Chapter 24 The most important person is around
In the summer of the first year of high school, Lu Li's grandmother was taken to Haicheng Hospital where Lu Li's father was located for treatment because of her health, and Lu Li stayed in Haicheng all summer vacation. I occasionally text with Lu Li, and most of the chats are about Lu Li's grandmother.
The night before school started in September, I was sitting on the sofa watching a TV series with half a watermelon in my arms, and Lu Li sent a text message: "I'm back, take my homework downstairs." ”
I excitedly bounced up from the sofa, grabbed a stack of test papers that had already been placed on the coffee table with my left hand, and went downstairs with the other half of the watermelon in my right hand.
As soon as the elevator door opened, I saw Lu Li standing at the door.
The excitement in the elevator just now immediately turned into uneasiness when I saw Lu Li, and I walked out of the elevator with a shy face, "Lu Li, you're back!" ”
Lu Li looked at me for a while and teased, "I haven't seen you for two months, and you're fat again." ”
I put away my shy expression and glared at Lu Li, "This person is really, it hurts people when we meet!" ”
Lu Li pointed to the watermelon in my arms, "One watermelon is equal to three bowls of rice." ”
I threw the watermelon into Lu Li's arms and said angrily, "This is for you and grandma." Grandma, is she well? ”
Lu Li's eyes darkened, but soon brightened again, "It's good, it's just that I'm tired from sitting in the car and I'm already asleep." Tap when you come in. ”
I followed Lu Li lightly into the living room, sat down at the coffee table, and spread out the test papers.
According to the old rules, I copy the multiple-choice questions, and he copies the big questions.
I took the Chinese test papers, and after copying the multiple-choice questions, I thought about Lu Li's learning in the next semester, and the Chinese teacher would not be so harsh, so I whispered to Lu Li: "I will help you copy all the Chinese test papers." ”
Lu Li pulled over the test paper and stopped me from putting down the pen, "I'll write it myself." ”
I looked at Lu Li with a puzzled expression.
Lu Li saw my doubts and replied, "Didn't you say that Master Yuan would read everyone's papers very seriously?" ”
I was even more puzzled, "But next semester, Master Yuan will not teach science classes. ”
Who knew that Lu Li knocked on the door of my head with a pen, "Ye Zhenzhen, your learning attitude is too improper." ”
I clutched my head and didn't react for a long time.
After the test paper was copied, it was almost ten o'clock, and I packed up the test paper and prepared to go upstairs.
Standing at the elevator entrance, I lowered my voice and said goodbye to Lu Li, who was standing at the door, "It's not early, you can rest, class will be held tomorrow." ”
Lu Li nodded and pressed the elevator for me.
I peeked at Lu Li standing next to me with my peripheral vision, even though he was wearing a simple T-shirt and shorts, with slippers and a tired face, he was still so good-looking.
But from tomorrow onwards, it will no longer be him sitting next to me. If you don't say some things now, you won't have a chance in the future.
I clenched my fists, took a deep breath, and before the elevator arrived, I said it in one fell swoop, "Lu Li, I'm glad to be at the same table with you this year, I hope you can study hard in the future, and take notes." Try not to sleep on your stomach in class, it is not good for the cervical spine. Also, don't keep a strained face, smile more, and make more friends, otherwise it's too pitiful to always be alone......"
Lu Li stood aside and looked at me quietly, without interruption or impatience.
Suddenly, he reached out and poked my forehead and smiled softly at me, "It's like we'll never see each other again." ”
The elevator clanged to remind me that it was time to go home, and I smiled and waved at Lu Li: "Goodbye!" ”
Lu Li smiled, "See you tomorrow!" ”
The elevator doors slowly closed, mercilessly isolating my gaze from the figure of the teenager.
History repeats itself, for example, on the first day of high school, I overslept again.
Walking into my new class, the second (6th) class of high school, most of the class were new faces, but there were also familiar people, such as Wang Lu, Chen Fei, Wang Ning, and the Gu family sisters and brothers who were sitting in the last row waving to me.
