Chapter 9: The rain stops, but to no avail
This long, long rain finally stopped.
Yang Jingran combed his hair, he hadn't received this "anonymous" reply for ten minutes. He had unconsciously told her many, many things, and those once sensitive words seemed to have been smoothed out.
Yang Jingran reminisced about the past year, which is indeed a different taste.
I was a dangerous person at the beginning, but now compared to the past, have I gotten better? Who knows? Now that I'm in my third year of high school, how much have we all grown? I'm no longer a part of everyone's world, maybe no one pays attention to how hard I study every day, and the teacher arranged a fixed place for me last semester in order not to disturb other studentsβthe last row by the window, the inconspicuous seat that just entered the school.
My change may be so inconspicuous to others, it doesn't matter.
Yang Jingran is also accustomed to showing a posture of not caring about anyone, and does not take the initiative to disturb and influence anyone. But he also knows how to cherish every rare friend who acknowledges it from the bottom of his heart. This "anonymous" must have been a friend from the past, and he felt this way.
Anonymous: Bai Xiaoxi has indeed changed, he feels completely different from when he was in junior high school.
The vicious dog who doesn't like cats: what kind of person was he in the past?
Yang Jingran was struggling with whether to send this message, he really hated people like Bai Xiaoxi who didn't know what was going on. But I don't know if out of curiosity of disgust for the package, or a long-lost wish - to pay attention to the weak, he still sent it.
Anonymous: How do you say it? Bai Xiaoxi was very cheerful and lively in junior high school, he played well with everyone in the class, just like now, but not like now.
Anonymous: In the past, he was always the leader and champion of the class activities. Now although he is the class leader, he seems to have a very clear relationship with others, I feel.
Vicious dogs who don't like cats: Oh.
Yang Jingran didn't pay attention to these issues related to the outside world, because there are only a few stars in his world, that's all.
Anonymous: I can't tell you anymore, he's not as good as he used to be anyway.
Yang Jingran didn't seem to understand, and the vague statement reminded him of Bai Xiaoxi in his first year of high school, a person with exquisite faces, but he seemed to have done something that did not match the surface.
When Bai Xiaoxi stopped him, Yang Jingran should have understood the fragility of this person.
Went home.
Bai Xiaoxi couldn't sleep, he saw the photo collection related to Yang Jingran on his phone, and his heart was full of thoughts. Thinking back to what happened today, he did not regret his cold and violent behavior, even if it was a shadow that made him scared and disgusted in the past.
He felt like he had changed, really changed, become less vulnerable.
But now the anger of disappointment and disgust with Yang Jingran seems to have been exhausted, and then the melancholy and confusion are mixed, which has become the worry of the young man's distraction.
Am I too sensitive?
"That's right. β
Bai Xiaoxi was not surprised by the appearance of this voice.
His pupils reflected a familiar baby face.
Do I hate him, or, don't I hate him?
"Hate him. β
Can I stop it?
Bai Xiaoxi hoped that he would ask why, and he did.
"Why?"
I really don't want to care about anyone anymore, I don't think these people need to exist for me, right? His good or bad is just a distortion of my negative energy.
"Well, then don't care. β
You have changed, Bai Xiaoxi thought in his heart, even though he knew that the other party could hear his heart. But only he will answer him with certainty, the answer that really belongs to him.
Xiao Hei was also amusefully silent at this time.
I hate Yang Jingran, this person who is too real.
"Then treat him with prejudice!"
Bai Xiaoxi smiled.
That's right, treat him with prejudice!
Went home.
Yang Jingran saw his father come home and sit on a cheap plastic chair and rub his shoulders to relieve the fatigue of a day's work. On the other side, her mother was stir-frying in the kitchen, and even if she was busy with her hands, she didn't forget to say hello to Yang Jingran, who had just come home.
"I'm back, Jing Ran. β
This may be a scene he never gets tired of watching.
"Yes, Mom. Yang Jingran shouted softly, but without the slightest indifference.
