in love with that couple

After eating at noon, Qi Xiangtian was dragged to the playground by Niu Li to play football, and told Liu Xiazhi to go home and go to the beach together in the afternoon.

After staring at the desk for a while, I saw Mrs. Wu, the head teacher, rushing in, almost colliding with some boys who were frolicking at the door.

"Liu Xiazhi, where is Qi Xiangtian? Where's his cell phone, why doesn't he answer the phone?"

Granny Wu patted Liu Xiazhi's shoulder anxiously, sweat slipping from her gray hair.

"Da Qi?"

Liu Xiazhi rubbed the saliva on his chin, "Let's go play football. It's not on the playground, it's on the basketball court."

He looked up at the mobile phone with a black screen on the table next door, and it was out of battery.

"Hurry up, go and call someone."

Mrs. Wu was at a loss what to do, "Something happened to his house, let him go home quickly."

Thinking of Qi Xiangtian mentioning his grandma's condition to him that day, Chi Xin groaned secretly.

"Xia Zhi, I'll go to the playground to find someone. You pack his schoolbag and wait for me at the school gate."

"What's the matter, late letter? Something happened to Daqi?"

Lu Yutian broke through from a group of girls and walked to Liu Xiazhi's side.

"It's okay, Xia Zhi and I are enough."

Chi Xin waved his hand, said, and ran towards the playground in two steps in three steps.

Liu Xiazhi was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head and packed Qi Xiangtian's schoolbag.

He has a feeling that something big is going to happen.

Wen Rui and Lu Yutian stood aside, watching worriedly.

On the playground here, Qi Xiangtian was dribbling the ball, getting entangled with everyone in the gym class, completely forgetting himself.Chi Xin yelled at the sidelines for a long time but didn't see him turning back, so he simply ran into the green field and flew towards Qi Xiangtian.

"Ashin, why are you here to kick?"

After Chi Xin broke the ball, Qi Xiangtian wiped off his sweat and put his hands on his knees.

"I'm exhausted. What time is it, class?"

"Last yarn, come with me."

Chi Xin threw Qi Xiangtian's sportswear on his head, "Something happened to your house, go back and have a look."

"problem occurs……"

Qi Xiangtian grabbed the crumpled sportswear with his big hands, and looked at the black patch lines on it.

"Grandma...something must have happened to grandma..."

In desperation, he pressed the sportswear on his forehead, and took two random steps in a futile manner.

"Stop talking, come with me!"

Seeing that he was completely lost, Chi Xin couldn't care less, took his arm and ran towards the school gate.

"How? Want me to go with you?"

At the school gate, Liu Xiazhi was waiting for them with his schoolbag on his back, Chi Xin's schoolbag in one hand, and Qi Xiangtian's in the other.

"I think something is wrong with him, you go to the street and call a taxi, we will go together."

Liu Xiazhi nodded and rushed to the road.

--------

The road was empty on weekdays, and the taxi was speeding towards Qi Xiangtian's home.

The three of them sat side by side in the back seat of the taxi. In the small space, only the sound of Qi Xiangtian's heavy panting could be heard.

"Hurry up, I said you should hurry up!"

Suddenly, Qi Xiangtian grabbed the back of the driver's back seat and let out his first roar since hearing the bad news.

"Little Chi, I'm going to fly to the sky soon...forget it."

The driver brother looked in the rearview mirror, two students pressed the arm of the male student sitting in the middle, clicked his tongue, and fell silent.

"Da Qi, it's okay...don't think too much, I'm here."

Liu Xiazhi hugged Qi Xiangtian's shoulders with both hands, and locked him firmly in his thin arms.

"Summer Solstice..."

Qi Xiangtian plunged his whole head into Liu Xiazhi's arms, looking from Chi Xin's direction, he could only see his trembling shoulders.His fingers gripped Liu Xiazhi's school uniform tightly, and the thin summer T-shirt was almost torn by him.

Liu Xiazhi rested his chin on Qi Xiangtian's head, and kept whispering his promise.

"I'm here."

"Summer Solstice..."

"I'm here."

They asked and answered in this way, without saying a second word.

Chi Xin looked at them, looked up at the glaring sunlight outside the car window, bent his index finger, and gently pinched the corners of his reddened eyes.

