Peng Zige quickly came out of the examination room. He originally planned to laugh three times to show his liberation, but before speaking, he suddenly thought that the examination room should not be noisy, and the breath he spit out abruptly took back. cough.
The movement is no less than loud noise.
The invigilator walked out frowning, and when he saw Peng Zige, he immediately became a little exasperated: "Go and cough."
Only then did Peng Zige seriously observe his invigilator teacher. After a closer look, he realized that wasn't that the teacher who invigilated his geography during the first monthly exam? At that time, Li Erqin was also kicked out of the examination room, which made Li Erqin's geography score so ugly.
Thinking of this, he deliberately shouted at the invigilator: "cough cough cough cough!"
The invigilator was so angry that his face was emerald green.
Rong Si: "... Zige, go."
Peng Zige exaggeratedly took two deep breaths, then patted his chest: "Oh, my breath is finally smooth. Goodbye, teacher!"
piss off!
Words that could clearly be read from the invigilator's face.
Su Zi has always been the slowest person in the exam, the type of person who refuses to hand in the paper until the last second. So the three of them went back to the temporary lounge to rest.
After the exam, Peng Zige stretched out relaxedly: "Finally finished the exam! Er Qin, how did you do in the exam?"
"no problem."
Peng Zige: "...Oh, 48 points is no problem?"
Li Erqin was poked and laughed out loud.
Peng Zige, who had planned to laugh at her, was instead embarrassed by him.
"Can you come out for the winter vacation?" Peng Zige asked.
"sure."
Peng Zige looked up at Rong Si: "Where's Ah Si?"
"Can."
Peng Zige laughed: "Then where are you going to play?"
Li Erqin, who thought there would be a winter vacation without seeing his best friend, immediately nodded excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes!"
Rong Si hesitated: "I have plans for the winter vacation."
Li Erqin and Peng Zige both said in unison, "Huh?"
Then came the same disappointed look.
Rong Si touched his nose: "I'm sorry."
Peng Zige was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to be too obvious: "That's fine. I can only go to Li Erqin and Su Zi to play by myself."
Rong Si was silent.
"Occasionally you can come out," he added.
Peng Zige still hummed unhappily, the phone in his hand vibrated, he picked it up and looked at it: "Su Zi has finished the exam, let's go find her."
In fact, the last exam, after the exam, did not want to eat together again. It's just that they are used to waiting for each other, and after they meet, they go back to the dormitory separately.
Peng Zige had his parents come to pick him up, left a sentence: "contact me when the time comes" and left.
Su Zi's home was opposite to where they were going, so Li Erqin finished packing up and stood up to say goodbye to Su Zi: "Then I'm leaving too."
Su Zi was stunned: "So many things, how do you take the bus home?"
Li Erqin pointed to the small bag behind him: "I will carry this to take the bus, and other fathers will ask the driver to pick it up."
"Then what are you doing..." Su Zi suddenly realized: "You specially accompany Rong Si to take the bus?"
Li Erqin nodded.
Su Zi lowered her head for a moment, then raised her head: "Er Qin, do you like Rong Si too?"
Li Erqin looked at her calmly: "Well."
"When did it start?"
This question made Li Erqin a little embarrassed: "I found it after New Year's Day."
"Oh… "
Li Erqin put down his bag, stood in front of Su Zi, and looked at her: "Are you angry?"
Su Zi looked away: "No."
"Liar."
Su Zi anxiously said, "I'm not angry. I just feel a little strange."
"I'm sorry." Li Erqin's apology came very simply.
Su Zi didn't know what to do with her expression: "You're not wrong. Rong Si doesn't like me anyway. I've tried my best, and I've made a confession. If I can't do it, I can't do it, and I also gave up. None of this has anything to do with you."
Li Erqin felt that she was right: "That's right."
Su Zi: "..."
Li Erqin hugged her: "I'm sorry."
"Oh, don't apologize. I don't like Rong Si anymore anyway."
