I ordered a comprehensive workbook for the year period, and each person needed to pay 20 yuan for the book, and Mrs. Yuan handed over the task of collecting money to me.

When I was a child, I didn't like to deal with money, especially money and bookkeeping.

I counted the books I had collected so far, "870, 860, 890..... hey, there is still one person who has not paid." ”

Wang Lu put two crumpled ten yuan in front of me and said in a low voice, "Zhenzhen, this is my money." ”

"Okay," I flattened the two pieces of money, and carefully put the money into the envelope bag together with the money I had collected before, "plus yours, it will be just collected, clip it into the Chinese textbook, and give it directly to Mrs. Yuan before class tomorrow." ”

I casually flipped a page, and it was Liu Yong's "Yu Linglin" that I learned today, so I put the envelope in it.

After putting away the books, I turned my head and asked Wang Lu, "Lulu, do you have anything to do after school?" ”

Wang Lu shook her head slightly, "It's okay, what's wrong?" ”

"Stay with me to the video store near the school, I want to pick a birthday present for someone, you can help me come up with an idea."

Wang Lu was a little surprised, "You, why don't you ask Gu Zijin and them to accompany you?" I, I've never picked a gift, and I probably can't give you good advice. ”

Last semester, I asked Zhang Long about Wang Lu's family situation in private, and learned that Wang Lu's father died of illness when she was very young, and her mother sold her hometown land to rent a house in the city in order to give Wang Lu a good education, and supported her family by doing handymen. But perhaps because of family reasons, Wang Lu is very introverted and has low self-esteem.

As a class leader, I should give her more help and care, and becoming good friends with her may be the first step to opening her heart.

I gently took her hand, "It's okay, we've never gone shopping together yet." ”

Wang Lu smiled a little dazed, and then nodded heavily, "Okay." ”

Wang Lu stood in front of the shelves with the tapes and looked at the tapes, her eyes showed childlike joy, and she said to herself, "I have heard the songs in this tape, and my sister next door liked to listen to them when I was a child, and I have always wanted to buy and collect the ......"

I picked up the tape of "I'm Crazy for Songs" that Wang Lu had been staring at, "Lulu, do you like watching this?" ”

Wang Lu nodded, her expression became no longer calm, "I like it, I like it very much, it's very good-looking!" Do you like it too? ”

The first time I saw Wang Lu's mood so high, I became excited as if I had opened a secret passage to her heart. Although I haven't watched "I'm Crazy About Songs", I can't bear to be disappointed, so I pretend to find a like-minded person, "I also like to watch it." ”

"And who do you like?"

Wang Lu really asked me this question, and I rolled my eyes, "I, I like them all." Afraid of revealing the stuffing, I threw the question back to Wang Lu, "What about you, who do you like the most?" ”

"I, I like Ye Feng. I like the gentleness when he plays the guitar, the concentration he pays when he writes songs, and the confidence he exudes, it would be better if he could feel Mai Yunjie's love for him....."

I was in a trance, and I always felt that what Wang Lu said was not Ye Feng, but more like-Lu Li!

Seeing me staring at her, Wang Lu's face flushed, and she lowered her head embarrassedly.

I dismissed the thought in my head, "Since you like it so much, I'll buy it for you." I haven't given you a gift yet. ”

Wang Lu waved his hand, put the tape back on the shelf, and said embarrassedly: "No need, me, I don't have a tape recorder at home." ”

I was no longer reluctant, and pulled Wang Lu to the counter of the headphones.

I picked up a headset and said, "Lulu, do you think these headphones look good?" ”

Wang Lu nodded, "It's good-looking." ”

"So what color do you think I should buy?"

"Are you going to give it to a boy or a girl?"

I hesitated for a moment, and decided not to give it to Lu Li, "Boy, he's going to have a birthday." ”

But Wang Lu was very sensitive, and she asked cautiously, "Is it for Lu Li?" ”

Wang Lu likes Lu Li, but I pulled her to accompany me to pick out a birthday gift for Lu Li. This feeling of being recognized is as embarrassing as being bumped into in an underground relationship, "Yes, yes." ”

Wang Lu chuckled and pointed to the white earphones, "White, clean and pure." ”

I asked the clerk to take the white headphones and try the sound, and sure enough, it was very good.

"Lulu, you have such a good eye. Lu Li should like it. ”

"Zhen Zhen, I'm really jealous of you, you have so many good friends, and you can be friends with Lu Li." Wang Lu suddenly said something like this without a head.

For a moment, I saw a strange light in Wang Lu's eyes, but it quickly disappeared again, and I thought I should be dazzled.

"We're also your friends," I naturally took Wang Lu's hand, "Let's go, let's go pay." ”

Wang Lu nodded slightly, but smiled a little erratically.

Passing by a row of glass cabinets, Wang Lu suddenly stopped, staring at a music box in a daze. It was a music box in the shape of a grand piano, and in the corner of the piano stood a long-haired girl in a pink tutu, slowly spinning to the melody.

Wang Lu stretched out her index finger and wanted to touch the spinning dancer, but when she was about to touch it, she withdrew her hand, "It's so beautiful." ”

"I don't know if Lu Li prefers headphones or music boxes?" I glanced at the price and was so frightened by the number on the price tag that I whispered, "That's expensive, enough for me to buy two headphones." ”

I pulled Wang Lu to the cash register and paid for the headphones, but I saw that Wang Lu was still looking at the music box stupidly.

