Chapter 7: Chance Encounters in the Studio
Yu Nan took Wei Xiaoche to a hot pot restaurant, Wei Xiaoche stood outside the door and called his uncle and aunt, as soon as he entered the store, he saw the waiter greeting him, Yu Nan said something to the man, and went to the private room on the second floor.
"Do you come here often?"
"Come often, I'll come when I don't have money, this is my stepfather's drive! Someone must have told him in a moment, and he'll send me money into the card! ”
"Okay!"
After a while, after the waiter brought all the food, he put a few band-aids in front of Yu Nan, and closed the door and went out.
"Why aren't you curious about who those people are today?" Yu Nan picked up the band-aid and put it on casually as a mirror to the window.
"Not curious!"
"Those two thugs today are friends with Lei Ming." Yu Nan said while rubbing the meat, "Ah, the thunder is the one you said you had less that night!" Sure enough, he said it, he beat the grandson that day, but I didn't expect the grandson to find someone outside the school to block me. ”
"How long ago was that!"
"That's right, but I don't know what the grandson said, those two little thugs 'borrowed' money from me when they saw me!" Seeing that Wei Xiaoche didn't eat, he said, "You eat!" You're welcome! ”
That day, the meal was eaten for more than two hours, and after a few glasses of wine, Yu Nan began to talk endlessly, Wei Xiaoche didn't drink a drop of wine, while listening to him while eating, he heard Yu Nan stop, and he would say a few words, they talked a lot that day, and after eating, they saw that Yu Nan had fallen asleep on the table, so they went out to find the waiter and asked, "Do you know where his house is?" ”
"Ugh....... Just leave and we'll send him home!" ”
"Good, hard work!" Wei Xiaoche returned to the box and put on his clothes, picked up his bag, leaned a few chairs together, put Yu Nan on them, looked at Yu Nan and said after falling asleep: "Happy birthday!" I wish you and I wish him. ”
When he arrived downstairs, Wei Xiaoche smelled that the smell of smoke on his body had almost dissipated, and then he went home.
When Wei Xiaoche went to school on Monday, he still came to school early as always, and when he entered the classroom, he saw Yu Nan sitting in his own seat, the pen in his hand turning around and around: "Alas! Morning! ”
Wei Xiaoche paused for a moment, glanced at himself and did not go to the wrong class, and the classmates on duty in the class also stopped their work and looked at Yu Nan, as if the whole classroom was still, Wei Xiaoche walked to the seat as if he didn't hear it, Yu Nan came over, just like that day, stepped on the chair and sat down face to face with Wei Xiaoche.
"What are you going to do!"
"I've thought about it, listen to your opinion!"
"My opinion? What's the opinion? ”
"Didn't you say that the best way to get out of here is to go to a university? I decided I was going to start studying! ”
"Uh...... Pretty good! That day, when Yu Nan was drunk, he said that his mother and stepfather had their own children, and only he was superfluous in this family, and no one had ever cared about him, so he always used trouble to attract their attention and wanted to leave this home. I didn't expect him to hear it when he was drunk!
"You study literature and science, huh? I'll choose the same as you! ”
"Why do you choose the same as me? Do you want to take the same class with me? Can you get into the same class with me? ”
"That's just when you study well, you make up for me!"
"Why? I don't have time! ”
"It's good for the two of us!" Yu Nan made friends before, had a meal together, chatted, and had a drink, they were brothers, but those so-called good brothers were unreliable at critical moments, in fact, Yu Nan had always known it, but Wei Xiaoche was obviously different from them.
Wei Xiaoche was speechless, he knew before that he was not bad but a little "tiger", but he didn't expect him to be so familiar, just when Wei Xiaoche really thought that he was going to change his past, Yu Nan said: "You lend me last week's homework first!" ”
But what Wei Xiaoche didn't expect was that Yu Nan really came to him for tutoring that day.
At noon, Yu Nan saw Wei Xiaoche in the classroom, and moved the tables and chairs to his side, "Tell me about mathematics!" ”
"Why not?"
"Hmm...... Let's start at the beginning! ”
"From scratch? Which head? Wei Xiaoche asked in surprise.
"Just start with compulsory 3, I still learned some in my freshman year of high school!"
"Compulsory three? We have all learned the required five, you know! ”
"That'...... Doesn't that happen to have a lot of room for improvement! Yu Nan said with a smile.
"You can get out!"
"Let's learn English! I had good English when I was in junior high school! I know everything about the tense! ”
"You always ask for more blessings!" After speaking, Wei Xiaoche went to the bathroom, and when he came back, he saw him flipping through the book and looking at it.
Wei Xiaoche sat down with a long sigh and said, "Prepare a note and write down everything I said!" ”
When Wei Xiaoche said it, he regretted it, he didn't even know very basic things, this is destined to be a big project!
Since then, Wei Xiaoche has one more tablemate, the teacher was afraid of Yu Nan making trouble at first, and asked him to sit back, and then the teacher also saw that Yu Nan was really studying and didn't care, and then after studying for a period of time, Yu Nan felt that science was not suitable for him and switched to liberal arts, and came to school early every day to memorize politics, history, and knowledge about liberal arts. Just sat next to him and whispered to him.
On the weekend, I made an appointment with Wei Xiaoche and tutored him in the hot pot restaurant, and the clerks in the store thought it was very incredible at first, and over time they began to send them some fruits, snacks or something! In the monthly exam in November, Yu Nan's grades improved a little, but not much, when the results were issued, the old class, who had never been waiting to see Yu Nan, looked at the depressed Yu Nan and said: "There are some things, you have to take your time, as long as you want to change, the world will help you!" Before leaving, he said, "If you have any questions, come and ask me, teacher, I am not bad!" After saying that, he left.
