Sun Jiayu squatted down quickly, broke free from under his arm, laughed and ran away.

Rigor didn't watch out for this move, and the upper body that was vigorously losing its support suddenly lost its support, and fell to the ground in front of everyone's eyes. Fortunately, he was agile, and before more passers-by saw his embarrassment, he had already jumped up, slapping the dust on his body while scolding: "Stinky boy, you wait!" If you don't cry, I'll change your surname. ”

The first and second classes that afternoon were all English classes by the head teacher Yan Qing. As soon as class started, Yan Qing did not ask the students to open the textbooks first as usual, but put the homework books that had been collected in the morning in front of him, a total of two stacks. The stack on the right he handed over to the class representative to distribute after class, and the stack on the left, he held it in his hand and began to call the names one by one.

The students whose names were called stood up one after another, about a dozen, or a third of the class.

Yan Qing stepped down from the podium, looked at the dozen or so people one by one, and then walked back with his hands behind his back and opened the classroom door.

"You all go out." His voice was not high, but with unquestionable authority, "I will make up for the words that I didn't copy as required yesterday and come back to class." If you can't make it up today, you will make it up tomorrow, if you can't make it up tomorrow, there will be the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will be the day after tomorrow. ”

As a result, more than a dozen students who did not complete the transcription of words were all kicked out of the classroom. Most of them are boys, Sun Jiayu, Yan Yan and Xu Zhiqun are all in it.

It was class time, the playground was empty, and they gathered at the table tennis table on the side of the campus. The more honest students, who had already opened their English workbooks with sighs, began to stand and copy words. There are also those who refuse to accept their fate, such as Rigor and Sun Jiayu, one is lazily lying on the table tennis table, and the other is sitting on the parallel bars next to him with empty eyes. Xu Zhiqun is usually the only one who looks at the two of them, although he spreads out the homework book, he waits for the two to speak.

"Rigorous, Sun Jiayu, you two say, do you write or not?"

Sun Jiayu hooked down with his head down, let his upper body sway in the air, and replied angrily: "I can't get used to Lord Yama's problem, no, write!" Don't write a word! ”

"What then? Don't you really go to class? The midterm exam is over, and the parent-teacher conference is about to be held. Especially rigorous, his father's horsewhip, still don't beat him to death? ”

Sun Jiayu snorted impatiently: "What are you anxious about?" I'm trying to figure out how to get the blood flowing back to the brain! ”

As a few people were talking, a gust of wind suddenly rose on the ground, and the old fallen leaves on the edge of the playground were blown around, and the dust and sand were all up, and then there were sparse heavy raindrops crackling and falling.

Someone screamed, and everyone packed up their things in a panic to take shelter from the rain in the school building. Sun Jiayu suddenly thought about it at this moment. He jumped off the parallel bars and stopped his classmates who were running in front.

"Come with me, and I'll take you to a place that is warm and clean, and that you may never have to copy words again."

"Where are you going?" Everyone asked, "It's best not to copy the words, but what can you do?" Blow it, right? ”

"Just follow me." Sun Jiayu smiled mysteriously "Believe it or not", "Anyway, if I can't do it, you can just copy the words according to Lord Yama's requirements, if you can't copy it today, there will be tomorrow, and if you can't copy it tomorrow, there will be the day after tomorrow, right?" ”

When he said this, the other students felt that they would not lose anything by going with him. They were all boys, and they were the fattest sixteen or seventeen years old, and after a little flickering, they were all enthusiastic, and Hulala followed him, leaving only a few girls to follow from a distance and watch.

Sun Jiayu led everyone forward, but his direction was not towards the teaching building, but towards the teacher's office building. The closer he got to the office building, the softer the chatter behind him, and when he stopped in front of an office door, more than half of the footsteps behind him began to hesitate and retreat, and he couldn't wait to turn around and run.

Because of the door in front of Sun Jiayu, there is an eye-catching sign hanging on the door - the principal's office.

Sun Jiayu stood in front of the door of the principal's office, he was also a little timid for a while, he looked back at his classmates, and found that there was suddenly an empty area behind him, in addition to being rigorous, he was still standing beside him, and even Xu Zhiqun subconsciously stepped back and opened a distance from himself.

