Boiling point

Finding faults never needs a reason, just like Jiang Zhiming's idiot doesn't need a reason. He is born with this tone, which makes people feel disgusted.

He Xin frowned, the excitement of sweating just now was completely disturbed, Xu Lan snorted coldly, wanted to continue to hug He Xin and Li Yanqi to talk about what he had just said, but the sound of pushing and shoving behind him It's not over.

"Wow, it's been a lot of fun." Jiang Zhiming stretched out his hand and pushed hard, smashing the basketball hard on the ground.

"Let's have a competition too." The words were said to Fei Li, but his eyes turned to He Xin on the other side.

He Xin snorted in her heart, so you deserve it?

"Do you dare?" Jiang Zhiming was about to push forward after taking a step, and kept his head down without speaking with great effort, but he poked the edge of the railing with his finger.

"It just so happens that Li Yanqi is here too, we've got it all together." Jiang Zhiming smiled, "Will you come to the Friendship Match?"

Li Yanqi clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his neck bulged. He took two deep breaths in silence, turned around and left.

"Yo." Jiang Zhiming sneered.

"Don't yell at them." Fudge raised his head, and the voice suddenly rang out, "Jiang Zhiming, what my family owes you and what your family owes me, we two can do the math."

Jiang Zhiming was bewildered by his sudden resistance, he was stunned for a moment, and applauded him.

With a sneer, he waved his fist and greeted him on the right side of his face.

Fei Li was staggered from the beating, took two steps back, and held his hands on the ground for a while before barely falling.

He Xin glanced at Li Yanqi, and felt that his straight back was trembling, and he should be severely suppressing his anger.

"Look, no one cares about you." Jiang Zhiming said with a smile, "It's hard work, your classmates are watching a good show there, just like before."

He struggled not to speak, except that when he mentioned Li Yanqi just now, he had violent mood swings, and now he seems to have built an emotional barrier again, no matter what others say, he stays out of the matter.

Relying on the "special treatment" he enjoyed in school, Jiang Zhiming also felt that Li Yanqi and He Xin would not dare to commit violence against him rashly, so he farted more brazenly. He was not just trying to humiliate him. The subtext of the words is provocative to the onlookers: I just see that you are upset, so come and hit me if you have the ability.

"You are the one who was abandoned." Jiang Zhiming smiled happily, "People like you deserve to die."

He Xin, who was about to break free from Xu Lan's arm and left along the way, stopped.

——He Xin, you can either stay at home obediently and don't cause trouble, or get out of here. Just pretend that I don't have your son, and I, He Wenbo, have given up on you.

—You killed my darling!Why don't you die!

The mineral water bottle in his hand was crushed hard by him, Li Yanqi was silent, just took a step forward when He Xin grabbed his wrist suddenly.

"Don't you care?"

Li Yanqi looked at him, pushed his hand away for a while, and sighed softly, and there were many indescribable things mixed in the sigh.

"Then I'll take care of it." He Xin turned her head, and before Li Yanqi could speak, she picked up the badminton racket and walked towards Jiang Zhiming with a murderous look.

Jiang Zhiming poked his struggling shoulder, and his arm was suddenly twisted. Before he could cry out in pain, his knee was kicked hard, and he couldn't help but lunged forward, his posture was very funny.

He Xin's fist slammed into Jiang Zhiming's body, and the group of people behind him stood still for a while, before they realized that the fight was about to start, so they also swarmed up and wrestled with He Xin.

"I'll fuck you!" Jiang Zhiming blocked it with his hand.

"You fucking only deserve to fuck my dog." He Xin punched him on the chin again, and Jiang Zhiming, who was already crooked, became even more crooked now.

Xu Lan also has a violent temper. This matter was originally out of his control, but he was very upset after such a disturbance. It has not been a day or two since Jiang Zhiming has been domineering. No one in the third year of high school liked him. The case brought an evil fire to his heart, he dusted off his clothes, took a look at Li Yanqi, and rushed over to join the battle.

