Ye Cheng squinted his eyes, wondering if he was wrong.
On the roof opposite, there seemed to be a person sitting.
"What's that?" He pointed to the opposite side, Lu Xiao followed his line of sight and looked over, his face changed instantly.
The two glanced at each other quickly, and at the same time turned around and rushed into the classroom in tacit understanding.
Just as Zhu Yufen was about to reprimand them, Lu Xiao interrupted her in a deep voice: "Teacher, there are people on the roof opposite, wearing school uniforms."
He had spoken very euphemistically.
As soon as the words fell, the whole class was in a commotion.
Stretch your necks and look across
Zhu Yufen immediately understood, she was shocked and said: "Where is it, show me."
The moment they walked out, the class was already in chaos.
"Damn, someone jumped off the building across the way?"
"Who is it, is it from our school?"
"... Have you noticed that the monitor has never come to class?"
"Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense!"
Ye Cheng's head buzzed, and the blood flowed backwards all over his body, remembering some weird actions of Hu Jiawei.
Zhu Yufen came in from the outside and hurriedly said, "Everyone, keep quiet and study in the classroom."
After saying this, she ran out while talking on the phone, the sound of her high heels was broken and flustered.
Ye Cheng didn't have time to think, and followed her footsteps to chase out, and saw Lu Xiao's figure flashed around the corner, and soon disappeared.
Without the slightest hesitation, he followed immediately.
Their class is on the fifth floor, only one floor away from the roof, and the entrance to the roof is in the east building.
There is a corridor connecting the two buildings. Before running to the east building, Ye Cheng caught up with Lu Xiao.
The two of them rushed up to the rooftop three steps at a time. Ye Cheng's lungs were about to explode, he had never run so fast before.
The door to the roof is made of iron bars, which are usually locked, but now there is a gap.
Lu Xiao held the iron door and gently pushed it open.
They unanimously slowed down their movements, trying not to disturb the people on the rooftop.
After the door was fully opened, a familiar figure came into view.
—It’s really Hu Jiawei.
He sat on the fence with his back to the door, his feet dangling in the air.
After hearing the voice, Hu Jiawei turned around.
Contrary to what Ye Cheng expected, he didn't burst into tears, or even show a sad expression. Instead, he glanced at them very calmly, and then continued to look at the other side.
Numb, hollow.
Ye Cheng's heart was beating wildly, for fear that he would fall inadvertently, fall to pieces, and blood splash on the spot.
He took the initiative to say: "Hu Jiawei, what are you doing? Come down quickly, it's dangerous up there."
Hearing someone talking, Hu Jiawei turned to look at him.
Obviously he was looking at her, but Ye Cheng always felt that there was no focus in those eyes.
He was dazed, like a bottomless pit with no bottom.
But because he usually looked listless, this state did not attract too much attention from Ye Cheng, and all his attention was on the fence.
"The wind here is very comfortable." Hu Jiawei answered irrelevantly, and squeezed out a half-smile expression.
That look, like a marionette forced to laugh.
Ye Cheng felt hairy all over his body when he saw him, and he always felt that something was wrong with him, and a layer of goose bumps appeared on his arms.
"No matter how comfortable the wind is, it's not safe. Come down first, and talk about it if you have something to say." He took two steps forward.
Hu Jiawei gave him a strange look: "Why do you want to go down, it's full of people, it's noisy and hot. Do you want to come and play together?"
Ye Cheng was a little confused by him.
Lu Xiao frowned and stood there looking at Hu Jiawei, but didn't step forward.
After ignoring Ye Cheng, he started kicking again, and raised his arms and cheered twice excitedly.
At this moment, there were chaotic footsteps in the stairwell.
The principal and several directors rushed up, accompanied by Zhu Yufen.
Zhu Yufen looked up and saw Lu Xiao, and said sharply, "What are you doing here, why don't you go back quickly."
The headmaster patted her, signaled not to speak loudly, and did not drive them away.
Hu Jiawei turned his head and saw so many people, his face pulled down.
The principal wiped off his sweat, and immediately comforted him: "Student, calm down first, don't be afraid, we are here to help you."
Several leaders were all on the verge of an enemy, trying to stabilize his emotions by chatting with him.
"Student, if you encounter any difficulties, talk to the teachers, there is no problem that cannot be solved."
