Xu Yuanyuan glanced at Xu Xiu and Xiao Chen, not knowing what to say.

Instead, he scolded other people.

After scolding, people lowered their heads and returned to their seats.

Only Xu Xiu and Xiao Chen's mood was not affected, and they still brushed the questions by themselves.

A few days later, the art teacher reported to the head teacher that the people in Class 10 did not listen well to the class and always kept their eyes on the test papers.

Sure enough, Xu Yuanyuan scolded the classmates of Class 10 again.

But there is no punishment, just a scolding.

The people in the next ten classes had to secretly concentrate on two things, and when necessary, they listened carefully to the class.

Xu Xiu has also done this kind of thing, and he has thought that he does not respect the teacher very much, but in Xu Xiu's eyes, the world is big, and it is not as big as brushing the questions.

Xiao Chen looked at Xu Xiu, who was struggling to write, and felt inexplicable, he didn't understand, is the charm of learning so great?

Xiao Chen asked, Xu Xiu glanced at him, and said with a serious face: "Learning makes me happy." ”

Looking at her focused face, Xiao Chen didn't know what to say, just looked at her quietly.

Soon, the midterm exams arrived.

Xu Xiu, who has always been as light as water, actually felt a trace of nervousness from her eyes.

"It's fine." Xiao Chen slightly opened his thin lips, and his voice was neither lukewarm nor hot.

Xu Xiu glanced at Xiao Chen, and smiled very lightly, which was a response to Xiao Chen's concern, but there was nothing else.

This nerd, it's not interesting.

Xiao Chen turned back to review his homework.

Xu Xiu was indeed a little nervous just now, but by Xiao Chen's words, he became calm again.

Xu Xiu looked at the dark sky outside the window, the black cloth was dotted with stars, flashing with a faint light. The branches of the trees are hidden in the night, and their outlines can only be seen in the light of the light.

It's getting darker today than ever.

Winter, is it coming?

Time flies.

Xu Xiu suddenly thought of something, her pupils suddenly contracted, but after a while, she returned to her original state, took off her eyes, finished a set of eye exercises, picked up the pen again, and began to write back and forth.

The next morning, after Xu Xiu finished making breakfast, he let Xiao Chen go first. When the others left, Xu Xiu made a phone call to the head teacher.

"Hello? Who is it? Xu Yuanyuan's voice was a little hoarse, as if she had just woken up.

"Teacher, I'm taking a leave of absence today."

"What's wrong?"

"There's something going on at home, and I want to go back."

"Do your parents know?"

"Teacher, if you are not at ease, you can call my mother, if you can ask me to take leave, please send me a text message, I won't go home without permission before that." Xu Xiu said.

Xu Yuanyuan agreed to call first to verify, although she knew that Xu Xiu was a very well-behaved child, but this process still had to be followed.

After calling to confirm, Xu Yuanyuan allowed Xu Xiu to ask for leave.

Seeing the message sent by the teacher, Xu Xiu exhaled, as if relieved.

She simply cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and began to pack her things, putting everything she thought she needed in a black canvas bag.

When I went out, I went to the flower shop to buy a white lily, because it was shipped from other places and was an out-of-season plant, so the price was twice as expensive as usual, and Xu Xiu, who had always been thrifty, bought it without hesitation.

Later, I went to the supermarket and bought spicy strips and some oranges, and then went somewhere.

At the end of the morning self-study, Xiao Chen looked at the vacant seats around him, his good-looking brows furrowed slightly, and took advantage of the gap between classes, Xiao Chen went downstairs and went to the security room to borrow a phone.

Skillfully dialed a series of calls, and soon, it was connected.

"Hey, hello."

It was Xiao Chen's familiar voice. The hanging heart finally let go.

Xiao Chen stabilized his mood and said, "Where have you been?" ”

"I took a day off."

"What's wrong, are you sick?" Xiao Chen asked eagerly, and realized that he was a little too much, so he began to accept it: "If you are sick, you will be treated." ”

"Nope. I hung up if nothing else, and the phone bill was quite expensive. Xu Xiu didn't pay attention to Xiao Chen's words, and after waiting for a while, Xiao Chen said that it was okay, and Xu Xiu hung up the phone.

Listening to the "toot" in his ears, Xiao Chen didn't know what it was like in his heart.

Reassured that she was okay, but why was he so uncomfortable now.

It was as if someone had pinched my heart.

It turned out that she was so unimportant in her heart, and she didn't want to tell him anything.

Xiao Chen began to re-examine his relationship.

Is it self-inflicted?

Under the strange eyes of the security guard, Xiao Chen walked out of the security room in despair and walked aimlessly.

During this period, a girl came to talk, and Xiao Chen glanced at them coldly.

The girls who came over to talk to them were so frightened that they took a few steps back and made a way, Xiao Chen didn't look at them again, and walked straight over.

"Huh, you're handsome, aren't you?"

"It's just, it's rude."

Xiao Chen ignored what others said, his heart felt as if he was pressed by a stone, he was in a very bad mood now.

After an hour and a half, Xu Xiu finally arrived at her destination.

It was full of graves, and there were only a few people, and it was cold.

Xu Xiu walked for a few minutes and came to a tombstone.

There is also a photo of Xu Cong on the right side of the name "Xu Cong's Tomb" engraved on it.

Originally, the Xu family wanted to be buried in the back mountain in the countryside, but Xu Xiu did not allow it, so she bought a piece of land at the junction of the village and the city with the pocket money she had saved for many years, and buried her younger brother.

The villagers laughed at her for not being able to live, and they all said that why did a dead man live in a place that spent so much money, she was really full of food and support.

Xu Xiu put the flowers in front of the tombstone, and put away the rotten oranges and expired spicy strips on the plate in front of the tombstone.

Replace the one you just bought.

Xu Xiu sat in front of the tombstone and said a word, and people who didn't look at the tombstone thought she was chatting with someone.

From time to time, Xu Xiuhui laughed out loud, and the people on the side looked at each other strangely, although they didn't say anything, they were saying in their hearts: This kid has split nerves.

He shook his head with a sigh and left, looking sympathetic to others.

Xu Xiu ignored it and spoke to herself.

She said more than usual, as if she had saved up for a year and poured out at this moment.

Saying that he was tired, Xu Xiu stopped and looked at Xu Cong, who was smiling brightly in the photo.

Xu Xiu felt that his throat was sour and astringent, his eyes were hot, and his vision became blurred, as if he had made a mosaic.

She felt a warm liquid slip down her cheeks, dripping onto the back of her hand. Some said with their faces slid into the corners of their mouths.

It's a bit salty.

Tears?

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had cried.

She only remembers the last time she cried was when she was in the second year of junior high school.

She took off her glasses and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand.
