On Saturday, Shi Yi went out alone again.
Yu Zhiyi still stayed in his room, studying and consolidating over and over again. She envied Shi Yi's memory and thinking ability, but she couldn't do it, she could only make up for it with diligence.
During her own defined breaks, she would check to see if there was anything to do at home, such as taking out the trash.
The trash can in the living room was full, Yu Zhiyi simply took a big bag and put away the trash in the living room, kitchen, and bedroom.
She hardly ever enters Shi's parents' room, but Shi Yi's room is "under her control" and can come and go at will.
Strangely, she found grey dust on the edge of the garbage bag, which was… soot
Only Shi's father smoked occasionally at home, how could there be soot in Shi Yi's room
Shi Yi... doesn't smoke.
Once doubts arise, I want to find the answer. There wasn't much garbage in this trash can. She casually found a pair of disposable chopsticks, pulled it twice, and found a small cigarette butt underneath.
Yu Zhi pursed her lips tightly, packed up all the rubbish, and mentioned it downstairs to throw it away.
Shi Yi went out in the morning and didn't come back until the afternoon.
As soon as Yu Zhi heard the door open, she turned on her phone and glanced at the time, guessing that it should be Shi Yi coming home.
When Shi Yi arrived home, he first knocked on Yu Zhiyi's door and told her before going about his own business.
Shi Yi was studying some gadgets on the balcony recently. Yu Zhi put down the book in his hand and went to the balcony.
Shi Yi turned to stare at her.
Yu Zhiyi rubbed his eyes casually, "I'm tired from reading for too long, take a break."
He didn't say a word, just focused on his own business.
After a while, seeing Yu Zhiyi still standing beside him, Shi Yi asked, "One by one, help me get some scotch tape and put it in the desk drawer."
"it is good."
She pushed the door in and opened the drawer on the left.
Shi Yi suddenly burst in, his voice a little impatient, "Wait a minute!"
Yu Zhi turned around and looked at him suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Shi Yi took two steps forward. Seeing that the drawer was still closed, he breathed a sigh of relief, but said, "It's okay, I don't need that thing now."
"Okay." Yu Zhi nodded with a smile and left the room obediently.
As soon as Yu Zhi walked out, Shi Yi quickly opened the drawer, took the cigarette case and lighter, and put them in the schoolbag.
Yu Zhiyi, who returned to her room, closed her eyes tightly, and the pictures that appeared in her mind were all the scenes she saw when she opened the drawer.
Cigarette cases, lighters, everything makes sense.
At school, she knew that some boys smoked, but Shi Yi never had these bad habits. Now I just don't know when he learned this kind of thing, and he deliberately hides it from everyone.
No wonder he's been having a bad time...
With the first breakthrough, Yu Zhiyi paid more attention. Perhaps, Shi Yi recently went to an Internet cafe to play games, not just a hobby of games.
The next day, Sunday, Shi Yi was ready to go out at that moment.
Yu Zhiyi ran to the door holding the book and stopped him, "Brother, are you going out to play by yourself again today?"
"What's wrong?"
"I can't do some questions, can you teach me?"
"Okay." Without any hesitation, he responded to her request, put down his shoes, and accompany her back to the room to study.
In order to "occupy" Shi Yi's time, she deliberately found a few problems to summarize, but these problems were quickly solved in Shi Yi's hands.
Yu Zhiyi had to sigh at his cleverness, "Brother is too powerful, I can't do it after thinking about it for a few hours, you can do so much in an hour."
Shi Yi held a red ink pen and circled the key formulas, "These questions generally don't appear on the exam paper. If you want to get good grades, you don't need to struggle with these questions."
"You also said it's normal, in case there are special circumstances." The little girl is articulate, and every word makes sense, "It's always good to learn more knowledge."
"Okay, it's good that you have this idea."
"I'm just going to trouble my brother. Is my brother going out to play with friends today? Is this a missed appointment?"
Shi Yi put down the pen in his hand, pretending to be relaxed and joking with her, "You just thought of this question?"
"Ah... I was thinking of asking for help at the time." Even if she did it on purpose, she couldn't admit it in front of Shi Yi!
Shi Yi shook his head, and the words in his heart blurted out, "It doesn't matter, one-one has never been my multiple-choice question."
"what?"
