The rumors were soon overshadowed by the hectic and heavy study tasks, and the days were due for the mid-term exams.

Shen Rujing, who ranked 86th in the last grade, happened to be placed in the third class on the 6th floor, which is very close to the classroom of this class.

After the exam in the afternoon, the teacher let everyone go to eat in advance, and the boys and girls ran like crazy to grab the food, while Shen Rujing squatted next to the flower bed downstairs, waiting for Qiu Xiaoshi to go back to the classroom to get something.

The autumn colors are pleasant, the sky is high and cool, the ginkgo trees next to the teaching building are golden and brilliant, and the ground is full of thick ginkgo leaves, like a pile of gold, and there is a soft mud-like touch when stepping on it.

Shen Rujing squatted, playfully played with leaves, collected a thick stack, and prepared to take it back to make bookmarks.

Suddenly, she heard a faint 'meow' sound, Shen Rujing raised her head sharply and looked at the place where the sound came from, it turned out to be a kitten with orange patterns, which looked to be only two months old, a small group, playing in the flower bed.

Unable to resist the temptation of furry, Shen Rujing stretched out her hand and beckoned, and her mouth also made a 'meow' sound, trying to attract the cat's attention.

And the little orange cat also gave face unusually, meowing weakly in response, while tentatively stepping on the leaves.

The moment she touched the kitten's fluffy head, Shen Rujing's whole heart was about to melt.

The kitten seems to have only been born for a few months, soft and tiny lumps, perhaps because there is no cat mother to take care of it, it is very thin, and you can almost see the bones through the thin layer of skin, and the hairy head is becoming more and more large and out of place.

Shen Rujing touched the little kitten's head distressedly, the little orange cat rubbed her palm, and gently opened her mouth and licked her fingers, slightly itchy, as if begging for food.

She frantically opened her school bag, found the bread she had brought with her to cushion her stomach, tore it apart and fed it to the kitten, who seemed to have not eaten for several days, was very hungry, and ate the vegetarian bread quickly.

She was a little annoyed that she didn't bring some ham sausages or something with her, so that she could at least feed the kittens.

On the way to the playground with a basketball, Jiang Shaoyu looked around boredly and saw such a picture.

First, Jiang Shaoyu pushed Song Xun with his elbow, but failed, and then snatched the spinning basketball in the opponent's hand, and Song Xun cast an impatient gaze.

"Your little tablemate." Jiang Shaoyu's chin gestured.

Song Xun lifted his eyelids and looked over, and saw the girl's focused side face, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were warm and soft, her brows were slightly frowned, and she looked at the cat in front of her lovingly, feeding with one hand, and gently rubbing the cat's chin with the other hand.

The girl and the cat, the picture has a bit of the beauty of the stability of the present world, like a bewildering gentle evening breeze, which makes people stop and indulge.

And Ji Ze on the side was holding a pack of biscuits and a few ham sausages in his hand, and he was still complaining, "I really don't understand you, what's so fun about playing basketball, isn't it fragrant to skip the evening self-study and go out to play, they can't care about us......"

Then the ham sausage in his hand was taken away, and Ji Ze was dumbfounded, "Hey, Song Xun, what are you doing robbing me of dinner?" If you want to play basketball, I can't even eat a snack! Don't go too far! ”

"GO BACK AND GIVE YOU TWO GLOW PLAYERS." Song Xun dropped two sentences without looking back.

Ji Ze stopped talking instantly, this is the hottest game machine that has just come out recently, it is priceless in the market, even if he asks for 100,000 yuan, it is difficult to find it in the market, only Song Xun has the way to get two.

Not only did he not complain, but he also diligently opened his bag and found a few packs of snacks, "I still have a lot of them, do you want to?" You can lend me your Survier2045 for two weeks. ”

Song Xun didn't bother to pay attention to him, and walked straight to the girl's side.

Shen Rujing noticed that there was a shadow covering her vision, and when she looked up, she saw the young man against the light, still holding the ball in his hand, his collar slightly open, lazy and wanton, and even the mole under his neck could be seen.

"Take it." His voice was loose and lazy.

As soon as he let go of his hand, the two ham sausages fell, and Shen Rujing took it and saw that it was all English letters that she didn't recognize, the kind that she hadn't even seen in the school supermarket.

"No additives." Song Xun added.

Shen Rujing understood that there were no additives to feed the kitten, and I don't know how much better than the bread on her body.

"Thank you." Shen Rujing thanked softly and watched Song Xun leave and return to the crowd.

When the group left, Jiang Shaoyu also whistled at Shen Rujing, "Let's go, little beauty." ”

He grinned, and the pure sunny smile on his face was hard to make people feel bad, even if it was a flirtatious action like whistling, it was clean and not greasy.

Shen Rujing responded a little overwhelmed, "Bye-bye......"

Then she saw Song Xun's lazy kick and kicked Jiang Shaoyu's knee and leg quickly.

"Don't put that on her." Song Xun warned in a low voice.

