like the wrong way

"It turned out to be a classmate from far away. I'm sorry to have misunderstood you." Mama Qian came over with a teacup, Ji Lingyang and Curly Mao hurriedly stood up to pick it up, and Mama Qian gave the teacup over after a little concession.

She sat down on the sofa, touched Siyan's hair, and said softly: "You child, why don't you tell your mother when you bring your classmates back, so that mother can ask Aunt Liu to cook dinner for you."

Facing such a gentle mother, the four eyes are even more shrunk than usual.He swallowed, grabbed the tassel on the edge of the sofa, and replied tremblingly: "I, I forgot."

"Forget about it, don't forget about your studies." Mama Qian taught, and turned to Ji Lingyang and the others, "Thank you for sending Yuan back. Alas, Dad Yuan and I are busy with work, so we really can't spare Time to pick him up."

"Hey, we're good friends, so it's nothing to send him back." Curly grinned silly, "Besides, we came by the teacher's car, and I just helped him a few steps."

Hearing the words "good friend", a hint of displeasure flashed in Qian's mother's eyes, and the smile on her face was still decent: "Then thank you too."

After a few words of politeness, she gracefully raised her hand, looked at her shiny watch, and said, "Oh, it's so late, I should be anxious if I don't go back to your house."

Curly was full of the treasures in the upstairs room, didn't notice that Siyan was winking at him desperately, opened his mouth and said, "Auntie, Siyan said he wants to play games with us..."

Ji Lingyang could look at adults better than curly hair, and noticed early in the morning that although Mama Qian kept smiling, there was no smile in her eyes.

"Then let's go back first, Auntie. Qian Yuan, see you tomorrow." Ji Lingyang pulled Curly by the collar and dragged him to the door, and said goodbye with guilt-ridden eyes.

Mama Qian's smile was a little more sincere, and she asked insincerely, "Do you want Auntie to drive you back?"

"Don't bother you."

"Then I'll take you downstairs."

"No need, you must be very worried about Qian Yuan's injury, we can just take the elevator down by ourselves."

"Well, you two go slowly, be careful on the road."

Entering the elevator, Curly folded his arms and leaned against the gleaming handrail, and rarely complained: "Brother Yang, didn't you say it's fun to go before leaving, why worry, my computer is already turned on."

Ji Lingyang glanced at him without explaining.

The elevator arrived at the first floor. Curly felt his pocket when he walked out the door. He was stunned for a second and shouted: "Oh! I forgot my key at Siyan's house!" He rolled his eyes and asked Ji Lingyang pretending to be in a panic. , "Brother Yang, wait here, I'll go up and get the key."

Ji Lingyang grabbed him and threw him out of the elevator: "I'll go up and get it, you just stay here and wait for me!"

Seeing that his attempt to take the opportunity to go back and find Siyan to play a game secretly was seen through, Curly could only pout and sulk.

Ji Lingyang didn't bother to talk to him, went up to the 21st floor alone, got out of the elevator, and arrived at the door of Siyan's house.

The door seemed to be stuck with something, leaving a crack through which the light from the house shone, leaving a long line across the marble-tiled hallway.

Just as Ji Lingyang was about to knock on the door, he heard Mama Qian's scolding voice, which was completely different from the polite but soft voice before, and there was even a trace of disgust hidden in it.

"How many times have I told you, don't make friends with those bad students, why don't you always listen?"

"they are not……"

"The lowest grade in the class is not a bad student, what is it? Especially the one named Tong Li, who looks like a fool. It's the first time he comes to other people's house without any courtesy, and he still plays games? The game I bought for you is for them Are you here to play?"

"Mom, I was the one who said I wanted to play with him..."

"You mentioned it? Why are you so ignorant? It's fine to be friends with bad students. I don't blame you for bringing them home. After all, we don't have time to pick you up. But you actually asked them to come together Playing games? Do you know what time it is now, third year of high school! There is not much time until the college entrance examination, don’t you hurry up to read books and play games? You have always been an obedient child before, why are you so ignorant now? your!"

"No! Mom, I sprained my foot and I want to rest. They didn't tell me to."

"Take a break, why not? I sprained my ankle, not blinded my eyes and broke my hand. Why can't I read books and want to rest? I think you were spoiled by those two bad students. Otherwise, how could you do so badly in the midterm exam? I told you You, you are not allowed to associate with them in the future, if I find you take them home, I will ask the nanny to pick you up to school every day, and you are not allowed to go out on weekends, do you hear me?"

"I heard..." Four Eyes' voice was so small that it could hardly be heard.

As if sensing her son's depression, Qian's mother changed her tone again: "Yuan, don't blame mom, mom is doing it for your own good. Take a look at the game consoles, toys, and novels in the room. We didn't give them that. Did you prepare it? Ever since you were a child, we won’t buy you what you want? We just hope that you will study hard, get into a good university, find a good job, and make you stand out and win us glory.”

"Ah."

"Didn't your big cousin go to the capital for the exam last year? Your uncle kept talking all day long, he's not *luxury* big, so there's nothing to show off. And your second aunt, who sent her second son to study in France , I’ve been talking about this nonsense for more than half a year, and with your third cousin’s grades, you might not be able to tell which pheasant university you went to.”

"Among the juniors in our old Qian's family, only you—my precious son—is a really good student. You are among the best in any exam. If your grades are taken out, your father and I will be proud!"

