Jinling love story
At the beginning of Chapter 1, I happened to bump into Tong Sirui, and Tong Zhe couldn't help a
on the sofa.Staring at the torn coats and grass clippings on the ground.
"I don't know..." Xia Ranjiang hesitated to speak, his eyes were a little dull.
"Have you met an enemy? It's not right. You have always left early and returned late, so you have no chance to make enemies with anyone." He Xiaoyu handed over a thermos.
Xia Ranjiang seemed numb.Pain can only be felt when the doctor disinfects the wound on the face.He Xiaoyu asked for a long time without finding out why, but suddenly thought of something, slipped out while Xia Ranjiang was not paying attention, and dialed Tong Zhe's cell phone.
At this time, Tong Zhe was spinning his pen with his chin resting in boredom.There was a stack of manuscript paper on the desk, with something densely written on it.
At this time, a light flashed in his sight, and an unfamiliar number appeared on the phone screen.
Tong Zhe suddenly felt upset, and pressed "Reject" heavily.
However, the same number lit up on the screen again.
"Why isn't this sales call dead?" Tong Zhe pressed the call again.
Less than a minute later, that number came up for the third time.
Tong Zhe just wanted to turn off the phone, but then he thought about it again, he had never been so persistent in a sales call, hesitated for a few seconds, and pressed "hands-free".
"Hello, Tong Zhe?"
"Who are you?"
Tong Zhe stood up, stretched, and yawned long.
"I'm He Xiaoyu, Xia Ranjiang's roommate. Xia Ranjiang was beaten, come here quickly."
"What? Xia Ranjiang was beaten? Where is he now? I'll go right away."
Tong Zhe's half-closed eyes suddenly widened with anger, his forehead was congested with blood, the pen in his hand was thrown on the desk, and the tip of the pen drew an arc on the manuscript paper.
Tong Zhe couldn't wait for He Xiaoyu to explain the specific situation, so he picked up the coat beside the bed, threw the scarf around his neck, put on his sneakers and ran out.
Tong Zhe felt like tens of thousands of ants were gnawing at his heart, and a piercing pain occupied his whole body.Along the way, Tong Zhe tried to call Xia Ranjiang, but no one answered, which made Tong Zhe feel more ominous.Tong Zhe banged his head heavily on the glass of the taxi.Remorse, self-blame, and worry, Tong Zhe hugged himself silently, as if he was hugging Xia Ranjiang.
"Xia Ranjiang, please don't worry, I only have you in this life."
Rushing to the school quickly, Tong Zhe frantically asked where Xia Ranjiang was.Seeing He Xiaoyu waving to him from a distance, he ran over quickly.
"Something is wrong. The doctor just transferred him to the hospital for further observation." He Xiaoyu followed Tong Zhe.
"What's wrong? Which hospital? What's going on? Why did you get beaten up so well? Who the hell beat him? I let him die!" Tong Zhe's roar echoed throughout the hall of the infirmary, and He Xiaoyu was a little dazed. .
"Calm down first, there is no serious injury, just take it to the hospital to be safe..."
"Calm down? How can you tell me to be calm? Do you know that I am suffering to death? Do you know?" Tong Zhe almost lost his mind, his eyes were red.
"Let's go to the hospital."
"Which hospital?"
"Jianning Hospital."
Hearing the name of the hospital, Tong Zhe calmed down a little and took out his phone.
"Mom, Xia Ranjiang had an accident and is now in your hospital."
"Just sent it over? Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Son, don't worry, go home first. I'll take care of it at the hospital."
Tong Zhe hung up the phone and seemed to be much more stable.
At this time, a taxi stopped in front of the medical building.
"I called a car, let's go to the hospital first."
Along the way, Tong Zhe sat in the back row, tilting his head and looking out the window, eerily quiet.He Xiaoyu sat on the co-pilot with his seat belt buckled tightly, and from time to time squinted upwards to see Tong Zhe in the rearview mirror—in He Xiaoyu's impression, the words arrogant, unruly, and domineering seemed tailor-made for Tong Zhe.But now, Tong Zhe in the rearview mirror curled up against the car window, like a stray cat abandoned in the wind and snow, its fur was soaked and trembling all over.
As soon as the taxi stopped, Tong Zhe almost jumped out and ran into the hospital. As soon as He Xiaoyu came back to his senses, Tong Zhe had long since disappeared.
When He Xiaoyu asked about the ward, he went in and found that Tong Zhe was already sitting beside Xia Ranjiang's bed.Xia Ranjiang's head was wrapped in gauze, his forehead was a little swollen, and his face was pale.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, Tong Zhe looked back, then turned sideways and wiped his eyes.
"After the doctor's examination, he was malnourished, and his body was a little weak. He also had a slight concussion, skin trauma, and probably was frightened. There will be no serious problems."
He Xiaoyu came over, looked carefully at Xia Ranjiang, and saw Tong Zhe's moist eyes.
"Hmm." Tong Zhe sighed slightly. "Thanks."
"Ah...thank me for what you are doing. They are all classmates..."
He Xiaoyu was a little surprised, originally thought that Tong Zhe would question him, and was thinking about how to respond.
"Come here." Tong Zhe pointed to the corridor outside the ward, and He Xiaoyu followed out knowingly.
"What exactly is going on?"
"I wonder too. Usually Xia Ranjiang is pretty normal... Oh, by the way, he's been a little abnormal these two days, and he doesn't want to talk, so he just fell asleep like this. I guess he hasn't eaten all day today. , I went back at night and saw that the food on his table hadn’t been touched.”
"Only these two days?"
"Yeah, I don't know the situation. Although it's normal to have good or bad emotions, I really don't understand how he offended people. Xia Ranjiang has never liked to be in contact with too many people, and most of the time he is It's too weird to be beaten today while reading and studying for no reason."
"car……"
There was a faint cry from the ward, and Tong Zhe hurried back.
"cell phone……"
"Xia Ranjiang, I'm here, what do you want?" Tong Zhe grabbed Xia Ranjiang's outstretched hand and held it tightly to his chest.
"cell phone……"
"Did he lose his phone?"
He Xiaoyu looked around and found Xia Ranjiang's coat and trousers. After digging for a long time, he found nothing but his campus card and dozens of dollars in change.
"No wonder I haven't answered the call." Tong Zhe thought to himself.
"Hey, how did this happen?"
He Xiaoyu fumbled and took out a hanging chain from the inner pocket of his jacket.
"Xia Ranjiang, where did you lose your phone?" He Xiaoyu asked.
"Route 21..."
"21... Road?" He Xiaoyu thought he heard it wrong, and leaned down to Xia Ranjiang's ear.
Hearing Xia Ranjiang's dreamlike self-talk, Tong Zhe was puzzled at first, then his heart skipped a beat, and he understood everything.
"I know where I lost it. You wait, I will look for it, and I must find it."
Along the way, Tong Zhe always felt as if a big rock had grown out of his chest, making him unable to breathe. No. 21 is the nearest bus line to Tong Zhe's house.Thinking that Xia Ranjiang might come to him by car in the middle of the night because he was worried that he might be worried, Tong Zhe sighed a long time, and actually felt a little guilty in his heart.
At the No. 21 bus stop, Tong Zhe turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and looked around.Finally, I saw a withered yellow grass field beside the river that had been trampled into a mess, and the soil at the bottom had been turned up.The mobile phone got closer, and a silver reflected light attracted Tong Zhe's attention.Take a closer look, isn't that Xia Ranjiang's cell phone?
Tong Zhe strode forward, pushed aside the intertwined dead branches above, and picked up the phone.
"It's okay, the phone is not broken."
Tong Zhe wiped the screen of the phone with his cuff, and looked carefully up and down.Maybe it was dropped in the mud, but the phone was not scratched.
Tong Zhe stuffed his mobile phone into the inner pocket of his coat, and was about to turn around and go back when he stepped on something again.Tong Zhe didn't care, what he wanted at the moment was to return to Xia Ranjiang as soon as possible.
On the way back, Tong Zhe took out Xia Ranjiang's cell phone again.For some reason, Tong Zhe began to feel nervous.
"What's in the phone? Maybe there's some secret."
The mobile phone was tossed and turned in Tong Zhe's hands, turning on the screen for a while, and turning it off again for a while.