Li Erqin took a step back: "Are you thinking of me as a fool?"
Su Zi finally couldn't help patting her: "What are you being hypocritical? It's not intentional that we like the same person. Besides, so many people in this school like Rong Si, do I want to be angry with everyone? It can only prove that the person we like is too much. Excellent."
Li Erqin nodded again: "You are right."
Su Zi patted her: "Go! Fat and water don't flow to outsiders' fields!"
Li Erqin looked at her strangely.
Su Zi waved his hand.
"Thank you, Su Zi."
"Hypocritical."
Li Erqin walked out of the dormitory with a small backpack and called his father at the same time: "Dad, all my things are in the dormitory, please help me get them. I'll go home by myself in a while."
Li Erqin's father, Li Zhengshu, was surprised: "Go home by yourself?"
"Um."
"You know the way?"
"do not know."
"..." Li Zhengshu was helpless: "If you can't find it, take a taxi back. If you really can't, call me again."
"it is good."
Seeing Li Erqin talking on the phone, Rong Si suddenly smiled and shook his head.
When Li Erqin stood in front of him, he asked, "Do you just order something like this when you come home from winter vacation?"
"Other dads will come and pick it up."
"it is good."
After a semester of getting along with each other, no matter what Li Erqin said, Rong Si was able to face it calmly.
"Let's go?"
"Um."
This time Li Erqin went home with his classmates for the first time, and it was the first time he went home with the person he liked.
Some excited, some excited.
There were not many people waiting for the bus at the bus stop, and most of the students had left earlier. Li Erqin stood beside Rong Si, frequently sticking out his head to look into the distance of the road.
"What did you see?" Rong Si joked.
"road."
"anything else?"
"Tree."
"Anymore?"
Li Erqin was silent for a few seconds and replied, "Car."
A half-empty bus swayed slowly from a distance. It's the one they're going to ride in.
The two got into the car one after another and found a seat in the back to sit down.
The car shook and started.
The setting sun slanted from the horizon, a dazzling orange.
Shaking blinded Li Erqin who was sitting by the car window.
She squinted and turned her head, seeing Rong Si who couldn't help laughing.
The light was cut off by the car window, and only an orange spot was drawn on Rong Si's chin.
Li Erqin tried to sit up straight, and finally succeeded in driving the sunlight under his lower eyelids.
"Are you tired?" Rong Si asked.
"tired."
Rong Si smiled, stretched out his hand and went around Li Erqin's head, his broad palm between her eyes and the car window.
Li Erqin looked at him gratefully.
It's a little troublesome, and it's easy for Rong Si to get tired.
She struggled for a while, then said to him, "Thank you."
Rong Si curled the corners of his mouth.
Buses travel through the city along the flow of traffic.
When they stopped at a certain station, two figures jumped out of the car. The boy in front is tall and the girl in the back is petite. The girl jumped out of the bus seriously.
Land on both feet at the same time for a perfect landing.
She looked up at the community behind her: "Your family lives here?"
Rong Si nodded.
"Okay." Li Erqin nodded: "Goodbye then."
She was about to leave after saying goodbye, and Rong Si held her back: "Where are you going?"
Li Erqin's face was taken for granted: "Go home."
"How do you get back?"
Li Erqin could not answer.
"I'll take it to you."
Li Erqin was still hesitating, Rong Si pointed to the backpack behind him: "I'll put the bag on me and go home, and then take you home."
"It's ok."
Rong Si looked at her without speaking.
"All right."
Rong Si's house is in the innermost part of the community. The community is still very new, it should be newly developed.
So this is not where Rong Si grew up
Entering the building belonging to Rong Si's family, the two of them took the observation elevator with a view of the outside to the top.
"Your home is very high."
Rong Si nodded: "My mother doesn't sleep well, so she didn't choose a house with residents upstairs."
Li Erqin nodded clearly: "My mother too. I went out to steal food in the middle of the night, she knew it."
Rong Si laughed.
