Zhan Xiaopai is the kind of girl who will automatically turn on the eye-catching mode as soon as she appears, although her figure is still a little thin but tall enough, her small face and delicate facial features always look like a good feeling, and she has been exposed to her parents' poetry and books since she was a child, creating her beautiful and dusty temperament. In addition, she is also an out-and-out academic bully, her academic performance has always ranked first in the school year, and the school committee in the class is also recognized as the school flower.

The love affair between Zhan Xiaopai and Bai Xiaoding starts with the "83 Small Group".

"83 Small Group" is the name of a mutual aid study group, which belongs to the top liberal arts class of Danbei No. 1 Middle School. Because the six team members were all born in 1983 and all have a "small" character in their names, everyone discussed taking such a name. There are six students in the small group, three men and three women, namely: Zhan Xiaopai, the head of the group, Yan Xiaose, the deputy head of the group, and Bai Xiaoding, Qian Xiaoying, Du Xiaolei and Bian Xiaoxuan.

The initiator of the small group is Yan Ziming, and "Yan Xiaose" is the nickname given to him by the students of the second class.

Yan Ziming is the only son of Yan Chenglin, the founder of Maolin Group, a well-known private enterprise in Danbei City. When he was 13 years old, Yan Ziming's biological mother Feng died, which hit him hard. At that time, his father Yan Chenglin was in the rising period of his career, and he was very busy with work, so he neglected to discipline him, so he spent the saddest time in various toys and games. Although he did not form any character defects because of this, he did not like to study, regarded learning as a chore, and believed that "playing" was the most important thing in life. By the time Lao Yan found out that his son was not motivated and began to strictly manage him, Yan Ziming had become a cynical and good at observing words and feelings.

For the sake of his son's future, after many understandings, Lao Yan used his connections and spent a large amount of "school construction fees" to arrange Yan Ziming into the top class of No. 1 Middle School, a key high school, in the first semester of high school, hoping to influence his son through the good learning atmosphere of this class and drive him to study hard. After entering the second class, because of his poor foundation, Yan Ziming was fixed as the first scumbag in the class without any suspense.

As a well-developed rich second generation, Yan Ziming is willful, righteous, and amorous, and he is also a god-level figure in the class. For example, although he is not good at learning, he has outstanding sports skills, especially good at basketball; Another example is his height of more than 180 cm, the handsome face recognized by girls, the background of a wealthy family, and his generous and unrestrained shots. In fact, a boy of his calibre will not lack fans among all precocious female high school students, and there are not a few people who usually show favor to him openly and secretly, such as Qian Xiaoying, but he has no feelings for any of these people, and there is only one Zhan Xiaopai in his eyes.

When he saw Zhan Xiaopai for the first time, Yan Ziming was shocked, and he always felt that this sister had seen her somewhere before. Before I got acquainted with the classmates in the class, I showed a "perverted look" and tried my best to get close to her, in strong contrast with the subtle and sullen style of other male classmates, which caused female students to discuss, it is said that during a recess activity, a girl said dissatisfiedly that Yan Ziming was too lustful, and she was simply a "Yan Xiaose"! So the name Yan Xiaose spread far and wide, and soon spread in the class. Yan Ziming didn't care after hearing this, he accepted it with a smile and scolding, and after ten years of school, his classmates gave him a lot of nicknames, and there was a "small" word in this nickname that was synchronized with the goddess, which made him like it a little.

In order to be able to approach Zhan Xiaopai more naturally and more frequently, Yan Xiaose racked his brains and came up with a good idea of "setting up a study group and asking classmates to help him improve his grades". At the end of the first semester of high school, that is, during the summer vacation of 1999, in addition to studying together, the students of the small group also carried out a variety of cultural and sports activities such as mountain climbing, swimming, watching ball games, karaoke and other colorful cultural and sports activities under the active drive and payment of Yan Xiaose, and the friendship between them was greatly enhanced.

The adolescent teenagers are in a period of extreme sensitivity and curiosity to the opposite sex, and the strong animal instinct makes them feel spring and love without a teacher, and the synthesis of a large amount of dopamine by hormone oxytocin makes them happy, but Yan Xiaose still doesn't know that the plank road that he has painstakingly cultivated has been taken by Bai Xiaoding in private.

The name Bai Xiaoding was given by his father Bai Changshan, which means a spur, Bai Xiaoding, Xiao Bai Ding, only hard work can become a great Hongru. And Bai Xiaoding also lived up to his father's high expectations, and gradually became a top student with hard work, and was designated by the teacher as the representative of the mathematics class after the second year of high school.

