Chapter 15 Treachery
The chemistry teacher was lighting a fire on the podium, his eyes were highly focused, carefully burning the test tube, and Wen Yu was not idle, playing with fire under the desk. He was fiddling with a new Zippo lighter, gorgeous metallic paint, the lighter stumbled around between his fingers, one moment the lid was opened and the fire was lit, and the other time it was extinguished, Meng Meng naturally thought that it was much better to enjoy this immature performance than to look at the chemistry teacher's staggered face, holding his chin and staring intently. Wen Yu was afraid that Meng Meng's appearance would attract the teacher, so he had no choice but to put the lighter into the sleeve of his windbreaker, glared at her by the way, and then was immediately given an eye for an eye.
As soon as she got out of class, she asked for the lighter, clumsily twisted the grinding wheel with her left index finger, and just lit the fire, she didn't hold it firmly on her down jacket and bounced it twice and fell to the ground.
"My clothes!" After Meng Meng used the chemistry study book to shoot the fire extinguisher, she found that a coin-sized hole had been burned out of the down jacket, and the fluttering feathers flew out to see the world again in her sigh.
Wen Yu helplessly fanned the feathers flying in the sky, bent down to pick up the lighter, and after the buckle cover was broken, he didn't know where it had bounced.
"Flattened ha...... Your lighter is scrapped, and I can't wear my clothes anymore. Meng Meng may think that this kind of lighter is very expensive, and it is not good to say how expensive it is, but it is definitely more expensive than cigarettes, a guy like him who fiddles with strange things all day long, can't keep kneeling on the ground holding the wreckage of the lighter and crying and wiping tears: "This is a limited edition in which country and year, how many ...... are there in the world" Thinking of this first, the soles of his feet were ready to slip away.
"Wait!" Wen Yu grabbed Meng Meng, looked at her and smiled obediently, a little helpless, "You can't forget it, it's my lighter that burned your clothes, let's go to the mall to buy another one after school." β
"No need...... Meng Meng smiled, although he said this, his body was already standing, and he was glad that he was not running too fast.
After school, a few steps out of the school gate is a bustling shopping street.
As soon as Meng Meng saw the dazzling array of clothes, he forgot what he was doing, and he also forgot that Wen Yu was accompanying him, going from house to house to look at the new clothes, as long as he could barely wear them, he had to try them out. Boys buy clothes very simply, as long as the size is right, they will buy directly, and girls have to shop around and pick and choose, but for the first time, he saw a girl who only tried on clothes but didn't buy anything.
One, two...... Thirty pieces...... Wen Yu stood aside respectfully with her schoolbag, although she didn't give an opinion, her eyes had already expressed her expression, urging her to buy one quickly, but she didn't get a response at all.
After a full circle in the girl's world, he was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she began to turn a second lap.
Wen Yu felt that the waiter in the store was picking out the number of her clothes while staring at him with complaining eyes, as if he was scolding him for his lax tutoring and letting his girlfriend out to be poor and toss. He had no choice but to stand at the door of the women's clothing store, holding Meng Meng's schoolbag, lowering his head and pretending to be texting, until she said that she was looking at a down jacket and went in to test the number. Waiting for her to come out for a long time, the waiter in the store was looking down and copying something like a barcode, Wen Yu grabbed Meng Meng's arm and ran away, she was stunned for a moment and understood what was going on, and then ran out of the back door of the mall before stopping, hunching her waist and panting: "You...... How can you do this, I didn't ask you to pay me for my clothes in the first place, you still ......"
"Anyway, I already paid the bill when you went in to try on clothes, okay." Wen Yu took out the water slip of the down jacket, looked proud, and laughed evilly, celebrating his trick again. Meng Meng looked around, and then slowly opened the down jacket, which also contained a knitted vest and a shirt, and a hang tag on the neckline: "How many clothes have you settled?" β
"In that case...... I think it's better to go out and find a small secluded restaurant to eat first, and then research what to do. He didn't expect the fake show to be really done, so he settled down, and pulled Meng Meng to walk quickly through the street, trying to remember whether there were cameras in the mall.
"Don't show up on this street lately, if you take the bus, take an extra stop to exercise."
"If the police come to you, you will say that I dragged you to run......"
"You mean, I didn't know that you were going to escape after I put two clothes in my down jacket, so I was dragged out by you......"
"That's what you mean, do you think the police can believe it?"
I can't remember how long it took to stop worrying that the police would break into the classroom and take him and Meng Meng away, Wen Yu's nerves were so nervous that he began to listen to the teacher's lecture with a weak heart. Meng Meng's face was gloomy all day, and even his big eyes lost their luster, Wen Yu felt that no matter how optimistic he was, he was worried, but when he thought that he had made her stop a lot, he actually had a trace of pride.
When the lunch break was almost over, Meng Meng said very calmly when he walked past Wen Yu: "I broke up with Ning Chi." β
He looked up at her to make sure she wasn't on the phone, or talking to Zhao Yeye. She sat back in her seat and lay down on the table, not waiting for any response at all. Her expression just now was inexplicable, as if she was unreasonably blaming him for beating the mandarin duck, but he didn't care about Yu Jie and ran to call Zhao Yeye to comfort her, and ran to buy her milk tea.
