I still don't want to go to school today

Fu Luojia was thinking about how to get to the point: "Are you with them?"

Xu Zhibian looked at him with a little smile, "I don't have to go."

"Then, my treat?"

"Ah," Xu Zhibian was stunned for a rare moment, "You invite me?"

"What to eat?"

Xu Zhibian tilted his head, "The cafeteria will do."

"...Then what are you going to eat after following their advice? Isn't it also a cafeteria?"

"They," he glanced back, "it seems that they want to eat hot pot?"

"It's all right," Fu Luojia couldn't hide his clumsiness in taking the initiative to invite: "Do you want to eat hot pot? I mean, if you want to—"

"If you don't feel well, don't eat spicy food."

"It doesn't matter to me," Fu Luojia lifted the slipped schoolbag up, "you decide."

After jumping down the last three steps of the stairs, Xu Zhijian put his hands in his pockets and jumped lightly, turning around in a circle. "Just go to the cafeteria. Just the two of us."

Xu Zhibian didn't seem to be familiar with the dishes in the cafeteria, so he stuck his head into the window for a while before ordering.The side dish chef picked up the iron spoon and stirred the dishes he pointed out, and the small grids on the plate were filled to the brim.

Fu Luojia made a wrong position and passed Xu Zhijian, and put the meal card on the machine next to the window.The price of Xu Zhibian's seemingly plentiful meal was only 13 yuan, and the quality of the food in the cafeteria made him really embarrassed to say "should I order more".

He didn't feel hungry, so he randomly picked two vegetarian dishes that looked more authentic in color, and ordered a bottle of yogurt.

The table that Xu Zhibian and several other people used to eat takeaway was still empty, Fu Luojia stepped up and was about to go there, Xu Zhibian grabbed him: "Change the seat."

Fu Luojia understood that he didn't want to meet acquaintances, so he nodded.Xu Zhibian walked around to a somewhat worn-out dining table behind a load-bearing pillar.

The tabletop was not very flat, and the soup in Xu Zhijian's dinner plate overflowed along one end.

"I have paper." Xu Zhijian stopped his hand that was outstretched in a daze. "Are you still burning?"

"..." Fu Luojia took a step back and sat down.

Xu Zhibian looked at him for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand and leaned over.

Fu Luojia's back stiffened for a moment, but he didn't avoid the hand touching his head.Different from the time in the examination room, this time Xu Zhijian put his palms and fingers firmly on his forehead.

"...Can you really touch it?" Fu Luojia raised his face slightly, allowing his fingers to move up a little bit, and buried in the hairline in front of his forehead.

"Why can't you touch it?" Xu Zhibian was puzzled, "The temperature of my hand is different."

"It's rare for you to never find yourself..." Fu Luojia looked up at the faint veins on Xu Zhibian's forearm, "Is your hand cold?"

Xu Zhibian withdrew his hand, "I think you're still burning."

"...you touch your own head?"

Xu Zhijian brushed up his little bangs, "—Hey, why are mine so hot?"

"... Then I should have a fever." Fu Luojia picked up a piece of tofu.

In the end, Xu Zhibian only ate less than half of that pile of food.If it weren't for the few big mouthfuls of rice that he swallowed whole with a restrained expression at the end, he wouldn't even take up one-third of what he ate.

"Sorry, it tastes better than it looks—"

"—It's unpalatable, of course, otherwise you would think." Fu Luojia took two dinner plates and poured the leftovers into the bucket next to him. "Choose something else next time, this time I didn't invite you."

There were a total of three tables behind the load-bearing column. When they sat down, there was no one there. When they were about to leave, the table at the back was actually occupied.

Looking at Fu Luojia from the back, he felt familiar. The man turned around, and he was from class 9.

The student Li Xin who spoke on the rooftop not long ago.

Fu Luojia originally planned to pretend that he didn't see it, but Li Xin spoke first: "Have you finished eating?"

The implication is that I saw them here before.

"...Hmm. What's the matter?"

"It's him again." Li Xin said without thinking.

Fu Luojia found that he seemed to be talking to Xu Zhiyan.

Xu Zhiyan's answer was exactly the same as that of Fu Luojia: "Well, what's the matter?"

An understatement.

"Okay." Li Xin bit his chopsticks and laughed, "Then try to persevere."

Xu Zhijian didn't answer, just nodded casually.Then they have no intention of continuing to communicate.

Down from the cafeteria is the playground, and the sky has not yet darkened.Because the weather is not hot just after the exam, many people choose this time to come out to play.

All kinds of balls hit the ground one after another, sounding the sound of marching drums, and the whole field was alive and kicking, passing overhead from time to time.

