It is the first time that the head teacher of the primary school has encountered such a situation. After confirming that both of them received Yu Li's notice to hold a parent-teacher meeting, and it really seemed that they were both Yu Li's brothers, the head teacher made an arrangement in embarrassment—
Two minutes later, Yu Rui and Xie Li sat side by side in the back row of a classroom in Dingshui Elementary School, and received countless curious glances from the parents in the front row.
If it were normal, then Yu Rui would probably have struggled with Xie Li and let the other party leave first. But at this time, he was so drowsy that he didn't even want to say a word, so he just followed the arrangement of the head teacher.
Xie Li quickly realized that something was wrong with Yu Rui.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Xie Li asked with a frown.
"… fine."
"Do you know what your face looks like now?"
"..." Yu Rui simply ignored him.
Xie Li raised his hand and used the back of his hand to test the temperature of Yu Rui's forehead.
- As soon as I touched it, I tried it hot.
Yu Rui originally had a high fever, and with the cool wind blowing all the way here, his body temperature rebounded even more after sitting down in the classroom.
Sheridan stopped.
Yu Rui slowly regained his senses, frowned and avoided his hand, whispering, "Don't move..."
The voice was very hoarse, and the end sound was a little sickly and weak, like a little hook.
Xie Li couldn't help but say something or do something to tease Yu Rui, but now he couldn't care about that, he reached out and grabbed Yu Rui's wrist—
"I'll take you to the hospital."
His voice was two points colder than usual.
Yu Rui was already prepared for this, he pulled Xie Li back and lowered his feeble voice: "Can you calm down, we are still holding a parent-teacher meeting."
"You're so burned out, do you want to be taken away by an ambulance later?"
"Don't exaggerate..."
"The next two parents."
The head teacher who stood on the stage and endured it for several times finally couldn't bear it anymore—
Both Yu Rui and Xie Li arrived very late, almost stuck on their tails a second before 2:00. The director of the desk has finished introducing himself, and then talked about the class's plans for this semester and the steps that need the cooperation of parents.
The head teacher originally wanted to seek positive eye contact with the parents, but as a result, I could see them pulling a few times after watching it.
Then the head teacher finally spoke up in an unbearable manner.
"Please don't chat."
Xie Li darkened his eyes and looked over. He opened his mouth to say something, but felt that the hand that was holding Yu Rui's wrist was pulled by Yu Rui's other hand.
The boy's eager voice was very low, with a soft voice that was weak and close to pleading from a severe cold: "Wait until it's over..."
Xie Li's heart trembled suddenly.
He hates weakness the most, and he hates weak people too. In fact, there are probably no one that he likes, gentle, kind, harmless, innocent... He doesn't like any of these characters.
It's just that Xie Li didn't like it and couldn't express it - he was too lazy to answer. Although those people flowed past him like water, they had nothing to do with him.
He always thought that he would be hit by Yu Rui at first, and it was the indifferent glance of the boy in front of the sink, which was completely opposite to the original gentleness and harmlessness.
It was the first time he saw a different existence.
And then he realized he was wrong.
If someone else held his arm like this, even his voice was weak, and even showed a weak sense of pleading, then Xie Li could think of how bored he was.
It was completely different for Yu Rui.
A "patient" like him has no ability to empathize, and the emotions of others have nothing to do with him at all—Xie Li glanced listlessly at the most touching and tear-jerking things, and then looked away.
It was completely different for Yu Rui.
Yu Rui... In this second, he truly felt the existence of that kind of empathy ability.
Xie Li slowly lowered his gaze, then turned back and took a deep look at Yu Rui.
There was a deep emotion in that look, so deep that it made people shudder.
Yu Rui didn't see it.
If there is, then the most terrifying time of a beast must be when it gathers its sharp claws and kneels slowly and quietly on the ground.
Because true tameness is something it's harder to do than die.
And if it does, then it must be craving a greater "price" to fill the abyss of its desire.
He used to tell him to run.
Not anymore.
Because he knew that he would never want to let go of the hand he was holding when he died.
—
The parent meeting is finally over.
Most of the parents began to rush to the podium impatiently, wanting to find the head teacher to inquire about the situation of their children individually.
Yu Rui probably had this plan too, but Xie Li didn't even give him a chance to express himself, so he "took" the person away first.
The two of them were originally good-looking, and they had been seen by parents many times in the classroom before, but now they are even more turning heads when they walk on the elementary school campus.
Bathed in all kinds of eyes, Xie Lihan dragged Yu Rui out of the school gate.
Yu Rui wanted to struggle a bit when he got to the door, "My bike is over there—"
"I'll pick it up for you when the fever subsides." Xie Li cut off his voice, "My friend drove over, and I'll take you to the hospital."
At this time, Yu Rui slowly rummaged through Famu's head to find the memory that Xie Li said on Thursday that his friend was coming, and he felt a little guilty, "Did Xiaoli delay your affairs? I can go to the hospital myself, you still with your friends—"
"Yu Rui."
Xie Li suddenly called out his name with a cold face.
