Ji Xi has been very embarrassing these days, showing off his wrists anytime and anywhere, the bracelet was taken by Shu Xia, because the summer is too eye-catching, Shen Shi also reminded him several times that he can't wear jewelry, now, the watch has replaced the bracelet .

During the three-day holiday for the college entrance examination, Shu Xia found a temporary job in a supermarket, and Ji Xi could only find Qi Xin and the others to pass the time and show off his watch by the way.

I don't know how many times I saw him raise his wrist to look at the time, Qi Xin and Meng Ke silently looked at each other, spit out the bones in their mouths, and buried their heads in hard work.

Liu Yang asked curiously: "Brother Xi, what are you doing? Always check the time."

"No," he shook his head, and glanced at his watch again, "I'm looking at my watch."

"Why?" he asked.

He raised the corner of his mouth, very embarrassed, "Because, this is a gift from Xueba, does it look good?"

Liu Yang looked at the watch on his wrist, it was a quartz watch, the dial was a starry sky background, the strap was black, the hour and minute hands were pointing to 25:[-], and the second hand was ticking away, it was a watch, look Nothing special.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ji Xi curled his lips, this man is an idiot.He touched his watch, carefully lowered his wrist, and gnawed on a piece of rib.

"Brother Xi, we also gave you something, why don't you see such a treasure?" Qi Xin asked angrily.

"Can it be the same?" Ji Xi spat out his bones, and touched the watch like a baby, "This is a gift from Xueba, and it can be a good luck for Xueba."

"Ha ha!"

"You are already a top student, are you still lacking in luck?"

"No eyes!"

"You don't understand!" Ji Xi waved his hand, placing his watch in a conspicuous position on purpose, and they were speechless.

Shu Xia was planning to play games after dinner, but Shu Xia went to work, and he was ignored, he was alone, so he could only hang out with Qi Xin and the others.

But as soon as he came out, he ran into Shu Xia's mother, hiding at the entrance of the alley and watching him.

Ji Xi was startled.

After Qi Xin and Xing Yi finished talking, they came out to pay, "Brother Xi, let's go, why are you standing there?"

"You guys go, I have something to do." He walked towards the exit of the alley, Qi Xin and the others looked at each other, and really didn't know why he was having trouble again.

"Brother Xi, what's wrong with you?" Liu Yang asked.

"Diarrhea, uncomfortable, you play by yourself." He waved goodbye and walked straight forward.

"Damn, brother Xi is really good enough. The hot weather called us out and left by himself. I want to beat him up!" Qi Xin looked up at the vicious sun, with a swear word stuck in his throat.

"Let's go, let's go to Sanshi's Internet cafe." Meng Ke said.

The two nodded unanimously, and they both came out, so there should be no waste.

Ji Xi chose a milk tea shop, in the corner.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?" He tried to keep his tone as calm as possible. Is this person following him?

"Can you leave Xiao Xia? He's just a kid who doesn't understand anything. Please break up. Auntie begs you. Don't ruin his future." Mei Ting pleaded.

Ji Xi raised his eyes to look at her, she lost a lot of weight, haggard and lack of energy, her eyes were cloudy, the corners of her eyes drooped, she was not very thin, and she was dressed plainly, it was really hard to connect her with Shu Xia, they even had different noses .

Shu Xia went back to stay for one night every other day or two, and he was worried for the rest of the night. Now, this person actually found him.

"Auntie, I won't divide, unless he tells me personally, I won't divide." His tone was firm, and even if he said it, he would hold on to it firmly.

"Do you want me to kneel down and beg you?" Her sharp tone attracted a lot of attention, "You...you are still students, what do you know?"

"Xiaoxia is doing well in his studies. He is going to take college entrance examinations. You are holding him back and ruining his future. You will not get good results."

Ji Xi took a sip of milk tea, raised his eyes and said in a calm tone, "Auntie, are you done?"

Mei Ting suppressed the impatience in her heart, feeling a little restless and restless.

He continued: "It's useless for you to look for me. Xiaoxia is not your doll. You can pinch and manipulate him. He is very good now, so you can't just stay in peace? Didn't you see that he is no longer a student because of you?" ?"

Seeing that her eyes were full of anger, he continued, "Look at him now, look at the other students, or me, who is not carefree? But what about him, do you know what he is doing now?"

He gritted his teeth: "He is now moving goods, cash register, and working part-time in the supermarket. Don't you feel very pitiful? He has endured it for so many years, and you still treat him like this?"

