Chapter 21: Transfer students from other provinces
"Is it really you? I've just seen you from afar, and I'm not sure yet. The boy smiled, "It's rare that you still remember me." ”
Su Wen smiled shyly, "Of course, we've been at the same table for more than half a year." ”
Although for so long, the two people at the same table had very little communication.
"Let's go home together?"
"Okay," Su Wen was pleasantly surprised, looking at the boy and smiling shyly, "I know that you have also been admitted to Bode, and I have been looking for a chance to say hello to you." ”
"Hehe," Ji Heming curled the corners of his mouth slightly, with a smile in his eyes, "I'm in the first class, and I've seen you many times." ”
"Really?" Su Wen tried to search for the figure of the boy in his memory, but the search was fruitless.
"You came to our class a few days ago, and I wanted to say hello to you, but you seem to be busy."
Su Wenshu suddenly remembered the time he went to the first class to help Xu Leqiu move things, and his eyes widened as if he suddenly realized, "There was indeed something wrong with that time." ”
With the crowd after school, Su Wen and Ji Heming had unconsciously walked to the bus stop, and the platform was already crowded with students wearing blue and white school uniforms like them, and the crowd was chatting.
"When you got to high school, you seem to have become much more cheerful." Ji Heming looked at the girl's smiling eyes through his glasses.
"Naturally, the new life has to change a little, and it can't be the same as before, right?" Su Wen smiled self-deprecatingly.
"You used to be a little too introverted," the boy touched the back of his head and smiled shyly, "It's fine now." ”
There was a distance of one person between Su Wen and Ji Heming, and Ji Heming could clearly see the smiling face on the girl's face, which he had never seen when he was in the same class in the third year of junior high school.
"Su Wen?"
The girl looked at the source of the sound, there was a guitar on the bicycle lane on the right side of the bus stop, leaning on the bicycle and stepping on the sidewalk, the person who stopped at the fence was not Song Yu, who else?
"You're not gone yet, are you?" From a distance, when Song Yu looked at the girl, he glanced at Ji Heming who was standing beside her, and found that the strange boy was also casting his eyes on him.
"I'm waiting for the bus." Su Wen responded with a light smile, and took a closer look at the huge guitar on the boy's back.
"Be safe." The boy waved at her, looking chic and handsome, "Bye-bye~"
It wasn't until the boy's back was far away on the bicycle path that Su Wen came back to his senses in a daze.
"Your friend?" Ji Heming asked with a smile.
"Well, classmates." The girl was inexplicably lost, and the figure of the guitar on Song Yu's back was still in her mind.
She also really wanted to learn a musical instrument, and she wanted to do it since she was a child.
When they arrived at the bus station crowded on the bus, Su Wen and Ji Heming just bought seat tickets for their latest trip back to Wenxi County. The seats of the two were close to each other, and Ji Heming was very considerate to let Su Wen sit in the window seat.
An unusually wonderful feeling spread from the bottom of Su Wen's heart to the surroundings, and when he thought about it carefully, what Su Wen and Ji Heming had said in the same class for most of the year in junior high school did not add up to what they said when they went home together for this coincidence.
The girl turned her head slightly to look at the boy's white face, and suddenly felt that the boy's vague impression in her memory became clearer and clearer.
"I remember that your parents are out of town, why do you want to go back to your hometown?" Su Wen blurted out the doubts in his heart.
Ji Heming smiled helplessly, his eyes revealed some kind of vicissitudes that did not belong to the carefree age of 16 years old, he said: "Now that they are in their hometown, my father's health is not very good, and he is recuperating at home." ”
"I'm sorry, I don't know......" The girl was slightly stunned, and her words were a little incoherent.
"It's okay, it's normal." Ji Heming smiled, his tone was very gentle, "After so many years of wandering outside, it's time to go back to my hometown." ”
"It turns out that we are all 'left-behind children', and my parents are still wandering in other places." Su Wen smiled self-deprecatingly and couldn't help but sigh.
"It would be good when we grew up, and life would be better in the future." Ji Heming's eyes were dim, and he didn't know whether to hope or sigh.
At this moment, for the first time, Su Wen felt that he understood the big boy who had been at the same table with him for half a year.
It is a heart that belongs to the same kind of sympathy.
People in the same world understand each other's feelings, and compared with people in big cities who have been pampered since childhood and enjoy the best education and best resources, Su Wen and Ji Heming, who are from small counties, understand the hardships and difficulties of life better. The family has allowed them to experience poverty from an early age, they mature prematurely, and they take on the responsibility of changing the fate of the family prematurely.
The most sensible children tend to be the least happy. Su Wen, who has been well-behaved and sensible since childhood, understood this truth very early, but she didn't expect that one day she would meet the same person as herself.
That person turned out to be Ji Heming.
For Ji Heming, Su Wen's initial impression was that the head teacher of the third junior high school called "transfer students from other provinces".
As for why he was a "transfer student from another province", or he suddenly transferred to a school near the node of the high school entrance examination, Su Wen learned the approximate reason from the casual conversation of his classmates after a long time - the high school entrance examination and even the college entrance examination in Province D, where boys have studied since childhood, do not accept students from other provinces to take exams. So the teenager with the nationality of G Province was played a joke by fate and was forced to return to the province after more than ten years of absence to continue his junior high school studies.
