As he spoke, Wang Nan changed the topic again, and took out a very delicate jade flute from his schoolbag, Qu Mo had never seen it, so he couldn't help but come forward to ask, Wang Nan introduced to him, it turned out that she had been learning the flute with a relative when she was in elementary school, and she originally planned to continue learning in junior high school, but now her academic performance is so unsatisfactory, her mother won't let her learn it, because the instrument has been left in the place where the class was held, and she went there to get it back this afternoon. Qu Mo held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, thinking about so many holes, which one to blow, he blew one by one and didn't hear any sound,

"How do you blow it?"

Wang Nan took the flute and wiped the flute hole with his hand, lightly horizontally, put it on his mouth and immediately made a pleasant sound, Qu Mo didn't expect this sound to be so peculiar, as if it came from a distant foreign land, melodious and deep, like heavy as light, like a feather rippling in the sky with the wind, you don't know where it will fly, watching it fall slowly, always thinking that it is going to fall to the ground, but as long as the wind touches it lightly, it will climb again, swaying left and right, like a child who is drunk with a smile, no direction, no weight, in an instant, it is out of reach, and disappears into the blue sky with the wind。

Qu Mo's eyes stared at Wang Nan without blinking, she had already finished blowing the whole song, put down the flute, Qu Mo looked at her with an extremely admiring mood, Wang Nan seemed to feel it, and smiled embarrassedly,

"Have you heard this tune?"

Qu Mo shook his head,

"Is this a flute? I remember seeing it played vertically before!"

"I don't know. ”

"Let me see again. Qu Mo took it over and looked at it carefully for a long time, but this time he didn't try to blow it, he just admired this little magical object, which could give birth to such a beautiful sound, and his mouth couldn't help but let out a "tsk" admiration. This flute song remained in Qu Mo's mind forever, and for many years after that, he couldn't forget the shock at that time, and every time he talked to Wang Nan after that, he would unconsciously look at Wang Nan's lips.

I don't know why, after this experience, Wang Nan and Qu Mo seem to have changed all of a sudden, although there is no big change on the surface, they are still just discussing some learning things together, but both of them know very well that their attitude towards each other is not the same as before. Qu Mo will finish her homework early, make time to study with Wang Nan, no need for Wang Nan to speak by himself, as long as she raises her head, glances at Qu Mo, or frowns, Qu Mo will come to her, and what homework she is doing Qu Mo already knows, he will directly bring the book or homework. Wang Nan didn't want to be polite when talking to him, or occasionally joke like Wang Zhi did, but now she won't, and Qu Mo can only discuss and study, but Qu Mo can feel that her tone and breath are different from when talking to others, there is temperature, color, and sometimes there are praise and smiles, questions and confusion, Qu Mo can hear it. They would sit together for a long time, completely forgetting the existence of Liu Ying and Wang Zhi, and sometimes Wang Zhi would make jokes about them, "Wang Nan, can you borrow Qu Mo from the old man and help look at this question," or "Qu Mo, why don't you come back, don't sit for too long, you will lose all your martial arts." Wang Zhi will often say that some Qumo doesn't understand words, which is a bit inexplicable and a little unfathomable. Qu Mo and Wang Nan don't care, they look at each other, as if they can know what the other party is thinking, and then continue to discuss the previous issues, they often forget the time, Liu Ying and Wang Zhi are gone for a long time before they react, before Wang Zhi and Wang Nan will occasionally say hello and go together, now Wang Nan is with Qu Mo, although they are out of the school gate is not a direction, before it is usually written until nine o'clock, Wang Nan left, now it is ten o'clock if you don't pay attention, sometimes after the homework is done, she reviews what she has learned that day, Qu Mo also reviews with her, anyway, they always wait until the person who locks the door shouts to lock the door before they leave。

This period of time flies very fast, autumn goes to winter, and the end of the period is approaching in a blink of an eye, Qu Mo can feel Wang Nan's progress, he believes that this time Wang Nan should be able to meet her mother's requirements, at least pass, Qu Mo is very confident in her, Wang Nan himself feels that there is no problem. But as soon as the results came out, he didn't expect it, it was only fifty-eight points, Wang Nan cried on the spot when he got this report card, Qu Mo wanted to comfort her, but there were still many people in the classroom, he didn't dare, and he didn't know what to say, when she walked out of the classroom, Qu Mo followed her closely, and she didn't stop until she walked under the flag-raising platform in the center of the campus, she knew that Qu Mo was behind, but she didn't look back,

