Hao Liangliang (8)

  I arrived at Song Chi's ward, pushed open the door and went in. It was a single room, and several brothers were there, but Zhao Min wasn't. After asking around, I found out that Xu Ge and the others had sent Zhao Min back to school. Looking at Song Chi lying on the hospital bed with an IV drip, still smiling, it didn't seem like a serious matter, so I felt much more at ease. I chatted with the brothers for a bit, then walked over to Song Chi's bedside and sat down beside him.

  Nothing serious, I guess, today I

  I didn't even finish speaking when Song Chi interrupted me, "Don't tell me these things, I saw that Hao Liangliang's target was you, whoever it is, they would do the same thing, otherwise I think he will definitely cut down." Then Song Chi shook his head, "Really don't know why Hao Liangliang is so ruthless."

  I still feel guilty in my heart, but I forced out a smile "Anyway, thanks for today, if it wasn't for you"

  Song Chi directly interrupted me, "Fourth brother, you're saying this and it's not interesting anymore, like an old woman. You were great in my heart, now that image is gone."

  This really made me laugh, I chuckled and turned around to look at several brothers "What did the doctor say?"

  Xiao Ge and the others also looked very unhappy. "Said to be hospitalized for three or four days, see how it goes, one of the cuts is quite deep." As he spoke, Xiao Ge shook his head. "What did the school say?"

  I was stunned for a moment, turned my head and looked at Song Chi "Should we inform his family?"

  "It's okay, my parents aren't home anyway, I'm living with my grandparents. It's no big deal if I don't go back on Saturday, it's just the school side of things?"

  "I thought for a moment 'I'll give you an extended leave, let me think about how to say it, should be no problem.' Then I smiled and said 'Anyway, thanks so much today.'"

  "Fourth brother, don't be like this, it's too pretentious." Song Chi also smiled "Let's play together. I've been wanting to join your little group for a long time, to be honest, I quite admire you guys."

  "Alright then, let's have some fun together from now on." I patted Song Chi's shoulder and said, "I'll think of a way to get you excused from school, just rest here for a while, we'll go out and smoke a cigarette."

  After finishing, I stood up and opened the door to leave. When I went out, I gave a signal to my brothers, and they followed me out. We looked at each other and smiled, but no one said anything. In our hearts, we still felt guilty. After leaving the hospital building, I took out cigarettes and handed them out to my brothers. I lit one myself. "Hao Liangliang is ruthless enough. If it weren't for Song Chi today, I'm afraid my face would be ruined." I said, patting my own face.

  Big Brother Dong took a drag on his cigarette "What are you going to do next?"

  "Let's go!" I thought for a moment "The last self-study class this afternoon, let's go to their classroom!"

  "Alright then, take care of yourself!"

  "Uh, you guys go back to school," I said with a smile. "It's already been half a day without classes, and Xiao Bai Lian is probably furious by now. You guys go back and help me and Song Chi ask for leave, I'll stay here and keep an eye on him."

  "Take a look at you, go back, I'll watch here, help me ask for leave, my grades are poor, Xiaobai has already given up on me, didn't you see? He doesn't care about me now, it's okay, Fourth Brother, your grades are good, go back, I'll stay here, just in time, I don't have to attend classes either."

  "Is this okay?"

  "Get out of here, stop messing with me. Go back and I'll come over again during the last class this afternoon, and bring a few more people."

  I didn't say anything else, took out the money on me and handed it over to Brother Xu. Then a few of us chatted for a bit, Brother Xu turned around and went back to the hospital building. We laughed and left the hospital, hailed a taxi, and headed straight back to school.

  We arrived at the classroom, it was already the last class in the morning, and there were no teachers in the classroom. We pushed open the door and went in, sitting down at our seats. I looked at Zhao Min and asked "Does Little White Face know?"

  Zhao Min turned around and touched my face, very concerned "It's swollen again, does it hurt?"

  I forced a smile and said "It's nothing, doesn't hurt, just a small matter." I continued to say "Does Xiao Bai know?"

  "Uh-huh," Zhao Min said. "Just now, he called me to the office and I told him I wasn't with you guys, that something came up at home and I went back myself. He couldn't find anyone to ask for leave, so it's all taken care of. Looking at Xiao Bai's face, I really believed him." Zhao Min continued, "He said he saw you come back and asked you to go to the office to find him. He looked pretty angry, so be careful."

