I still remember the classmate who sat in front of me during an exam.

Sunny, handsome, cheerful.

Full of youthful atmosphere, he took the initiative to talk to me: "You are Xu Xiaokui?" ”

I wondered how he could have known my name. But when I saw his gaze resting on the admission ticket number in the upper right corner of the table, my doubts were solved.

"Your sister is in the same class as me, and I heard the civil engineering teacher mention you."

"Oh."

It was an amazing encounter.

In this way, although I don't talk much, he is very lively and cheerful, always looking for various topics, and seems to be able to talk about all kinds of topics.

Very happy.

Later, I got his QQ number through my sister and became a "very good friend", at least that's what I think.

This little brother of sunshine is nicknamed "Little Gray Gray".

The first time I heard the name, I forgive me for laughing unkindly.

Very interesting name.

It happened to be the time when "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" was a big hit, and I remember when I was a child, sitting next to the TV series, waiting for it to be broadcast, day after day.

I remember the name Little Gray.

……

Summer vacation is here again.

After the experience of failure in the past, this time I changed from passive to active, as soon as I had a holiday, I began to focus on summer vacation homework, which took about ten days, and the summer vacation homework was perfectly over.

The rest of the time is for eating, drinking, and merrymaking.

"I'll show you a picture." My sister said to me with the old age machine.

I poked my head curiously, but I was greeted by the "shadow of childhood" that I still remembered.

What caught my eye was a photo of the three of us at that time, playing at home, taking pictures of each other, I looked at the photos and didn't think anything, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

My sister replied solemnly: "You see there is a person in the back, someone I don't know." ”

I took a closer look, it was my brother in the photo, I took this photo at the time, and when I looked closely, behind him, there was indeed a middle-aged woman wearing a purple cotton suit, wearing a black mask, short hair, and standing behind him.

"Ahh I was so frightened that I quickly threw down my phone and leaned against the wall.

Due to the pixels at the time, the person in the photo was a little blurry and couldn't see his appearance clearly, but there was no short-haired person in our family, and besides, I didn't know this person at all, and what scared me the most was that there were many other photos from this angle, but this one.

I wanted to cry without tears, so I didn't dare to take a second look, so I quickly called on my sister to delete this photo.

It's a nightmare.

It wasn't until I watched the photo be deleted that I slowly calmed down, and I still feel scared when I think about it.

It seems that my timidity was formed from a young age.

So much so that when I look at the photos later, I pay special attention to whether there is anything strange behind me.

After all, there are some things that science can't explain.

……

Second

Square.

"I really don't understand, welcome new students, what are we going to do?"

"That's it!"

"We're both in our second year of junior high school."

"What can I do then?"

"Alas!"

“……”

In the hot summer, standing under the scorching sun, the voices of the students complaining became stronger and stronger.

Oh, yes!

At the beginning of this school year, we have already entered the second year of junior high school, and we are no longer the youngest grade on campus.

Each class is a phalanx and is neatly arranged. The conference began with the principal's speech: "First of all, welcome the children of the first year of junior high school to our 16th middle school ......"

Children?

It turns out that we used to be children in their eyes, and it is hard to say how arrogant we were at the beginning.

"Ah, you've grown taller?" A classmate asked.

I nodded shyly, indeed, this time I was almost at the bottom of the line, even taller than many of the boys.

However, after all, most boys develop more slowly than girls, both physically and psychologically.

It's also normal, but when we just enter adolescence, we are actually very face-saving, especially me, who always cares about what others think of us.

The truth is that everyone in this world is mostly self-centered, no one cares about you at all, and there is not much time and energy to observe you.

It would have been nice if I could have understood that.

The head teacher was also present at the meeting, and she stood aside, wandering back and forth in order to manage discipline.

We're used to her excellence.

Finally, the dean of instruction issued a task to "broadcast the gymnastics competition" and it ended.

The civil engineering teacher, who pursues perfection, attaches great importance to this broadcast gymnastics competition, and in order to get the rankings, it is really "night and day" practice.

In the eyes of the civil engineering teacher, in any competition, you can only win the first.

The pressure is coming.

Recess exercises.

This is the best time to practice, when the other classes are just casually perfunctory, our class seems to be extraordinarily "maverick", everyone holds their breath, for fear of being scolded for not doing well.

"Jumping is not about tiptoeing."

However, I was still scolded, which was a casual remark made by the civil engineering teacher when he passed me after the recess exercise.

However, this also deeply stung my heart, when I was young, my ability to bear it was too poor, and I was always depressed because of a reproach.

After the recess exercise was over, I moved closer, and after the dismissal, I walked nonchalantly towards the class.

"What did the civil engineer tell you just now?"

I turned around and saw Student G, who was surprised in my heart and calm on the surface. Why did he ask me all of a sudden? "I didn't ...... Didn't say anything......"

I replied in a slurred manner.

Student G was puzzled and frowned, "Then why are you depressed?" ”

Yes, my expression has betrayed myself, it looks like there is no one, but it is not a big deal, for me at the time, it is very embarrassing.

So, squeeze out a smile hard, "Is there one?" ”

He didn't ask too much.

However, although we have nothing to talk about on the virtual network, we are still ordinary classmates in the class, and we don't have too many words, and he always takes the initiative to talk to me.

It's hard or I have a delusion.

……

On the eve of the broadcast gymnastics competition.

Self-study classes.

The civil engineering teacher organizes a radio gymnastics assessment in the class, in the form of a small group.

"The third set of national middle school students' radio gymnastics "Flying Ideals" ......" music sounded, and we also started......

For more than a month, I seemed to be stunned.

When sleeping, eating, bathing...... Radio gymnastics music plays on a loop in my head.

Now, when I hear this music, the cells of my whole body are tense, and I stand in the back, but I still do my best to do every movement, for fear of being scolded by the civil engineering teacher.

"Xu Xiaokui!"

"To ......"

When I was called by name, I looked at Mr. Civil Engineering cautiously, and I felt that I was doing a good job, and I didn't make a mistake......

"Stand up to the front." Mr. Civil Engineering looked pleased.

I moved to the front with a puzzled step, which is now called the C position, and began the second broadcast gymnastics......

At this time, I completely forgot about shyness, and just blindly pursued the perfection of the movement, and I was confident at this moment.

However, when I was done, I realized that all eyes were on me, and I sat in the corner and watched the next group of presentations.

Thankfully, it wasn't seen by others.

Otherwise, it will be too big.

……

"In the second year of junior high school, the first class to play is the first class of junior high school, and the second class of junior high school prepares for ......"

The broadcast gymnastics competition arrived as scheduled.

This situation reminds me of us during the military training exercise, although we did not get the first place, but the significance is significant.

However, this time we were the second to play, so we couldn't help but be a little nervous.

"The second and second classes of junior high school will play, and the second and third classes of junior high school will prepare......"

When on the field, everyone held their breath, listened carefully to the music, and did every action well, so that the efforts of this time were not in vain, and for the expectations of the civil engineering teacher.

At the end of the game, we can hear the exclamations of other students in the back, are we doing too well? It's still that the previous class was too bad, but I personally think it's still good.

In the distance, the civil engineering teacher also gave us a thumbs up.

Very proud.

When the results were announced, our class ranked third, after all, it was a school-wide competition, and third was already very good, after all, in real life, there were not so many counterattacks.