He froze for a moment, covered the scratch paper in front of her on her original test questions, and instructed in a deep voice, "Let you memorize the formula, and you can directly apply it when you encounter the same problem in the future."
"I have all the formulas written down, but when I use them, my head can't turn around."
"But I have a brother who will teach me."
She put all her trust in him.
Looking at the girl who bowed her head, held a pen and studied hard, the young man's mind sank.
He controlled the mobile phone with one hand, and changed the content of the sentence "arriving late" originally sent to "friends" to "don't go".
The agreed weekend to go to the Internet cafe to start a group, but when Yu Zhiyi needs him, he will stay without hesitation.
In Shi Yi's mind, Yu Zhiyi was never a multiple-choice question, but the only answer.
This weekend, Yu Zhi discovered a lot of secrets, and after returning to school, she was more concerned about Shi Yi's behavior.
I don't know if Shi Yi was just trying to smoke on a whim or had already developed this habit. The more she tried to find out, the less she could find his flaws.
He was in school from Monday to Friday. After the self-study the next night, Yu Zhi went back to the dormitory and Shi Yi went home. There was no interaction during this time.
I went to the cafeteria to eat at noon, and I couldn't see anything else in such a short time.
Shi Yi was the same as before, she couldn't figure out the problem, she could only pretend she didn't know.
In the afternoon, Yu Zhi wanted to check the materials, so he took time to go to the library.
She searched and searched, and finally picked one. However, just as she reached for the book, the person standing on the other side of the bookshelf exerted force at the same time.
Turning his head to look, it turned out to be Liao Zhewen.
"Squad leader." She shouted, a little surprised, it was too coincidental.
When Liao Zhewen saw it was her, he politely pushed the book towards her, and said generously, "You can take it."
"Thank you, squad leader, I just want to check the information inside and I can give it to you when the time comes."
"If that's the case, then I'll wait."
The two found a seat against the wall in the library and sat down. Yu Zhiyi held two or three books and flipped through them at the same time. Liao Zhewen sat opposite her, with his arms wrapped around his neck and his head resting on his arms.
The surrounding environment is harmonious and peaceful, and this picture looks particularly warm.
Jiang Yuran didn't expect to see such a "wonderful" scene when she came to the library to return books. She quietly raised her mobile phone and photographed and saved this scene.
Back in the classroom, she pretended to mention the topic of the library inadvertently, and suddenly stopped talking halfway through.
Jiang Yuran's body leaned towards Shi Yi, "Shi Yi, is your sister in love?"
"Are you dreaming?" Shi Yi glanced lazily at her, but didn't take it to heart.
"I'm not talking nonsense! If you don't believe me, look!" Jiang Yuran was afraid that he would regard himself as a villain who deliberately spread rumors, quietly put his mobile phone under the table, opened the photo album and handed it to him, "Look, I'm not talking vernacular. of."
Shi Yi glanced at it and returned the phone intact, "Male and female classmates sitting face to face in the library is puppy love? Monitor, I really doubt how you got those scores."
The implication is that she is forcibly subduing her intelligence!
"Shi Yi, I'm just kindly reminding you. Isn't Yu Zhiyi your sister? I'm also worried about her, so I'll tell you about it."
"Don't bother the squad leader." He obviously didn't appreciate it.
Yu Zhi's birthday is approaching, this time her roommates have learned to be smart and are going to celebrate her in advance.
I don't know who mentioned "Yu Zhiyi's birthday" in the class, and everyone will congratulate him first, regardless of whether it is today or not.
"Happy birthday to you in advance."
"thanks."
"How old is your birthday this year?"
"sixteen."
"Wow, so young, I'm going to be an adult."
"Reading to read earlier..."
In addition to congratulations, there are also some strange questions, but everyone is well-intentioned.
In order not to delay her study time, my grandmother also came to the city ahead of time to have a meal with her, which was regarded as a birthday celebration.
Before leaving, the grandmother secretly stuffed her a red envelope, saying that it was the money that Ruan Qing called specially.
Five hundred yuan, five hundred yuan.
Yu Zhiyi didn't refuse, just put away the money temporarily.
Before she was a minor, her parents had the responsibility of raising her, they could not raise her, but could only provide money to support her basic life.
