He froze.

Haru and the boy let go of her hand as they approached the school gate, and she saw him and whispered something in the boy's ear, and the boy kissed her on the cheek and went in first, sweeping past him with a disdainful and defiant gaze.

Qing walked over and said embarrassedly: "Zekuan, please don't come to me again in the future, I don't want my boyfriend to be unhappy, I'm sorry, in fact, I have always regarded you as a classmate and friend." ”

Zekuan wanted to say something decent, but he couldn't say a word, just nodded blankly.

Qing turned around and walked into the school gate, Zekuan looked at her back as she turned away, squeezed the magazine in her hand hard, and tears came out of her eyes.

He didn't take the car, he walked back like this, and he didn't go back to the dormitory, just sat in the small park, constantly recalling the bits and pieces of the past, laughing bitterly with tears, laughing at himself for being too naïve and stupid, thinking that she would really like this stupid boy who was dirty and poor.

Zhao Wencheng and Wu Yi walked through the alley, as if they were going out, and when they saw him, they came over, Zhao Wencheng shouted: "It turns out that our writer is back and hiding here, you can't be like me and ignore friends, and you can't just invite women and not friends when you get the manuscript fee." ”

Ze Kuan hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, Wu Yi had already seen that something was wrong, and asked with concern: "Ze Kuan, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zekuan bowed his head and didn't make a sound.

Zhao Wencheng said: "It won't be a happy and sad love, right? No, if you haven't fallen in love yet, it can only be regarded as a light death, or 、、、 disillusionment. ”

Wu Yi pushed him and said, "You shut up for me." Asked Zekuan: "Did you see her with another man?" ”

Zekuan nodded sadly.

Zhao Wencheng patted his thigh and said: "As I thought, a self-righteous woman like her just likes this effect, playing ambiguous with you, and she doesn't tell you if she has a man, but lets you see it yourself, so that she can see how sad you are for her, satisfy her vanity, and let her man know how popular she is, it's really poisonous." She used to not accept other people's confessions when she was in school because she didn't look down on the people in our place at all, and when she came out to see the world, she met a man who felt worthy of her, so she couldn't wait to peel off the skin and stick it on. ”

Zekuan didn't want to believe that Qing was such a person, but Zhao Wencheng's words seemed to make sense, which made his heart even more painful.

Wu Yi comforted him and said, "Don't think too much, why don't we accompany you to drink a bottle?" ”

Zekuan shook his head.

Zhao Wencheng said: "The best way to let go of a woman is to pick up another one, and tomorrow I will take you to ice skating and introduce you to a few to ensure that you can forget about her as soon as possible." ”

Wu Yi said to him: "Don't do your bad idea. Said to Zekuan: "There is no grass at the end of the world, there are many women who are better than her, even a rotten person like Zhao Wencheng can find a girlfriend, are you worried?" ”

Zhao Wencheng shouted: "Hey, is there such a thing as you who comfort people while hurting people?" ”

Although Zekuan was still sad, he was comforted by a good friend, and he felt a little better.

Wu Yi said: "Let's go, go back, there will be work tomorrow." ”

Although the SARS epidemic has passed, there is still no improvement in the factory, there are not many jobs, and for most young people, the lack of income is not a big problem, and they have nothing to do, just go out to play. Moreover, the "Sun Zhigang Incident" that occurred in Guangzhou this year has attracted the attention of the state, and the "Measures for the Reception and Repatriation of Urban Vagrants and Beggars" will be abolished, and the residence permit will replace the temporary residence permit, and there is no need to worry about being checked for the temporary residence permit. There are several boys in the factory who follow Zhao Wencheng to the skating rink to play, and Wu Yi often goes out alone, so he should have secretly dated Ruan Min.

Zekuan experienced the first emotional setback in his life, and the blow was not small, because he had nothing to do, he thought more, and his heart was even more uncomfortable. Sometimes I can't read a book, I don't have a heart to write, and I become more silent and isolated, often going out alone, walking aimlessly on the street, and often sitting alone in the sand dunes by the river, and sitting until night before returning.

One evening, he went to the river alone, but saw two backs snuggling up to each other, and he recognized them as Wu Yi and Ruan Min.

He was about to leave quietly, but he didn't expect Wu Yi to look back and see him, and called, "Zekuan, come up." ”

Zekuan had no choice but to stand still and said, "I'm gone, I'm going back." ”

Wu Yi said: "Everyone has arrived, and they are still hiding and coming up." ”

Kuan had no choice but to walk up and say a little embarrassed, "I didn't know you were here." ”

Wu Yi said: "It's okay, I know you like it here, this place is really good, it's really comfortable to see the scenery alone, but the most comfortable is still two people, the sky is the tent, the ground is the bed, it is a good place to cheat." ”

Ruan Min reached out and pinched his ear, and he begged for mercy repeatedly.

Zekuan smiled awkwardly, and his heart was even more painful when he saw the sweetness of others.

Wu Yi beckoned him to come and sit down, he went over and sat down a little away from them, and Wu Yi threw him a bag of chocolates.

Ruan Min said: "Zekuan, Wu Yi showed me your article, and it was well written. ”

Zekuan said: "Thank you, in fact, I didn't write very well, I was unsuccessful in submitting to a magazine before, and I revised it and then submitted it to another one before publishing." ”

Ruan Min said: "That means you have improved!" You should write more and vote more in the future. ”

Zekuan nodded, in front of a daughter like her, who didn't know what to think about, he always felt inferior.

After a while, he went there less often, and went later if he wanted to, so as not to be embarrassed by them.

Although the "SARS" epidemic has passed, there is still nothing to do in the factory, Wu Yi is procrastinating, Ruan Min is a master who can spend money, his salary is not enough to spend, and he has to ask Zekuan to borrow money.

On this day, the four of them were bored sitting in the small park listening to the radio, and Zhao Wencheng took the leftovers to lure the sparrows, and then threw them with his head.

Wu Yi scolded him: "Don't be so lacking in virtue, no, they didn't offend you." ”

Zhao Wencheng said: "But I'm jealous of them, why don't we have food if we don't work, they don't need to, why do people get SARS, but they don't, you say that it's not as good as being a bird, this God is too sorry for people." ”

Wu Yi said to him: "Then you have to go back and question your parents, why did they give birth to you as a human being instead of turning you into a sparrow." ”

Zhao Wencheng said: "Forget it, such an esoteric question, I guess they won't understand." ”

Wu Yi didn't want to talk to him, so he said to Zekuan: "Zekuan, I may not be able to pay your salary this month if I borrow your money." ”

Zekuan said: "It's okay, I'm not short of money to spend." ”

Wu Yi said: "You are so economical, of course you have money left, it is all because I used to spend a penny, and now I have to borrow money." ”

Zhao Wencheng smiled evilly and said, "I said Brother Yi, isn't Ruan Min's family rich?" Why do two people spend money when they are happy, you contribute, she contributes, it is justified! If I had a girlfriend like that, I would have to cry to her every day. ”

Wu Yi said of him: "It is her family's business that her family has money, and you think that everyone is as rare as you to eat soft rice." ”

Zhao Wencheng said: "You can look down on me, but you can't look down on soft rice, it has a taste that is easy to digest, what's wrong, I don't have that mouthful for the time being." ”

Wu Yi looked at him and shook his head, and then said, "I can't keep borrowing money like this, I have to find a way to make some extra money." ”

Zhao Wencheng smiled evilly and asked, "Then are you planning to sell blood or donate sperm?" ”
