The first thing you need to do is to get a new status reminder from Long Qi, who has just left the hotel, and Bai Aiting has updated a sentence: Today is my birthday.
There is no pretend affectionate expression nor put any photos, five words a punctuation mark, not her style but the closest to her real look, write to whom, what mood to write, at a glance.
This time Long Qi did not choke on anything.
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things.
Just like Bai Aiting must now know that Jin Yiken came to see her.
The mist from the rain covered the screen of her phone, her shoulders and shoes were drenched, she put her phone away and looked up at the sky, grey as the night when she was first brought into the hotel by Jin Yiken.
It was raining all night long.
On Tuesday, the weather cleared up, and after gym class and the classes were dismissed for their own activities, most of the girls gathered in the shade of the playground, and Long Qi walked up to the bleachers alone.
She rested her elbows on the guardrail, unwrapped a box of yogurt in her hands, and fiddled with the straw while looking bored at the playground, at the pile of girls under the shade, and then at Dong Xi in the pile of girls.
A soccer ball smashed violently at this time, Long Qi's hand just half-unpacked yogurt fell off, along with the soccer ball fell to the bottom of the bleachers, her hand was smashed raw, her uniform was also dirty, frowning at the playground, Jin Yiken in the distance while slowly walking backwards to look at her, hands are making hand gestures for someone to pick up the ball.
"Muddy ball." She whispered.
She looked over and saw that it was Zhuo Qing. She took a breath and turned around to walk in his opposite direction.
But Zhuo Qing called out to her.
She turned her back on him and rolled her eyes, turning back with scant patience as he asked, "Did it hurt you?"
"You didn't smash it, why do you have to ask, let the bastard apologize to me."
Said continued to walk, Zhuo Qing once again called her.
"Do what ah!" The anger instantly shifted from Jin Yiken to Zhuo Qing, his voice increased in degree, the boy who ran to pick up the ball under the bleachers looked up here, and the girls in the shade not far away also noticed over.
His face had a kind of helplessness, and some anxiety from getting her in a bad mood, Long Qi pressed a breath and lowered his voice: "What else do you want to tell me?"
Zhuo Qing was silent for a while, and finally the words came out of his mouth and finally became a sentence: "The skin on your hand is scraped, go to the infirmary and apply some salve, go by yourself, you should not want me to accompany."
This state of such words naturally makes the state of affairs in the direction of indecisiveness, she said, "Zhuo Qing you know, I hate is that you heart one set of mouth one set, you have to be so concerned about me, what exactly do you want to say originally?"
"I want to talk about what you have already answered," he put his hands into his pants pocket, "want to ask what you really hate about me, and, last year, why broke up with me."
Then laughed bitterly, "So I was too concerned about you."
Long Qi finished listening and turned to go.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you're doing. The group of girls who were discussing "physiological pain" were talking around another person.
A few more steps forward, only from this perspective to see the group of girls Dong Xi, her right hand is covering her abdomen, in the surrounding people's whispers gently shake their heads, face a little more white than usual.
Long Qi looked while walking towards that side, the pile of people happened to be considering whether to send Dong Xi to the infirmary.
"I'll send it."
When she spoke, the wind stopped just in time, the sound of leaves pattering overhead also stopped, the girls took a break from the heated discussion and all looked at her, she also happened to stand in front of the group of girls, the scene fell into a sudden and unspeakable quiet confrontation, only Dong Xi looked at the ground obliviously, she was holding the guardrail with one hand to support her body, seemingly in real pain, so much pain that she didn't even hear the words, naturally not looking at her.
"I'm going to the infirmary too," Long Qi perfunctorily held up his right wrist, which had scraped the skin, to show them, "on the way."
But someone soon returned, "No need, the two of us will just take it with us, don't bother you."
The words revealed scruples about her as well as protection for Dong Xi, then the two girls played a pair of eyes and helped Dong Xi pass in front of Long Qi.
"No delivery in the morning." She whispered, putting her hands back in her coat pocket and walking behind the three.
