In October, the creeper in front of Beiyao's window withered. Bei Yao crossed the 38 line drawn when she was a child, pulled the eraser from Pei Chuan's pen box, and quickly put it on the desk of the boy at the back desk.
The boy said dryly, "Thank you."
Bei Yao held her chin and looked at Pei Chuan. There was a smile in her eyes, like summer flowers blooming brightly outside the window. Pei Chuan glanced at her, then returned to the boy at the back table: "No thanks."
Her eyes gradually lit up, and she was laughing secretly throughout the class.
After discovering that Pei Chuan was not so scary, the spectacle classmates at the back table sometimes even asked Pei Chuan for questions.
Beiyao also listened, now she can keep her grades among the top three in the class. One is to rely on the memory of a few years ahead, and the other is to rely on hard work. She often starts to do homework as soon as school is over.
Bei Yao found out that Pei Chuan was very smart, especially smart.
He can solve a math problem in many ways. When explaining it to people, he doesn't like to talk, so he writes the steps for people to see.
But the steps are simple and clear, making it clear at a glance.
Bei Yao exclaimed, how could he be so smart!
When he graduated from elementary school in 2002, Pei Chuan was the first in his grade. The young and young girls under the plane tree put together a photo, and the elementary school career is over.
The summer vacation in sixth grade is long and leisurely.
Zhao Zhilan spent this year under Zhao Xiu's provocation, similar to "What's the use of your girl's grades, my girl's slender and beautiful like'Chang Xue' is amazing".
Zhao Zhilan came back from work and looked at Bei Yao, who was still carrying a baby fat on her cheeks: "Yao Yao, your aunt has a dance class, why don't I send you to dance?"
Bei Yao shook her head: "I missed my age, and I can't learn well now."
Mainly Bei Yao doesn't like her mean aunt. The family of her uncle borrowed money from her family, and hasn't repaid a cent for more than three years, and won't repay it in the future.
"How can it be possible to stay at home on vacation? It is necessary to exercise." There are few girls in the community, Fang Minjun is cold, Bei Yao and Fang Minjun can't go together, so they spend more time at home during vacation.
"Then I will dance with the plate, okay?"
"Sure, I will buy two more plates tomorrow."
At that time, the Internet was far less developed than that of later generations. Beiyao's family had a DVD player, and you could watch videos when you put it in a disc.
Bei Yao's house is on the third floor, and Pei Chuan's house is on the fourth floor opposite.
They all live on their side, and they can see each other as soon as they open the window. It's just that Pei Chuan's room has a small balcony, which was separated by curtains when he was nine years old, and Bei Yao couldn't see him.
With the sun shining on the floor at the end of July, Pei Chuan accidentally opened the window and saw the blue bluebells blooming in front of the girl's window.
They are like little bells, lively.
There is only one old vertical fan in Bei Yao's room. She jumped out of breath and opened the window to breathe. The floor of Pei Chuan's house was higher, and he inadvertently lowered his eyes and saw Bei Yao who was dancing on the opposite side.
She stretched her limbs, with the tenderness and grace of a young girl, with her arms raised.
Because she was afraid of heat, Bei Yao wore a small green vest.
Her movement caused the vest to move up, revealing a dazzling white waist and a small and cute belly button. She was obviously not slender, but her amputation was soft and slender, and she couldn't hold it well enough.
Pei Chuan's face changed, and he closed the curtains with a "brush".
During the whole summer vacation, Bei Yao never saw the opposite curtain opened again.

The aerobics has no effect, and the girl grows according to the original trajectory in time.
Although Zhao Zhilan was disappointed, she also understood that these could not be forced. In the beginning of the small promotion in September, the junior high school in City C was farther away from home, a full 40-minute journey away from the elementary school.
Another thing Beiyao is gratified is that she and Pei Chuan are still in the same class.
The seventh grade of junior high school is a junior high school experimental class.
The number of acquaintances in this class has decreased a lot, because this class is based on the final exam results of the sixth grade of elementary school. Classes 7 and 8 are experimental classes, and the rest are ordinary classes.
Chen Hu gloriously entered the sixth class, and he still sits firmly on the bottom of the sixth class.
