Mu Zhiqiu

Chapter 56

After Ziqiuzhi met Yanmu, his mood changed very obviously, which aroused the awareness of his friend Su Duoer.

"Damn girl, who do you miss?" After class, Duo'er looked at Ziqiu who was sitting by the window, staring blankly at the distance.

"Uh, what?" Ziqiu looked at Duo'er blankly.

"I don't admit it! I want you to refuse to admit it!" Duo'er casually picked up the book next to her and slapped Ziqiu on the forehead.

"It's really violent!" Ziqiu reached out to remove the book that Duo'er had placed on her head, and put it back on the desk next to her.

"Haha, let me meet you. Who is that person who fascinates you!" Duo'er said, pulling Ziqiu's ponytail with her hand.

"What kind of obsession, you have eaten up your Chinese books!" Ziqiu couldn't laugh or cry.

"Let's get down to business. You can take a sneak peek at any time. I'll help you take a look, long-sighted." Duo'er said seriously.

"Where did it go?" Although Ziqiu didn't say anything, he still wanted to tell Duo'er in his heart.

However, how to say this matter.It doesn't seem to be easy to explain.Yanmu, who she likes, is already liked by someone else.The answer was that he didn't like her.Ziqiu had already wrapped himself in in his heart.

"Speak or not!"

"I'll take you there after school, and I agree, just take a look and leave."

"Oh. Yes, I swear!" Dol raised her hands above her head.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

There are clouds drifting by outside the window, quietly taking away the time that belongs to it.

After finally getting through school, Duo'er seemed more anxious than Ziqiu.

After listening to Ziqiu's words, the subsequent courses have become blank.She was thinking, what kind of person is it?It will make Ziqiu miss him for so long.She hasn't met anyone she likes yet, and she can't deeply understand Ziqiu's unforgettable thoughts.

Before the end of the last class, Ziqiu and Duoer had already packed their schoolbags.Waiting for the moment the bell rang and ran out of the school gate.

The two rode their bikes and rushed to Iwaki's school.The trees on both sides of the street were thrown far away by the two of them.

"Why haven't you seen it yet? It's almost dark!" Duo'er said anxiously.

"I can't help it either!" Ziqiu looked at her helplessly.

"That class doesn't know?"

"do not know!"

"I really admire you! You actually like such a person you don't understand."

"I think I understand it quite well!"

"Speechless..." Duo'er sat on a stone stool in the aisle of the campus.

"What about people?"

"how could I know."

"Is there a phone?

"Yes!" Duo'er reminded Ziqiu.

"Let's go to the phone booth! Can't you come here for nothing!" Duo'er took Ziqiu and pushed the car forward.

"Xia Ziqiu!" A voice came from behind.

"You are!" Ziqiu heard the voice and turned to look at him. It turned out to be Yanmu's classmate, the classmate who played together.

"Looking for Yanmu?" The boy turned his face up and shook his long hair covering his ears, and walked up to them, looking at the two of them.

"En!" Ziqiu nodded, looking at him longingly, hoping to get his whereabouts from his mouth.

"Cool." Duo'er whispered in Ziqiu's ear.

The boy seemed to hear it, touched his hair a little shyly, coughed twice pretending to be calm, and then said: "He accompanied Xiao Ruoran to the bookstore early in the morning!"

"Oh, it's okay." Ziqiu's heart ached from something.He paused for a moment, but said without changing his face.Although her eyes kept looking at the scattered leaves on the ground, the soles of her feet rubbed back and forth on the ground.

"Who is Xiao Ruoran?" Duo'er was confused and couldn't help but say it.

"Iwaki's girlfriend!" the boy said firmly, with a longing look on his face.

"What, what? I have a girlfriend!" Duo'er yelled after hearing this.

"Get busy! I'll show my classmates around your school. It's beautiful." Ziqiu hurriedly covered Duo'er's mouth, forced a smile, and pulled Duo'er to leave.

"Your name?" Duo'er raised her head and stared at the boy in front of her, liking it more and more.His face was flushed red, and his little heart was pounding.

