Bamboo Horse Warm Flower

Under Wen Xiaohuare's excessive care, my foot injury recovered quickly. After only four days of observation, the doctor approved me to go home.

The day I was discharged from the hospital happened to be the lottery match of the high school basketball game. Our school played an away game, and the game was played in Qingtan City, so I couldn't rush to watch the game and cheer.At noon this day, my mother came to pick me up to go through the discharge procedures. I stood in the hospital lobby with my luggage to check the time. Now that the game is over, is Wen Xiaohua walking around wearing his No. 11 battle uniform again? The opponent is so annoying, maybe he will use the hem of his jersey to wipe his sweat, and put a towel on his forehead to play cool, pity him for these little tricks of COS Rukawa Kaede, probably only I can get them in my lifetime...

Just as she was thinking happily, the phone rang, and it was Zhang Long calling.

"Did you win?" I asked as soon as I answered the phone.

"Win!" Zhang Long said loudly, surrounded by the noise of Ulala, it seems that they are still in the arena, "It's a pity that you couldn't come to the scene, Wei Tian, ​​this game is very exciting, I, Mr. Wen, alone One person takes half of the team's points!"

Zhang Long is the least brain-damaged among Wen Xiaohua's fans, he was so excited that he shouted "Master Wen", it can be seen that Wen Xiaohua performed well today, I am not surprised at all, but I also feel a little pity: "Where is Wen Fan? "

"Oh, he was originally in the team locker room..."

Before Zhang Long finished speaking, Ma Mian grabbed the phone: "Wei Tian told you, that girl is here too! Do you remember? The one who wrote a love letter to Mr. Wen! Today our school played against Qingtan No. [-] Middle School , that girl in the auditorium of her school stood up to the pressure and cheered for Young Master Wen alone! After the game, I saw her make a special trip to wait for Young Master Wen outside the locker room, just now, the two of them went out together!"

***

I don't even remember how I ended the call with Ma Mianzhanglong.But when I heard the news that Wen Xiaohua and that girl met again, and Liu Dou and Zhao Fu excitedly echoed "Are these two getting along", I wasn't particularly shocked or sad.Like a cancer patient who is suddenly sentenced to death, he just accepts the established fact that it will come sooner or later, no matter how bad it is.

In the taxi, an old song is playing on the radio:

what reason

I will meet you again

I really really don't want to

fall into the trap of love

I never thought that one day when I listen to this song, what I think about is the love that surprises others.

The chorus kept looping, and I suddenly felt sad.

***

When I got home, my mother opened the door and took what I was holding: "Don't go to school today, take a good rest..."

Standing in the entrance, I suddenly saw the empty room and the packed luggage on the floor.

The mother also looked at the deserted living room: "Because you were hospitalized, I didn't tell you before that your father was transferred to City B as a district manager, and he will stay there for many years..."

I know what I said later: "...when will you move?"

"You guys have the final exam next week. You take the exam well. After the exam, go through the transfer procedures, and we will go there."

I nodded and went into my room.

The things in my room are still in the same place, and the books and figures on the shelves have not been touched. I probably want to wait for me to clean up when I come back, and decide which ones to take away and which ones to keep.

I don’t like moving. Every time I move, there are always things that have to be given up. When I moved from my grandmother’s house to the city when I was a child, I have already given up too many things, and now I have more things that I don’t want to give up.I stared at the figures on the bookshelf in a daze. I can still take the Ant-Man that Wen Xiaohua gave me, but I don’t want to sit in a strange room at all, look at the Ant-Man he gave me with nostalgia, and look up. I want to hear the annoying sound of ball hitting upstairs again, but I know I can't hear it anymore.

It was like a revelation when the bad news came one after another, and I pushed open the window and looked at the pale sky.What exactly do you want me to understand?

***

I didn't stay at home to rest. I rushed back to school in the afternoon, just in time for the second self-study class. I borrowed notes and test papers from someone, and started to study hard by myself with the copied materials.I can't change the decision to move to City B. Wen Xiaohua and that girl will come together too. After thinking about it, the only thing I can do for him now is to not make him regret handing in the last exam. lost my friend.

At the end of the self-study class, I received a WeChat message from Wen Xiaohua asking where I was, and I said I was at school.

