The warm winter sun is the most soothing.
Although he experienced some episodes on the way to "suicide", he didn't know that he had changed, but he didn't want to live like this anymore.
Nan Huaifeng was wearing a slightly white blue school uniform as usual, and after washing his face in front of the mirror, he seemed to think of something, and smiled at the boy with a piece of gauze on his head in the mirror. He packed his homework and school bag, and that handkerchief? He glanced back at the portrait of the man in the living room, and left the house for school.
On the way to school, the classmates on the side saw the gauze on his head and were talking about it in private.
"Could it be that Pumpkin was injured in a fight with someone?"
"Shhh
……
Two girls, who were also wearing blue school uniforms, laughed quietly together, quietly discussing why Nan Huaifeng would put gauze
Nan Huaifeng likes to be silent at school on weekdays, whether it is when others greet him or ask him about his living situation, he always keeps his mouth shut, and just responds with a nod or shake his head. Even if he really can't bear the situation, he can only look at him or express his thoughts with practical actions. So in private, someone gave him a nickname, "Pumpkton".
Paper can't hold the fire, in fact, he already knew about this nickname, and even knew who it came from. At first, I still felt quite annoyed, but gradually I simply turned a deaf ear and took it as a deaf ear.
He had no choice but to quietly speed up his pace and distance himself from them because of these classmates' private comments on him.
When he came to the door of the classroom, many female classmates looked back at him, their eyes were sincerely envious, Shen Qing's seat was on the edge of the window in the first row, she smiled playfully, bent a pair of eyebrows, and winked at Nan Huaifeng with bright eyes.
"I didn't see it, Nan Huaifeng is still a big hero."
"Tut-tut, you just found out? I could see that he was different. ”
"Bah, you can shut up, I don't know who took a bite of a pumpkin before? It also makes others unhappy. ”
……
Among the female classmates in the class, some of them were upset about Nan Huaifeng, and some of them laughed at this matter. The boys shouted at the "initiator" Shen Qing, and some people beat their chests and sighed to the sky. They only hated that they hadn't met such a thing, and they hadn't met Shen Qing.
Seeing this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he even had the idea of turning his head and running away.
He never wanted to be a hero, nor did he think about "making a name for himself" in his class. At that time, there was only one thought in his mind, since he had met him, if he stood by and watched, I was afraid that he would be tormented by his conscience in the future, right? He doesn't think he's a bad guy, but he doesn't think he's a bad guy either.
He straightened his expression and calmed his mind. He went to the desk in the corner of his last row of classrooms, put down his bag, and began to organize his homework and books.
In the morning, it is the head teacher Gao Ning's Chinese morning self-study, which is usually memorization and recitation. Nan Huaifeng pulled out the language book from the desk, but he found that there seemed to be something in the book?
It's a note:
"Hee-hee, Nan Huaifeng, thank you for saving me yesterday. This morning I told everyone about your bravery, don't be angry, I'm just afraid that they will misunderstand you and fight with your classmates. Well, don't be angry, the way you frown doesn't look good at all. ”
He glanced at Shen Qing without leaving a trace, but found that Shen Qing was looking at him with a smile. He withdrew his gaze and shook his head. Seeing Shen Qing staring at Nan Huaifeng with a smile, a group of boys in the class felt itchy in their hearts, wishing that they were Nan Huaifeng. He put away the note, folded it carefully, and placed it in the pocket of his school uniform with the handkerchief.
There was still a while before class, after Nan Huaifeng sorted out his homework and books, he just quietly looked out the window, people came and went, and after watching for more than ten years, he didn't know what he was looking at or thinking. Regarding Shen Qing's gaze and the discussions of his classmates, he chose to ignore them.
Nan Huaifeng thinks that he is a boring person, and he is indeed a boring person. He didn't think that anyone other than the man who had died could come into his own life.
After Gao Ning came to the classroom, the teenagers and girls who were originally chattering about Shen Qing and Nan Huaifeng returned to their respective seats and were silent. Although Gao Ning usually makes people feel amiable, well, after class, too, but it is the same when inviting parents.
