Chapter 11: Learning, Love
The first semester of the third year of high school, the third week.
The first round of revision in the parallel class is already on track. In the classroom, there are fewer frolicking figures, and the students who are seriously immersed in their studies have become a different scenery.
Sitting next to Yang Jingran, who was in the last row, was a school girl.
The teenage girl plays with her phone under the cover of a pile of books.
VogelimKafig: Are you there?
Yang Jingran, who was at the same table, felt the vibration of the mobile phone and took out the mobile phone calmly.
Vicious dogs who don't like cats: Yes, are you still worried about that?
He always responds to his messages in seconds, no matter how careless he seems on the surface, the girl likes the gentle attitude and childish character of the other party.
VogelimKafig: Well, I'm in a bad mood right now.
Vicious dogs who don't like cats: Tell me what you want to say, and then think about what you want to say?
Although the two are separated by a wall of books, they can still be sincere.
The girl glanced sideways at her tablemate, and after he picked up his phone and finished typing, he returned to his state of studying.
She knew that when the other party was studying seriously, he would care about his little willfulness. Thinking of this, her bad mood was much better.
VogelimKafig: Study hard!
At noon, the cafeteria.
Yang Jingran met Su Li.
He greeted his old friend, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, and the other seemed to respond to him because he was alone.
The two didn't speak again, tacitly marked the food, and found two empty seats opposite each other to sit down.
"Looks like you're still very taboo about me. Yang Jingran said jokingly.
"Why not? You're a big man, who doesn't taboo it. Su Li also spoke.
Yang Jingran, who has been friends with Su Li for two years in junior high school, even if they have ignored each other for several decades, he still immediately understands the meaning of the other party's jokes.
"Su Li, why are you alone again?"
Why do you use the word "again", Yang Jingran thought of the first time he met Su Li in the past, and the young man was also single, very pitiful.
"Something on your mind!" the delicate young man buried his head in eating, pretending to speak in a relieved tone, hiding the sadness on his face that was difficult to change.
"When didn't you bury things in your heart? You will definitely not be suitable to be an actor in the future, you know?" Yang Jingran looked at the young man who seemed to be unchanged, and the dish he had just picked up fell gently into the plate.
"Help me make up the lessons, if you don't have tuition, would you like to?" As soon as he finished speaking, he thought of one thing and spoke again.
"Who would do this kind of thing that doesn't make money?" Although he said this, Su Li nodded lightly, giving Yang Jingran a vague and clear signal.
"Why do you want to study again?" Su Li also changed the topic with Yang Jingran, and the sadness on his face disappeared a lot in the diversion of his attention. There was curiosity in his tone: "Or, why didn't you study in your sophomore year of high school." ”
Yang Jingran chewed the vegetables, thought for a while, and took back his divergent thoughts.
The cafeteria was noisy and crowded.
"Maybe it's because some people don't want me to study, no, I should say that I walked with that group of people at that time, followed their unscrupulous appearance, and pretended that I didn't want to study," Yang Jingran licked his dry lips, raised his head and swept over many, many strangers in his eyes, and continued, "It's used to relieve my negative emotions and escape the reality I don't want to face." ”
This is the first time Yang Jingran has exposed his wound, he touched the wound, and suddenly found that it had already scarred, and now it is just a scar that is hideous on the surface, but it is actually not painful.
Su Li understood Yang Jingran's relieved appearance without pretense, he smiled, and said in a very envious tone: "Congratulations to Master Yang for seeing through the red dust and escaping into the empty door." ”
"But you seem to have sunk into the red dust, do you need me to help you become enlightened, and you don't need tuition. ”
"It doesn't have to be. ”
Yang Jingran didn't continue to hold on, and returned to the original topic: "Eh, Su Li, what is studying for?"
"People around me say it's for themselves, maybe that's the standard answer. ”
After Yang Jingran finished speaking, he lowered his head to eat, and then both of them were silent for five seconds.
"Well, it must be so. If you don't have anything to do now, then read more books in school and write more questions in the classroom, these things must be meaningful. Otherwise, how could there be so many people persisting, at least more than 1,500 people around you are studying, right? So, if you are confused and overwhelmed, study it!" Su Li saw for the first time that Yang Jingran, whom he knew, would have a confused look that he couldn't see through, and at that moment, Su Li thought that Yang Jingran's negative emotions must be deeper than his own.
Even if he hasn't spoken or walked with him for two years, Su Li will be excited for him and express his sincerity unabashedly.
After Su Li finished speaking, he realized that his words seemed to be a little childish, and he chuckled embarrassedly, bit his lip, and looked at the other party.
Yang Jingran didn't speak, and he didn't bow his head anymore. His eyes full of gratitude were the answer.
After school in the afternoon.
Yang Jingran learns in a corner that people overlook.
VogelimKafig: I'm on the rooftop, vicious dog.
Vicious dogs who don't like cats: Hmm.
The girl sat down by the concrete wall of the rooftop, buried her head after typing, and her hair was blown by the cold wind in the sky.
Ten minutes passed.