"I'm not afraid that my mother will be unhappy, or I'm worried that they will let me change classes, or change schools, if I don't do well in the exam after the transfer, I really don't know what to do, I feel like I've worked hard, but ......" She suddenly turned around and said to Qu Mo,

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Qu Mo didn't answer her question, but looked at her face in a daze, and then saw her lips, Qu Mo remembered the song she played that night, obviously someone was in front of her, but the voice seemed to come from a long distance.

"Why don't you speak?"

Qu Mo wanted to speak and stopped, Wang Nan was anxious,

"What do you want to say, if you have something to say, just let it go!"

Qu Mo held back for a while before saying leisurely: "Next year, we will definitely be able to score seventy points." ”

"Of course you can, you don't need to say it!" The look of disappointment on Wang Nan's face disappeared, and his smile began to stretch, although he didn't admit it, but he also acquiesced to what Qu Mo said, she was like this, her mood fluctuated, just now she felt that she was completely hopeless, but now she felt that next time it would be fine, and suddenly she was full of confidence. So she took Qu Mo to the roller skating rink to skate with her, and Qu Mo said that he had never played before, so he could only watch her play. But after arriving at the roller skating rink, Wang Nan directly bought tickets for two people, Qu Mo had to follow in, most of them were young people, to be precise, some students who did not study well, some dyed their hair, some had strange hair shapes, some wore strange clothes, many people smoked cigarettes, Xu Qumo felt very uncomfortable staying in such an environment, but Wang Nan didn't care, he skated on roller skating by himself, swaying from side to side, Qu Mo fell a few heels, and stood next to watch others play. There is no doubt that Qu Mo must be the worst sliding here, and those strangely dressed students are all agile and sliding. Reverse skating, are like a fish in water at ease, with the change of the rhythm of the music, their skating speed along the speed of the speed of the ice acceleration, a group of people began to form a long snake formation, methodically shuttling through the crowd, the door of the roller skating rink, surrounded by many people, there are curious adults, but more are some children, they all look at the people inside with envious eyes, Qu Mo is the same as them, but he can only blame himself for not playing. And the skating gang inside also seemed to know that someone was watching them, so they played more energetically, constantly changing formations, as if they were deliberately performing.

During the winter vacation, a lot of homework was assigned to the three main courses of Chinese and mathematics, Qu Mo had to write three or four hours of homework every day, he was reluctant to write, but he was worried that Cui Ying would talk about him, but fortunately, he still had a lot of time to play every day, and there was nothing to do at home in winter, and after finishing his homework, he would go to play with other children in the village, but at the same time, Qu Mo also hoped that his father would come back early, not because he was looking forward to Qu Xiangming bringing him back some delicious food, it was because if his father was at home, Cui Ying would teach them a little less, otherwise Qu Mo would be murdered if he came home a little late, "Have you finished your homework, you know how to play every day!" Qu Mo had no way to answer this question, how could it be done at once with so much homework during the holidays. However, when Qu Xiangming really came back, it was already the last few days of the lunar month, and in the eyes of the children, the New Year will always be happy, there is good food, there are good clothes, and you can also set off firecrackers, when you are young, using firecrackers to fight is the most common game they play during the New Year, but for the current Qu Mo, it seems that there is no attraction anymore, looking at the children younger than himself still playing the games they once played, he will suddenly feel that he has grown up. After the new year, time feels faster and faster, just watch TV for a few hours and pass, for the TV show Qu Mo still likes it as before, I heard many classmates say, there is a particularly popular TV series called Meteor Garden this year, students on campus, almost everyone knows that there are several stations broadcasting this TV series during the winter vacation, Qu Mo watched it several times in turn, and it was really exciting, Qu Mo occasionally remembered the life in school, and Wang Nan, I don't know what they will do during the New Year, the way people in the city celebrate the New Year should be different from them。
