When Lin Xiaodong woke up, he thought he had died.

He lay flat on the bed with a peaceful expression.

Ah, he is already a useless person.

But when he heard the sound of wheels coming from beside him, Lin Xiaodong blinked his eyes, but still tried to turn his head to look over.

But it was such a simple movement, because it involved sore muscles on his body, it still made him grin his teeth for a while.

"You... are you the seducer who came to pick me up?" In the dim room, the pale and thin young man stared blankly at the man sitting beside his bed, clutching the quilt tightly, and asked in a low voice, " Please, may I ask, are you a bull head or a horse face?"

Hearing this, Lin Pei's face turned dark immediately.

"It seems that you have rested already." He looked at Lin Xiaodong's playful look, and said in a flat voice, "Then get up, just in time for this afternoon's class."

Lin Xiaodong immediately returned to normal, and refused righteously: "Then there is no need, I think I have a disease that will die if I leave the bed."

Lin Pei and the boy with "sincere" written all over his face looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly let out a snort, pushed the wheelchair to the bedside, and poured him a glass of water.

"Thank you." Lin Xiaodong accepted it a little flattered.

"The physical fitness is too poor. It seems that I haven't exercised well at ordinary times." Lin Pei looked at the young man leaning on the bed, drinking water from the cup, and for some reason, he felt a sense of satisfaction from feeding the hamster.

He forced himself to ignore this feeling, tapped the handrail with his knuckles, and continued: "Besides, both the running posture and the way of breathing are completely wrong. Putting all these together, you actually almost ran the whole distance. It can barely make me take a high look at your perseverance."

"You can just say that I can't do anything purely by recklessness." Lin Xiaodong put down his cup and curled his lips. "I'm not good at running, and I don't like sports. But anyway..." He glanced With a glance at Lin Pei's legs that have been covered by blankets all year round, the meaning behind his words is already clear.

But Lin Pei was unexpectedly not angry.

"You compare with me?" He raised his eyebrows and said, "When I ran the fifteen kilometers for training, you probably weren't even born yet."

"Have you ever been a soldier?"

"It doesn't count as a soldier," Lin Pei said, "it's just training related to special forces."

That's not worth it! ?

Lin Xiaodong twitched the corners of his mouth, but he also felt a deep pity for the man from the bottom of his heart—he used to be an elite at the top of the pyramid in terms of physical strength, intelligence, and endurance, but now he can only be accompanied by wheelchairs and illnesses. This huge gap is enough to drive a normal person crazy.

"Can I ask you a question?" He thought for a while and asked.

"You ask," Lin Pei said, he seemed to have a surprisingly good temper today, "but I may not necessarily answer."

Lin Xiaodong didn't care either. In his opinion, this was Lin Pei's answer.He asked, "What happened to you that night?"

He was talking about the voice he heard when he came to the castle on the first day. Lin Pei was silent for a moment, just when Lin Xiaodong thought he would not answer, the man said flatly: "It's just a complication."

"Then why don't you ask the doctor to prescribe you some painkillers?"

Lin Xiaodong couldn't imagine the pain that even Lin Pei felt unbearable.

"Yes," Lin Pei remembered something, and there was a trace of sarcasm on Lin Pei's face, "Thanks to my good opponents, I not only almost stopped feeling pain, but also almost caused the drug to fail. Addiction, you can't quit for a lifetime."

Lin Xiaodong was speechless for a moment.

But Lin Pei didn't seem to have any intention of complaining about his miserable experience to outsiders, not to mention that in his eyes, the young man in front of him was just a stupid, stubborn brat who hadn't experienced much in the world.He asked calmly, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Did he take the wrong medicine today?Lin Xiaodong thought in disbelief.

But he still seized this rare opportunity and made a request that Ye Shiyuan would probably turn pale with fright on the spot if he heard it: "Can I see your legs?"

The voice fell, and the room was silent.

Lin Xiaodong quickly changed his words: "If you don't want to, forget it..." He leaned on the head of the bed, scratching his head in embarrassment, as if he wanted to explain that he didn't mean to offend, but Lin Pei just looked at it deeply. He glanced.

The man didn't say anything, and silently lifted the blanket covering his lap.

At first glance, there is nothing abnormal, because Lin Pei is still wearing a pair of black trousers.But when he bent down and slowly lifted up the trouser leg, revealing the pale and thin calf underneath, Lin Xiaodong's breathing couldn't help being suffocated.

