Sludge to the Mountain Ghost

Cleaned the car.

Xu Rui and Lin Pai routinely washed their hands by the sink outside the cafeteria. Lin Pai couldn't count the number of times this was the first time Xu Rui had washed his hands and threw water at him.

A few times he tried to throw water at Xu Rui, but he gave up after a while because he was too naive. Later, he found the rhythm of Xu Rui's water throwing, and he was able to dodge it very accurately. Later, he was too tired to even dodge. , simply ignore him and walk away.

For example, now is the last situation.

"Hey..." Xu Rui raised his hand halfway, trying to call Lin Pai down from the stairs. Fu Yanye and Yang Tong happened to walk between them, and it looked like he was greeting them.

Fu Yanye heard Xu Rui's voice, but he just glanced at Xu Rui and continued walking forward.

Instead, it was Yang Tong, who followed Fu Yanye two steps away, turned her head and waved to Xu Rui with a smile.

Fu Yanye stopped and waited, frowning impatiently, grabbed Yang Tong and walked away without looking back.

"Brother Rui..." Lin Pai walked back to him, walked around his back, and patted his shoulder sympathetically, "May I be blessed."

Xu Rui held Lin Pai's wrist that was holding his shoulder, turned his head to look at Lin Pai in a daze and asked, "Do you think I should resolutely refuse that bottle of water?"

"What do you think?" Lin Pai pulled out his wrist and asked him back, walking up the stairs.

Xu Rui dragged him back and walked towards the gate on the first floor of the cafeteria, "Their seats are on the first floor!"

The cafeteria was overcrowded, and there was a long queue in front of the window. They sat and squeezed in the crowd, and finally found the seat occupied by Zhou Ning. Xu Rui asked him where Li Cheng was. Zhou Ning pointed to the man who couldn't find his tail The long line explained that one of them is responsible for occupying seats and the other is responsible for queuing.

"Then the two of us are going to jump in line?" Xu Rui blurted out.

Zhou Ning looked up at the ceiling, then turned to Xu Rui, and looked at him from the beginning to the end, "The sun is coming out from the west, when did you pay attention to such trivial things as cutting in line?"

"I mean...that's really great!" Xu Rui pushed Lin Pai, pointed to the seat and said, "You sit here with him, I'll find out where Li Cheng is."

Zhou Ning stared at Xu Rui's back as he disappeared into the sea of ​​people. He looked left and right, approached Lin Pai and asked him in a low voice, "Lin Pai, Lin Pai, you know Brother Rui and Perfunctory...uh...Fu Yanye, what's going on now? What's the matter?"

Lin Pai shook his head, "If you don't know, I don't know. But we met them at the door just now, and they don't look very optimistic."

"They? Fu Yanye and Yang Tong? They're eating together..."

Zhou Ning sighed, stretched out two fingers and rubbed them on the table, and made sure that there was no layer of oil on them, so he put his elbows on it with confidence, tilted his head and said, "In the past, we all played together. , Eating together, we hang out all day and night except in class, but for the past half month, Brother Rui has stopped playing ball, and I get angry when I mention this. It must be Fu Yanye who let the water go, we lost the game, and the cafeteria also They all came with you..."

Lin Pai sat diagonally across from him, also propping up an elbow, but he didn't put his face on the palm of his hand, but just slightly padded his chin, listening carefully to Zhou Ning's complaints.

Zhou Ning's elongated reflex arc suddenly reacted, and he hurriedly said, "I didn't say you are bad! I just think...a good friend, why is it like this?"

"Well, I know." Lin Pai smiled slightly, "Actually, it's useless for us to think about this matter. Why don't we just trust Xu Rui and believe that he can handle it well."

Zhou Ning nodded thoughtfully, chatted with Lin Pai for a while, and saw Xu Rui and Li Cheng walking over with two dinner plates.

Xu Rui put Lin Pai's share in front of him, handed him chopsticks and spoons, and turned to Zhou Ning, "Did you speak ill of me behind my back? I sneezed just now while queuing."

"The conscience of heaven and earth! I..." Zhou Ning raised three fingers to swear, only to realize that Li Cheng forgot to take his chopsticks, immediately forgot about Xu Rui's sneezing, and dragged Li Cheng to the place where the tableware was placed.

"I'm already cooking, can't you help me get some?" Li Cheng reluctantly sat on the seat.

"No, it's too far away, who made you forget!"

Li Cheng stood up with a look of lovelessness, and before leaving, he did not forget to turn his head to expose Xu Rui's crimes, "Brother Rui! You didn't tell me when you took it secretly!"

Xu Rui smiled and said "goodbye" to him. Just as he turned around, he thought of his original question again. He pointed at Lin Pai with a spoon, "To be honest, did you speak ill of me to Zhou Ning?"

