Lin Jiaqiao ridiculed him for a long time, and finally remembered to talk about business, "Hey, classmate, remember to go to the hospital for a physical examination when you have time. You need a full body check. I can tell at a glance that your face is not good."
Ying Zhiwan had no idea that it was a reminder for him to get checked for leukemia. He thought that when Lin Jiaqiao said that it was not okay, she was just mocking her.
He didn't want to endure it anymore, and fought back:
"My classmate, I didn't expect that you look like you have a low IQ but a big head."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Xiaoyuan and Qin Guan immediately ran away with their partners.
Lin Jiaqiao raised his fist, "I want to beat that big beast Ying Zhiwan to death!"
Qin Guan held her tightly and refused to let go. "You are an adult, so don't bother with him."
Lin Jiaqiao protested: "You really take my kindness for granted. Do you think everyone can meet a beautiful and kind fairy?"
On the other hand, Xiang Xiaoyuan also defended her friend: "Zhizhi has no ill intentions, she is very kind."
Ying Zhiwan snorted coldly: "I didn't know that kindness is an insulting word."
With a cold face, he looked at Xiaoyuan carefully and said, "You are not hurt, are you?"
Xiang Xiaoyuan said: "No, Zhizhi arrived just in time."
Ying Zhiwan's face turned even uglier, "My girlfriend was bullied, and I was the last one to know about it."
"Why didn't you tell me they bullied you."
"Am I so shameful that you don't even want others to find me? If others knew that I was your boyfriend, you would have less trouble."
Xiang Xiaoyuan's face also turned serious. "We have discussed this issue many times. The highest temperature today is only minus 2 degrees Celsius. Are you sure you want to quarrel with me outside?"
"Zhizhi just said that she ignored me because of work. Actually, that's not true. I was the one who deliberately distanced myself from her."
"You know what they say about me, and they use the same language against the people around me."
Ying Zhiwan said: "I'm not afraid-"
"But I'm afraid." Xiang Xiaoyuan said, "Ying Zhiwan, you know how many people in the school have a crush on you, right?"
"If we went public, I would definitely get attacked more than I do now."
"Yes, you can protect me, but can you stay by my side every minute of every day?"
"I was going to the bathroom, going to gym class, changing clothes, even just getting food, you know, if they wanted to get me in trouble, even for a fraction of a second, I would get hurt."
“But these are not the only things I’m afraid of.”
"You know what I'm most afraid of? I'm afraid you'll believe what they say."
"If they talk nonsense for a day, you might think it's a joke. But if they talk nonsense for a year, would you wonder why they don't talk about others but only about me? Would you think that they might be telling the truth?"
"I'm really afraid you'll leave me."
"You are the lover I have finally found. If you leave me, I really, I will probably never love anyone again."
“Maybe I don’t even love myself anymore.”
Ying Zhiwan couldn't help but feel happy, "It turns out that I am the lover that is not easy for you to find. I am more important than Lin Maque, right?"
In fact, Xiang Xiaoyuan also felt that Lin Jiaqiao's behavior tonight was abnormal. However, she roughly understood Lin Jiaqiao's feelings.
After all, she also disliked Qin Guan.
Ying Zhiwan complained naggingly: "She actually said that I am not good-looking. I am not bragging, if I wasn't handsome, I would have been beaten to death long ago and would not have lived to this age."
Xiang Xiaoyuan suppressed a smile: "We should know ourselves very well."
Ying Zhiwan was dissatisfied: "You're still laughing. Lin Maque also said that I'm not good enough, cough cough cough."
A gust of cold wind blew by, choking Yingzhi and making him cough.
Xiang Xiaoyuan quickly comforted him, "She's talking nonsense. I know you can do it. I know."
Ying Zhiwan insisted: "You, cough, you have to tell her, cough, cough, you, cough, -"
Xiang Xiaoyuan was both angry and amused, "Just shut up now."
She said with some concern: "Why don't you go get checked out. You seem to be particularly afraid of cold recently, and you often catch colds and sometimes have nosebleeds."
Ying Zhiwan was dissatisfied: "If Lin Maque saw you dressed like that, he would get a nosebleed!"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. "Lin Maque, wait for me. I'm going to go back to the dormitory and tell her brother that I'm going to secretly pinch Qin Guan's ticklish spots while we're playing basketball."
Speaking of Qin Guan, Xiang Xiaoyuan became excited, "I thought Zhizhi and Qin Guan had been together for a long time, but it turns out they just started dating."
Ying Zhiwan asked: "So they were childhood sweethearts, who confessed first, when do they plan to get married, and whose surname will the child take?"
Xiang Xiaoyuan was quite disappointed, "I didn't ask."
Ying Zhiwan was puzzled, "Aren't you just so curious that you gossip with me all day long?"
He whispered to Xiaoyuan, "It's too late now."
She took Ying Zhiwan's arm and said, "Come on, boyfriend, let's go home and check our homework."
Ying Zhiwan suppressed the upturned corners of his mouth and said, "I memorized a lot of words today."
Xiang Xiaoyuan picked up the end of his scarf and wrapped it around his neck: "I have prepared a lot of rewards as well."
The moonlight is peaceful this evening, and the snow is gentle.
A colleague who usually took good care of Gu Xiaoxu took a temporary leave, leaving Gu Xiaoxu alone to work, and she got off work a little later than usual.
