Can You Hear Me

Chapter 19: escape

"Oh my god, she is really deaf, doesn't that mean she is disabled?"

"Ke'er is right, she saw it in the locker room during physical education class..."

"Compared to her previous aloof and unworldly appearance, doesn't she look ridiculous now?"

"So she just can't hear what we say? I was wondering why she reacts a little slower than others. But she should go to a school for the deaf and dumb, why did she come to Shenzhen High School..."

The sound seemed to come from far away, wrapped in the sound of the wind, and could not be heard clearly. My right ear received the intermittent syllables of "disabled person" and "aloof", and my left ear clearly heard their conversation.

Zheng Zhaoxing was stunned for a moment, then he sneered and looked at Lin Weixia with a playful look. But before he could take the next step, he was hit by a strong force. Before he could react, he was kicked in the back by Ban Sheng. He lost his balance and fell straight to his knees.

Zheng Zhaoxing cursed in pain and was about to fight back when Ban Sheng, with a sullen face, threw him to the ground again. He straddled Zheng Zhaoxing, looking him up and down, and grabbed his collar with one hand. He threw him against the wall like a dead dog, each time more violently than the last. The blackboard on the back wall was shaking.

The two men soon started to wrestle, but Bansheng soon gained the upper hand.

No one dared to stop the fight. The man who beat the other had a family background and a high status in the school, and they couldn't afford to offend him. Ban Sheng had always been more stable than his peers, but now he was fighting fiercely. Zheng Zhaoxing's teeth were bleeding, and his face quickly became red and swollen, with blue and purple patches.

Liu Sijia came over with the dean and Liu Xiping in a hurry. The dean's face changed drastically when he saw this, and he scolded, "Ban Sheng! How can you, an excellent student, fight here? Go up and separate the two!"

But Ban Sheng acted as if he didn't hear anything. He beat Zheng Zhaoxing to death with a gloomy face. His eyes were bloodshot. From the side, his cold white neck had bulging veins, his back was bulging, and the curve was very tight. Ban Sheng even kicked Zheng Zhaoxing directly in the ribs.

Apart from Liu Sijia, the most anxious one was Qiu Minghua. If the fight continued like this, someone would die. Ban Sheng had always been steady and calm, and had many ways to deal with Zheng Zhaoxing. How could he be so impulsive

Ban Sheng had a grim expression on his face. He raised his hand to pick up a bench beside him and smashed it on Zheng Zhaoxing's head without thinking.

"Bansheng—"

A gentle voice came, Ban Sheng lowered his head, blood gushed out from his high brow bones and flowed down, and the bench held high in the air shook.

"I'm fine, forget it."

Lin Weixia's voice was light, without a trace of resentment or grievance, as if she was born to endure all this.

Lin Weixia's voice was not loud, but it miraculously made Ban Sheng surrender, and the gloomy anger on his face disappeared. Ban Sheng threw the stool with a "bang", scaring the girl next to him to scream, and a group of people swarmed over, and the scene was in chaos.

Lin Weixia was still thinking about her worn-out hearing aid. She had been looking for it just now, but couldn't find it. Lin Weixia squatted down and looked around. Suddenly, she saw the small hearing aid lying on the corner of the table not far away. She was about to reach out to pick it up, but a bony hand picked it up faster.

Before anyone could react, Ban Sheng grabbed her arm and pulled the squatting girl up. His large, cold hand slid down, grabbed Lin Weixia's wrist, and walked out through the crowd.

When passing by the dean, Ban Sheng said in a calm tone, but his words were arrogant: "Come back and accept the punishment."

Ban Sheng took Lin Weixia away in front of so many teachers and students, making the teacher so angry that he was jumping up and down behind him.

The students straightened their tilted chairs. Liu Xiping sighed and told the students to send Zheng Zhaoxing, who was still breathing his last breath, to the hospital.

In the chaos, Liu Sijia stood in the crowd, people were coming and going, and a passing classmate accidentally bumped into her shoulder. The queen still did not react, and her face turned completely cold.

The tall and straight boy pulled the girl forward, and Lin Weixia staggered behind him. His steps were big and fast, and her wrist was tightly clenched. She couldn't help but look up at him. His back was arrogant and determined, as if he wanted to take her and escape, away from here.

The rain outside was white and hot, rolling up into a thick curtain. She lowered her eyes to look at the hand at her wrist. The tendons and bones were stretched, and the pale blue blood vessels on the back of the hand were obvious, with bright red blood hanging on the joints.

Her mood is more complicated than the rain.

The rain was pouring down heavily, like freezing points hitting the face, causing a stinging sensation. The rain fell on the ground, and the rising mist moved towards them like a white sea.

