There are always cramped areas in the city, where there are some dilapidated small shops with a low sense of hygiene. Flies flying all over the sky interpret the "star" and "level" of this store, and the corresponding consumers are middle-class consumers. , the lower class, not even the upper class students.
Compared with the "dark" morning and afternoon for the students, the school bell is the most beautiful movement in life. Gu Xing pinched his fingers, and Lin Xiaotian and Lin Xiaotian were almost at the moment when the school bell rang. The book was stuffed back into the bag, and the movement was so loud that Xie Jiang on the podium was noisy.
This class was originally a self-study class, and Xie Jiang, who had to work hard at the beginning of school, naturally took over this "heavy task".
"The rush to reincarnate is not as urgent as the two of you. What's the matter, Erlang God gave you the instructions for Xiao Tiangou?" Xie Jiang slightly raised his eyelids, stared at Lin Xiaotian, and then turned his head to look at Gu who was in the same class as Lin Xiaotian. Yan, deliberately opened his mouth slowly, changed his tone, and said: "I will borrow a minute from everyone. I am not in a hurry to go home anyway. Let's choose a monitor. If you have classmates you recommend, you can recommend them."
Gu Yan opened his mouth speechless, and looked at Lin Xiaotian.
This minute is estimated to be ten minutes or more, which will obviously delay their time to go to the Internet cafe. After all, Internet cafes are rush hours after school, so there is no place for them to go late.
-slip
-slip.
During the second they looked at each other, the eye contact between the two was very hot.
"Gu Yan!"
Somebody who deserved a beating yelled, but Gu Yan didn't even get there in time.
"Don't choose me!" Gu Yan yelled: "I am not qualified for Chinese language 28."
"Hey, you're quite self-aware." Xie Jiang put his arms around his chest and nodded his toes: "Have you practiced calligraphy yet? I'm looking forward to the exam next week."
Gu Yan subconsciously looked in the direction of Jian Jie, who was sitting quietly, his head seemed to be thinking about something, and he didn't notice Gu Yan's movement at all.
Inexplicably, there was something strange in Gu Yan's heart. There seemed to be an incomprehensible gap between him and Jane Jie. It was difficult for him to figure out what Jane was thinking, but he could feel that Jane Jie didn't seem to be ashamed. So 'delicate' and 'quiet', this is just Jane's body, what Gu Yan wants to see is Jane's own appearance under the body.
"Someone taught me." Gu Yan withdrew his eyes and said calmly.
"Who is so powerful to take on this burden?" Xie Jiang disagreed.
The eyes of the whole class were full of curiosity, mocking, Gu Yan pointed to his right hand.
Sitting next to him was Zhang Jie who had changed seats on the first day of school, Gu Yan's junior high school classmate, seeing Gu Yan pointing at him, Zhang Jie's chubby face was full of surprise.
"Jane Jie." Gu Yan said.
Xie Jiang looked surprised, and the classmates in the class began to whisper, discussing how these two people who are so different from each other can play together.
Hearing that she was called by name, Jian Jie seemed to wake up from her sleep, looked at Gu Yan with confused eyes, and then looked up at Xie Jiang.
"Jane Jie, did Gu Yan threaten you?" Xie Jiang said in a half-joking tone, "Don't delay your studies."
"No." Jian Jie slowly collected the textbook, frowned slightly, and asked in a strong tone: "Teaching Gu Yan to write, why delay me?"
Xie Jiang was taken aback.
"In the teacher's heart, Gu Yan is a bad student?"
It was also the first time Xie Jiang was asked this question, and he who usually speaks fluently didn't know how to answer the first time.
The discussion among the students in the class became louder and louder. Xie Jiang knocked on the table with a blackboard eraser and shouted loudly: "Quiet, quiet, the vegetable market?"
Amidst the noise, Gu Yan looked at Jian Jie, and the two looked at each other across a gap.
There was stubbornness in Jian Jie's eyes, and some other emotions that Gu Yan couldn't understand, but Gu Yan could feel in his heart that Jian Jie was resisting what Xie Jiang said just now, and even wanted to resist Xie Jiang.
Although the reason was not because of him, Gu Yan felt inexplicably happy, as if a new member had been welcomed into his class skipping team, Gu Yan was full of anticipation.
"I asked you to choose the class monitor. Hurry up, don't you want to leave school?" Xie Jiang cleared his throat, took a sip of the cold tea, and his eyes behind the glasses swept across the last row, hiding a trace of his intentions.
