Time makes you fall

◎Coke◎

By the time Qu Qingcheng walked slowly to the edge of the playground, the 500 meters had already been run.

Entering the free time, the girls are in groups of three or four, except for some who are playing badminton, they all gather under the tree to hide and chat.

Qu Qingcheng immediately saw the thin, tall girl leaning against the wire on the playground.

There was no shade in that area, but the girl seemed to ignore the sun in order to keep a distance from the group of girls hiding under the tree.

One leg is bent, long hair hangs down, and it is estimated that the earphones are still plugged in.

Fingers on the small hole in the barbed wire, dig out a twisted shape.

Qu Qingcheng walked over with a smile: "Aren't you afraid of the sun?"

******

Zhu Yao was startled when a warm and soft voice sounded in his ear.

She didn't expect Qu Qingcheng to be here, so she turned her head and took a look: "I'm not afraid of the sun."

Qu Qingcheng smiled: "Are you afraid of the heat?"

She handed over a bottle of Coke in her hand.

A tiny 300ml bottle, just big enough to fit through the tiny hole in the wire mesh, the clear plastic bottle is covered with a white mist, obviously just out of the refrigerator.

A great allure on a sweltering summer day.

Zhu Yao couldn't help reaching out to take it.

Unscrewing the bottle, there was a "chi" sound, proudly demonstrating the abundance of carbon dioxide.

The supreme enjoyment in summer is the first bite of iced cola and the piece in the center of watermelon.

Zhu Yao took a big sip, and every pore in his body was clamoring for satisfaction. Once he relaxed, he uttered a loud "hiccup."

Immediately glanced at Qu Qingcheng, blushing.

Qu Qingcheng smiled, unscrewed the Coke in his hand.

I also took a big sip, didn't hiccup, but sighed contentedly, like drinking taro ball milk tea last night: "It's so cool!"

Seeing that Zhu Yao was looking at her, he asked with a smile, "Why?"

Zhu Yao shook his head: "Nothing."

Just gulping down Coke and saying "cool" in a hearty tone, Zhu Yao accidentally saw another side of Qu Qingcheng.

Qu Qingcheng asked: "You all have to run 500 meters in physical education class?"

Here we go again, with a gentle southern accent.

Zhu Yao nodded: "I'm going to run, it's so hot."

Qu Qingcheng: "You can put Coke on your face like this to cool down."

Zhu Yao took a look at Qu Qingcheng.

Qu Qingcheng lifted up the small Coke bottle, tilted his head, and stuck it to his fair face.

Zhu Yao: "Why are you Coke Zero?"

"Can't you?"

"Mine has sugar in it."

"Your child's."

"I'm also afraid of being fat."

"Where do children get fat, I was 17 years old and I didn't get fat by eating anything."

"that is you."

"If you go on, the Coke won't be iced."

Zhu Yao took another look at Qu Qingcheng.

Qu Qingcheng looked at her with a smile, beckoning her to follow his example and put the Coke bottle on her face.

Zhu Yao did so.

Qu Qingcheng asked: "Is it comfortable?"

Zhu Yao didn't answer.

The Coke bottle was pressed against the place where Zhu Yinglan hit her face last night, it was icy cold, irritating and comfortable, making her eyes seem to be hit by a large amount of carbon dioxide, and there was an uncontrollable tide.

In order to endure that feeling, Zhu Yao took the initiative to ask, "Why is it so nice to invite me to drink Coke?"

"I want to drink it myself." Qu Qingcheng smiled: "Buy one get one free at the canteen."

"so good?"

"Yeah."

"Is there a lot of people lining up?"

Zhu Yao likes to drink iced Coke, and there is always a refrigerator at home, but he never goes to the canteen to buy it for physical education class, because there are many people queuing up.

A lot of people she wanted to avoid.

Qu Qingcheng blinked: "I have the privilege."

Then Zhu Yao remembered that the teacher didn't have to wait in line.

She couldn't help but say, "It's great to grow up."

Qu Qingcheng smiled: "Children think it's good to grow up, and they will grow up one day. But if adults think it's good to be young, it will be difficult."

