Difficult to heal

Chapter 24 End of the Period

The next day Lu Shu went to school with Xiu Qinjiang by bike. Although he wanted to avoid suspicion, he couldn't make it too obvious.

In the end, I still have no way to really alienate Xiu Qinjiang, and he is the one who is most afraid of Xuan Qinjiang's discomfort.What's more, in this relationship that shouldn't exist, Xuan Qinjiang is so innocent.

It's just that it's different from before after all, he doesn't dare to approach him so unscrupulously anymore, he always wants to get along with each other carefully, try to control his words and deeds as much as possible, fearful of crossing the line.

The intimacy that used to be natural has now become a high-tension line that Lu Shu can't touch.

I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, those irresistible desires and feelings will pour out like this.

But he forgot that once a person restrains his hands and feet and overcorrects, he will appear very deliberate. Not to mention Tang Xingchen, even Pan Mian, who is weak, can see that the road is not right.

"What's the matter with you?" Taking advantage of the meal time, Tang Xingchen pulled him aside and asked in a low voice, "Did you quarrel with your brother?"

"Thinking too much." Lu Su turned his phone in a moody mood.

"Then why are you a big man making trouble?" Tang Xingchen almost wanted to roll his eyes, "Have you said anything since morning? You look as sad as if you came to a funeral. Didn't you see that bastard Mianzi was frightened all the time?" Er asked Jiang Er to coax you."

Lu was speechless.

Is he thinking this way?

He wished he hadn't been to the game hall at all, at least he could stay with Xiu Qinjiang as before, without distraction.

"Okay, don't make a fuss." The other three looked at this from a few meters away, Tang Xingchen quickly ended the topic, "You can tell whoever upsets you, and keep silent like this, making everyone worry about you. "

Especially Xuan Qinjiang, with that dejected look in his eyes... tsk tsk tsk, really pitiful.

Lu Shu hummed and said, "Understood."

I don't know if it was Tang Xingchen's words that had an effect, or whether it was the pitiful appearance of Xiu Qinjiang, who finally gave way to Lu Shu. Anyway, after that, he put all the strange thoughts behind him, even though Still restrained, but at least not on the surface.

In the evening, I went to Xu Qinjiang's room as usual, and the two sat and studied together.

Lu Shu focused all his attention on the question, and no longer made any small distracted movements, and rarely glanced to the side. In the middle, Xuan Qinjiang habitually wanted to touch him, but Lu Shu avoided him calmly. A trace of excess.

Just like all ordinary, normal brothers in the world, helping each other, but not loving each other.

"Yan." Before the break, Xiu Qinjiang finally couldn't help it, "I seem to be unhappy."

"Why aren't you happy?" Lu Shu helped him unscrew a few medicine bottles and pushed them over.

Xiu Qinjiang's eyes fell on the medicine bottle.

In the past, Lu Shu would help him prepare the medicine one by one, and give him a glass of water to drink, but today he just pushed it over.

Before that, Xiu Qinjiang couldn't find a reason to be sad, but now he seemed to understand.

"You become, don't like me." He repeated in a low voice, "I don't like it anymore."

Lu Shu's heart was stabbed unexpectedly, shrunk into a ball, and said, "No, take the medicine and go to sleep."

He picked up the medicine bottle and tried to pour it out, but finally stopped in mid-air, and motioned to Xu Qinjiang to get it himself.

Xiu Qinjiang remained motionless, staring at Lu Shu firmly, the medicine bottle seemed to be the culprit, he suddenly raised his hand and swung it over.

"I will not eat!"

Lu Shu quickly dodged, the medicine almost spilled on the ground, his heart was already suppressed, but now he was provoked instantly.

"What are you doing?!" He yelled after closing the lid of the medicine bottle and smashing it on the table, "What kind of temper tantrum!"

"It's you, losing your temper." Chu Qinjiang said coldly, "I won't eat."

"Do you like to eat or not!" Lu Shu waved his hands and left.

As soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Shen Han who was coming over from Wen Sheng. The two stared at each other, and Shen Han tentatively asked, "You two... are you practicing your voice?"

"..."

Lu Shu said with a stinky face, "He doesn't take medicine."

"How could it be?" Shen Han passed him, walked towards the same cold-faced Xiu Qinjiang, and said softly, "Qin Jiang, will Auntie give you medicine?"

"Don't eat." Chu Qinjiang also complained, "He lost his temper."

"Who lost his temper?" Lu Shu suddenly raised his voice, "You are still a wicked person—"

"Cough, cough, cough!" Shen Han coughed a few times, interrupted the quarrel between the two, prepared the medicine and said, "How can I do without medicine, Qin Jiang, good boy, open your mouth."

Xiu Qinjiang had a stubborn expression, preferring death to submission.

Lu Shu stared at him, and said forcefully, "Open your mouth, or I'll throw you out."

Not to be outdone, Xiu Qinjiang stared back, and then... obediently took the medicine.

"Baby is awesome." Shen Han boasted.

After speaking with a smile on his face, he glanced at the two of them with unknown meaning, and said "rest early", and went out on his own.

Being disturbed by her like this, the two of them couldn't continue their quarrel even if they wanted to.

After staring at each other for a long time, Lu Shu was the first to lose the battle, looked back and said, "Rest, I'm leaving."

