defenseless

The friendship of young people is always warm and violent.He can be called a brother after drinking, sleeping, and talking about women.Chen Nan is a very territorial person. Lu Xiao and Lu Xiangzhi impress him with their kindness, and what attracts him is the intimacy between father and son that he lacks and longs for. It is probably the same that can really put him in the safe zone of the protection circle. Sincere and straightforward communication.

After taking a shower and wearing Lu Xiao's clothes, Chen Nan consciously lay down in his room.

Lu Xiao took out his pajamas from the closet: "I'll sleep in my dad's room after taking a shower. You wake up early in the morning and look for something to eat in the refrigerator. I want to sleep in. Don't call me."

Chen Nan shook his head from the bed: "You don't want to sleep with me."

"Why should I squeeze with you if I have a spare room?" Lu Xiao closed the cabinet, "I want to sleep in a big bed."

"Your bed is not too small." Chen Nan was a little hurt, "You dislike me? I sleep quite honestly. Ma Weihao said that I would not turn over when I fell asleep with lightning and thunder."

"I'm used to sleeping alone," Lu Xiao smiled, "Could it be that you're afraid?"

Chen Nan snorted, and lay down again: "Forget it, kneel down, I feel more comfortable sleeping alone."

Chen Nan drank about seven or eight cans of beer today, and fell asleep not long after leaning against the pillow.

Lu Xiao took a shower in Lu Xiangzhi's room and lay down on the bed before calling Lu Xiangzhi.

Lu Xiangzhi quickly answered the phone.

"Dad, you haven't slept yet." Lu Xiao asked.

Lu Xiangzhi smiled: "Sing with the client before going back to the hotel."

Lu Xiao: "You must have been drinking, and a lot."

Lu Xiangzhi countered: "You must be smoking, and you have smoked a lot."

Lu Xiao: "Okay, drink less, pay attention to your body, when will you come back."

Lu Xiangzhi thought for a while: "We'll probably finish talking here on Wednesday and Thursday. What's the matter? Miss me?"

Lu Xiao: "I didn't think about it, Chen Nan came to the door after thinking about it."

"Very good, come to be your company," Lu Xiangzhi reminded, "Let him take you out for a walk. When I come back, I'll take you to a big meal. We haven't celebrated him yet when he wins."

It was almost twelve o'clock when Lu Xiao woke up.At night, I specially reminded Chen Nan not to disturb him to sleep in, but it turned out that he was worrying too much.Lu Xiao passed by his room and found that the door was open, and Chen Nan was still curled up on the bed, sleeping soundly.

He knocked the door lightly before going to the kitchen to prepare food.

Thinking that he didn't have breakfast, he cooked a pot of porridge.In the refrigerator was the braised pork ribs that Lu Xiangzhi made before he left. He peeled two potatoes and put them in it to cook.Just as he patted a cucumber and was serving cold salad, Chen Nan came out with a head of fried hair, his eyes narrowed into a slit, his neck stretched forward, and his nose opened and closed, like a large dog looking for food.

He walked over and reached out to grab the cold cucumber plate. Lu Xiaoyan quickly patted the back of his hand with chopsticks: "Go wash your face."

Chen Nan reluctantly went to the bathroom to wash up briefly.When he came out, Lu Xiao had already prepared the dishes and filled the rice, just waiting for him to pass with his mouth.

After waking up with no appetite, Lu Xiao put down his chopsticks after eating a small bowl of porridge, and Chen Nan swept away everything in the bowl, plate and pot.

After eating, I slumped on the chair and thought about life while touching my stomach.

Lu Xiao kicked him under the table: "Go wash the dishes."

After washing the dishes, Chen Nan was about to go back to the room and lie down for a while, when he saw Lu Xiao buried in his homework on the desk.There is an extra chair next to it, as if prepared for myself.

Hearing the footsteps behind, Lu Xiao didn't look back: "Bring your homework and write it."

Chen Nan threw herself on the bed and said, "I don't want to move, I only study at night."