"Bang!" the iron door opened.
"Bang!" Then Iron Gate suffered again.
"It's so cold up there!" the visitor chirped.
VogelimKafig: I'm cold too, give me clothes.
The girl still had her head buried.
Yang Jingran walked over, silently took off his blue and white school uniform, and threw it on the girl, and he only had a thin short sleeve on his upper body.
VogelimKafig: Suffocated, suffocated!
VogelimKafig: Poke and poke.
Yang Jingran's mobile phone vibrated violently.
"It's really difficult to serve the eldest lady!" Yang Jingran picked up his clothes, the cold wind blew from time to time, and the girl in front of him trembled obviously.
She raised her head, revealing a delicate and beautiful face, and said sullenly, "It's so cold!"
But after finishing speaking, she saw that the indifferent young man in front of her was only wearing a thin short sleeve, and immediately pursed her lips again.
Yang Jingran couldn't guess the girl's thoughts, but she felt a little embarrassed, and didn't dare to look at the other party, so she used the school uniform handed out as a cover.
But the other party didn't seem to appreciate it, and began to pout and look at him directly, and didn't move.
"Alright, alright!" Yang Jingran turned his head, showing a rare nervous expression, and perfectly draped the school uniform on the girl with the memory of the previous moment.
The girl couldn't see the boy's expression, and the boy didn't notice the girl's distressing look of being so nervous that she pursed her lips after being angry.
"Aren't you cold?" the girl's beautiful voice sounded, like the sound of a clear spring dripping down a mountain stream.
"Hmm. Yang Jingran's heart seemed to be pinched by an invisible force, and he was a little out of breath, but he was maintaining his original calm posture again.
The girl was very dissatisfied with his answer and indifferent appearance, and began to be angry: "A puppy who can only bark, who cares if you are cold or not!"
Yang Jingran was so nervous that he didn't hear the other party's words clearly, so he just stood, and his thoughts drifted somewhere.
"Sit next to me. When the girl saw Yang Jingran's indifferent attitude, she seemed to remember some bad memories.
Fortunately, Yang Jingran heard the girl's words clearly this time, and hurriedly sat down against the cement wall, only ten centimeters away from the girl.
Girls are very sensitive when they are sad, and any action they make will be misinterpreted as the harm caused by the isolation of others and their own uneasiness.
Girls are no exception.
In her eyes, the ten centimeters between her and Yang Jingran have become the ends of the earth, and the cold wind between the two is infinitely magnifying their distance.
Stupid, stupid, stupid!
Her eyes were hazy and she was about to cry.
At this time, how could Yang Jingran, who was nervous, notice this, and said unreasonably: "Xia Ke, have you thought about what you are studying for?"
"For what? for yourself?"
Yang Jingran heard a distinctly indistinct voice, and he turned his head sideways to meet the poor girl.
Her crystal glass eyes are so beautiful, and her blurred pupils can't hide the girl's sadness.
Hey, this elm head finally noticed.
"Xia Ke, are you very sad?" Yang Jingran said a nonsense, but Xia Ke knew that this sentence was an understanding of her. Even if it was nonsense, the concern in her tone warmed her cold heart.
The girl didn't speak, and she began to take the initiative to suppress her emotions.
"I used to cry, but there was one person who didn't allow me to cry, and she was my favorite person. She said that I am a righteous partner, I must have beaten the bad guys, and I am a very strong and strong person, so I am not allowed to cry. ”
Yang Jingran remembered some good memories, and looked at Xia Ke with hazy eyes, I don't know if it was because of her or because of memories, he showed a bright smile.
Xia Ke remembers seeing this smile when they first actually met, and this is the complex that makes her unable to extricate herself.
"In the fifth week of fifth grade, I changed schools. The day I left, she cried, and she cried and told me that she was not allowed to cry without her. At that time, I held back tears and left my favorite person strongly. ”
Yang Jingran was already immersed in memories, and he didn't notice that there was also a trace of selfless concentration in the blurred eyes of the girl in front of him.
"I remember, one time she was bullied and I stood up. But she said she wouldn't play with me anymore, and then I cried so much that I forgot why I was crying, and I just remembered that she said she wasn't allowed to cry, and then I didn't cry. ”
"And then. The girl asked curiously, and she had stopped her tears.
The cold wind blows.
"Later, there is no later. Yang Jingran didn't think the wind was cold.
The girl took the initiative to lean over, touched Yang Jingran's hand with her hand, lowered her eyes, and said, "If I cry, would you like to be the one who said you weren't allowed to cry and be my favorite person?"
Yang Jingran felt the temperature of the girl's cold fingers, and he interrupted the girl's unfinished words in surprise, and said, "Xia Ke, why are your hands so cold!"
The girl shut up.
The boy didn't hear the girl's later phrase "Be my favorite person".
Just as the girl wanted to withdraw her hand, she heard the answer she wanted most.
"Okay, I'm willing to be the one who keeps you from crying. ”
The flowers that bloomed at the beginning of love and the boy were in the cold wind.
