Why are the stars indifferent

Chapter 54

Cheng Zai came to Ji Changyun's house with Zhan Le after sending Qu Ran and Chang Ze back. Originally, Ji Changyun said he didn't want them to come to see him and he would take good care of Lin Xiangxiao, but Zhan Le still wanted to Follow along to take a look, Cheng Zai brought him along, Chang Ze and Qu Ran also wanted to come, but before they got in the car, their parents called to urge them to go home, so they had to give up.

The rain has not stopped, the sky is covered with a layer of rain and fog, and the clouds will be pressed down at any time. The rainy season in the south has always been cold and humid, making you breathless.

"38 degrees," Ji Changyun opened the door, walked out and asked Cheng Zai, "Is there a way to cool down quickly?"

"Take medicine, let him eat something first," Cheng Zai said, "Is he asleep?"

"Well," Ji Changyun said, "I'll get him some porridge."

Cheng Zai responded.

Zhan Le has already come in, sitting on the edge of the bed quietly staring at the corner of the bed sheet in a daze, still replaying Lin Xiangxiao's smile on the rooftop in his mind.Lin Xiangxiao's breathing was rapid, his eyebrows were furrowed, his face was flushed, his lips were so dry that there were several bloody mouths, and there were extremely dark circles under his eyes.

He was like a man who took off his armor when he had nowhere to go. All peaceful surfaces lost their disguise, and pain and disease rushed towards him.

too tired.

Zhan Le felt tired for him.

He didn't stay long, for fear of affecting Lin Xiangxiao's rest, Ji Changyun took the medicine in and he went out.Outside, Cheng Zai was chatting with Ji Changyun's parents about something, holding a small apple in his hand and throwing it around, instead of eating it, he just threw it for fun.

"Hey, Zhan Le," Ji's mother beckoned to him, "Come and sit down."

"Ah," Zhan Le glanced at Cheng Zai, and slowly moved over to sit on the sofa, "Hello, Auntie."

"Don't be so nervous, let's chat casually," Ji's mother looked in a good mood, "How old is this year?"

"...Eighteen." Zhan Le said.

"Very good," Ji's mother said with a smile, "are you still studying?"

"...Mmm." Zhan Le glanced at Cheng Zai.

Cheng Zai also took a look at him, couldn't hide the smile on his lips, but didn't explain anything, he still held an apple in his hand and threw it back and forth.

Zhan Le is not very good at dealing with this kind of friendly elders, he asks and answers like squeezing beans, his trouser legs are clenched tightly, Ji's father is still reading the newspaper there, and from time to time he makes a few sentences, most of them are Ji's mother talking to Zhan Happy to chat.

Cheng Zai was laughing next to him, and he didn't know what he was laughing at, but he was fucking laughing anyway.

You laugh ass you laugh.

After Ji Changyun made the porridge, he took it to the bedroom, called Lin Xiangxiao up, and told him to eat and take medicine before going to sleep. Lin Xiangxiao sat up and let his eyes go for a while before looking up at Ji Changyun. , said dully: "Okay."

"Zhan Le is here too," Ji Changyun said, "Do you want to chat with him for a while?"

"..." Lin Xiangxiao paused his hands, lowered his head, and said softly, "No."

Ji Changyun didn't ask why, after he finished eating his food and medicine, he took the quilt and came out to cover him, and then went out of the bedroom door.

Ji's father and Ji's mother stopped sitting in the living room. Knowing that they were going to talk about something, one poured a cup of coffee and went back to the study, and the other went back to the bedroom with a mobile phone.

Cheng Zai was finally willing to put down the apple in his hand, leaned on the sofa and let out a sigh: "I laughed so hard."

Zhan Le didn't know what to say, so he kicked him lightly.

"He doesn't really want to see you now," Ji Changyun sat on the sofa without looking at Zhan Le, "maybe he doesn't really want to go to school either."

"I can ask for leave for him," Zhan Le frowned, "but the head teacher will call the parents to confirm after a long time."

"His parents will answer the phone?" Ji Changyun sneered, then cleared his throat and said to Zhanle, "Give me the head teacher's phone number, and I will tell you."

"Okay." Zhan Le said, took out the phone, called out the head teacher's number and gave him a copy.

Then there is nothing to stay.

Ji Changyun will take good care of Lin Xiangxiao, fearing that Zhan Le will follow and worry that the two will simply add WeChat, and it will be too late to stay at other people's homes, so Cheng Zai and Zhan Le go out together and prepare to go home.

The two of them got into the car and didn't have anything to say. Cheng drove the car quietly, and Zhan Le sat quietly in the passenger seat, facing the car window. When turning a corner, Cheng caught a glimpse of his eyes closed and kept his eyes closed. Zhan Le didn't even open his eyes when the car stopped downstairs in the community.

