The incident happened in the afternoon of the second day when school was over.

As soon as he entered the kitchen door, he saw his mother's face in the yellow light in the refrigerator door, very serious.

"Foraka."

"……what?"

"What's going on here?" His mother turned sideways, revealing the intact food in the refrigerator behind her with plastic wrap.

It was a lunch she had prepared before she left.

Fu Luojia lay on the bed for a whole day, and when he got up, his burnt-out brain missed this matter, and he didn't think about it afterwards.In the evening, he and his mother ate in the cafeteria separately, so today when his mother was preparing to make lunch and opened the refrigerator, he found out. "that……"

"Did you not eat? Or did you eat out at noon that day?" The anger was already gathering momentum.

"...Just, a classmate treat—"

"A classmate again? Where did you get so many classmates! If you don't want to eat in the future, tell me sooner, don't waste your feelings and food!"

"It's not that I can't eat..."

"You don't need to eat it! I won't force you anymore, living with me has always made you feel very uncomfortable, right?! Every time I do this and that for you, it turns out that I am all self-indulgent!!" She closed the refrigerator door , with his back against the refrigerator door, arms crossed.

Today's angry point is actually a bit strange, and the words are heavy.It may be that there is something else that makes her uncomfortable, but now she has found a way to vent.

Without saying a word, Fu Luojia went to the sink and flushed the two cups in his hand.

"You said your classmates were treating you, right? Come on, tell me who it is, let me see if I recognize you?"

The cup is put down.

"you do not know."

"Then what are you lying about?"

"...Why are you lying again?"

"You can't tell who it is at all, so there is no such person. I know your tricks, what excuses are you looking for, just say that you don't care about my cooking?!"

"..." Fu Luojia looked at her. "mom."

He just heard a choke in her voice.

"……What’s wrong with you?"

The fucking shoulder slid a few centimeters down the refrigerator door. "I'm fine!"

She cried a lot, but she usually started crying in a place where no one could see her, and she seldom cried in front of him.Fu Luojia silently handed her a few pieces of paper, and she opened his hand with a slap. "Don't bother you!"

Fu Luojia plucked up the courage to wade into the minefield, "My dad...has he contacted you recently?"

His mother slammed her head on the refrigerator door: "Your father, what is your father, he is not your father! Do you think he still recognizes you? You call 'dad' so diligently, they don't think you are his son! I It looks like you all look alike, one or two are all—"

really.

Can't expect to do anything fucking new today.

Fu Luojia waited for his mother to cry for a while, and gave her another piece of paper.It was picked up this time.

The rep was barely able to communicate.

"Let me make fried rice with eggs. Take a rest first." He glanced at the bowl of leftover rice next to the gas stove, "Can you let me, I'll take some eggs."

"You only make your own, I won't eat yours." She took off her apron and threw it on the ground and left.

There are no green onions in the house, and the quality of egg fried rice has dropped a few grades without the embellishment of tender green.He didn't dare not do the fucking portion, although that portion would most likely be left on the dining table until it was completely cool.

When you eat something you make yourself, you will lack a process of enjoying the taste - because you are completely aware of what you put in it.

His mother was not in the living room, so he probably locked himself in the bedroom again.But he still didn't dare to put the phone on the table openly.Xu Zhibian said that the playlist he wanted to make hadn't been sent yet, and a "1" popped up from his new friend.

He opened it casually, and verified that the message read "the number given by Xu Zhijian".

The head is black with a light spot inside.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed.Nothing has been sent over there.

He is polite: "You are?"

The screen turned off and on again, the bedroom door rang suddenly, he put away his phone, and didn't have time to see what the man replied in a hurry.

"Your Teacher Ye's call, come and answer it." His mother walked up to him quickly, and forced the handle of the dusty landline at home into his hand.

The telephone in his house has been used for a long time, and he pays a lot of money every month to keep it from shutting down.After coming to No. [-] Middle School, Fu Luojia filled in the father's contact information on all information collection forms.

He and Mr. Ye obviously have a fucking phone number, so I don't know what it means to dial this number at this time.

"……Hey?"

"Hey, what are you calling teacher!" His mother stood aside with one hand on her hip.

"That... Ye... Teacher Ye, right?" He slightly covered the receiver with his palm.

"It's me. The number you left is your landline, right?"

She seemed to mean something, but he didn't want to think about it. "right."

She didn't ask why.After a while, there was a sound of flipping pages. "Did you eat with your mother?"

Fu Luojia can barely chat with the teacher when he is not in school. "Soon, how about you?"

"I haven't finished the paper here, I'll eat it when I'm done—"

"……You have worked hard."

