to imply

The nearest pet hospital is not far away, 10 minutes by car.

The three rushed the dying kitten into the operating room, and then sat side by side on the bench in the hospital lobby. A few minutes later, the phone in Xu Xie's hand rang.

Xu Xie subconsciously answered the phone and said "Hello".

There was an unfamiliar male voice: "Who are you?"

Only then did Xu Xie realize that it was Fang Zhi's call she had answered.

He turned over the phone and handed it back to Fang Zhi who was beside him without saying a word: "Your phone."

Fang Zhi glanced at the caller ID and said "Hello" in a hoarse voice.

"Fang Zhi? I heard that you were dragged away by Chen Mushu early in the morning? Did something happen?" Old Du's voice was low and gentle.

Fang Zhi calmed down, and said in a flat tone when he spoke again: "It's a small matter, it's been resolved now. Let's go back right away."

"Okay. If you have anything to do, you must tell me, don't resist alone."

After hanging up the phone, the three of them went to the front desk to explain the situation, left their contact information and rushed to the school.

"Cat abuse?!"

"Shhhhh! Why are you shouting so loudly?! It's not certain!"

"It's not necessarily? Cigarette butts, stones, cigarette scars, what could they be if they weren't man-made cat abuse?!"

"Shh..."

Jiang An's startled shout was covered by Chen Mushu's hand, and his eyes were widened because of the shock.

Chen Mushu raised his chin, pointed to Fang Zhi who had been sullen since he returned to school, and said nothing, and pointed to Jiang An: "He was in a bad mood when he was disturbed by this incident, and you still shouted so loudly." , looking for death so fresh and refined?"

Jiang An silently closed his mouth and sighed after a while.

Fang's obvious bad mood made no one dare to approach him all morning.

After the fourth class in the morning, everyone in Class [-] was affected by Fang Zhi's low air pressure, and fled like birds and beasts one by one.

So when Xu Xie walked to the door of Class [-] with the packing box in hand, what he saw was Fang Zhi sitting in the corner of the classroom expressionlessly, looking down at his fingers on the table.

"The people from the pet hospital just called me and said that the test results have come out. The injuries on its body look scary, but they are not fatal, but the hind legs are pressed by the box for too long, which may lead to paralysis." Xu Xie Walking into the classroom, he sat back on Chen Mushu's seat and looked at Fang Zhi, and put the packing box in his hand on his desk, "Now we have to wait for it to heal up and then undergo surgery, and then follow-up is the question of whether it will stay or not. The people around asked if we adopted it, or if it..."

"I want to adopt." Before Xu Xie could finish speaking, the young boy replied, "I want to adopt."

"Well, let's go together when the doctor tells us that we can pick it up." Xu Xie glanced casually at Fang Zhi's finger that was still fiddling, frowned, and pushed the packing box in front of him. "Eat first, and after eating, let's go to the infirmary to see the injury."

It was only then that Fang Zhi remembered that he still had the injury on his knee from his stupidity.

To feel it at this moment, the wound is faintly tingling.

He looked up and saw the packing boxes neatly placed on the table, and his heart suddenly felt a little pinched, and it hurt a little.

How should I put it, the delicate care I have received all this time is too little, and suddenly I am treated like this, even a small injury that I don't care about is taken to heart, it is inevitable that I will be moved.

He took apart the chopsticks, quickly took a mouthful of rice, blocked the sourness rising up his throat, and responded in a low voice.

"No big problem, just spray Yunnan Baiyao for two days and it will be fine."

All the teachers and students of Puyang No. [-] Middle School take great care of their bodies, so there is only the school doctor in the school's infirmary all the year round.

The lonely school doctor, surnamed Qi, is a middle-aged woman with two beautiful dimples when she smiles.It's probably because I haven't seen an injured person in the infirmary for too long, so even though Fang Zhi put on a cold face, Doctor Qi stepped up to the challenge and had an awkward chat with him.

"I recognize you, Fang Zhi, Class [-], Grade [-], right? Last year's English test paper was posted on the bulletin board because of scribbling, right? Tell me, you're so good at math, and you're good at English too! And you have this face, such a face. What are you doing? It’s like someone owes you money every day...Look at you! You still stare at me!"

Accurately stepped on to the breaking point.

Xu Xie struggled to hold back his laughter amidst the young boy's increasingly dark face, until finally he couldn't hold back anymore and stopped Doctor Qi from continuing to make death remarks. After receiving the medicine, he took Fang Xiaoyao out of the infirmary.

There is a small path from the infirmary to the teaching building. On both sides of the path are trees planted by the students of each class. Year after year, they grow lush and lush.