Mei Ting opened her mouth, unable to speak, the person in front of her was glamorous, but... this is not the reason for them to be together.

"Children from poor families are already in charge of the family, and there are more poor people. You are harming him. If you don't make a distinction, I will go to your head teacher and divide him even if he is transferred." She said stubbornly.

"It's unreasonable." Ji Xi stood up and left, why did the child from a poor family take charge of the family?Why are there so many suffering people?Is this what she should say?

Has Shu Xia's suffering in the past few years been taken for granted?

Simply incomprehensible!

"Stop!" she cried.

Ji Xi turned a deaf ear.

The next moment a cup hit his back, he turned his head and frowned at her ferocious appearance, then looked at the milk tea all over his body, suppressed the anger in his heart, calmly shook the hem of his clothes, turned a blind eye to the surrounding eyes, opened the door and went out.

Depend on!

If it wasn't for Shu Xia's sake, who would dare to treat him like this?

Fuck it!

He was so angry that he wanted to beat someone, he kicked the electric pole at the door hard, cursed unreasonably, and walked away.

Feeling irritable, he bought a pack of cigarettes in the nearby store and smoked. He felt mixed feelings and felt inexplicable, so why did he come to him?

Didn't she have quarreled with Shu Xia many times?If you can't be persuaded, just start with him?

He didn't know what Shu Xia would encounter every time he went back to live. He wouldn't let him follow him, and he would only send him to the road below his house every time, and he wouldn't let him go up, let alone stay with him for one night.

The sun was so hot that it made his skin tingle. He looked up and walked towards the shadow of the nearby shop door. The weather was so hot that even people couldn't cheer up, and there were few pedestrians on the road.

Shu Xia...was she smiling at him while bearing the fucking bombardment?I never talk about the grievances at home, and it seems that I have no worries when I go to school, and I never mention family matters.

Is it all suppressed in the bottom of my heart?

He took a deep breath, looked at the glare of the road, and glanced at his watch, at least 500 yuan, is this part-time job trying to make up for the gap?

Cherishing Momo, Shu Xia is the treasure he found, and he can't break up no matter what.

I didn't plan to tell him about it. He is very busy and tired now.

He studied late every day, had to work part-time, and couldn't gain weight. He suddenly hated this small county town with backward educational resources. Shu Xia didn't have a good learning environment here.

The economy is not good either. I can only earn a few tens of dollars a day at a part-time job, and I work hard all day just for those tens of dollars.

There is still a burden at home, and things come out from time to time, here, it is like a cage.

He felt restrained, let alone Shu Xia, who was living in restraint.

He couldn't help but want to swear, he took out his earphones to listen to the song, the song Shu Xia wrote for him was actually not as good as Shu Xia's own song, and he had to run forward even if he was carrying a heavy load. Too much.

The deep melody and familiar voice in the earphones drove away the irritability in his heart. He heaved a sigh of relief and walked slowly to the apartment.

It's better to study the questions carefully and help Shu Xia get a good grade in the exam is the right way.

In other respects, if he wanted to help Shu Xia, he would not accept it, and would even get angry.

He is really a high school student with a lot of self-esteem.

Shu Xia is still at the supermarket during the holidays. The proprietress thinks that he is serious about his work and can come here whenever he is free on weekends and holidays, but the salary is low. After all, he is only a part-time job, and he can only come to the part-time job two days a week. It is good to accept it. .

Shu Xia didn't ask for anything.

Although the road of tutoring is very easy, there are very few students who need tutoring in this place, especially during the class. Who has the spare money to find a tutor during school?

For those with better conditions, they all find teachers to make up for it, and a sophomore like him is rarely needed.

Ji Xi spent more than 1000 yuan on his birthday, and he was removed from the ten thousand yuan household again.

Recently, the expenses are really too big, ranging from taking the bus to buying medicines for Mei Ting, eating and drinking, toilets, school supplies, daily necessities...there are too many.

The money he makes is so meager that he can barely reach a balance, and there is nothing he can do to save money.

He didn't want to touch Mei Ting's money, even though it was very annoying to make him break up and threaten him about transferring to another school, he still didn't think about leaving her alone.

He wants to wait a little longer, when the college entrance examination is over, when he is full-fledged, he can leave here, even if he is too tired to touch the ground, he still wants to leave here.

From now on, Mei Ting's living expenses will be guaranteed every month, and it would be great if she can be sent to a nursing home, so there is no need to be so worried.