"No, no, no, you can't peek at his phone. What would I do if that happened."
Tong Zhe struggled for a while, and his knuckles accidentally touched the screen."Please enter your password" is displayed on the screen.
"I'll just try it without looking at the contents."
Tong Zhe thought for a while and entered Xia Ranjiang's birthday.The phone vibrated, indicating an input error.
"The boy is quite thoughtful." Tong Zhe's mouth turned up, and his heart suddenly became more at ease.
"Could it be...my birthday?"
A thought popped into Tong Zhe's mind.Tong Zhe suddenly felt his heart beat faster again, and his heart and brain fell into a contradiction again - if the input is correct, it proves that he still has a high status in Xia Ranjiang's heart; if the input is wrong, it also shows that Xia Ranjiang is quite smart.
Whether it's true or not, it's worth a try.
Tong Zhe stared at the nine-square grid of numbers, as if he was facing a treasury. Just four simple numbers can get hundreds of millions of wealth.Tong Zhe held his breath, hesitated for a moment, nervously almost forgot his birthday.
But when he was about to enter the last number, a dialog box popped up on the screen indicating that the battery was low, and then it turned off automatically.
"Damn. What a broken phone." Tong Zhe didn't say anything, grabbed the phone and stuffed it back into his pocket.
The car stopped in front of the hospital.Tong Zhe jumped out of the car and ran to Xia Ranjiang's ward with a bag of fried chestnuts in sugar.
"How's it going?"
Tong Zhe carefully opened the door, just in time to see He Xiaoyu sitting by the window fighting the landlord.
"The nurse hung up a bottle of nutrient solution for him just now." He Xiaoyu said, adjusting his glasses and taking a look at the bottle. "It's almost over."
"Either you go back first. I'm here."
Tong Zhe moved a chair and sat beside Xia Ranjiang's bed, carefully observing Xia Ranjiang's closed eyes.
"Then... I'll go back first. Xia Ranjiang should be fine, so don't worry too much." He Xiaoyu stood up slowly and thumped his back.
"That... thank you."
He Xiaoyu yawned and was going out when Tong Zhe whispered something.
"It's okay. We're all classmates."
He Xiaoyu paused for a moment, and he seemed to lose all sleepiness when he heard this thank you, and his facial features were deformed when he laughed.
After He Xiaoyu left, Tong Zhe folded his hands on the edge of the bed, resting his head on it, and could just see Xia Ranjiang's Adam's apple and chin with his side eye.Just as he stretched out his hand to touch Xia Ranjiang's Adam's apple, he remembered the bag of chestnuts he bought just now.The outstretched hand arced in the air and turned to the nightstand.
"You can eat when you wake up."
Tong Zhe shook the paper bag in front of Xia Ranjiang, and the chestnuts inside collided with each other, making a "rustling" sound.
Tong Zhe peeled off the chestnuts one by one, and the golden chestnut meat inside curled up with a trace of heat.Because of the cold weather, the chestnut coat stuck to the chestnut meat. Tong Zhe took it off bit by bit, not daring to use too much force for fear of damaging the chestnut meat——Xia Ranjiang didn't like that layer of fluff very much. , Tong Zhe helped him deal with it every time.
After a while, a golden mountain of chestnuts was piled up on the bedside table.
"Tong Zhe, Tong Zhe..."
Tong Zhe's eyelids were twitching, when he heard Xia Ranjiang's voice, he woke up suddenly.
"I'm here. Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm..."
"Tong Zhe..."
Tong Zhe grabbed Xia Ranjiang's hand, clasped his fingers tightly, and tried to warm Xia Ranjiang's cold hand.He touched Xia Ranjiang's forehead again, and the heat still persisted.
Tong Zhe was a little nervous, and couldn't help but hug Xia Ranjiang into his arms.At this time, the door opened, and Tong Zhe quickly put Xia Ranjiang down again, pretending to adjust Xia Ranjiang's sleeping position.
"Doctor, he still seems to have a fever, which is quite severe. Take a look."
"Are you the son of Head Nurse Liu?"
The nurse took down the hanging bottle from the iron stand, quickly disconnected the IV, and quickly pulled out the needle from the back of Xia Ranjiang's hand. The moment the needle was pulled out, Tong Zhe felt as if it was stuck in his heart again, and his heart trembled.
"It's okay, Sister Liu has already explained it. I have been given medicine and checked just now. I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."
The nurse tidied up the infusion tube, and pulled out the recording board from the bed, writing something on it.
"Hey, what's the relationship between you two?"
Hearing this sentence, Tong Zhe was taken aback.
"He? Classmate..."
"It's rare. In today's society, I really don't understand. Those who are related by blood are 'long-term sickbeds without filial sons'. This classmate who met by chance is very sincere. Last month, the old man next door with advanced prostate cancer, until the end The family came to see it three times in one breath. Every time I came, there was arguing. What was the arguing about? Competing for the inheritance. No, everyone was satisfied after the inheritance was divided. Poor, the old man left and no one was by his side. What are you talking about all your life?"
"Just looking at your child, I know that Sister Liu is a good teacher. She values love and righteousness." After the nurse finished speaking, she pushed the cart out the door. "You go back first, it's almost 12 o'clock. There will be a nurse on duty watching at night."
Tong Zhe didn't speak until the nurse closed the door, then grabbed Xia Ranjiang's dripping hand, breathed on it first, then unzipped his jacket, and pressed it tightly on his belly.As soon as the cold palm touched the skin, Tong Zhe couldn't help trembling, but still held it firmly.
The lights in the hallway outside were half off.The dim yellow light of the emergency lights shone obliquely into the house.Only Tong Zhe and Xia Ranjiang were left in the ward.
Tong Zhe sat on the edge of the bed like a sculpture, with his chin on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at Xia Ranjiang, listening to Xia Ranjiang's even breathing.
"Xia Ranjiang, I know, it's my fault. I understand the pain in your heart, and I shouldn't make you worry."
Tong Zhe muttered to himself, put his face against Xia Ranjiang's quilt, and rolled up the edge of the quilt tightly.
"The two of us will still encounter many obstacles in the future, but you know what? We are going to be together for the rest of our lives."
"You may have been confused about us. If the confusion makes you painful, I hope you can forget it all when you wake up and live this life happily. But I am not confused, because I clearly believe that I'm not that good, but I'm going to make you better."
Leaning against Xia Ranjiang's pillow, Tong Zhe fell into a deep sleep.That night, Tong Zhe seemed to sleep very peacefully.
The next day, the morning sun fell on Xia Ranjiang's forehead.Xia Ranjiang opened his eyes, turned around and saw Tong Zhe snoring with his mouth pouting beside him.
Xia Ranjiang just thought it was funny, but seeing Tong Zhe sleeping on his side, and thinking about what happened last night, he couldn't help feeling his nose sore.
"You're awake."
Xia Ranjiang just wanted to throw off the quilt and get out of bed, Tong Zhe seemed to have heard a horn, raised his head suddenly, stared at Tong Zhe with half-closed eyes, and suddenly sneezed heavily again.
"How do you feel now?"
"Much better. You were here last night?"
"Yeah." Tong Zhe's eyes were a little swollen, and his mind felt chaotic. "Look, hurry up and eat, I peeled all night last night."
"Don't tell me I'm really hungry."
"He Xiaoyu said you didn't eat anything yesterday. The doctor said you were malnourished."
Hearing the word "malnutrition", Xia Ranjiang remembered what he did in the dormitory yesterday, and couldn't help feeling his cheeks burning.
"He Xiaoyu is here too?"
"Yes, I sent you here with me yesterday. Not to mention, this kid is quite honest."
"Then you are always cold-eyed at him."
"I..." Tong Zhe frowned and didn't know what to say for a while, so he quickly changed the subject. "Why don't we go out to eat, and I'll bring you back the chestnuts."
After completing the discharge procedures, Tong Zhe sent Xia Ranjiang back to school.
As soon as Xia Ranjiang entered the dormitory, He Xiaoyu poked his head out of the bed.
"Thank you last night." Xia Ranjiang patted the metal partition next to He Xiaoyu's bed.
"You didn't scare us to death last night." He Xiaoyu took off his headphones. "You are enjoying the blessing, two people serve you and one. Hey, are you all right now?"