At the edge of the grass in the community, Gu Xiaoxu called softly: "Meow meow, are you there?"
She called out a few times, but the fat orange guy who usually came to eat, drink and rub his thighs hadn't appeared yet. She looked around and saw no one, so she called out, "Niangkou Sansan."
The holly buried in the snow shook a few times, and a fat orange cat's head appeared.
Gu Xiaoxu greeted it, "Hello, I'm sorry I'm late today because I was very busy at work, so—"
Fat Orange was so hungry that he had no mood to listen to her. He started to curse, "Meow."
Gu Xiaoxu quickly opened a can of food for it: "Sorry, I'll give you food right away."
The big orange cat has the temper of all cat owners. Knowing that Gu Xiaoxu likes it, it becomes a little spoiled and curses while eating.
Gu Xiaoxu was touched by the cuteness and wanted to take the opportunity to pet it, but the big orange cat raised its paw in dissatisfaction.
Gu Xiaoxu thought he was going to be tickled, but unexpectedly, the next second, Daju was lifted up by someone by the back of his neck.
Zhao Ruihe scolded him, "How dare you, a young man, bully a young girl?"
Daju once again showed his nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, calling "Miaomiao" and acting coquettishly.
Zhao Ruihe put the cat on the ground and taught Gu Xiaoxu a lesson: "It's an animal, and its nature of protecting its food cannot be changed. No matter how familiar you are with it, don't disturb it when it's eating."
He asked Gu Xiaoxu, "How are you? Are you not hurt?"
Gu Xiaoxu said apologetically: "I'm not injured, but your hand is bleeding."
Zhao Ruihe's hand was scratched when he was catching the cat just now.
Zhao Ruihe said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, I just got the rabies vaccine last week, it's not a waste."
He has been appearing in front of her quite frequently recently. After hesitating for a moment, Gu Xiaoxu asked in a low voice: "Why do you always write me little notes?"
Zhao Ruihe came closer and said, "I can't hear you clearly."
Gu Xiaoxu immediately took a few steps back, his eyes wide open in fear.
Zhao Ruihe's prank was successful, and he smiled roguely, "Because you never talk to me."
There are many stray cats in the neighborhood where Gu Xiaoxu lives, and she feeds them every time she gets off work. Over time, she found that some cats often disappear for a few days, and when they reappear, they look very weak.
She suspected someone was abusing the cats, and after observing for a few days, she found out that it was a man named Zhao Ruihe who had captured them.
Zhao Ruihe is a veterinarian and runs a pet clinic near the community. During the days when the cat disappeared, he took the cat away for sterilization.
He lived on the floor above Gu Xiaoxu, and the two often met in the elevator and also met when feeding the cats, so they could be considered acquaintances.
Zhao Ruihe has a gentle face, but he has a romantic air. Gu Xiaoxu often sees him bringing different girls home.
At first, Gu Xiaoxu didn't talk to him and always stayed far away from him. Later, as her condition gradually improved, she used him as a desensitization object, and the two of them gradually stood closer to each other and occasionally said hello.
The two became acquainted two months ago.
That day, Gu Xiaoxu came home after feeding the cat. Around midnight, she heard a noise at the door.
Like Gu Yiming, she was traumatized by the shock her mother caused her to be very sensitive to these sounds. She held the frying pan close to the peephole and saw that Gu Yiming was actually opening her door.
He was drunk and pressed the wrong floor, mistaking her home for his own.
Gu Xiaoxu didn't want to care about him, but Gu Yiming knocked on the door and said in a crying voice: "Mom, I will definitely get the first place in the exam next time, please don't lock me out, please, I will listen to you, I swear, I will -"
Gu Xiaoxu immediately thought of her past. She softened her heart and wanted to send the man home.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, the drunk fell in.
Gu Xiaoxu couldn't drag him away, but luckily it was late autumn and the weather was not freezing, so Gu Xiaoxu let him spend the night in the entrance hall.
Gu Xiaoxu's mother was addicted to alcohol for a while and would get drunk all day. Gu Xiaoxu was worried about her safety and checked online. She knew that if a person drinks too much, they will choke to death on their own vomit.
Gu Xiaoxu put a pillow under Zhao Ruihe's head. She was afraid that he would vomit on the pillow, so she tied a large garbage bag around his neck.
Worried that he would drop the garbage bag while sleeping, she even tied it to his ears with a rubber band.
When Zhao Ruihe got up in the morning, he thought that the girl he had flirted with had cut him into pieces.
Gu Xiaoxu's tolerance for him for one night was already at its limit. When he saw that Zhao Ruihe had woken up, he immediately kicked him out without waiting for him to say a few dirty words, leaving Zhao Ruihe wrapped in a plastic bag to sober up in the cold corridor.
After that day, Zhao Ruihe appeared in Gu Xiaoxu's sight more frequently.
He played his true scumbag nature, neither taking the initiative nor rejecting, just playing around with ambiguity, which made Gu Xiaoxu feel itchy all over, and she even suspected that her cats were infecting her with fleas.
Gu Xiaoxu asked: "Why do you always talk to me?"
She seemed a little aggressive, but because she had a gentle face, she looked a little naive.
Zhao Ruihe used the same tricks he used to flirt with other women and looked at her affectionately: "My performance is so subtle, you can't even see it."