I walked towards them, Gu Zijin pointed to the empty seat in the front row, "Zhen Zhen, I'll help you take a seat." Old location. ”
I put down my bag, sat down, turned my head and asked, "Did you two sleep late today, why did you occupy such a back position?" ”
Gu Zipei took out the comic book from the drawer and smiled obscenely, "My sister said, sit in the back row and do things." ”
I didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned my head to look at the empty seat next to me, and sighed.
At this time, a good-looking boy came over, pointed to the empty seat next to me and asked, "Is there anyone sitting here?" ”
I shook my head and was about to answer.
A cold voice preempted me before I could speak, "There's already someone sitting here." ”
I watched in amazement as Lu Li bypassed the boy and naturally sat down in the empty seat next to me.
"Lu Li, the science class is upstairs," Gu Zijin kindly reminded Lu Li, "You went to the wrong classroom." ”
"That's right," Lu Li put his schoolbag into a drawer, "the second (6th) class of high school." ”
I finally came to my senses, "But Lu Li, didn't you choose science?" ”
Lu Li turned his head, with grievances on his face, "I don't like the physics teacher in the science class, he always likes to spit on my head." ”
Soon after we started school, my physics teacher broke two front teeth while riding a bicycle, so that I always squirted saliva from my mouth unconsciously when I spoke. But he likes Lu Li very much, and he always inadvertently walks to Lu Li's desk and stands at his desk during lectures. Several times I saw the physics teacher's big drops of saliva splashing on Lu Li's head, and Lu Li helplessly covered his head with his textbook.
"Lu Xueba, are you too willful because of this transfer text?" Gu Zipei came over and said what was in my heart.
I grabbed Lu Li's arm and couldn't wait to know the reason, "Yes, Lu Li, you say it quickly, don't sell it." ”
Seeing that I was anxious, Lu Li chuckled lightly and said unhurriedly, "You belong to a monkey, what's the hurry, I won't leave." ”
Gu Zijin laughed in the back seat and whispered in my ear: "Zhen Zhen, are you reserved?" ”
Realizing that he was a little out of shape, he hurriedly let go of the hands that grabbed Lu Li, and said duplicitously, "If you don't say it, forget it, anyway, I don't really want to know." ”
At this time, Mrs. Yuan walked in.
Gu Zipei whispered in the back seat, "No, Mrs. Yuan is our homeroom teacher, I would have written the Chinese test paper if I knew it!" ”
Mrs. Yuan served as the head teacher of our class, which was really unexpected. No wonder Lu Li insisted on doing his own Chinese test paper yesterday, it seems that he already knew.
Master Yuan cleared his throat: "I will be your class teacher from the beginning of this semester, if nothing else, I will take you in the next two years." No matter which class you came from before and who the class teacher is, in my class, I only have one request, to focus on learning in everything, and not to mess around. Especially puppy love, I don't want it to happen right under my nose. I've rearranged the seating chart, and you'll readjust the seats according to my arrangement after the class meeting. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the class gasped several times, and some people complained in a low voice.
"I'm not a primary school student, so what else do you do to arrange seats?"
"I heard from the former seniors that Teacher Yuan has many ways to torture people, so be careful."
"It's a dictatorship."
However, Mrs. Yuan ignored the gossip of her classmates and continued, "In order not to waste everyone's time, I have already drawn up the class committee for this semester based on your situation in your respective classes last year. Ye Zhenzhen is the squad leader, Lin Xiao is the deputy squad leader, Cao Yang study committee, Wang Ning life committee, Gu Zijin literature and art committee, Gu Zipei sports committee...... The class leader and the life committee members went to the bookstore after school today to buy some study support books and put them in the public corner of the class for students to study. Today's class meeting is over, everyone has changed their seats, and the class will be serious. ”
Under the command of Mrs. Yuan, we quickly adjusted our new seats. Wang Lu and I became table members, Lu Li and Chen Fei sat at the table next to me, and Wang Ning and a strange classmate sat in front of me. The Gu siblings were arranged at opposite ends of the diagonal of the classroom.
