summer kill

Saturday, October 10.

Zeng Lianxi took the first subway, thinking that she would be earlier than Gao Hui today.

But Gao Hui was already sitting outside the security booth.

He is not wearing a hat.The cool wind blew through, parting a few strands of golden hair, revealing the black and gold mixed hair underneath.He yawned, his eyelids half closed.

Same as last time, he saw a faint figure approaching his feet. "coming."

Zeng Lianxi said softly, "I'm late again."

"No, I came early." Gao Hui stood up, "Would you like to make a bet? Are there any cards in my cabinet today?"

Zeng Lianxi vaguely knew the answer, but he didn't accept the bet: "I received cards on the previous two Mondays." The difference is that one is in his cabinet, and the other is at Gao Hui's.

Gao Hui showed a mysterious smile: "That's not necessarily true."

Going to the classroom, he opened the cabinet, and sure enough, there was a card inside.

"There are no classes on Saturdays and Sundays. When we came to school on Monday and saw the card, we thought it was put in on Monday. In fact, it was put in on Friday night. We can narrow down the scope of suspects. One is not early, but late. The classmate who went back." Gao Hui's words became slower and slower.

Zeng Lianxi heard something in the words: "Do you have any suspicious classmates?"

"Not sure." This kind of ambiguous answer showed that Gao Hui already had someone in mind.

In this way, Zeng Lianxi calmed down a little.

The temperature dropped last night, and today's Nancheng finally has the feeling of autumn.It was drizzling outside.The steps are slippery.

After leaving the classroom, Gao Hui was thinking about something, but he didn't pay attention for a while, and his feet were empty.

Seeing that he was about to fall, Zeng Lianxi hurried to pull it.

Gao Hui didn't grab Zeng Lianxi's hand, but his clothes.He was so strong that he pulled the zipper of Zeng Lianxi's school uniform in one fell swoop.

The strong wind blew up Zeng Lianxi's coat, and he was forced to expose his collarbone.

Gao Hui often feels that Zeng Lianxi is soft, but occasionally he can see tough lines.Very contradictory.

Gao Hui balanced his body, then tightened Zeng Lianxi's coat: "The zipper is broken."

When the drizzle fell, Zeng Lianxi was in a haze.A person is like a lost deer in the fog.

Gao Hui took off his coat: "You can wear mine instead."

"No need, I'm not cold." Zeng Lianxi said, "Just go back and fix a zipper."

Under the coat, Gao Hui also had a long-sleeved shirt and a vest. He put the coat on Zeng Lianxi: "It's windy, don't catch a cold."

Zeng Lianxi had to put it on.

Gao Hui helped him pull the zipper to the neckline, and brushed away the rain and fog on his bangs.It was at this time that Gao Hui suddenly discovered that Zeng Lianxi had a scar on his forehead.It was similar to the one on the arm, with a few centimeters cracked.Gao Hui wanted to take a closer look.

Zeng Lianxi looked at the sky and said, "The rain has become heavier."

The wind blows the rain, and the fine rain falls directly on the face.Zeng Lianxi's bangs hung down, covering the scar.

Gao Hui: "Let's go, go back."

Zeng Lianxi: "Did you not bring an umbrella?"

Gao Hui: "I didn't read the weather forecast, I didn't know it was going to rain today."

Zeng Lianxi raised the umbrella above his head to cover Gao Hui's head.

Most of the umbrellas are on Gao Hui's side.

The owner of the umbrella got half of his shoulder wet.

Gao Hui hugged Zeng Lianxi, and the rain fell on the back of his hands: "You don't wear less clothes, don't get caught in the rain and catch a cold."

Zeng Lianxi glanced at the umbrella.

It is indeed too small, and the people under the umbrella can only cling to each other and squeeze together.

The two parted at the subway station. Zeng Lianxi walked a few steps, then ran back and said, "I still have a small umbrella. I'll give you the big one." He threw the big umbrella over, turned and ran away.

Gao Hui wanted to speak.

Zeng Lianxi had disappeared into the crowd.

Gao Hui smiled: "Is there anyone who carries two umbrellas?"

of course not.

The rain was so dense that it didn't hurt to hit my head, but my hair got wet very quickly.

Zeng Lianxi bought a new umbrella at a convenience store.

When he got home, he met Xiao Qiong and hurried out.Her face was full of panic, and her face was translucently white.

He softly called: "Auntie."

