Shape

Chapter 3

Li Yichu got up early in the morning, and the pain in his injured leg last night was even more pronounced. When he put on his pants, the cloth hurt his leg, and he grinned. After getting up, he was afraid that his walking posture would be unnatural, so he gritted his teeth and did a few squats. After getting used to the feeling Only then did he leave the bedroom at a normal pace.

After Li Yichu washed up, he went to the kitchen to help Liu Fan make breakfast. The Liang family likes to eat thicker porridge. Li Yichu didn't like this kind of texture, but he never raised any objections. It's just that he usually eats less. Less than half of Liang Xuan's.

Liu Fan told Liang Xuan at the dinner table: "Isn't it time for the mid-term exam next week? Hurry up and review."

Liang Xuan: "I know."

Seeing Li Yichu bowing his head to eat, Liu Fan thought that what he said last night was a bit unpleasant, so he said to Li Yichu: "Yichu, if there is anything you don't know, let Liang Xuan teach you, brothers, don't see outsiders."

Li Yichu smiled: "Well, good."

Li Yichu never took the initiative to ask Liang Xuan how to do the questions. On the one hand, he was afraid of delaying Liang Xuan's time. On the other hand, it was also because there were basically no questions he could not understand, but he just didn't want to do it.

When Li Yichu was in primary school, he was very serious. At that time, he thought that he had to study well and have a good personality to be liked by everyone, so he usually studied very hard. In addition, he was smart, and his grades were always at the top of the school.At first, Liu Fan was really happy, and every time the two children came home with a certificate, they would praise them. Later, Li Yichu scored higher than Liang Xuan. It happened to be Chinese New Year, and many relatives’ children came to Liang’s family. I was amazed by Li Yichu's achievements, but Liang Xuan, who had always made Liu Fan proud, failed to become the focus of the family gathering this time.

At that time, Li Yichu had already developed the ability to quickly read Liu Fan's expression. At that time, he realized again that he was not from the Liang family. His excellence could not make the Liang family happy, but would make Aunt Liu uncomfortable.

Since then, Li Yichu's grades have remained at the middle level of the class. Later, Liang Xuan got into the key class of No. [-] Middle School, while he was only in the ordinary class.Li Yichu still remembered Liu Fan's excited and proud expression at that time. Of course, the expression on his comforting face was also sincere.

Maybe this is the difference, Liu Fan can't be unkind to Li Yichu, but she prefers to see her son excel.

After breakfast, the two went downstairs to push their bicycles in the corridor, Liang Xuan stood behind Li Yichu, took a few glances at his posture when he was going downstairs, and stopped him when he touched the handlebar: "Yichu, what's wrong with your leg? "

Li Yichu looked normal and said, "It's okay."

Liang Xuan squatted down, grabbed Li Yichu's knee, and was about to pull his pants up.Li Yichu hurriedly put his leg aside, and stammered: "It's okay, just, it's just a bruise."

Liang Xuan squatted in place, looked up at Li Yichu, and kept silent.

Li Yichu felt hairy all over from that gaze, he stretched his legs back hesitantly.

Liang Xuan froze for a few seconds after seeing the wound, the corners of his mouth tightened, and he touched the wound lightly with his fingers, and stopped immediately when he heard Li Yichu inhale.Li Yichu's skin was very fair, and the black color of the wound and the dense blood spots were set off so that it was hard to see.

Liang Xuan lowered his head: "Why didn't you tell me?"

Li Yichu's leg was held by Liang Xuan in his hand, this posture made him a little unsteady, he explained: "...I only found out when I was sleeping."

Liang Xuan squeezed his fingers and stood up, thinking that the beating of Lu Bin yesterday was really light. He pushed his bicycle out and said, "Don't ride your bicycle today, let's go to the hospital first."

Li Yichu tilted his head to look at Liang Xuan, and nodded with a smile after a few seconds.

Liang Xuan took Li Yichu to the hospital by bicycle, and he didn't answer Li Yichu's words all the way. Li Yichu sat in the back and guessed that Liang Xuan must still be angry.Perhaps Liang's father was too strict. Liang Xuan was taught to be well-behaved since he was a child.But he was an exception to Li Yichu. Li Yichu knew that Liang Xuan was rarely angry with him, but once he was angry, it was difficult to coax him.

