Horse head wall

It was the first time Tao Xuan had lunch with so many classmates.

He had already declined the invitation of his tablemate, but after searching around in the cafeteria, there was no place for him. Seeing this, his tablemate called Tao Ling over.

The long table with two rows of tables had eight seats, and it was basically full. "Come on, come on! Luckily, there is a seat reserved." The boy at the same table waved to Tao Xuan.

There is a faint shadow of the future meal on the dining table, the plates are arranged casually, the dripping soup is faint on the table, the bottles and cans of drinks are standing upright, and the opened and closed ones are mixed together.The boys chatted while eating, and the topics they talked about were nothing more than the Premier League, CBA, NBA, and games. Tao Xuan also watched football games, but he didn't love them as much, so he didn't join their discussions too much.

Occasionally, the boys also stray off topic.

"Here!" Tao Xuan's tablemate walked to the side and pouted, using body language to signal to the boys who were chattering.

The boys suddenly understood, and whistled to the passing girls together. The whistle sounded frivolous and playful. people, but wolves, tigers and leopards.

The eager figure didn't know what happened. He staggered, his hand slipped, and the plastic bowl and the tiled floor made a crisp sound. The soup splashed out of the bowl like a waterfall, and the ground was dripping with unwilling seaweed eggs. Soup, the soup splashed all over, and the beige trousers were instantly stained with bits and pieces.

The boys on the long table burst into laughter. The laughter and the sound of the bowl falling together attracted the attention of the students around.

Tao Xuan paused for a moment with his chopsticks, and frowned slightly.

The girl kept bending over to pick up the bowl for a long time, until people passing by urged the girl to move, so she slowly raised her body and left with the bowl.

Several boys who laughed too wildly were still clearing their throats.

"Slot, I'm laughing so hard!" Tao Ling's neighbor took a sip of Coke, poured more than half of it into his mouth, coughed dryly, picked up a few mouthfuls of rice with his chopsticks, and chewed.

A boy on the table imitated the girl's usual appearance, with his head lowered, his back bent, and his eyes rolled up to look at people.

There was another burst of laughter.

"How can a woman look so wretched?" Yuancuntou tutted.

Tao Ling's deskmate spoke again at this time, he is a broken mouth.

"Last time, Qian Na said that her things were taken by that woman."

Qian Na is also a girl in their class. Last semester, she caught Fang Zi who sneaked back to the classroom during physical education class to steal the schoolbag pendant. She didn't care, but later found that the pen in her pencil case was missing. It's from Parker, it's not very expensive, but it's not cheap either. Qian Na kept an eye out and asked Fang Zi if she took it. Fang Zi denied it. At first, Fang Zi, a girl in the class, avoided him.

Tao Xuan's deskmate was still talking non-stop. Seeing that the boys on the long table were not interested, they seemed to be not interested in the girls' parents, so he went off the rails while talking, "Ha! Let me tell you something, you must Want to hear it!"

Some boys cast quite interesting glances.

"Fang Zi likes Wang Hongli!" The tablemate's voice was quite low, but there was secret excitement.

It was as if a depth bomb had been dropped on Tao Xuan's heart, and it exploded silently.

The people at the far table didn't hear it, and yelled with their ears.

"How do you know?" Yuan Cun Tou looked suspiciously at Tao Xuan's tablemate.

"I went back early at noon and saw Fang Zi putting chocolates in Wang Hongli's drawer, huh? Which time was it?" He was thinking, but he caught a glimpse of Yuancuntou winking at him, and pointed quietly at Tao Ling next to him. , the tablemate shivered, covered his mouth reflexively, realized that his mouth had no way, and played off.

They all knew that Tao Xuan and Wang Hongli grew up together and played well together, better than two brothers.

Tao Ling's deskmate shut up resentfully, glanced at Tao Ling, saw that Tao Ling seemed to have heard nothing and was still eating on his own, so he hurriedly changed the topic with another topic.

Fang Zi felt like he was facing a cold cellar.

Although she doesn't care about the ridicule of those boys, the oil on her pants will make her life very sad when she returns home today.

A few scattered people in the classroom chatted together and laughed from time to time.

Fang Zi touched the wet trouser legs, and the oil droplets could not be washed off.

The chair next to it was empty, but the homework was piled up in a mess on the table. The class representatives always couldn't hand out the homework properly. They either counted it and passed it down to each group, or didn't bother to move and just airdrop it.

Wang Hongli didn't come today.

Fang Zi pressed the shriveled schoolbag, which contained a letter. She put a lot of thought into packing it. The pink letter paper was covered with a milky white envelope. She was afraid that the letter would be crimped in the schoolbag, so she carefully sandwiched it in the language book.

There were more and more voices around, Fang Zi frowned as if she couldn't bear it, her pale face was full of sorrow, she reached into the drawer, touched the cloth pendant indiscriminately, and held on to the pendant tightly, like It was the addicted old smoker in the late Qing Dynasty who finally got the drug, and his brows relaxed slightly.

The music after school echoed in the campus, and the students left the classroom shoulder to shoulder.

Tao Xuan looked at Fang Zi who was sitting still and remained silent.

Fang Zi didn't seem to have heard what he just said, and was still fiddling with the pen in his hand. The homework book was spread out on the table, and a word on it remained unchanged.