Because of Xu Lan's temporary joining, the people on Jiang Zhiming's side were at a disadvantage in an instant. They could have thought about sneaking up on He Xin, but now they couldn't do anything.

He Xin didn't stop, and beat Jiang Zhiming to the ground twice.

"He Xin, just wait for me, you won't be afraid that I will take you..." Jiang Zhiming yelled loudly, but before he could finish his yell, he was swung by the badminton racket again.

"I'm not afraid of another [-] school-wide approvals." He Xin narrowed her eyes and punched him in the ribs again.

"If you're capable, beat yourself up, don't fucking show off, without your parents, you're nothing, you—" He Xin gave a thumbs up.

Jiang Zhiming didn't know whether he was stimulated or really hurt. After howling, he played tricks, stepped back to the edge of the tennis hoop, grabbed the tennis ball in his hand and smashed it on He Xin's face while he was off guard.

He Xin immediately leaned to the side, and the skin around her mouth was still scratched, showing some color.

This ignited all the fire in He Xin's heart. He kicked Jiang Zhiming's back hard, and then grabbed the opponent's hair and wanted to hit the pillar. In the confusion, Li Yanqi noticed this scene, He said to Liao Mei, "Go to the teacher."

"No..." Liao Mei was also a little nervous, "I have to remember everything when I shouted."

Li Yanqi walked towards He Xin without turning his head, "Remembering your mistakes is better than going to jail, He Xin's temper..." He didn't continue, stepped forward and pressed He Xin's hand, urging Liao Mei said, "Go!"

The fight was so dark, Li Yanqi stepped forward to pull people, even got up from the ground with great effort to pull Xu Lan.

He Xin was firmly caught in the chest by Li Yanqi from behind, and he dragged back a few steps as if he folded his arms. He tried his best to break free from the opponent's grip, his eyes were full of indifference.

Jiang Zhiming pointed at him, "Come again, fuck, you trash."

He Xin raised his leg to hook the basketball, and kicked towards him. Just when the scene got out of control again, the teaching director rushed into the basketball court on high heels, and shouted loudly, "Stop!"

Of course no one listened to her, He Xin always disdained other people's stares, no one could stop him when he became angry.

With the support of Director Peng, Jiang Zhiming became even more stubborn, but when he saw that there was a policeman behind him, he didn't care what happened, so he pretended to be pitiful.

Director Peng was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he looked at He Xin and Li Yanqi with a little more disgust.

The director surnamed Peng has received many big red envelopes from Jiang Zhiming's father, and he is too proficient in business. Jiang Zhiming glanced at her. Director Peng immediately understood, and said seriously, "This matter can't end like this, you all give I'll go back and write a review."

Jiang Zhiming pointed to his wounds, and said badly to the police uncle, "I demand that the violence be dealt with seriously."

What he meant was to get He Xin and Xu Lan into the police station to squat for two days. Li Yanqi raised his head and looked at the policeman, his expression lost in thought. He Xin took a bottle of water and drank it, but he didn't care. his words.

Director Peng couldn't help but interjected, "Officer Xu, the Li Yanqi you're looking for is that classmate, look at this..."

Xu Chenyan turned off his police cap calmly, pointed at the person over there, "Take it seriously, everyone, come back to the police station with me."

Director Peng said, "Jiang Zhiming is the victim, so let's not use it."

Xu Chenyan showed a simple smile of the people's policeman, "All of them, Director Peng, one is safe, the museum is not, you can notify their parents one by one."

After taking two steps forward, he turned back and said, "There's no need for that one." He stretched out his fingers and shrank to the corner of the wall, completely unable to see Xu Lan who just turned the sky upside down, "Come here, brother."

"Fuck me." Xu Lan turned his face away and scolded, and raised his head with layers of fake smiles, "Brother, I was wrong."

Jiang Zhiming was confused by what happened in front of him, and it took him a while to realize that he was shooting himself in the foot.

