until the last minute

The beginning of autumn has just arrived, and the school organizes a group outing once a year, and the location is set in a newly developed tourist area.The scenic spot is famous for its original ecological natural scenery. Although the mountains and rivers are good, the mountain paths are bumpy and rough.

A classmate fell, and Zhou Yin almost fell too. He tripped over a raised stone, bumped heavily into the person walking in front of him, and stuck his cheek on the back of that person.

When he was tripped, his hands subconsciously wanted to grab something. He grabbed the coat tied around the waist of the man in front of him, and covered the back of his hand with a thick big hand. he.

The whole process took only a blink of an eye, Zhou Yin quickly stood up, he raised his face embarrassingly, his cheeks began to turn red and hot.The other party turned sideways and asked in a low voice if he was okay.

Zhou Yin said thank you, and secretly raised his eyes to look at the man.

The teacher who led the team arranged to rest on the spot, and the accompanying school doctor treated the wounds of the injured students.Zhou Yin limped and walked under a tree, and sat down while holding onto the tree trunk. His ankle hurt so badly that he would throb and throb when he moved.

He hugged his legs with his arms, rested his head on his knees, and frowned in pain.

The injured students were sent to the infirmary of the scenic spot. The teacher who led the team raised his voice and asked who else had a sprained ankle or was uncomfortable. Zhou Yin didn't say anything. Firstly, he was sitting far away, and secondly, he didn't want everyone's eyes to focus on him. to him.

For some reason, his popularity is not very good, although others will not show him face, but he can clearly feel that the people around him are unwilling to talk to him.

Just like now, other students sit in groups of two or three, chat and laugh, and share snacks with each other.And he watched with cold eyes, indifferent.The people, things, and scenery here all make him lose interest.

Zhou Yin buried his face in his knees, and let out a breath slowly.There was murmur of running water in the distance, and one or two bird calls, and the noisy human voice was covered by the rustling of trees.

Nearby, it seemed that someone had trampled on the fallen leaves on the ground, and Zhou Yin continued to hear the crunching sound of the fallen leaves cracking, an extremely subtle sound.

At last the voice stopped in front of him, and someone was coming.

The first thing he saw when he raised his head was a pair of old pull-back shoes, with loose trousers hanging down from the upper. Zhou Yin stared at the dark blue school trousers in front of him. These were not uniforms issued by the school.He looked up along the legs of his trousers, and the person who had helped him just now was standing in front of him.

"Aren't you going back?" The other party looked at him, and Zhou Yin was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that he was talking to himself.

He mumbled "No going back".The other party looked suspicious, looked at him for a while, and then squatted down to reach out to touch his ankle.

Zhou Yin was so surprised that he retracted his feet. He hugged his knees, and his cold ankle was immediately held by a big hand. The other person leaned forward, moved his hands slightly, and remained silent on his face.

Zhou Yin turned his face away, trying to avoid this extremely embarrassing situation.

"You sprained your ankle, don't move, I'll tell you for you."

The warm fingerprints disappeared from the skin, and the invisible pressure also disappeared, "Wait—" Zhou Yin called to the person who was about to leave, "What's your name?"

The man turned back and reported a name.

Zhou Yin bowed his head and recited silently, the name was as short and powerful as the man's gaze just now.

Li Qing, a transfer student from the next class, he has heard of this name before.

Speaking under the national flag last Monday, the dean of teaching informed on the stage that a classmate in a class in the second year of high school had been given a major demerit for fighting.Zhou Yin was in the class queue, watching from a distance the person who was publicly criticized on the stage.The distance was too far, he couldn't see the face clearly, he only saw that the school uniform worn by the other party was different from theirs.

The classmates whispered to each other, saying that it was a new transfer student, that he took a brick and beat someone's head until he had seven stitches.

Zhou Yin then took a few more glances, the sun was high, and the man stood himself like a sculpture under the scorching sun.

