gentle collapse

After I figured it out, I felt that everything I was struggling with was not worth worrying about in itself.

I woke up naturally after going to bed on Sunday, followed my brother to the vegetable market, did my homework, and spent the day easily.But to my surprise, I was late on Monday.

And it's not a matter of a few minutes. When I got up, it was time for morning self-study.The alarm clock may have been forgotten, but why didn't my brother call me?

I hurriedly got dressed, pushed open my brother's door, and found that the bed was bulging, obviously he didn't get up, I yelled, he suddenly lifted the bed, sat on the bed with hair in a daze for a few seconds , finally reacted.Seeing him scrambling to get dressed, I rushed out the door without even brushing my teeth.When I ran to the corridor outside the classroom door, I slowed down and found a person standing in the corridor.When he got closer, he found that it was Wei Keke who was eating noodles.

She puffed her mouth and blew on her face, then glanced at me: "You are late."

I nodded out of breath, speechless.

"The old demon king kills people with his eyes and catches noodles everywhere, so you better not go in." She sucked the noodles in with a sip, her mouth bulging, and her voice was unclear, "Have you eaten?"

I shook my head, she squatted down and picked up a bowl of noodles from the corner, and handed it to me: "I brought it for someone else, but after the self-study noodles, I got tired of it, so if I don't give it to him, he didn't give me money anyway."

"That's not good?"

"Stop talking nonsense and swallow it quickly."

When the teacher came out with his hands behind his back, what he saw was the two of us standing side by side eating noodles.Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the whole process of him pushing open the door and coming out, and the movement stopped.And Wei Keke picked up the plastic bowl, took a sip of the noodle soup, and then turned his head to look at the teacher gracefully: "Good morning, teacher."

"The mouth is sweet, but..." He nodded at her, "Fuck me, I just said why the classroom smells the same every day. It turns out that you two are polluting the air quality, and you are affecting the surroundings so much." Classmates study."

"Teacher, the taste of noodles will not affect students who are full. Only those who have not eaten breakfast will be distracted. I am using practice to prove to them that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. It’s not good to do anything when you’re full.” Ke Ke seemed to think that she was very reasonable, and probably in the eyes of the teacher, she was talking nonsense seriously.

I stood up and said like all students who are afraid of the teacher: "Teacher, we will not do this in the future."

The teacher stretched out his white and fat fingers like lotus root joints and pointed at the two of us: "One class has 37 students, and the other has dropped by 9. This is how your noodles improve your grades? Come here, follow me to the office, and you are still in the middle of the class. I want to talk to you guys!"

The timing of the teacher's swearing was very accurate, and it happened to end when the bell rang for the first class. The two of us followed the history teacher into the classroom.When get out of class was over, I sat on the bench at Wei Keke's front desk and watched her embroider cross-stitch with her head down.

A passing classmate stopped, bent over to look, and joked with her: "Master Wei, what are you doing, who messed with you and you want to poke cloth with a needle? According to your personality, you should beat him up at that time." Ton."

Ke Ke didn't retort, and was silent for a while.After the man left, Ke Ke put her chin on the table and said to me: "I really did all the shameless things in the past few days, and I even folded a few five-pointed stars over the weekend."

"His birthday is coming?"

"No, I just want to do this. Sometimes I really envy those frail girls..." She raised her head and looked at one side blankly. Her black hair covered half of her face, slightly bent on her shoulders, and draped over her shoulders. back.She suddenly stared at me as if remembering something, "You don't usually come to me after class, do you have something to tell me?"

"I'll give you back the money."

She took the money and slapped the edge of the table twice: "This money is my reward." She stuffed the money into my coat pocket again.

Regarding Xie Yu's matter, I still want to persuade her: "Ke Ke..."

Hearing my deliberately protracted tone, she seemed to have noticed something, picked up the book and pressed it to her chest, and said very simply: "Don't talk to me about the philosophy of life, I'm really afraid of you. Are you a high school student? After going through the world, it is very far-fetched to pull something deep."

I said, "Do you think everything you do is worth it, or are you being stubborn because you can't help yourself?"

She said: "Because class is about to start, and Lu Ke has been standing in front of his seat waiting for you for a long time, it seems that I have already thought of hitting you, so I specially remind you not to talk about life and philosophy with me."

I looked at Lu Ke with his hands folded on his chest, and smiled awkwardly at him.

After returning to the original location, Zheng Yi said to me: "Lin An, why did my backpack stop talking a lot after I went to your house? What did your brother talk to him about?"

I asked him back: "Isn't he talking less just to give you time to study?"

"He doesn't answer my questions, I don't think I have the motivation to study..." Zheng Yi was as if he was listless.

