Chapter 9 Accidents
The Spring Festival in the second year of high school may be the happiest Spring Festival in Wu Yueming's life. Yes, Lei Ruochen didn't say anything, the two of them were just good friends and classmates in the final analysis, but this had already made Wu Yueming fascinated.
After the Spring Festival, Wu Yueming came to the county seat three days before the start of school and came to Gangmingju. In this way, he could see Lei Ruochen three days earlier, standing in front of the window and looking at Lei Ruochen sitting in the study, they said Happy New Year to each other in sign language! At this time, he doesn't care about the future, and he doesn't care about the past, and he is complete at this moment. On the first day of school, Lei Ruochen gave him a set of Kierkegaard's complete works. That day, after the evening self-study class, Tang Xiaogang and Xu Tingjuan chattered non-stop, and the two of them talked about interesting things that happened during the Spring Festival. The two of them did not follow two hundred meters behind as usual, but walked side by side with Wu Yueming and Lei Ruochen. During the whole process, Wu Yueming and Lei Ruochen could only laugh dryly and couldn't interject a word. Fortunately, Tang Xiaogang and Xu Tingjuan returned to their previous normal state the next day.
Sometimes, Wu Yueming stood in front of the window and looked at the azure cloud-patterned curtains in Lei Ruochen's study, thinking that the days when he and Lei Ruochen lived so peacefully and quietly might not change until the college entrance examination ended. Unexpectedly, an accidental incident set off a huge storm on campus.
If that hadn't happened, it would have been a quiet day as always. After dinner, Lei Ruochen was tutoring Wu Yueming in English as usual. At this time, Tang Xiaogang ran over and said: "Something big happens, someone is going to commit suicide by jumping off the building." "Tang Xiaogang often comes to the 802 class.
"What? Who wants to commit suicide by jumping off a building? Wu Yueming didn't believe his ears, in fact, three years ago, there was a girl jumping off the building in the school to commit suicide, the reason is unknown, it is said that he committed suicide for love. Wu Yueming heard about this when he was a freshman in high school.
"A senior sister, I heard that it is from the 713 class." Tang Xiaogang shook his head and said.
"Okay, so why did she jump off the building?" Lei Ruochen raised his head and asked.
"I've heard that too," Tang Xiaogang said, and his voice became very quiet. "She was pregnant, and I heard that it was more than five months old, and when her boyfriend found out, he broke up with her instead. I guess she didn't figure it out for a while, and climbed to the top of the senior high school teaching building to commit suicide by jumping off the building."
"Ahh Lei Ruochen and Wu Yueming made their voices almost at the same time, and then both looked at each other meaningfully.
Just when Tang Xiaogang was talking to Wu Yueming and Lei Ruochen about this, the senior sister of class 713 jumped from the roof of the seventh floor and died on the spot. She deliberately chose to jump off the building during the dinner break, she wanted to attract attention, and there was a half-hour gap between when someone found her standing on the roof of the building and when she jumped. She attracted a large number of onlookers from her classmates, which was exactly what she wanted, and the teachers called the police and organized personnel to take measures. But when she saw that there were enough people, she jumped off.
According to the memories of the classmates present, she jumped down with a smile. The palm of his right hand clenches a piece of paper tightly. It reads: "Please my companions never believe the sweet words of the boys, I confirm it with my life." The people on the spot, those who saw this note, couldn't help but weaken their legs. Later, upon examination, it was found that she was indeed five months pregnant.
The impact of this incident on the school was unprecedented, and many students witnessed death for the first time, or felt it for the first time that death was happening around them. The next day, the school asked the psychology teacher to conduct psychological counseling for the students who witnessed the jumping scene one by one, and Xu Tingjuan was one of them. Needless to say, the school has repeatedly announced that early love is not allowed, requiring every student to write a letter of guarantee. If you fall in love, once it is verified, you will voluntarily drop out of school.
After the jumping incident, for a whole month, there were no male and female students walking side by side on campus, let alone two classmates, a man and a woman, walking together. Even outside of school, there are very few male and female students walking together. During that time, on the bridge, it was no longer Wu Yueming and Lei Ruochen walking together, Xu Tingting and Tang Xiaogang were talking and laughing. Time seems to return to the first year of high school, Lei Ruochen and Xu Tingjuan walked in front, Wu Yueming and Tang Xiaogang walked behind, the two groups of people and horses were about 200 meters apart, and under the moonlight, Wu Yueming could only enjoy Lei Ruochen's back.
In fact, not just a month, but a whole semester later. Wu Yueming was not able to walk side by side with Lei Ruochen on the Bridge of Pity, but as the summer vacation passed. At the beginning of a new school year, the school has a new blood injection into the campus, and everything is back to the same. Fortunately, in the classroom, as at the beginning, Lei Ruochen still tutored Wu Yueming English every day. In Gangmingju, Wu Yueming is still used to standing in front of the window and looking at the azure moire curtains in Lei Ruochen's study. is still painting, but it is not given to Lei Ruochen again.
In general, the jumping incident did not have much impact on the relationship between Lei Ruochen and Wu Yueming, but it made them stop and think about it. is a little bad for Tang Xiaogang, Xu Tingjuan said that she wants to break up with him, and it is not too late to fall in love when she waits until college. During that time, Tang Xiaogang was a little depressed. Wu Yueming had no choice but to comfort him and said: "You don't have to wait until the end of the college entrance examination, everything will get up after this summer vacation." ”
The jumping incident cast a thin layer of smoke over the school, and no one wanted to step into the bloodstained concrete floor, so they all chose to take a detour. Eventually, the school decided to remove the concrete floor and plant a camphor tree on it. At the same time, the school let the four of them withdraw from school because they remained in a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship after signing a letter of guarantee. For a while, such a thing as early love seemed to be truly extinct on campus. I heard that the results of that college entrance examination were the best in the last five years.