"Amao has an accident. I'll go over there." Xiao Qiong put on his shoes and ran away. After going out for a while, he ran back again, "Lianxi, why don't you come too. Amao was beaten and is in the hospital , you have experience, go there together."

She walked in such a hurry that she didn't even know that the colors of the two socks were inconsistent, so she couldn't remember to bring an umbrella.

Zeng Lianxi came out, looked at Xiao Qiong who rushed into the rain, and hurriedly called out: "Auntie."

He gave her the new umbrella.

Maybe he really didn't have time to care about other things, Xiao Qiong didn't notice that Zeng Lianxi was drenched in the rain all the way.

When she arrived at the hospital, she returned the umbrella to Zeng Lianxi.

Seeing her son's bandaged leg, Xiao Qiong cried out distressedly: "Amao, my poor child."

After a while, Zeng Zhengxin also arrived.He couldn't get angry, he just said: "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive."

Zeng Mao was indignant: "Those are a bunch of grandchildren."

Zeng Zhengxin asked: "Did you call the police?"

Zeng Mao paused.If he called the police, he couldn't get away with it-because he was the one who went to trouble first.The other party is under the age of 16.On his side, besides him, the others are adults.In comparison, they suffer even more.

Zeng Mao said, "Are you okay? The doctor said it's not serious, just rest for a while and it will be fine."

Xiao Qiong wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and insisted on calling the police.

Zeng Mao was in a hurry: "I said it's all right."

Zeng Zhengxin took a step back, almost bumping into the person standing behind: "Oh, Lianxi."

Hearing this name, Zeng Mao raised his eyes and stared over.He had a distorted mentality, thinking that Zeng Lianxi didn't help him teach those people a lesson, that he was hurt.

Xiao Qiong: "Amao, you have to listen to your father and me about this matter, call the police."

Zeng Mao: "No, no need to call the police."

Zeng Zhengxin vaguely felt that his son had something inside.He said, "Lianxi, go to the doctor and ask about Ah Mao's injury."

"Okay." Zeng Lianxi went out.

The sound insulation of the reservation door is relatively thin, and Zeng Lianxi could clearly hear the conversation between his uncle and aunt.

Zeng Zhengxin: "Why did you bring Lianxi here?"

Xiao Qiong: "I thought, he has a similar experience."

Zeng Zhengxin: "He is a child, what experience can he have? Moreover, his character is to swallow his anger."

Xiao Qiong was dissatisfied: "His character can't be swallowed."

Zeng Lianxi left immediately.

"Forget it, I'll ask the doctor how it is." Zeng Zhengxin walked out of the ward and saw Zeng Lianxi standing at the door of the doctor's office. He asked, "Lianxi, do you think you should call the police?"

Zeng Lianxi didn't expect his uncle to ask his opinion, he whispered: "Grandma said that the law is the only weapon."

Zeng Zhengxin nodded and went into the doctor's office.

Uncle and aunt stayed with Zeng Mao in the hospital and did not come back.

Zeng Lianxi is at home.Even though it's just him, he doesn't feel like it's a private space.

He didn't touch the contents of the refrigerator.He ate bread and an instant noodle.Then fell asleep.

Feeling dizzy when waking up.

When he wanted to do his homework, he was dizzy and his head was so heavy that he couldn't lift it.

He had no choice but to go back to the bed and lie down, but the more he lay down, the heavier his head became, until it seemed as if he was going to stick to the pillow.Body hot and cold.Covering the quilt was full of sweat, kicked off the quilt, and felt a chill down the back.

I was in a daze and didn't know if I was awake or dreaming.

In the dream, there are the chirping of cicadas in summer, the oncoming heat wave, and the deafening sound of sirens.

Then a phone rang.

He woke up from his dream, thinking it was a call from his uncle or aunt.Picking it up, it was Gao Hui who said, "Hello."

"Zeng Lianxi." The person on the other end of the phone was clear and cheerful.

Zeng Lianxi opened his eyes and sat up slowly.Had a dream and he was sweating more.Clothes stuck to his back from sweat.He's in bad shape.

In the morning, the two were separated, and there was no itinerary.At this time, Zeng Lianxi was a little stunned when he received a call from Gao Hui.Is there Gao Hui in the dream?

Gao Hui said, "Are you at home now?"

"Ah... oh."

"What's the matter? You speak weakly." Gao Hui felt that Zeng Lianxi's voice always had backbone.Today's weakness is unusual.

Zeng Lianxi touched his forehead, the sweat was cold: "It's nothing, I just woke up from a nap."