After turning around and going out, the heat source suddenly approached behind him, and someone hugged him from behind involuntarily.

Lu Shu's body froze suddenly.

Xiu Qinjiang wrapped his arms around him tightly and whispered in his ear, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have quarreled with you."

Lu Shu's whole body was itchy suddenly, and he wanted to break free, but Xiu Qinjiang said behind him: "You really don't want to talk to me?"

Lu Shu struggled halfway, then stopped as if discouraged.

It's not that he can't break free, it's just that Xiu Qinjiang's tone sounds too frustrated.

However, at this stop, the emotions that had been suppressed for a few days were instantly magnified infinitely, and all restraints and restrictions were all invalidated. Lu Shu couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and hugged him.

Chu Qin and Jiang Yijing: "...yan?"

"I didn't ignore you." Lu Shu said.

You have no idea how hard it took me to fight myself.

He almost choked up, his voice was low and hoarse: "But what to do..."

How can I not like you.

What method should I use to justifiably like you.

.........

After venting for a while, Lu Shu forced himself to calm down.

He forced a smile and comforted the bewildered Xiu Qinjiang: "It's the end of the term, I may be under too much pressure recently, don't worry, it will be fine after a while."

After finishing speaking and walking out, Lu Shu turned his back to the people behind him and waved: "Go to bed early."

Before closing the door, Xiu Qinjiang called him again: "Yan."

"Huh?" Lu Shu turned his head.

"I will always be here."

He hesitated for a moment, nodded: "Yeah."

"Yan, good night."

"Good night."

—

The time has come to June, and the end of the semester is imminent. The head teacher of each class began to give orders to the students.

Lao Hong was no exception. After catching a group of late-comers in the morning, he stood on the podium and spoke earnestly.

"All of you are almost grown-ups—"

"Teacher, I'm only sixteen!" someone shouted from below.

Everyone quacked and laughed, as if raising chickens, ducks and geese.

"Quiet, quiet! Whoever laughs, get on me and squat back." Old Hong said half jokingly and half seriously.

The students still gave Lao Hong a lot of face, put away their hippie smiles, and pretended to be listening attentively.

"It's about to be the third year of high school, you have to be a little more urgent, and you can't be as loose as before." Lao Hong corrected his tone and taught earnestly, "The third year of high school is a very important year in your life. To use an old saying, ten years Sharpen your sword and test your edge, the college entrance examination is the moment to test your years of hard study.”

"However, don't put too much pressure on you. The teachers of all subjects, including me, will spend it with you. As the saying goes, 360 lines will lead to champions. The teacher only hopes that you will do your best and pay attention to the process. It’s not just about the result.”

"There will be more than a month until the final exam. This is your last exam before the third year of high school. If you want to pass the exam and don't want to go home and get beaten, you can start reviewing. The teacher wishes you a good result."

After the speech was over, some students took the lead in applauding, and there was thunderous applause from below. Lao Hong waved his hands embarrassingly: "Okay, okay, don't make a fuss, it's time to read books."

Then he pointed to a few of them, "Don't be late tomorrow, and if you are late, buy breakfast for the whole class."

Xiu Qinjiang touched Lu Shu with his arm, and said encouragingly, "Yan, come on."

Lu Shu smiled: "You too, come on."

The review time of more than a month is very busy. In addition to the content of the second year of high school, the task of the third year of high school has to be completed-the school started the class of the third year of high school half a semester ago.

The school leaders issued an order that all high school courses must be completed before August, and the rest of the time should be used for review.

Teachers worked overtime, did not miss morning and evening self-study, students complained incessantly, with dark circles under their eyes, and the worst ones were the contestants. provincial competition.

Xiu Qinjiang was so busy that it was dark, and Lu Shu was also not relaxed.

But it's good to be busy, he doesn't have time to think about those messy things, what shouldn't be there and what can't be, he doesn't know where to throw it all.

In this way, it was no longer as awkward as before, and the two seemed to be inseparable again.

During the two days when Xiu Qinjiang went to participate in the competition outside the city, Lu Shu received a call from the taekwondo coach, asking him if he had thought it through.

Lu Shu asked: "If you sign up, how long will the training be?"

"It started early. I practiced until the end of August. I didn't let you come now because of your special situation. You must come after you finish the final exam."

Lu Shu remained silent.

In late August, which is basically the entire summer vacation, he can't even think about going anywhere, but Xiu Qinjiang is going to the capital to recover.

Every holiday in the past, Lu Shu would go there with Shen Han or Lu Mingheng.This kind of meticulous companionship also made Xiu Qinjiang recover much faster.

With family members by your side, you won't regard yourself as a burden that no one wants.

But this time...

The coach urged over there: "Lu Shu, you haven't thought about it yet? Why are you so lazy, you have to think about it clearly. The gold content of this game is not as high as before, that is—"

"I will participate." Lu Shu's expression fell silent, as if he had made some decision, "Sign up."

The coach was overjoyed: "Hey, good, I'll report it to you right now, let's not talk about it, you remember to come to the training camp on time."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Shu felt as if his heart was empty, staring at the screen of the phone absentmindedly.

A two-month separation may be the most suitable decision for him and Xiu Qinjiang.

The next time we meet again, he will probably be able to be Xiu Qinjiang's younger brother again.

To be a... brother who can be with him without distractions.
