That morning, I accompanied Chu Huoyu to the cafeteria for breakfast, and then went to the classroom early.

There were already a few people sitting in the classroom, chatting comfortably.

Ai Sadako is also in position. She greeted me happily with a smile on her face.

I smiled at her awkwardly. It's very different from what I imagined.

I sat in my seat and flipped through the books very casually.

The students began to enter the classroom, but the place next to me was still empty.

The positions on Xu Zhengping and Cao Shuigen are also empty.

Originally, they came early every day.

Then I heard the bell ringing.

Then I heard the teachers walking down the aisle.

Ding Ying hasn't come yet.

Xu Zhengping and Cao Shuigen came, but Cao Shuigen supported Xu Zhengping. I saw a big bag on Xu Zhengping's forehead. Vertical bar type. At first glance, it is clear that it is a soft tissue contusion formed by an external force.

The students sitting in the front row greeted one after another, and I heard Xu Zhengping say that he stumbled over a stone and knocked it.

A class passed, but Ding Ying did not arrive.

One class has passed, but Ding Ying still hasn't arrived.

I became less and less distracted from the lectures. When a father comes to see his daughter, he will not let his daughter not go to class to accompany him.

Of course, there may be such fathers. However, I more or less learned that the relationship between Ding Ying and her father has always been not very harmonious, and I can also feel from the scene of their father and daughter meeting yesterday that it will not be one night, and the relationship between father and daughter will immediately be harmonious to the point where the daughter can't attend class and the father and daughter are shopping in the provincial capital.

It is more likely that Ding Ying's father caught her sleeping in a hotel last night, and went to the landlord early this morning to check out, or to find another house to rent. In a word, my father never let her live in the same room with me anymore.

I guess this could be a big deal.

Maybe 100% of the time it's running.

If so, it is okay to avoid a lot of unnecessary embarrassment. At least you don't have to explain too much about exchanging places with the fire jade.

As soon as last night's incident happened, Chu Huoyu couldn't live in the Youth Book House anyway.

During the recess, I made work arrangements with Xu Zhengping and Cao Shuigen. Xu Zhengping told me the details of the wrestling.

"Did you mean you fell on the way to class?" I am quite skeptical of Xu Zhengping's account.

"yes, early in the morning, wrestling, mildew. On the way to our platform, some dead ghost threw a stone there. I was looking up at the words on the signboard of our platform. Xu Zhengping said a little unnaturally.

Cao Shuigen laughed silently.

"Haven't you seen that before?" I asked.

"I used to just scan it, and I didn't pay attention to what it was. It seems to be a willow body, right, Kim Dae. ”

"It's Mi Fu body." I say.

Approaching, look at Xu Zhengping's injury, popularly speaking, it has come out from the inside out, professionally, look at the color of the injury, you can also conclude that it is not caused by falling in the morning.

Xu Zhengping was lying.

At least six hours ago.

But I didn't pierce Xu Zhengping's deliberate lies. If he deliberately lied, why should I pierce it?

It was so restless, and a morning passed.

Zhu Defa showed up at the door of our classroom on time.

Everyone else dispersed, leaving only the two of us in the classroom.

"Didn't Ding Ying come all morning?" Zhu Defa became so energetic and confident again.

I shook my head and said, "Yes." She didn't go back to her rented place last night. By the way, there is one thing I told you in advance, I will exchange places and accommodations with Chu Huoyu tonight. I slept in the Youth Book House and let Chu Huoyu live in a rented house. ”

"Thank you, brother, for making it difficult for you." Zhu Defa patted me on the shoulder in a friendly way, "Where do you guess Ding Ying will go?" With her father. ”

"I don't know. Why don't you come with me to our rented place at noon? "I propose.

"This ...... I'm still not going to forget it. ”

"It's okay. It's no secret anymore. ”

Before going to the cafeteria to eat, I turned to the platform to have a look, and to my surprise, Ai Sadako was sitting on the platform. She was answering the phone when I walked. She said as she made a note on the parent information list.

"How are you?" I said when Ai Sadako finished answering the phone.

"I'll replace Ding Ying. Ding Ying didn't come to school, and I estimated that there was no one on duty on the platform, so I came over. Were you okay last night? Ai Sadako asked with concern.

"Ah," I was a little surprised. Ai Sadako's reaction was too unusual. "I'm fine. Thank you. Hey, didn't Xu Zhengping come? ”

"He went to the cafeteria. The call is coming again. ”

The phone rang again.

Sadako grabbed the microphone. "Hey, this is the tutor service contact platform, are you ...... Oh, it's Ding Ying, I'm Ai Zhenzi, what's the matter? I'm doing it for you. You can rest assured. Have you returned to your hometown? Two or three days. Yes. Zheng Qihang is by my side, do you want to talk to him? No, okay, goodbye then. ”

Ai Zhenzi put down the microphone, "It's Ding Ying calling." ”

"I hear it. Did she say what she was going back for? I said.

