When Chen Xing woke up, he was already at the hospital. While the nurse was treating the wound, Zhou Chen stood aside, holding Chen Xing's hand in one hand, and wiping the thin sweat on Chen Xing's forehead with a tissue in the other.

While applying the medicine, the nurse asked, "What did you use to get hurt like this?"

Both of them remained silent, and the nurse didn't feel embarrassed, and asked again: "You two are brothers, right? You have such a good relationship."

Zhou Chen looked at the top of Chen Xing's head, shook his head and said seriously: "No, we are a couple."

Chen Xing smiled with his head down, the nurse was a little dazed, and said after a few seconds: "Oh, that's right."

After the wound was treated, the nurse hesitated to speak, Zhou Chen and Chen Xing went out, and she hurriedly chased them out. Zhou Chen and Chen Xing didn't understand, so the nurse took a deep breath, and in vain There were two blushes on the little face, and the voice was not loud, but firm: "You are a good match, I wish you happiness."

Chen Xing laughed, his pale face regained some color, his eyes brightened, looked at the nurse and said sincerely: "Thank you."

There will always be these people who will give you rare kindness on the uneven road and as you stagger forward. Even if it is small, it is enough to block the menacing malice for you and make you feel good about this world. , there is still a sliver of expectation, there is still a little hope for human nature, and there is still a little hope for this society.

When they came, Zhou Chen walked to the hospital with Chen Xing on his back. When they went back, Chen Xing blocked a taxi and dragged Zhou Chen into the back seat.Chen Xing leaned his head on Zhou Chen's shoulder and closed his eyes. Zhou Chen rested his arms on the back of Chen Xing's neck and turned his head to look at Chen Xing's face. Chen Xing's complexion improved a little now, and his long eyelashes were obediently attached to his eyes Below, the wings of the nose moved slightly, Zhou Chen turned his face sideways, and put his lips against Chen Xing's, just sticking to it quietly, Chen Xing opened his eyes and smiled, Zhou Chen stretched out his hand to cover Chen Xing's eyes, biting Chen Xing's lips lightly with his teeth. Xing lower lip, after more than ten seconds, the hands and lips leave at the same time.

Zhou Chen said softly, "Go to sleep."

Chen Xing rubbed his head against Zhou Chen's neck, smiled and said, "Zhou Chen, the principal won't let me go to school, he asked me to reflect at home for a week."

"Well, I'll ask for leave to accompany you."

"I still have to write a [-]-word review. This is the first time I have written a review."

"I'll write it for you."

"Don't get used to me."

"My pleasure."

Chen Xing didn't ask Zhou Chen to ask for leave. Anyway, Xu Xin didn't tell his parents that he was suspended, so he stayed with Chen Xing for a week.Chen Xing tried to write a self-criticism by himself, but he failed in the end. He couldn't make up [-] words, so he finally asked Zhou Chen to write one.

When Chen Xing went to the principal's office to hand in the self-criticism early on Monday morning, Shen Chengyan was also there. The principal read the self-criticism with his glasses on, and began to scold them both with his hands behind his back: "You two, neither of you is reassuring. , You have to be responsible to yourself, there is only one month left before the college entrance examination, and you will soon be in the third year of high school, so don't be so impulsive in doing things in the future, the school still counts on the two of you to win the provincial champion."

Both of them just said a short "Got it." The principal looked at them and sighed, waved his hand and said, "Go back, hurry up and make up for the lessons that were missed this week."

Chen Xing and Shen Chengyan walked out of the office side by side, Shen Chengyan asked in a low voice, "How's the injury?"

"It's okay, it's almost good."

The wound is scabbed now, and it doesn’t feel too much to touch. Chen Xing looked at himself in the mirror last night, and the dark red scar on his fair back was terrifying. He took a cursory glance and immediately pulled down Clothes, I really don't want to take a second look.Zhou Chen had to give him medicine every night, and he couldn't sleep well all night. Pay attention to whether he pressed the wound. The most important thing is that Zhou Chen didn't sleep with him. Undressed, so both of them were very depressed this week.

After entering the classroom, the two were busy with their own business. After a while, Shen Chengyan asked again: "You really didn't see who it was?"

Chen Xing couldn't help laughing: "Where did you have such inexplicable trust in me?"

Shen Chengyan glanced at him quietly: "You are not a fuel-efficient lamp."

Chen Xing put away the smile on his face, glanced at Shen Chengyan outside the window, and said flatly: "I see clearly, you don't need to intervene in this matter, Zhou Chen promised me that he would not care."

"Well, you have a little bit of sense."

"I know."

In mid-May, the weather in this city is really hot. Every day, the classroom fans and air conditioners are turned on, and I still sweat all over my body. There is less than a month left before the college entrance examination. The third year of high school is no longer for exercises. The whole The school is full of red banners, large and small, with inspirational slogans such as "Put your head down in your studies and be a man with your head up" and "Ride the wind and waves, and hang the clouds and sails to help the sea." The study room is brightly lit all night, and the atmosphere on the campus changes It was very quiet and solemn.

