Chapter 57: Drifting Away

Because Grandpa Deng's health is deteriorating, Deng Yinan has to go to his grandparents' house every day to accompany him.

And Chen Xiaoyu also wanted to visit the old man more.

After all, she was the first person to teach her when she came into this world

She thought that even if Chen Xiaoyu had thoughts and insights from his previous life, he couldn't match the wisdom and sharpness of the old man who had been honed over time.

As the final exams approached, the campus became quieter, the basketball hoops were almost empty, and even the normally bustling playground became deserted.

Chen Xiaoyu, like all her classmates, is busy with the final review every day, but she has one more thing than others, that is, she goes to her grandmother's house after school, visits Grandpa Deng, accompanies her grandparents to have a meal, and then returns to her home to do her homework.

Grandma's house is two stops away from her own house, not far away, always embarrassing, waiting for the bus, waiting for more than half an hour to come, and walking for half an hour.

Xiaoyu always walked and walked back, and the time to go home to review was delayed a lot, and she stayed up late at night, her face was pale, and there were always two dark circles under her eyes.

One day after lunch, Deng Yinan went to the junior high school to find Chen Xiaoyu and told her to ride a bicycle to school by herself, "In the future, you will walk with me after school, so that it will be faster, and it will save more than ten minutes than you walking." ”

Chen Xiaoyu thought about it, nodded and agreed, and he could memorize a text in ten minutes.

Deng Yinan saw that she agreed, and smiled gently.

Standing in the hallway of the junior high school building, behind him was a winter hazy sky, the north wind hissing and the bare branches swaying in the cold wind.

He was wearing a coffee-colored down jacket and was particularly handsome.

"Brother Yinan, thank you." Chen Xiaoyu lowered her head and said sincerely.

Thinking of what Grandpa Deng had said to her, there was a bit of shame on her face.

Looking at the quiet girl in front of her and her clear eyes, Deng Yinan was stunned, and after a while, she slowly shook her head, "It's okay, it's along the way anyway." ”

After speaking, he put his hand in his trouser pocket, walked slowly, and met Xiaoyu and their homeroom teacher, Teacher Zeng, at the staircase, Deng Yinan greeted Teacher Zeng very naturally and politely.

Teacher Zeng responded with an "oh oh", and then watched him leave in a daze.

She also knew that Deng Yinan was here to find Chen Xiaoyu, and it was said that she needed to intervene, but in the face of this natural and generous boy, Teacher Zeng just couldn't say a "no".

In private, she even thought that these two children were quite a good match together.

At the beginning, Deng Yinan went to the teaching building of the junior high school, and the girls in the entire building would poke their heads out to see the excitement, but now he has come more often, and everyone knows that he is here to find Chen Xiaoyu, and they are not surprised.

There was only a group of naughty boys, and when they saw Deng Yinan stepping into the junior high school building, they would make strange noises and shout in unison, "Chen Xiaoyu, Chen Xiaoyu." Chen Xiaoyu. ”

At this moment, their cries could be heard throughout the building.

Chen Xiaoyu's response is to ignore it and let it go, just like no one else.

She went back to the classroom to do her homework.

"Look at the pretty girl on the other side, look at the pretty girl in front of her, the slender figure is delicate, the long hair is black and shiny, and she walks and sways and sways, la......" The leather students sang loudly, and a classic song was sung by them.

Until Mr. Zeng shouted in the corridor, "Whatever you sing, give me a nap." ”

These people dispersed like birds and beasts.

After a while, Chen Xiaoyu saw Lu Chongqing slowly coming from the aisle from the window, slipped in through the back door, and sat straight at the table, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.

He didn't look at Chen Xiaoyu, and pushed Luo Xinfang in the front row, "Copy your physics homework for me." ”

Luo Xinfang turned her head and glared at him in surprise, "I haven't finished writing yet, hey, Lu Chongqing, haven't you been copying homework for a long time?" ”

Lu Chongqing has not copied homework for a while, and when he encounters a topic that he can't know, Chen Xiaoyu will patiently explain it to him.

Lu Chongqing's smart Cheng dΓΉ and Deng Yinan have a fight, all the topics, as long as Chen Xiaoyu talks about it once, he can understand, but he is impatient, often half of the listening, impatient, but the homework is not copied.

