"……elder brother!"

In the dark and dead village, on a moonless night, the cold wind blew through the groves, whining and whining.

On the ruts in the middle of the road, the muddy puddles were cracked by two pairs of rain boots one behind the other.

Ye Jue held Ji Heng's clothes tightly and walked towards the entrance of the village against the cold wind.

Ji Heng took great strides, without saying a word, the profile of his face showed a bit of sternness under the dim light, and his dark phoenix eyes seemed to be covered with ice.

Allowing Ye Jue to follow him, he held an ax in his other hand.

The ax was sharply sharpened, and the pointed end reflected a cold light.

It's not like checking the situation.

More like going to kill someone.

Ye Jue didn't dare to breathe, the closer he got to the mountain pass, the faster his heart beat.

The path into the mountain in the middle of the night was buried by dense snow, and the shadows of the trees in the forest were shadowy, reflected on the gray and white curtain, like a ghost.

Breathing suddenly became messy, and the panic of being watched hit her heart again, Ye Jue called out in a low voice: "...Brother."

Hearing the fear in his voice, Ji Heng turned his face and looked down at him, his voice was cold, but he hugged him behind him.

"Where do you feel being followed?"

The mountain road is full of ruts and footprints, and the general outline cannot be distinguished at a glance.

People in the village live by going up the mountain to collect firewood for cooking, and there are countless villagers who go up and down the mountain every day.

Ye Jue carefully recalled the night's experience, pursed his lips, and pointed to a tree directly in front of him: "That's it."

While picking up branches under that tree, he clearly heard the sound of deliberate footsteps in the forest.

The footsteps approached quietly behind him, and the strong premonition of uneasiness instantly made him realize that the person who came was not good, without any delay, he immediately carried the bamboo basket on his back and ran down the mountain.

After all, they go up the mountain to collect firewood all the year round.

Ye Jue's physical fitness is not as good as most of his peers, but it is definitely not bad.

He didn't know if that 'person' had caught up.

I don't know why that 'person' followed him, but that sight made him sick, and he wanted to vomit.

At this moment, he explained to Ji Heng where the incident happened, and he couldn't help but tighten the corner of Ji Heng's clothes.

The anger on the boy's expressionless face deepened, his body was full of rare hostility, his eyes were extremely cold, and as soon as he took a step, he walked directly into the nearby mountain forest where he couldn't see his fingers.

"elder brother!"

Ye Jue was startled, and hurriedly followed.

After he stepped over the snow pit and followed behind again, Ji Heng looked down at the snow as if searching for something.

After walking only a few steps, when he stopped, a cold breath came from his lips.

Following his line of sight, a pair of footprints are obvious and clear on the snowy ground where no one has been, hidden in the middle of the deep snow layer behind the tree. If Ji Heng hadn't checked carefully, it would only make people think it was a pair of footprints. Tracks of other animals passing by.

Slowly raising his head, Ji Heng's eyes became more and more gloomy.

Looking out from behind the tree through the gap, he could see the big tree that Ye Jue just pointed to.

... That is to say, when Ye Jue was picking up the branch unconsciously, the 'stalker' was standing here, watching him quietly.

Ye Jue also came to his senses, his voice was very soft, and his tone was full of anxiety: "Brother, there is really someone—"

The cold wind howled.

Mixed with finely crushed snow.

Ji Heng hummed, his hair covered his brows and eyes, he didn't know whether it was intentional or not, he loosened his fingers, and the cold and sharp silver ax fell, cutting off the way the stalker came.

It was as if a hideous gap had been opened in the snow. Looking at the knife mark, his expression remained unchanged, as if the cold murderous aura was all Ye Jue's illusion.

"I see." Picking up the axe, Ji Heng led him home coldly: "Sleeping at my house these days."

Ye Jue hesitated, but his eyes were a little happy, and he couldn't help but confirm again: "Is it okay?"

He is thin and weak, his skin is unhealthy white, his Ruifeng eyes are beautiful and slender, his lips are red and his teeth are white, clean, he is indeed a handsome young boy who has just grown up.

