Transfer Students

Pei Yu's mobile phone for the elderly is not only outdated in technical functions, but even the fuselage is broken. The letters and numbers on the buttons are severely worn. Lu Shaohang went down two floors, and with the help of the faint street lights, he could barely see where 1 and 0 are. .

However, there is one thing worthy of praise, that is, it is strong and can not be dropped.

After calling the police, he returned the phone to Pei Yu, but Pei Yu didn't answer it, just sat on the steps, staring at him with deep eyes.

"what happened?"

Being stared at like this, as if his thoughts could be easily pierced at a glance, Lu Shaohang felt inexplicably nervous.

He was running his mind quickly, trying to say something to break the unbearable silence, when he heard Pei Yu ask hoarsely, "Why help me?"

"..." Lu Shaohang was at a loss for words for a moment.

yeah, why help?

There was still a shortfall of 1 yuan in the registration fee for the parachute research certificate, and he had never thought of selling that mountain bike, but in that situation just now, he gave the bike away without the slightest hesitation.

Now that he has calmed down, he himself finds it unbelievable—he is not a representative of good people and good deeds, and the words "sacrifice oneself for the sake of others" have never had anything to do with him.

"Do you have a bank card?" Pei Yu waited for a while and said again, "Come with me to the bank, and I will transfer the money to you."

"Ah...no need," Lu Shaohang recovered, pretending to be relaxed, "You have to accompany me to the police station to make a statement."

"Calling the police is useless." Pei Yu is someone who has been there, and he is not as optimistic and naive as he is.

"It's different this time. I reported robbery, and the police won't ignore it."

Seeing that he was not moving, Lu Shaohang simply took a step forward and tried to place the phone on top of Pei Yu's head.

When he made sure it wouldn't slip off and was about to withdraw his hand, his wrist was grasped suddenly.

A gentle force pulled him and fell towards Pei Yu.

In a panic, he clung to the handrail of the stairs so as not to fall on Pei Yu.

But the distance between them was already very close, so close that the smell of washing powder on each other's clothes could be clearly heard.

Lu Shaohang held his breath subconsciously, but his heartbeat was uncontrollable and messed up.

The wrist is still held.

Pei Yu's palm was dry and warm, and the base of his five fingers was covered with a thin layer of calluses. When he exerted force, he would slightly rub against his wrist bone.

Although the strength is small, it seems to wipe out the fire.

The heat that cannot be ignored is constantly invading his skin.

Lu Shaohang's face was flushed, but the culprit didn't realize it, and even went so far as to press down on the top of his head with his other hand.

Now Lu Shaohang is going crazy.

Pei Yu... what do you want to do?

The scenes that I accidentally glimpsed that night rushed into my mind out of time, and Lu Shaohang bit his lip nervously.

However, Pei Yu just stood up lightly with his strength, and let go of his hand.

"Let's go."

He brushed Lu Shaohang's shoulder and walked downstairs.

Lu Shaohang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but before he calmed down, he started thinking wildly again.

What's going on here?

Why are you so nervous and out of control because of Pei Yu's few small actions?

What's the matter with being a little lost now?Did he subconsciously hope for something to happen? !

The most hateful thing is of course Pei Yu, who doesn't have any self-consciousness as a gay, and still makes such a daydream behavior, it's simply unbearable.

"What are you dawdling about? Come down." The man who was not smoking called him from downstairs.

……calm down.

Lu Shaohang took a few more deep breaths before turning around and going downstairs.

The two went to the nearest police station to record statements, because they were wounded and reported the loss of a mountain bike worth tens of thousands of yuan, the police took it very seriously.

It was nearly eleven o'clock in the evening when they finished recording their statements and left.

"I'll take you back first, so that your parents won't worry." Pei Yu said.

"No." Lu Shaohang lowered his head and walked unsteadily along the curb, "Even if we don't go back all night, no one will know."

Pei Yu stared at him for a while, then suddenly said, "You're hungry, let's have something together?"

Lu Shaohang stopped and turned his head unexpectedly, "Now?"

"Let's go."

Pei Yu led him to the snack street where the noodle shop where he worked part-time was located.Although it is almost midnight, the business of barbecue stalls and food stalls is booming, and the lively atmosphere can be felt from the street entrance.

