At the end of the military training in the evening, Zhou and Sen called Lin Su to go to dinner together, but Lin Su said that Sun Yuanyuan was waiting for him and refused.

The disbanded freshmen and sophomores and juniors after school were disbanded, and the cafeteria was full. Lin Su didn't want to waste time queuing, so he went back to the dormitory to take a shower first, and then went to eat at a staggered time.

After eating, it was almost time for evening self-study, and she wanted to ask if there was any letter of her own before the mailroom closed, so she rushed to the back door of the school.

Because he was in a hurry, Lin Su walked very fast, almost running, but because of inertia, he couldn't dodge and bumped into someone at the door of the mailroom.

She knocked a letter from the man's hand to the ground, and when she reacted, she immediately crouched down and picked it up, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, I-"

Her voice stopped abruptly when she saw the other person's face.

Xie Jingyu's face was uncertain, and he reached out and directly took away the letter from Lin Su's hand.

"I'm sorry." When he spoke again, Lin Su's voice was much more restrained.

Xie Jingyu glanced at her emotionlessly, raised his feet to leave, and suddenly paused.

"Zhou and Sen." He spoke.

Lin Su looked up at him with puzzled eyes.

"That kid is stupid, don't beat his idea." Xie Jingyu said coldly

Lin Su's heart sank suddenly, and she felt like weightlessness inexplicably, she stiffened her face, took a deep breath, and replied in the same tone: "Don't worry, I won't." ”

Xie Jingyu's gaze swept over her face, and he seemed to snort coldly, extremely mocking.

The caretaker of the mailroom was about to close the door, Lin Su hurriedly asked if there was a letter of his own, and the uncle flipped through it and found a letter that did not write about the class and handed it over.

"Is that it?"

Lin Su saw his name and nodded hurriedly to take it.

took the letter and looked back, Xie Jingyu was no longer there. She pursed her lips and hurried to the classroom, stuffing the letter into her bag.

The evening self-study of No. 1 Middle School lasted from half past six to half past nine, and the three-hour time seemed very long, but it seemed hurried after being filled with papers in various subjects.

Perhaps only Lin Su felt that there was not enough time.

Compared with the knowledge of high school and junior high school, the difficulty has increased, as if she has directly evolved from a third-order Rubik's Cube to a fifth-order Rubik's Cube, and her knowledge base can't even reach the third-order Rubik's Cube.

The people who can be admitted to the first middle school are not ordinary people, and before the class officially started, Lin Su realized the gap between himself and the people around him. In a paper, half of the questions she can't do, and half of them don't know if they are doing it right.

Other classmates complained about the military training, but she felt that it was more difficult to study the papers in the evening than to stand in a military posture and kick the right step.

At the end of the second period, many people in the class got up and walked around. Lin Su sat in his seat, staring intently at a physics problem on the paper, his brows furrowed more and more, and he didn't notice that someone was standing next to him, staring down at her scroll.

"Do you want me to give you a tap?"

Someone around him suddenly spoke, Lin Su was startled, looked up, and saw Zhou Yousen smiling harmlessly.

After Zhou Yousen asked, he didn't wait for Lin Su to answer, he directly took the pen in her hand, drew a force analysis diagram on her scroll, and wrote a few formulas on the side.

"Got it?" Zhou Yousen asked.

Lin Su pursed his mouth, took his pen, and looked at him defensively.

"Is there something wrong?" Lin Su asked.

"It's okay, I'm just coming to talk to you after class." Zhou Yousen said very frankly.

Lin Su noticed that everyone in the class was looking at them intentionally or unintentionally, and she didn't like the feeling of being in the spotlight because of others, so she stood up, took the cup and walked out.

Zhou Yousen followed her, and said as he walked: "You have a question that you can't do, you can ask me, although my grades are not as good as Jing Yu, they are not bad." ”

"Really, I don't believe you asked you to be at the same table, I was in junior high school with her."

"My best subject is chemistry, English is almost good, unlike Jing Yu's guy, bilingual teaching since childhood, and her mother still speaks in English, obviously they are all Chinese."

"You've known him for a long time?" When he arrived at the drinking room, Lin Su put the cup on the water heater and asked.

Zhou Yousen was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Lin Su was asking Xie Jingyu, and then replied: "Compared with Xu Yuan, it is not a long time, their parents have known each other since they were children, and they grew up together since childhood, and Jing Yu and I became acquainted with each other because of playing basketball in junior high school." ”

"Don't look at him as if he is not close to anyone, in fact, when you are familiar, you will know that others are not bad."

Lin Su bowed her head, there is no need for Zhou Yousen to say, Xie Jingyu is also a good person in her heart, no, it is more accurate to say that she is a great benefactor.