Casting a casual glance at him, Ji Heng paused, retracted his gaze and nodded: "Yes."

The two walked on the deserted path and returned to the village.

The vicious dog at the entrance of the village, ready to go, jumped out immediately. Its mouth had just grown. Seeing Ji Heng's nonchalant glance, it immediately fled back home with its tail between its legs in desperation.

Ye Jue was amused by its small eyes that dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak. Just as he smiled a little, Ji Heng said, "Follow me to the city tomorrow morning."

"In the city?"

The town closest to the village takes three hours by car, and it is one of the more prosperous towns around. Grandpa Ye was treating his leg at the hospital in the town. Ye Jue hesitated: "Can I go too?"

He carefully looked at Ji Heng's face, and Ji Heng responded dispensably: "I'm going shopping, you go to see your grandpa."

All the bad mood of a week dissipated in this sentence.

Thinking of the grandparents who haven't seen each other for almost a month.

Ye Jue hugged Ji Heng unconsciously, and led him back to Ji's house by the cuff.

"Okay, brother."

It's Saturday.

It’s time for the market to open in the towns, and people in the countryside bring the things they want to sell early in the morning, such as eggs, duck eggs, cloth, woven bamboo baskets or shoes and socks, and get on the big cart waiting at the gate of the village to go to the village. town.

It's not yet dawn.

Ye Jue was in a deep sleep, and was called up by Ji Heng in a daze.

After the two finished packing, when they walked to the gate of the village, there were already three carts parked there, two of which were full of people.

"Eh? Xiaoye, why are you here?"

Grandma Ye's family is very popular in the village, she is a kind-hearted old man, so everyone in the village knows Ye Jue, even if Grandma Ye is not in the village, they will take good care of him.

Seeing that he was not staying at home at this moment, and actually wanted to go to the city by car, the enthusiastic aunt asked aloud.

Ye Jue was still a little dazed, but was completely awake by the cold wind.

He didn't see Ji Heng, so he looked around anxiously, until he saw Ji Heng who was silent at the cash register, then he looked away with peace of mind, and said to the woman: "Auntie, I want to go to the city to meet my grandma."

The woman paused when she heard the words, a trace of pity appeared in her eyes.

Most people in the village know about Ye Jue's life experience. When Ye Jue's father and mother had the worst relationship, she was pregnant. After the child was born, she was thrown to the two old people by Ye's mother to take care of her.

Two years later, after the relationship improved, Ye's father and Ye's mother lived together lovingly again. This time, they became pregnant again and gave birth to a baby girl. They originally agreed to pick Ye Jue back to her side when she was in junior high school. Nothing happened.

These days most parents are working hard to support their families.

There are not a few of the first five or six children in the family.

It's just that like Ye Jue, a family of three children, he was the first one who was thrown in his hometown and didn't see his parents for three or four years.

Taking out two white and fat steamed buns from the basket, the woman said, "Have you not eaten yet? Take it and eat it."

Ye Jue waved his hands again and again: "No need, auntie, I'm not hungry. Yuxi"

Ye Jue didn't dare to keep the steamed buns made with fine noodles, so he said a few more words to the woman. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Ji Heng who came back after paying the money, and immediately followed.

"Brother," before the person arrived, he put his hand on Ji Heng's clothes, and Ye Jue asked, "How much is a person?"

It takes three hours to drive from the village to the city.

It's not yet six o'clock, and it's the busiest time to arrive in the city. I think the price of this ride will not be low.

Closing his eyes tiredly, he found a corner seat on the last empty car, Ji Heng took Ye Jue to sit down, and asked without answering, "Are you hungry?"

Ye Jue shook his head: "Not hungry."

He was about to ask again, but Ji Heng had already closed his eyes and said, "I'm not hungry, I'll sleep for a while, and I'll eat when I get there."

Suddenly afraid to make a sound, Ye Jue stood next to him and nodded: "Okay, brother, I will watch the road."

……

Waited at the entrance of the village for another 10 minutes.

Seeing that the time was approaching, another three or four people came up from the cart, all of whom were villagers carrying things to sell in the city.

