Chapter 1 The Mediterranean
"Qingqing, Dad is leaving, can you obediently listen to Mom at home?" Ke Xinrong squatted in front of Xiao Keqing, kneading her pink little face with two big hands, as if kneading a smooth piece of small dough.
Ke Qing nodded vigorously, took a small step forward, put his little hand on the top of Ke Xinrong's head, and learned from his father's usual way of arranging his hair, inserting his fingers between Ke Xinrong's hair, and slightly unblocking the hair that was a little knotted due to the sea breeze, and his clear and immature voice sounded, "Well, don't worry, Dad." ”
Ke Xinrong got up, put one hand on Shang Xiangyun's shoulder to comfort her, and the other hand stroked the top of Ke Qing's head. The sky is sinking and there is an endless sea in front of you that can easily swallow everything, and the waves bring up layers of white foam every time they roll in a hurry, and the ships docked on the shore are also affected by the raging waves, one after another.
"Mom, why is Dad's picture hanging on the wall?" Xiao Keqing looked up at Shang Xiangyun, she didn't understand why she was picked up here as soon as she got out of school.
Shang Xiangyun didn't answer, she just stood motionless in front of the photo, staring at Ke Xinrong's smiling face in the photo with a dull gaze, and his thick and clear voice seemed to be ringing in her ears. But a person who was fine a few days ago is now lying alone in the cold and dark coffin. His eyes were dry and red, but he couldn't shed a single tear, and his heart was empty.
Ke Qing looked at the black-and-white photo of Ke Xinrong smiling in the middle of the mourning hall, it was placed there quietly, with wreaths sent by others on both sides, and the uncle stood on the left side of the photo with his head down, his hands covering his face, and his shoulders were still twitching. Somehow her nose was sore, and she suddenly seemed to realize something, and she cried out. Her cry suddenly woke up Shang Xiangyun, who didn't want to admit the fact that her husband in front of her had left her.
"Cry, you know crying! Your dad is the one who made you cry away! ”
"There are so many things going on at home, you are still crying, don't you think there are enough things?!"
But no matter how Shang Xiangyun was angry with Ke Qing, Ke Qing's crying never stopped.
Is it my fault that my father left my mother, Xu Ruqing, who was only six years old, curled up in a corner of the room with her messy short hair, tears still couldn't stop falling, she didn't even dare to make a sound, so she bit her lower lip raw. She fell asleep on her lap in a daze, with a few tears hanging from her long eyelashes.
"Knock knock!" Looks like someone is there? Knocking on the table?
Yang Youan seemed to be afraid that he wouldn't wake up Xu Ruqing, so he hit her hard with his leg under the table, Xu Ruqing was obviously startled, and opened his eyes suddenly. A short woman in a dark blue suit crossed her waist, emotional and slightly hideous, broke into the eyes.
"Xu Ruqing! Do you stand up for me, is my class for you to sleep? The short woman said.
"Hahaha......"
"It's miserable, and I've been caught in the Mediterranean again."
Xu Ruqing stood up, rubbed his eyes, and finally stood up reluctantly. She is used to this kind of situation, there are always a few "bad" students in each class who give the teacher a headache, and she is a little helpless to say, Xu Ruqing is one of them.
Of course, this "Mediterranean" teacher, who is slightly bald on the top of his head and insists on wearing a shawl, can really be called the scum of teachers. She doesn't seem to like girls very much, especially girls who are a little beautiful, and she has been educating every female student who is called to the office by her with the idea of "no matter how you dress up, you won't attract a boy". The righteous words he said again and again were impassioned, under the banner of 'I'm all for your good', and counted the girls all over the body, Xu Ruqing experienced it personally.
"Xu Ruqing, go to the back of the station, block the classmates behind, punish the station every day, and grow tall in vain." Mediterranean glanced at Xu Ruqing fiercely, as if he smelled the smoke on her body, shook the textbook in his hand fiercely, turned around angrily, walked to the podium, and said as he walked: "Don't be like some people, a bad habit!" ”
Meng Shishi, who was sitting in the front row, saw Xu Ruqing being taught by the teacher, and rolled her eyes in the direction of Xu Ruqing's seat to show her scorn for such classmates who disrupted classroom discipline, but she couldn't stop being happy in her heart.
