Chapter 1: Superfluous People
Jingle bells, jingle bellsγγγγγγ
At more than 5 o'clock in the morning, Lin Xiaoyu woke up from a rush of alarm bells, rubbed his eyes, turned on the bedside lamp, put on his clothes, pants, shoes and socks and rushed to the kitchen, washing rice, washing pots, making porridge, stir-frying pickles, and fried eggs.
"Hey, I'm so sleepy, I really want to sleep beautifully," since the death of his mother, breakfast has become Lin Xiaoyu's daily task, and he feels that he can't sleep enough every day. After putting away the porridge and putting away the dishes and chopsticks that her father had eaten last night, she went back to her bedroom, took out her high school English dictionary and half-leaned on the head of the bed to recite the words. "It's my third year of high school, no matter how tired I am, I have to get through," this seventeen or eighteen-year-old, somewhat thin little girl waved her little fist, and immediately lifted her spirits, making it look like she was going to do a big job.
"Sister, get up and eat early to go to school," Lin Xiaoyu shouted.
A girl wearing a nightgown, fluffy hair, but very beautiful, came out of the right bedroom, entered the bathroom, slammed the bathroom door, and washed herself. At this time, the door of the master bedroom on the left side also opened, and a middle-aged woman with a delicate face and a plump body walked out, brought the door, shook her eyebrows, looked directly at Lin Xiaoyu and said, "If you are quiet, you will die, your father will have to talk about business later, can you save me some snacks?" Lin Xiaoyu dodged the somewhat cold gaze, lowered his head, and said nothing.
"Mom, help me find the knitted dress I bought last week, I'll wear it later," the voice came from the bathroom. "Daughter, it's cold, you have to wear more, your clothes are too cool, right? It's not good to be frozen! The middle-aged woman admonished. Don't be verbose, hurry up, I'm going to change my clothes, bring them in! The woman shook her head and went into her daughter's bedroom to look for clothes.
This middle-aged woman is the wife of her father Lin Dasong after her mother's death, called Wu Jiaoyan, as her name suggests, she dresses up like a butterfly every day, she is indeed very delicate, and her father is also very obsessed with it. And the "sister" here is Lin Xiaoyu's half-sister, Zhang Xiaofei, she is the little princess of the family, baby!
"Da Song, eat more, I'll have to go out to get busy later," the stepmother filled my father with a big bowl, a fried egg, and a big spoonful of pickles.
"Dad, Auntie, I'm full and I'm going to school," Lin Xiaoyu whispered. After Zhang Xiaofei heard it, she picked up a few mouthfuls of porridge, threw away her chopsticks, and said: "I won't eat, it's late, Dad, give me 100 yuan, I'll buy something to eat and go to school, it's long at noon, I'm starving to death." Zhang Dasong looked at Xiaofei, then at Wu Jiaoyan, took out his wallet, took out a piece of Grandpa Mao, handed it to Zhang Xiaofei, and was about to put the wallet back in his pocket, glanced at Lin Xiaoyu, the left hand holding the wallet paused, and the right hand rummaged in the wallet, took out a 20 yuan bill and handed it to Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu hurriedly waved her hand, saying that the money she gave last week had not been spent. At this moment, Zhang Xiaofei grabbed the 20 yuan, quickly put it in her pocket, picked up her schoolbag and shouted while rushing out, "I'll help you collect it, I'll ask me if I don't have any money, Xiaoyu, hurry up, I'm going to be late." Lin Xiaoyu picked up his schoolbag and followed out.
Chengnan No. 1 Middle School is a key high school in the county, and it is the school that Lin Xiaoyu and Zhang Xiaofei are studying at now. The school is quite large, with more than 1,600 students and 30 classes in the third year of high school. Xiaoyu's grades are good, in class 1003, the first five classes are the top classes in the school, and her sister Zhang Xiaofei is in class 1029.
As soon as she arrived at the school gate, Zhang Xiaofei met a few classmates who were also dressed a little cool, entered the school gate, waved her hand to Lin Xiaoyu, and pulled those classmates to stand next to her and chat, there are a lot of people near the gate today, and most of them are girls, and they look at the school gate from time to time, as if they are waiting for something. Xiaoyu had to be alone, with her head down, to rush to the teaching building. "Bang", from the corner came out of the corner of the integrated sturdy girl, and Xiaoyu collided with a full embrace, Xiaoyu almost fell, and the fat girl stood still.
