The next day, Chen Xun lined up in front of the window of the cafeteria at noon, he moved forward with the crowd, and at a glance, he saw Ning Chaoxi standing in the line next door, she was lowering her head, staring at the ground, not knowing what she was thinking, the person in front of her moved forward two or three vacant seats, and she didn't follow, until the round-faced girl standing behind her patted her on the shoulder, and she didn't come back to her senses.

"Chaoxi, what are you going to do at noon today?" Feng Lulu behind her stepped forward and looked forward, "Are there any braised pork ribs?" ”

Ning Chaoxi stared at the ground in a daze, and when he heard the sound, he came back to his senses and let out an 'ah'.

"What are you thinking?" Feng Lulu looked at her stunned expression, and asked hesitantly, "Did your mother go back to scold you yesterday?" ”

After a while, Chen Xun heard her say, "No." ”

Ning Chaoxi passed by Chen Xun's side after finishing the meal, he glanced down and saw that there was only a small plate of green vegetables on her plate, and he frowned slightly.

Chen Xun's line was two or three people slower than hers, and after Ning Chaoxi left, it was his turn, after finishing the meal, he was looking for a place with a dinner plate, and saw Ning Chaoxi being pulled by her classmates to sit by the window, Chen Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, and quietly sat down on the empty seat between the two tables behind them.

Ning Chaoxi turned her back to him, not knowing that there was a pair of eyes behind her who were watching her, she lowered her head and picked up vegetables with chopsticks, Jiang Ke, who was sitting opposite, asked her why she ate so little, Ning Chaoxi told her that she had no appetite and couldn't eat.

Yesterday, Ning's mother was angry at her, and after saying those words, she never spoke to her again, but Ning's father has been comforting her after knowing her results, in fact, Ning Chaoxi also knows that the failure of the monthly exam this time does not mean anything, but what Ning's mother said is too hurtful.

Alas, she was a little suspicious of life.

There were two empty tables between Chen Xun and Ning Chaoxi, there was no one opposite him, and he could clearly see the slender figure, but it didn't take long for two people to come, Lin Yun and Xie Xiaowen at the same table were looking for a place with a dinner plate, and the sharp-eyed Xie Xiaowen saw Chen Xun sitting by the window at once, and touched the people around him with his elbow: "Hey, Lin Yun, the handsome guy Chen is over there, should we go over?" ”

Lin Yun saw that there were still three empty seats at the table where Chen Xun was sitting, hesitated for a moment, and gradually blushed under Xie Xiaowen's playful gaze, and walked over.

Chen Xun was looking up at the back of the person in front of him, and a girl suddenly appeared in his sight to cut off his gaze, Lin Yun bent down and put the dinner plate on the table, and asked him with a shy face: "Chen Xun, what a coincidence, is there anyone in this position?" ”

Chen Xun retracted his gaze and shook his head lightly.

"Shall we sit here, then?" Lin Yun continued to ask.

Chen Xun did not reply.

Xie Xiaowen glanced at Lin Yun and automatically sat down beside Chen Xun.

Chen Xun bowed his head to eat in silence, and Lin Yun, who was sitting opposite him, looked up at him from time to time, and plucked up the courage to speak under Xie Xiaowen's implicit encouraging gaze: "That, Chen Xun, you have quite high scores in mathematics and science comprehensive exams this time, can you lend me your test papers when you go back?" There are a few questions I don't understand. ”

After being silent for a long time, Chen Xun said, "The teacher will talk about it in the next class." The implication is that there is no need to borrow his test papers to read.

I didn't think that he would refuse directly, Lin Yun laughed awkwardly: "That's right, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to keep up with the progress when you transferred from your hometown, but I didn't expect you to do better than most people in our class." ”

Chen Xun let out a 'hmm' sound.

Seeing that his reaction was so cold, Lin Yun didn't know what topic to continue for a while, so he was embarrassed for a while before he lowered his head to eat.

Xie Xiaowen talked to Chen Xun quite familiarly: "Chen Xun, do you like to eat vegetarian dishes?" I see why you ordered two dishes that were all greens, don't you like to eat meat? I thought you boys liked meat, but you're pretty different. ”

Chen Xun didn't speak, because he caught a glimpse of Ning Chaoxi standing up from his position.

Feng Lulu and Jiang Ke watched in surprise as Ning Chaoxi stood up with the meal that had not yet eaten a few bites, Feng Lulu was stunned and said, "Ning Chaoxi, aren't you eating?" ”

Ning Chaoxi shook his head: "I can't eat it, you eat slowly, I'll go first." ”

"Morning and night, don't you eat so little and aren't hungry in the afternoon?" Jiang Ke worried.

Ning Chaoxi still shook his head: "I'll talk about it when I'm hungry." ”

After she left, Jiang Ke said to Feng Lulu beside her: "This monthly exam is not a small blow to the day and night. ”

Feng Lulu looked back behind her, and after making sure that Ning Chaoxi was far away, she lowered her voice and said to Jiang Ke: "Of course, after the parent-teacher meeting yesterday, her mother stood at the top of the stairs and scolded her in public, saying that she didn't bring her brains to school, it was so ugly, several people in our class heard it, did you say that her mother was as for it, wasn't it just a small monthly exam, and there was no emotion at all, and we all felt embarrassed, let alone ourselves." ”

"Hey Chen Xun, are you leaving?" Xie Xiaowen saw the person next to her stand up, and hurriedly shouted.

