I don't know who was talking to whom, but the conversation went on anyway.
"Mengmeng came back and was so angry that he almost flipped the table."
"I saw... what made her so angry?"
"It seems that the love letter was not given."
"Won't Rong Si accept it?"
"no."
"… what is that?"
"Heh." A sneer in the absolute sense: "Li Erqin refused."
"It's not for her, what is she?"
silence.
Someone said: "It's really annoying."
"Do you think that after standing beside Rong Si for a few days, Rong Si is hers?"
"shameless."
Ruan Ming first turned his head to see Li Erqin's expression. He sounded angry at such words. He didn't know how Li Erqin would react as a young girl.
saw.
Poker face.
Or it can be said that it is the most Li Erqin expression ever.
Feeling Ruan Mingxian's gaze, she also looked at him and made a face at him: "Look."
"not angry?"
Li Erqin felt that this question was somewhat familiar, as if someone had asked it a long time ago. Oh, it's Peng Zige, who asked himself a similar question. Just didn't ask anymore.
"not angry."
"why?"
Li Erqin made an embarrassed expression: "Otherwise I probably have nothing else to do except get angry every day."
Ruan Ming laughed first.
The girls chatting gradually drifted away, and Li Erqin came out of the corner: "Let's go."
"Really okay?" Ruan Ming confirmed first.
"Um."
"You often hear this?" Ruan Ming first pointed his thumb to his neck and drew a horizontal line: "Do you want me to shut them up?"
"It doesn't matter. As long as I don't get angry, they are the only ones who are upset."
Ruan Ming didn't know why.
Li Erqin looked calm: "Anyway, no matter what they say, Rong Si is already mine."
Ruan Mingxian: "Oh."
As soon as Li Erqin returned to the classroom, Peng Zige rushed over with a worried look: "Why did you come back so late?"
"Just hiding from the rain in the broadcast studio."
Peng Zige had no doubts: "I thought that girl was going to trouble you."
Li Erqin disdain: "How much trouble can it be."
"The rumors are terrible! Er Qin!" Peng Zige was heartbroken: "You can't let the rumors grow, and you won't know what's going to happen by then."
Li Erqin still didn't take it seriously.
"But Er Qin," Su Zi put down his pen, "I think Peng Zige is right."
"But I can't care what other people say."
Peng Zige: "It makes sense."
＊＊＊
On the second day of Rong Si's participation in the competition, there was still no news of him. Li Erqin flipped through his quiet mobile phone between classes and felt that he seemed to be no different from the state before he was not in love.
Even because of Rong Si's departure, the two of them didn't even have basic communication.
If you think about it like this, it is inevitable that you will have to worry about gains and losses.
- Do you really like me
— Could it be just a whim? Maybe now I'm annoyed how to take back what I said.
-Why do people who can get full marks in the physics test fall in love with someone who has difficulty even passing the test
Press the screen again, but still no push.
Li Erqin lay on the table boredly and picked up a pen to scribble.
"Er Qin!" Peng Zige, who went out to buy water, ran in from the back door, sweating profusely, and stood in front of her gasping for breath.
"What's wrong?"
Peng Zige took a sip of water and patted Su Zi on the shoulder: "Stop writing, guess what I just heard."
Su Zi raised her head in disapproval: "What?"
Peng Zige frowned and glanced at Li Erqin: "Said Li Erqin was with the boy under the stairs at noon..."
Peng Zige didn't go on, couldn't go on, and watched Li Erqin's expression worriedly.
Li Erqin's eyes were as clean as water: "It's Ruan Mingxian."
Peng Zige was really angry. Li Erqin's indifferent attitude has always made several of them turn a blind eye to the rumors that have been circulating around the school. Never tried to explain or stop it.
He is the one who gets along the most with other classmates among the four of them, so he often hears boys from other classes saying to him half-jokingly and half-gossip: "Hey, that Li Erqin next to you is amazing!"
When Peng Zige heard it for the first time, he was still curious: "What?"
The boy smirked, with contempt in his tone: "I heard that means are very high? What words did they say, green tea..."
"To shut up!"
The boy looked at Peng Zige's increasingly ugly face in surprise: "Don't say it, don't say it."
Peng Zige wanted to explain, but when things developed like this, they couldn't be explained in one sentence or two.
The boy smiled when he saw how he was hesitant to say anything, "Look, it didn't make you stunned for a while."
What happened afterward
Peng Zige remembered beating him up, and he never interacted with this boy again after that.
Peng Zige sometimes wonders, if Li Erqin hadn't returned to their team, would these negative rumors about her disappear. Suddenly, I understood why Li Erqin wanted to leave in the first place.
He came back to his senses and saw Li Erqin bit his lower lip with a blank expression: "What did they say?"
"It's all made up," Peng Zige gritted his teeth: "Let me hear it myself, no matter if it's a man or a woman, just beat it all up."
With Peng Zige's reaction, Li Erqin could roughly guess the rumors that he didn't bother to tell.
It doesn't matter what others say, but for some people she has to explain: "Ruan Ming and I just got wet in the rain and waited for the clothes to dry."
Peng Zige didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I don't need to explain, I can't believe you, to believe them? Su Zi, do you think so!"
"That's right!" Su Zi was so angry that he wanted to beat people: "Some people are just boring, and they can't do anything except speak ill of people behind their backs."
Li Erqin laughed at them, but he didn't laugh.
＊＊＊
The first thing Rong Si did when he came out of the arena was to turn on the cell phone that was required to be turned off. He didn't think Li Erqin would take the initiative to send him a message, but he must be waiting for his text message.
Press the finger on the power button, the screen flashes and lights up, the icon in the upper right corner turns, and the network signal is found.