When he returned to the classroom, Zhao Yeye, Zhuang Xiaopang, Jin Ting, and Dabai had already surrounded him, and Meng Meng seemed to be in a relaxed mood.
"Your milk tea."
Everyone saw that Wen Yu only came back with a milk tea, and the commotion dispersed.
The eating atmosphere in this class is like a primitive society, if they didn't see Meng Meng in a bad mood, the milk tea that was sucked by one person might not leave Meng Meng's share. The most terrifying thing is the little girl at the table in front of Wen Yu, who is delicate and well-behaved, but she robbed him of his rations three times.
On the first night, when she saw him open the lunch box, she leaned in to her face, unintentionally dripped a drop of saliva, and then happily took his dinner.
The next night he smiled and said to her, "I am immune to the beauty of the fragrance." But before she could finish speaking, she sneezed into the bento box with a thunderous sneez.
On the third night, when she was sneezing and was in the spring breeze, he also sneezed at the lunch box.
The brutality of the snatching of food can be seen.
Compared with this, the appearance of Meng Meng, who has a perverse temperament, holding milk tea and sucking out of his nose, not only does not disgust him, but makes him feel cute.
"Buy me papaya-flavored ones later." Meng Meng swayed a few times, leaving only a few shy plastic cups of beans, and shrunk his neck into his new down jacket, his expression of satisfaction like a carefree cat nestled in a quilt.
"All received...... However, papaya enlarges breasts. As long as he sees her in a better mood, he will never let go of any opportunity to joke.
"I'd love to!" She moved her eyebrows defiantly, and deliberately puffed up her chest and stared at him for three seconds, then lay on the table and laughed.
Wen Yu always felt that girls frowned, and even the most beautiful when tears rippled, but he still liked Meng Meng's happy posture.
He accepted to run errands when she wanted to drink milk tea for no reason, and he wanted to bring one to Zhao Yeye. Each time, he brought back three copies, and the remaining one was given to Zhuang Xiaopang, who floated next to Zhao Yeye like a plankton. Zhuang Xiaopang was very grateful to Wen Yu, so that Wen Yu never had the opportunity to explain that the milk tea shop was engaged in activities to buy two get one free, and he never drank milk tea.
During the break in class that night, Wen Yu successfully grabbed the unified instant noodles that the little girl in the front seat had just bought, ran all the way to Fan Wu's class to soak in water, sucked and ate a little bit, and came back patting his stomach.
Jin Ting was standing at the back door blocking the way, so he prepared to go to the front door.
"Wen Yu, I want you to accompany me to a place." She smiled and waved at him, her voice was clear, but he felt harsh and stood still looking at her, noncommittal. He thought she was a complicated girl, and he remembered that when he first saw her, he thought she was the youngest girl in the class, and when he saw her ID card, he realized that she was three years older than him. Boys mature late, and when they meet girls older than themselves, he admits that there is a sense of oppression. Also, this sense of oppression is even more - Wen Yu feels that she is an out-and-out murderer, even if she is not punished by the law, she must be responsible for the girl's death, and at least she should be morally condemned.
"I'm going to buy milk tea for Meng Meng."
"Didn't you just come back from outside?"
"She suddenly wanted to drink milk tea."
"You didn't even see her, could it be an electrocardiogram?"
"What are you going to do to find Dabai." So, Wen Yu refused more directly, because the girl who jumped off the building, he hated mice, and then Jin Ting, and then began to be estranged from Da Bai a lot. In the eyes of many people in the class, Jin Ting and Da Bai are a model couple, and he feels that the world is very unfair, but he still follows Jin Ting.
He wondered if she would take him to the rooftop, but ended up at a CD supermarket.
She may just be looking for a companion and wander between the pop music shelves as soon as she enters the store. He leaned silently on the alarm bar at the door, staring at this girl, if he didn't know her, it would be a kind of luck to linger with her, and he must even have the urge to go up and talk to her, but he just wanted to know what she was planning at the moment.
He suddenly thought of the girl in front of him as Meng Meng, and quietly flipped through the tracks behind the card box, either smiling or laughing, making a scene of his own.
When he came back to his senses, Jin Ting had already settled the account and stood outside the door and turned around to greet him.
The granddaughter of the major general was paid by credit card, which made Wen Yu even more cramped.
On the way here, the weather was quite mild, but sleet blew in the middle of the way back. Jin Ting tightened her scarf, then shrunk her neck, leaned on Wen Yu, and took the opportunity to wrap her arms around him.
He didn't push her away violently just because he had a bottom line for treating girls, and he didn't have the courage to do that, like a poisonous snake wrapped around his arm, time was hard for every minute. The moment she walked into the classroom, Jin Ting jumped away from him very lightly, trotting to Dabai to show off the loot she bought.
"I think Jin Ting is a goblin." Wen Yu sat in the classroom wet, unable to hear what the teacher was talking about in front of him at all, and a sullen breath ran rampant in his chest, and he could only vaguely talk to Meng Meng to vent his emotions.