Xu Chenyan looks so cool, he is a big police officer who is thirsty even if he talks nonsense, but he can chatter for three hours continuously, in the name of education, but in fact it is to challenge their bottom line, Xu Lan With his face blank, he closed his eyes and read those few familiar words, and he could even lip-synch with him.

He Xin yawned from the side, "How long is it?"

Xu Lansheng had nothing to fall in love with, "It's only now that violence can't solve any problems. I guess there is still an hour left."

He Xin lost her temper, "I'll fuck it."

Xu Lan bumped his arm again, "Look at Jiang Zhiming, he feels like he's more broken than us, my brother yelled at him the whole time, hahaha, that's an idiot."

He Xin also smiled, and he turned to look at Li Yanqi, who lowered his head and stared at the ground, that aloof expression aroused his dissatisfaction.

The farce didn't end until ten o'clock in the evening. Jiang Zhiming's father hurried over after finishing business and picked him up from the police station.

Seeing that Li Yanqi was also there, he was surprised and sneered meaningfully.

"meet again."

Li Yanqi passed them both without saying a word, and went straight to the door.

"Your father hasn't come back yet. After all these years, he probably died outside." Jiang Zhiming's father bowed to Xu Chenyan after speaking, "Thank you Officer Xu, then I will take my son and leave first."

Xu Chenyan made a smirk, and when the person left, he immediately lowered his face, turned around and called to Li Yanqi who turned to leave.

"There's only one week left." Xu Chenyan said, "Do you still have the original answer?"

Li Yanqi rubbed the dust on the wall, and replied, "I really don't know where he is, as he said, maybe Li Jiming has died in some corner, and no one even picked up the body."

Xu Chenyan was silent for a moment, and didn't ask any more questions. He raised his hand and patted Li Yanqi's shoulder, "That classmate of yours is really good-tempered, and brought my Lanlan into trouble."

Li Yanqi said, "Before He Xin came, Xu Lan should be the number one person in Nanxi No. [-] Middle School that you should not mess with."

Xu Chenyan smiled, "Then I have to thank him very much, otherwise I would probably have seven or eight more things about wiping that bastard's ass."

Li Yanqi lowered his head and said softly, "Thank you."

Xu Chenyan said, "You didn't get involved in this matter, so don't thank me, I know it's difficult for you to do, and in today's situation, if I were you, I might not know what to do."

Li Yanqi didn't answer his words, and waved goodbye.

Xu Chenyan turned around and kicked the wall, a piece of the wall was brushed off, which shocked Xu Lan who was struggling to talk.

"Stinky boy, get out of here!"

Xu Lan stroked his bluish-skinned prickly hair, jumped on the spot twice, stretched his muscles and bones a bit, and after walking two steps, he revealed his true colors, was scolded by Xu Chenyan, and he leaned on the wall and wept with a mournful face , Before going in, he didn't forget to blink hard as if he was being handsome.

Tired was amused, looked up at He Xin, pointed to his bleeding lips, and was about to speak when the other party twisted his neck and turned to the other side.

He Xin put away the serious look on his face, and took two strenuous steps with a cigarette in his mouth, "Go home, don't be unlucky on the way."

"Thank you." Said hard.

"No need." He Xin said, "I'm happy."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced back. Li Yanqi had already turned into the dark alley. He withdrew his hand, but didn't hear what Li Li said next, and quickly chased after him with his schoolbag.

He Xin ran around the corner and found that Li Yanqi was right in front of him. The street lamps stretched his shadow very long, as if he was about to melt into the dark night.

"Is it you who called the teacher?"

Li Yanqi turned his head, He Xin took two steps towards him, and stood facing him, nimbly turning the lighter with his fingertips, with unhappiness overflowing from his eyes.

"Yes." Li Yanqi admitted without hesitation.

