The classroom has returned to normal again, but Su Zi has never been able to calm down. After Peng Zige rushed out of the classroom, she hadn't completed a single topic, and she had been so anxious that she squeezed the pen in her hand and released it, then squeezed it again and released it.
She turned around several times, but never had the courage to ask Rong Si what happened. If only Peng Zige was here, then it would be much easier to ask.
Although she has been eating together with the three of them recently, the invisible tacit understanding of the three of them is not something she can insert. Just like what happened today, the subtle atmosphere that pervaded the three of them, although she could feel it, she knew that she was not in that "range".
Obviously not a very good atmosphere, she poked the white paper with the tip of her pen, but why is she so lost, the loss is not in that "circle". Even repressed tension.
Peng Zige didn't come back for a whole evening of self-study afterwards, and even Rong Si didn't know when he disappeared.
Do well-studied and good-looking boys really have so many privileges
Su Zi's depressed mood continued until she returned to the bedroom.
In the bedroom, there was only a hazy orange light shrouded under Li Erqin's bed. There was no one in her place. Su Zi took a few steps inside in confusion, and heard a cool song coming from the balcony.
She followed the sound and saw Li Erqin sitting alone on the railing of the balcony, the bright white moonlight shone down from the top of his head, sketching a slender back.
Su Zi remembered that when she was cleaning with a few boys a while ago, she heard them mention Li Erqin, and she was inexplicably curious about Li Erqin.
What kind of girl is Li Erqin? It's the kind of person who doesn't talk much. When you touch it, you always feel like something is separated. It's obviously not the most eye-catching in the crowd, but it can always attract your attention at the first time. Probably a strange temperament, they say.
Want to get close, but dare not.
Su Zi suddenly understood how the boys felt, she cleared her throat: "Er Qin."
Li Erqin stopped singing and turned around.
"Why didn't you come to study at night? Are you uncomfortable?"
"No." Li Erqin jumped off the balcony: "I'm in a bad mood."
"Not in a good mood?" Su Zi reached out and turned on the bedroom light: "What happened?"
Li Erqin went back to his seat and sat down, opened the homework that he had not moved all night: "It's nothing, it's done." He lowered his head to read the next topic, and rubbed his hair irritably: "It's over, I feel like I'm going to stay up all night."
Su Zi couldn't help laughing: "Who told you not to come to self-study at night. Speaking of which, have you asked the teacher for leave?"
"Well." Li Erqin opened the book and began to write with reference to the contents above.
"What did you say?"
Li Erqin thought for a while: "To be honest."
"Are you in a bad mood?" Su Zi asked in disbelief.
"Yup."
I'm in a bad mood, so I want to self-regulate in the bedroom at night.
That's what she told the teacher at the time. The teacher's expression was similar to Su Zi's, with an inexplicable look on his face.
"The teacher actually agreed?"
"It took a while to agree." Li Erqin replied, without stopping in his rush for homework.
Su Zi thoughtfully walked behind Li Erqin and stood for a while, and said, "Hey, Erqin. Rong Si and Peng Zige quarreled tonight."
Li Erqin immediately raised his head in surprise: "What's wrong?"
Su Zi shrugged: "I don't know. Peng Zige kicked the chair and left. I didn't dare to ask Rong Si."
"Oh."
Su Zi looked at Li Erqin and turned his attention to the workbook again. He didn't seem to want to continue to care, so he couldn't help asking: "Aren't you worried?"
Li Erqin did not speak.
For some reason, Su Zi suddenly remembered Peng Zige's roar at night: "Is that still a friend?"
"How about you send a text message to ask Peng Zige? Or Rong Si?" she continued.
Li Erqin paused to write, but did not move for a long time.
"Su Zi." She looked at her: "I want to finish my homework first."
Su Zi was surprised by her indifferent attitude: "Er Qin, are you planning to alienate them?"
Li Erqin didn't expect her to ask such a question, but he didn't intend to lie, so he put down his pen and stood up: "Yes."
"why?"
"Because it's annoying."
Another unexpected answer.
"Su Zi." Li Erqin sat down again: "Please let me finish my homework first."
It's always a relationship between layers.
Indifferent, alienated.
Su Zi felt that there was a cotton ball in her heart, and it was very uncomfortable, but she didn't know who to vent to, and turned around and returned to her bed.
The roommates had to come back in pairs, so Su Zi greeted them with a smile on her face, and went to bed after washing up.
Why do you feel annoyed? I'm so annoyed that I don't want to talk, do my homework, or even stay away.
Li Erqin couldn't understand it himself.