"I know you don't like her as a person." Meng Meng was looking down to trace something, as if she had seen him come back with her arm without saying a word. She may simply think that the rat gave up school and joined the army in a fit of anger because of Jin Ting's decisive rejection, but she didn't know that Jin Ting was more or less carrying a young life on her back.
Just as Wen Yu was about to remain silent, Meng Meng asked instead, "Where did you take her just now?" β
"A CD supermarket, I know she loves music." He deliberately said the tone of his voice very ambiguously.
"Oh, I advise you not to overdo it." Meng Meng's tone was cold, but there was a trace of stability and joy hidden in it.
"I just know that if you like it, you have to fight for it, don't die and regret it." He couldn't figure out who he was saying this, and he looked at Meng Meng's expression in a daze, still calm as water, as if he was telling something that had nothing to do with her. Whether Meng Meng pointed out that he couldn't catch up with a girl like Jin Ting, or that he would be compared to Dabai. Or Meng Meng has the same eyes as everyone else after all, but he simply thinks that he has a good relationship with the rat, and wants to fight for a breath from it.
If you really want to fight for a breath, Wen Yu also knows who it is for.
Wen Yu felt that sometimes the distance between him and Meng Meng was very far, and he could not see her face clearly when he raised his hand. He glanced at the first row, and Jin Ting was also looking back at him, starry eyes and red lips, close at hand. This also figured out why Meng Meng didn't see him all night, but he knew about him and Jin Ting going out, and Jin Ting must have told Meng Meng about it in advance. On the road in the rain and snow, he also guessed that Jin Ting would make further intimate moves to help Meng Meng test whether he was dedicated. It's not the first time he's been exhausted by a girl, but it's the first time he's felt the horror of a girl.
A woman's heart is a monkey's golden rod.
Jin Ting was still there looking at him, she was a girl who could stare at a boy for a few minutes, and that ethereal look had an incredible stability.
Wen Yu simply lowered his head and continued to analyze there, "There are three boys with whom Jin Ting has a relationship: Mouse, Da Bai and me (I was stopped by a melon once on the way back). There are three things that these three people have in common: they are all boys, they all live in the same room for military training, and they usually have a cold morality. With such an analysis, he felt Jin Ting's horror even more, he wanted to tell Da Bai what he saw on the rooftop, but he was afraid that Da Bai would not react after hearing it and even relayed it to Jin Ting. He felt that maybe she approached him for no reason to remind Da Bai that there were still many boys coveting her, or to remind Meng Meng that there was another girl who was also very concerned, and most likely to remind him not to tell anyone what he saw on the rooftop.
Was the rat somehow forced away by her? Finding that the world was full of fog, Wen Yu fell into silence.
He fell into loneliness and spent the rest of his evening class in a coma.
Twilight spring, sunset, green hill slopes, smoke from afar. He and a woman whose face he couldn't see clearly were walking along a stream in the suburbs, and all he knew was that she was wearing two braids, and her pale pink dress matched her shapely figure. β¦β¦ The long darkness descended again, and the woman's face became clearer, with starry eyes and red lips, as close as a hand.
When Wen Yu screamed and stood up, everyone in the classroom looked at him, and he didn't let out that heartless laugh because he couldn't figure out the situationβhe would rather hear some lively noises to prove that he had successfully escaped back to the world. He looked at the first row with apprehension, Jin Ting's seat was empty, and on the other side, Da Bai was not there.
Because of the rain that night and frightened, Wen Yu lay at home and took fever-reducing medicine for a week. The anesthetic ingredients in the medicine made him sleep deeply, but he no longer dreamed.
Zhuang Xiaopang will send the same text message every two days to greet him.
Meng Meng would call him several times a day, sometimes for more than an hour. Wen Yu's mother found out and told him, "Get well quickly, a big boy is embarrassed to always let girls pay a lot of phone bills." Looking through the call logs, he knew that Meng Meng should say something else besides talking.
She called him again in the night, "Did you sleep?" β
"Not yet, what's wrong?"
"I didn't sleep either. What are you doing? β
"I'm trying to sleep. What about you? β
"Thinking about someone."
Thinking of Meng Meng's indifference when he said to himself, Wen Yu couldn't help but have an evil thought in his heart, especially after hearing Meng Meng's words, he immediately followed: "Me too, the horoscope book says that if someone is thinking about you, you will have insomnia." β
He knew that Meng Meng's heart must be pounding at the moment, and the hand holding the phone did not obey. Sure enough, seeing that there was no reply, she asked again, "Could it be me what you are thinking about now?" A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he immediately replied: "Of course I don't dare to like you, I'm afraid that many boys will fight with me." I actually like Zhao Yeye, now that I think about it, it's been a little interesting since I was in junior high school, you and her are so good maybe you can help me. β
There was no sound on the other end of the phone.
"But didn't you say that Zhuang Xiaopang likes her?" Meng Meng finally asked rhetorically.
"I feel it, there is no way." Wen Yugan laughed twice.
"Well, I'll do my best to help you pursue her." Her tone became low, and she hung up the phone.
