Boiling point

He Xin dragged Li Yanqi down the stairs, and could feel the sticky sweat and scalding heat on the other's arm. Jiang Zhiming's fuss just now made him very angry. Just as he was about to pull out a cigarette to smoke, he realized that Li Yanqi slowed down, leaning against the wall and frowning.

"He Xin." Li Yanqi breathed out with difficulty, "I won't go to the infirmary."

He Xin pointed not far away and said, "There is still a flight of stairs, if you can't climb it, I will carry you there."

Li Yanqi shook his head, and it was only then that He Xin realized that something was wrong with the other party. He supported his body and shifted his weight back a little, his heels were pressed against the wall, but his legs were still a little weak.

Classes had already started at this moment, and there was no one in the corridor. He Xin approached a little closer and heard Li Yanqi's heavy breathing. His school uniform jacket was soaked in cold sweat, and there was an obvious bloodstain on his waist and abdomen.

He Xin was startled, "A knife wound?"

Li Yanqi took a breath, "I hit you just now, and the wound opened."

"You were hacked?" He Xin lowered her voice.

Li Yanqi closed his eyes silently, then nodded lightly, and walked forward with his hands on the wall after a while, "That's why I can't go to the infirmary."

He Xin seldom has such a moment of surprise that he can't speak. In the past, whoever cut someone down and whoever knocked him down is also a common occurrence in their school. His face is ashen, but this person is Li Yanqi, Li Yanqi is synonymous with good students.

He Xin propped her hands on both sides of the railing, glanced at Li Yanqi who was moving at a fast pace, and said, "I don't care what happened to you, I'll call your parents if you see blood..."

Li Yanqi looked up at him, and He Xin closed his mouth in good time.

Oh, he forgot that Li Yanqi has no parents either.

There was a moment of silence, and the two of them just stood there. He Xin didn't have as good concentration as him, so he took the lead and said, "Let's go, go to the hospital."

Li Yanqi turned his head, "You let me take it easy."

He Xin watched him bear with himself, and 2 minutes later, Li Yanqi tied up his school uniform trousers, just covering the blood stains, then smoothed his messy hair with his hands, then wiped the sweat from his forehead, making a hoarse voice Voice said, "Let's go."

Passing through the security gate was easier than imagined. Li Yanqi said that he had a cold and a fever, so the security guard called Mr. Wang to verify. Li Yanqi explained on the phone, and the security guard quickly let him go.

He hailed a taxi to go to the hospital. A few minutes after the car drove out, He Xin turned around and saw Li Yanqi closed his eyes with a sad expression, completely different from the calm look of lying with his eyes open just now.

A master of performance, He Xin twitched the corners of her mouth and closed the window.

Instead of going to Ren'ai Hospital, which is close to the school, Li Yanqi was afraid that a familiar doctor would tell Li An if he saw that he was injured.They drove until they were close to the city center before they got out of the car.

There were quite a lot of people today, and the emergency department was overcrowded. It took him more than ten minutes to get his turn. Fortunately, the wound was only open, and there was no serious deterioration. The fever was caused by the hot weather, and the doctor was a bit talkative. While re-bandaging him, he muttered, "You young people, you don't learn good things, but learn how to fight with others. Your parents let you go to school not to fight evil and be knifed. Why don't you think about your family."

Li Yanqi closed his eyes and did not answer, so the doctor turned his finger on He Xin. He Xin was so annoyed that his brain hurt, and he couldn't get angry in the hospital, so he had to hold his breath and kicked a stool, looked up at the doctor, "Where can I get it?" Medicine? I'll go first."

The doctor asked him to go to the second floor to get the infusion bag first, and then go to the third floor to get antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs. After He Xin left, he wanted to continue to poison the patient. Li Yanqi pointed to his head, "The curse will strangle me to death soon." gone."

"If you can still make a joke, it means you're still alive," the doctor said.

Li Yanqi smiled, the iodine stained the wound, he didn't frown, but turned his face away.

He Xin went to the infusion room first to explore the way. Today, there are many children who are sick and hang water, and the wailing and wailing are continuous, with one wave after another, torturing his eardrum very rhythmically, so he gave Li Yan arbitrarily The grade of Qi infusion has been upgraded to the VIP level, a ward for one person, with a sofa, a TV, and a bed inside.

Li Yanqi walked in carrying the bottle, sighed lightly, and criticized his extravagance with his eyes.

"I didn't ask you to pay, I paid already." He Xin gave up the position of the bed and asked the nurse to turn off the air conditioner here.

"Aren't you hot?" Li Yanqi said.

He Xin glanced at him, "It's okay, I'll turn it on when it's hot."

Then there was an awkward silence, Li Yanqi rested on the bed, not sure if he was asleep or not, He Xin sat on the side, played a few games, lost very irritable, I don't know how long, the nurse came in and changed the IV again went out silently.