The body of the cart shook violently twice, and started on the road.

It was bumpy all the way, but fortunately, the body was very stable, and mud pits and snow pits were not a problem.

The sky was pale, and the car drove through the darkness, and gradually, the sky brightened.

It is still a cloudy day.

The cold wind was blowing, and the couple in the carriage discussed where to go shopping in voices with strong local accents.

Ye Jue leaned against Ji Heng's shoulder, feeling a little sleepy, and soon fell asleep with his eyes closed.

The boy just closed his eyes and raised his eyelids, his eyes were calm, he straightened his wind-torn hair, took out a wool cap from his pocket, and put it on for Ye Jue.

Ye Jue slept soundly.

Opening his eyes again, the cart had stopped, and the three characters of Qingteng County came into view.

Many villagers got off the two carts in front. Everyone was carrying their things, watching the bustling market, not daring to delay, rushed into the city quickly, and Ye Jue followed Ji Heng into the city.

Having grown up so big, he has only been to the city three or four times, and every time he is surprised by the changes in the city.

The woolen cap on his head was warm, Ye Jue walked beside Ji Heng, heard him ask the passers-by at the door, and then took him straight to the city center hospital.

Whether it's Saturday or Sunday, there are only a lot more people in the hospital.

Smell the pungent smell of disinfectant in the air.

Looking at the exhausted and blank-faced family members of patients in the corridor of the hospital, Ye Jue was in a low mood. He was still very young, but he had witnessed many partings.

With parents and companions, these partings mean that there is still a day of reunion.

The parting in the hospital is only once in a person's life.

Ji Heng didn't speak, and sent him to the ward where Grandpa Ye lived before stopping.

"elder brother?"

Ye Jue was startled, and turned to look at him: "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to buy something." Seeing that Ye Jue wanted to ask again, he said, "I'll pick you up at noon."

Only then obediently shut up, Ye Jue said, "Then I'll go in."

"En." Ji Heng nodded.

It wasn't until he couldn't see him, and saw the faces of the Ye family's grandparents clearly through the window, that Ji Heng quickly left the hospital, his face suddenly turned cold.

At the entrance of the hospital, the eyes of the pickpocket turning around lit up, looking at the expressionless boy who looked like a teenager, he slipped into the crowd and chased him in three steps and two steps, his eyes were fixed on his slightly bulging pockets.

As soon as he approached, his fingers stretched out impatiently.

In the next second, a chilling sensation spread throughout his body. His face turned pale, and he withdrew his hand abruptly, his eyes uncertain.

... Knife, handle?

The young man who passed by lowered his eyes, and his eyes swept past him, his eyes were cold and indifferent, not at all like a child of this age.

After leaving the hospital, walking across a street is the bustling market.

Both sides of the street are filled with daily necessities and food.

Suddenly, Ji Heng paused, stopped in front of a stall, bent down, and asked slowly, "How do you sell this?"

There are people coming and going in the ward.

In addition to the ward, there are also several hospital beds in the corridor at the door.

A haggard old man was lying on the hospital bed, and the bedding was messy. Compared with living in a multi-person room, this kind of bed in a random corner of the corridor is much cheaper.

Grandpa Ye suffered from leg pain in the middle of the night last night and fell asleep in the early morning.

Ye Jue sat in front of the hospital bed, listening to Grandma Ye talking, "Are you afraid of being alone at home?"

Grandma Ye has a gentle appearance. When she was young, she was also a well-known beauty in all over the world. Her pair of auspicious phoenix eyes, which are exactly like Ye Jue's, do not hide her beauty even though she is old.

"Not afraid." Ye Jue said.

Grandma Ye shook her head and sighed softly, "I just saw that kid from the Ji family came with you?"

"Ah."

Grandma Ye: "Is there still a basket of eggs at home? I'll go home later and send them over. We can't take it seriously when they take care of you like this."

Ye Jue thought, "Okay, I'll go back and send it to Grandpa Ji, grandma, you don't have to go back."

Grandpa Ye's leg injury was at a critical moment, and he couldn't leave him for a moment.

