Anyway, my brother's fever had subsided, so Zhou Yizhi went to school in the afternoon. In the new life, she can't remember many high school knowledge points, and she will have an exam next month, and she doesn't want to be called to the office by the class teacher to talk, so she still has to hurry up and make up those knowledge.
But by coincidence, I didn't look at the class schedule when I came out. The second class in the afternoon was physical education class, and a physical test was required.
Zhou Yizhi, who was walking among all the girls in the class, regretted it too much. He knew it would be better to stay at home and tease his brother who was just recovering from a serious illness.
In the dressing room, Yuan Mei came over to say hello to her: "I heard that your brother has a cold and asked for leave?"
In her previous life, Zhou Yizhi had no friends because of her aloof personality. This is actually not good. She isolates others one meter away from her, and no one can see her heart.
Zhou Yizhi in this life felt that since everything had started anew, he might as well try to open his heart and make some friends.
She took the sportswear jacket out of the cabinet and nodded to Yuan Mei with a smile: "I have a little fever, but it's not a big problem. He should come to school tomorrow. Thank you for your concern."
School gossip always travels fast.
Someone saw Zhou Yizhi and Xue Xi getting out of the car together yesterday. When Xue Xi went through the school transfer procedures, Zhou's housekeeper also went through the procedures together. The school spread the word this morning.
The tall and handsome transfer student is Zhou Yizhi's distant relative.
Zhou Yizhi didn't think so, and directly called Xue Xi 'brother' at school, and protected his brother under the Zhou family's wings. Most people in this school are either rich or noble, and she doesn't want others to know about her brother's life experience.
"That's good. Did you know that when your brother came to school yesterday, many girls were ready to make a move. After knowing that Xue Xi is your brother, there will probably be many people who will come to make friends with you." Yuan Mei said with a smile: "Seeing that Xue Xi didn't come this morning, people from class 18 even came to ask me."
"Class 18?" Zhou Yizhi frowned and said, "It's a few floors away from our class, so far away, why are you here to join in the fun?"
"Because of this." Yuan Mei took out the phone from his pocket, opened the campus bbs, and handed it to Zhou Yizhi.
The main building is a picture. A tall boy is standing in the office, with a schoolbag slung over his shoulder, leaning over to sign. The sunlight comes in through the window.
There is no shortage of handsome guys in the study. Cong You is recognized as handsome, but he is still a bit different from the brother in the photo, probably because of his temperament. In short, the photos of the two are put together, like a real product and a fake .
The authentic products are amazing everywhere.
The fake facial features are mixed together, which is quite handsome, but if there is no comparison, if you compare, you will lose.
The bottom of the main building is full of school students asking about transfer students' classes and contact information.
They even started to pick up the family background of the transfer students, but they haven't found anything for a while.
Yuan Mei was in high spirits and wanted to gossip with Zhou Yizhi a lot, but the girl in front of her, who had soft and delicate eyebrows and eyes before, turned cold all of a sudden. She stared at the post as if her territory had been violated.
Suddenly, she turned and walked away, took out her mobile phone from the pocket of her light gray sweatpants, and opened the page for texting.
Zhou Yizhi was a little annoyed. In her previous life, she knew that her brother was very popular in school, but she didn't care about it at all. In this life, she was not so happy. She felt like everyone was coveting her things.
Almost without thinking, she sent a text message to the housekeeper, asking him to find a way to delete those unsightly posts.
…
Zhou Yizhi exercises regularly, and her physical strength is very good. The physical test is only a matter of a few minutes for her.
The autumn is crisp, and the girl is wearing a light gray sweatshirt, running calmly on the green track. Her fair skin is particularly dazzling, and she is the most outstanding scenery on the entire playground.
The boys who finished playing basketball in the stands looked at it one after another.
Sitting in the stands, Cong You lowered his head and played with his mobile phone. There was still a small bruise beside his temple. He was wearing a peaked cap and pressed it to his temples to cover it.
The friend next to him suddenly patted him on the shoulder, and said to him: "Look over there, sister Zhou and her class are having physical education class."
