Chapter 19: Some Rejoice and Some Grieve
Yu Zhile's activity of going to the Internet café was finally put back on the agenda, and occasionally she would meet Zhang Faqiang on the aisle of the Internet café, but they all expressed disdain to her with the cold snort that came out of the other party's nostrils, and she ended up covering her nose when the other party was spraying odor.
Yu Zihuan repeatedly knocked on the side and told Yu Zhile that he wanted to buy a computer, but his small arm couldn't twist Yu Zhile's powerful thigh after all, and after the plan to buy a computer was ruthlessly rejected, even the tuition fees left by Yu Zilian's grandmother were strictly monitored by her, cutting off the possibility of him cutting first and then playing.
On the other hand, after more than half a year of hard work by Yu Zhile, her Mary Sue masterpiece has developed to the most exciting part, and has a large number of readers on the Internet.
Since she had to go to the Internet café almost every day, she almost swore to the sky that she would not go home later than ten o'clock and would pay attention to safety, and finally persuaded Yu Zilian, who had entered the most nervous state of study, not to go to the Internet café with her, and concentrate on preparing for the high school entrance examination.
One night in early March, Yu Zhile, who came back from the Internet café, was still immersed in the world he had created and couldn't extricate himself, as soon as he opened the door to face the dark room, he was stretching out his hand to turn on the light, while wondering why Yu Zilian was not at home, when his eyes flickered, and a cluster of trembling flames jumped in the dark with Yu Zilian's singing.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you."
Yu Zilian's crisp and slightly thin and immature voice sang a birthday song, which was particularly beautiful in Yu Zhile's ears, and it broke her psychological defense line at once.
She herself forgot that today was her birthday, and she didn't know where Yu Zihuan learned about her birthday, but her eyes were red while she wanted to laugh.
Yu Zilian held the small cake in one hand, and protected the candle flame in his palm with the other. He walked slowly towards Yu Zhile at the door, looking down to check the candles from time to time, and the dim candlelight illuminated his smiling face from the bottom up.
The little boy with red lips and white teeth smiled at her gently and carefully, and for a moment it seemed to reflect the whole sky.
Yu Zhile's heart was soft and warm, and he closed his eyes and made a wish according to Yu Zihuan's meaning, and then blew out the candle on the cake in his hand.
"How do you know I'm on my birthday today?" Even after the candle flame disappeared, the room fell into complete darkness, and Yu Zhile asked curiously in the direction of Yu Zilian.
Yu Zilian's answer appeared closer to her than just now, "I knew it from Sister Li before." ”
Yu Zhile had filled in the employee information when he first went to the supermarket to work, so it was not surprising that Sister Li knew.
She felt something wipe her ears, it was Yu Zilian who reached behind her and turned on the kitchen light, Yu Zhile, who suddenly returned from the darkness to the light, squinted his eyes a little uncomfortably, and then found all kinds of food on the small table.
She glanced at it roughly, and saw fresh meat moon cakes, pork rib rice cakes, scallion pancakes and fried pork chops and other special snacks of S City, and then saw that the cake in Yu Zilian's hand was a ruby fresh milk cube, she couldn't hide her surprise and said, "When did you buy these?" You're going to run a lot of places, right? ”
During this time, Yu Zhile wrote to the end stage, often ran to the Internet café after dinner, sometimes Yu Zilian was late after school, she would leave him some food, and when he went home to warm himself, she went to the Internet café to code words first. It's the same situation today, so she doesn't know when Yu Zihuan returned home.
Yu Zihuan scratched his head uncomfortably, and his eyes were so vague that he didn't dare to look at Yu Zhile, "I went to buy it after school today, and I didn't run a few places." ”
Of course he didn't dare to tell Yu Zhile, he didn't even bother to eat dinner, and he was in a hurry and queuing up just to prepare a birthday surprise for her. If he says it, how can he be happy, Yu Zhile is only afraid that he will be angry that he is not doing his job.
"Taste it." Yu Zihuan pulled Yu Zhile to sit down at the small dining table, and diligently pushed those famous foods in S City in front of her, "I can't afford other birthday gifts, don't dislike it." ”
Yu Zhile is a foodie, or she will not be willing to study cooking, cook a good dish, many of the snacks Yu Zilian bought she has coveted for a long time, and some of the particularly famous college she herself went to the queue to taste fresh.
She smiled toothily at Yu Zilian, her eyes narrowed into a slit with happiness, "Don't say it, I don't necessarily have to be so happy to say goodbye, and I will definitely not dislike giving food!" ”
She took a bite of the crispy tonkatsu, and the tender gravy and slightly sour sauce poured into her mouth, and she was so happy that she almost swallowed her tongue too.
Yu Zihuan saw that she was so happy to eat, and the regret that she originally wanted to buy a computer for Yu Zhile as a birthday gift but couldn't do it finally disappeared, and suddenly her heart moved, and she asked, "What wish did you make just now?" ”
Yu Zhile closed his mouth and chewed while looking at him sideways, as if thinking about whether to sue him, and finally swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "If you say it, it won't work." ”
Her wish is to hope that Yu Zilian can be admitted to a middle school smoothly, integrate into the new environment of high school, make good friends of the same age, come out of the shadow of the past, and grow up healthily and positively even without her company.
