When he went to school the next day, Jiang Yan's eyes were a little blue, and Shen Xi's eyes were a little red.

Shen Xi twisted and gave the chocolate back to Lin Shan, and said in a low voice, "Jiang is angry." ”

Lin Shan glanced at Shen Xi and asked, "Why are you angry?" ”

Shen Xi snorted: "Anyway, I'm angry, probably because I hate me." You call me a fool......"

Lin Shan showed a look of loss on her face, pinched Shen Xi's sleeve, and said, "Didn't you two grow up together?" Why do they hate you? ”

Shen Xi pursed his lower lips: "Probably because it's really stupid...... Shanshan, I don't think you should send it yourself...... After all, Jiang Yan didn't say anything about you, scolding me......"

Lin Shan smiled slightly, quite satisfied with this answer, but she quickly suppressed her smile, patted Shen Xi's shoulder with a little sympathy, and said, "I'm sorry Xiaoxi, it's all my fault, I know that your relationship is not so good now, and I asked you to help me send things......"

Shen Xi pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled reluctantly: "I didn't expect Xiao Jiang to hate me so much." ”

"Xiaoxi, you're so nice." Lin Shan took the chocolate, smiled at Shen Xi, and immediately disappeared without a trace.

Shen Xi looked at his watch, it was already school time, it was estimated that Lin Shan was going to find Jiang Yan, so he hung his head and didn't speak.

Summer is the hot and dry season, and the cicadas are on the trees, so they call for a long time.

At lunch that day, Shen Xi ate absent-mindedly in the cafeteria, and his mind was full of other people's plots.

In the end, I bought two pieces of bread and walked into the classroom, but met Lin Shan at the entrance of the corridor.

The light blue summer school uniform and the light beige corridor floor tiles all lined Lin Shan's face more and more pale, and there were a few teardrops rolling in her eyes, seeing Shen Xi, she finally bit her lip, and tears fell: "Shen Xi, is it fun for you to play others like this?" ”

"Huh?" Shen Xi was stunned for a moment, and said, "Shanshan, what are you talking about?" ”

Lin Shan glared at her and said, "Do you think it's funny to look at my joke like this?" Didn't I ask about the relationship between the two of you before? What can you say in vain. Why go around so many bends and go ...... And go to him and speak ill of me? ”

"No, no, no......" Shen Xi heard it in a fog, but although the last sentence was not named, she understood, where did she go to Jiang Yan to say bad things about Lin Shan.

Lin Shan didn't listen to her explanation, stomped her feet and left, not far away, Shen Xi saw Lin Shan lying on the table, talking to a few familiar girls, from time to time someone patted Lin Shan's shoulder, as if to comfort her, and some people cast sharp eyes at Shen Xi.

Shen Xi was startled, and ran to the study room where Jiang Yan always liked to stay during his lunch break to find him, it was almost class, he was the only one in the study room, he was not reading, his hands were on the table, as if he was waiting for someone, seeing Shen Xi coming, his handsome eyebrows unconsciously raised slightly, and glanced at Shen Xi lazily.

The clouds are light and the wind is light, as if nothing has happened.

"Jiang Yan, what did you say to Lin Shan?" Running too fast, Shen Xi's face was still red, and a little bead of sweat had already appeared on the tip of his nose.

Jiang Yan glanced at Shen Xi and said, "What does it have to do with you?" ”

His voice was a few points lower than usual, and it seemed to have a faint anger.

Shen Xi walked up to Jiang Yan, leaned on the table and asked Jiang Yan, like a cannon: "Are you talking about something again?" Why are you so old? Sansa is a very nice person......"

Jiang Yan's eyes suddenly sharpened, and suddenly, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his lips: "Shen Xi, am I happy to accept you?" Am I no longer even entitled to reject others? I like the person you like, and I want to like it? ”

Shen Xi was stunned.

If Jiang Yan really accepted it, would she be happy? Fourteen or fifteen years old, in fact, I don't know what it means to accept, what it means to reject it, and what it means to be together.

She probably only vaguely knew that if Jiang Yan and Shanshan were together, then the two of them would go to school and leave school together, study together on weekdays, and play together on weekends, would she really be happy?

Since she wouldn't be happy, Jiang Yan didn't seem to have done anything wrong, she came to Xingshi so angrily to ask what the crime was for.

"Will you be happy?" Jiang Yan asked again in a cold tone.

Shen Xi felt that he was surrounded by him, and he couldn't answer a reason for a while, so he had to look at Jiang Yan with a pair of watery eyes, the sun was in full bloom, his black eyes were shining like gems, but he stared at her motionlessly.

