"I'm not...... Pretty sure what exactly you're trying to say? ”

Nian Nian raised his head slightly, a little surprised, but there was no surprise about his performance.

"It's nothing, I just hope you can play your strength in the future, if it's really because of me, then you don't want to be like this, we've all grown up, and when we were young, we were all joking, don't take it seriously, I will still treat you as my best friend." I went home first. ”

After saying it in one breath, Nian Nian raised his steps and walked towards the residential area of the villa.

"Nian Nian!"

After taking a step or two, Yi Huai behind him still stopped himself.

"Huh?"

She didn't turn her head, she turned her back to him like that.

"I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry for what?"

I'm sorry to make you so bothered about our business, and I'm sorry that I've been unilaterally entangled, from today onwards, I don't like you anymore, so I won't be obsessed with what you said at the graduation dinner, and I won't be like this to you. I don't have to feel uneasy in front of my brother anymore.

In the past, I didn't know what the liking between men and women was, I just knew that I was by your side, no matter what you said, I was right, no matter what you did, I would accompany you, and no matter what you liked, I would like it, I'm sorry I've been hiding from you with my own thoughts, and now we're in our teenage years, so I understand, what is like, it's my fault that you are so annoyed now, it's my fault that you can't adapt to the change for a while, from now on, we will no longer be like this, We're still the same as before, except I don't like you anymore. But someone will continue to like you for me.

That day, Nian Nian seemed to have insomnia, and in the end, Yi Huai didn't say why she was sorry, if it was for his change, then she felt unnecessary.

It's annoying.

The next day, Nian Nian had a fever, so the next day, Yi Huai went to school alone.

I took some antipyretic medicine in the morning, and lay at home in a daze one morning, Wang Li and Shang Wenxuan both went out to work.

Because Wang Li and Xuan Xuan felt that women in the new era should also be independent, they opened a flower shop together, maybe the two of them standing there are no worse than flowers, so the business of the flower shop is good, and the two of them are also very busy.

When it was almost noon, the doorbell downstairs rang, Nian Nian opened her eyes a little worriedly, put on her little slippers and went downstairs to open the door, she thought it was her mother coming back, but she saw Xia Yecheng.

"Are you better?"

"Uh-huh."

The moment she saw Xia Yecheng, Nian Nian smiled and followed him into the house.

Nian Nian sat on the sofa and draped the blanket over herself.

"Brother, haven't you left yet?"

"The plane at two o'clock in the afternoon, come and give you something and leave."

"What's that?"

Nian Nian sat on the sofa, tilted his body to look behind him, there was nothing.

Xia Yecheng looked at her excitedly, stretched out his hand and touched her head, and took out a few pieces of candy from his jacket pocket, which he often got from his brother when he was a child, and he hadn't eaten it for a long time.

"Cut, I thought it was something good."

That said, but her flower-like smile betrayed her.

"Then what do you want, I'll bring it back to you when I come back from Beijing."

"I want to eat authentic Peking duck!"

"Okay, anything else? Snack goods. ”

"And let you come back safely and come back with us for New Year's Eve."

Yes, January 1st is almost here, and the year is about to pass.

"This can't be done, I just came back that day, and it may not be possible to spend New Year's Eve with everyone, but you can have a New Year's Eve with you, can you accompany me for a New Year's Eve?"

Xia Yecheng squatted down, smiled slightly, and looked at her.

"Okay, where are you going to take us to play?"

Xia Yecheng was stunned.

"You guys? No, it's just you and me. There is no Huaibao. ”

"Why?"

Nian Nian raised her head.

"Because during the summer vacation, I taught him to play basketball, and I also took him to a beautiful basketball hall, so this time I will let you accompany me alone for the New Year's Eve, wait for me to pick you up after school, and then I will take you with you for the New Year's Eve.

"Really?"

Looking at Nian Nian's eyes shining, Xia Yecheng knew that this was done.

Later, Wang Li came back, and insisted that Xia Ye stay and let him leave after eating.

In the afternoon, Nian Nian still didn't go to class, stayed at home and slept for a while before picking up Xia Yecheng's new comics to read, not blowing it, she felt that these heroines in Xia Yecheng's pen were drawn by her, but she didn't dare to say it, for fear of being ridiculed.

