After the Spring Festival, the weather quickly warmed up. Every morning when I opened the window, I could feel the air inhaled into my chest was warmer than yesterday.
There were less than three days left before leaving school. Some of the students were catching up with their homework, and some were taking all the time to play. Ye Qin was playing while copying homework.
Zhao Yue saved a round and called a group of friends for the last carnival before school started. Ye Qin and Liu Yangfan had an awkward quarrel years ago, which was not a big deal in their many years of bumps and bumps. As soon as the two met, they tacitly "dissolved their suspicions", head to head in the roaring music Copy homework together.
Ye Qin copied Zhou Feng's homework. Although his own grades were average, he could see that Zhou Feng's solution process for each question was complete and clear, and he matched the answers. The more Ye Qin copied, the more strange he felt, he raised a pen and threw it on Zhou Feng's head, interrupting his crying and howling, and asked him whose homework he copied.
"Squad leader." Zhou Feng held the microphone and said, "Two days ago I was making up lessons at his house, and I took it home and copied it all night when he wasn't paying attention."
Ye Qin lowered his head and continued copying, while correcting a few correct answers and making up the illusion that the homework was done by himself, he scolded Zhou Feng in his heart for failing the monitor's trust, he was simply not human.
He completely forgot how many times he had copied Cheng Feichi's homework through pursuit and remedial lessons.
Liu Yangfan didn't go as smoothly as he did. He was studying in an international high school, and the curriculum was very different from that of the No. 6 Middle School. Most of his homework during the winter vacation consisted of papers and practical reports. Zhao Yue's homework was basically worth copying. Among the gang members, there is a lack of a well-rounded true scholar, the kind who can write English papers.
Ye Qin inexplicably thought of Cheng Feichi. His English scores were also surprisingly good. I heard that he had participated in the English debate organized by the school.
Ye Qin, who had just given away the gift that had been hidden for a long time and felt that the relationship between the two had made a qualitative leap, naturally sent a text message to Cheng Feichi, inviting him to come to the club to play together.
Anyway, I always want to get acquainted, so I call everyone over to get to know each other first, so as to avoid the embarrassment of meeting in the future.
Cheng Feichi didn't reply until dark, Ye Qin thought he still remembered the incident of blaming him for stealing the watch last time, and thought to himself, don't you ask me to avenge your revenge, why are you so narrow-minded
Sent another text message: [Don't ignore me, at worst, the two of us will reopen a private room and stop playing with them]
Cheng Feichi still didn't reply.
Although Ye Qin was not happy, he used the excuse of "he's busy with part-time work" to suppress his idea of bombarding him with text messages, and persuaded himself to be a considerate and sensible suitor.
It was not until the first day of school that Ye Qin sent a text message saying that he needed to pay back the money, but there was no response from the other end, and he realized that something was wrong.
During the opening ceremony, the two of them were far away from each other, so they had no chance to talk, so they went to the first class of science to look for them in person during the break, and the teacher over there tried their best to delay the class. The classmate passed the note to Cheng Feichi in the back row for help.
Waiting, waiting, waiting until the big class break before the evening self-study, still did not wait for any form of reply, and went to the first class of science and did not catch anyone, I don't know where to go for dinner.
Ye Qin didn't believe in evil. In the first class of evening self-study, Liao Yifang went to the office to deliver things, and asked him to help deliver the corrected math test paper sent by the teacher to Cheng Feichi, and wrote a line of small words with a pencil on the score - " I'll look for you after class, Teacher Cheng." As a result, the bell rang here, and the quiz paper was sent back wrapped in a piece of paper. On the paper was Cheng Feichi's handwriting, densely packed with steps to solve the wrong questions.
In order not to meet him face-to-face, Cheng Feichi carefully listed the different solutions to each major problem, and also made comments on the side according to the reasons for the mistakes. He didn't mention a word about things other than his responsibilities. As a tutor, he can be said to be very strict and responsible. .
After evening self-study, Ye Qin suppressed his anger and waited for Cheng Feichi at the bicycle parking place, intending to ask him what he meant, but it was an empty wait. Cheng Feichi didn't ride his bicycle today and left directly from the main entrance.
Ye Qin couldn't figure it out. The last time we met, he was fine. He took the roses, and Cheng Feichi took the stars. After only a few days, they turned their faces and refused to recognize anyone
If he was angry because he accidentally mentioned his father in the hotel room, wouldn't the reflex arc be too long
It's not Yeqin's specialty to be sloppy and shameless, and he is already close to his limit to take the initiative to this point.
He gritted his teeth for a few days with the last air of a young master. In the second week of the new semester, the school invited some famous entrepreneurs and well-known alumni to give speeches to the students as usual, and all the students gathered in the auditorium in batches. Class 1 and Class 2 of science in the second year of senior high school are divided into one group, and the distance between the two classes is less than five meters when they are in a team.