It seems that there are too many requests, so she doesn't dare to say it lightly, for fear that God will not think she is greedy and will not agree.
Seeing that she didn't want to say, Yu Zilian was a little disappointed, and asked unwillingly: "Then is your wish related to me?" ”
This time Yu Zhile nodded happily, so Yu Zilian didn't ask anymore, lowering his eyes to hide his full smile, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise vigorously.
When Yu Zhile finally completed the final revisions according to the editor's requirements, the weather also faded from the shyness and timidity of the spring rain, and was about to usher in a warm summer.
The high school entrance examination was in mid-June, Yu Zilian didn't show much nervousness, but Yu Zhile, who accompanied the exam, was worried for two days, until the last exam was over, and when she saw Yu Zihuan who was calm and relaxed among the students who poured out of the examination room, her heart couldn't fall yet.
"Tired or not?" Yu Zhile handed the mineral water in his hand to Yu Zilian, watched him unscrew the bottle cap and take a sip of it, shook his head at her with his cheeks puffed, and then asked, "How did you do in the exam?" ”
Yu Zihuan swallowed the water in his mouth and replied, "No problem." ”
With his assurance, Yu Zhile's heart was put back in his stomach, and after the results were announced, the facts also proved that Yu Zilian did not say big things, and he was admitted to the best high school in S City by two points behind the top student in the high school entrance examination.
When he received the admission notice, he was still calm Yu Zilian, so happy that he sang and danced, and the person who almost wanted to take a loudspeaker to broadcast to the whole community was Yu Zhile, to be honest, Yu Zhile's happy appearance may make Yu Zilian happier than being admitted to No. 1 Middle School.
However, some people are happy, and naturally some people are worried.
In the last summer vacation of junior high school, the last thing I want to see Yu Zhile and Yu Zihuan is probably Xie Chenglong's family.
During the Chinese New Year, Xie Chenglong's chickens and dogs jumped for a while, Xie Zhenguo beat Xie Chenglong after returning from school, and that night Xie Chenglong's pig-like wail and Xie Chenglong's mother's heart-rending cry resounded throughout the community. After that, Xie Chenglong made a scene of running away from home, was arrested at the train station, and ate a man's fried pork with bamboo shoots without accident. Xie Zhenguo was really angry, banned Xie Chenglong's feet, and ordered him to study hard and make progress every day, but how could the little emperor, who had been used to for more than ten years and was in adolescence, suffer such grievances? The harder his dad beats, the more rebellious he becomes, and it's a vicious circle.
The final result was that when Yu Zi was named on the gold list, Xie Chenglong went to a third-rate secondary school in disgrace.
Compared with the two, Xie Chenglong's mother, who has always hated Yu Zilian's mother and son, has a heart jam and beats her chest at home every day, angrily scolding God for not opening her eyes, and the aunt and uncle in the community turn their faces quickly, and they often gossip with her about Yu Zilian's mother before, this time seeing that Yu Zihuan did so well in the exam, they have changed the direction of the wind, as if praising Yu Zihuan more can make their children's grades better. She really can't wait for Yu Zilian to be hit and killed by a car when she goes out, so that everyone she meets keeps praising Yu Zilian and setting him up as an example for the children in the community.
And if there is a mother, there must be a son, Xie Chenglong, who was frustrated in the examination room, wanted to call other children to bully Yu Zilian to regain his self-esteem, but it turned out that when he and his father had an adolescent revolution, Yu Zilian had quietly rebelled against the children in the community.
In this world of face-seeking, if you are good-looking and have a good personality, who is not willing to get close? Originally, Yu Zihuan was self-enclosed and did not socialize with other children in the community, under the guidance of Yu Zhile, at least on the surface, Yu Zihuan began to be happy to socialize with his peers, plus he was already smart and clever, and it was difficult to say that he was scheming far deeper than his peers, and it was completely easy to win over a few teenage children.
Facing the people who surrounded Yu Zihuan and were unwilling to listen to his dispatch to isolate Yu Zilian, Xie Chenglong was very puzzled. Yu Zilian stood among the seven or eight children without speaking, listening to them gossiping to defend themselves, persuading Xie Chenglong not to be special, his eyes were calm and flat, and he saw that the momentum had faintly taken Jackie Chan to become the king of children.
However, Xie Chenglong, whose brain surface is far smoother than his skin, didn't think about it so much, he was just angry that the children who used to follow his ass no longer listened to him, and angrily scolded them for not being righteous, naturally pushing those half-sized people who were already in a rebellious period and whose self-esteem was stronger than one another, and no one wanted to join him.
The people around him gradually stopped talking, and Yu Zihuan finally said lightly: "Aren't we friends?" We can still play together if you want. ”
"Phew! Who is friends with you! Xie Chenglong spat at him, glared at everyone with crooked eyes in anger, and turned away angrily.
Yu Zihuan stared at his back for a while, smiled coldly, and said indifferently: "Don't you remember what you said?" ”