The principal of Puyang No. [-] Middle School personally named this grove - "Student Forest".

The two walked side by side on the trail in Xuezi Forest, and the wind blowing from the forest was a little bit cold.

Xu Xie was worried that Fang Zhi might be wearing too thin, when he heard a muffled voice from his side: "My English is poor?"

Xu Xie pursed her lips, she didn't have the nerve to refute this well-known fact against her conscience: "Yes."

Fang Zhi stopped talking.

Although what Xu Xie said was true, he still felt offended.

He twirled his fingertips, hesitated for a moment, and called Xu Xie in a low voice: "Xu Xie?"

"Ok?"

"You help me with my English lessons."

"Um?!"

Xu Xie was amazed at the sudden initiative of the young boy, and slightly widened his eyes.

The young boy who wanted to save face refused to admit that he was hit by the school doctor Qi, and felt that what he just blurted out was a bit hasty, so he glanced at the student forest to the side, the purpose was for people to rest, but it was actually a bench for couples, light and fluffy Say a sentence: "Forget it."

"Don't." Xu Xie protested in a small voice, and lightly bumped Xia Zhi's shoulder, "I didn't say I wouldn't help you."

The warm sunlight fell on Xu Xie's face through the gaps in the leaves, and the corners of the protruding mouth seemed to be shining.

The usually indifferent young boy stared blankly for a moment, then opened and closed the corners of his mouth, and its owner said, "Let me tell you first, I am very strict."

The English study two-person group was set up hastily and steadily over the next few weeks.

The teachers and students in the second grade of senior high school have also completed a complete transformation in the past few weeks from being shocked and astonished at the beginning to gradually accepting it calmly.

In the last class on Friday afternoon, even if there are dark clouds outside the window and the wind and rain are about to come, it can't stop the silent fermenting of excitement in the classrooms.

"You don't even bother to listen to class every Friday!" Lao Du stood on the podium and yelled helplessly, "Chen Mushu, what are you doing? Your head sticks out so long! Do you want to fly out of the window?!"

Chen Mushu rubbed his nose embarrassingly, retracted his upper body that was sticking out of the window back into the seat, and with a glance, he saw his brother Fang behind him playing with his mobile phone with his body on his back.

He said "Puff" twice, and lowered his voice after receiving Fang Zhi's indifferent gaze: "Brother, bring me one for playing games."

Fang Zhi shook the phone screen at him, and the WeChat chat interface flashed in front of him.

"Chat? Who are you chatting with? Not brother, are you hiding something from me? You haven't played games with me recently! Brother..."

"Chen Mushu!" Old Du glared at Chen Mushu unbearably, and threw a chalk stub over, "There are only 5 minutes left! Can you please be quiet?"

Aggrieved, Chen Mushu covered his head that was hit, and muttered "discriminatory treatment".

Two classrooms away, Xu Xie took out her mobile phone from her desk pocket while the teacher was turning around to write on the blackboard, and looked at the message "Let's pick up the cat after class" sent a minute ago on the WeChat chat interface, and replied A "good".

As soon as the bell rang for the end of get out of class, the sound of packing up things resounded seamlessly throughout the classroom.

"You guys... Forget it, get out of class." Lao Du originally had a knowledge point that he didn't finish, but when he saw that the children in the audience had already packed up their things and looked at him eagerly, He was a little soft-hearted, and released the group of impatient monkeys with a wave of his hand.

"Fang Zhi! Let's go!" Jiang An from the other side of the classroom rushed to Fang Zhi's desk, who was still slowly packing up, and shouted, "My mother calls you to our house for dinner!"

"I'm not going." Fang Zhi threw his schoolbag over his shoulder, "I'm going to pick up the cat."

"Pick up the cat? I'm going too! Hey! Don't go so fast! Who are you going with? Alone? Do you want to..."

The latter words were automatically silenced after seeing Xu Xie leaning against the wall of the doorway.

"Let's go." Xu Xie consciously walked to Fang Zhi's side, completely ignoring Jiang An.

His eyes were a little provocative, and his steps were a little arrogant.

Jiang An looked at the two people's backs that were drifting away, and he pushed the slipped schoolbag onto his shoulder in a daze: Why do I have a feeling that the main palace despises the mistress...

Ah bah, what the hell? ? ! !

He hurried to catch up, but after only a short while, the figures of the two were lost in the crowd.

Puyang No. 5 Middle School is next door to a vocational high school, and there is a [-]-minute difference between the closing time of the two schools. When Fang Zhi and Xu Xie walked to the school gate, the students from the two schools were mixed together, and the voices of various colors were as noisy as a swarm of bees coming out of a nest. lively.

