Lovely Allergen - Chap 3

The stadium was filled with people.

Le Zhishi lay on his side on the ground. His symptoms were getting worse. He wanted to take deep breaths, but the flow of air into his body was getting weaker and weaker. It was as if there was a hole in his chest that was leaking air. Before he could even take a breath, he started coughing violently.

Sensing that his student’s condition was very bad, Wang Qian was also very anxious. “Le Zhishi, what’s wrong? Are you okay? Can you talk? “He helped Le Zhishi up and patted his back.” Try to take deep breaths. Slow down. ”

Just when everyone didn’t know what to do, a white figure broke into the light blue crowd and broke through the crowd.

“Spread out. Don’t crowd around him.”

The surrounding classmates were shocked. No one expected that Song Yu, who had just spoken on the stage, would appear here at this moment.

Wang Qian was also a little surprised to see Song Yu. This was also a student he had taught before. Back then, he felt that this child was very cold and didn’t even have many good friends. He didn’t seem like the type to be brave.

Song Yu squatted down and half-hugged Le Zhishi, who could no longer speak. He adjusted his sitting position and then took out the medicine from his pocket.

Seeing the medicine, Wang Qian was a little confused. He asked carefully, “Song Yu, can he use this medicine? I’ve already called the emergency personnel at the school hospital. They’ll be here soon. ”

“It’s too late. This is his medicine. “Song Yu was so calm that he didn’t seem like a student. He was more like a professional emergency personnel. He looked up and ordered the people around him, “Everyone, spread out a little more.”

He loosened Le Zhishi’s school uniform tie and unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt to expose his neck. He put an arm around his shoulders and stabilized his head. With his other hand, he aimed the aerosol directly at Le Zhishi’s mouth. His movements were smooth and fast. “Le Zhishi, take the medicine.”

At this moment, Le Zhishi’s forehead was covered in cold sweat and his lips were slightly purple. He instinctively grabbed Song Yu’s arm and used all his strength to suck the mist into his lungs.

It had been a long time since he had an asthma attack. The feeling of uncontrollable tears and breathing came crashing down like waves. Everything was blank, but he could hear Song Yu’s voice, which gave him an invisible comfort.

“Again.”

They had been in the same class for two years, but this was the first time the surrounding students had seen such a scene. They were all stunned. Those who were familiar with him more or less knew that he was allergic, but it was usually just a rash. It had never been this serious.

A few minutes later, Le Zhishi’s heaving chest recovered bit by bit. His breathing was no longer as rapid and weak as before.

“Are you feeling better?” Wang Qian was still worried. “I still need to send you to the infirmary to rest.”

“Yes,” said Wang Yao. Song Yu removed the medicine bottle and looked away from his pale face. He inadvertently glanced at a package on the ground with the word “bread” printed on it.

He reached out and placed his palm on Le Zhishi’s chest to feel his heartbeat. Then, he grabbed his arm and turned it over. He checked his neck to check the rash.

Although the symptoms were alleviated, Le Zhishi’s consciousness was still lagging. Every time he had an asthma attack, he would develop a strong sense of dependence, like a fledgling whose life was saved in the midst of a struggle.

During the emergency treatment, he couldn’t think of anything. He only knew that Song Yu must be saving him. After he recovered, Le Zhishi wanted to confirm it, so he weakly looked up and saw Song Yu’s face. Only then did he feel relieved.

“Brother …” His voice was weak, and his fingers weakly held onto Song Yu’s arm. The illness swept through him like a gale. His remaining willpower made him completely forget the promise and disguise.

Jiang Yufan, who had sharp ears, repeated it without thinking, “Brother … Brother?!”

This word passed through a layer of human-shaped loudspeakers and spread like ripples.

Song Yu was Le Zhishi’s “brother”.

On the day of the opening ceremony, this secret that Le Zhishi had kept for two years was known by the whole school.

There were always a few outstanding students in a school. They were either talked about or surrounded.

Le Zhishi and Song Yu were typical examples. However, no one expected that these two people who usually had nothing to do with each other would have such a close relationship.

The news spread the fastest in the dense crowd. Not long after, the accident at the opening ceremony became the topic of everyone’s discussion.

Le Zhishi’s childhood had never been peaceful.

