The school is located in the city center with extremely convenient transportation. Seeing that I was in so much pain that I couldn't speak, Sun Yu immediately ran out of the classroom, called a taxi outside the school, and took me to the hospital.
All the glass shards on his body had been removed, and all the injuries were superficial, except for a fractured ankle, which had to be put in a cast.
The medical expenses were all paid by Sun Yu. She hid the bill and didn't show it to me. But I guessed it was not a small amount. The X-ray alone cost several hundred yuan.
After we came out of the plaster cast, it was already dark. The head teacher called Sun Yu several times, asking us where we had been if we were not attending evening self-study. Sun Yu told us the truth. The head teacher was very worried and told us not to rush back. If we needed to be hospitalized, we should tell her and she would help us tell the dormitory supervisor.
It was just that I had difficulty walking. The injuries on my body were not serious and there was no need for me to be hospitalized. But Sun Yu insisted that I stay for one night to check on the situation. Anyway, she paid for it, so I didn't have to worry.
"Jian Lening, the teacher has already said that you should just stay for one night. A broken bone is no small matter, and 'it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone' is not a nonsense. I'll feel bad if you don't stay. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be injured. Just stay for one night!"
Looking at Sun Yu's red eyes, I didn't know what to say. Finally, the bone-setting doctor said that there was no need to be hospitalized, but that the foot should not be moved too much and it would be best to lie down and rest for a month.
It's impossible for me to lie down and recuperate. I still have to go to school. If I take a month off, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up. After all, high school is different from junior high school. I have to study nine subjects at the same time. Just thinking about it makes me feel suffocated.
"It's impossible to go to class. Buy a pair of crutches. Walk on your own and have someone else support you. Just don't put too much force on the injured leg. Come back to the hospital in two days. I'll check if the plaster is tied properly. If it's not tied properly and it swells up, you'll have to re-tie it."
Since the doctor said so, Sun Yu no longer insisted on having me hospitalized. He immediately went out and bought me a pair of crutches, then helped me out of the hospital and hailed a taxi back to school.
When I got back, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening and the evening self-study class was over.
As soon as the guard saw it was us, he opened the gate and drove all the way to the dormitory building.
On the way, Sun Yu called Tang Yu and asked them to come down and help me go upstairs.
After getting off the car, I leaned on the crutches that Sun Yu bought for me and looked up at the dormitory building. Fortunately, we lived on the third floor, not the highest seventh floor, otherwise, climbing stairs every day would be the death of me.
Someone stomped his feet at the stairs, and the voice-controlled light came on, and then Tang Yu, who had been waiting there for a while, was seen.
"Why are you alone? Where are they?"
Sun Yu held my arm with one hand and my shoulder with the other, and asked the girl in the bear pajamas, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.
Tang Yu walked over slowly, took the medicine from Sun Yu's hand, and said calmly: "He Yiran is the representative of the physics class. As soon as the evening self-study ended, she was called to the physics teacher's office to register her grades. The first two classes tonight were all replaced by physics classes for the exam. Wang Hong accompanied her. What happened to you? How did you get hurt like this? Weren't you fine when I left?"
"I accidentally stepped on a glass bottle and fell down." I answered out loud, without mentioning the group of people looking for Sun Yu.
Sun Yu looked at me in astonishment, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
I think she definitely doesn't want anyone to know about that. After all, it's not a good thing and it wouldn't look good if it got out.
"You're so unlucky, Jian Lening." Tang Yu looked at me with sympathy.
Sun Yu rolled his eyes at her and said, "Come over and help me. It's so late and we have to go to school tomorrow!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? I'm waiting for someone! Look, someone is coming." Tang Yu smiled as he looked behind us.
Sun Yu and I turned around in confusion and saw Lin Jiarui rushing towards us from the direction of the boys' dormitory.
"Jian Lening, why is your foot like this? It's in a cast!" Lin Jiarui ran to us in one breath, asking me while panting.
Before I could even open my mouth, Tang Yu hit Lin Jiarui on the shoulder and said, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and help carry the person up!"
I was stunned for a moment. I didn't expect Tang Yu to call Lin Jiarui for help.
"How do you know my foot is injured? Did you come to see me at night?" I asked Lin Jiarui.
Lin Jiarui nodded and answered while changing seats with Sun Yu: "I had something to do with you in the evening, and when I saw you were not there, I happened to run into Tang Yu. She said you went to the hospital, and that's when I found out."
"Oh." I responded with understanding and put my hand on Lin Jiarui's shoulder.
Lin Jiarui carried me up much faster than Sun Yu and the others could support me, but I didn’t know if he could carry me.
"Jian Lening, don't you usually eat? You're so light."
I just felt my feet go empty and I was carried by Lin Jiarui. When I heard his snorting sound, I felt relieved and glad that I was not fat.
"Don't dawdle, hurry up and leave. It will be over if the dormitory supervisor sees you. Boys can't enter the girls' dormitory. Run faster now while there are fewer people around."