"Let's go on foot, there are too many people! It's hard to get a car!"

Excessively loud noises and crowded crowds squeezed the two into each other, and they needed to communicate with each other by shouting.

Fang Zhi felt the warmth coming from the left side of his body, and the green belt was on the right side. When he raised his eyes, he saw Xu Xie's pretty side face and the dark crowd around him.

He separated him from the crowd.

The close arms of the two made Fang Zhi clearly aware of this fact, and at the same time felt a kind of secret intimacy that almost crossed the border.

But before he could figure it out, Xu Xie dragged him out of the crowd and walked towards the pet hospital.

The rainstorm came without warning, and it poured down in an instant.

Fang Zhi and Xu Xie didn't bring umbrellas, so they suffered from unpreparedness in the rainy season, so they could only step on a puddle of water in embarrassment, and hurriedly hid under the eaves of a small shop.

Although they hid quickly, they couldn't resist the sudden heavy rain, and both of them were completely soaked.

The shopkeeper is an old man, wearing a pair of presbyopic glasses, lying on the recliner at the door and reading a newspaper.Seeing someone coming, he slowly turned the newspaper over and said in a drawn-out tone: "Find out what to buy."

The rain was getting heavier, and the water splashed by the raindrops falling on the roadside soon wet the trouser legs of the two of them.

Xu Xie tugged on Fang Zhi's sleeve and pulled him into the store, away from the spray, he turned to the old man and asked, "Do you have umbrellas for sale here?"

"No umbrella, no raincoat. If you two are in a hurry, call a taxi." The old man raised his eyelids and glanced at them, then shook the newspaper, and soon turned his gaze back to the newspaper.

"Call a taxi." Seeing that the rain had no intention of raining, Xu Xie took out her phone and clicked on the taxi calling page.

Water droplets dripped down along with his movements.

As the cold wind blew, Fang Zhi noticed that Xu Xie shivered slightly.

So the young boy wanted to be a master and his physique was quite weak, so he walked into the canteen with a sense of integrity and found two towels, and handed one to Xu Xie after paying the money.

At the same time, attach a sentence of "be careful of catching a cold".

Xu Xie was moved and replied "Thank you".

It was raining heavily, the car was not easy to call, and the location of the canteen was a bit out of the way. Xu Xie waited for a long time before someone finally took the order.

Waiting for the car to be empty, the old man moved out two small benches, not to mention that they were specially taken out for the two of them to sit on, and put them behind them before lying back on the reclining chair.

Both of them are tall, sitting on a small bench with their bodies huddled together, looking a little aggrieved, plus the two are wet, holding a small towel in their hands and wiping their hair every once in a while, the whole picture is sad and funny .

Especially with Fang Zhi's classic cold face and cute sitting posture with legs together, the visual effect directly pokes Xu Xie's smile.

Brother Xu looked at it and laughed immorally.

Fang Zhi: "...I have endured you for a long time."

It's not that Fang Zhi is exaggerating, it's that he can't see through Xueba's jokes. The two have been together for nearly a month, and Xu Xie always laughs for no reason.

Loud, silent, laughing, smiling.

There are all kinds of tricks.

It's like being sick.

"Go on, go on." Xu Xie rubbed Fang Zhi's hair through the towel, and finally coughed twice because of the cold air entering his throat.

Fang Zhi: Yes.

"Boss, buy a pack of cigarettes."

The two followed the sound and saw a tall, thin figure wearing a black raincoat and a peaked cap stepping up the steps.

The person who came was holding an umbrella, and seemed to sense the sight of the two of them, and turned his face to smile at the two of them.

His eyes were hidden under the shadow of the brim of the peaked cap, so he couldn't see clearly, so the arc of the corner of his mouth became more eye-catching.

Fang Zhi stared at it for a while, and for no reason saw a trace of strangeness in that smile.He shuddered unconsciously.

"What's wrong? Is it cold?" Xu Xie only glanced at the person who came, and then returned his attention to Fang Zhi, naturally not missing his slight trembling.

"No." Fang Zhi answered with his mouth, but his eyes followed the tall and thin boy who walked towards the counter after smiling at them, watching him take out his mobile phone from his pocket to scan the QR code to pay after buying cigarettes, and then walked at a decent pace. Urgently holding an umbrella and leaving the canteen, he disappeared at the corner of a street.

Then he heard the old man muttering softly: "Now the young man smokes so much, one pack a day..."

A flash of inspiration, scattered cigarette butts, deep scratches like bone.

"Xu Xie," Fang Zhi blinked lightly, hiding the sudden tension and fear inside.Under Xu Xie's concerned eyes, he spoke in a low voice——

"Do you usually carry a knife with you?"
