Chapter 14: The Great Aunt
In the classroom, the light curtains dance in the wind, and the red light of the sunset slanted into the classroom, which is very quiet and beautiful.
It has been twenty minutes since the school bell rang, and laughter and laughter can still be heard clearly in the school road.
Chen Huchen was still sitting in her seat, she wanted to go, but she didn't dare to go. She could only continue to wait, and it was her time to leave school when the school was dark and quiet.
Very few boarders don't go home until Saturday morning, and on Friday night, every corner of campus is quiet and mysterious. At that time, she didn't have to worry about being bumped into by anyone on the way back to the dormitory, and even if there were, the night would hide her ugliness.
The dull pain in the depths of her body, the gradual coldness of the environment, and the strange and uneasy feeling all made her feel exhausted. She looked down at her blue school uniform pants, closed her eyes, and grabbed the notebook with both hands.
Footsteps could be heard from the depths of the hallway. Chen Huchen opened his eyes, picked up the pen, opened the book, and wrote and drew on the Chinese workbook. She was waiting for the voice to disappear.
I don't want anyone to see what she's like.
No one can help her. No.
At the door of the classroom, the footsteps stopped.
Chen Huchen still hung his head and worked on the question wholeheartedly.
A moment later, a shadow loomed.
There was another man's breath in the air. Her hand stopped.
At that moment, all silence turned to hustle and bustle, and loneliness was no longer willing.
Chen Huchen raised his head.
Lin Ze stood close to her, bowed his head and leaned towards her, frowning slightly. There were obvious bruises on the corners of his forehead and mouth, and there was a scratch on the left cheek, a red one, which was very eye-catching.
It must have been those bastards.
Because of her, it's her again.
Chen Huchen really felt like he was going to cry. She pursed her lips, a twisted choking sound deep in her throat, tears welling up in her eyes.
The grievances and pains that had been covering her body like a film for months instantly came home, and her body trembled slightly, still sobbing in a suppressed voice.
"Lin Ze."
After Lin Ze finished solving the matter, he found that Shen Xixi didn't help him take Chen Huchen at all, and even got angry with Shen Xixi disrespectfully, ran all the way back, and saw her sitting alone in the classroom, he really wanted to lift this place. After calming down a little, he felt that he was so useless, and he was still planted in her hands in the end.
That's what she called by his name, crying and calling his name.
He didn't want to fight for that breath anymore, so he didn't fight, so be it.
"Aren't you leaving?" His voice was low.
Chen Huchen lowered his head and squeezed out the words from the sobs: "You go back, who asked you to come?" Look at me embarrassed, look at me laughing, you're happy, aren't you? You turn back, you leave this school, I don't want to see you......"
"You don't want to see me, why do you always peek at me like that?" He looked down at her, his voice hoarse, "Thought I didn't know, you thought I was stupid?" ”
Chen Huchen was suddenly embarrassed and embarrassed.
Turns out he knew.
She looked up, her eyes full of tears, and she couldn't see anything clearly.
Everything is so real, so illusory. This extreme contradiction pricked her nerves. She said slowly, "Of course you're not stupid. So many people like people, why can't I be one of them. I like you, so what? ”
Lin Ze didn't react when he heard this, but his shoulders suddenly loosened, and he put his hand in the trouser pocket of his school uniform, so that he could look at the person who confessed inexplicably and cried bitterly.
After shouting so violently, Chen Huchen was completely sober, and after realizing what he had done, he couldn't hold back anymore, covered his face with his hands, and cried.
As the minutes ticked by, the sunset was still strong.
At the beginning, Lin Ze saw her crying happily, only when she vented her unhappiness in her heart, and after confessing, she was ashamed, and he still wanted to laugh a little, slowly, she cried until she was almost out of control, and he finally became nervous.
Lin Ze took out a tissue from her drawer, lifted her chin, and said while helping her wipe her tears and snot...... I'm here, I won't leave, I will learn wherever I go, why don't we accompany you. You didn't suffer, you picked up the treasure, I also picked up the treasure, we are equal, we have always been equal. It's just that you don't know it. Chen Huchen, did you hear me? Don't cry, I'm angry......"
His comfort didn't have the slightest effect, and Chen Huchen couldn't stop crying at all. In Lin Ze's memory, Chen Huchen cried and wanted to pursue his first acquaintance. A girl like her, who cries so much, is even more distant and miserab.
The cool breeze outside the window gave a strong dusk atmosphere, and the white curtains flickered with white light.
Lin Ze looked at Chen Huchen silently, there was a brief pause in his hands and thoughts, and then, as if he had woken up from a memory, without any thought or warning, his hands reached under her armpits and picked her out of the chair.
At that moment, Chen Huchen stopped crying, his hands tightly grasped the corner of his school uniform, as if all his strength fell there, and his whole body was as stiff as ice.
Lin Ze froze.
She was still as she stood up, but he felt a strong rejection in her.
He just wanted her to stop crying, and he did, but he didn't realize it was offensive.
The moment he caught a glimpse of the crimson in his chair, he was stunned, and his heart briefly froze between the pulsations of one after another.
His education gave him the most basic knowledge of what it was. And what kind of offense did he just do to a girl.
He didn't think more deeply and blame himself, all he could think of was that if he didn't come back to her, if he didn't transfer schools, she would sit alone in the classroom and wouldn't dare to leave that scene until it was dark.
In an instant, Lin Ze's heart ached carefully.
He sniffed on his cheek, tried to say nothing, suddenly remembered something, took off the bag he had hung on the outside of the table, unzipped it, and took out a thin black coat. He had a fever yesterday, and this morning, Shen Xixi was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he stuffed it into his school bag. God knows how grateful Lin Ze is for his little aunt's gentleness and thoughtfulness at this moment.
He didn't say anything more, but put his hand behind her waist, bowed his head, and rested his coat properly on the stain, and then, taking a half step back, tied a knot in her waist.
Lin Ze looked down at the black, surrounding her, it was his clothes.
Lin Ze's heart beat wildly uncontrollably, as if he was really protecting her. Especially the knot, tied so tightly, his thoughts, emotions and memories seemed to be tied in that knot.
The soft sunset sun slanted in, and the classroom was divided by light and shadow, half in light and half in dark. Lin Ze and Chen Huchen were in a faint darkness, forming two silhouettes.
Chen Huchen lowered his head, and the whole person was motionless and quiet.
Don't go. I can't go anymore. Lin Ze looked down at her and said in a gentle and calm voice: "Don't be afraid, don't be embarrassed, girls will be like this." I'll help you, stop crying. Don't go back to the dorm, even if it's just for one night, I don't want you to be scared. The three of us are now living together in the county seat, and now you come home with me, stay for one night, and before you go home tomorrow, I will forget. ”
