Fourteen years ago, I met her, Cheng Lan.

I clearly remember that day, the autumn was crisp and the sky was clear, but my heart was not excited by the new environment and the excellent weather.

Because, in the classroom of applied mathematics in the Faculty of Science of Beijing University of Science and Technology, my classmates regarded me as a monster and a poisonous scorpion.

Because my face was badly burned, and it was terrible.

They saw my face like a cat being trampled on its tail, and instantly resisted and fled.

The sound of their chattering and whispering together distracted me, and I simply twisted my schoolbag and walked straight to the corner of the classroom, far away from them.

Soon, the classroom split into two groups, me and them.

And all around me were cold desks.

Just as I was about to climb down to sleep, a clear voice poured into my eardrums.

"Hello, classmate, my name is Cheng Lan."

Following the voice, I looked up and saw her shoulder-length hair, tied in a bow from behind, revealing a smooth forehead, and the gentle eyes of her when she asked me were like an invisible field, attracting me to look at her for several seconds.

At that time, it occurred to me that she might be deliberately pretending to be special to make others look at her.

I lowered my head and ignored her, and I saw her hand in the air, a little embarrassed.

At this time, someone who was supposed to be in her dormitory quickly ran over, pulled her sleeve, and motioned for her to stay away from me.

Cheng Lan was very persistent and continued to ask me: "Classmate, can I sit in front of you?" ”

I felt that she was so annoying for some reason, I frowned and said indifferently: "Whatever you want!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, I heard her breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time saw her quickly sit down in front of me.

I was going to sleep in that class, because of the knowledge of the textbooks, I had already taught myself when I helped my adoptive parents look at the mess in the summer.

Speaking of my adoptive parents and adoptive parents, they were a rag-pickers, but they were very nice, but they didn't seem to be able to have children, so they picked me up when I passed out on the side of the road when I escaped from the fire.

Lying in their broken car, I couldn't feel the burning pain on my face, I just felt that I had no parents who loved me from now on, and my heart was extremely uncomfortable.

When I got back to the basement where they were renting and was rented in a group, they simply treated my burned face, and then it became the grimace that everyone was afraid to flee from.

People on the outside would whisper when they saw me, so much so that when they said anything later, I thought they were talking about me.

Over time, I became suspicious, anxious, and had low self-esteem.

In the end, I simply closed myself off completely, not wanting to talk to anyone, but what they didn't know was that I would often hide in the corner and cry bitterly.

I miss my parents, I miss my grandfather, and I miss my handsome little face before...... My handsomeness has been the proud capital of my parents since I was a child, but my parents who are far away in heaven will never be proud of me again, because my face is ruined

Fortunately, I am very smart and have a strong learning ability, so I just looked for books to read in the mess of my adoptive parents, who knew my learning ability and begged people everywhere to let me go to school.

…

Cheng Lan's existence made me disrupt my plan, I didn't sleep or listen to this class, but my eyes were always staring at the back of Cheng Lan's head, and I found that her little clip pinned to the back of her head was very good-looking.

After class, I thought that Cheng Lan would not be able to stand the discussion of her classmates, and would be like them, change her position and stay away from me.

Unexpectedly, she turned around and asked me for a high math question.

I couldn't help but be stunned, and I was hesitating to tell her, but in the end I chose to be silent indifferent.

Because I suddenly had an idea in my heart that I wanted her to stay away from me, for the only reason, to silence the people who were talking.

And the best way to shut them up is for Cheng Lan to join them and stay away from me as a monster, so that they have nothing to talk about.

And I have a strange idea in my heart, I don't want Cheng Lan to be talked about by them.

Between the second class, Cheng Lan took the book and asked another boy, who was Lu Yunfei, the class leader.

When I lay on the desk and pretended to sleep, I glanced at them without a trace, and when I saw Cheng Lan's enlightened nod after the problem was solved, I felt a little lost inexplicably.

However, in the blink of an eye, she actually walked around to me, sat directly on the empty chair next to me, smiled weirdly, showed two cute little tiger teeth, and said, "Did you not listen to the lecture just now, so you didn't dare to talk to me?" ”

My thin lips moved, and I didn't answer.

She was not in a hurry or annoyed, reached out and picked up the notebook on my desk and flipped through it, frowning, "Sure enough, I didn't listen to the class!" ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly lowered her head, leaned over, and whispered, "Lin Kai, let me tell you, this professor is the eldest of the four famous arrests in the department. ”

Lin Kai? The Four Famous Catches?

