The autumn winds are strong.

Young Zhu Yun followed her mother to school.

Today is the registration day, but Zhu Yun doesn't need to go through such complicated procedures, she is very familiar with this. My mother is the director of the high school of the school, and the elementary school she attended was not far away, so she often came here after school to wait for her mother to come home from work.

Her mother led her to the door of the school building and said, "You are waiting for me here, and I will go and say hello to your homeroom teacher first." ”

Zhu Yun nodded obediently.

Mother went for a while, Zhu Yun looked around boredly, and suddenly, a figure came into sight.

The figure stood by the flower bed in front of the school building, a girl, with her head bowed. After a few seconds, the girl turned her face as if she had noticed.

Zhu Yun hurriedly put it aside.

After being silent for a while, Zhu Yun secretly raised her eyes again and found that the girl had lowered her head again.

Then she started looking at her again.

Zhu Yun's brain was blown blank by the autumn wind.

While the other students walked around, the two of them stood quietly at the entrance of the school building. As if killing time, Zhu Yun looked at her repeatedly, and after looking at each other a few times, Zhu Yun's gaze was caught squarely. Her heart trembled, and when she was about to turn her head again, she saw the girl waving at her.

Zhu Yun looked left and right, pointing at herself.

“…… I? ”

The girl beckoned again.

It seems to be her.

The girl is taller than Zhu Yun, with a thin body, medium and long hair, fair complexion, and fine facial features......

Zhu Yun got closer and was shocked to find that she had put on makeup.

Her pale face, her dark eyeliner, and her mouth gently biting a string of red stamens, slender and bright, were the only color on her face.

Zhu Yun stopped.

The first time she met a junior high school student with makeup, it was a departure from her previous education.

The girl casually picked another bunch of red stamens from the flower bed and handed it to Zhu Yun.

Zhu Yun took it and carefully held it in her hand, the girl raised her chin and whispered-

"Sweet."

That was the first meeting between Zhu Yun and Liu Xiaoyan.

They only had time to exchange names, and Zhu Yun was called away by her mother. My mother's face was not very good when she came out of the teaching building, and she kept muttering on the way, "How did you divide this teacher, and you have to change classes if you have a chance......"

Zhu Yun didn't know why, but when school started, she saw the head teacher, Mr. Wang, who was a female teacher who taught Chinese, in her thirties, slightly fat, and had a very gentle personality. No matter what the students did wrong, she spoke softly and never criticized sharply.

Zhu Yun likes her very much.

Zhu Yun saw Liu Xiaoyan again in the class, and when she introduced herself, Liu Xiaoyan's words were the briefest, and she returned to the back seat without waiting for everyone to applaud after speaking. When passing by Zhu Yun's seat, Liu Xiaoyan glanced down at her.

"This girl is too cold." A boy in the back seat said.

Zhu Yun looked sideways, what is his name...... Fang Zhijing?

"I didn't expect my grades to be quite high." Fang Zhijing then said to his tablemates.

That's right......

Zhu Yun was also a little surprised.

This is the best junior high school in the city, Zhu Yun's class is a real class, and Liu Xiaoyan's entrance test can still rank third in the class, which is a very remarkable achievement.

But in the days that followed, Liu Xiaoyan did not embody the characteristics that a "good student" usually has. She doesn't speak in class, she never asks questions to the teacher after class, everyone buys workbooks to do, and she only completes the amount of homework every day, and she no longer studies.

She seems to be more focused on only one subject, and that is English.

Liu Xiaoyan is very serious in English class, and every time Zhu Yun is on duty, she can see the English books piled up in her desk when she cleans Liu Xiaoyan's position.

Maybe she wants to go abroad?

Liu Xiaoyan also has a notebook, on which she writes whenever she has free time, and puts it in the deepest part of her desk.

Except for the first day of school, Zhu Yun didn't talk to Liu Xiaoyan again, in fact, few people in the class talked to her. Liu Xiaoyan is too self-serving, and the fact that she rushes to makeup makes her look out of place in the group.

For this maverick student, Zhu Yun's mother also heard about it, she was very dissatisfied with Liu Xiaoyan's behavior of putting on makeup to go to school, and asked the head teacher to intervene several times, but until the end, Teacher Wang did not discipline Liu Xiaoyan too much.

