On the last day of August, Jiang Yang wanted to ride a bicycle to report to school, but he gave up the idea and set off on foot with Chen Yue. As they walked up the steps of the new school, they saw that the hallway of the classroom in front of them was full of people, and it was clear that they were all new students.

They walked side by side and stopped outside a closed classroom door. After a while, Jiang Yang saw from a group of unfamiliar faces that he hadn't seen in elementary school for three years. He touched Chen Yue's arm, and Chen Yue immediately reacted and saw the classmate. The two thought about whether to go up to say hello and recognize their old acquaintances. The classmate was squatting on the steps of the classroom corridor not far from them, dressed in black all over his body, with a black collar, black jeans, and black hair that matched his black face. I have to say that he was one of the people Chen Yue was most afraid of when he was in elementary school. Wild and bad-tempered. At that time, Jiang Yang had somersaulted with him on the playground more than once. Jiang Yang was very reluctant to greet him from the bottom of his heart, but despite this, when their teacher opened the classroom door of the class and passed by him, Jiang Yang still raised his hand cautiously and softly said hello, "Yo, Xiao Yu Lei, long time no see, everything is okay?" "The classmate is not surnamed Xiao, but complains that there were two people named Yu Lei in the class at that time, and he was ranked second by the teacher. Now, Jiang Yang called him like this, which really surprised the classmate. He jumped up and shouted, "Oh! Jiang Yang, good boy! You're here too. As he spoke, the classmate raised his arm and put it on Jiang Yang's shoulder. Jiang Yang felt very uncomfortable.

"Why did you come to this school?" The classmate asked without any other meaning.

Jiang Yang shrugged his shoulders and replied, "If you don't come here, where else can you come?" They entered the classroom together. Chen Yue stopped outside the door, he had his own classroom. He didn't walk away immediately, and quietly stood in the corridor and looked into Jiang Yang's classroom, worried that Jiang Yang and that classmate would make a fuss as soon as they met. As a result, he swallowed deeply, and Xiao Yu Lei walked away from Jiang Yang's side. So he turned around and went back to his new class.

The head teacher stepped onto the podium and clapped his hands, and the classroom was unexpectedly silent. "It's a class! All those who have less than 200 points and no points go to the second class, upstairs. She spoke in a commanding tone, but her voice was very kind.

At this time, Jiang Yang found out that the group of thugs had all been driven out. It turned out that they were not in the same class - he and his elementary school classmates. There were fewer students in the class, and they were selected from the initial mix, and there were about 30 people left.

The head teacher instructed everyone to find a seat and sit down. Jiang Yang was in the last row on the right against the wall, and he wanted to sit further forward, but the seat was already full.

"Come and come with a few people to the office to pick up the book." The head teacher said aloud, stepped off the podium, and gestured out the door. There was a whisper in the classroom, but not a single student stood up. "Hey, someone's coming?" The head teacher shouted again. Still no movement.

Jiang Yang sat in the back row, and after hearing the benevolent new homeroom teacher's request, he felt unable to sit still, thinking that if one of his classmates stood up, he would follow him to help. After the head teacher's third request was called, no one made a statement. Jiang Yang pressed his hands on the table, stood up, turned around and walked out of the class through the back door, and then walked through the classroom corridor to the front door to meet the new head teacher. The head teacher smiled at him, and then shouted at the class again: "Is it good to have a few more people, why can't young people even move books now?" ”

Jiang Yang's appearance had a good effect, and three boys came from their seats.

"Oh! Jiang Zhitao, you are also here. Among the three boys, there were old friends from Jiangyang's junior high school. He looked pleased.

"Jiangyang." The old friend replied, and he suddenly felt lucky to have someone familiar to talk to in class.

The encounter with this old junior high school friend was completely expected in Jiang Yang, unless his family wanted to give up his studies. He listened to Jiang Zhitao say a series of sarcastic remarks, and then he said that he was very lucky to spend a high school with him.

What they didn't expect was that when they went back and forth three times and put all the textbooks on the podium and distributed them, they met another junior high school classmate. It was Zhang Pingping, who was sitting in the right-side aisle seat in the penultimate row of the middle group, and she saw Jiang Yang and Jiang Zhitao enter the class at the same time with their books in their hands, and she kept staring at them until they returned to their seats. When they looked at her too, she smiled and hurried back.