He looked at Rigor again, Rigor didn't speak, but stepped forward, stood side by side with him, and raised his fist at him, expressing my firm determination to die with you no matter how you die in the sword mountain and the sea of fire.

Sun Jiayu nodded gratefully, took a long breath, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.

A gentle voice inside said, "Please come in." ”

Sun Jiayu pushed the door in, and followed him rigorously. The two of them stood in front of the principal's desk, standing in a standard posture as much as possible, and then Sun Jiayu said in a calm voice: "Hello principal! We are students in the first (3) class of high school and were kicked out of the classroom today because we did not complete the homework assigned by the teacher beyond the syllabus. Now it's raining outside, and we don't have a place to shelter from the rain, so we came to ask the principal to find us a place to shelter from the rain so that we can finish the homework asked by the teacher. ”

The principal raised his head from the official document in front of him and looked at them through reading glasses: "What homework?" Take it and I'll take a look. Seeing the students in the rain outside the hallway, he beckoned again, "Come in, come in and talk." ”

After talking to Sun Jiayu, the principal made a phone call to the library on the spot, asking the library's reading room to be temporarily open for students for a few hours, so that they could make up their homework while sheltering from the rain. Then, during the afternoon self-study class, Yan Qing was called to the office by the principal and talked for more than an hour, and finally ended with Yan Qing admitting his mistake to the principal, admitting that his teaching method was too simple and rude, and promising not to use similar punishment methods in the future.

The students of Senior 1 (3) class won so much that most of the boys gathered at a snack bar outside the school to celebrate with soda instead of drink. Sun Jiayu's feat was regarded as a successful example of anti-teacher dignity, and a few years later, it was talked about by the younger students in the following years.

But some people didn't think much of their actions, except for those girls who were good friends with Yan Qing, there were also a few boys who didn't attend their celebration party, including Cheng Ruimin. Before the brigade set off, someone went to call him, Cheng Ruimin raised his head from the book, his expression and tone were quite cold: "I'm not interested, I'm sorry." ”

These words happened to be heard by the strict passing by, and he glared at Cheng Ruimin fiercely, and squeezed out a cold "sigh" word from between his teeth.

But this word "sigh" was unfortunately also heard by Cheng Ruimin, he raised his eyes and glanced at him, and the temperature was cold enough to make people's faces hang a layer of hoarfrost. As a result, the dislike between the two deepened again.

During the evening self-study time that day, Yan Qing said a few words on the podium, but he didn't say much, and he didn't name them, but he was heartfelt.

"If you have stiff wings and have the ability, you will all sue the emperor. Okay, I admit it. In the future, I will only complete my own work, and I will never work hard with you again. You love to learn or not, whatever. I'll just tell you one thing, ten years from now, I hope you don't regret what you did today. ”

At the last sentence, Yan Qing's eyes turned red, and the moment he slammed the door, the atmosphere in the classroom became very embarrassing. Some of the girls admired Yan Qing very much, so they turned around and glared angrily at the boys in the last row.

Sun Jiayu didn't see those unfriendly eyes, opened the math book and homework book casually, and began to write homework.

Rigorous but very angry, unceremoniously glared back at the girls, and shouted, "What do you see? What do you see? We risk being put in small shoes by the 'Lord of Yama' in the future to fight for everyone's rights and interests, you don't have to copy words until midnight in the future, it's okay if you are not grateful, but what kind of attitude do you have? ”

Cheng Ruimin, who was looking down at the book, turned his face to look at him at this time, his voice was not loud, but the words were very clear: "If you are not satisfied with Teacher Yan's teaching methods, you can directly ask Teacher Yan for advice." But behind the accusation, this kind of behavior can only be described in two words - despicable! ”

Sun Jiayu's eyes withdrew from the book, picked them up and glanced at Cheng Ruimin obliquely a few times, and then drooped down. At the same time, he pressed Rigor Rigor hard to prevent Rigor from jumping up to trouble Cheng Ruimin.