Li Yichu rolled his eyes in the back seat, thinking about how to apologize, but when he went uphill, he felt himself falling backwards, so he quickly reached out and hugged Liang Xuan's waist.

Liang Xuan coughed twice: "Let go, sit down."

Li Yichu pressed against Liang Xuan's back: "No, I'm about to fall!"

Liang Xuan lowered his head to look at the hand around his abdomen, it was white and slender, like the person behind, beautiful and clean.Liang Xuan hooked the corners of his mouth, sat up straight so that Li Yichu could hold him firmly.

Liang Xuan sat next to him and watched the doctor apply medicine and bandage Li Yichu, with no expression on his face.Li Yichu's calf was so thin that he could hold his ankle with one hand. In the doctor's hands, he looked like a jade carving that could be broken at any time.Liang Xuan clenched his hands more and more tightly, all the while restraining the irritability in his heart. He was always calm and rarely had moments of emotional fluctuations. Looking at Li Yichu's legs, he didn't know how to be angry with Lu Bin and his gang. , I should still be angry at my family for raising Li Yichu so thin.

Ever since Li Yichu was kicked out by his mother at the age of seven and came back, his personality was completely different from Liang Xuan's impression. He was a lawless naughty boy, but suddenly he became very timid. He didn't even dare to speak at the dinner table. After finishing one bowl of rice, he dared not fill up the second bowl. At night, he was hungry and secretly got up to drink water.Liang Xuan didn't notice it at first, but once in the middle of the night when he went to the toilet, he saw Li Yichu sitting in the living room pouring water, and when he heard Liang Xuan's footsteps, he immediately put down his cup and got back under the covers.Liang Xuan thought he was thirsty in the middle of the night, so he didn't take it to heart, but he heard the movement of the living room for several nights in a row, Liang Xuan asked Li Yichu curiously: "You drink so much water, don't you go to the bathroom at night?"

Li Yichu was sitting on the small bed in the corner of the living room. He was pretending to be asleep, but Liang Xuan saw through and pulled him up. At this moment, he didn't dare to look up at Liang Xuan, and grabbed the quilt with one hand.

Liang Xuan has never been used to getting too close to people, but in the past Li Yichu would lean on him without moving. He was used to this soft little guy, so he put his hand on his shoulder: "What's wrong?"

Li Yichu looked at Liang Xuan and said, "Is the water very expensive? I won't drink so much in the future, I'm sorry..."

Liang Xuan never thought that Li Yichu would have such thoughts. He had been living the same life as before, and he didn't realize that Li Yichu had undergone earth-shaking changes.It was the first time that Liang Xuan felt this kind of distressed feeling towards someone other than his parents. He continued to ask: "Yi Chu, are you hungry?"

Li Yichu hesitated for a while before nodding.

Liang Xuan immediately got up and went to the kitchen, found bread and milk in the refrigerator and handed them to Li Yichu, and said in harmony: "From now on, if you are hungry, take something to eat. This is your home, don't be afraid."

After all, Li Yichu is just a child, and he likes whoever treats him well, but he knows that Liang Xuan is just a child in this family, and Uncle Liang is often not at home, so the one he needs to face often is Aunt Liu, who has already kicked him out once , as long as he behaves badly, there will be a second time soon.

He is an outsider, if he is too greedy and the Liang family is unwilling to spend money to support him, then he will be kicked out again, right?Li Yichu slowly began to understand that apart from his biological parents, no one would treat him unconditionally. If others help him, it is the kindness of others, and he should be grateful.

Liang Xuan watched Li Yichu eat the bread in one gulp, his fair face was like a porcelain doll, couldn't help but reach out to help him wipe the bread crumbs from the corner of his mouth.After drinking the milk, Li Yichu said with satisfaction, "Liang Xuan, you are so kind."

Liang Xuan smiled.

Li Yichu leaned over and kissed Liang Xuan sideways, his eyes were particularly bright: "Thank you."

Liang Xuan wiped his face with his hands stiffly, patted Li Yichu's head and said, "Go to sleep."

Since then, every time Liang Xuan eats at the dinner table, he will slow down his eating speed. When Li Yichu finishes the first bowl, he will take his bowl to serve the second bowl together, until Li Yichu gradually adjusts from being cautious at the beginning, they I became more and more like a family, and this habit was gradually eliminated.

