Lovely Allergen - Chap 7
Song Yu briefly told Le Zhishi about his first allergic reaction, omitting his subjective emotions and mental journey, and ended it in a few words.
After listening, Le Zhishi only had one thought in his mind — Song Yu wouldn’t give him anything good to eat now.
This made Le Zhishi a little depressed. But he didn’t say it out loud, because it would make him seem a little childish. But in Song Yu’s eyes, there was another explanation for his depression. For example, he couldn’t accept the fact that he was almost killed by Song Yu.
So the two of them didn’t continue the conversation.
When he returned to school in the afternoon, the girls in his class surrounded him and attacked him out of curiosity. Le Zhishi also had a headache, so he could only beat around the bush. He didn’t directly tell them that he had lost his parents. He only said that his parents had a good relationship and the two families were close, so they stayed at his house temporarily. This wasn’t a lie.
In fact, he didn’t think that losing his parents was a shameful thing, but once he told them, they would certainly show sympathetic expressions. Le Zhishi couldn’t get used to this.
He felt that he was quite happy and didn’t want to be a pitiful child in other people’s eyes.
In addition to their curiosity about his family, Le Zhishi didn’t expect that a bigger problem would appear — Song Yu’s suitors.
There were two teaching buildings in Peiya High School and Junior High School. There was a sky corridor between the two buildings, connecting the third floor of the two buildings. It was the only link between the two buildings. Coincidentally, Song Yu and Le Zhishi’s classes happened to be in these two buildings. In this way, it was very convenient to find people from different schools.
Many girls who pursued Song Yu didn’t get a response, so they came up with a roundabout way to save their country — plus Le Zhishi’s Q · Q to get information from him. To put it nicely, they were asking for help. Some even went directly to Le Zhishi’s class to block him. Most of them were seniors, so Le Zhishi didn’t know how to deal with them.
The evening self-study session ended at 9: 30 pm. Everyone was counting the seconds and waiting for the bell to ring. Like a wisp of smoke, they rushed out. Le Zhishi was not in a hurry to leave. The evening self-study session for the high school section ended at 9: 50 pm. He took his time to finish the questions and pack his bag. He was the last in class to leave.
He was like this every day.
When he reached the corridor on the third floor, Le Zhishi hesitated again. He raised his head and looked at the brightly lit classroom on the fifth floor of the teaching building. Time passed slowly. Le Zhishi sat in the corridor reading manga. At 9: 50, the bell rang, but there was no movement at the entrance of Class (5).
Sure enough, the Rocket Class of Grade 12 was very tough.
In the end, Le Zhishi rode home alone. Lin Rong simmered the yam pigeon soup, and the whole room was filled with its delicious aroma. As soon as the door was opened, the little Pomeranian ran to Le Zhishi’s feet. Le Zhishi picked her up. “Mian Mian, did you gain weight again? You’re so heavy.”
“Is it Le? You must be tired. ” Lin Rong threw some rice cake slices into the pot. When the rice cake was cooked until it was soft, she filled a bowl for Le Zhishi. She also cut a red heart dragon fruit and put it in a small bowl.
Le Zhishi sat on the carpet and took the soup bowl from Lin Rong’s hands. He asked casually, “Where’s Uncle?”
“He went abroad for business. He probably won’t be back until next week.” Lin Rong patted his head. “He said he’ll bring you a gift when he comes back.”
Le Zhishi happily took a big gulp and almost scalded his tongue.
“Be careful.” Lin Rong put the dragon fruit bowl next to him and went to the kitchen.
Sitting cross-legged on the carpet, Le Zhishi ate the rice cake soup while watching a variety show. When he finished the big bowl, he heard the sound of the door opening. He immediately put down the bowl and lay on the sofa to look outside.
Song Yu put the keys on the cabinet, changed his shoes, and came in. The cat in the house heard the noise and raised its head leisurely. It wagged its tail, meowed, and turned back to sleep.
“You’re back? Come here. ”
Song Yu listened to Lin Rong and went into the kitchen. Le Zhishi followed behind Song Yu and complained to him that he had recently become a tool. “They all add me as Q · Q, and the first thing they say is, can you tell me Song Yu’s Q · Q number? What’s the answer to the question he asked?”
“You said you don’t know.” Song Yu calmly drank the soup as if it had nothing to do with him.
“How can I not know? That’s lying. ” Le Zhishi muttered to himself. He couldn’t help but complain. “They ask questions like pea shooters. They turn on and off the moment they come up. They don’t even say a word of greeting.”
Song Yu thought it was a little funny that he said it so childishly at the beginning and even used a word at the end. “You still know how to greet.”
Le Zhishi felt that he was being underestimated. He frowned. “Of course I know.”
“Our Le has grown up. He didn’t even know what a sister-in-law was.” Lin Rong couldn’t help but laugh. “He even said he wanted to be his own sister-in-law.”
Hearing this, Song Yu glanced at him, then looked away lightly.
