Xia Chang

Liu Xiaobai held the dinner plate alone. He walked through the passing people and found a seat in the corner of the cafeteria.

The weather has turned warmer, and the four seasons here are not as distinct as in the north. The transition between summer and winter seems to be getting shorter and shorter. It is still very hot at noon, and the students are all wearing summer clothes.

Liu Xiaobai was waiting for Zhang Nian to come over. He took his mobile phone and sent a message, saying, "It's right here by the window."

He sat with his back facing most of the people, and after darkening the phone, he held the chopsticks in his hands. There were many people talking behind him, and it was a mess in his ears, but the familiar voice always attracted attention.

"You're not like him." Probably Teng Xi's voice.

Liu Xiaobai didn't turn his head immediately, he bowed his waist in the corner, trying not to attract attention, and then, he heard a boy say: "He left you and ran away... He didn't lift him, he brought something by himself He ran away again, never seen anything like this."

"Stop talking, I'm not telling you to scold him, everyone gets together and breaks up."

"Why don't you say it? He has been cold and violent to you for so long, and I feel so distressed when I hear it..."

"Shut up and eat, it's all over, besides, I ignored him."

Liu Xiaobai had a mouthful of food in his mouth. Hearing this, he suddenly stood up, turned around, and wanted to find Zhang Nian, but there were too many people in his sight. Everyone was wearing the same school uniform, so it was hard to tell who was who. up.

Teng Xi was sitting not far away, facing a boy of a different grade. She was holding chopsticks and sending red pepper shreds from the plate to the boy's plate.

The boy had a neat cropped cut. He inserted the plastic straw into the yoghurt and handed it to Tengxi's mouth.

His voice was lingering in his throat, like a malfunctioning electric fan in a closed room, he said: "I knew Zhang Nian from the beginning, he looks like a dead mother all day long, isn't he the leader of an orchestra? I thought I was amazing..."

In an instant, Liu Xiaobai's throat was sore due to his anger. He stared at the two people not far away and swallowed half of the food in his mouth. Advise him: "Don't be angry, it's over."

The huge air conditioner was not far away, when the wind blew on his face, Liu Xiaobai felt every hair stand on end, as if he was being stumbled by something, he didn't know whether to move forward or back, he stared at the boy's back, stared at His neck, which was half exposed outside the collar, stared at his fingers holding the chopsticks.

The sky outside is high, showing a light blue like water.

It was as if someone had pressed a switch, causing the joints of Liu Xiaobai's whole body to exert strength. He suddenly rushed forward, and with a fierce gesture, he tore off the boy from the chair and pressed him to the ground.

Anger gave Liu Xiaobai a headache, his ears could no longer accommodate the noise and screams around him, he only felt happy every moment when his fist fell, and then there was sharper anger.

During the tens of seconds of the fight, there was only the smell of stranger's sweat in his nostrils.

Liu Xiaobai's arm was almost twisted, his nose started to bleed, it was hot, with a strange fishy smell, he was thrown on the sharp right angle of the cafeteria table, the blood left on his forehead, covering his face Eyelashes and eyes.

"Smelly bastard, your brain is flooded." The boy still grabbed Liu Xiaobai's collar, his body was shrouded in Liu Xiaobai's eyes, as if he was forcing the beast to a certain death situation, Teng Xi rushed up, A group of people finally tore the boy apart.

Liu Xiaobai stood up, blood was flowing down his cheeks, and later, it was on his chest and on the ground, he staggered like a drunk doll, went to the dining table, looking for his mobile phone.

He could see Zhang Nian, but his eye sockets were filled with blood and tears, and his mouth was also hot. Liu Xiaobai raised his hand to wipe the blood on his face, feeling very sticky.

The real summer is gone, but autumn has not come yet. Liu Xiaobai is like a piece of paper that has been galloping in the wind for a long time. Before he fainted completely, he grabbed the arm of a strange classmate nearby.

The newly built inpatient building of the Third Hospital looks like a large building, and it was the first time Wang Yanwen saw it.

The original plan was to let Liu Yi come, but after receiving Fan Jingwen's call, Wang Yanwen was restless. She took time to change into clean long-sleeved trousers, and hurriedly carried the newly bought leather bag on her back.

