Chapter 222: "The Hidden Paper Crane"
With such emotions, at the moment, the environment in which the two were alone felt unusually ambiguous, and Lin Zi didn't know what to say to him for a while.
Just watched his eyelashes droop, as if he was concentrating on sucking the straw over there, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly, like an invisible elf dancing on them.
Lin Zi suddenly didn't dare to look at him, so he took the paper on the plate and folded it around.
She finally folded a very fat paper crane, Chen Hui suddenly sneered, let go of the straw, and said, "What is this, ugly duckling?" ”
Lin Zi felt very depressed, although he was fat, he was also a paper crane.
He took the crane and folded it again, "You folded it wrong." ”
The paper crane he folded again was really beautiful, and when he went to the bathroom, Lin Zi struggled for a long time, and finally secretly picked up the paper crane and hid it in his coat pocket.
As soon as Chen Hui hid it, he came back and beckoned me: "Let's go." ”
Leaving the warm fast food restaurant and standing on the cold street, he took out snake oil and handed it to himself, it was a small glass screw-cap bottle, the bottle was very chic and exquisite.
The snake oil inside looked yellow and half-solidified like a paste.
Lin Zi subconsciously said "thank you".
He seemed to pause for a few seconds and finally said, "So be it, I'll take the subway back." ”
"Then I'll go too."
"Goodbye!"
"Goodbye!"
Lin Zi turned around and walked forward slowly, putting his hands in his coat pockets. On one side is a bottle of snake oil, hard and hard; In the other pocket is the paper crane, soft.
Lin Zi walked a few steps and suddenly heard someone calling her name, she turned her head to see that he didn't know when he caught up, and smiled at herself, revealing neat snow-white teeth: "I forgot to tell you, Happy New Year tomorrow, and your scarf is very good-looking." ”
Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, so Lin Zi also smiled with relief: "Happy New Year, so is yours." ”
Lin Zi stood there and watched him turn and leave, merging into the hurried flow of people.
His steps were very big and he walked very fast, although the weather was gloomy, Lin Zi always felt that there was a beam of sunlight in the clouds that hit him, making him shine, and among so many pedestrians, he could see his back at a glance.
Back home, Lin Zi quietly took out the paper crane from his clothes pocket, it was already crumpled and crumpled, Lin Zi carefully smoothed its wings little by little, and then sandwiched it in the diary.
Lin Zi used to like to write a diary, but later, the diary was always lost, so she stopped writing, so she used a pen to write down today's date on the paper crane gently, stroke by stroke.
The sound of the TV in the living room is loud, the bedroom window is facing the driveway of the community, there are cars driving in, the sound is muffled, and everything around is noisy and trivial.
That Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin Zi felt that something was faintly blooming in his heart.
After the start of the school year, Lin Zi's "The Merchant of Venice" lost by a narrow number of votes to another group's "Romeo and Juliet", and it was Tong Yan who played Juliet.
As his name suggests, Tong Yanren is beautiful and generous, pure and lovely, and is the representative of Lin Zi's English class in his class, and has represented the school to participate in the city's middle school students' English speech competition.
Some people also say that she is the school flower, but Lin Zi has quite a few beautiful girls in their school, so it has not been decided who the school flower is.
But her role as Juliet made the whole class slap red, which was really wonderful, and the limelight completely suppressed the male classmate who played Romeo.
Later, the British old lady merged strongly, and readjusted the personnel to "Romeo and Juliet", Chen Hui played Romeo, and the childlike face was still Juliet.
This play was quite a sensation back then, with handsome men and beautiful women, elegant and standard English pronunciation, and once became a reserved program for performances during the visit of foreign guests and friendship schools in the school for two years.
The chilblains on Lin Zi's face have been cured, the snake oil is very effective, although the taste is a little tangy, but after applying it a few times, the effect has been seen, and before the bottle of snake oil is used up, her chilblains have long disappeared.
After the start of the new semester, the seat was adjusted, and Chen Hui no longer sat behind Lin Zi.
Ten minutes after class, he still went to play basketball, and he also had a lot of extracurricular activities, rehearsing "Romeo and Juliet" with Tong Yan and participating in the Olympiad......
Lin Zi's whole mind is also on studying, and the college entrance examination will be held in the second half of the year, and occasionally Lin Zi still borrows English notes from him, because the notes he writes are neat and complete, and many people in the class ask him to borrow them and copy them.
Lin Zi likes math class the most, because Lao Ben's favorite student who teaches mathematics is Lin Zi, and Lao Ben's most indifferent student is Chen Hui.
Because Chen Hui has good math scores, but he is a disobedient student.
As soon as Lao Ben talked about the example questions, he called Lin Zi and Chen Hui to answer them on the blackboard first.
They will always solve the same problem in different ways.
Lin Zi's answer is always the safest, while Chen Hui's answer is always the simplest, he often uses whimsical steps in order to be lazy, like a dangerous move in martial arts.
And Lin Zi follows the rules, and the chance of making mistakes is small.
