Chapter 12: Growing Pains
Most schools tend to have a shorter winter break than a summer vacation, and there are more things to do. The city's key high schools will have a little later than other schools every year. This year's winter vacation is already the twenty-first day of the lunar month, and after the holiday, I went to Lin Xuan's house to play for a day, so there are only seven days left before the New Year. In the past seven days, she was busy with writing her winter vacation homework while helping her mother prepare New Year's goods. After the New Year, I was busy going to the homes of relatives and friends with my parents to pay New Year's greetings.
Since I went to Lin Xuan's house to play that day, I haven't seen Lin Xuan until before school starts. Because he lives in the same building as Wen Yuan, he and Wen Yuan can meet every once in a while.
Wen Yuan always finds all kinds of reasons to find Hu Zheng anyway, I have to say that Wen Yuan does have his own charm. He was particularly liked by Hu Zheng's mother at Hu Zheng's house, and a person who had a slight cleanliness habit and didn't help the broom at home was very diligent at Hu Zheng's house, and took the initiative to go to Hu Zheng's mother's breakfast shop to help. won a good meal from Hu's mother.
Hu's mother's breakfast shop has been open for many years, which is also the only source of income for Hu Zheng and his mother. Hu Zheng is a very sensible girl, although the relationship with Hu's mother is not very good, but every weekend when I go back, I will take time to help my mother's breakfast shop, and I stay in the store with Hu's mother every day during winter and summer vacations.
Wen Yuan went directly to the store to find her every time he went to find Hu Zheng, at first Wen Yuan took the initiative to help Hu Zheng wipe the table or something, Hu Zheng still refused, because she knew that Wen Yuan had never worked in her own home, and whenever she saw Wen Yuan bending down to wipe the greasy table, she was very upset, but Wen Yuan insisted on helping, Hu Zheng couldn't help Wen Yuan, so she went with him. After a long time, Hu Zheng is used to watching Wen Yuan help the store again. There are too many customers to have time, and Hu Zheng will take the initiative to assign work to Wenyuan.
The winter vacation passed quietly with the chatter and laughter of family and friends, and before the end of the New Year, the school opened again.
At noon on Monday, Wen Yuan, who had lunch, went to the top class to find Hu Zheng as usual. As before, I took a lunch break in the classroom. Sizhe, who was at the same table, walked in from outside the classroom, walked to Ruchu's side and cautiously woke Ruchu. As at first, Sizhe, who was confused, asked, "What's the matter?" What's the matter? ”
Sizhe looked at Ruchu with a stupid look on his face, and blushed unconsciously. Then quickly don't look away from the same eyes and say, "Zhao Wen is looking for you outside."
"Zhao Wen? Is it the Zhao Wen in the first class, but I'm not familiar with her, what's the matter with her looking for me? As before, sleepy eyes asked
"Well, I don't know about this, she didn't tell me. You'll know when you're out," Sizhe said with a shrug
As before, he stood up and walked out with "difficulty" on the table. Although I didn't get up as before, I was still very unhappy that people disturbed me when I was sleeping.
Ruchu walked outside the classroom and saw Zhao Wen waiting for him with a box in his hand, and thought that he was another person who asked him to help give Wen Yuan a gift. Because I have been called out by girls I don't know several times before, this is the kind of thing, so Ruchu was a little unhappy and asked, "Is there anything you are looking for me?" ”
Zhao Wen said very enthusiastically, "I saw you sleeping, I disturbed you, I'm sorry, I wanted to give this to you"
Ruchu didn't understand that the last time I met Zhao Wen in the amusement park, I felt that she was still hostile to herself, why did she come to give herself a gift now. As early as the beginning, he asked, "Why did you give me this?" ”
Zhao Wen said, "No, why, since the last New Year's Day party, you have left a deep impression on me, and don't you have a good relationship with Yi Qiu?" Yi Qiu sometimes mentions you, so I want to make friends with you. When you go shopping, you see that this gift is very suitable, so you buy it and want to give it to you. ”
Since the New Year's Day party was hosted on the same stage together, Ruchu and Yi Qiu have maintained a friendly partner relationship, but Ruchu didn't think that this friendly partner would make Yi Qiu mention her in front of another girl. "Oh, that's it, it's okay to make friends, but you don't need gifts," Ruchu said in disbelief
"Oh, you just take it, you said you were willing to be friends with me, then we are friends now, isn't it normal for friends to give a gift to each other?" Zhao Wen insisted
Zhao Wen's insistence made it a little difficult for Ruchu to refuse, and Ruchu felt that if he resigned, he would be cautious, so he accepted it.
