BE Crazy Demon Survival System
Chapter 85 It's Better to Start Over From Scratch
From that day on, Xia Zhixu never went to the fifth floor to look for Xu Qichen.
After waking up from that beautiful dream, he sat on the bed sweating profusely and stared blankly for a long time.He couldn't believe that he was probably crazy to have such fantasies about his friends.
This is the biggest disaster he has encountered in 16 years.
Even when he went home, he tried to keep a certain distance from Xu Qichen, just to prevent him from discovering what was in his heart.
If Xu Qichen found out, would he feel disgusted?He is so simple, so gentle.
Thinking about such things too much, Xia Zhixu would even have nightmares at night.The content of the dream is nothing more than being discovered by others and being despised by everyone.But he doesn't care about other people's opinions, the only thing he cares about most is Xu Qichen.
If he knows, is he still willing to be friends with himself?
Certainly not.
"Hey, do you want to play basketball in this PE class?"
Chen Fang and Xia Zhixu went down the stairs side by side, Xia Zhixu hummed, "Let's fight."
"You're so weird recently," Chen Fang turned his head to look at his face, "What are you thinking about all day long? Sigh, you'll be on vacation in a few days."
Xia Zhixu shook his head, "I didn't think about anything."
The two walked to the playground, and Chen Fang saw a large group of girls, and then remembered, "Class 4 also has physical education class today."
The word "Class 4" was like a thorn in Xia Zhixu's heart.After struggling for a long time, he still couldn't help raising his eyes, looking around for the familiar figure.Finally, I found him in the 4th class that was gathering. The strong sunlight made his eyes squint, and his whole body was sunburned. He was so cute.
Xia Zhixu hastily withdrew his gaze.
Terrible.It's really terrible.
Gathered with my own class, then ran around the playground twice, and heard a few words from the physical education teacher before disbanding on the spot. There were many boys in class 13, and they automatically surrounded Xia Zhixu after the end, discussing playing basketball Regarding the matter of the team, but Xia Zhixu's heart is not on the basketball in front of him at all, he has already flown to another class not far away, so he can only smile and say, "It's okay, you decide."
His condition was too bad, and he couldn't make any shots, so that was fine. The dazed Xia Zhixu accidentally bumped into the basketball hoop, scraping a piece of skin off his elbow, which was very hot.
I feel irritable, and if I continue to fight, I will burst into flames.Xia Zhixu retreated by himself, walked to an empty court with a remaining basketball in his arms, "You play, I don't feel good today, let's practice throwing."
A person faces the ball frame and shoots repeatedly.
The more you invest, the more chaotic you become.
"I haven't been wandering around on the fifth floor recently, I miss you so much~"
Just hearing this voice, Xia Zhixu rolled his eyes to the sky, and was about to make a layup, when Xia Xiqing who came over suddenly blocked him.
"I said you've been so bad lately that even I can cover you up." Xia Xiqing smiled and threw the ball back into Xia Zhixu's arms.
"What are you doing in our class?" Xia Zhixu patted the ball on the ground without looking up.
"Oh~" Xia Xiqing stretched her waist, "Xiao Chenchen was confessed by others, of course I have to avoid it, otherwise I will be too blind."
Xia Zhixu paused his hand, raised his head, Xia Xiqing took a big step to the side, and two figures appeared in the vacant line of sight.
Xu Qichen was standing on the edge of the football field, and there was a petite girl in front of him.
"Our Chen Chen is good-looking and talented, so it's not surprising that people like him." Xia Xiqing raised his hand to cover the sunlight in front of him, and looked at the two people over there, "Don't say, we look pretty good together." , a boy like him should be matched with a well-behaved cute girl."
He clearly knew that Xia Xiqing was a person who was afraid of chaos in the world.
Knowing that he deliberately let himself see this.
Xia Zhixu just couldn't control his emotions.
He tilted his head, grabbed the basketball with one hand, and lifted it up.
He suddenly threw it in the direction of the two people.
Boom.The basketball fell straight to a position less than half a meter away from the two feet, and then bounced high.The girl was startled by the loud noise and the sudden basketball, and subconsciously hid behind Xu Qichen.
"I'll go..." Xia Xiqing was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "You are scarier than I imagined." He reached out and patted his shoulder, "Restrain yourself, or you will be finished."
