Chapter 108: Talking in the Rain
Sunday afternoon β
Gu Xinyuan came to the classroom of class two (14) with a bag of things, took a look, and found that there was no Yin Hongmei she was looking for, she was very puzzled, and said to herself, "Hasn't she come yet?" What's going on with the bag in the dorm? Oh, why isn't Ruonan here? β
"What for?" A cold female voice suddenly sounded.
"Ouch!" Gu Xinyuan was taken aback, turned around and saw that it was Cui Ruonan, patted his chest, and said, "You scared me to death, really!" β
"What's there to be afraid of? Scold! Cui Ruonan frowned slightly, sneered, and then stopped paying attention to the other party, and walked straight into the classroom with his books.
Gu Xinyuan took two steps into the classroom and said enthusiastically, "It's so early!" β
Cui Ruonan flipped through his book and said without raising his head: "It's not early!" I'm late for something today! β
"Really?" Gu Xinyuan pursed his lips, smiled a little nervously, raised the thing in his hand, and said, "Oh, that, this is-"
Exhaling lightly, Cui Ruonan snapped the book, raised his head slightly, glanced at Gu Xinyuan and said coldly: "It's about to be exam, why are you not going back to your class here?" β
"I-I just-"
"Heart?!"
Gu Xinyuan breathed a sigh of relief, took the other party's hand, and said happily: "Hongmei, you are here." β
"What are you looking for from me?" When Yin Hongmei spoke, her eyes glanced at Cui Ruonan, who was studying seriously in her seat, and made a grimace at the other party.
"Hmm!" Gu Xinyuan gently grabbed his friend's arm, smiled helplessly to stop the other party's movements, and said, "I just want to tell you that the things I brought you are in your dormitory." β
"Well, I saw that. Thank you! β
"You're welcome! Ha ha! Oh, this is for Meng Boyu and Feng Pufei, you can give it to them later! β
"Well, good! Let's go outside and talk! β
The two men came to the balcony fence at the entrance of the classroom and talked on their stomachs, only to find that it was already raining outside.
Yin Hongmei said: "I just looked at the dark sky, thinking that it must rain!" Gu Xinyuan said: "It's been stuffy all day, and it's good to rain down." By the way, I saw Ouyang Lu just now, and the meeting may be coming. β
"Well, that's good. I was saying I'm going to give him the fried meatballs! Hey," Gu Xinyuan sighed and hesitated: "I don't know if he likes to eat it or not!" He doesn't like to eat fried food, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't have given it to him. β
Yin Hongmei nodded and said thoughtfully: "That's right!" After all, compared to other boys, his clean face felt like the words 'healthy eating' were engraved on his face. β
"Haha, if he hears this, he might be angry!" Thinking of Ouyang Lu's angry face, Gu Xinyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Yin Hongmei stared at Gu Xinyuan for a while and said, "Huh? That, Xinyuan, your eyesβ" She saw her friend's reddened eyes just now, but when she saw that she frowned at the mention of eyes, she shut up. After a while, she saw Gu Xinyuan's cute little tiger teeth, so she smiled and said, "You said that your little tiger tooth looks like it-"
As soon as Gu Xinyuan heard Yin Hongmei say that she had tiger teeth, she immediately pursed her mouth and asked a little embarrassedly, "Isn't it ugly?" β
Yin Hongmei was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "How can it be ugly!" Such a symmetrical little tiger tooth looks very delicate and cute! β
Gu Xinyuan quickly covered his mouth, shook his head, and said sullenly: "Don't lie to me." Someone once said that my teeth were like vampire's teeth, which was scary! β
"Who said that?" Yin Hongmei asked incredulously.
"A friend, ah, no, it's a classmate." Gu Xinyuan frowned slightly, and pretended to be indifferent: "But it's nothing, it's a long time ago." Looking up at the sky in silence, she sighed sadly, but the conversation between her parents came to mind.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"You, although your size and appearance are okay, but this tooth is really not good-looking!"
"If the teeth were straightened a little more, it should be better, or should I go straight?"
"Hmph, a big man, doesn't he speak without thinking about it? Don't worry about work, big words are very smooth, do you know that the whole tooth has to be at least several pieces! What's the matter, do you pay for it? β
"W-So expensive? Well, it's still not neat! Although it's a pity, however, our family doesn't have that extra money to waste on your teeth, anyway, we don't delay eating, ugly is ugly! β
"Hey, these teeth are so ugly! If you want to blame your father, who made his teeth crooked! β
"Why do you blame me? Mine isn't particularly neat, but at least it's not scary, right? β
"And so it is! Hahaha..."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Yin Hongmei saw that Gu Xinyuan was in pain, so she stopped talking about this topic, stretched out her hand to follow the rain outside, and said softly: "This rain feels cold and cold, it's so comfortable!" β
Gu Xinyuan also stretched out his hand, caught the rain outside, and said very sadly: "Yes, it's so cool......" Then he turned his head to look at Yin Hongmei, forcibly squeezed out a smile, and pretended to be relaxed: "When I went home this time, my brother had a fight with my mother because she tore up the comic book that my brother lent me. β
"Huh? Why did you rip up your brother's comic book? β
"She said it was for our good, for us to study hard. My brother got into an argument with her. Actually, I really think my brother is right. β
"What?"