In the evening, Yi Huai also came back, and after dinner in the evening, he returned to his bedroom, there was a bookcase in the bedroom, which was full of books, all of which he had read, and he had loved to read since he was a child.

There is a book in the innermost, which is a sample of the comics that Xia Yecheng gave himself last time, and this comic is still a big seller, and the one in his hand is the first one officially sent to the author Xia Yecheng, which is the end of the comic last quarter.

He took out the hot-blooded comics, and a blank paper sandwiched in it also fell out, he bent down and picked it up, from the time he got the book and saw this blank paper, he thought about whether to give this to Nian Nian, he just thought that it was just his brother's love for his sister, but the paper was painted with Niannian's joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and a sentence was written next to it, You are my joys, sorrows, and sorrows, my little friend.

And when he went to the barbecue restaurant that day, he understood that he was thinking too simply.

He took the blank piece of paper and lay on the bed, there was a knocking sound on the stairs outside the door, and he didn't hear it, until the person knocked on the door outside, he didn't know that Nian Nian was coming, he hurriedly put the things away, not afraid that she would see it, but he felt that Xia Yecheng still had to say it himself.

"What are you doing, you're in a hurry."

Yi Huai's tone was natural, as if he had lost his previous sense of distance.

"I heard you guys quiz today? I'll take a look at the volume. ”

"Ang, it's tested."

He said this, and then took out the test paper he had brought back for Nian Nian from his school bag.

"Are you cured with a cold?"

"Okay."

Nian Nian, who got the test paper, couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, it was still chemistry, her God, the short-board subjects would actually take a final quiz when she asked for leave.

"The teacher told you to finish it tonight and give it to her tomorrow."

"What? Then why are you still waiting for me to come to you? If Tian Xiaohui hadn't told me, I'm afraid it would have been over. ”

"I was about to go to you, and you're here, so you can sit here and do it, it's easy."

After speaking, Yi Huai got up and pulled out a comic book on his bookcase, and then lay down on his bed again.

Nian Nian stood aside, holding the test paper in his hand, and finally this mode of getting along came back, and this mode of getting along is the most comfortable. It feels like something is missing, but isn't that what friends should be?

"How many points did you get?"

"Do you need to ask?"

Yi Huai didn't look up, he kept looking at the cartoon in his hand, he didn't press the score anymore, and this time he showed his strength, which made the teacher a little surprised.

With such a result, Nian Nian is actually quite happy.

"So from now on, I'm going to go all out to be the first, right?"

"Whatever you want."

"Don't try to shake my number one position."

"Cut, sample."

“…… Yi Huai, I'm so happy. ”

"Huh?"

"It's like we're back in the old days."

Why go back to the way things were? Isn't it good to start over?

"Maybe."

“……”

Half a month later, the students of the first class took the last physical education class of the semester on the playground, after all, the physical education class for the rest of the semester will be borrowed by the cultural class teacher. It's time for the final exam, but maybe it's because it's a rocket class, so you don't need to be too nervous in the first year of junior high school, but this class is different from other classes.

Because the physical education class was the third class in the morning, after the second class, there was a big class and a half hour, so Yi Huai waited for the second class, and then he ran to the playground to play basketball, waiting for this class.

"Count!"

As soon as the PE teacher arrived at the playground, after everyone was standing, he asked the students to count one by one.

“1，2，3，4…… 49。 ”

"Why is there one person missing?"

"Teacher, it looks like the class leader is still in the classroom."

"Let's take a look."

Tian Xiaohui is Niannian's tablemate, and she is about to volunteer to take a look.

"I'll go."

Yi Huai stood in the last row, because he was tall, so when he gathered, he could see at a glance that Nian Nian had not come, and when he remembered that when he just went out of the back door to the playground, he felt that Nian Nian was a little wrong.

"Go ahead, hurry up."

After speaking, Yi Huai ran towards the classroom with the ball.

He walked along the classroom wall to the front door where Nian Nian was, and he looked in through the window, and sure enough, he saw Shang Nian sitting there alone.

He entered from the front and looked at her with some confusion.