The shop they went to was called "Every roast must pass", and the shop was full of people inside and outside.Pei Yu should know the boss very well, so he entered the back kitchen after saying hello, moved out a low square table and two small benches, and put them on the side of the street.

"Sit down first," Pei Yu asked him, "Are there any taboos when eating?"

In fact, Lu Shaohang is a bit picky eater, and eating depends on his mood, no matter how much he likes to eat, if he is in a bad mood that day, the young master will be so disgusted that he won't move his chopsticks.

But he shook his head: "I can do whatever you want."

Pei Yu went to get the food from the freezer, and looked back in the middle. Lu Shaohang sat with his hands in his pockets on a plastic stool that was not as tall as his calves, motionless, like a child in a kindergarten waiting for the teacher to hand out candy, surprisingly well-behaved.

In fact, Lu Shaohang was a little cramped and a little lost.

On the barbecue grill not far away, the charcoal fire occasionally burst out a few sparks, and the steaming skewers gave off bursts of fragrance. The surrounding tables were full of people, talking and laughing happily.

It was fireworks like he had never seen before.

After a while, Pei Yu came back, holding the cotton swabs and iodophor he just bought in his hand.

Lu Shaohang had two scratches on his face, and his own hands were also cut and needed to be disinfected.

"Come here, let me wipe some for you."

Pei Yu skillfully prepared the disinfectant, Lu Shaohang tensed his body uncomfortably, and his face became stiff.

"Then you do it yourself." Pei Yu handed him the cotton swab, poked his right cheek, and indicated the position to Lu Shaohang, "Don't apply it wrong."

Because there was no mirror, Lu Shaohang's strikes were not serious or serious, and applying medicine was like self-mutilation.

Pei Yu couldn't stand it anymore, so he still held Lu Shaohang's chin forcefully, forcing him to raise his head, and helped him apply iodophor.

Lu Shaohang's drooping eyelashes kept trembling, and the place where the cotton swab touched was unbearably itchy, and the injury seemed to have worsened.

Two drops of liquid medicine slid down his cheeks, and Pei Yu wiped them off with his thumb: "Okay."

Professional and expressionless from start to finish.

Lu Shaohang stared at the bottle of iodine, feeling a little uncomfortable: "You can become a doctor in the future."

Pei Yu smiled lightly, put the medicine bottle on the ground by his feet, and lifted Lu Shaohang's car: "Can you really get it back?"

"It's not a big problem. There is a hidden GPS in the handlebar. It should be found soon."

Lu Shaohang said it with a relaxed expression, as if the car he just casually handed over to others was only worth a few dollars.

"And now that the Internet is so developed, even a small incident can become a big one on Weibo, and the police don't dare to deal with it."

Pei Yu nodded, but his brows were still furrowed.

In order not to make him feel that he owed him favors, Lu Shaohang added a superfluous sentence: "I dare to hand over the car keys because I know what's in my heart, not because of helping you."

Pei Yu finally raised his eyes, and Lu Shaohang emphasized it again with great sincerity: "It's really not."

These three words somehow touched Pei Yu's smile, and he couldn't suppress his smile. Later, he simply stopped restraining himself and laughed endlessly with his chin resting on his hands.

"why are you laughing?"

Lu Shaohang glared at him, Pei Yu tilted his head and continued to laugh, probably because the laughter was too hearty and contagious, Lu Shaohang didn't hold back, and raised the corners of his mouth.

Like two idiots, the two laughed for a long time across the empty table. The boss brought a plate of steaming skewers and said cheerfully, "I'm so happy, why don't you have some drinks?"

Pei Yu pointed to Lu Shaohang: "Give him a bottle of hot soy milk."

"Okay! A cup of hot soy milk for 18 tables outside—"

Lu Shaohang was dissatisfied: "Shouldn't we have a bottle of wine on this kind of day?"

"What day? It's just the most common day." The smile on Pei Yu's face gradually faded, "But for you, it should be quite exciting."

Lu Shaohang stared at him intently through the lingering heat.

Pei Yu finally stopped laughing and said "thank you" to him very seriously.

Lu Shaohang shook his head, he didn't want to hear this.

