Chapter 12: The Mermaid
At least this time, the mobile phone number that Shen Tianyun gave Xiao Yao is in line with the characteristics of this era.
In the morning, Xiao Yao had been texting with Shen Jie under the table.
Shen Jie didn't return in seconds, but she didn't return particularly slowly.
"Nourishing ββ!" The vibration of the cell phone made an alarming noise in the wooden desk.
Teacher Yao cast a sharp gaze, and the students in the front row also turned their heads, only Yu Luying did not move.
Xiao Yao hurriedly pressed the vibration out.
Hell, why did this vibration function turn on itself?
At noon, when Xiao Xiong came to the classroom to call Xiao Yao for dinner, he also saw him put his mobile phone in the belly of the table and press it.
"Falling in love?" Xiao Xiong sat on Xiao Yao's table: "Laughing with ...... It's like my second aunt. β
"Who laughed - you want to scare me to death!" Xiao Yao turned his face, cleared his throat, and closed the flip cover of his mobile phone: "Let's go." β
When he and Xiaoxiong arrived at the cafeteria, Hua Ang and Shen Bin had already bought their meals.
The two of them are friends of Xiao Xiong, and they are also from Class 4, so they have become Xiao Yao's friends.
"I heard, you kid got a little girl?" Hua Ang asked with interest.
"I'm C, really, the Iron Tree is blooming?" The pimples on Shen Bin's face jumped.
"Who did you listen to?" Xiao Yao glared at Xiao Xiong: "Xiong Ji, isn't it you?" I sent a message back to my grandmother at noon. β
"Don't pretend, you're not honest with us?" Xiao Xiong was dissatisfied: "I saw it last night, you walked with a very beautiful girl, and gave her a taxi." β
"You're stalking me?"
"I'm going to eat space, and I'm going to track you. (Note: "Yigang" is the dialect of the magic capital)," Xiao Xiong rolled his eyes: "I went out to play soy sauce and bumped into it." β
"Oh, don't call me either."
"You think I'm you, so uninteresting," Xiao Xiong frantically output and complained: "I said, that kind of Huashan sword-level beauty, you can't handle it, right?" Yu Luying didn't take a fancy to you, did she? β
"Why can't I do it?" Xiao Yao's neck stiffened: "I'll tell you, your hands are caught!" β
"Okay, I'm going to be fat. (Okay, don't brag)," Shen Bin commented: "I don't know who it was last week, and I never caught up with the female ...... when I cried with my brother."
"Cry You M ......"
"Don't talk about it, don't talk about it," Hua Ang interrupted Shen Bin: "So, is it from our school?" β
"No, the city's seven girls."
The three friends exclaimed, and a lively discussion ensued.
"Isn't that a noble school?"
"What aristocratic school, put P."
"I heard that there is a boy's class among the seven girls in the city, is it really fake? It feels so good! β
"Yes, yes, yes, I say that every three years we will recruit a boy's class."
"There's no such thing," Xiao Yao chewed the food in his mouth: "I asked her in the morning, and she said that it will be ...... in 69 years '81 or '82? There were boys, and the name of the school was changed to Magic City No. 7 Middle School at that time, and later 8 ...... One year later, she changed back to the middle school ......"
"I've heard that there will be some special classes for girls, is that true?"
"Yes," Xiao Yao is like an old expert sitting in the clinic: "It's like a Western food etiquette class, a tea art class...... What else? I'll take a look at it again. β
Xiao Yao said and took out his mobile phone.
"You dare to say that it's not an aristocratic school!"
"I heard that among the seven women in the city, there are beautiful women like clouds, known as the legend of the five beauties, the so-called South Lin and North Shen, East Yan and West Zhao, and Ouyang ......"
"Among the seven girls in the city, why aren't they the seven beauties?"
"I said, Xiao Yao," Xiao Xiong did not participate in the discussion between Hua Ang and Shen Bin: "Do you talk to her about this in one morning?" β
"Then what else are you going to talk about?"
"And what about her?" Shen Bin poked Xiao Yao's arm mysteriously.
"Who's going to do that." He followed Shen Bin's eyes and saw Yu Luying walking past with an iron plate with an expressionless face.
"Husband, know how to advance and retreat." Xiao Yao pretended to be an understatement.
The three friends applauded in unison.
After school, Xiao Yao followed Yu Luying to the burger restaurant next door to the commissary.
Spicy chicken leg burger, five bucks? β¦β¦ It's a bit expensive.