It's not about how ugly it is. With the financial resources of the Lin family and Lin Pei's strong self-esteem, even if he is disabled, he can still maintain a relatively good state-but this is only compared to other patients with the same situation. Come on.

The man's legs did not appear deformed, and even if you only look at the calf, it can be called beautiful, which is very in line with the current white, young and thin aesthetics.However, when it is placed on a man whose height is close to 1.9 meters, it will only make people feel an absurd sense of disobedience.

Because this is not an effect that can be achieved by weight loss and exercise at all, but just unhealthy and slenderness caused by long-term muscle atrophy.

When Lin Xiaodong looked down, Lin Pei also kept staring at the expression on his face.

There was no sympathy on the young man's face, only doubts, and a bit of absent-minded thinking.

This can't help but make Lin Pei a little annoyed, and he can't help but laugh at him—he even took the initiative to expose his biggest unspeakable secrets, and this kid still dares to distract himself in front of him?

"What are you thinking?" But at the same time, he couldn't help asking curiously.

"I'm thinking..." Lin Xiaodong opened his mouth, but then took a quick look at him and closed his mouth, "Forget it, let's not talk about it."

Lin Pei frowned: "Say."

"Then you promise you won't be angry?"

The expression of the man in the wheelchair was unpredictable, Lin Xiaodong looked at him with some trepidation, after a while, Lin Pei nodded slowly.

"You say," he said calmly, "I promise not to be angry."

As for whether it will be settled after the autumn, that is not certain.

But the young man obviously believed it. He lifted the quilt cheerfully, raised his slender and straight legs in front of Lin Pei, and his white feet were still dangling in mid-air: "I was thinking, although I ran Fifteen kilometers away, but I still like my legs."

As he said that, he triumphantly gestured "Yeah" to the man with his thumb and toe, looking very aggressive.

Lin Pei: "..."

Well, the fist is hard.

Feeling a chill running up his back, Lin Xiaodong immediately withdrew his smile and looked at him vigilantly: "It's been agreed just now, don't be angry!"

"...I'm not angry." Lin Pei took a deep breath, and gave him a half-hearted smile.

The man pinched his brows, thinking what else could he expect from Lin Xiaodong, this brat will probably never know what it means to look at people.

But it is undeniable that Lin Xiaodong's carefree attitude made Lin Pei breathe a sigh of relief, and his back, which had been tense all the time, gradually relaxed.

"Just to let you know, because of the heavy rain yesterday, you were the only one who insisted on completing the punishment, so Ye Shiyuan decided to reward you with an extra fifty medals." Before Lin Xiaodong could be happy, Lin Pei's next words shattered him "However, you still haven't completed our bet, so according to the previous agreement, you have to promise me a request."

The young man sat on the bed blankly, heaved a long sigh, and showed an expression of self-consciousness.

"Tell me, what request?"

"Before that, I have to ask you a question." Lin Pei asked without answering, "About your own future, what dreams do you have?"

My dream is to get five good person cards as soon as possible, find someone surnamed Gu, sleep and run away, Lin Xiaodong thought with a blank expression.

Although the system repeatedly told him that Lin Pei in front of him was Gu Xi, the man's legs had no hope of recovery, and his functions were not affected...but Lin Xiaodong refused to accept this cruel fact.

Get his eight pack back!

However, in front of Lin Pei, the boy still replied obediently: "My idol is Van Gogh, and I want to be a great painter like him."

"Van Gogh..." Lin Pei frowned slightly, "That's why you suggested that I plant sunflowers outside the castle that night?"

"more or less."

"That's fine," Lin Pei frowned, and the corners of his lips slightly curled up, and suddenly showed him a dazzling smile, which made Lin Xiaodong a little dumbfounded for a moment, "My request is: from now on, Draw a sunflower every week and give it to me on Friday afternoon."

"It shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

Lin Xiaodong was dumb to eat Coptis chinensis, so he could only bite the bullet and agree: "Yes, yes, but what do you want my painting for?"

Lin Pei looked down at his legs.

"The height of the wheelchair is not enough." The man with eyes as big as the tip of a needle smiled slightly, turned the wheelchair and left calmly, "Draw a few more pictures, which are just right for feet."

Lin Xiaodong raised a vicious middle finger at his back.

"It's too bad!" Holding a pen, he sat in class and listened absently to the teacher in front of him, but couldn't help complaining to the system in his heart, "He's definitely not Gu Xi! Gu Xi wouldn't be like this!"

The system is all ears: "Which one?"

