"You don't know?!" Li Xiaoqiang's voice was full of surprise.

On the long street where people come and go, Xu You stood quietly.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't make a sound.

Li Xiaoqiang sighed heavily, "I thought you two broke up because of him..."

"The hand of Xie Ci." Xu You's voice was very soft, "His hand... what's wrong?"

"I don't know the details, I found out later." Li Xiaoqiang said, "I have Song Yifan's phone number, you should ask him, he should know."

After finishing speaking, the over there sighed heavily.

"I'll report the phone number, please remember."

"Wait."

Xu You took out a ballpoint pen from her wallet. As a reporter, it is a habit for her to carry a pen with her.

"You say." She clamped the phone between her shoulder and ear, and pressed the tip of the pen against the skin on her arm.

After Li Xiaoqiang finished his report, he heard Xu You ask, "I'm thanking you."

"xxxxxxx0723."

Xu You froze for a moment.

July 23rd is her birthday.

Song Yifan's phone rang a few times before he was connected. Feed over there.

"Song Yifan, I'm Xu You."

---

She sat on the bench and stared blankly at the tree in front of her.

It wasn't until a passing child accidentally tripped over his leg that he regained his senses.

Xu You slowly picked up the phone and pressed another series of numbers. She looked at the lamppost on the side of the road, waiting for it to be connected there.

After a few seconds.

"Xu You." Xie Ci called out her name in a low voice.

"Um."

"... You..." The voice over there hesitated slightly, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

Xu You asked, "Is my car with you?"

Xie Ci replied immediately, "I fixed it for you."

She said, "Thank you."

"..."

"Where are you, I'll go get it."

"No need." Xie Ci refused, "It's so late, I'll drive there with you."

Xu You was silent for a while, "Okay."

"Where are you now?"

"At the gate of my neighborhood."

Ten minutes later.

A familiar car slowly parked on the side of the road in front of her, Xie Ci opened the door and got out.

Xu You took the key he threw over.

"Why are you alone?" He greeted her easily and sat down beside her.

Xu You didn't look at him, and asked in a very calm voice. "How do you know where I live?"

"..."

Xie Ci's expression froze. After a while, he looked unnatural, scratched his head, and said embarrassingly, "I guess."

Xu You focused on her own shadow, and she didn't even thank her from the corner of her eye, "How much is it, I'll give it to you."

"What?" He didn't respond.

"The repair fee."

Xie Ci frowned immediately, "I don't want it."

The moon is hidden in the clouds, not very clear. A red light came on at the corner of the street not far away, and the traffic flow was cut off, blocking the middle of the road.

The sound of horns and the noise of the crowd interspersed.

"Thank you, have you had dinner yet?" she asked.

Xie Ci subconsciously blurted out, "I ate it."

"No," he said, "no...."

"..."

Xu You: "I'll treat you to dinner next time." Saying that, she wanted to get up and leave.

"You can go now." He was anxious.

"Don't eat too much at night."

Thank you: "Don't, I can eat it."

I still didn't invite him to dinner. Xu You stopped by the side of the road. The little pink caravan is very girlishly decorated, and it sells cups of fried yogurt and ice cream.

"Miss, what do you eat?" The shop owner was a little girl, wearing a bright green lace apron. She closed the video she was watching and stood up with a smile still on the corner of her mouth. When her eyes touched Xie Ci, she was obviously taken aback.

Xu You looked up at the things on the signboard. She didn't eat it either, so she studied it carefully for a while.

Xie Ci was standing beside her, with his hands in his pockets and short messy hair on his head.

He was wearing a black T-shirt and jeans, showing a beautiful neck, and his skin was fair, giving the impression that he was still a high school student.

The owner looked away and casually recommended to Xu You, "The vanilla ice cream here sells better. It has a strong milk flavor, but because there are small biscuits, the sweetness is not too sweet. Miss, you can try it."

"Let's have some fried yogurt." Xu You said.

"One copy?" the shopkeeper confirmed.

Xu You nodded.

