Chapter 40: Sunny Day II
I reached out and took the cup, and before I drank it, I felt warm in my heart, and then asked tentatively: "Aren't you afraid of being home alone at night, your parents are so relieved that you are home alone?" ”
"What is there to be afraid of, it's true that they are not at ease, so they arranged for my aunt to accompany me, but she has to work the night shift tonight." My heart tightened at first, and then I was relieved.
I let go of my courage and shouted for my aunt: "Where does your aunt work, why is she still on the night shift from time to time?" ”
"Hospital."
We just chatted and forgot the time, and when I finished drinking the ginger tea and looked at the time, I realized that there were still seven minutes before the school gate was about to be banned.
"Oh, I've got to go. Don't forget to lock the door. "I regretted looking up at the time, but I had to get up and leave right away.
Zhao Min also raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, and said with a puzzled expression: "There are still six minutes before you can catch up." ”
"There's no way, I have to fight!"
"Or ...... Or don't go back tonight. Zhao Min brushed his hair behind his ear and said.
"Okay!" I said calmly with the joy in my heart.
"Don't think about it, I'm just afraid you're sleeping on the streets. You're okay with sleeping on the couch, right? ”
"No problem, I can sleep anywhere." Her multi-person sofa is actually the folding form of the bed, with a simple appearance, elegant colors, and the atmosphere of that era everywhere.
By the way, this has nothing to do with the feelings of the time, but only the reflections triggered by this moment of writing: an old light, carefully squeezed through the gap in the half-worn curtains, shining on the damp, light gray concrete floor, the light strip full of dancing dust particles. If time is compared to a fruit tree, it feels like the fruit of grafting the branches of an old tree onto the trunk of a new tree.
"Really? Hehe! Then you sleep on the floor!" Zhao Min smiled and said, "By the way, where did you put your bicycle?" ”
After Zhao Min said this, he remembered that the bicycle was still lying on the side of the road at the entrance of the community. So I hurriedly went downstairs and pushed the bicycle into the bicycle shed in the community, and then called Qian Duo and said that I would not be going back to the dormitory tonight.
When the room was dark again, I suddenly felt the sound of the clock on the wall moving the hands so noisy that I couldn't sleep from tossing and turning on the sofa, and my head kept flashing what I thought was possible.
In the morning, I slowly opened my eyes with a familiar alarm sound, I didn't know if I didn't know, I was startled when I saw it - Zhao Min was lying in the crook of my arm and sleeping soundly, I touched my forehead, closed my eyes and tried to remember, but I couldn't remember when I climbed into her bed.
At this moment, I felt someone tap me on the shoulder, and suddenly opened my eyes, only to see Zhao Min standing next to me dressed neatly. "It's a dream again!" I thought to myself.
Seeing that I woke up, Zhao Min hurriedly said: "It's time to get up, you will leave first later, it will not be good to be seen by others." "If I hadn't glanced at my watch, I would have thought I had overslept.
I was supposed to lie down in my clothes, and it was time to get up and put on a pair of shoes.
"I'll fold it later!" Seeing Zhao Min's embarrassed expression, I hurriedly stopped folding my hand on the quilt and didn't wash my face at all. He said, "I'll go first." So he lifted up his feet and walked towards the door.
"Wait a minute, I'll see if there's anyone first." Zhao Min opened the door a crack, poked his head out to look at it, and then opened the door wider, and said urgently, "No one, you can leave quickly." ”
As soon as he came out, the door behind him shut. The wind was very slippery in the corridor, and I couldn't help but shiver, pulled up my collar, shrunk my neck, and left as if I was running away.
I stood my bike where it lay last night and looked up at Zhao Min's window. A waning moon hung poetically in the sky, and I only felt a coolness that was more refreshing than calming my nerves and replenishing my brain. After a while, the windows of many people in the community suddenly lit up as if frightened, but at this time, Zhao Min's windows shy and shy to turn on the light.
"Fuck! Which bastard throws banana peels again. ”
I followed the sound and saw not far away an old man with gray hair and sportswear bending down, and then he picked up the banana peel on the ground, still swearing and walking towards the garbage bin. For the first time, I felt that the voice of scolding the street was so beautiful, and I really wanted to scold him back:
"Old man, you're such a sass!"
There is one thing I want to talk about here, that is, a notice issued by the Public Security Bureau some time ago:
Although the police have increased the number of patrol officers and intensified their patrols, it is hoped that the general public and all students will try not to go out at night, let alone go out alone.
As soon as the notice came out, the school also immediately posted a notice - the first and second year of high school students will go together according to the area after the evening self-study, and their parents will greet them in advance, and the morning self-study will be reversed. Except for senior high school students.
The reason why students in the third year of high school are excluded is because the third year of high school has an extra half-night self-study, and all of them live on campus.
After getting the news, I immediately turned around the car repair shops around the school, and after a lot of talking, I finally bought a second-hand bicycle with a satisfactory black and green color scheme and a closed chain box, ready to be used to send Zhao Min home after school in the evening.
I didn't expect to be rejected by her as soon as I opened my mouth, so I had to follow her and secretly deliver it every night. As for why Sun Qiong didn't send Zheng Jie, I think the reason may be similar.
I happened to meet Sun Qiong who came out of the classroom at the door of Zhao Min's class, and he just walked past me with a blank face but didn't greet me. Even I called him and there was no response, and it wasn't until I caught up with him and patted him on the shoulder that he came to his senses.
"Brother, are you looking for Zhao Min? I'll help you see if she's around. ”
"Don't worry, what's wrong with you, you're out of love, absent-minded?" I put my arm around Sun Qiong's shoulders and asked with a smile.
"No, it's okay, I'm fine." Sun Qiong's face barely squeezed out a smile.
"It's okay, it just so happens that Zhao Min and I are going to eat at the classmate sheep soup restaurant, you call Zheng Jie, let's be together!"
"Go ahead, I still have something to do, let's go first." With that, he left, leaving me stunned.
After a while, I felt something gently sweep across my face, as if caressed by the warm breeze in late spring and March, which was the sweetness of longing. Turning his head, he just saw Zhao Min wrapping a scarf.
"What's wrong with Sun Qiong, you can't keep your soul?" I asked.
"Zheng Jie broke up with him." Zhao Min said expressionlessly.
"No wonder, no, I'll have to comfort him." Saying that, I'm going to chase Sun Qiong.
Zhao Min hurriedly took my arm and said, "Let's let him be quiet first." ”
Along the way, I picked up some things that I didn't have, and I had nothing to say, Zhao Min was surprisingly quiet today, just perfunctory and scribbled. Although I don't want to mention it, some of the fire nests in my heart are really uncomfortable.