Liang Xuan thought that he had always noticed Li Yichu's physical condition, but he didn't realize that he was too thin until now. Growing up in the same family, Li Yichu's height was not much lower than his own, but his weight was probably too light.

After the doctor finished bandaging, Liang Xuan drove Li Yichu to school, passing by a small stall selling rice candy, and suddenly remembered that when he was very young, he went to Li Yichu's house to play. If you want to go out to buy it, you will happily share it with Liang Xuan after you buy it.

"Yichu, do you want some rice candy?"

"Ah?" Li Yichu said unexpectedly.

Liang Xuan stopped the bicycle, bought two yuan before going to the street vendor, walked back, and handed it to Li Yichu: "Here."

Li Yichu looked at Mi Tang for a few seconds, his eyes drooping, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he quickly raised his head and said, "Thank you."

Liang Xuan drove him forward, saw a bakery by the side of the road, stopped and asked, "Yichu, do you want some bread?"

Before Li Yichu could answer, Liang Xuan went to the store and bought two breads with dried meat floss and handed them to him: "Eat this morning when I'm hungry."

Li Yichu still had unfinished rice candy in his hand, and now two more breads were stuffed in, and he said with a smile, "Liang Xuan, are you rich?"

Looking at his face at this moment, Liang Xuan suddenly felt that the edges and corners were too sharp, and he was indeed too thin, so he said, "Wait for me to go to the cafeteria at noon, you know?"

Li Yichu nodded: "Okay!"

As soon as Li Yichu entered the class, several girls surrounded him. "Li Yichu, do you still have spicy noodles? Where are the instant noodles?"

Li Yichu went to his seat and looked through the drawers, regretfully said: "It's gone, I'll go get some more at noon."

After Li Yichu entered high school, he had the same pocket money of 50 yuan a week as Liang Xuan. The Liang family only had the salary income of Liang Changping. It's just that I haven't spent much, and I have saved it.His pocket money comes from his own small business. Every few days he would go to the shopping mall to wholesale a batch of snacks and bring them back to class to sell. The school clearly forbids this kind of behavior, so he dared not take more than one schoolbag every time. The goods are ready, earning 20 yuan a day is enough for him to spend.In addition, all the classmates in the class defended him, and no one went to report to the teacher. Li Yichu's business has been in business for two years.For two years, he has been hiding it from Liang Xuan, and every time he takes his lunch break to go to the mall to buy goods.

In the past, Li Yichu and Liang Xuan didn't eat together at noon, but today, since Liang Xuan told him, Li Yichu went to wait for him at the door of Liang Xuan's classroom after class.Li Yichu was in a hurry to stock up, and he ate lunch quickly and hurriedly. After eating, he said that there was still something to do in class, and left Liang Xuan and ran away.

While walking, Li Yichu was thinking about how much money he still had. There is a small road from No. [-] Middle School to the shopping mall, which can save more than half of the time.Li Yichu walked through a grape arbor with his schoolbag on his back, and suddenly heard movement around the corner.

Li Yichu stood in the corner and looked over there.

Lu Bin, with his arms hanging, was blocked by two people in a corner. Judging from his expression, he could tell that the two had enmity with him.Lu Bin didn't know what he said, and the two who had their backs turned to Li Yichu suddenly slapped him across the head.

Li Yichu didn't have time to think, so he called out from a distance: "Lu Bin!"

When Lu Bin heard the sound, he saw that it was him, and he thought to himself that today is really bad luck for eight lifetimes, the enemies are all gathered together, and his arm is still crippled.In this situation, it is better to hurry up and run away, the hero does not suffer from immediate losses.

Li Yichu walked in front of the three people, took his schoolbag off his back, and said with a smile, "Why are you here? We've been waiting for you for a while."

Those two gangsters didn't pay attention to Li Yichu like a weak chicken, and raised their voices: "Who are you? Don't mind your own business, get out!"

Li Yichu pretended to suddenly realize: "Are you guys fighting?"

Those two people were obviously impatient, and they were about to come up to push Li Yichu, but they heard him say: "Lu Bin, are you stupid?"

It was only then that Lu Bin realized that Li Yichu was helping him divert the attention of the two of them, so he quickly took out his mobile phone to make a call, and shouted loudly, "Brothers, I'm at the entrance of South Alley, come quickly!"

It was too late for those two gangsters to grab Lu Bin's phone, so they ran away after saying a harsh word.

