Falling Down the Pond

Chapter 12

As soon as the words fell, the bell tower of No. 6 Middle School rang in the distance.

Ye Qin counted twelve times with the bell, and said with some regret: "Ah... it's passed, and I haven't made a wish yet."

Cheng Feichi turned back and continued to push the cart. The snow piled up to ankle height on the path, leaving a series of footprints and a winding rut on the road. Ye Qin lowered his head and followed the footprints he left step by step, feeling that walking here is safer than walking elsewhere.

Because of the traffic coming and going on the road, the snow has not accumulated yet. Cheng Feichi got on the bike and just rode for three to five meters, when he heard Ye Qin muttering behind him: "Hey, why can't I ride?"

Looking back, the front tire was limp on the ground, as if it had been punctured by some sharp object.

Ye Qin's face suddenly collapsed: "No, it's unlucky just after my birthday."

Cheng Feichi stood up after the inspection, pushed a car forward with one hand. Ye Qin looked around to see if there was any place to stay on the side of the road, and he thought to himself: "At this hour, I can open the hourly room, and I can take a hot bath... Or go to the Internet cafe for a night? I have to call my mother Say."

He took out his phone and remembered something, and said to Cheng Feichi, "You should tell your mother too."

Cheng Feichi didn't make a move, nor did he respond to his words. Ye Qin took the lead in dialing the phone, and his tone of voice unconsciously contained some grievances: "Mom, I may not be able to go back tonight... The car broke down and a flat tire... It's so difficult to get a taxi at this point, so I just make do with it outside." It's late... It's okay, I have a classmate with me... It's not Zhou Feng, the class next door, you don't know... I didn't lie to you, it's really the class next door... "

Ye Qin's voice became lower and lower, and he seemed unhappy. After a while, he quickened his pace and walked up to Cheng Feichi, and handed him the phone: "My mother, let you listen to the phone."

Seeing that his earlobes were red, Cheng Feichi probably knew what happened, so he handed Ye Qin a bicycle and answered the phone: "Hello, auntie."

On the other end of the phone, Yeqin's mother spoke softly and asked them what trouble they were in and whether they needed help. After a few words of conversation, Cheng Feichi took the initiative to explain that he was a student in Class 2 (1) and was on the way to the car repair shop with Ye Qin. Ye Qin's mother probably heard him speak steadily and reliably, and told them to pay attention to safety, so she hung up .

Ye Qin put the phone back in his pocket, and asked hesitantly, "Shall we repair the car?"

Cheng Feichi let out a "hmm".

Ye Qin showed disappointment, like a playful kid who couldn't stay outside, he pouted and didn't speak.

The car repair shop was still the one near the No. 6 Middle School. From a distance, it was dark and dimly lit. It didn't look like anyone was there. Cheng Feichi walked to the door, held the latch and pushed hard, and the door opened.

Before Ye Qin could make a sound, he put his index finger to his lips and made a "shh" gesture, and said in a low voice, "The boss is sleeping in the back room, we will leave after repairing."

It was the first time for Ye Qin to sneak into other people's territory like this, and grabbed Cheng Feichi's clothes in panic and fear: "Is this considered breaking into a private house?"

Cheng Feichi thought to himself, didn't you have a lot of courage when you stabbed my tire with a knife? Deliberately scaring him: "Forget it, keep your voice down, don't let the boss find out."

So Ye Qin covered his mouth and didn't dare to vent his anger. With the other hand, he turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone to illuminate Cheng Feichi like a thief. He didn't realize that he was being tricked again until he saw the corner of Cheng Feichi's mouth raised.

Cheng Feichi immersed himself in grinding the tires, and said: "The boss is very nice. Before the car broke down on the road, I always went to him to repair it. After many times, he told me that the iron gate outside could not be bolted. If there is an emergency at night, you can just open the door." Come in."

No wonder the boss looked very familiar with him last time, Ye Qin looked around and thought, anyway, these things are worthless, there is nothing to steal

The room was very quiet, besides the swishing sound of the tire being polished, there was also the sound of the two people's intertwined breathing. Ye Qin couldn't help matching his breathing rate with Cheng Feichi's, and felt that his breathing was steady and long, like a turtle sleeping.

He was amused by his imaginative metaphor, and couldn't suppress his laughter for a moment, Cheng Feichi looked up at him, Ye Qin hurriedly restrained his smile, and said, "Didn't you just transfer to No. 6 Middle School, so you know the boss here so well? "

"From the High School Attached to Normal University to my house, we will also pass this road." Cheng Feichi paused slightly, "Don't you know?"

Ye Qin suddenly thought that the matter of investigating him had been discovered, but on second thought, he realized that it was impossible. He was obviously very cautious, so he calmly said: "Of course I know that you used to be from the High School Attached to Normal University. Who doesn't know that?" .”

After speaking, I was still a little worried, and asked tentatively: "Then have you...have you seen me before?"

Cheng Feichi lowered his eyes and stated flatly: "No, this is the first time in a convenience store."

