Boiling point

The summer wind was hot and dry, but He Xin felt cool. He drove his newly bought motorcycle around the entire Nanxi River, and with the wind whistling past his ears, the long-lost freedom seemed to be grasped again. In hand.

He got lost because he was flying too high.

He Xin looked around and saw a bus stop not far away. He drove over to explore the way, but saw Li Yanqi.

At first, he didn't recognize that person as Li Yanqi, because he was so different from his normal serious schoolmaster.

The street lights were very dark, he lowered his head, his neckline was stretched straight, his eyelashes drooped, casting a thin shadow on the bridge of his nose, like dark circles under his eyes that were suddenly magnified.

This scene reminded He Xin of Li Yanqi who he saw at the farm the day before yesterday.

Quiet but a little helpless.

It seemed like he was looking in the mirror, He Xin thought, maybe he would do the same when he was upset.

Biting the cigarette butt, breathing out for a few minutes, He Xin honked the horn, and Li Yanqi saw him, the two of them were like lions fighting wits and courage, and they began to mock each other as soon as they met.

But this time Li Yanqi was obviously out of shape, and he was unlucky enough.

He Xin stared at the notice on the bus stop sign and took advantage of the situation.

I thought that Li Yanqi would not fight, but unexpectedly he said, "Okay, you pay for it, the money for the ingredients and my labor fee will do."

He Xin is not short of money, but short of fun.

"How much do you want?"

Li Yanqi didn't think of the 5000 yuan that he couldn't get together until this moment. If he asked him to borrow it from him, it would really hurt his self-esteem, but it would be a despicable way to open his mouth on the pretext of cooking.

When he was in conflict, He Xin suddenly said, "Five thousand? Our nanny cooks for this price."

Li Yanqi: "..."

Seeing that he was speechless, He Xin raised the price a little more, "Eight thousand? If you don't say anything on the count to three, I'll drive away."

Li Yanqi stood up and looked at him, "Five thousand, I will do it for you for three months."

He Xin snapped his fingers, "deal." Then he narrowed his eyes and said, "not eight thousand but five thousand, what's wrong with you?"

Li Yanqi brushed his hair back from his forehead, put on a headband and said, "I only need 5000 yuan, and my craftsmanship is not worth [-] yuan."

He Xin snorted, patted the back seat and said, "I'll start working when I get back tonight."

Li Yanqi took the helmet, dusted the dust off the seat, and then stepped up, "What do you want to eat?"

He Xin turned her head and raised one corner of her mouth, "Can you make cakes?"

Li Yanqi couldn't understand the thought of a 190cm tall old man who was hungry and just wanted to eat cake, but he still nodded silently.

"Let's go." He Xin stepped on the accelerator, and the locomotive flew out like an arrow off the string.

Li Yanqi leaned forward uncontrollably, his chest collided with He Xin's back.

"Fuck me," he yelled.

He Xin ignored it, and drove fast at her own pace.

The wind was blowing in, and Li Yanqi felt that his ears were about to be deafened. After running through several cold streets, the dizziness gradually subsided. One point disappeared, as if the whole world had been left behind.

Li Yanqi closed his eyes and exhaled lightly.

When they went to school the next day, both of them were too sleepy to keep their eyes open. Last night, they went back to make white chocolate lemon mille-feuille and made a little more. He Xin didn’t think it was enough, so he took Li Yanqi and mixed another lemon. Jam, I didn't go to sleep until three o'clock.

In class in the morning, Li Yanqi fell asleep on his stomach after completing the test papers. Fortunately, when he was called up by the teacher, he did not make a fool of himself with his good memory.

Liao Mei has a dog's nose. After class, she followed the smell and found He Xin's seat. She pulled out a box of familiar lemon jam, glanced at He Xin and Li Yanqi, and vigorously accused the latter of differential treatment.

He Xin propped her chin and opened her eyes. During the break, a few brats chased and fought back and forth, squeezing the aisle until there was no gap left. The chattering and laughing of the girls filled the entire classroom. Looking around, it seemed that only he and Li Yanqi still struggled with the area around which was empty.

