Monday finally came.

Since Sunday, it has rained again in the city, and sure enough, it is the rainy season, and only one afternoon has been given to the sun to show his face.

I like the atmosphere in this weather, but I don't like to go to school in this weather.

As usual, in order to avoid the eyes of my classmates as much as possible, I rode my bicycle to the northernmost gate of the campus. It is about a 5-minute walk from the small gate to the school building, but if you walk from the main gate, you will enter the school gate and walk a short way to the teaching area. But I don't care, as long as I can avoid the eyes of my classmates. I'm completely used to entering the school every day alone through this little door that maybe my classmates don't know.

As I walked out of the playground, I saw from a distance that she was sharing an umbrella with a girl who seemed to have a good relationship with her.

She also saw me from afar and waved at me with a smile.

That's not good, I thought to myself.

Sure enough, the classmate next to her looked at me and said something to her.

Yirui-san, the next time there is someone around, forget me.

Having said that, Yirui is indeed the only person in the entire school who does not exclude me. It's probably an exaggeration to say that the school is as a whole, at least among people I know. I didn't want Yirui-san to be ostracized by my classmates like me, and I felt that I took the initiative to stay away from her.

I kept a distance from her, followed her, and walked up to the gloomy school building.

She folded the umbrella and put it in the umbrella slot, and many classmates greeted her along the way, and she smiled and greeted them.

"Yirui-san changed her hairstyle today......" A few boys on the side were discussing.

That's when I noticed that she had her hair tied up today, and that she was wearing a cloak when I met her on Saturday night.

"If only I could talk to her." The male classmates from the next class who passed me said this.

So, am I one of the lucky ones? I've been alone with her already!

She sat at the front, looked around, and then turned to look at me.

I shook my head, trying for her not to look at me like that.

She lifted her cheeks with the index fingers of both hands and put on a big smile—presumably trying to keep me smiling.

Originally, I really couldn't laugh, but looking at her cute appearance, I couldn't help but smile, it was a heartfelt, real smile.

No one would have known what had happened in this classroom the day before yesterday, and no one would have known that she and I both possessed strange supernatural powers. Everyone started this new day as usual, and they should have crowded me out like this, and they should have been around Yirui's classmates or around Yirui's classmates.

"By the way, have you heard? The matter of the demon of grass and trees. ”

"Well, it's said that anyone who has been to the garden recently has encountered strange things!"

"What, are you interested in finding out? Get him? ”

"Catch the demon of the grass and trees? No kidding. Are there any monsters in this world? ”

"If you can catch the demon of grass and trees, you should be able to make a lot of money by handing it over to the research institute."

"If you can really touch me, come and call me again!"

The classmates around me were talking about the "demon of plants and trees", and listening to the strange experiences they made up, I felt happiness from the bottom of my heart. However, they said that they wanted to catch the "Demon of Grass and Trees", but it was ridiculous, and it would be nice for me to make it impossible to pee my pants when the time came.

"Good morning, everyone!"

"Oh, Sister Rui Rong is here!"

The female classmate who had just shared an umbrella with Yirui's classmate also walked into the classroom. Her name is Xu Ruirong, and she is also very popular because she often stays with Yirui. She is quick and responsive, which may have been given to her by her parents through her name, but she is sometimes very spicy, and boys can only be respectful when they see her.

While she was greeting the other classmates, she glared at me with a lightning bolt of sharp eyes - sure enough, the success of my eye contact with Yirui-san in the morning caused her dissatisfaction. Sure enough, if I had done anything to hurt Yirui-san, this fierce woman might have killed me.

The morning self-study began, and as soon as I pulled out my book, my head was smashed by a ball of paper.

I picked up the paper crumpled from the words in the sketchbook and looked at it as I had predicted. Sure enough, it was Xu Ruirong, she made a movement and motioned for me to open the paper ball.

The unfolded crumpled paper is written with a thick pen and a little bit of handwriting, which has a sense of uprightness unique to girls, but there is an indescribable boldness. The paper reads:

Stay away from Yirui-san, damn broom star!

Would even such a popular person use such a vulgar word to express his thoughts?

Instead of looking back at her, I crumpled it back into a paper ball and threw it into the trash can next to me. I think she must be angry when she sees this scene, but it's okay, I'm used to doing it against my classmates, and I'm mentally prepared for retaliation or something.

Because it's raining, it's not convenient for me to play pranks in the garden. After lunch, I just went to the pavilion and sat down. There aren't many people who come to the garden in such weather.

The river outside the garden was so foggy that I couldn't even see the tall TV building opposite, and I watched the hazy scenery and slowly became more and more confused.

"Zhao Yujie, look for Yujie!"

I vaguely heard someone shaking me. That's when I realized that I had just fallen asleep by accidentally looking at it. When I opened my eyes, I saw that Eri-san was shaking my body anxiously.