"Zhou Chengze, classmate Xu Yanmu." The boy changed his embarrassment just now and said confidently.

"It's nice, the name is nice. My name is Su Duo'er, nice to meet you!" Duo'er said excitedly.She was completely attracted by the boy in front of her.

"Are you waiting for him to come back?"

"no need!"

"I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first!" Zhou Chengze finished speaking and left.

"What are you looking at?" Ziqiu flickered in front of Duo'er's eyes.

"It's so individual! I like it!" Duo'er said shyly.

"No way, could this be a legendary love affair!" Ziqiu said in surprise.

"What a bad girl, you've finally become smarter!" Duo'er said with a smile.

"You're so cute!" Ziqiu laughed.

"Who is Ruoran? The girl's name!"

"Iwaki's classmate."

"It's not a classmate, it's a girlfriend!"

"Oh! Possibly, yes!"

"Then you, hey! Why did you put up with such a thing. You have to use some snacks to get it back."

"I don't want to grab it?

"Then what else do you like about him?

"Like and being his girlfriend should, perhaps, be two different things."

"Stupid as hell, there is no salvation!"

"Does he know you like him?"

"do not know!"

"Then what are you doing?"

"I don't care, as long as he is happy!"

"It doesn't matter what, chase!"

"No!"

"If you don't chase, I will!" Duo'er said happily.

"Ah! Who are you chasing after?"

"Zhou Chengze!"

"You, hey...you're speechless!"

After being separated from Duo'er, she didn't go home, but came to the stream alone.Looking at the autumn scenery of the mountains and the gurgling stream, she sat on a slightly cold boulder, watching the bamboo forests on both sides and the stream disappear at the end of the river bend.

Perhaps, it is better to just like it lightly, just like this golden autumn, this green bamboo forest, this pure stream, and the blue sky, harmoniously forming a beautiful picture.

A few days later, in the early morning, Ziqiu was riding a bicycle, eating steamed buns, passing through a quiet street, and met Duoer who was riding a bicycle.

"I'm holding hands with him!" Duo'er snatched the bun from Ziqiu's hand, and said mysteriously in her ear, with sweetness and happiness, her blushing face was like a freshly bloomed flower.

"Oh my God! So fast!" Ziqiu thought it was incredible.In just a few days, Duo'er actually chased after Zhou Chengze.

"Who is like you, slower than a snail." Duo'er felt sorry for Ziqiu, and ate the buns.

"What are you talking about? You really chased him!" Ziqiu asked curiously.After Duoer met Zhou Chengze, she was no longer seen after school every day.I don't know what she does?Didn't hear what she said the next day?We used to go home together, although we could only walk together for more than ten minutes, but that short time covered so many secrets in youth.

"Yes, didn't it mean that men chasing women are separated by a mountain, and women chasing men are separated by a veil! So I tried my best to tear the layer of tulle." Duo'er said with a smile.

"It must be very happy!" Ziqiu said enviously.

"Not bad!" Duo'er held her face, looking at the blue sky outside the window.

"By the way, I heard from my family yesterday that Xu Yanmu was ill."

"What disease?"

"I fainted while doing morning exercises. I heard that I was malnourished and didn't eat on time!"

"Ah! What should I do?" Ziqiu said anxiously, holding Duo'er's arm.

"Don't worry about it, he fainted and his girlfriend sent him to the school doctor."

"Oh!"

"Hey! You only know how to do it! Oh! Oh! It makes you panic when you look at it!" Duo'er looked at Ziqiu's appearance, with a mentality of hating iron but not steel.

"Then what should I do? Give him food!" Ziqiu looked at Duo'er pitifully.

"You are stupid, if you like him so much, go and grab him! Delivering food, delivering food, what's the use of making some trivial things that don't itch?" Duo'er said angrily.

"But he doesn't like me, and it's useless to steal it!" Ziqiu finished crying and ran out.

"Tell him that liking him is your business. Whether he likes you or not is his business!" Duo'er said loudly, looking at Ziqiu's disappearing figure.