The three of them got out of the taxi almost rolling and crawling, and rushed towards Qi Xiangtian's home.

Qi Xiangtian's home was on the third floor, and as soon as he walked to the door of the building's unit, he heard bursts of heart-piercing cries from upstairs.

Chi Xin, who had been keeping calm all this time, couldn't help but slacken his steps at this moment, and the three of them almost fell to the ground at the same time.

"grandmother!"

Hearing the sad wailing that seemed to come from the bottom of his heart that belonged to his father upstairs, Qi Xiangtian couldn't hold it anymore, pushed away the Chi letter that was supporting him, and ran upstairs with big strides.

After Chi Xin and Liu Xiazhi picked up the schoolbags on the ground, paid the driver's fare and ran up to the third floor, as soon as they entered the door, they saw Qi Xiangtian's mother, Ms. Li Meijia, who was crying and almost fainted on the ground.

"The summer solstice is here...this is Da Qi's classmate."

While wiping her tears, Qi's mother took the schoolbag handed over by Chi Xin, "Thank you... Da Qi, Da Qi is inside, seeing his grandma for the last time."

"We'll just wait for him outside."

Liu Xiazhi took a step forward and held Qi's mother's shoulders, "Your condolences are in order."

Chi Xin stood beside the two of them, listening to the woman's constant weeping, but only a few wails from Qi's father could be heard from time to time in the room.

Da Qi actually didn't make a sound at all.

About half an hour later, the door opened, and a tall middle-aged man came out.Behind him was a pair of staring wide eyes, the entire eye sockets were filled with red blood, and his mouth was pursed into a stubborn and straight Qi Xiangtian.

"My classmate is here... Daqi, take your classmate to your room."

Father Qi nodded towards Chi Xin and Liu Xiazhi, and said to Li Meijia, "Have all the relatives been notified? And the funeral parlor..."

Li Meijia wiped away her tears, stood up and nodded, "Well, I'll be there in a while."

The two adults walked out.

"Summer solstice."

Walking to the door, Li Meijia suddenly turned her head, "Xia Zhi, help Auntie look after Daqi in a while. I... I'm afraid that silly boy will do stupid things again in a while."

Liu Xiazhi nodded obediently.

With red eyes, Chi Xin turned his head away.

The three of them walked into Qi Xiangtian's room and closed the door.

This is a room full of young men.

There are posters of NBA stars on the room, a few pictures of dumbbells in the corner, and a basketball hoop behind the door.In addition to comic books, there are rows of game discs and music CDs on the shelves.

Chi Xin glanced at the photo frame next to the bed, and the two boys were laughing head-on-heads heartlessly - needless to say, they must be Qi Xiangtian and Liu Xiazhi.

As soon as he entered the room, Qi Xiangtian sat on the edge of the bed, his big eyes almost fell out of his eyes, his resolute eyebrows trembled slightly, but he didn't say a word.

"Listen to you~ Mom said... I went into the room to call grandma when I was eating at noon, and found that the old man had already left."

Liu Xiazhi pulled a chair and sat beside Qi Xiangtian.

Qi Xiangtian didn't answer either, his right hand grabbed Liu Xiazhi's hand, and his left hand firmly pinched the wrinkled sportswear, as if he was grasping two life-saving straws.

Chi Xin just stood at the door, watching the two of them sitting facing each other, neither of them said a second word.

It's just that he could clearly see that Liu Xiazhi's hands were red from being pinched by Qi Xiangtian at the beginning, and then even turned blue and white after eating.And Liu Xiazhi stayed with Qi Xiangtian without saying a word, biting his lips tightly, letting the cold sweat run from his forehead to his chin.

"enough……"

Chi Xin really couldn't stand it anymore, Qi Xiangtian's mediocre hand strength didn't crush Liu Xiazhi's little paw.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard the sound of the door being opened, followed by the footsteps of a group of people.

"It's from the funeral home..."

He opened the door and took a look outside.

The next moment, Qi Xiangtian jumped up, pushed Chi Xin away and walked towards grandma~'s room.

"Qi Xiangtian!"

Chi Xin was afraid that he would do something stupid, so he wanted to follow immediately.