"No," Ai Zhenzi Yaoyao nodded, "saying that she has something to do with her father and will take two or three days." ”

At this time, Xu Zhengping walked into the platform with a meal. The bag on his forehead was very eye-catching.

"Then you talk, I'll go to the cafeteria to eat." I looked at Xu Zhengping's bag again.

Xu Zhengping's eyes flickered.

"Zheng Qihang, you wait for me. I haven't eaten it yet. Ai Sadako said.

"What? Do you also go to the cafeteria to eat? "I was even more surprised.

"That's right. I told my mom that I was going to the cafeteria today to experience life. You see. Ai Zhenzi raised the rice bowl in her hand. She knocked the basin with a spoon.

I frowned. Everyone can see that these are all in Ai Sadako's plan.

We walked together to the cafeteria. The road leading to the cafeteria was full of people, going, coming, all holding rice bowls in their hands—all kinds of rice bowls.

By noon, the sun was already warm. We walked in the shade under the plane trees.

Some people caught a glimpse of us from a distance and whispered something. Those who are familiar with me or Ai Sadako greet us.

"I'm walking with you like this, and if many people can kill people in their eyes, I don't know how many times I've died." I say.

"Is that an exaggeration?" Ai Sadako blinked.

"The daughter of the dignified dean."

"I hate living under this aura the most."

"But this is an indelible reality. Life is very realistic, and many people are more realistic than life. I said, "They don't know that you are just as glamorous without this aura." ”

"Is that what you think?"

"That's what everyone in my class thinks."

"Thank you for the affirmation."

The people in the cafeteria are still dense. However, there are already more people going out and fewer people coming in.

I took Ai Sadako to the window to line up, eat, and then sit down at the table.

"You see life is so realistic," I said, "and the canteen steward knows you, and I wish I could cook for you personally." Let's compare, you are all meat dishes, and I am all vegetarian dishes. ”

"Hehe, I like vegetarian food." Ai Sadako said, "Let's change? ”

"I don't dare. I was seen by the steward, and scolded me, but I couldn't find a hole in the ground. I said.

"Giggles, how can it be so exaggerated. People don't bother to care about you. "Sadako Ai is very happy. After laughing, she threw the meat and fish into my rice bowl.

We had a great time. No one mentioned last night's events. In the morning, I had planned to explain something to Sadako Ai, so I didn't feel the need for it.

On the way back, we arrived at the Youth Book House. Zhu Defa, who was waiting there, reminded me of the promise to go with him to my rented place after school. Don't want me to forget about it.

Seeing us, Zhu Defa immediately threw away the unhappiness brought by waiting for me for a long time.

I told him about Ding Ying's call.

"Didn't he say why he went back?" Zhu De's question is also what I want to know.

"It was me who answered the phone. She didn't say anything, she just said it would take two or three days. Ai Sadako said.

"Something must have happened, otherwise, it wouldn't be ...... Have you noticed, Ding Ying's father is very haggard. It's like two people from the original. Zhu Defa said.

"I haven't seen Ding Ying's father before." Ai Sadako said.

"I've seen it once. is a very strong, domineering and decisive person. I said.

"How do you know so well?" Zhu Defa said.

"Because we've met once."

"That's true. Ordinary people don't look at it squarely. Zhu Defa said, "It is a completely different style from Dean Ai. You may not know that he is the principal of our regional teachers' college, and he enjoys the treatment of the prefecture. By the way, Ai Sadako, what level is your dad? ”

"I don't know." Ai Sadako said.

After Cao Shuigen came, we broke up. Since Ding Ying has returned to her hometown, there is no need for Zhu Defa to go to my rented place. I went to Chu Huoyu to get the money and Cao Shuigen went to the book market to buy books.

I took the books back to the bookstore and put all the books on the shelves, and it was past seven o'clock in the evening when I was done. After a hasty meal, I went to rent some daily necessities and a change of clothes to the library. Chu Huoyu also took care of all her things.

Then I went to the reading room to read books for an hour and a half, and when I returned to the book house at half past nine, I sent Chu Huoyu to my rented place, and then went back to the book room to wash up and sleep.

The first time I slept in the attic, I was tired, but it took me a long time to fall asleep. Street lights penetrate through the cracks in the roller shutters, removing the oppressive feeling of complete darkness. The peculiar smell of the attic was inhaled into the nose, which was left by the fire storage jade.

I thought about two things over and over again, one was why Ding Ying hurriedly returned to her hometown. If there is no mistake in inference, Ding Ying's father came to the provincial capital this time to take Ding Ying back. Ding Ying's father is so haggard, which means that something happened to her family.

The second is Ai Zhenzi's abnormal reaction. Last night, when Ding Ying said that we shared a house, Ai Zhenzi's face was so pale, which shows that Ai Zhenzi cares very much about the state of me and Ding Ying. If this inference is true, Ai Sadako should be cold to me today, and she should be very angry with me.

The actual situation is that instead of being angry with me, Ai Sadako is more "sticky" with me, cares about me more, and even creates opportunities to eat in the cafeteria with me. Why is she so "abnormal"?