"What do you usually talk about, and what can make you want to learn?"

Zheng Yi said: "He talked to me about the outside world. Lin An, have you ever taken a train or an airplane? I have never been in it, nor have I left Los Angeles. I want to go outside and take a walk. But every year There are only a few people who can get out of the school. Although I know that it is too late to work hard now, I really feel that the place he described is too attractive to me. I had a dream the night before yesterday. I dreamed of you, me and Coco. Traveling, Ke Ke took a photo of the two of us in front of a waterfall, and the water vapor from the waterfall behind us wet our clothes, and it felt particularly cool under the scorching sun."

I thought for a while, and then said: "I haven't been to other cities either. Few people here have gone out. Why did I suddenly dream of a waterfall?"

"I don't know, maybe geography is stupid... Hehe." He laughed, looking particularly abrupt in the quiet environment.A piece of chalk landed on my lap, and I realized that class was over, so I sat up straight.

"It's you two again. Next time I change seats, I'll let one of you sit at the first table and the other at the last table." The math teacher's voice was still as loud.When he turned his head and continued to solve the equation, I tore off a small piece of paper and wrote on it: "You tell your backpack what you said to me again, and he will talk to you, trust me."

After a while, the note was sent back, with an ugly, almost abstract smiling face drawn on it, and the two rows of teeth were particularly eye-catching.This wasted a little time, I was missing some notes, looked over to Chen Wei, he used a red pen to densely write the steps to solve the problem on the paper, without missing any.

"This question type will be tested." He tapped the fifth multiple-choice question with the tip of his pen, and said to me in a barely audible voice.

I lowered my head and drew an important symbol on it, and then unconsciously stared at his face again. This person committed suicide in his previous life.

During the second class, there was a long break between classes. I stood up and prepared to go to the office to ask for leave. Tomorrow, sister Xiaoyan got married and I was going to see her off.Chen Wei also stood up, and we walked out of the classroom one after the other, and slowly walked side by side in the corridor, looking in the same direction.

When I knocked on the door and entered, the head teacher was on the phone. I habitually observed the teacher's desktop. There was a crooked pile of homework, a computer, a black thermos cup, and a notice that was pressed by her arm.

"Okay, I understand. I've read the notification." She hung up the phone, and then looked at the two of us, "What's the matter, what can you two do for me?"

I said: "Teacher, I would like to ask for a leave of absence tomorrow, for a whole morning."

"The school just issued a notice that students are not allowed to ask for leave these days." She looked a little confused, "Hey, your brother called me in advance to tell me about this, and I agreed at the time. What should I do? When the time comes to ask for leave, the school will investigate..."

I find it very strange: "Why can't I ask for leave these days?"

The teacher opened the drawer, took out a stack of blank leave slips, hesitated, and said to me in a low voice: "An anti-crossing demonstration is being held in Luoyuan Square. I am afraid that you students will be impulsive and run to Go inside to participate. But I know you won't, you've always been more obedient, and besides, your sister's marriage is quite a big deal, and if I don't approve it, it will appear that I'm... Hey, well, I hope nothing happens. "

"Well, I'll be right back after seeing off the kiss." It seems that my brother lied a little to the head teacher, telling her that my sister got married.I took the leave slip from the teacher and stood where I was, waiting for Chen Wei to go out together.

He said: "Teacher, I will also ask for a whole morning leave tomorrow."

"What's your reason?" The teacher turned his head and asked him.

He said unhurriedly: "My dad gets married tomorrow, so let me give out wedding candies, have a banquet or something."

The teacher didn't believe it. She said, "Remarry? Why don't you ask your father to call me and I'll say hello to him or something."

"Then I'll ask him to call you tonight." After Chen Wei finished speaking, he gave a slight nod to the teacher, and then walked out.I think this is a private matter of his family, so it is not easy to ask, so I just said congratulations dryly behind his back.

He stood in the corridor and asked me: "Is your sister's name Xiao Xiaoyan?"

I instantly connected his father's marriage with Xiaoyan's sister's marriage. The timings matched and the descriptions were consistent... I said in a daze, "It's Xiao Xiaoyan, the researcher."

His face was frozen, expressionless, "It's quite unexpected, this has never happened in my previous life, I didn't expect the two of us to be relatives."

"Actually, she and I are not relatives, but neighbors." I said to him, "Miss Xiaoyan is very nice..."

"People always have to get along with each other to know whether it is good or not."

I walked up to Chen Wei and asked him, "You won't make things difficult for her, will you?"

He said, "No."