She knows that her personality is not very gregarious, and there were more gossips in junior high school. And I have long learned not to care about it, and I can find some novelty to amuse myself.
The last time I heard the group of girls say this to me, I didn't feel too annoyed. This time, I don't know why the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel, and I feel bored. It may be that I have heard too much during this time.
Li Erqin summed it up like this.
She was so irritated that she closed the physics workbook and opened the history homework. At the same time, I thought silently in my heart, why I still write physics when I am so annoying, I just can't figure it out.
After writing a history homework for a while, I paused again.
Rong Si quarreled with Peng Zige, do you want to send a text message to ask
what are you asking...
Li Erqin continued to write the exercise book.
If it's annoying, stay away.
The next day, Peng Zige and Rong Si only waited in the cafeteria for Su Zi, who came to have breakfast, but Li Erqin was still not seen.
Peng Zige looked at the entrance of the cafeteria unwillingly, and asked, "Su Zi, Li Erqin is really not coming?"
Su Zi stirred the white porridge all at once: "Well, I said that I won't be with us recently."
Peng Zige was startled and turned to look at Rong Si.
The latter looked calm and ate breakfast.
Li Erqin entered the classroom on the bell of the morning self-study. As soon as she sat down, Peng Zige immediately poked her with a pen: "Er Qin."
Li Erqin looked back.
"Why don't you have dinner with us?"
Li Erqin looked at Peng Zige, then secretly glanced at Rong Si, who was reading an English textbook with headphones on, and replied, "Because I don't want to."
"Don't want to?" Peng Zige frowned: "Why? What did we do?"
"I didn't do anything." Li Erqin showed no expression on his face: "I still prefer a person."
After Li Erqin finished speaking, he turned around and returned to his desk, opened the textbook and started reading early. No matter how much Peng Zige whispered to her from behind, she ignored it.
＊＊＊
The weather is getting colder day by day, and the plane trees are gradually becoming bare. Many people started bringing hot soy milk back to the classroom in the cafeteria, reciting English words and drinking soy milk. The classroom is filled with the smell of soy milk and ink, occasionally mixed with the smell of scallion pancakes and tea eggs.
Rong Si and Peng Zige's small group once again changed back to a threesome. It's just that the one who is active by their side this time is no longer Li Erqin, who is a little mysterious in the eyes of boys and a little annoying in the eyes of girls.
Li Erqin's figure seldom even appeared in the eyes of everyone in her spare time. Occasionally, when she saw her, she was alone and had to go to the broadcasting room.
In the morning reading on the day of the mid-term exam, almost the whole class brought breakfast to the classroom to eat, while eating and making up for it. And the little girl who was drinking milk ran over to ask Rong Si a question.
Su Zi and Peng Zige guessed at each other what they might encounter in the exam, and the two of them were always fighting together. Next to him was Rong Si, who was patiently explaining, and a little girl with a blushing face. From time to time, he sneaked a glance at the profile of his face so that he could see the suffocating boy, and then quickly lowered his head.
Peng Zige stopped talking to Su Zi halfway through and looked at Li Erqin's seat.
She actually fell asleep on the table!
Seeing Peng Zige's concerned eyes, Su Zi rested her chin on her hand: "I'm so concerned, go ask."
"Hey!" Peng Zige rolled her eyes at her: "First of all, you should be concerned about whether you can surpass me in this ranking!"
Su Zi, who was a few points behind Peng Zige several times, blushed: "If I'm ahead of you this time, please invite me and Rong Si to have a big meal!"
Peng Zige laughed wickedly: "Yo! What is the relationship between Ah Si and you? Why is it between you and Ah Si?"
Su Zi's face turned even redder: "Are you annoying!"
"What about me?" Rong Si turned his head and asked Peng Zige after solving the problem.
"It's alright!" Su Zi immediately took the geography book under cover: "Hey, Rong Si, tell me, will you pass the exam?"
Rong Si lowered his eyes: "Eighty percent will pass the test."
"But I still don't understand."
Rong Si took out a reference book from his drawer, and quickly turned to that page: "It's very clear here, it's still too late now."
"Thank you!" Su Zi happily took the reference book, and did not forget to make a face at Peng Zige: "Get your wallet ready!"
Peng Zige was so dissatisfied that he took out the English reference book and pulled Rong Si's arm: "A Si, people don't understand this one! You tell others!"
Rong Si looked at him with contempt: "You don't have enough words, so memorize them."
Just after he finished speaking, another girl with a physics workbook stood by his desk and asked in a low voice, "Rong... Rong Si, can you help me with this question?"
Rong Si nodded, looked blankly at Li Erqin, who was sleeping soundly on the table, then lowered his head and started explaining.
