Rising like the sun

"Didn't Lin Zhiye be punished by their homeroom teacher? He fell asleep standing up like a horse on Friday, you know?"

Li Yu ate a scoop of ice cream with the smell of breaking up, stood in front of the window of a clothing store in the mall, and showed his best friend and sister-in-law Li Qing how Lin Zhiye slept standing up, like a tumbler.

"Did you see it too?"

"I went to see it at the same table."

Lin Zhiye was punished to stand on Thursday. That afternoon, almost all the girls in the school had mastered the schedule of Class 1, Grade [-].The more courageous ones urinated frequently at the same time on Friday, and deliberately walked past Lin Zhiye with a graceful catwalk, only to find that he was dozing off unsteadily.

After Li Yu's tablemate Ah Bing came back, his big fleshy face was blushing, and he whispered, "Why does he look so handsome when he's drooling... I kept the tissues he gave me last semester by my bedside, It’s amazing, it’s a dream come true.”

When Lin Zhiye was mentioned, Li Qing's cheeks were blushed, and she used a small spoon to stir the ice cream in the paper bowl.

"You like him so much, why don't you write love letters to him like other girls?"

Li Qing shook her head like a rattle, "He will definitely refuse. If that happens, I will be embarrassed, he will be embarrassed, and my brother will also be embarrassed...Why should I do something that will embarrass everyone?"

"I don't think your brother will be embarrassed." Li Yu couldn't help but swear, your brother is so thick-skinned that an awl can't pierce it.Even if the "loft fever" just happened the night before, you can pass by without blushing or squinting the next day.

A few days ago, the head teacher was still in class admiring: "If you want to say that you are really smart, you have to count Li Xin, the monitor of Class 1. He is definitely not like you, thinking about dating all day long." Li Yu almost raised his hand and said: "Teacher He fucked me!"

Another time, Li Yu had a face-to-face meeting with the head teacher of Class 1 in the teaching building, and the other party was proudly saying to his colleagues: "Li Xin from our class..." He almost leaned over and yelled: "Li Xin from your class, hang up!" ruthless!"

After silently playing with the ice cream that was about to melt, Li Qing muttered, "I dare not confess."

"Let's go, grab the doll!" Li Yu tugged Li Qing's arm.

The latter flinched in horror at first, and then apologized, "I'm sorry, you surprised me."

Li Yu also apologized: "I'm sorry too..."

Before coming out of the video game city, Li Yuchao's staff asked for a ribbon for wrapping gifts, then strung the plush toys they caught into a string, and handed them to Li Qing.

"You are so good, you can even open a zoo."

Li Yu raised his eyebrows confidently, "I have special skills. Meng Sheng said that I am suitable for working on construction sites. I must be good at driving cranes."

Li Qing put the doll string on her arm and continued to go shopping with Li Yu.During the process, she hesitated to speak several times, and finally asked, "Why did you and my brother break up?"

"Well..." Li Yu looked embarrassed.

"I don't have to know," Li Qing observed his expression, "But...does it have anything to do with me?"

"How could it have something to do with you," Li Yu grinned, and decided to pour dirty water on himself, "I...I green him."

Li Qing opened her mouth wide and stared at her eyes, and made a hat shape with both hands, and put it on top of her head.

"Well, that's it." Li Yu reluctantly nodded, "It's easy for a dude like me to make mistakes."

Li Qing asked with a tangled expression, "Is it serious?"

"It's not serious, it's just that your brother, a serious class leader, can't tolerate sand in his eyes."

There was a trace of reproach in Li Qing's eyes, "Then why do you..."

"Drink too much, you made a small mistake." Li Yu smiled awkwardly, "Don't ask him the reason for breaking up, he will hurt his self-esteem."

"Well, it's no wonder he refused to tell me." Li Qing nodded, "Seeing you working so hard to save me, I, I can't say anything..."

Next, Li Yu self-criticized like a machine gun for more than ten minutes, and he was very motivated to change his past and start a new life, and finally almost restored his image in Li Qing's heart.

The smile returned to the gentle girl's face again, and her gaze passed Li Yu and landed on the window behind him.

Li Yu turned around and saw a beautiful summer floral dress, which matched her temperament very well.You can wear it when the weather gets hotter.

"You like it, sister-in-law?"

"It's okay," Li Qing looked away, "Let's go."

"I'll give it to you!" Li Yu looked down at the price, and recalled the balance of the bank card, there are probably more than 900, "It's only 800, let's treat it as a gift for Labor Day tomorrow!"

Li Qing shook her head slightly, "No need, it's so expensive."

"You're welcome, you forgot, you even gave me a scarf, and I haven't given you any decent presents." Li Yu pulled the string of dolls on Li Qing's arm, "Come on, try it."

"I'm not being polite to you," Li Qing frowned delicately, "I don't need it if you give it to me. I don't wear skirts."

Li Yu looked at her featureless and even rustic sports sweater and jeans, and suddenly smiled, "Come on, I'll try it on for you."