There are also many acquaintances in Class 7, Fang Minjun, Hua Ting, and Li Da who came in from the back of the crane. Everyone is a classmate.
Chen Hu almost cried because of this, and all his peers in the community had entered the "Study Ability Class", except for him.
He was beaten by Father Chen again.
On the first day of junior year, students can choose their own seats.
Hua Ting happily held Bei Yao's arm and sat with Bei Yao. Bei Yao glanced at Pei Chuan subconsciously. He didn't know when a girl with short hair and long skirt sat down beside him.
Bei Yao was stunned, feeling a little dazed in her heart, and suddenly thought that she should be happy for Pei Chuan.
She couldn't see whether Pei Chuan would like to be at the same table with herself again, but the "38 line" of six years in elementary school made her always feel that Pei Chuan did not like herself very much.
When Pei Chuan was in elementary school, he was in a wheelchair. Everyone knows that he has a disability in his leg. Now that we have arrived in a new environment, and there is no such thing as Chen Hu who is speechless, Pei Chuan is naturally close.
The young boy has a clean appearance, tall and thin after putting on the prosthesis, his temperament is cold, and he can always be seen in the crowd.
Now in this class, no one knows that Pei Chuan has no legs and he can get along with people like a normal person. Once you have a good start, it will get better and better.
Bei Yao thought for a while, really happy for him.
The young girl sitting with Pei Chuan is called Zhuo Yingjing. She was transferred to junior high school in the next city. Most of the young girls have their own playmates. Few people are empty around. Although Zhuo Yingjing is a little shy, Still sat down beside Pei Chuan.
"Hello, my name is Zhuo Yingjing, what is your name?"
Pei Chuan had a sullen face, he looked back, he had obviously sat down in the first row at the window, but Bei Yao stopped coming.
Do you think you finally got rid of his disability
Pei Chuan is in a bad mood and doesn't want to take care of the new tablemate at all. Zhuo Yingjing is not beautiful, but she is beautiful and has short hair. When Pei Chuan didn't talk, she was a little embarrassed, and she was no longer okay with troubles.
After publishing the book and Pei Chuan finished writing his name, Zhuo Yingjing exclaimed in a low voice: "You are the number one Pei Chuan in our class! I saw your grades. It was super good. Only the language deducted one point."
The boy's face was cold and childish, he closed the book, turned his head and looked out the window.
After an autumn rain and a cool day, a few leaves of the emerald phoenix tree faintly began to turn yellow.
Pei Chuan felt like a heavy plumbstone was pressed in his heart, making him want to lose his temper. The summer has not completely passed, C city is dry, he will not suppress not drinking water now, but the cup of water is prepared for Bei Yao, as if it has become a habit.
At dusk, he suddenly unscrewed the water glass, raised his head and drank a clean drink.
When school was over, Bei Yao was not with Hua Ting. She moved slowly to install a brand-new English book, and Pei Chuan's back disappeared at the door of the classroom.
"Huh? Pei Chuan..."
He used to wait for himself, but today he has gone far without looking back.
Bei Yao hurriedly packed his homework and pencil case and went in, carrying his schoolbag to chase him. With a flick of the red panda, the pen in the pencil case also slammed.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Pei Chuan pursed his lips with a hint of discomfort and coldness, and walked forward sullenly.
"Pei Chuan." The girl's voice was sweet, and she was panting, "Wait for me."
The setting sun pulled them away, and Bei Yao finally caught up with him.
"What's wrong with you? Don't you want to go home together?"
He said coldly: "You and Hua Ting will go back."
Beiyao Myolie was puzzled: "Hua Ting's house is not in this direction."
He became even more angry: "Don't follow me, are you annoying."
Bei Yao was a little sad, she didn't understand why Pei Chuan was angry, and the girl was also a little wronged: "My home is in this direction."
Since childhood, Pei Chuan had only two emotions, either cold or fierce.
Now he is in a fierce state. If he doesn't walk fast, his prosthetic leg will not be abnormal at all, but today he seems to be angry and walks forward quickly.
