Chapter 10: Heart

"Today's essay contest, you have to work hard." Xiang Qingmin tidied up Du Ruo's clothes, pinched Du Ruo's clean smile, and handed him a rice ball wrapped in two bags.

"Don't worry, I will." Du Ruo smiled and hugged the girl, while biting the rice ball, and left in a hurry.

The school bus was already waiting at the school gate early, and Teacher Chen was anxiously waiting outside the bus door, and when he saw Du Ruo's figure finally appearing from the corner, he hurriedly beckoned Du Ruo to run over.

"What's the matter with you! What time is it? The head teacher pointed to his watch with some anger, the hands had already turned to seven o'clock, and it was time to leave.

"Hey, hey, I'm late." Du Ruo smiled apologetically, and when he saw that the head teacher was still preaching, he hurriedly got on the bus and found a place to sit down.

"It really is!" The head teacher shook his head helplessly, and then followed.

The bus slowly left the school gate and drove into the distance.

"Yo, Du Ruo, you're here, haha." Someone behind Du Ruo greeted him, and Du Ruo looked back and saw that it was Wang Bin, the head of the organization department of the Literary Society.

"You're going to participate!" Fang Qingying, the president on the side, said with a smile.

Almost all the old members of the literary club are already here, at least the predecessors who Du Ruo has some impressions have already seen it.

Du Ruo smiled and nodded at several people.

"There's no way, I was forcibly pulled by the head teacher to make up the quota."

"Hehe, so many people are rushing to want this place, and they are still making up the numbers, who are you bluffing!" Wang Bin smiled evilly on the side, piercing Du Ruo's low-key.

The head teacher heard Du Ruo's words, glared at him fiercely, and reluctantly moved his gaze back to the mobile phone screen.

……

"I announce that the 2020 City Secondary School Student Live Essay Contest is now open, all participating students, please note that the paper used for the competition is already on your desk, and there is no word limit for this competition, so if you need additional paper, please raise your hand to report."

"Next, I would like to announce the theme of this essay contest. The theme of this competition is only one word: heart. Please write your own topic, but please remember the theme of 'heart', do not deviate from the topic, you can start writing now, there is no time limit. ”

The old man on the stage put down the microphone and watched all the students in the audience fall into deep thought, so he discussed with the examiner on the side: "Lao Wang, is our theme a little difficult to write this time?" These little children who don't know the world are estimated to be stumped on this word. ”

"Lao Wang" tapped his fingers on the table one by one, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Sooner or later, they will understand, it is better to let them think about it in advance, anyway, this time there is no time limit, and it will be possible for me to think about it for a day."

"Lao Wang" closed his eyes and recuperated, the old man shook his head helplessly, he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and at this time a few invigilators were here, and the old man slipped out to find his favorite baked cakes.

……

"Heart." Du Ruo supported his cheek with one hand, and the end of the pen kept knocking on the table, not knowing what to write.

"It's no wonder that in addition to the people in the literature club, the school has sent seniors from the third year of high school to participate in the competition. That's a bit of a difficult question. ”

I don't know why, Lin Youlan's figure still appeared in Du Ruo's mind. On that day, Du Ruo finally decided that he didn't like it anymore.

"It's not a sudden decision for anyone to leave you. People's hearts are slowly getting colder, the leaves are gradually turning yellow, and the story is slowly written to the end. Du Ruo remembered a passage in Yishu's "If the Wall Could Talk", and when he saw this passage during the winter vacation, he suddenly understood why he suddenly gave up on Lin Youlan.

"And love becomes unlove because of too many disappointments."

Du Ruo shook his head, he is only a 16-year-old boy, even if he knows this truth, when has he ever loved someone.

"What is love?" Du Ruo thought about it and felt that he was off topic.

"People have hearts, and they think. The reason why man is above other animals is because we have love and hate. Isn't the heart love, maybe this theme is to talk about the heart of human love, the love of family, the love of love, the love of friendship. ”

The more Du Ruo thought about it, the more reasonable he felt.

When a man has a heart, he will love him. No matter who you are, if you haven't loved someone in this life, then his life really shouldn't be complete.

"Whose heart will my heart remain?" Du Ruo wrote the beginning in the first line.

He remembered Xiang Qingmin, the girl who suddenly walked into his world.

"Sanmao once said that a person must have at least one dream and a reason to be strong. If the heart does not have a place to dwell, it is wandering everywhere. ”

……

After school in the evening, the little fat man found Du Ruo.

"Boss, let's play ball together!" The little fat man's newly bought basketball arrived, and he excitedly hugged one hand around his waist, and couldn't wait to go to the basketball court.

