Chapter 62: The Past
"Hmm." Jia Xiaoliang touched his head, "Why don't we take a walk around the campus, and I'll tell you as we go." ”
Wang Xixi glanced back at the classroom, nodded, his performance was over, and there was nothing to be nostalgic about.
However, before she could take a few steps, she couldn't help but turn her head, and through the window, she saw that the person was standing in the middle of the classroom in a white down jacket, the microphone was held to his lips and he was talking about something, his spine was as straight as ever, and next to him was the slim Hu Meiyin.
Wang Xixi's palm clenched hard, and his nails were embedded in the flesh of his palm, but he couldn't feel the stinging pain. She turned around and caught up with Jia Xiaoliang.
"Sissy, in fact, I have known her since I was in elementary school, and I am two years older than her." Jia Xiaoliang's voice was faint, blending with the temperature of the winter night, his eyes were ethereal looking at a place in the darkness ahead, he was reminiscing, like an old man telling about his past years.
Wang Xixi's mouth opened wide in surprise, could it be that Jia Xiaoliang stayed in the grade?
"From the first grade to the second grade, I have always been a good student, going to and from class on time, never arriving late or leaving early, and always being first when it comes to exams." His eyes sparkled, "It's a good student like you." ”
Wang Xixi's face turned red, am I a good student, I have a young love, she knows that she hates being this kind of good student in her heart, she doesn't dare to do anything, she can't do anything, she wants to live a chic life.
"In my heart, I hate this kind of life, my life remains the same, life is like a glass of boiled water, bland and tasteless."
Did he think the same as hers when he was a child, Wang Xixi felt a little like finding a soulmate.
"Until she showed up, I remember it was the first day of third grade, and I was sitting in the window on the second floor, just like your current seat, just enough to see the whole campus.
She walked into the school timidly alone, carrying a schoolbag printed with Barbie dolls, looking like a character from a cartoon, and her thin figure drowned in the campus of Nuoda.
I stared at her through the window until I was called up by the homeroom math teacher to answer the questions, and the homeroom teacher was very angry, saying that I was pampered and arrogant, and said that I was backward because of pride, and that although I did well in the class, I was ranked as well in the city, and I swore that it was the first time that I felt annoyed by the homeroom teacher.
Later, I found out that the little girl was going to and from school alone every time, and every time she passed by the parents who picked up their children at the school gate as if no one was around, as if they never existed, and my mother was busy bringing me my school bag, but I only cared about watching her.
She was so lonely, so arrogant, the same as now.
I guess there's someone in her family, otherwise how could she be in an elementary school like that.
I found her in a dirty alley, and that afternoon just after school, my mother pulled me across the wide road, and we passed by a small alley, and I heard a childish voice shouting 'help' from inside, good student, you know, just to stay away from these things.
I accidentally glanced back when I was about to pass.
Xixi, do you know the way, how glad I was to look at it like that!
I saw the Barbie-like girl standing in the middle. She was surrounded by a group of male students whom I recognized as students who had just entered sixth grade at our school.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone through their cracks, and I couldn't open my eyes.
She desperately tried to escape from their encirclement, but the students seemed to be deliberately working against her.
I had a bad premonition, I took my mother's hand and shook it, and my mother turned her head to see this scene, she drove away the students, bent down and asked her, what is your name.
Hu Meiyin. Her voice was small.
What a beautiful name, I thought.
She didn't even say a word to Xie Luxie, and turned to leave. The small figure blended into the endless stream of the road.
What a strange little girl, Mom muttered. But she soon forgot about this little thing, and she had a lot of work to do.
The next day, I was afraid that she would be bullied again, so I lied to my mother that I was going to my classmate's house to do my homework, and then quietly followed behind her back.
I was stupid, I didn't even have the courage to say hello to her, so I followed so stupidly. Follow her all the way to her door.
Come in, follow all the way, aren't you tired? She suddenly turned around and looked behind me at a dazed voice.
I followed her into her house in a daze.
There seems to be no one in her house, no father, no mother. She was alone.
I can't ask your mom and dad about that.
She poured me a glass of water.
Say to me like an adult, I thank your mother for saving me yesterday, that's why I invited you in.
Why are you following me? She finally asked the question.
I lowered my head, my cheeks began to get hot, and as soon as my brain was hot, I told the truth, I am afraid that you will meet those bad students alone.
She smiled softly, those students, you won't see them in the school anymore.
I was amazed, and it took me a long time to figure out what she meant.
I sat at her house for ten minutes, and she never asked my name. Jia Xiaoliang chuckled and shook his big head.
Wang Xixi was just silent, as if listening to a story.
"Ridiculous. I watched her do her homework for 10 minutes, her head bowed and her back straight.
Rumors began to spread in the school that she had a powerful grandfather, and anyone who provoked her would be sent away by the school. Coupled with her cold personality, everyone began to avoid her.
I suddenly thought of the sixth-grade students, as if I hadn't seen them at school again.
I'm starting to dislike myself for being ugly, and I'm so fat, it's really annoying, I never cared about this before, I thought I just studied hard, but now I can't.
My academic performance began to plummet, and the head teacher began to educate me, look at what I said, don't be pampered and arrogant, pride makes people lag behind, you don't listen, and let everyone take me as an example.
I was really crazy, and I enjoyed this feeling of depravity, and every day I longed to see her pass by the door of the school, and I would arrive early in the morning just to see her walk through the school gate.
Later, of course, I couldn't get into a good middle school, so I repeated a grade for a year. ”
When Jia Xiaoliang talks about repeating grades, he doesn't seem to be sad, but happy and happy.
"Do you think I'm in early love?" After talking for so long, he finally looked back at Wang Xixi, who was silent beside him, and his eyes were still full of smiles.
"It wasn't at that time, but now—" Wang Xixi paused, "it's hard to say. ”
