desensitization therapy

At four o'clock in the morning, Fang Zhilian woke up from the pain of an inflamed wisdom tooth.

At first, it was a labor pain that started during a certain class in the afternoon a week ago. At that time, Fang Zhilian didn't pay attention to it. He took a painkiller given by You Li and put it behind him.

The second time was two days ago, he sent Song Feijue a few WeChat messages, Song Feijue didn't reply until before going to bed, Fang Zhilian covered the left half of his face, in the midst of the vague pain and fuzzy feeling Fell asleep guessing.

The third time is now.Fang Zhilian turned on the desk lamp, he turned out the dialog box, and the last message was still on the photo he sent two days ago.

The photo was taken of a page of a book with a sentence outlined in a dark gray pencil and squiggly.

"Parallel universes may exist in linear parallels, or in spherical parallels."

Fang Zhilian pulled down the dialog box, revealing the background blocked by the message, as if he wanted to find something from the blank dialog box with no reply.

His wisdom teeth were starting to ache again.

The persistent pain was not relieved by the coming of daylight, but intensified instead.

After the first class, Fang Zhilian asked You Li for two painkillers, but this time the painkillers were just a drop in the bucket for the inflamed wisdom teeth.

During the break between classes, Zhu Wen came over to care about him: "It really hurts so much?"

"It hurts." Fang Zhilian almost lost the strength to speak.

The only good thing was that it was too painful, and the toothache resonated with nerve pain, so he didn't have time to think about such messy things as why Song Feijue didn't reply to his messages.

"Do you know?" Yuli turned around and said with a raised finger, "In Korea, the first wisdom tooth means the same as first love."

You Li is currently chasing after a popular Korean idol group. The table hole is full of Korean magazines and posters, and she also learned a little bit of Korean. She wants to show off when she has time.

Fang Zhilian lacked interest: "So?"

You Li was full of enthusiasm: "Congratulations, you are about to usher in a first love!"

Forget it, Fang Zhilian buried his face in Quqi's arms, it's almost a broken love.

No, he suddenly raised his head again, what a mess, he hasn't fallen in love yet.

Zhu Wennan's thirst for knowledge is strong: "Why is the first wisdom tooth equal to first love?"

Why... How could Yuli know that half-baked Korean? She thought for a while, and answered confidently: "You are so stupid, you don't understand what the meaning of first love is? It's just like Fang Zhilian, sore, sore, and sore. Wait until you make up your mind to pull it out." If you drop it, it will end without a problem!"

Fang Zhilian was in a daze, and he only heard a few key words: first love, Fang Zhilian, soreness, pain, and death without a problem.

Zhu Wen suddenly realized: "It makes sense!"

Seeing Fang Zhilian's fascinated look, You Li became suspicious, and waved her palm in front of Fang Zhilian's eyes. Seeing that he still didn't respond, she asked suspiciously: "What are you thinking, no? Do you have ghosts in your heart?"

There is indeed a ghost in Fang Zhilian's heart, and it's still a ghost that can't name it.

The wisdom tooth was getting more and more painful, and finally made it through the morning. Fang Zhilian asked Duan Jiayu for an afternoon off to go to the dental hospital to have his wisdom tooth extracted.

The process of pulling out wisdom teeth does not need to be repeated, it needs to be as bloody as bloody.By the time Fang Zhilian came out clutching half of his swollen face in a trance, the troublesome first love had been completely eradicated.

The doctor even asked him if he needed to take the impacted tooth home as a souvenir, and Fang Zhilian shook his head more diligently than a rattle.

Pull it down.

As soon as he got out of the hospital, Fang Zhilian hailed a taxi and planned to go home. He had just sat in the back row when he realized that several unread WeChat messages were displayed on his phone.

The top two are from Zhu Wen, and Cheng Lei.

Then there was Song Feijue.

Fang Zhilian's heart skipped a beat, he deliberately pretended not to see, returned to Zhu Wen, then returned to Cheng Lei, and then opened the chat interface with Song Feijue unhurriedly.

What Song Feijue sent was a penguin emoticon that comes with the system.

What's the meaning?Fang Zhilian put the anesthetic on his head, his hands were faster than his brain, and he sent out a question mark first.

He was still in class at the moment, and Song Feijue didn't reply. Fang Zhilian was very idle, and started to search on Baidu again: what does the penguin emoji on WeChat mean.

Fortunately, this time Song Feijue didn't ask him to guess the riddle for two or three days, and replied after class: "I sent it wrong."

When he received Song Feijue's reply, Fang Zhilian was about to pay to get out of the car, but when he saw the news, he almost had a heart attack, and his phone dropped onto the car carpet with a snap.Reflexively, he stretched out his hand to fish for it, and the raised wallet tilted again, and a pile of banknotes spilled out.

Fang Zhilian hurriedly apologized to the driver, and got out of the car after picking up the money and paying with the mobile phone. Looking at the screen of the mobile phone, Song Feijue sent another WeChat message with a different penguin emoji.

"Sent the wrong one again?" Fang Zhilian replied to him.

Song Feijue replied: "Just kidding. I sent out a test paper for key math questions in the afternoon. Come to me for your self-study tomorrow night, and I will explain it to you."

Fang Zhilian knew without guessing, Duan Jiayu must have let him in. There was no other teacher in No. [-] Middle School who loved helping each other and giving lectures in the group. Who would have thought that they would all go to different classes for helping each other.

With a cramp in his head, Fang Zhilian deliberately sent a sentence: "That bothers you too much."

This time Song Feijue didn't come back for a long time, Fang Zhilian waited for a long time in the sports equipment area of ​​the community, and finally reluctantly went home.

As soon as he got out of the elevator, Song Feijue replied.

A question mark, exactly the same as Fang Zhilian's first reply.

As if to scratch an itch in his heart, Fang Zhilian rubbed the left half of his face, he didn't know that he was laughing really silly now.

But he seemed to be inexplicably able to see Song Feijue's expression from that round question mark, he must be a little puzzled, his eyes were clear and innocent.

"Got it," Fang Zhilian pursed his lips and typed while knocking on the door, "I'll see you tomorrow."

It was Aunt Chang who came to open the door. She probably heard Cheng Lei's call, and she didn't show any surprise that Fang Zhilian came back at this time.

It was not yet five o'clock, even Tang Ting hadn't finished school yet, and Aunt Chang was watching TV alone in the living room.

Aunt Chang straightened his shoes for him, and asked politely, "What would Xiao Fang want to eat?"

"No need, Aunt Chang," Fang Zhilian knew that the pain would last for a while after the anesthetic wears off, and he had no desire to eat, "I'm going upstairs first."

Aunt Chang seemed relieved, nodded, and sat back down again.

Fang Zhilian grabbed a schoolbag and was about to go upstairs when he caught a glimpse of what was playing on the TV.

The 03 edition of "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji".

Zhang Wuji frowned: "But we have a clear conscience, what do others say?"

Zhou Zhiruo said, "What if I feel ashamed?"

Zhang Wuji on the TV was stunned, and Fang Zhilian outside the TV was also stunned.

Yes, because I have a guilty conscience, because I have ghosts in my heart, why don't I dare to joke casually, and why I worry about gains and losses because of a reply.

Fang Zhilian rubbed the numb left side of his face, as if he suddenly understood.

His feelings for Song Feijue are like that crooked wisdom tooth, which flourished and grew after countless lengthy expectations and timidity, and finally became a part of the skeleton accompanied by continuous growing pains.
