The Blaze of Xueba

Boyhood (23)

When Li Lie returned home, the room was as dark as usual. He was used to the darkness for many years, but at this moment, there was a lot of coolness in the darkness.

It was chillingly cold.

Li Lie took off his coat, and the wound that had just been bandaged was burning with pain. Although the bleeding had stopped, the cotton cloth was almost stained red.

He found the medicine box, groped in the dark, removed the blood-red cotton cloth, and bandaged it again.He turned on the faucet with his left hand and splashed cold water on his face fiercely. The biting cold water quenched the pain from his bones and made him a little numb.

He didn't dare to throw himself on the bed as usual, but took a small step to sit on the bed slowly, and slowly lay down on his side.Grandma snored from inside, and my sister fell asleep.

Everyone in this city was falling asleep peacefully, but his mind was full of things, his body was in pain, and he couldn't fall asleep.

He suddenly found sadly that he was a little pitiful now.

Angrily, he wanted to sit up as usual, looking for a cigarette, but he accidentally touched the wound, his face turned blue from the pain, he took a deep breath, and lay down on the bed slumped.

It's really hurt that there is no one who brings tea and water.he sighed.

But, hasn't it been like this all these years, so why bother to be hypocritical here!

He can't expect an ordinary family with a father, a mother, and a home. When he returns home with a hot meal, someone will call his name.These have nothing to do with him, let alone expect someone to really care about him, this is really just a luxury.

No matter how much suffering, no matter how wronged you are, you can't cry. A man doesn't cry easily, even if he bleeds, he doesn't want to cry.

Even if fate dug a fire pit for him, he would have to laugh and jump down.

Li Lie scolded himself for being hypocritical, tomorrow the sun will rise as usual, so what should I do?But he touched the electronic watch that Zhou Yan gave him with his hands, and he stared at the empty screen that had long been out of power. His mind was full of thoughts, and he couldn't bear the urge to piss, so a tear still fell down. .

But just one, he manly put the watch back in place and forced himself to sleep.

After Zhou Yan went to high school, he was completely isolated from the outside world. He used to talk about literature with his father Zhou Shuzhi, but now when he comes home from vacation, he walks out of his room except for meals, and the rest of the time is completely a dead house.

Do questions.read a book.These are the two main tasks of Zhou Yan's vacation.After finishing the homework papers, he started to read books, and when there were no new books by Haruki Murakami, he read old books, and he read them repeatedly, which was not too monotonous.When I get tired of watching, I go to the basketball court in the community to play basketball. When I am tired, I come back to take a shower and start listening to music and watching anime.

Zhou Yan seems to others to be taciturn, arrogant and cold, but he himself doesn’t think so. He has a lot of unknown bad tastes. He started to get in touch with Japanese culture from Murakami, and then watched a lot of unpopular manga. It has surpassed the average person, and its psychological maturity is very high, in other words, it is very abnormal.

In Japanese manga, he doesn't watch those long and healing youth love adventures that tend to be brainless anime, but likes to watch bloody, violent, and impactful fighting anime.In terms of emotional tendency, he likes Tanmei anime.

He has been suffocated by his mother since he was a child, and his cognition of women has been distorted. The indifferent female characters scare him, and the warm female characters make him feel hypocritical. The only happiness left to him at home is only in his The short time in the past when he and his father chatted happily about literature.

The pressure of studying, the closed personality since he was a child, the rebellion slowly accumulated in his bones, and his hatred of women... Various factors made him emotionally biased and stubborn.He used to watch Tanmei anime all day and all night to satisfy his bad taste. He didn't move his eyelids at the key points. After all, he had seen a lot of large-scale descriptions from Murakami, and his mind had already matured.

But these things seem so illusory to him, those books, those animations, those emotions, he can't grasp them, they will always stay at the level of imagination.

Has nothing to do with reality.

He is very careful to keep his emotions, never substituting a bit of his imagination into reality.

The three-day holiday was fleeting, and Zhou Yan went out at 06:30 as usual. It was already November, and the morning light was late, and the cold made people shiver.

Zhou Yan added a warm woolen sweater to his school uniform, which was quite warm.He bought another cup of warm soy milk, a steamed stuffed bun and an egg, and ate them while walking. He glanced back, as if he was looking for someone, but the crowd was full of strange faces.