Tell him I like him.

What is the use?It just added to his troubles.

What he likes is Xiao Ruoran, it's obvious.If you say it, maybe you can't even be a friend.She was trying her best to comfort herself, looking for a reason to persuade herself, a reason not to confess.She doesn't have the courage to do something as brave as Do'er now.

Ziqiu sat alone in a corner of the campus, looking at the wild chrysanthemums all over the ground with tears in his eyes.Why do I feel like it, so uncomfortable.The flowers should be gone, look at how comfortable they are, swaying with the wind.

How is Iwaki?feel better now?Although she comforted herself, she was still worried about his body.Why don't you learn to cook and cook what he likes to eat.Ziqiu is happy just thinking about it, thinking about the way he eats, she will feel so happy.

Three months after meeting Xu Yanmu, Ziqiu began to learn how to cook.For nothing else, I just want to give it to Xu Yanmu every weekend.Try to take care of him like a friend.

Ziqiu pestered her mother to teach her how to cook and learn her mother's housekeeping skills.She even discovered that she liked cooking.

Before that, she was washing dishes at most.Ziqiu carefully memorized the dishes and steps in a small notebook.

She entangled Duo'er, and learned from Zhou Chengze that Yanmu loves potato shreds.She took a small notebook and wrote stroke by stroke on the yellowed paper.How to do it?How much seasoning?How long to cook?Ziqiu remembered it clearly.

When practicing shredded potatoes, I didn't know how many holes my fingers were cut.

For the first time, when she saw the blood dripping from her fingers, she felt the slightest pain in her fingers, hugged her fingers, squatted on the ground, and cried.The shredded potatoes of different thicknesses and lengths lay quietly on the cutting board, without any sign of comforting her.

The second time, when she felt the pain, she quickly put her finger into her mouth, gently licked the blood with the tip of her tongue, quickly opened the drawer, found a band-aid, tore it off with her mouth, and wrapped it up.

Every time after that, she held her breath and changed the speed from slow to fast, and those uniform potato shreds flowed out neatly from under her pair of fast and uniform knife edges.Excited and excited, she couldn't help laughing.

When she looked at the two scars of different lengths and shades on her fingers, she muttered to herself.This will be the most beautiful mark in this life, she grinned involuntarily.

"Ziqiu is ready to be a cook." Mom said happily looking at Ziqiu who was busy in the kitchen.

"Hee hee, Mom, I'll cook for you in the future." Ziqiu grimaced.

Really hard work pays off.

Ziqiu was able to eat the food that he had been tossing around for a while.She looked at the food and wept with joy.He picked up the chopsticks with trembling hands, turned his eyes around the table, picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork, and dropped it on the ground halfway into his mouth.She hurriedly picked it up, blew on it, and put it in her mouth.Well, that's the taste.

She laughed, couldn't help laughing.Grab the food on the plate with both hands and send it to your mouth.Delicious, she laughed and burst into tears.Yes, how happy, hard work is finally not in vain.In fact, I have to thank Yanmu, because of him, she learned the ability not to starve to death.

With a mouthful of food in her mouth, she turned, turned, jumped, and babbled around the room.Suddenly, she turned around and returned to the room, picked up the puppet on the bed, held it in the palm of her hand, and said seriously: You are lucky, you boy!

Ziqiu hugged her puppet, wondering whether she should tell Yanmu that she could cook.This puppet was a birthday present from her mother in the autumn of the year Xu Yanmu left.

With it, it is like having Rockwood by your side, who can whisper to each other all the time.

The author has something to say:

"autumn"

drop of gold

break through the clouds

fall on the tip of the grass

Smudge out the whole autumn

grass on both sides of the fence

Printed with the shadow of whirling

Holding the sun's gentle steps

a cappella

long stream

a bird skimming the water

take away the fish's tears

whether joy or sorrow

Chrysanthemums in front of the grass house

Shake off clothes

Looking at the green bamboo forest on the other side

Desolate

Only after I swallowed the whole autumn can I better understand the sadness of autumn--Ziqiu
