A week before the start of school, our boarders were returning to school from home. Considering that I was still nearly halfway through my homework, I moved back to my dorm a few days earlier than originally planned to avoid my parents' chatter, so that I could quietly make a final battle. I didn't expect Xingyuan to come back earlier. According to her, this is to facilitate participation in the rehearsals of the show in recent days. While lamenting that those who can work hard, I don't forget to bury my head in homework. During the day, Xingyuan was too busy to see anyone, but after evening, she was very idle. Unable to bear to see me sighing and frowning from time to time, she offered to teach me. What backbone do you talk about at a critical juncture? At this moment, I can't let go of any life-saving straw, especially the one handed by Xingyuan. I hurriedly finished the questions I could do, and I counted on Xingyuan to explain the rest to me. Under the guidance of Xingyuan, in the face of those topics that I had never understood, I had the illusion of being handy.

"It's finally done!" I stretched, contentedly looking at the pile of answers on my desk.

"Great!" Xingyuan clapped her hands at me in congratulations.

"Thanks to you, Xingyuan, I really don't know how to thank you......" I blinked at Xingyuan, putting on a hypocritical look of gratitude.

As usual, Xingyuan was amused by me. "Haha...... Yin Ran, what are you polite to me...... Just invite me to a meal another day......"

Huangpin is one of Xingyuan's favorite restaurants, the food is delicious but the price is expensive, and I can't afford it with my financial resources. Even though I'm pretty sure that Xingyuan didn't mean to embarrass me, she was just joking at what she said just now, but somehow, I still feel sad. "Xingyuan...... Wait until I get my first paycheck...... I'll definitely invite you to eat ......."

Seeing that I suddenly became more serious, Xingyuan's eyes showed guilt. "If you keep your promise, I'll reward you with a small gift. Let me think...... Didn't you really like the bracelet I wore last time? It's pretty platinum......"

"Really?" I was overjoyed and couldn't help but exclaim.

"What really?" Xingyuan tilted her head and asked with a confused expression.

"Are you really going to buy me a platinum bracelet?" I pouted coquettishly.

Xingyuan glanced at me with her peripheral vision and smiled meaningfully, "What's this...... It depends on your performance......"

"If you say it, you can't change it!" I put my arm around Xingyuan and said with a smile: "If you can't receive the bracelet within the time limit, I'll go to the door to find you." ”

"Ah...... I knew I wouldn't take you to my house to play, it seems that I can't afford it......" Xingyuan muttered and looked at me and smiled.

At that time, I could not have imagined that every time I think about today, I can't help but cry sadly.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or a school tradition, but in short, the head teacher of each class has designated the first person in the class to be a member of the study committee. couldn't resist the head teacher's repeated "knowing with reason and moving with affection", Yang Taomian took over the errand for him. As shrewd as he was, he probably did not expect that the work shouldered by the study committee members would require not only mental power, but also physical strength. Looking at the stack of workbooks that were as tall as others, Yang Tao couldn't help frowning. It was his duty as a member of the study committee to move them to the corresponding office one by one.

"Do you want my help?" Looking at Yang Tao, who was depressed and distressed, I felt pitiful for him for the first time.

"Thank you very much." Yang Tao let out a long sigh of relief.

"Why don't you wait for me?" At this time, Xu Mingyao appeared outside the classroom door, and through his voice, he could be heard secretly panting. It turned out that he was bent on helping Yang Tao move his books, so he immediately went to the basketball court after school to ask the coach for leave. Indifference may be the way of life for top students. He and Yang Tao were the only ones in the small group of scholars who noticed Yang Tao's embarrassment and reached out to help.

"Isn't that waiting for you?" Xu Mingyao's appearance instantly dispelled the haze that shrouded Yang Tao's face.

"I'll help too." Shen Yunhao, who was about to go home, put down his schoolbag and joined in. Born into a family of police officers, he is an honest and reliable person, but he has not gained the reputation he deserves because he is too low-key.

"The homework for the three subjects of language, mathematics and English was moved downstairs, and the rest were moved to the first floor of the three buildings." Yang Tao did not intend to delay for a moment, and began to assign tasks after giving a brief explanation. Considering the physical factors, Yang Tao handed over the homework that needed to be sent to the three buildings to Xu Mingyao and Shen Yunhao, and the two of us took care of the part that was sent downstairs in large quantities.

Yang Tao and I are both unsociable people, and we don't have any friendships, so we rarely interact with each other on weekdays. The silence along the way did not make me feel embarrassed, but Yang Tao seemed a little uncomfortable. Probably because he felt that he owed me a favor and thought that he was obligated to chat with me to relieve his boredom. After a few minutes of hesitation, he finally opened the conversation. "Yin Ran, if I'm not mistaken, your Chinese homework is written about the after-reading of "One Hundred Years of Solitude"?"

"Yes......" I looked at Yang Tao blankly, not knowing what to answer.

"I've checked every assignment I've handed in, and I've seen if I've finished it." Seeing that the topic that was not easy to find was about to fail, Yang Tao was embarrassed and helpless.

It is surprising that Yang Tao would be so concerned about the affairs of the study committee. "You're so responsible." I complimented casually.

"It's my principle to do my best when I promise someone else." Yang Tao said with a serious face.

"Oh......" I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when I heard his words.

"Closer to home, I think the book you chose is a good one." Yang Tao returned to his usual casual appearance and continued: "People who can endure loneliness and focus on one thing for the rest of their lives are truly great." I think that's the only way to make a difference. ”

Listening to his words, I was surprised and amused, I didn't expect anyone to have such a strange ...... for "One Hundred Years of Solitude" No, it's a unique perception. "Uh...... You have a good point, it's just ...... I didn't read this deep meaning...... "I chose it because of the title of the book, and I naturally focused on the word "loneliness". The deep loneliness depicted in the book, which is not understood by those around me, made me find empathy, of course, I will not tell Yang Tao this.

"The classics deserve to be savored again and again." What he meant by this was that I didn't understand the book well enough.

"If you have time......" I replied vaguely.

"The value of a good book is that every time you read it, you will make new discoveries and new experiences." Yang Tao let out a deep sigh.

"Couldn't agree more...... Oh, I almost forgot to ask, which book did you choose? "I changed the subject without a trace.

"The Little Prince." I was stunned, "Huh? With a sound, Yang Tao's face turned red. How...... I've done my homework according to the rules......"

"Not bad......" I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

By the time we finished our homework, it was already half dark. As a treat, Yang Tao invited us to a drink. Xu Mingyao chose peach tea, which is one of my favorite drinks.