"A little scrape on the forehead. A little bruise on the back."
As Xia Ranjiang spoke, the back of his hand accidentally touched the wound on his forehead, and he grinned in pain.
"Hey, what happened last night? Did you offend anyone? If you don't want to say it, forget it."
"No, I haven't been in Nanjing for a few months, and I don't know many people."
"Then do you remember what those people looked like last night?"
"There was too much fog, so I only remember four people. One was taller, and he was wearing a black leather jacket. The other was thinner, and he was a little shorter. The others didn't have much impression."
"With such a little information, even criminal investigation portraits are not enough." He Xiaoyu jumped out of bed under a blanket. "The school security department has already called the police. The place is too remote, and the only camera has been broken for several years. You will probably lose your teeth and swallow your blood. You will be dumb."
"But then again, what are you doing there when you have nothing to do?"
As if talking to himself, He Xiaoyu took out a box of seaweed from the drawer and opened it, took out a small package and handed it to Xia Ranjiang.
"...just wandering around..."
"Oh, the more I think about it, the more strange it becomes. Could it be that someone fell in love with you, was rejected by you, and then turned from love to hate?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
Xia Ranjiang suddenly remembered something, and was about to tell He Xiaoyu, but then he thought that it would not be good for too many people to know about it, so he swallowed the words again.
"Tong Zhe said he will deal with it."
"Okay..." He Xiaoyu sat down on the chair, leaning against the back of the chair with his hands drooping. "From now on, you have this warm senior, just abandon me completely, ha ha."
"What is warm..."
Xia Ranjiang smiled lightly, feeling a little guilty, and turned his back to He Xiaoyu.
"Stop pretending." He Xiaoyu patted Xia Ranjiang on the shoulder. "You didn't see it last night. Knowing that something happened to you, Tong Zhe was crazy."
"Naturally, if I have something to do, no one will teach him English."
"Haha, you don't even believe this reason yourself, you stupid duck."
He Xiaoyu leaned over with malicious intentions and stared at Xia Ranjiang's flushed embarrassment.
"I'd better tell you, lest someone who does a good thing seem to have done it for nothing."
Immediately afterwards, He Xiaoyu told Xia Ranjiang everything he saw last night.
"I think it's good to have someone who loves you so much." He Xiaoyu leaned on the ladder. "And Tong Zhe, although he has a weird personality, it can be seen that he doesn't simply regard you as a brother, he likes you. What do you think?"
"You think he's pretty good too?"
"Yes. But he's just being nice to you, because he likes you. But do you like him?"
"Ah, hi...no...damn, you're digging a hole for me to jump in, right?"
"Yo yo, why are you ashamed. You just tell the truth, don't suppress your nature so much. You can know if you like it or not. In the final analysis, it's none of my business. At most, it's about engaging in club activities in the future to let him Dorala relationship."
☆、Chapter 19
He Xiaoyu didn't continue to ask, even though he felt that it was not that simple.But since Xia Ranjiang didn't want to reveal more, He Xiaoyu still got up early with Xia Ranjiang and went to the playground to recite vocabulary as usual, and went to the library with Xia Ranjiang to read books when there was no class.It's just that since this happened, there have been more opportunities to see Tong Zhe.Sometimes when I was eating in the cafeteria, when I turned my head, I saw Tong Zhe staring not far away.Sometimes when I was in a professional class, I accidentally bumped into the swaying figure of Tong Zhe outside the window.Sometimes when walking on the road with Xia Ranjiang, Tong Zhe stopped in front of him with a "squeak" on his bicycle, and took Xia Ranjiang away before He Xiaoyu could react.
The wound on Xia Ranjiang's hairline healed slowly and was gradually covered by hair.But this wound kept appearing in Tong Zhe's heart, with blood gushing out without any sign of healing.Xia Ranjiang just felt that Tong Zhe only cared about him more frequently after this incident happened, and he didn't see anything unusual about Tong Zhe at all.But in Tong Zhe's consciousness, Xia Ranjiang was attacked this time because he didn't take good care of him, which was a naked violation of his dignity.Physical revenge is no longer enough to heal the wound, what Tong Zhe wants is complete destruction.
This morning, He Xiaoyu ran back to the dormitory out of breath and sat down on the chair.
"Hey, I'm exhausted. Let me tell you something. The security office found a mobile phone at that bus stop. Do you want to take a look, maybe you will remember something."
Xia Ranjiang instantly became alert.
"I think it must have been dropped by those hooligans. It was dropped in a very secret place. It happened that the phone was being repaired over the past two days. We have to find a way to see what is important in the phone. clue."
Xia Ranjiang hurriedly called Tong Zhe.Within half an hour, Tong Zhe appeared in Xia Ranjiang's dormitory.
"There is a password."
After charging the phone for a few minutes, Tong Zhe quickly unplugged it and turned it on.
"What should I do?" He Xiaoyu asked.
"This little thing can't trouble me. I took the phone away. You wait for the good news."
Tong Zhe held the phone tightly, unzipped the zipper of his backpack and threw the phone in as he walked out.
"Oh, someone gave me two packs of Godiva chocolates when I first came up, one for each of you, take it!"
As Tong Zhe said, he turned around and threw a rose-gold square box at Xia Ranjiang and He Xiaoyu respectively.
"That's right, two three-pointers." Tong Zhe clapped his hands and walked out the door quite proudly.
He Xiaoyu was a little dazed, but soon came back to his senses, leaned over to Xia Ranjiang, and grinned wickedly.
"I understand." Xia Ranjiang took out the chocolate from his bosom and lightly smashed it on He Xiaoyu's forehead. "Here you are."
"Fuck, I love you so much." He Xiaoyu almost snatched it, and buried the two boxes of chocolates deeply in his belly. "Thank you."
"You should thank Tongzhe." Xia Ranjiang said. "He never eats chocolate, though. Says it's an allergy."
"Anyone allergic to chocolate? And it's such a delicious brand, it's a pity not to eat it."
He Xiaoyu couldn't wait to tear open a box violently, picked up a piece from the inside with his index finger and thumb and threw it into his mouth.The chocolate slowly melted on the tip of the tongue, and He Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes.
"It seems that you know his living habits quite well."
"Hey, I'm a little worried."
"What are you worried about?" He Xiaoyu said, and threw another piece into his mouth.
"He's not like this usually. It's always an indescribable feeling."
"Isn't it all like this? It's normal to be nice to you, and I'm also lucky by the way."
"That's not what I said. I just thought he was hiding something from me."
"Is there a dog outside? Isn't your little milk dog enough?"
"Fuck." Xia Ranjiang pulled out a few books from the bookshelf. "Forget it, I'll go to the library to return the book."
After Tong Zhe got the phone, he immediately called Gu Chuchu and went straight to the communication laboratory.
Through the door glass, Tong Zhe looked inside.Gu Chuchu was wearing protective goggles, happened to catch a glimpse of Tong Zhe, and put down the tools in her hand.The large white robe looked very bloated, and Gu Chuchu floated out like a giant cotton candy.
"Yo, I won't see you for a few days, see you for dinner."
Tong Zhe entered the door and pulled Gu Chuchu aside.
"I'm overworked and fat. I've had too many things recently, so I need to cover you up." Gu Chuchu took off her glasses and stroked the ends of her hair. "Tell me, what do you want from your elder sister Gu?"
Tong Zhe put the schoolbag on the laboratory table and took out a mobile phone from it.
"Huh..." Gu Chuchu frowned. "Which dump did you pick it up from? It's so dirty."
"It's still dirty, how many times have I wiped it." Tong Zhe looked around, took out two tissues from the box in the corner of the laboratory table, wrapped the phone and handed it over.
"What are you doing?"
Gu Chuchu still looked disgusted, took the phone and put it on the experimental table.
"Only you can help me with this matter." Tong Zhe approached mysteriously. "Help me recover the data in it."
"Ok?"
"Actually, it's not that complicated. I just need to know the power-on password."
Looking at Gu Chuchu's suspicious eyes, Tong Zhe felt a little guilty.
"It doesn't sound very legal."
"Oh, don't you know me, Uncle Tong? You can rest assured that nothing will happen. I know this is nothing to you." Tong Zhe smiled all over his face.