Wen Xiaohua sent me a voice message: "Okay, I'll be back to school in a while, so just wait for me!"

It sounded like he had a lot to say to me, but when I heard the impatient "wait for me", I just felt like I was sitting on pins and needles.

I stayed and waited for him, and took the time to review and prepare for the exam while waiting.Everyone in the classroom had left, only Yuan Dong, who was late, stayed behind and was procrastinatingly cleaning.

The half-dry mop bumped against the legs of my table and chair from time to time. I straightened out the review materials again and began to study hard again.

Yuan Dong said impatiently: "Hey, if you want to review, won't you go home to review? You are here to hinder me from cleaning, okay?"

"I'm waiting for someone." I said.

"Do you have to wait in the classroom?"

There are so many things to memorize, digest, and consolidate at hand that it seems that I can’t read them all in half a lifetime. I can’t help but feel a little impatient, and I replied abruptly: "Can't you just review your homework by the way? In your eyes, waiting for others is a must Wait, this kind of living is called wasting life."

Yuan Dong "cut": "What's the score? You're not a genius. What do geniuses do to review their homework? Are you hypocritical or not?" As he spoke, he deliberately swung the rag in the bucket vigorously, and the sewage "squeaked" splashed on my desk.

I endured it again and again, and this time I became angry, and put down the pen with a "snap": "I never said that I am a genius, and Wen Fan is a genius. Are you satisfied with this? Also, can you do your cleaning quietly?" , let me, a mortal, hypocritically review my homework in the classroom?"

"Heh, are you still angry?" Yuan Dong simply threw the rag into the bucket, splashing Lao Gao's water onto my trouser legs, "You are the one who insists on sitting here and hindering me from cleaning, why are you justified?! School How can you not review homework at such an age? If you really want to review, you can review on the curb!"

I stood up abruptly, not knowing what was wrong with me, I was furious, I was hindering him from cleaning, but I just didn't want to say "I'm sorry" and let it go!

I insisted on not leaving, and Yuan Dong was also irritated by the way I was lying in the middle of the road, and threw the mop: "Why, you still want to be hard?!"

The hardest thing to do is to fight.Without saying a word, I turned the chair around, rolled up my sleeves, and put my elbows on the desk in a heavy manner.

I can't fight, but I can wrestle arms.

Seeing this, Yuan Dong cupped his fists and made a gesture of "surrender", and sat down on the other side not to be outdone.

We fought fiercely, and we didn't know whether grief and anger could really be transformed into strength, but I actually defeated Yuan Dong who looked stronger than me.

Yuan Dong rubbed his veined wrist, and looked at me with admiration: "I can't tell, Wei Tian, ​​you still have this hand..."

I didn't even think about it, I was ready to throw my fist at you if I lost.I pushed my glasses: "I have accepted."

After a round of fighting, I got rid of my anger, and Yuan Dong also cleared up the previous feud with me. He cleaned up one after another, and said to me: "Aren't you going to wait for Wen Fan, or I will leave the key. Here you go."

I just buried my head in reviewing and said "No, thank you".

I heard Yuan Dong packing his schoolbag, but he didn't leave. It took a long time before I heard a sigh. I looked up, and Yuan Dong stood at the door of the classroom, scratching his head and said, "You geniuses are too egotistical. Others want to talk to you, but they can’t make friends. That’s fine, remember to close the door when you leave.”

I looked at the back of Yuan Dong leaving, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water, so in the eyes of outsiders, I was actually the same as Wen Xiaohua.Wen Xiaohua can't find friends, because he is a genius, and there is an insurmountable barrier between him and ordinary people, but at least he still has a group of friends who grew up together, but I have no friends because I was only chasing Wen Xiaohua, forgetting that I could turn around and hold the hand that was handed over by others. It was I who erected the fence.

I couldn't wait for Wen Xiaohua that day. I waited in the classroom for almost an hour and called Wen Xiaohua, but was told that I was not in the service area.The school was about to close, so I packed my schoolbag, closed the windows for the Eighth Prince, locked the classroom door, went around to the back of the basketball hall, fed the chief a few pieces of ham, and went home by myself.