As the chief student, Xiaopai's shortcoming is mathematics, and Xiaoding, as the class representative, deserves his math results. After the establishment of the small group, Xiaopai went to Xiaoding from time to time to ask for questions, and was gradually moved by his good mathematics, the stability that surpassed his peers, and the faint melancholy between his eyebrows, and Xiaoding's good impression of Xiaopai has been a long time, so the two of them secretly got along like two single-line underground parties in the top class with strict rules and refusal of early love.

It is the consensus of everyone that early love affects students' academic performance, and the school has repeatedly ordered and parents to guard against it, for fear that there will be teenagers who do not know whether they are alive or dead and crossing the thunder pool. However, the high pressure of the taboo not only failed to stop the relationship between the two, but made the heart-pounding feelings ferment more and more intensely. The two quietly sipped the jade liquid elixir of their first love, and in the classroom, in the playground, on the way out of school, any occasion where they could see each other would become heaven because of a knowing look and a smile between each other. It can be said that it is a kind of high-purity love that can only be synthesized at the age of seventeen with feelings that do not have any utilitarian purpose, which can be met but not sought.

It is said that Zhan Xiaopai trotted all the way to the hospital, and as soon as he rushed through the door, he met Yan Xiaose, who happened to come out of the emergency building.

"Xiao Zhan Xiaopai, why are you sweating so much?" Yan Xiaose looked Zhan Xiaopai's sweaty face and sweat-soaked T-shirt up and down up and down, "You came here?" ”

Zhan Xiaopai didn't answer Yan Xiaose's question, she raised her arm and wiped the sweat on her face with her short sleeve, "How is Bai Xiaoding?" ”

"Why do you care so much about Bai Xiaoding?" Yan Xiaose's eyes flashed slyly.

"You're coming! Everyone is a classmate, do I care about what's wrong with him? Yan Xiaose's research-style gaze made Zhan Xiaopai feel very uncomfortable.

"Then I'm also your classmate, why don't you care about me?"

"You're going to faint right now, see if I care about you!"

"That's what you said!" Yan Xiaose said that she was dizzy, as if she was about to fall to the ground.

"I don't have the heart to mess with you!" Zhan Xiaopai got angry, and said that he stopped ignoring his face and walked towards the hospital.

"Okay, okay, no kidding, okay?" Yan Xiaose grabbed Zhan Xiaopai with a hippie smile, he didn't dare to offend this aunt.

"Yan Xiaose, you are always so unserious, I hate it!" Zhan Xiaopai's anger did not subside, and he raised his arm and shook off Yan Xiaose's hand.

"Look at you, there's no entertainment at all, it's not fun." Yan Xiaose pursed her lips.

"Is it good when it's time to score for fun? Everyone is in the hospital, you still have the heart to joke here, is there any humanity! ”

"I ......" Zhan Xiaopai's snatching made Yan Xiaose's face a little unbearable, and he felt aggrieved, "Yes, I have no humanity, I shouldn't have handed in the papers early and carried Bai Xiaoding to the hospital, nor should I call his father, let alone not have a serious ...... at this time."

Zhan Xiaopai was stunned when he heard this, and immediately realized that he had overspoken, indeed, if Yan Xiaose hadn't made a timely move, the consequences would have been unimaginable, now seeing his expression so relaxed, it was obvious that Xiao Ding was no longer in trouble, thinking like this, Xiao Pai's anger immediately disappeared, and he looked at him and said apologetically: "I'm sorry Yan Ziming, I took back what I just said, don't be angry, this time it's really thanks to you for sending Bai Xiaoding to the hospital in time...... Is he okay? ”

"He's fine, the doctor said he fainted because of fever, weakness and nervousness, and he can get better after two days of infusion." Zhan Xiaopai's apology made Yan Xiaose feel very comfortable, and the grievances just now were suddenly thrown out of the clouds.

"Oh......" Zhan Xiaopai breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "What about his mother?" ”

"Oh, don't mention it, Aunt Zhang woke up before she arrived at the hospital, and then she kept crying, repeatedly saying that she took care of Xiaoding, otherwise Xiaoding wouldn't have gotten sick, wouldn't have fainted in the examination room or anything, like a sister-in-law of Xianglin, and she was impatient with Uncle Bai."

