Can it be made public?

Games are held on Friday and Saturday.

On Saturday afternoon, the school held its closing ceremony. Prophet Mao explained half a day’s weekend affairs on stage before everyone went home. When he announced that he could leave, he did not forget to tell the athletes to take a good rest after they got home.

The phone vibrated, and Lin Chengshuang's message popped up: 【Are you guys out of school yet?go back together? 】;

Ji Li typed and said: [No, I will be later. 】;

Because of the key, he still needs to stay and lock the door.

There are always a few people in the class who are slow to tidy up. Ji Li never urges, just sits on the seat and brushes the exercise papers, until the end of a paper, he habitually looks up, only to find that the sky outside has darkened.

The people in the classroom had already left, and the lights in the corridor were turned on. He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was past seven o'clock.

Even the evening self-study of the boarding students has begun.

This idea came to Ji Li's mind, and then he remembered that Ying Yunsheng hadn't come.

Starting from this semester, the meal time of their two classes is staggered. Except for the weekly outdoor activity class, the time between after school on Saturday afternoon and before nightfall is almost the only time they can see each other.

He couldn't deny that he refused Lin Chengshuang's proposal to go home together because he was actually waiting for another person.

In the past half of the semester, although they have maintained a tepid relationship with ordinary classmates, they have never broken contact, and this kind of tacit meeting has never been broken. Ji Li will wait for him after finishing his homework ahead of time. , and Ying Yunsheng would run over to notify him in advance if he couldn't come.

This was the first time that the other party was absent without saying hello.

accident?

It doesn't seem too surprising.

Since the beginning of the winter vacation, Ji Li has done the psychological construction of this situation, and now it can only be regarded as expected.

Are you sad?

Actually it's fine.

It's just that when he packed up his things and locked the door alone, and heard the crisp sound of metal colliding, he would think belatedly that he shouldn't have given the other party that bottle of water.

The distance between them has been getting farther and farther away. Ying Yunsheng never persuaded him "Can you change the road?" He respected his wish, and he never asked the other party "Can I accept it?" ", just avoiding this issue all the time, and using a shaky pretense with the other party, drinking poison to quench thirst, enjoying the days when we were still together before we parted.

He could feel that the other party's mentality was actually similar.

Until yesterday's bottle of mineral water.

Ji Li actually didn't think much of it before handing it over, but just happened to see that the other party was sweating and tired after running, so he subconsciously wanted to do something.

Now thinking about this kind of thing happened to the two of them who are not even classmates, especially the other party has no shortage of people to deliver water, his actions are actually a bit redundant.

He didn't know if the other party wanted to refuse, and why he chose him between his classmates and him.

But the balance has been broken, and both of them have crossed the line. If they don't want the mistakes to snowball, staying away is the best way.

Now that Ying Yunsheng has taken the lead in taking action, it is impossible for him to make trouble deliberately and make the other party's efforts go to waste for the second time.

Just as Ji Li walked out of the teaching building, he received another text message from Lin Chengshuang.

[Confucian scholar: Ancestor, why haven't you come back yet?You won't get lost again, will you?My mother just asked me to invite you to my house for dinner. 】

Ji Li went back: [I went to the bookstore to buy something, but I didn't pay attention to the time. 】

Lin Chengshuang didn't think much about it, but urged him to hurry up.

Ji Li exited the page, and originally wanted to call a taxi directly, but remembering the reason just mentioned, Yuan Li simply went to the Qingyun Bookstore outside the campus for convenience.

The bookstore is on the opposite slope full of small stalls. Ji Li opened the game while he was waiting for the red light. He had been idle for a while because he was crossing the road. When he looked at it again, the situation had become chaotic due to the team battle, and the special effects were flying all over the screen.

He started to control the character again. In the game, he has always been very violent, and the attack is always violent. After a battle is over, he has not had time to breathe a sigh of relief.

The peddler on the side of the road closed the stall. He was pushing the tin cart to the middle of the road and was about to leave. He didn’t notice the person standing in front of him when the awning blocked his sight. He didn't dodge when he came over, he just ran straight into it.