"Yeah, think about your family, your parents, don't do stupid things!"
Ye Cheng took a step back, and quietly asked Zhu Yufen, "Teacher, did you call 119?"
As soon as Zhu Yufen was reminded by him, her complexion turned pale again just a little bit, and she insisted: "I hit it, I hope it won't be necessary."
Everyone chatted in a hurry, and gradually approached Hu Jiawei in a surrounding posture.
Hu Jiawei immediately realized something was wrong, moved his buttocks forward and said, "Don't come here! Stay away from me! There are so many people... It's so noisy, so noisy!"
"Don't move, don't move! Be quiet!" The principal made a gesture immediately, and beads of sweat ran down his cheeks.
The stalemate lasted for more than ten minutes, and everyone was helpless, anxious like ants on a hot pot.
Hu Jiawei paddled back and forth with his legs, muttering plausibly.
The principal glanced at Zhu Yufen and pointed to his watch.
Zhu Yufen understood and made a "5", meaning to hold on for another five minutes.
In the brief silence, Hu Jiawei turned his back to them again, staring obsessively at the teaching building in the distance.
The headmaster cleared his throat, and was about to continue talking to him, when suddenly his eyes popped out, and all the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Lu Xiao suddenly strode over.
His movements were so fast that no one had time to stop him.
Ye Cheng's heart instantly rose to her throat.
Everything happens in just a few seconds.
Lu Xiao stepped forward, grabbed Hu Jiawei's back collar with one hand, supported his back with the other, and grabbed him off the fence with all of a sudden.
His movements were almost over in the blink of an eye, Hu Jiawei didn't even react, and was slammed to the ground.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Lu Xiao knelt on Hu Jiawei's body on one knee, and pressed him hard to the concrete floor.
The moment his back hit the ground, Hu Jiawei began to struggle wildly, waving his hands wildly and shouting.
Ye Cheng was the first to recover, and immediately rushed to help.
Afterwards, several leaders hula all surrounded the past, and the scene was in chaos.
"Hurry up, hold him down!" The dean shouted, "Student, you can let go now! Be careful not to be caught by him!"
Zhu Yufen held the phone between her shoulders, helped Hu Jiawei's leg, and said loudly, "Remember to turn off the alarm lights when you come! Don't make a fuss!"
It was as if a pot had exploded on the rooftop, Ye Cheng took advantage of the chaos and dragged Lu Xiao up, and said with lingering fear, "Are you okay?"
Lu Xiao's face was scratched a few times by Hu Jiawei's nails, and the skin was torn a little.
He shook his head indifferently, and said to the principal: "Uncle Qin, it's best to take him to the hospital as soon as possible, he may have some mental problems."
The principal gasped and got up, and said seriously: "I see, although you saved someone this time, this behavior is too dangerous. What if you both fall, how can I explain to your parents?"
Lu Xiao shrugged and said nothing.
"You two go back first, don't spread this matter in class." The principal said to them.
Lu Xiao nodded, and pulled Ye Cheng towards the door.
Before leaving the rooftop, the principal behind him said, "Zhu Yufen, come to my office later and tell me what's going on."
When the two got off the rooftop, Ye Cheng gradually calmed down, feeling full of doubts.
As soon as they walked to the aisle connecting the east and west buildings, they ran into Zhang Qi oncoming.
Zhang Qi was chewing gum, followed by a few people, obviously wanting to watch the excitement.
When he saw Lu Xiao, he laughed.
"Why, Brother Xiao also came to the show? Did you dance? Don't waste your feelings."
Hearing his tone, Ye Cheng subconsciously wanted to see Lu Xiao.
Zhang Qi glanced at the stairs with a smile, and said, "Oh, it's still the same place. Oh, I see, I dare you not to go to the theater, but to go to the second rescue of human beings."
As soon as he finished his last word, Lu Xiao rushed forward.
It was the end of get out of class time, and in the corridor where people were coming and going, Zhang Qi originally thought that he would not be so impulsive.
In the next second, he was kicked to the ground by Lu Xiao.
Zhang Qi scolded "Fuck me", before he got up, he was hit in the face with an iron fist again, causing nosebleeds to splatter all over the place.
The girls all screamed and ran away, and the two scuffled on the ground.
It is not so much a scuffle as a unilateral slaughter.