"Alright, your grandpa's leg should be healed soon, by the way," Grandma Ye said with a look of hesitation, "Xiaojue, you are 13 years old this year, and your mother has settled down. I call……"

After a pause, Grandma Ye looked at Ye Jue, held his hand and said slowly, "I said you are going to the third grade of junior high school soon, and I want you to go to school in the capital, do you want to go?"

Didn't hear a reply for a while.

Grandma Ye sighed secretly in her heart, and said softly: "I know you are afraid, but your mother misses you very much too, and she has already looked after the school for you over there, and you can enroll if you go there."

"Think about it yourself, we won't force you."

"There is also that child Ji Heng. He is also a hard-working person. Everyone in the village knows about his mother's unmarried pregnancy."

"Although everyone doesn't say it, they are clear in their hearts. Ji Heng is an illegitimate child, and his father has a lot of background. You can play with him, but don't get too close to him."

"You are not all the same, sooner or later you will be separated."

……

at noon.

Ye Jue came down from the hospital building on time, he was wearing Ji Heng's clothes today, the hem of the wide padded jacket was too long, the dark collar made his cheeks white, and his eyelashes were black.

After waiting for a while, Ji Heng, who was also dressed in black, stepped on the snow in the light snow all over the sky, hurried to the front of the hospital building, stood under the steps and looked at him, "How long have you been waiting?"

Walking down the steps in two steps in three steps, Ye Jue smiled and shook his head: "I just came out too."

Staring at him for a while, Ji Heng frowned imperceptibly, and asked, "How is your grandfather?"

Ye Jue replied in a muffled voice, "I didn't wake up all morning."

With a trace of suspicion in his eyes, Ji Heng took him to lunch.

The roads in the city are better than those in the countryside. They are clean and smooth, with snow piled up on both sides of the road. There are still cars and tricycles on the road, and the ruts have been run over, leaving a trail of water.

"I heard that your grandfather has a leg problem?"

Most of the elderly in the village suffer from ailments all over their bodies, and leg problems are even more common. When they were young, they did too much hard work, and their hind legs and waist often ached in old age.

Ye Jue nodded: "Yes."

The frown deepened, Ji Heng glanced at Ye Jue who was still in a daze, and his heart sank: "Don't worry, we will come to see him in the city after a while."

Ye Jue was startled, and unconsciously slowed down: "Is it okay?"

Ji Heng nodded patiently: "Yes."

The two found a small restaurant on the side of the road to eat.

Ye Jue ordered a bowl of wontons, eating absent-mindedly. Ji Heng waited for him, and when he finally finished eating, he took out something from his pocket and handed it to him.

Ye Jue took it, looked at the oddly shaped rectangular "small box", and asked hesitantly, "Brother, what is this?"

Ji Heng said: "Little Smart."

"... PHS?"

Strangely fiddling with the little PHS with a square shape, Ye Jue didn't know which key to press, the small screen lit up suddenly, and his eyelids twitched: "Brother, this...?!"

Ji Heng took the phone, clicked on the address book, and showed him step by step.

There was only a series of numbers in the address book, and when he pressed the dial button, Ye Jue heard a ringtone from Ji Heng's pocket, and he watched in surprise as Ji Heng took out another PHS.

After pressing the button, Ye Jue imitated his actions and put the phone to his ear.

On the phone, Ji Heng's voice was cold and deep, "Hello."

Ye Jue was stunned for a moment, hesitantly said: "...Hello?"

The door of the small restaurant was wide open, and a thick army green curtain was hung.

His body was warm after eating, and Ji Heng looked at him indifferently, and asked, "Do you know how to make a phone call?"

Ye Jue nodded hesitantly and said, "Got it."

Ji Heng was noncommittal, "Call me."

He hung up the phone, watched Ye Jue awkwardly follow the steps he had just done, call out the address book, and press to dial.

Until the phone was automatically hung up when no one connected, Ye Jue held the phone and looked at Ji Heng helplessly. He didn't understand why Ji Heng didn't answer his call, but sat at the table and looked at him indifferently. .