The next morning's three or four sessions were physics classes, and when he came back from recess exercises, Cheng Ruimin opened the table and took out his physics textbook, but found that someone had glued it up page by page and turned it into a hard brick. He was taken aback, and immediately took out all the contents of the table to check, and found that all the textbooks and homework books in it had suffered the same miserable situation. He flipped through them one by one, and at first he could still maintain his expression, until he took out an extracurricular book with an old cover, which was a copy of Hawking's "A Brief History of Time", a traditional Chinese version of Hong Kong in the early 90s, and a Chinese translation that no one in the mainland had ever seen. When he found out that the book had been completely ruined, he was so angry that his fingers trembled.

His table mates tried to help him remedy, using compasses and steel rulers to try to disassemble the pages that had been glued together. It can be opened, but the edges of the torn page become jagged, as if it had been gnawed by the teeth of a mouse.

Cheng Ruimin stared blankly at first, and suddenly seemed to wake up like a dream, rushed over and snatched the "A Brief History of Time", turned around and walked out of the classroom.

When he left, he didn't see anyone in two classes. A good student who has always been obedient and obedient actually skipped two full classes.

Cheng Ruimin's physics grades have always been the top in the grade, and he is the heart of the physics teacher. After figuring out the reason for Cheng Ruimin's truancy, the physics teacher didn't think about pursuing him for skipping class at all, but found Yan Qing after class and directly threw Cheng Ruimin's physics textbook on his desk.

"Look at it, look at the good things your students have done!"

Yan Qing was originally very angry when he heard what was going on, but as soon as he picked up the book, he almost laughed out loud: "These bastards, they have patience to do bad things, how much work does it take to do this page by page?" ”

"Are you still laughing?" The physics teacher was very dissatisfied, "I asked the other students about it, and he has something to do with you." Didn't you get called in by the principal yesterday to talk? Cheng Ruimin contradicted the most naughty rigor in your class because he spoke for you. ”

"Rigorous? Yan Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth, "Okay, I know." ”

Yan Qing is not a saint, although he promised in front of the principal that he would never have any prejudices against the two of them because of Sun Jiayu and his strict behavior of leading the students to complain, but the knot in his heart that could not be solved would still pop up at the right time to make him grind his teeth when he encountered the right opportunity.

Yan Qing wants to talk to Cheng Ruimin first. But in the afternoon, he didn't show up in chemistry class and self-study class. It wasn't until the end of the evening self-study that he appeared in a trance, talking to him at the same table, he didn't seem to hear anything, his eyes were straight, his eyes seemed to be completely unfocused, he just swept all the books and stationery on the desk into his school bag, picked it up and left.

In the morning self-study the next day, as soon as Yan Qing entered the classroom, he found that Cheng Ruimin's seat was still empty, and he sighed in his heart, and he felt very uneasy. Based on Yan Qing's understanding of Cheng Ruimin, he is the kind of rare student who can find happiness in his own learning and can strictly manage himself. Absenteeism and truancy for no reason happened to him, and it was as unacceptable as the sun coming out of the west.

Yan Qing exited the classroom, stood outside the door and thought about it, feeling that this matter could be big or small, but he thought that as a student, no matter what happened, he couldn't give up on himself to the point of skipping class. In the end, he went to the teaching office to find Cheng Ruimin's parents' work unit and contact information, and called according to the phone number.

He called Cheng Ruimin's mother first, and the person who answered the phone told him that the child's mother had just gone abroad yesterday and would not return to China in a short time. When I called Cheng Ruimin's father's unit again, the other party said that Lao Cheng went on a business trip to the field today and would not be able to come back in a week. Yan Qing asked, who takes care of the children in the family? The other party replied that Lao Cheng's children have strong self-care skills, and they are good at cooking and washing clothes, and they don't have to worry about adults. The phone had already hung up, and Yan Qing was still holding the microphone in a daze, because he suddenly found that he didn't know anything about this so-called proud protégé. This child, who seems to have an excellent family education, has always been left to fend for himself and grow on his own.

