After I said that, An Yuqiu and I had a complete cold war.

Looking at her departing back, my heart ached. I knew that I was reluctant to let her go, but that fragile self-esteem hindered my steps, and I didn't go up to chase her after all.

I also feel that I didn't do anything wrong.........

When I returned to the classroom, Gu Cheng, the class leader, came over and said to me, "Tan Lige, your name is also reported on the radio, let's go together." ”

Her relaxed smile seemed to be saying something very ordinary. I looked around as if I was looking around, and when I noticed that no one was looking, I answered:

"Class leader, I didn't report this project, it should be the teacher who made a mistake."

"Well, but ......."

Before Gu Cheng finished speaking, I left first.

At that time, I was so curious, why Gu Cheng could accept his family background so calmly, in this school for rich children, she used cheap school supplies, and wore an almost white-washed shirt like me, so she didn't feel very unusual at all, was it strange?

In front of her classmates, she unabashedly revealed her family background, and even wrote it in the exam essay, and the essay was posted on the school's bulletin board.

At that time, I really didn't understand her.

I was standing in the hallway and was about to go inside, when Hagaoka suddenly came from one side and sat down in his seat.

She looked at me with a frown, as if wondering what I would do in the face of such a provocation.

At first, I was naturally angry, but I was afraid that some of the words I said impulsively would be overwhelming, so I chose to remain silent, and slowly moved the empty table behind her back and walked in.

After I sat down, she began to pack her things. Originally, our books were close together, and Yuqiu would even take up half of my desk, but now, she moved all her things to the other side, opened a gap in the desk, and moved the stool to the side of the aisle.

She's trying to draw a line.

Looking at the table that suddenly became empty, my mood was also a little empty.

But I don't want to admit my mistake to her yet, it's clear that she is embarrassed by her assertions, why do you want me to admit my mistake first?

Thinking of this, I also moved my book to the other side and leaned against the window.

That day, she ran outside after class, and when it came to the meal, she didn't pull me away as usual, but walked with a girl who had eaten with her before.

Zhang Huaixu put his hands in his trouser pockets, glanced at Yuqiu's distant back, looked at me again, and walked away without saying anything.

"Hey, Zhang Huaixu, don't you care if they quarrel?" Hao Jianren grabbed Zhang Huaixu's shoulder from behind and asked in a low voice.

"What do I do about their girls?"

"That's okay, Tan Lige, do you want to have dinner with our two old men?"

"It's okay, I'll go by myself later." I smiled with him.

"And we're leaving?"

"Uh-huh......."

When they were gone, I leaned back in my chair and looked up to see the fan slowly spinning in circles, and the golden sunlight turned into a starlight through the pale blue curtains.

Time seemed to slow down, and even my worries continued.

"Hey, Tan Lige, what are you doing?"

At the sound of the voice, I opened my eyes violently, and a pair of smiling eyes overwhelmed my entire vision.

"Ahh I instinctively screamed.

"What are you doing here if you don't go to dinner?" She walked around from behind me and sat in the seat of the feather hill, with neat and slightly curly ultra-short hair and a pair of smiling eyes, which looked cute.

It was the squad leader Gu Cheng.

"Squad leader....... ”

"Last time I performed on New Year's Day, I heard you sing, and I thought you sang so well, I wanted to ask you if you would like to participate in the school's music festival competition."

"Me?"

"Yes, you have a lot of potential, and in my professional experience, your voice is not only good, but you also have no less than five years of experience. This event must have one person from each class, and the opportunity is rare, don't you really think about it? ”

"I'm not going."

Gu Cheng hesitated: "In this way, are you free tonight?" Come to my house and I'll show you the information about this festival. ”

"Huh?"

"That's it, wait for me after school." After Gu Cheng finished speaking, he walked away.

In the past, I used to go home with Yuqiu and Zhang Huaixu, and then the three of them gathered around to eat.

I had an awkward fight with An Yuqiu today, and I walked with Gu Cheng, so that when school is over, I should be able to avoid embarrassment.

"yes, okay."

Today is Friday, and there is no evening self-study, so school will be out at five o'clock.

When I was out of school, I didn't dare to look at An Yuqiu, so after bypassing the back seat, I hurried to Gu Cheng who was standing at the door.

Gu Cheng's home is in the suburbs far from the school, even more remote than my previous home. The scenery along the way gradually changed from high-rise buildings to low-rise adobe bungalows, and the field of vision gradually broadened.

