Lovely Allergen - Chap 19
Upon hearing this, Le Zhishi’s nose suddenly felt sour, as if someone had pinched him. The tears that he had been holding back for a long time couldn’t help but flow out.
First, he stubbornly wiped away his tears with one hand, then the other. In the end, he couldn’t wipe them clean with both hands. More and more tears flowed out. He simply turned around and pushed Song Yu so that his back was facing him. Then, he pressed his forehead against it and cried. His shoulders trembled slightly. When he really cried too hard, he buried his head in the pillow and tried not to make a sound.
Song Yu didn’t say anything and let him cry. In the end, as if his patience had run out, he turned around and took off Le Zhishi’s blindfold. Then, he pulled him into his arms. His tone didn’t sound comforting at all.
“You’ll only be satisfied if you dirty my bed.”
Le Zhishi retorted with a sobbing tone, “You’re the one who made me cry.”
Song Yu didn’t say anything. He still looked like he wasn’t very good at coaxing people. Le Zhishi buried his head in his shoulder. This time, he didn’t dare to wipe away his snot. He sobbed and hiccuped as he asked intermittently, “Won’t the clothes get dirty?”
You really like to ask questions.
Song Yu said in a low voice, “If they get dirty, you can wash them.”
This time, Le Zhishi cried without restraint, just like when he was a child. His cries shook the sky. Song Yu lay there quietly, his eyes empty. This scene was somewhat unfamiliar to the two teenagers, but when they were young, they often hugged each other like this. To the Song Yu as a child, Le Zhishi was a noisy little toy that followed behind him like a clockwork. He was like the duckling in Cat and Mouse that couldn’t be shaken off. But as long as he hugged him, he would calm down and quickly fall asleep.
After he fell asleep, he became very obedient, just like how the adults described him, like a doll.
After growing up, Le Zhishi seemed to be asleep when he was awake. He was very obedient and didn’t cry for no reason. He was sensible and lovable. Adolescent children were ashamed to cry to their heart’s content, as if their troubles were not worthy of being called troubles, not worth mentioning, insignificant, as if saying them out loud was a forced expression of worry. Only in front of Song Yu could Le Zhishi unleash his power without any burden.
Le Zhishi’s crying became softer as he sniffed. Song Yu knew that he was about to speak, so he paid attention. Unexpectedly, he touched Song Yu’s arm, pulled his hand to his back, and made a small request with a nasal voice. “Can you pat my back?”
Song Yu didn’t refuse. He raised his hand and patted it lightly. Le Zhishi looked up at him. “I’m not talking about a quantitative unit.”
“Okay,” Song Yu replied. He clapped his hands lightly and asked, “Do you still feel wronged?”
They understood each other without any barriers. Le Zhishi understood quickly and gave an answer. “I don’t feel particularly wronged. What he said is also the truth. Maybe he himself can’t figure out why he was hit by me.” At this point, Le Zhishi actually laughed through his tears. “But bullying classmates deserves a beating. You don’t know, but he always used his feet to kick others.”
Song Yu’s mouth tightened. “Don’t get involved in this kind of thing in the future.”
“Okay.” Le Zhishi closed his eyes again, as if he had entered a warm cocoon. He emptied his mind and said softly, “Actually, I almost don’t remember what my parents look like.”
Song Yu patted him. “Aren’t there photos on your bedside table?”
“The photos don’t move. The real person is different from the photos.” Le Zhishi asked, “Have you seen them before?”
“Yes.” When Song Yu thought of their names, the first thing that came to his mind was the scene of their wedding. On a beach, there was a small arch made of flowers. There were not many guests, and he was one of the flower boys. At that time, he probably couldn’t remember anything, but he unexpectedly had a deep impression of it.
That was his initial feeling of a beautiful marriage.
It was just that most beautiful things were fragile.
“They are very good people.” Song Yu patted Le Zhishi’s thin back. “Your mother is very beautiful, and the macaroni she makes is very delicious. Her voice is very gentle, and she speaks a little Chinese. Your father is very funny, and the birthday present he gave me is the most special one I have ever received. ”
Le Zhishi rubbed against his shoulder. His voice was a little muffled, and he felt that he was about to fall asleep. “What present?”
“A hand-drawn map that he marked the places he had been to,” Song Yu said. “He said that he wanted to see more of the world.”
He also said that they could go to other places together in the future.
“He didn’t even draw it for me.” Le Zhishi hugged him tighter.
He probably planned to draw it for him after unlocking a new achievement. Song Yu thought that it might be after reaching the peak. But he couldn’t say it out loud. Le Zhishi gradually fell asleep as he continued to pat her. Song Yu tried to let go of his embrace, but Le Zhishi seemed to be able to sense something. If he retreated a little, he would be able to rub into his embrace.
He was already so old, and coaxing him to sleep was still a very laborious task.
Le Zhishi slept soundly. When the alarm rang, he was the only one in bed. The lunch break was very short. Looking at the watch, only ten minutes had passed, but it seemed to be fully charged. He lay in Song Yu’s blanket for a while in a daze. Then, he rolled half a circle with the blanket and wrapped himself up. Then, he rolled back and untied himself.
So comfortable.
There were two knocks on the door. Le Zhishi looked up and saw Song Yu, who had changed into another set of school uniform, standing at the door. He neatly tied his school uniform tie. “Let’s go.”
“Oh, right away.”
