Chapter 18

I also dreamed

It didn't work out

Waking up early one morning, Lu Henglin's cell phone rang a special memo reminder.

He took out his phone in a daze and looked at it. A reminder flashed on the screen: Xiaoqi's birthday, followed by a ridiculous red heart.

His heart trembled slightly, and then the pain began to follow him again, and he felt a little difficult to breathe.

After pressing the prompt, he threw the phone directly to the floor, and lay down with his eyes closed in desperation.

When Xia Chengqi came, his birthday had already passed, and one day when talking about birthdays, Xia Chengqi said that every month in the orphanage, people who celebrate birthdays find a day to spend together, and that day they will eat longevity noodles with poached eggs , When Lu Henglin celebrates his birthday, he also cooks longevity noodles by himself.

Hearing that at that time, he felt warm and sore in his heart, and he made a very serious promise to celebrate Xia Chengqi's birthday, a unique and unique birthday for him only.

Who knew that two months later, everything would be different?

Lu Henglin was inexplicably unable to lift his spirits all day long. Zhao Jie sent a message saying that Lin Yusheng had prepared a wonderful program tonight, and he also replied that he was not happy.

When school was over, Xia Chengqi stopped him at the corner of the stairs.

"Heng Lin, can we go home together?" Xia Chengqi asked him in a soft tone.

"Go home? My house is already yours?" Lu Henglin sneered.

Xia Chengqi's eyes darkened, and after a moment of silence, he cheered up and said, "Can we have dinner together?"

"Why do you think I'm still willing to look at your hypocritical face and eat with you." Lu Henglin's face was cold, but he felt very uncomfortable when he said it, so he didn't want to say anything more to Xia Chengqi, and pushed He quickly went downstairs by himself.

As soon as he walked out of the school, he ran into Lin Yusheng and his group.

"Henglin, hurry up, I'll take you to see something amazing tonight." Lin Yusheng smiled mysteriously and strangely.

Lu Henglin frowned intuitively. He vaguely heard Zhao Jie hint that Lin Yusheng had been playing too much recently, so he replied very vigilantly, "I have something to do tonight."

"It's a big deal, you'll regret it if you don't go." Lin Yusheng put his arms around Lu Henglin's neck, leaned over and said in a low voice, "I'll take you to see something high."

"I--"

Just as Lu Henglin was thinking of refusing, he heard a familiar voice say coldly, "He won't go with you."

Xia Chengqi caught up and stood in front of them with a gloomy expression.

"Hey, Henglin, your family is already a vixen." Zhao Jie teased loudly.

Lu Henglin's expression changed instantly, "Shut up, it's not your turn to intervene in our family affairs."

Zhao Jie felt ashamed, so he could only vent his anger on Xia Chengqi, "Who are you, it's none of your business whether Heng Lin will come with us or not."

Xia Chengqi was not moved at all, just looked at Lu Henglin fixedly, and said seriously, "Henglin, don't go with them again."

"Can Henglin listen to you?" Lin Yusheng laughed at him.

Lu Henglin's heart tightened under Xia Chengqi's gaze, he looked away, "You don't care about my affairs, let's go."

"Lin Yusheng, what did you say to Zhao Jie behind the teaching building today? Do you want me to go to the radio station and tell the school?" Xia Chengqi saw that some people were about to leave, so he could only raise his voice.

Lin Yusheng's face changed, and he turned his head to stare at Xia Chengqi sullenly, "Do you think I dare not touch you?"

"That's enough, don't get entangled with him, let's go." Lu Henglin couldn't help but tugged Lin Yusheng.

"Lu Henglin, I've had enough of you now. You're not the only one who is the most wronged and pitiful in the world. It's just childish and ridiculous for you to indulge yourself like this! If you stay with these people who have nothing to do but eat, drink and play, you will soon die It will become the same waste as them, the scum of society." Xia Chengqi's uncharacteristically fierce attitude directly raised his voice and belittled everyone.

Lu Henglin was irritated. The series of words childish, trash, and scum really pierced his heart. He thought to himself, so that's how Xia Chengqi looked down on him.

"What's wrong with the trash? Didn't you want to pretend to be innocent to please me, the trash?"

Lin Yusheng and the others were also extremely angry when they heard the words. He pointed at Xia Chengqi and sneered, "You asked for it yourself today. Henglin, I won't force you if it's inconvenient for you. You go first. I'll settle the grudge with this kid today."

Lu Henglin, who was furious, still hesitated for a moment.

"What? Are you afraid that this kid will go back and sue? You are so cowardly, let him eat you to death? Didn't you hear what he said to you just now?" Lin Yusheng grabbed Lu Henglin's skirt and taunted him.

Lu Henglin waved his hand away and said coldly, "What am I afraid of? What does he have to do with me?"

"Okay, I'm relieved with your words." Lin Yusheng said, his eyes had become stern.

Lu Henglin turned around angrily and wanted to leave. He had an appointment today so the driver didn't come, so Zhao Jie reached out to help him stop the taxi, "Come on, Henglin, you go your way and leave the rest to us. I just want to teach you a lesson today." This kid."

Lu Henglin looked at the open car door, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Xia Chengqi.

He stood there, facing seven or eight people with awe-inspiring expression, without the slightest fear. His deer-like eyes seemed to be burning with flames, making people dare not look directly at them. Everyone present.

For a moment, when Lu Henglin thought of Xia Chengqi looking at him in the same way, his heart ached unbearably.

He laughed at himself for still caring about these things, and then got into the car dejectedly. Zhao Jie closed the car door for him, and gave the driver the fare by the way.

The car drove away slowly, Lu Henglin sat in the car and kept restraining himself not to look back, not to look, not to think.

Outside the car window is a bleak early winter scene, the weather is gray and heavy, and there is a thin mist floating in the air in the evening, even looking at it feels very cold.The lights of Wanjia could not be seen clearly in the distance, and he no longer expected anyone to wait for him to go home.

The driver turned on the radio, and the anchor on the radio said in a deep and magnetic voice, the smell of fireworks in the world is the most wonderful breath, I hope someone will stand with you at dusk, and someone will ask you how warm your porridge is.

Lu Henglin closed his eyes tiredly, but before his eyes, he could see himself lying sickly on the bed, without any appetite, lying under the quilt in a daze that day.
