The Waking of Insects is coming, and the temperature is gradually warming up.
The food street outside Liyang No. 2 Middle School is hung with banners that are even more festive than during the Chinese New Year. Looking from a distance, the whole street is filled with the words 'Celebrate the opening of school'.
After wasting a whole vacation, many people started to make up their homework when the winter vacation was coming to an end. They worked in the dark for several days and still didn't finish it. In the end, I could only accept my fate and plan to get to school early when school starts and try to fight for it.
As soon as Xie Yu went up the stairs, he heard a burst of distressed shouts from "Class 2 and 3 of Senior High School": "This is also due?!"
"What is English composition?!"
"Which friend wrote a math exercise book? ? I'll exchange the Chinese test paper with him..."
When Xie Yu passed by the rear window, he curled his fingers, pressed his knuckles against the glass, and knocked twice.
As the squad leader, Liu Cunhao took the lead in copying homework, holding up several Chinese test papers in his hand. Before he finished shouting, he heard a knock on the window and almost jumped up in fright: "Fuck!" It was
windy outside, Xie Yudai Putting on his clothes and hat, he was about to enter the door before he raised his hand to pull down his hat.
Everyone thought it was a mad dog coming to patrol, and the classroom was quiet for two seconds, and then continued to fry: "It almost scared me to death... Brother Yu, you are not the Brother Yu I know."
"Are you happy now?"
"That's how you are. Are you bullying the weak, pitiful and helpless classmates? "
"..."
He Chao arrived early and was catching up on his sleep in the classroom. He heard a faint sound and half-opened his eyes.
He returned to school one day early.
All the boarding students who returned to school early underestimated Mad Dog's enthusiasm for the broadcasting career. Their beloved Director Jiang started shouting before six o'clock in the morning: "New semester, new starting point!"
He Chao stood up and looked at The child came over.
He originally didn't feel much about the official language spoken by Mad Dog, but the moment his eyes touched Xie Yu, he really felt it: a new semester.
A new day.
He Chao smiled and said hello: "Morning."
Xie Yu walked to his table, bent down slightly, and reached out to help him zip up Kankan's coat that was stuck on his chest: "Morning."
The sun shines from outside the window. As the light came in, the classroom became a little brighter.
Liu Cunhao is still looking for friends who are willing to exchange homework with him.
He Chao pulled out the math exercise book from the table. He did a little bit of this homework, but according to the previous steady increase plan, the rate of wrong questions was still quite high: "Mouse, I'll switch with you."
Liu Cunhao said silently After looking at him for a few seconds, he turned back silently and continued to ask: "Do you have any other friends?"
He Chao: "What, you still look down on people?"
"Don't you dare, you are forty-nine points ," Liu Cunhao was afraid of destroying his self-confidence. After making a fuss, he still couldn't help but want him to face the reality, "But Brother Chao, you can't be too arrogant, do you understand what I mean?"
"Mouse, I am now . You ignore me," He Chao said, throwing the exercise book on the table, "——I will make it impossible for you to reach higher in the future."
Liu Cunhao said with a look of "who am I and where am I?" This eldest brother in our class seems crazy. ': "..."
Xie Yu just took out the pen from the side pocket of his school bag, and when he heard this sentence, he almost threw it out with his backhand.
It wasn't until the class bell rang that the classroom gradually became quiet.
On the first day of school, teachers of all subjects were instilling the concept that "it doesn't matter if you don't do well in the final exam, just start working hard from this semester." They hoped that they would calm down, come back from a crazy holiday, and adjust their learning status as soon as possible.
Especially their class teacher, Lao Tang, treated the Chinese class as a class meeting. He didn't cover much in the new text and only focused on educating them.
Xie Yu felt a little sleepy after hearing this. He held his chin with his hand. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of He Chao fiddling with his mobile phone during class: "Playing games?"
He Chao calmly returned to the table and responded with an "ah" sound.
Xie Yu didn't pay attention, closed his eyes and fell asleep for a while.
He Chao then reopened the chat box with Shen Jie and typed a reply: What's wrong with you?
He has been thinking about celebrating his children's birthday these days. After much deliberation, I still didn't know what to give, so I asked Shen Jie. After waiting for a few minutes, two words came out: refuse to chat.
[Shen Jie]: I think we have better contact after class.
[Shen Jie]: Don't even think about hurting me again!
[He Chao]: ...
There was such an embarrassing scene in the teacher's office last time, and the psychological shadow left was too deep. Shen Jie remembered the lessons of blood and tears and the self-reflection letter, and would never play games secretly in class again. Shou Jian went to find He Chao to form a team.
Similarly, chatting can be avoided if possible.
There was a textbook standing on Shen Jie's desk, and his hands were hidden in the belly of the desk. Halfway through typing, he raised his eyes to make sure the teacher was still writing on the blackboard with his back turned, and then continued typing on the phone screen: Brother Chao, please have a good time in class! Stop chatting with me!
Xie Yu's birthday is in mid-March, so there isn't much time left.
In the end, He Chao could only ask Shen Jie out during the ten minutes between classes. The two chatted for a while at the stairs: "Do you have any suggestions?"