Ye Qin dug a hole for himself to jump into, fell dizzy, recalled the few unpleasant confrontations before, and couldn't lift his head in embarrassment: "Before... it was my friend who saw that you were upset, so I just, just did a favor ,no other meanings… "

Of course Cheng Feichi knew that he didn't mean to make trouble for him, at most he was ignorant, and he was just helping a tiger. Although I still have doubts about his motives for hooking up with me, but I don't think there will be any shocking reasons, probably because I have heard rumors about myself, I think it is interesting and fun, and the novelty has not passed.

"What about now?" Cheng Feichi asked half-truthfully, "Is there something else?"

In the dark and quiet environment, the senses were infinitely magnified, and Cheng Feichi's voice was deep and deep, as if whispering in his ear when he was suppressing it. Ye Qin's face turned red. Fortunately, no one saw him in the room, and his heart began to beat wildly again, beating fast and slow on his eardrums, making him unable to hear his own voice clearly.

"Yes, there is another meaning." Ye Qinli tried his best to be upright and imitate him, "Don't you know?"

There was only a narrow beam of light from the mobile phone, which shone on Cheng Feichi's skilled hands, and the three-dimensional facial features cast jagged shadows on his face. Ye Qin furtively lifted the phone up little by little, trying to see his expression clearly.

When he saw his bushy eyelashes fluttering because of blinking, Cheng Feichi hid for a moment, took out a note pad from somewhere, and threw it into Ye Qin's arms: "Write a note for me, tell the boss I'm coming!" Repaired the car."

Ye Qin found a small stool, squatted there and wrote stroke by stroke. After finishing writing, he handed it to Cheng Feichi: "Teacher Cheng, please check if there are any typos."

The small face was raised high, obviously remembering Cheng Feichi's revenge for correcting the typo on his "love letter".

Cheng Feichi smiled imperceptibly, lowered his head to scan it, and ticked it with a pen, and drew a vertical bar and two circles in the upper left corner, a hundred points.

Walking on the road after repairing the car, Ye Qin tilted his head bewilderedly thinking: "No, our test scores for each subject are 150, you give me 100 points... just passed the passing line?"

Cheng Feichi said: "Well, if it was yesterday, I'll give you one hundred and fifty."

Turning his head to look at the clock tower, the hour hand was about to point to one point. Yeqin yawned reflexively, and murmured: "It's a great birthday."

Cheng Feichi saw that he was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, and his small body was shivering in the cold wind, so he rarely forced him to go home first: "Just now on the phone, I promised your mother to be responsible for your safety, go back quickly, I have to go too. "

Ye Qin's home is near the No. 6 Middle School. When he walked to the gate of the community, he still remembered to take off the gloves to Cheng Feichi and said weakly, "I'm here. You can wear them. I'll go buy... woolen gloves tomorrow."

Watching Ye Qin, who was shaking his head, push the car and swipe the access control card to get in. Cheng Feichi turned the car around and was about to leave when the person behind him suddenly remembered something and said loudly: "Mr. Cheng, I left something in your homework, don't forget look."

Cheng Feichi didn't take Ye Qin's words to heart.

The exam is approaching, even if he is sure, he should recharge his batteries and prepare well.

Ye Qin was probably also preparing for the exam, but he didn't show up for several days, and he didn't see him around the exam room, as if he had disappeared from the world.

Breakfast was delivered as usual. Once Cheng Feichi arrived at school early and caught him. The junior student said that he just took money to help with errands. The cards were prepared early in the morning, and one card was stuffed in every day.

It's very similar to Ye Qin's style of acting, being lazy if you can, and thinking about it as soon as you think about it.

The reason why he was able to wash dishes that day was probably because the young master had a sudden whim to experience folk life. I want him to experience the difficulty of making money and the hardships of life through this social practice. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a fantasy.

The end of the last exam is exactly the last day of December.

Cheng Feichi left the examination room early, returned home to sort out his books, and inadvertently found Ye Qin's dog crawling words among the pile of drafts piled up on the corner of the table: [158xxxxxxxxx, call me call me!]

There is also a chubby heart drawn on the back.

Tomorrow will be the three-day New Year's Day holiday. Except for the morning of the first day, Cheng Feichi has arranged a lot of work for himself during the rest of the time.

Tonight, he had an honest reason to go to bed late, Cheng Feichi took out the detective novel he hadn't finished before, and leaned on the bed to read it.

The hour hand of the bedside alarm clock was slowly approaching zero. He turned his eyes back to the book, turned a page back, read the first two paragraphs, and then went back to read it again.

Once again, I still couldn't concentrate, so I simply closed the book and turned off the light and lay down to relax the nerves that had been tense since the exam.

He is good at pictorial memory, and the string of numbers he glanced at just now can't get out of his eyes.

Less than two minutes before twelve o'clock, he took out the old-fashioned straight cell phone that was usually only used for phone communication from under the pillow, and clicked on the text message interface.
