Chapter 10 High School
As the summer vacation came to an end, Miao Yun seized the last bit of time to accompany Su Xia to another city to participate in an art exhibition. Mai Dong and Du Heng once again started a life of dependence on each other.
"Mai Mai, I'll use your sketchbook. ”
"Feel free to use it...... Why is this bowl so dirty!"Scrub, scrub, wash, wash. I finally found out that I washed the dishes once, but I encountered such a dirty one, and I never wanted to wash the dishes again, so I would wash the dishes next time. Mai Dong washed the dishes, dried his hands, walked out of the kitchen, and saw Du Heng at the table.
"What are you looking at, so engrossed?" Mai Dong walked over and found Du Heng holding his sketchbook in his hand.
Mai Dong couldn't determine the direction of her life for a whole summer, she had a habit in her previous life, when she was distracted, she would draw things in her sketchbook indiscriminately, sometimes characters, sometimes scenes. There is too much time to be in a daze during a summer vacation, and the sketchbook is full of paintings, most of which are Du Heng, Du Heng who is writing, Du Heng who is thinking, and Du Heng who is smiling......
Du Heng raised his head and looked at her: "I didn't even know that you were so good at painting." ”
After painting most of the book, and finally being seen by me, Mai Dong felt very embarrassed, and reached out to take it back: "It's all blind, don't look at it." ”
"I think it's a good drawing, can you give this one to me?" It was a four-panel cartoon of two people cooking and washing dishes, and I don't know when it was drawn.
Mai Dong blushed and ripped off the painting: "For you to give it to you." ”
Du Heng just laughed, didn't speak, the evening breeze was slightly drunk, and a smell of spicy crayfish blew outside the window, Mai Dong blinked: "Suddenly I want to eat spicy crayfish!"
Du Heng frowned: "The outside has not been cleaned up, and I will buy it for you tomorrow." ”
You are not picky about eating Mai Dong, nodded, and looked at him with a wink: "Then you must buy it for me, all the cells in my body are shouting that they want to eat crayfish." ”
"Yes, yes. I'll buy you the freshest one early tomorrow morning. ”
When Mai Dong woke up early the next morning, he only saw the breakfast and a note left by Du Heng on the table: "I went to buy shrimp, remember to eat breakfast." ”
I don't know how early he left, the food on the table was already slightly cold, Mai Dong called him, the phone was picked up after thinking for a long time, Du Heng's voice was very strange, with a huge gasp: "Mai Mai ......"
"What's wrong with you?" Mai Dong felt a little uneasy inexplicably.
"Nothing. Du Heng seemed to have adjusted his breath, and this time the answer went a lot smoother, Mai Dong was about to ask, and there was a noise on the other end of the phone: "Look over there......"
"Mai Mai, I'll talk about it later. The phone clicked and was hung up, Mai Dong's heart rose to his throat, who were those people, why were they looking for Du Heng, how is Du Heng now, Mai Dong took out her mobile phone, and immediately stopped, she didn't dare to call, she was worried that Du Heng would be exposed. Waiting is really the most anxious thing in the world, and Mai Dong keeps pacing around the room, and the time feels like it is being extended indefinitely.
"Click. "There was a sound of the door opening outside.
Mai Dong quickly ran out, and Du Heng was carrying a bag of shrimp and a few bags of fruit, and was changing his shoes. Mai Dong looked up and down anxiously: "How are you, are you injured, who are those people...... There seems to be no obvious bloodstains, will there be internal injuries?
Du Heng patted her shoulder: "Mai Mai, don't worry, I'm fine." It's really fine. I'll put the shrimp in the pool first, and then I'll tell you what happened in the morning. Don't worry, sit on the couch and wait for me. ”
Mai Dong's heart miraculously calmed down, walked into the house and sat on the sofa, obediently waiting.
Du Heng didn't go in for a long time, and when he came out, he washed the grapes. Seeing Mai Dong sitting on the sofa like a well-behaved child, he couldn't help but smile: "Come and taste this grape, it's very sweet." ”
Mai Dong didn't have the heart to eat grapes at this time, so he took his hand and sat down: "Tell me quickly, what happened?"
"You taste the grapes first. Du Heng skillfully peeled the grapes and handed them to her, and Mai Dong took them: "Wow, it's very sweet." "Sweet stuff helps relieve anxiety. Mai Dong ate one and took the initiative to pick up the second one.
Du Heng only then began to talk about the morning, when he went to buy shrimp in the morning, he met the perpetrator of the car accident that day. He remembered that the original verdict was that the person was to be detained for six months, and now he has not been released for three months. Confused, he decided to go over to confirm whether it was that person, before he could get closer, he saw a car coming, the man who got out of the car was wearing a hat and sunglasses, but the side face that was unintentionally revealed was very familiar, he followed more carefully, those people came to a hotel together, seeing that the man was about to take off his hat, Mai Dong made a phone call, and several people found Du Heng, Du Heng could only run away and hide.