"He said to my parents, 'What the hell are you coming back for? Is it to hurt us? However, my mother got angry, and my father beat my brother up for this, saying that he didn't know how to be considerate of their hard work, and that they just had two white-eyed wolves. Gu Xinyuan frowned, looked into the distance, and said with a sneer: "Listen, it's as if they went out to work, and we enjoyed a great blessing at home." She bit her lip stubbornly, held back the tears in her eyes, gritted her teeth and continued: "Later, my brother said that he didn't want to continue to go to school, so my mother knelt down for him, I really don't understand why she knelt, doesn't she know that this kind of behavior of hers is a life-saving behavior in the mouths of the old people?" I can't figure it out, really! Whewββ, I feel like my mom is like a psychopath, I know I shouldn't hate my mom, but I can't help but hate her in my heart, disgust her! I-" She lowered her head, her voice trembling as she let out a few deep breaths, tears still streaming uncontrollably.
Yin Hongmei only felt that her throat was blocked, it was extremely uncomfortable, she pursed her lips with red eyes, and stretched out her hand, but she didn't know how to comfort the friend in front of her.
Gu Xinyuan cried for a while, wiped his tears, raised his head, smiled awkwardly, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't plan to tell you this, but I still told you all these troublesome things." β
"Fool, we are good friends, if you don't tell me, who do you want to tell me? So, did your brother continue to go to school? β
"Go! Later, this incident alarmed my grandmother and grandfather, and they gave my mother and father a severe reprimand, and my grandfather talked to my brother for a long time before he finally agreed to finish junior high school. β
"Hey!" Yin Hongmei sighed deeply, but did not continue to speak.
Gu Xinyuan looked at Yin Hongmei, who was full of sadness, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Thank you for listening to me." Okay, I have to go back to class, so I won't bother you. β
Yin Hongmei saw that Gu Xinyuan's mood seemed to be much better, she smiled and hugged her, and whispered softly on her shoulder: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Whoever you hate, I know you're a good girl. β
"Hmm." Gu Xinyuan responded with a sigh, because she didn't believe that she was a good girl, how could this fluttering sentence enter her heart.
After separating from her friends, Gu Xinyuan walked to her classroom, at the door of her classroom, she happened to see Ouyang Lu looking at the rain, and after putting the things in her hand back to her seat, she walked over and found that the other party was on the phone, so she didn't continue to lean forward, standing one meter away from him and listening to him call. After listening to a few words, she knew that he was talking to his mother, and that the mother and son were so harmonious and natural and cared for each other.
Listening to it, Gu Xinyuan suddenly felt that there was a despicable and dirty emotion gushing out of her heart, it was an emotion that she didn't know how to describe, chaotic and uncomfortable as if she had fallen into a swamp, she couldn't help but think: Why is God so unfair, her grades are so good, why can she still have such a good mother? Why are my parents so much worse than other people's parents? If my grades were better, would my parents have treated me better? Ah, what is the condition for parents to love their children? Is it academic performance? Maybe, right? But what if not? Who can answer this question? Or is it simply an unsolvable problem?
Ouyang Lu hung up the phone and found that Gu Xinyuan was standing very close to him looking at the sky in a daze, seeing that his eyes full of melancholy seemed to be full of sadness and incomprehension, so he moved over a little and said slowly: "What's wrong?" β
Hearing Ouyang Lu's voice, Gu Xinyuan immediately put away his emotions, instantly changed to a smiling expression, and pretended to be cheerful: "Is the call ready?" Hey, it's nice to have a phone! I also wanted one, but unfortunately my parents didn't buy it for me, saying that they were afraid of delaying their studies. β
Ouyang Lu looked at the foamy strength on Gu Xinyuan's face, sighed helplessly in his heart, and then said with a smile of disgust: "It's nothing good to have a mobile phone, my parents keep calling me, it's annoying!" β
"Humph! A man's mouth! Gu Xinyuan pursed his lips and teased angrily, "I didn't know who was smiling so happily just now!" What, are you afraid that I will rob you of your parents? β
Ouyang Lu was stunned for a moment, stared at Gu Xinyuan with an innocent face, covered his mouth with his left hand and laughed.
Gu Xinyuan frowned in confusion, and asked angrily, "What are you laughing at?" Is there anything wrong with what I said? Or do I have something on my face? As he spoke, he rubbed his cheek, but nothing came off.
Ouyang Lu tilted his head slightly, squinted at Gu Xinyuan with a smile in his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "You don't have anything on your face!" There really is nothing! β
Gu Xinyuan patted Ouyang Lu gently, stomped his feet in anger, and said with a smile: "Oh, you still said no, you see you laughing!" Laughing ghosts! Hum! β
Ouyang Lu held back the smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "Okay, okay, just don't laugh!" Hahaha! β
"You!" When Gu Xinyuan raised her hand and was about to pat Ouyang Lu again, the other party dodged it, and she shouted angrily: "If you have the ability, don't run!" β
"I don't have that ability, I'll run!" Ouyang Lu made a childish grimace at Gu Xinyuan, "This is to pay you back, who made you make a face at me all the time!" β
"You're ββ, mad at me, I'm going to catch you!" As he spoke, Gu Xinyuan ran in the direction of Ouyang Lu.
