"Hey"

Li Yuan took the old soap and foamed on her pants, and said nothing. Zhou Wen was in pain, so he leaned against the wall and kept groaning. Hearing too much made people feel offended. Li Yuan turned her head again. Look at him: "You don't call me cousin, you know how to pronounce my name, right?"

"Don't say it, I really almost don't know how to pronounce your off-the-wall words." Zhou Wen looked at his pants with drooping eyelids, "If you talk about it again, it's like you called my cousin."

"..."

Not to mention calling him cousin, he didn't even say hey.

"But I don't care if you call him Mao or Mao." Zhou Wen put his hands on the place where Li Yuan hammered the pain, stood up straight, and rubbed the beige wall dust on his shoulder blades: "I heard they talked about you just now, you Do you know what they are nagging at you?"

Li Yuan guessed that the greatest joy in Zhou Wen's life was to have nothing to worry about. He couldn't feel comfortable being alone, and he couldn't feel comfortable having to drag other people to be with him.The more that mood surpassed him, the more he could feel relieved.I'm afraid there is no heart defect.Li Yuan thought this over and over again, without stopping him from continuing.Looked at him and blinked, meaning: you continue, I am free.

"They told your father, don't let you take the exam outside the province, just stay in Qingyi to take the exam at Normal University or TV University, and come out to get a job so you can get a job and start a family." Zhou Wen's tone was relaxed, and there was a hint of gloating in his smile. Feeling a little pity, he put his hand to his mouth, making a fuss as if it was planned so that no one could hear him, he was a small family, and he came close with a strand of hair that smelled of stale cigarettes.

"I also said that you changed your name. The old lady mentioned that the grandson of the Lin family's grandson, whose surname is Li Xiang, has left. He must be changed to Lin, Lin Yuan." When he said this, he raised his mouth and suddenly became happy: "You said Lin Yuan?" Yuan is so ugly, you still envy fish, and Lin is a fart, hey, what I said is an idiom, right? Linyuan envy fish."

There was a big embarrassing watermark on the crotch, and the trousers were coldly attached to the flesh.Li Yuan wanted to say, they don't care where I go, I decide where I take the exam and what my last name is.Thinking about it again, is it useful to tell him this?Does it make sense to tell this brainless bum the size of a peanut?No need to say.

——I really want to say it again.I really want to throw these words on their feet loudly, hit them hard, jump up and yell if it hurts, it's best, so as to save everyone from opening their mouths, and only know about bullying other people's nosy all day long.

But in the end it is cowardly, I can only say these words over and over again, and tell myself to myself as if I have checked and checked the answer sheet repeatedly.

I don't stay here.

I have to get out.

Out of Qingyi out of this group of people, anywhere will do.

Just as Li Yuan changed her pants and hugged Nunu tightly, Lin Yixiong's phone rang.Li Yuan planned not to answer, so she pressed the answer button with a flick of her hand, and with the phone resting on her lap, she heard Lin Yixiong's bright voice on the other end of the speaker.With his decibels and thickness, catching a thief in the middle of the night is the lore. The sentence "Don't run away if you have the blood" came out sharply, like a sword in the throat, and the thief was so frightened that he turned somersaults on the spot.In the KTV singing, the tune of "Tianlu" is played every minute, and it turns a corner, and I can't accept it.

"Aren't you disturbing the people by shouting so loudly?" Li Yuan had no choice but to put her phone up to her ear, and pulled Nunu's whiskers, "What do you think if the police are called to the police?"

"Stop doing this with me." Lin Yixiong raised his chin at the other end, "I didn't ask you to pay it back, why did you just leave without saying hello to your grandma and aunt?"

"You don't know that the soup spilled all over me?"

"Spraying on your crotch didn't burn your mouth. You can call for help even if you fall into the oil pan. Come here and say 'I'll be back first', no time?"

Li Yuan paused for two seconds, lowered her head and stroked the cat's tail, and said simply, "I'm too lazy to say hello."

"Hey, You--"

"What's the matter with you calling me even after I've come back and asking me to turn back and apologize to them?" Li Yuan interrupted him, "Stop discussing about my insistence on changing my surname?"

Li Yuan said this out of anger, so after finishing speaking, she regretted mentioning it.