Lu Xiao turned around and folded his legs: "I said what are you trying to do."

Chen Nan flattened her body: "Do you think I'm trying to create an illusion that I can get good grades without going to class? I don't have that much free time. In fact, I don't like to make trouble. If other students get into trouble, their parents will take care of it. I cause trouble." I have to carry it myself, so I have always followed the rules and abided by the law at school. My parents can’t go home a few times throughout the year, and they don’t necessarily see people when they come back. When they can see people, they always quarrel. During that battle, It’s time for the US election.”

"Once they stayed in City C for more than a month. They quarreled all night and all night. I couldn't sleep at all, and I didn't dare to sleep. Both of them had a bad temper. I was very afraid of the two of them fighting. People's movements. During that time, I dozed off every day, and felt dizzy when I heard the teacher's lecture. The result was a vicious circle, dizziness during the day, listening to the two of them quarreling while staying up late at night while studying by myself, and feeling sleepy again the next day, and the cycle repeated."

"Didn't you try to adjust it later?" Lu Xiao asked.

"I can't concentrate anymore," Chen Nan shook her head, "Plus, I'm alone at home most of the time, and I can't find anything to do at night. Reading books and doing quizzes is a good way to pass the time, and I didn't struggle too much. We need to change."

Chen Nan's tragic fate was sympathized by Lu Xiao for 2 minutes, but he ran to the living room to bring in the backpack, slowly took out the two test papers that Lao Li had given him, and started to do it.

Chen Nan thought very grandly. He was under the eaves, so he had to bow his head, eat and sleep, and accompany others to do two papers.

Hearing that Lu Xiangzhi didn't come back until Wednesday and Thursday, he volunteered to accompany the lonely left-behind boy to his father's return.

Of course, Lu Xiao didn't bother to expose who was with whom.

Chen Nan stayed at Lu Xiao's house for a weekend with peace of mind.

On Sunday night, she had to go to self-study. Chen Nan went back to Jinxi Garden at three o'clock in the afternoon to get a few sets of clothes for a change.He is much stronger than Lu Xiao, and he can wear sports clothes, but he can't wear school uniforms at all.

After returning home, he stuffed a few clothes into the bag, changed into his school uniform, and then Chen Nan went out.

This villa area is too far from the urban area, so it is not easy to take a taxi.Chen Nan waited at the door for a long time, and had no choice but to walk to the bus station not far away with her backpack.

There was no one at the bus stop, just a child in the school uniform of C Middle School, holding a schoolbag in his hand, sitting on a bench, dozing off against the stop sign next to him, with earphones plugged in his ears.

The bus to Central C only runs every half an hour. Chen Nan looked at his watch and saw that the next bus would be in 15 minutes, so he also sat down.He glanced sideways at the child next to him. The shirt on his body was a bit too big, and it was loose on his body. The light chestnut hair made his skin look particularly white, softly patting on his forehead, and the four or five o'clock sun It was also a bit sinister, and the skin under his eyelids was a little red from the sun.

Chen Nan took out her mobile phone and earphones from her bag, and while choosing songs to listen to, she sent a text message to Ma Weihao to ask him to meet him at the basketball court.

When the car came, the child was still asleep.

Chen Nan patted his face when he stood up: "Kid, don't sleep, the car is here."

The car was empty, just two passengers.Chen Nan walked to the last seat by the window and sat down before the kid got into the car, and his eyes collided with him after the coin was thrown.He glanced at Chen Nan, turned his head away, found a seat near the window and sat down.

Chen Nan opened the car window, and the warm wind poured into his shirt, and he fell asleep in a daze with his head raised.When the master yelled the terminus, he got out of the car in a panic.

Seeing the back of the light maroon head in front of the school gate, he froze for a while.

C middle school and high school are two campuses, he thought the kid was from junior high school, but he didn't expect that he had already attended high school.

