To stagger the rush hour, get in your seat. Chen Huchen and Xie Haoyi usually came to the village entrance at 3 o'clock on Sunday afternoon and waited for 15 minutes and took the No. 10 bus every two hours.

There were not many people in the car, and the two girls had their own concerns and remained silent.

I don't know how long it took, Xie Haoyi suddenly said: "My parents don't let me go to high school." They helped me get a place for a poor student in my job and let me study accounting. said that the family can only barely provide for my second brother to go to college, originally didn't even want me to study, but then I thought about it, the eldest and the third are not reading materials, let me study for two more years, have the ability to do business, not only decent, maybe you can also mix up a famous hall, in the future, better help Brother Gu and the third brother, buy a house, marry a daughter-in-law. With that, she smiled bitterly at herself.

Chen Huchen didn't know what to say for a while, just stared at Xie Haoyi.

Xie Haoyi moved his gaze from the window to Chen Huchen's face, and whispered: "Chen Huchen, the girl here, only you are a treasure." ”

The car turned at the fork and drove onto the main road. On both sides of the road, rice paddies are about to enter the harvest season, and deep into the lush mountains.

Without waiting for Chen Huchen to think of the wording to comfort her, Xie Haoyi touched Chen Huchen's head, smiled bitterly, and said, "I'm fine." Anyway, my grades may not be able to be admitted to a key high school, it is better to study in a vocational middle school in a down-to-earth manner, and I can go to and from school with you in the same county. It's just that I'm a little aggrieved in my heart, and it's good to figure it out. ”

Chen Huchen was sad for a while. She knew that Xie Haoyi's heart was no longer as simple as being aggrieved, it was a hurdle, and she might not be able to get out of it for the rest of her life.

If you have to say anything, then Chen Huchen and Xie Haoyi both have a college dream, enter a good university in a different county, and start a new journey in a new city.

Xie Haoyi is right, like Chen Huchen, there are very few mountain girls who are supported by their parents, conditions permit, excellent themselves, and aim for college.

But who is to blame?

Whether you are a child – a good child or a bad child – is not about what you say or do, but whether you follow your parents' arrangements and decisions.

In the end, Chen Huchen didn't know what to say, she stroked Xie Haoyi's shoulder, Xie Haoyi shook her head, and said that it was okay.

Chen Huchen unzipped her schoolbag, took out the four hard-boiled eggs and biscuit candies that her parents had prepared for her one by one and put them into Xie Haoyi's schoolbag.

There was a box of dumplings left, and the two of them ate it separately.

Looking at the bulging schoolbag, something flashed on Xie Haoyi's face. It's like this almost every week, whatever Chen Huchen brings from home, he will be half with her, and if he wants eggs, he will give them all. I told her that I didn't like eggs, but I actually wanted to supplement her nutrition. How Chen Huchen tirelessly guards her self-esteem, Xie Haoyi has always understood.

Lin Ze came back at the end of the first evening self-study class, and his classmates thought he would come back tomorrow morning. After he sat down, he kept a cold face and didn't say a word. His classmates saw that he was in a bad mood and didn't dare to mess with him.

As soon as the bell rang after class, Chen Huchen and Xiaomei just finished the blackboard report. A few boys graciously handed mineral water and told them to wash their hands.

When Chen returned to her seat, she found that her position was barely enough to fit a person, and her back table was spacious enough to lie down and sleep.

“……”

I really don't know if he's naïve or naïve.

The class leader shouted loudly in the noise for each group leader to accept the high school volunteer form.

Chen Huchen stared at the cold face on the back table for a few seconds, didn't say anything, straddled his legs, and sat back in his seat. She was petite, and this distance didn't affect her except for being a little cramped.

She pulled out her high school application form from her English book and was about to put pen to paper, when she stopped and fell into deep thought.

"Mommy knows you're a good boy. But my mother told you that you want to go to No. 1 Middle School in the city, and I don't agree. I don't need you to be good, as long as you're by my side, as long as we're a family of three forever. ”

"Qiqi, if you don't write, if you don't write, I'll ask Dad to write it for you, Dad's handwriting is beautiful."

"No, I'll write it myself."

After Chen Huchen filled in the volunteers, he passed them to the back table together with the volunteer form passed down by his classmates in front of him, so that they could pass it down to the team leader's line.