The third or fourth period in the morning was Teacher Chen Fang's math class, and Cheng Ruimin finally appeared. His performance in class, except for his face is not very good-looking, the rest is normal. After listening to Chen Fang's briefing, Yan Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, he sighed and said, "Teacher Chen, why don't you talk to him, I'll ...... I'm afraid he won't tell me a lot of things, but he might be willing to talk to you about it. ”

During the lunch break, Chen Fang called Cheng Ruimin to the office, washed an apple for him, poured him a cup of hot water, and comforted him: "You don't have to worry about textbooks, your teacher Yan has already told the director of academic affairs, and I will help you buy a set." ”

Cheng Ruimin didn't take the apple, but just picked up the cup of hot water: "Thank you, teacher." ”

"What's going on with that "A Brief History of Time"?"

Cheng Ruimin raised his face and looked at Chen Fang. The boy's skin became more and more pure in the sunlight, shrouded in a layer of fluffy gold. In those black and white eyes, there is also the honesty and simplicity of a teenager.

He said: "My grandfather bought the book and gave it to me when I returned to Beijing. ”

"It means something very different to you, doesn't it?"

"Yes."

"Can you tell the teacher why?"

Cheng Ruimin's eyelashes slowly drooped, and he hesitated. The heat rose from the teacup, moistening his eyelashes a little, and for a moment his eyes seemed to glow red in the shadows.

Chen Fang held her breath and didn't dare to make a sound, this precocious student was different from other chaotic older children, his heart was as sensitive as a string that was about to break, at this moment she was afraid that if she accidentally said a wrong word, he would completely close her heart.

"Teacher Chen," he finally spoke, but his voice was so low that he could barely be heard, "if I told you the truth, you wouldn't laugh at me, would you?" ”

Chen Fang stared at him intently for a while, sighed, pulled a chair and sat in front of him, "How come?" You speak slowly, and the teacher listens. ”

"Ever since I was a child, I felt that I was different from others." Cheng Ruimin held the teacup tightly with both hands, so hard that the green tendons on the back of his hands floated, but his tone was calm beyond his age, and he couldn't hear the joy and sorrow at all, "I was sent to Xiamen by my parents when I was three years old, and I grew up in Xiamen. In the beginning, the children there didn't play with me, because I spoke with a different accent than them, because they both had mom and dad, but I only had my grandfather. Those children told me that it must be because I was not obedient and disobedient that my parents didn't want me anymore. For a long, long time, I didn't understand what that particularly uncomfortable feeling was, I just wanted to be obedient and obedient, and I couldn't make my grandfather angry, otherwise my grandfather wouldn't want me. Later, I learned that no matter how bad I was, my grandfather would never want me...... When I was in my second year of junior high school, my parents took me back to Beijing, just in time for the release of the first Chinese edition of "A Brief History of Time", and my grandfather specially asked a friend in Hong Kong to buy it for me, and he told me since I was a child that only science can strengthen the country. I took it back to Beijing and kept it with me as if my grandfather was sitting next to me......"

Chen Fang kept looking at him with compassion in her eyes. She also has a 10-year-old daughter, and she wondered what would happen if it was her own daughter who had this happening. Just thinking about it like this, she felt her heart feel bored, and she couldn't help but get up and walk to the window.

The first-year teacher's office is on the first floor, and the lawn and a few dense green trees are outside the window, and in a blink of an eye, several figures quickly hide behind the trees from the root of the window. Chen Fang stood in front of the window for a long time, and the children behind the tree stuck to the tree and refused to come out, although the wind blew their clothes from time to time, although Chen Fang had already seen who they were.

In the end, Chen Fang smiled, closed the window sash tightly, and walked back to Cheng Ruimin's side, "Cheng Ruimin, do you know who did it?" ”

Cheng Ruimin glanced up at her suddenly, and quickly lowered his head.

Chen Fang waited patiently for him to speak, but he said, "I don't know. ”

"Then do you estimate who did it?"