Under the astonished eyes of the salesperson, Li Yu came out of the fitting room with a plastic model wig on her head. She looked like a beautiful girl with a flat chest.

"It looks pretty. You are tall, so the effect must be better than mine." Li Yu turned around in front of her, "It's not too long or too short, it just hits your knees, it's quite suitable for you."

Li Qing covered her mouth and rolled her eyes with a smile.

"There seems to be something wrong," Li Yu touched his chest and asked the salesperson, "Do you have a bra?"

The salesperson shook his head in horror, as if there was something ominous in front of him, "No, no."

Li Qing finally stopped laughing, "Can I take a photo as a souvenir? I won't show it to others..."

"No problem, take a better picture for me." Li Yu adjusted her wig and posed with her hips on her hips, like a star walking on a red carpet.

The salesperson showed an expression of wanting to call the police.

Li Qing took a few photos and said with a smile, "Okay, let's change it."

"How about it, did you buy it?"

Li Qing thought for a while, and finally nodded.

"You are tall, you must be 170?"

"It should be... thank you."

Li Yu took off his wig and said to the salesperson hiding in the corner, "Come here, get me a 170 piece."

Li Yu asked for a photo from Li Qing and sent it to the "mutual aid study group", which immediately caused a stir.

Meng Xing: Brother Yu, you are back to your old job.

Lin Zhiye: Aren't you a showman rather than a person?

Meng Sheng: You still look good in a cheongsam.

Lin Zhiye: Where did you go fishing again to enforce the law?

During the rounds of bombing by the two, Li Xin took the initiative to chat with Li Yu privately for the first time: Why are you dressed like this? Are you completely out of money?

Li Yuwu rolled his big eyes and didn't reply to him. Then he went shopping with Li Qing and walked into a shop selling various small handicrafts.They looked at each other curiously. Li Yu picked up a music box and put it next to Li Qing's ear after winding it up. "What's the name of this song?"

Li Qing listened carefully, and suddenly, Li Yu found that the smile in her eyes froze at first, and then slowly receded.

"What's the matter, is it some kind of magic sound?"

She lowered her head and muttered, "Don't come here..."

Li Yu was wondering, when he suddenly heard a malicious voice approaching from behind his shoulder, and went straight to Li Qing: "Are you Li Qing? Li Xin's younger sister."

Li Yu looked back, it was a face with no characteristics, and it was easy to forget, but Li Yu would remember that malicious smile for a lifetime.It was him, the guy who broke Li Xin's emotions, the boy he met in the hot spring hotel.

Li Qing nodded in a panic, then dragged Li Yu's clothes and walked towards the door.The boy chased out of the store and stood in front of her, "Your brother and I are in the same class, and our two classes are next to each other, remember me?"

"En." Li Qing nodded helplessly.

The boy glanced at the companion who followed, and then looked at her with a smile, "You are more beautiful than before, I almost didn't recognize you."

Li Yushang took a step forward and stood between Li Qing and the boy, glaring at him and asking, "Are you okay?"

"Oh, I saw you last time... Are you Li Xin's brother-in-law?"

Li Yu raised his head, "What's the matter?"

"Hey, then you're out of luck..." The boy made a sympathetic expression on purpose.

Li Yu looked back at Li Qing, and found that her face was completely devoid of color, even her lips had lost color, her eyes were slack, and it seemed that she would be sentenced to death in the next second.

Li Yu gave the boy a hard look, then turned around and pulled Li Qing away.The boy spoke behind their backs, with more malice: "Hey brother, we have the same status, haha, we all call Li Xin brother-in-law."

Li Qing's expression collapsed, she staggered into Li Yu's body, and big tears kept rolling down her cheeks.

The boys deliberately followed behind, using voices they could hear, telling their companions about what happened to Li Qing.

"It was the eleventh holiday at that time..."

Li Qing tightly covered her ears, crying as she walked, attracting the attention of several passers-by.Li Yu was by her side tightly, his brain was filled with unprecedented anger, but instead went blank.

Harsh voices came from behind, piercing their backs and hearts like countless hidden weapons.

"Three?" The boy's companion repeated in surprise.

"Ah, three people, I heard that everyone has more than once."

"Damn, it's so miserable..."

"Who made her often play with boys, maybe she enjoys it quite a bit, this kind of thing can't be slapped."

Li Yu stopped and grabbed Li Qing at the same time, facing those teary eyes, "Don't cry, look at me."

He turned around, pumped himself up secretly, walked towards the boy, swung his right hand and slapped the malicious face heavily, and shouted: "Is it ringing?!"

The boy covered his left ear in shock, probably because his ears were ringing from the beating.

Before the other party could react, Li Yu quickly raised his left hand and slapped him, "Can't a slap make a sound?!"

"Damn it!!" The boy growled and threw a punch.

Li Yu felt a hot nose, a dull pain like hitting a wall, and fell on his back to the ground, with a resounding "KO" in his mind - just like the arcade game he played in the video game city just now.

