Chapter 35 Classmates

Xiao Guo was very close to Nan Zhuo, Nan Zhuo subconsciously stepped back to hide, but he was already leaning against the tree trunk, there was no room behind him.He wasn't afraid, but he didn't have any strength, and when he looked up at Xiao Guo, his eyes were hollow.

Except for Nan Yan, Nan Zhuo has never had such close and peaceful contact with any of his peers.The boys in the school are very hostile to him, and the girls seldom take the initiative to trouble him. They talk a lot about his appearance, which is far from being friendly.When someone is isolated in the group, the rest of the group has to choose sides. He is out of the group, and no classmates will reach out to him at the risk of offending everyone else.

Nan Zhuo stared at Xiao Guo with bright and dull eyes, and asked fiercely: "Are you following me?"

After Xiao Guo saved someone, he didn't get a thank you, so he was stunned by the question.He blinked and said, "I'm in the same class as you."

He is squatting, but you can also see the broad shoulders and powerful long legs.He carried his shoulders neatly, his skin was a little tanned, and his health and sunshine were written on his face.It was obvious that he acted out of righteousness, but when he looked at Nan Zhuo, his expression was a little dazed, and he had the temperament of a good student who strayed into a group fight.

Nan Zhuo tilted his head slightly to look at him, thought for a while, finally smiled in the blank memory, and said indifferently: "Really."

Xiao Guo nodded seriously, as if he was aggrieved, but Nan Zhuo never remembered the names and faces of the people in his class, so he nodded perfunctorily.His eyelashes trembled violently, Xiao Guo squatted in front of him, he could clearly see the changing shadows on his face.

Nan Zhuo felt that his eyelids were a little heavy, so he closed them for a while.When he closed his eyes, his expression was very peaceful, he could be called calm, as if the danger just now had never happened, he didn't care about the injuries on his body at all, and he was not in a hurry to leave this place of right and wrong.

Xiao Guo's voice sounded nervous in the satisfying darkness, asking: "Nan Zhuo, you, open your eyes, can you see me clearly?"

Nan Zhuo then opened his eyes again, looked at Xiao Guo's face and nodded.However, Xiao Guo still frowned, Nan Zhuo raised his hand to touch it, and realized that the corner of his eye was broken in the pain like a needle prick.Someone stepped on his head just now, and the injury should have been rubbed on the ground.

"Don't touch it." Xiao Guo grabbed his wrist and said, "It will be infected."

This person's body temperature is very high, Nan Zhuo is not used to it sticking to his skin.He broke away from Xiao Guo's hand, looked down and saw blood on the fingertips, he touched his cheekbone with the back of his hand again, there was also blood.

The bright red smeared on the pale skin, making Xiao Guo's eyes widen when he saw it.However, Nan Zhuo showed an impatient look, and wiped his hands on his clothes.

After he finished wiping, he paused for a moment, remembering that it was Xiao Guo's clothes.

Xiao Guo looked at him quietly, Nan Zhuo felt that he cared, and said: "I will pay you one."

"Ah, good." Xiao Guo was a little distracted, and after agreeing, he said: "No, no, I didn't mean that, really no need."

When the young man talks and looks at people, he gives people a sense of sincerity, which is reassuring, but it makes Nan Zhuo feel inexplicably irritable.Nan Zhuo sat up straight, with his back away from the tree trunk, intending to stand up, Xiao Guo immediately reached out to support him.Nan Zhuo's arm was too thin, Xiao Guo held it up, and his fingertips could easily meet.

This time the two of them really got close, Nan Zhuo's injured face clearly appeared in Xiao Guo's dark eyes, the red and white were in sharp contrast, the jet-black hair hung down, and the corners of the blood-stained eyes were raised upwards, It is indeed not a look that ordinary people can compare with.Xiao Guo was a little distracted, and he didn't know if it was because of Nan Zhuo's miserable situation of being bullied, or because of the undoubted cold attitude of this young man despite his extreme embarrassment.

However, Nan Zhuo's face was cold and pale, like a cloud on a snowy day.He took his arm out of Xiao Guo's hand, stood up by himself, and put on Xiao Guo's school uniform jacket.Then he picked up the schoolbag and patted the dirt on the bag. Because of the injuries on his body, it took a little effort to carry it on his back.

Xiao Guo also stood up, he wanted to help, but Nan Zhuo avoided him.

There is a small pocket on the side of the schoolbag, which is designed to put a water bottle.Nan Zhuo tilted his shoulder, the pocket knife fell out of it, and landed on the concrete floor with a loud bang.

Nan Zhuo looked down and bent down to pick it up.He wiped the handle of the knife with his cuff, and heard Xiao Guo beside him say in disbelief, "You brought a knife to school?"

Nan Zhuo let out a "hmm", then looked up at Xiao Guo.Now that both of them can stand up, they can show their height. Nan Zhuo is already over 1.7 meters, but he has to lift his chin to see Xiao Guo.

Nan Zhuo opened and closed the folding knife, and said slowly: "If you dare to say a word about today's matter, I promise to use the knife on you."