"Okay, okay." Gu Chuchu glanced at the phone on the table again. "Are you sure you just need to turn it on? I don't care about the apps inside."
"Uh-huh."
"Then I'll give it to you tonight. There's still a lot of shit going on here this afternoon."
Xia Ranjiang was still a little worried.As soon as he pushed his bicycle out of the dormitory, he bumped into Yu Qing head-on.
"Hi, Xia Ranjiang. Where are you going?" Yu Qing was walking this way with her textbook in her arms.
Xia Ranjiang felt his blood rushing up, he gritted his teeth, clenched his hands into fists, and was speechless for a moment.In an instant, what happened that night came to mind again.Suddenly the screen changed, and Xia Ranjiang's brain froze. The unbearable memories of his childhood had already been sealed under the isolation layer of reinforced concrete, but at this moment, it was like encountering a nuclear bomb. After adulthood, the seemingly innocent, but actually ugly and terrifying painted skin.
"Going to the library?"
Yu Qing continued to ask.Seeing Xia Ranjiang passing by with his head bowed, Yu Qing trotted a few steps to catch up.
"Student Yu Qing." Xia Ranjiang stopped, but didn't look back. "If I did something wrong, I apologize to you. If we meet again in the future, we don't need to say hello, just pretend we don't know each other."
"Hey, Xia Ranjiang..."
Yu Qing was a little stunned, looking at Xia Ranjiang's back riding away on a bicycle, standing blankly in the cold wind.
It was just after dark when the call Tong Zhe had been waiting for finally came.
"nailed it?"
Tong Zhe threw down his bicycle impatiently and ran straight to the classroom.
"I removed the password. See for yourself."
Gu Chuchu casually took out the phone and put it on the table.
Tong Zhe picked up the phone suspiciously and entered the call log.Scroll down for a long time, most of them are unfamiliar numbers, and then there are a few names.
Tong Zhe has always believed in his heart that he can find clues from inside, but he still can't find it after searching for a long time.
"I wanted to find it from the APP just now, but I couldn't get in. The owner of the phone should have destroyed and transferred the communication records."
Seeing Tong Zhe's disappointed expression, Gu Chuchu couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
"There must be something in the phone that we haven't noticed." Tong Zhe still didn't give up, and went back to the call log, looking for each name one by one.
"Thank you, I'll treat you to dinner later."
Tong Zhe suddenly remembered something, picked up the phone and ran out.
This time, Tong Zhe called He Xiaoyu out.
"Brother Tong, what can I do for you?"
He Xiaoyu saw Tong Zhe waving at him from a distance, and found that Tong Zhe would no longer be cold-hearted to him like before, so he hurriedly moved closer to him.
"I need your help."
"Brother Tong, if you say a word, I will be there whenever you are called."
"I always think it's not that simple." Tong Zhe pulled He Xiaoyu under the shade of a tree. "Remember, don't tell Xia Ranjiang about this."
"Did you find the suspect?"
"Xia Ranjiang told me it was Yu Qing."
"Ah? That woman?" He Xiaoyu was a little surprised for a moment, but he didn't seem surprised.
"you recognize?"
"It's not that I know each other, it's that Xia Ranjiang knew that woman. Hey... just remembered that woman is in the same department as you."
"Go on."
"They met during military training. That woman seems to have always been interested in Xia Ranjiang. From time to time, she blocked him on the way to and from class and pretended to meet him by chance. Sometimes she would give him food, but I ate it all. But Xia Ranjiang Ran Jiang doesn't seem to be interested in women... Oh, no, he has no interest in that woman, and the longest conversation doesn't exceed three sentences. Didn't Xia Ranjiang go to Hainan that day? Downstairs in the dormitory gave him a watch, which looked quite expensive, but Xia Ranjiang returned it... That bitch is too insidious, isn't it possible to seek revenge if courtship is not enough? It really is a watch."
"I don't think it should be her." Tong Zhe interrupted He Xiaoyu.
"Who would that be?"
"Look, is there any doubt, familiar person, familiar number." Tong Zhe took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
Tong Zhe turned back page by page, and He Xiaoyu opened his eyes wide to identify carefully.
"stop!"
Suddenly, a name jumped into their eyes.
"who is it?"
"Li Li."
He Xiaoyu couldn't help but let out a "fuck".
"Your classmate?" Tong Zhe's expression darkened immediately.
"Still roommates."
"The one with the usual dead face?"
"Yeah." He Xiaoyu felt that the matter was a little serious.
Tong Zhe didn't speak, and directly dialed Li Li's mobile phone number, pressed the speakerphone, and at the same time gave He Xiaoyu a look to tell him to keep silent.
He Xiaoyu felt his heart beating in his throat, and he couldn't even speak.
"Hello? Brother Zhao?" He Xiaoyu's familiar voice was indeed on the other end of the phone. "Where have you been these few days? Why haven't you answered the phone? Thank you this time."
Hearing this, Tong Zhe cut off the call.
He Xiaoyu stared at Tong Zhe in horror.Tong Zhe's eyes, which were wide open just now, are now drooping with bloodshot eyes, the corners of his mouth are slightly dimpled, and his face is murderous.
"Brother Tong..."
He Xiaoyu originally wanted to persuade Tong Zhe to be more rational. After all, it is his own future that will be rewarded by retaliation.But when the words came to his lips, the evil thoughts hidden in He Xiaoyu's heart forcibly controlled his brain.
"This kid is quite capable. This trick of borrowing a knife to kill people is beautiful." Tong Zhe sneered.
"In our department, there is only one opportunity to study abroad with a full scholarship. I think he feels hopeless, and since Xia Ranjiang won the award, he now has an absolute advantage. It may be because of this that Li Li resorted to all means, and the two of them are going to participate in the competition soon." To upgrade the exam, one less competitor means more hope. And they don’t like to stay in the dormitory, leaving early and returning late.”
"You're right, one less competitor means more hope." Tong Zhe let out a long breath. "Okay, I see."
Tong Zhe turned around, got on his bicycle and left, leaving only He Xiaoyu standing there foolishly.He Xiaoyu suddenly felt a little worried, fearing that if something happened to Li Li, he would end up being responsible.But it's too late to regret it, the only blame is that I just kept adding oil and vinegar just now, regardless of the consequences.
As time passed day by day, everything seemed to be like the slowly healing scar on Xia Ranjiang's forehead, which was restored to its original state through constant metabolism.He Xiaoyu's tense nerves gradually relaxed, but every time he saw Li Li's expression remained the same after returning to the dormitory, he would secretly marvel at Li Li's "acting skills", which deceived everyone.But Xia Ranjiang still seemed to be kept in the dark, always thinking that Yu Qing was the culprit, and since then completely cut off contact with Yu Qing.
And after this distress, Tong Zhe even guarded Xia Ranjiang [-]/[-], for fear that another accident would happen to Xia Ranjiang.What's more, now that He Xiaoyu's eyeliner is added, Xia Ranjiang can't escape Tong Zhe's vision.To Tong Zhe's relief, Xia Ranjiang's psychology has not been greatly affected, but he is more active than before. He takes the initiative to call and chat with Tong Zhe from time to time, which was basically unimaginable in the past. For Tong Zhe, Xia Ranjiang Ran Jiang is thankful for being able to answer the phone occasionally, let alone take the initiative to call him.Seeing Xia Ranjiang's current state, Tong Zhe's inner "destruction plan" seemed to have lost momentum, and gradually sank into the bottom of his heart, buried in those dead memories.
"Yeeeeeeeeeeee..."
In the early morning, a rapid ambulance siren tore through the tranquility of the entire teaching area.This class was Tong Sirui's class, and the noise caused commotion among more than 20 students in the classroom.
"Hey, why is there the sound of an ambulance..."
"It seems that I went to the second teaching in front, what happened?"
"Let me ask, my boyfriend has classes there."
Tong Sirui did not stop the whispering and whispering in class.The bayonet-like siren seemed to be getting closer, and Tong Sirui vaguely felt that the situation was not good.The last time I heard this kind of sound was when I was in college a few years ago. At that time, my classmates couldn't think of jumping into the lake to commit suicide. It was the next morning when they were caught.In the same season, with the same sound, Tong Sirui felt his heart was in a panic, and couldn't help looking out the window, but a few buildings away, he could only hear the sound of police sirens mixed with screams, but he couldn't see anyone.
