Professor, your turtle!

"I'm tired," Chen Youqing retracted the photo, rubbing the space between her brows, "Go to bed too."

She was probably at a loss for words here, and Ji Fan lay on the small bed tossing and turning, having messy dreams all night, and crawled out of bed the next day with dark circles under his eyes.

He took out his cell phone from under the pillow and looked, sure enough, Chen Zhen didn't reply.

After school... let's go to his house to see the situation.

Just as Ji Fan made up his mind, a message from Xu Haifan popped up on the screen.

First there was one message, and after a while, messages flooded in, jingling endlessly.

This guy sent more than a dozen "crying" emojis in a row, and finally said angrily, "That Fu Mingyuan is a pervert! He called in the middle of the night to assign tasks, and I didn't finish them all last night, day!!!"

A series of exclamation points expressed his indignation.

——In the beginning, Professor Fu was the elder and Professor Fu was the shortest, but now he started calling him by his first name.

Ji Fan couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

"My mother asked Lao Xu for leave for me..." Xu Haifan's voice sounded weak, "Fanfan, go to school by yourself, don't wait for me."

"Ah."

Ji Fan thought about it, and still felt that he should comfort Fa Xiao, "It's okay, you can rest at home..."

"Have a rest! My mother asked me to finish my work at home?" Xu Haifan laughed angrily, "Am I her own? Am I?"

He began to imitate Aunt Haixia's tone vividly, "Tsk tsk, lazy bastard, after half a year of idleness, someone is finally willing to control you."

"..."

"What kind of control is this? It's abuse, do you understand? Abuse!" Xu Haifan yelled until the end, feeling a little hoarse.

Ji Fan wiped off his sweat, hesitated for a moment, and said euphemistically, "Do you still remember us fighting in the stairwell yesterday...Fu, Professor Fu is probably a little angry..."

"I knew it, that cheapskate!" Xu Haifan suddenly said, "Isn't it just a piece of broken paper? I said it was a misunderstanding, so what else do I want to do! Pooh, stingy man, no wonder he can't find a wife in his thirties -"

Ji Fan "..."

"What are you talking about? Dare to speak ill of the teacher behind his back, how courageous are you?"

Aunt Haixia's voice came from afar.

Xu Haifan hurriedly lowered his voice, and quickly said, "I'll slip away first!"

Being disturbed by him like this, Ji Fan's suppressed mood relaxed a lot, he put down his phone, washed up and tidied up.

The senior high school student was probably the first person to get up on the street. He closed the courtyard door, and the street was still shrouded in morning mist.The morning sun is trapped in the milky white mist, like a tempting salted egg yolk.

Ji Fan lowered his head, gnawed on the bread, and walked slowly towards the bus stop.

When passing by a family, he froze for a moment, then stopped suddenly.

It was a small courtyard with a single family, and many beautiful flowers were planted in it. Among them, three pots of the most delicate flowers were placed beside the railing, and a few green leaves shyly protruded from the gap between the iron gates.

Ji Fan looked up, and if he remembered correctly, the three potted flowers were originally placed on the balcony.

——And it's Sanpon who is very gossip and talkative.Every time he passed by on his way to school, he would be judged and discussed by them.

"Good morning." He whispered, squatted down, stretched out his fingers and gently touched the dewy leaves.

"..."

There was a dead silence around, the breeze blew by, the flower branches trembled slightly, and there was no other movement.

Ji Fan sighed. Since he was ejected from the system that day, not only the pet egg has failed, but all the magical abilities he had for a short time have also disappeared.

Life became ordinary again, as if everything in the past was just a dream.Except for one miracle - Mr. Fu found him.

While he was in a trance, a bold little cauliflower butterfly flew from nowhere, stopped at his fingertips, tremblingly closed its wings, and remained still.

"Aren't you afraid of people?" Ji Fan thought it was a little interesting, and nodded her fragile wings curiously.

The butterfly trembled timidly, but it miraculously did not fly away.

"Hey, are you on an order too?" Ji Fan looked at her with his chin in his hand, and muttered to himself, "Yeah, my friend also disappeared inexplicably. I'm really worried if he will..."

At this moment, the sound of cars rolling over the asphalt road was faintly heard in the distance. The butterfly seemed to be disturbed by this movement, flapping its wings and burrowing into the flowers, never to be seen again.

Tsk, really... Ji Fan stood up, thinking to himself, he was probably confused, what did he say out of nowhere?

He shook his head and walked quickly to the bus stop sign.

After walking a little further, Ji Fan was suddenly stunned, the morning mist gradually cleared, and he saw an unexpected person leaning against the platform.

The man was slender, with the cuffs of a light blue shirt rolled up to the elbows, revealing a delicate watch, with his hands in his pockets, and his head hanging leisurely leaning against the stop sign.

"Fu..." He rubbed his eyes, as if he had made a mistake.

Hearing the sound, the man turned his head, revealing an arrogant face that although handsome, seemed inhumane.

Seeing him, Fu Mingyuan's eyebrows softened a little, but he frowned immediately and beckoned him to go over.

"Is this for breakfast?"

"Ah...um. I forgot to cook porridge last night."

"Tsk." Fu Mingyuan curled his lips, and stretched out his hand behind his back, "I knew it, here."

Ji Fan looked down and saw a plastic bag containing a bag of milk, several meat and vegetarian buns, and a tea egg.

