not fierce

Mo Xian didn't know how he got back to his seat, holding the bread that Cheng Jiawang had just brought back in his hand.He was not hungry, and he thought about Xie Xunyang's appearance just now.

That person's voice was not as loud as mine, and he never said harsh words, but... he was really scary.

Mo Xian was a little envious. He secretly imitated Xie Xunyang and squeezed his eyes. He felt that the angle was wrong, and he squinted a little deeper. Then he received a concerned greeting from the girl at the same table, "Xian'er, did your eyes get into your eyelashes?" ? Do you want me to help you take a look?"

"...No, am I not so fierce?"

The girl's happy branches trembled wildly, and she nodded hurriedly, "It's so fierce!"

"."

Mo Xian took two more bites of the bread, and couldn't help but look back, only to see that the bread that was supposed to be in Xie Xunyang's hands was now being held by a fool, eating it earnestly and deliciously.

As for Xie Xunyang, he seemed to be isolated from the surrounding environment, sitting there quietly reading a book with a calm expression.Warm sunlight came in through the back door, spreading a golden light on the tabletop.

School in the afternoon.

When they returned to the village, Xie Xunyang said goodbye to them and went to He Lu's house.

The three looked at each other, and seeing him walking away, Mo Xian opened his mouth, "Xie Xunyang... why don't you come home with me!"

"That's right!" Cheng Jiawang echoed, "It's fine to live in my house, and my mother's cooking is delicious!"

"My...my grandma's cooking is a bit salty..." Cui Shu's mother passed away early, and his father worked outside all the year round, and usually lived with his grandparents.

Xie Xunyang rejected the kindness of several people, but walked into the dilapidated courtyard.

Mo Xian followed behind, muttering: "Then you come to my house to gather tomorrow morning, and we will go to school together."

"Earlier! I want to drink tofu nao."

"Understood." Xie Xunyang replied, standing in the yard and watching him quietly.

The room was also dark and the lights were not turned on. I wondered if He Lu had come back.

Mo Xian hesitated, but still didn't dare to go in, turned around and ran away.

The next day, it was rare for Mo Xian not to be called to bed, so he got up by himself.

When Cheng Jiawang and Cui Shu arrived, the three sat in the courtyard and waited, yawning.

10 minutes passed, 10 minutes passed...

Mo Xian couldn't sit still, and Cui Shu was listless, "Xian'er, I'm so hungry."

Cheng Jiawang: "What time is it? If you don't leave, let alone breakfast, we will all be late!"

Mo Xian felt angry, what's wrong with this man, he promised to be fine yesterday.

After waiting for a few more minutes, there was still no one, so they had to run to the school first.

Today was just in time for the market, and there were many people on the road. By the time the three of Mo Xian ran to the school, they had already rang the bell. After being taught a lesson by the teacher, they returned to their seats in disgrace.

When Cheng Jiawang passed by, he gently touched Mo Xian with his elbow, and leaned closer to his ear, "Look, Xian'er, Xie Xunyang really fell asleep."

On the seat by the back door, there is only a fool, and the side is clean.

Mo Xian didn't respond.

After the first period, Xie Xunyang hadn't come yet. It wasn't until halfway through the second period that the tall and thin figure appeared at the door of the classroom.

The whole class looked at it.

The second class was the English class of teacher Li, the head teacher. She frowned: "Xie Xunyang, what's the matter with you?"

Xie Xunyang was wearing a thick scarf today, and he probably ran all the way here. The hair on his forehead was a little messy, sticking to his fair forehead.

He didn't say much, just bowed his head slightly, "Sorry."

Because he was a new classmate, Teacher Li took care of him a little more and let him in without saying much.

Mo Xian kept staring at Xie Xunyang until he passed by his seat, but he didn't receive any apologetic eyes from him.

He didn't even look at himself.

"!!" Mo Xiangang took a deep breath, his forehead hurt, and the chalk head fell off the table.

"Mo Xian! Listen carefully! I heard you were 15 minutes late this morning!"

Just as Xie Xunyang put down his schoolbag, his body froze. Hearing this, he raised his eyes to look at the seat in the first row, and his eyes moved slightly.

When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Mo Xian deliberately sat in his seat without moving, thinking that as long as that person still has a conscience, he should take the initiative to explain and apologize to him.

After dawdling for a full 5 minutes, both Cheng Jiawang and Cui Shu came back from the bathroom. It was their turn to be on duty today, and they couldn't go out to buy food during the break.The two dragged their brooms and came to Mo Xian, feeling weak.

After waiting for so long, Mo Xian finally raised his chin impatiently, "What is he doing?"

"Who?" Cui Shu's brain froze because of hunger, but it was Cheng Jiawang who reacted first and looked back.

"I don't know! No one is in the seat!"

Run away again? !

Mo Xian turned around 180 degrees, really annoyed.

Sure enough, in the last row, only Liang Sheng was throwing balls of paper at the idiot.

"..."