"Alright, classmates." The head teacher walked up to the podium and clapped his hands, and said, "I will be your head teacher from now on." How so? It is rare for everyone to get together here, and I hope everyone can get along in harmony and make progress together. She introduced herself briefly, "My surname is Sun." As she spoke, she picked up the chalk and wrote a character on the blackboard. Then she began to speak at length, picking up the list and telling the people whose names were called to stand up and shout.

After doing these things, she said, "There are so many of you students, I only got to know you briefly. I don't know what you're good at, so let's introduce yourself. ”

The faces below showed dissatisfaction, and everyone refused to come on stage to show their foreign appearances.

"Okay, just write it out, write it down on paper, and that's all right." The head teacher pleaded.

Jiang Yang was writing with a pen, and the same table leaned over at this time and watched him write. He turned his head curiously to stare into the eyes of his strange classmates.

"How do you write this?" The tablemate smiled and pretended to be enthusiastic and said, "You can borrow it from me to copy it after you have written it." ”

Jiang Yang handed him the self-introduction he had written, and then looked at the new tablemate: there was a brown curly hair, which looked like a mess, not a natural curl, and even less like a barber's creation. His face was reddish and he had a birthmark on the bottom of his neck. The arm was strong and strong, and the muscles in the arm were throbbing convexly as he was writing.

In fact, Jiang Yang only wrote two sentences, but the same table kept laughing when he looked at his paper, and finally imitated and wrote two sentences. After everyone handed over the self-introduction to the class teacher, the class teacher said a lot about the beginning of the school year. At half past ten, she announced the end of the class meeting, asking everyone to pay attention to safety on the way home.

"You go first, I'll wait for the others." Jiang Yang and Jiang Zhitao said as they parted in the corridor. Next, he began to look for Chen Yue's class, he stared out the window of the next class, but did not find Chen Yue. So, he walked through this classroom and stopped in front of the door of the other. Through the open door, he saw Chen Yue at a glance, sitting in the second row, but it can be said that it is the last row, because there are only four students in the class, two in the front and two in the middle seat. What's even more incredible to Jiang Yang is that Chen Yue's three classmates are all girls, and they seem to be quite handsome.

He put the textbook on the windowsill and waited. After about ten minutes, the teacher in the classroom walked out. The two children walked home together. Going down the long steps of the school, Jiang Yang couldn't help but say, "There are so few people in your class, plus you only have four?" ”

"Well, just four. It's not like your class, but it's still a class. Chen Yue replied with a wry smile.

Jiang Yang laughed, and after a while, he continued: "It's okay, and my class is not much better." Also, Jiang Zhitao and Zhang Pingping are also in our class. ”

"Oh? Both of them are here, too. ”

"Yes, you'll come and see it tomorrow when you have a chance."

"Okay."

They came down the steps, and Chen Yue suddenly stopped, stretched out her hand and pointed to the road below. Jiang Yang was stunned, Zhang Pingping, who was sitting in front of him in junior high school, was standing on the road under the steps, and she cast a curious look at them. They immediately shut up and slowly approached her. After getting down the steps, Zhang Pingping opened her mouth first and asked, "Hey?" Chen Yue, why are you here? ”

Chen Yue was very reluctant to answer this question, but he still replied in time: "I will be in high school here in the future." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Pingping's eyes widened and stared at Chen Yue, not hiding the surprise in her heart. "Why?" She asked. But she was wondering in her heart: Is it to be able to study with Jiang Yang?

"Because I failed in the high school entrance examination."

"Oh? How much did you take the test? After listening to Chen Yue's words, Zhang Pingping walked over with great interest and looked at him. At this time, Chen Yue did not continue, but quietly glanced at Jiang Yang.

"Really, it's all over, why do you still mention that?" Jiang Yang said.

"How much did you get?" Zhang Pingping's curiosity intensified.

"Three hundred and nineteen..."Chen Yuegang replied, Jiang Yang immediately interjected, "I got higher than me, I got worse in the exam!" ”

Zhang Pingping tried her best to stay calm, but she found that she couldn't accept this fact at all, she gasped slightly and said in surprise: "319-Chen Yue, you only took the 319 exam?" ”

"Yes."

Now, Jiang Yang could see from Zhang Pingping's eyes, guessing what she was going to ask next, he said in a timely and cold manner: "What's wrong with 319 points?" At today's class meeting, the teacher also told us that there is no need to be discouraged, this is a new starting point. As long as we work hard in the future, we can still be an excellent student. You tell me? ”

Zhang Pingping realized that she shouldn't continue to ask, Jiang Yang's words were a reminder to her: say less. She nodded knowingly in agreement.

