Chapter 5: The Bird and the Whale (5)

At night, Lin Anyu was woken up by the sound of an argument, it was about three o'clock in the morning, it was raining outside again, the mixed smell came in from outside the window, the light rain slapped against the window, and a few small water droplets under the blurred moon shadow condensed together, like a few laughing children, and then slid down the glass. Lin Anyu opened the window, and a gust of cold wind slipped in, and she couldn't help but shiver.

Cool, refreshing cool.

The dim yellow light of the outhouse refracted through the crack in the door, and the sound of parents arguing was heard along with it. Lin Anyu quietly got out of bed, put his ear to the crack of the door, and faintly smelled the slightest smell of wine, but all that came to his mind was his father's tired face.

"You're going to drink again, get a divorce, we." Cheng Huajuan looked coldly at the man leaning against the door and full of alcohol.

may have just smoked outside before coming in, Lin Yiyong's faint smell of tobacco and strong alcohol smell mixed together with an indescribable taste. He walked in by the light of the moon and the faint light of the house, and time fell on him, less than a day, as if he were ten years old.

Lin Yiyong didn't say anything, he took out another cigarette from his arms, the lighter in his pocket was obviously running out of gas, and there was only a faint light when he opened it, barely able to light the cigarette. The smoke exhaled by Lin Yiyong was around him, and Lin Anyu looked out through the crack in the door, like his mother in the kitchen today.

"Bang", the cigarette was knocked out by Cheng Huajuan and fell on the dark floor, because the fire was not big and it was extinguished by itself without external force. Lin Anyu didn't see Cheng Huajuan's expression, but she guessed that her mother must be disappointed now, frowning a little and expressionless.

I don't know why I described it like this, because my mother has always been expressionless and has never crossed the line.

Lin Yiyong still didn't speak, took out another cigarette, and re-lit it by the faint light of the fire, Cheng Huajuan slapped it off like this, back and forth I don't know how long it took, until there was a long cigarette butt on the ground.

Lin Anyu is tired, it seems that there are many silent quarrels like this, it may be a feeling, because old age and death do not get along with each other and love someone is the same strength and determination, she believes that the two are in love, even if they once wanted to give up, but under the stars, the birds and whales will also run in. For Lin Anyu, not leaving is the best gift for her, it is an existence that is more dazzling than the sun.

At four o'clock in the morning, the lights outside dimmed, Lin Anyu went back to bed, but she couldn't sleep, the rain seemed to be a little lighter, and the street lights outside were still on.

Less than half past six in the morning, the sky was not completely bright, just like the sun that fell in the semicircle last night, Lin Anyu closed her eyes and didn't fall asleep for more than two hours, she didn't want to go to school today, I don't know if it was because she was afraid of facing Jiang Wan or because of the weather. I don't want to ask for leave, it's not a bad student's behavior, it's absenteeism.

Father has already gone to work, from last night to this morning, less than three hours, Lin Anyu didn't eat breakfast and casually put on a coat and went out, ignoring his mother's panicked expression in the back, oh, by the way, his mother was expressionless and panicked.

Lin Anyu walked on the gravel road, the stones were ripe brown with a little bit of dark yellow soil, the wind blowing over was gentle and soft, and the leaves on the side of the road were also red and pointed, as if they were going to pull autumn in little by little.

In the headphones is Jay Chou's starry sunshine, which should be in harmony with the surrounding scenery, eat away the sorrow, no matter where you go, it's a sunny day, this feels so good, it's really liberating, "liberation".

With a "bang", the undried water in the mud puddle of rain yesterday was lowered to Lin Anyu's pants by the speeding bicycle, leaving an obvious piece of black.

Ji Shuchen stopped not far away on his bicycle, and because of the panic, he collapsed before he could stop the bicycle. Lin Anyu shook her stained trouser legs vigorously, but the mud had already entered the inner layer, and she couldn't help but raise her head to look at the young man in front of her.

The air seemed to condense, and time seemed to stop at the moment when the bicycle passed by her, Lin Anyu held her breath, her eyes met Ji Shuchen, and she thought of many ways to meet, but she didn't expect it to be so sudden.

The sky seemed to be a little brighter, Ji Shuchen ran to Lin Anyu, he lowered his head and looked at Lin Anyu's trouser legs, and then scratched his head a little embarrassed. "Does it matter?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll just go home and wash up." Lin Anyu's cheeks quickly turned red due to the dilation of capillaries, but fortunately, her head was lowered in time, so that Ji Shuchen did not notice the abnormality.