"Small-minded, teasing people, and jealous..." Lin Xiaodong said more and more wrongly, isn't this the impression that Gu Xi has always given people?

He propped his chin in boredom, clicked his tongue, and scribbled on the notes with his right hand.

"Lin Xiaodong!"

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, before Lin Xiaodong could react, the teacher snatched the notebook in front of him.

During the class, the drowsy children turned their heads, with expressions on their faces, and Lynch took the lead in laughing loudly.

Only the short-haired girl Lin Shanshan, who took the initiative to cooperate with Lin Xiaodong in the ghost hunting competition, held the pencil in her hand and cast a worried look at him.

"How many times have you lost your mind in class?" The teacher stared at him and criticized bitterly, "You've already received a penalty, but you still haven't restrained yourself! Don't listen to the class well, draw something messy in class— —" He looked at Lin Xiaodong's painting, and stopped abruptly in the middle of his speech.

Because what Lin Xiaodong drew was none other than Lin Pei.

To be exact, it was a man sitting in a wheelchair with a hint of Gu Xi in his eyes.

"...Forget it, it's not an example." The teacher moved his lips, put down the notebook in his hand, and under Lin Qi's disappointed eyes, he only warned Lin Xiaodong, and did not punish him further.

"Students, remember to clean up your desks before the next class begins," he stood on the podium, scanning the entire class with piercing eyes, "Also, you must show your best mental state, actively Speak! Because there will be people listening to the class later, and those who perform well will be rewarded, do you hear me?"

"heard it--"

Lin Xiaodong didn't want to answer at first, but the teacher on the stage glanced at him, so he could only sit down obediently.

After class, the boy immediately laid down on the seat without love, thinking that in this world he had already attended high school, but he still had to go to class with a group of junior high school students, it was a life worse than hell.

Lin Shining, who was sitting in front, glanced at him from afar, hesitated for a while, and then walked over on his own initiative.

"During the competition before," the little girl said to Lin Xiaodong in her usual mature tone, her calm appearance really didn't look like a teenager, "Actually, the more correct way would be for you to leave me and run away. In this way, before Teacher Ye catches you, at least you still have a chance to get more medals. The value of sacrificing me is much greater than yours."

"It's just a game, and I didn't expect so much at the time." Lin Xiaodong raised his head, "So you are here to criticize me?"

"No!" Lin Shining immediately denied it. She blinked her eyes quickly, seeming to avoid the young man's gaze in embarrassment, "I just want to thank you. Never..." She took a deep breath, her voice trembling Trembling, "No one has ever been willing to stand in front of me."

"Ding, good person card +1."

Lin Xiaodong frowned, wondering what kind of life this little girl lived in the past, but the system quickly answered his doubts: "She is a collateral branch of the Lin family, and her parents divorced when she was eight years old. No one wants to take care of her, so it can be regarded as growing up with relatives."

Lin Xiaodong understood.

The girl who has just entered junior high school is the age when she lacks love, and it is obvious that Lin Xixi has a very strong personality.

Unlike him, he is salty and big-hearted.

"You're welcome." He smiled at the little girl, took out a piece of coin chocolate from his pocket and handed it to her. He brought it from Lin Pei's room. Men don't eat it anyway, so it's just a decoration. "This is for you, just to celebrate our happy cooperation."

"chocolate!?"

Lin Xingxuan exclaimed, and his eyes instantly lit up with a light of surprise.

With the medal system in the castle, candies and snacks are extravagant things, and she hasn't tasted chocolate for a long time.Under the envious eyes of the children around, she peeled off the outer packaging of the chocolate, put it into her mouth in front of them, and showed Lin Xiaodong a lovely smile with crooked eyebrows.

Lin Pei, who was pushed to the classroom by Ye Shiyuan, saw this scene as soon as he looked up. The man's expression remained unchanged, but his lips could not help but pursed.

"Remember to add a clause to the rules," he said in a low voice, looking at the back of the boy sitting on the seat, "in the castle, puppy love is prohibited."

Ye Shiyuan: "...Yes."

But he thought to himself, this rule probably doesn't apply to Lin Xiaodong.

Because in a few days, the boy will be 18 years old, so naturally he is not a puppy love.

"I wish I had a daughter like this." However, Lin Xiaodong, who still knew nothing about Lin Pei's arrival, was still sighing to the system, "It's a pity, I like men."

System: "Actually, if you really want to, I can also apply to the headquarters and let you go to the world of boys and girls to do tasks."