Zhu Yun talked to Liu Xiaoyan again, still by the flower bed. It was a free activity class, and Liu Xiaoyan sat on the steps, writing something on her head.

There was no one else around, Zhu Yun quietly came behind Liu Xiaoyan and saw that the notebook was written in English. Liu Xiaoyan's English is very good-looking, proficient in flower characters, Zhu Yun's own English is not bad, but there is still a certain distance from her.

Just as Zhu Yun was struggling to identify the content above, Liu Xiaoyan turned around.

Zhu Yun reflexively pulled a string of red from the flower bed, put it in her mouth, looked at the playground in the distance, and pretended to pass by to see the excitement.

Why is the stamen a little numb this time...... Zhu Yun felt strange in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it, for fear that her demeanor would be unnatural.

Liu Xiaoyan was still looking at her.

Don't be afraid, calm down, Zhu Yun self-brainwashed, I'm here to eat strings of red.

"You can afford it." Liu Xiaoyan said.?

As if she had just noticed someone next to her, Zhu Yun turned her head to look at Liu Xiaoyan with a puzzled face, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Liu Xiaoyan's always cold face showed a rare look of embarrassment.

"Hurry up and get it out."

Only then did Zhu Yun take out the string of red in his mouth. If you don't see it, look at the past and the hairs stand on end.

I saw that the bunches of safflower stamens were crawling with tiny ants, and at this moment the ants were frightened and were fleeing in all directions.

No wonder my tongue is numb all the time!!

Zhu Yun threw the flowers and slammed them on the ground trembling.

Liu Xiaoyan couldn't hold back and laughed out loud on the side. Zhu Yun paused, she saw Liu Xiaoyan smile like this for the first time. When she was stunned, she forgot about the ants in her mouth.

Forget it, just eat it, original ecological food.

After that day, they became friends. Zhu Yun also knew for the first time that Liu Xiaoyan's notebook was copied from the Bible. The original text of the Bible was too difficult for Zhu Yun, who had just entered junior high school, and she didn't understand it over and over again.

"Do you believe this?" Zhu Yun asked Liu Xiaoyan.

"It doesn't count."

"Why did you write it if you don't believe it?"

"It's not that I don't believe it, I'm not in that kind of relationship with him."

Zhu Yun didn't understand, but at least she figured it out - that is, Liu Xiaoyan worked so hard to learn English, not for going abroad or for grades, but for the sake of God who couldn't say whether she believed it or not.

Zhu Yun has a hundred and twenty curiosity about Liu Xiaoyan, and she attracts her...... Strongly attracted to her. Zhu Yun plays with Liu Xiaoyan every day, they eat together, study together, and sit on the steps to eat flowers together.

The whole class had a misunderstanding about Liu Xiaoyan, thinking that she was arrogant and rude, and Zhu Yun felt that it was wrong. Liu Xiaoyan is indeed arrogant, but she is not rude, and her heart is very soft.

On a snowy winter day, school ends early. Everyone left, leaving only Zhu Yun in the classroom waiting for her mother to get off work. When she looked at the snowflakes outside the window in a daze, Liu Xiaoyan returned to the classroom.

She bought her a bunch of sugar gourds.

They sat in the classroom together in a daze, in the cold weather, the color between the sky and the earth was bleak, but fortunately there was this string of sugar gourds, which was amazingly red.

In the goose feather snow, Liu Xiaoyan told Zhu Yun about herself.

Liu Xiaoyan's parents divorced and she has been living with her grandmother, and on the eve of her enrollment, her grandmother fell seriously ill. At that time, the illness was urgent, like a mountain falling, and the doctor expressed it very euphemistically, and I was afraid that this illness would be more than lucky. Later, the hospital no longer admitted her grandmother to hospital, and Liu Xiaoyan took her grandmother home to recuperate, and her grandmother was tormented by illness every night, and Liu Xiaoyan had nothing to do.

By chance, she prayed to God.

"Actually, I asked for everyone." Liu Xiaoyan said, "I did everything I could, and he impressed me the most, probably because I just finished begging him that night, and my grandmother's illness improved the next day." ”

"So you started believing him?"