At that time, more than half of the first semester of the third year of junior high school had passed, and one day the head teacher suddenly brought a strange boy to their classroom and introduced him, "This is a new transfer classmate, Ji Heming."
Su Wen, who was obsessed with doing questions in class, did not raise his head, and ignored this new strange classmate, as if he was just as ordinary as air. Of course, she also ignored the discussion that broke out in the group of girls behind her when the new classmates came to the stage to introduce themselves, and she didn't think much about it, Su Wen only felt noisy.
In the junior high school of Suwen's small county, the school in the third year of junior high school under the slogan of "learning better and more efficiently for students and sprinting for the high school entrance examination", blatantly divided students into key classes and ordinary classes. Su Wen, who has had excellent grades since childhood, is naturally among the top classes, and has even always been at the top of the list, and there is no one to replace him in junior high school. Before being divided into key classes, Su Wen stayed in the so-called class that treated everyone equally, but in fact, it was an invisible top class since the first year of junior high school.
Su Wen is the pride of the sky in the eyes of everyone in Wenxi County Middle School, a small county town, and she always sits in the best position in the class specially arranged by the head teacher. The junior high school class is divided into three large groups, each group has three people in each row for the same table, and Su Wen's position is always in the first position in the second row of the middle group, which is the throne that belongs to the first place.
Society is like that, and junior high school campuses are no exception. At first, the head teacher was placed in the first position in the second row of the middle group, and the two tablemates were the second and third respectively from left to right, and the first in the third row of the back seat was the fourth, and so on. Su Wen scoffed at this obvious discovery, and couldn't figure out why the head teacher was so snobbish and only looked at the grades to arrange seats. Of course, that arrangement is only beneficial to their good students.
No one dared to challenge the majesty of the head teacher, and the students were full of resentment at this extremely unfair treatment, and had nowhere to vent it, so they had to target the "good students" who were treated favorably by the head teacher. The innuendo of the indignant female classmates behind their backs, Su Wen listened to it a lot, and he didn't feel how sad it was to be ridiculed. The real pathetic thing is that they only know how to complain.
At first, Su Wen only passed by the new transfer student Ji Heming when she walked to the back of the classroom to throw out the garbage, and Su Wen's usual misty eyes in the class made her not see the boy's face clearly, and only vaguely realized that the unfamiliar blurred face was the new transfer classmate. To be precise, the faces of all her classmates were just misty and moving figuratives in her eyes.
When facing his classmates, he subconsciously hides himself and ignores his classmates as if they were air, Su Wen's habit further aggravates the image of Su Wen's indifference and conceit in the eyes of his classmates, and Su Wen learned of this result when he overheard the girls talking countless times. However, in fact, Su Wen is not "she is too proud and conceited and pretentious" as her classmates say, only she understands that it is just her way to escape.
If you don't run away, your heart will hurt. Since she had not found a solution to the root cause of the problem, she had no choice but to hide. And she's the best at dodging.
Those who are indifferent, who always speak badly and hurt, who will stab themselves all over their bodies in pain until they are bleeding when they get close, she can only hide in order not to get hurt.
For Ji Heming, a new classmate, Su Wen only knew at first that he was placed in an empty seat at the back of the classroom, just to fill the vacancy of the seat.
The first head-to-head contact came from an accident before the final exam of the first semester of junior high school.
It was a sunny day, and as soon as school ended on Friday afternoon, Su Wen dragged out of school until the last one. Riding a bicycle, she walked the dead through the familiar sections of the road for nearly three years, from the school in the central area of the county to her home outside the central district of Suwen, it usually takes half an hour to ride. The only way to go is a ramp that leads into the central street, and after the ramp you cross the central street, you can turn a few streets to reach your home.
Su Wen never imagined that he would have the first head-on contact with Ji Heming in such a tragic way.
Su Wen couldn't figure out what kind of mentality supported his thoughts wandering and his eyes were glowing when he rode down the slope, don't kill yourself and don't harm others, okay?
After a long time, Su Wen laughed at himself every time he thought of that incident, and patted his chest again to comfort himself, it was good to be able to live safely.
"Do you remember when we both crashed?" The boy on the coach smiled very gently, and his voice was still unusually clear in the noisy carriage.
The scenery outside the window slowly drove all the way, and Su Wen's face turned red, "Of course I remember...... Uh-uh, I'm so sorry for you that time......"
"What's there to be sorry for what you've had to say after all this time?" Ji Heming's smiling eyes were like stars in the night sky, "It's you, after we crashed and fell, you got up like no one else, said 'I'm sorry' to me with empty eyes, turned around and pushed the car away......"
"You scared the hell out of me."
Su Wen smiled wryly, "It's all because I didn't have long eyes when I went downhill, and I was in a daze...... It's a good thing we didn't have an accident, otherwise I don't know where to feel guilty! ”
"You hurt a lot that time, didn't you? Although you look like you're fine, your feet are limping when the cart goes......" Ji Heming remembered the scene at that time, and still couldn't help but sigh.
Su Wen seemed to be telling someone else's story, "It really hurts." ”
"Why was that?"
"Huh?"
"I mean, what were you doing when you went downhill? If you don't get it right, you're going to die......"