"Great! It turned out that I was just tired and fell asleep......"

But I'm to blame myself.,Although I finished my homework early.,I accidentally watched the anime last night.。 My head has been sore since this morning.

"What's the matter, can't you be bored enough to fall asleep?"

She sat down next to me and said to me.

Fortunately, this pavilion is blocked by the dense cypress trees on the periphery of the garden, otherwise it would be bad if it was seen by my classmates and it would be rumored that I would have a secret meeting with Yirui's classmate in the pavilion or something.

"It's just that I was late yesterday and didn't get enough sleep."

"By the way, did you hear that your classmates were going to catch the demons of the grass and trees in the morning?"

She swung her slender legs and turned her head towards me.

"I heard that, but they shouldn't dare to come."

"That's not good, if they really let the research institute they said know, it will be easy for the people from the research institute to catch you in person."

I don't know what they call a research institute, but I guess it's a corporate unit dedicated to the study of the paranormal.

"Then you have to be careful...... I said, but in my heart I still think they were just talking casually, and I guess even the people from the research institute can easily be scared away by me.

"It wouldn't be good if we really showed our stuff."

I thought the two boys were just talking nonsense, so there was no value in discussing the topic, so I changed the subject.

"By the way, the flower the day before yesterday, can it still live now?"

She shook her head in frustration, "Moreover, it seems that it was thrown directly into the trash by the students on duty." ”

I know how much she loves flowers, and she must be feeling sorry for her supernatural powers not being able to get them back.

"By the way, classmate Yujie, don't call classmates between us anymore in the future, after all, it's very tiring to call 'classmates', in the future, you can call me Yirui directly, and I will call you Yujie directly!"

I always felt that it was a bit inappropriate to start calling her by her name after only talking to her for two days, but I also didn't like to add "classmate" every time I called someone.

The lunch break was over quickly, and Yi Rui stood up, patted her skirt that was dusted by the stone bench, and put on the black stockings that she had taken off at some point. She waved her hand and motioned for me to go back to the classroom.

"Catch up! Otherwise, you'll be late. ”

"It's okay, I'll just walk behind you."

As in the morning, I kept a distance from her to avoid misunderstandings among my classmates.

Before leaving, she gave me her contact information, so that it was convenient to go home and communicate on my phone.

Towards the end of the afternoon school, the rain stopped again, and the coolness brought by the rain was over. I have to admit that I didn't do pranks at noon, but I was really bored in the afternoon, and I couldn't keep up my spirits in class, my head just didn't listen to the call, and I kept lowering it, and I didn't know if I was asleep in a daze.

It's an ordinary day like this, and it's much happier to spend a day at school than at home.

Because I was really sleepy in the afternoon, in order to cheer myself up and not let myself be hypnotized by the teacher, I finished my homework early in class - so that I could go home and immerse myself in the world of mobile phones without restraint.

I made my way through the crowd of people returning home and walked alone towards the north side of the playground.

"Did you hear about it, that unlucky guy followed Chen Yirui at noon!"

"What a shame ......"

Well, it was still seen by those classmates. Although I was sure to keep a distance of nearly ten meters from Yirui at noon, being behind her all the way would really attract the attention of these boring guys.

In retaliation against them, I clenched my left hand and moved my right hand slightly, causing a rain of leaves on the camphor tree on the side of the road leading to the school gate.

Fortunately, it happened to be windy at the time, otherwise my impulsive decision would have been 100% thought to be a good thing done by the "Grass and Tree Demon". However, the rain of leaves still caused quite a stir.

Although I didn't look back, I listened to the shouts of some classmates, and the scene of leaves floating into their clothes tickling them in my mind, I felt indescribably happy.

In fact, the northern corner of the playground is not really untouched, and before the two-week college entrance examination, the senior high school students stayed in the remote school building in this corner. The school said that in order to provide an absolutely quiet learning environment for the students in the third year of high school, it opened a teaching area in this place where students would not think about going on weekdays. And the small gate that I pass through every day in and out of the school, in the remote corner of this remote teaching area, may be the gap left by forgetting to seal the wall during the construction of the campus at that time.

The place is really secluded enough, surrounded by scorching grass that has not been trimmed for a long time, the school building is covered with free-growing rattans, and a huge tree at the entrance of the senior teaching area can almost completely block the daylight - is such an eerie environment really conducive to their studies? I can't imagine what will become of these people around me when they come to this corner.

It would be nice if Yirui was here, so that I could take the dense rattan sticks in the teaching building, and she could graft these rattans onto the branches that protruded from the fence and coil them into ladders, so that I could use these rattan ladders to climb over the high wall and enter the senior teaching area.

But on the side of the door, there is an abandoned trellis on which I can use my supernatural powers to cover it tightly with grass and rattan without climbing on, and this is the canopy I made for my own bicycle.