"I don't know how to cook, so I just bought some. You can do anything else. You must finish eating eggs and milk. Why are people so tall that they don't know how to take care of themselves?"

I said I bought something casually, but...

Ji Fan rolled his eyes and smiled, took Tie Rou and hugged him, "I'll finish eating."

He is familiar with this neighborhood, and the bun shop is at least two stops away.Not only did Fu Mingyuan buy it, but it was still warm, so it could be seen that he had been carefully hiding it in his arms.

Ji Fan couldn't help laughing when he thought of this guy walking all the way in a neat shirt and carefully carrying a bun.

Fu Mingyuan got a satisfactory answer, and his expression softened a little.

After a while, he glanced at Ji Fan, and said casually, "Is that kid surnamed Xu not with you today?"

Ji Fan was choking on his milk, almost choking, "...well, I'm asking for leave."

"Oh."

Fu Mingyuan was a little proud, and the corners of his lips curled up in a pleasant arc.

After Ji Fan finished drinking the milk, he couldn't help but said, "Why did you come here?"

"... passing by."

Ji Fan "..." This early in the morning, where exactly are you going to pass by his house? Hey!Even if you take a walk, you won't be able to disperse from the east to the west of the city, right?

Fu Mingyuan probably felt that his excuse was untenable, he paused, and then took out something from his trouser pocket, "I forgot to give it to you yesterday."

In his palm lay a small jar of ointment.

"How's the wound?"

"good."

"Remember to apply the medicine in time, and don't touch the water." Fu Mingyuan stuffed the ointment into his schoolbag, and stood up uncomfortably, "I'm here for you, I should go too."

"Aren't you going to school?"

Fu Mingyuan was exposed on the spot, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, "Go."

"Then you should take the car here?" Ji Fan looked up at him.

Fu Mingyuan "..." After a while, he squeezed out a sentence, "I walk and exercise."

Ji Fan opened his mouth, wanting to say something else, when the bus pulled into the stop, Fu Mingyuan pushed him onto the bus without saying a word.

The driver's aunt turned her head to look at Fu Mingyuan who was waving outside the car door, and said with a smile, "Oh, my brother came to see you off so early. You two brothers are really close."

"Ah..." Ji Fan came back to his senses, swiped his card, and smiled, "Thank you."

Life in the third year of high school is exactly the same every day. It is nothing more than exam papers and textbooks. Although it is boring, everyone has their own dreams, so they don't feel too hard.

The only accident was probably when Ji Fan ran into Zhao An when he went to the office to pick up his homework between classes.

Since she failed the competition last time, she seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and today she was even more embarrassed, with a cut on the corner of her lip and bloodshot eyes.

"Hey, have you heard that the dean's wife lost her temper and she was not allowed to stay at their house anymore, so it seems that she was taken back by her father recently."

"Tsk, it's so pitiful. Her dad came to school to make trouble last time. It was scary."

"No, it's not like I was beaten again..."

The hostility between adolescent children appears inexplicably and disappears inexplicably.Probably out of sympathy, everyone gradually forgot about the "cheating incident" last time, and started talking to her again.

But Zhao An's attitude was always cold, as if he didn't care.

The head teacher, Lao Xu, approached her privately to investigate the situation, asking whether her father had been abusing her for a long time, and whether school and street staff needed to intervene.

"As long as you clarify the situation yourself," Old Xu persuaded earnestly, "I'll call the comrades on the street. They will immediately isolate you and your dad, and they will take good care of you before you leave home for college. .”

The dean stood aside, didn't speak, just sighed.

But Zhao An refused to admit it at all, insisting that the wound was caused by himself.

She didn't take the initiative to ask for help, and no one else could help her, so Lao Xu had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, telling her to call him if he had something to do.

Zhao An absent-mindedly agreed, took the exercise book on the table casually, stuffed it into his schoolbag, opened the door and left.

The two met face to face in the corridor, and when she saw Ji Fan, she was stunned for a moment, without saying a word, she buried her head and wanted to walk away quickly.

Ji Fan hesitated for a moment, then said, "...Only you can save yourself."

Zhao An turned his head, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.This was the first time the two had spoken privately after the quarrel on the rooftop.

She opened her mouth, evoked a mocking smile, and said hoarsely, "Oh, what do you know?"

"I really don't understand," Ji Fan paused, "Many things, only you know why."

Zhao An clenched his teeth and remained silent.

"Are you punishing yourself by doing this?" Ji Fan smiled softly, "No one will care."

"you--"

"...except yourself, no one can be responsible for your future." Ji Fan clenched his trouser legs unconsciously, and said in a low voice, "You do this just to make someone feel guilty, but no matter what, you don't It will work."

Zhao An's face flushed red, his body swayed, and anger appeared in his eyes.

"If he really cares about you..." Ji Fan glanced at the traces of red potion that were faintly exposed on the cuff of her shirt, his eyes revealed a bit of pity, "How can someone who really cares about you hurt you?"

"What do you know..." Zhao An lowered his voice, but couldn't suppress the anger in his voice.

"Xiao An?"

Liu Ming's voice came from behind, interrupting the tense atmosphere between the two.

"Are you okay?" He walked forward quickly, pulled Zhao An past him, and looked at Ji Fan in surprise.

"...It's okay, just ignore him." Zhao An glared at Ji Fan, turned around and left with his boyfriend.

——How can someone who really loves you be willing to hurt you?

Ji Fan lowered his gaze and sighed silently, not knowing whether he was feeling sorry for Zhao An or himself.