Jiang Shaoyu covered his chest exaggeratedly, "Is this this to protect Song Shao, our friendship for more than ten years is actually no better than the little beauty who has only known each other for a few months, it hurts, what ......am I in your heart?"

"Shut up." Song Xun's face was expressionless, "If you force me again, you will go to the opposite side of me." ”

Jiang Shaoyu took the words in an instant, no longer acting, without him, Song Xun's terrifying suppressive power on the basketball court is something that all boys don't want to encounter.

Whoever goes to him will be crushed and overwhelmed, the kind that can make people quit basketball and tremble when they see Song Xun's legs.

Shen Rujing quietly finished feeding the kitten, until the kitten ate the whole ham sausage cleanly, snuggled in her palm, and meowed, she didn't dare to feed it again, for fear that the kitten would eat too much and have problems.

"I don't know if you have a name, let's give you a name." Shen Rujing lowered her head and gently stroked the kitten's thin back, using her fingers as a comb to smooth out the knotted miscellaneous hairs little by little, "Why don't you call you Xiaoqiu?" ”

Meeting you this autumn is like a gift from heaven.

In the tedious and heavy schoolwork, the kitten is a touch of color in the gray life, and it has become one of the few joys for Shen Rujing to pet the kitten before every evening self-study.

Shen Rujing would bring a little food, sometimes it was ham sausage, sometimes it was chicken that she couldn't eat, wash it with water, put it in a plastic bag and bring it over to feed the cat.

Today, she finished feeding the kitten as usual, but was stopped at the door of the classroom, "Jingjing, I want to talk to you about something." ”

Shen Rujing frowned, it was Ding Yiting, who asked her to help find Song Xun to ask for contact information before, she couldn't refuse to agree, she thought it would be over after giving the contact information to the other party, but she didn't expect to suddenly find the door again today.

Shen Rujing was a little uneasy, she didn't know what thoughts the other party had to toss her, she promised the other party last time, and she did have some thoughts of calming things down.

In the three years of junior high school, she was tossed and commanded by Ding Yiting, and she was often responsible for the sanitation in the dormitory, and she was instructed to run errands to help buy things.

She knew that Ding Yiting was very well-connected inside and outside the school, her family was well-off, her uncle seemed to be one of the school directors, there was once a girl in the dormitory, she had a strong sense of justice, she couldn't get used to her bullying Shen Rujing like this, and choked Ding Yiting in public, and the next day she heard that the girl had an accident on the way home on the weekend, and was beaten into the hospital by a gangster who didn't know where...... Later, I changed schools.

She was scared, she was scared every night, but she didn't dare to tell the teachers and parents, just comfort herself and get through it, and bear everything silently, Ding Yiting said what she did, fortunately, Ding Yiting would not be too much to the people who obeyed her, Shen Rujing thought that she would get rid of all this when she went to high school.

It is true that in the first two years, Ding Yiting seemed to have forgotten that there was a roommate who had been bullied for three years, until she came to the door recently.

"Shall I go in first?" Qiu Xiaoshi let go of the hand holding her, and her eyes signaled.

Shen Rujing nodded, and then followed Ding Yiting to the corner of the staircase where no one was around.

"What's the matter?" She spoke detachedly.

Ding Yiting sighed, first reached out to hold Shen Rujing's arm, trying to break the stiff atmosphere between the two, "Okay Jingjing, can you do me another favor, can you help me make an appointment with Song Xun this Sunday?" ”

"......" Shen Rujing had a headache, "Can you tell Song Xun yourself?" I remember that I had already given you the contact details. ”

Ding Yiting's face was bad, "I added him before, I just said his name, and before I could say anything else, he deleted me." ”

"There's no way, I don't reply to him when I text and call, I can only ask you, Jingjing, you are my only connection in the first class, we are still roommates in junior high school for three years, you will definitely help me, right?"

The tone in the back is close to coquettishness.

Shen Rujing thought about it, but still declined, "I'm sorry, I'm not very familiar with Song Xun, I think it's better to ask him out, it's better to tell him in person, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to study first." ”

After speaking, she turned her head and wanted to leave, but Ding Yiting firmly grabbed her wrist, the other party's strength was very strong, and her wrist hurt for a while.

"You have to help me!" Ding Yiting finally stopped pretending, revealing her arrogant and domineering true colors, "Otherwise, I will report that you and Song Xun are in early love!" ”

Shen Rujing first felt ridiculous, and then wanted to laugh, not knowing what the eldest lady was talking nonsense, "...... Do you think the teacher will believe it? Song Xun and I were originally ordinary table mates. ”

Ding Yiting sneered, "I saw you feeding the cat with Song Xun before, and secretly went to a no-man's place for a tryst after class, isn't it puppy love?" I still have evidence of taking pictures, so if I don't want to be reported for suspension from school, I will do as I say. ”

She raised her mobile phone, Shen Rujing's eyes were very good, and she recognized her figure in the photo at a glance, as well as Song Xun.

It was obviously taken secretly, and at first glance, the two were very close to each other, and she tilted her head, as if she was leaning her chin on the teenager's thigh, and the gesture was very intimate.