Like the mermaid world before, if it wasn't for the reproductive/reproductive isolation, with Gu Xi's rigorous research attitude towards various postures, maybe all the little mermaids born would run all over the place.

Lin Xiaodong: "...Thank you, no need."

He didn't know why, but suddenly shivered.And when Lin Xiaodong turned his head and saw the black-haired man sitting in the wheelchair, he finally understood where the feeling came from just now—good guy, it really was you!

Although he wanted to go over and ask Lin Pei why he was so idle recently, but at this time the teacher had already entered, in desperation, Lin Xiaodong could only turn around and listen to the teacher on the podium bursting out with incomparable passion, impassioned start teaching them.

Halfway through the class, Lin Xiaodong's eyelids began to fight uncontrollably again.

He rested his head on his elbows, half-closed his eyes and looked forward, trying not to fall asleep.The teacher who was in class saw him like this, then looked at Lin Pei who was slowly coming from behind pushing the wheelchair, and decided wisely to just pretend he didn't see anything and go to his class on his own.

Lin Pei pushed the wheelchair and came behind Lin Xiaodong. Looking at the young man with the words "I'm so sleepy" exuding even from his back and looking extraordinarily energetic after class, he couldn't help curling his lips, feeling slowly in his heart. I had an idea.

Lin Xiaodong was in a daze when suddenly a big hand with well-articulated bones stretched out from the left back and took away his notebook that was placed on the table.

In an instant, the sleepiness in his head was swept away, and he turned around suddenly, and he saw the man in the wheelchair looking down at his notes with a calm expression.Lin Xiaodong took a deep breath, quickly glanced at the teacher who was still in class, and said in a low voice, "Give it back to me!"

Lin Pei didn't raise his head: "Take your class."

But when he turned to the portrait painted by Lin Xiaodong in the previous class, he paused unconsciously.Lin Xiaodong took this opportunity and snatched his notebook from him.

"Who allowed you to watch it?" The boy glared at him angrily, his cheeks flushed a little.

I don't know if it was because of anger or shame, but the boy's piercing eyes were as bright as if they had been washed by water. Lin Pei was stunned for a moment, staring at him blankly, without speaking for a long time.

It wasn't until Ye Shiyuan came over that he slowly lowered his eyes and said, "Sorry."

Lin Xiaodong, who didn't expect Lin Pei to apologize, choked on his chest, unable to get up or down.

"Forget it, I'm not as knowledgeable as you." He turned around muttering, Ye Shiyuan was so angry that Ye Shiyuan shuddered and hit him on the head: "How did you talk!"

"Patriarch, do you want to continue watching?" He asked Lin Pei.

The man shook his head: "No, let's go back."

Ye Shiyuan responded, and pushed Lin Pei out of the classroom under the slightly disappointed gaze of the teacher.

Pushing the wheelchair through the sunny corridor, Ye Shiyuan was afraid that Lin Pei would be angry, so he took the initiative to say a few words for Lin Xiaodong: "Xiaodong is just naughty, Patriarch, don't be as knowledgeable as him."

The man didn't answer.

So Ye Shiyuan asked again: "These children have been in the castle for almost a month. Patriarch, do you have any favorites? The second stage of training will start soon, and I will ask the supervisor to pay more attention."

After a moment of silence, Lin Pei turned his head, looked at the barren garden outside the castle, and suddenly asked without thinking:

"You said, don't sunflowers that grow in the sun only chase the sun?"

Ye Shiyuan was stunned for a moment, and replied with some puzzlement: "It should be... At least I only know that sunflowers have a positive orientation, and they will always grow in the direction of the sun. At night, they will slowly swing back."

"Then what if there is no sun?" Lin Pei persistently asked.

"It will definitely die. Let alone sunflowers, without the sun, no plant can survive." Ye Shiyuan became more and more confused. Why did Lin Pei keep asking this question that even elementary school students know? ?

"...That's it."

Lin Pei lowered his head, his eyes calmly fell on his knees, and suddenly said to Ye Shiyuan: "You go back first. I want to sit here alone."

Ye Shiyuan didn't doubt him, and agreed.

But when he turned to leave, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lin Pei sitting in a wheelchair looking at the scenery outside the window quietly. The sunlight cast a dividing line on the floor tiles in front of him. Although the man in the shadow couldn't see his expression clearly, But it gives people an indescribable loneliness and loneliness.

Ye Shiyuan's footsteps stopped.

He stood there for a few seconds, and finally turned around and walked towards the classroom.
