Chapter 27 "What if He Runs Away"

[Xiao Zhou, you haven't looked for me for a long time. 】

Ji Shizhou was in class when he received the text message. He swiped his phone open to read as if no one else was there, and tapped his fingers on the screen to enlarge the line of words.

The roommate sitting next to him couldn't help but ask, "You haven't reconciled with Fang Ji yet, what's the reason this time?"

Ji Shizhou tapped the screen again to exit the interface, and answered the roommate's question: "He wants to find me a girlfriend."

Later, Jiang Xinrou approached Ji Shizhou and asked him if he was in a cold war with Fang Ji again, or if he was unilateral.

Ji Shizhou ignored her, Jiang Xinrou closed his notebook, and then he looked up at the girl.

"Chi Jie told me that Fang Ji has been absent-minded these days."

"What stage has the two of you developed that he tells you everything?" Ji Shizhou asked.

Jiang Xinrou pulled a chair away from him and sat down. The library was very quiet, so she could only lower her voice: "Don't worry about it."

A warm smile appeared on Ji Shizhou's mouth, and then quickly turned cold again, "Don't worry about it."

Jiang Xinrou didn't leave, watching Ji Shizhou turn on the computer again, and the digital pen danced quickly on the board.She knew before that painting requires talent, and so does creation. She belongs to the class of people who have spent a lot of effort and squeezed their heads to pass the exam.But Ji Shizhou is not, he is naturally sensitive to those colors, and he is born to eat this bowl of rice.

"What do you like about Chi Jie?" Ji Shizhou asked casually, probably out of boredom.

Jiang Xinrou turned her head slightly, "What are you looking at at Fang Ji?"

Some people always mistakenly think that the two of them are a couple, and even now this misunderstanding has not been completely resolved.

Every time at this time, Jiang Xinrou wants to make the cry in her heart aloud: We used to be rivals in love, but now we can't be called comrades-in-arms!

When she first entered college, when she learned that she and Ji Shizhou were in the same class in the same college, her eyes went dark.

I thought that I would pass the exam and get into the promising Xunfeng Academy of Fine Arts, far away from that dreary and cramped small county, so that the past could be put aside.

But the appearance of Ji Shizhou made her realize that it is impossible, no one can easily throw away memories, even if the pain does not belong to her, she is only a bystander.

Unlike Yan Kai, she is a local, she is too aware of those gossips, those suffocating winks and criticisms in that small town, everyone is living numbly, life can not see a trace of color, so she tries to escape. Come out and run far away.

As a result, fate is a circle, and people who should meet will always meet again.

When she saw Ji Shizhou, she thought, then she also has a chance to meet Fang Ji.

Jiang Xinrou still remembered that in the last month of her first year of high school, she hadn't seen Fang Ji for a long time, and couldn't help asking people, but she heard that he asked for leave and didn't even take the final exam.

Jiang Xinrou intuitively felt that this matter was related to Ji Shizhou.

Because the young man's face became even more stinky at that time, and he looked impatient with everyone. When she finally got up the courage to ask Ji Shizhou what happened, the young man's gaze was like a warm ruler, turning her up and down. Measured over and over.

It was at that time that she exposed her feelings in front of Ji Shizhou and was caught by him.

"He's in the hospital." The boy replied indifferently.

"What's wrong with him?" she asked hastily.

"Broken right leg." Speaking of this, Ji Shizhou also became anxious, "What else do you want to ask, can you get out of the way if you have nothing to do? It's blocking the way."

There are many things that Jiang Xinrou doesn't know. What she didn't know back then doesn't mean she didn't know later.

The small town can't hide secrets, she heard it from her parents and Grandma Wang downstairs.

Fang Ji's leg was broken by his stepfather, because Fang Ji took outsiders to beat up his stepfather, and the disturbance was very unpleasant.In the evening, Xu's house was brightly lit, and there were sounds of beating and beating.

Fang Ji asked for leave the next day and didn't go to class again.

"Hey, you said that kid from the Xu family is the same, why let an outsider meddle in the affairs of his own family, isn't it adding to the chaos."

The voice in Jiang Xinrou's heart screamed again, because too many people said such things, and for a while she even felt that it was Ji Shizhou's fault, if only he didn't help, Fang Ji wouldn't so badly injured.

When the second year of high school started, the relationship between the two people changed.

Fang Ji recuperated for two full months, and his legs were almost healed. He appeared at the gate of their school and brought Ji Shizhou a popsicle that was almost melting. you."

Ji Shizhou took it, "I don't like the smell of taro."

Fang Ji was stunned for a moment, Ji Shizhou raised his eyes, "Buy me an apple next time."

How could there be such an unreasonable person.

Fang Ji should have smeared popsicles on his face at that time.

But Fang Ji didn't do that, he nodded lightly, "Okay, but do you have apple-flavored ice cream?"

What Jiang Xinrou didn't know was that Xu Hao made the best of things. He knew that Ji Shizhou was Ji Guohua's son, and he entrusted someone to find Ji Guohua afterwards, demanding compensation for medical expenses.

Ji Guohua personally called and asked Ji Shizhou what was going on. After a long silence, the young man said, "I guess he doesn't like it."

Ji Guohua severely criticized him, and told him before hanging up the phone: "You let me down, if this continues, no one can save you, you can figure it out!"