The water in the water heater jumped to 100 °C, Lin Su unscrewed the bottle cap to fill the water, and heard Zhou Yousen ask: "I see that you don't talk much in class, are you still not used to it?" ”

"Nope." Lin Su replied simply.

"Then why don't you communicate more with your classmates?" Zhou and Sen persuaded him: "When you arrive at a new school, you have to make a few more friends, so that campus life will be more exciting." ”

This really seemed to be said by the head teacher, and Lin Su said bluntly: "I'm here to study, not to make friends." ”

Zhou Yousen was stunned.

Lin Su sighed in his heart.

She knew that Zhou Yousen had no malicious intentions, but his enthusiasm made people feel burdened, and she didn't want to get too close to him, lest Xie Jingyu think she had ulterior motives.

Thinking of this, Lin Su didn't plan to go down with Zhou Yousen anymore, she filled the cup with water and covered it, turned around and walked back.

After the third shift, I happened to meet Xie Jingyu who was standing in the corridor.

Zhou Yousen shouted, Xie Jingyu turned his head, and the moment he saw Lin Su, he quickly looked away, and he didn't even give her the afterglow.

Lin Su calmly withdrew his gaze and walked into his classroom.

Zhou Yousen walked to Xie Jingyu's side, put his hands on the railing, and his expression was unusually depressed.

He is usually very arrogant, and he can drive on it with thick nerves, Xie Jingyu was surprised, thinking that he was walking with Lin Su just now, he sneered lightly, and asked, "Kicked the iron plate?" ”

Zhou Yousen scratched his head and repeated what Lin Su had just said about not making friends, and Xie Jingyu understood after listening to it - what he said in the evening worked.

"Am I saying the wrong thing?" Zhou Yousen asked a little sadly.

Xie Jingyu replied indifferently: "Not everyone likes to make friends like you. ”

"You're talking about yourself." Zhou Yousen complained: "It took a lot of effort to get acquainted with you at the beginning, if it wasn't for your good ball, I wouldn't have bothered to take care of you." ”

"Finally willing to admit that I played my ball well?" Xie Jingyu said with a smile.

"That's it, it's still worse than me." Zhou Yousen was triumphant, he looked at Xie Jingyu, suddenly regained his vitality, and said optimistically: "I can even melt a big ice cube like you, Lin Su must be better than you." ”

Xie Jingyu heard Zhou Yousen compare himself with Lin Su, his brows tightened slightly, and he wanted to remind Zhou Yousen to stay away from Lin Su, so as not to be used by others later, but when he saw that he looked very interested, he gave up.

Zhou Yousen is not willing to give up until the Yellow River, Lin Su is like a plant like white grass and cattail, maybe he has to be cut a few times to understand, don't provoke her.

．

Some people are born to mix, and Zhou Yousen is such a person.

Just a few days after the start of school, when many people could not recognize the faces of the whole class, he praised the head teacher with his sunny appearance and cheerful personality, and the whole class was deeply impressed by him.

Zhou Yousen is undoubtedly the man of the year in Class 4, such a sunny boy, taking the initiative to talk to a girl like Lin Su who is so withdrawn that she doesn't fit in will naturally trigger a discussion in the class.

In the evening, Lin Su returned to the dormitory, took a shower and dried his clothes, and then sat at the table and continued to make rolls.

After Li Leyin finished blowing his hair, he sat down on a stool, took the mirror and began to wipe things on his face. She rubbed her face, glanced at Lin Su in her spare eyes, and suddenly asked, "You and Zhou Yousen knew each other before?" ”

Lin Su was calculating a math problem, and when he heard Li Leyin's words, he shook his head and answered.

"Why are you looking for you if you don't know him?" Li Leyin glanced at Lin Su's scroll, "I also taught you to do the questions." ”

"Before, he and I sent Yuanyuan to the infirmary and said two words." Lin Su said perfunctorily.

"Just said two sentences, and he picked you to go to the column?" Li Leyin looked at the mirror and said in a unhappy tone, "Obviously, there are more suitable for walking in the class." ”

Lin Su knew that Li Leyin was worried about not being able to enter the divided phalanx, so he didn't answer, and let her sulk on the side.

"The person next door said that he saw you eating with Zhou Yousen, Xie Jingyu and Xu Yuan a few days ago, is it true?" thought that if no one picked up, Li Leyin would stop, but she didn't plan to let Lin Su do the question with peace of mind, so she opened her mouth again.

Zhou Wan was about to take a bath with a change of clothes, when she heard this, she stopped, looked at Lin Su and asked in surprise, "You and Xie Jingyu have dinner together?" ”

Lin Su paused for writing the arithmetic and nodded calmly.

"How could you ......," Zhou Wan asked hesitantly.