The three walked out of the new school gate side by side. Zhang Pingping separated from them because the direction of her home was exactly the opposite of theirs. They simply waved their hands and turned to leave. Zhang Pingping stood still and watched them walk away until they were far away and disappeared on a winding road. She was still thinking about Chen Yue's score in the middle school entrance examination, and until now, she still couldn't believe that he had such a low score despite being at the top of his grades. She thought that Chen Yue deliberately hid from her that she had a low score in the exam, so as to make up a reason to go to school with his good friend.

Back home, the mothers of both families anxiously asked about their new school. They were all very excited to say it one by one.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yang pushed his bicycle past the door of Chen Yue's house, and Chen Yue squatted on the concrete floor outside the door, obviously waiting for him to go out to play. "I'm sorry, I've got something to do in the afternoon." Jiang Yang put his foot on the bicycle and said. Chen Yue nodded in understanding.

Near Gu Ling's house, Jiang Yang stopped the car. He waited for a long time, but the door did not move, which made him impatient, and he could not understand whether she was at home or at school at this time. But he had to figure it out, otherwise it would be a waste of time to keep waiting. He was planning whether to knock on the door and ask. He waited quietly for another half hour. In the end, he couldn't help but step forward and walk to the stone slab in front of Gu Ling's house, he carefully squinted one eye and looked into the crack in the door, but he couldn't see anything. Suddenly, he heard the sound of slippers rubbing heavily on the floor. He stepped back quickly, and the door opened.

"Huh?" When Gu Ling's mother opened the door, she saw a boy walking around in front of her house. Jiang Yang didn't speak, turned around and smiled at his mother and nodded, as a sign of politeness.

"Who are you?" Mother asked, subconsciously feeling that this person was somewhat familiar, as if they had met, but she couldn't remember it.

Since his mother had already asked, he looked into his mother's eyes and thought for a while, and then replied, "I'm classmate Gu Ling." Then he asked, "Is she at home?" ”

"Not there." Mother shook her head and said.

"Then I'm leaving..."Jiang Yang looked very calm, and gently stepped on the bicycle and slipped away.

Although he knew that Gu Ling was not at home, when Jiang Yang waited at the gate of No. 4 Middle School for 1 hour, he felt a little unreliable. "Did she really come to school? If she hadn't come to school, where would she have gone? He pondered. For the next 1 hour, he still didn't see Gu Ling coming out of school, so he thought again: "Will you go out to play, not at school?" He rode the car forward for a while, and from here, he could see the No. 4 Middle School teaching building not far away. At the back of the teaching building, he clearly saw the classroom windows next to each other, was Gu Ling in one of the windows? He waited all afternoon and didn't leave. At about 5 o'clock in the evening, a large number of students walked out, and at this time, Jiang Yang pushed the car to the wall of the school, and his eyes widened, for fear of losing Gu Ling.

"Hey!" Finally, he saw her and shouted at her. Gu Ling was walking not far away, and when he heard a familiar shout, he turned his face to look over. In an instant, she felt very surprised and surprised. Walk quickly to Jiang Yang's side. "Jiangyang! It's you. ”

"Hmm."

"I'm sorry I didn't see you just now."

"It's okay, it's very inconspicuous here, it's normal not to see it."

Now, he looked at her and felt that she had grown taller, but the face that had made his heart pound had not changed, it was still so fascinated, and even more beautiful.

"How's the new class?" Jiang Yang asked.

"Fortunately, I changed classrooms, classmates and teachers, and I didn't adapt to it for a while."

"Don't worry, after a long time, you will get used to it."

Time can make a person get used to anything.

"Maybe."

Jiang Yang held the handlebars on both ends of the bicycle with both hands, which immediately attracted Gu Ling's attention. "You're coming by bike?" She asked excitedly.

"Yes, do you like it?"

"Oh! Like like, can you let me take a look? ”

"Absolutely." Jiang Yang let go of his hand.

One moment she touched the cushion, the next she looked down at the hanging wheel, and the next she pushed forward. "That's interesting." She shouted.

"Turn the front of the car around, home is over here."

Gu Ling complied. "You can ride?" She pushed the cart back and asked.

"Yes! Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought it out. ”

"You ride and show me."

"Okay, I'll take you, you sit in the back." Jiang Yang said in a pleading tone, but the drum was beating in his heart: would she agree.

"That's good!" Gu Ling happily agreed immediately.

