When Qi Yunze saw Mo Pingfan again, it was the day before school started. This year's Lunar New Year had been a boring time for him. Without Mo Pingfan bickering and chatting around him, he felt that his life was empty.Except for Thirty'er, on the first and second day of junior high school, he went to visit relatives' houses, and Qi Yunze spent the next few days in a small bookstore next to the school.

In the past few days of Chinese New Year, the business of the bookstore is very slow, and the boss just opens the door for a moment, and sometimes he closes the door at three or four o'clock in the afternoon and goes home to play mahjong.

Qi Yunze knew that Pingfan liked to read martial arts novels when he was free, such as those written by Jin Yong, Gu Long, Wen Ruian, and Liang Yusheng. He could chew every book for a long time. On the afternoon when Pingfan came back, he specially picked one in the bookstore. Ben Gulong's "The Prodigal Son of the Border Town" and a copy of Liang Yusheng's "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountains" were bought back, and they planned to give them as New Year gifts when they picked him up at the station.There is a bus at the gate of the school, and it takes one and a half hours to get to the train station.But as soon as Yunze left the door of the study, a person walked up to him, this person he did not expect - Ouyang Xiaoxiao.

Qi Yunze watched Ouyang getting closer and closer to him, and his eyes began to look into his eyes, his mouth opened and closed, as if to say something: "Student, let me go..."

"Oh...oh!" Only then did Qi Yunze realize that he was standing between Ouyang and the door of the study, he hurriedly moved a step sideways, and gave way to Ouyang to enter the study.

The sudden appearance of Ouyang Xiaoxiao made Qi Yunze's heart throbbing again. Since finishing the exam, he has been stuck with Mo Fanfan all day, and he almost forgot about this unrequited love that made him entangled.The situation that I had imagined countless times appeared in front of my eyes, didn't I always suffer from no chance to approach her, didn't I always don't know how to strike up a conversation?What could be better than the chance of just the two of them in the same bookstore during Chinese New Year?

Qi Yunze looked at his watch, there were still more than two hours before the ordinary train arrived at the station, and there was still time. "I'll go over and get to know her!" Qi Yunze thought to himself.

Walking into the bookstore again, Yunze saw Ouyang Xiaoxiao next to the shelf of romance novels at a glance, and he mustered up the courage to walk over.

"Well, classmate, you are from Class [-], Senior [-], right?" I was so nervous that I could barely straighten my tongue.

"Well, you're from class three, right? I've seen you in the corridor." Ouyang Xiaoxiao looked up at Qi Yunze.

She actually remembered my face!In an instant, Qi Yunze felt comfortable all over, and the air in the study room was much fresher.

"Yes, yes, my name is Qi Yunze"

"Ouyang Xiaoxiao, you are very familiar with Mo Pingfan, I think you were the one who took him to and from school by bike after his leg was injured."

"Hmm..." Although he caused the leg injury, Qi Yunze obviously didn't want Ouyang to know this fact. "The relationship is not bad. Pingfan is my good friend. When he is injured, taking him to and from school is what friends should do." Qi Yunze said, trying to make his image sound tall and friendly in front of Ouyang.

Sure enough, Ouyang heard it and stared at him for a while: "How did I hear that Mo Pingfan's leg injury is also because of you?"

"Ah?" A drop of cold sweat broke out on Qi Yunze's forehead, "It's an accident, an accident, it's purely a small probability event on the basketball court."

"Hey" Ouyang looked at Qi Yunze's nervous expression, covered his mouth and laughed. "Why are you nervous? Mo Pingfan and I are junior high school classmates. I studied in S city in junior high school before, but my family moved to Z city when I was in the third year of junior high school. I didn't expect to meet him again in high school."

It turned out that the two were classmates in junior high school, Qi Yunze knew it well.

"Can you help me get the book on it, the one with the green leather." Ouyang pointed to the bookshelf.Obviously at this height, she can't reach it even if she stands on tiptoe.

Now that his crush has spoken, Qi Yunze took down the book full of joy.

"My cousin is pregnant, and she wants to read a book with a big belly, but she can't come out, so my mother asked me to come out to buy for her, and asked me to bring a bunch of snacks home. How can I move, really Doubt if I’m your own.” Ouyang’s personality is very friendly, although he and Qi Yunze were just acquainted before, but they are both in the same school and grade, so there is nothing to be recognized as a biological child, so he directly complained about her old age in front of Yunze. mom.

Qi Yunze looked at the big bag of snacks at Ouyang Xiaoxiao's feet, and the four books in his hands, two romantic novels written by Su Daojia, and two books on health education for pregnant women.If you don't help at this time, when will you wait.Yunze didn't even think about it, so he said directly: "I'll help you take it home!"

"Will you take me home? Are you okay later?"

"It's okay."

"Okay, thank you then. I'll treat you to milk tea when I get home. My mother made it herself." Ouyang didn't meet Yunze either. After paying for the book, he asked the boss to give him a bag, and Yunze carried it in his left hand. Holding a snack bag, holding two novels bought by Ouyang in his right hand, and Ouyang himself holding the complete works of pregnant women's health care for his cousin in his hand, and the two left the bookstore. The book should come in time, Yun Ze said in his heart.

Ouyang's home is not far from the school, but it's in the opposite direction from Yunze's home. After walking for about ten minutes, they saw the gate of Ouyang's home community.

"The first building you enter, the unit in the middle is the second floor." Ouyang pointed to the window of his house.

"it is good."