My heart trembled and I looked at her in bewilderment. My name should have been learned when she flipped through the notebook just now, and I really don't understand what the four famous people mean?

Her little mouth continued to open and close, "Hmm...... This catch is to catch the make-up exam, the senior sister said, last year, the professor caught 22 make-up exams in a class, and only 8 survived. ”

Looking at her chattering, I inexplicably slipped a trace of warmth in my heart, but I still said indifferently: "I will tell you what he says, you can go!" ”

Cheng Lan did not flinch because of my indifference, but smiled and said, "I don't believe it." ”

I frowned, a little irritated.

"Here, show me this question!" She picked up the book on my desk, flipped to a question, and motioned for me to do it with disbelief.

This time, I looked at her eyes for five seconds, and what touched me was that I did not see any pretense and disgust in her eyes, but saw sincerity and persistence.

I finally lost the battle, picked up the pen, and quickly solved the problem on scratch paper.

The whole journey takes less than a minute.

At this time, in addition to the look of surprise in Cheng Lan's eyes, there was also a trace of loss, and soon, she said coyly: "Lin Kai, you are really not authentic, obviously this question, you deliberately didn't tell me just now, I ignored you." ”

With that, she turned back to her seat.

Staring at the hairpin moving on the back of her head, the corners of my mouth were slightly hooked, and my mind always stayed on her last delicate appearance that seemed to be angry.

……

In the next few days, as soon as I arrived in the classroom, I continued to sleep on my stomach, and Cheng Lan sat in front of me as always, but she seemed to have forgotten her promise to ignore me.

Because as long as she encounters a problem that she can't know, she will turn her head and ask me, at first I still don't speak, write a step coldly, hand it to her, and then she pesters me to dictate the idea to her, just like that, I am also willing to open my mouth and say a few words to her.

Because her voice is always soft and glutinous, crisp and good-sounding, I can't refuse.

I listened attentively in class, even though I knew everything about it.

Because I'm afraid that I won't be able to speak well of any of my knowledge points.

But what makes me very unhappy is that the seat that has been vacant next to Cheng Lan has one more person every day, and that person is Lu Yunfei.

I knew he had his eye on her.

He looked at Cheng Lan's eyes and knew that he wanted to chase her.

And what makes me even more bitter is that Cheng Lan doesn't seem to reject him.

Also, she doesn't even reject me, let alone Lu Yunfei, who is handsome and works hard to study.

And what made me even more sad and indignant was that one day I received a note with a naked warning: stay away from Cheng Lan, she can only be the old mainland brother in our dormitory, don't want to eat swan meat!

Seeing this, my heart sank to the bottom again, because I realized once again that Cheng Lan and I were not people all the way.

So, I started to be indifferent to her again, whether she was shushing me for warmth or asking questions, I ignored her.

She seemed very sad and helpless, and finally did not continue to talk to me, but the seat was still in front of me.

Later, I really didn't want to see her little face that disturbed my heart, so I simply skipped class!

I stopped going to the classroom and went to the all-night study hall on campus, which was in a maple forest on campus.

But since I went, there were very few people in the study room, and they disappeared within a day.

Because I, who they regarded as a monster, went, the huge classroom became my own territory in one day.

Since my adoptive parents gave me very little living expenses, and I couldn't go out to earn money part-time, I went to the cafeteria every morning to buy three steamed buns, one for each meal, and solved them in the study room......

Just when I was once again accustomed to self-separation, Cheng Lan appeared again.

It was noon on a rainy day, and I was finishing reading the programming book when I saw her take her umbrella and come over with a lunch box.

"It's raining outside, so I'll come in and hide from the rain, I didn't expect you to be here!" Cheng Lan took the initiative to explain.

I didn't speak, still aloof.

"I just finished eating and found that I had no appetite at all!" She said again, while opening the lunch box, then pushed it to me, and said glutinously: "Lin Kai, you can eat this meal, don't waste it!" ”

I glanced at the food, there was steamed fish, chicken legs, and stir-fried fungus with green bamboo shoots, which should be the best set meal in the cafeteria, but I never ate it once.

I haven't seen oil and water for a few days, so I can't wait to take it and eat it immediately.

But I held back, I was afraid that she would laugh at me.

"Take it!" I said coldly.
