Chapter 25: Conflict (1)
The school is a place that is not big or small, it is easy to avoid a person, and if you want to meet by chance, I am afraid that you have to accumulate a certain amount of fate and luck.
On this day, after class in the summer, she hurriedly ran to the cafeteria, planning to go to the library after a bite of food, and the exam was approaching, which was a lot of pressure for her.
If she can go home with a satisfactory grade, maybe her mother's face will return to normal, and she will be able to smile as proudly as when she looked at her brother's report card.
Although the words between their mother and daughter in the past few years have not exceeded ten sentences, they still want to give it a try in the summer, and if they go to a sparsely populated border town after graduation, then the two will meet less often.
"Oh, my mushroom mother, what is it going to take to make you like me?" Summer stood at the bottom of the stone steps and looked up, "What do people live for?" Pleasing your parents, pleasing the world? ”
Before the negative emotions could fully take over the brain, the surrounding scene was suddenly attached by someone with a layer of early winter color.
The bluestone steps in front of me, which were only twenty or thirty floors, seemed to exude cold moisture, most of the grass on both sides had faded, and a row of orange shriveled flowers were trying to fight the cold wind for the last time.
Whew-
Summer let out a long breath.
Cheng Ze, are you here for me?
Due to nervousness, her breathing has begun to become rapid, and in these days of separation, in addition to studying, her mind is Cheng Ze.
Although Summer didn't want to admit it, she told herself that she had nothing to do with Xiaocao anymore, but she still deliberately looked through her chat history with Dabai every night, and even fantasized that one day they would meet by chance like today.
The chance encounter really came, but it was not what I imagined.
No conversation, no greeting, not even a single eye contact.
With his hands in his jacket pockets, Narusawa slowly walked behind Summer and then walked up the stone steps......
There is only one back left for summer.
If you stop him, won't you look too cheap?
Halfway up the stone steps, Cheng Ze suddenly stopped.
"Are you going to turn around and talk to me?" Summer clenched the straps of her canvas bag with both hands, and a thought of running away came to her.
"Big Fly! Ah, I'm almost there. Putting away the phone, Cheng Ze continued to walk up, and after a while, he was no longer visible.
Summer seemed to be drained of strength, my heart hurt to death, the cold wind poured into my ears, and every nerve was like a frozen string, unable to make a sound, and would break at the slightest touch.
The beginning of anticipation was thrown away like garbage.
"Why did you provoke me in the first place?" In the summer, her legs were weak and she sat down on the stone steps, tears rolling down her cheeks, warming her cold cheeks.
The depression finally broke out, and the small sobs turned into howling and crying, she hated herself for not sticking to her beliefs, believing in Cheng Ze, and missing Cheng Ze.
It wasn't until the remorse and sadness in my heart were washed away by tears that my breathing gradually stabilized.
Only then did I find that there was a girl sitting next to her, who looked like a junior schoolgirl.
"How do you ......," Summer asked in a trembling voice.
"Seeing that the senior sister is crying sadly, so I want to stay here with you." When the elementary school girl laughs, there is a dimple on each side of the corner of her mouth.
"Thank you, it's almost the exam, it's so stressful." Summer wiped away her tears, put on her glasses, and barely squeezed out a smile at the kind schoolgirl.
"Ah, that's right." The senior sister nodded, "Senior sister is a junior, I heard that the junior year is more stressful than the senior year, sure enough, but the senior sister, only the pressure of serious study is great, if you come to mess around, it is Golden Week every day, it seems that the senior sister is a scholar." ”
"No, you have to work harder because of the average grade." Summer stood up.
"Where is Senpai going? Canteen? The little girl also stood up.
"Hmm."
"Let's do it together."
In the face of this kind-hearted child, she couldn't bear to refuse in the summer, she had just been with her in the cold wind for so long, and she should have been invited to a meal.
"What's your name?"
"Zheng Zixuan, what about you, senior sister?"
"Summer."
"That's an interesting name."
The two came to the second floor of the cafeteria, and Summer asked, "What do you want to eat?" I invite you. ”
Zheng Zixuan hurriedly said: "Don't, it's not easy for my parents to earn money. ”
Summer said, "It's just lunch, thank you for being with me just now." ”
Zheng Zixuan pulled Xia Xia to the ramen stall and said, "Okay, invite me to eat a bowl of noodles, in fact, we were with each other just now." ”
"What do you say?"
"I had a fight with my roommates in the dormitory this morning, one hit two, although I lost, but I didn't lose the momentum, I can't get used to them, the more I get used to it, the more I think I'm a bully, before I met you, the counselor just finished talking to me......" She sighed deeply, "Seriously, I want to drop out, if I don't think of my mother, I ......"
Summer sneered, the relationship between the bedrooms is like this, it's a good deal, it's a lifelong best friend, it's not good, it's more exciting than a palace fight drama.
"Because you're only a freshman, when you grow up, your temperament is stable, you will be able to rein in your edge, and you won't quarrel over trivial matters."
"Senior sister is really comforting, wait for a WeChat update."
"Okay."
When he was about to arrive at the stall, Xia found Zhang Fei sitting with Cheng Xiaolan and Cheng Ze, and immediately stopped.
"Senior Sister Summer, what's wrong?"