On a summer afternoon in Jiangcheng, it was unusually hot and sultry, and there was a faint ambiguous atmosphere flowing in the air, Shen Xi lowered his head, and only hesitated for a while to say, "Shanshan cried a lot just now...... I'm not saying you can't say no, but I think you have to think about it when you speak...... Someone else's feelings...... Sansa is a good friend of mine......"

Jiang Yan's gaze became darker and darker, staring at Shen Xi deeply, suddenly, the corners of his lips hooked, and he smiled softly: "Shen Xi, you have been talking about other people's feelings, do you know, you have been living in your own world, thinking about whether your own friends are happy or not, when do you take care of it...... How do you feel about someone else? ”

Jiang Yan bites the word "others" very hard, he sometimes just can't understand, what's so terrible about not having friends. Isn't it okay for Shen Xi to have his "friend", why is it okay to drill into the crowd.

"Little ...... Xiao Jiang ......" Shen Xi stammered and couldn't say a word, she really didn't understand why Jiang Yan reacted this way, she only felt that Jiang Yan hated her even more, if she was a child, she would definitely open her mouth and "Brother Xiao Jiang, don't hate me, don't be angry", but at this age of being a little sensible, some words are no longer so convenient to speak. "I was wrong, I know you hate me and shouldn't ......"

Jiang Yan glanced at her, exhaled weakly, and strode away.

Shen Xi whispered to the wall alone, "It shouldn't be...... Take care of this kind of thing. Shanshan is very beautiful, good at studying, and bold, in fact, I envy Shanshan's ...... Don't hate Sansa just because you hate me. Although, I thought about it, I might be sad if you accepted Sansan, but I don't know why I'm sad. You say you hate me, I'm sad, I'm sad that you reject Shanshan like this now, but if you accept Shanshan, I may be even more sad, but this is ...... Why? ”

Shen Xi shuddered and finished the rest of the words, and the more he spoke, the more confused he became, but when he looked up, the young man was no longer there, only the white curtains blown by the wind, fluttering in the empty classroom.

That day, Shen Xi, who has always been very well-behaved, skipped class for the first time, she lay in the study room for an afternoon, drew three villains on white paper, and the more she painted, the more sad she became, until her palms were so wet that she couldn't draw anymore.

Jiang Yan kept flipping through and closing books, and the sound of cicadas outside the window gradually sounded, and his heart became more and more anxious.

Lin Shan looked at Jiang Yan, who had been staring at Shen Xi's seat, and finally determined what he had just guessed from his anxious gaze, and cried out uncontrollably, the young head teacher stood on the stage and knocked it with a ruler.

This is a picture that almost everyone has had in their youth, but nothing will help.

===

2016.

"Ah, Xiao Jiang...... Actually, I was jealous. Shen Xi spoke in a daze.

There are some things that she didn't understand back then, but when she looks back on it when she grows up, it seems that she understands it slowly, even if she only remembers the depression of the cicada's song.

"What?" It was late at night, Bai Ziyuan was also thinking about his own thoughts, the two of them had been quiet for a long time, and Shen Xi suddenly started, he was a little surprised.

"Like, I'm a fool." Shen Xi tapped his forehead with his fingers and smiled a little helplessly.

After all, he was a stranger, and Shen Xi didn't want to talk too much about himself with Bai Ziyuan, so he closed his eyes and began to pretend to sleep.

Bai Ziyuan shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything more.

When Shen Xi's plane arrived in Jiangcheng, it was already more than ten hours later, and the long rain silk connected the sky and the earth together.

Shen Xi didn't tell his family about his itinerary, so naturally no one came to pick him up. The journey was tired, and it was dark outside, so Shen Xi found a café in the airport and sat down.

It was a comic café with rows of bookshelves with all kinds of girl's comics, and Shen Xi smiled when he saw a familiar title.

It's a manga from many years ago.

===

After that day, Shen Xi went home alone.

Lin Shan and the group of girls who had been with her before suddenly ignored Shen Xi, and Jiang Yan didn't talk to her. Shen Xi rides his pink bicycle between comic shops, schools and homes every day.

What Shen Xi thought was that after she went to the comic shop and went home, it would not be so easy to meet Jiang Yan.

But that day, I still encountered it, I don't know if it was because of a rainstorm, Jiang Yan also came to the comic shop to hide from the rain, his black hair was wet, sticking to his forehead, and small droplets of water slowly rolled down his cheeks. He sat next to Shen Xi and didn't say a word.

Shen Xi hesitated and handed a pack of tissues to Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan was looking at the sparse rain outside the window, and didn't seem to notice the tissue, so Shen Xi had no choice but to pull his sleeve and shouted, "Little ...... Jiang Yan...... Classmates ...... "Strange and polite like a stranger."

