Chapter 25 Small shrimp swim freely in the river
The midterm exam results came out, and Ah Heng's grades were good, and he was in the top three in his grade. Sindayi Science has always been the best in the grade, so even if the liberal arts are weaker, the overall score is in the top 20 of the grade.
Yan Xi's achievements are not as outstanding as others, they are decent, there are no bright spots, but they can't find fault with them.
What surprised everyone was Mary's grades, I thought he was a special enrollment, and he had just returned from Vienna, and his grades were probably miserable, but he didn't expect this person to be on the grade list. Although he is not at the top, he is also on the list and can be called a good student in the general sense.
"How did he get the test, physics is five points more than me." Sindayi muttered quietly, a hundred unconvinced in his heart.
Ah Heng is funny, she knows that he can't let go, no matter what kind of channel or what kind of trivial thing he holds, he always has to use the topic to play a role.
After all, she believed that Sindayi had genuinely and passionately liked Chen Ti before she knew his gender. However, the gap was too great, and he was not accustomed to leading himself to an extreme obstacle with too deep and sensitive thoughts, so he had to simply and honestly let this feeling be consumed, and in its place was childish hostility.
Still, that's fine.
"Ah Heng, do you want to eat apples?" Her tablemate, facing her, smiled as beautiful as rose dew.
This teenager is still wearing women's clothes, and even dyed his hair rose red to highlight his unique beauty and edges.
And recently, because several of them shared his secrets, the original prodigal enthusiasm in his personality was vividly expressed.
"Apples?"
"yes, apples, do you want to eat them?" Chen Ti smiled, arched his back slightly, took out an apple under the table for a long time, straightened up, and handed it to Ah Heng.
The left chest is noticeably flatter than before.
"You, with apples, fill your chest?" Ah Heng blushed.
"Yes, sometimes, it's oranges. Do you want to eat it? Tomorrow I will bring it to you. Chen Ti smiled bewilderingly.
Sindayi's face turned green, he was indignant, and scolded: "Perverted! ”
Chen Ti looked back and returned exquisitely: "I'm perverted, I'm happy!" ”
Yan Xi listened to the two of them arguing, a little warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, looking out of the window, for a long time, as if he had endured something that he had to endure, he turned his head slightly, caught Ah Heng's gaze that had been peeking at him, and tried to make his tone not look like indifference to strangers: "What are you looking at?" ”
Ah Heng's black eyes were stunned, his face burned, and he was a little embarrassed, and after a long time, he spoke softly: "It looks like ...... It's so beautiful. ”
After she said this, Yan Xi was surprised, and even Xin Dayi looked at her incredulously. They didn't expect Ah Heng, who has always been thin-skinned, to say such unreserved words.
This sentence was the most annoying sentence that Ah Heng said when he was a stranger that Yan Xi had to approach. He was disgusted that unfamiliar people put such a stamp on him: good-looking.
Such a crisp desire really made him sick from the bottom of his heart. However, for Ah Heng, in such an almost desperate crush, this sentence was the only outrageous thing she had ever said.
It's so good-looking.
It looks good that way.
Yan Xi will never understand that such words are such a simple love, so that people who know them well are about to be heartbroken.
Ah Heng will always remember that Yan Xi's response to her that day was just a calm and cold sentence: "So what? ”
On the weekend, Siguan asked Ah Heng to make up for an acquaintance. In the end, he couldn't go because of something, so he threw her to Yan Xi, who wanted to go together.
Yan Xi took her through Mao'er Hutong and turned east and west. The stone lions and fish washed on both sides of the alley have been worn out after the washing of time, but they still carry the charm of the ancient capital.
"Here we are." Yan Xi opened his mouth lightly, and his white jade hand pushed open the door of the courtyard. This courtyard looks like it is broken bricks and tiles, as if it has not been renovated for a long time, like an old grandfather in his twilight years, and he looks like an old dragon clock.
"Brother Yan Xi, you're here! Brother Siwan didn't come, did you bring the teacher too? "The joyful voice of a child.
Ah Heng fixed his eyes and saw the little boy wearing a hat, thin and thin, wearing some old and some big cotton T-shirts, which didn't fit very well, but his face was cute and lively, and his eyes were as smart as small fish in clear water. This child is the little shrimp in the mouths of everyone on the day they fought.
"This is your Siwan's brother's sister, you should call your sister." Yan Xi rubbed the child's hat with a smile, and her face was rare and gentle.
"Hello sister! My grandfather's surname is He, my name is He Xia, and everyone calls me Little Shrimp. The little boy's voice was full of anger, looking at her, a little nervous.
"I'm Wen Heng." Ah Heng pursed his lips and smiled.
"Your sister Wen Heng studies very well, let her help you review your homework every weekend in the future, and you will definitely be admitted to high school next year, you know?" Yan Xi took the child's hand with a vivid expression.
"Can I go to Xilin?" Xiao Shrimp tilted his head and asked.
"Why Xilin?" Ah Heng was surprised.
"I want to go to the same school as Brother Yanxi, Brother Dayi, and Brother Siwan." The child counted them on his fingers.
Yan Xi got up, smiled in his eyes, and asked her tentatively.
Ah Heng felt that this child was eccentric, and he was similar in age, so people couldn't help but love it, so he smiled and nodded.
"Little shrimp, where's your grandfather?" Yan Xi remembered something.
"Grandpa went to set up a stall." The child answered cheerfully.
"Don't you have to help him?" Yan Xi groaned.
"Grandpa said, you want me to study hard with Brother Yan Xi, and you can't go to the stall." The child pouted slightly, a little stunned.