Standing at the entrance, Le Zhishi deliberately checked his appearance in the mirror. His eyes were indeed swollen. Fortunately, they were big enough. Otherwise, they would have looked very ugly. The corners of his mouth seemed to be better than before. Le Zhishi licked them.
What a bitter smell.
Song Yu drove him to school. On the way, the smell of roasted chestnuts drifted far away. While waiting at a red light, Le Zhishi jumped off the bike and bought a big bag of chestnuts. He sat in the back seat and ate happily. When they arrived at the school gate, Song Yu parked the car. When he turned around, he saw Qin Yan, who had also parked the car and was smiling slyly. Qin Yan shook his head and was speechless. It was as if he had bumped into something good.
“You stood me up again for your brother.”
“Shut up.” Song Yu turned around and was about to leave. He had forgotten that Le Zhishi was next to him. He bumped into Le Zhishi, causing him to stumble back half a step. The bag of roasted chestnuts in his hand almost fell out, but he caught it tightly.
“It hurts.” Le Zhishi covered his elbow with his hand. There were still bruises on it from the fight during the day.
Qin Yan stepped forward and held Le Zhishi’s shoulder as if he had seen a treasure. “Oh my, let me see our Le Zhishi’s glorious battle record. It’s so amazing. I didn’t believe them at first.”
Le Zhishi looked up at him and said seriously, “It’s not something to be proud of.”
“Pfft.” Qin Yan couldn’t help but laugh. The more he laughed, the more excited he became. “Your brother is too open-minded. He even knows that fighting isn’t a good thing.”
Song Yu couldn’t be bothered with him. He said to Le Zhishi, “Don’t stay in the classroom alone after the evening self-study period. If you want to do homework and memorize vocabulary, come to our activity room on the fifth floor.”
There was an activity room on every floor of the high school. It was specially prepared for students who wanted to memorize during self-study period.
“Really?” Le Zhishi was so pleased with himself that the corners of his mouth twitched. It hurt so much that he covered his mouth again. “Can I go?”
“Of course you can, just say my name …” Qin Yan wanted to hold Le Zhishi, but Le Zhishi came out and went back to Song Yu’s side, causing him to make a feint. “Eh?”
Song Yu glanced at him. “You can go in.”
Le Zhishi nodded and obediently walked into the school gate. After a few steps, he remembered something and turned back. He stuffed the paper bag of fried chestnuts into Song Yu’s hands. When he heard Song Yu say, “Wait for me after school.” He nodded and said, “I can’t finish eating.” Then he left.
The bag was heavy. Song Yu opened it and saw that it was full of peeled chestnuts. They were golden, round, and still warm.
“Hey, it’s so nice to have a brother …”
“Shut up.”
Le Zhishi was in a good mood the whole afternoon, probably because he knew that he could go to the fifth floor after the evening self-study period. Although more than five people ran over to him and felt sorry for his face.
After the evening self-study period, he began to pack his bag. This was different from what Jiang Yufan had expected. Jiang Yufan quickly grabbed his bag and ran to Group 4. “You’re not staying here to do homework tonight.”
“Okay.”
Jiang Yufan could tell that Le Zhishi’s tone was quite obvious. It was like the “Ang” that some people liked to use on the internet. Now, Le Zhishi’s tone was high and nasal.
“Then let’s go back together. I’m hungry and want to eat hot dry noodles. I don’t know if the stall is open today.”
“But I want to go to the activity room on the fifth floor opposite.” Le Zhishi had an apologetic expression on his face. “We can walk over together from the long corridor.”
I see.
Le Zhishi climbed up to the fifth floor. The activity room was right next to Song Yu’s classroom. Coincidentally, the third year students were having a break and there were many people standing in the corridor. Le Zhishi’s junior high school uniform was particularly eye-catching.
“Hey, isn’t this Song Yu’s …”
After being recognized, Le Zhishi suddenly remembered that he had a black eye. He lowered his head and walked quickly into the activity room. He did not even look at Song Yu’s classroom.
The activity room was not big. There were eight desks, two small sofas, and a whiteboard. To Le Zhishi’s surprise, there was a girl wearing the same junior high school uniform as him. She looked familiar and seemed to be a third year student. Le Zhishi had just picked a seat by the window when he saw Qin Yan walk in with a bunch of snacks in his hands. He placed them on the table. “Le Zhishi, eat some if you’re hungry.”
“Thank you, Qin Yan gege.”
Before he could say anything, the bell rang. Qin Yan quickly returned to the classroom. Le Zhishi looked at the snacks on the table and saw the box of cheese yogurt again. He did not eat the rest. He only poked the yogurt open and took a big sip.
“Classmate.”
Hearing someone speak, Le Zhishi looked up. It was the junior high school girl he had noticed earlier. Le Zhishi raised his eyebrows. “What’s up?”
“You’re Le Zhishi, right?” The girl ran over with her vocabulary book. She seemed to be very friendly. “You stood up for Cheng Mingming in our class this morning. You were so cool.”
Le Zhishi was a little embarrassed. He leaned back in his chair. “Actually, I’m not …”
“Don’t be modest. You’re famous now. Many girls in our class are praising you.”
Seeing that she was going to continue talking, Le Zhishi tried to change the topic. “Why are you here? Aren’t you going home? ”
The girl laughed. “Me? I’m studying here. I’m waiting for my boyfriend to finish his class.”
B-Boyfriend?
Looking at Le Zhishi’s wide eyes, the girl asked again, “What about you?”