Cong You raised his head, squinted his eyes, and fixed his eyes on the girl who was gradually running over on the runway.
The people around him smiled and said, "Are you sure you don't want to chase? One month is almost here, if you don't catch up, you lost the bet."
Cong You's face was not very good-looking: "Stop talking nonsense."
How can he look good.
Three days ago, Zhou Yizhi treated him fairly well. When he followed Zhou Yizhi to the laboratory to ask Zhou Yizhi for a birthday gift, although Zhou Yizhi was always unreasonable, he also agreed to eat hot pot with him on his birthday. Got it - at least the progress bar has been pulled to 80%, but it suddenly flew away, her attitude changed sharply, seeing her brother beat him up, and told him to go away in a cold tone.
Cong You couldn't help wondering if she already knew about the betting on the forum.
If you didn't know it, why did your attitude change 180 degrees
Thinking about it this way, Cong You's anger at being beaten up by her brother could not be expressed, and turned into a bit of guilt.
He felt that Zhou Yizhi must have cried quietly that day, otherwise his eyes would be a little red and swollen early in the morning, and it must be because of his troubles.
In the beginning, it was indeed because of a bet that he went to greet her, otherwise, even if he was greedy for her face, who would be able to bear her character? ! Moreover, she was notoriously cold and difficult in school, which aroused people's desire to conquer. But now, Cong You felt a little guilty.
How can he make other girls cry.
Zhou Yizhi has already completed a lap and a half, and is in the second place among the girls in the class. In the past, Zhou Yizhi was far ahead in the first place in the 800 meters, but today he ran in second place. The physical education teacher in the distance was a little surprised.
Zhou Yizhi was really competitive when he was young, not to mention grades, piano competitions, etc. Even in the 800 meters, he was not allowed to be behind others, so he always had the habit of getting up for morning jogs.
But after all, she hasn't developed muscle memory yet. In her previous life, she was in her twenties and had seldom exercised. When she first came back, she felt that her limbs seemed to be controlled by her brain, and her limbs were not that flexible. She can only run second at the moment.
Fortunately, in the next life, Zhou Yizhi no longer had such a strong will to fight, so she ran without rushing.
The wind blows by my ears.
Suddenly a person came down from the stands, ran to her side, and ran a few steps with her on the lawn.
There was booing in the stands.
Cong You said: "Did you know about the school forum?"
Zhou Yizhi frowned and quickened his pace.
Cong You also followed, held back, and said to her very reluctantly: "Zhou Yizhi, I apologize, I apologize to you, but it can't be my fault! You didn't know the situation at the time, everyone was making fun of me, I was kicked out The duck is on the shelf! And it’s because of this incident that we met? Otherwise, I’ll go to the forum and tell the whole school that the bet is void, and I’m going to pursue it seriously…”
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yizhi said coldly: "Get out, do you want to be beaten by my brother again?"
Cong You looked at Zhou Yizhi in disbelief.
Just like what he said on the phone that morning, he felt that Zhou Yizhi had a crush on him, but now he actually looks at him with disgust
Zhou Yi looked Cong You up and down, and felt that he was blind in his previous life. He was just such a young man, not as good-looking as his elder brother, and not as tall as his elder brother. Yet he had a cold war with his elder brother for more than two months because of him.
In her last life, she didn't know about betting. Xue Xi probably thought she liked Cong You, and was afraid that she would be sad if it was revealed, so she never said anything.
And in this life, since she already knew about it, she felt angry in her heart.
If it wasn't for her brother, she might actually have gone to celebrate Cong You's birthday in her last life.
Then, when you push open the door of the box, you may find that the whole box is full of people waiting to laugh at you.
Everyone was waiting for her to fall from her lofty position, only her brother was carefully maintaining her pride.
She ignored Cong You with an ugly face, and quickened her pace to sprint towards the end of the runway.
In the afternoon class, Zhou Yizhi felt a little regretful. After school, she didn't delay and went home as soon as possible, but her brother was not at home in the afternoon.