Along the way, Zhou Yan wondered if that bastard Li Lie would jump out of nowhere to scare him, and then the two of them went to school together, but after breakfast was finished, he walked to the school gate and Li Lie still hadn't come out.

He showed some indescribable anger in his disappointment, as if he had been let down by someone.But it's a bit ridiculous to think about it, Li Lie didn't make an appointment to go to school with him, and he didn't have the obligation to accompany him, so he was so angry.

When Zhou Yan walked into the classroom, everyone was copying their homework with their heads down. You called me and I helped you. The homework was passed around, and it was as spectacular as a game to squeeze together.

Zhou Yan returned to his seat, put down his schoolbag, and took out his books.Yang Wei glanced at Zhou Yan. He had dinner with him a few days ago and felt that he had a good relationship, so he came over shamelessly and asked, "Zhou Yan, can you lend me your homework? I have a lot of questions. No question."

Zhou Yan nodded and turned over the homework to Yang Wei. Yang Wei said with a smile, "Thank you, the school committee!" Then he also mixed in the crowd and started his great career of copying homework.Wu Fat threw the key on Li Lie's desk, hurriedly found out the homework and wrote with Yang Wei.

There is no gap without comparison. Although Yang Wei is also a cheeky bastard, compared to Li Lie, Zhou Yan feels a certain disgust in his heart.

Maybe he is more familiar with Li Lie, or Li Lie is more complicated, not just a hippie smile...

Zhou Yan glanced at the keys on Li Lie's desk. On Monday, Wu Fatty opened the doors for Li Lie.He was a little distracted, and then he looked away, took out his book and began to preview the subjects he was going to take.

According to Li Lie's habit, he would rush into the classroom at the last second when he stepped on the bell in the first class after the holiday.After Zhou Yan rang the preparatory bell, he looked out of the window frequently. A large number of boys fled into their classrooms, and some of them ran into Class 17.

Li Lie was the only one among the huge crowd who were all wearing the same school uniform. Li Lie still didn't come until after a class. Zhou Yan's tense nerves were extremely sensitive. He wondered if this guy was out of business. What's up……

After two classes, he was restless. He didn't listen to a word the teacher said, and his notebook was blank.

In the second class, the whole class went downstairs in an orderly manner to go to the playground to do inter-class exercises. Zhou Yan was very upset when he was mixed in the crowded stairs going down the stairs. His wishes were not fulfilled, and Li Lie's place was empty.

He wanted to go back to the classroom and ask about Wu Pang and Li Lie's situation. Although he was more cowardly than Wu Pang in interpersonal relationships, he couldn't care so much about that guy's safety. If he didn't come back before lunch, he would I'm looking for the head teacher, Lao Cai.

Zhou Yan was thinking about Li Lie all the way, and inadvertently looked up at the corner of the stairs on the fourth floor and saw the guy leaning on the corridor on the fifth floor with his school uniform open!

Angry, surprised, calm.Zhou Yan walked step by step, and when he walked in front of Li Lie, he had put away all his outward feelings, and became the cold young master everyone thought he was again.

Li Lie held a bottle of Coke in his left hand and tried to open it. He didn't know whether the bottle cap was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him or something. give him.

Li Lie didn't speak, took it and poured it down.

Zhou Yan asked, "Are you left-handed? I don't usually notice it!" There was a little anger inadvertently when he asked.

Li Lie grinned, "Brother, I provoked you, and you turned my eyebrows coldly at me early in the morning. Hey, your brother and I injured my right hand. Not only did no one care about it, but someone looked as smelly as if I owed him money." What a miserable life!"

"What! What happened to your hand?" Zhou Yan asked hurriedly.

Li Lie said nonchalantly, "It's nothing. I did it myself. I played basketball too hard and sprained myself."

"Then did you go to the hospital, have you been checked, is it serious?!" Zhou Yan behaved a little chaotically.

Li Lie hooked Zhou Yan with his remaining hand, "So worried about me?"

Zhou Yan ignored Li Lie's words. He had been suffocated since the morning, and now he was relieved. It turned out that this guy was injured. He felt extremely ashamed, as if the injury was caused by him, and he generously didn't care about Li Lie's injury. , the tone softened, "Are you sure your right hand is okay?"

