"As everyone knows, Su Ling died of falling from a building."
Zhao Xiaopang slowly let out a breath and said, "It fell from the roof of the teaching building. We happened to be there at the time, and we watched it with our own eyes."
"You are all here too?" Shen Qiqi felt very sad for Su Ling, her eyes were red, she glared at him fiercely, choked and asked, "Could it be that you pushed him down the stairs?"
"No, how could it be, how can we have the courage to kill!"
Zhao Xiaopang hurriedly shook his head in denial, and anxiously defended: "It was indeed an accident, he fell by himself. We wanted to hold him back then, but it happened too fast,"
"The guardrails on the roof are too old, the wind and the sun are blowing, and the barbed wire has been eroded."
Ouyang's face was full of bitterness, and he added: "None of us thought that he...was so stimulated that he didn't stand firm, hit the barbed wire net, and broke the net all of a sudden, and fell like that. "
"That's why you guys regret it because this is the so-called 'last' bullying?" Gu Zhen raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yes... we really didn't want to kill him."
There was a cry in Zhao Xiaopang's voice.
"Seeing him fall, we and I were very scared. After that, none of us dared to say that we were on the rooftop at that time. Brother Bai's father helped us clear the relationship and suppressed this matter. ."
"We decided to bury this matter as a secret forever, until death, no one can tell it."
The female teacher nodded slightly and continued to ask the next question.
"Why did you bring Su Ling to the rooftop?"
"… "
Zhao Xiaopang was silent for a few seconds and replied.
"It's for him to see the confession."
"Let him see with his own eyes how Brother Bai is with Brother Cheng."
"Since Brother Bai was injured, I don't know what happened between them. Later, the relationship between the two of them got better and better. Even a few of us could see that Brother Cheng Xue liked Brother Bai more and more."
"Brother Bai is the same. He finally admitted frankly that he likes Junior Brother Cheng. We are all very happy, so we helped him make suggestions and racked our brains to figure out how to confess for him to be romantic enough."
"We set the location of the confession on the rooftop. Before the rooftop was closed, many students would choose here for their confession... This is really not our intention to kill Su Ling!"
"At that time, Lu Jie told us that we could let Su Ling see how the person he likes is with the person he hates the most—"
…
Cheng Zhichu found himself back in the phantom of memory again.
At this moment, he is standing in a mansion. The spacious living room is furnished in a simple yet luxurious way. The snow-white carpet is covered with a lot of white paper and discarded drawings, which looks a bit messy.
The four of Ouyang were sitting or standing, all surrounding Bai Yi who was sitting at the table, looking at the paintings he drew in amazement.
"I didn't see it before, but Brother Bai still has this skill..."
Ouyang picked up a painting and scrutinized it for a while, praised it several times, and put it back carefully.
"Before, we never knew that Brother Bai can draw, and he can draw so well. Hey, Brother Bai, why have you never told us about this?"
"Because it's not necessary."
Bai Yi calmly held up the half-painted painting and observed it for a few seconds. He seemed to be not satisfied. He frowned, and without hesitation, he crumpled the painting and threw it on the ground, then took out a piece of white paper to continue painting. .
Ouyang and the others felt a little distressed, because in their opinion, Bai Yi's painting was good enough, and they had no idea what he was dissatisfied with.
Perhaps it was Brother Bai who wanted to leave Cheng Xuedi the most perfect confession experience
They thought in unison.
This is the idea proposed by Lu Jie, asking Bai Yi to paint everything that he experienced after he met the teenager. Using paintings to express his inner emotions will be better than a thousand words.
The three of Ouyang thought this idea was a good idea, but it was a little unrealistic, because they didn't know that Bai Yi could actually draw at that time, and the four of them really couldn't draw, let alone accomplish what she proposed. conception.
Just when they were considering whether to invite someone to paint, they didn't expect that Bai Yi had already started to contemplate seriously, and soon started writing. Up to now, seven or eight paintings have been completed.
"Lu Jie, you are so smart, how did you come up with the idea of expressing yourself with pictures?"
Seeing that Bai Yi was frowning in thought again, the other four took the initiative to stay away, sat on the sofa, and discussed in a low voice.
The girl smiled slightly and explained in a sweet voice: "In fact, although this method is not common, many people have used it. If you search the Internet, you will find many examples."
"But I have other purposes, so I would suggest Brother Bai to use painting to confess."
"What purpose?" the three asked curiously.
"As you all know, Brother Cheng has hearing impairment. He once told Brother Bai that when he was very young, he didn't have a hearing aid. He couldn't hear the children talking to him, and he didn't pay attention to others."