As soon as he got home, he received a call from Wen Xiaohua. He was panting like a cow on the other end of the phone: "I'm sorry Wei Tian, ​​are you still waiting for me at school?! The bus is stuck in a tunnel, and I didn't have a signal to contact you before! "

I also expected [-]% of it, but when I heard him say that he would not come back for the time being, I felt like I had escaped a catastrophe.

"Why are you out of breath?" I asked.

"It's nothing," Wen Xiaohua clicked his tongue, "The phone is almost out of battery, so I'll see you at night when I come back!"

I didn't have time to say anything, the phone was already hung up.I know that Wen Xiaohua must want to tell me about the game, but maybe he will say something else, assuming he really regards me as a confidant.

I should feel honored that he was so eager to talk to me, but I was tired and self-loathing as if I had been tortured.

However, Wen Xiaohua didn't even come to see me at night.It was after nine o'clock that I received the last call from Wen Xiaohua. His side was finally no longer noisy from the traffic, and it was quiet, as if he had already arrived home.

"Wei Tian, ​​are you asleep?"

I was obviously still reviewing my homework, but I hurriedly turned off the light as if I felt guilty, saying that I had gone to bed and rested.

Wen Xiaohua seemed a little regretful: "I'm really sorry, I wanted to come back quickly and tell you about the game, but you couldn't come to the scene..."

"It's okay," I said, "we'll talk about it at school tomorrow." If it's just about the competition, I'd be willing to listen to it, "Why did you come back so late, have you been stuck all night?"

"No, the bus is stuck in a tunnel. I got off the bus to call you, but the bus was unblocked just after the call. The driver probably forgot about me. I didn't go back to the bus. I had everything on the bus except my phone. , I had no choice but to walk back..."

I just realized why he was panting like that when he called me in the afternoon. The bus was stuck in the tunnel and there was no signal. He must have run out of the tunnel to call me...

Which driver can leave Wen Xiaohua on the road? This is too bullying!

I'm standing in the room with the lights out, looking up at the ceiling, I'm still awake, should I go see him?This guy must have a lot of things to say, and he has been holding back all day, maybe he just wants to talk to me about the game...

"It's so late, you should go to bed," Wen Xiaohua said on the phone, with a tired smile in her voice, "See you tomorrow~"

I stood there for a while, and saw that the lights upstairs were also off, and Wen Xiaohua walked two or three kilometers on foot, so she must be too tired.He fell asleep, so I closed the curtains, turned on the bedside lamp, and threw myself into homework again.

***

When I arrived at school the next day, Wen Xiaohua really pulled me to talk about the competition. All kinds of onomatopoeias of "咻咻" and "咚咚" kept coming, and I had the illusion that the person standing in front of me was a human-shaped speaker, which was broadcasting live. Chapter XXX of "Slam Dunk", Rukawa Kaede's battlefield alone!The whole story is "No. 8 passed the ball to me", "I made a match with No. 3", "Number 9 almost lost the ball but I got it in time" "And then I dunked!"… …After the live broadcast of the game, Wen Xiaohua told me one by one as thoughtfully as if pulling a CAST watch, No. 8 is Dong Fei, No. 3 is Wu Chen, No. 9 is Li Haofei, blablabla... I am still very pleased with this CAST list, It shows that Wen Xiaohua has a conscience.

Even though I was very worried, I was still amused by him more than once.Being with Wen Xiaohua makes me happy even when I am troubled.

The class bell rang, but Wen Xiaohua still clung to my desk and refused to leave. She didn't rush back to her seat until Mr. Mu walked in and coughed ferociously.The final exam will be in three days. The class is mainly self-study. With Mr. Mu sitting in charge, everyone concentrates on preparing for the exam. The classroom is very quiet. Without the big squirrel making noise in my ears, I feel like I was killed by a big tail 10 minutes ago. Wen Xiaohua tried her best to pull the roller coaster on the peak, but now she seemed to have lost power and was sliding down.Today next month, I will be sitting in a classroom without Wen Xiaohua.

Behind me, Rukawa Kaede, who returned triumphantly, was flipping through the simulated test papers boredly, then yawned, lay down limply, and dragged the test paper over to cover his forehead amidst Mr. Mu's serious cough.If you put your hand under the test paper now, you will receive bursts of vigorous hot spring wind from Wen Xiaohua.

The nose seemed to be choked with mustard.I'm going to miss him so much.