"After the exam, all the classes should start preparing for the program." Xu Zhijian caught a rolling football with his ankle and kicked it back forcefully.

"Yeah. There was an art festival in my old school, and it was also during this time." Fu Luojia diverted the topic, "Actually, every class member came to sing on stage, and there was no serious rehearsed dance like your class .”

"We also have singing shows... but there are few. We have organized youth song competitions before, and many people have been thrown things on stage."

"why?"

"Because it's ugly."

Fu Luojia smiled. "I've been on stage too."

"Ah?" Xu Zhibian turned his head abruptly, "Singing?"

"correct."

"and then?"

"Then...then it's nothing. Didn't get thrown."

"You don't reject this?" Xu Zhibian asked seriously.

"No. Singing...it's very interesting." Besides, when the overhead lights were turned off, the auditorium was completely dark, and no one could see.

"To be honest, it's quite—surprised. The singing is pretty good." Xu Zhibian took a few steps back and walked side by side with him.

Fu Luojia guessed what he wanted to say, but after entering the teaching building, Xu Zhijian still kept hesitant to speak, and went all the way to the fifth floor.

"Wait for me tonight."

"……Um."

The voice-activated lights in the corridor went out behind Xu Zhibian.

Only a few teachers will comment on the monthly exam papers that have been tested, and most of them will send the printed answers directly.

When Fu Luojia returned to the classroom, the Chinese answers were already spread on his desk.

He took out the Chinese question paper folded into small pieces from the side pocket of his schoolbag, shook it out and glanced at it.

The first three were chosen by Xu Zhijian.

DCC.

The answer is DDC.

This is pretty accurate.

Take a closer look at the answer, and there is a handwritten note next to the answer of the different question: "There is controversy, this C/D will be awarded equally."

Fu Luojia had nothing to say.

After looking at the analysis that was longer than the entire question, he asked Zhou Linya: "Is Xu Zhijian's grades good?"

"Huh?" She paused the episode on her phone, "Who are you talking about?"

"Xu Zhijian."

"Hey, I'm really convinced, don't you just see who has good grades if you have good grades, okay? Isn't Xu Zhijian a student of art and sports? Why are you comparing this with him?"

"...I have no comparison. He is not an art student."

"Not an art student? How is it possible? Isn't he in Class 2?"

"Not all Class 2 are art students."

"I haven't seen him in the ranking of liberal arts."

"He probably hasn't had a lot of exams—"

"I really don't know about this, no one mentioned it, only you care about it—" Zhou Linya waved his hand. "Talking about how he's studying is weird, really. It's like farting in a serious situation."

"..."

After reading the comprehensive answers, he felt that the score this time might be higher than the previous few times.

Yang Min's draft paper was left on his desk, and the handwriting was so neat that it made people ashamed.But it was easy to see that there was something wrong with the calculation result of her last big question.With the style of the physics group reform paper, you may not get a few points for all the big questions.

He didn't even look at the math answers.

This monthly exam should be over with him.

Xu Zhibian was waiting for him at the door of the classroom this time.

He was the one who walked slowly in Class Nine after school, and there were only three people in the classroom after tidying up.

He, Li Xin, another boy named Sun Qiya.Li Xin and Sun Qiya were still sitting in their seats and did not stand up.

Fu Luojia walked to the door and was stopped by Li Xin. "Turn off the lights."

"...Now? Aren't you going?" He reached for the switch.

"Turn off the lights." Sun Qiya's tone was a little tougher.

"Isn't there someone waiting for you outside?" Li Xin said with a smile in his voice.

"..." Fu Luojia pressed the switch, frowning in the sudden darkness.

Some small but clear voices sounded impatiently in a corner of the classroom.

"Fu Luojia?" Xu Zhijian saw him through the light in the corridor. "Is your class finished? So fast."

Fu Luojia didn't speak, and went downstairs with Xu Zhibian in silence.

"what happened?"

"...It's nothing. Hurry up, in case the door is locked again."

……

Fu Luojia couldn't hold back and sat in the back seat in a daze, so that he ignored Xu Zhiman's hard work.

"Do you want to—during this school celebration—" Xu Zhijian finally opened his mouth, and his speech was rarely smooth, "If you like, I think you can come. To be honest, I am also looking forward to—"

Fu Luojia narrowed his eyes in the night wind, "...that's ok." Then he asked casually, completely unconsciously, "What do you want to hear?"

It was only after a while that he realized that Xu Zhibian hadn't spoken any more.

"?"

"...I was thinking. It's so difficult."

"What's so difficult? I can do whatever I know."

"The difficulty is that I want to hear everything."
