Chapter 29: Friends and Family
Li Ya returned to school again one morning a week later, and that day Lin Luoluo happened to be holding a cup to fetch water and saw Li Ya coming up from downstairs, Lin Luoluo, who looked at each other, somehow said: "Are you better?" Li Ya just walked past Lin Luoluo without answering after a few seconds, although Li Ya was wearing a hat, the bruised face under her eyes still made people's hearts tremble, and the indescribable sadness may have a moment of distress.
Last weekend, Lin Luoluo checked some information about psychological counseling, because he didn't pay attention to these checkups on weekdays, and found that many of them corresponded to him, and he panicked, but he didn't dare to tell Qi Yujiu and them about it, according to Jiang Zhijing's character, he would definitely drag Lin Luoluo to see a doctor immediately, and then follow Lin Luoluo inch by inch, thinking about it really gave Lin Luoluo a headache.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Zhijing came up the stairs and happened to see Lin Luoluo standing in front of the water dispenser.
"Get water!" Lin Luoluo reacted.
"Do you turn on the faucet and don't put the cup on the water?" Jiang Zhijing pointed.
Lin Luoluo hurriedly put the water cup into the water inlet: "You take care of me!" ”。
"Whatever you want!" Jiang Zhijing entered the classroom with a smile.
"Lolo!" Yu Xuan shouted.
"I haven't seen you in a long time."
"I went to the math olympiad in the city some time ago, so I'm busy."
"It's awesome! Isn't it the first place?! Lin Luoluo smiled.
"That's going to disappoint you, third place! Ha ha! Yu Xuan scratched his head embarrassedly, and this time Lin Luoluo saw the blue rope on Yu Xuan's wrist, it turned out that he had never taken it off.
"It's amazing, I probably won't even qualify." Lin Luoluo patted Yu Xuan's shoulder and said.
"The third prize money has been handed down, and I will invite you to dinner on the weekend." Yu Xuan said seriously.
"I'll invite you! I promised you. ”
"Then I'll wait for you!"
When Lin Luoluo returned to the classroom, he heard a commotion from Class 4 next door, out of curiosity, Lin Luoluo walked to the window to look, a girl stood on the podium and knocked on the blackboard and said, Lin Luoluo's eyes also shifted to the blackboard, but the four big words "Tian is shameless" made Lin Luoluo startled. Accompanied by the ridicule of the students below, the protagonist written on the blackboard is none other than Li Ya, the girl who took the lead in the ridicule is Li Ya's "good friend" who sticks together every day after leaving the small group, I saw Li Ya sitting quietly in her seat, her hat covering most of her face and not seeing her expression, such a situation Somehow Lin Luoluo thought of his former self, but in the face of such a scene, he was helpless and couldn't help at all.
"What's wrong?" Lin Luoluo, who returned to the class, was seen by Qi Yujiu.
"Li Ya was bullied in Class 4!" Lin Luoluo put down the water glass and said.
"Is this compassion for you?" Qi Yujiu said with a smile.
"Maybe a little! It's quite pathetic, you can hear the voice next door when we sit in the classroom now. ”
"And then?" Qi Yujiu suppressed her smile.
"It's nothing, it's just a little sad."
"She left us first, I don't think there's any need to feel sorry for her, poor people in the world, so you don't have to be sad to death." Jiang Zhijing continued.
Lin Luoluo didn't answer, his mood may only be clear to himself, in fact, he can understand the meaning of Qi Yujiu and Jiang Zhijing's words, if he keeps being so glassy, one day he will be hurt and bruised all over his body.
"Is it okay to eat here on the weekend?" Shen Chanjuan didn't know where to get the leaflet.
"Hot pot?" Lin Luoluo asked.
"That's right! This restaurant specializes in duck blood hot pot. Shen Chanjuan looked forward to it with excitement.
"I can!" Qi Yujiu looked at the leaflet and said.
"Set a time!" Lin Luoluo said this so that he could leave another day's time for Yu Xuan.
"Saturday night? On Sundays, it is better to return to school in the afternoon and take the weekly exam. Jiang Zhijing took the leaflet and studied it carefully.