Ji Li was caught off guard, and the metal crossbar just hit his right knee, and the muffled sound was heard even by those who set up stalls around him.

The peddler stopped, poked his head out from behind, and frowned: "Why don't you hide when you see a car coming?"

Ji Li picked up the phone that fell on the ground and walked aside: "Sorry."

The peddler glanced at him, pushed the cart away, and muttered as he walked, "Really, you still need to check your mobile phone when you walk, the current students..."

Ji Li didn't make a sound.

Originally, he walked first without looking at the road, so there was nothing to refute.

But more importantly, he really can't muster much energy right now.

Probably it was the sudden stupefaction in my heart when I was questioned by the other party.

Obviously he would not be like this before, he has no addiction to mobile phones, as long as he is out of school, he will not look at the screen when it is time to walk, he dared to develop such a bad habit because he has been accompanied by Ying Yunsheng for more than half a year with.

Every weekend after school, when the two of them leave the classroom, Ying Yunsheng will always send him out of the school, cross the road, stop a taxi at the intersection, and take a few seconds to write down the license plate number before waving at him through the window. He waved his hand, turned around and ran back to school to catch up with the evening self-study of the boarding students at seven o'clock.

But Ji Li only needs to follow behind him, and there will be no mistakes.

Occasionally, if he strays or steps in the air, the other party will always find out one step ahead of him and pull him back to a safe place. He reprimands him in a rare and severe tone, but often he will laugh and say "Isn't it because of you?" "Block it back, and then just let it go.

Habits are really scary things.

Terrible is terrible. When the person involved is still ignorant, it has already subtly changed a person.

He seems to have overestimated his ability to adapt, and underestimated Ying Yunsheng's influence on him.

There is no one in Qingyun Bookstore at the moment. The store manager is arranging all the new goods on the bookshelf, when he suddenly heard someone shouting from the cash register: "Boss, check out."

"Here we come!" The store manager hurried over, packed the booklet and stationery in a bag, and said casually, "Why are you here so late? You don't have to study late?"

Ji Li shook his head: "Today is Saturday, I will go home later."

Only then did the store manager remember that today is a holiday, and immediately "deduce" his experience naturally: "Have you forgotten the time to play with your classmates after school?"

Ji Li lowered his eyes, and said "um", "I didn't notice."

He picked up his bag and went out, called a car on his mobile phone, and when he got down the slope, the car was already waiting by the side of the road.

The driver asked his mobile phone number in front, and after confirming the customer, he turned on the navigation.

When the engine started, there was a "hum" sound, and at the same time there was another sentence: "Ji Li!"

As soon as he raised his head, before he could identify the source of the sound, someone grabbed his sleeve.

Ying Yunsheng obviously ran over, his head was covered with sweat, and he couldn't catch his breath: "I, after the closing ceremony, I was called by the teacher to participate in the sprint rally."

Ji Li didn't realize it for a while: "So?"

"I thought it would be over before school ended. There was no clock in the conference room. I went downstairs to your classroom and found that you were not there."

So no intentional absence.

"I'm sorry." Ying Yunsheng recovered his breath, "I should tell you something in advance."

Ji Li shook his head: "No need to apologize."

There was no obligation to notify him.

When Ying Yunsheng saw the locked classroom, he chased it out completely without thinking. He even thought that if the other party had already returned home, he would have to explain the matter clearly even if he went to the other party's house—even if he was self-indulgent, but He had experienced four years ago what it was like to wait for someone but couldn't wait, and he didn't want the other party to misunderstand him at all.

He stopped for a few seconds before he noticed the car next to him: "Are you in a hurry to go home now?"

Ji Li was stunned for a moment, recalling the message just now, and paused: "It's not in a hurry."

That's something.

Ying Yunsheng glanced at the license plate number and wrote down: "Be careful on the road."

Ji Li didn't get in the car: "Do you have something to tell me?"

Ying Yunsheng: "Yes."