The housekeeper told her that Xue Xi went to the hospital in the afternoon, because his grandmother had just been transferred to this hospital, and besides some procedures, there were still some examinations to be done again, so he would go to the hospital more often these days.
When Zhou Yizhi returned to the room, he found a box of dark blue eye masks and several pairs of earplugs on the desk, and a small post-it note next to it, with a symbol of thunder and lightning drawn on it.
Zhou Yizhi's heart suddenly became a little sweet, and his brother was indeed the same brother from the previous life.
In her last life, one night when there was a thunderstorm, she had a nightmare, her body was cold, and she woke up sweating profusely. She held down her throbbing chest and got up to pour water downstairs. After taking a sip of water, she barely calmed down.
The next day, there were these two things in her desk at school—
It's just that at that time, Zhou Yizhi didn't connect this with his brother at all.
But now it seems that there may be more things she doesn't know.
Zhou Yizhi finished her schoolwork and was bored staying there. Seeing that Xue Xi hadn't come back, she couldn't help asking Driver Li to drive her to the hospital. It just so happened that she hadn't seen her brother's grandmother in this lifetime.
The hospital was overcrowded. Zhou Yizhi first went to the inpatient department where his brother and grandmother were, but when the nurse at the front desk said that a tall and tall boy took the patient to the outpatient building for CT, Zhou Yizhi couldn't help but went to the CT department on the fifth floor of the outpatient department to find someone. .
The inpatient department was alright, but the outpatient building was full of family members and patients, and the strong smell of disinfectant and sweat mixed together, making it very crowded.
Zhou Yizhi arrived on the fifth floor and was about to ask the front desk when he suddenly saw a young man sitting in the corridor. He was wearing a mask, looking at the medical bill with his head down, and his long legs had no place to rest.
Zhou Yizhi's eyes lit up slightly, and he walked over quickly, before she could call him, as if feeling something, he turned his head and met her gaze.
Xue Xi twitched his brows, stood up quickly, and walked quickly to Zhou Yizhi. He took off the mask he was wearing, put it on her, and hung it on her white ears. farewell.
Then he held her arm, squeezed through the crowd, and led her to the stairwell.
Xue Xi looked down at her, and his fingers clenched the medical form imperceptibly tight: "Why do you—"
"What?" Zhou Yizhi wore a mask, and the smell of disinfectant that irritated his nose was finally blocked.
Staring at her for a while, Xue Xi looked away with difficulty, and said, "There are many flus in autumn, so don't come to places like hospitals casually."
Zhou Yizhi said to him, "I'm going to visit your grandma. It's been a long time since she was transferred, and I haven't visited her yet."
"It's fine if you don't need to look at it." Xue Xi said stiffly.
But seeing Zhou Yizhi's dazed eyes, he fell silent for a moment, pursed his lips, and said, "Forget it, I'll take you to see her."
Before going out from the stairs, he took off his coat, and subconsciously wanted to cover Zhou Yizhi's head, but before the coat fell, he suddenly remembered that she might reject him, so he gave a slight pause.
The eyes on Zhou Yizhi's mask lifted up, and he looked at him with some doubts: "What's wrong?"
"There are a lot of viruses in the hospital, so avoid touching your hair too much." Xue Xi whispered.
Zhou Yizhi raised his hand, pressed his hand down, and the coat carrying his breath fell on top of Zhou Yizhi's head, it was a very clean youthful breath.
Zhou Yizhi wrapped his head with his coat, only showing his fair face, and rolled his eyes at him: "Thank you brother."
Xue Xi couldn't help being slightly taken aback.
He said hoarsely, "Yes."
…
After a while, the nurse went in and pushed the old man out of the CT room. Xue Xi followed Zhou Yizhi's arm.
At this moment, his grandmother was not quite sober. After the examination, she sat in a wheelchair and fell asleep. Xue Xi led a little girl to stand in front of her.
Zhou Yizhi watched as his brother took the wheelchair from the nurse. He pushed the wheelchair towards the elevator with one hand, and held his arm with the other.