Lin Yixiong's breath rang two or three times evenly on the other end of the speaker, and the last breath was slightly deep, "I didn't agree."

You do not agree.

"You didn't agree. Didn't you also agree when grandma and aunt forced my mother to take the baby? The result?"

"I'm—"

"Stop talking."

Lin Yixiong was so angry talking to Li Yuan that he had a heart attack. The worst behavior in the world is holding back his energy and wanting your explanation but insisting on not listening to your explanation. In the body, one is a mentally handicapped boy and girl in love period with negative EQ, and two is the bear son Li Yuan.

"Fuck off!"

Lin Yixiong hung up the phone with a beep, and Li Yuan felt anxious when he heard him, and felt a bit relieved when she poked a hole with her fingers like a thin layer of paper.Li Yuan lay on her back on the bed, remembering that Xia Qing was not very liked by her grandma in the past, the old lady used to distinguish her grandson from her grandson very clearly, and her aunt was quite displeased and depressed by this, and her relationship with her mother and daughter For a long time, Xia Qing almost never brought Xia Qing's hot face to her cold butt to see her as a grandmother.Xia Qing's habitual coldness and indifference towards the Lin family is actually very understandable to Li Yuan.If it's me, I'm afraid it's colder, and I'm afraid I will laugh and disdain even more.

It was me when I was a child, a typical Lin family appearance, alert and cheerful, very popular with the elders.No one owns the imported chocolate from Meiji or the fresh guava brought back from Hainan.It's just that when the old lady pampered him, she always added such a small voice without regret: "Be good at the Lin family, and insist on taking his Li family name, something."

I asked Li Xiaoxing, when I was in junior high school, I asked her why I was different from others, and my mother's last name was not the same as my father's last name, it was so strange.At that time, Li Xiaoxing's answer was ambiguous and specious, but her expression was calm and sweet, and she said it was nothing, and she discussed it with your father when they were in love, it was just a small obsession.

Anyone who listens to this statement seems to have insufficient evidence, so no one will believe it.It just happened to catch up with the popularity of dog-blood ethics in those few years, and the cheating illegitimate lovers eventually became brothers and sisters. Li Yuan followed Li Xiaoxing to look at each other, and realized the essence in minutes. I have been sucking silently in private for more than half a year, thinking to myself - I can't be my mother's illegitimate child, my father is a takeover, right?Thanks to Li Yuan asking for such a rebellious thought without proof, Li Xiaoxing and Lin Yixiong would have been beaten to death on the bed in a mixed doubles match.

But just because of this surname, Li Yuan can hardly blame Lin Yixiong for being useless and cowardly, an incompetent softie who doesn't make any effort and only blames others and doesn't look at himself at all.Because of this surname, he believed that his father once really loved his mother, bravely withstood the gaze and pressure of the Lin family, and insisted that his surname be Li, just for a casual agreement between the two of them when they were in love.It’s just that now, things are things and people are not everything, and everything that should be compromised has been compromised, and it’s all the few innocuous jokes printed on the back of "Story Club".

When You Kaifeng called, Li Yuan was almost asleep on her back on the bed.You Kaifeng's ringtone is set on Li Yuan's bar phone as a special reminder. The ringtone is different from the ringtone of other people's incoming calls. It is the song "seeyouagain" sung by Broken Eyebrow.At first, Li Yuan was reluctant to set it up, thinking that the two of us old men set up a special reminder for your mother, gay or not?

You Kaifeng ignored him, and first jokingly said: Yeah, when I urged you to chase after Su Qi, you said that you just liked me and pretended to be real, why didn't you admit that you are gay now?After teasing him desperately, he explained half-truthfully: Suppose this is to save my life, so that my father will beat me to the last breath one day, and you can call 120 for me, no matter what , I gave him a kick at the gate of Youjia, you can go to the train station and bring me a stutter.

"Ah—cough!" Li Yuan's throat was itchy, she covered her mouth as soon as she answered the phone, turned her head and coughed twice.

"Go downstairs and open the big iron gate of your house."

"Making hair..."

"I'm downstairs in your house. I just brought you two big boxes of zongzi. You don't know what to do."

"What stuffing?"