"Hahaha, look at that fat girl and little earth girl," not far away, a few "cool girls" walking with Zhang Xiaofei laughed. "Tu Baozi, what's so beautiful, why hasn't he come yet, is the time right?" Zhang Xiaofei said, then glanced at "sister", a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, and pulled her good sister to continue chatting.
"Are you alright, Xiaoyu?" The fat girl grabbed Lin Xiaoyu. "It's okay, it's okay, what are you doing so fast, Liu Yunyun," Xiaoyu asked. Liu Yunyun panted and said, "You don't know, oopsγγγγγγ That one...... I heard about the class next doorγγγγγγ There is a transfer student from another city, who is a top student, a super handsome guy, and said that he will arrive today. β
"I said that there are so many female students near the school gate today, could it be that they are all waiting for him?" Xiaoyu said. "Almost, let's go, let's take a look, there is still half an hour before class," Liu Yunyun couldn't help but say, pulling up the light rain and walking out. "Eh, I still have homework," Xiaoyu shouted, "What do you do, there's a lot of time." And soγγγγγγ Lin Xiaoyu also became an honorable member of the "fan group".
About 10 minutes later, a teenager walked in from the school gate, the boy was wearing a white sweatshirt on his body, black slim trousers underneath, and a pair of black-faced and white-soled sneakers on his feet. The atmosphere around became lively, "Dig, my castle!" "What kind of city is it?" Is it that old? It's my Kaikai! "What's yours? You don't look in the mirror either? β
The young man paid little attention to the noise, but only glanced at the crowd a little, and walked in calmly with a brisk step.
Lin Xiaoyu didn't feel a little distracted, and a poem inadvertently came to his heart: "Spring travel, apricot blossoms blow all over the head." Mo is young and romantic. The concubine intends to marry and rest for the rest of her life. Even if you are ruthlessly abandoned, you can't be ashamed. "Ahh What kind of mess is it? Xiaoyu blushed a little.
Just when Xiaoyu was stunned, the girls all squeezed over here. Without paying attention, Xiaoyu was knocked out again, and when he was about to fall to the ground, he was suddenly held firmly by a strong and powerful hand. "Bang, bang, bang, bang", looking at the close-up, handsome face of the young man in front of him, feeling his breathing, Xiaoyu's heart almost jumped out.
"Are you alright, classmate?" The boy asked with concern. "I'm fine, I'm okay, thank you," Xiaoyu straightened up, took a small step back and said, her face reddening even more.
"Little earth girl, you don't have long eyes," someone in the crowd shouted. "yes, yes, look at her hairy hands, she's laughing to death," someone shouted again. "Classmate, stay away from her, the buns will be contagious," one girl shouted.
The young man, ignoring those chirping shouts, shook his arms, walked towards the teaching building, and when he came to Xiaoyu's side, he whispered to Xiaoyu: "I'm sorry just now, my name is He Feifei, goodbye." The boy walked away, and the crowd dispersed boringly. Xiaoyu was a little lonely, and thought to herself: "My mother is gone, and I have become a child that no one loves." Father? He only has a stepmother in his eyes, not to mention the stepmother, who has not been recruited by the woman over the years, at the age of 12, he took on the task of making breakfast for his family, and when he came home from self-study at night, he had to wait for housework to have time to wash and review his homework, and that sister was already playing with her mobile phone in the bed, my father couldn't give me anything, and others couldn't give me anything, I couldn't ask for charity from others, I had to try to find a way out of my own, and there was only one way out, which was to read, read, read, and leave all distractions, read, read, read, read! I believe that hope is at my feet, and I believe that dreams must be far away! When Xiaoyu looked up at the back of the young man again, the young man was like the breeze had disappeared, and his heart was like a stop to the water, and he was not alarmed.
"Xiaoyu, let's go, why are you still in a daze?" Liu Yunyun pushed Lin Xiaoyu. "Well, let's go, it's time for class, come on! Come on! We all have to do it! Lin Xiaoyu picked up Liu Yunyun and walked to the classroom. Hey? What's going on? Are you beating the blood? Liu Yunyun was a little puzzled, but his footsteps did not fall.
Lin Xiaoyu didn't notice it, not far away, a pair of cold eyes stared at her back. Zhang Xiaofei's eyes were cold, her hands were tight, and the scene where He Feifei bent her knees to catch Xiaoyu just now made her unable to let go for a long time.
