Have you ever heard of imprinting?

Some hatchlings and newborn mammals learn to recognize and follow the first moving object it sees, usually their mother, in a behavior known as imprinting.

He Zhi raised two ducklings when he was a child, but they disappeared. A certain uncle delivered a cup of old duck soup to his door with a smile after a week.

From then on, He Zhi never raised small animals again.

But now, He Zhi felt that he had picked up another duckling.

The stuttering one.

Imprinting generally occurs just after hatching or after birth.For example, if a newly hatched duckling does not have a mother duck, it will follow people or other action targets.

Xiao Jieba followed behind him and had already walked three streets.

The moonlight was so bright tonight, He Zhi changed the wall again.

The spray paint in my hand can no longer shake a little bit of color, but I'm almost finished painting the last bit.He Zhi was distracted by thinking about how the little stutter in the corner had disappeared, so he raised his hand and threw the last can of spray paint into the harmful trash can.

At this late hour, all stationery stores should be closed, but Xu Peck found a can of scarlet spray paint from nowhere, and returned to He Zhi in time after he finished throwing away the trash.

But He Zhi looked at him, but didn't take it.

"What have you been following me for?"

Xu Peck lowered his eyelids, as if he had already prepared the answer on the way.

"I don't know your name yet."

Seeing that he can't lift it on his shoulders, he must be very tired after holding it for a long time.

He Zhi took the spray paint and continued on the wall, then said casually, "They all call me Brother Zhi."

This he already knew.

Xu Peck turned his back, and added in a serious manner: "I mean the big name..."

The spray paint was hidden behind him, and He Zhi suddenly turned around and approached the young man, with a half-smile, "Shouldn't you announce your family name before asking someone's name, classmate Xu Peck."

"..."

Xu Peck blinked expressionlessly, he didn't know if he was frightened, or there was really no disturbance in his heart.

"He Zhi."

It seemed that he was still frightened, and Xiao stammered for a moment without realizing what he was saying.

He Zhi looked at him, his lips softened a little.

"Name, He Zhi."

The little stuttering eyes widened slightly by a millimeter.

He is not afraid of being chased and killed, but he is frightened by his name?

Brother Zhi tilted his head and clicked his tongue.

But he seemed to have misunderstood Xiao stuttered.

Xu Peck stared at the can of spray paint protruding from the corner of his waist, as if in a daze: "Your name is exactly the same as the former Chief Assistant."

He Zhi blinked: "Huh?"

Too stupid.

Xu Peck simply didn't look like he was stuttering: "It's nothing."

"..."

He Zhi frowned.

"What is Shoufu? The richest man's brother?"

He has question marks in his eyes.

Blind students, they have touched the area of ​​knowledge.

"..."

It was so quiet around, he was looking at him, waiting for an answer.

Xu Peck pursed his lips, and suddenly laughed.

It's amazing, it turns out that Hei Putao can also turn into a crescent moon when he smiles, and his calm eyes suddenly burst into a pool of starlight.

But he just smiled and stopped.

He got carried away.

Sure enough, He Zhi squinted his eyes and approached him, raised his palm, as if he still wanted to beat him.

Xu Peck closed his eyes obediently.

But the man just tapped the dimple on his cheek that he didn't have time to hide.

Poking with the same force as a willow bud.

"you laughed."

He Zhi was very curious.

"Why didn't you smile at me before, I scared you?"

I wasn't scared just now, but now I'm scared.

Xu Peck opened his eyes, the dimples were gone.

The little gangster squinted his eyes in dissatisfaction, but as if thinking of something, the pair of slender phoenix eyes under the thick eyelashes drooped down.

He half-smiles, maybe mixed with a sigh.

"Little stutter."

Xu Peck did not lie. When he was young, he did stutter.

Specifically, in the year when Xu Ji'an took him back from the orphanage, he suddenly started to stutter.

I stuttered until I was in elementary school, and one day it got better for no reason.

To be more specific, the moment Xu Peck pushed the little bastard who scolded him every day for stuttering and imitated him into the sink to rinse his mouth, he suddenly stopped stuttering.

It may have been some kind of post-traumatic stress disorder, but exactly what trauma he suffered and how he healed the disorder is a mystery.After all, he seems to only create obstacles for others.

Xu Peck drooped his eyelids and recalled the eventful past, but He Zhi looked at him, and suddenly put the back of his hand on his forehead.