He Xin pushed him hard, "How capable are you? You don't know that Peng Datou and Jiang Zhiming are in the same group? If Officer Xu happened to come over today, wouldn't you still have to suffer this wrong for your hard work?"

Li Yanqi shook off his hand, "Will writing a self-criticism kill you? Or do you want to go to jail? With the way you played before, three fucking police officers can't save you."

"Fuck!" He Xin got a little angry, threw away the lighter, stepped forward and held him down again, "You bastard, even Xu Lan's heartless mind knows that you have to work hard to help, you... "

Li Yanqi smiled, "They say he is short-hearted, I am not, I repeat, I don't want to meddle in your business at all, hard work has nothing to do with me, why should I... ..”

He Xin punched Li Yanqi on the right side of the face.

Li Yanqi was stunned for a moment. After grabbing his hand, he flung it back fiercely. He lowered his head and touched the blood on his lower lip. At this moment, the emotions full of grievance and forbearance were ignited, and He Xin punched again. When he came over, he bowed his legs suddenly, and his knee hit his stomach. He kicked again in pursuit of the victory, and grabbed He Xin's collar and bumped it against the wall.

"You know shit!"

Li Yanqi let out a low growl, "He Xin, you know nothing!"

"I don't want to understand farts, I fucking want to beat you right now!" He Xin rushed forward to fight him inseparably.

The two were evenly matched, and neither would give in to the other. You punched me and I kicked you, and rolled twice on the ground. Li Yanqi grabbed He Xin's collar, and He Xin's leg hooked Li Yanqi's. Waist, at the same time loosen, panting and lying on the ground.

After a minute of silence, Li Yanqi rested his arms on his face, his chest heaving violently.

"Do you think I'm indifferent?"

He Xin didn't speak, but wiped her face with her sleeve.

"Yes, I admit, I am such a person. I am poor and afraid. I have learned to bow my head to reality after so many years of living in poverty. I am not as daring as you are, and I am not as daring as you. If you are in a hurry, you can fuck me out Your courage and fearlessness, without your unrestrained loyalty, I am living in the most ugly posture, trying my best to protect the little thing I have, am I wrong?"

He Xin choked up when he heard his voice, but soon calmed down.

"When my younger brother was sick, when he was in pain from chemotherapy, when he couldn't speak, when he was crying and thinking about his parents every night, I was the only one he could rely on."

Li Yanqi stood up from the ground and looked directly at He Xin, his pupils were pitch black and had no warmth.

"The first lesson life taught me, do you know what it is?" Li Yanqi smiled and said, "You never know how small you are."

He Xin propped up her arms, and in the darkness, she could only see the rough outline of the other party, but it was very clear, a tear on the bridge of her nose.

"Don't bother me about this anymore, He Xin, no one can live so simply, I can't, and neither can you."

This was the last sentence Li Yanqi said before leaving, but it kept playing in He Xin's mind on a loop.

No one can live a simple life, and in this grotesque world, no one is immune.

There was a dull sore on his body, He Xin stood up and saw that the lighter on the ground had died because of their fight.Fuck, what the hell can do it, He Xin rubbed her sore arm, leaned against the streetlight for a long time, then turned and walked towards the intersection.

On the street late at night, neon lights are full, dyeing the sky very brightly.There are hawkers shouting everywhere, they are wearing simple and old clothes, shouting enthusiastically; a group of drunkards who are drunk, passing by him shoulder to shoulder, laughing loudly regardless of the eyes of others; The office workers, in the end, passed the last bus. They stayed where they were, sighed in frustration, then picked up their mobile phones, chatted with their parents with a smile, and said, "It's not hard at all today."

Every silhouette is lonely and upward.

He Xin stood on the street, smoking an unlit cigarette, feeling that every scene he saw at the moment was like a movie clip, or a story closely related to survival.

——I just need to live for myself.

He thought he would never remember his birthday wish when he was 15 years old.

Wu Rui's wechat video request interrupted He Xin's thoughts. He turned on his phone and waved to the person inside.