Lu Xiao rode on Zhang Qi's body, and her fists rained down on his face and abdomen.
Zhang Qi was beaten until he screamed, but none of the people behind him dared to go up.
Ye Cheng froze for a few seconds, then hurried over to hug Lu Xiao's arm.
But this guy didn't know what stimulated him, so he threw him aside.
He was too strong, and Ye Cheng couldn't persuade him at all.
While shouting again and again in the corridor, the teaching director ran down from upstairs.
Looking at this scene, it is almost crazy.
"You two! Stop it!" he shouted angrily, his face turning pale.
Lu Xiao turned a deaf ear and continued beating Zhang Qi who was on the ground crazily.
"Stop! Can't you hear me? Give everyone another punishment!!" The dean was about to die of anger.
Several passing boys ran over quickly, and finally together with Ye Cheng, they worked together to push Lu Xiao away.
Zhang Qi was beaten with blood all over his face, two of his teeth fell out, and he lay on the ground crying.
The dean pointed at Lu Xiao with trembling fingers and said, "I must demerit you this time! I must demerit! You go to the office and stand there for me, go now!"
Lu Xiao's face was as terrifying as Shura from hell. She pushed away the hand of the person next to him who was blocking him, shook off the blood stains on her fist, and left without looking back.
"Come here, someone, help me carry him to the infirmary." The dean helped Zhang Qi who was on the ground and said, "The others are all gone! Go back to study, don't even look at it!"
After everyone dispersed, Ye Cheng's temples throbbed wildly.
What kind of thing is this? Today's two outings are simply too fucked up.
After returning to the classroom, a group of people surrounded him.
Jiang Jin said: "Where is Brother Xiao? Didn't he go with you, why didn't he come back?"
Ye Cheng had a headache, and said succinctly: "I met Zhang Qi on the way, got into a fight, and was taken away by the director."
"Fuck!" Jiang Jin was furious, "What the hell is Zhang Qi doing, fuck it!"
Ye Cheng shook her head, unwilling to mention it again.
Li Junxiao asked: "Is that the squad leader who jumped off the building? The next class is spreading the news, and it seems that someone took a picture with a mobile phone."
Ye Cheng's head hurt even more, and she said to them: "Don't tell other classes about this, if you really want him well, especially Donglou."
The others looked solemn, and they all nodded in agreement.
"Squad leader usually contributes a lot to the class, of course we hope he is doing well."
"Yeah, don't pass it on anymore, he's already under enough pressure, and it will be even worse if there are so many discussions."
"You say he is like this, is it because Aunt Zhu asked him to report his grades in public when the class committee was held last time?" said the art committee member.
"Damn, Aunt Zhu is so disgusting?"
"No way... You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing."
As the class bell rang, everyone returned to their seats.
Jiang Jin turned his head and whispered: "Brother Cheng, Zhang Qi, that bastard, did you provoke Brother Xiao with the fact that the squad leader jumped off the building?"
Ye Cheng was stunned: "How do you know?"
While talking, the teacher came in.
Jiang Jin made a "later talk" gesture to him, turned around and sat down.
After the second class, Lu Xiao came back.
His face was as cold as the ice in the freezer, and he almost had "Get out of here and don't talk to me" written on his face.
No one dared to discuss it loudly, and Jiang Jin did not dare to talk about it with Ye Cheng face to face.
During computer class in the afternoon, Lu Xiao didn't go to the computer room with everyone.
Seeing that he was sitting on the seat without moving, Ye Cheng turned back halfway.
Sure enough, Lu Xiao was lying on the table writing a review.
Most of his height of 1.8 meters was taken up by his legs. It doesn't look big after sitting down, but looks like a child who has made a mistake while holding a pen and writing with his head down.
Ye Cheng sat down in Jiang Jin's place, and Lu Xiao raised her head, just facing him.
"The director punished you?" he asked.
Generally, when Lu Xiao gets angry, he often blames others, so no one asked him this question all morning.
Although he looked very irritable, facing Ye Cheng who had nothing to say, he still nodded with a stinky face.
"A thousand words, can't be written."
The cap of the pen in his hand was about to be bald, and only two lines of words were written in the exercise book.
Ye Cheng gave a "tsk", shook his head and said, "Shouldn't you be familiar with this skill already, why can't you write it?"