Without hesitation, Ban Sheng took off his coat and handed it to Lin Weixia to keep her out of the rain. He ran out of the school gate with her and brought her to the green platform to shelter from the rain.

He walked out to get a taxi, and just as Lin Weixia raised her foot to follow him, she was pushed back by Ban Sheng.

It was hard to get a taxi on a rainy day, and after hailing a blue taxi for a long time, the door finally closed with a "click". The two of them sat side by side in the back seat, with the windows keeping the wet mist out.

"Where are you going?"

Ban Sheng whispered the name of a hotel. His voice was cold and he seemed to be in a bad mood.

The warm heater was turned on, making an old-fashioned humming sound. The driver looked through the rearview mirror at the passengers in the back seat. The man was handsome and the woman was pretty, which was quite pleasing to the eye, but they were sitting a little far away from each other.

But it was obvious that the boy was wetted by the rain more, from head to toe, with his shoulders dyed dark, his elbows against his thighs, and rain dripping down his black cuffs. The girl was better off, with only her back and hair wet. She turned her head and looked out the window alone, not knowing what she was thinking.

The driver picked up the two students at the entrance of Shenzhen High School and asked curiously, "Are you skipping classes?"

Ban Sheng changed his posture, leaning his head lazily on the back seat, and uttered a syllable from his throat, quite perfunctorily: "Yeah."

The driver looked ahead, turned the steering wheel, and continued to ask: "Girl, how many times have you skipped classes?"

Ban Sheng turned his head and looked at Lin Weixia, leaning slightly as if he was afraid that she couldn't hear clearly and wanted to help repeat it.

"The first time." Lin Weixia turned her head and spoke.

"Oh, then you led her astray." The driver concluded, looking at Ban Sheng.

The coldness on her body was gradually warmed away. Lin Weixia tilted her head to look at Ban Sheng. From her angle, the white rain scene outside the window was receding, and she could also see his clear and sharp jaw, and the pointed Adam's apple that slowly moved up and down.

Seeing that the driver was about to say something to Lin Weixia, Ban Sheng was about to stop him, but Lin Weixia leaned over a little, pointed to her other ear, and explained, "I'm fine."

Although her right ear temporarily lost support.

"Is it uncomfortable for you to wear that?" Ban Sheng asked her thoughtfully.

Lin Weixia was stunned for a moment, then replied: "It's OK, I'm used to it. But I can't do strenuous exercise, because sweating will soak the hearing aids."

Lin Weixia lost hearing in her right ear at a very early age, and later the hearing in her left ear was slightly affected. In order not to affect her normal life, she started wearing hearing aids early on.

The car moved forward steadily. There was still some distance between the two boys and the girl sitting in the back seat. The camera pulled down and saw two pairs of shoes on the cheap carpet with dark patterns. One pair of black sports shoes with a clear brand logo was covered in mud and dirt, and water was dripping out continuously. The other pair of white canvas shoes was yellowed by the rain. The two pairs of shoes slowly came together.

When the taxi arrived at the hotel, the rain gradually subsided. Ban Sheng took Lin Weixia to the hotel front desk and handed her ID card to the front desk staff to open the card.

The front desk clerk took the ID card, slid the mouse with his right hand, glanced at them and said, "There are no more couple suites."

Lin Weixia was startled and subconsciously explained: "We are not a couple."

"A regular suite will do." Ban Sheng said.

The front desk staff nodded and checked me in, then took another look at the boy. Although he was young, he had an outstanding temperament, especially his superior and smooth bones. It was obvious that he was born with talent, and he looked like a popular young actor.

When the front desk staff handed him the room card and ID card, they smiled in a perfect way and said in a flattering tone: "I wish you and your girlfriend a pleasant stay."

Lin Weixia sighed softly.

The woman at the front desk did not get the response she expected, and the other party did not even reach out to take the room card. When she raised her eyes, she was met with a cold face.

Ban Sheng usually looked carefree, but now he spoke in a serious tone, "She just said that we are not boyfriend and girlfriend, didn't you hear it?"

The front desk staff was stunned. Ban Sheng took out the room card and ID card and walked forward. Lin Weixia followed behind, looking at the tall figure and thinking.

How many sides does Ban Sheng have? He loves to tease her at ordinary times, but in public he absolutely respects her wishes, never forces her, and is unwilling to take advantage of her even verbally.

His love is sincere and pure.

With a "beep", the room card opened the door of the hotel. Ban Sheng inserted the card into the induction card slot, and the warm light instantly flickered. Lin Weixia looked around, and Ban Sheng walked in front, raised his hand and pressed the switch on the wall, and the air conditioner started to run.

