Instinctive reaction

Li Chuan completed the discharge procedures early in the morning, and the streets in the early morning were still a little chilly. He stood at the intersection waiting for the traffic lights, surrounded by three or two students wearing school uniforms and carrying schoolbags. A bus slowly passed by. The figure of the boy was reflected in the transparent car door.

The white shirt had a musty smell of being put out for a long time, and the skinny trousers were too short to reveal the ankles. The originally good proportions of the figure were completely ruined by this outfit.Li Chuan hadn't planned to wear this at first, but the other clothes were not the same, so he couldn't choose a more suitable one for a while.

When the green light came on, he walked towards the station and took the bus back to his rental house.

Li Chuan's residence is very close to the junior college he studied in. It only takes ten minutes to go back and forth. The building has only five floors at most. The elevator can only rely on climbing stairs.

The rental house is on the fifth floor, and there is a musty smell as soon as you enter the corridor. When you reach the fourth floor, Li Chuan is a little tired. His unreasonable diet and self-harm all year round have made his physical condition worrying.

Opening the door with the iron sheet missing, there was another strong damp smell.It was clearly daytime, but the hut was pitch dark, and there were no lights in the short corridor. Li Chuan took the mobile phone and turned on the flashlight to go in. When he touched the switch in the room, the orange light ignited like an open flame, and it was facing a bed on his bed. The bowl of instant noodles that had been there for an unknown amount of time, the flies stopped and flew away.

Li Chuan: "..."

He rolled up his sleeves and bent down to pick up the empty Coke bottle at his feet, and started to tidy up the room without saying a word.

At noon, Li Chuan went downstairs and had a simple lunch at the stall. Someone recognized him and sat down opposite him, "Hey, he's still alive."

Li Chuan looked up at the man. He was an uncle with a messy beard. It was he who called the police and asked the ambulance to take him away from the "garbage dump".

"What do you eat?" Li Chuan asked, "I treat you."

The uncle was stunned, "Ah, isn't it, is it raining red?"

Li Chuan said, "Then I won't invite you."

"Oh no, please, I just haven't eaten, so fill me with a few bowls of tofu nao." The uncle said with a smile.

Li Chuan just gave him a flat look, "Well, you can order."

Uncle: "..."

Uncle: "Please, don't you spend all your money on games?"

"The game is over." Li Chuan had already finished the food in his hand, "Do you want to eat it or not? I'll go back if you don't."

The uncle was a little dumbfounded, and asked, "Why do you go back?"

Li Chuan stood up, looked down at him, "Do hygiene."

"..."

The boy glanced at the time and became impatient, "Do you want to eat or not?"

"Eat, I'll order it right away, you..." The uncle looked at him a little hesitantly, "What's wrong with you, is it true or is it just stupid?"

Li Chuan paid for two bowls of tofu nao, "You are not stupid, I remember your name is He Qiang, and you are 26 years old."

The unshaven man sitting in front of the table chuckled, "That's right, he's killing me."

He Qiang looks really anxious. He works in a nearby factory and lives downstairs from Li Chuan. Like Li Chuan, he loves to play games, and the two sometimes form teams together.The reason why it was discovered that Li Chuan swallowed the medicine was because Li Chuan had agreed to form a team to play the game that day, but Li Chuan hadn't joined the game for a long time, so he went up to take a look worriedly.

The community where Li Chuan lives is known as a "garbage dump". Normal people don't come to live here, only the poor, the drunks, and the drunks like to hang out here.Although dead people are rare, they are not absent. He Qiang doesn't care what kind of mental illness Li Chuan has, as long as he can play games well and score points together, who cares if he dies or not.

Li Chuan had almost cleaned up the room, sweated a lot, went to a nearby bathing center to take a shower, and met He Qiang again when he came back.

"Why go?" He Qiang asked.

Li Chuan: "Go to school."

He Qiang stretched his neck: "Why go?"

Li Chuan: "Deaf?"

He Qiang: "...No, don't you not like going to school? It's not like you to be so proactive when you just came back today."

"Sooner or later, why don't you still read it?" Li Chuan frowned slightly, and tugged at his yellowed shirt, still feeling uncomfortable.

Before Li Chuan went to school, he had a chat with the instructor on WeChat. His attitude was good, and his attitude was even better. He was probably afraid of a problem student like him, so I advised him to suspend school for a while.

Li Chuan said: Yes.

Their instructor is a woman, who has only supervised the students in the first class, and when she was brought to the second class, she encountered such a difficult person as Li Chuan, and she really wanted to cry without tears.But this kid refused to drop out of school no matter how much he persuaded him. He was quite honest and did not commit any crimes at school, but he couldn't bear it and often tossed himself, which was scary.

