Shen Er An pursed his lips, he didn't seem to understand the reason, his brows were furrowed with confusion, and soon returned to his usual calmness.
Jiao Bai just asked casually, and didn't want to go to the bottom of this, and didn't even want to know the answer. This person, shouldn't worry too much, he just cared about activity.
Jiao Bai found that his activity level with Shen Er An had changed from 29.5 to 30, and the increase of 0.5 was negligible. He was both worried and happy.
The worry was that he had broken three ribs, and Shen Er An's interest in him did not increase much. It seemed that in Shen Er An's heart, Jiao Bai was such a person who would protect his friends regardless of his own danger, so he was not surprised.
The good news was that fortunately, the degree of interest had little to do with knifes piercing both sides.*
*to attach a great importance to friendship, up to the point of being able to sacrifice oneself for it.
Otherwise, if the relationship was big, then he was afraid that he would tear apart all his arms and legs in order to get closer to the other seven friends.
Jiao Bai noticed that Shen Er An had put the cloth bag he brought over on his bedside, and he was a little curious: "What's in there?" It didn't look like fruit.
Shen Er An took out a stack of test papers and exercise books from the cloth bag and sorted them out.
Those were all the homework that Jiao Bai didn't finish last week due to an accident, as well as the papers of various subjects that were handed out this week, as well as Shen Er An's notes.
Jiao Bai: "..."
You didn't have to.
Outside the ward, the dean looked at them with his hands behind his back and left.
The attending doctor followed in a small step: "Dean, do you want to notify Director Shen?"
The dean kept walking: "That big man forgets a lot, and notifying him will look like making a fuss out of minor things."
The attending doctor hesitated and said, "But the patient inside and Young Master Shen..."
The dean lowered his voice: "Why, do you see that the love between children is just beginning to bloom, hazy and ambiguous, or is it the pink bubbles that young people often talk about?"
The attending doctor recalled the patient's relationship with Young Master Shen since he was admitted to the hospital, and the scene of Young Master Shen sending him to the hospital, and said with certainty: "That's not true."
"It's just the friendship between classmates." The dean recalled the past and said with emotion, "If this can go from school to society and walk together all the way, then it is a true friend, which is much more solid and precious than any kind of love."
"That's right... don't we give prior notice to The old lady Shen? When she finds out, will she blame us for not reporting it?" The attending doctor was a little overwhelmed just thinking about it.
The dean immediately became strict: "What do we know?"
"We are doctors, and we always only pay attention to the patient's condition, not the patient's private affairs. We don't know anything else, we don't know anything!" The dean lectured with a straight face.
The attending doctor pulled off the mask and winked: "Dean, after talking so much, you are actually afraid of that old lady."
Dean: "..."
"Go back to your consulting room." He turned his back and walked forward.
A person who twists Buddhist bead and recited the compassion of Amitabha Buddha might also be the most vicious person
The wealthy old lady was not a vegetarian.*
*In this context it means someone who should not to be trifled with.
Jiao Bai was discharged after staying in the hospital for about a week. Shen Er An hired a nurse for him. He was a local uncle. He would go back to his home at night and came over during the day.
What did Jiao Bai going to do at night, he called Shen Er An from the next room to help him.
Now the gold medal of being his best friend fell in Jiao Bai's hands, he would make good use of it.
Jiao Bai lay on his side on the bed and checked Weibo for a while, then WeChat. He hadn't knocked on Zhang Zhen these days. The other party didn't find him either.
It had been so long, and he still took the initiative every time. That did not work.
Let's do an experiment this time, he wanted to see if Zhang Zhen would contact him if he didn't take the initiative.
If not, then he would have to change his strategy.
After Jiao Bai lay down for a while, he called the nurse to help him get up and walk around. It was too painful to lie down, so it was better to stand up. He moved to the bathroom to look in the mirror, tsk, the little flesh he raised was gone again.
"Uncle, what's for dinner tonight?"
The uncle ordered a few dishes.
Jiao Bai had no desire at all, he had a whim, and quickly sent a message to one of the three numbers on his phone.