At the end of the semester, the teacher asked everyone to turn in the arts and sciences volunteers, and the final exam will only test the corresponding subjects, and then divide the classes according to the grades, and the study of literature and science has become a topic of discussion among the students for a while.
Yu Nan hasn't smoked for a long time, he always has a lollipop in his mouth, and then he doesn't eat candy, when the so-called brothers see Yu Nan before, they will still greet him as usual, but behind his back they say waiting to see his jokes, thinking that he is delaying his efforts in vain!
On the day of the final exam, when Wei Xiaoche saw Yu Nan, he was no different from when he went to the Internet café to play games all night.
"You had insomnia last night?"
"I read a book for the night yesterday and I'm so excited right now!"
“...... Let's go! Then come on! ”
Wei Xiaoche went to the examination room, Yu Nan went to the cafeteria, Yu Nan was still answering when Wei Xiaoche finished handing in the papers, Wei Xiaoche saw through the window of the cafeteria that Yu Nan was in the corner, and the people around him had handed in the papers, and the teacher was sitting near him, looking like he was waiting to collect his papers.
The exam is half a day, the students of the second year of high school in the morning can have a holiday after the exam, and the students of the first year of high school have to take the exam in the afternoon, Yu Nan asked Wei Xiaoche to wait for him, Wei Xiaoche had no place to stay after handing in the papers, and it was very cold outside, so he walked to the cultural and sports activity center opposite the school.
Most of the rooms in the building are locked, after a while, finally there is an unlocked room, Wei Xiaoche just wanted to go in, and saw the girl with a headset before, the bright sunlight shined into the classroom through the window, and the whole studio was bright, she stood by the window, put the paintings on the easel into the bag one by one, tied a high ponytail, long hair on her shoulders, watching her broken hair fall disobediently, she tucked the broken hair behind her ears, and continued to tidy it up, The sun is shining warmly on her, the whole person is bathed in the sun, the silhouette on the ground is doing the same action as her, everything is playing in front of his eyes like slow motion, the air is full of the smell of sunshine, this is the warmest moment in this cold winter day, he slowly took the phone out of his pocket, and secretly recorded this scene, he watched her tidy up, wrapped the scarf around her neck, pulled up the clothes and was about to come out, Wei Xiaoche hurriedly turned around, pretending to pass by. After making sure that she was gone, Wei Xiaoche walked into the studio, took out the paintings she had just thrown in the trash, and saw the signatures on those paintings, which said Zou Wei.
Wei Xiaoche was sitting in the studio looking at the paintings that had been discarded, and the vibration of the mobile phone came from his pocket.
"I'm done! At the school gate, where are you? ”
"Studio."
"Then I'll be waiting for you here, come here!"
When Wei Xiaoche saw Yu Nan, he began to talk endlessly about which question he chose, which question he had read and which one he wouldn't, Wei Xiaoche didn't have time to say anything, he said again: "You don't have to tell me the answer!" I don't want to know! ”
Wei Xiaoche shook his head helplessly, he had long been accustomed to Yu Nan's self-questioning and self-answering way of speaking, which was contrary to his tall appearance.
"Let's go, let's eat!"
"I don't eat lunch!"
"Ah, forget about me!"
"Then, let's go directly to the store, look at English, you press me on the question!" Eat there directly in the evening! ”
The exam lasted for three days, and the final results came down a few days later, Yu Nan waited for Wei Xiaoche to go to school in the morning, although Yu Nan looked very calm, Wei Xiaoche saw his nervousness, the reason was just that the road was too quiet.
When they got the paper, the classmates in the class had joys and sorrows, but Yu Nan was the happiest among them, Yu Nan's grades were good except for geography, especially the three-digit English test, when they got the big list, the first place was still Wei Xiaoche, Wei Xiaoche took a look and began to look for Yu Nan's name, usually Yu Nan is looking for it from the back to the front, this is the first time to start looking for it from the first page. After a while, Wei Xiaoche found him in the lower right corner, and he took the 107th place, so it was good that he could enter a second-class class.
Before the holiday, all the students would stay to clean the classroom, Wei Xiaoche wiped the door frame but did not see Yu Nan's figure, and Yu Nan was in the teacher's office at this time to thank the teacher for his help, and after cleaning, he left first when he saw that he had not come back, which means that he had been gone for a long time when Nan came back.
"Where are you?"
"Finished complimenting?"
"That, it must be, it's the first time I've been praised in the office! Where are you? Let's go! ”
"I'm going first, I'm going to Dingzhou, I'm already at the station!"
"Oh, when are you coming back? I did so well in the exam! Please eat! ”
"Eat it yourself! I'll come back for the New Year, and I'll see you at the beginning of school! Wei Xiaoche didn't talk much, and after hanging up the phone, he got on the long-distance bus.
A few days ago, on New Year's Day, his uncle and aunt asked him how he was going to spend the winter vacation, if there was a place he wanted to go to or something, but Wei Xiaoche said that he wanted to go home for a while, and his uncle and aunt were a little surprised, they didn't want Wei Xiaoche to return to that place, but Wei Xiaoche said: "I'll go back and live for half a month, and I'll come back before the New Year!" ”
Uncle and aunt hesitated, and said uneasily: "Then let your brother go over to live with you!" We don't have to worry about your own life, half a month is not a short time, and your brother can still take care of you in the past! Wei Xiaoche didn't want them to worry, so he agreed.