Walking out of the video store, I said to Wang Lu, who was still in a haunted mood, "Lulu, I forgot to issue an invoice just now, why don't you go back first, thank you today." ”

Wang Lu waved his hand, "No thanks, then, see you tomorrow." ”

When Wang Lu was far away, I returned to the video store, walked to the shelf and picked up the tape of "I'm Crazy for Songs", although I couldn't afford to give away the music box, but to give Wang Lu this tape, she should be very happy.

In the last Chinese class the next afternoon, Mrs. Yuan asked me to hand over the collected book fees to her. I opened the language book, only to find that the envelope that had been inside was missing. I rummaged through my bag again, but I still couldn't find the envelope that contained the money.

Wang Ning turned around and knocked on my desk, "Zhenzhen, what are you doing?" The teacher tells you to take your book money. ”

I stood up with a sad face, "Teacher, the book fee seems to be, it seems, it's gone." ”

Yuan Shitai was originally not very kind, but she frowned at this time, like the extermination Shitai in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer".

"Have you looked for it? Did you forget it at home? "Although Master Yuan's tone was calm, I felt extremely majestic.

I'm sure I didn't leave it at home because I checked my bag before heading out this morning. But I didn't dare to argue, so I lowered my head and replied, "I, I'll look for it when I go home." ”

"If I can't find it at home, it means that there is a thief in my class, and I have to report it to the school, and I hope that the students who have done something wrong can find out as soon as possible. Let's start with the lesson. ”

After school, I poured the books in my bag on my desk and flipped through the pages.

Gu Zijin and the others surrounded them.

"Zhenzhen, did you really forget at home?" Gu Zipei looked at me worriedly.

"I'm sure I'm not at home, and I checked my bag before I went out." I replied with great firmness.

Gu Zijin picked up my schoolbag and turned it up and down, "Could it be that the schoolbag is broken somewhere and falls out." ”

"No way, my bag isn't broken."

"That might be in the book, we'll help you find it." Wang Ning picked up the math book and shook it.

"I slipped the envelope bag of money into my language textbook yesterday," I said, turning my head, "Lulu, right?" ”

Wang Lu seemed to be thinking about something, and I suddenly called her, but she was startled.

Her face turned a little pale, "Yes, yes, Zhen Zhen put the envelope in the Chinese textbook, and it was sandwiched on the page of "Slow Voice" today. ”

"Slow Voice"?

Something suddenly flashed through my mind, as if something was wrong but I couldn't grasp it.

"Since it's sure it's not at home, it's been stolen." Lu Li stood beside him and spit out a sentence coldly.

"Stolen?" Several of us looked at Lu Li in surprise at the same time.

"Yes, the most likely time for a thief to commit a crime is during recess time in the morning, or gym class in the afternoon. There was no one in the class during these two times. Lu Li calmly analyzed.

"Recess exercise, I was in the classroom to make a board report, there were two people with me at the time, we were all under our own noses, if you want to go to Zhen Zhen's desk to get something, someone will definitely see it." Gu Zijin said.

"That is, the thief committed the crime in gym class." Gu Zipei's tone carried an inexplicable excitement.

Gu Zijin glared at Gu Zipei and said, "Then we have to figure out who is the last to leave the classroom in physical education class, or who is the first to return to the classroom." ”

Wang Ning slowly raised her hand, "I, I'm the last to leave, because I usually don't lock the door in physical education class, and I cover the front and back doors after I go out." But I'm definitely not a thief. ”

I smiled at Wang Ning, signaled that I believed her, turned my head and asked Wang Lu again, "Lulu, it seems that you went back to the classroom very early after physical education class, did you find anything?" ”

Wang Lu lowered her head and kept rubbing the corners of her clothes with both hands, "No, no, there were already several people in the class when I came back." ”

The clue was interrupted, everyone was disappointed, and no one spoke again for a while.

I put my textbooks in my school bag and comforted them and comforted myself, "Don't worry about me, everyone. If, if I can't get the money back, I'll borrow it from my father, and there is no way out, and it can always be solved. ”

Gu Zijin patted me on the shoulder and sighed, "Zhenzhen, a few of us will help you." ”

Wang Ning said righteously: "I can borrow the New Year's money I saved for the New Year." ”

Gu Zipei also looked serious, "Yes, yes, I'll give you all the money to buy game equipment." ”

My nose was sore, and my heart was full of warmth.

I rubbed the tip of my nose and smiled thanks, "Thank you." ”

On the way home, I kept thinking about what Wang Lu said and her strange look today.

Lu Li saw that I was absent-minded all the way, and couldn't help asking, "Still thinking about money?" ”

"Lu Li, there's a strange thing, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"Huh?"

"Yesterday I put the envelope containing the money on the page of "Rain Linglin", and I took it out when I got home last night, and then sandwiched it on the page of "Slow Voice". But today I haven't taken out the language, and I haven't said it to others, but Wang Lu said......"

Yesterday I went back to the video store to buy a cassette tape, because I had run out of money to buy headphones, so I took a little money from the book fee to pad it. When I got home, I immediately made up the money, thinking that the next day would be "Slow Voice", so I clipped the envelope in by the way.

"So, why did Wang Lu know that you put the envelope in a different place last night, because she touched your language book, or it can be said that she stole the money." Lu Li said the possibility that I didn't want to delve into it.

I was a little sad, and I shook my head when Wang Lu stood in the dilapidated yard of her house with her back to me that day, and I shook my head, "I am friends with Wang Lu, maybe, maybe I was mistaken." ”

Lu Li saw the entanglement in my heart, he suddenly stopped, turned around, stood face to face with me, and said to me seriously, "Don't think about it, I'll help you, leave it to me." ”
