I didn't get a good night's sleep because of the loss of my book money. In the morning, I walked on the way to school with a dizzy head, and met the Gu family sisters and brothers downstairs in the teaching building.

Gu Zipei pointed to the heavy dark circles on my face and asked, "Zhen Zhen, did you go to be a thief last night?" ”

Gu Zijin slapped Gu Zipei's skull, "Which pot is not opened, which pot is stupid." ”

I looked at Gu Zipei's pitiful appearance, waved my hand and said, "It's okay, I just thought about things last night and had insomnia." ”

On the way to the classroom, the Gu family sisters and brothers took turns to comfort me, and I was in a better mood after being depressed for a long time.

The three of us walked into the classroom through the back door, and when we all saw me come in, we all bowed our heads and whispered in twos and threes, and looked up at me with strange eyes from time to time.

"Who the did this, you have the ability to rush to Lao Tzu."

Gu Zipei suddenly threw off the schoolbag in his hand, scolded and rushed to the podium, smearing the blackboard with both hands.

Only then did I see that on the blackboard in front of the classroom, there were six big words written in red chalk - "Ye Zhenzhen is a thief".

Gu Zijin also threw off his schoolbag and ran to the podium to help Gu Zipei wipe the blackboard together.

I stood there in a daze, the whispers in the class quickly turned into unconcealed speculation, in the noise, I couldn't hear the distant classmates talking clearly, but the ridicule around me could be heard clearly-

"After school the evening before yesterday, I saw Ye Zhenzhen buy a headset in the video store, and the headset is new and precious."

"She must have secretly used our money, and when she found that she couldn't fill it back, she lied and lost the class fee."

"Isn't this just a self-theft?"

"Such a person is not worthy of ......"

Suddenly, a tall figure stood in front of me, and someone covered my ears with both hands, blocking out the gossip and contemptuous glances in time.

"Don't listen."

I raised my head, the tears that had been rolling in my eyes finally couldn't help falling after seeing Lu Li, I opened my mouth sneeringly, I didn't know what to say, but I couldn't help but want to call his name.

"Lu Li......"

Lu Li frowned, put down the hand covering my ear, paused at my cheek for a few seconds, and when I thought he was going to help me wipe my tears, he lowered his hands again, "Wipe your tears, let's go to Mrs. Yuan's office." ”

In the office, Mrs. Yuan listened to me tell the whole story with a blank face, "So you think someone sneaked into the class during physical education class and stole the book fee?" ”

Master Yuan's face was too serious, even if I didn't do anything wrong, I still didn't dare to look at her, so I had to lower my head, "Yes, physical education class is the best time for thieves to commit crimes." ”

"In this case, this matter can only be reported to the school first, and the school can investigate. I'll call the Security Section first. ”

Mrs. Yuan picked up the landline and was about to make a call, but Lu Li stopped him in time, "Mr. Yuan, I have a way to find out the thief." ”

Mrs. Yuan put down the microphone and looked at Lu Li in disbelief.

"You can bring up the monitoring of the classroom that day."

There is surveillance in the classroom, why didn't I think of this method, Lu Li is so smart, I can't help but cast a look of adoration at Lu Li.

But Mrs. Yuan shook her head, "The monitoring in the classroom is only turned on during the exam, and it is usually just a decoration. ”

Lu Li thought for a while, and said calmly: "We just need to let the thief think that the surveillance is on." ”

According to Lu Li's method, Mrs. Yuan revealed the information that the thief had been investigated through the monitor, "I hope that the students who took the book money will come to my office in person after school tonight to explain clearly, and I can consider not reporting to the school." ”

As soon as Mrs. Yuan finished speaking, the whole class was in an uproar. Everyone turned their heads to look at me, some with guilt in their eyes, others still didn't seem to believe me. I ignored them and turned my head to look at Wang Lu.

Wang Lu's expression seemed to be a little flustered, and his hands under the table were grinding back and forth.

I sighed inwardly and turned back to look for my notebook in a drawer. saw that the tape that I had originally planned to give to Wang Lu after school yesterday was lying quietly in the corner of the drawer at the moment.

I took out the tape and handed it to Wang Lu, "I know you like that music box very much, but unfortunately it's too expensive, I really can't afford it." I stuck out my tongue, "So I bought this cassette tape as a gift for you." ”

Wang Lu looked at the tape in surprise, and then at me, and didn't say anything for a long time with her mouth open.

"What? Don't you like "I'm Crazy for Songs" the most, take it. ”

"Thank you, thank you."

Wang Lu timidly stretched out her right hand to take the tape, and the fingers of her right index finger and thumb were slightly red, as if they had been dyed by something.

I immediately remembered the six big red letters that appeared on the classroom blackboard in the morning.

During recess, Gu Zijin and the others came over again and discussed the thief in a gossiping manner.