"Over time, they thought he was a bad boy, so they isolated him, and he had a tough time because of it."
"Because of this, seeing Su Ling so withdrawn and never getting close to others, Cheng Xuedi couldn't help but take care of Su Ling. Perhaps it is for this reason that Su Ling fell in love with him."
"Brother Cheng Xue is very good, this reason makes sense." Others nodded.
Lu Jie smiled, shook his head and said, "It's a little off topic. All in all, even if Cheng Xuedi doesn't show it, he must have a mind about his hearing impairment."
"To express it through painting is to tell him that someone can accept all of him, including all his imperfections."
"His little flaw is also loved because the two of them met when Brother Bai helped him find a hearing aid."
"It's also to tell him that love is not something that can only be expressed with words, nor can it only be heard with ears."
"It doesn't matter if he is hearing impaired, even if he can't see things, can't make a sound, or is physically disabled and loses all senses, he will still be loved."
"It doesn't matter what he looks like, he will definitely feel that someone loves him and will love him forever."
"… "
The living room fell silent.
The three of Ouyang were stunned when they heard it, and after a long time, they stuttered.
"Are you girls so good...?"
"I don't know about other girls, but I always think so. If one day I fall in love with someone, I will accept all of him and pour all my love into him."
The girl raised the corners of her lips, but was mocking herself: "But I should never have such a chance."
"...It doesn't need to be so absolute, how old are we, and there will be more opportunities to fall in love in the future." Ouyang scratched his hair and said, "You look so good, just in our school, there are many boys chasing you. ."
Lu Jie shook her head, did not continue the topic, just said: "But this is not all of my thoughts."
Speaking of this, she suddenly raised her voice slightly and said to Bai Yi, "Brother Bai, when you confessed that day, why don't we take Su Ling with you?"
"Ah, Su Ling? What are you taking him for?"
The other three were stunned for a while, and the brush in Bai Yi's hand also stopped, and his eyes swept to Lu Jie deeply.
"Shouldn't he be watching?"
Lu Jie said, "Brother Bai initially pursued younger brother Cheng just to repay Xu Ling. Now this revenge is almost over. How can Su Ling feel the most intense pain if he doesn't witness it on the spot?"
Bai Yi frowned slightly: "He will come to disturb me and Zhichu."
"Don't worry, we will definitely stop Su Ling from approaching you, let alone Cheng Xuedi finding out where he is."
The girl smiled and said Yan Yan: "As long as you hide Su Ling at an angle that Cheng Xuedi can't see, and then take off Xuedi's hearing aid, so that he can't hear any sound, he won't find anything."
Looking at the smile on her face, Ouyang and the three suddenly felt a chill on their backs, and they were all a little scared.
In fact, sometimes they really don't understand Lu Jie, and they even think she's scary.
It was clear that Lu Jie had never beaten Su Ling, and every time she just watched silently, but sometimes, her mind was even more vicious, as if she hated Su Ling thoroughly and just wanted to push him into the abyss In it, let him be shattered to pieces.
Seeing that the others were still silent, Lu Jie stroked her broken hair and opened her mouth again.
"Brother Bai, don't you want Su Ling to give up?"
"He likes Junior Brother Cheng so much, and he is in the same class as Junior Brother. He didn't dare to confess before because he was afraid of what we would do to Junior Brother."
"But it's impossible now, because Brother Bai, you also like Junior Brother Cheng. Of course we won't hurt Junior Brother, and Su Ling will know this sooner or later."
"At that time, he will compete with you for Junior Brother Cheng... Brother Bai, are you sure you will win over him?"
"So it's better to crush Su Ling's delusions from the beginning and let him understand that Brother Cheng is yours."
"… "
Bai Yi pursed his thin lips tightly and remained silent.
He remembered the worried look on the boy's face when Su Ling didn't come to school a few days ago when he mentioned Su Ling.
They are classmates, get along day and night, have known each other longer, and have a deeper friendship. The young man also cares about Su Ling very much.
Once Su Ling has no scruples and persistently pursues the boy he deeply loves, when the mask of indifference and alienation is completely thrown away, showing pure and sincere sincerity, how many people can completely reject him
Although he is confident that his love for the boy will never be lost to Su Ling, but...
He tightened his fingers, and the brush in his hand was suddenly clenched.
Absolutely not.
He couldn't let Zhichu fall in love with someone else.
"… it is good."
"You can bring Su Ling."
"But we must not let Zhichu find him."
