Chapter IX: Threats
On the way home, the two were unexpectedly silent, and they could hear each other's heartbeats.
The dim light stretched the figures of the two of them, and the shadows seemed to snuggle together.
It wasn't until he walked downstairs to the unit building that Zhao Ke suddenly came back to his senses and found that there was nothing on his back.
Her bag was white and slung over her shoulder in one hand.
"Thank you."
Zhao Ke took the schoolbag and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the person behind him.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
"No, you don't." She turned around, and the man had already turned away.
……
When a person is afraid, it turns out that even the shadow will be afraid.
The gradually improving condition fell into the haze again this night.
Zhao Ke lay flat on the bed, without the slightest sleepiness, staring at the ceiling with her eyes blankly, she was wrapped in the quilt, but she still felt panicked.
Early the next morning, Zhao Ke's fair face was covered with two huge and abrupt dark circles.
Today, she doesn't have to scramble to get out of bed by stepping on the spot.
On the bench downstairs of the apartment building, she saw a vague but familiar back.
At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot and he had a few cigarette butts sprinkled at his feet.
Looks like he's been here for a long time.
The sound of approaching footsteps gradually stopped behind his ears, and Bai Bai turned his head.
Only then did Zhao Ke see that he also had two dark circles on his face, which really looked like waking up the next day after a hangover.
He held a new cigarette in his hand, and he extinguished it when he saw Zhao Ke.
"You're early?" Zhao Ke's eyes were obscure when he looked at him, and his ups and downs could not be modified in words.
She finally realized that perhaps the person in front of her was slightly different from the whiteness she had in her impression.
He let out a faint "um".
In addition to being dizzy, he couldn't explain what he was doing for a while, and he was willing to sit downstairs at her house for a night in the face of a stranger who put away the thorns on his body.
If he had done it before, he would have thought he was crazy.
He said that he didn't understand what the complicated, guilty, and even slightly distressed emotions in Zhao Ke's heart were, and where they came from.
The two walked side by side, but they didn't say a word.
Approaching the school, Zhao Ke wanted to buy cigarettes, but there was no one selling tobacco and alcohol at the school gate.
She navigated the alleys and alleys with ease.
Bai Hao glanced at her, saw her picking in front of the display case, and asked, "Are you very familiar?" ”
"It's not counting, it's just that I've tasted all the popular ones, and I roughly know what the difference is in taste."
Bai Hao frowned slightly, obviously he didn't mean to ask this, "That's not what I'm asking." ”
After reflecting for a few seconds, Zhao Ke realized what he meant.
"I was also in junior high school, and I was used to wandering." When she mentioned junior high school, she remembered the boy with a glorious face that existed in the depths of her memory.
Bai Hao did not hide the scrutiny in his eyes, and he caught Zhao Ke's long eyelashes covering his turbulent eyes for a moment.
This feeling of not being able to grasp and guess is very bad, "Why did you transfer schools?" ”
Zhao Ke took the hand of the thing, and although it was fast, it was still seen by Bai Hao.
She smiled, "It's nothing, it's not good to study." ”
Seeing that she was lying, but not bothering to debunk her, he probably guessed.
By the time the two of them walked to the school, it was close to class.
At the school gate, I met the white group of fox friends and dogs.
Xu Jisheng saw from afar that the person walking beside Bai Hao was Zhao Ke, laughed heavily, and whistled at the two.
Zhao Ke began to regret it.
Almost half of the class saw that Bai Hao sent her to school.
Zhao Ke ignored everyone's strange eyes and walked straight to his seat.
Ni Qingyue also saw what was happening at the door, and after not seeing her all night, she returned to her original gossip and active state, and looked at Zhao Ke vigorously.
"Bai Bai sent you this morning?"
"Didn't you see it all?"
As soon as the words fell, Xu Wen walked over.
"Zhao Ke, why haven't you finished writing the board report yet?"
Zhao Ke looked at Xu Wen, the scrutiny in her eyes was undisguised, she definitely didn't believe that what happened last night was an accident.
She said lightly, "I'll go later." ”
Xu Wen hadn't left yet, she stared at Zhao Ke, her face flushed a little, "It's ...... this morning." It was sent to you by White. ”
Zhao Ke nodded.
Xu Wen couldn't hide her loneliness.
Until she walked away, Zhao Ke stared at her back thoughtfully.
……
After school at noon, Bai Hao and Xu Jisheng went to the cafeteria.
In front of the table, the white long legs sat next to Xiao Manning, Xu Jisheng smiled slightly, and took a look at the remaining two girls, and they left with red faces.
Six people came menacingly and surrounded Xiao Manning's location.
Xiao Manning naturally knew that the matter was exposed, but he didn't expect Bai Hao to be so excited.
In an instant, she froze in place, and a cold air ran down the soles of her feet.
"Long time no see." Xu Jisheng smiled and beckoned to Xiao Manning, but the smile was not half sincere, and the corners of his mouth were full of excitement.
Xiao Manning looked at him and twitched the corners of his mouth.
Xu Jisheng leaned back in the chair and clasped his hands to his chest, "Tell me, what did you do." ”
"I didn't, I didn't ......" Facing the six tall people who were more than one meter eight, Xiao Manning couldn't help but tremble in her voice, her eyes were full of hope, she looked at Bai Bai next to her, saw that he was unmoved, and then looked at Xu Jisheng.
Before he could react, he heard a screeching sound and the legs of the chair scratched the floor.
Xiao Manning looked to the side again, the white chair stepped back, and he kicked the table, he exuded a cold aura all over his body, his eyes were soaked with cold, he squinted at Xiao Manning, "You say it again?" ”
"I, I didn't ......," the woman's frightened cry echoed through the room.
At a very fast speed, everyone didn't see it clearly, only to see Bai Hao take the fork on the table and make a gesture to insert it on the back of Xiao Manning's hand.
Under his eyes was an unfathomable darkness, without the slightest light, like a black hole, like a whirlpool.
Bai Hao stared at Xiao Manning, who was already frightened, and his tone was not good, "Did I warn you that you are not allowed to move Zhao Ke!" ”
She looked sideways at the glowing fork, all silver and white, and the metal reflected her as if she had seen an evil ghost.
Seeing that she was silent, her white brows furrowed, "Huh? ”
Xiao Manning nodded in a panic.
"I'll warn you one last time, if you instigate Zhang Jiyang to find trouble with Zhao Ke again, I want you to look good!"
There was another loud sound of landing, the fork was thrown on the ground, and the white stomped on the table, and everything on the table was poured out in a mess.
No longer stayed, and the group left.