Ruan Qing's life after reorganizing her family seems to be better than before, and she bears her tuition and accommodation.
When she was injured by her father, she hated Ruan Qing, why did she choose her sister but not her
But now she doesn't hate anyone, she is grateful to Ruan Qing for providing her tuition. She just wanted her to look forward to the care of her parents with a sincere heart like before, she couldn't do it.
Yu Zhi carefully recorded every single amount of money, thinking that when he was able, he would double the amount of money back.
After Yu Kai went to work in the province, he seemed to have lost contact. He didn't call home, and he seemed to have forgotten his daughter's birthday.
It's just that when Ruan Qing called him every few months to urge him to pay part of the child support, it could prove that Yu Kai was still living well.
On Yu Zhi's 16th birthday, Qiao Lezhi brought a bag to the classroom of Class 16 to find her and gave her a birthday present as in previous years.
"Yiyi, I have carefully observed what you told me last time. Shi Yi has been really strange recently..."
The two little heads leaned against each other and chatted for a long time. The more Yu Zhi understood, the heavier his heart became.
You can't judge whether a person is good or bad by smoking, drinking and playing games, but she felt that Shi Yi shouldn't be like this.
After a long time, Jiang Yuran also found clues.
She smelled cigarette smoke on Shi Yi several times. At first, she thought it was contaminated by staying with those boys, but she accidentally saw Shi Yi holding a cigarette in his hand.
At that time, she glanced at it, and Shi Yi responded very quickly and put away the things.
At first, she thought it was a bit incredible, but then she thought about it, this might be a good opportunity for her to get closer to Shi Yi.
Jiang Yuran has always disliked those kind of soft and soft girls, feeling that they are pretentious and hold their posture.
She played well with the boys in the class, and with the position of supervisor, she had time to communicate with every classmate in the class.
Jiang Yuran successfully entered the group of boys, and even asked to join them when he heard that they were going to an Internet cafe to play group games.
It's a pity that Shi Yi didn't go to Internet cafes to play games with them during this time.
Shi Yi's game operation technique is very sharp, everyone likes to play with him, and he can also bring points. Now he shies away every time.
When someone asked why, Shi Yi only said, "Learn."
"Didn't he never use his spare time to study..." Jiang Yuran was puzzled.
She and Shi Yi have been at the same table for almost a semester, and she has never seen Shi Yi studying hard in his spare time. Everyone knows that he is a gifted scholar. He is serious in class and really rests during breaks.
This is laziness in the classroom, but it happens that I go home to study on weekends
No one knew the reason, only Yu Zhiyi knew.
After she knew that Shi Yi went to Internet cafes every week, she changed her mind and wanted to keep people. Then she found that she did this kind of thing very smoothly, because basically as long as she opened her mouth, Shi Yi would not refuse.
What's more, as the end of the semester approaches, the learning atmosphere is even more tense.
At home, Shi Yi would sit next to her and act as a teacher, supervising her to complete the prescribed study tasks.
This is the case until the end of the final exam.
When the final exam results came out, Yu Zhiyi's ranking in the liberal arts rose to the top 20.
During the winter vacation, Yu Zhiyi wrote back a bunch of homework from morning to night, and completed everything in a week.
The rest of the month will be fun.
During the Spring Festival, she was going home to spend the New Year with her grandmother, and Shi Yi also went to her grandparents' house with her parents, as usual.
Grandma cleaned the house early, and when Yu Zhi came home, the bed was replaced with new ones.
"Grandma, didn't you say that you will clean up together when I come back?"
"Oops, you are busy with your studies, I don't want you to do these things."
The old man is still very distressed about the child, one old and one young are talking and laughing.
The people in the yard moved two households, and the rest are old people and left-behind children. I heard that as soon as Yu Zhi came back, the adults asked about the child's final exam results while they were chatting in the yard.
Grandma said proudly, "My family has passed the top 20 exams in the whole school!"
There is no need to be top-notch, this is already a proud achievement, and everyone praises her for being smart.
But these people don't know how she insisted on getting to this point.
During dinner in the evening, my grandmother deliberately mentioned Ruan Qing.
"This year your mother said that she would come back for the New Year."
This is Ruan Qing's hometown in the end, she will still come back to see her relatives, and take the "husband" back to her hometown to recognize her relatives.
