After staying at the police station for almost two hours, the matter was finally dealt with.
The boy who was beaten didn't admit that he provoke Gu Miao, only said that Gu Miao chased him for no reason. Gu Miao didn't speak, but just lay on Gu Fei's shoulder and closed his eyes, so there was no way to confirm this statement.
Jiang Cheng didn't believe the child's words, Gu Miao's state would be bullied in any school.
However, the focus of this incident was not the reason why Gu Miao hit someone. Even if a little boy bullied her, the police could not do much. The point was that Gu Miao smashed her head open and sewed two stitches.
Fortunately, there were no other major problems. The other parent's lion opened his mouth to make compensation, but Ding Zhuxin forced her back half-reasonably and half-threateningly. In the middle, she was warned by the police several times to pay attention to her words.
Gu Fei hadn't spoken too much, his attention was only on Gu Miao.
Li Yan was responsible for holding arms with cold faces, cooperating with Ding Zhuxin's threats, and showing the temperament of "If you dare to mess around, we must also mess around. Anyway, you don't think we look like good people."
Finally, after negotiation, Jiang Cheng let out a long sigh of relief when the police let them go.
The belly woke up just now, squeaking out of hunger, but there was no appetite for food.
Coming out of the police station, it was cold and windy outside.
"Go back by yourself, you have worked hard," Gu Fei glanced at Jiang Cheng, "Let's take a taxi and go with Wang Xu."
"Good." Jiang Cheng nodded.
After getting into the car separately, none of the few people spoke. Jiang Cheng felt a little depressed. Gu Fei was probably not in the mood to speak either. Wang Xu didn't speak much. He sighed while cursing, and Gu Fei glanced at him. There was no sound after that.
"Haven't you eaten?" Gu Fei asked when the car was approaching the street.
"Don't worry about us, go back quickly," Wang Xu said, "Don't go around the car, I'm getting off here, and I'll be home just around the corner... Jiang Cheng, are you going to my house to eat stuffed pie?"
"Forget it, I don't want to eat now." Jiang Cheng said.
At the end of the street, Gu Fei hugged Gu Miao and got out of the car. Jiang Cheng carried Gu Miao's skateboard. After walking a few steps, Gu Fei turned his head and said, "Thank you today."
"Needless to say," Jiang Cheng looked at Gu Miao. "Let her ask for leave for these two days. I saw three little boys today. Maybe they weren't beaten..."
"If you don't ask for leave, you won't necessarily be able to go to school," Gu Fei sighed. "You can ask Lao Xu for a leave tomorrow morning. I have to go to Ermiao School."
"Okay, what's the reason?" Jiang Cheng nodded.
"I have a fever," Gu Fei touched his forehead, "It's hot, it's burning this afternoon until noon tomorrow."
"... Okay." Jiang Cheng smiled.
Seeing Gu Fei holding Gu Miao in one hand, turning around and walking along the road with the skateboard in the other, Jiang Cheng was a little emotional.
He had always felt that Gu Fei lived a very casual life, letting his sister run on skateboards all over the street at random, absent from class and late at random, and played basketball at random, doing whatever he wanted.
And now I feel that maybe it's not the case. Gu Fei's family seems to be dealing with everything by himself. How can such a person really do whatever he wants.
No one can do whatever he wants, Gu Fei can't, nor can he himself.
Just like he is unwilling to stay in Li Bao's country, unwilling to stay in this strange and dilapidated city, unwilling to face the current life, but he has no choice.
Every change will affect the whole body.
Even if it's something he was used to doing before, he couldn't do it casually now.
Because he has nowhere to go.
Few people can really do nothing and just bury their heads in "be yourself".
Li Baoguo didn't go to play cards this night. He coughed all night at home, even snoring and coughing and gritted his teeth. It was so lively that everyone was angry.
Jiang Cheng stared at him all night in the room where he was not soundproof and could hear whether he was walking upstairs in slippers or sneakers.
When I woke up in the morning, I felt sleepy and wandered when I walked.
"Would you like to go to the hospital," he said to Li Baoguo, who was wearing his shoes and was about to go out for the early game. "You are coughing too hard. Is it pharyngitis."
"Look! This is my son!" Li Baoguo exclaimed happily, "It's okay, I've been coughing for many years, and I don't need to go to the hospital, there are no problems!"
Jiang Cheng wanted to say that you were ill-spoken, but he opened his mouth and didn't say anything. Li Baoguo hurriedly slammed the door and left.
Damn, love sickness, Li Baoguo makes him feel like a weak and hypocritical woman.
On the way to school, Jiang Cheng went to the drugstore and bought a box of ginseng lozenges. He was a little refreshing after taking it. He often took it when he was reviewing before the exam.
Now that he can sleep so badly when he eats at least in class, he doesn't want to snoring during class, which is ashamed.
Gu Fei did not come to class in the morning. After the morning self-study, he went to Lao Xu's office and told him the reason for asking for leave.
"It burned quickly. It has been burning since yesterday afternoon, and it can be burned until noon." After Jiang Cheng said, he felt that his lack of sleep overnight had seriously affected his intelligence.
However, Old Xu didn't seem to notice his peculiar expression, but was immersed in the joy of Gu Fei asking for leave instead of absenting class.
"Look, I'll say he can still be saved," Old Xu said excitedly, "Don't you just ask for leave! I know that communicating with you kids, we still need to pay attention to skills..."
However, Gu Fei didn't come to class until the afternoon. At the last Chinese class in the morning, he entered the classroom.
Old Xu looked at him with concern: "Aren't you having a fever? You can come back in the afternoon."
"It's alright." Gu Fei said.
Old Xu nodded, knocked his hand on the podium, and said vigorously: "Next we will continue with the content..."
"Are you not sleeping?" Gu Fei glanced at Jiang Cheng after sitting down.
"... Obviously?" Jiang Cheng was half lying on the table, his eyes a little bit unable to open.
"Well," Gu Fei said, "I can't read it all. What I don't know is that you have a fever for a day."
"I didn't sleep well last night." Jiang Cheng yawned.
"I'm sorry," Gu Fei said in a low voice, "Let you toss around for hours."
"It's not because of Gu Miao," Jiang Cheng waved his hand, "Li Baoguo... I didn't go to play cards yesterday. I coughed all night and was too noisy to sleep."
"Oh," Gu Fei took out his pocket, took out a small paper box, and put it in front of him, "Do you want to eat?"
"Wha..." Jiang Cheng opened the small paper box with a small handful of toffee inside. He was a bit speechless at once, "toffee?" (End of this chapter)