"Not everyone is as indifferent as I am, Xia Zhixu."
After provoking, Xia Xiqing left the crime scene leisurely.
Xu Qichen followed the direction of the basketball, saw Xia Zhixu, put some distance between him and the girl behind him, and said softly, "Are you okay?"
"No, I was just shocked."
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xu Qichen looked up and saw Xia Zhixu running over with a bright smile on his face, his tone was full of apology, "I'm sorry, I accidentally dropped my hand when I was playing, are you okay?"
When the girl saw that it was Xia Zhixu, her face was filled with surprise and joy. She was suddenly concerned by the super grass. She was at a loss for words, "I didn't meet him, but I was shocked..."
"That's great, I was taken aback too, it will be a disaster if it hits someone." Xia Zhi Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally his eyes fell on Xu Qichen, "What about you?"
Xu Qichen stared into his eyes, as if trying to see something from them.
"I am fine."
Xia Zhixu smiled, picked up the basketball on the ground and put it under his arm, and said in a clear tone, "How about this, I invite you to drink and treat it as my apology, okay?"
No girl would refuse his invitation.
There was this girl between them, Xu Qichen was standing on the right, his whole body was sunburned and groggy.Walking from the football field to the empty cafeteria, Xu Qichen didn't speak all the way, but just silently listened to the voices of the two people around him.
The person I like, and the person who claims to like me, have a lively conversation.
The three of them sat in the empty seats in the cafeteria. Xia Zhixu bought three cups of milk tea, one for each of them. He sat next to Xu Qichen very sensibly, allowing Xu Qichen to face this girl face to face.
But Xu Qichen only felt reserved, he didn't want to sit face to face with the person he was confessing to, and he didn't want to have another Xia Zhixu in such a scene.
"What were you talking about at the football field just now?" Xia Zhixu asked with a smile, holding a straw in his mouth.
Seeing the girl first looked up at him in surprise, then hesitated and couldn't say a complete sentence.
Xia Zhixu pretended to be ignorant and guessed: "Could it be a confession?" He put his arms on the table, deliberately moved closer to the girl, and stared at her face carefully, "So Xu Qichen likes you like that." girl."
"No, it's not..." The girl's ears turned red, she was very embarrassed, "I told him..."
"Oh, I got it upside down." He showed a suddenly realized expression.
To be honest, Xia Zhixu doesn't know why he is so mean now.
But he just wanted to make everyone uncomfortable, not just himself.
"I think you are quite worthy." Xia Zhixu deliberately took Xu Qichen's arm, "Don't think he usually doesn't talk, but he is actually a very good person."
"I...I know..."
you know?what do you know...
Xia Zhixu lowered his head and smiled.
The unprovoked malice made him hate himself.
Xu Qichen felt panicked in his heart, maybe it was because of the helplessness of the confession, maybe it was the basketball that fell out of the blue, or maybe it was Xia Zhixu who misunderstood him vigorously, in short, he didn't want to stay here any longer.
"I'm not feeling well. I'm going to the infirmary." After speaking, he stood up and walked out of the cafeteria without even taking the milk tea.
The girl was obviously confused, but Xu Qichen was originally a person who hid deeply, and she never understood it.
Xia Zhixu smiled, "It seems that I disturbed you, I'm really sorry." After finishing speaking, he picked up the basketball on the ground, and held his milk tea cup with the other hand, "Drink slowly, I'll drink it first Let's go." He showed a friendly smile towards the girl, "I wish you success."
He also left after speaking.
Xu Qichen was walking ahead, the dazzling sunlight was about to melt him.With a distance of five or six meters, Xia Zhixu walked behind, holding a cup of milk tea and sipping it slowly.
He originally thought that Xu Qichen was just looking for an excuse to get away, but he was a little worried in case he was really uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but follow behind him.
Unexpectedly, he actually went to the infirmary.
There was no one in the infirmary, so Xu Qichen walked into the consultation room. There were some daily disinfection tools and medicines on the table. He picked up a medicine bottle and looked at the label on it.
After hesitating for a long time, Xia Zhixu finally came in.
"Sit over there." Xu Qichen said without raising his head.