When passing by Li Da and Chen Hu, Chen Hu was confused. Damn, this person who walks super fast and awkwardly is Pei Chuan
Until the first week of school, Pei Chuan and Bei Yao did not reconcile.
On Friday afternoon, the first team was on duty, including Pei Chuan.
On Pei Chuan's desk, the book was messed up by the classmate who placed the stool, Zhuo Yingjing's eyes lit up, helping the cold deskmate organize the book.
Among them, there was no Chu River and Han boundary drawn out coldly by a young man.
Pei Chuan took the mop back, his face suddenly became cold: "Who asked you to move my things!"
He has dark pupils, a little scary when he is not smiling. Zhuo Yingjing was shocked: "I just help you manage..."
"No need," he said.
"Why are you doing this!" Zhuo Yingjing is a little girl after all. She has been extremely aggrieved by Pei Chuan's cold face these days, "I am obviously kind and want to be good friends with you."
The classmates scrambled for brooms at the back door of the classroom, and the classroom was quiet for a while.
The phoenix tree dropped a few leaves, and the autumn wind began to rise.
He bends his lips, and the boy's cold face is somewhat ironic: "Be friends? Are you going to be friends with a disabled man without legs?"
Even if the child didn't say anything, her eyes fell on Pei Chuan's legs, and tears suddenly appeared in her eyes. Jiang Wenjuan actually understands why, it must be because of his legs.
She hugged him tenderly, and then smiled: "Mom is going to cook, you can eat in a while, does Xiaochuan have something to eat?"
Pei Chuan shook his head, his black eyes looked at Jiang Wenjuan's busy figure quietly and sensibly.
Pei Haobin didn't go home until the evening. He was arresting a drug offender recently, and he was often busy late at night. After he came back, the atmosphere of the whole home was quiet for a second.
Pei Chuan's family has a color TV set in the living room, which was considered a rare thing in 1996. Jiang Wenjuan was watching a singing show with Pei Chuan. Pei Wenjuan did not turn his head, but Pei Haobin took the lead and said, "I'm back."
He first looked at his tired wife, and then touched his son's little head.
Pei Chuan raised his head to look at his father, Ming Che didn't have the slightest hatred in his eyes. Pei Haobin felt a slight pain in his heart.
Jiang Wenjuan blamed him for influencing Pei Chuan, and the two quarreled within short distances.
Some time ago, both of them were busy one night, Jiang Wenjuan was the chief surgeon of emergency surgery, and Pei Haobin was still working. They both thought that they had picked up Pei Chuan, but only when they came back they realized that neither of them had gone. Jiang Wenjuan cried hysterically all night that night.
Although Jiang Wenjuan and Pei Haobin introduced their marriage, they were very sweet when they first got married. Especially after Pei Chuan was born, such happiness reached its peak, but Pei Chuan broke his leg later, Jiang Wenjuan couldn't help but hate Pei Haobin.
She hated her husband for harming her son because of his work, and let the child be cut off by criminals when he was four years old.
Jiang Wenjuan was heartbroken when he saw Pei Chuan who was covered in blood.
Pei Haobin found that the kitchen didn't leave him a meal, so he had a meal and finished a bowl of noodles by himself. After eating, he came to talk to Pei Chuan for a while, what did he ask, what did the little boy answer, he was very sensible.
Jiang Wenjuan looked at him coldly. At nine o'clock in the evening, she wiped Pei Chuan's face and told him to go to bed.
The boy's hand grabbed the corner of her dress.
"Mom." He looked up, "I want to take a shower."
"You didn't have much activity, it's not very hot today, and your body isn't dirty. Let's wash it another day."
Pei Chuan pursed his lips: "I want to take a bath."
He didn't tell Jiang Wenjuan the reason for the quarrel with Chen Hu. Jiang Wenjuan curled his eyebrows and boiled water for him after all.
She undressed Pei Chuan and put the thin boy in the tub.
Pei Chuan's black eyes looked at his ugly stump and didn't speak.
Jiang Wenjuan also saw it. It was almost an unbearable pain in her heart. However, she couldn't let her young son wash it herself. She patiently washed him, dried the water, and then took him to sleep.