Now that he has begun to relapse into his old ways, not to mention that Luo Xinfang was surprised, Chen Xiaoyu was also a little surprised.

"Lu Chongqing, my physics homework is done, if you don't, I'll tell you......" she said, although Chen Xiaoyu has been more or less far away from Lu Chongqing since the "ice rink", but she still helps him with homework.

"Lao Tzu just loves to copy Luo Xinfang, what's your business." Lu Chongqing glanced at her coldly, and said lazily, "Luo Xinfang, you write quickly." I'll copy it when I'm done. Lao Tzu will sleep for a while. With that, he lay down on the table, buried his head, and closed his eyes.

Chen Xiaoyu was taken aback, plus Luo Xinfang kept looking at them, with a look of schadenfreude on her face, afraid that the world would not be chaotic, Chen Xiaoyu's heart was angry, her face was pressed, and she said coldly, "The dog bites Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people." ”

After saying that, he lowered his head and continued his work.

Lu Chongqing closed his eyes and pretended not to hear, but his chest seemed to have been hit by something, cold and painful.

Teacher Zeng entered the classroom, looked at Chen Xiaoyu, who was bowing her head on the seat to catch up with her homework, frowned, but still walked in front of her, knocked on her desk, and asked her to talk alone outside the classroom.

"Chen Xiaoyu, it's going to be a final exam recently, you have to concentrate on reviewing, the teacher has great expectations for you, don't be distracted by other things, you know?"

She said vaguely, Chen Xiaoyu lowered her head and listened to her teachings obediently and meekly.

Although you are all good at studying, and you are also very good, but the school clearly stipulates that you can't fall in love, Teacher Zeng wondered if he should say this sentence, only to hear Chen Xiaoyu whisper, "Teacher Zeng, Brother Yinan's grandfather is my calligraphy teacher, he has stomach cancer, and he is dying recently......"

Teacher Zeng was taken aback, and the words in his mouth choked there and did not speak.

Chen Xiaoyu's calligraphy level is good, and he has also won awards in the school calligraphy competition, of course Mr. Zeng knows that Chen Xiaoyu's calligraphy must be tempting to be instructed.

Hearing her say this, Teacher Zeng had nothing to say, and after a few more words, he put his mind at ease.

At the end of school in the afternoon, small snowflakes fell from the sky. It's like fine salt falling into the air.

Chen Xiaoyu went to wait for Deng Yinan outside the bicycle shed in the high school, she was still holding a history textbook in her hand, fine snowflakes fell on her hair, and on her long eyelashes, they changed into crystal droplets, lining her eyes wet and black.

Deng Yinan pushed a 28-style "permanent" brand bicycle, dusted the snowflakes on the seat, and smiled at Chen Xiaoyu.

Then he straddled it, waited for Chen Xiaoyu to sit firmly, and then rode steadily.

"What year was the founding of the Ming Dynasty?" Deng Yinan suddenly asked, "Don't read books." ”

"In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, was proclaimed emperor in Nanjing Yingtianfu, and the country name was Daming." Chen Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Deng Yinan was helping her review. "Please give us a brief description of the rule of Hongwu."

"The rule of Hongwu, also known as the prosperity of Hongwu, is the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and is one of the three prosperous times in the early Ming Dynasty."

Chen Xiaoyu closed the book, sat on the back seat of the bicycle, and answered the questions sentence by sentence.

The bicycle turned around the school building of the high school, which was the playground of the junior high school, and it was late in the twilight, and it was snowing lightly, and it was deserted.

The sound of "clang, clang, clang" came from the empty playground, which was particularly monotonous.

Chen Xiaoyu turned his face to look, under the basketball hoop, a familiar figure was dribbling alone, saw them riding by, paused, and then made a long shot, the basketball smashed the rebound, clang, and fell to the basket.

"What year is the Jianwen reform?" Deng Yinan asked again.

Chen Xiaoyu woke up like a dream, "Ah, what are you asking?" ”

"What I'm asking is what year did the Jianwen restructuring start? You won't, will you? ”

"You won't, I didn't hear ...... just now"

Deng Yinan rode very fast, and left the school gate in a blink of an eye, Chen Xiaoyu turned his face to look at the playground, and through the snowflakes, the figure became more and more blurred.
