I still don't want to go to school today

Chapter 78 Chapter 78

The place to eat is on the second floor of the shopping mall, and there is a very long pedestrian bridge outside, from which you can go directly to the opposite side of the road.

At eight o'clock in the evening, it was already dark.There should be a main road under the overpass, which is extremely busy.Wet water marks on the asphalt make the halos of car taillights follow one another, and spread to the green belt after being covered.

Aunt Lin didn't know the fucking thing yet - she didn't notice that Dad answered the phone, and Dad remained silent after that.When she was about to finish eating, she mentioned the dress she had given to Fu Luojia earlier.Fu Luojia said that the clothes were placed in the hospital, and she said that she would pick a new one in the mall.

"It just so happened that I was afraid that the size might not be suitable, so I chose a very popular style. I thought there were a few pieces that looked good but I didn't dare to buy them blindly—I'm here anyway. Let's try it on the upper body? You can take a shower later. You have to change clothes."

Lin really raised his face: "I also fancy a pair of sandals—"

"...he has to go back tonight." Dad finally spoke. "Waiting over there."

"Is his mother worried about him? Called?"

"That's pretty much what it means..."

"If you have something to say, speak clearly and completely, without hesitation." Aunt Lin raised her eyebrows. "Let's go back now? Isn't it all settled... Forget it. It's still the same sentence, ask him what he thinks.—Jia Jia?"

"..." He didn't think about this in advance, so the expression on his face had no follow-up and stopped in a very empty place. "...I don't know. Don't buy it for me. I don't want to..."

Dad sighed, and the nasolabial folds on both sides of the nose deepened.

I don't want to go to the hospital, and I don't want to go to the mall.During the meal, he didn't completely toss the food on purpose - the layers of cold sweat on his back were dried again and again by the steaming heat of the crowd, which made him hot and cold.

"Where do you want to go now?" Aunt Lin asked patiently.

"...I want to stay here for a while." He glanced at Lin Guoran. "Go and buy it. I can wait."

Dad stayed too.

There is a bus stop not far away.He became slightly interested in the parked double-decker bus, and leaned forward leaning on the railing to have a look.

However, the interest was swept away by the imagination of "the railing suddenly collapsed, he fell, and was caught in the traffic".

He couldn't help but indulge in it.Until Dad chose to speak after some difficult words: "It's not that I didn't think that this would happen... But I originally thought that according to your current personality, rebellion should have nothing to do with you."

"So I'm a 'rebel'," he was able to regain a lot of lost consciousness in front of his father. "Are you using these to get your attention?"

"...I shouldn't answer you, I think you should be able to judge for yourself. Your mother may have given you a lot of bad influences in the past few years with you... Her way of handling things is sometimes a bit extreme Yes. But you have to be considerate of her...it's not easy for her."

"You stop talking. I don't want to hear it. That's it."

They were already in the car when the second call came.During this period, Lin Guoren was fidgeting all the time, and his eyes always glanced at Xu Zhijian's hat.

"That... Jia... no, brother," she cleared her throat, "I saw this hat at the counter, it's so expensive, do you think your classmate will be anxious when he finds out that he lost it?"

"How expensive?" Dad suddenly said.

"It's because she thinks it's expensive, almost a whole year's pocket money." Aunt Lin smiled, "I thought she liked it, but she stopped me in a panic when I wanted to buy it for her, and the little shopping guide girl laughed. ——I think Jiajia’s suit is from that brand, and it looks pretty good.”

He saw part of Dad's forehead and eyes in the rearview mirror.They stared at each other.

"...Thousands?"

"It's still a discount. But it's about the same."

Dad lowered his voice, "Then...the clothes are quite expensive, too."

"It's worth it if it looks good—" Aunt Lin thought it was asking her.

"This is his clothes, I don't know how much it is." Fu Luojia said in a blunt tone. "So what?"

There was silence in the car.Aunt Lin turned up the air conditioner by one degree, "Fu Yun, you'd better talk straight to your child."

"I have nothing to say... If I want to say it, I will talk to his mother."

Then the phone call came.Still urged him to go back, and asked him to answer the phone.

He refused.

Dad repeatedly said to the other end that "it's already on the way."

After hanging up the phone, I didn't know what to think, and asked, "Did you change your phone number?"