Chen Xun didn't answer her, he left after packing up his schoolbag, Xie Xiaowen looked at his handsome and upright figure, and said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of coldness, if it weren't for the handsomeness of him, who would want to take care of him, he wouldn't give him any face, hum." ”

Lin Yun's face changed, and the corners of her lips stiffened slightly: "Xiaowen, don't say that, Chen Xun's personality is just a little boring." ”

"Tsk, you seem to know him very well." Xie Xiaowen said casually, "If you don't like to talk and pull down, such a person deserves to be isolated by the people in our class." ”

Chen Xun passed by the school commissary before leaving, he stopped at the door for a moment, and went in to buy a bag of bread and a bottle of pure milk.

It was a cloudy day, there was no direct sun at noon, and even the air was sullen, no wind, and no unbearable dryness of summer.

It's almost autumn.

Chen Xun carried bread and milk and passed by the school's newly built green alley last year, his steps paused slightly, he wanted to bypass this place, but after thinking about it, he still walked in.

On the bench of the gazebo sat a man, his knees slightly bent, his hands around his calves, his face buried in his knees, his shoulder-length black hair leaning forward with her movements, and occasionally a breeze blowing, and a few strands of her hair swayed slightly in the air.

Chen Xun raised his eyes and walked over, walked up the steps of the gazebo, sat down opposite her, and the bag of bread and milk he was carrying in his hand was also placed by his side.

Ning Chaoxi raised her head when she heard the movement, turned her head and saw the person sitting opposite, she was slightly stunned, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "The place you chose before is really good, quiet, no one, fresh air, suitable for thinking about life." ”

Chen Xun hooked his lips and smiled lightly.

Idle, he took out a sketchbook and pencil from his schoolbag, opened a blank page, chose an angle, and began to pick up the pen to compose. ”

Chen Xun raised her eyes to look at her, Ning Chaoxi lowered her head, her chin rested on her knees, her soft fingers were wrapping around her shoelaces, her eyes didn't know where to star, she continued: "My mother has been strict with me since I was a child, and she regards my test results as more important than anything else, let me continue to maintain them when my grades are good, and discipline me with a straight face when my grades are not good, often forcing me out of breath. ”

She paused, pursed her lips and smiled: "I told her, Mom, don't keep saying those ugly things to me, it's really hurtful." She said, laughed again, her shoulders trembled slightly, "But she didn't take my words to heart at all, and she will scold her next time she takes the exam, Chen Xun, let me tell you, fortunately, my willpower is firm enough, and my ability to resist pressure is okay, otherwise she said this, what if I can't think about it." ”

Chen Xun's hand froze, he twisted his eyebrows imperceptibly, his eyes fell on her face, he opened his lips and was interrupted by Ning Chaoxi just as he wanted to say something: "It's okay, you don't have to comfort me, let me tell you, I'm just depressed and ruthless, I just want to find someone to complain, how can a positive, optimistic and sunny person like me not think about it!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Xun smiled helplessly, and was still in the mood to joke, which meant that she had figured it out.

Ning Chaoxi slapped his palm, gritted his teeth hatefully, and said, "I must be admitted to a university far away from home in the future, so that I don't have to be controlled by my mother all the time." ”

Finally vented the depressed breath in her heart, Ning Chaoxi felt a lot more relaxed, she turned her head to look at Chen Xun, who was looking down and painting.

"Chen Xun, which university do you want to go to in the future?"

"Didn't think about it." He didn't look up.

"Then remember to tell me when you think about it, maybe we can go to the same university for a chance." Ning Chaoxi said with a smile.

She took out her mobile phone from her pocket, looked at the time, there was less than an hour before class, Ning Chaoxi said to him: "Chen Xun, I'm going back to the classroom, do you want to go together?" With that, she stood up and stretched, feeling a little sleepy, and now she still had time to go back to the classroom to let her take a nap.

"Don't move yet." Chen Xun didn't move, his slender hand was holding a pencil and outlining the lines, and his lowered eyebrows were serious and calm.

"Huh?" Ning Chaoxi looked at the movements in his hand and was slightly stunned: "You...... Drawing me? ”

"Hmm." Chen Xun responded.

Ning Chaoxi suddenly felt flattered, she opened her eyes, and said in surprise: "Ah...... I didn't even know you were drawing me, so what should I do? Do I have to do it again? ”

Chen Xun nodded.

Ning Chaoxi cooperated and sat back on the bench, thinking about what action he had just made, oh yes, his legs rested on the chair, his knees bent......

Chen Xun looked at her stiff movements and reminded loudly: "Arms around knees, head against the back of hands, well, face towards me." ”

"Oh." Ning Chaoxi made a move according to his instructions, "Is that so?" ”

Her movements were not very natural, Chen Xun put down the sketchbook in his hand, stood up and walked over, Ning Chaoxi saw him walking towards him, her heart suddenly felt a little nervous, her arms suddenly tensed, she blinked and didn't dare to move, and when she saw him walking up, she still had a stiff smile on her face.

Who knew that he didn't appreciate it, Chen Xun stared at the strange smile on her face, and was stunned: "Don't laugh like that." ”

"Oh." Ning Chaoxi put away his smile wryly.

"Relax, don't be so stiff." As he spoke, he helped her adjust her posture, his warm and dry palm took her arm and put it on his knee, the moment the skin touched, the whole person seemed to be electrified, Ning Chaoxi felt that there was a faint electric current flowing through the blood into the bottom of his heart, crispy and numb.

Sensing that her body was getting stiffer and stiffer, and I didn't know if it was because of nervousness, Chen Xun felt funny: "Be natural, just like you just did." ”

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes, his gaze inadvertently swept over Ning Chaoxi's face, and when he saw her flushed cheeks, Chen Xun was stunned.