"Not faith." Liu Xiaoyan emphasized again, "When I begged him, I said that if he can help his grandmother, I will always be with him." He did, so I had to keep my promise. ”

"I see." Zhu Yun realized, "It's not a letter, it's a wish, right?" My grandmother believed in Buddhism and often burned incense to make vows. ”

Liu Xiaoyan thought for a moment, then nodded, "That's probably it." ”

In the evening, her mother came to pick her up from class, and on the way back, her mother told Zhu Yun to stay away from Liu Xiaoyan for the hundredth time. Zhu Yun was still reminiscing about the sweetness of the rock sugar gourd in her mouth, and agreed without saying a word.

"It's so unsociable at a young age, believe in some messy things...... mother complained along the way, "and your teacher, Zhu Yun, you remember, except for classes on weekdays, don't listen to all the nonsense she says." ”

Zhu Yun was stunned, Teacher Wang did tell them some warm and moral stories in his spare time, but it was just a passing and a chat, Zhu Yun didn't know why her mother would bring it up.

Later, as the difficulty of the coursework gradually deepened, the English level of the students also improved a lot, and Liu Xiaoyan did not deliberately hide it, and gradually everyone almost knew about Liu Xiaoyan.

She was further away from the collective.

She only has one friend, Zhu Yun.

But fortunately, the head teacher, Mr. Wang, was very lenient, and Zhu Yun knew that Mr. Wang had been speaking for Liu Xiaoyan in the Academic Affairs Office. Although there are still teachers and parents who are dissatisfied, Liu Xiaoyan's grades have not declined, but they are among the best, and the school leaders have turned a blind eye.

Christmas, Zhu Yun skipped class for the first time, which meant a lot to her, after all, it was the first time in her life.

Liu Xiaoyan took Zhu Yun to go shopping, Zhu Yun was frightened along the way, and felt particularly exciting. They sat in the middle of the square eating roasted sweet potatoes, and Zhu Yun nervously gave the gift she had prepared to Liu Xiaoyan.

"It's an important day." Zhu Yun whispered, "I checked some information." ”

Liu Xiaoyan didn't speak, and opened the gift box.

Zhu Yun became nervous again: "...... I don't know if you like it or not, it's cheap. She didn't have a good reason to ask her parents for money, so she saved up for a week's worth of snacks and bought the gift.

Liu Xiaoyan turned around, lifted her hair, and said, "Help me put it on." ”

Zhu Yun tied a necklace for her, her fingers trembled, obviously the weather was not so cold.

Liu Xiaoyan's neck is very white and beautiful.

"Put on the ......," Zhu Yun whispered.

Liu Xiaoyan turned her head and kissed her on the cheek.

Zhu Yun didn't dare to move, Liu Xiaoyan smiled and said, "I like it very much, thank you." ”

Zhu Yun was happy, they chatted, and Zhu Yun said, "It's about to be the end of the period." ”

"Hmm." Liu Xiaoyan didn't seem to care.

"Let's go for it, try to shut them up."

Liu Xiaoyan turned her head to look at her, "Who shut up?" ”

"The ones in the back seat of me."

Several boys, led by Fang Zhijing, always gossip about Liu Xiaoyan at school.

"They always talk nonsense, aren't you angry?"

"What are you angry about, he said that people have original sin." Liu Xiaoyan's slender fingers pinched the cross necklace that Zhu Yun had just given her, and said meaninglessly, "If you want me to be angry, they have to have that ability, believe it or not, if I ask Fang Zhijing for an essay in the final exam, he won't be able to win me." ”

Zhu Yun looked at her with a smile.

Liu Xiaoyan glanced over, "What are you doing, don't you believe it?" ”

Zhu Yun shook her head.

"Faith."

She likes to see Liu Xiaoyan like this, beautiful and proud, like a peacock.

You've got to win......

Zhu Yun said this to her in her heart.

Then, in the final exam of that semester, they did win, and the next second semester, they still won...... If that hadn't happened, maybe they would have won the rest of the final exams all the way.

In the autumn of the second year of junior high school, a horrific terrorist attack occurred across the ocean, which shocked the world. For a time, all the media rushed to report day and night, and the whole world was shrouded in an ominous cloud.

Zhu Yun, who is still a junior high school student, doesn't pay much attention to this matter, after all, she is too far away. Compared with her, Liu Xiaoyan paid significantly more attention to this matter. Zhu Yuntong guò reported that there was a religious element to the terrorist attack, and in those days, Liu Xiaoyan's words became less.

What Zhu Yun didn't notice was that in addition to Liu Xiaoyan, there was another person in the class, who was more silent than before.