Probably the strong smell of disinfectant in the hospital reminded He Xin of his mother's nursing home, and even brought him to have a bad nightmare when he half-dozed, struggled to jump up, and reflexively glanced at the lying down sleeping Li Yanqi, the uncomfortable feeling in his heart came up slowly, and he couldn't hold it back.

He Xin is not a person who can hold back things, he will not ask nonsense about anything he doesn't care about, but what he wants to know, he will never beat around the bush.

Li Yanqi was woken up by his movement, the wound in his lower abdomen was still aching, but his dizziness had eased a lot. He reached for the water glass, but when his fingertip touched the rim of the glass, He Xin stopped him halfway.

Without giving him a chance to speak, He Xin poured a glass of water and looked at him condescendingly, "Why didn't you continue reading?"

"what?"

He Xin said, "Don't play dumb."

Li Yanqi didn't pretend to be stupid, he really didn't remember this incident, he thought for a while before he understood what the other party meant.

When he got the criticism report in the morning, he knew that Jiang Zhiming was messing with him on purpose. He Xin has a bad temper, typically quiet like a dog, crazy like a wild wolf, and made him embarrassing in public. He would not let it go so easily. Well, if he really wanted to fight Jiang Zhiming, the other party would have a reason to let him confirm the words "seeking troubles and provoking troubles".

"Hello." He Xin pushed his arm very hard.

"I'm a patient." Li Yanqi glanced at the needle that was almost knocked off, "Do you have any points?"

He Xin patted the head of the bed, "I didn't count, if you don't answer, I might not even count, believe it or not."

"I believe, I'm still going crazy this morning." Li Yanqi coughed, and sat up propping himself up, "There's no reason, I'm not feeling well, and I can't read any more."

He Xin gave him a sideways glance in obvious disbelief.

"Really, if I read it any further, I might fall off the stage. How embarrassing."

He Xin was silent for a while, and put the cup in his hand. Although Li Yanqi's voice was still weak, his expression had already recovered. The distance between the two was very close. He looked into Li Yanqi's eyes, but couldn't catch them. Flaws of lying.

He Xin pulled a chair from the side and sat down, no longer asked the answer whether he wanted to read or not, and played the game on his own. Li Yanqi watched the drip calmly, and occasionally replied to a few messages.

After losing a few more rounds, He Xin dropped her phone, kicked her legs, and took out a cigarette from her pocket. This man had a conscience, so he went out to smoke after a moment of silence.

Li Yanqi called Li An.

"Brother has something to do at noon today, can I ask Brother Liao to bring you food?"

"Okay, brother, I have to take medicine obediently today."

"Well, baby is awesome."

"Hey, who made your knife wound?" He Xin rushed in suddenly and yelled at him loudly. Li Yanqi immediately covered the receiver, and his back stiffened involuntarily.

"Who is it?" Li An asked on the phone.

"It's okay." Li Yanqi smiled, "Brother is going to be busy, let Brother Liao play with you later."

After hanging up the phone, He Xin looked at him and repeated it again.

"My brother almost scared you to death." Li Yanqi gave him a reproachful look.

"Do I have to ask Ann to speak again?" He Xin tuskd.

"That's not necessary." Li Yanqi smiled, then took a sip of water in silence, and raised his eyes, He Xin was still standing in front of him without moving, like a debt collector.

"If you came to ask me for a debt that day, I guess I wouldn't fight back, and would give the money with both hands."

He Xin said, "Because I'm handsome?"

Li Yanqi shook his head, "Because you are fierce."

"Fuck." He Xin glared at him viciously, and suddenly realized that there was something in his words, she pondered her words and said, "You owe someone money?"

"It's not me." Li Yanqi's voice became cold, and he continued after a pause, "It's my dad. He used to borrow money from loan sharks when he couldn't pay off his gambling debts. Then he ran away and disclosed my information. Get out and let them ask for it, I don't have any money, so I let them cut it."

He Xin said, "What about the 5000 yuan I gave you?"

"It's the medical expenses for my brother's medical treatment, and I can't move it." Li Yanqi twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly, "A senior gambler like my dad is not worthy of my repaying the debt for him, because you are not tall, and you have to pay it off after paying it off." There are ten bills waiting."

He Xin turned the lighter in his hand, and didn't know what to say to ease the atmosphere. After Li Yanqi said this, he leaned against the pillow and closed his eyes, looking very tired.

He Xin went out not long after, and didn't come back for a long time, probably because he was bored and went back to school to play ball. After twelve o'clock, the self-study in the afternoon just started, which happened to be the time for him to play wild every day.

Li Yanqi pulled out the needle, and the nurse told him to stay a little longer. The fever had not subsided, and he was afraid that he would get infected again after going out to sweat. , rested for another half an hour.

I can't fall asleep, and when I close my eyes, there are a bunch of villains arguing, chattering, and annoying.

Li Yanqi has encountered debt collection countless times since he was a child. His previous home was a tube building with a damp and musty smell all year round. Hui, he could hear neighbors quarreling and smashing pots and pans every day. The darkness and dilapidation in the corners were his last memories of childhood.