"Shu Xia, goods are available in the third area." Someone shouted.

Shu Xia responded, pulled herself together, and worked hard.

I may be too tired recently, I always feel that I don’t have enough energy, my energy is not good, and I don’t play games very much. The main reason is that the mobile phone is not easy to use. In order to buy a new one, he can continue his money-making business.

Because of the college entrance examination, many cars on the street have posted that candidates are free, candidates come on... He is looking forward to it but also worried, the recent exams are always not going well, good and bad, never surpassing Ji Xi, always falling short A few cents vary from ten to ten cents, a proper second child of ten thousand years.

He looked away, took out his phone and looked at it, but there was no news of Ji Xi.

Taking advantage of the time when he was not busy, he sent a sentence: "Don't come to pick me up at night, go back to live today."

After taking back his mobile phone, he continued to collect the cash.

There is only one month of summer vacation, what does he have to do?

He had to make up classes during the summer vacation, and there was too little time to work. Moreover, once the summer vacation came, he couldn't stay at Ji Xi's house anytime and anywhere, and had to go back to face Mei Ting.

It sucks to think about it.

Mei Ting has been doing nothing recently, staying in an empty house, selling other people's vegetables for a few rounds, and her planting has almost been covered by weeds.

Shu Xia didn't know what was going on in her mind, she wanted to live like a walking dead.

Ji Xi didn't know why he went there, and he didn't reply to the message, so he went straight back to Dawanzi.

He didn't go back for two days, he didn't know how she was doing, and he didn't dare to provoke her anymore, for fear of causing other problems and going to the hospital again.

There is no one in the house. Although I don’t usually see anyone, I always feel empty in my heart. The environment is too quiet and the room is full of humidity.

Mei Ting didn't know where she was going, so he opened all the doors for ventilation and turned on the lights to drive away the emptiness that filled the room.

The fence at the gate has not been repaired since it was removed last time. It is mixed with the weeds in the vegetable field, like an uninhabited haunted house.

The camellias were slumped by the sun, he sighed and tidied up slowly.

When no one came back at midnight, he took out his mobile phone to make a call.

After thinking for a long time, no one answered.

What are you doing?

It was Ji Xi who sent a message: OK.

He frowned, something was wrong, Ji Xi's tone...it didn't sound like his tone, never did he bitterly say that he didn't care about him, didn't love him...it took a lot of work to be satisfied, why this time? so calm?

He replied: What's wrong?

This time I replied quickly: It’s okay, it’s fine, eat well, sleep well, don’t worry about me, just go, leave me alone, let me fend for myself, I can do it by myself sleep and eat...

He couldn't help but snort, what's wrong?

Isn't this quite a joke?

Feeling relieved, he continued to call Mei Ting, but he still didn't get through.

what's the situation?

Unable to bear the worry, he took the door to look for someone, but he didn't know where to look.

The knock on the door interrupted Ji Xi's train of thought, he threw the test paper aside, and couldn't help thinking that Shu Xia knew it was wrong?came back?

He opened the door happily, the smile on his face froze.

"What's the matter?" He put away his smile.

"Where's Xiao Xia?" Mei Ting stood at the door, looking inside.

"He's gone back." Ji Xi didn't let her in, how did this person know that he lived here?Only Qi Xin and Shu Xia know where he lives, it can't be what they said, it can only be...

"Are you following me? Or Shu Xia?" He frowned and asked in disbelief.

"Don't worry about it." She dropped the words and left.

Depend on!

what's the situation?

Found his home?

Ji Xi opened the door and called out to her, "Auntie, what do you want to do?"

"Let you break up. I'll contact the teacher of No. [-] Middle School and turn back." She seemed a little complacent.

Ji Xi was so angry that he clenched his fingers and tried to keep calm, "Auntie, this matter depends on Shu Xia's wishes, it's not something you can do alone."

"Don't worry about it." She left the words and went downstairs.

Depend on!

Unreasonable, inexplicable!

He went back and called Shu Xia during the call.

Fuck!

Call again and it works.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Ji Xi: "Your mother wants to transfer you to another school? Transfer back to No. [-] Middle School?"

"Ah?" He was surprised, "No..."

He reacted and turned up the volume, "She went to look for you? Are you okay? Ji Xi, talk, is she still there?"

Anxious, frightened.

Only then did Ji Xi come to his senses, cursing himself and comforting him in a hurry: "No, no, I'm fine, I just told me to transfer you away, she's gone, don't worry, I'm fine, it's you, you have no idea?"