"Someone jumped off the building over there!"
suddenly teach
"I don't know..." Xia Ranjiang hesitated to speak, his eyes were a little dull.
"Have you met an enemy? It's not right. You have always left early and returned late, so you have no chance to make enemies with anyone." He Xiaoyu handed over a thermos.
Xia Ranjiang seemed numb.Pain can only be felt when the doctor disinfects the wound on the face.He Xiaoyu asked for a long time without finding out why, but suddenly thought of something, slipped out while Xia Ranjiang was not paying attention, and dialed Tong Zhe's cell phone.
At this time, Tong Zhe was spinning his pen with his chin resting in boredom.There was a stack of manuscript paper on the desk, with something densely written on it.
At this time, a light flashed in his sight, and an unfamiliar number appeared on the phone screen.
Tong Zhe suddenly felt upset, and pressed "Reject" heavily.
However, the same number lit up on the screen again.
"Why isn't this sales call dead?" Tong Zhe pressed the call again.
Less than a minute later, that number came up for the third time.
Tong Zhe just wanted to turn off the phone, but then he thought about it again, he had never been so persistent in a sales call, hesitated for a few seconds, and pressed "hands-free".
"Hello, Tong Zhe?"
"Who are you?"
Tong Zhe stood up, stretched, and yawned long.
"I'm He Xiaoyu, Xia Ranjiang's roommate. Xia Ranjiang was beaten, come here quickly."
"What? Xia Ranjiang was beaten? Where is he now? I'll go right away."
Tong Zhe's half-closed eyes suddenly widened with anger, his forehead was congested with blood, the pen in his hand was thrown on the desk, and the tip of the pen drew an arc on the manuscript paper.
Tong Zhe couldn't wait for He Xiaoyu to explain the specific situation, so he picked up the coat beside the bed, threw the scarf around his neck, put on his sneakers and ran out.
Tong Zhe felt like tens of thousands of ants were gnawing at his heart, and a piercing pain occupied his whole body.Along the way, Tong Zhe tried to call Xia Ranjiang, but no one answered, which made Tong Zhe feel more ominous.Tong Zhe banged his head heavily on the glass of the taxi.Remorse, self-blame, and worry, Tong Zhe hugged himself silently, as if he was hugging Xia Ranjiang.
"Xia Ranjiang, please don't worry, I only have you in this life."
Rushing to the school quickly, Tong Zhe frantically asked where Xia Ranjiang was.Seeing He Xiaoyu waving to him from a distance, he ran over quickly.
"Something is wrong. The doctor just transferred him to the hospital for further observation." He Xiaoyu followed Tong Zhe.
"What's wrong? Which hospital? What's going on? Why did you get beaten up so well? Who the hell beat him? I let him die!" Tong Zhe's roar echoed throughout the hall of the infirmary, and He Xiaoyu was a little dazed. .
"Calm down first, there is no serious injury, just take it to the hospital to be safe..."
"Calm down? How can you tell me to be calm? Do you know that I am suffering to death? Do you know?" Tong Zhe almost lost his mind, his eyes were red.
"Let's go to the hospital."
"Which hospital?"
"Jianning Hospital."
Hearing the name of the hospital, Tong Zhe calmed down a little and took out his phone.
"Mom, Xia Ranjiang had an accident and is now in your hospital."
"Just sent it over? Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Son, don't worry, go home first. I'll take care of it at the hospital."
Tong Zhe hung up the phone and seemed to be much more stable.
At this time, a taxi stopped in front of the medical building.
"I called a car, let's go to the hospital first."
Along the way, Tong Zhe sat in the back row, tilting his head and looking out the window, eerily quiet.He Xiaoyu sat on the co-pilot with his seat belt buckled tightly, and from time to time squinted upwards to see Tong Zhe in the rearview mirror—in He Xiaoyu's impression, the words arrogant, unruly, and domineering seemed tailor-made for Tong Zhe.But now, Tong Zhe in the rearview mirror curled up against the car window, like a stray cat abandoned in the wind and snow, its fur was soaked and trembling all over.
As soon as the taxi stopped, Tong Zhe almost jumped out and ran into the hospital. As soon as He Xiaoyu came back to his senses, Tong Zhe had long since disappeared.
When He Xiaoyu asked about the ward, he went in and found that Tong Zhe was already sitting beside Xia Ranjiang's bed.Xia Ranjiang's head was wrapped in gauze, his forehead was a little swollen, and his face was pale.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, Tong Zhe looked back, then turned sideways and wiped his eyes.
"After the doctor's examination, he was malnourished, and his body was a little weak. He also had a slight concussion, skin trauma, and probably was frightened. There will be no serious problems."
He Xiaoyu came over, looked carefully at Xia Ranjiang, and saw Tong Zhe's moist eyes.
"Hmm." Tong Zhe sighed slightly. "Thanks."
"Ah...thank me for what you are doing. They are all classmates..."
He Xiaoyu was a little surprised, originally thought that Tong Zhe would question him, and was thinking about how to respond.
"Come here." Tong Zhe pointed to the corridor outside the ward, and He Xiaoyu followed out knowingly.
"What exactly is going on?"
"I wonder too. Usually Xia Ranjiang is pretty normal... Oh, by the way, he's been a little abnormal these two days, and he doesn't want to talk, so he just fell asleep like this. I guess he hasn't eaten all day today. , I went back at night and saw that the food on his table hadn’t been touched.”
"Only these two days?"
"Yeah, I don't know the situation. Although it's normal to have good or bad emotions, I really don't understand how he offended people. Xia Ranjiang has never liked to be in contact with too many people, and most of the time he is It's too weird to be beaten today while reading and studying for no reason."
"car……"
There was a faint cry from the ward, and Tong Zhe hurried back.
"cell phone……"
"Xia Ranjiang, I'm here, what do you want?" Tong Zhe grabbed Xia Ranjiang's outstretched hand and held it tightly to his chest.
"cell phone……"
"Did he lose his phone?"
He Xiaoyu looked around and found Xia Ranjiang's coat and trousers. After digging for a long time, he found nothing but his campus card and dozens of dollars in change.
"No wonder I haven't answered the call." Tong Zhe thought to himself.
"Hey, how did this happen?"
He Xiaoyu fumbled and took out a hanging chain from the inner pocket of his jacket.
"Xia Ranjiang, where did you lose your phone?" He Xiaoyu asked.
"Route 21..."
"21... Road?" He Xiaoyu thought he heard it wrong, and leaned down to Xia Ranjiang's ear.
Hearing Xia Ranjiang's dreamlike self-talk, Tong Zhe was puzzled at first, then his heart skipped a beat, and he understood everything.
"I know where I lost it. You wait, I will look for it, and I must find it."
Along the way, Tong Zhe always felt as if a big rock had grown out of his chest, making him unable to breathe. No. 21 is the nearest bus line to Tong Zhe's house.Thinking that Xia Ranjiang might come to him by car in the middle of the night because he was worried that he might be worried, Tong Zhe sighed a long time, and actually felt a little guilty in his heart.
At the No. 21 bus stop, Tong Zhe turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and looked around.Finally, I saw a withered yellow grass field beside the river that had been trampled into a mess, and the soil at the bottom had been turned up.The mobile phone got closer, and a silver reflected light attracted Tong Zhe's attention.Take a closer look, isn't that Xia Ranjiang's cell phone?
Tong Zhe strode forward, pushed aside the intertwined dead branches above, and picked up the phone.
"It's okay, the phone is not broken."
Tong Zhe wiped the screen of the phone with his cuff, and looked carefully up and down.Maybe it was dropped in the mud, but the phone was not scratched.
Tong Zhe stuffed his mobile phone into the inner pocket of his coat, and was about to turn around and go back when he stepped on something again.Tong Zhe didn't care, what he wanted at the moment was to return to Xia Ranjiang as soon as possible.
On the way back, Tong Zhe took out Xia Ranjiang's cell phone again.For some reason, Tong Zhe began to feel nervous.
"What's in the phone? Maybe there's some secret."
The mobile phone was tossed and turned in Tong Zhe's hands, turning on the screen for a while, and turning it off again for a while.
"No, no, no, you can't peek at his phone. What would I do if that happened."