Cheng Ruimin put down the teacup and replied seriously: "Estimation can't replace the facts, Mr. Chen, I can't talk nonsense." ”

Without giving face like this, Chen Fang didn't get angry, but became curious: "They always bully you like this, don't you want them to be punished?" ”

Cheng Ruimin's eyes drifted away and drifted to an unoccupied corner of the office. It took at least forty seconds for Chen Fang to hear his answer: "It's okay. I'm used to this kind of thing. ”

This sentence made Chen Fang close her eyes. At this moment, she realized that in Cheng Ruimin's heart, there was a dead knot that was difficult to untie, and this dead knot, as a teacher, she was completely powerless. In the future, this child may not lack money or power, but there will always be a black hole in his heart, which will affect his sense of security in his life.

"So, the last time you cried, was it because you were afraid that I would be disappointed in you?"

Cheng Ruimin lowered his head: "Yes." ”

Chen Fang sighed deeply and put his hand on his shoulder, "Give me that book, and I'll go to the Liuli Factory on the weekend to see if there is a way to restore it." ”

The conversation did not lead to anything, and Cheng Ruimin did not confess to anyone in the end. However, Cheng Ruimin does not intend to pursue it, which does not mean that Yan Qing is willing to settle the matter. As a class teacher, he couldn't tolerate such a bad incident passing silently under his nose.

The public conflict between Rigor and Cheng Ruimin has been seen by many people, and this fact is irrefutable. With this reason, Yan Qing called Rigor into the office, reprimanded him sideways, and told Rigor that not punishing him at the moment does not mean that he doesn't know anything, what bad things he and his fox friends have done Everyone knows in their hearts, and it is best to be honest with his tail between his legs these days, otherwise they will not be able to eat and walk around at the parent-teacher meeting in two weeks.

Sun Jiayu and Xu Zhiqun were waiting outside the door, and seeing him walk out dejectedly, the two of them knew that something was not good, and they both wilted in an instant.

The three of them hid behind the bushes on the edge of the playground, and Sun Jiayu handed him a bottle of soda: "What's the matter?" What did Lord Yama say? ”

Rigor raised his head and poured half a bottle of soda in one go, and then said, "What else can he say?" Beat me up. must have used glue to get books, Cheng Ruimin sued him. ”

Xu Zhiqun anxiously asked, "What about us?" ”

Rigorous punched him in the chest: "Fatty, you are the most uninteresting!" When I went back to the principal's office, I didn't dare to go in. I'll tell you, the lord took all the responsibility on himself, he didn't become a traitor, and he didn't confess any of you! ”

Sun Jiayu didn't speak, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and it took a long time before he spoke: "No, I think you made a mistake, you shouldn't admit it easily, Cheng Ruimin definitely didn't sue Lord Yan." ”

Rigorous was not convinced: "Why? ”

"You see, according to the temper of Lord Yama, if he wants to know who did it, he will definitely not be the only one who did it. He only bites you because you have a conflict with that kid, and many people have seen it. He didn't look for me and Xu Zhiqun, and he didn't mention the bicycle tires, right? This proves that Cheng Ruimin didn't mention our grievances to him at all. How clear things are, think about it, isn't this the truth? ”

Xu Zhiqun really lowered his head and thought about it, but he shook his head rigorously: "It doesn't matter if he mentions it or not, anyway, I have formed a bond with him." It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Sooner or later I'll have to clean him up! ”

Not long after he said this, an incident happened that made his dislike for Cheng Ruimin rise to the extreme.

It was a Friday. After the third period in the afternoon, the boys' basketball game of the first year of high school was held as scheduled. The competition of the day was the final between the senior one (2) class and the senior one (3) class to compete for the champion and runner-up of the grade.

Rigor and Sun Jiayu are both the main players of the school basketball team, so the senior one (3) class has always been the most optimistic prospective champion team. But the first (2) class of high school is not good at stubble, although there are no star players like Rigor and Sun Jiayu, but the overall strength is not weak, the style is strong, and it is an opponent who is not easy to deal with. It was a hard-fought game, and at the end of the first half, the scores were very close, 46-44, and (3) class temporarily led by a narrow one-goal advantage.

As soon as the team members got off the field, they were surrounded by the girls in the class, handing water, towels, and hard work. There are many girls from other grades and other classes on the side of the court, most of them are here to see Sun Jiayu, and the girls who like him in the school can almost be formed into a reinforced platoon. When he was standing and drinking a bottle of water, the sound of "Come on Sun Jiayu" around him was endless, so that he had to turn around, take off a hat from the head of the classmate next to him, bow slightly, and make an elegant arc from his chest, and perform a very standard court knightly salute to thank them for their support.

