I still don't want to go to school today

When Fu Luojia was about to go back to school, Xu Zhijian still followed.

He stopped at the intersection, clasped the hand that was reaching out to him with both hands, and slowly tightened his fingers.

After a while he said, "What about Hei Mi?"

"She knows the way and can go back by herself."

Fu Luojia turned his head and found that Demu had really disappeared. "She's smart."

Xu Zhibian looked at him with a smile: "Then if you run in the future, take her with you?"

"I may...not take good care of her."

"Then there is no other way," Xu Zhijian spread his other hand, "You have to bring me up to take care of her."

Fu Luojia then went to kiss him.

A passing car blinked twice, then sped past, and the fallen leaves on the side of the road were swept into the air.

Xu Zhibian buried his face in his shoulder and neck, and said in a muffled voice, "It's time to cool down."

In fact, the county has cooled down.

The water coming out of the tap water pipes became unbearable, and Fu Luojia had to go downstairs to fetch hot water with the two kettles in the dormitory.Considering that there must be many people in the place where the water is fetched, he brought a chemistry notebook.

Seeing him approaching, a few shirtless boys whom he didn't know at all reacted in the same way - they covered the things they were holding in front of their chests, as if there was a key position there.

What's more, he took out a piece of dirty clothes from the pile of dirty clothes in the basin and quickly put it on.

Fu Luojia didn't come any closer, put the kettle at his feet, and opened his notebook.

He copied all the wrong questions that he could find, and it was easy to forget even if he read them every day.However, the latest score has finally improved a little, indicating that this method may still be effective.

After a while, Xu Zhijian also came over, and took the full thermos with a curious expression on his face.

The people lining up behind looked at this side with strange expressions.Fu Luojia had discovered these changes a long time ago: in the past, there would be many people who greeted Xu Zhijian.

"Missing again." Xu Zhijian rubbed his shoulder. "Come up quickly."

After entering the third year of high school, there is only one and a half days off on weekends, and students rest from Saturday noon to Sunday night.After having lunch with Xu Zhijian in the cafeteria, Fu Luojia went to the teaching building for self-study alone with a few books, and it happened that Teacher Ye moved his office.

After thinking about it, he went over to help.

The grade office is much larger than ordinary classrooms.There are four tables on the ground, all of which are made of solid wood, and there are a lot of materials and test papers that have not been distributed in the spare space. World maps, national flags, and school regulations are pasted on the walls.

Fu Luojia bypassed the sundries, removed a bookshelf blocking the way, took the cardboard box from Teacher Ye, and put it on a desk closest to the air conditioner.

"One chair is missing..." Mrs. Ye looked around with her hands on her hips, "That classmate—yes, it's you, help me remove the boss chair from my original office—it may be a bit heavy, thank you for your hard work."

The coolie named Fu Luojia had met before—it seemed that his name was Jiang Zhengyuan.He looked puzzled, and the logistics director at the desk next door waved his hands anxiously: "Hurry up, Director Ye is calling you!"

"Oh, okay——" Jiang Zhengyuan stepped out through the back door.

"Whose parent is that one who just left? Why didn't you tell him that smoking is not allowed in the office? It makes the place smell choking to death."

"I think so too, but I'm timid. He looks like he's doing those things... dare not say, dare not say."

Teacher Ye frowned.

"It's getting more and more inexplicable... There are all kinds of people, they can do everything, and they can say anything..."

Fu Luojia helped her take the things out of the box and rearrange them.The photo frame is placed in front of several heavy dictionaries, which can be seen when you sit down and look up a little.

"Is the classroom hot?" Teacher Ye suddenly spoke to him.

"Ah?" His right hand was still resting on the photo frame, "...it's okay. It's not very hot."

"Just study in my seat. I'll leave right away and let you sit. There is air conditioning here, and it's quieter than the classroom."

In fact, it wasn't very quiet, to be precise, it was restless.From time to time, people like teachers or school leaders came in and out, and after observing for a while, they asked who the students who dared to sit here were.

He sat behind a large solid wood desk and looked up at people.

"Ah—the one brought by Director Ye, right?"

After eight o'clock, there was finally no one.After hesitating for a moment, he changed the stool he was sitting on to the boss chair, and stuffed the photo frame into the drawer.

Then start working hard.

On Sunday, we went to that Buddhist temple together as we had agreed with Xu Zhibian.He hadn't been here much during the day before, and he wasn't used to seeing Maitreya Buddha painted in colorful colors.None of the cats in the litter were seen, only a young man and woman kneeling on the futon and muttering.

The monk who was keeping the stall at the canteen inserted a bundle of wrist-thin incense into the censer, clasped his hands together and took a step back.

A man and a woman should be husband and wife.After kneeling for about 5 minutes, they helped each other to stand up, picked up a bottle of beer on the ground, and left through the left door with their heads down.

