Zhang Yi's face turned red, and she hurriedly disguised herself and looked down at the illustrations, and responded vaguely, "It's okay, nothing went wrong." “

"If you want me to say, your painting skills are much stronger than that guy from Quan Zhijun, you can get started directly on the stereotype, and you don't need to make drafts, you must have practiced, right?"

"Don't blow it for me, I like to draw and play since I was a child, so I'm familiar with it. Zhang Yi put his hand on the bun in his ear, raised his head and looked at Xu Hui bravely, "How is it?

"It's still a little bit short. Xu Hui shook his head, the other party's delicate face still had a faint flush, and when he faced Zhang Yi alone, he suddenly relaxed, as if he was back in the hospital, "Tired, aren't you?" “

"I don't care, it's just that your workload is too much, but it's a pity that my words are ugly and can't help you much. ”

"It's already very helpful, otherwise it will be up to me and Quan Zhijun to know when we will get it. ”

"I didn't expect that mimeographed tabloids require so many processes, where did you learn it?"

"Read a book and figure it out for yourself. Xu Hui was very proud, "Quan Zhijun is smart and likes to fiddle with these things, you don't know, the first time he collected membership dues, he bought a lot of messy things, ink, steel plates, engraving pens, rubber rollers, which frightened everyone, and I was very worried that the pocket money I had worked so hard to get would be wasted." ”

"And then?"

Later, the two of us simply went to his house to experiment together, tossed according to the instructions, hehe, and it was done in one afternoon. ”

"It's amazing!" Zhang Yi sincerely admired, "The literary club in the first year of high school in our school specially sent people to study in the school-run factory, and the final printed publication was not as clear and tidy as the layout of "Wilderness". ”

"From the very beginning of the journal, "The Wilderness" was completely on our own, and we did not receive any help from the school or any other quarters. Xu Hui was very proud, "You see that the balls on this mimeographed eraser roller were replaced by ourselves, and the wooden frame of this fixed drying net was also made by ourselves. ”

Zhang Yi nodded again and again, with admiration in her eyes, and she also had a more comprehensive understanding of Xu Hui's mentality and dedication to the literary club, and at the same time, she also had a little unconfidence in whether she could persuade the other party.

"Why don't we finish the third edition and we'll go back so that tomorrow can be easier. After weighing it repeatedly, Zhang Yi felt that it was not appropriate to persuade the other party to give up the literary club today, so she simply put forward a new suggestion.

"You're coming over tomorrow?!" Xu Hui couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

Zhang Yihan smiled and nodded seriously.

At sunset, a pair of young people strolling on Tongwen Street, where there are few pedestrians, Xu Hui bravely held Zhang Yi's hand, just like the summer outing, and the other party gave up after occasionally struggling.

Zhang Yi's heart was like a deer, she should have refused a little more decisively just now, but the other party's hand was so strong and warm, she tried to find an excuse to convince herself, but found that her inner desire was completely contrary.

The golden sunset is intoxicating, and the lyrics of "Several Degrees of Sunset Red" suddenly appeared in my mind, "Time can't stay, spring is gone, the tide comes and goes, gathering and scattering in a hurry, the past can't be forgotten, duckweed is still there, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red ...... several times" Zhang Yi's heart was suddenly covered with a layer of gray mist, and it became thicker and thicker, the huge shadow made her breathless, and the tingling feeling she had never had was unbearable.

Xu Hui turned his head to look at Zhang Yi, the bright smile in the afterglow was full of happiness, he didn't notice the strangeness of the other party's expression, he only felt that under the golden light, Zhang Yi was more beautiful and holy.

Let him lead him like this, and let it go to the ends of the earth.

Zhang Yi suddenly puffed up her chest and smiled at the sunset in the distance.

The next day, Zhang Yi came to the gate of the cultural compound as promised, Xu Hui was as excited as a chicken, humming all the way to the school classroom, but Quan Zhijun did not appear as expected.

The two quickly divided their labor, said that they would finish the printing of the ninth issue of "Wilderness", and if they still had time, they would go to Victory Park to play. So the two of them were full of energy, and the fourth edition was quickly completed, and at the end of the engraving, Xu Hui suddenly found a problem, the space reserved for the prose "Son of the Wind" seemed to be too much, and the end of the page left a blank space two fingers wide, which was very eye-catching.

"Oops!" Xu Hui threw away the pen in his hand and carefully checked the manuscript, only to find that there was a problem with the word count of this prose, which was obviously one hundred and fifty words more.

Although this is difficult for Xu Hui, it takes too much energy, and he still remembers to accompany Zhang Yi to the park to play. A few cautionary quotes, or a short piece of humor, would make up for it, but it would be much less interesting to fit in with the style of the entire page, or a large illustration? Xu Hui quickly dismissed the idea, which would make the whole page look top-heavy.

Xu Hui's series of anxious actions were seen by Zhang Yi, she bit her lip and hesitated a little before taking out a note and handing it to the other party, "The number of words is deliberately wrong by me, it is recommended to put this content in a blank space, it shouldn't be too abrupt, right?"

