Chapter 62: Diary [10]
It rained on Monday, October 4
I don't know why Li Liling and "Big Wave" got very close in the past two days, yesterday I went to her house with Hu Bo to look for her, but she was not there, today after school she left me and Hu Bo, and the "Big Wave" waiting at the door of the classroom hurried away and I don't know where to go? Hu Bo and I did not go home immediately but stayed in the classroom to continue to complete homework, because the math problems assigned today were a bit difficult, Hu Bo wanted to wait for me to finish before copying my homework, so as not to copy it tomorrow morning, which is what she often does.
I am good in liberal arts, average in science, but my grades are still much better than Hu Bo's, Hu Bo's mother always asks Hu Bo to learn from me, but Hu Bo doesn't think so, I am a nerd who can only read in her eyes, and my social experience is basically zero, and I am the kind of fool who will help people make money if they are sold.
On the way home after we finished our homework, Hu Bo asked me if I wanted to know what Li Liling and "Da Wave" were doing? She knew where they were? I didn't believe it, so I followed her in the opposite direction from home, and after walking two steps, I found that this was the direction to "Da Wave's" home, and I said it was to "Big Wave's" home? Hu Bo said no, and followed her through the bazaar, vegetable market, "Dongfanghong" kindergarten, and Industrial Avenue, and then came to Hongwei Road, where there was a middle school for children affiliated to the 13th Metallurgical Society, and an affiliated technical school.
These two schools are small in size but have a good reputation, and the students in them will not only fight and make trouble, but also fight and make trouble! They are the most difficult targets for the students of several surrounding schools to provoke, and I don't know why Hu Bo brought me here today. Following Hu Bo pretending to pass by the door of the 13th Metallurgical Technical School calmly, he saw two green wooden doors hidden in an inconspicuous alley near a dilapidated school-run factory. I asked Hu Bo curiously, what kind of place is this? Hu Bo said that you will know when you go in, but the man seems to be collecting money from everyone who enters, and we have no money, so how can we go in? Hu Bo said to look at her.
Hu Bo walked to the man and didn't know what to say, turned around and beckoned me to enter the wooden door with her, I walked in with her full of suspicion, but I didn't expect that after entering, the fright was no less than the scene of seeing the "big waves" and the toad mirror by the river that day. Originally, this was a dance hall, the room was not big, there was a counter on the right hand side of the entrance to sell tobacco, alcohol, drinks, melon seeds, and non-staple food, and a row of folding chairs was placed along the wall on both sides, and there were several people sitting on it in twos and threes, and many young men and women were dancing in pairs on the dance floor in the middle. The room was dimly lit, there were many figures, and a big black loudspeaker in the corner of the wall was emitting harsh dance music, and the most unexpected thing for me was that when my eyes adjusted to the darkness in front of me, I saw Li Liling holding hands with a man holding hands, turning in circles with her hands on her waist, and looking at it, oh my God! That man was none other than the toad mirror who bullied "Big Wave" by the river that day, and the godbrother of "Big Wave's" mother! I felt a little messy inside, why would they dance together.
I turned my head to look at Hu Bo, I didn't expect Hu Bo to look at another pair of men and women on the dance floor with tears in his eyes, I followed Hu Bo's gaze, and immediately felt sorry for Hu Bo, only to see that "Big Wave" and a tall man were also hand in hand, hand in waist circle, the tall man was none other than the one I saw at Hu Bo's house that day, Hu Bo's face was red and stammering, Hu Bo's brother Hu Jun's classmate with a pair of peach blossom eyes.
It rained lightly on the way home, we walked alone in the gray night, I don't know how to comfort Hu Bo, it feels as if Hu Bo's unrequited love buried deep in his heart has been ruthlessly shattered, a girl who has just fallen in love sees the boy she likes with others, and the inner sourness, resentment, helplessness and inferiority complex drown her like a flood beast. We sat on the wooden bench in the bus stop on Hongwei Road to hide from the rain, Hu Bo cried silently for a long time, I sat on the side like a fool and didn't know how to open my mouth to comfort, I didn't expect Hu Bo to like that boy so much, when did this happen, I didn't notice it at all!
Tuesday, October 5 rain
It rained all night last night, and when I woke up this morning, I found that the yellow leaves on the plane tree at the door had fallen a lot, and the wet fallen leaves were spread on the ground and extended into the distance, which felt very poetic. I hope that last night's rain has washed away Hu Bo's sadness and unhappiness, and everything will start from scratch on a new day. I came to Hu Bo's house with a broken umbrella bracket and waited for her to go to school together.
Hu Bo's face was not good, but I couldn't help but ask her how she knew that "Big Wave" and Li Liling would be in that dance hall, Hu Bo sulked and said that he heard Hu Jun say, Hu Jun's male classmate with a pair of peach blossom eyes is named Jiang Wenbin, he often goes to that dance hall to play, to meet the beautiful little girl, these days he told Hu Jun that he met the famous eldest sister of Jihong Middle School "Big Wave" in the dance hall. Hu Bo took me to the dance hall yesterday just to confirm whether her brother was lying to her, and sure enough, I saw "Big Wave" and Jiang Wenbin in the dance hall. I persuaded Hu Bo that a flowery boy was not worth liking, but she said that I didn't see Jiang Wenbin's gentleness. Hi, as Qiong Yao's novel wrote, I have a dream, I don't know who I can share with, how many secrets are in it, and no one can understand if I want to tell me.
Then why did Li Liling get together with that toad mirror? This is the second thing I don't understand, hasn't that toad mirror already been proven to be a bad person? Li Liling is still dancing with him, isn't this making trouble for herself? Hu Bo said that she is not a ghost of "big waves" and that Li Liling is with "big waves" now, and there will definitely be no good fruits to eat in the future. I didn't understand it at all, Hu Bo shook his head and told me that the mother of the "big wave" had a bad reputation and did some unsightly things in the Red Star Hotel, and one summer, Zhou Jing's mother took a group of people to block the door of the Red Star Hotel and beat Zhou Jing's father, which made a big fuss, and almost caused Zhou Jing's father to lose his job, and then Zhou Jing's mother went to Zhou Jing's father's unit to apologize and solve the matter. I still don't understand what this has to do with Li Liling, Hu Bo said that if there is a mother, there must be a daughter, and the reputation of "Big Wave" is about the same as that of her mother, and the people she has met are all indiscriminate men, Li Liling will be in big trouble in the future, so it is better for us to stay away from them.
As soon as the bell rang at the end of the first class in the afternoon, a boy from outside the school came in and muttered a few words to Huang Cheng at the same table, Huang Cheng rushed out of the classroom like an arrow off the string, and he didn't come back until school, and he began to be absent from class for no reason, I don't know what Teacher Xiao Zeng would say about him if he knew.