"Wh-tsk, I'm so troublesome. I'll take a look later." You Kaifeng clamped the slippery little iPhone between his shoulders and his chin, raised his hands, and looked left and right at the two hands. The box of Wufangzhai is overly flashy, "a box of purple sweet potato and honey beans, a box of... crystal brown, assorted fruits."

Li Yuan turned over and brushed away Nunu who came to lick the bridge of his nose with his tongue when he woke up: "I'm sorry I don't eat sweet stuffing, but I won't open the door."

"Hey my day?" You Kaifeng raised his eyebrows.

Li Yuan couldn't help laughing, "The lock on the bottom door was broken to the end 600 years ago, it can be opened as soon as it is pulled hard, and it is unimpeded."

"Really." You Kaifeng walked over and pulled the lock with his hand, and opened the lock with a click, stained with scarlet rust residue, "Really, you are such a goddamn anti-theft door, even a smart dog can guard against it." Can't hold... the quality before liberation?"

"Don't be dissatisfied." Li Yuan turned over and buried her face in the pillow, "There really hasn't been a thief here."

You Kaifeng went in to change his shoes, and he saw the new Under Armor pair on his feet at a glance. The light gray uppers and fruit green soles were covered with yellow mud spots.There is a clover backpack on his chest, which is bulging to the touch. During this battle, half of the desk has to be emptied.Li Yuan dragged her pair of foam sandals out of the shoe cabinet and threw them on the floor, popping and bouncing twice, like two live carp thrown ashore.

"Did you copy your homework?"

It can be said that Li Yuan hit the nail on the head.

You Kaifeng frowned and snapped his fingers crisply, "I'm old Yuan! I know everything, and I'm really good at studying!"

"Keep blowing." Li Yuan folded her arms, "Blow three more lines without repetition, and I'll copy them for you."

"Study is particularly good, but you are handsome, if you are handsome, you have a strong athletic ability, and you do not say a strong athletic ability, you have a good heart!" You Kaifeng has no arrogance, flattering like a father-in-law who is full of fat and greedy for money, It is the eunuch.

Li Yuan drooped her eyelids, feeling like vomiting.

When You Kaifeng first got acquainted with Li Yuan, it was indeed a painful experience for him to see that his grades were among the best, and to see that his family was very popular, and the difference between the sky and the sky.I said in my heart that great resources are by my side, and to be friends with Xueba, it's useless not to hug my thighs!So during that time, he desperately begged Li Yuan to comment on his mistakes in mathematics, physics and chemistry.At that time Li Yuan didn't seem like he is now, he was so unscrupulous about meat and vegetables, although he ate and booed together, but it didn't go to the point of scolding and swearing at each other.

At that time, Li Yuan looked deep and steady, pretending to be aggressive like wind.You Kai Fengxin said that you have to give me one or twenty points no matter what, so that I can get out of the trouble, right?So he scored a full 120 points and listened to him reluctantly give himself a small lesson after the class.In the mathematics taught in the first two days, the probability of wrong nine out of ten questions on one paper, Li Yuan finished two papers in half an hour.The whole process is basically based on "you see this is very simple", "you can figure it out by oral calculation", "you can basically omit it here", "it's boring to say too much if you don't mention this basic", "then you can get it "Throughout, You Kaifeng knew that the conditions had not been smoothed out, and the process had already cue to the next question, and he didn't understand one of them.

If Li Yuan's thinking can leave a mark, it will be the unrestrained and leisurely brush strokes, that is the lightning and flint meteor chasing the moon, he is not fast, he is the wind.Since then, You Kaifeng has redefined the concept of Xueba, and since then he has figured out how much he is.

Make up a few more, make up, just copy it!

"You can just bring it to me tomorrow." Li Yuan took a can of pineapple beer for You Kaifeng from the refrigerator, and pulled the tab open with a "pop", and the snow-white sake foam stuck to her nails.He pushed the can in front of You Kaifeng, sucked the foam from his hand, "If I'm not at home, you won't run in vain."

You Kaifeng pointed to a mass of alteration marks on the test paper, "What the hell is this?"

"π."

