Lin Zhaoxi didn't want to cry at first, but after she plunged into Pei Zhi's arms, she couldn't stop crying.
Pei Zhi put one hand on her waist, light and gentlemanly. Just like the phone call at Nanshan, she was supposed to comfort Pei Zhi, but Pei Zhi comforted her instead.
She clasped the boy's back tightly with both hands, and buried her head in the crook of his neck, not embarrassed at all.
Boys are not as soft as girls when they are hugged. They have a hard skeleton, and her collarbone hurts her nose. But it was probably caused by a girl's heart, she always felt that Pei Zhi's body smelled very good, like a mixture of lemon and mint, sour but refreshing.
The wind ran across the corridor, although she could hardly hear Pei Zhi's heartbeat in this posture, it was extremely calming. Even so peaceful that I soon forgot to cry.
"Are you ready?" After a while, Pei Zhi said.
"Oh." Lin Zhaoxi let go of her hand, lowered her head and rubbed her nose, her face was still a little red, "Your shampoo smells really good."
"It's shower gel."
"What brand?"
"Men's."
"Oh..." continued to blush.
Pei Zhi picked up the coffee can on the window sill, drank the last sip, and threw it in the trash can. Take her and continue to the inpatient ward.
Lin Zhaoxi looked in the direction of the ward and panicked: "Do you want to see Auntie?"
"do you want to go?"
"Should I buy a bunch of flowers if I want to go?" Lin Zhaoxi panicked, "Auntie, do you like roses or carnations?"
"Walk over here and there will be an elevator going downstairs."
"oh…
Lin Zhaoxi breathed a sigh of relief. She had never had any contact with that aunt since she was a child, except for peeking at Pei Zhi's mother at the parent meeting in junior high school.
She even vaguely felt that she and Lao Lin were probably blacklisted by Pei Zhi's mother.
"Then why did you take me here?"
"It's relatively high, let you calm down."
I'm not calm anymore, okay
Lin Zhaoxi took a few sips of the orange-flavored soda, the iced drink made people tremble.
Pei Zhi walked to the elevator entrance and pressed the down button. She looked at the boy and suddenly asked, "Don't change the subject. What if your aunt finds out that you are going to a training class?"
"You will be scolded." Pei Zhi said.
"Is it just being scolded?" Lin Zhaoxi didn't believe it: "But you quit all the training camps and exams before, and the consequences will be very serious."
"I didn't participate in the training camp because I had other things to do on the day of the league."
"What's up?"
"Brazilian jiu-jitsu's rank assessment. The examination time of the mathematics league is heavier than this."
"!!!" The elevator door opened, and Lin Zhaoxi stepped in quickly, "So you will come to participate in the training camp, what about the exam?"
"It depends on the situation." Pei Zhi's tone was very light, "If it doesn't work, just pretend to be sick."
—
Pei Zhizhi has a strong opinion.
If he decides things, then it doesn't matter what anyone says.
After Lin Zhaoxi came home, Lao Lin crossed his legs and ate wontons in the yard.
"Where have you been?" Lin Zhaoxi asked.
"Going to buy wontons."
"Why don't you answer the phone when you buy wontons?"
"I have to answer the phone when I buy wontons? I was working hard for my father just now, and the phone was on silent." Lao Lin touched his pocket and took out his phone. "So many calls?"
Lao Lin ate happily, and Lin Zhaoxi looked at him deeply. When she needed Lao Lin, Lao Lin's phone was turned off, and everything seemed to be going on the established track.
"What happened?" Lao Lin scanned her from head to toe.
"I'm fine, Lu Zhihao was splashed with paint by Zhang Yao from our training class."
"Then?"
"I took Lu Zhihao to the hospital, but I couldn't find you, so I called Pei Zhi."
"Lu Zhihao called you to explain that the fact that he was splashed with paint is a personal grievance that cannot be disclosed to others. Pei Zhi will definitely find out the whole story when he is there. Lu Zhihao thinks it's okay, then he can only choose to go to class..."
Lao Lin scooped up the wontons, "And my fragile daughter is about to start worrying again."
Lao Lin's reasoning was perfect, Lin Zhaoxi stood up and stared at him blankly.
"What?" Lao Lin scooped up a spoonful of wontons.
"Are you a devil?"
"It's just reasoning."
"Did you know that Pei Zhi promised his mother not to touch mathematics?"
Lao Lin pointed to his chest, and looked at her in shock, meaning: Would I not know
Lin Zhaoxi sat down: "Then what should I do, should I tell Lu Zhihao?"
"Tell Lu Zhihao what? Say 'do you know how much Pei Zhi paid to protect you'?" Lao Lin scooped up a spoonful of wontons, "Personally, I think it's better for you to tell Pei Zhi about this."
"say what?"
"You treat Lu Zhihao so well, I'm jealous~"
Lin Zhaoxi: "..."