---

The night wind is getting cooler. Xu You was wearing a floral bohemian vest dress with bare arms. She was wearing sandals with clean toes and no nail polish of any color.

Passing by a shopping mall, people flow in and out.

"Thank you." She called him suddenly.

Xie Ci paused as he put the yogurt into his mouth, "What?"

"After you dropped out of school, did you still go to school?"

She mentioned it suddenly, which caught people off guard.

He swallowed what was in his mouth, and after a long silence, he said, "No."

"Where's your hand?" Xu You stopped and looked at him, "What's wrong with your hand?"

"It's okay." Xie Ci's expression was very natural, and he smiled, "What's wrong with you?"

"You hold out your right hand."

He couldn't stop laughing.

The songs of pop bands were played in the shopping mall, the heavy rhythms seemed to hit the heart directly.

The advertising light board above the head was changed, and the popular actress held her hand beside her face, and the diamond ring on her ring finger was shining brightly.

Thank you without moving, dawdling for a long time.

Xu You went to hold his hand.

He refused, straight back.

"—Thank you!" she yelled at him for the first time, her voice was even shrill. It attracted the attention of others.

Xie Ci was also frightened by her appearance and dared not move any more.

With red eyes, Xu You pulled his hand over.

Turning over, she stopped breathing.

A few hideous scars lay across his palm. Even though it looked healed, it was still shocking.

Song Yifan's words sounded in her mind.

---

Xie Ci was called to the rescue by his brother.

Song Yifan received the news and when he rushed to the scene, he found Xie Ci lying on the ground with blood spattered all over the place.

The crowd ran, screamed and cried, and yelled loudly: "He is dying, call an ambulance!"

A sharp knife stuck into Xie Ci's right hand and stabbed him through. Song Yifan was so frightened that he was covered in blood that he couldn't speak.

The person who stabbed Xieci was found by Fu Yijian. According to Zeng Qilin, the yellow hair and Xie Ci once had a conflict in the parking lot. When the two met, the old hatred was added to the new hatred, the yellow hair was impulsive, and he went up and stabbed Xie Ci in the stomach. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and blocked the second knife with his hand.

That was the first time he saw Zeng Qilin cry. When Xie Ci was resuscitating in the hospital.

The red surgical light came on, and Zeng Qilin knelt on the cold tiled floor. He knelt in front of Xie Tianyun, his voice was low and deep, "Xie Ci is useless, I will support him for the rest of his life."

I don't know if it's luck or misfortune. Xie Ci was not injured to any vital organs, but his hand was seriously injured.

The doctor came out to communicate with Xie Tianyun.

"Your child's palm was pierced by a knife, and the impact is relatively large. The hand has rich blood vessels and tendons, and it is prone to inflexibility after the injury. His wound is relatively deep this time, the tendon ruptured, and the nerves and blood vessels on the metacarpal bone were injured. , is a penetrating injury. It depends on his recovery in the future to judge whether he will be disabled, or the patient should be mentally prepared."

A few days after surgery. Xu You came to the hospital to see him.

After Xie Ci woke up, he was very calm when he heard that he might be disabled in the future. Calm enough to scare others.

A few days later, Song Yifan knew that he and Xu You had broken up.

This incident caused a lot of trouble. Students from the two schools got together to fight and almost killed themselves. The bad influence caused soon spread to the city's Education Bureau. All the students who participated in the fight were forcibly expelled, and even Song Yifan, who was a bystander, was suspended from school for a month. Xie Ci's family used some connections to get that yellow hair into the mess.

Xie Ci has been very decadent for a few days, his whole body is like a pool of stagnant water, unable to make any waves. Song Yifan opened the door and went in. Seeing how weak he was in the ward without eating or drinking, he couldn't help asking: "Since you are so reluctant, why did you want to break up? I feel uncomfortable looking at Xu You, so you can't be with her." Can you explain clearly?"

"say what."

"No, then you broke up so unclearly?"

Xie Ci yelled at him with red eyes: "What the hell do you know?!! What do you all know?!"

Song Yifan was frightened, and quickly said: "Don't get excited." He actually wanted to say, buddy, don't cry, I feel uncomfortable watching it.