Zhu Yao put the ice coke bottle on the slightly swollen face, rolling back and forth.

She pursed her lips and said softly, "I don't think it's good now."

There was a brief silence.

The sound of the wind.The sound of leaves singing.The cicada dragged its tune lazily.

There are also the group of girls under the shade of the tree not far away, chattering and bustling.

But now Zhu Yao has Qu Qingcheng talking to her.

Qu Qingcheng suddenly asked: "I bought you a Coke, how can you repay me?"

Zhu Yao was taken aback: "Isn't it buy one get one free?"

She quickly said, "I'll pay you back, two yuan, right..."

Touching his pocket, he was taken aback again: "Oops, I forgot my phone in the classroom."

Qu Qingcheng was dying of laughter: "Who wants your two dollars?"

"In today's class, I'm going to ask you a question, what do the words 赍发 and 赍仙 in the previous article mean?"

Zhu Yao was dumbfounded.

Qu Qingcheng was amused by Zhu Yao's expression again: "Then you have to do your homework well today to repay my iced Coke."

"Otherwise, I will ask you to answer questions in class every day."

Qu Qingcheng left, Zhu Yao pinched the Coke bottle in his hand and glanced at Qu Qingcheng's back.

The pure white skirt fluttered and swept over her white and clean calves.

Like a daffodil.

A thought suddenly popped up in Zhu Yao's mind - why did she think that Qu Qingcheng bought Coke to cool her face when she found out that she had been slapped?

Could it be that during class break, in the corridor, when Qu Qingcheng was holding her earphones, did he notice faint marks on her face?

As soon as this idea came up, Zhu Yao pushed it down.

How could Qu Qingcheng pay so much attention to her.

Qu Qingcheng would only pay attention to girls like Shang Xiaoran.Cheerful, cute, lovable.

instead of her.Gloomy, silent, autistic.

******

It makes no difference to Zhu Yao whether the evening self-study is English or mathematics.

I hid in the desk drawer and read comics, and whenever I heard the teacher's footsteps approaching, I put my phone back in the deep drawer.

Anyway, she looked indifferent, and it didn't look like she was doing something bad.

After evening self-study, Zhu Yao rode his bicycle home, and accidentally found a light on at home.

Zhu Yao walked in and found Zhu Yinglan sitting at the dining table, arranging a table full of contracts and documents.

"Have you had dinner yet?"

"Ah."

"Surely eat those messy and unnutritious foods again, such as spicy soup and cold baked noodles, right?"

"No, it's annoying."

No more words.

"Is there any living expenses left?"

"Have."

"I'll get you some more."

"Oh."

"You little heartless." Zhu Yinglan patted the table, shaking the pile of scorpions: "I work hard for you every day outside, and you don't have to worry about living expenses when your dad finds Xiaomi, you don't know what to say thanks Mom?"

"……thanks……"

The word "Mom" was stuck in my throat and I couldn't say it.

The cheeks seem to have their own memories, the burning feeling after being slapped by Zhu Yinglan last night, and the icy coldness after Qu Qingcheng handed over the Coke this afternoon, the two feelings are intertwined and switched back and forth.

Zhu Yinglan looked at Zhu Yao's face: "You..."

In the end, I just said: "Go to the study and do your homework."

******

study.

Zhu Yao stared blankly at the notebook in front of him.

There are two kittens on the cover, one yellow and one white.

Outside the study room, there was a rustling sound of slippers rubbing against the floor, and Zhu Yao curled up his fingers.

Zhu Yinglan stood at the door of the study for a while.

Finally, accompanied by another rustling sound of slippers, he walked away.

Through the door of the study room, I vaguely heard Zhu Yinglan closing the door with a bang.

Zhu Yao loosened her tightly curled fingers.

"Did I hurt you last night", Zhu Yinglan couldn't say it anyway, and Zhu Yao couldn't wait anyway.

The mother and daughter are separated by a door, and also separated by ten long years and all the silent waiting.