Lu Jie smiled.
"Don't worry, we won't give him this chance."
…
"Senior, where are you taking me?"
Being grasped by Bai Yi, the boy showed a somewhat dazed and uneasy expression.
His eyes were covered with a blindfold, which Bai Yi had just put on his eyes. Although he didn't know Bai Yi's intentions, the teenager who could trust him obediently had his eyes covered, and Bai Yi took him by the hand. hands go forward.
"Come on, lift your feet, we're going up the stairs now."
Bai Yi led the boy to the edge of the stairs, and his voice reminded gently: "If you don't mind, let me hold you up."
"no need… "
The young man was a little shy, he said something, and slowly stepped up the stairs according to Bai Yi's instructions, and climbed several floors in a row, and finally came to a certain place and stood still.
"Zhichu, then you just need to follow me slowly, and I also need to take off your hearing aid, okay?" Bai Yi stroked the boy's hair and asked.
"Are you going to take off your hearing aids...?"
The boy's tone was a little hesitant. He was blindfolded already, and now he has to take off his hearing aids, so he can't hear anything, which will make him feel very uneasy.
"Take off your blindfold in a while." Bai Yi smiled, "There is a little surprise."
"… it is good."
Hearing the surprise, the boy's heartbeat accelerated slightly, because if he counted correctly, according to the number of floors he counted silently, they should have climbed half a floor just now, and they may be standing in front of the door leading to the rooftop now. Did he come to the rooftop to...
Then he felt his ears lighten slightly, and the cicadas in the distance and the noise from downstairs could not be heard. The world returned to silence. Only Bai Yi's hand holding him could be clearly heard by him. perceived.
He followed Bai Yi's footsteps and walked forward, and suddenly felt a gust of warm wind blowing on his face, the light of the evening sun was warm but not scorching, and passed through the blindfold, making him feel the orange-red shimmer. .
The boy felt a hand reaching out and took off his blindfold.
The sudden strong light prevented the boy from opening his eyes immediately. He closed his eyes for a while to get used to it, and then slowly opened them, and found that the place where they were was the roof of the teaching building.
Bai Yi stood in front of him, his eyes were gentle and tender, which made the boy's heart beat faster. At this time, Bai Yi raised the picture album in his hand, and there was a beautiful line on the cover of the picture album.
"There is a painting I want to show you. When you finish each one, nod your head, and I will continue to turn to the next page."
The boy's eyes lit up, his face was blushing, he nodded shyly, Bai Yi smiled at him, opened the cover of the album, revealing the first picture.
The scene in the painting is exactly the scene when they met, and the corresponding words are attached to the bottom of the painting, which records Bai Yi's mood at that time.
The boy was immediately attracted by the painting, and looked at Bai Yi's painting intently in silent tranquility, not knowing how many people were standing some distance away.
"You see clearly, Su Ling, what the two of them are doing now."
Zhao Xiaopang and Liang Wenbin held Su Ling's arms from left to right to stop him from struggling. They dragged him from behind the hut on the rooftop, grabbed his hair, and forced him to raise his head and look at the two people in front of him.
Seeing Su Ling's red eyes and violently trembling body, Lu Jie was full of smiles. She clearly had a pure face, but at this moment she seemed extremely cruel and cold.
She murmured softly.
"Your brother, the person you hate the most, is about to confess to the person you like."
"You… do you want to stop them?"
"don't want… "
Su Lingxiu's complexion was completely bloodless, tears welled up from his eyes, covering his entire face in an instant, his voice trembled, as if weeping blood, he used all his strength to shout loudly.
"Don't promise Bai Yi...don't promise him!"
"He doesn't like you at all, he's using you!"
"Knowing the beginning - knowing the beginning!"
He shouted hoarsely, and his voice soon became hoarse. At such a distance, if the young man hadn't paid attention to other things, he might have been able to hear a little movement, but at the moment he was watching Bai Bai with all his attention. Yi's paintings were completely fascinated, and he couldn't notice anything else at all.
But no matter how Su Ling shouted, the young man never looked back at him.
At this time, Lu Jie laughed softly and said, "It's useless, Cheng Xuedi's hearing impairment is a relatively serious situation. Now that he has taken off his hearing aids, he can't hear anything. Even if you call him, it's useless."
Su Ling was shocked, raised her head and looked at her in amazement. The girl curled her lips and said, "Yes, it's just for you to see, we designed it like this on purpose."
"Well... I don't know if saying that will hit you. You were wrong just now. In fact, your brother also likes Cheng Zhichu. He is serious about confessing, and Cheng Zhichu also likes your brother. After this, they should will be together."
