waste

Fearing that Shuyuan would catch a cold, Li Xu turned up the heating temperature before going to bed, and the exhausted person curled up in the bed to sleep comfortably, but Li Xu was woken up twice by the heat in the middle of the night.

He simply got up, put on his clothes and opened the door, stepped on the sound-absorbing carpet and walked towards the stairs along the dark corridor.

The lights above the stairs were sensor-designed, and the sensor lights above his head turned on almost as soon as he stepped down the first step.

Li Jue, who was also stepping up the steps at the bottom of the building, collided with Li Xu upstairs. Fortunately, Li Xu was not frightened by him because he had a strong heart.

Li Jue held two packs of snacks and a can of beer in his arms. He must have stayed up late playing games and became hungry to steal food.Li Xu adopted an indifferent attitude, went downstairs and passed him without looking sideways, and went straight into the kitchen to pour water.

When he came out again, Li Jue hadn't returned to the bedroom, and was sitting on the sofa in a daze, with the unopened snacks in his hand.

The ceramic cup and the glass coffee table made a crisp sound, the living room was not turned on, and the sensor lights on the stairs were automatically turned off, leaving only the dim moonlight coming in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, reflecting on the unclear faces of the two.

"What do you want from me?" Li Xu asked, his voice soaked in cold water was cool at night.

Li Jue nodded, and soon realized that his brother might not be able to see his movements, so he answered, "Yes."

"It's rare for you to be civilized once." Li Xu sat down, but kept half a meter away from Li Jue, "Let's talk."

"I want to transfer schools." Li Jue said.

He spoke without confidence, and in order to avoid the atmosphere of silence, he opened the snack bag and threw cornflakes into his mouth.But obviously this method did not alleviate much embarrassment, but increased his anxiety.

It took a long time for Li Xu to respond to his words: "You have to find your father, I don't have the right."

"Father won't agree," Li Jue said anxiously, "He managed to get me in..."

"Then I can't help it." Li Xu took the cup away, turned around and went into the kitchen again, filled a whole cup of warm water and went upstairs, not noticing Li Jue's pale face sunk in the darkness.

This year has passed quietly, and the wet early spring is approaching, bringing Li Xu and Shu Yuan the last semester in Qinghe Middle School.

The second semester of the third year of senior high school will not be too long. The school starts at the end of February and the college entrance examination at the beginning of June. Excluding the continuous training before the exam, there are only three months of review time left.

Before school started, Gu Xiang called Li Xu and asked him if he had considered which university to go to.Li Xu also answered clearly that A University in other provinces, a well-known foreign language university, is not too far from Jinjin City, and it is convenient to come and go.

Gu Qu sighed and asked, "You really don't plan to come to C University?"

"I made an appointment with Shu Yuan not long ago to take the A University exam together," Li Xu couldn't help laughing, "I never thought about which way I would develop in the future, but as long as he is around, learning anything is interesting. "

This idea sounds absurd, but compared to Li Xu, who used to be idle and ignorant, it is already a great improvement.

"Then what should we do if we are addicted," Gu Qu asked, "It just broke up like this?"

"What are you going to do? Aren't everyone here? It's just that we can't perform together for the time being." Li Xu tapped on the bass hanging on the bedroom wall. .”

People always expect the future to develop in the direction they planned, and they never expect that accidents will become uninvited guests.

The students in the third grade were suspended from most of their sports activities. Except for running exercises between classes, the physical education class and the last free activity every Wednesday afternoon were changed to self-study, and then they were used by teachers of various subjects as commentary classes or tests. class.

No one dared to say the word "tired" during the tense test preparation stage, as if saying it would let others see your laxity first.

Li Xu has never been so tired from a group fight. Whenever he listened to the birds chirping outside the window to wake up the drowsiness in his consciousness, he turned his head and saw Shu Yuan listening to the class and taking notes, miraculously regained his energy .

He felt that this state was very worthwhile. In his young high school days, no matter how hard and tired he was, someone would accompany him, turning over the pages of the book together, and falling asleep under the moon and stars together. Day after day passed like this.

Summer in the south comes early, which means that June is getting closer.

The teaching building of the third year of senior high school is far from being as active as the first and second year of senior high school. Everyone has settled down to check for gaps and fill in the gaps, and make effective use of the limited time to prevent being surpassed by even one point.

Compared with the other two grades, the way of self-study or evening study in the third year of senior high school is much more free. The school never restricts students to standing or sitting. In the classroom or outside the classroom, as long as they do not leave the teaching area, students can do whatever they want. Schedule your own review.

Li Xu is different from Shu Yuan. Shu Yuan can memorize the content by watching the review materials silently.

In order not to make a fuss, Li Xu took his textbooks and notes and sat in the corridor outside to review, turning his pen and looking at the opposite laboratory building, chanting words.

In fact, he was not the type of person who was easily distracted, but a figure who suddenly turned from the stairway in the middle of the second floor opposite caught his attention.

There were a lot of thin boys in school uniforms in Qinghe Middle School, but Li Xu recognized the running figure as his poor brother at a glance.

Li Jue ran very fast, rushing from the second floor to the third floor, chasing after two or three tall boys.Li Xu didn't see their appearance clearly, but felt that their chasing and fighting were not quite right.

