, the bright red hurt his eyes, he made mistakes again, every time he failed to do well.

"Fang Ji, what are you going to do with this?"

There was no surprise in Ji Shizhou's tone.

"Explain clearly, otherwise you don't want to leave tonight. I don't know how to bandage, you have to be responsible for bandaging me."

Ji Shizhou pressed his finger on his lower lip, and the tingling pain made him widen his tear-filled eyes.

Fang Ji's breathing was short and he gasped vigorously. After a long time, the bus came and went, and the sky gradually turned into one color, a dull dark blue.

"I want to kill him." His tears flowed down the boy's fingers, "He's gambling, he beats his mother, maybe he beat his sister before, I don't know anything."

My sister died, and the stray dog ​​in the park died...

What he cherishes will disappear, he can't protect everything well, and now even Ji Shizhou has to be hurt because of him.

But Ji Shizhou held his face with that injured hand, bloodstains were printed on his cheeks, he looked like a wounded puppy.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter."

Ji Shizhou touched his forehead and saw that the inside of his lip was bitten bloody, as if he could also taste Fang Ji's tears, mixed with the smell of blood, very bitter.

He pressed him into his arms and promised in a low voice: "Everything will pass, you don't have to bear this, you shouldn't bear this, I will be with you."

The sky was getting dark, dull dark blue, but Ji Shizhou's body was hot, making Fang Ji feel as if he had crashed into a whole sun.

Finally, the boy's heavy breath gradually landed lightly, and the long day was able to descend.

--------------------

Fang Ji really loved Ji Shizhou before the relationship happened, Ji Shizhou can't even be described as special to him, he is the only one in Fang Ji's heart.

What's more, our little day is very good to the puppy, don't believe it (つД`)