Jiang Yan?

Jiang Yan frowned, took the tissue, wiped his face, and glanced at the dozen or so girl's comics piled up in front of Shen Xi, the name was so cold that he suddenly had goosebumps - "Naughty Little Kiss", under the comics, it was a math paper - 36 points. said in a dumb voice: "I read this kind of book all day long, no wonder I can't get into such a ...... exam"

Shen Xi hurriedly pressed the score of the paper with his hand, and without Jiang Yan's tutoring, he did a mess in the monthly math exam last month.

The rain was dripping, Jiang Yan looked at her embarrassed and embarrassed appearance, and the annoyance in the past two months slowly subsided, and said leisurely: "How can you be admitted to our school's high school like this." ”

As the best school in Jiangcheng, Foreign Chinese Middle School is not so easy to get into, even for students from this school.

Shen Xi put away the comics, glanced at Jiang Yan, and said, "I don't have to be admitted to this school, No. 1 Middle School is not bad, and Chenguang's private school uniform is still very good-looking......"

Jiang Yan said: "I want to study in our school. ”

"yes, I know, you escorted it." The top thirty students in the grade can go straight to the middle school, and Jiang Yan, who is the first in the perennial year, is escorted, which is really a normal thing. Shen Xi, who is two hundred students away, belongs to the students who have to work hard to take the entrance examination, but she is still reading girl's comics.

Jiang Yan suddenly sulked a little, grabbed the math paper that was pressed under the comic by Shen Xi and looked at it, pointed to the last big question, and said, "Didn't I tell you about this at the beginning of the school year?" ”

Shen Xi was also a little angry, she felt that Jiang Yan really didn't change his poisonous tongue for ten thousand years, and he didn't open any pot.

The dark and dreary sky outside the window seemed to have exploded a hole, and the rain was pouring down, Shen Xi glanced at Jiang Yan and rushed out.

Woo woo, Xiao Jiang is really getting more and more annoying.

Jiang Yan grabbed Shen Xi's math papers, a little confused, for a whole month, he was hanging around outside the comic book bookstore that Shen Xi loved to go to, but that fool read the comics and watched attentively, and he didn't even say hello.

Today, he finally met a day when he had a reason to come in, but Shen Xi ran away again.

Puffing out his face and pouting, are he angry again?

After all, it was a boy, Jiang Yan rode a bicycle, and soon caught up with Shen Xi, Shen Xi turned his head to look at him, and rode forward again, only three steps later, Jiang Yan chased again, Shen Xi rode forward again, Jiang Yan chased again, and soon arrived at the door of Shen Xi's house,

Shen Xi stopped the car, pouted in the direction of Jiang Yan's house, and said, "Oh, your house is over there." ”

Even Jiang Yan didn't say anything, only shouted "you", this temperament is really big.

Jiang Yan coughed lightly, grabbed Shen Xi's wet math paper, and said, "The teacher asked me to visit your house." ”

Shen Xi was stunned at first, then shy, and finally looked at Jiang Yan in embarrassment, and smiled stupidly.

Min Rou opened the gate when she heard the voice, and saw the two children standing in the courtyard wearing raincoats, she was taken aback and asked, "Ah, Xiaojiang, you are also there, such a heavy rain, come in quickly." ”

Shen Xi secretly waved his hand at Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan didn't move.

Min Rou asked, "Xiao Jiang, is there something wrong?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, Brother Xiao Jiang is just coming back with me on the way." Shen Xi winked at Jiang Yan and blinked hard.

"Brother Xiao Jiang", what a long-lost title. Jiang Yan smiled faintly, folded the roll and put it behind his back, and said to Min Rou: "It's nothing, I'm sorry, Auntie, I was thinking about things just now." ”

Shen Xi breathed a sigh of relief and followed Min Rou into the house, remembering that important evidence had been left in Jiang Yan's hands.

When the rain was lighter at night, Shen Xi ran to find Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan was lying on the bed looking at Shen Xi's scroll, it was really useless except for the beautiful handwriting, Shen Xi was not very good at mathematics before, but it was not so bad, this scroll ...... It's more like doing it in a completely distracted state, the first few fill-in-the-blank questions are filled in 0, and the last plane geometry problem is even more messy.

Jiang Yan sighed, put the scroll next to the lamp, the warm yellow light happened to be printed on a fold, he took a closer look, and found that there were traces of pencil being painted seven or eight strokes, and rubbing with an eraser.

Obviously, someone is trying to cover it up.

Jiang Yan lifted the scroll and looked at it at the light, and the warm light reflected two clear words

- "Xiao Jiang".
