5. On the way home

Walking to the first floor, Xu Ziran saw Qiu Yurou's back.

She was carrying a gray canvas backpack, and when she walked, her head was bowed, and she felt incredibly low.

If Xu Ziran hadn't been looking for her on purpose, it is estimated that such a person would never have been noticed in the crowd.

Xu Ziran thought of Qiu Yurou, who looked awe-inspiring when she walked casually in the crowd ten years later, and felt that even if they looked exactly the same, they didn't look like the same person.

No wonder they only became close after college, Xu Ziran has always only become friends with people he admires, if Qiu Yurou has always been gloomy in high school, presumably no matter how talented the other party is, Xu Ziran will not get close to her.

But now, there is a strange system that makes her have to get closer to Qiu Yurou.

Xu Ziran scratched his head, walked forward quickly, and came to Qiu Yurou's side.

She originally wanted to grab Qiu Yurou's wrist, but she remembered the previous experience of being disliked three or four times, so she stopped her hand and only said, "Let's go together." ”

Qiu Yurou glanced at her, didn't speak, only lifted the shoulder strap of the schoolbag, and quickened her pace.

Xu Ziran: "......" This is really, how disgusted I am.

If Xu Ziran was in high school, he would definitely give up when he encountered the current situation-who is not a little princess, but twenty-nine-year-old Xu Ziran has already exercised a good face, not to mention that such a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl is just a child in her eyes.

She knows that girls at this age are sensitive and impulsive, and often embarrass themselves and others for inexplicable reasons, but in fact, most problems can be solved by just communicating.

So she also quickened her pace and kept up with Qiu Yurou's pace.

Xu Ziran followed Qiu Yurou through the crowd, and gradually arrived at a place where the flow of people was relatively sparse, and when he looked around, he found that it was a bicycle garage.

She secretly said that it was not good, and now I remember that when she was in high school, she rode a bicycle to and from school.

However, she has long forgotten what her high school bike looked like and where it was parked.

She tried not to show her blank face, and her eyes swept over and over the bicycle parking space in the first year of high school, hoping to find her bicycle.

Just when her head was as big as a bucket, Tian Jiaqi and Meng Shitao came in from the entrance, Meng Shitao said hello to Xu Ziran, but Tian Jiaqi didn't see Xu Ziran, walked in front of her with a cold face, went to a bicycle, and opened the lock.

Xu Ziran's eyes lit up, and he remembered that his bicycle had always been parked next to Tian Jiaqi.

She hurriedly walked to Tian Jiaqi's side, and sure enough, she found the bicycle from her high school days, although her impression was blurred, but she still recognized it at once after seeing it, and then rummaged through her pockets all over her body to find the bicycle key and pushed the bike out.

When she pushed the car out, she inevitably bumped into Tian Jiaqi, so she subconsciously said "sorry".

Tian Jiaqi was originally just expressionless, but when she heard this, as if she had been insulted by something, she frowned and pursed her mouth tightly, tilted her head to the side, and didn't look at Xu Ziran.

Xu Ziran saw Tian Jiaqi's expression, and felt suffocated in her heart, thinking secretly: She must be crying.

Tian Jiaqi has always felt that friends should not say polite words such as "sorry" and "thank you", Xu Ziran said this, as if she no longer regarded her as a friend.

Tian Jiaqi usually looks arrogant and narcissistic, but in fact she is a crybaby.

It's just that she is not proud, and she definitely doesn't show a vulnerable appearance in front of others, no matter how aggrieved the situation was at the time, she will only cry silently when she goes home.

Xu Ziran suddenly thought that she might not know the twenty-nine-year-old Tian Jiaqi anymore, but in this world, the person who knows the fifteen-year-old Tian Jiaqi best must be Xu Ziran.

She couldn't help but squeeze the handlebar, and finally pushed the cart out of the garage quickly - Qiu Yurou didn't wait for her at all, and now there was no shadow.

She got out of the garage, but she still didn't see Qiu Yurou, thinking that the other party must have ridden away, and she knew in her heart that it was probably no fun to catch up, so she finally gave up and rode home according to her impression.

The road plan for this part of the school has changed a lot in the past ten years, and three years later there are two asphalt roads on the left and right sides, and the row down is full of residential buildings and large shopping malls.

But now the road is still being built on the left side of the school, and there is still a cement road on the right, and the road is full of wasteland and bald mountains.

For Xu Ziran, this experience of riding a bicycle home is a long-awaited experience, and there is even a trace of strangeness, so he slowly pedaled the bicycle all the way, while wanting to enjoy the scenery along the way that he had not seen for a long time.

However, all the way to the eye, but the grass is overgrown or abandoned fields, the sunset dyes the fields orange and red, but the scenery is even more chaotic and dim, Xu Ziran felt that it was not interesting, and when he looked up again, he saw Qiu Yurou.

Qiu Yurou pushed the cart and limped forward.

It looked like she had injured her right foot and couldn't ride her bike, so she had to push it away.

Xu Ziran frowned slightly, knowing that the moment she was hit by Hu Tutu just now, Qiu Yurou was really injured.

She hurriedly sped up to Qiu Yurou's side, and then stopped.

Qiu Yurou had headphones in her ears, and she didn't notice it until Xu Ziran came to her, as if she was startled, and stopped suddenly.

She raised her head and looked at Xu Ziran, her expression was a kind of confusion that had not yet had time to dissipate.