That was a long time ago. Le Zhishi started learning Chinese later than other children. He couldn’t understand the complicated relationship between relatives in China. Every time he heard the children in his class talk about uncle, aunt, nephew, he was confused. That day, he heard from his classmate that he had a beautiful sister-in-law. He was very curious. When he got home, he asked Song Yu what a sister-in-law was.
“A sister-in-law is a brother’s wife,” Song Yu replied.
Lin Rong also teased him. “You’ll have to leave home after you get married.”
This sentence left a huge shock in Le Zhishi’s little heart.
He thought for a long time. If Brother Song Yu had a wife and he had a sister-in-law, wouldn’t they have to separate? He would have his own family in the future. They wouldn’t live in the same house anymore.
That won’t do!
Le Zhishi hugged Song Yu’s arm and acted like a spoiled child. “Brother Yu, I don’t want a sister-in-law.”
Papa Song teased him. “How can that be? If you don’t want a sister-in-law, your brother won’t get a wife.”
Le Zhishi had an innocent face. “Then I’ll be your sister-in-law!”
Song Yu’s face was full of question marks. Le Zhishi suddenly felt that something was wrong and immediately changed his words. “No, no, I’ll be my sister-in-law!”
Since then, this innocent child’s words became Le Zhishi’s dark history in the Song family. Everyone would joke about it from time to time. Every time it was mentioned, they would see a rare moment of anger from Le Zhishi.
For example, right now.
“I was only five years old at that time. You guys are too much!” He said as he walked out. He looked like a stiff little robot, simulating the situation of an angry human.
“Isn’t that right? At this age, she’s already a child bride.” Lin Rong was amused by Le Zhishi. She leaned on her son’s shoulder and laughed. Suddenly, there was a scream outside.
Song Yu paused for two seconds. He put down the bowl and went to the living room. He saw Le Zhishi holding Cotton Candy. “Why are you eating like this? Who told you to eat the dragon fruit secretly? Hmm? Do you want to dye your fur? ”
Cotton Candy, who was supposed to be snow-white, now had rose-red juice all over her mouth and face. Her two black grape-like eyes looked very innocent.
“It’s no use looking at me. Next time, you can’t just eat casually. What if it’s something you can’t eat? Do you still want to go to the hospital? Every time you go to the hospital, you throw a tantrum. ”
It was a false alarm. Song Yu stood far away and watched him talk to himself and educate the puppy. It was like a child pretending to be an adult. His words were clear and logical. Every sentence was very familiar.
“You really don’t let people have peace of mind.” Le Zhishi finally said this sentence. He had the attitude of an adult. After scolding, he picked up Cotton Candy and turned around, almost bumping into Song Yu.
“Watch where you’re going,” Song Yu said.
Le Zhishi slipped into the bathroom and bathed Cotton Candy and himself. In the end, he was exhausted. He lay on the bed, vibrating non-stop. Le Zhishi was at his wit’s end. He could only force himself to reply to them. He said that he didn’t know the answer to the friend request. He also didn’t allow himself to give Q. He said that he would be miserable if he acted on his own.
It really would be miserable. He had done this when he was young.
After sending the message, Le Zhishi turned off his phone and fell asleep. He dreamed that when he was in elementary school, he was coaxed by a senior girl to give Song Yu a love letter. In the end, he was ignored by Song Yu for a week. He almost woke up in shock.
Mercilessly rejecting girls on behalf of Song Yu was something that Le Zhishi rarely did. However, it was very effective. He had many days of peace and quiet.
However, what he didn’t expect was that because of Le Zhishi’s rejection of the senior girls and the fact that the two of them didn’t interact with each other, there were many strange rumors circulating around the school. Some said that he had a different father, and some said that he was living under someone else’s roof. It was more exaggerated than the plot of a melodramatic novel. However, among the many rumors, there was a constant theme, and that was that the brothers didn’t get along.
As the news spread, it also reached the ears of the people involved. Le Zhishi felt that he was like a little mouse crawling and rolling, falling from one gray pit into another, causing endless trouble. He explained again and again, but no one listened.
After two consecutive math classes, Le Zhishi’s head felt like it had been injected with an anesthetic. In a daze, he received the homework from the math class representative. He took out a red pen and prepared to correct it. However, as he looked at it, he bit the end of the pen.
“Arc Length asked for the wrong thing again …”
Jiang Yufan didn’t even open his workbook. “Finally, it’s the first PE class of the semester!” He pulled Le Zhishi’s arm. “Let’s go, let’s go.”
“Oh …” Le Zhishi took a deep breath. He suddenly felt something sweet in his mouth. He looked at the end of the pen that he had just bitten. The ink was leaking!
Le Zhishi’s first reaction was to touch his mouth. Sure enough, his hand was covered in red.
“What’s wrong with you?” Jiang Yufan looked at Le Zhishi who ran out. He was confused. After looking around, he saw Le Zhishi coming out of the toilet. He pursed his lips tightly and didn’t say anything. The class bell rang immediately. The two of them ran to the field and gathered at the last minute. At least they didn’t get scolded by the PE teacher.