Ji Li just wanted to ask, but the other party added: "I will tell you the same thing when you return to school tomorrow."

Ying Yunsheng opened the car door, watched the other party sit on it, and suddenly reached out to stop the door from closing: "What's wrong with your leg?"

Ji Li said, "It's okay."

Ying Yunsheng frowned, put his hand on his right knee, and pressed down with his fingers. He didn't use much strength, but he still saw the other party shrinking back uncontrollably: "It hurts?"

Unable to hide it, Ji Li could only say, "I accidentally bumped into it when I was crossing the road just now."

"What hit?"

"Guard rail." Seeing him pursing his lips, Ji Li subconsciously comforted him, "It's nothing serious, just a little pain right now, and it will be fine tomorrow."

Ying Yunsheng didn't answer, fastened his seat belt, then took a step back, and closed the door with a "bang".

A few seconds later, the door on the other side swung open.

Ying Yunsheng came in and said to the front, "Master, please go to the city hospital."

Ji Li was taken aback: "You don't need to go to the hospital, it's just a minor injury."

Ying Yunsheng: "Go to the hospital."

The master driver looked in the rearview mirror, and probably figured out who was the one with the upper hand at the moment, so he resolutely betrayed the benefactor and changed the destination of the trip: "Okay, I'll go to the city hospital now."

After Ji Li got off the car, Ying Yunsheng helped him in.

Originally, Ying Yunsheng insisted on carrying him, but he did not agree to the other party's change from a means of transportation to a crutch.

Ying Yunsheng registered and took him to have a CT scan.

While waiting for the results, Ji Li took out his mobile phone and sent messages to both Lin Chengshuang and Aunt Lin, saying that he was going to be home late and that he didn't have to wait for dinner: "What did you want to tell me before?"

Ying Yun was puzzled: "What?"

"When I got into the taxi before," Ji Li reminded him, "Didn't you say you had something to say to me?"

Ying Yunsheng stopped on the spot holding the registration slip.

Ji Li could probably guess what the other party wanted to say by looking at him. After staring at him for a moment, the words came out calmly: "Do you regret it?"

The air was quiet for a few seconds.

Ying Yunsheng bowed his head: "I regret it."

The metal wheels of the infusion stand in the corridor creaked and rolled, and the car lights downstairs shone in through the gaps in the anti-theft net, and then went out quickly.

"I have worked hard to distance myself from you and adapt to the days when we will not be together in advance. Now I am just an ordinary classmate. After graduation, I will be a friend who I know but am not familiar with. I rejoin a new social circle. I ran into Dao on the street by chance. One sentence is good, but when I turn around, I can’t even invite them to organize class reunions.” Ying Yunsheng said, “I thought I succeeded, but yesterday I found out that I still can’t do it.”

Ji Li couldn't tell what mood he used to ask: "What can't be done?"

Ying Yunsheng: "It's impossible not to like you."

"Uh..." Ji Li responded for ten seconds: "What?"

"I asked my deskmate a question yesterday, if something is destined to end in tragedy, will he do it again?" Ying Yunsheng said, "He asked me back, he is destined to die in 80 years, Are you not alive now?"

"Uh……"

"He knows this truth, and you know it too, because you are also the one who knows that there is danger ahead but still moves forward. Only I have never been clear."

Ying Yunsheng squatted down and looked up at him sitting on the chair: "I know there will be a weekly exam tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I will enter a round of general review. After a year, there are only two countdowns left on the blackboard. But these things haven’t happened yet, and no one knows if there will be any accidents, such as a sudden global disaster that directly leads to the delay of the college entrance examination, so we still have to go to school now.”

"Now I'm still here, and you're fine. I can't really treat you as an ordinary classmate, so I don't want to go on like this with you anymore."

Ying Yunsheng said: "I regret it, I shouldn't have wasted half of the semester."

Ji Li was stunned for a long time.

Ying Yunsheng called him: "Ji Li."

He said: "No matter what you want to do or where you want to go in the future, don't leave me behind, okay?"
