guarding you for seven years

The distance between heaven and hell, sometimes, you can walk from hell to heaven by stretching out your hand;

Third Year (Part [-])

When I got home, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and my mother's voice came from the living room, "Why did you come back so late?" She was a little angry and more worried. Xia Lu changed her shoes, and her nose was a little sore. Mom is worried.

Going to the mother and sitting down, holding her arm tightly, the mother found that her daughter was abnormal.Holding her daughter's hand, there was a burst of coldness, and the mother's blame words could no longer be said, "Mom, I will study hard, and I will get into a good university. Don't worry about me." Xia Lu's voice was choked up, The mother's heart was sore, she patted the daughter next to her lightly, and suddenly felt that the time was so fast, the little one back then had grown so big.Xia Lu is an introverted and quiet child who has her own principles and measures in doing things. She has never worried her parents. Her father is on business trips all the year round, and her mother runs a bookstore by herself, so she is usually very busy.At a young age, she matured prematurely while growing up alone.

"Mom believes in you. My baby girl must be the best. In fact, my mother doesn't ask you to do well in the exam. I just hope that you can do what you like and be happy. Mom feels very sorry for you. After so many years You are the only one who takes care of yourself, your father and I are both busy, so we don’t care much about you in life and study, Xia Lu, mom really hopes that you will be better in the future.” Mother looked at Xia Lu’s pair of shoes that resembled her own. With extreme apricot eyes, I feel guilty that I didn't take good care of her. With such a thin body, I still have to force her to study hard. It's really distressing, but it's about my daughter's future, and I can't compromise.

"Mom, I'm hungry. Cook me a bowl of noodles. I want two eggs." Xia Lu's palms slowly warmed up, and her mother's hands wrapped her hands softly and warmly. Xia Lu enjoyed this kind of tenderness very much. mother-daughter relationship.

"You girl, you haven't eaten so late? Is it anorexia again? I'll go to the hospital tomorrow to have a look." The mother's expression immediately became serious and anxious, "Mom, I'm fine, I don't have anorexia, now I'm fine now, you can see that I'm getting fat, and I just want to eat noodles now." Xia Lu knew that her illness scared the family members last time, and now as long as she can't eat, her parents are anxious.

"Okay, mom will cook noodles for you." Mom got up and walked to the kitchen, Xia Lu followed behind, "Mom, have I grown taller, I was as tall as you before, but now I am so much taller than you. "Xia Lu gestured with her hands, and her mother burst out laughing, it seems that the girl has really recovered from her illness.

Xia Lu looked at her mother who was busy making noodles for her in the kitchen, and her heart was filled with warmth. It turns out that besides the one she loves, there are many people who love her. To get better, she must reassure her parents.

At this rebellious age, Xia Lu's well-behaved and obedient parents feel gratified, but at the same time they also feel distressed. Xia's mother sometimes sees some parents coming to accompany their children to buy books. Thinking of my daughter in my family, I have never done anything for my daughter, and I feel that I am really not a qualified mother.

Xia Lu finished eating the noodles cooked by her mother contentedly, raised the corners of her mouth happily, the clock at home struck twelve o'clock, Xia Lu stared at the three overlapped clock hands, so today passed like this, Xiao Lu Zi, I ate longevity noodles for you.

Xia Lu walked into the bedroom, the three missed calls on the phone were from Xiao Zi, Xia Lu felt uncomfortable, her mind was full of images of the two kissing, she quietly put down the phone, and left the bedroom.

"Mom, can I sleep with you tonight?" Xia Lu knocked on the door of her mother's room. The mother was a little surprised. She was guessing that something must have happened to her daughter, but she knew that she couldn't ask anything, because her daughter was too sensitive, " The door is unlocked, come in." After getting her mother's permission, Xia Lu went into her mother's room with a pillow in her arms, "Why do you want to sleep with mom today?" "I just want to." Xia Lu was a little uncomfortable, from what she remembered At the beginning, I slept alone, and I never slept with my mother again, but I really don't want to be alone tonight.

Xia Lu lay quietly beside her mother, stretched out her hand to hold her mother's hand, the temperature from her mother's palm warmed Xia Lu's cold hands, her mother felt Xia Lu's coldness, she re-covered Xia Lu's quilt, and turned the temperature of the air conditioner Turned up, and then slowly lay beside Xia Lu.

That night, Xia Lu slept peacefully, as if she had returned to the time when she was a child, when her grandparents, parents, and parents treated her like a little princess.