Xu Ruqing glanced at Yang Youan, expressed his helplessness with his eyes, and turned around and walked to the back of the classroom.
There will always be a few "other people's children" around everyone, who are talented and intelligent, and have excellent character and learning. The most infuriating thing is that he was obviously born excellent, but the efforts he usually makes do not have to be less than anyone. This kind of person will be loved and hated by people wherever he goes, and He Yu is such a person.
Mediterranean walked to the podium and picked up the class report card on the desk, and the atmosphere in the class instantly became tense.
"Ahem, cough, cough" Mediterranean cleared his throat and said, "I will now announce the results of our class's first monthly examination since the second year of high school. ”
"First place, what a encounter." There was a round of applause in the class, and the girls all looked at He Yu with envy, including Meng Shishi.
Someone below whispered to the ear canal:
"What a great encounter?"
"Not only are people good-looking, but they are also so good in other aspects."
Xu Ruqing looked at He Yu, who was sitting in the third row with her back to her, and the scene when she first saw He Yu appeared in front of her.
Dexian High School is the leader of many schools in Fushui City, and at the opening ceremony of the first year of high school, He Yu spoke on the rostrum as a representative of the freshmen. Xu Ruqing stood in the last row, a little far away, probably the boy on the stage was long, his skin was dazzlingly white, although he looked a little sickly, a little thin and weak, but his facial features were not plain, his eyebrows were picturesque, and his face was clearly outlined, like a person who walked out of a painting.
Mediterranean looked at He Yu and showed a very relieved smile, and continued: "He Yu is not only the first place in our class, but also the first place in our whole school. ”
"Second place, Meng Shishi." Meng Shishi sat more upright when she heard the voice, Mediterranean looked at the report card, then looked at Meng Shishi, nodded, and said: "The grades are also very good, everyone should learn more from them." There was another round of applause in the class.
"Third place, Sun Yi, fourth place...... Last place, Xu Ruqing. ”
Meng Shishi finally heard the good news, first pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, then rolled her eyes, and secretly thought in her heart: It's the countdown again, Xu Ruqing, are you embarrassed to squeeze into Dexian?
Meng Shishi was in the same class as Xu Ruqing when she was a freshman in high school, and she looked down on Xu Ruqing from the bottom of her heart when she was ranked in the first exam since she entered the school.
I thought that the people who could come to Dexian were the top students in junior high schools in various districts, but Xu Ruqing subverted Meng Shishi's cognition. She took He Yu as her goal, and she didn't know how many late nights she stayed up to get into the school, but it was just a place where someone's parents easily stuffed their children in. Whoever it is, there will be some imbalance in my heart.
Xu Ruqing has always maintained an indifferent attitude towards the results, and he can steadily "occupy" the penultimate place every time. At this time, she was standing on the blackboard at the back of the classroom, staring at the sparse bangs that were shiny in the Mediterranean Sea and was stunned until the end of school.
As soon as Xu Ruqing walked out of the teaching building, he heard someone shouting from behind: "Xu Ruqing, why are you running so fast, wait for me." ”
Looking back, Yang Youan was carrying his schoolbag, still holding his schoolbag in his arms, panting and running to him, and muttering: "I just helped you pack your schoolbag, and when you raised your eyes, you were gone." ”
Xu Ruqing took the schoolbag in Yang Youan's hand, and said as he walked: "Classmate, you really don't have to help me pack my schoolbag, anyway, if I take it home, I have to carry it to school the next day, it's quite heavy, it's better not to take it." ”
"Your parents don't keep nagging you when they see that you don't study at home?"
"No one cares about it at home, when I go home, the TV is on, the sofa is lying, and the takeout is called, which is comfortable." Xu Ruqing walked forward and said in a relaxed tone.
"It's good, I want to go home and do nothing." Yang Youan looked at Xu Ruqing with envy and said. The two did not stop by the way, Yang You'an's house was on the edge of the city, and at most they could only walk together to the nearest bus stop from the school gate.
Then, Yang Youan was the only one who chattered non-stop along the way, until he finally said to Xu Ruqing before getting on the bus, and it was over.