Xu Hui was stunned, hesitated to unfold the note, but after a quick glance, his face changed, so he pressed the note heavily on the table, "What does this mean? Why didn't you discuss it with me in advance?"

"I was going to say it yesterday, but I haven't figured out how to say it?" Looking at Xu Hui's gloomy face, Zhang Yi was a little timid.

"So, is that what you really think on the note?"

Zhang Yi nodded hard, "There is still a semester and a half to take the high school entrance examination, I hope you can be admitted to a school like the Affiliated High School, the literary club is too laborious, and it is just a temporary suspension of publication." ”

"Is it that the attached middle school is so good? Labeled as a key middle school, it is superior to others? But I believe that things are done by man. The literary club is everyone's business, don't talk about you, even I can't decide whether to stop publishing at will. Although Xu Hui's face was a little softened, "a school like the attached middle school" sounded harsh, so the rebellious character in his bones was not stopped at all, and the tone of his response was also very blunt.

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so strong, and the words were like pinpricks in and out of her mouth, which made her unacceptable, and in a hurry, she almost couldn't hold back her tears.

The air in the classroom began to be dull, Zhang Yi was like a primary school student who had made a mistake, rubbing his hands and being silent, and Xu Hui also felt that his attitude was too intense just now, and he was worried about hurting the other party, but the young man's mood of wanting face made him stare at the ceiling without saying a word.

"Well, it's me who didn't think it through, don't you mind. Zhang Yi tried hard to control her emotions and bit her lip hard, "But I still stick to the suggestion just now, temporarily suspend the publication, liberate yourself, which is more important, I believe you will grasp it." ”

After that, Zhang Yi picked up her small cloth bag and left the classroom sadly, and the moment she passed by, how she hoped that the other party could stop her, even if it was just a simple word, "Hey!"

But Xu Hui has been silent, it's not that he doesn't want to stop Zhang Yi, and even wants to reach out and hold the other party, but in his bones he is very disgusted by the advice to stop the publication, when everyone says this, he wants to do the opposite, this is a strong character, but also a weak character.

It was only a momentary hesitation, and he finally failed to make a move to save it.

I don't know how long he sat in the classroom, Xu Hui beat his spirit in self-blame, hurriedly finished the engraving of the fourth edition, and hurriedly printed thirty more tabloids, the original plan was fifty to eighty copies, but he really didn't have the heart to stick to it any longer.

In the early morning of Tuesday, Zhang Yi hurriedly opened the fourth edition of the ninth issue of "The Wilderness", and a striking blank space at the end of the page made her tears flow uncontrollably.

The ninth issue of "The Wilderness" was an unexpected success, and the response across the campus was good, but that was about it. Xu Hui's heart was empty, and he repeatedly asked Cheng Jing about Zhang Yi's reaction when he received the publication, but the other party was very impatient, "How do I know that the volunteer correspondent still cares about you eating, drinking, and Lazar?"

Xu Hui was even more anxious, writing an apology letter throughout the self-study class, but no matter how the wording was inappropriate, he threw a table of waste paper.

Xu Hui finally decided to follow Cheng Jing to the compound of the Press and Publication Bureau in person, he wanted to apologize to Zhang Yi in person, and he wanted to talk to her well. But Cheng Jing, who is usually very enthusiastic, refuses very abnormally, she has something to do with Hei Niu after school, so let's do it another day.

Cheng Jing naturally knew that Zhang Yi had been wronged, and in order to give her friend a grievance, she was determined to make every effort to treat Xu Hui, people would help you so much, and you would give his grandmother a temper tantrum, who do you think you are? Don't you want to see Zhang Yi? Go by yourself, anyway, the people in your cultural compound are walking sideways on the Liberation Road, and you want me to accompany you with a big girl?

Xu Hui, who touched a gray nose, was really like Cheng Jing thought, as soon as he got out of school, he went to the family home of the Press and Publication Bureau alone, standing at the door of the courtyard and looking around, in fact, he was still a little worried in his heart.

rehearsed the opening remarks repeatedly for more than an hour, until it was completely dark, and Xu Hui did not see Zhang Yi's figure, but caused a commotion.

Liu Haoqiang, the bastard, appeared at the gate of the courtyard for some reason, and he recognized Xu Hui at a glance, "I'll fuck you, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you learned to stand guard at the door of people's homes?"

"What's the matter with you?" Xu Hui was not afraid of the other party, this dead fat man who only bullied the soft and was afraid of the hard made him despise.

"Yo he, little cub, hard mouth, right?" Liu Haoqiang slapped Xu Hui on the head, although he was afraid of a few ruthless people in the cultural compound, but the little guy who didn't have full hair dared to ride on his head to pee, which he would never tolerate.

"Do you dare to fight again?!" Xu Hui, who was furious in his belly, was ruthless, he dared to guarantee that as long as the other party made another move, he would rush up and tear his fat at all costs.

Fortunately, the second slap of the dead fat man was dragged by his companion, "What are you doing with the child? Brother Niu is waiting, don't delay the business." ”

Liu Haoqiang scolded and left, Xu Hui spat hard in the dark and went home stupidly.