Turned into an icy galaxy, each star has a sharp thorn, and there is no possibility of crossing.

From the time his parents divorced at the age of seven, Zhu Yao lost not only his father, but also his mother.The once gentle mother was replaced by this thorny woman, gone forever.

Zhu Yao's face was hot again like she was beaten by her mother last night.

She opened the notebook, and under the "September 2016, 9" written with a pen, wrote - "Qu Qingcheng".

There are no ink dots today, but the writing is still ugly.

Zhu Yao was thinking about the cool feeling of the bottle of iced coke that Qu Qingcheng gave her today, and the cool touch on her face, she closed the book, and went to the refrigerator to get another bottle.

******

After Chinese class the next day, Zhu Yao went to the bathroom.

Unlike other girls who hold arms close to each other and talk about "Your bangs look good today" or "Go to the movies this weekend", Zhu Yao never walks alone.

In fact, Zhu Yao would like to give a suggestion to those who compile the loneliness index - for middle school girls, going to the bathroom alone is the highest level of loneliness.

When standing inside and waiting for the compartment door to open, other girls would give strange looks.

Zhu Yao couldn't hold back anymore before going to the bathroom.

He rushed to the classroom in a hurry, but unexpectedly bumped into Qu Qingcheng who had just left the classroom in the corridor.

Qu Qingcheng smiled and asked, "Why are you running in such a hurry?"

Zhu Yao pursed her lips and said nothing, but she could still hear Shang Xiaoran's charming voice from the classroom: "Goodbye, Teacher Qu."

"You're very good." Qu Qingcheng said suddenly.

"what?"

"Chinese homework, I really did it obediently."

"Oh."

"I thought you were bought by Ice Coke, but I didn't expect you to hand in all your math homework and English homework."

"...What do you mean unexpected."

Qu Qingcheng smiled: "It's just that you keep looking at your mobile phone in class, and you still have earphones in your ears. I thought you wouldn't hand in your homework."

"If you don't hand in your homework, you will be called a parent."

Qu Qingcheng said "Oh": "So you are the kind of kid who cheats on you."

Zhu Yao lowered his head and said nothing.

Qu Qingcheng added: "As a result, you handed in your math homework, which is not the one you used."

"what?"

"Didn't you just buy a notebook before you took me to the laundry the day before yesterday?" Qu Qingcheng stretched out his slender fingers and gestured: "The cover is yellow."

"Isn't the cover of the notebook you handed in your math homework in blue?"

Zhu Yao was taken aback: "How do you know?"

Qu Qingcheng: "I went to see other teachers to see if you only handed in the Chinese homework or all other homework."

"Oh."

"Where's that notebook?"

"……threw."

"Oh why?"

"It suddenly didn't look good."

"I think it looks pretty."

"I don't think so." His tone became stiff.

Qu Qingcheng smiled, "You little kid."

She walked away with the textbook in her arms, and Zhu Yao suddenly said, "The other assignments were copied."

"Ok?"

"Other homework is copied, and the Chinese homework is done by myself, and I will reward you with two yuan of ice coke."

Qu Qingcheng smiled: "Aren't you afraid that I will report you to other teachers?"

"You won't, you."

Qu Qingcheng smiled and left.

Zhu Yao returned to the classroom, unexpectedly Shang Xiaoran would call her: "Zhu Yao."

Zhu Yao looked over.

"What gift did you give for Teacher's Day?"

Zhu Yao: "I have never given Lao Fang a gift before."

Shang Xiaoran laughed: "It's not Lao Fang, it's Teacher Qu."

"We all like Teacher Qu, and we are discussing whether to give Teacher Qu the first Teacher's Day gift."

"What about you?"

Zhu Yao: "I don't do this, trouble."

Walked back to his seat.

Lowering your head, you can still hear other girls whispering to Shang Xiaoran: "I told you not to ask Zhu Yao, she is so out of gregarious."

"The expression is also gloomy, which scares me to death."

Gloomy and out of gregarious.

Zhu Yao stared at the manga on the phone, unconsciously swiping and turning the pages.

Is it Teacher's Day?