"You also worshiped the college entrance examination?" The monk took the initiative to talk. "Special Gong Zhuangyuan Incense, a shot of three hundred, with a bottle of Sprite."

"..."

"Sprite? Why did they bring wine?" Xu Zhibian asked.

"You are students."

Xu Zhibian seemed to be aroused interest.Fu Luojia coughed lightly: "Do you believe this?"

"I have no faith." Xu Zhibian shook his head.

"It's not about faith," said the monk. "It's about money. You either spend it or you don't. Is it faith that gives you peace of mind? No, it's money."

Fu Luojia was speechless again.

"We are very spiritual here." The monk emphasized.

Xu Zhibian rushed over excitedly, sat cross-legged on the futon, and watched the monk light the three newly inserted bundles of incense.The small Buddhist hall was suddenly surrounded by smoke and fog, and two pilgrims with extremely improper manners paid their attention to the Buddhist altar.

Fu Luojia thought that he didn't seem to have anything to ask for—but Xu Zhijian had a purpose: to find a cat.

So where did the cat go?

The fragrant dust dispersed, and after a long silence, he heard a thin voice.

"Meow."

……

A week before the first monthly exam, Du Ran suddenly disappeared.Xu Zhibian couldn't get in touch with him, so he had no choice but to ask Chen Feng.Chen Feng was also vague: "I need to check with him."

Then the theme of the blackboard newspaper that week was: Self-esteem and self-love, put an end to puppy love.

"Don't think that the monitoring in the classroom is bad," Teacher Ye knocked on the desk, "each of our teachers can see all your performances in real time! In the past, we will also check and check, and those who have small movements will consciously come to me as soon as possible. Let me make it clear here, if the grade group discovers the situation first, they will definitely be severely punished!"

At first, everyone didn't take it seriously - the male and female couples still interact intimately all the time without any restraint.However, the weekend after the monthly exam, when Fu Luojia entered the office, he saw a familiar picture on the computer screen on the desk, but the angle was very strange.

He saw a large piece of overhead.

"This is a video from yesterday's classroom." Teacher Ye said. "I still have something to do at home. Please help me to take a look. If you find anything, just take a screenshot and put it on the computer desktop. It doesn't take too much time, just drag the progress bar and glance at it."

Fu Luojia froze in front of the screen.Every frame of the picture made him very uncomfortable, and he couldn't bear it for long before turning off the computer.

He suddenly felt that this school seemed to have changed in places he hadn't noticed.

Dad said he would come once, but he seemed to have missed the end of school time.Fu Luojia waited at the school gate for two hours and went back to the dormitory without waiting for his car.

There are voices in the bedroom.Du Ran still didn't come back, it was Xu Zhijian who was talking to someone else.

He quickly recognized that it was Li Xin's voice, so he stood in the aisle again and waited for Li Xin to leave.

The dormitory building, which is not exposed to sunlight all year round, is extremely humid, and the noise of fighting is very distant, as if it came from the thick moss piled up outside the wall.

He grew anxious.

Li Xin came to look for Xu Zhijian.

Although he wished that Li Xin would disappear forever, Li Xin might be a friend to Xu Zhijian.

The longer Xu Zhibian spent with him, the shorter the time Xu Zhibian spent with other friends.During this period of time—even if Xu Zhibian never mentioned it—Xu Zhibian had lost too many playmates.

Maybe he will be unhappy and boring.Although he denied it, Fu Luojia could always read these from some strange places.

Xu Zhibian was originally popular, how could he accept the life of staying in school every day besides going for a run?And those rumors—

Rumors that obviously affected him much more than himself.

Because of those rumors, Xu Zhijian no longer participated in social activities.He got up on time, attended classes according to the schedule, and even took the monthly exam.

It's funny to say, he didn't want Xu Zhimin to take exams like an ordinary senior high school student—such as himself—and sit in the classroom to repeat those boring, boring and meaningless questions.

It doesn't make sense at all.According to most teachers and parents, not to do so is to choose to fall.

But his Xu Zhilian is alive, and Xu Zhilian should do whatever he wants, instead of being corrupted by expectations, responsibilities, obligations or even feelings.

The door was opened from the inside, and he looked over immediately.Li Xin supported the door frame and turned around, still talking, but was overshadowed by a louder "Don't make me say it again".

"Don't you know what those people say about you? If you continue like this..."

"Are you pretending to be stupid or something," Xu Zhibian laughed lightly. "You think I don't know who this is all thanks to?"

"I didn't do that! Sun Qiya didn't tell me—"

The voice stopped abruptly, replaced by a loud bang when the head hit the door frame.

Li Xin groaned and fell limply to the ground, Fu Luojia let go of his hand, and the loose collar fell back limply.

"you……"

"Did you go wrong?" Fu Luojia's voice trembled, "Why... why did you come to my dormitory."
