First dawn

Blood dripped from Qiao Jue's palm, Yi Xiao gave Zhou Yao a head-on blow, kicked him away, and grabbed Qiao Jue's injured hand. The knife marks were deep and the blood flowed endlessly.Lin Chenghan fell to the ground, and the blood gushing out was dyeing the black coat into a darker color.

"Call an ambulance!" The knife was stopped halfway by Qiao Jue, but Lin Chenghan was still not clearly injured.

Yi Xiao stepped forward with a cold face, raised his leg and kicked Zhou Yao who was still lying on the ground panting, and kicked Zhou Yao on the forehead, Yi Xiao added another kick, blood remained from Zhou Yao's forehead, someone went to He wanted to stop him, but was punched away by Yi Xiao. Yi Xiao's eyes were cold, and he gradually landed on the folding knife on the ground.

"Enough." Qiao Jue raised his uninjured hand, barely touching the corner of Yi Xiao's clothes, but Yi Xiao stopped all movements and retreated to Qiao Jue's side.

Most of the people in the room were just gambling, but not desperate. Seeing this scene, they were all dumbfounded and froze in place.In just a few tens of seconds, the flashing red and blue police lights passed through a small bungalow under the long slope, and stopped in front of Zhou Cui's house. The local police obviously knew Zhou Cui's casino, and they were obviously familiar with the road.

However, this time, what they saw was not the gamblers running around, but the mess and blood on the ground and the pale people lying on the ground. After the police car came, it was the ambulance from the county hospital. Qiao Jue and Yi Xiao was silent, watching Lin Chenghan being carried into the ambulance on a stretcher.

Yi Xiao asked the nurse for sterile cotton balls and gauze to help Qiao Jue bandage the knife wound on his palm.

The big black and white dog finally knew that he had caused trouble. He squatted down at Yi Xiao's feet, wagged his tail, and spat out the tattered doll that had been bitten in his mouth. The dirty doll fell to the ground, with cotton wool scattered all over the place.

Zhou Cui's eyes were like seeing a ghost. Lying on the ground with the doll, there was also a transparent bag containing some white crystals. The moment they saw the bag, the police officers looked more serious.There are casinos everywhere in the north of the city, and they can't control it thoroughly, but drugs are different. Zhou's family found many bags containing white powder, and Zhou Cui's face gradually turned gray.

When the residents near Tongzilou heard the movement of the police car and dared to go out to look around, everything in the bungalow was settled, the injured were carried away, and many people in the bungalow were taken away by the police car, leaving the bungalow empty. Suddenly there was no human voice, but there was a bit more decadence.

"Two students, we understand the basic situation, can I trouble you to go back with us and make a record?" The leading policeman suddenly remembered that there were two other people in the room.

"Okay, I have to bring the dog." Yi Xiao said.

Xu Hong had already fallen asleep, so he probably wouldn't watch this kind of commotion. Qiao Jue went back to his room and sent a text message to Xu Hong, informing him of the basic situation, and got into a police car with Yi Xiao.

The police car drove across the Lianhe Bridge, and outside the half-closed car window, there was a gust of cool night wind. Just as Qiao Jue felt a little cold, Yi Xiao had already stretched out his hand to close the car window.

"Xiao Qiao, happy birthday." Yi Xiao leaned over and whispered in his ear, and only then did Qiao Sui realize that the time on the phone was exactly zero o'clock.

It was obviously not the best birthday he had ever experienced, and it was obviously a strange experience of being in a police car at twelve o'clock, but Qiao Jue felt moved for no reason.

"Take the police car in the middle of the night." Yi Xiao sensed Qiao Jue's slowness, and teased him, "We can be regarded as a life-threatening friendship."

"Yes." It was obviously a joke that didn't need to be answered, but Qiao Jue responded seriously. Yi Xiao felt a little itchy in her heart, but she didn't dare to move in consideration of Qiao Jue's wound.

Lianxing in the middle of the night is a quiet and lonely city. The lights of Snow Flower City illuminate half of the sky. In just one day, too many things happened. Qiao Jue was a little tired. Leaning his head on Yi Xiao's shoulder, he closed his eyes.

Yi Xiao, who was struggling with her small thoughts, suddenly felt the weight on her shoulders, and felt Qiao Jue's long breathing. At that moment, the difficult struggle in her heart that lasted for several months was completely over Failed.

With the starlight outside the car window, Qiao Jue's sleeping face was peaceful, but Yi Xiao couldn't be peaceful no matter what.

After that night, the small bungalow outside the Tongzilou was completely quiet. Zhou Cui and Zhou Yao, who were taken away, never came back. With a look of relish, they talked about Lin Fan who owed a lot of gambling debts and Lin Chenghan who was stabbed by Zhou Yao. Some people would think of the two teenagers who jumped into the bungalow from the second floor that night. Hong usually puts on a face and exits the conversation silently.In any case, the bungalow downstairs was completely quiet, and it was the residents upstairs and surrounding residents who benefited, except for Grandma Yan Lian on the second floor, who lost her job as a lookout. With resentment all over their faces, Qiao Jue naturally wouldn't respond, and Xu Hong didn't bother to bother.