Xia Zhixu didn't think much about it, and sat obediently on the white hospital bed next to him, with his long legs stretched out, his feet holding the basketball, and his eyes fixed on Xu Qichen.
When there were only the two of them left, he hid those dark sides again, and turned into a sun that shone toward him with all its heart.
Xu Qichen walked to the water dispenser, took a glass of water, then walked to Xia Zhixu's side and sat down, grabbed his arm, poured cold water onto his elbow, and washed his wound.Then I took an alcohol cotton ball and gently wiped the broken skin.
"Did you come here to help me treat my wound?" Xia Zhixu asked this sentence without thinking, and Xia Zhixu felt a little regretful, he shouldn't have been so hasty.
Xu Qichen didn't speak, and lowered his head to help him disinfect carefully, and then changed a cotton ball with some povidone iodine and wiped it.
He can't say that he saw him hit the rack when he was still being confessed.
Seeing that Xu Qichen didn't speak, Xia Zhixu was also a little embarrassed, so he had to change the subject, "You are amazing, as skilled as a doctor."
"When I was injured, I often cleaned myself up."
He finally answered, but what he said made Xia Zhixu feel even more distressed.The person in front of him coincided with the person who was covered in bruises when he first met.
Xu Qichen accepted him at the most difficult time and treated him as a friend.
But he had an unspeakable thought.
"Why are you avoiding me recently?" Xu Qichen asked.
"I do not have……"
"You have."
He always has such a firm tone.Xia Zhixu hesitated to speak, "Didn't you also come to see me?"
Xu Qichen's hands paused.He didn't look for him, just because he had never taken the initiative. Once he took the initiative, he, who is so unfamiliar, would definitely show his feet.
"So why didn't you come to see me?" Xu Qichen changed the topic again, and he raised his eyes to Xia Zhixu, "Didn't you say that I am your friend?"
The word friend seems to be his life gate.
"Yeah..." The wound hurt a little from the irritation, Xia Zhixu lowered his head, avoided Xu Qichen's sight, and withdrew his arm from his hand, and said in a muffled voice, "It's my fault, I'm in a bad state recently. It’s not right, and it won’t be like this in the future.”
It's better to treat him as before, and it's good to continue to be friends, at least I can see him every day, and I feel better.
However, you have to deceive him.
"Let's go." Xu Qichen stood up.
"You don't like that girl, do you?" Xia Zhixu asked from behind.
Xu Qichen shook his head.
Xia Zhixu rushed up with the basketball in his arms, and stammered probing, "Then what kind of girl do you like?"
"I don't like anyone."
"Oh……"
Finally it was the holiday, Chen Fang was taken abroad by his parents to travel, Xia Zhixu originally thought he could have a quieter holiday, but unexpectedly, Xia's mother enrolled him in a cram school for Mathematical Olympiads, which made him have no time to play. No, the funniest thing is the reason for her registration.
"Oh, the teacher in this cram school is my mother's good friend. When you take part in the Mathematical Olympiad next year and win the prize, she will use you to promote it. How good it is, you can do my mother a favor~"
Xia Zhixu just went to cram school with his bag on his back every day, and occasionally sent Xu Qichen a message to chat.
The various holiday arrangements planned before were ruined by various accidents.But he couldn't blame anyone, after all, the biggest accident was that he fell in love with his friend out of nowhere.
Coming out of the cram school, Xia Zhixu's phone rang, and when he took it out, it turned out to be Xia Xiqing. He hung up decisively, and the other party called again. There was no other way, so Xia Zhixu had to connect.
"Hey……"
"Little Zhixu~ Good afternoon, did any unhappy things happen during the holidays recently? Tell the little uncle to be happy?"
"If you have nothing serious to say, I'll hang up."
"Come on, we haven't seen each other for a few days, don't you miss me at all?"
"three two……"
The voice on the other end of the phone finally calmed down, "Today is the death day of Xu Qichen's parents, you must not forget it."
Xia Zhixu froze in place, the pedestrians on the road were so noisy that his mind went blank.
"Or...you don't know at all?"
Yes, he had no idea.He never asked, because he was afraid of bringing up Xu Qichen's sadness.
Xia Zhixu asked in a low voice: "You lied to me, right? How did you know?"