"Do they recognize you?"
"Probably not, I was twenty meters away from them, and I wore a sweatshirt and hat when I followed them just now. ”
"That's good. Mai Dong thought for a while and said: "I forgot to tell you last time, I just went to check the driver who caused the accident, and then I was stabbed before I came back." The man seems to be underage this year, and he lives in ...... Yes, in the direction of the outskirts of the city. Shall we check it out?"
"Mai Mai, I was walking down the road and thinking, what would I have done if I had just caught up and seen the man's face? and then I realized that I couldn't do anything, just like the last time you went to the police station and tried to tell those people that Daddy was in danger, those people would think of us as children talking nonsense, and no one would believe us. And more likely to be startled, Dad was so seriously injured this time, then the opponent must not be simple. So, now I'm going to choose not to investigate, but to hibernate, and only if I am strong enough to kill the enemy with one blow. ”
Sure enough, after that day, Du Heng never mentioned this matter again, but Mai Dong knew very well that hiding does not mean forgetting.
The new semester began soon, and Mai Dong was very unfortunate to meet the queen mother who was the head teacher. Before Mai Dong could protest, Ms. Miao talked to her first: "Keep your distance from me at school, I was originally a beautiful girl teacher, and suddenly a big girl like you appeared, I was worried that those children would be hit." ”
Mai Dong: Hehe. She still can't wait to pretend that she is not familiar, who can understand the bitterness of the teacher's children, and the classmates dare not gossip with you, for fear of accidentally reaching the teacher's ears. As long as the little secret circulating in the class is known by the teacher, the first suspect must be you. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone is not familiar with it now, it is very necessary to hide their identity.
On the first day of school, Mai Dong was called by her old lady to turn around, receive school uniforms, move books, and all kinds of chores, and Ms. Miao shouted without ambiguity at all. Mai Dong entered the office for the fifth time, and he couldn't bear it: "Mom, can you do it, call me for everything, you can't find someone else?"
"Isn't that embarrassing to call other people's children, so that you don't have a psychological burden. Don't worry, after you're busy today, I'll choose the class committee cadres and get you off immediately. Come on, come on, hurry up and send this pile of papers, and I'll talk about it in class later. ”
"Ahh At the end of school in the evening, Mai Dong read all the way to Du Heng, emphasizing how heartbroken the queen mother was. Du Heng listened to her quietly, and did not interrupt and occasionally reached out to help her. At night, the campus was dark, the front of the faculty building was under construction, the road was full of potholes, Mai Dong only cared about talking while walking, and almost fell down several times. finally walked to the bottom of the building, and then began to ask: "How are you in the fourth year of high school?" Du Heng did not enter the ordinary senior class, but directly entered the senior review class of repeat students.
"It's good, the learning atmosphere is very strong. "Everyone was so focused on learning that they didn't even talk much.
"That must be very boring, my table mate seems to be a scholar, she doesn't like to talk, I give her eight words, and it would be good if she could reply one. Hey, do you think I'm going to continue to tackle tough problems, or do I change my strategy to find other friends?"
"...... you are at the same table" Du Heng's eyes flashed: "Male or female?"
"Of course it's a lesbian table, you don't know my mother's character, with me as the center, all surrounded by girls, and they are all positive, hard-working school bully, it's boring. Mai Dong said that there were countless bitter waters to tell about the start of school, and he didn't find that Du Heng was secretly relieved.
"But let me tell you, I found that my top student at the same table was really abnormal, his face was pale, and he finally gave me a word and was weak, just like a seriously ill person, did you say that he had studied too much, do you want to tell my mother?" Mai Dong remembered that the girl's pale face during the day was still a little uneasy.
"What do you want to tell me?" Ms. Miao's voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Oh my mother, you almost scared me to death on the big night. Mai Dong patted his chest.
"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, what bad things do you say about me, scared like this?" Ms. Miao saw through her daughter at a glance.
"How can I ......" at most a little complaint, but I still can't let my mother know: "I was just thinking about my table mate Gan Lingling, she was pale all afternoon today, can't it be some illness?"
"Really?" Ms. Miao didn't come to class for a meeting in the afternoon, so she didn't know about it, so she was anxious: "While the lights in the bedroom haven't been turned off yet, then I'll go and take a look, don't really have anything." As he spoke, he handed Mai Dong a bag of things: "You take it back and put it away." After saying that, he ran away in a hurry, but fortunately, the classroom staff building was next to the school.
"What is it?" A big bag almost didn't hold it, Du Heng hurriedly took it and opened it to see: "It seems to be a military training uniform." ”
Mai Dong was anxious in an instant: "Military training! I actually forgot to ask for military training! I don't want military training, I don't want to bask in the sun, I will die if I bask in the sun, don't want military training!" The voice was desolate, the listener was sad, and the listener wept.