The scene was so sour that it wrinkled his whole face. Sun Jiayu has always had a good relationship with girls, as a good friend, although he never refused to admit it, he was still very jealous subconsciously. He turned his face to the other side, simply out of sight. At the moment when he turned his head, he saw Liu Bei from class (2) standing not far away, laughing with the girls in their class. Rigorous's mood suddenly improved, and he ran over with the basketball, pretending to say hello: "Hey, you're also coming to see the game?" ”

Liu Bei is well-known for her generosity at school, and in the face of the boy who intends to talk to her, she didn't mean to be shy at all, but waved her hand towards rigor and rigor said: "Yes, you played so well, no wonder you are the captain of the school team." I don't usually get a chance to watch you go out and compete, but today I really saw it. ”

This sentence made the pink bubbles begin to bubble up in his heart, he hugged the basketball and waved his hand to Liu Bei heroically: "Look, I will definitely open your eyes today." ”

So in the first twenty minutes of the second half of the game, the first (3) class of high school became a rigorous individual technical show. He scored a total of 11 points alone, shot five times, hit 100 percent, and hit the three-point shot, so the slogan of the (3) class cheerleaders on the side of the court gradually unified from "(3) class cheering" to "rigorous cheering".

After another successful layup, Rigor happily circled the court amid cheers. He used his eyes to look for Liu Bei, but inadvertently saw Cheng Ruimin holding two bottles of yogurt in his hands, squeezing in from outside the crowd and standing beside Liu Bei. Elbows touch her arm and hand him the yogurt. Liu Bei smiled at Cheng Ruimin, but she didn't know what Cheng Ruimin said, so she raised her face and smiled like a flower in the sun.

Rigor was stunned for an instant, and his heart was like opening a vinegar factory, and the sour bubbles were bubbling up. Just when he was stunned, Sun Jiayu ran over and punched him on the shoulder: "What are you doing?" Still not ready to get in place? ”

Rigor shook his head violently, trying to shake the scene out of his mind. But it was useless, the shots of the two people talking and laughing, like a slideshow, were frozen into a clear picture.

His teammate passed the ball to him, he caught it, and for a moment he didn't know what to do next. The image flickered in front of his eyes, occupying most of his field of vision, and out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to see a basket, and in a trance, he subconsciously repeated a movement that he had trained thousands of times: take a step with his left foot, take a step with his right foot, jump, and raise his hand to the basket. The ball is in! However, instead of cheers and cheers, there was an uncharacteristically silent silence. The silence lasted for at least half a minute, before it exploded like boiling water in a pan of oil, only to be filled with boos and inverted colors.

Rigorous this three-point shot actually threw into his own basket!

The moment he realized that he had thrown an own goal, he was so ashamed that he could turn back the clock so that he could have a chance to correct the mistake. After a few minutes of consternation, none of the teammates in class (3) blamed him, but came to comfort him. But these comforting words did not help him, and he beat his head in shame and anger. Only Sun Jiayu stood next to him and didn't speak, pulled his hand away, stuffed the basketball into his hand, hugged his shoulder tightly, and then ran away.

The wordless hug from his friend made him feel better. With a whistle, the game resumed. However, the luck of the first (3rd) class of high school, as well as the rigorous state of the game, seemed to disappear with this own goal that went into the wrong basket. In the second half of the second half, Class (3) seemed to be under a spell, and the basketball had been making intimate contact with the basket, but rarely actually fell into the Nets. (3) Ban lost all the way, and (2) Ban tied the score with only two minutes left before the end.

Sun Jiayu, who was guarding the penalty area, finally succeeded in grabbing the rebound, and the moment he caught the ball, he clearly realized in his heart that this was likely to be the last chance before the end of the game, and the victory or defeat was in one fell swoop. Deftly dodging the tackles of the opposing two players, he quickly jumped again.