"No." Lin Pai shook his head without hesitation, "But when it comes to tomorrow's competition, you have a triple jump, right? I won't be a cheerleader for you, this glorious task is still handed over to our class Professional team, I have a tutorial book that is several sections behind."

"Oh, all right, but the Saturday morning relay must come!"

"Mr. Li is forcing the whole class to attend the relay race, so I definitely have to go too."

Xu Rui got an affirmative reply, but he couldn't say why, there was a gray shadow floating around, as if lingering in the sky above his head.

He felt a little disappointed, but he couldn't figure out where this faint disappointment came from.

He picked up his chopsticks and started to eat. The lunch meal was very good, but he was a bit ignorant.

In the afternoon, Xu Rui went to the small gymnasium for training, while Lin Pai kept studying in the classroom.

There were only a few people in the classroom, and most of them were immersed in their own work, so the unfamiliar faces who appeared at the door did not attract much attention.

Dong Wenwen walked all the way to his desk, and Lin Pai looked up and saw him.Lin Pai looked around the classroom and saw that everyone was quiet, so he went to talk with Dong Wenwen in the corridor outside.

"I ran into your grandma after school last time, and she asked me what class you were in. Did anything happen afterwards?" Dong Wenwen asked this question first as soon as he got outside the classroom.

"Oh...it's nothing, how do you know what class I'm in?"

"The list of top students on the first floor was listed on the same day. You are very conspicuous." Dong Wenwen smiled sincerely, "I have been busy with my previous homework recently, so I didn't have time to go to the Internet cafe, so I came to you directly , I want to ask if you still have the study materials for the first year of high school?"

"They're all at home, but they're all from the previous school. If you want them, I'll pack them up and bring them to you."

The sun turned at an angle and just hit Lin Pai's face. He took two steps back and hid in the shadow of the pillar.

"What I want is the previous materials. I have missed so many classes, and the midterm exam is not particularly difficult. You must know that the difficulty here..."

Dong Wenwen didn't say any more, the content after that was something he and Lin Pai had tacitly agreed to.

"Well, it's a little bit harder. By the way, why did you start taking classes? I seemed to have seen you in the running team before, and thought I was wrong. It was..." Lin Pai recalled the time, but suddenly Can't catch up.

Dong Wenwen took his words, "I came to the school after the National Day, and I missed a month's class. I didn't notice you when I was doing exercises."

Lin Pai nodded, "Oh, I'll let you know when the information is sorted out, it should only be in these two days."

"Okay, then I'll go first." Dong Wenwen greeted, turned his back and walked to the stairs, and turned back after a few steps, "Lin Pai, what do you think... that's right, I'm talking about a hypothesis, that is……"

Dong Wenwen's voice was very low, and he hesitated for a while without saying anything. Lin Pai waited quietly, and it took a long time before he continued, "If one day I become very strange, you still Will you consider me a friend?"

"What?" The question came so suddenly that Lin Pai was stunned for a moment, and Dong Wenwen shook his head and said "nothing", and hurried down the stairs.

26. Chapter 26

The bulletin board outside the gymnasium was replaced with a new round of score statistics table, one for each year group, and the last column of each sheet indicated the ranking status of each class as of yesterday's competition.

As soon as the students in charge of pasting left, the students and class teachers from all classes gathered together.

Just as Lin Pai came out of the equipment room, he carried a pair of spikes that Xu Rui wanted to change. There were so many people in front of the bulletin board that he couldn't squeeze through, so he had to take a short detour and enter the gymnasium through another door.

The sky above was gloomy, with dark clouds changing shapes, gradually blocking the whitening sky.

Lin Pai felt a chill on the back of his neck. He reached out to touch it and found that it was raining.

The rain was not heavy, only a few drops fell on my body occasionally, except that it was not as warm as yesterday, and I didn't feel much walking outside.

However, the roof of the gymnasium is made of iron sheet material, and the raindrops hitting the iron sheet can always magnify the rain several times.

Xu Rui was warming up at the check-in office for the relay race. Lin Pai handed him the spiked shoes. He took the shoes and sat down on the ground next to Li Cheng. He looked up at Lin Pai, "Is it raining a lot outside?"

Standing in the gymnasium, Lin Pai could hear the "crackling" sound of rainwater hitting the iron sheet above his head. He looked at the entrance where he came in just now, and the outside was still very bright. It sounded a bit exaggerated."

Xu Rui patted the open space next to him and signaled Lin Pai to sit down, "Should the score statistics of yesterday be out? Where is our class now?"

Lin Pai glanced at the green-painted floor, remembering that he had seen many people with two prints on the back of school pants in the past two days, so he barely squatted beside Xu Rui, "I haven't seen it yet, Zhou Ning went to see it, When he comes, you can ask him directly."

"Why should he ask