When he first came to the Song family, he was transferred to a kindergarten class. There were no familiar children, and there was a language barrier. Most importantly, he looked different from everyone. He was often surrounded like an animal in an acrobatic troupe. He was even bullied by some older children, who gave him nicknames like “yellow hair” and “little bastard”.

He didn’t like kindergarten and didn’t want to go to school every day. He only wanted to hide at home and draw. He would cry at the entrance of kindergarten and be carried out of the car.

Although he was often surrounded in primary school, at least Song Yu was there. When he was unhappy, he would look for Song Yu. Sometimes, when Song Yu finished class, he would look back and see the pitiful Le Zhishi leaning against the door frame at the back of the classroom, like a puppy that hadn’t been weaned.

As his peers gradually became more sensible, fewer people ostracized him, and everyone gradually got used to it. Later, the taste of children who grew up changed. More and more people began to think that Le Zhishi was good-looking. He was so good-looking that he left his peers in the dust. He also had a good personality. Le Zhishi, who was bullied, inexplicably became the target of admiration. In short, there was no end to it.

Le Zhishi didn’t like to be the center of attention and didn’t want to be publicly executed at the opening ceremony. However, in the end, he became the focus of the whole school in an even more spectacular way.

Lying on the bed in the infirmary, he stared at the ceiling in a daze. The doctor on duty examined him. He obediently cooperated like a soulless toy. After the examination, he lay down and continued to rest.

His steady breathing made him feel at ease.

Since he was young, Le Zhishi had a rich imagination. He could associate a small stain on the ceiling with a hermit crab on the white beach, and then from the small space in its shell, he could associate it with a karst cave or even a black hole.

Just as he was exploring the universe in the ceiling, the door suddenly opened. Le Zhishi turned over and pulled the bed curtain open a small gap. He glanced at it, but when he saw Jiang Yufan’s face, he fell back on the bed in disappointment.

“Le?” Jiang Yufan lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of waking him up.

“I didn’t sleep.” Le Zhishi sat up from the bed and pulled the curtain open. “It’s over? That was fast. ”

“Yes.” Jiang Yufan took his schoolbag and handed him a carton of milk. “You’re not allergic to this, are you? I see you drink it usually.” Seeing him shake his head, Jiang Yufan was relieved. “The teacher said that you don’t have to go back to report. You can go home directly after you’ve rested.”

Le Zhishi sucked on the milk. “Miss Wang didn’t call my parents, right?”

This was an accident. He was careless and didn’t want Aunt Rong to worry about him.

“I don’t know. Anyway, he stopped Song Yu and talked for a while. He probably wanted to understand the situation.” At this point, Jiang Yufan became more confident. “I knew it couldn’t be such a coincidence. He just happened to pick up the nameplate and recognized you. He ran down from the podium to give you first aid in the middle of his speech. He also happened to have your medicine on him. If you didn’t call him ‘brother’ at the end, I would have suspected that you two have an unspeakable relationship. ”

Hearing the last sentence, Le Zhishi quivered. “No, no, no. How could that be?” After saying that, he explained, “We’re not biological brothers.”

In fact, he regretted it very much. When he woke up and recovered his strength, he recalled the scene of him calling Song Yu ‘brother’ in front of everyone. Le Zhishi beat his chest and stamped his feet in regret.

“Not biological brothers? Cousins? “Jiang Yufan suddenly understood.” I knew it. You two don’t look alike at all. You don’t even have the same surname. ”

“That’s not it either. Listen to me.” Le Zhishi zipped up his bag again and gave him a simple explanation of his foster care situation.

Although he played it down, no matter how silly Jiang Yufan was, he was still somewhat surprised. “I see …”

The word foster care was too heavy for teenagers like them. It equated to misfortune, misery, and living under someone else’s roof.

Jiang Yufan thought to himself, “No wonder Le Zhishi pretended not to know Song Yu at school.” He scratched his head. “Then, then … his family treats you well, right?”

Le Zhishi smiled. “Yes, they treat me like their own.”

“That’s good, that’s good. But, “Jiang Yufan asked again,” why didn’t they just be straightforward? I mean, adoption … “He said the word very softly.