Tong Zhe struggled for a while, and his knuckles accidentally touched the screen."Please enter your password" is displayed on the screen.
"I'll just try it without looking at the contents."
Tong Zhe thought for a while and entered Xia Ranjiang's birthday.The phone vibrated, indicating an input error.
"The boy is quite thoughtful." Tong Zhe's mouth turned up, and his heart suddenly became more at ease.
"Could it be...my birthday?"
A thought popped into Tong Zhe's mind.Tong Zhe suddenly felt his heart beat faster again, and his heart and brain fell into a contradiction again - if the input is correct, it proves that he still has a high status in Xia Ranjiang's heart; if the input is wrong, it also shows that Xia Ranjiang is quite smart.
Whether it's true or not, it's worth a try.
Tong Zhe stared at the nine-square grid of numbers, as if he was facing a treasury. Just four simple numbers can get hundreds of millions of wealth.Tong Zhe held his breath, hesitated for a moment, nervously almost forgot his birthday.
But when he was about to enter the last number, a dialog box popped up on the screen indicating that the battery was low, and then it turned off automatically.
"Damn. What a broken phone." Tong Zhe didn't say anything, grabbed the phone and stuffed it back into his pocket.
The car stopped in front of the hospital.Tong Zhe jumped out of the car and ran to Xia Ranjiang's ward with a bag of fried chestnuts in sugar.
"How's it going?"
Tong Zhe carefully opened the door, just in time to see He Xiaoyu sitting by the window fighting the landlord.
"The nurse hung up a bottle of nutrient solution for him just now." He Xiaoyu said, adjusting his glasses and taking a look at the bottle. "It's almost over."
"Either you go back first. I'm here."
Tong Zhe moved a chair and sat beside Xia Ranjiang's bed, carefully observing Xia Ranjiang's closed eyes.
"Then... I'll go back first. Xia Ranjiang should be fine, so don't worry too much." He Xiaoyu stood up slowly and thumped his back.
"That... thank you."
He Xiaoyu yawned and was going out when Tong Zhe whispered something.
"It's okay. We're all classmates."
He Xiaoyu paused for a moment, and he seemed to lose all sleepiness when he heard this thank you, and his facial features were deformed when he laughed.
After He Xiaoyu left, Tong Zhe folded his hands on the edge of the bed, resting his head on it, and could just see Xia Ranjiang's Adam's apple and chin with his side eye.Just as he stretched out his hand to touch Xia Ranjiang's Adam's apple, he remembered the bag of chestnuts he bought just now.The outstretched hand arced in the air and turned to the nightstand.
"You can eat when you wake up."
Tong Zhe shook the paper bag in front of Xia Ranjiang, and the chestnuts inside collided with each other, making a "rustling" sound.
Tong Zhe peeled off the chestnuts one by one, and the golden chestnut meat inside curled up with a trace of heat.Because of the cold weather, the chestnut coat stuck to the chestnut meat. Tong Zhe took it off bit by bit, not daring to use too much force for fear of damaging the chestnut meat——Xia Ranjiang didn't like that layer of fluff very much. , Tong Zhe helped him deal with it every time.
After a while, a golden mountain of chestnuts was piled up on the bedside table.
"Tong Zhe, Tong Zhe..."
Tong Zhe's eyelids were twitching, when he heard Xia Ranjiang's voice, he woke up suddenly.
"I'm here. Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm..."
"Tong Zhe..."
Tong Zhe grabbed Xia Ranjiang's hand, clasped his fingers tightly, and tried to warm Xia Ranjiang's cold hand.He touched Xia Ranjiang's forehead again, and the heat still persisted.
Tong Zhe was a little nervous, and couldn't help but hug Xia Ranjiang into his arms.At this time, the door opened, and Tong Zhe quickly put Xia Ranjiang down again, pretending to adjust Xia Ranjiang's sleeping position.
"Doctor, he still seems to have a fever, which is quite severe. Take a look."
"Are you the son of Head Nurse Liu?"
The nurse took down the hanging bottle from the iron stand, quickly disconnected the IV, and quickly pulled out the needle from the back of Xia Ranjiang's hand. The moment the needle was pulled out, Tong Zhe felt as if it was stuck in his heart again, and his heart trembled.
"It's okay, Sister Liu has already explained it. I have been given medicine and checked just now. I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."
The nurse tidied up the infusion tube, and pulled out the recording board from the bed, writing something on it.
"Hey, what's the relationship between you two?"
Hearing this sentence, Tong Zhe was taken aback.
"He? Classmate..."
"It's rare. In today's society, I really don't understand. Those who are related by blood are 'long-term sickbeds without filial sons'. This classmate who met by chance is very sincere. Last month, the old man next door with advanced prostate cancer, until the end The family came to see it three times in one breath. Every time I came, there was arguing. What was the arguing about? Competing for the inheritance. No, everyone was satisfied after the inheritance was divided. Poor, the old man left and no one was by his side. What are you talking about all your life?"
"Just looking at your child, I know that Sister Liu is a good teacher. She values love and righteousness." After the nurse finished speaking, she pushed the cart out the door. "You go back first, it's almost 12 o'clock. There will be a nurse on duty watching at night."
Tong Zhe didn't speak until the nurse closed the door, then grabbed Xia Ranjiang's dripping hand, breathed on it first, then unzipped his jacket, and pressed it tightly on his belly.As soon as the cold palm touched the skin, Tong Zhe couldn't help trembling, but still held it firmly.
The lights in the hallway outside were half off.The dim yellow light of the emergency lights shone obliquely into the house.Only Tong Zhe and Xia Ranjiang were left in the ward.
Tong Zhe sat on the edge of the bed like a sculpture, with his chin on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at Xia Ranjiang, listening to Xia Ranjiang's even breathing.
"Xia Ranjiang, I know, it's my fault. I understand the pain in your heart, and I shouldn't make you worry."
Tong Zhe muttered to himself, put his face against Xia Ranjiang's quilt, and rolled up the edge of the quilt tightly.
"The two of us will still encounter many obstacles in the future, but you know what? We are going to be together for the rest of our lives."
"You may have been confused about us. If the confusion makes you painful, I hope you can forget it all when you wake up and live this life happily. But I am not confused, because I clearly believe that I'm not that good, but I'm going to make you better."
Leaning against Xia Ranjiang's pillow, Tong Zhe fell into a deep sleep.That night, Tong Zhe seemed to sleep very peacefully.
The next day, the morning sun fell on Xia Ranjiang's forehead.Xia Ranjiang opened his eyes, turned around and saw Tong Zhe snoring with his mouth pouting beside him.
Xia Ranjiang just thought it was funny, but seeing Tong Zhe sleeping on his side, and thinking about what happened last night, he couldn't help feeling his nose sore.
"You're awake."
Xia Ranjiang just wanted to throw off the quilt and get out of bed, Tong Zhe seemed to have heard a horn, raised his head suddenly, stared at Tong Zhe with half-closed eyes, and suddenly sneezed heavily again.
"How do you feel now?"
"Much better. You were here last night?"
"Yeah." Tong Zhe's eyes were a little swollen, and his mind felt chaotic. "Look, hurry up and eat, I peeled all night last night."
"Don't tell me I'm really hungry."
"He Xiaoyu said you didn't eat anything yesterday. The doctor said you were malnourished."
Hearing the word "malnutrition", Xia Ranjiang remembered what he did in the dormitory yesterday, and couldn't help feeling his cheeks burning.
"He Xiaoyu is here too?"
"Yes, I sent you here with me yesterday. Not to mention, this kid is quite honest."
"Then you are always cold-eyed at him."
"I..." Tong Zhe frowned and didn't know what to say for a while, so he quickly changed the subject. "Why don't we go out to eat, and I'll bring you back the chestnuts."
After completing the discharge procedures, Tong Zhe sent Xia Ranjiang back to school.
As soon as Xia Ranjiang entered the dormitory, He Xiaoyu poked his head out of the bed.
"Thank you last night." Xia Ranjiang patted the metal partition next to He Xiaoyu's bed.
"You didn't scare us to death last night." He Xiaoyu took off his headphones. "You are enjoying the blessing, two people serve you and one. Hey, are you all right now?"
"A little scrape on the forehead. A little bruise on the back."