Hearing this news, Yu Zhiyi gave a soft "um" and didn't ask too much.
Her mother is also her grandmother's daughter. She has no reason to prevent her daughter from seeing her mother, and she is not afraid to see Ruan Qing now.
The day before New Year's Eve, Ruan Qing showed up in town with her husband and little daughter.
Mr. Zhao carried a lot of New Year's goods in his hand, and his grandmother warmly invited the son-in-law into the house.
Ruan Qing was dressed stylishly and looked younger than before.
Ten-year-old Yu Xinyan's body began to twitch, she grew taller and became slimmer.
However, she has now changed her name to Zhao Xinyan.
Speaking of which, Zhao Xinyan was her sister with the same mother and father, but now they were standing together like strangers.
She doesn't know how to deal with this younger sister... A younger sister who is favored by her parents.
Ruan Qing deliberately sent a large bag into her room and opened the gift in front of her, including clothes and some daily necessities.
"One by one, mom bought you some things. I think the girls over there like them. Do you like them?" Ruan Qing eagerly wanted to use them all for her.
There was no joy in Yu Zhi's eyes, but he politely and politely refused, "Thank you, I don't need to spend money in the future, I have enough things."
When Ruan Qing heard this, she sighed deeply and took the initiative to take a step forward, trying to take her daughter's hand, but afraid of her rejection, she could only stand half a meter away from her.
Ruan Qing asked, "One by one, are you still unwilling to forgive your mother?"
Yu Zhiyi shook his head and downplayed his past pain, "I don't blame you anymore."
Just, no wonder.
Ruan Qing felt a deep sense of powerlessness in the face of this eldest daughter. The daughter who used to be well-behaved and coquettish will probably never be close to her again.
"Mom bought these things for you, you can keep them." After saying this, she turned around and left, for fear that her daughter would refuse.
Yu Zhiyi watched the hurriedly fleeing back, and closed her eyes deeply, feeling a little tired.
I don't know when, Zhao Xinyan suddenly walked in, randomly picked out all the gifts in the bag and placed them on the bed, while picking them out, she said, "Sister, you are too ignorant, those things cost a lot of money. !"
"Should I be grateful for Dade's acceptance of everything I spent money on?"
"Che, they all praised you for being obedient and sensible, but I didn't see it. They also asked me to learn from you, you obviously have such a weird temper!"
Zhao Xinyan seemed to look down on her, and Yu Zhiyi felt a sense of injustice in her heart, "What qualifications do you have to criticize me?"
"You who have been loved since childhood and who have never been abandoned, what qualifications do you have to criticize me?" She stared at Zhao Xinyan, and the life of this well-dressed, carefree little girl in front of her was shaped by her. sharp contrast.
Yu Zhiyi suddenly became serious, and that look made Zhao Xinyan look terrified. Zhao Xinyan hurriedly threw the thing in her hand and ran out of the room.
Yu Zhiyi took a deep breath and eased his mood.
It was undeniable that she also had resentment towards Zhao Xinyan, her younger sister.
Some people say that the choice of adults has nothing to do with children.
Yes, but it was her parents' choice that made her the most obvious contrast with Zhao Xinyan!
She is not a saint who sees through the red dust, how could she not be jealous.
In fact, she has been jealous of Zhao Xinyan since she was a child.
For the New Year's Eve dinner, Yu Zhiyi helped her grandmother and mother cook a table of delicious dishes.
In order to strive for performance in front of the elderly, Mr. Zhao also diligently entered the kitchen to help.
The steaming meal went abroad, and when Yu Zhi put the plate on the table, she saw Zhao Xinyan lying on the sofa as she liked, holding the remote control in her hand, and staring straight at the TV.
She just glanced and looked away.
During the meal, Zhao Xinyan only took meat and not vegetables, Ruan Qing forced some vegetables into her bowl, "Yanyan, you can't have a partial eclipse!"
Zhao Xinyan refused, and she acted coquettishly at the man next to her, calling her father affectionately, as if she was really the biological daughter of some Mr. Zhao.
What was Yu Zhiyi thinking at that time
Oh, maybe it's because she's not lively enough and doesn't act like a little sister, so she's been ignored all the time.
never mind…
Really, forget it.