The skin on the top of the eyebrows was warm and unfamiliar, and Xu Peck closed his eyes the moment he approached.

I wanted to retreat, but I tried my best to hold back.

He Zhi withdrew his hand and put it on his forehead to test the temperature.

"It seems to have a fever." He muttered to himself.

who has a fever.

The forehead that was suddenly released by the hand hit the evening wind, it seemed a little cold, and the eyelids were a little hot, Xu Peck raised his fingers to rub the eyelids in a daze, his clear voice softened into a puddle of melted cotton candy.

"I, I don't have a fever."

These words are so unconvincing that even Xu Peck himself finds them unconvincing.He knelt down, annoyed at his uncontrollable weakness.

He Zhi squatted in front of him, propped his chin, tilted his head, and smiled.

"It turned out to be a little stammer."

Xu Peck even raised his eyelids and glared at him.

He Zhi approached enthusiastically: "You can stare at me again, it's really fun."

Xu Peck stared straight from the side of his ears, his black eyes seemed to be gradually fogged up.

The smile on He Zhi's lips gradually faded away, but at the moment when he thought he was going to drop Jin Doudou, Xiao Jie lowered his head and buried his face in the crook of his knees.

Probably not crying, who breathes so evenly and slowly when crying.

But Xu Peck is a stutterer, maybe when we stutter and cry, the breathing rhythm is different from others.

He Zhi moved closer, almost calling him out of breath.

"Small stutter."

Little stuttered, probably fainted from crying.

He Zhi thought for a while, then raised his hand and lightly placed two centimeters on top of Xu Peck's head. While he was still thinking about whether to pat him on the head to coax him, Xu Peck suddenly raised his head and let out a soft hair. Si directly touched the palm above her head.

But before He Zhi got used to the touch of his subordinates, Xiao stammered back as before.

But this time Xu Peck rested his chin on his knees, his eyelids drooped sleepily, but he never cried.

He said aggrievedly: "I'm sleepy."

"..."

He Zhi withdrew his palm and shook it, with smiles in his eyes.

On the second day of their acquaintance, He Zhi took Xu Peck home again.

Lin Xiaobai went back to his own home today, not upstairs, otherwise he would have screamed, grabbed He Zhi's collar and howled. Come to Qingnan Road for the first time.

And it was because He Zhi didn't want to go to elementary school, so he took Lin Xiaobai to skip class on the first day.

It's a pity that He Zhi himself didn't have any idea whether he was fascinated by Xiao Jieba, not only that, he was still thinking in the bathroom, or else he could just buy a set of toiletries for Xiao Jieba and put it here. The frequency with which people are kicked out of the school might really come in handy!

"I just said why you are so weird tonight."

According to yesterday's performance, Xu Peck should have jumped off the wall and turned away at the moment he was talking nonsense.

He Zhi wrung out the towel and wiped his face on the little stutter on the bed.

The sick little stutterer is really obedient, and he doesn't get angry when he is rubbed with a towel. He just blinks his big round eyes and looks at the other person without blinking, as if he wants to make the other person feel ashamed with his gaze.

But He Zhi didn't hesitate to re-wet the towel in the basin beside the bed and wring it dry, then turned around and put it on his stuttering forehead.

He still wanted to continue to get po, but Xu Peck suddenly lowered his eyelids and said to him, "I'm sorry."

He Zhi swallowed back the prepared "you're welcome".

He was a little surprised: "I'm sorry for what?"

Xu Peck never owes favors to others.

Probably because he didn't know how to reciprocate.

Besides Guan Guan, no one has ever really stretched out his hand when he needed it, and said to him, "Don't be afraid, I'll follow you."

there has never been.

Xu Peck seemed embarrassed. He grabbed the corner of the quilt and slowly moved it up to cover the lower half of his face.

As if in slow motion, He Zhi endured the pain with a smile.

"You saved me, Qin Zheng won't let you go."

Who is Qin Zheng?

He Zhi sat on the fluffy carpet, leaning on half of his face, and couldn't help poking his little stuttering long eyelashes.

"How did I save you? Didn't you follow me all the way back?"

It seems so right.

Xu Peck was stunned for a while, then turned his head abruptly.He Zhi almost poked his eyes, and hastily withdrew his hand.

"Then, I'm sorry."

He Zhi was almost tired of laughing: "So what are you sorry for?"

Xu Peck covered himself with a quilt, and his voice was muffled.