Zhao Wen saw that Ruchu was willing to accept the gift, and felt that Ruchu was really willing to become friends with her. Happy to say, "It's good, I've made a friend again, then I can find you for dinner next time or something."
Ruchu didn't understand Zhao Wen a little, and she didn't want to fully understand it, in Ruchu's heart, the people around her were only kind to do things, just thinking that maybe Zhao Wen really wanted to make friends with herself! Said "Okay"
Zhao Wen agreed as early as she saw it, and happily returned to her classroom.
Ru didn't want to think about complicated things, so he returned to his seat and put the gift in the belly of the table and continued to sleep. As soon as I woke up, I had already rang the bell for class.
Ruchu remembered that he seemed to have received a gift just now, reached out and touched the belly of the table, and found that there was really a gift. Only then did he confirm that what had just happened was real, not a dream.
As before, I opened the gift box and found that it was a light blue crystal dolphin inside. Good friend Lele walked in from outside the classroom, just in time to see Ruchu take out the dolphin, and said with a gossip on his face, "Hey, Xiao Chuchu, which boy gave you such a beautiful dolphin?" So generous! ”
Ruchu said, "It was sent by Zhao Wen in a class, what's the matter, is this very expensive?" ”
Lele said, "Anyway, last time I went shopping with my sister, I also saw a crystal dolphin like this, it was hundreds, this seems to be a new product launched by the brand Shihua Shiji with the theme of protecting animals, why did a girl give you this?" ”
"She said she wanted to be friends with me, so she gave it to me," she said
"Oh, then she gave it to you, so you can keep it," Lele said
"Mmmm, let's not talk about it, let's get ready for class," Ruchu said to Lele while putting the dolphin in the box!
On the way home from school, Ruchu told Hu Zheng about Zhao Wen giving her crystal dolphins, and asked Hu Zheng, "What do you think of Zhao Wen in your class?" Do you have a good relationship? ”
Hu Zheng said suspiciously: "Why do you ask that?" ”
As before, he told Hu Zheng what happened at noon today. Hu Zheng said: "She is very good overall, there are many boys chasing her, but it seems that none of the boys chasing her like her." She's probably a bit arrogant because she's supposed to be good in every way. I don't have a good relationship with her, it's just a very ordinary classmate relationship, except for sometimes academic interactions, I don't usually have much communication. ”
"That's strange, since you and her are classmates and have a very average relationship, why would she want to be friends with me?" After listening to what Hu Zheng said, he was even more puzzled
Wen Yuan also knew what happened today, but Wen Yuan thought very simply, listening to Hu Zheng and Ruchu's discussion, Wen Yuan said, "Maybe people just want to make friends with you." Her relationship with Hu Zheng is ordinary, and she doesn't necessarily want to be friends with you. Besides, if that's not the case, what do you have to covet to be friends with you? You don't have much to show other than three of our wonderful friends. Maybe people just want to befriend us through you," Wen Yuan said and shrugged narcissistically. This time, Wen Yuan was really right
Ruchu was speechless about Wenyuan's narcissism, and said, "Just speak well, why are you personally attacking?" Also, I admit that it is a fact that you said that Hu Zheng and Lin Xuan are very good, but you, well, should forget it. ”
Wen Yuan listened to Ruchu disagree with himself and said that he was very good, he was very unconvinced, and said, "What do you mean, why am I not excellent?" ”
Ruchu looked at Wen Yuan's anger, and said even more angrily, "I'm sorry, I really didn't see where you are excellent, is it because you are very good at me every day?" ”
Hearing Ruchu say this, Wen Yuan covered his heart with his hand, pretending to be in pain and said, "Quick, quick, help me, I was spied by Ruchu's blood pressure." Ahem, ahem, I may not be able to save it. Please comrades, please be sure to bring my body back to my home. ”
Ruchu cooperated with Wen Yuan's performance, pretending to be very reluctant about Wen Yuan's death, and said very sadly, "Don't worry, we will definitely bring your body home, you can rest assured, we will definitely take care of your family for you." From now on, your family will be our common family, and you can leave with peace of mind now," Wen Yuan pretended to fall after finishing speaking
Ruchu and Hu Zheng quickly walked to the front, leaving Wen Yuan alone in the wind and roaring, "I think I can still save it"
Everyone was amused by Wen Yuan's performance. Even Lin Xuan, who usually doesn't smile, was laughed at by Wen Yuan's exaggerated performance.