Qi Yunze helped Ouyang put things at the door of her house, Ouyang's mother saw that a half-grown man was helping the daughter with books and snacks, so she insisted on letting Yunze stay to eat some fruit and drink some milk tea.

Yunze sat on the sofa of Ouyang's house, feeling very excited. Ouyang's sofa, Ouyang's mother, Ouyang's father, and her cousin's family, facing the sofa is Ouyang Xiaoxiao's room. From the angle Yunze was sitting, he could even see Ouyang Xiaoxiao's room, the pink pillow she put on the bed, and a few magazines thrown on the desk.

Haha, today is really lucky, I must tell Mo Pingfan later.

Mo Fanfan? !It's over!

Qi Yunze looked at the wall clock in the living room of Ouyang's house, it was over, it was 03:30, and the ordinary car arrived at City Z at 5 o'clock.

"Uncle, aunt, I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that something happened at home, so I'll be leaving first." Saying goodbye to Ouyang Xiaoxiao's parents in a hurry.Qi Yunze picked up his schoolbag and ran to the bus stop in front of the school.

"Master, wait a minute, wait a moment." When there were still 30 meters away from the station, Qi Yunze saw that the No. 1 bus bound for the train station closed its doors and was about to leave the station.Although he called master several times, the bus driver obviously didn't want to accept him as an apprentice. Watching the bus go slowly, Qi Yunze panted roughly, and greeted the bus driver a hundred times in his heart.

"It's over, the money is all used to buy books, and it's not enough to take a taxi there." Yunze looked at the wallet with only a pitiful ten yuan, why not return the book, look again, damn, the bookstore is closed up!

"Fuck! Why are you so unlucky?!"

Qi Yunze kicked a pillar at the bus station

"Sloppy, it hurts me to death." The steel bar column was so strong that it was kicked by Yunze, and the shape didn't even change, but the pain made him almost tear up.

How unlucky... Qi Yunze looked helpless, and could only obediently wait for the bus at the station...

Therefore, when a person is unlucky, drinking cold water will stuff his teeth.Normally, the bus runs every 10 minutes, Yunze waited another 10 minutes before arriving. During the holiday, there were no cars on the road and no one was on the bus, but the bus driver drove very slowly.Looking at the passing cars next to him, Yunze couldn't help asking: "Master, can you drive faster, I'm in a hurry."

"Young man, don't worry, this car is old, and its speed is too fast, I'm afraid its engine can't stand it." The driver is a fat man with a good temper. Seeing that Yunze was really in a hurry, he increased the speed by such a lost. "Look, young man, this speed is okay."

"Hey... It seems that it is destined to be too late." Yun Ze silently buried his face between his hands...

After getting off the bus, Yunze looked at his watch. It was already six o'clock. He still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. During the Spring Festival travel season, the trains tend to be late. He looked at the big screen at the entrance of the station, but he didn't find the place where the ordinary girls were sitting. train times.

"Uncle, has the train from City S to City Z arrived?" Yunze asked the ticket-checking uncle wearing a military coat at the exit.

"It's the station, it's on time at 05:30."

Hey, it's still late, Mo Pingfan is dragging a broken leg, and Aunt Li looks so weak, why go back.

Qi Yunze took a look, the car had only arrived at the station for half an hour, and it was impossible for the girls to go too fast, so they were probably waiting for the car somewhere.He ran to the station bus terminal to search, and then to the taxi waiting area to search, but found nothing.

Qi Yunze was discouraged. Although the station in winter was full of people, the howling cold wind was still quite biting. Mo Pingfan and his wife were not found, so Qi Yunze boarded the bus home in frustration.

It took another hour and a half to wander around, and when Qi Yunze came downstairs to Mo Pingfan's house, it was already past eight o'clock. Qi Yunze, who hadn't eaten dinner, was so hungry that his chest stuck to his back, and the bus on the return journey was crowded with It was densely packed, and the windows of the car were tightly sealed in winter. After getting out of the car, Yunze felt dizzy and his limbs ached. He finally got to the downstairs of Pingfan's house. When he looked up at the window of Pingfan's house, it was pitch black. Unwilling to give up, Qi Yunze walked around to the north side of the building, counted the windows, and counted the number one in Pingfan's house, but to his disappointment, the inside of the windows was still dark.

Qi Yunze was a little puzzled, where did he go?I just got home, so I should have a good rest at home, but no matter how exhausted I am from the journey, it is impossible to turn off the lights and go to sleep at this hour, should I visit his house?Thinking about it, Qi Yunze walked up the stairs.

"Dong dong dong" Yunze knocked on the door lightly, but there was no response from inside. "Dong dong dong" he increased his strength, but there was still no sound behind the heavy anti-theft door. The door opened, and an old lady carrying a garbage bag came out.

"Auntie, do you know if this family is back?"

During Qi Yunze's vacation, he ran to Pingfan's house all day long. The neighbor's aunt saw that he looked familiar, so she told him: "They came back around 06:30, but they went out after a while. I think someone else came to pick them up."

It seems that I won't be able to see Mo Fanfan today. I knew that I shouldn't have struck up a conversation with Ouyang in the afternoon.At this moment, Qi Yunze regretted that his intestines were turning green. He was counting the days and looking forward to his return. He also thought about taking him to the park to see the lantern show in the last two days before school started. He even prepared New Year's gifts for him, but just Missed the last few steps, missed these few minutes and missed.

Qi Yunze returned home resentfully, ate some food left by his mother, and lay down on the bed to sleep.