In the classroom, before Lu Xiao came, Chen Nan stuffed all the homework papers for the weekend into Lu Xiao’s drawer, and then sent him a text message: I’m going to play ball, hand in my homework for me, and take my bag to the school gate at night wait.

In the evening, the gym trainees have to do physical training in the basketball hall, which is usually closed, but most of the members of the basketball team are gym trainees, so Chen Nan often hangs out with them at night.

Ma Weihao was warming up on the sidelines, seeing him coming, he ignored him.

"Okay." Chen Nan slapped him on the head, "Just let you go on the weekend, what a big deal."

"Get out." Ma Weihao gave him an elbow.

"What about your forehead?" Chen Nan turned his face away.

"A new coach came to the gym yesterday, and I fought with him." Ma Weihao touched the small cut on his forehead, "I accidentally bumped into it, a small injury."

Chen Nan and Ma Weihao started to learn free combat in a martial arts gym since junior high school, and it is common for students to compete with each other.

"So I was bullied." Chen Nan was happy, "Okay, Brother Zhou will take you to find a place this week."

"You two, don't get bored with this." A Fei was also enjoying watching, "Brother Nan, hurry up and change your clothes and come out to warm up. Today, the teacher allows you to move around freely, so you can play all over the place."

"Who are you fighting with today?" Chen Nan picked up the bag and asked.

"Those trainees in the first year of high school." Ah Fei looked at the door, "Why haven't they come yet? I'll call to remind them."

Chen Nan turned around and went to the locker room.

When I entered, I heard a thin man standing by the window talking on the phone with a bad tone.

"Get on the bus near the food street, you can't go wrong. You wait there."

"This kid owes it. With his sickly appearance, what kind of guy do you bring?"

After he hung up the phone and turned around, he found Chen Nan leaning against the door and looking at him with folded hands.

He nodded to Chen Nan and called out "Brother Nan."

Chen Nan smiled: "Tan Jie, you have been quite angry recently."

When going out after changing clothes, Chen Nan asked Ah Fei: "That kid Tan Jie called someone to fight just now, do you know that?"

"Just remembering the big mistake and not stopping it," Ah Fei frowned, "Don't worry about this kid's nonsense, he will only be afraid if he provokes a fire."

Chen Nan never cared much about these bad things.

But it's a coincidence.When school was over in the evening, Lu Xiao was a little hungry, so he and Chen Nan went to the food street to buy food.In a blink of an eye, I saw Tan Jie leading a few people to the side alley.

When he looked at the back of his somewhat familiar head, he squinted his eyes.

He stuffed the bag to Lu Xiao: "Wait for me here."

Before he got close, he heard Tan Jie's voice and a few muffled groans.

"A transfer student dares to be so arrogant."

Then there was another snort.

"Several brothers taught you the rules of life today."

"What are you doing?" Chen Nan shouted as he stood at the entrance of the alley.

The alley was a little dark.

A tall man walked over, wearing the school uniform of the middle school next door, with a fierce expression on his face: "Be smart, get out of here."

Chen Nan snorted coldly, put one hand around the opponent's chin, and lifted him up directly: "When will the people in our C class have to be taught by the students of the attached middle school."

The tall man's face was bloodshot in an instant, his feet were scratching in the air, and his hands scratched Chen Nan's arm desperately, leaving a few red marks.

Seeing this, the people behind quickly ran up. With the light of the street outside, Tan Jie saw Chen Nan's face clearly, and said quickly, "Brother Nan, it's my friend, it's all a misunderstanding."

Chen Nan put down the tall man. He staggered and couldn't stand still. Fortunately, the people behind followed him and coughed while covering his neck.A fat man in the middle school uniform from behind wanted to step forward, but Tan Jie reached out to stop him.

"Brother Nan, do you know that kid?" Tan Jie looked unhappy.

"My cousin," Chen Nan looked down at him, "Why, a child who is usually quite obedient can still bully you."

Tan Jie frowned: "Is it really your cousin?"

Chen Nan raised her eyebrows: "What? I can still lie to you."