That night, my mother suffered from insomnia and quietly shed tears of distress. For such a thin child, such a forbearing child, I gave her too little.

The sunset had already set, Xia Lu watched the sky slowly darken, her brows were tightly frowned, and her head was a little dizzy. She didn't remember what Xiao Zi said to herself after going to school the next day, but she only remembered that she apologized to herself And thank you for the gift you gave her.Xia Lu felt that what happened in the past two months should not be so painful now, but the pain was not less than that time.

On the first day of the holiday, when I walked into the barber shop, I cut my long hair that I had kept for six years into short hair, and decided to return it to my friend's place. unrequited love.Under the ravages of daily language and physics and chemistry tutoring, I still miss her every late night, miss her bright eyes, flying ponytail, and the faint scent of camellia when we first met.Didn't you say you should stop being attached?Why does it still hurt?

On the first day of school, I met Xiao Zi at the school gate. Xiao Zi said loudly: "Xia Lu, where is your hair?" All the students around heard it and looked back at Xia Lu. .Xia Lu blushed instantly, feeling a little embarrassed, and pulled Xiao Zi away quickly. "Xia Lu, why did you cut off your hair? It's waist-length, why did you cut it off so cruelly?" Xiao Zi asked all the way, Xia Lu didn't know how to say it, did he want to say "start from the beginning"? ? "Hey, Xia Lu, you also took off your braces." Xiao Zi stared at Xia Lu's teeth with wide eyes. , I cut my hair short, and I became a completely different you." Xiao Zi stretched out her hand to fiddle with Xia Lu's messy hair.The faint scent of camellia lingered on the tip of Xia Lu's nose. Xia Lu took a step back and avoided Xiao Zi's hand. Xiao Zi didn't notice Xia Lu's abnormality, thinking that Xia Lu was just embarrassed. "It's really beautiful. Short hair suits you very well." Xia Lu smiled slightly, but her heart was extremely bitter.

Xia Lu felt that the distance between herself and Xiao Zi was getting farther and farther. Sun Shike was the one who accompanied Xiao Zi to eat every day. Occasionally meeting their figures, Xia Lu still felt distressed, but would quietly avoid them.

Xia Lu's grades improved rapidly after a vacation tutoring. She was a smart child with good foundation, but she was usually lazy. Now that she worked hard, her grades would naturally rise.

Xia Lu stroked her ear-length short hair, the stars in the night were shining one by one, it was time for evening self-study, today's sunset is as beautiful as yesterday's.

"Xia Lu." Just 10 minutes after the evening self-study started, Xiao Zi sneaked into Xia Lu's class. Xia Lu was struggling with the chaotic parabolic function. Xiao Zi sat next to Xia Lu. Xia Lu hadn't noticed yet. Zi looked at the serious Xia Lu and called her softly.Xia Lu turned her head and saw it was Xiao Zi, a little surprised. "Why did you sneak here? Senior three students can't go to other classes for evening self-study. Didn't your teacher tell you?" Xia Lu whispered.

"I miss you." Xiao Zi leaned close to Xia Lu's ear, her voice was very small, but Xia Lu could hear clearly, the words spit out in that silent breath broke her defense line for many days.

"I haven't had dinner with you for a long time. I came to see you for dinner, and you have already left." Xiao Zi's voice shocked Xia Lu's brain bit by bit like electric waves.Xia Lu's fingers holding the pen trembled slightly, she seemed at a loss, and she deliberately distanced herself, was Xiao Zi, who had a thick nerve, noticed it?

After Xiao Zi finished speaking, she pouted and lay on the table looking at Xia Lu, "Do you not like Sun Shike? After I was with him, you ate with me less and less, and now it's more I won't see you for a week, and you won't play with me anymore." Xiao Zi was a little sad.Xia Lu bit her lips lightly, she didn't know what to say, she just felt a faint pain in her heart.

"I'll accompany you to the canteen to buy food after class." Xia Lu said this after being silent for a minute, and Xiao Zi's pupils dilated instantly, "Okay, sell me everything you eat." Xiao Zi's sadness just now disappeared, and her words became lighter.

Xiao Zi knows that Xia Lu will always be her best friend, and he likes Xia Lu's character, which is quiet and steady.Even if there are conflicts, as long as she shows a little bit of sadness and regret, Xia Lu will let go of all concerns and forgive all her mistakes.Xiao Zi's feeling is right, Xia Lu has no bottom line and no principles in front of Xiao Zi.

Maybe it's... arrogance?

