Chapter 15: We'll All Grow Up
Last summer, he went to Guangdong alone to find his parents, only to find that his parents had long since separated and each had a new love. At that moment, he ironically felt that his existence was so redundant.
His custody was kicked around like a ball by his parents, and he finally ran back in embarrassment. He said that he was like that ping-pong ball, something that needed to be thrown away from someone else's hands. So he likes to play table tennis.
Yang Ji didn't know how to comfort him, and he seemed so calm when he said this. At that time, it was just dawn, and Yang Ji stayed next to the table tennis table with him and had just finished serving training.
He squatted on the ground and buried his head very low: "When I was six years old, my parents went out for the first time. They cleaned up in the room and quarreled. I'm pretending to be asleep. I regret why I didn't hold my mom and not let them go at that time, so that maybe I wouldn't have lost them. β
Yang Ji squatted down and patted him lightly on the back: "It's not your fault. β
He was a little emotionally broken, and Yang Ji finally understood what he meant when he said that insomnia was terrible. It turned out that he always blamed himself for not leaving his parents behind when the night came.
"I've thought about working hard, I've thought about it, I must study hard, and when I have a chance, I will repay my grandparents well. But they're working too hard, their health is getting worse day by day, and they may not be able to wait for the day when I'm capable. So I thought it would be better not to work hard and drop out early. β
There were already some tears in his eyes, but his hair covered his eyes well, Yang Ji hugged him distressedly, he asked for a while, and then fell on Yang Ji's shoulder and cried.
"I understand you, my dad has been missing for two or three years, and people say he's dead. But I don't believe that I'm going to get him back on my own when I grow up. Yisheng, we will all grow up. We will definitely wait for the day when we have the ability to protect the people we love. β
"But I'm afraid it'll be too late." He finally opened his heart to her at this moment, and they licked each other's wounds like two wounded beasts.
"My grandparents are reluctant to go to the hospital when they are sick, but I am wasting time and money here, I really want to go out and earn money, and I want to bear a little more for my family."
"Yi Sheng, you believe me, your grandparents will live a hundred years old. You must not play games again in the future, I will help you with tutoring, you study hard, this is also the expectation of your grandparents. Yang Ji stroked his head, "I'll help you, I hope you need me so that I feel worthy." β
"Okay." He was very firm in his promise.
From that day on, there was another secret between them, and they stayed for an extra hour of tutoring every night for self-study.
In order to show his determination to Yang Ji, Yang Yisheng cut his hair flat the next day. Even Ma Tingting said that he was nervous. But Yang Ji felt that he was so much more refreshing, and even people were in good spirits.
People are always easy to change, and they will also be influenced by the people around you, and when you are decadent for a long time, you will hate yourself and want to be redeemed.
"Yang Ji, you are like my salvation." When Yang Yisheng said this, Yang Ji believed it.
But many years later, Yang Ji knew that there was no one in this world who was redeemed except herself.
After a batch of new books were added to the school library, Ma Tingting's interest became more and more devoted to romance novels, and it was obvious that something was wrong with the recent investment.
When she went to bed at night, she lay on the bed and secretly took the book to Yang Ji with a flashlight, Yang Ji blushed with shame after reading a paragraph, and then quickly closed the book: "You actually read these books?" How can schools have these books? β
"It's not the people who donate it. What's this, aren't you curious about these things? Don't you want to know what it's like to do that kind of thing between a man and a woman? She lay next to Yang Ji with an excited face.
"That doesn't seem like we're going to be thinking about it right now." Yang Ji tightened the quilt, "If you put all this energy into studying, you won't take the countdown every time." β
"Huh, what do you know? I don't want to learn, if I want to catch up with you in minutes. I don't want to be an obedient puppet, I want to do a lot of things that no one else dares to do. Ma Tingting put away the book with a look of regret: "You really don't read these essences?" I promise you'll regret it later, don't know anything. β
Yang Ji shook her head: "If you should know, you will always know in the future, what are you anxious about?" I don't think there's anything curious about that. Only boys can't wait to know which ones. β
"Cut~ Zhang Yangji, will you die if you are honest once? You just don't dare to admit your desires. You've been suppressed for so long that you've forgotten what it's like to resist. Ma Tingting looked at her disdainfully: "You are still trying to bring Yang Yisheng into your ranks, let me tell you, he and I are the same kind of people, and I can't last long." β
"He's not like you, I trust him." Yang Ji will feel very relieved when he mentions him.
"Cut, sure enough, it's the same as in the novel, a woman who is in love has zero IQ." Ma Tingting got up and went back to her bed: "If you weren't better looking than me, Yang Yisheng would have been taken down by me." β
"You grew up with him since childhood, and if you want to take it early, can you die if you don't brag? But I do look better than you. "It's the first time for Yang Ji to accept other people's praise so frankly, and it feels good.
"You're a girl, look for death." Ma Tingting grinned angrily and threw the pillow over.
At night, Yang Ji closed her eyes, and the plot of the book just now came to her mind - he put her down, and he felt that her body was as soft as cotton, and he couldn't help but want to touch itΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
Does Yang Yisheng also feel that her body is as soft as cotton? The last time he leaned on her shoulder and cried, tears wet his shoulder, and the inexplicable stickiness made her feel both heartache and sadness. But at the same time, there is some inexplicable sweetness and excitement in my heart.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her body was hot, and Yang Ji hurriedly patted her forehead to prevent herself from thinking about it again.
Maybe she really didn't have the courage to face her desires.
Because she was obsessed with reading erotic novels in class, she didn't even know that the history teacher walked up to Ma Tingting with the book.
The short, bespectacled teacher snatched the book from her desk: "You read this kind of book in class?" As a girl, do you know shame? β
The whole class burst into laughter, and Ma Tingting's face was as red as a roasted sweet potato, red to purple, and she wanted to bury her head under the desk.
"Come to my office after class." The history teacher finished speaking and continued the lesson.
Ma Tingting bit her lip and looked at Yang Ji and said, "Why didn't you tell me when the teacher came?" β
Yang Ji shook her head helplessly: "I've coughed many times, and you saw it yourself." β
"Oops, this time it's going to be dead."
