After reading in the morning, Lu Zhu went downstairs with a thermos bottle to fetch water, Jiang Huaining took out the Christmas card that Lu Zhu gave him in the morning from the drawer, and gently opened it with his fingertips against the edge.

In the middle of the greeting card is a paper sculpture of a small forest, next to which stands an elk, shining gold flakes sprinkled on the paper, and she writes her blessings to him with a pen.

To Jianghuaining:

Merry Christmas, safe years, and always upward.

2012.12.25

- Lu Zhu

Jiang Huaining closed the greeting card, rubbed his fingers against the slightly raised pattern on the cover, and carefully put it into the mezzanine of his schoolbag.

During the recess, some students came to give Jiang Huaining Christmas gifts. His birthday was too low-key before, and almost no one in the class knew about it. Christmas is a public holiday, and everyone exchanging gifts, greeting cards, snacks, and some even go out to work to give them to good friends. With a festive atmosphere, the gift given to him won't be obtrusive.

There are too many classmates who come to give gifts, and there are those who help to hand them over, Jiang Huaining can't completely refuse, not to mention, even if he refuses, someone will take advantage of his absence and secretly stuff them into his drawer.

By the time he found out, there was no room left in the drawers.

Shen Huan saw his troubles and gloated on the side: "It seems that being too popular is not a good thing." "The gift boxes in the drawers are falling out.

He raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly: "Do you think there is a love letter in this?" ”

Even if Jiang Huaining released his words earlier that his future girlfriend was looking for the first grade, there were still many girls who secretly had a crush on him, cautiously stretched out their tentacles of temptation, and thought with longing that maybe one day he could become the person in his heart.

Regarding Shen Huan's jokes, Jiang Huaining ignored them.

In the morning, the class was filled with a festive atmosphere, and the teachers were not affected in the slightest, and the class was still full of spittle.

The last session was physics, Du Yigang's class, which barely suppressed the lively festival atmosphere.

In the middle of class, Du Yi just went out to answer a phone call, and when he came back in, his expression was wrong, he dropped the sentence "self-study", and even forgot to take the textbook on the desk, and left the classroom in a hurry.

The class was quiet for a few seconds, and then there was a lot of noise.

Zeng Xiang rolled the physics book into a long tube, knocked on the table, and stood up to maintain discipline: "Don't make any noise, do your homework." ”

The class spoke a little quieter, but there were still whispers from time to time.

Du Yigang didn't come back, maybe he was in a hurry and was busy dealing with it.

Ten minutes before the end of school, the front door of the classroom was suddenly carefully pushed open, and with a "squeak", a girl grabbed the door frame with one hand, her amber eyes were moist and bright, and she swept the rows of students with exploration.

"Classmate, who are you looking for?" The boy sitting near the door asked softly.

The girl who suddenly appeared at the door was really beautiful, with long black hair tied with a bright blue silk scarf and a bow tied on one side, as if a blue swallowtail butterfly had landed on top of her head. She wore a black cape-like coat, and the neckline and cuffs were covered with fine and thick fur, such a deep color, but it could not hide her bright and atmospheric facial features, but made her face delicate and impeccable. Especially the peach blossom eyes with the tails of the eyes raised, which are so beautiful.

"I'm looking for Jiang Huaining." The girl said it generously.

Boys smile heartily, and there are many girls who come to give gifts to Jiang Huaining at Christmas. However, she was the first to dare to find her during class time.

The boy turned his head and looked at the middle group, just about to call Jiang Huaining's name, and the next second, the girl at the door had already seen him, and called happily: "Jiang Huaining!" ”

The clear and beautiful voice, without the slightest pretentiousness, was as enthusiastic as a cluster of flames, causing the class to prick up their heads and look at the bold girl.

Jiang Huaining was immersed in the question, and he heard a somewhat familiar voice unexpectedly, stunned for a moment, raised his eyes, and a trace of accident stained his eyebrows.

"Jiang Huaining!" The girl called again, "You come out!" ”

The students in the class stopped writing their homework, and they all showed their eyes to watch the show, and even the good deeds instigated: "School grass, the beautiful girl told you to go out, if you don't go out, people will lose face." ”

"Hahaha."

The others echoed and laughed.

Lu Zhu was so disturbed that she couldn't concentrate on her homework, and in the ridicule and laughter of everyone, she raised her eyes and glanced casually at the door, stunned.

Like the boys, she thought she was so eye-catching the first time she saw her.

In the face of all kinds of scrutiny, the girl did not show timidity, stood on tiptoe, and persevered in shouting the name: "Jiang Huaining!" I came all the way to look for you, and you didn't come out to see me? ”

One sentence contained a huge amount of information, and the students in the class were shocked, it turned out that she was not a student of Yunshan High School.

No wonder it looks strange, if there were girls of this level in the school, they would have been famous a long time ago.