The people in the class became active, and everyone who was serious recommended Jian Jie to be the candidate.
"Don't choose me." After hearing her name for the seventh or eighth time, Jian Jie suddenly opened her mouth and said, "I don't have time, I want to read."
"Okay, don't mess around." Xie Jiang suddenly interrupted the enthusiasm of the students and pulled out the roster: "I first selected four students yesterday. Since Jian Jie is not willing, let's start with the remaining three students." Choose from inside, what do you think?"
Naturally, the students who were rushing out of school had no problem, and waited for Xie Jiang's next words with their eyes wide open.
"Fan Meimei, Zhang Shangjun, Jia Bei, these three students." Xie Jiang turned around, wrote the names of these three people on the blackboard, and continued: "Vote in one minute, write the word '正', and start."
Gu Yan looked at the three protagonists. He didn't pay much attention to the first two, Meimei and Shangjun, but it was Jia Bei who seemed to be quite popular in the class.
He also discussed with Lin Xiaotian at the beginning of school that Jia Bei is more than 1.6 meters tall, and his appearance is also one of the best in the class. The most important thing is that he is humane and quiet, and doesn’t talk much. The No. 2 middle school recommended by recommendation can also be said to be a good student who is on par with Jian Jie in the class.
Jia Bei has long black hair, neatly combed into a ponytail behind her head, revealing two small ears, and her school uniform, which looks like a rag, is another kind of scenery when she wears it, "A person depends on clothes." 'This sentence is a waste when applied to Jabe.
Seeing more and more characters of "positive" behind his name on the blackboard, Jia Bei blushed, looked around the class shyly, and finally fixed his eyes on Jian Jie in the last row, and retracted after a few seconds. out of sight.
After Xie Jiang counted the last stroke, he said neatly: "Then Jia Bei, any monster in the class will come to me at any time if he releases a mess of evil spirits. That's fine, let's dismiss the get out of class."
The monsters immediately released the evil spirit that had been held back for a day, slapped the table and yelled, Xie Jiang walked out of the classroom without looking back amidst the noise of playfulness.
Gu Yan glanced at his phone, he had left class for about 20 minutes, and the Internet cafe probably didn't have any seats left, so he leaned against the wall behind him and yawned, giving up today's plan to spend the night.
"Let's eat something." Lin Xiaotian slept with red marks on his face, wiped his nose with a disgusting paper, and said without paying attention to the image: "Meatloaf?"
"Let's go." Gu Yan said with disgust.
Both of them walked out of the classroom, Gu Yan suddenly turned around, Lin Xiaotian bumped into Gu Yan's arms.
"Oh shit."
"Grass, snot!"
Gu Yan shook his hands while walking towards the classroom.
"Why go!" Lin Xiaotian sucked his nose.
"Something happened."
——
What can be changed in ten years? This question is not profound. Jane turned off her phone with trembling hands, and shrank in the corner of the box, listening to the heart-piercing roar in her ears, and Xiao Zhao and the others were full of unwillingness to return. The flattering look of having to laugh and clap your hands all the time, your internal organs are all twisted together, and tears are about to burst out of pain.
He never thought that he would meet Gu Yan again, no, it should be said that he did not expect that he and Gu Yan would meet again. In the past ten years, that person who has an unruly personality and acts before he thinks has become strange and distant now. Gu Yan had never said such a serious word to him.
This sentence contains thousands of emotions, but only one meaning.
—I don't want to see you, it has nothing to do with you.
He didn't even know that he had entered the box like this, and when he came back to his senses, all he could see was the dim lights in the box and the unfamiliar colleagues.
It is difficult for him to get close to strangers, and Gu Yan is the first one.
It was also Gu Yan who took the initiative to extend his hand to him.
At dusk after school that day, in the empty classroom, Jian Jie packed his backpack by himself, and wanted to go home by himself as always, when Gu Yan pushed the door and came in with a look of disgust on his face, but said in an unquestionable tone: " Let's go, let's eat."
That was Jian Jie's first step towards madness, and it was also his first step towards Gu Yan.
——
There was an invisible depression in the VIP lounge of the guild hall. Gu Yan covered his face with ice cubes, his clothes were extremely messy, and only his eyes showed sharp eyes, staring at Lin Xiaotian sharply.
