Seventeen

Shen Ke sat on his seat, looking out the window absently.

There is an exam tomorrow, and Yan Yu hasn't come to school yet.

Called her, Yan Yu answered, and only briefly said that something happened at home.

Of course Shen Ke was worried, but she knew there was nothing she could do, and bothering her would only add to the chaos, so she had to ask her to eat on time and take care of herself.

Yan Yu complied, and the two never spoke again.

She was in a daze when suddenly there was a commotion in front of her. She turned her head to look over and found that it was Yan Yu.

Her face was pale and she lost a lot of weight. Shen Ke just wanted to open his mouth when he saw the black mask on her arm and understood everything.

Yan Yu was very sad, more regretful.

Regret why I didn't spend more time with her, regret why I didn't stay with my parents when they returned to their hometown, and regret not seeing her for the last time.

But there is no regret medicine in this world.

Although grandma has always wanted a grandson and expressed regret that she can only have one granddaughter, she still loves her very much.

In fact, grandma has been very uncomfortable for a long time, but she didn't let her parents tell her because she was afraid of affecting her exam.

Yan Yu's birthday is coming soon, and grandma is still very happy to prepare for her birthday.

Grandma remembers her birthday very clearly, whether it is in the lunar calendar or the solar calendar. Every year, she will sew a dried flower pillow for her and make a lot of delicious food for her.

But she never had the chance to spend her birthday with grandma again.

Yan Yu blinked, squeezed the mist out of her eyes, and sat down on the seat.

Shen Ke didn't say anything, but gently rubbed her hair.

Li Yunxia was talking about the exam time and important points on the podium. The careful girl took a small notebook and wrote it down. Yan Yu listened with a blank expression, without moving. Shen Ke, who is lazy and doesn't like to write.

After it was over, Yan Yu saw a piece of paper in front of her, on which was what the teacher had just said, written by Shen Ke to her, and a cartoon bear was drawn on it, which was very cute.

Yan Yu raised her head and forced a pale smile at Shen Ke.

After school, they took the school bus home together, Yan Yu sat silently by the window, Shen Ke gently held her hand, it was July, but her hand was cold, Shen Ke tried to wrap her hand in his own In his hands, he still couldn't warm her up.

This was the first parting in her life. She was so caught off guard that she was completely hit. From midsummer to severe winter, the world temporarily lost its color.

Yan Yu had the most painful birthday in her life.

She started to suffer from insomnia, bad temper, quarreling with her parents, getting angry with herself, and lying on the bed most of the time, not knowing what she was thinking.

Zhao Yuqi also felt uncomfortable, but there were still a lot of things to deal with in her hometown, and Yan Yu's father couldn't do it alone, so she had to go and help.

Before leaving, she asked Yan Yu to eat on time, but Yan Yu didn't answer, I don't know if she heard it.

She just lay there dry, not eating, her phone turned off, as if she wanted to cut off all ties with the world.

Until the doorbell rang loudly.

Yan Yu went to open the door. She had been lying down for too long, her eyes were dizzy, and she fell forward and fell into the arms of the visitor.

The man smelled good and familiar.

It's Shen Ke.

Shen Ke helped her up, using so much force that Yan Yu felt pain.

Shen Ke frowned and stared at her, with vague anger in his eyes.

She helped Yan Yu to the bed, and there was a handmade pillow on it, which was obviously only half finished, the other half had rough stitches, and some dried flowers inside were exposed.

Shen Ke raised her chin, making her look at him.

"Why do you do this to yourself?" Shen Ke asked.

Yan Yu didn't speak.

"You did nothing wrong, Yan Yu." Shen Ke gently brushed the broken hair from her face behind her ears.

"You don't have to."

Yan Yu's lips trembled, she raised her arms, trying to hook Shen Ke's neck, this was her favorite position before, it made her feel safe and protected.

How could Shen Ke not know what she wanted to do, she half knelt down and asked Yan Yu to hug her.

Yan Yu buried her face in her shoulder, sobbing softly.

Shen Ke patted her on the back lightly, his emotions blurred like a drop of ink dripping into water.

Well, even though she is haggard, thin, and has dark circles like a giant panda, she is still her beloved little girl.

Yan Yu's eyes were swollen from crying, but her spirits improved a lot.

Shen Ke went to the kitchen to make porridge for her, the rice was cooked until soft and sticky, and Yan Yu ate most of the bowl with dignity.

