42 Secrets in Time
Yu Zhile disappeared at the end of Yu Zilian's first year of high school, before that, the classmates thought that his family background was not much different from others, and he did not show any abnormality, actively participated in group activities, and would joke with familiar classmates, just like any ordinary high school boy.
But what happened at the end of the second semester of the first year of high school made everyone suddenly feel that in the past nearly a year, none of them really knew Yu Zilian.
Yu Zihuan went home a week before the final exam, and after that, without any warning or reason, he suddenly stopped going back to school and did not even take the final exam.
Nie Hong and the other boys who were good friends with him couldn't get through to his mobile phone at all, and they had no other contact information other than their mobile phones, and they didn't know the address of Yu Zilian's house. The head teacher went to Yu Zilian's house and no one answered the door, so he contacted Yu Zilian's guardian through several setbacks through the neighbors.
The information that the head teacher learned from Yu Yanglan was unbearable, she did not believe it all, nor did she explain it in detail to the classmates, but only briefly introduced the situation at Yu Zilian's family, and said that there was another accident in his family, and hoped that the students could work with the teacher to help Yu Zihuan cheer up.
Only then did everyone know that his family's situation was so bad.
His father fled with debts, his mother died young, and his grandmother died of illness, and his aunt, who was the guardian, didn't care about him at all, and she didn't even know that he didn't go to school.
Such a miserable life experience is unimaginable to many Tianzhizi who grew up in a honey pot since childhood, and there is no way to even connect these things with the Yu Zilian they know.
Yu Zilian, whom they know, will be distressed that the questions assigned by the teacher are too difficult, and will be excited to achieve excellent grades, will seriously participate in various school activities with his classmates, and will also accept the lecture after being naughty and mischievous with them, and will unabashedly show off to his roommates how good the sister he likes, how much like a child whose life has never been illuminated by the sun, who has never worried about his livelihood, and who does not know the suffering of the world, just like everyone else in the class.
Nie Hong and Lin Tianyuan went to Yu Zilian's house during the summer vacation as class representatives, and before meeting him, Nie Hong imagined a lot of bad scenes, such as Yu Zihuan not eating or drinking at home, thinning down and working, or abandoning himself and mixing with social youth, dyeing Moxigan's hair, etc.
But after seeing Yu Zilian, he found that he was really thinking too much. Yu Zihuan is still the same Yu Zilian, he is not thin or fat, nor does he dye his hair and tattoos, smoke and drink, and toss himself beyond recognition.
But even if there is no change in appearance, some things are still different.
In front of him, who was so low and gloomy that people didn't dare to speak loudly, where was there a shadow of Yu Zilian, who was fighting with them in the bedroom more than a month ago?
"On behalf of our classmates, we are here to express our condolences." Nie Hong usually has the best relationship with Yu Zilian, but at this time, even if he is worried, he still performs his duties as a friend, pats Yu Zilian's shoulder and pretends to be relaxed and says, "How are you doing lately?" I didn't go to the exam to make a lot of money, and this time the last big questions in math and physics are simply perverted/perverted. ”
"Everyone is very concerned about your recent situation, don't worry about the exam, the teacher said that he will give you a chance to make up the exam." Lin Tianyuan also came back to his senses and said helpfully.
Yu Zihuan didn't say anything from the time he opened the door to the time he brought them into the house, and he didn't react much to their words, like a delicate doll with no expression or anger.
He made a gesture to them to sit down on the sofa, Nie Hong sat down without thinking, Lin Tianyuan saw that there was a thin women's coat on his side of the seat, and he was afraid that he would want to reach out and remove the coat when he sat on it, who wanted to touch the coat yet, so he heard Yu Zihuan suddenly say out: "Don't touch it!" ”
Lin Tianyuan was so frightened that he was stunned, and he was stunned and maintained a posture of half-bending his knees and reaching out, not daring to move.
Yu Zihuan didn't dislike Lin Tianyuan, he didn't step forward to take the coat himself, but instructed Lin Tianyuan to move towards Nie Hong's side, and sat down without touching the coat.
Nie Hong and Lin Tianyuan, the two boys, huddled together with wide eyes and stared at each other, unable to figure out what stimulated Yu Zihuan to become so neurotic.
"Well, what's going on with this coat? Why can't you touch it? Nie Hong couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.
Yu Zihuan poured water for the two of them and put it on the coffee table, standing opposite them, with a paranoid insistence in his eyes, "I want to keep it as it is, so I hope you don't mess with the things here, okay?" ”
Although Nie Hong and Lin Tianyuan didn't understand the reason, they were frightened by his persistent eyes, and nodded again and again.
Yu Zihuan also nodded, and returned to a state of silence.
Nie Hong cleared his throat, exchanged glances with Lin Tianyuan, and plucked up his courage to say, "Can I ask why you suddenly didn't go to school?" Your classmates are very concerned about you, but they don't know what's going on with your family or how they can help you. ”
"Of course, if you really don't want to say it, we can understand that." Lin Tianyuan hurriedly added.