Wang Hongli's seat was against the wall, and he could only get in if someone from outside gave way.

"Excuse me, is that okay? I'll collect a book for him." Tao Xuan looked at the clock, and it was almost time for the school bus to leave.

After a bang, the girl finally stood up and gave way.

Tao Xuan collected the homework books on the table one by one, aligned them, took out a bag from his coat pocket, and put all the books in it.

The distance between the front and back rows was too small, and when he came out, Tao Yao's pocket was squeezed, and the packet of paper fell out, and he paused when he leaned over to take the paper.

Tao Xuan saw the orange-red pendant in Fang Zi's drawer. The familiar shape made him feel angry.

He suppressed his anger, abandoned his usual obedient style, and reached into the drawer to get the pendant.

Fang Zi had been paying attention to Tao Yao's movements. Seeing that he was going to open the drawer, she immediately grabbed Tao Yao's arm to prevent him from taking it out. With red eyes, he looked at Tao Yao who was holding up the pendant with one hand, and the little fish with black bean eyes swayed from the height, as if mocking Fang Zi.

"You'd better explain what's going on." Tao Xuan's black eyes were like a piercingly cold pool of water, restraining all the rays of delusional intrusion.

Sister Tao has never been so depressed.

Every time she takes the school bus, she will sit in it, where she can enjoy the scenery without worrying about being thrown into the aisle by the wild driving skills of the wild driver.

But now, she was holding the side handle with one hand, and the front seat armrest with the other hand, shaking and shaking, her butt almost slipped off the seat several times.

What's more, why did she sit with Fang Zi? !

Although she was not in the same class as Wang Hongli and Tao Huan, she had heard of Fang Zi's name, Sister Tao, and the girl was sitting next to her right now, her gloomy eyes made her goosebumps all over the floor.

Fang Zi was caught in the middle of Tao Xuan and sister Tao, and it was difficult to leave. Tao Xuan stared at her with the eyes of a prisoner, as if she expected that she would not be able to escape the sky net. The needle was stuck, and halfway through the journey, she bit her lip and opened her mouth.

"I...just, think he's nice."

"Wang Hongli...he is different from other boys, he won't laugh at me..."

"I won't be treated as an outlier because of some of my... some strange behaviors."

Fang Zi said it was very difficult, she was not used to confiding so much to others.

"I see him...he touches this pendant every day, so...I just want to see what makes him like it so much..."

Seeing Tao Xuan frowned, Fang Zi's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "I'm just looking, I'll pay it back!"

Sister Tao, who was listening all the time, sneered, "Huh? Will you pay it back? Just take a look? Do you need to look at it for several weeks?"

Fang Zi closed his mouth, with his head down, unable to see his expression clearly.

Sister Tao turned around, looked inside, and urged, "Why don't you say it, tell me, you are so confident in stealing other people's things, are you the first?"

Tao Huan signaled to Sister Tao to stop talking, Sister Tao rolled her eyes and turned back, humming along to the driver's radio station.

Fang Zi didn't say a word until Tao Xuan and Sister Tao got out of the car, and just sat there stiffly, motionless.

The days are getting longer and longer, and the sky in Pingshan Village is still dark at six o'clock. Birds fly across the sky, the green hills are faint, and the water is flowing, like a natural ink painting.

Awan's heart-piercing yells could be heard from far away, and the gossiping old men and women in Qingchi heard it, and they all grinned.

"This kid, Awan, has never been worried since he was a child. What's the matter this time?" Mrs. Hong asked inarticulately as she chewed broad beans in her mouth missing one front tooth.

Aunt Li smiled and narrowed her eyes, "What else can I do? Today's parent meeting, Uncle Yuzai was talked to by the teacher alone again, Awan is counting down in class!"

The old men and women all sighed, and said that it would be great if Ah Wan could learn half of Yuzai and Lingzai.

"Hey! Are you back?" Old lady Hong's eyes were sharp, and she saw someone coming from the alley.

"Sister Tao, why is she so unhappy today?" Grandpa Six was curious, this girl always went home without mentioning ten points, but there must be nine points of happiness.

"The school bus drove too hard today, and my hands were sore from grabbing the handrails!" Sister Tao ran to Aunt Li and acted like a baby.

"Yuzai! I heard you are going to participate in a physics competition?" Aunt Li put her arms around Sister Tao and asked the boy carrying a schoolbag.

Tao Xuan nodded, "Yes."

"Oh, Yaozi has always been a peace of mind. I envy Grandma Tao!" Mrs. Hong likes Tao Yao very much. If it is not allowed now, she would like to marry her little granddaughter with Tao Yao like she used to do. .

Tao Xuan smiled shyly. "Yuzai, hurry home and eat, it's getting late!" Aunt Li bid farewell to everyone, and took Sister Tao home.

Ah Wan in Jingxian Hall was still sneezing, wiping the corners of his eyes with his fat hands, thinking how to avoid another beating—his father just beat him, and now his mother is back.

"!" The chubby body rolled towards the door immediately after seeing the person coming.

"Brother Yaozai!" Ah Wan saw his mother angrily walking to the main room with a broom, and hurriedly hid behind Tao Yao.

Tao Xuan was very helpless.When Wang Hongli's aunt saw Tao Yao at the gate of Jingxian Hall, her anger subsided and she smiled.

"Auntie, I'll give Yuzai homework."
