Chapter 14: The Girl in the Rye

In the northwest corner of the campus is a test field, which is connected to farmers outside the school.

In autumn, when the wheat is ripe in the fields and the rolling mountains connect to the sky under the blue sky, the cross-country race is about to kick off here.

Lin Yue signed up as a cross-country volunteer, wearing a bright red vest and holding a sign marked with an arrow in her hand, cheering on a panting runner whenever they slowed down here.

Zhan Senjie was the first to appear, he manually gestured "V", and winked at Lin Yue.

There is a long line on the track to cheer on your favorite runners. "Steady! Emperor Zhan! A few little fans pulled banners and shouted for Jensenjie at the Saikou.

After the first group of runners passed through the gag, the crowd around them dispersed and rushed to the next stop.

The atmosphere was deserted, and the maple leaves were scattered. Lin Yue saw a girl in the wheat field in the distance.

She leaned the sign against the maple tree behind her, and walked over to find that it was Chen Yumeng.

"Did you compete? Did you run in the wrong direction? ”

"I ...... It's not a cross-country race. Chen Yumeng was carrying a large bag of tea leaves in her hand.

"What are you doing here?"

"Nothing." Chen Yumeng's eyes were red, and she had obviously just cried.

Lin Yue returned to the maple tree, and several outdated female contestants panted to support their waists, gritted their teeth and rushed through the plug.

"Come on, come on!" Lin Yue took off his hat and waved, "Persistence is victory!" ”

She watched Chen Yumeng squat down in the wheat field, put the gift box on the ground, and hugged her thighs with both hands.

The wind blew, and the wheat blocked Lin Yue's view, and she wanted to know what Chen Yumeng was doing.

After the cross-country race, Jensenjie ran to the water station to drink water, and Lin Yue was sorting out the number bib.

"Give me the bib." While collecting the number bib sent, Lin Yue urged Jen Senjie, who was leaning against the tree to enjoy the coolness: "Don't drink it, give me the number bib!" ”

"I have things in my hands, how can I give them to you?" Jensenjie said, holding up two glasses of water.

Lin Yue glanced at the table, there was no room to put items, and she impatiently went up to help Jensenjie solve the number book.

"It's good that it's on the back, if I put it on my chest, you won't be shy?"

"If you put it on your chest, take it to me with your mouth."

Zhan Senjie found that Lin Yue's skills had improved significantly, "I found that after my training, you have gradually become a talent, and you don't have to be afraid of those who sarcastically mock you now, because you have learned to win with one move." ”

"I'm leaving, don't choke!"

Lin Yue went to the sports center with the number bib, and when she passed by the wheat field, she saw Chen Yumeng talking to a male teacher.

Coming out of the activity center, Lin Yue went to the wheat field again, leaving Chen Yumeng squatting alone on the field path, Lin Yue quietly walked over and patted her on the shoulder.

Chen Yumeng hurriedly wiped away her tears and looked at the wheat in the field.

"What's wrong with you? Is this tea? 'Wu Yutai time-honored brand', who is this for? ”

Chen Yumeng took the tea leaves and put them on the other side.

"Aren't you going back to the dorm? Let's go have lunch. ”

Chen Yumeng sobbed quietly, Lin Yue didn't know how to comfort her, so she hugged the skinny Chen Yumeng.

It didn't take long for the crying to stop, and she sniffed and began to babble something.

"My mother asked me to find a teacher, asked me to give tea to the teacher, and asked me to ask the teacher to join the party, how could she let me do this?" Chen Yumeng wiped her tears, "I have low self-esteem, I can't raise my head in front of my teachers, and I can't raise my head in front of my classmates in the future." ”

"The teacher didn't accept it, did he?" Lin Yue hugged Yumeng and felt her trembling body.

"The teacher said that he didn't like this, he had something to say, something to do, and the teacher would have cared about every student, and had nothing to do with gift-giving."

Chen Yumeng sobbed violently, saying that she would stop for a while, "The teacher doesn't like me anymore, the teacher won't like me like this, I hate my mother, I hate her......" She began to cry loudly.

Lin Yue held her cold hand and said, "The teacher won't dislike you, the teacher just wants your mother to know that he will treat every student fairly, and this matter has nothing to do with you!" Each of us is unique, and it doesn't matter if others like you or not. ”

"During military training, a senior sister suddenly pulled me out of the team, I couldn't keep up with her footsteps, I asked anything and she didn't say anything, I heard the wind blowing in my ears, it felt like doing things secretly. When I arrived at this wheat field, I found out that my mother asked the head teacher to see me. ”

"Your mother cares about you."

"Do you know what the teacher gave me? The teacher gave me the 2,000 yuan that my mother gave him...... My mother actually ......" Chen Yumeng covered her face and trembled violently.

Lin Yue empathizes, under such a suppressed maternal love, if she is replaced, she will also collapse.