The elevator was a bit crowded, and when the next shift came up, Xue Xi pushed the wheelchair in, and then put Zhou Yizhi and the wheelchair in the corner, and he stood with his back to the others, just protecting Zhou Yizhi and grandma inside.
Afterwards, people crowded up one after another, but the tall and thin boy stood there motionless like a tough and solid wall.
Zhou Yizhi's eyes could not help falling on the two armrests of the wheelchair. This wheelchair is very heavy. There are no elevators in some parts of the hospital, only steps. The young man must have carried the wheelchair up with the old man himself.
But he has a calm face, as if he doesn't care about all the fangs of life that are pressing on him. From three years to now, he is just carrying it in a place that Zhou Yizhi doesn't know.
Guarding his grandmother, he also tried his best to guard himself.
Zhou Yizhi suddenly felt very sad, and even felt a slight pain in his heart.
Her eyes were slightly hot, so she didn't dare to raise her head, for fear of being seen by her brother.
The grandma in the wheelchair has her head tilted and she tends to drool when she is not awake.
Xue Xi saw it with lowered eyes, and just about to bend over to wipe it, Zhou Yizhi quickly took out a pack of napkins from her pocket, said in a low voice, "I'll do it", she took out a napkin, and lowered her head to wipe it off the corner of the old man's mouth.
In the past, she cared very much about other people being dirty and old people getting old, but now, her brother's grandmother is her grandmother, even if it is to make up for her brother, she should do her best.
Xue Xi's eyes were stunned, and his hands paused slightly, before falling back to his side after a while.
His eyes fell on her face, there didn't seem to be any disgust on it—
He couldn't help clenching the report paper with his hand, and he only vaguely felt that Yizhi in this life seemed to have changed a lot except that he no longer confronted him and wished to drive him out of the house.
…
When Zhou Yizhi came, Xue Xi's grandma's examinations were all finished, and she and Xue Xi sent her grandma back to the ward before leaving the inpatient department.
There are still several buildings away from the inpatient department to the parking lot at the entrance of the hospital.
The setting sun has fallen to the horizon, and the earth is glowing with some orange aftertaste.
Zhou Yizhi returned the jacket to the young man beside him, he took it and put it on, Zhou Yizhi was still wearing a mask, raised his fingers to touch it, but put it down again, she didn't take it off, waiting for his brother to take it off for him later.
She raised her head to look at Xue Xi, and said, "When you come to the hospital in the future, if I'm free, please call me too. Grandma's illness, isn't it good for her to meet new people often? And brother, you She doesn't like to talk, grandma must feel very bored, I can come and talk to her."
"...Are you really willing to come?" Xue Xi lowered his dark eyelashes and looked at her.
Just as Zhou Yizhi was about to speak, a big yellow dog suddenly sprang out from the employee department. Somehow it was stimulated, and it rushed straight over, barking non-stop.
The dog was huge, and Zhou Yizhi was always afraid of dogs, so he was scared out of his wits.
Xue Xi knew that she was afraid of dogs. After she and her family had an argument and moved out in the third year of high school, a family passed by in the alley at night had a milk dog. She was so frightened that she took a detour and followed it far away, not at ease. He saw it, and the next day he came to the house and had a good word with the family for a long time, and also gave some money, telling the family not to let the dog out at that time of night.
He reflexively pulled her behind him.
But before he could hold her arm, the girl beside him suddenly jumped into his arms in panic, wrapped his legs around his waist, and said in horror: "Brother."
Xue Xi: ...
He subconsciously hugged her with both hands, but his whole body was as stiff as a slate, even stiffer than her.
"Go away," he whispered to the dog.
The dog was still barking and barking, staring at it.
Xue Xi raised his stiff legs, hugged her and quickly left here.
When she reached the entrance of the hospital, the girl's head was still buried in his neck, her hands were tightly wrapped around his neck, and her soft breath fell into his collar.
Xue Ximing knew that she acted like this because the giant dog was so frightened that she lost her soul, but he still—
His mind was blank, buzzing, and his heart was beating wildly.