The injury on Chen Xing's back also healed, and after the scab fell off, his skin was light pink. Zhou Chen covered Chen Xing's back with his palm all night, holding him tightly. Pulling away Zhou Chen's arm and getting out, Zhou Chen closed his eyes and just hugged him tighter, as if he didn't feel the heat at all.

When school was over in the afternoon, Chen Xing asked Xu Xin and Shen Chengyan to go back first, and sent Zhou Chen a message on his mobile phone saying that he would go back later tonight. Zhou Chen might be busy, but he never replied.

When the dusk fell, the whole school was dead silent, only the independent courtyard of the senior year was brightly lit. Chen Xing packed his schoolbag and slung it on his body. After the lights were turned off, the classroom was dark. Chen Xing leaned against the back door and lit the A cigarette, in the chaos, the scarlet dots are particularly conspicuous.The young man has long hands and long feet, standing lazily and casually, his silhouette is hidden in the darkness, sparks fall on his lips for a while, and fall on his legs for a while, only the hand holding the cigarette can be seen clearly.

The phone in his pocket rang slightly, Chen Xing switched the cigarette to his left hand, and took out the phone from his pocket. It was indeed a message from Zhou Chen: "Be careful, come back as soon as possible, I'll wait for you."

A chuckle sounded in the darkness, coming from the chest, swinging in the air.Chen Xing lowered his head and returned the message: "Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, I'll make it for you at home."

"Don't eat it, don't do it, eat the wontons at the door."

"I don't, I'm going to do it myself."

"I'm afraid you're tired."

"Not tired, wait for me at home."

Putting away the phone, Chen Xing put out the cigarette on the ground, and walked out the door holding the cigarette butt.When he went downstairs and turned a corner, Shen Chengyan was standing upright with his back on the stairs. He turned his head when he heard footsteps, and couldn't see the expression on his face clearly in the night.

Chen Xing walked up to Shen Chengyan and was stunned for a few seconds before asking, "Why haven't you left yet?"

After Shen Chengyan glanced at Chen Xing, he continued to walk forward, with a neutral tone: "Wait for you, Du Keming let me watch you."

Chen Xing couldn't help laughing: "Do you know what I'm going to do?"

Shen Chengyan's answer was concise and clear: "Debt collection."

"I told you not to get involved."

"If something happens to you, Du Keming will have to kill me. You can come here as you want, and I will watch you from a distance."

"Follow if you like, and stay away when the time comes."

Shen Chengyan followed Chen Xing all the way to a dilapidated neighborhood. There was no one in the neighborhood, and there were only three or four households with lights on in all the buildings.The windows of every house are broken and incomplete.The only street lamp was flickering on and off.

Shen Chengyan turned his head and asked Chen Xing: "Are you here for an adventure?"

Chen Xing yawned and said casually, "He came to kill."

Walking downstairs to the innermost building, Chen Xing threw his schoolbag to Shen Chengyan and asked Shen Chengyan to wait under the plane tree. He walked downstairs by himself and looked up at the second floor. The only light in this building was of a room.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the lights on the third floor were turned on, footsteps were heard in the corridor, and the anti-theft door creaked open. A tall man in his 20s pushed the door out wearing flip flops. , neither fat nor thin, dark skinned, unshaven, wearing a gray vest and khaki shorts.

The man was stunned for a few seconds when he saw Chen Xing. Chen Xing smiled and hooked his fingers at the man. The man didn't think much, and followed Chen Xing into the alley behind the building.

But before he could open his stomach, he was kicked by Chen Xing, and he lay on the ground after walking several meters. Chen Xing put his hands in his pockets and looked at him with a sneer: "No. 2, Wang Siqi, your mother was ten years old when you were ten years old." I ran away with someone, and your father ran away after he owed usury, and there is still a debt of 10,000+, is it still on your head now?"

Wang Siqi got up slowly, knelt on the ground covering his stomach, his forehead hurt and sweated, but he still struggled and smiled: "Chen Xing, I still remember you, are you here for revenge?"

Chen Xing glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and generously admitted: "Well, can't you?"

Wang Siqi stood up slowly, holding his stomach, still bent over, looked at Chen Xing and smiled: "Okay, I found the wrong partner last time, I should go to the policeman, it's your uncle, right?"

Chen Xing narrowed his eyes, put his hands in his pockets and walked forward slowly, Wang Siqi straightened up, took two steps back, and pressed his back against the cold wall.

Chen Xing walked up to Wang Siqi, raised his eyes and smiled suddenly, the hand in his pocket instantly caught Wang Siqi's neck, the veins on his forearm bulged, his fingers tightened and pinched the man's neck, his face was calm, His eyes were full of great anger, Wang Siqi's face gradually turned red, he reached out to break Chen Xing's arm, but right now he couldn't use his strength, and couldn't break it at all.