Then put water to take a bath, Yan Yu soaked in a lot of bubbles, Shen Ke took a towel and wrapped ice cubes in it to cool her eyes.

His eyes slipped down carelessly, and when he saw a pair of thin and protruding collarbones, Shen Ke was angry and distressed, so he stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead.

Yan Yu looked at her fawningly while covering her forehead, her jet-black eyelashes were wet, and her warm brown eyes made one's heart melt into puddles of water immediately.

Shen Ke gently rubbed her face with the back of his hand, looked at her brightened eyes, and smiled softly.

Life is a big parting, and her little girl always has to come out of the shadows, become no longer weak, and face the next parting with strength.

Of course, if she wanted to cry, Shen Ke would always be willing to hold her and give her a shoulder to rely on.

Yan Yu, who had washed away her fragrance in vain, finally regained her former vigor. She turned on her mobile phone and dialed Zhao Yuqi's number hesitantly.

The phone was connected, and Zhao Yuqi's weary voice came, and Yan Yu muttered: "Mom, I'm sorry."

"Mom is fine, baby. Mom knows you are sad, but you can't be sad forever because of a sad thing. You have to be strong, you know?"

"Yeah." Yan Yu held back the tears that welled up.

"Yan Yu, Dad's attitude was bad last time, don't be angry with Dad." Dad said to her from the side.

"No, Dad, I was wrong." Yan Yu whispered.

"Mom and Dad won't be angry with you, go to bed early, baby." Mom said.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Yu returned to the bedroom and saw Shen Ke half lying on her bed, trying to repair the small handmade pillow.

Shen Ke has always been lazy and cool. It was the first time I saw her doing needlework, but it was a little funny.

Yan Yu leaned over and hugged her waist, and asked, "Can you mend it?"

"Yes, but it will take some time." Shen Ke turned his head and kissed her forehead lightly.

"Shen Ke."

"Ok?"

"I was wrong." Yan Yu just turned on the phone, and there were many text messages and missed calls from Shen Ke. However, Yan Yu has forgotten that she stubbornly wants to draw a line with the world and punish herself in childish ways.

That's why Shen Ke was angry with her, but Shen Ke never gave up on her.

"Hmph, I haven't forgiven you yet." Shen Xuexue replied in Yan Yu's tone.

She didn't learn like that, but made them both laugh.

Yan Yu clung to her rascally, like a small plaster, the kind that Shen Ke would not tear off even if he was so hot.

Shen Ke let her lean against him, and then felt his arm sink, and Yan Yu fell asleep.

I haven't slept well for a long time, Yan Yu slept very deeply, and it was already past nine o'clock when I woke up the next day.

Shen Ke had already left, there was milk and bread on the table, and Shen Ke also left a note, which told Yan Yu to reheat the milk if it got cold, with a cartoon bear head drawn on the bottom, very cool.

Yan Yu read it several times, finally put the sticky note in the book, and smiled with her lips pursed.

When it was time to go back to school, Yan Yu sighed in anticipation when she saw her grades.

The class ranks 42, and the grade is 150 backwards.

Shen Ke is as good as ever, the second in the class, grade 71, higher than some students in class one and two.

Shen Ke rubbed Yan Yu's hair at the side, and comforted her, "Not bad, if I'm not in the mood, I can just hand in the paper for nothing."

Li Yunxia who just walked past Shen Ke: "..."

"Shen Ke, you stay here later." Li Yunxia said seriously.

Shen Ke stuck out his tongue, who would have thought it would be so small, and it happened to be heard by the head teacher.

Yan Yu smiled and squeezed her hand, indicating that he would stay with her.

There was another commotion when handing out homework, Shen Ke told Yan Yu, "Tap a little and see if there are any missing."

Their homework was placed on the table in advance by the teacher, basically there would be no problems, but Yan Yu obediently checked it.

"Hmm..." Yan Yu looked at Shen Ke's, then looked at her own, and asked in confusion, "Why do I feel... that our homework is different?"

"How is it possible?" Shen Ke opened the check, his expression became strange, and when he saw the teacher who gave the question, he finally found the problem.

"My homework is in class one and two." Shen Ke whispered.

The author has something to say:

Even though she was pale, swollen, and even pregnant with someone else's child, I just had to look at her, just one look, and all kinds of tenderness came to my heart. —— "Lolita"