Lao Ben likes to watch the two of them compete on the same stage, as if he is watching a good show.
If Lin Zi solved it better and faster than Chen Hui, he would praise himself with a smile.
If Chen Hui still solves it well, he will put his hands aside, staring at Lin Zi with his eyes tightly, watching her write hard, as if she is an old monster and master with high martial arts skills in the martial arts, for fear that his proud lover will lose to others.
In fact, Lin Zi also likes to do problems with Chen Hui, standing side by side in front of the blackboard, it is quiet below, he can only hear the chalk squeaking on the blackboard, and the corner of his eye glimpses the other party's line of conversions are popping up quickly, and a kind of pleasure sprouts in his chest.
Lin Zi is always bent on winning against him, but most of the time they are evenly divided, and occasionally he wins or loses more than he wins.
At one point, when they had finished their questions, they went back to their seats.
Lao Ben said very proudly: "Pairing the two of them is the most perfect solution." ”
In fact, he made a slip of the tongue, but the whole class burst into laughter, and Lin Zi instantly turned red and couldn't raise his head for a long time.
This sentence was popular in the class for a long time, and even the outer class knew that Lao Ben had said this famous saying.
However, few classmates joked about Lin Zi and Chen Hui, probably thinking that it was impossible between them, everyone knew that they and Chen Hui were young, and they had always gotten along with brothers, and no one would think of that level at all, but it was more likely that they subconsciously felt that Lin Zi and Chen Hui didn't look like a good match.
Later, Lin Zi thought about it carefully, Chen Hui was outgoing and smart, while Lin Zi was a good student who was too decent.
However, some people often joke about Chen Hui and Tong Yan.
Lin Zi felt that everyone must have been too deep into the play, and they hadn't come out of Romeo and Juliet's play, or maybe they subconsciously felt that they could be worthy of Chen Hui, so they had to be at the school flower level, such as Tongyan.
The girls also always joked about the childish face: "Juliet, where is your Romeo?" ”
Sometimes Chen Hui and a group of boys stood in the corridor, and when they saw Tong Yan passing downstairs, a group of boys would also coax: "Oh! Juliet, Romeo is here! ”
Tong Yan is very generous, she never gets angry when she makes such jokes, at most she raises her face and smiles at the bunch of boys upstairs.
She has a good personality, a gentle temper, and many friends, not only many girls have a good relationship with her, but many boys are also very good friends with her.
On Chen Hui's birthday, he invited the whole class to eat Pizza Hut because he got the Olympiad bonus.
The head teacher was overjoyed and felt that there was no problem for him to escort the famous school, so he also opened the net and happily went.
It was the most lively party in the class, and it was more lively than having a casual meal after the college entrance examination.
Because the college entrance examination is coming soon, it is rare to be able to jump out of the study day after day for a short time, and indulge yourself freely.
After eating Pizza Hut, the head teacher and several teachers left first.
Teenage boys and girls always like to do things that adults don't let them do.
So they quietly switched to barbecue restaurants, not for food, but for drinking.
The boys secretly drink beer, and the girls drink coke.
Lin Zi had forgotten what he had eaten that day, and he remembered a classmate nicknamed "Ah San", who pulled Chen Hui vigorously to toast him again.
Chen Hui was poured several cups by him, crying and laughing and had to be willing to drink again, Tong Yan relieved him: "Don't let Chen Hui drink, I'll be really drunk later." ”
Ah San immediately showed a painful look on his face, covered his face and learned Juliet's tone, "ORomeo, Romeo, whereforeartthou Romeo?"
Everyone was amused by Ah San's sudden imitation and strange pronunciation.
So, Ah San turned his head to look at Tong Yan, "Since Romeo doesn't drink it, then Juliet will drink it instead." ”
Seeing this, the boys began to coax with the strength of the wine.
Tong Yan looked down-and-out and generous, took the cup, "Drink it." ”
Before he could drink it, he was stopped by Chen Hui, "Don't bully girls, I'll drink it." ”
Chen Hui craned his neck and slowly finished the large glass of beer.
The surrounding classmates were coaxing, the girls were applauding, the boys were whistling, and after he finished drinking, Ah San looked at Chen Hui with a smile on his face, "Not bad, very gentlemanly." ”
Lin Zi sat in the corner, eating the roasted chicken wings, without speaking, the chicken wings were very spicy, so spicy that Lin Zi could only drink water cup after cup, and gradually felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.
It's like the paper crane that was hidden, only she knew.
It was quite late when everyone dispersed that day, and they went home in twos and threes, Lin Zi and all his classmates almost didn't stop by, and they didn't tell their families to let people pick him up, so they hurriedly wanted to catch the last subway, who knew that Chen Hui suddenly caught up and said, "I'll be with you." ”
Lin Zi was a little stunned, she remembered that Chen Hui's house and her own family were in two directions.
"Aren't you going the other way?"
"Today I'm going to my uncle's house. Okay, let's go, or you won't be able to catch up. ”