"Look at me, I treat my kindness like a donkey's liver and lungs, who knows that you two will fight when you meet, oh, my shop has been ruined by you two." Lin Xiaotian leaned on the sofa, his whole body was a little angry: " Grass, you are a fucking idiot, I don’t even bother to talk about you, you deserve to be beaten.”
"Sarcasm, right?" Gu Yan's face was expressionless, the left side of his face was swollen a little funny, and his tone contained emotions: "Who the hell told you to call Jane, isn't my place messy enough? Lin Xiaotian, you ask Ask your own mind, is I, Gu Yan, a brother in your heart? Grass, my mother said it, see you, I will see you! Some things are not what you think, how many times do I have to say these words before you can understand? Don’t you know Jane’s character?”
"Why can't I see you anymore! You have been hiding for ten years, what else do you want? Your aunt died in a car accident and you were not here. Are you wronged? Why can’t I pass this hurdle, or are you holding back your heart for the rest of your life and want to go to the grave? You ask yourself, am I your brother! Tell you Gu Yan, it doesn’t matter if the fuck is in my heart , you can stand in front of me properly, everything else is bullshit!"
Lin Xiaotian swung the vase on the small coffee table next to the sofa to the ground with one hand, and the exquisite vase shattered, and the delicate and beautiful roses inside lay there in a state of embarrassment. Just like Gu Yan, his whole body was broken from the depths of his soul. .
"It's because of this that I can't see, my life is ruined, I can't..." Gu Yan covered his eyes with one hand, suppressed the choking in his heart, was drained by something for a moment, and threw himself on the ground. Squatting down, he waited for a long time before saying, "I can't burden him anymore."
"Grass." Lin Xiaotian turned his head and cursed into the air, and after a few seconds, a teardrop from the corner of his eye ran across his cheek without a trace.
"It's been ten years and I can't go back. I'm a person who doesn't even have a high school diploma. I don't have the qualifications... I don't have the qualifications, do you understand? What reason do I have, what right do I have to go back to him?" Gu Yan covered his face, feeling aggrieved like a child, after going through the madness just now, his brain and body could no longer react: "Xie Jiang can help me hide this matter, I am also very grateful to him, Jane found me If it’s not good for us, you’ve heard it too, Jiabei and him are getting married soon, what should end must end, no matter how you build bridges, it’s useless.”
"Trash." Lin Xiaotian's hair drooped, covering his red eyes, he cursed and didn't speak any more.
Gu Yan paused for a while, then said nasally, "Thank you."
"Get out." Lin Xiaotian stubbornly didn't look at Gu Yan, but his slightly shaking shoulders revealed his impatience.
"Get out." Gu Yan stood up, his legs were numb: "You arrange another job for me."
"I don't want to talk to you, let's just fend for myself." As Lin Xiaotian said, he took out a few big bills from his pocket and stuffed them into Gu Yan's pocket: "Change your clothes, take a taxi and get out."
Gu Yan didn't say anything, didn't refuse, opened the door and left.
Lin Xiaotian stared at the slowly closing door, saw the mess in the lounge, and finally cursed angrily after a long time.
- They are all fucking idiots!
——
This time Gu Yan didn't care about the money, he took a taxi all the way from Lin Xiaotian's guild hall to where he lived, the expression on the driver's face also changed from 'he picked up a rich man' to 'this person is pretending? ', after all, those who came out of that guild hall basically had a high level of consumption. Taking a taxi all the way to such a remote poor alley, I personally feel unbelievable when I say it.
"Let me go to the intersection, the alley is narrow, it's not easy for your car to enter." Gu Yan took out a big bill from his pocket and handed it to the driver: "I won't look for it anymore."
'There must be a limit to pretentiousness. The driver thought silently, took the money, and watched Gu Yan get out of the car.
Gu Yan braved the cold wind and walked forward. Within a minute of walking, an ambulance roared past him. The headlights of the car were bright, illuminating the depths of the alley.
Those closed small shops closed their doors tightly, as if the excitement of the morning was an illusion.
Gu Yan stopped and watched the ambulance stop not far away.
Correspondingly, it is the old man Zhang's house who is approaching the entrance of the alley.
A few people got in and out of the ambulance, pushing the bracket neatly with their hands and feet, and old man Zhang was connected to the car in less than half a minute.
Gu Yan walked a few steps quickly, leaned over, and saw Aunt Liu, who sells peanuts in the alley every day, greeting her.
"Oh, please slow down. I don't know where his relative is. There is no phone."