Lin Su said: "If there is a vacant seat, I will sit." ”

Lin Su didn't say that Zhou Yousen called him over, which would trigger more unnecessary associations, but in fact they were really unfamiliar.

"Lin Su, you won't do it on purpose, do you want to have a good relationship with Xie Jingyu and them?" Li Leyin glanced at Lin Su, and his words were prickly.

"Nope."

"Then you're so positive." Li Leyin sneered, as if he was laughing at Lin Su's indiscretion, "You and them are not the same kind of people, and you can't play together." ”

Lin Su turned his head, looked at Li Leyin with his eyes without evasion, and asked expressionlessly, "Then what kind of person are you?" ”

"I ...... I'm not the same as you anyway. Li Leyin was a little weak under Lin Su's gaze, but she still stiffened her neck and said: "What I said is the truth, my mother said, this society is so realistic, don't believe it." ”

"I don't think I need you to tell me what reality is." Lin Su said coldly.

Long before others were in the carefree ivory tower, she was exposed to the ugly side of the world, what the reality was, and she didn't need to be taught.

The atmosphere in the bedroom was a little stagnant for a while, Zhou Wan's eyes turned around Lin Su and Li Leyin, and reconciled: "What reality is unrealistic, the reality we have to face now is tomorrow's training, what should we do?" ”

Sun Yuanyuan gnawed on the chicken rack, and also noticed the strangeness of the atmosphere, and immediately echoed with a sad face: "Yes, it is almost ten kilometers to the sewage treatment plant." ”

Zhou Wan: "It's so far, I'm afraid I won't make it to the end." ”

Zhou Wan and Sun Yuanyuan sang and harmonized, and finally diverted the topic.

Li Leyin didn't please Lin Su, so after wiping his face, he put the mirror on the table and went out, and he didn't know which bedroom he went to.

Seeing this, Zhou Wan took his clothes and took a bath, and Sun Yuanyuan continued to gnaw on the chicken rack.

Lin Su lowered her head and wanted to continue making the volume, but it was difficult to continue if her train of thought was interrupted, and her mind was no longer concentrated, and she diverged out to other places uncontrollably.

Although Li Leyin's words are ugly, they are right. In the past, in Nanshan Middle School, the students in the school were all from the same town, and although there were differences in family backgrounds, they would not be as big as the schools in the city. Although the campus is already the least hierarchical place for rich and poor, the class line has always existed, and it divides people into several layers in terms of clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

At a certain point in your life, you think you are a friend you have chosen on your own initiative, but it is actually the environment that has brought you together.

Without Li Leyin's reminder, Lin Su knew that he and Xie Jingyu were not people in the same circle. The study opportunity she longed for was a matter of course for them, and as long as Xie Jingyu was willing, she could easily change her life.

The gap between them is obvious.

Thinking of this, Lin Su felt irritated for no reason, she couldn't make the paper, so she took out the letter from the mailroom in the evening from her schoolbag.

The letter was sent to her by an older brother who also grew up in Chaling, and she called him Brother Xiao Zheng. Brother Zheng is four years older than her, and he is the last student from Nanshan Middle School to be admitted to Linyun No. 1 Middle School, and he has been admitted to the provincial university this year.

In the past, when Brother Zheng's family was still living in Chaling, Lin Su would often ask questions, and Brother Xiao Zheng would answer them patiently for her. After he entered high school, his family moved to the county seat, and they had fewer opportunities to see each other, so they kept in touch by writing letters, a habit that has remained until now.

Brother Xiao Zheng knew that Lin Su was studious, so he often gave her some problems in his letters and asked her to think about it. The reason why Lin Su made up his mind to apply for Linyun No. 1 Middle School was because of Brother Zheng's encouragement. He knows that knowledge can change fate, and reading is the best way for children in the mountains to go to the outside world, so he often tells her to study hard and go to a broader world.

Brother Xiao Zheng is a reliable brother to Lin Su, a reliable friend, and an example worth learning. She has an independent personality and never relies on people easily, but whenever she is confused, Xiao Zheng is one of the few people she will want to ask for.

Brother Xiao Zheng wrote about the colorful life in the university in the letter, and Lin Su couldn't help but yearn for it. After reading the letter, she took out a notebook from the drawer, tore off a blank piece of paper, and wanted to write a reply letter to share her life when she first entered high school.

She laid the paper flat on the test paper, thought for a while, and wrote on the paper:

Brother Zheng:

Zhan Xinjia!

I have successfully entered No. 1 Middle School, and I have also met the boy named Xie Jingyu mentioned in the letter last time, and it is the same as I guessed, because he did not want to see me because of what happened before.

Writing here, Lin Sudun penned, slightly trance.
