CHAPTER XXVI
After the fourteenth day of the first month, it is the day of the opening of the school. This small coastal city in the south of the Yangtze River is different from many places, every household is just the 15th Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, does not eat rice balls, does not guess lantern riddles, but chooses to set off firecrackers the day before, eat dregs. In Wen'er's memory, only the bride would cook sweet and relishy soup on this day, and everyone else burned several large pots of salty soup. On this night, whether they are familiar or unknown, whoever comes to the house can be warmly entertained and eat a few large bowls of soup. At the age of five or six, Wen Er would take a big bowl with the children in the town and go to every house to beg for dregs to eat, some salty, some sweet, some full of oysters and shrimp skin, and some longan and water chestnuts and small balls, each with its own flavor.
The next day after the reunion, Wen'er dragged the suitcase back to school. Of course, the backpack was inevitably stuffed with all kinds of "hearts" by Wen's mother, including two or three big apples, a small plastic bag of sesame candy and all kinds of nuts and roasted nuts, which seemed to continue the New Year's flavor into Wen'er's school life. This "enthusiasm" with maternal love has not undergone any essential changes until Wener grows up and works.
Spring is a restless season, and how many literati and scholars in ancient and modern times have written poems for it to express their praise and love for her. The boys and girls on campus, just like the people in Zhu Ziqing's pen, rushed to the scene, and they all came out for activities and games.
No, it's only been two weeks since school started, and Ye Zi has played with Wen'er several times as a "pen fairy". This game was learned by her young lady next door during the Spring Festival, and it is said to be full of mystery and magic.
"Erer, let's play 'Pen Fairy' after the lights go out!"
"Xiao Yezi, the monthly exam is going to be next week, why aren't you worried at all!"
Da Qianqian was leaning next to Wen'er's seat, peeling pecans, and the fragrance of nuts was wafting in the air, which smelled very good.
"Da Qianqian, didn't you listen to the Chinese teacher, 'If you come, you will be safe.'" It's useless to be in a hurry, play to your heart's content when it's time to play. Right, Wener? ”
I saw Xiao Qianqian responding to Da Qianqian, and at the same time moving her stool to the window, close to the leaf's one.
"Fei Fei, give us an A4 blank paper~" Since Ye Zi started playing the "Pen Fairy" game, every time she would ask Du Fei for a few pieces of her scratch paper.
"Take it yourself." Du Fei was so immersed in the question that he didn't even glance at it.
"Er'er, come quickly!
"Together, together."
Under the warm greeting of Ye Zi and Xiao Qianqian, Wen Er had to speed up the speed of washing his feet, wiped them casually, and didn't care whether his feet were wet or not, so he put them in the cotton dragger and went to the window to "go to the appointment".
"Tonight, let's ask some emotional questions." Xiao Yezi had already spread the white paper on two stools that he asked Du Fei to come, and wrote words "yes", "no", "20", "25", "30" and so on.
"Erer, I'll play with you first."
Xiao Qianqian was squatting on the side of the stool at this time, holding a black pen in her hand, the light in the bedroom had been extinguished, and the faint night light shone on her face, which was obscure.
"Yezi, Xiao Qianqian, don't you light candles?" Wen Er was half-squatting on the other side of the stool at this time, facing Xiao Qianqian. A few times before, Ye Zi would take out four candles out of nowhere and place them on the four corners of the stool one by one.
"I don't think you should light it tonight, there are several flashlights in the dormitory now, and it's already very dangerous."
In the dormitory culture of middle and high school, the dormitory aunt is a very scary existence. They have the special functions of "clairvoyance" and "ears to the wind", and they can always appear quietly at the door of each bedroom, poke their heads slightly, and calmly monitor every move inside through the small transparent window on the door. In the level they can't tolerate, the light of the flashlight is probably in the top three.
"Okay then~ Anyway, you're all flashlights, it's really bright enough."
"Err, are you ready?"
"Hmm."
Wen Er and Xiao Qianqian's right hands were interlocked, with a black pen in the middle, and they saw that the two of them had their eyes closed, and Xiao Qianqian's mouth was full of words:
"Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, you are my past life, I am your present life, if you want to renew your relationship with me, please draw circles on the paper."
