silent garden

Chapter 11

In Xia Qi's evaluation, this excursion ended up being lackluster.

Because of his low mood, he went to the hotel restaurant with Fei Tianlan to have breakfast with shame, and learned from Lin Ge and Dandan that after he went back to sleep in the hotel yesterday, all the people who came to Fei Tianlan's birthday party came again. Another "carnival party" was held on the lower beach.

Lin Ge enthusiastically described the crazy scene in the water, the most prominent ones were what happened to the girls, and recommended them to Fei Tianlan one by one, but Dandan stopped them.

"Changing to become a chicken mother?" Dandan said sarcastically.

Lin Ge opened his mouth, did not refute, and said in a slightly aggrieved tone, "I just want to give my brother a good photo..."

His brother said: "Pull it down, how can I go out and play when I am alone?"

"The present is different from the past, brother, don't always think about playing! Play again, and play again to kill yourself! Think about the future!" Lin Ge's tone was really anxious.

After Xia Qi heard this, he raised his eyelids to look at him, seeing that he was worried about Fei Tianlan's old mother, and he was quite sincere.He actually didn't have much idea of ​​the worldliness of people like them, but at that time, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he understood the meaning of Lin Ge's words - the same idea as Uncle Wang, hurry up and find someone who can benefit each other people.

This is not only forced by the situation, but also Fei Tianlan's logical affiliation.

Xia Qi understood, and felt a little suffocated.He lowered his head and swallowed the last mouthful of steamed buns with the millet porridge, left a sentence "I'm full", and ran away.Even Fei Tianlan didn't answer when he asked him where he was going.

Later, Fei Tianlan went back to his room to look for him.For some reason, he smelled of alcohol again, and talked a lot.

"Those friends of mine have almost left. They gave me 3 or [-] yuan last night. They are not easy masters... There are no simple people with money and status in Pinggang City... but there are So many people came, and it exceeded my expectations. I originally only called people from my previous circle of friends, but they brought a lot of other people, even your classmate and their family. I don’t know them well, but they came They are all guests, I have to entertain them well, alas, I am so tired..."

He talked on his own, shouting that he was tired, but the pride in his tone was more than any other emotional color.As if these people could come today, they could be used by him tomorrow.

Xia Qi didn't know if all the big bosses had this inexplicable self-confidence, and he didn't bother to think about Fei Tianlan's intentions and plans in this birthday situation, let alone analyze his words.

He was just muffled.

Maybe it was because he seemed too sluggish, Fei Tianlan's high spirits and joy soon sank.She came over and scratched his ears protruding from the quilt, and asked him in a low voice what's the matter, if he is not feeling well.

"No." Xia Qi finally replied lazily, he was a bit soft-hearted, and he was not good at letting other people's good intentions meet too hard a wall.

Fei Tianlan said: "I'm sorry, I brought you out, and I didn't play with you well yesterday. I didn't tell you about the birthday party..." He explained seriously with rare sincerity, "I'm actually a little afraid of you I won’t come if I know it, but I really want to show you around, so I will cut it first and play it later, don’t be angry..."

"Well".It's hard for him to be so humble.

Xia Qi had no choice but to declare: "I'm not angry, not at all."

"Well, let's go somewhere else today! I know there is an old park on this island..."

He told him the history of the park with the eloquence of telling horror stories to a child.It is said that when it was first built in the early years, it was so beautiful and then it was abandoned and so barren.The plants grow tall, the rusty play equipment is lonely and weird inside, and the original ecology once again covers the man-made scene, which is "particularly eerie".

"Going to explore?" After finishing speaking, he became excited himself.

Xia Qi: "...I don't like wilderness adventures."

"You will definitely like it!" Fei Tianlan dragged him up.

In the end, Xia Qi went to that park with him, Lin Ge, and Dandan.

The park is at the other end of the town, and it took Dandan a 10-minute drive to get there.As a result, the park had been abandoned for too long, and half of the entrance had collapsed.The building that still has a glorious legacy is like a disabled Venus, the disabled part is blocked at the door, and cars cannot enter.The four of them stared at each other for a while in the car, and they unanimously decided to go home.

So, a good half a day was wasted like this, and the weekend is coming to an end.Have another lunch, go shopping by the sea, rest for a while, and return to Pinggang with nothing.

On Monday, Xia Qi arrived at school more than an hour earlier than usual.He didn't mean to get up earlier and leave earlier.He just can't sleep.

After returning home from Baishawan with Fei Tianlan, he went into his room on the pretext that he was not feeling well.While lying on the bed and thinking wildly, he heard that Fei Tianlan was so bored that he turned on the TV to watch, and within a few minutes he frantically called Lin Ge, saying that he wanted to go out to play.

Lin Ge probably agreed, so when the door slammed downstairs, only Xia Qi was left in the house.

See, he is nothing like you.You are not from the same world, and you cannot go together.

Thinking of this, he sighed to the air, or to himself.It was still very early, but he didn't have the strength to get up and love and kill the experimental data until the middle of the night, so he just lay down and fell asleep.I slept until the early hours of the morning.

When the sky was slightly bright, he could no longer fall asleep.He got up and walked around the house, then opened the door to look at the yard, making sure that Fei Tianlan hadn't come back.There is actually a feeling of being alone in an empty room.

He didn't like this feeling, so he simply packed up and went out.

Naturally, the door of the laboratory has not been opened yet, and the campus is very deserted during the holidays.Teaching buildings, dormitories, libraries, stadiums...everywhere exudes a sense of loneliness.