It's the first time he's brought someone, and when his sister asked him to take her, he directly refused: I won't take someone. But today, he didn't shirk it, and when Gu Ling sat down from the back seat, the body was upside down, and it didn't seem to be very stable. However, Jiang Yang relied on the riding skills he learned and was very happy and excited, and successfully rode the bike onto the street.

"Oh! It's like flying. Gu Ling cheered. Hurry up, hurry up. Gu Ling shouted.

Happy to be happy, Jiang Yang felt that he should be reminded, "No matter how fast it is, it is very dangerous, safety first." ”

"Well, slow down, then."

A downhill road obviously scared Gu Ling, and she had been shouting fast just now, but now she hurriedly shouted slowly.

"It's too dangerous." After getting off the ramp, Gu Ling patted his chest and said. It is said that cyclists are not afraid, but those who sit in the back are afraid, and this is really a fulfillment.

After a while, they arrived at the path leading to Gu Ling's village. "That's all here?" Gu Ling asked in surprise.

"Isn't it fast?"

"It's too fast! It's so fast! She looked at her watch, "Oh! I was home in less than ten minutes. ”

In the face of Gu Ling's excitement, Jiang Yang had expected it, which made him very satisfied.

"Huh? Didn't the school send out books? Jiang Yang realized that she didn't have a book in her hand and asked.

"It was sent in the morning, if only you came in the morning, there are a lot of books."

"No way, I have a class meeting in the morning, otherwise, I'll come."

His answer made Gu Ling immediately ask him, "Which school are you in?" ”

"Five."

"Five? Where is it? "Gu Ling has never heard of this school.

"Foundry, you know what? It's over there. ”

Gu Ling shook his head and changed the topic, "Tomorrow will be the official class." ”

"Yes."

"That's the same with me."

A middle-aged man came out of the house on the side of the road and put the garbage bag in his hand by the door. When he looked up, he saw two children walking this way. He recognized one of them as the daughter of a neighbor in the village. He stood by the door, quietly watching the boy pushing the bicycle, and the two passed by his door, chatting passionately and unabashedly.

"Hurry up." Gu Ling noticed that someone was staring at her and whispered to Jiang Yang.

After walking a distance, Jiang Yang asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just an acquaintance, it's not good to be seen by him."

"That guy just now?"

"Well, it's annoying to be watching us." Gu Ling said happily, however, when Jiang Yang sent her to the door of the house and was about to leave, she got a surprise. "Tomorrow, I'll be waiting for you at the intersection." Jiang Yang said.

"Wait for me? Why? ”

Jiang Yang hesitated for a moment, then plucked up the courage to continue, "I'll send you to school." Gu Ling lowered his head, and he was very happy in his heart. She also cheered up and responded, "Okay." ”

"Well, that's settled, I'll be waiting for you at the intersection of the village." Because Gu Ling said just now that it would be bad to be seen by acquaintances, he decided not to enter the village.

"Okay." Gu Ling raised his slightly flushed face.

"Bye-bye."

"yes, bye."

Jiang Yang watched Gu Ling open the door, and after entering the house, he rode his bicycle and left. When he rode back, he found that the man Gu Ling mentioned just now was still standing in front of his door, and when he got closer, he found that the man was staring at him with malicious intent. He ignored the man's eyes and sped up.

"Hey! Which one are you? The man waited for him to pass by, and shouted violently.

The car had already ridden over, but Jiang Yang still habitually braked the car and looked back at the man in confusion. When the man approached him, and when he did not answer, he shouted, "I ask you!"

"What do you ask me?" Jiang Yang asked as politely as he could.

"Which one are you? What are you doing here? How did you know that little girl? ”

The man's every word was full of intimidation. Jiang Yang began to think about the meaning of this strange man's question, which was enough to be a father. What exactly does he want out of these questions?

"I'm her classmate." Jiang Yang replied truthfully.

"High school?"

"Junior high school."

"How's your grades?"

"Not good."

"How old?"

“16。”

"Where do you live?"

"Why are you asking me this?"

The man ignored him and continued to ask, "How much did you buy this car?" ”

“50。”

After asking these questions, the man looked at Jiang Yang silently from top to bottom, and then walked away without a sound.

On the first day of high school, Jiang Yang was in a particularly comfortable mood. In the morning, after eating the porridge prepared by his mother, he returned to his room to look at the alarm clock and arrange his schoolbag in advance. His bicycle was parked in the hallway at the same level as his father's, but his father left early, so when he went to school in the morning, only his own car was parked in the hallway. When he pushed the cart into the courtyard and faced the gate, he found that Chen Yue was already waiting for him outside the door. He pushed the door open.