Rong Si clicked on the software, found Li Erqin's name, and prepared to click on it. Three pieces of information about Peng Zige came in a row in the push.
Article 1.
[Why are you shutting down? When you see a text message, send a message to report safety! ]
Article 2.
[Someone has spread Li Erqin's words again, and this time it has gone too far. Li Erqin didn't seem very happy. ]
Article 3.
[Li Erqin got into a fight with someone, and went home from class. ]
Rong Si pressed the screen off, and reached out to call for a taxi.
During the four-hour high-speed drive, because the teacher in charge couldn't find anyone to call, Rong Si simply said that he would go back to school first, and then hung up.
He put his finger on Li Erqin's name, thought about it, and pressed the call button.
Shut down.
Rong Si's temple jumped suddenly.
He had been to Li Erqin's house once, but the address of her house was firmly in his mind at first sight. It was close to midnight when they arrived outside her community. The few summer cicadas chirped lowly in the night, and the cool autumn wind blew from behind him. The gate of the community is closed, and a sign "Visitors please register" stands beside the door. The security check seems to be very strict, but fortunately the lights in the security room are still on.
He walked to the security room and interrupted the security guard who was reading the newspaper: "Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Li Zhengwen's daughter Li Erqin."
The security guard raised his head and saw a very upright young man with an excellent temperament. He immediately let go of his guard for the most part: "Are you Li Erqin's friend?"
Rong Si lowered his eyes: "Classmate."
"Told her to come?"
"no."
The security guard is embarrassed: "At this time, we can't let you in without the permission of the owner."
Rong Si looked back at the heavy night, and continued to ask, "Can you please help me contact them?"
The security pondered for a while: "Well, let me call the owner for you and ask?"
"sorry to bother you."
At this moment, Li Erqin was wearing a warm yellow short-sleeved nightdress and sat at the desk with a sullen face, reading a book. His left elbow and left calf exposed in the air were wrapped in gauze.
She took the small mirror by the table to look at her face, and was glad to pat her face.
Fortunately, there was no disfigurement, otherwise Rong Si would come back, what face would he take to see him
only.
She sighed and touched the phone whose screen was shattered.
It was broken, there was no way to turn it on, and there was no way to contact Rong Si.
- Depressed!
- Drink water to calm down.
She put on slippers and opened the door, and Li Zhengwen, who was knocking on the door, took two steps back in a daze.
Li Zhengwen was also startled by the sudden opening of the door: "Your classmates are looking for you at the gate of the community."
"Probably Peng Zige and the others." Li Erqin put the water glass back on the table and put on a coat: "I'll go get them in."
Li Zhengwen stopped her: "I'll accompany you."
"It's okay." Li Erqin said as he walked, "Anyway, there are security guards at the door."
Li Zhengwen was still worried: "The wound you just got back from the hospital this afternoon will not be able to run even if the bad guy runs away."
Li Erqin looked at his father: "I couldn't run."
Li Zhengwen: "Yes."
Seeing her good daughter sitting at the entrance to change her shoes, she couldn't help but suggest again, "Dad accompany you?"
"Dad." Li Erqin put on his shoes and stood up: "Go and accompany mom."
"it is good."
A family of three, Li Zhengwen is the "smallest". This day is simply over.
The street lights along the way are very bright, so even if you walk alone, you don't feel afraid. On the contrary, because the night wind was blowing after the weather had cooled down, I felt relaxed and happy, and the energy that had been holding back all night seemed to be dissipated.
What happened at noon began to replay in my mind like a movie.
On the corridor to the radio studio, she met several girls who were talking loudly around them. When they saw her appear, they gave her a malicious look and asked, "Does it feel good to work with someone at school?"
Li Erqin only felt a thud in his head, burning out his reason.
Those people are still asking: "Is this also how you seduce Rong Si?"
Li Erqin squeezed his hand beside him into a fist.
"You're angry?"
Li Erqin recognized that the one who took the lead in speaking was Shi Meng.
"I don't care what you do, just stop pestering Rong Si." Shi Meng showed a fierce look: "You have been doing this white lotus long enough, and we all agreed that it is time to let Rong Si know what kind of person you are. ."
When Li Erqin heard himself ask back, his tone was cold: "What kind of person?"
Shi Meng made an exaggerated expression of surprise and blinked: "You don't know what kind of person you are?"
Others laughed: "Stop pretending, are you annoying? There are no boys here."
Li Erqin lowered his head and bit his lower lip, repeatedly admonishing himself not to care about them. It's their fault, not themselves. What's ugly is their faces, not themselves.
Looking up again, she looked directly at Shi Meng coldly: "Do you know how ugly you are?"
"What did you say?!"
"People like you don't even deserve to like Rong Si."
Shi Meng screamed in anger: "You seduce the senior to do it at school while Rong Si is not..."
Shi Meng's words were interrupted by the phone that Li Erqin suddenly smashed over. She clutched her forehead in pain, picked up Li Erqin's phone, which had fallen on the ground, and slammed it onto the ground again. teach you a lesson!"
Thinking of the fierce fight that afternoon, Li Erqin gasped in fear.
Fortunately, his face was protected in time.
The gate of the community is right in front of you. Compared with the well-lit path of the community, the light outside the gate of the community is very weak, and you can't see clearly, only a slender figure standing straight by the door, thin and thin. tall.
Li Erqin felt the rhythm of his chest suddenly skipping a beat.
All the senses faded from her world, only the pounding heartbeat and the question repeated in her mind.
- isn't it
isn't it
isn't it
She held her breath and walked forward quickly, and after taking two steps, she couldn't help but run.
Running towards the hazy silhouette standing in the half-dark light.