After a year, the father and son broke up after their first phone call.

Ji Shizhou didn't go back to Huadu during the summer vacation that year, and insisted on staying in the small county town of Li County, and his family thought he was acting out of anger.

In fact, he gave Fang Ji food for a whole month.

The food in the hospital was expensive and not nutritious. Fang's mother had inconvenient legs and feet. Xu Cheng walked several kilometers every day to the city hospital to deliver lunches. Later, Ji Shizhou simply took over the job.

At first Fang Ji disagreed, but Li County was too hot in July and August, he couldn't see his sister suffering, so he had to acquiesce in Ji Shizhou's behavior.

Ji Shizhou lived very close to the hospital, so he got up early to pack the meals made by his aunt and sent them to the hospital.The two hardly spoke, and the real conversation was half a month later.

Ji Shizhou asked him coldly, "Don't you blame me?"

He decided in his heart that Fang Ji would blame him. It wasn't a small fight, it wasn't a fist hitting his body, it was a bone breaking, a steel nail embedded in the flesh and regrowing.

Just because he saw a man following the siblings, he followed them out of curiosity.

Fang Ji looked a little surprised: "Why are you to blame?"

Ji Shizhou glanced at his hoisted leg, which was fixed with plaster and bandages wrapped around it. When he was a child, he had seen paper money thrown on the street, and it was the same dead white color.

"You are the first to stand up." Fang Ji said.

Everyone was admonishing him not to be head-on, not to fight back. Everyone wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, and pretend that the violence did not exist.

Ji Shizhou was the first person willing to help him.

He is not afraid of Xu Hao, he is really not afraid of that man.

This is very good, Fang Ji is very happy, this makes him somewhat courageous, besides, "Xu Cheng is fine."

He smiled, and it was the first time he smiled at Ji Shizhou. His eyes were bright, and there was a clear wave in his eyes. He half leaned on the hospital bed, and raised his eyes to look at Ji Shizhou.

Ji Shizhou looked at him, and suddenly looked away, dodging the pure joy.Fang Ji didn't understand the meaning until a long time later, what the sudden dodge meant.

The teenager skipped the topic, "Do you get beaten often?"

Fang Ji shook his head, "Not anymore."

Usually he wouldn't talk about this kind of thing with others, no one can control his family affairs, but Ji Shizhou is different.

He beat Xu Hao, and he was unharmed.

In Ji Shizhou's eyes, this was a lie, so Fu stared at him for a long time, "Really?"

Fang Ji was a little confused, and put this confusion on his expression, he didn't understand why the boy's voice suddenly sank, and he suddenly remembered when he raised his head.

The day I returned the bracelet.

That was the first time they met.

Ji Shizhou pushed him against the wall to repair it.

That bracelet... Fang Ji lowered his head to look at the leg that was hung up, "Only twice."

He was hit by Ji Shizhou twice.

He originally wanted to wait until he met a girl in the park before returning the bracelet, but Xu Hao was the first to discover it and wanted to take it from him.Fang Ji didn't agree, and was beaten up, his shoulders and collarbone were bruised and purple, which was caused by the stool, and the stool was torn apart. The little brother was so frightened that he cried loudly, and Xu Hao stopped.

Fang Ji got used to it.

Fighting has become the "sport" with the least injuries.

Ji Shizhou didn't mention it again, he opened the lunch box and took out the rice.

Fang Ji thought about it, and praised: "Your family cooks delicious food."

"No one in my family lives here, and my aunt cooks the food."

Fang Ji was speechless again, and could only wait helplessly for Ji Shizhou to hand the food to him.

At first, Ji Shizhou tried to feed Fang Ji, because it was inconvenient for Fang Ji to get up, but obviously he had never done this kind of thing before. The first time he tried to feed it into his nostrils, both sides were silent, and finally chose to let Fang Ji eat. Ji ate alone in peace, while Ji Shizhou left with an empty lunch box.

Jiang Xinrou didn't know about these things, and Ji Shizhou wouldn't tell anyone.

So in the second year of high school, in the eyes of most people, the relationship between the two became inexplicably close. No matter how many times the class teacher reminded him, it was useless. Ji Shizhou still went to find Fang Ji after school and asked him to teach him how to play.

The boy was just growing up, and he grew much taller in just a few months, even taller than Fang Ji, and he had to put two long arms on his body, relying on Fang Ji to pass the ball to him.

##

"Don't engage in those twists and turns, Fang Ji doesn't understand." Seeing that Ji Shizhou still ignored him, Jiang Xinrou didn't hold back, "You are ignoring him like this now, and he doesn't know where he is wrong, so you have to find him say clearly."

Ji Shizhou canceled with one click, returning the design he just made to the most original step.

"Speak clearly? Then what if he runs away?" His gesture of pinching the pen with his fingertips is very beautiful, and he always has the posture of "leave if you want, and I won't stop you" in front of Fang Ji.

Forget about Jiang Xinrou, they both understand each other's thoughts.

Jiang Xinrou couldn't believe what she heard.

They are always tied together.

Unless Ji Shizhou voluntarily let go of that rope, Fang Ji would never be able to run away.

She didn't know the existence of that kiss at all, and she only said in an incredible tone: "How is it possible, why don't you just tell him what you want? He will definitely agree to you."
