Chapter I
The separation of Zhao Yuanzhi and Li Qingyue is a natural thing after graduation, like every former classmate, they are still familiar with the time they should be, busy with their post-graduation life, the day they came back to their senses, they found that they and the other party have not been in contact for a long time, so long that there is nowhere to find the opportunity to contact again, each trapped in the face and embarrassment of the young man, allowing the other party's life trajectory to drift away from themselves.
In the various times that followed, they didn't see each other once, but these two face blind, reunited after many years, helplessly God didn't want to match, and they couldn't deduce any romantic stories.
City C, Chengnan District. 33 years old.
In the summer, the air conditioning is turned on sufficiently, but this is limited to every classroom. Parents and children await in the corridors and can only draw a moment of cold air from the opening and closing of each room.
At the end of a class, room 203 opened, and Li Qingyue sent Zhao Qiji out with a smile to see him beckoning his parents to listen to the teacher's assignment. She is a gentle-looking woman, with the elegance of a piano teacher in her gestures, and she will show her appearance as a teacher in the days of class, with light makeup, ponytails, and good temper, so the communication between her and students and parents has always been very smooth, and some older children who no longer follow her to learn the piano have even become her friends.
Seeing her come out, the little girl who was in class behind Zhao Qiji stood up and smiled sweetly at her, she also smiled back, and motioned for the little girl to go into the classroom and wait.
The person who accompanies the child to learn the piano today is Zhao Qiji's father, a middle-aged man who is a little grateful, with a mellow and harmonious atmosphere polished in the workplace. Li Qingyue glanced at this man of medium height and medium stature a few more times, and always felt a little kind, and said politely: "Are you Zhao Qiji's father? ”
Zhao Qiji's father took his son's hand, and responded with some embarrassment: "Hello, hello, I have indeed ...... in the past two years I don't have time to bring him over, and his mother is usually responsible for education, but his mother has been on a business trip recently. Mr. Wang, how is he doing this week, if he doesn't behave well, you don't have to show mercy to his subordinates, just scold him......"
Zhao Qiji anxiously pulled his father's hand, and the immature child's voice stopped him loudly: "Wrong! It's not Teacher Wang, it's Teacher Li!"
A circle of people looked around, and someone chuckled. Zhao Qiji's father at the center of the accident had an embarrassed expression and apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li." ”
Li Qingyue doesn't mind this matter, being called by the wrong surname can be big or small, it is not uncommon, there is no need to take it too seriously. Remembering the little girl waiting in the classroom, she just wanted to end this conversation as soon as possible: "He did well this week, but he still has to practice more piano, and he can't be lazy." This week, we need to buy the third volume of Little Thompson, and then buy a Czerny, I sent it to his mother on WeChat, just buy it, bring it next week, and we can learn new books. ”
Li Qingyue saw the appearance of the father and understood that he was a little foggy, and he probably didn't remember the name of the book clearly, but he only knew that the child's mother knew these things, and she took the child away with peace of mind.
This is the first time they have met in 18 years, and they obviously thought that they must be unforgettable, but in reality, they are very ordinary and do not know each other.
Life goes on, she works as her piano teacher, and he struggles in the workplace to earn money for a mortgage and a car loan.
And the friend they had in junior high school had already been blurred by time and had no waves.
T City, the beginning of the second semester of the second year of junior high school. 14 years old.
From the very beginning of the year, some people have said that this is a crucial year and there is absolutely no slack off.
The mentality adjustment of the first year of junior high school, the entrance examination of the second year of junior high school, and the high school entrance examination of the third year of junior high school are indeed unable to breathe a sigh of relief every year.
Elementary school to junior high school zoning admission, there is no pressure of the exam, but junior high school students are different, they have the pressure of the high school entrance examination, for the first time in more than ten years of life to face this kind of knife-like bright examination pressure, every teacher is like a big enemy, students are also forced to grades first, with grades to divide three, six, nine and so on.
Li Qingyue was a thin and small girl with no interest at that time, the only thing she could do was the grades of the second millennium and the favor of the head teacher, Zhao Yuanzhi was a little short and a fat boy, with a poor mouth, she actually had a good relationship with girls. In the first and second years of junior high school, the two of them are obviously the sunniest people in the class, but they never have the opportunity to get acquainted with each other, except for sometimes walking home together, they seem to be the two with the most shallow friendship among the activists in the class. Even when it's time to go home, it's still four people together.
The two self-study classes after the main class in the afternoon are a good opportunity for most people to catch up with their homework, and the more they write in the self-study class, the fewer books they can take home, so this period of time is also the time when the learning atmosphere in the class is the strongest. During the recess, Li Qingyue walked to the desk of the first boy in the class with a stack of printed practice questions, and with an attitude of humbly asking for advice, after handing in a piece of Oreo, the first person in the class began to calculate satisfactorily. Zhao Yuanzhi, who was sitting in the front row of the first row, was attracted by the taste of Oreo, and after seeing this evil transaction clearly, he disdained "tsk" twice, stretched out his hand, and asked for questions and snacks: "Mathematics, come and come to help you take a look, the reward of two Oreos is enough, no more." ”
Li Qingyue is not surprised by Zhao Yuanzhi's behavior, he is the representative of the mathematics class in the class, although the overall score is about ten, but he has a love for mathematics that she can't understand, willing to study difficult problems, and willing to brush simple problems. In terms of math level alone, the two of them are actually equal to each other.
And, this cheeky little fat man's zero-miss policy on snacks.