Gao Ning stepped onto the podium, but did not open the book. He cleared his throat: "Good morning, classmates. ”
"Stand Up"
"Hello teacher!"
Gao Ning propped his hands on the podium, facing the students under the podium, and said in a deep voice: "There was a big accident yesterday, I believe you have heard of it, so I will make a long story short." Yesterday, on the way home from school, there was an incident of bullying students by young people in society, but fortunately, our Shen Qing was rescued by Nan Huaifeng, who was passing by. ”
At this moment, he suddenly looked at Nan Huaifeng, with a strange expression, a teasing look in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Big hero, is your head okay?" ”
The boys burst into laughter.
And the female classmates in the class are like the second monk who is confused. According to common sense, shouldn't it be encouraged, applauded?
Nan Huaifeng's face was as usual and he shook his head.
Gao Ning no longer supported the podium with his hands, clapped with both hands, smiled, and said loudly: "Students, let us welcome the hero of our class, Nan Huaifeng, with applause." ”
For a while, the audience applauded thunderously and endured.
This time it was Nan Huaifeng's turn to look strange, he was too uncomfortable with this kind of atmosphere, he turned his head and glanced at Shen Qing, but found that Shen Qing was holding up his thumb, as if he was encouraging him. He blushed a little for the first time, and soon became the same person who was not approachable again. He simply lowered his head and stopped looking at them.
Gao Ning waved his hand and motioned for his classmates to stop. I saw him continue: "Regarding this matter, the school decided to contact the Municipal Public Security Bureau to rectify the vicinity of the school after a meeting. At the same time, this afternoon, the school will commend and reward Nan Huaifeng on the radio. I hope that all students will earnestly learn the advantages of Nan Huaifeng and help each other at the same time. However, it is not advisable to stand up alone until the moment of crisis. Finally, on the way home from school, try to walk in a group and pay attention to your own safety. ”
The audience burst into applause again.
In the end, this young class teacher, who looked gentle and elegant, looked at Nan Huaifeng with playful eyes.
After Nan Huaifeng noticed Gao Ning's gaze, he only felt a tightness in his heart, there must be something "bad".
Gao Ning opened the Chinese textbook, explained the texts that should be reviewed, and asked the students to recite and read aloud independently.
Then let Nan Huaifeng go to the office with him.
Although Nan Huaifeng was puzzled, he still got up and slowly followed Gao Ning to the office.
In the office, there are quite a few teachers who are busy walking around and dealing with the trivial matters of their respective classes. But the teenager in the blue school uniform had gauze on his head...... It seemed to be so conspicuous, and for a while, they all stopped to look at the young man, who stood in place and scratched his head in embarrassment. The teachers looked at each other and smiled, and went to their respective jobs again, no longer embarrassing the teenager.
Looking at the gauze on this student's head, it is clear at a glance that it is indeed "a hero from ancient times", it is so good to be young! And this boy who stretched out his hand and scratched his head was obviously the student who acted bravely yesterday. It's mediocre, but a pair of eyes make people feel deep. This is everyone's first impression of Nan Huaifeng.
Gao Ning took Nan Huaifeng to his desk, looked at him and said, "Nan Huaifeng, the school wants to commend you for your righteousness and courage in the afternoon, so I need you to make a speech." ”
Nan Huaifeng was silent for a while, and said coldly: "Can you not go?" ”
Gao Ning smiled: "No." ”
Nan Huaifeng only felt that his head was big for a while, and let him, a person who did not speak more than ten words a day, go to the radio room to speak in front of the teachers and students of the whole school? For him, it was harder than climbing to the sky.
Gao Ning knew his character and knew that it would be too difficult for him. But isn't this a change for him, a help for him to get out of the shadow of being abandoned since childhood?
He spoke slowly: "Don't worry, it's just a few simple words, I wrote the speech for you, not many words, just a few words." Your father has called me a few times, and he doesn't want you to live a lonely life like this, he wants you to live a simple and happy life like the rest of your classmates......"