After the first class in the afternoon, the deputy class leader came to Shen Er An to say something. The senior high school students were celebrating the last New Year's Day in high school, they wanted to hold a party, and the program of class 7 hadn't been shown yet.
Usually Shen Er An listened carefully and gave advice after listening, but this time he suddenly took out his mobile phone halfway.
Deputy class leader: "..." Class leader, mobile phones are not allowed in school, you take it out so blatantly, it's not good, right?
Shen Er An would only receive one person's message, so he checked it on the spot. The note he gave to the other party was the name.
Jiao Bai: My best buddy, I want to eat hot pot at night.
Shen Er An didn't think that Jiao Bai wanted to play, looking for trouble. He just told the deputy class leader "Let's talk later" and left the classroom. He found a place to call the doctor for confirmation before replying to Jiao Bai.
Shen: I asked the doctor, you can't eat hot pot yet.
Jiao Bai: I can!
Shen Er An seemed to be able to feel Jiao Bai's excitement and determination through these two words. He was a little at a loss as he had never dealt with this situation before.
Suddenly he was patted on the shoulder, and a prickly head approached, "Brother An, who are you sending messages to?"
Shen Er An put the phone back into his pocket: "Friend."
Liang Dong was greatly shocked. Apart from him, Brother An has other friends?
It was not that he was bold, it was that Brother An didn't get along with other people.
Liang Dong smiled curiously and asked, "Who is it, is it a girl? which class? Introduce me?"
Shen Er An walked to the classroom and not answering questions: "Dongzi, do you still hate Jiao Bai?
"Nonsense." Liang Dong's expression turned foul in no time, "Brother An, I really don't want to hear you mention him, I think came out of your mouth and got you dirty."
"Really, I was worried that you would be deceived by him and let him into our circle. Then other families would laugh at you if they knew about it?" Calling his old man's ex-lover as a brother, deeply affecting. The point is that that person still misses his father and uses him.
However, classmate Liang, who was full of disgust and contempt on his words, muttered at this moment: "Jiao Bai hasn't come to school for a week, do you think I should call and ask?"
Shen Er An, who hadn't responded just now, suddenly said, "Do you have his mobile phone number?"
Liang Dong said, "I have."
"Didn't I tell you, just that time, after school the day after the Fuyuan Building incident, he called me a lot and asked me if I was with you. It's inexplicable, you didn't hear his tone, it's completely different from usual," Liang Dong grumbling and swearing while talking, "he must have gotten my number from some grandson in class."
Shen Er An touched his pocket and took out a square piece of paper, which he folded as he walked.
Liang Dong saw Brother An throw the broken paper dragonfly into the trash, his face twitched. Brother An is so good at folding dragonflies, but recently he made mistakes once or twice.
Brother An has a secret. There is something he doesn't want to share with him.
Speaking of which, what's going on with Jiao Bai guy? Don't be dead and no one will collect the body.
With extreme reluctance, Liang Dong poked at the class group, and found Jiao Bai's female deskmate for a private chat. It seemed shameful to find someone to inquire about Jiao Bai, so he had to do it secretly. After all, he was always a picky thorn in front of the younger brothers, he couldn't get used to it.
The female deskmate didn't reply to the message.
When Liang Dong entered the classroom, she directly shouted at him in front of the whole class: "Are you asking me about Jiao Bai? I don't know if something happened to his family. If you are really worried, you can go and ask class leader!"
The class was silent for a second, and everyone looked at Liang Dong. Especially his little brothers.
Liang Dong: "..."
I won't be attending this class, Laozi skip the class, bye!
Jiao Bai was waiting for the hot pot at home, he waited and waited until the secretions in his mouth increased, his eyes glowed green, the whole person became ammonium stone.
But when Shen Er An really put the hot pot in front of Jiao Bai, he lost his appetite, pregnant mothers did not change as quickly as he did.
"Eat it, I'll watch you eat it."Jiao Bai forced a smile on his face, "If you eat it, I will eat it."
Shen Er An didn't like hot pot, he looked at Jiao Bai's expectant eyes, and quietly picked up the chopsticks.
Jiao Bai frowned, smelling the fragrance sluggishly: "By the way, does your family know what happened this time?"
Shen Er An shook his head.