Wu Rui smiled first, then patted the table in shock, "Fuck, what's wrong with your face?"

He Xin sighed, "Is it obvious?"

Wu Rui said, "Nonsense! Your mouth is red. I thought you were kissed by some girl, but I saw blood. It must be so impatient to beat you."

He Xin rubbed the corner of her mouth, "I beat him up enough too, he can't please me."

Wu Rui clicked his tongue, "Your life is very colorful, tell me, why did you two fight? For the girl?"

He Xin said disgustedly, "Don't be so girly, am I like you? Is it enough reason to be upset?"

Wu Rui said, "Come on, I don't know you yet, my sensitive nerves have been poked."

He Xin was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "If you think this person shouldn't be like this, but he turns out to be like this, will you be angry?"

Wu Rui thought for a while and said, "No, what you think is what you think. If you think it's wrong, it proves that you don't know him well enough. Why are you angry? If you want to know more, get closer to him distance."

"I haven't." After He Xin replied, she fell silent again.

Wu Rui's detour clarified what was unclear in his heart. The reason why he was angry was not because Li Yanqi didn't help, but because he thought Li Yanqi should be such an upright and brave person. There is a contrast between reality and imagination, even if he understands that Li Yanqi is forced by reality, he will still be upset because of his misjudgment.

But that unpleasantness seemed to fade a little now, from the moment he saw Li Yanqi's tears.

What the fuck is this subtle psychological process?

"Hey, you, it's not love!" Wu Rui laughed in surprise.

"Fart." He Xin walked back home, "By the way, is Uncle's law firm busy recently?"

Wu Rui paused, "What? Did you commit a crime?!"

He Xin casually changed the subject, "Forget it, it's okay, hang up, I'll go buy roasted gluten."

After Wu Rui's strong request, He Xin turned the camera around for him to let him appreciate the street culture of Nanxi Snack Street.

"Ah, it's so beautiful." Wu Rui said, "The bridge over there is so beautiful."

He Xin held the roasted gluten in one hand and pocketed it in the other, and smiled.

When he got home to take a shower, He Xin found that his arms and legs were covered with bruises, and his face was painted. Whenever he got in the water, he throbbed in pain. After taking a shower, he lay on the bed, turned his face slightly, and saw the opposite room The lights have gone out.

He Xin touched the medicine on the bedside table, swallowed it, and listened to the Rain app for a while, probably because she was really tired, and fell asleep before she knew it.

When he woke up the next day, the sun was already high, and weekends were the most boring time for him. He was bored, and he felt discouraged.

He Xin was planning to go out to buy some food, but when he opened the door, he saw the little milk foam squatting in front of the house.

"you......."

"Brother Lemon Jing, you're up." Little Milk Bubble rubbed his calf and said.

"Ah." He Xin leaned against the wall, "What?"

The little guy raised his head and asked eagerly, "Does what you promised me at breakfast yesterday still count?"

Li Yanqi took off his headgear and wiped his sweat with a piece of paper. The weather was fine today, and there were many people in the amusement park. Countless people rushed over to hug him in the morning, crushing Pikachu's stomach.

There was no pain anywhere in his body, especially his shoulders had to bear the weight of the huge headgear, which made the bruises there even worse.

After a minute of rest, Li Yanqi saw a new wave of tourists coming in from the ticket gate. He immediately put on a hood and posed for them to take pictures.

Every time he sees these carefree children, he feels sorry for Li An. He has never been to an amusement park. His health is part of the reason, and his lack of time is also the reason.

Because of this part-time job, the boss gave him a ticket. He Xin responded casually to Li An's words during breakfast yesterday, and it should be just a passing word. Besides, they quarreled last night and even got into a big fight.

At this moment, someone tugged at his paw, not with the strength of a child.

"Give me a balloon."

Li Yanqi froze when he heard the voice, and couldn't recover for a while in the hood.

It's He Xin?