Yu Zilian still looked so quiet that he was lifeless, as if his eyelids and the corners of his mouth weighed a thousand pounds, which made him lifeless. He raised his eyes and looked at Nie Hong and the others, as if he wanted to smile at them, but he really couldn't move the corners of his mouth, and his expression showed some weird incongruity, "Sister Xiao Yu doesn't want me anymore." ”
Nie Hong and Lin Tianyuan both knew who the "Sister Xiao Yu" in his mouth was, and since the beginning of high school military training, he had to call her almost every night. Several of them are at the age when their love is beginning to open, and they usually make fun of Yu Zihuan about this in the bedroom, but they all think that Sister Xiao Yu is the daughter of Yu Zilian's neighbor, but they never expected Yu Zihuan to say that there was an accident in the family this time, but it was related to Yu Zhile.
"You, out of love?" Nie Hong was a little uncertain about what he said, he didn't think that a simple lovelorn would cause such a big blow to Yu Zilian, or that the change in his imagination should not be such a thing as a lovelorn at all.
Yu Zihuan shook his head and said self-deprecatingly: "It has never started, how can there be a love to lose." ”
"You don't have ...... Why did you ...... every day before?"
"Something isn't wrong with her, is there?"
Yu Zihuan heard Lin Tianyuan's cautious words and stopped talking nervously with Nie Hong, and understood that they listened to his words and mistakenly thought that Yu Zhile had an accident or even died, so he was so depressed.
He didn't know how to explain it to them at all, and he didn't have the heart to explain, so he only said that Yu Zhile was missing, and he didn't go back to school because he was looking for her.
Before Nie Hong could react, Lin Tianyuan peeked some clues from the furnishings in the room, including the fact that Yu Zilian didn't let him move the coat on the sofa just now, and his words that he wanted to keep it as it was, all pointed to a conclusion.
"You've been living together before?" Lin Tianyuan couldn't believe it, so he had to ask it out in order to get Yu Zihuan's denial.
However, Yu Zihuan nodded calmly in the surprised eyes of the two of them.
"You ...... She's your sister? No, you like her, she's not your own sister, but you live together? Lin Tianyuan muttered incoherently, and then stared at Yu Zilian in a daze, waiting for his explanation and answer.
Nie Hong was already in a stunned state, looked at Yu Zilian, and then looked at Lin Tianyuan, who was no better than him, and simply didn't speak, waiting for an answer with peace of mind.
"We lived together for two years, she and I are not related by blood, and I do like her and like her." Yu Zilian said slowly but firmly, he paused and suppressed his sadness, "But she only regards me as a family member and a younger brother." So I never told her that I liked her, because I was afraid that she would leave because people said she took care of me with other plans. ”
Lin Tianyuan felt a little guilty for speculating about the cohabitation relationship between Yu Zilian and Yu Zhile just now, and was about to apologize, but Yu Zihuan continued: "But even so, she still knows. ”
"So she's gone?" Nie Hong asked tentatively.
"Hmm." Yu Zihuan nodded heavily and stopped talking.
Nie Hong and Lin Tianyuan looked at each other, and both hinted with their eyes that the other party spoke first to comfort them, and finally Nie Hong took a deep breath and said, "Oh, don't be too sad, maybe she calms down and comes back after a while?" When I come back, maybe I'll accept you? Be optimistic in everything. ”
How long does it take? Yu Zilian didn't dare to think about it at all.
He knew where Yu Zhile's hometown was, and he knew that she would come to S City to study at university in four years, but he didn't know if the Yu Zhile who knew him was still at this point in time, and he didn't know if he would have the opportunity to meet Yu Zhile, who might have been lost in the torrent of time.
But it is impossible to tell Nie Hong and the others, and it is impossible to tell anyone.
All he could do was to keep this secret of time alone, to pursue and wait in his limited life, and perhaps in the eyes of others he acted stupidly, but he was willing.
Yu Zilian, who returned to school after the summer vacation, was still as gloomy as Nie Hong and the others saw, or that the sunshine before was actually his disguise, and now such darkness is the real Yu Zilian, which is in line with his experience.
Because there is no light source, there is no need for camouflage.
But his depression that he was no longer enthusiastic about group activities and social interaction attracted the attention of Gao Bingqi, who originally only regarded him as a competitor. In the past, the competition between the two was secret, never brought to the surface, and they rarely even spoke. But Gao Bingqi was the first girl in the class to take the initiative to talk to him after Yu Zilian's personality changed greatly, she showed him the final transcript of the second semester of the first year of high school, and said: "Your make-up exam paper is different from ours, so this time we are tied, but you don't want to be absent from the next exam, we have to compete fairly." ”
The girl who has always been arrogant and proud is willing to say something like a tie is a big concession, but Yu Zihuan didn't seem to understand her words, her cold gaze moved from the report card to Gao Bingqi's face, and she didn't say whether it was good or bad.
There was no extra emotion and heat in his beautiful eyes, but he inadvertently crashed into the heart of the girl opposite, suddenly abrupt, without any reason to follow, but it became a secret that had been suppressed in her heart for many years in the future. 166 Reading Network