"You're an high school, aren't you?" Then Ji Shuchen said in surprise as if he suddenly understood something: "Are you a transfer student who is coming today?" That dance specialty? ”

Transfer students? Dance specialty? Lin Anyu didn't know these things, Ji Shuchen was in class seven, although he was in the next class, but Lin Anyu usually stayed at home, sometimes she didn't know anything in the class, and she didn't know that there was a transfer student in class seven. However, what she cares about is that her classmates are all at the same table for seven years, doesn't Ji Shuchen remember her?

"I'm not, I'm Lin Anyu from Class 8, I took a leave of absence today, that's why I didn't wear a school uniform, and you still ......" Lin Anyu specially emphasized her name, she thought to herself that even if Ji Shuchen didn't remember what she looked like, she should always remember her name. She actually didn't really want Ji Shuchen to recognize her, but there was always an ardent hope in her mind, to be precise, expectation.

But the latter sentence "Do you remember me?" "I didn't say anything.

But Ji Shuchen still disappointed her, he just smiled in the spirit of his sunny boy, and then said: "Oh, it turned out to be from the next class, if you have something in the future, you can find me, Ji Shuchen, the seventh class of high school." ”

A proper warm man set.

So you really don't remember her?

Lin Anyu nodded obediently, just like before, Lin Anyu was also quiet like a kitten. Ji Shuchen picked up the bicycle that fell on the side of the road, the front of the bicycle was a little damaged, this was still the one he rode in junior high school, but it was obvious that the outside was painted with a new layer of paint, which was light blue, and if you didn't look carefully, you would really think it was a new car.

Lin Anyu suddenly wanted to go back to school, and it was not too late to go, as long as she ran quickly, because she really wanted to see what that dance specialty was growing. They say that people who can dance, like the elves of the forest, wear pale pink and somewhat translucent veils, layer after layer like a fairy tale cake. Then standing on tiptoe, delicate and elegant, is the most beautiful existence in the world. That girl will definitely be the darling of the school when she comes.

When she came out in the morning, in order not to let Cheng Huajuan suspect her, she put her school uniform in her schoolbag, and then Lin Anyu found a small pavilion with shade and put her schoolbag on the stone bench, and then took out the shabby blue and white school uniform, and when she just put on one arm, she vaguely heard the sound of people around her chewing food.

There was a person sitting on the back of the shade of the tree not far away, the tree just blocked him, only leaking out a black corner of his clothes, Lin Anyu didn't care, but when the corner of the clothes flickered, she saw the little bear paper clip pinned to the inside of the corner of the clothes, which she made for her father in the handicraft class in elementary school, and later gave it to Lin Yiyong as a gift for Father's Day.

If in the novel, there must be a heavy rain in the sky that is being prepared, and then wait until the necessary time and then it will go on and on. But now the sky is as blue as a wash, and there is a faint smell of earth in the air after the rain, and it seems that it will not rain again today.

Guilt was in Lin Anyu's heart, bumping into his mind, if it weren't for last night's impulsiveness, this would not have happened at all, all the funds in the family came from his father, and he blamed himself. She wanted to rush over and hug her fragile and fragile father and tell him it was okay, but she couldn't, she wanted to keep what little pride he had left.

Jiang Wan's voice appeared in her mind, and this was the beginning.

After arriving at the class, half of the class had already been taken, the math teacher glanced at Lin Anyu and let her in without speaking, probably giving up on her, the teacher looked at her eyes, her eyes were raised, and in layman's terms, she rolled her eyes and looked disgusted.

The corners of Jiang Wan's mouth also rose, and those who didn't know should think that she had won the lottery. The more guilty Lin Anyu felt, the more he hated Jiang Wan, like the milky white with a little chocolate-colored foam caused by the violent shaking of the carbon dioxide in the cola, and he wanted to rush out in a hurry but to no avail because the bottle cap was not opened.

She wants Jiang Wan to die, this is the deepest thought in Lin Anyu's heart, she does not deny that she is a wicked person, although she is usually as docile as a little white rabbit, but when she is fried, she is more piercing than a hedgehog.

At the end of class, Jiang Wan came to Lin Anyu's side, "See you at the school gate after school." ”

Later, Lin Anyu learned that when he was young and ignorant, it was not because of how bad he was, but because he wanted to use the well-known side of others to cover up his ugly inferiority complex and his truest self.