Suddenly remembering Teacher Wang's words, He Xin looked at the backs of the two of them and frowned slightly.

Today is Friday, school ends earlier than usual, and the last two classes are self-study. Most people are desperately rushing homework in exchange for two days of fun on the weekend. Li Yanqi buried himself in writing homework for one class, When he left before the second self-study class, He Xin took a look. The books in his desk were stacked neatly, and all the test papers were taken away. He shouldn't need to run errands this time.

The moment the get out of class bell rang, it was like a zombie fleeing for his life. The scene was extremely spectacular. He Xin was a student on duty today, so he had to stay and take out the trash before going back, but for him, it was the same whether he came back early or late.

Tough was in the same group as him, he was in charge of cleaning the blackboard and windows.

He Xin saw him stepping on the chair and wiping the top of the blackboard several times, and glanced at him from time to time, feeling very nervous.

"Hello." He Xin called him to stop, "Speak quickly if you have anything to say."

Struggle gave him a very "struggling" look, shook his head and said no.

He Xin took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, threw it vigorously at his feet, and looked down at him, "If you have nothing to say, don't fucking look at me."

Fatigue was taken aback, jumped up and down twice, then scratched his hair awkwardly and said, "I want to say sorry to you."

"I'm sorry dick." He Xin frowned, with a stinky expression on her face.

It was probably the first time that Fei Jin met a person who spoke so bluntly, who was neither a good student nor a bad student, and who was full of contradictions, and he froze in place for a while.

"Stupid," He Xin said, "Are you a holy father?"

Struggle to say, "What is the Holy Father?"

He Xin put her schoolbag on her back, and was silent for three seconds, "Holy Father is just like you."

With a hard smile, "Thank you."

"Fuck." He Xin said, "I know why you were beaten."

He bowed his head and tied his shoelaces with difficulty, and said softly, "My father is a murderer."

He Xin had heard this speech before, but he didn't say a word, and after walking a few steps, he heard Li Li said, "Thank you for helping me, you are a very good person just like Li Yanqi."

He Xin paused, then turned to look at him, "Li Yanqi also helped you?"

Fei Jin said, "We used to be neighbors, and he always took good care of me when I was young."

"What about now?" He Xin asked.

Sighing hard, he lowered his eyelids and remained silent for a while, "After that incident, my father and his father had an affair, he moved, and I moved, so we never met."

He Xin rubbed the soot on the ground with the tip of his shoe, remembered that the column of Li Yanqi's parents was also blank like him, thought for a while and asked, "Where are Li Yanqi's parents?"

Fei Jin said, "My aunt has passed away, and my uncle...... I didn't care much about him since I was a child. After my younger brother was born, he was even more homeless. He gambled and drank all day outside. After a while, he stopped and finally ran away."

"Run away?" He Xin was a little surprised.

Nodding vigorously, "Leave the two of them behind and run away. If you don't run away, you will be arrested."

He Xin stared at the cigarette in his hand and pondered for a while. Hearing the meaning of strenuous effort, Li Yanqi's father committed a crime with his father?A crime related to Jiang Zhiming's family?

Not allowing him to think about it, he had already packed his things and was about to close the door.

"I'm going back. Jiang Zhiming and the others didn't come to block me these days. I can go home early and help my mother open the store. My mother is very fierce."

He Xin hummed and followed out.

There are a lot of people at the gate of the school on Friday, and the supermarket next to it is full of cars. Although Twelfth Middle School is not a good high school, it is quite famous in Nanxi. It is said that it is the school that pays the most attention to the comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, physical education, art and labor. , so many parents are also willing to send their children to study here.

He Xin rode the locomotive swiftly past the crowd of cars that were stuck in traffic jams, setting off a cloud of dust.

For the whole weekend, he didn't do a single test paper. He just lay on the bed and played games to sleep. On Sunday night, he drove to the mall, packed some ingredients and came back for Li Yanqi to cook. He also bought some clothes for himself. Having nothing to do for a while, He Xin returned home the same way, lay down on the bed and saw that it was only 09:30.

