my kind of person

At the end of May, Ancai's sophomore took the monthly exam for the third time this semester.Their grade exams have always been very regular, usually with a moderately difficult topic and a slightly more difficult topic alternately.

This time the exam was moderately difficult, and Xiao Yi didn't feel much during the exam. After the exam, he just checked the answers to a few difficult questions with his classmates.

But two days later, after the test papers were corrected and handed out, Xiao Yi discovered that his mathematics had miscalculated two very simple questions. The two questions were ten points, plus the small questions in the big questions. This semester's first math test is so bad.

The math teacher in their class had already read Xiao Yi's math papers, and asked him to go to the office after evening self-study.

The teacher also knows that no matter how good a student is, it is impossible for a student to make no mistakes, and it is understandable to be careless occasionally, not to mention, this is also a rare case for Xiao Yi.Therefore, the teacher just told Xiao Yi to pay attention to the next exam and not to do it too fast just because he understood the questions.

After returning to the classroom from the office, Xiao Yi was still feeling a little depressed. Seeing his annoyed look, Ms. Zhou came over and patted him, saying, "Okay, don't worry, I'll treat you to a smoothie tonight."

Xiao Yi calmed down and thought about it. He was indeed a little impatient recently, and he was about to be in his third year of high school. There was no more chance for him to be careless.He took a deep breath and quickly recovered from a misstep in an exam.

Not long ago, the teachers of each subject recommended practice papers suitable for each student in the class according to their specific situation. If the foundation is not strong, it is better to consolidate the foundation; Most of the students just brushed the college entrance examination mock papers and the finale questions.

For Xiao Yi, in addition to pure liberal arts subjects such as English and Chinese, subjects that have more memory points than other science subjects such as biology still need to be improved. Other subjects belong to the category of higher level, basically very early Start brushing the simulation volume.

When the evening self-study was over, the paper in Xiao Yi's hand was almost finished, so he thought about going to the bookstore tomorrow evening to see if he could buy the paper recommended by the teacher.

After returning to the dormitory, Xiao Yi wrote the names of some exercise papers in the memo on his mobile phone, and couldn't help but open WeChat to look through contacts, and clicked on the chat history with Xie Zixin.

The chat history was still at the last transfer he confiscated when he was asked to come over to pick up the phone last time. Xiao Yi got angry when he saw the message, so he simply turned off the phone and went to wash up.

After dinner the next day, Xiao Yi left school and went to the bookstore. While walking on the road, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated twice. He took it out and took a look. He was taken aback, but the person who sent the message was actually Xie Zixin.

Xie Zixin sent two messages, one of which was a photo of several reference books on the bookshelf.

Xie Zixin: Xiao Yi, are you free now, can you help me find out which of these is more suitable for me?Thanks

For some reason, the boredom in Xiao Yi's heart for the past two days disappeared when he saw the news from Xie Zixin. deaf ears.

Xiao Yi looked at the photo carefully, and felt that the bookshelves in the photo looked familiar. This was the bookstore he was going to soon.

Xiao Yi replied: Are you in the bookstore now?

Xie Zixin: Yes

Xiao Yi: Wait a minute, I'm on my way too, and I'll be there in 15 minutes

Xiao Yi walked quickly in the direction of the bookstore, took the short cut from the small alley last time, said it took 15 minutes, and after seven or eight minutes, he had already arrived at the door of the bookstore.

Xiao Yi came to the second floor of the bookstore where learning materials were sold, and at a glance he saw Xie Zixin standing by the bookshelf alone, looking down at a reference book.

Xiao Yi called him, and Xie Zixin raised his head following the voice, with a slightly surprised expression, as if he didn't expect Xiao Yi to arrive so soon.

Xiao Yi stepped forward, took the few reference books he mentioned from the bookshelf, and looked at them. They were all basic materials, which were more suitable for Xie Zixin's situation.Xiao Yi carefully flipped through the contents of each book, glanced at the difficulty of the exercise questions, and finally picked out one of them.

"If you can understand the basics in the first year of high school, it's fine, and it doesn't matter if you don't have problems. Anyway, you have to start reading from the first year of high school after you enroll." Xiao Yi said, "The knowledge requirements for junior high school will be higher, but you should pay attention to this. If you have learned it, you should be able to remember it after reviewing it.”

Xie Zixin took the book and nodded.

Xiao Yi: "Do you have any other books to buy?"

"I'll take another look." Xie Zixin said, "Go and do your work."

Xiao Yi: "Okay, call me if you need something."

Xiao Yi went around the college entrance examination guide book. He had already thought about what to buy, so naturally he bought it relatively quickly.After choosing, he returned to the display area where Xie Zixin was, thinking that he could help him check the quality of the books.

The book Xie Zixin wanted seemed to be on the top shelf of the bookshelf. He tiptoed slightly, stretched his arms to get it, and the loose cuffs of the long-sleeved T-shirt slid down to his arms, revealing his thin arms that had been wrapped in clothes all year round.

Xiao Yi was about to step forward and say that he would help him, when his eyes accidentally fell on Xie Zixin's exposed elbow. On the fair skin inside the elbow, there were three burnt scars from cigarette butts.

For a moment, Xiao Yi felt as if his head was being poured by ice-cold water, and he even felt his scalp go numb.

Xie Zixin didn't notice that Xiao Yi was standing behind him. When he got the book, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind and grabbed his forearm. The movement was sharp and firm, and there was a crisp "pop".