When the elevator opened, Li Erqin realized that it was a single-family elevator, and the security door was closed.
Li Erqin looked at Rong Si hesitantly.
"Would you like to come in and sit down?" Rong Si asked her.
"No need." Li Erqin stood outside the door: "I'll be here waiting for you."
Rong Si didn't speak, he opened the door and put his bag at the entrance, then closed the door and said, "Let's go."
"that's it?"
"Well." Rong Si pressed the elevator: "There's no one at home."
The elevator door opens.
Li Erqin followed Rong Si into the elevator: "Have you gotten off work so late?"
Rong Si leaned on the armrest: "They are often away from home."
"On business trip?"
"That's it."
Li Erqin invited him: "If you don't have food in the future, you can come to my house."
The setting sun completely disappeared on the ground level, leaving only the cold darkness. The elevator descended quickly, and no one came in halfway.
The white light shone on Rong Si's face.
"thanks."
He says.
＊＊＊
Li Erqin's house is not close to Rong Si's house. When Li Erqin reported the address, Rong Si knew it. So he stopped a taxi directly.
After a day of exams, I took the bus to shuttle across most of the city, and then took a taxi to the other side of the city. Whether it was Li Erqin or Rong Si, they were too tired to say a word.
In the small taxi space, the driver played the radio broadcast, and the radio hosts told each other jokes in dialect, and the words were humorous.
Li Erqin's head slowly fell to the side, and when he was about to hit the glass, he was caught by a big hand. Then Rong Si gently placed her head on his shoulders and stabilized. Change the sitting position to make her sleep more comfortable.
Consciousness gradually blurred, and even Rong Si fell asleep.
The taxi passed the traffic light and turned a corner.
Li Erqin's hand on his lap slid down, and the back of his hand was attached to the back of Rong Si's.
He opened his eyes in a daze, looked down, turned his palm, and took the small hand into it.
＊＊＊
Li Erqin slept all the way to the door of the house, only to be woken up by Rong Si.
She rubbed her eyes, which were a little dry from the heating in the car: "Arrived?"
"Um."
Li Erqin jumped out of the car: "Want to come to my house for dinner?"
Rong Si glanced at the community of Li Erqin's house and shook his head: "I'll just go back in this car."
"But you didn't have dinner."
"It doesn't matter." Rong Si smiled: "There has always been someone cooking in my family."
Li Erqin looked at him suspiciously.
"And I'm so tired today, I just want to take a hot bath and go to bed."
Li Erqin reluctantly said, "Okay then...bye bye..."
Rong Si got back into the taxi: "Goodbye."
The taxi drove back along the way it came, and the driver saw Rong Si sitting alone in the back seat in a trance, and said, "Your classmate lives in a good neighborhood!"
Rong Si returned to his senses, moved his eyes from the car window to the driver, and then returned to the car window: "Well."
"The house there is not something you can buy with money."
Rong Si still looked out the window and said indifferently, "Well."
The driver observed Rong Si from the rearview mirror.
The young man in the back seat had an expressionless expression.
He chose to be silent again and tune the car radio to another station.
Teshima Aoi's pure and healing voice flowed from the car stereo, and sang softly: "uousfire..."
Rong Si covered his eyes with his palms.
The way home today is really long...
＊＊＊
When Li Erqin returned home, as soon as the door was opened, she smelled the familiar aroma of rice, which made her stomach growl.
Li Zhengwen was watching TV in the living room, and when he heard the movement of the door, he asked, "Did Er Lan come back?"
Li Erqin pouted and named himself Erqin, but insisted on calling himself Erlao.
"I'm not lazy."
As soon as Li Zhengwen heard that it was his precious daughter's voice, he immediately stood up to greet her with a wide-eyed smile: "Why don't you come back with your own luggage if you're not lazy?"
Li Erqin pouted: "Heavy."
Li Zhengwen patted her head lovingly: "Your mother is practicing calligraphy upstairs, you go and invite her to dinner."