I slept too much in the afternoon and didn't feel sleepy at night. I stared at the watch for a long time, and the hour hand just turned a little. I can't breathe anymore.

He Xin replied, "I'm so bored, and Wu Rui scolded me a dozen times with the voice on."

After talking all over the world, He Xin suddenly said, "I didn't expect that there are people in this world who are as tired as me."

"Are you tired from work? I think you are about to lay your eggs because of your idle time." Wu Rui said.

"Tired heart." He Xin sighed, "emptiness is also a kind of tiredness."

"What's wrong." Wu Rui said, "If you talk empty words, go to the goddess next door. Falling in love makes people progress."

He Xin said, "The goddess next door probably likes you like that."

Wu Rui immediately got excited, "Please send her my WeChat, distance is not a problem."

He Xin suppressed a smile, then clicked on Li Yanqi's profile picture, looked at it for a while and sent him a message, "When will you be back? I want to eat cheese risotto."

Li Yanqi replied after 10 minutes, "No time."

Because the other party confiscated the 8000 yuan, the on-demand service was forced to be cancelled. He Xin was lying on the bed, a little bit wanting to force the money in his pocket into Li Yanqi's pocket. It would be better to have a location tracking service. I want to eat When you drop a drop, the other party will have to airborne to your side.

In the end, He Xin went out for a run, with no goal or destination, and just followed the light all the way.

At the flag-raising ceremony on Monday, Li Yanqi, who had disappeared for two days, finally reappeared.

He Xin stood at the end of the line, with legs bent and lazily dazed.

After listening to the headmaster's spittle and passionate speech, he thought they could disband on the spot, but He Xin turned back impatiently, only to hear Li Yanqi's voice.

"Dear students..."

He Xin was pushed back into the team by Teacher Wang's arm.

He asked Liao Mei next to him, "Why isn't it over yet?"

Liao Mei said, "After the flag-raising ceremony every week, there will be criticism or commendation of the more important things that happened this week, and the student representatives will take turns presiding over them."

"Oh." He Xin clicked her tongue.

The sun was very hot, He Xin put one hand in the pocket of her school uniform, and casually glanced at the people on the stage.

Li Yanqi stood on the flag-raising platform, reading out points deduction items in a leisurely manner. His clothes were meticulously dressed, even the top buttons were tightly stitched, and the hem of his shirt was tied to his trousers neatly. Li, looking at it this way, the waist is quite thin.

He didn't know if it was He Xin's illusion, but he found that Li Yanqi's face was paler than usual, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Senior Class Two and Five." Li Yan paused for a moment, then glanced off the stage, "Student He Xin."

He Xin recovered from Fang Fei's thoughts, and met Li Yanqi's gaze.

"Violation of Article 30 of school regulations No. 1000, the school is not allowed to enter the school by motorcycle. This behavior has seriously affected the school order and the safety of the students. In particular, it is being punished with a warning. I will write a [-]-word review before next week and submit it to teaching office."

After finishing speaking, Li Yanqi hid the manuscript behind his back, bowed to the audience and said, "The reading is over."

It wasn't the first time that He Xin was criticized at a school meeting. In the past, this happened almost every half a month. He was used to it, so it didn't matter.But this time it made him a little angry, maybe it was because Li Yanqi was the one who pronounced his name, and He Xin felt a little humiliated by this sense of disgrace on and off stage.

Teacher Wang didn't take He Xin to the office to yell at him as soon as the morning meeting was over. He just patted him on the back and told him to put on his school uniform quickly. It's been noticeable for a while.

He Xin ignored her, walked forward without looking back, and blocked Li Yanqi at the door as she entered the classroom.

The students who had gathered around the podium laughing and swinging brooms dispersed at once. He Xin's innate arrogance and unfriendly aura were very scary. Just because he stood at the door with a gloomy face, there was nothing else The people in the class dare to come over.

Looking at it this way, Li Yanqi would surely lose in a real fight.

"Step aside."

He Xin glanced at him, "Show me what you read today."