Xie Ci is still whispering:

"What do you all know...."

"I've even thought about our child's name... ."

Song Yifan sighed secretly. He went back to school after a while, and occasionally ran into Xu You at school. He knew that her grades were getting better and better. They greet each other when they meet, but never say thank you.

In the second semester of the third year of high school, the 100-day swearing-in meeting was over. The two meet in the hallway.

Song Yifan bumped into Xu Youying, she was holding a book in her arms, he stopped to greet her with a smile.

The moment he passed by, he heard Xu You ask, "Thank you, how is he doing?"

Song Yifan suppressed the surprise in his heart, and thought for a long time before telling her: "He is doing well, his body has basically recovered, there is nothing serious, you don't have to worry about him."

"Is everything all right?" After a long silence, she looked at the sky outside and asked softly.

Song Yifan nodded vigorously, "It's all good!"

Xu You seemed to be in a trance for a moment. Song Yifan didn't dare to disturb her, and accompanied her in a quiet daze.

After a long time, the students returned to the classroom one after another. There was basically no one in the corridor, and the two were still standing.

"I see." Xu You seemed to have recovered.

After saying these four words, she left.

On the day when the college entrance examination results were released, Xu You and Xu Xingchun tied for the first place and became the city's science champions, becoming the pride of Linshi No. 1 Middle School.

Graduation is two days away. With a flower pinned to her chest, Xu You stood in front of the whole school and took a photo with the principal.

Microphone in hand, she spoke on behalf of the entire grade.

There was thunderous applause from the audience.

Xie Ci sneaked in and stood at the back. He clapped along with the others.

later.

When Song Yifan turned back to look for someone, he found that Xie Ci had long since disappeared.

---

Drops of tears fell onto the palm of his hand, scalding Xie Ci's hand and curling up.

Obviously not very sensitive at ordinary times, this temperature almost burns my heart.

Xu You lowered her head, but he knew she was crying.

"Xu You, why are you crying?" Xie Ci duplicity, the corners of his mouth almost went behind his ears.

She didn't speak in silence, didn't lift her head, tears were still falling drop by drop.

So he had no choice but to grab her wrist and not let her look at it.

"I've been in pain for a long time." Xie Ci said.

Xu You raised her head, her eyes dim with tears, "Thank you, didn't you say that you would not break up with me even if you died?"

"..." Seeing her so sad, he still laughed, "You remember my words so clearly?"

"You said it yourself, you won't break up with me even if you die, and you didn't tell me you broke up with me later." She repeated it again, crying almost out of breath.

The tears couldn't be held back, no matter how they couldn't hold back, they were pouring out.

Wiping away her tears with his left hand, Xie Ci said directly: "My hand is useless."

He was actually afraid of letting her know that he was disabled, but she already knew it, so it didn't matter.

"......"

Even Xu You didn't expect him to be so honest, so he confessed directly. She couldn't say a word, as if there was a lump of breath stuck in her throat and she couldn't get it out.

After a long time, she finally recovered her voice, "Then why haven't you come to me these few years?"

“…………..”

Xie Ci fell into a brief silence, his face became a little unnatural, "I think you are doing well."

"Then why are you looking for me again now?" she pressed.

"Your car was repaired by me, and you asked me to come here just now." He pretended to have amnesia cheekily.

Xu You: "... . . . "

She wanted to cry again, but was made angry again, "Thank you, don't you think you are particularly great?"

Thank you without saying a word, as if acquiescing.

"That's fine, you will always be so great from now on, don't look for me."

"I just want to be your friend, and I don't think about anything else." Xie Ci said.

Xu You paused, and she raised the back of her hand to wipe her tears, "How far you have gone, I've been tired of you for a long time, I don't want to be friends with you."

As he spoke, tears fell uncontrollably. After Xu You finished speaking, she turned to leave.

The wrist was grabbed by Xie Ci.

He returned to a serious look, and said seriously: "Xu You, don't be mad at me, I won't drag you down."

"—Crack." There was a crisp sound.

Xu You slapped him back.