"Do you have to ride home for so long every day?"

"Yes, the cost of living on campus is too expensive, and spending two dollars a day to go home is just a waste of time."

Gu Cheng had a homework book on her lap, and in the interval when I was in a daze looking at the scenery, she had already done the math homework to the last big problem, and the handwriting was very clear, not affected by the bumps of the vehicle at all.

When she saw that I had been staring at her workbook, she smiled and explained to me, "Oh, after a long time, I'm used to it." If you don't do it in the car, you may not be able to go home. ”

This trip took two and a half hours to drive, and when I got off the bus, it was already slightly dark.

She led me into an alley that wasn't long. The north-south passage is only seven or eight hundred meters. On both sides of the alley are courtyards made of thick loess, one after the other. The yard is the same height and size, with more than a dozen houses on one side, neatly arranged, and you can't see the houses inside, only the spacious big wooden doors, double doors, and the chimneys with green smoke on the roof.

If you don't live here all year round, you should easily get lost.

"When I arrive, my house is in front of me." Gu Cheng pointed to a low bungalow at the end of the alley and said to me.

When I opened the wooden door, it was dark and damp, and I was greeted by the smell of mold, a small house, with a bed in the corner, and a tattered television and a dining table and a few chairs next to the bed. In the middle of the room hung a dim light bulb.

The bedroom, living room, and kitchen are all crammed into such a small space.

"Mom? Mom, I'm back. Gu Cheng shouted inside, and a little boy of three or four years old ran out.

"Sister, sister......." His little face was dirty, his skin was dark, and his eyes were as bright as stars.

"Little good." Gu Cheng picked up her brother and introduced him to me, "He is my brother Gu Li." My family is relatively small, don't dislike it. ”

"The town is back." An old woman with the same dark skin came out of it, her face a little haggard, "Yo, there are classmates coming to the house today." Why don't you call me and tell me that I'm cooking more. ”

The old woman stepped forward and grabbed me: "You are a classmate from the small town, come and sit here, and the meal will start in a while." The child's father went to work and was not at home. ”

Her hands are rough, like tree bark. Her smile is very simple and can make people let go of all their guards.

Gu Cheng pulled me towards the back room.

There is only less than 10 square meters of space inside, and there is a bed with kang, separated only by a screen, Gu Cheng said that this is her exclusive room, usually, her parents and younger brother sleep on the small bed outside.

"I'm sorry, my family's situation, I didn't scare you."

I shook my head, "No." I think it's good. ”

"Oh, by the way, these are the materials for the music competition, you can take a look." Gu Cheng took a stack of materials from a stack of green bricks on the desk and handed it to me.

I silently put them down and said to her, "You didn't come to me today for this.......

Gu Cheng smiled.

"Do you think I'm too much? There's no way, I'm a person, I can't get rid of this blind and enthusiastic problem, Lao Zheng chose me to be the squad leader, that's because of this. ”

"Don't people always say that the flowers that grow in difficult situations are the most beautiful? But I'm not a flower, I just want to hide the ugliest of myself, you know?"

She nodded, and I don't know, if she understood.

"It doesn't matter. Actually, I invited you to my house today, and it's not just for that. You see that you have been transferring schools for so long, and as the class leader, I haven't taken much care of you, so I thought about inviting you to come to my house and make amends to you........."

I learned from An Yuqiu's mouth early in the morning that Gu Cheng's family background was not good, and it could even be described as bad, huddled in front of the small square table, eating food with no oil and water at all, I seemed to have lost the qualification to complain about life all of a sudden.

Gu Cheng's mother had been serving vegetables to Gu Cheng, and the dim light reflected on her face, making the smile on her face more and more obvious.

"Little town, eat more food, so that you can grow up and be in good health. Are you tired from school today, how are you getting along with your classmates......."

"Mom, I'm fine." Gu Cheng turned his head and apologized to me, "I'm sorry, my mother has always been like this, she likes to nag." ”

It's okay, it's been a long time since anyone can talk in my ear, and I even start to miss the days when I practiced singing hard, at least at that time, my mother would be with me all day and all night, nagging in my ear.

Looking at the picture in front of me, I suddenly understood why Gu Cheng was able to face his family situation calmly, I think there should be nothing, it will be more precious than the time when the family gets together.......