Li Yanqi squeezed the morning reading manuscript in his hand, pushed him away, and walked to the other side without squinting.

He Xin didn't speak, but lowered his head and smiled. After a moment of silence, he suddenly rushed two steps like a swift leopard, grabbed Li Yanqi's collar with one hand and pulled it forward, Li Yanqi elbowed him She grabbed He Xin's stomach, broke free from his grip, and pushed him hard, causing He Xin to be hit against the wall.

There was a loud "bang".

The students below exclaimed, turned their eyes to He Xin, held their breath and stopped talking.

Liao Mei was the first to rush over and tugged at Li Yanqi's arm.

"Don't worry about it!" Li Yanqi's voice was very hoarse, and he still dragged a weak ending, without looking at Liao Mei, he walked a few steps towards He Xin, "Why are you crazy?"

He Xin has accumulated a lot of inexplicable anger in the past two days. He can't explain why, but he just feels annoyed, and everyone is not pleasing to the eye. Just now, Li Yanqi's push just pushed the rebellious boy to the edge of impulsiveness. .

If you go crazy, you go crazy. If you don't go crazy, I'm not He Xin.

He Xin "slapped" the lighter in his hand, and just about to throw his fist at Li Yanqi's face, suddenly an unexpected visitor appeared at the door, and Jiang Zhiming followed a group of people, wandering to the front of their class, taking advantage of the fight between the two He gave Li Yanqi a hard push.

Because the action came so suddenly, neither He Xin nor Li Yanqi could react.

"Ah!" Someone yelled next to him.

Li Yanqi adjusted the posture of his legs, but due to inertia, he still couldn't stop the car, and he couldn't avoid colliding with He Xin. This was a bit violent, Li Yanqi felt dizzy due to weightlessness, and pain appeared on his face look.

The piece of paper she was clutching fell to the side, He Xin reached out to pick it up, glanced at it, and her expression changed instantly.

Violation of the code of conduct that cannot ride a motorcycle into the campus... There is a line below.

Last week, He Xin's beatings outside the school caused a bad impact on the school, violating the regulations prohibiting students from fighting...He Xin didn't finish watching, but he obviously knew one thing, Li Yanqi didn't understand This bulletin is criticized and read out.

why?

"Brother Ta!" Liao Mei trotted two steps towards them.

It was only then that He Xin realized that Li Yanqi was leaning on his shoulder and was not moving. The other party's breath was blowing towards the side of his neck. The temperature was very high and hot, and there was thin thin sweat on his forehead.

Li Yanqi has a fever?

He Xin's hand, which had been stiff in the air for a long time, dropped down and put it on the opponent's waist, using his strength to pull him up.

After Li Yanqi was pulled up by him, he sat on the seat and relaxed, and the dizziness disappeared.

Jiang Zhiming came to his class to show off his strength and put Li Yanqi and He Xin into trouble before he left triumphantly.

He Xin cursed "Fuck" in a low voice, and just about to chase after him, she saw Li Yanqi reaching out to stop him, the hair on his forehead was already completely wet, and a drop of sweat dripped down the bridge of his nose, falling onto his mouth. Lips will show dimples.

Liao Mei said from the side, "Brother Ta, you must have burned to 40 degrees!"

After finishing speaking, he dragged Li Yanqi to the infirmary. At this time, Teacher Wang came in high heels. He Xin glanced at her, his eyes fell heavily on Li Yanqi's face, and then dragged him to his side Come.

"He Xin, what are you doing?"

He Xin said, "Take your classmates to the infirmary."

Teacher Wang said worriedly, "Is the monitor sick?"

Liao Mei fucked me, "You wanted to beat Brother Ta just now."

He Xin ignored them and looked at Li Yanqi, "Going to the infirmary?"

"No." Li Yanqi hoarse voice, very stubborn.

Relying on her long legs and great strength, He Xin took a step to lift Li Yanqi up on the spot.

"Go." Li Yanqi's mind was muddled, but his thinking was very clear. He sighed, thinking that this person was simply a fucking rascal.