Lin Luoluo thought in his heart that if he had time to invite Yu Xuan only at noon on Sunday, but he could make an appointment with Yu Xuan on Friday night without the morning class on Saturday recently, so Lin Luoluo was a lot more relieved.
"Luo Luo, what are you thinking?" Qi Yujiu asked.
"You've been letting go lately, what's the matter?" Qi Yujiu asked.
"You say it's empty, how can you still think about it! It's just a blank brain! Lin Luoluo smiled.
Yu Xuan had a cram school after class on Friday, so in the end he made an appointment at noon on Sunday, Lin Luoluo didn't say anything about it, except for fear that Jiang Zhijing would misunderstand, it was Qi Yujiu and Shen Chanjuan who would grasp this matter and talk about it non-stop.
After school on Friday, Jiang Zhijing sent Lin Luoluo home as usual, "Luoluo, your dad is at home today?" Jiang Zhijing said when he saw the car parked at the entrance of the community.
"Do you remember my dad's license plate? I almost forgot that I hadn't sat down for so long. Lin Luoluo followed Jiang Zhijing's line of sight and saw that it was really his father's car.
"I'm leaving, I'll see you tomorrow night." Jiang Zhijing said goodbye and left.
Lin Luoluo got on the elevator to the door of the house but was reluctant to open the door and enter, perhaps because he didn't know what his father was going to say when he first saw him after opening the door, and he couldn't even shout the word "Dad" after not communicating for too long.
"Coming back?" As soon as Lin Luoluo's door opened, his father made a noise from the living room.
"Huh? Well! ”
Lin Luoluo walked through the living room and saw his father sitting on the sofa looking at Lin Luoluo with a serious face, "Come and sit, I have something to say to you." ”
"Your teacher called me before, are you very close to the boy named Yu Xuan?" Father said in a slower tone.
"Good friends."
"I heard your teacher say he bought you snacks to eat? Isn't the money I gave you enough? Although my father was deliberately slowing down his tone, he could tell that he was already a little angry.
"I didn't ask him to buy it."
"Don't accept other people's things, people will see you think you can't afford to eat and use it, and someone will give it away, and besides, you're still a girl."
"Oh!"
"One more thing, we'll have dinner tomorrow night." Father said in a different tone.
"I have an appointment tomorrow night, can't I eat tonight?"
"I'll introduce you to someone tomorrow."
"Who?"
"An aunt."
Lin Luoluo understood what his father's meal meant, although it had been several months since his mother died, but he hadn't arrived for a year and his father was so anxious to find his next home that Lin Luoluo was very dissatisfied.
"Tomorrow night, you have dinner with friends, you can change the day." Father said.
"Which day? Am I not usually living on campus? Do I eat at school? Lin Luoluo said unhappily.
"I'm going to be home tomorrow night! I usually don't care about you! Can't you stay home for a day tomorrow! Father yelled at Lin Luoluo.
"You've decided for yourself, why are you still asking me!"
"Are you mad at me! What do you do to reassure me! Father slapped the table and pointed at Lin Luoluo and shouted.
Lin Luoluo grabbed the schoolbag on the side and slammed the door back to the room, only to hear the sound of the cup breaking from the living room, Lin Luoluo sat down against the door, thinking that sometimes it is better to be at home, not to say lonely at least quiet.
There was still a scolding voice outside the room: "There was such a thing before and you lost someone, your damn mother had to call the police at the time, if I hadn't stopped me, I would have been able to sit in my current position, do you have the current living expenses!" Something without conscience! ”
When Lin Luoluo heard this, he couldn't help but rush out of the room: "Your damn wife is dead, and you will bring another woman to the house in less than a year, who should die!" ”
These words really angered his father and gave Lin Luoluo a slap, but the slap was not on the face but on the head, Lin Luoluo shook a few steps forward unsteadily, and for a moment Lin Luoluo's eyes were dark, and now Lin Luoluo thought how good it would be if he died like this, his father went back to his room, and Lin Luoluo held on to the wall for a long time.