Ah Heng glanced at Yan Xi, but found that he frowned. She smiled, looked at the child, and said softly: "Little shrimp, let's start." ”
Xiao Shrimp was promoted to the third year of junior high school in the second half of the year, and the child was a smart child, but the foundation was not good. Ah Heng thought about it, and started to teach from the content of the textbook.
"So, put the root finding formula and the result should be ......"
"I know, it's -3 and 1, right?" The child excitedly rushed to answer.
"Huh? Wrong. ”
"Ah, did I miscalculate again?" The child's face collapsed, and he was very disappointed.
"Let me see...... Hehe, 5 squared, you write 26. The root number is miscalculated, it should be 0. The result is only one root, 2. Ah Heng smiled, "Okay, next, the third question." ”
While the child was writing the question, he peeked at Ah Heng's face.
"Little shrimp, what's wrong?" Ah Heng tilted his head, and his clear face was gentle and quiet.
"Sister, why don't you scold me?" The child was full of doubts, "Our teachers all scolded me for being stupid, disgusted with me, and said that I was a laggard in the class." ”
Ah Heng was stunned, and after a while, he smiled, revealing eight teeth: "You don't have it either, disgusted, sister's Mandarin." ”
"My sister speaks very nicely, soft, like a marshmallow." Marshmallow marshmallow, the child babble, drooling.
By the time all the homework was finished, it was nearly dusk.
As soon as the two of them stretched their waists, in the courtyard, Yan Xi's voice came clearly, like a refreshing wind: "Little shrimp, Wen Heng, come out quickly!" ”
Ah Heng took the child's hand and walked into the yard, but he was completely haunted by the whiteness of his eyes and the fragrance of his nose.
There is a locust tree in the yard, the trunk is very thick, about three people can hold hands to surround it, and the locust flowers on the branches are blooming beautifully.
Yan Xi found the bamboo rake from nowhere, stood under the tree, stretched out his arms, and shook the rake back and forth to beat the locust flowers.
The acacia flowers have flown down, from the top of the juvenile hair, along the trajectory of the wind, gently sliding, returning to the dust, white, pure, beautiful, warm, vivid.
The young man in the petals, smiling brightly, beckoned to them, full of life.
Ah Heng sniffed lightly, and in the air, there was a strong accumulation of comfortable breath.
Xiao Shrimp ran to the kitchen and took a dustpan, picked up the locust flowers that fell at the young man's feet, raised his head, and smiled with satisfaction: "Brother Yan Xi, enough is enough." ”
"Ahh Yan Xi took the rake, a petal floated to the wing of his nose, scratched it, and he sneezed.
Xiao Shrimp hugged the dustpan and smiled at Ah Heng: "Sister, do you like to eat the steamed locust flowers I will give you?" ”
Steamed locust flowers?
She bowed her head, and the child ran to the kitchen with a puff of smoke.
"Wen Heng, thank you today." Yan Xi's index finger gently rubbed the wing of his nose, his tone was a little unnatural, and his dark and bright eyes moved around.
"You're welcome." Ah Heng received Yan Xi's thanks, and was surprised in his heart, but the surface was not leaky, and he answered gently.
"Ah, sure enough, I haven't thanked someone for a long time, I'm really not used to ......it," Yan Xi was embarrassed, laughed, spread his hands, and laughed at himself.
When the shrimp ran out again, he hugged the aluminum basin and came to Ah Heng and Yan Xi, his head was full of sweat, and his little face was red: "Sister, Brother Yan Xi, you eat." ”
Ah Heng looked at the snow-white crystal petals in the pot, pinched a handful with his hand and put it in his mouth, it was the taste of the old memories, sweet and mellow: "It's delicious." Ah Heng pursed his lips, a soft smile in his eyes.
The little shrimp was proud, with two arms around the back of his head, smiling at the innocent happiness of the shrimp swimming in the stream.
Ah Heng stretched out his hand and wiped the dust off the child's face with his fingers, but without admitting it, the child actually rushed over and hugged her: "Sister, I like you, you are a good person." ”
Ah Heng was taken aback, she was not used to such sudden and warm warmth, but what followed was the moving of scurrying around in her internal organs.
Her stiff fingers slowly softened, and she slowly hugged the little boy back, her clear and gentle face was flushed, and her soft and glutinous tone was soft: "Thank you." ”
Yan Xi chuckled, leaned under the tree and stretched, looking at the sky, full of golden glow.
When leaving, Yan Xi did not take the same path, he took Ah Heng to the other entrance of the alley, towards the main street. As soon as you catch your eye, you will be greeted by an endless stream of people.
"Little Shrimp's grandfather, right there." Yan Xi lightly pointed to the mouth of the alley.
Ah Heng stared at the mouth of the alley and saw a bicycle repair stall. An old man, full of flowery hair, wearing a blue cloth shirt, was rickety in front of the bicycle, his big calloused hand raised one end, turning the wheel to check something, looking serious and old. She even saw the spots on the old man's arms that represented aging and the marks of each passing on his face.
This old man, how many bicycles have to be inflated, and how many broken tires have to be repaired, is enough to maintain the livelihood of two people.
"So, little shrimp, are you going to steal?" A long time ago, she remembered that she had heard Officer Fu say that Xiao Shrimp was a habitual thief.
Yan Xi's voice was flat and bland: "No way, children with long bodies are always hungry." ”
"Little shrimp, where are your parents?" She felt her voice dry.
"Xiao Shrimp is an outcast, if he wasn't taken home by Grandpa He, it would not be easy to live." Yan Xi spoke softly, and the young man's voice was calm, the most indifferent.
"Why, tell me?"
Yan Xi was faint, and his black eyes were covered with a bright color like peach blossoms, light, but he couldn't see to the end.
"I was thinking, maybe you know, will cherish the embrace of the shrimp more. He never does that to strangers. You're the first. ”