As soon as the words fell, the pen between the two began to slowly move on the paper, leaving crooked black lines. The leaves stared intently from the sidelines, highly focused.
"Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, when will I get married?" Xiao Qianqian slowly asked a question.
The pens in their hands continued to move, as if by magic, and dragged them towards the answer "30".
"Ah, why did I get married so late!" Xiao Qianqian didn't seem to be satisfied with this result, so she looked at Wen Er:
"Er'er, did you have any strength in your hand just now?"
Wen Er shook his head, indicating that it had nothing to do with him.
"Xiao Qianqian, this is what Bixian means, don't doubt it." The leaves tossed a sentence coolly.
"Oh, yes, yes, it's my fault." When Xiao Qianqian heard Ye Zi's reminder, she immediately changed her attitude, covered her mouth with her other hand, and patted her gently several times.
"Err, it's time for you to ask the next question." Ye Zi reminded softly.
"Do you have to ask emotional questions?"
"Ask, ask, we won't tell." Xiao Qianqian pouted.
"Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, does anyone like me now?"
As soon as the question was asked, Wen Er felt a little regretful, and she hurriedly continued:
"Wait a minute, or I'll change the question!"
"Don't change it! Don't you feel that the pen fairy has already begun to answer? Close your eyes. ”
As the communicator of this mysterious game, Ye Zi has a sense of mastering the overall situation.
Wen Er felt the pen in his hand slowly stop, and saw that the word "yes" on the white paper was drawn in several large circles.
"Wow! Err, someone likes you! Who is it? Ye Zi and Xiao Qianqian both looked at Wen Er with gossipy expressions.
"Who likes Err?" Da Qianqian heard the movement and came over, and even Du Fei, who had no distractions and was dedicated to the question, turned his head.
Seeing that everyone's eyes in the bedroom were projected on him, Wen Er looked slightly cramped, his face was slightly red, he shook his head, and said:
"You ask me, how do I know, it's not that I like people."
"I guess it's - Sheng Ruochen, what do you think?" Da Qianqian gave an answer next to her.
"I also think it's him, Erer has had an affair with him, although he doesn't do the front and back tables now, but the affection is still there!"
"I think it's Ren Squeak, he's very different from our family!" Konoha raised objections.
"How can it be Ren Squeak! He's not good for any girl in our class! If it's him, then I'd rather be Sheng Ruochen, at least he studies well, and he is handsome, and he is more compatible with our little Er~"
Xiao Qianqian is obsessed with all kinds of romance novels, especially the male protagonist in it has extremely high requirements, must be a long body, wearing a haute couture Italian handmade suit and a face that has been carefully carved by God. Of course, in terms of personality, he is definitely a peerless good man, and he has a family background that rivals the rich. It can be seen that Ren Squeak, a good man like "central air conditioning", cannot enter Xiao Qianqian's eyes.
"You women are really a bit boring." In the midst of the others' discussions, Du Fei's voice suddenly interjected.
"Hey, Fei Fei, I found out that you always call us 'women' women this semester, why are you!" Xiao Qianqian protested.
"Fei Fei must be reading novels too, right?"
As he spoke, the leaf lay on Du Fei's back.
"Go away, I just got out of the shower."
"I dislike me again, it's so sad~ But, look, do those domineering presidents in the novel always use 'women' to refer to the heroine?"
"For example—"
I saw Ye Zi cross his waist with one hand, touch his chin thoughtfully with the other, and suddenly pretend to be cold and said:
"Woman, I'm going to condemn you! Woman, you can't escape the palm of my hand! ”
"Hahahaha~" Except for Du Fei, who wordlessly plugged in the headphones, everyone else was amused.
"Shhhhhh Don't bring your aunt in. Wener stopped the roommates' growing laughter in time and continued:
"Okay, I'll go to the toilet first, Ye Zi, you can play with Xiao Qianqian." As he spoke, he stood up and gave up his place to Xiao Yezi.
Late at night, there was still a faint sound coming from dormitory 412 intermittently—
"Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy ......"