Li Qingyue scolded with a smile, rolled the practice questions into a paper tube and made a gesture to fight, Zhao Yuanzhi used exaggerated acting skills to cooperate with ahh
The workbook was thrown by Li Qingyue on Zhao Yuanzhi's desk, and she motioned with her hand for him to read the last question.
Li Qingyue waited for two or three minutes, and then saw Zhao Yuanzhi turn around, very respectfully holding the exercise questions with both hands and handing them back to her, and said neatly: "I won't." ”
At the same time, the first also cooperated with the handing out of his own acting herbs, and said neatly: "I won't either." ”
Li Qingyue was angry and deeply examined why she came to ask for two boys.
The steps in the herb are the same as where Li Qingyue is stuck.
In vain, he also lost a piece of Oreo.
Li Qingyue walks with Sun Yuan, who lives in the same community, every time she gets out of school, but when Sun Yuan is sick, she needs Li Qingyue to help Sun Yuan memorize her homework and take her homework back after school.
Li Qingyue slowly sorted out Sun Yuan's things, and when she packed the schoolbags for two, the classmates on duty did not know where to go, and she and Zhao Yuanzhi were left in the entire classroom. It's already dark, the dim lights on the road are reflected in the hallway, and the world ahead is full of unknowns.
They went home by the way, but she never went home alone with Zhao Yuanzhi.
She tilted her head and looked at Zhao Yuanzhi waiting by the door with some confusion, she didn't understand why the friendship between the two people was so deep, and the happy little fat man Zhao Yuanzhi explained: "Just now, a girl from the next class came to chat with me, but Song Kai, who was not righteous, left first." I think we can go back together, so I'll wait for you for a while. ”
Before spring, the school emphasizes safety day after day, and it is very unsafe for girls to walk home for half an hour on a winter night, even if they take a long detour because of the sparse population. Li Qingyue wasn't sure if Zhao Yuanzhi had these considerations, but she was very happy with Zhao Yuanzhi's decision.
In addition, she really wants to get closer to Zhao Yuanzhi, and going home together is a good opportunity.
Zhao Yuanzhi didn't find out that Sun Yuan was sick and didn't come to school all day, and it was only after asking that he suddenly realized, and said with some frustration: "I thought you were a poor child who was abandoned like me, but it turned out that it wasn't, it's really sad." ”
Zhao Yuanzhi, who pretended to be sad, glanced at Li Qingyue, who successfully received his signal and nodded.
So, on the road, a person ran like crazy, a person spread his legs and chased wildly, wearing a heavy down jacket and carrying a full school bag, and two people who didn't care about the eyes of others ran like two clumsy bears, menacing and unaesthetic.
I don't understand why I want to run, I don't understand why I want to chase, but happiness is really happiness.
Zhao Yuanzhi, who was out of breath, stopped in front of the traffic light, holding on to the telephone pole and panting, and Li Qingyue, who was also out of breath, stopped a hundred meters away and slowly moved over.
The embarrassed boy looked at the embarrassed girl and laughed hahaha, the girl glanced at the boy fiercely, and couldn't help but hold her stomach and laugh.
It's like two fools.
It's just two fools.
Zhao Yuanzhi asked Li Qingyue about the math problem this afternoon, Li Qingyue didn't think much about it, and casually told him about it, with an obvious style of standard answers, simple enough and unpopular.
The little fat man took a deep look at Li Qingyue, and then continued to stride forward without squinting, as if asking casually: "Since you know the standard answer, why do you want to ask the first?"
The girl paused, cleared her throat and said, "Because I don't understand how some steps are derived, I want to ask others." ”
Zhao Yuanzhi sighed, and said indifferently: "I thought you couldn't do it if you wanted to verify that question." ”
The girl in junior high school didn't hide her inner skills much deeply, Li Qingyue was completely blown up by her thoughts, and looked at him with guarded eyes, and some dark things were almost about to turn into substance and surging out of her eyes.
Anxiety, jealousy, resentment, unwillingness. Why is that person always the first in the class, and even if she ranks well, she will always be fatally subservient.
These paranoia, which are amplified because of adolescence.
Li Qingyue: "Hahaha There are some things that you can't see through, otherwise how can you be a good friend." ”
Zhao Yuanzhi: "Hahaha, who is with whom, good sisters don't need to talk so much." ”
Li Qingyue, who was smiling and amiable, raised her leg and was about to greet Zhao Yuanzhi's buttocks, and the little fat man deeply understood that he might have provoked something terrible today.
Zhao Yuanzhi's home was closer, and Li Qingyue politely declined Zhao Yuanzhi's proposal to give her another paragraph.
The little girl who was a friend waved goodbye to the little fat man, and at the moment when the little fat man turned around and walked home, the little girl quickly grabbed the hat of the little fat man's down jacket, and attached it to the little fat man's ear and said gloomily: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful of being silenced." ”
The little fat man was scared out of goosebumps, hehe smiled dryly and rescued his hat from the little girl's hand, and squeezed out a smile like a chrysanthemum: "Don't bother you, the biggest advantage of our other work is to keep your mouth shut." ”
Li Qingyue was very satisfied, seeing Zhao Yuanzhi turn into a fork in the road, she happily waved goodbye to him.
She's really happy.
She thinks it's still interesting for this person to be friends.
Zhao Yuanzhi, who was far away, stood under the street lamp and shouted loudly at her: "I wish you good luck and the first place in the monthly exam." ”
She tripped over her own leg.