Lu Xiao looked at him unkindly: "I'm in a bad mood, don't find fault."
Ye Cheng hooked the corners of her lips, held her chin and said, "How about I write for you?"
"Is there such a good thing?" Lu Xiao looked at him suspiciously, "What are the conditions? You won't blackmail me, right?"
"The condition is, answer a few questions for me." Ye Cheng said.
A black cloud flashed in Lu Xiao's eyes, and it was too fast to see clearly.
A few seconds later, he pushed the pen and paper to the opposite side and leaned back with his arms folded.
"make a deal."
Lu Xiao leaned on the back of the chair, looking at him with her long legs crossed.
Ye Cheng turned the exercise book over and asked while writing: "The first question, how did you know that Hu Jiawei has mental problems?"
After everyone brought Hu Jiawei down from the roof, a car with the logo of Qingshan Mental Hospital came to the school gate.
It was rumored that there was a history of mental illness in his family, which may be due to the recent episodes of excessive stress.
Lu Xiao smiled and said, "Isn't it easy to see, his behavior is not like a normal person."
After Ye Cheng finished writing a line, she raised her eyes to look at him: "I didn't expect you to observe carefully."
After all, when a classmate jumps off a building, the first reaction is not to be worried, but to observe his words and deeds, which is really rare.
"Next question." Lu Xiao said impatiently, turning her face away.
Ye Cheng stared at him for a while, then asked, "Why were you so excited when Zhang Qi provoked you today?"
Lu Xiao turned to look at him, and sneered: "If I say, I want to abolish him every time he messes with me, would you believe me?"
Ye Cheng thought, well, I believe it.
So he asked another way: "What does he mean by 'stage a second rescue'?"
Lu Xiao's eyes darkened, and she fell silent.
Ye Cheng didn't urge him, she lowered her head and continued to write the review, waiting quietly.
"I had a brother before, and he went up to that place too." Lu Xiao said in a low voice.
The sharp pen tip paused, and the ink blotted out a scratch on the paper.
Lu Xiao said: "The reason is that Zhang Qi always brought people to block him, but he didn't want to jump off the building, but was really blowing the wind. After that day, I beat him every time I saw Zhang Qi."
His tone was very calm, and he said those things lightly, completely unable to feel his anger at that time.
Ye Cheng opened his mouth, and Lu Xiao was a step ahead of him: "You still have a few questions, true love all day long."
"The last one." Ye Cheng said, "Tell me about Chen Zhen."
Lu Xiao was startled, and just about to ask him how he knew, but saw those light brown eyes looking straight at her.
It contained many things that he couldn't understand.
At that moment, he suddenly lost his ability to speak.
After a while, Lu Xiao said, "He's good at studying, but he's not as good as you, and he's not as fond of 'persuading me' as you are."
Regarding Chen Zhen, he really couldn't think of any adjectives to describe it.
It's not like when Ye Cheng is mentioned, the words "student master", "cold" and "beautiful" come to mind.
Regarding the fact that everyone thought he was beautiful, Lu Xiao didn't notice anything wrong for a moment.
Chen Zhen is an ordinary high school student, with ordinary looks, ordinary family background, and indecisive personality.
Logically speaking, he was someone who would never be friends with Lu Xiao.
If I had to find something special, it was probably why they knew each other.
"Many people think that we only met in high school, but we actually met each other in elementary school. It was near Qingshan, um, his home is in Qingshan." Lu Xiao recalled.
Regarding this point, Ye Cheng never heard Jiang Jin mention it.
He curiously put down his pen and asked, "Why did you go to Qingshan? Isn't your home in Jiulong?"
Qingshan belongs to the suburban area, quite far from the urban area.
Lu Xiao suddenly narrowed her eyes, got up and leaned over.
His movements were too fast, Ye Cheng didn't have time to react, and the distance between the two was only a few centimeters in an instant.
Lu Xiao looked into his eyes and snorted coldly: "You asked me so many questions, can I ask you one too?"
The aroma of orange blossom on his body lingered at the tip of his nose, mixed with the unique smell of young boys, and the air became thinner.
Ye Cheng blinked, and unnaturally stepped back a little.
"You ask." He felt a tightness in his throat.
Lu Xiao licked her dry lips and said, "Why are you so curious about me?"
