"I'm home with Xia Yang, the white two-story building in front of me is my house, you can come to play with me in the future!" Paper Kite stopped the bicycle and said goodbye to Lu Xi and Tan Miao.

"Is that your house?"

"Yes, feel free to come by!"

"Good"

Monday afternoon is still two composition lessons, these are the two favorite classes of the paper kite, because every paper kite's composition will be read to the class as a model text, at this time the paper kite's heart is proud, but her conceit was completely shattered that afternoon, so broken that she didn't even have a chance to pick it up. It was no one else who took away this pride, it was the girl Lu Xi sitting next to her, and even so, the paper kite didn't even have a reason to hate her.

The title of this essay is "What is love", and the paper kite thinks that it is easy to come and a piece of cake, but she is inferior after all. Lu Xi stroked the slightly long bangs in front of his forehead, and gently supported the text with both hands, his voice was as soft as a gust of wind.

"Love is simple, but love is so hard. My father always said that he loved me, but I didn't see him for most of the year, and my mother always said that she loved me, but she had remarried and had children. The love I want, the love I understand, is very simple, as long as I have the company of my family, it is love! ”

Lu Xi on the podium, his voice was a little hoarse, his head was lowered, and his hands were a little trembling. The paper kite watched her silently, the sun shining on her jet-black hair warm and silent. Lu Xi raised her head slightly, and the paper kite-like clearly saw the sparkle and sadness in her eyes, at this time, Lu Xi was no longer the smiling Lu Xi of the past, just a poor person who licked his wounds silently. Looking at Lu Xi like this, Paper Kite suddenly realized that it was never just himself who had secrets.

Xia Yang and Shen Yiran were still waiting by the carport, and the paper kite-like pulled Lu Xi and ran over, as if she hadn't heard anything in the afternoon. Everyone has wounds, just like the paper kite, Lu Xi, it's just that the paper kite chooses to cover it carefully, while Lu Xi chooses to expose it to the sun and let the warmth heal it.

"What about Tan Miao? Haven't you been here yet? ”

"No, just wait a little longer." As soon as the words fell, Tan Miao walked over slowly from a distance, with a cynical smile on her face.

"Why is it so late? We've all been waiting for you for a long time. Shen Yiran tidied up the bangs in front of his forehead and said.

"Oh, the head teacher talked to me for a while, so I was late." Tan Miao put her schoolbag in the basket and replied nonchalantly.

"Why is the head teacher looking for you? Did you get into trouble again? My aunt would be angry if she knew! ”

"Lu Xi, is it in your eyes that I am a cynical and spoiled bad boy?"

"Brother, I'm sorry." Lu Xi had a look of shame on his face.

"Well, the head teacher told me that in order to improve the quality of teaching and ensure the online rate of the college entrance examination, the school should set up a top class."

"Top class, why didn't our teacher tell us?"

"Maybe it's because you don't have good grades and can't go, so I didn't tell you."

"How is it possible, my grades are quite good, even if I can't go, the little kite can always go. Little kite, did the teacher tell you? ”

"Me? No. ”

"Look, the teacher didn't tell the little kite, are you blinded by us?"

"Maybe the teacher hasn't had time yet."

As Tan Miao said. In the third year of high school, several people were assigned to the top class, and they were very happy. The class took the form of free choice, with Paper Kite and Lu Xi at one table, Xia Yang and Shen Yiran at one table, and Tan Miao choosing one person to sit in the back row.

"Why is Tan Miao sitting alone in the back?" Paper Kite's head glanced back at Tan Miao, just in time to meet his gaze. Tan Miao smiled playfully at the paper kite, bathed in the sun. Paper Kite smiled embarrassedly and quickly turned around.

"Oh, my brother has always been like this, he likes the back, he is quiet alone, he is so rebellious."

The days passed in a tense atmosphere, because it was a top class, the competition was getting more and more fierce, and everyone felt pressure. In order to improve the quality of teaching, the school has extended the evening self-study until 10 o'clock in the evening. Because the paper kite is afraid of the dark, Xia Yang will escort her home every time.

In fact, in addition to doing test papers, evening self-study is to brush questions, which is very boring. Suddenly, the power went out, and in the darkness the little paper kite became overwhelmed, and the things that had been gradually forgotten came back to her mind again: that night of lightning and thunder, that claustrophobic library...

Her body trembled unconsciously, her whole legs became weak, and the paper kite heard Xia Yang's voice calling her. A beam of light shone on her face, and the paper kite tried to open her eyes and look in the direction of the light source, the light was getting closer and closer to her, getting closer and closer, until she came to her, she saw Xia Yang's warm face clearly, but that face was no longer the smile she often saw.

"Little kite, don't be afraid, I asked the teacher for leave, saying that you are not feeling well, I will send you back."

"Xia Yang, what's wrong with the little kite, it's sweating so much, and it's still shaking?" Lu Xi was frightened by the appearance of the paper kite.

"Later, I'll send her back first." Xia Yang wanted to reach out to pull the paper kite, but saw that her legs were shaking and she couldn't stand up at all, so she simply squatted in front of her: "Come on, I'll carry you." ”

Xia Yang originally wanted to use a bicycle to carry the paper kite home, but when he saw her like that, he had to carry her all the way home. Xia Yang's back was not as comfortable as the paper kite, but it hurt her.

The former paper kite once thought that Xia Yang's back was so comfortable that Shen Yiran would forget the pain and fall asleep, until he was lying on his back and realized that it was the kind of safety and warmth that made people feel at ease, so he forgot the physical and mental pain.

"It's home, come down!" Xia Yang called the paper kite softly, and the paper kite opened its hazy eyes, adjusted to the bright light coming out of the window, and slowly slid off Xia Yang's back.

"Xia Yang, thank you!"

"No thanks, I'll go back first, you're okay!"

"I'm fine, you can go back."

Under the street lamp, the paper kite, watching Xia Yang's back gradually disappear from view, had a strange feeling rising in his heart. The countdown on the blackboard is decreasing day by day, there are only ten days left before the college entrance examination, everyone is doing their own thing with their heads down, reading their own books, no one will notice anyone, and piles of books blocking the view and communication between each other.

"Lu Xi, Tan Miao hasn't come to class for a few days, you go to his house to ask what the situation is, and tell him that the college entrance examination will be taken soon, don't delay the review." The head teacher suddenly stopped at the table between Paper Kite and Lu Xi, and said softly to Lu Xi.

"Okay, teacher, I'll talk to him after school."