"You're not eating?" Du Ruo looked at the fat on the little fat man's waist that was squeezed out by the basketball suspiciously.

"Hehe, I had someone bring rice balls, the kind with two eggs! I've bought the boss's share, let's go, boss! ”

"Okay, I'll go talk to Xiang Qingmin."

……

On the basketball court, the glow is gentle.

"Boss, why are you with that Xiang Qingmin so soon?" When the two were resting, the little fat man couldn't help but ask.

"That's it." Du Ruo thought for a while, "I don't know, but I like her a lot." ”

"Boss, congratulations!" The little fat man smiled happily, "You've finally met someone you like again!" ”

Du Ruo smiled, yes.

……

During the evening self-study time, Du Ruo had already finished today's homework, took out a thick hardcover, and opened it gently.

"The current love is not the same as before. In the past, people always knew each other and got to know each other slowly, and if they were satisfied, they would always be together for a long time until they got married. ”

Du Ruo wrote his diary in his notebook word by word.

"Nowadays, people always like to be together after they have a hazy affection for each other, and then they start to get to know each other."

"So how long can we be together, I have to resign myself to fate."

"Du Ruo! What are you writing about? Xiang Qingmin suddenly pounced on Du Ruo's back, startling Du Ruo.

Du Ruo slowly put away the diary and said, "Write a diary, stupid, why did you come here?" ”

"It's time for class! You're stupid, you call me stupid every day, what if you really say you're stupid! Xiang Qingmin touched Du Ruo's hair and joked with a grin.

"Stupid is stupid, isn't there still me." Du Ruo smiled, gently pushed Xiang Qingmin away, and everyone watched, how can you say that there are also good students who love to study here, but they can't bring bad learning atmosphere.

"Hmph, do you think I'm a three-year-old! If I'm stupid, you won't want me. Xiang Qingmin crossed his hands on his waist.

"Isn't it okay to spoil you as a three-year-old?"

Xiang Qingmin was shy, and suddenly threw himself into Du Ruo's arms.

"Alas. Also posted that picture, why can't I find a girlfriend. Du Ruo's tablemate covered his face, he really couldn't stand the sweet and greasy little couple next to him, but he was also envious from the bottom of his heart.

Xueba's table thought about it, and felt that he was no worse than Du Ruo, he must have studied hard enough, so he encouraged himself, took out his books, and kept taking notes in his textbooks according to the tutorial book.

"But you have to keep going! I remember that there were only more than 700 of us in total, and your final exam was ranked more than 700! You still call me stupid! Xiang Qingmin raised his head proudly, "I'm more than five hundred people in line!" There are 200 more than you! ”

"Hey, yes, yes." Du Ruo smiled helplessly, as soon as he mentioned the exam, he was not interested.

"Why should I do this kind of exam?" Du Ruo didn't think about it, if it wasn't for the sake of continuing his studies, he might not have bothered to take the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination.

But as soon as Du Ruo's scholar heard Xiang Qingmin's words, the enthusiasm on his face froze, the corners of his mouth twitched, he threw down the pen, covered his face again, and began to doubt his life.

"Why...... Du Ruo's table mates were puzzled.

……

At night, under the pale street lamp, the two walked together into the depths of the path.

"Du Ruo, what am I yours?" Xiang Qingmin suddenly turned his head and asked.

"Huh?" Du Ruo thought about it, and suddenly an advertisement sounded in his head......

"Yoremi." Du Ruo said with a smile.

"Poof, then you're still my Wangzai!" Xiang Qingmin laughed.

"Why Wangzai?"

"Because Wang Tsai is delicious!"

……

When he got home, Du Ruo found that the little fat man had ordered someone to make a treadmill for the first time, and now he was sweating and lying on the ground.

"Huh? Is the sun coming out of the north today? Du Ruo quipped.

"Boss, you're back!" The little fat man propped his hands on the ground, straightened his waist that he didn't know where, and tried to do a push-up.

"One...... One...... One......! The little fat man gritted his teeth, his hands trembled constantly, and finally he didn't stand up, and suddenly fell to the ground.

"Whew...... ...... "The little fat man gasped, got up and sat on the treadmill.

"What's going on, Gu Peng, what do you think? Isn't your fat your treasure? Du Ruo said with a smile.

"Hehe, boss, I'll take a shower first, and I'll tell you later, do you want to try this treadmill, the enhanced version." The little fat man stood up, undressed, and went into the bathroom.