According to Jiang Huaining's temperament, Lu Zhu thought that he would not care, so he did not give up his seat. Who would have thought that the girl would run directly into the classroom and stand next to her seat.

"Jiang Huaining, didn't you hear me call you?" The girl's face was full of gloom, and she suppressed her anger and complained to him, "Your phone number has changed, and the previous QQ number is no longer needed, how difficult it is for me to find here!" ”

From the moment this girl appeared here, the words she said became more and more vigorous, and the eyes of a group of students in class eight who had never seen the world were about to fall.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Huai Ning reluctantly threw down his pen and stood up.

Lu Zhu pursed his lips and removed the stool to let him out.

"Come out."

Jiang Huaining dropped a sentence and took the lead out of the classroom.

The beautiful girl immediately restrained all her arrogance, and followed him out, her hands twisted together in front of her, looking well-behaved.

If the two of them are judged before and after, who is not surprised by it?

The door closes, cutting off the prying eyes.

"I was stunned, the girl who came out of nowhere, her combat effectiveness is so fierce, the school grass has no way to take her."

"It seems that the two of them have an adulterous relationship, although I was helpless to see the school grass, I still went out."

"Don't you go out? The girl had the momentum of vowing not to give up until she reached her goal. ”

Zeng Xiang shouted "quiet" several times in his throat, but it had no effect. Everyone was in high spirits, and there was a heated discussion around the topic of beautiful women chasing the school grass thousands of miles away.

Some boys even said that no matter how calm a boy is, he generally can't resist this kind of girl who boldly pursues love. Even if there is any resistance at the beginning, it will be temporary, and it will be taken down in the end. It's like I've experienced it myself.

Lu Zhu looked at the closed classroom door, imagining uncontrollably what they would do and say.

——

In the cold winter, the sun is not very warm, the sun shines on the face, only a slight temperature, like a thin veil covering the skin.

The grass and trees in the empty flower bed downstairs are withered, and only the evergreen trees of the four seasons are pruned into balls, showing vigorous vitality.

Jiang Huaining walked to the railing, turned around, and looked at the girl who came out behind him, not angry or happy, with a very lackluster expression: "Xie Ning, what are you doing here?" ”

"Of course I'm looking for you, otherwise I can still come to this place for a vacation?" Xie Ning furrowed her eyebrows and complained loudly, "Do you know how far it is from Beicheng to here? The school only has a day and a half off, and it takes 10 hours to take a train to Jinyang City, and it takes more than an hour to take a taxi from the city to this backward small county. You are so ruthless, you didn't even leave a word when you left! ”

She was angry, she was complaining, she was crusading, but Jiang Huaining's face did not change from beginning to end.

There seemed to be a puppet standing in front of her, and the fire that came out was like beating on cotton, and it didn't give her any repercussions.

After a long time, Jiang Huaining only asked: "How do you know that I am here?" ”

"I forced Hu Shengdong, don't blame him." Xie Ning clenched the schoolbag belt on her shoulder, thinking about it, she was still angry, "Why did you suddenly transfer schools?" ”

Jiang Huaining didn't answer, his emotions were light, mainly because he felt that there was no need to explain to others.

"Okay, you don't want to say it, and I won't force you." Xie Ning was good-natured and considered for him.

Jiang Huaining looked away: "What else do you want to say?" ”

His attitude is obviously driving people away.

A wave of anger that had just been extinguished was rekindled, and Xie Ning asked him, "Why did you cut off contact with your former classmates?" Do you know? I thought you had evaporated from the world and looked for you for months! Hu Shengdong's mouth is tight, if I hadn't tried my best to pester him every day, he wouldn't have told me. Only Hu Shengdong is your friend, aren't we classmates your friends? ”

Her voice was loud, and the words she shouted were louder than the last, and a few words could be vaguely heard through the wall, and the students in the class were almost dying of curiosity.

Jiang Huaining was so noisy that she had a headache, and she also knew her character of eating soft rather than hard, so after thinking about it for a while, her attitude softened a little: "My school registration is already here, not in Beicheng, and it will be transferred back sooner or later." ”

"Don't think I can't hear you doing tai chi." Xie Ning snorted, "You still haven't answered my question." ”

"I didn't fail to contact you, I just didn't know what to say."

In the end, he gave a painless explanation.

During the years when Jiang Huaining was studying in Beicheng, he made a lot of friends, and he couldn't count them on two hands. The family suddenly changed, and he was not as indifferent as he seemed on the surface.

During that time, my father was riddled with lawsuits, sick and hospitalized, and my mother was in a hurry, running on both sides of the company hospital. He was anxious, but he couldn't help at all. Later, when the dust settled, he was in a trance, and he didn't want to contact anyone, so he changed his mobile phone number, and his previous QQ number was no longer used.

It wasn't until he returned to Yunshan County that he slowly adjusted his mentality and re-registered a QQ, and there are only a few people in his friend list at present.