The ambulance staff had a general understanding of the situation, and they dragged Aunt Liu to the car: "You called an ambulance, how about this, go with us first, the patient needs someone to accompany him."
Aunt Liu was dragged into the car and left together with a half-push. Gu Yan watched the ambulance coming and going, standing where he was, not knowing what he was thinking.
Some people living in other homes were also awakened by the noise, and in the middle of the night they all wrapped up in cotton clothes and came out to look around.
"Often, Lao Zhang's house is quite quiet. It was late at night today, and the bird in his house suddenly kept singing. Aunt Liu next door wanted to go and have a look. When he saw something was wrong, Lao Zhang lay on the bed and his face turned purple. Aunt Liu was so scared..."
"Hey, old Zhangtou is usually in good health, but when he said he fell ill, he fell ill. I heard it was a heart attack. Fortunately, he was discovered early."
"The most pitiful thing is that the girls there are notoriously disobedient. They wait for the old Zhang to die and divide this house. If this area is demolished, it will cost a lot of money."
"Okay, okay, than I said, go to bed early in the middle of the night."
The discussions dispersed one after another, and Gu Yan stood in the dark with cold hands and feet.
After a few seconds, Gu Yan pushed open the unlocked door of Old Zhangtou's house, and quietly entered the house.
The parrot that spent many days and nights with Lao Zhangtou had a confused face, but also stayed quietly in the cage, watching Gu Yan push the door in, and tilting his head to look at Gu Yan.
"Hush!" Gu Yan gestured and looked around the room.
The old Zhangtou’s house is not very big, with an old TV, an old bed with traces of time, the coat that he usually wears is hanging on the hanger in the corner, the photo of his wife is hanging on the wall, and the table in front There are also some fruits on the table.
Gu Yan walked to the old Zhangtou's window, closed the window, carefully folded the messy old but clean quilt, found out the parrot's bird food, and said softly to the parrot: "Come with me?"
The parrot looked at the bird thief, and Gu Yan's nail-sized brain was analyzing the pros and cons.
"Your grandpa, um... It will take a few days to go on a long trip. If you don't come with me, you will be hungry. Do you want to go?"
The parrot looked at Gu Yan, then at the bag of bird food in Gu Yan's hand, stretched out its mouth and opened the small door of the cage, and flew onto Gu Yan's shoulder.
"Okay, you sneaked away many times before your grandpa didn't know about it." Gu Yan said.
The parrot pecked at Gu Yan's slightly swollen left cheek.
Gu Yan grinned in pain but dared not make a sound.
Lock the door of old Zhangtou's house carefully, and with the 'stolen' bird, quietly submerge into the darkness.
——
The group of howling ghosts and wolves sang to their heart's content, Jian Jie's tired face showed powerlessness, after paying the money, he watched Xiao Zhao and the others get into the taxi, and then covered his stomach with one hand, and vomited at the tree trunk by the side of the road .
There still seemed to be pain in his hand, which was the mark left after he touched Gu Yan.
He couldn't understand why he was so tyrannical just now, but that was what he wanted to do the moment he saw Gu Yan.
It is precisely because of this that the pain in his body and the complex emotions in his heart can pull his tense nerves and tell him over and over again.
— You saw Gu Yan!
- He is Gu Yan!
The security guard outside the guild hall looked at Jian Jie, still having some doubts about what happened just now.
Jian Jie felt uncomfortable for a while, top-heavy, almost fell headlong into a tree hole, his chaotic brain buffered a trace of rationality, reminding him all the time that he still had things to do.
Go find Gu Yan.
Go find Gu Yan!
Walking to the floor just now, the waiter girl who received him was obviously taken aback. After all, the "action martial arts drama" in the bathroom just now has become famous. The police have to move.
Comrade Jian Jie, the protagonist of the martial arts drama, propped his hands in front of the counter, looking aggressive. After staying up most of the night, his eyes were still bloodshot, and he looked a little decadent.
"Where's Gu Yan?"
"Gu Yan?" The girl trembled and asked back: "Who is Gu Yan?"
Jian Jie was also taken aback.
"The one just now..."
"You mean the one who fought with you?" The girl said boldly, "He's new here today. You beat him up, so I don't know if he'll come or not."
"Crap." Jian Jie cursed.
"However, he is familiar with our boss, you can ask the boss, aren't you friends?" the girl said.
Jian Jie was at a loss for words, she opened her mouth and didn't know how to answer.