As Xia Ranjiang spoke, the back of his hand accidentally touched the wound on his forehead, and he grinned in pain.
"Hey, what happened last night? Did you offend anyone? If you don't want to say it, forget it."
"No, I haven't been in Nanjing for a few months, and I don't know many people."
"Then do you remember what those people looked like last night?"
"There was too much fog, so I only remember four people. One was taller, and he was wearing a black leather jacket. The other was thinner, and he was a little shorter. The others didn't have much impression."
"With such a little information, even criminal investigation portraits are not enough." He Xiaoyu jumped out of bed under a blanket. "The school security department has already called the police. The place is too remote, and the only camera has been broken for several years. You will probably lose your teeth and swallow your blood. You will be dumb."
"But then again, what are you doing there when you have nothing to do?"
As if talking to himself, He Xiaoyu took out a box of seaweed from the drawer and opened it, took out a small package and handed it to Xia Ranjiang.
"...just wandering around..."
"Oh, the more I think about it, the more strange it becomes. Could it be that someone fell in love with you, was rejected by you, and then turned from love to hate?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
Xia Ranjiang suddenly remembered something, and was about to tell He Xiaoyu, but then he thought that it would not be good for too many people to know about it, so he swallowed the words again.
"Tong Zhe said he will deal with it."
"Okay..." He Xiaoyu sat down on the chair, leaning against the back of the chair with his hands drooping. "From now on, you have this warm senior, just abandon me completely, ha ha."
"What is warm..."
Xia Ranjiang smiled lightly, feeling a little guilty, and turned his back to He Xiaoyu.
"Stop pretending." He Xiaoyu patted Xia Ranjiang on the shoulder. "You didn't see it last night. Knowing that something happened to you, Tong Zhe was crazy."
"Naturally, if I have something to do, no one will teach him English."
"Haha, you don't even believe this reason yourself, you stupid duck."
He Xiaoyu leaned over with malicious intentions and stared at Xia Ranjiang's flushed embarrassment.
"I'd better tell you, lest someone who does a good thing seem to have done it for nothing."
Immediately afterwards, He Xiaoyu told Xia Ranjiang everything he saw last night.
"I think it's good to have someone who loves you so much." He Xiaoyu leaned on the ladder. "And Tong Zhe, although he has a weird personality, it can be seen that he doesn't simply regard you as a brother, he likes you. What do you think?"
"You think he's pretty good too?"
"Yes. But he's just being nice to you, because he likes you. But do you like him?"
"Ah, hi...no...damn, you're digging a hole for me to jump in, right?"
"Yo yo, why are you ashamed. You just tell the truth, don't suppress your nature so much. You can know if you like it or not. In the final analysis, it's none of my business. At most, it's about engaging in club activities in the future to let him Dorala relationship."
☆、Chapter 19
He Xiaoyu didn't continue to ask, even though he felt that it was not that simple.But since Xia Ranjiang didn't want to reveal more, He Xiaoyu still got up early with Xia Ranjiang and went to the playground to recite vocabulary as usual, and went to the library with Xia Ranjiang to read books when there was no class.It's just that since this happened, there have been more opportunities to see Tong Zhe.Sometimes when I was eating in the cafeteria, when I turned my head, I saw Tong Zhe staring not far away.Sometimes when I was in a professional class, I accidentally bumped into the swaying figure of Tong Zhe outside the window.Sometimes when walking on the road with Xia Ranjiang, Tong Zhe stopped in front of him with a "squeak" on his bicycle, and took Xia Ranjiang away before He Xiaoyu could react.
The wound on Xia Ranjiang's hairline healed slowly and was gradually covered by hair.But this wound kept appearing in Tong Zhe's heart, with blood gushing out without any sign of healing.Xia Ranjiang just felt that Tong Zhe only cared about him more frequently after this incident happened, and he didn't see anything unusual about Tong Zhe at all.But in Tong Zhe's consciousness, Xia Ranjiang was attacked this time because he didn't take good care of him, which was a naked violation of his dignity.Physical revenge is no longer enough to heal the wound, what Tong Zhe wants is complete destruction.
This morning, He Xiaoyu ran back to the dormitory out of breath and sat down on the chair.
"Hey, I'm exhausted. Let me tell you something. The security office found a mobile phone at that bus stop. Do you want to take a look, maybe you will remember something."
Xia Ranjiang instantly became alert.
"I think it must have been dropped by those hooligans. It was dropped in a very secret place. It happened that the phone was being repaired over the past two days. We have to find a way to see what is important in the phone. clue."
Xia Ranjiang hurriedly called Tong Zhe.Within half an hour, Tong Zhe appeared in Xia Ranjiang's dormitory.
"There is a password."
After charging the phone for a few minutes, Tong Zhe quickly unplugged it and turned it on.
"What should I do?" He Xiaoyu asked.
"This little thing can't trouble me. I took the phone away. You wait for the good news."
Tong Zhe held the phone tightly, unzipped the zipper of his backpack and threw the phone in as he walked out.
"Oh, someone gave me two packs of Godiva chocolates when I first came up, one for each of you, take it!"
As Tong Zhe said, he turned around and threw a rose-gold square box at Xia Ranjiang and He Xiaoyu respectively.
"That's right, two three-pointers." Tong Zhe clapped his hands and walked out the door quite proudly.
He Xiaoyu was a little dazed, but soon came back to his senses, leaned over to Xia Ranjiang, and grinned wickedly.
"I understand." Xia Ranjiang took out the chocolate from his bosom and lightly smashed it on He Xiaoyu's forehead. "Here you are."
"Fuck, I love you so much." He Xiaoyu almost snatched it, and buried the two boxes of chocolates deeply in his belly. "Thank you."
"You should thank Tongzhe." Xia Ranjiang said. "He never eats chocolate, though. Says it's an allergy."
"Anyone allergic to chocolate? And it's such a delicious brand, it's a pity not to eat it."
He Xiaoyu couldn't wait to tear open a box violently, picked up a piece from the inside with his index finger and thumb and threw it into his mouth.The chocolate slowly melted on the tip of the tongue, and He Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes.
"It seems that you know his living habits quite well."
"Hey, I'm a little worried."
"What are you worried about?" He Xiaoyu said, and threw another piece into his mouth.
"He's not like this usually. It's always an indescribable feeling."
"Isn't it all like this? It's normal to be nice to you, and I'm also lucky by the way."
"That's not what I said. I just thought he was hiding something from me."
"Is there a dog outside? Isn't your little milk dog enough?"
"Fuck." Xia Ranjiang pulled out a few books from the bookshelf. "Forget it, I'll go to the library to return the book."
After Tong Zhe got the phone, he immediately called Gu Chuchu and went straight to the communication laboratory.
Through the door glass, Tong Zhe looked inside.Gu Chuchu was wearing protective goggles, happened to catch a glimpse of Tong Zhe, and put down the tools in her hand.The large white robe looked very bloated, and Gu Chuchu floated out like a giant cotton candy.
"Yo, I won't see you for a few days, see you for dinner."
Tong Zhe entered the door and pulled Gu Chuchu aside.
"I'm overworked and fat. I've had too many things recently, so I need to cover you up." Gu Chuchu took off her glasses and stroked the ends of her hair. "Tell me, what do you want from your elder sister Gu?"
Tong Zhe put the schoolbag on the laboratory table and took out a mobile phone from it.
"Huh..." Gu Chuchu frowned. "Which dump did you pick it up from? It's so dirty."
"It's still dirty, how many times have I wiped it." Tong Zhe looked around, took out two tissues from the box in the corner of the laboratory table, wrapped the phone and handed it over.
"What are you doing?"
Gu Chuchu still looked disgusted, took the phone and put it on the experimental table.
"Only you can help me with this matter." Tong Zhe approached mysteriously. "Help me recover the data in it."
"Ok?"
"Actually, it's not that complicated. I just need to know the power-on password."
Looking at Gu Chuchu's suspicious eyes, Tong Zhe felt a little guilty.
"It doesn't sound very legal."
"Oh, don't you know me, Uncle Tong? You can rest assured that nothing will happen. I know this is nothing to you." Tong Zhe smiled all over his face.
"Okay, okay." Gu Chuchu glanced at the phone on the table again. "Are you sure you just need to turn it on? I don't care about the apps inside."
