Xiao Yao studied hard, and his daily efforts lasted only half a morning before he declared bankruptcy.

It must be admitted that there is indeed a factor of weak willpower, but it should also be recognized that mathematics is a harsh discipline that you can only get zero points even if you put in 99% of your sweat and can't touch the door.

I can only count on Yu Luying to help open this door, or the window, or not, with a key?

At lunchtime, Xiao Yao handed Xiao Xiong a torn checkered composition paper.

"What?" The bear rolled his eyelids.

"I saw it in the anthology yesterday, and I thought it was good, so I copied it," which was actually rewritten from memory: "I want you to see it." ”

"That's what a good thing to call that? Are you expensive, have you graduated from junior high school? The bear gave him a casual look and handed it back.

"Selected essays for elementary school students, I'll let you see what's going on with this child's father."

"I hate reading comprehension the most," Little Bear shook off the graph paper again and read it carefully: "Isn't this clear?" His father died. ”

"Dead?" The corners of Xiao Yao's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

"Definitely," Xiao Xiong returned the composition paper to Xiao Yao with some melancholy: "When I was in elementary school, my grandmother passed away, and my mother hid me like this for a long time. Although I can understand it now, I still blame her a little. ”

"I'm sorry, I haven't heard you talk about it." Xiao Yao saw that the little bear was a little distracted, so he hurriedly said humbly and buried his head in eating.

If he died when Shen Tianyun was about ten years old, everything would indeed make sense.

She didn't want to tell her the truth because she was afraid that she would worry too much.

She always clings to herself because she misses her father very much.

She said, "Mother wants you to find her in the past", because the future Shen Jie misses herself, so she wants to start her relationship with herself "in advance".

If it is calculated according to Shen Tianyun's ten years old, then it is...... You're about 40 years old?

Thinking that he would die young, Xiao Yao couldn't taste the braised pork in his mouth.

That sense of vague fear......

"Hey, are you listening?" Subsequently, Xiao Yao was woken up by a slap from the bear: "What are you in a daze?" ”

"You say, can the future be changed?" Xiao Yao blurted out.

"Neurotic," Little Bear sneered, "What can't be changed is the past, and the future can be changed." ”

"yes, for sure." Xiao Yao clenched his fists hard.

-- Dividing line --

After school, Xiao Yao lingered in the classroom.

"I'm not going," he said, shaking his head at the basketball bear, standing at the door of the classroom, "Go ahead." ”

Xiao Xiong turned sideways slightly, his gaze passed over Xiao Yao's shoulder, and fell on Yu Luying, who was struggling to write at the desk, revealing a "I understand" expression, and squeezed his eyes at Xiao Yao again.

When the afterglow of the setting sun fell on Xiao Yao's desk, the students on duty left in twos and threes, and only the entertainment committee members were still diligently putting out the blackboard newspaper.

Coldly, a ball of paper smashed on his table, startling Xiao Yao.

"You go back first, don't wait for me, I'll rehearse in the orchestra."

Reading this line of Juanxiu's font, Xiao Yao remembered that every Monday and Thursday is the time for the school's wind music club activities.

Xiao Yao stuffed the paper ball into the pocket of the school uniform, walked away from the teaching building with not very light steps, and walked along the red plastic track of the playground towards the school gate.

The magnolia planted in the flower bed is in full bloom, and the fragrance is refreshing.

Passing by the shade of the trees, he walked out of the school gate, diagonally across the street, and into the commissary next door to the church.

"The lottery numbers are out?" Xiao Yao struggled to make his voice sound calm.

"Whoa." The old man who was reading the newspaper pushed the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, didn't look at him, just pouted in one direction.

Xiao Yao took out the lottery ticket he bought on Friday morning and compared it with the winning numbers written with a pen on a plastic board.

……

"Yikes! All right! I'm in! Xiao Yao said.

The old man finally raised his head.

Won 20 yuan, the rate of return is 1000%, and it is a good deal.

Originally, Xiao Yao shouldn't have been too disappointed.

After all, as a senior fan of "The Emperor of Science Fiction", this has long been within Xiao Yao's psychological expectations.

It must be some kind of timeline self-patching mechanic or something, right? It can't always be a sports lottery ......?

But does this mean that the future cannot be changed?

No, not necessarily.

Out of prudence, let's go back and confirm with Shen Tianyun that the number she provided is wrong.

After receiving the results of winning the lottery for the first time in his life from the hands of the old man - four crumpled 5 yuan bills, Xiao Yao walked to his bicycle.

I always feel as if there are eyes watching me somewhere......

Xiao Yao turned his head to look around, and at this time the sky had already darkened, and he didn't find anything.

It's a delusion, right? But my instincts are quite accurate......

Could it be that the little ruffian of Beihong Technical School is going to "divide the way" again? (Note: Modu dialect, refers to extortion)

Don't you can't keep it for 20 yuan!

didn't dare to walk through the alley, Xiao Yao rode along the main road, and passed by the Canhua Internet Cafe.