Jiao Bai's expression was a little out of control, the young master settled it all by himself? How did he settle it?
Ah, by the way, he said it not long ago, there is someone he can use.
Well, for the main character to attack, it’s ok.
Jiao Bai's nerve endings began to relax and his tone became lazier: "Have you seen your own injuries?"
Shen Er An ate a piece of lettuce in the bowl: "It's okay." At the end, he added a few words, "It's all skin trauma."
Jiao Bai was a little dissatisfied, Young Master Shen was too boring and quiet, it was quite difficult when he was alone, he smacked his lips when he thought of the other party's avatar, so the frequency of talking was quite a lot, he would talk less in the future.
"You don't want people to know that you live with me."
Shen Er An looked at Jiao Bai with a haggard face. So the family didn't know that he had an accident and was injured. The new roommate broke three ribs for him and was lying here. Dongzi didn't know either.
Caught off guard, he was ridiculed by Jiao Bai who guessed his mind. Young Master Shen, I am really sorry, I am just like the gangster who beat you. I have pinpointed your temper andmaking sure that you won't reveal your life and studies to your family before I dare to move over.
Therefore, Jiao Bai would never tell others about his co-rental with Shen Er An. He tried to hide it as much as possible and delayed it as long as he could, preferably until the day when Shen Er An was settled.
That was the ideal situation.
If there was a sudden change, then counter every move. People were alive, there was always a way to go.
Jiao Bai avoided Shen Er An's penetrating eyes like his father's and said half-jokingly: "I was hit by what you said, my status is embarrassing, your grandma will think I'm going to dirty you when she finds out, then you have to kill me."Jiao Bai laughing out loud then continued, "Not only your grandma, but also your two fathers, they won't spare me."
Shen Er An looked at the boiling hot pot and raised his eyelids unresponsively: "Two father?"
"Shen Ji and Liang Dong." Jiao Bai teased.
Shen Er An's gaze stayed on Jiao Bai's face for a long time, he blinked his eyelashes lightly and said inexplicably, "This is the first time I've heard someone call him by his name."
"Not used to it? You will get used to it after listening to it more."
Jiao Bai couldn't help closing his eyes, half asleep and half awake thinking, when Qi Shuang came to school to confront him that day, he wondered why the other party didn't mention him moving to Shen Er An's place. It stood to reason that since Qi Shuang knew that he was in Class 7 of No. 3 High School, he would definitely check it out clearly and then go crazy and bite people.
It was only at this moment that Jiao Bai realized that Qi Shuang didn't missed any opportunity, or hadn't found it out, presumably Shen Er An did something to cover up
At this time, Shen Er An was a good boy and would silently cover for him.
When Jiao Bai fell into a deep sleep, the quilt was pressed down by a hand, a deep and gentle whisper sounded in his ear: "If you meet that person again, don't call it like that in front of him."
That person had already seen your rebellious bone that you thought was well hidden, so don't be caught by him.
Otherwise, you will be chained again.
That leash will be stronger than the first one. He will no longer hand over the dog chain to the old lady, but tie you up personally until your rebellious bones are pulled out by him, you lose your blood and self, and become a real pet that only knows how to submit to its master.
But now I am far from his opponent, unable to help you escape.
Jiao Bai didn't even know when Shen Er An left after eating the hot pot. He had a dream and the dream was about the death of his parents. Looking at the tombstone, weeping in despair.
Probably because of a broken rib, he subconsciously dared not move in his sleep.
He didn't know how long it had passed, Jiao Bai fell into a drowsy sleep and felt uncomfortable.
That kind of discomfort was not physical, but psychological, like being stripped of clothes and pants, and sticking a magnifying glass to the skin, considering inch by inch. Then take a very thin pen and trace it one stroke at a time.
Jiao Bai frowned and opened his eyes, and saw Old Dog Shen standing beside the bed smoking, smelling of alcohol and tobacco all over his body.
"It's a dream."
Jiao Bai closed his eyes and the next moment he was grabbed by his pajamas and lifted up, a cloud of strong smoke mixed with the smell of alcohol sprayed on his trembling eyelids: "Wake up from the dream, puppy."