When Xiao Yao was still touching his trouser pocket, Yu Luying had already paid ten yuan and handed over a hamburger wrapped in a paper bag: "Is one enough?" β
"Oh, what's so embarrassing?" Xiao Yao stretched out his hand and took the hot hamburger: "It's not suitable, it's not suitable." β
"Let's go." Yu Luying looked around, as if she was afraid of being seen by others.
"Then, I'll invite you next time!"
Yu Luying knocked three times on the side door of the church, and an old doorman opened the door. As soon as I entered the door, the familiar smell came to my face.
The smell was inexplicable, somewhat close to the air in the school libraryβperhaps, the smell of an old mixture of wood, ink, and candles.
"Didn't you say go to the library?" Xiao Yao asked in a low voice.
"I thought about it later, it's not convenient for the library to talk too loudly, right? I will be seen by others at school, and I will definitely not be able to go to my house, and I will be pulled by my grandmother when I go to your house......"
"You...... Uncle isn't here, right? Xiao Yao was a little nervous.
"I'm visiting the sick, and I'm not here this week." When passing by the door of the "holy church" (note: the area where the liturgy is held in the church), Yu Luying drew a cross on her chest and bowed.
Xiao Yao's gaze was devoted to the profound sanctuary.
The church is not lit, the sanctuary is dark, and at the end of the aisle there is only a red light on the upper right side of the altar, and a faint light shines obliquely through the stained glass and falls on the cross.
The haggard face with the crown of thorns hanging from the cross disappeared into the obscurity of the world.
All the way forward, passing by the confession (note: confession) room, Xiao Yao heard a male voice talking inside.
"My morals don't allow me to think like this, my identity doesn't allow me to come here for help, what should I do......"
"Isn't your uncle here?" Xiao Yao's face was nervous.
"It shouldn't be there," Yu Luying was also a little confused: "Could it be that he came to the tree cave?" Or is there another priest coming? Let's go, don't eavesdrop! β
"In case it's your uncle, let's change the map," Xiao Yao shook his head vigorously, trying to dispel that terrifying memory: "Have you ever seen him carrying my collar......"
"You deserve it, who made you stalk me at that time," Yu Luying said: "You still dare to chase me to the hall?" β
"Ah, isn't the reason why you rejected me because I am a foreign teacher, and I can't do it if I want to follow the way of the Lord?"
"Flim tongue is useless, you know best what you want to do."
Stepping on the creaking stairs, Yu Luying took Xiao Yao up to the second floor and into a small room that looked like a reception room.
"I'll go to the bathroom." Yu Luying took off the strap of the schoolbag around her neck and put it on the small sofa.
"Okay."
Xiao Yao sat down at the table and casually flipped through the few theological books in his hand.
Suddenly, a piece of paper sandwiched in a book caught his attention - it was a piece of paper torn from a homework book, and the font on it was very familiar, most likely Yu Luying's.
Xiao Yao took out the note that Yu Luying threw to him yesterday from the side pocket of his schoolbag: "You go back first, don't wait for me, my orchestra is rehearsing." β
He narrowed his eyes and checked the handwriting on the two sheets of paper: That's right, this is what Yu Luying wrote.
Bubble
Listen to my voice
The voice of the shout
Lord, Lord, here I am
Blood is replaced by sound
Cry at the end of the world
I'm The Little Mermaid
It's a mermaid princess who can't turn back
Ariel turned into a bubble
β¦β¦
"Ah!!!!h Before Xiao Yao finished reading, there was a terrifying scream from behind him, and then, the paper on the table was snatched away by the splitter.
"Who told you to watch it? Who told you to peek without someone else's permission? Yu Luying was rarely emotional: "No, no, this is not a poem, this is just a ...... If you say it casually, it's ......"
"Don't be so excited, when we were in the poetry club last semester, we read each other's poems a lot." Xiao Yao shrugged in confusion.
"That's different! Dislike! A sucker! Bad! Don't just look at it! ......" Yu Luying stuffed the poem into her schoolbag with a flushed face, and muttered: "Why did it fall here...... Inexplicable......"
"That's right," Xiao Yao held his cheeks, "Our poetry club hasn't had club activities for a long time, right...... If it continues like this, it will be abolished. β
"Don't repeat a grade and worry about the club first, take out the math papers!"
"Hi-" Xiao Yao deliberately lengthened his voice and unzipped his schoolbag.