It was the first time he visited the school alone.After carefully looking at the floor plan of the nearest campus area, and having a general understanding of the school, I wandered around according to the map.The school is not small, but it doesn't take more than an hour to go shopping.

He finally stopped in a small garden not far from the laboratory, squatting and looking at the flowers blooming in summer.They are all flowers that are common in street greening and most easily overlooked by people.I've seen it so many times that I don't even know the name.

"Junior brother!" Zhou Huailuo's footsteps came from behind.

The other party ran over eagerly, patted Xia Qi on the shoulder, then squatted down, holding a piece of bread in his mouth, and looked at Xia Qi appreciatively.Swallowing the bread, he muttered, "Are you really sick? Judging by the look on your face, you still don't feel better!"

Xia Qi reacted for a while before realizing that the reason he asked Professor Ye for leave was illness.He pushed the boat along the way, and replied wearily: "It's okay."

Zhou Huailuo still stretched out his hand to touch Xia Qi's forehead, frowning: "It seems a little hot."

How can it be.Xia Qi patted his hand away, stood up and walked towards the laboratory: "I'm already healed, you are a psychological effect—do you have the key? Let's open the door."

Zhou Huailuo followed, thinking to himself, asking if it was because of the rain, the rain was too heavy that day, I really shouldn't have taken you there... Xia Qi kept silent, and he also "for the sake of the patient" Very generous, completely careless.

In this day's work, Zhou Huailuo rushed to do everything.

It's not the kind of courteousness, but it's like you haven't taken care of anyone before. It's a rare opportunity and you must hurry up and practice it.After using all the behaviors and lines of caring for the patients in the TV series, Xia Qi was short of evaluating and scoring them one by one.

Xia Qi thought, he is really keen on playing the role of elder brother's caregiver.

"Don't you live in Fei Tianlan's house? You're so sick that he doesn't take care of you?" It's not enough for me to be "considerate", this brother wants to slander Xia Qi's landlord, it's not at all the first meeting goodwill.

Xia Qi lazily replied: "He doesn't have time at home."

"Why don't you have time? Isn't he fired? What are you busy with?" Zhou Huailuo was filled with righteous indignation.

Xia Qi was stunned, "How do you know?"

Zhou Huailuo: "Know what?"

Xia Qi pursed his lips, his expression turned sad: "It's about his work."

Zhou Huailuo looked normal: "Everyone knows—I mean, 'us' people."

Seeing that Xia Qi was getting more and more worried after hearing this, he explained in more detail: "Everyone in Pinggang will pay attention to the matter of Sanjiang Group. There are many people who rely on Sanjiang for their livelihood, and many people hope that Sanjiang will collapse completely, so that they will be more profitable. Eat. Fei Tianlan was kicked out after taking over Sanjiang for two months, and from the moment it happened, it spread all over Pinggang."

"..." Xia Qi moved her lips, speechless.

"Hello." Zhou Huailuo touched his arm with his elbow and lowered his voice, "Did you listen to what I said that day?"

As soon as he asked, Xia Qi knew which sentence it was.But he wasn't about to admit it.With a sullen expression, he said righteously: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't...he doesn't either. I live in his house, so of course I care about his affairs."

Zhou Huailuo listened, and did not misunderstand the embarrassment of others at all.He is confident in his judgment.

"You can't be saved." He angrily concluded Xia Qi, and then said, "But my brother's care has already been given, I don't care if you insist on digging a hole for yourself, just don't cry at me when the time comes. There's nothing he can do to make you feel at ease."

Xia Qi feels that he is a relatively difficult person to communicate with, and he often jumps too much when communicating with people around him.Zhou Huailuo jumped even more than him, and when he was confident, he had an almost tough attitude, which made people feel that he couldn't change his views and thoughts.

Therefore, Xia Qi did not defend himself.After thinking about it, I said "Thank you."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Huailuo seemed to be stimulated by this thank you, and suddenly his eyes widened, showing an expression of disbelief.

Xia Qi was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Huailuo: "You admitted it!"

Xia Qi: "..." Not really.But, well, it's what he says it is.Xia Qi had a tacit expression on his face.

Zhou Huailuo became a little interested: "Since you admit it, let me tell you one more thing, I guess you don't know either."

This time he not only lowered his voice, but directly whispered in Xia Qi's ear, very mysteriously: "Fei Tianlan was framed by the United Nations, and the person who died was almost dead. With a dying life, The conspiracy of assisting those people killed Fei Tianlan and exchanged a lot of money for the family."

Hearing this, Xia Qi held his breath and froze.

After a while, he relaxed and asked, "Is this also known by everyone?"

"How is this possible? Of course it's my exclusive news." After Zhou Huailuo finished speaking, he stepped back and smiled at Xia Qi, "Junior Brother, you don't know me too well."

His smile is bright and simple, and his eyes are pure show off.

Xia Qi looked at him, doubting a person's truth and pretense self-taught.Although Zhou Huailuo usually looks like a child who is just like him, even younger in mental age, but after all, he grew up in a family of shopping malls in Pinggang.

In Fei Tianlan's words, no one like them is simple.

Xia Qi was silent for a long time, and after thinking purely by intuition, he tried to ask Zhou Huailuo: "Then how did you know this? Why did you tell me?"

"I'm kind." Zhou Huailuo shrugged and said, "If he still wants to know more, you can ask him to talk to my brother, and my brother will surprise him. But you really have to take care of him "Fei Tianlan, it's broken."

He blinked: "As a brother and friend, I will remind you one last time."