Jiang Wenjuan still asked before going to bed: "Don't hold back if you want to pee, tell the teacher and mother, do you know?"
"I know." He said softly, "Mom, you can tell me a story."
Jiang Wenjuan just smiled and said okay, someone knocked on the door outside: "Doctor Jiang! Is Doctor Jiang there?"
Pei Chuan watched her mother hurry out and never came back.
He could not hear the story, and turned his gaze calmly to the other side of the wall, where the scale was previously marked with chalk. You can measure the height of a child. In the past, every year he was older, his parents would take him to measure with joy.
Later, Pei Haobin wiped it away with tears, leaving only a vague trace.
Pei Chuan opened his eyes and closed his eyes for a long time.
He understood that he would never grow as tall as his father.
~
August 3rd is Fang Minjun’s birthday. Teacher Xiao Zhao took the whole kindergarten children to sing her birthday song.
Bei Yao sat in the crowd and sang her little hands. She looked around and found that Pei Chuan hadn't come to school. Of course, Chen Hu hadn't come either. She was very anxious, why didn't Pei Chuan come to kindergarten
Bei Yao asked Teacher Xiao Zhao, and Teacher Xiao Zhao said: "Mother Pei Chuan said that he will not come to kindergarten anymore. In September, she will send him to preschool directly."
Bei Yao was dumbfounded.
In her shallow memory, she knew about this preschool. The preschool is in Yubo Primary School, which is a bit far from the kindergarten and not in the same direction.
Like in his previous life, Pei Chuan failed to finish kindergarten.
Teacher Xiao Zhao sighed, she felt sorry for Pei Chuan, but she also understood that Pei Chuan was not suitable to stay here.
Because all the children in the kindergarten had seen Pei Chuan fighting, there was no color in his dark eyes, pretending to be cold to the world. He bit Chen Hu's madness and frightened all the children.
Xiaobeiyao was very sad.
She was thinking about it on the way Zhao Zhilan pulled her home. Zhao Xiu knocked on the door in the afternoon, holding a half-slap-sized cake in her hand.
Zhao Xiu had high cheekbones and very thin eyebrows. As soon as she entered the door and handed the cake to Zhao Zhilan, she pinched Bei Yao's small face.
Beiyao blinked her big eyes and shouted, "Aunt Xiu."
Zhao Xiu smiled and said, "Yaoyao still feels comfortable on her face. Come and show her to her aunt. I heard that you were ill before, and you haven't gotten thinner. This small face is round and you are blessed at first sight."
Bei Yao looked at her mother subconsciously.
Zhao Zhilan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, but Zhao Xiu continued: "Oh, unlike my Minmin, she doesn't grow meat. Although everyone says she looks like Chang Xue, she looks good when she grows up, but I look at Yao. Yao looks cute."
Zhao Zhilan smiled and said, "Just kidding, your family Minmin looks very good."
Zhao Xiu left with satisfaction after receiving the praise of Minjun from the other side.
Chang Xue is a well-known Hong Kong star this year and has made many movies. When Beiyao was in elementary school, she still liked this comedy movie of a good-looking actress. In 1996, Chang Xue was called the "Jade Girl", and Fang Minjun, whose eyebrows and the seven-pointed image of Chang Xue, was called the "Little Jade Girl."
Bei Yao faintly felt that something was wrong, but her memory stopped in the third grade, and she couldn't remember what was wrong.
She thought frustratedly, she is so fleshy, Fang Minjun's child is indeed light and beautiful.
Zhao Zhilan was even more angry. She herself was slightly fat, so she was afraid of being said that Zhao Xiu used a soft knife every time she was born. What happened to having a daughter like Chang Xue! It's not really Chang Xue, the kid, it's her Yaoyao who looks cute and cute.
Bei Yao stepped on tiptoe to get the cake on the table. Zhao Zhilan said, "I just ate the cake. If I eat the cake, I can't digest it, and I will have a stomachache."
That cake is a hard butter cake, also called a margarine cake. Zhao Zhilan was reluctant to buy it, and their family had to support the young and old. Most of Baiyao’s birthday is to buy a pack of fruit candy and cook a bowl of syrupy eggs.