He was able to agree so readily, and the female instructor was also very surprised. Of course, she had to inform the parents of the suspension. She was not relieved yet, and Li Chuan said: [Forget it]

The female instructor wondered if you were kidding me, but she could only say nicely: [You have been suspended for too long, otherwise you can come to the school to sign first. 】

【OK. 】

Now Li Chuan is standing in front of her, still talking less and taciturn, but his condition is much better than a month ago, at least he is willing to look her directly in the eyes and talk, and he no longer hunches his shoulders.

Looking at it this way, the young man is indeed tall and big, but his shoulders are thin, making him look thin.

The female instructor relented again, "I see that you are in good condition now, and you can come to class tomorrow, but don't let the previous situation happen again."

Li Chuan pursed his lips slightly, as if thinking about something.

The female guide tightened her scalp, for fear that he would say that she couldn't do it.

I just heard Li Chuan say in a questioning tone: "Teacher, can I do it the day after tomorrow?"

The female instructor blinked, "What, what? Oh, you said class? It's also possible."

"Well, thank you teacher."

When Li Chuan came out of the office, the girls talking and laughing at the door suddenly stopped and moved to the side.

He lowered his head to look at the document that the counselor asked for, which was information about subsidies and scholarships.Several boys came from the corridor, and suddenly a man appeared and bumped into Li Chuan's shoulder.

Li Chuan paused, and without raising his head, he adjusted his angle and walked sideways past several people.

It's one o'clock in the afternoon, and he's in a hurry.

After leaving school, Li Chuan took a taxi directly to the commercial street. He didn’t have much money left on his bank card. He went to a physical store to buy clothes and haggled until the boss was speechless. I thought I didn’t talk much, how can I speak so well?”

Li Chuan had already changed out of his previous clothes, and his movements were so neat that he paid for it.At the moment, there is no such fierceness as when bargaining. Let the boss complain, look at the amount on the phone, and prepare to leave.

"Hey, you don't want these pants anymore?" the boss asked him.

Li Chuan paused, then returned to take the bag of clothes from the counter.

After leaving the physical store, he threw the old clothes into the trash can beside him.

Li Limei pays him 3000 yuan for living expenses every month. He has been lying in the hospital for more than ten days this month. Li Limei paid most of the money when he came, and Li Chuan also paid the rest in the morning. , Now I still have a few hundred dollars left in my hand.

The woman's remarried partner was very rich and was willing to pay Li Chuan off, but he was not very happy to let him live with their family.The reason is also very simple - Li Chuan is sick.Ten days and a half months later, Li Limei was going to get emotional and commit suicide. Li Limei was also a little afraid of her son. Since her current husband was willing to pay, she accepted the condition with peace of mind, and gave Li Chuan the money to rent a house by herself.

She is beautiful and young, and now she has given birth to a daughter to a man, and her family is even more harmonious and beautiful.As a superfluous existence, Li Chuan was naturally completely forgotten in the hospital.

Li Chuan entered a barber shop and made a clear request. The barber suggested to him: "I think you look handsome with a broken eyebrow, why don't you flatten the bottom of your hair and get it done..."

"No need." Li Chuan didn't want to interrupt, "Just cut it short, don't have your own ideas, stop when I say stop."

It was the first time for the barber to see such a strong person, but the young man was really fierce, so he could only nod in humiliation and agreed.

After the hair was cut, it really looked good, but the barber continued to sell it unwillingly: "I think it's okay..."

"No." Li Chuan stood up. He was 1.8 meters tall, and he felt oppressive when he looked down. "This is very good. Can I scan the QR code to pay?"

"……Can."

It was past two o'clock when he came out of the barber shop. Li Chuan stopped a taxi and hadn't left long before he received a message from Lin Leyang.

[You were also discharged from the hospital today, why didn't you tell me yesterday? 】

Li Chuan typing: (It was a temporary idea.)

delete.

(Want to surprise you.)

delete.

(Wait for me a second, I'll be there soon)

delete.

It wasn't until he was about to reach the destination that he thought about typing the next sentence and sending it.

【I'm sorry brother, I didn't mean not to tell you/crying/crying】

Sent successfully.

Li Chuan looked at the text he sent with satisfaction, and handed the driver 50 yuan with a cold expression.

The driver picked it up suspiciously, and Li Chuan said, "It's real money. I found it in the crevice of the bed during cleaning today."

Driver: "...Okay, okay."

The moment the doorbell rang, Li Chuan couldn't help but adjust his standing posture. No one opened the door for a while, and he doubted his own judgment a bit.

Until there was a sound from inside the door, Lin Leyang appeared in front of him, as if surprised by his arrival.

Li Chuan finally showed his first smile all day, and he hid it very secretly in his eyes.

"I'm here to find you." He looked at Lin Leyang in front of him, his face was smaller if his hair wasn't combed up, and his wrists were still so slender, but it didn't matter, his body could be recuperated and exercised slowly.He suddenly lowered his voice, "Don't you welcome me? Brother."

He would call him "brother" whenever he saw fit.

Lin Leyang was visibly happy, showing his emotions without any concealment.

Li Chuan: Dress up and go see your wife.
