"I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now that I think about it, it feels like since I knew about it, Xu Ying's attitude towards me has vaguely changed in the past half a month."

"But what exactly has changed, and I can't say it, if I have to say it, Xu Ying seems to have taken the initiative to approach me a little bit in the past half a month......

"She took the initiative to chat with me, took the initiative to ask me questions, and even sometimes took the initiative to care about me, willing to listen to my troubles, and she seemed to be a lot more enthusiastic about me, and occasionally made some jokes that crossed the line."

"In retrospect, it seems...... This is beyond the scope of ordinary friends, a bit ambiguous......"

"Do you want to be enthusiastic about me becoming enthusiastic...... Xu Ying is actually still interesting to me? ”

Thinking of this, Duan Zilian was shocked, and couldn't help but glance at Xu Ying's back a few more times, and then shifted his gaze weakly, lowered his eyes, and continued to think about things.

"It shouldn't be possible...... If Xu Ying is really interested in me, she won't have shown it for so long, is she so good at disguise? ”

"But if not, what about her change of attitude towards me?"

"If she really likes me and confesses to me again, I can only refuse her in order to avoid being drawn into danger......"

"But now there is only half a month left before the college entrance examination, if she really likes me and confesses before the college entrance examination, but I rejected her, in case she is sad and sad, it affects the college entrance examination review and college entrance examination performance, which is not good......"

"It's so annoying, I feel so entangled in thinking about these questions."

"Forget it, don't care so much for now, maybe I'm thinking too much, let's do it first, I hope I can maintain the status quo, it's actually good to be in this state now, if I make any more extraneous branches, it will be difficult for me to do it."

The more I thought about it, the more chaotic it became, and the joke simply let myself not think about it so much, hoping that it was just my own self-inflicted sentimentality.

It's already class time, but the teacher still hasn't come to the classroom, and gradually, the students who were studying quietly can't hold back their commotion, but whisper and chat with the people next to them, especially those who don't like to study.

So, a small riot began in the class.

The lesson lasted for almost ten minutes before the math teacher was late.

As soon as the teacher entered the door, the students who were still whispering immediately closed their mouths and pretended to be serious about studying, and the whole classroom immediately fell silent.

Entering the classroom, the math teacher couldn't help but apologize: "Students, I'm sorry, I had an upset stomach just now and had to go to the toilet, so it's too late." In this case, you can write your own exercises and do the questions, and if you have any questions, you can raise your hand or come to the podium and ask me. ”

After that, the math teacher sat on the podium to supervise the students' learning, or went down to walk around to inspect the students' learning to prevent anyone from paddling and fishing.

Under the supervision of the teacher, most of them are seriously doing exercises and brushing questions, and the small number of people who don't like to study have to pretend to study seriously and don't make any mistakes.

Soon, the morning session ended.

Packing up his things, Duan Zilian rode his bicycle home.

On the way, though,

He thought that he didn't seem to have visited his mother Zhong Yi in the hospital for several days, so he took out his mobile phone and clicked on the chat interface with Luo Xinyan.

"Duan Zilian: Xinyan, I'm not going back at noon, I'm going to the hospital to see my mother."

When you're done, click Send.

After waiting for a few minutes, he received a message from Luo Xinyan, which was just a simple "oh" word.

Shrugging casually, Duan Zilian put away her phone, changed directions, and rode her bicycle to the hospital.

After a while, he came to the hospital with ease, came to his mother's ward, looked at Zhong Yi lying on the hospital bed, and couldn't help but sigh.

It's been so long, Zhong Yi's condition is still the same, she has been lying on the hospital bed, there is no sign of waking up at all, Duan Zilian doesn't know when she will wake up, the worst case is that she may not wake up for the rest of her life.

Fortunately, although Zhong Yi has been lying on the hospital bed and is unconscious, the nurses in the hospital have taken very good care of her, so the money that Duan Zilian pays for coming to the hospital every month is not spent in vain.

Seeing that her mother is always asleep, to be honest, Duan Zilian sometimes really envy her, she doesn't have to worry about anything, she has no worries, and someone to take care of her, she just needs to sleep all the time.

But from another point of view, just sleeping so deeply is, in a sense, no different from death......

Although it is not the first time, every time I come to visit Zhong Yi in the hospital, Duan Zipian has mixed feelings in his heart, which is very uncomfortable, and he still can't get used to the loneliness that his relatives can't accompany him.