Seeing my former friends scattered around the class made me feel a little depressed. But fortunately, Lu and I were not far apart, he was sitting next to me, and I could see him as soon as I turned my head, and I could touch him as soon as I stretched out my hand.
After school, Wang Ning and I went to the bookstore near the school to buy tutoring books as instructed by Mrs. Yuan.
I picked up a copy of "The Complete Interpretation of Wang Houxiong's Textbook" from the bookshelf, and casually asked Wang Ning beside me: "Why have you changed your mind to study literature?" ”
"Anyway, my grades in arts and sciences are about the same, and everything I study is the same." Wang Ning didn't answer my question directly, but I vaguely felt that this matter had something to do with Gu Zipei.
I asked tentatively, "It can't be because of Gu Zipei, right?" ”
Wang Ning's hand holding the book trembled obviously, and then she smiled helplessly, "Gu Zipei rejected my confession before, and I hated him a lot." But then I figured out that after graduation, we would all go our separate ways, and it would be a long time to be separated. Three years of high school is so short, as long as I can be in the same space with him in the remaining two years, it can be regarded as living up to the love of my youth. ”
Wang Ning transferred to liberal arts in order to live up to the love of her youth, but what about Lu Li? Why did he study literature because he excelled in science?
Wang Ning seemed to suddenly remember something, "By the way, I met Lu Li in the office on the day I changed the subject list." He seemed to say that he wanted to play the piano in the future, so he transferred to the liberal arts class as an art student. ”
"Art students?" I was surprised.
I have been obsessed with Lu Li's academic performance, but I forgot that he plays the piano so well, and it is also a good choice to become a pianist.
Just when I was stunned, Wang Ning pointed to the cash register, "Isn't that Lu Li?" ”
I looked in the direction that Wang Ning pointed, and Lu Li was looking for something on the bookshelf with his eyebrows twisted.
"Wang Ning, have we bought it?"
"You go over and say hello to Lu Li, I'll go to the cashier to settle the bill." I'll take these books to school tomorrow. ”
I waved my hand at Wang Ning gratefully, and sneaked around Lu Li's back, intending to scare him.
I walked behind Lu Li's right and reached out and patted him on the left shoulder. Who knew that Lu Li turned his head to the right, but it scared me.
I stroked my chest weakly, "Why don't you play according to the routine, I wanted to scare you." ”
"This is called being clever and being mistaken by being smart."
After Lu Li finished speaking, he squatted down and rummaged through the books at the bottom of the bookshelf.
I also crouched down and asked curiously, "What are you looking for?" I'll help you. ”
"Xunyang Ancient Tunes", a piano score."
"Are you sure you're in this row of bookshelves?"
"The book is only available in a collector's edition, right on this row of shelves."
I looked up at the bookshelf, which read "Used Books Collection".
Lu Li and I rummaged for more than ten minutes, but we couldn't find the copy of "Xunyang Ancient Tunes", so we had to go to the cashier and ask the boss.
The boss flipped through the account book, "This sheet was bought by a piano teacher last week. ”
"And when will it be available?" I asked.
The boss shook his head, "This book is out of print, and it won't be on the market unless a collector takes it out for donation or sells." ”
Lu Li and I walked out of the bookstore, and he looked a little disappointed.
I cautiously asked, "Is that book important to you?" ”
"Well, that book was my grandfather's favorite piano sheet music, and I accidentally lost it when I moved a few years ago. I've always wanted to get it back, after all, that's what my grandfather used to cherish the most. ”
Lu Li's gaze drifted to the unknown distance, and his voice was astringent, with endless regret.
I smiled and patted Lu Li's shoulder, "It's okay, as long as you play the piano seriously and become an excellent pianist, then you are the most precious in grandpa's heart." ”
Lu Li looked at me sneeringly, opening his mouth slightly, as if I had broken the depression in his heart with a word, and the next second a smile suddenly bloomed on his face, as bright as the sun.
I like this kind of smile, just like Wang Ning said, three years is too short a time, as long as the most important person is around, it is enough.