"I'm not like you. If I want to know something, I will definitely ask." Xia Xiqing on the other end of the phone was still sitting in front of the drawing board, holding the phone with his shoulder, "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, what should be said should not be said , I’ve already told you little uncle, you can figure out the rest, hang up.”
Xia Zhixu hung up the phone and looked at the busy street.
Was it on this day that he lost everything?
Xu Qichen, who had just returned from the cemetery, went upstairs alone. Before his aunt came home, he opened the refrigerator and took out two tomatoes.
Suddenly hearing someone calling his name outside the window, Xu Qichen walked to the window with some doubts and looked down.
He saw Xia Zhixu who was out of breath.
This idiot, why did he just come here without thinking about whether he was at home or not?
He thought of something and took out his cell phone.
Ah, no electricity.No wonder he ran over directly.
Xu Qichen put the tomatoes on the table, quickly changed his shoes and went downstairs.
"Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
Xia Zhixu grabbed Xu Qichen's wrist and couldn't help but drag him forward, walking out of the community until he reached the bus stop.
"Where are you going? I haven't greeted my aunt yet..."
Xia Zhixu took out his mobile phone and handed it to him, "Call me, I must be home before nine o'clock." After speaking, he dragged him onto a bus.After sitting side by side, Xia Zhixu took out two lollipops from his pocket and gave one to Xu Qichen. Xu Qichen took it with a smile, tore open the package and put it in his mouth.He didn't ask where Xia Zhixu was taking him, and Xia Zhixu didn't say anything, the two of them just sat quietly.
The bus route was longer than he thought.After sitting for an unknown amount of time, Xia Zhixu felt his shoulders sink, and looking sideways, Xu Qichen actually fell asleep.
When he fell asleep, his mouth would always be slightly opened, and the lollipop he was holding seemed to be about to fall out.Xia Zhixu reached out and gently took out the lollipop from his mouth.
The mellow candy pulled out ambiguous crystal threads, and also tugged at Xia Zhixu's heart.
Xu Qichen's head moved, so frightened that he thought he was awake, but Xu Qichen just rubbed his head, found a more comfortable position, and breathed steadily.
The perception of the whole body seems to be concentrated on these small shoulders, Xia Zhi Xu dare not move, his whole body is tense, for fear of waking him up.
And the bright lollipop in his hand is like the fruit that the snake lured Eve to eat in the Bible.
Very attractive.
Xu Qichen was finally woken up by Xia Zhixu.
When he got out of the car, he was still a little dazed, with the hot wind from the river hitting his face, only then did he realize that Xia Zhixu had brought him to the riverside.
"Bring you here to blow some air." Xia Zhixu originally wanted to tug his arm, but finally gave up. He handed the lollipop in his hand to Xu Qichen, "You fell asleep, so I took it out for you." Xu Qichen took the candy in a daze, hesitated for a while and put it in his mouth again, it was cool and sweet.
Xia Zhixu led him onto the bridge, "It's beautiful to watch the sunset here. My grandfather lived nearby, and he often took me for a walk when I was young." He put his hands on the railing beside the bridge, "He told me If you are unhappy, tell the Yangtze River, as soon as the river wind blows, they will all disperse."
The bridge is very long, spanning the entire Yangtze River. The warm red sunset is crushed and sprinkled on the river, sparkling and beautiful.Xu Qichen leaned his back against the railing of the bridge, and after a while he said in a deep voice, "Who told you?"
Xia Zhixu knew he was asking about the death date.
"Whoever you told, told me."
He said this as if he was blaming himself.Xu Qichen thought so.But he never asked, how could he say it easily, as if to win sympathy.
"Did you not sleep well last night? You fell asleep as soon as you got in the car."
Xu Qichen nodded, and the warm wind from the river whistled past his ears.He didn't sleep all night last night, as soon as he closed his eyes, he felt back to that day, with the sound of fragmented impacts in his ears, and bright red in his vision.
"Just treat me as air, I'm not here." Xia Zhixu smiled softly, "If you are unhappy, just tell the Yangtze River, the lighter ones will disperse when blown by the wind, and the heavier ones will be blown away by the wind. I will sink to the bottom of the river, and I will never bother you again."
As it was true, Xu Qichen turned around and leaned on the railing like him.
His voice was very soft, as if he would really be blown away by the wind.
