Chapter 24: Tell me where the rainbow is

On Friday afternoon, everyone would go home, there were already few students in the school, and it was raining, and there were no people in the school, so I wanted to run to the school gate to chase the promise, but I saw him not far away.

He sat on the stone steps as if he were talking on the phone.

"I'm not coming back." His tone was like the weather at this time, dull and dull, and he hung up the phone after speaking.

I watched as the raindrops kept hitting him, and he just sat there, motionless.

"Is he stupid..."

I wrinkled to myself, walked over to him, opened the umbrella, and covered his head.

"Didn't you say go home?" I asked.

Xu Promise raised his head, there were still a few drops of water on his face, and his expression was a little gloomy: "Why did you come out?" ”

"I'll give you an umbrella! Such a heavy rain! Why aren't you coming home yet? "I'm a little angry.

"Don't want to go back. Didn't you ask me, didn't you never worry about being scolded if you didn't do well in the exam? Xu Yu lowered his head and smiled a little sarcastically, "Since I was a child, I have been scolded every time I take the second place in the exam, because in their hearts, there is only the first place. ”

"Ahh

I didn't expect that the parents who made the promise would be like this...

"They told me from a young age that the first place child will always be remembered, and the second place will never be remembered."

As he spoke, his phone rang again, and I looked at him without hesitation, and hung up the call from his mother.

I don't know why, I suddenly felt a little distressed and promised, I don't know how he got the first place from childhood to adulthood, it must be very hard, and he didn't take the first place because of himself at all, but because he was affirmed by his mother. However, since I was a child, I didn't have a single praise, even if I won the first place in school, it was just a matter of course, and there was nothing to praise.

"Promise... In fact, "when the words came to my lips, I didn't know how to speak."

It turns out that I really don't comfort people.

The promised phone rang again, and he was about to hang up irritably, when I snatched it: "Let me say it, believe me, I will always handle it better than you." ”

I picked up the phone, but before I could speak, a voice came from inside: "You still dare to hang up on me?" Do you still have a face for the second place in the exam? Hurry home! My son can only rely on the first place! ”

"That's... Auntie, I'm sorry, I'm a classmate who promised. "My throat is a little dry.

After hearing my voice, the promising mother paused and asked, "What about the promise?" ”

"Hmm... Auntie is like this, this time it was actually because the questions were more difficult, and we didn't do well in the exam, so we decided to use the weekend time to do a good job of tutoring, and promised to be called by the teacher just now, so that he could lead everyone to do a good job of tutoring this weekend. ”

"Oh? He was so bad in the exam that he could still lead everyone to tutor? Auntie's tone became mean.

"Auntie, Xu is very good in our class, and the teachers often praise him, and this time he has actually done well in the exam, and he has always been our role model, and the teacher asked him to help everyone." I tried my best to tell his mom in my own way that the promise was great.

"Oh..."The tone on the phone was half-believing, and after a long time, he replied lightly: "Okay," ”

"Auntie, don't worry." After hanging up the phone, I returned the phone to Xu Xu, "I'm sorry, I didn't have your consent, in fact, I think you and Auntie are angry now, even if you go home, you will quarrel unpleasantly, why don't you wait until your anger is gone?" ”

Xu Promise took the phone and nodded: "Thank you." ”

I sat down next to him and held an umbrella for him: "I don't mean to help my aunt speak, it's just that maybe every parent expresses their love in a different way, although I know that they shouldn't impose their own notions on you, which may not be so correct, but in fact, you can't deny that this is also a kind of love, as long as it's love, maybe it can be forgiven." ”

Xu Promise looked down at his toes and didn't speak, and I suddenly stood up excitedly: "Look! The rain has stopped! I put away my umbrella and looked hard at the slightly clear sky, "But... Why is there no rainbow? ”

Xu Promise also stood up and suddenly asked me, "Do you know how the rainbow works?" ”

I looked at him and shook my head.

"Rainbows are formed by the dispersion and reflection of sunlight into small, almost spherical droplets in the sky. When sunlight hits a water droplet, it is incident at different angles at the same time, and it is reflected at different angles within the water droplet. The reflection at 40 to 42 degrees Celsius is the most intense, resulting in the rainbow we see. He said in one go.

"That's not right." I thought about it and said.

"Huh?"

I smiled at him and said, "The reason the rainbow is because of the storm!" Because, the sunshine is always after the wind and rain, please believe that there is a rainbow~" I sang as I spoke, and while singing, I circled around the promise.

Xu Promise looked at me and couldn't help but be amused by me.

"You're smiling!" I made a promise as if I had discovered a new continent.

"You're an idiot." Promise tapped me on the head, "Back to the dormitory!" ”

"Hey, hey," I smirked and walked with him in the direction of the dormitory.

Back in the bedroom, except for Lin Wanwan, Liu Meiran and Tian Xiaorou were there.

"You're not going home?" I asked them when I opened the umbrella.

"I..."Liu Meiran stopped talking, "I have something to do this week, so I won't go back!" ”

"Really?" Lin Wanwan stared at her, "Are you sure you don't dare to go home because you have the countdown to the exam?" ”

"Lin Wanwan!" Liu Meiran's face turned red when she brushed the ground, "Aren't you also countdown, it's not much better than me!" ”

Lin Wanwan shrugged: "I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of, didn't I do well in the exam?" ”

Tian Xiaorou sat on a chair, and there were test papers on the table: her voice was as small as a mosquito: "I will definitely be beaten when I go home." ”

"But what do you say about Lao Zhang! Isn't it that you didn't do well in the exam once, and you actually called your parents one by one to inform them? Liu Meiran said angrily.

"People are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed." Lin Wanwan said faintly.

"You say, An Yu is the first, and An Qi is the last, what will their parents think?" Liu Meiran suddenly thought seriously.

"I don't think I've ever heard them talk about their parents," I thought about and said.

"Look at An Qi's hanging child, I really don't know how to educate her in the family." Liu Meiran pursed her lips.

"Don't talk about this, we finally got together in the dormitory on the weekend, do you want to hang out together tomorrow?" After saying that, I looked at them expectantly,

"I refuse to be in the same frame as someone." Liu Meiran glanced at Lin Wanwan.

"Cut!" Lin Wanwan gave her a big roll of the eyes, "That's it, we have the same opinion!" ”

"What about you, Xiaorou?"

"I have to review it well..."Tian Xiaorou shook her head.

"Okay." I sat back in bed, and sometimes I felt like something was missing from our dorm.
