broken sun

"Huang Mao from class 12, no wonder he gets close to Xu Li, he won't..."

"Then there's no need to think about it? God, our class is too miserable."

"A new transfer from your class?" Someone in Li 2 couldn't help asking someone.

"But Qi Nian's grades are so good..." You Hao stood aside and whispered without any momentum.

He usually secretly saw He Jiayan and Qi Nian talking occasionally, although he didn't know what they were talking about, but it seemed that Qi Nian didn't look that bad.

Shi Ze teased: "Isn't Xu Li better than you in grades? What's wrong with him? As the saying goes, people can't be judged by their appearance, and sea water can't be measured."

"Besides, they both look quite eerie." Someone interjected.

"All right, all right, keep playing, play!"

Shi Ze snatched the mineral water bottle from Gu Saming's hand: "Let's go."

Gu Saming was in a daze for a moment, his hand was pulled down due to inertia, and the next moment Wang Qingsong threw the ball at him and passed it.Gu Saming caught the flying ball in his hand and stood still.

Qi Nian looked over several times just now, although the distance is too far, it can only be confirmed that his pair of dark eyes are looking at this side, but Gu Saming feels that Qi Nian is looking at him for no reason.

Only when Qi Nian spoke to him would he be indifferent with a hostility that could not be ignored, and Qi Nian's persistent eyes were only available to him.

——But then Qi Nian followed Huang Mao away.

Gu Saming was angry.The withdrawn younger brother he thought was unwilling to go out, not only was he unwilling to go out as he thought, but he seemed taciturn after he came to school, and the one who didn't pay attention to anyone but took an unusual path first fought with Xu Li. It's hot, and right now it's hanging shoulder to shoulder with Huang Mao.

This younger brother of his seemed less unworldly than he thought.

However, Gu Saming couldn't tell where the impatience that gradually overwhelmed the momentum came from after standing with the ball for a long time.Huang Mao's loud shout, and the way Qi Nian looked over several times, are all lingering in front of his eyes.

"Gu Saming, pass the ball!"

The people next to him also began to build up their momentum and shouted excitedly.

Gu Saming finally moved his feet.He walked towards Shi Ze with the ball, stuffed the ball in his hands while everyone was puzzled, and said in a low voice, "You hit first, I'll go to the bathroom."

Shi Ze let out an "ah", saw his eyes, and replied in a cloudy voice: "...Oh!"

Gu Saming quickly walked out of the basketball court with a blank expression, passed the toilet in the teaching building, circled around, and walked to the back of the basketball court.

Behind the basketball court of Yuncheng No. [-] Middle School is a grove surrounded by the multimedia complex building and a rough garden.Because of its remote location, the classrooms on the first floor of the complex building are used as spare classrooms, and no one attends classes all year round.

Gu Saming walked faster at first, and then slowed down after walking less than ten meters away. He hesitated in his heart and retreated - what could happen to Qi Nian?

Although Huang Mao was "notorious" in school, after all, he just had poor grades, was not doing his job properly, and hadn't done anything extraordinary, and the rumors about him and Xu Li were true or false, otherwise they could be called rumors.

Qi Nian has only been in class for more than a week, and he hardly gets out of his seat all day long, so he has no chance to offend anyone.

Is he thinking too much?

When Gu Saming stood on the steps and looked through the empty woods, and the dense and messy winter jasmine branches blocked the garden behind, Gu Saming stopped in his backward steps.

——What if?

Xu Li had already climbed over the wall and went out, what needs Huang Mao to come to find Qi Nian alone?They hadn't even met alone.

With a straight face, Gu Saming sighed annoyedly, and ran over based on his subconscious worries.

Before he walked around the entire garden, he knew that not only was there no one he was looking for, but there was no way there would be anyone.

The scorching sun became particularly annoying at this time, scorching Gu Saming's whole body without mercy, making him anxious and uncomfortable.

A bean-sized bead of sweat flowed from his hair down his cheeks and chin into the collar of his school uniform, and his back was once again soaked in sweat.

But at this moment, he had no time to cool himself down. Gu Saming still looked at the last corner of the garden, even if he didn't stop all the way, the rationality in his mind that had always been absolutely dominant all the year round made a sound unwilling to be lonely.

Qi Nian has a close relationship with Xu Li, so he can naturally know Huang Mao, so it's not uncommon for him to follow him away.

Don't look for it, how could they be here.

The scene of Xu Li putting his hand on Qi Nian's face in the morning appeared before Gu Saming's eyes, and he couldn't calm down again.

Maybe it was the telepathy between the brothers, the more Gu Saming looked for it, the more he found it, the more he didn't believe it. He never believed in these things before, but this time he believed them.

Gu Saming stood at the fork in the road, trying to calm himself down, but he didn't care about anything else and shouted: "Qi Nian?"

In response to him, there are only the sound of encouragement and cheering, the sound of regular dribbling, the collision of bodies and the sound of footsteps from the basketball court separated by a wall.Make the empty and uninhabited surroundings more quiet.

Gu Saming wiped off the sweat that was about to flow into his eyes from his forehead, and walked to the empty classroom on the other side.

After pushing open the "creaking" front door of the last classroom, it was, without exception, empty.Gu Saming pursed the corners of his mouth, and stood there panting, his hand still on the doorknob, turning a blind eye to the dust flying wildly in front of his eyes.

He thought, if he finds Qi Nian properly later, he can really beat him up soberly as Shi Ze said.Or don't worry about his unlucky brother anymore. From now on, he should ride a bicycle and play basketball when he goes to school.

But no one has been found yet.

Gu Saming gritted his teeth and closed the door, and went down the stairs.Before he planned to leave, with the mentality of giving it a try, he finally pushed open the door of the most inconspicuous sporting goods utility room that was mostly covered by bushes.

"Qi Nian?" The moment he yelled out, he had already confirmed who the person on the ground was.

Qi Nian lay on his side motionless on the ground, with one hand folded beside his head, the other hand showing half of his arm beyond his short sleeve, his pale half facing the wall, his eyes half-opened.

Gu Saming couldn't even feel his breath, the deserted and fragile glass doll seemed to be broken by someone, and lost the last bit of life.The sound of his heart beating alone filled the small, musty and gray room.

All the thoughts before opening the door were forgotten, Gu Saming walked over slowly and squatted down, and lowered his voice: "Qi Nian."

His outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, afraid that he would really break Qi Nian, because he stopped for so long that he was a little unstable.

Gu Saming's fingertips finally touched the cotton material on his body, and just about to take another step closer to wake him up, Qi Nian's body began to tremble from his touch.Qi Nian turned his face away, the back of his neck was exposed, he buried himself face down in his arms, and let out a barely audible sob, which was covered by the intermittent chirping of cicadas outside.

Gu Saming's heart tightened, and he subconsciously moved his hand away. When he spoke, his tone seemed to be coaxing a three-year-old child: "Qi Nian, it's me, can you get up from the ground with me?"

On the back of Qi Nian's white school uniform, there were a few staggered dirty rib marks, and his elbows were covered with sand and dust. He was unwilling to face Gu Saming at this time, even if he still held onto Gu Saming just before Huang Mao left. fantasy.