"... How are you doing?"
"I miss you so much."
Xia Zhixu's heart twitched, he couldn't even say the words "Mom and Dad".
She felt that there was already a cry in his voice, but when she turned to look at him, he didn't cry, his lips were tightly pressed together, as if he couldn't say anything more.
Xia Zhixu couldn't help stretching out his hand, and gently stroked the back of his soft-looking head a few times.
"They miss you too."
"They want you to be happy every day."
Xu Qichen lowered his head and buried it in his arms. Xia Zhixu's palm was very warm, as if it had some kind of strange healing power, which made his painful and manic heart gradually calm down under the gentle touch.
He raised his head slightly, revealing a pair of eyes from the crook of his arms, looking at the sunset not far away, which was gradually sinking like his mind.
"If only my heart could be like a house. If I feel crowded, I will vacate some furniture. If I feel dirty, I will clean it and throw out the garbage. It only takes a little time to look new."
His voice was muffled, and he smiled softly, "But it's impossible, it's not a house, it's a rotten tree root inhabited by various germs, I can't get rid of the bad emotions that corrode me, I can only let it Let it rot a little bit."
"Then pull him out and let him dry in the sun."
Xu Qichen glanced at him, and the other party showed two canine teeth, and smiled sincerely and brilliantly.
Xia Zhixu withdrew his hand and leaned on the railing, "Actually, if the heart is really a small house..."
He hesitated to speak, Xu Qichen turned his face and looked at him suspiciously.
Xia Zhixu shook his head, "It's nothing."
If this is really the case.
I want to live in your little house and clean the house for you every day.
As for remuneration...
Just give me a smile every day.
The two of them stood on the sidewalk of the bridge for an unknown how long, the river wind blowing made their hearts swell, and the sugar in their mouths had already melted away.
Suddenly a couple walked past behind him. The boy seemed a little loose, and his tone was full of complaints.
"Why do you have to drag me here? This bridge is too long, and it's hard to walk."
The girl's voice was a little coquettish, "This is the first bridge across the Yangtze River in history. Haven't you heard the legend? If two people walk across the Yangtze River Bridge together, they can stay together forever and stay together forever. Together."
"Such words can also deceive little girls like you."
The two walked over noisily and dropped a so-called legend, which actually made Xia Zhixu and Xu Qichen feel uncomfortable.
"Let's go back the same way later." Xia Zhixu said awkwardly.
Xu Qichen was silent for a while, then looked up at the half way that he hadn't finished.
"It's all here, let's go." He added, "If it's a friend, this legend should also apply."
Do you want to be two friends who will never be separated for a lifetime?
The tiger teeth were grinding against the inner wall of the mouth, feeling vaguely uncomfortable.
"Maybe."
As they spoke, the two stood up straight and walked towards the other side of the bridge.
Xia Zhixu looked at the turbulent river under the bridge, and the opposite bank that was getting closer, "Speaking of which, I like that poem very much."
"A bridge flies from north to south, and the natural moat becomes a thoroughfare?"
"Ah."
"It's very imposing." Xu Qichen affirmed.
Xia Zhixu walked silently, but what he was thinking in his heart was not how imposing he was, whether it matched the scenery in front of him.
He was just thinking, would the insurmountable moat in his heart become a gateway one day?
Couldn't help but bowed his head and smiled.
"why are you laughing?"
"Oh, nothing."
It's good to have dreams.
After waking up from that beautiful dream, he sat on the bed sweating profusely and stared blankly for a long time.He couldn't believe that he was probably crazy to have such fantasies about his friends.
This is the biggest disaster he has encountered in 16 years.
Even when he went home, he tried to keep a certain distance from Xu Qichen, just to prevent him from discovering what was in his heart.
If Xu Qichen found out, would he feel disgusted?He is so simple, so gentle.
Thinking about such things too much, Xia Zhixu would even have nightmares at night.The content of the dream is nothing more than being discovered by others and being despised by everyone.But he doesn't care about other people's opinions, the only thing he cares about most is Xu Qichen.
If he knows, is he still willing to be friends with himself?
Certainly not.
"Hey, do you want to play basketball in this PE class?"
Chen Fang and Xia Zhixu went down the stairs side by side, Xia Zhixu hummed, "Let's fight."