Even Shen Rujing, who has always been good-tempered, became tough at the moment, "Ding Yiting, don't you think that your actions are equivalent to rumors?" ”

Ding Yiting seemed to have heard something funny, "Rumors? What did I make, I just need to post the photo on the forum, you say, will the fans of Song God tear you up? The teachers received an anonymous report, and then checked the monitoring to take a look, and found that Song Xun had borrowed your school uniform, tsk. ”

Shen Rujing's eyelids jumped, "How do you know about the school uniform?" ”

Ding Yiting sneered, "How many people in the whole grade have their eyes on Song Xun, he didn't wear a coat all day, and you obviously have an ill-fitting school uniform on your body, when we are blind, we can't see this?" ”

Sensing that her tone was a little sharp, she softened again, with a smile on her face, and she was kind and seductive, "Am I not good enough for you Jingjing, if it weren't for the dedication of your three-year roommate, I wouldn't have such a good attitude at all if I changed someone else, Jingjing, you won't live up to my kindness, right?" I didn't ask you to do anything, just help me ask Song Xun to come out. ”

Shen Rujing was silent for a while, and then said dryly: "What if I refuse? ”

Ding Yiting's smile retracted, her expression was slightly cold, and her voice was still sweet, "Oh, then I don't know what will happen." Song Xun is the darling of teachers and principals, what are you? If he is reported, he must be fine, so what will the teachers think of you? ”

She slowed down her speech, undisguised malice word by word, "Auntie received a call from the teacher and came to the school to take a look, oops, my good daughter, why is she still in love with other male classmates, I remember that you were admitted with a scholarship, right?" In case the school decides to withdraw your scholarship quota, 100,000 yuan in three years, I don't know how many pairs of shoes your mother will have to sell to earn it back. ”

Every time Ding Yiting said a word, Shen Rujing's face became more and more pale.

She is not afraid of Ding Yiting to report, she can confront her in court to prove her innocence, but she can't afford the consequences if the school doesn't trust her. Whether it is to ask the parents or to withdraw the scholarship place, it will be a catastrophe for her.

Shen Lihua opened a small shop in the vegetable market, selling shoes, selling bargains such as sandals and slippers, a pair of shoes only earns three or five yuan, winning by quantity, leaving early and returning late, and telling uncles and aunts that dry saliva is just to earn those few yuan.

For the tuition fee of 100,000 yuan, Shen Lihua had to sell 20,000 pairs of slippers to earn it back, not including living expenses, booth fees, etc......

Seeing Shen Rujing's vacillation, Ding Yiting added another dose of fierce medicine, "You help me make an appointment with Song Xun, I will never look for you again in the future." ”

Shen Rujing glanced at Ding Yiting deeply, tugging back and forth in her heart, and finally made up her mind, "One last time, don't come to me again in the future." ”

"Okay, no problem." Ding Yiting smiled easily when she saw that she had achieved her goal, "As long as you do it this time, I won't trouble you again." ”

Shen Rujing pursed her lips, knowing that such a guarantee was meaningless, but she could only bet on the other party's weak sense of credibility and bet on the other party's words.

She was prepared for the worst.

"Sunday at three o'clock in the afternoon, the café next to the school, you can help me make an appointment here." Ding Yiting smiled brightly, and did not forget to signal the mobile phone in her hand again, "Do as I say." ”

Shen Rujing returned to the classroom with heavy steps, step by step as if she had fallen into the center of the swamp, and the muddy black mud dragged her.

Song Xun, who was by the window, was holding his head with his left hand and a black pen in his right hand, with a somewhat careless attitude.

He did the questions very quickly, almost glanced at them for a few seconds and came up with the answer, and the scratch paper next to him was clean.

Song Xun had helped her several times before, and she had also helped her in embarrassment when feeding the kittens, but now she has to be calculated by her.

A sense of guilt came to his heart, as if he was aware of her gaze, Song Xun turned his face slightly and looked over.

"What's the fuss?"

He said, seeing that Shen Rujing's face was not quite right.

Shen Rujing stood in her seat, wanting to speak, her throat seemed to be choked by a stone, and every syllable spit out was extremely dry, "You...... Are you free on Sunday afternoons? ”

Song Xun recalled that Jiang Shaoyu said that there was a party on Sunday and asked him to come, but his expression remained unchanged, "What?" ”

Shen Rujing pursed her lips, her voice lowered, "I...... I don't know some questions, can you please help me with my homework then? ”

Her mind was very confused, with guilt and anxiety burning her conscience, and anxiety about being reported and spreading rumors, and the two sides were intertwined, and she didn't realize that what she said was ambiguous and abnormal.

For example, just tutoring homework, self-study classes can be done, and there is no need to make a vacation appointment at all, it is more like a private invitation under the guise of studying.

Song Xun stared at her meaninglessly for a long time, so long that when Shen Rujing thought that the other party was going to refuse mercilessly, the corners of his lips lifted, "Okay." ”