Chen Xing looked at the blue face of the person in front of him, and his voice was still tremblingly cold in the summer night: "Listen well, he is my bottom line, you can't touch it."

Wang Siqi's mind was dizzy, and his breathing became more and more difficult. He said a few words intermittently: "Then... If I... insist on moving him..."

The sound of sharp objects passing through the fabric suddenly sounded, Wang Siqi's thigh felt cold, followed by a piercing pain, Chen Xing let go of his hand, and he slid down the wall. Flowing out from that shocking rip, the entire leg has been dyed red.

Chen Xing held a dagger in his right hand, dripping blood was still hanging on the tip of the knife, refusing to drip.Chen Xing looked down at the blood that kept gushing out, the air seemed to be stained with a faint smell of blood, he frowned, took two steps back and squatted down.Lowering his head, he carefully wiped the blood on the knife with the grass beside him, and said calmly: "Before you try to touch him next time, this knife will not go into your leg, it should be your chest, I said If you can do it, you are not afraid of death, just come.”

Wang Siqi closed his eyes, his face had changed from bruise to pale, sweat dripped from his forehead to the ground along his temples, his expression was painful and ferocious.

Chen Xing stood up, put the dagger into the scabbard and put it in his trouser pocket, looked down at Wang Siqi, and asked with a chuckle, "Does it hurt?"

Wang Siqi didn't speak, and covered the wound on his leg with trembling hands, and stared at Chen Xing with gritted teeth, Chen Xing continued to say: "The wound on my back also hurts, it's nothing, but, this wound It made my partner cry, and when I saw him crying, I wanted you to kill you."

Wang Siqi's voice was a little weak, and he looked at Chen Xing's back and asked, "Aren't you afraid of doing this?"

Chen Xing stopped and turned his head slightly, the broken hair on his forehead was blown tousled by the wind, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his lips, "I'm afraid, but I may be mentally ill, you'd better stay away from me."

Chen Xing trotted to Shen Chengyan's side, took the schoolbag and carried it on his shoulder, Shen Chengyan looked behind Chen Xing, it was pitch black.

Shen Chengyan couldn't hold back and asked Chen Xing: "What did you do to him?"

"One cut, you can't die." Chen Xing ran up, it was already eight o'clock, he was afraid that Zhou Chen would be waiting at home.

Shen Chengyan shouted from behind: "Why are you running so fast?"

Chen Xing raised his arm and waved it in the air, "Go home, Zhou Chen is still waiting for me, let's go first." After speaking, he turned a corner and left the community gate.

Shen Chengyan: "..."

Chen Xing ran all the way, and Zhou Chen opened the door when he ran up to the second floor, Chen Xing stood under the stairs panting with his knees propped up, looked up at Zhou Chen and said with a smile: "Zhou Chen, I'm back. "

Wearing short sleeves, Zhou Chen walked down to Chen Xing in two or three steps, took Chen Xing's hand and went up the stairs and asked, "What are you running for?"

Chen Xing looked at Zhou Chen's back and smiled: "I'm afraid you are in a hurry, what do you want to eat?"

"Tomato egg noodles, you teach me, I will make it for you in the future."

"No, you don't need to learn how to cook, as long as I know how to cook."

Zhou Chen looked back at Chen Xing with a smile: "It's the third year of high school soon, it's important for you to study, so you can teach me some very simple ones, the ones that you can learn quickly."

Chen Xing entered the room, closed the door, lay on Zhou Chen's shoulder and couldn't stop laughing.

Zhou Chen took the schoolbag off Chen Xing's shoulder and held it in his hand, pinched Chen Xing's face and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Chen Xing tilted his head and kissed Zhou Chen's neck, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid you'll blow up the kitchen."

Zhou Chen gave him a cool look and said, "I'm not a fool."

Chen Xing hugged Zhou Chen's waist and buried his face in Zhou Chen's neck, and said softly, "You are a fool, Zhou Chen, I remembered you crying that day again today."

You cried in my arms that day, was it the first time you cried in these years?The grievances accumulated for many years, you cried just once, but because of that little injury on my back, you shed tears behind me again, Zhou Chen, tell me, is your weakness now me?

Zhou Chen put his hand on Chen Xing's waist, and said with a smile, "I was infected by you."

"Let's stop crying in the future. Why are the two big men crying all day long? They are obviously very happy, right?"

"Well, listen to you, stop crying."

Chen Xing led Zhou Chen to the kitchen, "Let me teach you something simple. If I'm not at home one day, you don't need to eat takeaway."

"Well, listen to you."

The author has something to say: My Brother Chen is a wolf in front of outsiders, and a rabbit in front of Zhou Chen.