"You're so weird recently," Chen Fang turned his head to look at his face, "What are you thinking about all day long? Sigh, you'll be on vacation in a few days."
Xia Zhixu shook his head, "I didn't think about anything."
The two walked to the playground, and Chen Fang saw a large group of girls, and then remembered, "Class 4 also has physical education class today."
The word "Class 4" was like a thorn in Xia Zhixu's heart.After struggling for a long time, he still couldn't help raising his eyes, looking around for the familiar figure.Finally, I found him in the 4th class that was gathering. The strong sunlight made his eyes squint, and his whole body was sunburned. He was so cute.
Xia Zhixu hastily withdrew his gaze.
Terrible.It's really terrible.

"I haven't been wandering around on the fifth floor recently, I miss you so much~"
Just hearing this voice, Xia Zhixu rolled his eyes to the sky, and was about to make a layup, when Xia Xiqing who came over suddenly blocked him.
"I said you've been so bad lately that even I can cover you up." Xia Xiqing smiled and threw the ball back into Xia Zhixu's arms.

Xia Zhixu didn't think much about it, and sat obediently on the white hospital bed next to him, with his long legs stretched out, his feet holding the basketball, and his eyes fixed on Xu Qichen.
When there were only the two of them left, he hid those dark sides again, and turned into a sun that shone toward him with all its heart.

"Did you come here to help me treat my wound?" Xia Zhixu asked this sentence without thinking, and Xia Zhixu felt a little regretful, he shouldn't have been so hasty.
Xu Qichen didn't speak, and lowered his head to help him disinfect carefully, and then changed a cotton ball with some povidone iodine and wiped it.
He can't say that he saw him hit the rack when he was still being confessed.
Seeing that Xu Qichen didn't speak, Xia Zhixu was also a little embarrassed, so he had to change the subject, "You are amazing, as skilled as a doctor."
"When I was injured, I often cleaned myself up."
He finally answered, but what he said made Xia Zhixu feel even more distressed.The person in front of him coincided with the person who was covered in bruises when he first met.
Xu Qichen accepted him at the most difficult time and treated him as a friend.
But he had an unspeakable thought.
"Why are you avoiding me recently?" Xu Qichen asked.
"I do not have……"
"You have."
He always has such a firm tone.Xia Zhixu hesitated to speak, "Didn't you also come to see me?"
Xu Qichen's hands paused.He didn't look for him, just because he had never taken the initiative. Once he took the initiative, he, who is so unfamiliar, would definitely show his feet.
"So why didn't you come to see me?" Xu Qichen changed the topic again, and he raised his eyes to Xia Zhixu, "Didn't you say that I am your friend?"
The word friend seems to be his life gate.
"Yeah..." The wound hurt a little from the irritation, Xia Zhixu lowered his head, avoided Xu Qichen's sight, and withdrew his arm from his hand, and said in a muffled voice, "It's my fault, I'm in a bad state recently. It’s not right, and it won’t be like this in the future.”
It's better to treat him as before, and it's good to continue to be friends, at least I can see him every day, and I feel better.
However, you have to deceive him.
"Let's go." Xu Qichen stood up.
"You don't like that girl, do you?" Xia Zhixu asked from behind.
Xu Qichen shook his head.
Xia Zhixu rushed up with the basketball in his arms, and stammered probing, "Then what kind of girl do you like?"
"I don't like anyone."
"Oh……"
Finally it was the holiday, Chen Fang was taken abroad by his parents to travel, Xia Zhixu originally thought he could have a quieter holiday, but unexpectedly, Xia's mother enrolled him in a cram school for Mathematical Olympiads, which made him have no time to play. No, the funniest thing is the reason for her registration.
"Oh, the teacher in this cram school is my mother's good friend. When you take part in the Mathematical Olympiad next year and win the prize, she will use you to promote it. How good it is, you can do my mother a favor~"
Xia Zhixu just went to cram school with his bag on his back every day, and occasionally sent Xu Qichen a message to chat.
The various holiday arrangements planned before were ruined by various accidents.But he couldn't blame anyone, after all, the biggest accident was that he fell in love with his friend out of nowhere.
Coming out of the cram school, Xia Zhixu's phone rang, and when he took it out, it turned out to be Xia Xiqing. He hung up decisively, and the other party called again. There was no other way, so Xia Zhixu had to connect.