Le Zhishi didn’t seem to mind. “Oh, I asked that before. Uncle said that my parents are great people. They are my only parents, and no one in the world can replace them. He hoped that I would remember them. And they said that even without this program, they would take good care of me. “He added,” Uncle Song is my father’s best friend. They grew up together like brothers. ”

“I see …” Jiang Yufan looked relieved. He patted him on the shoulder and said seriously, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. I’m very tight-lipped.”

“It’s okay.” Le Zhishi lowered his head and suddenly found that his buttons were undone. His tie was also pulled open, but he didn’t remember when he was semi-conscious. He even muttered as he buttoned up, “What’s going on …”

“Your brother … no, Song Yu undid it during the emergency treatment.” Jiang Yufan continued, “You definitely didn’t see it. The way he rushed down from the stage was so cool.”

Le Zhishi really didn’t see it. It was a pity, but he could imagine it. Looking down, Le Zhishi saw the black spots on the tips of his shoes. He thought of the haze he imagined before he got sick. He was shrouded by the dark clouds and trapped.

The way Song Yu rushed down was probably like a sharp beam of light that broke through the haze and found him.

This scene materialized in front of Le Zhishi’s eyes. A sense of joy rose in his heart, and even the milk became sweet. When he took out his school bag, he found that it was bulging. He opened the zipper and saw the gift box he received in the morning. “You even put this in?”

“I thought you’d go to Class 11 after you were done.”

“Okay.” He squeezed the milk box and threw it into the trash can. After tying his tie, he used his swinging leg to touch Jiang Yufan’s leg. “Let’s go home and eat.”

It was early September in Jiangcheng. The lush branches of the Luan trees that hadn’t been pruned for many years almost reached through the window on the third floor. These warm green leaves were blocked by the closed glass window and looked pitiful.

It was just like when Le Zhishi was a child and looked at Song Yu through the glass door of the study. His chubby face was squeezed out of shape.

Jiang Yufan had been Le Zhishi’s classmate since the first year of junior high. He knew about his allergy, but he didn’t expect it to be so serious. He asked curiously, “How did you know you were allergic? If it’s so serious, it should have been very dangerous when you first found out. ”

First time …

Actually, he had some impression of it, but it wasn’t very deep. Moreover, he had been to the hospital too many times when he was a child, so it had diluted his memory of the first time he found out about his symptoms.

“I don’t remember. I was only three years old at that time. I think I was hospitalized.”

“Three years old!” Jiang Yufan couldn’t imagine. “You were scary enough today. Fortunately, your brother was here. I just searched on Baidu and was scared to death. It turns out that asthma can kill people if they don’t have medicine with them.”

Le Zhishi comforted him. “What happened today was a very small probability event. It was the worst of the worst.”

But then he remembered that Song Yu seemed to be there when he first had an attack.

After saying goodbye to the doctor on duty, the two of them were ready to go downstairs. Unexpectedly, as soon as they went out, they met a pretty girl with short hair. She was wearing the same junior high school uniform as them. Her face was red and her voice was very soft. “Le Zhishi …”

Le Zhishi didn’t look familiar. He looked at Jiang Yufan for help.

Jiang Yufan thought of something and lowered his voice to remind his best friend. “This is the girl who gave you the gift. She’s from Class 11.”

Le Zhishi said in a low voice.

“Are, are you okay?”

“I’m fine. I’m better now.” Le Zhishi said thank you.

The girl was relieved. She tucked her hair behind her ear. “I went to your class to look for you this morning. You weren’t in school yet, so I put the gift in your desk …”

Le Zhishi saw her ears and blushed.

“I hope you like it.”

The sun was so bright that the girl’s voice was drowned out by the chirping of the cicadas.

He held the strap of his school bag and was silent for two seconds. In the end, he unzipped it and took out the gift box. He handed it back to her with both hands.

Jiang Yufan couldn’t bear to look. This scene was too suffocating. He turned his head and looked down from the third floor. To his surprise, he saw a familiar figure. He was very tall and was wearing a white shirt.

Wasn’t that Song Yu? Jiang Yufan narrowed his eyes and took a closer look.

It was really him!

Song Yu was pushing his trolley towards them. He stopped under a camphor tree and looked down at his watch. When he looked up again, his eyes met with Jiang Yufan’s.

His aura was so strong that even Jiang Yufan, who was a few meters away, was shocked by his cold gaze. He immediately turned his head and pretended that nothing had happened.