Xie Zixin was startled, turned around, and met Xiao Yi's gloomy scrutiny.

The book in Xie Zixin's hand fell to the ground, Xiao Yi suddenly raised his arm and looked at his elbow.The burn scar of the cigarette butt seemed to have passed for a long time, and the color was lighter than other places. The edge of the round hole-shaped scar was still fleshy pink, and the shape was clearly visible, and the surface was still somewhat uneven.

It was enough to see how deeply it was scalded at that time.

"What's going on here?" Xiao Yi's voice was as cold as ice, "Who burned you with cigarette butts?"

Xie Zixin didn't expect Xiao Yi to find out about this at all. He didn't like others seeing these wounds, so he endured the heat and wore long-sleeved clothes even in the summer.He subconsciously wanted to break free, but Xiao Yi held it tightly, and the place where he was caught was pinched white.

Seeing Xie Zixin's refusal, Xiao Yi said angrily, "Say it or not!"

The bookstore was very quiet, Xiao Yi's voice was not low, customers in twos and threes all looked towards the two of them, Xie Zixin gradually stopped struggling, but did not speak.

Xiao Yi stared at his face, and his heart was turned upside down by the wound on Xie Zixin's body. This was not an ordinary wound caused by fighting with others, not to mention, Xie Zixin would not be the one who was bullied like that.

At that moment, Xiao Yi truly believed that he actually knew nothing about Xie Zixin.

Xiao Yi said in a deep voice, "How did you do it?"

"This is my own business." Xie Zixin replied lightly.

"Then can you feel better if you hold it in your heart?" Xiao Yi was really irritated by Xie Zixin's indifferent attitude, and he couldn't help but increase his tone, "What I hate the most is your appearance!"

As soon as this sentence was said, Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, and then secretly annoyed in his heart, oh no, he said it too seriously.

Sure enough, Xie Zixin was stunned by the yelling for half a second, then turned his head hastily, but the word hate was too heavy, his eyes turned red almost instantly, the word was disassembled stroke by stroke, penetrating every bit, and became A bundle of thin threads with thorns was pierced into his heart with a needle, and a scar was densely sewn on his heart, a scar deeper than any physical pain.

Xiao Yi saw his red eyes clearly, and all the words were blocked in his throat. Even he felt that this word was too cruel, let alone Xie Zixin.

Xiao Yi: "I'm not..."

Xie Zixin took this opportunity to break free from him, picked up the books on the floor, turned around and left, his back quickly disappeared among the rows of bookshelves.

Xiao Yi froze for a few seconds, and strode to catch up, but when he went downstairs, he couldn't find Xie Zixin anywhere, not even at the cash register.

Xiao Yi knew that Xie Zixin didn't leave the bookstore so quickly, but he just found a place to hide and didn't want to see him. Xiao Yi stood where he was, almost never feeling so depressed.

Thinking about it now, he could have slowed down his voice and asked carefully, but when he saw those scars, his head buzzed, and he was really out of breath. He was worried that something bad happened to Xie Zixin, and at the same time Angry at his indifferent attitude, I was a little impulsive for a while.

Xiao Yi gritted his teeth and rubbed his hair, and even couldn't help scolding himself in a low voice.

After calming down, Xiao Yi sent a few messages to Xie Zixin.

Xiao Yi: I was a little impulsive just now, I was too fierce to you, sorry

Xiao Yi: I didn't mean to hate you, I just didn't want you to keep everything in your heart

Xiao Yi: I don't hate you

It wasn't until Xiao Yi's figure completely disappeared at the door of the bookstore that Xie Zixin slowly walked out from the bathroom on the first floor of the bookstore. He took the two books to check out, and when he turned on his phone, he saw the message Xiao Yi had sent him.

Xie Zixin did not reply to those messages, paid the money, and left the bookstore.

Xie Zixin returned home by bus, and just as he put down his things, he received a call from his aunt, whom he hadn't contacted for a while.

Chen Jing knew that Xie Zixin was preparing to transfer schools recently, so she would occasionally call to inquire about his recent situation, and told him to eat well and pay attention to rest.

"Xiaoxin, this Saturday afternoon, I'm going to do some errands in the old town, and I'll visit you when I'm done. It's about six or seven o'clock." Chen Jing said, "My aunt hasn't cooked for you for a long time, and I'll cook for you tomorrow." Make something delicious."

The sound of the TV and children playing on Chen Jing's phone was faintly heard, which was in stark contrast to Xie Zixin's home where she lived alone, one was noisy and the other was quiet.

Xie Zixin: "Well, thank you, auntie."

Chen Jing: "I know you've been nervous about studying recently, but don't be too tired, and don't save too much on food and use. Buy everything you need..."

Chen Jing's voice was somewhat similar to that of Xie Zixin's mother, Chen Yun. The soft voices surrounding her ears made Xie Zixin really relieved of the tension in her heart. The tiredness, sadness, uneasiness and Anxiety magnified infinitely at this moment, and surrounded him.

Xie Zixin: "Well..."

Chen Jing paused, her voice became tense and worried: "Xiaoxin, what's wrong with you? I heard your voice sound like you're crying? Nothing happened, right?"

Xie Zixin swallowed a mouthful of saliva towards his swollen throat, suppressing the soreness in his heart, he didn't want his aunt to see it and make her worry about him, all his emotions were reduced to three hoarse words: "I'm fine."