"Eat, it will be cold later." Pei Yu pushed the baking tray towards Lu Shaohang, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and shouted into the shop, "Uncle Li, please bring me a bottle of beer."

"okay--"

When the beer was on the table, he didn't drink it, but just stared at the fine bubbles that kept rising in the glass bottle.

After a while, he suddenly said, "That anonymous message is actually true."

Lu Shaohang thought he heard it wrong: "What?"

"The day we met for the first time during the summer vacation was the fourth day I was released from the detention center."

Lu Shaohang suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"Scared?" Pei Yu asked him.

Lu Shaohang felt that his throat was clamped by an invisible hand, and he couldn't make any sound at all, so he could only shake his head.

"You really should be afraid," Pei Yu smiled self-deprecatingly, "During that time, even I was the same, having nightmares every night."

He raised his head and took a sip of the wine, brushed his thumb over the corner of his lips, and twisted the remaining wetness on his fingertips, telling the whole story.

"My dad was a gambler. He owed someone a hundred thousand, patted his ass and ran away. Before he ran away, he told them that I was studying at S University and had a bright future. I would definitely be able to pay off my father's debts and wipe his ass clean in the future."

Lu Shaohang repeated dumbly: "S big..."

"The group of people couldn't find him, so they had to go to the school to find me. As for the methods, you have seen them just now, they are all dirty."

Although time has passed, Pei Yu still has a lot of anger and unwillingness when recalling that extremely dark experience, and his hand holding the wine bottle is trembling.

"They have been pestering me for more than a year, and even if I pay back the money, they still refuse to stop, and even go too far."

"……and after?"

"There was a fight afterwards," Pei Yu said easily, but the forced smile on his face was uglier than crying. "Their boss was stabbed into the ICU by me and almost died. I went to the detention center for three months, and finally He was sentenced to self-defense."

Pei Yu's mouth became bitter when he spoke, and he raised his head and took another sip of wine.

"So you were expelled from S University?"

Lu Shaohang remembered that he had ridiculed Pei Yu's student ID card, and thinking about it now, that hilarity was undoubtedly a sharp stab at Pei Yu's unhealed wound.

Pei Yu knew what he was thinking, and smiled indifferently: "It's my own decision to quit school."

He spread out the palm of his right hand and handed it to Lu Shaohang.

Lu Shaohang didn't know why, seeing Pei Yu raised his hand again, he lowered his head to look, and suddenly found that there was a long and thin scar on the base of Pei Yu's five fingers, which was not a callus at all.

"A fight?"

"Well, I scratched it when I took the knife, and it hurt my nerves."

Lu Shaohang's heart tightened: "Disabled?"

"Forget it," Pei Yu clenched and loosened his fists again and again, demonstrating the functions of his hands to Lu Shaohang, "It doesn't affect daily life, but it can't do too delicate work. For a medical student, it must be useless."

Unable to hold a scalpel, Pei Yu no longer wants to study medicine. Instead of changing majors in university and being subject to many conditions, he might as well start over and choose a direction that is more suitable for him.

Besides, there are too many rumors about him in S Dali, and he doesn't want to stay in that school anymore, letting others point and point at him.

Although the teachers of the department felt sorry for losing such a good seedling, they also respected his decision.

Fortunately, there was an associate professor in the department and Wang Lijun, the director of the teaching office of Yucheng No. [-] Middle School, who used to be classmates. Thanks to this relationship, Pei Yu entered this key middle school in the city as a transfer student to repeat his studies.

Hearing him tell the whole story, Lu Shaohang didn't speak for a long time. He snatched the wine bottle from Pei Yu's hand, raised his head and took a few sips of wine, then put the bottle heavily on the table, and cursed in a low voice, " Hold".

Pei Yu rested his chin and tilted his head to look at him, with a faint light in his eyes.

After a moment of silence, Lu Shaohang asked, "Do those three people know where you are repeating your studies today?"

"I probably don't know," Pei Yu asked back, "Why?"

"Let's move, this is a good opportunity to change places while the police are looking for them."

"Well, I've found a good place."

I asked for leave today mainly because of this matter.

"Then remember to call me when you want to move."

"What do you want to do?" Pei Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Help me move things?"

Lu Shaohang nodded: "Caring for the disabled starts with me."