When he received a call from Lin Xiaotian in the afternoon, he still wondered if he had heard it wrong. The person who had sworn to tell him that he would not tell him about Gu Yan in the class that day, had no reservations or even threatened him on the phone, letting him come here.
What Lin Xiaotian said today just proved what Jane Jie thought.
—In Gu Yan's ten years, something must have happened.
It is impossible for a person to disappear without a trace, and it is even more impossible to meet again and push the old friends so far away.
Jian Jie knew Gu Yan well, that's why he came back to look for Gu Yan again.
——
Bringing the parrot into the house, Gu Yan quickly opened the little sun, found a higher place to fasten the birdcage, and said to the parrot, "Go in."
Master Parrot was majestic and majestic, he flapped a few times, scattered a feather and landed on top of Gu Yan's head.
"I'm going to take a shower, you will follow?"
The parrot pecked at Gu Yan's hair.
Gu Yanle was among those who could talk to him in an empty hut: "I guess you'll have to stay here for a while, I sleep during the day and go to work at night, you're bored... There's nothing wrong with being bored, just stay Bar."
The parrot ignored Gu Yan, flopped around the room quietly, and finally landed on a pile of 'garbage' in the corner.
"Don't just look for a place to shit, it will kill you." Gu Yan hurried over and slapped the parrot away.
The parrot called twice.
- Only the trash can't be seen by this bird.
Gu Yan simply sat on the ground and rummaged through the pile of debris. A book in the middle came into view, and Gu Yan took it out with a little effort.
It was an English book, the cover was a bit damaged and dusty, and the paper with words inside had turned yellow and curled up over time.
Only when the first page of the cover was opened, the name written in the blank space was still clearly visible.
— Gu Yan
The name, the book, bear witness to a beginning.
There is a well-known figure in No. 2 Middle School, not a student, but a teacher, an English teacher.
Speaking of Class No. 7 of No. 2 Middle School, the only one who disagrees with Gu Yan is Xie Jiang, who is the English teacher Zhao Tianxiang. Although she is a girl, the rules in class can be as thick as a Xinhua dictionary.
Most importantly, anyone who doesn't bring an English book will have trouble with her.
After Gu Yanmei happily hired Jian Jie as a 'writing tutor', something went wrong in the second English class.
Zhao Tianxiang took a big step, stepped on ten centimeters, brushed his hair elegantly, looked around the students sitting around, and said leisurely with his lips and teeth: "Stand up if you don't have a book."
Generally speaking, Gu Yan is not afraid of any teacher. Many times, even if he does something wrong, he just apologizes and it's over, but Zhao Tianxiang is different. He will ridicule you from the bottom of your heart, and let you know without leaving any traces. Copy the book backwards.
It's true.
Even if you borrow a book from the next class, it must have your name on it, and there must be no traces of alteration, otherwise the book is not yours, and you still have to copy it.
After all, Zhao Tianxiang taught all eight classes in high school.
Gu Yan's bags were all torn apart, except for a bag of potato chips, there was no trace of an English book at all.
It doesn't mean that he is afraid of Zhao Tianxiang, Gu Yan will always resist something at this age, and that is to let him take Zhao Tianxiang's class.
Seeing Lin Xiaotian beside him obediently taking out the book from his bag, not sleeping as usual, even his eyes were no longer chaotic, but became clear and bright, Gu Yan belittled Lin Xiaotian from his heart.
Zhao Tianxiang flipped through the books one by one, and seeing that he was almost here, Gu Yan hadn't figured out how to get over this calamity, so Zhang Jie, who was beside him, touched Gu Yan from under the table.
Gu Yan raised his eyebrows and asked Zhang Jie why he would lend him a book.
Zhang Jie pointed to his right hand and made a mouth shape.
—Jane Jie's.
Gu Yan was stunned, and opened the English book in his hand.
The name that Jane Jie wrote with an automatic pencil just now during the class break is now covered with traces of oil pen.
When did Zhao Tianxiang come over, Gu Yan didn't pay attention, and when he came back to his senses, Zhao Tianxiang had already walked to Jane's seat.
"Where are the books?"
Jian Jie raised her head and said softly, "I didn't bring it."
Zhao Tianxiang didn't ask too much: "Give me the copied book in the next class."
Jane nodded.
"Copy from the beginning this time, saving you from buying books." Zhao Tianxiang smiled suddenly, and looked at Gu Yan from the corner of his eye: "Copy a complete copy, and use it for class in the future, I will check."
