I still don't want to go to school today

Xu Zhibian lowered his head and stirred the diced meat in the bowl, and picked out the pickled peppers inside.

Fu Luojia raised his eyes. "When is your birthday?"

"……this Saturday."

Fu Luojia's mother usually goes to see grandpa on Saturdays, not every time she takes him with her, and sometimes she leaves him alone at home to read books and do homework.He's not sure if he'll take it this week or not. "Afternoon?"

"Who the hell is going to ktv in the afternoon?" said the person who pointed at him impatiently.

"Just in the afternoon." Xu Zhibian said. "Play in the afternoon and have a meal."

Fu Luojia nodded, but still didn't promise anything.

"The brain is sick." The man turned back to eat his own meal.

Du Ran: "Hey, I have a class on Saturday afternoon."

Xu Zhibian: "Don't say it as if you have been there many times."

Du Ran: "..."

This claypot rice Fu Luojia has not eaten yet.What made him feel a little novel was the diced potatoes inside, which tasted as crisp as radishes, without the dull taste of traditional roasted potatoes.The rice grains that have not been poured by the soup are also sticking to a thin layer of clear oil, which is golden under the light.

The spoon quickly scraped to the bottom.

Xu Zhilian ate a little faster than him, took out a piece of paper and put it in his hand.

Du Ran was drinking rice noodle soup with a strange sound.

"Let's go first."

After standing up, Xu Zhibian walked beside him naturally.

The noise level of the classroom during evening self-study is much lower than that during the day-maybe there are more people sleeping.

But Zhou Linya and Li Shuyi in the front row were so energetic that their eyes would burst out.

"So, Xu Zhijian hit you and found that he hit the wrong person, and now he is apologizing to you with his behavior?"

"He's not apologizing."

In fact, being slapped in the face is more important than others to Fu Luojia.For Fu Luojia, the key point is "being slapped" itself, not the motive, not the consequence, nor the victim or perpetrator-and the existence of the key point is time-limited, maybe only 3 minutes.

Fu Luojia felt that the blankness in his mind was so great that he could squeeze everything out.

Li Shuyi: "Isn't this an apology? He's trying to find a way out for himself. In fact, I still hope you forgive him. Didn't he recognize you and say he was your elementary school classmate?"

Zhou Linya: "Don't say it, Xu Zhijian beats people, and he's really shady. —— But you're fine, you can move about on your own, he doesn't need to greet him personally and send him to provide three meals."

Li Shuyi: "I'm still a little curious about who he originally wanted to hit. How did he compensate you?"

Fu Luojia shook his head. "I said it's not an apology or compensation, it's two different things."

Zhou Linya: "Hey, you are so strange. But Xu Zhijian is really kind."

Li Shuyi: "These people are like this because they knew each other before, and they can't do it with someone else."

Fu Luojia didn't speak any more, and drew the word "solution" under a big physics problem.

After school, he remembered his school card when he walked through the corridor and passed the tenth class.The lights in shift ten were all off, so there should be no one there.He stared at a pot of green radishes on the window sill of the tenth classroom for a while, then turned and went downstairs.

Fu Luojia didn't say anything after seeing Xu Zhiyan, just followed him to the bicycle shed, watched him unlock, then walked over and sat sideways on the back seat of the car.

After leaving the school gate, he thought that Xu Zhijian would dash down the slope, but the bicycle slid lightly all the way to the bottom of the slope.

Streetlights turned from yellow to silvery white.

Fu Luojia lowered his head slightly, and saw a large group of oil stains on the back of Xu Zhijian's school uniform.

He didn't remind Xu Zhibian until he was downstairs in his house: "The back of the clothes is dirty."

With one foot still straddling the pedal, Xu Zhilian twisted his waist and pulled the hem of his clothes in front of him to have a look.Seeing his movements, Fu Luojia only felt that the school uniform was really big.

Xu Zhijian took off the whole school uniform with another backhand.Inside he is a white short sleeve that is also very wide, fluffy as if there is a tuft of wind in his arms.Then Fu Luojia watched him roll up the school uniform and throw it into the big green-shell trash can next to him.

Fu Luojia: "..."

Xu Zhibian: "? What's the matter?"

Fu Luojia: "It's nothing... Aren't you cold?" Wearing only short sleeves at night may really be cold.

Xu Zhibian: "You go up first."

When the curtains in the bedroom are opened, you can see the road out of the community.The streetlight beside the green belt in front of the building was broken, and Xu Zhijian seemed to have put his mobile phone on the handlebar of the car as a flashlight.A bright white light source zigzags forward until it disappears around the corner.

……

"... Speaking of this, I think it is necessary to wake up some people in the class."

Fu Luojia was not surprised to hear this sentence.From the beginning of the class to the present, Teacher Ye has been in a strange state of excitement, drinking water five times in 10 minutes-obviously, he has been rehearsing the abdominal draft, and the imaginary dry mouth has fooled his nerves.

"There's something wrong with some people's fundamental attitude—"

... When Fu Luojia came back to his senses, the topic had reached a small climax. "—These people are still not clear-headed! They don't know what they are, and they don't know what they are here for! They don't respect their teachers, parents, or themselves!"

Suddenly a pen flew towards you, and someone three rows ahead turned his head: "Hey, pick up the one behind, it just flew away!"