Back home, my family and I had a hasty dinner before we collapsed on the bed exhausted.

Now the only thing that can cheer me up immediately is watching anime and chatting with Yirui. As soon as I turned on the phone, I immediately added her friends, and she quickly agreed to my friend request, although I really wanted to chat with her immediately, but considering that she still had to finish today's homework first, I was too embarrassed to bother her immediately.

So let's just laze into sleep......

For weeks on end, I would dream of standing alone in the rain, in the rain with sunshine, rolling up my trouser legs, standing on a grassland flooded with fifty centimeters of water, which should be sparsely dotted with a few trees about my height. I often seemed to stretch out my arms, like the slender branches of the dwarf trees around me, and feel the relentless rain and strong winds with my small palms.

And I saw in the distance the same little girl, dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and skirt, with long hair and bare feet, walking towards me, but she seemed to be walking on the water, and there were layers of ripples under her light steps. On her side, the sky seemed to be a deep blue.

"Yujie! Yujie! ”

My dream was interrupted again, and my mother knocked on the door and told me to take a shower and go to bed.

Although I repeated this dream every day, I never saw the face of the girl on the other side.

"Can I take a shower today?"

"Yes, but you can take a shower before you go to the bath, so that the water can be left for your dad to come back from work to take a bath."

Dad's job should be very hard, and he often has to work overtime. The conditions in our house are not very good, but even so, my mother still agreed to my request to take a bath from time to time, after all, bathing is really a waste of water, so every time someone in the family takes a bath, the water is recycled and used for many other things.

It's almost nine o'clock, and I think I should be able to talk to Yirui at this time. So I grabbed my phone from a stool next to the tub that had just been fully charged.

"Are you there, Yirui-san? (I didn't use punctuation marks at the end of sentences for typing convenience when I was chatting, and there were punctuation marks at the end of each sentence.) Here, for the sake of the normativity of the sentence, the punctuation marks at the end of the sentence are uniformly added. And because I have the habit of splitting sentences when sending messages, in order to save some space, I will merge the sentences that originally belonged to a sentence again. ）”

"Here, it's called Yirui!"

"Well, what is Irui doing now?"

But even though it's a cross-screen chat, I always feel a little uncomfortable calling her "Yirui".

"Read a book in bed."

"Is it really a study monster, and you still read books when you go to bed?"

"It's a romance novel on the Internet......"

"Hmm, is it true that the learning monster is also a normal person?"

"By the way, did you play a prank on school today?"

"You mean that camphor leaf rain?"

"yes, I was eating ice cream ......"

"Hahaha, I'm sorry. I heard a classmate next to me say that I was following you, so I wanted to take revenge on them. ”

"Sure enough, it's uncomfortable for you not to play pranks for a day."

"But you don't see me at school, I always feel like I'm being observed by those boring guys as soon as I show up next to you."

"Do you think I'm easy to get you into trouble?"

"Actually, I just want to praise you for your popularity."

"But you'd better be more restrained, even though the wind was blowing at the time, everything seemed normal. But the two guys who walked on the side and said they were going to catch the 'Demon of Grass and Trees' in the morning still noticed Ni Duan. ”

"They're just talking......"

"Obedient, don't you want me to be hurt, if you are really caught, you will hurt me."

"Okay......"

"Hey, you didn't sleep last night."

"Well, it's too late to watch anime."

"If I hadn't noticed that you hadn't returned to class sooner, you'd have had to sleep in the pavilion all afternoon."

"Why don't you snub me like they did?"

"Because there's no reason for you to be left out in the cold."

Although Yirui didn't talk to me much before, she really didn't want to snub me.

"You're not like them."

"That's right, Yujie. Saturday night, come back to school again. ”

"What's the matter?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

"Does it have to be Saturday night?"

"Isn't it convenient?"

"Convenient, my parents won't care too much about me."

"Then it's a word, and I'll see you in the garden at seven o'clock on Saturday night."

"Okay."

"Then I won't bother you, you can get a good night's sleep."

"Good night~" she said next.

Summer vacation is two weeks away. When the rainy season is over and the weather is no longer so humid, it should be very comfortable to stay in the school garden at night with the cool evening breeze.

"Good night."

Before I knew it, I stayed in the bathtub for more than half an hour, and I didn't even notice that the water was already cold. While wiping my body, I imagined Yirui-san's smile at this moment, and I thought she must be smiling.

It's nice that I can make friends with girls who are different from the people around me; It's nice that she's the only friend I've had in this school; It's nice to get to know her at the end of June.

I locked the screen of my phone and put it back on the bedside to charge.

I didn't lose track of time like I did yesterday and fell asleep early again.

The grassland flooded by stagnant water, the rain on a sunny day, the small trees that accompanied me, the girl who walked slowly towards me, I, came......