Xiao Guo was threatened, but he was not angry.He seemed to have decided that Nan Zhuo was not serious, looked down at the knife in Nan Zhuo's hand, then looked back at Nan Zhuo, and said, "You have to tell the teacher about this."

Nan Zhuo looked at Xiao Guo with strange eyes, he twitched the corner of Qingzi's mouth and asked, "Why should I tell the teacher?"

Xiao Guo was shocked by this question, the autumn wind swirled between them with scattered dead leaves, drawing the two of them into different worlds.Nan Zhuo looked at Xiao for a while in the eerie silence, put the jackknife into his pants pocket, and said, "Go home, good boy."

Then he turned around and walked toward the street corner without looking back.

Xiao Guo stood where he was, his ears turned red quickly, he himself didn't know about this, but he also felt embarrassed.He clearly saw the envy and pity in Nan Zhuo's eyes, which made him really feel like a child, but what the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy dislikes the most is being a child.

Nan Zhuo staggered a little when he took a step, but he was fine after two steps.Xiao Guo picked up the jacket he had dropped on the ground, then came up from behind and said, "Your clothes."

Nan Zhuo didn't look back and said: "Just throw it away." Feeling a bit inappropriate, he stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me."

He took two steps and stopped, stood there for a few seconds, turned around and asked, "What's your name?"

Xiao Guo answered every question, and said: "Xiao Guo... Xiao of Empress Dowager Xiao, I missed it."

This sentence made Nan Zhuo laugh, and this smile changed everything.He stood in the Wanwan light through the tree canopy, the side of his face that was turned sideways was not stained with blood, it was pure white and clean.He was wearing a worn school uniform jacket, which was two sizes larger than his own. He was long and fat, his fingertips couldn't show the cuffs, and his thin chin was tightly covered by the collar.His lips pressed against the zipper of his clothes formed a beautiful arc, and at the same time the corners of his eyes were bent downwards, finally showing the innocence of a young man.

"Xiao Guo, I will remember." He was silent for a while, then whispered: "Thank you."

Xiao Guo wanted to answer, but Nan Zhuo had already left without looking back.

When Nan Zhuo arrived home, Chen Fangyi was just about to go out, wearing a tight dress and high heels, graceful and graceful.Chen Fang was surprised when she saw his appearance. She stretched out her hand to look at his face carefully, and said, "Why did it happen again? Fighting on the first day of school?"

She pressed her fingers on the wound at the corner of Nan Zhuo's mouth. Nan Zhuo frowned in pain and said, "I'm sorry."

"Sorry, I wasn't the one who was beaten." Chen Fang let him go with a smile.She leaned against the door and asked, "Did you fight back?"

Nan Zhuo shook his head first, then remembered something, and let out a "hmm".He lowered his head to change his shoes without looking at Chen Fangyi.

"It's right to fight back." Chen Fang smiled and stretched out her finger, "I don't care about your business, but it's just three o'clock. Don't lose your face, don't get disabled, and don't kill someone."

Nan Zhuo looked up at her silently for a few seconds, and said, "Got it, Mom."

"Well, deal with it yourself." Chen Fangyi's expression couldn't tell whether it was more concerned or interested, she gave a "tsk", and said with relish behind Nan Zhuo: "Don't say it, after being injured It looks even better! You say you're not a girl? Really..."

Nan Zhuo quickly entered the room and went upstairs, leaving behind what her adoptive mother hadn't finished saying.

***

On the second day, Nan Zhuo came to school with a face full of injuries. His cheekbones and corners of his mouth were bruised and blotched with blood. The overnight injury looked particularly horrifying.The class teacher was startled when he saw it, and immediately called Nan Zhuo to the office for questioning.

The teacher asked what was going on, but Nan Zhuo didn't tell the truth.To be precise, he didn't say anything.

When Nan Zhuo came back, the self-study had already ended, and there was no head teacher watching, and half of the students in the classroom were sleeping on the desks.After entering the door, he deliberately walked slowly, looked around, and saw Xiao Guo in the last row of his row.And Xiao Guo happened to be looking at him too, and immediately smiled after meeting his eyes, as if he was about to say something.

But Nan Zhuo moved his eyes away naturally, as if he didn't know him at all.Xiao Guo paused with the hand holding the pen, and punctured the exercise book a bit.

The last class before lunch was quite difficult. The students were all hungry, and they got up and ran out as soon as the bell rang, fearing that they would have to queue up in the cafeteria.Nan Zhuo didn't go, and when he was the only one left in the classroom, he took out Xiao Guo's school uniform jacket from his schoolbag.The clothes have been washed and dried, and neatly folded, Nan Zhuo confirmed that there is no one in the classroom, and put the clothes on Xiao Guo's chair.

When he put it down, he took a look. Xiao Guo’s table and table were very neat, unlike other boys, who threw the crumpled papers and half-eaten snack bags together. One person can feed several litters of mice. .

It's meal time now, and the classroom will be empty for a while, Nan Zhuo returned to his seat, stood there and looked over bit by bit, from the school uniform on the chair to the pointer on the podium, to the blackboard Go to the dense formula, the empty corridor, and then go to your own position.This is a feeling of loneliness and tranquility. No matter what kind of group, he can't integrate into it. It's not that he doesn't want to, but he has failed too many times and has given up by now.It was as if he was the only one left in the world, and what he cared about and what cared about him didn't exist.