Ye Qin wanted to see where you were going this time, but Cheng Feichi was nowhere to be seen in the first few rows if he didn't pay attention after entering the arena. His classmates said that he had something to leave early.
Since this was in a public place, Ye Qin resisted dropping his phone, his clenched knuckles turned blue and white.
Now that things have come to this, if you can't see that Cheng Feichi is deliberately avoiding him, then you are really stupid.
In the early spring, everything has faded from the gray and desolate winter, and the noisy playground without students chasing after it is quieter than the examination room.
Cheng Feichi walked out of the auditorium, walked across the runway and lawn, returned to the classroom, and casually opened a book on the table.
The reason for his early withdrawal was to prepare for the preliminary competition of the physics competition in March. Only he knew the real reason, because someone on the stage was about to speak.
He didn't want to see that person, but couldn't help speculating why he was here.
If I remember correctly, that person's business center is in S City, and he is not permanently stationed in the capital. During the Spring Festival, Cheng Xin said that he had already gone back, and now that he appeared in the auditorium of the No. 6 Middle School, he should indeed be invited to give a speech.
It is not known where he will go after the speech. The uneasiness in Cheng Feichi's heart intensified, and he couldn't persuade himself not to link the man's appearance with his own family.
After leaving the meeting early, Cheng Feichi asked the class teacher for leave, saying that he was worried about his mother at home.
Teacher Shen, the head teacher, hesitated to approve the leave note: "If you have any difficulties, you can tell the teacher. It is a bit difficult to apply for a student loan with an urban hukou, but it is not impossible."
Cheng Feichi knew that the teacher was worried that he would be reported after working outside the school, so he explained: "Don't worry, this time I really go home."
Arriving at the gate of Yulin Community, Cheng Feichi watched a black commercial vehicle drive out from the half-raised gate of the barrier, and the car body accidentally collided with the brake lever bracket.
The driver immediately came down to argue with the uncle in the security booth. There was a middle-aged man in the back seat. The door was blocked by the brake lever and he could not push it open. He opened the window and poked his head out to support the driver. He asked the security uncle if he knew how much his car cost. , How many broken gates can you buy him.
Uncle security guard has been working here for more than ten years, and he has never seen any kind of troublemaker, so he immediately responded with an eye: "If you know that the gate here is broken, don't drive here. There are surveillance cameras on it, and your precious car is going out. , the footage is clearly recorded, otherwise let's report to the police?"
The gesticulating man in the back seat lost his momentum, and the bullying driver was also speechless. Cheng Feichi saw that Uncle Security could not suffer, so he ignored this little episode and rode into the community from the sidewalk next to him on his bicycle.
Cheng Xin was a little surprised at his sudden return: "Didn't you say there is a lecture today, why did you come back so early?"
Cheng Feichi saw two cups of half-drunk tea on the dining table, still steaming, and asked bluntly, "Who has been here?"
Cheng Xin didn't evade, saying, "A friend."
Cheng Feichi couldn't ask "which friend". Cheng Xin is still in charge of this family, and he has no position to interfere with his mother's private life.
Cheng Xin has started to take medicine again for a while, and at this time she is in low spirits and looks a little tired. Cheng Feichi helped her back to her room to rest, and accidentally saw a book open on the desk in the master bedroom, with a photo in it.
The photo shows three people wearing academic uniforms, with the signboard of Capital Normal University in the background, apparently taken during the graduation season. The girl with shawl and long hair in the middle is Cheng Xin, and there is a boy standing on each side of her. The three of them are smiling and beckoning to the camera. Anyone can see that they have a good relationship.
Cheng Feichi vaguely remembered seeing this photo when he was a child, but he almost never saw Cheng Xin take it out to look at it these years. At that time, his attention was all on the taller boy on the left. Cheng Xin turned his body towards him and was very close to him.
Before he could think about it, the mobile phone in his pocket rang loudly, interrupting his thinking in an instant.
He took it out and saw that Ye Qin was calling. Cheng Feichi hesitated for a long time, but finally didn't answer.
After brushing the cup, Ye Qin sent another text message, but this time he didn't hold back his temper, and said in an ultimatum tone: [If you ignore me again, I will ignore you again!]
Cheng Feichi put down his phone, looked at the glass jar by the bed, and stood there for a while.
He admitted that he deliberately avoided Yeqin these days.
He didn't dodge or even give a response before, because he classified Ye Qin as a friend, defined the relationship between the two clearly, and was sure enough that he wouldn't go wrong. And after Valentine's Day, he found himself losing control of the relationship that he was comfortable with.
