I was living a sullen life at home.

My father was full of opinions about me, and it was not pleasing to the eye when I looked at it horizontally. He always thought I was out fighting that day.

On this day, it was already after August 20th, and as usual, after breakfast, I hid in my room. I lay on the bed, turned on the tape recorder, listened to Teresa Teng's songs repeatedly, and immersed myself in the music.

Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door.

"Set sail, open the door, set sail, open the door!" It's the mother's voice.

I didn't hear it, and lay motionless on the bed, though I knew that my mother's quick knock must have been something urgent.

"Zheng Qihang, I'm Wu Shufang!" A girl's voice came from outside the door.

I thought I had misheard. Why did Wu Shufang come to my house?

"I'm Wu Shufang!" The girl outside the door once again reported herself to the door.

It seems to be true. I had to get up and open the door. Wu Shufang and her mother stood at the door.

Wu Shufang smiled at me. She looked much more energetic than she had been that day, and her fair face was no longer so pale. A yellow sleeveless top with a pair of cropped jeans looks smart and dignified. "What are you doing locking yourself in your room on this hot day?"

"Y-all right." I say.

"I've been discharged from the hospital for days. I've always wanted to come over and thank you, but Dad can't find the time. It's finally here today. Come out, my mom and dad are here. Wu Shufang took my hand.

Wu Shufang's hands were very fleshy, soft, as if there were no bones.

We came to the living room. Ms. Wu's parents were chatting with her father. Two cups of cold boiled water were placed on the coffee table. Vintage ceiling fans turn overhead.

"Set sail, come, come on my uncle's side." Wu Shufang's father, who was tall and thin, said with a smile, "Shufang also sat down." ”

Ms. Wu's mother gave way. Mother went to the dining room and brought two stools. Wu Shufang and I sat on her father's left and right.

"Oh, Teacher Zheng, you don't know what a good child you have cultivated. We will be grateful to you for the rest of our lives. Wu Shufang's father was full of emotion.

"You've won a prize." Father said.

"No exaggeration. I've seen a lot of kids who can read. But it is rare to see someone like your son who reads so well and is so zealous for righteousness. Wu Shufang's father said.

"yes. Set sail is my daughter's great benefactor, a lifesaver. Wu Shufang's mother said.

Father apparently already knew what had happened.

"Auntie, please don't say that." I say.

"How else can you say that? That's true. Wu Shufang's father said, "If it weren't for you, my daughter would really be gone." Her mother and I didn't feel it at all when she did that stupid thing, how scared you are. ”

"Daddy." Wu Shufang said.

"It's all in the past, and it's okay to talk about it. Teacher Zheng is a teacher in your school, and she is not an outsider. Said the father.

"Auntie is also a teacher at our school." Wu Shufang added.

"Oh? Sister-in-law is also a teacher? A teacher's home, really a teacher's home. As a teacher, I am really good at educating my children, and I feel really guilty. Wu Shufang's father had a rich expression.

"We stinky old ninety, how can we compare with your director?" Father said.

"You're wrong. I may be better than you, but when it comes to education, I am not as good as you. When my daughter makes me angry, I know how to scold. I'm an acute. That day in the hospital, I also misunderstood your son. Set sail, you're not going to be angry, are you? Wu Shufang's father's gaze turned to me.

"If you don't mention it, I'll forget about it." I say.

"Hehehe, you see, you see, you can talk a lot. Truly, your son not only saved my daughter but also completely freed her from mental torture. In the past few days, Shufang has been very happy. You teachers also know that they always can't figure out this love and love. I can understand it. It's that big, after all. It is at this age. I'm very open-minded about that. That's how we've all come about. ”

Wu Shufang's parents sat in my house for about half an hour before leaving. The father is very talkative because he is mixed in officialdom. He was heard the whole time. Wu Shufang's mother is often silent, smiling, and seems very self-contained.

They brought a lot of stuff with them. They are all very valuable items. It seems that they came to thank them.

They also bought a soccer ball on purpose.

Wu Shufang had to stay with me for a while.

"It's okay," said the father, "and it's just a good time to talk about learning together." Aren't you all about to enter your third year of high school? I'll pick you up before dinner. ”

"I want to eat at Mr. Zheng's house." Wu Shufang said.

"How's that going to work? Why is it so troublesome? Wu Shufang's father said.

"Okay, okay, why not?" The mother hurriedly said, "Why can't you eat one meal?" Where's the trouble? ”

"That's it. Dad will pick you up in the afternoon. Wu Shufang's father readily agreed.

After Wu Shufang's parents left, we watched TV in the living room for a while, and chatted about some study topics by the way. Later, Wu Shufang proposed to go out for a walk.