The accident happened at that moment. Not only the players on the field, but even the spectators standing in the distance, most of them clearly heard a loud "bang", followed by an even heavier sound of falling to the ground - Sun Jiayu was maliciously hit by the opponent's sturdy defender, and was caught off guard, suddenly fell from the air, and fell heavily on the cement field.

For a few minutes, he seemed to lose consciousness and lay motionless on the field. The surrounding students were all panicked, and even the senior varsity players who served as referees were so frightened that they forgot to blow the final whistle. The crowd rushed over to visit, and the court was completely chaotic, and the players of the two classes began to accuse each other, and where the words were intense, several emotional ones tore up on the spot, and after being pulled away by their classmates, they were still jumping and shouting in the air.

Sun Jiayu finally woke up, and a strong look of pain appeared on his face. Rigor tried to help him sit up, but was interrupted by a shout: "Don't move him!" Don't touch him! Then a person squeezed into the crowd and pushed away rigorously, but it was Cheng Ruimin, who had never spoken loudly in front of people.

When he saw him, he felt angry and rushed to the top of his head, and vigorously squeezed Cheng Ruimin, and he said viciously: "Who are you?" What do you want? ”

"Shut up!" Cheng Ruimin glared at him, "If you want him to be hurt even more, you will continue to do nonsense!" ”

His voice was not high, but he had a momentum that was not angry but mighty, and he actually suppressed the rigor, and he was silent. Cheng Ruimin didn't look at him anymore, squatted in front of Sun Jiayu and asked softly, "Where do you think it's hurt?" ”

Sun Jiayu was so painful that he could barely make a sound, only barely pointed to his neck and shoulders, and then curled up his legs to change his position, hoping to relieve the pain at the moment.

Cheng Ruimin hurriedly pressed his back and motioned him not to move, then raised his head and began to command the students next to him with a calm expression: "Xu Zhiqun, you go to the school doctor's office to find the school doctor; Liu Bei, you go to the office to make a call, call 120 to call an ambulance; Rigorous, Huang Wenshan, you two, cooperate with me, support his waist and legs, keep pace with me, and turn him over. ”

His voice is mature and calm, involuntarily convincing and obedient. Everyone watched as he held Sun Jiayu's head and neck with one hand, supported his armpit with the other, and the other two supported his waist and legs.

As soon as he changed to a supine position, the pain in his shoulder was reduced by half, and the muscles in Sun Jiayu's face slowly relaxed. Cheng Ruimin didn't dare to be careless, and kept kneeling beside him on one leg, carefully supporting his head until the school doctor arrived.

The school doctor was a little surprised by the orderly situation at the scene. She looked at Cheng Ruimin: "Have you learned first aid?" ”

"No, according to the book." Cheng Ruimin stood up, patted the dust on his knees, and replied indifferently, "He seems to have injured his cervical spine and collarbone, and I will leave it to you here." ”

After saying that, he pushed away the students in front of him and left without looking back. For Cheng Ruimin, it is really difficult for him to forget what happened to his grandfather's "A Brief History of Time". Being willing to help Sun Jiayu does not mean that he will forgive them.

Sun Jiayu had a comprehensive examination in the hospital, and in addition to the collarbone fracture, there was also a slight misalignment of the cervical vertebrae. After listening to the doctor's instructions, his mother pointed to his head and said, "Count yourself lucky, fortunately your classmate is clever and didn't let you move, otherwise it would probably affect the nerves and blood vessels of the spinal cord." When you go back to school, you have to thank them. In the future, you will study hard for me, and I will not be allowed to play basketball before the college entrance examination. ”

Sun Jiayu grimaced and didn't take his mother's words seriously. It's just that those two words about Cheng Ruimin made him lose his mind a little bit.

And rigorous, because he found that the girl he liked had an abnormal relationship with Cheng Ruimin, and the new hatred was added to the old hatred, he vowed that he must give Cheng Ruimin some color.

Sun Jiayu rested at home for a week, and then came to school with a neck covering. His group of sworn friends were clamoring to sign his neck cuff as a souvenir. Sun Jiayu dealt with them while looking for Cheng Ruimin with his eyes.

Cheng Ruimin still had that cold and slightly disgusted expression, and he didn't hear the laughter on their side. But as soon as the self-study class was over, he picked up two books and left the classroom.