Then calm down and do the question.

In less than a moment, a force of gravity hit her back, no, to be precise, someone kicked the back of her chair, and her body was touched, and her heart shook a little.

There was a sudden silence in the class, and everyone looked over to them.

Chen Huchen bowed his head as usual and remained silent, quietly calculating physics problems on scratch paper, as if nothing had happened.

Lin Ze snorted, picked up his schoolbag and stood up, and walked straight towards the back door.

"Eh, Aze, where are you going? There's one more lesson! ”

"Wait a minute!"

A few boys who had a good time with Lin Ze also went out.

That night, Chen Huchen couldn't sleep.

In the second half of the night, I finally felt sleepy, and I was in a daze, as if I had returned to that day.

Someone felt someone put their hand on her forehead, cool, acting as an ice pack. He said that his hands were naturally cold, and he couldn't cover them hot.

Lie. He only held it for ten minutes, and then his palm accepted her heat.

His eyebrows were lowered, his face was not gentle, but his voice was extremely gentle: "It's very uncomfortable? ”

She nodded honestly.

The ice pack on the bedside table melted into ice water, and he took it and rested it on her forehead.

The drug had already worked, and she was very sleepy, and when her consciousness and vision became more and more blurred, she vaguely caught his face, and somehow, she felt that he was more uncomfortable than her.

"The fever will go away......" she muttered, falling into a stupor.

In the second half of the night, she woke up once, and the fever had subsided.

Thirsty, she said.

He brought a glass of water with a straw in it. She took small sips and felt like he was looking at her, and his body seemed to be hot again.

"Chen Huchen, I want to raise you."

In the silence of the room, his deep and calm voice suddenly sounded.

It was raining lightly outside, and the night was hazy.

She clutched the corners of her coat under the covers and closed her eyes again.

The whole world seemed to be beating for her.

And she, for the first time in her life, wanted to beat him up.

After he said this, there was no follow-up for a long time.

She opened her eyes, and he sat cross-legged on the floor, quite close to her, staring at something in his hand for a long time.

What is that, she doesn't really see it, she only knows that he has been wearing it all the time, and some classmates have tried to grab it like a prank, and as a result, he has a hard time with the boy. Maybe at some moment, he even had murderous intent.

"I'm the first boy to say anything like that to you, right?" He paused, his voice muffled, "But you're not my first, and I've told others about it." ”

His side face revealed an obscure silence she had never seen before.

Who is he missing?

That, does he want to bring someone home to raise?

She didn't dare to ask. She knew that if she spoke, he would give an answer, but she was too scared. Before she could get to the point, he was still able to smile at him with eyes full of the other person.

When he looked at her, he was still handsome and clear, and he was scheming with her.

"Tutu, you've grown so big, no boy has taken you out to play, right?"

Dirt? Something stuck in my throat and I can't swallow it.

She stared at him with wide eyes, and although she didn't want to pay attention to him, she nodded.

He leaned closer to her, looked into the depths of her eyes, smiled, and said in a voice close to him: "No boy has ever taken care of you with a fever of thirty-nine degrees, right?" ”

Nod.

"No boy has ever taken you home, have they?"

Of course not.

Nod.

"I'm so good, you must be reluctant to let me die, right?"

Well...... After a two-second pause, he still nodded.

"You've got a little bit of spirit, right?"

Nod.

"You still have the strength to stand up, don't you?"

Nod.

He also nodded as if relieved, and then frowned, his expression was as unscrupulous as his voice: "I'm hungry, I'm about to starve to death." Hurry up and cook me something. ”

“……”

For a moment, she felt a cold heart.

Before he finished eating the big bowl of tomato and egg noodles, she couldn't hold back and fell asleep again.

As soon as the wake-up bell rang, the popular Internet songs of those years echoed in every corner of the campus, and the students got up one after another, washed, ate breakfast, went for a morning run, and went back to the classroom, day after day, with no sense of disgust or freshness in every step of the cycle.

Everything is so bland.

From today onwards, there will be no time as fresh and soft as the dawn of that morning, similar to that distant place.

What can she do?

Do nothing. It is to wait for the end of the high school entrance examination.

Say goodbye to your alma mater, goodbye to your classmates, goodbye to him.

So, what to do next season?

Embark on a new journey, make new friends, learn new knowledge, and make appointments for a future without him.