"It's time to eat, Jing Ran. β
"Good!"
Yang Jingran quickly returned to his bedroom to put down his schoolbag and treat his family in a positive and active state.
"Do you want to make up for you, Jing Ran?"
"It's too expensive to make up classes now, so I'll work hard for another half a semester to try to keep up with the pace of my classmates' revisions first. β
"Eat vegetables, talk less!"
Mom began to serve vegetables to Yang Jingran.
"Good!"
Went home.
Tang Wan saw her mother sitting alone at the dining table, waiting for her.
"Where's Dad?" Tang Wan habitually said this question, even if she saw this scene, she already had the answer in her heart.
"He came back late today, so you don't have to wait for him. β
In addition to him, there seems to be another person, right? Tang Wan didn't dare to say what she wanted, behaved well, and put her schoolbag away.
Her family was originally a family of four.
Tang Wan took five minutes to prepare the etiquette before the meal, sat opposite her mother in a proper manner, and said, "Mom, can you eat?"
Mom began to move her chopsticks and asked seemingly casually, "Wan'er, how are you studying?" Have you kept up with the teacher's review recently?"
"It's okay, it's just that the volleyball team's training doesn't end until the next semester, so it's always busy. β
"Then take care of yourself and don't be bullied. β
"Hmm. β
Tang Wan kept her head down and behaved very well-behaved.
"I heard that there are a few dangerous people in your school, right?"
"What school doesn't?"
"Don't deal with Yang Jingran in your class, he is just as useless as your brother now. β
It turns out that you still know him, but now you only know his bad and evil? Tang Wan took a bite of white rice, feeling that the maltose was a little bitter today.
"Oh, got it. β
After eating.
Tang Wan returned to her room and did not close the door. Because when she was studying, her mother occasionally came to see her studying.
Dad also came back and complained a few words about the distress of work.
It was normal all the way until the lights went out.
In the bedroom, Tang Wan nestled in the corner of the bed and turned on her mobile phone.
Isn't the dandelion full of stars: Uncle, are you there?
Uncle Longlegs: The Troubled Girl is online.
Dandelion is not full of stars: Uncle, I spoke to my friend today.
Uncle Longlegs: Is that the one you have a crush on?
Dandelion is not full of stars: well, but I dare not tell him who I am, I only dare to use "anonymity" to talk to him.
Uncle Longlegs: You're scared that this boy will have the same good feelings about you as you used to, are you afraid that he will act like a stranger to you?
Dandelions are not full of stars: I don't know what will happen!
Tang Wan shrunk the quilt covering her body, her beautiful eyelashes drooped, and the white light hit her lonely face.
Uncle Longlegs: You're already in a quandary, little girl.
Dandelion is not full of stars: I, I don't know if he is still as good as before, I am afraid of him, I am afraid that he does not have the feeling of expectation of me.
Tang Wan no longer knows what she is talking about, in her heart, that beautiful person has not changed, and today she still feels as good as ever.
Words that go against the will also have real emotions.
Uncle Longlegs: And how did you feel after communicating with him "anonymously"?
Did Uncle Long-legged also see it? Tang Wan knew that the other party could see her cover-up.
Dandelions are not starry: I don't know.
She didn't know what to say.
Uncle Longlegs: Don't know what to say?
Dandelion is not starry: yes.
Uncle Longlegs: Do you want to continue this beautiful lovesickness, or do you have the attitude of pursuing unknown results?
Dandelions are not starry: I don't know.
Dandelions are not starry: really.
Dandelion is not a starry sky: I wanted to say a word to him, but my girlfriends always kept me away from him.
Uncle Longlegs: Your friend's words and cowardice seem to be holding you back.
Dandelion is not full of stars: uncle, what should I do?
Uncle Longlegs: Go confess.
Uncle Longlegs: But you may lose this beauty, do you want to do it? Will you do it?
Tang Wan put down the phone, her pupils dilated, and her thoughts returned to the past, the summer with crying.