Xiao Zi started to have lunch with Xia Lu at noon every day, Xiao Zi would talk about Sun Shike from time to time, the happiness on his face made Xia Lu feel stinging, but he was relieved, maybe falling in love with someone is like this, on the one hand I hope to see the other party's happiness, but on the other hand, I feel sad that her happiness is not given by me.

The monthly exam is approaching, and the third grade in senior high school has to be reclassified according to the grades. Xia Lu's grades in the exam are very good. From the original grade ranking of 200, she got into the top 50 of the grade, which is better than Xiao Zi's exam. Sun Shike is firmly in the first place. two.Xia Lu was transferred to the key class again, but this time she was not in the same class as Xiao Zi, but was in the same class as Sun Shike.

"Xia Lu, you are awesome. I knew you were a smart kid. You did better than me this time. You ranked 43, but I only ranked 59." Xiao Zi looked at Xia Lu who was eating quietly, Some emotion. "I made up lessons during the holidays." Xia Lu explained the reason softly. "Oh, that's it, it seems that I have to study hard too. Shi Ke is ranked second, and I can't be too bad. You have also entered the key class now, so I really want to go to your class, so the three of us will be in the same class." Now, we can study together." Xiao Zi sighed softly, the spoon in Xia Lu's hand stopped, the last thing he wanted to see was Sun Shike, but he happened to be in the same class with him, Xia Lu was a little irritable, I can no longer eat the food.

"Xia Lu." Xia Lu, who was reading a book, heard someone calling her, and looked up to see Sun Shike, whom she least wanted to see. "I didn't expect you to be transferred to our class this time. You will be a classmate from now on. Don't be polite if you need help." Sun Shike had a nice smile on her angular face. If it was another girl, she would definitely be attracted by this smile She was confused, but Xia Lu, on the contrary, hated Sun Shike.Because... the love that he couldn't get was in his hands. "Okay." Xia Lu replied with a smile.

"Oh, Sun Shike, why do you know all the beauties?" A classmate laughed from the side, "That's right, Sun Shike, give us a way to survive, you have chased all the beauties in the next class, so let them go." Let’s go to our own class.” A boy’s voice came from behind, Xia Lu didn’t want to pay attention to it, but when he heard Xiao Zi mentioned, she turned around and saw the boy sitting behind her looking like a ruffian, with a four-legged stool , but he was sitting on his hind legs. The boy's thin bangs blocked his eyes. When he saw Xia Lu turning his head, he gently blew the bangs on his forehead, raised his eyebrows at Xia Lu, and Xia Lu turned back expressionlessly. But in his heart he hated what he did just now.

Seeing Xia Lu ignoring him, the boy leaned forward, and the stool landed firmly on all fours, "Hi, classmate, my name is Liu Yao." Liu Yao leaned forward and looked at Xia Lu in the front row. But on the first day in this class, it's not easy to ignore people, otherwise I will be said to be difficult to get along with by my classmates.

"Hi, my name is Xia Lu." Xia Lu turned her head and said her name, then turned back immediately. "Xia Lu? That's a good name. Green, green, green. Haha, haha." Liu Yao's laughter made all the students in the class laugh. Xia Lu also entered the key class before, but there were very few students in the class. Playing together, they basically learn from each other, but the person behind him is really too noisy.Xia Lu was disgusted and hated him laughing at her name.

"Hey, Miss Xiao, are you looking for our Handsome Sun?" Some students saw Xiao Zi standing at the door and called out.Xiao Zi often came to look for Sun Shike, and the classmates in the class would make a few jokes when they saw it. Xiao Zi smiled at the classmate who was talking, and looked in the direction of Xia Lu, "Xia Lu." Xiao Zi waved his hands, " Aha, I'm not looking for Sun Shike, I'm looking for a new classmate." The classmate who spoke just now was a little surprised.

Liu Yao looked at Xiao Zi who was waving at the door, then at Xia Lu who got up and left the seat, and looked at Sun Shike with puzzled eyes, "The two of them have known each other for a long time." Sun Shike patted Liu Yao on the shoulder and walked back to his seat .

Liu Yao looked thoughtfully at the two people leaving at the door, "Interesting, Xia Lu, Xiao Zi. Very interesting." Liu Yao didn't know what he was excited about, but Xia Lu's arrival really made his life interesting too much.

In the years of youth, we will meet many people, but very few stay.Occasionally when I look up old photos and see that young smiling face, the corners of my mouth will slightly raise. It turns out that I was so stupid back then.

In Xia Lu's youth, Xiao Zi almost occupied everything.