"My dad is back." You Kaifeng copied without raising his head, his words were ugly like dense morse codes, "I don't want to listen to him, he's talking, tsk, even our school's gate is very special Why don't you know that when I look at him, I wish I could make up for the big and small mistakes of 800 years and scold me... I'm annoyed when I'm at home."

"Then you're going to bribe me with the zongzi brought back by your father?" Li Yuan tilted her head slightly, seeing that Nunu leaned over to grab You Kaifeng's trouser legs with the warm little pad. A little upset, he raised his foot and pushed it away, ignoring its "meow meow meow" dissatisfaction in a low voice.

"Isn't it easy for me? Anyway, no one will eat it at our house... The main reason is that the old man didn't bring back cigarettes this time, or I brought cigarettes." After copying a sheet of trigonometric functions in 5 minutes, I spread out a sheet of paper. The three-dimensional geometry continued to study hard.The process of copying Li Yuan's proof is the coolest, everything is cut out and simplified, and the sentence "it can be obtained from this" can summarize the universe, the world, the human relationship, and the universe.

"Don't you have a little aunt in your family?"

"Steal my mother's Swarovski card, opened it early."

"...Then our family can't eat it either." Lin Yixiong's blood fat is high and he doesn't like sweets, and Li Yuan simply doesn't like sticky things.

"Peng Xiaoman."

"what?"

You Kaifeng pulled his eyes from the paper and opened his eyes to Li Yuan: "Ah fart, didn't you tell me last time that he happened to live downstairs in your house, and send him a box."

Li Yuan smiled after a moment of reaction: "Don't you always say you are not familiar?"

"I don't know him well because I couldn't figure out what kind of person he is, what kind of person he is, what if he is a playful person, he is forced to talk about me and Lao Gou."

This is the truth, Peng Xiaoman's joyful emotions are always in a state of suspension and dissociation.I can't figure out which school or school, I'm afraid it's a magic way of playing with evil tricks.

"Have you figured it out?"

"……not yet."

"Then what a fart." Li Yuan clicked her lips.

"I mean... he should be okay." You Kaifeng tapped the pen tip on the paper, "He is very similar to me when he picks loquats last time. After reciting more than half of it... just, I can't figure out what's going on with him, but he's a good guy and he can hand it in."

Li Yuan was noncommittal.

After a while, he stood up and carried Nunu to the kitchen: "Copy it quickly. After copying, I'll take you to show me nothing." By the way, I returned the jar of loquat paste to him last time.The loquat cream is basically for Lin Yixiong to drink. He smokes all the year round and his bronchi is bad. Did it work out well? Li Yuan replied: Don't even think about it, it's out of print.

Li Yuan only dipped a little bit of it with her finger and took a sip. It was sticky and lightly sweet, mixed with acrid and sweet medicinal fragrance.

In fact, when we talk about it later, both Li Yuan and You Kaifeng still remember that evening very clearly.

The truth is this.People who never get angry, once they are out of the bottom line, their anger is overwhelming and black clouds overwhelm the city; in the same way, people who always laugh will also give people an inexplicable feeling when they cry. Shocking.The shock is that if you believe the level of sadness, even if you are as cheerful as him, you will be depressed because of it.You subconsciously agree with the reason of his sadness and even inexplicably empathize with him, and you are instantly exaggerated by the atmosphere, even if you don't know the reason at all.

When Li Yuan and You Kaifeng went to find Peng Xiaoman, they saw him squatting in front of their house.The yellow light of the evening outlines his sandy golden outline.He was fascinated by an unknown potted plant in the house next door.The focus is on the gray tear stains on the face, the pink and shiny nose, and the half snow-white finger biting in the mouth.

"I..." You Kaifeng was stunned, Zongzi changed his hand, pointed at Peng Xiaoman, and looked at Li Yuan, "He, he..."

Although sometimes it is shameful to praise others, but Li Yuan admits that his eyes are full of hope.It was as if he had lost his mind, full of small grievances and fragmentary sorrows, almost instinctively, Li Yuan's heart twitched in such a subtle and imperceptible way.

Then, there is a great but unspeakable curiosity and voyeuristic desire.

What are you sad about, why are you crying?

After thinking about it this way, I realized that the Dragon Boat Festival is actually not a good day to be happy or even celebrated.
