Chapter 026: Awkward & Otaku
After grinding for a long time, Ji Lan was still sitting in the classroom, he suddenly didn't want to leave, dropped his schoolbag, and lay motionless on the desk.
Li Baocheng came out of the office, thinking that he would be the last one to leave in Class 6, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw that his roommate still had time to sleep on the table.
"Ji Lan," Li Baocheng picked up the old man's schoolbag, moved to Ji Lan's side from the narrow aisle with difficulty, and reached out to tap on the tabletop, "Why don't you leave?" ”
Ji Lan's voice seemed to come out of the ground: "I don't want to think about it for the time being." ”
Li Baocheng glanced at his watch, "It's ten o'clock, and you won't be able to catch the last train if you leave." ”
Ji Lan reacted a little at this time, and raised his head without hurrying, "Hmm." ”
"I heard that Yu Limiao in the next class lives very close to you, and you also reminded her, I'm leaving."
Ji Lanteng stood up suddenly, grabbed the strap of his schoolbag and rushed into the fifth class.
Yu Limiao was standing up with her schoolbag, and met Ji Lan's panicked eyes head-on, she was slightly stunned for a few seconds, walked out of the classroom, stood in the corridor and waited for him to come out and locked the classroom door.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Ji Lan followed Yu Limiao to the back door, always standing behind her.
"The teacher has something to do with me, and I just went back to the classroom." Yu Remiao replied in a very light tone.
Ji Lan: "Hmm. I'm waiting for you. ”
Yu Limiao paused, "I'm going to Gu Ying's house today, you can go back by yourself." ”
Ji Lan was stunned, and didn't speak again all the way, until he found that Yu Limiao really stopped under the roadside stop sign in the opposite direction from home.
He couldn't keep his conversation box closed, "Is there anything important for you to go over there?" ”
Yu Limiao glanced at it and stared down at the white paper bag in her arms, "Gu Ying won't come to class next week, the teacher asked me to bring his homework, as well as the notes and handouts sorted out by each subject." ”
Ji Lan also understood, but what he wondered was that Yu Limiao knew Gu Yingjia's address before himself?
"You're a girl, it's so late, it's inconvenient to send it and then go home, the teacher should think of this." Ji Lan blurted out, feeling in his heart that the teacher who commanded people was very shameful.
"There's no way around it, it's like the whole class knows it."
Ji Lan subconsciously opened her mouth, "When did you know?" ”
Yu Limiao raised her head, "Sister Lei Yu told me, I thought you knew." ”
Ji Lan turned his head and looked to the right, "No, I was busy with ...... for the past few days" I was busy dealing with Lu Xiaomi, and I didn't have time to ask Gu Ying about it. Ji Lan didn't say this.
"How is Gu Ying doing now?"
Yu Limiao: "Actually, it's fine, he just doesn't want to go to school." That's what Sister Lei Yu told me. ”
"Hmm."
The words fell, and 271 stopped in front of the two of them.
"Listen to the song?" Ji Lan asked, his hand already handing out a headset.
"No thanks."
Ji Lan felt bored listening to the song alone, so after taking off the headphones, he stuffed it into his schoolbag with his mobile phone.
Last time, Ji Lan felt very strange when he went to Gu Yingjia alone, but this time there was a fish seedling by his side, and he felt very happy inexplicably, and he seemed to be happy wherever he went.
Yu Limiao was quite surprised, Ji Lan was very aware of Gu Ying's affairs, and also gave her a preventive injection in advance, saying that if Gu Ying's father was there at that time, he would look into his eyes when he spoke, just say whatever he wanted, don't be nervous.
Speaking of which, Yu Limiao suddenly felt strange to go to another boy's house with a boy.
"What's wrong?"
Yu Limiao turned her head sideways and did not speak.
"I'll ring the doorbell."
Yu Limiao moved out of the way.
The person who opened the door was a nanny, and when he looked at the two strangers, he knew that it was Mr. Gu's son's classmate, and welcomed the two into the house with a smile, handed them slippers, and said busily: "Mrs. is cooking in the kitchen, and the young master is upstairs, I'll take you up first." With that, she informed her wife and went upstairs with a plate of cut watermelons.
If Yu Limiao came to see him alone, Gu Ying would not only be happy, but also excited, just like the long-awaited gift finally appeared in the palm of his hand.
But Ji Lan's appearance would not surprise or discourage Gu Ying.
A safe distance was maintained between the three of them, and after only a few words, Ji Lan and Yu Limiao left.
The air inside the mansion is all luxury, but the outside is different, the two took a big breath, glanced at each other sideways, guessed each other's psychology at once, and laughed out loud in the next second.
It was already dark, there was no 261 at seven o'clock, Ji Lan couldn't see a trace of anxiety on Yu Limiao's face, he was quite surprised.
"We can take 271, and when we get to Wangjiawan, we will transfer to another station, and then we can walk back, which is about ten minutes away, and it doesn't take long."
Ji Lan was taken aback again, if the person standing next to her was Lu Xiaomi, she would definitely dance and chirp for a long time, worrying about this, worrying about that, she would not give herself any quiet at all, and the noise would always be the constant echo in her ears.
And Yu Limiao is just the opposite, she is quiet all the time, Ji Lan feels very comfortable with her, not only her ears, but also her heart.