"I ran after you, Qin Zheng will not let you go."

So nice.

He Zhi raised his hand and covered his eyes.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid."

When you can't see, your hearing is especially keen.His tone was so steady, and his ears were full of calmness that belonged to He Zhi alone, even a little frivolous, but it actually made Xu Peck completely at ease.

He closed his eyes and tried to sleep.

The palm was rubbed by the stuttering eyelashes, as if hiding a little butterfly, it was a little itchy.

He Zhi withdrew his hand and changed the towel on his forehead for him.

Xu Peck opened his eyes again.

"Lin Xiaobai said, this is your room."

Little stuttered like a little robot, He Zhi couldn't help but want to tease him to say a few more words.

"Yes, is there a problem?"

Xu Peck suddenly wrapped himself in the quilt and rolled himself in a circle until he rolled into the corner of the bed next to the wall.

He Zhi's hand stopped in the air.

What, do you despise him?

The little robot poked out a pair of round black eyes from the corner of the quilt.

"Then you go to bed too."

He also stretched out a hand and patted the large open space he gave up on one side.

"..."

Me, fuck.

He Zhi buried his face in the crook of his elbow.

Little stutterer feels as if he is possessed by something.

He raised his head, Xu Peck was still looking at him.

He Zhi stretched out his hand, pulled up the quilt and covered his eyes, and after a while he was afraid that he would not be able to breathe and put it down, then immediately met Xu Peck's clear eyes.

Pull it up, put it down.

Pull it up, put it down.

Pull it up, put it down.

Xu Peck suddenly rolled his eyes and laughed.

He Zhi stopped playing, and looked at him with his chin propped up, with a smile in his eyes.

"Little stammer, will you break the piece tomorrow?"

It's better to break it up, otherwise when Xiao Jieba remembered all his actions tonight, he ran to hit the wall in shame and anger, what should he do?

Xu Peck didn't seem to understand what he was saying, and blinked his eyes, as if he was a little confused why he didn't play with him anymore.

He Zhi supported the corner of the bed and stood up, leaning over to get close to the warm little robot.

"You have a fever, little stammer."

Xu Peck nodded under the blanket.

Now he admitted it.

He Zhi helped him change the wet towel again, then sat on the corner of the bed, lying directly on the other side of Xu Peck.

Xiao Jieba invited him to sleep together, but he wrapped up all the quilts by himself, like a silkworm baby.

He Zhi was a little worried that he would get burnt out, so he turned his body sideways and looked at the pair of black grapes for a while, then said softly, "Hey, give me the thermometer."

Xu Peck nodded obediently, but he wrapped himself too tightly and turned around for a long time before taking the thermometer out of his armpit.

He Zhi looked at the mercury scale against the moonlight, it was 38 degrees 2, he stuttered and took the medicine, and his temperature really started to drop.

People are vulnerable when they are sick.

It seems that He Jin said this, the reason is that the mother and son went to check on Lin Xiaobai, a boy with chicken pox.At that time, that dog thing was just hanging around in the living room of his house, opening his mouth when he was eating, stretching out his hand when he was wearing clothes, so crazy that he dared to ask brother Zhi to pour him a glass of sugar water.

Compared with him, little stutterer is too cute.

The moonlight is beautiful tonight, and the skylight casts light and dust flying across the room, He Zhi rests his arms on his pillow and is lost in thought.

He was used to sleeping at night and sleeping at night, and his work and rest schedules were reversed, so he wasn't sleepy at all, not to mention that there was a big living person sleeping next to him.

Even Lin Xiaobai never slept in the same bed with him.

I don't know if the little stammer with his back turned to him fell asleep.

He Zhi was so bored, he was talking to himself.

"Little stutterer, I'll return the 200 yuan to you, if you want to give it more, brother Zhi is very expensive for a night."

"Little stammer, why are you being bullied every day? It's so pitiful. Next time, please be nice and brother Zhi will come to save you."

"Little stammer, I'm hungry, are you hungry?"

"Small stutter."

He paused and said, "Why don't you look directly at each other when you talk."

The room was very silent, not even the sound of breathing at the moment.

He Zhi twitched the corners of his mouth, boasting: "Am I very good?"

"After all, he was admitted to your school based on his strength."

"..."

Xu pecked off the quilt.

He seemed to be stunned, and after a while, he blinked and let out a soft "Huh?"