"Yeah." Li Erqin nodded, took off his shoes slowly, walked over to the phone, picked up the landline and dialed his mother's number.
Xu Yunshu, who was practicing calligraphy on the second floor, suddenly saw his home phone number flashing on his mobile phone. He was startled, then laughed, and then cut off the phone directly.
Li Erqin put down the phone: "Mom will be down soon."
Li Zhengwen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Li Erqin put down his bag and walked to the kitchen to wash his hands, then turned back and said, "Thank you, Dad."
"Thanks for what?"
"Help me bring my luggage back."
Li Zhengwen didn't appreciate it: "Thank you, you don't need it, and honestly explain why you went there at night?"
Li Erqin shook his head: "Dad, you are not young anymore."
"why?"
"When a man starts to gossip, it means he's getting old."
Li Zhengwen was anxious: "Who told you?"
"I."
"… "
Li Erqin continued to walk towards the kitchen.
Li Zhengwen rambled behind her: "Li Erqin, let me tell you, as a father, it is your duty to care about and understand your daughter's every move from a young age."
Li Erqin stopped and turned around: "Dad."
"Um?"
"The first time I learned to climb a wall, the first time I learned to swim, the first time I learned to ride a bike, you don't know."
Li Zhengwen was speechless.
Li Erqin shook his head: "Uncle Wang knows everything, that's the father's love."
Li Zhengwen was dissatisfied: "I didn't compare you to other children's children, but to compare my heart to my heart, can't you not compare me to other people's parents?"
Li Erqin said seriously, "Yes."
Xu Yunshu: "..."
＊＊＊
A week before the start of the winter vacation, Li Erqin stayed at home. In the previous semester, in order to try to catch up with Rong Si and the others, she didn't pick up anything about radio dramas. This time, the little friends in the circle knew that she was on vacation, and the invitation windows popped up one after another, and they could not wait to rush directly in front of her.
Li Erqin's final exam results were good. Although physics didn't make as much progress as before, his grades in other subjects finally got a little better than Rong Si. His name on the ranking book was also closer to Rong Si.
She sent a message to Rong Si halfway through. The content of the message was as simple as three words: What are you doing
Didn't get a reply.
Li Erqin felt that Rong Si was extremely mysterious. That time at the door of his house, when the door opened, she secretly glanced inside. It is a very clean and even lifeless house. With no lights on, everything was as dark and cold as lead.
Li Erqin lay on the bed thinking.
- Could it be that Rong Si is a single-parent family? Or are your parents getting a divorce
- Otherwise, why is there no one at home
Bah Bah Bah!
I didn't think about it any further.
- What are you thinking about
Turned over on the bed again.
- But it's so mysterious! When I was at school, I usually reply very quickly. Why didn't I reply when I got home
- Forget it, just make a call.
Li Erqin jumped up from the bed, went directly to the desk to get his mobile phone, and dialed Rong Si's number.
stunned.
On the other end of the phone, the user you dialed has been shut down.
downtime
Li Erqin was staring at the phone unacceptably when Peng Zige's call came in. Before he could say a word, Peng Zige shouted, "Er Qin! I lost Ah Si!"
Li Erqin: "Huh?"
"I can't contact Ah Si!"
Li Erqin: "I know."
"how do you know?"
Li Erqin sighed: "I just called Rong Si and told him to stop."
"He's been down for three days."
Li Erqin was surprised.
"What do you think I should do? No one plays with me! It's been a week! No one plays with me!" Peng Zige's voice could imagine his expression: a frown.
Li Erqin turned on the computer and started typing the content in the webpage bar.
"Er Qin, what are you doing?" Peng Zige wondered.
"Online shopping."
Peng Zige was about to explode: "I'm calling you! Can't you shop online for a while?"
Li Erqin took the phone away from his ears: "I'm charging Rong Si for the call."
Peng Zige's "anger" was stuck: "Oh. Erqin, you are so smart, why didn't I think of it?"
Li Erqin didn't want to speak.