In the wheat field, there are many insects stocked by graduate students, and they move their limbs and run forward quickly on the path, and they don't know when they are flattened on the road by the sudden soles of their shoes.

They ran too fast to anticipate unknown risks. Sometimes, the right direction is more important than running blindly.

Adults always carry whips to drive children to run, they don't have a map, they don't know that there may be dangerous peaks ahead, there may be abysses, when parents can't catch up, we will get lost in the mountains, in the abyss to die in the Yellow Spring.

Lin Yue suggested that Chen Yumeng consult a psychiatrist, but Chen Yumeng refused, she thought that all exposure was a shame and a thorn that locked her up.

She'd rather bear the strangulation marks than be looked at.

On a late autumn morning, before dawn, a pair of familiar figures appeared on the track and field.

"I'm not coming next week, the Games are going to start soon, and it's time for me to play."

"Oh." Lin Yue agreed.

"Won't you keep me?"

Lin Yue suddenly remembered Chen Yumeng in the wheat field, she quickened her pace, leaving Zhan Senjie far behind.

"Are you happy that I'm not coming?" Jensenjie shouted from behind.

Lin Yue didn't answer, there are so many souls in the world who are as poor and lacking love as Chen Yumeng, and there are so many rich and self-shelled bodies.

Chen Yumeng is a low-income family, his father was injured during the construction of the construction site, and the mother who suffered from heart disease pinned all her hopes on her daughter, who could be in danger at any time if she was hit.

Lin Yue looked at the morning fog and thought of Han Lin, who was recovering after the operation, and didn't know what else she would ask of herself, whether she would also be like Chen Yumeng's mother, betting eighteen years of cultivation on these four years.

She ran for a long time, not stopping until she was exhausted, and she put her hands on her knees, as if she had a terrible dream.

"What's wrong with you? Don't talk again? Did I stop and the effect rebounded? Jensenjie came running out of the fog.

Lin Yue looked at him, "How do you have four eyes?" Two mouths...... "Her eyes went black and she fell to the ground.

When Lin Yue woke up, there was bread and milk next to the bed, and when he looked at the packaging, he knew that it was the kind of bread that Jen Senjie often ate.

The aunt in the infirmary handed Lin Yue a cup of glucose, "The test sheet shows that your hypoglycemia is serious, and you can't run with your boyfriend without eating in the future, I criticized him just now, you should pay attention in the future!" ”

Lin Yue didn't have the strength to explain that Zhan Senjie was not her boyfriend, everything she could see was white dots, if she couldn't still hear her aunt talking, she really thought that she had ascended to heaven and become an immortal.

"Go back and start taking these medicines, don't just eat bread a day, this thing is not nutritious, go back and tell your boyfriend, let him cherish you well, otherwise break up!"

Auntie's round face is angry like the contrasting and cute rabbit in "The Big Secret of Pets", Lin Yue kept laughing with her head down, she hasn't rested like this for several days.

After class at noon, Zhan Senjie came to the infirmary to find Lin Yue, when he came in, Lin Yue was taking red, green, and green medicine, he touched his ears, and was a little embarrassed.

"I shouldn't have fed you bread every day, you're not like me, you faint at every turn, it's a little scary."

Lin Yue couldn't swallow the capsule in her throat, she coughed desperately, Jen Senjie stepped forward and patted her back, using too much force, almost shattering Lin Yue's internal organs and six lungs.

"Ahem, ahem...... Other...... Took a ......"

Jensenjie stood by, thinking he had done something wrong.

"You're going to shoot me to death." Lin Yue coughed, his face flushed.

"Are you hot?" Jensenjie felt that there was something wrong with her face.

"I'm not hot, I'm just burning." Lin Yue leaned against the head of the bed.

"Do you eat ice cream? I'll buy you one. ”

"I really want to eat it." Lin Yue originally wanted to test it, but Zhan Senjie really went out to buy it, and this was the first time he had seen Emperor Zhan so obedient.

When Jensenjie came back, the doctor was holding the thermometer and looking at the number, "38.9 °C, I have to test again, it may be the flu." ”

Lin Yue was isolated, and Zhan Senjie was scolded by his aunt for holding a cone.

"What do I say about you, just said in the morning that you don't just eat bread, so you change your meal? Look at this thing you are taking, can the sick person eat it? It's a miracle that your girlfriend has made it to this day. ”

Zhan Senjie listened to his aunt's nagging outside the infirmary, he didn't pay attention to a word, the glass was stuck with the newspaper, he didn't know what Lin Yue's condition was, why did he have a fever inexplicably.

The nurse walked in with a fever-reducing needle, and Jensenjie was quite sympathetic, since he was a child, he was afraid of this thing, afraid of getting sick, afraid of being in the hospital, and even more afraid of seeing a doctor.

Now he is not afraid, because he is not the one who is sick.

Also because he felt guilty, blamed himself, and worried about the girl lying inside during the long wait.