Liu Xiaobai lying on the hospital bed was quite relaxed. He seemed not afraid of anything suddenly, staring at the ceiling and saying, "Teacher Fan, I was wrong."

"Don't talk, don't talk first," Fan Jingwen's expression is not good-looking, and she has to care about Liu Xiaobai's injury at any time. She stood at the end of the bed, and when she saw Wang Yanwen coming in, she immediately went up to her and said, "Mother Xiaobai, Hello."

Wang Yanwen's eyes wandered after saying hello, and finally stayed on Liu Xiaobai's damaged face. Her eyes trembled, and she said, "Teacher Fan, I'm sorry, I didn't educate my children well, and I caused you trouble."

"You don't need to apologize to me. His injury isn't serious. He fainted because he didn't eat and was exhausted. The cut on his forehead won't leave a scar as long as it recovers."

Liu Xiaobai turned his head to look at the empty wall on the other side.

Wang Yanwen went forward to see Liu Xiaobai's injury, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Are you going to piss me off?"

"I was wrong," the three words came out of Liu Xiaobai's mouth lightly in a breathy voice. He closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then suddenly ignored the needle in his hand and sat up straight, looking at Fan Jingwen. Said, "That classmate said that Zhang Nian killed his mother and scolded him a bunch of bad words. I just couldn't help it. I'm sorry, I shouldn't be able to—"

"I told you not to play with Zhang Nian!"

The corners of Wang Yanwen's eyes turned red instantly, her words were so sharp and helpless, she squeezed them straight out of her throat, he looked at Liu Xiaobai's face, and resisted giving him a slap.

She also said: "What kind of family and background are they, what kind of family are you, if you mix with their young masters, what can they treat you as, is to treat you as a younger brother, and to stand in front of everything you do? You still care about other people's mothers, look at your own mother..."

"Calm down, Xiaobai's mother, no matter what the facts are, I can assure you that there is no such thing as what you said. Xiaobai is usually very self-respecting and confident. He will not be anyone's younger brother. Let's discuss the matter today, without thinking and diverging. As Fan Jingwen was talking, she pulled Wang Yanwen to sit on the stool by the bed, handed her a tissue, and stroked her back.

Liu Xiaobai buried his head down, and after a while, he said, "We are just good friends, you have friends too, don't you?"

He changed his eyes in an instant, and when he looked at Wang Yanwen, his face was full of indifferent and clear emotions. He was very stubborn and seemed very immature, and he rarely talked to Wang Yanwen directly like this.

Wang Yanwen couldn't control her tears again, and scolded him: "It's reasonable to fight, isn't it? Your dad and I got up early and worked late for you, and we both couldn't bear to buy this or that, it's all because of you—"

"I didn't say I was right!" Liu Xiaobai's confession that had been pent up in front of Wang Yanwen for a long time finally exploded this time. He suddenly stopped her accusation and said, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I mentioned Zhang Nian is Because I need to explain the reason, not to shirk responsibility..."

Fan Jingwen bit her lower lip, and a second after Liu Xiaobai's tears fell, she forcibly took Wang Yanwen outside the ward.

Liu Xiaobai doesn't want to cry, but the arguments with Wang Yanwen will always hit his tears inexplicably. The inability to communicate is the norm in his family. Liu Yi is a machismo, so he is indifferent to himself. Getting angry more and more.

In fact, it is often nothing serious. In fact, Liu Xiaobai's family is not particularly poor.

"Don't get so close to Zhang Nian. You can't afford the things they play. Don't ask for trouble. We are lucky if we can eat enough and wear warmth. You don't even know how short of money we have recently." Wang Yanwen's voice didn't stop, she peeled a newly bought peach by the bed, cut off a piece and stuffed it into Liu Xiaobai's mouth.

Fan Jingwen has already gone back to school, and the matter needs to be dealt with further. Liu Xiaobai bit the piece of peach and didn't chew it for a long time.

Liu Xiaobai held up his mobile phone to read the news, and said to Wang Yanwen: "I just play, it's my freedom to play with whoever I like."

Zhang Niankuang bombarded a lot of news. After he learned that Liu Xiaobai was fighting because of himself, he suddenly replied: "You really... have no brains."

"I'm out of my mind."

At this moment, Liu Xiaobai's hands were really shaking. After he clicked the send button, he suddenly locked the screen of the phone.

Clouds outside the window obscured the sun.