Lifting his jaw, Ji Heng said, "Hit again."

This time, Ye Jue's movements were much more proficient, and Ji Heng still didn't answer the phone call.

Ji Heng: "Call me without looking at the screen."

Ye Jue paused for a moment, then murmured: "Brother, if you don't look at the screen..."

"Try." Ji Heng said.

Ye Jue pursed his lips, looked at the void, rubbed his fingers on the surface of the phone, hesitated for a long time, and pressed the dial button.

Unexpectedly, Ji Heng's cell phone rang.

He was taken aback for a moment, and then rejoiced, his eyes were shining, and his black pupils were clean and clear: "Brother, I've passed the call."

"Ah."

Ji Heng lowered his head and connected the phone. The voice came from the unfamiliar device again, still indifferent, but Ye Jue could clearly hear Ji Heng's concern.

"Remember, you can call me if you have anything."

He asked, "Are you full?"

"...I'm full." Ye Jue said.

"Go home?"

"I want to see grandma again."

"it is good."

Leading him out, Ji Heng sent him to the hospital.

Going straight to the inpatient department, Ye Jue looked at Ji Heng who was waiting for him in the yard, and suddenly realized.

...Ji Heng didn't go to see Grandma Ye with him, did he notice Grandma Ye's indifference to him early on?

It seems that since he was very young, as long as he went to play with Ji Heng, never more than half an hour, Grandma Ye would find various reasons to call him home.

Therefore, on the way to and from school, Ji Heng would not walk by his side, but kept a close distance from him, and later, he would simply arrive late and leave early.

The intersection between the two only lasted for a short period of time in school.

If Grandpa Ye hadn't been hospitalized this time...

It may be a long time before he realizes Ji Heng's estrangement from him without leaving any trace.

In these years, whenever he felt uncomfortable with the relationship between Ji Heng and himself that was drifting away, what was Ji Heng thinking?

Lowering his head sadly, Ye Jue stood at the door of the ward, took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in.

"Xiao Jue?"

Grandma Ye, who had just finished eating, looked back at him, and said happily: "It's just in time, have you eaten yet? I'll go buy you something to eat."

"Grandma, I've eaten."

Trying to maintain a normal expression, Ye Jue sat next to Grandma Ye, still couldn't help whispering: "Brother Ji took me to eat wontons."

With a dazed expression on her face, Grandma Ye smiled, "Ah...Xiao Ji has always been very kind to you."

She took out some change from her pocket, a few pieces, crumpled into a ball.

"You can't take advantage of others. You still have to pay back what should be paid. You take the money, and after paying off Xiao Ji, you spend the rest of the money. Go to the city to see what you want to eat and buy."

Ye Jue was about to shake his head, but Grandma Ye smiled sadly and stroked his hair lovingly: "Come to the city to see your grandpa when you have time, your grandpa misses you too."

Inexplicably feeling a little uneasy from this sentence, Ye Jue sat up straight, "Is Grandpa still awake?"

"I just woke up," Grandma Ye said, "I just woke up and fell asleep again."

"Is Xiaoji still waiting for you? Take the money and go play with him. Remember to go home early. It's getting dark early and the road is not easy to walk. Be careful."

He was coaxed and pushed out of the ward by Grandma Ye, and the old man's gentle smile showed a bit of reluctance.

Before Ye Jue left the ward, she called Ye Jue again and said, "Grandma will be back soon, don't be afraid."

The panic in his heart dissipated slowly in this promise-like words, Ye Jue nodded: "Okay, grandma, I will wait for you at home."

He went downstairs, looked at Ji Heng who was standing in the corner in the hall on the first floor, and waved: "Brother!"

Ji Heng looked at him, saw that there was still a little smile on his face, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"My grandma said they will be going home soon." Ye Jue was overjoyed.

After a pause, Ji Heng asked calmly, "When?"

"I don't know," Ye Jue said, "But it should be soon."

Not knowing what he was thinking about, Ji Heng nodded lightly, "We will come to the hospital again next week."

"Is it possible?" Ye Jue asked again and again.