The infirmary is on the ground floor of a faculty building to the north of the school. When they entered, there was only a male school nurse named Lu inside, and Dong Xi was helped to sit on the edge of the bed first.
Dr. Yan is the other female school doctor in the infirmary.
When she asked, the two girls realized the inconvenience of communicating with a male doctor in this area. Dr. Lu said, "Dr. Yan recently took maternity leave, and the replacement female doctor will not arrive until next month.
He said while looking at Dong Xi, probably saw something, did not wait for an answer smiled and said, "It's okay, drink some brown sugar water, stay here to rest for a while, if it is not possible, I will contact your parents to take you home to rest, how is it? Dong Xi."
She nodded.
The two girls helped her lie down on the bed and covered her with the quilt. Dr. Lu then looked at Long Qi: "What about you? Long Qi."
"Just give me a band-aid."
"Hand scraped?"
He picked up her hand, and when he looked down to survey it, Long Qi looked at him too.
He then gave her the band-aid while the two girls went back to class, and while he made the brown sugar water, Long Qi wandered around in front of the medicine cabinet, his words still containing his innate smile: "Still not going?"
She doesn't reply, watching his back from the reflection of the medicine cabinet glass.
Dr. Lu turned around and walked towards Dong Xi's bed with a cup of brown sugar water, he pulled the bed curtain all around him and then entered the bed, Long Qi stared at his figure through the screenman - he sat on the edge of the bed and helped Dong Xi up, gave her sugar water and then later helped her sleep and covered her with the blanket.
He came out and pulled the bed curtain tight, and gave a glance towards Long Qi's attention, "What, want to skip class?"
She still did not answer, lowered her head to open the band-aid, put the sticky side to the wrist broken skin, and then tore it with force, the wound surface of the broken skin became bigger, this process she only gently breathed backwards, then turned and said, "It seems to be infected."
Dr. Lu looked over.
The end of a chair to sit down, will hand to him to apply salve, Dong Xi has fallen asleep at this time, Long Qi to one hand propped up forehead, look at his head down to apply medicine look.
The corners of his mouth kept smiling as he asked, "Do you want to skip gym class too?"
"It's not the same where you take gym class."
He nodded his head.
The atmosphere in the infirmary was quiet, only the creaking sound of the swivel chair turning and the sound of the bottom of the medicine bottle clinking against the desktop, Dong Xi's sleeping breath was so quiet that he could barely hear the movement, Long Qi said, "Dr. Lu."
"Hmm?"
"Just now when you gave her a drink of water, you could have asked me to help."
He did not raise his head: "How can you help me when your hand is injured."
"A small injury, didn't you look at it at first, holding my hand very carefully and looking at it."
He applied the salve, blew on her wrist, and said, "Are you eager to help me? Long Qi."
"When there's only one male school nurse and two female students in a room, of course I'm happy to help pick up a physically sore student rather than have a weakly conscious her leaning on the male school nurse's shoulder."
Long Qi said this with a slow tone and her attention on her wrist as usual, Dr. Lu's hand movements paused and raised her eyes to look at her.
"Dr. Lu, the ratio of male to female students in this school of ours is 1:2, with half as many girls, do you know what this will produce?"
"Hmm?" He responded so.
"There are half as many girls who love to spread gossip the most, so the result is that there are usually twice as many inexplicable remarks in our school than in other schools, among them, for example, the tall and handsome male doctor in the school infirmary actually particularly likes to have skin-to-skin contact with female students."
When the words fell, the skin of his hand suddenly pulled away from the skin of her arm by a tiny distance, no longer close, also subtly felt the heat of sweat rising from his hand, Long Qi raised his eyes to look at him, he was putting the cotton swabs coated with medicine into the trash.
Dong Xi is asleep, not awake.
He said in a joking tone, "It seems that they have misunderstood me a little."
She also said in a joking tone, "Yeah, they even said I have a dragon tattooed on my back."