Gao Hui: "Since you've woken up, let's come down for a while. My dad came back from a business trip and brought souvenirs. He will pass by your house later and share a few boxes with you, so as not to go to school when the time comes to share, and you won't have a share. "

Zeng Lianxi didn't care about specialties, but he was alone in this small room, and his first thought was that if he could meet Gao Hui, he would be happier after all.

He went out in a daze.

That convenience store seemed to be their secret base.Gao Hui didn't say anything, but Zeng Lianxi knew that he was there.

Zeng Lianxi pushed the door open and went in.

Gao Hui directly pushed a big bag in front of him: "Here, it's all delicious."

"Thank you."

Gao Hui looked at Zeng Lianxi's face: "What's the matter with you? It looks like you've put on rouge."

Zeng Lianxi said softly: "I just woke up, it's a little hot."

Not only the cheeks, Zeng Lianxi's tone was particularly weak.

Gao Hui asked: "Is there something uncomfortable?" He put his hand on Zeng Lianxi's forehead.

Gao Hui's hand seemed to be blown by the drizzle outside, it was icy cold, cooling down Zeng Lianxi.

Gao Hui held Zeng Lianxi's hand again, it was also hot: "You have a fever."

Hospital emergency department.

Zeng Lianxi's temperature reached 38 degrees.

The doctor ordered a checklist.

It takes about one to two hours for the test results to come out.

Zeng Lianxi was sitting in a chair in the waiting room, her cheeks were blushing.He couldn't sit still, he leaned against the back of the chair, his head drooped, crooked.

When he was about to fail, a shoulder caught him.

His nose was steaming, and he smelled the clean and fresh smell of this person.His head sank, not wanting to raise it again.His eyes are half closed.He hadn't had such an uncomfortable illness for a long time.

Last time, grandma held him in her arms.Now this person has the same reliable weight as grandma and is trustworthy.

Although he lived in his uncle's house, he was always alone.

Helplessly, once he got sick, it was very serious every time, with fever and cough.Lying in bed at that time, there was a sense of loneliness everywhere.

Therefore, he is very afraid of getting sick.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived in Nancheng, someone actually took the place of grandma.He can rest for a while without worrying about missing the doctor's or nurse's orders.

Leaning on Gao Hui's shoulder, Zeng Lianxi breathed slowly and steadily.

Ever since he was connected to someone, Gao Hui didn't dare to move anymore.

Zeng Lianxi seemed to be asleep, his face was hot.Normally, his complexion was pale, but now it was ruddy.

Ruddy and fragile.

Zeng Lianxi's eyelashes were extremely long, curved and warped.He is always covered with long bangs, covering his aura eyes.

Gao Hui stretched out his hand and probed Zeng Lianxi's breath.

Afterwards he thought it was funny to himself.

The man just has a fever and is fine.

after awhile.A siren suddenly sounded outside the emergency department.

From far to near.

Four police officers walked in, holding three handcuffed prisoners.

The prisoner's handcuffs attracted the attention of many people present.

Zeng Lianxi opened his eyes.The moment he heard the siren, he woke up with a start.He sat up straight.

Gao Hui: "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Zeng Lianxi shook his head: "I can't sleep anymore."

Gao Hui took the emergency form to the automatic machine and scanned it.Before the inspection report came out, he walked back.

He straightened his body and straightened his shoulders: "If you are tired, lean on it."

Zeng Lianxi really leaned forward.He overheard a conversation.

Police: "These three gathered a crowd to fight and suffered trauma."

Nurse: "All three?"

Police: "Yes."

Nurse: "Fill out the patient registration form."

Police: "One is 17 years old and two are 16 years old."

Zeng Lianxi closed her eyes tightly.

Until Gao Hui said: "The report is out."

Zeng Lianxi stood up and looked back at the three handcuffed teenagers.

Although they are minors, they are full of hostility.

He couldn't help but glance at the glass door.He couldn't see himself.He turned to Gao Hui.

Gao Hui asked: "What's wrong?"

Zeng Lianxi imitated Gao Hui's expression and twitched the corners of his mouth.

Gao Hui stretched out his hand to cover his eyes: "Don't laugh when you've worked hard."

Zeng Lianxi: "..." He still couldn't learn to smile naturally.

Gao Hui: "When you recover from illness, we will play paper ball golf again, and you will be able to laugh happily."

Can he have a good laugh?Zeng Lianxi didn't believe it.