But now, Zhou Yin watched him talk to the teacher who led the team, and then they looked at him together, and finally Li Qing walked towards him with a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao aerosol alone.

"Put your feet flat and raise them up." Li Qing squatted down and ordered.

Zhou Yin pursed his lips, rolled up his trousers cooperatively, and straightened his legs.Li Qing shook the bottle to remind him to close his eyes, and then lightly pressed the nozzle on his ankle.

Zhou Yin blinked, he didn't look at the wound, but looked at Li Qing's serious face, which could even be called dignified.

He thought wildly, wondering what Li Qing's expression would be when he hit someone.

"It should be a soft tissue injury, but no bones. If you are worried, go back and take a picture." Li Qing massaged him with his hands while talking. Zhou Yin thanked him. Li Qing glanced at him and said, "No need. Thanks."

While they were dealing with the sprain, the students who were resting not far away were ready to set off.The teacher who led the team came over to say a few words of condolences, Zhou Yin replied that it was not in the way, and proposed to go back to rest.The teacher leading the team asked Li Qing to send him back.

Li Qing complied.

After the big troops left, Zhou Yin forced a smile to Li Qing, he tried to stand up, but staggered for a while.Li Qing quickly supported him, Zhou Yin first said thank you, and then said apologetically, "I'm really sorry to trouble you to take me back."

Li Qing was embarrassed by his repeated thanks and apologies, and deliberately stopped to explain: "You don't have to be so polite, I don't want to go shopping anymore."

He thought for a while and added: "Just now when you bumped into me, I guess you might have sprained your ankle, but you didn't say so, so I followed because I was worried. Don't blame me for making my own decisions."

Zhou Yin was taken aback when he heard this, it was the first time he saw someone fully consider the other person's feelings even when offering help.He tilted his head and said with a smile: "Then I won't be polite to you, please."

Li Qing helped him all the way back to the hostel.This trip requires a one-night stay, and the rooms are allocated early in the morning. Most hostels have double or quadruple rooms, Zhou Yin is assigned to a quadruple room, and Li Qing is in a two-person room.

Zhou Yin stayed in his room for a quarter of an hour. He washed his face, water dripped down his chin, and the wet shirt collar stuck to his neck.

He dragged his injured leg and walked slowly to Li Qing's room.The door was not closed, so he knocked on the door. Li Qing was putting on his clothes. Seeing him knocking on the door, he quickly stretched his arms into his sleeves, and walked towards him while smoothing his clothes.

Zhou Yin stood at the door and smiled shyly, "Can I come in?"

Li Qing made a gesture to help him in, but Zhou Yin avoided his movement and muttered: "I can go by myself."

He moved to the middle of the two beds, looked left and right, Li Qing coughed lightly, and was about to tidy up a few clothes that were scattered on the left bed, Zhou Yin had already sat down on his buttocks.

Li Qing bent down and pushed the clothes aside, Zhou Yin had sharp eyes, and put his hand directly into Li Qing's collar, holding the label on the inside of the collar with his index finger and middle finger, reminding him: "It's worn backwards."

Li Qing scratched his hair, took off his clothes and put them on again.

Zhou Yin glanced at Li Qing's strong and thin upper body. When Li Qing put on his clothes and looked over, he immediately looked away, with a friendly smile on his face, "Li Qing, can I call you that?"

"Of course, that's my name."

"My name is Zhou Yin."

Hearing this, Li Qing glanced at him and nodded.

"Do you want some snacks?" Xu Shi felt that the atmosphere was awkward, so Li Qing asked him.Zhou Yin shook his head, he sat on the bed and shook his calf, "You seem to know how to deal with sprained feet."

"I used to practice long-distance running, and sometimes I sprained it."

"Are you a sports student?"

"No."

Zhou Yin took out his mobile phone and asked, "Can you add a WeChat account?"

Li Qing came over to scan the QR code. He noticed Zhou Yin's wet collar sticking to his collarbone, and said casually, "Isn't it uncomfortable to stick to it when it's wet?"