At twelve o'clock on New Year's Eve, she and Shi Yi exchanged "Happy New Year" on their mobile phones. This was the first thing she encountered in the new year, and it made her happy!
—
Before you know it, most of the winter vacation has passed.
There are ten days left for school, and Yu Zhiyi plans to return to the city a week early.
Shi's father and Shi's mother have returned to work, so only Shi Yi is left at home during the day
"Grandma, I'm going to the city in two days."
"Go, go, study is the most important thing, and take care of yourself when you get there."
"Uh-huh."
She was packing at home when Jiang Mi'er suddenly called her.
"Er?"
She was a little strange when she received the call, after all, Jiang Mi'er was the kind of person who would never call when she had nothing to do.
After a while, Jiang Mi'er's voice came from the phone, and there was a louder background voice, "One by one, do you know what I saw in the Internet cafe!!!"
It sounds like she is a little excited and incredible
Jiang Mi'er has an active temperament and can easily drive the atmosphere. Hearing her voice makes me feel good.
Yu Zhiyi put the freshly folded clothes aside and asked, "What did you see?"
"I saw Shi Yi smoking here! I didn't even know he would smoke in an Internet cafe!"
Jiang Mi'er knew that she was a scumbag. In their eyes, an excellent student like Shi Yi had nothing to do with these things, but she saw it with her own eyes, so she felt novel.
Yu Zhi stopped picking up the clothes, paused, and said seriously, "Erer, I ask you one thing."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Zhiyi was quicker to pack up.
She pulled out a box at the corner of the bed and picked it up, when suddenly a small pocket fell out and landed beside her feet.
Yu Zhi bent down and picked it up, opened it and saw that it was a bell.
A bell that doesn't make a sound.
In the afternoon, Yu Zhiyi said goodbye to her grandmother with her schoolbag on her back, "Grandma, I have to go back early. Next time I come back to see you, you can come to see me when you want me!"
The old man patted his granddaughter's hand kindly, "Go, go, take care of yourself."
After getting on the bus back to the city, Yu Zhi opened her schoolbag, took out a few red ropes from it, and knotted and weaved them.
When she reached the finish line, her red rope had just been braided and bells were strung on her wrist.
—
Perhaps because of the Chinese New Year, students are on holiday, and some people have not yet started work, and the Internet cafe is full of people.
As soon as Yu Zhi found out from Jiang Mi'er where Shi Yi and his friends often came, the smell was too stuffy as soon as he walked in.
She still remembered what Shi Yi said before that he hated the smell of this place, but he is still here now, and... became a member of the place.
When she found Shi Yi, all those people were facing the computer, operating the keyboard and mouse with passion.
And the person she was looking for, with a lit cigarette between her fingers, was hit by her.
Light smoke lingered around his mouth, and there was no light in the boy's eyes, because he couldn't see the direction of the future.
Someone found her and quickly pushed the arm of the person next to her, so the group of people who knew Shi Yi looked at her one after another.
Among them, there is actually Jiang Yuran.
"Yo, this is... younger sister Cha Gang is here?" Jiang Yuran put her finger on the mouse and smiled at her with a joking tone.
Yu Zhiyi ignored her and walked straight towards Shi Yi. No matter why he became like this, she just wanted to stop him when she knew what she saw.
"Stop smoking, okay?"
Shi Yi's eyes moved slightly, his expression dark and unclear, and the cigarette was still between his fingers, burning with a little bit of fire.
Jiang Yuran stood up from the seat and said something to persuade her, "Oh, it's normal for boys to play games and smoke."
It is because of Jiang Yuran's "understanding" that he can get along with these boys, and looking at the eyes of those boys, he seems to think so too. In their eyes, it is really normal to go to Internet cafes to play games and smoke.
But Yu Zhiyi was unmoved, did not refute her words, just looked at Shi Yi.
"I'm sick," she said.
With just one sentence, the boy immediately snuffed out the cigarette butt, "Okay, no smoking."
The author has something to say:
Some people may be wondering, how could someone who is smart enough to want to hang out with these people
In fact, he didn't want to be like these people, he was just stuck in a dead end. He felt that whatever was fine, he would want to try things he had never experienced before.
I've seen it in reality. It's obviously an excellent scholar in our eyes, but later it became worse than ordinary people. It's a pity
But my brother has one and one, I hope they will be successful