Everyone ran to warm up. Le Zhishi didn’t open his mouth the whole time. After they were dismissed, he covered his mouth with his hand and told Jiang Yufan that he needed to go to the toilet. Jiang Yufan thought that he really had a stomachache. He didn’t ask much and went to play basketball with the other boys.
The girls in the class walked through the field to the snack bar in the cafeteria. When they saw the other class, they started to make a fuss. Le Zhishi didn’t care about the others. He felt embarrassed and wanted to find a place to hide and wipe the red ink off his mouth.
Maybe he should think of a way to go home.
But he had to ask for leave …
Or maybe he could go to the cafeteria’s washroom to wash up. He could look in the mirror.
After he thought about it, Le Zhishi pursed his lips and lowered his head. He walked through the field behind the group of girls. The artificial grass was stepped on. He raised his foot and stubbornly raised his head again. The grass rustled.
As he walked, he didn’t pay attention and bumped into someone. It wasn’t a light collision. He quickly apologized. “Sorry.”
“Isn’t this Le Zhishi?”
It was a familiar voice. Le Zhishi looked up. The person who spoke was Song Yu’s childhood classmate, Qin Yan. He was also his only friend.
Qin Yan glanced at Song Yu. “Your brother’s big eyes are really going to be decorations. He can’t even bear to use them.”
Le Zhishi wanted to refute, but he couldn’t open his mouth. He just shook his head and didn’t say anything.
“I saw you from afar. I watched you walk over here step by step. Finally, you bumped into your brother like a little magnet. Fortunately, you didn’t bump into me. Otherwise, I would have fallen to the ground. “Qin Yan joked with a nasal voice. He even elbowed the expressionless Song Yu.” Right? ”
Song Yu said lazily, “If you’re sick, then go get treated.”
“That won’t do. Even if I’m sick, I still have to be Yuyu’s most loyal cheerleader.”
Song Yu held a basketball in his hand. Le Zhishi guessed that he was going to play basketball. If it was in the past, he would definitely want to stick to Song Yu. But now, it was too embarrassing. He just wanted to run. He lowered his head and said quickly, “Sorry, I accidentally bumped into you. I have to go. Goodbye.”
Le Zhishi bypassed the two of them and was about to slip away. Unexpectedly, his arm was suddenly grabbed.
If he acted out of character, he would give himself away.
Turning around, Le Zhishi saw Song Yu’s gaze move down to his mouth. After a while, he threw the basketball in his hand to Qin Yan. Without saying a word, he pulled Le Zhishi in another direction.
“Huh?” Le Zhishi stumbled. When he realized that he was not going to let him pull him, he could not shake him off. He closed his mouth and mumbled. Like a tug-of-war, he held Song Yu’s hand with both hands and leaned back, not letting him go.
Seeing him like this, Song Yu also stood still. The sun was so bright that Le Zhishi could not open his eyes. A few girls walked past and all looked back.
Song Yu suddenly let go. Le Zhishi fell back and sat on the ground with a thud. He was dumbfounded.
Song Yu squatted down in front of him. Le Zhishi’s chin was between his thumb and forefinger, pinching his face with his index finger and thumb. His lips were forced open, revealing his red incisors.
“I knew it.”
Le Zhishi quickly covered his mouth and moved back with his butt against the grass.
It was too embarrassing.
“Why are you hiding?” Song Yu pinched his face and examined it carefully. After he was done, he pulled him up. “Are you going to class like this?”
Since he had been discovered, Le Zhishi gave up and walked with Song Yu in despair. It was as if Song Yu was holding a soulless balloon doll.
“Can you walk slower? My butt hurts. ”
Song Yu did not say anything, but he did walk slower.
It was the infirmary again.
Le Zhishi whispered that he was not sick, but Song Yu did not respond. He just held Le Zhishi’s hand and walked inside. The doctor on duty had come to visit again. There was no one else in the room. Song Yu asked Le Zhishi to sit on a chair. He went next door to look for the doctor. In the end, he came back with a bottle of medical alcohol and a box of cotton swabs.
“What is this?” Le Zhishi watched him walk over and pull a chair to sit in front of him.
Song Yu pinched his face and ordered expressionlessly, “Open your mouth.”
Le Zhishi opened his mouth obediently. His lips were fine, but his teeth and tongue were covered with the red ink of the pen. It was really funny.
Song Yu dipped the cotton swab in the alcohol and carefully wiped the stained area. Le Zhishi’s heart was pounding. He was a little worried that this thing would not be clean. He still had to go to class for a day. It was too uncomfortable to keep his mouth shut.
He did not know why, but he suddenly thought of the cotton candy that he had secretly eaten the red heart dragon fruit last night. He could not help but sigh. They were really the owner and the puppy.
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Song Yu suddenly laughed. His voice was very soft, so soft that Le Zhishi suspected that he had heard wrongly.
“You really make people worry.”
