Oral period

Early winter in this city is always very dry, and the cold wind blows on the face like a not-so-sharp knife—Xia Jingzhe was thinking aimlessly, sitting on the wall shaking his legs once and for all, swallowing the last sip of ice-cola into his throat , and felt that Night Breeze wasn't that cold anymore.

The last time he came to this street was before he transferred to another school. The only way to go home from the previous school, and a few steps ahead is the witness of his "hero saving the beauty".

At that time, this was the only pedestrian street in the surrounding bustling business district. The terrain was flat, and there were always people practicing skateboarding here. Over time, it gained the nickname of "Skateboard Street".Now that the subway has started to be built nearby, the flat streets have become bumpy and uneven. Without the function of practicing skateboarding, there are not many people coming. Only a few scattered shops are still lit, and they are probably about to close down.

There are still 2 minutes before the appointment at eight o'clock.

He lowered his gaze, squeezed the soda can in his hand into a weird shape that looked like it was sprained, and threw it into the trash can not far away. Then he wondered, in fact, his aim was pretty good when he was not drunk, and he didn't shoot that day. It was just an accident.

Then a familiar figure appeared in the corner of his field of vision, interrupting his unreasonable associations about drunkenness or confession.

"It's early—fuck! What are you doing..."

Gao Qiyang probably didn't expect that the person who was always moaning and refusing to do anything in the past would grab his collar as soon as he met, and subconsciously raised his arm to fight back, only to realize that Xia Jingzhe's target was not him, but the baseball bat in his hand.

"I have nothing to say to you." The club hit the ground at the same time as the knee was kicked again, and the young man's low but clear voice passed by his ears, making him think of the dagger out of its sheath for no reason.

Gao Qiyang spat a dirty word, completely lost the room for sarcasm, staggered upright and turned around to throw a punch, but was dodged neatly again - the difference was that this time Xia Jingzhe not only dodged sideways, but also punched him with a backhand His punch landed on the abdomen impartially, which was a straightforward counterattack that had never been done before.

The balance of victory and defeat has been tilted from the beginning, and there is no tendency to reverse after that. Xia Jingzhe's evasion and countermeasures are too easy, like a cat that is elusive in the night, but it attacks fiercely, but it is mastered in a few strokes initiative.

The only time his balance was unstable was when Gao Qiyang took advantage of the terrain to push him into the pile of debris in the corner, and then grabbed one of his ankles to lift him up - but the next second Xia Jingzhe suddenly turned around, kicked on the wall and took advantage of the situation. kicked him, completely putting him into a passive situation.

At that second, when he looked at Shang Xia Jingzhe, he was startled by the blood in the other's eyes. He almost had the illusion of meeting a desperado alone at night. Great, I can't lift it up anymore.

Xia Jingzhe walked up to him, bent down expressionlessly, her breathing was the ups and downs of embarrassment after strenuous exercise, but her tone was very cold: "Gao Qiyang, those inexplicable rumors after I transferred to another school were all caused by you, I didn't guess wrong?"

Gao Qiyang raised his head to look at him, he couldn't help taking a breath, but for some reason he didn't seem to panic at all, instead he curled his mouth after listening to what he said, as if he had heard something interesting: "... so what?"

In the next second, his vision suddenly tilted, and there was a tearing pain in the base of his ear.Xia Jingzhe withdrew her hand, and straightened up with a frosty face, as if she was narrating some facts that had nothing to do with her: "No, I won the heads-up, so it's considered clear—that's it."

Gao Qiyang sneered, struggled to turn over, and grabbed his ankle with his still-moving left hand: "Who said you won?"

Xia Jingzhe was stunned, and subconsciously broke away from his hand, but the foot he stepped on suddenly stopped in mid-air, like a movie nearing the end was suddenly stopped, and then started to reverse without warning - not far away, the closed At some point, there were seven or eight people standing under the shop, their shadows stretched very long by the pale street lamps, and they could vaguely distinguish the sticks in their hands, as well as the cold light of the blades flickering past.

"Don't be so easy to get baited, you are so short-sighted," Gao Qiyang looked at him and said softly, "Give you another chance, tell me where she is——I've lost interest in her for a long time, at most I'll meet her" rice', and don't intend to pester her, it's okay to tell me, huh?"

The road in front of him is blocked, and further ahead is the downtown area. If someone sees him, he may call the police. Behind him is a dead end, and he can't escape by climbing over the wall like the narrow alley opposite the school. The only "wall" is his previous life. The one I sat on, behind the wall is the embankment...

Xia Jingzhe lowered his gaze, and exhaled lightly, only to realize that there was a faint pain somewhere in his abdominal cavity, and even his breathing was stained with the smell of rust.

The soaring adrenaline dropped back to normal, and the pain that had been ignored for a short time also came back together with his rationality. It involuntarily invaded his limbs and bones, and was numb by the night wind.

It's really easy to lie - when he was really surrounded by people, his heart became extremely calm, leaving only this thought wandering around aimlessly, like some out-of-time sarcasm.

The subsequent plot seems to have nothing to do with whether he answered or not. Gao Qiyang was beaten into such a state by him, obviously he would not let him go easily.

So he twitched the corners of his mouth, and took a few steps back with some kind of absurd gentlemanly mentality, thinking that it was already miserable enough for the other party to fall to the ground, and it would be too pitiful if he was to be beaten by the group.

The group of people surrounding him not far away obviously shared his concerns, and when they noticed that he was going away, they started to move, and the iron rod passed through the air and made a terrifying sound, like a signal to restart a paused movie.

Xia Jingzhe took a deep breath, caught the oncoming fist, and withdrew instinctively with a certain instinct of perceiving danger like a lone beast. The next second, the sound of cloth tearing passed by his ears, it was stabbing from behind The dagger cut through a corner of his coat, and then collided with the metal zipper with a tooth-piercing sound.

The movie also ends at this second.

The sound of the horn seemed to come from a long distance, and it drove to them again in an instant, and then the lights came on, making it impossible to hide a childish farce that was too reckless.

Xia Jingzhe was so shaken that he squinted his eyes, almost swearing, but when he saw the license plate clearly, he suddenly fell silent, as if his whole body was frozen in place, even his thoughts were frozen, leaving only some kind of "big thing is not good" "The premonition quietly surfaced, it was the fear and uneasiness hidden in his instinct that he never had when he met seven or eight people empty-handed.

Then he saw the car door open, and a woman in a black windbreaker got out of the car step by step, and walked towards him surrounded by bodyguards. Her high-heeled shoes stepped on the concrete road, leaving a series of crisp sounds, which ended in an even crisper and more abrupt sound. Slap sound.

Xia Jingzhe maintained the posture of being beaten to the side of his head, swallowed the blood that suddenly rose in his mouth, lowered his gaze, and moved his mouth lightly.