Yu Rui was stunned and raised his eyes blankly.
Xie Li's voice was the most low-pitched and pleasant among boys, but he never had a serious time in front of Yu Rui - suddenly standing next to him and shouting in a low voice, Yu Rui was shocked by his aura.
Xie Li still didn't have the heart to take out what he did to others, and after meeting the dazed eyes of the young man with the misty energy of a cold, his tone softened again.
"There are so many people outside the school, don't force me to carry you into the car - be obedient."
"… "
I don't know if it was because of a cold and a high fever, but Yu Rui, who was restrained, was taken away by Xie Li "obediently".
Gan Qingyan's car was not far away.
The three brothers were unfamiliar with each other, and it was even less likely that there would be anything they were interested in playing near this elementary school - so there was a parent-teacher meeting, and the three of them had been waiting by the car, so bored that they grew mushrooms.
Gan Qingyan's sharp eyes were the first to see Xie Li coming. Just when he was about to greet the other two, he noticed a boy who looked a few years younger than them, who was approached by Xie Li's wrist.
The fat man next to him also noticed the delay, and the ash almost trembled in his hands.
"What the hell? Who is that Li Ge is holding? - No, the point is, Li Ge hates physical contact with a person so much, and he even walks with a person - is it really looking for a little sister-in-law for us??"
"It's time to change your glasses." The man standing beside the fat man said, "It's obviously a boy."
"??"
Before they could discuss any further, Xie Li had already dragged Yu Rui to the front of the car.
"Brother Li, this is...?"
Xie Li tried Yu Rui's forehead again just before he came out. At this time, he frowned because of the hot temperature. He glanced back at Yu Rui, stared at it for two seconds, and then turned back.
"The car said to take us to the hospital first."
When the three heard that the destination was the hospital, and they could see that the boy's face was a little pale, neither of them dared to joke too much. The fat man was kicked into the passenger seat by Xie Li, and Xie Li helped Yu Rui into the back row of the car. .
When the car drove out, Xie Li thought for a while, then leaned his upper body and approached Yu Rui, "The one in the driver's seat is called Gan Qingyan, the fat guy in the passenger seat is called Lin Yihuan, and the one in the back is Cai Yan—the three of them are my children, the north side Come down. You don't need to be polite to them, just call them by name."
"… "
Yu Rui didn't react to this, but the expressions of Gan Qingyan and Lin Yihuan who had been watching them from the rearview mirror, and Cai Yan in the back row changed subtly.
Gan Qingyan and Lin Yihuan looked at each other—
Yu Rui didn't know the weight of those words, but they did. The circle is so big that they can call them brothers and sisters by their first names, but they really don't meet a few among their peers.
Xie Li said this not to Yu Rui, but to them—saying that this person had an extraordinary relationship with him, so that they knew.
But Xie Li has been here for just over a year, not to mention that he has never heard of such a person before...
The fat boy Lin Yihuan rolled his eyes, and was the first to speak. He looked like he had no temper and asked with a smile, "Brother Li, is this your good friend here?"
Xie Li raised his eyelids, "His name is Yu Rui, a wise one."
Fatty is aggrieved: "I didn't say which word you just introduced me."
"He's smart enough to guess."
"Then are we stupid? We can - no, Li Ge, don't bluff me, does this thing have anything to do with being smart?"
"Okay, don't be poor." Xie Li looked at Yu Rui, whose face was getting paler, "Just hold on for a while, and the hospital will be here soon."
"Um… "
Arriving at the hospital, Xie Li immediately sent Yu Rui to the emergency room for registration. The emergency doctor asked the nurse to take the temperature, and immediately opened the infusion bottle, and asked the nurse to lead Yu Rui to the room where the infusion was placed.
Xie Li took the bill to pay the fee.
Gan Qingyan, Lin Yihuan, and Cai Yan stood awkwardly in the corridor of the hospital. All three of them were the masters of private doctors at home. An elder in Cai Yan's family even owned several large private hospitals.
It was the first time they had seen so many people huddled in a hanging room—still sitting and hanging.
After adapting to the complicated mood for several seconds, Lin Yihuan couldn't help but gossip, "Hey, what is the origin of this Yu Rui inside? Brother Li is holding him like that?"
Cai Yan thought for a while, "The temperament is pretty good."
"That's true." Lin Yihuan recalled and looked at Gan Qingyan, "Guess what?"
"I don't see any background from the clothes. I don't think it has anything to do with the background. No matter what the background is, Li Ge's character can't hold people."
"That's right." Lin Yihuan nodded fiercely, "I have grown up together for so many years, this is the first time I have seen Brother Li speak so softly. When I was in high school, I was not so diligent in chasing the school's beauty—"
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yihuan said with an "oooo", "Gan Qingyan, you pinch me to do it...Fuck, Brother Li, are you back?"
Xie Li was coming around the corner and glanced at Lin Yihuan, wondering if he heard or not.
Xie Li walked over without stopping until he passed by the three people, as if he was saying a word casually.
"Don't look at him. I'm chasing him."