Tan Jie was silent for a few seconds: "Brother Nan, he just turned around, I didn't know it was your relative. What I did wrong today, don't blame me."

The tall man and the fat man wanted to say something, but Tan Jie gave him a sharp look: "Let's go."

"Wait a minute," Chen Nan stretched her foot to block the way, "Since we have spoken today, if something happens to my cousin in the future, you understand the consequences."

After the group of people left, Chen Nan walked into the alley.

The kid I saw in the afternoon sat on the ground, staring up at him.The gloomy light at the end of the alley made his face pale. If it weren't for the look in his eyes, Chen Nan would have felt a little creepy.

Chen Nan knelt down and touched the corner of his bloody mouth: "Does it hurt? Why are you still hitting me?"

He glanced over and gently opened Chen Nan's hand.

"Heh," Chen Nan laughed, "That's how I treat you after saving you."

The other party said thank you inaudibly, put his hands on the ground, and wanted to stand up, but his legs flickered, and he almost knelt down. Chen Nan got up and hugged him.

"I can walk by myself." The person in his arms pushed him away, supported the wall, and limped forward.

"Still stubborn." Chen Nan smiled, strode up, leaned against the wall, and blocked the opponent's way.Against the light, I couldn't see the other person's expression clearly, only the pair of pupils were translucent and shining coldly.

Chen Nan bowed his head to meet his gaze.The opponent's height is less than his shoulders.He sighed softly, turned and squatted on the ground: "Come up."

There was no movement for a long time, Chen Nan cleared his throat: "I don't want to carry it, just hug it?"

"Get up," Chen Nan felt the person behind pat her on the back, "just help me."

The child barely reached Chen Nan's shoulders, and he insisted on walking by himself.In the end, Chen Nan had no choice but to hold her arms up like Li Lianying served Cixi, and let the other party's hands rest on them for support.

"How did you provoke Tan Jie?" Chen Nan asked.

"Is there a reason for a mad dog to bite someone?" The person next to him replied angrily.

"You have a big temper." Chen Nan thought it was a little funny, "You are a transfer student? From now on, you will walk home after school. There will be a teacher on duty there."

Lu Xiao had finished eating a box of potatoes, and was about to call to ask where Chen Nan had gone, when he saw Chen Nan and a limping child walking in front of him.

Lu Xiao hurried over, "What's the matter?"

"I was bitten by a dog." Chen Nan said.

"There's a clinic in front." Lu Xiao didn't have time to roll his eyes. He saw that the corner of the child's mouth was swollen, his body was covered with footprints, his trousers were torn, his knees were bruised and purple, and there were still blood stains on them. "Let's go and deal with it."

The child did not express any objection, and remained silent all the way.Let the two lead the way.

When I arrived at the clinic, the doctor cut open the trouser legs, sterilized the wound, and briefly bandaged the wound. After giving instructions, the two of them supported him and went to the main road.

"Collar." Chen Nan pointed to Lu Xiao's neck.

Lu Xiao touched his neck: "What."

"The collar is turned out." Chen Nan stretched out his hand to straighten it for him.

"By the way, kid, do you live in Jinxi Garden?" Chen Nan turned around and asked.

"Hmm." He nodded.

"What's your name?" Chen Nan asked again.

"Su Youyu."

"What? Crispy squid?" Chen Nan laughed.

"Okay, don't be poor, help him up."Lu Xiao stopped the taxi and opened the door.

"No need, I can do it myself." His tone was still a little cold and alienated, he hopped and moved on one foot, got into the car, then said a word in an inaudible voice, closed the car door, and left without a trace. go.

"Thank you."

Chen Nan smiled helplessly, she was really thin-skinned.

Suddenly, Lu Xiao poked his back with his fingers.

"Why poke me?" Chen Nan looked back at him

"Footprints," Lu Xiao motioned to his back, "Why did the hero get beaten for saving the beauty?"

Chen Nan looked doubtful, pulled his shirt and turned to look: "Fuck, he kicked my back!"