Zhou Linya gave a "tsk", and Fu Luojia looked down, but there were no chairs or tables.

"Don't look for it, go to the back row." Zhou Linya turned around, "Tang Cheng don't sleep, pick up that pen!"

The drowsy Tang Cheng bent down under the table, and halfway through the bend, the pages of books in the table slid onto his back one after another.As he straightened up, the glass full of water hanging from the edge of the table fell to the floor again.

The sound is broken and brittle, like ice cubes being crushed into powder by molars.

This sound sounded like a switch, and there was a rare moment of silence in the classroom.

Teacher Ye clasped his arms to support his glasses, took a breath, and spoke in a trembling voice: "...the next exam, now self-study."

Fu Luojia usually doesn't review the quizzes in class, so after thinking about it, he took out a cloze exercise book.

After choosing less than three empty table corners, someone knocked on them: "Come out with me."

Fu Luojia stood up, and when he walked out of the classroom, many people looked up.In a hurry, he even saw Li Wenjia propped himself up from the table and glanced at him.

He has been to Teacher Ye's office several times.A few times, she didn't say anything, but changed his English composition on the spot to show him.Sometimes she would ask him how he felt, Fu Luojia usually said "very good" in order to quickly end the topic, and made her laugh a few times-she still looked a little young when she laughed.There were also a few times that were not very interesting, just some emotional preaching, Fu Luojia didn't remember clearly, or didn't hear clearly at all.

——From the breath she took just now, it should be the latter this time.

The peach blossom branch from last time was still inserted in the mineral water bottle with the top cut off on her desk, and the petals were already too yellow to be seen.

"You sit."

Fu Luojia looked around, but couldn't find a stool, and tilted his head to show doubts.

Teacher Ye had already sat down behind the desk, took off his glasses and rubbed the corners of his eyes. "Drag over Teacher Hu's stool over there. Yes, that's the one."

It was a clunky executive chair with a black leather upholstery and stainless steel arms.Fu Luojia tried to move it, but finally dragged it over after it was still on the ground.The cushion was very soft, and he obviously sank a lot after touching it.

"—Really nothing happened the past two days?"

"……Um."

"You," Teacher Ye pointed, "Have you been out of shape recently?"

Fu Luojia recalled the recent test results, and was a little confused about where this "absent state" came from.

"what do you mean--?"

"I mean, you, do you feel that your studies are not solid? For example, you can't calm down, and you are always disturbed..."

"no."

"It's fine if you don't. What I mean," Teacher Ye lowered his voice, and Fu Luojia had to hold his breath, "That is to say, if I feel uncomfortable being affected by this kind of environment, my attitude is to help as much as possible. you."

Fu Luojia adjusted his sitting posture by supporting the armrest. "……ah."

"You're different from them. You're going to college, and it's got to be a good college—you've got to remember that." She said this sharply. "Be worthy of your mother! Going to a good university is giving her the best reward!"

He also doesn't know what kind of deep relationship Yelaoshi has with his mother.It may be that her mother's classmate—a male teacher who teaches physics in the third year of high school—has specially taken care of her, but in No. [-] Middle School, the teacher's care alone has never had much influence; it is also possible——

He glanced at Teacher Ye's fingers that were shaking restlessly.When she crossed her fingers and rubbed them, she could see the obvious light-colored marks around the root of her right ring finger.

"Ok, I know."

"In short, don't be influenced by anyone! Be steadfast!"

Fu Luojia returned to his seat against the eyes of the classroom.Zhou Linya pushed his arm: "What did I ask you for?"

"Talk about studying."

Zhou Linya smiled strangely, "Oh."

The break between three and four classes in the morning is breakfast time for some people.The takeaway ordered in class can be taken and eaten in the classroom at this time.Zhou Linya ordered noodles with mixed sauce. He put his phone on the table and watched a drama while eating with the sound playing.Just listening to the sound of Fu Luojia, he became a little curious and glanced at the title of the play.

Sure enough, it fit the distressed situation created by the soundtrack, and Zhou Linya started looking for papers after a while.

"Wipe your tears?"

Zhou Linya rolled his eyes at him: "Wipe your mouth."

Fu Luojia laughed.

Zhou Linya stared at him, "I'm so happy to have a happy event recently, don't put on a face and have time to talk to me?"

"...No." Just as Fu Luojia was about to speak again, someone on the right suddenly stuffed a large plastic bag: "It's for you."

Plastic bags are hot.Fu Luojia took a look inside with one hand, and there were several white lunch boxes.He looked up to the window sill, and a girl waved at him with a card in her hand.

"Fuluojia!! I'll return your card—!! That's my breakfast for you, can we get to know each other?"

Holding the bag of lunch boxes, Fu Luojia was speechless for a moment—in fact, he was stunned.

"Can you come out for a while, and I'll return the card to you?" Her voice was still as loud as if there was a mountain between them.

The whispers around him quickly helped him recall the identity of this girl: Chen Xuan from Class Ten.

Zhou Linya's confusion was obviously from the heart, "Why didn't she just pass it over?"

Although Fu Luojia also had the same thought, he still stood up, hesitated for a while, put the bag of things on his chair, and went out.

Chen Xuan watched him walk over step by step without taking his eyes off him.