He lifted the corner of his mouth and smiled, then shook his head. "The phone is also his."

"..." A light spot swayed past - Dad reached out and pushed the rearview mirror up.After a long time, he said, "How much money does your mother give you every month? Is it not enough?"

What was the meaning of the words? Even Aunt Lin had a little recollection, "I'll say it again, let me be straightforward, what are you doing with the child's eccentricity?"

"Yes. He fed me, clothed me, and put me in his house—his family is rich, can't you see? You want to ask me if that's why I—"

"Your sister is here—"

"Sister?" He laughed, "Who are you talking about?"

He caught a glimpse of Lin Guoran's reddened eyes and turned his head away. "I like him because I'm gay. He's a guy and he's gay so I like him. Nothing else. Money?"

"—I'm not you."

Dad slammed on the brakes and he slammed headfirst into the back of the driver's seat. "Here we are. Get out of the car for me."

Aunt Lin went to unfasten her seat belt.He rubbed the bump on his forehead, and said in a low voice: "You don't want to go."

She was about to speak, but when she saw the tears on his face, she fell silent again, and nodded with soft eyes.

"……sorry."

As a result, Lin Guoren cried out first.

The man in the next bed was somehow gone, along with the child and the kettle.

As soon as Fu Luojia came in, he smelled a special smell, as if something had rotted in the hot water pipe.His mother was still hanging under those plastic pipes the way he had left them, with Granny and the two orderlies standing by.

His aunt is actually here too.This was the first time he had seen her in so many days—grandma said that she would not stay in the hospital after his mother was transferred to the ward, but lived in the home of her classmate.

He didn't expect that his aunt was wearing the clothes that Aunt Lin bought, and she was holding a bag he was familiar with in her arms - the tape had been torn off, and it was unknown if the contents inside had been tampered with.

"I can't take it—" she said to Papa. "It's not enough for me to be a free nurse every day, and I still have to be bitten by her - look at my hand?"

Grandma described it as distressed.

"Look, look—" She stretched out her hand in front of Fu Luojia again, "Your mother bit me! It's not like she's mentally ill, why is she biting people like crazy?"

The person lying on the hospital bed whimpered, as if stimulated by some word.

"Xia Ningqing, your son is doing well! Take a good look for yourself! Really, I guess you'll be fine without your son, and it's not certain whether you will be hurt or not..."

"Ning Yi, please don't say a few words—" Grandma said "Ouch", "It finally stopped and why did it come again—"

"Not to mention anything else, can you pay me back the 2 yuan I advanced! I told my classmate that I will give it to him today, but you have been procrastinating-if I had known, I would not have borrowed- —”

"We don't have any money here..." Grandma burst into tears, "Your sister is in this situation..."

"I pay you tens of thousands every day and still haven't paid?"

"Sorry to interrupt—what are you going to do with the twenty thousand?"

"You don't need to ask me about my money, do you?" Auntie seemed to remember her father's identity at this time, "Haven't you all been divorced for so long, why are you here?"

"Xiao Fu, persuade Ning Yi..." Grandma didn't have enough confidence to say this.

Dad barely smiled. "I'll transfer the money to her later."

"Oh, sister," the aunt turned around, "You are a nice man, and you will pay for it after divorce. Tell me where you found it, and I will go next time too?"

She stepped out.Fu Luojia stopped her, "These things..."

Grandma first came out and explained: "Your aunt worked very hard some time ago, and I don't think there is anything for her. This is what she wants..."

"This is mine." He was unmoved.

"What are they? Yours, yours, it's like I'm a rarity." The aunt was a little embarrassed, and shook the things down with her pockets upside down. "Just a dress, and—"

A [-]% new certain pro hit the solid ground, bounced a little, and fell down again.

There was a small but clear crackling sound.

"No, this, I—" the aunt stammered.Another soft little thing fell out, she moved her foot unconsciously, and happened to step on it.

silence.

He doesn't feel angry.He was just confused.

Then anxiety, lung pain.

He didn't make a sound, and my aunt looked around and left.No one stopped her this time.

"Foraka..." his mother called him in a trembling voice. "Where did you go? You scared me to death..."

"I picked him up for dinner."

His mother jerked her neck up and turned her face to Dad.

"Get out-!! It's all your fault-it's all because of your dad and you-you get out! Don't come to my son-!!!"