This is still class time, and Li Jue's PE class is not this time.

Li Xu didn't even memorize the book, stood up to observe their movements, and they ran up to the fifth floor. Li Jue was five or six meters away from the boys behind him. Although the distance was not far, he seemed to have run out of energy. He glanced helplessly at the senior three teaching building.

They disappeared at the stairs on the right side of the laboratory building, and soon Li Xu heard disorganized footsteps in the corridor between the two buildings. Even though he was on the second floor, the footsteps came from the fifth floor, but because of the teaching building Quiet, especially the sound of footsteps.

"Crack", Li Xu threw the review materials in his hand on the window sill, ran towards the stairs and ran up the stairs.

On the third floor, Li Xu and Li Jue bumped into each other, Li Jue threw himself on top of him, looked up to see him, was startled at first, then heaved a sigh of relief, pulled his arm and begged: "Brother, help me. "

"What's the matter?" He had just finished asking, and the rest of the men chased him down. The men who were originally fierce were stunned when they saw Li Xu standing on the stairs. ran away.

Li Jue also wanted to slip away, but Li Xu grabbed him by the collar: "Use me as a shield, you have to explain things clearly, right?"

"Boom—" Shu Yuan slammed his forehead on the notebook, and he opened his sleepy eyes, wondering when he fell asleep.

The wall clock on the wall indicated that get out of class was about to end, Shu Yuan rubbed his forehead, turned his head and saw the stack of review materials on the window sill, poked his head out to see, Li Xu was not outside the corridor.

It wasn't until the bell rang for the end of get out of class that Li Xu passed the window and walked into the classroom. He sat on the chair, unscrewed the lid of the cup and took several sips of water.

"What's wrong with your forehead?" Li Xu pushed Shu Yuan's bangs aside, "Why is it red?"

"It hit the table." Shu Yuan explained shyly.

Li Xu grinned and rubbed him with his fingertips: "Did anyone notice you sleeping?"

Shu Yuan grabbed Li Xu's hand, and the more the other party rubbed him, the more sleepy he became: "No, everyone is concentrating on reviewing."

"You missed the show." Li Xu took the review materials handed over by the other party, "Li Jue was bullied, and he chased him all the way from the senior one teaching building to here."

Shu Yuan thought that Li Xu was making up a joke to tease him, who in this school would dare to provoke Li Jue except Li Xu, wouldn't everyone praise him as a god?

Seeing Shu Yuan's expression of disbelief, Li Xu didn't go into details, picked up the water glass and stood up: "Will you take water?"

"Help me." Shu Yuan smiled, and put his water glass into Li Xu's hand.

There was no one in front of the drinking fountain, Li Xu finished drinking the water and leaned on the corridor guardrail, staring at the playground and thinking about things for a while, digging out from memory one by one the excessive things that Li Jue had done since childhood.

Take away the remote control car that Li Wenxuan brought back from abroad.

Draw a turtle on his acoustic guitar with watercolor pens.

Take a thumbtack and poke holes in the tires of his street bike.

While he was not at home, he drove the biscuit to the gate of Yuege Mountain Villa. Fortunately, the biscuit knew the way home.

Without any effort at all, Li Xu dug out a lot of bad memories. He counted them carefully, as if the more he remembered, the less guilty he felt about what he just said to Li Jue.

Probably wanting to use him as a "model", Li Jue occasionally skipped classes and caused troubles everywhere. Last semester, he took someone to hide in the bathroom of the laboratory building to smoke, and the dean found out that he immediately called his parents.

What Li Jue didn't expect was that Li Wenxuan's attitude towards him was much stricter than that of Li Xu. He took him home to criticize education, deducted pocket money, and asked him to stand in front of the school leaders to reflect and reflect.

Li Jue's self-righteousness made him isolated among the boys in his grade, and the boys from other classes whom he had ridiculed before even conspired to take revenge on him.

When Li Jue described these things to Li Xu, Li Xu kept a calm expression. When Li Jue asked him "Can you help me", he asked back: "What do you think I can help you? Why should I help you?"

"Don't put on a face that has nothing to do with you," Li Jue clenched his fists, "You are also responsible for what happened to me!"

Li Xu couldn't figure out how the girls at school would give his brother such compliments as "gentle", "kind" and "obedient". He felt that Li Jue was stupid and conceited, and had completely inherited Yao Yilei's unique genes.

"Do you think I hit you in front of everyone, humiliated you, and made you lose your arrogance?" Li Xu smiled, "Then did you think about the consequences before you caused me trouble?"

"I--"

"Don't try to shift the responsibility to me. Even if we are related by blood, it won't stop me from hating you as a younger brother," Li Xu said bluntly, "I will leave this school in a few months. Are you dead or alive? It has nothing to do with me, now or in the future, even if something embarrassing happens to you, it is your fault."

He had never seen such a desperate expression on Li Jue's face, it was very similar to the moment when he watched Yao Yilei leave Li's house.

Li Xu made up his mind, he can stand up for all the innocent people who are being bullied, but Li Jue can't, Li Jue is the product of the murderer who killed him.

"Li Jue, don't rely on me."