Just sitting in the ward, looking at his mother on the hospital bed, Duan Zilian was thinking about all kinds of messy things uncontrollably, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he walked out of the ward and left the hospital full of the smell of medicine and disinfectant water.

After not eating at noon, Duan Zilian casually went to a noodle restaurant near the hospital to eat a bowl of noodles to fill her stomach, and then rode her bicycle to school.

In the blink of an eye, the time of noon passed like this.

……

In the afternoon, when it was time to go home from school, Duan Zilian rode his bicycle home.

However, because today is Friday, there is Xu Ying who went back together, she sat on the back seat of the bicycle, looking at the scenery around her idlely, and chatting with Duan Zilian.

On the way home, they stopped by the supermarket and went to the supermarket to buy tonight's dishes.

Carrying the ingredients, coming out of the supermarket, Duan Zilian stood next to the bicycle, looked at the cold drink shop next to the supermarket, and suddenly wanted to eat ice cream on a whim.

So, he pointed to the cold drink shop, and said to Xu Ying: "I suddenly want to eat ice cream, do you want it too?" ”

"Hmm...... Eat a little. After thinking about it for a while, Xu Ying nodded and agreed.

"Let's go, then." Hanging the dish on the grip of the bicycle, he and Xu Ying went to the cold drink shop and bought an ice cream each.

Because he was holding ice cream in his hand and it was inconvenient to ride a bicycle, Duan Zilian and Xu Ying stood on the side of the road, ate the ice cream first, and then rode back.

"If only life could go on like this." Looking at the crowds and vehicles coming and going on the road, Xu Ying couldn't help but sigh and looked at Duan Zilian beside her.

"Hmm

If only life could be as peaceful as it is now. The joke replied with pity and agreed, but in the next second, his voice changed.

"But beneath this calm surface lies a lot of danger, and it is not known when true peace will return to life."

Definitely can......

Xu Ying wanted to say such things, but after thinking about it, if she wanted to restore peace, Duan Zilian could only keep fighting, but she was unwilling to let Duan Zilian go through that hard battle.

Therefore, she did not know how to reply.

At this time, Duan Zilian continued: "In order to restore peace, I can only keep fighting, but when will this battle end?" I'm afraid I won't make it that ......."

Hearing this, Xu Ying felt a pain in her heart, and she was very sympathetic to Duan Zilian's experience, her heart was filled with sadness, and she couldn't help but comfort Duan Zilian.

"Pity, it's okay, I'm sure you can do it, and besides, just do your best, there's really no need to work so hard."

Looking at Xu Ying, Duan Zilian lowered his eyes and said softly: "Xu Ying, can you stop looking at me with this sympathetic gaze?" I don't want to see your sympathetic eyes anymore, and I don't need sympathy, I really don't, you make me feel like I'm pitiful......"

"Perhaps in your opinion, I am carrying a burden unimaginable to ordinary people, and such a situation is very worthy of sympathy."

"But, that's what I thought...... In the beginning, I also felt that I had suffered a misfortune and did not want to take such responsibility. ”

"Maybe I'm used to it, or I understand the meaning of this light, or maybe it's because of Li Shuning and Zheng Yulong's trust and entrustment, in short, I changed my mind."

"I now feel like I'm the only one who can do it, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do, and it's still a very meaningful thing."

"So, I don't feel like I need sympathy."

"I'm sorry......" Xu Ying nodded with a heavy heart, but listening to Duan Zilian's words, she was even more sad.

As a last resort, she could only lower her head and didn't dare to look up at Duan Zilian, for fear that the grief and sympathy in her eyes would be revealed, and then she would be seen by Duan Zilian.

Duan Zilian didn't want a sympathetic gaze, so Xu Ying didn't want Duan Zilian to see the unconcealed sympathy in her eyes.

For a while, both of them were silent, and the atmosphere became solemn.

Eating the ice cream in his hand, Duan Zilian looked at the sky and the crowded scene to ease his mood.

The same goes for Xu Ying.

After a while, almost adjusting her mood, Xu Ying thought about it and chatted about some light-hearted topics.

"Forget it, let's not talk about such heavy topics...... By the way, mercy, if you don't have that power, just as an ordinary person, then what do you want your future to be? ”

Duan Zilian thought for a while: "If I were just an ordinary person, my parents would be by my side, and I would also follow my mother to learn piano, study hard, get admitted to a good university, come out to work after graduation, or be a pianist, and live a comfortable and peaceful life." Well, that's pretty much it. What about you? ”

"I, I want to be a teacher in the future." Xu Ying replied.
