Xiaoya took out the key from her bag, opened the door carefully, probed her head, and compared the shoes on the shoe rack to those before she went out...
"You're back?" A cold female voice appeared in Xiaoya's ear.
Xiaoya took out the key and stuffed it into her pocket, at a loss, "Mom."
Xiaoya's mother stood at the entrance and looked at her coldly: "where did you go?"
- went to school.
- I went to the hospital because I was sick.
-Go out to play.
Three answers lingered in Xiaoya's mind, they quarreled and fought with each other. If it turned out, Xiaoya would tell the truth directly for peace of mind, but she and Lu Xiaobei just had the same heart, so she really didn't dare to say more.
She felt that her mother knew her too well, and she would definitely be overwhelmed.
Thinking of her budding love and the things she might face when she was discovered by her mother, Xiaoya felt guilty and scared. Before she could say the words, big drops of tears welled up in her eyes.
Xiaoya's mother stood there silently, without speaking.
She wouldn't know, would she? Did Lu Xiaobei find any clues when Lu Xiaobei came to the house last time
Or is it just my mother's temptation to know that I'm skipping class.
The silent oppression is enough to break the psychological defense line of a guilty person. Xiaoya sobbed: "I... I don't want to go to school."
She covered her face and burst into tears, "You guys don't know what I went through at school! Teacher Nan hired a spy in the class to give him a small report. Everyone guessed it was me, and they all told me behind my back... "
Xiaoya cried out loudly, this was her biggest unhappiness this year, and the source of all her repressed pain, "No one believed me, no one played with me, and didn't even talk! I was in school every day. It's very painful! You even gave gifts to Teacher Nan, I really hate him."
Xiaoya squatted directly on the ground, buried her face in her arms, don't, don't find out about her and Lu Xiaobei. She'd rather be drenched in blood than be hurt a little by the one she loves.
Xiaoya's mother: "you go to the room first."
Xiaoya changed her shoes, walked quickly to her room, and closed the door.
Xiaoya leaned against the door silently and sat down. She sniffed. Mom shouldn't have found out about her and Lu Xiaobei, right
Xiaoya was suddenly so excited just now. Although it was intentional, it was not fake crying. For many days last semester, she walked out of the house, often not wanting to go to school, wanting to spend day after day on a park bench, wanting to walk around the city...
But she was used to following the rules and didn't have the courage to do something different.
This is her biggest secret except for Lu Xiaobei, and it is the lingering shadow in her heart.
Even now, there is Mo Yichen in the class and Lu Xiaobei in the school, they are always by her side, they are the best friends and lovers. She still often wakes up in the middle of the night, dreaming that she is alone again.
Nobody loves her.
Phone vibrates in pocket. Xiaoya opened the lock screen, it was news from Lu Xiaobei.
Lu Xiaobei: Are you home yet
Xiaoya: I'm home.
Lu Xiaobei: Are your parents back
Xiaoya stopped by pressing her thumb on the phone screen, Lu Xiaobei will have the college entrance examination tomorrow.
Xiaoya: Not yet.
Lu Xiaobei: I'm tired after playing all day today, so take a rest early.
Xiaoya: Okay, do you want to read the questions again, captain
Lu Xiaobei: Stop calling me by my name
Xiaoya: I tell you to brush up on the questions again!
Lu Xiaobei: Follow your orders, my wife!
Xiaoya laughed out loud, and at the same time, tears fell on the screen again. How happy she is at the moment, how terrified she is.
Xiaoya leaned against the door and heard her father coming back and her mother's conversation. She pressed her ear hard against the door, trying to find out what they were saying, but was doing nothing.
It was past the usual dinner time, but no one came to call her.
Until there was a knock on the door, softly, like a knock on her heart.
Xiaoya opened the door, her mother was outside the door, and her father was sitting in the living room. It seemed that the situation was not the worst. Xiaoya took a step back and let her mother come in.
Xiaoya walked to the other corner of the room, she knew she looked bad now, but she was in no mood and didn't want to take care of herself.
"I told your father about you. Our idea is that it's only a month since the first year of high school, so you can endure it again. After the second year of high school, you will meet new classmates and make new friends. " Xiaoya's mother His voice was very gentle, "You will encounter many things during your school days, including being misunderstood by your classmates. The big cousin you liked very much, and the same thing happened in the class in middle school. However, no matter what happens, my father and I love you. ."
Xiaoya's mother: "Mr. Nan called today and said that you are on sick leave. He cares about you very much."
Xiaoya: "Fake."
Xiaoya's mother: "he did it wrong. After the first year of high school, you are unlikely to be in his class. "
"When you first came back, I was very angry because I thought you were in a relationship, so I skipped school, and my mother wanted to apologize to you." Xiaoya's mother's voice was apologetic, "I told your father that you are growing up. When you are old, we will think that you are wrong in the future, and will not do it. If you have anything in your heart, you can tell us. We will always be on your side. "
Xiaoya lowered her head and nodded, "Well. It's much better to say it."
Xiaoya's mother breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't see that, Xiaoya's eyes were tightly closed, and she hid the deeper pain.
Xiaoya's mother: "are you coming out for dinner?"
Xiaoya: "I don't want to eat."
Unlike usual, Xiaoya's mother didn't persuade her any more, she went out and closed the door to give her space to be alone.
Xiaoya knew that she had escaped the disaster, but for some reason, she was still a little uneasy in her heart.