Ji Heng still answered patiently: "Yes."

The car back to the village will leave at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Now it was dark early, there was no sun, the snow had not melted, and the path was difficult to walk.

The drivers in front of the carts were smoking and talking about the difficulty of life this year.

After Ji Heng came back, he paid the fare first, booked a seat with the driver, took Ye Jue back to the city, and went straight to the market.

Walking to a stall selling knives, Ji Heng stopped and said, "Boss."

The busy stall owner who just had a meal raised his head and smiled happily when he saw him, "Oh, baby, are you here?"

He hastily wiped the rice grains off his mouth, and took out a small silver knife from the large cardboard box next to him.

"We don't talk about exchanging the old for the new, but your knife is good, so I will give you half of the price."

After receiving the knife, Ji Heng carefully inspected it expressionlessly, and slowly narrowed his eyes: "No blade?"

"We don't dare to open this knife lightly," the stall owner smiled wryly: "If it's not good, it won't be sold."

Ji Heng nodded dispensably, and paid for the goods without wasting time.

Ye Jue didn't make a sound behind him, and followed him all the way to the entrance of the city, wondering as he walked, "Brother, why did you buy a knife?"

Ji Heng said casually, "It's okay, just in case."

Ye Jue was stunned for a moment: "Actually, there are quite a few knives in my kitchen. If you need them, just go to my house and get them."

Ji Heng didn't speak, walked to the stall of the daily necessities department store, and asked him: "What do you want to buy?"

His attention was diverted in an instant, Ye Jue squatted down, looked at the homework books and stationery sold wholesale, "Brother, I remember you ran out of books?"

Ji Heng raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"

Ye Jue said, "I haven't seen you hand in your homework for several times, have you run out?"

"..." Ji Heng: "Yes."

Ye Jue bought a pack for each of them, and before leaving, he bought two boxes of chewing gum at the stall next door.

Chewing gum is not a rare commodity these days.

The price is affordable, adults and children love to eat it, Ye Jue handed Ji Heng a box, Ji Heng glanced at him, but still took it.

Immediately smiling happily, Ye Jue followed Ji Heng into the big cart, and the time passed by every minute. When it was three o'clock, the first cart was full of people, and it was the first to dispatch.

In the car, Ye Jue was chewing gum, the cold wind blowing past his face, thinking that his grandparents would be going home soon, but he didn't feel cold at all.

For 13-year-old Xiao Yejue, her greatest happiness is going to school and going home.

There is Ji Heng at school and grandparents at home.

Although his parents are far away in the capital, and they won't be able to come back this year for Chinese New Year, but knowing that they are willing to take him by his side, just thinking about it, he also feels happy.

……

……

Saturday and Sunday passed quickly.

Early on Monday morning, Ye Jue got up from the bed in a daze, and put on his own clothes.

He just finished washing, and he was about to leave from Ji's house.

Suddenly found that the door of the next room was pushed open, and Ji Heng came out, also carrying a schoolbag, looking at him faintly with a tired face that had not yet woken up.

"Brother, did you go to school too?"

"Well," Ji Heng said, "the kitchen has cooked porridge, let's leave after drinking."

Ye Jue hesitated: "Can you go? Grandpa Ji's body..."

"Humph!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a cold snort from the main room, it was like Ji Heng came out of the same mold.

Old Man Ji, who was wearing a military overcoat, rolled his eyes, and said in a strange way: "I have a cold, as far as I am, it was fine 800 years ago, he just wanted to skip class."

Ye Jue was silent and wisely did not speak.

Ji Heng was too lazy to talk to the old man, so he brought the bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen, and the three of them had a casual breakfast. Ye Jue and Ji Heng hurried to school without wasting time.

Elder Ji was the only one left in the main room. He still had no good looks, but there was a smile in his eyes.

... Children, how can you be successful if you don't go to school.

It was time to go to school, and many students in the village packed up their things and rushed to the village middle school together.

There are one grade and one class in the middle school of the village. There are no buildings in the small schools, but small bungalows. The villagers cut back on food and clothing for a long time before they built a playground for the children.