—
Lao Lin is very smart and knows how to persuade her.
Lu Zhihao's father started picking up his son every day.
The investigation by the police turned out to be fruitless. They also retrieved the surveillance video at the time of the incident, but the surveillance video of the old streets and alleys itself had too many blind spots, and there were many pedestrians coming and going, so it was difficult to identify the suspect.
However, the police uncle still made a symbolic visit to the school to investigate, and of course he would not let go of the training team that had classes on weekends.
Another training week.
When Pei Zhi walked into the classroom, most of the people in the classroom were still working hard on the questions.
The boy with the schoolbag didn't attract anyone's attention at first, until he sat down beside Lu Zhihao.
The tables and chairs moved, making a slight sound.
Zhang Yao turned around: "Yo~ Lu Zhihao, why are you seducing others again?"
Some students turned their heads when they heard the voice, and when they saw Pei Zhi, their expressions of watching the show turned into surprise.
"Brother Pei is here?"
"Wow, Pei Zhi, I thought you could let us go this time!"
"I'm going to shut myself up~!"
The students who are familiar with Peizhi talk to each other, and the atmosphere in the classroom is instantly heated. The students who didn't know Pei Zhi began to inquire about who the person next to Lu Zhihao was.
At this moment, two policemen who were in charge of Lu Zhihao's matter, led by the teacher, walked into the classroom.
There was an instant silence in the class.
The teacher briefly introduced the situation, and the classroom became even quieter.
The students had never seen this kind of battle, and Zhang Yao was also apprehensive.
Lin Zhaoxi did not miss this opportunity.
The two policemen began to ask questions, and Lin Zhaoxi raised her hand voluntarily.
"Uncle policeman, I suddenly remembered that classmate Zhang Yao had been bullying Lu Zhihao in class last time. I don't know if he did it." She said loudly.
Zhang Yao was obviously nervous, and he immediately put down his pen to explain: "I just joke with Lu Zhihao because I like him. Why are you doing this?"
The policemen in the community are all good people. The two uncles looked at each other and invited them out. Zhang Yao didn't come back until the class started.
When the teacher was around, Zhang Yao didn't like to lose his temper, but it was different after class.
The bell rang and the teacher walked out of the classroom.
Zhang Yaomeng pushed aside the table and stood up, walking directly to Lin Zhaoxi's seat.
Lin Zhaoxi wrote down the last few symbols of the train of thought for the after-school questions in her notebook, and slowly raised her head to look at the menacing boy.
Zhang Yao didn't want to pretend anymore, and said directly: "Damn motherfucker! Why do you slander me?"
"What did I say?" Lin Zhaoxi laughed.
Zhang Yao was enraged again, and his eyes sparkled.
Lin Zhaoxi looked directly at Zhang Yao, showing a provocative smile. She really wanted Zhang Yao to do it now, so that he would show his true colors.
"This classmate."
Suddenly, Pei Zhining's voice sounded.
Zhang Yao shivered, but Pei Zhi didn't give him a chance to interject: "Please go back to your own place."
"Fuck, why are you pretending, it's none of your business if I stand here?"
"Then you stand."
Pei Zhi's voice was still clear and flat. After speaking, he lowered his head and continued to do his own thing.
Lin Zhaoxi smiled helplessly, followed Pei Zhi, and continued to read the unfinished topic in front of him.
The classroom was so quiet that a needle could be heard, but the autumn sun outside the window was very warm.
Zhang Yao stood by her desk, in a dilemma, until the class bell rang again.
After losing his initial impulse, he is actually nothing. Lin Zhaoxi thought that Zhang Yao would probably be able to settle down for a while.
—
Pei Zhi started his deskmate with Lu Zhihao on weekends.
The current mathematics training, especially the content of the competition on the teacher's website in Anning City, is probably really dispensable to Pei Zhi.
Lin Zhaoxi sat behind them, at the same table as Chen Chengcheng.
Every time she came to discuss a topic, she would look up at the boy in front of her.
She noticed that Pei Zhi would still do every question carefully, although the speed was very fast, and then put it aside to do his own thing.
Most of Pei Zhi's homework was to help Lao Lin read some draft paper.
Sometimes he would also take very basic mathematics textbooks and start to read them.
Many of them are college mathematics content. He probably wants to learn some not solid things more solidly, but it may also be because these things make him calmer.
Lin Zhaoxi was distracted sometimes, and would stare at Pei Zhi's back in front of the desk for a long time.
She always felt that Pei Zhi was studying eagerly, as if she was afraid that time would be too late, like if she didn't study now, she would never be able to learn again.
She can even understand that feeling, that is, when the external environment is very confusing and hopeless, only by relying on what she is best at and working hard can she not give up her faith.
Although Pei Zhi didn't show it, Lin Zhaoxi could always sense it.