Nan Zhuo thought for a while, and remembered that he was indeed the only one left in this world.

He laughed slowly, sat down and continued to work on the problem.

When school was over, Nan Zhuo pulled up the jacket Lasso to the highest position, so that it could cover a little bit of the wound on the corner of his mouth.He walked with most of the people, afraid that those three people would intercept him again yesterday. Everything went well, but when he was about to board the bus, someone touched his shoulder from behind.

Nan Zhuo turned around and staggered a few times before the car drove away.Standing on the curb, he staggered and was about to fall, but was dragged back under the stop sign.

Nan Zhuo looked at the person in front of him, frowned and said, "Xiao Guo?"

Xiao Guo's school uniform jacket was half open, and there was a little sweat on the tip of his nose.The sun was very strong, Nan Zhuo quickly shrank into the shadows after returning to the sidewalk, and stood there staring at Xiao Guo vigilantly.His expression was a little angry, and his eyes were shining like glazed stones.

He asked: "What are you doing?"

"Nan Zhuo," Xiao Guo said, "well, I want to ask you a question."

This person doesn't know what's going on, he stutters when talking to him, it happened last time, and it still does now.Nan Zhuo felt a little strange, frowned, then looked down at Xiao Guo's hand that was still holding his forearm.

Xiao Guo followed him to look down, then quickly let go of his hand, explaining: "No, I called you all the way from behind just now, you, you didn't hear me, so I..."

Nan Zhuo interrupted him and asked, "You called me all the way?"

"No," Xiao Guo noticed that he was a little angry, and said, "It's just calling your name."

Nan Zhuo twisted his shoulders and broke his arm away from Xiao Guo's hand, the wind blew his broken hair, a bit blocking his eyes.He looked left and right, and the classmates who came out of the school with them had already separated, he sighed in a low voice, and asked Xiao Guo: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Guo said, "I saw the school uniform."

He stood where the sun could find it, and his whole body was gilded with gold.Nan Zhuo stood in the shadows and quickly said "hmm".

Xiao Guo was silent for a while, then said, "Thank you..."

Nan Zhuo seemed to have exhausted his patience, he looked up at Xiao Guo expressionlessly, and raised his eyebrows after a while.Xiao Guo understood his urging, and then asked, "Why didn't you return it to me face to face?"

Nan Zhuo didn't expect to be asked such a question. The seemingly simple boy in front of him was more sensitive than he expected.He choked for a moment and said, "You weren't there at the time."

This is obviously not the answer Xiao Guo wants, but Nan Zhuo's face has a condensed hardness, which is the self-protection he has built up over the years. Xiao Guo saw it and knew that it was a defense that outsiders could not overcome .Nan Zhuo's back is always straight, but Xiao Guo can feel that there is something hidden under it.

Xiao Guo asked, "Did you tell the teacher what happened yesterday?"

Nan Zhuo didn't answer immediately, but his eyes gradually became sharper.He finally said, "None of your business."

The subtext behind the sharp teeth can be easily heard, Xiao Guo said: "You have to tell the teacher."

Nan Zhuo asked: "What do you say? How do you say it?"

"To tell the truth, just say that." Xiao Guo took a step, with his toes touching the edge of the shadow under the stop sign.His tone was a little hasty, and he said, "It's not the first time what happened yesterday, is it? You have to go and respond to the school."

Nan Zhuo sneered, shook his head, and said, "It's useless to react."

"How do you know it's useless?" Xiao Guo's expression was very serious, "Those people must be punished. If you can't solve this kind of thing by yourself, you must tell the school. If you don't say anything, no one will ever know it's true. They're bullying you."

Nan Zhuo half-closed his eyes, and asked sharply, "Did someone say anything at school?"

Xiao Guo was obviously taken aback and didn't answer.

"What are they saying about me?" Nan Zhuo suddenly approached him, his exquisite eyes dimmed, and he asked: "Do you say I deserve it? Do you say that I caused the trouble? Do you say that I am more like a girl than usual when I was injured? They What do you call me, duckling?"

He stopped at the intersection of light and shadow, saw Xiao Guo hesitate to speak, and understood everything.Nan Zhuo's voice was a little hasty, and he said: "Some things can't be solved by speaking out. What age do you still think about suing the teacher? Huh? Will I be treated fairly if I speak out? Maybe I Is that what they said? Xiao Guo, we have been classmates for only two days, do you understand me?"

This series of questions made Xiao Guo speechless for a long time, Nan Zhuo smiled, and took a step back, his eyes gleamed with a sinister light.

"Don't mind your own business," he walked away, waved his back to Xiao Guo, and said, "You'd better go home and play in the mud."

Xiao Guo couldn't hold back and took a step forward, saying, "Nan Zhuo!"

Unexpectedly, Nan Zhuo stopped in his tracks, turned his head and raised his eyebrows at him, and said, "We are not from the same world, let's go home early, good boy."