The two took the 7:10 a.m. 271 to Wangjiawan, which was surrounded by roads on all sides, but it was originally an independent residential area, but it had been transformed into a road a year ago, and the name of the station remained the same as before.
The parents of the two families learned that their child's companion was a friend's child, and they were very relieved.
Ji Lan was happy to walk back with Yu Limiao, even if he walked to the ends of the earth. Sometimes he would sneak a glance, but he didn't know that the direction of his steps had invisibly shifted to the center of the road.
Yu Limiao was still sharp-eyed and quick-handed, and she pulled him back before the cars on both sides had passed. "Those cars are driving fast, be careful of scratches."
Ji Lan blushed for his carelessness, and also blushed for the temperature of Yu Limiao's palm, "I'm sorry for what happened last time." ”
Yu Limiao didn't understand, and asked him what was the matter.
"A little thing happened, and I forgot to wait for you."
Yu Limiao remembered it, and said that she didn't care, but in fact, she still cared, and she didn't know that she had deceived herself.
"Also, it's Lu Xiaomi's injury, I've heard about it."
When it came to this, although Yu Limiao was aggrieved, she also knew very well that the classmates in other classes had already spread her ugly things, and she didn't feel that she was very kind but very cowardly when she admitted what she hadn't done.
"I didn't hit her!" This was the first time she had spoken to him in a heavy tone, and the tranquility on her face disappeared in an instant. "It was just an accident, but it has nothing to do with me, do you know how her wound is now?"
Ji Lan was surprised, "No, you misunderstood, Yu Limiao." He stopped, his hands on her shoulders, "I never thought you hit her on purpose, she's fine now." ”
"But why do you ask me?"
Ji Lan realized that it was a mistake for her to ask, "I'm sorry, Lu Xiaomi doesn't know who knocked her down, but I believe it won't be you." She doesn't like anything to think about, she's stupid. ”
"It doesn't matter to me whether she's stupid or not."
"Well, yes, it has nothing to do with you."
After hearing this, Yu Limiao stared at Ji Lan's face, and the subtext in her heart was: It's not about me, it has something to do with you, you are so good, you stick together every day.
"Let's go." Yu Remiao pushed his hand away, and subconsciously grabbed the strap of the backpack with both hands and walked in front. An uncontrollable grievance in my heart surged up from the bottom of my heart.
Although she doesn't often see Lu Xiaomi at school, she always finds that the classmates around her are all smiling, talking and laughing. And among them, Ji Lan is like a landscape around her that will never change, and her surroundings are empty.
There is no harm if there is no comparison, she doesn't want to admit that she feels lonely, but she seems to have become a cold monster in the mouth of a few girls, but she also knows that she longs for friends and longs for someone who can always accompany her.
She thought that person would be Ji Lan, but in fact it was never like this.
The two entered the building and walked into the elevator, and no one spoke. She kept her head half-bowed so that he could not see his face.
Leaving without saying goodbye, let alone saying goodbye tomorrow, it's like each other is a stranger, no, strangers still smile, the two of them can't laugh.
Yu Rei Nao just wants to go home quickly.
For many student parties, weekends are about calling friends to go out to play, playing until dark, playing games together, playing games with their parents, playing late at night, or chatting with classmates until midnight......
Yu Limiao is not, this community is still very strange to her, and her classmates are also strangers, in the saying of the town, she can't let go of herself to go outside, she likes to stay in the place she thinks is the most familiar and safe, do her homework, watch anime, and that's it.
Yu Limiao's mother happened to be off on Saturday, and after washing her clothes on the balcony in the morning, she looked down and looked up, and she saw a man and a woman downstairs walking in the direction of the supermarket, and after she took a closer look, she recognized the boy as Ji Lan, she stood and pushed open the balcony door, "Miao Miao, Ji Lan is downstairs, I'll help you shout, can you go out for a walk with them?" ”
Yu Limiao came out of the bedroom when she heard the sound, leaned her back against the door frame and looked over with a disgusted face, "Mom, this is not like the town it used to be, you can't yell casually, I don't want to go anywhere." ”
Yu Limiao's mother didn't like her daughter to stay at home all day, and said countless things, but unfortunately she didn't have that time to move her.
"Miao Miao, we've been moving for a few months, it doesn't matter if the others don't know each other, Ji Lan, you're familiar with it, why don't you make an appointment to go out and have fun together?" After that, the mother pointed downstairs with a clothes pole, "Look at it, the girl next to Ji Lan is smiling, and her personality is more cheerful and likable than you, you ......"
Yu Limiao had already closed the door with a bang and plunged into the homework pile.
Yes, since I was a child, my mother has said the most things: Look at other children, they love to laugh and make trouble, and their mouths are sweet, and they are all cute. You're either reading a book at home or walking outside with a sad face, and that kid will like to play with you? Adults are also uncomfortable to look at.
In the past, Yu Limiao didn't believe it, thinking that her mother was alarmist, but now she has to feel that it is indeed the case.
Even if his grades have always been in the top three, he has never violated the school rules and class rules, but both his classmates and teachers like those children who love to laugh and make trouble.
And at best, she will only be said that she is a very smart child, and that's all.
Clever?
Yu Limiao never felt that she was smart, and she envied the kind of classmates who would still make the teacher happy when they slept in class and made a fuss after class.
Her classmates and teachers were amazed that she could do all those problems, and she smiled bitterly because they didn't know how many hours it took her to solve them.