Someone suddenly appeared, which also startled Niannian, but when she saw that the person who came was Yi Huai, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong with you? Class, class leader. ”

He walked over and sat down in the front seat.

"Yi Huai, I feel like I'm going to die."

"What are you talking about?"

Reading this sentence frightened Yi Huai a little, he tilted his head and looked at her whole body, and there was nothing unusual.

"I... I was bleeding. ”

“！ Where? ”

"I don't know, but when I got up just after class, I found blood on my chair, am I going to die?"

As soon as she said it, Nian Nian was a little choked, just now she was about to ask the classmates behind her to hand in her homework, but as soon as she turned her head, she saw the blood stains on her chair, she was shocked, and quickly sat down, she didn't have the heart to go to class, she knew that Yi Huai would come to her later, so she waited.

Huaibao was speechless, as a girl, Niannian didn't know that she had started menstruation? It's been a year, and there are still people who don't know about girls' menstruation, and they feel like they're going to die, which is a little funny when I think about it.

"What are you laughing at? Are you happy? ”

"Didn't Aunt Li tell you?"

Nian Nian raised a pair of watery eyes and looked at him with a blink, a little unaware of what he meant.

"It's nothing, this is normal, don't be afraid, don't go to this physical education class, rest in the classroom, I'll go ask the teacher for leave. All right? Rest assured, it's not about life or death. ”

Yi Huai said as he took off his school uniform jacket, stood up and bent down to Nian Nian, and tied his coat around her waist, he guessed that her school pants were dirty.

Although she didn't understand what Yi Huai was talking about, no matter what he meant, as long as Yi Huai said it, she would believe it. With Yi Huai here, she is full of security.

"Hmm."

With tears in her eyes, she nodded to him.

It happened to be a physical education class, and after the gathering, the teacher let them move freely by themselves, and before the class ended, Tian Xiaohui came back, and at the same time she also brought a bag back.

"Shang Nian, here you go."

Shang Nian took the pocket a little uncertainly, and looked at her with some doubts.

"What is this?"

"You... Don't know? It's a sanitary napkin. ”

"That's... What's that? ”

"Isn't it, you're not going to tell me you don't know about menstruation? I knew it in elementary school. ”

She really didn't know.

He shook his head weakly and frowned slightly, because since the morning, his little stomach hurts a little.

"Let's go, let's go to the toilet, I'll teach you how to use it."

She nodded, stood up, turned her head to look at her chair with some reluctance, then took a tissue from the table and quickly wiped it on the chair. Then he followed Tian Xiaohui out of the classroom.

As soon as they got out of the classroom, the two ran into Yi Huai again, at this time he was holding a thermos cup in his hand, which was his thermos cup, and he had just gone to the place where he received hot water and was about to go back to the classroom.

"I'll put this on your table and drink a little when you come back, it will feel better. I'll be waiting for you in the classroom. ”

With that, Yi Huai went back to the classroom directly, and put his thermos cup in his hand on Niannian's desk.

"Are you two really just friends? How do I feel like you're a couple? ”

"Huh? No, we're just good friends. ”

Nian Nian covered her stomach with one hand, and waved her other hand in front of Tian Xiaohui.

"Then he's too good to you, and he's going to buy sanitary napkins and pour hot water for you."

Tian Xiaohui was muttering alone in front of her.

Now Nian Nian doesn't understand the concept of a boy going to buy sanitary napkins, but he only knows that Huaibao helped him do these things.

She also learned later that menstruation is a somewhat unspeakable thing, a kind of thing that boys will ridicule when they hear it, although she has never understood very well, why a physiological phenomenon of girls makes it difficult for them to speak, and over time it has become imperceptible, causing all girls to feel that menstruation is an unspeakable thing.

In her heart, she felt that this was a normal girl's physiological phenomenon, and there was nothing to be ashamed of.

It was only later that I learned what it meant for a boy to help a girl buy sanitary napkins.

"That's how we've been getting along since we were kids."

"Really? All right. ”

Niannian pursed her lips and didn't say anything more, because her little stomach was really a little painful, and she also wanted to go back to the classroom quickly and drink some hot water.