Zhou Yin smoothly unbuttoned a button and pulled up the collar.His eyes still stayed on the phone screen, he added a friend and immediately modified the note, and asked Li Qing while typing, "Which Qing is it?"

"This." Li Qing tapped his phone screen.

After typing, Zhou Yin raised his head and smiled at Li Qing, saying, "You can find me when you are free."

Li Qing hummed, and when he straightened up, he happened to see the collar of Zhou Yin's white shirt slightly open, and his sunken neck loomed under the cover of the collar.

They chatted intermittently, and the afternoon passed quickly.When the big troops came back, Zhou Yin moved back to his room.As soon as they entered the door, everyone else came back. Three of the four beds had their luggage placed, and only the top bunk in the corner was empty.

He walked straight to the empty bed, stepped on the ladder with the handrail, and barely climbed to the upper berth.

Zhou Yin lay on the hard bed, staring at the ceiling boredly.He didn't know the other three classmates very well, so he couldn't get into their topic, and they didn't seem to pay attention to him.

Not long after, the group informed them to gather for dinner.Zhou Yin lay there without moving, the other people in the room left, the annoying voice finally dissipated with the footsteps, and the roots of the ears suddenly became much clearer.

The incandescent lamp above his head made his eyes astringent, Zhou Yin rested his arms on his eyes, feeling drowsy, and heard the faint ringtone of his mobile phone before falling asleep in a daze.

He immediately moved his arm away, touched the phone and clicked on the WeChat interface. It was a message from Li Qing, asking him if he would not come to dinner.

Before he could think about what to reply, Li Qing sent a second message, asking if he was in so much pain that he couldn't walk.

It's not that exaggerated, Zhou Yin smiled, typed these words, and decided to get up and eat now.

When he got off the upper bunk, he was holding on to the guardrail with one hand, and he was still replying to WeChat with the other hand. He accidentally stepped on his foot and fell to the ground hard. His back and arms were so painful that he lost consciousness.

Zhou Yin waited for a long time before sitting up in embarrassment, the phone screen flickered, he entered Li Qing's avatar with a wry smile, deleted the half-entered content, and switched to voice.

It should be a common thing to ask others for help, not to mention that he is a wounded number now.So at this moment, if he troubled Li Qing to come over, it shouldn't be so hard to get the truth out.

Zhou Yin convinced himself so, half guilty and half calmly sent the voice message.

Li Qing rushed over quickly, and after confirming that he was able to move and was not injured or bleeding, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then got up to carry him without saying a word.

Li Qing's steps are very steady, and he walks effortlessly with someone on his back.Zhou Yin hugged Li Qing's neck, and Li Qing supported his thighs with both hands, and turned upside down to prevent him from falling off.This action made Zhou Yin blush, very awkward, and hurriedly buried his face in Li Qing's shoulder.

Li Qing noticed something, moved his shoulder, and asked him: "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts a little."

"How did you fall down? It's too careless."

"I want to reply to your WeChat message as soon as possible," Zhou Yin said softly, lying on his back, "I missed it if I didn't pay attention."

Li Qing didn't expect this to be the reason, so he paused before replying: "Don't do this next time, you can reply to my message anytime, I'm not in a hurry."

Zhou Yin hummed obediently.

"Before I came, I told the teacher that the school doctor will send you and another person to the hospital for examination later. Bear with it, the hospital will arrive soon."

"how about you?"

"What am I?"

The questioning stopped suddenly, and Li Qing appeared in front of everyone with his back on his back.He listened to Li Qing explaining the situation to the teacher instead of him, and saw other people looking at them in surprise or surprise.

Zhou Yin lay quietly on Li Qing's back, neither saying a word nor looking at anyone.He handed over the initiative to Li Qing, and in this scene, he tried to pick himself out, cleanly.

If Li Qing heard those malicious rumors in the future, he would be able to refute them confidently——

He did nothing.