Sun Yu urged from behind, and Tang Yu took the lead and walked in front to lead the way for us.
Although Lin Jiarui
"Special situation, special situation! Lin Jiarui, close your eyes quickly!" Tang Yu greeted everyone awkwardly and stretched out his hand to cover Lin Jiarui's eyes.
I struggled to climb down from Lin Jiarui's back, and my fingers accidentally touched his face. His face was incredibly hot, as if he was shy.
I always thought that Lin Jiarui was a shameless boy, but I didn’t expect that he could also be shy. I couldn’t help but sneer in my heart.
Sun Yu saw that I was about to get off the couch and handed me the crutch. I held the crutch in one hand, and I didn't have time to grab the second crutch with the other hand, so I had to lean on his shoulder to prevent my right foot in plaster from touching the ground.
"Why doesn't he leave?"
"Let him go now! He still needs to hang out his clothes!"
…
Many girls on the same floor finally couldn't help blushing and said, hearing the noise, some girls who hadn't come out of the dormitory also curiously stuck their heads out to look at us.
"Jian Lening, I'm leaving first. I'll see you tomorrow." Lin Jiarui said to me with a red face.
I looked at him with a smile and waved my hand: "Let's go. If you don't leave now, others will probably chase you away."
Tang Yu and the others laughed along, and Lin Jiarui turned into the corridor as if escaping and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
It was a long time after he left, and the girls on our floor hadn't recovered yet. The shy girls scolded Tang Yu for not informing him in advance that a boy was coming in.
Tang Yu teased, "Isn't this a surprise for you? He is a handsome guy after all!"
I sat on Sun Yu's bed and drank hot water. Sun Yu prepared the water for me to wash. In addition, Sun Yu took the initiative to exchange beds with me. I slept in her bed for a while because I couldn't climb to the upper bunk with my feet.
I feel embarrassed to always trouble Sun Yu like this, but Sun Yu said that if I don't let her do it, she will feel very uncomfortable, after all, she is also responsible for what happened.
I felt helpless. No matter what, she didn't do this on purpose. If that girl named Ji Hang hadn't used her name, this wouldn't have happened.
Many things in this world cannot be predicted, we can only say that we are destined to have this disaster.
Lin Jiarui left in such a hurry that I forgot to ask him what he wanted to talk to me about. If Tang Yu hadn't sneaked up to my bed and talked to me about Lin Jiarui, I would have forgotten about it altogether.
Tang Yu asked me, "Jian Lening, are you and Lin Jiarui really just good friends? Are you not in a relationship?"
I didn't understand why she suddenly asked me this, but I still answered honestly: "Lin Jiarui and I are really just pure friends." And there were several times when we almost stopped being friends.
But I didn't say this because I didn't want others to ask about our past. Lin Jiarui and I both have scars in our past that we don't want to be revealed.
Tang Yu didn't ask any more questions, but just told me as if he had made up his mind: "Jian Lening, since you and Lin Jiarui are not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, then I will pursue him. I like him very much."
I looked at Tang Yu in astonishment, unable to speak for a long time. Tang Yu thought I had no objection, so he smiled and went back to his bed to play with his phone.
I lay on Sun Yu's bed, looking at the bunk above me, feeling a tightness in my chest.
I didn't tell Tang Yu that Lin Jiarui had nothing to do with me because he liked someone for ten years, and that person was An Xiaoduo.
The next day.
In the morning, it was Sun Yu who helped me to the classroom again. It was actually not too difficult to walk on flat ground because I could use a crutch without much difficulty. But when going up the stairs, if no one helped me, I couldn't stand steadily on one foot.
Sun Yu helped me during the day, and I couldn't always ask Lin Jiarui to carry me back to the dormitory at night. After all, it was not good for a boy to go to the girls' dormitory and let the teacher know. But I felt embarrassed to always trouble Sun Yu. Finally, Tang Yu took the initiative to offer to walk with us at night and help Sun Yu carry me.
Although we had a conflict before and have reconciled, I still have some resentment in my heart. However, I did not refuse her help because I really needed help.
At noon, Sun Yu prepared lunch and brought it to the classroom for me so that I could walk less.
I didn't see Lin Jiarui come to see me until the afternoon. Instead, Tang Yu went to their class to see him. I don't know what they talked about.
Ever since Tang Yu told me last night that she was going to pursue Lin Jiarui, I feel conflicted whenever I see Tang Yu. I don’t know whether I should tell her about Lin Jiarui and An Xiaoduo.
I know that if Lin Jiarui can't get out of An Xiaoduo's circle, Tang Yu will definitely be hurt. But feelings are other people's private affairs. What can I, an outsider, say to them?
After thinking it over, I still didn't say anything.
The second class in the afternoon ended , and then came the physical education class.
I didn't wait for Lin Jiarui, but I waited for Xu Yan.
We haven't met since he gave me money last time, but I often hear people talking about him.