Shen Jie wanted to say: If it were someone else, I could still help the staff officer. Staff officer, but your Xie Yu...
Xie Yu seems to be a very unpredictable person. Even if we are closer to him now, we still don't know our preferences and it's a mystery.
"What are you giving?" Shen Jie racked his brains and finally said three words hesitantly, "...a gift of a head?"
He Chao didn't know whether to praise this brother's rich imagination: "You fucking Be normal."
Shen Jie was at a loss. Thinking of his bald head, he couldn't think of a second thought: "Your old man, Xie, you should know better than me. Think carefully about what he is interested in."
He Chao sat on the steps . Go up, ponder for a while, and finally say: "Me."
Shen Jie: "...Huh?" He Chao
said again: "Me. He is interested in me." He
couldn't talk anymore that day.
Shen Jie lowered his head and wiped his face with his hands, feeling very desperate in his heart: "I have to buy the cake anyway, or we can buy it from the birthday cake -"
The stairs were very close to the corridor, and Shen Jie's two words of "cake" Shouting louder and louder. Wanda was just returning from the door of the teacher's office. She didn't see anyone passing by the stairs. She stopped when she heard the sound and took two steps back: "What birthday cake? Who wants to celebrate a birthday?"
He Chao: "..."
Xie Yu I'm not sure what He Chao and Wanda's gang have been talking about since school started. I just think this group of people is a bit strange, but I can't explain what's so strange about them.
Every time he passed by, Wanda would immediately change the subject bluntly: "I love my motherland..."
When Wanda knocked on his door in the middle of the night and asked him if he wanted to go shopping in the dormitory, Xie Yu could finally think of this. "Strange" finds a suitable reason: "Are you sick?"
Wanda stood at the door and said a little melancholy: "I can't sleep. I've been under too much pressure recently. I want to talk to you."
Xie Yu leaned against the door and looked down at the time displayed on his phone.
Half past eleven.
The lights had already been turned off, and the dormitory building was eerily quiet.
The dormitory building of No. 2 Middle School has a total of six floors, and the rooftop on the top floor is always locked to prevent students from going up. Wanda said she was visiting the dormitory building, so she actually took him upstairs.
"Actually, I've been very confused recently," Wanda said as she walked. "I can't find my direction in life, and I'm tossing and turning every night."
Xie Yu: "..."
Normally Xie Yu would say it's none of my business.
But thinking about Wanda's behavior recently, it was indeed strange. In just a few minutes, Xie Yu had several thoughts running through his mind. When Wanda pushed open the iron door on the top floor, he was about to say, "Don't get too distracted." Someone suddenly stopped him. Hugging him behind him, covering his eyes with one hand.
Everything was dark.
——The hand with clear joints and warmth forcefully blocked all his sight.
Xie Yu was led a few steps forward, and the wind from the top floor came in through the hem of his clothes.
Then the hand slowly let go, and in the darkness, Xie Yu caught a glimpse of a tiny flickering light from between his slightly opened fingers.
Xie Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.
The place on the rooftop is not big. Looking down from the top floor, there are dots of lights, the sound of cars coming from the surrounding roads, and the noisy wind everywhere.
I don't know where they got the folding table, and the birthday cake was placed on the table. The rooftop was simply decorated, and there were a few bags of stuff standing on the side.
He Chao's slightly upward tone when he spoke circled his ears twice.
"Happy birthday."
More than one voice.
Almost all the boarding students from the third class were there, and they gathered together lively: "Happy birthday, brother Yu!"
Xie Yu actually didn't remember his birthday very well.
If Ms. Gu hadn't reminded him every year and kept asking him if there was anything he wanted, the "birthday" would have been forgotten by him.
Ms. Gu mentioned it once a few days ago. Xie Yu was doing test papers and listening to the phone at the same time. After finishing a big question, he no longer remembered what Ms. Gu said on the phone.
"You were playing with me just now? Where did you get the key?"
Xie Yu glanced at them a few times and then said: "Wanda, are you still on your own path in life, lost and confused?"
He Chao coughed lightly: "You pried it open."
Wanda tried to change the subject, lit the candles, and urged him to make a wish: "Brother Yu, this evil wind...fuck you, blow it quickly, or it will go out."
Several people formed a circle and tried to block the wind: "Quick, quick, quick , I can't hold it anymore."
The more they urged, the more blank Xie Yu's mind became. When the candles were all extinguished, he could not think of any wish.
The others cheered and waited to cut the cake.
He Chao went to look for the knife and fork in the bag, and after rummaging through it twice, he found that it was full of beer: "Wan Shitong, I want you to buy something to eat. Why did you buy so much wine?"
Wanda didn't admit it because she wanted to drink it: "Man, this kind of The atmosphere of a party on the rooftop..."
Beer cans were thrown around on the rooftop.
When the wind blows, he rolls on the ground several times along with the wind.
While the group was drinking, He Chao asked casually, "What wish did you make just now?"
Xie Yu said, "No."
"Ah?"
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Xie Yu repeated it with a smile: "I didn't make a wish."
I didn't make any wishes, but I felt like everything could come true.