I didn't want to go to the playground, but Wu Shufang wanted to go to the place where she cut her wrists.

"I want to walk under that tree again." Wu Shufang said.

"There are painful memories of you under that tree, why do you have to go for a walk?" I was puzzled, "Let's go to the teaching area." ”

"Because it's all in the past. Cutting my wrist was like cutting off a tumor on my hand. Wu Shufang smiled and said, "What I want to feel is how you could be there at that time." Why didn't I even notice you? I remember there was no one on the playground when I cut my wrists. ”

"I guess you didn't notice. You are so sad and desperate, how can you pay so much attention. "I'll help Wu Shufang analyze.

"Maybe."

"I'm playing all over the playground. When you are tired of kicking, you need to rest, and you have the shade there, so you lie down on the grass there, and then you can hear your sobs. "We walked up the playground and along the track.

"Looks like I didn't deserve it."

"yes. If that last kick hadn't been kicked in your direction, I probably wouldn't have gone there to rest and I wouldn't have noticed you. After all, the playground is too big. I said.

"It's called fate. For example, if you kick the ball this way," Wu Shufang pointed to the big camphor tree behind us on the right, "then you will lie here and rest." ”

"Yes."

"Then you won't notice someone who killed himself by slitting his wrists."

"Yes."

"It seems that my dad is right, and he is really afraid. It feels like you've been sent by God to save me. ”

"It was as if I had heard a command from above." I followed Wu Shufang's words.

"Really? Hehehe. Wu Shufang smiled happily.

I laughed.

"By the way, I said, why don't you ask me why I killed myself by cutting my wrists? Aren't you curious at all? Or don't you care at all? Wu Shufang tilted her head to look at me.

"This ...... It's that I'm afraid to bring back painful memories for you. If a person has the courage to cut his wrists, he must have suffered an incomparably painful blow. I said.

"Thank you for your understanding. You're right. It was Qi Jianguo who fell in love with another girl. Wu Shufang said.

"Is it the boy who attended Xiong Yanfei's birthday party with you?"

"Yes. I love him so much. It's a place where we often walk. It is under this tree that he says that he loves me, that he loves me only in this life, that the sea can wither rocks and rot, but his love for me remains the same. Wu Shufang said very naturally, as if she was talking about someone else's business.

Maybe it's because of life and death, maybe it's really like everything she said has passed, Wu Shufang said that there was no resentment against Qi Jianguo.

"Men who love women will say these things." I say.

"But we're really different. From the third year of junior high school to the second year of high school, we have been together for three years, three whole years, and we don't want him to break up if he says to break up. ”

"Actually, that's not a good thing. Everybody has to go through this. ”

"Hearing you say that, you seem to have experienced this kind of feeling, right? Could it be that you and Yanfei also have a conflict? Wu Shufang looked at me with wide eyes.

We've walked under that tree. The roots of the tree were soaked in blood, and the traces had not yet completely faded.

"I haven't experienced this kind of feeling. Xiong Yanfei has gone to Shanghai, and I can't get into trouble with her," I said, "How about it?" Do you feel anything? ”

"Nope. It's strange that I don't feel it at all. Were you lying in front of you? Wu Shufang asked.

"Yes. I was lying in that position. It's less than five meters away. I pointed to where I was lying, "The ball rolled this way, and I chased after it, because I was too tired, I lay straight on the ground, and I didn't pay that much attention." By the way, speaking of the ball, I tell you, the ball is not lost. My mom took it back when she looked for me. I also let you break the bank to buy a ball, you really have a heart. ”

"You save my life, what is it if I buy a ball? Think of it as a memorial. You also transfused 400CC of blood for me. Now I have your blood in my body. Wu Shufang looked at me.

Because of getting close to Wu Shufang, I found that her eyes are big, and her upper lip is slightly thicker than her lower lip, which looks very sexy.

I quickly shifted my gaze, "Let's go back, it's getting hotter." ”

By mid-morning, the temperature was already quite high.

"Okay. This place may be the last time it came. Wu Shufang said.

"Why?" Let's go back.

"Because I've completely cut off that feeling."

"Oh."

There was no topic for a while. I took a quick step forward and kicked the grass like a football.

"Do you know Xiong Yanfei's situation?" Wu Shufang followed up and suddenly asked.

My heart was shocked. "What's the situation?"

"She has leukemia."

"I know. She went to Shanghai for a review during the summer vacation. "I try to make myself feel as calm as possible.

"It's a troublesome disease, and I'm worried about ......," Ms. Wu said.

"She has had a bone marrow transplant and is recovering well, with no major problems this semester. It should be fine. ”

"I hope." Wu Shufang said.

"Hopefully?" My heart tightened.