"Oh," Zhan Xiaopai nodded, "What about my dad?" ”

"Uncle Zhan is going first!" Speaking of Zhan Mingyuan, Yan Xiaose's eyebrows danced, "He praised me today, saying that I was enthusiastic and chivalrous, and I was a little embarrassed to say it, I told his old man that I would make persistent efforts!" ”

Zhan Xiaopai smiled, of course she understood the ambiguity in Yan Xiaose's words, but she didn't understand, and after a pause, she asked again, "Which ward is Bai Xiaoding in?" ”

"In the third observation room, but it's not the right time for you to see him now, the doctor gave him diazepam, and he sleeps!"

"Oh......" Zhan Xiaopai looked at the hospital building and hesitated.

"Why don't I take you up and have a look?" Seeing that Zhan Xiaopai was still not giving up, Yan Xiaose proposed.

“…… Forget it, I can't go. Zhan Xiaopai actually wanted to go, but after a conversation with Yan Xiaose just now, she felt that it was better for her to be a little more reserved.

"Otherwise, Zhan Xiaopai," Yan Xiaose thought for a while, "How about we gather the people from the small group to come and see Xiaoding tomorrow?" ”

"Okay!" Pie immediately nodded in agreement. She is definitely going to visit Xiao Ding, thinking that she is a girl, and she will definitely meet his parents when she comes to see Xiao Ding, she feels embarrassed to think about it, and Xiao Se's way is justified and impeccable.

"Well, then it's decided, I'll contact Bian Xiaoxuan and Qian Xiaoying, you find Du Xiaolei, and gather at this gate at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then I'll go first, bye-bye." After Zhan Xiaopai finished speaking, he turned around to leave, but was stopped by Yan Xiaose.

"Xiaopai, the test is over now, what are you going to do?"

"What's wrong?"

"Since it's okay, can I ask you to go and relax together?" Yan Xiaose looked at her eagerly, "Let's go to the speed game hall to play games first, then have a big meal, and then go to the True Eddie Bar to jump di...... Anyway, have a good time playing him! Celebrate our escape from high school misery! What do you think? ”

"I don't want to go...... Why don't you find Xiao Xuan and them to accompany you, I'll go home. Zhan Xiaopai was depressed, scribbled his hand at Yan Xiaose, turned around and walked away.

"Don't go, what do you say? I'll be with you! Yan Xiaose didn't give up yet, and shouted behind her.

"No thanks." Zhan Xiaopai didn't look back.

Yan Xiaose pinched her waist and watched Zhan Xiaopai walk away step by step helplessly, thinking that if you don't go to play with me, then I will go by myself, and I can have a good time! Making up his mind, Yan Xiaose walked briskly to his Mercedes-Benz, opened the car door and saw his schoolbag on the seat.

"Lao Li, why are you still holding my schoolbag?" Yan Xiaose asked with a frown.

"It was Mr. Yan who asked me to hold it......" Lao Li turned around and explained.

Yan Xiaose snatched the schoolbag, walked straight to the nearest garbage can, poured the schoolbag into it fiercely, and spat into it before walking back. Lao Li followed and got out of the car and wanted to pick it up, but Yan Xiaose shouted, "If you dare to pick it up, I'll throw it in the middle of the road!" ”

Lao Li looked at the garbage bin and then at Yan Xiaose, who had a resolute expression, and gave in.

"Let's go, take me to the speed arcade." Yan Xiaose waved his hand and walked towards the car.

"Ziming, Mr. Yan has instructed ......"

"Lao Li! Do you believe it or not, let my dad fire you? As soon as Lao Li opened his mouth, he was stopped by Yan Xiaose.

"Young Master Ziming! Don't embarrass me," poor Lao Li looked embarrassed, "Mr. Yan has instructed, let me watch you and let you go home after the exam!" Can't go anywhere, especially not to the arcade! ”

"Lao Li, do you know what day it is?" Yan Xiaose raised a finger, and the expression seemed to be announcing a great event, "Today is the last day of the college entrance examination, and my last subject has been completed, this is a major historical moment, do you know what it means?" ”

Lao Li looked at Yan Xiaose in confusion.

"Today, July 9, 2001, is equivalent to October 1, 1949 in Chinese history, victory! Liberated! Turn over the serf and become the master of the house! From today, the moment I leave the exam room to be exact, I graduate and I'm no longer a student! Don't have to be controlled by those bullshit rules anymore, you know! Master Ben can go to the game hall in a dignified manner! Let's go to Di with dignity! Go wherever I want to go with dignity and no more hiding and sneaking around! I'm a free person now, which means I can go wherever I want......"