The arm was grabbed by Liu Xiazhi.

"nothing."

Liu Xiazhi frowned, and finally couldn't help but bark a few times, "Let Daqi go see his grandma..."

Before the words fell, a heart-piercing roar was heard outside the door.

"grandmother!!"

--------------

When other people's homes hold funerals, the two of them are always in other people's homes, and they can't hear it.

According to the local customs, the two stepped over the brazier downstairs in Qi Xiangtian's building, and left after getting rid of their frustration.

The two watched the "Funeral One-stop" people rush in and out of the car to unload the flower basket with the word "Dian" written on it, and walked slowly towards the school along the way they came.

"Ashin... have you ever lost a loved one?"

Liu Xiazhi asked softly while rubbing away the bruise on his right hand pinched by Qi Xiangtian with his left hand.

"No... right. My grandparents passed away when I was very young. As for my grandparents, I have never met them at all. Even if I attend the funeral by chance, they are relatives who cannot be reached."

Chi Xin put his hands in his pockets, lowered his head and said sullenly.

"When my father left, I was too young...no memory at all."

Chi Xin was taken aback, and it took a while to realize that he was talking about his adoptive father Liu Qingming.

"Usually my eldest brother is always out on missions. It was that time...about when I was five or six years old. At that time, my eldest brother stayed at home for an unprecedented month. It is said that my father was already very sick at that time. Later My father left, and my elder brother applied to be transferred from the army to take care of me."

Liu Xiazhi lowered his head, looking at his blackened hand that was caught.

"I was too young at that time, and I don't remember the grief of losing a loved one at all. Da Qi... must be very sad."

"Summer Solstice..."

The topic is too heavy, and Chi Xin can't find any vocabulary to comfort the person in front of him.

"Late letter."

"Ok?"

"Go back to school... Daqi probably won't come to class tomorrow. I have to help him take notes."

With that said, Liu Xiazhi turned around and walked quickly towards the school.

Looking at his thin and stubborn back, Chi Xin frowned slightly.

------------

When Qi Xiangtian reappeared on campus, it was already three days later.

After grandma's funeral was finished in the morning, he returned to the school he hadn't seen for a long time in the afternoon.

Walking into the classroom is the busiest lunch break time.

Another qualifying lottery was held yesterday, and Qi Xiangtian noticed it as soon as he entered the door.

When I walked into the classroom, I didn't see Liu Xiazhi, but I saw his schoolbag at a glance.

Without even thinking about it, Qi Xiangtian walked to the table next to Liu Xiazhi's, pulled out the original schoolbag from the stomach of the table, threw it on the table next to him, and sat down without saying a word.He took out his textbooks and pencil cases and placed them on the table randomly.

"Hey, Daqi is here."

Datou was sweeping the floor with a few students on duty, and he saw Qi Xiangtian at a glance.

"Hey, Daqi, why did you throw Chi Xin's schoolbag on my desk?"

The seat that Datou took this time was unfortunately in the row next to Liu Xiazhi, and what was lying on his desk at the moment was the schoolbag thrown out by Qi Xiangtian.

"Chi Xin sit here?"

Qi Xiangtian nodded his desk.

"No, it's been two days."

Datou nodded, "First in grade, second in grade... This combination is invincible. Let ordinary people like us live. You don't even know that with the two of them around, those teachers can't see us at all ..."

The big head still wanted to continue, and then turned his head to see Qi Xiangtian's expression was worried, and he closed his mouth wisely.

"Da Qi, are you here?"

At the door of the classroom, Liu Xiazhi, who was holding a large stack of examination papers, greeted him happily.

Here Qi Xiangtian was about to stand up and help Liu Xiazhi take the exam paper.I saw a pair of hands stretched out from Liu Xiazhi's side, quickly took the examination paper, turned around and put it on the podium.

"Finally back."

Putting down the exam paper, Chi Xin raised his head and smiled.

The corner of Qi Xiangtian's mouth froze, and then he pulled out a smile that could not be called sincere.

"Um……"

The author has something to say:

I work overtime every day until 11 o'clock in the middle of the night...I hope I can relax for a while before the Spring Festival, otherwise I won't have time to code