He lifted his head to look at her, Dragon 7's wound had been treated, she twisted her wrist and slowly sat against the back of the chair, not the least bit shy to look at him.
Soon, he smiled again, shaped like a leather smile: "Long Qi you like to joke, this habit is not good."
"Sorry Dr. Lu, I'm really too bored, by the way can I stay until the end of class and then leave, feel a little weak."
Returned quickly, eyes not leaving his face for a second, while fingers slowly tapping the armrest of the chair.
He first retreated from this sight, got up and said, "I'll go call Dong Xi's parents, Long Qi you can stay here, but you have to go back to class after the next bell rings, otherwise I'll have to inform your class teacher if I come back and see you're still there."
"Okay."
He went away.
After he left, Long Qi pulled back the corner of the bed curtain, moved the chair gently to the edge of the bed and sat down.
The bed curtain was white, and the beaten light produced a sense of transparency on Dong Xi's side face; the first button of her shirt was loose, quietly open in the shallow breath of sleep, and Long Qi fastened it for her.
It wasn't open when she first arrived.
She sighed, tying the button with a very light and small force, Dong Xi did not wake up.
After that, they stayed here, Dong Xi slept, Long Qi watched her sleep, nearly half of the class, the bell rang, and the sound of people came from outside the infirmary.
I can vaguely identify the footsteps of more than two people, among them the voice of the surnamed Lu talking, Long Qi walked behind the medicine cabinet before they came in, did not let the surnamed Lu see her.
She saw their faces in the mirror in the corner of the infirmary, and recognized them at once because Dong Xi had put their pictures on her campus account, and the couple's artistic atmosphere was even stronger than in the pictures, and they were extremely similar to Dong Xi.
They entered the bed and whispered "Xi Xi", then the mother helped Dong Xi, and the father put on her shoes, her face still white, her consciousness half awake, half fuzzy, being taken care of in every way.
The two stayed with Dr. Lu for a few more words of courtesy before taking Dong Xi away, and Dr. Lu sent them out.
Long Qi came out of the infirmary only after the people had left and the tea was cold.
It was already noon, the sun shone on the faraway family, she squinted at it, so absorbed that she didn't notice the person leaning against the wall next to the infirmary, she looked at it for as long as he looked at her, then he bounced the soccer ball in his hand on the ground, with a "pang" sound, the soccer ball bounced from the ground to the hem of Long Qi's skirt, she abruptly looked at him.
"Envious of her, huh?" Ken's eyes were fixed on her, one hand in the pocket of his sweatpants, elbow facing Dong Xi, slowly said, "What's there to envy, I can give you what she has."
Long Qi collected his eyes, kicked the bouncing soccer ball by his feet gently away, distant class bell rang, an empty space in front of the infirmary building, only she and he two, she put her hands into her outer jacket pockets.
"Just now Zhuo Qing approached me and asked about why he broke up with him last year."
He deliberately kept quiet as she continued, "Remember the night you picked me up from in front of Long Xinyi's neighborhood, Jin Yiken, that was the next day I broke up with Zhuo Qing."
"You sent the breakup text in front of me." He added.
"Then do you remember what I said to you after I sent the text message?"
He slanted his forehead slightly.
"I said, although I am not moral where to go, but at least do not do a foot in two boats, but where I have someone else mentally or physically, absolutely a knife to the feelings cut off painfully, only to stay what should stay, and I since I have a relationship with you must be broken with Zhuo Qing, never keep ambiguous and coupling, you just watch and learn it scum. "
Original words.
Jin Yiken just smiled, as if he enjoyed hearing his words from her mouth, but also due to the memory of Zhuo Qing chasing her for a year and a half but was pried away by him in a week "great achievement", rare happy to listen to her continue to say.
She then pulled back and said, "I'm not jealous of Dong Xi, Jin Yiken."
The sun was shining diagonally over Ken's shoulders and hers, and the bell rang for the second time, so she looked at him over the sharp ring and continued, "I want her."
...
"Just like you used to want me."
