Back to Arada·Upper

I hesitated for a day, scratching my lungs, and finally couldn't stand it anymore. As soon as the bell rang for the end of the last class, I rushed to the first class quickly.But go in and take a look, and talk to people who haven't seen the knight at all.I asked a few of his classmates, and they all said they didn't know.

I walked around his seat a few times and found that his desk was clean and his schoolbag was gone.I was a little taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Qiao Yaying's seat—she wasn't there either.

I immediately ran to the piano room on the second floor, but the door of the piano room was locked and the lights were off, obviously no one was there.

I walked back to the classroom in a daze, and subconsciously tied the two of them together, thinking that they must have left school together, and now I don't know where and what to do. The word "dating" popped up in my head naturally, and I couldn't ignore it even if I wanted to. I was almost anxious to the point of restlessness.

I called him and he didn't answer, and I texted him and he didn't reply.This is clearly a deliberate act of "shielding" me out, what else can it be except dating!I made dozens of phone calls, sent dozens of text messages, contacted him from various social platforms, and even sent a private message to his Weibo account that he had never used.But he just ignored me, as if the world had evaporated.

After the first night of self-study, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I picked up my schoolbag and ran outside.Wu Jiakun grabbed my arm: "Why are you going?"

"I'm in a hurry!" I said as I shook him off.I heard him shouting from behind: "Remember to take the medicine! You can't stop the medicine, you can't miss a meal!"

I ran out of the school gate and felt confused: Where can I find him?

Apart from school and home, I have no idea where he could go.The same goes for me—the only two stops in my life are home and school.My head is in a mess, I don't have the ability to think, I can only act on instinct - I left school now, I don't know where to go, so I had to go home first.I ran and prayed that the knight was home.

This is of course impossible, the door is locked.I opened the door, but still not reconciled, I ran around in the dark room foolishly, shouting "Brother" many times in vain.

I was tired and shouted tired, I even forgot to take off my schoolbag, and sat directly on the sofa.I pressed the phone screen to confirm for the umpteenth time, but the lock screen interface is still a complete hornet's nest pattern, and there is not a single unread message reminder.

I just sat there, doing the mechanical movement of looking at my phone once a minute.It was eleven o'clock, but the knight hadn't come back yet.

I couldn't stay any longer, my brain tensed up. The word "dating" didn't matter anymore, and I started worrying about him, about his safety.

I started calling him again, calling tirelessly, but no one answered.I was so panicked that my hands were cold and I trembled unconsciously.I forced myself to calm down a bit, and to find a way, I must find him.I thought about it, thought of my dad, and thought that my dad must have a way.I quickly dialed his cell phone, but there was only a busy signal.

My only way out was also cut off, and I didn't know what else to do, but it was absolutely impossible for me to sit at home.So I ran out and ran to the gate of the community.I made up my mind - if I can't find him, I'll just wait for him.I chose a random place by the flower bed and sat on it.I love beauty, I didn't wear long johns, I only wore a pair of school uniform trousers, the moment my buttocks touched the flower bed, I was terrified.

It was very cold that night, and I couldn't feel the temperature after sitting down, as if I was a big rock, no different from the rockery in the garden.

I waited for him all night and watched the sky turn bright with my own eyes.

My thinking was also frozen, and I couldn't feel any impatience or fear, and my head was like a stone, heavy with no content.

Before the phone automatically shuts off, I checked the time, it was almost 08:30.I stood up, bent my legs, and when I took the first step, my legs softened and almost fell to the ground head-on.

I staggered and stood firm, my limbs regained some feeling, and my thinking became clearer.I thought: go to the school to see, if he is not there, call the police.

I was late for two days in a row, and the gate guard knew me, and opened the school gate without asking any questions.

I went straight to the back door of Group [-], and saw the back of the knight through the small window on the door.

I was already dull, and I didn't have any thoughts or emotional changes when I saw him, I just stood there and stared at him.

"Hey!" Suddenly someone shouted from behind, "The exam is about to start, why are you still standing here? Hurry back to the exam room!"

I was pushed back to the classroom by the grade director. I saw the test subjects and time written on the blackboard and remembered that today is the day of the monthly test.

I stared at the paper in a daze, didn't want to write a word, and completely forgot about the bottom ten goal of the test.After finally getting through the examination papers, I left my seat the moment the answer sheet was taken away.

When I walked into class one, the invigilator hadn't finished confiscating the papers, and told me to come in later.I ignored it and walked directly to the edge of the knight's seat.

He looked up at me, and I looked down at him.His eyes were bloodshot, and they were visibly blue.

I grabbed his wrist, pulled him up and walked out.I heard him "hiss", probably because he was dragged and hit somewhere by me.I made up my mind and didn't look back.

I dragged him around in the corridor, and dragged him to the small window at the end.I let go, and he leaned against the wall by the window.I stood in front of him and couldn't see his face clearly against the light.I had no choice but to widen my eyes, trying to see him clearly.However, I didn't see it clearly, but I tossed myself until my eyes became sore and tears flowed.

I wiped it casually on my face with the back of my hand, restraining my emotions: "Where did you go last night?"

"I am busy."

"what's up?"

"Private business."

I pursed my lips uncontrollably, and said in a very ugly voice, "I'm asking you what's the matter!"

"My own business."

I couldn't bear it anymore and rushed towards him, which made him grunt in pain.

I grabbed his collar, tiptoed against him, gritted my teeth and asked, "Can't I know about you?"

He looked down at me: "You don't care."

"You are my brother, why can't I care about it!"

He suddenly laughed, and slowly raised his eyelids: "You really think of yourself as my younger brother? We are not related by blood, what kind of brother and brother..."

Instantly I heard that high-pitched muffled sound, buzzing around my ears.I was completely dumbfounded. I unconsciously let go of his collar, and my feet lost all strength. I lay on him, relying on him alone for support.

"Brother..." I murmured, looking into his eyes in a panic, my words were broken because I was crying, "You didn't come home yesterday, I... I'm really worried... ...Brother...I was outside...waiting for you all night outside...it's very, very cold outside..." I shouted inarticulately, "What the hell did you do..."

He raised his head and stopped looking at me, and was silent for a while. He held my shoulders and made me stand upright alone, no longer like a dog skin plaster on his body.He bypassed me who was crying with snot and tears all over my face.

I was in such an unconscious and stunned state that I almost thought I was dreaming.I don't know how he suddenly became like this and said these words suddenly.The knight is such a gentle man, he has never treated me like this, he should not be like this.

I was so exhausted from crying that I couldn't even shed tears, I just kept twitching and couldn't stand still.

I swayed and turned around, looked at his back, and shouted impulsively, but the more I spoke, the lower my voice became, and the less imposing it was, the last few words almost became a soft pleading: "If you leave, I won't talk to you anymore..."

Seeing his footsteps stagnate, some childish hopes arose in my heart, and I wanted to please him in a low voice: "Brother... I was wrong, it's all my fault... I will never lose my temper with you again... ..."

He still stood there without looking back. After a long silence, he said softly, "I said I'm not your brother."

I was stunned for a moment, but I couldn't hold it anymore, so I squatted down suddenly.He looked up at him for a long time.I said hoarsely, "Do you hate me so much..."

He turned his head slightly, then quickly turned back, and left without giving me a response.