Maybe too tired.

Since school was over, he had been tense all the time. Standing on the rooftop, Cheng Zai saw his arms trembling when he yelled at Lin Xiangxiao's mother. He was so angry that he finally pulled Lin Xiangxiao down, and went to Ji Changyun's family accepted torture from Ji's mother.

Neither he nor Ji Changyun brought anyone back home. Ji's mother misunderstood very thoroughly, but Zhan Le actually acquiesced in the identity of "Cheng Zai's boyfriend".

It's amazing that he can recognize it. Although he was interrupted by himself when he wanted to explain at first, but later... he didn't see that he wanted to explain. Instead, he blushed very strangely, coping with Ji's mother's question .

Cheng Zai propped his face and turned to look at Zhan Le.

He had a hunch, but wasn't sure.

"Don't sleep," Cheng Zai reached out and pinched Zhan Le's face, "Here we are."

"Didn't sleep," Zhan Le said, with an unusually clear voice, "I'll just rest for a while."

"Is there a difference?" Cheng Zai smiled.

"Take a conscious rest." Zhan Le finished speaking, but did not open the door to get out of the car.

He just opened his eyes, maintained the movement just now, and looked ahead silently.

Ahead is a road that is illuminated by street lamps and has no vehicles or crowds. After soaking in the rain, the road surface takes on a darker color. There are few people in rainy days, and the vehicles gradually disappear after nightfall. The whole city has an inexplicable sense of desolation. Under the streetlight gradually twisted.

"Everyone is unhappy," Cheng Zai said before Zhan Le could speak, "You can't take care of everyone, and the source of Lin Xiangxiao's pressure is not on you, he usually hides it very well, you see It’s only natural not to come out.”

Zhan Le paused, the newly brewed mood was broken by Cheng Zai's words, he stared blankly at the front, after a while, parted his mouth and smiled: "Ascaris."

"And it comes from the conflicts in his family. Even if you noticed it in advance, he might not choose to take...the road like today." Cheng Zai reached out to pat his stomach, "Relax, wait for him to come back Don't treat him too special at the time, just treat him as usual."

Zhan Le trembled when he slapped him, subconsciously grabbed Cheng Zai's finger, and paused for a few seconds before asking, "Why are you slapping me?"

"Aren't I a roundworm?" Cheng Zai didn't pull back his hand, letting him grab it, "pat my warm home."

"..." Zhan Le grasped his hand gradually, and the resurrection armor of the fawn that he strangled to death in the afternoon took effect. After the resurrection, he bumped around in his narrow chest, and he swallowed unconsciously, " You are disgusting."

"You mentioned it first." Cheng Zai said.

Zhan Le stopped talking, but he didn't let go of Cheng Zai's hand.

Cheng Zai let him hold it until the rain subsided a lot, the phone in his pocket vibrated and turned on, and then there was a crisp ringtone, Zhan Le suddenly shook his hand away, two He rubbed his hands on his trouser legs.

"Hey." Cheng Zai sighed, and took out his phone to have a look.

Above is a message from an unknown number, with a short sentence: Hello.

Cheng Zai only regarded it as a spam text message, and after replying "Hi everyone", he put the phone on the bracket, prepared to let Zhan Le get out of the car, and drove home by himself.

As a result, the next text message popped up again, and both of them subconsciously glanced at the lit screen.

The content of the message pops up automatically, and there are only two words on it: Chen Fu?

"Who is Chen Fu?" Zhan Le unbuckled his seat belt and asked.

Cheng Zai clenched the steering wheel: "I don't know, it must have been sent by mistake."

"Oh," Zhan Le replied, "Then what, I'm going back."

"En." Cheng Zai responded.

After the two said good night to each other, Cheng Zai watched Zhan Le walk around the front of the car and walk to the side of the road.

Spring itself is a plague, bringing flu and countless infectious diseases, and then strangling winter in rain, the whole season is long and gloomy.

Cheng Zai let out a long sigh, picked up his phone, and messaged that number again.

-Which one?

There was no response.

He threw the phone aside and closed his eyes in silence.

During the torrential rain more than ten years ago, the screaming and howling came to the ears again. The girl huddled under the eaves, half of her body was drenched in the rain, almost praying: "Let's escape."

The phone finally answered, and the person said: Long time no see.

Cheng Zai probably knew who was on the other end of the phone, he didn't even want to make a call, he just replied "see your mother" and blocked him.

Those are his past, he has his own life now, and he doesn't want to get involved in it at all.

But someone always wants to drag him into the quagmire again.