During the day he tidied himself up and went to school, and at night he went home to clean up the smoky house silently, moved his dad who lost his bet and got drunk to the bed, and made milk powder for his younger brother who had been crying in the cradle after a day of hunger , but also to deal with people who come to collect debts from time to time.

One day his dad finally realized his conscience and told him, son, dad was wrong, I have been sorry to you all these years, you have suffered.

He made a strong promise that in a month, he would take them out of here and go to a big city to see a doctor for his younger brother, so that he could study hard and live a normal life.

He believed it, and wanted to follow him full of hope, but in the end, his father left them alone and ran away, leaving behind countless messes.

Relying on his strong self-healing ability these years, he gritted his teeth and insisted on it, no matter what difficulties he swallowed, he thought, as long as he persisted, he would not always stand in a dark corner, as long as he walked forward, There will always be light.

After finally seeing some hope, he would be poured a basin of cold water on his head and knocked him back into the mud where he was struggling.

Maybe it's because he's sick, or maybe it's the time when his father's court date is approaching. Li Yanqi is very annoyed. He just thought about it for a minute. It's all aggrieved. He feels that the fever can't go away. .

There was a bruise on the back of his hand, and the nurse looked at him with pity, "Such a beautiful hand."

Li Yanqi smiled, "It's not cut off."

The nurse checked him carefully, and finally told him three times, "Don't get water on the wound, don't turn on the air conditioner too low, and no seafood fried food."

"En." Li Yanqi walked out.

"Remember to change the gauze in a few days. Although the wound is not deep, you still need to pay attention." The nurse said to his back, "Your friend is waiting outside, go find him quickly."

It wasn't until Li Yanqi walked to the door that he realized who the friend the nurse was talking about was.

He Xin didn't leave?It's been more than two hours.

Li Yanqi carried the medicine and walked out. He couldn't stride too far, and the wound was easy to crack, so it took him about ten minutes to reach the hospital entrance. As expected, He Xin was still there, with his back leaning against the cylindrical railing of the corridor, The long legs were slightly bent, and he was drinking a bottle of pulse with his head up. Li Yanqi looked at it, and it was lemon flavored.

His raised neck was thin and slender, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down as he swallowed. After drinking a bottle of water, he did not forget to do acrobatics, and threw it into the trash can on tiptoe, drawing a beautiful parabola.

Then Li Yanqi realized that his eyes had been on the mother and child playing in the park. The child was piling up sand, and the mother gently wiped the sweat off his face.

It is impossible to see a person's emotions from the back view, but Li Yanqi seemed to feel the confusion and loneliness in him as if he could empathize with him.

Is it lonely?Probably, the thorny loneliness all over my body.

Quite uniquely lonely.

"Are you still visiting?" Li Yanqi walked up to him.

"Fuck." He Xin jumped on the spot, "You fucking can't make a sound when you walk?"

"I still have to ask Ann to speak again?" Li Yanqi smiled.

These words sound familiar, and He Xin glanced at him, "It seems that he has recovered from his illness, and his mouth is so weak."

Li Yanqi said, "Why don't you go back to school?"

He Xin put her hands in her pockets, "It's boring, I don't want to go back."

"When will you be energetic?" Li Yanqi took out two steel coins from his pocket, "I'll go home to rest, and when you go back to school, take the No. 27 bus directly."

"I'll take a taxi." He Xin wiped the sweat from her hair.

Li Yanqi sighed, "It costs 65 yuan to take a taxi."

He Xin looked at him and sighed, "You are really the most stingy person I have ever met."

"I'm the poorest person you've ever seen." Li Yanqi saw the car coming, and took two steps forward, almost being pushed aside. He Xin pushed him inside, "Old, weak, sick and disabled A special seat is prepared for you."

His voice was quite loud, there were not many people in the car, everyone turned their heads to them in unison.

Li Yanqi looked a little embarrassed.

"Young man, you haven't put in coins yet!" the driver shouted at He Xin.

"I won't get on, I'll take a taxi."

He Xin put Li Yanqi in the seat, jumped two steps, and got out of the car.

After the car drove a certain distance, the driver broke the conversation, "If you don't get on, you can't get on. If you take a taxi, you feel like you're on a spaceship."

Everyone on the bus laughed, and Li Yanqi also laughed.

He glanced back through the window. He Xin put on his earphones and stood under the shade of a tree to stop the car. He was intercepted by the aunt who appeared out of nowhere, and he kicked the stone with gritted teeth. Needless to say, his expression should be very stinky.

Li Yanqi sat at the bottom station, and it took nearly four or ten minutes to drive. He would not sleep in a strange place, and he always had to be vigilant when he was alone, but he couldn't resist the drowsiness at the moment. He probably knew the way home subconsciously. It was safe. With the bumps of the bus, the wound didn't hurt any more. It was a miracle.