Li Lie was overwhelmed by Zhou Yan's earnest greeting. He let go of his left hand and said with a smile, "Small injury, just take a rest and look at your sky falling down. It looks like I'm about to It's like dying."

Zhou Yan didn't know how to respond to Li Lie. He was stunned for a while, then he seemed to say to himself, "It's fine if it's not serious." Then he went back to the classroom, and when he sat down, a heart that had been hanging from the morning finally settled down.

During lunch, Li Lie lay on the table, feeling weak, Zhou Yan asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Li Lie said, "You go, I'll let Wu Pang take it for me." After he finished speaking, he turned his head to call Wu Pang, but Zhou Yan stood upright in front of him with firm eyes, "I'll help you take it!"

"That's so embarrassing..." Li Lie didn't want to cause trouble for Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan said, "Since I decided to bring it for you, I won't worry about trouble! Tell me, what do you want to eat?"

The young man showed a posture that he would eat Li Lie alive if he refused to bring food, Li Lie said firmly, "If you want to eat meat, please lighten it."

Said that Bi Zhouyan walked past Li Lie cautiously, for fear of bumping into him, Li Lie didn't even have time to give him his meal card, so he disappeared in a hurry.

Zhou Yan went down the stairs quickly. This was the first time he had done something for others since he grew up. Apart from the chores that had to be done in his studies, it was the first time that he really felt the joy of doing things for others from the bottom of his heart.

He used the spirit of a sprinter to run desperately, and easily passed Wu Pang Yang Wei, who had already walked a long way, and rushed forward, almost bumping into Zuo Yu. Some girls on the road were surprised to see that the first grader was eating so hard , As expected of a desperate Saburo.

Zhou Yan ignored the passers-by, crossed the entire distance between the end of the school, and rushed to the first cafeteria panting. Sure enough, there were very few people, so he decided to cook for Li Lie first, and then bought the same meals as him.Then he was afraid that the food would be cold, so he ran back at the same amazing speed. With his desperate talent, he would definitely have no problem getting into the Guinness Book of Records. His name is "The World's Fastest Food Snatcher on Campus."

Li Lie didn't expect Zhou Yan to come back so quickly. He and Zhou Yan, who was standing at the door of the classroom with a lunch box and gasping for breath, looked at each other. He took off his shirt just as he was about to give himself medicine when there was no one in the classroom during lunch. Zhou Yan who came in was startled.

Zhou Yan walked over calmly, put the lunch box on his table, and saw that Li Lie's naked upper body blushed a little. If you look closely, you can see a bruise.

Zhou Yan saw the medicine on Li Lie's table, and saw his right shoulder bleeding thinly. He wondered if it was from playing basketball?

Li Lie was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.Seeing this, Zhou Yan didn't ask him why, but just said, "Let me change your medicine for you."

Li Lie lowered his head and sat upright than Guan Yu, leaving Zhou Yan to take care of the injured part.Zhou Yan adhered to the careful and conscientious way of doing things, slowly applied medicine to Li Lie with a cotton swab, and then wrapped the cotton cloth very carefully, for fear of hurting him.

Li Lie had never felt that bandaging could be so comfortable. He put on his clothes, packed up the medicine and sundries, and said to Zhou Yan, "Thank you!"

Zhou Yan kept silent, and brought the still steaming food to Li Lie, fearing that he might not be used to eating with his left hand, so he carefully prepared a spoon for him.

When Li Lie saw the food, it was light and full of meat and vegetables, and he was quite satisfied. After he finished eating, he leaned over and asked with a smile, "Why are you so kind to me?"

Zhou Yan said with a straight face, "It is everyone's responsibility to take care of the disabled."

Li Lie, "..."

Although Zhou Yan's mouth is very poisonous, he doesn't lose the chain at the critical moment. He doesn't know how many times more reliable than that guy Wu Pang. If he expects Wu Pang to bring him food, the food is probably cold.

Zhou Yan packed up the lunch box and threw it in the trash can, then went downstairs to buy two bottles of milk, which belonged to Wahaha, and threw them on Li Lie’s desk, “This has a straw, you can drink it when you’re thirsty, you don’t need to twist the cap, it’s easy to drink some."

Li Lie let out an "oh" like a child, and Zhou Yan treated him like a child now.