You can't keep dodging, and besides, what's there to dodge?
"Nothing." After crying, Summer also figured out a lot.
After paying for the noodles, Zhang Fei waved at them and shouted, "Senior sister, the classmate opposite me is almost finished, come here." ”
In the summer, I shook my head and looked around for an empty seat, but unfortunately, it was too difficult to find during this time period.
"Let's go over." Zheng Zixuan said.
After the two sat down, Zheng Zixuan took out her mobile phone and showed Xia Xia her business card.
"Senior sister, can you sweep me?"
"Hmm."
Zhang Fei looked very happy when he saw Summer, he said, "It's been a long time, hasn't you seen you for a long time, has Senior Sister been very busy lately?" ”
Summer replied, "Yes. The afterglow swept to Cheng Ze, and his attitude was the same as just now, as if he hadn't seen summer, and he kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.
Cheng Xiaolan glanced at Xia Xia and asked in a weird manner, "Have you cried?" ”
Zhang Fei poked out his neck and looked carefully into Summer's eyes, but he didn't see anything for a long time.
Summer can feel it, Cheng Ze's gaze also swept over, cold and without a little temperature.
"Senior sister just ......," Zheng Zixuan wanted to say that she cried in the summer because of too much pressure from the exam.
"Xuanxuan, the face is ready." Summer stopped her.
"I'll bring it here, you sit here and wait."
Cheng Xiaolan didn't give up: "Why are you crying?" ”
Xia didn't even look at her, and asked Zhang Fei: "Who of you loves noodles so much, I can always meet you here." ”
Zhang Fei pointed at Cheng Ze and said, "He." ”
Summer regretted asking this question, but luckily the phone rang at this time.
"Got a seat? I'll take a bite of noodles and go over immediately, I'm going to get big to read professional information these days, let's change math today, okay, okay. He hung up the phone and brought the noodles over.
"Yeon-yeon?" Zhang Fei asked.
"Hmm." Summer replied.
"We've been seeing each other less lately, and you go to the library every day?"
Summer nods while eating noodles.
"Because Aze doesn't want you anymore, why are you crying?" Cheng Xiaolan crossed her arms and asked Xia coldly.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Fei reproached.
"Aze hasn't said a word to her since she sat here, and recently we've become a magic academy trio again, isn't that obvious enough? I've said a long time ago, whether it's making friends or talking about girlfriends, you have to be right, who is she asking for her own hardships. Cheng Xiaolan gloated.
What Academy of Magic trio, do you think you're Hermione?
Summer rolled her eyes.
"Hey, you have to be at least a little polite when people talk to you, right?" Cheng Xiaolan was furious.
The elementary school girl is right, the more you get used to it, the more the other party thinks you are a bully.
"Say 'Hey' to Senpai? Where is your politeness? Summer questioned her.
"I ......" Cheng Xiaolan was stunned.
"If you have time to be curious about other people's affairs, it's better to take care of yourself, and the exam is about to be, if the results are too different from the two of them, it will be a shame." Summer stood up, and most of the remaining bowl of noodles was not going to be eaten, "Have you ever seen the blue life and death love?" Do you know that Eun-hee and Jun-hee are obviously not related by blood, but they can't be together? I think you're the one who asks for your own hardships, right? ”
"I'm not an aunt, how can I have watched such an old Korean drama."
"Looks like you've really seen it."
"You-"
"I'm really going to be annoyed by these stinky flies." Summer muttered and left the table, who wanted to walk a few meters forward, when he heard Cheng Xiaolan's almost crazy roar.
"Summer!"
This roar attracted the attention of all the students.
Summer turned around and asked, "What?" ”
Suddenly, something hard slammed into her face unexpectedly.
Summer first heard the sound of the lens shattering, and then her left eye began to hurt violently, although she couldn't see it for the time being, she could also feel the blood gushing out, she raised her hand to wipe the blood, but the blood flowed more and more, and in an instant, half of her face was stained with blood.
Summer sat down after a bout of vertigo, and unfortunately pressed the palm of his left hand on the broken lens when he was on the ground.
"Shhhh
The fingers were sliced open, and blood slowly flowed out.
"She's bleeding, doesn't it matter her eyes?"
"What should I do?"
"It's scary."
Many people got up from their seats, and everyone was too frightened to step forward.
"Senior sister-" Zheng Zixuan took out a tissue from her bag, followed Zhang Fei to Xia's side, and slowly wiped the blood on her face and hands.
"Don't touch, don't touch." Summer's fingers hurt a little, and there should still be broken glass stuck in the flesh.
"Senior sister, you put your arms around my neck, and I'll carry you to the infirmary."
"Hmm-"
Summer replied with a shudder, her voice like she was stuck to her lips and could only cry out for help from her throat.
"Don't be afraid, it'll be right away." Zhang Fei picked up Xia and ran out of the cafeteria quickly, and kept comforting her.
Cheng Xiaolan trembled and picked up her bag, the golden rivets on it were still stained with summer blood, she took out the phone and called her mother anxiously: "Mom, come to school quickly, I seem to be in trouble." ”
Cheng Ze stared blankly at the ground.
The broken lenses and bright red blood were mixed together, like Cheng Ze's broken heart.