Li Qing exclaimed, and rushed to Li Yu's side, watching two bright red nosebleeds trickle down his face.

"You, how are you?"

"Hmm..." Li Yu pinched his nose and couldn't speak. Because he was lying on his back, part of the nosebleed choked into his mouth through his nasal cavity. He coughed and vomited blood miserably.

Li Qing's originally pale face turned rosy because of anger, she raised her head and stared at the boy.

Seeing this, the boy was also stunned, and slowly backed away, "He must be sick, but it has nothing to do with me..."

"Bastard!" Li Qing yelled with all her strength, never cheering Lin Zhiye so loudly.Then he rushed forward and scratched the boy's head and face, as if he had practiced Jiuyin White Bone Claws.

The boy was stunned and retreated steadily. His companion ran away before him, and then turned around and shouted: "Run!"

After the boy ran away covering his face, Li Qing turned around to check on Li Yu's condition.

The salesperson from the nearby jewelry store came over and asked, "Should I call the police? Should I call an ambulance?"

"No, no, no," Li Yu finally said, covering his nose with his hands, "It should be fine, just wash it off."

Li Qing accompanied Li Yu to the door of the men's bathroom, and handed him a pack of tissues.Li Yu suddenly changed his mind, "I won't wash my face, call your brother!"

Li Qing seemed to understand what he was going to do, and quickly took out her phone, "Brother, come quickly, Li Yu was beaten..."

They came to the stairwell of the shopping mall and sat on the steps to wait for Li Xin. Almost no one passed by here, and it was an extremely secluded place.Li Qing looked at Li Yu whose face was covered with blood, and her eyes gradually filled with tears.

"Thank you, Li Yu."

"Why are you being polite, you are not only my sister-in-law, but also my good friend... Whoever dares to say such things to you in the future, you will slap him, even if you hurt eight hundred enemies and ten thousand."

"Ah."

Li Yu took out his mobile phone and looked at the selfie camera. He was taken aback by himself, "Fuck, why am I so ugly? No, it has to be worse." He rubbed his nose and got some nosebleeds on his face. smeared.

Li Qing looked at him dumbfounded, and whispered: "I... I have never fought with anyone."

"I didn't take the initiative to confront people head-on. It was Xiaomeng who stood up for me. In fact, I was very cowardly, the kind who would rebel in a second during the war, but with my cowardice and IQ, I believe the organization would not Give me some important task..."

About 20 minutes later, there was a flurry of footsteps from far to near, accompanied by Li Xin's voice: "Xiaoqing?"

Li Qing walked out of the stairwell, "Here it is!"

Li Yuyan closed his legs and kicked, lying on the ground.

When Li Xin walked into the stairwell behind his sister, what he saw was such a scene like a ghost.His legs softened, and with a "boom" in his head, he rushed to hug Li Yu, whose face was covered in blood, and shouted to his sister, "Why don't you call an ambulance?"

"No need..." Li Yuban opened his eyes and looked at Li Xin weakly, "My internal organs and tendons have been shattered, and my Qi and blood are retrograde. I won't live long."

Li Xin was taken aback for a moment, and then his face was covered with black lines, "What are you doing..."

"If I can see you before I die, I will, I will be satisfied." Li Yu let out a breathless voice, drooping his head.

Li Xin sighed, shook Li Yu, and turned to face his sister: "Did he get beaten for wearing women's clothing?"

"That's not true," Li Yu came back to life, leaning against Li Xin's arms, "We got into a fight with that boy, the one we met during the winter vacation."

"It's from your class. It seems to be called Wang Hao." Li Qing said to her brother, there was no timidity in her voice, only anger.

Li Xin's expression became complicated.

Li Yu washed off the blood on his face, and with his red and swollen nose, he sat in Starbucks with his brother and sister Li Xin, drinking sweet caramel macchiato, and told how he met that boy.

"Is it ringing?" Li Qing smiled and waved, "That's what Li Yu asked him."

Li Xin stared at Li Yu's nose, then slowly lowered her eyes, "Thank you."

"Ah, you didn't see my sister-in-law's heroic appearance, she must have scratched him to shame."

Li Qing raised her hands and pointed her fingers at her brother like a cat, "When I washed my hands just now, I found that guy's flesh in my nails."

Li Xin looked at her sister in shock, and did not speak for a long time.He couldn't imagine the appearance of his gentle and quiet sister showing her teeth and claws. That scene must be wonderful.

"I don't know why, but I'm not so scared all of a sudden, I just feel angry, and think he's so hateful." Li Qing looked at her brother seriously, her eyes were bright, "I thought he was so powerful that he wasn't just a bully. Why? Is it just me who suffers? It won’t make him feel safe.”

Li Xin's gaze swept over the string of dolls and the handbag for the skirt, and finally met Li Yu's eyes.In those big and clear eyes, there seemed to be a bonfire that would never go out.As long as you sit in front of this bonfire, even if there is darkness behind you, there will be light in your eyes.
