know each other

When Chaoyang woke up, he saw the familiar ceiling, but sitting beside him was his mother, not his brother.

Chao's mother fell asleep on his bedside. This year, she is taking care of third-year junior high school students, so this year will be busier than usual.

The sky outside the window began to half light.

He sighed softly and checked the time, 06:30.

"Yangyang, you're awake." Although Chaoyang's movements were very light, he still woke up Chaomu, who was not a deep sleeper.

"Mom, go back to your room and sleep again, I'm fine." Chaoyang said.

"It's already 06:30, I just wanted to lie down for a while, but now I'm not in the mood to sleep, and I have to go to school." Mother Chao got up and stretched her body, rubbing her neck, obviously sleeping in the same position last night Something is wrong.

Chaoyang felt that he should say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he sat by the bed in a daze.

"Brush your teeth and wash your face quickly. After breakfast, go to school. Your brother is not here, so don't think I'm spoiling you." Chao Mu seemed to have seen his intentions, and deliberately pretended to be very fierce.

"En." Hearing what Chaomu said, Chaoyang suddenly felt very relaxed and agreed.

After Chaomu closed the door, the first thing he did was to pick up the phone and check the text messages, but there was nothing, no news about Ji Chi, and no phone call from him.

Just when he was feeling down, he suddenly remembered that Ji Chi wasn't at school yesterday, and he didn't know that he fainted.

Chaoyang didn't know where Ji Chi was now, so he tried to send him a text message, but when he finished washing and went downstairs, Ji Chi didn't reply.

"Should have gone to school, I don't know how he is now." Chaoyang said to himself and went downstairs.

There is no one at the table. If it was before, on a normal Monday morning, Chao's mother would get up the earliest because he had to cook breakfast, and his brother would get up the second morning because he was going to be sent to school, and his boss was very strict with him. Yan, being late once and deducting full attendance, he is the third, and his father is always behind him at a leisurely pace.

"Yangyang, drink some soy milk first, soaked some soybeans last night." Chaomu was pouring soy milk, saw him coming downstairs, and smiled at him.

However, Chaoyang's phone rang suddenly at this time, and the caller ID was Ji Chi.

Chaoyang stopped walking down the stairs, smiled apologetically at his mother, and bumped into his father when he went upstairs.

"What's the matter, Yangyang, are you in such a hurry?" Chaofu smiled kindly and asked while supporting him.

Chaoyang shook his head at him, and said with a smile: "It's okay."

After the call was connected, no one spoke for a long time. If it was normal, Ji Chi would definitely speak first to break the silence.

"Hey, is that Ji Chi?" Chaoyang knew he was asking the question knowingly, but he still asked.

"Um--"

Ji Chi's voice was very hoarse, which made people uncomfortable.

"Ji Chi, are you okay?" Chaoyang grabbed the phone tightly, he remembered what the teacher said yesterday, something must have happened at Ji Chi's home.

Ji Chi seemed to smile a little, it was very vague, he couldn't hear clearly, then coughed a few more times, and said slowly: "Master, I'm fine."

Even after coughing a few times, his voice was still so hoarse, he probably didn't sleep all night.

"Where are you now?" Chaoyang asked again.

The other end was silent, and after a long time, Ji Chi smiled and said: "At home, young master, I'm fine."

Deceiving.

Chaoyang held the phone tightly, but he still didn't dare to say those two words. He just felt that Ji Chi should be in pain now, so painful that he didn't want him to bother him.

"Master, I'm really fine, don't worry about me." Ji Chi seemed to find nothing wrong, and cheered up again: "But I probably won't come to school these days, so don't miss me too much."

"Who would miss you." He said so, but he was already worried about him in his heart, something must have happened to him.

Suddenly there was a noisy voice on the other end of the phone, very confusing, Ji Chi suddenly said:

"I have something to do here, young master, I'll hang up first."

Then there was a relentless hang-up.

"I should be at school at this time, how could I call you on my mobile phone, Ji Chi." Chaoyang said to himself while holding the mobile phone.

After breakfast, Chaoyang refused his mother to accompany him to school, went to school alone, and caught up with the first class.

Chaoyang sat on the seat, and mechanically took out the textbook for this class.

"Chaoyang, take a look at this question."

Chaoyang stood up with a blank mind, he didn't pay attention to what the teacher was saying, but luckily all the teachers didn't pay much attention.

"It's okay, just sit down and answer for him at the same table." The teacher smiled at him and looked at Fang Wenqing.

Fang Wenqing was obviously not surprised when he was called. He took off his glasses before looking at the blackboard. After thinking for less than three seconds, he answered.

"Very good. Fang Wenqing's answer is very good. Sit down." The teacher smiled slightly and continued to talk about the topic.

After the get out of class bell rang, the teacher seemed to have more than enough to say, but some students had already begun to falter, so he had no choice but to announce the dismissal of get out of class.

"Xueba, were you okay yesterday?" Song Yusheng asked.

Chaoyang knew that he cared about him, and he also knew that Ji Chi didn't like his perfunctory response, so he turned his head and forced a smile at him, saying: "It's okay."

Song Yusheng wanted to ask something else, but he had already turned back.