"Hey……"
"Little Zhixu~ Good afternoon, did any unhappy things happen during the holidays recently? Tell the little uncle to be happy?"
"If you have nothing serious to say, I'll hang up."
"Come on, we haven't seen each other for a few days, don't you miss me at all?"
"three two……"
The voice on the other end of the phone finally calmed down, "Today is the death day of Xu Qichen's parents, you must not forget it."
Xia Zhixu froze in place, the pedestrians on the road were so noisy that his mind went blank.
"Or...you don't know at all?"
Yes, he had no idea.He never asked, because he was afraid of bringing up Xu Qichen's sadness.
Xia Zhixu asked in a low voice: "You lied to me, right? How did you know?"
"I'm not like you. If I want to know something, I will definitely ask." Xia Xiqing on the other end of the phone was still sitting in front of the drawing board, holding the phone with his shoulder, "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, what should be said should not be said , I’ve already told you little uncle, you can figure out the rest, hang up.”
Xia Zhixu hung up the phone and looked at the busy street.
Was it on this day that he lost everything?
Xu Qichen, who had just returned from the cemetery, went upstairs alone. Before his aunt came home, he opened the refrigerator and took out two tomatoes.
Suddenly hearing someone calling his name outside the window, Xu Qichen walked to the window with some doubts and looked down.
He saw Xia Zhixu who was out of breath.
This idiot, why did he just come here without thinking about whether he was at home or not?
He thought of something and took out his cell phone.
Ah, no electricity.No wonder he ran over directly.
Xu Qichen put the tomatoes on the table, quickly changed his shoes and went downstairs.
"Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
Xia Zhixu grabbed Xu Qichen's wrist and couldn't help but drag him forward, walking out of the community until he reached the bus stop.
"Where are you going? I haven't greeted my aunt yet..."
Xia Zhixu took out his mobile phone and handed it to him, "Call me, I must be home before nine o'clock." After speaking, he dragged him onto a bus.After sitting side by side, Xia Zhixu took out two lollipops from his pocket and gave one to Xu Qichen. Xu Qichen took it with a smile, tore open the package and put it in his mouth.He didn't ask where Xia Zhixu was taking him, and Xia Zhixu didn't say anything, the two of them just sat quietly.
The bus route was longer than he thought.After sitting for an unknown amount of time, Xia Zhixu felt his shoulders sink, and looking sideways, Xu Qichen actually fell asleep.
When he fell asleep, his mouth would always be slightly opened, and the lollipop he was holding seemed to be about to fall out.Xia Zhixu reached out and gently took out the lollipop from his mouth.
The mellow candy pulled out ambiguous crystal threads, and also tugged at Xia Zhixu's heart.
Xu Qichen's head moved, so frightened that he thought he was awake, but Xu Qichen just rubbed his head, found a more comfortable position, and breathed steadily.
The perception of the whole body seems to be concentrated on these small shoulders, Xia Zhi Xu dare not move, his whole body is tense, for fear of waking him up.
And the bright lollipop in his hand is like the fruit that the snake lured Eve to eat in the Bible.
Very attractive.
Xu Qichen was finally woken up by Xia Zhixu.
When he got out of the car, he was still a little dazed, with the hot wind from the river hitting his face, only then did he realize that Xia Zhixu had brought him to the riverside.
"Bring you here to blow some air." Xia Zhixu originally wanted to tug his arm, but finally gave up. He handed the lollipop in his hand to Xu Qichen, "You fell asleep, so I took it out for you." Xu Qichen took the candy in a daze, hesitated for a while and put it in his mouth again, it was cool and sweet.
Xia Zhixu led him onto the bridge, "It's beautiful to watch the sunset here. My grandfather lived nearby, and he often took me for a walk when I was young." He put his hands on the railing beside the bridge, "He told me If you are unhappy, tell the Yangtze River, as soon as the river wind blows, they will all disperse."
The bridge is very long, spanning the entire Yangtze River. The warm red sunset is crushed and sprinkled on the river, sparkling and beautiful.Xu Qichen leaned his back against the railing of the bridge, and after a while he said in a deep voice, "Who told you?"
Xia Zhixu knew he was asking about the death date.