***

I don’t know if it’s not ready yet, Wen Xiaohua didn’t mention the girl who sent the love letter, this day passed safely, I seemed to have successfully avoided that topic, I couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, thank God for being merciful to me .

The final exam will be in three days. During these three days, the Crab Legion and the basketball team are also preparing for the exam like crazy. They talk about "examination", "pill" and occasionally "cheating" and "cheat sheet", but I don't care. When I didn't hear it, all "beep--" passed.No one mentioned anything else.I just woke up in the uneasy morning, and returned home in the evening with a lucky mood.

Sitting in the half-cleared bedroom, I was so exhausted that I wanted to fall asleep. There have been so many exams since I was a child, and there has never been a time like this one that left me so uncertain.And this should be the last time, Wen Xiaohua and I appeared on the same list, I really want to have a good result, like a novel, as a supporting role, I can also have a good exit.

***

The exam schedule for No. [-] Middle School is very tight, and after the exam, there will be a week of make-up classes, and the holiday will only be given after the results are released.On the first day, there are three subjects to be tested, and the rhythm is as busy as a war.Before the exam, all the student numbers were messed up, and the exam room was determined by drawing lots. The students in the whole school were spinning like a spinning top.After finishing the two subjects in the morning, when I took the English test in the afternoon, for the first time in history, I failed to re-check it. After the test, many people still asked me to check the answers, but I was not sure. When everyone was arguing, I hurried downstairs. left.

I found Wen Xiaohua in Zongsijun's old lair behind the basketball hall. He was squatting in front of Zongsijun's wall, with his schoolbag on his knees, still holding a piece of dogtail grass in his hand, poking it into the crack of the wall: "Where did you go, you don't miss me when I go out to compete these days..."

I just remembered that he must have come out to wait for me after the exam, and must have been waiting for a long time.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" I pretended to be relaxed and walked forward.

Wen Xiaohua turned around when she heard the sound, stood up and dropped her schoolbag to the ground: "No, I just arrived too! I listened to you this time, and checked the test paper after I finished it, but I still handed it in ahead of time, otherwise I would have to wait again." I was stuck asking for answers endlessly~”

I was taken aback, I didn't expect him to take my angry words to heart, but what can I say?There is only a wry smile, I asked you to finish the exam, but do you know that if you check it again, I will have no chance at all.

"Let's go." Wen Xiaohua picked up her schoolbag and walked over. The bristlegrass was still hanging on the chain of the schoolbag, and she secretly raised her head in the breeze.

I thought to myself that I don't need to win him in the exam, as long as I still come in second.

The next day was another busy day like a spinning top. After the two subjects in the morning, there was finally only one subject left, physics. It was my best subject. I quickly scanned the test papers. Before the test, Mr. Mu told us The difficult questions in the physics exam this time did not bluff us.From time to time, there were two tricky clicks in the classroom, but I was relieved. I couldn't be sure before, so let's get back physically now.

I thought this would be the easiest subject for me to pass, but the result was unexpected.

What happens when a person is exhausted to the limit and suddenly relaxes?

In the past few days, I practiced day and night and helped the basketball team with tutoring. After I was discharged from the hospital, I prepared for the exam every night until [-]:[-] in the morning. I finally survived the most uncertain chemistry. One day I would actually fall asleep in my best physics exam room.

I don't know how long I slept. I woke up suddenly when the invigilator reminded me of the time. At this time, it was less than 10 minutes before the end of the exam, and I still had half a page of questions without writing a single word!

No matter how hard I tried to write and write, it was useless. In the last few minutes, I was reviewing the questions so hard that my eyes were so painful that tears came out of my eyes. The bell for the end of the exam still rang on time. I felt the panic of not finishing the test paper.The questions are too difficult, after all, the majority of people did not finish. Although the invigilator kept urging, some people still seized the last few seconds and scribbled on the question card, trying to get a multiple-choice question right.

When the invigilator came down and took the test paper away from me, I still had a whole big question, so I just wrote the beginning.

The invigilator collected all the question cards and test papers and went to the podium. Amidst the criss-crossing figures of the examinees and the groans of complaints, I saw Wen Xiaohua waiting for me outside the door.

I don't know how to describe his expression at the moment, I feel like I have been sentenced to death.