"And you, Su Ling, you can only watch them from the sidelines."
"It's like when Mr. Bai watched your parents come together and could only choose to quit. Now it's your turn. You should repay the debt your parents owed others back then."
"Are you miserable? Resentful?"
She smiled and opened her mouth, every word, every word was a word of punishment.
"But you can't help it. You see—"
Not far away, Bai Yi had turned the painting in his hand to the last page, looking at the young man with love in his eyes, but at this moment he suddenly raised his head inadvertently and glanced at Su Ling, but it was filled with darkness. He raised his lips slightly and smiled at him.
Then he hugged the red-faced boy in his arms, with such strength that he seemed to rub his entire body into his body, and gently kissed the top of the boy's hair.
"No! Bai Yi... don't touch him, don't touch him!"
Su Ling struggled fiercely, but it was very difficult for him to break free from Zhao Xiaopang and Liang Wenbin's shackles after his injuries had healed. The buttons of his shirt were loosened a few times, revealing bruises and bruises on his pale skin that had not yet completely faded away.
"You kid, be honest!"
Ouyang shoved his forehead hard, causing Su Ling's head to slam back, and suddenly became dizzy, the tears in his eyes kept flowing, and he couldn't help sobbing and weeping.
But the boy who turned his back to him didn't know anything about it, his hot cheeks were held by Bai Yi, his eyes fell on those thin lips, and his heart beat faster to identify Bai Yi's silent lips.
"I love you."
"Zhichu, I like you..."
At the same time, Su Ling closed his eyes, full of despair and pain, choked and murmured.
"I... love you too..."
"Please look back at me, look at me, please..."
He couldn't speak any more, lowered his head and wept silently, and the tears fell on the ground of the rooftop, fainting dark traces.
"… "
Lu Jie looked at Su Ling blankly, and Ouyang and the three looked at each other. For some reason, they who usually beat Su Ling mercilessly, suddenly felt a little guilty and regretful, and their strength involuntarily relaxed a little.
Feeling their hands loose, Su Ling raised his head, looked at the two people with red eyes, and suddenly broke free of their restraints and rushed over.
"Don't let him go over and disturb them!"
Lu Jie was anxious and rushed to stop Su Ling, but was pushed hard by Su Ling and immediately fell to the ground.
The three of Ouyang stayed where they were before they could react. Lu Jie crawled over, threw Su Ling again, and fell heavily again. Su Ling, who was thrown by her, did not stand still, staggered a few steps, and hit her back. to the barbed wire.
He subconsciously grabbed the grid of the barbed wire with his ten fingers and stabilized his body, but he did not notice that the rusted barbed wire suddenly broke a few pieces and spread quickly, and a large piece of barbed wire broke instantly. , including the piece on which he rests.
"Su Ling, get out of there!"
The expressions of Ouyang and the others changed greatly, and they wanted to rush over to grab Su Ling, who was about to fall, but they were too far away to grab him.
Su Ling's tear-stained face also showed a confused look for a moment, but his eyes were still looking at the two hugging each other.
"Squeak-quack-"
In a short moment, the wire was completely broken, his feet were separated from the roof, and the whole person fell down.
But at this moment, the silent world of the young man is still quiet, sweet and joyful. He closed his eyes and raised his head to accept Bai Yi's kiss. He could not hear Lu Jie's shrill and frightened scream, nor could he see Bai Yi's kiss. Yi's pupils constricted suddenly.
He didn't even know that there was a person who fell in love with him and fell just a short distance away from him, and was about to dye the flower of bloody and cruel death.
The kiss was fleeting.
Bai Yi hugged the boy tightly in his arms and held his head, preventing the boy from looking up to see his pale face.
"Bai, Brother Bai..."
Hearing the commotion and screams from downstairs, Ouyang and the others trembled and looked at Bai Yi blankly: "Su Ling fell, he fell...! We, we..."
"leave here."
Bai Yi hugged the boy, closed his eyes, suppressed all his emotions, and spoke in a low voice.
"Don't do anything, don't say anything, don't tell anyone about your visit to the rooftop, I'll take care of everything."
"But if Cheng Xuedi and Xuedi know about it..."
"He won't know." Bai Yi said, "He will only know that Su Ling jumped off the building today, but he won't know that it is now."
"You must not mention half a word about Su Ling's fall to him."
"Never let him know."

Bai Yi's Diary Part 60
I must never let Zhichu know about my diary and sketchbook.
Otherwise I will kill myself.