Lin Xuan listened to Ruchu talk about Zhao Wen, although Ruchu they didn't know the reason for this, but Lin Xuan was very clear. So after listening to the discussion between Ruchu and Hu Zheng, Lin Xuan interjected, "In my opinion, you should not accept her gifts, they all say that it is useless, and the hands of people are short, be careful that she sells you." ”
As at first, he said in disbelief, "No, don't you want to scare me like this"
Wen Yuan had already followed at this time, and interjected, "I think what Lin Xuan said is right, no merit is not worthless, since that dolphin is not cheap, you should give it back to her"
Ruchu didn't want to accept this gift, but Zhao Wen insisted on giving it to Ruchu before accepting it, listening to Wen Yuan and Lin Xuan say this, Ruchu also felt that what they said made sense, and said, "Then I'll go to school tomorrow."
Give her back."
Lin Xuan said, "Give it to me, I'll help you return it to her tomorrow by the way."
Hearing Lin Xuan say that he wanted to help him pay it back, he felt that he had solved a big trouble at once, and he happily gave the gift to Lin Xuan, saying, "It's really good that you want to help me return the gift to her, and I'm worried that if I give it back to her, she won't agree, so it's okay." Lin Xuan, you are really good to me. ”
In this way, the gift arrived in Lin Xuan's hands.
After self-study the next morning, Lin Xuan asked Zhao Wen to meet on the rooftop last time
On the rooftop
Lin Xuan stood there with a gift box, and after Zhao Wen went up to the rooftop, he asked Lin Xuan, "What is the matter with you asking me to meet here?" ”
Lin Xuan handed the gift to Zhao Wen and said, "Although I don't know why you suddenly went to find Ruchu, I want to say that if it was because of me, I don't think you would have to do these things."
Zhao Wen didn't go to pick up the gift, but looked at Lin Xuan and said, "I gave her a gift just to become friends with her, and find out what advantages she has that you like, isn't that okay?" ”
Lin Xuan said: "I have no problem with you wanting to make friends with her, this is your power, I can't interfere, but I hope you don't take advantage of her." She's very innocent, she'll just think that you just want to be friends with her, and if she knows later that you don't just want to be friends with her, she'll be hurt. After speaking, Lin Xuan stuffed the gift into Zhao Wen's hand and left
Zhao Wen looked at Lin Xuan's ruthless back, felt very uncomfortable, and shouted at Lin Xuan, "I won't give up, I will definitely become friends with her"
Zhao Wen saw that Lin Xuan cared so much about Ruchu, for fear that Ruchu would be hurt a little bit, Zhao Wen was even more jealous in her heart, so she wanted to get closer to Ruchu and figure out what kind of charm Ruchu had
Although Zhao Wen took back the gift, and Lin Xuan also told Zhao Wen, Zhao Wen would still go to play with Ruchu if she had nothing to do. After a long time, Zhao Wen gradually became familiar with Wen Yuan and them. I also had more communication with Hu Zheng in the class. It's just that Lin Xuan is still cold to her. Zhao Wen was not angry, because except for the beginning, Lin Xuan was the same for other girls. Even Hu Zheng is the same, Lin Xuan doesn't often take the initiative to talk to her much. At least I can walk with them after school.
It looked like it was going to rain after school at noon, and the air was very hot. As before, a few of them went to the cafeteria to eat as usual, and today Zhao Wen said that she had something to do, so she didn't go to the canteen with them to eat!
In the cafeteria, everyone sat together after finishing the meal, talking and laughing, and only Hu Zheng remained silent all the time. Ruchu asked Hu Zheng, "What's wrong with you today, what are you thinking?" Don't talk to us? ”
Hu Zheng said, "I don't know what's going on, my right eyelid has been beating today, and I'm panicking, feeling like something is going to happen."
Wen Yuan listened to Hu Zheng's words, and then said, "How come? Maybe you've been under too much pressure to study lately, so you're panicking, otherwise what could have happened? ”
After listening to what Wen Yuan said, Hu Zheng felt that maybe what Wen Yuan said made sense, but he didn't know why he couldn't let go of his hanging heart.
In the second class in the afternoon, Hu Zheng was taking notes seriously, and the head teacher suddenly stood at the door of the classroom and said to the English teacher who was lecturing, "Teacher Li, I'm sorry, excuse me, I'm looking for a student" and then turned his gaze to Hu Zheng, and said to Hu Zheng anxiously, "Hu Zheng, you come out" Hu Zheng didn't know what the head teacher was looking for her at this time, but Hu Zheng was even more panicked, and a bad premonition arose. Hu Zheng walked out of the classroom nervously, and the head teacher called Hu Zheng to his office. Cautiously said, "Hu Zheng, just now your mother called to say that there was an accident at your house, and told you to go home immediately"