  I smiled and didn't say anything, got up and went to the office. I stood at the door of the office for a minute, making an effort to adjust my mood, then thought about the reason again. I stretched out my hand and knocked on the door, "Please come in."

  I was a bit surprised, why did the little white face only know how to say this sentence. There were several teachers in the office, so why could I always hear his voice whenever someone knocked on the door? Was he special compared to others? I smiled and pushed open the door, walking directly to the little white face.

  The young man didn't even glance at me "Where did you go last night and today?"

  "The hospital." I said it very directly and also very realistically.

  Xiaobai's face suddenly looked up at me and said "Hospital? What happened to your face?"

  "Yesterday evening, Song Chi said he was feeling a bit unwell, so I followed him to the school infirmary. Luckily, there was no one there, but Song Chi's condition worsened rapidly, and we rushed out of the school without even having time to ask for leave. We thought we'd be back soon? But as soon as we went out, because we were in a hurry, we didn't look when crossing the road, and a car came over and hit Song Chi directly. Originally, Song Chi wasn't seriously injured, but we tried to reason with the driver, who unexpectedly started beating us without saying a word.

  I forced out a tear and put on an extremely wronged expression: "We couldn't fight back against them, so we said it was no big deal and let him go. Why would he still not be willing? We were in a hurry to get to the hospital, but that person still wouldn't give up. He turned around, took out a knife from his car, and wanted to chop us. We were scared at the time and retreated backward, but they still wouldn't give up and chased after us. Because Song Chi was unwell, I protected him behind me. Who knew that this person would suddenly rush over and slash at my leg with one knife?"

  I pulled up my pants, revealing the spot where Hao Liang had kicked me. I continued, "Then he kicked me again and I fell to the ground. He rushed towards me and swung his knife down at me. At that moment, Song Chi pounced on my head. The man then slashed two knives at Song Chi's back." By this point, I was already crying uncontrollably, not pretending, but genuinely feeling the pain in my heart. I wiped away tears from my face.

  "Then the man ran away. I carefully looked at the license plate number, but didn't take a photo. I panicked and someone nearby called 120. I also panicked and rushed into the school to find you, but you had already left. So I went back to our classroom and called out Liu Xiang and others. As we waited for the ambulance to arrive, Song Chi was bleeding profusely on the ground, and many people were taking care of him. We quickly took a taxi to the hospital."

  As I spoke, tears flowed down my face again, uncontrollably. I tried to hold back, but couldn't control it - the pain was real, coming from deep within my heart.

  Xiaobai Lian listened to me and immediately stood up "How is Song Chi now?" His voice sounded a bit anxious.

  "It's nothing serious, just one cut is a bit deeper."

  "Do you still remember what that person looked like?"

  I thought he was very tall and looked quite strong, with a rugged face and tattoos on his body, and even on his face, looking like not a good person.

  "Is Song Chi still in the hospital?"

  "I went 'uh' and said 'Yesterday we took care of him for a night at some place, neither of us had our phones, and we were so busy that we even forgot to give you a call to let you know. Today he looks much better, so we came back. Liu Xiu is still watching over him somewhere!"

  "Alright, you go back first. After lunch, come find me and take me to the hospital for a check-up."

  I was stunned for a moment, but still nodded and then I left, returned to class, sat in my seat, sighed, this time again passed by like this, but as soon as I thought of Song Chui, my body involuntarily shuddered, the knife wound on my leg that Hao Liangliang had cut was aching slightly.

  Zhao Min grabbed me from beside and asked "What's wrong little white face?"

  I shook my head, "The little white face over there was fooled" and then I told Zhao Min the lies I had made up for Little White Face. "Little White Face even said he wanted to go see Song Chi in the afternoon and asked me to accompany him."

  Zhao Min smiled and said "That's good"

  I looked at Zhao Minle, I didn't have any mood, the feeling that Song Cheng gave me today was too great, Hao Liangliang, I will make you come back, fiercely I gritted my teeth, thinking and thinking, I cried again, directly climbed onto the table, Zhao Min on the side also stunned, these people who would not understand my current mood, if this time replaced by Zhang Wei to block those two knives for me, maybe I won't be so suffering, after all, we are brothers, but this Song Cheng, we can say, just started playing, emotions are not that deep, today he did this, will make me feel guilty for a lifetime.