Zhu Yun clearly remembered that it was Thursday, Liu Xiaoyan did not participate in the physical education class in the afternoon, Fang Zhijing was the representative of the physical education class, and came back to call her, Liu Xiaoyan ignored it, and Fang Zhijing had a quarrel with her. In the evening, when Liu Xiaoyan came back from dinner, she saw that the things in the desk had been turned over, and there were a bunch of black things in it.

Liu Xiaoyan took out the thing and shook it open, it was a black robe. Her torn notebook fell out of her black robe.

She looked at Fang Zhijing, who also looked at her.

"Anyway, you like God so much, just die with them, and you'll see it when you die."

At that time, Zhu Yun was called by her mother to go to the office to change the subject, and when she went back, Liu Xiaoyan had already done it.

The students took the initiative to get out of the way to watch the excitement, no one wanted to be nosy, and no one wanted to go up to help. Liu Xiaoyan has always been indifferent and arrogant, and there are many people in the class who are not used to her.

For the first time, she was so angry that she picked up the English dictionary on the table and smashed it towards Fang Zhijing's head. But Liu Xiaoyan is a girl after all, and her strength is far less than that of Fang Zhijing, so he pressed her on the table and put the black robe on her hard.

At this time, Zhu Yun followed Teacher Wang back to the classroom, Teacher Wang's face was tired, and as soon as she entered the room, she saw the chaotic scene, and she wanted to step forward to stop it. When she pushed aside the crowd and saw Fang Zhijing stepping on Liu Xiaoyan and wrapping her entire face with a robe, Teacher Wang, who had always been gentle and peaceful, suddenly collapsed, she rushed up and slapped Fang Zhijing, shouting desperately: "Crazy, isn't it!" Aren't they all crazy! ”

The rest of the class stopped, and the parties were called to the principal's office, and the others stayed in the classroom to talk excitedly.

"Don't you all know? Mr. Wang also believes that. ”

"She's believing the hijackers, right?"

"Yes, the two of them are now rivals from the sect."

"It's so exciting."

"Where did you know that?"

"You don't even watch TV?"

“……”

Zhu Yun didn't say a word, looking at the empty seat of Liu Xiaoyan, something fell on the ground, Zhu Yun walked over and found the necklace she gave her.

Maybe it fell off in the process of tearing it just now, Zhu Yun put the necklace away, thinking about waiting for Liu Xiaoyan to come back and put it on for her again.

But Liu Xiaoyan never came back.

She didn't go to school anymore, and Zhu Yun got news from her mother that she had transferred schools. Similarly, Teacher Wang no longer led Zhu Yun's class, and they changed to a male teacher who was very strict in teaching.

Zhu Yun did not look for Liu Xiaoyan again, because on the night of the incident, on her way home from school, she saw Fang Zhijing returning a black plastic bag to her mother.

At that time, Zhu Yun was still ignorant, and she still knew a little about many things, she just had a vague feeling-

In her life, she will never be able to see the girl who eats red with her again.

"Hey ......"

"Hey."

"Hey!"

Zhu Yun was woken up by a roar.

She turned her head and saw Li Zhuangyuan's impatient face, holding the certificate he had just received in his hand.

"What do you think, I can't hear you when I talk to you."

Zhu Yun looked ahead, Fang Zhijing also received the award, but he didn't come back, and was chatting warmly with the person in charge of the organizing committee.

Li Xun leaned back in the chair and said relaxedly: "It's finally over, I'll go back and clean up later, and take you out to play at night." ”

Zhu Yun didn't hear it, and Li Xun's voice was pushed away by her as soon as she finished speaking.

Zhu Yun jumped over Li Xun and grabbed Gao Jianhong on the other side.

"Are you still participating?"

Gao Jianhong didn't react, "What? ”

"Competition." Zhu Yun stared at him, "Didn't you say you wanted to participate in the competition before, and now you still want to?" ”

Gao Jianhong finally understood, "Yes, but you didn't mean ......"

"I've changed my mind." Zhu Yun held his arm tightly, "Let's team up, we'll get this in the second half of the year, okay?" ”

Gao Jianhong's eyes slowly brightened, "Okay! ”

Li Zhuangyuan, who was bored in the chair on the side, finally reacted at this time. He looked at Zhu Yun with half of his body on his thighs expressionlessly, and asked in an ominous tone-

"What did you say?"