"So far away, you have to study hard, don't be dragged into the water by those bad embryos, you must go to a good university, so that those who dislike your mother and me as a nouveau riche will be compared to the stinky mouth! Do you know?"

"Understood, Mom, I will work hard."

"That's good. Come on, mom, look at your feet. Oh, it hurts so badly? Is it helpful to just apply the medicine prescribed by the school doctor? Mom will take you to the city hospital. Your dad knows the director there, sure ..."

"No, no, no! It's not very painful anymore, so you don't need to go to the doctor."

"You child, I don't want you to take injections and medicines. What are you afraid of? If you don't go to the hospital, don't go. Come on, mom will help you upstairs, and you will do your homework obediently. When your father comes back, let him prepare a car to pick you up go to school."

The footsteps gradually faded away, and finally there was no sound inside the door.

Ji Lingyang let go of the hand that was clenching the seam of his trousers, and there was a faint trace of water on the wrinkled dark blue fabric.

He took a deep breath, grabbed the doorknob, and closed the door carefully.

"Crack" the door lock snapped shut, the only light source disappeared, and the aisle was completely plunged into darkness.

Curly leaned against the wall, scratching his nails boredly, and glanced at the elevator lights from time to time.Brother Yang has been going up for a while, why not come down, he won't be playing games with Four Eyes behind my back, right?Probably not, brother Yang is not such a thug.But he is also really, why not let me finish my sentence, the four-eyed mother is so gentle, she definitely won't mind us playing for a while.Hmph, next time I must come to Siyan's house alone, and have a good time.

Just as he was happily imagining the scene of himself holding the handle and using a set of serial attacks to kill the boss instantly, the elevator door opened with a "ding", and Ji Lingyang walked out with his hands in his pockets and a blank expression on his face.

Curly immediately moved closer: "Brother Yang, where is the key~"

Ji Lingyang didn't give him a look, and walked straight to the door: "No, I forgot which floor his house is on."

"Ah?" Curly chased after him with a confused face, "But I saw that the elevator stopped on the 21st floor, that's right."

"You remember wrong, it's not the 21st floor."

"I won't remember wrongly, it wasn't just now..."

"I said you remembered it wrong!" Ji Lingyang said firmly.

After doing this, Curly was not sure. He scratched his hair and said distressedly: "Then what about my key?"

"Isn't there a spare key under the flower pot in front of your house? Use that, call Siyan when you get home, and ask him to bring it to you tomorrow."

"we can only do this."

Four Eyes' House is close to the city center, walking out of the gate of the community, the street lights are bright on the road and the traffic is coming and going, and the bustling level is not inferior to that in the daytime.

Curly looked around, suddenly his eyes lit up, he pointed to the video game city across the street and said cheerfully: "Brother Yang! It's still early anyway, let's go there to play."

Ji Lingyang looked at it according to the reputation, the door of the home video game store was exquisite, the lights were brilliant, and there were people coming and going at the door, and it seemed that the business was particularly good.He raised his arm to check the time, it was less than nine o'clock.After lowering his eyes and thinking for a while, Ji Lingyang said a little bored, "Then go play."

"Oh yeah!" The curly hair who got the permission rushed across the street like a wind.

Ji Lingyang looked back at the community, the grand gate was like a wall, separating the noise on the road and the tranquility of the community into two worlds.

Good students and bad students may also be in two different worlds.

The next day, Siyan brought the key to Curly, and when Curly said that he wanted to go to his house to play again, he could only fool around with a haha.

Because his mother asked him not to play with Ji Lingyang and the others, and because the driver came to pick him up after school every day, he didn't participate in the three-person group activities for a week. He went in, but felt that Ji Lingyang didn't seem to want to talk to him.Every day after school, I look at the backs of the two of them going away, and my four eyes are full of helplessness and vague loneliness.

Also feeling lonely was Fang Xi, who also noticed Ji Lingyang's abnormality.That guy usually likes to make trouble for him. Some time ago, Ji Lingyang restrained himself a lot because he had to prepare for the midterm exam, but it is still indispensable to bump into each other and fight a few words every day.

But after the exam, Ji Lingyang did not return to normal. He actually started to avoid Fang Xi actively. Every morning, he deliberately went to the bathroom when Fang Xi collected his homework. When they met head-on, he turned his head as if he didn't see it.

Could it be that I leaned on his back that day and was discovered by him...

Fang Xi shook his head vigorously.Probably not, in this era, at this age, and with Ji Lingyang's brain, it's impossible to find out that I like him.But if it wasn't for this, why would he avoid me?

"Hey, why are you in a daze?" Yu Gaoming patted Fang Xi abruptly, "Go ahead and pass your house."

Fang Xi came to his senses, cleared his throat, and said apologetically, "Sorry, I was taken aback."

"What's there to be embarrassed about, hey, go home quickly, your second treasure is probably going to be so hungry."

Fang Xi took the plastic bag, which contained canned cat food: "Thank you, Gao Ming, I will accompany me to buy canned cat food on weekends."

Yu Gaoming pretended to rub his arms numbly: "Don't be polite to me, whoever we are."

"Good buddy, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Watching Yu Gaoming walk out of the community, Fang Xi pursed her lips, turned around and walked to a van parked downstairs, looked at the small piece of shoe heel exposed behind the car, and said softly, "Come out, Ji Lingyang."