"What do you want to eat? I'll go out and bring it to you."

Cui Shu regained his vitality in a second, "Oh, Xian'er is the best!" A happy smile appeared on his face, "Scallion pancakes! Scallion pancakes with a ham sausage! Wang Baoer just said that he wants to eat this!"

"Okay. Then bread." Mo Xian took the money and left the classroom door sullenly.

Before he could reach the stairs, someone turned towards him and almost ran into him.A voice above his head called to him:

"Mo Xian."

The voice was a little different from usual, hoarse.

I saw a plastic bag handed over to the eyes, which contained four corns, and the other bag contained tea eggs.

Xie Xunyang came running back. He slowed down his breathing and his eyes were dark.

Serious tone.

"I missed my appointment today, I'm sorry."

"……what?"

Mo Xian has never been so solemnly apologized since he was a child, and he won't be able to fix it for a while.

Xie Xunyang explained: "The other stalls are full of people today, is corn okay?"

Mo Xian touched his gums with the tip of his tongue, and hummed in a low voice: "I wanted to eat scallion pancakes sandwiched with ham sausage, but the corn is just... so-so." Tangy.

Chewing something in his mouth, his voice was muffled: "Have you slept in the morning? We were all late waiting for you!"

Seeing that he had eaten, Xie Xunyang relaxed a little.

"...Mmm." The thick eyelashes drooped, blocking the redundant expression.

"Wang Bao'er! Big tree!" Mo Xian recovered very quickly, and called his friends to eat.

Cui Shu swallowed two eggs in an instant.

Cheng Jiawang patted Xie Xunyang while nibbling corn and said, "Hey, it's normal! It's so cold in winter, I can't get up."

"Is your house cold?" Mo Xian asked suddenly.

Xie Xunyang reacted for a while before realizing that he was asking about He Lu's family.His expression darkened, "It's not cold."

"That's because you haven't spent the winter in Haowang Village. The few days of Chinese New Year are simply too much." Cheng Jiawang clicked his tongue.

"Is he not allowed to go home during the Chinese New Year?" Cui Shu raised his head in confusion.

Xie Xunyang knew that he was asking about his home in Shangjing, if... it could still be regarded as his home.

Thinking of that, Xie Xunyang was slightly dazed, and before he could answer, Teacher Li passed by their class with a stack of homework books, and scolded him: "Is the sanitation cleaned up? You just know how to eat! Don't give your new classmates away." It's broken!"

Cheng Jiawang and Cui Shu quickly waved their brooms, causing dust to fly.Teacher Li covered his mouth and nose, laughed and cursed a few words, and walked away at a faster pace.

A few people were driven into the classroom, and the problem was solved.

During dinner at night, Xu Xin chatted with Mo Xianxian until the Chinese New Year.This year's Chinese New Year is early, less than a month before New Year's Eve, Mo Xian's final exam will be two weeks later, Mo Yao's exam week will be this week, and Friday will be a complete holiday after school.

"If you make progress in this exam, the three of us will go to a restaurant in the city." Xu Xin picked up a piece of braised pork for Mo Xian.

Mo Xian carefully pinched off the fat side with chopsticks, only stuffed the skinny one into his mouth, and asked vaguely, "So does it count if my sister has improved?"

"You little cunning!" Xu Xin was angry and funny, "Your sister will be an intern in two years, how do you compare? If you don't study hard, if you can't go to a junior high school with Wang Baoer, then don't cry .”

"How come? The three of us have similar grades, and we are in the same village. Teacher Li said that no matter whether it's scribing or taking an exam, we must all go to the same junior high school." Mo Xian didn't care.

Xu Xin's eyes became complicated, but they only blinked. Looking at the worry-free son in front of him, he finally sighed softly, but still didn't say anything.

"Eat more and drink a glass of milk before going to bed."

"Mom! Do I have two water bottles? Where's the other one?"

"The blue one? It's at the bottom of your closet. What's wrong?"

"Got it! I'll send it to Xie Xunyang later!"

Xu Xin didn't expect Mo Xian to do this. After being stunned for a while, he showed a gratified smile and praised: "Xian'er is right. It's not easy for Yang Yang to be alone. You should take care of him more."

Having eaten two meals in two days, Mo Xian coughed lightly and raised his face, "That's natural, I can take care of him."

After finishing his homework, Mo Xian hugged the hot water bottle, grabbed a lollipop, and walked towards He Lu's house alone, cheering himself up silently along the way.

There was still no light in the yard, but fortunately there was a window in the side room that reflected the light of the desk lamp.Mo Xian plucked up his courage, pushed open the courtyard door in a low voice, crept to the window, and stood on tiptoe.

He wanted to surprise Xie Xunyang.

But under the weak light, the boy's upper body was naked, and there was a bruise on his fair chest. He was sitting by the "bed" of the simple wooden frame, slightly raised his slender neck, and was scratched from neck to collarbone in silence. Apply medicine to the red marks.