Yan Xiaose closed her eyes and opened her arms, raised her head, took a deep breath and slowly spit it out, and muttered, "Freedom...... Taste of freedom...... It's ......."

Just when Yan Xiaose was singing the praises of freedom, Zhan Xiaopai returned to the hospital. Yes, if she can't look at him, I'm afraid she won't even be able to sleep at night. Soon found the ward where Xiao Ding was, she stood up at the door, and first saw Zhang Xiulan and Bai Changshan through the glass window, they were sitting opposite each other, both with a depressed face; On the hospital bed next to her lay her Xiaoding, his eyes closed, he should be asleep. Now Pie was relieved, she gently lowered her padded heels, and quietly turned away.

The night was deep. Bai Xiaoding curled up and lay motionless on the hospital bed, looking like he was asleep from behind, but in fact, his eyes were empty and he had already woken up.

From the moment he regained consciousness, his self-blame and remorse never stopped. In fact, there were signs before this fainting, two days before the college entrance examination, he felt unwell and had a low-grade fever, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and he secretly took a few anti-inflammatory drugs. The reason why he didn't tell his mother Zhang Xiulan is because he knows her too well, if he knows that he is uncomfortable, it will be a big deal in her, and then you will wait and see, the frequent and anxious shush and warmth, and the boundless worry will not only make him feel annoyed, but also make the weak mother restless, so why bother? But I didn't expect that as soon as I took the exam, the low-grade fever developed into a high fever, so that I couldn't finish the last subject!

Why don't you faint early or late, but faint in the exam room? Even if you delay it for 40 minutes and then faint, it doesn't matter if you make yourself seriously ill! He hated his body for not being angry, and he couldn't figure out why such an unlucky thing happened to him! I only answered less than one-third of the history test paper, which means that I have lost too many points, Peking University will definitely not be able to pass the exam, and my parents are so disappointed in themselves! There is also Xiao Pi, the agreement with her has come to naught, and the brilliant flower of hope that blooms in her heart has withered......

Bai Xiaoding thought in frustration, he didn't want to talk to anyone, he didn't dare to look at his parents' faces, and after waking up, he kept his eyes closed, trying to avoid everything in vain.

Bai Changshan, who was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, actually knew that Xiao Ding was awake, but he didn't break it, just quietly accompanied him, waiting for a suitable opportunity to communicate with his son. is different from Zhang Xiulan's meticulous and considerate care for her son, as an educator, Bai Changshan is a typical strict father, and his requirements for Xiao Ding are usually strict to the extent of strictness.

A patient in the same ward let out a painful moan, and the upset Bai Xiaoding unconsciously blocked his ears with a pillow towel, Bai Changshan immediately stood up and whispered when he saw this: "You woke up Ding Ding?" Hungry, right? Come, get up and eat something, the millet porridge your mother cooked for you is fragrant. ”

"I don't want to eat ......," Bai Xiaoding's voice was filled with aggrieved crying.

"How can you do without eating? Be obedient and get up to eat. Bai Changshan tried his best to speak kindly and unquestionably. He opened a multi-layered lunch box on the bedside table and waited in his hand.

Bai Xiaoding couldn't refuse, so he could only sit up slowly. He was a good-looking boy, with long eyebrows and shapely, slender eyes hollowly drooping, a nose straight like a Greek statue, and thin lips pursed sharply. Although he was depressed and depressed at the moment, the spirituality and handsomeness of this young face were still impressive.

Taking the lunch box and spoon handed over by his father, Xiao Ding scooped up a spoonful of porridge, and before he could eat it, his nose was already sour, "Dad, I'm sorry!" I failed the exam, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for my mother......"

"Ding Ding, it's already like this, don't think about it so much, I know you want to get a good score more than anyone else, I and your mother have also seen your efforts during this time, we won't blame you, it's a big deal, let's repeat it, and take the exam again next year!" Bai Changshan comforted calmly.

The heartwarming words from Yan's father made Xiao Ding's heart more and more sour, he simply put down the lunch box, folded his arms and knees, buried his head and suppressed his voice and cried, he cried so sadly, and the people around him were also moved.

Seeing his son crying, Bai Changshan felt that his nose was a little sour, he didn't persuade him immediately, he thought that he would simply let him cry happily, and vent the negative emotions that were suppressed in his heart. After a long while, seeing that Xiao Ding turned from crying to choking, he gently patted him on the shoulder and motioned him to stop eating.