After Ban Sheng checked everywhere and found no pinhole cameras, he let Lin Weixia go in and take a shower first.

The hot water switch of the shower head was turned to the maximum, and the water rushed down. Lin Weixia stood barefoot on the ground with her head tilted back into the hot shower, feeling that every pore was soothed.

The hot air rose up and smoked Lin Weixia's eyes, making her feel so comfortable that the things that happened in school in the morning seemed to become distant, although only briefly.

"Knock knock" There was a knock on the bathroom door. Lin Weixia tiptoed outward, hid outside the door, twisted it open a crack, put a hand in, Lin Weixia took the paper bag and closed the door again.

It was almost done washing, so Lin Weixia changed into the clothes bought by Ban Sheng. He bought her a red sportswear, which was a little bigger in size, but it didn't matter.

The clothes looked good on her. Lin Weixia raised her eyelashes and looked at herself in the mirror. The red color seemed to make her look more energetic, and her face was not as pale as before.

Just as she was about to replace the paper bag, Lin Weixia found that there was still medicine on it, so she stopped and treated the wound in front of the mirror. Zheng Zhaoxing had violently removed her hearing aid, and his nails had scratched her ears, which made the situation worse. Fortunately, she had a good blood coagulation ability, and the thrombin values were good every time she was checked.

Lin Weixia walked out with her change of clothes and immediately saw Ban Sheng not far away.

He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his back to Lin Weixia, smoking. He was only wearing a pair of trousers. His shoulder blades were bony, revealing the strength of a young man, and his muscles were taut.

Lin Weixia discovered that there was a crooked scar on his back, right in the middle of his spine. Over time, a white mark had formed, and it rested on his back like a swimming dragon, wild and unruly.

Ban Sheng smoked with one hand, wisps of white smoke drifted over from his slightly bent elbow, and smoke rings floated upwards, as lustful as he could be.

She never thought that the word "desire" could be used to describe a boy.

Hearing the sound, Ban Sheng turned around, and Lin Weixia immediately glanced away and said, "Go wash."

Ban Sheng put out his cigarette on the diamond-shaped ashtray, picked up his cell phone from the table and walked towards the bathroom. As he passed by, he brought a burst of hot air that seemed to hit her face.

Lin Weixia turned her eyes away from him and pretended to be indifferent. She felt that Ban Sheng seemed to pause for a moment and let out a nonchalant chuckle.

He noticed her helplessness and nervousness.

With a "bang", the bathroom door closed. Lin Weixia breathed a sigh of relief and pinched her elbow to come back to her senses.

Ban Sheng came out of the shower still wearing only a pair of pants, with water dripping from his hair. Lin Weixia was sitting on the sofa and was about to fall asleep. He came over, bent down, and was about to pick up the cigarette box on the table when she saw with her sharp eyes that the back of Ban Sheng's hands were covered with wounds and blood clotted on them.

"I'll help you with that."

The sound of removing the cotton swab and twisting the bottle cap was very soft, but it was very clear in the quiet environment. Ban Sheng stood in front of her and asked:

"You messed with Zheng Zhao, okay?"

Lin Weixia shook her head. She and Zheng Zhaoxing didn't even have basic communication. Ban Sheng raised his eyebrows and gave a name:

"Liu Sijia?"

"It's not her." Lin Weixia shook her head firmly.

She knew Liu Sijia, and she would never make fun of someone else's flaws. Lin Weixia's intuition told her that it was someone else, but that person was hiding in the dark.

The sofa next to Lin Weixia sank, and a shadow pressed down on it. Ban Sheng was sitting next to her. She turned to face him, loosely holding his hand, and was carefully treating his wound.

But the two of them were too close, so close that Lin Weixia could smell the faint scent of shower gel on him, and when she raised her eyes, she met a pair of dark eyes.

There was a fire dancing in his eyes.

Lin Weixia looked away.

Unlike before, this time when Lin Weixia approached, she was a little distracted. After hurriedly treating the wound, she found that the gauze was used up, so she took out a pink wristband from her pocket, which was more rose pink.

The pink wristband was wrapped from the base of the thumb to the other side of the back of the hand. Ban Sheng lowered his head, and drops of water from the ends of his hair dripped onto Lin Weixia's arm. It was cold, but she felt numb. So she didn't even finish the last step of bandaging the wound, and hurriedly distanced themselves from each other, with a layer of sweat on her palms.

Ban Sheng suddenly called her: "Lin Weixia."

"Hmm?" Lin Weixia couldn't help but look at him.

Ban Sheng looked over, his eyes fixed on her, and asked, "Why are you panicking?"