He fumbled for twenty yuan in his pocket, hesitated, and pulled over.

Habitually looking left and right, he didn't see grandma, Teacher Yao or student union officials, Xiao Yao flashed into the corridor of the black hole and went straight to the second floor.

I slammed open the roller shutter door of the Internet café, and the coolness came to my face, which was refreshing.

As usual, the air in the Internet café was mixed with the smell of sofa leather, computer supplies, feet and some leftover food.

This smell is unique to the air of the Internet café, and it is not unpleasant for people like Xiao Yao, and there is some intimacy.

At least there is no smell of smoke - compared to the Internet café in the small town of Jiangbei in his junior high school, Xiao Yao is very satisfied with the comprehensive ban on smoking in the Modu Internet Café.

"Do you want food? The lunch box is going to be cut, ten yuan per person! Eat, eat, eat! ......" An uncle in blue overalls with a scruffy beard passed in front of Xiao Yao with a plastic box in both hands and glanced at him: "Do you want food?" ”

"No thanks."

You're just asking for food.

Just kidding, a 10 yuan box of luxury dinners is enough to support 5 hours of happy gaming time, and I didn't win 300.

"Open a card, top up money." Xiao Yao took out a small plastic card from the side pocket of his schoolbag, knocked on the bar, and discharged the four big coins from his pocket.

"Is this a lottery win?" The front desk sister teased.

"I really won the lottery." Xiao Yao told the truth.

"It's time to run, rush 20?" The sister at the front desk operated the computer: "Don't leave some to buy the next issue?" ”

"Then let's charge ten dollars first."

Xiao Yao boarded QQ and couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he saw that Shen Jie didn't pass his friend verification request.

After taking a shower on Saturday morning, he went to the Canhua Internet café and added Shen Jie's QQ with the last two yuan in the card, which has not passed for two days.

Don't mean it, right?

It's to say, what can you do with a mobile phone number, and what do you say, "Ask us to go".

He went to ask her daughter - the number he got was actually 158xxxxxxxx, isn't this, how can there be a mobile phone number starting with 158 these years?

"Ahem!" The sudden coughing sound in the headphones startled Xiao Yao.

The girl named "oO Shuho Oo" passed his verification request.

Xiao Yao clicked on her avatar, typed in a HI, and then deleted it again, closing the chat window.

Don't make it look like I've been waiting......

Shen Jie's QQ space is very clean, so clean that it doesn't look like words.

Generally speaking, for a beauty of this kind of appearance, QQ space should be full of all kinds of selfies.

Shen Jie's photo album only has two, one album is her own paintings, and the other album is some pictures of karate gyms and archery clubs, Xiao Yao found a few photos with herself in them, very few.

There are very few talks and logs, I'm afraid it's not a trumpet?

Xiao Yao was just about to take a closer look at the logs, but he felt that there was a person standing behind him.

He stiffly and slowly turned his neck, praying in his heart that it was not his grandmother or Teacher Yao.

Thankfully, he didn't see anyone.

It's just that the feeling of being stared at is stronger again......

Forget it, it's not appropriate to stay for a long time today, let's still be in the wind.

He typed a meaningless expression into Shen Jie's QQ dialog box, and then went to the front desk to get off the plane.

The attitude of the sister at the front desk was a little different from just now, she was talking to Xiao Yao with gossip without content such as "I'm leaving so soon today", but on the other hand, her eyes seemed to be looking at the position he had just vacated.

Xiao Yao followed her gaze curiously, but was dragged back by the instruction of "Someone will come to check your ID card from tomorrow, you will come back next week".

"What? Check again?! ”

-- Dividing line --

Grandma, as usual, sat at the entrance of the corridor with a small bench, shaking a fan in her hand, and chatting with other old women about melon seeds.

"Yao'er," the old lady of the Jin family's face wrinkled like a ball, holding a hookah in her hand: "Listen to your grandma, have you got a girlfriend?" ”

Xiao Yao threw a dissatisfied look at his grandmother, but the latter pulled over an empty small bench and motioned for Xiao Yao to sit down.

"What's wrong?"

"The little girl you brought back yesterday isn't from your school, right?" Grandma said with a mysterious expression.

“…… No. Xiao Yao said.

"It's from Beihong Technical School, right?"

"What!" Xiao Yao moved his ass a little uneasily.

"Hair dyed, right? Have you done your nails too? Grandma said confidently: "The pants are so short that I run outside, and my butt is about to be exposed......"

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

Grandma wanted to speak and stopped: "It's a good thing to make friends, I won't interfere with you, but you must not learn badly......"

"Oh, how is that possible......"

Xiao Yao's words hadn't yet spoken, but his grandmother's eyes went straight over his shoulder, and then stood up tremblingly: "Yingying! ”

What? Xiao Yao subconsciously turned his head and saw Yu Luying biting her lip standing at the corner of the alley.

She was wearing the summer girls' uniform of St. Francis of Assi: a white-and-pink short-sleeved sports T-shirt and sports trousers of the same shade. The baggy leg covers the plain white daddy upper, revealing only a pair of toes. Her hands clenched the straps of her bag, and even in such a wide coat, her proud chest continued to rise and fall slightly.