Sun Jiayu chased him out.

Cheng Ruimin did not go far, but sat down on the steps on the side of the playground rostrum, spreading the book on his lap. But his mind was obviously not focused on the book, but on his cheeks, staring blankly at the playground in front of him. In the short gap between dinner and evening self-study, students can release the excess energy accumulated throughout the day. He watched so intently that he didn't even notice that Sun Jiayu walked to his side. It wasn't until Sun Jiayu sat down beside him and watched the scenery with him for a while that he realized that there was one more person beside him.

"What's the matter?" He was a little impatient to be disturbed quietly.

"Nothing." This kind of coldness was expected by Sun Jiayu, so he just raised his eyebrows, "I want to say thank you to you." My mom said, if it weren't for you, I might be paraplegic. ”

Cheng Ruimin still looked ahead: "If you change anyone, I will do that." Don't say it's a human, it's just a cat or a dog, I'll help you, you don't have to thank me. ”

Being ridiculed like this, even if Sun Jiayu was mentally prepared, he was still a little embarrassed, turned his head and smiled, his hand reached into the placket of his jacket and fumbled for a while, took out a book, and put it on Cheng Ruimin's lap.

It was a Hong Kong version of the traditional "A Brief History of Time", with brand new pages.

"In addition to a thank you, I owe you a word of sorry." Facing Cheng Ruimin's surprised gaze, he said calmly, "This is the version that my mother brought from Hong Kong and specifically found you." ”

Cheng Ruimin's gaze froze on Sun Jiayu's face for a long time, and he could see that he was shocked. After a while, he finally lowered his head, rubbed his fingertips on the cover for a while, and then threw the book back to Sun Jiayu. "Take it back, I don't need it. Mr. Chen has already repaired that book for me. ”

Sun Jiayu took the book, looked at the sky, looked at the ground, and shrugged helplessly.

"You don't have to accept my apology." "I knew it wasn't going to replace the original book anyway," he said. However, let's take it as the sincerity of my apology, Cheng Ruimin, I'm really sorry! You better take this book, it's very expensive, more than 100 Hong Kong dollars, and it will be a waste if you put it here, because I can't understand it at all. ”

Cheng Ruimin finally turned his head and glanced at him: "This is already the most popular science model about the universe, what can't you understand?" ”

finally succeeded in arousing his desire to speak, Sun Jiayu tilted his head and looked at him playfully: "So you are a talented student." Hey, seriously, tell me, what exactly is the black hole paradox? I read the explanation back and forth a dozen times, and I knew all the words, but when they were put together, I just couldn't understand them. ”

Cheng Ruimin's cheeks showed two dimples imperceptibly: "Are you sure you can understand if I explain it?" ”

"It's so hurtful!" Sun Jiayu stretched out his arm, put it on Cheng Ruimin's shoulder very naturally, and said with a smile, "Although I'm not a good student, I also have self-esteem, okay?" ”

Cheng Ruimin's body trembled obviously, and he seemed to be very uncomfortable with the physical contact of others. After hesitating for a moment, he still gave way to the side, quietly avoiding Sun Jiayu's arm.

"Actually, I guess our physics teacher can't fully understand it." He said, "If you want to understand everything, you need quantum theory as a foundation." ”

Sun Jiayu immediately showed a look of admiration: "Can you understand it?" No wonder you get so good in physics! ”

Cheng Ruimin laughed. There was rarely such a cheerful smile on his face, and it seemed like a glow was leaking from the dark clouds for a moment. "If I can understand it, I won't stay here, but go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. But even if you can't read it all, just look at it, that book is very interesting. ”

The two chatted for a long time that day, and Sun Jiayu was surprised to find that the taciturn Cheng Ruimin could also be so talkative, talking about the theory of relativity, wormholes and time travel, it was like entering a new world, and he couldn't interject at all, and the level of chatter was completely comparable to himself.

The two of them said happily and completely forgot the time. It wasn't until it was getting dark, and there were fewer and fewer people on the playground, that the two of them realized that they were going to study at night, but they hadn't gone to dinner yet.