"I don't know, it's not..." My heart was in a mess, and I was furious, "Damn it, when am I going to transfer schools? Let me ask the situation first, are you really okay?"

Ji Xi felt his impatience and being confused like a headless chicken: "I'm fine, don't worry, the transfer depends on your wishes, it's not up to her to decide, calm down, I'll come to you."

"Don't." He yelled hastily, "You stay at home, lock the door, just stay, I'll take care of it, I'll take care of it."

He hung up the phone.

Ji Xi couldn't help cursing in a low voice, grabbed the key and ran downstairs.

Not seeing Mei Ting, he rode his bike out of the garage and drove to Dawanzi, like this every time, otherwise he would not let him feel at ease.

Shu Xia is about to die of anger, when will he transfer schools?To find Ji Xi on his own initiative, to transfer him to another school?

Are you looking for trouble with Ji Xi?

How many times did you find it?

He couldn't help but want to smash something, looked around, except for a mobile phone, there were stones, weeds, and trees all around, he couldn't help kicking the tree trunk.

I glanced at the dark road, and behind me were brightly lit houses.

She really didn't know how to vent the anger and fear in her heart, but she actually went to find Ji Xi, and did she know where Ji Xi lived?

Stalking or who told her?

He is not afraid to speculate on people with the worst malice, but she has a criminal record, so she is not credible, and she doesn't dare to believe it.

What if she did to Ji Xi?What is he going to do?

Thinking of this makes me afraid for a while.

Too frightened, haunting him like a nightmare, I can't help but imagine that if Ji Xi was killed by him, if he was hurt, if... like Shu Daqing, his death would not be enough.

The unstoppable imagination led him into the abyss, and he couldn't help trembling. What if it really happened?She dared to go to Ji Xi, how could she do this?

How could this be?

How can you hurt him again and again?

Why can't you stay well?Why bother?

Leave what should be taken care of, and make up his own mind for what should not be taken care of. All he has left is the school and discipline seats, and even these must be taken away. How can he be so cruel?

Are you willing to let him die?

Didn't it hurt him?

Are you familiar?

The darkness shrouded him, and his heart was full of pessimism. He couldn't help but think about it once and for all, and it would be easy once the fire was burned.

But, Ji Xi, he still has Ji Xi.

But what if Mei Ting hurts him?If he was like Shu Daqing, he clenched his arms and bit down hard, suppressing the fear all over his body.

Stuck in an endless loop, he can't find a way out.

He wanted to catch Ji Xi, but he was also afraid that Mei Ting would hurt him, so he wanted to be a coward and abandon everything, no matter what.

Why did he push him like this?

When Ji Xi rushed up the path, he almost bumped into a person on the side of the road. He was so frightened that he turned sharply and braked suddenly. He saw Shu Xia squatting on the side of the road, hugging his knees, buried his head, and remained motionless.

He immediately got out of the car and ran over to hug him, "Xiao Xia, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, don't be afraid."

Shu Xia raised her head, with tears all over her face, she grabbed his clothes and cried loudly: "Ji Xi, I can't take it anymore!"

"It's okay, I'm here, Brother Xi is covering you, it's okay!" He comforted.

"Why is she always like this? Why can't she stay well? Why should she meddle in her own business? Why should she meddle in my business?"

"It's like this every time. Why do you drag me when you fall? Why?"

Ji Xi hugged him tightly, comforting him constantly.

After crying for a long time, he calmed down and sat on the ground blankly, exhausted and negative.

"Brother Xi, did she talk to you about breaking up?" He sighed, "How about..."

"Shu Xia!" Ji Xi squeezed his arm tightly, with anger, "Don't let me hear that sentence, it's only three things, don't treat my heart like a stone and step on it at will, then what's the matter with you and your mother?" The difference? I'm not a machine, you all know it's uncomfortable, so I don't feel uncomfortable?"

He gritted his teeth: "Don't say that sentence again, understand?"

"But, Brother Xi... I can't protect you, I can't even protect myself." He lowered his head decadently.

"Who the hell wants you to protect you? I covered you, so I can protect you." Ji Xi pulled him up, "Come back with me, this is not your home."

He staggered a few steps, his legs were already numb, and he couldn't stand still. He was dizzy, and his eyes were dark.

Ji Xi hurriedly caught him, looking anxiously at his pale face, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." He stabilized his body, "It's just that my legs are numb after squatting for a long time."

Ji Xi put his arm on his shoulder, took him into the car, started the car and left.