The other side actually took this casual sentence seriously: "It's not hard, you can get good grades in the exam, why is our teacher so hard?"

"..." This phone call was really weird.

His mother pulled a stool and sat next to him, and wiped away tears with a few pieces of paper.

Fu Luojia is sitting on pins and needles. "No no……"

"I dug out your paper and read it."

"..."

"Do you know that I did well in the exam this time?" There was a smile in the voice over there, "I got 147 in English. I must be the first in the grade in a single subject."

"..." Fu Luojia glanced at his mother, "Not necessarily..."

"Zhao Min is 141 this time. She is the tallest I have seen except you. You are also much taller than her this time. I think the number one is stable."

"……what."

"Tell your mother about it and make her happy."

"Just... nothing else?" He squeezed the receiver tighter again.

His mother interjected in dissatisfaction: "What are you talking about?!"

"Nothing else. Why don't you sound very happy? I'm so happy for you. How much progress has been made? How much was it last time? Fifth, right? This is also the first time someone in class nine took the first place in the exam. -"

"It's not that I'm unhappy... I just feel that a monthly exam won't..."

"Why not?"

"It's not like you call yourself for this..." He lowered his voice very low, as if his mother didn't hear it.

"Why don't you pass the monthly exam? The monthly exam is the same level of difficulty as the college entrance exam! This means that you can also get excellent results in the college entrance exam! It's possible to go to Qingbei!"

"I just don't think it's necessary to—"

"Why are you not confident? The teacher believes in you, and you are also excellent. Both me and your mother support and value you! I made this call just to tell you this. Is there a problem? "

"……No."

There was silence for a while, Fu Luojia felt that she was thinking of words.

"I don't know what's going on...I always feel like you've been reluctant to trust me...Is it because I didn't manage Class Nine well? Do you know who the rest of this class are? Fighting, falling in love, pulling Cliques, campus bullying... including this school, it's a stinky—”

"I see. I don't believe you. . . . Thank you very much." Such authenticity would give him a headache.Especially on the phone, with his mother watching.

After hanging up the phone, his mother asked, "Do you believe it or not, what did your teacher say?"

"Talk about the exam."

"Exam? Did you take the monthly exam? Why don't you tell me—"

……

Because of the phone call, he was still a little dazed when he was lying on the bed.

It's not that he is unhappy to be the first in the exam, the key is that this happiness is very thin and shallow, and it can be cut off in just a few words with his mother.Then just overwhelmed.

He hadn't enjoyed this kind of "valuation" from his teacher before - during the years of studying in Linshi, there were always more outstanding students in the class attracting the attention of the teacher.But his previous head teacher was not attracted to anyone at all, anyone was a transparent person to him, and vice versa.Fu Luojia accepted his attitude well.

Because of this, he felt that Mr. Ye was actually a bit out of line, which made people feel at a loss - things like "future" and "future" always made him feel uncomfortable.

He forced himself to think of something else.For example, the school anniversary——

Xu Zhibian's song was sent, and it was a hit list of Fruit.

"...To be honest, I can't sing this song well." Fu Luojia told the truth.

"Then it's up to you to choose." Xu Zhibian felt relieved.

"Then let's have a look. Don't be in a hurry, right?"

"Not urgent."

Then there was the news about the black head.

"I'm in Class Nine."

He moved his finger over the head portrait, and the next message jumped out.

"Help you rule it out, we talked yesterday."

He reacted instantly, and immediately took back the keyboard that popped up under the input box.

He directly flipped to the interface where the "delete from address book" button was located.New messages continue to pop up, "Aren't you still typing just now, why didn't you talk?"

The world has suddenly become incomprehensible - it seems to have been since the last hospital incident.He didn't really want to see what text would appear next.

There are a lot of things today.

He exhaled.

"Li Xin, right?"

"Oh, that's his number, but I'm another one."

He doesn't want to return this one.The other side continued, "Stop talking again, are you typing slowly or are you chatting with others?"

"But isn't Xu Zhijian talking about something in the group? Could it be that you're chatting with a ghost?"

Fu Luojia's temple twitched. "...Sun Qiya, right? Can you explain clearly what you mean?"

"It was him just now, and now it's Li Xin." The other end came back after a while.

"..."

"We don't mean anything else, just curious, and want to get to know you again."

"Sleep if you want, don't wrong yourself. Xu Zhijian won't be free until later, won't you wait?"

Fu Luojia directly deleted the person.

After a while, there was another verification message, "How do you delete me? I just want to ask you if you want to join our group. There are many people besides Xu Zhijian."