"Enhanced? No way. Du Ruo came to the treadmill and observed, there were a total of ten gears, and Du Ruo pressed 7.

"It's okay, it's not very fast." Du Ruo ran easily, and then pressed 9.

"It's okay......" Du Ruo's legs ran quickly, and he could still keep up with the speed of the treadmill.

"Try this enhanced version of the 10." Du Ruo was ruthless and pressed the 10.

……

"Boss! I forgot to bring my pants! Hand me one! The little fat man shouted in the bathroom, but there was no response.

"Boss? Top dog! The little fat man screamed twice, and finally had no choice but to run out in wet pants.

The sound of the treadmill working was very loud, and the sound ......of Du Ruo calling for help was very loud, but the little fat man didn't hear it when he was taking a bath just now.

Du Ruo's whole face was already red, his mouth was constantly panting, his legs were already a little weak, but he still had to keep running fast, and at this time, when he saw that the little fat man finally came out, he shouted with his last bit of strength: "Little Gu Peng, close!" ”

The little fat man hurriedly ran over and turned off the treadmill, Du Ruo's legs finally slowed down, and finally fell weakly on the bed, panting heavily.

"Ahem...... I...... Depend on...... Gu Peng, ahem, what did you buy...... Broken Enhanced ...... I'm going to die......" Du Ruo rolled his eyes and almost turned his back on him.

"Hehe, boss, who knows that you will open the 10th gear as soon as you come, and this treadmill will be strengthened in this 10th gear, fortunately I took a shower quickly, otherwise you will have an accident, boss!" The little fat man scratched his head in embarrassment, he forgot to tell Du Ruo.

"Mom...... , almost confessed to this......" Du Ruo only felt that his legs were weak and he couldn't stand up.

"I'm sleeping with you tonight......" Du Ruo struggled to move his legs to the end of the bed, and found a position to lie down.

"Okay! Boss, what do you want to eat, we don't have anything else, what do you want to eat! The little fat man patted his chest.

"I'm going to drink ......," Du Ruo said weakly.

……

"Hello? Mr. Chen, my leg hurts so badly that I can't walk anymore, so I'll take a leave of absence today. ”

The next morning, Du Ruo found that his leg was close to paralysis.

"Oh? What's going on? ”

"Hmm...... Let the treadmill amputate the ......" Du Ruo weakly told the painful experience last night, the pain of riding a tiger, so that Mr. Chen couldn't help but gloat.

"Hahahaha, let you do it, okay, then you have a good rest today."

The little fat man went downstairs to buy breakfast and put it next to the bed.

"Boss, eat some, I'll go to class later."

"Hmm."

……

"Gu Peng! What's the matter with you? Why didn't I write my Chinese homework yesterday? "The Chinese teacher in class 15 was so angry that his head was smoking.

"How can she look so good when she is angry......" Teacher Jin leaned against the door and secretly looked at the Chinese teacher she had cooperated with this school year, Teacher Lin, with a happy crush at the corner of her mouth.

The little fat man lowered his head and didn't dare to come out.

"You leave me after school at noon! Write all the homework for the past few days! Teacher Lin patted the table, and the little fat man nodded submissively.

"Teacher Jin, is the next class your class? Come on in, I'm out of class here. When Mr. Lin turned around, he found that Mr. Jin was already standing outside the door.

"Ah, oh! Good! Good! Teacher Jin was suddenly found a little embarrassed, but he quickly calmed down and walked in front of the little fat man.

"Ahem! Gu Peng, what's the matter with you? And not doing homework makes Mr. Lin so angry? Next time I'll call my parents! Teacher Jin patted the little fat man's head, and the little fat man lowered his head and smiled.

The little fat man leaned over and whispered on Teacher Jin's ear.

"Mr. Jin, when I went to your office to look for math homework that day, I accidentally saw a letter...... Hey. The little fat man smirked.

"Huh?" Teacher Jin turned his head sharply and found that Teacher Lin had already packed up the textbooks and was going back, so he turned his head and glared at the little fat man.

"You kid, if you dare to say a word to Teacher Lin, you see how I educate you well!"

"Mr. Jin, have you put on your makeup?" The little fat man asked suddenly.

"Fart, I'm a dignified eight-foot man, I can wear makeup?" Teacher Jin retorted angrily.

"Then why is your face red?" The little fat man laughed.

Teacher Jin coughed heavily, looked around, and found that the students were doing their homework well, glared at the little fat man, and then returned to the podium and sat down.

"Hey, my favorite math class is here." The little fat man happily took out his math book.

