It was a competition I participated in when I was a sophomore in high school.
Originally, the teacher who led the team drove them to the exam. Later, the family was in a hurry and left beforehand. Several students who competed together came out after the exam and discussed where to eat and go back.
"I know there is a very popular barbecue restaurant nearby, why don't we go eat together and take a taxi back later?"
"Okay, I don't want to go back to the cafeteria to eat, I'm about to throw up."
Several other people said they had no objections, and Yu Zhile himself didn't care, but a timid voice sounded:
"You guys eat, I'll go back first"
Having said that, Xia Zhenyue ignored the surprised eyes of others, put the test supplies back into the environmental protection bag, and left silently with her head down.
"Won't she eat? It's almost twelve o'clock, aren't you hungry?"
"If you don't like barbecue, you can go to eat hot pot. There is also KFC next door."
"Forget it, she is like this, probably because she thinks that our grades are not as good as hers, and she looks down on us. She never participates in our class activities, and she is very withdrawn."
Even children in kindergarten will learn to integrate into the circle, but Xia Zhenyue is like a special case, and is dubbed by other students as "a lonely person who can only read to please the teacher, can't read words, gets carried away, and doesn't fit in with others"
When other people started to point fingers at her, she was already excluded. In order to integrate into this circle, other people also joined the army of exclusion. As long as exclusion of someone can become a common topic of conversation, things will The truth doesn't matter anymore.
For Xia Zhenyue, compared with the fact of being poor, the harm caused by being pointed out by classmates and false opinions may be greater, and she gradually closed her heart and really became withdrawn.
"Let's go, Zhile, that barbecue restaurant is very popular, and you have to queue for a long time when it's late." Several classmates greeted Yu Zhile.
Yu Zhile often speaks in public as a student representative. He is considered a famous figure in the school, and everyone is willing to get close to him.
Yu Zhile looked at Xia Zhenyue who was walking away alone, thought for a while and said: "The road is quite long, it's a girl's, I'll go back with her, you can just eat."
Having said that, he followed Xia Zhenyue in front of him, leaving a few classmates looking at each other in blank dismay.
Yu Zhile didn't know what the classmates talked about later, and he didn't care. In short, this kind of thing had no effect on him.
"Hey, Xia Zhenyue."
Yu Zhile called her and walked up quickly.
Xia Zhenyue didn't expect him to follow, she stopped and glanced at him and the students behind, and subconsciously said: "I'm not hungryYou guys eat, I'll just go back to the cafeteria and eat."
"Let's go, I'll go back with you." Yu Zhile came to her side and walked side by side with her.
She didn't say anything else, she just shrugged her shoulders and murmured in a low voice.
"Do you want to take a taxi back? Let's share 30 per person equally."
"I I take the bus."
"Oh, let's go together then."
Yu Zhile didn't ask her why she didn't take a taxi, and walked with her to the bus station.
When walking with her, the biggest feeling is that she is clearly beside her, but it feels like she is invisible, with her head lowered, not speaking, her shoulders tightened tightly, it seems that even the sound of her breathing is covered by her depressed.
Yu Zhile asked her about the exam just now, and most of her answers were nervously uttering things like 'um', 'yes' and 'oh'.
Seeing that she really doesn't like chatting, Yu Zhile stopped talking and stayed silent with her, which made Xia Zhenyue breathe a sigh of relief and feel a lot more at ease.
Before the car arrived, Yu Zhile bought two bottles of water at the small newsstand and handed one to her.
"Drink some water."
"Thank youI'm not thirsty"
"Take it, I bought everything, I have no place to put it if you don't take it."
Xia Zhenyue's expression looked a little aggrieved, as if she had been murdered.
"How muchhow much?"
""
Before Yu Zhile bought water for her, she really didn't expect that she would give him money. It seems that he put pressure on her. After all, how much is a bottle of Yibao mineral water worth? Yes, I will say to him delicately, 'I can't unscrew it, you can unscrew it for me'
Seeing that her eyes seemed to be a little persistent, she had no choice but to say, "Two yuan."
Xia Zhenyue took out her small wallet, and ordered twoGive him a dollar: "I didn't bring my mobile phone, give you cash"
Yu Zhile took her two yuan and put it in his pocket: "Thank you."
Until then, Xia Zhenyue seemed relieved, unscrewed the bottle cap of the mineral water in her hand, and drank it in small sips.
She didn't drink water all morning, she was indeed a little thirsty.
The bus came, and the two got on the bus together. It happened that there were seats connected together in the back row. Yu Zhile asked her to sit in the inner seat, and he sat in the outer seat.
The car swayed slowly, took more than ten stops, and changed trains in the middle.
Neither of them spoke, she didn't know what she was thinking, her legs were close together, the environmental bag in her hand was folded and placed on her lap, her hands were pressed together, probably because she was not used to Zhile sitting next to him at first, her body was tense Sitting upright, he sneaked a peek at him from the corner of his eye from time to time, or stared out the window for a long time in a daze.
After a long time, I gradually felt at ease, so I took more peeks at Zhile, after all, he was already asleep, anyway, he didn't know if he peeked.
The car bumped occasionally, and Yu Zhile, who was dozing off, shook his head, rubbed his nose with his fingers, and continued to sleep.
Seeing him open his eyes, Xia Zhenyue immediately tightened her body, turned her eyes to the window, pretending that she had been looking at the scenery, maybe because the temperature in the car was relatively high, and her soft ears were red and a little greasy.
Yu Zhile didn't know about the journey on the road, he just slept soundly, and occasionally could smell the faint fragrance of the girl beside him.
"Student Yu Zhilewake upStudent Yu Zhile"
Xia Zhenyue held the pen reservedly, poked him on the shoulder lightly, and called him to wake up.
"Um oh huh"
Yu Zhile woke up in a daze, only feeling as if he had slept for a long time, it was only an hour's drive, but he actually felt like he had been sitting for two hours, as if he had stopped for a long time.
"It's time to arrive" she said softly.
"Oh sorry, I almost fell asleep, thank you." Yu Zhile rubbed her face vigorously with her palm.
"It's okay" Her voice was very small.
When getting out of the car, Yu Zhile stood up first to let her go out, and then he got off after her.
They walked more than 200 meters together to return to school, ordered meals at different windows in the cafeteria, and sat at the same table for lunch. During this period, neither of them spoke, but it was the longest and closest relationship between them. Get along once
Yu Zhile lay on the bed with a raised pillow, and when the bouncy ball in his hand was thrown out and bounced back against the wall, he would always catch it accurately.
When he is in a daze thinking about things, he likes to throw this bouncy ball, because his physical coordination is very good, and he knows and is proficient in handsome skills such as turning pens and coins.
Thinking back to the things he knew with Xia Zhenyue in his mind, but he still couldn't grasp the answer he wanted to get.
Is this the troubles of youth?
He has always been the only one who has caused troubles to other girls. When did he get so down that he thought about it day and night because of a girl?
What if time stops again tomorrow?
At! So passive!
Yu Zhile sat up straight from the bed.
No, no matter what the truth is, you can't stick your ass like this and let it go!