But this confusion quickly turned expressionless after seeing Xu Ziran, she lowered her head and continued to walk forward, but this time her steps were no longer limping.

Xu Ziran looked at Qiu Yurou like this, and thought of Tian Jiaqi who was pursing her mouth and holding back her tears, and the two feelings of guilt were mixed together for a while, and she couldn't help but say: "Don't walk if your feet hurt, I'll take you." ”

Qiu Yurou paused and didn't speak, but this time she no longer hid the pain she screamed out for, and limped again.

Xu Ziran was inexplicably upset, stepped forward and grabbed Qiu Yurou's arm, and said, "Don't go, I'll take you." ”

This time, Qiu Yurou finally spoke after being silent for a long time: "No need, it didn't hurt my muscles and bones, but it was a little sprained." ”

Xu Ziran knew that Qiu Yurou's whole family was a doctor, and she later became a doctor, so she didn't doubt her judgment, and then thought of her current weight, it was estimated that she couldn't take Qiu Yurou, so she was no longer reluctant, but just got out of the car and accompanied Qiu Yurou to push the cart together.

The cold wind came overwhelmingly, burrowing into the loose scarf around his neck, Xu Ziran shrunk his neck, sniffed, and then sneezed several times.

She remembered that she was feeling sick now, no wonder she felt that something was wrong, and she didn't know what time it was, whether it was the flu season.

She casually asked, "What is the date of today?" ”

As soon as this question was asked, Xu Ziran herself felt a little stupid, but for her, she really didn't know, and she was very curious.

She thought that Qiu Yurou would not answer, but she didn't expect Qiu Yurou to speak this time: "February 23, Wednesday." ”

Xu Ziran asked again: "What are the classes tomorrow, and is today's homework those test papers?" ”

Qiu Yuju: "Chinese in the morning, Chinese language, English English, in the afternoon, physics, mathematics, mathematics, mathematics. ”

Xu Ziran had a ghostly expression: "Why is it all a math class." ”

Qiu Yurou said: "The music teacher and the math teacher have changed classes, and the last math test was not good, and the last section was self-revised to math. ”

Xu Ziran kicked the stones on the ground unhappily, and suddenly thought that Qiu Yurou didn't feel strange to ask these questions by herself.

As she was thinking about this, and thinking about what to say to cover up her unscientific ignorance, Qiu Yurou said-

"Are you unhappy today?"

Xu Ziran was stunned for a moment, and secretly thought: I didn't think you were unhappy, why do you still think I'm unhappy?

But she said, "It's okay, why do you think so." ”

Qiu Yurou lowered her head, and her voice was so light that she could barely hear clearly: "Didn't you keep lying on the table and sighing, and you didn't even listen to the teacher." ”

Xu Ziran laughed: "I thought you hated me, but you still noticed me." ”

She was just joking to get closer to the relationship, and it was self-defeating, Qiu Yurou was thin-skinned, and when she heard this, she simply stopped talking.

Xu Ziran sighed, and thought about talking about other redemption topics.

She glanced at Qiu Yurou indistinctly, and saw that the other party had now taken off the earphones hanging from the scarf, and asked, "What are you listening to, can I listen?" ”

Qiu Yurou nodded slightly, reached out and stretched out the earphone cable in her collar, and then handed it to Xu Ziran.

Xu Ziran noticed at this time that Qiu Yurou was not wearing gloves, and only covered most of her hands with long sleeves, revealing a frozen red fingertips, but even so, she could see the beauty at a glance, the fingertips were round, the nails were cut cleanly and there was no white edge, each one was perfectly oval, lined with pink flesh, like peach blossoms on branches in early spring.

Xu Ziran knew that Qiu Yurou's hands were beautiful, and many years later, Qiu Yurou performed finger scalpel in front of her, the silver-white scalpel and the fair-skinned and slender fingers, the thrilling and smooth movements simply formed a picture that could be called art, Xu Ziran was amazed at that time, and couldn't help but ask how to practice it.

Qiu Yurou glanced at Xu Ziran casually, flipped the tip of the knife with her fingertips, flipped it in her hand, and said with a smile: "There is no him, but his hands are familiar." ”

Xu Ziran asked again: "So have you ever injured your hand?" ”

Qiu Yurou handed out her hand to Xu Ziran, pointed to a small scar on her thumb and said, "I was only injured once, but I was cut by scissors when I was three or four years old." ”

Xu Ziran saw a white raised scar about two millimeters long, which seemed to be white and slightly flawed on a pair of perfectly slender hands, but it was harmless.

Such a beautiful pair of hands, now seeing that they are frozen like this, Xu Ziran can't help but feel a little pity, and for a while the present and the future are confused, so he shook it tightly with his gloved hand, felt the coldness through the fabric and said: "Why don't you wear gloves, how cold." ”

After finishing speaking, he froze with Qiu Yurou.

Qiu Yurou didn't expect Xu Ziran to do this, but Xu Ziran suddenly realized that she was getting carried away.

This is not Qiu Yurou ten years later, the two appreciate each other and support each other, talking about the past and the present and imagining the future.

This is fifteen-year-old Qiu Yurou, whose face is so thin that Xu Ziran feels a headache.

She let go of her hand and looked at Qiu Yurou, Qiu Yurou looked at Xu Ziran with a red face, and after being stunned for a long time, she didn't say anything, but stuffed the earphones into Xu Ziran's ears with her own hands.

The coldness of the fingers came to the ears -- it was the BBC English news.