"Whoever you told, told me."
He said this as if he was blaming himself.Xu Qichen thought so.But he never asked, how could he say it easily, as if to win sympathy.
"Did you not sleep well last night? You fell asleep as soon as you got in the car."
Xu Qichen nodded, and the warm wind from the river whistled past his ears.He didn't sleep all night last night, as soon as he closed his eyes, he felt back to that day, with the sound of fragmented impacts in his ears, and bright red in his vision.
"Just treat me as air, I'm not here." Xia Zhixu smiled softly, "If you are unhappy, just tell the Yangtze River, the lighter ones will disperse when blown by the wind, and the heavier ones will be blown away by the wind. I will sink to the bottom of the river, and I will never bother you again."
As it was true, Xu Qichen turned around and leaned on the railing like him.
His voice was very soft, as if he would really be blown away by the wind.
"... How are you doing?"
"I miss you so much."
Xia Zhixu's heart twitched, he couldn't even say the words "Mom and Dad".
She felt that there was already a cry in his voice, but when she turned to look at him, he didn't cry, his lips were tightly pressed together, as if he couldn't say anything more.
Xia Zhixu couldn't help stretching out his hand, and gently stroked the back of his soft-looking head a few times.
"They miss you too."
"They want you to be happy every day."
Xu Qichen lowered his head and buried it in his arms. Xia Zhixu's palm was very warm, as if it had some kind of strange healing power, which made his painful and manic heart gradually calm down under the gentle touch.
He raised his head slightly, revealing a pair of eyes from the crook of his arms, looking at the sunset not far away, which was gradually sinking like his mind.
"If only my heart could be like a house. If I feel crowded, I will vacate some furniture. If I feel dirty, I will clean it and throw out the garbage. It only takes a little time to look new."
His voice was muffled, and he smiled softly, "But it's impossible, it's not a house, it's a rotten tree root inhabited by various germs, I can't get rid of the bad emotions that corrode me, I can only let it Let it rot a little bit."
"Then pull him out and let him dry in the sun."
Xu Qichen glanced at him, and the other party showed two canine teeth, and smiled sincerely and brilliantly.
Xia Zhixu withdrew his hand and leaned on the railing, "Actually, if the heart is really a small house..."
He hesitated to speak, Xu Qichen turned his face and looked at him suspiciously.
Xia Zhixu shook his head, "It's nothing."
If this is really the case.
I want to live in your little house and clean the house for you every day.
As for remuneration...
Just give me a smile every day.
The two of them stood on the sidewalk of the bridge for an unknown how long, the river wind blowing made their hearts swell, and the sugar in their mouths had already melted away.
Suddenly a couple walked past behind him. The boy seemed a little loose, and his tone was full of complaints.
"Why do you have to drag me here? This bridge is too long, and it's hard to walk."
The girl's voice was a little coquettish, "This is the first bridge across the Yangtze River in history. Haven't you heard the legend? If two people walk across the Yangtze River Bridge together, they can stay together forever and stay together forever. Together."
"Such words can also deceive little girls like you."
The two walked over noisily and dropped a so-called legend, which actually made Xia Zhixu and Xu Qichen feel uncomfortable.
"Let's go back the same way later." Xia Zhixu said awkwardly.
Xu Qichen was silent for a while, then looked up at the half way that he hadn't finished.
"It's all here, let's go." He added, "If it's a friend, this legend should also apply."
Do you want to be two friends who will never be separated for a lifetime?
The tiger teeth were grinding against the inner wall of the mouth, feeling vaguely uncomfortable.
"Maybe."
As they spoke, the two stood up straight and walked towards the other side of the bridge.
Xia Zhixu looked at the turbulent river under the bridge, and the opposite bank that was getting closer, "Speaking of which, I like that poem very much."
"A bridge flies from north to south, and the natural moat becomes a thoroughfare?"
"Ah."
"It's very imposing." Xu Qichen affirmed.
Xia Zhixu walked silently, but what he was thinking in his heart was not how imposing he was, whether it matched the scenery in front of him.
He was just thinking, would the insurmountable moat in his heart become a gateway one day?
Couldn't help but bowed his head and smiled.
"why are you laughing?"
"Oh, nothing."
It's good to have dreams.