"What happened to you yesterday?" If it weren't for the content of the speech, Chaoyang would think that Fang Wenqing was not talking to him, but the same as the test paper.

For Fang Wenqing, Chaoyang didn't even want to be perfunctory. Now he just wanted to find the book to preview for the next section, but he couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked.

"The next class is technology. You just turned it over." Although Chaoyang didn't look at Fang Wenqing's face, he knew that he must be smiling now.

He is really not interested now, nor is he interested in paying attention to matters other than Ji Chi and Ji Chi, so he also ignores Fang Wenqing.

"Jingle Bell--"

"get out of class."

……

"Xueba, it's been four days. Brother Ji hasn't come to school yet? He hasn't come out at home..." Song Yusheng was sitting in the cafeteria at this time, and his current girlfriend Lin Yiheng was sitting beside him. Fortunately, he caught him in time. sleeves.

Otherwise, Chaoyang's face might be even paler.

"Chaoyang, don't worry too much."

Not only Song Yusheng and Lin Yiheng saw how Chaoyang was doing these days, but even the teacher noticed something was wrong, and even went to find Song Yusheng in private, Song Yusheng insisted that he didn't know anything.

Although he knew that they had good intentions, Chaoyang now felt that he didn't even want to perfunctory them.

The three of them walked out of the cafeteria without saying a word. After Chaoyang separated from them at the door, they went back to the teaching building.

Fang Wenqing seemed to never leave his seat, sitting there and studying.

When Chaoyang sat down, he didn't say a word, and the atmosphere between the two of them was super weird.

Just when he took out his homework and began to deal with it casually, Chaoyang suddenly found a small piece of paper folded neatly.

See you on the rooftop.

It's Ji Chi's character.

Chaoyang dropped the pen in an instant, pretended to be calm, and took the note out of the classroom door.

After reaching the rooftop, there was indeed a familiar figure standing behind the railing with his back turned to him.

As if sensing the arrival of the rising sun, Ji Chi turned around and walked over.

And the closer he got, the more uncomfortable Chaoyang was. After only a few days of seeing him, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight. There was still that bloodless face, haggard and pale, and thick dark circles under his eyes.

"Ji Chi." Chaoyang called his name unconsciously.

Ji Chi struggled to climb over the railing, and when he stood in front of him, he even shook a few times. Chaoyang hurriedly supported him, and the two of them fell to the ground because of their unstable center of gravity.

"I'm sorry, young master. I haven't seen you for a few days. I seem to be useless." Ji Chi leaned on Chaoyang's chest and said in a self-deprecating tone.

Chaoyang hugged his head tightly with both hands, his heart was pricked with needles, something must have happened at Ji Chi's house, he should have thought about it a long time ago, he shouldn't have gone to school that day.

"Am I really useless? Going to school is useless except for spending family money, and my academic performance is just passable." Ji Chi seemed to be in pain, and would pause for a long time without saying a word.

Chaoyang faintly felt that something was wrong, Ji Chi probably wanted to drop out of school.

"Ji Chi..."

"Master, I won't drop out of school, and she won't let me drop out." Ji Chi said after seeing through Chaoyang's thoughts.

She should be Ji Chi's mother, and Chaoyang guessed that something might have happened to his father.

"My dad had a car accident. On the first day of school, when I was messing with you, he got into a car accident."

Chaoyang felt that his hands seemed to be soaked in water, but he knew that it was not water, but Ji Chi's tears.

Ji Chi was blaming himself for taking responsibility that did not belong to him.

"Ji Chi, this isn't..."

"It's not my fault, right? She said the same thing, but I just feel uncomfortable, so I don't want to come to school."

Don't want to come see me, do you?

Chaoyang felt that he was on such a bright rooftop, but he felt dark all over, and that he was on such a hot rooftop, but he felt cold all over.

"I don't want to come to see you." Ji Chi said softly.

"But, young master, I still really want to see you. After I found out that something happened to my dad that day, the first person I wanted to see the most was actually you. So, I'm here to see you. "

Chaoyang didn't dare to think about what Ji Chi would say next second, he was afraid it would be what he thought again.

"us……"

"Don't say it, please? Please don't say it." Chaoyang also cried unknowingly. He tried his best to cover Ji Chi's mouth, not wanting him to finish his sentence. He was afraid that if he finished speaking, they would really end everything.

Ji Chi gently took his hand away, rolled over from him, leaned against the railing, looked up at the sky and said, "It's not your fault, Chaoyang, I've been blaming myself, it's my fault. "

Chaoyang wiped his tears, but the tears couldn't be stopped no matter what, and the choking sound made Ji Chi feel even more heartbroken.

"Chaoyang..."

"I don't want it, Ji Chi, I don't want it." He sat up suddenly, grabbed his hand, and said, "It's obviously not your fault."

"It's not my fault, I will blame myself for the rest of my life, unless my dad can wake up, Chaoyang, calm down." Ji Chi broke his hand away, looked away and continued: "I want to Many, I always feel that we are still high school students, we are still too young, and we have not planned for our future, so we may be too reckless."

"Then why do you still come to provoke me?" Chaoyang suddenly shouted to him, "Why do you still want to reconcile with me, confess to me, and give me hope that we can go to the future!"

Ji Chi lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, young master."