As he spoke, he took out a meticulously handwritten speech from a drawer and handed it to him.
But Nan Huaifeng didn't reach out to take it, but his head was lowered, and he felt as if his eyes had entered the sand, slightly sour.
Gao Ning continued to whisper: "I know you understand what I mean, you are actually not in a bad mind, but you don't think these can help you anything. But that's not the case, in fact, people can live a very meaningful life every day, but you need to adjust your current mentality, and you have to learn to slowly try to accept and change. Trust me, you will feel the underlying goodness of this world. It's not a lot, but it's warm enough. ”
After a long time
Nan Huaifeng finally raised his head, closed his eyes, and said hoarsely, "Okay." ”
He picked up the speech from his desk and quietly turned back to the classroom.
Gao Ning watched the young man pass by the door, in the sun, the rickety figure seemed to be slightly straighter?
The young male head teacher touched the remaining stubble on his chin. Then he smiled sincerely, he really hoped that this young man could open his heart as soon as possible and live in the sun.
In fact, Nan Huaifeng didn't feel too much about Gao Ning's words, but when he thought of the man's last words before he died, he didn't want the man who had been busy all his life and didn't ask for anything, and he left this world, and there were still many unsatisfactory things.
He put away the speech, silently returned to his seat, and began to read it softly.
Before I knew it, the bell for the end of the morning self-study class had already sounded. The teenagers cheered and successfully survived the sleepy morning.
When the students left the classroom one after another and went to the cafeteria for breakfast, Nan Huaifeng just sat silently in the classroom alone.
He tirelessly continued to read the speech, and he didn't want to make people laugh out loud because of the intermittent speech for the first time.
Shen Qing is a day student, so she brings her own breakfast every day. She pulled out a pink lunch box from her bag, and a bottle of milk. The lunch box contained two eggs and a bean paste bag.
When she was about to open the lunch box to eat, out of the corner of her eye, she found that Nan Huaifeng hadn't gone to breakfast, as if she was reading something? So, she came to the seat next to Nan Huaifeng with breakfast.
She asked softly, "Nan Huaifeng, have you had breakfast?" ”
When Nan Huaifeng heard this, he just turned his head to look at her, and silently put away the speech. He nodded, he was also a day student, but unlike everyone else, he was used to eating breakfast at home. Then he took out the note and handkerchief from his pocket and reached out to hand it to Shen Qing.
Shen Qing lowered her head, looked at the note and handkerchief, blushed and said, "What I gave away, how can there be any reason to take it back?" ”
The boy was silent, but still stretched out his hand. The girl blushed and bowed her head, not reaching out to take it. The winter sun shines through the window, shining on the slightly pale face of the boy and the red face of the girl. It's as if time stands still like this, and it's so good to be young.
After a while, the girl couldn't resist him, and her face flushed because she was angry or shy, and she was annoyed and angry, but she just whispered, "How can you do this? ”
Although he didn't understand the feelings of men and women, he felt that Shen Qing was a little unhappy. Finally, he didn't insist anymore and withdrew his hand. I just didn't look at her again.
The girl puffed out her cheeks and looked at him angrily. At this moment, looking at the young man looking out the window, there was something indescribable in his eyes. She seemed to have suddenly softened her heart, and she thought she was going too far?
Finally she got up and left the classroom in a huff, leaving an egg and a bottle of milk on his desk. She thought that he must have "said" that he had eaten breakfast because he was embarrassed, right? This bastard doesn't want to say a word to himself? Although she doesn't wear makeup, she doesn't seem to be very ugly, right? Otherwise, how could so many male classmates look at her in a daze on weekdays.
When Nan Huaifeng noticed that Shen Qing was leaving, he turned his head silently, only to see a bottle of milk and an egg on the table?
He was stunned for a moment, probably because she thought she was lying and didn't eat breakfast, right? He gently slipped the breakfast, the handkerchief, and the note into his bag.
She didn't want him to pay it back, well, then keep it and give it back to her when she needed it that day.
In the early winter morning, the boy owed the girl an egg, a bottle of milk, a note, and a handkerchief.