On the other hand, the door of Lin Chenghan's house has been closed tightly since that day. Xu Lingyue came back once, crying and talking on the phone while leaving the second floor in a hurry. Lin Fan didn't know where he was going.The Tongzilou, which was originally lively and complicated, suddenly became quiet these days. Qiao Jue stayed in the house and could tell which house was coming in and out just by the sound of the wooden door, but now he couldn't hear the door outside his own wooden door. sounded.

However, these are not issues that Qiao Jue needs to pay attention to. The one thing he is most concerned about at present is that Yi Xiao seems to be not normal recently, for example——

As soon as Qiao Jue opened his eyes in the morning, he opened QQ and saw a sand sculpture head flashing on the screen.

Brother Xiaosa: "Morning, Xiao Qiao."

Doraemon: "Morning."

Brother Xiaosa: "You open the window."

Doraemon: "What are you doing?"

Although he was full of doubts, Qiao Jue did as he did, but as soon as he opened the window and looked downstairs, he saw Yi Xiao in a leather jacket and leather pants and a cool motorcycle.

Qiao Sui: "..."

When Qiao Jue went downstairs, Yi Xiao stuffed a cup of steaming soy milk into Qiao Jue's hand, and only after Qiao Jue sat firmly in the back seat did he drive steadily towards the school.Qiao Jue sat on the back seat of Yi Xiao's motorcycle with soy milk and rice dumplings in his arms, with a dazed expression on his face.

For another example, when the homework was collected after class in the morning, Yi Xiao took the initiative to stand up and take the English homework presented by the team leaders.

"Sit back." Yi Xiao said to Qiao Jue, "Your hand is still hurt."

Qiao Jue looked down at the palm of his right hand, there was a shallow white scar, which was almost invisible.Yi Xiao helped collect the homework, and Yi Xiao helped to do it on duty. Even walking was picked up and dropped off. Qiao Jue felt that if this continued, he would not be far from a useless person.

Chinese teacher Tao Ruizhi was analyzing a set of Chinese test papers that he had written recently on the podium. Qiao Jue looked at Yi Xiao beside him, who was staring at a Chinese test paper in a daze. On the grid paper for the composition, a string of stick figures were drawn on the test paper, and the range of the test paper was drawn, and it was drawn on the Chinese textbook underneath. Recently, besides being overly attentive, Yi Xiao often showed absent-mindedness.

"Yi Xiao." Qiao Jue lowered his voice and poked the person next to him with his pen.

Yi Xiao didn't move, Qiao Sui frowned.

"Yi Xiao?" Qiao Jue poked again.

Didn't move.

"Smile!" Qiao Jue slapped the table.

"Ah!" Yi Xiao was clever, roared, and came back to his senses.

The textbook and blackboard eraser in the hands of the Chinese teacher fell to the ground with a bang, and she stared dumbfounded at the two people in the back row. Dozens of pairs of eyes in the class looked at the second-to-last row. think.

Qiao Sui: "..."

"I'm sorry, teacher. Let's go out and solve it. You can continue with the class." Yi Xiao, who came back to his senses, acted very calmly. While coaxing Teacher Tao, he pulled Qiao Jue's sleeve and left the teaching building.

Yi Xiao, who recovered from the Chinese class, performed exceptionally well, leading Qiao Jue all the way to the parallel bars, not forgetting to buy a pair of double skin milk for Qiao Jue, and then spoke slowly.

"What did you call me just now?" Yi Xiao raised his head and looked at Qiao Jue who was sitting on the parallel bars and holding a pair of skin milk. The sun passed over Qiao Jue's hair and fell on Yi Xiao's palm.

"Smile." Qiao Jue didn't hide it, and opened his mouth slowly and clearly, "Smile, tell me, what's going on recently."

Yi Xiao: "..." If Yi Hanxiang had called him that, he would have run away impatiently, but when the same name was spoken from Qiao Jue's mouth, he felt something different.

Yi Xiao cursed in a low voice, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she nimbly climbed onto the parallel bars, sat beside Qiao Jue, clasped Qiao Jue's left wrist with her right hand, and said through gritted teeth, "Speaking bluntly, I want to chase you. "

Contrary to Yi Xiao's expectations, Qiao Jue didn't show a surprised look, nor did he scold him for being unreasonable, but put on a relieved look.

Yi Xiao: "You...won't you say something?"

Qiao Jue lowered his head, Yi Xiao's right hand was tightly grasping his left wrist, the force was not small, and there was some pain, but Yi Xiao didn't notice it at all, with a nonchalant expression on his face, one could see Yi Xiao's heart, is nervous.

Qiao Jue didn't try to take his hand away from Yi Xiao's, but just smiled and said, "When did it start?"

"Late last summer." Yi Xiao said frankly.

This time Qiao Jue was a little stunned: "So early?"

Yes, Yi Xiao answered silently in his heart. At first, he saw something similar to himself in Qiao Jue, and he couldn't help but want to get closer. After getting closer, he realized that there seemed to be sunshine on Qiao Jue, making him struggling in the dark people, irresistible.

Qiao Jue didn't wait for Yi Xiao's answer, but the other party looked at him firmly all the time, which made him have to face the problem at hand. Obviously, he was only tacit at first, but people are always greedy. Similar people in different worlds are attracted to each other, neither of them are willing to tacitly know each other, and they always want to get closer desperately.

Now that Yi Xiao is sincere, he will not let him down.

"Then you caught up with me, classmate Yi Xiaoxiao."