For example, "Xu Yan from Class 9 led others to fight again, and his handsome face was scratched", "Xu Yan from Class 9 caused trouble again? I saw his disciplinary notice at the entrance of the corridor", "Xu Yan from Class 9 is so arrogant. The freshman dared to beat up the senior students. A group of senior students went to his class to settle the score, and there was a big commotion upstairs" ...
All kinds of comments are about Xu Yan from Class 9.
I have always been worried, afraid that one day Xu Yan's name would be linked to me, afraid that people would follow the clues and dig up our past. What I worry about most is that everyone will know that I have been hurt by Xu Yan.
So I tried to avoid Xu Yan as much as possible, for fear of giving people a chance to talk about me.
When Xu Yan came to find me, I was the only one in the classroom. Everyone else had gone to physical education class, but I couldn't go because my foot was injured.
It was originally class time, but Xu Yan walked into our classroom openly and went straight to my seat.
I guess he must have skipped class again.
When I saw him approaching, my heart reflexively tightened . I was afraid that a classmate might suddenly come back and run into him looking for me. I wouldn’t know how to explain our relationship then.
"Isn't your class physical education? Why didn't you go to class?"
Xu Yan walked around to my desk, pulled out the stool of the classmate in front of me and sat down, with his hands in his trouser pockets, and asked me.
I pursed my lips, feeling my throat was very dry, and after a long while I spoke: "My foot is injured, so I can't go to the physical education class."
Hearing this, Xu Yan lowered his head and looked at my feet. Seeing the thick plaster on them, he frowned and said, "It's been such a short time since we last met, and you've already disabled yourself! Jian Lening, I didn't expect you to be so capable of doing so much!"
My eyes swept across the scratch on the corner of his eye, and when I met his gaze, I quickly turned my head away awkwardly without saying anything else.
I have never been used to being alone with Xu Yan, whether before or after that incident.
I felt like a trapped cub in front of Xu Yan. No matter where I escaped, he would find a way to catch me and he would definitely catch me.
"These are for you. I've saved my number. I'll contact you if there's anything. I've saved some money in the card. You guys sell insurance, right? Go home next week and help me pay for that person's medical insurance and pension insurance. If you don't have enough money, call me. I can't leave next week." Xu Yan ignored my thoughts and put a mobile phone and a bank card in front of me and said.
I looked at him in astonishment, speechless for a moment.
"This is her ID number and household registration information. It will be needed when applying for insurance." Xu Yan picked up the pen on my desk and wrote on my draft book, speaking in a flat tone.
His handwriting was surprisingly elegant and beautiful. I looked at the paper covered with words and felt extremely confused.
Xu Yan came to me and asked me to help him and support his biological mother, but I was a little nervous. It was not that I didn't want to help, but the person who asked me to help was Xu Yan. I didn't want to have too much contact with Xu Yan, because I couldn't forget the nightmare he brought me, and I was even more afraid that other people would know about it.
After looking at Xu Yan's profile for a long time, I sighed deeply, and finally compromised and said, "I will help you with the insurance, but you can take your phone back. I'll write down your number and call you if I have anything. There's no need to take your phone."
I took the note written by Xu Yan and put it together with the bank card on the table, then pushed the silver mobile phone in front of him and looked out the window again, fearing that someone would suddenly pass by or suddenly come back and see us.
"Take it, it's not a new phone." Xu Yan stood up from the stool, stared at me and said, then picked up the phone, suddenly bent down and stuffed the phone into the chest pocket of my denim shirt.
His face gradually got bigger in front of me, my heart beat faster and my face started to feel hot for no reason.
Putting aside the past, Xu Yan is indeed a very good-looking boy.
In my impression, Qixuan has always been the best-looking boy. He is like clear water, so clean that people cannot bear to touch him, as if touching him would be a blasphemy to him.
Lin Jiarui is another good-looking boy. When he was a child, he was like white tofu, moist and moist, and a little more lovely than now. However, he was too restless. Many people only saw his restless emotions but not his tofu-like heart - Lin Jiarui's heart was actually very soft.
Xu Yan is like ink. He has a baby face and is obviously very handsome, but like ink, he is impossible to see through.
In fact, it’s not just Xu Yan, but also Lin Jiarui and Qi Xuan who left, I didn’t see through any of them.
Qixuan was someone I particularly wanted to see through, but he was unwilling to show himself to me. I was so tired that I didn’t have the energy to look anymore.
Lin Jiarui is the person I least want to see through, because ever since I just started to feel emotionally connected, he has always labeled himself as An Xiaoduo, and I never like to touch other people's things.
And Xu Yan is the person I dare not see through the most. I am afraid that the more I see, the deeper I will be sucked into the vortex in his eyes.
"I've lost weight, but my breasts haven't gotten smaller."
A warm breath sprayed on my face, and the boy's sneering voice brought my thoughts back.
I felt like I got an electric shock. I quickly put my arms around my chest and looked warily at Xu Yan, who was smiling at me. My whole body was burning with heat.
Once again I felt humiliated by him. He always found it easy to humiliate me.