From birth to now, it is not an exaggeration to describe his life as following the rules, so he is naturally sensitive to things that deviate from the track, and his instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages allows him to automatically set up an invisible net once he senses that danger is approaching. Isolate yourself from the source of danger and prevent its approach and development.
He understands better than anyone else that comfort and enjoyment are the breeding ground for greed, the sweeter and more alluring something is, the more he cannot indulge himself.
The reality of racing against time also made him hesitate.
Ordinary high schools have entered the countdown to the college entrance examination from the second semester of the second year of senior high school. During this period, most students are in a state of confusion with no practical concept of the road to go in the future. In most cases, parents at home assist in making decisions.
Science class 1 is the top student class of No. 6 middle school. Several students have won the admission qualification of prestigious schools early, and those from good families have started to prepare for going abroad. Various promotional materials of IELTS, TOEFL and SAT remedial classes are circulated in the class. .
Cheng Feichi had seen it a few times, but he didn't take it seriously. He was preparing for the upcoming National High School Physics Competition. This competition was decided on a temporary basis. He once took a break from school for a year and changed schools halfway. It is not so easy to get recommended qualifications. He checked on the Internet, and the threshold for many popular majors in universities will be relatively lower for the winners of the competition. One more bargaining chip is more sure, and there is no harm in taking a test.
For the physics competition, he quit his job at the food stall at night, and took out the money he earned from working in the first half of the year to sign up for a class. The mathematics competition was in the second half of the year, and it happened to give him time to prepare for two competitions at the same time.
After returning home from self-study that night, when he was preparing the materials needed for tomorrow's competition counseling in his room, Cheng Xin suddenly knocked on his door and gave him a temporary pass of the International High School.
"At 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, gather at the gate of No. 6 Middle School."
Cheng Feichi explained that there was a class tomorrow, Cheng Xin glanced at the competition book on his desk and said, "It doesn't matter if you miss a class, the communication over there will be more important."
Cheng Xin is not only his mother, but also an experienced teacher. Cheng Feichi is naturally willing to listen to her words.
However, when he arrived at the school the next day, Cheng Feichi realized that this international high school trip was a face-to-face meeting about studying abroad.
Even if Cheng Feichi called home to ask Cheng Xin what was going on, Cheng Xin only said to let him go and take a look, and we'll talk about the rest when he gets back.
He boarded the bus full of questions, which was almost full. After greeting Liao Yifang, the monitor of the second class of science, he raised his eyes and saw Ye Qin sitting in the back row by the window.
Before Cheng Feichi got into the car, Ye Qin saw him.
The first reaction was surprise, isn't this guy's family so poor that he can afford to stay in school
After thinking about it, maybe the activities organized by the school don't cost money, and if you don't apply, you don't apply. The poor ghosts who have never been out of such a big country can only go to international high schools to learn more.
Ye Qin used a condescending attitude to shabby Cheng Feichi from inside to outside in his heart, then turned his eyes away from him, and looked out the window with his chin propped up, but his ears were pricked up, listening to the conversation between him and Liao Yifang.
"Mr. Cheng, why are you here? I haven't heard you mention it before."
"Well, it was decided temporarily."
"Which school are you going to interview for? Maybe we can be companions."
"Not ready yet."
"Hey, don't go back, isn't there an empty seat next to Student Ye?"
Ye Qin shivered violently, and turned to look at Cheng Feichi. Cheng Feichi was also looking at him, and then turned his gaze first, and said to Liao Yifang as he walked back, "No, there are students from our class behind."
At exactly nine o'clock, the teacher got in the car to roll the roll, the car closed and started, and it swayed onto the road.
Zhou Feng, who sat in the front row with the squad leader, regarded this trip as a spring outing, carrying plastic bags around to distribute snacks to Ye Qin, and advised him: "Come out to play and have fun, quickly look at this place outside the window." It’s a great spring, and there is this bag of cakes, potato chips, milk, ah, life is so beautiful, why bother thinking about those unhappy things... Hey, I’m not right, so don’t cry.”
Yeqin has been uncharacteristically fragile lately compared to before. Last night they went to Haidilao to find someone, and saw Ye Qin occupying a table with a Jingdang cat doll opposite him, pouring chili oil into the pot while wiping his tears.
Although Ye Qin insisted that it was because of the hotness, and said that it was an instinctive reaction based on the fact that he would shed a few tears when his skin was broken and frozen, but Zhou Feng still felt that it was weird.
Afterwards, Liu Yangfan joked in private: "Aqin looks like this, those who don't know think he's broken in love."
At this moment, Zhou Feng took a glance at Cheng Feichi who walked to the last empty seat and sat down, and seemed to understand a little bit.
"Who is crying?" Ye Qin threw the facial tissue that Zhou Feng handed over to the ground, and shoved him with red eyes, "Go ahead and eat yours, leave me alone!"

But it made our brother Tie feel wronged.