The full name of the village middle school is Dapanshan Middle School.

After Ye Jue walked into the school gate, she turned her head slightly.

Not far behind him, Ji Heng, dressed in black, walked over at a leisurely pace. He lowered his eyes, his face was pale, and his phoenix eyes were dark. He seemed to realize that Ye Jue was looking at him. He raised his eyelids and looked at him. glance.

The heart that was hanging high fell down involuntarily.

Thinking of the endless weird stares in the school, Ye Jue pursed her lips, turned and walked towards the classroom.

As soon as he turned around, before taking two steps, he almost bumped into a motionless figure in front of him.

Reflexively stopped, Ye Jue backed away again and again, and when he raised his head again, his expression paused, and he politely called out, "...Mr. Liu."

The handsome young man who was out of place in the remote and backward mountain village looked at him with a smile.

He was wearing a woolen coat, which was said to be the most popular style in the city at the moment. His hair was fixed with hairspray and combed back into a big back. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face, leaning over and looking at him softly.

"Ye Jue, why are you in such a hurry?"

"I didn't even see the teacher."

Snowflakes were flying under the dark and overcast sky.

A few snowflakes fell steadily on the forehead hair of the person in front of him, making the pair of slender Ruifeng eyes clearer and clearer. The upright young boy took a step back, his cheeks were cold and fair, but his lips were slightly tingling. red.

His voice is clear and clean, even after the voice change period, he is still full of youthful spirit: "Because it's time for morning self-study."

Today he is wearing a black padded jacket, which is much better than the black and red floral jacket that gave Liu Xu a headache last week.

After all, she still has outstanding looks, otherwise, if she just wears a flowered jacket, how can it make people feel that she is reckless.

But it doesn't matter, in the future he will transform Ye Jue little by little.

Let Ye Jue become an appearance that really fits his aesthetics.

Just thinking about it, Liu Xu's fingertips trembled excitedly.

"Ah, early self-study..."

His voice became softer, like a beast seeing its prey, and his eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses were viscous and frenzied, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark.

"It's okay, the teacher will help you and tell Teacher Yang of your class if you go late."

Ye Jue was very annoyed, feeling that the new teacher Xiao Liu couldn't understand human words, "Teacher, I'm not too late yet."

Liu Xu's smile froze: "Huh?"

Ye Jue: "Stop talking to me, our Teacher Yang is looking at me."

His face was completely stiff, and he turned his head.

From a distance, Teacher Yang, the most responsible teacher in the second grade, had already looked over, his stern eyes softened a little after seeing Ye Jue.

"Hurry up, there are still 5 minutes left for self-study!"

Ye Jue ran away without even looking at him, and even breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Xu's smile became colder, staring at the young man's thin and straight back, he pushed his glasses.

Sooner or later—

He turned his head and continued to be on duty at the school gate.

Suddenly, he felt a gaze of cold scrutiny.

Immediately raised his head, he observed sharply and cautiously.

In the next second, he met a pair of dark and calm phoenix eyes.

On the other side of the narrow path, a tall boy wearing a black padded jacket like Ye Jue.

There was indifference on his pale face, as if he had glanced at him casually, his eyes were fixed on him, his eyes were so dark that he couldn't see his emotions clearly, and he retracted naturally after only a moment.

It seemed that the cold and hostile air that made his eyelids twitch was all an illusion.

Straightening up calmly, he watched the boy who was approaching closely with his peripheral vision.

There was nothing unusual on the boy's face, and he passed him by as if he didn't know him at all.

... Is it really an illusion?

Liu Xu wiped off the sweat from his forehead, his eyes were full of surprise.

The teacher who was on duty next door said, "Xiao Liu, that student just now was the most unruly student in your class. It gave your father a headache."

"Huh?" He answered immediately, "Students in our class?"

"Yeah, skipping class every day and leaving early is a thorn in the side. Your father didn't say much about him, so be careful that he targets you."

Liu Xu felt relieved, "...that's it."

But a stab.

The smile on the corner of his mouth is indifferent. Haven't he dealt with too few little boys these years?