"Uh-huh."
"Then I'll give it to you tonight. There's still a lot of shit going on here this afternoon."
Xia Ranjiang was still a little worried.As soon as he pushed his bicycle out of the dormitory, he bumped into Yu Qing head-on.
"Hi, Xia Ranjiang. Where are you going?" Yu Qing was walking this way with her textbook in her arms.
Xia Ranjiang felt his blood rushing up, he gritted his teeth, clenched his hands into fists, and was speechless for a moment.In an instant, what happened that night came to mind again.Suddenly the screen changed, and Xia Ranjiang's brain froze. The unbearable memories of his childhood had already been sealed under the isolation layer of reinforced concrete, but at this moment, it was like encountering a nuclear bomb. After adulthood, the seemingly innocent, but actually ugly and terrifying painted skin.
"Going to the library?"
Yu Qing continued to ask.Seeing Xia Ranjiang passing by with his head bowed, Yu Qing trotted a few steps to catch up.
"Student Yu Qing." Xia Ranjiang stopped, but didn't look back. "If I did something wrong, I apologize to you. If we meet again in the future, we don't need to say hello, just pretend we don't know each other."
"Hey, Xia Ranjiang..."
Yu Qing was a little stunned, looking at Xia Ranjiang's back riding away on a bicycle, standing blankly in the cold wind.
It was just after dark when the call Tong Zhe had been waiting for finally came.
"nailed it?"
Tong Zhe threw down his bicycle impatiently and ran straight to the classroom.
"I removed the password. See for yourself."
Gu Chuchu casually took out the phone and put it on the table.
Tong Zhe picked up the phone suspiciously and entered the call log.Scroll down for a long time, most of them are unfamiliar numbers, and then there are a few names.
Tong Zhe has always believed in his heart that he can find clues from inside, but he still can't find it after searching for a long time.
"I wanted to find it from the APP just now, but I couldn't get in. The owner of the phone should have destroyed and transferred the communication records."
Seeing Tong Zhe's disappointed expression, Gu Chuchu couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
"There must be something in the phone that we haven't noticed." Tong Zhe still didn't give up, and went back to the call log, looking for each name one by one.
"Thank you, I'll treat you to dinner later."
Tong Zhe suddenly remembered something, picked up the phone and ran out.
This time, Tong Zhe called He Xiaoyu out.
"Brother Tong, what can I do for you?"
He Xiaoyu saw Tong Zhe waving at him from a distance, and found that Tong Zhe would no longer be cold-hearted to him like before, so he hurriedly moved closer to him.
"I need your help."
"Brother Tong, if you say a word, I will be there whenever you are called."
"I always think it's not that simple." Tong Zhe pulled He Xiaoyu under the shade of a tree. "Remember, don't tell Xia Ranjiang about this."
"Did you find the suspect?"
"Xia Ranjiang told me it was Yu Qing."
"Ah? That woman?" He Xiaoyu was a little surprised for a moment, but he didn't seem surprised.
"you recognize?"
"It's not that I know each other, it's that Xia Ranjiang knew that woman. Hey... just remembered that woman is in the same department as you."
"Go on."
"They met during military training. That woman seems to have always been interested in Xia Ranjiang. From time to time, she blocked him on the way to and from class and pretended to meet him by chance. Sometimes she would give him food, but I ate it all. But Xia Ranjiang Ran Jiang doesn't seem to be interested in women... Oh, no, he has no interest in that woman, and the longest conversation doesn't exceed three sentences. Didn't Xia Ranjiang go to Hainan that day? Downstairs in the dormitory gave him a watch, which looked quite expensive, but Xia Ranjiang returned it... That bitch is too insidious, isn't it possible to seek revenge if courtship is not enough? It really is a watch."
"I don't think it should be her." Tong Zhe interrupted He Xiaoyu.
"Who would that be?"
"Look, is there any doubt, familiar person, familiar number." Tong Zhe took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
Tong Zhe turned back page by page, and He Xiaoyu opened his eyes wide to identify carefully.
"stop!"
Suddenly, a name jumped into their eyes.
"who is it?"
"Li Li."
He Xiaoyu couldn't help but let out a "fuck".
"Your classmate?" Tong Zhe's expression darkened immediately.
"Still roommates."
"The one with the usual dead face?"
"Yeah." He Xiaoyu felt that the matter was a little serious.
Tong Zhe didn't speak, and directly dialed Li Li's mobile phone number, pressed the speakerphone, and at the same time gave He Xiaoyu a look to tell him to keep silent.
He Xiaoyu felt his heart beating in his throat, and he couldn't even speak.
"Hello? Brother Zhao?" He Xiaoyu's familiar voice was indeed on the other end of the phone. "Where have you been these few days? Why haven't you answered the phone? Thank you this time."
Hearing this, Tong Zhe cut off the call.
He Xiaoyu stared at Tong Zhe in horror.Tong Zhe's eyes, which were wide open just now, are now drooping with bloodshot eyes, the corners of his mouth are slightly dimpled, and his face is murderous.
"Brother Tong..."
He Xiaoyu originally wanted to persuade Tong Zhe to be more rational. After all, it is his own future that will be rewarded by retaliation.But when the words came to his lips, the evil thoughts hidden in He Xiaoyu's heart forcibly controlled his brain.
"This kid is quite capable. This trick of borrowing a knife to kill people is beautiful." Tong Zhe sneered.
"In our department, there is only one opportunity to study abroad with a full scholarship. I think he feels hopeless, and since Xia Ranjiang won the award, he now has an absolute advantage. It may be because of this that Li Li resorted to all means, and the two of them are going to participate in the competition soon." To upgrade the exam, one less competitor means more hope. And they don’t like to stay in the dormitory, leaving early and returning late.”
"You're right, one less competitor means more hope." Tong Zhe let out a long breath. "Okay, I see."
Tong Zhe turned around, got on his bicycle and left, leaving only He Xiaoyu standing there foolishly.He Xiaoyu suddenly felt a little worried, fearing that if something happened to Li Li, he would end up being responsible.But it's too late to regret it, the only blame is that I just kept adding oil and vinegar just now, regardless of the consequences.
As time passed day by day, everything seemed to be like the slowly healing scar on Xia Ranjiang's forehead, which was restored to its original state through constant metabolism.He Xiaoyu's tense nerves gradually relaxed, but every time he saw Li Li's expression remained the same after returning to the dormitory, he would secretly marvel at Li Li's "acting skills", which deceived everyone.But Xia Ranjiang still seemed to be kept in the dark, always thinking that Yu Qing was the culprit, and since then completely cut off contact with Yu Qing.
And after this distress, Tong Zhe even guarded Xia Ranjiang [-]/[-], for fear that another accident would happen to Xia Ranjiang.What's more, now that He Xiaoyu's eyeliner is added, Xia Ranjiang can't escape Tong Zhe's vision.To Tong Zhe's relief, Xia Ranjiang's psychology has not been greatly affected, but he is more active than before. He takes the initiative to call and chat with Tong Zhe from time to time, which was basically unimaginable in the past. For Tong Zhe, Xia Ranjiang Ran Jiang is thankful for being able to answer the phone occasionally, let alone take the initiative to call him.Seeing Xia Ranjiang's current state, Tong Zhe's inner "destruction plan" seemed to have lost momentum, and gradually sank into the bottom of his heart, buried in those dead memories.
"Yeeeeeeeeeeee..."
In the early morning, a rapid ambulance siren tore through the tranquility of the entire teaching area.This class was Tong Sirui's class, and the noise caused commotion among more than 20 students in the classroom.
"Hey, why is there the sound of an ambulance..."
"It seems that I went to the second teaching in front, what happened?"
"Let me ask, my boyfriend has classes there."
Tong Sirui did not stop the whispering and whispering in class.The bayonet-like siren seemed to be getting closer, and Tong Sirui vaguely felt that the situation was not good.The last time I heard this kind of sound was when I was in college a few years ago. At that time, my classmates couldn't think of jumping into the lake to commit suicide. It was the next morning when they were caught.In the same season, with the same sound, Tong Sirui felt his heart was in a panic, and couldn't help looking out the window, but a few buildings away, he could only hear the sound of police sirens mixed with screams, but he couldn't see anyone.
"Someone jumped off the building over there!"