"Lu Li is so powerful, he can even think of checking the surveillance." Gu Zipei said.

"This is called Skynet's restoration, but not leak!" Gu Zijin has recently become a chapter.

"What if the thief doesn't turn himself in after the evening?" Wang Ning asked.

I glanced at Wang Lu, who had been keeping her head down, "I bet, she will go." ”

For a moment, I didn't want to believe that Wang Lu was a thief, and I didn't want her to turn herself in.

After school, I deliberately lingered in the classroom for a while, watching Wang Lu slowly walk towards the office.

When her figure disappeared around the corner, I silently followed.

If it's really Wang Lu, what should I say? Ask her why she did it? Ask her if she really thinks of me as a friend?

Wang Lu and I met outside the office.

Wang Lu's eyes were red, obviously she had just cried.

She didn't seem surprised to see me, and before I knew how to ask, she was the first to speak, "Zhenzhen, you have long suspected that I stole the class fee." ”

Wang Lu usually speaks very little, and her expression is always bleak, but at this moment, she turned pale and smiled at me dismally, and continued, "I know, you haven't eaten mustard meat, and you don't like to watch "I'm Crazy for Songs", you and I are friends just because you pity me." ”

Unexpectedly, Wang Lu saw through all my little tricks of lying, but she was right, I really wanted to make friends with her because I couldn't bear her to always be alone.

I instinctively wanted to defend myself, and the excuse was never about the truth, but just self-preservation.

"I just thought, at least you won't be so alone."

Wang Lu sneered: "Zhenzhen, you don't understand anything. Your life is so perfect, you are the sun in the palm of your hand, you think you can warm others, but you never think about how dazzling your light is. I will steal the class fee because I am jealous of you, jealous that you can be by Lu Li's side, because I like ...... Lu Li. ”

Wang Lu in front of her, with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, is not at all like the girl who was submissive and stammered before.

I remembered the eerie glint in her eyes when she said, "Vera, I'm so jealous of you" in the video store, and since when did I become the one who stinged her eyes?

I smiled and shook my head, "You're wrong, no one will say no to the sun." What you fear is that your unsatisfactory life will be exposed to the sun. You are not jealous of me because you like Lu Li, you like Lu Li because you are jealous of me, you care too much about other people's eyes, so much so that you have lost yourself in life. ”

I said it very softly and slowly, but I knew that Wang Lu had heard it.

She didn't speak for a long time, clutching the cassette tape I had given her, her knuckles were a little white because of the tightness.

I didn't want to talk anymore and turned to walk away.

"Why did you give me a tape when you knew I stole the class fee? To make me feel more guilty? Wang Lu asked with a crying voice.

I once read a book that said that people have low self-esteem to a certain extent, and they tend to behave arrogantly and hate the sympathy and pity of others, especially emotions. Once the bottom line is touched, even the most important will be extinguished at all costs, perhaps this is her only last pride.

"The tape was given to my friend Wang Lu by me, not a thief who stole the class fee."

Lu Li stood downstairs in the teaching building with his schoolbag on his back, and when he saw me going downstairs, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's that strange look on your face?" I asked, puzzled.

Lu Li clasped his hands on his chest and looked at me like watching a play, "I thought you were going to fight." ”

I gave him a blank look and stepped forward, "The gentleman doesn't move." ”

Lu Li followed with a single step, reaching out and pulling my ponytail, "It's the first time I've seen a gentleman with pigtails." ”

I knew that Lu Li was worried that I would be sad, so he deliberately stayed and waited for me, and I couldn't help laughing.

"Lu Li, thank you for helping me clear my name. You are really Bao Zheng in the world, shrewd and martial, and like a god in solving cases. ”

Lu Li suddenly stretched out his hand and put it in front of me, "Give it to me." ”

His inexplicable behavior stunned me, "What? ”

"Birthday present."

"How do you know I have prepared a birthday present for you," I pointed to Lu Li, looking at him inquiringly, "Say, are you secretly following me." ”

Lu Li brushed my fingers away and raised his eyebrows, "Didn't someone say this morning that you went to the video store to buy headphones, didn't you give them to me?" ”

I had nothing to say, turned around and took out the headphones from my schoolbag, "I can't hide anything from you, Lu Qingtian." ”

Lu Li took the headphones, with a smile hidden in his eyes, "The vision is very good." ”

It was rare to hear Lu Li praise me, I raised my chin, "Of course, I picked the style and the color is ..... It was Wang Lu who picked it. ”

Since Wang Lu was mentioned, I cautiously asked Lu Li: "Do you know, does Wang Lu like you?" ”

Lu Li hung the headphones around his neck and replied naturally, "Hmm." ”

Lu Li looked into the distance thoughtfully, and didn't say anything more after all.

Wang Lu said that she was jealous that I had a perfect life.

But she didn't know that the loss of her friend had made my life no longer perfect.

What's more, no one has a perfect life.