"It's early." Jiang Yang said.

"Morning! Cycling to school? ”

"Yes, I'll ride there in the future."

"That's great, take me with you."

Hearing Chen Yue's request, Jiang Yang felt very embarrassed, because the bicycle was not prepared for him, "Oh! No, no, no, listen to me. He embarrassedly put his mouth to Chen Yue's ear, and then whispered, "I'm going to send Gu Ling." ”

"You see her." Chen Yue shouted.

"Yes, yesterday."

"Alright then, it looks like we won't be able to go to school together in the future."

They walked side by side in the alley, Jiang Yang did not get on the car, but slowly pushed the car while talking to Chen Yue. "It's okay." Jiang Yang stretched out his hand and patted Chen Yue on the shoulder, "Although there is no chance to go to school, we can go together after school, and I will ride you on a bicycle." ”

"Really?" Chen Yue immediately asked.

"Really!" Jiang Yang affirmed.

They walked onto the road leading to the street, "Then I'll go first." Jiang Yang rode away against the wind.

When Gu Ling came over, he saw Jiang Yang sitting on a bicycle waiting for her, "Jiang Yang." She shouted in time and ran over, "I didn't expect you to really be waiting for me." Gu Ling said.

"What is this, I have always done what I said. Let's get in the car. ”

Gu Ling grinned and sat in the back seat. Since both of them were carrying schoolbags today, Jiang Yang was obviously struggling to ride, but he didn't show it.

"I'll tell you something." After riding on the street for a while, Gu Ling said.

"Say it."

"Yesterday I was scolded by my mother."

"Why?" The speed of the car slowed down significantly.

"It's not because the people in the village gossip and come to my house that a boy always stays next to me." As soon as Gu Ling's words were finished, Jiang Yang suddenly understood what the man said yesterday, could it be that at that time, he was testing him? Just to know if he really knows Gu Ling?

"Is it the man we saw yesterday?"

"Yes, it's him, my mother's colleague."

"Your mom didn't beat you, did she?"

"It's not true, it's just too annoying."

The adults' worries are right, daughters shouldn't have boys who don't make mistakes. The children's minds are one-sided, innocent, and kind, after all, they have not experienced all kinds of tragedies and disappointments in society. Jiang Yang understands the family's hard work, but Gu Ling's parents are safe, and they should feel lucky; Because he is not the prodigal boy they imagined, he really wants to tell Gu Ling's parents: Your daughter is very secure with me. But he imagined that if there really was a day when he was in front of his parents, he might not be able to speak, and even if he did, it would only be in vain; They have their own opinions. But he had no right to educate them with words. He knew that very well.

Riding past a bridge, Jiang Yang drove the bike as slowly as possible, and then raised a hand and pointed upward, "Look at this bridge, Gu Ling." My school passed from this bridge. ”

"Oh, not far away?"

"It's not far, but it's farther than No. 4 Middle School."

When he arrived at the uphill of the road to No. 4 Middle School, Jiang Yang pedaled hard, and after riding half of the uphill distance, the car was so slow that it was about to stop, and Jiang Yang almost felt a little unable to ride.

"If I can't ride up, I'll get down and walk." Gu Ling said worriedly behind him.

"It's okay, I'll go up right away."

Jiang Yang stood up from the cushion, borrowed the weight of his body, and stepped down hard. Eventually, the persistence led to the uphill ride. Gu Xin was behind him, but he kept paying attention to his every move. When he took her uphill, she was moved.

"Why don't you come to school at noon?" After Jiang Yang sent Gu Ling to school, he asked her.

"Huh? That's embarrassing. Gu Ling replied, "Even if it's noon, you're tired." ”

"It's okay, I'm not tired at all." Jiang Yang immediately said easily: "Yes, I'm not tired at all, just say it." What time do you have classes in the afternoon? ”

"Uh..."Gu Ling hesitated for a moment and told him, "2:40." ”

"Great! Like me, let's meet at the intersection around 2:10 a.m. ”

"Okay." Gu Ling replied shyly.

Every day in the future, Jiang Yang would always wait for her at the intersection in advance. Perseverance, in the end, Jiang Yang developed such a habit, and Gu Ling also thought that someone would always pick her up. Although the two children are not in the same school and cannot talk in the same class as before, it seems that they can still meet each other every day and always have a happy chat for a while.