On the day of the wedding, it was my elder brother who put Sister Xiaoyan's hand on Father Chen's. The bride was wearing a white wedding dress and held a bright red bouquet.The ceremony is very simple, the rings are exchanged, the oaths are recited, the bouquet is thrown, and the banquet begins.

As the only two guests on the bride's side, my brother and I sat awkwardly at the guest of honor table.The reason why he is a little uncomfortable may be because the role he has just assumed is similar to Xiaoyan's father, and he himself looks much younger than the groom.And Chen Wei and I looked at each other, rarely moved our chopsticks.

On the contrary, it was Miss Xiaoyan who toasted generously, neither humble nor overbearing, with a smile on her face all the time.When the bride and groom were toasting at the table, Chen Wei came over to me and said, "Let's go back to school together if we're full."

"It's not good, everyone just started eating..." I picked up another chopstick of vegetables and chewed them slowly in my mouth, "Do you want to eat something more?"

He took advantage of the opportunity to sit next to me, took the groom's seat, and moved a few chopsticks.

My brother came over and asked me, "Do you know each other?"

"Chen Wei is my deskmate." I replied, he nodded knowingly, and did not continue this topic.I looked around bored, and found He Yuchen who was walking this way...

His father was the housekeeper of the Chen family, so it was only natural for him to be invited.I looked at Chen Wei who was drinking soup, and then looked up at He Yuchen.Some anxiously said: "Let's go back after saying hello to the bride and groom." I don't know why, feeling what might happen when they meet, I have goosebumps.

Chen Wei was obviously relieved, it could be seen that he had a bad appetite, and he had always been a little bit uninspired.As we walked out of the hotel, I was tapped on the shoulder.Behind him was He Yuchen's voice: "Lin An?"

I turned around stiffly, and Chen Wei also turned to look at us.

"I just said, the back looks like you, what are you doing here? You and Chen Wei are not related."

After Chen Wei heard his name, his whole body turned around.And He Yuchen followed my gaze, and happened to meet Chen Wei's eyes.I coughed twice, and grabbed He Yuchen's arm to say something.

Chen Wei withdrew his gaze, took two steps outside, and He Yuchen said to me like nothing happened: "I haven't seen you for a long time, why don't you go to the store with me, and we can have a good chat?"

Although there was still class in the afternoon, I agreed and walked in the opposite direction to the school with He Yuchen. When I passed by Chen Wei, I found that he had once again set his eyes on He Yuchen. Yu Chen also gradually turned her neck and looked at him.

Chen Wei shouted: "Zhang Ran."

After shouting, the expressions of both of them changed.Chen Wei's expression turned regretful and annoyed, while He Yuchen looked at him disdainfully, feeling a little bit annoyed.

I know why He Yuchen reacted so strongly. As the master of his body, Zhang Ran may be the only person he has devoted his affection to in this city, but he never sees him again.Chen Wei did so many stupid things to Zhang Ran, it's understandable that he was provoked by Zhang Ran's voice, but why is Chen Wei angry?

I realized that the atmosphere was not right, so I stopped He Yuchen.And he broke free, rushed up, and kicked Chen Wei, but missed.Chen Wei threw a backhand punch, but when he got close, he suddenly withdrew his hand, and didn't hit He Yuchen's face, who was close at hand.The two of them stood in a stalemate for a while, and I wanted to go over to try to persuade them to fight, but He Yuchen pushed me and started fighting with Chen Wei again. The strikes were ruthless and precise, and Chen Wei couldn't block his face if he could block his stomach , was thrown to the ground.

Chen Wei spit out a mouthful of bloodshot saliva, got up, and began to fight back mercilessly, he clamped He Yuchen's shoulders and fell to the ground: "It's all because of you, if you didn't wear it on him, I would Not even a chance to make up for it. I wanted to live again, but you ruined my future, you know, you give him back to me!"

"Bah, do you deserve to make it up? Rebirth is not a privilege for scumbags!"

Seeing that they were wrestling to the ground again in a blink of an eye, I shouted: "You two stop fighting." I forcefully broke their shoulders that were leaning on each other, wishing that each of them would punch them and knock out a few teeth.

He Yuchen's injury was not serious, he stood up, his body was still a little shaky, he pressed his face, and said softly, "You don't deserve it."

A few people in uniforms came out of the hotel entrance, walking this way.Chen Wei collapsed on the ground and did not speak again.

He Yuchen dragged me and started to run, I don't know why He Yuchen wanted to run away, it was something that could have been resolved with just a few words with the security guard.When I ran to the shop where he worked, I saw his face was covered with water stains. He smiled and said that it was tears in the wind, and the cold wind was too irritating to the eyes.