……

"Teacher Lin, you're the best, let me go back first, I'll go to your office to finish my homework in the evening self-study!" The little fat man cried and pleaded, but Mr. Lin was unmoved.

"No! I've given you many chances, sit down and finish writing! ”

"Gu Peng?" Xiang Qingmin suddenly peeked out of the window and saw that Teacher Lin was educating the little fat man, and said hello to Teacher Lin.

"Hello teacher, I have something to do with Gu Peng, is it okay?"

Teacher Lin nodded.

"Okay, but Gu Peng, don't want to leave, write my homework after you finish speaking!"

Gu Peng walked out helplessly, and Xiang Qingmin asked a little anxiously, "Gu Peng, what about Du Ruo?" Where is he? ”

"Sister-in-law, my eldest thigh is broken, and I can't move while lying at home. You see I'm ...... now Alas, I have a weak heart, and language is a nightmare for me. Sister-in-law, the eldest may be hungry now, waiting for me to go buy food. The little fat man complained and felt that it was not his fault that he couldn't write his language homework.

"Huh?" Xiang Qingmin was startled, the little fat man hurriedly explained what happened last night, and Xiang Qingmin patted his chest in a false alarm.

"Give me the key, I'll buy it for him." Xiang Qingmin stretched out his hand, the little fat man's bad idea succeeded, and he smiled and handed her the key.

"Sister-in-law, you should know the place we rented, we are on the fourth floor, you turn right after going up the stairs, the boss is in my room."

"Got it, got it." Xiang Qingmin took the key and trotted away, the little fat man laughed, remembering that he still had to undergo the tempering of hell, and couldn't help but pull his face down again.

"My life is miserable...... "The little fat man returned to his position with a crying face.

……

"Click." The door made the sound of the key opening, and Du Ruo turned over.

"I'm finally back, I'm dying of hunger." Du Ruo complained, but the brothers didn't care too much about talking to each other.

"Pig, you're starving, hey, why is the air conditioner so hot?" Xiang Qingmin carried the packed lunch and walked to Du Ruo's bed with a red face.

"Ahh You...... Why don't you get dressed? Xiang Qingmin's face turned even redder, and he covered his eyes while carrying his lunch.

"Oh my God, why are you here? What about Gu Peng? Du Ruo was also startled, and hurriedly covered the quilt, this morning because the air conditioner was too hot, he took off his pajamas and only wore a pair of pants.

"I ...... Gu Peng, he was studied abroad by the teacher, and he was afraid that your pig would be hungry, so I will bring you food. Xiang Qingmin saw Du Ruo covered with a quilt, so he blushed and put lunch on the side of the bed.

"Oh...... Thank you. Du Ruo was also ashamed, and staggered to the table with his lunch.

"Shhh The moment I sat down, the pain filled my legs.

"Ah, are you alright?" Xiang Qingmin asked worriedly.

"It's okay, it's okay." Du Ruo ate by himself.

"Huh? You have a kitchen and a refrigerator...... Wow! So many ingredients? Do you know how to cook? Xiang Qingmin was looking for it in the cafeteria.

"Hmm...... I don't, Gu Peng likes to cook, but the taste of cooking is a little worse......" Du Ruo replied while eating.

"I'll make you a sweet and sour ...... Sweet and sour, sweet and sour ham sausage! Xiang Qingmin found the ham sausage and said excitedly.

"You also make sweet and sour dishes? Then you do it. Du Ruo smiled, and Xiang Qingmin seriously found vinegar and sugar.

"Look at it! I'll teach you now, and I'll ask you to make it for me at home in the future!" Xiang Qingmin looked at Du Ruo with a smile, saw Du Ruo nodding helplessly, turned around and began to make sweet and sour ham sausages.

Five minutes later, there was an extra plate in front of Du Ruo.

Du Ruo looked at the two ham sausages that were a little black and swallowed his saliva.

"This ...... I'm a little full, the food you bought is so delicious. Du Ruo pushed the plate, and when he saw Xiang Qingmin's aggrieved expression, he pulled the plate back again.

"But since my girlfriend made it herself, I'll try it."

Du Ruo picked one up, took a bite, and looked at Xiang Qingmin's expectant eyes while chewing.

"No...... Not very tasty. Du Ruo told the truth, and did not learn from the male protagonists in the TV series to tell white lies.

"you!" Xiang Qingmin smiled and pushed Du Ruo, "But I also knew it would be unpalatable, so I watched my mother do it...... I'll study hard in the future! ”

The corners of Du Ruo's mouth raised, and he slowly finished eating two ham sausages.

"Then you study hard, I'll wait."