"Grandma, you sit down." Yu Luying walked a few steps quickly, stepped forward to support her, and glared at Xiao Yao again: "Why don't you answer the phone?" ”

"Nong hasn't been here for a long time......" Grandma took Yu Luying's hand and asked for warmth.

Seeing Yu Luying looking at him, Xiao Yao hurriedly shouted: "Grandma! ”

"Grandma, I'm here to take Xiao Yao to do his homework." Yu Luying said softly.

"Cut the rice first, cut the rice first," grandma took Yu Luying's hand and walked towards the entrance of the building: "I made braised pork today!" ”

"Don't want it, I've eaten it," Yu Luying repeatedly excused: "Let's go to the library to do our homework." ”

"You've eaten it, but I haven't." Xiao Yao said happily.

After being coaxed and deceived by the old and young people, and tied upstairs with push and pull, grandma went to the alley to make soy sauce, and Yu Luying was blocked by Xiao Yao from his bedroom door.

"Wait, I'll get you slippers." Xiao Yao said this, pushed the door open a small crack, and got into it himself.

After entering the door, Xiao Yao saw that Shen Tianyun was not there, so he opened the door with confidence: "Come in, I forgot that we don't need to change slippers at home." ”

Yu Luying twitched her nose in confusion, but took two steps back: "No need, I'll help grandma." ”

She was about to turn her head to leave, but the large closet door in the bedroom opened a crack outward, and a white thigh followed by a small foot in slippers poked out, then an arm and a smooth shoulder, and finally a handsome side face under the unkempt hair.

"Hey, your cabinet door is stuck, come to do me a favor?!"

Xiao Yao almost fainted on the spot, and Yu Luying also looked at Shen Tianyun in amazement for several seconds.

"Excuse me." Yu Luying blushed and dropped these three words, and she was about to flee.

"Don't, you listen to me." Xiao Yao reacted sensitively and grabbed the other party.

Yu Luying shook off Xiao Yao's arm vigorously: "Release!" ”

"Is it Xiao Yao's brother's classmate?" Shen Tianyun finally squeezed out, straightened the vest and shorts on his body, and stepped forward with a smile: "Sit, sit." ”

Yu Luying was pushed to the sofa by two people again and sat down, her hands resting on her knees.

"Brother, you take good care of your classmates, I'll make her tea!" Shen Tianyun was about to go out.

"Don't drink, don't drink, I'm not thirsty!" Yu Luying said hurriedly.

"That's right, brother," Shen Tianyun turned to Xiao Yao and said, "Where is your tea can?" ”

"I'm going to soak, I'm going to soak." Xiao Yao understood and trotted out.

"I'm Xiao Yao's cousin, and I'm just looking for something in the closet." Shen Tianyun sat next to Yu Luying and said for Xiao Yao.

"He's not...... Don't have a cousin? Yu Luying blurted out.

Hehe, you even know this, huh?

"Oh, far away, far away."

Yu Luying rubbed her chin, obviously not believing it.

"Ahem, say," Shen Tianyun changed the subject: "Sister, what's your name?" ”

"My name is Yu Luying." Determined, she replied softly.

"You're Yu Luying?!" Shen Tianyun's eyes widened, and she subconsciously stood up and shouted.

"What's wrong?" Yu Luying was very strange: "You know me?" ”

"No...... It's nothing ......" Shen Tianyun, who realized his gaffe, sneered: "Xiao Yao often mentions you. ”

"Oh." Yu Luying didn't ask, "What do you say about me?" ”

"Sometimes, I call your name when I sleep and dream at night!" It's so dead, Shen Tianyun added another sentence.

Yu Luying looked at her in surprise, and Shen Tianyun realized that she had said the wrong thing: Wouldn't saying this make people feel that she had spent the night with Xiao Yao?

Actually, this sentence is the truth - Shen Tianyun has indeed seen his parents quarrel a few times, just because his father shouted the name "Yu Luying" when he was sleeping.

She was just about to think about turning her words back, but her heart moved: if Xiao Yao is kept away from this "bad woman", it will be beneficial and harmless to herself and her mother.

After figuring out this section, Shen Tianyun didn't say anything, but cast a provocative look at Yu Luying.

Sure enough, Yu Luying stood up with a flushed face: "I'll go back." ”

"Don't sit down again?" Shen Tianyun said with a smile.

At this time, Xiao Yao's voice came from the soap sheet room outside the bedroom door: "My God, why are you here?" ”

Then, the voice was deliberately muffled, but still faintly audible: "How did you find here?" ”

"I want to see her," a crisp lolita voice said, "is that okay?" ”

Xiao Yao's voice: "It's really not convenient today......"

Yu Luying wiped the corners of her eyes with her fingers: "It's very convenient, let your friends come in." As he spoke, he strode open the bedroom door.

Xiao Yao looked at this side in dismay, along with a small beautiful girl.