Seeing that the danger was lifted, Li Yi walked up to Lu Bin with his schoolbag in his hand: "Lu Bin, I was planning to look for you today, and it's just right now, let's discuss something."

Lu Bin had a half-smile: "What? You still want to fight me?"

Li Yichu smiled: "I'm not afraid, but our family Liang Xuan is not good, he is a good student, you don't want to trouble him. If you feel that you have been betrayed yesterday, then I will treat you to dinner, and your buddies. "

Lu Bin played with taste: "Are you two brothers?"

Li Yichu: "Yes."

Lu Bin: "Cousin?"

Li Yichu: "No, I have lived in his house since I was a child, and his parents are my parents. When you scolded Mr. Liang that day, you scolded my dad."

Lu Bin couldn't help but think highly of this person in front of him. He originally thought that such a weak-looking person was useless, but he didn't expect that he was quite affectionate.

Lu Bin stroked his hair with his uninjured hand, and said with a smile, "Okay. Thanks to you today, we made peace. I will definitely not trouble Liang Xuan in the future."

Li Yichu originally planned to spend all his savings today to treat these people to a meal and make peace. He is not afraid of anything by himself, but once Liang Xuan gets involved, he can't go his own way. He is not afraid that these people will retaliate against him, but He was afraid that something would happen to Liang Xuan.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Li Yichu bid farewell to Lu Bin: "I'm going to the mall, goodbye."

Li Yichu has been buying goods in the same store for the past two years. The boss is an acquaintance with him, and it will be cheaper every time. Today, after weighing Li Yichu's things, he looked at the bruises on his face and said, "Xiao Li, what's wrong with your face?"

Li Yichu smiled and said: "It's okay, I got into a fight with someone."

The boss has always liked Li Yichu very much. This kid is young and thin, and his family conditions are not good. Bring a toy for the boss's daughter.

The boss was having lunch, and looked at Li Yichu with some distress, and said softly: "Xiao Li, stay for a meal, I have chicken soup for lunch."

Li Yichu's hands paused when he was packing up the goods, his lips were pursed a few times, he raised his head and said with a smile, "No, auntie, I've had lunch, I'm going back to school after packing."

Li Yichu walked back with his bulging schoolbag on his back. All these years, he has been living under others, and he is grateful for anyone's kindness. He knows that everyone has a heart of compassion and will pity him because he was bullied, but he extravagantly hopes What is more important is that others treat him as an equal person, neither pity him nor bully him.

If someone scolds him for making a mistake, he will not be concerned that he is an outsider; if he gets good grades in an exam, someone will praise him, and he will not be concerned that he is an outsider.

Things that were once taken for granted have become extravagant expectations in the past ten years.

"Hey."

Li Yichu was brought back to his senses by the call, and stared blankly at Lu Bin and his companions in front of him.

Li Yichu: "Why are you here?"

Lu Bin kicked the stones under his feet: "Do you understand the rules? Those two people were scared away by my call just now, and they must still be walking around to see if I really have a buddy coming. If you see that you are alone, Definitely throw fire on your head."

Li Yichu understood that they were protecting himself, and said with a smile, "Thank you. By the way, do you want some snacks? I have a lot in my schoolbag."

After finishing speaking, he put down the schoolbag and opened the zipper to reveal all kinds of snacks inside.

"Wow——" several of Lu Bin's partners exclaimed, jokingly said, "You can eat too much, don't you?"

Li Yichu opened the opening of the schoolbag a little wider, and looked at them with a smile: "Choose it yourself."

"Stop." Lu Bin called his companion, his family was in business, and seeing Li Yichu's posture, he knew that he was going to sell the goods to the school. Such a bag of snacks was not enough for Lu Bin's meal. Money, excluding the cost, it is estimated that you can earn 30 to [-] yuan.If these buddies are divided up, how can they eat?

Lu Bin bent down to close the opening of the schoolbag, picked it up and handed it to Li Yichu, and said with a smile, "Which class do you belong to? We want to eat snacks in the future, so I'll ask you to buy them."

Li Yichu: "Senior Class Six, Li Yichu."

Lu Bin and his buddies looked at each other, and said with a smile, "You don't need to introduce yourself, do you? Everyone in the school knows me. If you need anything in the future, just come to me."

Li Yichu smiled: "Okay, let's go back, class is about to start."
